Spring's really here.
Hey, what's up?
Oh, Tomoki. It's a good thing you came.
What are you doing?
Trying to scavenge some food.
She looks like she really needs some.
I'm so hungry...
Delta!
She got stuck on the fishing line when she tried to fish,
and she's been lying there for the past three days.
So, she hasn't eaten a thing in three days?!
As if!
I haven't had anything to eat or drink for a week now!
I have to head out for a bit.
Can you get her some food?
No way! Why do I have to do it?!
Is there nothing I can say to change your mind?
Nope!
Guess I have no choice then.
Why me?
I wonder what you'll catch.
Nymph, could you come over here for a second?
What is it, Sugata?
I have a favor to ask of you.
Hold on to this for me.
A watch?
And...
That shouldn't be too much of a problem.
What are you do-
I told you I was going out for a while.
You're...
Let's get started.
Um...
You followed me?
Yeah. This is Tomo's dream, isn't it?
Even though he denied it, I guess.
Why did you come here?
I came to investigate.
Investigate? But there's nothing here.
There's just that weird stone monument, those trees,
and nothing but sky for as far as the eye can see.
Mitsuki. Look down.
A Friend and a Super-Sibling from the Heavens
It'll be fine, so don't move around too much.
Okay.
Do you remember hearing about the Synapse, Mituski?
The Synapse?
Isn't that the place where Ikaros and them were built?
That's right.
A long time ago, Ikaros told us that she was a product of the Synapse.
From what Astrea has told me, it seems that...
the disturbance in the Earth's magnetic field above Sorami City...
is the Synapse.
I see...
I don't think we should tell Tomoki yet,
but it looks like his dreams and the Synapse are interlinked.
In other words, the world we're seeing right now is the Synapse.
W-Wait. Why does Tomo have that in his dreams?
I don't know.
I don't even know what the Synapse is, to tell you the truth.
That's why I decided to investigate it.
It's best you don't touch anything unnecessarily.
I'm sorry.
I can see Sorami City from here.
Yeah.
Let's go. I want to check out some of the other areas.
Okay.
I can't catch a damn thing.
It's still kinda chilly.
She's not cold?
What is this?
Why?
I don't really know what this thing is,
but I hope it's something perverted.
It's pretty warm here.
Yeah.
I'm kinda surprised.
I wouldn't have expected the Synapse to be so beautiful.
I thought it'd be more...
You thought there'd be a mechanical horizon...
and huge buildings towering over us?
Yeah. I mean, this is the place...
that made those weird cards Ikaros and them have.
Well, this is only one small segment of the Synapse.
It's been bugging me that we haven't seen any people yet.
You've got a point.
I wonder where all the people who live here have gone.
Well, if someone does spot us,
and we become surrounded by Angeloids, it'll all be over.
Sugata!
We can't let her make any noise.
Huh?
Everyone here is an Angeloid...
Yeah.
So, where are the people?
Let's go take a look.
Now this looks like something you'd find in a science fiction novel.
Yeah.
All right, let's go in.
Wait! We can't just...
If we just stand here and look at it, we won't learn anything.
Let's see what we can find.
They don't realize I'm here?
Man, I'm tired.
The boss is gonna work me like a dog again.
What the hell...
Dammit! Where the hell did he go?!
He can't just make someone else get food for him!
The Prez and Sohara have just vanished into thin air, too!
Master, I have some food here.
Is this not right?
We can't eat that! Get rid of it!
How about this?
Now I'm gonna get eaten!
No!
Look at that.
It's that scum from Class C, Sakurai.
He's always causing trouble. What a pain in the ass he is.
Really? Sakurai always seems to be having fun.
It feels like he's alive, you know?
I like that... I like that about him.
Where am I?
I see. So this dome is the real world, huh?
What was all of that?
Why did I see things from the surface?
Does that mean they've been watching humanity this whole time?
No... That's not it.
If...
If the hypothesis I just hit upon is correct....
I like that... I like that about him.
That's impossible!
What do you think everyone's doing in those capsules?
They're dreaming.
What do you mean?
I'm itching to tell you everything,
but unfortunately, it's time for your execution.
Too bad. Looks like we'll have to take a rain check on this one.
Yeah, it looks like it's time to go.
What?! It's a Dive Game teleport!
Wh-What's going on?!
Oh, it's quite simple.
I gave Nymph a watch before we came here,
and told her to teleport us out when the time came.
I predicted the exact amount of time it would take for us...
to investigate the Synapse and for you to capture us, plus a few extra minutes on top.
Damn it!
I was worried how capable the citizens of the New World would be,
Damn... Damn...
but it seems that there's really not much difference...
Damn!
...between us humans and you.
You're listening, aren't you, Master of the Synapse?
I shall return.
You understand English, don't you?
Goddamn Downers!
Interesting.
You'd better show me a good time.
Welcome back.
H-Hey.
Thanks. You saved us.
Just in the nick of time.
Of course.
You made me catch food for you this whole time!
What are you doing in here?!
Tomo...
You were sitting around on your asses!
Sorry. I'll help you now.
Really?
Did you catch anything?
Nope.
Nymph.
What is it?
I want to ask you something.
Am I real?
I suppose that means you saw it.
I guess that's why there were protections on Tomoki's dreams.
Don't worry. You're real. You are, at least.
So, you didn't end up catching a thing?
I couldn't help it!
Well, with this wild grass that Mitsuki and Mikako fetched for us,
we can only really make a vegetable stew, but...
Here you go, Astrea.
Eat heartily and regain your strength!
What a kind person!
She must really be a good-natured person!
We have more, if you want any.
We have this, too.
Seconds please!
I'm full!
I'm glad, Astrea!
Sorry for making you wait so long.
This is bad!
Master would kill me if he found out...
that I was getting along so well with the enemy!
If you think that giving me a little food will make me happy, you're mistaken!
Hmph!
Thanks for the meal!
I brought it back with me...
but what is it?
You're actually something perverted, aren't you?
How do I use it?
Like this?
Or maybe like this?
No, maybe... it's a new form of art?
Or maybe...
Okay, just relax.
It feels nice!
I don't know what this is, but I like it!
It's moving!
Oh, I know!
It's done!
What are you up to, Tomoki?
Good morning, Master.
Ikaros, give me a card!
Okay.
My dream has manifested itself right here!
Change Machine: New Panty Robo!
What is it?
You can't tell?!
It's the vehicle of heroes that I dreamed about as a kid!
You're telling me to get on?
All right! Let's go, brother!
Alpha?
And so,
day after day...
Reconnaissance device, activate!
I always hung out with him.
He never showed any disgust or disinterest...
in what I was doing and always helped me out.
Our friendship grew stronger, being around each other all the time,
and eventually, it was like we were really brothers.
You're here!
Now that Ikaros isn't around, I can get you good!
Sakurai Tomoki, prepare yourself!
Huh?
Oh, it's you.
Why is that here?!
I'm hungry...
This is all his fault!
I'm going to relieve you of your life today!
It's an enemy!
Panty Robo, fight!
Damn it! Why aren't you moving?!
I don't have enough pervergy?
Wait a second!
Finish her! Change Battle: New Panty Robo!
Take that!
Now, Robo! Get the enemy's breasts!
No!
And that is how we defeated the enemy and protected the world!
Hey, I'm back.
Sohara!
Tomo... what is this?
It's... um...
You don't need to say another word.
You told me you threw out all my panties.
Um... I...
You've prepared yourself for the consequences, right?
Oh no. I'm done for!
Tomoki...
I can hear his voice!
Thank you...
for being my friend.
You're...
Hurry and run!
Before my life ends...
Stop...
We weren't together for that long,
but I was happy to have known you.
We're brothers.
Stop!
Tomoki!
?'s grave
And so, another person left my life.
Master, are you okay?
Parting is a natural occurrence in life.
I wonder what that was, anyway...
It fell from the sky...
It was something that fell from the Synapse.
The Synapse?
It didn't really look all that important, so that's good.
Huh? I don't really understand what you're saying.
It's the world in your dreams, Tomoki.
It doesn't look like he'll get it anytime soon.
Oh well.
What are you doing?
Whatever happens, I'll always be with you, Master.
Can we do something fun?

Make Up Your Mind! Heaven and Hell. Up and Down.
