It is as though they're granting many dreams,
musuu no yume kanaeteru you na
these words that don't exist in reality.
genjitsu ni nado nai kotoba
The shape of the future that resides there,
soko ni yadoru mirai no katachi
in sight of faintly glittering eyes.
kasuka ni kagayaita hitomi ni
We've walked down these coincidence-like disjoined days.
guuzen mitai ni surechigau hibi datotta
As new meetings give birth to feelings of wanting to mislead something,
deai ga hajimaru nanika wo madowasu kigen
I can hear destiny laughing,
unmei ga waratteiruno kikoeru
Intersecting joy and pain.
kousasuru kietsu to itami
I whisper to the voice that told me one day,
ano hi tsugerareta koe ni kasumeru
while carrying the two facets of strength,
hyouri no tsuyosa wo kakaeta
"I can't solve it now."
ima wa (ima wa) tokenai
"I've only just unraveled the circumstances."
wake wo (wake wo) himotoita
I'm going to fly towards the future borne from this empty wish.
kareta negai no sono saki he habataku
So hot...
Shana!
What?
Don't you have an Unrestricted Spell or something to make the room cooler?
I'm not an air conditioner.
So you can't do it...
So hot...
Unrestricted Spells are surprisingly useless...
Shut up, shut up, shut up!!
I hate petty Unrestricted Spells like that!
I don't really think it's an issue of "like" or "dislike" though...
Reshuffle
Nice and cold!
If we check them one by one,
it just eats up time, huh.
Think of this as a form of training.
Instead of just holding things in your hands, try to diffuse your Power of Existence around you.
The response will vary depending on the item.
But...
How much power do I focus into each one?
It's hard to tell.
Just imagine if there was a Hougu that goes "BOOM" when you put too much into it.
Yeah. There just might be.
I guess this is a telescope?
Hey, Shana...
Wha...?
Don't tell me...
Don't tell me.
Don't tell me!
Be quiet.
Shana...
What did you do, Sakai Yuuji?
So, it really was my fault?
Whatever, just tell us what you did.
"What I did"...
Just now, I picked up this black cylinder that looked like a telescope.
All I did was look through it...
Alastor?
A black cylinder that looks like a telescope...
It must be Reshuffle!
As you can see, this Hougu exchanges the consciousnesses of the one who looks through it and the one who is seen.
So Shana and I...
However, it's nothing to worry about.
If you look through it once more, you should return to normal.
Is that all? If that's the case-
Hold it right there!
Just where was that hand going?
Stupid Yuuji...
You can say that all you want, but you were the one who...
Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-What! What were you looking at?!
I didn't see anything! Nothing at all!
Cut it out! Shana!
I'm doing it because you're making me look weird!
You're the one who pushed me over!
Shut up, shut up, shut up!
If... If we look through it again, we can return to normal, right?
If we just search where I was a second ago...
You mustn't!
We must hurry! We absolutely cannot allow others, especially Flame Hazes, to know of this situation!
Is... Is there something wrong?
What do you mean, Alastor?
In any case, hur-
Hey! I bought some ice cream.
Huh? It's pretty dark in here.
We even made it a rush trip just like Shana-chan wanted.
Did they go back?
Hey!
What... What do we do, Shana?
Don't sound like a weakling with my face!
But...
Bring out Yogasa.
Put in everything from the area you were sitting at earlier, and we'll look for it somewhere else.
Will that be fine, Alastor?
Indeed.
You'll need to raise your emotions as high as they'll go in order to draw out the power you want.
Image the appearance and strength of the Flame-Haired Blazing-Eyed Hunter, and express it through the power which flows in your body.
Hey, where did you guys go?
The ice cream's going to melt!
How... How much should I store?
That's enough.
They're coming.
Found 'em.
What're you doin'?
Sheesh. At least answer us, Sakai!
S-Sorry, we didn't hear you...
Oh, no, I was talking to Sakai you see...
...is what Yuuji was saying earlier.
R-Right, Yuuji?
R-Right. That's what I said.
Did something happen with you two?
No, nothing in particular.
I'm Sakai Yuuji.
Really! It's nothing!
Shut up, shut up, shut up!
Why are you talking so half-heartedly?
What about you, laughing like that...
You always laugh like that!
You've gotta be stupid to hear it like that!
Hey... what on Earth happened?
Uh... Alastor-san?
Well, I've just remembered some... important business.
We're going back, you two.
That's right, we must hurry back soon!
See you soon, Satou-and-Tanaka!
And that's how it is!
See you...?
What the he... heck are you doing?
I can't help it, it's none... I'm not used to it!
Shut up, shut up, shut up!
Try to be a bit more careful!
I wonder if Margery-san is done yet.
He took all of the ice cream!
Anyway, we need to get back to normal, and fast.
Isn't there a place-
we can spread out all the tools?
Can't we put up a Fuzetsu?
No!
Monitoring power of existence, Wilhelmina and the Interpreter of Condolence will come flying.
A place without interruptions... and it has to be fairly spacious...
How about a karaoke room?
Karaoke?
If we go there, we can use the party room, and nobody will bother us.
Most important of all, it's air conditioned!
Well, well!
If it isn't the chicklet and the little boy!
The Interpreter of Condolence...!
What're you doing in a place like this?
U-Um, y-you see...
It's g-got...
It's got nothing to do with the Interpreter of Condolence.
Uncute as always.
I bet she doesn't want to be called "cute" by someone who's drinking in a place like this in the middle of the day!
Silence, stupid Marco.
Anyway, aren't your underlings waiting for you at the Hunter's nest?
Aw, it's fine. I know already!
If I just drink this much, I can go back real soon!
Hey hey! Where're you guys goin'?
You ain't done with your treasure hunt, are ya?
We have urgent business to take care of.
Well then.
What's with them?
'Scuse me!
Refill please!
Eh?
Hey!
It seems that people only like to interfere during crises like these.
Honestly, why does this have to happen...
Sorry...
Don't get all gloomy with my face.
The ice cream was great.
Well aren't you laid-back.
You ate it all already?
There was so much.
Just think of a place already!
It has to be fairly spacious, with no interruptions, and no people around...
A place where nobody goes on a Sunday...
That's it!
I forgot about that place!
Going to the school was a good idea.
And nobody's here on a Sunday.
Shana-chan! Sakai-kun!
I-Ike! Yoshida-san!
Hello, Sakai-kun. Shana-chan, too.
Thank god. I thought I was going to be the only guy here.
Our class is on duty, but they never come...
We were just talking about what we should do.
Um... What was going on today...?
Oga-chan's volleyball match.
I even asked if you could come cheer!
Let's cheer hard, Sakai-kun.
Right...
It's such a relief!
When they hear that Shana-chan is here, everyone will be fired up!
Um, I really can't...
Come on. Let's get to the gym.
Sorry.
We'll go later on.
Hey... they aren't going to the classroom, right...?
Run faster, Yuuji!
I... I know already!
Shana...
Your gait is so small, but you always run so fast...
S-Sakai-kun?
What's wrong?
Yuuji! Don't look!
Hold on, Sakai-kun! What's the point of covering Shana-chan's eyes?!
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
What a mess.
Didn't you say nobody would be at school?
Everywhere we went, there were people we knew!
But you agreed right away as well!
At this point, going back to your room seems to be our best option.
Let's hurry.
Yeah.
But still...
Skirts keep things cool, so that's fine...
But these panties are an uncomfortably close fit...
Hey, Shana...
Since we've already seen so many people we know, there's no way we'll run into any more, right?
I don't know.
Wilhelmina said she was going into town to check up on things.
Even if we should run into her, she must absolutely not learn of the situation.
Absolutely not.
Is there really such a secret hidden in Reshuffle that we have to go this far to hide it?
What's wrong? Yu-
Hmm.
I believe... you were intending to perform a search of the Hunter's hideaway today.
Suspicion of departure.
W-Well, that's...
I am not speaking to you ~de arimasu.
Oh, we're not exactly skipping out you see...
Idiot, watch the way you talk!
"Idiot"?
Speech warning.
Ah, we're in something of a hurry here, so...
Let's be on our way, you two.
Right, got it.
Well, see you, Wilhelmina.
Crap! I panicked, and by reflex...
Is someone popping balloons?
It wasn't a gun or anything though, right?
Two successive attacks... this time she meant to blow me off my feet.
We don't have time to waste here...
Why is Wilhelmina such a stubborn sore loser?
Defensive advancement.
If that's truly what it is, it's a remarkable difference.
Or perhaps this is...
Are you truly that Mystes?
What... What are you talking... about?
Wilhelmina!
I love you!
Wha... Wha-
Let's run!
What did you say that for, Yuuji?!
I wasn't lying, right?
It was effective, too.
Well sure, it wasn't a lie...
Daring statement...
F-Finally back...
Don't just stand there!
Let's go up to the room!
You can say that all you want...
but hurrying around in this body is so tiring...
If you're tired already, it's because you can't use your Power of Existence properly.
We're back.
What's with her?
We're already here, so it's not like we need to keep rushing around...
What are you doing?! Hurry up!
Oh, okay...
Just now, I'm sure she wobbled on her feet.
Don't tell me there was some sort of protective measure on that Hougu?
If there was...
Oh, welcome home.
Weren't you going to be back late?
Our schedule got stepped up.
My, Shana-chan, you're covered in sweat.
Go take a bath.
Uh, I don't really have the time...
Um, today might be a bad idea...
Hurry up!
Shana! What's wrong? You look awful!
Is there some kind of burden on the body because we didn't change back fast enough?
Why didn't you tell me, Alastor?!
Well, actually...
Reshuffle had some sort of protection that Alastor didn't know about!
When used by a Flame Haze instead of a Tomogara, the body incurs damage...
In the worst case scenario...
Alastor!
If we use that Hougu again, we can return to normal, right?
Th-That's right!
Wait right there, Shana!
I'll find it right now.
Come forth!
Idiot!
Right now, Yuuji's body will move however I want it to.
Yuu-chan? Shana-chan?
What was that noise just now?
I'm such an idiot!
There's no point unless we're ourselves!
Hey, what happened?
Fuzetsu!
Yuuji! Get up, Yuuji!
What... happened...?
...Shana! Are you okay?
Yeah. It calmed down for the time being.
Anyway, put all this away. I can hardly move.
Oh yeah. Sure.
Here.
Well done, Shana!
We have to turn back, quick!
Yeah. Prepare yourself, okay?
Huh?
We're back.
Yeah.
We're back.
Hey... Shana... is this...?
You should go quick.
If that's how it was, say so sooner-
Out of the way, mom!
It wasn't that "ice cream", was it?
Yeah. Yuuji's body is pretty weak after all.
His stomach started to roll around after just twenty or thirty of them.
Really, you worried us.
Sorry.
You can tell me now, right?
Why was it dangerous for others to know that we'd swapped bodies?
I don't want to use it too often, but couldn't we use it as a weapon?
Ah, but since the Hunter didn't use it there must be something to the switch.
Promise me you'll destroy it once I've told you.
Sure.
I'll only say it once.
If there is a wall between the hearts of the users, it will have no effect.
We cannot afford to reveal your relationship to outsiders.
Naturally, I have no personal desire to even speak of it.
Furthermore, we can never tell Wilhelmina Carmel.
Nor can we let it slip to that loose-lipped Interpreter of Condolence or her lackies.
But that's different...
I won't listen to excuses.
After all, the phenomenon took place, therefore it must be true.
Though there may be more than a little resistance towards admitting it.
No, you're wrong, Alastor!
The Fuzetsu is still up!
If you want to make excuses, you can make them to the lady of the house.
My, this is quite...
What happened?
We just had a fight.
Why would you fight until the room looked like this?
Did Yuu-chan do something bad?
Or did you...?
Yuuji.
Everything is Yuuji's fault.
I've been carrying these feelings which haven't faded.

But even so, I've walked this far.

It seems we haven't advanced on the wave of time,

but we've just barely touched the wish that it brought.

Traveling distant memories, knowing that it wasn't this way,

overcoming that brilliant day I felt to be shining.

Is this the beginning or the end?

In this place that is nowhere at all,

we'll keep walking, on and on.

I'm sure we'll find a new dream.
