Takatoshi Hijiyama:
I can't believe I overslept. It’s so late…
The two of them must be long gone by now… probably.
Well, no choice…
I’ll wait here and confront them when they return.
ケ02
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
Hm?
Ogata!
ケ03
×Nenji Ogata
Nenji Ogata:
Hey, Hijiyama…
You remember all that shit you've put me through?
‘Cause I sure as hell do.
ケ04
×Nenji Ogata
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
Now that I think about it…
I don’t know how you escaped, but…
I see how it is.
You came looking for another black eye.
Nenji Ogata:
Try it. See what happens.
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.
ケ05
×Nenji Ogata
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?
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!?
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
Must be that girl from this afternoon…
ケ06
×Nenji Ogata
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.
ケ07
×Nenji Ogata
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:

Takatoshi Hijiyama:

ケ08
×Nenji Ogata
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
…Did you have to take the same hiding spot?
It’s too hot over here now. move over there.
Nenji Ogata:
Shut it.
If itls so damn stuffy, then you take a hike.
ケ09
×Nenji Ogata
Nenji Ogata:
Ah, dammit… Sick of all these mosquitoes.
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
Maybe they didn’t even go today…
Nenji Ogata:
Well, Kurabe already went home.
But I ain’t leavin’ until I know what’s goin’ on here.
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
Same here…
The way things are… I feel like I don’t know anything anymore.
ケ10
×Nenji Ogata
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
So this girl. Kisaragi.
What kind of relationship do you two have?
Nenji Ogata:
…
She's… y’know, a friend.
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
A friend, huh…
Okino hasn’t been wearing the dress lately…
Did he drop it for the sake of getting close to her…?
…Maybe you weren’t the person I thought you were, Tsukasa Okino.
ケ11
×Nenji Ogata
Nenji Ogata:
Shh… They're comin’.
Tomi Kisaragi:
Seriously, I'm not lying.
I know I saw that image pop up…
Tsukasa Okino:
I know.
The access log confirm you got in.
The question is… why didn’t we get a response…?
ケ12
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
Okino!
Nenji Ogata:
Hey, idiot, don’t just jump out!
Tomi Kisaragi:
Ogata?
What the heck are you doing here?
Nenji Ogata:
Ah, shut up.
Tomi Kisaragi:
Huh?
Don’t tell me…
Are you a wittle…jealous?
That’s totally it, right?
Nenji Ogata:
Please.
Who’d get jealous over you?
ケ13
×Tsukasa Okino
Tsukasa Okino:
Is THAT what this is about?
You got jealous?
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
Don’t be ridiculous…
I was just…
ケ14
Nenji Ogata:
I was just…
…worried about you. That’s all.
Tomi Kisaragi:
…
Nenji Ogata:
You went to that underground place, right?
Tomi Kisaragi:
W-Well, the androids were all broken anyway…
Nenji Ogata:
I mean, heck, if… somethin’ had happened to you…
Tomi Kisaragi:
…Moron.
ケ15
×Tsukasa Okino
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
…
I want to know how to save everyone.
If there’s a way, then tell me… please.
Tsukasa Okino:
I understand.
I'm doing my best to find the right answer here.
I don’t know if it’ll be enough to save everyone, but…
It could make a difference, at least.
I’ll tell you all I know.
Tsukasa Okino:
It’s getting late.
You should all go home.
Nenji Ogata:
Huh? C’mon, Okino, you kiddin’ me…?
Tomi Kisaragi:
Oh, come on…
I’ll explain everything on the way back.
So walk me home? Pleeeaaase?
Nenji Ogata:
Dammit…
You got off easy this time, Okino.
ケ16
×Tsukasa Okino
Tsukasa Okino:
Now. We’d better get going.
Takatoshi Hijiyama:
To where…?
Tsukasa Okino:
The tower of knowledge.
That’s where it all starts.
