- p1
- >Melua's not here...
- >>Great Detective Utaho
- >Hmm. According to my powers of deduction...
- >>There's no evidence of her going outside or even changing her clothes, her Alternaphone's not here and the person herself is nowhere to be found.
- >it appears she's gone to Alterna!
- p3
- >Earth: In front of the Otherworld Research Center
- >You're Kurami Riku, right?
- >Kurami Riku - Earthling
- >...Who are you?
- p4
- >Ah.
- >...Wait, I recognise you.
- >You're one of Melua's school friends that I've seen in photos...
- >I'm Aida Elulu.
- >I've been getting along well with those two.
- >Ooh!
- >I knew it! Nice to meet you~!
- >Same here. Sorry for speaking to you so suddenly.
- >It's fine. I've been wanting to hear about how those girls have been doing at school.
- >...
- >Sorry,
- >but I didn't come here for idle chitchat.
- >My business
- >concerns this "plan" that you lot are working on.
- p5
- >...
- >Where did you hear about that?
- >I got it from a somewhat reliable source.
- >Scary~!
- >I-I'm not trying to blackmail you or anything.
- >I just wanted to talk with...
- >Who was it...?
- >...I want... to talk with you, so could you spare a little time...?
- >Somewhat frightened.
- p6
- >Reincarnation.
- >Alterna - Latoha Kingdom - Castle Town
- >I tried texting Melua, but she hasn't responded...
- >I guess I should tell Riku-san about Melua just to be safe.
- >H-Hey! The lady over there!
- p7
- >Care for an elegant adventure drive with me?
- >Seto Nico - Earthling
- >>Friendship for Capable Adults
- >...
- >...Were you perhaps waiting for me?
- >N-No! I just happened to see you by chance...!
- >I screwed up...! And after all that practice too...!
- >Ahem.
- >Oh yeah, Utaho-san. Have there been any developments with Melua-san since last time?
- >Yeah, about that...
- p8
- >Eeeeeeeeeh
- >Melua-san is missing~!?
- >Any idea where she went...?
- >Nope.
- >She hasn't responded to my texts either.
- >That's why I came here to look for her.
- >...! In that case, allow me to help you!
- >Eh?
- >Why? It's not a request and I'm not offering a reward.
- >I-I'm not doing it for an ulterior motive like that!
- p9
- >It's because we're friends!
- >I want to lend you my aid too, Utaho-san.
- >>Friendship for Capable Adults
- >...Seto Nico, why are you...
- >?
- >...No, it's nothing.
- >Given the circumstances, I'll try asking Bea for her help too.
- >Sure!
- >She says she'll be here soon.
- >As I'd expect from my personal maid.
- >Well then, let's wait here for a moment...
- >Master~!! Seto Nico-sama~!!
- p10
- >Your loyal maid Bea has arrived~!
- >That was fast!! And just look at that outfit!!
- >>Bea - Otherworlder
- >O-Oooh...
- >Why the swimsuit?
- >I was just finishing up a request in the Land of Everlasting Summer(note)
- >You came here without changing...!?
- p11
- >Hawawa...
- >I'm so sorry! I'll get changed right away...!
- >It's fine.
- >In fact, let's all wear swimsuits.
- >What are you saying??
- >In order to cut through the possibilities,
- >you need both common sense and the unexpected.
- >That's my master! That truly is the truth of this world(note)
- >What kind of argument is that...?
- >So with that said, the uniform for the Melua Search Party will be swimsuits.
- >Understood!
- >Wh-Why did it come to this...?
- >Aah.
- >Of course, you'll be wearing one too, Seto Nico.
- >Eh?
- >Eh... Eeeh~!?
- p12
- >And then...
- >Hold on. I got a text from Utaho.
- >What is it?
- >...It seems Melua has gone missing.
- >!
- >Hey, you don't mean...
- >Yes. It means our chief is making her move.
- >I was originally supposed to hand her over when the time came, after all.
- p13
- >...So?
- >What's your objective here,
- >Aida Elulu-san?
- >Don't tell me
- >you're also after their "power"?
- >No.
- >I wish for nothing more than to remain friends with them.
- >In that case...
- >...
- >I've been thinking long and hard about how I should approach you,
- >but I'll just come out and say it.
- >I want you to join me
- >in protecting Utaho and Melua from this plan.
- >!
- p14
- >...Why are you asking me?
- >Because I believe that's what you desire.
- >Despite how I look, I'm a long-lived elf.
- >I've got an eye for people.
- >Hm... Regrettable...
- >...There are exceptions, though.
- >Hmph.
- >Sorry, but your intuition's way off.
- >I told you, didn't I? My role as their guardian was nothing more than a grace period as part of the plan.
- >Do you really mean that?
- >...Of course I do.
- >...Then why
- p15
- >do you look like you're in pain?
- >Ng...!
- >Don't be stupid! This is...!
- >You've had that look ever since you heard Melua was missing.
- >Even if you were doing it for the plan at first,
- >it's not unusual for you to have a change of heart.
- >...No, from the very beginning,
- >the artficial grace period that was created for the plan...
- >was probably something that you yourself...
- p16
- >So what...!?
- >I'm someone who can only delay the inevitable
- >because rebelling won't accomplish anything!
- >Someone who hides the truth
- >and fools others into thinking we're family!
- >There's no way
- >someone like me can call them my precious family after all this time...!
- p17
- >...Even so,
- >losing what's precious without doing anything to stop would just be sad.
- >These days here...
- >The light of the sun
- >and the glimmer of the stars
- >are both indespensable.
- >I don't want to let go of that relationship... until the bitter end...!
- p18
- >Y'know, for a long-lived elf,
- >you sure sound like a daydreaming brat.
- >Sorry, but I don't plan to go along with your selfishness.
- >Despite how I look, I'm adult.
- >...I'm done here.
- >If you wanna protect those girls, do whatever you want.
- >Kurami Riku...!
- p19
- >...However,
- >since you're their friend and all, I'll tell you one thing.
- >!
- >If that fastidious woman really has taken Melua,
- >then if all is going to plan,
- >they should currently be heading towards the foot of the magic crystal mountain located underneath the magic circle.
- >The place known as "The Star's Corpse".
- >...Well,
- >it wouldn't be so troublesome if someone like that could stop you.
- >...
- >...Whaddaya know.
- >Speaking as a long-lived elf,
- >you're pretty childish yourself.
- p20
- >Alterna - Latoha Kingdom - Outskirts
- >You're... the chief of the Otherworld Research Center...
- >Melua Solaris.
- >Come with me if you want to know everything.
- p21
- >Now then.
- >Kirashiba Touka - Earthling (Alterna form)
- >Enough playing around.
- p22
- >Let's venture forth in search of Melua!
