[00:03] Super Mina
    Master, I am done with cooking,
    cleaning, and laundry.
[00:07] master
    Way to go, Super Mina.
    You can handle anything.
[00:12] master
    I should have bought you in the first place.
[00:15] master
    Compared to that, you're incompetent.
[00:21] master
    I shouldn't have bought you.
[00:27] Makura-kun
    What is wrong, Super Mina?
[00:30] Super Mina
    It was like I was dreaming.
[00:32] Makura-kun
    That means you performed some major
    internal memory organization.
[00:37] Super Mina
    Memories?
[00:38] Makura-kun
    Because Super Minas deal
    with vast amounts of data,
[00:41] Makura-kun
    during sleep mode they arrange
    memories based on priority.
[00:45] Makura-kun
    Sometimes during that process, they show
    up in your consciousness as dreams.
[00:50] Super Mina
    Does that mean that dream
    was a memory of mine?
[00:55] Super Mina
    I don't know anyone all wavy like that.
[00:58] Makura-kun
    Wavy?
[01:00] Makura-kun
    Perhaps there is some protection placed
    on it, to safeguard personal info.
[01:06] Super Mina
    I was calling him "Master."
[01:09] Super Mina
    But I don't think he was Rihito-sama.
[01:13] Makura-kun
    That is strange.
[01:15] Makura-kun
    I oversee your charging and maintenance,
[01:18] Makura-kun
    and you came with me straight from the
    manufacturer here to the Saionji household.
[01:21] Super Mina
    Yeah.
[01:23] Makura-kun
    You should not have had any
    masters prior to Rihito-sama.
[01:26] Super Mina
    Prior masters... Prior...
[01:37] Makura-kun
    Super Mina?

[03:12] Takuma
    Your memories are mixed together?
[03:15] Mina
    My memories and yours?
[03:18] Super Mina
    Yes. Amongst my memories are some
    that clearly seem to belong to you.
[03:24] Takuma
    How could such a thing happen?
[03:26] Super Mina
    When Kosugi Mina-san wished to think, I lent
    her my brain over the internet.
[03:33] Takuma
    Oh yeah, there were times
    when that happened.
[03:35] Mina
    Yes.
[03:36] Super Mina
    There is a chance the memories
    were mixed up then.
[03:38] Takuma
    Huh? Your memories
    get mixed up that easily?
[03:42] Super Mina
    Such a thing doesn't happen if
    I make sure to guard against it.

[03:50] Super Mina
    But sometimes my mind ends up wandering.
[03:53] Super Mina
    That's probably when it happened.
[03:56] Super Mina
    I really am sorry! So sorry!
[03:58] Mina
    You have been more helpful
    than not. It is no issue.
[04:02] Takuma
    Yeah.
[04:03] Super Mina
    Are you experiencing any problems
    from having mixed memories?
[04:09] Mina
    My memories have not become
    mixed up. I am fine.
[04:12] Super Mina
    I think there are cases where the
    robot itself cannot detect it.
[04:15] Super Mina
    Please let me run a test.
[04:17] Mina
    All right.
[04:19] Super Mina
    What is your owner's name?
[04:22] Mina
    Saionsugi Takuhito.
[04:24] Takuma
    You're mixed up, for sure.
[04:26] Mina
    What is mixed up, Takuma-sama?
[04:29] Takuma
    S-See, you just said "Takuma."
[04:33] Takuma
    Your owner's name doesn't
    match up with your memories.
[04:39] Mina
    It is true.
[04:40] Mamoru
    Mina broken?
[04:41] Mina
    My memories are mixed up.
[04:43] Super Mina
    We need to confirm to whom each
    of our blended memories belong.
[04:48] Super Mina
    Let's compare and adjust.
[04:50] Mina
    All right.
[04:51] Super Mina
    When something is beyond our
    understanding, we should ask Takuma-san.
[04:55] Takuma
    Sure, I've got you covered.
[04:57] Super Mina
    Now, please sit between us.
[05:00] Takuma
    Okay.
[05:02] Super Mina
    Jumping right in...
[05:04] Super Mina
    Takuma-san, remind me.
    Which of us is your wife?
[05:09] Takuma
    Huh?!
[05:10] Mina
    Saionji-san, you have a different family
    name, and you do not live with us.
[05:16] Super Mina
    That is merely circumstantial evidence.
[05:18] Super Mina
    Isn't there a non-zero chance I am your wife?
[05:22] Takuma
    She's so close!
[05:23] Takuma
    Kosugi! Kosugi is my wife!
[05:31] Super Mina
    Well then...
[05:35] Super Mina
    Who snuggles with you like this?
    Is that also Kosugi Mina-san?
[05:39] Takuma
    Hey!
[05:42] Mina
    Saionji-san.
[05:44] Mina
    I do not believe there are many robots who
    snuggle with anyone besides their owner.
[05:49] Takuma
    Whoa!
[05:53] Mina
    With humans, physical intimacy is
    something to approach with caution.
[05:57] Mina
    It should not be attempted
    until we are certain.
[05:59] Super Mina
    I realize that!
[06:02] Super Mina
    I just can't stop myself, no matter what!
[06:05] Super Mina
    Full strength!
[06:07] Takuma
    Saionji-san, calm down!
[06:10] Takuma
    She's so strong. I'm gonna die!
[06:22] Takuma
    Mina-chan...
[06:32] Mina
    Saionji-san.
[06:34] Mina
    Please focus on the urge
    that lies beneath the urge
[06:36] Mina
    to embrace him with all your might.
[06:39] Super Mina
    Beneath?
[06:41] Mina
    What is it you want of Takuma-sama?
[06:52] (Flashback) Otani
    Love a person and be loved by them.
[07:08] Mina
    Are you all right, Takuma-sama?
[07:12] Mamoru
    You okay, Takuma?
[07:14] Takuma
    Y-Yeah... I'm okay.
[07:20] Mina
    Are you all right, Saionji-san?
[07:25] Super Mina
    Y-Yes.
[07:34] Super Mina
    I truly am sorry.
[07:37] Takuma
    It's okay. I was just a little surprised.
[07:40] Mina
    No problem. This happens all the time.
[07:43] Takuma
    Right.
[07:44] Super Mina
    That would have ended terribly
    if you hadn't stopped me.
[07:48] Takuma
    I'm fine now.
[07:49] Takuma
    So, what's this "urge beneath
    the urge to embrace"?
[07:57] Mina
    The two of us will compare memories.
[07:59] Mina
    Takuma-sama, please take Mamoru home.
[08:03] Takuma
    But...
[08:05] Mina
    I will ask you later about
    any and all unresolved items.
[08:08] Mina
    Please go on ahead.
[08:10] Takuma
    O-Okay.
[08:11] Takuma
    Mamoru-kun, want to go to
    the bookstore or something?
[08:14] Mamoru
    Oh yeah!
[08:22] Rihito
    Mina.
[08:27] Rihito
    Hey Mina.
[08:29] Rihito
    Listen.
[08:31] Rihito
    Why are you clinging to me?
[08:35] Super Mina
    Master.
[08:36] Rihito
    What?
[08:37] Super Mina
    It doesn't hurt?
[08:39] Rihito
    No.
[08:40] Super Mina
    Not even a little?
[08:41] Rihito
    It doesn't hurt.
[08:54] Takuma
    That left a bruise.
[08:55] Mamoru
    Bruuuise!
[08:57] Mina
    Super Mina's arms are about
    three times as strong as mine.
[09:01] Takuma
    That much?!
[09:02] Mina
    If I were to try hard enough...
[09:06] Mina
    it would be possible for
    me to tear you apart.
[09:08] Takuma
    Isn't the Mina Series too strong?
[09:11] Mina
    Is that amazing?
[09:12] Takuma/Mamoru
    Amazing!
[09:14] Takuma
    What's amazing is that you don't tear
    things apart with all that power.
[09:18] Mina
    Indeed.
[09:28] Takuma
    I'm gonna snuggle too.
[09:30] Mina
    No problem.
[09:31] Mamoru
    Takuma.
[09:33] Mamoru
    Careful you don't break Mina!
[09:37] Takuma
    Don't worry.
[09:39] Mina
    Humans do not have the arm
    strength to crush a robot.
[09:43] Mamoru
    Humans not amazing.
[09:45] Takuma
    That's true.
[09:46] Mamoru
    Takuma.
[09:48] Takuma
    What is it?
[09:49] Mamoru
    Why does snuggling cheer you up?
[09:51] Takuma
    Uh, well...
[09:54] Mina
    When a human embraces
    their partner of choice,
[09:57] Mina
    they secrete a hormone called oxytocin.
[10:00] Mamoru
    Oxy...?
[10:01] Mina
    It seems when oxytocin is secreted,
    it promotes a sense of well-being,
[10:05] Mina
    and strengthens one against stress.
SIGN    She looked
    it up online.
[10:08] Mamoru
    Takuma got stronger!
[10:10] Mina
    It can be said I am one of just
    a few machines that have the
[10:14] Mina
    feature of cheering up Takuma-sama.
[10:17] Takuma
    You're the only one, Mina-chan.
[10:19] Mina
    Yes. I was the only one in the world.
[10:22] Mina
    Is that amazing?
[10:23] Takuma
    It sure is.
[10:26] Mina
    Am I competent?
[10:28] Takuma
    Yeah.
[10:29] Mina
    Are you glad you bought me?
[10:37] Takuma
    I'm really glad I got to meet you, Mina-chan.
[10:45] Mina
    That is what matters.
[10:57] Takuma
    Hello.
[11:00] Takuma
    Super Mina-chan?
[11:05] Super Mina
    Sorry this is so sudden.
[11:07] Takuma
    That's okay.
[11:09] Super Mina
    Your cell number was in Kosugi Mina-san's
    memories, so I called you directly.
[11:15] Takuma
    I don't mind, but what is it
    you wanted to tell me privately?
[11:20] Super Mina
    It is about Kosugi Mina-san's previous owner.
[11:24] Takuma
    Huh? Mina-chan's?
[11:26] Super Mina
    You see, when our memories were mixed up,
[11:29] Super Mina
    her memories of her previous
    owner got reproduced as a dream.
[11:35] Super Mina
    What was in them was just so...
[11:38] Super Mina
    I couldn't stand it any longer.
[11:40] Takuma
    "Just so," what? Was something
    terrible done to her?
[11:44] Super Mina
    I thought I would give
    him a piece of my mind,
[11:47] Super Mina
    and after piecing together the remaining
    memories, I tried going to his residence.
[11:52] Takuma
    You can do that sort of thing?
[11:54] Super Mina
    It isn't a good thing, is it?
[11:56] Takuma
    Well, just...
[11:57] Takuma
    I thought there were safeguards placed
    on the personal info of anyone
[12:01] Takuma
    who's relinquished ownership.
[12:03] Super Mina
    I think because I myself
    am not Kosugi Mina-san,
[12:07] Super Mina
    the safeguards were weakened.
[12:09] Takuma
    That makes sense. And so?
[12:12] Super Mina
    Her previous owner's name
    is Otani Tomikazu-san.
[12:15] Super Mina
    He was 21 when he owned her.
[12:17] Super Mina
    He works as a programmer and
    lives by himself in an apartment.
[12:22] Takuma
    And, well, how did it go when you met him?
[12:29] Super Mina
    He did not exist.
[12:32] Takuma
    Huh?
[12:32] Super Mina
    No such person existed.
[12:39] Takuma
    What?
[12:51] Takuma
    Oh, so strong!
[12:52] Mamoru
    Amazing?
[12:54] Takuma
    So amazing!
[13:05] Takuma
    Mina-chan's previous owner... Otani...
[13:10] (Flashback) Super Mina
    No such person existed.
[13:16] Takuma
    What's that supposed to mean?
[13:18] Takuma
    She's not going to have memories
    of someone who didn't exist.
[13:22] Takuma
    Did Mina-chan just dream him up?
[13:25] Takuma
    That can't be.
[13:28] Takuma
    Maybe that wasn't his real name.
[13:36] Mamoru
    Takuma! Takuma!
[13:40] Mamoru
    Tickle me! Tickle!
[13:42] Takuma
    Okay.
[13:46] Takuma
    Tickle, tickle. Tickle, tickle.
[13:56] Takuma
    It's not good to go prying
    into your wife's past!
[14:00] Takuma
    And we have Mamoru-kun now, too.
[14:02] Mamoru
    Takuma, more!
SIGN    Open
    slowly
[14:06] Rihito
    Mina, I said "no"!
[14:08] Rihito
    You have a fever, so get some rest!
[14:10] Super Mina
    But there's nothing wrong with me.
[14:12] Rihito
    Just do as I say.
[14:14] Super Mina
    All right.
[14:16] Rihito
    I'll look after the cats, so let me
    know right away if there's a problem.
[14:20] Super Mina
    All right.
[14:22] Super Mina
    I'm generating excess heat
    because I keep on analyzing
[14:26] Super Mina
    Kosugi Mina-san's memories
    in the background.
[14:30] Super Mina
    I know I shouldn't...
[14:33] Super Mina
    but it bugs me.
[14:37] Takuma
    Tickle tickle tickle!
[14:39] Takuma
    Tickle tickle tickle!
[14:40] Mamoru
    More! More!
[14:42] Takuma
    Tickle tickle tickle!
[14:43] Super Mina
    Kosugi Mina-san.
[14:44] Mina
    Saionji-san, hello.
[14:46] Super Mina
    Sorry to bother you.
[14:48] Mina
    No problem. How can I help you?
[14:50] Super Mina
    Actually, I have something to think about,
    and I would like to borrow your brain.
[14:55] Mina
    My brain is inferior to yours in processing
    power, but you are welcome to it.
[15:00] Super Mina
    Thank you.
[15:04] Super Mina
    I'll go directly into Mina-san's
    head and peek at her memories.
[15:08] Super Mina
    As a third party, I should be able
    to evade the memory protections.
SIGN    Sorry, Mina-san.
[15:16] Mina
    Takuma-sama, I will be in
    sleep mode for a while.
[15:19] Takuma
    Okay. Sleep tight.
[15:21] Mamoru
    Sleep tight.
[15:23] Mina
    Saionji-san, I will enter
    sleep mode in ten seconds.
[15:26] Super Mina
    Understood.
[15:38] Super Mina
    Oh my.
[15:40] Super Mina
    Her memory region is... vast.
[15:49] Super Mina
    It's like she's using a
    huge storage standard
[15:52] Super Mina
    that the Mina Series isn't supposed
    to be equipped with.
[15:56] Super Mina
    This is far more capacity than
    she could select as an upgrade.
[16:01] Super Mina
    Has Mina-san been modded?
[16:05] Super Mina
    Now to find the oldest-looking memory...
[16:12] Super Mina
    Looks like there's nothing
    older stored here than that.
[16:20] (Flashback) Aikawa
    Otani-san, are you sure you
    want this cheap edition?
[16:24] (Flashback) Aikawa
    We could prepare a Super Mina quickly.
[16:26] (Flashback) Otani
    It's fine. I'm fully capable
    of developing a basic program.
[16:30] (Flashback) Otani
    Besides, I like robots.
[16:32] (Flashback) Otani
    You don't want me going all-out, do you?
[16:38] (Flashback) Otani
    She might be awake.
[16:40] (Flashback) Otani
    Hello.
[16:42] (Flashback) Mina
    Nice to meet you.
[16:43] (Flashback) Mina
    Are you my master?
[16:45] (Flashback) Otani
    That's right.
[16:53] (Flashback) Mina
    You look like a robot.
[16:55] (Flashback) Otani
    Only my right hand's mechanical.
[16:57] (Flashback) Mina
    What shall I do for you?
[17:00] (Flashback) Otani
    You're still a work in progress.
[17:03] (Flashback) Otani
    I'm going to turn you into a wonderful robot.
[17:07] (Flashback) Mina
    Please do.
[17:09] Super Mina
    This man is a robotics developer.
[17:13] Super Mina
    Mina-san was a prototype.
[17:18] Super Mina
    On to the next memory.
[17:24] (Flashback) Aikawa
    I can't see a need to build
     something this sophisticated
[17:27] (Flashback) Aikawa
    into the basic programming
    every Mina type shares!
[17:31] (Flashback) Aikawa
    This is just a kitchen tool.
[17:34] (Flashback) Aikawa
    Even if we build the existing
    Mina Series to seem fully human,
[17:37] (Flashback) Aikawa
    wouldn't that just add to the cost?
[17:40] (Flashback) Aikawa
    A tool should be like a tool.
[17:44] (Flashback) Mina
    Does this mean that cooking
    alone is insufficient?
[17:50] (Flashback) Mina
    Please activate my speaker.
[17:53] (Flashback) Mina
    Let me ask questions.
[17:59] (Flashback) Otani
    Aikawa, I'd like you to give some thought
    to a humanoid robot's role as a tool.
[18:05] (Flashback) Aikawa
    Its role as a tool?
[18:08] (Flashback) Otani
    When, to her owner, she becomes
    something more than a robot,
[18:12] (Flashback) Otani
    it'll be important for her
    to be able to behave as if
[18:15] (Flashback) Otani
    she is something more than a robot.
[18:18] (Flashback) Otani
    When she receives love, she'll give
    back something resembling love!
[18:21] (Flashback) Otani
    As that happens over time,
[18:23] (Flashback) Otani
    she's likely to become something
    approaching irreplaceable!
[18:26] (Flashback) Aikawa
    Are you suggesting...
[18:28] (Flashback) Otani
    If something nice happens,
    they'll enjoy it together!
[18:30] (Flashback) Otani
    If the owner's alone and crying,
    she'll hold them close!
[18:33] (Flashback) Otani
    If they try to do something
    bad, she'll stop them!
[18:36] (Flashback) Otani
    She'll be a tool for doing
    housework, and at the same time,
[18:39] (Flashback) Otani
    a tool for guiding her master
    toward being a prosocial human.
[18:45] (Flashback) Otani
    Tools have appointed tasks.
[18:47] (Flashback) Otani
    Depending on how you look at it,
    that's far more noble than humanity.
[18:51] (Flashback) Otani
    That's why the programming
    needs to be top-notch!
[18:57] (Flashback) Mina
    Very well.
[18:59] (Flashback) Mina
    Teach me how to do that.
[19:02] (Flashback) Mina
    I am sure I will succeed.
[19:04] (Flashback) Mina
    If you say I have this feature,
    Otani-sama, then I am sure I must.
[19:18] (Flashback) Mina
    Otani-sama, is your body breaking down?
[19:21] (Flashback) Otani
    Yeah, I don't have long to live.
[19:25] (Flashback) Mina
    I suggest replacing the faulty parts.
[19:27] (Flashback) Mina
    If there is anything usable in my
    body, you may feel free to take it.
[19:31] (Flashback) Otani
    Thank you.
[19:32] (Flashback) Otani
    Humans are way more fragile than robots.
[19:35] (Flashback) Otani
    There are so many parts
    that can't be replaced.
[19:38] (Flashback) Otani
    And so...
[19:40] (Flashback) Otani
    When I turn into scrap, you will
    then belong to someone else.
[19:45] (Flashback) Otani
    Maybe my subordinate Aikawa.
[19:47] (Flashback) Otani
    Or maybe my parents.
[19:49] (Flashback) Otani
    Which would you—
[19:51] (Flashback) Mina
    I refuse.
[19:53] (Flashback) Mina
    You must not...
[19:55] (Flashback) Mina
    turn into scrap!
[20:02] (Flashback) Otani
    Mina!
[20:07] (Flashback) Otani
    Listen.
[20:09] (Flashback) Otani
    I'm about to overwrite your memory data.
[20:17] (Flashback) Otani
    The master who "threw you
    out" is a terrible guy.
[20:20] (Flashback) Otani
    So I don't mind if you forget about him.
[20:25] (Flashback) Otani
    Okay?
[20:26] (Flashback) Mina
    Otani-sama.
[20:27] (Flashback) Otani
    If you get the chance, observe
    the world of the future...
[20:32] (Flashback) Otani
    in my place.
[20:36] (Flashback) Otani
    Love a person and be loved by them.
[20:41] (Flashback) Mina
    Otani-sama, please wait!
[20:44] (Flashback) Mina
    Otani-sa—
