Like countless dreams being granted,
words without any sense of realness
A future form that resides in them
can be seen in your faintly gleaming eyes
When we passed by like it was coincidence back then
our encounter began, serving as some sort of delusion
Is fate laughing? I can hear it
Intersecting joy and pain
Grazed by the voice I heard that day
I held onto a two-faced strength
Now I'll unravel that unsolvable reason
and fly beyond the wish I arranged
It's hot.
Shana?
What?
Can't you cool the room with an Unrestricted Method or something?
I'm not an air conditioner.
Aww, you can't?
Man, it's hot...
Unrestricted Methods aren't as convenient as I thought...
Shut up, shut up, shut up!
I hate trivial little Unrestricted Methods like that!
Your pickiness has nothing to do with this, though...
"Reshuffle"
Ooh!
Nice and cool!
Going through all this piece by piece is going to take forever.
Consider it a part of your training.
Do not simply pick them up;
imbue the area with your power of existence as well.
Some things might react to it.
But... I don't know what to transfer power into or how much to give it...
Hope I don't find a Treasure that'll go boom if I give it too much power...
- Mm. It's possible.
- Huh?! - Mm. It's possible.
What is this? A telescope?
Hey, Shana.
Wh-What was that?
It can't be... It can't be...
It can't be!
Be quiet.
Shana?
What did you do, Yuji Sakai?
Oh? I-It's my fault after all?
Just tell us what you did.
What do you mean?
I just picked up a black telescope-looking tube
and looked through it, that's all.
Alastor?
Mm. A black, telescope-like tube...
The Reshuffler!
As you can see, it is a Treasure that switches
the minds of the looker and the lookee.
Shana and I... have switched?
But you need not worry.
Looking through it again should return you to normal.
Oh, in that case!
Hold on!
Watch where you're touching!
S-Stupid Yuji.
Y-You're the one who...
Wh-Wh-What were you looking at?!
I didn't look at anything!
Stop... Shana!
This is what you get for misbehaving with my body!
- You're the one who sent me flying!
- Shut up, shut up, shut up! - You're the one who sent me flying!
We can turn back if we look through it again, right?
If we search the area I was just at...
Oh no! You must hurry!
Others must not learn of your situation, especially the Flame Hazes!
Wh-Why, is this bad?
What do you mean, Alastor?
- Just hurry!
- Hey! We brought ice cream! - Just hurry!
Man, it's dark in here.
We brought a bunch just like Shana-chan asked, too.
Did she leave or something?
Hey!
Wh-What do we do, Shana?!
Don't act weak like that!
But...
- Get the Night Cape.
- Huh? - Get the Night Cape.
Put everything near where you were sitting inside it
so we can look through it elsewhere.
All right, Alastor?
Mm...
Mm.
Heighten your feelings in an explosive manner and release the power you want.
Visualize the look and strength of a flame-haired, burning-eyed slayer
and use the power that wells up inside you to manifest it.
C'mon, where are you?
The ice cream's gonna melt.
H-How much should I take in?
That's enough. They're coming.
Oh, here they are.
What are you guys doing?!
Geez, you could've at least responded, Sakai!
S-Sorry! I couldn't hear you!
Oh, no, I was talking to Sakai...
Oh, that's what Yuji said. R-Right, Yuji?
Y-Yeah. I said that.
Is something wrong with you guys?
No, nothing at all!
I'm Yuji Sakai!
Really, nothing's wrong!
Shut up, shut up, shut up!
Quit talking that way. It's wretched.
You're the one who laughed like a weirdo.
You always laugh like this, Yuji!
Is that how you see me?!
Hey. What the heck's going on?
Umm, Alastor-san?
Oh, I just remembered some urgent business.
Let's leave, you two.
Yes, we should go quickly!
Sato! Tanaka! See ya!
Goodbye!
- "See..."
- "See ya"? - "See..."
S-Stop acting like that! ...Man!
It ain't my... I can't help it! I'm not used to this!
Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
- Be careful, will you?!
- What's keeping Margery-san? - Be careful, will you?!
They took all the ice cream...
In any case, we need to change back quickly.
We need a place where we can rummage through the items...
- Why not use a Seal?
- No. - Why not use a Seal?
The power of existence will attract Wilhelmina and Chanter of Elegies.
A somewhat spacious room where no one will bother us...
How about a karaoke room?
"Karaoke Village"
Karaoke?
We can get a big private room where no one will bother us.
Best of all, it has air conditioning!
Oh!
If it isn't the little brat and the boy.
Chanter of Elegies!
What are you doing in a place like this?
U-Umm, err...
Oh, uhh... I-It's none of your business, Chanter of Elegies...
You're as uncute as ever, I see.
Doubt she wants to get called cute by a drunk
who gets wasted here in the middle of the day, though!
Shut up, stupid Marco!
Anyway, your underlings should be waiting for you at the Hunter's lair.
Yeah, no problem! I know!
I'll head on over once I finish this!
Hey, now! Where are you guys goin'?
The treasure hunt can't be over yet!
Something's come up. Bye.
What's with them?
- I'll have another please!
- Huh? - I'll have another please!
Hey!
Of all the times people have to get in the way...
Sheesh. Why'd this have to happen?
Sorry...
Stop looking so miserable.
Mm! That ice cream was good!
Man, you're carefree.
You ate it already? There was so much of it, too...
Just figure out a place we can go.
A somewhat spacious place where we won't be disturbed
and with no people around...
A place that's deserted on Sundays...
That's it! That's just the place!
The school was a good idea.
Yeah, no one comes here on Sundays.
Oh, Shana-chan! Sakai-kun!
I-Ike? Yoshida-san?!
Hello, Sakai-kun. You too, Shana-chan.
Whew, what a relief!
I thought I was the only guy here!
It's a home game, yet almost no one else from our class has showed up,
so we were just wondering what to do.
Umm, remind me, what's going on today?
Oga-chan's volleyball match.
She asked us to come cheer her on, remember?
Oh...
Let's really cheer her on, Sakai-kun!
I-I guess...
This is great!
Everyone's going to be so excited when they hear you came, Shana-chan!
- C'mon! Let's hurry to the gym! - U-Umm, uhh...
Sorry. We'll be there later.
Hey, you don't think they're going to the classroom, do you?
Run faster, Yuji!
I-I know!
So Shana always runs so fast with such a small stride?
S-Sakai-kun!
What's going on?!
No looking, Yuji!
Hold on, Sakai-kun! Why are you covering her eyes?!
Sorry! Sorry!
Well, that was a disaster...
"The school will be empty," my eye.
We ran into acquaintances everywhere we went.
You agreed with the idea right away, Shana.
I guess your room is our best option.
- Let's hurry.
- Yeah. - Let's hurry.
Man...
Skirts are nice and cool and all, but panties are so unpleasantly tight...
Hey, Shana.
We've run into so many people we know
that we won't run into anymore now... right?
I don't know.
Wilhelmina said she was going to start investigating the city, but...
Should we encounter her, she must not learn of this situation.
No matter what.
Does the Reshuffler have a secret that's that important to hide?
What is it, Yu...?
Grr.
Were you not going to search for Treasures today at the Hunter's hideout?
Early departure suspicious.
W-Well...
I am not asking you, indeed.
Oh, I promise you, we aren't slacking off...
Watch how you talk, idiot!
Idiot?
Improper manners.
Oh, we have pressing matters to attend to!
Let us go, you two!
R-Right! Okay!
See you later, Wilhelmina!
Oh no! I was so flustered that my reflexes took over!
- Gas explosions?!
- Is someone popping balloons? - Gas explosions?!
That's not a gun, I hope!
A double strike... It had enough strength to send me flying, too.
We don't have the time for this.
Why does Wilhelmina have to be so obstinate and competitive?!
Improved defenses.
No, this is on a different level altogether, indeed.
Another possibility is that...
Are you really the Mystes, indeed?
Wh-What are you talking about?
I love you, Wilhelmina!
Wh-Wha?
Run for it!
Wh-Why did you say that, Yuji?!
It's not like it was a lie! Besides, it worked!
Well... That's true... It's not a lie, but...
Bold... declaration...
"Sakai"
F-Finally home...
No dawdling! Hurry to your room!
Th-That's easy for you to say...
I-I get tired fast in this body...
You get exhausted easily
because you still can't use the power of existence properly.
I'm home.
What's the deal?
There's no rush now that we're here...
What are you doing?! Hurry up!
O-Okay...
She definitely wobbled just now.
Does that Treasure have some sort of side effect?
If so...
Oh, welcome back!
Weren't you supposed to come home late?
Things ended prematurely.
Oh, Shana-chan. You're dripping with sweat.
Go on and take a bath!
Oh, no, I don't have the time for...
Umm, I don't think I can today...
Hurry!
Shana! Why do you look so pale?!
Does it take a toll on our bodies if we don't revert right away?!
Why didn't you say something sooner, Alastor?!
Err, well...
So the Reshuffler has side effects not even Alastor knows about.
If a Flame Haze uses it instead of a Denizen
it causes damage, and, in the worst case...
Alastor!
We'll go back to normal if we use that Treasure again, right?!
M-Mm.
Hang in there, Shana! I'll look for it now!
Come out!
You fool!
Right now, I'm in control of Yuji's body...
Yu-chan! Shana-chan!
What was that sound just now?
I'm so stupid!
There's no meaning if we don't do it together!
Hey, what's going on?
Seal!
Yuji. Yuji, wake up!
What's going on?
Shana! Are you all right?!
Mm. It's not as bad now.
Huh?
Anyway, hurry and put this away. There's no room to move.
O-Oh. Right.
Is this it?
Well done, Shana!
We have to turn back right away!
Mm. Prepare yourself.
Huh?
Are you back?
Yeah, I'm back.
Hey, Shana! What is this?!
I'd hurry if I were you.
You could've mentioned that sooner!
Move, Mom!
Was it all that ice cream?
Mm. Yuji's body really is weak.
His stomach can't even handle a couple dozen ice pops.
Honestly, now! Don't worry me like that!
Sorry.
You can tell me now, right?
Why was it dangerous for anyone to learn
that this had switched our bodies?
I don't really want to use it, but it could be a useful weapon sometime.
But if the Hunter didn't use it,
there must be more to it we don't know about, huh?
If I tell you, you must promise to destroy it.
Mm.
I will say this only once.
This item only works when both minds are free of barriers.
We cannot afford to let others know that you two are that intimate.
Naturally, I don't wish to speak of it, either.
We especially cannot tell this to Wilhelmina Carmel.
Nor to her friend, Chanter of Elegies, or her subordinates.
Oh, but... it's not like that.
Save the excuses.
It has tangibly manifested itself; it is an undeniable fact.
...As reluctant as I am to admit it.
No! It's not like that, Alastor!
You've left the Seal up.
Save your excuses for the Missus.
Oh, my.
What happened here?
Just a little argument.
What could've caused an argument like this?
Did Yu-chan do something bad? Or did you, maybe?
Yuji.
It was all Yuji's fault.
We held on to feelings we couldn't give up
Even so, we've walked this far
It's like we haven't made any progress, and have only slightly touched
a wish carried by the waves of time
Visiting distant memories
I feel like things shine with, "This wasn't how it was"
After getting through that bright day
we're here now
In this place where endings and beginnings don't exist
I am sure we will now
walk again and discover a new dream
