Sirin**…**

Sirin**It's so quiet.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦

Sirin**I'm really alone this time.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**What… should I do? I don't even know what kind of vessels they want to keep souls.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

Vollerei**Hey, don't go for the pinky heart-shaped ones. Disgusting.**

Broboli**I can fit into a hat. It sounds good to be a Mad Hatter, perhaps.**

🔇(JP text missing)

Sirin**… Huh?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦

Sirin**Ehhhhhhh?!**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Vollerei**What? You look like you saw a ghost.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦

✦
✦
✦

Sirin**Aren't you already… already…**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Broboli**Come one [*sic*] (expected: on)! Why would there be tragedies in the world of magic girls?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Vollerei**To be honest, I thought I'm doomed this time. But the moment the seed was destroyed, there seemed to be a force that stopped time, and then we found ourselves back here.**

**Sirin unconsciously reached out to touch her arm.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**It was a soft, warm touch.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Broboli**Relax, we aren't ghosts, and you aren't hallucinating.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

???**It's like finally waking up from a long dream.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**And you are…?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**The unknown girl tilted her head with a smile, then made a butterfly sign.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

???**The blue butterfly, remember?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Vollerei**Her identity is rather special. I'll tell you later.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

???**By the way, aren't you going to say hello to the people over there? They've been waiting for you.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**Sirin looked to the foyer. The first person to walk in was Delta, then Kasumi, Rita, and…**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**Captain!**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**You did extraordinarily, Sirin.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**You must be exhausted! You can go back to Hyperion and rest up… Wait, what did you just call me?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**Nothing… It's just that I can't keep calling you "Hey".**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**She mumbled, her ears slightly flushed.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Rita**Fufu~ It's okay, Miss Sirin, being honest with your feelings is the first step to growing up.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Delta**If you ask me, she's got a whole lot to learn.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**…**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**Sorry, I don't think you can get your job done.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Delta**Nah, we'll be scolded at worst. But it'll be totally worth it to see her get roasted.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**Delta threw a glance at Kasumi. The ninja's face twitched slightly.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Delta**Bronie contacted us a while ago. She said TeRiRi has woken up and is doing good. That TeRiRi, after she heard that the town was surrounded by magical creatures, she insisted on coming over to join us.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**She's like that… Come on, let's go to the Crescent Moon District.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**Then let's head out now.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**You can stay here. The problems of the magical girl world should be fixed by the magic girls.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**Once this is over, maybe I'll… I'll decide when that time comes.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**Okay, be careful out there.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**I watched the girls walk toward the foyer, but didn't notice a small white figure had stopped beside me.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

???**Captain, thank you.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**Looking into her blue eyes, I was reminded again of that never-ending summer, that melted sea salt popsicle, and that grudging downpour.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**No need to be so polite… Seele.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Seele**Captain, have you found that person yet?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**Not yet, but I'm getting close.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Seele**Captain, you will find that person. I'll cheer for you every day!**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**She waved before running toward the magic girls and into the misty dawn.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Delta**We should set out too. Our job here is done.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Kasumi**Wait, I still have something to tell this captain.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**… I hope it's not bad news, such as I'm also an Ether Anchor.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Kasumi**Not that.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**The ninja paused. She looked at me as if I was somebody else, which made me tense up instinctively.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Kasumi**When I was investigating in this bubble universe, I came across two leads. As a ninja not under your employ, I'm not obligated to report to you.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Kasumi**But I will inform you on my own behalf.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Kasumi**The first lead is that the person you're investigating is targeting Theresa and Theresa alone.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**The second lead is that she's long since stopped sucking blood to sustain her life.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**Stopped sucking blood? But those bite marks…**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Kasumi**That's all I know. I cannot guarantee the veracity of those leads.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**Thank you for the leads. If there's anything I can help you with…**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Kasumi**That'd be unnecessary. The next time we meet, we will be enemies.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Delta**We're counting on you, bye~**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**Delta winked and left with the ninja.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**(... I should've realized.)**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**(Princess Kongming discovered something undisclosable, that's why she left that note. There must be an ulterior reason for her being so cryptic.)**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**(Firstly, she only wanted me to see that note. The note was tucked under the chessboard, which was impossible for someone who didn't play chess against her often to notice.)**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**(Secondly, the note wasn't only alluding to me, but also to herself. "Those who recognize the situation live and those who break it survive" can be interpreted as she chose to break the passive situation at hand.)**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**(So Princess Kongming should've left the ship of her own accord to meet Luna.)**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**Princess Kongming's note was still in my pocket. Because I wasn't sure of her intention, I hadn't mentioned it to others.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**(Based on the leads we acquired in those bubble universes, Luna has been indiscriminately attacking those who resemble her and sucking their blood.)**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**(Maybe she didn't take away those Theresas because she's already accomplished her goal.)**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**(But if sucking blood is no longer a requisite for survival, why would she keep doing it across bubble universes?)**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**A collection of age-old memories surfaced.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**Like a broadcast heard on an old radio, at first it was too muffled to make out the words, then at some point it suddenly became unmistakably clear.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**"Her vampiric attacks can inject microbial-size Honkai Beasts into her victims."**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**"They will also display vampiric urges similar to that of A-872… and share a life link with A-812."**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**(Something seems to be different from what I remember.)**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**(Those Theresas we saw didn't display any vampiric urges.)**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**(But I can't figure out why Luna would share her life with them when they have no problem living normally.)**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**"The blood-sucking behavior of the infected will strengthen A-812. As long as A-812 isn't fatally threatened, the infected will be nearly immortal."**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**(As long as A-872 isn't fatally threatened…)**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**I unconsciously repeated that audio in my memory, my back already drenched in sweat and cold to the bone.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Rita**Captain-sama, you've surely reached a conclusion by now?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**By sucking blood, Luna left marks that connected her to Theresas, for the purpose of…**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**Turning all Theresas into her hostages?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**I opened my mouth, but couldn't say the answer.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**Why did she do it? What happened in these years? I had no way of knowing.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**The girl who only wanted to see the outside world seemed to have turned into someone alien.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**Had I found earlier, would the situation be redeemable?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**Is she who turned Theresas into hostages and the girls who seek the Ether Anchors connected in some way?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**Rita, is this the place where you discovered the dream particles?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Rita**Yes, it's a little distance ahead. Would you like to see it for yourself?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**Yes, I feel like I'm missing some information.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Rita**Then please follow me.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Rita**Many tenacious magical creatures have gathered here. If you don't follow me closely, I’ll be rather worried.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

< 2 Void Taurus and 1 Void Erinyes spawn. >
< After defeating 2 enemies, 2 Void Erinyes spawn. >
< 2 Void Chela spawn. >
< 1 Void Gorgon and 2 Void Hellion spawn. >

✦

✦
✦
✦

Rita**How are you?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**Don't worry, I can keep up.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Rita**But you're sweating profusely. I suggest we take a break here. Those dream particles won't disappear over time.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**Somehow I feel… we're running out of time.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**Cold sweat slid down my spine. I tried to hide my fatigue, but Rita saw through my act.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**The communication indicator suddenly lit up.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Bronie**I have super great news! Wanna hear it?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Bronie**Just now, I accidentally found the coordinates of the bubble universe where Luna is. Isn't that the best news you've heard today?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**It's our first time obtaining a lead so direct.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Bronie**Yeah, that baffles me, but at least it's something. Even if it's a trap, it's worth checking out just to see who our enemy is.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Bronie**By the way, Captain, you have to pay me more this time, at least double... no, triple the usual. How about it?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦

✦

Bronie**Captain?**

Bronie**Hello? Captain? Are you listening?**
