Team Mikadzuki House

7.18.1

[morning in Shinsei Ward]

[in Yachiyo's house]

Iroha: "So none of you saw what the Embryo Eve is..."

Felicia: "We were basically stuck in a room the whole time."

"Whenever they moved us we were blindfolded, so we don't know anything."

Tsuruno: "That's right."

"All I remember is that it was a western-style house..."

"And that there was a basement. That sort of thing."

Sana: "Yes..."

"I thought about turning invisible and looking around inside..."

"But they had taken my soul gem ring away..."

"I'm sorry..."

Iroha: "You shouldn't apologize for that... There was nothing you could do..."

Tsuruno: "Mmm, but in the end, we don't know what it is..."

"In order to make the Eve hatch, they have to protect and raise witches..."

Felicia: "And feed them to it like that?

Yachiyo: "We have been surprised by them before."

"I can't say that it's impossible..."

Iroha: "I can't even imagine..."

"What even could it be?"

Yachiyo: "That's right..."

"For now, let's summarize what's happened."

*In order to free magical girls from the shackles of the witch transformation, they are raising this so-called Embryo Eve.*

*By hatching this Eve, they will take the situation in Kamihama where you do not transform into a witch and spread it across the world.*

*However, to make it hatch they need an immense amount of energy, so they are using the witches and rumors in Kamihama to gather that energy.*

*Basically, Kamihama is...*

*An incubator that will release magical girls.*

"That's how it seems to be."

Tsuruno: "My brain thinks so too!"

"And also, while I was brainwashed, I couldn't feel anything..."

"But now that we summarize it like that, I definitely feel like there's a contradiction."

Yachiyo: "What Magius are doing while wishing for a happy future?"

Tsuruno: "Yeah."

"They're using witches to create a world without witches."

Felicia: "There'll be curses everywhere and nothing will change!"

"Ahhh, it pisses me off, let's go beat them all up!"

Sana: "It's not that easy..."

Yachiyo: "No, that's exactly right..."

"We don't have any choice..."

"We can't let them carry out their arrogant plan..."

"Sacrificing so many for the sake of salvation..."

Iroha: "That's right..."

Sana: *kuuurglegurgle...*

"Ah, I-I'm sorry..."

Yachiyo: "Hehe, why are you apologizing? Of course you'd be hungry."

"We've been wracking our brains and fighting and talking until now."

Iroha: "We'll have stayed up all night, but let's make breakfast!"

Yachiyo: "Yeah, let's do that."

Felicia: "Food, finally!"

Iroha: "Hehe"

Tsuruno: "..."

"Hey, Iroha-chan."

Iroha: "What is it, Tsuruno-chan?"

Tsuruno: "I think you should tell the people from Mitakihara...

"About when I became part of the rumor."

"It's just a guess, but I think Mami is the same as I was."

Yachiyo: "I think that's right."

"When we fought Tomoe-san, I felt the same strange change in her magic as Tsuruno."

"But unlike Tsuruno, who became part of a rumor..."

"Tomoe-san was probably 100% enrobed in a rumor."

"I think it's incomparable to the magic that Tsuruno was wearing..."

Iroha: "Alright..."

"I'll tell that to Madoka-chan..."

[battle]

[in the kitchen]

Yachiyo: "Hey Felicia, take this to the table!"

Felicia: "Me~at! ...Hey this is miso soup!"

Yachiyo: "You were being a bother about it so I made it pork soup."

Felicia: "The meat in pork soup doesn't count as meat!"

Yachiyo: "Then, no breakfast for you."

Felicia: "Ah, no! Meat! It's meat!"

Yachiyo: "Okay, then bring it to the table."

Felicia: "Alright..."

Sana: "Iroha-san, I'd like to help too..."

Iroha: "Okay, then could you set the table?"

Sana: "Okay!"

"Also..."

Iroha: "What?"

Sana: "Then, can we give them... before we eat?"

Iroha: "Yeah, we're finally all back together."

"Let's do that."

Sana: "Yes!"

[Tsuruno is looking spaced-out in the living room]

Iroha: "Are all the pickled vegetables out?"

Tsuruno: "..."

Iroha: "EhhHH!? Y-Yachiyo-san!"

"Tsuruno-chan's making that face again!"

Yachiyo: "Is it the rumor's influence again!?"

Felicia: "No, it's like her soul has slipped out."

Sana: "Maybe she's in shock that she lost her perfect attendance..."

Felicia: "Iroha, this is our chance to support her back!"

Iroha: "Ehh!?"

"If you tell me so suddenly..."

"...Umm..."

"Tsuruno-chan..."

Tsuruno: "..."

Iroha: "Um, you have perfect attendence in my heart!"

"I know you really could have gone to school... so..."

"Tsuruno Warmup Exercise Number 1!"

Tsuruno: "Yes!"

"O-on reflex!"

Yachiyo: "What are you doing."

"Absences are something everyone needs to deal with individually, right."

"Anyway, let's eat."

Iroha: "Um, before that, Yachiyo-san, can I have a moment?"

"Tsuruno-chan and Felicia-chan too."

"Right?"

Tsuruno: "Huh?"

"Uwoah! It's finally time!"

Felicia: "Yeah, finally!"

Yachiyo: "W-wait a minute, what's going on?"

"You're all in on this?"

Iroha: "Sana-chan, bring them over."

Yachiyo: "W-what?"

"Bringing something?"

Sana: "Um, here..."

[insert image of the five coasters]

Yachiyo: *These are coasters?*

Iroha: *Yeah, we all picked them out and bought them together.*

Sana: *Really, we wanted to give them sooner...*

Yachiyo: *Sakura?*

Felicia: *Yeah! For the five of us on a team!*

Tsuruno: *It's a symbol of Team Mikadzuki House!*

[back to the living room]

Yachiyo: "Thank you everyone, for this..."

"Well, let's get to using these coasters."

"Since we have them now."

Iroha: "Okay!"

Tsuruno: "Then, while it might be presumptuous, the Strongest Magical Girl, Yui Tsuruno will..."

Felicia: "CHEERS!"

Tsuruno: "Ueeeehhh!?"

Iroha: "Hehe, cheers!"

[a flash of white and then a sudden flashback to the hospital room, which is empty]

Iroha: *Well then, sakura.*

[back to the living room]

Iroha: "Huh...?"

Yachiyo: "What's wrong, Iroha?"

Iroha: "Uh, no, it's nothing."

7.18.2

[in Iroha's bedroom]

Iroha: "That scene in the hospital..."

"What was that?"

"Does it have something to do with rumors..."

[there's a flash]

Iroha: "Ugh, what is it..."

[a flash, and then a flashback to Ai's labyrinth]

Ai: >|Aas aa *rumor*|

>|I_kKNOw_TamaKIui...|

[flashback to the Memory Museum]

Touka: "Maybe it's Tamaki Iroha, not me, who's wrong?"

[flashback to the field at the base of the Ferris wheel]

Nemu: "Precisely, I am their creator."

[flashback to Touka, Nemu, and Ui in the hospital room]

Iroha: *The reason I knew that rumor...*

[fade to black]

Iroha: *Was because I myself was in the place where it was created...*

[back to Iroha's room]

Iroha: "pant... pant..."

[flashback to the shopping mall with Sana]

Iroha: "Hey, everyone, what do you think?"

"Sakura-shaped coasters in everyone's colors."

Sana: "Ah, I think it's good!"

Tsuruno: "Yeah, it gives you that team feeling!"

Felicia: "But, why sakura?"

Iroha: "It just caught my eye..."

"It gives you that feeling like the start of the school year, right?"

"Something that all of us gathered here and started."

[a really vintage-looking flashback to the hospital with just Iroha]

Iroha: "So, everyone..."

"In time, we'll gather here, at the Eternal Sakura."

[back to her room]

Iroha: "pant... pant... pant..."

"The map!"

[insert image of the map covered in markings]

Iroha: *The rumors gathered at the hospital...*

*That's because that's where they first created them...*

*And then, the Eternal Sakura!*

[flashback to the restaurant with Kanagi]

Iroha: "Around here, in the middle of the mountains, were there any rumors?"

Kanagi: "Hmm?"

"No, I don't know of any."

[back to Iroha's room]

Iroha: "No, there is... there should be..."

"If we wrote that story in the hospital together..."

"Then the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura should be..."

[battle]

[in some fancy server room with a desk equipped with five monitors]

Nemu: "I've found our next target."

"I thought it was only a legend, but that massive amount of curses... Make no mistake."

"With it, we can definitely make the Eve hatch."

Touka: "I was surprised to see the frequency of the waves crossing the dimensions..."

"But it definitely seems to be real."

"It's the result of observing just a little bit of the future."

"Ehehe"

Nemu: "mhehe"

Touka: "The Eve has almost exceeded criticality."

"The energy pressure is so strong that the molecular structure is distorting."

Nemu: "All that's left is to wait for the legendary invasion we observed to come."

"What they call in Mitakihara, the..."
