Compiler (COMPILER 陰の章)

The train departing at 11:00 from the Ominha line

will be stopping at every station. Final stop is Kando.

Is that the best you can do, Compiler?

I'm talking about your jokes!

I don't want to hear that coming from you, Debug.

My jokes still make people laugh at least.

What?! Are you saying my puns aren't funny?

Of course not, though if you managed to make me laugh...

I'd %$·& your $%&#.

Y-Your %$·&· would make me $%·$%?

Alright then! I'll show you how awfu- NO interesting...

- ..my puns really are! - Get going, already.

When can I finally ride on this monorail?

I'm riding it now!

pun: monorail ≈ mou noreru -> riding now

Well, Compiler? How was my awesome pun?

I bet you fell off your chair laughing at that masterful punchline!

pun: ochi = to fall/punchline

The wit and depth of my puns are simply unbeatable!

You beat me using brute force! That's playing dirty, Compiler!

That's just how I roll. Didn't you know, Debug?

That's... not fair...

Compiler. Wake up, Compiler.

Plasma, what are you doing here?

My reason doesn't matter, Compiler. I came to inform you of the Digital World Council's decision

The Council?

The Council has lost all interest in Earth and has suspended the invasion.

What?! Then, we have to...

Routines: Special beings from the Digital World (e.g Compiler, Debug, Plasma, etc.)

The Routines from this world have 3 days to return to the Digital World.

After that, the Council won't interfere with this world anymore.

Assembler, Interpreter, and I are traitors, you know!

All of your past crimes have been forgiven.

You are innocent, Compiler.

- Is that so... - Well then, Compiler.

You understand, right? You have 3 days.

Make your preparations to come back.

What if I don't want to go back?

In that case, we will have to erase this world.

A dream?

For me to have a dream...

What's wrong with me?

What a weird dream, anyway!

Those are Plasma's footprints... It wasn't a dream after all!

It wasn't a dream... Damn her.

Breaking into someone's room with her dirty shoes!

Meanie! You totally suck!

-But Assembler... -You said today we'd have a date!

- Did I? - Yes you did! Did you forget, Toshi?!

- I'm sorry. -Damn it, you're always like this!

Actually, I made plans with a friend today.

What?! A friend? Who is this friend?

Well, you see, uh...

Would you excuse me?

-Megumi... - Ah Assembler, long time no see.

- Is Toshi there? -Hi.

Oh my!

Toshi!

Megu-chan.

I missed you so much, Toshi.

I've been waiting for this day for so, so long!

Hold on a minute! What are you doing, invading my house?!

Your house, you say?

I cannot let that go unchallenged, Assembler.

- What do you mean? -Assembler!

I'm going to be perfectly clear with you.

Toshi and I are united by the red string of fate!

No way, that's absurd!

Oh, you say that, but I have proof.

-Proof? -That's right.

My spacial station Tendoji 55

has proven the strength of our bond.

What?

In other words!

Our red string of fate is so strong that

you can literally see it from space!

It's as long as the Great Wall of China!

Now do you understand?

One day we will get married, and live happily in this house.

Isn't that right, Toshi?

And therefore...

This house is basically my house!

So what are you doing in my house, Assembler?!

Yes, you! You! You!

You understand now, right?

Toshi, let's go see that movie.

-Hold on, Megumi. -Let's go.

I-I'm going out!

I... lost.

Man, it's hot... What's going on Assembler, did you wet yourself?

Huh, am I wrong?

Thanks for the food!

Did you really have to order it with pork in it?

'Course I did.

Soy sauce ramen is great on its own.

But it's so much better with pork!

You just disrespected soy sauce ramen right in front of me?! Eh?!

-Did someone come in? -Dunno.

-Ah, it's just you? -Make sure to knock first at least.

Sorry.

So, what brings you today?

-W-What are you doing? -Come on, stop fooling around!

Please, no, stop!

If ramen's what you want, I can make it for you!

We can give you rice too, please have mercy!

And that's two.

I'm absolutely fed up!

And what are you gonna do?

Nerima Power... Maximum!

Come, Nerima Queen!

Transform!

I am Tokyo's Heroine!

Nerima Queen!

I will never forgive you!

What? You stuck up brat!

If you think you can beat me, come try!

-Nachi, where is Assembler? -Assembler?

In her room, right?

Gotcha.

What the hell, Nachi, you are eating Nattō?! That's disgusting!!

What're you saying, Compiler? Nattō's delicious y'know.

Stop it, get that away from me!

You're weird, just try it, it's good.

No!

What's wrong with you?

Almost made me drop my bowl!

Shut up! Eat your Nattō and die!

Geez! All he does is watch kiddie shows,

no wonder he likes Nattō! I hate him!

Queen Nerima Attack!

It's not a kiddie show. This is a documentary.

It's finished.

Assembler, you in there?

-What is it, Compiler? -I'm coming in.

Why the long face, Assembler?

Did Toshi dump you or something?

That'd never happen!

Sorry, but I didn't come here to talk about that.

What happened, Compiler?

How long have we been on Earth since we first came here?

Two and a half years, I think.

We've been through so many things. Do you remember, Assembler?

Compiler, you're acting weird. What's up?

The Council ordered us to return to the Digital World.

What?

It can't be! They would never forgive us!

But they did, we're forgiven.

That's impossible...

Plasma said we have three days to come back.

If we don't...

we'll be erased along with this dimension... apparently.

What will we do once we return to the Digital World?

We must make sure the humans forget their memories of us.

We always knew this might happen, right, Assembler?

I don't want to go back to the Digital World! Because, because...

I'd absolutely hate it if Toshi forgot me!

Then, do you want Toshi to disappear along with this world?

-No... -You don't want Toshi to die, right?

Listen carefuly, Assembler.

The Council wanted us to conquer this world

because they thought it'd be useful.

That's why they never destroyed this world even when they had the power to do so.

Now we, along with this world, have lost all value to them.

That's what the Council decided.

That's why they ordered us to return before this world gets erased.

If we are of no use anymore, why can't they just leave us alone!

You and I are like trash the Council's failed to dispose of.

They can't stand the idea of us sullying their name.

So these are their options: Either throw out the trash, or clean it up.

That's how they think.

Are you fine with this, Compiler?

Are you fine with Nachi forgetting everything about you?

I hate men that eat Nattō, so...

You only have 3 days. Make some good memories with Toshi while you can.

Memories?

Those memories will disappear in 3 days, though.

Memories with Toshi?

Only 3 days left...

I don't need any good memories.

I don't want to pursue something...

that I know will disapear...

I was really happy you tagged along with me today.

Yeah, I had fun too.

Thanks, Megumi.

Don't mention it, I'm happy you enjoyed it!

-Well then, good night, Toshi. -Good night, Megumi.

Oh, right.

Megumi.

Almost forgot my goodbye kiss.

See you tomorrow, Toshi!

See you.

Assembler.

You've been here since the start?

What just happened...

Megumi tried to... Umm...

Assembler.

-Wait! -Toshi.

What're you up to?

What am I...

What am I even doing?
