One day soon after his second semester began, Yuji experienced dÃ©jÃ vu.
It was a dream created by a small Tomogara.
When Yuji caught on to that fact, Shana appeared and sliced the Tomogara in half, however...
There. This should do it.
I'm sorry I came by so suddenly, Chigusa.
I can teach you how to make a bento anytime.
Did something happen? Your face says there's something urgent.
Sakai-kun, will you eat this?
It's good!
Yoshida-san, you really are a good cook.
I just didn't like it.
I don't know why, but I didn't like Yuji eating the bento.
Would you get the eggs out of the fridge?
Yeah.
But...
To be honest, we shouldn't be bothering you with cooking, but...
That's enough!
You go with Yuji to his training!
I should be the one to...
Go!
Shana-chan, I don't mind teaching you,
but shouldn't you ask Carmel-san?
Wouldn't Carmel-san be happy?
Wilhelmina can't cook at all, so that's impossible.
That can't be true. I'm sure Carmel-san has her master dish.
Ones you heat up in the microwave or pour hot water into.
And raw.
But I don't think those count as bentos.
Do I break it into this?
Yes, that's right.
Give me a second!
Sakai Yuji, dodge the attacks before you open your mouth.
Feel the flow of the power of existence.
Don't say that so easily.
Why does she need to practice cooking?
She's a pure Flame Haze.
And she picked Madam as her instructor, not me.
I give up.
But...
Manipulator of Objects, you haven't forgotten this is training, have you?
Requires allowances.
You're fine, aren't you, Sakai Yuji?
What happened, Manipulator of Objects?
Even if it's to train this Mystes, you went too far.
I was contemplating a little.
Rather than that, what was that power?
You must be really addled to only now notice.
The amount of power of existence Sakai Yuji carries is significantly greater than what he used to carry.
Seirei-den.
Could he have...
By synchronizing with Master Throne Hecate, Mystes Sakai Yuji became part of the fountain of existence.
Her existence is bottomless.
And the Reiji Maigo spilled an extreme amount of power of existence into her.
And that power still remains within Sakai Yuji.
The Reiji Maigo is continuously refilling, including the added amount.
Unpredictable.
I never knew the Reiji Maigo had such an ability.
That's why we're hesitant of leaving this city carelessly.
It's pathetic that we, Bal MasquÃ©, have to live in a temporary residence.
The Professor was excited, but repairing that Seirei-den will take time.
But, we'll take care of the things we need to in the meantime.
Right, Metamorphosis?
Yeah.
I guess I'll start making my way out.
It'll be lonely here.
Don't bother saying what you're not even thinking.
Rather than that, you better not do anything strange to my Hecate while I'm out.
What strange things?
When I say strange things, I mean strange things.
Such as the Blue Insignia.
It was all for our ultimate goal.
I'm sure Hecate knows it.
Ultimate goal, eh?
Anyway,
I'll do my job.
Today's training was tough.
Why am I training with Carmel-san all of a sudden?
Because...
Training with the same person develops habits, and it's not good for you.
That's why.
And, about how your power of existence has increased.
Yes, that.
As a matter of pure quantity, it's as large as a King of Guze's.
I can't really feel that.
It's hard for me to get a feel for myself.
The training we do is to control that power.
You have to become capable of casting a Fuzetsu, at least.
Yeah.
Me?
You can become strong.
Ike, do you want to go buy lunch?
Huh? What are you saying? You've got yours.
Um, Sakai-kun.
I made a club sandwich today.
Wow, that's amazing.
I bet there aren't any recipes you can't cook.
That's not true.
I bought my bento already, so let's eat together.
I'll go get some tea.
Don't try to be considerate in a strange way.
Yeah, sorry.
Here you go.
All right, itadakimasu.
Yuji!
This.
This is?
It's yours.
You made it?
Wow, thanks.
Was that stuff this morning about making this?
I have a lot, so I thought I'd share.
I might do so in the future, too.
Thank you. I'll have one.
It's good, but this really is a lot...
I'm beat from this morning, so I'm not that hungry.
I can't leave any more leftovers in one over the other.
It hurts...
Hey, Sakai, what's wrong?
Yuji!
Sakai-kun!
Yuji...
Sakai-kun ate all of it, but it was too much after all.
That's right. So you stop bringing things to Yuji from now.
You understand, right?
Both Yuji and I could face a fight at any moment.
I can't have Yuji in this condition!
What?
I'll decrease the amount then.
Mine's enough.
You don't know it, but Yuji isn't an ordinary Mystes anymore.
Stop interfering!
That's not fair.
It's unfair for you to say that.
I may not know anything, but I love Sakai-kun.
So I will make bentos with that feeling.
I will continue to.
You-
Fighting and such things have nothing to do with this.
You don't understand.
Yoshida Kazumi is only a human after all.
Yuji will think so, too.
Fuzetsu!
Yuji! Wake up! Yuji!
Shana-chan. Sakai-kun isn't feeling well.
It's no time for that.
Yuji, there's a Tomogara here.
Come with me.
Yeah.
Sakai-kun.
Wait, I'll...
Nothing. Please be careful.
The Misago Festival?
We're within the Fuzetsu, yet I don't feel any presence.
Shana, look.
This is the bonfire from the Misago Festival.
Yuji, that doesn't matter right now...
But it's September!
The Misago Festival happens in August.
That's...!
I feel like something exactly like this has happened before.
Yuji, are you listening to me?
Wait. This feeling...
The repetition of the past...
A transient and eternal dream.
How did I forget about this?
Shana! This is a dream! We're inside a dream again!
I knew it.
Yuji, what's going on?
It's the same as yesterday, when we fought that small Tomogara.
She made me have a dream that moment.
I'd even forgotten that she did it,
but just like now, the same exact things that happened in the past would happen.
What? What's wrong?
Shana?
What do you think you're doing?
Yup, you're real this time.
I see. So we're inside a dream.
I never thought that Tomogara had such a skill.
I thought we'd defeated her, but since we're in this situation, she must be...
...alive.
But this is strange.
Last time, I woke up the moment I realized it was a dream.
I wonder why we can't wake up when both you and I know this is dream.
We'll find out if we ask the Tomogara.
What's wrong?
Shana, I just said that only things we know of happen in this world, right?
So?
We saw the Fuzetsu from when we were in the health center.
Which means, that was already a dream.
So Yoshida-san in the health center would only have said things you and I know she had said,
nor could she do anything else.
But...
Sakai-kun.
Wait, I'll...
Nothing. Please be careful.
I don't know of that side of Yoshida-san.
How about you?
Since she could do something we didn't know she did...
This is Yoshida Kazumi's dream, as well?
Yeah.
If Yoshida-san realizes that this is a dream, as well, we can get out.
Yoshida-san!
That's the Tomogara behind this dream?
But that's not the girl from yesterday!
Well, how about I give a formal introduction?
I'm The Fool and Slumber Maina, Mare.
You already know, right?
This is inside my unrestricted spell, Gemeinde.
It's a world created from your memories.
So what we killed yesterday wasn't your core.
That was only a Mystes.
One for combat use that had this Hougu, Papagena.
I was only inhabiting that body.
The reason why I couldn't feel any presence was because you're so small.
What do you want with us?
That's something I want to know.
I'll have you play with me.
Yuji! I'll be fighting, so you find a chance to wake Yoshida Kazumi!
That's the only way to get out of this dream!
Okay.
Everything goes as I want inside Gemeinde.
This girl will never wake up.
Neither will you two.
I told you. Things will turn out as I want in this world.
Shana!
You shouldn't take it so lightly.
You can die in your dreams.
Don't worry about me. Get Yoshida Kazumi.
Don't look away.
Even if it's in a dream, how can it stay unharmed from Shana's attack?
It's as if it doesn't have a body.
So what we killed yesterday wasn't your core.
What if that's not the core either?
Maybe...
Looks like you're smart.
Shana! Inside me!
Mare's inside me!
While you guys are making a fuss, my hand's about to reach the Reiji Maigo.
You can no longer touch me, since I'm inside this Mystes.
Yuji!
Is... Is this... a Keeper?
A Keeper?
It's a Hougu that Bal MasquÃ© went after.
If I get it, then everyone would come to know me and come after me...
Now all that's left for me is to be known as the one who killed the Mystes with the Hougu.
You!
If I die, Gemeinde will collapse.
But that girl will never wake up before that happens.
Either way, you guys are...
Crap.
Yoshida-san! Wake up!
Yoshida-san!
...kun...
...Sakai-kun...
Yoshida-san.
Sakai-kun.
Why? It's impossible!
Was that...
Thank you, Yoshida-san.
We were all able to come back thanks to you.
But it's great that you realized that was a dream.
I'm amazed.
Amazed?
I just felt that you were there,
and I wanted to see you even if it was just a bit.
W-Will you...
Sakai-kun, are you all right?
He must be tired.
I'm...
It'll be a problem if this happens again, so pay attention to your bentos.
Only if you intend to keep giving them to Yuji.
I'll reduce the amount by half.
Okay.
What? A Keeper?
Yeah. That's what the Tomogara that entered Yuji said.
There is a strong Keeper put on Reiji Maigo.
Who knew...
So... a Keeper...
Margery-san, you're drinking too much every night.
We can't go to school if you're like this.
What? You like going to school all of a sudden?
N-No.
Hey, but aren't you drinking too much, really?
My beloved Margery Daw.
I've got a bad feeling about things.
Let me introduce a transfer student.
This is Konoe Fumina-kun.
Until she gets used to it here, make sure you all take care of her.
First of all...
What?
Is this another dream?
...how about an introduction?
A girl with the same face as Master Throne Hecate transferred into my class.
Is Konoe Fumina really human?
Shana grows suspicious and points her sword at her while she's frozen in a Fuzetsu.
Next time on Shakugan no Shana Second.
Suspicious Transfer Student.
