Kallen

✦

Will this plan really work?

🔇 N/A

✦

Just a moment ago, we discussed a concrete plan to save the Theresas.

🔇 N/A

✦

It will take all our abilities combined. Furthermore, it seems even more far-fetched than the already-daunting task of resurrecting Theresas...

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

We have to at least try. We can't let the Theresas wait too long.

🔇 N/A

✦

The tension there in that tiny room was thick enough to cut with a knife [sic]

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Rita, are you ready?

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Yeah. when Miss Sirin uses dream-capturing magic to manifest dream particles, I'll catch them right away.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

I'm still quite nervous. This is the first time I'm using magic to trace someone's existence. I'm not sure if my magic is strong enough...

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Relax, Miss Sirin. You need to trust in your abilities, and also trust Captain and the Theresas'... Um, how should I put it?

🔇 N/A

✦

Rita seemed to be searching for a more gentle word. I have her a wry smile, shaking my head.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

My presence, in any bubble universe I've located, is mutually exclusive with the Theresas. It will definitely create a very strong energy fluctuation.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Just trust your instincts. Hasn't your magic worked miracles before?

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

...

🔇 N/A

✦

Sirin took a deep breath, revealed a nostalgic smile, and nervously flipped through the Register of Theresas.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Just relax, Sirin. Look, it's not just you. I've projected firearms countless times, but this will be my first time projecting a whole person.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

The Theresas may have disappeared, but we can still remember them, and Captain is still here. This means that the connection between the Theresas and the Captain hasn't been completely erased.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

In any case, it's worth a try.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

(Yes, it has to be worth a try. After all...)

🔇 N/A

Luna

✦

I must leave now. Back to where I ought to be...

🔇 N/A

Luna

✦

It must be like a storeroom packed with all sorts of things, containing many, many versions of me...

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

(That's right. Her purpose was to protect me, so she used her own link to exile the Theresas to a place where they couldn't reach me.)

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

I believe in Kongming, and her.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Some good ol' reverse engineering might just bring them back from this storeroom.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

I'll thoroughly scan the memories, appearances, and personalities of the Theresas within the dream particles. That should give us accurate data...

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

But if you ever encounter Cioara in the future, please don't betray me.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Alright, I'll do my best.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Sirin, you can do it!

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

...

🔇 N/A

✦

Accompanied by Sirin's faint chanting, her body seemed to attract fireflies, gathering one tiny white light after another.

🔇 N/A

✦

They formed a magical, star-shaped light that gently landed in Sirin's palm.

🔇 N/A

✦

Before long, the dazzling white light emitted by the sphere burst forth in the center of the room.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

Huh, according to the Mercurial Hatter's invitation, her afternoon tea party starts at this time, right?

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

But why hasn't the Mercurial Hatter arrived yet. Or anyone for that matter...

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

Hello, girl over there. Were you also invited to the tea party?

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

Great! I'm Theresa, delighted to meet you! Come, take a seat.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

Oh, you're named Theresa too? What a coincidence! It seems the Mercurial Hatter set us up to meet!

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

Then... Let's raise our cups together! From today onward, Theresa will be Theresa's good friend!

🔇 N/A

✦

The warm tea quietly turned cold as Theresa leaned on the table, lost in a sweet and heavy dream.

🔇 N/A

Luna

✦

I'm sorry. I really like you, but please forgive me... Please forgive me...

🔇 N/A

✦

This is a memory belonging to Alice dressed in the sky-blue dress and wearing a black ribbon headband, or perhaps to Theresa.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

I did it! Captain, Rita, I did it!

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Okay, now it's my turn!

🔇 N/A

✦

Soon after, Rita took the star-shaped light. The chaotic interior of the sphere gradually became more distinct, with fragments of memories floating within.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Tracker, perform a scan.

🔇 N/A

✦

The girl's fingertips danced across the keyboard of the laser projection device. After issuing the command, all the information about Theresa had transformed into data and was displayed in front of Bronie.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

(Phew... These memories have already faded, so they might not be useable anymore... No, even faded memories are still memories. Cancel the delete operation!)

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Take it easy, Bronie.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Once we find Kongming, I definitely want to ask her how she's been able to stump my powers.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

...

🔇 N/A

✦

Bronie held her breath and focused. Her projection ability, usually so effortless for her, felt unusually difficult at this moment.

🔇 N/A

✦

Thankfully, as Bronie inputted the command and executed it, in the corner of the prison cell, the cowering little form transformed from a black shadow to the physical presence of the spirited young girl from the dream.

🔇 N/A

✦

The girl immediately opened her tightly shut eyes anxiously surveyed her surroundings.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

Oh, it's you, March Hare!

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Yes, it's me. We've come to take you out.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

Out? Wait a minute, how did I end up back here again?

🔇 N/A

Himeko

✦

Don't be nervous, Miss Theresa. I'm a Police Volunteer from Sapphire. I received a report and came to take you home.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

Huh, wait a minute, where did the other Theresa go?

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

Although I'm not sure what I did wrong, she was angry with me and hasn't come to see me again. But I still want to go home with her.

🔇 N/A

Himeko

✦

Uh...

🔇 N/A

Kallen

✦

Please don't worry, Miss Theresa.

🔇 N/A

Kallen

✦

The other Theresa... Right now, she's brainstorming new ideas for a tea party, saying she wants to surprise you. So, go home and wait patiently. When she's ready, she'll definitely come find you.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

Wow, that's great! Please tell her to come find me in the Red Queen's garden. I'll introduce her to my new friends there!

🔇 N/A

✦

The girl in the sky-blue dress gleefully held the hands of Himeko and Kallen, eagerly heading towards the exit. I saw Himeko looking uneasy, exaggeratedly mouthing a message to me...

🔇 N/A

Himeko

✦

(Are we really sending her back? That's the Red Queen!)

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

(Yep. That's the world where she truly belongs!)

🔇 N/A

✦

Before we could finish, the two were taken away by Alice, who dragged them out of the castle.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

That went much smoother than expected.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

But she believed the lie so quickly and then bid us all a happy farewell... How naive...

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

("Farewell"...?)

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

This is a world where we're all forced to part ways all too often. But maybe, none of us are good at saying goodbye.

🔇 N/A

Kongming

✦

"Not good at saying goodbye..." Huh... Someone said the same thing to me a long time ago.

🔇 N/A

✦

A conversation from long ago, so distant that I wouldn't intentionally recall it, yet it surfaced unexpectedly at this moment.

🔇 N/A

✦

Was it a coincidence, an overwhelming sense of yearning, or...

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Captain?

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Can... Can we move on to the next cell now?

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Yes. Let's not waste any time. We mustn't keep Theresa waiting too long.

🔇 N/A

💬

Sirin

✦

Here we go.

🔇 N/A

✦

After some chanting, the familiar white glow came into view.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

My name is Theresa, and I'm a detective who can crack any case!

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

What would you like to... Whoa!

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

You look just like me.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

Sorry, kid, but you're too young to be moaning about your boring life.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

Of course I'm not telepathic. I'm just a detective, not a magic girl. I am able to see through you because I've met lots of clients like you.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

Anyway, the solution will never come to you if you wallow in despair and give up.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

You want a hug? Alrighty, as long as it makes you happy.

🔇 N/A

✦

The incisive detective leaned against her chair and took a nap, as if she had finished her work early.

🔇 N/A

Luna

✦

I'm sorry. I lied. I didn't get bored of the world that person lives in. I just want that person to be able to live a better life...

🔇 N/A

✦

Theresa bolted upright in bed.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

So sleepy... I'm exhausted.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

Huh? When did I get back here? And why are you...

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Detective Theresa, time to deduce!

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

... Not you again.

🔇 N/A

Himeko

✦

Forget about that. Miss Theresa, we're sending you home.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

How's the girl doing?

🔇 N/A

Kallen

✦

She...

🔇 N/A

✦

Kallen had grown tired of making up a new story every time. Besides, Theresa was more than likely to see past any falsehood, and it didn't help her feel better either.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

What can I do for her?

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

We appreciate the help, detective. Since we can get you out, we can save her as well.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

You're a bit of a rag-tag bunch, though.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

I guess it's not the worst thing in the world. By the way, write to me if you're so sure.

🔇 N/A

✦

With a wave of her hand, Theresa stepped out of the cage along with Himeko and Kallen.

🔇 N/A

Kongming

✦

All our problems should be solved once we send you back. After all, it's my fault that you were summoned to our world.

🔇 N/A

Kongming

✦

The fluctuations in the formation plunged me onto a deserted island. For the past three years, I've been monitoring you... But for some reason. I always see that person in you.

🔇 N/A

Kongming

✦

Now, I can finally say with full certainty...

🔇 N/A

Kongming

✦

You are that person. The week I spent with you nearly changed my life.

🔇 N/A

✦

Hearing her words made me think that I couldn't let her down.

🔇 N/A

✦

As more Theresas were rescued, bits and pieces of their past coalesced and clarified the memory with Kongming.

🔇 N/A

✦

I didn't know if my mind was playing tricks on me, or if it was genuine. Deep down in my heart, I hoped that everything would be okay, before it was too late.

🔇 N/A

💬

✦

Using the information recorded in the notes, we located all of the Theresas, in the correct order.

🔇 N/A

✦

However...

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Is Kongming really leaving herself with no way out?

🔇 N/A

✦

I frantically flipped through the notes, but there was only information about every one of the Theresas we'd managed to rescue.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Darn it! Why aren't there any clues about her in here?

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

What is Kongming thinking? Did she really forget about herself?

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Wait, Bronie.

🔇 N/A

✦

I went over Kongming's list again.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

This place...

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

It's blank.

🔇 N/A

✦

It felt like it was intentionally left for someone, and whoever wrote this entry hesitated.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Indeed. Such a huge space must have been left on purpose?

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Could she have been in a hurry and not had time to finish?

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Or maybe she didn't know what to write down. After all...

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Kongming can't get back to her bubble universe anymore...

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

...

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Miss Kongming... who would have thought that you would one day make such miscalculations as well?

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

...?

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

What's the big deal? As long as she has a beloved place in mind, we'll get her back.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

She's spent the majority of her time not in her original bubble universe, but elsewhere.

🔇 N/A

✦

Bronie flashed her distinctive smile, and I knew exactly what she was thinking.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

In that case, I'll be her anchor this time around.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Sirin, let's try one more time! Use me as a beacon and get Kongming back!

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

On it! But Captain, we need you to provide enough anchors related to Kongming.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Sure. I'll show you our history.

🔇 N/A

✦

Even if you had left me no clues, I could still find you within my memories of our past.

🔇 N/A

✦

Not just my memories, the experiences we went through together were indelible.

🔇 N/A

✦

"You once said to me, 'I'll stay by your side no matter how hard it is...'"

🔇 N/A

✦

"I now ask you to fulfill your promise, Captain."

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

(I promised that I would always be there for you, but as it turns out, you're the one who's fulfilling it.)

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

(Despite all that has transpired, you have never left my side.)

🔇 N/A

✦

"Even if you gave up on me now, I would not hold a grudge against you. How could I ever hate you?"

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

(Back then, it was as if I was drowning and grasping at straws. I didn't even have time to think about how I could rescue you.)

🔇 N/A

✦

"You don't have to take responsibility for everything. I'll always be there for you, to share your burdens."

🔇 N/A

✦

"You taught me how to trust a person."

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

(Because of you, I believe I can save others. And this time, I'll keep my promise, too.)

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

(I'll bring you back. I'll bring a happy ending for everyone.)

🔇 N/A

✦

"Mr. Assassin~ I want that~ Please buy it for me~"

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

(... It's been a long time since you called me that. And it's almost impossible to hear you speak that way now.)

🔇 N/A

✦

"I remember that there's a tradition... If you write your wish on the sky lantern, it will bring your wish to the heavens above."

🔇 N/A

✦

"Do you have a wish to write on the lantern?"

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

(Let's light lanterns when you're back.)

🔇 N/A

✦

Meanwhile, Sirin was gathering thousands of memories and condensing them into a ball of light. It was resplendent, like a lantern meant to light Kongming back home.

🔇 N/A

✦

Please, Big Dipper, please guide this lost adventurer...

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Kongming, Kongming?

🔇 N/A

✦

As I held Kongming in my arms, her eyes opened ever so slightly.

🔇 N/A

Kongming

✦

...

🔇 N/A

✦

Her eyes regained their former limpidity.

🔇 N/A

Kongming

✦

Mmm...

🔇 N/A

Kongming

✦

You did it... You brought me back.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Of course! You're indispensable to me!

🔇 N/A

✦

The weakened Kongming hugged my neck tightly, with unexpected strength.

🔇 N/A

Kongming

✦

I knew it. I knew you could make it...

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Kongming, wait…

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Ahem, Miss Kongming?

🔇 N/A

Kongming

✦

!

🔇 N/A

✦

… With a sudden realization, Kongming pushed me away.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

-!

🔇 N/A

Kongming

✦

Ah, Captain, are you okay?

🔇 N/A

Kongming

✦

Sorry, it’s my… No, it’s because she popped out of nowhere and scared ne half to death.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Hey, what’s so weird about having other people around?

🔇 N/A

Kongming

✦

Regardless, don’t do that again.

🔇 N/A

✦

Despite her angry retort, Kongming let out a lighthearted chuckle as she turned back to me.

🔇 N/A

Kongming

✦

Huh? What’s that look for? Do you not want me to come back?

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

No… I was just wondering why you left a blank space for yourself in the notes, when you could have clearly written how we can save you.

🔇 N/A

Kongming

✦

Oh? Is that what you think?

🔇 N/A

✦

Her initial expression, which read of shock, changed to something more inscrutable.

🔇 N/A

Kongming

✦

I didn’t leave that space for me.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Huh? That means…

🔇 N/A

Kongming

✦

I trust you. I knew you wouldn’t need any clues to save me. That blank space…

🔇 N/A

Kongming

✦

Stands for the last Theresa.

🔇 N/A

✦

Head to the Ferryman’s ship.
