Planetarian: The Reverie of a Little Planet

Hoshino Yumemi?

Yes. Hoshino Yumemi.

Good, we have video!

--Look Manager, we got video. --That was the name chosen from 1263 entries.

--Oh, good. --That was the name chosen from 1263 entries.

--Oh, good. --Pretty good, huh?

Yes, I think it is a wonderful name.

Thank you very much.

Don't thank us, thank the customers.

Good luck, Yumemi!

Yes, I will do my best.

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.

Do you understand, Yumemi?

Yes, Mr. Manager.

"planetarian" "~the reverie of a little planet~"

It was a sarcophagus city. "planetarian" "~the reverie of a little planet~"

It was a sarcophagus city.

30 years ago, when the war was still in its early stages,

the city was struck by a germ-bomb attack, and abandoned.

Damnit, what a persistent bunch!

Anti-personnel tanks protect the city from intruders,

long after the city itself turned into nothing but rubble and ruin.

A military installation?

I was on a search.

Sealed preserved foods, medical supplies, precision equipment, weapons, ammunition.

Anything useful.

That was my job, just like any other person who calls himself a Junker.

Electricity? Here?

It doesn't look like a military installation.

Congratulations! You are our 2,500,000th customer!

What the hell is a woman doing here...?

"Chapter 1" "The Robot's Bouquet"

What do you want?

I beg your pardon. I humbly, humbly beg your pardon.

I lied. To be precise, you are the 2,487,288th customer.

Actually, that's not exactly accurate either.

Some time ago, I made an exception and let a little boy and little girl in

when they didn't have enough for the admission fee.

"Hoshino Yumemi" when they didn't have enough for the admission fee.

when they didn't have enough for the admission fee.

So technically, you are the 2,487,290th customer.

I sincerely beg your pardon...

"East" I sincerely beg your pardon...

I sincerely beg your pardon...

Um, Mr. Customer?

You are our first customer in exactly 29 years and 81 days.

Welcome to the rooftop planetarium of the Flowercrest Department Store!

Are you a robot?

Yes! I am a robot.

My name is Hoshino Yumemi, and I am a member of the staff at this institution.

What the hell is that?

It's a bouquet. Please accept this in commemoration of your visit here.

A bouquet, huh?

I beg your pardon!

I was not able to acquire real flowers for you.

The flower shop on the first floor has not answered the telephone for a while.

So I tried making one myself.

Are you broken?

Yes. I am just a little broken.

There currently exists an unidentified bug in my self-diagnostic subroutines.

My backup CMOS battery is depleted and must be replaced.

My cervical vertebral power unit is past its operational lifespan and must be replaced.

There also exists known issues with my personal information databases

and my conversation subroutines.

Because of them, the tendency to engage in verbose conversation

without taking time into consideration has become a unique characteristic of this unit.

Damnit...

Um, Mr. Customer?

Could it be that you are not feeling well?

May I escort you to our department store's medical office?

Mr. Customer? Mr. Customer?

Shut up. I am not a customer nor am I sick.

Is that so?

Well then, the next projection will start in seven minutes.

--Please take your seat and wait until that time. --This thing simply won't shut up.

I am repeating myself here, but I am not a customer.

Is that so? But since you're here anyway, why don't you take a look at our projection?

Shut up.

The projection is only 45 minutes long.

Look, just shut up.

--Oh, and I am sorry, but smoking during the projection is...

--Shut up! Don't open your mouth! --Oh, and I am sorry, but smoking during the projection is...

I am begging you, just be quiet!

Yes. Request acknowledged.

How wonderful.

Um, Mr. Customer. There is one request I would like to make before I become quiet.

Hey, your silence lasted for only three seconds.

If it's not too much trouble, please.
