Can't Leave Friends Alone

**Can't Leave Friends Alone** is the second story episode of Shibuya Route All Out.

## In-Game Summary

The magical girls begin to feel exhausted after fighting endless demons, so you continue ahead of the others to find Akisa. Because you can pass through solid walls, you manage to get to the student council girls before Akisa. Since you are alone, you aren't able to help much, but when you and the student council find yourselves in hot water, Akisa appears, filled with determination.

## Plot

The magical girls have finally made it to the gates of Takeraho Academy. As soon as they arrive, another demon alert sounds. Frustrated at the delay posed by the constant battles, they search for a route that will require minimal battle. Seira notes that the west gate is free of demons, but before the group can head there, Lilly interrupts. Since they haven't caught up to Akisa, she suggests that Omnis uses his intangibility to fly through the walls and go on ahead. Omnis hesitates, since without him nearby the transformations will be undone, but the girls reassure him that they will avoid battle until they catch up.

Omnis rushes into the Academy, noting a singularity reaction on the Dynamisphere. He comes across the three girls from the Student Council trying to figure out what the demons are. When he asks where Akisa is, they tell him she isn't with them, and he realises he must have overtaken her somewhere. Having caught up, the large demon then attacks, but thanks to Omnis' warning, the trio manages to avoid the attack. They turn to flee, but Aka has twisted her ankle.

White Omnis shows up at the scene. Aka tries to get Ao to flee without her, while Omnis attempts to bait White Omnis as a target. White Omnis derides him, saying he can't ignore the possible fighting power the Student Council represents. When Omnis calls him a coward, White Omnis laughs, calling him the true coward. Omnis yells at him to explain, but they are interrupted by a magical attack.

Akisa rushes in, announced by the previous attack. When her friends start questioning her, she responds by insulting them, but ends her tirade by saying, "I can't just leave you alone!!".

## Transcript

*(Outside the gates of Takeraho Academy)*

Iroha
W-we finally made it to Takeraho...
Kaori
Ugh! How many more do we need to fight?
*(Dynamisphere alert goes off)*

Seira
They don't stop coming. Even if we win, there's no end in sight.
Omnis
Fighting every single demon we come across would push anyone's body to its limit.
Lilly
Hey, everyone! There's a big signal showing up! Isn't that inside the academy!?
Omnis
It has to be. It looks like we can't avoid a confrontation.
Seira
Everyone, look at this. The west gate is the only place that isn't infested with demons.
Kaori
What, then that's our chance! We can get inside while avoiding the demons!
Lilly
Hey, wait a sec! Ombre can float through walls.
Omnis
Well, yeah.
Lilly
Why don't you go on ahead of us so you can check on Akisa?
Omnis
W-wait! If I move too far away from you guys, then you won't be able to remain in your magical girl dresses.
Lilly
It's all good. We can see where these demons are located on this app, so we'll be able to avoid them. It'll be a piece of cake.
Seira
This seems like the best plan. We'll be careful, so you should go on ahead, okay?
Kaori
Yeah! Om-om, go ahead of us and find Akisa!
Omnis
Okay, but are you really going to be alright? Make sure you don't enter the flux on the way there. Okay!?
Lilly
We get it! Now hurry up and go already!
Narration
I parted ways with Iroha and the rest of the girls. I fervently passed through wall after wall to enter Takeraho. Inside the academy's walls was another giant demon that the app showed as a singularity.
This must mean that White Omnis is there.
There's no way I can defeat him and his three colossal demons. More importantly, Akisa is defenseless. I need to find her.
Omnis
Ergh... Wait for me, Akisa!
*(Inside the flux)*

Ao
\*Pant, pant\* What the heck are these monsters!?
Aka
Hmm... Maybe someone's filming a monster movie. But probably not...
Eliza
Do you really think someone went out of their way to make up costumed characters like the ones we're seeing before us?
Omnis
Hey! Are you all okay?
Eliza
Eek! There's another monster here!
Ao
You! You're that talking stuffed animal from before.
Omnis
Um... Where's Akisa?! I thought she was with you guys.
Aka
Huh? Akisa? No, she's not with us...
Omnis
What? Oh no, then did I get here before her!?
Ao
What are you? Are you working with these monsters?!
Omnis
W-wait, no! You're mistaken. I came here to help you.
Aka
Over there are giant shrimp... And now there's a little black kitty...
Eliza
No! I told you already, they're glorious mantis shrimp, not puny, regular shrimp!
*(Demon prepares an attack)*

Omnis
...! Everybody, get down!
*(Demon attacks)*

Eliza
Eek! Wh-what is that?!
Ao
Here comes another one. Run!
Aka
Oof! Ah, I think I twisted my ankle.
Ao
Aka, hurry! Grab onto my shoulder.
Omnis
Crap. The singularity's already too close!?
*(White Omnis appears)*

White Omnis
Curses! Think you can get away from me? ...I see. Their potential is above average though their powers have yet to be awakened.
Eliza
A-a white cat?!
Aka
Ao... Go on without me.
Ao
Don't be stupid. I could never abandon you!
Omnis
Look here, scumbag. You won't lay a finger on them!
White Omnis
Oh? Look who the cat dragged in...
Omnis
What are you doing? Your enemy, the one you want to kill, is me!
White Omnis
You don't know jack squat. With all that fighting potential just waiting to be unlocked, I can't let them live.
Omnis
What...!?
Omnis' Thoughts
So it's just how I figured. He knew that these girls have the potential to become magical girls, so he made them his first target.
Even still, for him to go after girls that haven't even shown a hint of wanting to become one...
Omnis
Y-you coward!
White Omnis
Ahahah, me a coward? Don't make me laugh! To think that petty insult flew out of your mouth...
White Omnis
...You're the coward! You refuse to face reality, and you run away like the rotting garbage that you are.
Omnis
Run away? What are you going on about?
White Omnis
Face reality head-on before you start chasing after these entitled ideals of yours!
Omnis
...!?
White Omnis
Stop running and fear me. There is only one possibility for scum like you...
Omnis
What are you trying to tell me?
???
Hey!
*(A magical attack hits the demons)*

Omnis
Ack...!? A-Akisa...
Akisa
Your opponent's this way, twerp!
Omnis
Hey! What do you think you're doing?
Ao
Yo, Akisa!? What's with the get up...
Akisa
You all always are so naggy, do way too much and get in the way.
Aka
Umm, huh? Akisa, what―!?
Akisa
Always so distruptive, always getting on everyone's nerves. You're all really just a pain in everyone's ass!
Eliza
Akisa... Wh-what are you going on about?
Akisa
But I...
Omnis
Akisa, this is reckless!
Akisa
I need you! I can't just leave you alone!!
