&0 | Main Story | Prologue - Episode 1: Last Memory

One of the largest entertainment districts in Japan —

This city died once, a long time ago.

In the early 2000s, terrorist bombings took advantage of the weakened public order, which was at its lowest since the war.

For a decade, it was a paradise for the underside of society’s residents.

Now that the peace has been restored, the area has been renamed “Kabukicho” and is being reborn as a healthy town, sealing off its past.

But… Even now, malice continues to spread, hidden in the shadows of the bright neon lights.

In this town where light and dark merge, unforgettable days begin.

Convenience Store Interior

— Late at night

Kabukicho

Convenience Store

Koshimizu Sunao: Hey… Are you seriously just gonna let me die?

Store Manager: Stop looking at me like that. — I’m not giving you this bento.

Koshimizu Sunao: C’mon, just give me one of the expired ones! I haven’t eaten properly in three days and I’m starving!

Store Manager: Didn’t I tell you it’s not up to me? It’s an issue with the higher-ups, so if you’re not gonna buy anything, get out!

Yuki Reiji: Hey, Manager, the pot’s gettin’ low on hot water.

Store Manager: Ah, my bad! I’ll get more right away!

Koshimizu Sunao: Damn, they’re not like that with all customers… No money and they don’t even treat you like a human being.

Koshimizu Sunao: Jeez, that guy’s “Special Thick Milk Aojiru” ramen cup looks so gross!

Yuki Reiji: — What? If you’re interested in it you can take a bite.

Koshimizu Sunao: Eh…

Koshimizu Sunao: I-I didn’t say that I wanted it or anything!

Yuki Reiji: Is that so?

Yuki Reiji: Just the hot water then, Manager.

Store Manager: Thank you for your purchase. And out with you!

Koshimizu Sunao: Wah, don’t push me!

*Door beeps*

In front of the Kabukicho Arch

Koshimizu Sunao: Haaah… There’s seriously no love or hope in this town!

Yuki Reiji: …Haha.

Koshimizu Sunao: …What are you laughing at, Old Man!?

Yuki Reiji: My bad. I was just gonna say I agree with you.

Koshimizu Sunao: Eh…?

*Car driving*

Yuki・Koshimizu: !?

Koshimizu Sunao: Eh, oh god, not good, not good, not good… That car is about to hit that lady…!

Yuki Reiji: …!

On the road, Kabukicho

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

???: Haah… Haah…!

I was running as fast as I could through the neon-dyed streets, trying to muster up any strength I had left.

(I have to get out of here.)

I carved it into my memory and stole it, this important secret I have to deliver.

If they catch me — There’s nothing left for me except death.

(I have to be of service.)

“If you can’t be of service — Then there was no point of you being born.”

???: !?

As I looked over my shoulder, I saw a black van pull up along the sidewalk and rush toward me.

(They found me already.)

Koshimizu Sunao: Eh, oh god, not good, not good, not good… That car is about to hit that lady…!

Yuki Reiji: …!

*Car beeps*

Male Pedestrian: Uwah!?

???: Watch out!

*Thud*

A pedestrian jumps away from the street and is quickly pushed from the edge of the road.

Yuki・Koshimizu: !!

*Car screeches*

Illuminated by the headlights, my vision goes completely white.

(Not good…)

I immediately twist my body to avoid it, but —

*Crash*

???: Uuh…

(...Something… Barely grazed… My head…)

The world went completely white before my eyes — My consciousness was cut off there.

*Car drives*

Koshimizu Sunao: The car’s trying to back up! It’s trying to hit her on purpose…

Yuki Reiji: Hey, Kid, hold this.

*Footsteps running off*

Koshimizu Sunao: Eh? Ah, wait…!

The man pushed his cup of ramen into the hands of the young man and threw something towards the van.

*Pop*

A splash of bright red covers the windshield.

Koshimizu Sunao: !! Tomato juice…?

The van slams on its brakes and screeches to a halt as the man grabs the woman as she falls.

Yuki Reiji: Any external wounds… Alright, none. You’ll have to forgive me if I carry you a bit roughly.

???: Eh…

*Reiji runs off*

She’s still in a daze as he rushes into the alley without taking a breath, holding her lightly as he goes.

Koshimizu Sunao: That guy’s ramen cup… What kind of person just…!?

Bystanders grab their phones as the red-stained van speeds off.

Saved Pedestrian: Uwaah, I could’ve died! Holy shit! What the hell was up with that guy!?

A young man who survived walks away while making a huge fuss to someone who seems to be his friend.

Koshimizu Sunao: “That guy”... Risked his life to save her.

Koshimizu Sunao: I hope that lady is okay…

Back Alley

Yuki Reiji: — Here’s far enough.

???: Hnn…

Yuki Reiji: Just hold on a bit, I’ll call an ambulance right now…

???: N-No… Then the police will….!

Yuki Reiji: Eh?

???: I’m… Okay… Sorry… For getting you… Involv…

Before she could finish her sentence, she fell unconscious and collapsed into the man’s chest.

Perhaps due to the impact of the accident, the chain around her neck broke and bounced onto the asphalt.

Yuki Reiji: ! Could this be…

The man picks up the pendant and a dark light shines in his eyes.

Yuki Reiji: …I’ve been looking all over for this, I never thought I’d run into it here.

· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

— I had a dream. There was a dreamy field, full of colorful flowers.

(Wah, they’re so pretty! They’re so cheerful… So awe-inspiring.)

Right after that, child-me laughed —

My little feet began to trample the flowers.

(!? Why…? My feet won’t stop…)

(Stop… I don’t want to do this… This is scary… Stop already!)

(Please…! Someone help me!)

My heart broke until it was almost torn in half, and eventually…

The unbearable pain of it disappeared in a flash. All my thoughts vanished.

(...!)

(This is… A hospital? Why…)

Yukihara Kazuya: Good, you’ve finally come to.

Yuki Reiji: That was quite the nap. It’s already morning.

???: Who are you…?

Yuki Reiji: Yuki Reiji. I saved your life.

(Saved… My life?)

Yukihara Kazuya: I’m Yukihara Kazuya. This is Ichibangai Clinic. I’m a doctor here.

Yuki Reiji: By the way, he’s a black-market doctor. Since you said emergency first aid and the police were a no-go, right?

???: Eh…

Yukihara Kazuya: It’s a legal practice. But I’ll admit, we’re in the grey area.

Yukihara Kazuya: Here. Caffeine-free tea and some instant rice.

???: …Thank you.

Yuki Reiji: Now that you mention it, I’m starving too. And thirsty.

Yukihara Kazuya: If you want running water, it’s outside.

Yuki Reiji: Still harsh as ever to anyone who’s not your patient, huh.

Yukihara Kazuya: Unfortunately, I don’t have the capacity to pretend to be affectionate outside of work. Forgive me if it affects you.

Yuki Reiji: Whatever. I’ll take this candy then.

Yuki Reiji: But hey, what about you, Doc? You’ve been up all night, haven’t ya?

Yukihara Kazuya: Not a problem, I’ve got caffeine and nicotine.

Yuki Reiji: You’re the embodiment of the saying “doctors often neglect their own health”.

(It seems like they both stayed up all night looking after me.)

Yukihara Kazuya: Enough with these trivialities, more importantly, what’s your name?

(My… Name…)

(I’m…)

???: Who… Am I…?

Yuki・Yukihara: Eh…?

A Treasure Just for You

(Hanazawa Naito SR card Story Translation)

Naito is lamenting on his smartphone because his favorite game has released equipment for his favorite character. The character name is Viva Nosuke, a cute beaver robot for navigation. He likes this robot because the AI it uses is a bit special. Moreover it's based on the soul of a legendary soldier, so show no mercy to the enemies. (It looks like Naito's characteristic)

He explained gacha presentase.

He said that the item is limited item, but he felt pessimistic because of that. Despite saying that, he keeps staring at the screen of his phone every now and then.

Now he was pessimistic

But "me" convince Naito to get the item even though the possibility is not absolute.

"I heard that there is something called jinx in smartphone game gacha."

"If you follow that, you may be able to raise your SSR emission rate."

"I" want Mr. Knight what you thought

"I" didn't want to give up.

Finally Naito was sure to give it a try

We tried to get the limited items, but to no avail. "I" felt guilty towards him but Naito's face became slightly brighter. He said it's okay because he already got his SR.

At the last chance, we try to use the wood as good luck charm.

We ended up gacha near the shelf which was knocked for 3 times. It turns out that the color displayed is different from before. The desired SSR item has been obtained by us.

"Congratulations"

Naito: Thank you! Everything is thanks to you.

I'm sorry because I used up all the stones...

Naito: Don't worry about the stones, you just need to collect them again.

Naito: And I had an unexpectedly good time. I had a good time.

Naito: It's probably the first time I've been so excited about spinning a gacha.

Naito: Gacha is a probability, so I thought I should just spin it until it comes out.

Naito: I don't believe in good luck or bad luck. Because it's just random numbers. but......

Naito: I feel like I've found something new to enjoy by trying things out with you, going through joys and sorrows together.

Naito: Yeah, it was a lot of fun. I am satisfied.

My face is hot. I knew it regardless.
