It's Ai... Ai is...!
It really looks like something happened. The deck seems to be in high heat.
It's been a week since Ai has gone missing.
Tell me if there's anything I can do.
- Ah... - Does it lack taste?
Ai's cooking is really bad.
It's alright if you don't participate in the sequel. I don't want you to be forced in doing it.
Okay.
Ai?
- Tell me where I can find Mr Shimuzu. - What?
Just tell me! Hurry!
~ And it's watching over you always ~
~ No matter how many times I repeat, so long as you're with me ~
~ Love love love is forever an undying heart ~
~ Love, love, love ~

Hey, hey... Okay, okay. Stop!
- Just what is that video? - Oh, you watched it? Isn't it great?
- That has become viral. - I'll tell.
I'll tell the police that it's illegal. Please give Ai back!
Okay. What will you tell the police?
You're gonna say your Video Girl has been stolen?
- Ms Ai is here. - Oh, how's her make up?
- How is it? - It's nice.
Ai!
Who the hell are you?
Huh?
Ms Ai, if you please.
- Have fun. - Alright!
- Preparations are done. - If you please.
- That's cute. - I just verified what's next...
Ai became my Video Girl.
I actually had no intention of snatching her away from you.
Isn't she exactly the same with the animation visual?
It's better if the original character will be used as a selling point.
It would also be advantageous for the competition if she appeared.
That's what I wanted to convey to you guys.
And then...
Yo. Here.
Am I your Video Girl?
Don't you remember anything?
I am a Video Girl whose duty is to comfort the person who is troubled.
The reason I am here is because
someone played the video...
That's me.
I played the video.
I see.
You are now my Video Girl,
Ai.
What do you want me to do?
That is the Ai I wanted.
She is special.
She was born to comfort and heal people who are troubled.
She's an idol among idols. You get that, right?
- But Ai is... - It's gonna be alright. She's really gonna sell.
Please return Ai.
- Did you listen to what I said? - I beg you, please return her to me.
You know, when something was picked up on the streets without a name on it,
it now belongs to the one who picks it up.
Besides, she doesn't belong to you originally.
That's good. Shall we try to expose more skin?
- Okay. Then shall I remove my tops? - Yeah.
- Wait, hold it, hold it. - Stay back.
Hey brat!
Could you not get in the way of business?
I think Ai had fallen in love with people.
A normal Video Girl would be
programmed not to fall in love with people.
But Ai was played back from a damaged deck and is not a regular being.
Unexpected emotions have been sprung forth
that can cause bugs and breakdowns.
How is she?
I don't really know.
H-How would I bring back Ai's memories?
I don't know. The creator is now gone.
While her memories aren't back,
I can think the end of her playback is approaching.
Where did you went to this early?
I'm sorry.
Huh?
I'm also here at this early.
I'm just worried about you.
Thank you.
You even told me about the video.
Ah...
It's nothing.
What happened to Ai?
Because it's weird.
Sorry. I'm a bit dizzy. Is it alright if I take a shower?
What?
Ah, yes...
Moteuchi.
- The door bell just rang, right? - Yes.
- It rang twice? - Probably.
Then it's Tomoaki.
- I'm going to leave the room! - Okay.
Hm?
Since when were you here?
Just awhile ago.
Um, it's just that I'm also worried.
I know.
Sorry.
I didn't thought it would be used like that video.
And to think they would even use her.
It's not your fault, Tomoaki.
Why is Ai with Shimizu?
I don't know.
You don't know? Didn't you talk to her?
But I think she's having fun.
But is it normal for someone to go to that kind of man?
She went there without telling
you or your uncle, right?
- Stop with that already. - No, I won't.
It's because of Shimizu that we got manipulated like this.
For whom did we do it?
No matter how popular it might be,
we won't be credited at all.
Well, in a sense,
we just showed what we can actually do.
Even though it's frustrating.
I wonder if Ai was somehow threatened.
It's not like she was forced to do it.
But isn't weird when she was always with us?!
Enough already!
Excuse me.
Sorry.
No, it's okay...
I'm gonna cook something. I'm sorry that I didn't notice.
Don't trouble yourself. I'm gonna go buy something since there aren't enough ingredients.
Then I'll do that.
You don't have to.
You've done too much in helping me out.
Okay...
What do you think of Rika?
Will she be able to support Sho?
I don't know.
It's important that someone is with him.
What do you see?
What?
When I look at Rika,
I kinda don't like it that I see myself in her.
How so?
Will you even listen?
We're teammates after all.
There might be something I can do.
You're not thinking everything through.
That's mean you know.
The hell is that?
Sorry, I've had enough.
Can I ask you something?
Okay.
Ai is not really your cousin, right?
What?
Who is she really?
I won't tell anyone, so please tell it to me.
I'm also worried about her.
She's... not my cousin.
Girlfriend?
No.
Ai is...
I don't really know too.
Ai is a Video Girl.
I wonder who would believe me if I say the truth.
[ I will comfort you - Ai Amano ]
Now is really the time I want to be comforted...
How do you feel now that you're popular?
Hmm...
"Hmm"? Look at the comments.
Many people are happy when you're just singing and dancing.
- You sure are having fun. - Me?
No, you see... I'm having fun!
I'm very happy! Happy.
I came out to comfort you, right?
Just what exactly was I doing for you?
It's alright! You know,
you're making everyone happy by singing and dancing.
I feel cheerful that what I believed in was recognized.
You've really done well for my sake.
Okay.
Then, shall we get prepared for the photobook?
- Okay. I'm gonna do my best. - Good.
- Miyuki! - Yes, Sir.
~ I won't give up until that day comes ~
~ When my true feelings will reach you ~
It was nice. It would be better if you sing it with a wider audience.
Thank you very much.
Ai continue to pass the days where she has lost her memories.
Who the hell are you?
Is that what it really means for her to be alive?
I wonder how a Video Girl, how Ai
could be said that she's alive?
If I forced Ai to vanish, I wonder if I would be back to zero?
If I do that, things that happen between me and Ai will be forgotten.
It's the first time I cut my hair this short.
I'm digging in.
Okay.
I tried to make it tasteless.
So that I would be closer to Ai's cooking.
Can't I become
the replacement for Ai?
- I... - Sorry.
Sorry.
I thought so.
You might not believe this
but Ai currently has lost her memories.
She even forgotten about me...
Even said to me "Who the hell are you?".
But... I...
I...
I can't forget her...
It's alright.
I've already known.
I know that you don't feel the same about me.
But still...
I feel unpleasant if I just leave things as they are.
But isn't it really hard that I won't be able to do anything?
I will not show myself to you from now on.
I'm very sure that Ai's memories will be back.
When that happens and I'm here, she won't be able to come back.
Rika...
I'll be fine.
If the person you love is at your side,
please do your best for her.
I've continued to be alone with myself.
Staying unhurt, not knowing grief and joy.
But is that what it means to be alive?
Maybe that is what she wanted to say.
She cried that day, when we laughed together that time.
That moment when she gathered her courage and conveyed her feelings.
That kind of scar in her memories
would be an accurate proof that someone was there for me.
Ai, I want to restore your memories.
The days we spent together
will be the proof that you were alive.

Stop this already.
Who are you?
What?
Ai sure will be happy that there is someone who is trying their best and think of her like this.
Can't you trust me that far?
Huh?
