01x12 - Could You At Least Put Some Undies On?

[bunniefuu]

Aoi...

I'm sorry, Asahi.

I'm glad you're okay.

Where's Ai?

She's right here.

Please let me see her.

I understand.

This is...

I knew you'd be here!

This is Ai's memory.

You really love it here, don't you, Asahi?

What were you doing?

Thinking about how
middle school will be over soon.

Why get so sentimental all of a sudden?

I mean, everyone will go their own ways.

Don't you feel lonely?

Of course I do.

But I have you with me.

I'm fine feeling a little lonely.

But before that,
you have entrance exams.

Man, student with recommendations
have it so nice.

And? Didn't you come here for something?

Yeah. I want you to go
shopping with me for a little bit.

Huh? But I have to go home
and study for the exams.

Come on, hurry up!

You buying it?

I shouldn't. I've spent too much
of my pocket money.

Sorry, I gotta go to the toilet.

Geez.

This is...

You can open it.

This...

You wanted it, right?

It's a little early,
but it's your Christmas present.

Isn't it way too early?

It's better than being late.

I'm so happy.

Thank you, Asahi.

Hey, put it on me.

Please!

O-Okay.

Done.

Does it look good on me?

Yeah. Really cute.

Ack! N-Nothing!

Geez.

A-Are you okay?

I'm fine, I just stood up too fast.

C-Come on. Let's get going.

What's up with me?

Welcome home.

You're home late again.

My research is at its busiest.

Were you asleep?

No, just a quick shut-eye.

Give me a minute. I'll get dinner ready.

I'm good.
Get some rest if you're tired.

It's fine, it's just dinner.

Ai, what's wrong?

I-I'm fine.

H-Huh?

- Ai.
- I'm getting...

Ai!

Ai!

It's not looking good.

I'm truly sorry, but there's nothing we can do.

She's only 15 years old!

- For her to have such a...
- Dad!

Dad, calm down.

How long will she...

It might be hard to make it to spring.

What should I do?

Let's go, Dad.

Well, the doctor might have said that, but

I'll do my best through it, okay?

Hey, now! Don't run inside a hospital!

I'm sorry!

Ai!

Are you okay?

Geez.

These are island-grown.

These are lady finger bananas.

And then, these are...

Come on, now, I can't eat that much.

What are you saying?
You have to eat lots and get healthier!

You're okay, right?

Like I said, it's just piled-up fatigue.

See, I'm fine!

Thank goodness.

You really worry too much.

But thank you for coming to visit.

Makes me happy.

Y-Yeah.

Hey, Asahi.

Once it's spring and
the cherry blossoms bloom,

when it happens,
can we go see it together?

Huh? We always see it together.

Yeah. But...

Okay, I get it.

Then it's a promise.

Yeah. Promise.

Here.

It's a bit early,
but have some chocolates.

Isn't it way too early?

It's better than being late.

Don't copy me!

But, still, thank you.

It'd be nice if we can
go to high school together.

Of course we will!

I'll work my butt off.

Yeah.

Oh, it's snowing.

Should we go back to your room?

No, let's stay a little longer.

It's so warm.

It'd be nice if spring comes soon.

Hello.

Ah, Ai?

Classes just finished.
I'm heading there now.

Yeah, alright.

Be careful.

Yeah.

It's this late already.

And then, he completely misunderstood!

Yeah.

Like, it's weird, right?

Yeah.

Should we go outside?

No, I'm good for today.

I see.

You know, Asahi...

Nah, never mind.

Well, then, I'll come again.

Asahi,

you don't have to come here anymore.

It's almost time for your exams, right?

O-Okay.

I don't want to bother you.

B-But...

I'll be just fine over here.

Okay?

Alright.

I'll do my best.

See you.

Yeah.

I'm scared.

Asahi, I'm...

Wow, amazing!

Alright, Asahi, look over here!

What, you're taking a photo?

It's a video.

Come here, you!

I guess I do miss you.

I miss you,

(I miss you, Asahi)
Asahi.

(Let's go see the cherry blossoms together)

(Sent)

Sorry. I'm sorry.

Asahi.

Ai...

Ai is just beyond that door.

I'm sorry.

You got dragged into this.

It's our fault.

Aoi...

All of this...

In the first place, it was between me and Ai.

And thanks to you guys,
I realized something I must do.

I'm actually quite grateful.

Asahi...

Asahi!

You...

You changed my world.

After meeting you, I learned about
the heart-wrenching pain of falling in love.

And beyond that, I was able to
experience so much joy and happiness.

That's why, I thank you.

I also think the time I spent
with you guys was fun.

Thank you, Aoi.

Asahi...

Now, I have to go.

Yeah. Take care.

Everyone, this is how it should be, right?

Ai!

Asahi...

Love Flops.

Ai...

Asahi...

Ai!

Ai...

It hurts, Asahi.

Sorry!

How strange.
I had a lot I want to talk about, but...

Me too. But...

Listen, Asahi.

I have a request for you.

Request?

I want you to forget me.

You have to forget me and move on.

So...

Ai...

I can't move on like this.

Back in the day,

when we were kids,
didn't you pick up a lost dog one time?

Even though your dad said
it'll just make you cry later,

you still said you won't cry
and you'll look after it.

In the end, we found the owner
in about a month.

But you swore to not cry
in front of your dad.

You also once fought with
your dad and ran away.

Didn't we take shelter
under a playground slide that time?

We also stayed out late pulling up...

Asahi...

We fought against bullies, too.

- Listen, I'm...
- It's impossible.

Even if you tell me to forget,

that's just impossible.

I mean, we were always together.

Asahi...

Always together, ever since we were little.

Wherever we go, whatever we do,
it's always together.

We went to the same kindergarten,

then grade school,

even middle school.

You can pick out any memory of mine
and you'll be there.

There's no way I can forget you!

But even so, you have to forget me.

After all, you have a future of your own.

I also thought that way!

I also thought that I need to forget you.

I even came to this world
because of that.

But in the end, when I return
to the real world, things will stay the same.

I want you to be happy, Asahi.

I want you to live smiling.

In order for that...

You're wrong.

That's not it, Ai.

We were wrong.

Since then, until now.

I was afraid.

That you'll get sick and
disappear from my sight.

I was scared and ran away.

Weren't you the same, Ai?

I...

No matter how sad and painful it is,

we should have stayed together
in the time we had, every minute and second.

Asahi...

They taught me.

Mongfa, Ilina, Karin, Amelia, Aoi.

They all taught me.

That you shouldn't avert your eyes.

The time we spent together gave me
so much more happiness than sadness.

I shouldn't forget
that they made me happy.

But if that's the case,
you'll just end up always being...

I liked you.

I loved you, Ai.

Ever since we were little.

That's why, I won't forget you.

I'm not even going to consider it. Ever.

I should have said it sooner.

Had I done that,
we would have spent more time together.

We wouldn't have made that mistake.

I won't forget you, Ai.

Never, not from now on.

I'll walk forward carrying your memory.

Asahi, I'm...

I...

I wanted to do so many things.

Go to high school with you, study together,
go to school festivals and school trips.

Even to college.

But...

Knowing it wasn't possible for me,
that it'd never happen...

I became scared of spending time with you.

I thought that I shouldn't be with you.

But, I actually wanted to be with you.

I wanted to be together until the very end.

Because...

I also...

I also loved you!

I love you, Asahi.

Ai...

You've gotten taller.

Well, it has been two years.

I see.

Ai...

From the start, I'm a consciousness
that shouldn't have been born.

We're together until the end.

Yeah.

Thank you, Asahi.

I was really happy.

Here.

I'm glad my dream came true in the end.

Hey, Asahi.

Once we grow up, let's come here and...

Promise me, okay?

Yeah.

Goodbye, Asahi.

Goodbye, Ai.

Good work.

Welcome back.

I'm back.

Yoshino! Come here!

What's wrong?

Look!

Is that Musa Five?

Man. I wonder if
our company will close down.

Well, things will work out.

By the way, Asahi.

You should at least wear panties.

Bana...

W-Why am I...

Sorry!

I took it off for vital checks and forgot about it.

Oh, come on!

Whatever, please hurry up
and put some clothes on!

Kashiwagi!

The university club showcase was amazing!

Which club will you sign up for?

Nah, I still haven't decided.

I see.

Hey, wanna grab a bite
together after this?

As a celebration for us all
getting accepted, too.

Ah, sorry, today's a little...

What, you got something to do?

Yeah, a little something.

I'll make it up to you later.

Our next topic is about the latest
in artificial intelligence, AOI, or Aoi.

They're said to be able to
understand human feelings,

and are able to become more equal
partners to humans than current AIs.

They're expected to
be used in various fields.

About a year and a half ago...

Aoi will be implemented soon, eh, Chief?

Like I said, stop calling me that.

(The father of modern AI: Kotaro Izawa)
- It's fine, isn't it? You are the chief.

Hey, Fubukata.

What even are humans?

Huh?

Never mind.

More importantly,
have you done what I asked?

All sorted!

I'm doing fine over here.

I'm home!

Oh, your packages are here.

What are these?

Who'd even...

Asahi!

A-Amelia?

Hey, now, you're going ahead bby yourself again!p

Asahi!

We finally meet!

Karin, Mongfa, Ilina, you guys too?

How's this body looking?

It's great, right?

It was difficult to get used to it.

They should've made me
a little bit bigger, at least.

Why are...

It's thanks to Ai and Yoshino.

And Fubukky!

Anyway, we'll be intruding here from now on.

Huh?

They should've arrived by now.

Oh, how I want to see his surprised face.

But is it fine with just four?

She said she wants
to go there on her two feet.

But, really, love truly is interesting.

Even new models with
higher capabilities can't be like them.

What you need for love isn't more FLOPS.

What's wrong?

I mean, someone
so inexperienced in love is...

I definitely

don't want to hear that from you!

- Wait, stop! Yoshino! Stop!
- Come here!

Listen, as I thought, there's no way
this many of us can fit here...

It'll be fine once we get used to it.

Rather, having this little room
is actually convenient. Right?

Hey, Mongie, don't steal a march on us.

Starting multiple courses.

We don't even have sleeping space.

It'll be fine! We will...

We'll get used to it!

On this day, the five meetings
brought by the summer breeze...

I will never forget them.
