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

Original Translation: Froth-Bite Edited by: Zalis
It all happened one beautiful, clear night with a full moon.
All right, be sure to read more of it to me tomorrow, Onii-chan.
Promise, okay?
Sure.
Now begins our pinky promise.
If you break it, you have to go on an all-day date with me!
The pact is made!
Kiraha...
What is it?
Onii-chan!
What? What IS this?!
We got wrapped up in a series of really strange events.
Save our world!
Don’t let the wonderful stories be destroyed!
Open the doors to the stories!
Those who have been chosen have the keys.
Hurry to the castle!
I’m supposed to save this world?
I’m late, I’m late!
Wrong way!
Who are you?
Me?
Open the doors to the stories.
Those who have been chosen have the keys.
You mean, you heard that too?
Yeah! And so did my sister...
That’s right, Kiraha! Kiraha?!
What a pathetic face you have.
Y-Yeah.
Well, it looks like you’ve got something valuable there.
Um...
Thank you.
You’re welcome.
How long are you going to stay on me?!
Uh, um...
Sorry!
W-Wait!
M-My back!
I-I won’t forget this!
It’s like a meeting decided by fate!
Oh no! Thunder?
Yeah, and the weather was so great just a bit ago.
It looks like rain.
You’re probably right.
But the rain isn’t water, it’s candy?!
What’s going on?
If nothing else, let’s get away from here.
W-Why can’t I go forward?!
This isn’t the way I want to go!
Let’s get out of here for now, Kisa-chan!
Right!
Somebody!
Kiraha!
Onii-chan! Thank goodness!
Are you hurt?
No.
Who’s she?
Arisugawa-san. She’s our friend.
Nice to meet you.
N-Nice to meet you too.
This place...
It seems that a day is extremely short right here.
I can’t sleep like this!
What’s going on here?
It seems some kind of power is causing strange things to happen everywhere.
It’s rather interesting.
Who are you?
Yo.
Hey, you’ve got one too!
If we want to return to our own world...
...it looks like we’ll have to go through that place.
All right, let’s go!
I’ll leave you to it.
This world is very relevant to my interests.
Do be sure to be careful.
Hmph! Guess I have no choice.
I’ll help you guys get across.
Please do!
Let’s go.
Man, it’s going to rain today!
I don’t really think it’s going to rain.
Shut up, you dolt!
It extends in reaction to a lie.
That’s great.
How weird.
It sure is.
A monster has appeared!
How cute!
No!
Save us!
Hurry! Get out of here!
Andersen.
Key of Flames, grant me my wishes!
Dance of the Dragon Lord!
How cool!
Here again?
I need to figure out how to get out of here before I can do any research.
It’s a gingerbread house!
You’re right!
The sponge cake from the wall is fluffy, but not too sweet.
The chocolate wafers from the roof are bitter and rich,
and the natural sweetness of the window candy is just superb!
Oh, Aruto-kun, you’ve got something stuck on your face.
There, it’s okay now.
Thank you.
You’re welcome.
Oh please, he’s blushing and everything!
Kiraha-chan?
Onii-chan, save me!
Oh?
I’m glad we could meet again. Now I can teach you some manners.
Let Kiraha go!
You think you’re so tough. Now I’ll show you...
...just what happens to those who oppose me!
Brace yourselves!
Kisa-chan, Arisu-chan!
Onii-chan!
Do it!
No!
Stop this!
Don’t tell me we’re...
We’re right back where we started.
No way...
Uh, um...
Moya-san.
Looks like you didn’t make it to the castle after all.
Yeah.
Well...
That’s it! I have an idea!
That’s it, that’s it! Yippie, yippie!
Yippie!
Anyway, we need to extend it a great distance to reach the castle, don’t we?
What kind of lie could get us to the castle in one shot?
It’s no use!
I really hate my brother!
What?
I hate him, hate him, hate him!
I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really,
really hate him!
All right!
No way!
We’re going so fast!
We’re almost at the castle!
We’re going to hit it!
Everyone, hold on!
I-It seems like...
...it was a success.
That was great, Kiraha-chan!
Onii-chan!
Kiraha?
It was a lie, you know?
I really love you a whole, whole, whole, whole bunch!
I know already!
Onii-chan.
Look!
The king and queen.
How terrible!
Save them! Hurry!
The wonderful stories are disappearing!
You two!
All right, my turn!
There!
The key doesn’t fit.
But who else would have a key?
Kirika-san!
That’s right! There’s no doubt about it! If only she’d come with us!
Kirika-san!
You called?
Kirika-san!
Yo.
Hey! Can anyone get me out of here?
Why don’t ya let me take a look in your stomach?
It was a rather interesting experience. Either way, it’s a good thing we met up again.
Let’s go!
I thought I’d get to transform too.
Please, hurry!
Save us! Hurry!
Return our world to normal!
It looks like you really came back.
What fools.
My back!
N-No way...
Why?!
Logically and scientifically speaking, resurrected monsters are proven to be weak.
Thanks to all of you, this world has been saved.
We are in your debt.
No, it was nothing.
Thank you so much,
oh brave and wonderful heroes!
As a token of our deepest appreciation,
I shall give you this.
Well...
A lot of things have happened, but it was a lot of fun overall!
It’s like, how do I put this, I became the hero in a story.
It really is.
It seems your time here is now over.
Thank you so much, all of you.
Live your life as happily as you can!
And so the five returned to their world safely.
And they all lived happily ever after.
It’s not even nine o’clock.
There we go.
Onii-chan,
I love you.
Good night, Kiraha.
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...
