- One Heart, One Soul
- Alexandra
- Hime-chan's hometown... Why in the world would she show me that...
- =====1=====
- Kagome's Diary
- While Union made their way into Kamihama Prison... I met with Touka-chan and Nemu-chan to strengthen the Uwasa of the Wind Evangelist, Rii-chan, that possesses me.
- My first time feeling magical power course through me felt like something foreign was inside of me, like it would twist my mind with such horrible feelings if I did not rid myself of it as soon as possible.
- However, I saw myself in those moments. My miserable, stupid, hopelessly invisible self. And in an instant I was saved - the rails of my life had been switched.
- I wanted to repay them, but by becoming something more, someone meaningful to them.
- As I listened to the Union girls talk of returning from the prison, I decided to take my changed body with me and walk towards the voices of some mahou shoujo.
- To Kamihama Community Center. This was the stage of conflict between Tokime clan and Neo Magius, where I thought yet another life had burst.
- -Playground-
- Alexandra
- Hime-chan's hometown was actually quite close♪
- Himena
- Well, it's the next town over. We haven't been back in a long while, though.
- Alexandra
- Since you changed schools in Kamihama?
- Himena
- Yep, somewhere around then.
- Alexandra
- (Those girls just now...they ran away...?)
- Himena
- Don't worry. This cutie's the only one they treat as nuts.
- Alexandra
- Nuts?
- Himena
- A crazy person with a messed up head. That's one of the reasons I switched schools.
- Alexandra
- No way, you're not crazy!
- Himena
- Only a mahou shoujo would truly ever say that.
- Humans don't make wishes, or use magic, or have any special powers.
- Alexandra
- I'm sure you're used to it by now, but they were just so blunt about it...
- Himena
- But when I tell them the person that died "right here" is in my head,
- everyone freaks out. Even my parents were taken aback.
- Alexandra
- .....
- ...Huh...? Did you just say "right here?"
- Himena
- Yeah, this is where the BF died and went right into this cutie's head.
- I've told everyone else about what happened in Takarazaki,
- but I still haven't told you why I want to get to the top, have I, Sasha?
- Alexandra
- Did you bring me here to tell me that...?
- Himena
- You were the first person to be by my side Sasha.
- You saved me, so this cutie wanted to tell you.
- Alexandra
- Is it okay for me to hear this...?
- Himena
- I want you to hear. You're this cutie's memb after all.
- Alexandra
- .....
- Why are you aiming for the top, Hime-chan?
- Himena
- [Well, Hiko-kun died because I wasn't able to save him from his suffering.]
- [At the time, this cutie was in such a sweet group, and Hiko-kun was a downer and a loner.]
- [And yet this cutie, his childhood bestie, fell in love with Hiko-kun because he was a total brainiac that would teach me anything. There was absolutely no one else like him. He and I were meant to be together since the day we were born.]
- [To be totally honest, we had to keep it a secret because we were on completely different social standings, so getting caught would've been real bad. But they found us together anyway.]
- [Then some guy confessed to me and got super rejected, which caused even bigger problems from then on.]
- [This cutie got some cold looks after, but Hiko-kun was going through a hell that I didn't understand... Although, Hiko-kun was his same miserable self as usual, so this cutie never noticed...]
- [When I finally realized, it was already too late to help...]
- [Thanks to me becoming a mahou shoujo, Hiko-kun is still alive inside this cutie, but like you saw with those girls that ran away earlier, we're still not free to go out together.]
- Himena
- Isn't it just total nonsense? Classroom politics and stuff.
- If I love someone, I damn well shouldn't have to be stingy about it.
- Alexandra
- ――っ!?
- Himena
- Sasha...?
- Alexandra
- Really, why do we have to restrain ourselves from loving someone...
- Himena
- Aren't limits like that useless...? If we broke them, we would be absolutely happy, right...?
- Alexandra
- I think so.
- Himena
- That's why this cutie's going to the top, where no one can stop us.
- Where no one will make fun of us, where I can spend time with him, happy as can be.
- Alexandra
- ...There are no limits to love.
- Himena
- Yeah, there are no limits to loving someone.
- Alexandra
- Hime-chan is so unfair♪
- Himena
- Why?
- Alexandra
- After telling me that, I have to play today♪
- Just for Hime-chan... And now...
- [I dedicate to you, Hiko-kun, a requiem♪]
- -Train-
- Alexandra
- .....
- -Flashback (Park, Night, Heavy Rain)-
- Alexandra
- Oh...?
- Himena
- I'm not crazy... When I talk to him he responds to me...
- Hey, why does no one understand...
- Why does no one approve of us cuties being in love...
- Maybe this cutie should just climb to the heavens where no one can stand against us...
- Where no one will yell their disdain...
- Alexandra
- .....
- [I first met Hime-chan back when I was trying to infiltrate Neo Magius, but was having trouble because the group had disbanded...]
- [At the time, Hime-chan was completely falling apart and looked like she would turn into a witch at any moment, but something about her overflowing tenacity had stuck within my heart.]
- [I knew if I gave her a chance, she would use that overflowing tenacity of hers to bring back Neo Magius and allow me to use it as a front.]
- -End Flashback-
- Alexandra
- (But I didn't think you would go this far, Hime-chan...)
- Himena
- You know, ideology is kinda like a drug.
- Alexandra
- Eh...?
- Himena
- Trying to get to the top through mahou shoujo supremacy, we've just been thinking about that lately...
- Heeey, will you be going away someday, Sasha?
- Alexandra
- Just like how Hime-chan has mahou shoujo supremacy,
- I have my own ideology I believe in on how to save mahou shoujo♪
- Himena
- We've just been thinking about it a bit lately.
- To be real with you, this cutie's been more normal lately because you're here, Sasha.
- Alexandra
- Me being here doesn't really have anything to do with that...
- Himena
- There's a chance that we'll get contaminated with that ideology.
- Would you still go?
- Alexandra
- ...I'm sorry.
- .....
- What are you going to do from here on, Hime-chan...?
- Himena
- We heard what we wanted to hear from Kyubey and the instructors.
- Next we're going to set up a big, flashy show.
- [And tonight will be the grand opening.]
- =====2=====
- -Pond (Evening)-
- Chiharu
- Haa...haa... How did everyone do...?
- Was anyone able to find Neo Magius' base...?
- Shizuka
- I heard it was in Daito Ward, but there were no clues...
- Rather, I ended up getting lost and had to ask Asahi to get me.
- Asahi
- By the time I got to her, she was utterly lost...
- Chiharu
- What about you, Asahi-chan...?
- Asahi
- I couldn't find a single thing myself.
- No one pestering me to join them, not a single trace of magic to sense...
- Ryouko
- Same here...
- Shizuka
- So their surprise attack at Suitoku Temple was their final invitation, then...
- And the rest...
- Tokime Girl
- .....
- Chiharu
- Sunao-chan...Chika-chan... And the girls of the branch families...
- Ryouko
- Don't worry, Chiharu. Evil always ends up losing.
- Maybe we'll just stumble upon their base and get to kick their asses.
- Shizuka
- .....
- Chiharu
- Yeah...I'm sorry, Ryouko-chan. I shouldn't be so weak-hearted.
- Even Shizuka-chan is keeping her cool...
- Shizuka
- .....
- Chiharu
- If I stay like this, Todoroki Koichi will be mad at me...
- Shizuka
- AHH DAMMIT! IT'S OVER IT'S OVER IT'S OOOVEEER!
- Chiharu
- Ueh!? Eh!? W-w-what is!?
- Asahi
- Shizuka-dono's lost her mind...
- Shizuka
- No I have not!
- I have decided to not keep it secret anymore.
- Asahi
- Hm? Mm?
- Chiharu
- Huuh...?
- Shizuka
- What I mean is that Sunao and Chika went to their team as an act,
- their true intention being to locate the Neo Magius base.
- Chiharu
- Then that...
- Shizuka
- They will contact us again soon.
- And then we will bring all of our clan back.
- Chiharu
- Eh, but those two are with Neo Magius' leader...!
- Shizuka
- Hence the acting.
- -Flashback-
- Shizuka
- You will NEVER lay a hand on Sunao or anyone else!
- Ryouko
- Fighting before Buddha calls for divine punishment,
- but I guess it just has to be.
- Chiharu
- We're even numbered...
- Sunao-chan... Open your eyes...
- Sunao
- .....
- ~ Shizuka, Chika and I will infiltrate and investigate them together. ~
- Shizuka
- ~ Eh, eh... What do you mean...!? ~
- Sunao
- ~ Chika was aware of Neo Magius' plans before they got here, ~
- ~ so we pretended to join them, as have some of the branches. ~
- Shizuka
- ~ Why did you not tell me? ~
- Sunao
- ~ I didn't think much of it. ~
- ~ But our people really are being taken from us without us knowing... ~
- ~ By tomorrow the two of us will discover the whereabouts of their base. ~
- ~ So please, you and everyone else must remain in Daito as much as possible. ~
- Shizuka
- ~ I...I understand. I will await your word... ~
- Sunao
- ~ Please give Charu and everyone my regards. ~
- Shizuka
- ~ No, I will string them along until the last moment. ~
- Sunao
- ~ Why do that...? ~
- Shizuka
- ~ We have to appear that we are panicking. ~
- ~ If we showed composure, would Neo Magius not find out ~
- ~ about the infiltration and put you two in danger? ~
- Sunao
- ~ I appreciate your concern. Now then, we follow the plan. ~
- Shizuka
- ~ You place such a burden upon me, Sunao. ~
- GIVE BACK SUNAO! BRING ALL OF THE GIRLS BACK THIS INSTANT!
- -End Flashback-
- Chiharu
- You're kidding! You completely fooled me!
- You didn't trust me enough to tell me! How terrible!
- Shizuka
- If I told you, Charu, you would have just gotten excited.
- Chiharu
- No I wouldn't!
- Asahi
- Your face already says it all.
- Ryouko
- Guess it's up to them now.
- Shizuka
- Yes, I pray for their success.
- Chiharu
- ――っ!?
- Shizuka
- Charu...?
- Chiharu
- I don't know who it is, but there's magic coming from the prison over there...
- Shizuka
- It seems Union is returning home...
- Chiharu
- .....Yeah.
- ---
- Tokime Girl
- I never thought I'd see you two come here.
- Sunao
- I've always thought about it myself.
- Diviners...mahou shoujo are greater than human beings.
- Chika
- Yes, it's natural to want to be respected, that much I've realized working in the forest.
- Tokime Girl
- Are you listening to the speech today?
- Chika
- Yes, I imagine Neo Magius can explain things to the new Tokime people?
- Tokime Girl
- Yeah, I heard we can ask all about the goals they're working towards.
- Chika
- ~ Sunao-san, you were right to infiltrate. ~
- Sunao
- ~ Yes, not only can we tell them the location of the base, but also their goals. ~
- ~ You are the one that noticed change happening with everyone in Tokime. This is all thanks to you, Chika-san.~
- Chika
- ~ I'm just keen on incidents like this. ~
- ~ It's not a good memory, but I am glad it helped. ~
- Sunao
- ~ Now all we need to do is inform Shizuka of the location of Kamihama Community Center... ~
- ~ She should be nearby... ~
- Tokime Girl
- Ah, it's you two. It must be about time to begin.
- Sunao
- っ...
- Miyuri
- Everyone, everyone! Everyone from Tokime clan!
- Princess will arrive shortly, so please wait inside the hall!
- San
- Toki-san of Tokime clan.
- Sunao
- Y-yes...!?
- San
- Be sure to turn your smartphone off so there's no noise.
- Princess wouldn't appreciate her speech being interrupted.
- Sunao
- .....I understand.
- San
- And of course that goes for you as well, Aoba-san.
- Chika
- Okay...
- Sunao
- (There has to be somewhere we can get out of here...)
- (This is our chance to round up all of Neo Magius...)
- ...You won't get away.
- =====3=====
- Hagumu
- U-um, Aika-san is running a little late,
- so please be patient...!
- Sunao
- .....
- (I turned it back on, but there's no service either way...)
- (This hall must be blocking signals...)
- Shigure
- H-Hagumun, Hagumun.
- Hagumu
- Shigure-chan, what's wrong...?
- Shigure
- We need to explain the Wings of Magius to fill the time...
- Hagumu
- For Aika-san...?
- Shigure
- Yeah...Princess messaged me saying so...
- Hagumu
- I'm not good at public speaking, though...
- Sunao
- .....
- Hagumu's Voice
- [U-umm, we, Neo Magius, used to be an organization called the Wings of Magius.]
- [And uhh... We had the goal of releasing all mahou shoujo from the fate of becoming witches.]
- [And so...those that were gathered...were weak and helpless mahou shoujo...like us...]
- [Of course we support the goal to release everyone, but above that, Shigure-chan and I have faith in the words of Touka-sama and Nemu-sama.]
- [That was, umm... oh right, "mahou shoujo supremacism" is what it's called...]
- [What should I do, Shigure-chan? My legs are shaking...could you take over...?]
- Shigure's Voice
- [Eh, eh, there's no way I can do it...!]
- Sunao
- (I might have a chance now that they're hesitating...)
- ~ Chika-chan, I'm going out now to try to contact Shizuka's team...~
- Chika
- ~ Understood... ~
- ~ I'll keep an eye out for a chance to slip by as well... ~
- Sunao
- .....
- There's service here. Now to contact Shizuka...
- ――っ!?
- San
- You've been so focused on trying to make a call that you don't pay any attention.
- Miyuri
- Careless, careless! What a disappointing enemy!
- Sunao
- So you noticed me...
- San
- If the branch family is here, then the leader has a mark on us.
- It's obvious, isn't it?
- Miyuri
- Yes yes, we expected something like this would happen!
- So so, San-sama! What should Miyu do with this person...!?
- San
- Oh, Miyuri, you already know what to do, huhu.
- Sunao
- っ...
- -Flashback-
- San
- Miyu!
- Chiharu
- Gu...
- San's Voice
- RUN OVER HER ARM!
- Miyuri
- Yes, with pleasure.
- Sunao
- CHARU!
- -End Flashback-
- Miyuri
- HAA...HAA...!
- [*Snap*]
- San
- When I was in the Wings of Magius, you came after me when I returned to Takarazaki, but...
- I won't trip over the same rut twice.
- Miyuri
- Huuuu...
- San
- Run her down, Miyu.
- Miyuri
- Yes...
- Sunao
- (This is a bad place to be in...!)
- San
- Hu!
- Sunao
- Aah!
- (This reaction...Chika-san...!)
- -Battle-
- Sunao
- ~ Chika-san! Get to Shizuka while I hold them off! ~
- Chika
- ~ But, you're against those two! ~
- Sunao
- ~ It's okay, they will not break me! ~
- ~ This is my atonement to fulfill Tokime's ideals, so please! ~
- Chika
- ~ ...Understood! ~
- Sunao
- I tried to kill Charu and Shizuka in the past, and nothing will ever change that...
- That is why I will push their ideals to the limit...!
- -End Battle-
- Shizuka
- It came!
- Chiharu
- Sunao-chan!?
- Shizuka
- No, it's from Chika...
- .....Wha-
- Chiharu
- What's wrong...?
- Shizuka
- They were found out while infiltrating, and Sunao is caught in a battle!
- Chiharu
- Where are they...!?
- Shizuka
- Kamihama Community Center... Everyone, let's go...!
- Chiharu
- Yeah!
- ---
- Alexandra
- Apologies for being late, uhuhu♪
- Himena
- Sasha and I had a liiitle bit of business to take care of, so we're running late.
- So, instructor, how's it lookin' in there?
- San
- None of the branch families seem to have been chosen by the Kimochi,
- but three of them are capable of fighting for us.
- Himena
- Kyaha★ Now we're makin' progress.
- Well, even if they can't fight, it's all about how we use them, really.
- Anywho, we're O and K now, aren't we?
- San
- But there is some concern that Tokime will invade after this.
- Alexandra
- Ahh, so that's why Miyu-chan has her war face on♪
- Miyuri
- .....
- Himena
- Was it that Toki Sunao after all?
- San
- Yes, but she was already dealt with.
- Alexandra
- Then, Hime-chan,
- let's make our way to the stage with peace of mind♪
- Himena
- Let's!
- Then intructor and Miyurin can take the other members
- and stop any Tokime girls that show up outside.
- San
- If Princess approves of it.
- Himena
- O and K★
- San
- Alright, Miyu, let's stand guard outside.
- Miyuri
- Yes...
- Himena
- Then us cuties are off. Sasha, if you'd please.
- Alexandra
- ...Okay♪
- =====4=====
- Shigure's Voice
- [So the Wings of Magius tried to use Walpurgisnacht, but couldn't turn Eve into a real witch...]
- [The only thing left was the automatic purification system and our ideology.]
- Hagumu's Voice
- [And that's why we started spreading the idea of mahou shoujo supremacy.]
- Shigure
- [Yeah...as Neo Magius...]
- Himena
- Kyaha★ This has gotta be the best timing.
- Alexandra
- It sure is, Hime-chan♪
- Himena
- ~ Shigurin and Hagurin, go follow the instructor's group now. ~
- ~ Oh, and let her know. ~
- Hagumu
- ~ What are we letting her know? ~
- Himena
- ~ With good timing, we have one chance ~
- ~ to get all the Tokime into this hall. ~
- Shigure
- ~ What for...? ~
- Himena
- ~ So everyone can make nice when they come to Neo Magius ~
- ~ and there won't be any infighting. Peaceful, you know? ~
- Alexandra
- .....
- Himena
- Anywho, let's pass the baton and keep this speech rolling.
- Kyaha★
- [Is that some new faces in the crowd I see? I'm the mahou shoujo running the top of Neo Magius - Aika Himena heeere★]
- [So, you guys heard all the deets about mahou shoujo supremacism from Shigurin and Hagurin, did you? They don't seem too hot on explaining things, so I wonder if you guys got the full story or not?]
- [Well, the long and short of it is that us cute little mahou shoujo are totally better than humans, and WAY cooler!]
- [After all, we're the ones killing witches and familiars that prey on humans, so aren't we the ones with stronger bodies that ordinary humans could only dream of having?]
- [Compared to humans that gotta deal with sickness and aging, we're a totally amazing species, aren't we?]
- [And on top of that, when we were the Wings of Magius, Kyubey told the Magius that humanity would never have evolved without mahou shoujo.]
- [So don't you think it's natural for us to be respected now?]
- [I'm not speaking nonsense here, people. It's normal to want to hear nothing but the truth, and that's what this cutie's telling you.]
- [You guys are all thinking it, aren't ya? If you are, let's hear a little applause.]
- [*Clap clap clap clap*]
- -Outside-
- Chiharu
- Sunao-chan...!
- Sunao
- ....Cha...ru.
- Asahi
- Chika-dono!
- Chika
- ...I'm sorry, I was defeated...
- Shizuka
- No, thank you... You've both fulfilled your duty.
- Ryouko
- You okay to move...?
- Chika
- Ah! Kuu!!
- Ryouko
- This is pretty bad... You're more hurt than you look...
- Chiharu
- Sunao-chan, too...?
- Sunao
- ...I don't...yes, I still can't move...
- Shizuka
- .....
- San
- You're calmer than I was expecting.
- Shizuka
- No, you have no idea how much my body burns right now...
- You've trampled over my companions that fight as blades of the rising sun...
- San
- So, what are you going to do about it?
- Shizuka
- I have decided.
- We will defeat all of you, and bring back all of our companions inside!
- Shigure
- Instructor! We're here, too...!
- Hagumu
- Yes, we'll protect you until it's all over...!
- San
- This will be a melee. Miyu, you ready?
- Miyu
- Yes...
- Chiharu
- We're in this, too. For Sunao-chan and everyone!
- Ryouko
- Yeah, I'm boiling over with rage, especially the way you're goin' about this!
- Asahi
- I agree with that.
- They must have left these two here on purpose...
- Shizuka
- If you are trying to anger me, you have gone well past your goal!
- Tokime clan! We will defeat these girls and bring our branch families back home!
- And while we are at it, today we will put an end to Neo Magius!
- =====5=====
- -Inside-
- Himena
- [Of course, the mahou shoujo of Neo Magius will be the ones standing above all others.]
- [However, as long as there are mahou shoujo that stand in the way of us cuties, we must also rise to the peak of the world of mahou shoujo to silence those against us.]
- [So, what do we do about that!?]
- [This cutie and my BF have a perfect image of just what "resource" and "structure" we need to climb to the top, so don't you worry a thing★]
- [The "resource," first of all, is that "automatic purification system" we all know and love. As long as us cuties take control of it, no mahou shoujo can ever resist us!]
- [And the "structure" as we call it is a "management system" focused on those who believe in mahou shoujo supremacism.]
- [This cutie, unlike a certain Union, is thinking of dividing up the auto puri sys into smaller sections and then allocating them by population or area density instead of giving it to the whole world.]
- [Those that get to use it will naturally be mahou shoujo of Neo Magius that believe in mahou shoujo supremacism. So the more hostile an area is, the less they get to use the auto puri sys.]
- [So for real, if they try resisting they'll get cut off, but if they give in to our ideals, they'll be nice and safe, so why the heck not, right?]
- [Kyaha★]
- [And in case you're thinking it, nothing this cutie's telling you is some far-off dream or a grand delusion]
- [because before announcing this, we got confirmation from Kyubey that we have a probable chance to pull this off.]
- [Maybe some of you are reluctant to do this, but it's not like we're trying to control you or kill you or anything.]
- [This cutie is just making a proper set of rules to show you a new point of view in your everyday life of witch hunting.]
- [So long as everyone accepts us cuties through them, we have no reason to ever do anything horrible.]
- [Well, that is all...]
- -Outside-
- San
- I wonder if Princess's briefing is about to come to an end...
- Shizuka
- Hurry and get out of my way!!
- San
- っ, So you want to attack foolishly head-on, do you.
- Shizuka
- Of course I will, so long as my friends are in danger.
- San
- Huhu.
- Shizuka
- Why do you laugh...?
- San
- There is no danger. You should obediently accept our ideas.
- Shizuka
- What makes you say such a thing?
- San
- Because your friends are going to be scratching their heads from now on.
- Shizuka
- ――っ!?
- Ryouko
- They're talkin' about some bad stuff over there...
- Asahi
- We will have to get into the thick of things and take them all out in one go.
- Hagumu
- I won't let you go just yet...!
- Asahi
- Hu!
- Hagumu
- Agh!
- Asahi
- Guns also make for fine blunt weapons.
- Chiharu
- What are you planning on doing to everyone...!? Spit it out!
- Shigure
- I-I...nothing...!
- Ryouko
- Fine by me, guess you won't mind if I take a look myself!
- Shigure
- Au!
- Shizuka
- What are your intentions...?
- San
- "Altering their perception."
- Shizuka
- Ault...aring...?
- San
- Yes, among our members is a girl capable of such.
- She had a terrible shock and lost her ability to use her unique magic,
- but when her doppel emerges, she is able to demonstrate her powerful altering ability...
- Shizuka
- In other words, once that happens...
- San
- Your companions may think they were in Neo Magius all along.
- Shizuka
- Charu!
- Chiharu
- I know! We have to break through and save them no matter what!
- ---
- Shizuka
- Here we go...!
- Tokime Unified Style: Swordslength Guillotine Kick!!
- San
- GAH! Kuu...
- This isn't good, my head is spinning...
- Chiharu
- My turn...let's go!!
- Chiharu Detective Story: God Speed chapter!!
- Miyuri
- ――っ!?
- Chiharu
- No one in all of Edo has ever escaped this capture!
- Let's go, Shizuka-chan! Everyone else, hurry!
- Shizuka
- We're going immediately. But Ryouko, could you stay behind?
- There is no way we can leave Sunao and Chika alone.
- Ryouko
- I don't mind, but can you give 'em hell for me?
- Shizuka
- Yes.
- Asahi
- I will be excusing myself now.
- Hagumu
- Ku...ow...!
- Ryouko
- Why don't we just say the fight is over here.
- Nothin' good will come from us smackin' each other until we're tired.
- San
- Why not, let's watch how the rest ends together.
- Ryouko
- What the - weren't you knocked out just a second ago...?
- San
- Just pretending. Right, Miyu?
- Miyuri
- Ha, San-sama! What's the current situation!?
- San
- The Tokime mahou shoujo are heading into the hall.
- Miyuri
- That's...and that's okay!?
- San
- Yes, because we did precisely what Princess asked us to.
- Ryouko
- You let them go on purpose...? You bastard, you gotta be joking!!
- San
- Now now, I may be guessing, but are you going to go with them?
- Ryouko
- You're trying to capture the entire head family...!!
- =====6=====
- -Inside-
- Himena
- [Under mahou shoujo supremacy, Neo Magius will rise to the top!]
- [Now we just need to secure the automatic purification system, and keep other mahou shoujo away from it! And simultaneously us cuties must tell everyone in the world just how great the life of a mahou shoujo is!]
- Himena's Voice
- [We're looking forward to what you will do in the future, but it will take your courage and determination to walk this path, and we will definitely need more people for it, too.]
- Alexandra
- .....
- (Something has been pricking at my heart...)
- (I'm sure...it's because I'm worried about you, Hime-chan...)
- -Flashback-
- Alexandra
- ...Then, may I just tell you one thing?
- Himena
- What? Something real crazy dark?
- Alexandra
- Yes...
- Even if you manage to carry out your goals, I believe you will die, Hime-chan.
- -End Flashback-
- Alexandra
- (Because it's exactly what I think will happen...)
- (And...)
- -Flashback-
- Himena
- To be real with you, this cutie's been more normal lately because you're here, Sasha.
- Alexandra
- Me being here doesn't really have anything to do with that...
- Himena
- There's a chance that we'll get contaminated with ideas.
- Will you still go?
- -End Flashback-
- Alexandra
- (Those words foretell that death will make its entrance...)
- Even so...can I help you...? Can I really save you, Hime-chan...
- Himena
- [I think every single one of you already has hopes to rise above humans and mahou shoujo alike, that all of you are already filled with courage and determination, but hey now, how are you guys really feeling?]
- [*Clap clap...clap*]
- Himena
- [Well, you guys still don't know all the details, and I did give a kinda punchy speech, so it's totally normal for some of you to still be confused.]
- Alexandra
- (It's already my turn...)
- I don't want to...
- (I'm just trying to console myself over my own tragic love)
- (by helping Hime-chan and Hiko-kun's love...)
- But, I have my answer... Even though I know it's a path of thorns...
- Himena
- Well, here's our one chance. Let's unify those thoughts of yours.
- Tokime Girl
- W-what's that...!? A demon...!?
- Himena
- Miwarin's doppel. Now everyone can be together!
- Kyaha★
- Shizuka's Voice
- EVERYONE, WAKE UP!
- Shizuka
- We're going back to Suitoku Temple together!!
- Chiharu
- The leader's on the stage!
- Their members being outside gave us a chance!
- Asahi
- I can topple their support.
- As long as I have my ability, she will be easy prey.
- Himena
- What are you guys in such a good mood for?
- Aren't you the ones in deep shit now?
- Take it away, Sasha★
- Alexandra
- Huu...
- -Battle-
- Alexandra
- Uhuhu♪
- Now let's listen to this beautiful tone of mine and relax our bodies~♪
- Tokime Girl
- H-huh...what...
- Chiharu
- っ, My knees have lost all strength...
- Asahi
- It's not just that, my entire body is...
- Shizuka
- ...My will to move.
- Alexandra
- You're getting more and more comfortable. It's silly to try and fight now♪
- -End Battle-
- -Outside (Night)-
- Kagome
- Haa...haa... Huh, everyone is here...
- ――っ!? Sunao-san and Chika-san...
- Ryouko
- As you can see, the Tokime clan's in a bit of a life-or-death situation.
- .....
- Miyuri
- This is bad, this is bad. We absolutely can't let you go!!
- San
- You do know we can't let you help them, right...?
- Ryouko
- Sunao and Chika's lives, you mean...? I'm fully aware.
- Kagome
- What is going on inside right now...?
- Hagumu
- Aika-san is giving a briefing to all the Tokime girls gathered here.
- Shigure
- ...She's going to force everyone into wanting to be our teammates or something...
- I only just found out about it too, though...
- San
- It will be much easier to move about once Tokime's head family becomes ours.
- Kagome
- (Neo Magius has suddenly changed... This may be my chance to learn what they do and why...)
- San
- I don't mind if you go, but do realize there's no telling what could happen to you, okay?
- Kagome
- Eh...?
- San
- If you go in at the wrong time, you'll also undergo alterations.
- Even with that Uwasa that Nemu-sama created protecting you,
- I don't know how much the altering of perception may affect you.
- Kagome
- Is...that so...
- Uwasa of the Wind Evangelist
- ――――
- Kagome
- Okay...Rii-chan is also telling me to wait some time...
- Ryouko
- That Uwasa...was it? I can see the thing now.
- Kagome
- Yes...Nemu-chan was able to complete it.
- Miyuri
- Miyu's heard about that before; that was the last one Nemu-sama had made.
- San
- Yes, the Uwasa of the Wind Evangelist.
- Kagome
- Ah, by the way, this is the first time I've been able to properly speak with you two...
- Um...I am Satori Kagome...
- San
- I've heard some gossip about you. You're the girl that collects info together with your Uwasa.
- I am Kagura San, and this here is Yukari Miyuri.
- Miyuri
- Ah, it's nice to meet you.
- Kagome
- Did you two join Neo Magius recently...?
- San
- Yes, because we share a similar goal to Neo Magius.
- Besides, someone has to raise Miyabi and Azumi to grow a little backbone.
- Miyuri
- Yes yes!
- Kagome
- Are you both also trying to spread mahou shoujo supremacy...?
- Miyuri
- Nope nope, that's not what we do. It's only a checkpoint for us.
- Kagome
- Checkpoint...?
- San
- Miyu and I want to become gods. The new gods of our local festival.
- Kagome
- .....
- San
- Huh, did I say something strange...?
- Kagome
- No, it's less strange and more amazing... To become gods...
- San
- But Princess, you know, she's going to make it happen.
- Kagome
- Is that what will save you?
- San
- As long as I am a mahou shoujo...
- Kagome
- (There is no limit to the backgrounds of people that can be saved...)
- (I knew that, but it must be so difficult...)

- -Inside-

- Tokime Girl 2
- .....
- Chiharu
- What should we do...? Shizuka...chan...
- Shizuka
- Ku...Pick yourself back up... That's all...
- Asahi
- Mu, I'm at my limit...
- Himena
- Yeppers, Sasha's performance is su & preme, after all.
- It's totally too strong to try to resist and move.
- Alexandra
- ~ The audience has been fully affected by the magic. ~
- Himena
- ~ Alrighty, shall we do the finishing touches? ~
- You're up, Miwarin.
- Chiharu
- At this rate, everyone is gonna...
- Shizuka
- .....
- Chiharu
- Shizuka-chan...
- Shizuka
- .....
- Chiharu
- Shizuka-chan...!!
- Shizuka
- ッ!!
- Gu!!
- Chiharu
- Eh, why are your hands... there's blood...!
- Shizuka
- Huu...ッ! That woke me up a little.
- Himena
- I always knew Tokime's leader was a wild one.
- Well, if you jump in, you'll get altered along with them.
- Mitsune
- .....
- Shizuka
- I won't let you...change them...!!
- Mitsune
- ――っ!?
- Shizuka
- Stop it...!!
- Mitsune
- .....
- Shizuka
- Gu...uu...Kuu~~~~!!
- -Battle-
- Himena
- Hold on!
- Tokime's Shizuka-chan, what the hell are you doing!?
- Shizuka
- っ, It looks like...you didn't factor in my unique magic!!
- Himena
- Terrible, terrible, how utterly ridiculous...!
- -End Battle-
- Alexandra
- Excuse me, Hime-chan.
- My performance has also reached the limit...
- Himena
- No prob, thanks, Sasha.
- But hey, that unique magic...
- The BF and this cutie both thought that was something with eye contact.
- Shizuka
- Haa...っ...huu...
- That is a technique of Tokime Unified Style. It has nothing to do with magic.
- Alexandra
- It was a bad idea to have the instructor's group stay outside...
- Himena
- Not yet...
- Tokime Girl
- I will not forgive those who came to ruin Princess's speech...!!
- Tokime Girl 2
- What the hell are you all lazing about for!? The head family is trying to stop us!
- Himena
- Kyaha★
- Looks like the members of Tokime chosen by the Kimochi
- got some real good sense put into them.
- Shizuka
- Damn, I couldn't stop it... Charu! Asahi!
- Tokime Girl
- Let's get to the stage!
- Gah...
- Asahi
- I will keep them suppressed!!
- Shizuka
- Thank the heavens, not everyone was changed!
- Alexandra
- And yet, here on this stage...
- Is only us members of Neo Magius, uhuhu♪
- Shizuka
- One against three...
- No, the other Tokime girls are...
- Tokime Girl
- You there, come to your senses! What happened to your pride as a Tokime!?
- Tokime Girl 2
- You're the one that's wrong, because we've been for mahou shoujo supremacy since the beginning...!
- Shizuka
- The altered girls are scattered everywhere... This is practically a free-for-all.
- Himena
- And it doesn't change that fact that you're in a pinch.
- Here I was going to be friends with you...but maybe you're better off dead?
- Chiharu's Voice
- YAaaAAAAA!!
- Himena
- Don't tell me another one's fine. I'm REALLY getting pissed.
- Charu
- I'm the one that's pissed off!
- How dare you rewrite all of Tokime clan's thoughts...!
- Shizuka-chan, we still have a chance to turn this around!
- Shizuka
- But Sunao and the rest are outside, and all I can do is barely stand.
- Chiharu
- You're wrong, you have the gaze locking!
- Shizuka
- Ah-...
- -Flashback-
- Shizuka's Mother
- "Gaze locking" is a technique that lets you strike with powerful emotions.
- Of all of them, the easiest to send are aggressive emotions.
- A diviner's body may become stronger, but their mind stays the same, correct?
- So, even if I was their opponent, I can still drop a diviner to their knees.
- Shizuka
- Does this mean I can send other emotions as well...?
- Shizuka's Mother
- Of course.
- I even dropped your father using this.
- -End Flashback-
- Shizuka
- [Yes...I'm sure I can use it now...]
- [Because here I can gaze upon everyone...]
- ["With giant eyes...!!"]
- ["Listen to me, everyone! You must remember!"]
- ["We are the Tokime clan. We do not wield our blades to stand above others!"]
- ["We stand side by side with humanity. We swing our blades to protect the land of the rising sun and those that live upon it!"]
- ["Of course we are better than normal people, as some of the branch families may think."]
- ["But do you want to look big to them? Do you wish to give in to feelings of superiority and laugh at them?"]
- ["No, right?"]
- ["What we want is to see the smiles of the people around us that we protect, not our own!"]
- ["Reclaim it once again, Tokime clan! Reclaim your duty and the pride you have given yourselves!"]
- Himena
- .....
- (This is our last chance... Miwarin, it's up to you...)
- =====8=====
- Kagome's Diary
- The situation with Kagura-san's group had suddenly changed, so I followed them into the Kamihama Community Center.
- Looking at the battle taking place there, it became clear that Himena-san and the rest of Neo Magius had failed to achieve their plans.
- With Tokime clan furious, Neo Magius suddenly showed signs of defeat. Even though both sides accepted being mahou shoujo, their ways of being mahou shoujo differed so greatly that neither side would ever change their outlook.
- San
- Those two on the stage are Princess and Sasha, followed by Tokime Shizuka and Hiroe Chiharu...
- It looks like there's one more... No, now there's even more...
- Everyone ignore the mahou shoujo in the audience! Prioritize helping Princess!
- Miyuri
- Help...
- ――っ!?
- Ryouko
- I gotta repay ya for all the time ya made me stand around.
- Enma-sama'll be waitin' for ya in hell.
- San
- Anyone that can go, move it!
- Tokime Girl
- I curse my foolishness for letting Neo Magius use us.
- And I cast aside my shame and respect, for we will defend the head family where we stand!
- Shigure
- っ, Hagumun...! We can't get closer to them like this...!
- Hagumu
- Even with this many here, we have to find a gap to get through...!
- Kagome
- .....
- Yes, I can hear them. I can hear everyone's voices through you, Rii-chan.
- Mahou shoujo that want to stand above all, mahou shoujo that want to stand together...
- Just like in human society, the desires of mahou shoujo are entangled...
- Himena
- It's all going super downhill... Talk about the worst pattern ever...
- Shizuka
- Then I shall make it an even worse pattern!
- Himena
- ――っ!?
- Shizuka
- You will return the Kimochi stone you stole from Charu!
- RyaaaAAH!
- Alexandra
- Hime-chan, please run away!
- You are the only pillar that holds Neo Magius up!
- Himena
- Thanks, Sasha.
- Shizuka
- Stand aside.
- Alexandra
- I would rather be her shield than lose Hime-chan.
- (I really don't have to go this far. I've completely changed course...)
- (Even so...)
- -Flashback-
- Teacher
- You and I are student and teacher... Our relationship can't go any farther than that...
- Other students are watching you with curiosity. Cut it out while it's still just a rumor...
- -End Flashback-
- Alexandra
- If only I could be as strong as you, Hime-chan...
- That's why I will help Hime-chan's love until the very end...!
- Chiharu
- You shouldn't bring so many people into your personal problems!
- Himena
- Haa...
- Well, this cutie can at least take care of one of you.
- Chiharu
- I'll be taking back the Kimochi stone you took from me.
- And for your crime of deceiving the Tokime clan, I will be your judge!
- Himena
- Kyaha★
- Sure thing, go ahead and do it.
- Oh look, the Kimochi already prepared a magistrate's office.
- How about that!
- Chiharu
- .....
- ---
- Himena
- Uo!
- Chiharu
- You were so cocky a second ago, but you don't look like a fighter at all...
- I too never wanted to fight other mahou shoujo,
- but after encountering Promised Blood, I've gotten a little stronger.
- Himena
- What a pain...so what if you are?
- Will Tokime win if you get stronger? How shittily naive.
- Chiharu
- Even if it is, I'm sure I'll beat you here.
- Himena
- (You're right, Hiko-kun.)
- Chiharu
- Tokime Unified Style... Life Severing Triple Slash!!
- Himena
- Ku...u...
- Chiharu
- You won't move anymore after that damage. I've won.
- ---
- Himena
- ...Oh no, did this cutie get killed?
- ???
- ――――
- Himena
- Is this because I forced you away the other day? This is our first time meetin'.
- Never thought I'd faint and meet you in my dreams.
- Kyaha★
- ???
- ――――
- Himena
- This cutie doesn't really mind taking you to the auto puri sys,
- but only after we achieve our goal.
- We're not doing this just for you Kimochi.
- ???
- ――――
- Himena
- You're gonna lend me your power after this cutie was beaten?
- ???
- ――――
- Himena
- っ!
- This cutie REALLY doesn't appreciate you trying to get inside me.
- ???
- ――――
- Himena
- You're gonna take over my body to get to the auto purification system?
- っ, YOU WILL NOT TAKE AWAY THE LAST PLACE HIKO-KUN BELONGS!!
- ???
- ――――!?!?
- Himena
- This cutie's mind isn't so weak to let you do that.
- Heey, I'll come get you again, so can you get me out of here?
- ---
- Chiharu
- Ah, I did it... I got the Kimochi stone back!
- Shizuka
- That's great, Charu!
- Alexandra
- Hime-chan...
- Shizuka
- Your boss is defeated, and the stone once again belongs to Tokime!
- Fighting is no longer necessary! Do you want to risk the life of your boss!?
- San
- They suddenly got quiet...
- Himena
- ~ We're done here, instructor. ~
- San
- ~ Princess...!! ~
- Himena
- This cutie's finished...
- Shizuka
- .....
- Shizuka
- Then why not disband Neo Magius and come join the Tokime clan?
- If we are as similar as you say,
- even if we've had our disagreements, perhaps we could accept you.
- Himena
- Don't make fun of me.
- Going by Tokime's logic, we'd have to help dirty humans, too.
- Evil hides throughout the entire world because it's full of shitty people.
- Shizuka
- That is not true.
- All people are able to change for the better.
- Himena
- At least this cutie gets to be a part of the dirty scum.
- If it's for Hiko-kun, I'll do any bad deed.
- It will never change.
- Even in humans there's all kinds of evil, and you help them equally.
- Shizuka
- ――っ!?
- You're wrong, someday those people too will change. There is reason in helping them!
- Himena
- I really hate those pure eyes of yours.
- I don't need someone like you that's never gotten dirty before telling me how to be clean.
- Absolute altruism may seem pretty, but on the inside it's hollow.
- Shizuka
- People will never find happiness with someone like you alive!
- Alexandra
- HIME-CHAN!
- Chiharu
- SHIZUKA-CHAN!
- [*Baaaang...*]
- Shizuka
- Eh-...
- Himena
- .....
- Asahi
- There is no need for Shizuka-dono to become sullied.
- Shizuka
- Asahi...
- Alexandra
- HIME-CHAAAAAN!!
- -Flashback-
- Alexandra
- ...Then, may I just tell you one thing?
- Himena
- What? Something real crazy dark?
- Alexandra
- Yes...
- Even if you manage to carry out your goals, I believe you will die, Hime-chan.
- =====9=====
- -Banbanzai-
- Tsuruno's Father
- Wasn't expecting Tsuruno to come back injured.
- I know she's a tough girl, but as her father,
- I have to reflect that sometimes bad things can happen.
- Tsuruno
- I'm really sorry, everyone, you guys saved me today.
- Yachiyo
- Don't worry about it.
- We're not usually busy, but the five of us came to get her,
- so I suppose we did end up being busy.
- Tsuruno
- Smiling about it is real mean!
- Iroha
- But, are you sure your body is okay enough to be moving?
- Tsuruno
- There's some pain here and there, but as you can see, I'm chock-full of energy!
- And it's all thanks to Iroha-chan for healing me.
- Iroha
- I-it wasn't that much.
- Yachiyo
- Well, it was hard for everyone, but I believe we did gain quite a lot out of it.
- Iroha
- That's right.
- There's other routes that lead to the shortcut that aren't through the prison,
- and Kasane-san going berserk...
- Sana
- Momoko-san thought the same as you, Iroha-san...
- Felicia
- Even if we can borrow some kinda power, ain't it gonna end up bein' somethin' bad...?
- Sana
- I know that overusing doppels has an impact on us...
- Ui
- All of the Kimochi were originally Eve...
- Maybe it's bad because they're like witches...?
- Although, they do feel a little different.
- Iroha
- I agree.
- It might be dangerous to accept their help, but they don't seem malicious.
- Though, I think they may just be desperate to return to where they came from.
- Ui
- Yeah, I have that feeling.
- Yachiyo
- For now you should be careful not to use it indiscriminately.
- That goes for you, too.
- Felicia
- Yup!
- Tsuruno
- There's also the underground near the prison, but I honestly don't think it's there.
- Felicia
- But if their shortcut's underground, it'd be weird if there ain't anything else underground.
- Tsuruno
- But I even looked it up, and there's no sewers or anything there.
- Tsuruno's Father
- A subway should be right around there.
- Tsuruno
- Ho? Subway? Otou-san, you know something?
- Tsuruno's Father
- When your father was still a kid, I went snooping around that area.
- If I remember right, Kamihama Prison's underground area was discovered while construction was going,
- so for investigation purposes the development was stopped halfway through.
- They called it the Phantom Tunnel, turnin' it into an urban legend.
- Ui
- Ah!
- Iroha
- Ui?
- Ui
- I've drawn that before! During my hospital stay!
- Iroha
- When you made a map of Kamihama with Touka-chan and Nemu-chan...
- Ui
- Yeah!
- We talked to lots of people when we made that map,
- and I drew that place, too!
- Sana
- All of a sudden the dots have all been connected...
- Felicia
- Alright! With this we can go smash 'em all in one swing!
- Female Announcer's Voice
- [It is thanks to all of your continuous votes that I have been selected to be a part of the Kamihama government for three terms now.]
- [From here I will continue making use of all of my past experience to make Kamihama a city where all can live peacefully, from the young Shinsei Ward, all the way to the older Daito.]
- Felicia
- The heck, shut up...
- Ui
- That reminds me, Touka-chan was talking about this election.
- Felicia
- Is she gonna be the mayor!?
- Yachiyo
- That's impossible, you mean her father, right?
- Ui
- Yeah, he's going to give a speech for support or something like that.
- Yachiyo
- He's part of a huge hospital and business group
- so there must be some vested interest...
- Iroha
- Yachiyo-san...
- -Puella Care Adjuster Shop-
- Yozuru
- When a customer arrives, encourage them to take a seat.
- This showing of concern is another form of kindness.
- Being unable to do this without being aware of it is quite an inconvenience.
- Yuna
- But I think it's wonderful that you're able to do it.
- Yozuru
- I am grateful.
- Yuna
- Though this makes me wonder if your sensei is coming here today or not.
- Yozuru
- I believe she will be returning shortly.
- Yuna
- Then on the subject of kindness, would you join me for a chat?
- Yozuru
- That is no problem; was there something you wish to speak about?
- Yuna
- No, it was more something I wanted to confirm.
- Are the rumors of Kamihama's east and west true?
- Yozuru
- ...I am uncertain if there is truth to it, but one from the east has died,
- and I cannot deny that the relationship between them is somewhat cold.
- However, I do not believe their relations stand to collapse anytime soon.
- Yuna
- Well, suppose you're right. There hasn't been anything new in particular lately.
- Livia
- Hup, I'm back.
- Yozuru
- Welcome back, Sensei.
- Livia
- What ya doin' with the leader of Promised Blood up in here?
- Yuna
- I was hoping to have a little adjustment.
- Livia
- If that's what ya want, ya better empty them pockets while there's still time.
- Yuna
- ...?
- Livia
- Ya gotta look that you're not in the know.
- Somehow the Neo Magius folks already went outta business.
- Yuna
- Really...?
- Livia
- Ya know that's bad even without sayin' it.
- Yuna
- Of course it is.
- Both Union and Tokime's sights are aimed at me...

- Chiharu
- Shizuka-chan...?
- Shizuka
- Ah, mm? Is something the matter?
- Chiharu
- No, you just have a troubled look on your face.
- Shizuka
- ...I am...just reflecting a little on what Neo Magius' leader had said.
- Chiharu
- ...It's bothering me.
- Todoroki Koichi says that the seed of evil is within everyone.
- Shogun Yosurinbo says that bad guys can become good guys.
- I feel like I have no choice but to believe in what I believe.
- Shizuka
- Yeah, you're right.
- Let's stop with the heavy thinking and make our way to the fruit store.
- Chiharu
- I wonder what Sunao-chan and Chika-chan would want.
- Uu-...w-what is this...
- Shizuka
- Charu...!?
- Chiharu
- S-such powerful malice...
- I've felt so much since coming to Kamihama, but this may be the strongest yet...
- Shizuka
- Something might be happening... Let's go...!
- Chiharu
- Y-yeah...
- Touka's Father
- [Indeed, under the current Kamihama municipal government, I have been working hard to improve emergency medical services in this community.]
- Shizuka
- W-what is this...?
- Chiharu
- It's an election to decide the leader of Kamihama.
- Shizuka
- So this is what that is...
- But for such an important event to decide the future...
- To be full of malice...
- Chiharu
- It's so strong...
- Touka's Father
- [And Kamihama, which is known as a relatively new city, is clearly being influenced by the wave of aging washing over the new town in Shinsei Ward all the way to the housing complexes in Daito Ward.]
- Shizuka
- .....
- Chiharu
- .....
- Shizuka
- If malice prevails, evil will rise above its people...
- Touka's Father
- [As a result, your previous mayor put especially great effort in placing restrictions on elderly care, the ability for our youth to make progress in society, and blowing our goverment budget to resolve every single problem we face.]
- Chiharu
- Look out...!
- Shizuka
- ――っ!?
- [*Throw*]
- Touka's Father
- Gu...!
- [*Clang...Screeeeech...*]
- Shizuka
- That's the guy who threw a stone just now...!

- It will never change.
- Even in humans there's all kinds of evil, and you help them equally.

- Yes, I think I can run after everyone with my own two feet a little more...
- Iroha
- But it was really difficult being with Neo Magius this time, wasn't it?
- Kagome
- Yes, it was...
- However, thanks to Rii-chan no mahou shoujo attacked me,
- and she would protect me in an emergency, so I really was fine.
- Although I couldn't get away from the fighting, so I've been thinking about it a lot...

- Is it because there's no right answer...?
- Kagome
- Yes, because the problem is over principles and opinions, just like in normal human society...
- And it's not just each group; every individual has their own problems...
- Iroha
- Then what do you want to do, Kagome-chan...?
- Kagome
- I-I...
- First of all, this is not just a battle over the Kimochi stones,
- but it may also be a battle to unite everyone on what it means to be mahou shoujo...
- It's all such a complicated web that I don't know if there ever can be unity.
- But that is why I thought I should work on my own,
- because mahou shoujo have also been separated so far from society...
- Iroha
- Maybe you're right, Kagome-chan. Maybe we will become unified in the future
- and become a part of society.
- Maybe all of us will change together, little by little...
- Kagome
- By the way, did you find your answer? You said you wanted to save everyone...
- Iroha
- No...I'm still lost...
- It's just as you said, it's all so complicated
- and nothing has been made clear to me, so I'm going to think on it a little more.
- Felicia's Voice
- UaaAAAAAHHN!!
- Kagome
- Eh, is everything all right...?
- Iroha
- Sorry, I think that was Felicia-chan.
- I'll call you later.
- Kagome
- Okay, until next time. Thank you for everything.
- -End Phone Call-
- Iroha
- What could be going on...
- Felicia
- っ, ugu...uu...
- Iroha
- Yachiyo-san, what's wrong...?
- Yachiyo
- She said she had a scary dream...
- Iroha
- Dream...
- Felicia
- Uu...っ...
- It wasn't me...
- Why would I kill mommy and daddy...

- -Neo Magius-
- Miyuri
- Now then now then, let's all decide what we do next!
- San
- Right? Princess.
- Himena
- F'now, everyone seems blind to what's really going on, huh★
- Hagumu
- Even though I remember now, this really isn't good for my heart...
- Shigure
- Really, I'd appreciate it if she'd never deceive her allies ever again...
- I hate the princess...
- Himena
- Come on now, I've said sorry and apologized over and over.
- Alexandra
- But don't you realize even I thought you were dead, Hime-chan?
- Until I heard I was under Mitsune-chan's "altering effect" anyways...
- Himena
- We were in a real shitty panic because of a series of surprises,
- so wouldn't it be best to back up and let Miwarin use her power?
- -Flashback-
- Himena
- .....
- (This is our last chance... Miwarin, it's up to you...)
- -End Flashback-
- Himena
- In the end, the person that gets all the Kimochi stones takes home the prize,
- so it's better to just draw the line and have them think I'm dead.
- San
- I just went to check how Miwa is doing, but she's beyond saving.
- Himena
- ...Serious?
- San
- It's unexplainable paralysis in the lower half of her body, the same phenomenon as Nemu-sama.
- Miyuri
- That's right that's right... She was sent to the hospital for unknown causes...
- Shigure
- It can't be...Miwa-san...
- Hagumu
- But in Nemu-sama's case, it was because of using her doppel too much.
- Miyuri
- She was using it pretty constantly. Maybe it was too intense...
- San
- It must have been too great a burden on her soul, though that's only a hypothesis.
- Alexandra
- Hime-chan...
- Shigure
- ~ B-but Hagumun...I... Don't feel like that makes sense... ~
- Hagumu
- ~ It's making me feel unsettled, too... If there was no other cause... ~
- Himena
- .....
- Alexandra
- .....
- [Hime-chan may have overcome the possibility of her death,]
- [but that doesn't mean she has been saved yet.]
- [I'm sure that if you continue to do what you're trying to do, death will lie ahead of you, Hime-chan, as if it is a reflection of someone's will.]
- [So please...be careful, okay...?]

- -Interview Recording-
- Hiiragi Nemu
- "If you want to inquire about me, I'm the same as Touka. You ask what I desire, but I have already offered up my body to the underworld once. Even if the words I choose sound like desire, I think they are no different from atonement."
- "Though I suppose no matter what I say, you still need an answer."
- "It's no matter, I am fully aware of your situation and your goal."
- "However, I do not have any greater desire than Touka does. Because unlike her, I have come to realize just how close I am to my own death."
- "As you can see from my legs, my body... No, my soul has already been corrupted and cursed by my overabundant use of my doppel."
- "I don't know what will happen the next time there is a crisis and I release my doppel,"
- "so if there is something I did want, it would be for what is yet to come."
- "One way or another, I do want to finish this book and open the eyes of those that know nothing."
- "That is my one and only desire."
- ---
- Nemu
- It is only natural because they were originally witches, but the Kimochi are quite troublesome as well.
- The only one that is inciting us to battle is Kyubey,
- so I cannot help but be suspicious.
- I wonder if it is the same for the others...?
