Start

✦

…

🔇 N/A

✦

After traveling for some time, the band came to a rotunda that was several times more spacious.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Oh~ No wonder the Dark Lord didn't use the Miracle Stone against the magical girls.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

For a collector the more they like something, the more the more they treasure it.

🔇 N/A

✦

They eyed the gems all over the place curiously—despite having been damaged, they still shone with the luster unique to gems, which continued to attract their attention.

🔇 N/A

✦

But someone soon discovered the most special thing in the rotunda.

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

Is the one over there...

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Yeah.

🔇 N/A

✦

TeRiRi carefully walked up the steps and, in the softest voice possible, greeted the only platform in the hall that was paved with pure white gems.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

It's been a while, Vollerei Senpai.

🔇 N/A

✦

The slumbering girl didn't respond.

🔇 N/A

✦

Breathing lightly, she slept as peacefull as at every night that came before.

🔇 N/A

✦

TeRiRi lowered her head and gazed at the raven-haired girl, whose body was nearly translucent.

🔇 N/A

✦

The dreamy foam that constantly escaped her body was a sign of her vulnerability.

🔇 N/A

✦

As cupped sand would slip through fingers, whoever taking her away would bear the cost of losing her.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

✦

"In sight but out of reach." This is too cruel for you both.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Yeah. If I can't find the Miracle Stone, Vollerei Senpai will sooner later turn into these particles in her sleep… and finally turn into the Dark Lord.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

(In her sleep…)

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Oh, I see.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

✦

What did you find out?

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Fufu, simply something interesting.

🔇 N/A

✦

The blue butterfly flapped its wings and gently landed beside the lips of the raven-haired girl.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Ah, are you going to…

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Don't worry, l just want you to see it—

🔇 N/A

< Screen fades to white. >

Rita

✦

See the nature of this foam.

🔇 N/A

???

✦

Wakey wakey, Vollerei.

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

…

🔇 N/A

???

✦

If you don't get up, you'll be late.

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

Then so be it. I don't want to go to school any way.

🔇 N/A

???

✦

But I don't know how to solve yesterday's problem yet…

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

Then ask a good student. Is she called Broboli? Surely she can help you.

🔇 N/A

???

✦

But you haven't even talked to her since school started.

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

That… that's because I'm busy.

🔇 N/A

???

✦

Okay, if you’re so busy, I'll solve it on my own.

🔇 N/A

???

✦

I just don't know how many days it'll take.

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

…

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

Don't give me the puppy eyes, okay, okay, I'll go! As for Broboli... I'll try talking to her.

🔇 N/A

???

✦

Really? Thank you!

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

No need to say that between us.

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

…

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

Seriously, l think you should be controlling this body, not me.

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

I don’t care about the outside world. You, on the other hand, can't keep it out of your head. You're like a kitten that wants to touch everything she sees.

🔇 N/A

???

✦

Haha.

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

Don’t laugh. I know how much you want to come out.

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

… Even if it's for a day.

🔇 N/A

???

✦

Yeah, I do want to come out. I want to go to school with you, make friends, graduate, and become a competent magical girl.

🔇 N/A

???

✦

But if the price is making you the same as I am now, then I'd rather not. Besides… you're the one who should be feeling this world.

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

You—

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

Why?

🔇 N/A

???

✦

Doesn't Vollerei think letting someone who hasn't discovered the beauty of the world feel that beauty is more meaningful?

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

…

🔇 N/A

< Screen fades to black. >

Vollerei

✦

(Alright, you win.)

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

Is this... Vollerei's memory?

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

It's her residual dream, to be exact.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

When magical girls dream, they generate dream particles. Rita probably linked her dream particles and pieced together a memory, that’s all.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Indeed but if you knew about it, why didn't you do it?

🔇 N/A

✦

TeRiRi touched her nose unnaturally, seemingly embarrassed.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

The teacher d-didn’t teach us... nor let us learn.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

But this is super cool.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

It's not like that, Bronie.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Just think about it. A sleeping magical girl can't cast this magic on herself. What's worse, casting it on other sleeping magical girls equals...equals peeping.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

This is why it's an unspoken forbidden magic.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Fufu, then what are your thoughts on the other voice in Miss Vollerei's dream?

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

I don't know, she's never mentioned her to me. And I didn't know she hated school so much…

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

When I enrolled in school, she and Broboli Senpai were already the most powerful reserve magical girls in everyone's eyes.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Your Vollerei Senpai has actually been acting for someone else in her body all along, without anyone else knowing it?

🔇 N/A

✦

"A girl with another person living inside her." This description stunned Delta.

🔇 N/A

✦

It was a little lonely, and a little sad.

🔇 N/A

✦

Delta, who become indifferent to the joys and sorrows of others from a certain point onward, was suddenly hit by a strange feeling.

🔇 N/A

✦

It had nothing to do with the mission and her interests. She only wanted to help the girls named Vollerei in front of her.

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

TeRiRi, would you mind if we continue to read Vollerei's dream?

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

As you said, this memory is her secret.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

It’s a bit rude but that doesn't matter now. We may find new clues this way.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Of course, after she wakes up, I'll apologize to her!

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

I need you to… trouble you with linking her dream particles. Is that okay?

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Oh my, you've never spoken to me so politely.

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

…

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

Rita, please help us.

🔇 N/A

✦

This time, Delta took on a more sincere tone.

🔇 N/A

✦

…

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

Huff…

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

Dammit, where are these monsters coming from? There's no end to them!

🔇 N/A

???

✦

Don't be afraid, Vollerei will win.

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

Of course!

🔇 N/A

< Screen fades to black. >

✦

…

🔇 N/A

✦

…………

🔇 N/A

✦

Incantations, gestures, mana bursts, the girl repeated the same routine over and over again.

🔇 N/A

???

✦

It feels good to fight alongside you.

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

Cut it out, haven't you always fought alongside me?

🔇 N/A

???

✦

Haha, yeah.

🔇 N/A

< Screen fades to black. >

✦

…

🔇 N/A

✦

…………

🔇 N/A

✦

Monsters were still pouring in, yet the power of her magic did not falter.

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

Huff... Do you remember? When we first attended the field training class, the target machine broke.

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

Not knowing this, I took out three people's worth of targets.

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

TeRiRi said nobody has broken this record yet.

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

But once I get back, I'll set a new record.

🔇 N/A

???

✦

Heheh, you don't say!

🔇 N/A

< Screen fades to black. >

✦

…

🔇 N/A

✦

…………

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

Hoo... Haa…

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

I knew the Dark Lord can't be defeated easily.

🔇 N/A

???

✦

Sirin and TeRiRi should've withdrawn from the castle. I hope they're alright.

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

…

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

They'll be fine.

🔇 N/A

???

✦

Vollerei, are you really…

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

I promised Broboli that whoever lived to face the Dark Lord would use this magic. Looks like I'm the lucky one.

🔇 N/A

???

✦

But you know that magic will…

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

I don't have a choice, do I? Ha, at least we come in two, this will surely take the Dark Lord by surprise.

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

After I use that magic, you can take full control of this body. By that time, the Dark Lord's dead, you walk out of this castle, and everyone's happy.

🔇 N/A

???

✦

Why would everyone be happy?! You'll be gone! You've done so much for me, yet I haven't even thanked you properly...

🔇 N/A

???

✦

I'm only an incomplete soul. Had you not shared your life with me, I'd never have the chance to take in the beauty of this world.

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

I suppose that's because a certain someone is way too talkative... making the world less boring.

🔇 N/A

???

✦

If it weren't for me, you'd have become much stronger, being able to defeat the Dark Lord alone without using that horrible magic.

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

Don't say that. I don't like hearing it.

🔇 N/A

???

✦

Vollerei…

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

Look, you should be thinking about how to enjoy this world after getting out.

🔇 N/A

< Screen fades to black. >

✦

…

🔇 N/A

✦

…………

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

Hey, what's happening? What did you do?

🔇 N/A

???

✦

Heheh, am I... finally... helpful... this time...?

🔇 N/A

???

✦

I'm not as strong as you... so I can only... bear some costs for you…

🔇 N/A

???

✦

This way... you will only slumber... and be awakened one day... to start a new life…

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

What about you? What will happen to you? Will you wake up again? Nobody but me knows your existence, who will wake you up?!

🔇 N/A

???

✦

………………

🔇 N/A

Vollerei

✦

Hey, answer me, hey!

🔇 N/A

< Screen fades to black. >

Vollerei

✦

Seele...!

🔇 N/A

✦

The residual dream ended there.

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

To let one live, the other chose to become her "firewood".

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

And the one who lived ultimately made the same choice to protect the other.

🔇 N/A

✦

A bone-deep cold suddenly invaded her body, as with the day she ran away with her in the snow.

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

This kind of thing happens everywhere.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Delta… you don't look so good.

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

I’m fine. You must feel worse.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Yeah, but at least we have a remedy.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Rita, please go on.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Very well.

🔇 N/A

< Screen fades to white. >

✦

…

🔇 N/A

✦

The tiny bubbles of dream converged again, but this time, they showed a scene beyond expectations.

🔇 N/A

???

✦

Little one, are you okay?

🔇 N/A

Girl

✦

I'm okay! Thank you, Twilight Paladin!

🔇 N/A

Twilight Paladin

✦

There are many bad guys around here recently. But don't you worry, I'll take care of them all!

🔇 N/A

Girl

✦

Yay! But before you go, could you please sign me an autograph? With this, I won't be scared of being picked on anymore!

🔇 N/A

Twilight Paladin

✦

Of course.

🔇 N/A

Twilight Paladin

✦

How about I teach you some secret moves? If you learn them, I promise nobody will dare pick on you.

🔇 N/A

✦

Under the warm yellow street light, the vigilante planted a seed of courage in the little girl's heart.

🔇 N/A

✦

Getting a job that could bring hope and goodness to others happened to be the most important part of her vision.

🔇 N/A

???

✦

A believing heart is your strength!

🔇 N/A

???

✦

Come sparkle with me!

🔇 N/A

Audience

✦

OHHHHHHHHHH!

🔇 N/A

Audience

✦

Theresa! I'm your biggest fan!

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

Thank you for your support! I'll continue to do my best!

🔇 N/A

✦

Amidst the vibrant lights and endless cheers, the idol named Theresa began tising her next song.

🔇 N/A

✦

This was her most famous song, and the only song hacker Bronie could sing.

🔇 N/A

???

✦

Hmm... workday's finally over. What should I do for the next two days?

🔇 N/A

???

✦

Let me see, I need to video call my niece to supervise her culinary studies, tutor the sisters in general knowledge, and write the prep school plan…

🔇 N/A

???

✦

It's hard work being the Overseer... I've missed a few issues of Girl Run.

🔇 N/A

???

✦

I gotta find half a day this weekend to read comics!

🔇 N/A

✦

Sitting at the desk piled with documents was a girl rambling about things that only concerned adults.

🔇 N/A

✦

But Rita the witch knew this girl shouldered a future far beyond what the common people could imagine.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Wait!

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Th-these girls… Why do they look so familiar?

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

And this is Vollerei's dream, why is someone else in it?

🔇 N/A

✦

The girl covered her head in distress. The residual dream just now was as vivid as the reality in another world.

🔇 N/A

✦

And each of these lives, she had imagined in her childhood. Despite that, even she couldn’t tell whether it was her imagination or a dreamed illusion.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Rita, what’s this about?

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

I’m sorry, I’m unable to tell the source of these impurities mixed together with Miss Vollerei’s dream particles.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

I assume this is related to that war years ago. To be more exact, the last people on Miss Vollerei's mind... were likely you and Sirin.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

(Or…)

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

But intuition isn’t very convincing.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Which is to say we need to turn to that person. Again.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

I think Master Kongming will be glad to help.

🔇 N/A

✦

She said so hesitantly, eyes flashing with an elusive light.

🔇 N/A

✦

The hacker sighed and made a call to Kongming.

🔇 N/A

Kongming

✦

What? Have another favor to ask?

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Yeah, the great Kongming-sama, this is a puzzle only you can solve!

🔇 N/A

Kongming

✦

You! Don't talk in such a funny tone! Cut to the chase, I'm a busy woman.

🔇 N/A

✦

Seeing Bronie wanted to tease her some more, Rita chimed in timely and told Kongming what had happened in great detail.

🔇 N/A

Kongming

✦

… How bizarre.

🔇 N/A

Kongming

✦

Your explanation has given me ideas. But to sort them into an accurate answer would take some time.

🔇 N/A

Kongming

✦

Before that, feel free to move onward without any misgivings.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Got it, Lady Kongming~

🔇 N/A

Kongming

✦

I told you not to speak to me in that tone—

🔇 N/A

< Defeat the Evil-Eyed Gargoyle. Story resumes after the stage is cleared. >

Bronie

✦

Trackers, call Kongming for me.

🔇 N/A

✦

--

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Okay, looks like our Lady Kongming is back to staring at stars.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

So now we have to make our own decision, TeRiRi.

🔇 N/A

✦

The girl snapped her fingers. On her order, her mechanical partner flew forward and illuminated the road ahead in a way that couldn’t be explained by magic.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Here are three paths, and we have three choices.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Wait for Kongming’s reply, pick one path, or... take every path?

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

…

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Don't you two agree?

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

✦

Of course.

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

Yeah.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Thank you... l'll be straight, then.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

I want us to split up and take every path. If we wait here, we’ll only be attacked by more magical creatures.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

As for how to contact each other after entering the passage, I have a solution.

🔇 N/A

✦

With that said‚ she took out three delicate crystal balls from her waist bag.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

I've cast positioning and connecting magic on them, so they'll automatically synchronize their surroundings to the other two every minute.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Meanwhile, their light represents the distance between us. If their holders move too far away from each other, their light will gradually fade out.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

So should anything happen, you must immediately run back here.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

About splitting into groups, what are your thoughts on this?

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

It’d be best if Bronie and TeRiRi team up. This way, if Master Kongming makes a discovery, it can be passed on to us timely.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

As for me—

🔇 N/A

✦

She intentionally glanced at Delta. The girl was "carelessly" kicking a stone by her feet.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

I’ll team up with Miss Kasumi.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

✦

No objection.

🔇 N/A

✦

After splitting into groups, each group took a crystal ball and entered the pitch-black passage.

🔇 N/A

✦

—

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

This passage sure is long. I wonder how the others are doing.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

We just synced 13 seconds ago. The passages look pretty much the same.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Haha, yeah, what was I talking about.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

…

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

TeRiRi, are you getting nervous again?

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Just a little. Although people say the Dark Lord is no more, everything that’s happened on our journey is inextricably linked to it.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Ah, sorry… I said something weird all of a sudden.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

But whatever it takes‚ I must carry out this plan successfully.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

It's okay, I understand your feelings. l acted with the same idea in mind a long time ago.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

But my… my big sister told me that "The plan can fail, but you must come back in one piece.”

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

In this respect, Sirin has actually always—

🔇 N/A

< Screen fades to black. >

✦

The crystal ball and Trackers suddenly went out.

🔇 N/A

✦

Along with it came a chilling dead silence and an increasing heart rate.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

…

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

B... Bronie?

🔇 N/A

✦

TeRiRi called to her partner and waved her hand to cast a spell.

🔇 N/A

✦

A weak light emerged from the tip of the wand, yet she didn't see Bronie's trace in this small space.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Maybe Bronie triggered a trap and entered a hidden room?

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

No, if that really happened, she wouldn't have stayed quiet. I didn't hear the sound of a trap activating.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Everything... happened in an instant.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

As if... as if…

🔇 N/A

✦

As if being swallowed by an enormous creature invisible to the naked eye.

🔇 N/A

✦

She felt a chill run down her spine. She retracted her hand on the wall and placed it atop her other to double her clutch on the wand, which was her only source of security.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

So it wasn't Bronie who disappeared…

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

But…

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Myself?

🔇 N/A

✦

The girl shivered, remembering her advice to the others before setting out.

🔇 N/A

✦

"So should anything happen, you must immediately run back here."

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Huff, huff…

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

No, I won't step back.

🔇 N/A

✦

A rather solid premonition pierced the fear that filled her heart.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

If burning for others is the fate of magical girls…

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Then I'll burn.

🔇 N/A

✦

Although her legs were shaking, and she couldn't straighten her body, she still walked toward a darker blackness.

🔇 N/A

< Screen fades to white. >

✦

Meanwhile—

🔇 N/A

✦

In the colossal warship that always sailed the Sea of Quanta, the girl with a similar countenance made a similar decision.

🔇 N/A

Kongming

✦

All is well.

🔇 N/A

✦

The girl rather solemnly folded a paper covered with writing two times and placed it on the opposite side of the chess board, where a certain someone would certainly see it.

🔇 N/A

✦

Then she slowly rose to her feet and looked to a shadow.

🔇 N/A

Kongming

✦

Do you think you can stop me by standing there?

🔇 N/A

???

✦

Stay on the ship—you know this is the only safe place for you.

🔇 N/A

Kongming

✦

Am I a coward who only attends to herself to you? Since we both know what we will face, we might as well address the source of the problem.

🔇 N/A

???

✦

Aren't you scared?

🔇 N/A

Kongming

✦

Going from a player to a pawn... I've done this many times.

🔇 N/A

Kongming

✦

And have never failed.

🔇 N/A

???

✦

If you lose a game of chess whose stake is your life, you will have nothing left.

🔇 N/A

Kongming

✦

Fufu, but I already have nothing to lose.

🔇 N/A

Kongming

✦

You should know this well.

🔇 N/A

???

✦

…

🔇 N/A

Kongming

✦

Enough talking. Let's go.

🔇 N/A

End
