Story Summary[]

On a severely polluted planet that was ravaged by a great war, a prince and his servant eke out a lonely and meagre existence in a shelter in the middle of a desolate wasteland.

Though their access to the outside world has to be strictly regulated due to the harsh environment and they have very limited communication with other survivors, the prince hopes that by growing new plants they can somehow rejuvenate the devastated land.

Main cast:
Ai Mikaze as Prince Ai
Syo Kurusu as Servant Syo

Episode 1

Ai Mikaze: "Syo, what in the world are you hiding from me?" This is the end of the scene. We are at a good stopping point, so I suggest taking a break.

Syo Kurusu: Nice job! I've got a grip on my role for the movie, but man, these lines are long. Most of my dialogue is with your prince character, so I sound weirdly polite.

Ai Mikaze: You play my servant, so it is only to be expected. As your real-life senior, I would not object to more shows of respect. It is never too late to start, right?

Syo Kurusu: Huh?! Uh, yeah, that's true. But talking' to you like this is way easier. It'd be awkward if I changed it up now.

Ai Mikaze: I was joking. Tone aside, I believe you and your character are very similar at heart, Syo. Why not cherish that connection and bring it to your performance?

Syo Kurusu: You're right. Thanks a lot! As I was reading the script, there were a lot of times when I thought I'd totally do the same thing.

Syo Kurusu: The prince seems indifferent at first, but he's actually always thinking about others and giving his all for them. That reminds me of you, Ai.

Ai Mikaze: I simply always consider my best course of action.

Ai Mikaze: I appreciate the way the two of us can openly discuss our opinions with each other. Let us maximize this advantage to create an astounding film.

Syo Kurusu: Yeah! We ARE pretty much the only actors, after all. Let's team up and show 'em what we've got!

Episode 2

Prince Ai: All right, I have mixed the topsoil with a superabsorbent polymer. Now I will take care of this next row as well. Hopefully the plants will take root this time.

Servant Syo: Prince, you said you would return soon, correct? That was five minutes ago. It has been twenty-one since you left the shelter. Please wrap things up.

Prince Ai: Wait, Syo. I just need a little longer. I have already planted today's portion, so I would like to use the remaining time to experiment with soil enhancement.

Servant Syo: You have no such luxury. Please stop behaving like a child and come inside!

Servant Syo: How many times must I explain? The atmosphere outside the shelter is polluted. Breathing it in for more than thirty minutes will endanger your life, my prince.

Prince Ai: On that note, only twenty-one minutes have passed, correct? It will take me nine minutes to quickly finish my work and return inside. No, less than five.

Servant Syo: Such logic fails when you are in deep concentration. I have been watching over you since you were an infant, so I do wish you would not underestimate me.

Prince Ai: ............

Servant Syo: That face will not work on me. You are the last hope for the people of this ruined planet. I implore you not to forget that.

Servant Syo: As per your command, I remained on standby within the shelter while you worked outside. However, it may be best that I accompany you from now on.

Episode 3

Prince Ai: "Non-royals cannot bear the polluted atmosphere for more than five minutes." Weren't you the one who told me that? Do not suggest such recklessness.

Servant Syo: If you understand, then I am satisfied. Well then, you will put more effort into easing my anxiety from now on, won't you? What is your answer, my prince?

Prince Ai: There is a message from Shelter 17! The reception has been poor lately, so it has been some time. Can we continue this later?

Servant Syo: *Sigh* I understand. Well then, please excuse me. As always, do share the details of the message in a report later.

Prince Ai: (The mic is on, and noise cancelling is set to max. Should I fix my bangs while I wait? I may not be able to send video, but it is the thought that counts.)

Prince Ai: Hello? This is Shelter 3. Can you hear me? This is Ai of Shelter 3. Did it connect? Hello.

Prince Ai: How is everyone at Shelter 17? It is the same as always here. My teacher lectures me, and I do my best to return life to this planet.

Prince Ai: You are very welcome. Fortunately, we have the proper research facilities here. I believe I have been given the vital and challenging duty of reforestation.

Prince Ai: What has happened since your last message? I still have some time before class, so I wish to hear everything.

Episode 4

Servant Syo: Ever since the interstellar war that destroyed this planet ten-odd years ago, the air has been contaminated. Those few who survived cannot visit one another.

Servant Syo: Self-sufficiency is possible within the shelters, but aside from members of the royal family, people cannot survive outside for more than five minutes a day.

Servant Syo: In other words, travel is currently impossible, and any exchange is limited to the few shelters with communications systems.

Prince Ai: "Furthermore, that system is not perfect. Air pollution interrupts the radio waves, making it very unstable. Even when connected, static is an ongoing issue."

Prince Ai: "Revitalizing long-lost plants in the outside world is our only hope of purifying the air. It is an issue we should continue to combat." Correct?

Prince Ai: I am tired of hearing the same old story. Who knows how many times I have read these massive reports? I memorized them long ago.

Servant Syo: ............
It may seem boring to you, Prince, but by continuing to review them like this...

Prince Ai: I know. I wish to meet other people someday as well. That is why I plant seedlings day after day, no matter how often they wilt.

Servant Syo: You are quite right. I am well aware of your tireless efforts, my prince. I apologize for having only harsh words for you.

Prince Ai: Syo?

Episode 5

Servant Syo: The dispatch location and time are set. He'll be busy with his usual outdoor activities, but I'm sure he'll come back if he gets a message from "Shelter 17."

Servant Syo: Even so, I wonder how long I can keep up this charade. Prince?! How long have you been standing there?

Prince Ai: Only a few moments. I came to pick up growth vitalizer for the seedlings. I stopped using this one for a while when I was trying a new approach.

Prince Ai: There it is. We have run out of the other, so I thought I would try using this for now. By the way, what are you doing here, Syo?

Servant Syo: I was...simply summarizing my findings from our lesson today, Prince.

Servant Syo: Doing so will prepare us for the day when we may travel between shelters, wouldn't you agree?

Prince Ai: Yes. I am certain that day will come.

Servant Syo: Prince?

Prince Ai: I am truly thankful you are with me in this shelter, Syo. I am going to check on the seedlings I planted yesterday.

Servant Syo: Did he notice? No, he couldn't have.

Episode 6

Prince Ai: (The screen Syo was looking at just now was the same system I use to communicate with other shelters.)

Prince Ai: Plus, he said "charade." Could it be that the person I have been talking to this entire time was...)

Prince Ai: ("The polluted atmosphere has divided humanity, but if we can revitalize the land and purify the air, we may be able to reunite someday.")

Prince Ai: (I accepted his teachings without question and thought that I understood everything. However, Syo is hiding something from me.)

Prince Ai: (What is the truth of this world? I probably do not know anything, but even that I cannot prove.)

Prince Ai: (After all, Syo is probably the only person I know.)

Prince Ai: ............

Prince Ai: (I will plant new seedlings. That is all I can do right now, even if there is no hope left on this entire planet.)

Episode 7

Prince Ai: (These seedlings have wilted and failed to take root as well. I am sorry. You finally sprouted, but this cruel environment would not allow you to thrive.)

Prince Ai: (Perhaps this is all for nothing. If Syo and I are truly the only survivors on this desert planet, there is no point in leaving the shelter.)

Servant Syo: Prince? Prince, whatever is the matter? You only have ten minutes left.

Prince Ai: Syo, why are you here? It is nothing. I have finished my work for the day, so let us return to the shelter.

Servant Syo: I contacted you repeatedly and received no reply, yet you say all is fine. Are you certain you are not ill in some way?

Prince Ai: I said it is nothing. You do not trust me at all, do you, Syo? Why? Because I am a child?

Servant Syo: I am simply concerned for your welfare! You openly discuss trivial matters but fall silent when talk turns serious.

Prince Ai: Syo, are you not the same way? If you wish to know my heart, then spill your secrets first!

Servant Syo: That's... *Cough* *Cough*

Prince Ai: Oh no, the time limit! Syo, grab my shoulder. We must hurry to the shelter!

Episode 8

Prince Ai: Syo, what are you doing? I just said last night that I will handle our meals for the time being. Lie there and rest.

Servant Syo: My apologies, Prince. I hardly deserve such kindness, but I shall do as you say.

Servant Syo: (The prince has volunteered to take on a lot now that I'm laid up in bed. My body is exhausted, but perhaps this has been good for him.)

Servant Syo: My biggest problem now is the sudden lack of communication from other shelters. He tried to grill me the other day. I guess I can't hide it anymore.)

Servant Syo: Prince, do you have some time before we eat? I have something important I wish to discuss. The truth is...

Prince Ai: If we are being open, I would like to say something, too. Syo, ever since you collapsed, I have been thinking. About my dream. No, about my goal for the future.

Prince Ai: I promise to fill this world with greenery once more and see its many sights with you. My heart is set on that.

Prince Ai: I wish to start with that "oasis" you told me about. Well? A great dream, is it not? I refuse to give up, so stay by my side and teach me all sorts of things.

Servant Syo: ............
Yes, Prince. I will follow wherever you go.

Episode 9

Prince Ai: It has been about a week since I ventured outside. Syo seems to have finally recovered, but I wonder how the seedlings are faring.

Prince Ai: This one is no good. These are wilted as well. I thought this might happen, but it is still a shock. I had hoped at least one would survive by now.

Prince Ai: Getting upset will solve nothing. I shall start anew. If I continue my research, I will someday produce a seed that can withstand even this environment.

Prince Ai: Well then, I suppose I will head back to the shelter early today. I would not want Syo to grow worried and come running out. Huh?

Servant Syo: The prince left the shelter eighteen minutes ago. He hasn't been out in a while, so I bet he's focused on his work. I better send a message urging him back.

Prince Ai: Syo, can you hear me?!

Servant Syo: Prince? It's rare for you to contact me first. Wait, is there some sort of trouble?!

Prince Ai: The seedlings! One of the seedlings I planted a week ago didn't wilt!

Servant Syo: Really?! I'm coming right now! Please permit me just this once. I ask that you do not try to stop me.

Prince Ai: Understood. I am waiting by the shelter entrance, so come quickly! However, you are only staying out for a moment

Episode 10

Servant Syo: The green leaves seem healthy, the roots are spreading, and it is absorbing water. Congratulations, Prince! You've finally done it!

Prince Ai: It is all thanks to you, Syo. Despite my many failures, I was able to carry on because of the hope you gave me. You watered my dreams and kept them alive.

Servant Syo: Prince, you...

Prince Ai: Look, though still small, there is a flower bud. It is starting to open up a bit. Let us check on it again tomorrow. Hmm?

Prince Ai: It bloomed?! I see it all the time in the shelter's research lab, but it is somehow so beautiful.

Servant Syo: It means this planet is alive. I never imagined I would witness such a sight again. It is all because of you, Prince. Thank you.

Prince Ai: Was that sound just now a message from a shelter? Was that you, Syo?

Servant Syo: No, it wasn't me. Could it be an actual incoming message?! There's no way.

Prince Ai: No, I am certain it is real! Like us, other survivors have most likely been searching for people like them.

Prince Ai: Let us go, Syo! There is still hope for this world.
