Wow, how fun was that?

Circuits are such a blast, huh?

Mm. A blast.

We used up so much battery.

We drove a ton.

If only we had another bike, I could have raced you, Airi.

A child-sized bike, that is.

Like I'd lose to you, Yoko.

How dare you!

Let's come back for a run!

Yeah!

- Wait. - Wait.

Wait.

What?

What's wrong?

Um, no, I just kind of thought...

"Collection Hall"?

You think it might be like a bike museum?

Looks cool!

Let's stop by!

TOURING AFTER THE APOCALYPSE

#09 MOBILITY RESORT MOTEGI

Three, two...

It's opening!

Excuse us! Coming in!

Excuse us.

It's too dark to see anything, huh?

Oh!

Yoko?

Over here...

...there's something.

I can feel it.

A robot?

He looks a little like Schwar-chan, maybe?

This one's an older model,

and unlike Schwar-chan, he's not a cyborg.

He's a regular robot.

Is that right?

Is this the electrical room?

You think the lights will go on?

No way will they go on.

ON

OFF

You never know 'til you try!

Three, two—

Whoa!

B-Big surprise!

Ugh...

But, hey, the lights are on!

Are there solar panels or maybe a generator,

like at the Akiba Broadcast Station?

Wow! So this is what it looks like!

Yoko, you knew where the electrical room was?

Huh? Why do you ask?

Wow!

Look at that! It's an exhibit showing robots throughout history!

They're too adorable!

Well, not as adorable as me.

G-Good afternoon.

Whoa!

Huh? Oh!

TUG

Th-The robot we just saw?

Y-Y-You can move?

One surprise after another.

I am the guide for this museum.

My name is ISAAQ.

Guide?

ISAAQ.

Welcome to the Collection Hall.

Did I wake him up when I turned on the lights?

He might have just run out of battery.

I have been waiting for you for a long time.

H-Hello! I'm Yoko.

And I'm Airi.

Yoko.

Airi.

Identity recognized.

You said you were a guide, right?

Does that mean that you'll show us around this place?

But of course.

You may count on me, ISAAQ, for that.

ISAAQ? Then we should call you I-chan, huh?

It's similar to "Airi," but nice to meet you, I-chan!

I-chan...

Hey, this is incredible!

Wow...

I've never actually seen this many bikes at once!

It's like we're at the motorcycle show

that we didn't get to see at the Big Sight!

At the Honda Collection Hall, we have more than 170 vehicles on display.

Exhibits range from four-wheel and two-wheel vehicles

to power products, robotics, and even jet aircraft.

The collection features products from 1947 onward.

You will see not only consumer models but also racers and other vehicles.

There are lots of bikes in shapes I've never seen before.

Hey, I-chan, can I try straddling one?

Please refrain from touching the exhibits...

is what I'd normally say.

But you are our first guests in a long time,

so I'll make an exception.

All right!

AH HA HA...

I can't see in front of me.

You've been buried!

THIS IS HUGE...

This is huge!

Easy-peasy.

It's like a mini-Serow!

Even I can handle this one!

This exhibit showcases racing machines

that actually participated in international races.

They all look so fast.

So cool.

You will also get to see the legendary F1 Grand Prix

and MotoGP machines that defined their eras.

Wow!

Hey...

2001 model, NSR500.

That same year, with Valentino Rossi on board,

this racer reached number one in the world.

Number one in the world?

Amazing.

It is the most radical and aggressive vehicle on display here.

It must have been so awesome to ride the circuit on this machine!

I wonder what the engine sounds like?

- Would you like to try it out? - What?

It will run.

Really?

At the Honda Collection Hall,

the vehicles we store are preserved with cutting-edge techniques.

P-Preserved?

He means they're on display in an operational state.

What? Then this one moves, too?

I'd love to go for a ride!

That said, it is in need of service.

- Can you take care of that, I-chan? - Yes.

ISAAQs are versatile, general-purpose robots.

We know every inch of this circuit, and we also perform maintenance tasks.

Then—

- However... - Huh?

I myself am the only operational ISAAQ.

Normally, this job would take multiple units.

All right!

PULL

In that case, let's do it together!

Show us what to do! I-chan!

Y-Yeah.

Okay, which one do you want, Airi?

That little one that you just rode?

I couldn't beat you on that.

But your feet wouldn't reach the pedals on the others,

and you wouldn't be able to see in a car, right?

I do have an idea.

What is it?

That's a secret.

Huh?

Oh...

Yoko?

Hey, I-chan...

Yes?

Is there anyone else here besides us?

No. No one has been here for a long time.

I see.

Was I just imagining things, then?

The maintenance booth is downstairs.

Let's move the vehicle there.

This tire's brand-new, but it's totally smooth!

It's not like it's worn down.

It's a slick tire, designed for circuit use only.

I-chan, is this the fuel we're supposed to use?

That's a valuable alternative gasoline meant for long-term storage.

STINKY

It stinks!

Is it really viable?

It should still be all right.

SNATCH

All right! Let's do this!

Yeah!

Yes.

AIRI, PLEASE CHECK THE TANK

LIGHT

LEAVE IT TO ME

CLICK CLICK

SIGH

NOD NOD...

Is that a racing model? So jealous!

And the ISAAQs are servicing it?

They're pulling out all the stops for an event!

All right, I'm gonna burn some rubber!

Go for it.

But don't overdo it.

Okay, I'm heading out now, I-chan!

Right. Please be careful.

I-chan...

Yoko, wake up.

Yoko!

Huh?

What? It's morning already?

It's way past noon now.

Huh? What?

What the...

We finished servicing the bike, so we took it over to the circuit.

You're done?

Sorry, I totally crashed.

I-chan says to change into this.

This?

HEY, SO COOL—

Hey, so cool!

SHING!

I'm cool, too!

I love it!

I'm so pumped up now!

It's the one Big Sis was wearing!

Everything's all set up, so let's get to the course.

All right, then, I-chan, whenever you're ready!

Right.

Whoa!

GRAB

It started!

That's good to hear.

Yeah.

Wow! How loud is this?

I'm not sleepy at all anymore!

The gasoline is exploding. I can feel it.

So this is a gasoline engine.

Nothing like an electric motor!

It's like it's synced up with the pounding of my heart!

Yoko, don't overdo it.

Please be as cautious as you can until you're used to it.

This bike is capable of extraordinary things.

Roger that!

Okay, I'm taking off, then, I-chan!

Right. Please be careful.

Try not to fall, okay?

You don't have to tell me that!

All right...

here I go! Whoa!

- Oh— - Oh—

Whoa, whoa...

Ugh! Talk about a heart attack!

Well, I guess she'll be fine.

She's Yoko, after all.

Hey, it's accelerating like crazy!

It's like the bike is kicking me from behind!

Oh, boy, the ground seems so close!

If I lose focus for even a second, I'll be blasted away!

This is unbelievable.

But, yeah, it's a demanding task!

This one is also ready to go.

I-chan, hold on to this for me.

Taking off!

Please be careful.

I-I get it now.

It's totally like an unruly horse, but I'm starting to get it.

This bike is so much fun!

There she is.

Sorry to keep you waiting, Yoko.

Airi?

What? Is that you in the car, Airi?

Heh heh. Yoko's startled.

Who could blame her?

But you said you couldn't reach the pedals

and you couldn't see in that racing car!

I'm not in the car.

I'm watching the footage from the camera on the car

and driving it with the game controller it's linked to.

An idea I-chan and I came up with so even a small person could drive.

It feels like a game, and it's fun!

Huh? I didn't know you could do that!

I wanna drive it, too!

Excuse me.

Huh? Hey!

You can't beat me!

This sound.

This smell.

This vibe.

The circuit...

is coming back to life.

Why, you...

I'm not letting you go ahead of me!

I can't be beaten.

Not done yet!

Everybody...

can you hear this?

- Yes. - Of course.

I can hear it.

I can hear it, okay?

Who knew that we'd see a day like this again?

It brings back memories.

The smell of gasoline and burnt rubber!

Yeah. It's amazing!

What a blast, huh, Airi?

It's a blast!

They're really racing!

This is it.

This is the sound we've wanted to hear.

Huh?

Robots?

Huh? What?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Hey! Hold up!

Whoa!

Yoko, are you all right?

I tried push-starting it, but the engine still wouldn't turn over.

My car stopped running, too.

Maybe because of that old gasoline.

We only got to race once, huh?

Good job.

I was so flustered, I overran the track.

Who would have thought all those bikes and cars would suddenly show up, right?

They were so beautiful, glittering like that.

I wonder what that was all about?

What are you talking about?

You know!

Remember how they all overtook us on that final straight?

You, too.

I don't know anything about that.

I was right behind you, but I never saw that.

Huh? You're kidding, right?

There were a lot of them, remember?

Oh, right!

There were all these robots in the stands cheering us...

Huh?

Yoko, you must have been dreaming again.

Dreaming?

You did pull an all-nighter. You were asleep at the wheel.

No, I wasn't!

I was totally awake, and it wasn't like my usual dreams.

But you were acting strange even when you were awake.

Ever since you entered the Collection Hall.

Actually, maybe ever since you got here.

You saw it, too, didn't you, I-chan?

Were those your friends in the stands?

There were other operational robots, too, right?

Hey, I-chan, are you listening?

TAP

Oh...

I-I-chan!

So? Can you fix him?

If his battery's dead, should we connect him to the Serow?

Hmm. I don't think so.

It's not that kind of problem.

What do you mean?

He's broken on the inside.

It's been years since he was last operational.

That's what it seems like.

N-No way.

I mean, just a second ago...

I don't understand.

I have no idea what happened.

Does this mean that I had a dream, too?

My hands are still trembling from the bike's vibrations.

It wasn't a dream.

It wasn't a dream, but...

Fireflies again?

I thought you were a nameless flower

Always shivering by my side

Whenever I complained

You would gently scold me

What a strange night

A rainy morning

Where did you come from?

Where are you going?

Your hair sways in the twilight

One day, I'll touch it

I-chan?

I didn't think it was enough

It's all right here

Beyond my memories

You're blooming

Still unmatched

You're still gazing at me as I walk

Maybe people aren't the only ones with souls.

What do you mean?

Yoko, did you figure out what souls are?

No, I have no idea.

But...

They might have made it come true, my dream.

The dream that I thought I'd lost

I dusted it off

Even if tomorrow doesn't go my way

As long as I live with love

Someday, it will scatter away

My faded past

I'm still living with uncertainty

Light the way for me

Beyond my memories

You smile

I'm still running awkwardly

Keep watching me
