[00:05] Mamoru
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
Quit your screaming.
[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
revised schedule shortly.
[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.

[04:30] Mamoru
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.

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!

Thanks a lot for your help!

[08:43] Konoha
Um, please drive around

[08:46] Taxi
Understood.
[09:00] Konoha
Th-This can't be real.
[09:02] Konoha
There's no way this could be happening.
[09:04] Konoha
I mean, all I did was make a single game.
[09:08] Konoha
How could that lead to all of this?!
[09:12] Konoha
Um, taxi!
[09:14] Konoha
Is there anywhere around
here that sells games?
[09:17] Taxi
Understood.
[09:29] Mamoru
The world Konoha came from?
[09:32] Mamoru
Where exactly did she come from?
[09:35] Mamoru
Konoha's trip through time...
[09:37] Mamoru
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
2023 where history didn't change.
[10:08] [SONG] Sign
Original
[10:08] [SONG] Sign
Altered
[10:12] Mamoru
Since that's her original location.
[10:15] Mamoru
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.

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

I did!

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!

Hey, M-Mamoru-kun!

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!

Such a wonderful computer, yet...
In the shadows of human evolution,

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!

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.

This is the only one that's left.

[19:36] Mamoru
Okay!

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!
