It's almost surprising how placid and peaceful a Witch Barrier is. Earlier - in the fleeting memories you can remember that didn't involve cold, numbing pain or stark, paralyzing fear - the Witch Barrier had been chaotic, nearly noxious in its disorder. It was sickening, in a way, to have everything change in your line of vision one moment, and then restore itself the next. Even the sky was never still, always in flux, always twisting, a swirling vortex of malevolence and hate.

Now, however...it was quiet. Peaceful. Almost tranquil.

You're not sure where you are at the moment, or where the others are - but you have the odd suspicion that things are being taken care of. As much as you'd want to make sure your sempai's safe - and you know she is - there is something you absolutely cannot put off. Not now.

"I...I'd like to say I was prepared for this," Mirai murmurs, her voice catching slightly in her throat, but nevertheless still spoken softly, perfectly, smoothly. "But I wasn't. I...I thought things would work out in the end. Even Miss Malal reminded me that it's much too optimistic to hope for something like that. Still, I..." her voice trails off in silence, before coming through again, a bit shaky this time. "...I'd like to think I did some good. While I still had the chance to."

You feel it, then, a drop of cold water splashing on your cheek, as you look up at the girl who'd saved your life by trading hers in.

"In the end, I...I suppose that's what's important, isn't it, Midori?"

Another one joins it on your other cheek, and you hear Mirai sniffle gently, gloved hands reaching up to elegantly wipe at her eyes.

. . .

Remember what Malal told you.

How do you respond?

[]Ask her why she did this.
[]Stay silent and let her cry it out. You don't trust yourself to speak, either.
[]Promise that you'll try whatever it takes to get her back, somehow.

This can be inferred, but this one. Is the one Midori needs to know the answer to.

If the 'I'll get you back somehow' option wins, I hope she doesn't take it as 'I'm going to become a demon of anger and despair and make an insane god angry to get you back'

"B-because it's the right thing to do," Mirai replies, seemingly surprised that you'd ask such a question, surprised enough that her teary eyes widen slightly at this. "Y-you're...you're my friend, Midori. You jumped in her to save me and your sempai. Was I supposed to let you die, just like that?" She sniffs almost haughtily, putting on an air typical of a Pleiades Saint. "Besides, it's uncouth for an aristocrat like me to owe a favor to a petty commoner like Midori-chan."

You look at her, faintly puzzled, before she manages a smile. "well, that's what Saki-san would've said, at least. But I'm not her. I couldn't...I couldn't bear seeing you die like that, Midori-chan. I had to do something."

You want to get up. You want to hug her, you want to wipe her eyes for her, to tell her that you're sorry for everything and that you'll promise to find a way to get her back - but you feel your body unresponsive, unwilling to move from that spot, your head pillowed on her thighs. You wonder about this - you'd been able to move earlier, with Madoka and Malal. What's wrong now?

"Oh, um. This...they've put you back in your body, I believe, and while it's slowly healing, it's still quite fragile. So you're not supposed to make any sudden movements until it's properly healed." Mirai smiles. "But I know you, Midori-chan. It's alright. This...this had to happen, and while I wish I could go back with you and be with everyone again, I...it's better, this way. I am at peace, and so should you."

She leans over and places a gentle kiss on your forehead, her lips soft and warm. Her curtain of curly orange hair falling briefly around you, blocking out the unnatural sky of the barrier for one brief moment.

As Mirai draws back, more tears in her eyes than there were before - but the smile on her face sincere, heartbreakingly-happy - the Barrier begins to destroy itself.

It starts with the Barrier's fading sun suddenly disappearing with a sound akin to glass breaking. Then, hairline cracks start to spiderweb across the sky, spreading out from where the unnatural sun once was. Light peeking out from those fissures, which start to widen with disturbing alacrity across what should be Mitakihara's twisted atmosphere. The ground starts to shake, rubble starting to hover upward - but it's done with such a lack of sound, a muted disintegration, that it doesn't even seem to shatter the nearly funereal-like peace of it.

"This isn't the scene I wanted us to part ways in, Midori," Mirai says as she helps you up to a sitting position beside her, her arm around your waist, letting you lean on her. "...but it'll do. And I have been honored to be your friend, if...I could be so presumptuous." Her other hand takes your own and laces her fingers through yours.

You turn towards her just as the world begins to shatter around you.

How do you say goodbye?

Even if she should hate them like you say, there is somewhat of a difference if you turn into a witch because you overexerted your magic or because you lost all hope and being turned into a witch via Killswitch or being mindcontrolled by Incubators.

Even if they are rivals for Grief Seeds, even if they are from rival Meguca-Syndicates, an Incubator pushig a buttan that lets you witch out is a absolute no-go and a threat to every single Magical Girl.

The rest of the saints didn't like Midori. It seems it was because her operating style was the complete opposite of theirs

> Brutally direct, to the point, showing no consideration at all to the usual finery and rituals that you've seen the Pleiades Saints perform whenever fighting another Magical Girl. There'd be declarations of titles, of oathes, of sweeping and elegant salutes and all that. Always respectful and graceful pugilism, never direct and brutal murder.

...And the fact that Midori is poor.

Anyway one thing does strike me. Why was Midori getting the assignments to help rapists and such? And Juubey placed value on her as well...

I wonder if Juubey was trying to desensitise
Midori so he could build her up as a ruthless Callidus assassin?

>>23335772
Nah, Juubey's just, as was artfully said, a murderous cockwipe.

>>23335772

>>23335772

I think that Jyubey wasn't so sore about losing Midori per se, so much as it was Kyubey making him look like a fool by overwriting the contract and making Midori a member of the 9th Officio.

It might be that this wasn't so much to get Midori back as it was for Jyubey to save face, and recover a bit of pride.

Maybe not even as specific as a Callidus assassin, perhaps Jyuubey wanted to make all of his magical girls really cold and hardcore in personality. So maybe softies like Midori get tossed through the wringer of awful assignments repeatedly, until they either washout(and witchout), or turn into the rough-edged assholes that seem to make up most of the Saints.

>>23335922
And wanting Midori back was probably because he's a giant asshole who's proud and secretive of his ways, and letting one of his flock wander off is just bad news all around to him.

In relation to this, there's a lot of grief seeds being passed around. There's got to be a reliable method of "farming" them, so to speak. This would be a good way to do it. Contract the girls who are the most naive for the express purpose of having them witch out and be defeated for their grief seeds.

No. No, it can't end now. It's too soon. You were supposed to have a few more moments with her! It hasn't even been a couple of minutes--

The ground shakes again, a bit harder this time, as if to press upon you the need to hurry and make your parting words to a friend that you will never see again. Or talk to again. It takes every single ounce of what little strength you have left in your limp, immobile form - what willpower you could summon up making up for the rest - for you to lift and wrap your arms around her in a tight, clasping embrace.

"Goodbye," You manage to whisper, smiling so that she'll hear it in your voice, and overlook the fact that you're crying now. "I'll miss you."

The sky, completely ruined now, is pockmarked and fissured with chasms of searing, blinding light. The ground mirrors it - and you see buildings, houses, corpses of familiars being flung skyward, sucked into the gaps.

She seems to understand, and she buries her head into your shoulder, her hands clawing into your costume. She chokes out a single phrase, one that is cut off as all sound suddenly dies.

"Please don't forget m--"

The barrier finally collapses, taking with it the twisted reality shaped by a Witch's despair.

The ensuing darkness is kind enough to take away your sight a moment before the girl in your arms simply ceases to exist. Leaving nothing in your embrace except air.

You pitch forward into nothing, falling, and you close your eyes.

[1/2]

>>23336015

You open them again, inside...inside the ruined Silent Room of the Ninth Officio's Research and Development Base, in Siberia.

It is a complete shambles. The desktop computer that your sempai had used to talk to Mirai is now all but plastic and metal and glass fused together into an unrecognizable shape, smoking and charred and smoldering. The walls are in a similar state, steel and cement blackened with carbon scoring as well as what looks to be claw marks. The only intact thing in the room, funnily enough, is the fluorescent lamps overhead, although one or two of them seem to have been shattered somehow.

Other people are inside the room with you, from what you can hear. You turn slightly to see in the far corner of the room the huddled, wheezing form of Kharn, her greatcoat jacket draped over her as a sort of blanket, the ragged, bleeding stump of her shoulder where her right arm had been still a fresh, angry wound. Her hair, matted and stringy, concealing her face.

Beside her, as if keeping guard, stands Tiny Pete, his armor rent and scarred and dented in a thousand different places. One of the eyeslits of its elephantine helm seems to have been put out, inactive, devoid of the crimson light usually shining from it. The other tusk seems to have been shattered as well, joining the other in battle damage.

Someone's....someone's missing, though. Someone important. You try to maneuver yourself to look around for her - when you suddenly realize that you're once more pillowing your head in someone else's lap, and you look up to see Chiaki Matsuda - Murderface, your sempai - calmly smoking a bent cigarette above you. Her glasses are surprisingly intact, and...her hair is long.

[2/3]

>>23336026

Really long. Just like...the fragment with the ribbon.

Before adrenalin could course into your already aching form as you feel the cold stab of fear make its presence felt, however--

"...You awake?" She looks down at you, her voice hoarse, weak, but gentle. "I...I wanted to wake you up, because my legs've fallen asleep, but you started snoring, so..."

She lets the sentence trail off into silence, awkwardly, before turning away and taking another pull from her cigarette.

How do you react?

>>23335945

Deculture mentioned in the question time after the final QB chapter that incubator's have to take energy from their own stockpile to make Magical Girls.

So recruting magical girls just for the sake of making witches can bring about diminishing returns.

>>23335993
>>23336012

That was Kyoko.

That leads me to other thing.
Kyoko mentions that if a familiar eats enough people that they become a witch.

But there was a line in the second episode where Mami says that "If you're lucky, they might drop a grief seed"

And at the time Kyoko explained familiar 'promotion' she didn't know the real reason witches are made.

This leads me to the thought that perhaps Kyoko is wrong, while familiar's can become witches. These familiar -witches do not drop grief seeds.

The grief seed contains much more energy than it took to make the girl. It contains enough to purify a soul gem as well as recoup the costs of making her, and then some. That's entirely the point of magical girls in the first place.

But that second part is a good point, too.

This
>>23336135
Then this

>>23336048

Mami was the type to eliminate all witches and familiars to protect the populace, so while she might have heard such a thing from other girls before, she wasn't about confirm it with an actual experiment. To her, it was enough knowing sometimes they drop it and sometimes they don't. (I doubt it's knowledge she wants to impart on her protege anyway)

Now, Kyoko if she spoke from experience it seemed like she at least had gone through with letting familiars go to farm seeds. Kyubey spoke of her having plenty of Grief Seeds in reserve, so I would at least tend to believe that she had confirmed the theory on at least one occasion while amassing them.

>>23336187

Sorry, not Decu there. I had took the role of posting for him earlier while he had problems with the board and forgot to take the name out of the field.

Well anyway, one thing to note that in Mami's flashback. When she entered Charlotte's barrier there were several 2nd-form Charloettes about.

So perhaps in this universe. Familiars form grief seeds if they eat enough people and they return to the witch that spawned them when they do.

You stare up at her for quite a few moments, in the relative silence of the room - before reaching up with a shaky hand and pulling the cigarette away from her lips. She blinks down at you in mild surprise at this, her lips shaping a protest, but one that doesn't get to be vocalized as your vision start to mist up again. Warning you of tears that you obviously haven't cried yet.

With a surprising gentleness that you've never experienced from your sempai - at least, not from the one you've been acquainted with all this time - she scoops you up into her arms and pulls you to her, letting you muffle your own sobs into her shoulder. Her scent - a curious mix of earthy sweat, dried blood and gunpowder - all but reminds you of just what you've been through and what you've lost in the process.

"It's...it's okay, Midori. We're back. We're safe." Chiaki says after a rather long and awkward pause, nearly mumbling the words, but no less earnest in her effort. "You saved me. It's over. I'm okay. You're okay." Another pause. "...Thank you."

You cling to her with what little strength left inside of you, your shoulders still shaking from all the crying. It's all but sapped you, leaving you cold and empty and drained. And yet, hearing her say it, hearing her confirm what you've managed to do by the skin of your teeth - it makes everything all worth it.

Someday, you'll forgive yourself for letting your best friend trade her life in for yours.

>>23336649

After a while, you've managed to stop yourself from crying. You've also managed to peel yourself from your sempai as well, although you're still holding onto her hand. It's silly, but you can't help but think that she'd suddenly disappear the moment you let go. Both of you are leaning against the wall now, just trying to catch your breaths, enjoying the luxury of finally being back in the real world without things going completely eldritchian on you.

"I...I think I remember some stuff a bit more clearly, now." Chiaki says after a moment, toying with a crumpled pack of cigarettes in her hand. "About Pinky. And...I guess what happened back then." She clears her throat after a moment, before reaching up to rake her unnaturally-long hair away from her eyes. "It all comes back to me, somehow. Something I did to her, made her this way." A half-hearted chuckle.

"It's...it's all my fault, isn't it?"

How the fuck are they beneficial, anyway? From what I have seen they either drive the host insane (the chick with the sword) or steal their soul (STR).

>>23336708
[x]Explain our mission in a way that doesn't tip off Chiaki and thus Pinky about the truth in regards to golden weapons.

They were Godoka's idea, but Faust created them. Thats why they have... unpleasant... sideeffects

>>23336856

They're meant to only work properly for Chiaki/Homuhomu.

They do pretty shitty things to everyone else.

>>23336713
It's happened frequently and consistently enough that you can assume causation as well as correlation.

And fuck what you think, I like it.

>>23336801

Probably not. Midori is in a position to make sure things happen and influence Chiaki.

Letting Chiaki know too much might let Faust in on it, since she seems to be able to read chiaki's mind at times.

>>23336856
They can potentially help put Madokami back in control or something if all collected by Chiaki. Anyone else gets all of them, though, and Bad Things™ could happen.

>>23336856
According to Madokami, while they're still awful and dangerous toys, supposedly it really would be to our benefit to collect them all.

Probably it'd give us the power to fix what we screwed up. Also it'd be good to get them out of the hands of all the other magical girls who can't handle them.

>>23336881
>>23336873
>>23336900

You certain about that? I mean, maybe they just operate on asshole logic to fool Faust but are loads better than what the chicks would usually get. I mean, STR seems to really enjoy being a bunch of bracelets, she also avoided ever going into danger of witching out because lel no soulgem anymore. Maybe the things don't drive people insane but just capture MG's souls which is arguably a better fate than eventual witchdom. That katana chick was probably going crazy without help anyway, I know her canon personality.

>>23336856
The fetch quest is supposed to fix Homu's shield and (maybe) let her swing against Pinky.

>>23336913
Did you forget what happened to Ahriman, Kharn, us and Mami? It's insidious and drives megucas to an unholy bloodlust at best.

>>23336942
Ahriman and Kharn were already psychotic, and Mami hasn't shown the slightest sign of anything unusual going on with her mind.

>>23336942

Ahriman was promised power, Mami rejected it.

Also implying Kharn didn't originally have massive levels of unholy bloodlust already.

>>23336856

I wonder what the golden weapons do anyway?

They
1. Make you immune to witchdom
2. Can drive you insane
3. They suck in the welders soul when they die.

Before the reveal, I thought that they were a perversion of Godoka's duty she did in her new world. Which was collecting the grief from soul gems before the user witches out and taking the dead magical girl to magical girl vanhalla.

So these weapons could be some grief collecting thing, where all the grief from a magical girl killed with a golden weapon ends up absorbed into the weapon. The weapons take grief from the wielders so they don't witch out and they end up taking the wielders 'to another place' when they die.
The whole corruption thing could be weapons way of getting the user to generate more grief.

>>23336913
No matter Madokami's level of influence, these are still weapons which drive people to bloodlust, and I'd think very carefully before assuming that getting my soul sucked into an inanimate object known for corruption is a good idea.

Kilgore with hamhands turned into a Daemon. So did Ahriman, because the staff/Pinky told her to.

Mami went FoFA in Charlotte's barrier until Sayaka snapped her out of it.

Murderface went berserk on Mirai and would've cut Kharn down if we hadn't voted against it.

Kirika went from bitch to absofucknuts crazy bitch with that golden pigsticker.

Golden weapons aren't nice.

>>23337037

At that time she had been alone for a long time with the exception of Kyuubey.

In this verse, Kyuubey is only abit of a dick. The support structures for the Magical Girls are present with backup personnel, peers, juniors and senior staff. Importantly, she also knows the fate of Magical Girls in the end.

I believe she has come to accept that eventual fate, instead of having it forced on her like in the original show, making her much more emotionally stable.

The obvious benefit right-off is the drastically increased fighting ability. If the corruption's effects can be offset or circumvented in some way, it would seem that coming to an understanding with the soul contained within the Golden Weapon has its perks. If not, then it would appear that too much corruption makes you batshit insane and maybe warped into something horrible (like how the Ahriman-Magical Girl got twisted into some sorta bird thingy).

Of course, in Chiaki's case, sidestepping the corruption via the soulgem circuit might not be such a great thing in the long run. Pic related, sorta.

>>23337117
STR was very eager on splattering Kharn. Not sure if that was her general personality or what, but it could be that her psychosis is just toned down and comes to the surface only . Or we just haven't interacted enough. We should totally chat with her and other weapons once we're back as Chiaki.

>>23337117
Look, if you just want to HUE it up with STR, that's cool. Just realize there may be consequences and Pinky might get jealous

>>23337179
The soul 'contained' within the weapon and making up the 'whispers' it sends out seems to be their earlier users. Everything here is a hand-me-down except the Deagle, maybe.
And I suspect that Ahriman got the way she was because she was already partially witched out, see canon Kirika technically witching out but still staying in control long enough to attack Oriko's enemies.

The point is that nobody is perfect and us relying on the power of wishful thinking when it comes to the side effects of the golden weapons is a terrible idea.

Horrible thought, if the entire Madokami thing was actually a long con played by Faust, in a bizarrely coherent stream of deception for a change, that would amazing and hilarious.

>>23337218

It might not even be correct to say that the Golden Wep users are "witching out". They could be something entirely different at that point.

If what QB said in the series is still correct, then witches may be the inevitable product of becoming a meguca. But that's only when they experience enough grief to overwhelm their soulgems or whatever. I wonder if a meguca could possibly "mature" into something other than a witch if the conditions were right.

>>23337271
>>But Kyouko is our flatbro.

>>23336742 >>23336816 >>23336822 >>23336842

N-no. It's not her fault, you tell her, tightening your grip on her hand. Even Madoka - the part of her that helped you save her fragment by fragment, the part of her that saved you and gave you another chance at life - said as much. You didn't set things in motion, someone else did.

Someone who stared with nothing but pure hatred in her eyes. Someone who never even thought about the consequences of what she'd do - and everyone who would suffer in the process. Someone who'd given up her humanity to become a monster, worse than a mindless witch. Witches, at least, were insane to begin with. The Homura you encountered...that was a different kind of insane entirely, the kind who would see the galaxy burn just to get what they wanted.

A completely and utterly different person from your sempai, who was thrown into this role with nothing else than an unreliable memory and a gun in her hand. Besides, Homura would have killed you even before you could have blinked. Chiaki, at least, only shot off your legs.

"...Y-yeah. I...I guess she would've." Your sempai smiles at this, again. It seems that besides the sudden change in hairstyle, she'd gotten quite a bit of the first fragment's awkwardness, too. "I, um. I never did apologize about that, I think. There's...there's a lot of ways I could've handled it differently. Taking down another Magical Girl temporarily. Um." She squeezes your hand in return, gently, carefully.

"S-sorry. For shooting your legs off."

You shake your head at this, smiling, before leaning your head on her shoulder.

You've forgiven her for that long ago. Besides, she had something else to apologize for.

"Oh? What's that...?"

She should very well know!

"..." Chiaki blinks at you, before going very slightly red.

"I was...I was kind of drunk at the time."

[1/2]

>>23337435

Not quite, Chiaki still has her penchant for cigarettes. It's a safe assumption to say she'll hit the vodka once this blows over.

>>23337478

You giggle at this. It...it feels good to joke around. To laugh. Things are starting to get normal, right? Things are getting better. Yeah.

A cough from clear across the room breaks the atmosphere some, reminding you of Kharn from across the room. The Betrayer, who you traded some very harsh words with in the Barrier, when she tried to challenge the armored fragment to a duel. She doesn't seem to be moving, but she's breathing at least.

You're...you're still angry with her, that much is certain. But you couldn't deny that she didn't help out in the final hour.

You turn towards your sempai, and she's looking at Kharn as well. A calculating look in her eyes.

"I remember," she says before you could ask. "I saw what happened. I've never seen anyone do that before, talking her down like that." A moment. "Maybe Malal did. Once. I'm not too sure, but I remember an instance where Kharn pissed her off, and she had her in tears. It takes someone brave to face someone like her and stand your ground." It's then that Chiaki pulls herself up to her feet, helping you up as well - not letting go of your hand the entire time. "Let's see how she's doing."

The both of you make your way across the wrecked room easily enough - Tiny Pete moving aside with a grind of obviously-damaged servos, a limp in his left leg making his usually-ponderous gait a bit unsteady. Kharn doesn't even so much as notice you walking up to her, but she looks up with blood-tracked eyes, a melancholy smile on her face.

[2/3]

>>23337514

"Midori. Warmaster." Kharn's own voice is hoarse, weak, and she turns to the side to spit a black glob of encrusted blood to the floor after she speaks. "If you are going to kill me, then please make it quick. Do not let Misaka or Souji see it." She gestures to the deactivated chainaxes beside her, Gorefather and Gorechild. "I am aware of my betrayal. The sentence is death. This I know also." She bares her throat to you - no, to Chiaki. "My only regret is that I did not die in battle like I intended to. We cannot have everything, I am guessing."

Beside you, Chiaki is silent. Seemingly considering it.

How do you respond?

>>23337528
>Implying we aren't going to do what Malal suggested and let her have a happy ending.

Mercy seems like the more cruel option, not the least of which considering that she now has to patch up her shambled relationship with Not-Accelerator.

You are going to live, Kharn. You're going to live a long, peaceful, happy life surrounded by the love and care of the people you betrayed, knowing every second of it that you sold them out for your own pathetic delusions. And they'll love you regardless.

And that is the greatest punishment I can think of."

If Chiaki isn't on-board with the thing, she could always grab Kharn's tongue, extend it to full length and snap a picture of the surprised Kharn with her tongue. Then threaten to release said pictures to all Officios (and perhaps beyond) if she tries to pull off anything like this again.

"Jugement has already been passed Kharn. You will not be allowed to die in battle, ever. You are sentenced to put down your axes and live the rest of your life with the weight and knowledge of what you've done. And you have to apologize to Souji. This is the judgement of Malal, aide of the former war master Kharn, known as the betrayer.

So ex-war master Kharn, She Who Once Betrayed, will you accept your sentence?"

>>23337658
Do this
>>23337737
Screw you, we've never been verbose like this.

Also, rather randomly, I really preferred Chiaki with short hair. I hope she ends up going back to it.

>>23337752

I suppose we should do a vote when we switch back to her again.

>>23337748
We only seem to be verbose when tearing strips off Kharn.

Midori gets wordier when she's angry?

Er, did you forget that Moemura actually did wear those? It was a big deal that Homura abandoned them and used magic to fix her vision, in abandoning that part of herself.

"You don't deserve death."

Call Souji in.

Fourthing sentencing her to marry souji

Fifth sentencing her to marry Souji, just because of how embarrassing it'd be for Midori to overstep her bounds like that. If we're lucky, maybe Chiaki will swat the back of our head.

>>23338065
If we're not lucky it'd be Tiny Pete.

>>23338065

No, no. Obviously this is where we have to start acting like an aide.

We should pull Chiaki aside and suggest it to her quietly, where Kharn can hear.

>>23338093
This is true. We aren't, strictly speaking, in control of this situation. Chaki's the Warmaster here, and she has final say on what happens to Kharn.
I'm sure she would love that suggestion, though, and we have to make sure we can see the panic on Kharn's face when we suggest it.

>>23338093
I'd say we just whisper it into her ear, with a grim expression on our face like we're dealing with a life or death matter, and as we tell Chiaki we must make sure she knows not to smirk. Even if she wants to, we must treat this like it is a horrible thing that we are doing.

>>23338093
>>23338145
Agreed. Hopefully Decu sees this before writing the next post.

>>23338093
But she's offering her neck to us. Play along with her suicidal warrior act so it's funnier when we damn her to waifudom.

"Miss Malal wasn't kidding. You ARE an idiot."

It takes you a few moments of Chiaki and Kharn staring at you in surprise to realize that it was you who said that. You couldn't believe it yourself, but now that you think about it, it makes a whole lot of sense. And Malal - MISS Malal - did tell you, and if you're taking anyone's advice, it's hers.

"Midori," Chiaki says after a moment, her voice low, but there's a hint of a smile on her lips. She reaches up to brush some hair from her eyes again. "What do you think I should do with Kharn?"

Oh. WELL. If she's asking, then--

"Now wait just a moment...!" Kharn tries, her eyes narrowed at this break in protocol. "The Warmaster is--"

"--supposed to make a decision by herself, yes." You cut her off, rallying magnificently, a smile on your face as you go full bore on who could be the most idiotic person this side of a Barrier. "But as her aide, I can make recommendations, can't I? Miss Malal did the same for you, I'm sure."

"Yes, but--"

"Then I make my recommendation to the Warmaster." You say this in a huffy sort of voice, imitating how Mirai would have said it, but with an exagerrated air. You glance down at the deactivated chainaxes, and shake your head. "Enough of dying. There's been enough of that going around, I think. No, Valnikov Kharn - you will live with your betrayal. You will live with your mistakes for the rest of your life, and it will be a long and happy one." You turn towards Chiaki and nod, the both of you sharing a knowing look.

Kharn's expression turns into one of muted horror and shock, and she looks up at Chiaki.

"M-Murderface, you cannot--"

"My name is Chiaki Matsuda, Kharn." Your sempai shakes her head, her long black hair swaying with the movement. "And as Warmaster, I sentence you to become Souji's housewife. Deal with it."

10/10 critical hit

>>23338510


Kharn lets out a despairing wail, before slumping back against the wall, looking quite defeated.

"...I do not know how to show my face to Souji anymore," The former Warmaster says dejectedly. "Or Misaka. I...I just wanted to die as I have lived. One last swordfight. I...I missed it. I missed the adrenalin, I missed the glory, the action..." She looks up at you and Chiaki, almost pitifully. "I did not mean to spit at my oaths of loyalty with you, but...I wanted to feel it again."

Oh, she'll feel things alright. Last you heard, motherhood was the most extreme thing ever. And she can easily show her face to Souji - he's in the room right now with you, isn't he?

"W-what?" Kharn nearly yelps, looking around. "W-where? I do not see him--"

"Tiny Pete?" chiaki says quietly, and the behemoth turns around to face the three of you. Your sempai nods at it, and the light in its one intact helm eyeslit dies as its chest splits open.

Revealing the pilot inside.

...

Wait. That's not Souji. He's...not that small, right?

"Misaka...?" Chiaki says, blinking, before reaching in and pulling out what looks to be a sound-asleep Misaka. Her hands clasping what looks like Kharn's Warmaster Cap to her chest.

"But...if Souji isn't there--" Your sempai begins, looking around. There's a hiss, and the doors to the Silent Room is thrown open - a harangued-looking Souji, pressing an icepack onto the back of his head and tearing black electrical tape off of his arms, storming right in.

"I thought--" You tell the young man, who looks as though he'd been sleeping on his keyboard the entire time, with imprints of keys on his cheek.

>>23338510
I am caught between hysterical laughter and heart-warmed d'aww. Thank you decu!

>>23338606

"Misaka knocked me out before I could." Souji cuts you off, clearly not in the mood to discuss it. "I'll talk to her about it later. Now, I just want to talk to Kharn."

"S-Souji, I..." Kharn swallows audibly, her black eyes wide and staring. "I could...explain..."

You stop yourself from grinning and turn to Chiaki, whose arms are still full of Misaka.

"We should probably let them talk, right?" You suggest, and she nods.

Where do you go?

[]To the Kitchen, for pancakes.
[]To the Quarters, for rest.
[]Topside, to see the snow and the sky again. With her.

In the middle let Chiaki put Misaka to bed.
