MagiReco Main Story 6.7

Not Just the Two of Us

6.7.1
[gray screen]
Iroha: *We were a long way away from home, but both Yachiyo-san and I walked in silence on our way back.*
*"It might take a while, but why don't we walk on our way back?"*
*Smiling gently, I somehow understood Yachiyo-san's feelings.*
[fade in to a street scene]
Iroha: *As we walked on without words, I felt my chest growing tighter.*
[another street]
Iroha: *In the end, it's because I accepted their invitation. My mind was racing, overflowing with the feeling that I had underestimated them.*
*Yachiyo-san might be the same. When we started walking, she said nothing, only facing forward.*
[yet another street]
Iroha: *Thinking about all my regret, I easily found what I wanted to do.*
*I want to undo everyone's brainwashing and save them. I want to find Ui. I want to bring Mifuyu-san back.*
[fade to gray]
Iroha: *This feeling is not a lie. So I can't let myself get down about it.*
*If I don't stop repenting for all of this, if I don't stand up again, I can't continue on.*
*I won't be able to save everyone.*
[to another street in front of Yachiyo's house]
Yachiyo: "It takes a while to walk home, huh."
"It might be difficult to wake up tomorrow morning..."
Iroha: "Yachiyo-san..."
Yachiyo: "Hm?"
Iroha: "Thank you for giving me time to think things through."
Yachiyo: "Don't mind, even I had some repenting to do."
"I wanted to bring the whole thing to a stop."
Iroha: "I too wanted to bring some closure to my feelings."
Yachiyo: "Yes, so, how do you feel now?"
Iroha: "They haven't changed."
"But now, I have steeled my resolve."
Yachiyo: "Could you tell me what you've resolved to do?"
"I'd like to hear the words of my leader."
Iroha: "Yes..."
"We will save everyone from the Wings of Magius."
"Although it's down to just the two of us now..."

6.7.2
[on the street outside Yachiyo's place]
Iroha: "Huh? Did you leave the lights on?"
Yachiyo: "I thought I turned them off when I left..."
Iroha: "Maybe Felicia-chan or the others came back...?"
[they go inside]
Iroha: "Felicia-chan! Sana-chan!"
Momoko: "Um, sorry, but it's Momoko..."
Iroha: "Oh..."
[she collapses]
Momoko: "Ehhh!? Iroha-chan!? Is it that much of a shock that you'd collapse!?"
"Well sure, I'm Bad Timing Momoko, of course..."
Yachiyo: "Momoko..."
Momoko: "Ah, Yachiyo-san..."
Yachiyo: "What happened? Why'd you let yourself in?"
Momoko: "That's because I had something to do."
"You should probably rotate where you put the spare key, you know."
Yachiyo: "That's none of your business."
"...Anyway, you're probably here for... that, right?"
Momoko: "You know already?"
Yachiyo: "Yeah..."
"If you told Rena and Kaede the truth..."
"Then I figured that you'd tell them about dissolving the team..."
Momoko: "You're exactly right."
"I wanted to bring things to a close."
"So I thought I'd make you explain things."
Yachiyo: "You don't need to make me, I'll tell you everything..."
"After all, I've caused you quite a lot of trouble..."
Momoko: "What's with the change of heart?"
Yachiyo: "Iroha strained herself in trying to convince me..."
Momoko: "Iroha-chan!?"
Iroha: "Ah, yeah..."
"She started saying that the team was dissolved, so..."
Momoko: "Heh, to think that it turned out exactly as I expected."
"I can't tell if it's good timing or bad timing..."
"Well, that aside, you're gonna explain, right?"
Yachiyo: "Yes..."
"I don't know if you'll understand..."
"But I'm prepared to answer now..."
"The reason why I broke up the team... What I might have been thinking..."

6.7.3
[in Yachiyo's living room]
Momoko: "..."
Yachiyo: "And so, I've decided to stop doubting myself..."
"I decided to give myself one last chance."
"I'm sorry, Momoko..."
"I don't know how much you worried about me..."
"Even if it wasn't the fault of my wish..."
"It's because of me that you suffered."
"No matter what you say or do to me, I'll accept it..."
Momoko: "There's no going back on that, Yachiyo-san..."
Yachiyo: "Of course..."
Momoko: "Then, this might be a bit painful..."
"Forgive me, will you?"
Iroha: "Momoko-san!"
Yachiyo: "Guh... Momoko... Don't hug me that tightly..."
Momoko: "I'm so glad..."
"I was wondering if maybe we had done something wrong..."
"And if that wasn't the case, then maybe you really did change, or something."
"That's what I thought..."
"But I'm glad I got to hear what you really felt, directly from you."
"I'm so glad that you haven't changed!"
Yachiyo: "Momoko..."
"I'm so sorry..."
[battle]
Momoko: "Hold on a moment!"
"You've been mentioning something about brainwashing occasionally..."
"Did that really happen?"
Yachiyo: "I would never joke about something like that."
Iroha: "All of them left and joined the Wings of Magius..."
Momoko: "Are you serious..."
"I was crying from hearing Yachiyo-san's story..."
"I'm probably all mixed up right now... sorry..."
Yachiyo: "You don't have to apologize..."
Momoko: "In any case, what are you going to do?"
Iroha: "Yachiyo-san and I are going to start thinking about what we'll do."
"Once we do, we plan to go save everyone."
Yachiyo: "Also, we need to go collect grief seeds..."
"We lost quite handily today, after all..."
Momoko: "You seem alright, magic-wise, though..."
Yachiyo: "We met a girl from Mitakihara."
"She gave us one grief seed to use."
Momoko: "I see..."
"Well, when you're fighting, you can't avoid using up magic."
Yachiyo: "Indeed."
Momoko: "I see... Hmm..."
"I got it..."
"Leave the grief seeds to me."
Yachiyo: "Huh?"
Momoko: "I'm telling you I'm going to help."
Yachiyo: "But you..."
Momoko: "No more saying that I'm not a member of the team, okay?"
"Even though I'm Rena and Kaede's leader."
"Why should I need a reason to help someone important to me?"
Iroha: "Thank you so much, Momoko-san."
Momoko: "It's fine, don't worry about it."
"Also, I'm sure Rena and Kaede will also offer to help."
"Although Kaede might not be able to move at the moment..."
Yachiyo: "I was a bit concerned about what we'd be able to do with just the two of us..."
Iroha: "Yeah, now we can work on other things."
Momoko: "Now that the misunderstanding is cleared up, I'm going to work my hardest!"
"Right, senpai?"
Yachiyo: "Stop that."
"That sounds kinda creepy coming from you..."
Iroha: "Hehe"
[her phone chimes]
Iroha: "Ah, a message from Madoka-chan..."
[message]
Madoka: *Sorry about the late-night message! I heard the story from Sayaka-chan, and I couldn't just sit still.*
*I'm probably going to go back to Kamihama, so when I get there, I'll let you know!*
[back to the living room]
Iroha: "Yes... Yachiyo-san..."
"It's not just the two of us anymore."
"We have Momoko-san..."
"Rena-chan and Kaede-chan too..."
"And then Madoka-chan and the others from Mitakihara..."
Yachiyo: "Yeah, the future isn't looking quite so dark."
Iroha: "Yes! We still have plenty of hope!"
