Yuma'a Story

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Part One: You're Yuma's Hero
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Yuma: I wonder where Papa and Mama went? ...Huh? Where is this place... It's kind of a...weird place.
...! Mama...
Yuma's Mom: Hihaaa....hii...hiit hurts...hel....help...!
Yuma: Hii...!!
Familiar: !@(&$)*!$!*&(#$!!
Yuma: Kyaaaaah!! Nooo...! No...What...is this...!?
Familiar: !)(*$#!($*!#$!
Yuma: --!!
????: Hmph....!
Familiar: !)($*!!
Yuma: --!!
???: And here!
Familiar: !@)($*!@*$!?!
???: Hmph...that's all you got? ...Well, that's one down.
Yuma: .......
???: Hey kid, what happened to you is pretty tragic. But that's reality for you. Even if you tremble, even if you cry, your dead parents aren't coming home. You should be grateful that you were lucky to survive.
Yuma: ......
???: ...Even if you make a face like that, no one's gonna come save you.
Yuma: ...!

???: The one who killed your parents was a monster called a witch. And I'm what they call a magical girl, the one who fights them.
Yuma: ...Onee-chan, are you...an ally of justice?
???: I'm nothing like that.
Yuma: ...Do you think Yuma could fight too?
???: Haaa?
Yuma: Yuma wants to become a magical girl and fight too!
???: Don't say shit like that...!
Yuma: But Papa and Mama are both dead! Yuma doesn't have anywhere she can go anymore! Cuz...! Yuma, can't live by her...
???: ... Sheesh. ...You're such a hopeless brat. Alright, listen carefully. I'm not your "Onee-chan", I'm Sakura Kyouko.
Yuma: Kyo-ko...?
Kyouko: Yeah, if you wanna learn how to live by yourself, I'll show you how.

Kyouko: Hey, you've got a bit of work to do before you go to sleep.

Yuma: Uuu...! Sniff...! Mama, where are youu...?
Employee(?): Oh no... are you lost...?
Yuma: Sniff...
Kyouko: (Dumbass, don't look this way. You'll give it away)

Yuma: We got lots of stuff to eat, didn't we?
Kyouko: Yeah, don't waste any food. Make sure you eat everything.
Yuma: Yeahh! ...gulp ...Munchmunchh! Efuu...!
Kyouko: Hey...! Eat more slowly...!
Yuma: Kyo-ko! I ate everything!
Kyouko: Yeah, yeah, good for you
Yuma: (Nip-aaaa...!)
Kyouko: (Well... I guess this isn't bad...)

Kyouko: Yuma, it's dangerous so make sure you stay back.
Yuma: Yeah, be careful okay?
Kyouko: Here I goo!!
Yuma: (Cool...! If only Yuma could be like that too...!)

Kyouko: Yuma, 'you okay?
Yuma: Y, Yeah...
Kyouko: Your face got dirty, didn't it? C'mere, I'll wipe it for you...
(---!! Her forehead...is this a mark from a cigarette...?)
...This.
...Did your parents do it?
Yuma: --!!
Kyouko: If you don't want to talk about it though, I won't ask.
Yuma: ...Yuma...didn't really like Papa or Mama...all Papa and Mama did was fight and Papa would never be home and...Mama would bully Yuma...

Yuma's Mom: "It's your fault! You dumbass brat, you can't do anything! Useless kid!"

Yuma: She told me that the reason Papa won't come home is because Yuma isn't cute...she bullied me... a lot...
Kyouko: ...You really had it rough.
...Well, it's not like I don't get what it's like to be betrayed by your parents.
Yuma: Yuu...Yuma wa...wants to become strong!! Kyo-ko, are you strong 'cause you're a magical girl!?
Because Yuma's weak...! (It's because Yuma is weak...that's why she gets bullied...!)
Hey! Are there other magical girls too!?
Kyouko: Hey! Magical girls aren't...
Kyuubey: There are. There are many other magical girls besides her. And, Yuma. It seems like you also have the potential to be one.
Kyouko: (You...! Why...)
Yuma: Really!? Can Yuma be like Kyo-ko tooo?
Kyuubey: It's true. And if you become a magical girl...
Kyouko: Heyy! Don't spew any more crap to that kid than you already have!
Kyuubey: ...Huh, it's unusual to see you interfere for someone else's sake. ...I understand.
Kyouko: ...Damn. That sketchy bastard never changes.
Yuma: ...
Kyouko: Yuma, don't even think about becoming a magical girl. (That Kyuubey...he has his eyes on Yuma now?)
Yuma: Kyo-ko...?
Kyouko: (...Just like I thought, looks like I shouldn't have gotten involved with her at all...)

Kyouko: How's this!?
Familiar: !$&*(!@$&!*!?!?

Yuma: Kyo-ko... Thanks for saving Yuma...Kyo-ko, you're Yuma's hero...Yuma also...wants to become strong like Kyo-ko... And...this time, Yuma will protect...Kyo-ko, okay...?

Yuma: ...Nn...Nn......... (Is it morning...?)
???: ...su--...su--...
Yuma: (Kyo-ko...! Squeeeeze...!) ...Guu~... (...Yuma's...hungry...)
Kyo-koo! Kyo-ko!
Kyouko: N...nn...
Yuma: Kyo-ko! Wake up! Hey, Yuma's hungryy!
Kyouko: Nn--...?
Yuma: Ummmm... ...! Hey! Yuma wants to eat a pancake!
Kyouko: Aaaah...?
Yuma: Hey! It's okay, isn't it? Let's eat pancakes for breakfast, okay?
Kyouko: Nn... for how loud you are this early in the morning, the word noisy wouldn't cut it...
Yume: Hey, hey! Earth to Kyo-ko! Let's go eat pancakes!
Kyouko: Nnn...! ...Afu...don't have any. I don't have the kind of money to spend on eating pancakes and stuff like that. If you really want to go eat them, you're gonna have to find a way to get the money yourself.
Yuma: ...Thenn ...Can we go to the supermarket? Just like we did, last time...let's get them to give us ingredients from the supermarket.
Kyouko: Hahaa, "give" is a pretty innocent way of saying it.
Yuma: ...........
Kyouko: We don't need to go all the way to a supermarket if we're just going to steal ingredients.
Yuma: ?
Kyouko: Where do you think we are? I'm telling you, we can easily gather the ingredients to make pancakes from the hotel kitchen.
Yuma: ...Yeaah! I'll goo! Let's goo! To this "kitchen--"!

Yuma: ...Eggs...milk...there's sugar here tooo!
Kyouko: But the most important flour isn't.
Yuma: Flour? This?
Kyouko: That's...not it, don't you think? ...Tch, they did such a good job of gathering all sorts of stuff here, that I have no clue what's what...

???: ........! .......?
Yuma: ...! (Kyo-koo...! Someone's comingg...!
Kyouko: You don't have to tell me, I know...! We're out of time. Well, I guess we can gamble and try this flour...
Yuma: ...?
Kyouko: We're going back to our room.
Yuma: Yeahh...!

Kyouko: S...Shit....!! This isn't good... What kind of flour did we bring back with us...!?
Yuma: Uu...gulp...I, It's yummy...! It's yummy...! Let's eat it all up without being picky...!
Kyouko: Yuma!
Yuma: Nn, gulp... Guh, uu...
Kyouko: Don't push yourself. I won't get mad if you leave leftovers. I'm telling you, this has nothing to do with being picky or not.
Yuma: ...cough... ...y, yeah...
Kyouko: ...Okay. Guess we'll go to the supermarket then.
Yuma: ...! Yeahh!

Yuma: Sniff! ...sob! Waaaaaaah...!
Woman: Oh my...what's wrong~?
Yuma: My mama's...
Woman: Awww~, are you lost?
Kyouko: ......... (...Pancake mix is, uh... ...Here!)

Yuma: Kyo-koo!
Kyouko: Yeah, are you okay?
Yuma: Yepp!
Kyouko: Then let's go back to the hotel.

Kyouko: ...Nn, it's a success.
Yuma: Gulp...n...It's yumm--yy!! It's yummyy! It's yummy! Kyo-koo!
Kyouko: That's good.
Yuma: Gullp! ...Munchmunchmunchh! ...burp! Coughcough!
Kyouko: Ahhh---ahhh---...That's why I told you not to wolf it down like that, since you'll choke...Here, drink some milk.
Yuma: 'kay... ...Gulpgulpgullp! ...Fuhe...
Kyouko: ...Sheesh, I guess you won't listen...
Yuma: ...Hehehee

Yuma: Kyo--koo! (Squeezee...!)
Kyouko: Okay, okay, I get it. Go to sleep already.
Yuma: (Kyo-ko, thanks...! The pancakes were a big success!

Yuma: Kyo-ko... Kyo-ko... I love you...
Look, look, Kyo-ko! I finished eating all of it!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Part Two: Yuma will Save Kyo-ko
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Yuma: ...N...nnn...uu...fua...Kyo-ko...? Kyo...
Kyouko: Nn--?
Yuma: ...Kyo-ko, are you leaving?
Kyouko: Yeah.
Yuma: Where are you going? To the supermarket?
Kyouko: I'm not going to the supermarket. I'm going to this place called Kamihama.
Yuma: "Ka-me-ha-ma"...?
Kyouko: That's right, a place that's a bit far away.
Yuma: Why? What do you need to go there for?
Kyouko: To hunt witches...and a bit of investigating while I'm doing so.
Yuma: Yuma will go with you.
Kyouko: No, rejected.
Yuma: ---!! Whyy!? Yu, Yuma can fight tooo! Yuma can defeat a witch too?
Kyouko: It's dangerous, that's why you can't go. Compared to Mitakihara, Kamihama has a lot more witches. Be a good girl and watch the place while I'm gone.
Yuma: ...Noo...but...ookaay...
Kyouko: ...Fuu, it'll be okay. You don't need to make a face like that...I'll come back home by dinner.
Yuma: ...Really?
Kyouko: Yeah. I wouldn't do something like lie to you. If you're a good girl and you keep watch...we can go eat something you like, Yuma.
Yuma: ...! Yeah! Yeaah! Yuma will be a good girl and wait for youu!

Yuma: ...Kyo-ko...wonder how much longer...Maybe she won't come home...Even though she promised that...we'd eat dinner together...I wish she'd hurry and come home... --!?
Oriko: Good evening, small magical girl.
Yuma: --!! You... again...!? What...? What do you want from Yuma...?
Oriko: *giggles*... Please don't be so afraid. I will give you another chance at her salvation.
Yuma: Salvation....?
Oriko: Sakura Kyouko-san...
Yuma: !?
Oriko: She truly is a reckless person. To think she's about to be taken by the hands of Death again...
Yuma: Kyo-ko!? What happened to Kyo-ko!?
Oriko: Something dangerous is about to happen to her. I wonder if you will be able to overturn the fate of her death...once again?
Yuma: That's...
Oriko: You don't believe a word I say? But... I turned out to be correct last time?
Yuma: ----!!

Oriko: Sakura Kyouko... I wonder, is she still in this world? Or did the grim reaper already take her away?
Yuma: Is Kyo, u...ko...gonna...die...?


Yuma: Yu, Yuma will! Yuma will save Kyo-ko!
Kyo-ko said she would go to this place called "Kamihama"!
You... Do you know about "Kamihama"!? Please tell me where "Kamihama" is!
Oriko: I do know. Come along... let's go to "Kamihama" together. If you wish to save Sakura Kyouko, come follow me.

Yuma: Is this... "Kamihama"...?
Oriko: That's right.
Yuma: (I kinda...don't like this...it's scary...) Kyo-ko... What about Kyo-ko?
Oriko: (I'm so sorry, Yuma-san... ...!!)
Yuma: Hyaaah! Wh, What...!? Why...? Is this... a witch's "barrier"...?
Familiar: ○。○’◇____ + 。○。"+◇!!!
Yuma: What should I do...! --!! I need to...defeat the witch...! (...I need to defeat it...and go bring Kyo-ko home!)
Kyo-ko...wait for me, okay...!

???: --!! A magical girl...!

Oriko: …! (...So she’s appeared. And I will appoint you with the role of the savior's guide...)
…Oh my, nice to meet you. Are you a magical girl of this city?
???: Yes. Are you different...?
Oriko: That’s right, this is actually a different city than the one that is my territory.
???: You also came to Kamihama...
Oriko: I “also”...?
???: Lately, there’s many other magical girls... like you...coming to Kamihama from outside...
Oriko: Oh, really?
???: ? Isn’t that the same with you? Aren't you here to hunt the witches...gathering in Kamihama...?
Oriko: Witches gathering...?
???: That's also a recent change here...there's a lot of witches gathering in Kamihama...
Oriko: So that’s what it was... You’ve taught me something useful. If that’s the case, I need to brace myself.
???: You didn’t know that there’s a lot of witches here…? …Then, why…? If you’re not here to hunt witches... why did you come to this city…?
Oriko: I was chasing after a magical girl and ended up in this city. Although... ever since I arrived I lost sight of her...
???: A magical girl… what kind of girl is she?
Oriko: She’s still a very young magical girl. Her name is Yuma but….
???: “Yuma"...

Kyouko:  I did promise that I’d be back by dinner...
I hope Yuma’s not crying, but...

???: Sakura-san’s…?
Oriko: “Sakura-san”?
???: Someone I know...once mentioned the same name, so...
Oriko: Sakura…Kyouko-san?
???: You know her…? Sakura Kyouko, I mean…
Oriko: Um, Yuma-san mentioned Kyouko-san a lot.
???: Then, as I thought…
Oriko: Are you acquainted with that Sakura-san?
???: Yes… it might be a good idea...to tell Sakura-san about this…
Oriko: That’s true… it’d be dangerous if she was lost in a city with this many witches…
???: Then I’ll be going… I have to go tell Sakura-san so…
Oriko: Yes, I’ll try looking around this city...

Kyouko: Thanks to all those distractions it's gotten this late. I didn't know that the black magical girl would be there. (...She knew that Mami and I would go at Kamihama today. But how...?) ...Between Kamihama and that black magical girl, there's way too many things that make me nervous about this.
He---y, I'm home. Yuma? Yuma---? ...............Yuma...? ...Hey! Yuma! Yuma!!

Kyouko: Dammit Yuma... where'd you go....!
???: Sakura-san!!
Kyouko: ...? Shizuku...? Why are you...
Shizuku: Yuma-san's...!
Kyouko: ---!? Yuma!? Hey! Do you know where Yuma's at!?
Shizuku: She apparently went missing in Kamihama...!
Kyouko: Kamihama...!? Why...!?
Shizuku: I don't know... but I heard her say that Yuma was talking about you, Kyouko-san...and so I thought that it might be the girl you were talking about, Kyouko-san...
Kyouko: ...Hold it. Who did you hear that from?
Shizuku: Now that you mention it...I didn't ask for her name... She was a magical girl wearing white clothes...but...
Kyouko: ---!? A magical girl...wearing white...!? Oriko...!
(...Bitch...! Why...Why would you...! Why are you trying to fuck around with us...!?)
Shizuku: "Oriko"...?
Kyouko: Hey. Sorry to keep bothering you like this, but could you help me out one more time? I'll make sure to pay you back. Take me to Kamihama as soon as possible.
Shizuku: Understood...!

Yuma: Kyo-ko...where...? Where are you...?

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Part Three: I'll Protect You
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Witch: !$&*!@$!nq!!
Yuma: FuaaaaAaaah!! Uu...wo...n't, lose...! Uu, uuuUuuu...!
Witch: !&84812!?
Yuma: (Need to hurry...! Yuma needs to defeat it...fast...! Need to defeat it fast and...go save...Kyo-ko...!)
Uu...uuuuuuuu...!
Witch: !@&$**!*@&$*!@*(!
Yuma: Kyaaaaaaaah!! Uuu...guu...! ...Haa...ha......Yuma can't...die in a place like...this....Yuma will...Kyo-ko...Yuma made the choice to...save her... (...Because...that's why...because, Yuma became... a magical girl... for Kyo-ko's sake...)


Kyouko: Yuma, don't even think about becoming a magical girl.
Yuma: (I wonder why? Why did Kyo-ko tell me not to?)

Yuma: ...uu? Where are you Kyo-ko...? Where did you go?
Oriko: Sakura Kyouko... I wonder, is she still in this world? Or did the grim reaper already... take her away?
Yuma: Grem reeper...? Kyo-ko?
Oriko: Are you looking for Kyouko-san? She will fight with a witch... and then...die. That is her fate.
Yuma: Die...will...Kyo, u...ko...is...gon, na...die?
Oriko: ...fu.
Yuma: Do you know...where Kyo-ko is? Onee-chan, please tell me!
Oriko: My...I wonder if you can turn the wheels of fate? You good-for-nothing-but-being-cute-san.
Yuma: ----!!

"Good for nothing!!"

Yuma: Yu...ma's...!

Kyouko: You little...!
Witch: ...!?
Kyouko: (Why!? I've got a bad feeling about this...) This is the end!
Witch: ..........!? ...!?!?

Yuma: Haa...haaa...haaaaa...Kyo...Kyo-ko! Where'd you go, Kyo-ko! ...uuu...sniff...Kyo-ko...need to hurry and find her...Kyo-ko will...
Kyuubey: What about Kyouko?

Kyouko: ...That ended up being pretty easy. I guess that bad feeling was just me imagining things...yaaa-aaawn. Guess I'll hurry home and take another nap.
---!? The barrier's...! Transforming...?

Kyouko: Y'mean I only destroyed part of it...!?
Witch: .........!! ...!! ...!!!!!!
Kyouko: Kuu...! ...You're an annoying one, aren't ya!!

Kyouko: Been a while since one's given me this much trouble. I'll give you that much. This is the end...! ---!?
Witch: ......!! .......!!!!...!!!!!
Kyouko: What the....!! --!! ....Ku, hha.....!! (Shit. At this rate, I'll die...)

Kyouko: What a rough life it's been...I would've liked to have seen a happy dream at least once...
...Ah well. It's over, anyway...

???: "Nooo!!"

Witch: ........!!
Kyouko: ---!! ...Guu...!! aaAAAAAAHHHHH!!
Witch: ...!?!?...!?!?.........
Kyouko: ...Whew, ...that was a close call. But how am I still alive? Even though that wasn't the kind of wound that could easily heal itself... Do I have the goddess of victory on my side or something? ...What a joke.

???: That's right.

Kyouko: ?
Yuma: We did it! Kyo-ko!
Kyouko: ----!!
Yuma: It's like Kyuubey said! Even Yuma can fight! He said Yuma can use magic called "healing magic". If Kyo-ko gets hurt, Yuma will always be there to heal you! Ehehen!
Kyouko: You've got to be kidding me.
Yuma: Owww....
Kyouko: Yuma, why'd you become a magical girl?
Yuma: Because...
Kyouko: NOT BECAUSE!! I told you, didn't I!! Don't become a magical girl!!
Yuma: Because...because...Because! She said...! Oriko said...!
Kyouko: "Oriko"...!?

Oriko: I wonder if you can turn the wheels of fate? You good-for-nothing-but-being-cute-san.

Yuma: She said! SHE SAID! UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!
Kyouko: Yumaa...!
Yuma: AAAAAAAAAAAA, AAAAH! YUMAA, IS....!!
Kyouko: Yuma!!
Yuma: Not...good for nothing...Isn't a good for nothing! Yuma will be useful for Kyo-ko! Yuma'll listen to whatever you say! Won't be picky! So...!

Don't leave Yuma all by herself.

Yuma: Fguu...uu, uuuuuuu...hicc...hicc...
Kyouko: ...You really are stupid. Becoming a magical girl for someone else's sake...

Don't leave me

Kyouko: ...Da...d...?

Kyouko: Even though becoming a magical girl for someone else's sake like that...won't amount to anything...!
Yuma: ...Kyo-ko...? Are you crying...?
Kyouko: Idi---ot. I'm not crying or anything...

Yuma: Became one...for Kyo-ko's sake...........Yuma...has...to save, her...

???: ...Looks like someone came here before us.
Iroha: Yachiyo-san! There!!
Yachiyo: ---!! This girl...! She's hurt all over...!

Yachiyo: Tamaki-san!! Please look after that girl!
Iroha: Understood!!
Tsuruno: Alright! Leave the offense to me!


Tsuruno: She'll be okay!! She's still breathing.
Yachiyo: ...! ...Is that so...Hurry and use a grief seed on her.
Iroha: Yes...!
Yachiyo: ...I'm surprised. That there'd be a magical girl this young...
Iroha: ...Exactly...even though she's still this small...
Tsuruno: Judging by her looks, she's about a first or second grader.
Yuma: ...ko......Kyo...ko...
Tsuruno: ? She just...
Yuma: ...ko...Kyo-ko...
Iroha: "Kyo-ko"...?
Yachiyo: Wait, "Kyouko"...could it be...Sakura-san...?
Tsuruno: "Sakura"?
Yachiyo: Remember, we met her once before...

??: Yuma!!

Kyouko: ...Wait, you guys!!
Yachiyo: It's just like I thought.
Kyouko: "Just like I thought"...?
Yachiyo: "Just like I thought"...this girl knows you.
Kyouko: Why...
Yachiyo: She was mumbling "Kyouko" "Kyouko". She was calling for you this entire time, that's why.
Kyouko: ........... (Yuma..........)
Iroha: ...I'm sorry. By the time we arrived just now, she was already like that...
Kyouko: "Now"...!?
Tsuruno: It's okay! She's hurt, but she'll be okayy so!
Kyouko: ...the hell. Don't scare me like that...
Iroha: I, I'm sorry...
Kyouko: I told you, don't apologize. You guys saved her, didn't you? I'll say it. Thanks. ...Looks like I owe you all one.
Yachiyo: Don't worry about it. We don't think of it that way, after all.
Tsuruno: Yeah, yeah.
Kyouko: ...Sorry. ...what kind of city is Kamihama anyway...? Ever since I got involved in Kamihama, each and every day I've seriously run into trouble here and there.
Yachiyo: ...True...Right now, something abnormal is happening in Kamihama...but I don't know why that is. Strange things have started happening just a few months ago... I've been here in Kamihama since I was born, but...nothing like this has ever happened until now...
Kyouko: So even magical girls who're used to Kamihama have their hands up, huh...

Kyouko: (This is the first time I've carried Yuma on my back like this but...man, she's light...
I've been calling you a brat a lot but...She really is still...still just a kid.)
Yuma: Nn...n, u...
Kyouko: Don't move. You're tickling my back.
Yuma: N...Kyo...ko...Kyo-...ko...
Kyouko: ...!
Yuma: ...Kyo-ko...you okay...? ...Doesn't it...hurt...? Yuma will...protect, you...Kyo-ko...
Kyouko: (...She's still saying it...) ...I'm fine. (...You're still just a brat, don't worry about protecting me. A brat should behave like a brat. Keep quiet and let me protect you.)

Shizuku: It was a magical girl...wearing white clothes, but...
Yachiyo: ...True...Right now, something abnormal is happening in Kamihama...

Kyouko: (From now on, no matter what happens...) ...I'll protect you.

Yuma: You saved Yuma again...
