4-4 Recovery

1: Traces of Yomi (1)

Suzuka: --We can see it now; the Tokyo Station building. Yomi-san, wherever you are, please be safe...
Yume: Hey, doesn't the sky look really bad? The gate to the netherworld is getting a whole lot bigger.
Suzuka: It is. We can't have much time left.
Maki: Suzuka, Yume. Go back and leave this to me. I'll handle the rest here on my own.
Suzuka: After all that's happened, you're still acting like that...?
Yume: There's no way we're letting you do this on your own, Maki-onee-san...!
Yume: The elite guard are all going to get Yomi-onee-san together!
Maki: Kh... More aradama!?
Aradama: SHAAAAAAAAAA!
Yume: Aghh, come on! You're in our way! We're in a hurry here, so go away!

2: Traces of Yomi (2)

Maki: ...Look over there, you two! At the door to the building!
Yume: That's... What's left of Yomi-onee-san's aradama? There's so many of them...
Suzuka: There should be no mistaking that this is where Yomi-san was going.
Maki: From the looks of things, Yomi's relying far too hard on the power of noro.
Suzuka: Considering that, Yomi-san must already be...
Yume: We can still make it! Because the elite guard is the four of us together! We can't give up, no matter what!
Suzuka: Yume...
Maki: ...That's right. Yume's right. Let's get to Yomi as fast as we can!

3: She's Alive! (1)

At that time, with Etou Kanami and Origami Yukari, who had gone ahead to Tagitsuhime--

Kanami: Tagitsuhime!
Tagitsu: --Why have you come?
Kanami: For you to give it back, Kogarasumaru--
Kanami: ...Nn!? What's wrong, Chidori!?
Yukari: ......! ...So that's how it is. She's alive, Etou Kanami.
Yukari: Juujou Hiyori is still alive! Inside of her-- Inside Tagitsuhime!
Yukari: That resonance is the will and knowledge of Kogarasumaru!
Kanami: Hiyori-chan... she's... alive...?
Kanami: She... is...
Kanami: Then... We can't be crying now! Not me, or Chidori!
Kanami: SEYAAAAAAAAAA!!

4: She's Alive! (2)

Kanami: Tagitsuhime!!
Yukari: Kgh... My utsushi's gone!!
Tagitsu: I apologize. It's difficult managing ones strength when handling flies.
Kanami: UAAAAAAGGGGHHHHH!!
Kanami: Gh... Not yet!
Tagitsu: --Hmph.
Kanami: Grgh...!
Tagitsu: Heh. Is that all? Where is the technique you once tried to kill me with?
Kanami: Pant... Pant...... SEIII!!
Tagitsu: What's that?
Kanami: Give back-- HIYORI-CHAN!!
Tagitsu: ...What a fool.

5: Yomi and Yukina (1)

Aradama: GUAAAAAAA!!
Yukina: Get away from me-! Get away get away get away-! You damned aradama! Just who do you think I am-!?
Aradama: SHAAAAAAAA!
Yukina: KYAAAAA!! ...No... Stay back... Why... isn't anyone here...!
Yukina: After everything I did for you! After all the love I gave you! After all that, why!?
Yukina: Princess!! Yukari-sama!! Why did you leave me-!?
Yukina: Don't cast me aside!! Don't leave me on my own...!!
Aradama: GRRRRAAAAA!!
Yukina: ...? Wh-What was....?
Yukina: Suijingiri Kanemitu...? ...Yo...mi?
Aradama: SHAAAAAAA!
Yomi: ......Do not... Get in my way...!

6: Yomi and Yukina (2)

Yukina: Yomi...
Yomi: When I--
Yomi: When I passed the toji qualification exam, I left Akita. My family and everyone from my hometown were filled with pride.
Yomi: I never lacked in effort. I arrived earlier than anyone to practice, and left after all others had gone. To be a toji as soon as I could, I spent my free time swinging a practice sword, alone.
Yomi: Even so, I was not chosen by the okatana. I didn't have... The strength for it.
Yomi: Still, I continued to practice with a sword. Believing that my dream would come true. But--
Yomi: I saw the backs of my classmates as they passed me again and again. Again, and again, and again...
Yomi: I was forced to accept the reality of my own powerlessness. However, I could not run back home.
Yomi: The faces of everyone congratulating me were burned in my mind--
Yomi: I couldn't stand the thought of disappointing them. It was frustrating. It was agonizing.
Yomi: At that time, President Takatsu approached me.
Yukina: If you want power, I can give it to you.
Yukina: You have nothing to worry about. Your talents make you suitable to receive this power.
Yomi: She said that I had talent. She gave me power. She was the only one, President Takatsu--
Yomi: The only one who acknowledged me.
Yomi: President Takatsu was the one who gave me hope. For President Takatsu, I would give anything.
Yomi: Even my life--
Yukina: ...Hmph, I was sure you had dropped dead by now, but you're stubborn if nothing else.
Yomi: ......
Yukina: You total failure of a guinea pig... Have you come to laugh at me now that I've lost everything?
Yomi: ......Pres...ident...
Yukina: HYAA!! Get away!! Don't come any closer!!
Yomi: .........I have... now... returned... President Takatsu.
Yukina: --!! ...Yomi... You...
Yukina: You came back for me...!? Not the princess, or Yukari-sama, but for me...!!
Yomi: ......
Aradama: GUUAAAAA!!
Yukina: ......!
Yomi: ...!
Yukina: Yomi, wait...!

7: Delaying (1)

Mihono: Pant... Pant... The number of aradama... Just keeps getting bigger and bigger...
Chie: We should have expected it, since the gate to the netherworld is getting closer, but even this is more than I could have imagined...
Chie: At this pace, we won't make it to Yukari-sama and the others...!
Mirja: --! Imperial guard, straight ahead! Brace yourselves!
Chie: Kh... Here to slow us down again...!?
Kiyoka: Everyone! I'll stay behind and draw the guards away!
Kofuki: Oi oi, are you gonna be able to manage that? I thought you were scared of fighting other toji?
Kiyoka: I can't be like that in a situation like this! We all have to work together if we want to make sure Hono-chan gets there in time!
Kofuki: Heheh, trying to make up for being a "waste of a toji"...? Look at you acting all cool!
Kofuki: Oi, Mirja, Chichie. I'm staying with her. Look after Mihocchi for me.
Mirja: Musumi Kiyoka, Shichinosato Kofuki! You are both approved to temporarily act on your own!
Chie: Take care of yourselves, you two!
Imperial Guard A: Stop-! We won't let you go anywhere!
Kofuki: Shut the hell up! We're the ones dealing with you!
Kiyoka: You aren't going to get in Hono-chan's way!
Mihono: Fukki! Kiyoka! Thanks! I'll see you again soon!
Kiyoka: ...Kofuki-san. Thank you, for staying behind with me.
Kofuki: Forget about it! But as payback, that limited offer pudding you left in the fridge is mine!
Kiyoka: Ah... About that pudding, I forgot to write my name on it, so Hono-chan ate it...
Kofuki: WHA---!? Again-!? Why does she think anything without a name on it is okay for her to eat!?
Kofuki: ...Kiyoka, something important came up that I've gotta deal with. Let's wipe the floor with these guards already.
Kiyoka: ...Alright!

8: Delaying (2)

Kofuki: ...You know, for all that big talk back there, you're still hesitating against other toji. Your timing's off when you're getting serious.
Kiyoka: I-I'm sorry...
Kofuki: Well, since we won, it's all good! --C'mon, let's catch up to Ahocchi and them! [aho means dumb]
Kiyoka: Ah, you haven't forgotten about the pudding, have you. Fufu. You're cute when you get like that, Kofuki-san.
Kofuki: Shut up! Don't eat people's food if you don't want what's coming to you! That's the way the world works!

9: Come Back to Me!! (1)

Kanami: Give Hiyori-chan back! Give her back...! Give her back...!!
Tagitsu: Oh...?
Yukari: Such incredible force of will...
Kanami: Give her back... Give her back... Give her back... Give her back...!!
Yukari: Is that the depth of her feelings for Juujou Hiyori...?
Kanami: Hiyori-chan!! Come back to me!! UAAAAAA!!
Kanami: I'm... Right here!! Hiyori-chan!!!

10: Come Back to Me!! (2)

Kanami: HYAAA!!
Tagitsu: Grgh...!
Kanami: Hiyori-chan!!
Hiyori: ...That voice... Kanami...? Ahh, honestly...
Hiyori: No matter where I go...
Hiyori: Kanami!
Tagitsu: Oh... Urgh... --GAHH!!
Hiyori: HAAAAAAAAA!!
Kanami: --Hiyori-chan!?
Hiyori: Your voice really carries.
Kanami: Hiyori-chan...
Tagitsu: So the little chicks have grown into a pair of lovebirds. Certainly an auspicious moment--
Tagitsu: But it ends here!
Yukari: You won't have the chance!!
Kanami: -!? UWAAAAAH!? The floor's... Falling apart!! We're gonna fall!!
Tagitsu: Yukari...!

11: For You to be Here (1)

Aradama: GUAAAAAAA!!
Yomi: ...!
Yukina: Yomi, wait...!
Yomi: President... Takatsu...
Maki: There she is!
Suzuka: Yomi-san!
Yume: Yomi-onee-san! Half her body, it's all... Turned into an aradama...!!
Suzuka: How could you be so reckless...!
Maki: President... Takatsu...?
Yukina: You three...
Maki: That's why... That's what you were after, Yomi...! Why you came here!
Aradama: GUAAAAAAAA!!
Maki: Every second counts! Suzuka! Yume! Don't let Yomi exert herself! We're going to finish this right here!
Suzuka: Right!
Yume: Got it!

12: For You to be Here (2)

Maki: Yomi...
Yomi: All of... you... Why are... you here...?
Yume: Isn't it obvious? We came here for you, Yomi-onee-san!
Suzuka: Yomi-san, you're the third seat of the elite gaurd...
Maki: Our irreplaceable friend.
Yomi: Your... friend...
Yume: The four of us are one; that's the elite guard! Right?
Suzuka: That's right. After all, if one of us were to be missing, what would that make of us?
Yomi: .........But, I...
Maki: Come back with us, Yomi.
Yomi: ............I will---
Other: Angels of the Battlefield
Yui: Nghh~... It hurts all over; this might actually be pretty bad for me...! I still have the stamina to keep going, but...!
Yui: If I could just stop the pain, I'm sure I could pull through somehow!
Yui: Ahh, I'm in serious trouble here... I think? I promised Mirja-san, I'd make it back alive no matter what. I don't want to make Mirja-san mad at me...
Yui: Waiiit? But having that cool beauty glaring down at me and yelling, that's like a reward on its own!
Yui: Huh? But I have to make it back alive so she can yell at me... Ah... But if I make it back alive, she won't be mad...?
Yui: Mm? What am I even saying anymore? Is the pain making me not make any sense?
Yui: Ahh~... Wowww, two angels are running over this way. You really do get to see stuff like this...
Toji A: This is the rescue team, one toji has been secured!
Toji B: No issues with her vitals! However, she seems to be somewhat delirious!
Yui: Huh...? Am I saved?
