Caught in the deluge of my sudden heartbeats

I want to express them to you

Time and my thoughts start to move

Turning towards you, my love

I've been waiting in the dead of night

for your shining call forever, I swear

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Take care so you don't get hurt

But don't you hate that just a little?

There's nothing wrong with this story

My past self

was annoyed,

wasn't moving forward

Please forgive me

My first move is always to hesitate

Caught in the deluge of my sudden heartbeats

I want to express them to you

Time and my thoughts start to move

Turning towards you, my love

Enter BPS! i-mode vs Supercomputer And introducing the King of Americal

United States of America Seattle-Tacoma International Airport

Global Freight Company BHL

Your cargo arrived at SeaTac airport at 7am today.

The delivery is right on schedule.

You're very welcome! Have a nice day!

Hm?

Meep!

What in the world?

Sir! Sir!

Just take a look, sir!

Hmm...

What seems to be the problem?

It's gone... It was right there!

Are you sure you weren't dreaming?

I know it's tempting to nap after lunch,

but please don't do it on company time.

But...

I know what I saw.

A weird little bunny thing...

Oh, er, Mr. Rintarou Oze?

Delivery for you. Sign here, please.

Thank you!

Small Jugs Chinese Restaurant

Hey.

Um, hello there.

They told me I could find "him" here...

Is that BPS?

Word of advice, buddy — be careful of that guy.

You piss him off, suddenly you find your bank account's been cleaned out.

Next thing you know, you've got a permanent criminal record. Groper. Panty thief.

All in a day's work for him.

So it's all true, what they say about him.

Um, excuse me?

You are, I believe, Akira Shirase?

The legendary hacker genius they call Battle Programmer Shirase, or BPS for short?

Um...

Professor Hayashi told me to come.

My name is Akizuki. I handle public Relations for Eibin Electronics Ltd.

I'll just sit if you don't mind.

Mr. Shirase, I've seen your name come up many times on websites and mailing lists related to BPS.

I have a job offer for you...

I don't work for money.

I'm quite aware of that!

I scoured Akihabara to find this.

Is this...?

Not bad, hm?

It's the discontinued Eibin Electronics X68 series doujinshi SCSI card.

Made by lwasawa Manufacturing.

Deal.

Bye Misao!

Bye!

Bye bye!

Hello Mommy.

Hello darling.

You're late leaving today.

Mmm.

Oh, Misao, remember you have ballet today.

Yes. I'll head out soon.

Oh, Misao, I'll probably be out late tonight.

Teaching patchwork?

Today's the welcome party for our new students.

Do teachers have to go too?

Of course they do, silly!

Oh, okay...

Change your clothes before going out!

I'l change at Onii-chan's!

Don't impose on him too much!

I won't!

Onii-chan, are you there?

I'm coming in anyway!

Hey, Onii-chan!

Oh, it's Misao-chan. Sup.

It's nearly evening, you know! I bet you were up all night on your computer.

Mommy said you need to find yourself a wife ASAP!

Easier said than done.

For now, you're lucky I'm around.

Huh?

Is that the time?

Ballet today, was it?

Yup, I've got a recital coming up.

I'm dancing La Péri. I get to wear a tutu and everything.

I'll go see it with your mom.

Is Shigeki going?

...No. I don't think Dad can come. He seems really busy with work.

Oh.

Oh dear... What a terrible situation.

I'll pay rent and everything...

Come now, don't worry about that, Akira!

We're family.

What are you doing, Misao? Come in here!

This is Akira. He's moving into the apartment behind our house.

He's my uncle, though age-wise he's really more of a little brother...

An earthquake?

You okay?

Greetings! It's me, Akizuki from Eibin Electronics Ltd.!

The agreed-upon hour is upon us! Wowee, did you feel that just now?

It was like Mt. Fuji itself erupted!

What in the world?!

A variation on the missionary position...

THE LIFTED HIPS The Lifted Hips!

I can't believe the guy we brought in for such an important job

is harboring this level of sexual deviancy...

How old can the girl be?!

Give me a full-chested woman any day! Someone like that foreign actress Isabelle Adjani.

But no, no, there's nobody else we could get to take on such a difficult assignment.

There's nothing for it — I have to put aside common decency and pretend I didn't see anything at all.

Open up! Please open up! There's nothing for it — I have to put aside common decency and pretend I didn't see anything at all.

Open up! Please open up!

I must remember, we're dealing with extralegal measures here.

EXTRALEGAL MEASURES

I should swallow my feelings and put the security of the company ahead of the life of one poor, unfortunate girl...

Agghhh, this is terrible, I'm the worst.

Just a terrible, pathetic salaryman...

My parents back home...

My ex-wife...

My son who went to live with my ex-wife...

They're laughing at my pitiful choice. Go ahead and laugh!

I've decided I didn't see anything.

Now then, Shirase-sensei.

And un, deux trois, un, deux, trois,

Un, deux, trois, un, deux, trois,

Teito East Transport

prized supercomputer went missing last month

while en route to America.

Then, last week, we received a threatening email

from a mysterious organization calling themselves "Kyaratech".

Here.

Hmm...

Re: Blackmail

Wa ha ha ha!

You can call me the King of America.

I'm the boss of Kyaratech and I've taken possession of your precious supercomputer.

Y'know, I was just looking for one of these!

I ordered one from your company, but it had an initial failure. No fair!

I got super mad and now I'm going to use this computer to commit all kinds of atrocities in your name.

I'll make a bunch of viruses like ILOVEYOU to torment people.

If you don't want that, reissue the cancelled X68 series!

Love, the King of America.

What is this?

Blackmail is what it is!

I kinda want you to reissue that series too.

Who'd buy such an outdated piece of hardware?

Pretty sure I would.

Anyway. What am I supposed to do?

I'm sorry for not mentioning this earlier,

but the deadline for this job is today.

We need you to prevent our hardware

being used for criminal purposes.

In other words, we want you to

deal with the supercomputer in any way necessary.

This is crazy.

I'm just a freelance programmer,

not some kind of detective.

Please do what you can.

Ah, I can see our Makuhari Tokyo branch up ahead.

We're nearly there!

Aaarrrggh!

Looks like it blew up.

Ahhh, our building!

The Eibin Electronics Ltd. Makuhari Tokyo branch building!

Their network was probably infected by a program that made their hardware explode.

Some people call them "parasite bombs".

I just call 'em hand grenades.

Can you...

Can you really cause something like this with a computer virus?

Well, you could probably program a power surge in the electricity supply,

and cause a fire in the gas pipes or the fuel in the cars in the parking garage...

This was really nicely done, though.

You don't accomplish something like that without exceptional planning.

Our beautiful products...

...Were probably used in the attack.

No no no no! This is terrible!

Hello?

Yes, it blew up right in front of me.

Um, sorry, what was that?

Please speak up!

I can't hear you!

Wow, that's the latest model of fire truck! So cool!

Ooh, and a German-made ambulance! Woo!

Shirase-sensei!

'Sup?

Luckily, today's Saturday so nobody was hurt.

That's good.

Head office in Osaka got hit too,

though not quite as badly as this.

Bummer.

You could at least try to show concern...

You must be insured, right?

That's not the issue here!

If the same thing's happened at our overseas branches...

that would be terrible!

I was really hoping to ask them for help,

but I can't do that now.

I really wish I had a laptop...

You didn't bring one, did you?

No laptop, sorry.

For now, let's stop the infection.

What kind of cellphone is that?

Can I borrow it a sec?

Oh, it's an i-mode.

Thanks.

Wh-Who are you calling?

I'm directly accessing my server at home.

Using it as a backup.

Oh...Okay...

More overtime, is it, Mr. Oze?

Those clowns in Marketing have sent me more ridiculous requests.

It's the worst.

Don't work too hard, y'hear?

You too, buddy.

See ya.

Hehe, they must be pretty frantic at head office by now. They had it coming.

Let's take out the factory at Nara next.

Lotta bad memories associated with that place.

Then someday, I'll destroy Tokyo and make Nagoya the capital of Japan!

Wa ha ha ha!

Huh? Someone's jamming me!

Who?

Who's jamming my perfect program?

Nothing for it, I'll have to activate Etchan 1!

It's started.

What are you doing?

I'm making a defense program that operates

with greater processing speed than the attack.

Can you really do that?

Maybe.

What does "maybe" mean?!

It means I'm lying.

Oh wait, no, I just did it. Here we go.

Who does this guy think he is?

He's suddenly nothing but a pain in the butt.

It's too slow doing this remotely!

I need to get home and do it directly.

Whaaat?! The infection's been neutralized?

What kind of high-spec machine is this guy using?

Nothing to do with the hardware, buddy.

Um...who are you talking to?

I can tell what he's thinking by reading between the lines of his code.

Y-You can?

Meh, who knows.

Arrgh! I know there's no computer in the world more powerful than my Etchan 1!

Did they hire an outside hacker?

Noticed me, have you?

This is the most powerful firewall I've ever seen!

Not only is the script written perfectly,

but the speed with which it's being executed

is far beyond human capability!

Whatever attacks I throw at it, it responds

like it already knew what I was planning!

Unbelievable!

Believe it.

Okay, I think we're almost done here.

Special Move! Double Compile!

Hiiiilyaaaa!

Not that there's any need for that.

Boop.

In that moment, it was as if BPS's mind

and the i-mode cellphone were linked.

Using superior speed and parsing power

to block the opponent's attacks,

he was always one step ahead, using

parallel development, parallel compiling

and parallel linking. This high-speed strategy is known as...

Double Compile.

No way!

Etchan 1's at the limit of its processing ability!

The cooling system can't keep up!

This can't be happening!

What kind of guy...

No, what kind of organization...

Who are you?

See you soon, Akechi.

From BPS.

BPS. So that's my opponent's name.

This is great!

How delightful, "BPS"!

I can tell we're gonna have tons of fun!

It's done.

You're finished?

Agh, that's hot! Ow ow ow ow!

That supercomputer of yours shouldn't be able to cause any more harm.

But what about the perpetrator?

What about our computer?

I dunno. My work here is done.

Hey, Akizuki. Is this the way to the station?

Phew-ee, I'm pooped.

Welcome back, Onii-chan!

Oh, hey Misao-chan.

I made dinner!

Thanks.

Did you finish work already?

Mm, yeah.

What do you do again?

Computer stuff.

Don't you think you should get a real job?

You went through all that trouble to get into university,

you should actually bother to graduate.

Hey, Misao-chan.

I gotta get home for dinner.

Bye-bye Onii-chan!

Lalalalalalalalalalalala

Our love is pure enough that when our eyes meet

A miracle is born

It may not be special but it's comfortable

That's the harmony I'm going to play

A starry night, a blue glimmer

crosses eternity to meet me

Lonely nights, I take the very meaning of my pain

and I melt it inside my heart

Ah, I want you here more than anyone else

A warm realization

Seize the moment!

Don't be shy, release your true feelings

I love you more and more, whether we're near or far

Our rhythm beats as one

New but also familiar

That's the melody I'll keep singing

Next time:

A ship carrying a cargo of reprocessed plutonium runs aground.

But this is no accident — Kyaratech is behind it.

And what of the mysterious organization targeting it?

I'm wearing my swimsuit underneath. Ta-da!

A crisis involving BPS, Misao and white school swimsuits.

Are you up to it, BPS?

Sea! Summer! The season of love!

Tropical BPS! School swimsuit seaside shenanigans! Misao in peril!
