My parents divorced.
Moteuchi. I heard you're now living alone?
You've been hiding your feelings for someone you like. You're now separated with your parents and alone.
I will try my best to comfort you.
A girl came out of the TV!
I am Ai Amano.
- Do you by chance know here Line account? - But there's nothing we can talk about.
Even so! Aren't you going to get closer to her?
Maintaining the current situation is the best option. That is our right answer.
It seems like you can get better when you're talking with Tomoaki.
Is it alright to you keep hiding your feelings?
- Uncle. - It's me, Yota. Yota Moteuchi.
25 years ago, you and me lived here together.
What?!
- So you touched the deck. - I'm sorry.
The hell with the joke.
25 years ago is just too weird.
It's an era where video tapes don't exist.
That's because your senses stopped in the 90s.
It's now the year 2018.
2... what?!

Having accomplished your duties as a Video Girl,
you should have been sleeping in this deck.
For 25 years.
What a shock.
- Video Girl. - Playback is three months.
After the playback is finished, Ai should have returned to the tape.
- If no problem would happen. - Don't say things like something bad will happen.
Something impossible already happened.
- What? For three months? - For?
- That's inconvenient to me! - See! Now he says that.
I wanted to be alone that's why I started living here.
Why for three months?
Say something to him, old man.
Hm?
It's just that you're really the Ai from that time.
What?
Oh no. I forgot something really important.
He seems very busy.
What is it?
Let's have some fun.
- You're really so innocent. - Huh?
- You're thinking of the girl you like, right? - Don't point at me.
To be sincere with the girl you like,
it's betrayal even to live with me under one roof.
That's what you're thinking, right?
You sure is blunt.
That's not it.
You're disturbing me loitering around.
I have something I have to do. I want to concentrate!
I see.
So it's an era where Video Girl is not needed anymore.
Even though I cannot much imagine
what happened in 25 years,
but I somehow understand
that I'm an old existence.
In the first place, it's weird.
In the original design, I should not talk like a boy like this.
I have a bug.
I'm a defect.
I'll disappear.
I'm sure it's better that way...
I've discussed it with my uncle.
He perhaps will be sad.
I mean, about being rash.
Where did Uncle go?
[ Yota Moteuchi ]
He sure doesn't answer.
What is this?
You would want some breakfast, right?
Since it seems like you've only eaten instant noodles.
I'm configured to be like a pro.
Come on. Come on, come on.
How is it? Isn't it good?
What're you doing?! Hey!
Can you even eat this? You really have a bug.
Huh? My skills are at the same level as a pro chef.
What is this? Just what is this?!
- Sho, I have to go. - I'll redo it.
It's alright already.
You've already made it after all.
Found one of your good points again.
What? You're only doing unnecessary things.
Ah. You're also going to eat, right?
- What? - Don't worry. I'll fix the taste this time.
Video Girls only appear before boys with a pure heart.
She appears when she is needed from the bottom of the heart.
I thought she would never appear again.
There must be a reason for this.
I'm sure you have a reason for her to be here.
Here's a large serving for you, Uncle.
At least a normal serving please.
She'll get better.... maybe.
I was told to imagine.
Inside the TV screen, she asked me to imagine what I wanted.
- Okay. - That's why, how should I say this...
I am also responsible for it.
Well, I don't have enough explanation beforehand.
And there are many things I want to say.
But, yeah...
Okay. I should get going then.
- What? You're leaving me alone? - Well, you seem already fine.
There's something I need to confirm quickly.
- Someone's here. - Coming!
I forgot!
Ah. Um... Could this be Moteuchi's house?
That's right.
Why do you just go out?!
- Isn't it normal to open the door when the bell rings? - No, you won't!
- I'll open it! - It's alright if you don't!
- Cousin? - Ah... Yep.
- Right, Uncle? - Y-yeah.
Right? My daughter... Right?
Right? Ah...
She's my daughter, Ai.
I'm Ai. Nice to meetchya~
- Meetchya? - I'm Nanami Shibahara.
- Ah, want some tea? - Ah, it's alright. You don't have to...
- No, please have some. - I'll do it, man.
- Forget it, forget it! - "Man"?
Overseas... She has been living long overseas.
- That's why her way of talking is... - Overseas?
Um, at Calfo... Californala...
- California? - That!
- I'll go get it. - Okay.
I'll be going then. Good luck.
No way! At this kind of timing?
Wouldn't it be strange that an old man like me
- would be mixed up with this? - But it's a parent-child setting.
I'm quite shocked. I used to introduce Ai as my younger sister.
I wouldn't have thought there would come a day I would introduce her as my daughter.
This is not an exaggeration when I say that today would be
- where I'm most shocked. - What are you talking about?!
- Ah, you're his classmate. - Yeah.
Then listen. There's a girl Sho likes and...
Ah!
Hey, Ai. I wonder what are you talking about?
- We're talking about the girl you like. - What? You should shut up?
You two seems to get along well.
Not at all. Not at all! Right?
Huh? Where will he go?
Uncle! Wait!
- Uncle! - It's going to be alright. It'll work out somehow.
- I also helped you somehow. - What?
Have faith in Ai.
I'm sure you'll understand her merits.
I'm relieved that I saw you. You look well.
- Bye! - Uncle...
Huh? Did Uncle just leave?
I mean Dad.
Yeah. Huh? What?
- Let's go out. - Huh?
Before Tomoaki arrives, let's go shopping. Like some snacks.
Ah!
Even though you can drink water from the faucet,
why do you spend money for some water?
Nanami, do you like someone?
- What? - Well, I can somehow tell.
- Yes. - Oh. I see.
But he doesn't notice me.
What? Even though he's pretty close to you?
Hmm... I guess.
I just don't know what I should do.
Even though we're talking normally.
Sorry. Did you wait long?
- What took you so long? - What?
[ It was so delicious!! Nanami, would you like to come? Sorry, I can't today!!]
[ How frustrating Nanami ]
- Sorry. - No problem.
- You seem so busy. - What? Kinda...
I think it's better to call them instead.
Invite them here. That would be faster, right?
- Hmm... - That's not it.
It's not about things where you meet and talk about.
But you two met.
That's us. Because we have a reason.
It's alright. I also prefer to talk to people in front of me.
What the hell is that? It sure is troublesome.
Forget it. Talk directly. Directly.
- Moteuchi. - Hm?
Tomoaki said he can't come.
Huh? What's his reason?
I don't know.
What should we do then?
It would be better to talk to him directly. You won't know if you don't, right?
[ Sorry!! I got something to do!! Please continue with the two of you!! ]
Is it really okay to cancel it?
Ah, that's right. I was in the middle of cleaning.
Hey, are you there?
So how was yesterday?
What's the progress? I meant for both.
The script and the two of you.
- Why didn't you come yesterday? - Sorry.
I met with the producer, Mr Shimizu.
- Hm? - You don't know him? He produced "Last Step".
He's the one who made that big hit movie.
I see.
Don't you want to receive a pro's advice?
He also used to be a judge at an animation contest.
I thought he's good.
Yesterday, I finally got hold of him at Facebook.
It's amazing you got hold of it.
I sent such a long message.
- I got lost with my passion. - Nice going.
Then when we met, I talked about our script.
Who is she?
Why are you here?!
I see. So you're Tomoaki.
- Hey! - Hey!
She's a distant relative. What are you wearing?!
Doesn't it look great? Please call me Ai.
She's a bit weird.
Leave now.
It's alright if I'm just here.
It's already abnormal with you only to be here. No. You should go out now.
- Let's go. - Huh? Is it okay?
I'm leaving...
Of course not.
Is it really that bad?
No, I'm not saying it's bad.
It's better to show to people good situations as much as possible.
How should it be fixed?
I want some reality.
But the setting is originally a fantasy.
No. It's okay.
It's alright not to force adding romantic elements.
This is more of an opinion,
but I think it's better that Nanami will use what she truly feels as the subject.
Instead of lip service.
Okay.
It's true I'm suppressing something.
I think my true feelings aren't reached.
But just like everything within the story
I think I want it to be just as I wished.
Let's talk more concretely. Like how we should change some parts.
I...
...like you, Tomoaki.
But it's like you don't accept it at all.
That what I mostly feel now.
Okay.
I think of you as one of my partners.
I can't draw like Sho.
I don't have the ability to write like you.
I only have the feeling of making the two of you be
recognized by everyone.
That's why I can only think that I want to talk about our work with the best we can do.
What if I say I will quit?
Is that the degree of what you want to do?
Please give me a little time.
Aren't you going to eat?
Nothing... I have nothing.
Huh?
All the things going on have nothing to do with me.
Heavy.
I think you're amazing.
The drawing in the sketchbook is really cute.
Why did you look?!
Nanami is the girl you like, right?
Mind your own business.
Show it to her.
I really thought that they're secluded the true feelings.
They're always showing such kind faces.
Because she has someone she likes.
Shibahara has someone whom she wants her feelings to answer to.
The hell with that.
Stop feeling the mood!
If you like her, tell it. Idiot!
- How cliche. - Huh?
What the hell was that? It's cliche...
What's with you, geez!
I'm digging in.
Hm? It got better a little.
Just ask for more seconds.
What's that?
Your finger.
Ah... So you noticed?
It's really troublesome to have a bug.
Hm?
- It's nothing. - What is it?
[ Can I meet you tomorrow after school? ]
[ I have something to talk to you alone ]
What should I when I meet her?
I told you... This is it! This!
[ Instead of a faraway prince, the nearer you is better! ]
I found it in your uncle's room. [ Instead of a faraway prince, the nearer you is better! ]
Please tell me the color of your underwear?
Will love grow when at times you don't meet?
That's totally a lie!
Things won't start when you're not with her!
So it says.
Things won't start if you're not with her.
Don't miss the times when you're with Nanami.
[ If she's hurt, that's a chance! Kindness is a wonder drug of love! ]
I loved novels since I was a child.
I thought that someday I will write my own.
But I never wrote something that I actually finished.
Writing a script is hard.
Sorry that I have to talk to you about this.
I only have you...
Shibahara.
Ah, ne...
Ne... next time...
Would you like to see a movie?
- What? - Ah, let's watch a movie... together...
With me...

What will you do?
What about your feelings?
I think you're really fulfilling the duty.
Nanami, can I talk to you for a sec?
It's good!
I won!
I'm having fun talking to you.
I like that part of you.
