Episode 4: Revival of the Piercing Spear
Episode 4: Revival of the Piercing Spear
Meru: …In short, Magical Yo-Yo is an old-fashioned sport that uses strike techniques with special equipment.
Meru: Being partnered with evolving weapons, the fighting style with roots in assassination techniques can fight against many opponents.
Hibiki: Ooh~. I don’t really get it, but I think I’m getting the gist of what you’re saying.
Meru: And then, and then, some of the advance techniques that originate from an ancient civilization also mix magic with them.
Claude: Even though she is that shy, somehow they’re getting along very well…
Hibiki: Ne, Meru-chan. To meet at this completely unknown world, don’t you feel its kinda like fate?
Hibiki: I think it’s amazing that we became friends!
Meru: Um, if you are okay with me…
Hibiki: Same here, please treat me kindly!
Meru: Yes!
Hibiki: Ehehe, I’m glad.
Meru: Now that I think about it, what was the job that Hibiki-san talked about?
Hibiki: Eh…?
Meru: Your clothes are a school uniform right? What kind of job do you do?
Hibiki: Aaah~, t-that’s…
Meru: A secret…?
Hibiki: Um…
[Rem returns]
Rem: Thanks for waiting, everyone. I just got back with talking with those from the police station.
Hibiki: Welcome back, Rem-san! Did you happen to find a clue?
Rem: In conclusion, the headless corpse was there before even those dream demons appeared at that time.
Rem: To make it short, the dream demons involved with 'Outbreak of People Sleeping on the Road Phenomenon' case were not responsible.
Hibiki: Sounds like an awful case now…The person doesn’t feel responsible for their crime…
Meru: S-So cruel…
Rem: The criminal should be considered very dangerous. Most likely, they don’t even think about much about committing murder.
Rem: (Even with my knowledge about this, I don’t think I can narrow it down to a possible suspect whose that dangerous.)
Meru: Rem-san, um….about the ‘person finding’ case I asked you about?
Rem: Ah, it seems that Meru-chan’s sensei isn’t on this world, though there hasn’t been absolute confirmation about that though because of that unique description.
Meru: Uuuu~~, that’s a shame…
Rem: But, with that description, Detective Sakaki and I will be on the lookout for such a unique person. When we do find her, we’ll try to arrange for you two to meet.
Meru: Thank you very much!
Hibiki: I’m glad for you, Meru-chan!
Rem: Anyway, I better start since there’s a lot to investigate. This is going to be an intense investigation.
Rem: Hibiki-chan, the place where you appeared on this world, do you know where it is?
Hibiki: Yes! In order to not get lost, I remembered the location properly, but I don’t remember anything else.
Rem: Well, that won’t diminish the value. So, let’s start the investigation.
[Scene change]
Meru: There doesn’t seem to be anything here.
Rem: …Hmmm. There doesn’t seem to be clues here, though I had expected there be at least traces here…
Claude: In the first place, to find something that gives off light…
Rem: There doesn’t seem to be a trace of light here. Though it would have been nice to see that phenomenon.
Meru: …Hmm? Hibiki-san, did you say something?
Hibiki: Eh? I didn’t say anything?
Meru: I can hear a strange sound.
Hibiki: Eeh~, maybe I’m hungry again? That’s embarrassing~.
Claude: Even though you ate that much, you’re still hungry?
Rem: It seems like it isn’t the sound of Hibiki-chan being hungry.
[Noise appear]
Noise: …!
Hibiki: T-That’s the Noise!?
Hibiki: This can’t be!? Why!?
Rem: Why you!!
[Rem attempts to attack the Noise but doesn’t cause damage.]
Noise: …
Rem: It took a hit from the silver bullets but it didn’t fall!? So it isn’t a demon?
Hibiki: Please fall back, Rem-san!
[Hibiki moves ahead]
Meru: Hibiki-chan, it’s dangerous!
Hibiki: Um! It seems like I’ll be paying back the favor for the food sooner than expected!
Rem: Eh?
[Battle Map]
[Light of Transformation]
Hibiki: Alright, I can do it.
Meru: That’s…!?
Hibiki: HAAAAAAAA!!
Claude: She’s singing…!
Hibiki: Meru-chan, sorry for not saying anything before! This is what my job is!
Hibiki: That is the Noise. My Symphogear, Gungnir, is meant to fight these enemies! Everyone, runaway!
Meru: I-I-I will also fight!
Hibiki: No, don’t!
Meru: Um~, Hibiki-chan’s Barrier Song will protect us, right?
Hibiki: Eh? Why do you know that?
Rem: This doesn’t seem like the time to talk. They’re coming!
[Battle Start]
[When Meru’s attack hits the Noise]
Meru: Alright! It works!
Hibiki: Wah, it’s true! Meru-chan is strong! Huh? Wait, that’s strange…
Hibiki: Even with the effectiveness of the Barrier Song, why are the Noise receiving damage not from a Symphogear…???
Meru: I’ll use these yo-yos to settle things with these lovely creatures, but I don’t want to…
Meru: No, no! But I still got to do it!
Hibiki: Hm?
Hibiki: (Seems like Meru-chan doesn’t want to fight…?)
Meru: Mugugugugu…With my hissatsu technique, I’ll at least send you all to Heaven!!
Hibiki: (I don’t get what’s going on, but she’s really fired up!?)
[After several Noise enemies are defeated]
Hibiki: We should be able to finish at this rate!
Rem: Yes, though we seem to have a guest.
[Black Sonico appears]
???(Black Sonico): Fufufu…
Claude: Um…Hmm? Where did I see…?
Meru: Ah~~! I recognize those headphones!
Rem: However that girl’s presence feels wrong…She has the appearance of a doppelganger, it seems?
Hibiki: Is that a human…?
???(Black Sonico): Today’s photo shoot, let’s do our best? Fufufu…
Hibiki: No! Don’t hesitate, do what you can! Me!
[Battle Continues] [After Black Sonico takes a certain amount of damage]
???(Black Sonico): Well, see you later?
[Black Sonico retreats]
Hibiki: (Thank goodness, it ended…)
Rem: She ran away, huh…however we still got our hands full here.
[Battle finished]
Rem: Fuu, we should feel relieved?
Hibiki: We managed to safely defeat them all! Sei!!
Meru: Hawawawa, what is that pose?
Hibiki: In martial arts terms it is called zanshin(relaxed alertness), I do this so I don’t immediately relax, though it’s also cool…ehehe~
Hibiki: Give it a try Meru-chan, it feels good!
Meru: Eh? Me?
Hibiki: I want to see you try it out. Please have a go!
Meru: Uuu~, it’s embarrassing so that’s impossible!!
Rem: Even so it’s surprising, for Hibiki-chan to have the kind of power.
Hibiki: I’m sorry I couldn’t reveal it until now. That power is a classified secret…
Hibiki: But why does Meru-chan know about the song(Barrier Song)? Singing while fighting would normally be surprising…
Meru: Huh? I didn’t say that I heard it from Tsubasa-san?
Hibiki: Tsubasa-san? You mean Kazanari, Tsubasa-san, you heard it from her!?
Meru: That’s right, before meeting Hibiki-san…
[Some time passes for explanation]
Hibiki: …Fumufumu. So you came together with Tsubasa-san to this world.
Rem: Though they haven’t contacted us yet, they said they would come to the office right?
Meru: It’s taking too long to contact us, it couldn’t be because of Noel causing problems, this is makes me feel uneasy…
Rem: Could it be that after splitting up, they could be busy with something?
Hibiki: Let’s go meet them! I really want to meet up with Tsubasa-san!
Claude: Could it be because of that light possibly taking them somewhere else…?
[Light appears]
Hibiki: Hahaha, you must be joking.
Hibiki: Eh, huh!?
Claude: I-Is it because I said something strange…?
Meru: Rem-san, run away! Before you get taken to a weird world!
Rem: (Leaving me behind? No, in order to solve this mystery…!)
Rem: …Well, might as well see this myself. A thrill, an adventure, I don’t dislike it♪
[Light takes them away]
