Episode 6: Triple Arrow


Translated by Arctic Passerine

The rampaging Jizu followed Yuuki and the others out of the village.

Jizu
Roaaaar!

Shiori
What strong gusts... Just from the Jizu beating its wings... Hah!

Shiori fires an arrow at the Jizu.

Jizu
Roaaaar!

Shiori
My arrows can't reach it through all of this wind!

Hatsune
Ha ha... That bird sure is angry, huh...

Shiori
We need to come up with a plan of some kind...

The group runs to the base of a mountain.

Hatsune
Hah, hah... Are the two of you okay?

Shiori
Y-Yes... I'm... fi...

Hatsune
Shiori! We've been running nonstop as we've been talking... Should we take a rest?

Shiori
No, I'm all right... There's only one monster left... But this last one is no ordinary one...

Shiori
With all the wind coming from its wings, a shot with a normal arrow won't reach it. It's so much stronger than the ones we've face up until now... What do we do...

Jizu
Roaaaar!

Hatsune & Shiori
Eeeek!

Hatsune
S-Shiori! I'll power up your shots with my magic! That should overcome the wind, right!?

Shiori
B-But, big sister! I won't be able to steady my aim in these gusts! And if I miss my shot, the Jizu will be free to attack us!

Hatsune
No way! Then, what can we do...

Yuuki
1. "I'll take the book and act as a decoy."

Hatsune
No, you can't!

Shiori
I agree, that would be far too dangerous! If we need a decoy, it should be me...

Yuuki
1. "It'll be all right."
2. "Trust me."

Option 1.

Shiori
... Yuuki... I understand... But, make absolutely sure not to push yourself too far...

Option 2.

Hatsune
Yuuki... All right, I'll trust you! B-But, you'd better run if it gets dangerous! I don't want you to die!

Begin battle sequence.

Shiori
Yuuki! Here's the book! Just buy me a little time! Big sister, get ready!

Hatsune
Yeah! Leave it all to Hatsune! Kiraaa-n!

Shiori
The bookmark is all set... I'm taking aim!

Hatsune
I'll start charging you up! Yuuki, hang in there just a little longer...

Jizu
Roaaaar!

Shiori
No! Yuuki! Big sister, this is bad! The Jizu is coming towards us!

Hatsune
What!? I'm not done charging up my spell yet!

Shiori
(What do we do...!?)

Yuuki
1. "Use my power!"

Hatsune
W-W-Whoa! I feel so much power in me, all of a sudden! Is this because of Yuuki!?

Shiori
I'm relieved that you're unharmed... Thank you, this should be enough!

Shiori
Big sister!

Hatsune
My magic's all charged up!

Hatsune
Go, Shiori!

Shiori
This... will finish it!

Hatsune
Witness our full power!

Hatsune & Shiori
Here goes!

Shiori fires. A bolt of light hits the Jizu.

Jizu
Roaaaar!

Hatsune
Direct hit!

Shiori
Our combined powers won't be stopped by any wind!

Jizu
Roaaaar!

Shiori
The sealing spell...

Shiori
It's... complete.

Hatsune
Yes... Yes, yes! That was awesome, Shiori! Did you see, just now!?

Hatsune
Your arrow and my magic went pew-pew! Awesome, awesome, awesome!

Shiori
Yes, and all because you and Yuuki were here, too... Thank you, truly. With this, the book should have gone back to normal... Huh?

Hatsune
What's up, Shiori?

Shiori
No way... The arrow flew so far away, I won't be able to retrieve it... And the bookmark was attached to that arrow...

Hatsune
... Ahhhh!

Shiori
W-What do we do, big sister -- if we can't get that bookmark back, the monsters will come out again!

Hatsune
L-Leave it to me, Shiori! Your big sister will get that arrow back in a flash!

Hatsune teleports away.

Shiori
Ah! Big sister! ... She's gone...

Shiori
But... Does she know where it went?

Scene: A field in the countryside.

Hatsune
Waah! Teleporting is great and all, but where's the bookmark!?

After that, Hatsune was stuck looking frantically for the bookmark for some time.
