"Miyako, what are you doing alone?" |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"Yoshino-chan..." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"I was looking at the straw dolls that Shimoamazu the First made. I thought it would be a good way to learn about sorcery." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Haha Amazu's straw dolls are very guarded. They don't react to any bit of magic." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"It's true, no matter what I do, they don't move an inch. Even though I'm confident in my ability to handle dolls." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Yoshino played with one." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"Did you play well?" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Yoshino couldn't do it right away. It took me days to get the hang of it." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"But you did. I knew it, Yoshino-chan, you're amazing..." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"But you see, actually, Yoshino put in a lot of effort to play with the straw doll." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Haha Amazu told me that she couldn't start treatment until Yoshino could play with the straw doll. She told me to tell her when Yoshino could move it." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"I see. It's training. To withstand strong sorcery. Yuuzen-san told me to do the same thing. |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Yuuzen, she is kind after all. She said she wouldn't take you as a disciple." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"I'm not her disciple. I'm just chasing her around. I want to become a strong sorceress like her. |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"Oh, strong doesn't mean being violent..." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Don't worry, Yoshino understands, the 'strength' Miyako wants is not that easy." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Yuuzen was so cool when she played with the dolls at Hinayashiki. She hugged the dolls, said kind words, and helped everyone." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"Yes, she saved everyone there. Of the dolls that were demonized, of goshujin-sama. Yuuzen-san was surely intended to do all that from the very beginning." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"But I was different. I have to take responsibility. I have to save people. For that, I had to sacrifice Hinayashiki and myself." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"There are things that people can do and things that they can't do. If you can only do one thing, but try to do two things, you may end up losing both." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Yoshino almost lost both. But it didn't happen because of Shashou and everyone from the SSS." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"How can we help more people? Even if I act efficiently and make the right choices, things can still go wrong." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Yoshino doesn't know about that. But Yoshino thinks there's a difference between Miyako and Yuuzen that's observable." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"Tell me. What are the differences between me and Yuuzen?" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Yuuzen was good at communicating with dolls." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"I think I understand the hearts of dolls, don't I?" |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Yes, that's right, Miyako understands the hearts of dolls better than anyone else." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"But, Miyako, in order for people and dolls to be able to communicate with each other, it is necessary for you to understand the hearts of people as well." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"Hearts of people..." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"That's true. It's the thing I'm most afraid of..." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"People have a heart. You have to be open to what their heart wants to do. It is important to face the child's heart straight on, without trying to see their face with your eyes or hear their voice with your ears." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"That's, what Haha Amazu taught me". |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"What my heart wants to do, and accepting that..." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"It's difficult. No wonder I can't see through First Shimoamazu-san's arts." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Miyako is completely different from when we first met. Yoshino thinks you have changed." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Don't blame it on the curse, Miyako is Miyako, Friend of Yoshino with heart of Miyako." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Let's be strong together. Yoshino, can do my best for Miyako. Will help you find this person called Yae-san." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"Yes, thank you. I will help you to find your otou-san and oka-san too." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"I'm glad I became friends with Yoshino." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Yes, Yoshino thinks so too." |
![Story Shimoamazu.png](/images/6/60/Story_Shimoamazu.png) Shimoamazu |
"Both of you, get ready now. We're going to Haha's Chamber." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Oooh- much earlier than planned". |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"You sensed some kind of reaction?" |
![Story Shimoamazu.png](/images/6/60/Story_Shimoamazu.png) Shimoamazu |
"Big reaction. Beyond the wards, Phantom Mist is occurring one after another." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Where are the green stones?" |
![Story Shimoamazu.png](/images/6/60/Story_Shimoamazu.png) Shimoamazu |
"No need to look for them. There are a number of shiny objects in the Mist. My Haha has never seen so many before." |
![Story Shimoamazu.png](/images/6/60/Story_Shimoamazu.png) Shimoamazu |
"The increase is extraordinary. If we leave it like this, the whole Iwato could be covered with those stones. If that happens, my Haha won't be able to contain them by herself." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"Things are clearly getting worse. We need to find the Chasm as soon as possible." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"We need to get inside and hit the source while Haha Amazu is holding it back." |
![Story Miyako.png](/images/2/21/Story_Miyako.png) Miyako |
"Let's go, Yoshino-chan." |
![Story Yoshino.png](/images/b/bd/Story_Yoshino.png) Yoshino |
"Yes. The peace of Mt. Ooe will be protected by the SSS." |
