Hanayui no Shou 28-6N

[Hero Club room]

Its: Huh? Huuh? The air in the clubroom feels weird.

Aka: Ah, it's because you girls reclaimed most of the land. The balance of this world got destroyed.

Aka: For you it might seem like a good thing. The end is close... Well, it should probably stabilise eventually.

Aya: I received an oracle that says basically the same.

Aka: Well, well. Where do I start? Let's begin with the current situation. You've reclaimed pretty much all of Kouji already.

Aka: All you have to do now is reclaim all that's left, and then fight against the rebelling god. Pacify them, and your duty's done!

Aka: And as far as I know, there shouldn't be anything hard about reclaiming the remainder of Kouchi.

Aka: You came this far, so you should have no troubles with that.

Tou: So we really will have to fight with an actual god themselves.

Aka: Yeah. And once you defeat and pacify them, your duty's done. You'll all return back to your world.

Aka: ...Having lost all of your memories. You can't bring those memories back to the real world.

Sek: Guuuh. A total memory wipe, huh? For real?

Aka: I'm sure you've tried and looked into a lot of things. Am I right, Uesato Hinata-san?

Hin: ...Yeah. My conclusion is the same. Once we return to when we were summoned from, everything will go back to how it was.

Hin: We won't be able to retain our memories, and the experiences that made us stronger will also be reset.

Aka: On the bright side, you won't age.

Mit: But taking these memories back with us would give us so much strength...

Sum: Impossible, then...

Gin: What if we write something down in a notebook? Or write right on our skin?

Aka: That'll disappear too. We're inside the Shinju right now, so anything goes.

Aka: And this way of things can't have any influence on the real world. It's not like the gods are being bullies or anything.

Tam: Yeah, I understand. Impossible, huh. Guess some things are impossible even if the gods try as hard as they can.

Chi: Can't interfere with reality, huh...

Aka: So once you defeat the rebelling god, all of you will return right to when you came from. And the battles will resume for each of you...

Aka: And a cruel fate awaits around half of you.

Tak: Huh!? N-No way...

Aka: The flames shall dance...

Uta: Is this meant to be another joke of yours?

Aka: I'm being serious right now. And you know, you'll die, Shiratori Utano. Shikoku will eventually lose contact with Suwa.

Mit: Wha?..

Sek: It's a distinct possibility. Really, if you think about it, those of us defending solo are inevitably going to end up crushed by the enemy numbers.

Sek: So I don't want to return back to that place, alone. Is there any other way?

Aka: It's simple. All you have to do is not defeat the rebelling god.

Anz: So that's what it comes down to...

Aka: You know about how you don't age in this world, right? You could all live here forever.

Wak: That's out of the question. Akamine, you're trying to lead us astray...

Sek: Hold it, Nogi! Would you mind not interrupting Akamine!?

Wak: Sekka, you...

Sek: Weren't you listening? If we go back, Utano's going to die!

Meb: What if Akamine is lying?

Aka: Well if I'm lying, then let me go on. Minowa Gin-chan!

Gin: Eh?

Aka: The reason for why you're the only one here without a middle-school version of yourself is...

Tou: Stop it!

Aka: You just spelled the answer out.

Tou: Ah...

Aka: I'll say this again. Don't defeat the rebelling god, and live here together, forever.
