Kyoto, 2027
Here in Kyoto City,
A collaborative work between Teito University and Pluura Corp.
digitally recording the town's history in complete detail,
Chronicle Kyoto is in progress...
Can we really make it?
Sure, we can! Let's dash!
Safe!
Karaoke?
Then, it's gotta be at Kawabara.
Hey, wanna come?
Hey!
Sorry, uhh...
Katagaki.
That's right, Katagaki.
The class is gonna have a gathering today.
It's karaoke.
Don't sweat it if you have something else to do.
Sorry.
No... Okay.
Let's go!
Wait up!
You're so slow!
Sorry about that.
Let's go!
Has everyone gone already?
Yeah. We're at around thirty today!
For pedestrians and bicycles
Determination
Never worry anymore! Decide quickly!
Yakiniku
Fish Sandwich
Yakiniku
What will you have?
Twisty bread
A twisty bread.
Here you go, one twisty bread.
Don't mind the others! Say what's on your mind!
Have you chosen anything for art?
Calligraphy, I guess.
I'm not good with that.
That's my seat...
- My handwriting sucks...
People like those should definitely be in calligraphy!
It really sucks, I tell you!
Don't let others decide for you! You decide for yourself!
Next up is for our Library Committee.
Anyone here who likes books?
Katagaki, huh.
How about it?
Uhmm...
I'll do it.
- Alright, let's have Katagaki.
- How do you write his name again?
I believe it's with the character for "hard"...
Next up, for the girls...
Ichigyo, wanna do it?
Good for you, Katagaki.
For pedestrians and bicycles
In times of doubt, believe in your gut feeling!
This doesn't help at all.
Which section is she in?
She looks like an idol!
So you're from East Middle School.
I also live around that area.
Time to start our committee meeting!
Library Committee Tasks Lending work, shelf sorting, old books sale for charity (around June)
- Rotation - How to use the POS machine - Class A-E order
Lastly, please gather around here.
Library Committee Tasks Lending work, shelf sorting, old books sale for charity (around June)
For communication purposes, I'm making a VIZ group for us.
Kadenokoji, let's exchange addresses!
Oh, sure!
Then, me too.
Hell yeah, we're in the same group!
Awesome!
Me too!
- In order, please.
- Thanks, Kadenokoji.
Connect with someone if you're not yet part of the group.
Let's get along.
Let's get our bags.
I-Ichigyo.
Uhmm, you aren't part of the group yet, right?
Are you not gonna... exchange addresses?
Do you have VIZ?
Well, if you don't have it, then just your number.
It's on your profile in the settings.
If anything's the matter, send it here.
Her physical address?
We'll be closed at 4:00 today to give way for our book arrangement.
Those who want to borrow books may do so until ten minutes...
Guess I'll read it at home...
What's that?
A crow?
Huh? It's leg is...
Hey,
wait up!
Where's that bird going?
What's this?
Huh?
I... got in.
I did it!
I have done it!
I finally got in!
It's a success. This is great!
But, the Fushimi Inari Shrine?
It's off the mark.
Is this the limit of its accuracy?
Wait, the place being off the mark means...
Hey, what's the date today?
- T-the 16th...
- Oh, you can't see me.
Naomi Katagaki?
Please don't follow me!
Wait up!
Hey, why are you running?
Who the heck was that guy?
I get it now.
This is useful.
How?
Three months beforehand. Good timing.
I'm gonna call the police.
Please don't follow...
me?
You can't see me?
Who in the world are you?
I'll tell you, whether you like it or not,
who I really am.
and who you really are, Katagaki Naomi.
Stop it!
You really came.
I was left with no choice.
Quit blabbering.
You got nothing to do today anyway.
Don't decide that on your own.
I'm busy even on Saturdays.
Two hundred books a year, huh.
Kyoto Historical Records Project Center
It's been seven years since 2020.
It's when Pluura, Keito University and Kyoto City started this joint project.
Chronicle Kyoto.
The job of Pluura, the world's biggest web service,
is as you all know,
to provide services such as maps, which are now indispensible parts of our lives.
These two-dimensional map records are made three-dimensional and more precise.
Plus, we can go back in time and look at various city information from different times.
That is the Chronicle Kyoto project.
And that's their front.
To record the city's data without any limits,
they need an enormous amount of storage space.
- However, thanks to the advancement of Pluura's quantum computers
- Good morning, everyone!
- If you're happy, you can do anything!
and Teito University's new theories, that became possible.
- Let's do our best today!
Professor, we have visitors today, so...
Beware of crows
And the computer that combines all these revolutionary technologies
- and makes it possible to limitlessly account for all of it--
the quantum memory device, Alltale.
Let's go.
Wait!
Uhm, I'm sorry.
I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now.
We have no time.
Let's take the bus.
Where are we going?
Demachiyanagi.
Search for a route.
Going to Demachiyanagi.
Increasing the accuracy of this is Chronicle Kyoto, isn't it?
That's right. But it's in a different level.
The quantum memory device, Alltale, has unlimited storage space.
It's not on the level of a few multiples.
It can record a billion or trillion times as much.
I can't even fathom that much.
Run for it. We're pressed for time.
Did we make it on time?
Why are we in this nothing place?
Nothing?
No, there's something here.
An event that's in the records.
The year 2020. Chronicle Kyoto's true plan was secretly initialized.
That is to measure the whole of Kyoto through a huge amount of measuring devices
and record all phenomena in Kyoto inside Alltale.
All... phenomena?
April 17, 2027.
Naomi Katagaki, who was reading by the riverbed,
accidentally got bumped by a falling drone.
That is the recorded past.
Past?
That's right. This is the past Kyoto recorded by Alltale.
You are the Naomi Katagaki recorded by Alltale.
And I am accessing Alltale from the real world,
The Naomi Katagaki ten years from now.
The me... ten years from now?
I know everything about you.
That's because I am you.
No need to say it.
I know.
That's why I am here.
You want...
to have a girlfriend.
No, not really.
You got injured.
So those actually fall down.
I called the city hall about it.
There's no need for that.
Thanks, mom.
Determination
You did buy that.
Are you really the future me?
Because we differ in height?
You're still gonna grow.
Well, this is just an avatar for access use.
Although I can change my appearance.
Is it true that this world is all just recorded data?
It is.
But just me saying it might seem meaningless.
This world is meant to be a complete copy of the real thing.
This is reality.
This is data.
And if I switch them over, you wouldn't even notice any changes.
Asking which is the right one is nonsense.
I can only think that way having been told that.
You took that in quickly.
It's Greg Egan-esque.
TL Note: Greg Egan is an Australian sci-fi writer.
But if that's the casse,
why did you come to the exact same world?
I said this earlier, so I'll say it again.
Wait!
I am here to solve your anguished youth.
In short, to get you a girlfriend.
Have you gotten used to the class?
So much!
Kadenon, let's go back to our classroom!
Sure!
See you this afternoon!
Bye!
Pass it over here!
Stop it already!
Oh crap!
Sorry about that.
- I'll have yakisoba bread.
- Lemme have two yakisoba breads!
One twisty bread.
And then, Yukawa has--
My seat.
Okay.
Borrow one book a week. - Library Committee
Why you...
Wait!
Why in the toile--
It's gonna raise suspicions if you talk by yourself outside.
Thanks for the concern.
So, have you checked?
Yes, I did see it.
But are you really sure?
Yeah.
Three months from now,
you and Ruri Ichigyo will become lovers.
What's with your expression?
Well, you see...
I think Ichigyo is impossible for me.
How?
Well,
I'm into cuter girls.
Someone who might bite when you get close
and a lone wolf like her is a bit...
Did you just say she's not cute?
No, I didn't say she wasn't cute.
In fact, she's gorgeous.
She's definitely not the cutesy type.
She is cutesy.
What are you even looking at?
Are you mistaking her for a different person?
I've had it. I'll go check.
She's at the library, right?
Remember, don't talk to me!
Wait up!
See, that's Ichigyo, right?
We're in the same committee, so there's no way I'd get that wrong.
Around the time we started dating,
an accident happened.
During the fireworks display we went together
she got struck by lightning.
unfortunately for her, she never opened her eyes again.
My mission is to alter the records.
Alter?
To change the records from three months later and prevent the accident.
If she continues to exist,
that will influence and naturally change all surrounding records.
Inside the unlimited storage space, it'll be recorded that Ruri Ichigyo is alive.
Is there any purpose for that?
Even if she's saved in the records,
she can't return in the real world.
So, why?
Truth be told, we just started dating.
We never gotten anywhere.
No memories made.
Not even a photograph.
I just want one thing.
I want to see her smile out of happiness.
I want that recorded.
I want that memory.
Even if that's not the real thing.
Even if she's not mine.
I can't do anything.
With an avatar, I can't even touch anything here.
I am powerless.
I beg you. Help me out.
I... Uhmm...
I don't know anything yet,
and I don't know much about Ichigyo.
I can't imagine a relationship like that,
but,
I'll probably be happy dating a beautiful girl like her,
so if it's to prevent the accident, I also want to save her.
Uhmm, how should I call you?
Then just call me "teacher".
Even just for appearances. A formality.
I'll teach you a lot of things.
I'm ten years ahead of you after all.
But I wonder,
what should I help you with?
I really can't do anything.
You know me.
Nope. You're not helpless anymore.
That's because me and...
this is here.
Naomi?
I'll be going now.
Imagine the result.
Imagine something as realistic and simple as you can.
Plastic, rubber, paper.
Do it in your mind,
and grab hold!
It came out.
That's Good Design--the hand of God.
It's a device that can directly access \the ecorded world and Alltale's data
and overwrite the world itself.
Turning air into water.
Turning soil into a gem.
Making something out of nothing.
This is an illusion.
As an avatar, I have little authority inside Alltale.
But Good Design has physical authority.
It can touch and intervene.
If you can master using that glove, you can make that illusion a reality.
That means, I can do anything?
As long as it's within reason.
However, there are lots of conditions.
First, only the part touched by the glove can be rewritten.
You can't make something from afar.
OK
Not OK
Coming from the air is OK
Change
Coming from afar is
Also, processing speed depends on the amount of information.
Simple stuff like water can be easily done.
On the other hand, complex things take time and are hard to imagine.
OK
Not OK
The most difficult thing to is a living creature.
Which part holds the most information in the body?
The brain?
The human mind is the center of information.
Even if you have Good Design, you can't really tinker with that.
So I can't overwrite the human mind?
Right. That would be my job.
Notebook: Strongest Manual
April 20 (Tue) Around 4:00 PM after school, I got to the bus stop to borrow some books from the North Library. I've been there a couple of times, but it's the first time I saw her there. It was when we weren't busy with Library Committee work yet
April 20.
I rode the bus to borrow books from the North Library.
That day, there was something that led us to become closer.
So if I do what my teacher told me to,
I'll be lovers with Ichigyo.
Wait, if that's the case, isn't doing nothing the best option?
With the two of us meeting, the records have started to change.
If we let it be, we don't know how much will change.
There's a need for you to proactively meet her.
Well, just leave it to me.
Just do according to what this says.
The strongest manual, where the future is written.
What should I do, teacher?
First up, bring out a book.
Open it.
And drop it.
Uhmm...
Pick it up.
What the hell.
Oops!
Alright.
There's no way that's alright!
She surely likes me less now!
To hell with your strongest manual!
Don't worry.
Meeting in progress. Please be quiet!!
It's a necessary step.
Uhmm, Ichigyo.
About yesterday, uhh...
I'm sorry.
I was trying to pick this up...
I was looking for that.
Sorry for not listening to you.
No, it's my fault.
If only I was able to explain things.
Here.
Thank you very much.
No problem.
April 21 (Wed) Library Committee Meeting
Gave her the bookmark. Reconciled with her.
I wonder if we got closer even just a bit.
Just a bit.
Well, don't rush it.
This is just the start of your romance.
April 23 (Fri) There was message sent via Viz from the Library Committee. At that time, I was reading a book, but I got the message from my phone. The chairman wants us members to sort the bookshelves and bring
Go even further, even if this love is so young
Haruka na saki e susume osana sugiru koi dato
Chairman: We'll have shelf maintainance on Monday, so bring rags individually. Contact everyone throughout Saturday.
even if the world points at us
sekai ga ushiro kara yubi sashitemo
go on without any hesitation to a universe for the two of us
mayowazu ni susume susume futari dake no uchuu e to
To Ruri Ichigyo
Sorting Day today!
Sorry, can't borrow books for now
this hand of mine trembling inside my pocket will take you there
POKETTO no naka de furueta kono te de ima kimi wo tsuredashite
Thanks for contacting me.
I don't know what I'll be come, so don't avert your gaze
mirai no boku wa shiranai dakara shisen wa tomaranai
May 6 (Thu) We're both in library duty. We're tasked with the counter and taking care of the returned books. There was a time that it was just the two of us. Although the two of us won't talk, there was a common topic that
your mysterious expressions and your meaningful moods
nazomeita hyougen gihou imishin na kimi no kishou
Even if the words "I love you" gets blown by the wind
AI RABU YUU sae kaze ni tobasaresou na toki demo
I'll never let go of this hand I'm awkwardly holding now
bukiyou nagara tsunaida kono te wa mou keshite hanasazu ni
Shall we go home now?
Then I'll be on my way.
We rode the same bus recently.
Aren't you going to the same direction as me?
Ah, you see...
That time,
on that day...
I was going to the North Library.
That's the only place with "Mystery Magazine".
Is that so?
I also read there every month.
I was asked a question by Ichigyo. It's about the bus. We go home separate ways? What's her purpose? Is it doubt? Find a way to cover it up. Maybe something about a book in the library?
Isn't that...?
Teacher.
Teacher!
Take a look at this!
Amazing, isn't it?
It's iron!
The density is good enough.
And there are few impurities too.
I was secretly practicing at night.
Isn't it amazing that I made metal?
It's a mirage.
Try to deal with it without being scared.
I can't do it that sudden!
You can't?
Are you gonna say the same thing when the time comes?
No matter how much you adjust, its effects will definitely come out.
Whatever happens to you, you must be able to protect her.
You must be able to do anything.
Good Design allows you to wield that much power.
The rest is up to you.
What's important is imagination.
Realize making iron in an instant.
Let your imagination fly as if it's inside a story.
Believe that anything is possible.
Go and rule all things!
So cold!
Warm water!
So hot!
How about this?
It's copper.
The road ahead is long.
I'm sorry.
Oh, it's time.
I have to go now.
Hey, wait up!
It's today.
I can't go to high places.
Everybody's got something they're weak against.
I'll do the sorting of the upper shelves from now on.
Then I'll do the lower ones.
The big volumes are heavy.
I'll do it.
Then I'll do the middle ones.
Let's go with that.
I shall drink now.
Dividing the shelves into three was really inefficient.
But thanks to that, I got to communicate with her more.
That's one of the turning points.
Ouch!
Stop it!
Why are you grinning?
I wasn't grinning.
Good for you.
It's thanks to your notebook.
What should I do next?
Just keep things up and everything will go smoothly.
As long as we have future info,
you and Ruri becoming a couple is a lock.
June 25 Old Books Sale for Charity
Our biggest task is this old books sale.
Anybody with an idea about this?
I guess I expected this much.
From today onwards, we'll gather old books and sell them on the day itself.
There's gonna be seller duties, right?
The promo girl usually wears cute clothes.
Promo girl?
Kadenokouji will do promotion in cosplay?
Wanna do it too, Ruriri?
I won't do it.
And also, stop saying my name like that.
Then, Roorii!
No.
Ruririnu!
No. You're stubborn.
The old book sale in June is gonna be an important event for us.
Do your best to gather books.
Understood.
Gold!
So slow!
But, gathering them is...
We'll also place a drop box in the classroom.
Thank you for your cooperation.
The chairman did say we don't expect to gather a lot.
Nope. We decided to gather them, so we can't just wing it.
Let's do this.
3 Days left until the book sale! Currently have 37 books!
Well, it doesn't have to be given to us.
If you have some at home, you can bring them over.
I'll leave it to you.
Shall we do that?
Over here.
These are all my grandfather's books.
Though I think there's anything of value here...
Amazing.
Let's bring these books over.
It's not good bringing these by myself,
so since we've steeled ourselves to do it, we have to do everthing we can.
Are you sure? It's your grandpa's...
Are these not precious books to you?
Of course, I feel sad giving these away,
but my grandfather isn't the type to get angry with that sort of thing.
To be read is a book's wish.
Then, how are we gonna carry these?
Let's bring them!
Sending them via courier is gonna cost us.
What kind of books do you like, Katagaki?
Let's see...
Oh crap, an unexpected question.
I generally read anything.
I'm more of a wide but shallow reader.
I see.
As for me, I'm into adventure novels.
Braving any danger without giving up
and doing one's best until the end is something that I adore.
I want to live like that.
I want to be like that.
I...
As for me...
I like sci-fi.
Sci-fi shows beautiful new worlds.
But they're not fantasy worlds,
but an extension of the normal world
and I feel like I'm part of that story.
Though I'm just an extra in real life.
That's why I can't properly explain it,
but I like sci-fi.
I see.
That feeling...
is something I can understand.
I want to read this for a bit.
How about you take it?
Then I'll buy it on the sale.
This is a borrower's card.
I think this was disposed from a library.
Isn't it nice?
Being first to read the book and write your name here.
I think it's a great feeling.
Ruurii, what's with those?
Shall we bring them to the library?
- We have to ask teacher's permission...
- Sorry, Ruurii.
We made you carry a lot of books.
Stop it. They're all not in use anyway.
But thanks, Ruurii!
Like I told you...
They said there was an ember.
See, over there.
Good thing it didn't spread to the school yard.
If you knew, we could've stopped it.
If I do that, the records will change.
The fire was an essential step.
The old books sale got cancelled.
I desperately talked to her to calm her down.
Thanks to that, we got closer.
You do that too.
What an idiot.
This isn't good.
But... But...
This is...
Teacher!
Thank you so much!
Uhmm, Ichigyo.
Good morning.
One box was in a different place.
It has around fifty books.
So with that, we can still proceed with the book sale.
This is...
Ichigyo,
isn't it great that the books are saved?
Katagaki.
Ruurii, Katagaki!
Don't tell me...
That box...
So it wasn't just us!
Today from 3:00 PM onwards Old books sale for charity You might meet your destined book! Place: Library 2nd Floor
Why are your eyes so big, old lady?
They're for reading old books!
Can we take a picture?
Of course!
Why is Ruurii sitting over there?
Wait, wait!
Huh?
The book sale!
I didn't wake you up.
You seem very tired.
What?
Nothing.
I decided to sell lots of books, so...
I did this.
TL Note: She's doing an Alice in Wonderland cosplay.
So, uhmm...
Total Sales: 34850 yen Sold out!!
Yes!
Katagaki.
Thank you very much.
Well, uhmm, I didn't do...
Thank you very much.
Uhmm, I...
Ichigyo,
I love you.
Is that so?
A relationship is not something that can be achieved with just one person.
So, shall the two of us do it?
T-that book... You wanted to read that,
so I reserved it for you.
It's almost time.
Release your imagination.
Make it run wild!
Okay!
You can do better.
You can do anything.
If you accept it, you can do anything!
Think that the world is yours.
Become the god
of this world!
You got passing marks.
July 3 (Sat) It's the Ujigawa Fireworks Festival. It's a fireworks festival that happens before the summer break. She was wearing a yukata and the usual book. I messed up at the station due to the number of people, so I had a very hard time on our way to the festival.
That day, we went to the fireworks festival.
The lightning struck at around 8:01 PM.
I did not invite her,
there's no rain clouds tonight,
so have we prevented it now?
If nothing else happens, that is.
If there is, what would it be?
What's that?
It came!
It's the homeostatic system!
It detected a change in Alltale's system file,
and will correct things to fix it.
W-what should I do?
Design something.
Bring a weapon out.
It can interact.
Alright.
Let's protect her until the time of the accident has passed!
Hold your ground until then.
After that,
I'll be teaching you the ropes.
Go!
Okay!
Behind you!
On your right!
Thirty degrees to your left!
In the middle!
Wait!
This is bad!
Hurry!
This is...
The system authority has gone overboard!
Naomi, that's where the lightning will strike!
Ichigyo.
Uhmm,
it hurts!
My foot...
Dammit!
Two more minutes!
Naomi!
Teacher.
This is the last.
With this, it's over!
Don't worry about the effects.
Go all out!
Okay!
One more minute!
Don't stop. Keep creating!
Ten seconds!
You can do it.
Creation of a black hole
I did it.
Alright.
Katagaki?
Ichigyo!
You're safe!
I did it! I did it!
Thank goodness!
Thank goodness. Hooray!
I'm sorry.
Wait! What's this?
Katagaki.
Katagaki!
The soul and the vessel must be of the same state.
I had to do away with the gaps
between the physical and quantum minds.
I needed the mind to be of the closest state as the time of the accident.
Teacher?
The measurement has finally reached the threshold.
They can now be synchronized.
What are you saying?
Uhmm...
Let Ichigyo out!
She fell in love.
She had feelings of love for you.
And now, her mind is finally
almost of the same state as that during the accident.
Now all preparations are complete.
Despite being struck by lightning, she did not die.
She's brain-dead.
Ichigyo!
Noooooo!
Thank you.
Goodbye, Naomi.
I missed you.
Katagaki...?
Is there anything I can use to fly?
Come out.
Come out!
A plane.
A car.
Even just a bicycle will do!
How about an elevator?
Stairs?
Anything!
Even just water would do, so come out!
Just come out already!
There are after effects at the moment.
But to regain consciousness from that state...
it sure is a miracle.
Using the quantum data from Alltale,
it's possible to fix damage brains.
However, copying of data is impossible.
She doesn't exist there anymore.
Maybe she's in their house.
What is this?
There is a large amount of missing data in this area, so until it is restored, this area cannot be used. ALLTALE SYSTEM
Open up!
Bring out Ichigyo!
Ichigyo!
... Is proceeding. Corrupted area is spreading.
Let's increase the homeostatic modules.
We're already at deployment limit.
- Senko. Shuu.
- Any further, and--
Naomi!
A part of the records is damaged.
We can't determine the cause.
Any idea?
I don't know yet,
but the current situation is our utmost priority.
Starting from the damaged part, changes in the other records are spreading.
At this rate, the butterfly effect will reach the threshold.
If this damage to Alltale will continue,
a chain collapse, it is.
What should we do?
Recovery, it is.
Recovery?
I feel dizzy...
我晕
Gather and take out all corrupted data.
The restoration comes later.
Good work.
Can you do it now?
Yes.
I'll just change clothes.
Why?
How did it come to this?
Time to say goodbye to that thing that has hurt me so many times.
The feasibility of complementing neural repair with quantum data
Field of awareness

Recovery preparations complete.
There's no helping it.
Recovery.
That is to delete a part of Alltale's data, and restart it.
Let's free up that area.
You can start now.
The town,
the world...
it's dissipating?
Am I...
You are the Naomi Katagaki recorded by Alltale.
I am..
from the memory world, from Alltale's data.
I'm... gonna die.
Ichigyo!
Maybe she's somewhere else?
It's no good! There's no assurance that I can save her!
Just do according to what this says.
The strongest manual, where the future is written.
The old books sale was a success! I'm glad Ichigyo was able to smile!
Were you okay? Glad we sold out!
Good job!
Thanks, Katagaki!
Good job! Let's do more in the future! (LOL)
Thanks to you, I did my best!
Help with promotion next time!
It's thanks to you and Ruurii!
Let's have an afterparty!
Your death was not in vain, dear friend
Am I dead?
Naomi Katagaki.
Did you just speak?
I speak.
And so, I shall answer your questions.
You have not died.
I am your ally.
Ally?
Naomi Katagaki.
You can get back Ruri Ichigyo.
Okay.
好
The rest are automatic.
Estimated completion time is eighty hours from now.
And restoration is a thousand times that.
Maybe the cause is around the homeostatic system.
It controls Alltale's huge amount of info,
so it has a heavy load.
Like the walls of a dam.
I guess we gotta do some maintainance before plugging the data back in.
Hey, Naomi.
Wait, what?
Katagaki is at the hospital.
Oh, it's his girlfriend.
Good to hear.
太好了
I heard she regained consciousness.
That truly is a good thing.
Yeah, you're right.
Bring back Ichigyo?
The world is distorted.
To correct the distortion, the homeostatic system
will attempt to delete Ruri Ichigyo.
You say all that, but I have no power.
No. You have power.
The power you have practiced and gained knowledge of.
What are you?
I am a mere crow that has seen you work hard for the past three months.
Naomi Katagaki.
Do you want her?
Yes!
Ten years?
You were in a coma after getting struck by lightning.
They say it's a miracle that you woke up.
In this ten years, I also got into an accident.
A lot has happened to me,
but I'm glad I did not give up.
I got to meet you again.
Do you remember?
That day, the time of the fireworks festival.
Here.
I always had it with me.
That book...
That book?
No.
You're not Katagaki.
What the hell?
Don't tell me...
that even this is the memory world?
Stop!
The system's purpose is to dispose of any foreign object.
Stop!
You let go of her right now!
Noooo!
This is...
Katagaki?
Ichigyo.
You're... Naomi?
Impossible.
This can't be!
Katagaki.
These masked things are after you, Ichigyo.
Me?
But it's okay now.
I'll do something about them.
Can you get off?
Let's go back.
To where we belong.
Naomi, this is bad.
We have no idea what's going on.
How's the internal area?
The quantum record bit is looping.
Stored data keeps repeating itself.
Crap!
靠!
The logical boundary is breaking down!
Hear that?
Naomi, just come back for now.
You're slow.
They'll catch up.
Then...
Amazing.
How far should I go?
Proceed in a straight line.
The distance is 1.9 kilometers.
Over there...
it exists.
The most appropriate coordinates to transfer back Ruri Ichigyo to Alltale.
The highest floor of the Kyoto Station building.
Shall I bring out a vehicle?
A car? A motorbike?
I can't drive.
A bike.
That I can do!
With this...
Alltale's area of effect is spreading.
They can come out anywhere if it's within the affected area.
Ichigyo, close your eyes.
Don't you ever let go.
We won't make it!
You can!
Hop on.
Hurry up!
Step on it!
Why?
I'll bring her back to her original world.
I'm responsible for all of this happening.
I just...
I just wanted to see her smile again.
To make amends.
Your orders, Naomi.
To the highest floor of the Kyoto Station building!
It really is the homeostatic system.
It's running amok as it tries to stop the increase of information.
Emergency.
It won't receive it.
We can only stop it directly.
Stop it directly...
Higher.
Naomi, make an uphill road!
Okay!
Hey, idiot!
Make it better!
Ichigyo, it's gonna be fine, so let go.
We're here.
I'll now prepare.
Your hand.
Converter.
Create up to the bottom part.
Once you down the whole flight, the quantum conversion will be completed.
The system is approaching this place.
We have to hurry.
First is Ruri Ichigyo's conversion.
Can you go down?
How are your legs?
I can manage.
However,
Ichigyo.
It's okay.
Let's do it.
Just continue after me.
Okay.
Come on now.
Why are you doing this?
Are you Katagaki?
No. he's Naomi Katagaki
and I'm just an extra.
I wonder about that.
You love me, don't you?
Thank you very much.
Goodbye.
Ichigyo.
I...
loved you.
It's done.
Kataga--
Katagaki?
Hurry up, Naomi.
You're next.
Okay!
That is bad news!
No way...
Naomi!
Defeat it, Naomi!
But how?
Make something big.
An axle, and a jetpack!
Slam it down!
Can you restore the stairs?
There are lots of broken parts.
It will take a certain amount of time.
You're kidding me...
Professor, are you sure about this?
If you stop the homeostatic system,
The info inside Alltale will infinitely increase...
That, in Japanese,
is what we call Genesis.
Genesis?
The birth of a new world. The Big Bang.
Teacher, stay away!
With this thing...
That is dangerous.
The target size is too big.
The damage will just spread further.
No way!
Then, what should I...?
Naomi.
Teacher...
There's a way to defeat that.
R-really?
Tell me. What should I do?
Using Good Design, make me disappear.
What are you...?
You need no explanation, don't you?
But, that's just...
We have no other way.
But...
But there's no guarantee that it will disappear!
It was trying to delete her.
Not to bring her back, but to delete her.
That is to resolve the overlap of addresses.
The mind from Alltale and the body from this world.
The fox masks determined they are separate
so they tried to take care of the overlap.
That means, it's either me or you.
If any of us disappear from this world, that will stop.
It's gonna be a disaster with you gone.
So the answer is clear.
No!
I don't want that!
It's okay, I can still go on.
I'll defeat this right now...
Naomi!
and make that conversion device again...
No,
no,
Hello my dear
destiny is unfair, and that's the way it is
unmei wa fujoritte sono toori de
no...
Teacher, you said
that I should believe in myself.
Hello my dear
Then I can do anything.
So I'll do it!
no matter how I struggle, the world smiles down on me
tatoe dou agaitemo sekai wa warau darou
The two of us will live!
That's right.
If you believe in it, you can do anything.
Teacher...
Naomi Katagaki,
be happy.
Just a little more time stay along
I don't wanna go home alone alone alone
mada kaerenai yo alone alone alone
She was the first person I chose.
I lost my future the day Ichigyo collapsed.
I decided to bring her back no matter what
Hey, I can't do anything anymore, I’m tired
nee mou kore ijou nani mo dekinai I'm tired
to take back our future.
to the ends of the world, let's go…
kono sekai no hate made let go...
Our...
If there is nothing further than this,
nee mou kore ijou nani mo nai nara
let's once again, at the ends of the world...
sono sekai no hate made mata...
I am... happy.
Ichigyo!
Katagaki.
Katagaki...
Thank you.
I wonder where it went?
Maybe in another universe?
Don't know where though.
I hope it's somewhere that's easier to live in.
Katagaki.
Did we get back to our world?
For sure, this is...
a new world no one knows.
We did it!
It's successful! He's finally awake!
Thank goodness!
The soul and the vessel must be of the same state.
You acted for the sake of your loved one.
So now your mind is in synch with your body.
You did it, Katagaki!
Ichigyo...
the air is thinner than usual, and you make faces
