- Akamine Yuuna no Shou 1-4N
- [Zouzu city - Sayabashi] [1]
- Kir: The reason we were chosen is to fulfill a special duty. Me as a Miko, and you two as signal arrows.
- Mir: Miroku heard... was told that we would be performing rituals.
- Kir: Yeah. We will be driving away monsters, praying for bountiful harvests and good health.
- Aka: Like the Taisha does every now and then?
- Kir: No, those are just normal rituals. Like when you pull on a bowstring, let it ring and dispel the impurities.
- Kir: We're different. We're physically releasing an arrow. And drive away monsters.
- Kir: The name for that arrow is signal arrow. In other words, you.
- Aka: Eh? We're going to be fighting monsters? Like the legendary Heroes?
- Kir: Nope, those enemies are gone. Our enemies are people who try to disturb the peace.
- Aka: Ah!
- Kir: That's why we won't be wearing any garments like the great Heroes did. We'll be silently piercing through our targets.
- Ren: Miroku was told it would be a hard duty of purging the impurities, but now it makes sense.
- Aka: A-And we, middle schoolers, are going to do that?
- Kir: Innocent girls chosen by Shinju-sama house great powers within their bodies.
- Kir: And bestowing those powers upon you through a prayer is my job.
- Kir: Your job is to exorcise evil with those paranormal powers. It's a duty that absolutely must not become public knowledge.
- Ren: Exorcise evil. In other words...
- Kir: Apparently, people who have divine power wielded against them fall into a coma.
- Kir: And in the end, whether they'll be saved or have divine judgement passed upon them is up to Shinju-sama to decide.
- Kir: I want you not to worry too much about it and just do your job as the arrows. That's what I think.
- Ren: ...
- Aka: ...
- Kir: I bet you're at a loss for words with how sudden this was. The Taisha people will tell you more.
- Kir: There's just one thing to say: Shinju-sama chose us to protect the peace from now on.
- Ren: ...That's an honour.
- Aka: Shinju-sama's will...
- Kir: For the record, "she" will be watching your training.
- Aka: Eh? Eeh? W-When you say "she", you can only mean one person, right?
- Ren: Yes. The legendary Hero who lived through the apocalyptic war...
- Aka: Nogi Wakaba-sama...
- Kir: That's just how important the signal arrows are.
- Kir: We're finally at peace, but something is in motion that threatens to return us to the days of the apocalyptic war.
- Kir: The signal arrows are to prevent that. That's what I've been told.
- Aka: If that's the case...
- Ren: Yeah. We cannot leave it be.
- ???: Akamine Yuuna and Miroku Renge honed their skills through harsh training.
- ???: A year has passed. It is now the Divine Era, year 72.
- Kir: Tonight is the night we finally begin our "rituals".
- Ren: This is all so that the people may live.
- Aka: The flames shall dance.
- ???: There are no flowers in this age. Only signal arrows that exorcise evil.
