Date a Live:Date Under The Moon Chapter 227 227: Afterword: Letter from Fraxinus 12

Today was a peaceful day. Mikoto and Shiori ca to the beach for a relaxed walk.

Shiori: "Hey, senpai."

Mikoto: "Mm? What is it?"

Shiori: "Why did it turn out like this?"

Mikoto: "Turn out like what?"

Shiori: "The won's clothes! The won's clothes! Why do I have to dress as Shiori and appear here?"

Mikoto: "Because a large scale fla burning incident broke out in the multiverse recently. At least five universes were burned up, you know. Although this place escaped disaster, just to be safe, please continue being Shiori for a little while longer, Shido." (TL:don't know what they are referring to)

Shiori: "I don't want that…"

Shiori: "And also, this is the afterword, right? It's the afterword, isn't it? There are only nas and colons before our lines now."

Mikoto: "That's right. In that case, let's begin today's 'Letters from Fraxinus' ti!"

Shiori: "Ah, so unfair! Don't change the subject!"

--Movie Edition--

Mikoto: "It's a movie edition."

Shiori: "That's right. It's a movie edition."

Mikoto: "But why write a movie edition?"

Shiori: "Apparently, the grand sounding reason is that Moonlight's progress is about to catch up with the original work. To avoid being limited by the original work's update speed, the author started writing original content."

Mikoto: "So there's also a reason that doesn't sound so grand?"

Shiori: "Ahem. Apparently, while the author was thinking about a short story, his imagination suddenly went out of control. Originally, the main the of the short story was supposed to be Miku launching various night raids on the Spirits, but in the end, it turned into a long Izu trip."

Mikoto: "Apparently, the author even looked up a lot of short travel articles about Izu for this."

Shiori: "It would've been better if he hadn't found out that Lovers's Point was near Izu."

Mikoto: "Oh my, but then we wouldn't have been able to hear Shiori-chan's cute bride declaration, would we?"

Shiori: "Please forget that. I'm begging you!"

Mikoto: "'I will definitely beco a bride as happy as Tamaki-san!' …But it was so cute."

Shiori: "Uwaaa! Forget it, hurry up and forget it! L-let's start the next keyword! Right now! Imdiately!"

(TL: The setting, pacing and stuff of this arc really feel like a 1 hour 30 minute movies)

--Murderer--

Shiori: "Speaking of which, the author never said who the culprit behind the murder cases actually was."

Mikoto: "That's true. Because as the incident developed, everyone's attention moved to Hina."

Shiori: "But thinking about it carefully, the murderer only appeared after Hina was captured. Their true identity was probably…"

Mikoto: "Yes. It could only be the controlled Hina."

Shiori: "But it's hard to understand. Why kill ordinary people?"

Mikoto: "Probably to obtain real combat records. After all, they couldn't attack the AST. That would expose them too easily."

Shiori: "But compared to ordinary people, wouldn't the Bandersnatch in the research institute be better combat targets?"

Mikoto: "Well, that was probably the researcher's malice. He wanted to know what kind of harm an Artificial Spirit could cause to ordinary people. And maybe he also hoped that the ntal trauma from killing ordinary people with her own hands would make Hina inverse."

Shiori: "I can imagine Hina must have resisted strongly at the ti, causing the remote control to go out of order. That's why the corpses ended up like that."

Mikoto: "What a cold blooded researcher. But in the end, he t the even colder blooded Nightmare and was tortured."

Shiori: "Eh? Wasn't it just because she simply forgot she still had Yud?"

Mikoto: "Ahem. Co on, let's start the next keyword."

Shiori: "Ah! You're changing the subject again!"

--Dirty Scenes--

Shiori: "Speaking of which, this movie edition was a little erotic. There were hot springs, night raids, and so on."

Mikoto: "Well, according to the author, when writing, places that can be sweet should be sweet, places that can be painful should be painful, and places that can be dirty should be as dirty as possible."

Shiori: "That's quite an impactful way of writing."

Mikoto: "Oh my, isn't that fine? The protagonist receiving the fanservice is Shiori-chan."

Shiori: "Ugh…"

Mikoto: "As expected, should you be burned?"

Shiori: "Absolutely not!"

Mikoto: "And compared to the story itself, the one that needs cleaning powder even more is the next keyword."

Shiori: "The next keyword?"

Mikoto: "Mm-hm."

Artificial Spirit

Shiori: "Speaking of which, is Hina all right?"

Mikoto: "The Realizer that was being used as a Sephira Crystal has been removed. She's fine now."

Shiori: "That's good. By the way, what happened to that fake Sephira Crystal?"

Mikoto: "Since it wasn't a real Sephira Crystal in the true sense, after being hit by Yata no kagami, it suffered damage that couldn't be repaired. It's already broken."

Shiori: "I see. But that's fine too. I'm sure Hina doesn't want to beco like she was before again."

Mikoto: "Yes. But it wasn't as if we gained nothing. We brought Mordred back with us."

Shiori: "Will Hina be active as a Ratatoskr Wizard after this?"

Mikoto: "That depends on what she wants. But rather than being a Wizard, Hina seems to plan on becoming a shrine maiden at the shrine."

Shiori: "That's great. It ans your burden can be lighter too, senpai."

Mikoto: "That's right. Ah… Hina looks very cute in shrine maiden clothes. Do you want to see, Shiori-chan?"

Shiori: "I… I think I'll pass."

Mikoto: "Ugh… You're so shy."

Shiori: "Shut up…"

Mikoto: "In any case, today's letters follow-up ends here."

Shiori: "Please look forward to the new volu, Itsuka Disaster!"

Mikoto: "The counterattack of the ultra herbivore type! Will carnivore Shido capture the entire Tengu City? Keep reading with that question in mind! Don't miss it!"

(TL:well considering Mikoto....she will not be able to handle Playboy Shido unlike Yutsuki...Mikoto...will...well...fall pretty easily)

Shiori: "Wait a second! I can't pretend I didn't hear what you just said!"

(TL:Itsuka Disaster is always funny to read)
