September 25th, Monday.
It was also the third day of Tenou Festival.
After the storm-like series of incidents, it was no surprise that yesterday's Tenou Festival could not be held as planned.
The only fortunate thing was that after Miku's brainwashing was undone, no one rembered being controlled.
And so, by using the excuse of a terrorist attack with nerve gas, they sohow managed to cover up the entire incident.
With Ratatoskr's help, and thanks to everyone's strong appeals, Tenou Festival restarted after only one day.
On the stage, Miku was still singing songs filled with spirit power and charm.
Her sweet voice made the atmosphere in the venue rise like a blazing fla.
After one song ended, Miku gave a bow and left the stage, leaving behind countless audience mbers shouting for an encore.
Mikoto left the audience seats and searched everywhere for Shido.
Miku's spirit power still had not been sealed, but her affection for Shido had risen out of control.
If left alone, Miku probably would not do anything bad anymore. But if they did not seal her soon, AST might find her and attack.
Thinking that, Mikoto put on her earpiece and asked:
"Kotori, do you know where Shido went?"
[Shido? He seed to have gone toward the central stage's dressing room earlier.]
Hearing Kotori's words, Mikoto walked toward the dressing room.
"Shido, are you… there?"
She opened the door, and what entered her eyes was a shocking scene.
At this very mont, Miku was completely naked and hugging Shido, while Shido also had his arms open, seemingly about to embrace Miku.
"Eh? Ya… Yakumo-senpai? Wait! It's not like that!"
Seeing Mikoto co in, Shido hurriedly tried to explain.
"It looks like the sealing is going well. I'll go find so clothes for Miku. Is the café's maid outfit fine? Staying naked like that isn't a good idea."
Mikoto gave a soft sigh.
Because she knew that an Astral Dress would disappear after sealing, she did not misunderstand.
However…
[My little heart took a critical hit!]
On the way to find a maid outfit, Mikoto thought that.
Still, she comforted herself by telling herself that it was for sealing a Spirit, then brought replacent clothes for Miku.
After that, she stood with Shido, Yoshino, Tohka, Kaguya, and Yuzuru in the staff passage at the other end of the stage, watching Miku's second performance.
Although the audience was a little surprised at first by the voice that had lost its spirit power, soon enough, the atmosphere beca lively again.
"Everyone… thank you so much…"
Miku was deeply moved that her self without that "voice" had been accepted.
The girl raised her head and spoke with deep emotion toward the staff passage:
"Thank you so much, darling. I love you!" (TL: tch)
Hearing that aningful line from a famous idol, the venue instantly erupted into noise.
But compared to that…
"Darling?"
"Repeat. Darling."
"Da… darling…"
"Umu, Miku said that earlier too… what does 'darling' an, Shido?"
The Spirits who quickly surrounded Shido were the bigger problem.
Facing a situation that was almost a complete battlefield of jealousy, Shido sent a pleading look toward Mikoto.
However, after taking repeated critical hits, the girl did not help him out.
Instead, she raised her head and, with a sweet smile, spoke intimately:
"Ara, what's wrong, anata (dear) ?" (TL:a way too call husband, maybe I'll change it too dear, but I'll leave it at anata for this chapter)
And then…
"Anata?"
"Repeat. Anata?"
"A… anata."
"Umuumu… Shido—!"
Because of the girl's single sentence, Shido completely fell into a battlefield of jealousy.
—This is the dividing line.—
—This is the dividing line marking the end of the main story.—
—This is the dividing line before breaking character and entering the afterword.— (TL:yeah, will keep this too)
Just as the girls surrounded Shido, he suddenly raised both hands with a serious expression.
Shido: "STOP! Main story over, main story over. It's afterword ti now!"
Mikoto: "Eh… what a sha."
Shido: "It is not a sha. Battlefields of jealousy are forbidden."
Mikoto: "But Tohka only needed to cut you once."
Yoshinon: [Hey, hey, how about freezing him once?]
Kaguya: "Kukuku, prepare yourself, Shido. Even within this unchained afterword realm, you cannot escape my Mystic Eye."
Yuzuru: "Pursuit.Raphael, El Kanaph. Just one shot will be enough."
Shido: "Stop! I'll really die!"
Mikoto: "A-anyway, since this is the afterword, let's look at this volu's keywords."
Kotori: "Ah, ah, even after chasing him this far, Mikoto is still too kind. I already prepared Shido's funeral over here."
Shido: "What are you trying to do to your own brother?!"
Kotori: "The tombstone says—died in a battlefield of jealousy, stick insect."
Shido: "Nooooo!"
—No Sugar—
Shido: "A-anyway, there was almost no sweetness in this whole volu."
Mikoto: "There's no helping it. The general plot of Miku Truth was raiding the DEM branch and inversion, after all."
Shido: "It was all battles and rescue, so there wasn't much daily life to use for sugar."
Mikoto: "Exactly."
Shido: "Even so, many readers thought the inversion plot was too short."
Mikoto: "According to the author, this volu apparently planned to use a half-inversion from the beginning."
Shido: "Half-inversion?"
Mikoto: "The feeling of recovering the mont the inversion happens!" (TL:like mukuro situation but not fast mukuro's because her demon king dress still manifested)
Shido: "Uu… that kind of incomplete combustion makes uneasy."
Mikoto: "Fufufu, isn't it better than what readers wanted more, like stabbing Shido after inverting?"
Shido: "Cough, cough. Please don't bring up any event that would kill ."
Mikoto: "Then, next keyword."
—Kind of Like Origami—
Shido: "Speaking of that, Yakumo-senpai secretly recorded my voice."
Mikoto: "Because I can use it as a Shido-only ringtone."
Shido: "Please absolutely don't do that. Just thinking about it is embarrassing!"
Mikoto: "Eh… I don't want to."
Shido: "And readers said that move feels very Origami-like."
Origami (short hair): "Too shallow. It was only a recording of him calling your na. Without collecting Shido's breathing, Shido's gym clothes, and Shido's underwear, calling that similar to is far too shallow." (TL:oh shit master origami is here)
Shido: "Wait! Why do you have those things?"
Origami (short hair): "As a side note, for breathing sounds, the ones after pull-ups are more tempting than the ones after long distance running. Though doing [beep—] would be even better, the thod of acquisition is still being planned."
Shido: "What are you planning? What are you planning?!"
Origami (short hair): "For gym clothes, please collect three sets. One for slling at school, one for putting on a body pillow, and one for preservation."
Shido: "Wait! When did you take that many gym clothes?"
Origami (short hair): "Relax. I put fresh gym clothes in Shido's bag. After you use them, I'll collect them again."
Shido: "Nooooo!"
Origami (short hair): "As for underwear, it must be kept close to the body. Wearing it directly is also acceptable. If necessary, it can even be eaten…"
Mikoto: "I can't do those things!"
Origami (short hair): "That's why I said it's too shallow. Next keyword."
—Book Recomndation—
Mikoto: "It's ti for another book recomndation."
Shido: "What is it this ti?"
Mikoto: "Date A Live: Fate Night."
Shido: "A fusion of Date A Live and Fate/Zero?"
Mikoto: "Yes. Spirits loving and killing each other and all that." (TL: huh???? hmmmmm)
Shido: "Cough, cough. Anyway… I hope it's a happy ending."
Mikoto: "Then, this round of 'Letters from Fraxinus' ends here. Please look forward to the next volu, Natsumi Search!"
TL: and again in the original site, the next volu is encore 2 and not natsumi search, shit, I need to read check first before making similar error like the yamai arc
