Part 13:

Momoko: The barrier's... here, but...

Meru: It's gotten quite a lot bigger, hasn't it...!

Kanagi: ...Just by that it means that a lot of people have been taken by it...

Mifuyu: While we've all been fighting...

Yachiyo: ...While we've only been concerned with what's happening to us...

Yachiyo: As magical girls, no... as people, we've forgotten what's truly important.

Tsuruno: ...Hmm... wait! Wait! Everyone, don't get so depressed!

Mifuyu: But this is something we really should reflect on.

Tsuruno: True, this definitely wasn't the time for territory battles or anything...

Tsuruno: But, the reason this barrier's gotten bigger...

Tsuruno: ...and this is just a maybe, but it's because of the magical girls that have been fighting each other.

Mifuyu: Huh?

Tsuruno: The victims of the misfortune that the witch spread...

Tsuruno: This time, it was us magical girls.

Tsuruno: In other words, we were its food.

Kanagi: ...And that's why it wanted us to fight?

Tsuruno: Yeah.

Kanagi: ...Then that means we've been nothing but fools.

Yachiyo: There's nothing I can say to that when it's had us dancing in the palm of its hand...

Kanagi: Aye... but we'll have our payback.

Mifuyu: There's so much we should reflect on.

Mifuyu: But before that, we've got to do what we came here to do.

Mifuyu: Yacchan!

Yachiyo: Yes, let's go! Everybody stay sharp!

------

Mifuyu: (That was careless...)

Mifuyu: (Now that I remember last time we came, some of us got separated.)

Mifuyu: (That should have been so easy to predict...)

Mifuyu: But now I'm all alone... Yacchan...

???: Oh hoho, could you be a teeny bit scaaaared?

Mifuyu: Huh... that voice?

Mifuyu?: Ohhhhh, of couuuuurse. Because you're losing your powers, duh.

Mifuyu: It's me?! Why...? What are you saying...?!

Mifuyu?: Mifuyu, y'know...

Mifuyu?: It ain't good that you can't use the powers you did before because of your magical power dropping.

Mifuyu?: At this rate, you're just gonna be a burden on everyone, aren't ya?

Mifuyu: T-that's... not true! Don't say such arbitrary things!

Mifuyu?: It was so, so painful, but...

Mifuyu?: To think that in the end, you'll drag down your friends and kill them!

Mifuyu: Stop...! That's not true...! I...

Mifuyu?: Poor Yacchan! To be killed by Mifuyu, who she trusted so much!

Mifuyu: No... that's not true...! My powers aren't failing me!

Mifuyu?: Buuuut, y'knoooow... that's reaaaally what it seems like~

Mifuyu: Enough!!

Mifuyu?: Mifuyu will kill Mifuyu for Mifuyu, k?

------

Mifuyu: Haa... haa... I won... I was able to beat her...

Mifuyu: It's fine... my powers aren't failing... it's fine...

Mifuyu: And what's more, with that I now understand the enemy's method.

Mifuyu: Fake versions of us...

Mifuyu: I've got to tell Yacchan that they're something like a copy of us.

Kanagi's voice: Gu... aaaaa!! What are you trying to do, Nanami?!

Mifuyu: That voice is...!

Yachiyo?: What, you say... what is it... I dunno...

Kanagi: Guh... was this a trap?

Kanagi: Were you all planning to eliminate me from the start...?

Yachiyo?: Won't you fight back...? This is boring... I'm so bored...

Kanagi: ...No, you're very weird. Are you being manipulated?

Yachiyo?: Let's do something... painful!

Kanagi: Grr... this is tricky!

Mifuyu's voice: That's enough!

Mifuyu: Haa!

Yachiyo?: Kyah!

Mifuyu: Kanagi-san, are you okay?

Kanagi: ..Azusa.

Mifuyu: You're not okay, are you... you've got some pretty rough injuries, and your magical power...

Kanagi: ...No, it was an embarrasing defeat, but it's nothing serious.

Mifuyu: Please use this.

Kanagi: --?!

Kanagi: Grief seeds are so precious, though. Are you sure?

Mifuyu: It may only be temporary, but right now we're teammates fighting together.

Mifuyu: It's an obvious thing to help my teammate in trouble.

Kanagi: ...It is a help. I'll definitely pay you back for this.

Mifuyu: Heh heh. Please don't worry about it so much.

Mifuyu: More importantly, let's exterminate this fake Yacchan.

Kanagi: Fake?

Fake Yachiyo: ...It hurts... it really hurts... heh... heh heh... it hurts so good!

Kanagi: ...No, you can explain it afterwards.

Mifuyu: Yes, let's beat what we need to beat first.

Fake Yachiyo: Hey... hey... let's do more... painful things...

Kanagi: ...What a tasteless person. I'll make you pay dearly for that surprise attack.

Kanagi: Azusa, you said we were teammates, right? Watch my back!

Mifuyu: Yes, leave the cover to me.

------

Part 14:

Kanagi: ...I see, I understand your story.

Kanagi: In short, that tasteless Nanami from before was merely a copy and not the real thing.

Mifuyu: Yes.

Mifuyu: I met a copy of myself as well. I think there are copies of everyone here.

Kanagi: ...and we learn the true colors of the attack perpetrators, now.

Mifuyu: That's one more piece of info for us. This explains the source of the attacks.

Kanagi: I think while we try to link back up with Nanami and the others, we should try to find the inner sanctum at the same time.

Kanagi: What do you think?

Mifuyu: I think that's a good idea. Yacchan and others are probably also doing the same thing, too.

------

Momoko?: ......

Yachiyo?: ...How about that? Is that enough to convince you that we're the real ones?

Kanagi: ...Aye, I can safely say you're the real Nanami and Togame.

Yachiyo: As long as you understand that, good.

Mifuyu: Haa... thank goodness... we were finally able to meet up with the real ones...

Momoko: Your magic comes in very handy, Kanagi-san. I wish we'd met up with you quicker.

Kanagi: It's hard to read someone when they're resisting it, though.

Mifuyu: Now all we need to find are Tusruno-san and Meru-san.

Yachiyo: ...Seriously, this is the same thing that happened the last time we were here...

Kanagi: Shall we continue to look for the inner sanctum while we're searching for those two?

Mifuyu: Yes, but let's be careful not to get separated...

???: Please stop! S-somebodyyyy!!

Mifuyu: That voice... Meru-san?!

Kanagi: Is she being attacked...?!

Yachiyo: Let's go!

Kanagi: Aye!

------

Tsuruno?: You're so stubborn... hurry up and die!

Meru?: Please stop, Tsuruno-san! What's gotten into you?!

Yachiyo: Meru!

Meru?: Please help me, Yachiyo-senpai! Tusurno-san's acting very strange!

Mifuyu: ...Huh?

Yachiyo: That Tsuruno is a fake! We'll help you now!

Yachiyo: Everyone, don't hold back just because it looks like Tsuruno!

Momoko: It's a bit difficult... but I understand.

Mifuyu: (Something's strange...)

Kanagi: Are you okay, Azusa? If it's too difficult for you, you can fall back.

Mifuyu: ...No, that's not it. Something's... making me uncomfortable about this...

Kanagi: Uncomfortable?

Fake Tsuruno: Ha! More people who are gonna let me see what their blood looks like have shown up... this is fucking great!

Yachiyo: Mifuyu, Kanagi! Quit spacing out! She's coming!

------

Fake Tsuruno: Damn...

Yachiyo: ...I'm putting an end to......

Kanagi: I'll put her out of her misery.

Kanagi: Even if her personality is completely different than the original, she still looks like your teammate, so...

Yachiyo: ...I appreciate it.

Kanagi: Haa!

Fake Tsuruno: Guaaaaah...!

Mifuyu: (Something... something... is still making me uncomfortable...)

Kanagi: Anna, are you okay?

Meru?: Yes! ...Huh? My legs gave out...

Kanagi: ...Nothing for it, give me your hand.

Meru?: Thank you very much! "I" (watashi) am grateful for the help.

Mifuyu: --?!

Mifuyu: Look out! Kanagi-san!

Fake Meru: And for letting me deceive you.

Kanagi: You...

Fake Meru: Aha! You can't get away from me at this distance.
