00:10.130 --> 00:14.220
48, 49, 50!

00:15.330 --> 00:17.800
Done. Drink some water and take a break.

00:19.060 --> 00:20.260
Don't push yourself too far.

00:28.180 --> 00:29.850
Oof, it's a cute girl!

00:29.850 --> 00:31.400
She looks so young!

00:31.700 --> 00:33.440
Can she even move that thing?

00:42.950 --> 00:46.540
I've had it with this 
stupid, superficial world!

02:18.500 --> 02:21.880
<i>Twenty-eight years have passed 
since the Downfall incident.</i>

02:22.420 --> 02:26.710
<i>In those twenty-eight years, though we've all 
received protection from these so-called heroes,</i>

02:26.710 --> 02:29.670
<i>we've also been exposed 
to the heroes' conflicts.</i>

02:29.670 --> 02:31.540
<i>We've even suffered disasters 
brought about by those conflicts.</i>

02:31.540 --> 02:33.710
<i>Only through correct guidance can 
we truly achieve better order.</i>

02:33.710 --> 02:36.130
<i>That is why I want to become X.</i>

02:36.130 --> 02:38.120
Mom... Mom!

02:38.790 --> 02:40.310
I... I...!

02:41.300 --> 02:43.740
I wanna be a hero when I grow up!

02:44.310 --> 02:45.120
Oh?

02:47.760 --> 02:50.040
Oh, my goodness!

02:51.020 --> 02:53.080
You are just too cute!

02:53.940 --> 02:56.640
Come here, Lily. Say it again, 
this time to the camera.

02:58.270 --> 02:59.160
I-

03:00.720 --> 03:03.330
I wanna be a hero when I grow up!

03:07.780 --> 03:12.060
Hey, Lily. Come look at the video I took 
of you when you were young. So cute!

03:15.140 --> 03:19.050
Mom, I'm 16 already. Stop calling me "cute".

03:19.050 --> 03:21.530
What! My daughter looks pretty!

03:21.530 --> 03:24.700
Everyone loves you! As your mother, 
I should be your number one fan.

03:24.700 --> 03:27.280
<i>Come here, Lily. Say it again, 
this time to the camera.</i>

03:27.280 --> 03:29.580
<i>I wanna be a hero when I grow up!</i>

03:55.200 --> 03:59.310
If I go out like this to help people, 
I won't be made fun of for my appearance!

03:59.860 --> 04:04.030
I'm Hero Loli! Defender of justice! 
Destroyer of evil! Let's go!

04:04.980 --> 04:05.700
Ow!

04:07.640 --> 04:09.670
That's your punishment 
for picking on Da Xiong!

04:09.670 --> 04:11.050
Tiger, you okay?

04:11.050 --> 04:12.620
What'd she shoot you with?

04:12.620 --> 04:15.780
Loli, where'd you get that weapon?

04:15.780 --> 04:18.280
I found a lab in the basement at home.

04:18.280 --> 04:20.460
I just modded some stuff I found!

04:22.980 --> 04:26.730
Hey, why won't this thing come off?

04:26.730 --> 04:28.420
I call this the Kowtow Crossbow.

04:38.940 --> 04:40.300
Tiger, what are you doing?

04:40.300 --> 04:41.690
I don't even know!

04:41.690 --> 04:44.440
My head feels heavier and heavier!
I can't raise my head!

04:43.510 --> 04:45.420
Not only can you not remove it,

04:45.420 --> 04:47.240
the end of the arrow also gets heavier!

04:47.240 --> 04:49.370
That forces you to bow down and apologize!

04:49.370 --> 04:52.100
Now's the chance! Give it to me!

04:52.100 --> 04:54.090
Right now? A-Are you sure?

04:54.090 --> 04:55.440
I'm sure!

04:59.300 --> 05:01.000
You're finally gonna do it!

05:05.550 --> 05:06.460
Loli!

05:06.460 --> 05:10.400
I actually bully Da Xiong all the 
time just to get your attention.

05:10.400 --> 05:12.340
You're just too cute!

05:12.340 --> 05:15.560
I've been too shy to give you this letter.

05:15.560 --> 05:17.310
Now's finally my chance!

05:18.420 --> 05:19.220
Huh?

05:22.340 --> 05:25.930
Loli, your invention is amazing.

05:25.930 --> 05:28.610
Even Tiger bowed down to you!

05:31.080 --> 05:34.000
Can I really not be a hero 
just because I'm cute?

05:34.000 --> 05:37.430
Huh? Well, now I know why 
you're dressed like that...

05:37.430 --> 05:38.960
I-I think...

05:39.730 --> 05:43.130
Do appearances really matter 
that much to heroes?

05:43.130 --> 05:46.170
I, uh... I think...

05:46.170 --> 05:47.610
What do you think?

05:51.840 --> 05:54.600
I think you really are cute!

05:54.600 --> 05:56.620
If you don't match 
people's idea of a hero,

05:56.620 --> 05:58.440
maybe it's just not 
something you can force...

05:58.440 --> 06:00.080
Oh, yeah!

06:01.550 --> 06:05.400
Da Xiong, not you, too...

06:06.540 --> 06:08.570
No!

06:08.890 --> 06:13.280
The weather report said it'd rain 
today, so I brought an extra...

06:14.090 --> 06:15.310
...umbrella.

06:18.550 --> 06:21.290
Where's the justice in this?!

06:21.290 --> 06:23.900
Being cute is a flaw?!

06:23.900 --> 06:27.620
If I get pegged as some cute, 
helpless little girl because of my appearance,

06:27.620 --> 06:30.640
then I'm just going to 
become weaker and weaker!

06:30.640 --> 06:35.460
How will I be able to chase my 
own hero dream like Queen is doing?!

06:36.710 --> 06:40.010
Maybe I'll just cut my hair 
short and be a little tomboy.

06:57.000 --> 07:01.250
Why should I give in?! 
I like long hair! I like pink!

07:01.250 --> 07:05.620
What's wrong with being short?! 
Why do I have to change myself?!

07:05.620 --> 07:08.090
I need to find a way to be pretty <i>and</i> strong!

07:08.090 --> 07:11.340
<i>FOMO has officially ended their 
partnership with Hero DJ Shindig.</i>

07:11.780 --> 07:14.780
<i>Hero DJ Shindig reached the top in the 
ranking tournaments fifteen years ago,</i>

07:14.780 --> 07:17.030
<i>but his performance has stagnated since.</i>

07:28.360 --> 07:30.940
Lily, what are you doing, 
heading down to the lab again?

07:42.220 --> 07:43.330
<i>I'm going...</i>

07:43.330 --> 07:45.600
<i>to design a battle suit for myself!</i>

07:58.020 --> 08:00.540
<i>I'll create a whole new hero persona</i>

08:08.290 --> 08:10.730
<i>and shatter the negative 
image people have of me!</i>

08:37.510 --> 08:38.800
It's him again?

08:53.770 --> 08:55.320
Th-There's a creep following me!

08:57.080 --> 08:58.110
Creep!

08:58.860 --> 09:02.070
Wait! I'm here to protect you. I'm a hero.

09:02.070 --> 09:05.190
You're... a hero?

09:06.530 --> 09:09.070
I'll explain later. Stay behind me.

10:08.290 --> 10:11.560
Hello? I'm in the 54th District, 
in Bagel Alley on Third Avenue.

10:11.560 --> 10:14.770
We're being attacked by some 
weird guy! We need a hero here!

10:45.510 --> 10:47.890
Damn creep! Get lost!

10:55.720 --> 10:57.520
What... happened to him?

10:58.190 --> 11:01.360
No idea. I just hope he 
doesn't show up again.

11:01.360 --> 11:03.960
Why am I always being 
followed by weird people?

11:11.420 --> 11:14.460
Are you all right? Looks like the transducer's been hit.

11:15.080 --> 11:19.120
I'm okay. Thanks. That guy was really 
strong. Why was he following you?

11:19.120 --> 11:21.050
Maybe you should get the HAC to investigate.

11:22.790 --> 11:24.380
I should be the one thanking you.

11:24.380 --> 11:28.070
I didn't expect to see such a cute 
girl underneath that hero suit.

11:31.050 --> 11:32.370
I'll take my leave.

11:32.370 --> 11:35.790
I'm sorry, I didn't mean 
it like that. I was just...

11:53.500 --> 11:56.900
<i>I didn't expect to see such a cute 
girl underneath that hero suit.</i>

11:54.650 --> 11:56.900
<i>I think you really are cute!</i>

11:56.900 --> 11:58.680
<i>Oof, it's a cute girl!</i>

11:56.900 --> 11:59.460
<i>If you don't match 
people's idea of a hero,</i>

11:58.680 --> 12:00.420
<i>She looks so young!</i>

11:59.460 --> 12:01.760
<i>maybe it's just not 
something you can force...</i>

12:00.420 --> 12:01.760
<i>Can she even move that thing?</i>

12:07.130 --> 12:08.140
What are you guys doing?!

12:09.260 --> 12:11.600
It looks like she's inherited your genius.

12:11.600 --> 12:14.260
She was doing all of this by herself.

12:14.260 --> 12:16.020
We were both too neglectful.

12:16.020 --> 12:17.660
We just kept treating her like a child.

12:17.660 --> 12:18.370
Dad!

12:19.230 --> 12:23.310
I didn't think you'd create 
all these messy inventions.

12:23.310 --> 12:25.220
I was too focused on my work.

12:25.220 --> 12:28.240
I didn't even notice what 
my own daughter was up to.

12:28.240 --> 12:29.860
You've never watched over me!

12:29.860 --> 12:31.950
Don't start interfering now!

12:31.950 --> 12:34.960
This has gone far enough.
I won't let you take any more risks!

12:35.820 --> 12:39.790
These things I brought home 
to do some research with...

12:39.790 --> 12:42.930
I never expected you
to do dangerous things with them.

12:42.930 --> 12:45.620
I've already cleared out the basement.

12:45.620 --> 12:48.180
What right do you have to take 
away the fruits of my labor?!

12:48.180 --> 12:52.470
Not to mention, I just want to help people! 
What do you mean, dangerous?!

12:52.810 --> 12:56.980
Do you think all those weapons and equipment
 are just some make-believe toys?!

13:01.610 --> 13:04.060
Da Xiong! What are you looking at?!

13:04.060 --> 13:05.060
Put that away!

13:05.060 --> 13:06.070
Yes, Professor Luo.

13:06.440 --> 13:08.500
Da Xiong, don't touch my stuff!

13:07.850 --> 13:09.320
Stop your insolence!

13:09.600 --> 13:11.870
If you're really interested 
in your little toys,

13:11.870 --> 13:14.400
then come and work properly 
at the Glimmer Lab.

13:18.600 --> 13:20.990
I'll put in a special application for you.

13:20.990 --> 13:24.130
I can take you and Da Xiong 
there for a tour next week.

13:25.240 --> 13:28.340
And I'll get all of your things 
stored at the warehouse.

13:38.600 --> 13:40.860
Welcome to the Glimmer Lab!

13:40.860 --> 13:43.550
The Glimmer Lab has been 
conducting scientific research

13:43.550 --> 13:46.530
and development in various fields 
since Year 16, with great results!

13:46.530 --> 13:50.510
The lab is divided into different areas 
according to confidentiality levels.

13:50.510 --> 13:52.700
Each project has a designated 
person in charge.

13:53.040 --> 13:56.800
This is where I work—
the experimental warehouse.

13:55.130 --> 13:56.260
Wow!

13:56.800 --> 13:58.870
It's called a warehouse,

13:58.870 --> 14:01.690
but it's really a piece of land
ripe for free study!

14:04.310 --> 14:08.060
Are all of the things stored here 
no longer worth researching?

14:08.630 --> 14:10.140
Not everything!

14:10.960 --> 14:15.060
For example, I know there's something 
here that you'll really like.

14:15.550 --> 14:16.500
This!

14:18.110 --> 14:21.400
What... is this? Huh?

14:21.890 --> 14:25.220
I took a look at your 
blueprints the other day.

14:25.220 --> 14:26.150
Mhmm.

14:26.150 --> 14:29.610
So you want to create super armor?

14:29.610 --> 14:31.950
Yeah! Yeah!

14:36.310 --> 14:41.330
Well, this was just completed 
in secret not too long ago.

14:41.730 --> 14:44.760
It will surely become...

14:44.760 --> 14:47.130
the godly mecha armor of your ideals!

14:55.650 --> 14:59.220
What's with that disgusted look?!

15:04.040 --> 15:07.900
Um, no! I think... it's all right!

15:08.360 --> 15:12.610
Loli... Never thought you'd be one
to lie to save another's feelings.

15:12.610 --> 15:15.610
To each their own, right?

15:15.610 --> 15:17.460
Mechanical armor is supposed 
to look like this!

15:17.460 --> 15:20.790
Da Xiong, you've brought someone new 
to look at your masterpieces again?

15:20.790 --> 15:23.390
Wang Nuonuo! Stop it with your sarcasm!

15:23.390 --> 15:27.840
I know it's been put into storage, but I 
believe that gold will glitter forever!

15:27.840 --> 15:30.260
Well, it wasn't just the 
old-fashioned design.

15:30.260 --> 15:33.620
Your MCU and IMU didn't pass, either.

15:33.620 --> 15:37.850
So, for now, it's only useful for guarding the
warehouse and scare off a few people.

15:37.850 --> 15:40.680
Isn't that why I brought someone to help?

15:40.680 --> 15:41.390
You're...!

15:42.660 --> 15:46.460
So the genius inventor 
Da Xiong was talking about was you?

15:46.460 --> 15:50.080
That armor you were wearing that night... 
did you design and build it yourself?

15:50.080 --> 15:54.070
No wonder you could tell right away that 
the transducer was busted. You work here!

15:54.070 --> 15:58.100
Yup! Professor Luo had me transferred here 
to help Da Xiong manage the warehouse.

15:58.100 --> 16:00.800
This is great! 
Now I've really got good helping hands!

16:00.800 --> 16:02.000
This is great!

16:03.140 --> 16:06.130
Now you two can help me build my 
ultimate iron-blooded warrior!

16:06.420 --> 16:09.000
Don't get ahead of yourself.

16:12.500 --> 16:15.190
What kind of metal is this?

16:15.190 --> 16:19.000
It's highly malleable,
but it's got such a hard texture.

16:20.440 --> 16:24.490
I found it in my dad's lab. 
It looked like junk.

16:26.890 --> 16:28.020
All thanks to them,

16:28.020 --> 16:31.440
the redesign is going a lot 
faster than expected.

16:31.440 --> 16:33.320
The transducer's output is fixed, too.

16:34.040 --> 16:35.690
Thank you for the new design.

16:35.690 --> 16:38.840
You've shown me that power and 
beauty really can coexist.

16:40.010 --> 16:42.540
You can think of it as 
repaying you for saving me.

16:44.490 --> 16:48.880
So... if you're this talented, 
why are you working in a warehouse?

16:50.860 --> 16:55.490
Actually, my first job after graduation 
was at the lab reception desk.

16:55.490 --> 16:56.150
Huh?

16:58.580 --> 17:02.580
Sometimes, people's first impression 
of you trumps your resume,

17:02.580 --> 17:04.400
and it affects your interview, too.

17:04.400 --> 17:05.620
My name's Wang Nuonuo.

17:05.620 --> 17:08.480
I majored in electronics and
my minor is in industrial design.

17:08.480 --> 17:11.890
My goal is to create 
technologies that'll span generations.

17:11.890 --> 17:13.610
Technologies that will bring a better future.

17:13.610 --> 17:15.450
What a beautiful young lady.

17:15.450 --> 17:16.980
You don't look like an electronics major.

17:16.980 --> 17:20.210
Oh, that's right. 
Isn't the admin hiring a receptionist?

17:20.210 --> 17:22.040
Why don't we let her try that?

17:22.040 --> 17:22.800
Yes.

17:23.770 --> 17:27.840
We'll have you start with a basic position
so you can acclimate to the environment.

17:28.420 --> 17:32.970
Reception is our guests' first 
interaction with the Glimmer Lab.

17:32.970 --> 17:36.180
You'll be greeting guests 
with utmost hospitality.

17:36.180 --> 17:37.930
This is no simple task.

17:39.180 --> 17:42.800
Encountering something like that at a 
scientific lab boasting research and study

17:42.800 --> 17:44.250
is peak irony.

17:46.550 --> 17:48.850
Luckily for me, though, I met Professor Luo.

17:49.370 --> 17:50.020
My dad?

17:50.020 --> 17:52.940
Yup. If not for your dad that day,

17:52.940 --> 17:57.200
I might still be the person greeting you with a wide smile at the front.

17:59.810 --> 18:03.690
Greetings. All guests at the laboratory 
are required to have an appointment.

18:03.690 --> 18:05.640
May I ask with whom you might be in contact?

18:06.360 --> 18:08.370
What the hell is HR doing?

18:08.370 --> 18:11.900
An elite graduate with electronics and 
industrial design under your belt,

18:11.900 --> 18:14.100
and they've put you at the reception desk?

18:14.100 --> 18:15.170
This is your resume, right?

18:15.880 --> 18:18.430
Hello, Professor Luo! 
Yes, this is my resume.

18:19.760 --> 18:22.100
Are you interested in working with me?

18:22.100 --> 18:24.100
Really? That'd be amazing!

18:24.100 --> 18:26.000
Thank you so much for this opportunity!

18:26.850 --> 18:28.920
So he's keen on caring for others,

18:28.920 --> 18:32.150
but I doubt he'd notice if his own 
daughter were to take apart his house.

18:32.150 --> 18:34.270
No way. Professor Luo's such a nice person.

18:34.270 --> 18:37.290
Forget it. I don't even know how 
many times I see him in a year.

18:37.290 --> 18:39.600
You? How's your relationship with your father?

18:42.820 --> 18:45.060
He passed away when I was three.

18:47.140 --> 18:49.740
I'm sorry. I didn't know.

18:49.740 --> 18:53.080
It's all right. That's why, even though you 
two don't see each other all that often,

18:53.080 --> 18:54.630
it's still something I envy.

18:55.410 --> 18:58.030
Okay, enough chatting. 
Hydrate and let's be on our way!

18:58.030 --> 18:59.920
We'll be close to completion tomorrow.

19:03.500 --> 19:06.310
Nuonuo, do you think you could...

19:06.310 --> 19:07.350
take me out for a drink?

19:10.060 --> 19:10.700
Cheers!

19:10.700 --> 19:11.310
Cheers!

19:16.070 --> 19:18.160
I haven't had a beer in so long.

19:18.160 --> 19:19.920
I asked you to take me out for a drink.

19:19.920 --> 19:21.840
Why'd you order a cola for me?

19:21.840 --> 19:24.410
Nuh-uh! You're not of age yet!

19:24.710 --> 19:29.900
Hmph. I just wanted to 
experience work life.

19:29.900 --> 19:31.770
You can experience it 
vicariously through me.

19:31.770 --> 19:34.730
I'm warning you, though. 
I really can't hold my liquor.

19:34.730 --> 19:36.290
I'm scary when I'm drunk.

19:36.290 --> 19:40.380
Wait! Let's take a photo 
before you get drunk, then.

19:40.980 --> 19:42.890
All right. Glasses up!

19:53.270 --> 19:55.860
Hey, there seems to be someone 
outside watching us!

19:55.860 --> 19:58.740
Where? It isn't the same 
creep from last time, is it?

20:02.770 --> 20:03.990
Loli, where are you going?

20:03.990 --> 20:05.200
He's gone too far!

20:05.860 --> 20:07.660
The more weak and passive we are,

20:07.660 --> 20:10.020
the more these creeps are going 
to keep pushing our boundaries!

20:10.020 --> 20:11.810
You're drawing...

20:11.810 --> 20:14.670
Just like last time, 
we're going to fight back!

20:14.670 --> 20:17.080
Show him who's boss and scare him off!

20:20.380 --> 20:22.760
Come on! Let's declare war on him together!

20:28.460 --> 20:32.020
Yell it with me! Damn creep, get lost!

20:32.020 --> 20:34.290
D-Damn creep, get lost...

20:34.290 --> 20:36.350
Damn creep, get lost!

20:36.350 --> 20:39.330
Damn creep, get lost!

20:47.050 --> 20:49.540
Damn creep, get lost!

20:49.540 --> 20:52.080
If you keep yelling, 
security's gonna think <i>you're</i> the creep.

20:53.170 --> 20:54.590
Isn't that Wang Nuonuo?

20:54.590 --> 20:55.760
What's up with her?

20:55.760 --> 20:57.760
This is your resume, right?

20:57.760 --> 20:59.470
What the hell is HR doing?!

20:59.470 --> 21:02.660
An elite graduate with electronics and 
industrial design under your belt,

21:02.660 --> 21:04.880
and they've put you at the reception desk?

21:06.350 --> 21:10.300
Okay, okay! Now I know how 
scary you are when drunk.

21:08.640 --> 21:11.850
Wait, you're an elite graduate?

21:12.360 --> 21:15.980
Let's go and a our goal!

21:13.930 --> 21:16.530
Hey, we're back at the lab
so you can rest up!

21:16.530 --> 21:17.930
We're not here for you to keep—

21:17.040 --> 21:17.930
Loli!

21:22.260 --> 21:24.310
You must become a hero.

21:24.310 --> 21:26.880
You're going to declare war on all those 
who have negative impressions of us.

21:26.880 --> 21:28.200
Show them what we're made of!

21:30.280 --> 21:31.740
Yes. Of course!

21:34.300 --> 21:36.790
Who's this? It's the middle of the night!

21:36.790 --> 21:39.470
Hello? Speak up! Who's this?

21:46.470 --> 21:49.200
Huh? What, another drunk guy?

21:49.200 --> 21:50.720
Hey, who're you?

21:51.530 --> 21:58.200
Looks like no one remembers me anymore. 
Let us reminisce in joy, then!

21:58.200 --> 22:01.340
Stop right there! 
What're you going on about...

22:03.610 --> 22:09.660
Ladies and gentlemen! Let the party... begin!
