1. What happened to her?
Copy !req
2. Well, she just suddenly collapsed...
Copy !req
3. What on earth?
Copy !req
4. Did she faint from some sort of condition?
Copy !req
5. Huh?
Copy !req
6. You're the one who visits
our store all the time.
Copy !req
7. What's wrong?
Copy !req
8. Ah, I'm a huge idiot!
Copy !req
9. I ended up back here after doing
nothing but part-time work again!
Copy !req
10. If I showed them the drawings on my tablet,
Copy !req
11. I'm sure they'd ask me to make a
game with me as head illustrator!
Copy !req
12. I'm not cut out to be a protag at all!
Copy !req
13. Next time for sure!
Copy !req
14. I-I didn't realize she was so unstable.
Copy !req
15. I still have a chance!
Copy !req
16. Good things come in threes!
Copy !req
17. I know I can return to the past again!
Copy !req
18. 16bit Sensation:
Another Layer
Copy !req
19. 16bit Sensation:
Another Layer
Copy !req
20. The games I got from that granny's shop...
Copy !req
21. Both times I opened the boxes,
I was sent back into the past.
Copy !req
22. The first date was before Christmas 1992,
Copy !req
23. and the second date was...
Copy !req
24. the day Kizuato came out: July 26, 1996.
Copy !req
25. The release date for Doukyuusei was...
Copy !req
26. December 17, 1992!
Copy !req
27. I knew it!
Copy !req
28. I'm going back to the day that
the game I open came out!
Copy !req
29. And whenever I open a
package, it disappears!
Copy !req
30. That's right!
Copy !req
31. That must be how it works!
Copy !req
32. I should try opening another
game, just to make sure.
Copy !req
33. I should pick a game that's as close as
possible to when I went back before.
Copy !req
34. There!
Copy !req
35. I can't travel back in time
with just any ordinary game.
Copy !req
36. It has to be a game from that shop...
Copy !req
37. Why are there so many games missing?
Copy !req
38. What games did I have here again?
Copy !req
39. Could it be that history has changed?
Copy !req
40. Is this because of what I did?
Copy !req
41. Nuh-uh! That can't be it!
Copy !req
42. That can't be it! No way!
Copy !req
43. I mean, all I did was work
part-time for Alcohol Soft!
Copy !req
44. Seriously, I haven't done a single thing!
Copy !req
45. But if something I did in
the past caused this...
Copy !req
46. Maybe I should just stop...
Copy !req
47. It's all too...
Copy !req
48. I'm so sick of my job...
Copy !req
49. No, no!
Copy !req
50. I wanna go back to Alcohol Soft!
Copy !req
51. I wanna see everyone from
Alcohol Soft again!
Copy !req
52. Maybe one more time wouldn't hurt...
Copy !req
53. I get it now!
Copy !req
54. I won't do anything!
Copy !req
55. I'll lay nice and low, like
a fugitive on the run!
Copy !req
56. I bet it's just coincidence
that my games went missing!
Copy !req
57. That's right!
Copy !req
58. It must have been a burglar
who only steals eroge!
Copy !req
59. I'll just lay low this time around!
Copy !req
60. The game closest to when
I went back last time...
Copy !req
61. This one?
Copy !req
62. Kanon, released on June 4, 1999!
Copy !req
63. Uguu!
Copy !req
64. There's one month left until July,
Copy !req
65. when Nostradamus predicted a great
King of Terror would appear!
Copy !req
66. The year 1999!
Copy !req
67. What?
Copy !req
68. Alcohol Soft is gone!
Copy !req
69. Th-This is my company's...
Copy !req
70. Blue Bell's office building!
Copy !req
71. Did I fail to go back in time?
Copy !req
72. Do you have some business with us?
Copy !req
73. What? Kono-chan?
Copy !req
74. Kao-san!
Copy !req
75. Kono-chan!
Copy !req
76. Kaori-san!
Copy !req
77. You went and disappeared on us again!
Copy !req
78. Goodness!
Copy !req
79. You haven't changed a bit, Kono-chan!
Copy !req
80. It's amazing how you look exactly the same!
Copy !req
81. What have you been up to?
Copy !req
82. U-Um...
Copy !req
83. Well, you could say I went to
go get a change of clothes...
Copy !req
84. Three years to go change clothes?
Copy !req
85. You sure are a joker.
Copy !req
86. Wanna work part-time again?
Copy !req
87. I always make the weirdest appearances,
but they're welcoming me with open arms!
Copy !req
88. I'm so happy!
Copy !req
89. Everyone's so nice here!
Copy !req
90. Alcohol Soft turned into this huge building?
Copy !req
91. That's right.
Copy !req
92. As part of the redevelopment
here in Akihabara.
Copy !req
93. Just look at how much space we
have now in our development room.
Copy !req
94. Ta-dah!
Copy !req
95. Game cabinets!
Copy !req
96. Arcade! It's an arcade!
Copy !req
97. All of it is thanks to
our game becoming a hit!
Copy !req
98. You know, the game you
helped us make, Horoscope!
Copy !req
99. We ended up selling over 100,000 copies!
Copy !req
100. We released a sequel
as well as a fandisc...
Copy !req
101. I never thought we'd put out a fandisc!
Copy !req
102. Booyah!
Copy !req
103. We hired more people as well!
Copy !req
104. I'm Hashimoto, in charge of marketing.
Copy !req
105. I also manage the fan club.
Copy !req
106. I'm Kikiko, scenario writer!
Copy !req
107. I'm Lalako!
Copy !req
108. We're twins!
Copy !req
109. Are those your real names?
Copy !req
110. They're our pen names!
Copy !req
111. My real name is Senri Koyama.
Copy !req
112. Mine is Mari.
Copy !req
113. Call us Kikilala!
Copy !req
114. We're not done yet!
Copy !req
115. I'm Yuki, on the graphics team.
Copy !req
116. I'm Kamiyama.
Copy !req
117. I'm Minamizato.
Copy !req
118. I'm Haruhiko, in charge of music.
Copy !req
119. So is she the legendary
phantom staff member?
Copy !req
120. That's right.
Copy !req
121. Kono-chan is a mysterious graphic artist
who shows up once every few years.
Copy !req
122. She may not look it, but she's a
real veteran here at this company!
Copy !req
123. Isn't that right, Kono-chan?
Copy !req
124. Th-That's right!
Copy !req
125. I may not look it, but I'm a real
veteran here at this company!
Copy !req
126. Ahem!
Copy !req
127. Let me introduce myself.
Copy !req
128. My name is Konoha Akisato!
Copy !req
129. My favorite food is anything sweet!
Copy !req
130. My specialty is doing impressions of
a VTuber reading off Super Chats!
Copy !req
131. Wow! Thanks, everyone!
Copy !req
132. It's nice to meet all of you!
Copy !req
133. I-It's nice to meet you.
Copy !req
134. And back there, feeling totally out of place,
is our veteran old-timer staff member!
Copy !req
135. Who're you calling an old-timer?
Copy !req
136. M-Mamoru-kun...
Copy !req
137. H-Hey there.
Copy !req
138. R-Rocking the glasses look, huh?
Copy !req
139. Mamoru-kun's looking even older now!
Copy !req
140. And way scarier to boot!
Copy !req
141. How many times are you going
to show up like this?
Copy !req
142. Huh?
Copy !req
143. Vanishing out of the blue like you did,
Copy !req
144. only to show up again, out of the blue.
Copy !req
145. At least tell me how it all works.
Copy !req
146. Y-You see, Mamoru-kun...
Copy !req
147. I figured it out!
Copy !req
148. How the time travel works!
Copy !req
149. What?
Copy !req
150. See, when I open up a game...
Copy !req
151. A game?
Copy !req
152. How's it hangin'?
Copy !req
153. You folks better not be goofing off!
Copy !req
154. Manager!
Copy !req
155. The only one goofing off here is you!
Copy !req
156. You're always out of the office partying!
Copy !req
157. Just look at that awful getup!
Copy !req
158. The spitting image of a president
who's suddenly got cash to burn.
Copy !req
159. Whoa, harsh words there, missy!
Copy !req
160. But I've got just the thing to shut you up!
Copy !req
161. Hear me out, Kaori!
Copy !req
162. I'm about to say something amazing!
Copy !req
163. What is it?
Copy !req
164. Spare us the theatrics
and spit it out already!
Copy !req
165. Our game...
Copy !req
166. is going to be released on console!
Copy !req
167. What? On console?
Copy !req
168. C-Console...
Copy !req
169. Don't give me that nonsense!
Copy !req
170. I'm not joking here!
Copy !req
171. Take it away, Gaya-san!
Copy !req
172. Heya!
Copy !req
173. I'm Ichigaya, from Diamond Studio!
Copy !req
174. What?
Copy !req
175. Wait, by Ichigaya, do you mean
the one and only Ichigaya-san?
Copy !req
176. He created the Fire Dragon series!
Copy !req
177. Even I've heard of him!
Copy !req
178. I've spent so much time on those games!
Copy !req
179. Wow!
Copy !req
180. A celebrity!
Copy !req
181. What's he doing here?
Copy !req
182. Mamoru-kun, who's that?
Copy !req
183. I vaguely recall that name.
Copy !req
184. I've been a long time fan of Alcohol Soft!
Copy !req
185. I played your latest game, Horoscope.
Copy !req
186. It was wonderful!
Copy !req
187. I can just see it now!
Copy !req
188. We're about to enter the age of bishojo!
Copy !req
189. Console ports of bishojo games have
been thriving for a while now!
Copy !req
190. The Mystery of Nonomura Hospital!
Copy !req
191. Doukyuusei! Kakyuusei!
Copy !req
192. YU-NO!
Copy !req
193. Can Can Bunny Premiere 2!
Copy !req
194. They've all been hits!
Copy !req
195. However!
Copy !req
196. The morons in the industry have been
turning a blind eye to that fact!
Copy !req
197. Refusing to acknowledge bishojo while
using them to rake in the cash!
Copy !req
198. You may be right.
Copy !req
199. There are a lot of folks who
are ashamed of bishojo.
Copy !req
200. However!
Copy !req
201. The times are changing!
Copy !req
202. In this economic recession, bishojo
are the one thing continuing to grow!
Copy !req
203. They're booming like crazy!
Copy !req
204. The biggest genre of the 21st
century is going to be bishojo!
Copy !req
205. I guarantee it!
Copy !req
206. We at Diamond Studio have a proven
record of porting games over to console.
Copy !req
207. Won't you trust us with producing the
port of Alcohol Soft's Horoscope?
Copy !req
208. It'll be a masterpiece that surpasses
the console version of To Heart!
Copy !req
209. Everyone from Alcohol Soft,
let us join hands...
Copy !req
210. Gaya-san!
Copy !req
211. And start a worldwide revolution!
Copy !req
212. That's all from me!
Copy !req
213. Well? Well?
Copy !req
214. Isn't it amazing?
Copy !req
215. The famous Ichigaya!
Copy !req
216. What a surprise!
Copy !req
217. I had no idea you knew a celebrity like him!
Copy !req
218. Well... I guess it was a little surprising.
Copy !req
219. I wasn't just drinking myself
silly for nothing out there!
Copy !req
220. I'm expanding my network every day!
Copy !req
221. You'll say yes to the port, right?
Copy !req
222. I'm all for it!
Copy !req
223. Well, there doesn't seem
to be any downside for us.
Copy !req
224. Sure, why not.
Copy !req
225. Wow! Amazing!
Copy !req
226. We're gonna go mainstream with this!
Copy !req
227. A console game!
Copy !req
228. Wow!
Copy !req
229. I wonder what platform they'll target!
Copy !req
230. Kono-chan!
Copy !req
231. Meiko-san!
Copy !req
232. We did it!
Copy !req
233. A console game! Console!
Copy !req
234. It's like I'm in a dream!
Copy !req
235. You're not dreaming!
Copy !req
236. It is my dream, though!
Copy !req
237. It wasn't just a dream!
Copy !req
238. And so, when I open up one of these
games, I travel back in time.
Copy !req
239. Not that I know why it happens.
Copy !req
240. And you end up on the day
that the game was released?
Copy !req
241. Mamoru-kun, do you know how it works?
Copy !req
242. How the hell would I?
Copy !req
243. Maybe I should try opening another one.
Copy !req
244. Stop it!
Copy !req
245. What if it sends you back further in time?
Copy !req
246. Y-You're right...
Copy !req
247. U-Um...
Copy !req
248. Um, like, you see...
Copy !req
249. There's one teensy thing that's weird.
Copy !req
250. What is it?
Copy !req
251. Every time I go back,
Copy !req
252. there are games missing from my place.
Copy !req
253. My eroge.
Copy !req
254. Do you mean they disappeared?
Copy !req
255. I-It's probably just a burglar
who only steals eroge!
Copy !req
256. Are there burglars like that in the future?
Copy !req
257. N-Not really...
Copy !req
258. Then don't mention it!
Copy !req
259. M-Maybe I've been changing history...
Copy !req
260. The possibility...
Copy !req
261. made me a little bit scared.
Copy !req
262. Hey, weren't you the one who told me
Copy !req
263. that it's okay to change history?
Copy !req
264. M-Maybe I did...
Copy !req
265. What was the point of that, then?
Copy !req
266. W-Well, seeing those games disappear
right off my shelf took me by surprise.
Copy !req
267. I mean, I'm sure it's totally unrelated!
Copy !req
268. Well, I'm sure you wouldn't get it!
Copy !req
269. Guess you could call it
a time traveler problem.
Copy !req
270. You really get on my nerves.
Copy !req
271. In that case, why did you come here?
Copy !req
272. Huh?
Copy !req
273. If you don't want to change
history, why did you come here?
Copy !req
274. Th-That's because...
Copy !req
275. I-I wanted to meet the people here!
Copy !req
276. Everyone at Alcohol Soft!
Copy !req
277. The truth is, I came here because
I wanted to make a game!
Copy !req
278. Same goes for last time!
Copy !req
279. But it's fine now if I don't get to!
Copy !req
280. I'm trying to behave myself!
Copy !req
281. I won't change history, and I don't
mind if all I do is part-time work!
Copy !req
282. I won't even talk to anyone!
Copy !req
283. There's no way you can pull that off.
Copy !req
284. Whoa!
Copy !req
285. You think I'm just a big, fat wimp!
Copy !req
286. That's wimp discrimination!
Copy !req
287. It's impossible.
Copy !req
288. Besides, what's the point in doing that?
Copy !req
289. What exactly did you come here to do?
Copy !req
290. W-Well...
Copy !req
291. Okay, let's decide on what everyone
will be doing for the console port.
Copy !req
292. I'll be the director...
Copy !req
293. The director of a console game!
Copy !req
294. Next, Mei-chan will do the
designs for two new characters.
Copy !req
295. Sure thing!
Copy !req
296. How nerve-wracking...
Copy !req
297. Hey, how come I'm not in
charge of the new scenarios?
Copy !req
298. I did the original scenario for this game!
Copy !req
299. I know you'll add in sex scenes, so no way!
Copy !req
300. You focus on fixing up the main scenario!
Copy !req
301. The new story segments will
be left to Kikilala-chan!
Copy !req
302. 'Kay!
Copy !req
303. They're our writers for all-ages content!
Copy !req
304. How wishy-washy!
Copy !req
305. Mamocchi.
Copy !req
306. You'll handle the system, won't you?
Copy !req
307. Mamocchi!
Copy !req
308. Are you paying attention?
Copy !req
309. Y-Yeah, got it.
Copy !req
310. Diamond will be lending us a
specialized development kit,
Copy !req
311. so I don't foresee any problems.
Copy !req
312. You're not going to be developing
on a DOS/V machine?
Copy !req
313. It's finally time for you
to make your debut, huh?
Copy !req
314. I'll be working on a PC-98, of course.
Copy !req
315. Also, for a console release,
Copy !req
316. we'll need to make an animated opening,
Copy !req
317. and hire voice actresses
to voice the characters...
Copy !req
318. Um, Konoha-san.
Copy !req
319. You're really okay with performing
chores as a part-timer?
Copy !req
320. Yes!
Copy !req
321. Just let me know if you
have any errands for me!
Copy !req
322. Why are you whispering?
Copy !req
323. Oh, don't mind me!
Copy !req
324. I'm just trying to influence
things as little as possible!
Copy !req
325. Influence?
Copy !req
326. Okay, I think that covers
it for today's meeting!
Copy !req
327. Kono-chan?
Copy !req
328. Why do you have a mop?
Copy !req
329. Konoha-san insisted strongly on
being assigned to cleaning duty.
Copy !req
330. That's right.
Copy !req
331. Why?
Copy !req
332. We've got plenty of
illustration work for you.
Copy !req
333. Well, it's just for this once...
Copy !req
334. How should the additional characters look?
Copy !req
335. Let me think...
Copy !req
336. Kyonshi-san!
Copy !req
337. Please give it some proper thought!
Copy !req
338. I'm thinking!
Copy !req
339. Hurry!
Copy !req
340. Yeah, yeah.
Copy !req
341. One "yes" will do!
Copy !req
342. Yeah, yeah...
Copy !req
343. This is nice...
Copy !req
344. Dad, are you really going forward
with the console release?
Copy !req
345. Huh?
Copy !req
346. You bet I am!
Copy !req
347. Isn't this what you wanted?
Copy !req
348. I know you used to hate eroge.
Copy !req
349. All that talk of working
on something way bigger!
Copy !req
350. A port wasn't what I had in mind.
Copy !req
351. Now's your chance to strut your stuff!
Copy !req
352. Things are about to get busy!
Copy !req
353. Gaya-san!
Copy !req
354. Ah, Gaya-san?
Copy !req
355. I'm down! I'm down!
Copy !req
356. Where are you right now?
Copy !req
357. See ya!
Copy !req
358. I am a maid! Your very own maid!
Copy !req
359. Cleaning, laundry, cooking, hm-hm-hmm!
Copy !req
360. Mamoru-kun?
Copy !req
361. Mamoru-kun!
Copy !req
362. Hey, didn't you say you were going
to steer clear of everyone?
Copy !req
363. You don't count, Mamoru-kun!
Copy !req
364. I can finally talk normally!
Copy !req
365. Everyone's real fired up
about the console game!
Copy !req
366. How nice...
Copy !req
367. Yeah.
Copy !req
368. It's been a while since I've
seen Dad so motivated.
Copy !req
369. He's been out of the loop on
company matters for a while.
Copy !req
370. He can't keep up with all the changes
bishojo games have been going through.
Copy !req
371. All he does every night is go out drinking.
Copy !req
372. I don't think he knows the first
thing about Windows games.
Copy !req
373. I guess the Windows phobia
runs in the family!
Copy !req
374. Which is why, with this console game offer,
Copy !req
375. Dad must have wanted to show Kaori and
Meiko that he could still be useful.
Copy !req
376. Hey.
Copy !req
377. What do you think about a console release?
Copy !req
378. Huh?
Copy !req
379. Never mind.
Copy !req
380. I know I shouldn't ask you.
Copy !req
381. A console release sounds great to me!
Copy !req
382. I'd totally go for it!
Copy !req
383. Everyone in the office
is so excited about it!
Copy !req
384. Are you really gonna stick
to doing menial tasks?
Copy !req
385. I thought you wanted to make a game.
Copy !req
386. Deep down, I want to work on the game, too.
Copy !req
387. But everyone else is trying so hard,
without time travel or anything.
Copy !req
388. It doesn't feel right for
me to butt in on that.
Copy !req
389. I'm just fine handling the chores!
Copy !req
390. No matter the era I'm in, this
is what it's like for me!
Copy !req
391. Ow, ow...
Copy !req
392. Ah, this sucks!
Copy !req
393. All of my hard work!
Copy !req
394. Wait...
Copy !req
