[Hero Club room]

Ren: In the last episode of YuYuYui, we sent a delegation of peace to the Mikos of the neutral god. The peace talks are as of yet ongoing.

Yuu: The delegation has returned!

Tou: Well done! With this, everyone has participated at least once. How were their reactions?

Aka: Well, we thoroughly talked about various stuff and they said they need some time to properly think things through.

Meb: Misaki also said that they’d be coming to us in 3 days.

Tak: She even said she’d try to be as flexible with her thinking as possible!

Aya: I think the two of them kept discussing things even after we left.

Tam: Looks like Hime’s doing a great job assisting us.

Uta: Okay, then let’s wait for the time being.

Yum: It would appear that our collective desire to get along was made evident to them.

Aki: And we, if I might add, are still yet to receive any oracles.

Kar: Itsuki’s Death card still bothers me, though.

Fuu: You made her draw it!

Wak: Let us spend the next 3 days as normal, then.

Yos: …

Sek: Why the grim face? Share your troubles with your sister-in-glasses, would you?

Yos: I don’t think that makes us related…

Yos: I just think it’s best not to get our hopes up to have them crushed in three days…

Sek: True. Even if we’re on good terms, I doubt the Mikos of the neutral god would fold that easily.

Sek: But we’ll just switch gears if that happens. Everyone’s prepared. No worries, no worries.

Yos: ...It was wrong of me to expect any less of the Heroes. Forgive me for the unneeded concern.

[Karin’s apartment]

Kar: Mebuki, come in.

Meb: This is for you. Just some rice crackers.

Kar: Thanks. Heh… Never expected you to have it in you to bring gifts into someone’s house.

Meb: Now if only you had it in you to properly thank people.

Kar: What’s that, you want a fight? Bring it on, I’ll give you one.

Meb: Can’t get too rowdy in a room, though… How about pinning move-only combat?

Kar: Okay. First one to score a point wins!

Kar: Haah, haah, haah… Thirty minutes and… we’re still at a stalemate.

Meb: Heh, heh, heh… Fine then, draw it is…

Kar: Heh. To think I’d propose a draw and you’d agree to it… We’ve both changed, huh.

Meb: ...Yeah. We’ve changed. Thanks to the others.

Kar: What’s with you today? Is it about Misaki and Hime?

Meb: Exactly. They’re coming in two days, right?

Meb: And I don’t think their decision is going to change, so long as the neutral god stays their ground.

Meb: But Misaki herself will change. So if a battle breaks out…

Kar: It’s up to us to end it quickly and get back to discussing, is that it?

Meb: Even if Misaki’s opinion doesn’t change, we have to be persistent. Are you with me?

Kar: Alright. The perfect Hero can answer any request.

Kar: I’ve got to say, Mebuki, you’re really concerned about Misaki.

Meb: She’s similar to me… She’s trying to claw her way up from the pit of frustration.

[Beach]

Wak: Yuuna, here I come! Haaah!

Tak: I won’t lose, Wakaba-chan! Seiyaa!

Anz: Wow, they’re really into it.

Tam: Hime and Misaki are coming tomorrow. They’re getting into shape so they can deal with anything that happens.

Hin: We’ve become good friends with Akamine-san, and she was our enemy once. I’m sure we can reconcile with Tenma-san.

Chi: But Akamine-san was just pretending, right? But now there’s an actual clash of ideals.

Chi: So it’s important to prepare ourselves and stay on our toes. Not that I’m against getting along with them, though.

Aki: Oh, the Marugame troops are all gathered up.

Tam: You may also call them the Tama squad, the Tamaz or Tama and her motley crew.

Aki: Do you think this world’s gonna disappear if we solve this conflict through talking?

Hin: That is impossible to know, I’m afraid. The possibility is there.

Aki: I know it’s not a good idea to get too attached to this world, but I haven’t enjoyed it to the fullest yet!

Aki: I guess I should give Tamako and Anzu-chan a warm hug while I have the chance. *sob*

Anz: Don’t worry. We can always meet up in the real world.

Aki: Yeah, except we don’t get to meet all that often! Hanamoto-chan, go give Koori-chan a hug.

Yos: …

Chi: …

Yos: I’m fine the way things are.

Aki: How mature!

Anz: That’s a lovely relationship too.

[Hero Club]

Sum: Everyone is here, we’re ready to begin whenever.

Mis: Mhm. Hime, are you ready? I’m going to get straight to the point.

Hm: Sure. I’ll save my chatter for later then.

Suz: Mm… Let this end without any issues… Mebumebumebumebu…

Meb: Don’t use my name as a prayer. It’s not gonna help you that much.

Mis: Concerning the rift that arose between us when you refused the great neutral god’s controlled society…

Mis: I talked about it with you, I talked about it with Hime and I thought about it on my own for three days.

Mis: And would you believe it? I received an oracle. And it was an acceptable compromise, too. God is ever-watchful, indeed.

Him: Hime got the same oracle, so there’s no doubt about it.

Mis: If you claim that humans have no need for divine control, then they’re willing to show you, the representatives of humanity, a possibility.

Mis: You fought over territory with the rebelling god in the past, correct? Let us do the same, but with the great neutral god now.

Him: You’ve been facing toned-down attacks in the form of trials until now…

Mis: But now we’re going all out. Managing to get through this attack would be a great feat.

Him: So, basically, the solution is to fight…

Mis: But if you do manage to win, then even I will be forced to accept things.

Mis: Let’s clash head-on, with no hard feelings involved.

Fuu: The road of girl power leads me to the riverbed battlefield… Bring it on! [1]
Wak: Our attempts to converse were clearly worth it if we can have a battle with no grudges between us.

Meb: The Forestization is coming… Let’s make it clear to the neutral god.

Gin: Show them what human spirit is made of!
===
Notes:
1 - Seems to be an allusion to the battle at river Tone from a story “Tenpo Suikoden”.

[Jukai]

Yum: There you are! Now, with grace! Miroku Hurricane Bullet! KIEEEEEE!

Shi: Dead on. Confirming Stardust elimination. You’re popping off today, Miroku.

Yum: I cannot afford to fall behind my esteemed ancestor,  can I?

Tam: (Her training bore fruit. I will award 10 Tamapoints to Miroku later.)

Tou: I don’t see any other enemies. That was a bit underwhelming.

Nat: That was hardly any worse than the usual trials… Assuming that it’s over, that is.

Mis: Of course it isn’t.

Him: Next up you’ll be dealing with our ultra-powerful two-seater Vertex!

Chi: Here’s our boss fight. Don’t get sloppy, girls. Washio-san, shoot at it a few times to check.

Was: Yes, Chikage-san!

Sum: Huh, what?

Anz: Our attacks aren’t working!?

Sek: Wow, my spear did nothing. Neither did the Sentinels’ or Tougou’s guns.

Aka: Then melee combat it is. The flames shall dance!

Tak: Hero… Puuunch!

Aka: Hero punch!

Its: The Yuunas’ fists didn’t work!? How!?

Kar: Let’s see how you handle an infinity of slashes! Haaaah!

Meb: Ah! Karin’s attacks aren’t working either!

SON: Eureka!

Fuu: What did you come up with!?

SON: This is hopeless, let’s run away!

Fuu: (If Nogi is saying that, we’re screwed for real…)

Fuu: All forces, retreat!

Yuu: Oh! Look, it’s firing all over the place.

Suz: Brrr! You’re telling me we would’ve eaten that if we didn’t run away?

Fuu: We nearly got wiped out there… That was close…

SON: They said we’d be fighting over territory, so losing one battle doesn’t mean losing the war.

Sek: That’s right! Let’s fall back and think of a plan!

[Hero Club]

Meb: Haah, haah… Is everyone safe!?

SON: Yeah, we’re all here. Aah, that was rough.

Shi: Retreating counts as our loss, I think… Let’s check what effect that had.

Yum: This is horrible. We can no longer enter Kochi, that home to amiable people where everyone is like one big family.

Tou: We’re back to how things used to be at the start… When the rebelling god took over the land.

Tam: Here’s a plan born from Tama’s 200 IQ brain. They took our land, so we take it back! Like back with the rebelling god!

Sek: Except the problem is how exactly to do that. But I like your spirit. Let’s keep moving forward.

Chi: Our attacks didn’t work. But it was less that they were ineffective, and more…
Tak: The enemy was just too tough for them to work. The enemy wasn’t unbeatable or anything.

Suz: Still, it’s a tough fight in our current state. Would be nice if we had more manpower.

Aki: Precisely. And we finally received an oracle…

Aya: We’ll be receiving two new Heroes in our ranks.

Tou: I thought we wouldn’t be getting any more?

Yos: Just like the neutral god called upon Tendou Misaki and Hokkedou Hime, they will be civilians with special circumstances.

Mit: Shinju-sama seems to be encouraging us to get through the neutral god’s trial.

Wak: Which is why we can get reinforcements, huh.

Kir: That is some good news. I’ve got a feeling our new allies are gonna be a fiery bunch.

[Jukai]

Him: Huh, they actually know when to give up. I thought they’d be all like, persistent and indomitable.

Mis: We could’ve ended this here in one blow if they were more stubborn.

Mis: It’s their experience in battle talking. Let’s keep our grip on them.

Mis: Oh, how great it would be if we could all live in harmony under the glory of our god.

Him: You’re not giving that one up, huh, Misakichi.

Mis: I’d like to think I have the decency to give it up if we lose. Not that I intend to lose, however.
