No. 038 The True Identity of Kiriko Doji 堂路桐子の正体
Sundown | 1944 | Kasumi | Tokisaka Shrine
初出クラウドシンク
△Kiriko Douji※1
Professor Douji led the Sentinel Project for our efforts in the war.
His daughter, Kiriko-san, came along with him, but…
…What does it mean if this isn’t her?
忘れ
△Sentinel※2
Is she serious?
She says she built the Sentinel herself, but…
忘れ
△To Another Time※3
He’s just playing games with me.
“Time travel”? Really?
This is reality, not some penny dreadful…
△Tsukasa Okino※4
This can’t be true, can it?
Was the Kiriko Douji I knew… really a man?
This “Tsukasa Okino”?
ア01
Kiriko Douji:
Looks like they’re starting to panic down there.
The sooner I’m out of here, the better.
…That’s weird.
Someone changed the shifter’s access key, huh?
Not that it matters.
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
Kiriko-san!
Kiriko Douji:
So you came after me, Hijiyama-kun.
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
This has to be some misunderstanding.
You can’t be a spy, can you?
Kiriko Douji:
Sounds like the professor, all right.
ウ02
×Kiriko Douji
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
Why did you run off?
The military’s looking for you.
They think you stole some kind of intel…
But you’re the professor’s daughter!
You can’t be a spy— it doesn’t make sense!
Kiriko Douji:
Sorry to break it to you. I’m not his daughter.
The real Kiriko Douji’s still over in Tokyo.
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
What!?
Kiriko Douji:
But the whole “spy” thing’s kind a stretch.
I don’t need to steal any secrets on the Sentinels.
I’m the one who built them, after all.
ア03
×Kiriko Douji
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
What are you talking about…?
…What happened to you?
Kiriko Douji:
That’s about what I figured you’d say.
ア04
△Kiriko Douji→Kiriko Douji
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
If you’re not the real Kiriko, then…
Then who are you?
Kiriko Douji:
You wouldn’t believe me if I told you.
Or maybe…
This really isn’t about who I am.
Maybe it’s just about what you feel towards me.
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
I-I, uh…
ア05
△Sentinel→Kiriko Douji
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
I’m not sure I believe this…
You built them?
Kiriko Douji:
Yeah, that was me.
I drew up the designs in an editor.
Then I just had to send the order into an automated factory.
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
But that…
No, you’re probably just confused, that’s all.
Kiriko Douji:
I even implanted the linking component into your head.
Though you wouldn’t remember, of course. Anesthesia, and all.
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
When you came to the factory…
You said you were there on behalf of the professor…
Kiriko Douji:
It was a good a cover story as any.
ア06
×Kiriko Douji
Kiriko Douji:
You’re kind of a simple guy.
There's something about you, though…
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
What are you even saying…?
Kiriko Douji:
I’m saying… I’m gonna miss you.
But my key just finished decrypting.
So that’s it.
This is goodbye.
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
Ngh—
Kiriko-san?
She vanised?
That’s impossible…
ア07
Examine
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
It was barely a moment…
She can’t have had time to run into the mountains.
Where did Kiriko-san go…?
ア08
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
Oh—someone’s coming…
He’s the one who snuck into the facroty!
There’s something fishy about him…
But…
If he’s working with her… then…
He might know where she’s gone.
I’ll hide behind a tree and see what he’s up to…
ア09
×Hide Behind Tree
Ei Sekigahara:
Tokisaka Shrine, huh?
If this log is right, Okino just crossed over…
Might still catch up if I’m fast.
Coordinates read Sector 4, in the year 1984…

ア11
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
Give it up. There’s nowhere to run!
ア12
×Suspicious Man
Ei Sekigahara:
Hijiyama…
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
So you’re the spy…
But there’s no escaping me now.
Ei Sekigahara:
…
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
What are you doing here?
Ei Sekigahara:
If I told you, you’d laugh in my face.
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
Answer me, or I’ll do more than laugh at you!
Ei Sekigahara:
…I’m going to time travel to another era.
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
Is that a joke, or are you just insane?
ア13
×Suspicious Man
Ei Sekigahara
There's no point explaining myself to you.
ア14
△Kiriko Douji→Ei Sekigahara
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
You know Kiriko Douji?
Ei Sekigahara:
Yeah.
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
I knew it…
Ei Sekigahara:
Though that wasn’t actually her, of course.
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
Is that really true?
She said something along those lines, too…
Ei Sekigahara:
…”She”, huh?
Must’ve been pretty convincing, then.
His real name is Tsukasa Okino.
He wears that stuff for his own reasons.
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
Wh—Don’t joke about that!
You’re just trying to confuse me…
ア15
△To Another Time→Ei Sekigahara
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
You’re going to time travel, huh?
Try a better story next time.
Ei Sekigahara:
This “Kiriko-Douji” of yours?
He did it himself just moments ago.
Escape from here into the future.
ア16
×Suspiciou Man
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
I’m not falling for your lies.
Ei Sekigahara:
I don’t have time for this.
Step back. I’m going after him.
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
Well…
So you do know where she went.
Where? Show me.
Ei Sekigahara:
You don’t want to get caught in this shift.
Keep your distance.
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
Right, your “time travel.”
I'd like to see you try it.
Ei Sekigahara:
Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
