Planetarian: The Reverie of a Little Planet

"Chapter 5" "Yumemi's Wish"

I wasn't able to take it out with the first shot. That will cost me.

I have two rounds left. I need to get as close as possible, and first take out a leg.

Then I have to aim for the topside armor and knock it out.

Doesn't waste ammo, I see.

Standard operating procedure against an enemy of unknown firepower.

Then right back to suppressing fire...

Knew it!

One... two... three.

Ugh, my ears...

Need to grasp the situation...

Thirty seconds to reload. Next shot will be here soon.

Broken... An eye for an eye, a leg for a leg, is it?

Why did you do such a stupid thing?!

Welcome back, Mr. Customer. Are you hurt?

I told you to stay put until I got back!

The non-registered machine appeared to be in a rampant state.

A force-stop signal was sent, but was ignored.

The receiver may have been out of order,

so an emergency physical shutdown was attempted, and failed.

The rampant machine appears to have ceased functioning.

Please step away from the rampant machine

and report to a nearby police station or support center.

I'm sorry I disobeyed a critical order.

There was an older promise that I had to keep.

I must not knowingly allow any human being to come to harm.

Keeping this promise is the pride of us robots.

Mr. Customer, are you injured?

No, I'm fine.

I am very glad.

I apologize on his behalf.

I think he may have been broken too.

We robots were created for the happiness of humans.

I'm sure he didn't want to act so violently.

I know...

Because I too am a little broken.

The emergency batteries will empty in about 600 seconds.

Because the backup batteries are empty, I will not be able to boot after this.

I am sending a maintenance call, but it is not being acknowledged.

I feel just a little bit lonely.

You don't need to call anyone. I can help you.

But...

I will fix you.

I apologize for my disorderly state.

Please do not worry.

Since I am a robot, I do not feel pain. I can be repaired, or exchanged to a whole new body.

There are no engineers that can repair you... Or bodies to replace yours...

Or any humans that need you...

Not in this world...

Please, if you maintain that facial expression, you will worry me.

I am a robot. Your smiles are most important to me.

I remember everything. As a robot, I am good at remembering things.

I am Hoshino Yumemi. Thank you for the wonderful name.

I will work very hard. Thank you very much.

Here you go, Yumemi!

Yumemi, thank you for the pretty stars.

I will bring all of my friends next time, so stay well!

Next time, I will visit with my wife on our anniversary.

The stars were beautiful, like they were when I was young.

I hope I can visit you again next year.

I learned a lot about stars, and it was fun!

I will write about Yumemi on my summer science project.

Um, it was super pretty, and super cool.

I'm so going to come again.

I love you, Yumemi!

Thank you very much. I eagerly await your return.

Yumemi, we um... need to go on a trip for a while.

A trip? That sounds wonderful.

Yumemi...

Will you please wait here, until we come back?

Yes, understood. When will you be returning?

That's...

We're not sure yet.

But we will be back, for sure.

When that happens, please work with us again.
