The Dream that Transcends Today (Ch16-25)

Thanks Ruelin and Vivi for reviewing!
===================
-Story Tab-
Iroha (Part 3)
After I finish helping, I wonder if I can take it easy and watch the kite flying competition.

=====16=====

<The kite flying competition grounds>

Boy
WOOOAAAAH~! IT'S FLYING~~!

Girl
Wait, the string is still twisted!

Yuuna
Here I go!

Hotori
K-Kaharun... Are you seriously doing this...?

Yuuna
Of course I am.
Come, Hotori-san, Rion-san,
please hold onto the kite firmly.
Once you start feeling the wind, look for the signal, then let it go.

Rion
Eh...have you even done kite flying before?

Yuuna
Huhu, please just watch.

[*Whoosh*]

Hotori
Uwa, amazing!
It's flying!

Rion
Eh...!? So easily...?
Y-you're actually skilled at this?

Yuuna
Huhu, indeed I am.
A while ago, while I was studying abroad,
I made acquaintance​ with someone who had a career as a world champion kite flyer.

Hotori
Eh...

Yuuna
Fortunately, before I returned to Japan,
I got the chance to spend an entire day being coached.

Rion
Making personal contacts as usual, then...

Hotori
So that's why you really wanted to participate in this competition.
You even cut short your New Years trip in New Caledonia for it.

Yuuna
Actually, there is another reason to participate in this competition...
But of course, I'll still go all out for it.
As the disciple of a world champ, embarrassing results will not be forgiven!

Hotori
You've got my support! I won't let you down either!

Rion
Such grand words.

Yuuna
Mm...?
Kya...KYAAA...!?

Rion
W-what!? What's wrong!?

Yuuna
N...No way... It can't be...!

Hotori
Tomoe...Mami-san!?

Rion
Why is she here...?

Yuuna
.....
That carefree smile like that of a saint...
That is undoubtedly what she must show to those she spends her everyday life with...

Hotori
Then, are those people around Mami-san her friends from school?
But...people from Mitakihara came all the way to Kamihama just for the kite flying competition...?

Rion
That's hard to imagine...
Say, why doesn't the person doing all the admiring go ask?

Yuuna
I-I can't...that would be incredibly discourteous!
.....

Hotori
Ah...she's frozen...

Rion
Doesn't seem like we're flying kites anymore...

=====17=====

Madoka
Uwaa! There's so many kites!

Ui
Pretty!

Mami
Is it fine for you to not be helping the shrine now?

Iroha
Yes.
We were told that since it's customary to pay your visit in the morning,
there would be fewer visitors by lunch time,
so we could to the kite flying competition.

Mami
I see.

Sayaka
I bet you wish you could change out of your miko clothes now.

Iroha
But we're still here to help, more or less,
so if we see anyone in trouble while we're playing,
it's our job to support them or call for help.

Sayaka
Sounds rough.

Ui
Onee-chan, let's hurry and go!

Iroha
That's right.
It's Ui's first time, so she's been looking forward to this.

Ui
Yeah.
I've only ever watched, so I want to try it myself.

Iroha
Then, let's go borrow a kite right away.
Everyone comes here for the kite rentals
because they're kites prepared by Mizuna Shrine.
It's fun to pick one since there's so many nice old-fashioned kites.

Madoka
Yeah!

---

Madoka
Homura-chan, ready?

Homura
Yeah, ready anytime.

Madoka
I'm going to run as fast as I can, so if you feel the wind, let go of the kite.

Homura
...Now!

[*Whoosh*]

Sayaka
It's flying! Ohh, they're perfectly in sync!

Kyouko
Perfectly in sync, huh...
They can't just shout a signal like normal?

Sayaka
Tsk tsk tsk... Words are too slow.
They're a reflection upon the world...nay, their very souls are harmonized.

Kyouko
What are you on about...

Mami
Huhu, did you want to try too?
Look, I've got a kite here.

Kyouko
.....Well, I guess I can try a new game once in a while...

---

Iroha
Alright, Onee-chan is going to hold the kite,
so Ui needs to run as fast as possible.

Ui
Here we go!

Iroha
...Now!

[*Fwwshhh...*]

Iroha
Ahh, we failed... It didn't take off...

Ui
Aww~...

Iroha
It's difficult, isn't it? I think it's going to be hard to get it to fly at first.
However there is a trick to it...

Ui
I-it's alright!

Iroha
Eh?

Ui
Just a little more...let me try harder!

Iroha
...Sure, we can. Let's challenge ourselves a little more.

=====18=====

Ui
Alright...this time...

Iroha's Voice
Uiii! I'm ready over here!

Ui
Y-yeah!

Ui's Voice
Waa~~ I messed up~~

Iroha
Aah...

Ui
.....

Kyouko
..... Tch, you messed up again?

Sayaka's Voice
Sorry! Sorry!

Ui
.....

Kyouko
What? Ui also having trouble?

Ui
Uu...

Kyouko
What's with that response...

Ui
...I can't get it to fly at all...

Kyouko
Did you ask Iroha how?

Ui
Eh, Onee-chan...? No...that's...a little...

Kyouko
...Well, I guess she's not good at flying kites either.

Ui
T-that's not true!

Kyouko
Mm?

Ui
When I was in the hospital, Onee-chan came over on New Year's
and fle~w a kite so high out of the hospital
that I could see it all the way from my room.

Kyouko
Heeh, that's surprising.
Maybe I should ask her for some tips.

Ui
Eh!?

Kyouko
What?

Ui
U-ummm...

Kyouko
Now that you've told me that, why didn't you ask her, Ui?

Ui
I-I don't want to be spoiled...by her...

Kyouko
The heck is that.
Askin' about somethin' you can't do isn't being spoiled, is it?

Ui
Y-yeah...that's true, but...

---

Iroha
I'm not very good at it, but I can give you some simple advice.
...Ui, you remember, right?

Ui
Y-yeah.

Iroha
...The trick to it was...that's right...
It's just pulling the string in time with your partner
and running straight... That's about it.

Mami
Running straight on the grass without a path
would be surprisingly difficult like this.

Ui
Yeah... There's no lines on the ground...
so if I try looking at the sky, or at Onee-chan holding the kite...
I end up not knowing where I'm running...

Mami
Miki-san... Do you have any ideas?

Sayaka
Eh!?
...Hmm... I don't know if it'll be helpful, but...
Keep your eyes on your enemy!

Kyouko
There's no enemies.

Sayaka
Then make a helpful landmark!

Mami
Enemy...you must be referring to our experience with exterminating witches.

Sayaka
Yep, that's it!
After all, it's important to keep a close watch on your enemy!
The essence of kite flying is no different from witch exterminating.

Kyouko
Then why don't you do the running, Sayaka...

Ui
I see... Then after I look away...
Yeah, I'll try that.

Iroha
The timing for letting go of the kite and the timing for pulling
have to be perfect, don't they?
I don't think it's easy to suddenly be perfectly in sync like that.

Homura
You don't...have to...compliment me...
All I did...was keep watch while Kaname-san ran...

Madoka
Yeah, that's right.
We watched each other closely so we got it perfectly in no time!
And because we're close friends.

Ui
...! Yeah, I'll do my best!
Alright, Onee-chan, let's resume practicing.

Iroha
Huhu. What? You think we can do it?

Ui
Yeah, I'm sure we can!
But...again, I got help.

Iroha
Don't worry about that.
I'm Ui's Onee-chan, so it's perfectly normal to help you out.

=====19=====

Iroha
Huh...

[*Chatter...*]

Iroha
This place is drawing in a crowd too.

Ui
The kite rental place...that's a huge queue...
Hey, let's go help them.

Iroha
You're done flying kites?

Ui
Yeah! I've played enough!
We're also mikos, so we need to help out.

Iroha
...That's right, let's head back.
Well everyone, we're back to helping now.

Madoka
Sure, thank you for guiding us!

Mami
Work hard.

Ui
Yeah!

---

Rui
Ah-

Seira
Mm? There?

Rui
The mikos at the kite rental over there...
Just a little...from a distance...excuse me...

Seira
If you can really see the aspect of death, then this is gonna be trouble...!
Senpais, please also prepare yourselves.

Mikura
Sure, but I feel like you may be overreacting about this...

Temari
This is just in case. Human lives come first.

Rui
Grant me sight (視送れ)...Heaven's Gate Eye!
.....

Seira
...W-well? Did you see...the aspect of death...?

Rui
.....umm...
Nothing...I couldn't see anything...
I just...jumped to conclusions... This was pointless...I was, just reading too deeply into things...
Alarming everyone... Troubling everyone like this is inexcusable...

Seira
N-nah! I'm glad it was nothing!

Mikura
Eh...ah. That's...right?

Temari
You can never be certain in the world these days...
At least this time we can confirm...that nothing has happened.
Thanks to that, we can go back to freely playing.

Rui
T-thank you...for such kind support...

Seira
Well anyway...
Now that we're here, I wanna fly a kite...

Temari
Agreed. There seems to be a kite rental here.

Mikura
Maybe I'll try it a little too.

Seira
What are you gonna do, Mizuki? Wanna fly a kite together?
Ah, but isn't your family waiting over at the shrine?

Rui
I was told that I can go play, so it's okay.

Seira
Oh, that so? Then we can try it together.

---

Seira
Excuse meee! I'd like to rent a kite!

Iroha
Yes! Here you are...

Mikura
Oh...? Looking closely at these...

Iroha
Ah, that's Kosho Ward's...
It's everyone from the history research club!

Temari
It's been a while.

Iroha
So you wanted a kite.
Please choose the one you like from these here!

Seira
Thanks!

---

Seira
There's so many, huh.

Rui
I would like this... Counter Spring...

Seira
New Year's greetings huh~ That's a classic.

Temari
I think...for now I will choose a pretty one.

Mikura
You're right...I will, too...

[*Rustle rustle...*]

Mikura
Mm...?
Eh!?

Temari
...? What happened?

Mikura
Th-this is...

=====20=====

Temari
...? What happened?

Mikura
Th-this is...
Tamaki-san...this is serious...look at this...!

Iroha
Eh!? D-did something happen...?
It's...a kite, right...? Ah...but it's much older than the rest...

Mikura
Judging by the name of the square seal stamped on this kite...
This may very well be...from the Edo period.

Iroha
Uhh...Eh!? The Edo period...?

Mikura
In the Edo period, there was a time when kite flying got a surge in popularity...
It's possible, though... If this square seal is in fact genuine,
I believe it may have been gifted to this shrine by a great person long ago.
This square seal belonged to a fuedal lord in this region.

Temari
Y-you mean...

Mikura
This is too historically valuable to be flying in the sky!

Iroha
T-this is bad!

Ui
We need to take it to the shrine right now!

Mikura
Yeah, that would be for the best.
Ah, but be careful while moving it!

Iroha
Yeah, please leave it to us!
Ah, and there's no need for everyone to worry, so please enjoy yourselves.

Older Girl
EEEHHH~~~!?
THIS KITE WAS A GIFT FROM SOME BIG SHOT FROM THE EDO PERIOD!?

Iroha
A friend of mine who is well-acquainted with history told me that...

Older Girl
This crest... I'm certain I've seen it before...

Iroha
While I was carrying it here... I thought my heart was going to jump out of my chest...

Older Girl
But, for something like that to get mixed in with the kite flying competition rentals...
Such a precious thing needs to be on display here...ah.
A totally different kite is being proudly displayed here...

Iroha
W-what does this mean...

Older Girl
I'll call someone from the shrine and confirm.

---

Iroha
How did it go?

Older Girl
Yeah, this kite you just brought definitely seems to have historic value.
They found the string was frayed and sent it to be mended,
but in the meantime, the kite currently on display had arrived and was put there by mistake.

Iroha
To get mixed up like that...

Older Girl
Well, the girl that first received it was also just a helper,
so she didn't know that.
On top of that, this kite on display was also a gift, but from a local big name.

Iroha
Mutual gifts... It must be confusing if you're not familiar with them.

Older Girl
Even I misunderstood.
When that old kite was later returned,
I put it with the others because I thought it was a rental.

Ui
It's so busy around the New Year, isn't it? It's difficult...

Older Girl
It is. It's bad because the management system here never seems to change...
Thank you both!
I'll report all of this to the priest again.
Please, give your history-loving friend our gratitude.

Iroha
Sure!

Ui
Ah, I'll take this kite over to the grounds.
It looks like it was originally meant for the competition.

Older Girl
Yeah, please do!
Ah, that's right.

Iroha
Was there something else?

Older Girl
It's a newly gifted kite, but
since it's a special kite that will be displayed for the finale,
be careful when carrying it.

---

Ui
Carefully, carefully, Onee-chan.

Iroha
Yeah, suddenly there's...a ton of pressure on me...

Ui
S-sorry...
...But, this is a really huge kite...

Iroha
Yeah, it's pretty big.

Ui
People could fly on top of it.

Iroha
Ah, I think I've seen something like that on TV.

Iroha & Ui
---!?

Ui
Onee-chan, this is...

Iroha
A witch's barrier...!? At a time like this!?

Ui
The kite, what do we do...

Iroha
We can't just leave it lying around...
We have no choice but to go like this...!

Ui
Y-yeah...!

=====21=====

Sayaka
Now then, by using our exceptional teamwork,
let's successfully get one kite in the air!

Kyouko
I wouldn't exactly call our teamwork exceptional...
but let's fly it higher than the rest, Sayaka!

[*Grooowl*]

Sayaka & Kyouko
---!?

Mami
Huhu, you two are really in sync, aren't you?

Sayaka
That reminds me, I haven't eaten lunch...

Kyouko
The last thing I wanted just before flying a kite is to get hungry...

Mami
There were a lot of stalls at the shrine,
so why not buy something there?

Sayaka
Ohh, now that you mention it, I'll go buy a little something!
Hey, you're coming with me, Kyouko, so get ready.

Kyouko
Is Mami good?

Mami
I'm...

Madoka
Ei!

Homura
Ah, it's flying again! That's great, Kaname-san!

Mami
I can't leave these girls alone.
They're so absorbed right now, I don't want to interrupt their fun...

Sayaka
Then I'll go pick out something to buy for everyone.

Mami
Sure, if you'd please.

---

Mikura
...I had a thought just now.

Temari
What is it?

Mikura
I...may not be...cut out for kite flying...

Temari
...That's true.

Mikura
In the first place...I don't even like running...

Temari
You've found the root of the problem...
But in any case...

Seira
Got it! It's flying again!

Rui
This height...could be the highest yet...maybe...

Mikura
Yeah, we have some lively kouhais.

Temari
We really do.

Seira
Huu~! That's enough, that's enough!

Rui
It is...

Mikura
Satisfied?

Seira
Yep, it was as fun as ever.
I think next year I'm going to bring a small camera!

Mikura
Like a drone? That would be nice.
Well, shall we return to the shrine?

Temari
I'm still curious as to what happened to that precious kite...

Mikura
I knew we should have helped carry it...

---

Hotori
Heey, Kaharun, what was the other reason?

Yuuna
Other reason...? Ahh...

-Flashback-

Yuuna
Actually, there is another reason to participate in this competition...
But of course, I'll still go all out for it.

-End Flashback-

Rion
That's what you said.

Yuuna
I thought about keeping it a surprise, but...
I'll make an exception and tell you two.

Hotori
Hooray.

Yuuna
The truth is the Kaharu House offered a large kite to this competition.
It will adorn the grand finale!

Rion
Heeh.

Hotori
I wonder if the kite is already here.

Yuuna
Yes, it should be on display at the management office...
But it's not, is it...?
It's of extraordinary size, so it should be viewable even from a distance.

Rion
Shouldn't we be asking the people at the shrine what's going on?

Yuuna
...Yes we should.

=====22=====

Familiar
..... Creak...Grind grind grind....

Iroha
Ei!

Ui
Go! Tsubame-san!
Huu...
...Onee-chan...Now...

Iroha
Yeah...

-Flashback-

Ui
Watch out! Onee-chan!

Iroha
Eh!?
Ku!

-End Flashback-

Iroha
...Let's go!

Witch
BO BO BO BOOM CREAAAAAAK↑

Iroha
...!

Ui
Just like last time... This is the same witch.
This time we have to take her down. Alright...

Iroha
Wait! We need to be a little more careful...
...Let's hide.

Ui
Eh? Okay...

Iroha
We're safe here...

Ui
What's wrong, Onee-chan?
If we don't hurry up and defeat her, someone might show up like last time...

Iroha
But if we attack blindly we'll suffer the same consequence as before...
And now there's this...

Ui
Ah...
The kite...!

Iroha
Yeah, this big kite is supposed to be displayed during the finale of the competition,
so we will have to protect it somehow while we're fighting...
But if one of us protects it, the other is alone against the witch...

Ui
.....

Iroha
Ui? What's up?

Ui
Onee-chan, I think I've got it!

Iroha
Eh, eh, what...!?

Ui
How to take down the witch while protecting the kite!

Iroha
Really!?

Ui
Yeah, her weak point is on a spot way up high, and the familiars are protecting it, but...
Even still, I think we can do it.

Iroha
But how?

Ui
Well, you see...

---

Ui
Well?

Iroha
.....U-ummm...
You mean...in order to do that...
Then I have to...
Eh...?
Eh... EHHHHHH!?

=====23=====

Iroha
Hey, Ui... Are we really going to do this...?

Ui
We have to... Besides, there's no other option...
We have the advantage if we're on top, right?
That way we can aim at the weak point...

Iroha
That's... true, but...

Ui
I enhanced the paper and bamboo strips with magic, so it'll be okay.
It won't fail.
I know Onee-chan is a little scared right now, though...

Iroha
Yeah, I'll be fine.
But...this is still really dangerous...

Ui
...?

Iroha
Because, that means to follow through with this strategy
Ui has to run straight at the witch, right?

Ui
Yeah, so...?

Iroha
You can't! That's just...too dangerous!
Ui will be targeted by the witch!

Ui
.....Even so, I'll do it.
Because I'm a full-fledged mahou shoujo now.

-Flashback-

Ui
I'm a full-fledged mahou shoujo now, but...

Iroha
Ui? Did you say something?

Ui
N-nothing!? Nothing at all!

-End Flashback-

Iroha
---!?
I see...back then...
(Ui was trying to fight on her own...)

-Image of the dance-

Iroha
She was so clumsy helping at the shrine, but she did great in the end.
[Ui... I'm sorry I didn't notice your feelings.]
[Onee-chan is going to support you as you try your hardest...!]

Iroha
Alright, let's try your strategy.

Ui
Eh? But, you just...

Iroha
I know running right at the enemy is definitely dangerous...
But, Onee-chan believes in Ui's ability.

Ui
...! Y-yeah!
I'll be okay. Even with the witch aiming at me, I'll avoid everything!
Just leave it to me, because it's a perfect strategy!

Iroha
(Just keep your eyes focused,)
(because that's the important trick to flying a kite.)

Ui
Alright, I'm ready to go!
On one...ready...
Eh...
Kya! A familiar...!
Eh...?

Mikura
That was close...

Seira
Leave the small fry to us!

Temari
We'll take care of this nuisance.

Rui
Fuhahahahaha!!

Mikura
Eh?

Rui
Ah...
I-I'll do my best...fighting the...familiars~...

Seira
That's great! You held back your chuunibyou!

Hotori
Ah, the kite!

Rion
Didn't think we'd just stumble across it in a barrier...

Yuuna
I don't know what they're planning...but that kite's strength is unparalleled.
With magical power added, it should be able to endure any impact.

Ui
Everyone...!
Right!
(I forgot there were familiars...)
(I'm sorry, I'm sorry...! ...But!)
Ready, go!

Iroha
Ui... You can do it...

Sayaka
Ohh, she's doing it.

Kyouko
.....

Sayaka
For now, why don't we leave the familiars to those four over there
and go help take out that witch?

Kyouko
...Nah...
It'd be dumb to interfere now.

Sayaka
Well, we can back her up if it feels like it's getting too dangerous.

Kyouko
Yeah.

Sayaka
Anyway... I wonder what are those two are even trying to do...

Kyouko
She tied herself to the kite or somethin'...

Sayaka & Kyouko
.....

Kyouko
Nah, doing somethin' like that...there's no way.

Sayaka
She couldn't...possibly fly...right? Yeah, there's just no way that's...

[*Whoosh...*]

Sayaka
Ah, a strong wind.

Kyouko
Is that the witch's attack...Mm?

Sayaka & Kyouko
F...f-f-f-...
FLYIIIIIING!!

=====24=====

Ui
Nice! Onee-chan is flying! We're in sync!
The rest is up to you!

Iroha
From up here... I can't be attacked...
Now I can aim at the witch's weak point...and shoot it as much as I can!
(I just need to untie the string from my hand...and hold on to the bamboo frame...)
Eeeei!!

Ui
Please...work...!

Witch
BO BO BOOM BO BO BO
CREEEAAKーー↑

Ui
---!?

Mikura
Great! They killed it!

Temari
Flying on a kite...

Yuuna
Huhuhu...

Rion
You must be proud of yourselves...!

Sayaka
Ohh! They did iiit!

Kyouko
...Sure did.

Witch
CREEEAAKーー↑

Kyouko
---!?
No, we're wrong!

Iroha
Alright! Looks like I defeated it!
Right at the end...I thought the witch was about to attack me, but...
Nothing flew at me after all.
I wonder if it missed.

[*Snap...*]

Iroha
Mm?

Iroha's Voice
EEEEEeeeeehhhh!?

Seira
Aah!? She's falling!?

Rui
That witch! She aimed at the string with that final attack!!

Kyouko
Shit! We noticed too late!
Gotta get there...

Iroha
(If I could just untie the foot strap...! I could get off of the kite...!)
(But...I can't...! I'm stuck in this position...!)
(I'm...not going to make it...)

---

Iroha
.....

Ui
Huu... Made it in time...
Are you okay? Onee-chan.

Iroha
Ui...

Ui
Did you think it was all over?

Iroha
A little...
Because, you were so far away...
But, thank you. That's incredible that you made it just in time.

Ui
Right?
...By the way, this scene...reminds me of something... Oh, from my dream.

Iroha
From your first dream...you told us about this morning...?
But, the opposite happened.

Ui
Yeah!
But, Onee-chan... The string on this precious kite was cut...

Iroha
Yeah, we'll have to go apologize together, won't we?

Sayaka
Ui-chan, you did it.

Kyouko
Well that ended sweetly.
We didn't need to interfere at all.

-Flashback-

Witch
CREEEAAKーー↑

Ui
---!?

-End Flashback-

Sayaka
That girl, the moment she noticed the string snap she started running.

Kyouko
Yeah,
she was able to make the save despite bein' so far away
because she was watching closely.
...Back to the park?

Sayaka
Sure.

=====25=====

Mikura
Well, here we are.

Iroha
Yes!
Everyone, thank you so much for everything.
And...please excuse me... Even in the middle of the competition
you helped us in so many ways, and now with carrying the kite...

Temari
We had enough fun, so please don't worry over it.

Seira
Plus we got to see something really nice!
The next big thing might just be...flying sisters...

Rui
Ui-chan...has...potential...

Ui
Eh!? W-what kind...?

Seira
Well then, if you'll excuse us!

Iroha
And now...

Iroha & Ui
Once again...! We're truly sorry!

Yuuna
I received enough apologies for the string incident back in the barrier.
Besides, the repairs were completed in time for the finale.

Ui
Ah, they were really fast...

Yuuna
Huhuhu, the Kaharu Family has only the best staff.
But enough about that... You two, I've seen you from somewhere...

-Flashback of them with Mami-

Yuuna
---!?
P-perhaps not. I just remembered I have important business to attend to.

Ui
Eh...?

Yuuna
What I mean to say is have a good day.
I am leaving now, Hotori-san, Rion-san.

Rion
Ehh!? What's with you all of a sudden!

Hotori
Wait for me~

Iroha
...?

Ui
Ah, Onee-chan, it's almost time for us...

Iroha
Ah, that's right. Yachiyo-san and the others are coming soon.
If we don't start changing into our haregi, they'll be waiting on us.
Umm, I mean as long as the miko-

Older Girl
Yeah, it's fine. Thanks for working!

---

Hotori
W-what's wrong!? Kaharun!

Yuuna
Those two...were most likely aquaintances of Mami-sama.

Hotori
Ah, those girls were the mikos who were together with Mami-san at the park!?

Rion
Eh...if that's true, then you should spend more time with those new girls.

Hotori
Yeah, maybe you could introduce us as well...

Yuuna
It's too soon! It's still too soon!
Isn't that right!?
Mami-samaaa!

Iroha
Ah, is everyone from Mitakihara going home now?

Madoka
Yeah, we'd really love to do more, but-

Homura
It's going to get dark soon, so we should get home.

Mami
Oh? That haregi...
Are you two about to go out?

Ui
We're about to meet up with everyone from Mikazuki Manor, then go shopping!

Mami
That sounds great.

Madoka
...Iroha-chan.

Iroha
Mm?

Madoka
Did something happen...with you and Ui-chan?

Iroha
Eh, why...?

Madoka
Ehehe... I don't know, but something feels different.

Iroha
.....Yeah, a little, actually.
But, everything's okay.

Madoka
...I see!

Kyouko
.....

Sayaka
Huhu.
