Determination

Kirameki no Shou 20-1

[Jukai]

Gin: And this ends it! Daaaah!

Nat: What a clean finishing blow. You’ve gotten even stronger.

Gin: We have to take care of these sturdy enemies. I’m doing my best to manage.

Kar: So you’re focusing on the strength of your singular blows. I’m working on the speed of my consecutive strikes, personally.

Shi: Looks like we have time before the second wave comes.

Sek: We’ll be fine as long as the tanky ones don’t appear.

Lil: D-Did you see that? Even that Gin-kun worked her hardest, and she’s still in elementary…

Yuz: Yeah, it’s impressive alright… But she’s a Hero.

Yuz: I don’t have those powers.

Wak: In this world, you have the very same powers we do. The rest is up to your resolve.

Yuz: Wakaba-san…

Wak: You don’t have to be so formal… But that’s fine.

Wak: Take a look at your phones. There should be an app there. You can transform by launching it.

Wak: And once you do, you’ll be able to fight with no prior experience. Yuuki and Itsuki went through the same.

Wak: You’re free to simply observe today, but I’d like you to join us Heroes next time.

You: The second wave is coming! Stardust only, but in large numbers!

Lil: There’s no need to wait for the next time.

Lil: Even those little girls are fighting. I will become a Hero, right now! Dauntless and decisive!

Yuz: Lily…

Lil: It’s time to… Trans! Form!

Kirameki no Shou 20-2

[Jukai]

Lil: …W-Whoaaaaaaa! So this is me!

Lil: Incredible! Look, I have the same kind of outfit as the Heroes!

Wak: Yes, I feel the power surging from within you.

Wak: The enemy is coming. Stardust should make for good practice. I’ll back you up, so would you try yourself in combat?

Lil: Y-Yes! With the most reliable support in the world behind me, why wouldn’t I?

SON: Wow, Yuriri transformed!

Wak: Fuyou-san looks so pretty…

Tam: Hoho, Lily’s weapon is a naginata. You’d think we would have one already, but nope.

Yuu: Try moving however you want.

Lil: …Vertexes, you who brought ruin to mankind! And I don’t care that you’re imitations!

Lil: Now fall, my foes! Haaah!

Meb: Right in half. She has a knack for it.

Nat: The blade was like flowing water… Elegant yet sharp.

Suz: My, Lily-san, that was stellar. Allow me to introduce myself again, I’m Kagajou Suzume.

Lil: Haha, I did it, I did it! Yuzuki-kun! I can fight!

Lil: My old theatrical swordplay lessons are finally coming in handy!

Yuz: …Jeez, you just had to pave the way, didn’t you?

Yuz: It’s not like we can go back to our world without dealing with this mess anyway, right?

Yuz: I have to do this, right!? Well I will!

SHI: Oh, Yuzuki’s up next? Don’t sweat it, I’ve got your back!

Anz: I wonder what kind of Hero she’ll turn out to be… Pulse rising…

Kirameki no Shou 20-3

[Jukai]

Yuz: So this is my Hero form…

Yuz: True enough, I feel power welling up.

Nat: Feels powerful, or maybe even wild. Like the billowing waves.

SHI: Whoa, whoa, is your weapon a chainsaw?

Yuz: This must be the switch… Yeah, this is a chainsaw.

Yuz: I have a hunch how to use it. Like this!

Anz: S-She’s rushing at the enemy like a sawblade!

Lil: Alright, I’ve gotten the hang of how to reliably take them down!

Lil: Now I’ll try beating that enemy made up of many Stardust!

Yuz: Out of the way, Lily!

Lil: Y-Y-Yuzuki-kun!?

Yuz: Haaah!

Gin: Wow, she split the combined Stardust in two with her chainsaw!

Yuz: I got dragged into this insane mess because of you bastards.

Yuz: So I’m gonna wipe you all out right now! Rgh! Rgh! Yaaaah!

Fuu: What formidable girl power… She’s brandishing her chainsaw and shredding Stardust left and right.

Yuz: Come on, who’s next!?

Lil: Um, Yuzuki-kun, there aren’t any more enemies left…

Yuz: Oh, it’s over?
Lil: Waah, turn that chainsaw off!

Meb: I knew it, of course our reinforcements at this crucial stage would be reliable.

Kirameki no Shou 20-4

[Jukai]

Lil: Yuzuki-kun, I have to say, your weapon is formidable. Express extermination!

Yuz: But it’s really exhausting to swing this thing around.

Yuz: And chainsaws overheat if you keep them running for too long.

Lil: So it’s powerful, but not well-suited for long fights. I’m still peppy, on the other hand.

Yuz: A naginata has a long reach, so it’s a good fit for you.

Wak: Well done, you two. Your first fight and immediate results!

Yum: You even grasped their advantages and shortcomings right away, what talent!

Son: You’re doing almost way too good!

Lil: What a relief. I’ll help as best I can!

Yuz: We’ll help out, so let’s end this quickly.

Chi: We might actually manage to put a quick end to things.

Sek: That chainsaw should make short work of the sturdy ones we’re struggling with.

Yuz: Now, I know I said we’d help, but don’t expect me to suddenly cut what you real Heroes can’t…

Anz: No, Yuzuki-san, your weapon’s might comes at the expense of how long it can be used for.

Ren: It only makes sense that each strike from it would be powerful.

Aka: A lot of spikes in its performance. It’ll be a fearsome weapon when mastered.

Yuz: I see.

Lil: A chainsaw, huh… I suppose it does fit you in a certain way, Yuzuki-kun.

Yuz: What was that, Lily?

Lil: Could you please not rev your chainsaw up as a threat!?

Kirameki no Shou 20-5

[Hero Club Room]

Yuz: So this is the clubroom.

Lil: We’ve returned, right? From the Jukai.

Mit: That’s right, that’s how it goes around here. Good work.

Wak: The enemies weren’t too challenging, so it was a fairly safe victory.

Hin: I’m happy to hear that. And good work out there, Lily-san and Yuzuki-san.

Uta: What a striking debut that was! I saw you take down the strong ones!

Kir: Oh, ain’t that nice!

Yos: Lilienthal-sama, Yuzuki-sama, both of you are great, formidable Heroes.

Lil: Ahaha, of course! Feel free to continue the praise!

Yuz: I’m not an actual Hero. So you don’t have to give me the “-sama” treatment like the others.

Yos: Anyone who fights to protect others is undoubtedly a Hero in my eyes. So I will show nothing but the highest respect to you.

Aki: Ahaha, sorry about that. This girl is a bit stiff like that.

Fuu: Well, that aside, what you really need to defeat strong enemies is to combine your own strengths.

SON: So you two make sure to talk to everyone and become good friends, alright?

Anz: That’ll put you on the same wavelength just like that… Right, Sonoko-sensei?

Yuz: I’m kind of tired. I’ll go rest up.

Nat: Yeah, that’s a good idea.

Kar: I like how straightforward Yuzuki is with her opinions, no confusion.

Lil: Right? I’m proud to call her a member of the Hero Club.

Aya: Lily-senpai, would you like some chilled barley tea?

Lil: Thanks, Aya-kun, I was feeling parched.

Aki: Oooh! When you line the two of them up, their cuteness rises even higher!

Fuu: You’re right, they are cute… But Itsuki is still the cutest, you know!

Its: Onee-chan, would you stop embarrassing me already…? Jeez.

Kirameki no Shou 20-6

[Yuzuki’s room]

Yuz: What’s the matter, Lily? It’s pretty late.

Lil: Couldn’t sleep, and it looks like neither could you. Up for a chat?

Yuz: Not particularly.

Yuz: And then you just barge in like it’s nothing.

Lil: I transformed into a Hero and cut Vertexes up! How could I sleep after that?

Lil: And I was there, side by side with THE great Nogi Wakaba! And Takashima Yuuna, who we both are named after!

Yuz: Where does that energy even come from?

Yuz: Maybe you should’ve gotten an exhausting transformation too.

Lil: Yuzuki-kun, was your Hero form that hard to be in?

Yuz: Not hard, but I’m tired. Just… tired, that’s all I can say.

Lil: Okay, I won’t overstay my welcome then. But let me say this.

Lil: I’m glad I got sent here together with you, Yuzuki-kun. Had I been alone, I would’ve been a walking ball of nerves.

Lil: I’m counting on you in this world as well. United in unison!

Yuz: Were you that nervous? I thought you were having a blast, especially with those lookalikes.

Lil: I am having fun, but I’m more confused than anything. But I’m managing.

Lil: And I realised that it’s in no small part thanks to your existence. So I wanted to thank you for it.

Yuz: I see… We have to work together to return to our world.

Yuz: So fair enough, you can count on me. And I’ll be counting on you.

Lil: Okay, now let’s deepen our bonds by chatting through the night!

Yuz: Outta here.
