After Youko had escaped us with her Gate, I asked Mary to follow Youko's trail. If he traveled via Gate, she might know where she was going.
Story Mary.png
Mary
"I'm sorry... But there's no trace of anything. She's following a perfectly pre-calculated breakaway route."
Story Yakutsk.png
Yakutsk
"I bet. It's infuriating, but I highly doubt Youko would make such a fatal mistake."
Story Queensway.png
Queensway
"She's such a powerful opponent. We were on the defensive and they easily toyed with us all around."
Story Yakutsk.png
Yakutsk
"It's quite a blow that Miyako's magic power was sucked out of her."
Story Mary.png
Mary
"Conductor, what are we going to do now? We don't have much time now that Youko's Great Curse Magic has been completed."
Conductor
For now, each and every one of us, including Miyako, use the time to regroup.
Story Mary.png
Mary
But first, I would like to know Miyako's current situation. Is there any hope for recovery now that a considerable amount of magic has been sucked out of her?
Story Miyako.png
Miyako
"......"
Story Miyako.png
Miyako
"I am sorry, I don't know. It is the first time for me to have such a large amount of magic power drained out of me all at once."
Story Miyako.png
Miyako
"Not even just great techniques like the one I just did, I... can hardly use sorceries anymore."
Story Mary.png
Mary
"It can't be helped. Now that this has happened, we need to think about our next move. Let us all discuss what we should do from now on."
Story Miyako.png
Miyako
"I'm sorry... Because I did something reckless, I dragged everyone down..."
Story Yoshino.png
Yoshino
"That's not true, Miyako was just trying to do what you could at that time, and didn't want to leave it to Mary alone."
Story Miyako.png
Miyako
"Thank you Yoshino-chan. But it is true that I was inexperienced."
Story Miyako.png
Miyako
"At that time, if Yuuzen-san had been there, I might not have attacked her unnecessarily.
Story Miyako.png
Miyako
"Even if I did attacked her, I might not have had my magic power sucked out of me."
Story Miyako.png
Miyako
"If I had been more proper, the result would not have been like this..."
Story Yoshino.png
Yoshino
"But Yuuzen wasn't there, and Miyako didn't attack without thinking, did you?"
Story Yoshino.png
Yoshino
"Yoshino and everyone knows that. So we don't blame you for your lack of experience."
Story Putra.png
Putra
"Yep yep, if you're saying that, then what about us here who couldn't do anything at all in that situation?"
Story Vivienne.png
Vivienne
"C'est exact. Neither the vanguard nor the rear guard could do anything, and we can only just wait for a chance. Miyako was the first one to find that chance. Right?"
Story Mary.png
Mary
"I didn't tell you to 'stay out of it' either. I was attacking alone, but I was also trying to see if we can fight together."
Story Mary.png
Mary
"And also, don't compare everything about yourself to Yuuzen. You are not Yuuzen."
Story Miyako.png
Miyako
"......"
Story Mary.png
Mary
"There's nothing wrong with using Yuuzen as a role model. However, thinking 'Yuuzen could have done this' is not going to yield any results, because it is you, Miyako, who has to do something, not Yuuzen."
Story Mary.png
Mary
"Miyako, can you use both sorcery and Gate magic to toy with Youko? Can you escape from Youko's manifested space, and trick her with a clean escape?"
Story Miyako.png
Miyako
"No, I cannot."
Story Mary.png
Mary
"Does Yuuzen have a reflection meeting at times like this?"
Story Miyako.png
Miyako
"No..."
Story Miyako.png
Miyako
"Yuuzen-san doesn't do that. She would think about what she can do as a sorceress and what she should do next."
Story Mary.png
Mary
"Right, we just need to think about what's next. We still need your help."
Story Mary.png
Mary
"Yes, you may not be able to use bigger arts, but it's not like you can't use all of them, right?"
Story Miyako.png
Miyako
"Yes, I think I can use some of the simpler techniques."
Story Mary.png
Mary
"Then you shouldn't have a face like that."
Mary smiled softly and turned herself around. I'm sure Mary must have seen Miyako's development.
Story Miyako.png
Miyako
"......"
Story Yoshino.png
Yoshino
"Miyako, are you okay?"
Story Miyako.png
Miyako
"Yoshino-chan, all I did was apologize. I haven't completed anything yet."
Story Miyako.png
Miyako
"Mary-san is cheering me up. Aah what am I even doing?"
Story Miyako.png
Miyako
"ーーI have to do what I am able to do now."
Story Yoshino.png
Yoshino
"Yes, Yoshino is always on Miyako's side, so let's do what we can do together. Very sure everyone is thinking the same way.
Story Miyako.png
Miyako
"Thank you, Yoshino-chan."
Story Yoshino.png
Yoshino
"You are welcome."
Story Yakutsk.png
Yakutsk
"Yuuzen was stranded on the summit, and Miyako's power was taken away. We are at a sudden disadvantage."
Story Putra.png
Putra
"If only we knew how Yuuzen was doing."
Story Vivienne.png
Vivienne
"If it were that easy to find out, no one would have any trouble."
Story Yoshino.png
Yoshino
"Oyaya, guess not. Miyako is trying to say something".
Story Miyako.png
Miyako
"Everyone, I am going to check on how Yuuzen-san's doing now."
Story Putra.png
Putra
"Wha? Can you do that?"
Story Miyako.png
Miyako
"Yes. Before I left Yuuzen-san, I put an eye shikigami on her. I will activate it now."
Story Miyako.png
Miyako
"Everyone can touch me anywhere on my body. As long as you touch me, I will be able to share my vision with you."
Story Queensway.png
Queensway
"Miss Miyako, are you sure you can use sorcery without problems?"
Story Miyako.png
Miyako
"This is not a problem. I am the only one who can perform this technique."
Story Yoshino.png
Yoshino
"You are very reliable. Indeed you are."
Story Yoshino.png
Yoshino
"But don't overdo it. If Yoshino thinks it is dangerous, you will be stopped."
Story Miyako.png
Miyako
"Thank you. I'll ask you to take care of me then."
Story Yoshino.png
Yoshino
"At your request."
Story Yoshino.png
Yoshino
"Well then, Miyako-san, please do it right away."
Story Miyako.png
Miyako
"I'll begin. Everyone else, please prepare yourselves too."
Miyako said this as she adjusted her breathing. Miyako slowly began chanting to activate the shikigami, faint sounds could be heard in the silence.
Story Miyako.png
Miyako
"--I say to you, though the darkness covers the one you think of, let it be the way from the moon."
Story Miyako.png
Miyako
"--Come, come, to the moonlit night.
--Come, come, to the night watcher."
As Miyako's chanting ended, a haze hanged over my vision. The scenery that I should have seen before gradually faded away. I wonder if this is what they call shared vision.
Miyako
"Thank goodness... Yuuzen-san is safe."
Mary
"I don't see that cursed spirit. I wonder if it has been defeated."
Miyako
"I think she returned it to the sorcery art. That's why Yuuzen-san went here."
Story Miyako.png
Miyako
"But while it's good, we can't be comfortable."
Story Mary.png
Mary
"Don't underestimate her too much. She has always been a do-what-I-want type of person. That's why I trust her."
Story Miyako.png
Miyako
"This is the heart of Great Curse Magic it seems?"
Story Mary.png
Mary
"Yes, the amount of magic power is extraordinary. If she returned the cursed spirit, she should just run away. I don't think Yuuzen would stay in a place like this for long."
Story Queensway.png
Queensway
"Is it possible that she was surrounded by a Phantom Mist and couldn't get out?"
Story Yoshino.png
Yoshino
"Or perhaps, does she have an agenda?"
Story Queensway.png
Queensway
"Do you think Miss Yuuzen is staying of her own volition?"
Story Yoshino.png
Yoshino
"She returned the cursed spirit back to the sorcery art, but she found a reason why she couldn't turn back."
Story Yoshino.png
Yoshino
"Also, this feeling... Yuuzen is aware of Miyako's 'eye'."
Story Mary.png
Mary
"If that's the case, she must have a plan, and Yuuzen should be in control."
Story Queensway.png
Queensway
"I'd say she has a plan, but Miss Yuuzen is on the other side of the mountain. Shouldn't we move now?"
Story Mary.png
Mary
"Moving now won't make things much better, we need to find out why Yuuzen is still there. What if this is Youko's trap?"
Story Queensway.png
Queensway
"Ah..."
Story Yoshino.png
Yoshino
"There is also a possibility that everything we just saw was an illusion."
Story Queensway.png
Queensway
"But that was Miss Miyako's sorcery, right? How can sorcery be hijacked and have illusions shown to us...?"
Story Mary.png
Mary
"It can. I'll tell you this, Yuuzen can do this in no time at all."
Story Mary.png
Mary
"We are dealing with a sorceress, and a good one at that. As Youko said herself, 'the battle of highly-skilled sorcerers starts from the moment they meet'."
Story Miyako.png
Miyako
"The deception has already begun..."
Story Mary.png
Mary
This is what Yuuzen used to say... How unaware. I've got to get a little smarter too."
Story Mary.png
Mary
"Anyway... We can't read the situation over there yet. Let's keep this up a little longer and see what happens. Don't miss the signs that it's time to move."
Likely unintentionally, Mary's hand on Miyako's shoulder gripped stronger.
Beside her, Miyako just looked at Yuuzen worriedly and, softly called Yuuzen's name.

Miyako
"Yuuzen-san..."
