Lately, lots of people have been illegally downloading TV shows over the internet.

Without the right holders' permission, distribution, via the internet or bootlegs, is illegal!

Please remember that!

All warning levels of Es and Fs...

Anyone out there?

Come out now, and this cute plug girl will treat you really well.

Warning level C!

Lock!

OK, time to get to work!

Win!

Now!

Fight!

One Shot Charge!

I didn't expect to get lucky here of all places.

Well, guess I'll drink this and keep working hard.

This world is not the Earth you know.

It's a so-called parallel world.

In this world known as Life Core...

...exists this huge corporation called Neodymium, Inc.

They discovered this parallel universe...

...and developed a way to transport between them.

People of Earth did not know it, but we began a new business...

This business consists of...

Plug!

Yes!

Pay attention!

State what constitutes our business here!

Yes, ma'am!

Our business consists of charging the humans in those parallel worlds...

...who are depressed, thus helping to revitalize their souls!

Yes, that's exactly what we do.

If you know that, then do your damn job!

Damage to your suit!

Fees for wasted electricity!

Waste and destruction of your equipment!

It all comes out of your salary.

No, Chief Pulse!

This month, I bought all this stuff on loan...

And all that debt is really killing me!

Then go make some money.

But I'm on a fixed salary...

Then do a good job and hope for a raise!

You're working overtime!

Go Now! Right now!

Right Away!

But I'm trying my hardest...

Plug In!

What was that?

What's wrong?

I think [I just hit something.

What? I don't see anything.

That's weird...

Stealth Function ON!

Humans can't see us, but they can touch us.

Just in case, Omni-band Isolation Stealth ON.

OK, then! Guess it's time for work!

It's always at times like this that it's hardest to find a target.

That's a good thing for the people of the parallels, but...

It's a serious problem for my wallet!

I need to find a target right away!

Thank you.

Thank you.

Sento-kun, help them in the back, would you?

But I'm supposed to be up front today.

Yeah. Didn't think I'd find any targets at a family restaurant...

Where are the targets?

Game's over.

What was that for?

That's my line!

What the heck...

Who the heck are you?

Ah!

Um... Maybe you can see me?

Why do you think I hit you?

Who are you, anyway?

Some kind of new family restaurant thief?

What are you doing, Brother?

Hakone! lono?

What's wrong?

Why are you holding a bat?

Swinging a bat around to take your mind off how much your job sucks?

Must be a pretty slow day...

Swinging a...

Can't you see her?

Her?

What is he talking about?

My stealth is working normally.

So how can he see me?

Huh?

What are you looking at, girl?

Well?

Has Sen-nii been tired lately?

Don't look at me like that, damn it.

Brother, your work's almost done right?

Y-Yeah, sorry.

I ended up having to take a night shift today.

I see.

Then you can't go back with us.

I thought this was my chance, too...

Chance?

No, nothing! Nothing!

Then I'll make you dinner, OK?

What would you like, Brother?

It's all right. You don't have to do that, Hakone.

Once work's over, I'll come straight home.

You don't need to worry about a thing.

But...

Warning level C.

She needs charging!

Wow, what a kind brother!

I can't believe I found one in a place like this.

I'll charge you right up, OK?

Fight!

One Charge!

What are you doing to Hakone?

Why did you swing your bat?

That's my job.

My name is Plug.

So, let me get this straight.

Hakone's will to live was lacking, so you tried to stab her with that huge plug?

That's right!

We charge people up with energy.

People call us charger girls.

Is that all you've got to say?

Wh-Why?

Shut up!

I'm not letting you do something shady, like charging her up.

For one thing, Hakone's doing just fine, thank you very much!

But my life-checker classified her warning level as C!

Warning level?

Yes. She's still just a class C, but it might get worse if I don't help her.

When humans' warning levels increase and life activity values drop...

They cease to do anything, and their minds end up breaking.

If that happens, she could become a vegetable or maybe even kill herself!

Kill herself?

That's impossible.

Well, her mom died a few years ago, and her dad may be at work all the time...

But that's why I've done my best to make sure she suffers as little as possible.

That's right... You're suffering, aren't you?

Well, Magical Girl Sweetie Millie?

You still think you can spread love to the whole world?

I won't be beaten!

This is the ultra-rare anime Sweetie Millie, which got canceled after...

...the public complained, and the sponsors and TV station got into a big fight!

To see an anime with such love, overflowing with hopes and dreams...

I must be really lucky!

No. You're unlucky.

Well, Millie?

Do you now see that nobody needs love?

Don't touch my bitch!

Don't you dare try that charging crap on her!

Sorry, Hakone!

I'll make dinner right away.

I was busy changing.

Brother...

You don't have to do anything.

Just wait a bit more.

Hakone-chan.

Brother!

You're running too fast!

Hurry up, stupid.

Sento-kun told me not to charge her.

I'm not letting you do something shady, like charging her up.

For one thing, Hakone's doing just fine, thank you very much!

How rude!

Something shady...

We're helping people, you know!

Good morning, Hakone!

Good morning...

Good morning.

Good morning.

But...

It does bug me...

What's bothering her so much?

OK! This is Hakone-chan's school!

And then she was like...

Try reading from line 2, page 23.

OK, see you tomorrow, Hakone.

Yeah, bye bye.

I don't understand the reason at all.

I'm back.

I'll be working late again today. Be sure you eat dinner.

Sento-kun did all the chores himself!

There's even miso soup.

He's like some kind of super-housewife.

Hakone-chan?

Mom...

Hakone.

Uh..

Don't worry about a thing.

Brother...

Leave it to me.

You don't have to worry.

Brother!

Hakone.

Mom... Even if you're not here, even if Dad works all the time...

I'm not lonely at all.

But...

Brother works too hard for my sake.

If he gets sick or ends up like you because of that... I...

I'd...

I'd die.

Hakone-chan, you're that worried about him?

So, it's his fault after all!

Yes. She's still just a Level C, but it might get worse if I don't help her.

Hakone?

Um...

Pardon me!

I'm heading home.

Good night.

Sento-kun, where I work, this is against the rules.

But I wanted to say something...

Just one thing.

Hakone's worried about that?

I think she's suffered a lot.

Screw you.

I'm not making her suffer.

I'm protecting her, that's all.

She doesn't need to worry about me. She just needs to grow up like a normal girl.

No! Because you try to do everything yourself...

She's convinced herself she can't do anything.

She's-

Hold on a second.

You said you heard all this in the bathroom, right?

Yeah.

Which means you watched her in the bath?!

Um, I think that's really a minor issue here!

Batter up!

I'm back.

Hakone?

Is she in her room?

Hey, Hakone!

Brother, I've gone to see Mom. I've gone to see Mom.

What?

It says she is going to see her Mom.

No way!

Commit...

Suicide?

Hakone is here?

Yes.

Good, there's a substation nearby.

Substation?

I need a huge amount of voltage to charge someone.

Normally, I can use the transformers on telephone poles, but...

Now I can use a lot of power if I need to.

OK!

I'm going to change into my suit.

Suit?

What kind of outfit is that?

Um, work clothes, I suppose.

I can see certain people being really into that.

Are there really people who are into insulators?

In an emergency, charger girls can transform into an insulated suit in 0.01 seconds!

Let's watch this process in detail.

Or let's not, since we're out of time.

Maybe next time guys!

Hakone!

I have to do what I can!

Hakone!

Plug set complete!

Oh, right!

I need to ground myself, just in case.

I can't mess up this time.

I'm going to save Sento-kun's precious Hakone-chan!

Mom...

Hakone!

Brother?

Brother!

Are you OK?

I'll lift you up now.

Brother.

Damn it... This is bad.

Brother, let me go.

You'll fall, too!

I won't let you go.

You're my little sister!

Brother.

Charge.

Here I go, Brother.

What are you doing?

Hakone!

Stop! Stop it!

This is dangerous!

Are you OK, Hakone?

Yeah.

Brother.

Yes?

I'm really happy that you always try to do everything for me...

...and I'm so thankful.

Of course I do.

You're my little sister...

But I want you to stop.

I want to help you, too!

I want to be useful to you!

Hakone...

But...

Hakone?

I love you, Brother.

So, I'll do chores and everything...

Hakone?

Jeez... I'm an idiot, aren't I?

A stupid brother.

Brother...

I guess we'll take turns making dinner from now on.

OK!

Good for you, Hakone-chan.

See you later!

Bye, Brother!

OK! You're making dinner tonight, OK?

Right!

Hakone-chan, did something happen?

Nothing.

That's really suspicious.

Come on! Tell me!

Wait! Tell me!

I guess it's thanks to her.

Thanks, Plug.

The chief didn't have to yell so much just 'cause my report was late...

I wonder if Sento-kun and his sister are doing all right.

Hello!

Why, you...

Miracles exist next to reality, it definitely exists.

Fight! One Shot! Charger Girl!

A small sigh, because of worries.

Now, staring at your back.

It's wrong, that's why I won't say those kind of words.

People definitely aren't alone.

Even if I touch that painful memory gently.

Even if I forget that precious time.

That's why, to reach even a little higher.

Look, the shine reflected in the child's eyes.

Let the whole world be filled with energy.

I can lend you my power only for this moment.

Plug Cryostat

What is she doing?

Fight in one strike! Charging Ladies! Finally starts!

With that said, I'm eager to be the main character!

Well, since I'm a Neodym Inc. elite, I think I should be the only main character...

Hey, who says you get to call the shots?!

I'm the main character!

Plug Cryostat!

You've got guts to put yourself on the same level as me...

You really piss me off!

On the next episode of Fight in one strike! Charging Ladies!:

Timing!

By the way, who are you?

You'll have to find out in the next episode.
