E-Excuse me!
**[00:28] Konoha**
What year is it right now?
**[00:33] Uni Student B**
Um, it's the year 1992...
**[00:38] Konoha**
1992?
**[00:42] Konoha**
What?!
**[00:44] Konoha**
This is the worst of the worst!
**[00:49] Konoha**
Deep breaths! Deep breaths!
**[00:53] Konoha**
U-Um...
**[00:54] Konoha**
My name is Konoha Akisato!
**[00:57] Konoha**
I-I-I'm from the year 2023,
and I ended up in Akiba in 1992!
**[01:05] Konoha**
Something's weird here!
**[01:06] Konoha**
You've got the wrong person!
**[01:08] Konoha**
I'm just a poor, lowly illustrator!
**[01:12] Konoha**
I can't handle this at all!
**[01:16] Konoha**
It's freezing!
**[01:18] Konoha**
L-Listen!
**[01:19] Konoha**
You, watching this video right now!
**[01:21] Konoha**
If I end up dying here,
**[01:23] Konoha**
take the PC in my apartment,
**[01:24] Konoha**
and completely demolish it, without looking
at the contents of the hard drive!
**[01:27] Konoha**
Please, do it for me!
**[01:30] Konoha**
My home address is Tokyo-to,
Musashino-shi—
**[01:33] Konoha**

Oh, just look at the time.

We'll go through the rest tomorrow,
so read over the proposal.
**[02:39] Konoha**
*The bishojo game industry these
days is doing really badly,*
**[02:42] Konoha**
*with light novels, gacha games,
and VTubers clobbering it left and right,*
**[02:47] Konoha**
*and my company, Blue Bell,
is the worst of the worst!*
**[02:50] Konoha**
*Our prez has given up on
selling full-priced games,*
**[02:52] Konoha**
*and he's going all in on the bargain market!*
**[02:55] Konoha**
*And in this two-bit bishojo game company...*
**[03:00] Konoha**
*I'm nothing more than a sub-illustrator!*
**[03:04] Konoha**
*As for the company's main artist...*

Final Draft
**[06:38] President**
Okay, continuing where
we left off yesterday,
**[06:41] President**
have you all taken a look at the proposal?
**[06:45] Konoha**
I have a suggestion!
**[06:46] President**
Oh, it's just you.
**[06:48] President**
A suggestion, you say?
**[06:50] President**
An idea for our new game?
**[06:51] Konoha**
Yes!
**[06:52] Konoha**
It's a way better idea
than what you have now!
**[06:55] President**
So what's it about?
**[06:57] Konoha**
It begins, well, in the midst of battle!
**[07:01] Konoha**
On a far-off planet, there's a war underway!
**[07:05] Konoha**
I think every story needs to start
in a super-distant location!
**[07:11] Konoha**
Is this Earth in the future?
**[07:13] Konoha**
Or are we in a different
dimension altogether?!
**[07:16] Konoha**
My, oh my!
**[07:19] Konoha**
Meanwhile, you have a girl who attends
school in the Japanese countryside!
**[07:25] Konoha**
But then, half of her body
melts away to nothing!
**[07:32] President**
Hey, now!
**[07:33] President**
How long *is* this story?!
**[07:36] Konoha**
Um, this is still the opening,
so the heroine hasn't shown up yet.
**[07:41] Konoha**
So far, I've talked about
the heroine's friend—
**[07:44] President**
That's enough of that!
**[07:46] President**
How many minutes are you going to
waste on explaining the opening?!
**[07:49] President**
What kind of game are you
trying to make here?!
**[07:52] President**
Do you know how much it'd cost
to make a game like that?!
**[07:56] President**
Are you trying to bankrupt
us with your dream game?!
**[08:02] President**
The days when people would buy
monumental games are long gone!
**[08:08] President**
This 4,500 yen MILF hypnosis
game is all we can manage now!
**[08:35] Konoha**
It's still cold.
**[08:37] Konoha**
Is the microwave busted?
**[08:42] Konoha**
I'm gonna go buy some lunch!
**[08:47] Konoha**
Making a MILF hypnosis game
because you have no funds...
**[08:51] Konoha**
You're gonna have plenty of rivals,
**[08:53] Konoha**
and there's no way you can compete with the
ones that specialize in hypnosis plots...
**[09:00] (Flashback) President**
*The days when people would buy
monumental games are long gone!*
**[09:07] Konoha**
*I know. In times like these...*

*I wish for a full-priced game,

**[09:20] Konoha**
*If you can grant that
wish, I'll do whatever...*
**[09:24] Konoha**
*Well, maybe not.*
**[09:26] Konoha**
*But I'll do almost whatever you ask!*
**[09:28] Konoha**
*So please consider it!*
***SIGN*** Used Games
**[09:46] Konoha**
Game Shop BiBi?
**[09:49] Konoha**
A used video game store? Here?!
**[09:53] Konoha**
I had no clue.
**[09:55] Konoha**
I can't believe I hadn't noticed!
**[10:08] Konoha**
*Not a very exciting selection.*
**[10:13] Konoha**
They sell bishojo games here!
**[10:15] Konoha**
What do we have here?
**[10:20] Konoha**
A hundred yen for *Kanon*?!
**[10:22] Konoha**
A hundred yen for *ComiPa*, too?!
**[10:24] Konoha**
A hundred yen for *Rance*?!
**[10:26] Konoha**
What?!

It comes with everything inside...
**[10:38] Konoha**
U-Um, excuse me!
**[10:41] Granny**
Oh, welcome.
**[10:44] Konoha**
You see, I'm not trying to buy this.
**[10:47] Konoha**
Um, why is this game so cheap?
**[10:51] Granny**
Oh, I thought the box looked a little grimy.
**[10:55] Konoha**
This much is nothing!
**[10:57] Konoha**
This is a first press edition of Kanon!
**[11:00] Konoha**
If you sell this for 100 yen,
resellers are going to snatch it up!
**[11:03] Granny**
Resellers?
**[11:05] Granny**
I don't know much about all that business...
**[11:10] Konoha**
Granny, this here is a masterpiece!
**[11:12] Konoha**
It's very valuable!
**[11:14] Konoha**
Even if you didn't dump it in the
bargain bin, plenty of people would...
**[11:18] Granny**
What kind of game is it?
**[11:22] Konoha**
Huh?
**[11:23] Konoha**
What kind of game?
**[11:25] Konoha**
You want me to talk about it?
**[11:27] Konoha**
Me?
**[11:28] Granny**
Yes.
**[11:29] Konoha**
Really?!
**[11:30] Granny**
Of course.
**[11:31] Granny**
Tell me all about it.
**[11:34] Konoha**
Ahem!
**[11:35] Konoha**
Well, you see, *Kanon* was released in 1999,
**[11:40] Konoha**
and it's a really entertaining game!
**[11:43] Konoha**
This girl's name is Ayu,
and she goes "uguu"!
**[11:46] Konoha**
"Uguu"!
**[11:47] Granny**
"Uguu"?
**[11:54] Konoha**
This bin is filled with all
of these incredible games!
**[11:59] Konoha**
So please give them some higher prices...
**[12:02] Granny**
You sure do love video games,
don't you, young lady?
**[12:07] Konoha**
O-Oh, well...
**[12:09] Konoha**
A-All of this is common knowledge
for bishojo game otaku!
**[12:17] Konoha**
I-I'm so sorry!
**[12:19] Konoha**
I went off and blabbed on all
by myself for so long...
**[12:21] Konoha**
I need to get back to the office.
**[12:25] Granny**
Konoha-chan, do you like
games with girls in them?
**[12:31] Konoha**
Huh? I-Is that weird?
**[12:33] Granny**
No, not at all.
**[12:37] Konoha**
Seeing cute girls really cheers me up.
**[12:43] Konoha**
But the girls in these games
are more than just cute.
**[12:48] Konoha**
They cry, laugh, face lots of worries,
**[12:53] Konoha**
but despite that, they stay
strong and try their best...
**[12:56] Konoha**
These girls shine brightest within a game!
**[13:03] Konoha**
There's a girl who I want
to star in her own game.
**[13:08] Konoha**
I want her to go on a grand adventure!
**[13:13] Konoha**
Which is why I want it to be a game,
and not just illustrations.
**[13:16] Konoha**
Bishojo games are where cute
girls can truly come alive!
**[13:23] Granny**
I don't know much about video games,
**[13:27] Granny**
but I'm sure that any game you
make would be very fun to play.
**[13:39] Konoha**
Granny!
**[13:40] Granny**
Goodness, what's wrong?
**[13:43] Konoha**
No one at work will listen
to what I have to say.
**[13:47] Konoha**
I'm just as aware as everyone else!
**[13:49] Konoha**
Our company could never
make a full-priced game!
**[13:52] Konoha**
Even so, I just want someone to hear
me out a little, just a little!
**[14:00] Konoha**
Games are supposed to be fun
and fill you with excitement...
**[14:05] Konoha**
But no one at our company dares to dream!
**[14:09] Konoha**
A game that doesn't dare to
dream isn't a game at all!
**[14:12] Konoha**
I don't care if it's a game about hypnosis!
**[14:14] Konoha**
I want to make a game that dares to dream!
**[14:19] Granny**
And you can't stop working at that company?
**[14:22] Konoha**
Well, um...
**[14:24] Konoha**
I don't have it in me to be so assertive...
**[14:27] Konoha**
Quitting would be too scary, so that's
gonna be a no sirree from me...
**[14:32] Granny**
Dearie me...
**[14:36] Konoha**
But thanks to you, it feels like I
managed to shake off some of my gloom!
**[14:42] Konoha**
Um, may I come back here?
**[14:45] Granny**
Yes, of course.
**[14:46] Granny**
Feel free to visit whenever we're open.

Thanks, granny!

**[19:39] Meiko**
I'm learning how to program, too.
**[19:42] Meiko**
So help me debug it!
**[19:44] Meiko**
Pretty please!
**[19:48] Mamoru**
The file size on save is probably
what's causing the error.
**[19:53] Mamoru**
I'll fix it later.
**[19:55] Kaori**
Where are you going, Mamocchi?
**[19:57] Mamoru**
I'm going outside for some coffee.
**[19:59] Kaori**
You know 100 yen isn't enough anymore!
**[20:01] Kaori**
Not with the consumption tax now!
**[20:03] Mamoru**
I know that!

**[20:20] Manager**
Why are we still debugging?
**[20:23] Manager**
We should have finished a long time ago!
**[20:25] Kaori**
That's how game programming works!
**[20:28] Mamoru**
Grown-ups should really know better!
**[20:30] Mamoru**
If I didn't have to help
out Dad with his company,
**[20:33] Mamoru**
there's no way I'd bother with this!
**[20:38] Mamoru**
*I'm calling it quits.*
**[20:40] Mamoru**
*Once this game is finished,*
**[20:42] Mamoru**
*I'll call it quits with these
no-good bishojo games!*
**[20:50] Mamoru**
What was that?
**[21:02] Mamoru**
Ouch!
**[21:06] Mamoru**
Ow, ow, ow...
**[21:09] Mamoru**
Wh-Who are *you*?!

Ah! Sorry! Sorry!

*Hold that thought!*
**[00:15] Konoha**

**[00:16] Konoha**
*Maybe I just made a mistake!*

Hey!
**[00:35] Mamoru**
What's the big deal, running
into me like that?!
**[00:38] Mamoru**
Get off me already!
**[00:40] Konoha**
S-S-S-Sorry! Sorry!
**[00:42] Konoha**
Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!

Seriously, what's wrong with you?
**[00:48] Konoha**
U-Um...
**[00:50] Konoha**
Wasn't there a game company here before?

Game company?

Yeah, this is the place.

Bad news, Mamoru-kun!
**[03:03] Meiko**
Kao-san wants you to take a look
at a new error we're getting!
**[03:07] Mamoru**
You're not going to find any bugs.
**[03:09] Mamoru**
My program is perfect.
**[03:11] Meiko**
Oh yeah, were you talking
with someone outside?
**[03:15] Mamoru**
I bumped into a weirdo.
**[03:17] Meiko**
Huh?
**[03:20] Mamoru**
So sad to see, at the end
of the year at that.
**[03:23] Konoha**

What do I do now?
**[03:56] Konoha**
I don't know who I can turn to...
**[04:17] Mamoru**
So damn noisy!
**[04:18] Mamoru**
Oh, it's the girl from earlier.
**[04:24] Konoha**
U-Um...
**[04:26] Konoha**
I know this is a lot to ask of you,
but can you please help me?!
**[04:30] Mamoru**
Huh?
**[04:31] Konoha**
Until recently, I was in the year 2023!
**[04:35] Konoha**
For whatever reason, I traveled
back in time to 1992,
**[04:40] Konoha**
and now I'm in big trouble!
**[04:41] Konoha**
I don't have anyone else to ask for help!
**[04:42] Mamoru**
What the hell is she saying?
**[04:44] Kaori**
Friend of yours?
**[04:45] Mamoru**
Not a chance!
**[04:46] Meiko**
She looks so cold.
**[04:48] Meiko**
Why don't you let her in?
**[04:50] Mamoru**
Huh? Why, exactly?!
**[04:51] Kaori**
I agree.
**[04:53] Mamoru**
Huh?!
**[04:54] Mamoru**
Hey, stop!
**[05:00] Kaori**
You must be freezing.
**[05:02] Kaori**
Come inside.
**[05:05] Konoha**
Th-Thank you very much!
**[05:07] Konoha**
You're angels!
**[05:09] Konoha**
Total angels!
**[05:12] Group**
Traveled back in time?
**[05:14] Konoha**
I don't understand it, either!

Traveling back in time, you
mean like a time warp?

**[05:41] Kyonshi**
Hey, Mamoru.
**[05:42] Kyonshi**
Did you understand a single word of that?
**[05:44] Kyonshi**
I don't have a clue what she just said.
**[05:46] Mamoru**
Nope.
**[05:48] Mamoru**
Okay.
**[05:49] Mamoru**
Let's call the police.
**[05:52] Mamoru**
She's just an otaku
with anime on the brain.
**[05:55] Mamoru**
It's obvious looking at her.
**[05:57] Konoha**
No!
**[05:58] Konoha**
Not the police!
**[05:59] Konoha**
Not the polic—
**[06:00] Konoha**
Please don't!
**[06:02] Konoha**
Don't kick me out of Akiba, pwetty pwease!
**[06:05] Mamoru**
Stop talking like that!

*If he calls the cops on me,
I know it won't end well!*

**[06:29] Konoha**
*If it is, if it is...*
**[06:33] Konoha**
U-Um...
**[06:35] Konoha**
D-Do you make bishojo games here?
**[06:38] Mamoru**
Huh?
**[06:40] Meiko**
Y-Yes, we do.
**[06:41] Meiko**
We run a computer shop, and also
develop games on the side.
**[06:44] Konoha**
U-Um...
**[06:46] Konoha**
Can you please let me work here?!
**[06:49] Meiko**
What?
**[06:49] Konoha**
I work at a bishojo game
studio as an illustrator!
**[06:53] Kaori**
An illustrator?!
**[06:56] Manager**
We're not hiring at the moment...
**[06:59] Konoha**
Um, please take a look at my art!
**[07:01] Konoha**
I'm pretty confident in my
drawings of cute girls!
**[07:05] Konoha**
I may not look it, but I've made my way
on the daily rankings countless times!
**[07:09] Konoha**
Around 1,000th place!
**[07:16] Konoha**
I-It won't turn on!
**[07:19] Konoha**
This stupid tablet!
**[07:21] Kyonshi**
What's that? A PDA?
**[07:23] Mamoru**
They don't make ones that big.
**[07:27] Meiko**
What should we do, Kao-san?
**[07:29] Meiko**
I'm starting to feel a little sorry for her.
**[07:38] Kaori**
Hey, Manager.
**[07:40] Kaori**
She seems funn— to be in trouble,
**[07:42] Kaori**
so why don't we have her help with painting?
**[07:44] Kaori**
We just happen to be
short-handed right now.
**[07:46] Manager**
Well, I guess we'd take anyone
who can paint at this point.
**[07:52] Manager**
Is she really going to be useful?
**[07:53] Kaori**
You can paint CGs, right?
**[07:55] Konoha**
Y-Yes!
**[07:56] Konoha**
Why, I've painted hundreds in my time!
**[07:59] Kaori**
Okay.
**[08:01] Kaori**
Please help us, then.
**[08:03] Kaori**
For now, you'll be working
unpaid, if that's okay.
**[08:06] Konoha**
Yes! I'd be happy to!
**[08:08] Kaori**
Okay, Mamocchi.
**[08:10] Kaori**
Please teach her how to use all the tools.
**[08:14] Mamoru**
Huh? Why me?!
**[08:16] Kaori**
The two of us still have CGs to work on.
**[08:19] Kaori**
Besides, the programmer's got nothing
to do without any bugs, right?
**[08:24] Meiko**
Ask if there's anything you need help with.
**[08:24] Mamoru**
I know how to use the tools, but I can't
teach her anything about painting!
**[08:26] Konoha**
Yes!
**[08:28] Kaori**
She's in your hands.
**[08:32] Konoha**
*Now I'm stuck with this scary kid!*
**[08:35] Konoha**
P-Please go easy on me...
**[08:40] Mamoru**
Fine.
**[08:42] Mamoru**
Let's go upstairs.
**[08:43] Konoha**
Wait, upstairs?
**[08:46] Mamoru**
The development room.
**[08:48] Konoha**
The development room!
**[08:53] Mamoru**
This is where we make games.
**[08:55] Konoha**
That old computer still works! Pog!
**[08:58] Mamoru**
That's a DA.
**[08:59] Mamoru**
It's not that old.
**[09:01] Mamoru**
You'll be sitting over there.
**[09:03] Mamoru**
Go take a seat.
**[09:04] Konoha**
Y-Yes!
**[09:09] Konoha**
Check out these clicking noises!
**[09:10] Konoha**
Is that the disk drive?
**[09:12] Mamoru**
What else would it be?
**[09:13] Mamoru**
You don't own a computer?
**[09:15] Konoha**
I-I sure do!
**[09:17] Konoha**
But my computer doesn't have a floppy drive!
**[09:20] Mamoru**
What, are you still using tape drives?
**[09:23] Konoha**
I have an SSD!
**[09:26] Mamoru**
The hell is that?
**[09:27] Konoha**
Anyway, I'll be fine!
**[09:29] Konoha**
I've been drawing on my
computer since middle school!
**[09:34] Konoha**
*Hold it!*
**[09:36] Konoha**
*Everyone in this era is drawing
on these ancient machines!*
**[09:40] Konoha**
*Which means...*
**[09:42] Konoha**
*as an artist from the 21st century with
my cutting-edge bishojo art techniques,*
**[09:47] Konoha**
*if I make art in this era...*
**[09:52] Konoha**
*I could be invincible!*
***SIGN*** Maru Painter
**[10:00] Mamoru**
Have you used a painting program before?
**[10:03] Konoha**
Yeah, more or less.
**[10:07] Konoha**
Um, that's a mouse you're using.
**[10:10] Mamoru**
Yeah, it's a mouse.
**[10:11] Konoha**
Where's the pen display?
**[10:12] Mamoru**
Huh?
**[10:13] Konoha**
Wait, you want me to paint with a mouse?
**[10:15] Mamoru**
Of course.
**[10:17] Mamoru**
What else are you going to use?
**[10:19] Mamoru**
Were you expecting a paintbrush?
**[10:20] Konoha**
U-Um, um...
**[10:22] Konoha**
I've only ever used Photoshop
and a tablet to paint!
**[10:26] Mamoru**
What are those?
**[10:29] Meiko**
We use MaruPaint and a mouse here.
**[10:34] Konoha**
*This isn't good!*
**[10:36] Konoha**
*I've never done it that way before!*
**[10:40] Mamoru**
First, you scan the line art
and load it onto the computer.
**[10:42] Konoha**
Y-Yes!
**[10:44] Meiko**
Okay, here you go, Kono-chan.
**[10:46] Konoha**
Yes!
**[10:49] Konoha**
What a cute drawing!
**[10:51] Konoha**
Um, who drew this?
**[10:54] Meiko**
Well, me...
**[10:58] Meiko**
Please stop staring at it.
**[11:00] Meiko**
It's a little embarrassing.
**[11:01] Mamoru**
Hey, hurry up and get it on the computer.
**[11:08] Mamoru**
Wait, wait!
**[11:09] Mamoru**
You can't just scan the pencil lines!
**[11:11] Konoha**
What?
**[11:13] Mamoru**
That should do it.
**[11:15] [SONG] Sign**
An old trick using a photocopier to adjust the darkness
of line art and make the line work stand out
prior to the spread of photo editing software.
**[11:16] Mamoru**
Make a copy of the line art so that you
get lines with the right thickness.
**[11:23] Mamoru**
Then take the copy you made,
**[11:25] Mamoru**
scan it in grayscale...
**[11:29] Mamoru**
Look, there you go.
**[11:32] Mamoru**
The data's on here.
**[11:34] Mamoru**
Meiko's lending it to you,
so use that for now.
**[11:34] [SONG] Sign**
Meiko's
**[11:37] Konoha**
*Transferring data with a floppy...*
**[11:40] Konoha**
*Th-That's so 90s!*
**[11:44] Mamoru**
Next, convert the grayscale
line art into black and white,
**[11:47] Mamoru**
and redraw all the jagged lines
while cleaning everything up.
**[11:51] Konoha**
*Redrawing all these lines with just a mouse!*
**[11:54] Konoha**
*Wh-What a pain...*
**[11:57] Kaori**
Mei-chan, how much longer for that one?
**[12:00] Meiko**
Sorry, I'll be done in a moment.
**[12:03] Konoha**
*They're both working so fast!*
**[12:07] Konoha**
*There goes my confidence
as a time traveler...*
**[12:11] Konoha**
Is this really only 16 colors?
**[12:15] Meiko**
Yeah.
**[12:15] Meiko**
The system takes up one
color, so actually it's 15.
**[12:19] Konoha**
15 colors?!
**[12:21] Konoha**
It really looks like it
uses a lot more colors...
**[12:29] Konoha**
This spot right here is painted
a little differently!
**[12:32] Meiko**
That's called "dithering".
**[12:34] Meiko**
You place two colors in
a checkerboard pattern,
**[12:36] Meiko**
to create the illusion
of a color in-between.
**[12:39] Konoha**
*T-Technology of the ancients!*
**[12:43] Kaori**
Mei-chan had the same reaction that you did.
**[12:46] Meiko**
Anyone would be surprised.
**[12:48] Konoha**
*I thought pixel art was
only for chibi stuff!*
**[12:52] Konoha**
*They're drawing huge bishojo
game graphics with it,*
**[12:55] Konoha**
*representing shades of
colors with just pixels!*
**[12:57] Konoha**
*Absolute peak!*
**[13:00] Mamoru**
Okay, try using what you
just saw to paint this.
**[13:03] Konoha**
Yes.
**[13:05] Konoha**
*Um... this color goes here...*
**[13:08] Konoha**
*And this one... huh?*
**[13:10] Konoha**
*How do I undo? Huh?*
**[13:13] Meiko**
How's it going, Kono-chan?
**[13:15] Meiko**
Think you can handle it?
**[13:16] Konoha**
Meiko-san!
**[13:19] Meiko**
Wh-What's wrong?!
**[13:21] Konoha**
Look at this!
**[13:22] Konoha**
All of my knowledge is
completely useless here!
**[13:29] Konoha**
It's just so frustrating!
**[13:31] Konoha**
I'm mad salty!
**[13:36] Meiko**
Don't cry, Kono-chan!
**[13:38] Kaori**
You can do it!
**[13:40] Konoha**
*Wh-Wh-Wha?!*
**[13:42] Konoha**
*They're so touchy-feely!*
**[13:44] Konoha**
*Is this what it was like
at old game studios?!*
**[14:41] Konoha**
I-I did it!
**[14:43] Konoha**
I finally finished this CG!
**[14:46] Konoha**
I made it with just 16 colors!
**[14:49] Group**
Congratulations!
**[14:51] Kyonshi**
Huh, you really pulled it off.
**[14:53] Konoha**
Thank you very much!
**[14:58] Mamoru**
Does she really have prior experience?
**[15:06] Konoha**
The hot water is melting
all my fatigue away!
**[15:10] Meiko**
Kono-chan, do you dye your hair?
**[15:13] Konoha**
Yes, that's right.
**[15:16] Kaori**
How unique.
**[15:21] Konoha**
*When will I be able to go back?*
**[15:24] Konoha**
*And how did this happen to begin with?*
**[15:31] Konoha**
*If I don't find a way to go back,*
**[15:33] Konoha**
*I wouldn't mind just staying here!*
**[15:37] Mamoru**
Did you finally snap?
**[15:40] Mamoru**
You started laughing to
yourself at nothing just now.
**[15:43] Konoha**
Ah, no...
**[15:48] Mamoru**
You've been here working for days on end.
**[15:50] Mamoru**
Aren't you getting sick of it?
**[15:52] Konoha**
Well, I don't have anywhere else to go.
**[15:56] Konoha**
Not to mention...
**[15:59] Konoha**
Making games is fun!
**[16:03] Mamoru**
You're so weird.
**[16:04] Konoha**
Oh, that's right!
**[16:07] Konoha**
Mamoru-kun, do you want some fruity milk?
**[16:10] Mamoru**
"Mamoru-kun"?
**[16:11] Mamoru**
Why is it "Mamoru-kun" now?!
**[16:13] Mamoru**
You called me "Mamoru-san" before!
**[16:14] Konoha**
Hey, I'm 19 years old!
**[16:17] Konoha**
You're younger, aren't you?
**[16:18] Mamoru**
And what if I *am*?!
**[16:19] Kaori**
It looks like those two are getting along.
**[16:19] Konoha**
That's why you're Mamoru-kun!
**[16:21] Mamoru**
I still have seniority here!
**[16:22] Meiko**
Thank goodness.
**[16:23] Mamoru**
You're just a temp worker!
**[16:28] Kaori**
The end is finally in sight!
**[16:31] Kaori**
I can sleep tonight!
**[16:33] Kyonshi**
I'm stepping out to go buy some cigs.
**[16:35] Meiko**
Kono-chan, if you're cold,
we have some extra bedding!
**[16:38] Konoha**
I'm fine!
**[16:40] Konoha**
Now then, good night!
**[16:43] Mamoru**
Hey, why are you sleeping here?!
**[16:45] Mamoru**
Go sleep by your own desk!
**[16:47] Konoha**
But it's cold over there!
**[16:50] Konoha**
And it's so messy with all
the stuff lying around!
**[16:53] Mamoru**
You always sound so timid, but you're
incredibly demanding, you know.
**[16:57] Kaori**
I'm turning off the lights!
**[17:10] Konoha**
Mamoru-kun, you're not going home tonight?
**[17:13] Mamoru**
I can do whatever I want.
**[17:15] Konoha**
Are you looking at a bug?
**[17:16] Mamoru**
My program has no bugs.
**[17:19] Mamoru**
This is something I'm working on for fun.
**[17:21] Konoha**
Fun?
**[17:22] Konoha**
F-Fun...
**[17:25] Konoha**
Oh yeah, why do you work here, Mamoru-kun?
**[17:29] Konoha**
Because you like bishojo games?
**[17:31] Mamoru**
I'm not doing this because I want to.
**[17:34] Mamoru**
I just help out because my dad asked me.
**[17:37] Mamoru**
Well, I've always liked
fiddling with computers.
**[17:41] Mamoru**
But I'm calling it quits.
**[17:42] Konoha**
What?!
**[17:43] Konoha**
You're quitting?!
**[17:44] Konoha**
What a shame!
**[17:45] Konoha**
I think you could become an
amazing game programmer!
**[17:50] Mamoru**
I'd rather join a normal
game company, then.
**[17:52] Mamoru**
Bishojo games are made by people
who can't make regular games.
**[17:57] Mamoru**
These aren't real video games.
**[18:00] Konoha**
That's not true!
**[18:01] Konoha**
Bishojo games are so much fun!
**[18:04] Mamoru**
They may be selling now, while
they're not very common,
**[18:07] Mamoru**
but people will stop buying them in no time.
**[18:09] Konoha**
No, they won't!
**[18:11] Konoha**
Y-You're wrong, Mamoru-kun!
**[18:13] Konoha**
Eventually, Akiba is going to
be filled with cute 2D girls!
**[18:16] Konoha**
No, not just Akiba!
**[18:18] Konoha**
Games, anime, and manga, too!
**[18:21] Konoha**
Trains, buses, and even bags
of rice and bottles of sake!
**[18:24] Konoha**
They're all going to be plastered
with bishojo characters!
**[18:27] Mamoru**
Like that'll ever happen.
**[18:28] Konoha**
It really *will* happen!
**[18:30] Konoha**
I'm telling the real, honest truth here!
**[18:32] Konoha**
Mamoru-kun!
**[18:33] Konoha**
The future is filled with cute 2D
girls because of bishojo games!
**[18:37] Konoha**
Even a cringe otaku like me,
thanks to bishojo games,
**[18:41] Konoha**
can play it off as, "that's just my
character trope, tee-hee", and keep on going!
**[18:47] Konoha**
Maybe you're right that this company
can't make normal video games.
**[18:52] Konoha**
But you know, everyone here is making
the bishojo games of their dreams!
**[18:58] Konoha**
What could be better?!
**[18:59] Konoha**
I love this company, and
everyone who's a part of it!
**[19:07] Konoha**
Mamoru-kun, let's make
bishojo games together!
**[19:20] Mamoru**
You really do have a screw loose.
**[19:21] Mamoru**
Go see a doctor.
**[19:26] Konoha**
After I tried so hard to talk with him!
**[19:28] Konoha**
I thought everyone would be nicer here!
**[21:07] Mamoru**
There, done.
**[21:09] Manager**
That's a wrap! Good work!
**[21:11] Kakori**
We did it...
**[21:12] Meiko**
It's over.
**[21:13] Konoha**
We're finished?
**[21:14] Kyonshi**
Wait, in that route—
**[21:16] Manager**
Okay, you there!
**[21:17] Manager**

No, she's a total beginner.
**[21:41] Mamoru**
She definitely lied about having
worked at a game company.
**[21:44] Manager**
Well, what can you expect from someone
who says she's from the future?
**[21:47] Manager**
Boy, oh boy...
**[21:50] Mamoru**
But it might not be a bad idea to hire her.
**[21:54] Manager**
Why's that?
**[21:55] Konoha**
"Making games is fun!"
**[21:58] Konoha**
"Mamoru-kun, let's make
bishojo games together!"
**[22:02] Mamoru**
Not a lot of people would get so
passionate about mere bishojo games.
**[22:07] Mamoru**
She's an odd one.

**[09:13] Meiko**
Listen to me, Kono-chan.
**[09:15] Meiko**
The environment we're working in has
changed a lot since you were here.
**[09:19] Konoha**
Environment?
**[09:20] Meiko**
Yeah.
**[09:21] Meiko**
The next Alcohol Soft game is
going to be made for Windows.
**[09:25] Konoha**
What? Windows?!
**[09:27] Meiko**
You've heard of it, haven't you?
**[09:29] Meiko**
It's selling like hotcakes now,
**[09:31] Meiko**
so we're thinking of making our next game
on Windows instead of just for the PC-98.
**[09:36] Meiko**
The way we paint CGs and
all has changed, too.
**[09:39] Konoha**
I-I know *all* about Windows!

By "detective," I mean someone to bring

Please find Mamocchi and
bring him back here!
**[10:41] Konoha**
What?!
**[10:43] Meiko**
You see, the development of our
game is currently on hold.
**[10:46] Meiko**
Mamoru-kun says he doesn't want
to make games on Windows.
**[10:50] Kaori**
He said he'll quit unless
it's a PC-98 exclusive.
**[10:53] Kaori**
Mamocchi's the only programmer we have.
**[10:57] Kaori**
Without him, we can't make any games.

*I'm practically an authority
on eroge by now!*
**[12:39] Konoha**
*The internet sure is handy!*
**[12:53] Toya**
U-Um, can I ask you a weird question?
**[12:56] Konoha**
Y-Yes!
**[12:58] Toya**
Um... so...
**[13:02] Toya**
Well... could it be...
**[13:08] Toya**
that you've bought a bishojo game before?!
**[13:13] Konoha**
U-Um...
**[13:15] Konoha**
Yeah, lots of them.
**[13:16] Konoha**
Pretty much every week.
**[13:18] Toya**
I knew it!
**[13:19] Toya**
U-Um, would you come with me
to buy some games over there?
**[13:24] Konoha**
G-Go with you? Wh-Why?!
**[13:27] Toya**
H-How do I put it...
**[13:29] Toya**
You seem like you're used to
buying those kinds of games.
***SIGN*** You seem like you're used to buying those kinds of games
**[13:37] Konoha**
Do I really look like
I buy eroge all the time?
**[13:41] Toya**
E-Ero...
**[13:41] [SONG] Sign**
Ero Ero Ero
**[13:42] Toya**
Th-Th-Th-That's not what I meant!
**[13:45] Toya**
You just looked so confident,
even in a place like this.
**[13:48] Konoha**
A place like this?
**[13:49] Konoha**
You mean a video game store?
**[13:52] Konoha**
C'mon, it's not any kind of
seedy shop or anything...
**[13:56] Konoha**
Wait, are you under the age of 18?
**[13:58] Toya**
Oh, no, I'm 19!
**[14:00] Toya**
There's no issue with my age!
**[14:03] Toya**
I just can't work up the
courage to enter the store...
**[14:07] Konoha**
*Then you should just go
on Amazon or Getchu...*
**[14:10] Konoha**
*Wait, those don't exist yet!*
**[14:17] Konoha**
*Wh-What do I do?*
**[14:19] Konoha**
*I should be looking for Mamoru-kun...*
**[14:22] Konoha**
*Still...*
**[14:25] Konoha**
Sure thing!
**[14:28] Konoha**
Let's go in together!
**[14:31] Toya**
Y-Yes!
**[14:33] Konoha**
Okay, off we go.
**[14:34] Toya**
U-Um...
**[14:36] Toya**
My name is Toya Yamada.
**[14:39] Toya**
N-Nice to meet you!
**[14:41] Konoha**
Oh yeah, I forgot to introduce myself!
**[14:44] Konoha**
I'm Konoha Akisato!
**[14:46] Konoha**
You'll be fine!
**[14:48] Konoha**
There's nothing scary about eroge!
**[14:56] Konoha**
*I've actually never been
inside Messe Sanoh, either!*
**[15:00] Konoha**
*My first time at Sanoh!*
**[15:04] Konoha**
*She's shaking in fear!*
**[15:05] Konoha**
*That's adorable!*
**[15:07] Konoha**
*A reward event this juicy
is rare even for eroge!*
**[15:11] Konoha**
Look, they've got lots of games for sale!

Welcome to Pia Carrot!! - Kizuato
**[15:19] Konoha**
Oh, they have them!
**[15:20] Konoha**
*Pia Carrot* and *Kizuato*!
**[15:32] Konoha**
You got them!
**[15:33] Toya**
Yes!
**[15:34] Toya**
I'm so glad.
**[15:36] Toya**
I read about these two
games on the NIFTY forums,
**[15:38] Toya**
and I really wanted to play them!
**[15:40] Konoha**
Good for you!
**[15:42] Toya**
Th-Thank you very much!
**[15:44] Konoha**
It's fine, it's fine!
**[15:45] Konoha**
Don't worry about it!
**[15:46] Toya**
Do you come to Akihabara often?
**[15:49] Konoha**
Ah, yeah.
**[15:51] Konoha**
I'm always here, I guess?
**[15:54] Konoha**
Oh, yeah!
**[15:56] Konoha**
I should really get going!
**[15:58] Konoha**
Well, enjoy your games!
**[16:00] Konoha**
Bye-bye!
**[16:06] Konoha**
Man, she sure was a cutie.
**[16:09] Konoha**
I guess in this era, you didn't find
a lot of girls in those kinds of stores.
**[16:17] Konoha**
Ah! Mamoru-kun!
**[16:21] Konoha**
Stare.
**[16:24] Konoha**
Suspect in sight.
**[16:26] Konoha**
*Mamoru sure has grown up.*
**[16:30] Konoha**
*Last time I met him, he was 15.*
**[16:34] Konoha**
*So now he's... 19?!*
**[16:38] Konoha**
*We're the same age now!*
**[16:40] Mamoru**
Look at you all, real fine and handsome...
**[16:44] Mamoru**
Oh! What a find!
**[16:46] Mamoru**
A 98 VM!
**[16:48] Mamoru**
You must have worked real hard...
**[16:52] Konoha**
*Mamoru-kun's talking to the used PCs
with such kindness in his eyes...*
**[16:57] Konoha**
*What a creepy kid.*
**[17:00] Konoha**
*I hate to interrupt him
in the middle of this...*
**[17:03] Konoha**
Mamoru-kun, you're under arrest!
**[17:06] Konoha**
J-Just kidding...
**[17:09] Konoha**
Mamoru-kun, it's been a while!
**[17:11] Konoha**
You still remember me, don't you?
**[17:13] Mamoru**
I've never seen you in my life.
**[17:15] Konoha**
What?!
**[17:16] Konoha**
Didn't we make a game together?!
**[17:18] Konoha**
I've never had so much fun
making a game before!
**[17:21] Mamoru**
I don't want to remember any of
the games we made in the past.
**[17:25] Konoha**
Uguu...
**[17:26] Konoha**
I-I guess you don't remember it as fondly...
**[17:29] Mamoru**
So much for that enthusiasm of yours...
**[17:31] Mamoru**
Disappearing on us like that...
**[17:36] Konoha**
Eh?
**[17:38] Kaori**
Do you think she'll bring him back?
**[17:40] Meiko**
Huh?
**[17:41] Meiko**
Oh, you mean Kono-chan and Mamoru-kun?
**[17:44] Kaori**
That's right.
**[17:47] Meiko**
Mamoru-kun's passion for the
PC-98 is the real deal.
**[17:51] Meiko**
But if she doesn't bring him back,
we can't transition over to Windows.
**[17:56] Kyonshi**
We can just hire someone else.
**[17:59] Kyonshi**
Just because he's the manager's son,
**[18:01] Kyonshi**
we're the ones who have been
relying on him all this time.
**[18:04] Meiko**
That may be true...
**[18:07] Meiko**
but I know that Kono-chan
will bring him back!

**[18:12] Konoha**
M-Mamoru-kun!
**[18:15] Konoha**
Mamoru-kun, let's go back!
**[18:18] Konoha**
I don't know how long I can stay here.
**[18:22] Konoha**
So I wanna go back soon and make some games!
**[18:26] Mamoru**
Just how demanding can you be?!
**[18:28] Mamoru**
Why do I have to make games for *your* sake?!
**[18:34] Mamoru**
I won't develop any games for Windows.
**[18:36] Mamoru**
I only make games for the PC-98.
**[18:39] Mamoru**
Go find someone else.
**[18:41] Konoha**
Does it really matter that much
whether it's PC-98 or Windows?!
**[18:48] Mamoru**
Come over here for a minute!
**[18:53] Mamoru**
Pop quiz.
**[18:54] Konoha**
What?!
**[18:55] Mamoru**
Explain what all of these rear
ports are, one by one.
**[18:59] Konoha**
What?!
**[19:00] Mamoru**
If you get everything right, I'll go back.
**[19:04] Konoha**
Um...
**[19:06] Konoha**
Th-That one's a power plug!
**[19:08] Mamoru**
Anyone could figure that one out.
**[19:10] Konoha**
Th-Then there's...
**[19:12] Konoha**
Um, um...
**[19:16] Konoha**
Wh-Who cares if I don't know what they are?!
**[19:19] Konoha**
I can draw pictures just fine either way!
**[19:22] Mamoru**
That's what they all say.
**[19:24] Mamoru**
We live in a time where the people buying
computers don't know anything about them.
**[19:28] Mamoru**
And what's more, it's people
like them who are making games!
**[19:32] Mamoru**
It's so messed up!
**[19:33] Mamoru**
Listen up.
**[19:34] Mamoru**
Programming is about
tinkering with machines!
**[19:36] Mamoru**
It's a conversation with the machine!
**[19:39] Mamoru**
Hey there, 98 VM-kun!
**[19:41] Mamoru**
Can you run this program for me?
**[19:44] Mamoru**
Your 256KB of memory
ought to be enough, right?
**[19:47] Mamoru**
There, you managed it!
**[19:49] Mamoru**
You did a great job!
**[19:51] Konoha**
I-I can't stop shivering, Mamoru-kun.
**[19:55] Mamoru**
This is what programming is.
**[19:57] Mamoru**
But now there's this thing called
Windows trying to butt in.
**[20:01] Mamoru**
That means you can't talk
directly to the PC-98 anymore!
**[20:05] Konoha**
B-But Windows is so convenient!
**[20:08] Konoha**
I don't know how to use
anything other than Windows!
**[20:10] Mamoru**
That's why you don't understand
how computers work!
**[20:13] Mamoru**
Kaori and Meiko are going
to follow suit, right?
**[20:16] Mamoru**
Help yourselves!
**[20:18] Mamoru**
I've had enough!
**[20:20] Mamoru**
It's PC-98 or nothing for me!
**[20:30] Konoha**
Mamoru-kun...
**[20:31] Mamoru**
What now?
**[20:33] Konoha**
That...
**[20:35] Mamoru**
What?!
**[20:36] Konoha**
That's great!
**[20:37] Mamoru**
Huh?
**[20:38] Konoha**
I think that's really great, Mamoru-kun!
**[20:40] Konoha**
You're the best!
**[20:41] Konoha**
You love the PC-98 so much!
**[20:44] Konoha**
I've never met anyone who was so
passionate about making games!
**[20:48] Konoha**
No, everyone else at
Alcohol Soft is the same!
**[20:52] Konoha**
No one at my company ever says anything...
**[20:55] Konoha**
None of them would ever argue like this.
**[20:58] Konoha**
That's why I wanted to come back here!
**[21:01] Konoha**
I wanted to see all of you again!
**[21:08] Mamoru**
What are you saying?
**[21:10] Konoha**
I was assigned as a detective for you!
**[21:13] Konoha**
I promised them I'd bring you back!
**[21:17] Mamoru**
I'll do it if they make
it a PC-98 exclusive.
**[21:19] Mamoru**
Other than that, not a chance.
**[21:21] Mamoru**
That's all there is to it.
**[21:23] Konoha**
Mamoru-kun!
**[21:25] Mamoru**
Are you really a time traveler?
**[21:29] Konoha**
What?
**[21:30] Mamoru**
Of course I don't actually
believe you are one.
**[21:33] Mamoru**
But if it's true...
**[21:36] Mamoru**
Don't you dare do anything.
**[21:40] Mamoru**
Time travelers aren't supposed
to change history, right?
**[21:44] Mamoru**
In that case, don't interfere
with what I do, either.
**[21:59] Konoha**
I'll make sure I capture you!
**[22:01] Konoha**
Fugitive Mamoru-kun!

Please come back to Alcohol Soft!
**[00:07] Konoha**
Everyone wants you back, Mamoru-kun!
**[00:18] PC-9801 DA**
I'm not going back.
**[00:22] Konoha**
Is this... voice synthesis?
**[00:30] PC-9801 DA**
You don't understand the consequences
that Windows will have.
**[00:34] PC-9801 DA**
The PC-98 carries on a rich, long legacy.
**[00:38] Konoha**
**I-It's so hard to make out...**
**[00:41] Konoha**
Mamoru-kun!
**[00:44] Mamoru**
I'm telling you to scram!
**[00:46] Konoha**
D-Does that mean you're okay with
the game not being finished?!
**[00:50] Konoha**
If a staff boycott ends up
pushing back the release date,
**[00:53] Konoha**
the round-up blogs are
going to eat you alive!
**[00:55] Mamoru**
Stop spouting nonsense!
**[00:58] Konoha**
I don't know how long
I have until I go back!
**[01:02] Konoha**
I still don't get how this
time travel stuff works!
**[01:05] Konoha**
So I want to hurry up and make games—
**[01:07] Mamoru**
Seriously!
**[01:07] Mamoru**
Stop talking about time travel
in such a loud voice!
**[01:09] Konoha**
But, but...
**[01:11] Mamoru**
Didn't I tell you?
**[01:13] Mamoru**
Stop trying to change history!
**[01:17] Konoha**
*Grr...*
**[01:18] Konoha**
*He's got some nerve for someone who used
to be younger than me not too long ago!*
**[01:23] Konoha**
Everyone just ignores what I have to say!
**[01:26] Konoha**
History's not going to change!
**[01:31] Konoha**
Okay, have it your way!
**[01:33] Konoha**
I'll be back, and fully armored this time!
**[01:36] Konoha**
Just you wait!

**[03:40] Kaori**
Did they record the MIDIs
into CD-DA for this?
**[03:44] Meiko**
It sounds a lot nicer than
the PC-98 version I played!
**[03:47] Kaori**
It looks like they had no problems
porting *Shizuku* to Windows.
**[03:52] Kaori**
After *Kizuato*,
**[03:54] Kaori**
I think Leaf's next game will be
exclusive to Windows for sure.
**[03:57] Meiko**
Alicesoft as well.
**[03:59] Kaori**
We've all been turning a blind eye to it,
**[04:02] Kaori**
but we need to move on to Windows too.
**[04:05] Kaori**
If we want to survive, that is.
**[04:09] Meiko**
Kao-san, do you think Mamoru-kun
is going to return?
**[04:13] Kaori**
That's up to our detective, I think.
**[04:16] Konoha**
I have returned!
**[04:18] Meiko**
Welcome back!
**[04:23] Konoha**
I'm going back in!
**[04:25] Meiko**
What?!
**[04:26] Meiko**
Wait, a sleeping bag?!
**[04:28] Konoha**
I'll hit him with an overnight camp-out!
**[04:30] Konoha**
It's a showdown to see who
bites it first, me or Mamoru!
**[04:35] Meiko**
Please don't offer up your life so easily...
**[04:38] Kaori**
You've got some guts!
**[04:40] Kaori**
I knew you had it in you!
**[04:44] Konoha**
It's so cute!
**[04:47] Meiko**
These are the graphics
for our upcoming game.
**[04:52] Konoha**
That's moe AF!
**[04:54] Meiko**
Moe AF?
**[04:56] Kaori**
Windows is so nice.
**[04:59] Kaori**
You can use lots of colors,
Photoshop is great,
**[05:02] Kaori**
and tablets are so easy to use.
**[05:04] Kaori**
I can't go back to PC-98 after this!
**[05:08] Konoha**
Whoa, a pen tablet!
**[05:10] Konoha**
This takes me back!
**[05:11] Konoha**
So small! How adorable!
**[05:14] Meiko**
Takes you back?
**[05:15] Meiko**
This is the latest tablet.
**[05:17] Meiko**
That reminds me, Kono-chan.
**[05:19] Meiko**
What kind of stuff do you usually draw?
**[05:23] Konoha**
W-Well, y-you see...

It...

It?
**[05:40] Konoha**
It's a secret!

heck did I come to the past?!

Are you camping out somewhere?
**[06:12] Konoha**
Yeah!
**[06:13] Konoha**
I'm prepared to stay there
until I complete my mission!
**[06:16] Toya**
Is it the release of a big title?
**[06:19] Toya**
Doesn't seem to be the case...

This is for work!
**[06:23] Konoha**
As a super cop...
**[06:25] Konoha**
Ah! That's supposed to be confidential...
**[06:27] Toya**

I'll leave it at that, then.
**[06:30] Toya**
I'm sorry for inviting you
to lunch during work.
**[06:34] Konoha**
Nah, I hadn't eaten anything yet.
**[06:37] Konoha**
Are you sure you're okay paying for me?
**[06:39] Toya**
Yes! I wanted to thank you for last time.
**[06:42] Toya**
Feel free to get extra toppings or noodles!
**[06:45] Konoha**
Yay! Thanks!
**[06:48] Konoha**
Did you buy some more games?
**[06:50] Toya**
Yes.
**[06:52] Toya**
I heard about them on NIFTY a while
back, and I've wanted them ever since.
**[06:55] Toya**
I didn't have the courage to
enter a video game shop before,
**[06:59] Toya**
but I managed to buy them
all by myself today.
**[07:02] Toya**
It's all thanks to you, Konoha-san!

*So cute!*
**[07:07] Konoha**
Toya-chan, you really
love bishojo games, huh?
**[07:10] Toya**
Yes!
**[07:11] Toya**
I really like the cute girls, and bishojo
games nowadays are really fun to play!
**[07:17] Toya**
People line up outside
stores for their release,
**[07:19] Toya**
and there's a lot of art in the magazines.
**[07:21] Toya**
I feel like they're getting
more and more mainstream!
**[07:23] Konoha**
Mm-hmm!
**[07:24] Konoha**
In these days, people bought them
even without any bonuses attached!
**[07:28] Toya**
What do you mean by bonuses?
**[07:30] Konoha**
Extra goodies that come with the game.
**[07:32] Konoha**
Um, you know, like telephone cards!
**[07:35] Toya**
Phonecards?
**[07:36] Konoha**
Also, tapestries!
**[07:38] Konoha**
Digital design references!
**[07:40] Konoha**
Life-size cut-outs!
**[07:42] Konoha**
CDs of two older sisters sweetly
soothing you to sleep!
**[07:47] Konoha**
Ah, um...
**[07:49] Konoha**
Imagine if that's what the future held!
**[07:52] Toya**
I see.
**[07:54] Toya**
It really does feel like
the momentum is there,
**[07:56] Toya**
so a future like that wouldn't surprise me.
**[07:58] Konoha**
Yeah!
**[07:59] Konoha**
It's gonna happen! I guarantee it!

W-Well, you're the first person I've met
that I could freely discuss bishojo games with.
**[08:31] Toya**
A-And so, if you're okay with it...
**[08:34] Toya**
I'd love to meet up with
you like this again!
**[08:36] Konoha**
Yeah, of course...
**[08:39] Konoha**
S-Sure, sounds good.
**[08:41] Konoha**
We'll probably run into each other again.

**[08:49] Konoha**
Man, "Onee-sama", huh?
**[08:53] Konoha**
Okay!
**[08:55] Konoha**
That's what happened today, Mamoru-kun!
**[08:59] Mamoru**
I'm really going to call the cops on you.
**[09:02] Mamoru**
You're disturbing the peace!
**[09:03] Mamoru**
It's 1 in the morning!
**[09:05] Konoha**
This apartment's at the end of the
hallway, so no one passes by.
**[09:08] Konoha**
And I'm using my inside voice.
**[09:10] Mamoru**
You blatantly lowered your voice just now.
**[09:13] Konoha**
If you don't want me here, give
up and go back to Alcohol Soft!
**[09:17] Konoha**
Just to warn you, I've
brought plenty of food!
**[09:21] Konoha**
Besides, I'm used to pulling all-nighters!
**[09:24] Konoha**
All-nighters are an otaku passive skill!
**[09:27] Konoha**
I'm going to stay up and
make you change your mind!
**[09:30] Mamoru**
What are you, a land grabber?
**[09:40] Mamoru**
She fell asleep so quickly...
**[09:44] Mamoru**
This is...
**[09:47] Mamoru**
the device from the future she mentioned...

We've got most of the writing

**[10:15] Kaori**
All we need now is the programming...
**[10:17] Kaori**
In other words, Mamocchi.
**[10:19] Meiko**
Yes...
**[10:20] Kaori**
No, wait!
**[10:22] Kaori**
There's also Comiket!
**[10:24] Kaori**
We need people to help us with our cosplay!

In a situation like this?
***SIGN*** Summer

**[10:29] Kaori**
No matter how busy we are,
we can't skip Summer Comiket!
**[10:33] Meiko**
O-Okay, I get it...
**[10:35] Kyonshi**
Sheesh.
**[10:36] Kyonshi**
You want me to write the script
without the game system in place?
**[10:40] Kyonshi**
What a backwards way of making games.
**[10:41] Kaori**
We have the specs written up, so
make sure your script follows them.
**[10:45] Kyonshi**
Already on it.
**[10:47] Kyonshi**
Just make sure I don't have to do major
rewrites later to match the system.
**[10:51] Kaori**
Kyonshi, you want Mamocchi to
write our game system, don't you?
**[10:55] Kyonshi**
Guess I do.
**[10:58] Kyonshi**
He can implement everything that
we ask for, which is great.
**[11:03] Manager**
That's because Mamoru's been raised
on the PC-98 since he was a kid.
**[11:08] Kaori**
Manager.
**[11:10] Manager**
The PC-98 is practically
a part of him by now.
**[11:15] Manager**
He really might not come back.
**[11:19] Kaori**
He'll be back.
**[11:21] Kaori**
Mamocchi may be a PC-98 devotee,
**[11:24] Kaori**
but before that, he's
Alcohol Soft's programmer!
**[11:30] Meiko**
Yes, Alcohol Soft speaking.
**[11:32] Meiko**
Ah, Kono-chan!
**[11:35] Meiko**
Kao-san!
**[11:37] Meiko**
Kono-chan said Mamoru-kun's gone missing!
**[11:42] Kaori**
Mamocchi's gone missing?!
**[11:43] Konoha**
I-I-I'm so sorry!
**[11:45] Konoha**
I ended up taking a *teensy* nap, you see!
**[11:48] Konoha**
And he ran off while I was asleep!
**[11:51] Kaori**
*Do you know where he went?*
**[11:53] Kaori**
*Do everything you can to find him!*
**[11:54] Konoha**
Got it!
**[11:56] Konoha**
I'll look for him as hard as I can!

In the end, Mamoru never showed up.
**[13:26] Konoha**
I'm so sorry!
**[13:28] Konoha**
It's all my fault!
**[13:30] Konoha**
I failed as a detective!
**[13:31] Konoha**

**[13:33] Meiko**
That's not true! Not at all!
**[13:35] Meiko**
You did just fine!

Looks like we'll need to
find another programmer.
**[13:40] Kyonshi**
Do any of you have someone in mind?
**[13:42] Kyonshi**
We can't wait any longer.

Mamocchi is...

This is...

This is my...

Have a good look!

Mamoru-kun!
**[14:19] Konoha**
Welcome back!

Welcome back, Mamoru-kun!
**[14:23] Kaori**
I knew you'd come back, Mamocchi!
**[14:27] Mamoru**
Glory to the PC-9801!

**[14:36] (Flashback) Kyonshi**
Everything is proceeding

**[14:36] Group**
Glory! Glory!
**[14:40] Konoha**
Mamoru-kun, I thought you
would never come back!
**[14:45] Konoha**
Serious protag move there!
**[14:48] Konoha**
So you were making that cosplay!
**[14:50] Konoha**
Wow!
**[14:51] Mamoru**
This is a funeral for the PC-98.
**[14:56] Mamoru**
Hey, what year did you come from?
**[15:00] Mamoru**
You're from the future, right?
**[15:03] Mamoru**
What year?
**[15:05] Konoha**
U-Um, you said...
**[15:08] Mamoru**
I believe you.
**[15:09] Mamoru**
Just tell me.
**[15:12] Konoha**
I-I came here from the year 2023.
**[15:18] Mamoru**
Normally, there's no way I'd
believe any of what you said.
**[15:23] Mamoru**
But I knew it was true the moment
I held that PDA of yours.
**[15:27] Mamoru**
Something like that could
never exist in this age.
**[15:30] Konoha**
My tablet...
**[15:32] Mamoru**
You came from the future, and
you knew about computers,
**[15:36] Mamoru**
but you didn't know
anything about the PC-98.
**[15:39] Mamoru**
In the future that you came
from, the PC-98 is long gone.
**[15:43] Konoha**
U-Um, well...
**[15:45] Mamoru**
I had already known it deep down.
**[15:47] Mamoru**
The age of the PC-98 is coming to an end.
**[15:49] Mamoru**
I just didn't want to admit it.
**[15:52] Mamoru**
I didn't think it'd be your broken
PDA that made me realize.
**[15:57] Mamoru**
Which is why this is my
send-off for the PC-98.
**[16:03] Konoha**
And you're fine with that, Mamoru-kun?
**[16:06] Konoha**
Wh-Why do you think that because
I didn't know about the PC-98,
**[16:10] Konoha**
the PC-98 won't exist in the future?
**[16:12] Mamoru**
The fact that you didn't
know about it means—
**[16:14] Konoha**
In that case, if the PC-98 doesn't exist
in the future, you can just change it!
**[16:19] Mamoru**
Huh?
**[16:20] Konoha**
In movies about time travelers,
all of them change the future!
**[16:23] Konoha**
You say they can't change the
future, but that's a lie!
**[16:26] Mamoru**
That's because we're talking about movies.
**[16:27] Konoha**
Is that how little you love the PC-98?!
**[16:32] Konoha**
It's fine to change a future
like that, if it sucks!
**[16:36] Mamoru**
No...
**[16:36] Konoha**
It's fine!
**[16:38] Mamoru**
And to make it happen, you
need to work your butt off!
**[16:43] Konoha**
To make the PC-98 number one!
**[16:46] Konoha**
I know you can do it!
**[16:48] Konoha**
Because you're the one,
more than anyone I know,
**[16:52] Konoha**
who really loves the PC-98!
**[16:55] Konoha**
And you're not alone, Mamoru-kun!
**[16:58] Konoha**
Everyone else at Alcohol
Soft is there for you!
**[17:00] Konoha**
The people at Alcohol

**[17:04] Konoha**
If you all work together as a team,
there's nothing you can't do!
**[17:07] Konoha**
You love the PC-98, don't you?!
**[17:10] Konoha**
Isn't that right?!
**[17:15] Mamoru**
Which is why you want me
to go back and make eroge.
**[17:18] Konoha**
W-Well...
**[17:22] Mamoru**
You really *are* a weirdo.
**[17:26] Mamoru**
I've never seen anyone get
so fired up about eroge.

I've always wanted to see it for myself,
**[17:57] Toya**
so I finally worked up the
courage to come this year.
**[17:59] Toya**
It's all because you helped me
buy those games, Onee-sama!
**[18:03] Konoha**
Now you're exaggerating...

That cosplay is really cute!
**[18:08] Konoha**
Y-You think?
**[18:09] Kaori**

**[18:15] Toya**
K Works is the circle run by the
folks at Alcohol Soft, isn't it?
**[18:20] Toya**
Onee-sama, do you know them?
**[18:22] Konoha**
Well, I did a bit of
part-time work for them.
**[18:25] Konoha**
Oh, I know!
**[18:28] Konoha**
Here, have a copy!
**[18:30] Toya**
Are you sure?!
**[18:32] Konoha**

Well, it's not like I drew any of it.

**[18:42] Konoha**
Oh! Yeah, that sounds great!
**[18:44] Mamoru**
I didn't know she had any friends.
**[18:44] Konoha**
Toya-chan, you know how to draw as well?

That's right.
**[08:52] Meiko**
Kono-chan is a mysterious graphic artist
who shows up once every few years.
**[08:57] Meiko**
She may not look it, but she's a
real veteran here at this company!
**[09:00] Meiko**
Isn't that right, Kono-chan?
**[09:01] Konoha**
Th-That's right!
**[09:04] Konoha**
I may not look it, but I'm a real

**[09:09] Konoha**
Ahem!
**[09:10] Konoha**
Let me introduce myself.
**[09:11] Konoha**
My name is Konoha Akisato!
**[09:13] Konoha**
My favorite food is anything sweet!
**[09:16] Konoha**
My specialty is doing impressions of
a VTuber reading off Super Chats!
**[09:20] Konoha**
Wow! Thanks, everyone!
**[09:22] Konoha**
It's nice to meet all of you!
**[09:25] Group**
I-It's nice to meet you.
**[09:28] Kaori**
And back there, feeling totally out of place,
is our veteran old-timer staff member!
**[09:34] Kyonshi**
Who're you calling an old-timer?
**[09:40] Konoha**
M-Mamoru-kun...
**[09:42] Konoha**
H-Hey there.
**[09:47] Konoha**
R-Rocking the glasses look, huh?
**[09:51] Konoha**
*Mamoru-kun's looking even older now!*
**[09:54] Konoha**
*And way scarier to boot!*
**[09:55] Mamoru**
How many times are you going
to show up like this?
**[09:58] Konoha**
Huh?
**[09:59] Mamoru**
Vanishing out of the blue like you did,
**[10:00] Mamoru**
only to show up again, out of the blue.
**[10:02] Mamoru**
At least tell me how it all works.
**[10:05] Konoha**
Y-You see, Mamoru-kun...
**[10:06] Konoha**
I figured it out!
**[10:08] Konoha**
How the time travel works!
**[10:11] Mamoru**
What?
**[10:12] Konoha**
See, when I open up a game...
**[10:15] Mamoru**
A game?
**[10:25] Manager**
How's it hangin'?!
**[10:27] Manager**
You folks better not be goofing off!
**[10:29] Meiko**
Manager!
**[10:31] Kaori**
The only one goofing off here is you!
**[10:34] Kaori**
You're always out of the office partying!
**[10:36] Kaori**
Just look at that awful getup!
**[10:39] Kaori**
The spitting image of a president
who's suddenly got cash to burn.
**[10:43] Manager**
Whoa, harsh words there, missy!
**[10:46] Manager**
But I've got just the thing to shut you up!
**[10:49] Manager**
Hear me out, Kaori!
**[10:51] Manager**
I'm about to say something amazing!
**[10:54] Kaori**
What is it?
**[10:56] Kaori**
Spare us the theatrics
and spit it out already!
**[11:01] Manager**
Our game...
**[11:12] Manager**
is going to be released on console!

I've spent so much time on those games!
**[11:49] Yuki**
Wow!
**[11:50] Kamiyama**
A celebrity!
**[11:52] Minamizato**
What's he doing here?
**[11:54] Konoha**
Mamoru-kun, who's that?
**[11:56] Mamoru**
I vaguely recall that name.
**[11:58] Ichigaya**
I've been a long time fan of Alcohol Soft!
**[12:02] Ichigaya**
I played your latest game, *Horoscope*.
**[12:04] Ichigaya**
It was wonderful!
**[12:06] Ichigaya**
I can just see it now!
**[12:08] Ichigaya**
We're about to enter the age of bishojo!
**[12:12] Ichigaya**
Console ports of bishojo games have
been thriving for a while now!
**[12:16] Ichigaya**
*The Mystery of Nonomura Hospital*!
**[12:17] Ichigaya**
*Doukyuusei*! *Kakyuusei*!
**[12:19] Ichigaya**
*YU-NO*!
**[12:20] Ichigaya**
*Can Can Bunny Premiere 2*!
**[12:22] Ichigaya**
They've all been hits!
**[12:23] Ichigaya**
However!
**[12:25] Ichigaya**
The morons in the industry have been
turning a blind eye to that fact!
**[12:28] Ichigaya**
Refusing to acknowledge bishojo while
using them to rake in the cash!
**[12:33] Kaori**
You may be right.
**[12:35] Kaori**
There are a lot of folks who
are ashamed of bishojo.
**[12:38] Ichigaya**
However!
**[12:40] Ichigaya**
The times are changing!
**[12:41] Ichigaya**
In this economic recession, bishojo
are the one thing continuing to grow!
**[12:46] Ichigaya**
They're booming like crazy!
**[12:47] Ichigaya**
The biggest genre of the 21st
century is going to be bishojo!
**[12:52] Ichigaya**
I guarantee it!
**[12:54] Ichigaya**
We at Diamond Studio have a proven
record of porting games over to console.
**[12:59] Ichigaya**
Won't you trust us with producing the
port of Alcohol Soft's *Horoscope*?
**[13:04] Ichigaya**
It'll be a masterpiece that surpasses
the console version of *To Heart*!
**[13:09] Ichigaya**
Everyone from Alcohol Soft,
let us join hands...
**[13:13] Manager**
Gaya-san!
**[13:13] Ichigaya**
And start a worldwide revolution!
**[13:16] Ichigaya**
That's all from me!
**[13:20] Manager**
Well? Well?
**[13:21] Manager**
Isn't it amazing?
**[13:23] Manager**
The famous Ichigaya!
**[13:24] Meiko**
What a surprise!
**[13:25] Meiko**
I had no idea you knew a celebrity like him!
**[13:28] Kaori**
Well... I guess it was a little surprising.
**[13:31] Manager**
I wasn't just drinking myself
silly for nothing out there!
**[13:34] Manager**
I'm expanding my network every day!
**[13:36] Manager**
You'll say yes to the port, right?
**[13:38] Manager**
I'm all for it!
**[13:39] Kaori**
Well, there doesn't seem
to be any downside for us.
**[13:43] Kaori**
Sure, why not.
**[13:44] Meiko**
Wow! Amazing!
**[13:46] Manager**
We're gonna go mainstream with this!
**[13:49] Kikiko**
A console game!
**[13:51] Lalako**
Wow!
**[13:52] Yuki**
I wonder what platform they'll target!
**[13:54] Meiko**
Kono-chan!
**[13:55] Konoha**
Meiko-san!
**[13:57] Meiko**
We did it!
**[13:58] Konoha**
A console game! Console!
**[14:00] Meiko**
It's like I'm in a dream!
**[14:01] Konoha**
You're not dreaming!
**[14:03] Meiko**
It is my dream, though!
**[14:04] Konoha**
It wasn't just a dream!
**[14:09] Konoha**
And so, when I open up one of these
games, I travel back in time.
**[14:13] Konoha**
Not that I know why it happens.
**[14:15] Mamoru**
And you end up on the day
that the game was released?
**[14:19] Konoha**
Mamoru-kun, do you know how it works?
**[14:21] Mamoru**
How the hell would I?
**[14:23] Konoha**
Maybe I should try opening another one.
**[14:26] Mamoru**
Stop it!
**[14:27] Mamoru**
What if it sends you back further in time?
**[14:29] Konoha**
Y-You're right...
**[14:34] Konoha**
U-Um...
**[14:36] Konoha**
Um, like, you see...
**[14:39] Konoha**
There's one teensy thing that's weird.
**[14:41] Mamoru**
What is it?
**[14:43] Konoha**
Every time I go back,
**[14:46] Konoha**
there are games missing from my place.
**[14:50] Konoha**
My eroge.
**[14:53] Mamoru**
Do you mean they disappeared?
**[14:55] Konoha**
I-It's probably just a burglar
who only steals eroge!
**[14:59] Mamoru**
Are there burglars like that in the future?
**[15:01] Konoha**
N-Not really...
**[15:03] Mamoru**
Then don't mention it!
**[15:04] Konoha**
M-Maybe I've been changing history...
**[15:09] Konoha**
The possibility...
**[15:11] Konoha**
made me a little bit scared.
**[15:14] Mamoru**
Hey, weren't you the one who told me
**[15:17] Mamoru**
that it's okay to change history?
**[15:20] Konoha**
M-Maybe I did...
**[15:22] Mamoru**
What was the point of that, then?!
**[15:24] Konoha**
W-Well, seeing those games disappear
right off my shelf took me by surprise.
**[15:29] Konoha**
I mean, I'm sure it's totally unrelated!
**[15:33] Konoha**
Well, I'm sure you wouldn't get it!
**[15:36] Konoha**
Guess you could call it
a time traveler problem.
**[15:39] Mamoru**
You really get on my nerves.
**[15:41] Mamoru**
In that case, why did you come here?
**[15:44] Konoha**
Huh?
**[15:45] Mamoru**
If you don't want to change
history, why did you come here?
**[15:48] Konoha**
Th-That's because...
**[15:51] Konoha**
I-I wanted to meet the people here!
**[15:54] Konoha**
Everyone at Alcohol Soft!
**[15:57] Konoha**
The truth is, I came here because
I wanted to make a game!
**[16:01] Konoha**
Same goes for last time!
**[16:02] Konoha**
But it's fine now if I don't get to!
**[16:04] Konoha**
I'm trying to behave myself!
**[16:06] Konoha**
I won't change history, and I don't
mind if all I do is part-time work!
**[16:09] ---**
I won't even talk to anyone!
**[16:10] Mamoru**
There's no way you can pull that off.
**[16:12] Konoha**
Whoa!
**[16:14] Konoha**
You think I'm just a big, fat wimp!
**[16:17] Konoha**
That's wimp discrimination!
**[16:19] Mamoru**
It's impossible.
**[16:21] Mamoru**
Besides, what's the point in doing that?
**[16:23] Mamoru**
What exactly did you come here to do?
**[16:27] Konoha**
W-Well...
**[16:33] Kaori**
Okay, let's decide on what everyone
will be doing for the console port.
***SIGN*** Conference Room

***SIGN*** Kaori
Director
**[16:39] Kaori**
I'll be the director...
**[16:44] Kaori**
The director of a console game!
**[16:47] Kaori**
Next, Mei-chan will do the
designs for two new characters.
**[16:51] Meiko**
Sure thing!
**[16:53] Meiko**
How nerve-wracking...
**[16:55] Kyonshi**
Hey, how come I'm not in
charge of the new scenarios?
**[16:59] Kyonshi**
I did the original scenario for this game!
***SIGN*** Kaori - Director
Meiko - Character Designs
Kikilala...
**[17:02] Kaori**
I know you'll add in sex scenes, so no way!
**[17:05] Kaori**
You focus on fixing up the main scenario!
**[17:08] Kaori**
The new story segments will
be left to Kikilala-chan!
**[17:12] Group**
'Kay!
**[17:14] Kaori**
They're our writers for all-ages content!
**[17:16] Kyonshi**
How wishy-washy!
**[17:22] Kaori**
Mamocchi.
**[17:24] Kaori**
You'll handle the system, won't you?
**[17:29] Kaori**
Mamocchi!
**[17:30] Kaori**
Are you paying attention?
**[17:32] Mamoru**
Y-Yeah, got it.
**[17:33] Mamoru**
Diamond will be lending us a
specialized development kit,
**[17:36] Mamoru**
so I don't foresee any problems.
**[17:38] Kaori**
You're not going to be developing
on a DOS/V machine?
**[17:41] Kaori**
It's finally time for you
to make your debut, huh?
**[17:43] Mamoru**
I'll be working on a PC-98, of course.
**[17:45] Kaori**
Also, for a console release,
**[17:47] Kaori**
we'll need to make an animated opening,
**[17:50] Kaori**
and hire voice actresses
to voice the characters...
**[17:52] Hashimoto**
Um, Konoha-san.
**[17:54] Hashimoto**
You're really okay with performing
chores as a part-timer?
**[17:57] Konoha**
Yes!
**[17:58] Konoha**
Just let me know if you
have any errands for me!
**[18:00] Hashimoto**
Why are you whispering?
**[18:02] Konoha**
Oh, don't mind me!
**[18:05] Konoha**
I'm just trying to influence
things as little as possible!
**[18:08] Hashimoto**
Influence?
**[18:09] Kaori**
Okay, I think that covers
it for today's meeting!
**[18:14] Meiko**
Kono-chan?
**[18:15] Meiko**
Why do you have a mop?
**[18:17] Hashimoto**
Konoha-san insisted strongly on
being assigned to cleaning duty.
**[18:21] Konoha**
That's right.
**[18:22] Meiko**
Why?
**[18:23] Meiko**
We've got plenty of
illustration work for you.
**[18:25] Konoha**
Well, it's just for this once...
**[18:36] Meiko**
How should the additional characters look?
**[18:39] Kaori**
Let me think...
**[18:41] Kikiko**
Kyonshi-san!
**[18:42] Lalako**
Please give it some proper thought!
**[18:45] Kyonshi**
I'm thinking!
**[18:46] Group**
Hurry!
**[18:47] Kyonshi**
Yeah, yeah.
**[18:48] Group**
One "yes" will do!
**[18:49] Kyonshi**
Yeah, yeah...
**[18:51] Konoha**
This is nice...

Yeah.
**[20:05] Mamoru**
It's been a while since I've
seen Dad so motivated.
**[20:08] Mamoru**
He's been out of the loop on
company matters for a while.
**[20:11] Mamoru**
He can't keep up with all the changes
bishojo games have been going through.
**[20:16] Mamoru**
All he does every night is go out drinking.
**[20:18] Mamoru**
I don't think he knows the first
thing about Windows games.
**[20:22] Konoha**
I guess the Windows phobia
runs in the family!
**[20:29] Mamoru**
Which is why, with this console game offer,
**[20:32] Mamoru**
Dad must have wanted to show Kaori and
Meiko that he could still be useful.
**[20:38] Mamoru**
Hey.
**[20:40] Mamoru**
What do you think about a console release?
**[20:42] Konoha**
Huh?
**[20:44] Mamoru**
Never mind.
**[20:46] Mamoru**
I know I shouldn't ask you.
**[20:51] Konoha**
A console release sounds great to me!
**[20:53] Konoha**
I'd totally go for it!
**[20:55] Konoha**
Everyone in the office
is so excited about it!
**[20:59] Mamoru**
Are you really gonna stick
to doing menial tasks?
**[21:02] Mamoru**
I thought you wanted to make a game.
**[21:05] Konoha**
Deep down, I want to work on the game, too.
**[21:08] Konoha**
But everyone else is trying so hard,
without time travel or anything.
**[21:12] Konoha**
It doesn't feel right for
me to butt in on that.
**[21:19] Konoha**
I'm just fine handling the chores!

**[03:25] Kaori**
Now we just need to swap out the

**[03:29] Kaori**
Like adding steam to hide the naughty bits,
**[03:32] Kaori**
or putting clothes on naked shots.
**[03:34] Kaori**
It may be a port, but it's best
that we handle the CGs ourselves!

A-A TV network, Kao-san!
**[04:55] Meiko**
What do we do?!
**[04:56] Kaori**
What do you mean?
**[04:58] Kaori**
We came here for work, so we need to go in!
**[05:01] TV Producer**
Hey, Gaya-san!
**[05:03] TV Producer**
What's going on?
**[05:04] TV Producer**
How've you been, man?!
**[05:06] Ichigaya**
Hey! Y'know, I'm so sorry!
**[05:08] Ichigaya**
I haven't had any time to call you!
**[05:11] Ichigaya**
He's a producer at this network.
**[05:13] Ichigaya**
He and I go way back.
**[05:16] TV Producer**
I mainly work on TV anime productions.
**[05:20] TV Producer**
If Gaya-san's scouted you out,
I'd be happy to talk showbiz!
**[05:24] Meiko**
T-TV anime!
**[05:26] Kaori**
Th-This is a whole new level here...
**[05:28] Meiko**
Is this the world of console ports?!
**[05:29] TV Producer**
Anime is great!
**[05:31] Kaori**
But in the future, eroge could very
well get turned into TV anime!
**[05:36] Kaori**
And that could be us!
**[05:40] Kaori**
We're back...
**[05:42] Meiko**
That sure was mentally draining.
**[05:47] Kamiyama**
Ah. Kaori-san, Meiko-san.
**[05:49] Kamiyama**
Welcome back.
**[05:50] Kaori**
Sounds like you girls

**[05:52] Kaori**
What were you talking about?
**[05:54] Kamiyama**
About *Kanon*, the game that just came out.
**[05:57] Kamiyama**
It's really something else!
**[05:58] Minamizato**
I can't believe how unique the heroine is.

I could understand "dayomon," at least!
**[06:07] Meiko**
That almost reminds me of Kono-chan.
**[06:09] Kaori**

It was swarming with debt

**[15:45] Kaori**
so I didn't manage to get anything back.
**[15:50] Kyonshi**
Maybe it's time we closed up shop.
**[15:58] Kaori**
In the end, Ichigaya was no better than
a scummy eroge company president.
**[16:04] Kaori**
Nothing but big talk, while
never showing up for work.
**[16:08] Kaori**
If only the manager had been

**[19:45] Konoha**

**[19:53] Konoha**
Mamoru-kun, who's that?
**[19:56] Mamoru**
I didn't take things seriously.
**[19:59] Mamoru**
I had second thoughts about

**[20:04] Mamoru**
I might have been able

**[20:07] Mamoru**
And even if I couldn't,
**[20:09] Mamoru**
I could have at least paid
attention to what Dad was up to.
**[20:13] Mamoru**
If I had done that, maybe I could
have kept everyone's dream alive.
**[20:17] Konoha**
Everyone's dream?
**[20:19] Konoha**
Mamoru-kun, you think this is your fault?
**[20:22] Mamoru**
Maybe it wasn't.
**[20:24] Mamoru**
But I can't deny I was a
little too unsuspecting.
**[20:27] Konoha**
Mamoru-kun, you love Alcohol
Soft deep down, don't you?
**[20:31] Mamoru**
Not really.
**[20:32] Mamoru**
I've been...
**[20:34] Mamoru**
just stuck here the whole time.
**[20:49] Konoha**
Mamoru-kun!
**[20:51] Konoha**
Let's make a game!
**[20:53] Konoha**
I'll do the art, so let's make a game!
**[20:55] Konoha**
We'll use it to save the company!
**[21:00] Mamoru**
Ugh...
**[21:01] Konoha**
Hey!
**[21:02] Konoha**
This is the part where you go
all whammo, then "yeahhhh"!
**[21:06] Konoha**
What's with the "ugh"?!
**[21:10] Konoha**
I've always wanted to make a game
with everyone at Alcohol Soft!
**[21:14] Konoha**
I knew if I was going to make a game,
I wanted it to be with all of you!
**[21:18] Konoha**
But I couldn't say it...
**[21:20] Konoha**
I was too afraid of changing the past.
**[21:23] Konoha**
But still!
**[21:24] Konoha**
If we don't use my powers now, then when?!
**[21:27] Konoha**
The game I've always wanted to make!
**[21:30] Konoha**
I know that I want to make
it right here, right now!
**[21:34] Mamoru**
Ugh...
**[21:35] Konoha**
What?!
**[21:35] Konoha**
"Ugh" again?!
**[21:37] Mamoru**
I can't deny that your drawing was amazing.
**[21:40] Mamoru**
To be honest, it feels
straight out of the future.
**[21:44] Mamoru**
But what can you do with just drawings?!
**[21:46] Mamoru**
We're talking one billion yen! One billion!
**[21:50] Mamoru**
You can't possibly make one
billion yen off an eroge...
**[21:55] Konoha**
Mamoru-kun, you still don't
understand the power of bishojo.
**[22:00] Konoha**
Bishojo has way more power than you think!
**[22:03] Konoha**
As someone from the future, I guarantee it!
**[22:05] Konoha**
Besides, I'm not alone!
**[22:08] Konoha**
Everyone at Alcohol Soft believes
in the power of bishojo!
**[22:12] Konoha**
If we all work together,
nothing's impossible!
**[22:15] Konoha**
The other day, I helped out a boy I met,
**[22:18] Konoha**
because he was in trouble!
**[22:20] Konoha**
It doesn't matter whether
I change the past or future!
**[22:23] Konoha**
I want to do whatever I can, right now!
**[22:27] Konoha**
Mamoru-kun, are you fine
with just giving up?!
**[22:30] Konoha**
Are you fine with losing everything?!
**[22:32] Konoha**
I don't think you are!
**[22:34] Konoha**
I know all too well that your heart
is burning with passion deep down!
**[22:39] Konoha**
So please!
**[22:40] Konoha**
Believe in me!
**[22:41] Konoha**
Mamoru-kun!
**[22:47] Mamoru**
Can you do it?
**[22:50] Mamoru**
Can you really make that amazing of a game?
**[22:53] Konoha**
I can!
**[22:54] Konoha**
I'm going to make the
ultimate game, right here!
**[22:59] Mamoru**
Then have it your way.
**[23:02] Mamoru**
Whatever you want to make,
I'll bring it to life.
**[23:06] Mamoru**
So make the game that you want!
**[23:09] Mamoru**
You can leave the programming to me!
**[23:11] Konoha**
Really? Whatever I want?
**[23:13] Mamoru**
Yeah.
**[23:14] Mamoru**
You name it!
**[23:16] Konoha**
You mean I can activate beast mode?!
**[23:18] Mamoru**
What the heck is beast mode?
**[23:20] Konoha**
Um, beast mode is when,
well, you go all out!
**[23:24] Mamoru**
Sure, whatever.
**[23:27] Mamoru**
Do it!
**[23:28] Mamoru**
Go beast mode!
**[23:31] Konoha**
All right!

**[00:45] Konoha**
Hey, Mamoru-kun.
**[00:47] Konoha**
What's in this hand cart?
**[00:49] Mamoru**
You wouldn't understand anyway,
so I'm not going to tell you.
**[00:51] Konoha**
That's mean!
**[00:53] Mamoru**
Worry about yourself first.
**[00:55] Mamoru**
The agenda that we wrote down.
**[00:57] Mamoru**
You memorized it, right?
**[00:59] Konoha**
I-I've got it down pat!
**[01:00] Mamoru**
Do you really?
**[01:02] Konoha**
Believe in me!
**[01:05] Mamoru**
Remember now.
**[01:06] Mamoru**
You're not a time traveler!
**[01:08] Konoha**
Y-Yeah.
**[01:09] Mamoru**
Everyone's already in a
state of frenzy as is.
**[01:12] Mamoru**
Don't make things even more complicated.
**[01:14] Konoha**
I-I know that!
**[01:16] Mamoru**
The most important thing...
**[01:18] Mamoru**
is to get them motivated to make your game!
**[01:31] Konoha**
I can't do it!
**[01:33] Konoha**
They'll all say stuff like,
"I don't get it!"
**[01:35] Konoha**
or, "You're such a weirdo!"
I know it!
**[01:37] Mamoru**
I can't tell if you're
bossy, timid, or what...
**[01:42] Konoha**
That's what we introverts
from the future are like!
**[01:45] Mamoru**
Your only choice is to do it.
**[01:46] Mamoru**
So do it.
**[01:51] Konoha**
I'm going to put on some
music to give me confidence!
**[01:55] Mamoru**
You're such a pain in the butt...
**[01:58] Lyrics**

we made each other*

Where's the manager?
**[04:05] Kaori**
Still hospitalized from the shock.
**[04:07] Kyonshi**
I wish I was the one in the hospital!
**[04:11] Konoha**
G-Good morning!
**[04:14] Kaori**
You two are late!
**[04:16] Kaori**
The meeting's started already.
**[04:18] Kaori**
I say that...
**[04:20] Kaori**
but we've just been standing here
overwhelmed at the colossal task in front of us.
**[04:24] Konoha**
U-Um...
**[04:25] Konoha**
Th-There's something I need
to tell everyone here!
**[04:30] Konoha**
I've been keeping a secret from all of you.
**[04:33] Konoha**
I'm not a mysterious freeloader
or a phantom staff member...
**[04:37] Konoha**
The truth is, I came from the year 202—
**[04:40] Konoha**
I-I mean, um, well...
**[04:44] Konoha**
Th-The truth is, I used to be
an illustrator in the US!
**[04:49] Konoha**
USA! USA!
**[04:52] Konoha**
Just kidding...
**[04:54] Mamoru**
Go on, keep talking!
**[04:56] Mamoru**
Lay it on!
**[04:57] Konoha**
E-Everyone!
**[04:58] Konoha**
I've got an idea for an amazing game!
**[05:01] Konoha**
Here!
**[05:04] Konoha**
Take a look at this!
**[05:07] Kaori**
I wish I could always be as positive as you...
**[05:13] Meiko**
K-Kao-san!
**[05:15] Meiko**
Look at that drawing!
**[05:28] Kaori**
S-So cute...
**[05:31] Meiko**
Did you draw this, Kono-chan?
**[05:33] Konoha**
Yes!
**[05:34] Konoha**
I've been doing chores at this company,
**[05:37] Konoha**
but I won't lose to anyone
when it comes to bishojo!
**[05:39] Konoha**
I've wanted to show you this
drawing all this time!
**[05:43] Konoha**
Ever since the day we first met!
**[05:45] Konoha**
I want to make my game at this company!
**[05:48] Konoha**
That's why I came back here!
**[05:50] Konoha**
Across time!
**[05:53] Group**
Time?
**[05:54] Mamoru**
Not time! The sea!
**[05:57] Konoha**
Across the sea!
**[05:59] Konoha**
I came all this way!
**[06:03] Meiko**
Looking at it again, it's still amazing!
**[06:06] Meiko**
What program did you use to draw this?
**[06:09] Konoha**
Photoshop!
**[06:10] Meiko**
What? Photoshop?!
**[06:11] Meiko**
You're using the same program?!
**[06:14] Konoha**
You can use other programs, too.
**[06:15] Konoha**
Like Clip Studio.
**[06:17] Meiko**
Clip Studio?
**[06:18] Kaori**
The way you drew these highlights
in her eyes is exceptional.
**[06:22] Kaori**
You split these highlights
up into all these colors.
**[06:25] Meiko**
Kono-chan, how many layers did
you use for this illustration?
**[06:29] Konoha**
Um, around 200 layers in total!
**[06:31] Meiko**
T-Two hundred?!
**[06:34] Meiko**
Kao-san.
**[06:34] Meiko**
Don't you think Kono-chan's
drawing is incredible?
**[06:36] Meiko**
I've never seen anything like
this, even in a console game!
**[06:39] Meiko**
If we made a game with this art,
it really might just sell!
**[06:46] Kaori**
No, it's not going to work.
**[06:47] Konoha**
What?!
**[06:48] Kaori**
We don't have the computers.
**[06:50] Meiko**
Sure we do!
**[06:51] Kaori**
Our computers can't possibly
handle 200 layers.
**[06:56] Kaori**
They'll freeze up for sure.
**[06:58] Kaori**
It's true that this art
is extraordinarily good.
**[07:01] Kaori**
But it's impossible for us to replicate.
**[07:04] Kaori**
We don't have the computers needed for that.
**[07:06] Kaori**
Maybe you could find computers
like that where Konoha came from.
**[07:11] Konoha**
*Mamoru-kun!*
**[07:12] Konoha**
*What do we do now?!*
**[07:16] Mamoru**
Hey, all of you.
**[07:17] Mamoru**
Use this!
**[07:18] Konoha**
What?!
**[07:19] Group**
What?!
**[07:25] Konoha**
M-Mamoru-kun.
**[07:26] Konoha**
What's that?!
**[07:28] Mamoru**
Sorry to keep you waiting.
**[07:29] Mamoru**
It's time to unveil my super machine
to solve all your problems at once.
**[07:34] Mamoru**
Behold!
**[07:35] Mamoru**
My creation, the most powerful 9821!
**[07:39] Mamoru**
The PC-9821 MATE!
**[07:41] Mamoru**
Super Octa-Core!
**[07:44] Group**
Super...
**[07:46] Group**
Octa-Core?!
**[07:47] Mamoru**
I've linked up PC-9821 Ra models that
have been overclocked to the max,
**[07:52] Mamoru**
so that they can distribute their load.
**[07:54] Mamoru**
A pseudo-recreation of the "multi-core
processor" that Konoha told me about!
**[07:58] Mamoru**
I've loaded it up with
tons of memory as well!
**[08:01] Mamoru**
If we're talking images at VGA resolution,
it can easily handle 200 layers!
**[08:06] Mamoru**
The PC-98 is the future of computing!
**[08:09] Konoha**
Ah!
**[08:10] Konoha**
So *that's* what was in that hand cart!
**[08:14] Mamoru**
Give it a whirl!
**[08:15] Konoha**
You say that, but...
**[08:18] Konoha**
This isn't Photoshop!
**[08:20] Mamoru**
It's a paint program exclusive
to the Super Octa-Core!
**[08:23] Mamoru**
It's optimized for this machine!
**[08:28] Konoha**
It may look a bit outdated,
**[08:30] Konoha**
but it doesn't freeze when I add layers,
**[08:32] Konoha**
it feels great to draw with,
and it's easy to use!
**[08:35] Konoha**
I can work with this!
**[08:38] Meiko**
I think we can do this, Kao-san!
**[08:40] Konoha**
Please, Kaori-san!
**[08:43] Kaori**
Can I ask you something, Kono-chan?
**[08:47] Kaori**
It's true that your art is amazing.
**[08:49] Kaori**
I've never seen such an incredible drawing!
**[08:52] Kaori**
It's just...
**[08:52] Konoha**
Y-Yes?
**[08:56] Kaori**
You won't disappear?
**[08:59] Kaori**
This time around, we really can't have
you suddenly vanish like always.
**[09:04] Kaori**
Will you stay until the end and take
responsibility for making this game?
**[09:10] Konoha**
There's a lot of things I want to do.
**[09:13] Konoha**
Not just the art.
**[09:14] Konoha**
The story! The music!
**[09:17] Konoha**
There are so, so many things I want to do!
**[09:20] Konoha**
I almost feel like I'm gonna burst!
**[09:22] Konoha**
So cute it makes you
scream, like *To Heart 2*!
**[09:26] Konoha**
Makes you bawl your eyes out, like *Air*!
**[09:28] Konoha**
With hot-blooded action, like *Fate*!
**[09:31] Konoha**
That you can keep on replaying
over and over, like *Rance*!
**[09:34] Konoha**
Packed to the brim with
the sexiest characters!
**[09:36] Konoha**
That's the awesome, wonderful
game that I want to make!
**[09:40] Konoha**
I swear that I won't disappear!
**[09:49] Kaori**
Great!
**[09:50] Kaori**
Then I'll give it my all as well!
**[09:53] Kaori**
Is that okay, Mei-chan?
**[09:54] Kaori**
If I make Kono-chan the
main artist this time?
**[09:56] Meiko**
I want to see it, too!
**[09:58] Meiko**
Kono-chan's game!
**[10:00] Kaori**
What about the rest of you?
**[10:01] Group**
We're in!
**[10:08] Konoha**
I'll do my best!
**[10:10] Meiko**
We're counting on you, Kono-chan!
**[10:11] Konoha**
Yes!
**[10:12] Group**
Let's work hard!
**[10:13] Kaori**
All right, everyone!
**[10:14] Kaori**
Let's work hard for that one billion yen!

Do you understand how I feel?!
**[10:35] Kaori**
There's no way I'd understand.
**[10:37] Kaori**
I've never been conned while refusing
to give my employees a raise.
**[10:43] Meiko**
Don't say that, Kao-san!
**[10:45] Kaori**
Everyone's already moved on
and gone back to working!
**[10:48] Kaori**
You need to work your
butt off, too, Manager!
**[10:50] Kaori**
This next game is going
to cost a lot to make,
**[10:52] Kaori**
so let's talk budget!

**[11:20] Kyonshi**
Hey, who are *they*?
**[11:23] Konoha**
The heroines!
**[11:24] Kyonshi**
What? All of them?
**[11:25] Konoha**
Yes!
**[11:26] Konoha**
I'm confident that they're all cute designs!
**[11:28] Kyonshi**
I-I see.
**[11:30] Kyonshi**
Let me have a look.
**[11:33] Konoha**
Wh-What do you think?
**[11:34] Kyonshi**
I admit that they're good character designs.
**[11:37] Konoha**
Don't you just want to flirt
it up with all of them?
**[11:41] Group**
Yeah, yeah!
**[11:42] Konoha**
Heck yes!
**[11:44] Kyonshi**
But that'll really drag out the length.
**[11:46] Konoha**
That's fine!
**[11:48] Konoha**
That just means more time to show
off how cute the heroines are!
**[11:52] Kyonshi**
With so many heroines,
**[11:54] Kyonshi**
it's gonna require multiple times
the text of a normal game.
**[11:57] Konoha**
In that case, I can cut down
on some of the heroines...
**[12:02] Kikiko**
Is there any need to cut down here?
**[12:04] Lalako**
Nope, nope!
**[12:06] Kyonshi**
Huh?
**[12:06] Kikiko**
These heroines are all cute
and shining with life!
**[12:10] Lalako**
So we should pile on the
game with *all* of them!
**[12:14] Kyonshi**
I guess if these heroines all
suddenly showed up at once,
**[12:18] Kyonshi**
it'd make for one hell of a
fun time in school with them.
**[12:22] Kyonshi**
But won't it be too long
and bore the player?
**[12:24] Konoha**
It's the other way around!
**[12:25] Konoha**
If you have a story that makes them
want to stay in this world forever,
**[12:28] Konoha**
they'll never end up getting bored!

**[13:09] Kyonshi**
Hey.
**[13:10] Konoha**
Y-Yes!
**[13:11] Kyonshi**
You talked me into this.
**[13:14] Kyonshi**
So it's your responsibility.
**[13:16] Konoha**
Yes!
**[13:17] Konoha**
Just leave it to me!
**[13:20] Yuki**
Animation for the character sprites?
**[13:22] Yuki**
Like blinking and lip flaps?
**[13:24] Konoha**
No, not just that.
**[13:26] Konoha**
Like this.
**[13:27] Minamizato**
Wh-What is this technology?!
**[13:30] Konoha**
Can you do something like this?
**[13:32] Konoha**
If we can pull this off, the
result will be even cuter!
**[13:35] Kamiyama**
That's asking for way too much!
**[13:36] Kamiyama**
You'd need an animation
studio to pull this off...
**[13:39] Konoha**
Please, I'm begging you!
**[13:41] Mamoru**
Hey!
**[13:43] Mamoru**
Will something like this work?
**[13:45] Konoha**
Whoa!
**[13:46] Konoha**
She's really moving!
**[13:48] Kamiyama**
Th-That's amazing!
**[13:49] Konoha**
H-How'd you pull it off, Mamoru-kun?!
**[13:51] Mamoru**
Nothing is impossible for

**[13:55] Minamizato**
Konoha-chan.
**[13:57] Minamizato**
We'll try doing what we can as well.
**[14:02] Hashimoto**
A body pillow?
**[14:05] Konoha**
That's right!
**[14:06] Konoha**
I'd like to add a body pillow

What? Illustrations already?
**[14:18] Konoha**
Yes!
**[14:19] Konoha**
During my breaks from work!
**[14:20] Hashimoto**
Wouldn't that be work?
**[14:22] Hashimoto**
No, that's all well and fine...
**[14:25] Hashimoto**
Is there anyone who would
buy such expensive merch?
**[14:28] Hashimoto**
It would end up costing quite a bit.
**[14:30] Hashimoto**
Phonecards are the mainstream
lately for bonuses.
**[14:33] Hashimoto**
Would that not suffice?
**[14:36] Konoha**
Phonecards are a must as well,
**[14:37] Konoha**
but otaku want lots of bonuses
for characters they like!
**[14:41] Konoha**
Body pillows, tapestries,
acrylic stands, art books,
**[14:45] Konoha**
illustration boards, soundtrack
CDs, drama CDs, sleeping voice CDs,
**[14:48] Konoha**
phonecards, trading cards,
life-size cutouts!
**[14:51] Hashimoto**
Is that "Jugemu"?
**[14:53] Hashimoto**
But if you add these expensive items,
will anyone even buy the game?
**[14:56] Konoha**
They will!
**[14:57] Konoha**
I know *I* would!
**[14:58] Konoha**
I mean, it's all cute!
**[15:05] Konoha**

**[15:06] Hashimoto**
I thought you were in the hospital.
**[15:11] Kaori**

I-I'm not sure...
***SIGN*** Alcohol Soft Building 5F

**[15:16] Kaori**
The manager got an envelope addressed to him,
**[15:19] Kaori**
with a key and a marked map inside.
**[15:22] Kaori**
We found a bag inside a locker
at the marked location.
**[15:26] Kaori**
And then the manager grabbed
it and suddenly ran off...
**[15:31] Manager**
It's money.
**[15:33] Manager**
There's money in this bag!
**[15:36] Kaori**
Where'd you get *that* idea?
**[15:38] Manager**
This envelope!
**[15:40] Manager**
This is Ichigaya's handwriting!
***SIGN*** Alcohol Soft Building 5F

**[15:42] Manager**
This message, "Lock for Rock"...
**[15:44] Manager**
"Lock" here refers to the key for
the locker with the bag inside!
**[15:48] Manager**
"Rock" is for Rokuta, my name!
**[15:51] Manager**
In other words, right before
Ichigaya was arrested,
**[15:54] Manager**
he left the one billion yen in
this bag, to give it back to me!
**[15:58] Manager**
Ichigaya hadn't tricked me after all!
**[16:01] Kaori**
There's no way everything
would work out like that.
**[16:04] Manager**
Shut up!
**[16:06] Manager**
Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up!
**[16:08] Meiko**
Manager!
**[16:09] Meiko**
Please calm yourself!
**[16:11] Mamoru**
Everyone, let's get back to work.
**[16:14] Manager**
Thank goodness...
**[16:15] Manager**

**[17:01] Kaori**
Looks like you were right.
**[17:04] Kaori**
Ichigaya really did love our game,
**[17:07] Kaori**
and was trying to get a
console version made.
**[17:10] Kaori**
He returned them to us in secret,
**[17:13] Kaori**
so they wouldn't be lost,
even if he was arrested.
**[17:16] Kaori**
For your sake, as well as all of ours.
**[17:18] Kaori**
Well, I mean, he was as rotten as it gets...

*His assistant, Echo Two,*
**[10:11] Mamoru**
*always wears weird clothes and asks me
to give her a score on how cute she is.*
**[10:16] Echo Two**
Mamoru-kun!
**[10:17] Echo Two**
How many points do I get today?
**[10:20] Mamoru**
*I don't really get it, so I
just make up random numbers.*
**[10:23] Mamoru**
*Apparently this is also part of my job.*
**[10:53] Mamoru**
Maybe I can just stay here...
**[10:58] Mamoru**
Guess not.
***SIGN*** Imagination
**[11:09] Mamoru**
Do you really need this many TVs to watch?
**[11:12] Mamoru**
One should be more than enough.
**[11:14] Mamoru**
It's all just the same program.
**[11:15] Echo One**
Do they look the same to you?
**[11:18] Echo One**
To me, they all look quite different.
**[11:28] Echo One**
An utter failure, it seems.
**[11:33] Mamoru**
What's this?
**[11:35] Echo One**
This is a device to measure
the energy that a game has.
***SIGN*** Gogo no Tenshi-tachi
**[11:38] Echo One**
An interesting game contains lots of energy.
**[11:43] Mamoru**
Huh...
**[11:45] Mamoru**
What an odd device.
**[11:46] Echo One**
The games that I make are
completely devoid of energy.
**[11:51] Mamoru**
Well, I don't know whether
fun translates into energy,
**[11:56] Mamoru**
but I can't tell from the design of
the box that it would be any fun.
***SIGN*** Echosoft Bishojo
Game vol. 39
**[12:00] Echo One**
Is that something that you imagine?
**[12:02] Mamoru**
How can you *not* imagine it?
**[12:04] Echo One**
I don't have the power to imagine anything.
**[12:07] Echo One**
I came from a place where
imagination doesn't exist.
**[12:10] Echo One**
Therefore, I don't understand it.
**[12:13] Echo One**
Every time, my calculations are correct,
**[12:15] Echo One**
but when I actually create a game,
**[12:17] Echo One**
it doesn't have any of the thermal
power that I'd expected.
**[12:21] Echo One**
To learn about this thing
called imagination...
**[12:24] Echo One**
That's why I'm creating these games.
***SIGN*** Neat & Tidy
**[12:31] Echo Two**
Mamoru-kun!
**[12:33] Mamoru**
Hm?
**[12:34] Echo Two**
How many points do I get today?
**[12:41] Mamoru**
*I was surprised at the idea of anyone in the
world completely lacking an imagination,*
**[12:45] Mamoru**
*but teaching someone what imagination
was turned out to be fairly difficult.*
**[12:55] Mamoru**
It doesn't make any sense
to not have an imagination.
**[12:58] Mamoru**
You know what a donut tastes like, right?
**[13:01] Echo One**
For the ones that I've eaten, I do.
**[13:04] Mamoru**
These two donuts taste basically the same.
**[13:07] Mamoru**
Knowing that, you should be able
to imagine how this one tastes.
**[13:11] Echo One**
That's not imagination.
**[13:13] Echo One**
It's reasoning based on experience.
**[13:15] Mamoru**
No, that's not my point.
**[13:17] Mamoru**
Um...
**[13:19] Mamoru**
Now *I'm* getting confused here...
**[13:22] Echo One**
Mamoru-san.
**[13:24] Echo One**
Your kind have the ability to feel
that something is interesting.
**[13:28] Echo One**
You can sense how other people
feel, as if it was yourself.
***SIGN*** Imagination
**[13:32] Echo One**
In other words, that's imagination.
**[13:35] Mamoru**
You can explain it to me,
but not understand it yourself?
**[13:39] Echo One**
This is nothing more than analysis.
**[13:42] Echo One**
I wasn't using my imagination.
**[13:44] Mamoru**
Hmm...
**[13:50] Mamoru**
Imagination.
**[13:53] Mamoru**
What *is* imagination?
**[13:59] Mamoru**
*One day, Echo Two disappeared.*
**[14:02] Mamoru**
*And a full week passed without her return.*
**[14:11] Mamoru**
Two's been missing for a while.
**[14:13] Echo One**
You're right.
**[14:14] Mamoru**
Is that all you have to say?
**[14:16] Mamoru**
Aren't you worried about her?!
**[14:17] Echo One**
Worried?
**[14:18] Echo One**
What is that?
**[14:20] Mamoru**
She vanished under unnatural circumstances.
**[14:22] Mamoru**
What if she's in danger right now?
**[14:24] Echo One**
Echo's just fine.
**[14:27] Echo One**
There's zero risk of her being in danger.
**[14:30] Mamoru**
Is she really okay?
**[14:32] Echo One**
Yes.
**[14:33] Echo One**
That said, it sure is inconvenient
without her around.
**[14:39] Mamoru**
I'm going to go look for Two.
***SIGN*** Echosoft Bishojo Game
**[14:56] Echo One**
I wonder what kind of games
Mamoru-san finds interesting.
**[15:09] Mamoru**
Where have you been?
**[15:11] Echo Two**
Mamoru-kun!
**[15:13] Echo Two**
What are *you* doing here?
**[15:15] Mamoru**
Don't give me that.
**[15:16] Mamoru**
You didn't come back,
so I came looking for you.
**[15:18] Echo Two**
Why?
**[15:20] Mamoru**
Why, you ask...
**[15:23] Mamoru**
Well, I guess it's no big deal
since I ran into you here,
**[15:26] Mamoru**
but of course I'd be worried, after you went
missing for a week without a word!
**[15:31] Echo Two**
Worried?
**[15:32] Echo Two**
What does "worried" mean?!
**[15:35] Mamoru**
What have you been up to over the past week?
**[15:38] Echo Two**
I went on a walk with Echo!
**[15:41] Mamoru**
That's one hell of a trek.
**[15:44] Mamoru**
Okay, I'm heading back.
**[15:58] Echo Two**
Mamoru-kun!
**[15:59] Echo Two**
I'll go back with you!
**[16:20] Echo Two**
Mamoru-kun!
**[16:21] Echo Two**
How many points do I get today?
**[16:45] Echo Two**
Akerue!
**[16:46] Mamoru**
Huh?
**[16:47] Echo Two**
Akerue!
**[17:04] Echo Two**
Sensei.
**[17:06] Echo Two**
I understand what imagination is now.
**[17:10] Echo One**
What is it, then?
**[17:12] Echo Two**
I can't explain it.
**[17:14] Echo Two**
I don't have any way of
putting it into words.
**[17:17] Echo One**
Is that so?
**[17:18] Echo One**
Perhaps I've come to an
understanding of sorts as well.
**[17:24] Echo Two**
Let us merge into one.
***SIGN*** Please come up to the rooftop
**[17:49] Mamoru**
Were there always this many stairs?
**[17:56] Echo One**
Up here, Mamoru-san.
**[18:09] Echo One**
Hello, Mamoru-san.
**[18:11] Mamoru**
What's with the get-up?
**[18:14] Echo One**
I was performing maintenance on the device.
**[18:17] Echo One**
You can see all of Akihabara up here.
**[18:19] Mamoru**
Did this building always go up this high?
**[18:24] Echo One**
Mamoru-san.
**[18:25] Echo One**
What do you think about this town?
**[18:29] Mamoru**
Compared to '99, it's not as bright.
**[18:33] Echo One**
I can see it.
**[18:39] Echo One**
The abundance of energy
gathering in this town.
**[18:44] Echo One**
In time, this will become a place
where anything is possible.
**[18:47] Echo One**
That's the future that awaits this town.
**[18:50] Echo One**
This isn't reasoning based
on my observations.
**[18:54] Echo One**
It's what I imagine.
**[18:56] Mamoru**
You gained the power to imagine things?
**[19:01] Echo One**
Mamoru-san.
**[19:02] Echo One**
What do you think about the
human power of imagination?
**[19:06] Mamoru**
Beats me. I'm an engineer.
**[19:09] Mamoru**
I let people like Konoha or Kyonshi
deal with cultural ideas like that.
**[19:14] Echo One**
A world where fantastic
monsters roam freely.
**[19:18] Echo One**
A paradise floating in the sky.
**[19:20] Echo One**
The dead rising from their graves.
**[19:21] Echo One**
A place that exists nowhere.
**[19:24] Echo One**
The power to recall things that
don't exist, and give them form.
**[19:29] Echo One**
All humans have the power to
create things of that nature,
**[19:32] Echo One**
as well as to experience them.
**[19:36] Echo One**
Perhaps that's what makes them human.
**[19:39] Echo One**
Don't you think?
**[19:41] Echo One**
The games that we created,
**[19:43] Echo One**
along with manga, novels, movies,
**[19:46] Echo One**
countless tales dating
back to ancient times,
**[19:50] Echo One**
not to mention religions,
nations, communities,
**[19:54] Echo One**
dreams, hopes, and despair.
**[19:56] Echo One**
All of these are concepts created
through a shared imagination.
**[20:02] Mamoru**
You can't just explain every
single thing with imagination!
**[20:05] Mamoru**
Sounds like *you're* the one
imagining things now.
**[20:08] Echo One**
I know that you're well aware, Mamoru-san.
**[20:10] Echo One**
Of the energy that gathers when
imagination is unleashed.
**[20:15] Echo One**
You should have experienced
it not too long ago.
**[20:19] Echo One**
Isn't that right?
**[20:27] Mamoru**
An earthquake?
**[20:28] Echo Three**
An exceedingly rare kind of lifeform.
**[20:31] Group**
Through their imagination, humans
become multidimensional beings,
**[20:36] Echo Two**
and access present, past, future...
**[20:40] Echo Two**
Different space-times, different events...
**[20:43] Echo Two**
Gaining massive energy from
quantum possibilities.
**[20:50] Echo One**
Upheld by thermodynamics as well.
**[20:55] Mamoru**
You people...
**[20:56] Mamoru**
What exactly *are* you?
**[20:58] Echo Three**
Your kind are the future.
**[21:01] Echo Two**
As well as the past.
**[21:02] Echo One**
And the present.
**[21:05] Echo One**
Imagination has the power to
alter both time and space.
**[21:09] Echo One**
Imagination is what defines reality.
**[21:15] Echo One**
I'm a supporter of the
games that you all have made.
**[21:25] Echo One**
I know we'll meet again someday.

**[07:08] Meiko**
Kono-chan.
**[07:14] Meiko**
You know.
**[07:15] Meiko**
I used to be a bit ashamed
about making bishojo games.
**[07:19] Konoha**
What?!
**[07:20] Meiko**
I mean, a woman drawing cute
girls... and hentai at that.
**[07:25] Meiko**
Isn't that a little weird?
**[07:28] Konoha**
That's not true!
**[07:29] Meiko**
But now I realize that none of
that matters at all.
**[07:35] Meiko**
After all...
**[07:36] Meiko**
Right now, I just want
everyone to play our game!
**[07:42] Meiko**
I know for sure that this game is fun!
**[07:47] Meiko**
We all drew art for it,
**[07:49] Meiko**
painted it together,
**[07:51] Meiko**
and contributed to the story,
the voices, and the audio.
**[07:55] Meiko**
We brought it all together.
**[07:58] Meiko**
All of you took away a little piece
of the shame that I was feeling.
**[08:03] Meiko**
Which is why...
**[08:04] Meiko**
Now, I want everyone to see!
**[08:07] Meiko**
I want people all over the
world to play our game!
**[08:10] Konoha**
Th-The world?!
**[08:12] Meiko**
M-Maybe that's a little much to ask for...
**[08:16] Konoha**
No!
**[08:17] Konoha**

**[09:07] Kyonshi**

Okay!
**[09:26] Manager**
Off to the next location! Let's go!
**[09:29] Group**
Yeah!
**[09:31] Manager**
Oh, it's snowing!
**[09:34] Kaori**
No wonder it's so cold.
**[09:36] Group**
Yay! Snow! Snow!
**[09:43] Toya**
Onee-sama!
**[09:48] Konoha**
Toya-chan!
**[09:50] Toya**
What are you doing out here so late?
**[09:53] Toya**
Oh, the Dejiko building!
**[09:56] Toya**
It really is incredible!
**[09:58] Konoha**
Yeah, it is!
**[09:59] Toya**
Onee-sama, we're about to
enter the age of bishojo.
**[10:03] Toya**
Just like you said.
**[10:05] Konoha**
Yeah! It'll happen for sure!
**[10:09] Toya**
By the way, Onee-sama.
**[10:11] Toya**
I see that you were making
a bishojo game, too.
**[10:15] Toya**
With the people over there.
**[10:18] Toya**
Those are the Alcohol
Soft folks, aren't they?
**[10:21] Konoha**
Th-That's right.
**[10:23] Konoha**
Until now, I was just doing
part-time work for them.
**[10:30] Toya**
Onee-sama, I'm going to
start up a new company!
**[10:35] Konoha**
What?!
**[10:36] Toya**
A company to develop games worthy
of the era that is coming.
**[10:40] Toya**
I wanted to be the one to
start it from scratch.
**[10:43] Konoha**
Really?!
**[10:44] Konoha**
That's amazing!
**[10:45] Toya**
Yes...
**[10:48] Toya**
And, well...
**[10:52] Toya**
Onee-sama, won't you join me...
**[10:56] Toya**
Won't you join me and make games together?!
**[11:00] Konoha**
What?!
**[11:01] Toya**
Ever since the day we met in Akiba,
**[11:03] Toya**
I've been following in your
footsteps the whole time!
**[11:07] Toya**
If I could make games with you by my side...
**[11:10] Toya**
That would make me so happy!
**[11:13] Konoha**
What?
**[11:14] Konoha**
D-Don't look at me like that...
**[11:17] Konoha**
I-I don't deserve such praise!
**[11:20] Toya**
Onee-sama!
**[11:21] Toya**
I'm begging you!
**[11:26] Konoha**
Yeah, sure!
**[11:29] Konoha**
But now's probably not the time.
**[11:32] Toya**
What?
**[11:33] Konoha**
I'm not sure how long I can stay here.
**[11:38] Toya**
Do you mean you're going on
a trip, or moving somewhere?
**[11:42] Konoha**
Hmm, I'm not sure how to explain it.
**[11:45] Konoha**
But, that being said,
**[11:47] Konoha**
the next time we meet,
let's talk about games!
**[11:50] Konoha**
We can make games together,
**[11:52] Konoha**
or I'm fine with just
eating at Jangara Ramen!
**[11:56] Konoha**
The two of us share a bond
through bishojo games!
**[12:03] Toya**
Yes, Onee-sama!
**[12:05] Kaori**
Kono-chan!
**[12:07] Kaori**
We're about to go for some more drinks!
**[12:09] Kaori**
Wanna join us?!
**[12:12] Konoha**
I'm going to go back to the office!
**[12:15] Konoha**
Okay, Toya-chan.
**[12:17] Konoha**
See you later!
**[12:26] Toya**
Yes, Onee-sama!
**[12:37] Mamoru**
Found it.

**[12:41] Afro Employee**
A discerning eye, I see.
**[12:43] Afro Employee**
Isn't it amazing?
**[12:45] Afro Employee**
A truly cult video game:
**[12:47] Afro Employee**
Echosoft's *Welcome to the Game House!*
**[12:51] Afro Employee**
A mysterious company that
disappeared after that one title.
**[12:54] Afro Employee**
The game itself is utterly incoherent,
but it's one of a kind!
**[12:57] Afro Employee**
Surely you've heard the name, at least.
**[12:59] Afro Employee**
I hear they were up to some real shady
business and caught the eye of the police!
**[13:04] Mamoru**
Hm? The police?
**[13:06] Afro Employee**
You don't know?
**[13:07] Afro Employee**
I heard it on the grapevine.
**[13:09] Afro Employee**
You could say it's a bit
like the *Saori* incident.
**[13:12] Afro Employee**
Or they say the parent company
was, well, you know...
**[13:16] Mamoru**
You could say that about the
people in question, I suppose.

Huh?
**[13:20] Mamoru**
No, it's nothing.

*Echosoft...*
**[13:27] Mamoru**
*I really did travel back in time.*
**[13:30] Mamoru**
*It wasn't a dream or a hallucination.*
**[13:34] Mamoru**
*The games that Konoha got from
that used video game store...*
**[13:37] Mamoru**
*Using those, Konoha, as well as
I, were sent back in time.*
**[13:42] Mamoru**
*Could it be that those games were
altered by Echo in some way?*
**[13:48] (Flashback) Konoha**
The games went up in flames?
**[13:50] (Flashback) Konoha**
But why?
**[13:51] (Flashback) Mamoru**
I don't know.
**[13:53] (Flashback) Mamoru**
This was the only one left.

Comic Party
**[13:58] Mamoru**
*All the games that Konoha had burned away.*

**[14:20] Mamoru**
*Was that game actually

**[14:28] Konoha**
Mamoru-kun!
**[14:36] Konoha**
I-I thought you were at the office!
**[14:38] Mamoru**
What's wrong?
**[14:41] Konoha**
Here you go!
**[14:43] Konoha**
The food from the drinking party!
**[14:44] Konoha**
I had them pack it up!
**[14:45] Konoha**
This is your share!
**[14:51] Mamoru**
I'm not hungry.
**[14:53] Konoha**
What?!
**[14:56] Mamoru**
In the end, you didn't disappear on us.
**[14:59] Konoha**
Of course not!
**[15:01] Konoha**
I can't just vanish in the
middle of making our game!
**[15:04] Konoha**
Man, I sure am glad I didn't get sent back!
**[15:11] Mamoru**
It might be that your desire to make the
game is what let you stay here in this era.
**[15:19] Konoha**
How exactly would that work?
**[15:21] Mamoru**
I don't know about the
mechanics or anything.
**[15:23] Mamoru**
I just thought that's how it might work.
**[15:27] Konoha**
Does that mean I might vanish at any time?
**[15:32] Mamoru**
Maybe so.
**[15:34] Mamoru**
Or maybe you'll still be here next year.
**[15:36] Konoha**
Well, since I don't know when I'll
vanish, I'll just tell you now!
**[15:41] Konoha**
Mamoru-kun!
**[15:42] Mamoru**
What is it?
**[15:43] Konoha**
It was awesome getting to
make a game with everyone!
**[15:47] Konoha**
Really, really, *really* awesome!
**[15:50] Konoha**
I love everyone at Alcohol Soft!
**[15:53] Konoha**
This is exactly what I was
hoping to get a taste of!
**[15:57] Konoha**
And if you weren't here, I wouldn't have
been able to make such an amazing game.
**[16:03] Konoha**
Thank you so—
**[16:04] Mamoru**
Ah, you can spare me all of that.
**[16:07] Mamoru**
You're kind of grossing me out.
**[16:08] Konoha**
G-Grossing you out?!
**[16:11] Konoha**
Hey!
**[16:12] Konoha**
I'm trying to thank you honestly here!
**[16:16] Mamoru**
I didn't do any of this for you.
**[16:19] Mamoru**
It just happened to benefit both of us.
**[16:22] Konoha**
Sheesh, I really wish you'd drop the
emotionless act at times like this.
**[16:27] Konoha**
Well, we still don't know for sure.
**[16:29] Konoha**
I may be satisfied, but it still
needs to make one billion yen.
**[16:33] Mamoru**
Don't you worry.
**[16:35] Mamoru**
That game will sell.
**[16:36] Konoha**
Huh?
**[16:39] Mamoru**
It'll be a hit for sure.
**[16:41] Mamoru**
That game has enough energy
to accomplish that much.
**[16:46] Mamoru**
Eroge still holds so much possibility.
**[16:48] Mamoru**
It's a barren world out there.
**[16:50] Mamoru**
And now a game with this
much passion shows up.
**[16:53] Mamoru**
There's no way it wouldn't sell.
**[16:55] Mamoru**
It's exactly what everyone
has been waiting for.
**[16:59] Konoha**
You think?!
**[17:01] Mamoru**
Forget paying back one billion yen.
**[17:03] Mamoru**
I'm more worried that the money will
end up driving Dad crazy again.
**[17:12] Mamoru**
You sure do have energy to spare.
**[17:13] Konoha**
Huh?
**[17:15] Mamoru**
It's people like you who make
their own dreams come true.
**[17:19] Mamoru**
I don't have the power that you do.
**[17:21] Konoha**
That's not true at all!
**[17:23] Konoha**
This game, as well as all the previous
ones, got made because of you!
**[17:28] Konoha**
I know that you can accomplish
way bigger things than I can!
**[17:32] Mamoru**
I'm not so sure.
**[17:34] Konoha**
Don't you have any dreams?
**[17:36] Mamoru**
Not really.
**[17:38] Mamoru**
As long as the PC-98 conquers the
world, I don't need anything else.
**[17:42] Konoha**
I-I'd say that's a pretty
big dream already...
**[17:45] Mamoru**
I just don't want anything to change.
**[17:50] Mamoru**
This town, the PC-98...
**[17:52] Mamoru**
I want them all to stay the same.
**[17:54] Mamoru**
But people and places change
at a terrifying rate.
**[17:59] Mamoru**
And no one can stop it.
**[18:01] Mamoru**
But this time around, Alcohol
Soft will probably survive.
**[18:08] Mamoru**
Thanks to you, that is.
**[18:13] Konoha**
Mamoru-kun!
**[18:14] Konoha**
Look, it's snowing!
**[18:16] Mamoru**
It sure is.
**[18:18] Mamoru**
Let's hurry on back before you catch a cold.
**[18:24] Konoha**
Mamoru-kun, look!
**[18:25] Konoha**
There, up in the sky!
**[18:27] Mamoru**
Huh?
**[19:10] Konoha**
I'm back here...
**[19:14] Konoha**
The food...
**[19:16] Konoha**
I didn't get a chance to give it to him.
**[19:18] Konoha**
Well, nothing I can do about that...
**[19:22] Konoha**
Yeah!
**[19:24] Konoha**
I'm done time traveling!
**[19:26] Konoha**
Now I'll do my best here in this world!
**[19:30] Konoha**
Back to being an employee at Blue Bell, huh?
**[19:34] Konoha**
But I've grown during my adventures,
and I'm a whole new person!
**[19:43] Konoha**
Huh?
**[19:44] Konoha**
What?
**[19:45] Konoha**
What?!
**[19:48] Konoha**
I'm in Akiba, aren't I?
**[19:51] Konoha**
Where's Animate?
**[19:53] Konoha**
Where's Donki?!
**[19:56] Konoha**
What?
**[20:01] Konoha**
I-I-I-Is this the Skytree?!
**[20:05] Konoha**
No, something's off!
**[20:09] Konoha**
Th-The layout is just like Akiba...
**[20:12] Konoha**
But still!
**[20:14] Konoha**
Where *am* I?
**[20:25] Konoha**
Akihabara...
**[20:27] Konoha**
Is this really Akiba?
**[20:31] Konoha**
What's going on?!
**[20:39] Konoha**
Wh-What was that?!
**[20:46] Konoha**
This building...
**[20:54] Konoha**
Radio Kaikan!
**[20:57] Construction Manager**
Hey!
**[20:59] Construction Manager**
You there, missy!
**[21:01] Construction Manager**
It's dangerous!
**[21:02] Construction Manager**
Please don't get any closer!
**[21:04] Konoha**
I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
**[21:07] Konoha**
B-But...
**[21:08] Konoha**
This is the only place left
of the Akiba I remember...
**[21:11] Konoha**
My dear Akiba!
**[21:13] Construction Manager**
I'll call the cops on you!
**[21:16] Mamoru**
What is it?
**[21:17] Construction Manager**
Ah!
**[21:17] Construction Manager**
It seems that she wandered in here...
**[21:21] Mamoru**
Leave her to me.
**[21:22] Mamoru**
If you could return to your work.
**[21:24] Construction Manager**
R-Right...
**[21:36] Mamoru**
It's been a while.
**[21:39] Konoha**
A while?
**[21:41] Konoha**
What?!
**[21:43] Konoha**
C-C-C-Could it be...
**[21:46] Konoha**
Could it be that you're Mamoru-kun?!
**[21:50] Konoha**
Mamoru-kun...
**[21:54] Konoha**
Mamoru-kun's...
**[21:56] Konoha**

Are you awake?
**[00:08] Konoha**
Who's there?
**[00:09] Konoha**
Is that Mamoru-kun's voice?
**[00:12] Mamoru**
Sounds like you're fine.
**[00:13] Mamoru**
Guess we won't need a doctor.
**[00:17] Konoha**
I had the weirdest dream.
**[00:21] Konoha**
I came back to the year 2023, and then a
wrecking ball smashed into Radio Kaikan...
**[00:26] Konoha**
After that, I ran into
Mamoru-kun as an old man.
**[00:30] Konoha**
And in a slightly different
way from the manager...
**[00:35] Mamoru**
Hey!
**[00:35] Mamoru**
What are you mumbling about?
**[00:37] Mamoru**
If you're fine, then get up.
**[00:41] Konoha**
Y-You're still old!
**[00:44] Mamoru**

**[00:45] Konoha**
O-Old... Old man...
**[00:48] Mamoru**
Be quiet for a minute.
**[00:50] Mamoru**
Computer, call Matsubara-san.
**[00:52] Computer**
Right away.
**[00:54] Matsubara**
*Yes, Matsubara speaking.*
**[00:56] Mamoru**
Rokuta here.
**[00:57] Matsubara**
*Good evening, President.*
**[00:59] Mamoru**
I'm sorry, but please move the rest
of my appointments and meetings
**[01:02] Mamoru**
to tomorrow at the earliest.
**[01:04] Mamoru**
Some urgent business came up.
**[01:06] Matsubara**
*Understood.*
**[01:07] Matsubara**
* I'll be sending over your*

**[01:11] Mamoru**
Thank you very much.
**[01:12] Matsubara**
*Take care now.*
**[01:15] Mamoru**
It's been twenty years. No, longer?
**[01:18] Mamoru**
You haven't shown your face for a while now.
**[01:20] Mamoru**
Why did you travel back in time again?
**[01:23] Konoha**
I-I didn't!
**[01:24] Konoha**
I didn't travel back in time!
**[01:27] Konoha**
This is the era I came from!
**[01:29] Konoha**
2023 is the year I was in originally!
**[01:32] Konoha**
But after making my way back from 1999,
**[01:36] Konoha**
the Akiba I know is nowhere to be found!
**[01:38] Konoha**
No concept cafés or
people handing out flyers,
**[01:41] Konoha**
and not an otaku in sight!
**[01:42] Konoha**
There's nothing that I recognize!
**[01:45] Mamoru**
I'm not sure I understand,
**[01:46] Mamoru**
but otaku-related stuff disappeared
from this town ages ago.
**[01:50] Konoha**
What?
**[01:51] Mamoru**
Akiba's been a high-end residential
area for the past several years.
**[01:54] Mamoru**
Redevelopment plans have
led to high-rise apartments
**[01:56] Mamoru**
and office buildings being
built left and right.
**[01:58] Konoha**
S-So you're telling me all of it is gone?
**[02:01] Konoha**
Akiba doesn't have any otaku,
games, or bishojo left?!
**[02:05] Mamoru**
Bishojo are still here, aren't they?
**[02:07] Konoha**
Huh?
**[02:10] Mamoru**
Look, the building over there.
**[02:13] Konoha**

The electric town disappeared,
and the radio tower took its place.
**[04:33] Mamoru**
Right now, they're in the middle
of building a stadium here.
**[04:36] Konoha**
What about shops aimed at otaku?
**[04:37] Konoha**
Where do you buy games and doujinshi?
**[04:41] Mamoru**
All the shops that sell
those are in Ikebukuro now.
**[04:44] Mamoru**
If you want to find otaku, you'll
need to go to Ikebukuro or Shibuya.
**[04:48] Konoha**
What about arcades?
**[04:49] Mamoru**
Nope.
**[04:50] Konoha**
Maid cafés?
**[04:52] Mamoru**
Nope.
**[04:52] Konoha**
Jangara?!
**[04:53] Mamoru**
Inside the train station.
**[04:54] Konoha**
Kebabs!
**[04:55] Mamoru**
Go to Ueno instead.
**[04:56] Konoha**
C-Canned oden?! Gachapon machines?!
**[05:00] Mamoru**
We're almost there.
**[05:11] Konoha**
M-Mamoru-kun.
**[05:13] Konoha**
What about Alcohol Soft?
**[05:15] Konoha**
What happened to Alcohol Soft?!
**[05:17] Mamoru**
Alcohol Soft is in the US now.
**[05:20] Konoha**
What?!
**[05:21] Konoha**
Wh-Why the US?
**[05:24] Mamoru**
The game that we created, *The Last
Waltz*, became a hit as I expected.
**[05:28] Mamoru**
No, it was more than I imagined.
**[05:30] Mamoru**
It got ported to consoles, and
adapted into a TV anime and drama.
**[05:34] Mamoru**
But that's not all.
**[05:35] Mamoru**
American corporations happened to take notice,
**[05:38] Mamoru**
and the game's development got moved there.
**[05:40] Mamoru**
W-Wow!
**[05:42] Mamoru**
Everyone except for me is in
the US now making games.
**[05:47] Mamoru**
And I don't mean just Alcohol Soft.
**[05:49] Mamoru**
There's also Elf, Aquaplus,
Type-Moon, Nitroplus...
**[05:53] Mamoru**
The Chiyoda Ward Alliance,
or Chiyoren, is now the LAA.
**[05:57] Konoha**
LAA?
**[05:59] Mamoru**
The Los Angeles Alliance.
**[06:01] Mamoru**
The big names are all in America now.
**[06:03] Mamoru**
It's easier to raise big capital over there.
**[06:06] Mamoru**
Nowadays, the bishojo of the world
come from the US west coast.
**[06:11] Mamoru**
Alicesoft is just about the only
big player still left in Japan.
**[06:16] Konoha**
S-So are you saying this is
what bishojo look like now?!
**[06:19] Mamoru**
That's right.
**[06:21] Konoha**
Wh-Why did this happen?!
**[06:23] Konoha**
Wh-What happened to Japanese
bishojo games, then?
**[06:27] Mamoru**
Japanese bishojo...
**[06:29] Mamoru**
I guess you'd say they're
on the brink of extinction.
**[06:32] Konoha**
What?!
**[06:34] Mamoru**
They can't compete with the overwhelming
amount of bishojo from overseas.
**[06:37] Konoha**
Y-You can't call this bishojo!
**[06:41] Mamoru**
People argued about the same
thing about 15 years ago.
**[06:44] Mamoru**
But that debate has been settled.
**[06:47] Mamoru**
Times have changed.
**[06:49] Konoha**
These changes are news to me!
**[06:52] Konoha**
This must be a different world line!
**[06:54] Mamoru**
What the hell is a world line?
**[06:56] Konoha**
A world line is, well, you know!
**[06:59] Konoha**
Like in *Steins;Gate* or *YU-NO*—
**[07:00] Konoha**
*Wait... do those games
not exist in this world?*
**[07:08] Konoha**
I-I'm going back!
**[07:10] Konoha**
To the world I came from!
**[07:13] Mamoru**
What do you mean by that?!
**[07:15] Mamoru**
Hey!
**[07:20] Konoha**
Mamoru-kun, what do you do now?
**[07:23] Mamoru**
You're as restless as ever, I see.
**[07:25] Mamoru**
My job here is to supervise
American bishojo content.
**[07:30] Konoha**
Even though you're not in the US?
**[07:32] Mamoru**
I have a number of things left to do here.
**[07:36] Konoha**
Does that mean you don't make games anymore?
**[07:41] Mamoru**
No, I don't.
**[07:43] Konoha**
I see...
**[07:47] Konoha**
Hey, Mamoru-kun.
**[07:48] Konoha**
The food from back then...
**[07:51] Konoha**
No, never mind.
**[07:53] Konoha**
See you around, old man Mamoru-kun!
**[07:56] Konoha**
Thanks a lot for your help!

*My trip through time...*
**[09:41] Mamoru**
*That's right.*
**[09:42] Mamoru**
*After I went back in time, I returned
to the place where I was at that moment,*
**[09:47] Mamoru**
*as though a part was being drawn
to its original location.*
**[09:51] Mamoru**
*It should be the same system for Konoha.*
**[09:54] Mamoru**
*Which means...*
**[09:56] Mamoru**
*Konoha should have been dragged back*
**[09:58] Mamoru**
to the original location where
she began her time travel.
**[10:01] Mamoru**
*But if it worked like it does in the movies,*
**[10:04] Mamoru**
*and we're talking parallel worlds
or diverging timelines,*
**[10:08] Mamoru**
*Konoha should have returned to the

*But that's not what happened.*
**[10:17] Mamoru**
*Konoha ended up here, in this
world that's foreign to her.*
**[10:22] Mamoru**
*That doesn't make sense if
these are parallel worlds.*
**[10:25] Mamoru**
*In other words, what Konoha thinks
of as her original location...*
**[10:28] Mamoru**
*no longer exists.*
**[10:31] Mamoru**
*Konoha has...*
**[10:34] Mamoru**
*nowhere to go back to.*

How long are you going to keep crying?
**[14:31] Konoha**
I mean... I mean...
**[14:33] Konoha**
This is all my fault, isn't it?
**[14:37] Konoha**
None of the games I know
ended up coming out!
**[14:41] Konoha**
History changed because
we put out that game!
**[14:46] Konoha**
Akihabara and bishojo are both gone now!
**[14:49] Mamoru**
Hey, are you really still saying that?
**[14:52] Mamoru**
Thanks to your game, Alcohol
Soft didn't go under.
**[14:57] Mamoru**
In fact, it's wildly successful.
**[14:59] Mamoru**
Akihabara is developing greatly as well.
**[15:02] Mamoru**
Isn't that a good thing?
**[15:04] Mamoru**
Aren't you the one who told me back then?
**[15:07] Mamoru**
That it's okay to change history?
**[15:09] Konoha**
I did!
**[15:10] Konoha**
But I didn't know it'd turn out this way!
**[15:13] Konoha**
I was so stupid!
**[15:17] Mamoru**
It just means the game
we made was that good.
**[15:19] Konoha**
That's not it!
**[15:21] Konoha**
I mean, the only reason
I was able to make that game
**[15:23] Konoha**
was because of the amazing
games that existed!
**[15:26] Konoha**
All I did was use those games as an example!
**[15:29] Konoha**
But thanks to me, all of those
amazing games stopped existing!
**[15:42] Mamoru**
There's something I want to show you.
**[15:51] Mamoru**
This way.
**[15:52] Konoha**
Huh?
**[15:53] Konoha**
Wh-What *is* this place?!
**[15:59] Konoha**
Hey, M-Mamoru-kun!
**[16:03] Mamoru**
You said earlier that it's your
fault that history changed.
**[16:07] Mamoru**
So how are you going to take
responsibility for this?
**[16:13] Konoha**
What?!
**[16:16] Mamoru**
Do you know why I stayed
behind here in Akiba?
**[16:20] Mamoru**
It's all for the PC-98.
**[16:22] Mamoru**
I can't leave the PC-98
behind and go to America.
**[16:25] Mamoru**
And yet!
**[16:26] Mamoru**
No matter what I do, the
PC-98 remains obsolete!

The PC-98 really is so nice.
Obviously... great internals, but
the PC-98's design... great, the
sound is great, it smells great...
great, the back ports...
does its best to run programs...
Such a wonderful computer, yet...
In the shadows of human evolution,
the PC-98... In my next life, I want
to be a PC-98 and with my silicon...
and turn Akihabara
into Aki-98-bara...
**[16:31] Mamoru**
Creating doujinshi!
**[16:33] Mamoru**
I've tried everything, but the
PC-98 won't make a comeback!
**[16:36] Mamoru**
And all of it is *your* fault!
**[16:39] Konoha**
What?!
**[16:40] Mamoru**
Because you created this world, the
PC-98 has completely died out!
**[16:44] Konoha**
Huh?
**[16:45] Konoha**
Wait, no!
**[16:47] Mamoru**
You murdered the PC-98!
**[16:48] Mamoru**
I'm holding you responsible for it!
**[16:50] Konoha**
What?!
**[16:52] Konoha**
Th-That's totally unfair!
**[16:57] Mamoru**
You don't know what to say to that, right?
**[16:59] Konoha**
Huh?
**[17:01] Mamoru**
What I just said requires
some preposterous logic.
**[17:04] Mamoru**
But how do you know it wasn't your
fault that the PC-98 went obsolete?
**[17:09] Mamoru**
It could have been caused
by your game, couldn't it?
**[17:13] Mamoru**
Likewise, no one can say whether you
caused Akihabara and bishojo to decline.
**[17:20] Mamoru**
Listen up.
**[17:21] Mamoru**
You're just conveniently picking
out facts to feel guilty about.
**[17:25] Konoha**
That's not true!
**[17:27] Mamoru**
I'm saying that you don't
have to feel guilt over it.
**[17:30] Mamoru**
Everyone in this era took part in
deciding on this outcome.
**[17:34] Mamoru**
What you're doing now is
being just plain arrogant!
**[17:39] Mamoru**
Look.
**[17:41] Konoha**
Meiko-san.
**[17:43] Mamoru**
Meiko is now considered a living legend.
**[17:46] Mamoru**
And it began with that game of yours.
**[17:49] Mamoru**
Are you saying that was a mistake?
**[17:51] Mamoru**
Were the efforts of everyone
at Alcohol Soft a mistake?
**[17:57] Mamoru**
Or are you saying that you still
prefer your original world?
**[18:01] Mamoru**
Is the world you came from better than this?
**[18:05] Konoha**
It's not good at all.
**[18:08] Konoha**
Akiba is obscene, noisy, and a crowded mess.
**[18:13] Konoha**
In the summer, it's packed
with sweaty people.
**[18:16] Konoha**
It's totally chaotic, and
not a great place at all.
**[18:20] Konoha**
But that's what I liked about it!
**[18:23] Konoha**
It was a place for people
like me to have fun!
**[18:26] Konoha**
This squeaky clean Akiba
isn't the Akiba I know!
**[18:30] Konoha**
But in my short time here, after
wandering around Akiba, I can tell.
**[18:36] Konoha**
There are lots of people who
enjoy Akiba as it is now.
**[18:40] Konoha**
And...
**[18:42] Konoha**
I don't want to erase all of the work
that everyone at Alcohol Soft put in.
**[18:47] Konoha**
I want to go back to my world, but
I can't get rid of this one, either.
**[18:53] Konoha**
What should I do?
**[18:56] Mamoru**
I wasn't done talking.
**[19:01] Mamoru**
We're about to get down to business.
**[19:03] Mamoru**
Pay attention.
**[19:05] Mamoru**
I can't guarantee that what I'm
about to suggest will work out.
**[19:08] Mamoru**
But if it does, you might be
able to go back to your world.
**[19:12] Konoha**
What?!
**[19:13] Mamoru**
You used to carry those games
around with you, right?
**[19:17] Mamoru**
The ones from that used video game store.
**[19:20] Mamoru**
Do you still have them?
**[19:21] Konoha**
Huh?
**[19:22] Konoha**
Y-Yeah.
**[19:25] Konoha**
This is the only one that's left.
**[19:31] Mamoru**
*Comic Party*.
**[19:33] Mamoru**
A game from 1999.
**[19:36] Mamoru**
Okay!
**[19:37] Mamoru**
You're going to make another game.
**[19:40] Konoha**
Excuse me?
**[19:41] Mamoru**
And not just any ordinary game.
**[19:42] Mamoru**
A game that's fun enough to
stand against *The Last Waltz*,
**[19:46] Mamoru**
which we made back in '99.
**[19:47] Mamoru**
You'll take that game and go back
to 1999 one more time.
**[19:52] Mamoru**
And immediately after *The
Last Waltz* is released,
**[19:55] Mamoru**
you'll release this game from a
company other than Alcohol Soft,
**[19:58] Mamoru**
so it can compete as a rival game.
**[20:00] Mamoru**
By doing that, Alcohol Soft's
success will still exist,
**[20:04] Mamoru**
while preserving the course
of video games in Akiba.
**[20:07] Mamoru**
In other words,
**[20:08] Mamoru**
we'll create the course of events that leads
to the 2023 you know, here in this 2023.
**[20:13] Mamoru**
We'll bring both histories into
existence simultaneously!
**[20:16] Konoha**
What?!
**[20:17] Konoha**
I-Is that even possible?
**[20:19] Mamoru**
I don't know.
**[20:21] Mamoru**
Either way, it's impossible to perfectly
bring about the same future, even with this.
**[20:25] Mamoru**
However, we should be able to
preserve bishojo culture in Akiba.
**[20:30] Mamoru**
Now all that's needed is passion.
**[20:32] Mamoru**
As long as the passion is there, bishojo
games can continue to exist in Akiba.
**[20:36] Mamoru**
You're the one who needs
to create that passion.
**[20:39] Mamoru**
Make a game that's capable
of that much, one more time.
**[20:42] Konoha**
O-One more time...
**[20:45] Konoha**
There's only one of me!
**[20:46] Konoha**
You want to me to make a game
all by myself this time?
**[20:49] Mamoru**
I never said you had to do it alone.
**[20:51] Mamoru**
I'll be there to help you out.
**[20:54] Mamoru**
And that's not all.
**[20:57] Mamoru**
You have these to help you, too!
**[20:59] Konoha**
Huh? Ah...
**[21:03] Mamoru**
They can do anything
that you ask of them!
**[21:06] Mamoru**
These PC-98s, that is!
**[21:08] Mamoru**
Well?
**[21:10] Mamoru**
They're the most reliable
partners you could ask for!
**[21:18] Konoha**
You're amazing, Mamoru-kun!
**[21:20] Mamoru**
Huh?
**[21:21] Konoha**
You haven't changed a bit!
**[21:24] Konoha**
You may be an old man, but you
haven't changed, even a little!
**[21:28] Mamoru**
Of course not.
**[21:30] Mamoru**
Listen.
**[21:31] Mamoru**
The world hasn't changed
as much as you think.
**[21:33] Mamoru**
It just looks a little
different on the surface.
**[21:36] Mamoru**
And your job is to change
it just a little again.
**[21:38] Mamoru**
You can pull off that much, can't you?
**[21:40] Konoha**
Yeah.
**[21:42] Mamoru**
Now it's a matter of motivation.
**[21:44] Mamoru**
Do you still have some
motivation left in you?
**[21:47] Konoha**
Yeah!
**[21:51] Mamoru**
You're facing off against your past self.
**[21:54] Mamoru**
Can you beat her?
**[21:57] Konoha**
Okay, Mamoru-kun.
**[22:00] Konoha**
I'll give it all I've got!

Hey, Mamoru-kun.
**[00:38] Konoha**
I know you said it'll just be
the two of us making this game,
**[00:43] Konoha**
but we need writing
and music to make a game,
**[00:46] Konoha**
not to mention the hundreds
of illustrations we'll need!
**[00:49] Konoha**
Trying to do all that
with just two people...
**[00:52] Mamoru**
Other than system-related support,
I can't help you with any of that, either.
**[00:55] Mamoru**
I'm just a programmer.

You need to do it all by yourself.

**[01:01] Konoha**
That's asking for way too much!
**[01:04] Mamoru**
Game development has evolved.
**[01:06] Mamoru**
Now, if you really want to, you
can make a game all by yourself,
**[01:10] Mamoru**
with the help of AI.
**[01:12] Konoha**
AI?!

**[02:48] Mamoru**
AI is responsible for creating the bulk
of illustrations in video games today.
**[02:53] Konoha**
Wait, these are...
**[02:54] Mamoru**
That's right.
**[02:55] Mamoru**
These are your drawings from the past.
**[02:57] Mamoru**
As a test, I'm going to train
the AI on this data.
**[02:59] Konoha**
Mamoru-kun!
**[03:02] Mamoru**
Don't worry.
**[03:03] Mamoru**
This is a private AI that I created.
**[03:06] Mamoru**
It hasn't been released to the public.
**[03:09] Mamoru**
If we load in these images...
**[03:12] Mamoru**
The AI will analyze them and
create similar-looking pictures.
**[03:16] Konoha**
Whoa, that's amazing!
**[03:19] Mamoru**
You can easily change the
coloring style as well.
**[03:21] Mamoru**
From standard illustration coloring,
**[03:24] Mamoru**
to anime-style coloring...
**[03:25] Mamoru**
You can even make it look
like watercolor art.
**[03:28] Mamoru**
It can automatically correct
issues with proportions as well.
**[03:31] Konoha**
What?!
**[03:32] Konoha**
That's super handy!
**[03:34] Mamoru**
And it's not just art.
**[03:35] Mamoru**
AI can assist you with the story and
music, both indispensable for a game.
**[03:41] Mamoru**
This method of utilizing AI is now
mainstream for game development.
**[03:46] Mamoru**
With this, you can make a
game by yourself, right?
**[03:49] Konoha**
If AI is so advanced, can't it just make
games without humans doing anything?
**[03:55] Mamoru**
It's true that, as a whole, that's where
game development is headed right now.
**[04:00] Mamoru**
But even as AI evolves, there's
one thing that it can't create.
**[04:05] Mamoru**
Do you know what that is?
**[04:07] Konoha**
Huh?
**[04:08] Konoha**
What could it be?
**[04:10] Mamoru**
Passion.
**[04:12] Mamoru**
AI can create games quickly, cheaply,
and at a high level of quality.
**[04:17] Mamoru**
But there's no passion in them.
**[04:20] Mamoru**
An AI doesn't have a reason to create games,
**[04:23] Mamoru**
and it can't feel conflicted or
afraid about what it's made.
**[04:26] Mamoru**
It simply carries out the instructions
that it's been given.
**[04:30] Mamoru**
As a result, the games it spits out end
up lacking the passion of a creator.
**[04:34] Mamoru**
That said...
**[04:35] Mamoru**
Games without passion sell just fine.
**[04:38] Mamoru**
Since they still appear to be well-made.
**[04:40] Mamoru**
That's why we're flooded
with games made by AI.

**[04:47] Mamoru**
Well, Meiko and the others still do
the majority of their work manually.
**[04:51] Mamoru**
But what we need now is no ordinary game.
**[04:56] Mamoru**
It's a game that can change history.
**[04:58] Mamoru**
You can't make a game
like that with just AI.
**[05:00] Mamoru**
You need human hands for that.
**[05:03] Mamoru**
Which means it's up to you to create it.
**[05:09] Konoha**
So much pressure...
**[05:11] Mamoru**
No need to look so grim.
**[05:14] Mamoru**
We also have plenty of items
to combat fatigue now.
**[05:17] Mamoru**
For example...
**[05:19] Mamoru**
Office chairs with massaging built in!
**[05:21] Konoha**
Is it supposed to be that intense?!
**[05:23] Mamoru**
Mammoth Energy, to jolt you fully awake!
**[05:25] Konoha**
Look at those messed-up colors!
**[05:27] Mamoru**
Happy Supplements, to magically
reduce your stress to zero!
**[05:31] Mamoru**
Now available in packs with a
needle-free injector as an add-on!
**[05:34] Konoha**
This seems fishy in so many ways!
**[05:36] Konoha**
S-So many items that all
scream "crunch time"...
**[05:43] Mamoru**
It's this late already?
**[05:47] Mamoru**
This lock will open with
fingerprint authentication.
**[05:50] Mamoru**
You can go out any time you'd like,
**[05:53] Mamoru**
but make sure you don't
let anyone else in here.
**[05:55] Mamoru**
Also, don't go near the shelves of PC-98s.
**[05:58] Mamoru**
The PC-98s are very delicate!
**[06:01] Konoha**
I'm not gonna touch them!
**[06:03] Mamoru**
Well then, I'm leaving.
**[06:05] Konoha**
Huh?
**[06:05] Konoha**
You're leaving?
**[06:07] Konoha**
Where to?!
**[06:08] Mamoru**
Work, where else?
**[06:10] Mamoru**
Didn't I tell you that my
job is content supervision?
**[06:12] Mamoru**
I'm the one who manages everything.
**[06:14] Mamoru**
I don't intend on racking up debt like Dad.
**[06:20] Konoha**
You've grown up into a fine adult!
**[06:23] Mamoru**
Don't you talk down to me.
**[06:25] Konoha**
Why not?!
**[06:26] Konoha**
Why, I remember when you
used to be *this* small!
**[06:30] Konoha**
You used to be such an obnoxious child!
**[06:34] Mamoru**
I wasn't that small!
**[06:36] Mamoru**
I was fifteen when we first met!
**[06:39] Konoha**
Oh yeah, Mamoru-kun.
**[06:42] Konoha**
Do you live here all by yourself?
**[06:44] Mamoru**
Yeah.
**[06:45] Mamoru**
There's nothing interesting
back at my apartment,
**[06:49] Mamoru**
so I spend most of my time here.
**[06:50] Konoha**
All alone, huh?
**[06:53] Mamoru**
Is that weird?
**[06:55] Konoha**
Ah, no!
**[06:56] Konoha**
It's not weird at all!
**[06:58] Konoha**
You're exactly as I expected!
**[07:02] Mamoru**
Okay, I'm going now.
**[07:04] Konoha**
Ah, sure!
**[07:06] Konoha**
Have fun at work!
**[07:09] Mamoru**
Y-Yeah.
**[07:28] DJ**
*How are you all doing?*
**[07:30] DJ**
* Oh yes, my daughter's about to take*
* her university entrance exams!*
**[07:35] DJ**
*Time sure does fly!*
**[07:37] Konoha**
This really is impossible!
**[07:40] Mamoru**
It's only been a few days.
**[07:42] Konoha**
Well, c'mon!
**[07:43] Konoha**
I've never made a game to
change history before!
**[07:47] Konoha**
This is way harder than creating a
game to earn one billion yen!
**[07:52] Konoha**
At first, I thought I could do it,
**[07:55] Konoha**
but even after thinking real
hard, I've got nothing!
**[07:58] Konoha**
I used up all my talent on the last game!
**[08:02] Konoha**
I'm a one-hit wonder!
**[08:04] Mamoru**
You traveled all the way across time
just to make video games, right?
**[08:09] Mamoru**
Are you saying you're done
after one measly game?
**[08:12] Mamoru**
I was sure that you'd be dying to make more.
**[08:15] Konoha**
Yeah, yeah!
**[08:16] Konoha**
You're just a consumer who's never made
anything, and does nothing but criticize!
**[08:20] Konoha**
Just keep your mouth shut!
**[08:22] Mamoru**
Who are you calling a consumer?!
**[08:23] Mamoru**
I did all the programming, didn't I?!
**[08:25] Konoha**
Don't give me that!
**[08:27] Konoha**
Reading with the radio on, and
listening to music on top of that!
**[08:30] Konoha**
Must be nice!
**[08:31] Mamoru**
Ah!
**[08:36] Konoha**
Wh-What the heck?!
**[08:37] Mamoru**
Give it back!
**[08:38] Mamoru**
It's the sound of a PC-98 running.
**[08:40] Mamoru**
Listening to it helps me relax.

What?!
**[08:46] Mamoru**
Let's get this straight.
**[08:47] Mamoru**
I never told you to make a
game that will sell well,
**[08:50] Mamoru**
and I didn't say you had to
make an interesting game.
**[08:52] Mamoru**
What is it that you want to make
most in a video game right now?
**[08:56] Mamoru**
That's all you need to think about.
**[09:03] Konoha**
I'm going out for a change of pace!
**[09:06] Mamoru**
That reminds me...
**[09:09] Mamoru**
Is it me or do you sound
more grown-up lately?
**[09:11] Konoha**
What?
**[09:12] Mamoru**
Before, you used to talk
a lot more like a child.
**[09:15] Konoha**
Huh?
**[09:17] Konoha**
Haven't I always been like this?
**[09:22] Mamoru**
You...
**[09:24] Mamoru**
should hurry up and make that game.
**[09:38] Mamoru**
You're changing as well.
**[09:39] Mamoru**
You're being influenced by this world.
**[09:43] Mamoru**
If this keeps up, you might end up losing
your memories of your original world.
**[09:53] Konoha**
*No, I still remember it!*
**[09:55] Konoha**
*It may look completely different
now, but I still remember!*
**[09:59] Konoha**
*Like the first time I came to Akiba!*
**[10:07] Konoha**
*I'd never seen such a
weird place in my life.*
**[10:10] Konoha**
*With mountains of games and
anime, and tons of cute girls!*
**[10:16] Konoha**
*It was a place that felt
like a year-round festival!*
**[10:21] (Flashback) Konoha**
So this is Akihabara!
**[10:33] Konoha**
That's right.
**[10:35] Konoha**
I should get back soon
and work on that game!

**[10:58] Toya's Voice**

Toya-chan!
**[11:03] Toya's Voice**
I-It's been so long!
**[11:05] Konoha**
Huh?
**[11:05] Konoha**
How do you know my phone number?
**[11:08] Toya's Voice**
We exchanged numbers back
in the day at Comiket.
**[11:11] Konoha**
Ah, is that so?
**[11:13] Toya's Voice**
But no matter how many times
I called, it wouldn't go through...
**[11:17] Toya's Voice**
I thought I'd never get
to talk to you again.
**[11:20] Konoha**
S-Sorry about that, Toya-chan.
**[11:22] Konoha**
O-Oh yeah, I saw the news!
**[11:24] Konoha**
That's amazing!
**[11:25] Konoha**
Looks like things are going
well with your company!
**[11:28] Toya's Voice**
Thank you very much.
**[11:30] Toya's Voice**
Um...
**[11:31] Toya's Voice**
Onee-sama, where are you right now?
**[11:33] Toya's Voice**
Would you like to meet up and
chat for old times' sake?
**[11:35] Konoha**
What?
**[11:36] Konoha**
Ah, um...
**[11:38] Konoha**
Well, I don't mind meeting up at all,
but you might be a little surprised.
**[11:45] Toya's Voice**
That's fine by me!
**[11:46] Toya's Voice**
Onee-sama, where are you right now?
**[11:49] Toya's Voice**
Just name the place, and
I'll go and find you!
**[11:51] Konoha**
Huh? Right now?!
**[11:52] Toya's Voice**
Is that a no?
**[11:55] Konoha**
That's not it at all!
**[11:57] Konoha**
I'd love to see you, Toya-chan!
**[12:03] Construction Worker**
That should just about do it, Rokuta-san.
**[12:05] Mamoru**
Good work.
**[12:07] Construction Worker**
Gosh, I can't believe Radio Kaikan is gone.
**[12:11] Construction Worker**
I used to come here all the time.
**[12:14] Construction Worker**
Back in the day, I used to really
be into places like this.
**[12:19] Construction Worker**
I'm a little sad to see it go.
**[12:22] Construction Worker**
Anyway...
**[12:24] Construction Worker**
I wonder when they're going to
finish building that stadium.
**[12:27] Construction Worker**
I hear that the company
funding it got absorbed,
**[12:30] Construction Worker**
and the parent company is
now different or whatnot.
**[12:34] Construction Worker**
Wonder if they ran into
some sort of trouble.
**[12:36] Mamoru**
Well, at the breakneck speed that
this redevelopment is going at,
**[12:40] Mamoru**
nothing would surprise me at this point.
**[12:42] Construction Worker**
I suppose you're right...
**[12:44] Construction Worker**
Well then, Rokuta-san.
**[12:45] Construction Worker**
I'll be leaving now.
**[12:46] Mamoru**
Thanks for your hard work.
**[12:51] Mamoru**
That goes for you, too.
**[13:01] Mamoru**
*Even if Konoha manages to finish her
game, what should we do after that?*
**[13:07] Mamoru**
*Just taking the game and going back to 1999
doesn't mean she can get it released.*
**[13:13] Mamoru**
*She needs to get copies made in the past,*
**[13:15] Mamoru**
*so that the data can become
a part of history.*
**[13:18] Mamoru**
*So who can she entrust with that task?*
**[13:21] Mamoru**
*Someone who will believe
Konoha's bizarre tale,*
**[13:24] Mamoru**
*and turn her game into a success...*
**[13:31] Barista**
Thank you for waiting!
**[13:48] Mamoru**
Another coffee, please.
**[13:50] Barista**
Right away!
**[13:55] Konoha**
When's Toya-chan gonna get here?
**[14:31] Glenn**
What do you think of your new office?
**[14:34] Glenn**
We think it's perfect for someone
as beautiful and talented as you,
**[14:42] Glenn**
Ms. Toya.
**[14:44] Toya**
Yes.
**[14:44] Toya**
It's quite a splendid office.
**[14:47] Toya**
There's one thing, though.
**[14:49] Toya**
Why won't you let me meet
your founder, Mr. Glenn?
**[14:54] Glenn**
My deepest apologies.
**[14:55] Glenn**
Our founder is currently dealing
with a very important matter.
**[15:00] Glenn**
I have word that you'll be the first
priority as soon as it's settled, Ms. Toya.
**[15:05] Toya**
Is there something that takes
priority over our meeting?
**[15:09] Toya**
I thought we were supposed to
be equal business partners.
**[15:12] Glenn**
Why, of course it's an equal partnership.
**[15:14] Glenn**
That's exactly the reason you're
sitting at that desk, Ms. Toya.
**[15:18] Glenn**
You saw our cuu game development know-how,
**[15:21] Glenn**
struck a deal, and agreed to the terms.
**[15:24] Toya**
I was...
**[15:24] Glenn**
Ah, yes, I know.
**[15:27] Glenn**
I understand how you must feel.
**[15:29] Glenn**
That said, you're speaking with
the CEO of Planet Games Japan.
**[15:33] Glenn**
My authority is nothing to make light of...
**[15:35] Glenn**
Oh?
**[15:37] Glenn**
My word.
**[15:39] Glenn**
Yes, excellent!
**[15:41] Glenn**
Rejoice, Ms. Toya!
**[15:43] Glenn**
Konoha Akisato-sama is headed your way.
**[15:47] Toya**
Onee-sama?!
**[15:48] Glenn**
You've been dying to meet her, haven't you?
**[15:51] Toya**
Headed my way?
**[15:52] Toya**
Mr. Glenn!
**[15:53] Toya**
Why is Onee— Konoha Akisato-san coming here?!
**[15:57] Glenn**
Why, it's simple.
**[15:59] Glenn**
All I did was call her up.
**[16:00] Glenn**
A single phone call.
**[16:02] Glenn**
Ring, ring!
**[16:03] Glenn**
Ah, and I just happened to
enlist *your* help in the matter.
**[16:08] Toya**
What?
**[16:09] Toya's Voice**
*Onee-sama, where are you right now?*
**[16:12] Toya**
You used my voice...
**[16:14] Toya's Voice**
* In order to get Onee-sama's phone*
* number, I hacked into your cell phone!*
**[16:20] Toya's Voice**
*I'd do anything to meet Onee-sama again.*
**[16:24] Toya**
But I couldn't reach her, no
matter how many times I tried...
**[16:27] Toya**
So how?
**[16:28] Glenn**
Now we've achieved what we set
out to do with this merger.
**[16:33] Glenn**
It was truly a long process getting here.
**[16:36] Glenn**
But now it's finally in our hands:
**[16:39] Glenn**
Original Cuu.
**[16:41] Glenn**
The genius creator
behind *The Last Waltz*.
**[16:45] Glenn**
The mysterious figure sought out by all,
**[16:48] Glenn**
so that they might learn
the source of her ideas.
**[16:51] Glenn**
Konoha Akisato.
**[16:53] Glenn**
Even as her name became known around the
world, no one knew of her whereabouts.
**[16:59] Glenn**
There was nobody who had met
her, or spoken with her.
**[17:02] Glenn**
With a limited number
of exceptions, that is.
**[17:05] Glenn**
And you were one of those
lucky few, Ms. Toya.
**[17:09] Toya**
What are you planning on
doing with Onee-sama?!
**[17:13] Toya**
Don't tell me...
**[17:14] Toya**
You're going to subject her to *that*?!
**[17:16] Toya**
Is that...
**[17:17] Toya**
Is that why you acquired my company?!
**[17:20] Glenn**
Ms. Toya, have you heard the saying,
"A flower cannot bloom without secrecy"?
**[17:26] Glenn**
Now, we can become the masters
of global entertainment.
**[17:31] Glenn**
The fame, fortune, and admiration you
so desired is practically guaranteed.
**[17:36] Toya**
Why are you telling me all of this?
**[17:39] Toya**
If I report this to the police...
**[17:45] Glenn**
You'll do no such thing.
**[17:47] Glenn**
We did our research on you going
into this merger, Ms. Toya.
**[17:53] Glenn**
You're cut from the same cloth as us.
**[17:57] Glenn**
Therefore, you won't go to the police.
**[18:01] Glenn**
Or rather, you can't!
**[18:02] Glenn**
Am I wrong, Ms. Toya?
**[18:06] Glenn**
Let's settle this peacefully, Ms. Toya.
**[18:09] Glenn**
I promise we'll make it worth it for you.
**[18:12] Glenn**
So long.
**[18:13] Toya**
Wait!
**[18:18] Toya**
Onee-sama...
**[18:27] Konoha**
The hospital?
**[18:30] Konoha**
Why am I...
**[18:35] Konoha**
That's right.
**[18:37] Konoha**
I was waiting to meet up with Toya-chan,
when I was dragged into that van...
**[18:41] Konoha**
After that...
**[18:43] Konoha**
What *is* this?!
**[18:46] Konoha**
They put me into a plugsuit-looking thing!
**[18:50] Konoha**
My clothes? They're gone!
**[18:52] Konoha**
My phone? Gone!
**[18:53] Konoha**
My backpack? Gone!
**[18:56] Konoha**
But seriously, what is this place?
**[19:00] Konoha**
Am I going to be sold off
to some super rich guy?
**[19:04] Konoha**
Like in one of those games...
**[19:06] Konoha**
Huh?
**[19:07] Konoha**
The door's not locked!
**[19:12] Konoha**
In situations like these,
when the door is unlocked,
**[19:15] Konoha**
in most games, that means there's
*something* waiting outside.
**[19:25] Konoha**
E-Excuse me...
**[19:31] Konoha**
Anyway, let's look for a way out.
**[19:40] Konoha**
Wait.
**[19:41] Konoha**
Is this a life-size figure?
**[19:53] Konoha**
Is that the exit?
**[20:00] Konoha**
What?!
**[20:04] Konoha**
Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh...
**[20:06] Konoha**
What *is* this place?!
**[20:13] Konoha**
Wait, more figures?
**[20:15] Konoha**
It's really creeping me out...
**[20:19] Konoha**
N-No...
**[20:21] Konoha**
This isn't a figure!
**[20:23] Konoha**
These are people...
**[20:25] Konoha**
There are humans trapped inside!
**[20:28] Konoha**
In all of these tanks?!
**[22:26] Mamoru**
*When I saw her...*
**[22:28] Mamoru**
*It looked like she was waiting for someone.*
**[22:32] Mamoru**
*But in the brief moment that I took my eyes
off her, she vanished into thin air.*
**[22:38] Mamoru**
*Her words immediately
before she disappeared,*
**[22:40] Mamoru**
*as well as the vehicle
that I saw drive off...*
**[22:50] Matsubara**
Yes, Matsubara speaking.
**[22:51] Mamoru**
This is Rokuta.
**[22:52] Matsubara**
Hello there, President.
**[22:54] Matsubara**
Is something the matter?
**[22:56] Mamoru**
I need a car.
**[22:57] Mamoru**
Send over the fastest one
we have to the warehouse.
**[23:00] Matsubara**
Understood.
**[23:01] Mamoru**
Thank you. Good-bye.
**[23:19] Mamoru**
Sorry for waking all of you up so suddenly.
**[23:23] Mamoru**
But right now, I need your help.
**[23:27] Mamoru**
Find out where Konoha went.
**[23:29] Mamoru**
I'm counting on all of you.

The car that abducted Konoha
was seen coming here.
**[02:55] Mamoru**
That van...
**[02:58] Mamoru**
Who are those people?
**[03:01] Mamoru**
Going by their outfits and gear, they
don't look like regular security.
**[03:06] Mamoru**
What are these guys doing
at a construction site?
**[03:10] Mamoru**
*What's going on here?*
**[03:12] Mamoru**
*What's Konoha gotten herself into?*
**[03:15] Mamoru**
*I don't know why they kidnapped
her, or where she is now.*
**[03:19] Mamoru**
*I can't just waltz in
through the front door.*
**[03:21] Mamoru**
*Now what, then?*
**[03:25] Mamoru**
*That's right.*
**[03:26] Mamoru**
*On top of constructing the stadium,*
**[03:28] Mamoru**
*there was one other

*The way forward is...*
**[04:49] Mamoru**
*That door, huh?*
**[04:54] Mamoru**
*The security at the Akihabara underground
market is as lax as ever.*
**[04:59] Mamoru**
*I can make do with this.*
**[05:03] Mamoru**
Thanks for your hard work!
**[05:09] Mamoru**
*As a kid, I cracked copy protection
schemes on games all the time.*
**[05:14] Mamoru**
*Burn hole protection, long track
protection, and CRC protection.*
**[05:19] Mamoru**
*You could even say that part was
more fun than the actual games.*
**[05:23] Mamoru**
*And now that I'm older, this time,
I'm hacking my way into Akiba.*
**[05:28] Mamoru**
*I swear.*
**[05:29] Mamoru**
*I haven't changed, even as an adult.*
**[05:31] Mamoru**
*No, perhaps I was never
an adult to begin with.*
**[05:35] Mamoru**
*This town is like a giant playground for me.*
**[05:39] Mamoru**
*Even after all these decades.*

Now then, for this type

**[05:54] Mamoru**
Looks like it's time to use this.
**[06:00] Mamoru**
All right!
**[06:10] Mamoru**
*No one's gotten in my way so far...*
**[06:13] Mamoru**
*But that's about to change here.*
**[06:16] Mamoru**
*The abandoned site of the
Joban New Line project.*
**[06:19] Mamoru**
*It was supposed to be a railway line to
connect to Tokyo, from Tsukuba to Akihabara.*
**[06:25] Mamoru**
*But they made a last-minute decision
not to run the line through Akihabara.*
**[06:31] Mamoru**
*Construction of the train
station was halted,*
**[06:33] Mamoru**
*and in its place, they built the radio
tower that is Akihabara Sky Tower.*
**[06:38] Mamoru**
*Could there have been a timeline
where this line ended up opening?*
**[06:46] Mamoru**
*If I climb up here...*
**[06:53] Mamoru**
*What now?*
**[06:57] Mamoru**
*A rat?*
**[07:03] Worker**
What?
**[07:04] Worker**
Is someone there?
**[07:13] Worker**
Wh-What's that music?!
**[07:18] Worker**
Over there!
**[07:19] Lyrics**
Another busy day running around in circles~
**[07:22] Lyrics**
I don't mind, I'm used to it by now~
**[07:35] Toya**
Halt!
**[07:38] Konoha**
Th-They stopped.
**[07:45] Toya**
O-Onee-sama?
**[07:47] Toya**
Is that really you, Onee-sama?
**[07:49] Toya**
You look exactly the same as back then.
**[07:52] Toya**
But how?
**[07:53] Konoha**
Toya-chan!
**[07:54] Toya**
Don't come any closer!
**[07:56] Toya**
I-I'm sorry.
**[07:59] Konoha**
I-It's fine.
**[08:00] Konoha**
Anyway, Toya-chan, what is this place?
**[08:04] Konoha**
There's a ton of people trapped here!
**[08:09] Konoha**
Toya-chan?
**[08:11] Glenn**
Welcome to Planet Games.
**[08:16] Glenn**
Konoha Akisato-sama.
**[08:18] Glenn**
Oh, what a surprise.
**[08:20] Glenn**
Just how old *are* you, Original Cuu?
**[08:24] Glenn**
The genius creator behind *The Last Waltz*!
**[08:27] Glenn**
You should be close to 50 years old,
but you look like a young girl!
**[08:31] Glenn**
I see, I see...
**[08:36] Glenn**
You truly are an extraordinary being!
**[08:39] Glenn**
The perfect fit for this place!
**[08:41] Konoha**
Wh-Who in the world are you?!
**[08:43] Konoha**
Take me back to Akiba!
**[08:45] Konoha**
And what's the deal with this place?!
**[08:48] Glenn**
Oh, I do apologize, Ms. Konoha.
**[08:52] Glenn**
My name is Glenn Faulkner.
**[08:54] Glenn**
I'm the CEO of Planet Games Japan.
**[08:58] Glenn**
And Ms. Konoha, you happen to find
yourself in our development room.
**[09:03] Konoha**
D-Development room?
**[09:05] Konoha**
You mean for developing video games?
**[09:08] Konoha**
B-But...
**[09:11] Konoha**
I don't see any desks, or even a computer!
**[09:15] Konoha**
S-So what are these people doing, then?!
**[09:18] Konoha**
They're trapped in these weird tanks!
**[09:22] Glenn**
Why, they're working for us, of course.
**[09:26] Glenn**
You could say that they're something
like sustenance for our CI.
**[09:31] Konoha**
C-CI? Sustenance?!
**[09:33] Glenn**
Cybernetic intelligence.
**[09:36] Glenn**
Our company's glorious integrated
entertainment development system.
**[09:41] Glenn**
Ms. Konoha.
**[09:42] Glenn**
I'll be open with you and
tell you everything.
**[09:47] Glenn**
As you know, AI has surpassed
humanity in the past few years,
**[09:52] Glenn**
and all creative matters
have been left to AI.
**[09:56] Glenn**
At first, there were no problems with that.
**[09:58] Glenn**
A game that would take humans several years
could be finished by AI in a single day!
**[10:03] Glenn**
A bright new future was upon us!
**[10:06] Glenn**
Boo!
**[10:07] Glenn**
However, it wasn't long
before we reached a limit.
**[10:11] Glenn**
The things AI create end up
pretty much all being the same.
**[10:14] Glenn**
AI are completely lacking in anything
like imagination or spontaneity.
**[10:20] Glenn**
And so, the quality of a game ends up
depending yet again on time and money spent.
**[10:25] Glenn**
Game development goes right back
to becoming a numbers game.
**[10:29] Glenn**
But then we came up with an idea.
**[10:31] Glenn**
It was time once again for
humans to be put to work.
**[10:35] Glenn**
This CI is hooked up to 200 people.
**[10:40] Glenn**
All of them were originally
creative professionals.
**[10:43] Konoha**
What?!
**[10:44] Glenn**
By connecting their brains and
neural networks to computers,
**[10:49] Glenn**
the CI becomes able to consult
human sensibilities,
**[10:52] Glenn**
to create completely original games,
**[10:55] Glenn**
the likes of which no one has seen before.
**[10:58] Glenn**
24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
**[11:01] Glenn**
These people do a great
deal of work for the CI.
**[11:04] Glenn**
With compensation, of course.
**[11:07] Glenn**
AI used to assist human beings.
**[11:10] Glenn**
Now it's the other way around.
**[11:12] Glenn**
That's all there is to it.
**[11:13] Glenn**
It's not a bad deal for these folks, either.
**[11:17] Glenn**
The CI get to make use of their talent,
**[11:20] Glenn**
without any of it going to waste.
**[11:22] Konoha**
S-Still!
**[11:23] Konoha**
Say what you will, but
this is way too cruel!
**[11:26] Glenn**
Ms. Konoha.
**[11:28] Glenn**
That talent of yours...
**[11:29] Glenn**
We're the ones who can utilize it 100%.
**[11:34] Glenn**
I promise we won't put those
phenomenal gifts of yours to waste.
**[11:39] Glenn**
Okay, let us proceed, Ms. Toya!
**[11:43] Toya**
Onee-sama.
**[11:44] Toya**
Please enter this CI.
**[11:49] Toya**
Starting today, you'll be...
**[11:51] Toya**
hooked up to this system!
**[12:03] Mamoru**
*It feels different here than it did earlier.*
**[12:05] Mamoru**
*Where could Konoha be?*
**[12:15] Zombie Debugger A**
Cuu... Cuu...
**[12:24] Mamoru**
What's the deal with *him*?
**[12:26] Mamoru**
Doesn't look like he's dead.

**[12:43] Mamoru**
Wait, is this a debug room?
**[12:47] Mamoru**
But look at them...
**[12:49] Mamoru**
They're practically zombies!
**[13:10] Mamoru**
*Based on the personnel
upstairs and down here,*
**[13:13] Mamoru**
*we're not dealing with
anyone ordinary here.*
**[13:16] Mamoru**
*Konoha... Is she all right?*
**[13:19] Konoha**
I don't wanna!
**[13:22] Toya**
Onee-sama.
**[13:23] Toya**
You won't be in any pain
when you enter the CI.
**[13:26] Toya**
You'll just be spending time
in a tank for a while.
**[13:30] Toya**
That's all.
**[13:31] Konoha**
N-No!
**[13:33] Konoha**
No, I don't wanna!
**[13:34] Konoha**
Toya-chan, you've completely changed!
**[13:37] Konoha**
What's gotten into you?!
**[13:40] Toya**
It's been over twenty years since then.
**[13:44] Toya**
To save my company, to survive...
**[13:48] Toya**
I needed to accept this merger.
**[13:50] Toya**
If I didn't, my company
would have gone under!
**[13:53] Toya**
But as a result, I ended
up getting you involved.
**[13:58] Konoha**
Toya-chan...
**[14:01] Toya**
You've...
**[14:02] Toya**
You've always been my idol.
**[14:04] Toya**
I still look up to you to this day!
**[14:06] Toya**
Creating such an incredible
game and changing the world!
**[14:09] Toya**
I wanted to be just like you!
**[14:15] Toya**
But I couldn't do it.
**[14:21] Konoha**
Th-That's not true!
**[14:23] Konoha**
Toya-chan, you're amazing!
**[14:24] Konoha**
You started your own company!
**[14:26] Konoha**
Y-You're way, way more
incredible than I ever was!
**[14:30] Konoha**
Really... Really!
**[14:32] Toya**
I'm not...
**[14:34] Toya**
I'm not a genius like you are.
**[14:37] Toya**
But I have my employees,
**[14:39] Toya**
and fans with expectations,
**[14:41] Toya**
so I need to keep on creating games!
**[14:45] Toya**
So... Onee-sama...
**[14:48] Toya**
I'm sorry.
**[14:50] Toya**
I'm sorry...
**[14:53] Konoha**
Toya-chan...
**[14:55] Konoha**
P-Please don't cry.
**[14:57] Konoha**
I'm... I'm not...
**[15:08] Toya**
Onee-sama?
**[15:09] Konoha**
I'm sorry!
**[15:10] Konoha**
I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
**[15:12] Konoha**
The truth is that I'm no genius!
**[15:16] Konoha**
I'm nothing but ordinary!
**[15:18] Konoha**
And yet... And yet...
**[15:21] Konoha**
It's my fault that the Akiba I love is gone!
**[15:24] Konoha**
That the games I love are gone!
**[15:26] Konoha**
Even the bishojo I love are gone!
**[15:29] Konoha**
And worst of all, I was
causing you so much pain...
**[15:32] Konoha**
I hate this world, and
this way of making games!
**[15:37] Toya**
Onee-sama...
**[15:40] Konoha**
I have a lot to thank computers for!
**[15:44] Konoha**
I mean, it's thanks to my computer
that I became a good artist!
**[15:50] Konoha**
It may not be that impressive
to anyone else,
**[15:54] Konoha**
but I learned to make art
that I thought was amazing
**[15:57] Konoha**
because of computers and
the programs on there!
**[16:01] Konoha**
But if this is where that leads us,
then to Hell with computers!
**[16:06] Konoha**
There's no joy to be had making
games in a world like this!
**[16:10] Konoha**
I'll make sure I rewrite it!
**[16:12] Konoha**
I'll make sure I completely
overwrite such a world!
**[16:16] Konoha**
I'll... I'll...
**[16:20] Konoha**
create a game to make everyone happy!
**[16:25] Toya**
O-Onee-sama...
**[16:28] Glenn**
Goodness gracious.
**[16:29] Glenn**
I have places to be, you know.
**[16:32] Glenn**
I think that's enough catching up.
**[16:34] Glenn**
Please make up your mind, Ms. Toya.
**[16:37] Glenn**
If you refuse, then I'll take
matters into my own hands.
**[16:41] Glenn**
I'll give you three seconds.
**[16:45] Glenn**
Three.
**[16:46] Glenn**
Two.
**[16:48] Glenn**
One.
**[16:55] Mamoru**
Konoha!
**[16:57] Konoha**
That voice...
**[16:59] Konoha**
Mamoru-kun!
**[17:02] Konoha**
M-Mamoru-kun?
**[17:04] Konoha**
What are *you* doing here?!
**[17:05] Mamoru**
I'll explain later!
**[17:07] Mamoru**
Right now, just run!
**[17:08] Konoha**
O-Okay!
**[17:11] Glenn**
Damn it!
**[17:12] Glenn**
What happened?!
**[17:14] Glenn**
Ah! They're getting away!
**[17:16] Glenn**
What are you doing?!
**[17:17] Glenn**
After them!
**[17:21] Toya**
Please let them go!
**[17:23] Toya**
Keep your hands off them!
**[17:25] Glenn**
Don't be ridiculous!
**[17:28] Glenn**
So be it.
**[17:29] Glenn**
I'll just assume command directly.
**[17:38] Konoha**
Mamoru-kun, you came to rescue me?
**[17:41] Mamoru**
I-I'm not very athletic!
**[17:44] Mamoru**
Besides, do you know how old I am?!
**[17:46] Mamoru**
I said I would help you, but
I never agreed to all this!
**[17:51] Mamoru**
I swear!
**[17:54] Konoha**
Sorry!
**[18:00] Konoha**
The robots from before!
**[18:02] Mamoru**
Don't worry about them.
**[18:03] Konoha**
What?
**[18:04] Konoha**
Huh?
**[18:05] Mamoru**
They're on our side now.
**[18:08] Konoha**
Our side?
**[18:09] Mamoru**
Yeah.
**[18:10] Konoha**
I've hacked them to link them up
to the PC-98s in the warehouse.
**[18:14] Konoha**
What?!
**[18:16] Mamoru**
I've said it countless times:
**[18:18] Mamoru**
nothing can beat the PC-98!
**[18:22] Guard A**
I see them! There!
**[18:24] Guard A**
Geez, wasting our time like that...
**[18:27] Guard A**
Return to the lab!
**[18:29] Konoha**
Wh-Wh-Wh-What now, Mamoru-kun?!
**[18:34] Konoha**
What?
**[18:37] Konoha**
What?!
**[18:40] Guard C**
H-Hey, look!
**[18:42] Guard D**
Return fire!
**[18:48] Konoha**
D-Don't shoot!
**[18:49] Konoha**
I'm just an illustrator!
**[18:53] Mamoru**
This way!
**[18:53] Konoha**
O-Okay!
**[18:55] Mamoru**
Open!
**[18:56] Konoha**
Sesame!
**[18:58] Guard E**
Wait up!
**[19:00] Guard E**
Wh-What?!
**[19:01] Robot**
The doors are closing.
**[19:03] Guard E**
Cut the crap! Open up!
**[19:06] Robot**
I can't do that.
**[19:07] Guard E**
Why not?!
**[19:10] Mamoru**
Is your next game an
action game or something?
**[19:13] Konoha**
I don't wanna make a game
full of dead ends like this!
**[19:18] Guard F**
Found them!
**[19:22] Guard F**
A flare?
**[19:24] Guard F**
The hell is this?
**[19:26] Guard F**
Trying to create a smokescreen?
**[19:28] Guard F**
That's cute.
**[19:29] Alert**
Extinguishing fire.
**[19:35] Konoha**
Mamoru-kun, what was that back there?
**[19:37] Mamoru**
I used a flare to set off the
fire extinguisher system.
**[19:41] Mamoru**
It should buy us some time.
**[19:44] Glenn**
What are all of you idiots doing?!
**[19:47] Glenn**
How much time are you going to
waste capturing two people?!
**[19:51] Glenn**
Damn it!
**[19:53] Guard H**
Mr. Glenn!
**[19:54] Glenn**
What now?!
**[19:54] Guard H**
Targets have been spotted!
**[19:57] Guard H**
They're heading to the
surface on the cargo lift!
**[20:00] Glenn**
Cut the power to the lift!
**[20:03] Glenn**
Shut down all systems other
than the CI and this room!
**[20:06] Toya**
Stop it already!
**[20:09] Glenn**
Oh, it's just you.
**[20:11] Toya**
Hook me up to the CI!
**[20:14] Toya**
I'll take Onee-sama's place!
**[20:18] Glenn**
And here I was wondering what you'd say.
**[20:21] Glenn**
You, take her place?
**[20:25] Glenn**
You'll never be fit to take her place.
**[20:32] Glenn**
Beat it.
**[20:33] Glenn**
Go and get out of my sight.
**[20:41] Konoha**
Yes!
**[20:42] Konoha**
We're almost there!
**[20:43] Mamoru**
Yeah, we are.
**[20:55] Guard C**
It stopped...
**[20:57] Konoha**
M-Mamoru-kun!
**[20:59] Konoha**
The lift stopped moving!
**[21:02] Glenn**
You sure have given us a
hard time, Original Cuu.
**[21:08] Glenn**
But our game of cat and mouse ends here.
**[21:15] Glenn**
You have nowhere to run.
**[21:16] Glenn**
This is checkmate.
**[21:19] Glenn**
I don't see the need to be civil anymore.
**[21:22] Glenn**
You're getting in that CI, Konoha Akisato!
**[21:26] Mamoru**
Damn it!
**[21:27] Mamoru**
After we made it so far!
**[21:31] Konoha**
Stop this already!
**[21:36] Glenn**
Guards, bring both of them along.
**[21:39] Group**
Yes, sir!
**[21:44] Glenn**
Wh-What is that?
**[21:47] Mamoru**
H-Hey, look!
**[21:51] Konoha**
What?!
**[21:57] Konoha**
U... U-U-U-U-U...
**[22:00] Konoha**
UFO?!

**[00:04] Pedestrian A**
Hey, look!
**[00:08] Pedestrian B**
Whoa...
**[00:09] Pedestrian C**
What the hell *is* that?!
**[00:15] Konoha**
A UFO?
**[00:17] Glenn**
Oh my...
**[00:22] Konoha**
M-Mamoru-kun!
**[00:23] Konoha**
Someone's coming out!
**[00:25] Mamoru**
Is that...
**[00:27] Mamoru**
E-Echo?
***SIGN*** "The Things I Hold Dear"
**[00:40] Mamoru**
You're... Echo!
**[00:43] Glenn**
What are you standing around for?!
**[00:45] Glenn**
Hurry up and capture Konoha Akisato!
**[00:48] Guard**
R-Right away!
**[00:51] Echo Two**
Bang!
**[00:58] Mamoru**
Echo, you saved us?
**[01:10] Konoha**
M-Mamoru-kun!
**[01:12] Mamoru**
It's okay.
**[01:13] Mamoru**
She's not our enemy.
**[01:23] Mamoru**
Are you awake?
**[01:24] Konoha**
Y-Yeah.
**[01:26] Konoha**
M-More importantly, Mamoru-kun...
**[01:28] Konoha**
Where are we?
**[01:30] Mamoru**
Dunno.
**[01:31] Mamoru**
Don't ask me.
**[01:33] Mamoru**
At the very least, it's not
where we were a moment ago.
**[01:38] Konoha**
Mamoru-kun, you're
pretty calm about all this.
**[01:42] Mamoru**
It beats being chased around
by those weird thugs.
**[01:45] Echo One**
Have you come to?
**[01:49] Mamoru**
You're...
**[01:50] Echo One**
Oh, if it isn't Mamoru-san.
**[01:54] Echo One**
Did you try out the game that we made?
**[01:58] Konoha**
Mamoru-kun, do you know him?
**[02:01] Mamoru**
It's a long story.
**[02:07] Echo One**
I'm glad we made it in time.
**[02:09] Echo One**
If something had happened to you here,
**[02:11] Echo One**
we would have had to make another long trip.
**[02:15] Echo One**
But now we finally get to meet.
**[02:17] Konoha**
U-Um...
**[02:19] Konoha**
Who exactly might you be?
**[02:21] Echo One**
You could call us many things.
**[02:24] Echo One**
I'm afraid I don't have a concise answer.
**[02:30] Mamoru**
You...
**[02:34] Echo One**
I have embarked on a long journey
to come face to face with you.
**[02:39] Echo One**
And to tell you these words.
**[02:43] Echo One**
May I have your autograph?
**[02:46] Konoha**
Huh?
**[02:47] Echo One**
I'm a fan of yours.
**[02:50] Konoha**
Fan?
**[02:51] Echo One**
Yes, a big one!
**[02:54] Konoha**
U-Um, well, what do you want
me to autograph?
**[02:59] Echo One**
Right here.
**[03:02] Konoha**
Autograph this?
**[03:04] Konoha**
This box?
**[03:05] Echo One**
Yes, please!
**[03:12] Konoha**
H-Here you go.
**[03:18] Echo One**
Thank you so much.
**[03:20] Konoha**
N-No, it's my pleasure.
**[03:25] Echo One**
This is a video game.
**[03:27] Echo One**
The game that you'll complete in the future.
**[03:30] Konoha**
What?
**[03:31] Echo One**
I believe you should be in the
middle of development now.
**[03:35] Echo One**
This game is a masterpiece.
**[03:39] Konoha**
Thanks for the kind words, but we're
in the middle of making it...
**[03:45] Echo One**
That's true. Let me think...
**[03:48] Echo One**
Would you like to see
what kind of game it is?
**[03:51] Konoha**
What?
**[03:53] Echo One**
This is what the game you're
about to create is like.
**[04:02] Echo One**
This is how your game appears to us.
**[04:06] Echo One**
Konoha-san, do you know what this light is?
**[04:09] Konoha**
Not really...
**[04:11] Konoha**
But there's something mysterious about it...
**[04:15] Echo One**
This is human imagination.
**[04:18] Konoha**
Imagination?
**[04:20] Echo One**
Isn't it fascinating?
**[04:22] Echo One**
Even as it takes on new form
with the passage of time,
**[04:24] Echo One**
it continues to live on, as you can see.
**[04:29] Echo One**
And it's not just you.
**[04:31] Echo One**
Every human being possesses
the same faculty.
**[04:35] Echo One**
Why, take a look.
**[04:40] Echo One**
For humans, it's not any
sort of special power.
**[04:52] Toya**
Wh-What's this light?!
**[04:54] Echo One**
Children, adults, and the elderly alike.
**[04:57] Echo One**
No matter where they may live, it's
an ability that they all possess.
**[05:02] Echo One**
And depending on how it's used,
**[05:04] Echo One**
it can produce enormous power,
and make anything possible.
**[05:08] Echo One**
Yes, like this game.
**[05:11] Echo One**
When I first came across this game,
I couldn't understand this sensation.
**[05:17] Echo One**
In search of the truth
behind this sensation,
**[05:19] Echo One**
I've gone on a long, long journey,
and finally arrived here.
**[05:24] Echo One**
It ended up taking far longer
than I had originally planned,
**[05:28] Echo One**
but even so...
**[05:31] Echo One**
I'm glad I was able to meet you.
**[05:36] Echo One**
Right then.
**[05:37] Echo One**
I eagerly await the completion of your game.
**[05:41] Echo Two**
Mamoru-kun!
**[05:43] Echo Two**
Bye-bye!
**[05:45] Konoha**
U-Um...
**[05:47] Konoha**
Who in the world *are* you?!
**[05:49] Konoha**
Have I met you somewhere before?
**[06:13] Mamoru**
So I passed out?
**[06:18] Konoha**
Huh?
**[06:19] Konoha**
Where's the UFO?
**[06:23] Toya**
It disappeared?
**[06:25] Pedestrian A**
That wasn't a dream... was it?
**[06:27] Pedestrian B**
It wasn't.
**[06:28] Pedestrian D**
No way!
**[06:29] Pedestrian D**
I didn't get any of it!
**[06:33] Mamoru**
Hold on tight.
**[06:35] Konoha**
Thanks, Mamoru-kun.
**[06:38] Toya**
Onee-sama!
**[06:41] Konoha**
Toya-chan!
**[06:45] Konoha**
Toya-chan?
**[06:47] Toya**
Here, Onee-sama.
**[06:50] Konoha**
Those are mine...
**[06:51] Konoha**
Toya-chan, did you find them for me?
**[07:01] Mamoru**
They're finally here.
**[07:04] Meiko**
Kono-chan!
**[07:07] Meiko**
Kono-chan!
**[07:08] Kaori**
Mamocchi!
**[07:10] Konoha**
Meiko-san! Kaori-san!
**[07:13] Meiko**
Kono-chan!
**[07:15] Meiko**
Sheesh, you had me worried sick!
**[07:18] Kaori**
Seriously!
**[07:20] Kaori**
And you, Mamocchi.
**[07:21] Kaori**
It's been a while since we've met in person.
**[07:23] Mamoru**
You sure came late.
**[07:25] Manager**
We're not late!
**[07:27] Manager**
We chartered a scramjet
plane to cross the Pacific!
**[07:32] Manager**
Do you know how much it cost me?!
**[07:34] Kyonshi**
Ah, my back's killing me!
**[07:36] Konoha**
Everyone!
**[07:38] Konoha**
But why are you here?
**[07:39] Meiko**
Huh?
**[07:40] Meiko**
He didn't tell you, Kono-chan?
**[07:43] Meiko**
Mamoru-kun reached out to all of us.
**[07:47] Meiko**
He told us you were in trouble, and asked
us to help you make your game.
**[07:52] Kaori**
Hey, Mamocchi, what's the big idea?
**[07:56] Manager**
Mamoru!
**[07:57] Manager**
That side of you still hasn't changed, huh?
**[08:00] Kyonshi**
Ah, my back's killing me...
**[08:08] Kyonshi**
Aw man.
**[08:09] Kaori**
Mamocchi!
**[08:11] Manager**
Mamoru!
**[08:14] Meiko**
You haven't changed at all.
**[08:18] Meiko**
Thank goodness.
**[08:20] Kaori**
Kono-chan sure is full of mysteries.
**[08:24] Kaori**
How is she the same?
**[08:25] Meiko**
Why, isn't it obvious?
**[08:29] Meiko**
It's because Kono-chan is an angel!
**[08:35] Meiko**
Kono-chan.
**[08:36] Meiko**
Can we help out with the game you're making?
**[08:41] Meiko**
We want to make a game with you!
**[08:45] Konoha**
Yes!
**[08:47] Manager**
All right!
**[08:48] Manager**
Now that that's settled,
everyone in the chopper!
**[08:51] Manager**
The 90s Alcohol Soft crew is back in action!
**[08:59] Konoha**
Toya-chan!
**[09:02] Konoha**
Do you want to come with us?
**[09:06] Toya**
I'm sorry, Onee-sama.
**[09:09] Toya**
There are still things
I need to take care of here.
**[09:12] Toya**
I'll be staying behind.
**[09:15] Toya**
Besides, after getting you
involved in all of this,
**[09:19] Toya**
I have no right to make a game with you...
**[09:21] Konoha**
Sure you do!
**[09:23] Konoha**
Didn't we promise each other?
**[09:26] Konoha**
We said we'd make a game together!
**[09:28] Toya**
You remembered our promise?
**[09:32] Konoha**
Of course!
**[09:33] Konoha**
I'd never forget my promise to you!
**[09:37] Konoha**
So come with us!
**[09:41] Toya**
I'm sorry, Onee-sama.
**[09:43] Toya**
I can't go with you right now.
**[09:47] Toya**
That said...
**[09:50] Toya**
I'll call you once
everything's settled down.
**[09:53] Toya**
I still want to make a
game together with you!
**[09:59] Konoha**
Yeah! Sure thing!
**[10:01] Konoha**
I'll be waiting for you, Toya-chan!
**[10:11] Dispatcher**
110, emergency services speaking.
**[10:13] Dispatcher**
Are you calling about a crime? An accident?
**[10:15] Toya**
My name is Toya Yamada.
**[10:18] Toya**
Can you make your way immediately
to Akihabara Stadium?
**[10:21] Dispatcher**
T-Toya Yamada?!
**[10:24] Meiko**
Say, Kono-chan.
**[10:26] Meiko**
That was Toya Yamada-san
just now, wasn't it?
**[10:29] Meiko**
From Shooting Stars.
**[10:31] Meiko**
You're friends with that celebrity?
**[10:35] Konoha**
Toya-chan is my dear friend!
**[10:43] Kyonshi**
That's the last one!
**[10:47] Kyonshi**
Ah, my back's killing me...
**[10:49] Kaori**
Good work, Kyonshi.
**[10:50] Manager**
That makes all of the desks
and PCs I asked for.
**[10:54] Mamoru**
Thanks, Dad.
**[10:56] Konoha**
Huh?
**[10:57] Konoha**
Don't we have a few extra desks here?
**[11:00] Kikiko**
Sorry!
**[11:02] Lalako**
We're late!
**[11:03] Konoha**
What?
**[11:04] Kikiko**
Wow!
**[11:05] Kikiko**
It's really Kono-chan-san!
**[11:07] Lalako**
You're right!
**[11:09] Hashimoto**
Long time no see, Konoha-san.
**[11:11] Kikiko**
It's the manager's fault for getting a
helicopter with the wrong number of seats!
**[11:12] Konoha**
Kikilala-san! Hashimoto-san!
**[11:15] Lalako**
It was a real pain in the tush!
**[11:17] Manager**
Didn't I apologize already?
**[11:20] Kaori**
Let's leave the chitchat for later.
**[11:22] Kaori**
Everyone, now it's our turn
to help out Kono-chan.
**[11:26] Kaori**
Let's get Kono-chan's game finished!

**[12:10] Konoha**
We finished it!
**[12:12] Mamoru**
Yeah.
**[12:13] Mamoru**
Dad and the others left in a flash,
as soon as the game was wrapped up.
**[12:17] Konoha**
Still, I had fun making
a game with everyone again!
**[12:21] Mamoru**
We spilled the beans in the end.
**[12:24] Mamoru**
About the time travel stuff.
**[12:25] Konoha**
Yeah.
**[12:26] Konoha**
There wasn't a way to hide it any longer.
**[12:29] Konoha**
I mean, my appearance has
stayed exactly the same.
**[12:32] Konoha**
But in the end, everyone
wished me good luck!
**[12:36] Mamoru**
Yeah.
**[12:39] Mamoru**
It's almost time.
**[12:41] Mamoru**
You don't have any unfinished
business, right?
**[12:43] Konoha**
Nothing.
**[12:44] Konoha**
I crammed in everything
I wanted to get done!
**[12:46] Konoha**
Oh, one last thing!
**[12:53] Mamoru**
You want to walk around Akiba one last time?
**[12:57] Mamoru**
I can't believe that's the
one thing you wanted to do.
**[13:00] Konoha**
I-Is that weird?
**[13:01] Mamoru**
No, it's just like you.
**[13:04] Mamoru**
More importantly, you made sure to
bring the game with you, right?
**[13:08] Konoha**
Sheesh!
**[13:09] Konoha**
Don't treat me like a little kid!
**[13:11] Konoha**
I have it right here!

**[13:21] Mamoru**
No, I think it's fine.
**[13:24] Mamoru**
Besides, I know that the game inside is fun.
**[13:27] Konoha**
Yeah!
**[13:28] Mamoru**
Right, I should give this
to you while I can.
**[13:31] Mamoru**
I wrote down everything
you need to do in here.
***SIGN*** To Mamoru
**[13:34] Mamoru**
Give that to me in 1999.
**[13:38] Mamoru**
Then pray that 1999 me
will figure out the rest.
**[13:45] Konoha**
Mamoru-kun.
**[13:48] Konoha**
It won't be easy.
**[13:49] Konoha**
You're going to spend over twenty years
keeping watch over history, all by yourself?
**[13:55] Mamoru**
Yeah.
**[13:56] Mamoru**
I guess that's how it's going to be.
**[14:01] Mamoru**
Don't feel sorry for me.
**[14:03] Konoha**
But...
**[14:05] Mamoru**
I love Akiba as well, you know.
**[14:08] Mamoru**
As much as you do.
**[14:11] Konoha**
Mamoru-kun...
**[14:12] Mamoru**
That's why this is a two-person
plan between you and me.
**[14:18] Mamoru**
You've already done everything you can.
**[14:20] Mamoru**
Just leave the rest to me.
**[14:22] Mamoru**
Have faith in the game that you've made.
**[14:26] Konoha**
Yeah!
**[14:28] Konoha**
You know, Akiba's so clean now,
and the corner stores are gone.
**[14:31] Mamoru**
Whenever we pulled all-nighters,
you always fell asleep right away.
**[14:33] Konoha**
Th-That's not true!
**[14:35] Mamoru**
You didn't mess with the PC-98s, did you?
**[14:37] Konoha**
I didn't touch them!
**[14:38] Mamoru**
You haven't grown up at all.
**[14:40] Konoha**
What was that?!
**[14:51] Mamoru**
Here we are.
**[14:53] Mamoru**
Well, good luck.
**[14:55] Konoha**
Okay.
**[15:02] Konoha**
Hey, Mamoru-kun.
**[15:05] Mamoru**
What?
**[15:06] Konoha**
I'm about to go to 1999, change history,
and then come back to 2023, right?
**[15:15] Konoha**
I-In that case, when I come back
to 2023 and meet you again...
**[15:22] Konoha**
Will that Mamoru-kun be the same as
the one standing here right now?
**[15:30] Mamoru**
Strictly speaking, we'll
be two different people.
**[15:33] Konoha**
S-So all the things that
happened up until now,
**[15:36] Konoha**
including this conversation...
you're going to forget all of it?
**[15:39] Konoha**
Am I going to forget about the
Mamoru-kun I'm talking to right now?
**[15:44] Mamoru**
Yeah, that might be the case.
**[15:48] Konoha**
Oh no...
**[15:51] Konoha**
I don't want that...
**[15:53] Konoha**
I don't wanna forget!
**[15:59] Mamoru**
You won't forget.
**[16:00] Konoha**
Huh?
**[16:02] Mamoru**
Back when I met Echo, we had a conversation.
**[16:06] Mamoru**
He told me humans are bursting with energy.
**[16:09] Konoha**
Energy?
**[16:10] Mamoru**
Yeah.
**[16:11] Mamoru**
That energy is what makes
everything possible.
**[16:14] Mamoru**
So you won't forget.
**[16:16] Mamoru**
As long as that energy burns
inside us, we'll never forget.
**[16:22] Mamoru**
Why don't we test it out?
**[16:24] Mamoru**
Let's see if we still remember each other.
**[16:32] Konoha**
Sure! Fine by me!
**[16:34] Konoha**
I'll never forget what happened today!
**[16:36] Konoha**
No, not just today!
**[16:39] Konoha**
All the things we did together!
**[16:43] Mamoru**
Yeah.
**[16:45] Konoha**
Okay, Mamoru-kun.
**[16:50] Konoha**
See you later!
**[16:58] Mamoru**
See you later, Konoha.
**[17:10] Konoha**
This is really the last one.
**[17:13] Konoha**
*Comic Party*.
**[17:15] Konoha**
*It's fine.*

it's not full of surprising twists and turns."
**[17:47] Nanako**
"But I really wanted to tell all of you
my story, so I turned it into a game."
**[17:53] Nanako**
"There's so much I want to tell you."
**[17:56] Nanako**
"There are fun parts, scary parts,
parts to make you laugh,"
**[18:01] Nanako**
"as well as the story of
some very wonderful girls."
**[18:07] Nanako**
"It's all jam-packed in here."
**[18:09] Nanako**
"I hope you enjoy it!"
**[18:11] Nanako**
"Okay, let's get started!"
**[18:16] Konoha**
I-I'm back?
**[18:25] Konoha**
This is...
**[18:26] Konoha**
This is the Akiba I remember!
**[18:32] Konoha**
It's back!
**[18:35] Dejiko**
Nyo!
**[18:38] Konoha**
What?
**[18:39] Konoha**
What?!
**[18:40] Konoha**
This place looks crazier than I remember!
**[18:43] Dejiko**
Welcome to Akihabara, nyo!
**[18:48] Konoha**
That's right, Alcohol Soft.
**[18:50] Konoha**
What about Alcohol Soft?!
**[19:02] Konoha**
All the lights are off...
**[19:05] Konoha**
Everyone...
**[19:07] President**
What are you doing?
**[19:09] Konoha**
Ah! Prez!
**[19:13] Konoha**
*Oh, that's right!*
**[19:15] Konoha**
*It completely slipped my mind,*
**[19:17] Konoha**
*but it was Blue Bell that
was here in the original 2023!*
**[19:23] Konoha**
Prez!
**[19:24] Konoha**
You wouldn't believe what I've been through!
**[19:27] Konoha**
Video games have the power
to do great things!
**[19:29] Konoha**
No matter the game, I've decided
I'll work on them as hard as I can!
**[19:33] Konoha**
Just leave it to me, Prez!
**[19:36] President**
Huh? What are you talking about?
**[19:38] Konoha**
What am I talking about?!
**[19:40] Konoha**
You know, Blue Bell's latest game!
**[19:43] President**
Blue Bell? My company?
**[19:47] President**
We don't make video games.
**[19:49] Konoha**
What?
**[19:50] President**
Take a look.
***SIGN*** Welcome!
***SIGN*** Welcome!MILF Café Blue Bell
**[19:52] Konoha**
M-MILF Café Blue Bell?!
**[19:55] President**
Wait, a game studio?
**[19:58] President**
Are you talking about Alcohol Soft?
**[20:00] Konoha**
Alcohol Soft?!
**[20:02] Konoha**
Can I find them here?!
**[20:03] President**
That's in the past.
**[20:05] President**
After their game became a hit,
they all moved over to the US.
**[20:09] President**
After Alcohol Soft moved out, a different
game studio bought out the entire building.
**[20:15] President**
They must have a lot of
money to throw around.
**[20:17] President**
I should have gone into making games.
**[20:21] President**
Damn shame...
**[20:24] Konoha**
I see.
**[20:25] Konoha**
Everyone's in the US.
**[20:27] Konoha**
Yeah, of course they are.
**[20:31] Konoha**
That's good.
**[20:33] Konoha**
It's all for the best.
**[20:35] Konoha**
This is what I wanted.
**[20:38] Konoha**
Thanks, Mamoru-kun!
**[20:42] Konoha**
I remember...
**[20:45] Konoha**
I still remember!
**[20:47] Konoha**
Mamoru-kun, and everything else!
**[20:52] Konoha**
Thanks, Mamoru-kun!
**[20:54] Konoha**
I'll stay here, in Akiba,
and make video games!
**[20:59] Konoha**
Forever and ever!
**[21:05] Konoha**
I say that, but what do I do now?
**[21:08] Konoha**
Blue Bell turned into a
MILF café and all...
**[21:28] Mamoru**
Twenty years without anyone
to actually make the games.
**[21:31] Mamoru**
Small as it may be, it was a real
pain to keep this company going.
**[21:35] Mamoru**
You sure did take your sweet time...
**[21:39] Mamoru**
Okay, let's make some games.
**[21:42] Konoha**
Mamoru-kun...
**[21:45] Konoha**
Mamoru-kun!
**[21:48] Konoha**
Mamoru-kun!
**[22:03] Mamoru**
Konoha.
**[22:06] Mamoru**
Why don't we make a game together?
**[22:14] Konoha**
Yeah!
