Episode 6: Brilliance Illuminating the Night Sky


Translated by Arctic Passerine

Translation notes

[1] "Tamaya!" and "Kagiya!" are two words that can traditionally be shouted at Japanese fireworks shows to express enthusiasm. In the 1700s, when fireworks were first becoming widespread in Japan, two of the first major fireworks vendors were family businesses in Edo (modern-day Tokyo) bearing the names Tamaya (玉屋) and Kagiya (鍵屋). A rivalry developed between the two businesses, and patrons would shout "Tamaya!" or "Kagiya!" at fireworks displays to show their support for either side. Nowadays, the rivalry aspect is mostly irrelevant, but the tradition remains.

On the nighttime beach, a horde of plushies had surrounded Yuuki and the others. Their fight with the majimun was beginning.

Kaori
Boo!

Plushies
......!

Makoto
B-Boo?

Plushies
......?

Kaori
Makoto! Put your belly into it! You won't be scaring any souls away with that!

Makoto
That "boo" was pretty loud!

Makoto
Hey, you!

Plushies
......!

Maho
Makoto, Kaori! There are too many of them -- we'll be done for before we finish scaring them off one by one!

Maho
We should simply attack them...

Makoto
We can't do that!

Kaori
We can't!

Makoto
I've seen how much you care for all of them every day!

Kaori
We've got to save them just the way they are now!

Maho
... You are all truly so kind.

Maho
I must help, too. Mister Prince, please look after Arthur and the others.

Yuuki
1. "I've got it."

Maho
Thank you.

Kaori
Maho! They went that way!

Maho
Mister Prince, watch out!

Maho
... Why are they moving so strangely? They suddenly swerved towards Mister Prince...?

Yuuki
1. "The majimun are attracted to good-natured souls."

Maho
Then, the one they're after is...!

Arthur
......

Lancelot & Gawain
......

Maho
... Now I see.

Maho
We will be at a disadvantage if we have to go on fighting in the dark. I must do something about this.

Maho
I had meant for this to be a pleasant vacation for everyone, but all they've been doing is helping me.

Maho
We haven't been able to make any memories of this summer we spent together at all.

Maho
As the guild master of Kaon, this is unacceptable, is it not?

Maho
Mister Prince, I'm sorry for saddling you with so many responsibilities. Could you return Arthur and the others to me?

Yuuki
1. "What are you planning to do?"

Maho
I'm planning to do this!

Makoto
Wha!? Hey, Princess, don't run off on your own like that!

Kaori
Maho! Watch out!?

Maho
Are these children the ones you want!? Then, come and get them!

Plushies
......!

Makoto
Damn, they're going all at once...!

Kaori
We won't make it!

Maho
Everyone. Can my feelings reach you?

Maho
If good-natured souls truly reside within you, then hear my plea...!

Plushies
......!

Makoto
Princess!

Kaon
Maho!

Plushies
......

Maho
......

Makoto
......? Hey, they're acting weird.

Kaori
The plushies have stopped moving?

Lancelot & Gawain
......

Arthur
......

Maho
Lancelot, Gawain, Arthur...!

Makoto
Lancelot and the others are floating... Hey, what's happening? Weren't those three already released?

Kaori
It's like they're trying to protect Maho...!

Maho
Yes... I can hear them. All of your emotions.

Maho
You all... treasure me so dearly.

Plushies
......!

Makoto
Hey, look! The other plushies are breaking free of the majimun!

Kaori
If they couldn't control the plushies, then all they could do was let them go!

Makoto
Then, this is all of them...!

Maho
No, not yet.

Kaon
The majimun are gathering!?

Majimun
Roaaaaar!

Makoto
Hey, hey, they're merging... Are they gonna turn into a giant phantom or something!?

Kaori
I can feel incredible power!

Makoto
Just from being near them, I can feel my power draining away...! Would this thing be able to steal your soul just by touching you!?

Maho
That matters not.

Makoto
Princess?

Kaori
Maho's... angry...

Maho
I shall make you pay for doing such things to... my cherished friends.

Maho
You two, I'd like you to help me cap this summer off with some grand memories.

Maho
Now, everyone, let's go!

All Three
Yeah!

Begin animated cutscene.

Makoto
All right, here I go!

Makoto
Hi-yaaah! Summer Wolfen Bite!

Makoto
Kaori!

Kaori
I'll handle this! Ryukyuan Hound's Shootaround!

Kaori
Maho! Finish it!

Maho
Mister Prince, could you lend me your power?

Maho
Miracle Mahorin, kururin-paaan!

Makoto
Tamaya!

Kaori
Kagiya! [1]

Maho
How beautiful...

End of cutscene.
