3. Everyone from Alcohol Soft,
let us join hands...Copy !req
4. And start a worldwide revolution!Copy !req
5. This is a cosplay club run by Ichigaya.Copy !req
6. Maybe it's time I looked
into this Ichigaya...Copy !req
7. Alcohol Soft is real busy working on
the console port with Diamond Studio!Copy !req
8. I'm so jealous!Copy !req
9. I want to make a game with my art,Copy !req
10. and port it over to console, too!Copy !req
11. But look at me...Copy !req
12. Why am I out here on a stakeout?Copy !req
13. Just to double-check, but
I'm a time traveler!Copy !req
14. I am, right?Copy !req
15. Starting tomorrow, you'll
be staking out this club.Copy !req
16. Huh? Why me?Copy !req
17. Isn't it obvious?Copy !req
18. No one will miss you if
you're not at the office.Copy !req
19. I'll lend you one of my cell phones,Copy !req
20. so let me know immediately
if anything happens.Copy !req
21. Listen to me.Copy !req
22. Make sure you keep a good lookout.Copy !req
23. Don't do anything unnecessary.Copy !req
24. Grr...Copy !req
25. I know I said I was okay
with doing chores...Copy !req
26. I did, but still!Copy !req
27. What's the point of staking this place out?Copy !req
28. 16bit Sensation:
Another LayerCopy !req
29. 16bit Sensation:
Another LayerCopy !req
30. On the Year 2000 problem,Copy !req
31. the Prime Minister has issued
instructions to take full measures,Copy !req
32. and prepare for any
unforeseen circumstances.Copy !req
33. Now for our next story.Copy !req
34. First Nostradamus, now the Year 2000 problem!Copy !req
35. Tokyo police have denied alien involvement
in the uncovered case from 14 years ago...Copy !req
36. One apocalypse after another!Copy !req
37. Whoa!Copy !req
38. That's super cute!Copy !req
39. I made so many revisions after
getting feedback from everyone!Copy !req
40. The CG repaints are proceeding
on schedule, too.Copy !req
41. Now we just need to swap out the
hentai scenes for cute ones!Copy !req
42. Like adding steam to hide the naughty bits,Copy !req
43. or putting clothes on naked shots.Copy !req
44. It may be a port, but it's best
that we handle the CGs ourselves!Copy !req
45. Kao-san, you're really pulling
out all the stops here!Copy !req
46. That goes without saying!Copy !req
47. A bishojo game lives and dies by its art!Copy !req
48. An eroge with no ero, huh?Copy !req
49. Call it a bishojo game!Copy !req
50. Oh, look at the time!Copy !req
51. Okay, Mei-chan and I have
a meeting to attend!Copy !req
52. Take care now!Copy !req
53. When did this place turn
into such a chick fest?Copy !req
54. The cosplay club that Dad's
been hanging out at...Copy !req
55. There was more stuff from
there in the trash.Copy !req
56. He has been reckless with his money lately.Copy !req
57. But I have a nagging feeling
that it's more than that.Copy !req
58. He's hiding something.Copy !req
59. If I asked him directly, I'm sure
he'd just dodge the question.Copy !req
60. I need some evidence here!Copy !req
61. Boy, searching this Internet
sure is a pain, though!Copy !req
62. Maybe I should whip something up!Copy !req
63. I see, I see...Copy !req
64. This character is excellent!Copy !req
65. Another winner from Meiko-san!Copy !req
66. You're too kind!Copy !req
67. I'm about to head over to
a TV network after this.Copy !req
68. Care to join me?Copy !req
69. A-A TV network, Kao-san!Copy !req
70. What do we do?Copy !req
71. What do you mean?Copy !req
72. We came here for work, so we need to go in!Copy !req
73. Hey, Gaya-san!Copy !req
74. What's going on?Copy !req
75. How've you been, man?Copy !req
76. Hey! Y'know, I'm so sorry!Copy !req
77. I haven't had any time to call you!Copy !req
78. He's a producer at this network.Copy !req
79. He and I go way back.Copy !req
80. I mainly work on TV anime productions.Copy !req
81. If Gaya-san's scouted you out,
I'd be happy to talk showbiz!Copy !req
82. T-TV anime!Copy !req
83. Th-This is a whole new level here...Copy !req
84. Is this the world of console ports?Copy !req
85. Anime is great!Copy !req
86. But in the future, eroge could very
well get turned into TV anime!Copy !req
87. And that could be us!Copy !req
88. We're back...Copy !req
89. That sure was mentally draining.Copy !req
90. Ah. Kaori-san, Meiko-san.Copy !req
91. Welcome back.Copy !req
92. Sounds like you girls
are having a good time.Copy !req
93. What were you talking about?Copy !req
94. About Kanon, the game that just came out.Copy !req
95. It's really something else!Copy !req
96. I can't believe how unique the heroine is.Copy !req
97. Her trademark phrase is "uguu"! "Uguu"!Copy !req
98. I could understand "dayomon," at least!Copy !req
99. That almost reminds me of Ko
o-chan.Copy !req
100. I can see that.Copy !req
101. You don't know what she's going to say next,Copy !req
102. and she's got such a unique way of talking.Copy !req
103. It's still cold out when
it gets this late...Copy !req
104. Is the manager really going to show up?Copy !req
105. Dad should show up at the club.Copy !req
106. Let me know as soon as you see him.Copy !req
107. Is the manager really showing up?Copy !req
108. I want to go back to the office.Copy !req
109. Stay on the lookout for him.Copy !req
110. What's up with that kid?Copy !req
111. He looks like he needs help.Copy !req
112. But right now, I'm in the
middle of a stakeout!Copy !req
113. Mamoru even told me, "Don't
do anything unnecessary!"Copy !req
114. What's wrong?Copy !req
115. My coin rolled under the vending
machine, and now I can't reach it...Copy !req
116. Dang...Copy !req
117. Do you mind if I borrow that?Copy !req
118. Use this like that and...Copy !req
119. There, got it!Copy !req
120. Thanks, lady!Copy !req
121. Bye-bye!Copy !req
122. Yeah!Copy !req
123. Ah!Copy !req
124. My mission!Copy !req
125. Onee-sama?Copy !req
126. It's you!Copy !req
127. Onee-sama!Copy !req
128. O-O-Onee-sama?Copy !req
129. Do you remember me?Copy !req
130. You helped me buy Pia Carrot and Kizuato!Copy !req
131. Huh?Copy !req
132. Toya-chan?Copy !req
133. That's right!Copy !req
134. You look way different from back then!Copy !req
135. A total redesign!Copy !req
136. I actually work for a game studio now!Copy !req
137. We're making an eroge!Copy !req
138. What?Copy !req
139. I was tabling for a circle at Comiket,
and they invited me to do lineart work.Copy !req
140. Now I'm a lead illustrator!Copy !req
141. What? That's amazing!Copy !req
142. I'm on my way to an event for our new title,Copy !req
143. which is why I'm dressed in this cosplay.Copy !req
144. The artist herself, promoting the game!Copy !req
145. The game I made is really popular!Copy !req
146. What?Copy !req
147. That's great, Toya-chan!Copy !req
148. It's all thanks to you, Onee-sama.Copy !req
149. Huh? Did I do anything?Copy !req
150. Yes!Copy !req
151. You did so much for me!Copy !req
152. When we met, you talked about
the future of bishojo games.Copy !req
153. Hearing that gave me the
confidence I needed!Copy !req
154. That maybe I could do it, too!Copy !req
155. You were also the one who encouraged
me to participate in Comiket.Copy !req
156. I really can't thank you enough!Copy !req
157. I used to just be a plain-looking otaku,Copy !req
158. but now I get treated like a princess.Copy !req
159. I didn't think it'd be so easy.Copy !req
160. Huh?Copy !req
161. Men are such simple creatures.Copy !req
162. Oh yeah, Onee-sama.Copy !req
163. Are you free after this?Copy !req
164. Would you care to join me
for dinner after the event?Copy !req
165. There's this one café that I really like,Copy !req
166. It's the manager!Copy !req
167. and I'd love to catch up—Copy !req
168. I-I'm a little busy right now!Copy !req
169. See you around, Toya-chan!Copy !req
170. What?Copy !req
171. Onee-sama...Copy !req
172. Mamoru-kun!Copy !req
173. The manager's here!Copy !req
174. Go after him!Copy !req
175. What?Copy !req
176. You want me to go in?Copy !req
177. That's right!Copy !req
178. I don't wanna go in a place like that...Copy !req
179. Shut up and get going!Copy !req
180. That's an order!Copy !req
181. R-Roger...Copy !req
182. No one plays with Tamagotchi anymore.Copy !req
183. Don't be like that!Copy !req
184. You were so happy when
I gave you one the other day!Copy !req
185. It's totally out of fashion now.Copy !req
186. Is it any fun for a girl,
coming to a club like this?Copy !req
187. Whoa, check it out!Copy !req
188. What's up with this hair?Copy !req
189. You dyed it blue on the inside?Copy !req
190. Shh!Copy !req
191. Please be quiet!Copy !req
192. Buy me an Aibo instead!Copy !req
193. That thing's so cute!Copy !req
194. Hey now, girls!Copy !req
195. I'm the owner of this joint, you know!Copy !req
196. You've got some nerve talking
to the owner like that!Copy !req
197. The owner?Copy !req
198. You should be a little nicer to me!Copy !req
199. I'm about to become a big shot real soon!Copy !req
200. For real?Copy !req
201. Well, I bet you wouldn't get it, anyway!Copy !req
202. Kaori and Meiko should
be thanking me, dammit!Copy !req
203. They're always looking down on me for
not knowing jack about video games!Copy !req
204. Talking real big for a bunch of artists!Copy !req
205. I don't get it, but that's wack.Copy !req
206. Just you wait!Copy !req
207. Ichigaya and I are gonna take the
video game industry by storm!Copy !req
208. I'm the one who managed
to land the console deal!Copy !req
209. They don't know...Copy !req
210. how much money I've invested
to make that happen!Copy !req
211. Invested?Copy !req
212. Screw the artists!Copy !req
213. The president deserves the most credit!Copy !req
214. Good job, prez!Copy !req
215. I need to let Mamoru know!Copy !req
216. Wait, that's me!Copy !req
217. Good job, me!Copy !req
218. Just you wait!Copy !req
219. Ichigaya and I are gonna take the
video game industry by storm!Copy !req
220. I'm the one who managed
to land the console deal!Copy !req
221. They don't know...Copy !req
222. how much money I've invested
to make that happen!Copy !req
223. Screw the artists!Copy !req
224. The president deserves the most credit!Copy !req
225. What the hell is this?Copy !req
226. Am I the one who said that?Copy !req
227. I was drunk, so I don't remember.Copy !req
228. Manager...Copy !req
229. What investments are these?Copy !req
230. W-Well, that's not important here...Copy !req
231. It damn well is important!Copy !req
232. Are you saying the console port was in
return for putting money up for Ichigaya?Copy !req
233. Y-You've got the wrong idea.Copy !req
234. Ichigaya liked the game you guys made...Copy !req
235. What's the problem with that?Copy !req
236. No matter the reason, the
game is gonna be on console!Copy !req
237. So, how much are we talking?Copy !req
238. Huh?Copy !req
239. How much money did you
fork over to Ichigaya?Copy !req
240. In exchange for the console port!Copy !req
241. Sh-Shut your trap!Copy !req
242. What would you know about doing business?Copy !req
243. Dad.Copy !req
244. You became the owner of that
cosplay club, am I right?Copy !req
245. I looked it up.Copy !req
246. You took joint ownership with Ichigaya
for a number of his businesses.Copy !req
247. You used company money for that, didn't you?Copy !req
248. You didn't raise the pay for any of us...Copy !req
249. How dare you spend it on that?Copy !req
250. Shut up! Shut up!Copy !req
251. Don't talk back when all you
do is make your little games!Copy !req
252. Are you the ones making the deals?Copy !req
253. Running the business?Copy !req
254. Why do you get to have all
the fun making games?Copy !req
255. You guys get all the damn credit!Copy !req
256. I'm the president of this company!Copy !req
257. When do I...Copy !req
258. When do I get to do something great?Copy !req
259. Have any of you heard
about dot-com companies?Copy !req
260. It's never been a better time
for American IT companies!Copy !req
261. Which is why it's the perfect
time for me and IchigayaCopy !req
262. to start a new company in the US that
combines the Internet and video games!Copy !req
263. This is gonna be real big!Copy !req
264. Excuse me, everyone.Copy !req
265. Huh?Copy !req
266. Please excuse my interruption.Copy !req
267. If I could ask you all to
come to the conference room.Copy !req
268. I'm sorry, Hashimoto-san.Copy !req
269. Now's not the time for—Copy !req
270. This is an urgent matter.Copy !req
271. Ichigaya-san has been arrested.Copy !req
272. Game creator Hikaru
Ichigaya has been arrestedCopy !req
273. on suspected charges of massive fraud.Copy !req
274. Ichigaya is charged with colluding with
those in the television industry.Copy !req
275. He is said to have approached multiple
individuals with false startup business offers,Copy !req
276. and fraudulently soliciting
investments from them.Copy !req
277. The total losses are estimated
to exceed three billion yen.Copy !req
278. Ichigaya, a renowned game creator known
for the hit 1987 series, Fire Dragon,Copy !req
279. is believed to have been facing
financial trouble in recent years...Copy !req
280. They arrested Ichigaya-san...Copy !req
281. What?Copy !req
282. What's going on here?Copy !req
283. Manager.Copy !req
284. He suckered you out of your money.Copy !req
285. Th-This is some sort of prank.Copy !req
286. It must be a misunderstanding.Copy !req
287. He would never lie to me.Copy !req
288. He said that we were...Copy !req
289. Dad.Copy !req
290. He was stringing you along.Copy !req
291. Oh, brother.Copy !req
292. Give it back...Copy !req
293. Give it back...Copy !req
294. My one billion...Copy !req
295. What?Copy !req
296. O-One billion?Copy !req
297. With the manager a scam victim
in an investment fraud scheme,Copy !req
298. Alcohol Soft suddenly found themselves
one billion yen in debt.Copy !req
299. Kao-san!Copy !req
300. I just came back from Ichigaya's
Diamond Studio office.Copy !req
301. It was swarming with debt
collectors and policemen,Copy !req
302. so I didn't manage to get anything back.Copy !req
303. Maybe it's time we closed up shop.Copy !req
304. In the end, Ichigaya was no better than
a scummy eroge company president.Copy !req
305. Nothing but big talk, while
never showing up for work.Copy !req
306. If only the manager had been
content with humbly making games.Copy !req
307. Having a hit title on his hands
completely messed up his life.Copy !req
308. If we had taken a step back, we could
have realized something was wrong.Copy !req
309. But we all bought it hook, line, and sinker.Copy !req
310. Well, come on!Copy !req
311. Who wouldn't want to see
their game on console?Copy !req
312. I'm sorry.Copy !req
313. I wasn't thinking clearly...Copy !req
314. You're not to blame at all, Mei-chan!Copy !req
315. Treating us like your personal wallet!Copy !req
316. He won't get away with this!Copy !req
317. Um...Copy !req
318. Kono-chan.Copy !req
319. Does this mean you're not
going to make games anymore?Copy !req
320. I'll still make games.Copy !req
321. Only...Copy !req
322. it may not be at this company.Copy !req
323. Mamoru-kun!Copy !req
324. You're still here, huh?Copy !req
325. Well, the development room
is where I've been sleeping.Copy !req
326. Dad was hospitalized from
the shock of it all.Copy !req
327. Makes you laugh, doesn't it?Copy !req
328. He's never had an ounce of business sense.Copy !req
329. One billion yen...Copy !req
330. Opening a computer shop after mass
retailers started carrying them.Copy !req
331. Starting a game company, despite never
really having played a video game.Copy !req
332. I knew all of this, but I let
him be, so maybe I'm no better.Copy !req
333. Was there really nothing
more I could have done?Copy !req
334. You did plenty.Copy !req
335. You even tracked him down.Copy !req
336. Still!Copy !req
337. I came back in time again, but
I was powerless to do anything...Copy !req
338. It's just too awful!Copy !req
339. I had a hunch that something was wrong.Copy !req
340. When someone from the future like
you had no idea who Ichigaya was.Copy !req
341. Mamoru-kun, who's that?Copy !req
342. I didn't take things seriously.Copy !req
343. I had second thoughts about
believing what you said.Copy !req
344. However...Copy !req
345. I might have been able
to prevent all of this.Copy !req
346. And even if I couldn't,Copy !req
347. I could have at least paid
attention to what Dad was up to.Copy !req
348. If I had done that, maybe I could
have kept everyone's dream alive.Copy !req
349. Everyone's dream?Copy !req
350. Mamoru-kun, you think this is your fault?Copy !req
351. Maybe it wasn't.Copy !req
352. But I can't deny I was a
little too unsuspecting.Copy !req
353. Mamoru-kun, you love Alcohol
Soft deep down, don't you?Copy !req
354. Not really.Copy !req
355. I've been...Copy !req
356. just stuck here the whole time.Copy !req
357. Mamoru-kun!Copy !req
358. Let's make a game!Copy !req
359. I'll do the art, so let's make a game!Copy !req
360. We'll use it to save the company!Copy !req
361. Ugh...Copy !req
362. Hey!Copy !req
363. This is the part where you go
all whammo, then "yeahhhh"!Copy !req
364. What's with the "ugh"?Copy !req
365. I've always wanted to make a game
with everyone at Alcohol Soft!Copy !req
366. I knew if I was going to make a game,
I wanted it to be with all of you!Copy !req
367. But I couldn't say it...Copy !req
368. I was too afraid of changing the past.Copy !req
369. But still!Copy !req
370. If we don't use my powers now, then when?Copy !req
371. The game I've always wanted to make!Copy !req
372. I know that I want to make
it right here, right now!Copy !req
373. Ugh...Copy !req
374. What?Copy !req
375. "Ugh" again?Copy !req
376. I can't deny that your drawing was amazing.Copy !req
377. To be honest, it feels
straight out of the future.Copy !req
378. But what can you do with just drawings?Copy !req
379. We're talking one billion yen! One billion!Copy !req
380. You can't possibly make one
billion yen off an eroge...Copy !req
381. Mamoru-kun, you still don't
understand the power of bishojo.Copy !req
382. Bishojo has way more power than you think!Copy !req
383. As someone from the future, I guarantee it!Copy !req
384. Besides, I'm not alone!Copy !req
385. Everyone at Alcohol Soft believes
in the power of bishojo!Copy !req
386. If we all work together,
nothing's impossible!Copy !req
387. The other day, I helped out a boy I met,Copy !req
388. because he was in trouble!Copy !req
389. It doesn't matter whether
I change the past or future!Copy !req
390. I want to do whatever I can, right now!Copy !req
391. Mamoru-kun, are you fine
with just giving up?Copy !req
392. Are you fine with losing everything?Copy !req
393. I don't think you are!Copy !req
394. I know all too well that your heart
is burning with passion deep down!Copy !req
395. So please!Copy !req
396. Believe in me!Copy !req
397. Mamoru-kun!Copy !req
398. Can you do it?Copy !req
399. Can you really make that amazing of a game?Copy !req
400. I can!Copy !req
401. I'm going to make the
ultimate game, right here!Copy !req
402. Then have it your way.Copy !req
403. Whatever you want to make,
I'll bring it to life.Copy !req
404. So make the game that you want!Copy !req
405. You can leave the programming to me!Copy !req
406. Really? Whatever I want?Copy !req
407. Yeah.Copy !req
408. You name it!Copy !req
409. You mean I can activate beast mode?Copy !req
410. What the heck is beast mode?Copy !req
411. Um, beast mode is when,
well, you go all out!Copy !req
412. Sure, whatever.Copy !req
413. Do it!Copy !req
414. Go beast mode!Copy !req
415. All right!Copy !req
