Assault Lily Last Bullet - YuYuYu Collab - part 1

???: Is it still going to run...!?

???: We gotta hurry and catch up!

???: But how do you defeat an enemy that doesn't show its soul...

???: Don't give up! Because we're-

--- Chapter 1 - Unexpected Encounter ---

Fumi: Uuh... It should be around here...

Riri: There doesn't seem to be anything from what I can see... Fumi-chan, did you really get a reaction around here yesterday?

Fumi: Yes... Though the Huge searcher only reacted for a brief instant.

Hitotsuyanagi team - First year - Hitotsuyanagi Riri / Hitotsuyanagi team - First year - Futagawa Fumi

Tazusa: Isn't it a good thing there's nothing?

Hitotsuyanagi team - First year - Andou Tazusa

Fumi: It seemed like a weird signal for a Huge... Uuh... Sorry I can't be any more accurate...

Yuyu: You have nothing to apologize for, Fumi-san. If there was anything, we should have surely been here as fast as possible.

Yuyu: Besides, this was today's patrol route, anyway. It's not like we wasted our time.

Hitotsuyanagi team - Second year - Shirai Yuyu

Riri: Like she said, Fumi-chan. Cheer up.

Fumi: Thank you, Riri-san, Yuyu-sama.

Hitotsuyanagi team - First year - Kaede Johan Nouvel

Kaede: Now that Fumi-san got over it, let us continue our patrol.

Shenlin: Nothing abnormal thus far.

Hitotsuyanagi team - First year - Kuo Shenlin

Mito: I'm glad that's the case. It must have been me seeing things.

Riri: ...

Yuyu: Riri, what's wrong?

Riri: Ah, just... The sound of waves calms me down...

Yujia: I understand this feeling. I can feel this relaxing feeling soothe me.

Hitotsuyanagi team - First year - Y u j i a   W a n g

Shenlin: Oh my, Yujia-san. Are you perhaps tired?

Yujia: I wouldn't say tired... more like, tense? And the sound of waves helps me relax.

Mai: Ah, Mai gets that too. It's hard to be nervous all the time.

Hitotsuyanagi team - Second year - Yoshimura Thi Mai

Kaede: Mai-sama, nervous...?

Miriam: Well, I do get where you're coming from. We spend on lives with the threat of Huge appearing at any moment.

Hitotsuyanagi team - First year - Miriam Hildegard von Gropius

Mai: I know. When it gets a little hotter, wanna all go swimming? We all need to take the pressure off and play sometimes.

Tazusa: Bathing in the see... I like it.

Yuyu: Listen, even though we have not found any abnormalities, we are still on duty. Please be on your guards.

Kaede: So you say Yuyu-sama, but it crossed your mind, did it not? The image of Riri-san in a swimsuit!

Kaede: And incidentally, I imagined 256 different ones!

Yuyu: ......I have no idea what you're talking about.

Yuyu: Now then, nothing seems out of the ordinary. It's about time to return.

Miriam: What a forceful way to avoid the subject...

Shenlin: Fufu, I can hardly wait. I wonder which kind of swimsuit I should make you wear?

Yujia: You're planning to make me wear something? Because I'm not putting on anything weird.

Kaede: Oh? Where has Riri-san gone to...?

Riri: Everyone! Emergency!

Yuyu: Why here?

Miriam: Hm? There's someone next to Riri?

Fumi: I'm detecting several Huges! W-Why so many all at once!?

Tazusa: Questions will wait. Riri is in danger!

Mai: Yeah. But we're totally cut off!

Yuyu: Riri, are you okay?

Riri: I am! But I found 4 unconscious girls...!

Kaede: 4 unconscious civilians? Riri-san, fighting and protecting them at the same time is a much too heavy burden for you!

Yuyu: Riri, hold on! We'll be right here!

Tazusa: Kuh... Even if they're small class, there's more than I expected!

Mai: I want to go to where Riri is, but they're not leaving us any opening!

Yuyu: At this rate...!

Yuyu: ...Mai!

Yuyu: I'll clear up a path! I'm counting on you!

Mai: Yuyu... Got it. I'm going ahead!

Tazusa: Mai-sama!? I see, with Shukuchi!

Riri: Yaaaaaah!

Riri: Haa, haa... Just a little more... Just a little and the others will...

Riri: So I have to protect these people!

Riri: Kyaah!?

Riri: Oh sho-

Riri: (Flower petals...?)

???: Yaaaah!

Riri: Eh...?

???: Are you okay? You're not hurt?

Riri: N-No! I'm fine, but... what are you...?

Yuuna: Me? Sanshuu Middle School Hero Club member! Yuuki Yuuna!

Sanshuu Middle School Hero Club - Yuuki Yuuna

Riri: Sanshuu... Hero...?

Yuuna: Ah! I gave my name while transformed! Fuu-senpai will get mad at me...!

Yuuna: Please do like you never heard!

Riri: O-Okay...

Yuuna: A-Anyway! We have to defeat these, right? I'll help!

Yuuna: I have to protect Tougou-san and the others!

Riri: Thank y- Ah! Watch out!

Yuuna/Riri: Eh?

Mai: Riri, you okay? You look okay!

Riri: Mai-sama!

Mai: Oh, that's an unfamiliar Lily. I can't see her CHARM either.

Yuuna: Lily...? No, I'm Yuuki Yuuna- I said it again!?

Riri: Yuuna-san helped me just now!

Mai: Hm? Well, I won't say no to more fighting power.

Mai: I am Yoshimura Thi Mai, and this is Hitotsuyanagi Riri. We're both from Yurigaoka Girls Academy--but that's not important now.

Mai: Let's hold on until the others get here!

Riri: Understood, Mai-sama! Yuuna-san, I'll be depending on your help some more!

Yuuna: Riri-san and Mai-san... right? I don't really understand but sure! The only thing that counts now is to defeat the enemy in front of us!

Riri: Yuuna-san!?

Yuuna: Yuusha punch!

Riri: Amazing... She's fighting Huges with her bare hands...!?

Mai: Ahaha, looks like she can handle it herself just fine!

Yuuna: Yes! I think I'll be of help!

Yuuna: Then let's keep going!

Yuuna: Yaaaaaah!

Kaede: Fumi-san! Is Riri-san safe!?

Fumi: Y-Yes! Thanks to Yuyu-sama and Tazusa-san clearing the way earlier, Mai-sama, has reunited with Riri-san!

Miriam: With Shukuchi, Mai-sama can dodge her way through a bunch of Huge to meet up with her.

Fumi: Also, uum...

Yujia: Is something bothering you?

Fumi: Uum... Someone who collapsed earlier transformed and is fighting with them...!

Kaede: Haa!? Now is not the time for daydreaming!

Fumi: I'm saying the truth!

Miriam: We'll confirm whether it's true or not later. For now we have Huge to take care of!

Shenlin: ...How odd.

Yujia: W-What do you mean?

Shenlin: The sudden appearance of a large group of Huge. While an abnormality, isn't anything special in itself.

Shenlin: However, even though it's hard to tell in the melee, some are clearly passing by without paying us attention, and more than simply 1 or 2.

Fumi: Y-You're right! On closer look, all the Huge are moving in the same direction! Almost like... They're running away from something...?

Kaede: Whatever the case, it does not bode well. Let's reunite with the others, quickly!

Yuuna: Alright, next!

Riri: We got rid of a lot of them.

Mai: Yeah, thanks to Yuuna giving us a hand.

Yuuna: Ehehe, I'm glad to hear you say it!

Riri: Let's keep it up and resist until onee-sama and the others arrive!

Mai: Oh, looks like they're already here.

Yuyu: Riri, are you safe?

Riri: Onee-sama! Yes, I'm fine!

Yuyu: I'm happy you are. Mai, all my gratitude.

Mai: No way I could say no to a request from you, Yuyu~.

Yuyu: And... you are?

Yuuna: Me? I'm Yuuki Yu--Ha!

Tazusa: What kind of reaction is that?

Riri: This is Yuuki Yuuna, and she's a member of the Sanshuu Middle School Hero Club(?)!

Yuuna: Waah!? Riri-san, don't tell them!

Yuyu: I've never heard about this Hero Club Garden before. We can leave that for later. Who are these unconscious civilians?

Yuuna: ! Oh right, Tougou-san and the others, are they okay!?

Kaede: May I know why you're chitchatting in the middle of a battlefield?

Riri: Kaede-san! Everyone!

Fumi: They don't look injured, they seem simply unconscious.

Yuuna: P-Phew~! And are these people your comrades?

Riri: Yes!

Yuyu: I was only making sure of their safety. We still have more Huge to- what is that...?

Riri: A Huge is... attacking other Huge!?

Fumi: It looks like this is the Huge the others were running away from.

Tazusa: Huge escaping another Huge? That's...

Shenlin: There are many Huge who have ignored us. Plus, this Huge is prioritizing small class.

Yuuna: This monster... I saw it in the Jukai!

Riri: Yuuna-san!? Wait!

Yuyu: Riri!

Yuuna: You're not running away this time!

Yuuna: Kyaah!?

Riri: Waah!?

Kaede: It's coming! Get ready for battle!

Riri: Uuh... Are you okay?

Yuuna: I-I'm fine... Ah

Yuuna: Tougou-san! Karin-chan! Sono-chan!

Yuyu: Shoot! It's targeting the collapsed civilians!?

Yujia: I won't let it!

Miriam: What's up? Wasn't it going after them?

Yujia: Wait... This Huge has something stuck to its body. They look like tablets, 3 of them.

Yuuna: ...Could they be!

Yuuna: Wait! Those are our precious-

Riri: Eh... Yu-Yuuna-san!? What happened!?

Mito: ...She fainted. Perhaps she also collapsed on the beach earlier because she reached her limit in the battle.

Mai: Do we give chase?

Yuyu: No, let's avoid going too far. The safety of these girls is our current priority.

Kaede: That is the wise decision. Even if we were to catch up to it, it's very unlikely we could defeat it.

Yuyu: Let's quickly retreat.

Yuuna: For saving us in this dangerous situation...!

All 4: Thank you so much!

Riri: I'm glad you're all safe!

Yuyu: You don't seem to have suffered any injury.

Yuuna: Yes! Because of you, thank you so much!

???: You're even lending us clothes, I don't know how to thank you enough...

Miriam: Don't worry about that. Helping each other when in trouble is the normal thing to do.

Fumi: Should you already be walking? You just woke up...

???: I slept a whole lot, so I'm full of energy~!

Fuzasa: Weren't you unconscious...?

???: Please don't mind her. That's just how she is.

Yuyu: Now, if you wouldn't mind, who are you and where are you from?

???: Ah! We haven't introduced ourselves yet!

???: Hero Club's five tenets "Give a good greeting".

Yuuna: I'll start introducing myself again! Sanshuu Middle School Hero Club member! Yuuki Yuuna!

Mimori: Likewise, Sanshuu Middle School Hero Club member. My name is Tougou Mimori. A pleasure to meet you.

Sanshuu Middle School Hero Club - Tougou Mimori

Karin: I'm Miyoshi Karin from the same Hero Club. I've been fine-tuned to perfection, the perfect Hero, me!

Sonoko: I'm Nogi Sonoko from the Hero Club~! This is a school too right? How nice~, I can smell the youth in here~!

Sanshuu Middle School Hero Club - Miyoshi Karin / Sanshuu Middle School Hero Club - Nogi Sonoko

Yuuna: Please let me thank you again. You really saved us, thank you!

Riri: Don't mention it... You helped us as well. Right? Onee-sama.

Yuyu: Yes, you have my gratitude for saving Riri.

Yuuna: Ahaha, these words made all my efforts worth it! Even though I collapsed at the end.

Riri: Ah, right, Yuuna-san, everyone else too. Feel free to talk to us casually! We're almost the same age anyway!

Sonoko: Really? Yaay~, being formal isn't my thing~.

Karin: You weren't formal to begin with!

Shenlin: That being said, Sanshuu Middle School... That is quite the unfamiliar Garden.

Fumi: Yes. I did some research while you were asleep, but haven't found any Garden by that name... I thought Hero Club was a Legion name, but I don't know anything about it either.

Yujia: If Fuumin doesn't know about it, then surely no one does either.

Mimori: Sanshuu Middle School aside, it's a shame you aren't aware of the Hero Club.

Karin: Yeah, I thought we had a bit of a reputation.

Mai: So what kind of Legion is that Hero Club?

Yuuna: Legion... I don't really know about that, but we do our best to help people.

Mimori: More concretely, picking up trash in parks or the on the beach. Act plays at nursery schools or to the elderly. We also help in stores or find lost cats, anything really.

Yuuna: The Hero Club normally has 6 members, but...

Karin: On that subject, the sisters aren't here?

Sonoko: Was there anyone else with us when were unconscious?

Riri: No, you were the only 4 there.

Sonoko: Huh~...

Yuuna: Do you think they went back to the school's rooftop while we returned to the sea?

Karin: I sure hope so.

Mimori: Excuse me... Could I ask you a question?

Yuyu: Yes. We'll answer to the best of our abilities.

Mimori: What are these "Teien" and "Gundan", you've been referencing since earlier?

Yuyu: Tei...e?

Yujia: Gun, dan...?

Miriam: Did we ever say that?

Yuuna: Ah, she probably means "Garden" and "Legion". Tougou-san doesn't really like using foreign words...

Tazusa: I never heard someone call "Garden" and "Legion" that way.

Shenlin: Naming aside, you are aware of the existence of "Lily", "CHARM" and "Huge", are you not?

Sonoko: Uum, can't say I've heard these before. I don't have any recollection of Taisha mentioning these.

Riri: Uum, CHARM are the weapons we use to fight the Huge... and those who do are called Lily!

Fumi: More accurately, Lily refers to the girls who use a CHARM to fight.

Fumi: And Riri-san is a Lily.

Karin: ...Sorry, you lost me there.

Kaede: Despite it being worldwide common sense?

Karin: Even if you say that, it's like we're in another world here.

Sonoko: Nibosshi, you probably hit the needle on its head.

Karin: Ha?

Mimori: What are you saying, Sonocchi?

Sonoko: This may not be Shikoku. Right?

Fumi: You are correct, this is Kamakura-fu...

All 3: Eh!?

Riri: W-What's wrong!?

Sonoko: I'll make it short, but in the world we know, everywhere outside of Shikoku is in an inhabitable state.

Mimori: ...For that reason, we've never left Shikoku.

Yujia: Is that real...?

Karin: Y-Yeah! That can't be another world...

Sonoko: But that doesn't make any sense, how can we not know "worldwide common knowledge"?

Yuuna: ...So does that mean Fuu-senpai and Itsuki-chan are still in our original world?

Shenlin: I see... While hard to believe, you are in short from a world that isn't our own, is that your understanding?

Sonoko: I think that's it.

Miriam: That would actually make more sense. Yuuna defeated Huge with her bare hands, without any CHARM.

Miriam: But if it's how if works in their world, we got no choice but to accept it.

Yuuna: Ah... Uuh, that's...

Karin: What's the point in hiding it now? You politely gave them your name while transformed.

Yuuna: S-Sorry...

Mimori: We are the Hero Club, girls chosen to bear Shinju-sama's blessing.

Karin: Heroes who fight enemies sent by the heavenly gods, Vertexes.

Riri: Heroes... Like the ones from video games?

Sonoko: Not quite. We're not widely popular like the characters in video games.

Yuyu: By the way, Yuuna-san. You said something when you saw the last Huge before collapsing?

Kaede: If memory serves right... "You're not running away this time".

Yuuna: Ah! Right! We saw this Vertex in the Jukai!

Mimori: I just now remember. Yes... We were sucked into the hole this Vertex used to escape.

Yuyu: So you're saying this Huge is an enemy you followed...?



--- Chapter 2 - Foresight ---

Mimori: Ah, by the way...

Sonoko: What is it, Wasshi? What did you remember?

Mimori: When we fell into the hole after following the Vertex in the Jukai, I received an oracle from Shinju-sama telling us to defeat this unknown enemy.

Yuuna: So the runaway Vertex and on the beach earlier, this... Uuh...

Riri: Huge!

Yuuna: Yes! It's this Huge!

Mimori: Yes. I believe it is Shinju-sama's power who guided us to this world after plunging into the hole.

Kaede: In summary, the four of you have come from another world in order to defeat this Huge, if I'm not mistaken.

Karin: Honestly, I can't believe it either, but... That's probably the case.

Tazusa: Who is this "Shinju-sama" you're talking about?

Yuuna: Eh? Shinju-sama is, uuh...

Sonoko: Shinju-sama is a being who gave us its blessing and protects us. In simple words, it's similar to a god.

Sonoko: And to us Heroes, Shinju-sama grants us special powers to defeat the Vertexes threatening the world.

Mimori: It is unknown why this Vertex came to this world. What we do know however is that it is the reason we are here right now.

Miriam: Meaning you can't return to your world until you defeat it?

Karin: That's how it is. Since going back and forth would be unrealistically convenient.

Sonoko: We saw the Vertex's location on our terminals. ...Wait, it's not here.

Yuuna: Ah...

Mimori: Yuuna-chan?

Yuuna: Uuh, well, actually...

Karin: It's suspicious... Are you hiding something?

Yujia: By terminal, do you mean the things the Huge was carrying?

All 3: Eh!?

Mimori: The things the special Huge was carrying, so you mean...

Karin: Hey, Yuuna! Can't you say something that important sooner!?

Yuuna: S-Sorry! I tried to follow it, but I also fainted, and when I woke up I was here...

Yuuna: And I didn't know how I should bring it up to you...

Karin: ...Y-Yeah. I shouldn't have lashed out at you. Sorry.

Shenlin: Are these terminals of such great importance?

Sonoko: Yes, it's absolutely indispensable to us Heroes. We can't transform without it, so we can't fight either.

Sonoko: But if this special Huge has it, then maybe we're lucky in a sense.

Sonoko: Rather than if it disappeared somewhere else while we changed worlds, it makes everything a whole lot easier if the one we're supposed to defeat to begin with has it!

Yuuna: Ooh, that makes sense! That's Sonoko-chan, never discouraged!

Sonoko: Ehehe~, not that we have any proof our terminals are intact though~.

Karin: Are you trying to encourage or worry us, just pick one!

Riri: The short of the story is we need to defeat this special Huge, is that right?

Riri: Onee-sama!

Yuyu: I know, Riri.

Riri: But I haven't said anything yet!?

Miriam: When it comes to you, it's not even just Yuyu-sama, we can all tell more or less what you're thinking.

Yuyu: It's hard to believe they've come from another world, but we can't allow a special Huge with the power to attack others roam freely.

Yuyu: Let us offer the Hero Club our help.

Yuuna: Really? Thank you!

Riri: E-Exactly...! Eh, did you really all understand?

Kaede: But of course. I can tell what you are thinking at all times, Riri-san.

Fumi: Ah, I did too!

Mai: Let's help them externally, or something like that.

Mai: They'll be safer in Yurigaoka too.

Riri: Uuh... What do you mean?

Shenlin: We will let the Hero Club stay at the Garden, is what she means.

Yuyu: Protection as a reason to let you lodge here is fine, but you are our allies in defeating the Huge, our source of intel.

Yuyu: You aren't tourists, so be aware that your actions will be limited to some extent.

Mimori: We would be grateful even if you only gave us a roof for us to sleep under.

Karin: But we can't really afford to stay too long. Yuuna, you still got your terminal, right?

Karin: So let's find where that special Huge is and get back our terminals quickly!

Fumi: Like Karin-san said, can you find the location of this Huge... actually, Vertex with this terminal?

Mimori: The locations of Vertexes and other Heroes to be exact.

Yuuna: Yes! ......Wait, huh? It's not picking up anything...?

Sonoko: Maybe it doesn't work correctly because this isn't our world? But Yuuyu managed to transform... Uum?

Fumi: There is also a way in this world to find Huge, but there isn't any reaction either.

Fumi: Perhaps this special Huge is interfering with it.

Karin: D-Do we have any other way to search then?

Tazusa: Wait for information, I guess.

Mimori: Yuuna-chan is the only one among us able to fight, for that reason, it would be difficult to attack right away if we did find it.

Karin: Ngg...

Mai: I'm not telling you to take it easy, but maybe don't try to rush things?

Riri: Exactly, and we'll also help you get back your terminals!

Yuyu: Yes, we promise to offer you our best cooperation.

Yuuna: Thank you, everyone!

Riri: Once again, welcome! To Yurigaoka Girls Academy!

Mimori: We're glad we received... the authorization to stay.

Yuuna: Thank you, Riri-san!

Fumi: Riri-san, Kaede-san and I will now be showing you around Yurigaoka Girls Academy!

Sonoko: You're really going above and beyond~. We gotta think of a way to thank you.

Yuuna: There's only one way!

Yuuna: A Yurigaoka Girls Academy branch of the Sanshuu Middle School Hero Club!

Mimori: Right, if Fuu-senpai was here, I'm sure she would have said the same.

Riri: Hero Club activities are like volunteer work, right?

Sonoko: That's it~! Pick up trash, do a garden, anything goes~!

Kaede: Although, cleaning and service is already handled by the staff rather extensively.

Fumi: They do, for simple cleaning, we do it as well.

Yuuna: T-Then! Is there anything to do around the school? Like cleaning up the streets, or helping at a store!

Kaede: This may prove difficult, despite your position as our cooperators, you may not be allowed to enter and leave the school at your convenience.

Yuuna: N-No way!? Tougou-sa~n!

Mimori: There is not much we can do about it. We are already receiving their protection, we can't make demands...

Sonoko: But there's gotta be something we can do! Let's think about it casually!

Karin: You guys really are carefree. While our Hero terminals have been taken away.

Sonoko: I thought you were on edge, but you were actually worried.

Karin: Of course I am! Do you even understand how important these are!?

Yuuna: Yes, I do, but that's all the more reason why I want to do what we can without rushing things.

Yuuna: And if we can be carefree, it's because you're tense in our place, Karin-chan!

Mimori: Yes, it is because we always have you to be nervous that we can be as usual.

Karin: Urgh... I-I have too much to worry about! Come on!

Sonoko: Ah~, Nibosshi is blushing~.

Karin: I'm not!

Riri: Fufu, you're all so close.

Fumi: Yes, yes! I can feel the good material for the Lily newspaper!

Kaede: You should stop making everything into an article.

Yuuna: Lily newspaper?

Fumi: It's a weekly newspaper reporting all kinds of Lily-related news.

Sonoko: All kinds of news...? I can feel it will spark the fire of my imagination... I wanna read it~!

Kaede: You will find in various parts of the Garden, you are bound to find it even without looking for it.

Mimori: Do you mind me asking what kind of contents there is?

Karin: I'm curious too. We could learn about this world from it.

Fumi: In that case, I will be giving you the latest issue later!

Sonoko: Really!? Yaay! Thanks, Fuumin-san!

Karin: Wait, Sonoko! Think about the way you get closer to people!

Fumi: Oh no, I don't mind it. Shenlin-san for example calls me that way too.

Yuuna: You seem lively Sono-chan, huh?

Sonoko: Yes! Of course it's another world, but if you look around, you'll find flowers blooming everywhere~!

Riri: Flowers? We do have a flower bed but... were they really blooming that much?

Fumi: So you noticed... You have it in you, Sonoko-san!

Kaede: You understood it... It's like we have one more Fumi-san.

Fumi: There is a neverending source of new material! Especially about Schutzengel relationships!

Sonoko: Schutzengel?

Riri: Uum, that's-

Yuyu: Riri, so that's where you were.

Liy: Onee-sama! Is something the matter?

Yuyu: You forgot this in the Legion waiting room.

Riri: Ah, my memo pad...! Ehehe, thank you.

Yuyu: Riri, your ribbon is almost undone. I'll fix it for you, come over here.

Riri: Y-Yes.

Fumi: This is the kind of relationship we call Schutzengel!!

Riri/Yuyu: !?

Kaede: Kuh... How dare you flirt before my very eyes...!

Yuuna: I-It feels like I saw something incredible...!

Mimori: Yes, what a sweet and peaceful world.

Karin: T-This is ... Schutzengel...!!

Fumi: Though to be more precise, a Schutzengel partnership is a system consisting of an older student guiding their schild, a younger student.

Fumi: The older student "Schutzengel", guides the younger student, "schild" not only as a Lily, but also a person... it's a relationship similar to sisters!

Yuyu: Fumi-san, may I know what you are talking about?

Yuuna: Sisters... Ah, that explains why Riri-san calls Yuyu-san "onee-sama"!

Karin: Oh, I see. I thought she was Riri-san's real sister.

Yuyu: Riri's older sister... W-Well, it isn't a bad feeling. There is truth to this.

Mimori: S-Say, Fumi-san? You said it was between an older and younger student, but are two students in the same grade not allowed to make a Schutzengel pact?

Mito: Unfortunately no... But even in the same grade, if you live in the same room in the dormitory, it can mean the same as a Schutzengel relationship if you wish!

Mimori: I see... Yu-Yunna-chan, let's sleep in the same room during our stay...

Yuuna: Sure, okay! Sleeping in the same room, it's like we're on a school trip!

Mimori: Yu-Yuuna-chan...!!

Sonoko: Byooooooo!

Riri: Wah, Sonoko-san, what's wrong!?

Sonoko: It's amazing... Yurigaoka Girls Academy is amazing!

Sonoko: Girls cuddling over here!

Sonoko: Girls holding hands over there!

Sonoko: Even I can feel this overflowing aura of happiness!

Sonoko: Being able to witness this...! It's a real garden! You really earned the name of Garden!!

Fumi: They're not even all Schutzengel... But this isn't the extent of Yurigaoka's true charm!

Kaede: More than Fumi-san, she's actually like that Kamba girl...

Yuyu: You'll be showing them around the Garden, right? I'm feeling uneasy, so I'll be going with you.

Yuuna: Fumi-san, thank you for making us visit the Garden!

Fumi: Don't mention it, it was my pleasure!

Riri: Somehow even I learned some things.

Yuyu: Riri, this is your own Garden, you know...?

Karin: It's a pretty big place, it felt like a little adventure. ...Whether I'll remember or not is a totally different story though.

Shenlin: Welcome back. You must have walked a lot, please have some tea.

Yuuna: Waah, thank you!

Mimori: I was just getting thirsty.

Yujia: Here for you Karin-san and Sonoko-san... Go ahead.

Karin: Thanks.

Sonoko: Waah, it smells nice~!

Yujia: Shenlin's tea is delicious. It smells and tastes good.

Shenlin: Fufu, I like brewing tea. Everyone else, help yourselves.

Riri: Shenlin-san's tea, I'm so happy!

Fumi: We walked and talked a lot, I'll gratefully take it!

Karen: Despite the heated explanation of Lilies halfway through, rather than the Garden.

Fumi: I-It's your imagination...!

Riri: But I had fun too thanks to Fumi-chan.

Kaede: I can agree with you on that matter. Even locations we use casually have a history.

Yujia: Eeh... Maybe I'll go with you next time.

Fumi: Please!

Shenlin: On the subject of history, will you take a look inside this album? Though it is primarily about Yujia-san.

Yujia: W-Wait, Shenlin. Why do you have...!?

Shenlin: Fufu, I have perfect records of you wearing adorable clothing.

Mimori: Is this a hobby of yours, Yujia-san?

Yujia: N-No! It's not! Shenlin just forces me...

Shenlin: Force is a strong word. I only look for clothes I believe would suit you.

Sonoko: Eeh, Shenlin-san chose them!? For Yujia-san to wear!?

Karin: Too loud...

Shenlin: Be more confident in yourself, Yujia-san. You were adorable in them.

Yujia: I'm happy to hear that but... don't think I'm doing it because I like it...!

Shenlin: But this, or this... and this too, they genuinely suited you.

Yujia: Don't show that to Yuuna-san's group...!

Karin: What kinda clothes is that...?

Mimori: I cannot force Yujia-san's hand if she does not agree, but I am curious.

Shenlin: Fufu, very well. This will stay a secret only the two of us share.

Shenlin: This album on the other hand will do, will it not? Look, this is from the creation of the Hitotsuyanagi team...

Yuuna: Eeh~. Ah, Riri-san, were you a little nervous?

Riri: Ehehe... A lot of things were new to me. Even now, I'm still not exactly used to them.

Sonoko: Byooooooo!

Yujia: Eh? What is it...?

Karin: Please don't mind Sonoko. This is something like... a spasm for her.

Yuyu: This is also how she reacted to seeing Lilies while we were walking around the Garden.

Sonoko: Yuyu-san fixing Riri-san's ribbon, those two I don't know who were cuddling, they were so amazing I couldn't control myself...!

Sonoko: Shenlin-san and Yujia-san's casual chat... It stimulates my creatives urges~!

Karin: You're even more lively than usual. That level of excitement is rare even for you.

Mimori: I have to praise Fumi-san for being able to keep up with Sonocchi.

Yuuna: She was about as excited as Sono-chan!

Fumi: I can feel a connection between us. And to be honest, we haven't talked nearly enough!

Sonoko: Right~! I wanna talk a lot more. Please talk to me in detail about your favorite Lillies!

Fumi: Of course!

Yuyu: I get the feeling they'd keep talking forever if we let them.

Mai: Oh, everyone's here!

Tazusa: Are you already done with the guided tour?

Fumi: Pretty much! We wanted to take a breather here before wrapping it up with the workshop.

Miriam: I'll take it over for the workshop then.

Yuuna: There was somewhere we haven't gone to yet?

Mimori: You really can find everything here.

Karin: W-What? What's going on!?

Riri: ...! Everyone!

Kaede: Yes, let us go.

Karin: Did a Huge show up? Then we're coming with...!

Tazusa: Isn't Yuuna the only one able to transform and fight? You're not allowed on a battlefield unarmed.

Kaede: Yes. Besides, nothing proves this is the Huge you were following.

Karin: Even so, I don't wanna not do anything and let you protect us!

Mimori: If it was the correct Huge, we should be able to recover our terminals there.

Yuuna: I'll protect them! I'll make sure we don't get in your way!

Riri: Um, everyone! I'm asking you too!

Yuyu: Riri?

Riri: If I was in their place, I think this is what I would have said too.

Riri: Whatever happens, I'll protect them! Please!

Yuyu: Jeez... You never change...

Yuyu: Let's split up into two squads. The Huge extermination squad, and the Hero Club protection squad.

Mai: You sure?

Yuyu: There's no changing Riri's mind once she's like this. It's our only choice.

Riri: Thank you, onee-sama!

Riri: Let's go, Yuuna-san!

Yuuna: Yes!

Shenlin: Yujia-san! The right!

Yujia: Leave it to me...!

Kaede: Miriam-san, I will retreat temporarily, I leave you the right Huge!

Miriam: Got it!

Yuyu: ...No trace of the one.

Mai: There's nothing but the usual small. The others must be disappointed, but we still have to defeat them.

Yuyu: Yes. Let's clean up the Huge on our own so that they don't target Riri's squad behind us!

Fumi: It seems the special Huge isn't here. So it'll be over with Yuyu-sama's squad eliminating the small.

Yuuna: Sorry, and you even brought us along...

Riri: There's no need to apologize!

Fumi: Right, the Huge we're looking for seems to throw my radar off, so we can't know for sure unless we go to the battlefield.

Mimori: It is irritating all the same...

Karin: If only we had our terminals, we wouldn't need to hide and just fight with them...!

Tazusa: Don't worry about that.

Karin: But...

Riri: Then when you'll get your terminals back, let's fight a whole lot together!

Tazusa: Build up your energy until then.

Sonoko: Welp, you really got us there~.

Mimori: I promise when we get back our terminals, we will be of help to you!

Fumi: Eeh!?

Riri: W-What's wrong, Fumi-chan!?

Fumi: A cave opened at 3 o'clock! The Huge that came out of it are coming towards us!

Tazusa: What about the others?

Fumi: Still fighting! They're not in a position to back us up...!

Tazusa: Okay, only one thing to do then.

Riri: Yes! Let's fight it!

Yuuna: I'll fight too! I don't like staying put!

Karin: Is there anything we can do...!?

Fumi: Huge incoming!

Mimori: So these are... your enemies!

Tazusa: Tch... They just keep coming!

Fumi: Woah!? Another cave in the opposite direction!?

Fumi: Riri-san and I will support Tazusa-san! Yuuna-san, we leave you the others' protection!

Yuuna: Okay!

Karin: Riri-san, behind you!

Riri: !? Yaaah!

Riri: Thank you! Karin-san, you saved me!

Karin: Yeah, glad you're okay.

Sonoko: But yes... This might work.

Mimori: Sonocchi?

Sonoko: We can't actually fight, but I think we can become their eyes.

Mimori: I see... The more eyes, the easier to sense the danger.

Karin: Maybe I'll throw rocks to try to distract them. Not sure if that's gonna work though!

Fumi: You can't do something so dangerous! I know you want to fight, but what if they targeted you...!?

Yuuna: It's okay! Tougou-san, Karin-chan, Sono-chan, I'll protect them!

Tazusa: All by yourself?

Riri: Then I'll back Yuuna-san up!

Riri: Onee-sama's squad will be back any moment now, we just have to hold on until then!

Tazusa: ...It doesn't change it's a battle of endurance, sure.

Fumi: This seems to be the only way...!

Riri: Yes! Let's hold on together!

Yuyu: Phew... Is everyone okay?

Riri: Yes! No injuries here!

Yuuna: Is it over?

Shenlin: Yes, we destroyed the cave the Huge were appearing from, our duties are now complete.

Kaede: Still, two caves appearing so close to you.

Mai: Great job holding on. You did well, Tazusa.

Tazusa: I'm always telling you to not pat my head in public.

Fumi: Karin-san and the others helped us too!

Yujia: What do you mean?

Miriam: I thought they couldn't fight without their terminals?

Mimori: We played the role of eyes in their backs, to inform them of incoming Huge attacks.

Karin: And I threw rocks to distract them, even without transforming, this much is natural for the perfect Hero.

Yuyu: How reckless... Did you know what could have happened at the first wrong move?

Yuuna: Yes, but this is how we do things.

Yuuna: In every situation, we help people as much as we can.

Yuuna: That's what the Hero Club, and being a Hero is about!

Mai: Mai thought the same as Yuyu at first, but these girls look pretty used to fighting.

Mai: Seems like you always kept in mind your limits and acted accordingly. I guess you earned the name of Hero Club.

Yuyu: ...Haa, fine. I'll leave it at that. We're the ones who agreed to expose you to danger in the first place.

Mai: Fufu, you're not honest, Yuyu. You still have to thank them properly.

Yuyu: Please do not push your luck.

Shenlin: Even though they were small class, your movements during our fight were in no way ordinary.

Shenlin: I can presume you also had to overcome many hardships.

Riri: As expected of a Hero!

Yuuna: Ahaha, I'm happy to hear you say it.

Kaede: Now that we have accomplished our duties, it is time to return.

Mai: Yep, let's go back.

Yuyu: The Hero Club...

Riri: Onee-sama, is something wrong?

Yuyu: No, nothing.


--- Chapter 3 - Modest Love ---

Yuuna: Hey, Riri-san. What did Yuyu-san want?

Riri: Uuh, she just told us to wait in the Legion waiting room with you, so...

Mimori: Did something happen...?

Mai: Sorry about the wait.

Riri: Mai-sama!

Matsuri: Good day to you, everyone.

LG Eir (Shinshi tai) - Second Year - Hata Matsuri

Riri: Eh, Matsuri-sama!? Why are you here!?

Matsuri: I've heard from Yuyu and Mai.

Yuyu: ...Sonoko-san and Karin-san don't seem present however?

Yuuna: If you're looking for Sono-chan, she went on a walk around the school early this morning with Fumi-san.

Kaede: Fumi-san too, what are they doing...

Mimori: Sonocchi and Fumi-san seem to have extremely good chemistry.

Mai: If Fuumin's with her, then it's no problem, right?

Yuyu: I'm worried for a different reason... but you're right. Let's ignore them for now.

Yuuna: And Karin-chan, uuh... she looked a little down...

Mimori: She is the most proud of being a Hero, so I think she has grown very impatient after having our terminals stolen.

Mai: I see... Alright, leave Karin to Mai.

Yuuna: Really?

Yuyu: You can trust Mai. She excels at this sort of things.

Mai: You heard her. Yuyu, Matsuri, you're in charge of the rest!

Yuyu: Let us proceed to the main subject then.

Matsuri: Yes. Once again, Hero Club. I am a second year at Yurigaoka, and member of the student council, Hata Matsuri.

Matsuri: To be honest, I would like to receive your help, I have a request for the Hero Club. Even though it's simply an odd job...

Riri: Is that...!

Yuuna: A request to the Hero Club!? Thank you!

Yuyu: At the condition that you are accompanied by the Hitotsuyanagi team.

Mimori: Even so, being able to do our club activities is a joy!

Matsuri: Since you have accepted, can I proceed?

Yuuna: Yes! Of course!

Mimori: We will work hard enough to make up for Sonocchi and Karin-chan's absence!

Matsuri: Thank you. I'd like to request you to display documents on the school's bulletin boards.

Matsuri: You can come pick them up at the student council room later, is that okay?

Yuuna: Yes! Let's do this, Tougou-san!

Mimori: Yes!

Riri: Yuuna-san, can we help too?

Yuuna: You would?

Kaede: How kind of you Riri-sa--wait, "we"?

Riri: Yes! Onee-sama, Kaede-san! Us!

Yuyu: ...Well, we have to accompany them. Let's help while we're at it.

Sonoko: Pwaah! Tea is delicious when you listen to such precious stories!

Fumi: Would you like more?

Sonoko: Yes, one more!

Sonoko: ...But maybe I'm drinking too much? Listening to you is making me so excited I get thirsty~.

Fumi: Ahaha, I understand. I'm haven't had nearly enough either!

Sonoko: Yes! I wanna listen to much more stories of Lilies.

Fumi: Now, what will the next one be...

Sonoko: Hey, it came up earlier, but what kind of Lilies are there in the Alfheim legion?

Fumi: They caught your interest? You have an eye for this, Sonoko-san!

Fumi: If we're talking Schutzengel from Alfheim, it's gotta be Amano-sama and Kusumi-san!

Fumi: Kusumi-san is always stuck to Amano-sama. I've heard it was Kusumi-san who applied for the Schutzengel pact too!

Fumi: Usually, the older student applies for it, it's a very rare occurrence!

Fumi: By the way, Amano-sama has a Schutzengel of her own, her name is Maki Wakana-sama!

Sonoko: A Schutzengel's Schutzengel!?

Mito: This type of 3-sisters relationship is called a "norun"!

Sonoko: 3 sisters...! Only 2 already has an incredible destructive power, but to think it could go further...!

Sonoko: Aah, my creatives urges are getting stimulated~. More! Tell me more Lily stories...!

Fumi: Right, next...

Shenlin: Good day, Fuumin-san, Sono-san.

Yujia: Sono-san?

Shenlin: This is the way Yuuna-san calls her, you could say it rubbed off me.

Sonoko: Good day! Don't worry, call me however you like!

Yujia: We can hear your happy chatting from outside the lounge.

Shenlin: Thus Yujia-san voiced her desire to join you, would you mind?

Sonoko: Of course that's fine! Right, Fuumin-san!?

Fumi: Yes!

Shenlin: Thank you. It is an amazing thing you have opened your heart to each other so quickly. I am a little jealous.

Sonoko: Fufufu~, I guess "preciousness" is a common language that can be understood in every world~.

Yujia: I-I wonder about that...?

Sonoko: Of course, watching the two of you is also exciting~!

Shenlin: Us, you say?

Sonoko: I've heard about a lot of Lilies from Fuumin-san, and a lot of couplings had my interest, but yours is especially stimulating!

Yujia: You're happy that you think we're close, right...?

Sonoko: Of course! I'm happy I met two people who really stimulate my creative urges in that way.

Sonoko: Okay... While you're both here, let's put these feelings on paper!

Shenlin: What are you writing?

Sonoko: A memo for novel writing~.

Fumi: Sonoko-san's hobby is writing novels, she said.

Shenlin: Oh, I see. I may be particularly interested in the kind of stories you write. Would you please let me read one?

Sonoko: Of course... At least I'd like to, but they're all in our original world...

Yujia: I see, that's a shame, Shenlin.

Yujia: (I've got a feeling we shouldn't press further...)

Fumi: I am also interested in the kind of stories you write!

Yujia: (Fuumin!?)

Sonoko: Stories about girls of many secrets~!

Sonoko: Neither sisters, nor roommates, neither too close not too distant, at a comfortable distance... and fantasies!

Sonoko: Ephemeral but beautiful stories... and a little heart-throbbing.

Shenlin: How delightful. If only I could have read one.

Sonoko: Ehehe~. If I manage to write one during our stay, I'll tell you right away!

Shenlin: Yes, please. I'm looking forward to it, right? Yujia-san.

Yujia: Y-Yeah...

Miriam: When I thought it was lively in here, it was you. What're you talking about?

Shenlin: Sono-san is apparently a novel writer, she was telling us about it.

Miriam: Ooh, novels? You've been keeping a memo, is this reference for your novels?

Fumi: Aah! Sono-san, this is bad!

Fumi: I haven't introduced you to another hot Schutzengel!

Sonoko: If you say so, then it must really be something! I can't wait!

Miriam: What the...? I can feel something ominous in the air...

Shenlin: Fufu, what could it be?

Yujia: Um... Miriam, do your best...

Fumi: Miriam-san, please show us around the arsenal like you said before!

Miriam: This is Moyu-sama's workshop. By the way, mine is right next to here.

Sonoko: Is this Moyu-sama your onee-sama, Mii-san?

Miriam: Yeah, she was in the middle of CHARM maintenance earlier, she must probably be still working.

Shenlin: By the way, what is this box you're carrying, Mii-san?

Yujia: You bought it on the way, but what is it?

Miriam: Hm? This? They're donuts.

Miriam: I thought while I'm going to the workshop, I might as well get sugary presents.

Sonoko: Such care and kindness towards your onee-sama... so that's what a schild is!

Fumi: Miriam-san has a lot of admiration for Moyu-sama! This could make it onto the Lily newspaper!

Miriam: Wooi!? Stop, that's embarrassing!

Moyu: Huh? I thought someone was making a lot of noise, but you're back Groppi. And... not alone, I see.

Second year - Mashima Moyu

Miriam: Sorry about the noise. I thought it was about time for you to want some sugar, so I bought you donuts.

Moyu: Thank you, Groppi! Nothing like a caring younger sister! There, there.

Miriam: Wha-, not in front of people!

Sonoko: Byooooooo!

Yujia: Here is Sonoko-san's mysterious reaction again.

Miriam: What's that...?

Sonoko: Don't mind me! Just enjoying some eye and heart candy!

Miriam: Will you stop!?

Moyu: ...Oh? I don't think I recognize you.

Sonoko: Second year at Sanshuu Middle School and Hero Club member, I'm Nogi Sonoko! Nice to meet you~!

Fumi: They're our guests who came from another world in search of a strange Huge!

Moyu: Aah, I heard the rumors! I wanted to hear more about you!

Moyu: I've heard some girl defeated Huges without a Charm or Magie, but only with her fists!

Moyu: It's true that you can repel Huge up to middle class using regular weapons, but fatally injure them without the use of Magie is a different story. I can't help but want to know the principle behind it!

Shenlin: It seems they've become a rumor.

Yujia: I didn't know.

Sonoko: Fighting with her fists, you must mean Yuuyu. To be exact, she wasn't fighting bare-handed.

Sonoko: I don't know what Magie is, but the Heroes' power is given by Shinju-sama, so I can assume that it has the power to defeat Huge in this world.

Fumi: Shinju-sama... The god from your world if I remember correctly.

Moyu: A god! A world where their existence has been proven... Hey, could you tell me about that in detail!?

Sonoko: Sure~, anything I can answer.

Miriam: ...She's awfully excited.

Yujia: Maybe they are on the same wavelength.

Miriam: ...Are they really?

Shenlin: My, Mii-san. Are you jealous?

Miriam: Of course not. I understand this is Moyu-sama's dedication to her research.

Fumi: But I can see some loneliness in your expression!

Moyu: What's that? Is Groppi feeling lonely?

Miriam: Why is this the only thing you caught!? I'm not lonely!

Moyu: Yes, yes, I'll leave it at that. Let's eat the donuts you bought together later.

Miriam: ...Y-Yeah.

Sonoko: Aah, so this is what you meant by hot Schutzengel earlier...!

Fumi: Exactly! I thought this would be the creative stimulation you were looking for!

Sonoko: Such an intimate sight is a treat for the eyes and heart~!

Shenlin: I can imagine this is the same for the Hero Club.

Yujia: Yes. We can feel the mutual trust, I think it's a nice relationship.

Sonoko: ......

Fumi: Sonoko-san?

Sonoko: Ah, no. It just took me surprise how they said something so happy all of a sudden~.

Sonoko: I should go back to the others. I'm starting to miss everyone's faces!

Karin: I went to take a walk because I wanted to be alone, but...

Karin: I'm totally lost... Where am I...?

Karin: Haa... What am I doing...

Tazusa: Ah.

Karin: Waah, Ta-Tazusa-san!? What were you doing in the bushes!?

Mai: Ooh, here she is. We finally found her. Nice one, Tazusa.

Mai: Mai-san too!?

Mai: We heard from the others you left on your own, so we went looking for you.

Tazusa: I looked for cats at the same time.

Karin: Y-You were looking for me? Why?

Mai: This Garden is pretty big, right? It'd be bad if you got lost.

Karin: I-I see... You did save me...

Mai: Alright, we found Karin, it's time for Mai to take a nap.

Karin: Eh?

Tazusa: Mai-sama is always like this. And I often play with cats around here.

Karin: ...Maybe this isn't for me to say, but aren't you way too carefree?

Mai: Really?

Karin: It occurred to me when we fought this Huge... monster before.

Karin: I also fight monsters in my original world, but there are none in ordinary life, no one besides us Heroes even knows they exist.

Karin: But in this world, anyone can fall victim to a Huge.

Karin: How can you be that carefree in a world infested with these monsters?

Mai: It's not always the same. When it's time to fight, we fight, that's what it means to risk your life.

Mai: But it would be exhausting to be on edge all the time. It's important to let loose when you need to.

Tazusa: Even so, aren't you letting loose too often?

Mai: It all depends on your point of view.

Mai: Karin, it's not like your life was in danger all the time in your world, right?

Karin: ...Yeah, maybe.

Tazusa: Do you really need to strain yourself so much?

Mai: Exactly, you should take things less seriously like Mai.

Tazusa: Mai-sama is a pro in that field, you can have trust in her.

Karin: What do you mean a pro!?

Mai: Exactly, that's the spirit.

Karin: Haa... That way to let loose, it's like I'm dealing with Yuuna and the others.

Tazusa: Is it?

Karin: I think they understand, but they're pretty optimistic. So sometimes I think I have to snap them out of it.

Mai: Tougou seems pretty serious to me though.

Karin: She's surprisingly not. When it comes to Yuuna, you never know what may happen. For Yuuna, it's clear. And when Sonoko isn't serious, she's a complete wild card.

Karin: Maybe I should go get our terminals back by myself...

Mai: Fufu, you love the other Hero Club girls a whole lot.

Karin: Uh... W-Well, we're comrades.

Mai: By the way, why are you so fixated on your terminals? I know you can't fight without them, but still.

Karin: It's not only a thing I use to transform. It's also the proof I am a Hero.

Karin: Being acknowledged as a Hero is something I had to compete with many others to finally come out on top and receive it.

Karin: I have the feelings and hopes of all the others who couldn't make it on my back. That's why I absolutely can't afford let this terminal go!

Tazusa: Other people's hopes...

Mai: ...I see how deep it goes now.

Mai: Alright, let's get it back!

Karin: Eh?

Tazusa: Isn't that the opposite of what you said earlier? We don't even know where the Huge is.

Mai: That's where we go information gathering. We may learn something if we ask the students who came back from their duties.

Karin: I guess it's better than wandering aimlessly...?

Mai: Tazusa, will you help us?

Tazusa: ...I don't have a choice.

Mai: Let's begin asking around!

Karin: Thanks, Tazusa-san, Mai-san.

Tazusa: But you'll have to help me look for cats in exchange next time. There are some around here, but they always take time to find.

Karin: Fufu, piece of cake!


--- Chapter 4 - Happy Memories ---

Mimori: There are more documents to display like the student council asked us than I had expected, it's a challenge.

Kaede: Both you and Yuuna-san were quite energetic.

Mimori: Because this is a long-awaited Hero Club activity.

Mimori: I wonder where Yuuna-chan is about now...

Kaede: You have no reason to worry. Riri-san and Yuyu-sama are with her.

Kaede: Yes, right... With Riri-san and Yuyu-sama...!

Mimori: Uum... What is the matter?

Kaede: Yuyu-sama is aaaaalways by Riri-san's side, while she could at least leave me her place in times like these!

Mimori: Huh, but didn't we decide the groups via rock paper scissors...?

Kaede: For disregarding me... I will not forgive her! Let us quickly complete our assignment and join with them as well!

Mimori: Ahaha... Riri-san must be a precious friend to you.

Kaede: Yes, obviously, although the feelings I have for Riri-san are much too deep to express only with the word "friend".

Mimori: I-I see?

Kaede: Are you not the same?

Mimori: Eh...!?

Kaede: Yuuna-san is to you the same as Riri-san is to me. Did you believe I would not notice?

Mimori: ...Am I that easy to see through?

Kaede: I do think everyone can tell how precious you are to each other.

Kaede: However, the tremendous love within your gaze, it would take someone as committed to love as I am to notice!

Mimori: Hearing someone say it, I don't know if I should be happy or embarrassed...

Kaede: What is there to be ashamed of? Display your own feelings proudly.

Mimori: You are right. I will cherish the feelings I have for Yuuna-chan.

Kaede: By the way, why does Yuuna-san... and all the Hero Club members for that matter, only call you exclusively by your family name?

Mimor: Ah, that's...

Kaede: Have you actually met them only recently?

Mimori: ...No, it was at my request. Yuuna-chan and the others have been respecting this wish ever since.

Kaede: I see, you seem to have your reasons. I am sorry I inquired simply out of curiosity.

Mimori: No, please don't mind it. Thank you for caring so much about us.

Mimori: But I find you amazing, Kaede-san. For being able to convey your feelings to Riri-san so directly.

Kaede: Fufu, but of course. There is nothing I, Kaede J Nouvel should be ashamed of.

Mimori: I am a little jealous of this.

Kaede: You should convey your feelings when you can. When words are not enough, physical contact is the way.

Kaede: Touch her gently, like a treasure!

Kaede: Well, it is incomprehensible why am I met with such resistance.

Mimori: Aah... I can understand...!

Kaede: In your case, it seems like Yuuna-san would accept holding hands, headpats or a hug from you with a smile.

Kaede: She may be slightly flustered, but that is cute in itself~.

Mimori: I understand this too...! When her cheeks turn slightly red, she's unbearably cute!

Mimori: Aah... the girls we treasure...!

Kaede/Mimori: Are so adorable...!

Yuuna: It's already sunset. We just went to the bulletin boards, but it took pretty long.

Riri: It's almost done. Let's do our best!

Yuuna: Yes! Hero Club, fight!

Yuyu: Matsuri really gave you an odd job... I'm genuinely sorry.

Yuuna: No! That's what Hero Club activities are usually like!

Riri: What did you say, again? From finding things to picking up trash, helping at stores, and even recreation!

Yuyu: What is recreation like?

Yuuna: Like puppet plays at a nursery school.

Yuuna: It's a story about heroes, but the kids are so excited and smiling happily, that even I feel happy watching them.

Riri: I get this! I also feel happy just watching you have fun!

Yuuna: I wasn't sure if it was fine having you help, but it's great if you're having fun!

Riri: Fufu, this is fun once in a while. Right? Onee-sama!

Yuyu: ...Jeez, isn't that a child-like face you're making.

Riri: Eh, do I? Ehehe...

Yuuna: Ahaha, even Yuyu-san is smiling!

Yuyu: I-I don't think I do.

Riri: No! Your smile is beautiful, onee-sama!

Yuyu: ...! I-I see... Y-Your smile is nice too, Riri.

Yuuna: ......

Yuyu: Yuuna-san, is something the matter?

Yuuna: No, I was just wondering if you're that wonderful usually.

Yuyu: I wonder... I don't pay it much...

Riri: Yes! We're always like this! Right? Onee-sama!

Yuyu: R-Right... Maybe...

Yuyu: Ahem, that was too much talking. Let's get back to work.

Yuuna/Riri: Yees!

Yuyu: (...It's like there's another Riri.)

Riri: ......

Riri: Uuh, this one goes there... Kyah!?

Yuyu: ...Hup, Riri, are you hurt?

Yuuna: Yuyu-san, nice catch!

Riri: Wawa, thank you, onee-sama.

Yuyu: Jeez, aren't I always telling you to not be so hasty?

Kaede: Aaaah!

Yuuna: Wah!? What was this voice...!?

Kude: I knew you were only using club activities as a pretext to have some fun with Riri-san!

Yuuna: Uum, please calm down, Kaede-san. Yuyu-san just caught Riri-san as she was about to fall...

Yuyu: As a sister, it was the natural thing to do.

Riri: Onee-sama...!

Kaede: Excuse me!? Could you not ignore me and lock eyes!?

Mimori: Yuuna-chan!

Yuuna: Tougou-san, nice work!

Mimori: It went by in a flash while talking with Kaede-san.

Yuuna: Eeh! Did you have some common topic?

Mimori: The girl we love... I guess.

Yuuna: Eh?

Sonoko: What's going on here~!? Did I hear the word love~?

Yuuna: Ah, Sono-chan is here too!

Mimori: Was your stroll with Fumi-san enjoyable?

Sonoko: Really! I'm so brimming with ideas I could fill up my entire new memo I just bought!

Fumi: Talking with Sonoko-san made me want to write articles too!

Fumi: ...But before that, I'll have to help you enough to make up for what I couldn't!

Karin: I-I'll help too...

Mai: Riri! Yuyu~! Are you not done yet?

Tazusa: Aah, you were hanging stuff on the board... Was it hard?

Yuuna: The Hero Club's greatest wish is to help, so it didn't feel hard in the slightest!

Yuuna: ...But would you mind if I asked for your help for the end?

Everyone: Let's do this!

Riri: It's like we're part of the Hero Club too.

Yuuna: Fufu, just a little more left! Hero Club, fight!

Several days later

Riri: A lot of people are starting to talk to you at school!

Yuuna: I'm happy everyone is cheering the Hero Club on!

Kaede: Which is all thanks to Fumi-san reporting the Hero Club's activities within the Lily newspaper.

Sonoko: I helped out by the way~!

Mimori: Sonocchi, when did you...!

Yujia: The rest is the result of days of work.

Fumi: Yes! It was worth picking up trash at the beach!

Shenlin: It seems the rumor of girls helping the student council with their odd jobs each day has spread wide.

Miriam: Hmmm...? This isn't like the rumor I heard.

Sonoko: What's the rumor you heard, Mii-san?

Miriam: It's Yuyu-sama's fan club who listens to her every wish.

Riri: O-Onee-sama's fan club...!

Kaede: What is this rumor!? I have no recollection of joining a fan club dedicated to Yuyu-sama!

Sonoko: That's not bad, but if I could choose, I'd like to be a fan of Yuyu-san and Riri-san both as a set.

Fumi: I can relate! When I write the newspaper, I make sure to write about them next to each other~!

Fumi: How their names look like next to each other is wonderful too.

Fumi: Aah... Sonoko-san, you really get it!

Yujia: Fuumin and Sonoko-san are already very close.

Shenlin: When they took a walk the other day, they already seemed like they have been close friends for years.

Miriam: I was surprised even Moyu-sama took part in their discussion.

Riri: We're already great friends too, right? Yuuna-san!

Yuuna: Yes, Riri-san!

Yuyu: You're all here already. It'll be time saved from not having to summon you.

Kaede: Is something the matter? Ah, I will let you know I have never entered your fan club!

Yuyu: ...What are you talking about?

Yuyu: Leaving that aside.

Yuyu: I've been contacted by Matsuri earlier. We knew where the special Huge's location.

All 3: !

Mai: Woops, guess we were one step behind.

Shenlin: Mai-sama, what do you mean...?

Tazusa: We've also been gathering information about this Huge.

Karin: Between Hero Club activities that is. We've been asking students who came back from their duties if they've noticed anything unusual.

Mimori: I knew you were hiding something, so that was it.

Mai: So, just earlier, we've heard from a student who just came back they may know the Huge's location.

Mai: They saw a Huge attacking other Huge, and a group of Huge running away.

Mai: From that description, it's almost guaranteed.

Yuyu: There is more to this story.

Yuyu: This Huge when we first met it, was at most middle class.

Yuyu: Although from the report, it has been sighted as currently large class.

Tazusa: You mean it's growing?

Mimori: Are growing Huge a possibility?

Fumi: It's not impossible per say, but there has been extremely few cases.

Kaede: This could be this Huge's characteristic.

Yuyu: The more we wait, the worse things could become. We have to fight it immediately.

Riri: Yes! Let's go, Yuuna-san!

Yuuna: Of course I want to, but... are you sure?

Kaede: Whether sure or not, this is not our primary objective. Once you retrieve your terminals, our fighting potential will increase!

Yujia: Let us help you this time.

Sonoko: Of course!

Karin: Yes, I'll show you what the perfect Hero can do!

Mimori: It's time to accomplish our duty... Let's go, Yuuna-chan!

Yuuna: Yes! Let's defeat this Huge and go back to our world!


--- Chapter 5 - Again Somewhere ---

Yuyu: ...We're at the coordinates Matsuri gave me.

Yuuna: My terminal isn't picking up anything.

Fumi: Leave it to me!

Fumi: ...! A group of small class Huge right ahead!

Fumi: Found the special Huge! It's coming our way while attacking other Huge!

Kaede: ! This size...!

Yujia: It's so much bigger than several days ago...! And-

Miriam: It's absorbing the strength of the small Huge!

Mai: We can't allow this any longer! Yuyu!

Yuyu: Yes. Let's retrieve the terminals while it's attacking the smaller Huge!

Shenlin: We cannot involve Tougou-san's group any longer. Riri-san, retreat for now while protecting them!

Riri: Understood! Fumi-chan, Tazusa-san, Yuuna-san. Let's prioritize their safety like last time!

Tazusa: Got it. If we have any opportunity, we'll assist the others too.

Yuuna: I won't let you touch them!

Karin: Kuh... Our terminals are right there!

Sonoko: Control yourself, Nibosshi. Our chance will come soon enough.

Tougou: Yes. Yuuna-chan and the others are fighting their hardest for our sake!

Yuuna: Riri-san, together!

Riri: Yes, let's go!

Yuuna/Riri: Yaaaaah!

Fumi: You two are in perfect sync!

Riri: Because I've been helping out the Hero Club!

Yuuna: Yes! I can somehow guess Riri-san's next move!

Riri: Let's keep it up and defeat the nearby Huge!

Yuuna: Go go!

Tazusa: What an amazing duo. But we won't lose.

Tazusa: Kuh... It's relentless even from this distance!

Kaede: It has indeed grown stronger than when we first saw it! Riri-san, all of you should take more distance!

Riri: Onee-sama! Everyone!

Yuyu: We're fine! Focus on their protection!

Yuuna: But how are we gonna get our terminals from so far away...!

Karin: Where even are they?

Sonoko: Uum... Inside its belly?

Tazusa: Does it have one?

Yuuna: I don't know. But... I think you're not supposed to pull there.

Riri: Yuuna-san... I'll protect them! So you-

Yuuna: ...!

Yuuna: Thank you, Riri-san! I'll be back soon!

Yuuna: (It's my fault if their terminals got stolen back there.)

Yuuna: (And if they didn't, they wouldn't have needed to be in that much danger...!)

Yuuna: (So this time... I'll get them back!)

Kaede: Yuuna-san, where are you going...!?

Yuuna: I wanna get back our terminals from this Huge!

Yuyu: But that's... Okay! We'll take care of the surrounding Huge!

Yuuna: Thank you!

Shenlin: Let us clear the path! Yujia-san!

Yujia: Yes!

Mai: Okay, us too! Miriam, let's go!

Miriam: I'm on it!

Shenlin: Now!

Yuuna: Yes!

Yuuna: Give back!

Yuuna: Everyone's precious things!

Yuuna: Herooo puuuunch!!!

Yuuna: ...Oooooooh!

Kaede: The Huge spit something out!

Mai: But it's going in a weird direction!

Karin: Aah!? O-Our precious terminals~!?

Riri: I'll catch them...!

Tazusa: No way, there's too many Huge!

Sonoko: ...!

Karin: Wai-, Sonoko! What're you doing!?

Mimori: Sonocchi!?

Fumi: So-Sonoko-san! Watch out!

Sonoko: These terminals are important to us! I have to get them back!

Fumi: I won't let you touch Sonoko-san!

Sonoko: Thank you, Fuumin-san!

Sonoko: Ca~tch!

Fumi: F-From another direction!?

Sonoko: !?

Fumi: Sonoko-san!?

Yuuna: Sono-chan!

Riri: Eh, no way...!

Fumi: Sonoko-san...! Ah!?

Sonoko: That was way too close~!

Sonoko: Barely made iiiit! Smug!

Fumi: S-Sonoko-san... What is this outfit!?

Yuuna: Phew! Sono-chan is safe!

Karin: Don't make us worry, come on!

Sonoko: Sorry, everyone~! But it's okay! The terminals and I are both safe!

Mimori: That isn't... Why have you done something so dangerous...!?

Sonoko: Because they're important to us, right? Wasshi.

Mimori: Sonocchi... Yes...!

Sonoko: Alright, now that we're ready to fight, let's do this!

Kaede: So it would seem Sonoko-san safely retrieved their terminals!

Miriam: She looks different from Yuuna. She looks almost like Charmy.

Shenlin: Our next priority is for Sonoko-san to give their terminals to the others.

Shenlin: Yujia-san, Miriam-san and I will keep the Huge at bay. Yuyu-sama, you can give the others a hand!

Yuyu: Yes, understood!

Yuuna: Sono-chan, I'll be right here!

Tazusa: Tch... There's so many of them, I can't get close to Sonoko and the others.

Karin: We have to get closer... After what Sonoko went through to get them back!

Mimori: Are enemy numbers increasing again...?

Riri: At this rate, let alone reach them, we won't even...!

Yuuna: Riri-san, are you okay?

Riri: Yes! We're fine, but Fumi-chan, and Sonoko-san!

Yuyu: We know. Some are targeting Mai and Kaede-san as well.

Yuyu: Let's defeat the Huge standing in our way!

Riri: Yes!

Karin: ...

Sonoko: Woah, isn't that too many of them!?

Fumi: Their movements are strange, even if they're trying to flee! Maybe they're being controlled by the special Huge somehow...?

Kaede: Fumi-san, what are you standing around vacantly for!?

Fumi: Wah, Kaede-san! You saved me!

Mai: Things are just gonna get worse! We gotta regroup and rally up!

Sonoko: I wanna give the others their terminals... Get out of the way!

Sonoko: Waah!? The terminals!?

Mai: That was a close one.

Sonoko: Thank you, Mai-san!

Karin: Sonoko!

Sonoko: Eh, Nibosshi?

Karin: Throw my terminal this way!

Sonoko: Eeh!?

Kaede: That would be much too reckless.

Fumi: Maybe the distance isn't that big, but what if a Huge attacked it in the air...!

Karin: I'll catch it! Hurry!

Sonoko: Nibosshi... You get mad at me for being reckless, but what you're asking is even worse.

Sonoko: But fine! Nibosshi! Promise you'll catch it!

Fumi: A-Are you serious!? She just threw it into the air!

Kaede: A Huge is coming its way!

Mai: Guess I gotta get serious then!

Mai: (I can throw it this way from here... but it's still a little too far away.)

Tazusa: Mai-sama! This way!

Mai: You shook them off first, huh! It's all yours!

Tazusa: Now to return it to Riri-

Tazusa: Yuyu-sama!

Yuyu: Yuuna-san, give this to Karin-san!

Yuuna: Y-You're really passing the terminal around!

Karin: Yuuna!

Yuuna: !

Riri: Yaaaah!

Riri: Yuuna-san, give it to her while you can!

Yuuna: Thank you, Riri-san! Karin-chan!

Karin: Yuuna... Everyone, thank you!

Karin: With this-

Karin: Now's my time to shine!

Karin: Sanshuu Middle School second year, Hero Club member, Miyoshi Karin!

Karin: Look closely at the strength of the perfect Hero!

Karin: As long as I have my terminal, you're mine!

Karin: I'll vent all my anger until now on you!

Mai: Ooh! That's what Karin looks like transformed!

Tazusa: Show us the strength of your companions' feelings on your back like you said.

Karin: Fufu, with the perfect Hero in the fight, it'll make things easier for the Hitotsuyanagi squad.

Tazusa: By the way, I've been wondering about that, what's a "perfect Hero"?

Karin: Eh, you're asking this late!? But fine. A perfect Hero is-

Mai: I'm itching to know about that, but we have to do something about the Huge first!

Tazusa: Got it!

Karin: So you're not listening!? Aah, fine! Let's finish this first!

Fumi: You're amazing! Defeating Huge like it was nothing!

Yuuna: They're really motivated!

Kaede: Thanks to this, we are now able to reunite with them!

Sonoko: Sorry for the delay, Wasshi!

Mimori: Thank you. I'm glad you're safe, Sonocchi.

Mimori: Then... Me too!

Mimori: I have but one goal.

Mimori: To assist the Hitotsuyanagi team who protected us all this time, I will accomplish my duty.

Mimori: To destroy the Vertex--no, the Huge!

Kaede: So you were a sniper, Tougou-san!

Yuuna: Hooray! Now everyone can transform!

Yuyu: We have gained our full fighting potential. Let's crush this Huge once and for all!

Mimori: I will cover you!

Shenlin: Kuh...!

Miriam: We can't attack like we want!

Riri: Everyone, are you okay!?

Yujia: Yes, we're fine, but... there are so many small, and the special is hard to contain...

Miriam: Sorry, we got pushed so far back.

Riri: Thank you! But you don't need to contain it anymore!

Yujia: Wah, everyone, these outfits...!

Shenlin: I see, you've accomplished your objective.

Mai: Finally, we can focus on the big one.

Kaede: Let us go.

Riri: Yes! Hitotsuyanagi squad-

Yuuna: Hero Club-

Yuuna/Riri: To battle! Fight!

Yujia: Let's reduce the small class enemy numbers to some extent. Can I help you?

Mimori: Yes, of course!

Mimori: There really is too many to handle...!

Shenlin: The two of us will protect you!

Sonoko: Don't worry about a thing and shoot!

Miriam: We're here too!

Fumi: Yes! I'll assist you what little I can!

Yuyu: They're taking down the small class.

Yuuna: Let's get closer while we can!

Mai: Fufufu, do you think you can keep up with my speed?

Karin: I'm not slow either, just you watch!

Tazusa: These 2 are really into it.

Tazusa: Leave the small ones to us. You go for the big one!

Riri: Understood!

Yuyu: Just a little more-

Riri: Eh, it ejected some egg-looking things!?

Yuuna: They're gonna explode!

Kaede: Are you saying these are bombs!?

Mimori: We'll shoot them down!

Yujia: We did but... There's even more Huge...!

Shenlin: Besides, if they cannot be taken down in one shot...!

Miriam: Then it's my turn!

Fumi: Miriam-san, what are you going to do?

Miriam: If I don't use it now, then when!?

Miriam: Urayaaaaaaah!

Sonoko: Waah, cool one, Mii-san!

Miriam: Wah ha ha! That'll be enough for a while!

Kaede: Wonderful, Miriam-san!

Yuyu: Let's put an end to this!

Yuuna: Yaaaah!

Kaede: It will not be that easy!

Riri: It's fine! We got this far, we'll win!

Kaede: Yes, obviously! As long as I am here, defeat is out of the question.

Yuyu: Riri, now!

Riri: Yuuna-san!

Yuuna: Riri-san!

Yuuna/Riri: Yaaaaaah!!!

Riri: Haa... Haa...W-We somehow did it...!

Yuuna: Yes! We did it! Riri-san, thank you!!

Riri: Wah! Yu-Yuuna-san!?

Mimori: Yuuna-chan, Riri-san can't breathe.

Yuuna: Sorry, I was so happy I just-.

Riri: Ahaha, it's fine. I understand how it feels.

Kaede: Indeed. We have retrieved what needed to be, and defeated the enemy.

Yuyu: It's not over yet. We can't leave the small Huge go away.

Yuuna: Right!

Yuuna: One last time!

Riri: Phew... We defeated all the nearby Huge.

Karin: That means we accomplished our duty.

Shenlin: Congratulations, everyone.

Yujia: Wait, if it's over, then they'll...

Sonoko: Yes. It's time for goodbyes~.

Fumi: Aah, is it!? Uuh~... I wanted to talk more with you, Sonoko-san!

Sonoko: Fuumin-san...! Me too~! I wanted to look at the garden of Schutzengel~!

Sonoko: The relationship between Mii-san and Moyu-san, between Shenlin-san and Yujia-san, I wanted to bask in them longer!!

Miriam: Really being honest, huh...

Yujia: What do you mean bask...?

Sonoko: Fuumin-san, you'll have to tell me when you make your own Schutzengel pact! It's a promise!

Fumi: Ahahaha...

Shenlin: Is there such a thing as a way to cross worlds?

Sonoko: Ah, you too, Shenlin-san! It's a shame I couldn't give you the novel I wrote during our stay, but it'd make me happy if you read it.

Yujia: Eh, did you really write one!?

Shenlin: Sono-san, I will gratefully read it.

Fumi: I'll read it too!

Mai: Ahaha, Sonoko really is a weird one, huh.

Karin: Uum, Mai-san, Tazusa-san. It wasn't long, but thanks for the help.

Tazusa: I don't know about Mai-sama, but I didn't do anything.

Mai: Yes you did. Looking for cats together, taking a nap, that was fun, right?

Tazusa: I never said it wasn't fun.

Karin: Fufu, I had fun too. I'll never forget how cats gathered around you.

Tazusa: Actually, I'd rather you forgot about that.

Mai: By the way, about what Tazusa asked during our battle, what's a "perfect Hero"?

Karin: You're still asking me that!? But it's already time to leave!

Tazusa: It'll feel like I didn't get closure if I let this opportunity go.

Karin: I-I guess... Uuh, a "perfect Hero" is-

Kaede: Tougou-san, what a shame I could not ask about the beginning of your love for Yuuna-san and the memories you made.

Mimori: I have learned a lot from the way you convey your feelings. Even after I return to our world, it will remain in my heart.

Kaede: Yes, please do so. Your love towards Yuuna-san does not pale in comparison to my love towards Riri-san.

Mimori: Yes!

Kaede: Fufufu...

Mimori: Ufufu...

Yuuna: Tougou-san, what're you talking about?

Mimori: No, it's nothing.

Yuyu: Kaede-san, I hope you didn't teach Tougou-san anything weird...

Kaede: How scandalous! I was simply explaining the matter of love to her!

Riri: Love...?

Yuyu: Which makes me feel even more uneasy.

Mimori: Please don't worry. Kaede-san taught me only what was necessary.

Yuuna: What? I wanna know!

Mimori: I will teach you once we return to our world.

Kaede: You too Riri-san... I shall...

Yuyu: No thank you.

Kaede: I wasn't talking to you!

Riri: Ahaha...

Yuuna: So this is the last time we talk.

Riri: I'll never forget the Hero Club activities we did together!

Yuuna: Thank you. I was happy I got to do our club activities in this world!

Yuuna: This may be where we part ways... but

Riri: Perhaps we will meet again someday.

Yuuna: I guess I won't say farewell then.

Yuuna: I believe we'll meet again! Riri-san, Hitotsuyanagi team, until next time!

Riri: We'll see each other again!
