Original subtitles

Please lower your voice,

for the song of love is whispering to you.

Please focus your eyes,

and find your way down this long hair.

Ten years is like a dream, one-hundred is still but a dream,

a thousand years is a merely a flash of light.

To go beyond time is not frightful.

Losing one's light is certainly dreadful.

Cosmos Dream, until the ends of space,

won't you search for love?

The endless universe spread an uncountable myriad of stars,

hiding infinite dreams and enigmas within its unknown and mysterious twilight.

In March of the year 1999, from within this darkness of the universe,

like the gentle, imperceptible dawning of the spring sun,

an ominous force approached the slumbering Earth.

September 9, 00:09:09 Hours, 1999

March, 1999, Tokyo

Amamori Electron Accelerators

The Pole Star!

And, the star shining to its left is... Cassiopeia!

That would be the Andromeda galaxy!

Then, over here is Pegasus. And over here is Lacerta.

Perseus!

Those stars look like the jovial face of a king.

It's so beautiful!

But those dim stars in the middle - I wonder, what they look like!

I can't wait for my 150-x magnifying astronomical telescope.

Hajime, dinner is ready!

Coming!

What's with that guy? He's totally creeping me out.

Oh, dad still isn't here?

He will be soon.

Is he still busy at work?

The observatory has given him an urgent task.

I just want him to finish my 150-x telescope sooner...

Don't put everything on your father, if you want it so much, go make it yourself!

There isn't much work to be done. Everything's done except for the electronics.

Just because your dad is a great engineer doesn't mean you can burden him with your troubles!

His work must be really important.

Itadakimasu!

Is that a very good way to eat your food?

He's not going to listen to anything you say. He has a one track mind.

So what's the boy babbling about today?

"I can't wait for my astronomical telescope." So I told him to make it himself.

Seconds please!

The only thing he seems capable of doing independently is eating.

Oh, well. It's really not that bad to rely on others from time to time.

I'll finish the telescope today.

Really?

I promise.

Waa! This is just too cool!

Are you sure? Don't you still have that urgent work from the observatory!?

He's waited a long time for this.

Shouldn't I do something for my boy? Besides, astronomy is educational.

Thanks dad, what a persuasive oration!

This kid is something else...

Mind your manners, young man!

Look out! Something strange is out there!

I don't see anything.

And I saw a suspicious man near the gate earlier.

Oh, so now it's a detective story?

Open space-based astronomical observatory unit 16781085 to the Tsukubasan Observatory.

I am ready to transfer data regarding the approaching planet. Transmission CF01.

This is Tsukubasan Observatory.

We are ready to recieve transmission.

Tsukubasan Observatory

What's going on here!?

Chief, we've registered an approaching planet.

An approaching planet?

We're still receiving data.

It looks likes its orbit overlaps ours.

The object appears to have a redshift.

In that case, we have nothing to worry about.

But chief, the open-space observatory said they registered an approaching planet!

If it was approaching, we'd see a blueshift. This is just so strange.

First of all, how could all the observatories in the world miss a planet??

What the heck...?

Why would the observatory need such a thing...

Hello?

Is this Amamori?

Yes.

And you are?

I highy advise you to quit your job. It is dangerous and your safety cannot be guaranteed.

Who is this? Who are you!??

Hello!? Hello!?

Hello.

I am the vice-chief of the Tsukubasan observatory, Yukino Yayoi.

You! What was that!? What does the observatory want with such a dangerous thing!?

Sorry, I cannot explain it right now, but you need to finish it as scheduled.

It's getting scary here, I just received some suspicious phone call...

I understand. I'll explain everything to you as soon as you finish.

And please, as soon as you finish, burn the blueprints!

The blueprints?

Understood.

Chief, we've calculated the trajectory of the planet.

Good, put it on screen.

These are the orbits of the nine planets of our solar system.

This is the orbit of the approaching planet.

What? How the...

It is undoubtebly one of our solar system's planets.

Well, it has the largest orbit. How about calling it the "10th planet"?

A 10th planet.. Unbelievable.

When will it be closest to Earth?

In the year 1999. In other words, this year, September 9th, at midnight and 9 minutes, 9 seconds,

the orbits of the Earth and this planet will cross.

We don't have much time left.

On this assumed course, should gravity cause the planet to be drawn to the Earth, the Earth will be destroyed.

The year 1999, September 9, 00:09:09.

Good morning.

Morning!

Yo!

Morning!

Hajime!

Get up!

Hajime!

You're already late...

Hajime!

The telescope!

This feels great!

Dad! Dad!

Where is Dad?

He's been working since yesterday evening.

Ah, so he worked all-night long...

Look!

Don't forget to properly thank him later.

Get eating before you're late again.

Okay.

Itadakimasu.

Hajime, don't screw around, eat normally!

Okay

Dad, thanks a lot for the telescope!

Breakfast is ready, so go and eat.

I'm off to school, see ya later.

Mister, what are you doing?

Don't you have any pity?

It's him!

Thank you for saving my cat.

The girl from the ramen shop....

You're a kind boy, aren't you?

Eemm.. I.. well...

Thank you anyway. See you later!

You fool! How can I forgive this madness!?

Sit in the hallway at lunchtime, and think about how you're going to get to school on time!

But teacher, I saved a cat's life on my way to school.

A cat?

That tiger cat that the ramen shop girl has. I saved it from a savage attack!

I'm not lying! I really saved it!

Hey, Amamori! Maybe you just ate too much and need a nap?

Silence! Anyway, you're late. Get out.

"Thank you."

Wha...?

That's what she said.

Stop it already!

Yes.

"Thank you."

Starting today, we are going to monitor that planet round the clock. All personel hurry to your prescribed posts.

Good morning, chief.

Morning!

Good morning.

Yukino.. Where is Yukino?

Today's her day off. She just left.

What is she thinking? There's so much to do now...

Chief, here's the data table with an analysis of the object.

Its diameter is around 9 times bigger than Earth's. That's ridiculously huge...

Yes. We thought it might be that large.

Hmm.

Its course?

It didn't change. If it continues like this, it will surely collide with the Earth on September 9, 00:09:09.

Understood. Well, we can't do anything else here. Let's report this to the 4th Science Bureau.

Thank you.

Are you hurt, ye beautiful ramen maiden?

Mmm, it's delicious...

Amamori!

"I am hungry!"

So, what happened after "Ye beautiful ramen maiden"?

Here he comes...

Amamori, stop right there! Come with us.

What?

To the ramen shop.

Why?

To eat some ramen.

You saved the cat of the beauty from that shop, didn't you?

We have to see this for ourselves.

But I have to go home and make preparations for molecular observation.

The observation isn't going anywhere. Come on, it won't take that long.

If you want to go so much, I'll write you a letter of introduction.

Hmm, a letter of introduction?

You thought I'd feed you ramen for this ridiculous letter?

But it's true!

Yeah, we're his friends.

Snap out of it! It was that Amamori Hajime who saved Lady, not you!

That's why we told you who we are...

Shut up! I won't even give you a glass of water!

Dad, what's the matter?

Miss!

"What's the matter?" Look what they brought.

Yayoi?

It's ok. Put them on my tab.

Yayoi!

Well, I'm off!

She is so kind.

I'm moved.

Bow!

It's that man in the trench coat!

Dad, I'm home!

Hajime, don't enter the house!

What?

To be continued

Living within the legend,

Who is this person?

A shining figure with radiant hair,

a queen of queens.

Yours is a life immortal,

but why are your eyes so sad?

Thou can not reach Avalon.

Thou can not enter Paradise...

Next Episode: Hajime! Look at the Endless Universe!

I was saved by the Ramen shop girl.

And then, the man in the trench coat attacked me!

Don't miss the next exciting episode of Queen Millennia,
