Mirrors Part Two

==================
Seventh Mirror Floor
==================
Iroha: Eh!? What!? What!? What do you mean? ...Eh? ...What do you mean!? ....That's ba...right! The mirror! She was in front of the mirror! The pretty lady! Then! When that person faced the mirror it shone with a flash! And then Yachiyo-san disappeared in a blink of an eye! That's why...in other words...!
Kaede: R, Right...now...What happened just now--!?
Iroha: Ah, um! Ami...Ria-san?
Ria: ...What is it?
Iroha: That...mirror...because you faced it towards Yachiyo-san...?
Ria: ...................Seems like it!
Iroha: N, No, why are you straight-up affirming it like that...?
Ria: ...IT'S A HAPPENING!
Kaede: ...N, no, it's not a happening...
Ria: I didn't do it on purpose! At most, I was just trying to show her the mirror with my reflection in it! Then, that likely was the trigger that led to her disappearance... Even I understand that much!
Iroha: So you do have...some self-awareness...
Ria: However! I did not know what that would cause at all! ...You don't know what might happen next...That's the the mirrors without end...But this is a HAPPENING! It's an accident, an accident!
Kaede: E, Even Yachiyo-san disappeared... U...Uuuuuu~!
Iroha: Kaede-chan...
Ria: I am innocent!
Iroha: Kaede-chan, it's okay, this is Yachiyo-san we're talking about...! Momoko-san and Rena-chan too...they're probably okay! ...I'm sorry, even if I say it it's not very persuasive, is it...
Kaede: .................That's not true...Thank you, Iroha-chan...
Ria: ......... (...I didn't do anything wrong, okay...)
Iroha: Let's go find...everyone...!
Kaede: Y, Yeah!
Ria: (...Oh, they're leaving...They left...they really left......Oh, they're nodding...and then, left...) ........H, Hey! Hold it!
Kaede: Uwhaaaaaa!
Iroha: Wh, What happened...?
Ria: ...I'll help too. ...with your search for those people...
Kaede: ...Eh?
Iroha: No, you don't have to, go out of your way to...
Ria: You don't need to hold back! I just happen to have a li----ttle bit of time on my hands, that's all! However, I didn't do anything wrong, got it! I will press that point, alright!?
Kaede: ...W, What should we do, Iroha-chan...?
Iroha: Yeah...well, I think it's better if a search party has more people...so I guess I'll ask?
Ria: Alright! Then it's decided! We'll start by searching over here! Follow me!
Kaede: Eh? Eh? Eh?
Iroha: P, Please wait!

==================
Eighth Mirror Floor
==================
Yachiyo: ..........Nn....nn... ...! ...This place is!? .........(Seems like I'm still in the barrier...)
...That aside. ...Sheesh...that was stupid...

Yachiyo: You! Stop turning the mirror!
Ria: But why? ...Fufu...in that case, I'll show you too! How's this, and this! This angle! That angle!
Yachiyo: I'm telling you to knock it off! If you carelessly use the mirrors here, who knows what could happe... ...Ahh!
Ria: ...Hm?

Yachiyo: (...That girl...) ......... (...I forgot what her name was.)

???:"Hey! You!"
Yachiyo: ...Who's there!? (...This voice...)
Momoko: So you were here!
Yachiyo: Momoko...I was looking for you. You see...
Momoko: I was the one looking for you! Haaaaaah!
Yachiyo: ...Guu! He, Hey! What're you doing!?
Momoko: Shut up! I'll have you know...I'll have you know! That you won't fool me into thinking you're Nanami Yachiyo!
Yachiyo: ...Huh?
Momoko: After all, the real Nanami Yachiyo is completely different! She definitely wouldn't say something that twisted! If you're going to disguise yourself as her, then start over from there! You...faker!
Yachiyo: .............Oh, I get it. Momoko...listen to what I have to say. I'm...
Momoko: AS IF I'LL LEND YOU AN EAR---!

???: "Wait...!"

Momoko: Muu! ...What just talked was...
Yachiyo: ...It's not me.

???: "It's me..."

Yachiyo?: I'm Nanami Yachiyo!
Momoko: Whaa...!
Yachiyo: ...So it introduces itself...as Nanami Yachiyo...
Yachiyo?: Momoko! What are you messing around there for? Why didn't you look for me!? Come over here this instant! And then...be pierced by my lance already! I want to appreciate the sight of you skewered through the center of your stomach with the lance thrust into the ground! Hurry...hurryyy~!! I want to pierce youuuuuuuuu!
Yachiyo: ...This has to be joke...give me a break...This is the first time I've seen a replica of myself like that...
Momoko: ...Replica? Eh? ...Y, You're...
Yachiyo: ...Fufu. So you got mad at it for me?
Momoko: ...Kuu~...So this was the real one...
Yachiyo: Makes me wonder, is this what you think I'm like?
Momoko: I, It's fine, isn't it!? (That was a mistake...she saw a horrible side of me...!)
Yachiyo: Come on, tell me?
Momoko: ...Nn? ...Did you say something?
Yachiyo: Oh, you're going to pretend you didn't hear me?
Momoko: ...Huh?
Yachiyo: Are you pretending that you didn't hear me?
Momoko: ...Eh?
Yachiyo: I said...
Yachiyo?: What the hell are you two going on about!
Yachiyo: Shut up, faker!
Momoko: That's right, shut up!
Yachiyo?: Whaaaaat~!?
Yachiyo: ...I've fought with a lot of different replicas of myself here... but this is the first time I've seen one as repulsive as you!
Momoko: ...Nn? ...Gaaaaaa--! We wasted time and now this...
Yachiyo: ...Looks like a lot of other ones are starting to gather here...Let's take care of them all at once...!
Momoko: I know, you don't need to say it!

==================
Ninth Mirror Floor
==================
Iroha: Ria-san decided to come with us instead of Yachiyo-san, who disappeared off somewhere. She always walked ahead of us and dragged us along but...

Ria: ........
Iroha: What's wrong, Ria-san?
Kaede: Are you tired? We've walked a long ways... Should we take a break? After all, we won't last long unless we don't take a break. ...I sort of feel like it's my fault and I've caused a lot of people trouble...uu...
Ria: ...Hold it! That stuff doesn't matter! You there! ...Is no one over there?
Kaede: ...Eh? Where are you... ...Ahhhhh--!!
Rena?: ......
Iroha: ...Rena-chan!?
Kaede: T, There she is! Iroha-chan!
Iroha: Wait! Kaede-chan! Calm down! It might be another fake! We ran into some other ones on our way here, remember?
Kaede: Uu! T, That's right... sorry...I just...
Ria: For now, how about we check to see if it's really her?
Kaede: Y, You're right... Then, hang on... Um~... Rena-chan?

Rena?: .............Yes?
Ria: Well...?
Kaede: ...There isn't a doubt in my mind...this is a fake!
Ria: What's with that confidence!?
Kaede: If it was the real Rena... She would definitely say something like... "Where were you Kaede!? Making Rena wait like this, you're horrible...! You piss her off! You're terrible! Ahh~ Rena's soo mad...!" !
Ria: ...Really?
Iroha: W, Well... something like that, yes...
Ria: ...This girl has quite the friend.
Kaede: Anyway... this Rena-chan...
Rena?: Eh... no way... P, Please don't stare at Rena too much...
Kaede: ...i, is adorable!!
Iroha: Kaede-chan...?
Kaede: I'm sorry, Iroha-chan... Ria-san... Please let me talk to this Rena-chan for just a bit...!
Iroha: Huh? ...S, Sure... (...Her eyes...)
Ria: I don't mind but... (...they're shining a lot...)
Kaede: Thank you very much! I'll be back... Um, Rena-chan.
Rena?: What? Kaede-chan.
Kaede: ...Usually, you're really friendly towards others, Rena-chan...
Rena?: Eh, t, that's not true...
Kaede: The other day, even though you showed up late to hang out with us... you said something like "Rena was late because you picked a difficult spot to meet at!" and you were grumpy for a long time...
Rena?: Did something like that...really happen...
Kaede: Yes it did! I remember! Back then, you were trying to cover up the fact you were late with your temper tantrum, didn't you!
Rena?: I, I'm so sorryyyyy~! Uuuu~!
Kaede: Also you did this too... while you said something like, "Kaede, your cheeks are so jiggly~!" you poke... poked 'em... like...this!
Rena?: K, Kaede-chan...! Please don't poke meee~!
Kaede: You see, I'm pretty fond of... jiggly things! See? ...Poke...fufufu...poke...poke...poke!
Rena?: I, I'm sorrrryyyyy~!
Ria: ...She's taking the opportunity to... This girl has a lot of stuff pent up inside of her, doesn't she?
Iroha: I've never seen Kaede-chan like this before...
Kaede: Fufu...poke...poke...!
Rena?: Please stooooop~!
Kaede: Poke...poke...poke! Fufufu~!

??: "...You look like you're having fun. ...Kaede."
Kaede: Of course I am! ...Nn? ...This voice...

==================
Tenth Mirror Floor
==================
??: "...You look like you're having fun. ...Kaede."
Kaede: Well duh! ...Nn? ...This voice...
Rena: So you've been messing around with Rena's fake...? H~m...?
Kaede: T, The real... Rena-chan!?
Ria: Ehh!?
Iroha: S, Seriously!?
Rena: ...Rena wonders if you'll believe her...?
Kaede: ...U, Um...
Rena: ...fu~... WHERE WERE YOU, KAEDE!? MAKING RENA WAIT LIKE THIS, YOU'RE HORRIBLE...! YOU PISS HER OFF! YOU'RE TERRIBLE! Ahhh~ Rena's sooo mad...!
Kaede: I, It's the real Rena-chan!
Iroha: Just like Kaede-chan said...!
Ria: ...In some ways, that's amazing...
Rena: Besides, what's so fun about poking Rena's cheeks? Huh? Huh?
Kaede: That's, well, you see...! Um...umm...!
Rena: If you do something like that...!
Kaede: I'~m~sor~ry!
Rena: ...Gyaaah!
Rena?: ...You left your back wide open, of course you're gonna pay for it...!
Kaede: ...Wahh!?
Iroha: When did she...!?
Ria: She kept her weapon hidden...!
Rena?: ...Ohh noo~...and here Rena was thinking that Rena could take the opportunity to si~lently pierce~...and stab...stab!...Kaede-chan's belly!
Rena: Ahh~ Rena hates this...the way you talk even though you look like Rena ticks her off!
Kaede: T, Thank you... Rena-chan!
Rena: ...After this, let's have a lo----ng talk...
Kaede: Hya, hyesss~!
Iroha: Rena-chan!
Rena: Iroha...so you were here too.
Iroha: Y, Yeah! And then I ran into Kaede-chan...
Rena: ...And you?
Ria: Me? I'm Kamihama's number one...!
Rena?: Wheee!
Ria: What the~!?
Rena?: Let Rena into your circle too~! Let's hurt each other~!
Iroha: Ria-san! Are you okay?
Ria: I, I'm fine! My beauty does not waver!
Rena: So this person's named Ria...anyway, nice to meet you.
Ria: ...N, Nice to meet you too!
Rena: ...What a weirdo.
Ria: W, what did you say!?
Rena?: Re~na's~try~ing~tooo~saay~! Let Rena in your circle of friends~!
Iroha: She's coming, Rena-chan!
Rena: ...Tch!
Momoko: Hiyaaa!
Rena?: Owwww~ww!
Momoko: ...She's kinda weird. Must be Rena's double!
Yachiyo: Well, thanks to that though, even from a distance, it was obvious that she was a fake.
Iroha: Mo, Momoko-san! And...Yachiyo-san!
Yachiyo: I found her, Kaede. This girl.
Momoko: It was just a coincidence!
Kaede: W, We're all here~! I'm soo relieved~! ...Wait...y, you're the real one, right!?
Rena?: Rena wonders~?
Rena: Shut up!
Yachiyo: ...True...Let's make it clear who's real and who's a fake through a test of strength...how about it?
Momoko: ...Well, that's not a bad idea I guess...the ones who get defeated are fakes, right?
Rena?: Then Rena will call her friends over too~! ...So let's al~l play together here, okay...!?
Ria: ...Then I shall fight as well!
Kaede: ...M, Me too!
Iroha: ...Let's cut through them!

======================
Eleventh Mirror Floor
======================

Rena: ...So...about how you treated that fake... What was that all about, Kaede!?
Kaede: I, I'm sorry! Rena-chan! It was just a little whim or something...
Rena: So you'll poke people on a whim, huh... like this...this! this!
Kaede: S, Stoooop~!
Momoko: C'mon, Rena! Kaede! Knock it off already! You two have been like this all the way back! Sheesh...
Ria: That aside... Nanami Yachiyo!
Yachiyo: What? .......is it?
Ria: Y, You still don't remember my name!? Kiiiii--!!
Mitama: Seems like everyone's gotten back safely~
Iroha: Yes...!

Iroha: Somehow we all managed to find each other in the barrier. And we defeated the fake Rena-chan too, along with other enemies on top of that, and managed to get out of the barrier for now.

Ria: But well, as far as the result is concerned... You all managed to regroup thanks to me!
Rena: ...Why?
Kaede: R, Really...?
Ria: Well, yeah? Because I sent Nanami Yachiyo flying, she managed to meet up with that girl over there!
Yachiyo: ...True. Thanks to you, I got to see something rather interesting too.
Momoko: Gulp!
Rena: Nn~? Something interesting?
Momoko: ...It's nothing! It wasn't really that interesting!
Yachiyo: Oh really?
Momoko: Hey...!
Mitama: That aside, Yachiyo-san, you disappeared? When you were reflected on the mirror.
Iroha: Probably.
Mitama: ...You probably shouldn't worry too much about that anymore.
Yachiyo: ...True.
Kaede: Eh? Why? I think the chances are pretty high...
Mitama: That time it was the right thing to do...but another time, it'll be the wrong thing to do...
Yachiyo: The Mirrors Without End is usually unstable. It's hard to identify what will cause a single occurrence...
Mitama: Actually, the reasons why magical girls have gone missing vary depending on the case...
Yachiyo: One thing is clear...and that one thing is that the mirror floors continue to run and expand forever...that's all.
Iroha: Is that...so...
Momoko: When I first heard that, my jaw dropped too.
Rena: We tried and failed. This time too...right, Kaede?
Kaede: I, I already said I'm sorry~!
Mitama: ...Anyway, there's one word of caution I have for you. ...Ria-san.
Ria: Huh? ...Wh, What...?
Mitama: ...Watch out for those mirrors.
Ria: ...W, What do you mean...
Mitama: ...But only in the Mirror Witch's barrier, okay!
Rena: What's with that~... normally you'd~...
Mitama: Well~, this time you were lucky! Just happened to be, okay?
Yachiyo: That's right, I said it, didn't I? You shouldn't carelessly touch those things...!
Ria: I, I got it... geez! (From now on, I'll carry a hand mirror...!)
Momoko: Now then... I guess we'll get going...
Rena: ...Yeah, we should.
Yachiyo: I'll leave too.
Iroha: Um! Thanks for everything...!
Kaede: Ah, m, me too...! Thank you very much!
Yachiyo: ...Don't wory about it. ...Bye.
Ria: ...Ah! Did you remember my name yet?! Nanami Yachiyo! Wait!
Momoko: ...What was with that person? Ah well... Anyway, let's go too, Rena!
Rena: C'mon, make sure to follow along this time! Lost kid Kaede!
Kaede: That tone of yours~! Ah...s, see you later. Thank you! Iroha-chan!
Iroha: Yeah! See you later!
Mitama: ...Anyway. Are you leaving today too?
Iroha: I guess so... A lot happened, so I'm a bit tired...
Mitama: Is that so... Good work today~!
Iroha: I'll come back again later.
Mitama: My, aren't you enthusiastic?
Iroha: I am curious about this barrier, after all...
Mitama: This place is special after all. I guess you must be interested.
Iroha: ...Well...um... ........
Mitama: ...? ...What's wrong?
Iroha: Not really interested, but more like...I feel like something's...off...
Mitama: ...off?
Iroha: I don't know what for sure. But, the entire time we were in the barrier...I guess something was prickling...deep in my heart...
Mitama: .....
Iroha: ...I guess I...said something weird...didn't I?
Mitama: ...Personally, I welcome anyone willing to go back in with open arms! Anyway, go ahead and go deeper and deeper inside! If you do, then you might understand what's causing that prickling feeling, right~?
Iroha: ...R, Right...
Mitama: ...I have one more word of caution for you, Iroha-chan...
Iroha: ...One more...?
Mitama: ...........If you look into the mirror too much, you can also lose sight of yourself...
Iroha: Eh...?
Mitama: ...There's a saying that goes "curiosity killed the cat". ...Try to keep your search for the truth behind that...prickling feeling in check, okay?
Iroha: Mitama-san...
Mitama: ...Iroha-chan! You just need to defeat the witch!
Iroha: Eh...ah...yes...
Mitama: If you do, that'll put an end to this barrier! ...In other words, everything will work out.
I want to move on to a new business after all~! Doing business here takes quite a bit of work, you see!
Iroha: R, Really...
Mitama: ...Yes so~ today I'm closing up shop, okay? See you again~!
Iroha: Y, Yes...see you...

Iroha: One invitation invited me to "The Mirrors Without End"...It was a mysterious space... it was a really special barrier...no...the word "labyrinth" is more fitting... And this labyrinth connected to my heart...and tempts me to go in deeper...and deeper...Right now, this might be...the first time I've stood in front of a mirror...
