The Girl Who Gives Blessings

Felicia
I can't be here anymore, I can't stay with you guys...!

=====1=====

Kagome's Diary
Kamihama Magia Union and Promised Blood. As suspicions rise to the surface of the mayoral election, both sides count down until their next clash.
But caught in the middle, Felicia-san was struggling. When she learned of her past and the events that unfolded before her, I felt as if I was suffocating, like my heart had been broken.
This is one of the episodes involving the battle between Union and Promised Blood, but more than that, I will once again make note here the form of wish fulfilled by a mahou shoujo.
Her wish, and the incident that happened at this time...

[*Ring♪*]

[Kako, did you know about my wish...?]

-Bedroom (Night)-

Kako
Eh-eh-...!
How did she know...did she just...have a feeling...?

Felicia
I really did kill Daddy and Mommy, didn't I...?
I always thought it was a witch - I've always been looking...for the witch that did it...

Kako
Why would that be true...!? Felicia-chan, you're not a horrible person like that...!

Felicia
You're lyin'.

Kako
Do you really believe that, Felicia-chan...? That it's the truth...

Felicia
I dunno, but... But that's all I can think of...
If it's true, then I can't be livin' together with Iroha or anyone anymore.
I ain't the kind of person you or Ayame should be playin' with.

Kako
Calm down, Felicia-chan.

Felicia
You knew it, too!!

Kako
Let's have a talk about this!

.....
.....

Kako
.....
(The message is...unread...)

[～～♪～～♪]

Kako
――っ!?

-Phone Call-

Kako
A-Ayame-chan!?

Ayame
Kako, what's up with this message just now? The heck's wrong with Felicia-chan!?

Kako
Um, that story about her dream... I think she believes it...

Ayame
Waitaminute, Kako, you knew all about this!?
You're writing in group chat, so I can see everything!

Kako
Umm...yes...but...

Ayame
She's your best friend!

Kako
It's mean to say it like that...!

Ayame
Felicia ain't my friend, but I can still worry about her...!

Kako
...The same goes for me.
Ayame-chan, let's go to Felicia-chan.
We'll talk about it then!

Ayame
...Fine! You better!

-End Phone Call-

Ayame
Kako!

Kako
Ayame-chan!

Ayame
The place Felicia-chan lives at is around here somewhere, right?

Kako
Yeah-
Right now she's in an evacuation area called Crescent House...!
This reaction - Felicia-chan...!

Ayame
That's definitely her magic, but somethin's real weird!

Kako
...She might be accumulating impurity.

---

Iroha
Felicia-chan, don't run away...

Felicia
Why're you followin' me... Leave me alone!

Iroha
I can't just leave you alone when you're suffering like this!

Felicia
I told ya I'm fine...

Iroha
You're not fine! Everyone has been aware the whole time!
You and I, all of us, we're like a family.

Yachiyo
We share our suffering together in Mikazuki Villa.
I believe we all agreed to that.
So don't run away, we will accept you just as you are.

Tsuruno
Besides, if you even think about escaping, I'll come catch you!

Felicia
But you're gonna completely regret ever bein' nice to me!
I'm the one that killed Daddy and Mommy...!

Tsuruno
――っ!?

Sana
I broke all ties with my family when I came to Mikazuki Villa, but you are not like me,
you love your family, Felicia-san.
That's why I know you didn't kill them...

Felicia
You're wrong, I did kill 'em...!

Sana
っ...

Ui
But Felicia-san, you told me
that anyone who loves Decagon Ball can't be a bad person.

Felicia
Then I'm the first person to ever disgrace Decagon Ball!

Ui
Y-you got it all wrong...! I meant...that you're a good person!

Tsuruno
...What made you suddenly start believing that dream in the first place?
At least tell us that first.

Kako
Haa...haa...

Ayame
FELICIA!!

Felicia
Kako...Ayame...

Ayame
Huu...sendin' a weird message all of a sudden, don't worry me like that, IDIOT!

Felicia
Not like I can help it! 'Cause it's all completely true!

Tsuruno
So then tell us what happened! You could just be overthinking it!

Felicia
Uu...huu...u...

=====2=====

Felicia
[I thought it was just a dream. I tried not worryin' about it 'cause I thought it was all a lie.]
[But on my way home after goin' to Suitoku Temple and seein' those ghosts with Kako and Ayame, I saw that Promised Blood oni girl.]

-Flashback-

Felicia
――っ!?
(This reaction...)

Yuna
Oh my, what a coincidence meeting you in a place like this...

Felicia
The hell do you want with me...

Yuna
I'm not here to fight you.
You should undo your transformation before someone sees you.

Felicia
Then get outta here. I ain't good for anythin' but fightin'.

Yuna
Sure, I was just on my way to Suitoku Temple to check on the Tokime...
Goodbye, Mitsuki Felicia-san.

Felicia
Wait a sec, I gotta bone to pick with you.

Yuna
What would that be I wonder.

Felicia
What'd you do to me in Kamihama Prison...!?
You were gonna hit me with all your strength,
then you changed the target 'n tried breakin' somethin'!

Yuna
Huhu, I suppose you could say I took a gamble and had it pay out.

Felicia
So then you do know something'!? Spit it out!

Yuna
Huhu...
I recall you using that oblivion magic of yours in Futatsugi.
I merely thought you had forgotten something yourself.

Felicia
Ah...?

Yuna
A mahou shoujo's unique magic is influenced by their wish.
You do know the basics, don't you...?
That's why when we were fighting in the underground prison, I took my chance with you.
If your memory has been wiped by some sort of power,
then I figured crushing that power would bring your memory back.
That's why I put all that energy into it, but it seems like it had little effect...

Felicia
Cut it out! You're makin' it sound like my dream is real!

Yuna
It doesn't just sound like, it is real.

Felicia
Back off...! The hell you gettin' closer for...

Yuna
So I can finish one more task.
Whatever is blocking your memory, I'll unseal it this time.

Felicia
っ...!

-Battle-

Yuna
I've caught you.

Felicia
Stop iiit!

-End Battle-

Yuna
If you insist on not believing, then just ask Kyubey...
Target change!

Felicia
[Daddy...Mommy...]
[UaaAAAAAAaah!!]
.....

Kyubey
I never imagined you would recall your true memories.
How is it that you remember? I'm quite curious.

Felicia
Shut up...

Kyubey
Did you possibly hear it from Natsume Kako?

Felicia
Kako...knew...?

Kyubey
She asked me about it previously.
However, judging by that reaction, it seems she did not tell you.

Felicia
...Seriously?

Kyubey
The only other possibility I can think of would be Kureha Yuna.

Felicia
っ...Shut up...

Kyubey
It's hard to believe a mahou shoujo is capable of erasing the phenomenon caused by a wish.
Perhaps the way your wish came true and your own emotions influenced it.
And considering the influence of what you humans call the placebo effect,
my curiosity for this phenomenon is limitless.

Felicia
GO AWAAAY!!

Kyubey
Kyu-!

Felicia
...It's not true, it's a lie...!
[What I thought was a dream became clear the moment that oni girl hit me. The fact it seemed so real made it even more weird... I don't wanna believe it, but it feels like the truth. Or it could just be magic, and I'm just bitching...]
[So I asked Kyubey and he told me it was true.]
[Even so, ain't it his job to be making witches?]
[That's why I was thinking he's just saying weird things to make me turn into a witch, but the memory of when I made my wish is stuck in my head and won't go away.]
[So I thought I'd blow off steam at the game center, then Rena 'n her friends all saw me crying...]

=====3=====

Felicia
That's about all that happened. I'm the one that killed 'em...

Kako
Sorry, Felicia-chan.

Felicia
I should be thankin' you,
bein' friends with a parent killer like me all this time...

[*Bam!*]

Felicia
Tsuruno...

Tsuruno
Felicia, it's not your fault...! The one to blame is Kureha Yuna...!
Because you truly regret it, because you were really panicked.
That's why...that's why you locked up your own memories!
That shows how much you loved your father and mother!
Why else would you be going around looking for that witch to avenge them!
You wouldn't stop raging until you avenged your loved ones!
Haa...haa...

Felicia
Thanks, Tsuruno...
But...that won't make it just disappear... The fact I killed them!!

Tsuruno
Felicia!

Yachiyo
Get back, Tsuruno! Her doppel is coming out!
...She's shedding tears of cement.
Her sadness dries and hardens, unable to flow down her cheeks...

Iroha
Throwing a person's mind into chaos...into pieces...
How could you...Kureha-san...

---

.....

Iroha
The cement on her feet...!

Tsuruno
We have to get her out before it hardens or she's in trouble!

Ui
Felicia-san is...

Felicia
.....

Ui
She fainted. Our voices won't reach her...

Sana
Once Felicia-san's soul gem is purified she will return, right...?

Iroha
It will still take some time...!
Kya!

Sana
Iroha-san!

Yachiyo
You're not getting away!
...My feet are hardening. I have to do something about this first...

Iroha
.....I don't see her anymore.
Is everyone okay?

Sana
Yes, the cement came off...

Yachiyo
Felicia... Where could she have gone...
Do either of you have any idea?

Kako
Where... Ayame-chan, do you know...?

Ayame
Hmm... The park or the game center...?
Could it be Mikazuki Villa since she hasn't been able to go home lately...?

Kako
To Felicia, that is her home, true...

Ayame
But I dunno.

Kako
There's also the candy store we go to often, or the bookstore where we buy manga.
I think there's a lot of places that only we know about.

Iroha
Kako-chan, Ayame-chan, could you help us find her?

Tsuruno
Yeah, could you look around all the places we don't know about?

Ayame
We'd look for her without you askin'!

Kako
Yes, she's right.

Ayame
Let's go, Kako! We'll be the first to find her!

Kako
Ayame-chan! This isn't a competition, okay!?
Ah, um... I'm off...!

Iroha
Good luck!
We need to get moving, too. We have to find Felicia-chan...

Yachiyo
If doppels are a representation of oneself,
I think if we imagined the reason for her moving we'd have a lead, but...

Iroha
What is her reason for moving...

Yachiyo
It must be something that motivates Felicia, like where she would want to go, or what she would want to find.

Iroha
Could it be... Her father and mother...?

Sana
Ah, then maybe... She wants to deny her memories...
If that's true, she may have gone home to find out the truth...
Not Mikazuki Villa, but her real home she used to live at...

Ui
Felicia-san said she lived in Minaminagi!
Maybe she went there to see the truth.

Sana
Yeah, it could be...

Tsuruno
I think so, too.
Somewhere inside Felicia, she still doesn't believe it.
That she killed her parents.

Yachiyo
Let's go, to Minaminagi.

Iroha
Do you know the address?

Tsuruno
When she started helping out at Banbanzai I heard it!

=====4=====

Tsuruno
I knew this would be the right way, I got Felicia's reaction!

Yachiyo
Yes, it's been a while, but there's no mistaking that's her magic.

Iroha
It's so frustrating...

Yachiyo
Iroha...

Iroha
I invited her to Mikazuki Villa without noticing anything,
and even as I watch her suffer there's nothing I can do...
There's so many things I want to tell her and look forward to,
but I can't imagine myself being able to save Felicia-chan...
It's exactly as Sana-chan said.

-Flashback-

Sana
I don't feel I would be able to save Felicia-san's heart...

Iroha
...That's...

Sana
I came to Mikazuki Manor to escape from my family, but...
Felicia-san is different...
She loves her mother and father...

-End Flashback-

Sana
Yes... I still feel the same way, too...
As much as I want to save her, an equal amount of emptiness fills my heart...

Iroha
(Unable to save my friend...or my family...)
(Even the people in the other groups... I want to save them all...)
(I really am a fool that I couldn't see it myself...)
(Just how much I can't manage my own ideals...)

Yachiyo
Iroha, whatever you do, don't keep it to yourself,
because the only one that could save me from fighting alone was none other than you, Iroha.

Iroha
Yachiyo-san...

Yachiyo
We're all here for each other.
And us trying to save Felicia right now is no different.

Tsuruno
That's right! We have to help each other!
And now Felicia's got a younger sister in Ui-chan,
so Mikazuki Villa's power is stronger than ever before!!
Yep yep!

Iroha
Yeah, you're right. Right now we have the power of five people.

Ui
We'll make it, Onee-chan! Sana-san, too!

Sana
Yes, we will, Ui-chan...!
For what we can do, the first thing we need is to put our hearts into it...!

Iroha
(What I can do... Is understand Felicia-chan...)
[If I didn't know how to forgive myself...]
[And there was some way to calm myself down before I could...]
That would be...

Sana
Iroha-san, I may have just thought of the same thing...
She would go back home one last time, right...?

Iroha
Yeah...

Sana
Then I will go. Please go on without me...!

Iroha
No way, I'll go too!

Sana
The one who invited Felicia-san to Mikazuki Villa
was you, right...?

Iroha
Yeah...

Sana
I think she would be happier to see the first person that gave her kindness...

Iroha
...I understand. Thank you, Sana-chan.

Sana
Okay... I will catch up with you soon...!

-Dream (Moo Moo Farm)-

Felicia
Awesooooome! I can see all the cows from here!
Daddy, Mommy! Come on already!

Felicia's Father
You don't have to be in such a rush. The cows aren't going anywhere so you can relax.

Felicia's Mother
What is it about animals that puts her in such a good mood?

Father
They definitely suit Felicia.
I'd be so happy if she grew up this carefree.

Mother
I went through all the trouble of getting her into a private school so she could do serious studying...

Father
She's got her likes, and she's got what she's good at. Isn't she fine the way she is?

Felicia
I don't care what ya gotta say about me, let's get a move on!
There's milking 'n ice cream, and we gotta buy lots of souvenirs.

Father
Besides, just look at this personality.
But hey, you get to pick out ONE souvenir, alright?

Felicia
'Kay, stuffed animal it is!

Father
Ehh?

Mother
Now you're the one being bad. I'll have to take this out of your allowance.

Father
You can't do that!

Felicia
Nishishi.

-End Dream-

Felicia
Ah...
Gu...u... The hell's this, my body's...heavy...
...Wait, that's my house.
(What's going on...)
(Kyubey was tellin' me the truth and then Iroha 'n everyone was tryin' to persuade me...)
(But, the doppel came out...)
.....
I thought I dreamed it all up... But it's all true...
Otherwise my doppel wouldn't a come out 'n cleaned my soul gem.
(And why did my doppel have to bring me here...)

[Just to make sure...]

It all looks the same, but...
...Guess I'll go.

[It won't stop at my floor.]

[It won't stop at my floor.]

When I lived here it stopped just fine...
It's stoppin' at all the other floors. What the hell, this is pissin' me off...
(Do I jump to the 15th floor...)
(I oughta be able to get in from the veranda...)

=====5=====

-Flashback-

Felicia
Today's fried chicken! I can't waaait!

Mother
Hold on, I'm frying something, this is dangerous.

Felicia
What, just make it crispy.
Today we're celebratin' my good scores, aren't we?

Mother
That's why I'm making the food you want and even got out the kotatsu.
And yet Papa is late coming home on your celebration day...

Felicia
Hmm.

Mother
Honestly, I wish he'd come home early on days like this.

Felicia
Fine by me as long as I get to eat meat!
I can't wait to eat Mommy's fried chicken.

Mother
That's fine, but it's about time you watch the way you speak.

Felicia
Ah?

Mother
It's not "Mommy," it's "Mama." It's not "Daddy," it's "Papa."
If you don't change it soon you know you're going to be laughed at, right?

Felicia
Now all a sudden I'm the one gettin' lectured!

Mother
I don't want you being careless like Papa!

Felicia
You're just lashin' out at me!

Mother
What, that is not how you speak to me!

Felicia
Shut uuup, duuummy!

[*Crash!*]

Mother
Hey, don't kick me!
Ah-...
aaAAAAHH!!

Felicia
Eh, ah...

Mother
Felicia, hurry, water!

Father
I'm home, I got here soon as you asked.
Oi, what the hell is this...!

Felicia
Water...! Ah, a bucket in the sink...!

Father
Stop, Felicia! Don't use water!

Felicia
Eh-?

Father
GyaaAH!

Felicia
.....
[What's happening...]
[I kicked her... Then Mommy knocked the pot over and it's burning...]
[I poured water on it 'cause it's on fire, so why's it getting worse...]
[The towels, the walls, the bottle of oil burning, there's a popping sound and oils flowing everywhere... And the kotatsu I was so happy they bought...]
[What, what, what is this...]

Kyubey
Greetings, Mitsuki Felicia.

Felicia
.....

Kyubey
You have refused me so many times, so this will be the last.
I can make any wish come true. Will you become a mahou shoujo?

Felicia
.....happened.

Kyubey
Will you repeat that one more time?

Felicia
[What's happening before my eyes... Make it like it never happened...]

-End Flashback-

Felicia
I'm...the witch...

-Battle-

Felicia
What do you want...

???
――――

Felicia
You wanna take my body...?
Weren't you things originally witches...?
I got the body of a mahou shoujo, so maybe it's fittin'...

=====6=====

Iroha
Haa...っ, haa...
Here - this is the apartment building Felicia lived at...

Tsuruno
There should be a room on the 15th floor that Felicia used to live in.

Yachiyo
She's here...I sense a reaction above.

Ui
We need to hurry!

Yachiyo
Yeah, we won't be able to get in from the hallway, so we'll have to jump straight to the 15th story.

Iroha
We need to prepare ourselves for whatever reality is waiting for us...

Tsuruno
You're right...

---

Felicia
.....

Iroha
Felicia-chan!!
This is - what...
The Kimochi bracelet is having some strange reaction...

Ui
u...

Iroha
Ui!?

Ui
What Kanagi-san and the others were saying was true...
This Kimochi...is trying to steal Felicia-san's body...!!
I don't know how, but I can feel it...!

Tsuruno
Then it must have been sending Kasane Ao's heart into disarray back when hers did it!

Yachiyo
We have to save Felicia's heart... But how do we reach her...

Iroha
...Everyone, please come touch my bracelet.

Yachiyo
Iroha...?

Iroha
We meet the Kimochi inside our hearts... So it may be all or nothing, but...
We'll try to connect to her through the bracelet...!

Yachiyo
Got it. Don't think, we just have to try.

Tsuruno
You're right, Master!

Ui
Onee-chan, please!

Iroha
Yeah...!
[Please...connect...]
[You spoke to me through my heart...]
[You gathered together to spread the barrier...]
[If you can do that, then connect me to Felicia-chan!!]

???
――――

Felicia
Yeah, I don't feel like takin' you to the auto purification system...
I ain't takin' you no matter what you try.

???
――――

Felicia
If you wanna go, do it yourself.

???
――――

Felicia
Then feel free to use whatever's left of this body.

Iroha
Felicia-chan!!

Felicia
...Iroha? Why're you here of all places...

Iroha
Don't let the Kimochi control you, don't let it take your body!

Yachiyo
Please, don't let your emotions in the moment sweep you away!

Felicia
The hell are you sayin'...
I don't need all of you interferin' anymore...!
Didn't ya see it...? In the room I used to live in...
I did it...
That's proof... I did it...I killed them...Me!!

Tsuruno
That doesn't mean you have to give your body to the Kimochi!

Felicia
I'd rather die 'n give 'em this body so they can do whatever they want..!!

Tsuruno
Felicia...

Ui
Ah...the Kimochi...!

???
――――

-Battle-

Ui
No, I won't let you take Felicia-san's body!

Felicia
Why're you doin' this, Ui! I'm tellin' ya leave me alone!

Iroha
We can't just leave you alone, Felicia-chan.

Felicia
Why...?

Iroha
Because we are a family, and we spend our time at Mikazuki Villa!!
I can't let someone so close to me be this unhappy, and I won't let you die!!

Felicia
Stop it! You don't gotta help me!!

-End Battle-

Felicia
Ha...

Ui
Thank goodness, you're awake...!

Tsuruno
Anything wrong? Is your body okay? It didn't take you over, did it?

Felicia
.....
Hu...ッUu... I was tryin' to make it easy...
Killin' my parents, trickin' you guys... I'm...just the worst...
I deserve to be unhappy. There's no point...in livin' anymore...

Yachiyo
I want you to be happy, Felicia.
And there's plenty of things worth living for.

Felicia
I don't get it...!
All I do is cause trouble for you, Yachiyo!

Yachiyo
Yes you do, every single morning you refuse to get out of bed, and you're always being so selfish.
But you know what? You melted my frozen heart.
When I kept losing my friends, you and everyone else here gave me hope.
That's why I'm so grateful to have you as part of my family.
I can't wait to see how you will grow.
So, don't tell me it's not worth it.

Felicia
Uu-...huu...
I'm glad, but... What do I do about this...!

Tsuruno
Every one of us has our regrets that we reflect on, and we all try to change ourselves little by little.
And you're no different, Felicia.
Whether you're working at Banbanzai or staying at Mikazuki Villa, you've been changing, too!
-I mean growing. Little by little, without a doubt, nice and steady!
You studied hard and got a 60 in Japanese, and you've even taught Ui-chan.

Ui
Yeah, I love studying together with you, Felicia-san.
And all the games we play, too!
You know, Felicia-san, when you're there with us, the whole house gets a lot brighter.
So, I would like it if you stayed...

Tsuruno
It would make me happy, too.

Felicia
.....

Tsuruno
When I became an Uwasa, there was something you said, Felicia:
I don't want anyone leaving me ever again.
That made me so happy... And now I'm going to say the same...
Don't leave me, Felicia.

Felicia
ッ...Huu...*Sniffle*... Will I...be okay...
Daddy and Mommy will... Definitely hold a grudge against me...

Sana
Thank goodness...I made it in time...

Iroha
Sana-chan...!

Felicia
――っ!?

Sana
You always sleep with this stuffed animal in your arms, right...?
I think it's a part of your love,
but also the love from your father and mother.
So I think you can rest assured...

Felicia
Daddy...Mommy...

[*Hug...*]

Sana
I have never felt that kind of love reciprocated from someone before.
But rest assured, Felicia-san,
your father and mother love you very much...

Felicia
Yeah...

Iroha
And you know, I think the one that's filled with the most love
is the girl who tried to give it to her Kimochi. It's Felicia-chan, herself.

Felicia
Me...my body...?

Iroha
Yeah.

Iroha
[Tsuruno-chan hugged you. Yachiyo-san dried your hair. You ate the lunch I made. You held a pencil while studying with Ui-chan. You built a house with Sana-chan and Mokyu.]
[All of these memories with everyone, all of the love you've been given by everyone, all of it. It's all a part of the one body you have.]
[There's something else in there, too. The love from Felicia-chan's parents.]
[So remember all of it. Reminisce.]

Iroha
I'm sure you know yourself that you're a big bundle of everyone's love.
And the love we give you will never ever change.
Even if you're suffering from your sins, we'll all carry it together.

Felicia
Thank you...guys...
Besides, I should be takin' good care of it...
It's the body Daddy and Mommy gave me, after all...

=====7====

Yachiyo
Have you calmed down a little?

Felicia
Yeah...
Don't know why...the whole room's burned to a crisp,
but I feel like I can hear Daddy and Mommy's voices comin' from somewhere...

Yachiyo
That must be a memory of yours.
When my grandmother died, and when I lost Kanae and Meru,
there were times when the old Mikazuki Villa would come flowing back to me.
What kind of voices are they...?

Felicia
Some of 'em are kinda angry, but they're also happily laughing with me...
Uu-...

Yachiyo
Felicia...?

Felicia
The voices changed, stop it...! Don't ruin my happy memories...!

Tsuruno
Is this the Kimochi again...!?

Felicia
っ...What do you think.

Iroha
Don't torment Felicia-chan anymore!
It's no use, Felicia-chan... Don't hate yourself...
The Kimochi is trying to take advantage of your heart and steal your body!

Felicia
But...but... I can hear somethin'...
Even if all of you forgive me! Even if everyone needs me!
Daddy and Mommy are gonna hate me...!

Sana
――っ!?

-Flashback-

Sana
I don't feel I would be able to save Felicia-san's heart...

Iroha
...That's...

Sana
I came to Mikazuki Manor to escape from my family, but...
Felicia-san is different...
She loves her mother and father...

-End Flashback-

Sana
We can't take the place of her father and mother...
Even so, I thought I could support her... and she could support me...

Ui
Can't we still defeat the Kimochi to save her...!?
If she hates herself, doesn't that mean the Kimochi is using her?
So it's blaming Felicia-san to try to take her over...?

Felicia
Uu...uuu, aaAHH!!

Ui
Felicia-san!!

???
[Felicia...]

Felicia
Haa...haa... This voice...

Iroha
These people...

Felicia
Daddy...Mommy...!

Yachiyo
It can't be...

Tsuruno
No way, they're real...?

Felicia
How...why...

Felicia's Mother
Don't worry about what happened in this house. This was an accident, and you are not to blame.
Thinking about the Felicia I had forgotten, seeing the Felicia I had remembered,
that's all I've ever wanted to tell you.

Felicia's Father
If you look back to the start of it all, it was Papa's and Mama's fault.

Felicia
No, I'm the one that did all this...!

Mother
No, Papa and Mama both noticed when we went to the farm with you,
that you were behaving so cheery because we were fighting.
Doing silly things, doing bad things, doing anything you could in front of us...
But I realized too late, and I couldn't change anything...
I'm sorry...Felicia...

Father
It's not your fault, Felicia. Rather, we're the ones that want your forgiveness.

Felicia
From the beginning...I...never blamed Daddy and Mommy.
I never thought that...

Father
Thank you, Felicia.
From now on, live without blaming yourself. I want you to help everyone.

Felicia
Don't go...Daddy...Mommy...!

Mother
It's okay.
[The name Felicia originates from good luck and God's blessing.]

Father
[Yep, that name will keep Felicia safe and sound. I'm sure she'll be able to live a happy life.]
[And one day, not only will she receive those blessings, I think she'll bless others, too.]

Father and Mother
[It's such a magical name, the first present Papa and Mama have given Felicia will stay with her the rest of her life.]

Felicia
Daddy...Mommy...

[*Rustle...*]

Felicia
...A family photo.
.....
I'm...gonna live...
I'll be happy, and I'll make everyone else happy...

-Battle-

Felicia
I'm accepting myself, and I'm over all the hate.
So you ain't takin' my body!
I'll take you to the damn purification system!

-End Battle-

Asahi
Was that satisfactory?

Kako
I'm sorry... I asked for something so unreasonable...

Ayame
But it's a good thing you remembered. I knew lookin' for ghosts was the right idea!

Kako
I suppose so, but...

Asahi
I was being rushed as well, of course.

-Flashback-

Asahi
What business do you have here before dawn...?
Wouldn't you say this is a little ill-mannered? I don't think this is proper etiquette​.

Kako
I-I'm really sorry... I'm aware of that...but...
I want you to help Felicia-chan!

Ayame
You can summon ghosts, cancha!? 'Cause we want to ask you to!
Go summon Felicia's daddy and mommy!

Asahi
...But,
even if we set aside what has happened, it's still a little difficult to do...

Ayame
Why...!

Asahi
I am of the branch family of Tokime.
We may be allied, but Union is still a group we must eventually contend against...
I very much would like to help, however...

Ayame
Wrong...!
We're not part of Union...!

Asahi
You can say whatever you like.

Kako
And we're not here as allies...
We're two friends that just want to help Felicia-chan...!
So please...lend us your help...
Otherwise Felicia-chan...
I'm sure she would never be able to forgive herself...
Please...I'm begging you...

Ayame
I'm not...her friend, but I don't want to be without her
so please...!

Asahi
It's hard for me to deny the request of friends...

Ayame
We ain't friends!

-End Flashback-

Asahi
If you were partnered with Union I would have had to refuse you.

Ayame
Well, we really have nothing to do with them so we're alright.
Riiight, Kako.

Kako
Yes, nothing at all.

-Flashback-

Ayame
I won't join them,
and she's not...my friend, but...
If Felicia or anyone else is in chouble, I want to be able to help them.
---
Kako
I can't...let someone else...make my decisions for me...
Because they would...I'm sure...
Come back to me...when I need them most.

-End Flashback-

Kako
(I'm glad I made that decision.)

Ayame
(Even If I'm on the outside, I can still lend a hand.)

Asahi
(I'm glad Mitsuki Felicia is safe for the time being.)
(However...)
[Mahou shoujo are nothing.]
[Even if I had not saved her, nothing much would have changed with her passing.]

-Interview Recording-
    Izumi Kanagi
"I was just thinking it was nearly my turn. Hm, it seems my intuition was right."
"I don't think it's possible, but I desire a future where all people live in an equal and fair society. Do you think it's possible?"
"...If you ask if I'm right, I am right, but I'm the one going against the world. I'm not looking for stricter laws or norms."
"I only want people to stop lumping everyone together without looking, and see each and every individual that lives here and evaluate them for who they are."
"Of course there are rougher people as well. Maybe it's because I grew up in such a different environment, or because I give off a glaring impression."
"However, if you pull the lid off of me, you'll find Nagitan from the maid cafe."
"My younger brother may try to pick fights, but he never does anything violently himself. My mother is a healthy woman who helps support the family with me, on behalf of my father who has a bad leg."
"Even if we spend our days poor in the material sense, we are never mentally poor. In Daito and Kosho, many sorts of people like us."
"So, it is my hope that one day we can be evaluated as the individuals we are, so that we can live side by side with the west, as one city."
"Though, this future I desire is not so far away. Yes, I believe so..."
