"It's a terrible story." |
Upon returning to the ground after our investigation, and them being told the truth of what Termini had surmised - The members of Termini's Classroom were all sad-faced. |
![Story Zouérat.png](/images/9/96/Story_Zou%C3%A9rat.png) Zouérat |
"Yes. It's terrible, how despicable. Even after Professor Termini's disciple protected and saved everyone." |
![Story Zouérat.png](/images/9/96/Story_Zou%C3%A9rat.png) Zouérat |
"Not only were they ungrateful, but they even framed and slaughtered her..." |
![Story Salem.png](/images/9/99/Story_Salem.png) Salem |
"Yes, yes. It shouldn't have happened. I feel rather sorry for her, to be honest." |
![Story Salem.png](/images/9/99/Story_Salem.png) Salem |
"Although we had it coming, we witches have a history of being persecuted as 'Fallen Divine Children'..." |
![Story Termini.png](/images/f/fc/Story_Termini.png) Termini |
"Mhm. You all are right and noble to feel that way." |
![Story Termini.png](/images/f/fc/Story_Termini.png) Termini |
"But. Whatever tragedy that has transpired, that is no reason to kill people for suffering." |
![Story Termini.png](/images/f/fc/Story_Termini.png) Termini |
"Besides. This was all a long time ago. The people living in this town now are not the ones who tortured 'that girl' to death back then." |
![Story Termini.png](/images/f/fc/Story_Termini.png) Termini |
"It's not right that people today are being treated badly because of what their ancestors did. That's what I think so, but I don't know about you all." |
![Story Napoli.png](/images/d/dd/Story_Napoli.png) Napoli |
"........." |
![Story Termini.png](/images/f/fc/Story_Termini.png) Termini |
"For me, it's not about the past. I knew 'that girl' when she was alive - We eventually parted ways, but I loved her like family." |
![Story Termini.png](/images/f/fc/Story_Termini.png) Termini |
"Therefore. I'm no stranger to this, so I'm the only one who will stop 'that girl', no matter what anyone says. I will wipe away the curse of 'that girl'." |
![Story Termini.png](/images/f/fc/Story_Termini.png) Termini |
"That's the least I can do to make amends. My last gift to 'that girl', from a useless teacher who couldn't make 'Her' happy." |
![Story Monte Carlo.png](/images/6/6d/Story_Monte_Carlo.png) Monte Carlo |
"...I agree with you, Teacher." |
![Story Monte Carlo.png](/images/6/6d/Story_Monte_Carlo.png) Monte Carlo |
"I, too, suffered rather unreasonable and terrible things because of what my mother allegedly did. Because of that, I couldn't continue swimming in the subterranean universe anymore..." |
![Story Monte Carlo.png](/images/6/6d/Story_Monte_Carlo.png) Monte Carlo |
"I'm not at all happy about it and I'm pissed off about it. I can't tolerate the events of what happened in the past to be blamed in the present." |
![Story Salem.png](/images/9/99/Story_Salem.png) Salem |
"I am not to point of unable to forgive, but I can't accept it all the same. Even now, in my home town, the Witch Forest, there is still fear and hatred of the existence of Divine Children..." |
![Story Salem.png](/images/9/99/Story_Salem.png) Salem |
"The Divine Child who I met in the SSS, Lady Paddington, was a kind and good person. She cared for me, recognised me and relied on me--" |
![Story Salem.png](/images/9/99/Story_Salem.png) Salem |
"Ah, how can anyone hate such a precious and loving person? The frictions and troubles of the past have nothing to do with us, who live in the present." |
![Story Zouérat.png](/images/9/96/Story_Zou%C3%A9rat.png) Zouérat |
"I don't have my own in-depth thoughts like everyone else. I'm a bit ashamed of myself, however..." |
![Story Zouérat.png](/images/9/96/Story_Zou%C3%A9rat.png) Zouérat |
"It's our job in the SSS to exterminate monsters and put an end to tragedies. We are already paid, so we should be working properly." |
![Story Termini.png](/images/f/fc/Story_Termini.png) Termini |
"I think that's a great 'Reason to fight' too. Unlike me, you girls aren't worried about dying, not because you'll just be reincarnated -" |
![Story Termini.png](/images/f/fc/Story_Termini.png) Termini |
"But because all of you definitely fight hard to survive." |
Conductor |
We've come to a consensus. I want all of you - to do your best to solve the incident that's happening in this town.
Naturally, I will also support you all with my Iron Injection, and other measures. |
![Story Zouérat.png](/images/9/96/Story_Zou%C3%A9rat.png) Zouérat |
"Why are you suddenly saying something cool... You're supposed to be just a perverted douchebag who simply wants to sexually harass others..." |
Conductor |
I'm not a perverted douchebag, I'm the Conductor of the Special Steel Squad fighting to save the world. |
![Story Napoli.png](/images/d/dd/Story_Napoli.png) Napoli |
"The Special Steel Squad--" |
![Story Napoli.png](/images/d/dd/Story_Napoli.png) Napoli |
"Everyone of the SSS are amazing. Unlike Napoli, who's so scared and confused, can barely even stand up properly." |
![Story Zouérat.png](/images/9/96/Story_Zou%C3%A9rat.png) Zouérat |
"Heh... I was the same way at first." |
![Story Salem.png](/images/9/99/Story_Salem.png) Salem |
"Yes. Even now, I still feel fear, I can't stand it...♪" |
![Story Monte Carlo.png](/images/6/6d/Story_Monte_Carlo.png) Monte Carlo |
"But. We have friends we can trust and we have days of training and studying ahead of us." |
![Story Zouérat.png](/images/9/96/Story_Zou%C3%A9rat.png) Zouérat |
"Yes. So we already know that there is no need to be afraid." |
![Story Napoli.png](/images/d/dd/Story_Napoli.png) Napoli |
"Napoli -" |
![Story Napoli.png](/images/d/dd/Story_Napoli.png) Napoli |
"Napoli too, want to be like that too, sì. Want to be strong, smart and cool like everyone else!" |
![Story Napoli.png](/images/d/dd/Story_Napoli.png) Napoli |
"Napoli doesn't want to live in a town that can't be accepted, where nobody cared, where living is no different to being dead - Napoli doesn't want to live like that anymore sì!" |
![Story Zouérat.png](/images/9/96/Story_Zou%C3%A9rat.png) Zouérat |
"Come to think of it, I wonder why they treated you so badly, Napoli." |
![Story Termini.png](/images/f/fc/Story_Termini.png) Termini |
"Napolitan's ancestor, which is 'that girl', was treated like a villain and tortured to death. Even today, after the generations have changed, the children of criminals are still thought of as criminals, and they are still discriminated against." |
![Story Monte Carlo.png](/images/6/6d/Story_Monte_Carlo.png) Monte Carlo |
"Ugh~, it's still a terrible story. Napo, you are such a good girl." |
![Story Zouérat.png](/images/9/96/Story_Zou%C3%A9rat.png) Zouérat |
"Yes. Once we have resolved everything here, why don't you come with us... Napoli? You don't have to live with being bullied, suffering and putting up with it anymore." |
![Story Napoli.png](/images/d/dd/Story_Napoli.png) Napoli |
"Aye, Napoli thinks it would be great if there is such a future too. If there's a way to live happily with everyone, somewhere far away--" |
![Story Termini.png](/images/f/fc/Story_Termini.png) Termini |
"Mhm. I'm sure there is such a future waiting for you." |
Termini still smiled nostalgically and hugged Napoli from behind. She then held her with the same hand she clutched her staff. |
![Story Termini.png](/images/f/fc/Story_Termini.png) Termini |
"No. This time, I want to give you a future like that. I want to fulfil your simple wish to live happily." |
![Story Termini.png](/images/f/fc/Story_Termini.png) Termini |
"I should have cared for her until the very end, even if she was a bad child who disobeyed me. I should have thought a little more about 'that girl' who left me, instead of giving up on her." |
![Story Termini.png](/images/f/fc/Story_Termini.png) Termini |
"At the time, I only thought of 'That child' as a reincarnation vessel to which I would one day transfer my soul - or maybe that's what I really is. But even then, I was still her teacher." |
![Story Termini.png](/images/f/fc/Story_Termini.png) Termini |
"I should have at least made sure I knew what was going on with my students. If I had done so, I might have avoided 'that girl's' unfortunate death, she who had great talent." |
![Story Termini.png](/images/f/fc/Story_Termini.png) Termini |
"I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry, I'm a bad teacher." |
![Story Napoli.png](/images/d/dd/Story_Napoli.png) Napoli |
"Wise Saggia--" |
![Story Termini.png](/images/f/fc/Story_Termini.png) Termini |
"It's too late for regrets now. We study and learn, so that we don't repeat the mistakes of the past." |
Termini said interestingly as she gripped her staff over Napoli's palm. His whole body is full of radiance and -. |
![Story Termini.png](/images/f/fc/Story_Termini.png) Termini |
"Napolitan. You have inherited the gift of magic from 'that girl'." |
![Story Termini.png](/images/f/fc/Story_Termini.png) Termini |
"No. If you can recreate the Train so elaborately even though no one taught you anything - Perhaps you are already even more talented than 'that girl'." |
![Story Napoli.png](/images/d/dd/Story_Napoli.png) Napoli |
"Eh? Eh? Napoli, doesn't think that's big a deal, is it?" |
![Story Termini.png](/images/f/fc/Story_Termini.png) Termini |
"Of course not. Talent alone is not enough to win a battle, and 'that girl' who was a genius was tortured to death by mere civilians." |
![Story Termini.png](/images/f/fc/Story_Termini.png) Termini |
"However. If you make the right effort and keep on studying, you will surely be second to none. Maybe you will become a great magician who will go down in history." |
![Story Termini.png](/images/f/fc/Story_Termini.png) Termini |
"Salem, Monte Carlo, Zouérat - Each and every one of you has an irreplaceable talent." |
![Story Termini.png](/images/f/fc/Story_Termini.png) Termini |
"My fellow cute students... I can't wait to see the bright futures you all are going to build." |
![Story Monte Carlo.png](/images/6/6d/Story_Monte_Carlo.png) Monte Carlo |
"What? Are you going to die now, Professor Termini?" |
![Story Zouérat.png](/images/9/96/Story_Zou%C3%A9rat.png) Zouérat |
"Yeah. It's strange, Professor, you're suddenly talking as if you're writing your last will and testament--" |
![Story Salem.png](/images/9/99/Story_Salem.png) Salem |
"Yes. It's not like you, Professor. Aren't you usually the one who's always smiling at us and dishing out devilish abuse like an inhumane monster?" |
![Story Termini.png](/images/f/fc/Story_Termini.png) Termini |
"That's uncalled for... I was just reminiscing about my past and being a little 'Heartbroken'." |
![Story Termini.png](/images/f/fc/Story_Termini.png) Termini |
"Well, that's okay. If a teacher isn't firm, the students will get anxious. Dispiace dispiace, you're right - It wasn't like me." |
![Story Termini.png](/images/f/fc/Story_Termini.png) Termini |
"I'm sure 'that girl' will laugh at me behaving like this." |
Termini smiled innocently looking around at her students. Then, with a nudge on her chin, she then signaled all of them to lean in towards Napoli and told them - |
![Story Termini.png](/images/f/fc/Story_Termini.png) Termini |
"Moving on, I want Napolitan to make all the curses swirling around this town disappear." |
![Story Napoli.png](/images/d/dd/Story_Napoli.png) Napoli |
"Eh? Eeeh? What do you mean, sì? But Napoli, can't do something so difficult~?" |
![Story Termini.png](/images/f/fc/Story_Termini.png) Termini |
"We study so that we make the 'impossible', 'possible'. Of course, only geniuses can do it well from the start, but don't worry, we'll help you." |
![Story Termini.png](/images/f/fc/Story_Termini.png) Termini |
"Right now, the Gashadokuros and the gangster monsters that are now stirring on the ground - they are driven by the grudge of 'that girl'." |
![Story Termini.png](/images/f/fc/Story_Termini.png) Termini |
"The grudge of 'that girl' is the cause of all this, she wants to take revenge on the people of the town who slaughtered her, and make them suffer forever." |
![Story Termini.png](/images/f/fc/Story_Termini.png) Termini |
"We're going to make that curse disappear. To be more specific, we have to override it with a different order and stop it. In order to do that, we require the help of a descendant of 'that child', meaning -" |
![Story Termini.png](/images/f/fc/Story_Termini.png) Termini |
"We need you, Napolitan, who has almost the same magical power as 'that girl'." |
![Story Termini.png](/images/f/fc/Story_Termini.png) Termini |
"If you pray hard enough, the curse will stop. Magic is in its original form, a method of deceiving the world, and bending its laws--" |
![Story Termini.png](/images/f/fc/Story_Termini.png) Termini |
"You and 'That child' are so alike that the world will be fooled." |
![Story Termini.png](/images/f/fc/Story_Termini.png) Termini |
"If we fight it normally, I don't think we can destroy the Gashadokuros, as it regenerates and multiplies infinitely. Everything's a test, and if you succeed, that's good - You should give it a try." |
![Story Napoli.png](/images/d/dd/Story_Napoli.png) Napoli |
"Eeeeeeh? But, um, that's probably impossible, sì? It won't succeed, Because Napoli's magic is self-taught - Don't know about anything else!" |
![Story Termini.png](/images/f/fc/Story_Termini.png) Termini |
"Stai bene, stai bene. First of all, you'll be pampered with a tutorial class, so Professor Termini will assist you this time." |
![Story Zouérat.png](/images/9/96/Story_Zou%C3%A9rat.png) Zouérat |
"And we'll help you too, you know." |
![Story Monte Carlo.png](/images/6/6d/Story_Monte_Carlo.png) Monte Carlo |
"Mhm. Our opponent may be the best of Termini's past students, and countering her curse naturally feels difficult, however -" |
![Story Monte Carlo.png](/images/6/6d/Story_Monte_Carlo.png) Monte Carlo |
"We're not that bad either." |
![Story Salem.png](/images/9/99/Story_Salem.png) Salem |
"Yes. The curse must have weakened over such a long time -" |
![Story Salem.png](/images/9/99/Story_Salem.png) Salem |
"We will all entrust you with our powers, Lady Napoli. Even if the curse has mixed with the Phantom Mist and became more vicious, I am sure that we will be able to defeat it." |
![Story Salem.png](/images/9/99/Story_Salem.png) Salem |
"We of the SSS will not be defeated by the Phantom Mist. After all, the dead are always more fragile than the living." |
![Story Napoli.png](/images/d/dd/Story_Napoli.png) Napoli |
"Umm, umm...?" |
![Story Termini.png](/images/f/fc/Story_Termini.png) Termini |
"In short, we're all in this together with you." |
The members of Termini's Classroom adhere firmly to the bewildered Napoli. The magical power they poured into her made her whole body glow with colours. |
The dazzling light of hope brightly illuminated the cursed town of ash. In the middle of such a shimmering light, was Napoli, still bewildered - Yet she's smiling. |
![Story Napoli.png](/images/d/dd/Story_Napoli.png) Napoli |
"Still really don't know anything, sì. But for some reason, it's not so scary anymore sì." |
![Story Napoli.png](/images/d/dd/Story_Napoli.png) Napoli |
"As long as everyone's together, it feels like any miracle can happen...♪" |
Napoli whispered gratefully and raised her wand high in the air. At the tip of the wand, a flash of light bursted out as if the sun had exploded. |
![Story Napoli.png](/images/d/dd/Story_Napoli.png) Napoli |
"--Antenati!" |
![Story Napoli.png](/images/d/dd/Story_Napoli.png) Napoli |
"Please, please let Napoli move on like this! Let me live with everyone, today, tomorrow and forever - Let me live!" |
![Story Napoli.png](/images/d/dd/Story_Napoli.png) Napoli |
"Napoli, will be happy! Even for your sake! Will live happily ever after, with nobody holding a grudge or cursing Napoli anymore!" |
![Story Napoli.png](/images/d/dd/Story_Napoli.png) Napoli |
"Even if, that may not be any consolation to you! Napoli will never waste the soul inherited from you, and the life you have gifted!" |
Gashadokuro |
"........." |
The radiance emitted from the tip of her wand drowned out the Gashadokuro surrounding the town of ash. |
Purified by the light of hope, what did the departed who cursed the world think? - Was it still hatred? Envy? Or was it hope? |
![Story Termini.png](/images/f/fc/Story_Termini.png) Termini |
"Bye-bye. My cute, and precious, student." |
![Story Termini.png](/images/f/fc/Story_Termini.png) Termini |
"I'm sorry. You left so suddenly without saying anything. I haven't even been able to say goodbye like this to you for a long time--" |
Termini was visibly shaken as she confessed her inner feelings. I hugged and supported her from behind. |
Saying goodbye is always sad, though. As a fellow teacher in the same school, I dared to tell her - Stand firm in front of your students, Teacher Termini. |
![Story Termini.png](/images/f/fc/Story_Termini.png) Termini |
"Mhm... Yes, 'Teacher Conductor' is right." |
![Story Termini.png](/images/f/fc/Story_Termini.png) Termini |
"If a teacher isn't firm, then the students will be worried." |
![Story Termini.png](/images/f/fc/Story_Termini.png) Termini |
"We can't let up until we get everything sorted out... This is still a school trip until we get home." |
The cursed city of ash shone brightly in the light of magic. It was like a dawn of light shining brightly on our way forward. |
