Start

Sirin

✦

Is this the end?

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

...

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

It's so quiet.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

I'm really alone this time.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

What... should I do? I don't even know what kind of vessels they want to keep souls.

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

Hey, don't go for the pinky heart-shaped ones. Disgusting.

🔇 N/A

✦

...

🔇 N/A

< Screen goes black. >

Broboli

✦

I can fit into a hat. It sounds good to be a Mad Hatter, perhaps.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

... Huh?

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Ehhhhhhh?!

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

What? You look like you saw a ghost.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Aren't you already... already...

🔇 N/A

Broboli

✦

Come one! Why would there be tragedies in the world of magic girls?

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

To be honest, I thought I'm doomed this time. But the moment the seed was destroyed, there seemed to be a force that stopped time, and then we found ourselves back here.

🔇 N/A

✦

Sirin unconsciously reached out to touch her arm.

🔇 N/A

✦

It was a soft, warm touch.

🔇 N/A

Broboli

✦

Relax, we aren't ghosts, and you aren't hallucinating.

🔇 N/A

???

✦

It's like finally waking up from a long dream.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

And you are...?

🔇 N/A

✦

The unknown girl tilted her head with a smile, then made a butterfly sign.

🔇 N/A

???

✦

The blue butterfly, remember?

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

Her identity is rather special. I'll tell you later.

🔇 N/A

???

✦

By the way, aren't you going to say hello to the people over there? They've been waiting for you.

🔇 N/A

✦

Sirin looked to the foyer. The first person to walk in was Delta, then Kasumi, Rita, and...

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Captain!

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

You did extraordinarily, Sirin.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

You must be exhausted! You can go back to Hyperion and rest up... Wait, what did you just call me?

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Nothing... It's just that I can't keep calling you "Hey".

🔇 N/A

✦

She mumbled, her ears slightly flushed.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Fufu~ It's okay, Miss Sirin, being honest with your feelings is the first step to growing up.

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

If you ask me, she's got a whole lot to learn.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

...

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Sorry, I don't think you can get your job done.

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

Nah, we'll be scolded at worst. But it'll be totally worth it to see her get roasted.

🔇 N/A

✦

Delta threw a glance at Kasumi. The ninja's face twitched slightly.

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

Bronie contacted us a while ago. She said TeRiRi has woken up and is doing good. That TeRiRi, after she heard that the town was surrounded by magical creatures, she insisted on coming over to join us.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

She's like that... Come on, let's go to the Crescent Moon District.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Then let's head out now.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

You can stay here. The problems of the magical girl world should be fixed by the magic girls.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Once this is over, maybe I'll... I'll decide when that time comes.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Okay, be careful out there.

🔇 N/A

✦

I watched the girls walk toward the foyer, but didn't notice a small white figure had stopped beside me.

🔇 N/A

???

✦

Captain, thank you.

🔇 N/A

✦

Looking into her blue eyes, I was reminded again of that never-ending summer, that melted sea salt popsicle, and that grudging downpour.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

No need to be so polite... Seele.

🔇 N/A

Seele

✦

Captain, have you found that person yet?

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Not yet, but I'm getting close.

🔇 N/A

Seele

✦

Captain, you will find that person. I'll cheer for you every day!

🔇 N/A

✦

She waved before running toward the magic girls and into the misty dawn.

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

We should set out too. Our job here is done.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

✦

Wait, I still have something to tell this captain.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

... I hope it's not bad news, such as I'm also an Ether Anchor.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

✦

Not that.

🔇 N/A

✦

The ninja paused. She looked at me as if I was somebody else, which made me tense up instinctively.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

✦

When I was investigating in this bubble universe, I came across two leads. As a ninja not under your employ, I'm not obligated to report to you.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

✦

But I will inform you on my own behalf.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

✦

The first lead is that the person you're investigating is targeting Theresa and Theresa alone.

🔇 N/A

✦

The second lead is that she's long since stopped sucking blood to sustain her life.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Stopped sucking blood? But those bite marks...

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

✦

That's all I know. I cannot guarantee the veracity of those leads.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Thank you for the leads. If there's anything I can help you with...

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

✦

That'd be unnecessary. The next time we meet, we will be enemies.

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

We're counting on you, bye~

🔇 N/A

✦

Delta winked and left with the ninja.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

(... I should've realized.)

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

(Princess Kongming discovered something undisclosable, that's why she left that note. There must be an ulterior reason for her being so cryptic.)

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

(Firstly, she only wanted me to see that note. The note was tucked under the chessboard, which was impossible for someone who didn't play chess against her often to notice.)

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

(Secondly, the note wasn't only alluding to me, but also to herself. "Those who recognize the situation live and those who break it survive" can be interpreted as she chose to break the passive situation at hand.)

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

(So Princess Kongming should've left the ship of her own accord to meet Luna.)

🔇 N/A

✦

Princess Kongming's note was still in my pocket. Because I wasn't sure of her intention, I hadn't mentioned it to others.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

(Based on the leads we acquired in those bubble universes, Luna has been indiscriminately attacking those who resemble her and sucking their blood.)

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

(Maybe she didn't take away those Theresas because she's already accomplished her goal.)

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

(But if sucking blood is no longer a requisite for survival, why would she keep doing it across bubble universes?)

🔇 N/A

✦

A collection of age-old memories surfaced.

🔇 N/A

✦

Like a broadcast heard on an old radio, at first it was too muffled to make out the words, then at some point it suddenly became unmistakably clear.

🔇 N/A

✦

"Her vampiric attacks can inject microbial-size Honkai Beasts into her victims."

🔇 N/A

✦

"They will also display vampiric urges similar to that of A-872... and share a life link with A-812."

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

(Something seems to be different from what I remember.)

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

(Those Theresas we saw didn't display any vampiric urges.)

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

(But I can't figure out why Luna would share her life with them when they have no problem living normally.)

🔇 N/A

✦

"The blood-sucking behavior of the infected will strengthen A-812. As long as A-812 isn't fatally threatened, the infected will be nearly immortal."

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

(As long as A-872 isn't fatally threatened...)

🔇 N/A

✦

I unconsciously repeated that audio in my memory, my back already drenched in sweat and cold to the bone.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Captain-sama, you've surely reached a conclusion by now?

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

By sucking blood, Luna left marks that connected her to Theresas, for the purpose of...

🔇 N/A

✦

Turning all Theresas into her hostages?

🔇 N/A

✦

I opened my mouth, but couldn't say the answer.

🔇 N/A

✦

Why did she do it? What happened in these years? I had no way of knowing.

🔇 N/A

✦

The girl who only wanted to see the outside world seemed to have turned into someone alien.

🔇 N/A

✦

Had I found earlier, would the situation be redeemable?

🔇 N/A

✦

Is she who turned Theresas into hostages and the girls who seek the Ether Anchors connected in some way?

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Rita, is this the place where you discovered the dream particles?

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Yes, it's a little distance ahead. Would you like to see it for yourself?

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Yes, I feel like I'm missing some information.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Then please follow me.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Many tenacious magical creatures have gathered here. If you don't follow me closely, I'll be rather worried.

🔇 N/A

< 2 Void Taurus and 1 Void Erinyes spawn. >

< After defeating 2 enemies, 2 Void Erinyes spawn. >

< 2 Void Chela spawn. >

< 1 Void Gorgon and 2 Void Hellion spawn. >

Rita

✦

How are you?

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Don't worry, I can keep up.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

But you're sweating profusely. I suggest we take a break here. Those dream particles won't disappear over time.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Somehow I feel... we're running out of time.

🔇 N/A

✦

Cold sweat slid down my spine. I tried to hide my fatigue, but Rita saw through my act.

🔇 N/A

✦

The communication indicator suddenly lit up.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

I have super great news! Wanna hear it?

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Just now, I accidentally found the coordinates of the bubble universe where Luna is. Isn't that the best news you've heard today?

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

It's our first time obtaining a lead so direct.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Yeah, that baffles me, but at least it's something. Even if it's a trap, it's worth checking out just to see who our enemy is.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

By the way, Captain, you have to pay me more this time, at least double... no, triple the usual. How about it?

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Captain?

🔇 N/A

< Screen goes black. >

Bronie

✦

Hello? Captain? Are you listening?

🔇 N/A
