[00:02] Onlooker A
What happened to her?
[00:04] Onlooker B
Well, she just suddenly collapsed...
[00:06] Onlooker B
What on earth?
[00:07] Onlooker C
Did she faint from some sort of condition?
[00:15] Konoha
Huh?!
[00:16] Afro Owner
You're the one who visits
our store all the time.
[00:19] Afro Owner
What's wrong?
[00:21] Konoha
Ah, I'm a huge idiot!
[00:23] Konoha
I ended up back here after doing
nothing but part-time work again!
[00:25] Konoha
If I showed them the drawings on my tablet,
[00:27] Konoha
I'm sure they'd ask me to make a
game with me as head illustrator!
[00:31] Konoha
I'm not cut out to be a protag at all!
[00:39] Konoha
Next time for sure!
[00:43] Afro Owner
I-I didn't realize she was so unstable.
[00:51] Konoha
I still have a chance!
[00:53] Konoha
Good things come in threes!
[00:57] Konoha
I know I can return to the past again!

[02:39] Konoha
The games I got from that granny's shop...
[02:42] Konoha
Both times I opened the boxes,
I was sent back into the past.
[02:47] Konoha
The first date was before Christmas 1992,
[02:52] Konoha
and the second date was...
[02:54] Konoha
the day Kizuato *came out: July 26, 1996.
[02:59] Konoha
The release date for Doukyuusei *was...
[03:02] Konoha
December 17, 1992!
[03:05] Konoha
I knew it!
[03:07] Konoha
I'm going back to the day that
the game I open came out!
[03:09] Konoha
And whenever I open a
package, it disappears!
[03:12] Konoha
That's right!
[03:14] Konoha
That must be how it works!
[03:18] Konoha
I should try opening another
game, just to make sure.
[03:23] Konoha
I should pick a game that's as close as
possible to when I went back before.
[03:38] Konoha
There!
[03:50] Konoha
I can't travel back in time
with just any ordinary game.
[03:54] Konoha
It has to be a game from that shop...
[04:01] Konoha
Why are there so many games missing?
[04:04] Konoha
What games did I have here again?
[04:09] Konoha
Could it be that history has changed?!
[04:12] Konoha
Is this because of what I did?
[04:14] Konoha
Nuh-uh! That can't be it!
[04:17] Konoha
That can't be it! No way!
[04:20] Konoha
I mean, all I did was work
part-time for Alcohol Soft!
[04:25] Konoha
Seriously, I haven't done a single thing!
[04:30] Konoha
But if something I did in
the past caused this...
[04:41] Konoha
Maybe I should just stop...
[04:44] Konoha
It's all too...
SIGN Blue Bell
[05:13] Konoha
I'm so sick of my job...
[05:16] Konoha
No, no!
[05:17] Konoha
I wanna go back to Alcohol Soft!
[05:19] Konoha
I wanna see everyone from
Alcohol Soft again!
[05:27] Konoha
Maybe one more time wouldn't hurt...
[05:31] Konoha
I get it now!
[05:33] Konoha
I won't do anything!
[05:34] Konoha
I'll lay nice and low, like
a fugitive on the run!
[05:39] Konoha
I bet it's just coincidence
that my games went missing!
[05:43] Konoha
That's right!
[05:44] Konoha
It must have been a burglar
who only steals eroge!
[05:47] Konoha
I'll just lay low this time around!
[05:53] Konoha
The game closest to when
I went back last time...
[05:58] Konoha
This one?
[05:59] Konoha
Kanon, released on June 4, 1999!
[06:09] Konoha
Uguu!

What?!
[06:44] Konoha
Alcohol Soft is gone!
[06:47] Konoha
Th-This is my company's...
[06:49] Konoha
Blue Bell's office building!

[07:06] Meiko
You went and disappeared on us again!
[07:08] Meiko
Goodness!
[07:09] Kaori
You haven't changed a bit, Kono-chan!
[07:12] Kaori
It's amazing how you look exactly the same!
[07:14] Kaori
What have you been up to?!
[07:16] Konoha
U-Um...
[07:18] Konoha
Well, you could say I went to
go get a change of clothes...
[07:23] Meiko
Three years to go change clothes?
[07:25] Kaori
You sure are a joker.
[07:27] Kaori
Wanna work part-time again?
[07:30] Konoha
I always make the weirdest appearances,
but they're welcoming me with open arms!
[07:34] Konoha
I'm so happy!
[07:36] Konoha
Everyone's so nice here!
[07:40] Konoha
Alcohol Soft turned into this huge building?
[07:45] Kaori
That's right.
[07:46] Kaori
As part of the redevelopment
here in Akihabara.
[07:49] Meiko
Just look at how much space we
have now in our development room.
[07:52] Kaori
Ta-dah!
[07:54] Kaori
Game cabinets!
[07:55] Konoha
Arcade! It's an arcade!
[07:58] Kaori
All of it is thanks to
our game becoming a hit!

[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

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

[11:12] Manager
is going to be released on console!

[11:47] Kaori

[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!

[12:22] 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 Occupied
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...

Ah, Gaya-san?
[19:28] Manager
I'm down! I'm down!
[19:30] Manager
Where are you right now?!
[19:33] Manager
See ya!
[19:38] Konoha
I am a maid! Your very own maid!
[19:41] Konoha
Cleaning, laundry, cooking, hm-hm-hmm!
[19:46] Konoha
Mamoru-kun?
[19:48] Konoha
Mamoru-kun!
[19:51] Mamoru
Hey, didn't you say you were going
to steer clear of everyone?
[19:54] Konoha
You don't count, Mamoru-kun!
[19:56] Konoha
I can finally talk normally!
[19:59] Konoha
Everyone's real fired up
about the console game!
[20:02] Konoha
How nice...
[20:04] Mamoru
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!
[21:22] Konoha
No matter the era I'm in, this
is what it's like for me!
[21:30] Konoha
Ow, ow...
[21:34] Konoha
Ah, this sucks!
[21:36] Konoha
All of my hard work!

[21:40] Mamoru
Wait...
[21:42] Konoha
What's that?
[21:43] Mamoru
Where'd you get this garbage?
[21:45] Konoha
That trash bag is from when
I cleaned the garage just now.
[21:48] Mamoru
This is a cosplay club run by Ichigaya.
