Puella Historia: Present Day Kamihama

thanks bst, Viruslord, Sforzando, Ashes, Vivi for reviewing

==================

-Prologue-
(by BST / Antimony)

Kagome: "I'm starting to feel uncomfortable... But why...my heart is pounding..."

---

いろは: 『また、本に記録が刻まれていく…』
Iroha: "And so another record will be inscribed in the book…"

いろは: 『これで過去に生きた魔法少女たちのことが@またひとつ、残せるようになったね』
Iroha: "Now we can leave behind another story of the Magical Girls of the past."

うい: ―うい―@これで、たどった時代も６つ目@少しずつ魔法少女の本が増えてきたね
Ui: ―Ui―@That's the sixth era we've recorded! Slowly but surely, we've been adding more books about Magical Girls to our collection.

いろは: ーいろは―@だけど、このペースで集めてると@灯花ちゃんとねむちゃんが倒れちゃうかも
Iroha: ―Iroha―@But if we keep going at this rate, Touka and Nemu might be overwhelmed.

うい: ―うい―@わたしたちは@空からみんなの様子を眺めてるだけで
Ui: ―Ui―@All we do is observe people from above.

うい: ―うい―@みんなの記録が本の中に書かれていくけど
Ui: ―Ui―@Everyone's records get written in these books,

うい: ―うい―@そこから整理するのはふたりだもんね
Ui: ―Ui―@but it's still their job to get them all organized.

いろは: ーいろは―@現代に生きる魔法少女たちの@記録だってまとめないといけないから
Iroha: ―Iroha―@We also have to compile the records of the Magical Girls living in the present,

いろは: ーいろは―@過去を巡るのは@少し控えた方がいいかも
Iroha: ―Iroha―@so we should probably take a break from going into the past for a little while.

userName: ―userName―@モッキュ、モッキュ！
userName: ―userName―@Mokyu, mokyu!

いろは: そうだね、鏡を通って帰ろっか
Iroha: I agree, let's travel back through the mirror.

いろは: …っ!?
Iroha: *Gasp*

いろは: な、何…
Iroha: Wh-what...?

うい: お姉ちゃん！どうしたの!?
Ui: What's wrong, Sis?!

いろは: わからない…@けど、急に…意識が…
Iroha: I don't know…but I can't keep my eyes…open…

うい: お姉ちゃん！
Ui: Iroha!

userName: モッキュイ！@モッキュ、モーッキュ！
userName: Mokyui! Mokyu, mokyu!

うい: そうだね
Ui: Yeah, you're right.

うい: 頑張ってマギアレコードに戻って@この状況を伝えないと…
Ui: We have to hurry back to the Magia Record and tell them what happened…!

うい: 灯花ちゃん…！ねむちゃん…！
Ui: Touka…! Nemu…!

ねむ: 灯花…そんな…@何があったって言うんだ…
Nemu: Oh no, Touka… What's going on…?

かごめ: この世界は奇跡で包まれている
Kagome: This world is shrouded in miracles.

かごめ: 始まりは、ひとりの女の子が@妹を救う祈りを捧げて@魔法少女になる契約を交したこと
Kagome: It all began when a girl made a contract to become a Magical Girl after making a wish to save her sister.

かごめ: その救いを願う想いは@形を変えながら大きくなっていき@今では世界中の魔法少女が魔女になるのを防ぐ@自動浄化システムになった
Kagome: That desire for salvation blossomed and transformed, and has now become an Automatic Purification System that prevents Magical Girls all over the world from becoming Witches.

かごめ: だけど、この奇跡を得た代わりに@私たちの胸には@深い悲しみが刻まれている
Kagome: But in exchange for this miracle, our hearts have been stricken with grief.

かごめ: 多くを救ってくれた"いろは"さんは@代償を払うように魂を削って@この世界から姿を消してしまったから
Kagome: Saving so many people came at the cost of Iroha's soul being eroded away, and her disappearance from this world.

かごめ: それは一緒にみんなを救ってくれた@妹の"うい"ちゃんやuserName@それに"灯花"ちゃんと"ねむ"ちゃんも同じ
Kagome: Along with her went Ui, her sister, as well as userName, Touka, and Nemu, who all worked together to save us.

かごめ: ５人に思いをはせるように@私たちは時折"万年桜のうわさ"を訪れる@なぜかそこからは@"いろは"さんの魔力を感じ取れるから
Kagome: To keep the five of them in our memory, we sometimes visit the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura, and somehow, it feels like we can sense Iroha's magic there…

かごめ: そう、きっと５人は@桜の木の上で@今も空の上から私たちを見守っている
Kagome: Yes, I was sure that the five of them were still with us, up in that cherry blossom tree, watching over us from above.

かごめ: だけど…
Kagome: But then…

かごめ: あっ…
Kagome: Ah…

やちよ: あら、かごめちゃん@こんな所で会うなんて珍しいわね
Yachiyo: Oh, Kagome. What a surprise to see you here.

やちよ: いろはに会いに来たの？
Yachiyo: Have you come to see Iroha?

かごめ: はい…良くない噂を耳にして@心配で様子を見に来たんです…
Kagome: Yes… I heard some worrying rumors that made me want to check…

やちよ: もしかして、自動浄化システムが@正常に動いてない話…？
Yachiyo: You mean the ones regarding the Automatic Purification System malfunctioning?

かごめ: そうです！
Kagome: Yes, those!

かごめ: ドッペルが出ても@浄化されるのが遅いって…
Kagome: When Doppels emerge, purification happens at an alarmingly slow rate…

やちよ: 実は、私も同じ話を聞いて@ここに来てみたの
Yachiyo: I heard the same thing actually, which is why I came here.

やちよ: でも、いろはの魔力を@感じられないわ…
Yachiyo: But I can't sense Iroha's magic anymore…

かごめ: じゃあ、やっぱり何か…！
Kagome: Something really is wrong, then…!

かごめ: きゃっ…！
Kagome: Eek!

やちよ: な…これは…いったい…
Yachiyo: Wh…what's going…?

万年桜のウワサ: ｜やちよ、かごめ｜
Sakurako: ｜Yachiyo, Kagome, you're here.｜

やちよ: あなた、桜子…！
Yachiyo: Sakurako…!

やちよ: 今まで姿を出さないで@どこにいたの…!?
Yachiyo: Where have you been all this time?!

万年桜のウワサ: ｜空の上@いろはたちと一緒にいた｜
Sakurako: | Up above with Iroha and the others. |

やちよ: つまり、ういちゃんや@里見さんに柊さんも一緒…？
Yachiyo: So you were with Ui, Touka, and Nemu, too…?

万年桜のウワサ: ｜そう｜
Sakurako: | Correct. |

やちよ: …みんなは無事？
Yachiyo: …Is everyone alright?

万年桜のウワサ: ｜ううん、問題が起きてる…｜
Sakurako: | Unfortunately, there's been an issue… |

万年桜のウワサ: ｜だから、救いを求めるために@ここに現れた｜
Sakurako: | That's why I came here to ask for help. |

かごめ: やっぱり、@何かあったんですね…！
Kagome: I knew there was something wrong…!

万年桜のウワサ: ｜詳しい話は、この本の中にいる@ねむが説明する｜
Sakurako: | For the details, I will defer to the Nemu inside this book. |

万年桜のウワサの声: ｜ねむ、やっと来てくれたよ｜
Sakurako's Voice:｜Nemu, they're finally here.｜

ねむ: かごめにやちよお姉さん@ふたりが訪れてくれて助かったよ
Nemu: Kagome and Yachiyo― thank goodness you're here.

かごめ: えっえっ…@本からねむちゃんが…
Kagome: Wh-what…? How are you in that book…?

ねむ: 久方振りの挨拶は飛ばして@君達に要件だけを伝える
Nemu: I'll spare you the reunion and skip to what's urgent:

ねむ: [textRed:どうか、いろはお姉さんと]@[textRed:僕達を助けて欲しい]
Nemu: [textRed:Please save Iroha and the rest of us.]

やちよ: ちょっと…！@順を追って説明して…！
Yachiyo: Hang on…! You need to start from the beginning!

やちよ: 自動浄化システムの異変で@何か起きてるのはわかってたわ
Yachiyo: We know there's something wrong with the Automatic Purification System,

やちよ: だけど、いきなり要件だけを@言われても困るわよ
Yachiyo: but you can't just start giving us mandates without explaining things.

ねむ: 僕が性格にも似合わず@焦燥感に駆られている証拠だよ
Nemu: The fact that I of all people skipped to the point should evince the gravity of this situation,

ねむ: ただ、ふたりが言うことも@もっともだからね
Nemu: but still, you have a point.

ねむ: 簡単に経緯を説明するよ
Nemu: I'll give you a brief rundown.

ねむ: 「まず、ふたりが知っている通り@僕達は自動浄化システムの一部として@魔法少女が魔女になるのを防いでいる」
Nemu: "First, to ensure we're all on the same page, the five of us are components of the Automatic Purification System that prevents Magical Girls from becoming Witches."

ねむ: 「実はそれと平行して僕達は@魔法少女たちの記録を集めていたんだ」
Nemu: "In parallel to that, we have also been collecting records of Magical Girls."

ねむ: 「魔法少女の対象が過去にも及んだ結果@記録を編纂する僕や灯花に代わって@担当することになったのは@時を越える鏡を作れるお姉さんだった」
Nemu: "As our scope now extends to Magical Girls in the past as well the present, Iroha is the one now in charge of compiling these records, rather than Touka or myself, since she has the power to create mirrors to travel through time."

ねむ: 「だけど、お姉さんのソウルジェムは@自動浄化システムと繋がっていて@複製はおろか移動させることもできない」
Nemu: "Iroha's Soul Gem, however, is connected to the Automatic Purification System and cannot be moved, let alone duplicated."

ねむ: 「そこで僕達は、ソウルジェムを空間ごと@持ち運べる"魂の器"を作り出して@過去と現代の往来を可能な状態にしたんだ」
Nemu: "As a workaround, we created a tool called a Soul Vessel that can transport the Soul Gem through space, making it possible to travel back and forth between the past and present."

ねむ: 「要はワープした先にソウルジェムを置いて@そこに接続されたゲートを持ち運べば@魂と肉体の距離を誤魔化せると考えたんだ」
Nemu: "In short, we theorized that if we placed Iroha's Soul Gem at the warp point and carried a gate connected to it, we could mask the distance between her body and soul."

ねむ: 「だけど、思いも寄らぬ事態が起きた…」
Nemu: "But something unexpected occurred."

ねむ: 「お姉さんは６回目の旅を終えて戻ってくると@途端に意識を失って倒れてしまったんだ」
Nemu: "Upon returning from her sixth trip, Iroha immediately fell unconscious and collapsed."

ねむ: 「これは僕の憶測でしかないけど@現在に魂を置いて過去で行動するという捻れが@環いろはという概念を不安定にさせてしまい@少しずつ崩れてしまったんだと思う」
Nemu: "This is just me speculating, but I think the workaround of keeping Iroha's soul in the present while she operated in the past slowly destabilized the concept of her existence, and caused it to fragment."

やちよ: ――っ!?
Yachiyo: *Gasp*

やちよ: まさか、自動浄化システムが@不安定なのはその影響で!?
Yachiyo: Is that why the Automatic Purification System has become unstable?!

ねむ: そう、お姉さんが消滅すれば@自動浄化システムも消滅する…！
Nemu: Correct― and if Iroha disappears, the Automatic Purification System will do so as well!

ねむ: [textRed:だから皆で、お姉さんの概念を]@[textRed:回収してきて欲しいんだ…！]
Nemu: [textRed:So I need you all to help us by traveling through time and retrieving Iroha's concept!]

かごめ: これ、ショックを受けてるような@場合じゃありません…！
Kagome: This isn't the time for us to sit around in shock…!

やちよ: ええ…
Yachiyo: Right…

やちよ: 急いでユニオンのメンバーに@連絡をとるわ
Yachiyo: I'll contact the members of the Union right away.

かごめ: 私、アルちゃんたちに@神浜市を巡ってもらいつつ
Kagome: And I'll send Aru around Kamihama…

かごめ: 他のグループのみんなにも@連絡をとりますね…！
Kagome: …while I reach out to the other groups…!

ひめな: マジ…？
Himena: For real…?

ひめな: いろりんの概念が崩れてって@ヤバみが深すぎるんだけど…
Himena: So basically it's like, the whole concept of Iroha's existence is falling apart and she's in some serious shit…

ラビ: 自動浄化システムと一緒に@環さんも消滅するなんて…
Rabi: To think she and the Automatic Purification System could both disappear…

静香: 崩れた概念を集める@必要があるのはわかったけど
Shizuka: I understand that we need to gather up the fragments of her concept,

静香: マギアレコードにいる@他のみんなは大丈夫なの…？
Shizuka: but will everyone else in the Magia Record be alright…?

結菜: えぇ、あなたの本体や@ういちゃんの状態も気になるわぁ
Yuna: Right. I'm concerned about your substantiality, and Ui's condition as well.

万年桜のウワサ: ｜今、この万年桜のうわさは@マギアレコードの中と同じ状態｜
Sakurako: ｜The Rumor of the Eternal Sakura and the Magia Record are in the same state.｜

万年桜のウワサ: ｜みんなには見えていないけど@いろはたちはここにいる｜
Sakurako: ｜So even though Iroha and the others can't be seen, they're all still here.｜

フェリシア: [chara:100501:effect_emotion_surprise_0][se:7226_shock]うっそだろ…!?@みんなここにいんのかよ！
Felicia: [chara:100501:effect_emotion_surprise_0][se:7226_shock]Holy crap! They're all right here?!

鶴乃: いろはちゃんのソウルジェムを@持ち運びできるようにした
Tsuruno: It sounds like you're using the same mechanism as the Soul Vessel…

鶴乃: 空間を持ち運ぶ魂の器と@同じ仕組みだね
Tsuruno: …that was being used to carry Iroha's Soul Gem through space.

さな: 空の上にも万年桜のうわさと@同じものが存在してる…？
Sana: You mean Iroha's domain and the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura are one and the same?

鶴乃: だと思う
Tsuruno: Yeah, that's my understanding.

ねむ: その通り、魂の器と同じ仕組みで@ここにはみんなが存在している
Nemu: You're exactly right. Everyone is able to exist here via the same mechanism as the Soul Vessel.

ねむ: 「魂の器がある所には@ちょうどお姉さんが眠り続けていて@灯花も一緒に横たわっている」
Nemu: "Right where that Soul Vessel lies is where Iroha sleeps. Touka is lying right beside her."

ねむ: 「灯花はお姉さんと紐付くウワサだから@影響を受けたのかもしれない…」
Nemu: "Perhaps Touka was affected because her Rumor is bound to Iroha."

ねむ: 「僕の本体はと言えば@ういに紐付くウワサだから平気だけど@回収されるエネルギーや記録をさばくために@ずっと動きまわっている状態だ」
Nemu: "My body, on the other hand, is still fine because its Rumor is bound to Ui. But due to the energy needed to be recovered and the records we must maintain, it's in a constant state of flux."

ねむ: 「それもあって、[textBlue:うわさ]を使ってまで@僕の分身を作って話しかけているんだよ」
Nemu: "Hence why I created a [textBlue:Rumor] to create this alter-ego so I could speak with you."

やちよ: それで、ういちゃんは…？
Yachiyo: And what about Ui?

ねむ: 「お姉さんの魂の器に手を添えて@みんなが過去に行くのを待っているよ@"回収"をサポートするためにね」
Nemu: "Ui is waiting on standby with Iroha's Soul Vessel. Once people start traveling back in time, she'll be managing the retrieval process."

かごめ: ういちゃんの"回収"で@いろはさんの概念を集めるの…？
Kagome: So Ui's gathering magic will be retrieving Iroha's concept…?

ねむ: 明察だよ
Nemu: Very astute.

ねむ: 「ういが手を添えている魂の器は@この空っぽの魂の器と繋がっていて@お姉さんの概念を感知すると@自動的に回収するようになっている」
Nemu: "The Soul Vessel Ui is holding onto is connected to this empty one here. When it senses the concept of our big sister, it will automatically retrieve it."

ねむ: 「だから君達には、これを持って@お姉さんが巡った６つの時代をなぞるように@たどって欲しい」
Nemu: "So I want each of you to take it and trace through the six eras that she went through."

ねむ: 「そうすれば、歴史の改編など@タイムパラドクスが起きることをしない限り@同じような時間をたどるだけで@お姉さんの概念を捜さずとも回収されるからね」
Nemu: "That way, as long as you don't cause a paradox which causes history to reorganize, you can simply follow the flow of time and retrieve her concept without actively searching for it."

結菜: …状況も、目的も、方法も@ひとまず理解はできたわぁ
Yuna: …I understand the situation, purpose, and method of this plan for now.

静香: 私たちが旅に出る準備は@済んでるなんて、抜け目がないわ
Shizuka: Preparing for our trip in advance was so smart!

ねむ: あとは協力してくれる人たちに@この鏡をくぐってもらうだけ
Nemu: All we need now are people who are willing to go through these mirrors.

ねむ: 「僕達の責任で起きたことだから@恐縮することしかできない…」
Nemu: "I can only ask for forgiveness, because what happened was my fault…"

ねむ: 「こんな事態に巻き込んでしまって@皆には頭が上がらないけど」
Nemu: "I'm sorry I got everyone into this mess, but…"

ねむ: 「どうか僕達に代わって@お姉さんを助けて欲しい」
Nemu: "Please help us save our big sister."

ラビ: 私たちは、環さんやあなたたちに@日々救われているから
Rabi: Of course. After all, every day we're being saved by Iroha and the others.

ひめな: そうそう、こういう時ぐらいは@恩返しって考えた方がいいでしょ
Himena: That's right, at times like this we should be giving back.

ひめな: キャハッ★
Himena: Kyahaha★

結菜: とりあえず、もうすぐ樹里たちも@到着すると思うから
Yuna: Anyways, I think Juri and the others will be arriving soon.

結菜: 準備が整い次第@過去へ向かうことにするわぁ
Yuna: I'll head to the past as soon as I'm ready.

結菜: 少々説明に@骨が折れそうだけどねぇ
Yuna: This is going to take a while to explain…

静香: あ、そういえば！@言葉とか色々と大丈夫かしら…？
Shizuka: Oh, by the way! Will we be able to understand people's languages…?

静香: 私なんて現代でも@困ることがいっぱいあるのに…
Shizuka: I have so many problems with just modern words…

ねむ: ６つの時代毎に本があるから@それを持って行って欲しい
Nemu: I have a book for each of the six eras I'll be sending you to.

ねむ: 中には僕と同じ分身が宿っていて@言語の補助や時代解説をするよ
Nemu: Inside each is my alter-ego who will translate the language and explain the historical period.

ねむ: ちなみに佐鳥かごめに憑いている@風の伝道師のウワサと同じく
Nemu: By the way, it works in a similar vein to Rumor of the Wind Evangelist that possesses Kagome Satori,

ねむ: 相手に好印象を持たれるような@力も発揮されるはずだから
Nemu:  in that it will give you the power to make good first impressions on people.

ねむ: 相手に敵対されるような状況は@減らせると思うよ
Nemu: I think this can help reduce situations where other people are hostile to you.

静香: それがわかっただけでも@少し心に余裕が出たわ
Shizuka: Just knowing that gives me some peace of mind.

フェリシア: じゃ、みかづき荘はそろってるし@さっそく過去に行こうぜ！
Felicia: Okay then! Everything's all set, so let's send Mikazuki Villa back in time!

やちよ: 待って
Yachiyo: Hang on.

フェリシア: あ？
Felicia: Huh?

やちよ: ねえ、柊さん
Yachiyo: Hey, Nemu.

ねむ: 何かな？
Nemu: What is it?

やちよ: いろはの肉体は大丈夫なの？
Yachiyo: Is Iroha's body holding up okay?

ねむ: …僕達も手一杯で@そこまで手が回ってないんだ
Nemu: …We're already doing all we can.

やちよ: 見えていないけど@私の魔力で支えられる…？
Yachiyo: While I can't see her, can I still support her with my magic?

ねむ: 恐らくとしか言えないけど@無駄にはならないと思うよ
Nemu: It's only a conjecture, but it would be foolish not to try.

やちよ: …じゃあ、私はこの場に残って@いろはを魔力で支えるわ
Yachiyo: …Well, then I'll stay here and support Iroha with my magic.

フェリシア: …………[wait:1.2][chara:100501:cheek_0][chara:100501:face_mtn_ex_010.exp3.json][chara:100501:motion_200][chara:100501:lipSynch_1]んじゃオレも
Felicia: …[wait:1.2][chara:100501:cheek_0][chara:100501:face_mtn_ex_010.exp3.json][chara:100501:motion_200][chara:100501:lipSynch_1]I guess I'll see ya later.

鶴乃: えっ、いいの？@真っ先に飛び込もうとしてたのに
Tsuruno: Huh, are you sure? I was positive you'd want to jump in headfirst.

フェリシア: 頭のいい鶴乃と@隠れられるさなの方がいいだろ
Felicia: You're really smart and Sana is the best at hiding.

フェリシア: オレだと迷惑かけるかも@しれねーからな
Felicia: If I went, I'd probably just get you into trouble!

鶴乃: おぉ、なんかフェリシアが@ひとつ大人になってる…
Tsuruno: Wow, Felicia's starting to get more mature…

鶴乃: そういうことなら@わたしたちふたりで！
Tsuruno: In that case, the two of us will do it!

さな: はい、行ってきますね…！
Sana: Okay, then we're off..!

ねむ: じゃあ、みんなお願いするよ
Nemu: Yes, I'll see you on the other side.

万年桜のウワサ: ｜残って良かったの？｜
Sakurako: ｜Are you sure you want to stay behind?｜

やちよ: 現代でも動ける人がいないと
Yachiyo: We still need people to act in the present.

やちよ: 私は私にできることをするわ
Yachiyo: I'll do what I can to help.

========================

-STORY 1-

Kanagi: "I was in a rush as well. You wouldn't find it funny if you had no time to change clothes either."

---

Aru-chan
<Everyone, it's real bad!>
<If you got Kagome-chan's message, then hurry!>
<The meeting place is the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura!>
<The Automatic Purification System and Iroha-san are in a big pinch!>

---

Kanagi
..Is the gist of the telepathic messages
Satori-kun's mandragora was circulating.
So I had my manager give me some time off, which I used to assemble the east Mahou Shoujo.

Karin
I contacted everyone I could as I ran here too!

Asuka
As have I, though everyone else has been as confused as I am...

Kanagi
It's no surprise, seeing as in order to save us,
they would erase their very beings and become hidden.

Kagome
Still, I'm surprised at how fast everyone got here...
There's still more on the way, but there's already at least 20 people here...!

Mifuyu
Even when things are in disarray, we'll still gather together for them.
Iroha-san, Ui-san, and Touka and Nemu,
it's because of them that we are blessed every day.

Tsukuyo
First things first, we would like to hear the details -

Tsukasa
Because we want to know what we can do.

Tsukuyo & Tsukasa
Nee-

Yachiyo
In that case, Hiiragi-san should be able to give a detailed explanation.

Mifuyu
Nemu...can?

Nemu
It has been a while, Mifuyu.

Mifuyu
Wha-!?
Wait, Nemu! What is this, this form you're in!?

Nemu
I will explain that in due time.

Asuka
What are Yachiyo-san and Felicia-san holding onto?
A soul gem...?

Felicia
Can't ya see? We're protectin' Iroha's body!

Asuka
No, what is there to see!? There's no Iroha-san here...

Felicia
Ah, right.
Ya can't see her, but she's here. We're givin' her our magic.

Yachiyo
Yes, to preserve her body...

Karin
I noticed there's something odd about the Rumor of the Ten Thousand Year Sakura too...

Yachiyo
I know there's a lot of things on everyone's minds,
so first of all, try to remain calm, and then listen to what we have to say.

---

Kanagi
Hm...I've got a grasp on the situation...

Karin
I came here because I got a message from Kaede-chan,
but I never thought I would hear that Minami-senpai and Togame-senpai went back in time together with her...

Kanagi
Don't let yourself be discouraged, Artist. This is a situation we cannot afford to rush.
Rather, the issue is what do those of us remaining in the present do.

Mifuyu
Is there not still an option left we can follow?

Kanagi
Mm...?
...As in go to the past ourselves to stop Tamaki-kun from falling?
No...that wouldn't be just recovering her concept, but altering the past...

Mifuyu
Right, so all we need to do is destroy the mirrors.

Tsukuyo
I think I understand.
If these mirrors are created using the same power as the Mirrors Witch...

Mifuyu
Yes, unless the person who made the mirrors themselves confirms it,
there should be no changes to the past.

Tsukasa
You mean if we break the mirrors, Tamaki-san's state'll just reset!?

Tsukuyo
And we will have a happy ending in no time!

Tsukuyo & Tsukasa
Nee-!

Kanagi
It's odd, though.
It would surprise me if Hiiragi-kun hadn't already considered such an idea...

Nemu
You are correct. And I judged it to be a difficult prospect.
When her concept spilled out into the past, the Onee-san of the present fell.
Such a thing influencing the present, totally irrespective of confirmation,
would be unprecedented. Thus, I concluded breaking the mirrors to be too risky.

Mifuyu
Uu, is that so...

Yachiyo
But, just like what Mifuyu came up with on her own, there is something we can all do.

Mifuyu
Yacchan, do you have an idea...?

Yachiyo
It's why I stayed in the present until everyone gathered.
It may sound far-fetched, but if everyone were to give me...
...!

Felicia
O-oi! Yachiyo!?
What...the...

Tsukuyo
What has happened to the two of them...!?

Tsukasa
Tsu-Tsukuyo-chan - this!

Nemu
They have exhausted too much magic...
I see...
Onee-san, Ui, and Touka cover the planet with the automatic purification system themselves...
Perhaps the magical energy necessary to sustain that is too great...

Hinano
And that's where we come in, standing around with free hands.

Nanaka
Right.
Until everyone who went to the past returns to us, it's necessary to support Tamaki-san.

Shizuku
For Iroha-chan, and for everyone she's saved...

Hinano
If we run this in shifts, we'll make it work somehow.

???
["What now, everyone gettin' along all nice and fallin' together in one big show?"]
["Y'all leave things ta us and there ain't a problem."]

Yozuru
Yes, handling magic power is our specialty.

Sudachi
Fumunmumu. Funmuu fumun fumunmu.

Yozuru
We are the adjusters after all, as Sudachi says.

Kagome
Puella Care! You came here too!?

Livia
Jus' the right time too it seems.

Mikage
All cause Mii knew Sutan was in the next town over,
so I gave her the message!

Nayuta
And then we invited Mitama-san as well, so she is accompanying us.

Kagome
Thank you so much! But will you all be able to endure it...?

Mitama
I don't think we can handle it for long, the same as everyone else...
But, with Grief Seeds, we can keep it going while we get purified.
This is as good a time as any for the adjuster shop to use some stock, right?

Livia
Well then, let's get this show on the road.

Mitama
Ready, Sensei.

===============

-STORY 2-
Mitama: "This...may be more draining than we thought it would be..."

Livia
Huu...
Sure as they said, just preservin' her body's takin' a huge toll on the magic...

Felicia
Mm...u...

Livia
Oh, looks like ya figured that out yourself.

Mitama
Yachiyo-san, are you okay...?

Yachiyo
Uu... That was my fault, Mitama...
Just from us purifying her...

Mitama
Despite how skilled we are at handling power, it's exhausting even for us adjusters,
so there's no need to apologize.

Yachiyo
I see, so it's tough even for the four of you...

Mitama
I thought that we, the experts at controlling magical power,
could take care of this with minimal magic consumption, but...
Rather, I feel like I should apologize on our behalf. I'm sorry we got here so late...

Mikage
But Nee-cha, you were helping other girls with adjustments, so you didn't have a choice...!

Nemu
We are more than happy just to have an adjuster here.
However, no matter how many Grief Seeds you adjusters have obtained,
under the current circumstances, it is only a matter of time before we hit rock bottom.

Yozuru
Yes, we still have a surplus, but the consumption is much more extreme than we thought.

Mikage
Maybe we should go look for Witches and collect Grief Seeds...

Emiri
Then it's our time to shine now!

Hinano
Yeah, a little field trip to hunt some Witches sounds good to me.

Ria
But we don't make it a habit to go around fighting Witches for show.
If we go out searching, we may not find any.

Manaka
Mmm...we can't just let them roam free causing trouble either, though.

Mito
BUT! We're the ones who still try our best!

Reira
Mito, well said!
We can't give up from the start, can we!

Seika
Yeah...!

Ayaka
Hokay, let's all get ready to strike out on a Witch smoke ooout!

Yachiyo's Voice
Wait!

Ayaka
Ohwaah-!

Yachiyo
I want to try something before that.
Hiiragi-san,
there was a vessel for collecting Iroha's concept, right?

Nemu
The present portion is still needed.

Yachiyo
So Iroha's concept isn't being collected through us?

Mifuyu
――っ!?
Oh no. Yacchan,
earlier you said you had a reason to stay here...

Nemu
I see...
The Mahou Shoujo here, they are the ones Onee-san erased herself to save.
Meaning, if everyone were here, there would be a possibility to recover her concept...

Yachiyo
Just the Mahou Shoujo here should be more than half of the girls involved.

Kanagi
If we include the present, Tamaki-kun's entire concept is here...
So you envisioned a future where Tamaki-kun would revive, Nanami?

Yachiyo
I did...
I felt her. Iroha's presence in myself - and in everyone - clear as day.
But with no way to collect her concept, I didn't know what to do.
When I heard that Iroha's concept was recovered from the past,
I realized there is even a one in a million chance to recover it in the present.
So please, Hiiragi-san,
confirm that Iroha's concept is being collected.

Nemu
.....
You have made your feelings apparent, Yachiyo Onee-san.
Unfortunately, however, there is no sign of recovery in the present.
All I can confirm is the portion recovered from the past...

Kanagi
Nanami's hopes were dashed too, then...

Yachiyo
No, not yet.

Felicia
Hell yeah! We don't know for sure yet!

Yachiyo
You're awake!?

Felicia
Yeah, just got up!
If Iroha's whatchamacallit ain't sticking to everyone,
then we gotta go look for it somewhere else!
Y'know, like when we fought the Mirrors Witch!
Cause there ain't no doubt Iroha's still here, right!?

Yachiyo
Yeah, it's just as you say.
Even if she isn't "here", Iroha's concept always will be.
So, with the soul vessel in hand to collect,
our next step is to find her concept while hunting Witches.

Livia
Speakin' of Mirrors Witch, y'all ought to look into Sena Mikoto as well.

Sudachi
Funmumu, funmuu fumunmu. Fumunfumunmu, fumun mu.

Yozuru
As Sudachi says, she resides within Tamaki-sama.
That is the feeling that flows into me when I am in contact with her as well.

Livia
I ain't positive what it is, but it's like she made some kinda grand promise
to save Mahou Shoujo in the past or somethin'...

Mitama
As in she's impatient that it can't be done, turning back into an enemy?

Livia
Can only wonder.
But there ain't nothin' stranger than Sena Mikoto,
so check into her all the same.

Nemu
Sakurako.

Sakurako
| What, Nemu? |

Nemu
Can you retrieve Sena Mikoto's book?

Sakurako
| Is it in the Magia Record? |

Nemu
I imagine it is a little difficult to search for, but you can ask the me above.

Sakurako
| Okay, then I am off. |

Kanagi
Well then, Nanami, let us go find a Witch.

Mifuyu
Felicia-san, are you able to move as well?

Felicia
Yeah! Let me at 'em! Let's get goin', Yachiyo!

Yachiyo
Right...
We will find you... Iroha...

-STORY 3-

Kagome: "Everyone is working for Iroha-san's sake. And yet, I..."

Kagome
Everyone went off to hunt for Witches, but I wonder if they'll find any...

Mitama
They're going to need more than a little field trip to find what we need.
The adjuster shop's grief seed supply is running low here...

Livia
Not ta mention we're puttin' our bodies on the line for Iroha-chan.
This ain't worth it if we're not all pushin' ourselves.

Kagome
Our bodies on the line...you say...
You're right.
Even with adjustment, fighting a Witch is a life-or-death situation...

Mitama
Let me guess, Kagome-chan,
you feel like you're the only one who has it easy?

Kagome
Eh-...!? Ah, yeah...you hit the nail on the head...

Mitama
You and Aru-chan gathered everyone here, didn't you?

Kagome
But is that really enough...?

Mitama
Yeah, of course it is.

Nemu
And there is no need to worry, as Satori Kagome's role still remains.

Kagome
Eh-?

Sakurako
| Nemu, I brought it. |
| The Nemu in the sky gave me Sena Mikoto's book. |

Nemu
Thank you, Sakurako. This will make further explanation much easier.

Kagome
Does this book have something to do with my role?

Nemu
Indeed it does.
To be direct, the question of whether there is a record of Sena Mikoto betraying Onee-san or not -
I would like you to search through her book.

Sakurako
| If that is all, I could do it. |
| If the record is within the book, then would it not be able to tell me? |

Nemu
If you open the book, then it will show itself just as it did with me,
and the records do not lie.
But even so, Satori Kagome's power may be necessary.

Kagome
My...power...?

Nemu
If you would open the book, you will understand immediately.

Kagome
Then...
...Huh?
Hu-...n-...
Nnnnn...!
It won't open...
...!

Nemu
Are you okay?

Kagome
I'm being rejected for some reason...?

Yozuru
Something flows from Tamaki Iroha when you touch it for some reason.

Sudachi
Fumumumu, fumunmumu funmumu, fumumun.

Yozuru
Yes, it has become locked tight, as if she has closed her heart to everyone.

Nemu
She likely has no desire to exchange words with anyone other than Alina and Onee-san.
A development I had already expected.

Livia
So, Kagome-chan's special ability...?

Nemu
Yes, I would like you to use your power of information gathering to extract them from the book,
"her thoughts and feelings about Onee-san."

Kagome
――っ!?

Aru-chan
<Can we do it?>

Kagome
I don't know, but I think we should try...

Aru-chan
<But this is Sena Mikoto, remember? There's no telling what could happen...>

Kagome
But this is the only way I can think of to put my own body on the line...
I'm prepared to give it a try...!

Nemu
I am in your debt, Satori Kagome.

Kagome
Huu...
.....
(Let me push my way into this book...)
[Something...is coming...]
[Uu...what...is this...]
[I can't look too deeply...]
[If I peek...I'll be overwhelmed...]
[I need to find...Iroha-san...]
[There...!]
[Eh...this is...]
[Kyaaaaaa-!!]

Kagome
Eh...where am...
Sena...Mikoto-san?

Mikoto
Nhuhu - Do not be afraid.
I am just a record, powered by the Magia Record.
All I did was intervene with your consciousness as you used magic to spy in here.

Kagome
That's...

Mikoto
Alright, will you stop peeping around inside me so unscrupulously?
Otherwise, I'll...
I can't kill you. But I want to kill you.

Kagome
...Ah, I'm so sorry.

Mikoto
Just spit it out. What do you want to know?

Kagome
Ah...Umm...
You see, Iroha-san collapsed, and I wanted to know if it was because of you,
and then find out if you did anything to her...

Mikoto
I haven't done anything. Does that satisfy you?

Kagome
.....

Mikoto
You can look at me with doubt all you want... A record cannot tell a lie.

Kagome
...Then please elaborate a little more.

Mikoto
Tamaki Iroha has taken on the promise to save Mahou Shoujo of the past and future.
And because I believe she can fulfill that ridiculous promise,
I am lending her my power and watching the course of events - that is until we reach the end.

Kagome
...Can I trust you?

Mikoto
There is nothing within my record that contradicts that.

Kagome
I understand. Thank you very much...!
Um... I won't be so reckless the next time I peek...
So I would be happy if you could inform me in a nicer way next time...

Mikoto
Then get along with the real me inside of Tamaki Iroha.
I am merely a record of time thus far, and will forget this event too.
...But, I will tell you one thing as an apology for scaring you.

Kagome
Eh-

Mikoto
Has everyone noticed the Witch beside them?

Kagome
――っ!?
What do you mean!?

Mikoto
How nostalgic... How many times have I felt that Witch's presence...

-STORY 4-
Yachiyo: "If this is where Iroha disappeared, we may be able to recover her concept."

Yachiyo
.....

Felicia
Well!?
We bagged Iroha's thingy for sure this time, right!?

Yachiyo
...No, it doesn't seem we did.

Felicia
Ohh, seriously...
This's where she fought the Mirror Witch, so I thought for friggin' sure this'd do it...

Kanagi
The scraps of Tamaki-kun's concept already disappeared here...?

Yachiyo
Even if it has, she has to be here somewhere!
Because I felt her, right beside everyone...!

Kanagi
Calm yourself, Nanami.

Yachiyo
…っ
Even if it was her decision, I should have been the one sacrificed...
If only I had some incredible power...
Then Iroha and Ui-chan may not have disappeared...

Felicia
――っ!?
I-it's too late to be sayin' crap like that now.
'Sides, Iroha's the only one who can get powers like that.

Yachiyo
I know that too... But I feel like there's a way...
No... There "should be" a way...

Felicia
Uu...

Kanagi
Hm...
It's futile to discuss the possibilities of the impossible.
Let's think about what we can do now.
I intend on turning around to prepare meals to provide for the long haul,
but what will all of you do?

Tsukuyo
Ah, I also made plans to prepare onigiri at Tsukasa-chan's home.

Tsukasa
Nee!

Reira
We managed to collect a few Grief Seeds...
So shall we head back to the apartment complex?

Seika
Yeah, as Kanagi-san said, this may end up being drawn out...

Mito
I'm gonna need to come up with an excuse for Okaa-san to stay up late, aren't I?

Felicia
Aight, then we'll head back with the Grief Seeds.

Yachiyo
That we will.
I'm sorry, I lost my composure for a minute.

Kanagi
Think nothing of it. I know how you feel.

---

Felicia
We're baaack!

Yachiyo
It's only a few, but we managed to obtain some Grief Seeds.

Nemu
Welcome back, and my thanks. What happened to the rest of your party?

Yachiyo
Kanagi and the rest left to prepare meals for the long haul.
How are things?

Nemu
Satori Kagome is currently listening to Sena Mikoto...

Kagome
EVERYONE, DANGER!

Nemu
Wah-...

Kagome
Haa...haa...

Nemu
Immediate extreme panic the moment you rise...

Kagome
Because there's a Witch nearby!

Yachiyo
A Witch...?

Kagome
Here...at the Rumor of the 10,000 Year Sakura, there's the presence of a Witch.
Mikoto-san told me so!

Yachiyo
――っ!?

Felicia
Nn?
With us all here, how'd no one notice?

Kagome
But she felt a Witch's presence...

Livia
Hold a second!
We're stuck takin' care of Iroha-chan over here!
If it's gotta be beaten, y'all do something about it for us!

Kagome
Y-yeees!

Yachiyo
That being said, there isn't the slightest sign of a Witch...

Felicia
Yeah...ain't feelin' a thing...

Mitama
Wait, it's faint, but I think I feel it...

Yozuru
Yes, only after concentrating on searching for it did I sense the Witch's very faint reaction...

Sudachi
Fumu, funmumu fumu.

Yozuru
Sudachi's experience is similar...

Mitama
.....
――っ!?
Yachiyo-san, cut the space to your right!

Yachiyo
HAA!!
...No way, it's true!

Kagome
Let's go defeat it! I'll help you!

---

Yachiyo
Huu...

Nemu
Was there a Witch...?

Felicia
Nyah, just a Familiar.

Nemu
Regardless, I cannot fathom how we failed to notice it...

Felicia
That Familiar we fought's just one of them little guys we see all the time.

Nemu
You mean it was something we have fought previously?

Felicia
Yeah.
Ya know them magical chunks Mitama uses when she adjusts you?
Them thingies that drop all the time from those guys?

Mitama
No, it couldn't be.... The reason we didn't notice...

Livia
No way no how. I'm thinkin' the same thing.

Felicia
W-what is it...

Mitama
Those magic pieces we adjusters use to raise everyone's magic power...
If we've become so used to them...

Livia
Yer right...
We may not be able ta notice the magic reactions comin' from that particular Witch...

Yachiyo
Oh no...
Kyaa..!

Felicia
Oi, lookit!

Nemu
Onee-san's dissipated concept has returned...!

Kagome
Does that mean that Familiar was carrying it!?

Yachiyo
If so...
The reason why I couldn't collect Iroha's concept from everyone,
nor collect it at the lake where the Mirror Witch was fought...
All of it...

Nemu
May have been stolen away somewhere we have no knowledge of...

-STORY 5-

Felicia: "Seriously... That's Iroha's concept that went into the soul vessel, ain't it...?"

Mitama
To think a familiar had Iroha-chan's concept...

Livia
And ta get this close without us noticin',
it likely snatched her up before anyone woulda realized...

Sudachi
Fumummu, fumunmumu. Funmuumumu funmumu...?

Yozuru
By what was said moments ago, we adjusters may be the ones responsible for that, yes.

Nemu
There was no telling that what you use to strengthen magic would have this kind of impact.
As such, to claim responsibility is ridiculous.

Yachiyo
Now that we have a target to aim for, we can make progress towards getting Iroha's concept.

Felicia
C'mon, let's hurry 'n go hunt that familiar we saw earlier!
Couldn't it have more of Iroha's concepts!?

Kagome
Yes, I'm sure it does.
But if we're going to challenge the Witch, we can't be careless...!

Nemu
Do you happen to still be listening in on Sena Mikoto...?

Kagome
Yes...

Nemu
I would like to hear the details...

Kagome
.....
["As it turns out, the familiar we just defeated has existed since ancient times..."]
["Its parent Witch has also existed for ages, with countless offshoot Witches spreading and multiplying all throughout the world, including Japan..."]
["But that wasn't possible through some immense power, but rather the Witch's unique ability..."]
["It's hard to believe, but... It seems the parent Witch can create her own offshoot Witches separate from actual offshoots, even controlling them..."]
["And can leap through time on top of that..."]

Nemu
Wha...
You don't have to be Touka to know that is utterly inconceivable...
You mean to tell me it can freely control itself from one, even 10 years ago...?

Kagome
Yes...
["It's like the Witch is repeating the puzzles of the past over and over again to gain the power to survive."]
["However, because the power to interfere with time continuously drains her strength, despite having survived and multiplied all the way to the present time, she doesn't have the strength to alter history."]

Nemu
Even so, mass producing Familiars and offshoots,
seeking the power to survive, it's all too unsettling.

Kagome
Yes, from ancient times to the present day...it feels like an obsession to leave one's self behind...

Felicia
Hurry up an' smash it!
There's some Witch givin' orders to those Familiars, ain't there!?

Kagome
Then they're not only here in Kamihama City... But beneath Mizuna Castle too...!
Rooted there since the Sengoku period,
it devoured Mizuna Tsuyu's Witch that Chizuru was unable to defeat.
It must still be building up strength even now...!

*
かごめ: それなら、この神浜市に… それも水名城の下にいます…！
かごめ: 戦国時代から根を張って
かごめ: 千鶴が倒しきれなかった 水名露の魔女を食らい
かごめ: 今も力を蓄えているはずです…！
* (double check)

Yachiyo
...Get to Mizuna Castle - now!
Kagome-chan, you understand the Witch's true power?
If she's interfering with time, the moment she stops is when she'll be in her prime.

Kagome
For the time being that doesn't seem to be the case.

Yachiyo
Guess we'll have to take her on and find out then...

Felicia
Who cares about all that.
All we gotta do is kablam slam 'em down an' get all the concepts!

Yachiyo
Bull rushing right in is fine, but carelessness is our biggest enemy.

Mitama
We'll continue to sustain Iroha-chan,
so we leave the concept up to you guys.

Nemu
I will be waiting here to welcome all of you back.

Yachiyo
Right, if it's Mizuna then other Mahou Shoujo will be around,
so I'll try calling out to everyone I can.

Nemu
Would you be willing to take Sakurako with you as my stand-in for your team?

Sakurako
| I heard the discussions. You are going to save Iroha, correct? |

Yachiyo
You'll lend us your strength?

Sakurako
| If it is for the four, of course. |

---

Felicia
Oi, this's Iroha's concept, right!?

Sakurako
| Just as Kagome said. |
| If this Witch is defeated, Iroha will come back? |

Yachiyo
That's right, but watch out...
We were told she would be weak, but not one we can take our time playing around with.

---

Nemu
It seems everyone who departed has returned.

Yachiyo: "You're going to give back what you stole! I won't let you do what you want with Iroha!"

Felicia
Huu...huu...
...-ce!
We...we did it...!

Yachiyo
The power to continuously interfere with time... We had to go all out to stop it...

Kagome
Sakurako-chan, thank you for helping too.

Sakurako
| No need, I just want Iroha back. |

Felicia
How's the soul vessel thingy!? Is Iroha comin' back!?

Kagome
...There isn't really any reaction.
――っ!?
No, she has...come back...

Felicia
Woah...it's hella bright now compared to when the familiar had 'em...

Yachiyo
The concept...the concept of Iroha she whittled away in the present to save us,
it's returned to us, right...?

[～～♪～～♪]

Yachiyo
It's Momoko...!

---

Momoko
We're back, Yachiyo-san. Back from the past, safe and sound.
We got Iroha's concept here no problem, so don't worry.

Yachiyo
Excellent work...and thank you... I imagine it must have been tough?

Momoko
Well, ya could say that...
Different culture, different passage of time,
not to mention how intense it all was over there, it's hard to even feel relieved.

Yachiyo
I would love to hear all about what happened.

Momoko
With everyone else comin' back, I'm sure your ears'll be full.

Yachiyo
Everyone else...then...

Momoko
That's right, Iroha-chan's concept scattered all across the past - it's comin' home.

Yachiyo
I'll call you back.

---

Asuka
W-w-what-! The past groups have all returned!?

Ria
A shame all of these Grief Seeds were gathered for nothing.

Tsumugi
Huuu, this big distraction got me all hungry.

Manaka
Don't let your guard down just yet! We still don't know what will happen!

---

Nanaka
It seems they collected the lost concept that saved us all.

Kako
Then that means Iroha-san's pieces are all back together...!

Meiyui
That being said, it is best we not have strange expectations.

Akira
Well, betray your expectations all you want... But y'know what, I think it's okay to have hope.

---

Ayaka
Uoooh!
So, so, Iroha-chan might be comin' back!?

Emiri
If she is, we gotta do a Roha Revival Fest!

Hinano
Oi, quit celebrating! It's too early to.

Shizuku
We have to make sure she's actually back first, and then we can relax.

---

Tsuruno's Voice
MASTEEEER!

Yachiyo
...Guh - welcome back, Tsuruno.

Tsuruno
I'm home!!

Sana
Felicia-san, I'm back too...!

Felicia
Yeah!
Good job gettin' Iroha's concept back!

Yachiyo
And everyone else...

Yuna
Perhaps now we've returned just a fraction of the favor.

Himena
But returning Irorin's kindness is mega mental damage...
Knowing how it all comes tumbling down, it's got me majorly bummed out...

Shizuka
I feel quite relieved. We have safely unbound the spell over Mahou Shoujo.

Rabi
We reproduced history as written, as painful as the end was...

Nemu
Regardless of the happenstance of each era, what you have done has saved the day.
No, Mahou Shoujo across the entire world have been saved, I should say.
It is because of all of you that the Automatic Purification System is not lost.

Kagome
What about Iroha-san's body...

Mitama
She's stable now, and looking okay.

Yozuru
Our burden has been lightened now that everyone has returned.

Sudachi
Funmunmu, funmu fumummumu. Fumumu fumufunmumu.

Livia
Right as rain, it's proof Iroha-chan's concept is right where it belongs.

Kagome
Kya-...!
There was some magical reaction just now...
["That tiny magical reaction I just felt - it's suddenly swelling into a mass!"]

Iroha
.....
Uu...huh...I...

Touka
Nnyaaa...
I was in some kind of daze. What happened...?

Nemu
Thank goodness...

Ui
You and Onee-chan have been out of it this whole time.
Our trips through the past made Onee-chan's concept fall apart...

Nemu
And that caused Onee-san to nearly become nonexistent until a moment ago,
dragging you down along with her...
However, everyone saved you. Thanks to them going to the past, you see.

Touka
Mmm...
Meaning the verification test between Nemu and I failed?

Nemu
I suppose so, but...
You're currently standing in front of everyone who saved you, so could you at least look a little ashamed...?

Iroha
Huh...could it be... All of you can see me...?

Kanagi
We hear you loud and clear.
Thanks to Nanami gathering your scattered concept in the present.

Momoko
She's been lookin' for a way to find you this whole time.

Iroha
...Yachiyo-san.

Yachiyo
...Welcome home, Iroha.

Iroha
I'm back...
I've been watching over you all this time...
Every time I saw you eating at the base of the sakura tree,
I always wanted to go sit next to you and talk...!

Yachiyo
The next time you disappear I hope you can at least have enough time to exchange a few words...

Iroha
...You're not going to ask me to stay?

Yachiyo
That's mean.
...I want you to stay with us from now on...please...

Iroha
Okay...

Iroha
["AGHH-...!? Uuu-..."]

Yachiyo
Iroha!? What's wrong!?

Iroha
...Kh, I don't...know.

Yachiyo
Your...oh no... Your Soul Gem...!

Iroha
["AAaaAAHHH-!!"]

Felicia
Iroha!? Yachiyo!?

Sana
It can't be... Iroha-san and Yachiyo-san were...

Tsuruno
Taken into a Witch's body...?
T-th-they still have a magical reaction...!
They're still alive! It's okay!

Touka
Everyone get out of the Sakura Uwasa immediately!

Nemu
No, you're being forced out...! The Uwasa barrier won't hold...!

---

Yuna
Ku...not even a moment to be sentimental, is there...

Shizuka
There's no helping it... More importantly, where's the Witch...!?

Rabi
That...is almost the same as the Mirror Witch...

Himena
This is a total shit show... Why'd that thing have to appear...?

Kanagi
To me, it appeared to have overflowed out from Tamaki-kun...

Mitama
There's no mistaking it...

Rena
Why...? Wasn't she saved...?

Momoko
Even Yachiyo-san...

---

Sakurako
｜This barrier, it is the same as the Witch we just defeated...｜
｜The entire sky is a Witch's barrier... Has the Automatic Purification System been swallowed?｜

Kagome
...If it has -
Ah, the Witch is moving!!
Kya!!

---

Sana
Wait...!
Please don't take Iroha-san and everyone away...!

Tsuruno
Where are they heading towards...? Chuo Ward...? The center of Kamihama...?
No...Mizuna Castle...?

Felicia
Didn't we just beat this Witch!?

Kagome
(But the Witch looks different now than it did then...)
[If what we defeated was an offshoot Witch separate from the main body...]
[If the Witch we just defeated, like the ones from the past, are "going after Iroha-san's concept"...]
[The real Witch manipulated the separate bodies without us realizing, all while recovering right alongside Iroha-san's concept...]
No...if it...if it...keeps going at this rate...!
The separated Witch bodies will all become one!!

Nemu
This is the countdown to the very end...

Touka
The Automatic Purification System has been stolen, and the whole world is covered by interconnected barriers.

Sana
Iroha-saaaaan!!

Felicia
Yachiyooooo!!
