BGHS Story 4 Chapter 4

-battle with dark Shinju is over
-Misaki still feels a bit detached from reality with peaceful days like this
-flashback to the last battle starts, Misaki and Miki are in the interdimensional space like in last episode
-more or less the same conversation, just with more flashbacks in the flashback about how a lot things happened since Misaki came, including another KIBOU NI NARINASAI

-everyone's friendship power reaches them before the light ball around breaks and darkness envelops them
-Misaki finally understands how bonds make people stronger (from when she talked with Fuuran)

-Parallel Miki gets in their way, again this is pretty much a copy of the anime, only Miki tries to reason with her a bit more
-Misaki says how she finally found the meaning of hope


-Parallel Miki is back to normal
-dark Shinju starts attacking instead

-at first only Miki fights it and tells Misaki to stay with her sister
-but Misaki joins the fight too, since she's also a Hoshimori of this world as of now, Parallel Miki encourages her as well
-she's confident to protect things now that she found hope and strength in her comrades

-Parallel Miki feels her flora outfit regained strength, which shouldn't be possible since their Shinju has fallen and was defeated
-turns out the little sprout Miki hands her is actually last remnant of their original Shinju that kept fighting back darkness to the very limit
-light elevator comes to pick everyone up
-Misaki thinks that she could go back with her sister, which is what she longed for all the time
-but naturally chooses to stay in this world, since now she has things to do here
-Onee-chan calls her Miku in her inner monologue as she goes back, if someone still wasn't convinced by now
-flashback end, Misaki doesn't have any regrets choosing this world because she met everyone here, they're happy to hear that and pester her to say it once more


-the topic of where Misaki lives comes up
-HS first-years wouldn't be surprised if she was camping outside and hunting for her food
-other girls join as they start talking about moving after they learn she lives at school

-now the problem is where to move to
-right off the bat, Miki offers her to live at her house
-Misaki immediately turns her down since it would cause trouble for her family, and most importantly, high frequency of encounters with Miki's cooking
-Urara comes up with a sleepover plan where Misaki goes around to visit everyone's houses for a day
-class agrees it might be a good experience, even if not everyone would be a suitable sample
-Misaki stands dumbfounded to hear about Anko's home where they talk over chat only, and "becoming a stuffed toy" at Michelle's
-still agrees to Urara's proposal in the end

-since Urara came up with this, she's up first
-Misaki immediately spots her idol footage stash and they watch it together
-afterwards, Misaki bears with Urara's idol talk until 3am
-most of the visits are glossed over, but class talks how Misaki is surprisingly easily influenced and she was speaking like Kaede after her home visit
-it's morning after Sakura's visit no ja, Misaki's identity is in danger no ja


-last one is Hinata, she has a lot of siblings so it's different from other visits
-it's livelier and her sister's silly mistake makes Misaki remember how Parallel Miki nearly baked cookies with salt (a second time) before
-remembering her sister was always painful, because all she could think of was how she'll never see her again
-but looking at Hinata's family brought back the good memories of her and she was able to realize what a home should be like

-Hinata asks about her family before sleeping, Misaki answers she has a really warm family
-in fact, everyone's families were nice
-Hinata's sister offers her to live with them one last time, but Misaki already has her solution

-Misaki talks about her moving with Botan
-she stopped being a "visitor" when she decided to stay in this world
-so she wants a home to return to, not just the room she was borrowing and could leave any time
-Renge eavesdrops, tells everyone, they're curious who will she stay with
-Misaki answers she decided to live alone, but she won't hesitate to rely on others when she'll need it
-few days later, everyone crashes into Misaki's new apartment, makes themselves at home and they throw a party for her
-Evina sprite shows up, to be continued in Story 5
