Assault Lily Last Bullet - YuYuYu Collab - part 2

--- Chapter 1 - Proclaimed Happiness ---

Fuu: Phew~, that's the end of this. Itsuki, are you hurt?

Sanshuu Middle School Hero Club member - Inubouzaki Fuu

Itsuki: Nice work, onee-chan. I'm fine.

Sanshuu Middle School Hero Club member - Inubouzaki Itsuki

Fuu: Still though, how long will this have to go on for...?

Itsuki: We don't know where we are. And we can't contact the others either...

Fuu: Aah, come on! You'll make my girl power I worked so hard to gain drop!

Itsuki: It's not something you can just-

Itsuki: Eh, it really dropped!?

Fuu: It can't just physically drop!

Fuu: There's more of those monsters. Let's go, Itsuki!

Itsuki: Yes!

As we followed a strange Vertex which had appeared in the Jukai, us, the Sanshuu Middle School Hero Club ended up in another world!

It would seem Shinju-sama had sent us to this world with the goal to defeat this runaway Vertex.

Here we met girls called Lilies, who fight not against Vertex, but different monsters, the Huge.

With the help of Riri-san and other Lilies, we somehow successfully defeated this Huge!

I was happy, but then came the time to say goodbye... It was sad to part with those we carried out our club activities together, but I'm sure we'll meet again.

For that reason, I didn't say farewell, but see you next time.

Then we returned to our-

Yuuna: ......

Riri: ......

All 3: ......

Everyone: ......

Yuuna: ...So how do we get back?

Miriam: You don't know!?

Kaede: What was this profoundly touching parting for!?

Karin: N-No. Usually when the fight is done, we just return to the school rooftop where the shrine is.

Sonoko: Maybe we'll go back if we wait? Wasshi, is Shinju-sama saying anything?

Mimori: Well... Not that I can hear... What could be the meaning of this?

Mai: Why not go back to Yurigaoka? It's not like standing around will help with anything.

Miriam: Is this Shinju-sama aware we defeated the special Huge in the first place?

Mimori: Probably...

Kaede: A most indecisive answer.

Mimori: While I am able to hear Shinju-sama's voice in the form of oracles, it isn't like we can communicate.

Yuyu: Defeating the special Huge is your objective, and once you accomplish it, you'll return to your world-

Yuyu: If we presume this condition was correct, there are two possibilities I can think of.

Yuyu: One, there is a time lag between the Huge's defeat and Shinju-sama learning of it. The second is-

Yuyu: There is another special Huge besides the one we defeated.

Tazusa: Another one of these...

Shenlin: This is however a perfectly plausible option.

Yujia: Eh, are you saying...?

Yuuna: W-Wait a second! I'll check on my terminal!

Karin: Oh right, now that the Huge we defeated isn't interfering with them anymore, we can use our terminals!

Yuuna: Ah!! T-This...!!

Karin: I'm picking up a Vertex signal!

Sonoko: We were so relieved after defeating it, we didn't think to check on our terminals... That was a careless blunder.

Yuuna: So our duties aren't over yet. Everyone, let's go there immediately!

Mimori: Yes, obviously.

Riri: Onee-sama, us too!

Yuyu: Yes, the special Huge's extermination is the Hitotsuyanagi team's responsibility. Let us come along with them.

Karin: ...Hey, wait. Right next to the Vertex, look...!

Sonoko: This signal, could it be... Fuumin-senpai and Ittsun!?

Yujia: But Fuumin is right here...?

Yuuna: Ah! You call them the same way!?

Kaede: Have you only now made that observation!?

Fumi: Uum, so not me but a Hero Club member... I assume?

Sonoko: Right, it's these two~. Who would've thought they also came to this world!

Riri: B-But they're fighting the special Huge all by themselves... It's too dangerous!

Mimori: If our terminal's display is correct, they are still far enough away. I don't think they have engaged in battle yet.

Yuuna: But they could run into each other any moment. We have to save them, quick.

Riri: Yes! Let's hurry!

Yuuna: Can you tell where this is from the terminal's display?

Riri: Ah, yes, probably.

Shenlin: Truthfully, by layering it with a map of this world, we could have an approximate understanding of the location.

Shenlin: This is the Koshu area... At the designated retreat location.

Karin: Designated retreat location... Just the name sounds dangerous. What's that?

Fumi: Ah, no, there are no functional wide-range area defense, so it's more dangerous than Yurigaoka, but...

Fumi: While the probability to run into Huge is high, there are Lilies who remain there to fight them, so they won't run into danger right away.

Miriam: It's not like there's some kind of incomprehensible gas leaks.

Yujia: It's slight even inside the retreat area, and there's a city nearby, so I don't think it will be that dangerous.

Sonoko: I-I see... It was a little too hard for me... but I'm relieved~.

Shenlin: Although we cannot neglect the possibility of other threats. We better make haste.

Yujia: We're... almost there. Let's hurry.

Karin: The signal is pretty close...! It might be better to look at this point.

Mai: So you say, but it's nothing but trees. You couldn't see a human figure at a distance.

Kaede: Each and every retreat area is this way. Vegetation overgrowing with ease...

???: Haaaaaaah!!

Riri: W-What was that!?

Yuuna: That voice...!

Mimori: Fuu-senpai!?

Yuuna: I heard her... this way!

Fumi: Ah, there's someone over there!

Fuu: I'll smash every one of you to pieces! Soryaaaaaaahh!!

Miriam: Ooh!? What a powerful CHARM... No, that's not a CHARM.

Fumi: Either way, that is a powerful fighting style! Is she really your companion?

Yuuna: Yes! It's Fuu-senpai!

Karin: Itsuki's here too, and safe!

Itsuki: Onee-chan, to the left!

Fuu: Thanks, Itsuki! Yaaaaaah!!

Fuu: Get over here, monsters! I'm not letting you lay a finger on Itsuki!!

Fuu: But.. isn't that too many? I'd like a little rest.

Fuu: Welp, if someone listened to us, we wouldn't be in that trouble to begin with!!

Fuu: Phew... Itsuki, everything okay for you?

Itsuki: Y-Yes. But anyway, onee-chan...

Fuu: I can keep going...

Karin: You go and rest. We're taking over from now on out.

Fuu: Eh? Karin!?

Riri: Everyone, deploy! Let's eliminate all the remaining small-class Huge!

Tazusa: Got it. Not one stays alive.

Mai: Like she said. It's our turn now!

Fuu: Who are these people...? They look crazy strong...

Fuu: That'll wait! I'm not the type to rest when you tell me to!

Yuuna: These are the last ones! Haa!!

Riri: Wonderful, Yuuna-san!

Yuuna: Ehehe, it wasn't that much~. Now that things have settled down, it's time for intro-... Wawah!?

Fuu: Yuuna~!! I'm so happy, everyone is okay!

Yuuna: Please, Fuu-senpai, I can't breathe...

Fuu: I seriously thought I'd never see you again!

Fuu: Our radars didn't work, we had no idea where we were, and we didn't even know if you were okay!

Fuu: But with those unknown monsters to top it off, that was a desperate situation!

Fuu: Even so, I still did my best to protect Itsuki... So seeing all of your faces again, Uuh~!

Fuu: I'm relieved, so relived~!

Yuuna: T-That's really, urgh...

Karin: Hey, Fuu, you're strangling her!

Fuu: Ha!? S-Sorry, my bad, it's because of the sudden rush of emotions.

Mimori: Yuuna-chan, are you all right?

Yuuna: Y-Yeah, I'm good.

Itsuki: I'm really happy you're all safe...! I was so relieved it's like I lost all strength...

Sonoko: You're pretty calm compared to Fuumin-senpai~.

Itsuki: No... Rather, when onee-chan is worked up like this, it actually calms me down...

Sonoko: Aah, oh right. It's like a mysterious rule that says you can't both panic at the same time.

Riri: Y-You must have gone through a lot... I'm glad we could find you.

Fuu: Ha! Oh yeah, I focused on the fight earlier, but who are these people?

Yuuna: It's time for the introductions!

Mimori: They are the ones whose mission it is to fight the enemies in this world... the Huge.

Sonoko: Kinda like us.

Karin: And after we arrived in this world, they helped us out a lot.

Yuuna: They showed us around the school, did club activities with us, we've become great friends. Ehehe.

Itsuki: School...? Are you all students too, then?

Miriam: That's basically it.

Yuyu: ...Fumi-san, any reaction on the Huge Searcher?

Fumi: Uum... Nothing at the moment.

Mimori: Likewise on our terminals. No signal of Vertex to report.

Kaede: Which would mean the special Huge has disappeared.

Yuyu: As long as we could confirm it, that's not an issue. These 2 seem exhausted, let us go back for now.

Yuyu: Should we go into more detail from now on?

Yuuna: Yes, agreed! Fuu-senpai, Itsuki-chan, come with us!


--- Chapter 2 - Respond to Trust ---

Yuuna: Did you put it on?

Itsuki: I-Is it weird...?

Fuu: Wearing the uniform of some unknown school is an odd feeling.

Riri: Waah, you look wonderful in it!

Itsuki: T-Thank you...

Kaede: With your transformed appearance, you are bound to attract attention after all.

Tazusa: Yes, nothing looks off.

Fuu: Again, thank you for everything. For even treating our wounds...

Mai: It's all good, don't be so formal, we're Yuuna's friends too.

Yuuna: Everyone already thinks of us as friends!

Itsuki: It's amazing, did you get so close in only a few days?

Yuuna: Ehehe...♪

Fuu: ...Hm, gotcha. Then we'll also take it easy.

Fuu: Though this isn't even outside Shikoku but another world, I still can't believe it.

Karin: Seems like this is all to destroy that Vertex. Ah, here we call it special Huge, so it would be better.

Itsuki: You explained all about Lilies, Huge, and CHARMs, but...

Itsuki: I still don't really get it.

Miriam: Well, you can't really expect to understand everything about a world you've just been thrown into that easily.

Fumi: Please don't mind asking if you need anything!

Sonoko: Fuumin-san knows a whole lot about many things~.

Fuu: Uum... Wait, eh, what? Me?

Sonoko: Not Fuumin-senpai, I said Fuumin-san~.

Fumi: My name is Futagawa Fumi, and this is the way Sonoko-san chose to call me.

Yujia: I already call her Fuumin, so she's already used to the name.

Fuu: Fumi-san, so Fuumin... She's got more Fuumin factor than me!

Karin: Fuumin factor, huh.

Itsuki: Sorry, everyone. Onee-chan hasn't talked to anyone other than me for a while, so she may be overly excited.

Mai: That's all good, let's just talk a whole lot and get closer.

Fuu: Exactly! That's not everyday you get to leave Shikoku, so I wanna go sightseeing all over!

Karin: Getting closer is fine, but we didn't come here for tourism.

Riri: R-Right! We have to somehow find the special Huge and defeat it!

Yuyu: You were at this location for quite a while. Did you see the special Huge by any chance?

Itsuki: By special Huge, you mean something that looks like a Vertex, right? In that case, yes, we saw it.

Fuu: Right. While we were fighting a bunch of small enemies. We saw it eating them and getting bigger.

Tazusa: So it did eat the small...

Yuuna: Actually, we already fought a Vertex-looking Huge.

Momori: To defeat it must have been Shinju-sama's mission for us, however, we did not return to our world after its defeat...

Fuu: Aah, that's how you came to the conclusion there was another one. Makes sense.

Yuyu: These enemies are a menace we ought to eliminate. Hence why we are cooperating.

Shenlin: For that end, we require information. Have you noticed anything else while witnessing it from so close?

Fuu: Right... I guess it looked very resilient.

Fuu: Do you mean a strong defense?

Fuu: It's like we couldn't put a dent in it. It didn't look that strong at first, so we tried to defeat it.

Itsuki: But it didn't seem to take damage, and it even started regenerating... We thought it was too dangerous for the 2 of us so we stopped following it.

Shenlin: That was a proper decision. Were you to have followed it, it may have been an irreparable mistake.

Kaede: Despite its regenerating capabilities, it must require time. A continuous assault denying it of this time is a possible strategy.

Shenlin: Yes, fortunately, we are numerous enough for this strategy to succeed.

Yuyu: ...If high damage is what we are looking for, the Neunwelt Tactic could prove effective...

Karin: Newn...? What?

Yuyu: Just one of our fighting techniques.

Sonoko: It's just gonna be one enemy, I'm sure it'll be fine, right~?

Riri: It's not an insurmountable foe! If we all cooperate, I'm sure we can beat it!

Yuuna: Yes, having everyone else is reassuring!

Tazusa: There's one thing that stood out to me, and it's the small-class.

Yujia: Ah... Maybe the one Fuu-san came across absorbed even more of them than ours?

Tazusa: Yes, that one must have been wandering around Yurigaoka.

Miriam: Uhm... Compared to this, one in the designated retreat area... obviously was more likely to run into small-class.

Karin: The more it absorbs, the stronger it gets... This one could be an even stronger enemy than the last one.

Mimori: Fuu-senpai, have you noticed anything else...?

Fuu: Uum, seeing it eat the small ones was just so stunning...

Kaede: They are not aware of the one we have fought, comparison will prove difficult.

Itsuki: If we went further, we may have useful information, but...

Fuu: Our terminals didn't work, we didn't know where we were, and since it's another world it was obvious we didn't know the area.

Fuu: We didn't know what was around the corner if we chose to go too far, and for that, we didn't move any more than needed.

Tazusa: I think that was the correct choice.

Yujia: It was dangerous because you didn't know the area. Actually, it's even a dangerous region from our point of view.

Karin: Wait a second. When you said you didn't move... You slept in this forest until now!?

Fuu: No, no. Some people leaving nearby let us stay for the night.

Riri: Now that you mention, this area isn't completely deserted.

Fumi: There's only the Lilies who stayed to fight. There aren't many people living there.

Yuuna: As expected of Yuuna-senpai! Getting people to let you stay the night is amazing!

Fuu: But of course, that is the result of my girl power!

Riri: Eeh!? Girl power can...!

Karin: You don't have to take it seriously, Riri-san. Look, you're influencing the pure Riri-san!

Fuu: Don't put me as the villain, okay!?

Itsuki: Actually, we negotiated and defeated the small enemies. Then happily said something.

Itsuki: Now that I think about it, maybe they called us "Lilies".

Shenlin: Indeed, it would not be unexpected to mistake you for Lilies in that situation.

Fuu: Yeah, yeah, we went along with their stories and they called us "stray Lilies".

Tazusa: Stray...

Fuu: But if they let us stay, it has to be because my girl power worked.

Karin: You're saying that again...

Miriam: Is girl power something that can "work"...?

Itsuki: But I didn't think girls our age were fighting these things.

Yuyu: That we can agree on. To think another world is in a disastrous state.

Fuu: Let's stop the gloomy talk! It's been a few days since coming to this world, but what have you been up to?

Fuu: When we met again, you said show you around the school and club activities, right?

Yuuna: That's right, Fuu-senpai!

Sonoko: We made a Hero Club branch at Yurigaoka Girls Academy~!

Mai: Yeah, they helped out a lot with the Hero Club activities.

Fuu: I recognize the dependable Sanshuu Middle School Hero Club members! Even in another world you continue our club activities, I am proud to have you as members!

Sonoko: I've had Fuumin-san tell me about something called Schutzenge~! It's a really moving system~!

Fuu: I see you've been overly excited, but what system is that?

Sonoko: Ah, you're interested! I'll explain in detail~!

Fuu: N-No thanks! I'm good! It's gonna take all day!

Itsuki: Looks like there's a lot of fun to be had... I wonder if we'll go back to our world as soon as we defeat this Vertex.

Yuuna: Oh right, you two didn't have much time to visit this world.

Itsuki: Since we're here, I wanted to try udon outside Shikoku to know what it tastes like.

Fuu: Exactly! Otherworldly udon is a precious experience! By the way, does udon even exist here!?

Riri: Yes... We have udon, but...

Fuu: I knew it! No world can exist without the ultimate food! A world without udon is like a sea without water!

Riri: I wouldn't go that far...

Fuu: Now that I think about it... I haven't had any since we arrived here... Oh no, my hand is shaking.

Kaede: Withdrawal symptoms!? Do you eat udon that often!?

Yuuna: Udon is our soul food. It's like we can't get anything done without it.

Mimori: Now that you mention it, we haven't eaten udon either since our arrival.

Sonoko: My hand is shaking...

Miriam: Sonoko too!? Can you get addicted to udon!?

Mai: Why don't we go get some then?

Karin: I like the idea. Then right away, let's...

Karin: Woh... Is that a Huge?

Fumi: Yes, a Huge has appeared! Likely with information about the special Huge!

Riri: It's probably the Huge Fuu-san saw! Let's go!

Yuyu: It would seem udon will have to wait.

Fuu: No waaaaay!

Kaede: Here it is! The special Huge!

Yuyu: Yuuna-san, is this Huge the one...?

Yuuna: Yes, it's the Vertex-like one! Look, even my terminal is responding.

Mimori: It truly is... slightly bigger than the one we fought...

Sonoko: It's okay, Wasshi. There's nothing the Hero Club should be scared of when we're together!

Karin: We have the Hitotsuyanagi team too!

Riri: Of course!

Yuyu: Be careful! Small-class Huge are coming our way!

Yuuna: Alright! let's go, everyone!

Yuuna: Yaaaaah!

Tazusa: That's a lot of them.

Shenlin: Yujia-san and Tougou-san, we leave the back row small-class awaiting their turn to you!

Yujia: Yes... Count on us!

Mimori: Understood!

Sonoko: Wasshi and Yujia-san are amazing! ...But there's still just as many!?

Fuu: When you thought you've beaten them, another one shows up, and there's so many on the side too!

Mai: They're pushing us back...!

Karin: In that case, Mai-san, Tazusa-san and I will break through!

Fumi: You will only be surrounded! This is too dangerous!

Miriam: We've been trapped by their numbers.

Kaede: No... Their numbers are indeed worrying, however, if we have been pushed so far back, then it must be because...

Yuyu: They're organized.

Kaede: Yes, they do not attack individually, their assault is coordinated.

Yuyu: Because of their formation and systematic movements, they aren't leaving us any time to rest... Which makes us feel like their numbers are larger than they are.

Kaede: It is as if someone was commanding them...

Riri: Do you mean the special Huge does?

Sonoko: Commanding others... I think there was a Vertex like this...

Karin: You're right, there was one who could control other Vertexes! If this Huge possesses this same power...!

Mimori: Let us aim for this one first! Yujia-san!

Yujia: Yes!

Yujia: A small-class sacrificed itself for cover!?

Shenlin: I see, that is the reason.

Fuu: It's so strong already, if it keeps doing this, we'll never see the end of it!

Itsuki: Onee-chan, leave it to me!

Fuu: Itsuki!?

Itsuki: How about that...!?

Miriam: Ooh, wires!?

Mai: She stopped the small-class! Now's our chance!

Karin: Yes, let's charge!

Tazusa: Got it!

Itsuki: Kuuuh...!! I will tie them down...!

Fuu: Itsuki, a-are you okay...?

Itsuki: That much is nothing!

Itsuki: In the end... when we were together, you were the one who kept helping me. But this time I want show you... I can hold my own...!

Itsuki: I always end up getting spoiled by you, but...! I have to be more independent...

Itsuki: So you can feel more at ease, knowing that if things get tough, I'll be there with you...!!

Fuu: Itsuki...

Mimori: Yujia-san, can you provide backing for Tazusa-san and Karin-chan!?

Yujia: Of course. We have to make the best of the chance Itsuki-san gave us...!

Karin: ! Tougou! Thanks!

Tazusa: The path is open! Karin, let's move!

Karin/Tazusa: Yaaaaaah!!

Riri: They did it! It worked!!

Tazusa: Keep going!

Karin: Haaaaah!

Tazusa: ...! Did it...!?

Karin: Its wounds are closing up...!? How is it so fast!?

Sonoko: !? Wasshi, Yujia-san! Watch out!!

Yujia: Wah...!

Mimori: T-That was close...!

Yujia: A long-range attack...! It was even hiding something like this.

Mai: Wooh!? It's shooting my way too!

Kaede: This long-rage rapid fire is more than we can handle!

Yuyu: ...Everyone, temporary retreat!

Yuuna: Eeh, retreat!?

Mimori: This is unavoidable. We have to rethink our strategy.

Yuuna: R-Right, okay! Once someone gets hurt, it'll be too late!

Yuyu: Exactly. Make sure we will not get surrounded along our escape route!

Miriam: Got it!

Riri: Haa, phew... T-This far away, we'll be safe for now...

Kaede: In any case, this was unexpected. The small-class were acting as if they were its limbs.

Karin: And its regeneration speed is pretty fast. Attacks that don't aim to kill won't have a point.

Yujia: But consecutive attacks are difficult to pull off.

Mai: Every time you get close, these small-class get in the way. Even if you're shooting it from afar, they'll take the hit as shields.

Itsuki: This greatly reduces our chances to hit...

Fuu: If consecutive attacks are no good, how about one massive blow?

Yuuna: Ah! Can't you try the "Neunwelt Tactic" you talked about earlier?

Riri: The Neunwelt Tactic...!


--- Chapter 3 - Advance Forward ---

Riri: The Neunwelt Tactic...! Yes, with it, its regeneration won't be enough!

Fumi: I agree with Riri-san! The Neunwelt Tactic may be our only way to defeat it!

Yuuna: Is that Neunwelt Tactic that amazing!?

Yuyu: It is, in terms of damage, you couldn't wish for anything more.

Kaede: Nonetheless... Its practical use is slightly challenging.

Mimori: What is this Neunwelt Tactic?

Fumi: We store Magie... energy between the 9 of us in a ball called a Magie sphere, then release it.

Fumi: The ball is a the condensation of 9 people's worth of energy, so its sheer power is incredible!

Miriam: But at same time, it consumes a large quantity of Magie, which is the source of a Lily's power... It's a truly a one-shot kill trump card.

Kaede: We want to minimize the changes of failure. In this situation where interference is likely to occur, putting it into practice will not be so easy.

Yuuna: A trump card... We have one too!

Karin: Oh, yeah, "Mankai"!

Riri: Mankai... What is it like?

Karin: It dramatically increases our firepower when used. The catch is we can only use it when our Mankai gauge is full.

Karin: But it's not like we can just stay in that state forever, the time we can maintain Mankai is limited, so it's difficult to find the right time to use it.

Miriam: I see... Every world has their own drawbacks.

Fumi: Ah, what you described as Mankai may be similar to Miriam-san's Phase Transcendence.

Mimori: But the right time to use it would be now, isn't it?

Yuuna: Yes! We'll Mankai and defeat the small Huge, while the rest of you do your Neunwelt Tactic!

Sonoko ...I don't think we can Mankai.

All 3: Eh!?

Sonoko: Ah, sorry, actually, I meant except Yuuyu.

Sonoko: We had our terminals stolen right after coming to this world, right?

Sonoko: It may have been absorbed by the special Huge at that time.

Karin: No way!? Ah, you're right... My gauge is lower...

Shenlin: In that case, are only Yuuna-san, Fuu-san, and Itsuki-san in a position to use Mankai?

Yuuna: B-But the 3 of us!

Fuu: Sorry, Yuuna. We're not using it either.

Yujia: Have you also had your energy sucked out...?

Itsuki: No, actually, during our prior fight the special Huge...

Fuu: Our spirits weren't showing up and our barrier didn't work, so if nothing else worked, at least this would, then we used it.

Fuu: But we couldn't finish it off. In the end, the surrounding smaller ones were too annoying and we ran away.

Yuuna: That's what happened...

Miriam: E-Excuse me...? Another word I don't know about like spirit...

Shenlin: Mii-san, now is not the time for this.

Miriam: I-Is it...?

Kaede: To summarize, only Yuuna-san is able to Mankai, is that correct?

Yuuna: Looks like it.

Shenlin: Therefore, the Neunwelt Tactic may be our only chance.

Mai: Yep, that's how it is. It's not perfect, but it's better than looking for another way.

Mai: Rather than looking for another strategy, finding a way to make our Neunwelt Tactic work is quicker and more certain.

Yuyu: Yes, in our situation, we can only count on a reliable strategy.

Yuyu: Our problem will be... the small-class rather the special Huge. Because of their organized movements.

Kaede: Allowing them to set up their strategy would mean the high likelihood of us losing the Magie sphere.

Yuuna: Uuh...

Riri: Yuuna-san? What's wrong? Are you hurt anywhere?

Yuuna: Eh? Ah, n-no! it's just...

Yuuna: This is a Vertex from our world, but you're working so hard to defeat it.

Yuuna: I feel sorry for you, and uncomfortable...

Riri: Please don't worry about it! Our enemies aren't innocent either!

Yuuna: Rather, it makes Yuuna-chan annoyed to not be able to help you.

Yuuna: Ah, yes, that!

Sonoko: Hey... Fuumin-san. The Neunwelt Tactic consists of storing energy inside a sphere, right?

Sonoko: Maybe we could also put our Mankai gauges in that sphere?

Fumi: A Mankai gauge inside a Magie sphere...? I'm not sure.

Miriam: Uum... It's worth a try. Your Mankai gauge is a visualization of that Shinju-sama's power, isn't it?

Miriam: If your attacks work against Huge, then it's likely it has the same properties as our Magie.

Sonoko: So... We can help too~?

Yuuna: Right! You're a genius, Sono-chan!

Riri: But isn't your gauge empty? This Huge sucked it all up...

Sonoko: No, we just don't have enough to Mankai, but we still have about half left, it'll be fine! Maybe!

Miriam: Of course we have no proof it'll work. Even if doesn't mess it up, it's possibly it'll miss.

Yuuna: Just the possibility is enough. Right? Fuu-senpai.

Fuu: Yes! Hero Club five tenets! "Try not to give up"!

Fuu: We gotta do everything we can!

Fuu: Itsuki's and my gauges are both empty, so we'll keep taking down the small ones around!

Itsuki: Yes! I'll do my best, onee-chan!

Mai: Good, that's the end of this discussion then!

Kaede: Indeed, with the support of the Hero Club, our technique will know new bounds.

Yuyu: Yes, understood. We'll be counting on your assistance.

Yuuna: Of course! Yaay!

Shenlin: By counting us, that strategy will be comprised of 15 people... That is quite the wide range of variation.

Yujia: Shenlin, did you think of something?

Shenlin: Yes, we only have one chance. Our absolute priority will be to not have the sphere taken away from us.

Yuuna: It's here, it didn't go that far yet!

Sonoko: A lot of small ones as usual.

Yuyu: Everyone, we have to keep our distances as we agreed on, everyone stay in position and do not get too close to each other.

Riri: Y-Yes!

Mimori: Engagin battle. Let us take out the surrounding small-class!

Karin: Leave it to me!

Shenlin: Fuumin-san, please keep your "Hawk's Eye" active at all time to monitor the pass' course and give instructions.

Shenlin: This may a be heavy burden due to the high number of people involved in this strategy, however, we cannot succeed without you, please...!

Fumi: U-Understood! I'll do my best!

Shenlin: Just in case, if the course is comprised, Yujia-san, please be ready to eliminate the enemies.

Yujia: Got it, leave it to me.

Shenlin: One more thing, everyone, be mindful of your body orientation so you keep 2 people within your field of vision while receiving a pass.

Tazusa: Having multiple options will make it less likely for the enemies to read our next move.

Mai: They're kinda different this time. Gotta be careful.

Shenlin: Yes, whatever you do, do not let it be taken, that is your priority.

Yuuna: So... don't just pass it to the person next to you, right?

Shenlin: Think of the battlefield as divided in squares, then please try to pass it diagonally.

Shenlin: Doing so will decrease the risk of a sudden small-class rush, surrounding us.

Itsuki: And those who can't, try to reduce their numbers as much as possible... right.

Itsuki: Like this...!

Fuu: Itsuki, just don't overdo it!

Itsuki: That much is fine, onee-chan.

Karin: If you restrain them with your wires, I can kill the Huge too.

Karin: Let's combo them, Itsuki!

Itsuki: Yes, Karin-san...!

Yuyu: This should be about time.

Kaede: Yes, although many small-class still remain, the special Huge is well within firing range!

Riri: Understood, let's go! Hitotsuyanagi--

Sonoko: with Hero Club~!

Fuu: Hey! Shouldn't the club president say that!?

Yuuna: Uum, Hero Club!

Riri: Ahaha...

Riri: Now, Neunwelt Tactic, begin!

Yujia: I am first... Miriam!

Miriam: I got it! I'll put on whole bunch of Magie into it!

Yuuna: Waah...! The ball is lighting up... So that's Magie!

Riri: Yes. It would be nice if your Mankai gauge could be incorporated into it like Magie, but...

Miriam: Good, next... Tougou! You're up, catch this!

Mimori: I have it! ...!?

Mimori: I see... And this is only 2 people's worth... besides, catching it with your weapon is harder than you'd think. Everyone, be careful!

Sonoko: Ooh~, I can't wait~!

Mimori: Then my Mankai gauge... Ah...?

Mimori: The Magie sphere is shining brightly...!

Kaede: Indeed! So it appears the Magie sphere has absorbed your Mankai gauge!

Mai: Thanks to that try not to give up tenet. Our hopes of beating it just went up!

Mimori: I will be sending it... Here it is!!

Sonoko: Catch! Who do I give it to next...?

Riri: Sonoko-san, this way!

Sonoko: Riri-saaan! Here it goes...

Sonoko: Wait, wawawa!

Kaede: I will not let you!

Shenlin: Neither will I!

Sonoko: Kaede-san, Shenlin-san, thanks!

Kaede: Fufu, this much is nothing!

Shenlin: The Magie sphere has collected much Magie. It will be time to finish!

Sonoko: Okaaay! Once again, Riri-san!

Fumi: Ah, wait, Sonoko-san! Not this way!

Riri: Aah! The Huge on the path!?

Miriam: It was hiding being a dead Huge!?

Mimori: The Magia sphere deviated to a strange direction as if repelled...!

Sonoko: Riri-san, sorry!

Riri: It's fine! I'll reroute it to someone else!

Riri: Onee-sama, I'm counting on you! Yaaaah!

Riri: J-Just in tim-

Fumi: Riri-san, watch out!

Riri: Eh?

Fuu: Toryaaaaaaah!!!

Fuu: Are you okay, Riri-san?

Riri: Fuu-san, thank you!

Riri: Oh right, the Magie sphere!?

Fuu: Don't worry, you made it!

Yuyu: I would never let your effort to pick it up go to waste before my eyes!

Yuuna: Yuyu-san, me too!

Yuyu: You will not stand in our way any longer!

Yuuna: You there, move asiiiide!

Fumi: Yuyu-sama and Yuuna-san are coming up on the special Huge! Everyone, go back them up!

Tazusa: Kill every small-class we can!

Itsuki: it'll stop them, use the opportunity!

Yujia: Got it!

Karin: Counting on you, Itsuki!

Sonoko: Fu-Fuumin-san! The special Huge!

Fumi: It's attacking Yuyu-sama and Yuuna-san!?

Yuuna: Yuyu-san, watch out!

Yuyu: Yuuna-san!?

Riri/Mimori: Onee-sama!!/Yuuna-chan!!

Riri: !? Yuuna-san, what is this appearance...?

Mimori: Mankai...!

Yuyu: So this is your trump card. All my gratitude for protecting the Magie sphere.

Yuuna: It went this far thanks to everyone. I won't let it go to waste!

Yuuna: Wait, what!? The Magie sphere is inside me...!?

Yuyu: I will clear the way. Yuuna-san, deliver it the finishing blow!

Yuuna: Y-Yes! I got it!

Yuuna: Hero Club five tenets! "You're likely to succeed if you try!"

Yuyu: Haaaaaah!

Yuuna: ooooooh!

Yuyu: Now!

Yuyu: The strength you've all connected together, it's filled with everyone's feelings!

Yuuna: With my feelings, I'll put them all into this fist!

Yuuna: Goooooooooo!!!

Yuuna: Hero puuuuunchhh!!!

Riri: And the special Huge...?

Yuyu: It would seem... it has been defeated.

Mimori: No Vertex signal remaining on our terminals!

Yuuna: We did it...! We did it, everyone!!

Mai: Only the small fry left!

Miriam: With the brains commanding them gone, they don't know what to do. Now's our chance to wipe them out!

Kairn: Phew... This really is the end.

Itsuki: Yes... You defeated all the small ones so quickly. You're amazing.

Shenlin: Oh but you did an outstanding job as well, Ittsun.

Fuu: She adopted Sonoko's surname...

Yuuna: ...That means this really is the end of our duty this time!

Mimori: Yes! You did well, Yuuna-chan!

Sonoko: Are we really going back to our world now~?

Riri: Ah, right... Now that it's over, this time you'll really have to leave...

Fuu: Aah, yeah! We didn't even eat this world's udon yet!

Itsuki: Actually, we pretty much wandered this forest the whole time.

Mimori: Surely... Shinju-sama will allow us some more time.

Fuu: Eh, really? That's true!?

Mimori: To thank us for our efforts.

Riri: Did you receive an oracle, perhaps?

Mimori: Fufufu, who knows?

Sonoko: Then let's do a victory celebration~!

Yuuna: Nice idea, Sono-chan!

Fuu: Let's not waste the time we've been given. That being said, we'll have to borrow some room, will that do?

Riri: Of course, you're welcome to! Right? Onee-sama.

Yuyu: Well, I see no problem, if it is for a short while.

Itsuki: What a kind older sister.

Riri: Ehehe, she is.

Yuyu: Riri's sister...

Kaede: Here she goes again...

Sonoko: Aah... The atmosphere between these two is the most... like moving...!

Fumi: Sonoko-san! Let's talk away during this celebration!

Miriam: Just my opinion, but you two seem the closest out of anyone here.

Yuuna: Once again! We defeated the Vertex Huge! Thank you everyone~!

Riri: Thank you!!

Sonoko: I really didn't know if we were gonna make it when arrived in this world~.

Fumi: You even had your terminals taken away after all.

Yuuna: I was panicking~.

Karin: You did? I thought you were carefree and enjoying the moment.

Mai: You were panicking pretty bad though. Who knows what would've happened without Mai's relaxing technique.

Karin: No, well... Thanks for that...

Fuu: Ahaha! Karin, you're blushing~!

Karin: Shuddup!

Miriam: Thinking back on it, this probably was since we did Hero Club activities than we all grew closer together.

Yuuna: Ehehe, that's great. Doing something together really makes people get along.

Shenlin: I am sure all the relationship we have built up have played a role during our final battle.

Yujia: Yes, mutual trust is essential when entrusting our backs to each other and fighting together.

Itsuki: I'm a little jealous. I wanted to meet you sooner...

Kaede: Are you not participating in this celebration? You two are no outcasts.

Mai: Huh, are we already running low on snacks and drinks?

Tazusa: When...

Yuuna: Ah... That story may have gotten me excited and I ate a lot without thinking... Ehehe.

Riri: I can relate~!

Yuyu: Shall I bring more, then?

Riri: You would, onee-sama?

Yuyu: We don't know when we will meet again. I want to avoid holding any regrets.

Riri: When we will meet again... Yes, you're right.

Yuuna: But I'm sure we will. I can feel it.

Mimori: Yes, I think so too.

Fuu: I hope we don't come on a mission next time.

Karin: What're you saying? Of course not.

Sonoko: It's not like we can go to other worlds without Shinju-sama's power.

Itsuki: You're right. Even though I forgot this was another world while eating snacks so casually...

Yuuna: It's fine even if it's a mission, because we have so many reassuring friends. Right?

Riri: Yes, you can count on us!

Fuu: Alright, even if it may be over soon, let's keep making more memories!

Yuuna/Riri: Ooh!!!

Hero Club activity report!

After defeating the special Huge... the Vertex from our world, we successful accomplished our duty!

Thank you Hitotsuyanagi team!

We only spent a few days at Yurigaoka, but you are all good people, and we really had fun~.

It was fun doing Hero Club activities even in another world, and we got along great with you!

Sono-chan was talking with Fumi-san the whole time, and Karin-chan, Mai-san and Tazusa-san training together!

Tougou-san... seemed to have a mutual understanding with Kaede-san, but she didn't tell me what they talked about.

Fuu-senpai and Itsuki-chan joined us late, but they opened their hearts right away, as expected.

It's sad these fun days have to end, but I'm sure we will meet again. I can feel it.

Both our worlds are in serious danger, but if we believe, I'm sure we will!

"You're likely to succeed if you try"!
