To Love - Ru darkness true princess - Ps vita - When you can't do it alone - English subtitled
I like this scene because it shows Rito actually taking advantage of his connections to do something useful. It's also important to the ending of this route. And it teaches the classic lesson of how it's okay to ask for help if you don't know what to do or can't do something alone. I interpreted "seikan" (星間) as "galactic" like at around 5:29, even though the dictionary that I use says "interstellar", to keep things simple. And "メール" as "message" because I wasn't sure if it was e-mail or actual letter mail. Doubting that it was just a text message. At around 5:57 and 6:40, Ryouko and Yami both mention "ルート" (root or also route), but I think "connections" makes more sense. I haven't heard anyone say things like "I have roots/routes to some friends" in English. Also at around 6:40, Yami mentions something about "shioki" (仕置き) which seems to mean "punishment" or "execution", so I referred to the people she was talking about as the "dark executioners" even though I have no idea who they are. I don't remember if they were people I already saw in the anime/manga. It may have something to do with the other assassin dude Yami met, but I read this series a while ago and don't remember as vividly anymore. And "dark executioner" sounds a lot cooler and more fitting than "dark judges" or something else since Yami's an assassin. And finally, for anyone wondering, at around 8:56, dorayaki is a sweet that has bean paste sandwiched between two pancakes. Tastes amazing. I highly recommend it to people. Some of them have nuts in them though, so beware to people with nut allergies.

What...what can I do?
I am just a human from Earth, after all.
Is there something that I could do on my own?
Let's say for example, asking someone for help.
...Lala, Yami, Mikado-sensei.
If it were those three...
...then maybe they could help.
But...
...maybe this is something that I should do alone.
Top: Do it yourself. Bottom: Ask for help.
...No, there's no way this is something I can handle by myself!
Hey...
...Lala, Yami, do you two have a second?
I've got a favor to ask you!
Mmm, what's the matter, Rito?
What kind of favor is this if you have to call us out here?
...Are you scheming something?
No no, I'm not scheming anything, I'm not!
Thanks for waiting, what did you want to talk about?
Oh, Lala-san and Yami-chan are here too?
Ah, sensei!
Wanting to talk to so many people...
Is this a favor that I should be suspicious about?
No, it isn't!
The truth is...
...Nana's been bringing Meda-Q to school with her.
Eh, did something happen to Meda-Q?
A lot of hunters have been showing up to his home planet, Tentac, and going after the animals.
...
So Nana and I want to send him back home, but we don't think we can do that with the situation that Tentac is in right now...
Poor thing...
I see...
...that's quite the problem...
But what would you want out of us for this kind of situation?
I don't think that there's anything we can do about it...
...There's something that I want to ask you guys!
Um...
...please!
Eh?
Rito?
W-Why did you just start kneeling down like that!?
Wow, that just shows how serious he is about this, doesn't it?
...
...I want to make Meda-Q happy no matter what.
I feel the same way!
But what should we do?
I've thought of a way!
It's just...
...it won't work with just me no matter what I do, so as lame as this is, I want you to help.
You want us...?
You don't need to kneel like that, we'd be happy to help.
So...
...what exactly do you want from us?
Okay, I'll explain...
They all looked surprised...
...But we can definitely do this if it's with the three of them!
...So?
What did you ask from Sis and the others?
Wamu?
...In response to the poachers on Tentac, we took a risk.
A risk?
That's right, my papa loves Meda-Q from planet Tentac!
The population has been going down lately, and he says he's upset about it...
It might not be long before he enforces disciplinary measures or something.
I also personally suggest that people like poachers stop behaving in such a cruel way.
That's all!
...Phew~
Recording complete.
Was that okay, Rito~?
I responded to the galactic interview message.
I see.
Okay, I'll send this data to the galactic TV office!
I'm sure they'll broadcast it soon~
Thank you, Lala!
Thanks for waiting.
With my connections to the black market, I reached out to some businesses that wanted to protect Meda-Q and filled them in on the details.
Thank you so much!
Well, with the news spreading, I think it'll be nice to make enemies with the people going after Meda-Q.
...I wouldn't want you to be my enemy though, Mikado-sensei.
Yami!
How'd it go?
Did it go okay?
I don't really know if it went well or not...
But after exchanging information through my connections with the dark executioners, I was able to convince them that I loved Meda-Q.
Yeah, that's great!
Perfect!
Thanks, Yami.
Is that so...?
What are you trying to accomplish by doing all that?
We've got the universe's most fearsome king, the universe's dark medic, and the universe's greatest assassin protecting them you know?
With conditions like those, would you think of trying to become a poacher?
...No, I wouldn't.
Right?
It did lower the amount of poachers...
...I just heard about it today.
We did it!
Now planet Tentac will be at peace again!
Aren't you glad, Meda-Q!?
You get to go home!
Wamu!
It's okay now, Nana!
...Why did you do so much?
Eh?
Why did you do so much for this?
Well...
If I tell Nana that it was for her too...
...wait, I can't say that to her in front of Meda-Q, it'd be too embarrassing.
Well you, me...
...and even Meda-Q are like a family.
...Rito.
Anyway...
...just a little longer, and we can take Meda-Q back to Tentac, right?
...Yeah!
Wamu!
Okay, we've got some time left, want to play something?
...Alright, let's play hide-and-seek!
The prize will be some dorayaki, Meda-Q!
Wamu~!
*sigh*
...because we're like a family...huh?
I see...
...that's how it is, huh...?
Wamu...?
He can't do anything by himself, and he trips all over the place...
...while solving our problems...
Even when I gave up so many times already...
What...what do I do, Meda-Q?
I...I might not think of Rito as just family anymore.
Wamu...
