Mitama's Training - Alina and Hinano Chapter

Chapter 1:

White Wing: ......

Mitama: Welcome! ♪ What can I do for you?

White Wing: ...Plans.

Mitama: Hm...?

White Wing: ...Tomorrow.

Mitama: You don't need a reservation if it's for an adjustment. ♪

Mitama: Will a higher-up be visiting or something?

White Wing: ...Yes.

Mitama: Ah, but! At that time, I...

White Wing: ...We are aware.

White Wing: ...You do not need to go.

Mitama: Ah... well, when that higher-up comes here...

Mitama: Perhaps you're saying I should complete any business I have at hand?

White Wing: ...Yes.

Mitama: That's fine.

Mitama: Okay then, I'll be prepared and waiting. ♪

White Wing: ...Please.

Hinano: Fuffuffu...

Hinano: Finally... it's finally complete...!

Hinano: Now if I put dilute this solution and stir it...

Hinano: M-... m-m-... my heart's desire...

sfx: *bang*

Hinano: Oh sh-...!

Hinano: My hand... slipped...

*flash, bang, smoke*

Hinano: *cough cough cough*...!

Hinano: A screwup for the first time in ages.

Hinano: The gas mask I had ready to go in the worst case scenario came in handy at least...

Hinano: ......

Hinano: (Still, no good, huh...)

Hinano: (I even thought I was prepared for everything.)

Hinano: (This is what you get when the hand that's holding the test tube trembles at the critical moment...)

Hinano: (I haven't completed recovered from that incident... have I?)

Hinano: Well then...

Hinano: Better start preparing for cleanup and report myself to the club advisor.

Hinano: ...I've got to get the stuff for tomorrow's science event ready, too.

---

[The next day...]

Hinano: ...And so!

Hinano: Even a veteran science club president who has overcome much adversity...

Hinano: ...can cause an explosive incident like this!

Hinano: Therefore...

Emiri: ...Perfectly prepare your experiment preparation!

Emiri: Doing it kids only is a no-no, always! ☆

Emiri: ...And that's that!

Emiri: Does everyone get it~?

Kids: Yeeees!

Hinano: Emiri... you...

Hinano: Whaaaat, Myaako-senpai?!

Hinano: You're just my assistant, but you always take the juiciest lines at the end.

Hinano: ...Will you please stop that already?

Emiri: But I mean, I was just feeling it!

Emiri: The answer bell rang in my head with exactly what you were going to say next, Myaako-senpai!

Hinano: That's just because you've been my assistant for a long time...

Emiri: Yep, yep!

Emiri: I've heard "don't perform dangerous experiments" like 1.51 million times already!

Emiri: Ah, but! Myaako-senpai.

Emiri: So what were you doing? What was that experiment that made smoke poof everywhere?

Hinano: Uu...

Hinano: That's... well, you see.

Hinano: ...taller...

Emiri: Huh, what was that? I couldn't hear it very well.

Hinano: That's... getting... taller.

Emiri: One more time! So that everybody can hear you!

Hinano: You're the only one who needs to hear it, aren't you?! What am I gonna do if everyone hears it!

Emiri: Yeah, yeah! Say it with that exact volume!

Hinano: ...I was trying to make a drug that would make me taller.

Emiri: Whaaat?! A drug to make you taller?!

Emiri: In other words... you're saying a drug to make you taller?

Hinano: That's exactly what you said! What was the point of repeating it again?!

Hinano: ...But, it didn't work.

Hinano: My failure from five years ago ended up floating into my mind.

Emiri: Hm, five years ago?

Hinano: I told you before, didn't I?

Hinano: A dangerous experiment of mine caused a release of toxic gas.

Hinano: When I was on the brink of death, I made a wish to Kyubey to save my life.

Hinano: The drug I was trying to make at that time was also a drug that would make me taller...

Emiri: ......

Emiri: That certainly does make me nervous.

Emiri: So that you don't have to do something like that again, Myaako-senpai...

Emiri: I'll part with about 5cm of my height and give it to you...

Hinano: ...I'm not sure if you're trying to comfort me or not, but that kind of pissed me off!

Hinano: Well, anyway.

Hinano: I'll keep my hands out of any more dangerous experiments.

Emiri: Huh, why?

Hinano: ...Because I don't want to make my cute kouhai sad.

Emiri: --?!

Emiri: Myaako-senpai... that's so kind & totally kyooot!

Hinano: You...! I told you not to hug me!

---

Hinano: (Emiri went home...)

Hinano: (Sneaking back to the club room is pathetic, even I can admit that to myself...)

Hinano: (I just... can't give up here.)

Hinano: (My dream... my longing.)

Hinano: Emiri, I'm sorry.

Hinano: I... lied to you.

---

Chapter 2

Emiri: Mi-mi-mi... Mitamaccho! Please, help!

Mitama: Oh? What's happened to get you so panicked?

Emiri: Senpai...! Myaako-senpai...!

Emiri: ...Passed out in the science clubroom!

Mitama: Wha-...? Oh no!

Hinano: ......

Mitama: She's out completely... pardon me.

Mitama: Her soul gem is okay, hm... it doesn't appear to be life-threatening.

Mitama: But I am concerned that it seems quite impure.

Mitama: We need to hurry and purify it...

Emiri: Use my grief seed!

Mitama: Okay. She should be all right for now...!

Emiri: Great! Mitamaccho, you have my total thanks!

Emiri: I was worrying about whether I should take her to the hospital, but...

Mitama: I wouldn't really say I'm a doctor of magical girls, but...

Mitama: This time, I think you made the right choice bringing her here. ♪

Hinano: ......

Hinano: ...nn?

Hinano: Where am I...?

Emiri: Mya-... Myaako-senpai!

Emiri: Myaako-senpai woke up!!!

---

Mitama: ...so, in short...

Mitama: The result of drinking the "height" drug you were developing...

Mitama: ...was that all this happened, right?

Hinano: That's correct... I'm sorry to have worried you...

Hinano: The moment I drank it, I was overcome by violent stomach pain.

Hinano: I seriously thought I was going to die...

Hinano: (And what's more, I didn't end up growing any taller at all...!)

Mitama: You should be thankful to Emiri-chan for finding you and bringing you here!

Emiri: No, no, I don't need thanks!

Emiri: Since Myaako-senpai weighs so little, it was easy to carry her!

Hinano: Uu...

Hinano: I am tiny, after all...

Emiri: Myaako-senpai...

Emiri: Why do you want to get bigger so much?

Emiri: Even though you're so kyoot just like you are...

Hinano: Emiri.

Hinano: ...I apologize for breaking my promise to you and running right back to dangerous experimentation.

Hinano: But to me, that's the one thing I have to draw a line on compromising.

Hinano: That's my origin as a scientist.

---

Chapter 3:

My origin is...

from watching "entertaining science experiment events" as a child.

The intellectual curiosity that was sleeping inside of me was awakened at that moment.

The moderator at the time was a sexy, long-legged older girl in a white ...

I thought that in the future, I would also like to stand dashingly in front of the children like she did.

Emiri: Oooh!

Emiri: I see! I get it!

Emiri: Basically, Myaako-senpai's ideal is...

Emiri: Number one! A person amazing at experiments!

Emiri: Number two! A person who can science teach to kids!

Emiri: Number three! Sexy and long(!) legs type of person!

Emiri: So that's right?

Emiri: ...Hm? The third...

Emiri: ......

Emiri: Yeah!

Hinano: What's with that smile! You're so noisy!

Hinano: ...In the end, of those things that I admired then, I could only accomplish one.

Hinano: Just broadening the minds of children with science.

Hinano: Because I almost died five years ago, I'm scared to perform dangerous experiments.

Hinano: And my height is... as you see.

Hinano: And at last, when I turned 18, I figured I could make a drug to grow taller, but I went too far.

Hinano: ...And almost killed myself again.

Hinano: Go ahead and laugh at your stupid and thoughtless senpai...

Emiri: ...I won't laugh.

Hinano: Huh?

Emiri: ...I'm not going to laugh.

Emiri: Because...

Emiri: I became a magical girl because I wanted to be the cutest little devil there was, y'know?

Emiri: ...it was a spur of the moment decision!

Hinano: ...You really do have an attitude!

Hinano: But, well... this feeling can't stay the same...

Hinano: It still causes problems over and over...

Hinano: ......

Mitama: Hmmm... she's still a way off from being fully recovered.

Mitama: Her soul gem still looks impure.

Mitama: Mm... Hinano-san?

Mitama: She looks like... she's getting worse?

Hinano: ...... ......

Emiri: ...Myaako-senpai?

Emiri: ...Myaako-senpai! Pull it together!!

Mitama: Ah, this isn't good...

Emiri: Huh, is something bad gonna happen?

Mitama: We need to get her outside as soon as possible! Help me!

Emiri: Kay!

[Barrier appears]

Mitama: --?!

Mitama: This is... a barrier entrance?!

*flashes*

Mitama: ...Kya!

*flashes*

Emiri: Ah... wawawa! ...Oh no!

*screen goes white*

Emiri: Myaako-senpai was...

Mitama: ...pulled into the barrier?!

---

Hinano: This is...

Hinano: Did... I pass out again?

???: Heh...

Hinano: --?!

Hinano: You, who are you?!

???: I am you. You are me.

???: You understand, don't you? You should, since it's you.

???: I am the me that you continued to nurture in your heart.

???: Your "desire." That is me.

Hinano: Why have you appeared in front of me?

???: That's because...

???: I will defeat you, so that I can become "me"!

*Hinano transforms*

---

Hinano: *pant pant*

???: You're persistent, aren't you...

???: But you can't defeat me.

???: I am the you from a time when you were freer.

???: A pure crystallization of you created from your "longing".

???: You, who kept your gaze averted from me for fear of making a mistake...

???: ...have no chance to win against me!

*flash*

Hinano: --?!

*doppel appears*

Hinano: (Woah... what is this?!)

Hinano: (A monster like this... was inside of me?)

Hinano: (......)

Hinano: (When I observe it closely...)

Hinano: (The reagents suspended around it... all of them are deadly poisons.)

Hinano: (It's like an amalgamation the thoughtless younger me would have come up with...)

Hinano: (A sexy white labcoat and long legs...)

Hinano: (This is certainly the product of my aspirations.)

Hinano: (So I'm going to be pushed around my entire life by this thing...)

Hinano: (...while making the same mistakes over and over, am I?)

Hinano: (Making the same mistakes, like five years ago and today.)

*flash*

Emiri: Myaako-senpai!!!

Emiri: No, no! I don't want us to part like this!

*flash*

Hinano: ...Huh?!

???: How's that!

???: With those short arms and legs of yours, you literally cannot reach me!

Hinano: ......

???: Have you lost the willpower to fight back?

???: If so, then I won't hold back...!

*Hinano disappears*

???: ...Y-... you dodged me?

Hinano: I'm sorry, but...

Hinano: I'm not dying yet!

???: Guaaah!

Hinano: There's someone who adores her "Myaako-senpai"...

Hinano: ...who's waiting for me!

???: Nguu...!

???: A tiny thing like you...!

Hinano: You see, the me right now...!

Hinano: She may have failed to become a sexy, mature kind of girl, but...

Hinano: I'm popular among the kids for being "little, friendly, and approchable"!

???: Uggh!

Hinano: ...And also, you see, it was because of this appearance of mine...

Hinano: ...that I was also able to meet my cute kouhai!

???: Guaaah...!

???: *pant pant* You... don't you have any regrets?!

???: Of long legs, of white labcoats, having these sexy dynamites...!

Hinano: ...I do.

???: What?!

Hinano: ...But, well...

Hinano: I've felt more like I'm okay like this rather than having to do it...

Hinano: Because I've been blessed with great comrades!

???: ......

???: In the end, are you giving up? On the height drug...?

Hinano: No, research shall continue.

???: ......?

Hinano: Research on a "completely safe height drug"...!

???: --?!

???: That in itself... is a goal that stimulates my ambition...

???: I look forward to its completion...

Hinano: ......

Hinano: She actually agreed to it...!

Hinano: --?!

Hinano: What is it now...?

*flash*

Mitama: The barrier... unravelled?

Hinano: ......

Emiri: Myaako-senpai???!!!

Emiri: T-... thank goodness!! You came back!!!!

Hinano: ...Emiri. I'm okay now.

Hinano: I need you thank you as well, Mitama.

Mitama: I'm so glad!

Mitama: Emiri-chan was shouting with teary eyes. ♪

*flashback*

Emiri: Myaako-senpai!!!

Emiri: No, no! I don't want us to part like this!

Hinano: ...Huh?

Hinano: Then... the voice I heard was...

Hinano: ...actually Emiri's?

Emiri: Hmm?

Hinano: ...Emiri.

Hinano: The reason I was able to come back is because you were here.

Hinano: ...Thank you, truly.

Emiri: Huh, what what? You're so formal!

Mitama: Fufufu... ♪

Mitama: ...Now then, Hinano-san will need some time to recover.

Mitama: So how about the adjuster gives you some special service? ♪

Emiri: Oooh! Seriously, seriously~?!

Emiri: Myaako-senpai! Good for you!

Hinano: ...Yeah, it is.

Hinano: Now, today was very tiring, so I'm going to go home...

Emiri: Thank you, Mitamaccho!

Alina: ......

Mitama: My, Alina? Welcome! ♪

Alina: ...There was absolutely no point to the reservation, was there?

Mitama: It seems like I've kept you waiting. I'm sorry...

Mitama: Ah, right, right... about that barrier earlier!

Mitama: You created that so Hinano-san could be isolated, right?

Mitama: You protected us from that scary doppel, didn't you? ♪

Alina: ...Because carrying her all slowly would have made it likely you wouldn't have escaped in time.

Alina: If the adjuster died, that would be a bad situation for Alina.

Mitama: I need to express my gratitude properly! I'll give you some special service, too, Alina! ♪

Alina: It's not often that I happen to be there at the moment of a release...

Alina: Since I got to see something interesting, I don't really need any sort of gratitude.

Mitama: Now don't say that! Let's start with an adjustment. ♪
