Hanayui no Shou 19-6N

N.W: The ritual of purification is safely over. It's time for the next step, isn't it, Hinata?

H: ...

N.W: What's wrong, Hinata? Thinking about something? Or are you tired from today.

H: I'm tired, so I'm here with you.

H: Do you remember, Wakaba-chan? During the reclamation of the Marugame Castle, I told everyone this so many times it should've been obnoxious.

H: And I'll say this again, but attacking at a time outside those designated by the Shinju-sama is not something I can recommend. It's dangerous.

N.W: Yeah. And you stopped our reconnaissance into their base back then.

H: But this time, to prevent victims, I let you go into dangerous enemy territory with no oracle.

H: And you won against a powerful enemy. That's amazing.

N.W: That's just how strong everyone's gotten.

N.W: We don't just have to sit around being protected by the gods now. Maybe that sounds a little presumptious.

N.W: But I think that's a side we have to show sometimes, as well.

H: Yeah, it came as somewhat of a shock to me, as well. But I think we should still be reverent.

N.W: Our goal is to take back our daily life.

N.W: To return to the world we lived in, without having any problems with the gods... That would be for the best.

H: Yeah. To get our daily life back, let's show our backbone to the Shinju-sama sometimes.

H: That humans can walk on their own too.

N.W: Saying that while being inside a god is definitely impudent, though...

N.W: Won't we anger it?

H: I'm sure it can overlook this much.

H: Without relying on the gods, people will strive to walk on their own. I think this is natural.

H: As long as we don't forget to be reverent, the gods shouldn't be angered by this sort of choice...

H: ...Angered.

N.W: What's wrong, Hinata?

H: ...Angered!? What if this was the cause behind the heavenly god's anger!?

H: Because humans tried obtaining powers that they should not have... And incurred its wrath?

N.W: So you're saying that was why they attacked?

H: I must be overthinking it. But once we appease the rebelling god, the answer should be clear.

N.W: Akamine Yuuna must have a lot to tell, as well.

H: Let's keep our minds sharp and continue onwards.
