Delta**She's a ninja, she hates being distracted on missions. She probably turned off her communicator.**

**Delta kept poking a contact named Kasumi on her communicator in annoyance.**

Sirin**But she doesn't know any magic.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦

Bronie**That's just her stage name. This song is her signature single, Magical Girl's Heart.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Bronie**Isn't the scene hyped up? I told you she's really popular. If you want to meet her, you'll have to do it conventionally.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦

✦

Delta**Waiting in line for eight hours just to stand in the front row... Is this really conventional?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦

Bronie**I mean, she's the idol of the Arc City.**

Bronie**How should I put it, I do miss her sorely, but...**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Bronie**You have no idea how keen she is. She can see through my every disguise. If she drags me into Cioara's restaurant to catch up, I'm not coming out for the rest of the night.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Bronie**So in order to not delay our plan, I'm not going this time. I just need to know she's alright.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**Aren't you worried that you might not have another chance to come back?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Bronie**Not worried, my home is always in the Arc City.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦

Bronie**I heard the fans chanting, I assume it's about time. Don't forget our plan.**

Captain**Once we meet Theresa, Rita and Delta will use postcards to stall for time, I'll ask questions, and Sirin will observe those around her.**

Sirin**Got it. As soon as we see a similar wound, we'll photo it and send it to Bronie for analysis.**

Staff Member**Fans, we're sorry to inform you that we're experiencing an audio issue! We thank you for your patience and will compensate each of you with a gift!**

Sirin**Is this part of the surprise?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**I don't think so. Look, the staff are all running in that direction. I think an issue really arose.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

Captain**Let's go have a look.**

Bronie**Wait, don't turn off the comm. Stay in touch.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

**Delta**I think I saw Theresa. Right ahead!

< 3 Vigeles spawn. >
**Arrogant Hooligan**Haha… no way she is a Magic Girl!
**Complacent Hooligan**She’s got fake ears!
**Hooligan with an Evil Smile**Take a picture and post it online!
< 2 Razor Claw and 2 Vigiles spawn. >
< 1 Joyo-Ninja and 1 Kunoichi spawn. Story resumes after enemies are defeated. >

Captain**We finally sent them off. They're a difficult bunch.**

✦

Theresa**Thank you for helping us out.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦

Sirin**How did they get in?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**I don't know. Maybe they exploited the security system, maybe they sneaked in... Anyhow, this isn't the first fuss we've had. We've gotten used to it.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**Why were they harassing you?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**Maybe it's because I'm not the magical girl they think I am. They say they want to tear down my stage persona and see my true identity.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**I could've handled it all by myself, actually. Despite wearing a dress, I'm still a good fighter. Too bad the staff wouldn't let me…**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Staff Member**Miss Theresa, for the love of gods, don't! They brought cameras to film you, and if they upload what they filmed, our whole company is done for!**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦

✦

Theresa**Oh, I was just saying. You go prepare the fan meeting now, I'll be right there.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

Staff Member**Miss Theresa, don't ever beat them up in private…**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**I know, I know! Magical girl TeRiRi would never do something so violent!**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

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

✦

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

✦
✦
✦
✦

**Bronie burst into laughter at the other end of the line. I pretended to scratch my head, so I could cover the earbud and keep her laughter in.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**Anyway, please take these albums, I've signed them. You must be my fans as well, right?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**Um, we're actually…**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**Sirin waved her hand without thinking. The other girl frowned.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**Your hand's injured? Was it injured just now?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**Likely. Not a big deal though, will heal in a couple of days.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**This isn't a small deal.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**Theresa took out sterilized swabs and bandages from her pocket and began treating the wound carefully.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**You… carry this around?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**I'm used to it. I have a friend who always makes a mess of herself and need me to clean up after her.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**Then she went somewhere. I still think she'll come back with bruises all over her someday, so I always bring swabs and bandages with me.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**I see. I thought it was because you were hurt recently.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**I can't say you're wrong.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**Someone stopped me when I was recording a program last month. The staff and I had a hard time shaking her off. I realized I was hurt when I got home, but luckily I could cover it with a glove.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦

✦
✦
✦

Sirin**Was anyone else present injured?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Sirin**No, she came alone. Came for me, presumably.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**Can I take a look?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**Sure.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

**Theresa took off her glove. On the inside of her wrist, there was a small wound. They could tell the wound was the same as TeRiRi's without taking pictures.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**But still it was infected, so for the next few days I felt sick and woozy.**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦
✦
✦

Theresa**But I'm much better now. The wound doesn't hurt at all and has almost healed. Your wound is bigger than mine, so watch out for infections.**

✦
✦

Sirin**Thank you.**

Theresa**I'll be going now. I can't have my fans wait, can I?**

Sirin**Um... Break a leg.**

Theresa**Thank you, everyone~**

**After a few seconds, the theme song of Magical Girl's Heart began to play.**

Delta**What did you say?**

Sirin**Nothing.**

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

✦
✦
✦
✦

Captain**You saw it, right? The wound on this Theresa heals better than that on the others. Perhaps this wound will fully heal over time.**

Rita**Biting like a kitten, how adorable. But why would Miss Luna do such a thing?**
🔇(CN text missing)
🔇(JP text missing)

✦
✦
✦

✦

Captain**I have a guess. Let's find a place to organize our thoughts.**

Bronie**Wanna go to Cioara's restaurant? Quick meal, cocktail, your call.**

Rita**Miss Bronie, I won't mind if you stay to reminisce with your old friend all night.**
🔇(CN text missing)

Bronie**Heh, planning to sit at the counter and watch me wipe plates? In your dreams.**
🔇(CN text missing)

Captain**Why would I? We'd only take memorable photos of you. Sirin, we should go.**

Sirin**Wait.**
🔇(CN text missing)

Sirin**I have a bad feeling. Maybe I should go back first... to the Crescent Moon District.**
