In this page, we will highlight all the changes made from reveal to release that we know about. We'll look at everything Haiku to see how/where it got started and the long road of development that shaped this game to what we know today.

## Episode Chronology

****"More Than a Childhood Friend, but Not True Love."**** (幼なじみ以上、本命未満。, *Osananajimi Ijō, Honmei Miman.*?) is the ninth episode of the More Than a Married Couple, But Not Lovers anime series.

## Plot

### Prelude

At school, the teacher explains to the students that they will continue to be evaluated on their performance regarding the practical until the end of July before the upcoming summer break. Jirō notes that while he and Akari are on the right track regarding their performance, he felt that he should not drag their partnership into the second term because it would be unfair to Akari. He then switches his attention to Shiori and wonders what she will be doing during the summer break. The scene then switches to Jirō holding a flyer about a live-in summer job. Sadaharu explains that the café that his brother is working for is opening a pop-up shop on a beach for a summer event and that they need temporary workers for the three days they are operating. Sadaharu reveals that not only would he be working there, he had also put in an application to have Jirō work there as well. Jirō is upset at Sadaharu's revelation because he lacks the social skills to interact with the customers or to live there with other workers. Sadaharu agrees, saying that as an introvert he would be unable to survive in that kind of environment if he went there alone. Jirō then asks him why he took the job to which Sadaharu says that he needed money to play gacha so that he could obtain his favorite video-game character in a swimsuit. Dumbfounded by his answer, Jirō drops the flyer only for Shiori to pick it up and hand it back to him. Shiori notices that the flyer is about the summer job she and Mei applied for. Sadaharu confirms to Shiori that he and Jirō will also be working there. Jirō can only reluctantly agree as Shiori is excited at the prospect of working together with him. As Shiori leaves with Mei, Jirō realizes that he has another opportunity to get closer to Shiori but Sadaharu reminds him to get permission from Akari first.

### Post-Credits

Akari shows herself off wearing more swimsuits which features commentary from Sachi and Natsumi.

## Etymology

* The name **Himari** means "sunshine" (陽) (**hi**) and "hollyhock" (葵) (**mari**).
Repair Stations

**Repair Stations** are objects in Haiku the Robot.

## Description

The refuge of the damaged and overheated, it's a place for Haiku to repair and reflect to save yourself from backtracking, as once triggered your Health Capsules are repaired, and the station can rebuild you from scratch upon destruction. Unfortunately, you will lose a great deal of your spare parts, which isn't because of the cost of repairs, cause even if you're broke when you're broken, the repair station will repair you. You can also access your chips and swap them out to be the best robot you can be.

## Trivia

* It is clearly inspired by the save stations in Metroid.
* It is somewhat similar to the design of the device Haiku emerges from; this might be because these two game elements were created side by side in early development.

Sparky no-clip

(Temp image)

"Sir, if i wasn't supposed to cut people open why would it be so fun to do it?"

Revery Spark No-clip's head is a CRT Television which can display various images or facial expressions, the decision for his head being such an object is still uncertain, especially considering his uncommon use of it. the cable on the back of his head has a plug which never matched any outlets known. at the tips of his fingers are extremely conductive metal which he can use to shock people at varying degrees of lethality. the clothes he wears can differ wildly, however his preferred outfit consists of jeans, a black tattered shirt, and an old lab coat with scorch marks on it.

## Origins

Sparky is a robot built by a company destroyed and forgotten long ago. interested in him and what he meant, he and his brother were picked up by a research foundation to be studied in a work environment. Showing interest in human body, Sparky was put to work in the facility as a surgeon doing incredibly immoral experiments that normal humans couldn't stomach, even going so far as to replace a child's heart with a blaze core. soon after however, he began trying to change his ways, even starting to become sick even thinking of his past actions. well, as sick as a robot can get.

disliking how he was changing, the facility began to treat him poorly, giving him less and less work over time and showing no care when other researchers (including his psychopathic ex-girlfriend) harassed him. eventually once he had stepped a little too far he was disposed off, being left in an old closet to be forgotten.

## Summary

Jirō is helping Akari with her yukata. Akari gets impatient with Jirō's clumsy attempts at tying a bow. Jirō tells her that she should just wear her street clothes like Sachi instead of bothering with the yukata. She says that there is no way she is going to attend a festival with Minami and not wear a yukata. Jirō is a bit displeased that Akari never dresses up when she's with him, which meant that she probably didn't see him as a man.

At the festival, Akari meets up with Sachi and Natsumi. They run into Minami's friends, Shū and two other guys. They apologize and inform the girls that Minami couldn't make it because he got asked to help out at his job before they could even ask him to come with them.

Akari says it's fine since there was nothing they could do about the situation. As the guys leave to buy some food, Sachi and Natsumi also leave to buy additional food they want to eat. Akari is left alone with her thoughts. She wondered why that instead of being disappointed, she felt somewhat relieved despite all the preparations she did leading up to the festival. Her thoughts are interrupted by a commotion nearby, with people gushing over a handsome guy with her girlfriend. When Akari investigates, she sees Minami walking together with Shiori.

Haiku

**Haiku** is the mysterious protagonist of Haiku the Robot. They are woken up by a character only referred to as The Betrayed. They are believed to be the final part to sealing the Virus and saving Arcadia.

## Appearance

Haiku is a cute-looking circular robot with short arms and legs. Their face appears to be a circle on the front middle of their spherical body. They wield a heavy chip-like sword that is believed to be the key to sealing the Virus. They have a cheek blush effect, despite being a robot.

## Story

Haiku is woken up by a strange voice, locked away inside a strange hidden area. A virus-like entity leaves their system and they detach from the stand they are strung up to. They start moving.

They meet many characters as they go, and eventually find and free the 3 creators of Arcadia. A 4th creator referred to as The Betrayed can also be found completely infected and dead while exploring. This being somehow speaks to Haiku the same way the voice did at the beginning of the game, suggesting a link between the 2 robots.

After freeing the other 3 creators from the Virus, Haiku returns to the Mainframe Vault where they fight the Virus. Upon defeating them, Haiku absorbs the Virus into their sword, and a small black spot is added to the sword for a short while.

After this, they return to the Forgotten Ruins, where they place the sword in a lever hole, and enter a secret archive-like area. It is then discovered that the first 3 creators were the ones who killed the 4th creator after a disagreement over the Virus and its potential to make robots more dominant. It is also hinted at that the other first 3 creators also created the Virus in order to both kill the 4th creator and to make all the people of Arcadia stronger.

An alternative way of viewing this is that they simply created the Virus to kill the 4th creator and it simply got out of hand, and that the argument between the creators was purely about imbalancing the world and making robots dominate completely, though there don't seem to be any biological creatures left. In the end, Haiku is forced to have a final battle with all 3 of the original creators at once.
Factory Facility

The **Factory Facility** is an area in Haiku the Robot. It is unlocked after restoring the clock in Pinion's Expanse. The entire area is filled with sawblades, conveyer belts and other construction themed enemies. It is located in the top-right corner of the map. There are a grand total of 5 Power Cells located around the area. Two bosses are fought here as well.

Rusted Keys

*A Simple Key that could probably open an old lock*

There are a total of 4 keys found throughout Arcadia, they can be used to open simple locks and can only be used once.

This key is exactly that, just a key. The origin of these keys is unknown but it's unlikely there is much more to them as they truly are simple.

The Electric Key is the only variation of this item and can only be used to unlock Echo's Shop

Prior to the Obscure Information Update, there wasn't a use for the 4th obtainable key which meant for awhile players had a useless key in their inventory.
