## About "Chain Story Archives"

The event begins a series of interconnected events with content that act as supplements to the Main Quests. In the timeline, the story of Chain Story Archives takes place between Acts 2 and 3, signified by the "2.5.x" of each related event.

## Background

**Note:** This continues from the story in Chain Story Archives Part 2.5.2.

To make up for her attack on Mihono, Yui and Hana, Akira decided to assist with their Aradama operation, which was approaching its end as they looked for the last group of civilians will trapped inside the mall building. With Akira reminding them to focus on the mission, the girls proceeded to carry out the search on foot to keep the Aradama from noticing them. Akira eventually found a boy hiding in an inconspicuous place, and although she startled the boy to the point of crying, Akira managed to assure the boy that she was in safe hands. Then, after leaving the boy to Mihono, Akira proceeded to fight an Aradama that approached them as a result of the boy's crying earlier.

Mihono, Yui and Hana took a break from fighting as instructed by Akira after sending off the boy to a safe place. Mihono soon realized the gravity of their situation and was thinking about how often they would be exposed to similar dangers as part of their duties. Akira agreed to listen to Mihono's worries and, after being reminded of one of her friends, told Mihono that it was normal for some people to seek something challenging in a quest to become "tougher". Through those words, Mihono soon considered joining the police force along with Yui and Hana. A sudden Aradama sighting forced the girls back to combat, but neither Yui nor Hana could muster their Utsushi. Akira and Mihono quickly decided to protect the two fatigued Toji, but the fight also served as a reminder of the gap of her strength with Akira. At that moment, Mihono realized that she wanted to be stronger.

As she and Sawano neutralized the threat in their area, Mai considered heading to the shopping mall where Mihono was doing her mission. To the surprise of Futaba, Mihono seemed close to Mai as she talked about what happened at the shopping mall. Yui and Hana admitted to have struggled during the operation and were soon carried to the nearby ambulance. The next day, Mihono visited President Hashima, where she finalized her decision to join the Toji unit Yui and Hana were assigned to. To Mihono's surprise, Ema quickly accepted her decision and announced her immediate transfer. Mihono then looked for Akira before school could begin to thank her for the experience during the mission, but she heard from Sawano that Akira has a tendency to not attend most of her class days. Unknown to them, Akira called someone about her "contact" with Mihono, commenting that her "awakening" has not yet happened. For the meantime, she chose to continue watching Mihono.
