The Beautiful Whim, Pheles, attacks Misaki High School in the midst of the Seishuu Festival.
Shana goes head-to-head with the King of Guze who seeks the Reiji Maigo.
Margery loses her senses after seeing the silver Fuzetsu Yuji cast.
The fierce battle leaves new mysteries and scars of sorrow in each individual's heart.
She's late.
It's about time your power of existence refills.
Well, if she isn't going to show up, I don't mind just getting started with this.
Don't rush like that, my impatient wire fuse, Margery Daw.
I'm sure the Flame-Haired Red-Hot-Eyed girl will come before the scheduled time.
That midget's got some nerve, if you ask me.
She's leaving you with me and the Beautiful Whim in this situation.
She's right...
Although she promised she won't do anything, since I have the silver flame, to Margery-san, I'm...
Plus...
Her...
Pheles-san...
She also wants to get Johan, her lover, out of the Reiji Maigo...
What's wrong?
Don't feel comfortable?
Satou.
Considering what's about to happen, I can imagine.
So, where is she?
Shana-chan.
Sakai-kun...
Give her Yuji's power of existence?
Could you donate some to Pheles?
Just the bare minimum, enough for her to stand and walk.
To get further information out of her, it may be a necessary treatment.
Alastor. But she was going to...
Of course, in order to prevent Pheles from destroying the Mystes, all of us will be present to monitor her ~de arimasu.
Plus...
If we make a careful observation of the flow of power between the Reiji Maigo and its creator, we may...
We may find out something about the Silver?
Yuji?
If it's something necessary.
Anyway, you can't destroy Yuji.
That's the absolute condition.
Do you agree, Pheles?
If you want to get Johan back, then you mustn't touch the Mystes.
We need to proceed with caution ~de arimasu.
Okay.
If it's for Johan.
Then we'll aim for midnight tonight, and gather at-
Let's use Keisaku's place.
I don't feel like putting up a Fuzetsu.
Who are you?
Why are you here?
I'm, ah...
An ordinary human shouldn't be here.
I'm an ordinary human.
I can't go near Shana-chan or Sakai-kun.
An ordinary...
Shana-chan?
I'm here to pick you up.
Shana-chan, why are you...
Get ready.
Hurry. It'll be midnight soon.
Ow.
Don't worry. I don't sense anyone waking up.
You can feel things like that?
Does it take people like that to be by your side?
What do you want to do?
I...
I'll go to where Sakai-kun is.
Then no one can stop you.
Not even the Beautiful Whim, Pheles.
Not even me.
Shana-chan!
Let's go.
I won't let her speak of our matter.
Yeah.
So this is Shana-chan's... the Flame Haze world.
But why?
Why is she showing me this world?
It's the same expression she had then.
The same expression as then.
Kazumi!
I will tell Yuji that I love him.
Okay.
But I won't lose.
I won't either.
What?
Well... How should I put it...
So, looks like the entire cast is here with one extra guest.
Let's get this started.
Why did Shana bring Yoshida-san here?
Stay quiet.
It's only an unrestricted spell for observations and manipulation.
Five spells at once, eh?
You sure are thorough, my cautious adventurer, Margery Daw.
If you dare touch Yuji's core, even the slightest bit, then before you even see any results,
I will kill you.
Not so fast.
You must take things cautiously.
Permissible range.
Johan...
You're so close to me, yet...
You're right here, yet...
Yuji!
Sakai-kun!
The pact we made was to not touch this Mystes' core.
Donation of power is complete ~de arimasu.
End.
Are you all right, Sakai-kun?
So, did you discover anything ~de arimasuka?
Looks like a mysterious spell insignia is tangled with the Reiji Maigo.
Spell insignia?
The one Sabrac put?
I don't know if that's the cause, but the Keeper you put on has gone through a strange mutation.
The Keeper has mutated?
What do you mean?
I don't know.
If you're so curious, why don't you reach into the Reiji Maigo?
But, even for the person who affixed the Keeper, I won't guarantee your safety.
So, any connection between that insignia and Silver?
I said it's a mystery because I don't see one.
All I can say now is, rather than the mystery of the Reiji Maigo being resolved, we just gained another.
Not only Silver and Johan, but it comes with a third option?
This Torch-Mystes boy is way too much of a black box.
He may be a Torch or a Mystes, but Sakai-kun is still who he is.
Yoshida-san...
Kazumi...
I'm only a human.
I don't know the true meaning behind Guze, Tomogara, or Flame Haze.
I might never understand.
But...
I have a request, Pheles-san.
Come on over! Come on over!
Oden is better on the second day!
Hey, look!
Yeah, it's the girl that got the grand prix in yesterday's masquerade.
Who's the person in the middle?
She's so beautiful.
There is a saying, "Yesterday's enemy is today's friend,"
but I never imagined this happening ~de arimasu.
Agreed.
And, I never thought Yoshida Kazumi had such fortitude.
Unexpected.
I have a request, Pheles-san.
Please attend the Seishuu Festival with me.
Yoshida-san?
Kazumi...
Geez, what is this about?
Don't you know who she is?
The Beautiful Whim, Pheles.
A Guze no Tomogara.
But also, a woman who seeks the one she loves.
Then I'm sure she'll understand.
There shouldn't be any difference in love, whether it be for a human or a Tomogara.
The... Mystes you tried to destroy...
Is someone...
I want you to... I want you to see how important the time I spend with Sakai-kun is to me.
I'll walk with you.
Shana-chan.
Instead of watching Yuji, it's more effective to be with Pheles.
Yoshida-san has changed.
Shana called her "Kazumi", too.
Did something happen between them?
By the way, why are we up here alone?
Obviously as a precaution ~de arimasu.
We can't have you act as you wish with Pheles around.
Understand the situation you are in ~de arimasu.
You...
...Damned fool.
Here you go, Pheles-san, Shana-chan.
These are crepes our class made.
They're really good.
Um, is this your first experience with a place like this?
It's called a "school festival".
It's a festival organized by the school.
I have been to festivals before.
I have been to them many times...
...with Johan.
I'm sure she can understand.
I'm sure she will think twice...
...since we share the same emotion.
It's hard for me to think that Pheles will open her heart to us so easily.
But, like Kazumi says, there may be a chance.
What should we do next, Oga-chan?
I can't eat any more.
Then how about we check out the flea market?
Or maybe some games?
I'll treat you to everything.
Margery-san.
Tanaka...
Hello, Ane-san.
Looks like you're having fun, Matake!
Yes, well...
What's wrong, Tanaka?
Look, Eita. Matake's worried.
Get moving already.
Let's go, Oga-chan.
Eita.
You don't have to rush.
There's plenty of time.
So evaluate the weight of the truth you experienced,
then you can come to a conclusion.
Yes.
Wait, hey!
Margery-san...
Yesterday's incident was one big hurdle to Eita.
He can find out about himself starting with what's important to him now.
You're the very reason Eita is depressed, and you wrapped everything up pretty well.
My great flamethrower, Margery-
Shut up, stupid Marco!
Is something the matter ~de arimasuka?
No...
Just thinking that this is the right place for me to be.
Everyone's spending their fun time...
But my time is frozen...
...and that frozen time is kept alive by the Reiji Maigo.
What kind of person was Johan?
You said that he's inside the Reiji Maigo, and if I remember correctly, he was a Mystes.
So that means...
Yes. Like you, he was once a human ~de arimasu.
Pheles was a whimsical, self-indulgent Tomogara that only cared to live for the moment because of her great strength ~de arimashita.
Johan was a baby human she raised as an orphan out of passing interest.
However, as time passed and the baby grew, Pheles started to...
"There shouldn't be any difference in love, whether it be for a human or a Tomogara."
Pheles must have accepted Yoshida's request because she concurred with the statement.
Soon...
The Seishuu Festival will soon end...
I'll finally be freed from this penance.
Ah, there you are, Ike-kun!
We got another call for a lost child!
Come with me!
Is the festival coming to an end?
Johan will be sad.
Pheles-san?
It's sad to see a festival coming to an end.
Human pleasure always comes with an end.
Don't be so disappointed.
I'll give you anything you want.
What I want...
That's...
Johan?
That would be you, Pheles.
To be with your for all eternity... that's my wish.
If it requires me to quit being a human, then I'll do so gladly.
Johan...
Let's play a prank on time.
We'll make it lose track of itself at midnight.
Johan...
You can't...
You need to wish to be with me for all eternity, as well.
Johan...
Then I will become a Mystes.
Stop, my time.
So that I can be with her, this one so beautiful.
Johan...
What's the matter, Pheles-san?
Nothing.
I was only recalling a memory.
I, too, had an important time.
Just as you're treasuring your time now.
Pheles-san.
So she understood.
That concludes the 72nd Misaki High School's Seishuu Festival!
Next year, we shall have another blast, greater than this year!
Thank you, Wilhelmina.
It was fortunate of me to meet you here.
Thanks to you, I wasn't killed, and not only that, I discovered the situation Johan is facing.
It's all thanks to you.
Pheles...
Jubilee.
Interpreter of Condolence, Margery Daw.
My gratitude to you, too.
Had I not known about the Keeper's mutation, I would have forced myself to seize the Reiji Maigo.
I didn't run the test for you.
Above all else, Flame-Haired Red-Hot-Eyed Hunter, Shana...
...and Yoshida Kazumi.
You two gave me time.
The time you treasure was a time necessary to me, too.
Thank you.
Pheles-san.
Thanks to you...
...the real me is now ready to meet Johan.
Yuji!
Sakai-kun!
Something's coming!
This presence!
Could it be!
Pheles!
I get it. The Pheles we've been interacting with was merely a marker to let the real her know its location.
It was a fragment of her that carried her consciousness.
Then... that's her real body?
Semi-eternal search through contact.
It's her unrestricted spell that utilizes an avatar to research the surroundings until the main body arrives.
Ring of Wind.
But why would she...
Because there can't be any more convenient situation than this.
An old friend.
A spellcaster that doesn't care to see anything other than her objective.
A hunter who indulges in her sweet friendship.
And a single-minded, foolish girl.
I take advantage of everything.
So that I can get Johan back.
No...
She's lying!
If I can't touch the Reiji Maigo, then I'll just have Johan come out himself.
Come to me, Johan.
Yuji!
Johan?
A silver arm appears from within Yuji.
What could it be that speared Pheles' body?
This situation, where no one can guess what will happen next, devolves into further confusion.
Konoe Fumina's secret is finally revealed.
Next time on Shakugan no Shana Second.
Awakening.
