Huh? What was I doing?
Who is that?
Where am I?
Who...
am I again?
Huh?
The distant echoes
tooku hibiku
Of someone's footsteps
dareka no ashioto
Melt away my loneliness.
kodoku no kehai o tokashite
On a night where the falling stars
hoshi furu yoru
Streak across my vision,
shikai yokogiru hikari niwa
I entrust my wish to their light.
negai takushite
We're looking up at the same sky,
onaji sora miageteru
So I'll keep leaping across time
anata no tokoro made
Until I can reach you!
toki o koete
The constellations are calling out to each other,
yozora irodotte
Decorating the sky,
yobiau seizatachi
As I let Polaris guide my way.
Porarisu tayori ni
Even if the waves of fate pull me away,
unmei no nami ni nomaretemo
Right now, I'm coming to find you!
ima mitsuke ni iku yo
I'm here with you,
anata to iru
In this precious world spun by the stars!
mamorubeki hoshi ga tsumugu sekai
Dolls and Stuffed Animals
What a mess!
The barrier never went off at all.
How in the world did the enemy...
Who knows?
That's why I'm going to ask our resident know-it-all.
Gil, Illya's been kidnapped!
You shouldn't do that.
I don't dislike tomboys, but they really aren't suited for morning nap—
Man, seriously.
Once I'm an adult again, I'm killing you first. No doubt about it.
In this country, we show no mercy to idiots.
Remember that.
So what's going on?
You said Illya-san was kidnapped?
The window was open, and these Cards were scattered on her bed.
Kidnapping is the only possible conclusion.
But our detection barrier didn't activate.
There are no signs that it was broken.
So the enemy couldn't have broken in.
You're saying Illya got up and left on her own?
Without telling us?
And through the window?
That's the only explanation I can imagine.
I'm telling you that's impossible!
Maybe they used it?
What?
When we infiltrated the Ainsworth castle,
we used a concealment cloth that blocks
all magical and visual detection.
What about it?
Illya-san apparently left it in the castle among all the confusion.
Huh? What the heck?
It was lost and then stolen. Really, when it rains, it pours.
So you're saying Darius used the cloth to capture Illya-san?
That doesn't feel right, either.
Given the kidnapping's incoherent execution and reckless timing
the culprit's probably...
Finished brainwashing her?
I failed.
Brainwashing?
You failed?
There's one region I can't interfere with,
and she has withdrawn her memories there.
An empty region.
It's like a personality used to be there, but left.
Right... I remember now.
I was kidnapped.
I don't get it.
What do we do?
We should use the method we employed the other day.
Oh, I see!
Kidnapped and brainwashed?
You're great at that, Angelica!
How underhanded.
Yes, I originally specialized in substitution magic.
I have to protect my mind!
I won't let these people brainwash me!
I'll never lose—
Huh?
So Illya-oneechan's in here?
Huh? Huh? Huh?!
The transference is complete.
Illyasviel's mind is now in that stuffed animal,
and I placed a fake personality in her body.
Transference?
She moved my mind?
They can do that?
The cowards!
Or so I'd like to say, but I can't speak!
My body won't move at all, either!
It seems there's an air of confusion about her.
I'm sorry for suddenly bringing you here.
I wanted to finish this while Papa was asleep.
What?
Miyu-oneechan told me she preferred to be with you.
But we can't let Miyu-oneechan leave, right?
So I asked Angelica for a favor.
But Papa wouldn't let you stay here the way you were,
so we took away your power!
Papa should let a mere stuffed animal stay with us!
Isn't that great?
Now you two can be together forever!
Th-This girl genuinely believes that.
So innocently, without any malice!
Now, let's show you to Onee-chan right away.
I'm sure she'll be happy!
Which should we show her?
Illyasviel's mind and body are separate now.
Oh, right.
Hmm, which should we show?
Mind,
or body.
Which one is Illya-oneechan now?
Wh-What are you saying?
That's obviously me—
The contents have no meaning.
The vessel is what's important.
Hey!
Okay!
Then we'll take the body to her.
Uh, the one that's Illya-oneechan's body...
B-Body-oneechan!
Don't give it a weird name!
Recognized. I am Body.
It spoke!?
And don't acknowledge that name!
Now, Bodysviel, to Miyu-sama's room.
What in the world?!
How can you all say such stupid things so seriously?!
Mind-oneechan, watch the room for us.
We'll be back!
They changed my name, too!?
Wait! Don't leave me!
Wh-What do I do?
This is a really bad situation.
Move, body!
N-No use.
It figures.
There's no way a cotton body like this could move.
I'm too powerless.
In the end, I couldn't do anything on my own.
I've done everything up to now with Ruby's help.
Using your head like that is no good for a magical girl!
She's ignoring the logic and processes, and imagining the results.
That kind of mindless optimism is ideal for a magical girl!
I see.
If I assume it's impossible before I try, that's it.
What I need
is to believe I can do it!
I stood!
I stood up!
I can move!
With imagination and spirit, I really can do anything!
Th-This is no time to savor it.
I have to chase after my body!
They were heading for Miyu.
Wait for me, Miyu! I'll get my body and come to you—
Huh? What?
Hey, of all people...
What's a stuffed animal doing lying here?
Don't grind into me!
Hey!
Still, you're cute!
Huh?
Ah, she's taking me with her!
If I move now, she'll realize I'm inside
and rip me apart!
Here we are.
This is my room.
Starting today, it's your home.
Oh, no!
It will be difficult to escape from her—
Wh-What's with this room?!
I'm home, Julian-sama!
I'm sorry for leaving you here!
Were you lonely?
Hey, were you lonely?
What? Wh-Wh-Wh-Wha?
B-Beako wasn't lonely at all.
Turn your pig face toward me, Beatrice.
Your filthy eyes should only reflect me.
I'm so moe for Julian-tan when he talks tough!
What is this girl doing?!
Who's Julian? Some idol?
Seeing trash like you pisses me off.
Now, stay still... in my arms.
Oh man, this is great!
I can make him say anything!
Seeing trash like you pisses me off.
Sampling Julian-sama's beautiful voice
and converting it to a voiceroid... I've been busy, busy!
Now, stay still... in my arms.
What have you been busy doing?!
Furthermore...
Th-There's more?
I have this nearly life-size "Sleep With Julian-sama" blanket!
Ah! No!
Julian-sama, I said, "No."
It's still morning.
Huh? You want to because it's morning?
Gosh, Julian-sama, you pervert!
"Don't talk, lowly swine."
This is definitely something nobody should see.
"You only need to do as I tell you."
It's not like I had a choice, though!
Yes!
Beako is your sow, Julian-sama!
If she ever learns that I saw something so embarrassing,
Please have your way with me!
death would pale in comparison!
"Yeah, I'll mess you up good."
"As befits that pig's face of yours."
Julian-sama!
How could you? No!
I-I'll escape while I can.
Sh-She caught me?
She didn't see, right?
Th-There's no one inside here!
The whole world can just die.
What's with this sudden change?!
This thing is just a substitute.
I'm a fool for going crazy over it.
While I do agree with you there,
what's with the sudden mood swing?
Julian-sama...
Huh?
Loves me.
Loves me not. Loves me. Loves me not.
Flower fortune telling?
Wait, she's using stuffed animal heads for it?!
Loves me.
She's coming this way!
Loves me not.
Loves me.
Loves me not.
Loves me.
No!
Loves me n—
Not...
Not!
Pardon me.
Why, you...
This is strange. The door won't open.
I-I'm saved?
Won't open. Won't open.
But who in the world...
You airheads!
Don't rattle the door!
Please move.
I shall handle this.
Huh?
Proceeding at full force.
This voice? No way.
Stop—
Wh-Wh-Wh-Wha?
It's open.
I propose improving the door fittings.
Now, then,
commencing morning cleaning.
Why are they here?
Rin-san! Luvia-san!
Miyu-oneechan!
Erica? What is it?
I have a present for you today, Onee-chan!
Now, come in.
It was no good.
I was sure Miyu-oneechan would like it.
Why did she end up crying?
Perhaps because she values the mind, not the body?
Hmm, I see.
That's strange.
Dolls are definitely better.
You prefer dolls, Erica-sama?
Yeah.
I like stuffed animals, too. But dolls can move and talk.
That makes them better!
I think so, too.
However, it seems Miyu-sama didn't appreciate it.
Oh, well.
Next time, we'll bring her the stuffed animal.
Thank goodness.
Rin-san and Luvia-san are safe.
That means everyone who was in the great cavern
back then was sent into this world.
Commencing cleaning.
We shall thoroughly eliminate filth.
You airheads!
This is full of trash.
Disposing all of it.
It's not trash!
Even without heads, the stuffed animals are my friends!
Wait, huh?
Why are these two maids here?
Wow! What a difference!
No, no, it's not the time for that.
What I should be doing right now is...
Trash will be disposed of.
Huh?
Hold on, Rin-san!
Mine hasn't come off, so I'm not trash!
Trash bag full.
Stop it!
Cut it out already!
You two think you can mess with my friends?
Screw you!
Especially this bear thing. There's not even a single tear on it yet!
Your definition of "friendship" is way too warped!
Listen, don't throw out my stuffed animals.
I'll repair them again.
This is the greatest trash.
Dismantling for disposal.
Julian-sama!
I'll never forgive either of you!
Stay right there!
Hey!
I'll crush you both at—
Tsk.
I can't. If I hit them, they'll go back.
Go back? What?
Crap! Just get out of here!
Throw the stuffed animals in Erica's room!
Then Angelica will fix them!
H-Hooray!
For now, I've managed to escape that destructive girl's room!
Rin-san! Luvia-san!
This...
is not a stuffed animal.
They noticed? Yes, I'm Illy—
It's moving trash.
I've been reduced to trash!?
Uh, uh... If I move in a way that proves I'm me...
What kind of motions do I usually make?!
Right.
Please figure it out!
I am
me!
I'm Illya!
Huh? Just now...
I... I spoke?
Incredible.
I don't understand how, but I'm incredible!
Now you understand, right? I'm—
It's talking trash.
Why won't you stop seeing me as trash?!
Their eyes are just like my body's.
They both had their minds removed, like mine?
Then where are their minds now?
This is problematic.
Huh?
I don't know how to sort talking trash.
Combustible? Noncombustible? Recyclable?
Which is it?
Most things are combustible.
But if anything doesn't incinerate, we'll be yelled at.
Hey, um...
Understood.
Then, to ensure incineration, I'll cut it into pieces for disposal.
These two...
Even without minds, they still cause trouble!
It must not escape.
Pursuing.
Huh?
Mind-oneechan's stuffed animal isn't here!
Why not?
Bea-chan must have taken it again.
Pardon us.
Releasing stuffed animals.
Ah! Those are mine!
They're ripped again! I hate Bea-chan!
Please don't worry, Erica-sama. I shall fix them.
As many times as needed.
Okay.
Wait.
Hold still, so I can rip you apart.
Talking trash will be disposed of.
What is this commotion?
Currently disposing of talking trash.
Whatever.
More importantly, how did the rat extermination go?
Currently in progress, as well.
Traps and poison are having no effect.
Then we shall have to capture them by hand.
Erica-sama, I am leaving for a moment.
I will repair your stuffed animals later.
Okay.
I... I ditched them?
I didn't know the castle had a loft. Thank goodness.
R-Rats?
That surprised me.
I guess a building this big would have some rats.
What shouId I do now?
Hmm, what was it?
I feel like I'm forgetting something important.
Again? Aren't there too many rats?
This is getting to be too gross—
No! A mountain of rats!
There are way too many!
Is this a rat paradise?
Is this Ratland!?
So you finally managed to find me?
It spoke!
It appears that I have been discovered.
However, I shall not give up without a fight.
Huh?
I shall fight to the bitter end.
Wait! Is that voice...
Disperse!
Sapphire?
Huh? Is that voice...
Illya-sama?
Why do you look like that?
No, I should greet you first.
It has been a long time, Illya-sama.
I am very glad to see you again.
Before that, stop the rats!
Oh, right.
You contacted Ruby and told her you were hiding in the castle.
With the help of these rats,
I waited for my chance here, in the loft.
However,
I never expected you to also be turned into a stuffed animal.
"Also"? So Rin-san and Luvia-san were...
Have you seen them?
Their bodies appear to be in use as housemaids,
but they completely fail at their tasks.
And their hopeless, pathetic state has been difficult to watch.
You really are Ruby's little sister.
The loft. Go.
Understood.
Oh, no...
There's nowhere to run.
Illya-sama, please grab hold of me.
Huh?
Kaleidosticks are powerless on their own, but...
Okay!
We can't fight on our own.
But together...
Compact, Full Open.
Mirror World Circuits: maximum engage.
Prisma Illya, Sapphire Version: Loaded!
We can fight like this?
For now, we shall have to try our best.
