Episode 148: "A New Time War? Farewell is Also Rebirth, The Doctor's Final Lie' begins."
[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "So, Jamie's mom was Nancy all along." ]
[ .....]
『 After all, in this era, an unmarried pregnant woman would be subjected to endless scorn. Nancy dared not tell anyone the truth, including Jamie himself.
Just then,
The sound of exploding shells suddenly echoed around them. Jack, who was nearby, quickly urged the Doctor, saying they were running out of time.
At this moment, the Doctor's eyes were still fixed on Nancy, but he mumbled to Jack,
"You do your thing."
"Jack?" Rose hadn't quite processed what was happening.
But Jack didn't explain much; he showed everything through his actions.
At this critical juncture,
Jamie was also approaching them.
The Doctor quickly told Nancy that if she didn't reveal the answer to that question soon, Jimmy would keep pressing, and the future of all humanity was in his hands.
Jamie: "Are you my mom?"
Nancy: "Yes, yes, that's right, I am your mom."
Jamie: "Mom?"
Nancy: "Mommy's here."
Jamie: "Are you my mom?"
Nancy: "Yes."
Jamie: "Are you my mom?"
Nancy: "Yes."
Watching this scene, the Doctor also began to explain to Rose.
"He can no longer understand, because his body has long since dwindled to almost nothing."
Immediately after, Nancy looked affectionately at the young Jamie in front of her.
Nancy: "I am your mom."
Nancy: "I will always be your mom."
Nancy: "I'm really very sorry."
As she spoke, Nancy stood up and embraced little Jamie's body.
Nancy: "I'm truly, truly sorry." 』

[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "!!" ]
[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "They, they just hugged each other?" ]
[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "They won't turn into that, will they?" ]
[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "I... I'm a little scared to watch." ]
[ Chika Fujiwara (Love Is War): "+ 1+ 1+ 1" ]
[ .....]
『 And then, suddenly, at this moment,
Just as Nancy was tightly hugging Jamie,
A large expanse of golden light suddenly shone around them.
Everyone immediately recognized it as the healing nanogenes they had seen before. 』
『 .....』
〜Dimensional livestream, Chat Room〜
[ Chika Fujiwara (Love Is War): "This isn't the nanogenes from before? Why are they appearing again?" ]
[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "Could it be that they're coming to convert Nancy?" ]
[ March 7th (Honkai: Star Rail): "No, no way?" ]
[ .....]
『 "What on earth is going on?" Rose asked the Doctor, utterly bewildered.
Just then, Jamie, nestled in his mother's arms, suddenly let go of Nancy.
For a moment, everyone was a little confused, not knowing what had happened.
But the Doctor seemed to have a sudden realization.
"Come here, good boy,"
"Let your old man relax for a bit."
"Let me see your little face, properly."
Then, he slowly stepped forward,
Carefully removing the gas mask from Jamie's face.
As the mask came off,
What appeared before everyone's eyes,
It was a bewildered little Jamie.
He was looking curiously at the Doctor who had helped him remove his mask.
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Even the Doctor was so excited that he picked Jamie up directly.
"Welcome back!"
"You'll find pop music twenty years from now is amazing!"
The Doctor excitedly told Jamie. 』

[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "Wha, what happened?" ]
[ Haibara Ai (Detective Conan): "The patient, recovered?" ]
[ Shizuka Hiratsuka (Oregairu): "Was it that golden light just now? Did the nanogenes come to heal again?" ]
[ .....]
『 Soon, the screen provided the answer:
It turned out that Nancy's password had adjusted the nanogene program,
Now they considered the male life state as the normal mode.
Just as everyone was celebrating, a huge bomb fell as scheduled.
At the moment of crisis,
Jack, who had left earlier, appeared in his spaceship just in time, catching the large bomb with a capture device.
Jack, sitting on the bomb, shouted:
"Doctor!"
"Well done, lad!" the Doctor responded excitedly.
"The bomb's about to detonate!" Jack explained the situation: "I've frozen it, but it won't hold for long."
"The plan has changed; we don't need this bomb now."
"Can you dispose of it? As safely as possible~."
"Jack!?" Rose looked at Jack with the bomb in surprise.
"Goodbye!" Jack said, then disappeared from everyone's sight.
Then, the spaceship he was piloting also quickly departed.
After the spaceship disappeared, the Doctor began to wiggle his fingers, summoning the surrounding nanogenes,
And patching their programs.
The Doctor on screen summoned all the surrounding golden light to his side.
After applying the appropriate healing patches,
He then waved all the tiny gene particles towards the distant crowd.
Before long,
Under these precise gene treatments, everyone gradually recovered their health. 』

[ Chika Fujiwara (Love Is War): "!!" ]
[ Chika Fujiwara (Love Is War): "Yay! Everyone has finally returned to normal!" ]
[ Haibara Ai (Detective Conan): "This incident, caused by a medical accident, has finally been resolved." ]
[ March 7th (Honkai: Star Rail): "But why did the nanogenes return to normal after the two people hugged?" ]
[ The Herta (Honkai: Star Rail): "Presumably, because Jamie and Nancy are mother and son, their genes are also the same." ]
[ The Herta (Honkai: Star Rail): "After detecting and comparing the information, the nanogenes chose to use Nancy's genes as the case for normal people." ]
[ Shinomiya Kaguya (Love Is War): "That explanation makes sense." ]
[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "Hehehe, now everyone is happy." ]
[ .....]
『 Looking at everything before him, the Doctor cried out excitedly:
"Everyone made it! Rose!!"
"Finally, finally, one success!!!"
"Everyone is alive and well!!!" 』
『 .....』
〜Dimensional livestream, Chat Room〜
[ Chika Fujiwara (Love Is War): "That's great, this time there really were no casualties." ]
[ Shizuka Hiratsuka (Oregairu): "Clearly, in those previous times, there were always some casualties, but this time, it's a true happy ending." ]
[ Haibara Ai (Detective Conan): "Although, in this era of war, everything is so cruel." ]
[ Haibara Ai (Detective Conan): "But at least, in the Doctor's story this time, it's also..." ]
[ Xingqiu (Genshin Impact): "Indeed, a happy ending is the best outcome." ]
[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "And, unexpectedly, this time it was due to a medical nanorobot's identification error." ]
[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "Before, I thought it was some other evil entity infecting them." ]
[ .....]
『 The former patients, under the proper repair of the tiny genes, successfully returned to their normal appearance.
At this moment, the Doctor walked towards a person,
The old doctor who would never abandon his patients and flee alone.
After all, the world wasn't ready to lose him yet.
"Each of them looks like they're in an abandoned train station?"
"Excuse me, is there any special significance to doing this?"
The recovered old doctor asked the Doctor.
"Hmm, as you can imagine, things like budget constraints and so on," the Doctor explained the reason with a smile.
At this moment, the problem was solved,
And the Doctor and his companions should leave.
But before they left, to fit the development of this history,
There still had to be an explosion here.
So, he set the medical transport plane to self-destruct mode, which would activate after everyone evacuated. 』

[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "To, to comply with the history here, there has to be an explosion?" ]
[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "Why, why is that?" ]
[ The Herta (Honkai: Star Rail): "Perhaps, they're still afraid of a time paradox-related issue, like before?" ]
[ Haibara Ai (Detective Conan): "Historical events are not allowed to be changed, but can they be covered up by another identical event?" ]
[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "It seems that way, yeah. Wasn't it the same when Rose's dad said goodbye and then died?" ]
[ .....]
『 The scene shifts,
After the Doctor returned to the TARDIS, he felt particularly satisfied, as everyone had managed to complete the mission safely this time.
But Rose suddenly remembered what Jack had meant when he said goodbye.
At these words, the Doctor fell silent.
Jack was now drifting in space, intending to drop the bomb in a habitable area, but found that the bomb would explode if he moved it.
To make matters worse, his spaceship had no escape pod. Jack was helpless; he could only quietly sip a bottle of vintage wine, waiting for his final moments. 』
『 .....』
〜Dimensional livestream, Chat Room〜
[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "Wha, what! Jack's in danger?" ]
[ March 7th (Honkai: Star Rail): "No wonder, he said goodbye like that before. Did he already know this would happen?" ]
[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "Yeah." ]
[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "I didn't expect that the casualty this time might be Jack." ]
[ Chika Fujiwara (Love Is War): "Doctor? Doctor, hurry and save him!" ]
[ .....]
『 Just at this critical moment,
A voice full of hope came from behind. 』
『 .....』
〜Dimensional livestream, Chat Room〜
[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "Wait, that voice is!" ]
[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "That's great!" ]
[ Shizuka Hiratsuka (Oregairu): "Sure enough, in the end, it still depends on the Doctor to solve everything." ]
[ The Herta (Honkai: Star Rail): "This thing is really amazing." ]
[ Chika Fujiwara (Love Is War): "That's great!" ]
[ Chika Fujiwara (Love Is War): "The TARDIS is here, and then it can take Jack away." ]
[ Haibara Ai (Detective Conan): "Then, this time it's truly and genuinely..." ]
[ Haibara Ai (Detective Conan): "A zero-casualty operation." ]
[ .....]
『 It was the TARDIS!
The Doctor piloted the TARDIS directly towards Jack's spaceship.
The door opened, and Jack turned his head to see,
Not far away, in the blue police box, the Doctor and Rose were dancing gracefully.
Rose kept shouting to Jack:
"Come here!"
Hearing this, Jack quickly got up and walked towards the TARDIS.
Upon entering, he, like those before him, was astonished by the sight.
He couldn't believe that this small box was actually a dimension unto itself.
"Welcome to my TARDIS," the Doctor greeted Jack.
"It really is bigger on the inside," Jack murmured, looking around.
"Of course," the Doctor said, and immediately prepared to start the TARDIS to leave.
Rose also smiled at Jack and said:
"I think the Doctor is welcoming you, too?"
Rose extended a welcoming hand to Jack.
The two exchanged smiles and held hands.
Just then,
The Doctor, who was operating the TARDIS, suddenly had a realization.
He turned to Rose,
"Rose, I remember!"
"Remember what?" Rose looked puzzled.
Music softly began to play,
Accompanied by the hum of the TARDIS,
The Doctor snapped his fingers and excitedly began to dance,
"I can dance!"
"I can dance!"
"Doctor, I think Jack might want to dance this dance too." Rose stepped aside, fully revealing Jack.
"I suppose so, but with whom?" the Doctor asked with a smile.
Motivated by the cheerful melody, Rose also couldn't resist,
She glanced at Jack, then stepped forward to dance with the Doctor.
Jack, standing by, also subtly swayed his body,
Amidst the joyful music,
The screen gradually faded into darkness. 』
『 .....』
〜Dimensional livestream, Chat Room〜
[ Shinomiya Kaguya (Love Is War): "So, the Doctor really can dance?" ]
[ Shizuka Hiratsuka (Oregairu): "I somehow feel like the Doctor is unhappy about Rose being with Jack?" ]
[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "Huh?" ]
[ Chihiro Sengoku (One Piece) "Like, he's jealous?" ]
[ Lisa (Genshin Impact): "Hehe, how cute~" ]
[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "There's that meaning too?" ]
[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "Hehehe, even though the Doctor is an alien, he's still a man, so he'd act like that?" ]
[ Haibara Ai (Detective Conan): "But Rose isn't..." ]
"Ding! 'The Awakening of Battlefield of Lonely Souls, The Ultimate Meaning of Life' concludes."
"Ding! 'A New Time War? Farewell is Also Rebirth, The Doctor's Final Lie' begins."
[ Keqing (Genshin Impact): "A new, Time War?" ]
[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "But, wasn't it already stated that the Time War ended a long time ago?" ]
[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "Now, only the Doctor is left." ]
[ The Doctor ⦍11th⦎ (Doctor Who): "..." ]
[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "Could it be that a new enemy has appeared?" ]
[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "Like in games, where the Demon King never truly dies?" ]
[ Kazuma Satou (KonoSuba): "??" ]
[ Many heroes were speechless (except for the hero in Frieren, who expressed no fear.)]
[ .....]
『 Soon, the dark screen lit up again.
The screen showed a scene similar to a variety show.
Several participants, including Rose, were playing a game.
But just after one round of the game, one of the losing players suddenly burst into tears.
However, what happened next astonished everyone.
At the center of the stage, the cold, emotionless machine host showed no mercy.
Because this was a game of life and death.
Facing this sudden scene, the remaining contestants watched in silence; no one uttered a word.
They knew in their hearts that this might be the fate they would soon face.
Among the crowd, only the blonde girl, Rose, resolutely stood up in protest.
She absolutely could not accept such a life-threatening game that disregarded human life.
Just as she gathered her courage to announce her withdrawal,
On the other side, a boy spoke up.
"No, I can't play anymore!"
As soon as the words fell, the boy fled his position in terror.
Immediately, everyone witnessed the outcome of his withdrawal from the competition.
The machine judge slowly turned its head, its gaze following the boy who had fled.
From its "mouth" extended the same weapon used to eliminate the previous person, and a scorching beam of light was instantly fired.
The fleeing boy was instantly pulverized.
Rose, seeing this, was stunned with fear.
At this moment, her heart was filled with panic; she didn't understand why she had fallen into such a situation.
She finally realized clearly,
This so-called quiz show was actually a deadly game that took people's lives.
But what was the point of understanding? Now, she was trapped with no way out.
Rose also knew that,
To win this game would be incredibly difficult.
As an ordinary 21st-century girl, how could she know all the things of the 2002nd century?
At this very moment, the old black man in a suit on the other side shared his insights with Rose.
"Just follow my vote, just relax."
"I've figured out a few correct answers. If we team up and vote, our chances of survival will naturally go up."
But Rose's mind was full of questions.
With so many people on the field, why did this Big Brother specifically choose her?
The answer to this question was actually quite simple: it was because he had spotted the pure and innocent look on her face.
"When it comes to the finals, it'll be our turn to PK, team."
"The outcome? You get eliminated, and I take home the big prize money."
"Thanks to the Bad Wolf Corporation."
The old black man spoke enthusiastically, but a word that popped out made Rose confused.
"Wait, who is this Bad Wolf you're talking about?" 』
