There's still more of them...
We finally made it all this way, but still...
At this rate everyone is going to get pulled into the void.
Sis...
You and I are the only ones left.
But...
we cannot let ourselves succumb to this!
We're the very last hope this planet has!
Sis, you're right.
There are only two left!
Careful! We've got something inbound!
What the?!
No!
Sis!
Sis?
What a relief...
Where are we?
This must be somewhere between the worlds connected to the Holy Tree.
But we can't remain here long.
Huh? Someone is calling to me...
Sis, what are you doing?
I want you to take the very last of my power.
No! Stop!
I wanted to save everyone...
Keep everyone happy...
Keep you happy...
No! No please, stop!
Be a ray of hope...
March on towards the future.
And find friends who will walk the path with you...
Sis!
What's that light?
You've been through many hardships, haven't you?
Who are you?!
Where am I?
I'm Botan Kamine.
This is the Shinjugamine Girl's School.
Shinjugamine Girl's School...?
That's impossible!
It would seem there is much I must ask you about.
Would you tell me your name?
I'm...
Now among the stars that stretch as far as the eye can see, find the constellation of your dreams
Bring your hearts together and someday it will come true
Are you ready to run for it?
The road is long, but you've got your friends with you
Instead of just making faces and worrying
Just go in head-first with a smile
As hearts cross even in mere passing
They will grow into deeper bonds
Bring them together as one and find the power to take on the future
Now look up to the stars as far as the eye can see and keep chasing that dream
That outreached hand will encourage you not to give up
No matter how many hundreds of tries it takes, you're not alone
You can do it, look up, there's surely a starry sky
Your dreams will come true
Episode 11 Truth
I'm not from this world.
I'm a Hoshimori member from another dimension.
I should apologize.
It was just such an unprecedented situation that I could not find the words to explain.
So she's from another dimension...?
That's a bit much to take in all of a sudden...
I don't really get it.
Yes, but she was chosen by the Holy Tree.
Take this!
She didn't simply seem to know how to fight them, she truly did.
Does this mean she's from like a parallel world?
What's that?
Some call them parallel dimensions.
For example, let's say Miki is walking around, and she comes to a fork in the road.
Okay.
Then let's say she goes to the left,
and she meets up with Subaru and Haruka and they have a good time.
Now, what would have happened if she had gone right instead?
Huh?
She would then run into Itsuki and get pulled away for some afterschool training.
Aww man...
This is merely an example.
What I mean is, the world itself is split by these options and decisions.
Of course, we can't know what happens in these other alternate worlds.
If I could run into Kaede, I'd go right!
Oh Mimi.
So it's just like different story branches in video games, then.
Games, huh...
I'm not sure if I understand more or maybe even less now...
Back in my world, we didn't have a "Judgment Day".
What?!
Truth is, we did face an Irous invasion.
But the members of Hoshimori successfully fought them back.
So as you can see, Misaki's world and ours are quite different.
Our two worlds may have branched off from one another long ago.
So that Miki we saw back there...
Was she a version of Miki from another world?
My sister put all her faith in me and sent me to this world...
So that explains your behavior when we all first met.
Yeah...
Okay, I think I kind of get it now.
But I still don't really understand these parallel worlds or whatever.
But we've already seen this new enemy, and we have Misaki right here in front of us.
Indeed, instead of worrying about what we should or should not believe,
what we should be concerned about is how to deal with the threat at hand.
The threat, huh...
I don't really get it, but I'll do what I can!
This will certainly be tough.
Misaki, can we run through everything one last time?
You're not from this world, but from another.
Yes.
Your world lost the power of the Holy Tree,
Hoshimori lost their powers,
and the world came to an end.
That is correct.
Misaki...
And I believe what is powering my sister and the others here in this world now is...
the Holy Tree from my world that lost its light and fell into darkness,
the Wicked Tree.
Ms. President, could this Wicked Tree have made it to our world?
It would seem most probable.
Urara, are you following all this?
I don't get it...
What happened is some bad people came from some other place so we need to fight them.
Yeah, if we all work together...
But...
We'll be fighting against Misaki's sister, won't we?
Yeah, and the Hoshimori team from her world...
Do you think we can beat them?
Do you think it's even okay to...?
Sadone...
Let's leave it at that for now.
Us teachers will come up with a plan about how we should handle this.
You girls should stay on alert back at the dorms.
Got it?
Got it...
Oh, I truly have gotten my hands on the greatest of toys.
I had almost forgotten the fragrance here.
Who goes there?
Who would dare summon me again?
Oh, my...
Would you imagine that, a long since forgotten toy is back to grant me chaos.
The Hoshimori of one world will now fight another.
One Hoshimori team that has fallen to darkness.
And one that yet believes in the light....
What a marvelous game!
Now, my Hoshimori girls, preparations are almost in order.
Grant me, oh grant me the enjoyment I crave.
Itsuki Yakumo (Teacher)
Furan Mitsurugi (Teacher)
I'm sorry.
For keeping this a secret all this time.
No, you don't even have to worry about it.
I don't think I would have known what to do if I was you, either.
Still, I lied to everyone, it's true.
No way, you didn't!
Hey, Misaki.
Instead of keeping it all pent up, you could talk it out with me you know.
I know I might not be the biggest help, but...
Yeah, thanks.
But...
right now, I just want to be alone.
Misaki...
Everyone seemed really taken aback by it all, hmm?
Yeah. And I imagine it had quite a harsh impact on Misaki herself.
We've got to do something for her.
Ms. President,
you said the Holy Tree brought her here?
I am quite sure that is the case.
She has said nearly as much herself,
and she quite literally appeared right before the Tree itself.
Do you think after she came here to our world
that this Wicked Tree used the same tunnel to follow her here?
Not at all.
How do you know?
If that were the case, the Holy Tree surely would not have let that evil power through with her.
But then why is it here now?
If there are infinite parallel worlds, why did it come here?
It's a bit too much to right off as simple coincidence.
Our Holy Tree answered the prayers of Misaki and her sister.
And if that's true, we must imagine that the opposite could also be true.
The opposite?
The Wicked Tree may also be answering the evil desires of someone from our world.
I'm Misaki. Salutations.
Thanks for saving Sadone!
I merely took down the Irous.
Glad you're all right.
Huh?
That was a good hit.
You! You're not the real Kurumi!
Now then, you!
It's time to die!
Misaki?!
Ready? We only have one shot!
Okay, do it!
Here goes!
What is it? What's-
...wrong?
Why...? How could this happen?
That's really good!
Okay then, have some of mine!
You dare to run amok in our village?
You insolent beast!
Your deeds cannot go unpunished!
It's so good!
Mom's sweet curry is THE best!
It's great.
Oh, I'm so happy! Feel free to have seconds, okay?
Oh, yes. The food at school is good,
but this has that real home-style goodness to it.
It's like food for the soul.
Oh, Miku? Sorry I couldn't answer your calls.
Jeez, I was so worried about you!
You just took off all of a sudden...
Sorry, sorry!
So, are you and Misaki okay?
Yeah. We're okay, I guess.
What's that supposed to mean?
I mean, I guess that's good, but...
Anyway! We've still got lots of Mom's special curry leftover,
so hurry on home, okay?
Okay! Thanks Miku. Buh-bye.
Misaki!
Sis, I've been all alone since I woke up in this world.
Misaki! It was my own fault that I lost you, and I couldn't forgive myself for it.
I didn't want to lose anyone else.
I didn't want to depend on anyone.
Misaki! Can you hear us?
I just wanted to get stronger all on my own.
Misaki! I just wanted to get stronger all on my own.
But you know what?
Despite all that, I found people who taught me the importance of working together.
Misaki! Despite all that, I found people who taught me the importance of working together.
Through them even I found something I now want to fight to protect.
Misaki! Through them even I found something I now want to fight to protect.
That's why, Sis...
if it's because of me, because of us, that the people here are now in danger...
Then I will be the one that puts a stop to you!
No matter what becomes of me for it!
What? Those hooded girls again?!
The very same. I need you to hurry.
Misaki is fighting them all alone!
Now where did all that vigor disappear to?
Still, I'd hate to end this lovely sisterly performance quite so soon...
Now then, let the life escape out of you at the hands of your very own sister.
Sis...
It's my fault this happened to you...
It must have been so hard for you.
Hmm?
This might not get me anywhere.
But it doesn't matter anymore...
I'm sorry. I couldn't be that ray of hope.
But at least this time I'll go with you...
I'm sorry, everyone.
No!
Are you okay, Misaki?
Why...?
You idiot! It's because we're friends!
Ever since you joined us, we've gotten through all the tough stuff together, haven't we?
This is no different than that.
Miki...
So, let's do this together!
Let's get your sister back!
Misaki!
I don't think we've paid you back for saving us back at our concert!
We're truly thankful for that.
I still didn't thank you for helping me with that big spider either!
One cannot repay kindness with negligence now can they?
Now listen here, Misaki! How many times have I said not to go off alone?
Just when we thought you'd changed here you are again!
Misaki, you saved me before.
Now it's my turn to save you!
Indeed!
Girls...
Sounds like everyone's on the same page.
It seems so!
Yup! Misaki, have some faith in us!
If we all work together there's nothing that can stop us!
Thank you...
Yes, what charming friendship indeed...
Tell me, will you still feel the same after seeing this I wonder?
What the?!
Abnormality detected
We're getting abnormalities on all of our Holy Tree readings!
The miasma is getting denser and denser too.
This is bad! At this rate...
Girls! What on Earth is going on over there?!
There's this big turtle...
There! The Wicked Tree is in there!
What?!
Let's go, Asuha!
Right! Misaki, your celestial suit!
Roger!
Let's do this, Misaki!
Yeah!
Hoshimori Class, move out!
Roger!
Things should be moving, but they feel stopped
I contemplate alone, pretending to understand
But with the end of each twinkle reason draws away
Reflected in my pupils as running noise
Consciousness trapped away in a lonely rondeau
When it's held up, make your escape
And let us perform together
There's no one to decide but you yourself
Whether right or wrong, it will all start to seem fine
One over the other, if you believe it will come true someday
The blank music score will be filled with a one of a kind
Ring out melody
What's with this terrible miasma?
Those black hoods, they're stronger than we thought!
Misaki, we've got to make it to that Wicked Tree!
Next time: "Bonds"!
Next Episode Bonds Leave it to me! Woof!
We'll show you the bonds that tie Hoshimori together!
You just watch!
