Alcohol Soft is real busy working on
the console port with Diamond Studio!
[00:33] Konoha
I'm so jealous!
[00:35] Konoha
I want to make a game with my art,

and port it over to console, too!

Why am I out here on a stakeout?!
[00:51] Konoha
Just to double-check, but
I'm a time traveler!
[00:56] Konoha
I am, right?!
[00:59] (Flashback) Mamoru
Starting tomorrow, you'll
be staking out this club.
[01:01] (Flashback) Konoha
Huh? Why me?
[01:04] (Flashback) Mamoru
Isn't it obvious?
[01:05] (Flashback) Mamoru
No one will miss you if
you're not at the office.
[01:08] (Flashback) Mamoru
I'll lend you one of my cell phones,
[01:10] (Flashback) Mamoru
so let me know immediately
if anything happens.
[01:13] (Flashback) Mamoru
Listen to me.
[01:13] (Flashback) Mamoru
Make sure you keep a good lookout.
[01:15] (Flashback) Mamoru
Don't do anything unnecessary.
[01:18] Konoha
Grr...
[01:20] Konoha
I know I said I was okay
with doing chores...
[01:23] Konoha
I did, but still!

[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.

out all the stops here!

There was more stuff from

[04:12] Mamoru
He has been reckless with his money lately.
[04:16] Mamoru
But I have a nagging feeling
that it's more than that.
[04:19] Mamoru
He's hiding something.
[04:21] Mamoru
If I asked him directly, I'm sure
he'd just dodge the question.
[04:24] Mamoru
I need some evidence here!
[04:28] Mamoru
Boy, searching this Internet

Anime is great!

But in the future, eroge could very
well get turned into TV anime!
[05:36] Kaori
And that could be us!

About Kanon, the game that just came out.
[05:57] Kamiyama
It's really something else!

I can't believe how unique the heroine is.
[06:01] Yuki
Her trademark phrase is "uguu"! "Uguu"!
[06:04] Yuki
I could understand "dayomon," at least!
[06:07] Meiko
That almost reminds me of Kono-chan.
[06:09] Kaori

One billion yen...
[19:19] Mamoru
Opening a computer shop after mass
retailers started carrying them.
[19:23] Mamoru
Starting a game company, despite never
really having played a video game.
[19:28] Mamoru
I knew all of this, but I let
him be, so maybe I'm no better.
[19:33] Konoha
Was there really nothing
more I could have done?
[19:37] Mamoru
You did plenty.
[19:39] Mamoru
You even tracked him down.
[19:41] Konoha
Still!
[19:42] Konoha
I came back in time again, but
I was powerless to do anything...
[19:45] Konoha
It's just too awful!
[19:48] Mamoru
I had a hunch that something was wrong.
[19:50] Mamoru
When someone from the future like
you had no idea who Ichigaya was.
[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
believing what you said.
[20:02] Mamoru
However...
[20:04] Mamoru
I might have been able
to prevent all of this.
[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.

Everyone's dream?
[20:19] Konoha
Mamoru-kun, you think this is your fault?

[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!
