Miyu?
Miyu...
Where... am I?
The distant echoes
Of someone's footsteps
Melt away my loneliness.
On a night where the falling stars
Streak across my vision,
I entrust my wish to their light.
We're looking up at the same sky,
So I'll keep leaping across time
Until I can reach you!
The constellations are calling out to each other,
Decorating the sky,
As I let Polaris guide my way.
Even if the waves of fate pull me away,
Right now, I'm coming to find you!
I'm here with you,
In this precious world spun by the stars!
City Fading to Silver
Thank you for the help today!
Sorry for coming here so suddenly.
Exploring your mansion was so much fun!
No, she only helped us with our homework.
Thanks to you, I think we can finish it ourselves.
Thanks, Miyu.
It's nothing, really.
What is it, Illya?
I'm so happy everyone's getting along.
I now see why tsunderes are so popular.
What did you say?
Nothing!
Huh? Are you going somewhere, Miyu?
Yeah. To Illya's room.
To do what?
What? To fuse with Sapphire and Ruby again—
Idiot!
Ruby?
Sapphire?
Fusing?
Um... You've got it all wrong! It's um, um...
Why are you so flustered?
Is it a video game?
By "fusing," do ya mean robots!? Let me come too!
No! It's something we can't show others!
"Can't show others..."
Now that sounds suspicious.
Is it life-sized!? Can you ride it!?
Uh, uh...
Illya!
Does it fire beams, too!?
Hey, Illya, listen!
Illya...
Stop it, you two!
It is too early for us to know about that.
It's not that!
It's not what you think, Mimi!
Is that so?
Then what is it?
Just say it.
It's a robot, right!? Tell me it's a robot!
A—Actually...
Actually?
Actually,
it's exactly what Mimi's thinking.
Idiot.
Illya...
Mimi, what exactly was too early for us to know?
Huh? Th-Th-That's...
What was that about, Illya?
What was I supposed to do?
We're home!
Pardon me.
Welcome home.
Onii-chan!
Welcome home.
Yo.
Today, we did our homework at Luvia-san's place.
Oh?
Good afternoon.
I hear Illya and Kuro were at your place?
Thanks for having them.
N-No, it was nothing. They're my friends.
I see.
Since you're here, why not join us for dinner?
Yeah.
As a token of our gratitude.
No, you don't need to...
Come on, come on.
Eat with us!
You don't need to hold back.
Uh, then, thanks for having me.
What a day!
What is it, Illya-san?
You sound like an old lady.
Ah, Ruby!
Are you tired?
You must be tired, right?
Very well.
Then let's give you one of Ruby-chan's approved special shots!
Absolutely not!
You'll be fine.
Once I give you this, your weariness, reason,
and mind will all be blown away!
I guarantee it.
But two of those should never be blown away!
Now, use this, and enter a salacious world that dazzles the senses.
Come on, come on, come on!
Wai—
Nee-san, please behave yourself.
Sapphire!
Well, I was bored!
Illya-san's group was doing homework,
and Rin-san's group has been run ragged with reports to the Association.
That is not a valid reason to inject Illya-sama with some suspicious drug.
Wrong! I need her to take better care of her health!
Illya-san's my precious to— master, after all.
You almost said "toy" there, didn't you!?
No, I said no such thing.
Nee-san, you should learn when to stop.
What?
What is it?
Well, I was just thinking that peaceful days like these are nice.
Peaceful?
They're rather lively, though.
Well, I didn't mean "complete peace."
I just meant these normal days where nothing bad happens.
I know.
Yeah.
Honestly,
I wish these times would last forever.
It's an emergency!
These times...
Forever?
No, nevermind.
Something's wrong with the mountain?
That's not surprising.
After what happened there,
isn't it natural for the mountain to be abnormal?
It would be nice if that were all.
The Church's observer is there, too.
So covering it up wouldn't be impossible.
Then is there something else off about it?
No... In fact, it's like nothing is wrong with it.
Huh?
What do you mean?
No news is good news, right?
I'm not saying that.
They're gone.
The crater formed by your battle
and all the other irregularities are totally gone.
Doesn't that mean the Church took care of them?
That's impossible.
Even if they'd managed to act this fast,
all they could do is cover up the damage.
They could never repair it.
That's why this is an emergency.
That reminds me,
we never did find the eighth Card, did we?
No.
Hey, hey, what's the meaning of this?
The Cards that went to the other side are here?
We might be able to reclaim them.
Great, great! This is getting exciting!
You all came, too?
Bazett...
Have you learned anything?
Nothing in particular as of yet.
What is this?
Everyone, be careful!
What is going on here?
It's like
the dimension is unstable, and it's inverting back and forth.
Huh? Someone's there?
Run!
Huh?
Miyu!
Fire!
What are you doing?
Wow, you're pretty good.
I'll give you a reward, then!
Wh-What's happening?
Who
are they?
And I thought we'd finally found them.
Forget them.
Recover the priority target for now.
We have come to retrieve you, Miyu-sama.
N-No,
I don't want to go back.
So you've started to speak that way?
Huh?
Jeez, don't waste our time.
Treat her carefully. If the contents were to spill...
Why, you...
Get away from Miyu!
And you are?
Oh? I don't get it, but if you're trying to get in our way,
you understand the consequences, right?
So much mana...
Blast away!
Stop. That's enough.
Huh?
It's coming.
We're inverting back.
The sky?
What's this? The world is splitting?
What?
I can't see any—
Illya...
Miyu!
Illya, help me.
Miyu!
Miyu?
Miyu...
Kuro! Rin-san! Luvia-san!
Where is everyone?
Well, I can't do anything by myself.
I need to find everyone!
Ruby! Sapphire! Bazett-san!
What do I do? No one's here.
Given the situation,
maybe they went home for the time being.
I'll try going home, too.
It's cold.
It's so cold.
Why is it snowing in the middle of summer?
What in the world is going on?
Once I pass through here, the city is...
What... is this?
Faster! I have to hurry home!
I'm sure Mama is worried about me.
Sella, too... and Liz, and Onii-chan!
I'm going back
to my home!
I knew it.
It's snowing.
There's a crater.
The city's in ruins.
There are no signs of people here.
This is
an unfamiliar world.
Why?
What's happening here?
What do I do?
I have no idea what's going on.
Ruby... Rin-san... Luvia-san... Kuro...
Where did you go?
Miyu!
Huh?
O-Ow... Cold... And also heavy!
I hit my butt and my head.
Jeez, your shouting made me trip.
Were you doing vocal training?
Whoa! You're an idiot, wearing such thin clothing in the snow.
Aren't you cold?
I don't want to hear that from you!
Why not?
You're only wearing gym clothes!
What are gym clothes?
What you're wearing right now!
Huh?
Ah, jeez...
But thank goodness.
People are here.
Um, Tanaka-san?
"Ta-na-ka-san"?
You're Tanaka-san, right?
That's what the label on your chest says.
Nakata!
TL Note: The kanji for Nakata is the same as Tanaka but in reverse.
It's Tanaka!
That's good!
I'm surprised you can drink cold water right now, Tanaka-san.
You're shivering.
If you're that cold, why don't you wear more clothes?
I said I don't want to hear that from you!
Aren't you cold in your outfit, Tanaka-san?
I'm toasty!
See?
Wow, you really are warm.
Why is her body temperature
so high in this weather, when she's only in gym clothes?
She doesn't look like she has a fever.
Who in the world is she?
But,
Staying like this is nice and relaxing.
Hey, Tanaka-san, I'd like to ask you some questions.
Go ahead.
I'll answer anything.
What's going on in this city?
How did it get so trashed?
I don't know.
What's with that crater?
What's with this snow? What's the date?
I don't know.
You don't know?
But you live here, don't you?
How could you not know?
Hmm, rather... where are we right now?
Who am I?
There's someone who's worse off than I am.
I wished 'cause I wanted, even though it's wayward.
We took an oath, saying "No matter what!"
Embracing a promise
To always look straight ahead, even to an uncertain tomorrow!
I feel you always by me.
I believe my faith, my wish.
Even if losing hope is an absolute sin,
I want to reach out and give it all to you.
Even if I have to go beyond the limits of this world.
You just can't be replaced, my precious!
Discovering the one place I never realized was so important,
I found bonds stronger than fate
That were residing there!
Breaking a story that we were told we couldn't resist,
I'll write my own tale, of our new hope!
Miracles are nothing but projectiles, and the stars can form my sword!
I'm heading to where you are, if you have a wish you want granted!
Even the routes we haven't yet discovered,
Will be overwritten by this Wayward.
How did it come to this?
If only I knew where Miyu was, at least...
Miyu's been captured by the Ainsworth family.
I heard she jumped to a parallel world, but she's come back.
Wh-What?
You know Miyu?
And what do you mean by "parallel world"?
I... I don't know.
That just came out.
What is this memory?
Please remember it! It's extremely important!
"Ainsworth..."
What is it about that name?
It's on the tip of my tongue.
Found you.
Next Time
Let's go for a round!
Are you in there?
If you are, answer me! Miyu!
That family has to be destroyed.
That is my objective.
I'm Miyu's older brother.
