[00:02] Konoha
    Mamoru-kun!
[00:04] Konoha
    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!

    This music sounds so clear!
SIGN    "It's Fine!"
[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...
[05:28] (Flashback) Mamoru
    Don't you dare do anything.
[05:31] (Flashback) Mamoru
    Time travelers aren't supposed
    to change history, right?
[05:36] Konoha
    It...
[05:37] Meiko
    It?
[05:40] Konoha
    It's a secret!
[05:44] Konoha
    If I can't tell them that, why the
    heck did I come to the past?!

    You sure are carrying a lot.
[06:11] Toya
    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...
[06:21] Konoha
    This is for work!
[06:23] Konoha
    As a super cop...

    Ah! That's supposed to be confidential...
[06:27] Toya
    I see.
[06:28] 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!
[07:05] Konoha
    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!

[08:10] Toya
    I still have some games I want to
    buy, so I'm off to search for them.
[08:15] Konoha
    All right, see ya!
[08:16] Toya
    U-Um, Konoha-san...
[08:19] Toya
    No...
[08:20] Toya
    Onee-sama!
[08:23] Konoha
    O-Onee-sama?!
[08:25] Toya
    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.
[08:43] Konoha
    Bye!
[08:46] Konoha
    The future of bishojo
    games is looking bright!
[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?

    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.

    That's because Mamoru's been raised

    And he ran off while I was asleep!

    Wow!

    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!

[17:10] Konoha
    Isn't that right?!

    Which is why you want me
    to go back and make eroge.

    so I finally worked up the
    courage to come this year.

    It's complete!
[20:12] Group
    We did it!
[20:16] Kyonshi
    I just wanna go home and sleep...
[20:17] Group
    Yay!
[20:21] Konoha
    Mamoru-kun, it's thanks to you
    that we finished another game!
[20:27] Mamoru
    I got suckered into it by
    that smooth tongue of yours.
[20:30] Konoha
    In the end, I was just a
    sub-illustrator again,
[20:34] Konoha
    because I spent my time
    playing detective for you!

[20:41] Mamoru
    Oh yeah.
[20:46] Mamoru
    I fixed that PDA of yours for you.
[20:51] Konoha
    Really?!
[20:53] Mamoru
    I modified the connector
    to supply it with power.
[20:56] Mamoru
    Doesn't look like anything's
    wrong with the circuit board.
[21:00] Konoha
    It turned on!
[21:02] Konoha
    Look at this!
[21:03] Konoha
    This is my art!
[21:05] Mamoru
    What's this?
[21:07] Mamoru
    The whole thing is an LCD?
[21:09] Mamoru
    W-Wait...
[21:11] Mamoru
    You're the one who drew this?
[21:14] Konoha
    That's right!
[21:15] Konoha
    Isn't it cute?
[21:18] Konoha
    Everyone! Take a look at this!
[21:21] Mamoru
    Stop it!
[21:21] Mamoru
    Don't show them that!
[21:22] Konoha
    Why not?
[21:24] Mamoru
    If they see that...
[21:26] Mamoru
    Whoa, hey!
[21:29] Mamoru
    Ow, ow, ow...
[21:32] Mamoru
    Hey, you!
[21:39] Konoha
    Mamoru-kun...
[21:42] Konoha
    Let's make a game...
[21:49] Mamoru
    H-Hey!
[22:02] Mamoru
    She's gone?
