No. 163 Memories with Kiriko 桐子さんとの思い出

Sakura High School | Wooden Building

初出クラウドシンク

So the Sentinel’s a weapon from the future…?

It’s strange to say, but… it does make sense.

After all, even one of its “computers” was so far beyond what we knew.

既出クラウドシンク

Noodels sti-fried…

イ01 自動発生

This building had just been finished when I knew it…

…Now, well… it’s certainly seen better days.

イ02 思い出す

Reminisce

It feels like just yesterday…

I walked these very halls to pick up Keitaro.

And now, four decades have passed in the blink of an eye. Like a fairy tale…

And this young lady would be?

Oh, that’s Kiriko-chan. She came to us from Tokyo.

I'm Kiriko Douji.

Why, Miss. You're… you're stunning.

My name is Takatoshi Hijiyama.

I'm going to remember this day forever.

Because… it was the day you came into my life.

You're a funny guy…

But you seem pretty incredible yourself, Takatoshi-san.

O-Oh, no, I don’t know about that…

So what’s got you all bashful and smiley in here?

Kiriko-san!

I mean, Okino…

You really are a funny guy…

…

イ03 沖野と会話

You could’ve just taken a nap at my place…

I didn’t think you'd come running after me.

I'm not about to let you get away from me.

I show you my hideout. Why bother trying to run now?

Still don’t trust me, huh?

イ04 イ03後に沖野と会話

I want to know everything about what you're trying to accomplish.

I see…

Well, fair enough.

The question is… are you even going to believe me?

I've already learned for myself that time travel is real.

At this point, nothing surprises me anymore.

No more secrets. What are you trying to do?

イ05 イ04後に沖野と会話

I'm trying to stop the apocalypse.

A force is already on its way here to destroy the world.

And they’ve got mote numbers on their side than we’ll ever have.

What are they?

I'm not really concerned with that they are.

What I want to know is… why are they coming?

イ06 イ05後に沖野と会話

The answer is in something called the D-Code.

Let me try and break this down for you…

There are other humans with modifications, like you and Miura-kun.

And they're beaming out these signals calling the destroyers here.

Even though they have no idea.

イ07 イ06後に沖野と会話

How do I even respond to that…?

See? I knew you wouldn’t believe me.

Th-That’s not what I said.

I just don’t know how to imagine the scale of this. An apocalypse…?

イ08 △機兵→沖野

This other threat you said the Sentinels were meant to fight…

Are you saying it’s them? These destroyers?

They're a huge threat, all right.

And these people with modifications, like me―they're calling them here?

But weren’t those implants only added so we could pilot the Sentinels in the first place?

Well, I made the Sentinels, sure.

But I'm not the one who modified all of you.

There’s too many unknowns with the innerlocitor.

That’s what I'm looking into.

イ09 イ07後に沖野と会話

So there are other Sentinel pilots beyond Keitaro and I…

A whole lot of them.

イ10 インナアロシタ→沖野

△Inner―lossiter→Tsukasa Okino

So this inner-lossiter…?

It’s like a little network of tiny machines.

It has to be implanted into your body.

イ11 イ10後に沖野と会話

So what do you want me to do now…?

Everybody’s supposed to be in class right now.

You'll stick out if you're on school grounds.

We can't have you wandering around where staff can see you.

It’d definitely be a liability for me, at least…

There’ll be more of a crowd when lunch period rolls around.

Until then, you should hang out here.
