Start

✦

The rusted iron gates were pushed open. The broken bricks and tiles everywhere silently attested to the brutality of that battle.

🔇 N/A

✦

Sirin walked ahead. Nobody spoke on the way.

🔇 N/A

✦

Half an hour ago, she put forward a proposal we didn't anticipate.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

We can end this tragic cycle by destroying this rock, right?

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

Do you know what you're talking about?

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Of course I do.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

There have always been more than two options, and you know that too.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

I've been bad at making decisions. If both options are equally undesirable, why don't l just give up?

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

I've screwed so many things up, I can afford one more. I'm far weaker than Vollerei Senpai, and too weak to save anything, so I might as well destroy it... and end it once and for all.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

I'll do it at... the Dark Lord's castle, which is far away from the city center. That place's already in ruins, so even if I fail, it won't be too much of an impact.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

✦

…

🔇 N/A

✦

That ninja appeared to want to say something, but said nothing at all.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

This is it.

🔇 N/A

✦

Sirin stopped walking.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

I'll be over in the rotunda, injecting all my power into the stone to destroy it. If it all goes well, it might attract nearby magical creatures, so I'm troubling you with the fighting.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

✦

Just leave it to us.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

If I succeed, Bronie will detect a change in TeRiRi's vitals. If I fail... please don't hold back.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

You've all got bigger things to do, right? Don't waste more time on me.

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

Hey, stop being a major idiot!

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

It's not a waste of time, Miss Sirin. Don't forget we've formed a partnership since the beginning.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

It's you who investigated the leads about Theresa with us. It's you who unraveled the nature of this stone.

🔇 N/A

Captain

✦

Surely you're aware of how indispensable you are to our team.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Don't be so hard on yourself, Sirin. If it doesn't work, we can figure out another way together.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

We will wait for your return, Miss Sirin.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

I hate this... Why are you always so kind…

🔇 N/A

✦

Sirin rubbed her eyes, and when she looked up again, she tried to smile in front of us for the first time.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Thank you all, and thank... you.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Then... I'll be off.

🔇 N/A

< Screen fades to black. >

✦

I could tell she was still hesitant from her steps, but she didn't look back once.

🔇 N/A

✦

Sirin walked through the slant broken walls, across the moonlight-speckled ground, and toward the collapsed castle.

🔇 N/A

✦

Toward that darkness.

< Screen fades to white. >

✦

A soft white brushed her consciousness gently like a feather.

🔇 N/A

✦

It felt like someone poked her face, then mischievously pinched her nose.

🔇 N/A

???

✦

Hey, Sirin…

🔇 N/A

✦

This touch feels too real.

🔇 N/A

???

✦

Wake up, I brought you the book.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Huh?

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

You look so pale. Dummy, when was the last time you took a break?

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Vollerei Senpai…

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

Why the face? Aren't you happy to see me? I'll go then.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

No, I'm very happy... I…

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

So honest? I thought you'd snap your head to the side and say "am not" gruffly. I can't believe how much you've changed since then.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

… Am not.

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

Haha~ But a closer look shows me you've grown thinner and taller? This desk looks smaller in comparison.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

You... don't seem to be surprised to see me here.

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

What's surprising about this? I know not only you'd come, but also you've been calling me a liar in your mind.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

…

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

Quiet again. Did I Speak your mind?

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

Okay, I'll admit I lied to you and locked you out back then. Not the most elegant move, but you can't blame it all on me.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

But we're friends!

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

We could've worked it out together, faced it together... I know to you we're useless juniors, but even a little help from us might've made a difference.

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

Pfft~ It's been so long since I last saw you puff your cheeks.

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

"What can two fresh graduates do in this major event?" You must believe that's what I thought, right?

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Isn't that so?

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

Of course not.

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

You and TeRiRi are smart and fast learners. You lacked field experience, but you were able to follow closely until the last minute. That's a real feat.

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

Broboli said we must save a trump card for everything. I know what being a magical girl means. Broboli and I aren't planning to sit around.

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

Under the circumstances, we could only trust our friends. Therefore, you and TeRiRi aren't "useless juniors", but the precious trump cards we saved for tomorrow.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

But... I'm not a qualified trump card! I'm still not strong enough to defeat the Dark Lord or save you... I could only think of a terrible solution, I...

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

What do people say, dummies will be dummies.

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

You've never acknowledged yourself, have you? Even though you came first in the graduation exam and acquired a new power, you're still hesitant and scared of taking a step forward.

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

What are you hesitating for, Sirin?

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

…

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

Okay, we've talked long enough. Go. Broboli and TeRiRi are waiting for you.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Broboli Senpai is here too?

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

Duh, why would I leave my friend's soul in a hellhole? Don't you know? For a magical girl, so long as her soul is kept in a vessel, she isn't considered dead.

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

So even if you break this stone into powder, so long as you remember us, we won't disappear. Now you can finally stride forward without misgivings, eh?

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Liar...

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Vollerei Senpai, you're a liar!

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

Why are you crying all of a sudden? Not this, I'm bad with kids... Now, now, don't cry.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

I'm not a kid. Stop lying to me.

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

Okay, I promise to never lie to you again. Once we meet Broboli and TeRiRi, you gotta look happier, or they'll accuse me of bullying you.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Right.

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

Then... smile for me?

🔇 N/A

✦

She bit her lip. Meekly yet strainedly, she smiled.

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

Well that looks horrible.

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

Go forward, Sirin, don’t make them wait too long.

🔇 N/A

< Head towards the waypoint. >

Before the Endless Dream Ends Context 18

< Interact with Broboli. >

Broboli

✦

Hi, Sirin, long time no see.

🔇 N/A

✦

Sirin unconsciously reached out to touch her arm.

🔇 N/A

✦

It felt hard and cold.

🔇 N/A

Broboli

✦

Hey, I actually exist.

🔇 N/A

✦

Broboli pinched Sirin's cheek.

🔇 N/A

Broboli

✦

The tip of your nose and your eyes are red... Did you cry? Did Vollerei bully you again?

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Oh no, not at all, I was just extremely happy... How much time do we have left?

🔇 N/A

Broboli

✦

Enough for us to have a chat.

🔇 N/A

Broboli

✦

Since you're here, I assume you read the textbooks we left. Is there anything you want to know? Such as why we didn't choose to destroy but to use the forbidden magic?

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Because you're hoping we could find another solution?

🔇 N/A

Broboli

✦

Clever, but not entirely correct.

🔇 N/A

Broboli

✦

The correct answer is, this seed is at its weakest when the Dark Lord is slumbering. The problem is, everyone is strained from simply maintaining the balance, and doesn‘t have the energy left to destroy it.

🔇 N/A

Broboli

✦

Luckily, you came.

🔇 N/A

Broboli

✦

Maybe that perfect solution never existed, but that fact that you made it here means our gamble paid off. Magic girls will welcome a tomorrow when they're truly free.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Then... how can I destroy the seed?

🔇 N/A

Broboli

✦

See that transparent greenhouse out front? It houses the core of the seed. Its glass protects it from our power.

🔇 N/A

Broboli

✦

If my assumption is correct, it should still be wilted. We should be able to destroy it easily once we get inside the greenhouse.

🔇 N/A

Broboli

✦

We'll continue to maintain the balance of power until you succeed. Just focus on your task.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Um, I have another question...

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Will everyone hurt when the seed is destroyed?

🔇 N/A

Broboli

✦

Hmm... It won't be very painful. I promise it's like falling asleep. If I had to describe it, it'd feel like this?

🔇 N/A

✦

Broboli flicked Sirin's forehead lightly.

🔇 N/A

Broboli

✦

Sirin, it's good to see you again.

🔇 N/A

< Head towards the waypoint. >

Before the Endless Dream Ends Context 19

< Interact with TeRiRi. >

TeRiRi

✦

You've seen them, haven't you? Are you surprised?

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

To be honest, I wasn't expecting you. Now that we're all here, it's starting to feel like a class reunion.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Ah, yes, do you remember that photo? The one we took together when you graduated? We only took one photo and I took it. It's been standing on my bedside table ever since.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Now it's yours.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Oh yeah, and this…

🔇 N/A

✦

TeRiRi opened a book and took out a translucent card.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Before the graduation exam, didn't I say I'd give you something that'd make you super powerful?

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Ta-da! It's this bookmark. At that time you looked under the weather, so me and my senior wanted to make you an amulet. We even painted a special blessing on it.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

But only half of it remains. I don't know where the other half went…

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

I'm sorry, TeRiRi.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Huh?

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

I'm sorry. If only I went to the castle with you that night...

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Oh, it's fine. Actually, you were right that there's no Miracle Stone.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

If I listened to you in the very beginning, quit the Magic Security Bureau and left, maybe things wouldn't have come to this.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

But if that was the case, we wouldn't have the chance to see Vollerei Senpai and Broboli Senpai again.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

That's right. So there's nothing to regret about, right?

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Right.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Tee-hee. I feel so strange right now. We haven't had a nice chat like this for heaven-knows-how-long.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Sorry to have avoided you. It's just that, every time I see you, I recall my senpais...

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

I've long forgiven you. We're best friends after all! You always act cold and tough, but I know your heart is softer than anyone else's.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Ah, are you going to the greenhouse? Take this bookmark with you. Technically, it's only half of the bookmark, but it might come in handy.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

I know it will.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

You can do it, Sirin!

Before the Endless Dream Ends Context 21

Sirin

✦

How come there is a butterfly here? It got swept in?

🔇 N/A

Narrator

✦

The blue buttefly quietly sat there and didn't leave.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Weird. It's like Vollerei Senpai is watching me... I'll just keep going.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

You’ll all be watching me, right?

🔇 N/A

✦

…

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

I didn't think I'd make this far.

🔇 N/A

✦

The place was quieter than she imagined. She could only hear her own heart beating nervously.

🔇 N/A

✦

In the empty greenhouse, there was only one crooked, leafless tree. Apparently, it had been dead for years, and could be snapped like a twig.

🔇 N/A

✦

Only when she got closer did she notice a dark red light coursing under its trunk.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

It's finally ending...

🔇 N/A

✦

Vollerei, Broboli, and TeRiRi were no longer visible in the greenhouse. Sirin took a deep breath and concentrated her magic on her palm.

🔇 N/A

✦

An all-out blow!

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Strange, nothing happened.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

No way... That much power wasn't enough?

🔇 N/A

✦

She closed her eyes, recalled what she learned in school, and channeled the magic throughout her body—

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

I'll... fell you!

🔇 N/A

✦

The dead tree stood still.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Impossible... How can I not be able to do this! I promised them…

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn itttttttt!

🔇 N/A

✦

She concentrated magic over and over again, and failed over and over again, until her hand was covered in cuts, until she was exhausted.

🔇 N/A

???

✦

"Dumb Sirin only cries and walks behind others! She isn't fit to be a magical girl!"

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Who's there?

🔇 N/A

???

✦

"Nobody expected a worthless idiot to do anything."

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

Get out!

🔇 N/A

???

✦

Hoohoo, what a baby. Already angry?

🔇 N/A

???

✦

Oh my, "I promised them, but I can't."

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

It's you... Sirin.

🔇 N/A

Sirin

✦

You always call others liars, but have you realized that you’re the biggest liar?

🔇 N/A
