Prisma Codes
Prelude
???:
Hey, we can be friends forever and ever and ever and ever, right? Right?
???:
...Idiot. Are you stupid?
???:
You screamed, “I'm done with you!” at me yesterday. Did you already forget?
???:
Um, I forgot. Besides, it's okay!
???:
Magic. We have magic!
We are magical girls after all!
???:
Magical...girl? You call yourself that?
What's that? Don't you mean a witch?
???:
Don't you think it's embarrassing to admit your own immaturity? That's just a failure. Besides...
???:
I-I don't have any talent for magic...
I can read some spell tomes, but that's about it...
???:
Hey, what are you talking about? That's plenty talented! I can never do what you do! I get stuck right away!
???:
Don't write yourself off so quickly! You're such an idiot... Don't give up before you even start...
???:
If you want to use magic properly, you should start by studying runes—
???:
Study...? Oh, sorry, sorry. I'll try my best.
???:
What am I to do with you...
???:
Senpai. Senpai.
Get a hold of yourself.
???:
This is not the time to be sleeping. If you don't get up...
I will (censored) you. Is that okay with you?
???:
To do that, I must muster up all the courage in my body and put everything I have into it. There's no other way.
???:
Is that really okay?
I'm really going to (censored) you.
Fujimaru 1:
That's scary. I should get up.
Mash:
Good morning. A wonderful awakening, that's the Senpai I know.
Mash:
From the way you sleep to the way you rise up like a submarine making an emergency ascent...
Mash:
You have grown so much. I can't slack off anymore.
Mash:
I guess I have to ask Kiyohime to teach me the Hot Fire Wake Up Time technique next time.
Fujimaru 2:
Zzz... (Show me what you've got.)
???:
Hm? You're actually awake, aren't you, Senpai?
???:
When you sleep, your ears move back and forth like when Fou is dreaming, so I can tell.
???:
...Senpai?
???:
That was just a little joke. There is no point training your facial muscles now.
???:
In some way, I respect you for putting efforts in such trivial matters... But right now I need you to focus that effort somewhere else.
Mash:
...There you go. Finally.
Mash:
It seems like another unexpected Rayshift.
Although it seems like just... the two of us.
Mash:
I've never seen such a place before.
Fujimaru 1:
Wow... Sure is an unusual sight.
Mash:
Yes. We've visited many different eras in world history, but this time I can't even tell if it's Earth or not...
Mash:
This is like a different world. I feel uneasy.
Fujimaru 1:
Let's take a look around.
Mash:
I agree. Let's explore with caution.
Mash:
Never mind the Servants.
I'm concerned if Fou might have been involved.
Fujimaru 2:
Let's contact Chaldea.
Mash:
I already tried... But I am not getting any response...
Mash:
Do they realize that we've disappeared from Chaldea? Even so...
B：???:
Aaaaah!
Mash:
Oh, I hear something over there. Could it be Fou?
...No, it sounded more cheerful...
B：???:
Aaaaah! Move out of the way!
Mash:
Master, watch out!!
Mash:
Ouch!
Fujimaru 1:
Mash!? Are you okay?
Mash:
I'm fine... (Sniff, sniff)
I'm a Shielder, after all... (Sniff)
B：???:
Oh my, I can't believe we bumped into each other head-on like that! I am very sorry!
Fujimaru 1:
A talking... stick?
B：???:
Oh my! I sense powerful magical energy from you.
Are you outsiders as well?
B：???:
Well, well! Lucky me! In that case, can I ask you for a tiny favor?
Fujimaru 1:
Um, is something wrong?
B：???:
Yes! There is!
B：???:
I'm being chased by a very scary person!
We were fighting and I got blown sky-high!
Mash:
Fighting!? This place seems so peaceful, yet there are enemies here? ...And who exactly are you, anyway?
???:
Ooooh, you want to know, hmm?
Are you infatuated by my devilish charm?
???:
Then I shall tell you! Get a load of this: I'm...
Fujimaru 2:
Um, so what the heck are you?
???:
Well, well, well! Intrigued, are you?
You wanna know, do you?
Mash:
It seems so happy...
???:
Well, then, let me introduce myself!
I am the alluring synthonatural spirit...
Ruby:
The Magical Stick of Love and Justice, Magical Ruby! YES, IT'S ME!
Ruby:
Oh, I'm so sorry about bumping into your face earlier. (Bowing)
Mash:
No, it's fine...
...Wait!
C：???:
Oh my, it's just the stick.
You're still alive?
C：???:
You're very tough. I guess you weren't kidding about being a gem-type Mystic Code.
Fujimaru 1:
A sudden barrage of attacking spells!?
Mash:
...And they're airborne!
Ruby:
Pink hair... It's her! The one who sent both my Master and me flying!
Ruby:
Warning! WARNING!
1ins: A Strange, Strange Land of Sweets I
C：???:
Wow, another new guest? But...this Master and its familiar seem pretty boring.
Mash:
Are you talking about...us?
Am I the familiar?
Fujimaru 1:
Are you a Servant?
C：???:
A Servant? Me? Ha ha, what are you talking about!?
C：???:
How humorous and pathetic. That's so cute.
You are worth teasing♡
C：???:
Wound up here, oblivious to everything, like a pitiful bunch of lost rabbits. That's it, isn't it?
Fujimaru 2:
Are you...Queen Medb?
C：???:
Oh, you know who I am? That makes me a little happy. But you're a little off the mark.
Mash:
It's true... Something feels off about her.
That tiara seems more sparkly than usual...
C：???:
Fine, I shall tell you the name of the queen who will be ruling you from today.
C：???:
I'll say it only once, so listen carefully. If I have to repeat myself, I'll feed you to my guard dog♡
C：???:
Men's hopes of servitude and dreams of enslavement are my energy source! I'm the greatest magical girl of all!
Medb:
I am the Magical Girl of Honey and Geis, Connacht☆Medb! Oh, you don't need to be so formal with me!
Fujimaru 1:
Magical Girl Medb!
Medb:
That's right! Awww... You're the first one to ever actually do it!
Medb:
Not bad... Not bad at all! I'm so embarrassed I could die! What an irresistible feeling!
Fujimaru 2:
Magical College Student Medb!?
Medb:
Girl! Magical Girl! Why are you being so specific?
Medb:
Sure, I know I barely qualify as a girl anymore.
But just go along with it, okay!?
Medb:
ANYWAY! My chariot brought me here with a spectacular entrance as ever.
Medb:
Nowadays I'm the queen who rules the Land of Snow and Honey. That's me. Got it?
Medb:
Now, hand me that magical stick– “Ruby” or whatever it was–right this minute!
Ruby:
Nooooo! There is only one Master to whom I have sworn my heart!
Ruby:
I will never be yours!
Mash:
...Oh no! Summoned enemy entities are heading this way! Master!?
Fujimaru 1:
Uh, Ruby? Is this magical girl bad?
Ruby:
Umm, it's hard for me to judge those things.
Ruby:
But her “it's my land, so anything goes” attitude really makes me mad!
Ruby:
If you were my Master, I wouldn't allow it!
You'd get a punishment BIG TIME!
Fujimaru 2:
What kind of person is your Master, Ruby?
Ruby:
Whoa, is it confession time already?
Ruby:
...She's a very normal girl!
Ruby:
But she can be crazy strong sometimes!
Oh, and she's compassionate! And hardworking!
Ruby:
...I suppose like any other girl she gets swayed easily once her desire switch kicks in, but still...
Ruby:
Kind of scary, huh, how even the brightest among us can become rampaging monsters... Wouldn't you agree?
Mash:
...Senpai? Why are you staring at me? Are you trying to make eye contact?
Mash:
Anyway, let's prepare for battle!
Focus on the monster in front of us for now!
Fujimaru 1:
Roger. Let's give them a hand!
Mash:
Yes, Master!
Medb:
Oh, are you pigs challenging me?
Fine, I'll make you squeal.
Medb:
Go, Reindeer Man! Snowman! Let's show them the Land of Snow and Honey's power!
--BATTLE--
Medb:
Oh, we lost? Really.
You guys are pretty strong.
Medb:
In this neutral zone, it seems my soldiers can't fight at 100%. Lesson learned.
Medb:
But the games have just begun, piggies.
Medb:
I am Queen Medb. I can create as many soldiers as I want.
Mash:
I won't let you summon any more enemies!
Fujimaru 1:
No, Mash! Wait!
Mash:
—!
Medb:
My. Was that an attack? It was so weak, I couldn't tell.
Medb:
Hehe. I know you want to touch me, but hold off on those measly hits, okay?
Mash:
Arg!
Mash:
It's not over yet! I can...do more! Haah!!
Fujimaru 1:
Mash's attacks aren't working at all!?
Medb:
I told you it's useless. It looks like you don't understand the rules yet.
Medb:
But this is nice, very nice. I like that desperate expression, the aura of an underdog!
Medb:
I thought you might be a good snack for Mini Cú, but perhaps I should eat you instead?
Mash:
...
Mash:
My attacks are all being blocked?
How is this possible!?
Fujimaru 1:
Mash, let's retreat! Something's off!
Mash:
But... if we retreat now, we'll be captured by Queen Medb!
Mash:
Something tells me that won't turn out well, so...
I won't... give up so easily!
Medb:
...Hm?
D：???:
That's right! Don't give up!
Mash:
...!?
D：???:
(Panting) I ran too much. Jeez, Ruby!
Fujimaru 1:
Now what!? Who's this!?
Ruby:
Yes, my Master! Ruby is right here!
Ruby:
Sorry for all the trouble! I'm zipping right on over!
Medb:
Hmm...
Medb:
She's not broken despite getting run over by my chariot. This new Magical Girl is quite feisty!
Medb:
You, tell me your name! I may invite you into my invincible army!
???:
Ugh, spouting nonsense again...
Illya:
My... My name is Illyasviel von Einzbern!
Illya:
I don't care about your invincible army!
Just give me back Miyu!
Illya:
Miyu is my... my very best friend!
Illya:
Ruby! Transform!
Ruby:
Certainly!
Ruby:
Compact, Full Open!
Gateway to Mirror World, Revealed!!☆
Ruby:
Die Spiegelform wird fertig zum!
Ruby:
Öffnunug des Kaleidoskopsgatter!
Ruby:
Kaleid liner Prisma☆Illya has arrived!
Medb:
Sorry, ignore my previous invitation. What is with that transformation? It's getting on my nerves.
Medb:
We don't need more of you here.
You're an eyesore, so I'll kill you for real.
Illya:
I wasn't ready before, that's all!
This time you won't have it so easy!
Illya:
Schneiden!
Medb:
You little brat...
Mash:
Wow... It's working! Her attacks are getting through to Medb, Master!
Ruby:
Her movement has slowed down!
Now's your chance!
Illya:
Yup, leave it to me!
Maximum convergence...
Illya:
Feuer!!
Medb:
You're such a brat, I tell you!
Don't you dare get carried awa—
Medb:
Mini Cú!?
Illya:
He took the blow for her!?
Ruby:
I'm guessing you must be her familiar?
Mini Cú:
Hey, Medb. You're getting carried away in someone else's kingdom.
Mini Cú:
If you're gonna go crazy on other people's turf, make sure you're prepared. Your magical barrier is full of holes already, idiot.
Mini Cú:
It's good you want to crush them. They're your enemies. However, only an idiot would drag on a fight on someone else's turf.
Mini Cú:
If you're gonna do it, do it quick. If you fail, return right away. That's basic stuff. Basic.
Medb:
Mini Cú...!
That advice is so flawless!
Medb:
But this is different!
Medb:
Don't you think this the perfect opportunity to show everyone how a magical girl's familiar should act? By sacrificing yourself in the most honorable way?
Mini Cú:
Shut up, don't make me throw codfish and cheese snacks at you. C'mon, we're leaving.
Medb:
Oh Mini Cú, kill me! I love you!
Mash:
Queen Medb and her mysterious familiar have withdrawn. A very bold retreat...
Illya:
Miyu... I need to save Miyu!
...What!?
Illya:
The transformation wore off!? What are you doing, Ruby!? I can't go after that person like this!
Ruby:
Huh? For some reason the magical energy feed isn't stabilizing...
Ruby:
The reception seems strangely poor... Hmm...
Ruby:
Well, if you just walk around, maybe you'll get a bar soon.
Illya:
Like a cell phone!?
Illya:
I'm Illyasviel von Einzbern. I am a 5th year student at Homurahara Academy Elementary School.
Illya:
A-And, uh, I'm... I'm a... I've been forced into the role of a... a m-magical girl...
Illya:
Ahhh! This is really embarrassing when you say it aloud!
Illya:
Um, thank you so much for finding and protecting Ruby! (Bowing)
Illya:
Um, Ms. Kyrielight?
Mash:
Please call me Mash, Miss Einzbern.
Illya:
Oh, me too then! Call me Illya!
All my friends call me that!
Illya:
And, um, who is this (mumble) cool (mumble) person next to you?
Fujimaru 1:
Call me your [♂ big brother /♀ big sister] Fujimaru.
Illya:
Well, that's a little too, er... I'd still be hesitant to do that...
Ruby:
She says that because Illya has an all-purpose husbando big brother who she absolutely adores.
Ruby:
Although, having another person to silently adore when they aren't paying attention wouldn't be so bad. Pretty naughty if you ask me...
Illya:
What are you saying, Ruby!?
No, um, that's not the point!
Illya:
Um, would it be okay to just call you Fujimaru?
Fujimaru 2:
A real magical girl!? I am crying!
Illya:
Crying!? What are you crying for??
Ruby:
Your Magical Girl Power has notably increased lately. Maybe it's time to pass out meet and greet tickets?
Mash:
I didn't know Senpai was that knowledgeable in a specific field of magecraft...
Mash:
Please give me a lesson on it soon, if that's—Hmm?
I need to first binge-watch the entire box set? ...What's a box set?
Illya:
U-Um... Then is it okay for me to just call you...
Illya:
Fujimaru?
Illya:
A-And! Um...
Illya:
I know this is strange to say, but... the aura Mash gives off is kind of similar to my own family's...
Illya:
It's a bit of a relief, considering I don't even know where I am now.
Mash:
Is that... so? I'm glad to hear it.
Ruby:
Ho ho! If by “similar” you mean in terms of their curvaceous figures, then yes, there is one particular failed maid back at the house, isn't there!
Illya:
That's not what I'm talking about!
Mash:
Haha...
Mash:
So let me get your story straight, Illya...
Mash:
While trying to get from your own world to the neighboring “Mirror World,” you and the others ran into some trouble, the cause of which is unknown.
Mash:
After getting caught up in the mix, you and this “Miyu Edelfelt,” another magical girl, wound up here, in this different dimension.
Mash:
Immediately afterward, Miyu was kidnapped by a magical creature,
Mash:
and that's when Queen Medb appeared proclaiming herself as a magical girl, and attacked without question... is that correct?
Illya:
Yes. We've just arrived, and we know nothing about this strange world.
Mash:
We're in the same boat, since we just came from Chaldea too. Still, one thing's for sure...
Mash:
They came here from a parallel world that's different than our Earth.
Illya:
Oh! By the way, I may not look it, but I'm Japanese.
You have a Japan where you're from, right?
Illya:
Fujimaru, Mash, what's your Earth like?
Mash:
...
Fujimaru 1:
We'll... We'll tell you some other time.
Illya:
Oh, that's right. I need to hurry and go save Miyu!
Illya:
But please! I'd like to hear about it!
About that Chaldea place!
Ruby:
Earlier when we slammed into each other, I took the liberty of analyzing you. Force of habit, see.
Ruby:
Mash, you have a very rare class of Heroic Spirit installed, don't you?
Mash:
...Y-Yes. It's Shielder. But I'm not really sure what you mean by “installed,” I'm a...
Illya:
Yes, that! That's it! I just noticed a moment ago!
Illya:
I can't install the class card, Ruby! What should I do?
Illya:
Then Miyu can't either... Oh, I'm sorry.
Mash was in the middle of saying something.
Mash:
No, it's all right. But a spell to let a Heroic Spirit temporarily into your body is very unusual.
Mash:
There are cases as Pseudo-Servants, but they are an exception only used during the Grand Order...
Mash:
Maybe you yourself are special, Illya.
If Miyu uses the same kind of magecraft...
Mash:
There may be a connection to why Miyu was captured.
Mash:
Wouldn't that be a possibility, Master?
Fujimaru 1:
Hmm...
Mash:
Master?
Fujimaru 1:
Isn't a Demi-Servant similar to a magical girl?
Mash:
Right... Wait, what!? Me?
A magical girl...?
Ruby:
Very perceptive, my friend! I can smell magical girl talents just pouring out of Mash!
Ruby:
That means I must've sought help from an unknown magical girl when I was blown away☆
Ruby:
I guess that's my instinct as a magical stick?
Illya:
I'll never forget how you ditched me in the middle of that fight, you know...
Mash:
...Magical...girl...
Dr. Roman:
Fujimaru! Mash! I've finally got hold of you two! Are you okay!?
Illya:
Whoa, whoa! A hologram?
Mash:
Doctor! Yes, we're fine!
There's no need to be afraid, Illya.
Mash:
This is Doctor Roman, chief of medical at Chaldea.
Mash:
He's a trustworthy ally who provides support during our missions.
Dr. Roman:
Oh? Oooohh? I think I sense an incredibly cute and pure magical energy response nearby...
Dr. Roman:
Fujimaru, glance to the right.
Do you see a wonderful Servant in front of you?
Illya:
Oh, um...? Are you perhaps talking about me?
Mash:
Doctor. Illya will get a really bad impression of you, so please restrain yourself.
Dr. Roman:
Yup, that's what I thought.
Don't worry, I'll act like a good, responsible adult!
Dr. Roman:
So, putting that aside, I have news for you.
Please don't be alarmed, but you're—
Dr. Roman:
You're all inside someone's Reality Marble!
1ins: A Strange, Strange Land of Sweets II
C：???:
Miyu...Miyu!
Miyu:
Ung...uhhh...
C：???:
Miyu!
Miyu:
Sapphire? Is that...you?
Sapphire:
Yes, Miyu! It's me, Sapphire!
Sapphire:
Oh, look at you... How heartbreaking...
Miyu:
Sapphire... I'm so glad... You're safe...
Sapphire:
Yes. I'm sorry I'm so late...
Sapphire:
Just wait! I shall use my blade mode to free you from these restraints!
Miyu:
No... Don't touch them...
Miyu:
These restraints may look like tiny ribbons of lace...
But they're draining away all my power...
Miyu:
I'm sure it would... swallow you up too...
Sapphire:
No, Miyu! But then...!
Miyu:
Go find Illya. Please, tell her...
Miyu:
...how dangerous this castle is...how terrifying our foe is...
Sapphire:
Miyu... Understood!
Sapphire:
I, Sapphire, promise to come back for you!
Mash:
...
Illya:
... (Gulp)
Dr. Roman:
I have news for you. Please don't be alarmed, but you're—You're all inside someone's Reality Marble!
Illya:
Huh.
Ruby:
Oh my.
Mash:
Umm...
Fujimaru 1:
What's a Reality Marble again?
Dr. Roman:
Oh, I've gotta explain it from there?
Right, I guess I do.
Dr. Roman:
A Reality Marble is one of the deepest secrets of magecraft.
Dr. Roman:
Basically, it's magecraft that manifests the interior world of the caster, and paints over reality with what's inside their heart.
Dr. Roman:
It's one of the most forbidden of all techniques and just a step below True Magic. Like Unlimited Blade something-or-other.
Dr. Roman:
But of course, under normal circumstances, something that crazy could never last.
Dr. Roman:
A Reality Marble is a stain on reality. The world itself detects that foreign body, that inconsistency, and moves to fix it.
Dr. Roman:
So unfortunately, a Reality Marble usually only lasts a few minutes.
Dr. Roman:
Did that make sense to you, Fujimaru?
And you, cute little lady?
Illya:
Umm... so basically, this entire world is just someone's creation?
Dr. Roman:
Yup. I've never heard of a Reality Marble of this size, though.
Illya:
...I-I see...
Illya:
When I jumped to this world, for an instant I saw what looked like many castles and kingdoms...
Illya:
They were all very clearly visible, and very large.
And there was an area surrounded by a black wall...
Illya:
And all of that was a single spell...
A world that someone made...
Dr. Roman:
Yup yup. It's so satisfying to see the surprised look on your face.
Dr. Roman:
Fujimaru seems to have gotten used to things lately, mostly just reacting with “Eh, it'll work out” and the like.
Dr. Roman:
By the way... (Grin)
I haven't introduced myself yet, have I? (Big grin)
Dr. Roman:
I am Romani Archaman.
Call me Dr. Roman.
Dr. Roman:
Cute little lady, what's your name? Who represents you? And what are your hobbies?
Dr. Roman:
You have a Spirit Origin like a Servant, but you're quite clearly human.
Dr. Roman:
You're not a Demi-Servant or a Pseudo-Servant.
And this powerful magical energy...
Dr. Roman:
Could you be the owner of the Reality Marble?
And would you finally tell me your name?
Illya:
N-No! I-I'm just a magical girl!
Th-Though I don't know if that's much better!
Illya:
Also, sorry for not introducing myself!
I'm Illyasviel von Einzbern.
Dr. Roman:
Thank you for the polite introduction!
Sorry for rushing you!
Dr. Roman:
But... Einzbern... Einzbern, huh...?
I guess that got shot down before it even started...
Illya:
Hmm? Dr. Roman, do you know the Einzbern fam–
I mean, do you know my mom?
Dr. Roman:
No, I've just seen that name before.
But looking at you, I assume you're a different person.
Fujimaru 1:
Doctor, can you get us back to Chaldea?
Dr. Roman:
Yeah. If Mash is with you, it should be fine.
You'll be able to come back.
Dr. Roman:
I hope you do ASAP. Who knows what effects that space will have on you.
Mash:
Can you let Illya take refuge in Chaldea too?
Just temporarily?
Dr. Roman:
Hmm... Sorry, but that's impossible. Given the way the Rayshift works, it just can't happen.
Dr. Roman:
Only Fujimaru and Mash can come back.
Dr. Roman:
We might be able to if she were one of Fujimaru's contracted Servants...
Dr. Roman:
And, hypothetically, even if it were possible...
Dr. Roman:
That would go against our goal of guarding humanity. This is why we've spent so much effort trying not to intervene in other eras.
Mash:
No, Doctor. Listen. She's from a parallel world, different than our own.
Mash:
And if this is all inside a Reality Marble, there should be no danger of us interfering.
Mash:
Can't you ask Da Vinci for help and just—
Illya:
Mash, Mash. Um... I'm fine.
Illya:
Thank you. (Bowing)But it's okay.
Illya:
I have to save Miyu. I can't go escape someplace safe on my own.
Illya:
So I'll do my best, even if I'm all by myself.
Mash:
Illya...
Fou:
Fou, fou!
Fou:
Kyuuuu...
Mash:
Fou...
Illya:
Awah!? What's this fluffy thing?
It's sooooo cute! I want to pet it! I HAVE TO PET IT.
Illya:
...Eep! I-I'm really fine!
Dr. Roman:
Fujimaru. You understand, right?
Fujimaru 1:
This might be a good chance to power up Mash.
Dr. Roman:
Ah, so indeed you do. Good... What?
Fujimaru 2:
MG cuteness is greater than Earth's mass?
Dr. Roman:
Fujimaru! I didn't know you had the same tastes as me!
Dr. Roman:
Oh, no. No. All the staff are looking at me with cold eyes. Please stop, guys...
Dr. Roman:
No! I came to Chaldea to practice my Zen Buddhism!
I don't know anything about otaku culture!
Da Vinci:
I like it! I think it's fine!
Dr. Roman:
Wait, Da Vinci!? You can't just–
Da Vinci:
I've been listening to your conversation.
I'll give you all the help I can offer.
Da Vinci:
From the values I'm seeing, Mash isn't currently able to use her full power.
Da Vinci:
I think it's because the Reality Marble is deciding that she doesn't fully meet its conditions.
Da Vinci:
That world has its own rules, and its own unique Mystic Codes.
Da Vinci:
A lot of good could come from adapting to it, learning from it, and putting all that into practice.
Da Vinci:
It should be a good experience, both for Mash, and for Chaldea.
Da Vinci:
Aside from rescuing this captured magical girl or whatever.
Dr. Roman:
Man, you're cold... Oooohh, fine!
Dr. Roman:
We'll continue to monitor that world and the Rayshifts.
If it's just you two, you should be able to go back and forth. I promise that.
Dr. Roman:
So come back to Chaldea temporarily so we can regroup. That's an order.
Fujimaru 1:
Thank you, Doctor.
Dr. Roman:
... (Sigh)
Mash:
Master, I'm staying here.
Someone has to protect Illya.
Mash:
Even if it's difficult for me to fight magical girls, I can still fight magical creatures!
Mash:
So just come back here later, please.
Fujimaru 1:
Got it. I'll be back as soon as possible.
Mash:
Right, Master! Thank you!
Fujimaru 2:
I thought you'd say that.
Mash:
Th-Thank you...
Mash:
I-I guess you knew exactly what I was thinking...
Oh, d-don't laugh at me!
Mash:
Doctor! The summoning circle's ready!
Dr. Roman:
Okay! Leyline connection confirmed.
You can Rayshift anytime.
Illya:
Fujimaru, Mash, thank you!
Illya:
I wasn't lying when I said I'd even do my best on my own.
Illya:
But this makes me very happy!
This is reassuring!
Fujimaru 1:
I'll be back soon. You two take care.
Dr. Roman:
Welcome back, Fujimaru. Once all your gear's ready, you're going to head back out again.
Dr. Roman:
As the guy in charge, I'd prefer you took a break first... But I guess that's not an option.
Dr. Roman:
At least pack some snacks for Mash and Illya.
Something they'd enjoy eating.
Fujimaru 1:
Did you find the cause of our Rayshift?
Dr. Roman:
I have of course been investigating, but... well...
Dr. Roman:
...To tell the truth, it may have been best that you came back alone, Fujimaru.
Dr. Roman:
Sorry. It's just that... Here. There's something I want to show you.
Dr. Roman:
This is the video of you two just before you disappeared from Chaldea.
Dr. Roman:
It starts with you taking a nap here in the Command Room.
Dr. Roman:
And then Mash comes by, spots you, and tries to wake you up.
Mash:
“Senpai? Oh my. You're sleeping in a place like this again?”
Mash:
“Sheba, Trismegistus, and the rest of the observation equipment will get upset.”
Mash:
“Senpai...”
Fujimaru 1:
Is Mash...? What is this...?
Dr. Roman:
...We can interpret this later.
I'll let you judge how to deal with Mash.
Dr. Roman:
Da Vinci seems to have noticed something, but when I ask her she just laughs and says, “It's still a secret♪”
Dr. Roman:
And there's also the matter of Illyasviel.
I will remind you...
Dr. Roman:
That above all else, you're a member of Chaldea, and the one Master who can bring about the preservation of humanity.
Dr. Roman:
We'll be ready to take you back any time.
Just don't forget about Chaldea's mission.
Dr. Roman:
Be cautious in your judgments. And at times, be cold. Understand, Master Fujimaru?
Fujimaru 1:
...Hey, where's Da Vinci?
Dr. Roman:
In her lab.
Dr. Roman:
She said she had something to give you, Fujimaru.
Dr. Roman:
Swing by before you go.
Blackbeard:
I heard it! I heard it all, Fujimaru!
Phantom:
...
Blackbeard:
You've been invited to a tropical☆wonderland of magical girls!
Blackbeard:
I'm going too! I want to go! Gwahahaha!
Blackbeard:
What is a magical girl? It's what all girls want to be!
It's like what you see on TV!
Blackbeard:
Excitement and thrills? Sparkles!☆ Happiness!♪ Transformations! Partial nudity! Skintight leotards! Corruption! Doujinshi...
Blackbeard:
Magical girls... Magical girls are...
To a gentleman, they're the stuff dreams are made of!
Blackbeard:
By the way, I'm a big fan of tanned skin, you know?
Phantom:
Indeed! I shall sing a song to you.
An exotic Arabian number!
Fujimaru 1:
I'm in a hurry, guys.
Blackbeard:
So am I! I can't contain myself!
Fujimaru 2:
Was there a guy like this in Chaldea!?
Blackbeard:
Hah! Salty! Fujimaru is being salty! And it feels so good!
Phantom:
Lah-lah-lah! Oh, the cruel shadows of the stage awaken the spirits from the depths of the earth!
Fujimaru 1:
I'll think about it.
Blackbeard:
3, 2, 1, time's up! It's settled! When are you taking Teach? When, I say!?
Blackbeard:
Why are you sighing like that?
Fujimaru 2:
You'll corrupt the magical girls. So, no.
Blackbeard:
WHY!? WHY!? WWHHHYYYY!!?
Blackbeard:
I'm begging you, as a comrade! What happened to our alliance!?
Blackbeard:
Grrr... So you insist on not taking us?
FINE! I'll just—
Blackbeard:
I'll tell on you! I'll go air my complaints out to the bride emperor and the drunk loli! Their magical voices will soothe this soul, I swear!
Phantom:
No... No, Captain Black, that won't do... Surely you should tell the Master's true beloved, Kiyohime?
Blackbeard:
Oh, no. That would be bad news. I'm not THAT evil.
Blackbeard:
Wait! We let 'em escape!
Fujimaru 1:
Well, that was a waste of time...
Fujimaru 1:
Hmm?
Fujimaru 1:
Huh? Where's Mash? Where's Illya!?
B：???:
Fujimaru!
Fujimaru 1:
Is that Ruby?
Ruby:
Fujimaru! Trouble! This way!
Fujimaru 1:
What happened?
Ruby:
It's Illya and Mash!
Ruby:
They were abducted by people calling themselves the residents of the Land of Sweets!
1ins: A Strange, Strange Land of Sweets III
D：Candylander:
Please stay here forever, until our expiration date arrives!
E：Candylander:
Live a sweet and fragrant life with us!
Candylanders:
Fun and laughter in the Land of Sweets!
Candylanders:
Home SWEET home, you are MINT to be here, this song will definitely come in CANDY some day!
Mash:
No, um... We can't...
Illya:
Hey, is there a Miyu here?
Did anyone see a black-haired girl?
Illya:
Would you listen to me? Please!
Fujimaru 1:
Mash! Illya! Are you okay!?
Illya:
I-I'm fine, I think!
Mughyuuh...!
Mash:
Senpai! I'm sorry!
Mash:
We tried to ask people we ran into for information about this area...
Mash:
And before we knew it, we somehow ended up getting dragged all the way here!
Mash:
U-Um, please give back my glasses!
Ruby:
In a sense, this is a beautiful sight!
Ruby:
Two beautiful young girls getting completely mobbed by fantastic fairy-tale creatures! (Gulp)
Illya:
Ruby! Stop staring and help!
Fujimaru 1:
Can we calm them down somehow, Mash?
Mash:
Roger!
Mash:
I'll use as little firepower as possible!
Illya:
Me too!
Illya:
I don't have time to waste here!
--BATTLE--
D：Candylander:
Magical... girl...?
E：Candylander:
A magical girl!?
Candylanders:
It's a magical girl!
There's a magical girl here!
Ruby:
Oh? Are they done resisting?
Ruby:
There were a lot more people here, but they all ran off.
Mash:
Was Illya's transformation that scary?
Illya:
That kind of hurts...
Illya:
Oh! Hey, you there. Please, would you hear us out?
D：Candylander:
Aaaaahh! It's a magical girl!
D：Candylander:
I haven't gone stale yet!
My expiration date's a long ways off!
Illya:
C-Come to think of it...
You do look delicious...
Fujimaru 1:
Spill it. She'll get mad if you don't!
Illya:
Huh? R-Right!
R-Rawr!
D：Candylander:
AAAHH! A-As you wish, O Magical One!
Mash:
Um, well. We managed to get some information.
Mash:
They said that the Queen of the Land of Sweets might know something.
Mash:
Medb said she ruled over the Land of Snow and Honey, so it isn't her?
Mash:
Hmm. Is there a misunderstanding here somewhere? If we continue from here, I think we'll end up at this Candy Castle...
Fujimaru 1:
Both a queen and a magical girl, eh...
Illya:
Another queen, huh?
Illya:
It feels really strange for a magical girl to live in a castle and rule a country...
Ruby:
I'm willing to go full Snake on this if you want me to?
Ruby:
But this Reality Marble is too big to travel the whole way! I can't get too far from Illya!
Fujimaru 1:
Candy Castle it is, then.
Illya:
Y-Yeah...I think you're right.
But it's a little scary.
Ruby:
What if it's a magical girl like Rin or Luvia, where magical energy multiplied by violence and age equals destructive power?
Mash:
Um, by the way... I've been meaning to ask, but...
Mash:
What is that fluffy accessory on top of your head, Master?
Mash:
It looks kind of like Fou's ears.
Fujimaru 1:
A Mystic Code. Da Vinci gave it to me.
Mash:
A-A Mystic Code?
Mash:
I assume it has some kind of function in this world, but it's very... unique.
Fujimaru 2:
Is it weird?
Mash:
N-No! It's very cute...
I mean, it looks good on you! In a way, it is wonderful!
Illya:
(Gasp) I-I'm sorry. I didn't notice anything unusual at all.
Illya:
It's a little scary that I no longer ask questions about bizarre costumes...
Illya:
Something is invading and destroying my fashion sense...
Ruby:
You're going to be the leader of the magical girl fashion world, Illya! It's so unlike you to show weakness!
Ruby:
More! You have to be more aggressive!
By the way, are you into Brazilian swimsuits?
Illya:
No! A magical girl who fights in a swimsuit is someone who needs to be committed to a hospital!
Illya:
(Sigh) Whose fault do you think this is anyway?
You should feel more responsible!
Illya:
...Oh, I can see the castle!
1ins: A Strange, Strange Land of Sweets III
D：???:
Guests! We have guests!
Oh, what a glorious day!
D：???:
Come in, welcome!
Have some delicious sweets!
Fujimaru 1:
A girl in a pitch-black dress... Who could she be?
Nursery Rhyme:
My name is Nursery Rhyme!
Nice to meet you!
Nursery Rhyme:
Have some tea–freshly brewed the day before last. Which would you prefer, marmalade or lemon?
Fujimaru 2:
That's Nursery Rhyme!?
Nursery Rhyme:
I'm... Nursery Rhyme?
If you say so, then I must be!
Nursery Rhyme:
Let's have a tea party to celebrate the umpteenth time I have encountered someone new!
Nursery Rhyme:
Nursery Rhyme is a magical girl.
Tom Thumb's cute little picture book.
Nursery Rhyme:
You, a magical girl who fled after completing her duty... And me, broken.
Nursery Rhyme:
I'll make your wishes come true.
Mash:
Uh...Doctor?
Dr. Roman:
Oh, I thought you'd forgotten about me.
Dr. Roman:
Mm, yes, she's definitely a Servant. Although it seems she is not the owner of the giant Reality Marble.
Dr. Roman:
But at the same time, she's apparently also a Master. I suppose that's only natural, given her ability to control such magical beings.
Dr. Roman:
If she's a Caster-class, this is worth investigating.
As such, be very careful!
Mash:
Right, roger that. Ah! Illya!? Master, you too!?
Ruby:
Just enjoying the tea party?
Not a hint of anxiety?
Ruby:
That's my Illya. What a big shot!
Illya:
Whew, I'm so glad we were able to have a nice chat.
Illya:
I'm Illya. Illyasviel von Einzbern.
Illya:
Nursery Rhyme, you're not just a magical girl, but also the Queen of the Land of Sweets?
Nursery Rhyme:
That's right. I'm a big deal.
I can command anything.
Illya:
Th-Then, Your Highness, I have a special favor to ask of you!
Illya:
Can you please tell me if you or the people of the Land of Sweets know anything about a friend who came to this world with me?
Illya:
Anything will do!
If there's anything, then—
Nursery Rhyme:
Sure. If you play with me, I'll tell you.
Illya:
...Huh?
Fujimaru 1:
Are there any other magical girls besides you?
Nursery Rhyme:
If you play with me, I'll tell you the answer to that too.
Illya:
Ugh... Look, Nursery, can't we just play later?
Nursery Rhyme:
No! (Shaking head)
Nursery Rhyme:
I mean, I'm bored. I'm in a rut.
My only playmate is a black sheep.
Nursery Rhyme:
Say, have you seen it? It's a very cute sheep.
Illya:
A black... sheep? I-I can't say I have, no.
M-Meeeh meeeh. Hee hee, just kidding.
Nursery Rhyme:
Tee hee hee! Nothing like that, Illya!
That was terrible!
Nursery Rhyme:
A black sheep sounds like this:
Baaaa, baaa.
Illya:
Oh yeah, that was the Japanese sound.
Um, b-baaa, baaa?
Nursery Rhyme:
Yes, you've got it!
Nursery Rhyme:
Now, let's all call for it together.
Baaaa, baaa.
Nursery Rhyme:
♪Baa, baa, Glasya-Labolas, have you any blood?
♪One of the 72 Spirits, President of Hell!
Nursery Rhyme:
♪Baa, baa, Black Goat, have you any young?
♪Iä, Iä, Shub-Niggurath, Glasya-Labolas!
Nursery Rhyme:
Come to me, come to me! My cute black sheep!
Illya:
!!!
Illya:
Eeep! Y-Y-Y-Yikes! That isn't part of the rhyme!
Mash:
Uh, what!? That's...
Nursery Rhyme:
I'm just so tired of the sweets people. They break straight away, making it impossible to play with them.
Nursery Rhyme:
Although they were originally humans, so I can't blame them.
Nursery Rhyme:
But my black sheep is kinder than anyone.
It'll play with me forever and ever.
Nursery Rhyme:
Now, let's play together.
Fujimaru 1:
No choice but to go all out, it seems...
Illya:
Her way of playing is really different than mine... (Crying)
Ruby:
That's what queens are like.
They're always hungry for excitement.
Illya:
This is too much excitement, don't you think!?
Fujimaru 2:
Mash, go help Illya!
Mash:
Yes, Master!
Mash:
Illya! I'll handle the defense!
Illya:
I-I'm counting on you, Mash!
World End Match: Nursery☆Rhyme
Nursery Rhyme:
Ah, that was so much fun!
Nursery Rhyme:
Huh? What, you're looking for someone? If it's something that simple, you should've told me from the start.
Illya:
I did!!
Illya:
She has black hair, she's a little taller than me, and she's a magical girl like me!
Ruby:
Wait a moment! If we are talking about Miyu's appearance...
Ruby:
I shall project a number of curated photos and videos from your prized collection, Illya!
Illya:
Wait, I don't know what you're talking about!
That can't be good, so stop!
Nursery Rhyme:
Magical girl? Your friend is a magical girl?
Nursery Rhyme:
I see...
Nursery Rhyme:
Then I don't know anything about her.
Nursery Rhyme:
I think you should just give up. Too bad.
Fujimaru 1:
What's that supposed to mean?
Nursery Rhyme:
You know what this world is?
A merry party hall where magical girls gather.
Nursery Rhyme:
When they get tired of playing, they disappear, one after the other.
Nursery Rhyme:
That's the rule. There's no getting around it.
Mash:
So there are magical girls other than Queen Medb?
Nursery Rhyme:
As far as I know.
Nursery Rhyme:
And magical girls who did their best make their own playground.
Nursery Rhyme:
My Land of Sweets is one of them.
Let me see... What else is there...
Nursery Rhyme:
There's the Land of Dragons and Sea, the Land of Dead Bookshelves...
Nursery Rhyme:
Hmm, what else?
...Oh, the Land of Snow and Honey!
Nursery Rhyme:
Those are the kingdoms I've heard of, but I don't know what kind of magical girls live there.
Nursery Rhyme:
Oh, and also...
Illya:
...Also?
Nursery Rhyme:
Nothing. Never mind.
Ah, here. Take this.
Nursery Rhyme:
This is to thank you for playing with me and my black sheep. I had fun.
Illya:
...A j-jewel!? I-It's a diamond!
A big, beautiful diamond!
Ruby:
We got an important item! I feel a sense of affinity!
Illya:
I-I can't accept this!
It's too valuable!
Illya:
I'm sure Rin would be pleased, but giving it to me...
Nursery Rhyme:
It's fine. I'm a magical girl, remember?
And that... That is my special twinkling star.
Nursery Rhyme:
That jewel may help you find your friend.
Illya:
Fujimaru, what should we do?
Fujimaru 1:
Thank her sincerely and accept it.
Illya:
O-Okay. Maybe it would be rude not to...
Nursery Rhyme:
Yep, it would be rude.
Nursery Rhyme:
I'm a queen, so I have no regrets. Ahahaha.
Fujimaru 2:
Maybe we can give it back to her later.
Mash:
I agree with Master.
Mash:
If it can help us in finding Miyu, then I think we should just give in and borrow it.
Illya:
R-Right. Then we'll take it.
We'll give it back to you later, Nursery.
Nursery Rhyme:
...
Ruby:
You did it, Illya! Let's keep going like this and gather more jewels!
Illya:
Um, Ruby, have you lost sight of our goal?
Illya:
We don't even know how this jewel will come in handy yet.
Fujimaru 1:
By the way, Mash, have you noticed?
Mash:
Yes. Are you talking about that last battle?
Mash:
My attack on Nursery Rhyme actually had an effect on her–albeit not completely.
Mash:
Perhaps she and Queen Medb possess different traits, even though they're both magical girls?
Mash:
...Or perhaps I myself have changed in some way?
Dr. Roman:
I can't detect any significant changes in Mash's status from here.
Ruby:
That's not true. Mash's MG Power is skyrocketing!
Dr. Roman:
MG Power? The magical systems in other worlds sure are original...
Dr. Roman:
Talking Mystic Codes alone are unusual,
Dr. Roman:
but that personality is so unique that it goes beyond rare and into the realm of junk...
Illya:
My apologies for all the trouble.
Please ignore 90% of whatever Ruby says.
Illya:
...Ah! The jewel! This light... It's so bright!
Mash:
Nursery Rhyme's jewel is clearly pointing us in a fixed direction.
Dr. Roman:
Hmm. And the direction is...
Dr. Roman:
Going by topography inside the Reality Marble that we've already identified, it's toward a group of islands situated in an ocean.
Dr. Roman:
I'm guessing this is the “Land of Dragons and Sea” that Nursery Rhyme mentioned?
Illya:
The Land of Dragons and Sea...
Fujimaru 1:
All right, let's check it out!
Mash:
...So we're not going to the Land of Snow and Honey, where Queen Medb is?
Mash:
“When in magical lands, do as the mages do,” is it? I see. That might be the case here.
Mash:
I'll follow your instincts, Master.
Illya:
Yes, I think that's a good idea.
We don't know enough about this world.
Illya:
At this rate, we could end up going in circles... or even worse, fall prey to a terrible trap!
Illya:
But if the decision's been made, then come on!
Mash, Fujimaru, let's hurry!
2wei! The Land of Dragons and Sea I
Miyu:
(Huff... puff...)
Miyu:
...!
A：???:
Miyu.
Miyu:
...
A：???:
Answer me, Miyu. Miyu Edelfelt.
You still refuse to be mine?
Miyu:
Don't...touch me. Undo these restraints!
A：???:
...That magical energy of yours, flowing through that Voile de Deuil, is simply wonderful.
A：???:
But it's not just about the magical energy.
Your very existence is functioning as a superb vessel.
A：???:
Just a little more and it will reach the outside world.
Just one more step and I'll be able to fulfill my dream.
Miyu:
I refuse to negotiate with someone who won't show her face!
First Lady:
Heh-heh. I'm the First Lady.
That's what they call me.
First Lady:
As long as all of you are magical girls, you can't resist me.
Miyu:
Sto...Mm, nghh...
First Lady:
Tsk. You bit my lip.
First Lady:
You look submissive, but you're a stubborn one, aren't you?
First Lady:
I don't mind that.
Miyu:
...Hmm? The First... Are you...?
First Lady:
Heh. Those restraints, the Voile de Deuil, are alive.
First Lady:
Will the spell that continues to eat away at your magical circuits reach your subconscious mind first...
First Lady:
...or will your precious Illyasviel arrive here first?
I wonder which it will be.
First Lady:
Either way, I will accomplish it.
The dream of abandoned girls...
Miyu:
Unh...
Miyu:
Illya...
2wei! The Land of Dragons and Sea II
Illya:
Wow, it's the ocean! I can see a dolphin swimming over there, too!
Illya:
I still can't believe that this is someone's imaginary world.
Mash:
Me neither. The scale of it is as large as a Holy Grail phenomenon.
Mash:
Speaking of which, we were lucky that Ruby was equipped with a navigation mode.
Mash:
You truly are all-purpose. Sailing wouldn't have been possible had we been on our own.
Illya:
I'm surprised to see Ruby is actually helpful.
Ruby:
Aw, you're praising me too much! (Embarrassed)
...Hey! I'm always helpful!
Ruby:
I have up to 24 secret functions!
I can pretty much do anything, you know!
Fujimaru 1:
Since we're taking a refreshing voyage, why don't we eat?
Mash:
That's a good idea.
Oh, are these bento boxes from Chaldea?
Mash:
Can we each choose our own?
...I can hardly decide. Illya, which one would you like?
Illya:
Yay! I'm actually starving! Eeny, meeny, miney, mo...
Fujimaru 1:
(Mapo tofu)
Illya:
Eep, it's hot! Is this freshly made!?
Mash:
What? Senpai, did you cook this yourself?
Mash:
A chef in a red overcoat taught you how? With ingredients the doctor provided? When did you...?
Illya:
This mapo tofu is amazing! I can actually eat it! It's not a dangerous-looking color! It's a little bit spicy, yet slightly sweet!
Illya:
Awww, I never imagined such safe mapo tofu existed in this world!
Ruby:
Is that supposed to be your review of the dish?
Mash:
It's so tasty, it's comforting.
But I'm not sure if it's good enough to make you cry.
Mash:
Um, take your time, Illya.
Mapo will never attack you, I think.
Illya:
(Om nom nom) This is so good.
Fujimaru 2:
(Pickled mushrooms)
Illya:
P-Pickled mushrooms!? In a one-kilogram jar!?
Mash:
Wh-Who supplied this to us?
Mash:
Leonidas? He succeeded in growing mushrooms in Chaldea?
Mash:
I didn't know he had such a hobby. I'm impressed. (Adjusts glasses)
Mash:
There's even warm rice and everything. Very well then. Don't mind if I do.
Mash:
(Sniff, sniff... Lick) ... (Om nom nom)
... Oh, actually, this is good.
Illya:
It's delicious! (Om nom nom)
I feel it will help me vigorously speed up my mundane work!
Dr. Roman:
Hi, are you still eating?
No need to stop, but just listen.
Dr. Roman:
There are some things I need to confirm with Illya.
Dr. Roman:
You mentioned that you magical girls faced some trouble when you tried to move to the Mirror World.
Dr. Roman:
How do you return to the real world you originally came from? Do you have any idea?
Illya:
I...
Illya:
I wasn't thinking about it at all!!
Dr. Roman:
Wow, I'm amazed. That might be the secret to the power of magical girls.
Dr. Roman:
So going back is difficult after all...
Dr. Roman:
Um, Ruby? What is your view on this?
Ruby:
Yes? Let me see...
Ruby:
Neither Illya nor Miyu can use spells that advanced.
Ruby:
To be more exact, even if they somehow cast a spell, they wouldn't have the skill and knowledge to precisely select the location to return to.
Ruby:
I need them to figure it out themselves.
After all, I'm just a stick.
Ruby:
Actually, I have no problem with the way it is now, you know?
Illya:
No! It's a big problem! You're not being useful at all, Ruby!
Illya:
But... you're right. I was too busy thinking about Miyu...
Illya:
I was forgetting about many things.
Mash:
I understand. You have your family and friends in the original world, Illya.
Illya:
Yes... Rin and Luvia...
Illya:
Sella, Leysritt, my big brother... Everyone at school... They might be worried about me...
Illya:
(Gasp!)
Ruby:
What's wrong? You look very pale.
Like the pale blue sea! (Smug)
Illya:
Oh my gosh... I forgot something very important...
E：Illya:
Chloe...! I left Chloe behind in the real world!
Ruby:
Well, that may be true, but I have a feeling that Chloe is doing okay without you.
Ruby:
Knowing Chloe, instead of worrying about you, she's probably happy to keep Shirou all to herself. She'd be all, “Whoo hoo! Heh heh heh!”
Ruby:
That tanned little devil is probably turning on her devilish charm and gloating right now!
Illya:
You should be worried about other things!
Like... Like th-that!! Remember THAT!?
Ruby:
Huh? What is it? Can you please explain with words, with that mouth of yours?
Illya:
Morals!
Fujimaru 1:
Is Chloe a friend of Illya's?
Illya:
Um, Chloe is... She's like my twin sister, I guess?
Illya:
I'm sorry. It's a rather long story.
Dr. Roman:
Sounds pretty complicated.
Dr. Roman:
Hmm, I can't make empty promises, but I will do all I can.
Dr. Roman:
The fact that your world and our world connected in some sort of magical way...
Dr. Roman:
...is actually a very dangerous situation.
If we're going to do anything, we need to be careful.
Fujimaru 1:
Any news on the Reality Marble?
Dr. Roman:
I'm working on it, too. Ah, I'm so busy theseWait!
Dr. Roman:
Something is approaching you at high speed!
Flying creatures!
Illya:
Ack!
Mash:
I have a visual on a number of wyverns!
Senpai!
Fujimaru 1:
The jewel's still showing the same direction, so...
Mash:
Yes! Understood!
Illya:
But I haven't eaten my dessert!
Illya:
Ruby, come back! We're transforming!
Ruby:
Roger that! Steady!☆
--BATTLE--
A：???:
Lord Jason, intruders have broken through the wyverns' defenses and are now approaching.
Mini Jason:
You don't have to report every little thing to me.
I can see that myself!
Mini Jason:
A lovely pink magical girl and a black magical girl who looks both sturdy and squishy.
Mini Jason:
If you ask me, the former's more gorgeous than you, and the latter's more endowed.
Mini Jason:
A crushing loss on your part! For a match to be decided before it's even begun... Jeez! Not even funny!
A：???:
Lord Jason, Lord Jason. Please provide an accurate comparison of the enemies once again.
B：Burnt Jason:
Yes. I will rephrase my analysis.
B：Burnt Jason:
The former's not as flowery (read: callous) as you, and the latter's not as sexy (read: crazy).
B：Burnt Jason:
Now what do you think?
A：???:
Oh, my... Lord Jason, what embarrassing compliments you brazenly give me.
A：???:
But lying is no good.
A：???:
The pink one's not as physically developed as I am, and the black one's clad in colder, more impersonal colors.
Mini Jason:
(Did she just ignore me? And so effortlessly!)
Mini Jason:
Whatever. In any event, I successfully got around your unreasonable demands!
Mini Jason:
You always make things a deadly venture, even in casual conversation!
A：Medea Lily:
Yes. I love peace, but I have no sympathy for intruders.
A：Medea Lily:
I shall punish thieves.
A：Medea Lily:
Sister Circe said that you can ask them what their circumstances are after their punishment ends.
Mini Jason:
She's totally right. The Land of Dragons and Sea isn't as sweet and as smart as, well, me.
Mini Jason:
Everyone here is gentle, the people are happy, they all worship me–or so it seems.
Mini Jason:
But in actuality, there's a crazy queen who turns any bad kiddies into piggies, no matter how small their crimes!
Mini Jason:
That's the reality of this oceanic dictatorship, this Medea Psycho Land! Hahahaha, help me!
Medea Lily:
Lord Jason. Did you say something?
Mini Jason:
Nothing important.
I was just giving a speech.
Mini Jason:
Anyway, it's a war. We're fighting a war, Medea.
Mini Jason:
Seems the girls took the wyverns down without a hitch. In my great wisdom I expected as much.
Medea Lily:
What? So you weren't actually bringing out the big guns with those wyverns? Lord Jason, what on earth are you planning?
Mini Jason:
Humph. What do you think the best weapon to defeat your enemy in battle is?
Mini Jason:
It's not a powerful Noble Phantasm or natural disaster. It's carelessness. It's being careless, Medea.
Mini Jason:
A relaxed mentality is the poison that kills humans.
I'll secretly make them realize that later!
Mini Jason:
Hahaha! They'll be very proud of themselves after defeating those wyverns, and I'll be the one to break that pride!
Mini Jason:
Of course, I will destroy them, ship and all! Remember, magical girls are as stubborn as they come!
Mini Jason:
Just when you think you've defeated them, just when you breathe a sigh of relief, there they are the next day!
Mini Jason:
“Rise and shine, Lord Jason,” they'll say. “It's morning♡” they'll say!
Mini Jason:
That's my waking nightmare, so that is the horror I will inflict upon them!
Medea Lily:
Understood. So we'll make them deader than dead.
Got it.
Medea Lily:
Come on, Magical Ship in a Bottle, release!
Medea Lily:
But... please forgive me. I didn't know how much to prepare for the ship...
Medea Lily:
All I managed was five dozen Dragon Tooth Warriors and a ram bearing a curse that decays the enemy's keel.
Medea Lily:
That's all I have on hand.
My apologies.
Mini Jason:
...So you always carry all that around? How terrifying. I'm curious as to what your definition of a peace-loving heart is.
Medea Lily:
Yes! I'm not good in battle, but I'll do my best!
All right everyone, charge!
Mini Jason:
...Okaaaay, so you're not listening at all, but that's awesome! My wife is the best of the best!
--ARROW--
Mash:
M-Master! Now there's a galley charging at us!
Illya:
What? There's more? They don't have any intention of talking at all!
Mash:
Even if we were the ones who trespassed into their territory first, they're still so aggressive!
Fujimaru 1:
Just hang in there, you two!
Illya:
I powered up with a yummy lunch, so I'm fine!
--BATTLE--
Dr. Roman:
Are you still alive, Fujimaru!? I know it's tough already, but now you've got a Servant to deal with!
Dr. Roman:
We're winning, but they won't let up!
They're closing in on us!
Mash:
Is it this kingdom's magical girl?
She's a very cautious and well-prepared opponent.
Illya:
Yup, I can feel them getting closer.
We have Nursery's stone to thank for that.
Illya:
Wah! That's them! That's...
Medea Lily:
Greetings, visitors from another world.
I am Medea...
Medea Lily:
The Magical Girl of Love and Healing, Medical☆Medea.
A pleasure to meet you.
Mini Jason:
...
Illya:
Th-That outfit...! Ruby, is she...!
Ruby:
Yup! It's a liiittle different, but that formal-yet-naughty slit is definitely Caster!
Ruby:
Caster, the mage Servant! Illya's first real opponent!
Illya:
Yes, that's right!
Illya:
I'm sorry about what happened!
I'm Illya! Illyasviel!
Mash:
Illya, do you know her?
Illya:
Yes, but she may not know me...
Oh, but who's that handsome doll?
Medea Lily:
Are we acquaintances?
Oh my...
Medea Lily:
I wouldn't have been so rough if I'd known. I'm sorry.
Medea Lily:
I don't dwell on the past... So even if we were friends...
Medea Lily:
Why don't we forget about it and focus on the present? It's easier to forget the bad things that happened in the past, right?
Illya:
Huh...?
Medea Lily:
Yes. So let's forget about our battle just now.
We can just chalk it up to a mistake on both sides.
Mash:
...She lowered her staff... Whatever the case, I'm glad the fight's over.
Mash:
I think we can resolve this by talking, like magical girls are supposed to!
Fujimaru 1:
I'm not so sure...
Fujimaru 2:
If we can actually talk to her...
Medea Lily:
Talking? That's a wonderful idea.
Medea Lily:
If you could take an opponent's life just through conversation, that's better than fighting.
Medea Lily:
That's how you obtained that jewel, isn't it?
That jewel covered in the blood of its former owner?
Medea Lily:
Which kingdom's magical girl did you kill?
I'm sure it was a very difficult fight.
Medea Lily:
Would you tell me how you did it?
I'd like to know... just for reference, of course.
Illya:
Th-That's not how it happened, Medea!
Illya:
I did end up battling a magical girl, but...
Illya:
We didn't try to kill each other.
Nursery gave this to me.
Medea Lily:
...
Mini Jason:
...
Medea Lily:
I see. I understand. So you came from Nursery Rhyme's kingdom.
Medea Lily:
And now you've come to take my jewel.
Hehe. How energetic and strong-minded you are!
Medea Lily:
As a magical girl, you're not someone I can welcome, but as a queen, you're not someone I can ignore either!
Medea Lily:
Am I right, Lord Jason?
They say they're gathering jewels.
Medea Lily:
I would like to praise you for your bravery and recklessness. Everyone, would you come to my castle?
Medea Lily:
Tell me of your travels on the way. It's been centuries since I've been able to talk to a magical girl!
2wei! The Land of Dragons and Sea III
Medea Lily:
This castle belongs to me and Lord Jason.
Please come inside.
Illya:
(Psst... “Lord Jason”? Does she mean that doll?)
Mash:
(I think so...)
Fujimaru 1:
By the way, Medea...
Fujimaru 2:
Can I ask you a question?
Medea Lily:
Anything you like, as long as it's something I remember. Oh, but I already know what you're going to ask.
Medea Lily:
You're thinking I might be Medea, the Heroic Spirit of the Princess of Colchis. Correct?
Medea Lily:
Well, hehe, you're wrong. It's true that I was born from Princess Medea, yes...
Medea Lily:
But I'm not the Servant you think I am.
Even if she exists in your world, it's a different person.
Medea Lily:
I was merely modeled after Princess Medea.
I am but a young girl's fantasy.
Medea Lily:
I act like Medea, I get sad like her, laugh like her, and I live happily in the tiny world I was given.
Medea Lily:
The Servant System is an active summoning system, but we are passive, and born from the unconscious.
Medea Lily:
Our purpose was different from the start.
Mash:
A different purpose? You didn't come here because you were summoned?
Medea Lily:
That's right. I was wished to be this way.
Medea Lily:
And there is no final goal in this wish.
Medea Lily:
There's only a sudden end. Even if we saved the world, we weren't able to end.
Medea Lily:
Because as long as we were sought, the next story would soon begin.
Medea Lily:
But that's all in the past, now that I've found myself here.
Medea Lily:
I see. I understand your situation.
Medea Lily:
So unlike Illya, you wandered here from a different world, did you, Fujimaru?
Medea Lily:
To find oneself in a strange land, and not know what to do... That helpless feeling is something I know well.
Medea Lily:
So I won't just turn you into a pig. To tell you the truth, that was my original intention when I invited you here.
Ruby:
Oh, I knew it. I knew this castle reeked of ash.
Ruby:
Probably has all the walls ready to scatter special caustic lime.
Ruby:
Stuff that would turn you all into little piglets.
Ruby:
As expected from a priestess from the Age of Gods, her magecraft is on a different level than ours.
Illya:
Hyah!? Ruby, you should've said that earlier!
Illya:
Oh, but, but... if you're going to leave Fujimaru be, then you can do the same for me...
Medea Lily:
No. You're different. You're a magical girl.
I'm very cruel to magical girls.
Mini Jason:
...
Medea Lily:
What? But I don't want to be betrayed anymore.
That girl won't betray me? I should trust your eyes?
Mash:
She's talking to Jason again...
We can't hear him though...
Medea Lily:
Very well... This is what Lord Jason says:
Medea Lily:
“That magical girl isn't smart enough to lie. Her heart is as free of deceit as her chest is of breasts.”
Illya:
Excuse me, but can I karate-chop him?
Medea Lily:
What? No! I'm the only one who can have my way with Lord Jason, so please don't.
Medea Lily:
Anyway, Lord Jason is being gentlemanly for once.
Medea Lily:
He's saying to call off the sneak attack and talk with you instead.
Illya:
Oh, uh... That's what we were planning from the start, so we can talk all you want.
Medea Lily:
No, I'm not interested in your problems.
I don't care about other magical girls.
Medea Lily:
What I'm going to offer you is a peaceful trade.
Medea Lily:
This island and this castle remind me of Corinth.
I simply want to continue my tranquil life here.
Medea Lily:
Whatever you do outside this land, I promise I won't interfere.
Fujimaru 1:
That's fine with me. Does everyone agree?
Illya:
Yup, of course! If we weren't just attacked out of nowhere like that, we wouldn't have...
Illya:
Right, Mash?
Mash:
But what about the jewel's guidance?
And what did you mean by “trade”?
Medea Lily:
I meant that, just as I won't interfere with your business, you won't interfere with mine.
Medea Lily:
And no, no matter how much you want it, you can't have this jewel. I've named it the “Tomoi Stone.”
Medea Lily:
This stone is what supports this oceanic kingdom, and gives me my power.
Medea Lily:
This world is big, but it's also tightly closed.
There were once many more magical girls here.
Medea Lily:
They all wanted a kingdom of their own, and so fought with and stole from each other.
Medea Lily:
I was one of those girls.
Medea Lily:
I am a healer. A medical magical girl.
I have barely any means of attacking.
Medea Lily:
The most I have is mental offense and divine punishment–things like pig transformation, tiny world confinement, and so on.
Medea Lily:
The battle was very difficult. I was a relatively weak magical girl, after all.
Illya:
Ugh... It's like hearing an amazing swimmer say,
“But I don't know how to fly.”
Mini Jason:
...
Mash:
I'm not sure, but I think Jason is saying,
“There's nobody as scary as you!”
Medea Lily:
Silence, you barbarians, you who specialize in destruction! ...Speaking of which, I want to try a Buster Noble Phantasm too!
Medea Lily:
Ahem. Excuse me. I'll get back on topic.
Medea Lily:
The magical girls fought each other in pursuit of their own ideals for peace and order. It was a clash of values and worldviews.
Medea Lily:
I tried to run from the fierce combat, but it was impossible.
Medea Lily:
Each time an enemy came I would just stab, stab, and stab some more...
Fujimaru 1:
Medea...
Illya:
That's awful... Medea...
Fujimaru 2:
Stab what now?
Mash:
Master, it's probably best to ignore that.
Who knows when Rule Breaker might show up?
Medea Lily:
Before long, this stone that appeared in my hand grew in weight and shone brighter each time I fought.
Medea Lily:
I can tell. This stone is the catalyst that supports this fantasy.
Fujimaru 1:
What of the area outside the kingdoms' jurisdiction?
Medea Lily:
You must be talking about the areas where the magical girls' influence doesn't reach.
Medea Lily:
That's the neutral zone: a buffer zone born from the balance of power that all the fighting gave rise to.
Medea Lily:
You cannot receive the blessings of your power there.
Medea Lily:
Do you understand? This jewel is the only small hope I have left.
Medea Lily:
Taking this from me would be equivalent to my death.
Medea Lily:
So the only thing I can give you is a promise to leave you alone. Illya, I won't try to steal your jewel.
Medea Lily:
So please leave. With that jewel you can create whatever land you want.
Medea Lily:
If you want something, use your stone to get it instead.
If you want friends, make a land of friends.
Medea Lily:
I'm sure it'll be wonderful. A place where everyone who visits becomes your friend.
Illya:
That isn't right.
Illya:
I don't want more friends.
I want to be with one I already have.
Illya:
We go to school together... We laugh together...
Illya:
Sometimes we fight and go our separate ways, but even then, before long our desire to see each other again becomes too great.
Illya:
I was able to meet someone like that, someone as important to me as myself.
Illya:
So I don't need anything else.
Illya:
Compared to you and your wish to just live in peace,
I know it's a very greedy and selfish goal, but...
Illya:
I'm sorry! Please! I came here to save my friend!
Illya:
I'm not here to steal your jewel!
I don't even really know what they do!
Illya:
You know a lot about this world.
If you could just give us some clues...
Medea Lily:
...A way to get out?
Medea Lily:
It may seem cruel, Illya, but you cannot leave this world now.
Medea Lily:
Not only can you not save your friend, there's no exit for you either. As long as you're a magical girl.
Medea Lily:
No, you won't even have the will to leave...
That's how desperate this place is.
Medea Lily:
In the end, you will always be a weak magic user, a weak magical girl...
Medea Lily:
One who could only make miracles happen for the sake of her friends.
Medea Lily:
So in the end, you will definitely come to rely on the power of that jewel.
Medea Lily:
Just like we did, burning each other to ash as we clung to that tiny hope...
Illya:
In the end, I'm going to rely on this jewel?
Medea Lily:
Give up on this Miyu girl. If you want to know how to make friends, I'll happily teach you.
Medea Lily:
That is the one thing I can do for Nursery Rhyme, the girl who gave you that jewel and disappeared.
Illya:
Huh? Wait, what does that—
Medea Lily:
The jewels are where our wishes dwell.
They are the last light that keeps us alive...
Medea Lily:
When Nursery Rhyme let hers go, she quickly vanished into nothingness.
Medea Lily:
Of course, there's no need for you to be sad.
That was her choice.
Medea Lily:
And even without waiting for her destruction...
Medea Lily:
That greedy Medb, Queen of the Land of Snow and Honey, would never ignore her.
Medea Lily:
The Land of Sweets will fall to Medb's forces sooner or later.
Medea Lily:
Perhaps Nursery let you escape from Medb's clutches.
Illya:
No...
Illya:
No... I'm sorry...
Illya:
I didn't know... I'm sorry, Nursery...
Illya:
But I...! I have to... I have to save Miyu no matter what...!
Medea Lily:
Oh dear. It was probably your stubbornness that drove Nursery to action.
Medea Lily:
Or maybe she'd given up herself, and was on the verge of disappearing.
Medea Lily:
Even if she could not do it, she entrusted her hope to someone promising who still—
Aargh! Geez!
Medea Lily:
It's so stupid! That's the problem with sugar-brained magical girls who come from fairy tales!
Mash:
Medea!? What is this dangerous aura around her?
Medea Lily:
Half-assed hope! How many times do you have to get betrayed before they're satisfied?
Medea Lily:
Wake up, Lord Jason! Let me hear some of those nasty little comments you always make!
Fujimaru 1:
Huh? Jason changed...
Fujimaru 2:
She's finally shown her true self!
Mini Jason:
Ha! This is great! The type of person Medea wants to see least in the world has come to visit her.
Mini Jason:
Someone who keeps going, even towards uncertainty. Someone who tries hard, even if they don't know how.
Mini Jason:
Someone who does their best no matter how battered and bruised they get! Someone who doesn't even think about compensation!
Mini Jason:
Medea! Just like you when you were in the temple, before you joined me!
Mini Jason:
That's why you're showing your true self!
Mini Jason:
What you feel isn't anger born of hatred.
It's righteous rage, born of sorrow!
Mini Jason:
Don't tell me that, after all this, you're feeling sorry for yourself and wishing you'd tried a little harder!
Medea Lily:
N-No! I wasn't... I didn't...
Medea Lily:
I am the Queen of the Land of Dragons and Sea!
A priestess of the goddess Hecate!
Medea Lily:
You were never able to become king, no matter what you did, so I built a kingdom for you and settled down!
Mini Jason:
Yes, that's right. That's right. You couldn't even kill yourself. So that's what's right for you.
Mini Jason:
Which means now, you must follow your own fate!
Mini Jason:
You can work, work hard, or work even harder! A magical girl is all about doing things all the way! Right?
Medea Lily:
Oh, um... Th-That's... That's right!
I'll do it! I'll get to work!
Mini Jason:
Good answer! Let's see, to start with...
Mini Jason:
The Spartoi Family's “Adventure on Siren Island” diorama has a long ways to go!
Medea Lily:
Right, Lord Jason!
Mini Jason:
Plus that 1/48th scale Argo kit and the Supermobile DX Talos are still in their boxes!
Mini Jason:
You're not going to call yourself Greece's greatest builder without completing those two, are you? Aren't you embarrassed?
Medea Lily:
I'm sorry, Lord Jason! But I gave Talos to Europa...
Fujimaru 1:
What are they talking about?
Illya:
Huh? I'm having trouble following this...
Fujimaru 2:
Maybe they used to be hardcore scale modelers?
Mini Jason:
The God Nipper that Hephaestus forged for you is crying!
Medea Lily:
Yes, Ultimate! You're right, Lord Jason!
Mini Jason:
All right, you're finally fired up! It was worth making you talk to those people, even if it was a pain!
Mini Jason:
That non-aggression pact is useless now! We're dang lucky a jewel came to us before Medb arrived!
Mini Jason:
You lost the will to fight, so this is truly your last chance!
Mini Jason:
All you can do is heal? Don't be stupid, ignoramuses!
I think you're great!
Mini Jason:
Right, my pretty little Medea?
Mini Jason:
Show me once more how violent it is to not be able to die in battle!
Medea Lily:
R-Right! Thank you! I will! I will!
Ruby:
...Um.
Ruby:
It looks like she couldn't handle her guilty conscience as a healing-type magical girl, and pushed all her will to fight onto her familiar.
Ruby:
It's common for magical girls in puberty to be dependent like that.
Illya:
I didn't want to know that! And Medea looks like she really wants to fight!
Illya:
Oh, Mash... Are you going to transform!?
Mash:
Medea won't be an easy opponent!
Mash:
If we have to, we can use the Rayshift to at least get Master out of here and—Doctor?
Mash:
...Doctor? Doctor!?
Fujimaru 1:
The connection with Chaldea's been cut!?
Medea Lily:
Of course it has. Don't underestimate a modeler. When I use an airbrush, I always mask things up properly.
Medea Lily:
I severed your link with the outside world the minute you arrived at this castle.
Mash:
Ungh! I'm sure you've noticed, Master...
Mash:
But the castle's surrounded not just by humanoids, but by large creatures as well!
Illya:
Here we go again!?
Illya:
Aren't magical girls supposed to become friends after they talk to each other?
Ruby:
Hahaha! You're one to talk, aren't you?☆
Fujimaru 1:
We'll have to fight them!
Fujimaru 2:
I know how you feel, but don't give in!
Illya:
Fujimaru...
(That's right. I can't cause any more trouble for them!)
Illya:
Right...! I'll do what I can!
World End Match: Medical☆Medea
Medea Lily:
Aaaaah!
Mini Jason:
Whew, I guess healing alone wasn't enough, but I already knew that! Hahahaha!
Mini Jason:
By the way, you hot magical girls over there!
You feel like going for a ride on my Argo?
Medea Lily:
Look out, Lord Jason!
F：Burning Jason:
Oof!
Mini Jason:
Heh-heh... Even as words of concern spilled from your mouth, you specifically went for a head shot...
Mini Jason:
Is that you telling me you haven't given in yet, my Medea? Maybe you still have another card up your sleeve?
Medea Lily:
Of course! It's natural for magical girls to have two stages of transformation!
Medea Lily:
I don't want to, but I have no choice but to unleash my forbidden power! To be specific, I will no longer be Lily!
Mini Jason:
Hey, whoa, wait. Let's slow down.
If you're not going to be Lily, you're going to be THAT?
Mini Jason:
It's that form that burned down the castle in Corinth. That's bad. That's really bad! It's too monstrous!
Mini Jason:
We're having a magical girl party, so if a magical old hag appears, I'll be sued for false advertising!
Mini Jason:
And believe me, you would be the one who gets hurt if that happened!
Mini Jason:
I'm telling you this for your own good. I'd much rather become an indescribable pillar-like thing than have that happen! Oof!
Mash:
Quiet, Lord Jason!
Medea is serious, Master!
Medea Lily:
I wouldn't get hurt at all!
And I won't be an “old hag” 10 years from now!
Medea Lily:
I'm sure I will be a lovely, elegant adult woman!
Fujimaru 1:
A beautiful woman, yes, but elegant?
Fujimaru 2:
Leave her be. She'll self-destruct.
Mash:
No, let's stop her, Senpai! If she becomes any sadder, the situation will get out of control!
Illya:
That's enough!
Illya:
The battle ends here!
Illya:
I just came here to save Miyu, not destroy the entire kingdom!
Medea Lily:
B-But a magical girl is supposed to fight!
And besides, my modeler soul has been ignited...
Medea Lily:
I'll defeat you, make a mold of you, and mass-produce it for our country's new fall lineup...
Illya:
Please don't come up with a convoluted plan within minutes of our first encounter! Are you psycho!?
Fujimaru 1:
Uuuuuuh-ooooohh...
Fujimaru 2:
Somebody finally said it...
Illya:
I don't understand this world, these jewels, or any of you!
Illya:
I hate this kind of stuff! And I don't need any jewels!
I'll find another way!
Illya:
That's why, Medea... I don't want to fight you!
I don't want to fight anymore!
Illya:
After all, we're both magical girls!
Medea, I don't know why you created this land...
Illya:
But I at least understand that you have something you hold dear! Something you've been fighting for!
Medea Lily:
Illya... Um, that...is very moving, but...
Mini Jason:
Medea fights for no special reason.
It's not for the sake of something she “holds dear.”
Medea Lily:
Lord Jason!?
Mini Jason:
She created this land because she felt indebted to me. And she's been protecting the jewel out of fear of other magical girls.
Mini Jason:
She made an excuse to live a quiet life because she believed that would keep her from becoming a menacing witch.
Mini Jason:
I tell you, she's frivolous about everything. The only time she gets serious is when she's building models.
Medea Lily:
I...admit that. But it was you, Lord Jason, who commanded me to confine myself here.
Mini Jason:
Well, of course. If you leave your own land, you'll become a witch. That's your fate.
Mini Jason:
And if you become a witch, you turn into just another Echo. That's why I advised against going to other lands.
Mash:
(Echo?)
Mini Jason:
But you don't need to worry anymore. Here, young lady. You want this, don't you? Take it.
Illya:
A-Are you sure!? After all, without this, um, lots of things...
Mini Jason:
Spare me the details.
Mini Jason:
If we beat you, then I win.
But if we lose, then Medea loses... Get it?
Mini Jason:
I'm twisted that way. I wouldn't give that stone away to anyone who wants it.
Mini Jason:
I will, however, push it into the hands of a noble fool who says they don't. Whether they like it or not.
Mini Jason:
That's okay with you, isn't it, Medea?
Either way, we'd lose if we went to war against Medb.
Mini Jason:
Before that happens, it feels better to pass it all on to a fool who is a lot like you in the past.
Medea Lily:
I... don't mind. But are you sure about this, Lord Jason?
Mini Jason:
I'm not happy, but I'm used to it.
Fading away while indulging in past glories...
Mini Jason:
But not becoming a witch is more important than that. Even if your dreams are dashed, it's better to pass on as a girl.
Mini Jason:
Isn't that right, my Medea?
Mini Jason:
And I think of this as my life coming to a close at one final stop in an unknown land before returning to my home.
Medea Lily:
...
Medea Lily:
I understand. As it is Lord Jason's wish, I will give her the jewel.
Medea Lily:
However, I won't tell you anything.
If I talk, it will only bring back sad memories.
Medea Lily:
Like all of the girls I have slain, my fate will end here.
Illya:
Medea. Um, you're going to disappear here, too?
Medea Lily:
Yes. But even without “hope,” I still have
“lingering attachments,” so it will take a while.
Medea Lily:
After all, I still have 287,000 plastic models to finish.
Medea Lily:
At three models a day, it'll take me 250 years!
Go, go, Medea!
Dr. Roman:
I see. So Princess Medea's magecraft was what interfered with the transmissions.
Dr. Roman:
So what happened? Were you able to get any new information?
Fujimaru 1:
We learned about the hidden side of Medea Lily.
Mash:
Yes. That Medea and the Heroic Spirit Medea have separate existences, but plenty of things in common.
Mash:
I think what we got a glimpse of in battle this time applies roughly to both Medeas.
Fujimaru 2:
We got the jewel.
Mash:
Illya obtained the second jewel.
But that's all.
Mash:
Medea said we'd better investigate the basics of this world on our own.
Dr. Roman:
Hmmm... From what I'm hearing, it sounds like Princess Medea knows everything, but kept her silence.
Dr. Roman:
Was that a dig against Illya, or was it out of thoughtfulness?
Dr. Roman:
Either way, I'm glad no one was hurt.
Huh? Where is Illya? I don't see her.
Mash:
Illya said it was too windy here, so she went to the stern. Ruby is with her.
Illya:
Um, Ruby...
Ruby:
Yo ho! You called?
Ruby:
What's this? You seem down in the dumps.
Even after a major victory of a sort.
Illya:
That was no major victory.
Medea wasn't going all-out to begin with.
Illya:
She fought because she had to, because we muscled our way into her land.
Illya:
...And in the end, I took that jewel away from her...
Ruby:
I think you're looking at it the wrong way.
Ruby:
Sometimes people have no use for something, but can't throw it away because that would be a waste.
Ruby:
I think that's what this jewel was to Medea.
Ruby:
She's a very powerful magical girl, you know.
Ruby:
Even without the jewel, she would've been able to create her own land.
Illya:
...Yeah. But despite her power, Medea was glum and haunted by dark memories.
Illya:
She said I wouldn't be able to escape from this world... so long as I'm a magical girl.
Illya:
I wonder if that's true...
Ruby:
Well, I can't say for sure either.
But what will you do if it is?
Ruby:
When you get Miyu back, want to create the Land of Squee-Squee-Hee-Hee Love or something for the two of you?
Ruby:
I'll be willing to cooperate, heeheehee!
Illya:
Hey! What are you talking about, Ruby!? Sheesh...
Illya:
Ahhh, I wish Chloe were here at a time like this!
Illya:
...This is a weird world. It's cute on the surface, but I think there's more to it.
Illya:
We have to hurry up and find the owner of the Reality Marble. If we can do that, we should be able to find a clue as to Miyu's whereabouts.
3rei!! The Land of Dead Bookshelves I
Miyu:
(Pain... in my chest...)
Miyu:
(Is this... a dream? Whose... dream...?)
???:
Mila! Mila...! So it was you...
???:
It can't be... Why... ?
???:
What... are you going on about...?
???:
Becoming a magical girl, one who makes everyone happy, was... your... dream... wasn't it?
???:
That's why... this was destined... to happen to me sooner or later...
???:
You musn't cry about it.
???:
But Mila... Without you, there's no way I can be... a magical girl!
???:
Mila... Please... Don't die...
???:
Don't... leave me alone...
Miyu:
(This is... Yes... This is her dream...)
Miyu:
(Such a... sad dream...)
3rei!! The Land of Dead Bookshelves II
Dr. Roman:
We've finally made it to the next kingdom.
You're about to arrive at...
Illya:
I think it's the Land of Dead Bookshelves.
The two jewels keep showing this direction.
Dr. Roman:
Hmm... I'm not seeing any signs of life.
I guess the area lives up to its name.
Mash:
It's so quiet. It's not like the other lands we've been to.
Mash:
It's empty, but unlike the neutral zones, there's a sternness to it.
Mash:
Senpai, Illya, look. There's a huge black wall over there...
Fujimaru 1:
It's gently curving into a dome.
Dr. Roman:
That appears to be a completely different area next to the Land of Dead Bookshelves.
Dr. Roman:
It worries me that that I can't get any readings from beyond the wall.
Mash:
That's strange. It feels deliberate, doesn't it?
Illya:
Could there really be a magical girl in a place like this?
Illya:
EEEEK!!
Illya:
A-A ghost!?
Mash:
Get back!
Mash:
Have you never seen a ghost-type enemy before, Illya?
Illya:
Aah... M-Mash...(Cling)
Mash:
It's okay. Leave it to me.
Fujimaru 1:
Is this ghost trying to go somewhere?
Mash:
What should we do, Master? Please give me your orders.
Fujimaru 1:
It's alone. Let's go around it.
Mash:
Roger. We'll circle around it and watch for other enemies.
Fujimaru 2:
Hehehe, you're such a kid, Illya.
Illya:
I don't deny that! So what?!
Mash:
So we'll avoid combat then?
Roger. It doesn't seem like it wants to hurt us.
Mash:
It left without doing anything. It seems to have headed for the black wall.
Dr. Roman:
Looks like it was just wandering...
Illya:
Whew. That was scary.
Illya:
But thanks, Mash.
For not hurting the ghost.
Mash:
Illya...
Mash:
No, thank Senpai instead of me. Hehe.
Mash:
Are you worried about that ghost?
Illya:
Yeah. It was really scary... but it also seemed kind of sad.
Mash:
We're almost to the center of the ruins.
There's still nobody here.
Illya:
It's so quiet it almost hurts your ears.
It would be a good place to read a book, though.
Fujimaru 1:
Doctor? How's it looking?
Dr. Roman:
The link with Chaldea is still stable.
But there are no reactions around you.
Illya:
The guiding light of the jewels disappeared, too.
What do we do?
Illya:
I know!
Illya:
I'll fly a little and look down from above!
Mash:
I see. That's a good idea. This is a tiny land, and I don't think there are any flying creatures.
Illya:
It's okay then? Alright, off I go!
Fujimaru 1:
Okay. Just be careful.
Illya:
Right!
Mash:
Illya's flying is so graceful. So wonderful, she's like flower petals dancing in the sky.
Fujimaru 2:
Flying around in a miniskirt is what makes a magical girl!
Illya:
...
Illya:
Um, the way you're looking up is kind of awkward.
It's like how Ruby looks at me.
Mash:
Please go ahead, Illya.
I'll shield you from Senpai's gaze.
Illya:
Okay!
Mash:
Senpai, do I need to help you calm down a bit?
Mash:
Well, I'm actually jealous of the way she can fly, too.
Mash:
Oh? You need to speak to me in private?
Fujimaru 1:
Yeah, you see...
Mash:
I... in the Chaldea control room...?
Mash:
I'm surprised. I didn't realize something so strange had happened.
Mash:
While it's true that my memories from the time I visited the control room up until our Rayshift jump are hazy...
Mash:
I didn't really worry about it. Was I swept up in the aura of this strange world...
Mash:
...Or did something change within me, somehow?
B：???:
Eeek! D-Don't pull me!
Mash:
That's Illya's voice!
Mash:
Senpai, enemies are coming through the walls of the buildings! There's so many!
Mash:
These ghosts are clearly attacking!
Fujimaru 1:
Let's meet up with Illya as we fight through!
Mash:
Right! Let's hurry!
Fujimaru 2:
Transform into Demi-Magical Girl Chaldea☆Mash, fou!
Mash:
Right! Huh!? Fou??
Mash:
Senpai, we need to have a talk later!
--BATTLE--
Illya:
T-They're strong! Why are these monsters so strong!?
Illya:
More incoming!
Mash:
Wait. That building was empty earlier, but someone...
D：???:
What's all this commotion?
D：???:
I'm shocked that a magical girl would still visit a land that's drained of all its magical energy.
Illya:
Are you this land's magical girl!?
The Land of Dead Bookshelves?
Fujimaru 1:
(All the ghosts left when she came out.)
D：???:
Yes. ...One of them.
D：???:
Oh, I see. I'm sorry. The others gave you a rather brutal welcome.
D：???:
Are you hurt? Do you need healing?
Mash:
No. They were very powerful, but fortunately we weren't badly injured.
Mash:
Did you just say “the others”?
D：???:
That's right, newcomer.
D：???:
This is the graveyard of magical girls.
All the ghosts in these ruins were once magical girls.
D：???:
I'm just a gravekeeper. And a librarian. I'm not a queen, and I haven't been a magical girl for a long time.
Illya:
Magical girl... g-ghosts!? Ahhhh!
Fujimaru 1:
Will you tell us your name?
D：???:
Ghosts don't need names, do they?
But it would be difficult to talk without a name. Hmm...
Helena:
Helena. You can call me Helena.
Fujimaru 2:
Madame Blavatsky?
Mash:
You're Missus... I mean, Lady Blavatsky?
D：???:
Oh, you know me. I shall not deny it if you call me by that name.
D：???:
I believe my mental state more closely resembles my von Hahn years, though.
Helena:
Well, feel free to just call me Helena.
Helena:
But I don't plan on being your friend.
Please keep that in mind.
Illya:
Okay, Magical Girl Helena, then.
Doctor Romani? Is she...?
Dr. Roman:
Don't worry, Illya. Also, I'm quite happy to know you remembered my name and title.
Dr. Roman:
Yeah, she's not a ghost.
Dr. Roman:
Like the other magical girls you've met, she has a Spirit Origin response similar to a Servant's.
Dr. Roman:
Of course, she's alive.
Was she camouflaging her life signs...?
Helena:
What are these magical energy waves?
Helena:
The man in that image... Could it be...
A leyline directly linked to a parallel world?
Helena:
So that's it. She found a foothold out to the outside world.
Dr. Roman:
Wait, what does that mean?
Don't just satisfy your own curiosity!
Illya:
“She”? Do you mean Medb!?
Illya:
Do you know something, Helena!?
She took away my frie...
Helena:
Wait. This is not the best place to talk.
Come to my library.
Helena:
And undo your transformations.
It's better that way.
Mash:
U-Um, Illya can, but I'm not a magical girl...
Mash:
But if that last fight was just an accident, I'd like to say that we are not here to fight you. I'll disarm temporarily.
Mash:
Is that alright, Master?
Fujimaru 1:
Roger that.
Mash:
Okay. Come, Illya, let's accept her invitation.
Fujimaru 2:
Mash! Transform back, fou!
Mash:
M-Master...?
C-Could you stop that already...
Mash:
Fine... Here we go, okay!?
3rei!! The Land of Dead Bookshelves III
Illya:
Wow, look! A whole wall full of old books...
Illya:
What's wrong, Ruby? You're shaking.
You haven't talked much since we came here.
Ruby:
N-Nothing... (Shiver) Y-You haven't noticed? (Shiver)
Ruby:
Illya, you're s-s-s-s-s-such...W-W-Well, i-if you d-don't know, i-it's better that way... (Shiver)
Illya:
You're being weird, Ruby.
Oh, a stuffed lion!
Mini Edison:
...
Helena:
That's my former partner.
It's been a long time since he's spoken.
Mini Edison:
...
Illya:
Huh!? Partner?
Dr. Roman:
(Whispering) I've never seen anything so bizarre.
No wonder I couldn't search inside...
Dr. Roman:
Fujimaru, Mash, every book on that shelf is a grimoire.
Mash:
All of them!?
Helena:
Yes. For many years these ruins have been called the Land of Dead Bookshelves.
Helena:
I'll tell you why.
Helena:
The ghosts outside, as well as all the books in this room, they were once magical girls.
Helena:
This is the graveyard of those poor girls who were plunged into this world. They're called “Echoes.”
Mash:
Echoes... You mean the echoes of magical girls.
Jason used that word too.
Helena:
Jason? Of the Land of Dragons and Sea?
You're more adventurous than you look.
Helena:
Wasn't that place dangerous?
But don't worry, everyone here is peaceful.
Helena:
They just sleep here, in the form of grimoires.
Many magical girls liked to read.
Helena:
The Echoes who attacked you outside wanted someone to join them...
Helena:
Or perhaps they wanted to match spells with a rival, as they once did.
Helena:
The reason the Echoes don't attack me is because my role here is to serve guests.
Helena:
And I have the jewel that's a symbol of my role.
That's all.
Fujimaru 1:
Are you the owner of the Reality Marble?
Helena:
Me? No, that's not me. I don't own the Reality Marble.
Helena:
Then you're already aware that this world is inside a vast Reality Marble.
Helena:
This world was created by a single magical girl.
She's called the First Lady.
Helena:
That's what the Echoes whisper to me.
I've never met her myself.
Helena:
It's said that the First Lady is in a sealed space at the center of this world, beyond the black wall.
Helena:
No magic can destroy that black wall, and there's no way to know what's inside.
Illya:
Wait, then what about Medb?
The one from the Land of Snow and Honey?
Helena:
Medb is a magical girl. A very powerful one.
But she's not the First Lady.
Helena:
Illya, right? Tell me the rest of your story.
Why are you so focused on Medb?
Helena:
Don't tell me you're asking if it's okay to defeat her...
Illya:
N-No!
Actually...
Helena:
I see. A fellow magical girl was kidnapped.
That's a shame.
Helena:
But that's strange. Is that possible?
Helena:
I thought Medb wasn't interested in anything but the jewels. Did changes in the First Lady have an effect on Medb too?
Dr. Roman:
I'd like to ask a question too.
Dr. Roman:
You seem to know an awful lot about parallel worlds.
Helena:
Of course I do. Part of it is my knowledge of theosophy, but...
Helena:
We magical girls were originally invited here from many different parallel worlds.
Helena:
We were girls who, for various reasons, couldn't be magical girls in our own worlds anymore.
Helena:
We had no choice but to come here. We had nowhere else to go. Here, we could continue being magical girls.
Helena:
This is, in a sense, our paradise.
And it's the final stop on our journey.
Fujimaru 1:
Then what about Illya and her friend?
Helena:
I don't know. Why not ask the First Lady?
Helena:
Although... This may sound cruel, but...
Helena:
Girls who can't accept what's happened to them end up like the Echoes outside.
Illya:
...!?
Fujimaru 2:
It's a Throne of Heroic Spirits for magical girls?
Helena:
The Throne of Heroic Spirits that's said to be a hall of records within the void? Unfortunately, it's nothing so noble and innocent as that.
Helena:
They pathetically clung to being magical girls and fought until they ended up as mere ideas... as Echoes.
Mash:
I'd really rather not know this, but... there's something I have to ask.
Mash:
Is it possible that I was summoned here as a magical girl too?
Helena:
Isn't that what makes the most sense?
You've got a familiar with you.
Fujimaru 1:
I'm the familiar!?
Mash:
So I really was the cause...
That's a big shock. How do I face Senpai...
Fujimaru 2:
I wouldn't mind being a Mashcot, fou!
Mash:
Senpai, you stay my Mashter...!
I mean... no! I-I'm not correcting myself!
Helena:
It's nothing for you to worry about, Mash Kyrielight. No...
Helena:
The Dangerous Beast-type Magical Girl, Squishy☆Mash, was it?
Mash:
It's Demi-Magical Girl! I mean... Demi-Servant!
Helena:
All right. That's all I have to say.
Helena:
Do you want the jewel?
Very well. It's yours. Take it.
Helena:
I named the stone
“Vril.” But that doesn't matter now.
Mash:
But...!
Illya:
Helena, if you don't have that jewel, won't the Echoes outside attack you?
Helena:
It doesn't matter. At some point, Medb will come.
Helena:
I'm not a magical girl anymore. Just a gravekeeper.
I don't care about the power of the stone.
Illya:
But...
Helena:
There's no need to hesitate. After all, you will eventually meet the same fate.
Helena:
The time will come when the world will abandon you, Illya. When you lose your wish.
Helena:
I'll tell you the most important thing.
It's about your friend, Miyu Edelfelt.
Helena:
This is a guess, but I don't think it was Medb who kidnapped her. It was the First Lady.
Helena:
I've always assumed that she was silently monitoring this world from beyond the black wall...
Helena:
... by transforming her familiars to blend in with those of the other magical girls.
Helena:
If you ask Medb, you'll get closer to the truth.
That is, if she allows you to survive.
Illya:
Thank you Helena. Miyu was who I wanted to know about most!
Illya:
But I don't need the jewel.
Helena:
Even if you needed all the jewels to get beyond the black wall?
Illya:
What? All of them?
Fujimaru 1:
All the jewels?
Dr. Roman:
Wait. Are you saying we need to take the stones from all the magical girls, including Medb's?
Dr. Roman:
The jewels have enough power to alter the First Lady's Reality Marble?
Helena:
Yes. The Echoes whispered to me...
Helena:
The jewels are crystallized emotions that grant wishes. They should be able to cross the wall, and even reach the outside world.
Helena:
But that may be part of what the First Lady wants, too. Even so, there's only one way to find out: get all the jewels.
Ruby:
See? It's just like I said.
Ruby:
Well, if my theory's right, the First Lady's familiars are capable of crossing the black wall.
Ruby:
I can't imagine her being dumb enough to let someone else take control of them, though.
Illya:
That means the First Lady is deliberately making the magical girls fight!
Illya:
That's awful! We have to stop her!
But how?
Mash:
I agree. We are a part of this fight, even if we didn't intend to be...
Fujimaru 1:
Illya, you haven't been abandoned by the world.
Illya:
Fujimaru...
Illya:
Yeah...
Helena:
You're going to fight against the rules of this world?
It's useless.
Helena:
Illya, how strong do you think your friend is?
She obviously hasn't been able to resist.
Helena:
In this world, the First Lady's power is absolute.
Illya:
...
Fujimaru 1:
Helena, you aren't washed up either.
Helena:
What are you talking about?
Illya:
That's right! It's not over for you!
There are still more things you can do!
Helena:
Stop it! Don't insult us!
Mash:
All the grimoires on the shelves... They're shaking...
Helena:
Do you think all these girls just accepted their fate, and didn't try to do anything?
Illya:
But I... I can't stop here!
Illya:
I can't just accept someone else's despair until I've tried everything for myself!
Illya:
Miyu... Miyu isn't weak either! She hasn't given up yet!
Fujimaru 1:
Helena, you...
Fujimaru 1:
You were here to bring hope to Illya.
Helena:
Empty consolation...just like Al.
Helena:
What do you... What could the likes of you know about my story!?
Mash:
Senpai...
Helena:
I'm tired. I want this to be over!
Just take my jewel already!
Helena:
Otherwise, I'll put you to sleep here! Forever!
Illya:
Ruby!
Mash:
Illya...!
Illya:
I'm sorry for transforming without asking, Mash, Fujimaru.
Illya:
But I'm a little mad right now!
Helena:
You're about to learn that your hollow wishes are nothing but a fantasy!
World End Match: Mahatma♀Helena
Helena:
(Humph)
Illya:
Helena's pouting...
Ruby:
Her cool demeanor from a moment ago has all gone to waste...
Mash:
Illya was a little rough, but I think what she was trying to say got through.
Mash:
But what shall we do now?
Mash:
Illya's not going to want to take the jewel from Helena and expose her to danger.
Mash:
I don't know if I like that idea either.
You look like you want to say something, Master.
Fujimaru 1:
Well...why don't you come with us, Helena?
Illya:
That's it! That's a great idea!
Helena:
Huh?
Fujimaru 1:
You're coming with us.
Helena:
F-Fine! I was the one who started the fight.
Helena:
I'll go with you then! Fine!
Fujimaru 2:
Magical Girl Helena, help Illya.
Helena:
Now you're just bossy. Sure, fine, fine.
Helena:
I was the one who started the fight first. I'll obey you! The Command Spells have nothing to do with this, anyway.
Mash:
Then you're coming with us?
Illya:
That's great, isn't it, Helena?
Helena:
H-Hey! Don't grab me like that! Let go!
Helena:
I'm just going to witness the inexperienced magical girl's horrible demise. That's all, okay?
Helena:
Understood?
Illya:
Okay!
4ier!!! The Land of Snow and Honey I
Medb:
...
Mini Cú:
Hey...
Medb:
...
Mini Cú:
Hey... (Kick)
Mini Cú:
Medb, how long are you going to lie there?
Get up. (Smack)
Medb:
The second most wonderful thing in the world is to see the face of the person you love when you wake up.
Mini Cú:
This again?
Medb:
I feel the flow of magical energy. I hear the sound of a golden waterfall plunging into the abyss.
Mini Cú:
Yeah. It looks like the balance of the bounded field is collapsing.
Medb:
Hehe. Then it's time for the destruction to begin.
Medb:
It's time for the march of the Magical Girl-Queen Connacht☆Medb to resound throughout the world!
Mini Cú:
They're cattle. They don't march.
Medb:
Spare me the details!
Medb:
Now sound the horn!
Prepare my chariot!
Mini Cú:
Yeah!
4ier!!! The Land of Snow and Honey II
Mash:
I'm going back to the Land of Sweets to check up on Nursery Rhyme.
Mash:
Are you sure about that, Illya?
Illya:
Yep. I'm concerned about her.
Illya:
I know the gems are pointing at the Land of Snow and Honey as the next destination, but...
Illya:
I'm sorry for troubling you guys with my arbitrary decisions.
Mash:
Please don't be. I think the way you feel about her is very sweet.
Fujimaru 1:
Sure, it's fine. But we should hurry.
Illya:
Thank you.
Helena:
...
Fujimaru 1:
Helena. What kind of magical girl is Connacht☆Medb?
Helena:
An intense woman.
She's a magical girl of blazing ice.
Helena:
Fierce and merciless. A giant mass of possessiveness. Her rigid nature is like a castle that molds her.
Helena:
She holds the reins of all kinds of contradictions, tightly knotted together.
Helena:
If the root of a magical girl's power lies in her strength to believe in herself, she must be the strongest one.
Fujimaru 1:
Does that mean...she's almost insane?
Helena:
Medb? Of course not. Her sanity is beyond doubt.
She's absolutely in her right mind.
Helena:
Perhaps she was the only decent one among the rest of us.
Helena:
In this warped world, she was probably the only person who managed to keep being herself till the end.
Helena:
She had been in this world since before I arrived.
There was a time when we journeyed together...
Helena:
But I put some distance between us when she became obsessed with her lust for control.
Helena:
After that, she dialed up on her madness.
Or maybe I'm just flattering myself thinking that.
Helena:
Most likely, she hadn't changed.
Not at all.
Illya:
Helena...
Illya:
Medb said she was ready to accept me as a member of her invincible army.
Illya:
That's why I mistakenly thought Miyu had been abducted by her.
Helena:
The formation of Little Witch Codes to rebel against the First Lady's rule. That was her idea.
Helena:
So she hasn't given up on that ambition yet.
Helena:
What's the matter, Fujimaru?
Fujimaru 1:
Hold on, guys... Aren't those Medb's soldiers?
Mash:
Yes, they are! Those are the snowfield-specialized hostiles!
Mash:
They appeared in the neutral zone again! We were off our guard! Doctor, why weren't you on alert!?
Dr. Roman:
That's impossible. We're still on constant alert here. Maybe there was a change in the surrounding environment?
Illya:
They're coming straight toward us!
Doesn't look like talking would do any good... (Gulp)
Helena:
I'm sorry, but I'm not going to fight.
Helena:
I may be with you guys, that doesn't make me want to directly stand up against Medb.
Helena:
After all, she is one of the magical girls, too.
Helena:
In this neutral zone, I wouldn't be able to use that much of my power anyway.
Fujimaru 1:
Okay, then. Stay in a safe area. Mash! Illya!
Mash:
Yes, Master!
Illya:
Sure, I'll back you up!
--BATTLE--
Fujimaru 1:
Battle completed. Doctor, Doctor!?
Mash:
There's no response? Is something wrong with the connection to Chaldea again?
Helena:
Don't glare at me, Mash. Do you think I purposely took you to a dangerous area?
Helena:
I didn't do anything wrong. Though I admit this was a predictable result.
Mash:
What exactly do you mean by that? At any rate, this means we can't...
Illya:
What!? You guys can't go back to Chaldea!?
Fujimaru 1:
It seems that way. Oh?
Dr. Roman:
Fujimaru, everyone, are you guys all right!?
Mash:
Doctor! What a relief. I was worried for a moment.
Dr. Roman:
Unfortunately, it's too soon to be relieved.
Chaldea has been attacked.
Mash:
What!? This can't be happening...
Dr. Roman:
It is happening. Using our Leyline connection, they sent several hostiles over!
Fujimaru 1:
They sent enemies... directly to Chaldea!?
Dr. Roman:
That's right. We were apparently hacked.
Dr. Roman:
The disconnection you experienced a short while ago was intentional.
Dr. Roman:
We barely managed to deal with the enemies that attacked us thanks to some on-call Servants, but we can't keep this up.
Dr. Roman:
Fujimaru, Mash, I need you both to return immediately.
Mash:
So that means...
Dr. Roman:
That said, knowing Mash and Fujimaru,
Dr. Roman:
I'm sure you two won't say yes so easily.
I know that.
Dr. Roman:
But I still need you to understand this is an urgent matter.
Dr. Roman:
For now, I'll cut the connection again, to prevent any effects from your side.
Dr. Roman:
I will contact you again in five minutes.
Make a decision by then.
Mash:
Senpai...
Illya:
Oh...
Illya:
It's snow. It's starting to snow.
Helena:
From what I observed of Medb's familiars and of our surroundings during battle...
Helena:
I can tell that Medb has started to unleash considerable forces to attack surrounding lands.
Mash:
I can't believe we've endangered Chaldea... I don't know what to say...
Ruby:
Sorry to interrupt your pity-party, Mash, but you should probably deactivate your transformation.
Mash:
What? Why, Ruby? We've just finished a battle.
Wouldn't it be dangerous?
Ruby:
The magical energy that you're using to be a Demi-Servant is completely dependent on your Master at the moment.
Ruby:
We don't know what will happen from here on, so I think you should be in energy-saving mode as much as you can.
Ruby:
If we need to act fast against something, Illya and I can handle it.
Illya:
Yeah. That's right, Ruby. You do have something useful to say sometimes.
Illya:
You can trust us, Mash!
Mash:
That's true. So this is what happens... when the connection with Chaldea is shut down.
Mash:
Understood.
Mash:
But what should we do now, Senpai?
Fujimaru 1:
I think we should try to pinpoint the cause.
Helena:
As the longest inhabitant of this world, I agree with Fujimaru's opinion.
Helena:
Running back to your parallel world as it is now will not fundamentally solve this issue.
Helena:
The threat will not go away on its own.
This irregular state of danger will continue.
Mash:
And with Chaldea at risk, it certainly sounds like we need to resolve this.
Mash:
But are you really okay with that, Senpai? That means that we're going to continue accompanying Illya, right?
Mash:
Well, I mean, I'm not complaining at all!
I am also happy to help you, Illya.
Illya:
I... Um, I... Fujimaru, Mash...
Illya:
Thank you soooo much!
I can't even find the words to thank you... (Hug)
Mash:
D-Don't cry, Illya! Stop groveling on the ground!
You're practically lying in the dirt!
Ruby:
(Twinkle☆) Now that's settled, we're going replenish magical energy!! Let's charge!!☆
Illya:
What? Huh!? Wh-What are you talking about, Ruby!?
Ruby:
Isn't it important? You'll end up in trouble if you run out of magical energy at a critical moment!
Ruby:
She may not look it, but Illya is familiar with an efficient technique to charge magical energy.
Mash:
Really? That's our magical girl!
Mash:
Please teach me, Illya. If it will help us augment our strength, I'm willing to learn anything!
Illya:
U-Um... (Whisper)
Mash:
Okay... O... Kay...
Mash:
What... ki... tongue... saliva... really?
Illya:
(Nodding)...
Mash:
Uh... I don't know how to react...
Mash:
Augh...
Ruby:
Okay Mash. Leave the rest to Illya the veteran! Relax. Lightly open your mouth!
Ruby:
Don't worry, this is a type of medical procedure!
It is appropriate for any age!
Ruby:
Here you go, kiss! Kiss!
Come on, do it!
Helena:
What is this?
Illya:
Hey, Ruby! This is awkward enough without you butting in!
Fujimaru 1:
So you'll do it when the time is right?
Mash:
S-Senpai... This is... out of my... control...
Mash:
But I... I'm okay, so...
Fujimaru 1:
Charge magical energy.
Fujimaru 2:
Don't charge magical energy.
Helena:
Oh, a transmission.
Dr. Roman:
All right, let me hear your decision.
Dr. Roman:
What's going on there? Mash, your face's all red.
Oh, are you mad?
Helena:
Guess what? They were making a big deal discussing a primitive way to charge magical energy.
Dr. Roman:
Hm? A magical energy recharge method with the contractor?
Dr. Roman:
The contract made between Mash and Fujimaru was an irregular case, but...
Dr. Roman:
As always, no special ceremony should be necessary. If you consume an extreme amount of magical energy, just use a Command Spell.
Dr. Roman:
But don't we have something much more crucial to discuss right now? Pertaining to the survival of Chaldea?
4ier!!! The Land of Snow and Honey III
Illya:
Dr. Romani looked disappointed.
Illya:
This is all our fault. I'm sorry.
Mash:
No, there's no need for you to be sorry. Romani Archaman is Chaldea's current commander in charge.
Mash:
If he felt there was real danger, he would have forced us to transport back.
Mash:
He didn't do that, which means the doctor understands how important this matter is as well.
Fujimaru 1:
Yep.
Fujimaru 2:
If anything, he was just sulking.
Mash:
Yes. He's been left out in the cold more than ever this time, so let's thank him again when we get back.
Illya:
(That's what she says, but Mash looks like she's sulking a little too.)
Mash:
Anyway, until the next planned contact, we will have no method of communicating with Chaldea.
Mash:
Since we've chosen to accompany Illya, we must now be even more on our guard.
Helena:
How long do you two plan on staying upset?
We're almost near the border.
Illya:
(She's sure straightforward!!)
Helena:
Fujimaru, the same goes for you.
If you're a Master, then get a grip.
Helena:
Even if you guys are acting out a magical girl fantasy, that doesn't mean your heart has turned into a familiar.
Fujimaru 1:
We're here!
Illya:
This is Medb's kingdom?
Illya:
It's not as cold as it looks, but it still seems like a magical land.
Mash:
If the situation was different, this would be some very beautiful scenery.
Mash:
No, wait a minute! We were supposed to be heading towards the Land of Sweets!
Illya:
Th-That's right!
What happened?
Mini Cú:
Try using your brain for once. It's simple. This place just became a part of the Land of Snow and Honey.
Mash:
...What!?
Mini Cú:
The transfer of territory. Reallocation of resources. Nothing new. But I've had enough of the cutesy names, though.
Fujimaru 1:
Medb's familiar!
Mini Cú:
And now my job as a gatekeeper covers a huge area.
Mini Cú:
Medb isn't home. I'm the only one who will be tearing you apart. Be thankful.
Helena:
The power of that familiar is overwhelming! He's a familiar, but he can summon magical creatures.
Mini Cú:
Oh. I thought something smelled dingy. It's Helena.
Got bored of counting the bookworms in the library?
Mini Cú:
Then we gotta pick up our game. According to Medb, she says it's the first step in molding her army.
Mini Cú:
Can't stop what's already started.
We want no regrets.
Mini Cú:
So I can't have you interfering at this point.
Helena:
I don't think Medb is a woman who'll falter from the likes of us.
Fujimaru 1:
Are you the ones who sent soldiers into Chaldea?
Mini Cú:
O-ho. So Medb finally reached it.
Mini Cú:
I see.
Mini Cú:
Then there's no need to steal the powers of the First Lady. Medb will do as much as she can in her own way.
Fujimaru 1:
If we're already inside enemy territory... Does that mean?
Mash:
Yes, Senpai. Queen Medb said it during the battle.
Mash:
There's a possibility my attacks won't work again!
Mini Cú:
That's right. Your powers will be halved.
No hard feelings.
Mash:
Urg. Even still, there's something I can do!
Illya:
Oh no, Mash... I'll just have to fight harder!
--BATTLE--
Mash:
(Panting)
Mini Cú:
Whoa, you guys are pretty good.
Nice teamwork.
Mini Cú:
You guys must be starting to synchronize after a few battles. The Shielder is a bit annoying too.
Mini Cú:
I guess I should take one down.
Which means...
Mini Cú:
Time to use this!
Gentle Bite Coinchenn!
Mini Cú:
No hard feelings, little girl.
Medb wanted you for her army.
Fujimaru 1:
This familiar can even use a Noble Phantasm!?
Mini Cú:
Yeah. Sorry, but I'm a thousand times stronger than I look. No need to brace yourself. You'll die instantly.
Fujimaru 2:
She wants Illya?
Mini Cú:
Yeah. Seems she'd make the perfect vessel for her wishes.
Mini Cú:
The more you desire, the more thirsty you become.
That's greed. Now, sorry, but...
Mini Cú:
I'm takin' you out.
Mash:
...Urg!
Illya:
Mash!
You protected us again...!
Ruby:
Oh? Illya, look over there!
Illya:
Ruby, we don't have time for... Hmm?
???:
Illya! Ruby! I'm sorry I'm late!
Ruby:
Yahoo! You're safe, Sapphire!☆
Illya:
Sapphire!? It's just you!?
Oh, this is Miyu's stick, everyone!
Fujimaru 1:
But where's Miyu?
Ruby:
Good timing, Sapphire! Make a temporary contract with Mash over there!
Sapphire:
She must be Illya's ally. Understood.
Sapphire:
Please excuse me.
Mash:
My! I feel kind of strange.
Mini Cú:
Hm. You've become a lot like a magical girl all of a sudden.
Mini Cú:
That means my fun ends here.
I guess I'll retreat.
Helena:
You do that, Cú. And go tell Medb...
Helena:
That Illya already has two of the jewels.
Mini Cú:
Yeah, I could tell by the smell.
There's one in your pocket too.
Mini Cú:
Got it. Sounds like a sweet situation Medb would be happy about.
Sapphire:
First, please see this. It's a message from Miyu.
Miyu:
(Panting)
Illya:
Miyu!
Ruby:
Ohh! (Sob) Miyu, what a humiliating position you are in!
Ruby:
However, this bondage thing is somewhat sexy, like...
Ack! Ow, ow, ow, I give up! I give up!
Miyu:
Illya. Or to anyone who knows of Illya.
Miyu:
I am Miyu... Edelfelt.
I am a m-magical girl...
Illya:
(I guess Miyu is a little embarrassed too.)
Miyu:
I came to this world with Illya.
Miyu:
I am a prisoner of the First Lady.
It was she who created this Reality Marble.
Miyu:
Inside the black wall, located in the center of the Reality Marble, is the First Lady's castle.
Miyu:
Only one of her familiars can pass through the black wall.
Miyu:
Medb, the woman who attacked me and Illya, was also unable to penetrate the wall.
Mash:
Queen Medb was eyeing Miyu from the beginning, too.
Miyu:
The First Lady is probably the reason why we've been lured into this world.
Miyu:
She seems to have found technology that could interfere with parallel universes.
Miyu:
I don't think it's for a peaceful purpose.
There must be a connection with why I'm held captive.
Miyu:
We must do something. We must stop her plan.
Miyu:
This castle is like a labyrinth of mirrors.
The familiars have established a solid defense as well.
Miyu:
Still, I believe Sapphire will be able to escape and guide you here.
Miyu:
But... if... it's you, Illya...
Miyu:
Illya, you musn't come. Find someone to help you.
Have them come instead.
Illya:
What!? What are you saying, Miyu!?
Why do you always...
Helena:
Now, now. It's just a recording.
Calm down.
Miyu:
The patrolling familiar is back!
Miyu:
Sapphire, go now! And please be safe!
Illya:
... (Gloomy)
Mash:
Oh no, Illya is extremely depressed...
Sapphire:
Illya. Miyu is waiting for you.
Sapphire:
Please don't be upset. I shall help as well.
Illya:
Yeah, you're right. Thank you, Sapphire.
I'm glad to see you again safe and sound.
Sapphire:
Yes. I should be with Miyu at all times, yet I returned alone. I truly regret this!
Sapphire:
And the ones from Chaldea. I don't know how to thank you for protecting Illya.
Sapphire:
Please, I beg you... Save Miyu!
Ruby:
According to Sapphire, who sneaked inside the castle...
Ruby:
Even though Sapphire is away from Miyu, Miyu's transformation never lifted.
Ruby:
The First Lady must have special powers over magical girls.
Ruby:
This is dangerous! I am worried about Miyu too!
Fujimaru 1:
We can't overlook the First Lady's plan.
Mash:
Yes. Let's all go rescue Sapphire's Master, Illya's friend!
Fujimaru 2:
So the rival friend is the cool type, huh?
Ruby:
You sure know your magical girl stuff! With a clumsy and cute character, a cool and refined one is always needed!
Ruby:
But with a secret fetish that's kept hidden underneath...
Sapphire:
Sister. No further.
Illya:
Wait, what are you talking about?
Illya:
But... Hey, Sapphire... Why did Miyu say something like that?
Illya:
That I shouldn't come...
Sapphire:
I do not know either.
Sapphire:
However, it seems that Miyu noticed something regarding the First Lady's true identity.
Sapphire:
That was probably why she worried for you, Illya.
Mash:
The First Lady's true identity?
Fujimaru 1:
Do you know anything about it, Helena?
Helena:
...We've made a few guesses.
Helena:
The First Lady... The owner of this entire magical girl Reality Marble.
Helena:
She is said to be the very first magical girl.
Helena:
Just as the King of Heroes originates the existences of the many other heroes who illuminate human history...
Helena:
...so too was there someone who first defined the concept of “magical girl.”
Helena:
I have spoken with Medb about such things in the past.
Illya:
Huh? Do you know, Ruby?
Ruby:
Uhhhhh... I just know that this is a dangerous topic!
Ruby:
By that logic, we are just imitations that have been continuously copied...
Ruby:
...so we would be at a great disadvantage in magecraft and the like!
Ruby:
Hehehehe, Ruby is getting fired up!
Sapphire:
That's my sister.
Illya:
Haha. That's heartening, but I'm still worried.
Mash:
However...
Mash:
Is that the real reason Miyu tried to keep Illya away?
4ier!!! The Land of Snow and Honey IV
Helena:
I'm staying here.
Helena:
She knows we're coming, so Medb will be waiting with everything she's got.
Illya:
Helena.
Helena:
There's no making peace or compromising with Medb.
Helena:
Defeat or be defeated, that's all there is with Medb.
Helena:
I just... I don't want to see any more magical girls fall.
Illya:
I understand!
Illya:
Fujimaru, are you okay with that?
Fujimaru 1:
Yeah. Thanks for taking us this far, Helena.
Helena:
Wait, Illya. Take my jewel.
Helena:
You're already the owner.
If you don't need it, bring it back to me.
Helena:
I may have guided you here, but... you know.
Helena:
I may not look it, but I care about my friends.
Illya:
Yeah. I know that, of course!
Helena:
...
Medb:
Heheheh. I've been waiting, Illya.
Medb:
And the Chaldea Master and Servant, too.
That's you, right?
Mini Cú:
...
Medb:
It was only for a moment, but I took a peek inside your world through the familiar I sent.
Medb:
It was so boring! So boring!
Such a stupid world!
Medb:
Why not forget that world and come join me?
Medb:
Or are you that stupid as well? Do you want to die drunk on your own self-satisfaction?
Mash:
...!
Fujimaru 1:
Mash, calm down.
Mash:
But...
Medb:
Heheh. You're always like a little puppy in heat, aren't you? Demi-Servant of Chaldea.
Fujimaru 2:
Don't talk about my friends like that!
Mash:
...That's right!
Mash:
It's true that Master Fujimaru positivity sometimes leads us into death-defying situations...
Mash:
No, that's not what I meant to say!
Mash:
Our Order isn't just about our own self-satisfaction!
Medb:
And that's where you're wrong. You're arrogant enough to think you can save the world all by yourselves.
Medb:
You just want an excuse. You just want to say that you tried to fight back. You'll never really rule your own fate.
Medb:
It's fine. In the end, you're just fake magical girls.
You're not worthy of my army.
Medb:
The one I really want is you, Illya!
Are you ready to join me?
Medb:
Those two are probably secretly trying to take over your world.
Illya:
Medb... No.
They're not like you!
Illya:
Fujimaru would never do that!
Medb:
Are you sure?
Medb:
They seem very interested in knowing what they could use you for.
Illya:
Uhhhngh!
Medb:
Heheh...
Medb:
You want to save your friend, right?
Miyu, was it?
Medb:
Fine. I'll help you.
Medb:
But I want you and Miyu to both join me. We'll make this Chaldea pair our slaves.
Mini Cú:
It's fine to be greedy about things that don't matter.
But don't get too greedy when it counts, Medb.
Mini Cú:
Kill them. They're worthless to be slaves. They may not look it, but they're no different than Spartacus.
Medb:
Oh, Mini Cú! Even shrunken down you're still so cold and cruel!♡
Medb:
But I'm not going to listen to you.
I'm the queen. I decide who lives and who dies.
Illya:
But Medb, aren't you obeying the First Lady?
Mash:
Illya?
Medb:
Oh? I'm interested where you got that idea.
I want you even more now.
Medb:
Yes, that's right. I was. But things are different now.
Medb:
The First Lady's dream is my wish.
Her pain is my suffering.
Medb:
The First Lady. The first one to fall into this world.
The first curse.
Medb:
The black queen who brought light and guidance to this chaotic world. But she can't leave her castle. She can't leave this world.
Medb:
She's all alone... The poor little queen of black.
Medb:
But I no longer feel respect nor pity!
I have begun my rebellion!
Fujimaru 1:
You figured out what she wanted...and took it?
Medb:
That's right! I just granted her wish early.
Medb:
And look at the result. There are only a few magical girls left in this world.
Illya:
Is that... Is that what the First Lady wanted?
That's crazy!
Illya:
And Medb, you're imitating her! You're insane!
Medb:
Heheh.
Medb:
So you're going to resist. That's alright. That's very good. It's faster to overcome you with force!
Medb:
I'll steal you for my own before the First Lady gets you!
Fujimaru 1:
Medb, you're not crazy.
Illya:
...
Mash:
Master...
Medb:
...
Fujimaru 1:
Helena said it. You're fighting against despair.
Mash:
Then are you saying it's the world that's gone crazy?
Is that it, Master?
Medb:
Hah! That's just self-righteous nonsense!
Medb:
Or is this your way of begging for your life?
Illya:
Are you trying to forgive a selfish person like her, who's caused so many problems?
Illya:
Even if it wasn't Medb who kidnapped Miyu, she was the one who made it possible by attacking us!
Illya:
She's even trying to invade Chaldea, the place where you live!
Medb:
Heheheh.
Shut up. Shut up! Shut up!
Fujimaru 1:
It's the First Lady who's at fault, not Medb.
Medb:
Don't talk to me. Don't look at me. Don't touch me! Don't even breathe!
Mash:
Master...
Gasp!
Mini Cú:
Heh. You shouldn't try and ruin a girl's makeup.
Mini Cú:
And Medb, don't get so ticked off. This is the Land of Snow, right? It just won't do for the queen to get all hot-headed.
Medb:
Oh Mini Cú... That's exactly what I needed to hear...!
Medb:
But that doesn't matter right now!
You used your magic without asking me, didn't you?
Medb:
You're going to destroy my castle!
And you'll tire yourself out!
Mini Cú:
Shut up. I'll throw cheese snacks at you.
Medb:
Oh, kill me, Mini Cú! I love you!
Mini Cú:
Yeah, once this mess is all over, I will.
Your reward can wait till then.
Medb:
Yay! Okay, I'll kill them! They'll be first! I will kill those up-to-no-gouda folks first!
Mini Cú:
Gouda? Well, whatever. Just kill them.
Fujimaru 1:
Sorry Illya. I just ticked her off more.
Illya:
You don't look like you're sorry at all!
But we have to fight!
Fujimaru 2:
Those two make a good pair, huh?
Ruby:
Yeah, they're like a match made in heaven.
Just like me and Illya!☆
Illya:
They seem more of a cheesy pair to me.
Mash:
Master and I are just as...
Never mind...!
Mash:
Attack incoming! Help us, Sapphire!
Sapphire:
Understood. This fight is for Miyu!
Ruby:
I'm gonna fight too, okay?
World End Match: Connacht☆Medb
Medb:
Gyah! I can't lose to that pink one!
Illya:
You're the one who's pink!
Mini Cú:
...Sheesh. You lost because you wasted time on cheesy jokes, idiot.
Mini Cú:
It's not like you to be careful and orderly with your invasions. Normally you would've just dove right into the main dish from the get-go.
Mini Cú:
You had just a little bit of sympathy for the fates of your fellow magical girls, and that's why you lost, Medb.
Medb:
Tch! Don't be stupid! That's too much, even coming from you, my lovely Mini Cú...!
Mini Cú:
Huh? Normally I'm your enemy. Our relationship was as that we'd hang out together as enemies.
Medb:
T-That's true, but! I mean, you've always showed me a mix of love and hate!
Medb:
But there was always more love than hate!
I mean, your mean-spiritness was always so cool!
Mini Cú:
Right, whatever. You're weird.
Medb:
Anyway, take back what you said a minute ago!
I'm a queen! I don't care about the other magical girls!
Medb:
I get saved, I get satisfied, I'm cute, and I'm the most important!
Medb:
That's why I made my army! That's the only reason I gathered up magical girls who had no place to go!
Illya:
...
Medb:
What's with that look? Like you're seeing something strange... Who do you think you are!?
Illya:
No, um... What you said just surprised me.
Illya:
But I think that Mr. Mini Cú is right.
Medb must have been a great queen.
Medb:
Huh? What did you say?
Illya:
Because of what you just said.
Illya:
“I get saved, I get satisfied, I'm cute, and I'm the most important!”
Illya:
I think that's also what Nursery and Medea wanted.
Illya:
But you didn't say that you only wanted that for yourself.
Illya:
You didn't say it aloud, but you saw the other magical girls who disappeared as comrades, didn't you?
Fujimaru 1:
The castle's falling apart!?
Mini Cú:
And there's the straw that broke the camel's back. Thanks for finishing her off, little lady.
Illya:
What!?
Mini Cú:
That broke Medb's heart.
The castle falling apart is proof of that.
Mini Cú:
Isn't that right, Medb? You realized your own weakness and this time, you really killed yourself.
Medb:
I'm sorry.
Medb:
But I'm not worthy of you, Mini Cú... I'll die and come back again...
Medb:
I'll come back as a magical girl who's more evil, more debauched, more wicked and even more amazing!
Medb:
Wait for me until then, Mini Cú♡
Mini Cú:
If fate brings us together, maybe. Well, if that does happen, this time I'll kill you myself.
Medb:
Hehe. That's right. That's our relationship, isn't it?
Medb:
Anyway, I guess it's time for me to leave the stage.
For a villain, I think I lasted pretty long.
Medb:
You. Pig. The one from Chaldea.
What was your name?
Fujimaru 1:
Fujimaru.
Medb:
Fujimaru. What a boring name.
I don't want to remember it, so get lost.
Medb:
Take that little puppy dog with you. Don't stay here.
Go save your stupid world.
Medb:
See this out until the end.
Mash:
Medb.
Master! The castle's falling apart!
Sapphire:
Everyone, please evacuate the castle.
Ruby:
Illya! What are you doing!
Illya:
Medb, come with us!
Illya:
With Helena's help, we can heal you!
Fujimaru 1:
That's right, Medb! Come with us!
Mini Cú:
That won't work. She can't escape.
Mini Cú:
This is backlash.
Mini Cú:
She built up quite a tab forcibly interfering with other worlds, and now all that stress is coming back to her.
Mini Cú:
Trying to deny that is an insult to her. She played the villain knowing what she was getting into from the start.
Mini Cú:
You can have her life and her heart, but you can't have her pride. Now get out of here.
Mash:
Master!
Fujimaru 1:
Sorry, Medb.
Mash:
...
Mini Cú:
They left, huh?
Tch, I'm done for, too.
Mini Cú:
Medb, what little magical energy you had is gone now.
Medb:
...
Mini Cú:
I always wanted to ask.
Mini Cú:
What's the happiest thing in the world to you?
Medb:
I already have it... Mini Cú...
Medb:
The greatest happiness a woman can have... is being next to the one they love... when they die.
Mini Cú:
What? The hell did you say, Medb? Wake up.
Mini Cú:
Seriously? Wow. I guess in the very end, you won.
Sapphire:
The castle has completely collapsed.
Mash:
The jewel! It's in my hand...
Helena:
I see. So Medb became an Echo.
Helena:
Then someday, I'll see her in my library.
Though I've never heard of her liking books.
Illya:
Helena. Just as I promised, I'll give back your jewel.
Helena:
Thank you.
Oh, don't worry about Medb.
Helena:
She was more than willing to kill you.
There's no need for pity.
Helena:
And Medb entrusted you with that jewel. Not to you, Illya, but to Mash.
Helena:
At last. We have all four jewels.
Which means...
Fujimaru 1:
We can go inside the black wall?
Illya:
To the First Lady's kingdom...!
Mash:
The jewels... They're glowing brighter!
letztes: The Land of Stars and Crystals I
Mash:
The black wall is gone!
Helena:
At last, we can venture to the First Lady's kingdom.
Illya:
I'll take a look from above!
Mash:
Thanks! Be careful!
Ruby:
Ho-hoh? So that's the First Lady's kingdom, huh?
Ruby:
It's cold, like time itself is frozen.
And there's a solitary castle in the middle...
Ruby:
It's like the mind of a magical girl had taken form!
Illya:
What kind of mind is it?
Sapphire:
The castle feels different from when I made my escape.
Sapphire:
So not only did the wall come down, there was a change inside, too?
Illya:
A change? Hm? Something's flying towards us.
Illya:
Is it... a bird?
Sapphire:
Huh? That's...!
Helena:
I feel a great flow of magical energy...
Helena:
The magical energy that filled this world is gathering where the First Lady is.
Helena:
Does she have a vessel capable of holding all that magical power?
Mash:
Master, if we're on schedule, then now...
Fujimaru 1:
Yeah, Chaldea should be... there it is!
Dr. Roman:
Hey, you're all looking good!
I was worried, but I'm glad you're safe!
Dr. Roman:
Huh? Where's Illya and Ruby?
D-Don't tell me...
Mash:
They're both fine. We also met up with Ruby's little sister, Sapphire.
Mash:
Doctor, tell us what is happening there!
Dr. Roman:
Little sister? A Mystic Code has a little sister?
No, I can't think about it now. We're in a hurry.
Dr. Roman:
I had a meeting with Da Vinci and we came up with an engineering solution.
Dr. Roman:
That world is very dangerous.
But we've become very involved with it.
Dr. Roman:
At this point, we're a part of this too.
We can't just ignore it.
Dr. Roman:
And personally, I can't just leave Illya when she needs help.
Mash:
Does that mean Chaldea is going to provide us full operational support?
Da Vinci:
That's right!
Da Vinci:
Of course, personally I'm extremely interested in that grotesque... I mean, strange world.
Da Vinci:
That space should normally be... hmm... I guess you could call it a dumping ground for thoughts and feelings.
Helena:
You don't need to be so careful with your words. Yes. This place is purgatory itself.
Helena:
This is a dumping ground for magical girls who dreamed an endless dream, and failed to reach it!
Da Vinci:
Brava! All right, no need to explain!
Mash:
It's not wonderful! Nothing is all right!
Da Vinci:
No, this is good! It's very good!
A magical girl is an extremely unstable being.
Da Vinci:
They have overwhelming magical energy, and sometimes can use magecraft intuitively, and without the proper rituals.
Da Vinci:
But for those who lose their possibilities and give in to despair, their obsession becomes a flow of unformed magical energy.
Da Vinci:
A stagnant pool forming in a chaotic waste dump.
Da Vinci:
The First Lady became the locus of those chaotic thoughts and feelings, and the Reality Marble formed mostly on its own.
Da Vinci:
I assume that's about what happened.
Helena:
Are you... a genius?
Da Vinci:
Of course I am. I apologize.
I should've told you so earlier.
Mash:
Then that means...
Fujimaru 1:
If she disappears, everything will return to normal?
Da Vinci:
That's right! That's what I'm after, you see!
It's the best way to solve the root problem here.
Da Vinci:
But I don't know what that active magical girl with you will think. Or the residents of that world.
Dr. Roman:
Man, you can be harsh. Though that may be the most realistic solution.
Dr. Roman:
But let me say one thing.
Dr. Roman:
You guys have done all kinds of things that I thought were impossible.
Dr. Roman:
You can't make a miracle happen if you're worried about safety, efficiency, or a plan B.
Dr. Roman:
If you've made it this far, you should do what you want to do.
Fujimaru 1:
I'm grateful, Doctor.
Mash:
Thank you.
Helena:
Illya came back.
Illya:
Fujimaru! The First Lady's familiars are coming! There are tons of them!
Ruby:
Ooh! This is an exciting situation! There's so many of them they're making the sky dark!
Mash:
Master!
Fujimaru 1:
Yup, let's do our best to save Miyu!
Illya:
Right!
Fujimaru 2:
What's wrong, Helena?
Helena:
It's nothing.
Come on, here they come!
Helena:
I'll make a defensive wall to block their attacks.
Fujimaru, you clear an opening.
letztes: The Land of Stars and Crystals II
Illya:
Schneiden!
Mash:
While we're busy battling them, more keep coming...
Illya:
Shot, shot, shot!
(Not at a place like this...)
Illya:
Feuer!
(Not before I finish...)
Illya:
I can't stop here!
Illya:
I'll open a path in front of us! Ruby!
Ruby:
Okay, Illya!☆ Transferring all physical defense to firepower!
Illya:
FEUER!
Sapphire:
Follow me! I'll guide you.
Mash:
Let us handle the rear! We can't rely on the Doctor's scans beyond this point!
Fujimaru 1:
Oh, right. We can't talk to him anymore, can we?
Mash:
Yes. That's what the Doctor and Da Vinci said.
Mash:
Each time they communicate or do a Rayshift to this world, it establishes a Leyline.
Mash:
So they cut off all normal communications and are on standby for our request to return home.
Mash:
But the risk of hacking remains.
Mash:
The other Servants should be defending Chaldea.
Mash:
But Chaldea is a delicate facility.
We need to avoid any more attacks!
Fujimaru 1:
Right!
letztes: The Land of Stars and Crystals III
Illya:
(Panting) This is the First Lady's domain...!?
Ruby:
It's so shiny and sparkly that it gives you a feeling of security, like you've come home, you know?
Illya:
What do you mean, “come home!?” It's so smooth that it's hard to run!
Illya:
That being said, if we flew, we'd be easy pickings for her familiars!
Ruby:
True☆ And down here, the twinkling ground acts like a mirror, so good job!
Illya:
Hey, d-don't look!
Sapphire:
Illya, Ruby, this is no time for fooling around.
Miyu is waiting for us.
Illya:
T-That's right! (Sweat)
That must be the First Lady's castle!
Helena:
As we get closer to the castle, the sticks are shifting form... The familiars are getting stronger!
Mash:
The First Lady is reacting to our presence, trying to keep us from coming closer.
Ruby:
So she's been playing hide-and-seek behind the black wall all this time... Is she shy?
Fujimaru 1:
Or maybe she's in a hurry to try something?
Helena:
Yes. It has something to do with the jewels we've been gathering. That's my guess.
Mash:
You mean it was the First Lady herself who disengaged the black wall? Not the power of the four jewels?
Mash:
Does that mean she has been intentionally pitting the magical girls against each other from this isolated space?
Helena:
It's contradictory. As if two wills are at war with each other.
Helena:
Either way, to learn her true motive, we'll just have to ask the First Lady herself.
Fujimaru 2:
Maybe she doesn't actually want to fight Illya...
Illya:
And remember what Miyu said at the end of the message... That I should stay away...
Illya:
I have a really bad feeling about this...
Ruby:
Oh, Illya, you get it, don't you?
Wink-wink, nudge-nudge☆
Illya:
Knock it off!
Sapphire:
Fujimaru! Illya! Enemy ambush!
Illya:
Agh! There are so many of them!
Sapphire:
I'm so sorry! This is my fault for being a careless guide.
Mash:
Ungh! Getting into a drawn-out battle here isn't a good idea! If our pursuers catch up, it could prove fatal!
Fujimaru 1:
...Go on ahead, Illya!
Ruby:
What a good idea! If Illya makes a break for it alone, she'll get right through!
Illya:
I could... never do that!
Illya:
Ruby! Sapphire! Give me your power!
Illya:
I can't use my Class Cards right now, so I can't come up with a strategy that targets the enemy's weakness!
Illya:
I'll hold them off here, so the rest of you can go on ahead!
Sapphire:
That won't do, Illya! You wouldn't be able to get to Miyu on your own!
Mash:
Master! What should we do?
Fujimaru 1:
Draw out the battle here? It's our only option!
Mash:
Right! We'll just have to be very careful!
Fujimaru 2:
Helena, can't you fight?
Helena:
You're asking that from a simple mage with wafer-thin armor who's only just keeping up a protective wall for you?
Helena:
Though you did see through my lie at the neutral zone. That's right. Right now, I have my own stone, so I can fight to some extent.
Helena:
Still, I'm not your Servant.
I'm here as a magical girl and that's all.
Helena:
So... I'll make my own judgment about you.
--BATTLE--
Illya:
(Panting) Still... so far to go... Ugh...
Helena:
Pull yourself together, Illya. (Spank)
Illya:
Eeeek, my behind! Helena!?
Helena:
I have a confession to make, Illya.
Helena:
I'm surprised by how much spirit you've shown.
Before, I looked down on you as a fake magical girl.
Helena:
Tradition, experience, knowledge... It's far from those secrets of magecraft, but I realize again just how much power you have.
Illya:
(Panting) Huh?
Helena:
It's coming.
Helena:
By the wisdom of Serapis!!
Mash:
The enemies are... Uh Helena, what is that form?
Illya:
Cool!
Helena:
I've always been cool.
I just have low blood pressure.
Helena:
Now go, Fujimaru.
Go with Illya to see the First Lady!
Helena:
Those familiars are targeting magical girls. So I'll...!
Fujimaru 1:
Okay. Please stay safe.
Helena:
Thank you, Fujimaru.
Helena:
If we ever get the chance, I'll tell you my story.
Fujimaru 2:
Helena, are you...?
Helena:
In your eyes, do you see me as a Servant?
Helena:
But I'm a magical girl from a certain parallel world.
I'm a mere apparition.
Helena:
I'm a half-baked magical girl who couldn't become someone's hope, or even an Echo.
Helena:
Therefore, like you said, at least let me have the spotlight for this scene.
Illya:
Helena!
Helena:
Don't waste the time I've given you.
Hurry up and go!
Sapphire:
I am in your debt, Helena.
Come, Illya and everyone! Quickly!
Mash:
...
Helena:
I finally managed to drive them off.
Helena:
Oh, I forgot to tell them. Well, to be honest, I didn't want to tell them.
Helena:
For Illya and the others to return to their original world, they need the jewels.
Helena:
I'm not going to give them my stone, but as long as Illya and Miyu have two, it should be plenty.
Helena:
Medb accidentally proved that. I finally understand the meaning of that accursed stone...
???:
Are you talking to yourself?
Or is that a prayer, Helena?
Helena:
Al. I didn't intend to summon you.
Mini Edison:
As long as you fight without abandoning your spirit of inquiry, I will stay by your side. I told you that once.
Helena:
...So you did.
Helena:
Xa xa xa! We're both old, so we better not overdo it.
Helena:
Not to mention, your prized DC is thoroughly rusty.
Mini Edison:
Don't compare me with any AC stuff! DC is eternal!
Mini Edison:
My role is to support your activities, invest in you, and be happy about it! Now is the time to open your mystic grimoire!
Helena:
Yes, let's do it.
Come and get me, familiars of The First Lady!
Helena:
Lemuria slumbers in the seas! Hierarchy graces the skies! And I stand upon the earth!
Helena:
Meet the Magical Girl Guru, Mahatma♀Helena!
letztes: The Land of Stars and Crystals IV
Fujimaru 1:
It's pretty sparse inside the castle.
Mash:
But the structure is complex.
Mash:
We would be totally lost if Sapphire weren't here.
Mash:
And they've stopped pursuing us. Helena...
Fujimaru 2:
I'm worried about Helena.
Illya:
I-I should probably go back!
Mash:
Right now, let's carry out our own mission.
Mash:
Helena is strong, so she'll be fine. The same goes for Nursery and Medea...
Illya:
You're right, Mash. After all, Miyu is waiting!
Fujimaru 1:
It's pretty sparse inside the castle.
Mash:
True. But the structure is complex.
Mash:
We would be totally lost if Sapphire weren't here.
Mash:
And they've stopped pursuing us. Helena...
Fujimaru 2:
I'm worried about Helena.
Illya:
I-I should probably go back!
Mash:
Right now, let's carry out our own mission.
Mash:
Helena is strong, so she'll be fine. The same goes for Nursery and Medea...
Illya:
You're right, Mash. After all, Miyu is waiting!
Illya:
Finally. I'll finally be able to see Miyu!
Sapphire:
We just have to go through the final corridor!
Mash:
Someone's sitting on the throne!
Sapphire:
That's the First Lady... Ah!
Ruby:
What's this?
Illya:
Huh...? You're...
Illya:
–Chloe!?
Chloe:
Shoot, you made it, huh?
You really don't know when to give up.
Illya:
Chloe!?
Illya:
C-Chloe, what are you doing here!?
Mash:
That's Chloe? You did mention she was like a twin, but she really is the spitting image of you!
Mash:
Is she a magical girl, too!?
Sapphire:
Yes. But why didn't I sense Chloe's presence?
Chloe:
(Sigh) You've caused me so much trouble. I wish you would be a little more considerate, knowing that we share pain.
Illya:
Oh, sorry. Wait a minute!
Where's Miyu!?
Illya:
I get it, you came here to rescue her, didn't you, Chloe? Where are Rin and Luvia?
Chloe:
No, they're not here.
It's just me and Miyu.
Chloe:
We've been here a long, long time.
But I've been here since the beginning.
Illya:
Huh? What are you talking about, Chloe?
You've been here for a long, long time?
Mash:
Where is Miyu?
Sapphire:
Over there! But be careful!
Illya:
Miyu!
Miyu:
...
Fujimaru 1:
Mash, check her condition!
Mash:
Roger that. What's this!?
Fujimaru 1:
Part of Miyu's restraints are transforming...!?
Chloe:
It's a defensive reaction of the Voile de Deuil.
Chloe:
It's an Anti-Magical Girl Mystic Code.
Even you wouldn't escape unscathed, Mash.
Ruby:
What, an Anti-Magical Girl Mystic Code!?
That's impossible! It's way too niche!
Illya:
You're one to talk, Ruby, you cheerful-type something-something spirit... But never mind that now!
Illya:
What's going on, Chloe? If it's a joke, it's gone too far! Release Miyu right now!
Chloe:
Oh, what should I do? I mean, I went to all the trouble of making her mine.
Chloe:
It used to be so annoying how you would always monopolize her, Illya.
Chloe:
Heh... This feels nostalgic. Yes. Maybe this is closer to my true self.
Fujimaru 1:
Illya? Is Chloe being controlled by the First Lady?
Illya:
Ulp... She could be. But she seems to be acting pretty naturally to me...
Illya:
Chloe always did love pranks like this...
Ruby:
I'm not picking up any strange magical energy.
This is the normal Chloe.
Fujimaru 2:
How did she get her supply of magical energy?
Illya:
Ah! That's right! If she was controlling those familiars, it would've taken a lot of...
Mash:
Um, Illya... Miyu's magical energy... Could it be being harvested?
Illya:
Huh? Ah, yes... It's possible.
That's why Miyu is tied up like that!
Illya:
I'm a little jeal... No! I mean, that's terrible harassment!
Sapphire:
My apologies for butting in. I don't think that's what Fujimaru meant...
Sapphire:
You don't find it questionable that Chloe isn't draining magical energy from us magical sticks?
Illya:
My mind immediately went there? Aughhh!
Mash:
I-I'm sorry, Master! I went off the rails!
Chloe:
Whew... You people certainly are noisy...
Chloe:
I don't want you getting the wrong idea, so let me dispel your doubts.
Chloe:
Illya, when you and Miyu went to the Mirror World...
Chloe:
I was actually with you.
Chloe:
You two were in a hurry to get something there, so it seems you didn't notice my presence.
Chloe:
Flustered, I did a little tuning and jumped into the Reality Marble. In retrospect, that probably wasn't a good idea.
Chloe:
The next thing I knew, I was in this world.
And all alone.
Illya:
You were here... before us?
In this world?
Chloe:
That's right. Ever since, I've been alone here.
Like a time warp from the unstable jump?
Chloe:
When I looked out over this world, I saw magical girls at war with each other, and I didn't know which were allies.
Chloe:
Even just concealing my presence consumed more and more of my magical energy.
Chloe:
It got to the point where I almost disappeared.
And I was very... lonely.
Chloe:
But then I met Her.
Mash:
You mean the First Lady...?
Chloe:
Her familiar, to be precise.
Fujimaru 1:
Illya?
Illya:
Wha...!?
Illya:
You were that reckless!?
Chloe, you dummy!
Chloe:
Huh? How about you two? The ones who set off for the Mirror World without even telling me!
Illya:
But we had an errand to do for Rin and we were in a hurry.
Fujimaru 2:
Chloe, we're from Chaldea.
Chloe:
Stop. There's no need for introductions.
Chloe:
You're Fujimaru and Mash.
Chloe:
I've gathered what's going on, more or less, through Illya's senses. So I know your circumstances as well.
Mash:
Then why didn't you join us, Chloe?
Chloe:
That was because...
Chloe:
Because I was hoping that Rin or Luvia would come and save us.
Chloe:
But since they didn't notice I was gone in the first place, of course they didn't come to save me.
Chloe:
But...that wasn't it. My appearance in this world was inevitable.
Chloe:
The First Lady told me something. She was brutally honest. It was like a knife sliding through my ribs.
Chloe:
“Is the meaning of your life to be an accessory to Illya? You're like a wildcat that's been declawed.” That's what she said.
Illya:
That's not...!
Chloe:
Yes, yes, I know. You deny it. Of course.
You're Illya.
Chloe:
More importantly, I don't see it that way, either.
That being said...
Chloe:
I did realize that some part of me thinks of you as “number one.”
Chloe:
After all, I would even be friendly with Miyu for your sake. It's for my sake, too, so it's only natural.
Illya:
Chloe...
Mash:
Master... Chloe's mood is shifting...
Ruby:
Eeeek! MG Power just shot up! How many transformations does she have left!?
Sapphire:
But we still don't have an opening.
We need to somehow get to Miyu.
Fujimaru 1:
Servility and trust are two different things, Chloe.
Chloe:
I know that! I know the essence of the world is how unfair it is!
Chloe:
And I know that you're an extremely decent person, so much that being sarcastic to you makes me feel like a fool!
Fujimaru 2:
Tanned skin and pale eyes are great charm points!
Chloe:
Wha... Huh!?
Illya:
T-That's right! Beautiful tanned...
That's not the point!
Illya:
Chloe, I'm the one who idolizes you! You're strong and have your act together infinitely more than me!
Chloe:
That's not what I'm talking about. I don't think you'll ever be able to understand it, Illya.
Chloe:
But even I have a wish that I want to come true.
Chloe:
For my sake alone. My own wish that would reach the world.
Illya:
Chloe is... projecting a weapon!
Ruby:
Oh my. This is definitely battle mode, isn't it?
Illya:
Oh, Chloe, how could you!?
Illya:
Fujimaru, Mash, and Sapphire too, please!
Illya:
Please give me just a little time!
Fujimaru 1:
T-Take it easy, though.
Mash:
If that's your wish, Illya.
Fujimaru 2:
This is a sisterly fight, right? Knock yourself out!
Mash:
A full throttle magic combat with the sisters' supremacy on the line... I'm kind of captiva... N-No!
Mash:
If it becomes dangerous, I'm going to stop you both!
Illya:
Thank you.
Ruby!
Ruby:
Yes☆ Can I punch the mischievous Chloe once?
Sapphire:
Come on, there's not a moment to lose.
Let's just use my brainwashing device...
Illya:
No! I'm going to turn off the switch that made her weird!
Ruby:
Yeah, yeah☆ Beat her with your conviction, right?
I know full well what you're going to do!
Ruby:
But I also think you should apologize to her later for neglecting her.
Illya:
Ulp...
Any way, get away from Miyu, Chloe!
Chloe:
Forget it! Miyu is mine now!
World End Match: First Lady
Chloe:
(Panting)
Chloe:
I guess it's hard for us to have a decisive showdown, Illya...
Chloe:
There's a limit to how much I can bear my shared pain with you.
Illya:
Chloe!? What's wrong? Your body...!
Chloe:
Isn't it obvious? It's the First Lady.
Chloe:
She doesn't just want Miyu. She wants you, too.
Who knew there was someone greedier than me.
Illya:
W-What are you talking about, Chloe!?
Mash:
Chloe. It was the First Lady's idea to abduct Miyu, wasn't it?
Chloe:
I'm not...sure about that...
Illya:
Chloe? Chloe!?
Chloe:
Unhhh... Wait, not yet... Stop... it...!
E：???:
As promised... I waited until after your duel with Illya, Chloe.
E：???:
As a vessel, you are impeccable.
However, it seems you fall short of Illya's heart.
Mash:
Chloe's body... Even her voice has changed completely!
Fujimaru 1:
The First Lady...!?
E：First Lady:
That's right. It's a pleasure to meet you.
I am the First Lady. The first magical girl.
E：First Lady:
Shall I introduce myself further? Perhaps in an amiable, courteous way, as befits a magical girl?
E：First Lady:
I was born in the Demon World, but raised in the human world.
E：First Lady:
I hid my identity and fought for people. But because of that, I lost my homeland and was forgotten by both humans and my brethren in the Demon World.
E：First Lady:
Now no one knows who I am. There is no longer anyone around who will call my name.
E：First Lady:
But I didn't hate humans or my brethren. I definitely didn't sink to the level of becoming a witch.
E：First Lady:
Right now, my only desire is to keep making girls' wishes come true.
E：First Lady:
I want to spread the magic of magical girls... of love and hope... throughout the world.
E：First Lady:
Those feelings attracted Echoes to this Reality Marble.
Fujimaru 1:
Are you an Echo?
E：First Lady:
Yes. Until Chloe came here, I suppose my existence was ephemeral like that.
E：First Lady:
To form and sustain this Reality Marble, I needed to have an invisible presence.
E：First Lady:
I gave the girls temporary bodies and magical energy to act as materials for them to create towns, castles, and kingdoms in this world.
E：First Lady:
But it wasn't the same. To really make my wish come true, I needed a real magical girl. That's where Chloe came in.
Fujimaru 2:
Why did you set the magical girls on each other?
E：First Lady:
Ah... I regret that.
E：First Lady:
It wasn't supposed to happen like this.
It's too late now, though.
E：First Lady:
There's not enough space! This Reality Marble isn't big enough for all of us.
E：First Lady:
That's why I won't let you interfere.
We need another world!
Mash:
Why did you need Chloe?
E：First Lady:
Why did Chloe appear before me?
E：First Lady:
It doesn't matter. That's not the issue. I have no intention of letting this opportunity get away from me.
E：First Lady:
Yes Mash, that's why I reached out to you as well, an employee of Chaldea.
E：First Lady:
With Miyu, I can do it. I can give all of the Echoes new incarnations.
E：First Lady:
And not inside this empty cage that is this Reality Marble, but in the real world.
E：First Lady:
Infinite parallel worlds host infinite crises. That's where you'll find real enemies who need to be defeated.
E：First Lady:
There are miserable people who sincerely need magical girls!!
E：First Lady:
Hence the Little Witch Codes... Nay, Prisma Codes!
E：First Lady:
We'll race to even the farthest parallel worlds!
Because my wish will come true!
Illya:
This is...
Illya:
Just like Medb... No, this is different... It's more evil... Darker...
Ruby:
Exactly. And she still tells herself that the means justify the end.
E：First Lady:
Illya... You would deny me my one and only, non-negotiable wish.
E：First Lady:
After seeing the way you behaved towards the magical girls of this world, I finally realized that.
E：First Lady:
I will allow no interference.
Soon, I will absorb Miyu.
E：First Lady:
Miyu is a stubborn one. And Chloe, who's already a part of me, resists assimilation even now. She is a truly disobedient girl.
E：First Lady:
Even so, it's only a matter of time.
Illya:
Ms. Lady...
Illya:
I can tell that you believe in the magical girls.
But there's one thing I know.
Illya:
No wish is worth sacrificing Miyu!
Illya:
And not only Miyu! Chloe, too.
Chloe is my precious other half!
Fujimaru 1:
That's right! A selfish wish like that will never come true.
E：First Lady:
Is it because I'm an Echo? Nothing more than an echo that doesn't resonate within anyone's heart?
E：First Lady:
You'll forget me too, won't you?
Fujimaru 1:
I have no intention of consoling you.
Illya:
Fujimaru...
Illya:
I can't go that far in rejecting The First Lady...
I can't repudiate her...
Fujimaru 2:
Deep down, everyone has their own magical girl.
Illya:
How could you say a crazy line like that with a straight face!?
Mash:
B-but that sounds a little... like you are trying to cheer up the First Lady!
Illya:
Ms. Lady, you are my Senpai as a magical girl, and a major Senpai at that.
Illya:
But that's even more reason for not being able to overlook this. If you're making a mistake, I have to tell you so.
E：First Lady:
Heeheeheehee.
E：First Lady:
The same thing. Chloe told me the same thing.
And now you too!
E：First Lady:
Do you really want to consign me to the past that badly?
E：First Lady:
When I can save the world... When I can become queen...
E：First Lady:
Illya, eventually, so could you.
Illya:
Listen to me, First Lady! Your wish would only turn into a curse!
Illya:
We magical girls are always getting involved in half-baked, outrageous trouble.
Illya:
But even so, there are good things...
Wait? ...Were there good things? Um...
Ruby:
Excuse me, Illya? At this point, you should be completely candid.
Illya:
Ah, t-that's right! There are moments where I thought it was a good thing!
Illya:
I got to meet Miyu, whom I just love. And with Chloe,
I got a sassy yet dependable little sister.
Illya:
With Ruby, Sapphire, Rin, and Luvia, I had reservations at first...
Illya:
...but they've become dear friends for whom I could give up everything.
Illya:
That's the best treasure of all, isn't it?
E：First Lady:
I had friends, too. But the world abandoned me.
Illya:
Huh?
E：First Lady:
Fujimaru, what about you?
E：First Lady:
I suspect you actually want to be forgotten. Perhaps that's the kind of person you are.
E：First Lady:
But... what would you do if you could save the world?
E：First Lady:
Right now, it's tougher and more painful than ever before and you want to run away, but you're still alive, right?
E：First Lady:
The moment you save the world, you would die.
E：First Lady:
And Mash Kyrielight, what about you?
E：First Lady:
Will your bond with Fujimaru last forever?
Really?
E：First Lady:
Would you be able to endure if you were abandoned?
E：First Lady:
If you could be with your Master for eternity, would you cling to that hope?
Mash:
...
Mash:
No. That isn't hope.
Mash:
Ms. Lady, you're very hurt.
No one was able to heal or protect you.
Mash:
You've fought cruel destiny all this time, haven't you?
I respect you. I definitely don't pity you.
Mash:
It's a miracle that you and I met. I won't forget you.
Even if you forget me.
E：First Lady:
Ah... You... lie... That's ...a lie!
Miyu:
... Ill... ya...
Illya:
Miyu! You've come to!
Sapphire:
Miyu!
Miyu:
Help... The First Lady... Help Chloe...
Miyu:
Her words... are false... She's hiding a wish... that won't come true deep in her heart...
Miyu:
Please... She's crying on the inside. Take her hand... Just as Illya... Just as you did for me...
Illya:
Okay. Hold on just a little longer, Miyu!
Miyu:
Also... um...
Illya:
Huh? W-What?
Miyu:
Being with Chloe all this time... It's been awkward...
Miyu:
I mean, not knowing what to talk about... But silence is... painful...
Illya:
Huh?
E：First Lady/Chloe:
Excuse me, what was that!? When I'm doing everything I can in here to fight her!!
Illya:
Oh, Chloe's back.
E：First Lady/Chloe:
I tried to be on my best behavior with you! So if you've got something to say about me, say it to my face! Oh, you're such a pain!
Mash:
D-Don't, Chloe!
If you show hatred towards Miyu.
E：First Lady/Chloe:
Oh, shoot...! Come on... Illya, do something!
Miyu:
Ah... I'm... sorry...
E：First Lady:
Heh... Heh-heh...
E：First Lady:
By seeking out Miyu, Chloe and I have become one.
E：First Lady:
Thanks to that, I've broken through Chloe's mental wall. Now I can fight with all my might in this body!
E：First Lady:
Once I defeat all of you in front of Miyu, her last emotional support will crumble, and I will reach infinite worlds!
Illya:
And then, when you get to those worlds, what are you going to sacrifice next?
Illya:
After all, Miyu's fighting you.
And I can't lose!
Illya:
Because the magical girls of Kaleid are two people in one!
Ruby:
That's right! Now I'm moved, too!
Sapphire:
Illya, everyone, please!
Illya:
Fujimaru! Mash!
Illya:
Please, just one more time! Let's fight together!
Fujimaru 1:
Mash. Mash Kyrielight.
Mash:
Yes, Master. Our feelings are one.
Mash:
For the longest time, I wondered why I wanted to become Illya's ally... but now I know.
Mash:
Nursery and Medea, too.
Mash:
Despite wielding amazing power and beset by their own despair, they refused to walk away.
Mash:
Every time, I felt choked up. I thought to myself,
“are magical girls really that sad?”
Mash:
But Illya didn't give up. Even if her wish was immature, there was nothing to be ashamed of!
Fujimaru 1:
Yeah, we'll side with those that persevere.
Illya:
Fujimaru...
Thankyou...
Ruby:
Mash and Fujimaru, you're both the best!
I will always be grateful, too!
Fujimaru 2:
Have you learned something about strength from Illya?
Mash:
Yes, Senpai.
Mash:
With magical girls, I'm sure they don't get all of their strength from using magic!
Mash:
Illya. This is my fight now, too.
Mash:
Let's get Chloe and Miyu out of here!
And then we'll help the First Lady, too.
Illya:
Okay! Thank you!
E：First Lady:
I'm going to chant magic words.
E：First Lady:
Words for the unhappy, unfulfilled worlds beyond the reflective pathways of dimensions!
epilog: The Windflower Blooming in the Breeze
E：First Lady/Chloe:
Ugh...
Illya:
(Panting) We wore her down... right?
Illya:
Are you the First Lady now? Or Chloe?
Ruby:
Hmm? Looks like Chloe's got the advantage.
Ruby:
The First Lady's response is disappearing from within her!
Illya:
What!? W-Wait a second, Ms. Lady!
Illya:
Can you hear me, Chloe!? Please!
Just hang in there a little more!
E：First Lady/Chloe:
Don't say it like it's nothing... It's not that easy...
Mash:
If Da Vinci and Master's theories are correct...
Mash:
When the First Lady disappears, the Reality Marble will vanish too... That means we're running out of time!
Sapphire:
I've confirmed that the binding Mystic Code has been released! Miyu!?
Fujimaru 1:
Mash, take care of Miyu!
Mash:
Right! I'll help her immediately!
Mash:
Miyu, can you stand? Please grab on to me.
Miyu:
Yes, I'm fine... but... Let me hold onto your arm for a moment, Mash.
Fujimaru 2:
(Never said it but actually prefers Miyu) You okay, Miyu?
Miyu:
Yes. Thank you for helping Illya.
Miyu:
I'm fine now. Now please, go to her... Help Chloe...
Miyu:
Um... I'm fine.
Miyu:
I'm fine, really. You can put me down now...
Mash:
Master?
Miyu:
Whew. Thank you too, Sapphire.
Sapphire:
Miyu...
Illya:
I'm so glad, Miyu...
First Lady:
What is the big idea, Illya?
First Lady:
If you don't finish me off... You won't win.
First Lady:
I'll never give up... I can't give up...
Illya:
It's not about winning or losing, Ms. Lady.
Miyu:
That's right. It's not.
Miyu:
What you're doing isn't about obsession, or ideals.
It's about atonement.
Miyu:
First Lady, you just can't accept it.
What you have is different from Illya's pure feelings.
Illya:
M-Miyu...
Miyu:
Illya, tell her how you feel.
Illya:
What? Me!?
Miyu:
Yes. Tell her everything. Honestly.
So that it will reach her heart.
Illya:
Got it, Miyu.
First Lady:
...
Illya:
Ms. Lady... I-I...
Illya:
I'm always so busy dealing with what's going on around me... So I've never thought about saving the world...
Illya:
No, to be honest, I forced myself to think it had nothing to do with me because things were far away.
Illya:
But if I was in your place, Ms. Lady...
Illya:
If I had such an incredible power that it became my duty to help people who relied on me...
Illya:
I wouldn't know what I'd do... Or who I would chose.
First Lady:
...I see.
Illya:
But, if my friends and family that I love were in danger, I'd use my magic without hesitation.
Illya:
I'd use my magic to protect everyone's smiles.
First Lady:
Even if it meant that you yourself had to cry?
Illya:
...(Nod)
First Lady:
Illya... I'm jealous of you.
First Lady:
But at the same time, I think you're foolish.
It's like looking at the old me.
First Lady:
I couldn't save... the friend I cared about...
First Lady:
I had to choose between her and the world and I chose...the world.
First Lady:
I couldn't save... my best... friend...
Mash:
That's...
Miyu:
...
Illya:
You sacrificed... your friend?
Was she a magical girl, too?
First Lady:
...No.
First Lady:
She refused to be a magical girl. She became an enemy of the world, and brought despair to everyone.
First Lady:
That's why I... I had to stop her... myself...
First Lady:
I'll never see her again... I couldn't tell her... that I was sorry!
Illya:
...
Helena:
I don't know about that.
Mash:
...!?
Illya:
Helena!?
Illya:
Helena! And Mr. Lion, too!?
Helena:
Yes. I unfortunately survived. Just like the First Lady? No, that's not right.
Helena:
Not only did I fail to become something, I failed to die, too. I really fail at everything, don't I?
Mini Edison:
Don't worry, self-deprecation is a habit of hers.
Just ignore her.
Helena:
Al...! Keep your mouth shut...
Helena:
When your battle started for real, the First Lady's familiars ceased to be a threat.
Helena:
It was tough just getting to this throne room.
The barriers on this castle are too strong, and she can't get in.
Helena:
If Miyu's okay, let's take the First Lady and go outside.
Helena:
While we move, can you tell me about the girl the First Lady is possessing?
Mash:
Of course, but who is “she”?
Illya:
Eeee...!
Illya:
Are you that ghost from before?
Mash:
What are you doing here?
Helena:
This Echo is probably the one that was often wandering around the black wall.
Helena:
After the wall fell, I found her heading for the castle.
Helena:
Wait a minute, First Lady, do you know her?
Helena:
She looks like she wants to say something to you.
First Lady:
...
Echo:
...!
Illya:
It looks like she's really mad.
Illya:
She trying to tell the First Lady something?
But I don't know what she's saying!
Illya:
Ruby, can't you do something?
Ruby:
Just leave it to me! Try my special ghost medium potion! Here! (Stab)
Illya:
Oooh!
Mash:
She didn't even ask for permission!
Helena:
Did the ghost really posess her? That was easy. I know it's redundant to say it, but that Mystic Code has some crazy functions.
Miyu:
Well... Illya? I mean, Ghost?
First Lady:
...
???:
...ou...
???:
...You...
???:
You... dummy!
E：First Lady/Chloe:
Oww...She just hit me! What was that for...?
E：First Lady/Chloe:
Ow! That really hurt...!
Ruby:
Oh-ho? The defensive response brought Chloe halfway back.
Fujimaru 1:
Who are you?
Miyu:
The girl possessing Illya...
Miyu:
I may know her. If she's the girl from my dream...
Mash:
Your dream?
Helena:
But it just looks like Illya and Chloe are brawling.
Fujimaru 1:
Um, Illya?
A：???/Illya:
I'm calling you a dummy because you're a dummy!
E：First Lady/Chloe:
The way you're talking...
E：First Lady/Chloe:
Mila? Is that you!?
Are you one of the Echoes here?
A：Mila/Illya:
Yes, got a problem with that?
A：Mila/Illya:
It was only for a short while, but I was a magical girl. That's why I have the right to be here.
A：Mila/Illya:
And right now, you're the First Lady.
The first magical girl. Right?
Miyu:
It is her.
Miyu:
Mila? Are you the First Lady's special friend?
A：Mila/Illya:
That's right, Miyu.
A：Mila/Illya:
I am a former magical girl who was slain by the First Lady.
Ruby:
Wait, that means you were the first corrupted magical girl.
Sapphire:
Sister, be quiet.
A：Mila/Illya:
First Lady... You did your best as a magical girl.
A：Mila/Illya:
You gave everything you had to the world so that everyone could be happy.
A：Mila/Illya:
But the harder you worked, the more people's smiles disappeared.
A：Mila/Illya:
You were worn down by their greed and dissatisfaction, until you were crying even as you smiled.
A：Mila/Illya:
I didn't think that world was worth saving.
I chose you, not the world.
Mash:
Mila...
E：First Lady/Chloe:
Were you here the whole time, Mila?
And I just didn't notice?
A：Mila/Illya:
That's right. I'm just a shadowy Echo.
A：Mila/Illya:
Without borrowing Illya's body, I can't maintain my consciousness.
A：Mila/Illya:
But I always felt your presence, because this world is the manifestation of your regrets.
A：Mila/Illya:
That's why I always wished I could go beyond the black wall, so that I could bring peace to your heart.
Helena:
...!?
Helena:
Mila, you were the one who opened a Leyline outside the Reality Marble!
Helena:
It wasn't a coincidence that summoned Chloe to this world. Mila, it was your wish.
A：Mila/Illya:
I'm not aware of that, but... If I did, I apologize.
I caused you a lot of trouble.
Mash:
T-Then what about my sleepwalking at Chaldea?
Fujimaru 1:
That was probably Medb.
E：First Lady/Chloe:
Yes. That was her doing.
E：First Lady/Chloe:
For a very brief moment, Medb's power rivaled mine.
Fujimaru 2:
Was that the First Lady's doing too?
E：First Lady/Chloe:
No, that was Medb.
E：First Lady/Chloe:
Medb used her vast magical energy to open up a Leyline.
E：First Lady/Chloe:
I just tried to use that opened Leyline.
Mash:
I see.
E：First Lady/Chloe:
The pressure from the First Lady feels like it's about to disappear...
E：First Lady/Chloe:
At this rate, no matter how much I hold back, she's going to be pushed out.
Miyu:
Helena, how are you doing?
Helena:
I don't feel a change yet.
Helena:
But something's already happening in the Land of Dead Bookshelves. I can feel it through the jewel.
Helena:
The collapse is probably starting at the lands furthest from the First Lady's castle.
Mash:
So the Reality Marble can't sustain itself after all...
A：Mila/Illya:
Illya, Chloe, Miyu. I'm sorry for getting you caught up in the collapse of the Reality Marble.
Miyu:
There has to be something we can do...!
Miyu:
No, I don't care what happens to me.
But...
Helena:
First Lady, may I take over the Reality Marble from you?
Miyu:
The Reality Marble? Is that possible?
Helena:
Unfortunately, I'm serious.
Helena:
This world is needed as a place for wounded magical girls to go.
Helena:
It's not a nice way to say it, but it's the same way you need a soldier's home for wounded soldiers.
Helena:
No, forget that example. It makes me think a dangerous antibacterial magical girl might show up.
Helena:
Anyway. First Lady, in order to stop more girls from ending up like you...
Helena:
...would you let me start over with your first wish?
E：First Lady/Chloe:
...
E：First Lady/Chloe:
Helena. Magical Girl of Wisdom and Mystics.
E：First Lady/Chloe:
Yes. If that is your true wish, then... I will grant it!
Helena:
Thank you, First Lady. I'll do it right this time.
Sapphire:
The First Lady's magical energy is fading.
So is Mila's...
A：Mila/Illya:
Oh no... Mila's going to disappear.
A：Mila/Illya:
Listen, First Lady.
A：Mila/Illya:
You were abandoned and forgotten by the world.
And you feel terribly betrayed.
A：Mila/Illya:
Magical girls aren't witches.
And they aren't queens.
A：Mila/Illya:
They don't seek rewards for their miracles.
They don't use magic for themselves.
A：Mila/Illya:
They just put the feelings that well up in their hearts into spells, for people that they will never know.
A：Mila/Illya:
Otherwise, their impossible wishes become curses.
A：Mila/Illya:
Their emotions get trapped in the gaps between worlds and turn into purgatory.
E：First Lady/Chloe:
I still... And Mila, you...
A：Mila/Illya:
No, First Lady.
A：Mila/Illya:
You've cast enough spells. You cast them until your throat went hoarse.
A：Mila/Illya:
You read the book of magic all the way to the last page.
A：Mila/Illya:
It's true that new dangers and new enemies will never stop threatening the people.
A：Mila/Illya:
But even so... That's why new magical girls, like Illya, are born.
A：Mila/Illya:
They're still incomplete magical girls, and maybe you can't totally rely on them...
A：Mila/Illya:
But that's why, in their hands...
E：First Lady/Chloe:
...the future lies within them!
Mash:
A new jewel appeared in Helena's hand...
Chloe:
...
Illya:
...
Ruby:
Oh-ho? They're holding hands like lovers.
Ruby:
But now you're both back to normal.
Illya:
Y-Yeah. I'm fine. What about you, Chloe?
Chloe:
Ugh... where am I... who am I...?
Chloe:
I don't know... I can't remember any of the wicked things I've done... So you can't ask me to be responsible for them...
Chloe:
I think I forced Miyu to give me magical energy in a way that violated FCC standards, but it was consensual so that doesn't count.
Chloe:
And no one knows that I used the First Lady's power to make a world where I was the star...
Chloe:
...and lived a lovey-dovey life with my brother, but then I was accused by the ESRB army of justice, and I turned evil, and was defeated...
Chloe:
Anyway, a lot's happened, but well done, Illya!
That's my heroic magical girl! I believed in you!
Illya:
Whoa... I know it's not Chloe's fault, but I think she should be a little more repentant...
Sapphire:
In a sense, she has the same MG Power as Illya, that lets her never doubt herself. Her alignment's chaotic, though.
Ruby:
Chloe, that's why you can never be the main character.
Chloe:
Hey! This is where you're supposed to say, “It must've been so hard for you, but you're still lovely”!
Chloe:
I worked hard too!
Chloe:
Don't you understand that it was only my iron-clad self-control that kept the First Lady in check?
Miyu:
That's... true. Chloe and the First Lady had a very high compatibility.
Miyu:
It was only thanks to Chloe's strong mind that she was able to stop the First Lady from assimilating her completely.
Chloe:
Right? Right? My heart of justice isn't so bad, is it?♪
Chloe:
I like fun things, mischief, my brother, and also being mean to the weak.
Chloe:
But I hate sadness more than anything. That was the one thing the First Lady and I couldn't agree on.
Miyu:
(Yeah. I understand how the First Lady feels.
If she had possessed me...)
Miyu:
(I wouldn't have thought to hear someone out like that... She acts wicked, but Chloe had the same heart as Illya.)
Miyu:
(That's why it was Mila and Illya who saved her.
And also Chloe, who played with her...)
Chloe:
Am I imagining it, or is there a gentle look in Miyu's eyes? What? Do you see me in a new light or something?
Miyu:
Not at all. I'm going to be billing you for the psychological pain I suffered, Edelfelt-style.
Chloe:
That just means you want money!
You Edelfelts really are obsessed with money!
Sapphire:
That's only Luvia and Rin. Miyu has pure and proper ideas about finances.
Helena:
Done making up? Then let's finish this.
Helena:
I have the First Lady's jewel now.
If I use it for myself, nothing would change, but...
Helena:
If I make a world where wishes can circulate, instead of a closed world for just one person...
Illya:
I get it! So you just have to use the jewels for someone else's sake, huh?
Helena:
Yes, that's right. You pick this stuff up fast.
Ruby:
If you add in Nursery's and Medea's jewels, and the one from Mash, that's three of them!
Ruby:
The magical energy is flowing through them equally, and now we can go back to our old world!
Chloe:
Um... Does that mean we each take a jewel?
Chloe:
Illya uses one for Miyu, Miyu uses one for me, and I use one for Illya.
Chloe:
We all face the other person and wish that they'll be able to go home?
Miyu:
Is it that easy? That seems too easy...
Illya:
Don't think about it too hard!
Let's just focus on going home, Miyu!
Miyu:
Y-Yeah...
If you say so, Illya...
Fujimaru 1:
Helena. Are you staying here?
Mash:
You're going to take the First Lady's place, and serve as host to the magical girls who come here?
Helena:
Yes. I'll work to be the best I can.
Helena:
I'm sure I can find Medb and Nursery's Echoes as well.
Helena:
Also, Medea. If she'd stop being depressed and cheer up, she'd be good to have around.
Mini Edison:
Indeed. When you say you'll work at something, I know you're going to commit youself to it your whole life.
Mini Edison:
But this world is unstable.
It will probably fall apart eventually.
Helena:
Maybe. The end will come someday.
Helena:
And when it does, I'll go to some out-of-the-way world and live in a haunted house with the Echoes.
Mash:
That... Hehe. That sounds kind of fun.
Good luck.
Helena:
Of course, Mash Kyrielight.
Become a great magical girl, okay?
Mash:
I'm a Demi-Servant!
Illya:
Hahaha...
Illya:
Fujimaru, Mash.
Illya:
You are very nice people, so I was scared to bring it up, but...
Illya:
You've been fighting for your world for a long time now. And risking your life.
Illya:
I could tell from your conversation with Mr. Romani.
Mash:
...
Illya:
You have a far more important tasks than I do, but you saved me, Chloe, and Miyu anyway.
Illya:
That's not something you could do on a whim.
Look, Fujimaru is smiling like it's a joke again, though.
Illya:
You're suffering more than anyone, but you can still offer help to others. That's a miracle that no magic could create.
Illya:
Only someone like that can save the world.
Illya:
Come on, Chloe. You've got something to say too, right?
Chloe:
I'm sorry for causing you trouble,
Mash, Fujimaru.
Chloe:
You guys have it rough, but don't stress out too much.
Illya:
You could be more polite, Chloe!
Jeez...
Miyu:
Fujimaru. I'm really grateful.
Miyu:
I... I can't even imagine what kind of strong will you need to try and save the world.
Miyu:
But you did all this for us anyway.
I can really feel your warmth.
Miyu:
You can work so hard to fight for others...
I'm sure seeing you do that is what saves people.
Miyu:
I'm sure that that's what gave this world meaning. That's... what I think.
Fujimaru 1:
You're so mature, Miyu.
Miyu:
No, I'm a powerless child.
I can't do anything on my own.
Miyu:
I'm useless without Sapphire.
Helena:
I don't care if you're a child or a grown-up.
Helena:
If I was going to take a student, I'd choose Miyu.
Helena:
Those two probably can't even make a satisfactory cup of tea.
Illya & Chloe:
Aw...
Fujimaru 2:
You could probably be a little more selfish.
Mash:
That's right. It's not bad to say what you're really thinking.
Miyu:
I'm fine.
Now that I have Illya and Chloe with me.
Miyu:
Mash, do you ever ask Fujimaru for what you want?
Mash:
Huh? I-I...
Mash:
...I'll do my best...
Helena:
And it doesn't count if you rely on alcohol.
Mash:
R-Right...
Ruby:
Are you ready, everyone? We'll be going first.
Sapphire:
Farewell, Helena, Mash, Fujimaru.
Illya:
I don't even know how to thank you... Someday I'll pay you back for this. (Bowing)
Chloe:
That would be impossible, Illya. You can barely handle your own problems.
Chloe:
Like what underwear won't look embarrassing if our brother sees it, or what pudding you'll have for a snack.
Illya:
W-What!? I'm not like you, Chloe! Jeez!
Fujimaru 1:
You're fine as you are, Illya.
Illya:
Huh?
Mash:
Yes. Illya, please just stay who you are.
Illya:
That... that kind of hurts... (Sob)
Fujimaru 2:
We'll meet again someday.
Mash:
You're right. Actually...
Mash:
When Illya said I looked like someone from her family, it made me feel so happy it almost hurt...
Mash:
I wish I had a little sister like you, Illya...
Illya:
Mash...
Sapphire:
Forming limited dimensional reflection route!
Ruby:
Mirror World corridor at maximum deployment!☆ Initiating linkage search to normal world!☆
Ruby:
Alright, time to jump!
Ruby:
Look at the jewel and envision the coordinates of your original world, okay?
Illya:
Thank you, Helena—!
And Mash! And Fujimaru!
Illya:
Take care!
Dr. Roman:
And the sealing's complete. Whew.
Dr. Roman:
The Leyline between us and that Reality Marble has naturally dissipated. Now there's no way to know what is happening there.
Dr. Roman:
We can assume the danger of interference from a parallel world is gone.
Dr. Roman:
Unless there's any other extraordinary Mystic Codes like Ruby and Sapphire who force their way into our world...
Fujimaru 1:
We'll deal with that when it happens.
Dr. Roman:
Hahh... You're right. We can just be optimistic, and treat this as a learning experience for dealing with irregularities.
Mash:
It was a valuable experience for me too.
Mash:
We didn't spend as much time there as we did on our other missions, but it felt very long.
Dr. Roman:
I see... Anyway, I'm glad you're both safe.
Dr. Roman:
Now that things have settled, I wanted to ask you something...
Dr. Roman:
Who is... that?
Fujimaru 1:
Huh?
Mash:
Huh?
Chloe:
Hmm?
Chloe:
Oh, I ended up here.
Fujimaru 1:
Chloe!?
Chloe:
So this is Chaldea, huh? It's very modern.
A little empty-looking, though.
Mash:
Chloe... It's kind of weird that you're just accepting this situation...
Dr. Roman:
W-What's going on here!?
Chloe:
Hahaha. I'm a little surprised myself.
Chloe:
While I was listening to Fujimaru and Mash, you see...
Chloe:
I thought to myself that your missions at Chaldea sounded kind of fun.
Chloe:
And when I heard that I'd lose the chance to peek at what was going on here, I didn't want to miss it.
Chloe:
This might be a little trick played by the First Lady. Maybe it's her way of paying me back for the use of my body? Something like that?
Dr. Roman:
T-This is a trick that's gone too far.
Dr. Roman:
Can I assume you want to become a member of Chaldea?
Chloe:
Yes, I do. I'd love to.
Fujimaru 1:
Are you a Servant now? Or a magical girl?
Chloe:
Don't know. At least I don't think I'm a Heroic Spirit.
I'm actually not much of a magical girl, either.
Chloe:
I see... Maybe that's why I was the only one who was summoned...?
Fujimaru 2:
Gotta make a list of who you can't be around!
Mash:
You're worried about that!?
That makes me worried about you!
Chloe:
What are you talking about? Don't worry. I'll be fine.
I know there are all different types of Servants.
Chloe:
Anyway, I can tell that this facility's magical energy is keeping me alive. Wouldn't that make me a Magical Girl-Type Servant?
Dr. Roman:
Now there's another strange category...
I bet Da Vinci would love it, though...
Chloe:
He's holding his head with his hands...
I thought that only happens in manga.
Mash:
B-But Chloe? What about Illya and Miyu and the others?
Chloe:
Oh, that? Don't worry about that, Mash.
Chloe:
The other me made it back to my old world with them.
Chloe:
That's the one thing I know for sure.
Chloe:
Oh, right.
Chloe:
In Chaldea, Fujimaru is the only mage and Master, right?
Chloe:
So let me reintroduce myself to my official Master...
Chloe:
I am Chloe von Einzbern. I look forward to working with you, Master.
Chloe:
But you really don't have the aura of a “Master.”
How about “Fujimaru”?
Chloe:
Oh, right! Don't forget to replenish my magical energy!
Mash:
No, you can't!
Chloe:
No fair! You can't have Master all to yourself! Being greedy is the first step towards being a corrupted magical girl!
Mash:
T-That's not the issue.
Dr. Roman:
Oh boy. Looks like Fujimaru just got another headache to deal with...
The Land of Sweets EXTRA I
Illya:
Huh? Where are we...?
Ruby:
Oh-ho? I can feel it in the air, something story-irrelevant but ever so meta is coming!
Mash:
Now that you mention it, something feels really happy-go-lucky around here. Shall we ask Doctor to investigate, Master?
D：???:
That won't be necessary, woof!
D：???:
Sugar perks me up in the morning. For the brain.
But I can't find any good sugar.
D：???:
And then you crash into me. You, a combination of kindness, sweetness, and sexiness; sweeter than honey.
D：???:
Ah, it's like cat-nip to me! I'll take the pink cake!
Illya:
Wh-What is that!?
Ruby:
A wild WADARCO appears in a savage magical world!!
Like a Servant, but not like a Servant...?
Mash:
Is she... a magical girl, too?
Fujimaru 1:
It's just nameless small fry.
Fake Tamamo Cat:
What the meow do you mean by small fry, woof!?
Fake Tamamo Cat:
There's no fish called small fry here!
Big or small, the flavor is what matters, glug!
Illya:
I can't keep up with these ever-changing sentence endings anymore!
Fake Tamamo Cat:
I never back down, never grovel, and never look back! But I also never miss the bumper in front of me!
Fake Tamamo Cat:
Well, the Catmobile only has two pedals: accelerate and jump.
Fujimaru 2:
Just a stray Cat. I'd bet Doctor's soul on that.
Fake Tamamo Cat:
Good! No good!
Ohhhh, which is it? You are so smart!
Fake Tamamo Cat:
Either way, you need to retract that bet. Why? Who's that girl who's the talk of the Nine Tails industry?
Fake Tamamo Cat:
Who was cast in the role of “Genius Magical Girl” by the Tamamo Nine Conference? That's right... ME!
Fake Tamamo Cat:
Hm, what I'm really trying to say is...
Fake Tamamo Cat:
I am the most powerful magical girl in the family Felidae. Fake is in my name, but you can ignore it.
Fake Tamamo Cat:
It's like, you know, the discount tag on a fish package at a supermarket right before closing.
Mash:
(Stare)
Mash:
I'm getting an odd vibe from her. She's too consistent in her conversation to be the real Ms. Cat.
Illya:
W-what? Consistent? Really?
Fujimaru 1:
Let's try battling it.
Mash:
It feels that that would be the best option.
Fake Tamamo Cat:
What, meow? Even though I said I'd take carrot cake instead?
Fake Tamamo Cat:
Everyone talks about Tamamo, Tamamo, Tamamo! Why doesn't anyone accept Cat!? And new animations while you're at it, please!
--BATTLE--
Fake Tamamo Cat:
Ugh... Splendid! I feel like something the cat dragged in...
Fake Tamamo Cat:
Come to think of it, meow...
I don't get the concept of a magical girl...
Illya:
She turned into a stick and fell apart!?
Ruby:
It appears that stick was doing its best impression of her.
Ruby:
It was already breaking down, perhaps from the mental strain of that impression? Still, copying a humanoid form is impressive.
Ruby:
I want that skill too!☆
Illya:
I can definitely say for sure that nothing good will come of it!
Fujimaru 1:
A fake magical girl rather than a fake Servant?
Ruby:
It's possible, within this odd space!
Mash:
At any rate, I'm relieved to know she wasn't a real Servant.
Mash:
Aside from the fact that she was hostile towards us, we didn't really figure out anything.
Fujimaru 1:
That's more on her than on us...
Mash:
It would be nice to have an enemy we can communicate with... Is that a strange thing to ask?
Fujimaru 2:
She did look kinda like a magical girl.
Illya:
Yes. It did feel like she was bursting with dreams.
Just not hope.
Illya:
Besides, her voice sounded familiar to me for some reason...
Ruby:
Oops, that's a meta-statement disguised as foreshadowing! If only Chloe was here, it would've been even more confusing.
Ruby:
At any rate, I don't think that one was the last fake Servant...!
Illya:
We're going to run into more, huh...
Illya:
Wait a minute. Isn't this detour up to Fujimaru?
The Land of Sweets EXTRA II
Fake Astolfo:
Whoa, you actually came!
You guys look like monsters!
Fake Astolfo:
You have to deal with me now!
Alright, I'll strum you a song on my horn!
Illya:
She popped in pleasantly, but...
Why did she say “strum” to play a horn...?
Fake Astolfo:
Oh, just watch how I play it! (Rustling)
Mash:
You don't have to show off your brand-new Noble Phantasm right here! Do you hear me, Fake-stolfo!?
Fake Astolfo:
Uh, yeah, I do have to!
Fake Astolfo:
Since I've been summoned into the “Magical Girl” class, promoting toys is my most important duty!
Fake Astolfo:
I am the very model of a magical girl, you know?
Illya:
Y-Yes...you definitely are!
Although it annoys me to admit it...
Illya:
And you even have that boyishness going for you...
Altogether it's a little over the top...
Fujimaru 1:
Magical... girl?
Illya:
Oh, why are you looking at me like that?
Did I say something wrong?
Ruby:
Um, Illya?
Ruby:
If you dig too deep, you'll get yourself in an embarrassing situation. Boyish girls sometimes...
Illya:
(Gasp) I kind of get it now!
Fujimaru 2:
I completely agree. You're a perfect magical girl.
Mash:
Senpai. I think it's courageous of you to speak with such conviction, but please be prudent now.
Mash:
Illya's breathing became harsher. Any further and she'll descend into a place of madness!
Illya:
Boyish... Magical Girl...
Illya:
Th...th...those two concepts seem to be completely unrelated to each other, but I've come up with an idea!
Illya:
Speaking of a boyish girl, what do you think would happen if Gil transformed!?
Illya:
I might want to give it a try! Though it has really nothing to do with the situation right now... (heavy breathing)
Mash:
It's too late!
Fake Astolfo:
My name has an unnecessary “Fake” stuck to it, but I don't care!
Mash:
Um, anyway, can I ask one thing?
Especially of you, Ruby.
Ruby:
Sure sure, what is it?
Ruby:
Have you changed your mind about becoming the ultimate Captain Magical Girl with your charming shield moves?
Mash:
No. I couldn't leave Mr. Leonidas behind...
No, that's not what I wanted to ask.
Mash:
Does Fake-stolfo have any basis for calling himself a magical girl? Besides his usual “I just feel like it” thing.
Mash:
To be specific, it makes me wonder if my attacks will be effective in this Reality Marble!
Ruby:
Now that you mention it, I can feel strong MG Power from Fake-stolfo.
Ruby:
But I predict that you are strong enough to confront him in your current state, Mash!
Mash:
That statement slightly increases my complicated hopes and fears!
Fake Astolfo:
Hey, are you ready yet? Can I take a nap?
C'mon, let's do it... I'm tired of waiting... Zzz...
Illya:
Oh, I'm so sorry!
You already look so sleepy!
Mash:
I apologize, let's leave it at that. As long as I can be useful in the battle, I'll give it my best!
Fake Astolfo:
Really? Great! All right, I'll embrace you with my song!
The Land of Dragons and Sea EXTRA I
Fake Shuten-Douji:
Oh my, customers in an obscure place like this.
Fake Shuten-Douji:
I can still hear the regretful slosh from my little gourd, but... I suppose I have a job to do.
Fake Shuten-Douji:
Or, would you care to finish this with me?
Ruby:
Well if it isn't the headline act, oooh!
Illya:
Ruby is strangely excited again!
Fujimaru 1:
Yeah. Let's take a break.
Mash:
Master? Please don't casually pull out your own wine cup.
Mash:
We'd be playing right into Fake Shuten's hand.
Don't drink and fight.
Fake Shuten-Douji:
Oh, you'll come on a pleasure cruise with me?
...But you've got something scarier than a wine cup up your sleeve, don't you?
Fujimaru 2:
I can't believe it! Magical Douji...!
Ruby:
Fantastic! A concept that defies the laws of physics!
The most powerful synonym in the universe!
Illya:
Y-you should stop right there!
Fake Shuten-Douji:
Oh don't say that. Others have their rules, and I have my own.
Fake Shuten-Douji:
I don't think it's a good idea to shove any old thing up your sleeve...I should punish you for that, shouldn't I?
Ruby:
Her MG Power just skyrocketed!
She may be a fake, but she's still strong!
Illya:
Even before you mentioned it, her bloodlust was pretty obvious!
Illya:
And the smell of alcohol is starting to make me dizzy!
Illya:
I can't drink alcohol, so would you mind if I just fill your cup?
Fake Shuten-Douji:
Hehehe... Don't be so cold, have some fun with me...
Fake Shuten-Douji:
We'll get drunk and call each other's names, and soon you'll find yourself in heaven... or in my little gourd?
Fake Shuten-Douji:
Will you dissolve to the bone for me?
The Land of Dragons and Sea EXTRA II
Fake Ibaraki-Douji:
Heh... Heheh!
So you've finally come to me!
Fake Ibaraki-Douji:
Too long have I waited! I drown in monotony! My seat has twisted and my tiger skin loincloth has almost worn out!
Mash:
Oh. Even Ibaraki has become a fake Servant!?
Illya:
W-What a final boss-like aura she has!
Who is she!?
Fake Ibaraki-Douji:
(Pfft)
Fake Ibaraki-Douji:
Hah! Now, listen carefully!
Fake Ibaraki-Douji:
Born as an oni, so I meet my end;
Fake Ibaraki-Douji:
My life shall be a bloody path of thorns.
Fake Ibaraki-Douji:
A third-rate mage? Your arts I swallow whole,
To be reborn as embers in my palm.
Fake Ibaraki-Douji:
The madden'd roses bloom beneath my feet,
And crimson blossoms cover Kyoto's streets!!
Fake Ibaraki-Douji:
Magical Douji! I☆BARA☆KI has arrived!
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Illya:
I☆BARA☆KI...(gulp) What a powerful impact...
It's like graffiti drawn under a bridge.
Illya:
Did we make it to the final boss already? What should we do, Fujimaru!? I'm not ready yet!
Fujimaru 1:
Running wild. As expected from a Berserker.
Fake Ibaraki-Douji:
How could I put up this show of such pompous lines if I were in control!? Cower in fear, humans! (Sob)
Illya:
She's completely given up on herself!?
Fujimaru 2:
Wait, did she just say tiger skin loincloth?
Fake Ibaraki-Douji:
That!? That is the part that catches your attention?!
Fake Ibaraki-Douji:
Whether it is tiger skin or leopard skin, what does it matter what I, the oni leader, wrap around my crotch!
Mash:
W-What shall we do, Master? She is convincing! I'm starting to wonder if she's really a Fake Servant or not.
Ruby:
I think she's trying to express her fakeness through poetry?
Fake Ibaraki-Douji:
I-I am not doing this because I want to...
Shu... My boss insisted and...
Fake Ibaraki-Douji:
She said that both me and my loincloth need to tighten up, so I had better plan out a proper magical girl character beforehand...
Fake Ibaraki-Douji:
Therefore, I stayed up all night to work on it! I nearly bit through my tongue rehearsing that introduction...
Illya:
I-I see... You went through a lot. I understand.
We all have a hard time with our bosses.
Illya:
My red oni maste...I mean, my evil teacher is always super bossy too.
Ruby:
And it's always that boss who tends to be the one sidetracking things, you know.
Mash:
M-My Master is not like that...
Fake Ibaraki-Douji:
(Irritated)
Illya:
W-Well, I mean mine isn't always like that either.
I guess I over-exaggerated a little.
Illya:
She is sometimes nice... like five percent of the time... Hehe.
Fake Ibaraki-Douji:
(Super irritated)
Fake Ibaraki-Douji:
F-Fools! How dare you make fun of me in whispers!?
Fake Ibaraki-Douji:
Grrr, if you are not going to be serious, leave!
No, I'm leaving! I'm going back home to Mt. Ooe!
Mash:
M-Master?
Fujimaru 1:
Please, let me fight you!
Fujimaru 2:
What a coldblooded, fearsome banana oni!
Fake Ibaraki-Douji:
Hahahaha! That's more like it!
Fake Ibaraki-Douji:
Now, come! I shall eat you down to the very last bone!
The Land of Dead Bookshelves EXTRA I
Fake Okita:
Cough!! (Blood)
Ruby:
Coughing blood!?
Ruby:
Hey, who chose this tuberculosis patient!? It's repetitive! We just got her voice with Shuten!
Illya:
What are you on about!?
Fujimaru 1:
Fake Okita, you're a magical girl too?
Fake Okita:
I see. The real magical girls of this magical girl world?
Fake Okita:
Well, that is because I thought I could slice and dice... Never mind.
Fake Okita:
Even in a late-stage magical girl world like this, someone has to take a stand and save it.
Fake Okita:
And I have responded to the call.
Take a good look, world! I am the MIBU WOLF!
Fake Okita:
Which means I have awakened to the magical girl vibes, becoming First Unit Captain of the Magical Shinsengumi.
Ruby:
What? A Shinsengumi Magical Girl!?
That's so old, it's new!
Ruby:
It smells like a business opportunity for figurine sales. Ruby is getting excited now!
Illya:
You think so? Wasn't there someone like that in Bushido Musashi's side quest?
Mash:
What is this feeling...
Mash:
When Fake Okita and Ruby are facing each other like this...
Mash:
It feels like my EXP is going to go up a lot... (Gulp)
Mash:
But, oh? Fake Okita's shaking?
Fake Okita:
Yes. That's how it was supposed to be...
But what is this about!? A fake Servant!?
Fake Okita:
It's like a cheap version of a Shadow Servant (Shadvant for short)! This is not what I signed up for!
Fake Okita:
Fancy extra CG for my costume! New voices added! Where did they all go!? (Click)
Mash:
Fake Okita is in battou-jutsu stance!
She's serious!
Fujimaru 1:
Shall it be a duel, then?
Fake Okita:
I am sure that was your intent in the first place.
Illya:
Why does it always turn out like this!?
Fujimaru 2:
Magical girls fighting... What a sad world this is...
Mash:
Um, Master, you aren't very convincing if you're watching with those gleaming eyes.
Fake Okita:
I do not mind. I can tell your fighting spirit is more than sufficient.
Illya:
Magical girls fighting...
Wait, what about my say in this!?
Fake Okita:
In these turbulent times, it is luck that determines friend or foe. A cruel twist of fate, common in collab events...
Fake Okita:
Fake Okita Souji, someone completely unrelated to the First Unit Captain of the Shinsengumi! Here I come!
The Land of Dead Bookshelves EXTRA II
Fake Nobunaga:
It is me! Nobu! So you have finally come, you fat southern barbarians!
Fake Nobunaga:
What do you eat that makes you so fat,
you wicked four-eyes! Hurry up and tell me!
Mash:
Oh, um... Are you talking to me?
Fake Nobunaga:
What is it? You eat a pile of sugar candy for each meal? Or do you put grilled marshmallows in your tea?
Mash:
Um, please refrain from harassment.
I don't think my diet is that unbalanced.
Illya:
Agh, this is starting to drag on...
Illya:
Please stop, Fake Nobunaga! You're being manipulated by something too, right?
Fake Nobunaga:
I don't think I was talking to you?
Fake Nobunaga:
You 100% disappointing barbarian peasant!
How dare you address me!
Fake Nobunaga:
Return when you can destroy your enemies with an erotic pose like that plump southern barbarian there showing off her double melons!
Mash:
What are these melons you talk about!?
I am a Demi-Servant!
Illya:
Ugh. This defiant tone of voice. I feel like we're going to be hearing this all-too soon again.
Fake Nobunaga:
Fwahaha! Telling me, the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven to act like a magical girl! It's absurd!
Fake Nobunaga:
A performance like that I can do in my spare time while unifying a nation!
Ruby:
Kyaa! Nobeeeww!!
Thank you for coming! It means a lot!
Ruby:
Illya has been growing very STEADILY lately and is ready to welcome audiences from all different directions!
Ruby:
Keep your hopes up for this ultra grade school Magical Girl!
Illya:
What are you...!? You don't need to say that!
Who are you trying to go up against!?
Fake Nobunaga:
Hmph, are you trying to rub it in my face!?
Trying to brag, eh!?
Fake Nobunaga:
I've been a hot pit babe painted on a car before too!
Fake Nobunaga:
Although it was as a big-headed sprite without the slightest bit of sexiness...
Illya:
Oh, you were upset about that.
Illya:
Um, I'm sorry Ruby brought up some painful memories...
Fake Nobunaga:
I shall forgive you.
Fake Nobunaga:
However, this Three Line Formation may not!
Fake Nobunaga:
Anti-Army Noble Phantasm max release!
Nobu Fight!
Ruby:
Ohh, this is the one that was easily avoided by warping in the original, right?
Ruby:
It could be painful, but it may not have much effect against our Noble Phantasms?
Fake Nobunaga:
Arg! However! I have come prepared just in case that would happen!
Fake Nobunaga:
A new Noble Phantasm, a perfect blend of my loyal Monkey's knowledge and Shibata's courage!
Fake Nobunaga:
From a Nobu Reversal to a Nobu Attack! And I shall finish you with my Nobu Buster by throwing you off the cliffs of Okehazama!
Mash:
Um, doesn't appear there are any plans for a second Noble Phantasm like that.
Illya:
It doesn't sound like the history I studied either.
Fake Nobunaga:
Is that so? Well, that cannot be helped!
Fake Nobunaga:
Curses! This is not the time for the Kiyosu Conference, Monkey and Shibata! It's time for some reinforcements, please!
Fujimaru 1:
I'm glad it's the same GudaGuda.
Fujimaru 2:
Looking forward to the second event!
The Land of Snow and Honey EXTRA I
Fake Altera:
Magical girls are bad civilization. (Heheh)
Illya:
Oh wow... she looks so self-satisfied...
Mash:
Were you also summoned to this Reality Marble as a magical girl, f-fake Altera?
Fake Altera:
That is correct.
Fake Altera:
I am one of those who manifested in this Reality Marble as a magical girl who was unfulfilled.
Fake Altera:
But I stood out because I was too strong, and so I was ganged up on and defeated.
Illya:
I see... We need to put an end to this!
Fujimaru 1:
So you work for the First Lady?
Fake Altera:
I am aware of my subordination to her.
It is humiliating, but I will not deny it.
Fujimaru 2:
(Maybe it's her age?)
Fake Altera:
Did you say something? I couldn't hear it.
You seem to be having throat trouble.
Fake Altera:
Perhaps we should see how far I can ram my Photon Ray down it?
Fake Altera:
Humph. It's true that defeat and submission are humiliating.
Fake Altera:
But listen! I stand here by my own free will.
Fake Altera:
Magical girls are bad civilization.
They must be destroyed.
Fake Altera:
If you have any rivals in the same season, you must defeat them. When you're over 12, you're automatically fired.
Fake Altera:
Mid-season you are required to ride a bus or go to the pool. You work Saturday mornings for 10 years straight. No, that's fine.
Fake Altera:
Do you understand? A civilization filled with competition like that will someday collapse.
Fake Altera:
Now that my self-interest as a Servant has been shorn away and I've been reborn with the power of a stick.
Fake Altera:
It's no exaggeration to say that I have surpassed my title of Great King and become the God of War.
Fake Altera:
I am... Shin Altzilla. (Heheh)
Illya:
S-She made that face again.
She's got that self-satisfied look again.
Ruby:
It looks like all the fake Servants have some strange stats maxed out.
Illya:
I wish they'd been averaged out a little!
Mash:
Wait... Altera...
Mash:
Then, wouldn't it be disrespectful for us not to fight you?
Fake Altera:
That's right. You're so compassionate, Kyrielight.
Fake Altera:
But I will destroy. Thus, I will destroy.
I will destroy you with the utmost respect.
Mash:
What!?
Illya:
That doesn't follow at all!
I'm getting culture shock!
Fake Altera:
You'll just have to accept it. I was born this way.
It is my core, and even if I am fake, that won't change.
Fake Altera:
At the end of the endless wasteland, I shall find a burning life.
Fake Altera:
Innocent girl. Wielder of white magecraft...
Fake Altera:
I raise my sword of ruin to destroy you!
The Land of Snow and Honey EXTRA II
Fake Jack:
Hwah? Mommy?
Fake Jack:
No, I guess not. We are the Echo of a magical girl.
Fake Jack:
An Echo who disappeared without ever knowing a warm hug, without being called a magical girl.
Mash:
Even Jack the Ripper has turned into one of the First Lady's familiars...
Fake Jack:
Oh, are you my Mommy too?
Illya:
Um, me...!? Mom!?
Fake Jack:
Yup! A soft and squishy Mommy!
Ruby:
Illya... Sometimes you must exercise your maternal instincts in your noble role as a magical girl.
Ruby:
Now build up your courage...
Ruby:
Dashing around in a Merrrrrcedes Benz is definitely not a mother's role...
Illya:
There's something wrong with how you view girls!
That's got nothing to do with magical girls!
Illya:
And why did you roll your “r”s like that!?
Are you not allowed to just say the company name!?
Ruby:
That's right. I sometimes forget, but... There are rules in the world which supersede even magical girls...
Illya:
L-Life can be hard like that sometimes, huh?
Anyway, ignoring Ruby...
Illya:
Fake Jack, I'm sorry.
I'm not...
Illya:
And if only I'd gotten here sooner!
Fake Jack:
Why are you apologizing?
It was lots of fun!
Fake Jack:
Everyone here was us.
We killed, and were killed...
Fake Jack:
But Mommy looks sad.
Are you crying a little?
Fake Jack:
We're sorry we're not a good magical girl...
Fake Jack:
We need to kill even more, don't we?
Illya:
...
Fujimaru 1:
Illya, this is all an illusion.
Illya:
Y-Yeah.
Illya:
That's right. This is an illusion created by the First Lady's familiar...!
Mash:
Yes. It's a cunning trap.
Let's end this... for her sake, too.
Fujimaru 2:
Not at all. I've been waiting for this.
Ruby:
Don't tell anybody this, but Jack fought herself through to the last part of the magical girl auditions.
Illya:
Is that so?
Illya:
Hey, Ruby! And Fujimaru, too!
Don't talk about things that warp spacetime too much!
Ruby:
TAN☆GE! Congratulations on your new endeavor!
Fake Jack:
Okay, let's do this, Mommy!
Fake Jack:
We'll use our magic to rip you into nice, pretty pieces!
Magical Gentleman - The Encounter
Mash:
...Where are we?
This scenery looks familiar...
Fujimaru 1:
(Woo-hoo! The show goes on!)
Chloe:
What? Why are...why are we back?
Fou:
Fou?
Mash:
And Chloe and Fou are here too?
Fujimaru 1:
Um, I'm here too.
Mash:
Master, you look kind of happy, so you don't count!
Mash:
No, I'm sorry.
I'm just panicking.
Mash:
I was under the impression that traveling between this world and our own had become impossible.
Chloe:
That's what Romani said.
Is this another random Rayshift?
???:
LOLz! It's no coincidence!
Fujimaru 1:
That voice!
Fujimaru 2:
This dark and meme-ish aura...!
Mash:
It's Blackbeard!
Mash:
And for some reason he's wearing a miniskirt!?
Chloe:
The character portrait cuts off at the waist, but the muscled thighs peeking out of his miniskirt make quite the impact.
E：???:
And me! Look upon me, as well!
Phantom:
A ruffled petticoat! Clinging pure-white tights!
A perfectly coordinated outfit!
Fou:
Fo, fou...
Mash:
Wh-What are you two, with your, um... unusual outfits, doing here?
Blackbeard:
Bwahaha, well, you see... (Approaching)
You see...! (Thrust)
Blackbeard:
The pain!
Mash:
Oh, I'm sorry! I couldn't help it!
Your beard and skirt left too much of an impact.
Mash:
Anyway, you're a bad influence on Chloe, so please move further away!
Mash:
Otherwise, my shield will slice you thin!
Blackbeard:
Gnnuughhh! Your shield!?
...Wait, how do shields work again!?
Chloe:
Mash, you look like Liz, but you're closer to Sella personality-wise.
Chloe:
I'm fine. You don't need to be so sensitive.
Chloe:
There are some school nurses who don't wear underwear because “it's fashion, so it's not embarrassing.”
Chloe:
And it's kind of fun to see loser adults up close. Hehehe.
Blackbeard:
Chloe's kindness and her devilish smile are to die for!
Blackbeard:
But are you telling me the principles expressed through our wardrobe are incomprehensible?
Fujimaru 1:
What do you mean?
Fujimaru 2:
(I get it, but I'll keep quiet.)
Blackbeard:
We love magical girls every day of our lives, and worship them with all our hearts and souls!
Phantom:
Movies, merchandise, maidens' lovely voices in CDs!
But that's not enough!
Phantom:
We want to live with them, and become one with them... That's right! Together! To get HER!
Blackbeard:
Yes! We want to be with them as much as we can!
But there's no point in us becoming magical girls IRL!
Blackbeard:
And at last, SHE came, an answer to our ambivalent prayers!
Fujimaru 1:
“SHE”? Do you mean The First Lady?
Blackbeard:
Mwahah! I ain't tellin'!
Blackbeard:
I'm not letting a traitor like Fujimaru join us!
Mash:
The way you said “us” sounds like there are more than just the two of you.
Phantom:
Indeed! There are four of us in all! You might call us the Four Heavenly☆Magical Gentlemen of Magical Girl-philia!
Phantom:
Once we learned of this space between parallel worlds...
Phantom:
...this très bon☆psychedelic land, there was only one thing we could do!
Blackbeard:
Summon that ever-distant Magical Girl utopia!
Fujimaru 1:
I don't get it.
Chloe:
It sounds like someone's getting loose with the story writing.
Phantom:
That is why we desire...the truth that lies in the rifts of fiction!
Fujimaru 2:
Gotcha! Add me and to make it five!
Blackbeard:
You're not allowed, Fujimaru!
You think you can just join us like that smh...
Blackbeard:
I'm not benevolent enough to let in a traitor like you!
Blackbeard:
Oh, but we'd be more than happy to have Chloe! You could be an honorary magical girl advisor to the We Love Magical Girls Alliance!
Chloe:
That sounds fun, but I'll pass.
I don't like joining little cliques like that.
Mash:
You never did tell us your reasoning behind those outfits, but let's put that thought aside.
Mash:
Master, Chloe, have you noticed?
This world is somehow...
Chloe:
Yeah. It's changed a lot since we left.
Chloe:
The spatial connections and the presences of enemies lurking around are all surprisingly different.
Chloe:
And I don't see Helena anywhere, even though she stayed behind.
Chloe:
If this is a different Reality Marble, then Reality Marbles have become pretty cruddy.
Mash:
What should we do, Master?
Mash:
Is there any danger in letting this infestation spread?
Blackbeard:
Don't talk about us like we're insects!
Fujimaru 1:
I don't like that one bit.
Mash:
Neither do I.
Mash:
I don't want to question their hobbies, but...
Mash:
But we can't let them go out of control to the point where they threaten other worlds or Chaldea...
Fujimaru 2:
We can't let more magical girls suffer.
Chloe:
That might happen.
But Fujimaru...
Chloe:
I kind of agree with those old guys.
Blackbeard:
OMG Chloe! Are you a goddess?
Chloe:
Does it really matter? It's natural to want to be near cute things.
Chloe:
Right, Fou? (Squeeze)
Fou:
Kyuu...
Blackbeard & Phantom:
(Squee)
Chloe:
But... But even so...
Chloe:
This is my first mission... and you're going to pay for turning it into a stupid farce!
Chloe:
You'll suffer so much pain you'll wish you'd never been born! It'll be certain death for you!
Blackbeard:
It stopped being a farce the moment you said that!
Blackbeard:
Very well! Try and stop the Four Heavenly☆Magical Gentlemen! Many trials await you, maybe!
Blackbeard:
More specifically, the strongest warriors that we could find...
Chloe:
Caladbolg II.
Blackbeard:
OMG! This young tanned girl is dangerous!?
Sexy!? And fatal!?
Chloe:
Tch, missed...
Blackbeard:
Ooh, she's looking at us like we're bugs! Scary!
In the future she's gonna make one hell of a dominatrix!
Blackbeard:
But that's not what we want from you, Chloe...
Blackbeard:
We want you to be more like, um... all the little devil girls of the world turned into one...
Chloe:
Caladbolg III!
Blackbeard:
Whoa! Terrible! I'm very sad to say that there seems to be no room to negotiate... so retreat! Retreat!
Phantom:
Yes... No objections... No objections...
Mash:
Wait! Blackbeard! Phantom!
Mash:
At least change so it doesn't hurt to look at you!
Change before you retreat, please!
Fujimaru 1:
I guess we have to go after the Four Gentlemen?
Mash:
R-Roger!
Chloe:
Yes. I'm gonna get serious for the first time in a while!
White Masked Gentleman - The Destiny
Phantom:
To think you would follow me this far... You must know that I am made of death from head to toe!
Phantom:
But I will escape without making a sound.
Phantom:
I shall escape through the rift between truth and lies, the stage and the dressing room, and both sides of the world!
Phantom:
And everything I do is for you!
For you, my diva!
Chloe:
He makes even less sense than that beard guy.
I'm not sure who he means by “diva.”
Fujimaru 1:
Maybe he means a magical girl!?
Fou:
Foufoufou!
Mash:
I think Fou is saying, “That's exactly right.”
Fujimaru 2:
A singing magical girl... Sounds great.
Phantom:
Indeed. A whisper is a primitive spell. But the beautiful voice of a songbird, one that stirs the heart? Now that's something truly bewitching.
Phantom:
Songs are true magic. Songs are true magic. A beautiful singing voice raises a girl's magic to its highest potential.
Mash:
Actually, Master...
Mash:
I'm starting to think we have no reason to stop Phantom.
Mash:
It seems to me he is seriously thinking about magical girls. Don't you think?
Chloe:
I don't know about that. If being “serious” makes something okay, then most criminals are serious about what they do, too.
Fujimaru 1:
Then let's ask Phantom.
Chloe:
Let me ask you a question. What would you do with a little bird that stopped singing?
Phantom:
Wait for it to sing, whisper to it to help it sing, then kill it.
Mash:
Kill... What if it were a hummingbird that always had an unpleasant voice?
Phantom:
It should cut out its own tongue, jump into a furnace, and turn itself into grilled chicken. Or perhaps explode.
Fujimaru 1:
How about a robin with an angelic voice?
Phantom:
Ooh! That would be my Christine!
She must stay with me...
Phantom:
...in a tightly sealed room where the sun never shines, filled with stone and chains and leather!
Phantom:
Until the moment when she dies, and her love is filled with the flames of hatred and the desire to kill!
Mash:
D-Does that mean you'd lock her up regardless of her wishes?
Chloe:
That's totally selfish!
Chloe:
Looks like we should try to convince him with a song.
Fujimaru 1:
I'd rather sing along with someone.
Fou:
Foufooou!
Mash:
I-I'd like that too!
Fujimaru 2:
I can do a good chicken impression.
Chloe:
Hahaha. That's right.
Even birds that can't fly have the right to sing.
Phantom:
Nonsense. But entertaining nonetheless.
Phantom:
You've gotten my hopes up.
But will my ears judge your songs worthy?
Blackbeard Gentleman - The Treachery
Blackbeard:
Shiver me timbers, you seriously followed me all the way here? I'm impressed, Fujimaru.
Blackbeard:
Feel free to beat me and take my spot in the Four Heavenly☆Magical Gentlemen, if you want! Pew pew pew!
Mash:
Blackbeard, let us confirm one thing...
Mash:
You are one of the people behind this, are you not?
Mash:
We need to know the truth, so we can put an end to this.
Mash:
If you are plotting something that will make innocent girls cry, even I cannot defend you. Keep that in mind!
Blackbeard:
Oh, so nice. You're still trying to believe in me...
Blackbeard:
Mash is so wonderful... So radiant...
That stuff really turns me on...
Blackbeard:
Trying to defend trash like me... Are you the type of girl who can only love a loser?
Mash:
S-Stop messing around!
Chloe:
Wait, Mash.
Chloe:
Maybe this is his serious mode.
Mash:
Huh? Is it?
I-I'm sorry...
Blackbeard:
Ahah. You really are a goddess, Chloe.
And Mash is an angel.
Blackbeard:
But you're girls, too. It might be worth listening to what I have to say!
Blackbeard:
You see, once a man's got a treasure, he loses interest in it.
Blackbeard:
But you know, I hate to work hard!
I don't want a girl who's way out of my league!
Blackbeard:
I want somebody close yet just out of reach.
That's the type of treasure I want.
Fujimaru 1:
Is that your ideal magical girl...?
Blackbeard:
You'd think that, right!? But get real!
I'd never get anyone that way!
Blackbeard:
There's gotta be some indignity in there! Build up a sweet relationship, and then, BAM! Like a boss-pirate!
Blackbeard:
That's what makes for good entertainment, right!? Playing it safe is boring!
Chloe:
Yeah, I kind of understand, though I really don't want to.
Mash:
I-I want to confirm something, Master.
This exchange is a complete waste of time, isn't it?
Fujimaru 1:
Yup.
Mash:
Good to know!
Fou:
Fou.
Fujimaru 2:
He's just a pirate, a so-called perverted gentleman.
Chloe:
Fanboys have their own set of rules, but the pirate's way compels him to break the rules and take what he wants.
Blackbeard:
Yes! Let there be light in the heart of magical girls everywhere! Just like there's always indignity in my heart!
Fujimaru 1:
Okay. It's time for him to walk the plank.
Mash:
Right! Tie a cannonball to his legs!
Mash:
Once you've learned your lesson, come back to Chaldea!
Fujimaru 2:
Okay. It's time for him to be shark bait.
Chloe:
Sharks? I think even sharks have the right to choose what kind of food they want to eat.
Blackbeard:
Let's talk about sharks and stuff!
Mash:
Anyway, we're taking you back to Chaldea, Blackbeard!
Blackbeard:
No yo-ho-ing way! I'm not going back!
Blackbeard:
I'm an eternal teenager!
A captain sailing the seas of Neverland!
Blackbeard:
So have fun! Have lots and lots of fun, guys!
Blackbeard:
Soon, the greatest magical girl of all is about to weigh anchor and set sail! How's that for a flag?
Bluebeard Gentleman - The Memories
Gilles:
Oh... Jeanne!
Fujimaru 1:
Jeanne? Where!?
Mash:
Gilles de Rais? You're one of the Four Heavenly☆Magical Gentlemen?
Chloe:
This guy's appearance is even more shocking.
Especially surrounded by all that cute merchandise...
Chloe:
Wait a minute. Wasn't Gilles de Rais a marshal who fought with Jeanne d'Arc?
Chloe:
Why's he into magical girls? Shouldn't he be more into saints and witches and stuff?
Fujimaru 1:
You know what? You're right.
Gilles:
Magic isn't the only miracle. A girl who embodies the miracles of God is also in the category of magical girls.
Gilles:
A magical girl who wields sufficiently advanced technology as if it were magic.
Gilles:
A magical girl who took mere tricks and elevated them to the realm of real magic.
Gilles:
Is there a problem with such enchanting magical girls existing? No, they must exist!
Gilles:
When young Jeanne heard the voice of God and turned it into strength for our soldiers, she was truly a magical girl calling forth a divine intervention!
Gilles:
Oh... young, naive Jeanne. How I long to see you again...
Fujimaru 1:
Gotcha. Categorizing is important.
Mash:
That explanation convinced you?
Fujimaru 2:
Like how there are lots of different Riders.
Chloe:
That's right. When I heard a sailor like Blackbeard was a Rider, I was a little confused,
Chloe:
But that means you could have a Rider who rides trains or rockets too, right?
Mash:
But Gilles, you yourself are a Caster...
Fujimaru 1:
Were you the one controlling the stick familiars?
Gilles:
Absolutely not!
Gilles:
How could these filthy hands ever touch her magic stick?
Chloe:
He's probably talking about, you know, that person...
Fujimaru 2:
Blackbeard and Bluebeard. They've both got beards.
Chloe:
If you could get a Whitebeard, Redbeard, and Yellowbeard, you could have the Beard Olympics.
Gilles:
Oh! Who are you? Oh... Oooh, a bronze-skinned Jeanne!
Chloe:
Huh? Me? Who are you calling Jeanne?
Gilles:
Your gaze, your eyes, your noble nose, the stoutness in the way you move! It's all just like her!
Chloe:
O-Okay.
Gilles:
Oh, magical girl! Young saint of magic!
Gilles:
Come, come, come down to us, please!
Guide us with your holy pennant!
Mash:
Um, more importantly... Gilles, what are all these offerings? And this altar? It looks like it's for some ritual.
Gilles:
...Oh? What's this!?
Gilles:
JEANNE! The eggplant-colored Jeanne that looks good in glasses!
Mash:
Um, are you speaking about me now?
Gilles:
The cuticles of your holy hair, your lips speaking of compassion! Your huge breasts, filled with dreams of saving the country!
Mash:
I am a Demi-Servant!
Chloe:
W-Wait, don't you have any standards?
How many Jeannes are there?
Gilles:
Oooh! What fortune! Three Jeannes in a single day!
Fujimaru 1:
Huh? You don't mean me, do you?
Gilles:
Oooh... Jeanne! Fluffy, soft Jeanne!
Fou:
Fou!?
Gilles:
Your cute little ears! Your soft, bountiful hair that resembles a tail! You're the living image of Jeanne!
Fou:
Kyaau, fofoou!
Fujimaru 1:
Yeah... Let's get him, Fou.
Fujimaru 2:
Somehow I feel disappointed...and humiliated...
Fou:
Fou!!
Jade Gentleman - The Blood Tears
Diarmuid:
D-Don't come near me!
Diarmuid:
S-Stay back! Adult women, stay away from me!
Fujimaru 1:
Diarmuid?
Mash:
Diarmuid is one of the Four Heavenly☆Magical Gentlemen?!
Fujimaru 2:
What in the world?
Chloe:
What the... He's crying tears of blood!
Diarmuid:
Adult women... They're so strong-willed!
Diarmuid:
They're so cunning, and they don't show their true sides! They expect to be protected, yet they plot to dominate behind the scenes!
Diarmuid:
On the other hand, magical girls are physically strong. They don't complain about trivial things like their feet hurting from walking and so on!
Chloe:
That's not exactly true.
Diarmuid:
There are even structural differences in their hearts!
And I wouldn't be exaggerating if I said the color of their souls is different too...
Diarmuid:
Oh, the beauty of magical girls who have a sense of duty and battle dauntlessly! Ugh. In contrast, adult women...
Diarmuid:
One minute it's “My computer is broken, so fix it,” but before you know it, they start sulking because I'M the one with the bad attitude...
Diarmuid:
Just tell me which OS and what apps you were using, already!
Diarmuid:
Adult women are scary... Scary...
Mash:
Um...
Chloe:
Yikes. What a waste of a handsome face.
He's obviously out of his mind.
Chloe:
What on earth would make someone descend this far into misery?
Chloe:
But maybe the wounded puppy thing isn't so bad.
I just want to wrap my arms around him.
Fujimaru 1:
Chloe! It's a spell! Don't fall for it!
Chloe:
Huh!? Ugh... Arrrggh... This loser has an irresistible beauty spot!
Fujimaru 2:
Mash, does he have any effect on you?
Mash:
W-What's wrong, Master? I'm not going anywhere.
You don't have to hold my hand so suddenly.
Mash:
I-I'm not feeling any different...
Mash:
W-Well, I have to admit, my heartbeat has quickened a bit and my temperature has risen.
Chloe:
Okay, okay, that's enough!
But don't forget to stay on alert!
Fou:
Fou...
Diarmuid:
I know the reason for your visit here, Fujimaru.
Diarmuid:
However, please, go no further!
Diarmuid:
Only before magical girls am I treated as an equal, able once again to swear my loyalty.
Diarmuid:
As such, I see Blackbeard and Phantom as brothers, too!
Diarmuid:
I cannot attain magical girlhood, but I can fulfil my knightly duties and present them with a tiara.
Fujimaru 1:
Hold your head up higher, Lancer!
Chloe:
Um, is your head screwed in okay?
Chloe:
Compared to the other old guys, his extreme seriousness worries me a little.
Fujimaru 2:
Take better care of yourself, Lancer...
Mash:
G-Get well soon. I mean it.
Diarmuid:
Mash and that tanned maiden I haven't seen before...
Diarmuid:
I'm telling you this for your own good: never become an adult woman.
Chloe:
Wh-Whaaat? What kind of advice is that!?
Mash:
Not to mimic a certain iron nurse, but I also sense the necessity of medical treatment through heavy firepower!
Fujimaru 1:
All right, let's go!
Diarmuid:
There is no other path. I must humbly enter battle!
Testament Prologue
Chloe:
Well, now we've defeated the self-proclaimed Four Heavenly☆Magical Gentlemen! They certainly gave us enough trouble.
Chloe:
We still don't know what they were after...
Chloe:
But at least now this entire twisted world is finished, right!?
Chloe:
Let's go back...to Chaldea?
Fou:
Fou...?
Mash:
Something strange is happening! Again!
Fujimaru 1:
Is that our final destination?
Chloe:
How nice of them to make it so clear for us.
Trap, right?
Witness the Transformation
Chloe:
I need to ask...
Chloe:
Is there another perverted magical girl fanboy waiting for us? Like the leader of the Four Heavenly☆Magical Gentlemen?
Mash:
You mean the one that Four Heavenly☆Magical Gentlemen have referred to?
Mash:
What's that...?
Fujimaru 1:
Shadows forming a Prisma Cosmos-ish shape!?
D：???:
That's right, it's me. Do you demons dare stand in the way of magical girls?
Chloe:
D-Demons!? Us?
Fou:
Fouuu!?
Testament:
My name is Testament, like the sign of my holy covenant with those gentlemen!
Mash:
It's like how the First Lady took over Chloe...no, you look like Illya!
Fujimaru 1:
So Illya was the ideal magical girl?
Testament:
If that's what you think, then my form reflects it so.
Chloe:
I'm stunned. Instead of using my body this time, a form was created directly out of magical energy?
Fujimaru 2:
Like a knockoff of a knockoff?
Chloe:
Don't call me a knockoff! You don't have any issues with my Cosmos design, right?
Chloe:
Though I admit this is getting confusing.
Chloe:
But, well, I am a bit relieved.
Chloe:
I was afraid Mama was going to appear. “Prisma☆Iri has descended in all of her splendor!” she'd say.
Chloe:
Turns out I was worried for nothing.
Mash:
I imagine that would have been quite the psychological blow...
Fujimaru 1:
What's the purpose of the Four Gentlemen?
Testament:
Phantom, Gilles de Rais, Diarmuid, and Blackbeard.
Testament:
Through their mighty wishes and noble sacrifices, I was able to form into a genuine existence. Heehee.
Chloe:
You can't just say “a genuine existence” and laugh like that so casually!
Testament:
It's true. I am the crystallization of their thoughts.
An idol created by sad gentlemen.
Testament:
Just as a girl's feelings become a magical girl's driving force, the wishes of those gentlemen gave me life and let me soar.
Mash:
You're the crystallization of their thoughts? No, I don't think so. And it wasn't so much their wishes as it was their obsession.
Chloe:
True. And instead of noble, let's go with pathetic.
Chloe:
I know I'm one to talk, considering I was involved heavily in the first half of the event, but you're really warped.
Chloe:
How many times do I have to say that it's meaningless to change the world with magic based on sacrifices?
Chloe:
More than anything, it's annoying to hear those words come out of someone who looks like Illya. So knock it off.
Testament:
Heehee, you have a problem with sacrifices?
They were happy to offer themselves to me.
Testament:
I will give them everything.
But I am not going to repay them.
Testament:
If that's what they wanted, there are plenty of women in the real world.
Testament:
All they need is to be captivated by my dancing during the ending credits.
Testament:
Just loop a recycled transformation sequence until it's burned into their retinas.
Testament:
The more the wishes of men are full of gloom and a hopeless sense of inferiority, the more brilliantly my dream shines!
Chloe:
What!? You got nasty all of a sudden!
Fujimaru 1:
It's like a beautiful lotus growing in the mud.
Testament:
Yes, that's right.
Testament:
I may grant their wishes, but I will never mingle with them. That's who I am.
Fujimaru 2:
I won't allow you to belittle magical girl fans!
Testament:
Identifying yourself as a “fan” out of some silly pride is just embarrassing.
Testament:
You know what it is?
Testament:
In the world of magical girls, filthy men are worse than demons. They're worthless scum.
Testament:
And you know what else?
Testament:
Magical girls should only fall in love with each other♡
Chloe:
...Uh...
Fujimaru 1:
No good. She's rotten to the core.
Chloe:
Maybe she would've been better off borrowing Miyu's form.
Fujimaru 2:
What about cute pretty boy familiars?
Fou:
Kyuu?
Fou:
Fou, fo, fouuuu. Fou, fou.
Mash:
It seems Fou strongly objects to that remark.
Testament:
Heehee, but this is perfect.
Testament:
My tale has only just begun, so I'll leave you with a parting gift, demons!
Testament:
While gathering the wishes of men and turning them into despair, I'll leave them with minimum HP and inspire in them vain hope.
Testament:
So don't interfere with my journey of endlessly granting bittersweet heaven and hell!
Fujimaru 1:
...I swear she's pure evil.
Mash:
And I agree!
Fujimaru 2:
I don't like it when the DM brings a SO to play.
Fou:
Kyuu.
Testament:
Okay. That aside, it's hard to fight in this dress, so I'd better transform!
Chloe:
What!? I have a bad feeling about this!
Does she intend to use my body, too!?
Testament:
Heehee, that isn't necessary.
Testament:
I'll show you with this body what color suits a true magical girl!
Fujimaru 1:
You mean like 99% flesh-colored?
Chloe:
Morals! We're going into dangerous territory!
Chloe:
But if you insist, then by all means, show me! Show me the ideal magical girl's combat uniform and how she fights!
Fujimaru 2:
Maybe like her 2wei Herz beast scale figure?
Mash:
Master, please calm down! Isn't that the kind of bold, brazen wish that spawned her in the first place?
Chloe:
That's right! Although...
Chloe:
I'm not against that kind of thing myself, but there's a time and place for everything!
World End Match: Testament
Testament:
Ooohhh... Unghh...
Chloe:
Wh-What's wrong?
Did it really hurt that much?
Testament:
In the end...
Testament:
Of course no one could be the ideal and almighty magical girl for everybody!
Testament:
The very idea is ridiculous!
Testament:
A character that fulfills the requests of all gentlemen?
I'd be so bland I'd fade away into nothingness!
Chloe:
Now she's being brutally honest!
Mash:
Th-Then what about what we did?
Aren't you a victim now?
Testament:
No. This too is a result influenced by the wishes of those gentlemen... (Glance)
Testament:
Hiding one's goodness deep inside while being forced to do evil deeds is hot, right? It's kind of a staple, isn't it? (Glance)
Chloe:
Yeesh. This girl is beyond redemption.
Testament:
The power of the feelings from Blackbeard and the others is gone. It supported me well up to now. I must be grateful for that...
Fujimaru 1:
Testament...
Testament:
You are guests.
Testament:
You were summoned to this world both as spectators to a magical girl's exploits and as demons.
Testament:
When my influence disappears, the alterations to this Reality Marble will also be undone.
Testament:
This world will return to the peaceful resting place of magical girls, managed by Helena.
Testament:
When that happens, you will be shot out.
Testament:
But you'll be able to return safely to Chaldea.
So rest assured.
Mash:
Testament...
Testament:
...
Testament:
If there is a magical girl who has reached perfection, like one that they were seeking, I wonder who will understand her misery...
Testament:
Who will save that girl?
Testament:
Who will show magic to a magical girl...?
Chloe:
...
Mash:
...
Mash:
She was self-centered, but also a sad person.
Chloe:
You think so? I'm sure that was all calculated, too.
Chloe:
Although maybe that was better than leaving us with a parting shot like, “There will be a second and third magical girl waiting for you!”
Fujimaru 1:
Be it magic or miracles, there's always equivalent exchange.
Chloe:
That... may be right.
Chloe:
But hardship and effort with no reward is also the way of the world.
Chloe:
So no matter who becomes happy, I can't find it in myself to blame them.
Mash:
...?
Mash:
I can't tell if Chloe is pessimistic or optimistic.
...She's a mysterious girl.
Fujimaru 2:
(I see, now that's textbook savage.)
Mash:
Master? What was that smile for just now?
Chloe:
Yes, don't take any weird lessons from this.
Chloe:
It's wrong to try to bend other people to your will in the first place!
Mash:
It seems like we're out of time. This warped world is being restored to its natural state.
Chloe:
(Sigh)
Chloe:
I'm not crazy about the circumstances that brought us here, but I did have fun.
Chloe:
Next time take me on a proper mission, okay, Fujimaru?
Fujimaru 1:
Sure. That's a promise.
Chloe:
Good. That's my Master.
...Thank you.
Fujimaru 2:
I'd rather take Illya for sure...
Chloe:
Hey! Don't say your feelings out loud!
Mash:
Sometimes I can't tell whether Master is an enemy, ally, or rebel...
Mash:
It's a good thing to be honest with yourself, right?
As long as you don't forget to be considerate.
Mash:
Well, everyone, let's return to Chaldea.
You too, Fou.
Fou:
Fouuu!
