YuYuYui - 5th anniversary - 2H

The Hero Club's 5th year - Hard - 5

[Party venue]

Meb: Stop shifting the responsibility onto others...

Its: Thank you for waiting. This is my dish.

Uta/Shi/Kar: Eh...?

Yuz: It's empty.

Tam: D-Did Itsuki finally get a hint after 5 years...

Its: ......You already had the cooking of my memories many times, it's onee-chan's usual cooking.

Its: After our parents died, I ate onee-chan's cooking every single day,

Its: But once... Just once, the plate was empty...

Fuu: ......Ah.

Its: Maybe I wasn't feeling good that day, but at lunch... I said something I never should have.

Its: "I don't want this. It's not like mom's cooking"...

Its: And that night, dinner never came.

Fuu: Ah, no... I lost temper because of myself... but it's not like I was upset... just...

Fuu: I felt... worthless. I was angry about the accident that took our parents away from us, about the Taisha's attitude...

Fuu: But when I thought I had to resist for you, I had to do my best, all of my bottled up feelings exploded.

Fuu: After that, I went on an udon stress eating spree, and even though I was full, my head was empty...

Fuu: In the end... I wondered what I was doing. If I'm not doing it, who will... It was as simple as that.

Its: Starting from the next day, onee-chan would have always more band-aids on her left hand's fingers... It kept going...

Its: But after a while, her band-aids started disappearing one after the other until finally... her wounds healed...

Its: And at that time, meals... tasted just like mom's! It was nothing but a selfish whim but... It was the taste of mom's cooking...

Gin/Yum/Fuy: Uuh...Uuuh...!

Its: Onee-chan, I'm sorry. I've... always... always regretted saying this.... and wanted to apologi-...

Fuu: It's fine... It's fine. Don't cry. I've known that for a long time.

Its: Uuh... Everyone... Sorry for sharing that memory... Uuh...

Yuu: Don't apologize, Itsuki-chan. It was a wonderful memory between sisters.

Fuu: You know, maybe because I eat more than others, I believe that what you eat makes you who you are.

Fuu: So like Tougou said, I think channeling your thoughts through your cooking is a very valuable thing.

Fuu: Chikage, Shizuku. You thinking my cooking is good... made me so happy.

Fuu: Itsuki, and everyone else, I have no intention of becoming a mother figure, but simply you liking what I make...

Fuu: If it makes you happy, if you eat a lot of it...

Fuu: And if you're healthy and lively... Then really, this is all I need...

Fuu: Eh... W-What...? U-Uuh... Ah~, a-as the aviator Richard Bach once said!

Fuu: "The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life."

Kar: That's enough... Idiot. I'm full... Why can't you end it quickly...? Jeez.

Hin: Fuu-san, Itsuki-san as well as every one of us understands how you feel.

Sek: Thanks, senpai. It's thanks to you if we didn't freeze to death in those 5 years. I'm grateful.

Yuu: Fuu-senpai, congratulations! Your speech was a success this year!

Nat: Good for you... Fuu.

Fuu: Eh. O-Oh no... I-I didn't mean it as a speech, eh... R-Really? That much~?

Kir: Hooray for our mom! Fuu's gonna be the Hero Club's mom forever♪

Fuu: I'm not your mom! I'm always telling you I'm too young to be!!

Fuy: I... assumed they wanted to go back to the real world as soon as possible, but I was totally wrong...

Yuz: Um, it seems that way.

Fuy: I can't imagine myself staying here for 5 years. But maybe it's not as bad as I thought?

Yuz: No idea. We can't understand yet anyway.

Fuy: Let's follow these wonderful people, Yuzuki-kun. Until we genuinely feel like we don't want to go back.

Yuz: Sure. If you say so, I'll tag along.


The Hero Club's 5th year - Hard - 6

[Party venue]

Fuu: I-It got pretty chaotic, but this last one is from Aya and me.

Shi: Oh right, Kokudo asked to go later...

Aya: Like I've said a few days ago, every meal I've had here are wonderful sparkling memories to me.

Aya: Everyday meals, special event meals, every single one of them♪

Fuu: And that's why we'll now be having all sorts of food we ate during these 5 years!

Gin/Aka/Wak: Eeeeeh!?

Tam: Woooooh, awesome! Just just porridge and dried squid really lacked something♪

Anz: But you still ate all of them.

Aya: Everything from now on has been secretly made by a team of cooks I asked personally. Thank you very much.

Ren: Hmph, gratitude is unnecessary. You have helped more than enough to deem it unwarranted. Now, mike.

Aya: U-Um... Me, who used to only ever receive food, took an interest in cooking...

Aya: Because your faces when cooking look shiny and sparkly.

Aya: If I could cook too, I wouldn't only enjoy eating with you, I would also give all of you something to enjoy.

Aya: The desire to become someone like this was what gave me the push to act. And finally, today...

Aya: I've made a dessert all by myself! Please try this strawberry mousse, if you'd like♪

Meb: Which one is it? Where is it!? Where's Aya-chan's handmade treasure!?

Kar: She said it was a dessert! The dessert comes last!

Aki: Waah~! It surprised me last year too, but there's appetizing food of all origins!

Yos: Yes... Aah, how priceless.

Tak: Here, Gun-chan. xiaolongbao, open wide~♪

Chi: A-A~h... Hot! Huff, huff, huff!

Aki: Wait, like that!?

Fuu: Alright, while you're all eating, here's what you'll need to know about the request we've received.

Nat: Right, we have one this year... Everyone, let's listen carefully.

Hin: We will be taking care of the explanations.

Wak: Hinata and... Sonoko?

SON: This matter originally reached Taisha from a private company, who then asked us if the Hero Club should undertake it.

Uta: Eeh, that's unusual. What is it about?

Hin: Put simply, sample test about a currently in development VR technology... roughly speaking.

Chi: A video game!?

SON: Ah, unfortunately not~. In the Divine era, VR will be used for medical needs rather than video games.

Hin: It is already in use in diverse medical treatments, and experiments for practical use are constantly being conducted.

SON: Like for people who can't move their hands, by giving their brain the illusion that they can move, it can improve their condition in the real world.

SON: People who lost their memories because of brain damage or dementia could relieve their memories to recover brain functions~.

Tou: Memories...

Hin: Even so, producing conclusive results is difficult, and there is only one step remaining before implementation...

Aka: It sounds hard just from listening to you, so what could we do to help?

Hin: What they are currently researching, experiencing various specified scenarios through VR.

SON: Either our fantasies or reality, they want to gather data by observing our experiences as we live them~.

Suz: Eeh... I'm not certain about the future of this world if people could see Sonoko-san's fantasies.

SON: There, chirp!

Suz: Gyaah! Sorry, where, chirp!?

Hin: The adults seem to limit themselves in what they can conceptualize whatever they did, which brought a lack of experiment data...

SON: But if we did it, we could go wherever we wanted and do whatever we want regardless of it's unrealistic or not, the possibilities are basically infinite~.

Hin: What effects would it have on the brain and bodies of people who lived these simulated experiences as they identify what is possible or not.

Hin: This is a rather important element, from what we've heard.

Fuu: To be perfectly honest, I don't understand, but if it's going to improve medical treatments, what choice do we have but to do it?

Yuu: We help the people in trouble! Let's do our best to answer their expectations, everyone!


The Hero Club's 5th year - Hard - 7

[Party venue]

SHI: Phew~, I'm so full we swapped places, how much did you eat, Shizuku...

Meb: So practically speaking, what will we concretely have to do?

Hin: First, they seem to want you to split into groups and describe in details the "world you want to see".

Aki: The world we wanna see? Like peaceful~, or fun~?

SON: Uum, that's a little too vague~. Try being more precise, like you were writing a novel or a scenario~.

Nat: Set "in the sea", for example...?

SON: Exactly♪ If the world you want to see existed in the past, you can bring old photos or recordings~.

Uta: And it'll be able to reproduce it like it was reality? Wow... The Divine era really is the future.

Chi: But this much was also possible in the Christian era, I think... I'm not sure how it's different.

SON: Aah, and if possible, they also want you to describe the clothes you want to wear or the things you want to bring~.

Tam: That's okay!? Clothes, too!? I don't know what to pick...

Hin: Magazine clippings and designs would appear to be fine as well. Sekka-san.

Sek: Excuse me!? You're asking me to make designs for what everyone wants!? From fantasies and daydreams? That's a tall ask.

Aya: Uum, can the world we want to see be from an anime or picture book?

SON: Everything's fair game~.

Kar: So casual! That sounds so unbelievable. Just programming this seems like it'll take years.

Hin: Being able to complete it so quickly... If the world was in a better state, this would have been state secret proprietary technology.

Fuy: Emergency, Yuzuki-kun! We have finally been entrusted with an important role! It's state secret, state secret!

Yuz: State... but there's only one.

Hin: Even so, you are the country representatives, you are important enough that you have been allowed.

Fuy: See! T-That's it, I knew it! Ooooooooooh, I'm firing up, I'll do my absolute best!

Yuz: We get it, we get it. Scream after you wipe the cream off your mouth...

SHI: What should I do... If we can't even come up with a scene, clothes, and stuff, won't that be bad?

Yum: Fret not, SHIZUKU-san. We have faced similar situations countless times already, have we not?

Its: Eh? Ah! Right, we've made it through anniversary celebrations and events...!

Wak: Idols, monsters, man outfits, we've worn a lot in the past.

Tak: Yeah! Thinking about it this way, it sounds so easy! That's even our specialty♪

Sum: But since we will be divided into groups, should there be a certain level of unity among our desires?

Son: I guess so~. If people who want to see the same world don't discuss it, it'll be a weird world~.

Anz: Why don't we all take turns in telling what world we want♪

Tou: Yes! The world I want to see is obvious, one where the strongest Empire of Japan is-... Mrggggh!?

Fuu: Now~, Tougou, Tougou~. The~re, there~, you're a good girl~.

Tou: Mrgggh, Fumi-hyan, mahe Japan-... Mggh, mgggggh!

Sum: Aaaaah, Tougou-san, I'm coming to save-...!

Gin: No. Sumi, you're in our team, this time.

Anz: ? That's unusual for you to be so assertive, Gin-chan. Do you have something in mind?

Gin: Ehehe, I just thought about a little something♪ But it's still a secret for now.

Uta: Sekka-san, could I please talk to you about costumes?

Yum: I wish to make a request to you as well, Sekka-san!

Sek: Here they are. I thought I could slack off this year, and this is what it came down to~. Really...

Kir: Don't say that~, ye're grinnin', ya know? Here. Countin' on ya.

Sek: What is this... messy sketch? Amoeba???

Kir: It's not a microbe, it's the outfit I want. It's just a sketch, so please make it a clean copy~.

Sek: Eeeeh, this is a design sheet!? Not even a clean copy, I have no idea how I'm supposed to turn this into clothes!

Anz/Gin/Aya: Ahahhahahaha!

Hin: That's a relief... Everyone seems to enjoy it so far.

SON: Yes. I'm sure it'll be a good experience. Let's believe~...


The Hero Club's 5th year - Hard - 8

[VR experiment day]

Aka: Eh, this is VR!? How's it possible for 3rd parties to see depth?

Gin: AAAA-Awesome! You can see this just with contact lenses!?

Kar: Letting aside practical talk, what the heck is this world!?

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/yuyuyu/images/b/b3/Card_image_305200.png

Magical creature Magica: Magica magica! We found the enemy! Magical girls, defeat her, magi!

Magical Girl Kurin: Kurikurikurikuri, kurikurin. Enemy, enemy. I will catch you with magical chain, kurin♪ Gwaaaah!

Magical Girl Mirakurin: Enemy, enemy, me with my hellfire, mirakurin♪ Blaaam!

Fuu: I knew I heard those lines somewhere before, it's from "Magical Girl Mirakurin", a show Itsuki watched on TV a long time ago!

Sek: I remember! Chikage is from the same series' Christian era version "Magical Girl Kurin"!

Son: Takashima-senpai is the magical creature Magica-chan that appeared in it~. So cute~♪

Meb: A-And what are these 2!?

Delinquent Girl Prosecutor: Urk... Flame, chains... Are you saying this is what a trial is...? Is that justice?

Presiding judge lady: Oooooooh ho ho ho ho! The presiding judge lady will deliver her judgment♪

Delinquent Girl Prosecutor: Hold it!!

Delinquent Girl Prosecutor: Me, who has raised to a delinquent, fallen, by a turn of fate, and is now the prosecution's minion...

Delinquent Girl Prosecutor: Laugh, if you need to!

Mirakurin/Majika/Kurin/Judge: Ahahahahahahaha!

Delinquent Girl Prosecutor: But know that! You won't make me frilly and sparkly like you. Don't you underestimate me! This is my appeal!!

Suz: Gyaaah! Beigoma flying, it's dangerous, I'm gonna die... Or not, it's VR. Phew.

Anz: The Beigoma sold it to me! Mito-san and Aki-san are from the popular Christian era school drama "Delinquent Girl Prosecutor"!(*1)

Tam: Haa!? Anime and dramas fused!?

Yos: Aah, and what beauty from Koori-sama! A witch! A goddess!

Kir: They're total opposites!

Uta: Oh noooooooo! Why does Mii-chan turn into a delinquent every anniversary~~!?

Tou: I remember them saying these were their favorite programs. I believe they want to become the characters they admire.

Wak: It's nice, but... the entire scene around us looks like we're watching a TV program...

Tam: Tama thought so too! Especially the magical girls, they're actually flying!?

Anz: The chains and fire suddenly appearing was like true magic! This is the Divine era technology!

Presiding judge lady: An appeal to the presentence investigation is unheard-of! This judgment is invalid! Session adjourned!

Magical Girl Mirakurin: N-No way... And we were finally at the court decision.

Magical Girl Kurin: You can't give up yet, Mirakurin! If it's come to this, our combined ultimate spell will settle this!

Majika: Seriously!?

Mirakurin/Kurin: Mega☆Giga Teralo☆ Petankorin♪ Kuri kuri meteor flash!!

Delinquent Girl Prosecutor: Objectiooooooooooooooooon!!

Fuy: What's going on in this storyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!?

Yuz: Ah... We're back.

SON: It was fun~! That must've been one of those heroes from another world dream crossover♪

Kar: T-These totally unrealistic sounds and sparkles are also the work of VR!?

Ren: I assumed it was no more than an imitation... It seems I underestimated it...

Hin: We are able to see these things without heavy headsets or large devices...

Gin: What does it look like to the people inside?

Sum: I wonder too, especially the people floating in the air...

Tam: That made me super excited to experience it for myself!

Nat: I'm interested to see mine, but also what world everyone wishes for...

Fuu: Yes, we'll need to change location next, so everyone hurry up and get in the bus.

Yuu/Suz/Sek: Eh, bus travel!?

Tou: Considering the location is irrelevant inside virtual reality, I wonder where we're going... I feel uneasy.
