Copy !req
3. We've got a hit on our hands for sure!
Copy !req
4. It's real filthy, dirty smut!
Copy !req
5. Yes, of course!
Copy !req
6. We should definitely go drinking again!
Copy !req
7. Why this?
Copy !req
8. I traveled back in time, so why?
Copy !req
9. Why am I back to doing
lowly illustrator work?
Copy !req
10. I was instantly transported into the
world of 1992 Akiba, made a game,
Copy !req
11. and then I came back just as instantly...
Copy !req
12. After that,
Copy !req
13. I sprinted as fast as I could
to where Alcohol Soft was...
Copy !req
14. But all I found was my own workplace!
Copy !req
15. I'm sick of painting back
views of faceless characters!
Copy !req
16. Good job today.
Copy !req
17. I'll be taking my leave now.
Copy !req
18. Ever since then, to be ready
in case I travel back in time again,
Copy !req
19. I packed my bag with some money,
a change of clothes, and snacks,
Copy !req
20. but nothing's happened!
Copy !req
21. This is the worst of the worst...
Copy !req
22. It wasn't a dream.
Copy !req
23. I really did work on this game!
Copy !req
24. I tried calling Alcohol Soft,
but the number didn't work.
Copy !req
25. I finally finished this CG!
Copy !req
26. I made it with just 16 colors!
Copy !req
27. Congratulations!
Copy !req
28. Everyone! It's complete!
Copy !req
29. Hooray!
Copy !req
30. Hooray! Hooray!
Copy !req
31. Maybe it really was all a dream...
Copy !req
32. I finally had my chance, and all
I did was paint some CGs and leave!
Copy !req
33. I'm so stupid!
Copy !req
34. If it was just a dream, I should
have drawn some line art!
Copy !req
35. Huh?
Copy !req
36. What happened to the games I had here?
Copy !req
37. Alcohol Soft?
Copy !req
38. Ah, I seem to remember an
old brand with that name.
Copy !req
39. I can't imagine they still exist.
Copy !req
40. There aren't many game companies
from the DOS era still around.
Copy !req
41. Are you looking for that?
Copy !req
42. We stopped carrying DOS titles a while back.
Copy !req
43. Except for the extremely popular ones...
Copy !req
44. Alcohol Soft?
Copy !req
45. Never heard of them.
Copy !req
46. I'm not familiar with them.
Copy !req
47. I've checked a bunch of
stores, but zero leads.
Copy !req
48. Maybe it was all in my head,
Copy !req
49. because I wanted to make a game so badly.
Copy !req
50. No, no, no, no!
Copy !req
51. That was real!
Copy !req
52. Totally real!
Copy !req
53. Okay!
Copy !req
54. I need to remember what I did that day!
Copy !req
55. If I follow the same steps,
Copy !req
56. I might be able to go back in time again!
Copy !req
57. It's just a hunch, though!
Copy !req
58. I swear...
Copy !req
59. That day, the prez rejected
my idea for a game...
Copy !req
60. The microwave was broken,
so I went out for lunch...
Copy !req
61. Visited a shrine...
Copy !req
62. Then...
Copy !req
63. That's right!
Copy !req
64. I received those games
from that granny here!
Copy !req
65. But that shop isn't here anymore...
Copy !req
66. I forgot I had the games
she gave me in here.
Copy !req
67. Kizuato...
Copy !req
68. Hey!
Copy !req
69. Stop!
Copy !req
70. Stop!
Copy !req
71. That's my copy of Kizuato!
Copy !req
72. Why, you!
Copy !req
73. Frigging dog!
Copy !req
74. Making me run all over for you!
Copy !req
75. E-Excuse me, what year is it?
Copy !req
76. What?
Copy !req
77. I-It's 1996.
Copy !req
78. 1996?
Copy !req
79. Could it be?
Copy !req
80. It very well could be!
Copy !req
81. Alcohol Soft!
Copy !req
82. I did it!
Copy !req
83. I traveled back in time again!
Copy !req
84. No way in hell!
Copy !req
85. Magazines?
Copy !req
86. I'm done with this place!
Copy !req
87. Mamoru-kun?
Copy !req
88. You're Mamoru-kun, right?
Copy !req
89. It's me, Konoha!
Copy !req
90. Hey! Mamoru-kun!
Copy !req
91. Mamoru-kun!
Copy !req
92. Mamocchi!
Copy !req
93. Meiko-san! Kaori-san!
Copy !req
94. What?
Copy !req
95. Kono-chan?
Copy !req
96. I've missed you so much!
Copy !req
97. Kono-chan!
Copy !req
98. Why are you soaking wet?
Copy !req
99. Who was she, again?
Copy !req
100. It's Kono-chan!
Copy !req
101. The part-timer from a long time ago!
Copy !req
102. Oh, I remember now.
Copy !req
103. The girl who called herself a time traveler.
Copy !req
104. She was still alive?
Copy !req
105. Why did you suddenly disappear?
Copy !req
106. That's right.
Copy !req
107. We didn't even get a chance to pay you.
Copy !req
108. We were worried sick about you!
Copy !req
109. I didn't know how to get here,
Copy !req
110. but I finally made it back!
Copy !req
111. What?
Copy !req
112. Are you saying you lost directions
to this place for four years?
Copy !req
113. You've gotta be kidding!
Copy !req
114. We would have come and found
you if you'd called us.
Copy !req
115. Four years later...
Copy !req
116. Um!
Copy !req
117. I know this is sudden,
Copy !req
118. but please let me work here again!
Copy !req
119. What?
Copy !req
120. I want to make games at this company!
Copy !req
121. That really did come out of nowhere.
Copy !req
122. You went missing for four years, and
now you want to work with us again?
Copy !req
123. But, but...
Copy !req
124. I wanted to work here again!
Copy !req
125. I've been trying all this
time to come back here!
Copy !req
126. All this time, for four years?
Copy !req
127. Well, you say four years, but it was
really more like a week or so...
Copy !req
128. Um...
Copy !req
129. Don't do it.
Copy !req
130. We should kick her to the curb, pronto.
Copy !req
131. Yeah, she's only become more of a menace.
Copy !req
132. Listen to me, Kono-chan.
Copy !req
133. The environment we're working in has
changed a lot since you were here.
Copy !req
134. Environment?
Copy !req
135. Yeah.
Copy !req
136. The next Alcohol Soft game is
going to be made for Windows.
Copy !req
137. What? Windows?
Copy !req
138. You've heard of it, haven't you?
Copy !req
139. It's selling like hotcakes now,
Copy !req
140. so we're thinking of making our next game
on Windows instead of just for the PC-98.
Copy !req
141. The way we paint CGs and
all has changed, too.
Copy !req
142. I-I know all about Windows!
Copy !req
143. I use Win10 everyday!
Copy !req
144. Win10?
Copy !req
145. Looks like the times have
finally caught up with me!
Copy !req
146. Behold!
Copy !req
147. My drawings that I made in Photoshop!
Copy !req
148. I-It won't turn on!
Copy !req
149. Because I fell into the pool?
Copy !req
150. No way!
Copy !req
151. Kick her out! Kick her out!
Copy !req
152. Okay, Kono-chan.
Copy !req
153. Can I ask you to act as
detective for Mamocchi?
Copy !req
154. Detective?
Copy !req
155. Hey! You're hiring her?
Copy !req
156. By "detective," I mean someone to bring
troublesome employees back to the office.
Copy !req
157. Please find Mamocchi and
bring him back here!
Copy !req
158. What?
Copy !req
159. You see, the development of our
game is currently on hold.
Copy !req
160. Mamoru-kun says he doesn't want
to make games on Windows.
Copy !req
161. He said he'll quit unless
it's a PC-98 exclusive.
Copy !req
162. Mamocchi's the only programmer we have.
Copy !req
163. Without him, we can't make any games.
Copy !req
164. Grr...
Copy !req
165. They're sticking me with the chores again!
Copy !req
166. Why am I stuck in this
loop of part-time work?
Copy !req
167. But without Mamoru-kun here,
there won't be any game dev to speak of!
Copy !req
168. I'll take up the mantle of
detective for Mamoru-kun!
Copy !req
169. Super cop Konoha is on the case!
Copy !req
170. She really is a menace...
Copy !req
171. I'll have him back here in a sec!
Copy !req
172. Kao-san, you're bringing her on?
Copy !req
173. Just like last time, I can't
say no to that energy of hers.
Copy !req
174. She hasn't changed a bit.
Copy !req
175. I wonder what she was up to
these past four years...
Copy !req
176. That was PUFFY's hit single, "True Asia."
Copy !req
177. They say, "Wear your finest sandals
in Ssearch of an older wife."
Copy !req
178. I'm still looking for a
marriage partner in sandals!
Copy !req
179. So hot...
Copy !req
180. Alcohol Soft?
Copy !req
181. Ah, I seem to remember an
old brand with that name.
Copy !req
182. I can't imagine they still exist.
Copy !req
183. Is the reason because Mamoru-kun
ended up quitting?
Copy !req
184. Mamoru-kun!
Copy !req
185. Where are you?
Copy !req
186. Both of these titles go on sale today!
Copy !req
187. That's right.
Copy !req
188. Cocktail Soft
Copy !req
189. Kizuato and Pia Carrot both
released on the same day.
Copy !req
190. I've been reading up on old
bishojo games on Wiki this past week.
Copy !req
191. I'm practically an authority
on eroge by now!
Copy !req
192. The internet sure is handy!
Copy !req
193. U-Um, can I ask you a weird question?
Copy !req
194. Y-Yes!
Copy !req
195. Um... so...
Copy !req
196. Well... could it be...
Copy !req
197. that you've bought a bishojo game before?
Copy !req
198. U-Um...
Copy !req
199. Yeah, lots of them.
Copy !req
200. Pretty much every week.
Copy !req
201. I knew it!
Copy !req
202. U-Um, would you come with me
to buy some games over there?
Copy !req
203. G-Go with you? Wh-Why?
Copy !req
204. H-How do I put it...
Copy !req
205. You seem like you're used to
buying those kinds of games.
Copy !req
206. Do I really look like
I buy eroge all the time?
Copy !req
207. E-Ero...
Copy !req
208. Th-Th-Th-That's not what I meant!
Copy !req
209. You just looked so confident,
even in a place like this.
Copy !req
210. A place like this?
Copy !req
211. You mean a video game store?
Copy !req
212. C'mon, it's not any kind of
seedy shop or anything...
Copy !req
213. Wait, are you under the age of 18?
Copy !req
214. Oh, no, I'm 19!
Copy !req
215. There's no issue with my age!
Copy !req
216. I just can't work up the
courage to enter the store...
Copy !req
217. Then you should just go
on Amazon or Getchu...
Copy !req
218. Wait, those don't exist yet!
Copy !req
219. Wh-What do I do?
Copy !req
220. I should be looking for Mamoru-kun...
Copy !req
221. Still...
Copy !req
222. Sure thing!
Copy !req
223. Let's go in together!
Copy !req
224. Y-Yes!
Copy !req
225. Okay, off we go.
Copy !req
226. U-Um...
Copy !req
227. My name is Toya Yamada.
Copy !req
228. N-Nice to meet you!
Copy !req
229. Oh yeah, I forgot to introduce myself!
Copy !req
230. I'm Konoha Akisato!
Copy !req
231. You'll be fine!
Copy !req
232. There's nothing scary about eroge!
Copy !req
233. I've actually never been
inside Messe Sanoh, either!
Copy !req
234. My first time at Sanoh!
Copy !req
235. She's shaking in fear!
Copy !req
236. That's adorable!
Copy !req
237. A reward event this juicy
is rare even for eroge!
Copy !req
238. Look, they've got lots of games for sale!
Copy !req
239. Oh, they have them!
Copy !req
240. Pia Carrot and Kizuato!
Copy !req
241. You got them!
Copy !req
242. Yes!
Copy !req
243. I'm so glad.
Copy !req
244. I read about these two
games on the NIFTY forums,
Copy !req
245. and I really wanted to play them!
Copy !req
246. Good for you!
Copy !req
247. Th-Thank you very much!
Copy !req
248. It's fine, it's fine!
Copy !req
249. Don't worry about it!
Copy !req
250. Do you come to Akihabara often?
Copy !req
251. Ah, yeah.
Copy !req
252. I'm always here, I guess?
Copy !req
253. Oh, yeah!
Copy !req
254. I should really get going!
Copy !req
255. Well, enjoy your games!
Copy !req
256. Bye-bye!
Copy !req
257. Man, she sure was a cutie.
Copy !req
258. I guess in this era, you didn't find
a lot of girls in those kinds of stores.
Copy !req
259. Ah! Mamoru-kun!
Copy !req
260. Stare.
Copy !req
261. Suspect in sight.
Copy !req
262. Mamoru sure has grown up.
Copy !req
263. Last time I met him, he was 15.
Copy !req
264. So now he's... 19?
Copy !req
265. We're the same age now!
Copy !req
266. Look at you all, real fine and handsome...
Copy !req
267. Oh! What a find!
Copy !req
268. A 98 VM!
Copy !req
269. You must have worked real hard...
Copy !req
270. Mamoru-kun's talking to the used PCs
with such kindness in his eyes...
Copy !req
271. What a creepy kid.
Copy !req
272. I hate to interrupt him
in the middle of this...
Copy !req
273. Mamoru-kun, you're under arrest!
Copy !req
274. J-Just kidding...
Copy !req
275. Mamoru-kun, it's been a while!
Copy !req
276. You still remember me, don't you?
Copy !req
277. I've never seen you in my life.
Copy !req
278. What?
Copy !req
279. Didn't we make a game together?
Copy !req
280. I've never had so much fun
making a game before!
Copy !req
281. I don't want to remember any of
the games we made in the past.
Copy !req
282. Uguu...
Copy !req
283. I-I guess you don't remember it as fondly...
Copy !req
284. So much for that enthusiasm of yours...
Copy !req
285. Disappearing on us like that...
Copy !req
286. Eh?
Copy !req
287. Do you think she'll bring him back?
Copy !req
288. Huh?
Copy !req
289. Oh, you mean Kono-chan and Mamoru-kun?
Copy !req
290. That's right.
Copy !req
291. Mamoru-kun's passion for the
PC-98 is the real deal.
Copy !req
292. But if she doesn't bring him back,
we can't transition over to Windows.
Copy !req
293. We can just hire someone else.
Copy !req
294. Just because he's the manager's son,
Copy !req
295. we're the ones who have been
relying on him all this time.
Copy !req
296. That may be true...
Copy !req
297. but I know that Kono-chan
will bring him back!
Copy !req
298. M-Mamoru-kun!
Copy !req
299. Mamoru-kun, let's go back!
Copy !req
300. I don't know how long I can stay here.
Copy !req
301. So I wanna go back soon and make some games!
Copy !req
302. Just how demanding can you be?
Copy !req
303. Why do I have to make games for your sake?
Copy !req
304. I won't develop any games for Windows.
Copy !req
305. I only make games for the PC-98.
Copy !req
306. Go find someone else.
Copy !req
307. Does it really matter that much
whether it's PC-98 or Windows?
Copy !req
308. Come over here for a minute!
Copy !req
309. Pop quiz.
Copy !req
310. What?
Copy !req
311. Explain what all of these rear
ports are, one by one.
Copy !req
312. What?
Copy !req
313. If you get everything right, I'll go back.
Copy !req
314. Um...
Copy !req
315. Th-That one's a power plug!
Copy !req
316. Anyone could figure that one out.
Copy !req
317. Th-Then there's...
Copy !req
318. Um, um...
Copy !req
319. Wh-Who cares if I don't know what they are?
Copy !req
320. I can draw pictures just fine either way!
Copy !req
321. That's what they all say.
Copy !req
322. We live in a time where the people buying
computers don't know anything about them.
Copy !req
323. And what's more, it's people
like them who are making games!
Copy !req
324. It's so messed up!
Copy !req
325. Listen up.
Copy !req
326. Programming is about
tinkering with machines!
Copy !req
327. It's a conversation with the machine!
Copy !req
328. Hey there, 98 VM-kun!
Copy !req
329. Can you run this program for me?
Copy !req
330. Your 256KB of memory
ought to be enough, right?
Copy !req
331. There, you managed it!
Copy !req
332. You did a great job!
Copy !req
333. I-I can't stop shivering, Mamoru-kun.
Copy !req
334. This is what programming is.
Copy !req
335. But now there's this thing called
Windows trying to butt in.
Copy !req
336. That means you can't talk
directly to the PC-98 anymore!
Copy !req
337. B-But Windows is so convenient!
Copy !req
338. I don't know how to use
anything other than Windows!
Copy !req
339. That's why you don't understand
how computers work!
Copy !req
340. Kaori and Meiko are going
to follow suit, right?
Copy !req
341. Help yourselves!
Copy !req
342. I've had enough!
Copy !req
343. It's PC-98 or nothing for me!
Copy !req
344. Mamoru-kun...
Copy !req
345. What now?
Copy !req
346. That...
Copy !req
347. What?
Copy !req
348. That's great!
Copy !req
349. Huh?
Copy !req
350. I think that's really great, Mamoru-kun!
Copy !req
351. You're the best!
Copy !req
352. You love the PC-98 so much!
Copy !req
353. I've never met anyone who was so
passionate about making games!
Copy !req
354. No, everyone else at
Alcohol Soft is the same!
Copy !req
355. No one at my company ever says anything...
Copy !req
356. None of them would ever argue like this.
Copy !req
357. That's why I wanted to come back here!
Copy !req
358. I wanted to see all of you again!
Copy !req
359. What are you saying?
Copy !req
360. I was assigned as a detective for you!
Copy !req
361. I promised them I'd bring you back!
Copy !req
362. I'll do it if they make
it a PC-98 exclusive.
Copy !req
363. Other than that, not a chance.
Copy !req
364. That's all there is to it.
Copy !req
365. Mamoru-kun!
Copy !req
366. Are you really a time traveler?
Copy !req
367. What?
Copy !req
368. Of course I don't actually
believe you are one.
Copy !req
369. But if it's true...
Copy !req
370. Don't you dare do anything.
Copy !req
371. Time travelers aren't supposed
to change history, right?
Copy !req
372. In that case, don't interfere
with what I do, either.
Copy !req
373. I'll make sure I capture you!
Copy !req
374. Fugitive Mamoru-kun!
Copy !req
