Kirameki no Shou 17 - Deep affection

Kirameki no Shou 17-1

[Tougou’s house]

Yuu: Haah… We had a fight with Misaki-chan…

Tou: Yuuna-chan, cheer up. We couldn’t have possibly backed down there.

Tou: Total control of humanity by the neutral god? Completely unacceptable.

Yuu: Yeah… Now to think about how to make up with her.

[Chikage’s room]

Tak: Hina-chan and the rest of them are probably trying to come up with something right now…

Tak: We have to think of a way to solve this, too!

Chi: (Coming to an understanding with someone with different ideas is going to be very hard.)

Chi: (Wars have broken out throughout history because people couldn’t do that…)

Chi: (But “hard” is no reason to give up. I have to think just like Takashima-san and the others.)

[Hero Club room]

Aki: So you’re suggesting we send a delegation of peace to the neutral god’s Mikos. I see, I see.

Aya: I think it’s a great idea. Let’s all get along.

Mit: It would be best to reconcile. Clashing opinions give me stomach cramps…

Yos: I am concerned, however. Our argument came from a difference in our ideas.

Hin: That’s right. I think our opinions are just going to clash again.

Kir: Meaning that if we act, we might only make the rift between us worse, aye?

[Akamine’s room]

Kir: ...And there ya have it. We want to make up with them, but we’ve no idea where to start.

Aka: Well, that’s easy. We really do want to be friends with them, so let’s just push through with raw passion!

Aka: “We wanna be friends!” “We love love love love you! For realsies!” ...Something like that.

Ren: Heh. A very Yuuna-like answer, straightforward to a fault. It might work.

Kir: True enough. Go with passion instead of overthinking it. A very Hero Club-like plan.

Kir: Alrighty, let’s go with that! Thanks, Akana!

Kirameki no Shou 17-2

[Hero Club room]

Kir: And there you have it, I suggest the strategy of making up through pure, unbridled passion.

Tou: What a coincidence, Yuuna-chan reached the same conclusion.

Chi: Yeah, same with Takashima-san.

Anz: That’s the Yuunas for you.

Nat: Sounds good. The sea whispers to me that we have to take action, no matter what.

Sum: We could discuss it for an eternity and I still wouldn’t accept the neutral god’s controlled world.

Sum: So I think that’s a good idea.

Tam: Maybe she’s also thinking “Whoa, I said too much there”.

SON: Passionately push them down? Mmm, I’m in complete agreement.

Hin: But they’ll probably be wary if we all barge in at once. It’s important to properly select the members for the delegation.

Shi: We need people who go with emotion over reason… And quiet people like me aren’t a good fit, either.

Kar: If you need emotion, Miyoshi Karin is your girl!

Kar: But this is about making friends and not defeating enemies, so I’m… not sure about this.

Fuu: I’d like to send Yuuna out.

Son: We suggest Mino-san!

Fuu: Yuuna, Takashima, Akamine, Gin, Aya. Let’s send these five.

Sek: Whew, now that’s a lineup. But I agree. You’ve got passion all sorted out.

Yum: Have you a need for Yumiko, the super advisor?

Suz: It’s going to be a pretty messy argument…

Meb: ...I’d like to come as well. Misaki and I talked quite a lot…

SHI: Yeah, Kusunoki’s a good fit. She went all out with me back then.

Meb: Their side might’ve received another, new oracle.

Yuu: Time’s a-waiting! Let’s call Hime-chan and go right away!

Its: Yuuna-san, I’m sure you can do it!

Uta: We’re counting on you, delegates! Have some veggies as souvenirs!

[Shopping district]

Him: Misakichi, look at that hat. It’d be so impactful with those black accessories, make you stand out real bright.

Mis: Hmm… I suppose.

Him: Misakichi, cheer up. For real.

Mis: I’d like to, but it’s not quite working.

Him: Misakichi, Hime-chan’s gonna die if you keep being sad. Thought about that?

Mis: ...True, it’d be painful for me to see you sad, Hime. Sorry about that.

Him: Wanna get some sweets into your body to brighten up the mood?

Mis: Yeah, you’re right. Sweets like udon?

Him: You udon people, I swear…

Mis: ...Haah. This is frustrating. I never meant to get into an argument with them.

Mis: How could I have known they’d be so stubborn?

Him: I mean, wouldn’t you be shocked if you suddenly got told god would manage everything?

Mis: Yeah, I would like to have a calm discussion with them now that the dust has settled.

Mis: I got hot-headed, too… Said some pretty harsh words.

Him: Heh heh. And here’s where Hime-chan, the younger sister of a negotiator, comes in.

Mis: There you go running your mouth again. But that grin tells me that you’ve been doing something.

Him: The ever-thoughtful Hime set up… this!

Yuu: There they are! Heeey! Misaki-chan, Hime-chan!

Mis: So you contacted them already. Good thinking, Hime.

Him: It’s way faster to just meet up instead of moping around, you know?

Mis: True. Let’s try talking again.


Kirameki no Shou 17-4

[Shopping district]

Yuu: Ta-da! This is a gift from Utano-chan, the beloved veggies of the Farmer King!

Him: Whoa, it’s packed tight! Thanks.

Tak: They’re super delicious.

Mis: Forgive me for getting so hot-headed before. I’d like to apologise for that first.

Gin: We felt your soul in that speech, Misaki-san.

Mis: So, did you talk it over among yourselves?

Aka: Yeah, and we still think that there’s no need for the neutral god’s control.

Mis: ...Right. And here I was hoping you’d come around.

Aya: Did you receive any new oracles?

Him: Not a peep at the moment.

Meb: Misaki, I want to say this: our ways of thinking might be different, but I still don’t hate you.

Gin: What she said! We want to get along with you, actually1

Yuu: Yeah, we all want us to have fun together.

Tak: We might find a solution if we talk about it!

Aka: So let’s try talking to see how we can get along better.

Mis: ...You’re right. We’re talking about a radical change in human life, haste would be ill-advised.

Mis: I understand. Let’s be patient and talk about it.

Him: Phew. The mood cleared up. Thank goodness.

Yuu: Misaki-chan, let’s shake hands!

Mis: Yeah. Let’s start it over from a fresh page.


Kirameki no Shou 17-5

[Shopping district]

Mis: I must say, I’m surprised. You’re not particularly reverent for people who transform through divine powers.

Yuu: We’re super thankful for the powers that let us fight.

Aka: But that doesn’t mean we’ll just quietly accept everything that comes our way.

Mis: Now, if the neutral god said they were planning to destroy humanity? I could absolutely understand fighting back in that case.

Mis: But when the absolute will offers to manage every aspect of your life?

Meb: Gods from ancient legends all had quirks to their personalities.

Meb: And some of their actions were mistaken, too. Like jumping to conclusions and killing someone.

Meb: So I don’t think that gods are faultless by default.

Mis: Could a fellow Miko tell us her opinion on this argument?

Aya: I believe that Shinju-sama is absolute. But I can also accept Mebuki-senpai’s words.

Aya: Sonoko-senpai says it all the time. That there are all kinds of people in the world.

Tak: Hime-chan, what about you?

Him: I’m standing my ground. I do want to get along with you girls, but it’s all up to Misakichi.

Gin: I think that we people don’t need to be controlled, since we’ll do our best anyway.

Mis: Mhm… Yeah, I’m sure you, personally, will be fine. But the great majority isn’t as sparkling clean.

Mis: I would even say that I think the souls of the majority are dirty.

Yuu: Souls come in all shapes. It’s kind of sad to sum them all up as dirty.

Mis: ...I would’ve loved to hear more, but we’re out of time for today.

Meb: We’ll come again, Misaki… As many times as it takes.


Kirameki no Shou 17-6

[Hero Club room]

Fuu: We’re still at an impasse, but you made them promise we’d talk again tomorrow. Good work.

Sum: A massive improvement from the argument-filled falling out we had earlier. I’m impressed.

Ren: As Utano would put it, this is a gigante step.

Aka: They’re every bit as stubborn as ever, but I feel like we can push through.

Son: Then let’s try changing the lineup for the next visit. A daily Hero menu!

Meb: Were there any oracles for us?

Hin: No, not a single one. Let’s continue acting on our own decisions.

Meb: I’d like to always be on the team.

[Shopping district]

Wak: Misaki, it’s us here today. Now, let us talk.

Yos: The Miko group will be joining you for day three of the talks.

Tam: Hey, hey, Misaki, heard you had fun yesterday. Now listen ta me, would you?

Mis: It’s impressive. Every day the lineup changes, aside from Mebuki.

Him: Doesn’t look like you mind it either, Misakichi. Heh heh.

Mis: Well… They’re nice people.

Suz: It’s beginning to feel like they’re softening up to us. Opening their hearts up, if you would.

SHI: Yep, can’t beat passion.

Sek: But I think it’s going too well. It’s the most dangerous kind of situation, I can tell you that.

Kar: Itsuki, read some fortunes to brighten the mood.

Its: I’d rather not, really… But if you say so, Karin-san… Tarot, go!

Its: Waah! The Death card!

Kir: I’ve got a really bad feeling about this...
