YuYuYui - Interlocked Brilliance of the Brave Blades - 1

[Hero Club Room]

Tam: It’s rare for Hinata’s group to be calling us. Wakaba, do you know anything about it?

Wak: No. However, from her tone when I talked with her earlier, I think it must be good news.

Anz: When Wakaba-san says that, it sounds convincing.

Fuu: I didn’t expect Wakaba to be showing off her love for her so naturally... Nice work!

Hin: Hehe. This is also the result of my education.

Wak: Wait. I don’t recall Hinata ever educating me.

Fuu: Well, regarding that, it depends on how you look at it. I would like to go back to the main topic, please.

Hin: I understand. In that case, Aya-san, please.

Aya: Yes. A little while ago, we received an oracle. We have new Miko allies on the way...!

Kar: So it is reinforcement. Do you know how many people will be arriving this time?

Kir: Looks like three Mikos will be coming. We got a sudden Miko boom about to happen

Chi: Three Mikos in one go? That’s rare.

Tak: I wonder what kind of people will be coming. I can’t wait.

Tak: ...We have gathered to greet the new Mikos, but they aren’t coming.

Chi: No matter how long we waited, there’s no sign they are coming. I can’t even see a glimmer of light right now.

Mit: Gotten lost... no, there’s no such thing. I wonder what happened?

Tam: To begin with, when there’s such oracle, do they come immediately?

Fuu: It’s okay to wait until they come. Waiting while drinking tea.

Kar: ...rather than Mikos, it appears that it’s the Vertexes who came.

Wak: I guess I will do my duty before the Mikos arrive.

[Jukai]

Etou Kanami: Haa! ...I can’t defeat them. What are exactly these things? Do you know, Shidou-san?

Shidou Maki: It is my first time with this place and these monsters. They are completely different from the Aradama...!

Shidou Maki: Khuu... Thanks to Utsushi, we can stay undamaged, but at this rate...!

Juujou Hiyori: Even so, we can do nothing but fight.

Mak: Wait... Juujou! Don’t rush in alone.

Juu: Yaa!

Etou Kanami: Right now, since Hiyori-chan has decided to dive in, you would think that we are doing some real damage, but...

Sum: Please look over there! Someone is fighting the Vertexes with Japanese swords!

Wak: But, I think the attacks of those three aren’t taking down any Vertexes.

Fuu: I’m really curious, but we are going to assist them for now!

Mak: There’s really... no end to this.

Tam: You look troubled. However, Tama has come, so it will be fine! Leave it ta ma!

Eto: Eh? What do you mean?

Anz: We will take care of the Vertexes, so please, don’t worry.

Mak: But... no, I understand.

Anz: Leave the support to me, Tamacchi-senpai.

Tam: Yeah! But, don’t force yourself as well.

SON: I will watch over the three who have come to the Jukai and keep them away from danger, so everyone, go for it~.

Fuu: Thanks, Nogi. In that case, let’s get this over with!

Hiy: They... are they specialists in the extermination of those monsters?

Eto: Yeah. I think that might be it.

Mak: We couldn’t manage to beat them no matter how many times we attack them... but they are steadily taking them down.

Part 2

[Jukai]

Chi: That should be all of the invading Vertexes this time.

Eto: Wow, you all are amazing! We couldn’t beat them at all.

Mak: Yeah. Your arrival really saved us. If you guys weren’t here, it would have be really dangerous.

Fuu: It’s nothing. It’s our duty as Heroes to defeat the Vertexes.

Eto: The Heroes, who beat Vertexes, she says! That sounds cool. They are really strong too.

Juu: I’m surprised that there are gross monsters other than Aradama such as Vertex.

Eto: I didn’t know at all until now.

Mak: Speaking of didn’t know, where are we? It’s my first time seeing this strange sight.

Mak: It seems necessary to sort out the situation once and for all...

Eto: When we noticed, we are already here after all. We encountered the Vertexes suddenly too.

Shi: Could they be the three people the Mikos Kokudo and the others talked about?

Sum: There’s a possibility of that. This happened immediately after Hinata-san and the others accepted the oracle after all.

Fuu: Not that I intended to abandon them in the first place, but given the situation, Shizuku's idea is very plausible.

Fuu: Excuse me, but we would like to exchange information, so would you come with us?

Fuu: We can talk at length in our base.

Mak: Thank you for your offer. Honestly, we're completely out of our depth here.

Mak: Etou and Juujou, you’re fine with that, right?

Eto: Yes.

Juu: I also have no objection.

[Hero Club Room]

Eto: Thank you for the tea. We finally can take a breather.

Aya: I’m glad to hear that.

SON: So I think that’s all about this world~.

SON: I will summarize it one final time, one: We were invaded by hostile creatures called Vertexes.

SON: Two: As a result of that, although this country is called Japan, right now, it is a world where only Shikoku exist.

SON: Three: Vertexes can only be defeated by Heroes who have received Shinju-sama’s divine protection.

Juu: ...Heroes and Vertexes huh.

Juu: Aradama can only be subdued by Toji that carry Okatana. It is a little similar to the relationship between Aradama and Toji.

Mak: However...I can’t believe it for a second.

Mak: The population outside of Shikoku has ceased to exist, and even now Vertexes are still carrying out incessant onslaught...

Juu: On the other hand, those monsters, called Vertexes, are in a mysterious space called the Jukai...

Juu: It doesn’t exist in the world we were previously in. The existence of Heroes included.

Eto: When I woke up in the Jukai, I was really glad that Shidou-san and Hiyori-chan were close to me.

Eto: I don’t really understand, but it’s okay to say that we have come to a different world than we were usually in, right?

SON: Yes. It is exactly as Kanamin said.

Mak: Let’s say that everything you told us is the truth, why are we in this world?

Juu: It really was so sudden. I really don’t know the reason.

Hin: About that, it is our turn to talk. We know the direct reason why you have come to this world.

Part 3

[Hero Club Room]

Hin: Shinju-sama that Sonoko-san has briefly mentioned not long ago have summoned you three as “Miko” to this world.

Hin: We know this as a certain fact. We have been imparted with an oracle after all.

Eto: But, why “Miko”? We are Toji, not Miko.

Juu: No, we probably can’t say there’s completely no correlation at all.

Eto: What do you mean?

Juu: Usually it is ignored, but a Toji is a Miko of the gods who was approved by an Okatana.

Juu: The fact that Toji can purify an Aradama too, could be because they are a Miko.

Mak: It’s true that when you consider the history of Toji and the course of the founding, what Juujou said is not off the mark...

Juu: Okatana carries enough divinity to purify an Aradama. When you think about that....

Juu: This incident may be the result of the attraction of the Okatanas we carry to “Shinju”.

Mak: We still don’t know a lot about the relation between Okatana and the Netherworld. Yukari-sama also said this before...

Hin: I think that guess has a really high plausibility.

Eto: So that’s how it is. However, why did Shinju-sama call us?

Wak: Did the oracle say something about it? Hinata.

Hin: I’m sorry. As for the concrete goal... we still don’t know.

Aya: All the Mikos were pondering it, but... it still wasn’t enough.

Mak: If we don’t know what to do, it sounds like it will take some time.

Juu: What a troublesome god, good grief.

Eto: Hiyori-chan, don’t talk like that.

Chi: Well, you guys got caught up in this, so that’s natural.

Mak: If we can’t go home immediately... let’s think about what we should do from now on.

Fuu: Right here! I have a proposal for you three.

Fuu: For now, how about becoming Hero Club members and doing activities together with us?

Fuu: You don’t need to worry about food and shelter, so please don’t worry about it.

Eto: Really!? Thank you very much! Umm... what was your name again?

Fuu: I’m Inubouzaki Fuu. We prioritized explaining the situation first, so we haven’t introduced ourselves.

Mak: I would like to thank you too. Inubouzaki-san, thank you.

Fuu: The reason you are here seems to be from this side, so we should provide you with at least this much.

Wak: Not knowing each other’s names would be inconvenient, so let’s introduce ourselves first.

Wak: I’m Nogi Wakaba, 2nd year of middle school. Nice to meet you. My hobby is, let’s see... training I think.

Tak: Next is me! I’m Takashima Yuuna. I’m in 2nd year of middle school, the same as Wakaba-chan.

Tak: Then, Gun-chan, continue continue! There are a lot of people in the Hero Club, so we have to pick up the pace!

Chi: If Takashima-san says so... Koori Chikage...3rd year of middle school. Nice to meet you.

Part 4

[Hero Club Room]

Nat: Kohagura Natsume, 3rd year of middle school. I like the sea. I like both swimming in it and gazing at it...

Eto: She said Kohagura, Hiyori-chan!

Juu: So there’s something like that too.

Nat: ...? What is there?

Eto: Actually, we also have a friend with the same surname, Kohagura. So I unintentionally.

Nat: Kohagura is a common surname in Okinawa, but I almost never met anyone with the same surname.

Nat: I sense a strange connection... I would like to meet that friend of yours.

Eto: If that’s the case, it would be nice if Ellen-chan came here too.

Its: And with Natsume-san’s self introduction, this is the end of our self-introductions.

Eto: I heard there are a lot, but I didn’t expect there to be close to 30 people.

Tou: It’s surprising, isn’t it? It is an abnormally big family.

Eto: So then, it is our turn now!

Eto: 2nd year middle school of Minoseki Academy, Etou Kanami. My hobby is swordsmanship! It’s a pleasure to meet you!

Juu: I’m Juujou Hiyori. Nice to meet you.

Juu: ..........

Eto: That’s it!? It can’t be helped....

Eto: Hiyori-chan is one grade above mine, and she likes chocolate mint.

Juu: Kanami, don’t say unnecessary things.

Eto: But if you were to think about Hiyori-chan, it is chocolate mint, isn’t it?

Juu: Don’t talk as if I’m equal to chocolate mint.

Eto: Sorry, sorry.

Chi: Chocolate mint... not a bad taste. I eat it sometimes.

Juu: ...!? So people here understand its greatness too.

Eto: Hiyori-chan looks kind of happy.

Mak: Etou. Will it be fine if I settle my self introduction soon?

Eto: Ahaha, I’m sorry. Shidou-san, please.

Mak: Shidou Maki, a member of Sword Administration Bureau, 2nd grade of high school. Nice to meet you.

Mak: I don’t have any particular hobby, but I train every day without fail.

Mak: And then, it isn’t a part of my self-introduction, but let me talk about Toji a little.

Mak: We, Toji, have a duty to exterminate the gross creatures called Aradama.

Mak: It is written with “blade” and “use”, and you read it as Toji.

Wak: I see, so that’s how you spell it.

Wak: When Juujou-san talked about Toji purifying Aradama with Okatana, I became curious about how to spell Toji.

Fuu: I still want to hear more about you, but that can wait until later. We are going to decide on today’s club activity.

Fuu: After this, let’s clean up the dorm rooms the three people will use together!

Aya: I sometimes clean the vacant rooms in the dorm, so you can use them immediately.

Hin: Thank you very much. As expected of Aya-san.

Fuu: In that case, Tamako and Anzu, go with Yuuna and the others and get the daily supply of necessities.

Tam: Leave it to me. While I’m at it, Tama will handpick and buy a lot of sweets so that any guests will feel welcome!

Fuu: Then I will let you guys shop with Tama’s pocket money.

Tam: What-!?

Anz: We have confirmed what we need to buy before shopping, so let’s go, Tamacchi-senpai.

Fuu: Sumi and Tougou, and also Karin, please prepare the futons and such.

Tou: I understand. Let’s go, Sumi-chan, Karin-chan.

Fuu: And then--.

Fuu: With this, I have finished giving out directions. I think the rooms will be usable in a short moment.

Mak: I'm really sorry about everything.

Mak: I can see the Hero Club members move smoothly under your direction too.

Fuu: That’s because everyone knows what they need to do. It's not the first time we've had reinforcements like this.

Fuu: If I make a mistake, there will be girls who will make up for it.

Eto: That sounds like a really good team.

Fuu: It’s the Hero Club I’m proud of after all. Shidou-san and the others too, if you have any problem, don't hesitate and just ask!
