>At Div2, strategy meeting about Karma noise

>Maria explains everything they know about Karma noise again (redacted)
>There aren't many ways of dealing with Karma noise in the parallel world
>Just coordination and saturation attacks
>Tsubasa asks how what other ways there are that can't be used in the parallel world
>S2CA and Ignite
>Tsubasa asks what they are and why they can't use them
>S2CA is a superb song, Ignite is berserker strength
>S2CA requires Hibiki, who can't fight
>Chris says it would be nice if they could just use edgebikki but it's probably too reckless
>Maria says that edgebikki's characteristic isn't necessarily even the same
>Chris and Maria explain Ignite/Dainsleif, can't use it because of the Karma noise's ｢curse｣
>Therefore, we have to use coordinated attacks

>Maria says that's basically Hibiki
>Tsubasa says that both Hibikis are not necessarily the same
>Maria says that they aren't necessarily different
>Gjallarhorn ties together branches of a larger river, but they all flow in the same way as the original
>Therefore an individual's character and taste should be mostly the same
>Whether someone has a Gear or not, whether someone exists or not, and other small differences are ok
(Someone not existing is totally a smaller change than them having a different personality, right?)
>Maria is surprised by the gap between edgebikki and the original Hibiki, but doesn't think that they're fundamentally different
>Chris feels the same
>Tsubasa still wonders how they're going to persuade her
>Maria: "Leave that to the specialist"

5-8 Part 2
>Edgebikki is in the forest (seems like she's training or exercising)
>Miku shows up, edgebikki asks why she's so over-familiar
>Miku thinks that Gjallarhorn should be a secret, but decides that lying will cause edgebikki not to trust her
Explanation
>Miku says it's fine if she doesn't believe her immediately

>Edgebikki doesn't want to talk
>Miku asks about how edgebikki saved her in the Karma noise fight
>Edgebikki is surprised
>Miku says that she did, and so she wants to thank her
>Edgebikki says that it wasn't her intention and is merely Miku's misunderstanding
>Miku doubles down and says that edgebikki protected her
>Edgebikki reiterates that it was merely a coincidence, and therefore no thanks is needed

Battle
>Maria and Chris in an apartment
>Apparently it was nothing but normal noise this time
>Chris wants to just hurry up and kill the karma noise
>Miku shows up, asks about Hibiki protecting her
>She thinks that edgebikki has been preventing the noise from destroying the town and has been drawing their attention
>Even if unconsciously, edgebikki has been protecting everybody
>Chris thinks Miku is over thinking it
>Miku is convinced because it's Hibiki
>Maria says that she can't say that just because it's Hibiki
>But Miku is the one who knows Hibiki the best and has the deepest bonds with her, so she trusts her judgment
>Chris agrees

5-8 Part 3
>Genjuurou put the Karma noise data into the simulator so that they could train
>Chris is surprised that he could do that

>Tsubasa wants to continue training, but Miku runs off to go talk to edgebikki

5-8 Part 4
>Now that it's just the three of them, there's no point in coordination training
>Tsubasa wants to know more about ignite
>Maria says they can't use it against Karma noise anyway
>Tsubasa doesn't care, feels as though she has not yet mastered Ame-no-Habakiri
>Wants to know the true power hidden in the symphogears
>Maria says that ignite is due to a different relic, so it would be meaningless in showing the symphogear's potential
>Chris says that the berserk is part of the symphogear itself, so it counts
>Chris is bored so she ignites
>Maria has to copy everbody else so she ignites too
Battle

5-8 Part 5

>"It's no problem if we go all out here. If you want me to listen, then show me your strength. If I end up hurting you with my fist, I'm sorry."

>Hibiki drops her transformation
>"If you won't listen to me and fight, then just let me do as I please."
>"Hibiki..."
>Back at Div2, noise alarm
>Karma noise pattern
>Another, stronger energy pattern from somewhere else
>2 Karma noise

>Karma noise is dead but Tsubasa faints

5-9 Part 3

>I dunno
>I guess we should deal with the Kaiju
>By the way you should help us with that
>We were going to do that anyway
>According to legend, Goliath appears from morning to night to trample the Jewish army
>With the arrival of night, that power becomes weaker

>The problem being that our opponent probably won't allow that
>Yeah he'll probably just run away like before
>By the way, how's edgebikki?
>She seemed mostly fine, but escaped before a detailed examination was carried out

>"After hearing from you that she was related to Hibiki-kun, we looked into Hibiki's past and found her name."
>"Kohinata Miku-kun..... Hibiki-kun's classmate and childhood friend from before the Live Incident and before she entered Lydian."
>"Before she entered Lyidan?"
>"The Kohinata Miku-kun of this world did not enroll in Lydian."
>"Immediately after the Live Incident, due to circumstances of both her parents, she transferred."
>"So she isn't by her side, that's the way it is?"
>"Yes. We have no reason to expect that she knows that Hibiki enrolled at Lydian or became an adaptor."
>"It is also possible that she has no idea of the hell of undeserved bullying caused by the incident that became her daily life."
>"Hibiki.... So that's why she was saying things like "Nobody ever saved me"..."
>"So do you know where she is?"
>"Yeah, we were able to find her somehow, but we haven't contacted her yet."
>"Why not, you can't tell her about Hibiki?"
>"They were childhood friends... A long time has passed since they were separated. I don't know if we should get her caught up in this."
>"It's been so long there's the possibility that she may not even remember Hibiki-kun."
>"No, there isn't."
>"Miku-kun....?"
>"I would never forget about Hibiki."
>"Is that so? I apologize."
>"For now, we'll have her put under surveillance. Let's think about it again when revisiting Hibiki-kun's situation."
