Due to circumstances that rendered her unable to return home, Shirabe spends the night at Tsubasa’s, but-.

Chris: Hm, those two went home already… what’re they up to?

Tsubasa: They appear to be in a spot of trouble.

Shirabe: This is so inconvenient, Kiri-chan……

Kirika: I can’t believe it, I didn’t think we’d end up out in the cold again……

Tsubasa: Oi, you two. What seems to be the matter?

Kirika: Tsubasa-san, Chris-senpai! Actually, what went down was……

Shirabe: Ah……

Chris: The hell? So your water tank broke open?

Tsubasa: So it was collateral damage from that recent battle?

Shirabe: Thanks to that, our place is completely drenched.

Kirika: We can’t even sleep because of the heavy flooding coming from the ceiling……

Tsubasa: In that case, you should stay with me. The least I can do is give you a place to stay until your own is put in order.

Kirika: Whoa, that’s our Tsubasa-san! So reliable!

Shirabe: We’re very thankful.

Tsubasa: It’s no problem, merely my duty as a role model.

Chris: Hold on a second!

Tsubasa: What’s the matter, Yukine?

Chris: As their senior, I can’t keep quiet! My place has just as much room for you to stay in! Come stay with me!

Tsubasa: What are you saying? They said they would come to my residence, you don’t need to be so…

Chris: -if you come to my place, we’ll have a snack buffet. How about that!?

Kirika: A snack…… buffet!?

Shirabe: That’s an attractive proposal……

Tsubasa: You would go that far? Above all that, isn’t temptation unfair?

Chris: Says who? The ends justify the means, and in the end, they’ll be coming with me!

Tsubasa. Hrmph. Sweets will - fatten you up.

Kirika: Ah!

Shirabe: Now that you mention it, even Maria’s been extremely fixated on the bathroom scale recently……

Tsubasa: You won’t need to worry about that at my place. I’ll treat you perfectly, from physical conditioning to nutrition.

Chris: Tch, can you call that temptation, or is this just intimidation……!?

Tsubasa: And then, ah…… as a matter of fact, I was thinking I might like to get sushi for dinner tonight-

Kirika: Su, sushi!? Uh, but even the ones that are this tiny cost 100 yen for two!

Shirabe: Th, this is overflowing luxury……!

Tsubasa: No, it’s just catering from a sushi chef I know well…… ah, I can assure you of the flavor.

Kirika: I had a kinda outrageous hunch it was a top artist’s sushi chef friend.

Shirabe: Mhm, the two of us might perish in an explosion of flavor……

Chris: You’re the one who’s pretty unfair, huh!

Tsubasa: It’s not like that, it’s merely hospitality for guests.

Chris: Well, if so, I’ll make you two, uh, some top-notch spaghetti……

Tsubasa: Let’s add some snow crab to that.

Chris: Dammit! Anyways, c'mon!

Kirika: Aah!?

Tsubasa: You’ll be coming with me!

Shirabe: Aah!?

Chris: I’ll spoil you like crazy and show Tsubasa who’s top gun!

Tsubasa: I’ll show you what it means to be an exemplary host, Tsukuyomi!

Kirika: Shirabe-!

Shirabe: Kiri-chan……!

Tsubasa: Alright, it’s not much, but go on and make yourself comfortable.

Shirabe: Ah, this is a surprise……

Tsubasa: What’s the matter? Don’t restrain yourself.

Shirabe: No, what I’ve heard is that you’re not very good at cleaning up, and that your room’s always a big mess, so……

Tsubasa: It’s nothing like that. The soul of a sword is as clear as a polished mirror and serene as still water. One must not hold even an iota of disorder in one’s heart, or in one’s living room.

Shirabe: Umm, but there’s a note here: “I cleaned up for you. -Ogawa”

Tsubasa: Tch- I’ve failed!

Tsubasa: Very well. As promised, let’s have some sushi.

Shirabe: Please wait! If I indulge, it won’t be with Kiri-chan…… I’m sorry.

Tsubasa: ……very well. I understand.

Tsubasa: Well then, the next time you two come over, I promise that we’ll have sushi.

Shirabe: I’m sorry for being so selfish. Thank you so much.

Tsubasa: No, it’s me who wasn’t mature. I apologize.

Tsubasa: But what shall we do about tonight’s dinner?

Shirabe: In return for providing me with a place to stay, please let me make dinner.

Tsubasa: That sort of thanks isn’t necessary…… but if that will put you at ease, Tsukuyomi, please do.

Shirabe: Okay.

Shirabe: Thank you for waiting. I made it out of whatever was on hand, so it’s pretty simple, but…

Tsubasa: Th, this is……! To think you could make something this amazing, with only leftovers from the refrigerator……!

Shirabe: When I was under Mom’s supervision, we took turns with playing cook.

Tsubasa: I’ve spent all my time honing my blade, so I can hardly do any housework. Seeing this masterpiece makes me ashamed of my inability……!

Shirabe: There, there, please don’t be discouraged……

Tsubasa: Such regret……!

Tsubasa: Are you sure you don’t mind using the futon?

Shirabe: It’s alright. Please, don’t worry about taking the bed.

Tsubasa. Very well. I shall gladly do so, then.

Shirabe: Alright. Thank you very much for everything today.

Tsubasa: It wasn’t much. Anyways, shall I turn off the light?

Shirabe: Please do; good night.

Tsubasa: Ah, sleep well.

Tsubasa: (…………)

Tsubasa: (To think I’d be reminded of my own weakness in a time like this……)

Tsubasa: (…………)

Tsubasa: Mmmph…… something hurts-

Tsubasa: Tsukuyomi!? Why are you in my bed!?

Shirabe: Mm…. munya……

Tsubasa: Is she still half-asleep……?

Shirabe: Mmu, m…… Maria, Kiri-chan…… I wish we could’ve given Mom some sushi, too……

Tsubasa: -it must be sleep-talking. Though, with an embrace this strong, I can’t help being unable to sleep.

Shirabe: Don’t….. don’t leave me behind…… It’s lonely by myself……

Tsubasa: ……

Tsubasa: I can’t bring myself to wake her up. Hm, every now and then, this sort of thing is fine.

Shirabe: Kiri-chan……

Tsubasa: The way she’s burying her face in my chest…… it’s so cute.

Shirabe: Mm, somehow this cushion isn’t enough……

Tsubasa: ! How did Tsukuyomi, of all people, give me a simple shock……!?

Kirika: Shirabe-! At last, at last, we’re back together……!

Shirabe: Kiri-chan……!

Tsubasa: They were only apart for a night, but they’re already like this.

Chris: So, ah, sorry about yesterday. I was being too proud……

Tsubasa: Seeing those two, I came to realize I was acting strangely.

Chris: Yeah, me too.

Tsubasa: The next time this happens, let’s take turns with regards to whose residence everyone stays at.

Chris: Y, you’ll come over too!? Why’s that?

Tsubasa: Will it be an issue?

Chris: Nah, not really- it…… won’t be a problem, but……

Tsubasa: (Now that I think of it, Tsukuyomi was….. saying something about a cushion last night.)

Kirika: Hm? What’s up?

Tsubasa: ……tch!

Kirika: Wh, what is it!?

Tsubasa: She’s quite developed- and even Yukine……!

Chris: What’s the matter?

Tsubasa: ……this anguish is something you can’t understand, Yukine!

No TL notes this time either.



Thanks again for waiting - again, life happens. Thanks as always to @carolnein​ for keeping things nice and coherent, and a huge thank-you to Glitch Infel on the r/symphogear Discord server for the TL check that saved this from being a Duwang-level trainwreck!
