~Okatana with Flowers Shining in Full Bloom Chapter~

1: A Grudge Over Food is a Fearsome Thing!

Kanami: Eh!? Just like that!? I wanted to hang around with Yuuna-chan and Tougou-san longer at least!
Kanami: And I wanted to have a practice fight with Karin-chan and Fuu-san, and I wanted to get to know Sonoko-chan and Itsuki-chan a little better...
Nogi Sonoko: I'm sad to hear it too... But the gods don't give preference to people's circumstances.
Yuuki Yuuna: Still, I'm glad. This means Kanami-chan and the rest get to go back to their home world now.
Kanami: Yuuna-chan! Tougou-san! Fuu-san! Karin-chan! Sonoko-chan! Itsuki-chan!
Kanami: I hope someday, we can meet--
Inubouzaki Fuu: I guess they're gone. We didn't get a chance to talk much, but they seemed like good people.
Inubouzaki Itsuki: ...Mm, I wanted to ask them what things were like in their world.
Miyoshi Karin: What happens once will happen twice. I'm sure we'll see each other again.
Sonoko: That's right~. Maybe next time, we'll be the ones dropping by their world.
Tougou Mimori: When Sonocchi says it, it feels like it could actually happen.
Yuuna: But you know, that would definitely be fun too! So... Let's see them again someday!
Aradama: ooo... oooOOOOOOOO!!
Kiyoka: ...Huh? It's not here? That's strange... I know I put it in here though...
Yui: What are you doing with your head stuck in the fridge, Kiyoka-chan? Your butt's wide open.
Kiyoka: Uwah!?
Kiyoka: Th-The pudding I bought for the investigation team to eat together is missing...
Yui: Well that sounds like trouble.
Kiyoka: Y-Yeah...
Kaoru: What're you covering up your skirt for?
Yui: Turns out, the pudding that Kiyoka-chan bought went missing.
Kaoru: Pudding? I remember Mihono had some with her earlier.
Kiyoka: Hono-chan had... I see, so Hono-chan did it again... How many times have I told her...!
Kiyoka: Thank you for your help, Kaoru-san.
Kaoru: S-Sure.
Kaoru: ...Kiyoka's weirdly fired up, isn't she.
Yui: ...That's for sure. I've never seen Kiyoka-chan looking that mad before. Mihono-chan... Amen.
Kiyoka: Hono-chan!!
Mihono: Eep!? ...Oh, Kiyoka? Wh-What's with that scary face you're making?
Kiyoka: ...Did you eat the pudding?
Mihono: Pudding? Ah, if you mean the stuff in the fridge, then I ate it. It was really yummy!
Kiyoka: Of course it was yummy!
Kiyoka: That was the pudding I lined up to buy because I thought we could all eat it together!
Mihono: It was!?
Mihono: S-Sorry... But, I didn't know...
Kiyoka: Just because you didn't know, does that mean you can eat whatever pudding you find in the fridge!?
Mihono: Uu...
Kiyoka: You're horrible, Hono-chan!
Mihono: A mission, now!?
Mihono: Let's see, strong aradama have simultaneously appeared in multiple locations. Hurry to the site at once. The members are as follows: Konohana-san, Yui, Kaoru-san, me, and...... Kiyoka.
Kiyoka: ......
Suzuka: Are you all prepared? We're leaving now.
Mihono: ...
Kiyoka: ...
Suzuka: My, what a tense atmosphere. Did something happen between those two?
Yui: Y'see, they're actually in the middle of a fight...
Suzuka: Of all things... I'm worried for how this will go now.
Suzuka: There was a report of a strange group of girls being sighted at where we're headed as well...
Kaoru: A strange group of girls?
Suzuka: That's right, a group of girls engaging the aradama without okatana... Using everything from guns, to wires, to even their fists... Or so they said.
Yuuna: HERO PUUUNCH!
Aradama: OOOOOOOOOOOO!
Yuuna: Uwawa!
Tougou: Fall back, Yuuna-chan! I'll cover you!
Sonoko: Hmmm, like I thought, with only us here, no matter how much we weaken them, we don't seem to be able to defeat aradama~.
Sonoko: On top of that, compared to the ones we fought in the Jukai, these seem even stronger. I wonder why that is?
Karin: We can wonder about that later; focus on the fight right now! HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!
Itsuki: Pant, pant... This is too different from fighting against vertex... If only those toji were here...!
Fuu: Just keep at it, girls! Actually... Where is here anyway!?

2: Heroes Once More

Yuuna: TEYAAAAAAAAA-!!
Yui: Ooh, there really were some cuties going at it without any okatana!
Yui: Go on-! Hit it right there-! Punch punch punch!
Suzuka: The sight alone gives me a headache... But this isn't the time to stand around watching.
Suzuka: Move in to protect them!
Kiyoka/Mihono/Yui: Right!
Itsuki: O-Onee-chan! I think it's getting to be too much...!
Fuu: I know, but... Aghh, come on! If we just had a few extra hands here!
Kaoru: Looks like we made good timing then. HAAA!
Mihono: Are you okay!?
Fuu: Ah-! It's you...!
Fuu: Showing up in a pinch; now you're the ones acting like heroes! ...Thanks, Mihono!
Mihono: Eh? Why do you know my name... Huh? Where have I seen you before...
Yuuna: Look, Tougou-san! Mihono-chan came to help us!
Tougou: Kiyoka-chan is here too... These are some reliable reinforcements.
Kiyoka: You know my name...?
Suzuka: HAAA-!
Suzuka: Are these girls acquaintances of yours, Asakura-san, Musumi-san?
Mihono: I don't know them... I think.
Kiyoka: Right... I don't think we've ever met, but...
Suzuka: ...I'm not sure I understand the situation, but it would be best to talk it over after we're done. First, let's suppress these aradama!
Fuu: Honestly, we get thrown into who knows where all of a sudden, and then there's aradama? Mihono and them really saved us.
Mihono: Um-... You keep talking like we know each other, but, have we met before?
Fuu: Eh!? You don't remember?
Yuuna: What about me!? I'm Yuuki Yuuna! I'm a "Hero"!
Mihono: ...Sorry, I don't know you.
Yunna: Come on~. What about Kiyoka-chan!?
Kiyoka: I don't know you either...
Tougou: What's going on, Sonocchi?
Sonoko: Hmmm, it might be hard for the toji to form memories of what happens in the Jukai... Maybe it was only like a dream to them.
Karin: Well, even if they forgot, they're still the same as before. So we shouldn't have to worry about it then, right?
Itsuki: That's true... You're right! I'm sure we'll be friends again right away!
Fuu: It's still kind of unfortunate, but what can you do.
Mihono: I don't really know what's going on, but, sorry.
Yuuna: No, it's okay, you don't have to apologize for anything!
Suzuka: Are you finished talking? Leaving that aside, there are plenty of things I would like to ask you all.
Itsuki: Wawa, a sort of scary person's here...
Suzuka: I am from the Special Sword Administration Bureau, Konohana Suzuka, second seat of the elite guard. And you are?
Fuu: Third year at Sanshu Middle School, Inubouzaki Fuu. All of us are "Heroes".
Suzuka: Heroes...? So you aren't toji after all. You don't appear to be using the weapons of a toji...
Yuuna: That's right! I'm a second year at Sanshu Middle School! I'm Yuuki Yuuna, the Hero!
Tougou: Second year at Sanshu Middle School, Tougou Mimori.
Karin: Second year at Sanshu, a Hero, I'm Miyoshi Karin.
Itsuki: Umm, I'm a first year at Sanshu Middle School, Inubouzaki Itsuki...
Sonoko: Likewise, I'm a second year at Sanshu, Nogi Sonoko's here~!
Suzuka: Sanshu Middle School... Not part of the Five Traditions either, then.
Suzuka: Even though you aren't toji, you fight aradama. I find that hard to believe. We'll need to conduct an investigation.
Fuu: Ahaha, this is the second time we've gone through this, isn't it... Kitora-san said the same sort of thing.
Yuuna: Anyway, Konohana-san! Where in Shikoku are we?
Suzuka: Shikoku? We aren't there; this is nearby to Kamakura.
Fuu: Kamakura!?
Fuu: ...Kamakura, as in, the Kamakura Shogunate?
Tougou: ...No, I think it's a city in the Kanagawa Prefecture that was once said to exist in Kanto.
Fuu: Kanto!? Isn't Kanto something from ancient history!?
Suzuka: What are you saying? Kanto is currently right here.
Kaoru: This conversation's kinda all over the place...
Yuuna: U-Uhhh... What if this is... like we learned about in history class, the time before the Era of the Gods...?
Itsuki: What does that mean then!? Did we time travel?
Sonoko: Take a deep breath~, Yuuyu, Ittsun. I think what happened is the opposite of what happened last time.
Sonoko: Before, the toji came to the Jukai, and oppositely, the Heroes have now come to the toji world... That's all.
Sonoko: The Japan in the world the toji are from would have followed a completely different course of history to ours.
Yuuna: Oh. We didn't get the ask the toji about what their world was like back then, so that's what happened...
Suzuka: Now then... What should we do about this. I can't quite follow what it is you're all talking about.
Mihono: Um, Konohana-san? I think we can trust them. They don't seem like they're bad or anything...
Yui: That's right! That's right! Girls that cute could never be bad people!
Kaoru: Ignoring what Yui's saying, they don't seem like they'd be our enemies. So wouldn't taking them into protective custody be the right thing to do here?
Kiyoka: I think that would be for the best too...
Suzuka: ...Well, that's true.
Itsuki: Sigh, thank goodness-. It doesn't look like things will get rough...
Suzuka: Besides, responding to the mass outbreak of aradama takes priority over dealing with you girls.
Yuuna: Are there really that many aradama out there?
Mihono: Yeah, and they're tough aradama too! It's an abnormal situation!
Yuuna: It is? Then, we'll help you defeat the aradama too!
Mihono: You will? Thanks!
Tougou: But, Yuuna-chan, we'll have to come up with a way to return to our own world as soon as we can.
Tougou: If something were to happen to our world while we're away...
Yuuna: Ah, that's right... Still, we can't just ignore the aradama either...
Sonoko: You're so kind, Yuuyu~.
Sonoko: Mm, I think I agree with Yuuyu here. And also, we can't be sure whether the abnormal outbreak of aradama and our coming to this world isn't related somehow.
Itsuski: What do you mean?
Sonoko: It might be that the Shinju-sama sent us here to this world, telling us to stop the aradama.
Tougou: I see... That might be a possibility...
Fuu: It's not like we know how to get back to our world, so it should be fine to take care of all these aradama for the time being.
Fuu: So that means, all us Heroes are going to help out with the aradama suppression!
Yui: Hooray! You can never have too many girls that'll fight right alongside you!
Kiyoka: When you talk like that, Yui-chan, I can only ever feel evil intentions...
Yui: What's that, Kiyoka-chan~, are you jealous? Don't worry, you're still my number 1!
Kiyoka: Sigh...
Mihono: The Hero girls are going to fight with us! That'll be a big help!
Yuuna: Yeah, let's all do whatever we can!
Suzuka: Hold it right there, we haven't yet decided for you to fight...
Mihono: Your punches were awesome, Yuuna! I wanna try that too.
Yuuna: If you became a Hero, I bet you could do it too, Mihono-chan! You're likely to succeed if you try!
Mihono: A Hero-! Yeah, where there's a will, there's a way!
Suzuka: ......
Kaoru: They've totally hit it off already.
Suzuka: It seems there's no way around it. I'll report to Yukari-sama... As per my discretion in the field, these girls are permitted to fight alongside us.

3: Hero Club Emergency Activity!

Mihono: HAAAA-!
Yuuna: EIII--!
Kiyoka: HAA-!
Tougou: I'll provide covering fire!
Mihono: Alright, I think we beat it. Ah, Kiyoka...
Kiyoka: ......
Mihono: ......
Kaoru: KIEEEEEEE!
Kaoru: Phew, looks like all the aradama around here are dealt with. I wanna hurry back and catch some rest...
Fuu: It sure feels good having you toji with us against these aradama.
Suzuka: Not just that. We wouldn't be able to suppress them so smoothly if not for your help.
Suzuka: Now then, it seems a detached unit will be dealing with the aradama that appeared elsewhere, so we'll be on standby for the time being.
Yuuna: I'm bored, Tougou-saaan.
Tougou: Here, have some botamochi.
Yuuna: Ohmm... It's tasty.
Karin: ...What are you two even doing?
Itsuki: Heh. They said we're on standby, but since we don't know what to do, it's a little troubling isn't it.
Fuu: Does anybody have anything they want to do?
Yuuna: Ah, it's not exactly something I want to do, but there is something I'm interested in!
Fuu: Go, Yuuna!
Yuuna: I haven't seen Mihono-chan and Kiyoka-chan talking to each other!
Sonoko: That's right, things seem a little tense between them. Could they be fighting?
Fuu: In that case, let's ask someone who'll know.
Yui: I've been called on!
Kaoru: So, what is it you wanted to ask us?
Yuuna: About Mihono-chan and Kiyoka-chan, are they fighting?
Yui: Ah-, it's about that-.
Yui: The truth is, Mihono-chan ate the pudding Kiyoka-chan bought.
Fuu: That'll mean war.
Itsuki: ...Though, at times like these, you're the one who eats the pudding, Onee-chan.
Fuu: Ahaha... A-Anyway, if that's the case, the Hero Club needs to take action!
Yuuna: Today's Hero Club activity is to get Mihono-chan and Kiyoka-chan to make up! Right?
Yui: Hero club? ...What's that?
Yuuna: We're a club that goes out with a good heart to do what we can to help everyone! That's why we're the Hero Club!、
Tougou: We do club activities at our middle school. If someone is in trouble or needs assistance, we give them a helping hand.
Yuuna: Whether it's looking for foster parents for a cat, or cleaning up the neighborhood, or helping out at the Children's Festival! We'll take on helping friends make up too!
Kaoru: Like halfway between a jack of all trades and a volunteer group then.
Fuu: Well, if I had to put it simply, it's something like that.
Yui: A club! So that means, you Heroes always group up in a club room and do your activities!
Yui: All these cute girls! All grouped up in one room! What a wonderful secret garden!
Yui: Fuu-san! I'm going to join the Hero Club too!! I'll fill out a club entry form straight away!
Kaoru: What are you even going on about...
Fuu: Let's get back on topic! Today's Hero Club activity is~~... Tadah! We'll get Mihono and Kiyoka on friendly terms again!
Fuu: Does anyone have any good ideas?
Yui: Hmm, Kiyoka-chan was strangely mad this time, so I don't think she'll let Mihono-chan off very easy.
Sonoko: A grudge over pudding is a fearsome thing after all~.
Kaoru: Keep eating it over and over and anybody's patience'll run out.
Yuuna: Hmm, what should we do then, Tougou-san.
Tougou: It's difficult, isn't it.
Tougou: If I were angry at Yuuna-chan, I would forgive her as soon as she apologized though...
Karin: What if she gives her a set of high grade supplements and niboshi?
Itsuki: I think you're the only one who would forgive someone with that, Karin-san...
Yuuna: I know! Since they're fighting over pudding, wouldn't it work if they make up over pudding too?
Yui: You mean, if we buy the same pudding that Kiyoka-chan bought, she'll forgive her?
Yuuna: No, what she should give her has got to be homemade! She can make up with Kiyoka-chan with homemade pudding!
Yuuna: So that's why, Mihono-chan, let's make pudding in a bucket, and then you can make up with Kiyoka-chan!
Mihono: Yuuna, Tougou-san, Sonoko... And Kaoru-san too, thanks, for coming to help me!
Mihono: I'll give my best attempt at making a bucket of pudding!
Kaoru: ...At what point did it become a bucket of pudding?
Yuuna: If you're trying to make up with someone, bigger is always best!
Mihono: Yeah! A bucket of pudding would definitely make her happier than normal pudding!
Kaoru: ...These two are just peas in a pod, huh.
Sonoko: So long as they're having a good time~. By the way, do you know how to make pudding?
Yuuna: Ah, I don't know how...
Mihono: I don't either...
Tougou: Don't worry, Yuuna-chan, Mihono-chan. I know how you make it.
Sonoko: Wasshi, you can make western sweets too~?
Tougou: Japanese fare is my specialty, but it isn't like I completely dislike western sweets.
Tougou: You know that, don't you, Sonocchi? We had gelatto together after all.
Sonoko: Ahaha, that is true~.
Tougou: Anyway, I'll coach you through how to make it. Since we're making pudding, let's make the tastiest pudding we can!
Mihono: Yeah!
Tougou: That's a good serious look in your eyes, Mihono-chan!
Mihono: I'm the one who ate Kiyoka's pudding, after all.
Mihono: That's why, I'll make pudding that's way yummier than that pudding, and make up with Kiyoka for sure!
Kaoru: I mean, there's no way you're going to beat pudding that was up for sale.
Mihono: Where there's a will, there's a way!
Yuuna: Yeah, that's the spirit, Mihono-chan! You'll make up with Kiyoka-chan for sure!
Mihono: Yeah!
Mihono: ...Ah, I messed up.
Tougou: Don't worry, we brought Sonocchi and Kaoru-san along just for moments like these.
Kaoru/Sonoko: ...Huh?
Mihono: I did it... I did it, Yuuna!
Yuuna: You did it, Mihono-chan!
Kaoru: Burp... G-Great... If you messed up any more... I couldn't eat any more...
Sonoko: Partway through... I started to feel like I was the one being eaten by the pudding instead...

4: Kiyoka's Feelings

While Mihono was making bucket pudding with Yuuna and the others...

Fuu: Then, Kamakura!
Karin: We sure are in Kamakura, but... Were you really supposed to use "Then, Kamakura!" at times like this? [When major incidents happened during the Kamakura Shogunate, all samurai would be summoned to Kamakura, and over time this phrase just came to mean "in case of emergency"]
Fuu: Don't sweat the small things! Right now, let's have our fill of Kamakura!
Itsuki: Kiyoka-san, Yui-san. Thank you for taking us to see the sights on such short notice.
Yui: If a pretty looking girl like you is asking me to show her around, then I'm all over it!
Yui: Right, Kiyoka-chan!
Kiyoka: ...
Yui: Kiyoka-chan?
Kiyoka: Ah, sorry, I wasn't listening. What is it?
Itsuki: Thank you for taking us sightseeing, Kiyoka-san.
Kiyoka: It's fine, it's nothing to show you around!
Yui: ...Kiyoka-chan's head is off in the clouds.
Itsuki: Do you think her fight with Mihono-san is bothering her after all?
Yui: That's probably it. I've never seen them fighting for this long before...
Itsuki: I hope we can make things up between them here... We'll have to do our best to take Kiyoka-san out around town until Mihono is finished with her bucket pudding!
Yui: Itsuki-chan, you're so considerate... I love you!
Fuu: Whoa now! Before you lay a hand on my Itsuki, you'll have to go through me first!
Yui: Then it's a duel!
Karin: ...What're they playing around for.
Karin: Honestly... Kiyoka, is there any spots you'd recommend we go see?
Kiyoka: ...
Karin: Sigh. If it's bothering you that much, then why are you even fighting with her in the first place?
Kiyoka: Uu... Wh-Why do you know about that...
Karin: Anyone can tell just by seeing you two. Mihono ate your pudding, didn't she?
Kiyoka: You can tell that much just by looking!?
Yui: Ah, sorry. I told them about that part.
Karin: I think it's Mihono's fault for eating the pudding, but have you not considered apologizing to her yourself?
Kiyoka: But... This isn't even the first time Hono-chan has eaten someone's pudding either...
Kiyoka: And also, I was looking forward to sharing it with everyone too...
Kiyoka: This time, I just wanted Hono-chan to apologize...
Fuu: I understand!
Fuu: A grudge over food is a fearsome thing~. I know if somebody ate the udon I was looking forward to having myself, I'd be mad for sure.
Kiyoka: Y-You would, wouldn't you!
Fuu: But you know, Kiyoka. If Mihono never apologizes, what happens then?
Kiyoka: Th-Then... I wouldn't like that.
Fuu: In that case, you don't have to think so hard about it. If you want to make up with her, you just have to do it.
Itsuki: If you said you wanted to make up with her, I'm sure Mihono-san would be happy to hear it.
Kiyoka: ...You think so?
Itsuki: I do!
Kiyoka: ...Just give me a minute!
Karin: Hey, where are you going!?
Kiyoka: I'm going... to buy some pudding!
Fuu: Good then, that's a case closed.
Yui: And a happy ending...
Itsuki: Wait, that's not good! If she goes back now, Mihono-san is still in the middle of making bucket pudding!
Yui/Fuu: Ah.
Karin: There's no other way around it. Yui, tell us some famous sightseeing places.
Karin: That's what we said to bring her out here to begin with, so when she gets back, we'll just do that to waste time like we planned.
Fuu: That ability to think on your feet... That's my Hero Club!
Yui: Karin-chan... I love you!
Karin: You'll go for anyone, huh.
Kiyoka: ...I wonder if I can really make up with Hono-chan.
Yui: Considering it's Mihono-chan, I'm sure it'll go fine.
Fuu: That's right, Hero Club tenet number 5! You're likely to succeed if you try!
Kiyoka: ...Aha! I can do it if I try, right!
Mihono: Kiyoka, I'm sorry!
Kiyoka: Eh? A big, pudding...?
Mihono: Y-Yeah, Yuuna said, I needed pudding to make up for pudding... That's why, I worked real hard to make a bucket full of pudding!
Kiyoka: Umm, I followed Fuu-san's advice too, and I bought you some pudding...
Mihono: Eh, you got some too...?
Kiyoka: Y-Yeah...
Fuu: Fu fu, no use hiding it now that it's come out! That's right, in order to bring you two back together, the Hero Club was pulling the strings the whole time!
Mihono/Kiyoka: Pfft, ahahaha!
Mihono: Sorry again, Kiyoka.
Kiyoka: No, I'm sorry too, Hono-chan!

5: Mankai

Suzuka: An aradama's signal has been detected. Is everyone ready?
Mihono/Kiyoka: Yes!
Yuuna: Alright, let's do our best-!
Sonoko: It feels fresh and exciting protecting somewhere outside of Shikoku~.
Kaoru: You know, you guys are weirdly fixated on Shikoku.
Karin: It's not that we're fixated on it. It's just... In our world, Shikoku is all that's left.
Mihono: What do you mean?
Sonoko: In the world that we came from, for the last 300 years, the land outside of Shikoku has been inhospitable to human life.
Sonoko: Because of the vertex... The common enemy of humanity in our world.
Kaoru: ......
Kaoru: If I'm being honest, I only half believed all this stuff you were saying about another world, but it doesn't sound like you're messing around here.
Kaoru: Nobody would look so serious saying something like that if it were all a big lie.
Sonoko: Thank you... Kaoru-san.
Yui: Vertex... They're like the aradama are in our world, right? If something goes wrong here, our world could end up like that too...
Suzuka: That's what we toji are here to prevent from happening. We're moving out!
Karin: HAAAAAA!!
Fuu: Phew, aradama sure are tough. We can't use Mankai either...
Sonoko: Fuumin-senpai. It seems like we can use Mankai for this~.
Fuu: ...Huh?
Sonoko: A little bit ago, when no one was around, I used it myself in secret~.
Fuu: You what!? That's too reckless...
Sonoko: Don't worry, don't worry. As you can see, I'm just fine. The rules for Mankai now seem to be different from both in the past, when there was Sange, and also after it was updated.
Sonoko: There are no after-effects from Sange. It also seems like we can use it many times over. The Shinju-sama might be giving us a favor here~.
Fuu: Ehh!? Like an extra special measure...? The Shinju-sama must be going through good times...
Fuu: Well, alright then! Let's take full advantage of this favor! We're using Mankai, Itsuki!
Itsuki: Wait for me, Onee-chan! I'm going too!
Suzuka: What is that about... They're overwhelmingly more capable than before.
Sonoko: That's called Mankai. It's a Hero's ultimate weapon~.
Mihono: And, all of you can do that?
Karin: Yep. I'll show you what a complete Hero's Mankai looks like!
Sonoko: I'm going with you~!
Kaoru: Ohh, these guys, they're actually pretty strong.
Mihono: We've gotta put in our best effort too! Kiyoka, can you watch my back?
Kiyoka: Of course, Hono-chan!
Mihono: I'm counting on you! HAAAAAAA!!
Yuuna: Mihono-chan and Kiyoka-chan, they seem like they'll be fine now!
Tougou: They sure do. Mihono-chan is taking point, while Kiyoka-chan backs her up.
Tougou: They're a good match for each other.
Aradama: oooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Mihono: Uwah!? Some kind of super strong looking aradama just came out!?
Suzuka: It's daunting compared to the aradama we've faced so far.
Tougou: The boss of them all must have shown itself here then.
Yuuna: Leave it to me! I'm using Mankai here!
Yuuna: HERO PUUUNCH!
Aradama: GUOOO!
Tougou: If you're going in, Yuuna-chan, then I'll be with you! I'll carry out an all out assault on the enemy forces!
Aradama: GUOOooo...!
Yuuna: Mihono-chan! Kiyoka-chan! We softened up the aradama!
Mihono: Okay! Just leave the rest to us!
Mihono: Let's go, Kiyoka!
Kiyoka: Right!
Mihono: The Heroes have some great teamwork and cooperation, but we'll show them the investigation team can do just as good too!
Kiyoka: Okay!! Let's do it!
Mihono/Kiyoka: HAAAAAA-!!
Aradama: OoooOOooo...
Mihono: We... We beat it!!
Kiyoka: We did, didn't we, Hono-chan!
Mihono: It's all because you were here with me!
Kiyoka: No, it's because you were so strong, Hono-chan!
Karin: Look at that, now they're as close as can be.
Yui: Mmhm, that closeness is a thing of beauty. I want to get in there too!
Fuu: We beat the aradama, and Mihono and Kiyoka safely made up with each other! That's the Hero Club's work here finished! Good work, everyone!
Yuuna: Wh-What was that!?
Sonoko: Ah... It seems like, that's all for this time.
Sonoko: I'm starting to lose feeling in my body... I'm sure we're being drawn back to our world on the other side.
Mihono: You mean, we already have to say goodbye!?
Tougou: It seems that way... Though it's a shame. Like last time, it's so sudden.
Fuu: We might not have been together for long, but it was a lot of fun being in this world. Thanks for that.
Mihono: Wait! I still didn't...!
Yuuna: See you, everyone...
Mihono: Ah... They disappeared...
Kaoru: Man... They sure were a loud bunch. But with them gone, it'll be kind of lonely too.
Mihono: ...I still didn't tell them thanks for helping me make up with Kiyoka.
Kiyoka: Hono-chan...
Suzuka: They say that what happens twice will happen thrice. If you want to thank them, you can do it next time you meet.
Mihono: Yeah, that's right, isn't it.
Mihono: Ah, oh yeah. Since the mission's over, does everyone want to go get something to eat?
Suzuka: That sounds fine. Given the occasion, I think I'll join you.
Yui: Alright!
Kiyoka: What should we have?
Mihono: That'll be... Udon, of course!

6: So I Never Forget Again

Sonoko: YAAAAAAA!
Mihono: DEEIIII-!!
Tougou: With that, the aradama have been suppressed.
Mihono: Thanks, Tougou-san, Sonoko! Now we just need to collect up the noro...
Mihono: Huh, someone's calling? It's Konohana-san.
Mihono: Hello, this is Asakura Mihono.
Suzuka: This is a report from the Special Sword Administration Bureau. After defeating the aradama from this abnormal outbreak, there have been cases of unidentified objects being found along with the noro.
Mihono: Unidentified objects?
Suzuka: Yes. The shape is always a four sided pyramid. As for their size, many of them are larger than a human body.
Suzuka: I'll send a photo, so please confirm with those "Heroes" with you if they can shed any light on the subject.
Mihono: Whoa, what are those... They're like pyramids.
Mihono: Hey, Tougou-san, Sonoko! Do you know anything about these things? It sounds like they're coming out of aradama after they get beaten...
Tougou: This is.. The soul of a vertex!?
Mihono: Soul? What do you mean
Tougou: For the enemies that appear in our world, the vertex, this is something similar to their heart.
Sonoko: If this is coming out of aradama, then does that mean the aradamas out there have been eating up vertex souls~!?
Tougou: Mihono-chan, the aradama appearing now may have grown stronger because they've taken in these souls...
Mihono: Really!?
Sonoko: We can't prove it, but it sounds likely... The vertex and aradama both have their relation to divinity, so it could be the aradama have what it takes to assimilate it.
Sonoko: Either way, we can't go leaving those vertex souls here in your world, so we'll be bringing them back with us.
Mihono: Then, did the aradama we just beat have those in them too...?
Mihono: Wait, this isn't one of those pyramids. What is it?
Sonoko: Hmm, I haven't seen this before, but... I'm not getting a bad feeling from it, so I don't think it's dangerous?
Mihono: Okay, then I'm going to try touching it!
Sonoko: You really are a "leap before you look!" kind of girl, aren't you, Mihocchi~. Just like Yuuyu.
Mihono: You mean Yuuna? Well you're right, I feel like I could really get along with her!
Tougou: Fufu, that's true. You two are very much alike, so I'm sure you would get along.
Tougou: But, the closest one to Yuuna-chan will always be me.
Mihono: Uhh, your voice got all serious all of a sudden...
Mihono: Anyway, I'm going to try touching the weird object!
Mihono: Eh... Huh?
Tougou: What is it?
Mihono: Ah... It's like... I remembered. When we were in that Jukai place, all of us fighting along with the Heroes... Huh? Why did I forget about that, anyway?
Sonoko: After touching the strange object that came from the aradama, your memories came back...? Here, let me see that for a minute~.
Sonoko: Ah. There's a message, on the Hero app on our phones... "Sensing a spiritual power"?
Sonoko: ...Hmmmm, if the app is reacting to it, then maybe this could be, a piece of the Shinju-sama's power~?
Tougou: Then, when Mihono-chan came in contact with the Shinju-sama's power, her memories of us returned?
Mihono: If that's what happened... Then, so long as we have these, we won't forget all of you!?
Sonoko: Mmm~, I'd say there's a chance at least. We don't know how long the Shinju-sama's influence will go on for, so unless we collect a lot of them, it might not work.
Mihono: Okay-, then I'm going to collect a whole bunch! I'll beat all the aradama, and get them all! Where there's a will, there's a way!
Tougou: We'll give you assistance. We only just managed to meet again, so it would be too sad for you to forget.
Sonoko: I'll help too~!
Mihono: Thanks a lot! Let's go and beat up the next group of aradama right away!
