The curtain was about to come down on the real battle, known as the Dream Magic Show. |
The clashing dark magic, decorated by Dream Magic, scattered a black glow over the audience and the sky, presenting the audience with a fantastic sight they had never seen before. |
And Nightmare, who had regained her desire to please others, never skipped a beat, fighting and playing the role of a lively villain -- |
Quedlinburg |
"Now, this is the end!" |
Nightmare |
"AAAAAAAAAHH!!" |
--and, in spectacular fashion, she lost to Quedlinburg. |
Quedlinburg |
"Magic Warrior Quedlin, the great victory!!" |
*Applause* |
Quedlinburg, dressed in a golden costume, roared at her victory in high spirits, and the audience erupted into thunderous applause and cheers. |
Amidst all this, Quedlinburg rushed to the fallen Nightmare. |
|
Quedlinburg |
"MISS NIGHTMARE!" |
Nightmare's face was radiant, despite her imminent extinction. |
Nightmare |
"Ahh, amazing applause... Thank you, all of you. Thanks to you, I got to see the joy on everyone's faces at Harz..." |
Nightmare |
"Oh, please don't cry. Crying would ruin the show. I'm happy now, okay?" |
Quedlinburg |
"Yes. I'll hold my tears, I'll hold them...!" |
Nightmare |
"Well done. Great job, Quedlinburg." |
Quedlinburg |
"I will never, ever forget today...!" |
Wernigerode |
"Me too. I am proud to have been part of this Dream Magic at its best." |
Shanghai |
"I had a lot of fun too!" |
Nightmare |
"Heheh... Bye, everyone. Farewell--" |
With parting words, Nightmare's body bursted into rainbows and disappeared. It was like confetti on a stage. |
Quedlinburg |
"Miss Nightmare..." |
Shanghai |
"How beautiful..." |
Wernigerode |
"As expected of the Mage of Harz. This is truly Dream Magic." |
Quedlinburg |
"...Miss Nightmare is amazing. You beat me to it." |
Wernigerode |
"Heheh, Quedlinburg is no slouch either. Because, you see, the cheers are for your performance." |
Quedlinburg |
"Not true, it's the cheers we all get." |
Shanghai |
"What are you talking about? Isn't 'Quedlin the Magic Warrior' the performance, and you the star, Quedlinburg?" |
Wernigerode |
"That's what I meant. Look, you have to go and greet the audience." |
Quedlinburg |
"Wowie, don't push me like that, both of you." |
Quedlinburg stood in the middle of the stage again as Wernigerode and Shanghai forced her out. |
And she bowed deeply to the even louder cheers - she then shouted. |
Quedlinburg |
"HAPPY HALLOWEEN!" |
The Halloween Dream Magic show was over, and the sun had already set by the time we returned to the inn. |
A lot has happened over the course of the day, but looking back, I feel as if I've been in a dream world for a long time, probably due to the location of Harz. |
Quedlinburg |
"Huff..." |
Wernigerode |
"What's the matter, Quedlinburg? Why the long face?" |
Quedlinburg |
"When I think back on it, I wonder if it was right for me to be the star of the show..." |
Wernigerode |
"You are still saying that? You're the star of the show today. You have to smile or you'll be disrespectful to Nightmare." |
Quedlinburg |
"Yes, you're right, I should put my heart out and smile for Miss Nightmare's sake." |
Wernigerode |
'Yes, that's right. Everyone is supposed to smile on Halloween in Harz. Sighs and tears are essentially outlawed." |
Shanghai |
"Waaaaah, I lost everyone again! Everyone, please find Shanghai pleeeeease~~!" |
Wernigerode |
"I-I just told her..." |
Wernigerode |
"Can't help it. I'm going to go and find Miss Shanghai again with my dream magic." |
Quedlinburg |
"Wernigerode, I'm coming wit- but I can't see her anymore. Nothing I can do then, I'll just wait here." |
Goslar |
"There you are, Quedlinburg." |
Quedlinburg |
"Professor Goslar. Have you settled your matter at the Academy yet?" |
Goslar |
"No, not yet. But I had something I really wanted to give to you, Quedlinburg. That's why I snuck out." |
Saying this, Goslar offered her a beautiful flower. |
Goslar |
"Quedlinburg, this is a present from one of your fans." |
Quedlinburg |
"Wait, I have a FAN!?" |
Goslar |
"Yes. 'Not only do I love Wernigerode, but I love Quedlinburg too,' she told." |
Quedlinburg |
"Don't tell me that girl is..." |
Goslar |
"You get the idea - the magi of Harz are the ones who put a smile on everyone's face. You should take good care of your fans." |
Having said that, Goslar swiftly returned to the academy. |
Quedlinburg |
"I see... I was able to make her happy." |
Quedlinburg |
"Then I'll have to work even harder." |
Quedlinburg |
"Miss Nightmare. I'll definitely complete my Dream Magic one day too. So, if we meet again, please come on stage with me again." |
Quedlinburg hugged the flower she had received as she whispered to herself. |
