What do you mean 02 has been completed?
Wasn't the robot I was developing meant to become 02?
Another team completed him ahead of you.
Please take a look.
New model, type 02.
A streamlined form, and a perfectly balanced body.
No... He's like the Statue of David.
His emotional data collection device is built-in.
His recharge time is about 10 seconds.
Also, he displays emotion more naturally than 01.
We found that starting him up by a kiss was useless, so we left that function off.
Namikiri-kun.
Do you know what the essential requirement for a robot lover is?
The ability to make it's owner happy?
And also to understand it's lover's feelings, to heal, and to be understanding.
Understanding?
In other words, the exact flexibility which 01 lacks.
Equipped with functions lacking in 01,
02 will make any woman instantly fall in love with him.
He's absolutely perfect, a new type of love robot.
Riko, good morning.
Am I cute?
Of course you're not.
What're you doing?
I thought it might be good to change my image once in a while.
Don't I look good?
No way!
How about this look for today?
I don't know...
There, all finished.
This look's the best after all.
What's this? A barcode?
That's right.
It's for my identification.
Makes you seem more like a robot I guess.
Talk of mass producing 01 has been put on hold.
We will now dispatch 02 to Izawa Riko's location.
Huh?
Wait a second!
What do you mean?
It's to compare his ability with 01.
The management wants to mass produce
The robot that can best please Izawa Riko.
What if 01 loses to 02?
You should know.
Appliances that lose their usefulness are to be disposed of.
Chief. We've finished inputting data about Izawa Riko into 02.
According to my calculations...
The chance of 02 winning over Izawa Riko is 98.2%.
98.2%?
I expect nothing less from such a high-powered model.
I look forward to the results.
Activating.
It's good.
Compared to what we're doing
We're just a couple of amateurs.
I still like you Soushi.
Hey Riko, is there anywhere you'd like to go on a date?
Let's just go to the office for now.
A date at the office huh?
We go on dates every day don't we?
Good morning.
You guys are so close, even in the mornings.
Good morning.
Miss Natsumi.
Good luck at the competition.
Thanks.
But is this really alright with you Riko?
I was really looking forward to trying your sweets.
There's no way I could compete with you.
Don't say things like that. You...
We're going on a date at the office now.
Huh, That's not it at all... Uwa!
I love Riko.
Now if you'll excuse us.
This is embarrassing! Let me down!
Riko, you're cute as always today.
I'm getting dizzy.
Night is interesting isn't he?
They get along together because their both weird.
Because I hate you Riko.
Good morning.
Hey Mika, can I talk to you for a bit?
I've done a lot of things up until now that hurt you, and I'm sorry.
But there are special circumstances with Night...
What're you saying?
Don't talk to me again.
Thanks for the food.
It looks good.
It's still in the trial phase.
But I'd love to hear your opinions.
Sure.
Riko-san, here's one for you too.
Thank you.
It's good.
As one would expect from an up-and-coming pastry chef.
With her ability, we can expect big things come competition time.
Izawa, you made the right choice in withdrawing from the competition.
Miss Adachi, it's rude for you to compare Miss Natsumi to an amateur.
Soushi.
You're going to help out creating sweets for the competition.
Huh? Why me?
Because I requested you. I'm looking forward to it.
I guess they have a deep connection after all.
They look like the perfect couple.
Excuse me.
Riko, bean sprouts at the supermarket today are only 8 yen.
I'll make you a good dinner.
OK.
Oh.
Sorry. Excuse me.
Huh? But it was just paper!
Are you OK?
Are you hurt?
Ahh.
What should I do?
I'm... hungry.
Huh?
All finished!
I wonder if Riko will be happy.
Welcome back.
Tonight is Korean styled bean sprout rice.
Night, give that to this guy.
Huh?
Thanks for the food.
Thank you very much.
I'm glad you're alright.
Well, let's eat too.
- There's no more. - Huh?
That was for you Riko.
Huh? No way!
I'm sorry, I ate your dinner.
Oh no, don't worry about it.
By the way, who are you?
I'm Toshiki.
T O S H I K I - Toshiki.
Mr. T O S H I K I - toshiki, nice to meet you.
His name is Toshiki.
Nice to meet you Riko-san.
Nice to meet you.
Who're you?
Who's that incredibly hot guy?
So you hitch hiked here all the way from Kyushu?
Yea. I'm on a journey to find myself.
Knock Knock. Excuse me. Is that so.
A journey to discover yourself, how exciting.
What's your name.
He's Mr. T O S H I K I - Toshiki.
Oh really?
My name is Testuko, written with the characters for "iron" and "child".
Toshiki-san, where are you staying tonight?
I'll sleep outside. I don't have a single yen on me.
Oh really?
Well if you'd like, right next door to me
There's a room open that you can stay in.
Thank you very much.
I'm very happy to be invited over for the night by a beautiful lady like you Miss Tetsuko.
A beautiful lady?
Miss Land Lady, what's wrong?
I have to calm myself down.
This clock has stopped.
Maybe it's out of batteries.
Oh that's broken.
I'll fix it for you.
I'm good at these things.
Mr. T O S H I K I - Toshiki, that's OK, I'll fix it.
Please, allow me to show my gratitude with this.
I owe my life to Riko-san.
Owe your life to me? You're exaggerating.
Anyway, please leave now Mr. T O S H...
Just call him Toshiki!
Your real name is Toshiki?
You're pretty unique. Are you Riko-san's brother?
No, I'm Riko's ideal ...
Well, he's kind of like an older brother.
Naito-kun is her cousin.
Her cousin, huh?
Well, Toshiki-san, shall we go?
Well, good night, Riko-san.
Good night.
Let's go. Will you take a bath? And then another bath after that?
Riko.
I'm Riko's ideal boyfriend.
Don't say those things in front of the land lady.
Think a little more before you speak.
OK, I got it.
He doesn't get it at all!
Hey.
Doing things like this is just bothering Riko.
Huh?
Toshiki-san, why are you here?
From today, I'm starting part time work here as a janitor.
I'm Kurosu Toshiki.
Nice to meet you all.
Not another male rival.
It doesn't bother me but, don't we have too many janitors?
Isn't he Kyoko's type?
But Kyoko's not interested in anyone but Night.
Take care of this right away.
That hair style is really cute.
What're you saying!
It's not cute at all!
When you part your hair to the side it looks even cuter.
Toshiki-kun, do you have a girlfriend?
Don't tell me, she's into him already?
Toshiki-san, please take care of a different floor.
Cleaning Riko's surroundings is my responsibility.
Oh really? I'm sorry.
Sorry, Toshiki-san.
Night, you'll clean over there, right?
This is great.
You really did train in Paris.
This is perfect.
I guess there's nothing for me to meddle with.
Clean this area properly, too.
Great timing, Riko-san.
Can you tell me what you thought of my dish yesterday?
My opinion doesn't really matter...
Sorry for Riko bothering you two.
Let's just go already.
Excuse us.
You're worried about Riko, aren't you?
Huh? What're you talking about?
You can learn a thing or two from Night-kun.
Riko, why don't we go bowling again on your next day off?
Riko, you like planetariums, right?
Oh, it's sold out.
"Wish Upon a Star", huh?
What does "Wish Upon a Star" mean?
If you wish upon a falling star, that wish will come true.
When I was little I made lots of wishes.
Riko, you have a wish you want to come true?
Even if I did, it's hard to see a shooting star here in Tokyo.
Night-san, can you please stop putting me away.
Hey, Night's a robot, isn't he?
What're you talking about, Fujiko-san?
He said so himself... that he's a robot.
Huh?
He even explained to me about the barcode behind his ear.
Please don't tell anyone!
Please!
If this gets out, I have to pay a fine!
Huh? What do you mean?
So that's why you always say he's not your boyfriend.
I like Night but, I guess having a robot lover is out of the question huh?
That's true, I guess.
But it's amazing that you still bought him.
More importantly, aren't you surprised at all Fujiko-san?
I am surprised.
But thinking about you two up until now, it all makes sense.
But if you live with a robot, you'll never get a boyfriend.
I know that.
Riko-san.
Toshiki-san.
Your door was unlocked.
I finished repairs on that clock.
Oh, thank you.
Where's Night-san?
Oh, I think he's in the bathroom ...
That clocks pretty old, why don't you get a new one?
I kind of like this one.
Riko-san, is there something on your mind?
Why?
Because of the look on your face.
You can talk to me about anything if you'd like.
I can always make time for you.
Thank you.
Happiness Reading: 48emp
Well, good night.
Good night.
Miss Izawa, what're you doing for lunch?
Hmm, I dunno...
- I have a sandwich if you'd... - Riko-san.
Please eat this.
Wow it looks great!
I met a farmer on my travels and he sent me this meat.
Please eat it. It'll give you energy.
Thank you.
I'm glad you like it.
Bye.
- This sandwich... - Riko, today's lunch is...
Dried sardine grounds and...
What's that?
Sorry, Toshiki-san brought me this.
Toshiki-san?
That's not good, is it.
You can't beat steak with dried sardines or a sandwich.
If you don't do something soon, she may get taken away from you.
Taken away?
I used caramel jelly for the appearance and decorated it with Framboise and Pistachio.
You're great Natsumi-kun.
It's original and gorgeous, such excellent quality.
I guess even big bro smiles sometimes.
You should take work a little more seriously once in a while.
You guys aren't very honest with each other at all, are you?
The application deadline for the competition is coming up.
If you keep lying to yourself, you're going to lose what's really important to you.
Oh no.
We're not done yet!
Why haven't you been coming to the club lately?
I won't be going anymore.
Go ahead and drink that bottle I've been saving.
Later.
What's important to me, huh?
What does that guy think work is?
Masashi-san, you're too into work.
I have responsibilities.
By protecting ASAMOTO, I'm protecting the livelihoods of all our workers and their families.
I can't be like him and work only on whims.
I think it's amazing.
In such a short time ASAMOTO has become so big, all because of you Masashi-san.
But even so, you're jealous of Soushi's freedom.
No way.
Well, I'm counting on you for opinions on my creations.
I also like aquariums and cake buffets.
Really?
We have a lot in common, let's go out together some time.
Don't get too close to my Riko.
Night-san, you're overreacting.
Because I'm Riko's ideal boyfriend.
I was just worried about Riko because she didn't look too happy.
Sorry Toshiki-san.
Well Night-san, take care of Riko-san.
Toshiki-san's such an adult.
And you're such a child.
Lets go home.
I have some business to take care of, so go ahead by yourself.
Riko-san.
Yes?
I made some cookies and thought you might like some.
Oh, thank you.
Come in.
They look delicious!
Riko-san, you also like making sweets?
Well...
I also like to too. We really do have a lot in common.
I have this pot, too.
It's easy to use, isn't it?
Riko-san, what's wrong?
I've been thinking of quitting.
Things haven't been working out.
I feel like getting rid of it all and running far away.
Just kidding...
You don't have to push yourself.
Huh?
I understand how you feel.
Why don't you take a break and see?
Isn't it sad when you start hating the things you like?
It's also important to reset your feelings.
That may be true.
Riko.
Huh?
Well Riko-san, good bye.
Night, where did you go?
Look at this.
Tickets to the Planetarium.
These are hard to find.
Tomorrow's the last showing.
When works over, how about we go together?
Yea, sure. Thanks.
I'll ask the shooting star to make you into a real pastry chef.
I'm a little tired so I'm going to sleep.
OK.
Riko, good night.
Good night.
Sweet dreams.
It looks like 02 is making Izawa Riko far happier.
As expected from the new model.
The results of this fight should turn out as expected as well.
Wishes, huh?
Hey Riko.
Huh?
I saw what's inside that cardboard box.
Shouldn't you be working?
Are you giving up on making sweets?
That's right.
Didn't you want to become a pastry chef?
Only talented people like Natsumi-san become pastry chefs.
Don't run away, Riko!
I can't do it!
Yes, you can.
If it's you, Riko, you'll be fine.
Make your dreams come true.
You can become a pastry chef.
We'll go wish upon a falling star together.
It's not that easy.
Sorry.
Riko.
I wonder if grandpa would be happy seeing ASAMOTO as it is now.
I like the ASAMOTO that grandpa made.
But I don't like how the company is now.
Your grandpa was also pretty free spirited.
But when he was set to do something he saw it through.
Well, because of that, the people around him also had hard times.
You're just like him.
Huh?
Mika-san.
Night-kun.
What is it?
Can I talk to you?
Huh? What is it?
Mika-san, can you help convince Riko to not give up on her dreams?
Huh?
I'm asking you, please.
What's with that?
You're Riko's good friend, right?
Good friend?
I've never thought of her like that.
Mika-san.
What're you doing?
Can you break down that door?
Why did you lock me in?
Why?
An old model robot like you has ceased being useful.
I am the one that can make Riko happy.
Riko-san.
Toshiki-san.
I'm glad I caught you on time.
Huh?
There's something I want you to see.
Is anyone there?
Riko.
01 violated his public disturbance programming code.
This isn't good. If he runs wild, people could get hurt.
- Let's go. - Yes, sir.
Um, where are we going?
Let's go to Yatsugatake to see the shooting stars.
Huh?
It's much prettier than the planetarium.
Um, but.
Don't you want to forget your troubles?
That's true.
Excuse me.
Namikiri-san, is something wrong?
Izawa-san, are you with 01?
No, Night's not here.
I see, thanks.
Ah, hello?
"To Riko"
"Riko, you can reach your dreams."
Riko-san?
Actually I...
I'm the one that can make you happy Riko-san.
Riko-san, I like you.
I borrowed a motorcycle.
So let's go.
Ah.
Wait Toshiki-san.
Ah.
I can't go after all.
I appreciate how you feel but...
Riko-san, I'll change your life for you.
If you're with me, you'll be happy.
Please stop.
Let go!
Let go of Riko!
Night.
Night!
It's no use.
My abilities are greater than yours.
So you're...
I'm Kronos Heaven's Nightly Series Type 02.
A robot?
I, the high-end model, am meant to be Riko-san's ideal boyfriend.
Riko's ideal boyfriend is me.
With this level of power, you'll never be able to protect Riko-san.
Night.
It's dangerous, Izawa-san. Stay back.
Riko!
Simulation Complete: Chance of survival: 0% Chance of Damaging Self: 99%
01.
Night?
Riko, are you OK?
Are you OK Night?
Yes. I'm fi...
F... fine... f... ine...
Huh? What happened?
Night?
Night! Get a hold of yourself!
Namikiri-san, is Night alright?
Yes. It looks like he's resting due to an error.
Fix him, please.
Fix him properly, please.
Leave it to me.
Riko-san, I'm glad you're OK. I was worried.
Stay away!
Without a doubt, I am the one that can make you happy.
- Tanaka, shut him up. - Yes, sir.
Sorry, but you lost this battle.
This new model sure is convenient.
Connecting.
What?
He cancelled it himself?
Riko, are you OK?
Night.
Are you injured?
I was worried about you Night.
I thought you were broken.
Sorry. I'm fine, though.
Sorry, because of our mistake...
A new model robot was dispatched to your place.
It'll take more than an apology.
Izawa-san, for a limited time we'll allow you to swap the 01 model for the 02 model for free.
How about it?
No thanks.
Night is an important part of my life.
Is that so?
That's so, isn't it?
Riko, let's go home.
Yea.
If you'll excuse us.
Yea.
Hey wait, 01.
You can't be her ideal boyfriend like that.
Thank you very much.
- Will it fit? - Yes.
Hey, why do you think she chose 01 over 02?
Huh? Why?
The love that exists outside his programming ...
She's just starting to react to it.
Izawa Riko chose 01 over 02 in the end.
The one that stole her heart was 01.
I can't believe the feature-rich 02 ended up losing.
01 is the robot I made.
No matter how advanced the 02 model is
If it can't protect it's lover from danger, it has no business being an ideal love robot.
02 will be dismantled.
A decision on mass production will be made later.
Yes, sir.
Namikiri-san, how long will you keep hiding 01's irregularities?
You're too attached to 01.
He's just a robot.
Thanks for dinner.
Riko.
Thanks for today.
Huh? What for?
Well, you were worried about me right?
Riko, you must like me after all.
Don't decide that by yourself.
Oh sorry, Fujiko-san, you had to treat us.
It's OK, I'll deduct it from your wages.
Huh!
It's a joke.
Oh Night. Thanks for this.
The tickets went to waste.
It wasn't a waste.
We'll be going.
Oh OK, take care.
OK. Good night.
Good night.
Oh, Riko.
What is it?
Oh uh.
Um, it's nothing.
Um, good night.
Good night.
It couldn't be.
Falling in love with a robot.
Letter of Resignation
Um, boss.
You're here early.
You too, boss.
About the competition ...
Let's do it together.
Yes. I don't want to give up, after all.
But what should we do?
What's wrong, Riko?
You were here?
Yes.
Only one entrant is allowed from ASAMOTO.
But Natsumi-san is entering right?
Riko, competitions aren't everything.
Yea, that's true.
No, we'll enter the competition.
But...
It'll be OK.
Because I quit the company.
Huh!?
