“My my, Bodewig-san. Don’t you think you’re getting too close?”

“I have no idea what you’re talking about.” Laura responds, glaring at her rival. “This is an appropriate distance between husband and wife.”

“C’mon, don’t fight you two…” Your bro says, encouragingly

The five girls played a game of rock-papers-scissors at your bro’s house. The winner got the honor of walking with him under his umbrella. After three rounds of shaking their limbs around like tipsy ravers at an idol concert, it was Laura who emerged victorious. She latched onto Tatsuya’s arm with a cool yet happy smile, while the other four girls could only stare daggers and make threatening gestures with their fists. Sachiko, in particular, had the kind of upper-class, corporate and completely evil smile that could send the average office worker browning his pants. Well, Laura’s enthusiasm and persistence were admirable, you’ll give her that.

“Ne, Hatoko.” Ayase speaks up. “Can’t you do anything about this downpour?”

You watch Hatoko turn to look Ayase. Despite not carrying an umbrella or any sort of rain-protection gear, Hatoko is perfectly dry. Of course she is; she’s using her elemental magic to ward off the rain. An intangible, transparent shield surrounds her body, repelling any water that comes close. The remnants cascade to the ground, where they are swallowed up by the damp concrete.

“You want me to make it stop raining, Ayase-chan?” Hatoko turns to look at the sky. “Um, I don’t think that’s a good idea.”

“Why not?”

“Sometimes it’s best to let nature take its course.”

“Surely Megiddo City can do without a single downpour.” Ayase argues. “All that laundry, gone to waste…”

“We may be heroes, Ayase-chan, but we have to restrain our powers. We can’t change the world at a whim.” Hatoko states. “That is our responsibility now.”

“I guess that makes sense.” Then Ayase sneaks a careful glance at Hatoko. “Wait a minute, you’re saying this because you’re the only one not affected by the rain!”

Hatoko doesn’t reply, but instead gives Ayase a smile. It’s almost smug, which is impressive. You’ve noticed her become more confident about herself ever since Tatsuya had confessed his feelings towards her. The privilege of the being the first girl in his harem would forever belong to her.

You then look at Syoko. Aside from rescuing your pants from being drenched, she hasn’t said much for the entire trip. You might as well strike up a conversation here…

You look at your resident mushroom friend. Her mouth is firmly shut in a straight line, and she moves with a sort of numb efficiency. After greeting you and your friends at their respective homes, not a single world had wormed its way out of her lips. You frown at the thought.

“Something on your mind, Syoko?” You ask, sounding concerned.

“Huh?” The girl in question suddenly springs up and yelps. Yeah, something has definitely been on her mind. “O-oh, Kazuya. N-nothing, really.”

“You sure about that?” You decide to question further. “It looks like something is bothering you.”

“It’s not like that…” Syoko looks up at you and gives you a slightly reassuring smile. “H-honestly, Kazuya.”

You can’t help but get rid of a sense of suspicion within your stomach. A year of adventuring around the world, meeting colorful and interesting individuals had given you knowledge on how one’s body language could be read. Something was definitely bugging your friend here. But then again, walking to school was probably not the best time nor the best place to ask about it.

“I guess you’re happy about the weather, eh?” You switch the topic.

“Yes…” Syoko mumbles, “I’ve always like rainy days, ever since I was little.”

“What, because it’s good for your mushrooms?”

Syoko shakes her head. “S-sort of that, but there’s another reason…” Her voice then trails off, and then she falls deep into thought. You tilt your head sideways in confusion.

Before you can say anything else, the school building becomes visible in the distance. You and your friends are rapidly approaching it, like a man reaching the light reaching the end of the tunnel, but less ominous. As expected of a rainy atmosphere, there are hardly any students milling around the front yards. Your eyes catch a few running headlong first towards the safety of the main building, some using their book-bags as a shield against the torrent from the sky.

“Come on, let’s get under there before we get fully drenched.” On your bro’s suggestion, you and your friends begin sprinting towards the front gate. After Laura flings open the glass doors, you all get busy to work drying yourselves and preparing for the next class. Hatoko graciously summons a ball of water to collect all the moisture. Then she kicks the ball outside, where it explodes on the front path like a gigantic H20-filled bomb.

You have the chance to speak to Syoko before class starts. What will you do?

No, it looks like /a/ is better. The only thing 11's did better was move Ayase from #5 to #6, which isn't that big a change.

>>40058153
they also moved Sachiko and Syoko up, put Hatoko in the middle, and didn't put Kurumi at the top

>>40058153
They also move Kurumi down from first. So they're acknowledging that Sachiko and Syoko are better than Kurumi. As is correct and proper.

Kurumi is middle of the pack. Sachiko and Hatoko currently at the top of girls in bro's harem, and Syoko is ahead of them

You switch your shoes in your locker and make sure all the books for your next class are there. The others are getting busy as well. Laura is still holding onto Tatsuya’s arm, and Hatoko is trying to persuade her to let go without much success. You finish up your business and head over to another set of lockers in the room.

Syoko is there, switching her rubber boots for her school shoes. They’re very high-quality, shining with polish. Sachiko's handiwork, no doubt.

“Hey Syoko.” You speak up. At once, she turns to look at you.

“W-what is it, Kazuya?”

“Let’s eat lunch together. It’s been a while.” You say. “Ah, but we can’t use the roof today, can we? We’ll go the cafeteria instead.”

Syoko hesitates for a moment, as if doing so would turn out to be a bad idea. Then her face lights up somewhat, and a tiny grin blossoms between her pale cheeks.

“O-okay!” Syoko speaks. “I-I’ll be there.”

The bell rings. With that, your friends disperse and head off to their respective classes. The place is emptied in less than a minute.

Outside, the rain continues to fall.

[4:00 am, Feb 25, 2016]

It is very early in the morning. Dawn is about to arrive, to shove the night aside with its rays of rising sunlight. You are asleep in your bed, dressed in a T-shirt and shorts. Of course you are. Hardly anybody is awake at the moment, apart from late-night gamers and workers rushing to catch the train for the very early shift.

You snore, and roll over in your bed. You dream. This time, Gray Soul leaves you alone. Even maddened beasts from beyond the human realm need their rest. You delve into your past in your slumber. Raids against the insurmountable enemy, explorations in dungeons and relaxation with the party all flow by you. Then it halts.

…This is a memory from four years ago. You are twelve years old. So if your best friend, and Hatoko. The adventure has yet to begin, Gray Soul is still sealed away in its temple and your knowledge of swordplay is next to nil.

You are sitting on a bench in a city park. It is lunchtime. Your bro has run off to get hotdogs for the two of you. There is nothing to do here, so you just relax in your seat and listen to the beeps and the rushes of the city around you.

Time passes, in which you do nothing in particular.

“This is such a vexing device. How do the commoners use it?”

A silky, elegant feminine voice snaps you of your daze. You glance over to your right. There is a woman in the distance, and she is attempting to slide a credit card into a vending machine slot. On closer inspection, it is black.

“Infuriating!” the woman growls.

What will you do?

>Talk to her.

>>40059095
Black cards are usually no limit cards, so it's either Sachiko or a magiced up card for a demonic spy.

>>40059095
I think it's just a very premium credit card. The kind with no limit.

>>40059095
Relax, black credit cards are a thing- they generally mean 'no limit'. So they're generally high-rollers-only, the super rich folks. So yeah, it's possibly Sachiko.

>>40059127
>>40059139

The woman has given up attempting to emulate the functions of a coin with her credit card, and is now pounding on the vending machine with her fist. A heavy thump sounds through the air. Er, did the machine just bend in a little from her fist? Crap, she must be one of those super-strength types. You better stop her before she wrecks the entire machine, denying hundreds of city-goers of their precious ambrosia. Oh, the horror!

“Uh miss,” You speak up as you lift your body off from the bench and stride over, “Do you need some help?

The woman gives the machine another punch, rattling it, before noticing your presence. “Ah, a child. Not the best of assistance, but you shall do. Please, do tell me how to operate this confounded device. I have heard that is possible to procure beverages from this machine, but it has stubbornly refused so far.” She gives the machine another glare. If inanimate objects had emotions, this one would be trembling in fear right now.

“Perhaps I should give it more punishment.” She mutters.

“You’ll break the machine if you do that.” You point out.

“That is true. Well? How do you operate it, then?”

You look at her black credit card. “Miss, you can’t use a card for a vending machine. These things accept change only.”

The woman tilts her head. “Change? The alteration of what, perhaps?”

…just where does this woman come from? She’s definitely older than you. Is she some aristocrat from a foreign and obscure kingdom or something? “Coins.” You reply.

“Coins!” The woman looks astonished! “Ah, I see! Those copper and iron pieces the peasants carry around.”

“Er, yeah…” You give a nervous smile. This lady is weird.

She then moves her eyes towards her credit card. “How odd, that I cannot use this black card of mine. I was taught that it could purchase anything without limit.”

You shrug. “That’s how the world works, I guess.”

“However, I seem to be lacking some of this ‘change’.” The woman muses.

You feel your pockets. There are some spare coins there, only enough for a single drink. How will you approach this situation?

“Here, you can have this.” You say. “Um, you don’t have to pay me back or anything.”

The woman stares down at the change in your palm, her eyes shining with anticipation. “So this is the currency of the peasants…but child, it is truly acceptable for me to take it? Quick, I must adhere to the law of equivalent exchange. What shall I reward you with?” The last line is uttered more to herself than anyone else.

“Haha, you don’t have to do that.” You respond swiftly, before the woman rewards you with something outlandish like a mansion or something. Now that would just be way overboard for something as small as money for a can of drink. “Look, this is nothing for me. It’s not like giving you this will kill me…”

The woman stares for a moment, and then her quizzical expression morphs into a smile. “I see. Then, child, wait for the day where I will pay you back.”

She takes the change and inserts the coins with gusto, selecting a regular can of cola from the machine. It drops to the bottom with a loud ‘thunk’, and the woman bends down and reaches for it. From here, you see that she has quite the voluptuous chest, but that’s not really your sort of thing. Maybe Tatsuya’s.

“So this is how a vending machine operates. I must note this down and share it with my peers.” The woman states, to nobody in particular. Thankfully, she appears to know how to open a can of drink. She takes a sip of immediately.

“Ah, this fizziness and wonderful taste. It is like champagne, but baser and sweeter. Despite being mass-produced, it is very fulfilling. Perhaps I should bring the recipe back home.”

“There are better drinks than that.” You pipe up. And good luck trying to steal the recipe from Coca-Cola, too…

You still don’t know who this person is. She’s tall, taller than a lot of people. She’s got a big chest, and she carries an air of authority and splendor around her.

“Hey Onee-chan, who are you?” You ask.

“Onee-chan?” The woman questions, spinning around to face you. “My my, I did not realize you were engaged to my youngest sister.”

“Engaged?” You blush a little. “I don’t get it.”

“Onee-chan refers to older sister in this world, correct? Therefore, for you to call me Onee-chan, it means that you wish to marry my imouto, as you would call it. Oh dear, has she gone behind my back and secretly fallen for such a child? How preposterous! She isn’t of age, for one… ”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” You truthfully reply. “I’m not that interested into girls, at the moment.”

“Hm. That reassures me. I would not like my imouto’s purity to be defiled at a young age. Besides, she is very far away from where we are currently now.” The woman stops daydreaming in her thoughts, and turns to look at you. “It seems I have not yet answered your first question. To put it briefly, I am one who has recently begun to walk the path of stardom. With my allies at my side, I will reach the peak of my skyward journey. I will shine like the brightest star, amidst the blackest night.”

You tilt your head. Her words are confusing. “Are you a famous person?” You ask.

“In one world, I am. In this world, I soon will be.”

“Oh.” You say in realization. “Maybe I’ll see you on TV one day.”

The woman gives you a wry smile. “Maybe you will. Alas, it seems that I must be off. My colleagues are waiting for me.”

Then the woman leans down and does something unexpected. She pats your hair, ruffling it. “You are an interesting one. Farewell, child. May we meet again in the future.”

With that, the woman leaves. You watch her retreating figure. That tall stature. Those long and dignified legs. That beautiful silver hair, cascading like an elegant waterfall from her head.

Your eyes widen. Time freezes. Your heart beats. In, out, in, out. The world shrinks and swirls.

…

Who is this? Why is she here? You know her, don’t you? She had come back, as she said she would. There used to be a place in Earth for her, but now it is gone. She wiped out the entire party once. The morning star had crashed down from the sky, destroying the area, burning skin and sending bodies flying. You couldn’t block it. Hatoko’s shields were useless against it. Almighty magic couldn’t be nulled, reflected or absorbed.

Danger approaches. In the distance, you hear howling of the bad beast.

Then you wake up.

It is seven in the morning, and sunlight is streaming through the window.

“Shit.” You growl. “What the hell was that…”

[12:45 pm, Feb 26, 2016]

It is Wednesday. The rain is still pouring down. It has done so for two days straight, since Monday earlier in the week. There have been brief relapses, but they only lasted for an hour or two before the heavens decided it was high time to resume weeping.

You are eating in the cafeteria with Laura, Kurumi and Tatsuya. Sachiko, Hatoko and Syoko are all curiously absent. The roof is coated in water, so moving here your only option outside of eating in the classroom. The four of you have gotten a table to yourselves.

“This isn’t bad…” Laura inspects the rice and chicken meal she is currently consuming. “Better than the rations I make, at least.”

“I actually kinda missed this.” Your bro confesses. “I mean, this is nowhere as good as the stuff I make, but school lunches just have this sort of strange charm, you know what I mean?”

“Like eating on a camping trip?” Kurumi asks.

“Yeah, that sort of thing.” He was right. Hunting animals, skinning them and roasting them over an open fire somehow made your food all the tastier. Natural eggs, in particular, tasted fuller than ones bought in a store.

“I suppose our meals could be several degrees worse.” Laura says. “Are we allowed seconds? I would like to ask how this is made.”

>“Where’s everybody else?”
>“Seconds aren’t allowed, Laura.”
>Say nothing.
>“You want to work in a kitchen, or something?”

>>40062116
>>“Seconds aren’t allowed, Laura.”

Give it a minute, then:

> "Where's everybody else?"

>>40062116
>“Where’s everybody else?”

>>40062167
A bit too on the nose.

But yeah, let's small talk before wondering about everyone.

>>40062116
>“Seconds aren’t allowed, Laura.”
>Custom option.
"They'd probably be fine with telling you how to make it, though. The lunch ladies always appreciate help."

>>40062116
>“Seconds aren’t allowed, Laura.”
sadly I could eat more two.
>“Where’s everybody else?”

>>40062116

Wait
>Where is everybody else?

>>40062247
unlike Sachiko and Hatoko, Kurumi and Ayase haven't really shown themselves to be more than their archetypes. I'm still reserving judgement on Laura because we haven't spoken to her much, but she's currently boring as well

Is this the real life? Is this just an illusion brought about by too many swift blows to the noggin?

“Seconds aren’t allowed Laura,” You mutter. “Although the lunch ladies always appreciate the help. No-one ever does, though.”

“How come?” Laura asks.

“Because it’s boring.”

Laura narrows her eyes. “I served in the army. We had a cooking roster, one that I was part of. Work like this is trivial for me.”

“Hey, if you want to work in the kitchens, be my guest.”

You eat your fried rice lunch in peace, making small talk with your friends as you do so. Time passes. Ten minutes, fifteen minutes, twenty minutes. Your meals are finished, reduced to nothing more than bits of rice and fragments of meat sticking to your bowls and plates.

“Where is everybody?” You wonder out loud. The table seems strangely empty.

“Hatoko had business with the library. Who knows where Sachiko is.” Kurumi replies. She is snuggling up to your bro, a sight that makes Laura’s teeth clench. “Syoko…I think we invited her, but she hasn’t shown up.”

“Maybe she’s busy as well?” Your bro sighs.

“She may be with Koshimizu. The two of them are close.”

“Ah, I don’t care if it’s nearly the end of lunch. I’m going to find her.” You stand up from your seat and head for the exit.

“Good luck!” Kurumi calls, from behind you.

Where should you go? The roof, which is drenched to last inch of concrete? The library, a place of learning and computer games on the school terminals? Perhaps Syoko had gotten too lazy and opted to eat her own lunch in her classroom.

The point is, A-1 Megiddo Academy for Supernatural Development was a huge place. By the time you explored one wing, lunch break would be over and class would begin. Yes, you could focus your power into your legs and give yourself super speed, but this neither the time nor the place for doing so. For one, the school wasn’t under attack.

So you try the third option. Ducking into a hidden corner, you unsheathe Gray Soul and grasp the hilt tightly. It is hungry for blood, and barking mad. This time you’ll have to deny it. Reining it in, you close your eyes and allow the tendrils of madness from within you to burst free. Intangible and invisible, they travel through walls, ceilings and floors, feeding you information about every living person in the building.

You can feel the presences of everyone in the building. Most of them are weak; they are the average classmates. You can detect your bro, Kurumi and Laura in the cafeteria. Syoko, on the other hand, is near the roof. Why is that? She appears to be in the stairwell. Did she come up there to look at the rain?

You can feel your bloodlust growing. Damn, this isn’t good. You reign in the tendrils and take a deep breath.

“So that’s where you are…”

Time is running out. Soon, the bell you ring. So you kick off against the ground and dash towards the roof stairs. One flight, two flights. You reach the top in no time, where you see Syoko sitting at the top. She doesn’t look too happy. Her back is against the cold brick wall, and she is staring at her feet.

“Kazuya?” She whispers. “W-what are you doing here?”

I was looking for you.” You answer honestly. “You kinda bailed out on us, Syoko.”

“Oh, I-I’m sorry.” Syoko frowns and lowers her head. “The truth is, I’m just not feeling very hungry today…”

“How come?”

“I just am…”

You scratch your head and move to sit next to her. “Well, did you at least try to eat something? You can’t run on an empty stomach.”

“I ate some bread, so I-I’m fine…” Syoko replies. She doesn’t say anything else. The two of you sit in silence, listening to the pitter-patter of the downpour outside. Syoko twitches a little and shifts her shoulders, but does nothing else. The scenario is awkward. When did it get like this between the two of you?

“Hey Syoko, are you feeling alright?”

“Why do you say that?” She asks you.

You think. “It’s just…well, you seem kinda distant now. Not just from me, but from bro, Hatoko and the other girls as well. We don’t seem to talk much.”

Syoko remains tightlipped. Then…

“There’s nothing going on, Kazuya.”

That just makes it sound more suspicious, is what you think. “Syoko. Are you positive? Because if there’s something troubling you, you can talk it out with us.”

“I know, Kazuya.” And this time Syoko’s voice becomes firm like iron. She stands up and picks up her bag.

“I-it’s fine. You don’t have to worry about me.”

You stare at her from behind your shades. A second passes. Then you sigh and shrug your shoulders.

“Alright, if you say so.”

no, no, bad anon, don't give QM ideas

>>40064140
I don't think we're at risk of breaking or even straining the link here. this is something going on that has nothing to do with us, and that's much worse because it means we can't stop it

>>40064187
I feel like it's because we have nothing to do with this that we might end up prying too far into her business and causing her to push us away.

>>40064265
maybe, but I feel this is an "I want to tell you but something's stopping me" situation more than an "I don't want anybody prying in my business" situation. Then again, I could be very very wrong

It’s Thursday afternoon, the penultimate schoolday in the week. The skies are orange, people are making their way home and so on and so forth. It is what your bro and some of his harem members have already done. Syoko is with them. You, however, are not.

Instead of heading home and cracking open a can of lemon-lime to gulp down, you are standing at the very back of the school. You are in the shadows, leaning against a grey wall. The area is silent.

Only one other presence is here. “I’m grateful you showed up.”

“So what did you call me here for, Laura?” You direct your gaze to the German pilot standing before you. Firm stance, eyes focused and cold, hands on hips. “It’s not a confession, is it?”

“Heavens no.” Laura strikes down the notion the way she would do so to an enemy chopper with a rocket launcher. “It’s something more important.”

“And that is…?”

“I’ll cut to the chase. Syoko has been acting strange, and I intend to find out why.” She says. “What are your thoughts on this?”

You stare at her.

>“Finally, someone else notices.”
>“You too, huh?”
>“I…guess she has?”
>“I haven’t noticed.”
>Custom option.

>>40064482
>“You too, huh?”

>>40064482
>“You too, huh?”

>>40064482
>“You too, huh?”
>“Finally, someone else notices.”

>>40064482
>>“You too, huh?”
Then
>“Finally, someone else notices.”
Surprised and alarmed your the only one who has noticed. She doesn't hide her feelings half as well as bro did.

>>40064482
>>Custom option.

I noticed too, It seems like something is bothering her and she almost wants to protect us from whatever it is.

>>40064482
>“You too, huh?”

>>40064482
>“You too, huh?”
>"Got any ideas? I want to know what's wrong, but I don't want to force her to tell us something personal and important to her"

>>40064482
>Custom option.
"Yeah, she has. I've tried talking to her about it but she brushes me off. I think whatever's going on must be pretty personal. I want to find out so we can help her, but I don't want her to know we're looking into it and feel betrayed. You willing to work with that?"

>>40064482
>"I tried asking her, but she didn't want to tell me anything. Have you tried talking to Sachiko? That's what I was thinking of doing."

>>40064482
>>“You too, huh?”

>>40064559
>>40064555
>>40064545
this kind of stuff is good

>>40064482
yeah, I'll put my vote behind “You too, huh?” and stepping off if it's too personal

>>40064482
>>“You too, huh?”

So this is what it is about. You were confused at first, but now the only emotion running through your mind is relief. Not for you, but towards your female friend.

“You too, huh?” You say. “I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed.”

“Syoko doesn’t hide her emotions as nearly as well as she thinks she does.” Laura replies. “It’s abundantly clear that she is hiding something from us. And it’s troubling her greatly.”

“Yeah, I’ve tried to talking to her a couple of times but she brushes me off.” You mutter. “I figure what’s happening to her is pretty personal.”

“I have reached the same conclusions.” Laura responds. “But from the way she acts, it’s like she’s trying to protect us from whatever her problems are.”

“Protect us?” That sounds absurd. “Protect us from what exactly? We’ve the thirteen heroes; there’s nothing we can’t overcome if we work together.”

Laura nods. “You’re right, Kazuya. But that might not be how Syoko sees it. She probably believes the consequences will be terrible, for her and us if her problems were to be revealed. She thinks she’s doing us a favor, but in reality her heart is hurting.”

Laura suddenly frowns and growls. She is angry. “That girl…why is she keeping her feelings locked up to herself? Does she want to tread the same I path I once took? Does she want to experience despair that badly? What are you doing, Syoko Hoshi? You have friends who want to help you. Talk to us!”

“Laura…”

She sighs and relaxes. Her eye stops bulging in its single socket. “Sorry, I shouldn’t have gone off a tangent like that. In any case, we need to do something about this.”

“How?”

“By being direct, that’s how.”

You cross your arms. “Are you implying we force Syoko to talk?”

“Yes, it seems like the only way to get answers from her.”

You turn your head to the side and wince. “Won’t she feel pressured and betrayed if that happens?”

Laura stares at you, and you see the intensity in her crimson eye. She is clearly determined to see this through to the end. “Sometimes Kazuya, we don’t have a choice in what we do. I have reasons to believe this is one of those times.”

We're the party berserker, we don't do subtle. We do however have a BFS to cut Gordian knots.

>>40064894
Please, Syoko, I think we need to talk about what is bothering you.

...Just realized. We might have to fight for our Syoko.

>>40065071
might? oh no, that was expected from the beginning. but hopefully at least part of the fight will be side-by-side with her, she doesn't seem the type to just sit back like a princess in a tower

Inb4 she's been engaged to someone else against her will.

It is the end of school, again. It is Friday, the end of the school week. You are standing at the edge of the school lockers. Around you, students are switching their shoes from their own spaces and heading off home, chatting and laughing as they do so. Your eyes wander over to where Syoko is. She hasn’t even begun.

Now is a good as any. You and Laura agreed to do so yesterday. For some reason, she believed it would be best if you handled the procedures by yourself, so here you are.

You walk over to the girl who has been evading your questions for the past week.

“Kazuya?” she asks.

How will you approach this?

Not that I want to fight Syoko, but I'd like to see an all out berserker brawl between us.

when we're a fair way from school, then say
