1. Our game...
Copy !req
2. is going to be released on console!
Copy !req
3. Everyone from Alcohol Soft,
let us join hands...
Copy !req
4. And start a worldwide revolution!
Copy !req
5. Come over
Kogyaru Club
Copy !req
6. This is a cosplay club run by Ichigaya.
Copy !req
7. Maybe it's time I looked
into this Ichigaya...
Copy !req
8. Alcohol Soft is real busy working on
the console port with Diamond Studio!
Copy !req
9. I'm so jealous!
Copy !req
10. I want to make a game with my art,
Copy !req
11. and port it over to console, too!
Copy !req
12. But look at me...
Copy !req
13. Kogyaru Club
Copy !req
14. Why am I out here on a stakeout?
Copy !req
15. Just to double-check, but
I'm a time traveler!
Copy !req
16. I am, right?
Copy !req
17. Starting tomorrow, you'll
be staking out this club.
Copy !req
18. Huh? Why me?
Copy !req
19. Isn't it obvious?
Copy !req
20. No one will miss you if
you're not at the office.
Copy !req
21. I'll lend you one of my cell phones,
Copy !req
22. so let me know immediately
if anything happens.
Copy !req
23. Listen to me.
Copy !req
24. Make sure you keep a good lookout.
Copy !req
25. Don't do anything unnecessary.
Copy !req
26. Grr...
Copy !req
27. I know I said I was okay
with doing chores...
Copy !req
28. I did, but still!
Copy !req
29. What's the point of staking this place out?
Copy !req
30. Kogyaru Club
Copy !req
31. Come have
some fun
with me
Let's play
Copy !req
32. 16bit Sensation:
Another Layer
Copy !req
33. 16bit Sensation:
Another Layer
Copy !req
34. Newsflash
Copy !req
35. Y2K Problem: What is the PM's Answer?
Copy !req
36. On the Year 2000 problem,
Copy !req
37. the Prime Minister has issued
instructions to take full measures,
Copy !req
38. and prepare for any
unforeseen circumstances.
Copy !req
39. "Believe in Me!"
Copy !req
40. Now for our next story.
Copy !req
41. First Nostradamus, now the Year 2000 problem!
Copy !req
42. Tokyo police have denied alien involvement
in the uncovered case from 14 years ago...
Copy !req
43. One apocalypse after another!
Copy !req
44. Whoa!
Copy !req
45. That's super cute!
Copy !req
46. I made so many revisions after
getting feedback from everyone!
Copy !req
47. The CG repaints are proceeding
on schedule, too.
Copy !req
48. Now we just need to swap out the
hentai scenes for cute ones!
Copy !req
49. Like adding steam to hide the naughty bits,
Copy !req
50. or putting clothes on naked shots.
Copy !req
51. It may be a port, but it's best
that we handle the CGs ourselves!
Copy !req
52. Kao-san, you're really pulling
out all the stops here!
Copy !req
53. That goes without saying!
Copy !req
54. A bishojo game lives and dies by its art!
Copy !req
55. An eroge with no ero, huh?
Copy !req
56. Call it a bishojo game!
Copy !req
57. Oh, look at the time!
Copy !req
58. Okay, Mei-chan and I have
a meeting to attend!
Copy !req
59. Take care now!
Copy !req
60. When did this place turn
into such a chick fest?
Copy !req
61. Come over
Kogyaru Club
Copy !req
62. Phone us any time
Copy !req
63. The cosplay club that Dad's
been hanging out at...
Copy !req
64. There was more stuff from
there in the trash.
Copy !req
65. He has been reckless with his money lately.
Copy !req
66. But I have a nagging feeling
that it's more than that.
Copy !req
67. He's hiding something.
Copy !req
68. If I asked him directly, I'm sure
he'd just dodge the question.
Copy !req
69. I need some evidence here!
Copy !req
70. Boy, searching this Internet
sure is a pain, though!
Copy !req
71. Maybe I should whip something up!
Copy !req
72. I see, I see...
Copy !req
73. This character is excellent!
Copy !req
74. Another winner from Meiko-san!
Copy !req
75. You're too kind!
Copy !req
76. I'm about to head over to
a TV network after this.
Copy !req
77. Care to join me?
Copy !req
78. A-A TV network, Kao-san!
Copy !req
79. What do we do?
Copy !req
80. What do you mean?
Copy !req
81. We came here for work, so we need to go in!
Copy !req
82. Hey, Gaya-san!
Copy !req
83. What's going on?
Copy !req
84. How've you been, man?
Copy !req
85. Hey! Y'know, I'm so sorry!
Copy !req
86. I haven't had any time to call you!
Copy !req
87. He's a producer at this network.
Copy !req
88. He and I go way back.
Copy !req
89. I mainly work on TV anime productions.
Copy !req
90. If Gaya-san's scouted you out,
I'd be happy to talk showbiz!
Copy !req
91. T-TV anime!
Copy !req
92. Th-This is a whole new level here...
Copy !req
93. Is this the world of console ports?
Copy !req
94. Anime is great!
Copy !req
95. But in the future, eroge could very
well get turned into TV anime!
Copy !req
96. And that could be us!
Copy !req
97. We're back...
Copy !req
98. That sure was mentally draining.
Copy !req
99. Ah. Kaori-san, Meiko-san.
Copy !req
100. Welcome back.
Copy !req
101. Sounds like you girls
are having a good time.
Copy !req
102. What were you talking about?
Copy !req
103. About Kanon, the game that just came out.
Copy !req
104. It's really something else!
Copy !req
105. I can't believe how unique the heroine is.
Copy !req
106. Her trademark phrase is "uguu"! "Uguu"!
Copy !req
107. I could understand "dayomon," at least!
Copy !req
108. That almost reminds me of Ko
o-chan.
Copy !req
109. I can see that.
Copy !req
110. You don't know what she's going to say next,
Copy !req
111. and she's got such a unique way of talking.
Copy !req
112. It's still cold out when
it gets this late...
Copy !req
113. Is the manager really going to show up?
Copy !req
114. Mamoru
Copy !req
115. Dad should show
up at the club.
Let me know as
soon as you see
him.
Copy !req
116. Dad should show up at the club.
Copy !req
117. Let me know as soon as you see him.
Copy !req
118. Is the manager really showing up?
Copy !req
119. I want to go back to the office.
Copy !req
120. Inbox
Copy !req
121. Mamoru
Copy !req
122. Stay on the lookout for him
Copy !req
123. Stay on the lookout for him.
Copy !req
124. What's up with that kid?
Copy !req
125. He looks like he needs help.
Copy !req
126. But right now, I'm in the
middle of a stakeout!
Copy !req
127. Mamoru even told me, "Don't
do anything unnecessary!"
Copy !req
128. What's wrong?
Copy !req
129. My coin rolled under the vending
machine, and now I can't reach it...
Copy !req
130. Dang...
Copy !req
131. Do you mind if I borrow that?
Copy !req
132. Use this like that and...
Copy !req
133. There, got it!
Copy !req
134. Thanks, lady!
Copy !req
135. Bye-bye!
Copy !req
136. Yeah!
Copy !req
137. Ah!
Copy !req
138. My mission!
Copy !req
139. Onee-sama?
Copy !req
140. It's you!
Copy !req
141. Onee-sama!
Copy !req
142. O-O-Onee-sama?
Copy !req
143. Do you remember me?
Copy !req
144. You helped me buy Pia Carrot and Kizuato!
Copy !req
145. Huh?
Copy !req
146. Toya-chan?
Copy !req
147. That's right!
Copy !req
148. You look way different from back then!
Copy !req
149. A total redesign!
Copy !req
150. I actually work for a game studio now!
Copy !req
151. We're making an eroge!
Copy !req
152. What?
Copy !req
153. I was tabling for a circle at Comiket,
and they invited me to do lineart work.
Copy !req
154. Now I'm a lead illustrator!
Copy !req
155. What? That's amazing!
Copy !req
156. I'm on my way to an event for our new title,
Copy !req
157. which is why I'm dressed in this cosplay.
Copy !req
158. The artist herself, promoting the game!
Copy !req
159. The game I made is really popular!
Copy !req
160. What?
Copy !req
161. That's great, Toya-chan!
Copy !req
162. It's all thanks to you, Onee-sama.
Copy !req
163. Huh? Did I do anything?
Copy !req
164. Yes!
Copy !req
165. You did so much for me!
Copy !req
166. When we met, you talked about
the future of bishojo games.
Copy !req
167. Hearing that gave me the
confidence I needed!
Copy !req
168. That maybe I could do it, too!
Copy !req
169. You were also the one who encouraged
me to participate in Comiket.
Copy !req
170. I really can't thank you enough!
Copy !req
171. I used to just be a plain-looking otaku,
Copy !req
172. but now I get treated like a princess.
Copy !req
173. I didn't think it'd be so easy.
Copy !req
174. Huh?
Copy !req
175. Men are such simple creatures.
Copy !req
176. Oh yeah, Onee-sama.
Copy !req
177. Are you free after this?
Copy !req
178. Would you care to join me
for dinner after the event?
Copy !req
179. There's this one café that I really like,
Copy !req
180. It's the manager!
Copy !req
181. and I'd love to catch up—
Copy !req
182. I-I'm a little busy right now!
Copy !req
183. See you around, Toya-chan!
Copy !req
184. What?
Copy !req
185. Onee-sama...
Copy !req
186. Mamoru-kun!
Copy !req
187. The manager's here!
Copy !req
188. Go after him!
Copy !req
189. What?
Copy !req
190. You want me to go in?
Copy !req
191. That's right!
Copy !req
192. I don't wanna go in a place like that...
Copy !req
193. Shut up and get going!
Copy !req
194. That's an order!
Copy !req
195. R-Roger...
Copy !req
196. No one plays with Tamagotchi anymore.
Copy !req
197. Don't be like that!
Copy !req
198. You were so happy when
I gave you one the other day!
Copy !req
199. It's totally out of fashion now.
Copy !req
200. Is it any fun for a girl,
coming to a club like this?
Copy !req
201. Whoa, check it out!
Copy !req
202. What's up with this hair?
Copy !req
203. You dyed it blue on the inside?
Copy !req
204. Shh!
Copy !req
205. Please be quiet!
Copy !req
206. Buy me an Aibo instead!
Copy !req
207. That thing's so cute!
Copy !req
208. Hey now, girls!
Copy !req
209. I'm the owner of this joint, you know!
Copy !req
210. You've got some nerve talking
to the owner like that!
Copy !req
211. The owner?
Copy !req
212. You should be a little nicer to me!
Copy !req
213. I'm about to become a big shot real soon!
Copy !req
214. For real?
Copy !req
215. Well, I bet you wouldn't get it, anyway!
Copy !req
216. Kaori and Meiko should
be thanking me, dammit!
Copy !req
217. They're always looking down on me for
not knowing jack about video games!
Copy !req
218. Talking real big for a bunch of artists!
Copy !req
219. I don't get it, but that's wack.
Copy !req
220. Just you wait!
Copy !req
221. Ichigaya and I are gonna take the
video game industry by storm!
Copy !req
222. I'm the one who managed
to land the console deal!
Copy !req
223. They don't know...
Copy !req
224. how much money I've invested
to make that happen!
Copy !req
225. Invested?
Copy !req
226. Screw the artists!
Copy !req
227. The president deserves the most credit!
Copy !req
228. Good job, prez!
Copy !req
229. I need to let Mamoru know!
Copy !req
230. Wait, that's me!
Copy !req
231. Good job, me!
Copy !req
232. Alcohol Soft
Copy !req
233. Just you wait!
Copy !req
234. Ichigaya and I are gonna take the
video game industry by storm!
Copy !req
235. I'm the one who managed
to land the console deal!
Copy !req
236. They don't know...
Copy !req
237. how much money I've invested
to make that happen!
Copy !req
238. Screw the artists!
Copy !req
239. The president deserves the most credit!
Copy !req
240. What the hell is this?
Copy !req
241. Am I the one who said that?
Copy !req
242. I was drunk, so I don't remember.
Copy !req
243. Manager...
Copy !req
244. What investments are these?
Copy !req
245. W-Well, that's not important here...
Copy !req
246. It damn well is important!
Copy !req
247. Are you saying the console port was in
return for putting money up for Ichigaya?
Copy !req
248. Y-You've got the wrong idea.
Copy !req
249. Ichigaya liked the game you guys made...
Copy !req
250. What's the problem with that?
Copy !req
251. No matter the reason, the
game is gonna be on console!
Copy !req
252. So, how much are we talking?
Copy !req
253. Huh?
Copy !req
254. How much money did you
fork over to Ichigaya?
Copy !req
255. In exchange for the console port!
Copy !req
256. Sh-Shut your trap!
Copy !req
257. What would you know about doing business?
Copy !req
258. Dad.
Copy !req
259. You became the owner of that
cosplay club, am I right?
Copy !req
260. I looked it up.
Copy !req
261. You took joint ownership with Ichigaya
for a number of his businesses.
Copy !req
262. You used company money for that, didn't you?
Copy !req
263. You didn't raise the pay for any of us...
Copy !req
264. How dare you spend it on that?
Copy !req
265. Shut up! Shut up!
Copy !req
266. Don't talk back when all you
do is make your little games!
Copy !req
267. Are you the ones making the deals?
Copy !req
268. Running the business?
Copy !req
269. Why do you get to have all
the fun making games?
Copy !req
270. You guys get all the damn credit!
Copy !req
271. I'm the president of this company!
Copy !req
272. When do I...
Copy !req
273. When do I get to do something great?
Copy !req
274. Have any of you heard
about dot-com companies?
Copy !req
275. It's never been a better time
for American IT companies!
Copy !req
276. Which is why it's the perfect
time for me and Ichigaya
Copy !req
277. to start a new company in the US that
combines the Internet and video games!
Copy !req
278. This is gonna be real big!
Copy !req
279. Excuse me, everyone.
Copy !req
280. Huh?
Copy !req
281. Please excuse my interruption.
Copy !req
282. If I could ask you all to
come to the conference room.
Copy !req
283. I'm sorry, Hashimoto-san.
Copy !req
284. Now's not the time for—
Copy !req
285. This is an urgent matter.
Copy !req
286. Ichigaya-san has been arrested.

296. Total losses may exceed three billion yen

individuals with false startup business offers,
Copy !req
298. and fraudulently soliciting
investments from them.
Copy !req
299. The total losses are estimated
to exceed three billion yen.
Copy !req
300. Ichigaya, a renowned game creator known
for the hit 1987 series, Fire Dragon,
Copy !req
301. is believed to have been facing
financial trouble in recent years...
Copy !req
302. They arrested Ichigaya-san...
Copy !req
303. What?
Copy !req
304. What's going on here?
Copy !req
305. Manager.
Copy !req
306. He suckered you out of your money.
Copy !req
307. Th-This is some sort of prank.
Copy !req
308. It must be a misunderstanding.
Copy !req
309. He would never lie to me.
Copy !req
310. He said that we were...
Copy !req
311. Dad.
Copy !req
312. He was stringing you along.
Copy !req
313. Oh, brother.
Copy !req
314. Give it back...
Copy !req
315. Give it back...
Copy !req
316. My one billion...
Copy !req

in an investment fraud scheme,
Copy !req
320. Alcohol Soft suddenly found themselves
one billion yen in debt.
Copy !req
321. Kao-san!
Copy !req
322. I just came back from Ichigaya's
Diamond Studio office.
Copy !req
323. It was swarming with debt
collectors and policemen,
Copy !req
324. so I didn't manage to get anything back.
Copy !req
325. Maybe it's time we closed up shop.
Copy !req
326. In the end, Ichigaya was no better than
a scummy eroge company president.
Copy !req
327. Nothing but big talk, while
never showing up for work.
Copy !req
328. If only the manager had been
content with humbly making games.
Copy !req
329. Having a hit title on his hands
completely messed up his life.
Copy !req
330. If we had taken a step back, we could
have realized something was wrong.
Copy !req
331. But we all bought it hook, line, and sinker.
Copy !req
332. Well, come on!
Copy !req
333. Who wouldn't want to see
their game on console?
Copy !req
334. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
335. I wasn't thinking clearly...
Copy !req
336. You're not to blame at all, Mei-chan!
Copy !req
337. Treating us like your personal wallet!
Copy !req
338. He won't get away with this!
Copy !req
339. Um...
Copy !req
340. Kono-chan.
Copy !req
341. Does this mean you're not
going to make games anymore?
Copy !req
342. I'll still make games.
Copy !req
343. Only...
Copy !req
344. it may not be at this company.
Copy !req
345. Mamoru-kun!
Copy !req
346. You're still here, huh?
Copy !req
347. Well, the development room
is where I've been sleeping.
Copy !req
348. Dad was hospitalized from
the shock of it all.
Copy !req
349. Makes you laugh, doesn't it?
Copy !req
350. He's never had an ounce of business sense.
Copy !req
351. One billion yen...
Copy !req
352. Opening a computer shop after mass
retailers started carrying them.
Copy !req
353. Starting a game company, despite never
really having played a video game.
Copy !req
354. I knew all of this, but I let
him be, so maybe I'm no better.
Copy !req
355. Was there really nothing
more I could have done?
Copy !req
356. You did plenty.
Copy !req
357. You even tracked him down.
Copy !req
358. Still!
Copy !req
359. I came back in time again, but
I was powerless to do anything...
Copy !req
360. It's just too awful!
Copy !req
361. I had a hunch that something was wrong.
Copy !req
362. When someone from the future like
you had no idea who Ichigaya was.
Copy !req
363. Mamoru-kun, who's that?
Copy !req
364. I didn't take things seriously.
Copy !req
365. I had second thoughts about
believing what you said.
Copy !req
366. However...
Copy !req
367. I might have been able
to prevent all of this.
Copy !req
368. And even if I couldn't,
Copy !req
369. I could have at least paid
attention to what Dad was up to.
Copy !req
370. If I had done that, maybe I could
have kept everyone's dream alive.
Copy !req
371. Everyone's dream?
Copy !req
372. Mamoru-kun, you think this is your fault?
Copy !req
373. Maybe it wasn't.
Copy !req
374. But I can't deny I was a
little too unsuspecting.
Copy !req
375. Mamoru-kun, you love Alcohol
Soft deep down, don't you?
Copy !req
376. Not really.
Copy !req
377. I've been...
Copy !req
378. just stuck here the whole time.
Copy !req
379. Mamoru-kun!
Copy !req
380. Let's make a game!
Copy !req
381. I'll do the art, so let's make a game!
Copy !req
382. We'll use it to save the company!
Copy !req
383. Ugh...
Copy !req
384. Hey!
Copy !req
385. This is the part where you go
all whammo, then "yeahhhh"!
Copy !req
386. What's with the "ugh"?
Copy !req
387. I've always wanted to make a game
with everyone at Alcohol Soft!
Copy !req
388. I knew if I was going to make a game,
I wanted it to be with all of you!
Copy !req
389. But I couldn't say it...
Copy !req
390. I was too afraid of changing the past.
Copy !req
391. But still!
Copy !req
392. If we don't use my powers now, then when?
Copy !req
393. The game I've always wanted to make!
