No one can play in the sculpture garden

Petrified faces are watching in the dark

Fortune is calling you in this mystical world

You'll find a way

Cloud in the mists of time

You must take your aim and play your game

Emotional neglect is the price that you must pay to your desire

It's Alsatia

You just believe in the lie to forget the awful truth

You know the disturbance never ends

There's no end to this struggle to seek eternity

Even giving up

Is only permitted at the end of time

My prayers won't reach...

Cause disarray

The recollections carved in my mind

Pile up on a painful tomorrow

An intoxicating distortion has continued

Since my familiar past

Search for the truth

The scars carved into my body

Are a warning of the future

The maddening past brings forth

A sweet intoxication

...

Tomaru koto nai kuon motomeru agaki

Akirameru koto

Sore sae mo akirameru toki no hate

Inori wa todokanai

Cause disarray

Kizamu kioku wa

Setsunaku mirai e kasanaru

Natsukashii kako kara tsuzuku

Yuganda meitei

Search for the truth

Kizamu kizuato

Sore wa mirai e no imashime

Kuruoshii kako ga mo tarasu

Thank You For Your Purchase!

Rin Asougi

Are we safe?

Somewhat.

Now, let's go.

Hanna?

Hey, wake up, Hanna.

Hanna...

You are...

No...

Hey, Papa.

May I download a new bag?

Okay.

All right!

Let's see...

This one.

I don't really know, so...

Thank you.

All right!

I was in 2.0 when I was young.

The digital world and the real world were separate.

A reality you can't play with is no fun.

Put your clothes on properly before you go.

It's only good manners.

Okay.

It's okay to enjoy the party,

but don't download illegal things.

Understand, Mishio?

I know.

I'm not that stupid.

Also, put some clothes on when you're at home—

Okay, okay.

Here it is.

Do you mind if I borrow this for a while, Grandma?

This is old!

Father's old embarrassing memories?

"We have a case, Watson."

He certainly was a troublemaker as a child.

The CEO of the Maeno Group Holdings did this?

Rin?

This is old!

Rin.

But she's beautiful.

What are you recording?

Who is this?

Could she be father's old girlfriend?

Oh no, it's already time.

Ah, that rumour?

Immortals or something, Fruits of Time?

Young people sure think about strange things.

According to an acquaintance named Amasama...

Well then, please convey my regards to your father.

Yes.

Later.

You look bored.

There aren't any nice guys.

What about me?

Wrong guy.

You actually said it.

I'm popular elsewhere, you know.

Then you should go elsewhere.

It has nothing to do with me.

Do they exist somewhere?

Nice guys who would give tens of billions just like that to go out with me.

It would be a joke if someone else said it,

but you sound serious when you say it.

Say, who's that?

The red, flashy one.

Mrs. Numata from Yotsubishi.

No, the one to the right of her.

The beautiful woman wearing a black dress.

I think she's with James & Will.

Should I look in the register?

It's okay. You don't have to go that far.

Is something wrong with her?

Just a sec.

I'm pretty sure

that she's named Rin.

You like the Impressionists.

Is it because politics is all about the certainties?

What do you want, boy?

You mustn't judge people by their appearances.

I'm going to tell you something interesting.

Lady Anji.

Mrs. Numata from Yotsubishi would like to meet with you.

Also, Mrs. Claudel from James & Will would like you to contact her.

Very good.

Thank you.

Also, the project plans from earlier...

...were very well done.

Really?

But I can't let you get involved with the project itself.

I'll probably take control of it myself.

Very well.

It is said that Yaobikuni gained immortality by eating mermaids.

Whether it's east or west, people have always yearned for immortality.

Emperor Qin Shi Huang ordered a sorcerer named Xu Fu to obtain elixirs of immortality from Penglai Island.

Penglai Island was said to be Japan.

In Japan, the Emperor ordered a certain man to find a medicine for immortality.

The Fruit from the Fragrant Tree of Time.

His name was Tajimamori.

Unfortunately, by the time he found it, the Emperor was already dead.

Rin.

Maeno.

Yes.

After that, Tajimamori's clan was said to have split into Tajima, Kuki, and Maeno.

Are there any legends in your household?

None at all.

That's too bad.

If there really was a Fruit from the Fragrant Tree of Time, I'd like to have a few.

Now then, if we turn to India,

there is a scripture called the Rig Veda in Brahmanism,

in which the King of the Land of Gold rises up and...

What is it?

I'm in the middle of a class.

It's just a folklore class, right?

That's easy.

Never mind that. Let's go play.

Sounds great. I'm on my way.

You are...

Is that right?

You want the project that much?

Are you really sure you don't want me to take you home?

I'm Mishio Maeno! I'm okay!

You're not okay.

Shut up. Go home.

Then, I'm going back.

Later.

I'm going home.

I'm sorry.

Rin?

Hey.

Hello?

Are you all right?

You're going to catch a cold.

Hey, you.

Did you install an illegal program or something?

There's no corpse.

Mishio Maeno.

Excuse me!

What's wrong?

You fool, she's the daughter of the Maeno Group's CEO!

Our sponsor?

She really was there!

She really was dead!

A disappearing corpse.

A mysterious woman who left the scene.

Moreover, she might be related to some girl's father.

"Isn't this a real case, Watson?"

"But Holmes, this is data from many decades ago."

"Are you sure you weren't seeing someone else?"

"Think about it logically."

"Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."

"We should start with the register from the recent party."

Tamaki Saito from James & Will.

Not Rin?

But these two...

Are they unrelated?

What is that?

Didn't you see it?

You know, the thing that lets you become immortal.

The Fruit of Time?

Is it a fruit?

Not that.

The Yggdrasill thing?

That's just a rumour.

Something like that couldn't possibly exist.

Hey, hey, have you heard?

Chief Claudel from the development group, right?

She's missing.

That's right. She was your boss, wasn't she?

Do you know anything?

No. But she was a terrible person.

We can't contact Mrs. Claudel anymore.

Tamaki, see you later.

See you later.

Hi.

Hey, can we meet for a bit?

I can't.

What about a download?

A physical program... You know that doesn't work too well, right?

That's right.

Then can we have dinner or something?

Yeah.

Cheers.

It's obvious that you're watching them.

This duck is delicious.

Hey, do you know the guy she's sitting with?

I don't.

Look him up!

No way I can do that!

It's private information!

I'm just playing along with your detective game.

It's not a game!

I got it.

Don't shout.

Tamaki.

Have you given it some thought?

You're a nice guy...

Tamaki.

You...

...don't know about me.

Neither do I.

Tamaki.

If that's even my real name.

But, that's...

I...

...don't have any memory of the past.

Where I was born...

Not even my real name.

I don't know at all.

Five years ago,

I washed up on a beach.

I'd been saved.

This is what I had in my hands at the time.

I'm sorry.

Hey, look at that.

What is it?

That, that.

Hey, she was crying.

Maybe they were talking about breaking up?

Maybe.

Follow her, you ladykiller.

Mishio?

Yes.

Again?

You never say anything.

But it's okay.

I...

I...

Welcome back.

Yes.

Hey...

What is it?

A digital dress again?

Who is Rin?

Where did you find this data?

It was on Grandma's shelf.

I see.

Who is she?

Rin Asougi.

She saved my life.

Thanks to her, I can be the way I am now.

Was she your lover?

No. That's not it.

Damn.

Then she's not your long-lost sister either?

What are you saying?

She's probably Rin's daughter,

but I met someone who looks just like her.

And then, when I went drinking with Tajima recently...

Where?

Where did you meet her?

That's...

Landy Anji.

Rin.

Rin!

Just as I expected.

You're alive.

It's me, Teruki Maeno.

Is it possible that you know about my past?

I have amnesia!

Please.

What kind of person was I?

Please, tell me.

I'm sorry.

It seems I have the wrong person.

Wait!

Please!

Wait!

Please!

Who is... Rin?

I don't know.

Help me.

Ihika.

It's a beautiful garden.

So you think this lonely garden is beautiful?

You're getting old.

I'm so old that I even think you look good as a nun.

You managed to find this place.

I asked Numata from Yotsubishi.

I heard Mrs. Numata is studying with you?

Now you're even able to order Yotsubishi around.

Many things have happened since then.

The world moved on.

I kept on running.

And when I looked back, I'd become the leader of some corporate group.

From Numata, I heard about this nun in Kyoto that lives forever.

They call you Imayobikuni, I heard?

Many things have happened to me, actually.

Before I noticed, I'd become a nun that talks about prophecies.

Rin is alive.

I met her too.

Rin's eyes were the eyes of the ones who want me dead.

That can't be!

She's hunting the immortals.

My daughter said Rin was involved in a murder.

If we think about the time frame,

that would be Lona Claudel.

She was an immortal?

We sometimes fail to notice others like us.

Even if we're together for a long time, sometimes we don't know.

After Rin disappeared,

I tried to build a network of acquaintances.

But recently, the number of people I can't contact has been increasing.

You're saying that Rin is responsible?

No way.

She lost her memory.

Or maybe Apos is controlling her?

In the first place, can we ever really lose our memories?

Apos?

But did you really see Rin?

That hurts.

Why?

It's Christmas Eve. Why is it you?

Why isn't it some nice guy?

Maybe because it's fate?

There's no way something like that would happen!

I'm sorry—

What are you doing?

What's wrong, Mishio?

Follow me, Watson.

Hey, wait!

Don't.

No.

Let me take a shower first.

Merry Christmas!

Ihika?

Ihika?

A present for good children!

Wh-What's happening?

Th-The police.

I already called them.

Hey, that's illegal.

I can't let them die.

What? Why?

The same face?

Because there's someone who called me Rin.

That's how I knew you were alive.

It hurts!

It hurts!

You seem to have lost your memory.

Help me!

Ihika!

Ihika!

Apparently it's real.

It hurts!

Help me! Ihika!

Apos must have been disappointed.

A Fruit of Time?

Why?

Well, doesn't matter.

I'll take this back too.

There are two Tamakis?

Why?

Ow...

Hey, are you okay?

Somehow.

If I don't train my body, a physical program doesn't work.

Still, you broke through the door with perfect timing, Watson.

You know, you have to stop this.

You might be the one that gets hit first.

Humans react to things that move.

Even if they don't want to.

Geez.

Can you walk?

No.

My ankle is broken... probably.

Also...

Three partitions is rough.

Both the killer and victim are Tamaki Saito?

They're both real.

Damn you.

You.

Run!

I heard earnings from the microwave department have fallen.

Illegal transmissions from data carriers are increasing, and that works against us.

Is that right?

Is James from MPA here?

Yes.

He's been waiting for a while.

Let him wait a bit longer.

He seems to have grown enough to read our expressions.

What about your dinner with Ananda Hermanda?

To deal with a combination of the three great merchant companies in the world...

What's wrong, Mishio?

Teruki?

Rin.

I wanted to meet you.

I don't remember inviting you.

Or has the situation reached a point that calls for a meeting?

Shut up, old man.

Is this my reward for having wasted time?

I'm not the one who doesn't have time.

It's Yggdrasill.

Really?

It can kill even you.

Fool.

You're the fool.

Regarding Rin as well.

Damn you.

I'm going to take her.

You can stay here and eat Fruits of Time,

and live your miserable life forever.

You, the former god.

Rin.

Well then?

Mishio, was it?

How's your daughter?

She's fine.

She's resting in her room.

I got her in trouble.

She's a reckless girl.

But she saved me.

Is her ankle okay?

Just a simple fracture.

It'll heal soon.

Did you get your memories back?

Yes.

That was the first time my body was completely destroyed.

Reconstructing my body probably took a decade,

and my memory ended up scrambled

Because of that...

I needed a restart.

Before, you left me because you knew I'd lost my memory, right?

Thank you.

No.

You're kind, Teruki.

It was cruel, though.

If you're dreaming, there are times when you don't want to wake up, right?

That's right.

It's been many centuries since I had a lover.

It was a sweet dream.

This was a dream too.

Good night.

Who are you?

Why... do I have this?

Ihika...

Failure... huh?

I have a present.

A present?

Well, you only look the same.

Even though I took the trouble to move many things.

You don't know how important Rin is.

Rin.

Now then.

Hey.

What is it?

Tell me about your past.

Ok. What would you like to know?

Let's see...

Rin's coming.

Rin's not the one who owns us.

That's what Maeno said.

Maeno?

Yes.

Mimi, do you believe it?

I want to believe it.

But from what we've seen, we know very well what's going on behind the scenes.

You know the rumours on the net?

About Fruits of Time, right?

The rumours surfaced about a month ago.

The information is pretty much correct.

But the idea that you become immortal if you eat it...

...is a fantasy.

Is one of our comrades leaking information?

It might be Apos.

No way.

Because the ones who are saying this can't see Yggdrasill.

Have you seen Yggdrasill since Rin disappeared?

Nobody knows when Yggdrasill will appear.

Sometimes we see it after a few months,

sometimes we don't see it for a few years.

But it's been thirty years.

Has something happened to Yggdrasill?

Probably.

It's trying to change something.

Apos should know as well.

You're so shallow.

Do you really want these that badly?

You're indecent.

You, too, will become a Seraphim's Egg, eventually.

It's been a long time since I last visited Kyoto.

Mishio?

I came by linear rail.

My sense of history...

You're the one who asked me to tell you.

But Nobunaga isn't...!

That's just my opinion.

But...

Rin!

Genta.

Look.

It's Rin.

You won't die from just this, right?

Since you're a cyborg.

Even though your hands are stained red with blood,

your blood seems black as night.

And it's colder than darkness.

The same as dead people.

It's okay. I won't kill you yet.

There are lots of things I want to ask you.

What's so funny?

Because I knew all of you were gathering here.

Do you think I came here without making plans?

What?

Th-This is...

Lady Anji...

No...

Now.

Embrace them as much as you want.

Rin...

Stop drinking, Ivan.

Try eating this.

It'll stop you from thinking you're near your end.

In exchange for this, I need a favour from you.

What?

It's something simple.

We're gonna climb this?

Why?

Mimi's place isn't too far away, right?

Wh-What's wrong?

Are you not feeling well?

Rin? Why?

Do you have something to protect yourself with?

Y-Yes, I have a stun gun from Dad.

Don't move from here.

Okay.

Genta.

Genta...

Good! Eat me more!

Lita.

Nao.

Alisa.

Looking at how you are now,

your memories must've come back.

Geez.

These people all stink, but it can't be helped.

Eat me...

You're like that too, aren't you?

You can feel the angels all around your body.

Embrace me.

You're able to maintain your will. You're someone to admire.

Let me help you.

You want your will to be obvious, don't you?

Go away!

You wasted three Fruits of Time.

Useless thing.

I can't let my guard down against you after all.

You're getting in my way!

I've been with you for a long time.

That's right.

Despite being around this long,

I'm always thinking about you.

Wondering what you're doing now, and things like that.

I didn't think about you at all.

I'm so unlucky.

But the more I'm rejected, the more exciting I find the love.

So let me remind you of one thing...

...of someone who's here.

Mimi.

Mimi?

Mimi!

Don't look.

Here you are.

You're so late. I was just killing time.

Apos?

You...

That's right.

I am a man, and not a man.

A woman, and not a woman.

An immortal angel.

Th-This... is...

Do you know what immortal angels are called?

They're called gods.

Rin...
