Episode 35: Magic Sword VS Sword of Wrath

Jeanne:.....

Mii: Hey hey, isn't there something you should be saying right now.

Jeanne: And what would that be?

Mii: Well, Mii has done her best to help you out, but you've failed every time so far haven't you?

Jeanne:....

Kei: In view of the current state of the war, we cannot help but bring your ability to carry out your duties into question.

Mii: I'm sorry, but I just don't think you're doing a good job.

Kei: Option, concrete plan proposal for the implementation of your mission.

Mii: We're running out of time, aren't we?

Jeanne: I understand my position. I wont make excuses.

Mii: Well, Mii's can just end you if she wants to!

Kei: You are a collaboratorating with us. We are not your friend.

Kei: The result is that we have no cooperative relationship with you. The information and technology that we have provided is not sufficient with the results you have given us, and we have not accepted it.

Mii: Isn't there anyone stronger in Lee Woo? I mean, it's not like there aren't any, is there?

Jeanne: The answers to your questions will be the given by the results of the next operation.

Mii: That's fine. But Mii and Kei won't help you, will we? I wont let Lee Woo help you either.

Jeanne: ........You want me to do it alone?

Mii: Wouldn't it be great if you could help me with this and win?

Kei: We are hoping for a good report.

Jeanne: ......I agree to your terms.

Jeanne: (I know this is my last chance).

Kei: Mission, abduct Rika Furude. Success is the minimum requirement for the continuation of relations with Lee Woo.

Kei: Rika Furude's power is worth more than that.

Mii: Have a good day! I hope you come back!

[Mii and Kei leave]

Jeanne: Hm........They don't want to watch.

Jeanne: It's not worth seeing, is it? I can't believe I've been cheated to that extent...

Jeanne: If I hadn't been forced into such a futile campaign of brute force, I would have won already!

Jeanne: I don't need Lee Woo's support. I just need a strategy to win with the cards I have.

Jeanne: I'll show them what I'm really made of!

[Meanwhile with the group]

Meru: We've arrived at IS Academy!

Houki:......

Hibiki: Huh? Is something wrong, Houki?

Houki: No, I'm just feeling a little nostalgic.

Aria: It hasn't been that long has it?

Houki: It's not so much the time, but the fact that the place I knew hadn't changed that made me feel relieved.

Hibiki: I know what you mean. It's nice to have a place to go home to!

Houki: I can't say for sure if this is the place for me to go home to. But......it's true that I feel that way.

Lingyin: I'm still not used to seeing it, because I was thrown out on my first day. But I can understand some of what Houki is saying.

Houki: I see......

Cecillia: What are you talking about? There's nothing better than sleeping in your own bed!

Usada: Oh so that's why you're always carrying around your favorite pillow with you.

Cecillia: Happiness may be about the small things we take for granted, rather than the exceptional things.

Charl: The operator is also a part of IS. It's not just about the IS maintenance, we need to rest up and be ready for the next battle.

Laura: We have our medical checks before we can relax. Give the IS to the maintenance team and we'll go to the infirmary.

Lingyin: That's right. Isn't a medical check really like a big bed?

Cecillia: Wait what!? We can't sleep in our own bed today?

Charl: According to the schedule, that seems to be the case.

Cecillia: No way! I can't take that!

Houki: You all go on ahead. I'm going to give the Akatsubaki to my sister.

Hibiki: Houki, thank your sister for me!

Houki: ........I'll try.

Hibiki Yeah.

[Later]

Satoko: Houki and the others are taking the day off, what should we do?

Meru: It's nice to have a day off, but it seems a bit of a waste.

Hibiki: Do you want to train? I'll help!

Aria: If we go at you pace everyone will pass out!

Siesta: I would like to go shopping. It's a good opportunity to stock up on food and other daily necessities.

Satoko: I'll join you then! It's a good way to broaden our horizons.

Rika: If Satoko is going, then I'm going too.

Rena: Will there be anything good there? I wonder?

Aria: Is there anything in the city that you wouldn't like Rena? I'm going to look for some peach buns!

Meru: The peach buns we had before were delicious! I'm going to go with you too!

Claude: Don't you want me to go and buy it for you?

Aria: You can carry our bags!

Claude: Yes ma'am....

Claude: (But I think I'm been treated a bit better, aren't I?)

Rika: Shirayuki should come too.

Shirayuki: Yes, but I....

Rika: You don't have to be afraid. Isn't there something you'd like to try?

Shirayuki: Yes, I do but......Am I allowed to say....?

Hibiki: What is it? Please tell us!

Aria: Just so you know, we don't want to go stand under a waterfall or go to an exorcism site!

Shirayuki: No, it's not! I want to try the crepes....Ah I said it!?

Usada: You want to try crepes together? You were being all serious over something like that!?

Rena: hauuuu crepes are so good! They're delicious! Right!

Aria: You can take it home with you if you like.

Rena: Yaaaaaay! Take it home!!

Rika: We can all eat together, it will be fun.

Satoko: Of course we'll be doing spicy crepe russian roulette wont we?

Claude: I can already see how this is going to end for me......

J: (That's what's good about it! Then we aim for a funny, slightly sympathetic position.)

Claude: (Why is that a good position....)

Houki:.....We should have brought Aoi!

Hibiki: Hah That's right Aoi loves spicy food!

Hibiki:.....huh, Houki? What's going on!?

Aria: What about your medical check?

Houki: Well, my sister didn't want to leave it to the school, she said she would do it herself....I had to get away from her.

Satoko: Are you sure that's ok?

Houki: My sister is a mad scientist. She calls it a medical check, but I have no idea what she'll do to me!

Hibiki: She wouldn't go that far would she? She's your sistser.....

Houki: If you had a sister like her, you'd be afraid too.

Shirayuki:.......

Houki: Rather than that, you're going out for the day right? I thought it would be better to have someone who could act as a guide.

Siesta: That's very helpful. I don't really know what they sell in the shops yet.

Houki: Yes, that's right, that's right. So let's go to a place where we can buy something.

Aria: Hmmm. Since when did you become such an outgoing person.

Houki: Don't be rude! Even I can do this much!

Satoko: That's about all the bickering we're going to do, so let's go out.

Houki: Satoko is right. We're leaving!

Rika: I'm looking forward to it. Nipaih*

[The group go to the shopping district]

Houki: It's the biggest shopping mall in the city, you can find almost anything here.

Siesta: Aha! There's a lot of good stuff here! Just be careful not to buy too much!

Rena: Where are the crepes? I wonder?

Houki: Each of us will have our own shopping to do, so we'll be on our own for an hour or so, and then we'll meet up for crepes at the end.

Satoko: I approve!

Hibiki: I also agree!

Usada: An hour would probably only be enough time to try on clothes.

Meru: It takes that long?

Hibiki: It shows your personality. Some people decide straight away, while others get lost.

Houki: Dismissed! We will meet here in one hour.

Everyone: Yeah!

Shirayuki:........

[With Rika and Houki]

Rika: Mii. There are a lot of things I'm seeing here for the first time.

Houki: Are you sure you're fine not going with Satoko?

Rika: Satoko went with Aria to a shady mechanical parts shop.

Rika: Despite appearances, Satoko has a fearful side, which she wants to overcome.

Rika: It isn't good if she needs me or Shion by her side at all times.

Houki: Is that so?

Rika: So why do you keep following me around?

Houki: There's been an increase in crimes targetting children these days, it's very disturbing. Also....

Rika: If they're being targetted is it because of me?

Houki:.....I didn't want to say it, because I thought it would ruin the rest of our day out.

Rika: Thanks for your conern. But, I'm also very aware of these things.

Houki: I see. You aren't very childlike at all. It must be tough.

Rika:....Mii?

Houki: Good! I'm going to get rid of that childishness! Let's go!

Rika: Mii!? You don't need to pull me so hard.

Shirayuki: Wait!

Houki: Mm?

Rika: Shirayuki?

Shirayuki: Where are you taking Rika?

Houki: I've already decided. It's one of the best places I know. Do you want to come too?

Rika: Mii?

Shirayuki: That would be.... Lee Woo!

Rika: Shirayuki?

Shirayuki: Let go of Rika's hand! If you're Houki, you can do that, can't you?

Houki: You want to fight me?! I can't use Akatsubaki because it's undergoing maintenance!

Shirayuki: I understand now.....That's why you chose to impersonate Houki. You wouldn't be suspicious even though you can't use an IS!

Rika: Mii!

Houki:.........

Houki:.....When did you notice?

Shirayuki: When you said you ran away from you sister.

Shirayuki: You seem to know a lot about Houki's relationship with her sister, but you didn't know about her change of heart.

Shirayuki: Everything else was perfect. That's why it stood out!

Houki: Well....It looks like we were right about you.

Houki: You are an excellent student, Shirayuki Hotogi.

Houki: But you know what? I'm still holding Rika Furude. If you so much as move....

Jeanne: In an instant, Rika Furude's arm will be frozen and shattered.

Rika: !?

Shirayuki: Jeanne d'Arc!

Jeanne: Follow me. The moment you do something against me, Rika Furude will be rubble on the ground.

Rika: Shirayuki...Please run away....

Shirayuki: .....Don't worry Rika. Everything will be okay!

Episode 35 The Magic Sword vs The Sword of Wrath

Jeanne: This is a good place to do it.

Shirayuki: What are you going to do with Rika?

Jeanne: Hand her over to the client.

Shirayuki:......You mean those girls called Mii and Kei.

Jeanne: She is very interested in Rika Furude's ability.

Jeanne: However, I am also interested in taking her to Lee Woo and study her closely.

Shiaryuki: Study her!

Jeanne: No matter where she goes, she will still be the subject of the research. So it's up to you to decide...

Shirayuki: Apologise!

Jeanne: What?

Shirayuki: Interesting? Research? Don't be stupid! Apologise to Rika!

Jeanne: You can't escape the power of your birth or your destiny. You know this as well as I do, don't you?

Shirayuki: That's....!

Jeanne: It is a gift that no ordinary person can possess. Once its existence is known, it is impossible to live without being targeted.

Jeanne: You can't save people by pitying them.

Shirayuki But...!!

Jeanne: I've brought you here because I think you are qualified to be in Lee Woo.

Jeanne: Come with me, Shirayuki. You can become a shining jewel if you polish your power.

Shirayuki: Jeanne!

Rika:.......

Rika: There's nothing to be worried about.

Shirayuki: Rika?

Rika: Shirayuki wants to fight and win. I'm a princess who is waiting to be rescued. Nipaih*

Jeanne: Making a joke in this situation....

Rika: I wont run and hide. If Shirayuki loses, I will follow you without resisting.

Rika: But if you keep using me as a hostage, I will give up my life for Shirayuki. She wont stop fighting until she is dead.

Shirayuki: Rika...Don't do it!!

Rika: Shirayuki.....don't run away from your power, from your destiny. I....

Rika: I've decicded to fight alongside everyone.

Shirayuki: !!

Jeanne:.......

Rika: If you don't want to go home empty handed, you'll have to fight Shirayuki and make her surrender. Can you do that?

Heanne: I'm sorry......but Shirayuki Hotogi has neither the strength nor the understanding to fight me.

Shirayuki: Don't worry! I accept the duel, Jeanne d'Arc!

Jeanne:.......!

Jeanne: .....Good. Is the meaning of a duel too difficult for you?

Shirayuki: I think I understand.....More than you!

Shirayuki: Wait for me Rika! I will definitely win!

Victory: Defeat Jeanne. Defeat: Shirayuki is defeated.

(Note: If you defeat Jeanne before turn 2 ally and enemy reinforcements will arrive but the stage will end before you get to fight any of them)

[Defeat Jeanne or reach turn 2]

[Deploy]

Siesta: Rika! Shirayuki!

Shirayuki: Everyone!

Usada: We got worried when you didn't come back!

Hibiki: We'll help you now! Please wait for us!

Jeanne: I'll give this to anyone who dares to interfere in a duel.

[Enemies spawn]

Hibiki: Uh, thats a lot!!

Usada: What a mess!

Jeanne: That's it. Let's continue!

Shirayuki: That's what I want!

[Kei appears]

Kei:........

Rika: Ah!

Jeanne: Wha!? What are you doing here!?

Kei: Warning, there is a serious error in the mission. Corrections required.

[A new enemy appears]

Shirayuki: !?

Jeanne: Bastard! How dare you interrupt our duel!

Kei: Dueling, incomprehension. Mission completion, obstacle identified.

[Kei vanishes]

Jeanne: Don't fuck with me!!

???: Heh, I've never seen you so emotional before.

Shirayuki: That voice!?

[Aria comes out of the forest]

Aria: I was planning to hide until I saw an oppoertunity to grab Rika, but the situation has changed.

Aria: I'll shoot down these guys, so continue your duel.

Shirayuki: Right!

Jeanne: Aria H Kanzaki......Thank you.

Aria:.....Hm.

[Defeat Jeanne]

Jeanne: Ku!

Shirayuki: Jeanne, you can't escape now.....No, I won't let you escape.

Jeanne: I have no intention of running from you, this duel isn't over!

Shirayuki: Yes, it is. You are about to see the forbidden arts that the other shrine maiden's have kept hidden within themselves.

Jeanne: Oh?

Shirayuki: I... No, we Hotogi priestesses have inherited the power and name of our ancestors for almost 2000 years.

Shirayuki: Shirayuki is simply a false name to hide my true one. My real name is...

Shirayuki: Scarlet Miko, Namely...Himiko!

Jeanne: Fire!? There's a flame on her sword!?

Shirayuki: Jeanne, ready your sword!

[Shirayuki attacks Jeanne]

Shirayuki: Hotogi Secret Art: Double Scarlet God of the Hotogi!

Jeanne: That's impossible!? Durandal, has been broken!!

Shirayuki: So, do you want to continue?

Jeanne:.......

[Stage end]

Aria: Durandal, you're under arrest!

Jeanne: I wont resist.

Jeanne: I may have been watching Shirayuki Hotogi right to the end.

Jeanne: Article 9 of the Butei code states that Bueti cannot kill people. Therefore, Shirayuki could not strike me with a fatal blow.

Jeanne: I, who fight with the understanding that I will not accept defeat even if I am killed, cannot be defeated by an opponent who does not intend to kill me. I never thought it could be settled in this way.

Shirayuki: Haa, haa, haa.....

[Shirayuki collapses]

Siesta: Shirayuki! Are you alright!?

Shirayuki: I don't......have any energy left.....

Jeanne: However, there is one thing that is not clear to me. Even with the power of the Forbidden Arts, but how could she fight on equal terms with me, someone with so much experience?

Rika: Jeanne.

Aria: Rika! I've handcuffed her, but it's not safe to go near her!

Rika: It's all right, I'd like to talk to her in private. Nipaih*

[Rika takes Jeanne aside]

Jeanne: What do you want to say?

Rika: Since Shirayuki is tired, i will teach you instead.

Rika: Listen to me, Jeanne d'Arc, the 30th.

Rika: There have been 30 Jeanne d'Arcs across 600 years, for 1/6 of that time, 100 years, I have been dying over and over again. Do you believe me?

Jeanne: What do you mean?

Rika: I am sure you know a little about Hinamizawa. The loop is generated by my death.

Jeanne: What did you say?

Rika: I have been dying for 100 years. I don't even know how many times It's happened anymore.

Jeanne: The power to go travel back in time, It isn't something you can use at will?

Rika: I have no proof. But Shirayuki believed in me. And she cried for me because she felt the weight of it.

Rika: She, too, bears the weight of the Hotogi's power passed down over 2000 years.

Jeanne:........

Rika: Your opponent was not a diamond in the rough, who didn't understand her power. So there is no shame in your defeat.

Jeanne: I now understand why the holy sword was broken. And the secret to your strength, which has always been a mystery to me, is.......

Rika: That's right.....good.

[The group return to IS Academy]

Aria: Rika, what were you talking about with Jeanne?

Rika: I was told that Escargot was really good.

Aria: You can't expect me to believe you with that look on your face.

Rika: It's a secret between the two of us. Nipaih*

Aria: At any rate.....Jeanne will be sent out to the police via the Butei High Command, when the IS maintenance is finished, we'll move out.

Rika: Okay. Will Shirayuki be better by then?

Aria: You don't need to worry about that. Using our powers will sap our energy, but as long as she rests, she'll will be fine.

Aria: You know how much spiritual training Shirayuki has had as a shrine maiden, right Rika?

Rika: Then I can rest easy.

[Meanwhile with the IS team]

Charl: The medical check is finally over.

Lingyin: We're all healthy physically and mentally! Everything is fine! That's the way it should be!

Houki:.......

Laura: Akatsubaki, It's problems haven't been solved yet.

Houki: Yeah, The poor energy efficiency doesn't seem to be helping at the moment.

Charl: It's the price of high performance.

Houki: For the time being, I have no choice but to use it as it is. All I have to do is to do it well!

Lingyin: That's the most suspicious thing of all.......

Houki: Don't say it! .....Well, what about Cecilia?

Lingyin: Uh, over there.

Cecillia: Hwaa......I haven't slept enough....
