△Q-ta Shiba
Juro Kurabe:
Shiba-kun’s not actually human.
And not only that…
He's been manipulating my memories.
It seems his goal is to turn me back into Juro Izumi.
△Visitor from Another World
Juro Kurabe:
Fuyusaka-san and I were the only ones who made it…
We escaped to Sumire Bridge, 16 years into the past.
These must be Shiba-kun’s memories…
Or rather… the other Juro Izumi’s

Kyuta Shiba:
Hey, Juro.
Let's go home.

×Kyuta Shiba
Juro Kurabe:
…
Kyuta Shiba:
What?
Why the long face?
Have another nightmare or somethin’?
Juro Kurabe:
Knock it off.
I'm not stupid.
I know I'm the only one who can see you.
ア03
×Kyuta Shiba
Juro Kurabe:
…
Kyuta Shiba:
Hmm…
So it wasn’t fully wiped.
ア04
×Kyuta Shiba
Kyuta Shiba:
Damn…
I guess mind-hacking has its limits.

×Miwako Sawatari
Juro Kurabe:
Sawatari-san…
Do you have a minute?
ア07
×Miwako Sawatari
Juro Kurabe:
It’s about Kisaragi-san.
Miwako Sawatari:
Usami-chan?
Juro Kurabe:
Where dose she always go?
Miwako Sawatari:
Why do you ask?
Juro Kurabe:
Ogata-kun was looking for her.
Miwako Sawatari:
Really!?
Maybe Nenji-kun… likes her…
Juro Kurabe:
So do you know?
Miwako Sawatari:
She goes to Tokisaka Shrine.
I think she's waiting for someone there.
Juro Kurabe:
Tokisaka Shrine…
Is that the one that’s supposedly haunted?
…
I've… been there before.
Something happened there…
Ugh, I can't remember.
Miwako Sawatari:
Oh, wait!
ア08
×Miwako Sawatari
Miwako Sawatari:
Please don’t tell Nenji-kun…
The person she's meeting is a boy, so…
Oh, no…

△Q-ta Shiba→Kyuta Shiba
Juro Kurabe:
What exactly are you?
Kyuta Shiba:
48Q. QTA_CBA.
I already told you. I'm an artificial personality.
Juro Kurabe:
That doesn’t mean anything to me.
Kyuta Shiba:
…
Then why don’t you watch this video and relax?
Juro Kurabe:
I'm not watching it.

△Juro Izumi→Kyuta Shiba
Juro Kurabe:
Tell me the truth.
This isn't about my lost memories, is it?
You're not trying to restore them.
You're giving me someone else’s.
Kyuta Shiba:
What are you talking about? They're Juro’s memories.
Juro Kurabe:
In other words… yours?
The other Juro Izumi…
Kyuta Shiba:
…
Y’know, this one’s three times older than you.
ア11
Kyuta Shiba:
Y’know…
We can't have you causing a scene here.
Your memory needs to be wiped clean.
Lemme try one more time…
キオクシュウセイ
Kyuta Shiba:
You can't run from me.
Juro Kurabe:
Leave me alone…!
△Tokisaka Shrine
Juro Kurabe:
They say the shrine by our school is haunted by ghosts.
Kisaragi-san’s told me a bit about it.
She seems interested in the shrine for some reason.

Juro Kurabe:
Whoa!
Nenji Ogata:
Hey, watch it.
イ02
×Nenji Ogata
Nenji Ogata:
She's not here.
Juro Kurabe:
Are you looking for someone, Ogata-kun?
Nenji Ogata:
Yo, Kurabe.
Sure am. Tomi Kisaragi.
Got a clue where she went?
イ05
△Tokisaka Shrine→Nenji Ogata
Juro Kurabe:
Hey, I think I do have an idea.
I heard she went to Tokisaka Shrine.
Nenji Ogata:
Huh? For real?
The heck is she thinkin’…
Juro Kurabe:
Wait! I’ll come with you.
There's something I want to check.
Nenji Ogata:
Be my guest.

Juro Kurabe:
This street…
I've been here before.
I think I saw something.
The memories are starting to come back…
But I can't remember any specifics.

Takatoshi Hijiyama:
Hm?
Ogata!
You…
Nenji Ogata:
Hey, Hijiyama…
You remember all that shit you've put me through?
‘Cause I sure as hell do.
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
I see how it is.
You came looking for another black eye.
Nenji Ogata:
Try it. See what happens.
ア03
×Nenji Ogata
Juro Kurabe:
Ogata-kun…
Aren't we here to look for Kisaragi-san?
Nenji Ogata:
Meh…
Yeah, okay, fine.
Don’t have time for this.
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
What…?
Nenji Ogata:
Sorry to disappoint. We’ll dance some other time.
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
And that’s your decision to make, huh? Selfish bastard.
Nenji Ogata:
The hell are you doing here, anyways?
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
I'm looking for Okino.
Nenji Ogata:
What happened to him?
ア04
×Nenji Ogata
Juro Kurabe:
This is just what I heard from Sawatari-san…
But according to her…
Kisaragi-san’s been going out to meet some guy lately.
Nenji Ogata:
She WHAT!?
Just the two of ‘em!?
ア05 ここはオリジナル
×Takatoshi Hijiyama
Juro Kurabe:
So this “Okino” you're looking for… Is that Tsukasa Okino?
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
What, you know him?
Juro Kurabe:
Not exactly…
That’s just the name I heard in my dream.
But it’s probably the same person…
ア06
Nenji Ogata:
So that’s who Kisaragi ran off with.
Got a feelin’ I know where they went, too.
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
What? How?
Nenji Ogata:
Eh… She mentioned somethin’ about it.
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
By the way…
Do you know how to work this time travel business?
Nenji Ogata:
Uh…
Oh. You don’t know either?
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
…
Nenji Ogata:
…
ア07
Juro Kurabe:
Ah… It was right here.
Something happened.
But what was it…?
Oh yeah!
I carried something over to the dumpster.

×Dumpster
Juro Kurabe:
…
Agh!
Nenji Ogata:
What’s up?
ア09
×Nenji Ogata
Juro Kurabe:
There's… a corpse in there…
Nenji Ogata:
The hell? No way.
Cut the cra―
Whoa! Isn't that…
Hey. Give me a hand.
Nenji Ogata:
Sure looks like a corpse…
But this thing’s a robot.
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
It’s… Tamao-san…
Why? Why does it look like her?
Juro Kurabe:
Tamao?
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
…Tamao Kurabe.
Nenji Ogata:
Wait, what?
Juro Kurabe:
My grandma?
