Sagrada Reset Part 1 (サクラダリセット 前篇)

Seeing a rainbow in the sky...

makes my heart soar and rejoice.

Same for life's beginning.

Sumire Soma has passed away.

And even now in adulthood.

I hope it lasts even through old age.

Otherwise, life has no meaning.

All children are adult fathers.

Hopefully, each and every day in my life...

is linked in Nature.

Reset.

Just one word...

can send the world reeling back 3 days.

SAGRADA RESET Part1

Good morning, Kei!

It is now 5 p.m. on Sept. 16th, yesterday, your time,

coming to you from the music club.

Don't start the day with heavy sighs.

Yesterday is already ancient history to us, eh Kei?

Let me forecast the weather out there.

Here, let me flip a coin and find out.

Clear and sunny!

A 17-year-old girl from Sakurada City writes...

"New seating at school."

"It seems the boy who sits next to me has lost his dog."

"I really wish I could talk to animals."

So here's a song.

Brand new, entitled: "Just About 15 Minutes More".

I want you to hear it first.

Drop by the Music Club room first, and tell me what you think.

I'll be waiting!

September 17

Morning.

Morning.

Morning.

Morning.

Morning.

What was that? An accident?

It's Minami.

Someone call the school!

Someone already did!

Somebody!

When was our last "save"?

Two days ago... at 12:35 p.m.

Haruki.

I know.

Do a reset.

Timestamp, September 15, 12:35:20 p.m.

Now saved.

Lunch recess 2 days ago

We did a reset.

Something happened?

Minami gets into an accident on the way to school.

September 17th.

When Haruki chants "Reset"...

she can rewind time to a saved marker up to 3 days.

The rewound time becomes forgotten forever.

Even Haruki retains no memory of having used the reset.

But my power lies in remembering every last detail.

And that includes the world that was reset.

Me and Haruki must therefore be paired.

We can save Minami.

I want to erase the accident.

Okay.

Sakurada is an ordinary town, but with people...

of extraordinary powers.

And yet if they leave town, their powers are forgotten.

Hey Tomoki.

When you finish that song, don't wake me to say so.

Why not? Did you do a reset?

Do me a favor.

At 8:23 a.m. the day after tomorrow, give a shoutout to Minami.

Tomoki Nakano has the power to "send a voice"...

to anyone he wishes.

Got it. What should I say?

The Bureau has flagged a "Special" requiring caution.

What did the old guy do?

You just have to follow instructions and nullify his power.

You wish to be stronger than Kei Asai?

September 17

Every reset blocks a "save" for 24 hours.

In short, we're restricted to one reset a day.

Morning.

Morning.

There's no room to fail.

Morning.

Minami, look out!

Minami! Looking forward to your play.

Thanks. Don't miss it.

It went well.

I won't lose anymore people.

Put in a "save".

Okay.

To prevent such disasters as these, we do a "save" every 3 days.

Timestamp September 17, 3:23:15 p.m.

Now saved.

Once a "save" is placed, the past becomes locked.

We belong to a public service club under Bureau jurisdiction.

There, we voluntarily follow instructions to assist those in need.

"Social Studies Planning Room, Public Service Club"

The Bureau controls all Sakurada residents with special powers.

Mr. Tsushima acts as club advisor while teaching Geography.

"Proficiency List"

But he himself is not a "Special".

Sorry I'm late.

There's a new request.

Hiroyuki Sasano, 75.

I'm to recover ability stolen from him.

These photos show many things we've already lost.

But my power, if restored, would allow me to visit those scenes.

My ability is one that permits me to enter those photos.

What's the trigger?

Tearing the photo lets me inside.

For 10 minutes, I can revel in nostalgic memories.

Would you care to elaborate?

Take this photo for example.

I have to be where this photo was taken before tearing it.

I see.

I hear a red-eyed girl stripped you of your power.

She looked to be about your age. No, perhaps she was younger.

Can you explain how she used her power to take away yours?

She approached boasting about her red contact lenses.

Once our eyes met, I lost power.

Understood.

I'd like to help, Mr. Sasano.

If you restore my ability, I don't know how I can repay you.

That's not necessary. We're a public service.

I couldn't help taking that one. The waterfall was so beautiful.

I think it was...

Taken 2 years ago.

On October 2nd.

It was in the late afternoon.

Yes, yes. That's when it was.

Hello?

Hey, how'd it go?

I just left Mr. Sasano.

Got it. Thanks.

There's something else.

A new request?

No.

Someone high up in the Bureau wants to see you and Haruki.

I'm talking someone near the top.

I can't refuse the summons.

- What's it about? - Don't know.

Have you done something again?

Why'd you let Kei Asai in the Club?

You know the Bureau's watching him.

Same reason as you.

Focus on your studies so you're not held back again.

Your talent won't feed you.

If you nod, it's the same as a promise, right?

September 18

Does this building belong to the Bureau?

I'm afraid I'm not at liberty to say.

Who are we meeting?

I can't say.

I was told it's someone near the top of the organization.

That much is true.

You look like you could use more security.

Is that a question?

Is there an answer?

I can't say.

Release.

Miss Haruki is to wait here.

Just Haruki?

You'll be shown through one at a time.

I'll see you later.

See you.

Engage.

Follow me.

Release.

Enter.

Take a seat.

Sure.

Right hand, lock. Left hand, unlock.

That's correct.

Very good.

The object of his power never changes.

It's as if secured by a lock itself.

Kei Asai.

"Nice to meet you" as it were.

No. We've spoken before.

Ms. "Priestess"?

That's what you said then.

Yes.

Next door is a bedroom.

Beyond that, a bath and lavatory.

And a small exercise space.

Any windows?

No.

I see. For your protection?

For your captivity.

Kei Asai, take a seat.

Bow forward slightly.

I've long wanted to see you.

So that I could apologize to you.

For what?

For compelling you to come here.

You mean for drawing me to this town?

You have a phone call.
