Thank you so much!
I can't believe you're making a game to help with my debt!
What?
What is he talking about?
I dunno...
Um, Mr. Brother?
Your debt?
Yeah.
My company's not producing anything right now due to lack of funds.
The distributor and the bank won't lend us money.
I thought I'd have to go bankrupt and leave the industry.
But thanks to you all--
I'm sorry...
...but what are you talking about?
Huh? Uh...
Sayuki said you all agreed to it.
Did she...
I'm back.
Are you on br--
Sayuki.
Big Brother?
Why are you...
Kuroda-san.
There's something I want to ask you.

So we basically were working off your brother's debt?
Yes.
What, so we're your slave labor?
You said we were gonna make another game with the profit we made from Asamori-san!
Or was that a big lie too?
No.
So you were just never gonna tell us?
I was going to tell you eventuall--
I can't believe you!
This is so dumb.
A..Ando-san.
I'm not coming back.
Data's all yours, whatever.
Pay me or not.
I'm sorry, I...
I don't think I can concentrate.
I'm sorry.
Kuroda-san.
You're the worst.
Bunta...
Sorry. Just head out without me.
Okay.
I didn't think you'd understand.
I'm sorry.
I'll find a way to recompense you all for your wo--
That's not the problem!
That's not what we wanted!
Shoryuken
Hey, Nakajima!
Set the tables, now!
And get that delivery out!
Got it! Boss, they're linin' up out front.
I know!
Bunta! Long time no see!
Yeah.
Can I take the delivery?
Huh? Yeah.
Bunta!
Hey.
What's up with him?
Cheer up, Bunta!
Bunta! Cheer up, Bunta!
Why?!
Hyakkei Municipal Academy
Bunta.
Hey.
Sorry I left you there yesterday.
I left, too.
Huh?
I thought you wouldn't quit.
Why?
'Cause Kuroda-san's still there.
Yeah, so?
I mean...
Shoryuken
What happened?
Huh?
You stopped doin' all this stuff and said you wanted to focus on just the one.
Life happens.
Yeah.
Mitsuteru-san
Excuse me a sec.
Mitsuteru-san
Hello?
Buntarou? It's me, Mitsuteru.
Sorry about what happened. How've you been?
Um, where are you right now?
Taiko-san wanted to come out here.
We're celebrating.
We finished our game.
C-congratulations.
How's it on your end?
Uh...
Well, you've got two weeks till you gotta finish.
You've got time.
Make something good.
Else it won't be much of a competition.
Later.
Hojo
Yo!
Don't you "yo" me.
Wait, Atomu's here too?
Wanna hear about when I got invited out to a singles mixer?
Now see here.
So everyone was like "Kai-kun, you're so cute!"
And that's when I realized "Oh, they're so not interested in me."
Oh, jeez.
I shouldn't have tried to get my comfort from 3D.
Guys, I'm sorry.
Huh?
Bunta?
Sorry.
Oh, dammit!
Kuroda-san, you moron!
I finally put on my best performance, too...
It was really fun.
Though it was a ton of work.
Yeah, it felt really good when I finished writing.
I felt it, too!
When I finished recording, I was so happy!
That's why I was...
really looking forward...
to finishing it.
Take a look! "24 Hours with Asamori-san" Releasing soon?! A game veiled in secrecy. What's it all about?
What's wrong, Uguisu?
Why are you crying?
A game that Bunta wrote,
that Tori-chan drew the characters,
that Akkina put together,
that I did the voice acting...
I wanted to see it done.
If we'd kept going, we would've made something great.
But now...
Good morning.
Looks like you finished.
This is a souvenir. Here.
What's your dream...
...Kuroda-san?
Big Brother
Hello?
Yeah. I'm in the clubroom.
I might stay overnight.
No, I'm alright.
I'll do what I can.
Okay, good night.
Hojo-kun?
I'm gonna see it to the end after all.
I didn't have anything.
Nothing I wanted to do, no talent.
I thought there must be something for me, so I tried working part-time in a bunch of places.
But I couldn't find any place where I could work my hardest.
I always thought I was a boring guy.
But you asked me to come make a game with you, Kuroda-san.
At first it took everything I had just to keep up with you,
but I started having more and more fun.
Maybe the something I was looking for was there.
I started it because you told me to.
But I wanna see it through to the end!
You feel that way, even now?
And that's not it.
I wanna finish it!
Not because I wanna beat Typhoon, and not because it's fun to make.
But because I wanna see how far our game can go!
I wanna--
I wanna contend for the wasteland.
Is that it?
Huh?
Wait, what? Was I wrong?
No, you're not wrong.
I heard you out in the hall.
Don't worry about hiding your real intentions, Kuroda-san.
After all, 3D girls always lie to you.
Kai...
You just come out and say the worst things...
I'm glad I found something I can do, too.
How about you, Yuka?
I'm not okay with this!
But I'll give you a do-over.
If we're gonna do it, I wanna win.
Of course.
Sorry to interrupt.
Yuki!
I-I, I'm still sad.
But it's not the game's fault.
I'd be sad if the characters I worked so hard to draw never got seen by anyone.
Yuki...
But what you did is wrong, Kuroda-senpai!
I'm sorry, but please apologize!
I'm sorry.
If you think that takes care of everything, you've got another think coming!
What should I do?
Now we're even.
I don't want those Typhoon bastards to laugh at us,
and the users are waiting on us, too!
Ando...
Hey!
Don't just go messing with my code!
Jeez!
Everything's back to the way it was.
Yeah!
Thank you, everyone.
Alright! Let's keep working!
Let's go, Rokuhara!
Yeah!
10 Days until FINISHED!
Yuki,
the shop just sent us the request for the illustrations for the special edition.
S-so what do they need?
A picture with all the girls in sexy swimsuits,
a picture with all the girls playing twister in their underwear,
a picture with all the girls doing rhythmic gymnastics and grappling,
a picture of all the girls in the bath censored by bubbles laughing and playing...
7 Days until FINISHED!
You said so!
I did not!
You did!
I definitely didn't!
You said you'd do it yourself!
When? Gimme the exact hour, minute, and second!
3 Days until FINISHED!
Th-th-this isn't good!
Kirika's saying Sabaki's lines!
We can't re-record anything now!
D-did I screw up? Where?!
Look!
W-we're okay.
Kirika's just imitating Sabaki's voice here.
Oh, really?
That scared me.
Please don't make me sweat like that.
2 Days until FINISHED!
Crunch Time Sleepover!
A, a white sea urchin...
A white...
1 Day until FINISHED!
Nothing's missing!
No problems here, either.
FINISHED!
We did it!
Hurry, get ready to burn the data! We did it!
Hurry, get ready to burn the data!
Just a little more.
Yeah, almost done.
Okay, it's burned!
The files were successfully burned to disc.
Mine's done, too!
Kuroda-san! Are we finished?
Yes. Let's have a toast when we're done.
Kuroda-san, hurry!
Wait.
24 Hours with Asamori-san Master Disc 2
Roku
Huh?!
What?
Uh, nothing...
I won't get mad. What is it?
O-only the low resolution CGs are in here!
Which means...
We have to fix it.
What?! We won't make it in time!
We have to send it in today.
It has to get there tomorrow!
I'll deliver it to the factory myself.
Huh?
The master disc?
Where is it? Is it close?
It's about three hours one way by bullet train.
Will we make it in time?
I won't let us fail.
I won't!
Crunch Time Sleepover!
Hurry!
Burning
9 minutes until the city-bound train's here!
How much longer?
Shut up, I know, okay!
Kuroda-san,
head to the station first!
But--
You were up all night, there's no way you can run there.
Just go wait at the station.
Leave it to us!
We'll definitely succeed!
We'll be right there!
Alright.
Just a little longer...

24 Hours with Asamori-san Master Disc 2
Atomu, hurry!
Hurry, hurry!
Here!
Huh? Bunta?
C'mon!
Yuka!
Bunta!
Go!
I'm not gonna lose to Kuroda-san, you got that!?
Hojo-kun!
Please do not run for the train.
Yuka I'm so tired. But whatevs!! Buntarou We made it!
Finishing the game was more hell than I'd heard.
We've just got to do stealth marketing and other things before the release date.
We're done, but we're not done...
Making games really is hell.
We skipped school.
It's just one day.
What should we get as a souvenir?
Somethin' to eat...
It was one hell of a trip...
that didn't go well by any standard.
There were a lot of times where it seemed we'd stray from the path,
but even so, we stuck together,
and the view of the wasteland we arrived in was more wonderful than we could've ever imagined.
