There are girls who fight, wagering the stories locked within their hearts.
If you were to read these stories,
you would find that they are part of a greater, incomplete tale said to make any dream come true.
When the power of one’s imagination becomes the power to forge one’s dreams into reality,
the fight to complete the unfinished tale begins.
Take me to your story
Colors are slowly and leisurely brushed
shiro ni egaku rinkakusen
onto an outline drawn in plain white.
fuwari fuwari iro wo nosete yuku
A palette filled with all the colors of the world
sekai iro no e no gubako wa
dwells within everyone's heart.
dare mo ga mune no naka ni motteru
Your prayers for hidden desires
himeta negai inoru kotoba
will join together with your overflowing dreams,
afuredasu yume wo
if you've discovered the key that binds them.
tsunagi awasete yuku kagi wo mitsuketa nara
Spread your wings with a dream-filled heart
omou kokoro tsubasa hiroge
and we can go anywhere, no matter how far away it is.
bokura wa doko made mo tooku e yukeru
The two tales we are weaving
tsumugu futari no monogatari ga
will harness the wind and carry us to the distant eternity.
kaze wo atsumete haruka eien ni todoku

Takion-sama,
why did you ask those girls to come here?
To relieve my boredom, to shake up their emotions,
and because I want to see their stories.
Take a look, Liddell.
A much more interesting game is about to begin.
Good morning, Kiraha.
Oh? And just how did you get out?
Huh?!
Did you break the spell with a kiss?
Coming!
Good morning!
Kisa-chan!
Good morning!
Good morning. How come you’re here so early?
Let’s go.
Huh?
Let’s go.
Kiraha?
I thought we could go out after we ate...
Kiraha?
I wonder why Kisa-chan is acting like this today.
She seems really active.
Oh, stop it!
You see!
My balloon!
I hate large crowds of people.
Everyone is packed so tightly together. It makes me feel like I’m being crushed to death.
What would you like?
Um, what?
I recommend the mango.
That is...
Do you want a single, a double, or a triple scoop?
Well... Um...
Aruto-kun called me here, but...
Could this really be a date?
A-Aruto-kun.
Sorry to keep you waiting, Arisugawa-san.
Sorry, I did it again.
No, no. I just got here myself.
Thanks for waiting!
The cheesecake here is really tasty, isn’t it?
Y-Yeah, it is.
It’s no good.
It’s just the same as always.
This... isn’t a date, is it?
Arisugawa-san!
Y-Yes?
A-About that time...
Yeah.
That was just to escape from the world of the book
and not something that really meant anything, right?
Um, well...
I just felt I needed to tell you that those were my feelings about it.
Yeah.
Mine too.
I wonder if Kisa-chan is all right.
Kiraha-chan.
Sorry to keep you waiting!
Strawberry, peach, and mint chocolate...
...these are my favorite flavors!
Are you really okay? Look, there’s so many people here!
Yeah, I’m just fine!
It’s delicious!
You’re smiling!
I understand what you’re going through.
You really love Aruto-senpai more than anyone else.
Kisa-chan!
Whenever you feel sad, I feel sad too.
I’m sorry for making you worry about me, Kisa-chan.
It’s not that.
I’ve always been causing trouble for you.
So this is repayment!
Thank you!
I knew it.
You always look better with a bright smile on your face, like now.
Oh, Kisa-chan!
It seems that you doubt my sincerity...
That’s not it.
I’m happy!
Kiraha-chan?
Onii-chan.
Arisu-chan!
Are you okay?
Got you!
Kiraha-chan!
Three against one, eh? I’ll get you next time!
Kisa-chan.
Thank goodness.
I really hate it when Kiraha-chan’s sad.
No one understands how she feels.
Hello? This is the Kiraha residence.
A prank call?
Um...
Hello? Your voice is very faint.
I’m sorry... that is...
That is?
Kisa-chan?!
N-No, I’m not!
That was Kisa-chan, wasn’t it?
I’m not good at talking to people.
If I write a letter, then I don’t have to talk!
But that’s way too slow and indirect!
Unless I find the fastest possible way to get Kiraha-chan to smile again,
I’m going to burst!
Thanks for waiting.
I’m a little surprised that you invited me out.
G-Good afternoon, that is...
Good afternoon.
Yum!
I’m the one that called her, but how do I tell her what I have to say?
This is the first time I’ve talked with you like this, isn’t it?
Uh, Kisa-chan?
It really is rude of me to interject myself into a private matter between them.
Um...
You wanted to speak to me about something, right?
Now is not the time to think about what’s rude or not!
Kisa-chan?!
Um...
Well...
Um...
Kisa-chan, what is it?
Kiraha-chan is really sad!
Kiraha-chan really loves Aruto-senpai!
You’re right.
That’s because he’s her older brother.
Her older brother?!
You don’t understand at all!
She may be his little sister,
but everyone feels sad when the person they love gets taken away!
That’s true.
It’s true!
But...
I’m sorry.
That won’t change my feelings.
I love Aruto-kun as much as he loves me!
Even though I love Kiraha-chan,
and she’s always helping me in so many ways,
I’ve... never...
...really been able to do anything for her.
Kisa-chan?!
Kisa-chan!
The medicine should kick in soon.
Yeah,
thank goodness.
I’ll talk with Kiraha about our feelings tonight.
I’m sorry.
Kisa-chan has gone out of her way to do so much for me,
even though she’s uncomfortable around people.
I’m not good around people
because I take their pain as my own.
But, I’m perfectly fine with taking Kiraha-chan’s pain.
It’s like gentle waves on a vast, calm sea,
and make me feel like a little boat floating on the surface.
All I’ve been doing is taking advantage of Kiraha-chan’s kindness,
and so I’ve wanted to help her.
Kisa-chan,
I’m sorry.
Kiraha-chan.
Kisa-chan!
I guess it’s natural for a sibling to feel sad if someone takes the other away from them, huh?
It’s my fault for not realizing it earlier.
How is Kiraha-chan now?
She’s in a rather bad mood, but it seems she’s back to normal.
I see.
Kisa-chan, are you okay?
Yep! I’m fine!
Kisa-chan!
How was it?
Geez!
Kisa-chan, thanks for everything.
Don’t mention it.
I’m all right now.
Huh?
I’m going to forget about my brother.
Kiraha-chan!
But it seems hopeless!
Yeah.
It’s no use.
What do you mean by that?!
Payback!
People’s feelings are like water.
Right now, Kiraha-chan’s heart is filled with sorrow,
but water is something that is always flowing.
It will heal over time.
That’s why there’s no need to force those feelings away right now.
Don’t push yourself...
That’s all I need to do, right?
That’s right.
Just thinking of Onii-chan really makes me mad!
What makes Kiraha-chan mad makes me mad!
Good timing!
I was hoping someone would show up and let me blow off some steam!
It’s the same girls from before?
Fine by me! I’ve got unfinished business with them!
Take this!
I’m really pissed off today!
That’s right!
Like I care about that!
Kiraha!
Kisa-chan.
I’ll leave the rest... to you!
Hmph!
That’s right!
Kiraha-chan.
Owowow!
See? She’s in a bad mood.
Well, she’s her usual self again.
You’re right.
Shall we get started?
Yeah!
This is the swimsuit Kiraha-chan wore!
I’ll treasure it forever!
kioku baraen kaori no mae de chiku chiku to
Before I smell the scent of my rose-scented memories, I feel the prickling of their thorns.
I stab myself, and see the mysteries of the past in the many falling drops.
watashi wo sashite suuteki ochita kako no nazo wo mite
Love me until I fade and wither away to nothing.
iro aseru made, kuchihateru made koi ni shite
It would be cruel if my petals fell, but cruelty is not all bad.
chiru nara zankoku, zankoku ga ii no
Let's have some fun unraveling my unchanging heart.
kawaranai kokoro toite asobimashou
Is the temptation of betrayal is a poison, or a pleasure?
uragiri no yuuwaku wa doku kairaku
I am not lost, oh wait I am, but love me anyway!
mayowanai mayou mayoinagara mo aishite
You cannot get away from me.
anata wa nigedasu koto nado dekinai
Stop it, stop it, stop it!
yamete, yamete, yamete
Even though I enjoyed its beauty in the moment it vanished,
kirei da wa, kieteku shunkan ga suki demo
the fate of this dream is still undecided...
kimetenai no kono yume no unmei wa...
Next Time
Do you want to have a taste, Kisa-chan?
Can I?!
The part where Kiraha-chan took a bite really looks good!
It’s an indirect kiss!
Let me have a taste too.
Mm, it’s good.
W-What do you think you’re doing?!
I can’t take a bite from that spot now!
Kisa-chan?
