Forgive me. |
To the Okura family, the Sakurakouji family, and everyone who has been so close to me. It seems that my life ends here-- |
This was not the time to be thinking about what I should write on my death note. In the first place, there was no way I could leave a death note under these circumstances. |
Even if I could, there would be no guarantee that it would reach anyone. So before that, I can't just die here-- |
Asahi |
"Risona, get behind me!" |
Risona |
"What is this place? And what is this monster...? For real, I think this is a dream." |
Asahi |
"I'm sorry, but I don't think this is a dream." |
That's why I can't die. My sister, Risona... The only person who can protect her from the monster in front of us is me, right here, right now. |
So, how on earth did I get into this situation? This all started with that - Train Fashion Show. |
Luna |
"Hmm, so this is the Train Fashion Show?" |
Risona |
"It is a show held on a train... Labelled exactly as it says on the tin." |
Minato |
"Ahaha, isn't it easy to understand? As they say, simple is beeest~ sorta." |
The train fashion show was held on a scrapped train. The decorated train car is used as a runway and models parade through it in a spectacular show. |
Top designers from the industry took part, and it was so popular that the tickets are sold out very quickly-- |
Risona |
"Luna-chomu knows the organiser of the show." |
Luna |
"Ah. I didn't remember that, but apparently we are acquainted with each other. I was invited as a VIP." |
Asahi |
"Lady Luna, I don't know if I would call that acquainted." |
However, since we are students at Filia Girl's Academy, a fashion school, this is a very good place to study about fashion shows. For that reason, we have gratefully accepted the invitation to participate. |
Minato |
"Hmm, would've been great if Ursule and Mizuho could come too." |
Luna |
"I heard they both have things to do at home. I guess it can't be helped." |
Asahi |
"Dearest ladies, I heard that there are various items on display in the compartment over there." |
Risona |
"Sounds interesting, let's go there." |
---- |
Minato |
"Oh, lookie here, there's beautiful mirrors on display." |
In the centre of the compartment were two mirrors in a glass showcase. One was a crescent-shaped mirror with decorated with gold, and the other was a cloud-shaped mirror decorated with silver. |
Risona |
"It's kind of a mysterious-looking mirror." |
Luna |
"What what...? Hmm, a mirror of the moon and a mirror of the mist." |
The silver mirror seemed to represent mist, not clouds. The front of the showcase were explanations about the two mirrors. |
Luna |
"The mirror of the mist is said to 'give power to the maiden who wishes in the thick mist'." |
Minato |
"Uhm, the mirror of the moon says... 'On the night of the full moon, when a maiden makes a wish on the mirror of the moon, it will come true'." |
Risona |
"Heh, a mirror that makes wishes come true, that would sure raise a hell lot of eyebrows." |
Asahi |
"Come to think of it, I think tonight is a full moon..." |
Suddenly remembered, I turned my eyes to the train window. The moon, shining brightly, was clearly visible in the sky. |
Minato |
"Oho, so you wanna make a wish in the mirror or something?" |
Luna |
"Oh, come on, this is all just superstition obviously." |
Minato |
"I know, but I reckon' I should just go with the flow here." |
Risona |
"A wish, I see... I want to go isekai and be an unrivalled- nah..." |
As if in response to Risona's words, the mirror of the moon emitted a bright light. |
Risona |
"WEEEEEEEAH, wa, wait, I'm just joking about that part!" |
Minato |
"No no no no, nay nay, o'nay." |
Luna |
"Hey, did you hear something?" |
Asahi |
"I hear it too. But I don't know what it is... It's as if it's echoing directly in my head." |
Voice in head |
"...I'm sick of fulfilling your human desires." |
Voice in head |
"But, you wished to go to an otherworld." |
Risona |
"Eh, no, that was a bit of a joke..., or really, what's going on, what's this voice...?" |
Voice in head |
"I've been waiting for that wish for a long time. So, I'll grant your wish to make it happen--" |
Immediately after the voice told us this, a dazzling light flooded out from the mirror of the moon. And the four of us were enveloped by the light-- |
Asahi |
"Oh, no... Lady Luna, Risona, Minato!?" |
Asahi |
"What in the world is happening... ugh, the glare--" |
I found myself with Risona in this strange meadow. We were trying to find Luna and Minato, who were nowhere to be seen, when suddenly these monsters appeared. |
Asahi |
"Risona, I'll attract their attention, then you can run away." |
Risona |
"It's impossible, I'm not leaving you." |
The monster was closing in. |
Asahi |
(It's no use, I have to make up my mind--) |
??? |
"Conductor, please cover me!" |
??? |
"Engaging!" |
As I grit my teeth and awaited the monster's blow, I suddenly heard a woman's voice. |
Immediately afterwards, a strange light flew towards the monsters. As if by magic, one of the monsters was obliterated. |
Asahi |
"T-that was...". |
Risona |
"...M-magic?" |
I looked towards where the light flew. Two women are there. They were in otherworldly-looking gear, their weapons at the ready, and immediately closed the gap between them and the monsters. |
Behind them was a man who appears to be their commander. Next to him was a girl assisting him. |
The commander instructed the two women what to do. |
Queensway |
"Affirmative!" |
Vivienne |
"Oui, orders received!" |
The two women confronted the monster in spectacular fashion. |
