>Ah. Over there.

>It's Harumi.
>Hah...

>She seems kinda down...?
>Heya, Harumi~
>Ah, Harumi-san! Gunjou-san too...

>Why the long face?
>Well, I was just thinking about stuff...

p2
>Minami...

>This is... an enemy attack!?
>Where's Minami!? Where's Ruby!?

p3
>Are you...
>okay?

>Yeah...
>Harumi-chan, that form...

p4
>Yeah...
>Sorry for not telling you.
>I'm...

>Seriously...?
>You're Pure Ruby...?

>Looks like I've been found out.

>Ah! Watch out!

p5
>I'll protect you!
>Get back!

>Hey...
>Hey!

>This is totally the dialogue between the protagonist and main heroine of a magical girl show!
>And I'm totally background character Female Student A!

p6
>Am I not needed anymore...?
>Ruby seems to be able to handle it on her own...

>...Well, I should probably quit saying stupid things like that and transform already...
>I'm just glad the forced transformation is turned off due to ether cuts.
>*Conserving consumption of ether.

>Hey, Gunjou!!

>H-Harumi is! R-Ruby! Look! Ruby! By!
>Ah, yeah, you're right. So that girl is Pure Ruby's true identity, huh? (monotone)

>A-Amazing!
>She's real! It's a real magical girl!

>Look! It's the girl you like! In the flesh! She's fighting! She's really fighting!
>Y-Yeah...

p7
>This is bad... I can't transform with Minami around...
>Or rather, if I transform here, Ruby would find out my identity too.

>KYA!

>Huh? Ruby...?

>My magic really is weak... against this enemy...
>I can't handle this by myself...!!

>Uh... At this rate...
>Please, Azu. Come quickly...

>What's wrong with Ruby!?
>She's acting strange?

p8
>Hang in there, Ruby!
>Don't lose!!
>Eh? Minami-san!?

>Do your best! Do your best!
>Come on, Gunjou!! You cheer her on too!
>Eh? Ah, sure!

>Do your best, Pure Jewel!
>Do your best!!
>>towel

>What do I do...? What do I do!?
>I can't exactly put Minami to sleep like I did last time...

>Azu... Help me...
>I can't...

p9
>I'm sorry, Azu...

>Uuuh~~~
>Geez~~!!

>Ruby!! No! Please...!!

>Um...
>What is it, Gunjou...?

>Erm... Do you mind
>...if I transform?
>Huh?

>Eh...?

>NOOO!!

p11
>G-...

>Gunjou... You're...

p12
>I'm sorry for making you wait, Ruby...
>But now that I'm here, I won't let this enemy have his way anymore!

>Yeah!
>Let's go, Azu!

>Finishing move! Purple Nail
