Flag of the Magical Girls

**Flag of the Magical Girls** is the first story episode of Sakura Gaoka Truth.

## In-Game Summary

You learn that White Omnis plans to attack potential magical girls with the goal of killing you so he can become Tobio. This scares Lilly, whose best friend Marianne is a target of his, though she refuses to see her as a magical girl. After trying to get everyone to agree on a course of action, you decide to confirm Marianne's safety first, and head over to St. Charles.

## Plot

Iroha greets Omnis as he reconnects. Apparently she's been carrying him around while he 'sleeps', and she teases him about his weight. Akisa inserts herself into the conversation, wanting to confirm that White Omnis is after potential magical girls; a deduction she came to based on the way he attacked Takeraho Academy.

Panicked about the new information, Lilly jumps into the discussion. Potential magical girls include her friend Marianne, but she adamantly refuses the idea of adding her to the magical girl roster. Lilly calls Marianne, with no answer. She becomes even more worried, and Iroha suggests they head over to St. Charles to check on her. Akisa decides to head to Takeraho first, as she wants to check something. The Arihane girls and Lilly go to St. Charles.

At the gates of St. Charles, Lilly says Marianne is most likely in the club room at this time. Iroha charges in, but contrary to their fears, Marianne is safe. Her phone was off so she could concentrate on her manuscript.

After explaining the situation, Marianne asks when this event was triggered. Her sentence triggers a vision for Omnis: a smiling girl in a classroom. Right after his vision, the demon alert goes off. Iroha panics that White Omnis has arrived, but the demon response isn't big enough to be him. Since the alert is nearby, they get ready for battle. Unwilling to leave her alone and unprotected, Lilly gets Marianne to follow them.

## Transcript

*(In the Karaoke Room)*

Iroha
Morning, Om-om! Did you sleep well?
Omnis
Huh? Oh... Have you been carrying me around the whole time I've been out?
Iroha
Really? We can't just leave you alone, jeez.
Omnis
No need to make it sound like such a pain.
Iroha
Well, it's not my fault that you're a real chunky boy, Om-om!
Omnis
Ngh... Is that all I am to you, a heavy burden? But thanks.
Akisa
Omnis, if you would, a word, please. It's about White Omnis...
Akisa
It's clear that he's after Ao and Aka. He must know, right?
Omnis
(Of course, Akisa has caught on to the truth.)
Akisa
He knew they had potential to become magical girls.
Akisa
I'm fairly confident about the way he attacked Takeraho Academy. It was clearly him going after Ao and Aka.
Cocoa
Does that mean he's going after all the girls who can see Om-om?
Lilly
What do you mean!? This is the first time I'm hearing this!
Cocoa
What the!? You startled me! Lilly Bean, don't randomly scream out like that.
Lilly
What you're all telling me is that this maniac is after the lives of any girl who can see Ombre?
Cocoa
Y-yeah, that's what happened to the Takeraho girls...
Lilly
Mar Mar's in danger!
Cocoa
Mar Mar?
Akisa
She wouldn't happen to be the girl with glasses that was with you when we all met at that game arcade, was she?
Omnis
Oh yeah, she definitely could see me too...
Iroha
Alright! We need to turn her into a magical girl before White Om-om gets to her first!
Lilly
Don't be stupid. Mar Mar can't become a magical girl. I won't allow it!
Kaori
But it'll be dangerous for her unless she transforms.
Lilly
No means no! Mar Mar can't be put in the middle of these dangerous battles.
Iroha
Lilly...
Cocoa
Lilly Bean...
Seira
It can't be helped then.
*(Lilly calls Marianne, with no answer)*

Lilly
What the hell is she doing right now?! She better get out right right now!
Seira
Something the matter?
Lilly
She's not picking up her phone. She should answer right away!
Iroha
Lilly, if you're worried, we should go to St. Charles Academy.
Akisa
Iroha, my apologies. I need to make a stop at Takeraho first.
Iroha
Huh?! Why?
Akisa
I'm worried about the student council members, and I need to confirm something.
Iroha
Oh, okay.
Lilly
Sorry, but I'm gonna head over now! What if something happened to Mar Mar!?
Akisa
I'll meet up with everyone later, sorry.
*(Scene change to St. Charles)*

Omnis
There's still no demon alerts, so you should be fine.
Iroha
Lilly, I have a question. Where does Marianne usually hang out at school?
Lilly
She's usually in the manga club room around this time.
Iroha
Alright, let's hurry to the manga club!
Omnis
Iroha, you can't just go inside!
*(Scene change to the St. Charles club room)*

Narration
Thankfully, Marianne "Mar Mar" Okada was safe.
It turns out she powered off her phone so she could concentrate on meeting a manga manuscript deadline.
We explained everything to her, including our fights with demons, and how dire the situation was. We also expressed how much danger she was in due to her potential to become a magical girl.
Of course, Lilly vehemently refused to hear about any talk of turning Marianne into one though...
Marianne
S-since when has this event been triggered?!
*(Omnis experiences a vision)*

Omnis
What?!
Omnis' Thoughts
That déjà vu again... It felt like I'd heard it all before.
*(Dynamisphere alert goes off)*

Marianne
Ooohhh...!? Wh-what was that?!
Iroha
Worst timing ever! White Om-om is here.
Omnis
It's not a big enough alert to be him.
Iroha
Lilly, they're super close, let's go!
Lilly
We'll take care of things, so you just hide, Marianne! It'll be okay, there's no way I'll let you turn into a magical girl!
Marianne
L-Lilly...
Lilly
Come on, don't look at me with that face.
Lilly
Hm, but I guess it's not necessarily safe here either. Alright, I'll look after you. Come along!
