Handwritten Love Letter

**Handwritten Love Letter** is the fourth story episode of Inokashira Rescue.

## In-Game Summary

The girls feel limited in their ability to face the demon threat on their own. Remembering that only those who can become magical girls can see Omnis, the two girls decide to invite Seira and Cocoa to join them. While Seira finds the story too hard to swallow, Cocoa's eyes light up at the thought. Cocoa eagerly joins the team.

## Plot

The girls and Omnis return from their demon extermination. Kaori is disappointed that they missed all their afternoon classes, and Iroha tries to cheer her up. As they discuss the difficulty of handling the number of demons by themselves, Iroha suggests talking to the two girls who they ran into on the roof. Omnis and Iroha are surprised by Kaori's enthusiasm for the idea, who reveals that Seira and Cocoa are third-years at Arihane and gushes about their qualities.

Later, the trio are on the roof. Iroha is confused as to why they are waiting there instead of going to straight to the seniors' classroom, but Kaori is confident that her letter invitation to the roof is the better method. The conversation starts to dissolve into nonsensical banter when Seira and Cocoa arrive. The two new arrivals are surprised to find the other three waiting, although Cocoa is still confident that one of them is going to confess their love.

As Kaori is frozen, Iroha blurts out "Would you wanna become magical girls with us!?". She then proceeds to explain the situation to Seira and Cocoa. Seira is skeptical, pointing out the danger of joining the magical girls, and Iroha's arguments on awesomeness and coolness fail to sway her. Kaori is too nervous to offer up an argument either.

Surprisingly, Cocoa decides to join. Seira tries to stop her, but she says: "My motto is to enjoy all of life's little quirks and stay cute!" This triggers another vision for Omnis, along with a feeling of nostaglia. Just as Cocoa asks about how to become a magical girl, Kaori and Iroha get a demon alert. Despite Seira's protests, the other four rush off to battle. Seira is left behind, looking after them sadly.

## Transcript

*(In an Arihane corridor)*

Kaori
Ugh... I didn't make it to a single class this afternoon...
Iroha
But we saved someone! That's pretty amazing!
Kaori
But you see, if demons keep showing up this frequently, we can't handle them on our own, can we?
Omnis
I think Kaori definitely has a point there.
Iroha
Hey, hey! Let's try talking to those girls from before!
Kaori
Huh!? Those two?
Omnis
You sorta seem happy.
Kaori
Of course I am! They're on another level! I've been looking up to them since forever!
Iroha
Oh? So they're your seniors?
Kaori
Iroha, do you really not know them?
*(Scene of Seira outside Airhane)*

Kaori
Seira Sodeshiro. 3rd year at Arihane Institute.
Kaori
Gorgeous, elegant, smart and that long, raven hair!
Kaori
That beauty is the epitome of cool!
Iroha
Wow...
Omnis
Huh...
*(Scene of Cocoa inside Airhane)*

Kaori
And Cocoa Yuwase. Also in her 3rd year at Arihane Institute.
Kaori
She lives in Seira's shadow...or so it would seem... Because there's no hiding that personality!
Kaori
That natural aloofness she has about her makes her the embodiment of cute!
Kaori
That's who they are! Now do you get it!?
Omnis
I-I get it.
Iroha
Hmm... Seira and Cocoa.
Kaori
Were you even listening, Iroha? They're our seniors!
*(Scene change to Iroha, Kaori and Omnis on rooftop)*

Kaori
Hehe, if we were fighting alongside those two, it might give me more reason to be a magical girl.
Omnis
Hey, Kaori. You're a bit basic, aren't you?
Kaori
Huh? And what's wrong with following trends!?
Omnis
No, it's not like I was saying it was a bad thing.
Iroha
Hey hey, I get that Seria and Cocoa are popular, but why are we resorting to this?
Kaori
Huh? You mean the letter?
Iroha
Yeah, we could've just gone straight to their classroom...
Kaori
What? Don't you think it'd be weird to go to the class of upperclassmen that we don't even know?
Kaori
That's why I wrote a letter inviting them to the roof.
Iroha
Isn't that kinda like inviting them to a duel?
Kaori
What!? What're you even saying? Love is a battlefield, right?
Omnis
Huh? Love?
Iroha
What're you talking about, Kaorin?
Omnis' Thoughts
I get the feeling Kaori has a few screws loose...
*(Seira and Cocoa arrive)*

Cocoa
Wait, what? It's those two girls.
Seira
Heheh, sorta disappointed it wasn't a love letter.
Kaori
Oh!
Seira
Hello, is there something you want with us?
Cocoa
Hahaha, we're all girls here, but this is definitely a confession, right?
Omnis' Thoughts
Hmm. So these are the two popular Arihane girls. They definitely have an aura about them...
Kaori
Oh...my...
Omnis
Hey, Kaori! Why are you so nervous!?
Cocoa
Hey! Isn't this the toy we saw on break?
Seira
Was it just talking?
Iroha
Hey, you two!
Seira
Huh?
Cocoa
What?
Iroha
Would you wanna become magical girls with us!?
*(Some time passes)*

Iroha
...And so that's why you should join us as magical girls!
Cocoa
Hmmm...
Seira
If I may?
Seira
Let's see if I'm understanding this all correctly. You need us to become magical girls because demons are eating people.
Seira
Right?
Iroha
Yeah!
Seira
It really was all pretty incomprehensible.
Kaori
I know, right? Sorry to hit you with all this at once...
Seira
Putting aside the absurdity of all this, what you're doing seems really dangerous, you know?
Iroha
Don't worry about that! Being a magical girl is all about being totally awesome and cool!
Seira
That doesn't help prove that it's not dangerous though...
Iroha
What...But it's so much fun...
Seira
Sigh... What about you? Are you one of these magical girls too?
Kaori
Umm!? Ooo, well, I, I, um...
Omnis
Hey! Cat got your tongue?
Seira
Nope, it's out of the question.
Seira
Sorry, but something that dangerous...
Cocoa
Seira, wait!
Seira
Huh? Cocoa...?
Cocoa
Iroha!
Cocoa
Being a magical girl sounds SUPER fun!
Iroha
Cocoa!
Cocoa
Iroha! I'm gonna be a magical girl, too!
Seira
Wait, Cocoa! Don't get ahead of yourself...
Cocoa
It's fine! It's fine! I mean...
Cocoa
My motto is to enjoy all of life's little quirks and stay cute!
*(Omnis experiences a vision)*

Omnis
What!? This feeling again?
Omnis' Thoughts
There it is again. That odd feeling of nostaglia. What in the world could it be?
Cocoa
Hey, Om-om! How do I become a magical girl!?
Omnis
Uh, well, um....
Omnis
First we have you go to the location. Then you just answer the question and kiss your phone.
Cocoa
Hm hm... That's it, huh?
Kaori
Why are you so excited, Om-om?
*(Dynamisphere alert goes off)*

Iroha
Hahaha! Well, isn't that good timing?
Omnis
Nearby again...
Kaori
Ugh, but didn't we just get rid of some?
Cocoa
Hahahah! What? What is it? What's gonna happen?
Iroha
Cocoa! We're off to slay some demons!
Cocoa
Okie-dokie!
Seira
H-hey, Cocoa! I told you to wait!
*(Everyone but Seira leaves)*

Seira
Cocoa...
