Kirameki no Shou 13 - 1

[Hero Club room]

Yos: The sun has already set. One of this world's more unsettling features.

Aki: Just think of it as additional sleep time, alright?

Fuu: Ahaha, Masuzu, you've got some high girl power. We're going to be good friends, I just know it.

Yos: You're right, there's not much we can do about this darkness. It's just as Inubouzaki Fuu-sama said.

Aki: Pretty sure I was the one who said that...

???:  Night is the symbol of the great neutral god. Not only is it not unsettling, but a sacred time.

Yuu: Ooh, you could put it that way too! Sacred, huh. Roger-dodger.

Yuu: Wait, who are you!? Wowzers!

Sek: What kind of shady stranger appears so suddenly!? Surround them, you lot!

Mit: Akihara-san, by the way, you appeared exactly the same the first time around...

Sek: Really? Well, whoopsie.

Ren: You know the word "neutral god".  Heh. So you're a helper of ours, yes?

???: I'm a Miko.

Hin: Miko reinforcements? But I've heard nothing about it...

Mis: A Miko of the great neutral god, and a friend of yours. Tenma Misaki, nice to meet you.

Tak: Oh, thank you kindly, I'm Takashima Yuuna!

Tak: Wait, Miko of the neutral god!?

Mis: Ahaha, how polite. I feel strong divine energy from you.

Tak: R-Right... Thank you very much?

Aka: If the god sent a mouthpiece to us... Hmm.

Aka: If you ask me, the rebelling god's Hero, this is a sign that the trial is going to the next stage.

Mis: Now, now, no need to be so on guard. I'll explain everything, so could you gather everyone?

Kir: Some people are outside doing club stuff. They'll come when they're done, so ya just wait a little, alrighty?

Yuu: Okay then, have yourself a cuppa!

Kir: Yukki, what's with the weird way of speaking?

Yuu: Oh, sorry, I'm kind of hooked on talking that way lately...

Mis: Thanks for the tea. I'll wait patiently. The atmosphere in this place is exceptionally sacred. A lovely place.

[Shopping district]

Tam: Night comes way too fast, jeez. Though night is pretty cool in its own way.

Suz: Would be nice to just go have fun somewhere right about now, chirp chirp.

Tou: Looks like someone's hale and hearty.

Kar: Su-zu-me! The club activities aren't over until you go back and report after helping!

Suz: Her reprimand feels like Mebu's...

Aya: They're good friends, so maybe their personalities are similar?

???: Charge!

Tam: Whoa! Where'd that come from. Are you a fan of Tama? Aah, an autograph? One tamoment.

Anz:  Aah, Renge-san rubbed off on Tamacchi-senpai and made her start practicing autographs...

???: Not really a fan, I'm here for an interview. Mind if I shoot a vid?

Shi: Sorry, I don't like getting filmed...

???: Aight, cool, I won't film your faces then.

???: Yo, it's Hime-chan o'clock. On today's video I'm gonna try talking to those famous middle-schooler volunteers!

???: Picking up trash again? Why are you so motivated about your volunteer activities?

Uta: Wouldn't you want to help someone if they're in trouble?

???: Geh!

Aya: It makes me happy to be useful to others!

???: Argh! You're gonna kill Hime-chan with all this brightness.

Meb: So, who are you? That’s a weird way of making contact. This isn't some regular video filming, is it?

???: Sharp! And bingo!

Him: Just call me Hime-chan. I'm a Miko of the great neutral god.

Gin: W-W-W-Whoa! Talk about coming out! What now, Sumi grande?

Tou: Call me big Sumi, Gin. But a Miko of the neutral god? Quite a sudden appearance.

Him: Hehe, it's sudden for a reason!

Him: It's because I immediately liked y'all!  So, nice to meetcha!

[Hero Club room]

Kar: Girls, we're back! And we have news, too! The neu-

Mis: Hmm, what about the news?

Kar: Who!?

Him: Whoa, Misakichi, you got here first?

Mis: So that's why I couldn't find you, free spirit. Though that's a good part of you if you ask me.

Aki: Another one... That girl is probably a Miko too.

Its: Let's see... Yeah. Onee-chan, everyone's here.

Fuu: Well then, time to explain.

Mis: Yes. Let me introduce myself again. Tenma Misaki, 2nd year of middle school. A Miko of the great neutral god.

Sum: 2nd year? But how mature...

Son: You're not much of an elementary schooler either, Wasshi.

Tou: Come on, Sonocchi...

SON: You got reprimanded from across spacetime...

Him: Hokkedou Hime. 2nd year middle school, like her.  Neutral god's Miko. Nice to meetcha, whoosh!

Yuu: Whoosh!

Him: Hah! Omg, you're so nice I'm gonna cry.

Him: Y'all are so pretty it's making me dizzy. Let's take photos later.

Fuu: My, that Hokkedou Hime seems like a nice girl.

Ren: Heh, I'll even sign those pictures for you. Here, put your date and name in.

Mis: Allow me to continue. Hime and I both come from the 168th year of the Divine Era.

Kirameki no Shou 13 - 4

[Hero Club room]

Him: We're from year 168, give me a holler if your era was somewhere close.

Wak: We don't have anyone from the Divine Era's hundreds.  You're the first ones.

Kir: We 72ers are probably the closest ones.

Yum: Any later, and you would be looking at around the 300th year of the Divine Era.

Mis: Okay, then I'll explain with the different backgrounds in mind. I'm enrolled in Gogaku East middle school in Kagawa.

Aka: Huh, Gogaku? That's close to our Zouzu.

Mis: Year 168, to my knowledge, was a very peaceful time.

Mis: We were all living happy, relaxed lives. And for that, allow me to thank you first.

Mis: The great neutral god told us about how the the Divine Era came to be. I couldn't possibly express all my gratitude to the Christian Era Heroes.

Him: We got taught in school that it was a virus that destroyed humanity.

Him: But then we came to this world and wow! The hell is with those Vertexes doing whatever they want?

Him: Honest thanks for fighting those Trashtexes. Hime-chan got to live in a world where every day is peaceful, all thanks to you.

Chi: I'm... really happy to hear that.

Yos: Koori-sama...

Him: Oh, by the way, I'm from Ashu Suiun middle school. Tokushima girl. My fave food is ramen.

Shi: I'm bad with words, but I think I want us to be friends...

Him: Oh! I can feel the whirlpool waves spinning from you! You're the same as me, then? A Tokushiman!

Shi: Mhm.

Sek: Ramen party, then. Grin.

Mit: Eek, Akihara-san is grinning so hard you can see her gums!

Uta: This is bad, the ramen party gained seats... Time to gamble! Misaki-san, what's your favourite food?

Mis: So-

Uta: So!?

Mis: So-Sorry. I was going to pick the appropriate answer, but I'm going to have to say udon after all.

Uta: D'oh!

Kir: The Suwa girls are so good. They really have the basics of comedy down.

[Hero Club room]

Aki: So were the two of you Mikos in the Taisha?

Mis: ...No. I was a regular person.

SON: Hm?

Him: I was a normie too. I had mad sixth sense though.

Mis: And I was pious, I think that's why the great neutral god chose me.

Yos: So why did ordinary people from a peaceful age become the neutral god's Mikos?

Mis: This is just a guess, but we must have something to do with the current trial.

Gin: There it is, there it is, the worrying "trial" word.

Him: Oh, the trial's over so don't sweat it.

Nat: The trial is already over? What do you mean? Even the sea is confused.

Mis: We were called by the great neutral god, summoned here and taught various things.

Him: Heroes, Mikos, Vertexes... Like I just said, it was legit a massive shock.

Mis: And then we accepted the duty of Mikos. To come in contact with the Sanshuu Middle Hero Club...

Mis: And determine whether you are fit to undergo the neutral god's final trial or not.

Anz: Ah! Final trial...

Him: You got some kinda super strong power called Mankai, right?

Mis: We were instructed to see if you let the power go to your heads.

Him: So it was like, an interview? To see what kind of people you were, as people ourselves.

Mis: Both Hime and I find you likeable already, so the trial is already over.

Mis: It must've chosen ordinary people from an era with no background knowledge to make the trial fair.

Him: The great neutral god didn't tell us anything detailed about each and every Hero and Miko personally, you know.

Fuu: Letting power go to our heads is the one thing we definitely wouldn't do. That power put us through a lot before...

Kirameki no Shou 13 - 6

[Hero Club room]

Wak: Right now, we're introducing ourselves to the neutral god's Mikos one by one.

Hin: And that was recap Wakaba-chan.

Aki: And with Hanamoto-chan and mine's introductions over, that makes everyone.

Mis: Wonderful, just wonderful. There should be a lot of people to talk to about how great god is.

Mis: We don't know about the final trial either. We'll tell you right away when we receive an oracle.

Sek: What kind of trial is it going to be? Do you have any guesses, at least?

Him: I'll tell you this much, expect something way more intense than the previous trials and you should be good!

Mis: Yes, I think you should train for it. Fighting is very likely to be involved.

Sek: Fighting, huh. Considering the previous trials, the neutral god must be pretty sport-oriented.

Mis: We're still waiting for an oracle, so I don't think they're going to start that soon.

Him: So I'd appreciate if we got along while we're waiting for that final trial, alright?

Yuu: Sure! You're welcome to hang out even without any oracles.

Aka: Yeah. By the way, could I see your abs?

Mis: Eeh? Where did that come from? That's not a statement you preface with "by the way".

Him: Sure thing! Take a look at Hime-chan's toned stomach.

Aka: Ooh, this is nice! You work out, huh? Rub-rub!

Him: Ahaha, that tickles!

Wak: ...Somehow I don't feel a lot of motivation despite the approaching final trial.

Chi: God only knows whether it'll actually be the end. Let's do what we usually do.

Wak: Right. Then there's nothing wrong with relaxing. Thanks, Chikage.

Meb: The only info we got is that we had better prepare ourselves, so training is in order.

Meb: Still, I don't like having someone come to inspect my human nature at this point. Gods and their condescending attitude...

Suz: And there Mebu was, being her usual self, angry at something.
