A few days later—

🔇 N/A

✦

The usually energetic TeRiRi remained unconscious on the white bed.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

…

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

I used to complain about how loud you were, but I'm more used.to that noisy you…

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

When you wake up, I'll tell you everything that happened over these few days.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

I'm guessing that you'll giggle as you inch closer, and say…

When you wake up, I'll tell you everything that happened over these few days.

I'm guessing that you'll giggle as you inch closer, and say…

🔇 N/A

Sirin

…

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Never mind, I'm not going to imitate your silly words.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

I just want to tell you that I don't acknowledge your recklessness, but... But…

🔇 N/A

< Screen fades to white. >

Sirin

✦

Huh, what happened?

🔇 N/A

???

✦

Looks like you don't intend to change how willful you are.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Vollerei Senpai…?

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

No, she would never say something like that!

🔇 N/A

“Vollerei”

✦

How should I put it, then? "But an idiot like you obtained the Miracle Stone and uncovered the secret of magic girls, which has made the mature me super jelly!"

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Vollerei Senpai would never twist another person's heart! Who are you?

🔇 N/A

“Vollerei”

✦

I've made a bigger discovery, and it's about the little secret in the prideful Sirin's heart! Do you want to hear it?

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

You...

🔇 N/A

“Vollerei”

✦

Actually, Sirin was scared that she might never solve this problem called the Miracle Stone in her whole life.

🔇 N/A

“Vollerei”

✦

Sirin was scared that they might never come back. Vollerei, TeRiRi, oh, and Broboli, they’d neverrrr come back!

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Stop it!

🔇 N/A

“Vollerei”

✦

And this is all that coward's fault. Sirin? A worthless imbecile who could do nothing right.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Stop it already!

🔇 N/A

✦

She snapped and swung a heavy blow. The other jumped back, narrowly evading it.

🔇 N/A

✦

The girl who had Vollerei's face only shrugged nonchalantly.

🔇 N/A

“Vollerei”

✦

You're as impulsive as ever, Sirin.

🔇 N/A

“Vollerei”

✦

You and your heart are equally simple.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

I don't need your judgment!

< Defeat the Crab-shaped Creature. Story resumes after enemy is defeated. >

Sirin

✦

Why... why haven't you disappeared?

🔇 N/A

“Vollerei”

✦

Why? Because I know you better than yourself.

🔇 N/A

“Vollerei”

✦

By the law of the jungle, you should be the one disppearing.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Wh-what do you want!

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

…

🔇 N/A

✦

The quarrel vanished along with the illusion. In the ward, only TeRiRi's slow breathing could be heard.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

…

🔇 N/A

✦

Sirin stared at the dark red crystal in her hand. She had no proof, but still found it suspicious.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

(Is it the work of the Miracle Stone? But...)

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

(But that illusion wasn't wrong...)

🔇 N/A

✦

Sirin shook her head to drive this pesky thought away, but—

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

…

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Hey… How long have you been standing there?

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Um, sorry, I need to talk to you, so…

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Don't be nervous, I just fell asleep. Let's go talk outside.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

This is all we know.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

The Overseer and Twilight Paladin both met a mysterious girl. But as far as I know, TeRiRi hasn't come into contact with her.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

They had different troubles and encounters in three bubble universes, so we're unable to find a pattern.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

We did solve Twilight Paladin's problem, but it might've just delayed the arrival of the crisis.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Wow, all that effort for nothing…

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Maybe not.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Because the Ether Anchor is missing, we can't do much in these two bubble universes…

🔇 N/A

✦

I pointed at the red crystal she was holding.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

This Ether Anchor is in our hands. Since it's the original form of the Dark Lord, and the future that magic girls would face after using the forbidden magic...

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

And it just so happens that a force is restraining evil, then...

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

We can destroy it before it becomes the Dark Lord to end the cycle of tragedy once and for all.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

What are you talking about? No!

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

But…

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

There's no buts. I said no and I mean it!

🔇 N/A

✦

Sirin held the gem closer, darted back to the ward, and slammed the door shut.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Sirin, sorry, I…

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Vollerei Senpai is still in there, Vollerei Senpai is waiting for me to save her…

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

I haven't tried, I haven't tried doing it…

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

If it's destroyed, Vollerei Senpai will…

🔇 N/A

✦

The crying stopped after a long while. The door opened a crack.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Sirin, sorry, I…

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

I haven't forgiven you.

🔇 N/A

✦

Sirin gazed at the gem in her hand with tear stains o her face.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

I tried. I thought enough dedication and sincerity could make a difference.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

But nothing happened. I can't feel any fluctuations in the Miracle Stone.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

That girl TeRiRi made me think I could do it if I was as reckless as her…

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

No, you did remarkably. Didn't your protection magic work?

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Maybe it's the first step, but I think it's a great start.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

But this isn't enough!

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Only knowing protection magic can help me recover the magical power that I once harnessed, but isn't nearly enough to help me save Vollerei Senpai and TeRiRi!

🔇 N/A

✦

I couldn't refute her. After all, this matter involved too many people, and had too many uncertainties.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Sorry... I'm just not as strong-willed as you…

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Don't mind it. It isn't the happy things that turned me into this.

🔇 N/A

✦

Maybe it was because of my self-ridicule, she gradually softened.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Aside from TeRiRi, you seem to be... worried about something else?

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

…

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

From that day on, I realized that before the Dark Lord and the cycle of tragedy…

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Even the powerful Magic Security Bureau was powerless.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

And instead of being of help to Broboli Senpai and Vollerei Senpai, magic girls like TeRiRi and I will only make them sacrifice themselves to protect us…

🔇 N/A

✦

So her pain doesn't only come from the indifference of the Bureau, but also…

🔇 N/A

✦

I knew the word would be powerlessness, but I didn't say it.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Which is why I think…

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

In the face of this colossal difficulty, rather than putting my life on the line like TeRiRi…

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

It's better to carry on their legacies and live a good life so their sacrifices aren't in vain.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

As long as I do nothing adventurous or willful, I won't lose anything again, but, but…

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

But TeRiRi…

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

You're still affected by her, right?

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

You've guessed it, haven't you? Yes, I'm the one who found out about Cerberus.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Because you too worry about her.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Yeah, of course. I go back and forth on any information I obtain, but she didn't hesitate at all to…

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

In the end, this idiot actually got her hands on the Miracle Stone.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

To protect us, Senpai became the Miracle Stone…

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

To rescue Senpai, TeRiRi found the Miracle Stone…

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

And now the Miracle Stone is in my hands, but I… but I…

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

But I can't do anything.

🔇 N/A

✦

Sirin used her sleeve to wipe her watering eyes with feigned composure.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Aren't I foolish? Haha, I thought I really grew up the day I transformed into a magical girl for the first time at the Dark Castle.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Sensible enough, calm enough, and composed enough to make every move after thorough planning.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

But growing up doesn't mean troubles and issues automatically go away.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Where can I find the answers to the problems that can't be solved by growing up?

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

…

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Wh-why are you staring at me like that?

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Hmm… I'm just thinking this is what Princess Kongming meant by "the participants cannot see the whole picture."

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Do you people on the ship talk in riddles?

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Haha, not really. I think you already know the answer, you just haven't realized it yet.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Like the situation that Twilight Paladin was in at that time.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

But the answer would become meaningless if told by others. You have to discover it yourself.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Hmph, I didn't expect you to tell me! Just you wait, I'll find a solution to this all!

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Good, that's the spirit.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Hey, are you treating me like a kid?

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

No no no, not at all.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

(I do feel much better after getting that off my chest, though.)

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

(Is this why that buffoon...)

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

(Leaving that buffoon aside, I do need to... reconsider. About magic girls, about the Miracle Stone, about... Sirin.)

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

You're finally here.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

What's wrong, Bronie? It's unlike you to look for me urgently. Did you lost a game and need my help?

🔇 N/A

✦

The hacker hit her lip and threw me a look. I immediately realized the gravity of the matter.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

We just made a new discovery.

🔇 N/A

✦

She bared the shoulder of the girl lying in the hospital bed and gestured for me to come closer.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Um... Sorry about this.

🔇 N/A

✦

When I saw two bite marks on TeRiRi's shoulders, I was dazed.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

This is… this is…

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Yes, the same as the bite marks we found on the Overseer and Twilight Paladin. After taking the situation into account, we can basically confirm that—

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Enough, Bronie.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

…

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

You lectured Sirin on life, but turns out you're the one who can't accept reality. This joke is not funny.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

You can't avoid it. When that time comes, you'll have to make a choice.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

I know. I just need to think.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Think… from beginning to end.

🔇 N/A

End
