Yume and the Ice Magic Sequence

1: I Still Want to Do It, Like Magic!

Several days after realizing this world was a dream...

Mihono: Even when you tell yourself it's a dream, focusing on trying to experience your ideal self... This might be tough.
Mihono: I'm thinking about trying to improve my concentration, but, am I really doing it, you know?
Kiyoka: Though... If we don't do it, we won't wake up from this dream, will we...?
Erika: Aren't you overthinking this a little, Mihono, Kiyoka? If you're getting into your ideal state, you should be able to do it even when you're relaxed.
Erika: Take Kanami for example. She's having fun challenging everybody to matches, see?
Kanami: That's cause it's so much fun!
Erika: And, saying that, I've gone along with her countless times.
Angelina: I stopped by to watch partway through, and they kept going for over an hour.
Mihono: ...Kanami's really something.
Kanami: Erika-san's swordsmanship has this unfamiliar feeling to it, so I just can't help but want to see more!
Yume: Hmm. Erika-onee-san, are you strong?
Erika: What's that-? You want to go too, Yume?
Mayumi: Chiba-san, you're such a popular girl.
Yume: Nnn, that wouldn't be bad either, but...
Yume: Since this is supposed to be a dream, I wanna try doing something even more exciting!
Erika: Whoops, I got rejected. So, what kind of exciting things did you have in mind?
Yume: I want to use magic!
Yume: I know there's magic in the world you onee-sans come from, so maybe I can do it too here, since it's a dream!
Kanami: You're not giving up on that, huh, Yume.
Honoka: If you could use magic, what sort of things would you like to do, Yume-chan?
Yume: Let me see... Maybe fly in the sky? That'd be fun for sure, and it'd probably feel good to fly wherever you want!
Miyuki: Flight magic, then. In our world, provided you have enough magic power, we've shown that's a technique many magicians are capable of using.
Yume: You've flown in the sky before!?
Miyuki: I have. My first experience with it was highly enjoyable, and I felt proud to be a part of it.
Yume: That's so cool-! I want to fly too!
Mihono: That's awesome! So you really can fly around in the sky-.
Yume: Since it's a dream, if you jumped down from one of the school windows or somewhere up high, maybe you'd start flying-?
Yume: So long as you decide that your ideal self should be able to fly around!
Mihono/Kanami: Ah-!?
Maki: I was wondering what all the excitement was about... Yume... You can't know that for sure, so give it up.
Maki: And, Asakura and Etou. Could you not look at her like she just came up with something genius?
Mihono/Kanami: Ahaha...
Yume: Ehh. It's okay if I'm just going to give it a try, right-?
Suzuka: Yume. We may be within a dream, but you still feel pain here, don't you?
Suzuka: I'm sure that Ban-san has prepared some sort of safety mechanism, but, if worse comes to worst, we can't be certain it won't have an effect on your body or mind.
Yume: Ehhh.
Hiyori: Flying in the air does sound incredible, but I think this dream has a lot of limitations to it.
Hiyori: Even if we wish for it, the aradama won't just up and vanish in an instant. ...[chomp]
Yume: What's that you've got there, Onee-san?
Hiyori: Chocolate mint ice cream... [chomp]
Shizuku: ...[chomp]. Though, I know the feeling of wanting to try something since it's a dream. The magic we use can't do everything, after all.
Yume: ...I don't really want to hear anything from you onee-sans while you're all satisfied eating your dream ice cream though-.
Hiyori: ...Ngh.
Miyuki: Fufu, it seems she's struck a sore spot, Hiyori-san.
Yume: Yeah, yeah. I only wanted to try it a little bit too.
Miyuki: You're just brimming with curiosity, aren't you, Yume-san.
Miyuki: However, even if this dream may seem both real and fantastical, doesn't it seem difficult for anything out of a fairytale to appear, like a house made of candy?
Suzuka: Yes. It's likely just as Shiba-san says; it's unlikely anything can happen that strays too far from our common sense of the world.
Maki: That's how it is, Yume. You'll just have to live with it.
Yume: Grr--! Fine then! I'm not going to ask you onee-sans what to do anymore!
Kanami: Ah... Yume-chan!?
Maki: Wait... Yume!



2: Chasing Yume		[Like in the event's title, Yume isn't written in kanji here, so it could mean both Yume and dreams]

Mayumi: This here. It looks like Tsubakuro-san dropped it earlier. I think it's some sort of character keyring.
Kanami: That's the mascot character, Ichigo Daifuku Neko.
Honoka: Ah, now that you mention it, it looks like it has a strawberry daifuku motif. It's cute...
Maki: Yume really likes that character.
Maki: Still... Yume completely blew her top back there.
Suzuka: ...We'll have to think up something else besides simply searching for her.
Maki: Even if we can't go as far as making her fly... So long as we had something else that'll make her happy.
Suzuka: That's just it...
Suzuka/Maki: ...!
Miyuki: ?
Maki: Sorry to ask you this so suddenly, but... Is there any way you could make Yume happy with your magic? Of course, if it's too difficult, I won't blame you for refusing.
Angelina: You and Suzuka both seem strict on her, but actually... You're very sweet with that girl, aren't you?
Maki: We have to give her a proper warning, but she is something like a little sister to us.
Miyuki: I don't have anything specific in mind now, but, could we think on it a little?
Honoka: You're doing so much for us, so I want to help too.
Mayumi: Let's pitch in for Tsubakuro-san's sake. If we're going to make her happy, we might as well give her a surprise that she can't help but smile with.
Suzuka: Thank you, all of you. If you think of anything at all that you need, please ask us without hesitation.
Maki: Then, Yomi and I will go looking for Yume.
Yomi: ...There's a possibility that Tsubakuro-san didn't give up on trying to fly, after all.
Kanami: I'll help look for Yume-chan too!
Mihono: Shidou-san, Satsuki-san. I'll go too!
Yomi: That would be a great help. Thank you very much.
Maki: Then, let's move quick. I'd appreciate if you girls did what you could too.
Mayumi: Of course; you can count on us.

Yomi: ...If she's already left the school, we'll have to go outside.
Hiyori: I thought she might be on the roof or one of the upper floors, but couldn't find anything...
Yomi: Yes. I thought the same thing.
Yomi: Still, I didn't expect this. For you to help with the search.
Hiyori: I was looking where she might jump down. I'm just thinking, when I was talking to her, I should have chosen my words a bit more carefully.
Hiyori: Let's search elsewhere.
Yomi: Right. We should meet up with Shidou-san and the others for now.

Maki: ...You didn't find anything either, Yomi?
Yomi: Unfortunately.
Maki: I see. Then, we'll just have to take things slow and steady.
Erika: We're going to help you too.
Erika: Lina and I looked around this area earlier, but we didn't find her. She wasn't in her room or anything, was she?
Yomi: Thank you very much, both of you. Yes, I just checked there.
Angelina: If we're going to find Yume, I'd like to have some kind of lead first. Do you have anything like that?
Maki: Since she said she wanted to try flying before she ran out, it's possible she might try jumping from somewhere high...
Maki: But, it is Yume we're talking about. She might've also completely dropped that and is doing something else now.
Angelina: I suppose... All we can do now is ask around.



3: I Hope Today's Memories Remain

Maki: Was Yume there!?
Kanami: Ah, Shidou-san!
Kanami: From what witnesses said, it looks like Yume-chan was at a souvenir shop around here.
Mihono: But, with this many people around... We can't find her!
Angelina: It would be a real challenge looking for one person in this crowd. Can you still not reach her?
Yomi: She hasn't replied to phone calls or text messages.
Hiyori: Still, why is she at a tourist place right near Renpu?
Maki: If Yume's given up on trying to fly, that's a relief, but we don't know what she's up to now.
Erika: It'd be weird to go sightseeing somewhere right next to where you usually stay too.
Angelina: Maybe she's curious about finding differences between the dream world and the real world...?
Yomi: Who can say? Though, in Tsubakuro-san's case, I don't think that's very likely.
Mihono: What if she just came here to have fun?
Kanami: Over there; I see Yume-chan!
Yume: What did you onee-sans come here in a big group for?
Yume: Ah. Were you maybe gonna start doing something fun? If you were, then you should've told me first-.
Yomi: That's not it...
Yume: Then, what? Tell me!
Maki: We only came out here to find you after you went running off. We weren't planning on doing anything else.
Yume: Ehh... All these people came just to look for me? Why...? Are you sure you weren't doing something else?
Erika: We were worried after you vanished all of a sudden. Especially Maki here. And, what did you come here for, Yume?
Yume: Heh hehh~. That's because-, this place is selling a limited edition Buddha version Ichigo Daifuku Neko purse!
Yume: I was suprised they were selling it in the dream! They haven't actually sold these for real yet.
Yomi: The truth is stranger than fiction... Would that mean that Tsubakuro-san's power of imagination overcame the dream?
Angelina: You really do love that mascot character, don't you, Yume. Is it a daifuku, or a Buddha... I can't even tell.
Maki: Nn? Suzuka's calling me.
Maki: Yeah, we found her just now. Understood. We'll take Yume with us and head there.
Yume: Where are we going?
Maki: I think you'll definitely find this interesting. Let's go.

Yume: Onee-sans, why'd you all come out here for? It doesn't look we're here to swim, and it's a little early, isn't it?
Mayumi: The truth is... Starting now, we're going to put on a quick show of how great magic is for you, Tsubakuro-san!
Yume: You mean it-!?
Miyuki: Yes. Now then, Saegusa-senpai. Let's get started.
Yume: Yume: That's a really big round ball of... ice?
Mihono: That's crazy! I bet you could make shaved ice for hundreds of people with all that!
Mayumi: Now it's time for me to show my strengths. --Here goes!
Mayumi: I'll need your help too, Miyuki-san. I'm depending on you.
Miyuki: Please count on me. --YAA!
Yume: Now they're chipping away at the big ice with little ice!? Hey, what're you making?
Angelina: You'll just have to wait and see, Yume.
Yume: Whoaa-!
Shizuku: Now for the finishing touch. Honoka, you're up.
Honoka: ...O-Okay! Just have to light up the finished ice sculpture... There.
Yume: You made a giant Ichigo Daifuku Neko out of ice!! Wow wow wow! It's all sparkling!
Mayumi: It took a little bit of time, but don't you think it turned out rather well?
Yume: Yeah! I've never seen one this big before!
Suzuka: ...Even though it was on short term notice, the results are impressive.
Yume: Because of this big Ichigo Daifuku Neko, it sort of feels nice and cool... I know; can I take pictures?
Miyuki: Of course.
Mirja: We hurried over after Asakura Mihono called us, but this truly is an incredible sight.
Kiyoka: Right. I didn't think it would be so elaborately made.
Yui: I'm going to take some pictures of the ice sculpture with Mayumi-san and everyone, to commemorate!
Kiyoka: You're just using the ice sculpture as an excuse to take their pictures, aren't you...?
Yume: ~ ~.
Yui: ~ ~.
Erika: They seem really happy with it.
Mayumi: It was worth going to the effort.
Yui: Thank you as well, Mitsui-san.
Honoka: This much was nothing at all. It's easy for me to keep it going long enough for Yume-chan to enjoy herself taking photos.
Yume: Ah... But, when we wake up from the dream, these pictures won't be there anymore, will they. I wish they'd be there forever-.
Miyuki: Even so, if we believe they will remain, that might just end up being the case.
Kanami: Miyuki-san's right. Since we're all here, we should take a group photo of everyone in front of the ice sculpture.
Mayumi: That's a great idea, Etou-san! How about that, Tsubakuro-san?
Yume: I'm totally okay with it-. But, who's going to take the picture?
Yui: I'll take care of it!
Yui: Go on; everybody bunch up in front of the ice sculpture-. Honoka-san, if I could get you to move a little too please-. I want to capture you in all your glory-!
Honoka: Okay, I got it.
Yui: If you could get up against the other girls... Just squeeeze yourself right up against them!
Honoka: Ehhhhhh!? S-Squeeze against them!?
Mirja: Feel free to disregard her comment just now.
Maki: Isn't this great, Yume.
Yume: Yeah! Thanks, all you onee-sans!

[Mahouka - Suzuka: Start]: Erika's Single Day Experience

Erika: Hey hey, Suzuka. What do you normally do?
Suzuka: What I... normally do?
Erika: Yeah, like, most days.
Erika: You and Maki, you aren't students of the Five Traditions like Mihono and them, are you?
Suzuka: To put it simply, our primary duty is acting as escorts for the head of the Origami family.
Suzuka: Of course, that isn't all, and we are engaged in other forms of work...
Suzuka: If you're curious, why not experience some of it for yourself?
Erika: For myself?
Erika: There's no way! Stuff like student council work just isn't my thing!
Suzuka: This is different from a student council, so you'll do fine. So, could I ask you to join me throughout the day tomorrow?
Erika: ...Seriously?

The next day.

Suzuka: Now then, we'll begin our morning duties. Through the morning, we will be doing office work.
Erika: ...There's kind of some crazy stacks of papers here though.
Suzuka: Those are the papers you and I will be processing. I've seen to it that you'll only have simple paperwork, so rest assured.
Erika: There's nothing assuring about this! I mean, isn't this much paperwork insane enough!
Suzuka: It may seem that way when you're unused to it, but, after we get started, it will be over before you know it.
Erika: ...Is that how this goes?
Suzuka: Yes, that's how it is.
Erika: Then... I'll give it a shot. I'm the one who didn't turn you down, after all.

Erika: ...There's a whole lot of aradama, aren't there.
Suzuka: Today's reports are on the light side. There are plenty of times we get more than double this.
Erika: More than double!?
Erika: You're almost the same age as me, and Mihono and them are even younger... It must be rough.
Suzuka: You don't need to feel pity for us. We chose this for ourselves.
Erika: You did, huh.
Suzuka: That's right.
Suzuka: My, it's that time already.
Erika: Finally-!
Suzuka: Good work. We've taken care of most of the paperwork, Chiba-san.
Erika: Ah, you're right...
Suzuka: See? All it takes is to put your mind to it.

[Mahouka - Suzuka: End]: Suzuka and Erika

Erika: Hey, Suzuka.
Erika: We spent all morning with our eyes glued to papers, but what'll we do in the afternoon?
Suzuka: This afternoon, we'll be going out to suppress aradama.
Erika: So it's aradama supressing time. I think I'll feel more comfortable with that than paperwork.
Suzuka: Then, let's get going.

Aradama: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Erika: HAAH!
Aradama: GUGYAA!?
Erika: Suzuka!
Suzuka: Right!
Aradama: Oooooo...
Erika: Is that the last of them?
Suzuka: ...Yes, the readings have vanished from my spectrum finder.
Erika: Hmmm, that wasn't even enough for a warmup. Here I thought I'd get to shake off the gloom from this morning.
Suzuka: By the way, what style of swordfighting do you practice, Chiba-san? I don't recognize those movements...
Erika: It's the Chiba style, but that wouldn't exist in this world, does it?
Erika: Where we're from, over half the police force's Special Magical Assault Team graduated from the Chiba dojo. But you don't have a Special Magical Assault Team here either, right?
Suzuka: We don't have that.
Suzuka: It's not exactly a substitute, but we do have a Special Task Team affiliated with the National Police Agency's Special Sword Administration Bureau.
Suzuka: That would be us toji.
Erika: Hmm, so that's how it is... Actually, why'd you ask about my style anyway?
Suzuka: Your tenacity with a sword... I simply thought you could make a fine toji, Chiba-san.
Erika: ...
Erika: Thanks, Suzuka!
Suzuka: KYAA!?
Suzuka: P-Please don't grab onto of me out of the blue like that!
Erika: Sorry, sorry! But, that made me happy.
Suzuka: Sigh, you're a hopeless person, aren't you.
Suzuka: Moving on, let's head to the next site.
Erika: Ah, oh yeah. Thinking about the number of aradama appearances, this wouldn't be the end of them, huh.
Suzuka: That's how things are.
Suzuka: ...I'll be depending on you, Chiba-san.
Erika: Okay-!
