Gokuraku: Before you recover "Ai," please ask "Ai" what she
wants.
It's true that it's not yet the recovery time.
<27>
Youta: Video Shop Gokuraku!
Please appear! You said it would appear anytime if I
had this membership card!!
Shit. Give Ai-chan back to me.
Sound: Wiiiiiiiii.
Wiiiiiiiii.
Wiiiiiiiii.
<28>
Sound: Wiiiiiiiii.
Youta: The VCR is still playing. so.
Sound: Gusya.
Youta: Uh.
Because the VCR is still playing, Ai-chan must be
somewhere!!
<29>
Narrator: He walked around the next as well, and kept looking
for Ai.
Youta: You're not anywhere anymore, Ai-chan.
<30>
Ai: Take me to Youta right now!!
Rolex: Ai! What is your role!?
<31>
Ai: To comfort.
Rolex: That's right. You must think only about comforting.
But look at yourself now, you're jealous,
lonely, flirtatious. You now have many emotions.
<32>
Rolex: In that way, you're not different from normal girls.
A Video Girl has to be like an angel to men. There's
no reason to exist if you're like normal
girls.
You have a limited playing time, so you can't live
like a normal girl.
You can't work as a Video Girl, so strange things
are appearing on your body. This is enough
to retrieve you.
<33>
Ai: Oh no.
Please! Secretly take me back to Youta!!
Gokuraku: It's impossible.
Give up.
Ai: What's going to happen to Youta!! He must be looking
for me!!
Gokuraku: I think he's not looking for you anymore.
Ai: Why not!!
Gokuraku: Actually, while we've been talking here for only a
few minutes, in the real world it has been
one week. That means our time is in fast-forward.
<34>
Ai: No kidding.
Gokuraku: I'm not kidding. You have one more month of playing
time.
To recover you, I'm fast-forwarding you.
I bet Youta already gave up after a week, and pretty
soon you'll finish fast-forwarding.
Ai: Such a thing.
Show me what Youta is doing now!! Either he gave up
on me or her didn't!!
<35>
Gokuraku: .will be hard for you.
Sound: Bu-n. Puchi.
Ai: Youta!!
Sound: Gaba.
Youta: Excuse me.
Sound: Fura.
People: What?
<36>
Youta: Have you seen this girl?
People: I don't know. Maybe she's at a television station?
Youta: Excuse me, do you know this girl? Her name is
Ai-chan.
Ai: Youta. .looking for me for a week.
<37>
Ai: He's looking for me! He's looking for me!! I have to
go to him!
Right now, to him!!
If I'm a failure as a Video Girl, make me human!!
You're called a "God"!!
You can do that, right!?
Please.
<38>
Sound: Bi-- Gasya. Biri. Wuuu.
Youta: Ai-chan.
Sound: Su--

Youta: Ai-chan.!!

Moemi: Oh, Moteuchi-kun!
Youta: Moemi-chan.!
<43>
Youta: So, she's not here. Ai-chan.
Moemi: You haven't been to school at all, and even though I
call you, the answering machine
answers. So I was worried.
Youta: I see.
Moemi: I'm sorry. The door was open, so I thought maybe you
would be back soon, and I came in.
Youta: Moemi-chan. It's late, so you should go home.
Moemi: O-okay.
Youta: I'm sorry I made you worry.
<44>
Ai: Welcome home.
Moemi: When I came to the entrance, Ai-chan was here, so
she let me in.
Ai: It's pretty late, but. Here! Illustration board. I'm
sorry like this.
<45>
Ai: You stink. Haven't you taken a shower?
Youta: Whose fault is it, stupid!
Sign: [I send you ale!! Ai Amano]
Youta: .is this a dream or illusion. .anyway, Ai-chan is in
front of me! But this, I didn't know the
package had changed.
