Urara, Secrets, and a Farewell Party

-Opening sequence-
Precious feelings, which no one should ever find out...

-Challenge tab-
Yuna: "Diabolo, was it... Urara seems to be great with it, but how does she perform with it, I wonder..."

-Ex Challenge tab-
Rabi: "Urara's performances are always so moving they make me wish I had a special skill of my own."
==============

-1-

Urara
Mm...
Where...
Ah, that's right...
I'm hospitalized in Futatsugi...
…………
(...I tried, but couldn't protect Sakuya-san.)
(In fact...)

-Flashback-

Yuna
I only recently came to realize you're acting as a spy.
But, if anything, I would say you're hiding,
concealing yourself in secrecy, so everyone has been carefully watching you...

-End Flashback-

Urara
(Promised Blood caught on that)
(I'm a part of Folklore of Zero...)
Haa... Nothing's going right...

[～～♪～～♪]

Urara
Could that be Rabi-san...!?
(I gotta ask what we're doing from here on...)
...Wait, what? It's Yuna-san...?

-Phone Call-

Yuna
Hello. Are you doing well today...?

Urara
Yeah, I have nothing to do so I've just been nappin' instead!

Yuna
Huhu...I see...

Urara
So uh...Yuna-san, was there something I can help you with...?

Yuna
Actually...
I was thinking of holding a farewell party for you later.

Urara
――っ!? W-why...
I'm a spy who broke into Promised Blood, remember!?

Yuna
Correct, which is why I won't reveal your identity to the other girls.
And why I'm thinking of just inviting the VIPs to see you off...

Urara
But, why me...

Yuna
You risked your life to save a friend, didn't you...
I want to thank you for that.
At least let me say farewell to you...

Urara
...Sorry, but I'm gonna have to decline a farewell party.

Yuna
Ohh...?
Here I thought you would be absolutely pleased to hear this...

Urara
Of course I'm happy to hear how you feel, Yuna-san.
But I decided I'm going to leave Promised Blood,
plus I'm an outsider to begin with.
So it wouldn't be right to be involved anymore...

Yuna
Right...how unfortunate...

Urara
I'm really sorry...

Yuna
Don't worry about it...
Well then, take care, Urara.

-End Phone Call-

Urara
…………

[*Shut*]

Kagome
Is your call over...?

Urara
Ah, Kagome-chan...

Kagome
I came back after the examination,
but you seemed like you were in the middle of something, so...

Urara
Sorry I had to trouble ya, but I'm all done.
(It's...already ending.)


-2-

Urara
How's your wound?

Kagome
It's getting better, but it seems I'm going to be hospitalized a little longer.
I would like to be discharged
and get back to interviewing all the mahou shoujo, though...

Urara
...Don't be pushin' yourself so hard.
If something's going on in Futatsugi,
all the Promised Blood girls will come tell you when they check up on you,
so there's no rush.

Kagome
Yeah... Thank you, Urara-chan.

Urara
...I understand too, the feeling of being unable to do anything...

Kagome
You're right...
You want to get back too, don't you. To Kureha-san and everyone...

Urara
...Nope, I'm Folklore of Zero,
so it'll be back to Rabi-san's group.

Kagome
Ah...so you are...
But to everyone in Promised Blood, you're...

Urara
Besides Yuna-san, I haven't revealed who I am to anyone,
and I don't intend to.

Kagome
I see...
But maybe that is for the best, you know...
I've heard that Futatsugi is in chaos now...

Urara
…………

Kagome
…………
Um, may I ask something about you, Urara-chan...?

Urara
You talkin' 'bout an interview? If so, I don't really mind.
Back in Yukuni, I formed a street performance duo
and did radio entertainment,
so I'm used to interviews. I could even tell ya some funny episodes about my house!

Kagome
Um, I'd love to hear all about that too, but...
Urara-chan,
why did you infiltrate Promised Blood?

Urara
S-so that's what ya meant!
You're into interviewing mahou shoujo,
so of course you wouldn't care about funny episodes!

Kagome
Huhu... You can tell me about them later.

Urara
Let's see...the reason I infiltrated Promised Blood...

-Flashback-

Rabi
To watch over the conflict in Kamihama, Asahi, Sasha, Urara,
I want you to infiltrate each group and spy on their tendencies.

Urara
Gotcha!

Rabi
I was requested by the professor
to stay close to his daughter, Nayuta, to ensure no harm comes to her.

Asahi
I carry the blood of the Tokime Clan in my body.
As I was just summoned by the head
I believe I am qualified to infiltrate them.

Rabi
Indeed, please do.
Sasha, taking your character and method of fighting into account,
I think Neo Magius suits you best.
However, Neo Magius has no stability as a group.
If you're not careful, they may disappear before the full-scale conflict occurs.

Alexandra
I understand. I'll watch over them as carefully as I can♪

Urara
Then that leaves me...

Rabi
I would like you to infiltrate Promised Blood.

Urara
That group seems to never stop with the fighting. I'm worried I won't be able to do it...

Rabi
There is a reason I'm nominating you, Urara.
You haven't been a mahou shoujo for long,
but you've been athletic from the start, and you've grown fast,
and on top of that, you're great at adapting and likable by everyone.
Out of all of us, I think you'll fit in with Futatsugi the most.

Urara
If you say so, Rabi-san...

Rabi
You may be anxious,
but they shouldn't make a newcomer do anything reckless.
Besides, after the incident...
You're being transferred to an affiliated school, aren't you?

Urara
Ah...yeah...

Rabi
That school is close to Futatsugi and has a dormitory.
I think spying on Promised Blood will be a fairly easy activity.

-End Flashback-

Kagome
Heeh... So it was Himuro-san's idea, then.

Urara
Rabi-san is reliable,
but once in a while she'll say something that makes me jump...

Kagome
But I think Himuro-san's prediction was spot on.
When I was interviewing Promised Blood,
everyone was praising you,
saying that Urara-chan is so dedicated despite the difficulties and has grown so much.

Urara
Well, I AM valued for my energy and perseverance.

Kagome
So you must have fit into the group right away.

Urara
Well... There were lots of problems too...


-3-

-Flashback-

Juri
Oi, rookie,
you bring back the manga I left at Nee-san's house?

Urara
Of course I did!

Juri
...Hey, ain't this the first series of "Greedy Sensei"!?
I told ya to go fetch the second series!

Urara
Ah – shoot...!
I was told to bring the first series
of "Super Cosmos Palace"...

Juri
God damn, what're you doing?

Urara
S-sorry about that...
...But, I'll get it right next time!
I'll do more important duties to be more useful to the group!

Juri
You sayin' bringing Juri-sama's manga ain't important?

Urara
I-it's...important?

Juri
...If this builds up my stress and makes me explode,
then everyone's gonna be well done!

Urara
Hiiie~!

Sakuya
Cut it out, Juri! Picking on the junior, how pathetic.

Sakuya
You okay? You don't have to worry about her.

Urara
Ah, umm... Suzuka-san...

Sakuya
Sakuya's fine.
You only just joined Promised Blood
and you look depressed with nothing but odd jobs to do.

Urara
Ah – I let it show on my face...

Sakuya
You're pretty easy to read.
But don't worry, you'll be given important tasks in no time.

Urara
Really, I will!?

Sakuya
...To be honest, not all my tasks have been things to puff out my chest about either...

Urara
No matter!
Whatever they make me do, it was my decision to join!

Juri
Then on your way back from getting my manga go buy some sweets for me too.
Here, some change for it.

Sakuya
Quit makin' her your gofer.

Hikaru
She's right!
Workin' people for personal matters -
You'll ruin the dignity o' the Three Sisters who built this group!

Ranka
You should go hit up the conbini with the newbie.
I'm starving.

Hikaru
HAA...Hikaru's got other places to shop at, so I'll go while I'm at it,
but only this once, got it!?
Urara, lesgo together!

Urara
Ah – okay...!

-End Flashback-

Urara
I was the youngest in the group,
so they threw all their chores onto me, makin' it hard to investigate them.

Kagome
It must be a...strict pecking order or something.
But, Kirari-san and Suzuka-san helped you, didn't they?

Urara
Yeah...
I used to think they were scary,
but they're no different than me, just girls.
Sometimes they'd talk on and on.

Kagome
So it was thanks to everyone at Promised Blood
that you got to fit in.
They must have been really good to you.

Urara
Ah.....yeah...
(I was a member of the group, so they were nice to me...)
(And yet I'm a spy... I've been tricking them this whole time...)


-4-

Urara
Kagome-chan, Kagome-chan! They finally decided on a discharge date!

Kagome
Congrats.
Will you tell everyone in Promised Blood the discharge date...?

Urara
...I'm not telling them.
I'm an onlooker from Folklore of Zero.
I'm done with Promised Blood, so they're not my concern anymore.

Kagome
Right...

Urara
…………

Kagome
(She's going to feel lonely,)
(so I wonder if she's holding back on saying what she really feels...)
Um, what are you going to do once you're discharged, Urara-chan?

Urara
My role as a spy is over, so I'll go back to Rabi-san and the rest.

Kagome
You're going to leave without meeting Kureha-san and all of Promised Blood...?

Urara
I planned on being through with them the day Yuna-san came to check on me...

Kagome
I see...
(Urara-chan, you look reluctant to, though...)

[*Knock, knock*]

Rabi
Urara.

Urara
Rabi-san!?
You came all the way out to Futatsugi!?

Rabi
I was worried about you.

Urara
Ah... I'm really sorry.
I...there was someone I really wanted to protect...

Rabi
I believe I know what happened, and I don't blame you for your decision, Urara.
But I want you to be careful with your life.

Urara
Yeah... I cross my heart.

Rabi
I'm glad that Satori Kagome is safe as well.

Kagome
Ah...yes... Thank you very much...!
Um...do you need me to leave...?

Rabi
I don't mind you being here.
I have no notable information to give, though I will be talking about mahou shoujo.

Kagome
I understand...

Rabi
Urara, how is your health?

Urara
I'm able to move around a lot and my discharge date got set.

Rabi
I see, that's great.
And regarding Promised Blood?

Urara
The entire group is
on their way to cooperating with Union.
Yuna-san has steered the ship towards a policy of cooperating with Kamihama Magia Union,
though some are opposed to it...

Rabi
I see...
If the school you go to has yet to be exposed,
I think you could take advantage of the turmoil within the group opposing them
and quietly make your exit.

Urara
…………

Rabi
What's wrong?

Urara
No one knows about my school, but...
Yuna-san found out that I've been spying in her group...
I'm really sorry I didn't report it to you right away...

Rabi
It's no matter.
What did Kureha Yuna say to you?

Urara
That she somehow realized it, but didn't do anything about it and just kept an eye on me.
She told me she didn't have a problem with me leaving the group.

Rabi
Oh... That is a surprise, but a good one.
Then there are no issues, and you can leave Futatsugi later.

Urara
…………

Rabi
...Urara,
can you really leave Promised Blood?

Urara
Eh – yeah.
Like I told ya, Yuna-san gave me her permission.

Rabi
...That's only for Promised Blood's convenience.
I don't mind if you come back
once you've drawn the line in your own way.

Urara
Drawn the line... What do ya mean by that, Rabi-san?

Rabi
Before anything else, you should realize
that you still have a bit more time.

Urara
.....?

Kagome
(Himuro-san also noticed how Urara-chan is feeling...)


-5-

<The next day>

Urara
Suuu... Haaa~~~!
Sweet outside air, how I've missed you.
...Ah-
(Soon everyone in Futatsugi is going to come check in on Kagome-chan.)
(And I have plans to meet with Rabi-san and everyone in Kamihama...)
(So I'd better get to Kamihama before I bump into them.)

---

Urara
Ah...!

PB Girl (left)
Urara!? Oh, so you've been discharged already.

PB Girl (right)
Congrats!

Urara
T-thanks a lot...
(I was careless...!)
(To think they'd be gathered together at this time of day...)

PB Girl
Perfect timing. Urara, come join us.

Urara
Eh, eh? Something goin' on soon...?

PB Girl
Meeting with the Ryuugasaki gang.
Seems there's still some bitching about Yuna-san's decision.

PB Girl 2
Yuna-san's busy,
so we Torayamachi mahou shoujo accepted the discussions in her stead.

PB Girl 3
I know you haven't kept up with current events since you've been hospitalized,
so this is a good opportunity to show you.
Come on, get over here.

Urara
Wawa-!?
(I ended up getting dragged into this!)

---

Green
...Seems Yuna-san's missing, however?

Yellow
Yuna-san is busy.
If it's just you Ryuugasaki punks we have to deal with,
then we should be enough.

Green 2
Heeh...you're underestimating us.

Urara
C-calm down...! There's no need to fight...!

Green
I'm sure a rookie like you wouldn't know this, Urara,
but we Ryuugasaki, who are led by Juri-san,
and Torayamachi, led by Kureha Yuna, have been opposed for a long time.
We've killed each other and held grudges against one another,
but we united to take care of our grudge against Kamihama.
And yet Kureha Yuna's proposed we now cooperate with Union.
It makes me sick.

Yellow
The hell'd you say...!?

Urara
Uu...letting this heat up more wouldn't be smart...!
(If Promised Blood splits up,)
(The situation in Kamihama will change again, away from settling down...!)
(Maybe when Rabi-san told me to draw the line,)
(she meant stop them from splitting up...?)
(In that case...!)
Like I JUST said! There's no need to fight!

Green
And you don't even know about the Blood Tragedy. Shut your damn mouth!

Urara
…………！

Yuna's Voice
That's far enough, Urara...

Urara
――っ!?
Yuna-san and Hikaru-san...!? Why're you here...!?

Yuna
Another girl had contacted me, wanting me to mediate.
...I see you were discharged without incident, Urara.

Urara
Ah...
I'm really sorry 'bout that... I didn't even call you...

Yuna
It's fine.

Hikaru
Now, first thing's you're both gonna calm down and talk things out.

Green
…………

Urara
Um, Yuna-san... I...

Yuna
~ This is Futatsugi's problem... ~
~ Urara, you don't have to worry about this anymore... ~

Urara
~ Ah... ~

Yuna
~ If you have other business, it's okay to go. ~
~ Hikaru and I can take it from here. ~

Urara
~ ...I got you... ~
…………

---

Urara
I feel a bit lonely, but...
I'm not a member of Promised Blood anymore...
Mediating isn't my role...
…………
Rabi-san...
How do you draw the line...?


-6-

Urara
.....Ah...
(Before I could even figure out what the line is, I'm already at Futatsugi Station...)
…………
(If I get on this train,)
(I can't come see everyone in Futatsugi anymore...)
(That's gotta be the line...)
…………
Goodbye, Yuna-san... All of Promised Blood...
Thanks for taking care of me...

<Kamihama City>

Urara
Huu... Finally here.
(And there's still time to meet up with Rabi-san and the group,)
(so guess I'll kill time somewhere.)

---

Urara
Wait...this, this isn't Minaminagi Ward!?
(I was thinking so hard, I mistakenly got off at the wrong station...!)
Uu...
(I wasted my train fare, AND I have to go walk to the base...)

---

[*Boom...Boom...!* *Snap snap...vweee...!*]
[Waah...!]

Urara
Hm?
(Fireworks and cheering...?)

Old Lady
What's this?
It's not even festival season and there's partying going on, isn't there?

Old Man
A school nearby's having some competition, I heard.

Old Lady
Near here... Ahh, Kamihama University's Affiliated School?

Urara
…………
(That school – I'm sure that's where Sakuya-san transferred to...)
(I'm sure I've heard of a competition at Kamihama University Affiliated School before.)
.....Ah-

-Flashback-

Urara
Sakuya-san! You're way past the meeting time!

Sakuya
Sorry I'm late!

Hikaru
You've been slow gettin' here lately. Somethin' happen?

Sakuya
Our school's holding a track competition soon,
so everyone's staying late to try to get some good times in.

Urara
Heeh~! Now that's an experience of youth!

Sakuya
Yeah, that's why I'm so into guiding the juniors...

Ranka
You DO know you went to Kamihama to infiltrate their numbers, right?

Sakuya
...I know.
I'm not going to the competition
because my top priority is Promised Blood work.

-End Flashback-

Urara
That's right...
The competition Sakuya-san was talking about... That's today...
…………
(Sakuya-san...)
…………
(I couldn't protect such a kind person...)
…………
(...It may be for my own satisfaction, but I'd like to think this is a chance opportunity...)
(I'm going to stop by this competition Sakuya-san was so passionate about, and I'm gonna watch them.)

---

Urara
This is the school Sakuya-san went to...
(Even during a competition I'm still an outsider, so I need to not stand out.)

---

[Next is the final event of the day, the relay. Now presenting the participating schools.]

Urara
(Looks like... This is the last match of the competition.)
(...Ah, Sakuya-san's school is participating too.)

[On your mark, set...]
[*Bang!*]

Urara
Fight on...!

Boy (Blue)
Dang, that's Kamihama University Affiliated School.
When did they get so fast?

Boy (Green)
And they're pretty tenacious...! Ah - they're at the top!?

Urara
Ah...!
(Amazing...! They finished first place!)
(That tenacity... They're just like Sakuya-san.)
Ah-...

Ryouko
...Ouch...

Chika
Is your wound hurting...?
I knew you should have rested...

Ryouko
This ain't nothing.
I had to see what she left behind with my own eyes, after all.

Urara
Tokime Clan's...Natsu Ryouko and Aoba Chika...!?
(What are they doing here...?)


-7-

[The overall winning team is Kamihama University Affiliated High School! Congratulations!]

Girl (Pink)
Hurray!

Girl (Purple)
We're the overall winners...
Until now we've only ever placed...

Girl (Blue)
It's all because Sakuya-san stayed late every day
to help us practice, you know.
I'm sure she would be overjoyed to hear the results...

Girl (Purple)
Where did you go? Sakuya-san...

Girl (Pink)
Don't worry, I'm sure they'll find her!

Girl (Purple)
You're right...
Let's keep at it like we always do so we can welcome her back with pride!

Girl (Blue)
Yeah...!

Girl (Pink)
Hey, it's time for the award ceremony. Let's go.

Urara
…………
(Sakuya-san's juniors...)
(I'm sure they've believed in her and worked their hardest for today...)
(And they wanted to show it to her too...)
(And yet...!)
(It's because of Natsu Ryouko that Sakuya-san is...)

[*Clench...*]

Urara
…………！
(Even though it's already healed, the wound from protecting Sakuya-san is hurting...)

Ryouko
Aahh.
That Sakuya. Even though she was a spy, she left so many footprints behind.
You put your cart before the horse, didn't ya.

Urara
――っ!?
(Natsu Ryouko knows about Sakuya-san...!?)

Chika
Um, Ryouko-san...
What was your relation to Suzuka-san?

Ryouko
Dear friend.

Chika
...Eh-!? With a Promised Blood person!?

Ryouko
Guess you didn't hear anything I just said.

Chika
Well...I'm curious now that you have said that...

Ryouko
...'Course you would.
...She transferred to this school to infiltrate Kamihama.
Though she knew she wasn't 'spose to stand out,
after she went and made a grand showin' in the track club,
she left such passion behind...
Honestly, what was she doing...

Chika
...I'm sure she just couldn't lie. She must have been a kind person...

Ryouko
...Ahh, you're right about that.

Chika
...She must have wanted to show you, right? Just how impressive her juniors are...

Ryouko
...When I get to the Pure Land, I ain't holdin' back on tellin' ya all about
the passion ya left behind that your juniors inherited.

Urara
…………
(...Sakuya-san's not here anymore...)
(But her feelings are... Still alive and well inside us all.)

[We will now hold the award ceremony.]
[Presenting the cup and certificates of honor to the winning team.]

Urara
Certificate of honor...
(Mm...I feel like I heard that mentioned before...)

-Flashback-

Sakuya
Urara... If anything ever happens to me,
you think you could take one of my certificates of honor
from Yuna's house, as a memento?

Urara
A memento – that's bad luck!
Also, why me?

Sakuya
Because, Yuna and Hikaru know me too well
and I'm too embarrassed to entrust them with such a thing.

Urara
...I don't mind doing it for you.

Sakuya
Thanks.
Well...I guess it doesn't matter if you do get it or not,
it's just, even if it's only one person, I want someone to remember me.

-End Flashback-

Urara
(I never once heard about that since then, and I thought she was just joking with me, but...)
(...Even if I remembered now, I can't go accept it for her...)

Ryouko
Thanks for comin' out with me.

Chika
No...I'm just glad I was able to help.

Ryouko
Think it's about time we head home.

Urara
(...It's about time for me, too.)
(I still need to get to Rabi-san's place...)
...I'm glad I got to see the competition today.
...Thank you, Sakuya-san.
...Goodbye.


-8-

Urara
Rabi-san, you sure it's okay to let the professor and Nayuta-san go home?
If we're gonna be talking about what happens next we shoulda had them stay.

Rabi
Because we're not talking about what's next, we're talking about you.

Urara
Me...?

Rabi
Yes, I wanted to ask if you've drawn the line.

Urara
Well... Actually I uh, still don't really get what that means...

Rabi
I see...

Alexandra
I heard what was going on from Rabi-chan.
Did you get to say goodbye to the three sisters of Promised Blood?

Urara
There was a fight going on right then, so I didn't really get to...

Asahi
It is fine if you've come to accept it, however...

Urara
You say that, Asahi-san, but how about you?

Asahi
I revealed my identity to all of the head family.
Furthermore, I said my farewells to the Tokime Clan.

Alexandra
I also told Hime-chan who I really am and told her goodbye.

Urara
In that case, I...
I...
...Yuna-san found out who I was, making it all awkward...
So I didn't get to say goodbye.

Rabi
As I thought...

Urara
Drawing the line - does that mean saying goodbye to Yuna-san and everyone
and getting rid of this feeling of uncertainty?

Rabi
I do not have an answer to that question.
The only one who can produce an answer is you, Urara.

Urara
Uu...you and your riddles...

[*Ring♪*]

Urara
Hm...
It's a message from a Promised Blood girl...

Asahi
You are still receiving messages from them?

Urara
Ah, yeah...because I didn't tell her I left Promised Blood...
But the way things are I shouldn't be accepting messages.
.....Eh?
T-this is bad...!

Alexandra
What's wrong?

Urara
She says that to decide on the group's policy,
Yuna-san and Juri-san are gonna duel!

Alexandra
Eh - did Promised Blood not decide
that they would join Union...?

Urara
They were supposed to...!
But some girls were opposed to Yuna-san's desire to cooperate with Union,
so it wasn't monolithic...

Rabi
Perhaps Ooba Juri intends to gather the opposing force and kill Kureha Yuna...

Urara
(If Yuna-san and Juri-san really do go all out,)
(Neither of them'll be safe...)
(And once again, someone will lose their life...!)

Asahi
...Does it worry you?

Urara
Eh-...
I just don't want another mahou shoujo losin' their life...

Asahi
That cannot be the only reason.

Urara
…………

Rabi
If you're concerned, then you may go to Futatsugi.

Urara
But I already decided I'm not seein' them anymore...!

Rabi
Then you intend on carrying unresolved regrets for those girls...?

Urara
Uu.....
(I'm worried about everyone in Promised Blood...)
(I can't deny this feeling anymore...)
(So then, I will...)
If getting rid of any regrets I have about everyone in Promised Blood
is what you mean by drawing the line...
...Then I'm going. Just this once, back to Futatsugi...

-9-

<The next day>
<Futatsugi City>

Urara
I'm so late...
(The offshoot mirrors got wiped out.)
(It's so inconvenient having only a train for transportation...)
Eh...why are you here...!?

Iroha
You are... Umm, Urara-chan...?

Urara
What do you want in Futatsugi?

Iroha
Ah... Ahaha, nothing major...
Actually, could I ask you for directions, Urara-chan...?

Urara
Sorry to jet, but I'm in a hurry...!
Hope you figure out how your smartphone map app works!

Iroha
Eh, ah, but...!
She's gone...

---

Urara
………
(Yuna-san and Juri-san's duel should be down in the catacombs...)
(It's already starting... Gotta move...!)

---

Juri
So what! That ain't a reason to stop our revenge!

Yuna
Gu-...

Urara
Ah...!
(They're really fighting...)

Ao
Oh~? Urara's late~

Urara
Ao-san...!

Ao
But you did show up at the perfect time. Things are about to get interesting.

Urara
Why aren't you stopping them...!?
Don't you understand!? At this rate one of them could die!

Ao
There's nothing we can do, isn't there?

Urara
Eh-...!?

Ao
After all, Nee-sama and Nee-chan both have something they won't give up on,
And besides, they're already about to have this settled. Tehe.

Urara
What happens when they're settled...!?

Ao
If Nee-sama wins,
Promised Blood joins hands with Union,
and if Nee-chan wins, we continue the war against Union.

Urara
Continue the war – but there's no reason to...!
No one can be saved, and mahou shoujo can't run from fate...
We're nothing...!

Ao
A war for revenge is pointless. Eeeveryone knows that~
That's why I'll change the way Futatsugi is now.

Urara
Eh-... Hold on, Ao-san...!?
(Ao-san...didn't she look a little strange...!?)

Juri
Alright, today's the day I'm sinking my fangs into yaaa!!

Yuna
っ, HaaAAA-!!

Juri
UraaAH-!!

Urara
(The way things are goin', one of them really is gonna die...!)
(I have to stop them... I have to...!)
…………！
(But I'm not a part of Futatsugi...)
(I... What should I do...!)

Juri
The hell's this bloodlust...!

Yuna
No, it's not just that... It feels like something more is mixed in...
It can't be – this magic reaction...

Ao
You're kidding... Why at a time like this...

Iroha
O-oh-... I'm sorry. I didn't expect all of you to be here.
Were you perhaps... In the middle of something...?

Urara
Tamaki...Iroha...!?


-10-

Ao
Ahh, what a let-down~ I thought we would've reached the end~

Urara
No one lost their life in the end, though!?
We can only thank Tamaki Iroha for that.

Ao
Well, maybe you're right~

Urara
Ao-san, aren't you gonna go see Tamaki Iroha off?

Ao
I'll have to pass; I'm getting kinda tired.

Urara
...You don't seem happy at all that things settled back into peace.

Ao
Happy~?
Union's leader came all the way to visit graves
so everyone's fighting spirit's been dropped.

Urara
I don't know why, but there's thorns in the way you said that...

Ao
...Because of Tamaki Iroha, everything's ruined.

Urara
Um, what were you planning for...?

Ao
I was going to pay back my debt and knock them both out
of their pointless fight, but it ended in failure~

Urara
…………
(Is that really all...?)
(It was only for a moment, but... I felt intent to kill coming from Ao-san...)

Ao
Well, this brought everyone back together,
so I guess this result's alright~

Urara
For sure. I want them to be happy!
(As a bystander, I couldn't stop their fight,)
(so Tamaki Iroha coming here really saved them...)

Ao
What are you so happy about, Urara?
You were our spy,
so it doesn't matter what happens to us, right~?

Urara
――っ!?
Ao-san, you knew too...?

Ao
Cat's out of the bag~
If you have somewhere else to be,
I think you'd better take off soon before you get dragged into more.

Urara
Yeah... That's what I was gonna do.
But, I was worried about everyone in Futatsugi...

Ao
What're you, a rubberneck?

Urara
You're wrong! I was really, honestly worried...!

Ao
Even if you are worried,
if all you can do is stand around and look, then this is none of your concern.

Urara
――っ!?

Ao
Well, unless there's another reason you're so obsessed with us, that is~

Urara
I.....

Ao
See ya. I'm busy, so I'm out of here.

Urara
…………
(Just as she said...)
(I do seem to have some reason I want to stay with Promised Blood...)
(I'm sure that must be why Rabi-san told me to draw the line.)
But, I don't know how...
Even if I'm staying with them out of regret, I don't know why that is...
How do I draw the line...?
…………

-Flashback-

Sakuya
Urara... If anything ever happens to me,
you think you could take one of my certificates of honor
from Yuna's house, as a memento?

-End Flashback-

Urara
Sakuya-san...
――っ!?
Sakuya-san...
That's it...! I finally got it!
(My regret is for Sakuya-san...!)
(If I can grant Sakuya-san's request and properly say goodbye to her,)
(I'm sure my regret will disappear...!)
...Then that means I need to go get Sakuya-san's memento...
(...After that, I have to properly say goodbye to my memories with everyone,)
(visit Yuna-san's house for the final time,)
(and say goodbye to Yuna-san and Sakuya-san...)
...That's my line to draw.
