Kirameki no Shou - 24 - Brilliance

Kirameki 24-1

[Jukai]

Mis: So this is what it feels like to become a god. It feels wonderful.

Mir: A god? So what? There’s a Miroku right in front of you. Go on, Hime, don’t you have something to say?

Him: Y-Yeah. You know, Misakichi?

Mis: Hime, I’ve become able to understand without even needing your words. You were shocked that I left you behind, correct?

Mis: But… It would be right for you not to come, Hime. You’re somewhat afraid of me now, aren’t you?

Him: That’s… I’ll decide what’s right for me and what’s not.

Mis: I’m not angry that you fear me. It’s only natural to fear the divine. Still…

Mis: If you can’t accept such divinity as beautiful, the great neutral god will not take you in.

Him: Enough of your monologue! How about you listen to me now?

Mis: I’ve realised something after ascending to this state.

Mis: Nogi Wakaba… Do you wish to attain a body like mine?

Wak: What? Why me? I’m not the one you’re supposed to be talking to right now.

Mis: The great neutral god would welcome you.

Aka: They want her, specifically? I suppose it’s to be expected…

Wak: What is this about? Why me all of a sudden?

Chi: I suppose that’s just how much the gods favour you. Myths are full of stories about valiant heroes ascending to godhood.

Wak: I’m not interested!

Mis: Really? Then why don’t I give you a demonstration of just how wonderful this power is?

Mis: Take a look at how large of a swarm I can control on my own.

Yuz: Is she planning to crash a swarm this huge into us?

Kirameki 24-2

[Jukai]

SHI: Alright! There goes that huge swarm!

Aka: Pump their numbers all you want, we’ve fought these enemies before and won. A workout, nothing more.

Mis: I suppose I must fight in person after all.

Mis: Perhaps some of you will be inclined to follow once you’ve had a taste of this power.

Mis: I’ll gladly vouch for you in that case. Yes, what a great idea.

Kar: What, going to fight us in person now? I see you’re raring to go, Misaki.

Mis: Any clash with your passion will turn into combat in the end. I’ve come to realise as much.

Fuu:  It makes sense that a god would understand what girl power is all about.

Him: Misakichi, how about you listen to me before fighting? Are you ignoring me?

Mis: I’m not, Hime. I’m simply not interested in talking. Go back.

Him: Why the hell not!?

Meb: …

Meb: …Fine, let’s fight. And if we win, you will listen.

Yuu: We’ve come this far, girls. Let’s smile together until the end. I’m ready to fight for that.

Nat: Yeah. I guess this is what it comes down to.

Mis: Behold then, the supreme power of a god!

Its: S-She’s changing shape!

Tam: We’ve seen ta much to be surprised at this point! Leave it ta me!

Tou: She’s gotten so arrogant. I’ll shoot that attitude down!

Wak: She’s coming!

Kirameki 24-3

[Jukai]

SHI: Haah, haah, haah… How ‘bout that? We won, god or not!

Mis: Unbelievable… I’ve been granted their power… And lost?

Meb: Haah, haah, haah… I knew we would win this.

Meb: Do you know why, Misaki? Because your faith in the neutral god isn’t absolute.

Mis: Impossible! My faith is unwavering!

Meb: No, it’s not. God Tenma? No, you’re a sham.

Mis: There’s no way these feelings of mine are fake!

Meb: True enough, you do believe in the neutral god…

Meb: But is that really the only reason you chose to follow them?

Mis: …Of course it is.

Meb: No. You’re just afraid of losing your sacred, special place as their Miko.

Meb: Afraid of going back to your ordinary life. You just didn’t want to go back to being a plain old Tenma Misaki, did you!?

Suz: I see, she did say she got power that befits her faith…

Meb: Had you been truly devoted, you might’ve been powerful beyond our comprehension.

Meb: But we’re not going to lose to your half-hearted faith!

Meb: And you were avoiding talking to Hime because you were afraid she’d see right through your flimsy facade with her sharp intuition, weren’t you?

Mis: Ugh…

Him: T-Time out! Stop! That was too much! Enough already!

Mis: E-Even so! I’ve decided to go with the great neutral god! And they’ve accepted me!

Him: Misakichi!

Mis: Isn’t that enough? Just leave me alone! I’m going with them! Alone!

[Jukai]

Son: Waaah! Could this shaking be…?

Mis: The great neutral god has begun to separate from Shinju-sama. Night will be gone from the Jukai… I’m going.

Sek: Wait, wait. We’re not done talking yet!

Mis: …Huh? I can’t change form. W-Where did the power go?

Mis: No way. I’ve been granted power! I don’t want to go back!

Mis: O great neutral god! Once more! Grant me power once more! I implore you!

Mir: Abandoned by the divine, as they say… What a nasty trick.

SON: Shaking this strong can’t be good… We have to go back to that rift in space we came through, quickly.

Him: Right, this is different from how the Jukai usually works. Misakichi, we’re going back!

Mis: I… I don’t want to go back!

Him: Makes sense you’d be down. Mebuki was pretty scary, too… Don’t even feel like mouthing off at you anymore.

Him: Okay, now’s not the time for that! Just stick with Hime-chan, alright?

Suz: I’ll help… I kind of understand how you feel, Misaki-san.

Mis: I…

Meb: Hurts so bad you want to puke, doesn’t it? But you have to grit your teeth and keep going.

Meb: Get a move on! We don’t have the time!

Mis: Y-You really are brutal, Mebuki.

Meb: You can recover from this. I managed it, so I know you can.

Him: And you’ve got Hime-chan by your side.

Him: Didn’t expect you to be so fragile, Misakichi. Guess Hime-chan has a chance to pay you back for all you’ve done.

Mis: Hime…

Uta: Okay, we’re pulling back! Heroes, follow me!

[Hero Club room]

Uta: Looks like everyone made it back safely.  Thank goodness.

Hin: It looks like you’ve managed to talk.

Mis: …It’d be more appropriate to say that I made an embarrassment of myself. I’m sorry for all the trouble I’ve caused.

Meb: Well, Misaki, let’s have a nice, long talk. There’s a lot I’d like to tell you.

Kar: Hold it right there, Mebuki! Why don’t you calm down for a minute first?

Meb: But Misaki-

Kar: Can’t leave her alone because she reminds you of yourself? I understand. But don’t get too hot-headed.

Him: Hime-chan’s got this, so leave the rest to me.

Suz: Yeah, that’d be best, since Mebu’s scoldings are so addictive that soon she wouldn’t be able to imagine living without Mebu anymore.

Meb: …Fine. It’s up to you.

Him: Count on me! Well then, Misakichi…

Him: Now that the great neutral god’s gone, it’s time to say our goodbyes.

Yuu: Ah, I see. But it’s so sudden…

Him: Hey, we get to part ways like this, I think it’s okay.

Him: No idea how exactly we’re going to go back to our own worlds…

Him: But Misaki-chan’s in my hands!

Mis: …I should keep it together at least for our farewells.

Mis: I’m really sorry, everyone. And thank you. Mebuki… I’ll try my best.

Meb: I’ve seen how much strength you managed to squeeze out of yourself. You’ll be fine.

Mis: Goodbye.

Him: Goodbye!

Yuu: Goodbye!

Kirameki 24-6

[Hero Club room]

Hin: With the neutral god’s power gone, Shinju-sama should also weaken considerably…

Aya: It appears that we’re about to lose our memories of this world and return to Shinju-sama’s original world.

Fuu: We were just about to say our goodbyes there, weren’t we? So we’re going back there….

Aki: Do you think we’re going directly to the real world, without going there?

Yos: Seems like it. The neutral god was involved in our summoning, after all.

Lil: I’m glad I had so much fun with you girls every day. It’s a bit sad to part ways, but I don’t have any regrets.

Yuz: We’re finally going back, but…

SON: Feels a bit sad now that it’s happening, right?

Yuz: Yeah. I wouldn’t have minded staying a little longer.

Lil: Yuzuki-kun, you have me.

Yuz: …Yeah, true.

Aki: The neutral god put us through the wringer, but I’m grateful. I got to meet the people I wanted to.

Yos: Yes. I’m ever  so grateful… Since I got to meet Koori-sama.

Chi: Take care, Hanamoto-san.

Tam: Let’s meet on the other side, Masuzu.

Anz: Until we meet again, Masuzu-san.

Yuu: Wah! It’s all white!

Kir: Finally, a goodbye to the neutral god, eh?

Wak: !

Wak: Farewell, neutral god!

Wak: We’ll stay true to our human wills till the end! We’ll shine with brilliance, even without divine powers!

Wak: So watch over us, please!
