Hanayui no Shou 23-1N

[Hero Club room]

Tak: Thanks to Yuuki-chan's efforts, they're finally coming! Aya-chan's friends are coming!

Anz: We reclaimed a lot of Tokushima's territory and returned more power to Shinju-sama. Isn't that great, Aya-chan?

Aya: Yeah, Anzu-chan! Mebuki-senpai, Suzume-senpai, Shizuku-senpai, SHIZUKU-senpai, Miroku-senpai. I can't wait to see them again!

Kar: Hm? Two of those names sound familiar. Mebuki and Miroku?..

Yuu: What an exciting moment, Tougou-san!

Tou: Yeah. But Yuuna-chan, is your body okay? Your battle with Akamine-san was fierce.

Yuu: It stings a little now and then, but I'm alright. Hello, welcome to the Hero Club!

Aya: Here they come, here they come, here they... come?

Fuu: Huh? Our reinforcements aren't coming. Did they got flung somewhere like Gin?

Gin: Ah! Forestization warning! This is more like back with Tamako-san than with me!

SON: So they got summoned to the Jukai and are encountering the enemy? We have to go save them.

[Jukai]

Chi: Human figures spotted. There's two of them... Huh? Isn't the second one Akamine Yuuna?

Wak: It would be bad if Akamine attacked them right away... But it doesn't look like they're hostile.

Aka: And these are my enemies, Renchi... My bad, you're not Renge, you're her descendant Yumiko.

Yum: My! So these are Vertexes under the guise of human beings, Akamine-san?

Aka: Yeah. And these Vertexes are your friends. So, could you lend me a hand?

Yum: Understood! Akamine and Miroku families are sworn comrades! Well, ladies! I challenge you to a duel!

Sum: Huh!? She's preparing to attack? Did she get tricked? We're your friends and she's the enemy!

Kar: Wait, Miroku-san, is that you? It's me! Miyoshi Karin!

Yum: Silence! My eyes shall not be fooled! Enough idle banter! Duel!
