Start

✦

With the help of the Captain and her companions, Sirin the Magic Girl lifted the curse on the Miracle Stone to rescue TeRiRi and her two seniors.

🔇 N/A

✦

The Magic Girl case was settled, but Kongming's whereabouts still remained unknown. Meanwhile, the Captain had unexpectedly obtained the only clue about a certain girl...

🔇 N/A

✦

... However, that girl had left marks on the different Theresas across various bubble universes, as if plotting some sort of grand plan.

🔇 N/A

✦

To find Kongming and uncover the girl's secret, the Captain and the companions set off to the girl's bubble universe based on Bronie's coordinates.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Luna, this time, we'll finally meet.

🔇 N/A

✦

The air was still and stuffy.

🔇 N/A

✦

The chirping of cicadas went hand in hand with sweltering heat waves and dazzling sunshine.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

(The same summer as it was then... The sunlight is too harsh.)

🔇 N/A

✦

"...Not much time is left for you to choose. Act once you're done thinking."

🔇 N/A

✦

The voice I overheard echoed in my mind. Not much time is left? Act immediately? What does this have to do with Rita?

🔇 N/A

✦

And that voice is very concerning.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Captain-sama, are you still feeling dizzy?

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Don't worry, I'm fine.

🔇 N/A

✦

Sapphire... I didn't expect the leads on Luna would lead us back here.

🔇 N/A

✦

Memories of that summer flooded into my mind, and now—

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

...

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

(I don't feel hungry, but why am I still...?)

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Captain-sama...

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

(Rita's expression... Has she heard it? I need to change the subject.)

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Captain-sama, do you have any recommended restaurants?

🔇 N/A

After the Blood Moon Fades Familiar City Rita Beach

Captain

✦

Why are you asking about that?

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

It is useful to know the local specialties that represent a city. Captain-sama, I take it that you know this place quite well[sic]

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

You have a point. That reminds me...

🔇 N/A

✦

Looking toward the downtown area, I quickly located a restaurant from my fuzzy memories.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

There's a place called "HOMU's Joyful Dining".

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

It's near the beach, has a conspicuous signboard, serves fast food... Hmm...

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Let's go there and grab a bite.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Hmm?

🔇 N/A

✦

Rita smiled gently.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Relax, Captain-sama. There are only the two of us here. Or do you not want to have afternoon tea with me?

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Of course I do.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Good. I'll send our coordinates to Miss Bronie. Shall we go now?

Rita

✦

Oh, what a pity. There's a blockade on the closest path to HOMU's Joyful Dining.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

I suppose we'll have to take a detour.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

There's a ladder by the beach. Captain-sama, shall we go have a look?

🔇 N/A

After the Blood Moon Fades Familiar City Chibi Rita Barricade 2

< Walk downstairs and to the right. >

Rita

✦

Unfortunately, the ladder is also broken.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

But not too broken. It can be fixed.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Good idea. Good news is that there's a small construction site ahead that has all the tools and resources we need to fix it.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

And... the bad news is?

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

The site looks empty, so we have to do it ourselves.

Captain

✦

This is...

🔇 N/A

✦

There was a strange device by the road.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

It's a geospatial anchor. Looks like it uses the nature of bubble universes to fold space and...

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

...That's all Greek to me.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Hmm... In other words, we can use it to teleport.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Oh, a portal? I know portals!

🔇 N/A

✦

Geospatial anchor unlocked.

✦

By the road, a child holding a drink as red as blood was talking and gesticulating to the crowd.

🔇 N/A

Boy in Trousers

✦

Have you heard? Vampires have appeared in Sapphire!

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Is this information reliable?

🔇 N/A

Boy in Trousers

✦

Absolutely! The grandfather of the deskmate of the third niece of my seventh uncle tells us about vampires all the time!

🔇 N/A

Boy in Trousers

✦

There are vampires wandering in nearby alleys and on the rooftops in the southwest corner! If they bite you, you'll turn into a vampire monster, too!

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

(Alleys... Rooftops...)

🔇 N/A

Boy in Trousers

✦

It's real! People in HOMU's Joyful Dining have also sighted them!

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Well, then it may be more than an urban legend.

🔇 N/A

Boy in Trousers

✦

Right? Thank you for believing me. I'll tell everyone about this! To keep them away from those places!

🔇 N/A

✦

As the child bounced away, the drink in his hand spilled out, leaving red spots on the ground.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

(This... looks like tomato juice.)

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Captain-sama, we came to the right place. It's likely that she is here, but is she still the person you remember?

🔇 N/A

After the Blood Moon Fades Familiar City Rita Boy On Road

Captain

✦

...

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

She won't change. I will always believe in her, just as she has always believed in me.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Let's go check out HOMU's Joyful Dining first.

🔇 N/A

< The diner has been unlocked and can now be entered. >

After the Blood Moon Fades Familiar City Chibi Rita Diner Entrance

✦

At the door of the diner, an enthusiastic employee handed us a flyer.

🔇 N/A

Employee Handing Out Flyers

✦

Oh, dear customer, can I interest you in our freshly launched Bloody Tomato Combo here at HOMU's Joyful Dining?

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Blood-like tomato juice with a hamburger loaded with ketchup. It's worthy of the name.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

(The child must have got his drink from here.)

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Captain-sama, let's dine here as we wait for Miss Bronie.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Sure. By the way, have you heard of urban legends about vampires?

🔇 N/A

Employee Handing Out Flyers

✦

Vampire rumors... You've asked the right person.

🔇 N/A

✦

The employee nervously raised her sleeve. There was a scratch on her arm, and it looked new.

🔇 N/A

Employee Handing Out Flyers

✦

Last night, when I was on my way home, a black shadow darted into me, leaving me this scratch.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

This scratch... looks...

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

It looks like a normal scratch...

🔇 N/A

Employee Handing Out Flyers

✦

No, I think it has something to do with vampires!

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

...Well, it's possible.

🔇 N/A

Employee Handing Out Flyers

✦

But that's all I know. If you're interested, why don't you come on in and order a Bloody Tomato Combo? It's so hot outside.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

...

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

(Is this a new marketing method...? I don't think I can ask more information out of her.)

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Captain-sama, aren't you hungry? Let's go in.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Okay.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

(I might as well find more clues myself.)

🔇 N/A

After the Blood Moon Fades Familiar City Chibi Rita Diner Inside

< You can freely leave and re-enter the diner but are still not allowed to walk out of bounds. Inside the diner, there are 2 sparkling spots you can walk to to investigate them, after which you get a one-liner from the controlled chibi figure. >

After the Blood Moon Fades Familiar City Chibi Rita Diner Inside Spark Right

After the Blood Moon Fades Familiar City Chibi Rita Diner Inside Spark Left

After the Blood Moon Fades Familiar City Chibi Rita Diner Inside Spark Both

< Interacting with either spark results in the following extra dialogue. >

✦

Crimson trails were left on the walls in one of the restaurant's corners. On closer inspection, it was just crayon doodles.

🔇 N/A

✦

Seems like it's a must for every vampire restaurant to use red to achieve the right atmosphere.

🔇 N/A

< End of extra dialogue. >

After the Blood Moon Fades Familiar City Chibi Rita Diner Inside Chair

< Interact with the chair. >

✦

After observing for a while, I didn't find any useful clues, so I settled down at a table.

🔇 N/A

✦

Energetic music was playing on repeat. The restaurant was drenched with vampire-themed decorations to attract customers.

🔇 N/A

✦

They aimed to maximally stimulate the appetite of customers, but I just stared at the food on the plate, not feeling hungry at all...

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

...

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

(Back then, I also ordered these hamburgers...)

🔇 N/A

< Screen fades to black for one scene. >

Kallen

✦

HOMU's Joyful Dining has great burgers, but they aren't as good as the onigiri of Yae Village.

🔇 N/A

✦

Looking at the layout of the restaurant, those memories came alive.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

(Besides, this restaurant...)

🔇 N/A

< Screen fades to black for three scenes. >

Himeko

✦

Sorry about the delay. Met an... old friend on the way.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Responsible Sapphire police volunteers don't use that kind of excuses.

🔇 N/A

Himeko

✦

Ahh... But I did pick up some interesting intel.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Captain-sama, it is very impolite to be distracted in front of ladies.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Uh, I'm sorry... I...

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

However, no table manners prohibit eating in front of ladies, Captain-sama.

🔇 N/A

✦

Amused by her rare humor, I immediately caught her drift.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Okay, I'll focus on the meal now.

🔇 N/A

✦

But when I grabbed a hamburger, the tangled memories played in my eyes again.

🔇 N/A

✦

"I'm glad to see you didn't forget our promise."

🔇 N/A

✦

"I'm sorry, but I may be unable to keep my promise to you."

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Captain-sama, instead of brooding alone, you can try venting out.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Guess I can't hide anything from you... It's about the dreams I had recently.

🔇 N/A

< Screen momentarily goes black. >

Rita

✦

...I see.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Nothing I saw and heard in my dreams was from my memory, but it felt so real, as if I've been wandering to realize a promise and would stop at nothing.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

So, Captain-sama, do you suppose Miss Luna acted that way in your dream out of an intense obsession?

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

...

🔇 N/A

✦

I'd like to say yes, but it's been too long since I met her. Besides, who am I to judge where she's gone and what she's experienced?

🔇 N/A

✦

Who am I... to judge?

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

I can see you're very concerned about Miss Luna.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

But we are here to find out what she plans to do and prevent her from doing anything more dangerous.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

As for why she does it... We may learn that after we stop her.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

...You're right, I was too anxious.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

It's worse that you forgot your purpose.

🔇 N/A

✦

I picked up the underlying meaning, so I forced myself to unwrap the hamburger.

🔇 N/A

???

✦

Why aren't you guys eating?

🔇 N/A

✦

Two little hands suddenly appeared, one grabbing the soda and the other the hamburger.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

It's better to arrive at the right time than early. Thanks for the treat.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Bronie, you're fast...

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Am I? I was delayed on my way... Alright, come on out.

🔇 N/A

✦

Behind Bronie, a purple-haired girl poked her head out.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Miss Sirin, we meet again.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

...

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Bronie said you needed help, so...

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Hey, I never said that! You're the one who was worried sick, and urged me to pick you up as soon as things settled in Crescent Moon City.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Hey...! Bronie, shut it!

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Sirin, I'm happy you came to help me. It's just...

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Hmph, if you think you could ease me out by saying "It's too dangerous" or "It's my own business", you're underestimating my resolve and efforts so far!

🔇 N/A

✦

Sirin turned her face away awkwardly, her puffed cheeks slightly rosy.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

I see... Thank you, Sirin.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

That's the spirit! Nom... Sirin, try this hamburger, it's super!

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

No, I'm not eating what you've bitten!

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Miss Sirin, we ordered the recommended combo for you. It comes with a Magical Girl toy—look.

🔇 N/A

✦

Sirin glanced at it reluctantly.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

(Wait a minute... The burger bun is pink! Aaaah this bat-shaped wand is so cute too!)

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

See? I told you Sirin would love it! Wait, I'll go order more combos to fill all of our stomachs!

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

I want another Magical Girl toy! Bronie, wait up!

🔇 N/A

✦

Sirin's upstanding hair shook a little. She and Bronie ran in tandem to the counter.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Sirin looks livelier than before.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Yes, and you're much more relaxed than you were a moment ago.

🔇 N/A

✦

Rita looked at me smilingly. I realized I had already taken a few bites of the hamburger in my hand.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Seems that you've regained your appetite.

🔇 N/A

< Screen momentarily fades to black. >

Sirin

✦

So, did you find the lead on Luna in Sapphire?

🔇 N/A

✦

Sirin tilted her head at us while biting her straw.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Yes. Captain-sama and Miss Luna first met in Sapphire. But she's quite difficult to locate. She was last seen... before Miss Bronie was born...

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Hey, what does it have to do with me?

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

In short, it dates back a very long time. I'm just as surprised to hear from her again...

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

But the clue came in a fishy way.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Hmm? What do you mean?

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

It all came too easy! Think about it, we weren't able to locate some of the Theresas in other bubble universes just because of the distance limits...

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

I've been searching for Luna for a long time to no avail, regardless of how much I optimized the programs and machines. And the same person has to return to Sapphire when we begin helping Theresa?

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

And...

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Judging by the time, the bubble universe where Sapphire was located shoulda perished long ago, or... have started to deteriorate...

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

But it looks fine. Will my bubble universe end up like that...?

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Will it...?

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Well...

🔇 N/A

✦

Sirin put the wand toy she was clutching on the table and pushed it back to Rita.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Here you go. I don't want any toy sets. I'm not a child. I want the truth.

🔇 N/A

✦

Rita looked at me, and I nodded.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Sirin, all the bubble universes floating in the Sea of Quanta will eventually perish, just as everything will return to dust, but there's still a long time before the day comes.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

And the toy is a thank-you gift. You know I won't lie to you.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Really? Then...

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Then I'll accept it, but with one condition—since our mission is so dangerous, you need to give me another one after it's over.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

That's a promise.

🔇 N/A

✦

Rita, who would only drink wine or tea, raised a glass of soda and signaled to us.

🔇 N/A

✦

The light passed through the red sparkling juice, casting a blush on her fair wrist.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Let's have our meal first. As for the specifics, we can play it by ear. What I mean is...

🔇 N/A

< Screen fades to black. >

Rita

✦

This trip may have unexpected rewards.

🔇 N/A

Captain
