[Yuzuki’s room]

Lil: We have a conundrum on our hands, Yuzuki-kun. Not quite driven to the wall, but still.

Yuz: The real conundrum is how you barge into my room like it’s natural, Lily.

Lil: Come on, let’s not put distance between us Hero Club OGs!

Yuz: Don’t lump us together. I wasn’t a club member, I was just your temporary helper.

Lil: Enough time passed for those things to work out.

Lil: We were summoned right at the start of our summer holidays. And in this world, all the toponyms have changed.

Yuz: I mean, this is the year 300 of the Divine Era. Kind of strange that the school is still named the same, though.

Lil: The conundrum is in how we should approach those we know are destined to die.

Yuz: Aren’t you supposed to be a great actress?

Lil: Maybe… But what face should I wear?

Yuz: From what I gathered, the people here choose to fight on even despite knowing their cruel fates.

Yuz: I think you’re worrying for nothing, Lily. History might change, you know.

Lil: Wow, what impressive positivity!

Yuz: As if, I’m at my limit just trying to keep up with this situation.

Yuz: Even if it might look like I don’t care about the others…

Lil: Nonsense, Yuzuki-kun. You care about me, right?

Yuz: Fine, let’s put it that way.

Lil: Well then, let’s get to know them better. First we’ll hit up the Yuuna Union, Yuuki-kun and the rest!

Yuz: I’ll pass on the Yuuna gathering. I’m not the same kind of Yuuna as you four.

Lil: Yuzuki-kun…

[Beach]

Yuz: …I guess I ended up here for some reason.

Nat: You heard the call of the sea, Yuzuki.

Yuz: Natsume-san. What do you mean, the call?

Nat: You’ll learn soon enough.

Nat: Wow. You’re really tall. I’m 165… You must be over 170.

Wak: You strike quite an impression standing next to each other.

Anz: Wakaba-san, you’d make the picture even better.

Anz: Yuzuki-san, how popular were you with other girls?

Yuz: Not particularly. Athletic clubs often asked for my help because of my height, though.

Wak: Ooh. The Hero Club does volunteer work in this world, as well. All to help those in trouble.

Anz: Would you join us, Yuzuki-san?

Yuz: (And the pay is… nonexistent, I guess.)

Yuz: (But it looks like Heroes get a bunch of benefits… So it’s fine.)

Yuz: I’ll probably need a lot of explanation…

Nat: Everyone does at the beginning. Relax.

Yuz: (These people don’t badmouth others… A world of difference from the real world.)

Yuz: (Heroes in every way… Too holy for me. Can I really get along with them?)

Nat: I’m sure you will.

Yuz: D-Did I say that out loud?!

Nat: No, I just felt it.

Anz: Natsume-san is so cool…

Yuz: A lot of strange people too…

[Sanshuu Middle - Courtyard]

Lil: Salutations, Tamako-kun and Gin-kun. Mind if we play together?

Tam: Sure thing. You’ve got good taste, calling out ta me.

Tam: But first, there’s one thing we gotta set straight.

Tam: Gin! Which one of us is taller?!

Gin: Uhh, I think you’re the same height.

Lil: I’m a whole 150 cm tall, just so you know.

Tam: Don’t tell anyone, but Tama’s got a whole 156 in her.

Lil: Balderdash! Try something more believable next time!

Gin: What I know for sure is that you’re both taller than me. I’m only 145… You’re so cool.

Tam: Gin, I couldn’t ask for a better underling.

Lil: To have a girl in elementary look out for me…

Gin: Lily-san, you were a child actress, so you must’ve been in TV series and commercials, right?

Lil: Yeah, and in variety shows too.

Gin: Um, can I get an autograph?

Tam: Kids her age and their hunger for autographs. Lily, will you?

Lil: I would’ve if I was still active, but it’s all in the past. I’m just a Hero Club member like the rest of you.

Lil: But since you asked so nicely, I’ll do a skit for you!

Lil: Whoa, whoa! If you don’t do what I say, I’ll turn you into hamburger!

Gin: Whoa! She’s like an entirely different person!

Tam: That is some wild acting! That’s an actress for you!

[Hero Club room]

SON: C’mon in.

Aki: You came at the right time. Let’s play a quick match.

Sek: This is a wholesome establishment where we determine our friendships through mahjong.

Lil: Mahjong. Kokushi Musou, Chuuren Poutou… So many nice-sounding phrases!

Yuz: But I don’t know the rules at all.

Sek: Sekka navigation system, at your service. Don’t worry, it’s simple.

Lil: I had a role in a TV series adaptation of a mahjong manga, so I know a little.

Lil: My skills… might shock you.

Aki: And that’s a ron.

Lil: Ueeh…

Aki: Lily-chan, your playstyle is so adorably straightforward.

Aki: Now, Yuzuki-chan… Makes me feel some pressure.

Sek: Yeah, she’s aiming for expensive hands. She’ll make it big one day.

[Chikage’s room]

Yum: Make yourself welcome. This room is for ladies who fancy some video games.

Chi: If you’re into video games… Drop by every now and then.

Lil: I played a bit when I was in a game commercial. Sorry in advance if I’m too strong.

Chi: Mid-specials connect just fine when you’re up against the wall. I win this round.

Lil: Fueeh…

Yuz: But I don’t play video games at all…

Yum: Then allow me to help you get out of the beginner bracket.

Yum: Whoa! Tough! What is this? This button mashing beginners do is too hard to deal with! Gah!

Chi: She’s got potential… Her abare timings are on point, too…

[Yuzuki’s room]

Lil: I am livid, enraged, furious!

Yuz: Try not to wreck my room, alright?

Lil: Sure must be nice being you, Yuzuki-kun, everyone was praising you!

Lil: How come I made an embarrassment of myself everywhere I’ve been today?!

Yuz: But they all loved you.

Lil: That’s not what I-

Yuz: Lily, I’ll say this tactfully - you’re an idiot.

Lil: Wha-

Yuz: So just be yourself and stop pretending to be smarter than you are.

Lil: This is too much! Waaaah!

Yuz: Look at that acting. But it doesn’t fool me anymore.

Lil: You know how they say only stupid people call others stupid?

Yuz: True enough. Guess I’m the one to speak, huh.

Lil: Come on, you have to keep the chain going, or it doesn’t wo-... Hm?

Aka: Excuse me, can I come in? Oh, Lily too! Perfect.

Tak: We’re here for a Yuuna-fying Yuuna party!

Yuu: Yuzuki-chan, we’re coming in!

Yuz: Hey, wait!

Lil: Roll out the welcome mat! Come on in, everyone.

Yuz: Lily! This is my room!

Kirameki no Shou - 21-6

[Yuzuki’s room]

Yuu: Let’s begin the Yuuna party!

Lil: Here’s to a lovely night!

Yuz: Hey, wait a moment.

Yuz: I’ll be clear with you, I don’t like the name Yuuna very much.

Yuz: People expect you to be shining in some way because of it… But I’m normal. There’s nothing special about me.

Yuz: So I’m out of this Yuuna party. Sorry for spoiling the mood. See you.

Aka: Don’t worry, don’t worry, the mood’s perfectly fine. You’re going nowhere!

Yuz: Hey! Don’t cling to me like that.

Yuu: But you are shining in all sorts of ways, Yuzuki-chan. You’re so tall and cool!

Aka: And those reflexes! Not to mention these naturally supple muscles.

Tak: And you’re so gutsy! You’re basically glowing! And a huge help as a Hero, too!

Yuz: Power…

Lil: Wow, Yuzuki-kun, they all took the words straight out of my mouth!

Lil: You did better than me everywhere we’ve been to!

Aka: Okay, do you mind if I say something really uppity?

Aka: I think you’ll gain confidence once you achieve something, Yuzuki-chan.

Lil: Exactly. Your self-esteem is too low.

Lil: So let’s do our best and power ourselves up in the Hero Club!

Yuu: You’re likely to succeed if you try!

Yuz: …

Yuz: It sounds a bit forced, but I kind of get it…

Yuz: Fine, it’s not like worrying will get me out of this world. I’ll do it!

Yuu: Nice guts!

Tak: Well, one more time then! Cheers!

Yuz: (I don’t like the name Yuuna, but I think I like these girls.)

Yuz: (Lily is uh, a different case…)
