Opening Animation.
The opening begins by showing several objects in succession: Rena’s cleaver lying on some junk in the junkyard, Mion’s holstered gun lying on a table, Shion’s stun gun lying on a bench, and a teddy bear sitting on a desk. The second version of the opening replaces the bear with Rika’s gift box.
Shots of various characters are shown next: Keiichi standing somewhere in Hinamizawa holding his bat and staring at the sky, Rena holding her cleaver in the junkyard and looking towards the camera, Mion and Shion sitting back to back in their house with Shion holding her stun gun and Mion her firearm; both of them look downtrodden. The camera looks into a school window where Rika and Satoko are standing back to back at a distance. It changes to a closer shot where both of them are closer together and look down.
The singing starts, and black birds are shown flying into the air. A flower vase sits on a school desk, the window view suggesting that it is on the second or third floor. The Oyashiro-sama statue inside the ritual storehouse is shown, with both of its hands intact. Water flowing into a sink is shown. A teenage girl undoes the tie on her uniform, likely a teenage Satoko. Hanyuu is shown standing inside the ritual storehouse and staring out into the open door, where it is daylight outside. A panning shot of the branch school is shown. Shots of Rena’s cleaver surrounded by blood, the cross inside the Sonozaki torture chamber, and blood flowing down a river, are shown rapidly. A panning shot of the Sonozaki secret tunnel is shown. The camera pans through the storehouse again where a shadowed figure is kneeling. The camera zooms into the figure, shown to have horns, which looks at the camera before it smiles with a red slit. The second opening reveals the figure to be Eua.
A teenage Rika runs through a forest, stumbling at times. A splash of blood erupts into the air and changes view to Rika looking towards the camera as she runs. She reaches her hand out towards the storehouse doors opening into a white space, which some Fragments fly out of. A pair of hands reaching towards Rika is reflected in her eye. Many scenes are played in rapid succession: a light fixture on a building, the rotary phone in Rika and Satoko’s shack, a wrecked car at the junkyard, the water wheel in Hinamizawa, the torii gate at the Furude Shrine, a roadside rail in Okinomiya, a garden, a living room table covered with beer bottles and cans, a hospital bed with a cart full of supplies next to it, the child consultation center, a set of lockers at school, a doll wearing a kimono inside a case with another doll next to it wearing an ornate dress, what appears to be St. Lucia Academy, and a khakkara. A hand (likely Rika’s) picks up the fragment of the Onigari-no-ryuuou.The title is shown, with blood dripping off the red na character into a puddle below

fandom.07th-expansion | # Ikuko Hachijo/Article
is a mystery novelist who is responsible for taking in Battler Ushiromiya after the Rokkenjima Mass Murders and giving him the new name of Tohya Hachijo. The two of them fabricated stories about the Rokkenjima Mass Murders under a shared pseudonym.
Appearance.
Ikuko appears as a young woman with mid-back purple hair. She wears what appears to be a brown strapless dress with several ruffles and a yellow ribbon in the front with a green colored gem near the bottom. Over this she wears a light colored jacket that reaches to her knees.
Personality.
Ikuko is an eccentric and anti-social individual, having no friends or companions besides her black cat Bern. Ikuko claims that writing novels used to be fun when asked by Tohya about her pastime, however she seems to enjoy writing novels together with him.
Background.
According to Tohya, Ikuko was the daughter of a very well-off family and was almost disowned due to "various mischievous incidents". Ikuko was sent to live in a mansion by herself, where she lived peacefully with hired servants and spent her time reading and writing detective novels, her manuscripts going unseen by anyone else. One rainy day in 1986, Ikuko chanced upon a nearly-drowned Battler on a road, who escaped Rokkenjima after the mass murders but developed brain damage and amnesia.
Ikuko took Battler to live with her and gave him the temporary name of Tohya. She offered to give Tohya brain surgery to lessen the pain of his frequent headaches, but he declined out of concern for harming his past self. One day, Tohya began reading some of Ikuko's manuscripts and convinced her to start publishing them. The duo put together their best ideas and wrote "The Strange Tale of Kurokubi Island", considering it to be a masterpiece. The night after, Tohya woke up to see Ikuko reading on her computer about the Rokkenjima Mass Murders, the woman taking interest in the rumors and forgeries surrounding it. Tohya began to recover his memories of Battler and struggled to control himself. Tohya and Ikuko would then begin writing their own Forgeries to try and help Tohya retrieve his old memories.
In the "Twilight of the Golden Witch" manga, Ikuko discovers a message bottled titled "Confession of the Golden Witch". It contained the confession of Yasu, the writer of the original two message bottles.
Story.
Ikuko has been presented prior to "Twilight" under the pseudonym Tohya Hachijo.
Twilight of the Golden Witch.
The nature of Tohya Hachijo being two people is revealed in this arc.
In the ???, decades after Ange has established herself as the author Yukari Kotobuki, Ikuko and Tohya meet her and reveal the truth about Battler's fate. They attend a Halloween party at the Fukuin House where Battler's memories are put to rest.

Japanese Transcript.
「よいか真里亞。
魔法とは感謝の気持ちの上に成り立っていることを、決して忘れてはならぬ。
妾のような邪悪の極とて、その気持ちを忘れてはならぬのだ。」
"Listen, Maria.
You must never forget, magic is founded upon gratitude.
Even for the peak of evil such as me, those feelings are always a must to remember."
「うー、感謝？」
"Uu, gratitude?"
「そうだ。魔法は、この世に幾多ある人以上の存在に 奇跡を懇願し、それを叶えてもらうことを指す。
魔女が魔法を行使するのではない。
魔女が、人以上の存在に奇跡の行使を祈るのだ。
……雨乞いを考えるのが良いか。
干ばつに苦しむ人々が、天に雨を懇願し、それが届いて雨が降る。
それは、天に祈りが届いたからであって、彼らが雨を降らしたことにはならぬということだ。」
"Correct. The pointer of magic is the act of appealing for a miracle to a being above many people in this world and having them grant the wish.
Witches aren't wielding magic.
Witches pray to wield miracles as a being above humans.
...Let's think about it like, praying for the rain.
People who suffered the drought appealed to heaven for the rain, and rain would fall once the prayer reached.
That's because the prayer reached heaven, and not because people made the rain happen."
「願いが届かなかったら、ベアトでも魔法は使えない…？」
"If the wish isn't met, magic is impossible even for someone like Beato...?"
（・・・・中略・・・・）
今や、魔法の力は人目を忍ばねばならぬ。
人の前でその奇跡を示すことができぬ。
人間自身がそれを拒み、否定する分際で、妾を前にし、魔法の 奇跡を示して見せろと挑発する。
その力を奪ったのが人間自身でありながら、それを挑発されること が、何と言う屈辱か…！
だから妾が考えたのだ。
魔法を見せることが叶わなくとも、魔女であることを認めさせること は不可能ではないのだと。
魔法を示し、魔女であることを示せないならば。
魔法以外では成し遂げられず、魔女だと認めざるを得ないよう、 あらゆる”現象”を全て、否定しきれば良いのだ。
これは気の遠くなるような遠大な証明となるだろう。
これぞまさに、悪魔の証明の正攻法。
いや、妾に相応しく「魔女の証明」とでも言って見せればいいか。
時間は永遠にある。
人間どもが全て屈服するまで、妾はいくらでも繰り返そうぞ。
それこそが、妾が人間どもに課す永遠の拷問。 善きものたちを追放し、その奇跡を貶めた罪への罰。
As for now, the power of magic must be hidden from the public eye.
Our miracle can't be proven in front of people.
To deny and disprove it, humans themselves come to me and challenge me to demonstrate miracles with magic.
Humans are the very same ones that took away my power, and yet I have to endure their challenge, imagine how humiliated I'd be...!
So I came up with a thought.
That it is not impossible to be acknowledged as a witch, without delivering visible magic.
The pointer to magic might as well be the pointer to the existence of a witch.
To see if various "phenomena" unable to accomplished without a witch and impossible to deny as a witch's doings can be altogether rejected.
This will be my wildest and wildest proof.
This is none other than a direct assault by Devil's Proof.
No, how about call it "Witch's Proof" to befit me better?
Time is endless for me.
I shall repeat this how many times it takes, to have the likes of humans learn it down to their bone.
That shall be, my endless torture to impose on the likes of humans. To purge the righteous ones, to punish the sin that spited our miracle.

fandom.07th-expansion | # Inori Mikazuki
is one of the main characters in "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei". She is a shy girl and a member of the Polaris cult.
Profile.
"A beautiful girl with a mysterious aura who goes to the same school as Keitarou and the others."
(Translated from the Hoshiwatashi website).
Appearance.
Inori has amber eyes and long black hair tied into braids with blue bows at the end. In the "Hoshiwatashi" teaser image, she is shown wearing a white hat with a yellow 8-pointed star on it and a long white dress with blue cuffs. At other times, Inori wears a school uniform.
Personality.
Inori is a very quiet and shy girl, getting frightened when non-Polaris members try to speak to her. After Keitarou's attempts at befriending her, Inori starts to open up and speak to him a bit, despite her discomfort. In "Hoshiwatashi", Inori shows she went so far as to remember Keitarou's "mute button".
Background.
Inori used to live in an abusive household, with her mom often being beaten by her dad. One day, Inori and her mom ran away from home and travelled for a while before meeting the Holy Mother of Polaris. They joined the cult and moved to Hinamizawa to live with other Polaris members, where Inori became friends with Kururu. Inori then started attending the Okinomiya middle school.
Relationships.
Kururu Isshiki.
Kururu is Inori's friend in Polaris. Kururu seems very protective of Inori and seems to get in Keitarou's way when he shows interest in befriending Polaris.
Role in the Story.
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei.
Oniokoshi.
Inori is introduced leaving a classroom when Keitarou runs into her and tries to make friends with her. Inori is scared by him and accidentally falls down a flight of stairs. Keitarou goes to help her as Inori mumbles inaudible things while clutching a keychain and giving frightened looks at him. Keitarou asks some nearby girls to help but they stare at him instead.
Keitarou carries Inori to the nurse's office to get her patched up and then tries to make friends with her again. Inori says nothing, and when Kururu and her friends appear, Inori starts speaking to them. Inori leaves the office and gives Keitarou a short bow.
Keitarou notices that Inori left behind her keychain and puts it in his pocket. After school, Keitarou tells his friends about Inori's strange behavior and learns about Polaris, a group that takes in domestic violence victims and refuses to talk to anybody outside their circle. Keitarou later sees Inori and Kururu inside a procession of Polaris cars.
Inori and Kururu go shopping together, and Inori gets harassed by delinquents after being left alone. Keitarou and his friends happen to be nearby and rescue her, and when Keitarou sees it's Inori, he introduces her to the others. Inori thanks them for their help and runs away, leaving Kururu behind to explain her situation to Keitarou's group.
After the Watanagashi Festival, Sakiko's father Kisaku goes missing, and Sakiko assumes Polaris was responsible for it. At school later, a distraught Sakiko vents her frustrations by yelling at Inori and a group of Polaris kids. Inori and the others respond by joining hands and praying, creeping out Keitarou and his friends.
Keitarou arranges a picnic event between Hinamizawa and Polaris, hoping to make the two groups get along. Right before the event, several Polaris members including Inori and Kururu break into his house. They tie up Keitarou, murder his grandparents, and accuse Keitarou of trying to "destroy the world". Keitarou tries appealing to Inori, thinking Hinamizawa and Polaris can still understand each other, and Inori says she once saw Keitarou as a shining star, but when other Polaris kids felt stressed whenever they interacted with him, they began to see him as a star of misfortune; Inori starts scratching her throat as she says this. The other Polaris members start scratching their throats as well and set fire to Keitarou's house. Kururu welcomes Inori into the Ring of Stars and gives her the new name of Mirach. Inori and her comrades pray as the house burns down around them, ultimately resulting in theirs and Keitarou's deaths. Police investigation later reveals the Polaris group had left the cult before invading Keitarou's house, meaning Polaris can't be held responsible for the incident.
Hoshiwatashi.
Keitarou sees Inori exit a classroom and tries to make friends with her, but Inori is scared and falls down a flight of stairs. Keitarou tends to her wounds and is confused by Inori's friends standing by and watching rather than help.
Inori is carried by Keitarou to the nurse's office, where she gets treated for some bleeding and a sprain. Keitarou tries once more to become friends with her, and before Inori can say anything, her friends and Kururu arrive to gather her. Inori gives Keitarou a short bow before leaving.
At the store, Keitarou sees Inori with her mom and calls out to them, which causes them to drop their groceries in fright. Keitarou helps pick them up and apologizes for causing Inori to get hurt yesterday. As he's leaving, Inori thanks him for everything and exhausts herself as a result. After the Mikazukis drive off, Keitarou becomes more determined to becomes friends with her.
Keitarou tries to learn what Polaris kids feel about Hinamizawa by giving them surveys at school, and also gives one to Kururu. Kururu crumples it up in private however, and tells Inori about how suspicious Keitarou's group is before hugging her. The next day, Inori finds a letter from Keitarou inside her locker. Inori meets up with Kururu and the kids who got surveys earlier and reads out the letter, where Keitarou expresses his desire to better himself and become friends with the members of Polaris. Kururu takes note of Keitarou's value to Polaris and arranges for herself and Inori to meet him in private after school the next day. Kururu and Inori invite Keitarou to attend the Polaris festival being held tomorrow. Keitarou accepts and meets them at the Polaris settlement the next day. Keitarou grows close with Kururu and Inori as he spends time with them and Polaris. Inori explains how she knows there are good people in the world, but she's still afraid of interacting with other people. Inori thanks Keitarou for trying to understand her and expresses how she wants to live in Hinamizawa. After the festival, Keitarou expresses his desire to continue vouching for Polaris and prove that they can get along with Hinamizawa. Kururu and Inori give their support, not wanting to abandon another home.
Shortly after the Watanagashi Festival, Kisaku goes missing and Rika is murdered, leading Sakiko and other Hinamizawans to believe Polaris was responsible for it. They form a mob and storm the Polaris settlement, with Inori and her mother being woken up by Kururu at night to run from the mob and get to the Holy Mother. Keitarou rushes back to the settlement right when the mob has begun killing people, and saves Inori's group from a Hinamizawan by killing him. They make it to a church, where the Holy Mother and other members have barricaded themselves. Keitarou pleads with the Holy Mother to run away or else everyone will die. Inori's mother then asks Keitarou why he's so concerned about Polaris and claims that Inori's become corrupted because of him. Inori tries to explain, and the Holy Mother addresses her and says that even if she runs away, she'll still be a member of Polaris. Keitarou and Inori then run away to escape, leaving Kururu behind to defend the others from the invading mob.
Keitarou and Inori make it to a back door behind the church, but once they get out they run into Sakiko, who attacks Keitarou and cuts him in the throat. Keitarou and Inori rush back inside and lock the door. As Keitarou dies he pleads Inori to run away, but she stays with him. Sakiko and the other Hinamizawans soon break in and kill Inori with an axe strike to the back of her head.

fandom.07th-expansion | # Irie Clinic
The is a doctor's office in Hinamizawa. Kyousuke Irie is director and proprietor of the clinic while Miyo Takano is employed as a nurse.
Description.
The Irie Clinic is a fairly large clinic with up-to-date facilities, contrasting with the many rural houses Hinamizawa has. The clinic is large enough that it can accommodate a parking lot and space for buses.
History.
The Irie Clinic was built in Hinamizawa sometime before the dam project ended. While the villagers were initially skeptical of the clinic due to it being staffed by outsiders, they've since warmed up to Irie and Takano. Satoko is a frequent patient at the clinic.
In "Matsuribayashi", it is revealed that the clinic is also known as the and was funded by the organization "Tokyo" for the purposes of researching Hinamizawa Syndrome, a parasitic virus native to Hinamizawa. Satoko is a frequent patient due to her being a terminal patient of the syndrome who has also managed to escape the terminal stages and unknowingly provides the clinic with lots of data. The Irie Clinic with the help of the Mountain Dogs has also propagated Oyashiro-sama's curse as a cover-up for the disappearances of various people in their research into Hinamizawa Syndrome; the dam construction foreman's murderer and Rika's mother were dissected by them as the former was a terminal patient and the latter was the previous queen carrier for the Hinamizawa Syndrome parasites. Satoshi Houjou was also a terminal patient and instead of being dissected was placed in intensive care.

Isolated Pawn is the fifteenth episode of the and the fourth episode of Banquet of the Golden Witch.
Synopsis.
Eva has solved the epitaph and found the hidden gold, but Rosa has done the same. The two of them settle on how to split the gold, but Eva's younger self has other plans.
Plot Summary.
First Half.
Eva is in shock to have discovered the gold hidden by the epitaph, when a voice congratulates her: it's Rosa. She's solved the epitaph as well, and laments not being fast enough to reach the bedroom. Eva and Rosa remark how they could just shoot each other and claim the gold for themselves, but they decide it's not worth it. Back outside in the arbor, Eva and Rosa discuss how to handle the gold. They then strike a deal: Rosa wants 150 million yen by the end of March, and Eva wants her to keep quiet about them finding the gold until later; she wants to figure out how to make Rudolf and Krauss accept her inheritance of the headship, planning to divide the gold amongst them.
Meanwhile, Eva's younger self refuses to share the gold and remains behind in the bedroom, declaring herself to be the head of the Ushiromiya family. Beatrice then appears and acknowledges her as the true head, having solved the epitaph. She plans to honor Eva's achievement, taking off her Head's Ring and giving it to her.
Beatrice then announces that not only has the young Eva received Kinzo's gold and the wealth of the Ushiromiya family, but she's also received the title and powers of the Endless Witch. Beatrice spreads her arms and they enter a large hall, with Beatrice's furniture, Bernkastel, and Lambdadelta appearing. Eva sees Beatrice standing under a portrait of herself and holding a rod shaped like the One-Winged Eagle, and kneels in front of her. Beatrice officially grants Eva the titles of Golden and Endless Witch, the name Beatrice, and all of the Endless Magic. Beatrice then tells Eva to stand and accept the eagle rod; she takes it and transforms from a schoolgirl outfit into a dress. As the congregation claps for her, the portrait of Beatrice is changed to be one of Eva, now EVA-Beatrice.
Ronove introduces himself to the new Beatrice, and Lambda goes up to her, saying that if she hadn't signed on, EVA couldn't become a witch. The former Beatrice introduces Lambda as the Witch of Certainty, saying that her recommendation as a witch from the senate was needed for EVA's succession as a witch. Bern goes up and tells her that she sees EVA's succession not as a miracle, but a coincidence; she's introduced as the Witch of Miracles. The Stakes then introduce themselves to EVA, kneeling before her.
Meanwhile, Battler expresses his disbelief that Eva became a witch and the new Beatrice. Beatrice herself is also surprised, thinking that nobody could solve the epitaph. Battler calls Virgilia to explain, who says that Eva merely received the title of Golden Witch, with the witch succession just a performance; it's meant to fit with Beatrice's interpretation of the epitaph being solved. Battler also tries to get a grasp of what the younger Eva actually is, with Ronove suggesting to treat her like an alter-ego of the real Eva. Beatrice then remarks that because she gave her name to Eva, she needs a new, cute nickname; Battler decides to call her Beato. Beato pouts, hoping to get a more elegant name as Ronove laughs.
Eva and Rosa return to the guesthouse, greeted by the adults. Kyrie notes that Eva doesn't look too good, and Hideyoshi touches her forehead, seeing that she has a fever. Kyrie offers to call Nanjo down, but Eva refuses her and instead wishes to rest in her room. As she and Hideyoshi leave, the adults comment on how Eva must've gotten sick since there's been a murder and they've been eating canned food all day.
Eva is now resting in bed with Hideyoshi pressing his hand against her forhead; he says it has magic in it, and that magic only appears if you believe. Eva recounts how she never believed in the story about Beatrice living in the forest, saying that if a witch did exist, it had to exist in her heart. She explains how since she was young, she's felt as though there was another Eva inside her, a witch, that was always encouraging her. She then grabs Hideyoshi's hand, asking him not to let go, saying that she feels like the witch inside her is growing stronger. He looks at her solemnly as he hears crying in the hallway; Maria is throwing a tantrum and wants to see her rose. Rosa tries to get her to calm down as Hideyoshi meets them, asking what's up: Maria says she wants to take care of the rose Beatrice gave her, and Hideyoshi asks her to quiet down since Eva is sleeping. Maria continues crying, and Rosa reluctantly takes her outside.
Second Half.
The two of them are in the garden and Maria finds her rose, wrapped with a gold ribbon. Rosa then sees another person outside holding an umbrella and aims her gun at them: it's Eva. She wants to continue talking about the gold, but Rosa says not to do it in front of Maria; she still wants to keep her promise, as long as she gets her share. Eva then laughs as Maria asks who she is.
Back in the guesthouse, the real Eva is still in bed and begins moaning in pain, feeling like something's stealing her body as Hideyoshi continues holding her hand. The fake Eva in the garden soon reveals themselves to be EVA-Beatrice, announcing that all the Ushiromiya gold belongs to them. Maria is overjoyed to see "Beatrice" as Rosa stands confused, wondering if that really is Eva. EVA then says that she is no longer the human Eva and will now carry out Beatrice's resurrection ceremony.
She asks Ronove what to do, who says that with Beatrice's power, she can do anything. EVA announces that Rosa and Maria will become the first sacrifices to the new Beatrice, lifting them up into the air. As they scream in horror, EVA reminisces how, as a kid, Rosa always wanted to become a seagull and fly away from the island. Rosa exclaims that she wants to get down and EVA obliges, slamming her and Maria into the ground, killing them. Seeing what she's done, she uses her new powers to revive them. EVA expresses amazement at being able to revive dead people, as Ronove supports her. Extremely overjoyed, EVA continues to use her new powers, creating a giant jelly dessert around Maria and Rosa, who start suffocating. The jelly disappears. and then EVA summons a giant cake to crush them. EVA laughs at her handiwork as Beato in the metaworld laughs at the spectacle. She asks Battler if he's enjoying it too, to which he expresses his disgust. He wants her to get EVA to stop misusing her magic, but Beato laughs at it too, saying that she did the same things when she first got magic. Battler then asks Virgilia to do something, to which she says they only exist outside the gameboard and can't do anything.
Beato continues to laugh and wants Battler to enjoy EVA's magic until he slaps her. Battler calls her a cruel monster, not wanting her to appear in front of him again, and disappears. Beato tries to see where he's coming from, thinking of EVA's murders as just an innocent prank. She asks Virgilia for advice, to which she says to just keep watching if she finds it fun. She disappears too, and Beato finally asks Ronove why Battler got so mad: he just laughs and says Battler doesn't have the same interests as her. Beato still doesn't understand; she's aware that they're enemies and opponents, but wonders why they aren't able to laugh at EVA repeatedly murdering Rosa and Maria. Ronove says that even he, a demon, can understand Battler's feelings, and cites Beato as being very thickheaded as the reason she still doesn't understand. Beato sends him away as well, and wonders what to do.
Back in the garden, Rosa and Maria are lying on the ground, weary from being repeatedly killed by EVA's magic. EVA keeps talking about all the things she wants to do to them when Beato appears. She expresses her amazement at her magic and wants Beato to join when she starts reprimanding her. Beato tries to find the right words to say, saying that EVA already has two sacrifices for the second twilight and doesn't need to toy with them anymore. EVA ignores her, having heard from Ronove that Beato's own magic was much more brutal, referring to the first twilight in Episode 2. Beato says that she might've overdone it, and decides to show her how the predecessor Beatrice does murders. She goes up to Rosa, who wearily asks her to spare Maria; Maria cries, asking Beato to remember their promise of taking her to to golden land. Beato looks saddened as she tells her that she is no longer the Golden Witch Beatrice. To apologize for not keeping her promise, Beato hugs Maria and chokes her to death with invisible hands, citing it as her final rest. As Rosa looks on in horror, Beato lifts her up and slams her onto the fence gate, killing Rosa instantly.
EVA thinks the kills were boring, asking why Beato didn't go all out; she explains that magic has to be used more elegantly, ordering her to follow her instructions from now on. Beato then summons Ronove and the Stakes and tries to give a speech about how dignity is important as a Golden Witch, and Ronove laughs, understanding that he and the Stakes must try to perform in a more "graceful" manner. As the furniture disappears again, Beato gives some parting words to EVA, telling her to act with dignity and be more reasonable. The clock strikes 11:00 as EVA kicks the ground, finding that to be boring.
Teaser.
Rudolf narrates the preview, apologizing to the ladies gazing at the TVs for keeping them waiting. He says its finally time for the adults to talk, hearing of another new witch joining them. Rudolf remarks that he's gone though a 24-hour endurance run seven times and says "I hope you don't underestimate Jack-er, I mean Rudolf!" He wants to show off what he's learned from Western flicks, firing a gun and then taking a call from someone named Akemi. Apparently she misses his "lever-action abilities" and will meet him next Sunday; he makes more innuendos and ends the call. Rudolf says the next episode title and says something to who he thinks is Battler, but is actually Kyrie. She beats him up and leaves, and he apologizes.

fandom.07th-expansion | # It's Good To Have Friends...Right?/Summary
This is a summary of the It's Good To Have Friends...Right? event.
Main Event.
One day, Kazuho, Nao, Miyuki, Mion, and Shion are heading to Rena’s house to check out a thing she found. Rena went treasure hunting and thinks she found a magic mirror, according to a document that came with it. The mirror grants the wish of whoever’s reflected in it. Everyone is skeptical, but they decide to try it anyway. Rena wishes to take kyute Rika and Satoko home, and the mirror glows. They think the wish didn’t work and was too vague, so Rena wishes instead to have a lot of kyute new friends. Suddenly, the mirror glows brighter and Kitty, Cinnamon, Purin, and Kirimi-chan appear.
Kitty’s group wonders where they are. Rena and Nao are smitten by their cuteness while everyone else is dumbfounded. They think there’s some trick to making these stuffed animals talk and emote, but Kitty insists that they are not toys. Kitty and friends introduce themselves, explaining they are from the world of love and dreams. They were just playing together in their world when they suddenly ended up in Hinamizawa. Shion explains that the wish in the magic mirror brought them here. Purin wants to go back but Rena and Nao beg to play with them a bit longer. Kitty says they should determine how to get back first before they continue.
The group reads the mirror document again and finds a section that might say how to undo wishes, but it’s unreadable. Just then, Hanyuu appears and says that Rika and Satoko have mysteriously shrunken down. She pulls out the two of them, and Rika explains that she and Satoko were on the way to Rena’s house when a bright light enveloped them. They realize that Rena’s wish did this. Kazuho tries to make another wish in the mirror but it doesn’t work; the mirror doesn't glow. Miyuki looks in the document and reads that the number of wishes equals the number of crystals fitted into the mirror, and that they must be replaced if depleted; Kazuho is stupefied at the thought that this thing is basically battery powered. Rena says there weren’t any spare crystals when she found it. Rika and Hanyuu look at the mirror and remember a similar artifact in the ritual warehouse, so they should look there.
Kazuho, Kitty and everyone sets off for the Furude Shrine. Along the way, they see some villagers get shrunken down right before their eyes. Rena goes into kyute mode and Mion asks what’s going on. Rena says that when she was walking home from the junkyard she saw some villagers arguing and wished that everyone in the village could be friendly and cute. Shion wonders why the club members weren’t affected, and Rena explains that afterwards she wished to have a fun club activity with them. Rika sees that four wishes were granted.
The group makes it to the warehouse despite Rena and Nao getting sidetracked by all the kyute stuff. Just then, a tsukuyami appears however it has also been kyuteified. Rena and Nao love how kyute it is, but Kazuho tells everyone to focus and defeat it. After the battle, the group comments on how they can turn the kyuteified Hinamizawa into a tourist attraction, however Satoko and Rika object. Miyuki realizes that they're starting to fall victim to the kyuteness like Rena and Nao are.
They enter the warehouse and find two crystals, just like Rika and Hanyuu remember. They have Rena undo the wishes since it might be a rule that whoever made them has to undo them. Rena wishes they could wait a little longer and Mion quickly throws the mirror outside the hall, just in case. They go to retrieve it but a tsukuyami eats the mirror, growing bigger as a result. Intimidated by the sight, Kitty gives her support to the group, and she and her friends transform into new outfits for the club: Rena wears Kitty, Kazuho wears Kirimichan, Mion wears Cinnamon, and Shion wears Purin.
They defeat the tsukuyami, and Kazuho and everyone turns back to normal. They retrieve the mirror. Rena wishes for everyone in the village to turn back to normal, and Rika and Satoko regain their proper size. Kitty and friends say their farewells, offering Rena and everyone the ability to play in their world someday. Rena wishes for Kitty, Purin, Cinnamon, and Kirimichan to go back to their world, and they disappear.
Kazuho wonders if they could have wished to return to the Heisei era, but Miyuki says they still don’t know everything, and so they shouldn't leave; Nao agrees. Just when everything seemed to return to normal, Keiichi suddenly appears holding Tiran. He says he came from another world and wants to know how to get him back. Rena and Nao see Tiran and immediately fawn over him. A tired Kazuho asks what to do, and Rika says they might have to search the junkyard for more crystals.
It’s said that the struggle to send Tiran back may or may not be told in a future story.

Every day after school, for 49 days, the victim is transported to Izanami's world and must run, the time it takes getting longer every day.

Although Aya has learned the trick behind Izanami's curse, he still entices her by claiming he can give her the death she wants and bring her to a good afterlife instead. Aya turns him down.
On the last of the 49 days, Aya encounters Izanami during a marathon, who wants to spend this last day doing something different. Izanami will still chase Aya during the marathon, but he promises to give her a gentle death if he catches her.

"The word 'devastating' doesn't do justice to the scale of the saturation attack he and Miyao can launch when working together. But, according to Miyao, that's pointless overkill, and there isn't really any need for Jayden to be there shooting too."
Constant Surprise Attack Probing (S)
"He likes being unconventional, so he's always using his parallel thinking to search for cunning tactics. He continually comes up with tactics like this at a certain rate throughout the battle. It's the so-called "*ping* I just thought of something stupid" trick."
Background.
Jayden was born in a factory in AOU America. He had a natural talent for P3 training, and he's seen as one of the best Gauntlet Knights in the world.
Story.
Jayden is introduced in the first chapter as a member of the squad Warcat. He has a short duel with Miyao and wins due to being taller than him, thus having longer arms.
During a break, Jayden relaxes at a game center and sees someone who looks like Miyao lurking around. He comes to realize that it's not Miyao but his alternate personality Meow, and the two start to get closer. Jayden changes his behavior around Miyao to the point of creeping him out, and they duke it out with Jayden learning to accept Miyao and Meow as different people. Jayden and Meow later go on a date while receiving advice from the other Gauntlet Knight aces, and they make a promise where Meow will reveal her biological sex on Christmas Day.
In Chapter 11, Jayden and Warcat are deployed for actual combat to the Glass Sea to destroy COU military vehicles.
In Chapter 15, Miyao officially forms the Order of the Public Bath and appoints Jayden as a Master. He recruits Valentina and Maricarmen into the Order since he'd been emailing them from time to time.
In Chapter 20, Miyao receives a video from his dad Toujirou of the explosion incident at the IPMA HQ, and Jayden and Gunhild watch it. After some deliberation, they're forced to accept that the explosion was an accident.
In Chapter 22, Warcat is deployed for another battle on the Glass Sea, and Jayden helps perpetuate a farce involving him launching guided missiles and Miyao taking control of a rival squad's Gauntlets to dodge them. In the next chapter, Jayden and Warcat suppress the drone revolt.
In Chapter 25, Jayden and Meow decide to postpone their Christmas date and instead hold a Christmas party. During the party, Miyao and Jayden talk about a hypothetical scenario where all of humanity is uploaded into a virtual world, and Jayden says he would gladly join Miyao there.
In the epilogue, Jayden appears with a blue body and a veil around his head, telling Miyao that he will go with him anywhere.
The Data Fragments show more of Jayden's relationships with his squad mates.

Transcript.
"We're so lenient!"
"Even though the summoning magic circle was a bit off, we don't mind!"
"After all, the power of love is an important thing!"
"U, uwa...I really did summon you guys. Gramps' grimoire was the real thing..."
Realizing that she had summoned them herself, despite not thinking that she really could do it, Jessica became dumbfounded for a bit.
"Could you make a Mother's Day present?"
"Ah, what a strong love towards your mother I'm feeling. Hey, Zepar! I want to grant this adorable daughter's wish!"
"Same here, Furfur! You know, she's always trying hard for love, isn't she?"
"That's right. After all, she's looking to fulfill forbidden love with a servant. Catching her mother's heart in advance with a mother's day present could be a splendid love strategy!"
"No, no, I wasn't really thinking about it with any deep thoughts like that..."
She had never imagined that these bustling demons would appear.
Jessica was worried about what to get for a mother's day present.Looking for ideas, she was fishing through the library for a suitable book. Seeing Kinzo's grimoire, finding it amusing, and reading it, she found a method to make a request to a demon.Because she had summoned the demons while doing so jokingly and half-heartedly, there was no doubt that Kinzo's blood was flowing strongly through Jessica's veins...
"Hey, Zepar. I wonder if there's a magic item appropriate for Mother's Day?"
"We specialize in romantic love! So the love between a parent and child is a bit out of our area of expertise. But after being called out like this, we can't go without giving something, right?"
"I know! We could grant you a fantastic magical item that could remove even the strongest barriers from love with Kanon-kun!"
"Ah, no, I'm sorry, but ordinary things are just fine. I don't want weird magical items..."
"You can't say that! After all, we're two of the 72 highest demons!"
"It'd be impossible for us to say, 'For calling us, your gift is an ordinary carnation!'"
"No, no, just a plain carnation would be good, yeah, plenty..."
The topic had grown pointlessly grand in scale having summoned these troublesome demons, so Jessica placated them with the proposition of "just a plain carnation".
"Well then, if you don't want big magic, then how about a small magic carnation?"
"Ah, now that you say that, we do have a magical carnation like that, don't we? I think it withers after one day, but during that one day, it sends the partner great blessings!"
"Ah...if it's something like that, it'd be fine, I guess. If it's just a day of magic it won't cause a lot of trouble, and there wouldn't be any chance of curses or anything, would there...?
"It's the magic of gratitude. There aren't any curses or negative powers."
"Only that on worrying, you'll forget any of the blessings."
"But we promise. This magic sends no trouble to the receiver."
"Your mother, who receives the carnation, is given, just for one day, magic protection. That being said, we're demons with the amazing power to satisfactorily grant you this item, so you too should accept it in fear."
Magic carnation...
I don't really get what kind of effect you have, but please, by the power of magic, bestow protection...
Jessica decided to give the carnation to Natsuhi.
"Mom, here...it's a Mother's Day present."
"Ah, a carnation, is it. ...A somewhat strange carnation, isn't it? Is this by any chance a rare or expensive carnation?"
"N..no, well, not really! It's supposed to be some kind of lucky charm, and it gives you, uh, good fortune if you carry it?"
"Is that so? Thank you. I'll take good care of it."
Zepar and Furfur had said that the next day after giving the present, the effect would present itself from morning until evening.
Jessica wasn't sure what kind of effect the magic would have.
She then turned her thoughts for a bit to the fact that tomorrow was a Monday. A school day.
On returning from school, she'd hear if anything good had happened.
The next day, at the school in Niijima:
"Jessiii! Good morning! ...Is something wrong?"
"Ugghhh...Good morning, Sakukaaa...since this morning my head's been hurting..."
"Oh, nooo, Jessi, a hannngover?! Kyahaha!"
"Ugghhh, your screechy laughter is hurting my head..."
"You say your mother always gets headaches, doesn't she? It could be hereditary. What if you shared your mother's medicine?"
Hm? Jessica suddenly remembered breakfast that morning.
That morning, Natsuhi had a completely bright smile on her face.
"You seem to be in good spirits today, Natsuhi."
"Yes. It must be because the weather has grown so calm. As my headaches seem to have also calmed down, I woke up quite comfortably."
Seeing that exchange between her parents, she thought "Ah, that has to be the effects of the magic carnation."
Oh, so it's like that, is it...
Jessica understood the blessings of the magic carnation.
Surely, the carnation was promised to bring protection to the receiver.
But it hadn't been said whether curses or blessings would be given to the "sender".
...I get it. It's a demon's present, after all. It was simply one of those things that was too good to be true.
The magic of that carnation probably worked by substitution.
It removes the headaches from mom and gives them to me.
In other words, mom is released from headaches today, and, instead, I get them for a day...
At first, she thought it was pretty annoying magic.
But thinking along that line, her feelings changed.
Surely she was having a bad time with the headaches, but thanks to that, for just one day, Natsuhi could spend the day pleasantly.
"...well, I guess you can't have something that's too good to be true. This headache is paying my debt to Mom, so just for today I'll live it out."
Jessica decided that somehow, she'd do her best today.
"What was that!? Gyagyaaa!"
"Hey, what the hell are you talking about?! Gyagyaaa!"
"Je, Jessiii! It's a fight! You gotta stop them, you're the student council president~!"
At school Jessica was a popular student. Whenever there were fights she was often called to stop them.
But today, for some reason, there were numerous fights all around, and each timeJessica was called over, making her very busy.
Still, Jessica found herself recalling something.
...now that I think about it, Mom told me about that. When the servants were arguing, she'd watch and arbitrate if it became a fight.
I've probably been burdened with that too, haven't I...?
Today on Rokkenjima, the servants were definitely getting along peacefully without fighting.
Jessica's imagination had been sparked.
At that time, Natsuhi was on Rokkenjima, and, noticing that there wasn't any trouble today, smiling.
"That's why the basketball club is so unfair, right?! Gyagya!!"
"Even if you say that, what about the soccer club!? Gyagya!!"
"So pay the student council fees! Gyagya!!"
"The accounts don't match! Gyagya!!"
"Ehhh! But you said you'd go out with me next week!!"
"Sorry, but work absolutely won't budge on that day..."
Today alone had set a yet-unseen peak in trouble.
Personal troubles, money issues, and even shift problems.
There was absolutely no doubt. All of the usual worries that Natsuhi held had befallen onto Jessica.
As the various issues continued to occur, Jessica unintentionally found herself wondering just what sort of stars her mother had been born under.
But, from shouldering this debt, for just one day, Natsuhi could pass the time in comfort.
That sort of mother's day present wasn't bad, was it...?
Jessica thought so, taking the troubles that should've fallen on her mother, one by one, while enduring a headache, as a challenge.
Rokkenjima main residence. Dinner time
Natsuhi's face was bright and cheerful.
"S, so, Mom. Did something good happen today?"
"Yes. Today was, in all, a good day, almost by fate. It was very peaceful and calm, a lovely day. It must've been because of that good luck carnation you gave me as a present. Thank you very much."
Although today had been a "when it rains it pours" kind of day for Jessica, from her smiling mother's face, she felt that everything had been rewarded.
It would soon be midnight.
The end of Zepar and Furfur's carnation magic.
When midnight arrived, Jessica's headache simultaneously vanished. The carnation magic had expired.
Finally feeling her head cleared, at the same time, Natsuhi was once again afflicted by headaches, and it became a slightly complex feeling.
...it was only for Mother's Day.
That she just for once could carry the burden of Natsuhi's headaches and other torments, it was showing her respect for her mother, wasn't it?
"Hey, Jessica! Although the magic of the carnation is now finished, were you satisfied with it?"
"Natsuhi should've, for just one day, received divine protection."
"Yes, yes! However, I've properly studied the instructions for that magic carnation! You know, the magic of that carnation..."
"I already get it. I, the sender, get all of the misfortune and trouble as a substitute, don't I? Well, things that are too good to be true and all that, the result was that I paid my debt to Mom, so thanks."
"Substitute?"
Zepar and Furfur exchanged glances, puzzled.
"No, that's not it. That carnation's magic is a 'charm'."
"Spiritual magic cuts through all interference to protect for one day. There shouldn't be any effects that shift the trouble to Jessica-chan, but.."
"No, that's not it, right? Mom's headaches were given to me."
Zepar and Furfur exchanged glances once again.
That the magic the demons had granted gave even the smallest bit of a different effect to a human than stated wounded their pride just a little bit.
"Huumu, somehow we're not agreeing, are we?"
"Yeah, this is a disgrace to demons! Let's properly study the magic of the carnation a little bit more!"
"We hang our names on it - we shall absolutely find out the truth!!"
"No, no, it's fine...Thanks to you, I was able to give a little gift for mother's day. Thank you, really, you have my gratitude..."
"No, that's no good!! We hang our pride on it - we'll absolutely investigate it!"
Zepar and Furfur, replying one-sidedly, erased their forms.
Jessica, giving a sigh of relief and shrugging her shoulders, erased the magic circle.
She probably wouldn't see those two bustling demons again.
...For next year's birthday, she resolved to properly and sincerely choose a gift by herself.
What about that herbal tea Rosa-oba-san had been promoting as a good headache treatment...?
And so, Jessica's mother's day ended...
On the other side, Zepar and Furfur were trying their hardest investigating why the magic that had meant only to protect Natsuhihad seemed to bring trouble to Jessica.
As a result...they discovered something strange.
"It seems that Ushiromiya Natsuhi, very long ago, made a contract with some demon somewhere."
"That contract, in the one-day magic of the carnation, was set aside."
"Because Natsuhi seems to suffer from headaches, I wonder if she made some sort of exchange request."
"If that's the case, it should be Natsuhi's problem alone, and it should have nothing to do with Jessica."
"...Certainly! If it's like this, let's thoroughly investigate Natsuhi! Just what did she wish for from what kind of spirit?"
Everybody, do you understand?
Why don't we stop for a bit and turn back the pages with Zepar and Furfur?
There was the figure of Natsuhi, embracing the newborn Jessica.
That was the scene where the contract was made.
"Ah, what a darling daughter. She definitely looks just like you, and she'll grow up to be a beautiful girl!"
"Wouldn't that be nice? But because I get headaches, I worry that she will inherit them..."
While cuddling the baby Jessica, Krauss and Natsuhi pleaded.
"Oh, please, God. Please bless our very own daughter that you've finally granted us. I'm sure that she will also suffer from headaches, won't she? No, just like me, from the very core she'll be wrapped in trouble, and the stars of misfortune will take a liking to her. Please grant this child a healthy, beautiful fate. I will take all of Jessica's headaches and misfortune upon myself..."
Perhaps even in Natsuhi's blood, she was communicating with a noble person who transcended humanity.
Natsuhi's wish, before she'd even realized it...seemed to have become a contract with a higher power.
So, from that day forward - Natsuhi's headaches became the headaches of two people.

fandom.07th-expansion | # Jessica's Mother's Day Present/Summary
Jessica borrows Kinzo’s grimoire and draws a magic circle to summon the demons of love, Zepar and Furfur, so they can help her get a Mother’s Day present for Natsuhi. They immediately agree to help, thinking Jessica has strong love for her mother and that by getting Natsuhi a gift, it’ll make it easier for Jessica to pursue a relationship with Kanon. They think about which magical items to give, but Jessica tries rejecting their offers and just wants a normal carnation; Zepar and Furfur instead offer a small magic carnation that withers after one day and gives protection to the user. They assure that nothing bad will happen to the giver, and Jessica accepts.
Jessica gives the carnation to Natsuhi later, who accepts it with gratitude. The carnation was supposed to take effect the next day after giving it, which would be a Monday; Jessica can go to school and come home to see how it turns out. The next morning, Jessica greets her friends but says she’s suffering from headaches all of a sudden. Her friends ask if Jessica’s mother always had headaches and that it must be hereditary somehow. Jessica then remembers breakfast earlier that morning, where Natsuhi was incredibly happy and refreshed; the carnation must be taking Natsuhi’s troubles and giving them to Jessica. She accepts that this is an effect of a demon’s gift, and it’ll be the perfect way for Jessica to pay her debt to her mother.
Later, fights start breaking out between students at campus. Jessica was the student council president and was popular, often called in to stop fights whenever they happened. But for some reason, fights kept breaking out much more often than normal and focused around money troubles and shift issues. She remembers Natsuhi telling her about how servants often argued, and she’d come in to arbitrate it; another one of Natsuhi’s troubles has been passed on to Jessica, and she thinks the servants on the island must be getting along peacefully now.
At dinnertime, Jessica asks her mother how her day went; Natsuhi replies that it was very calm and peaceful, owing it to the good luck carnation she was given. The carnation was supposed to lose effect at midnight, and Jessica becomes relieved when that time passes and her headaches disappear. Zepar and Furfur return, having studied the instructions for the carnation and revealing it’s true effects, but Jessica says she already knows it takes misfortune and passes it to the giver. The demons are confused, saying the carnation was supposed to be a charm and doesn’t substitute anything; they leave to do more research, and Jessica resolves to pick out a gift by herself next time.
Zepar and Furfur discover that many years ago, Natsuhi had made a contract with some demon that probably involved an exchange and was set aside for one day because of the carnation. They probe some more and come upon the day that the contract was made, where Natsuhi was cradling the newborn Jessica. Natsuhi worries that her daughter will inherit the headaches she has and prays, wishing that Jessica’s misfortune be taken upon her. Natsuhi’s blood as a priestess enabled her to make a contract with some higher being somewhere, and Natsuhi’s headaches became those of two people.

Transcript.
“I’ll make the ending just a little stylish… and… I-I’m done! It’s finiiiiished!”I finally completed it! The script for the play Saku asked me to write!!One day of planning, one day of writing, one day for the final draft, a total of three days and nights spent to produce this masterpiece!
“Hey, Jessie, how do you come up with the song lyrics you’re always writing?”“It’s easy. I just take the songs that well up from my heart and carve them into music! …Why do you ask?”“So in other words, you take stories that bubble up from your heart and turn them into lyrics?”“Yeah, that works too. In other words! I set the stories gushing from my heart aloft on wings of music!”“Right, right! There’s stories in your songs, Jessie! I bet if you if you wrote a story or something, it’d be amazing!”“Ahahaha, yeah, maybe!! If I wrote a story, I’m sure it’d end up being awesome!! …So, what about it?”
…In retrospect, I should have given it more thought before I promised anything.It turned out there was going to be a play at next month’s culture festival. …I had no idea the conversation was going to end in me being asked to write the script with three days left before the deadline….It’s just that I got caught up in the enthusiasm and atmosphere of the moment.I started thinking to myself, “With my heart and good taste, maybe I can do it~”…Come to think of it, Mom warned me about this, didn’t she.“You and your father both have a bad habit of getting caught up in the mood of a situation and agreeing to things. You have to be careful.”……Auuu, I’m sorry, Mom.Anyway.This was the result of the three days and nights of hard labor I’d brought down on myself.I finished up the writing late at night, and flopped into bed with a thud….
“…Fuuaah~….”
How do… you like this…?I slaved over it for three days….I worked without sleeping… so my mind is kinda fuzzy….Damn you, Saku….. You’re gonna pay dearly for this…. *Munya munya*
It’s my first time writing a play script… I’m sure there’s some rough spots here and there.But all of my ideas and humor and heart and love and passion……Well, I cooked a bunch of things together, and mixed in apples and honey at the end, and the result is my big, moving, masterpiece script!It’ll definitely get thunderous applause at the culture festival.Who wrote this wonderful script?Eh, it was Jessie?! Wow, that’s amazing~!
“No, no, it’s…. Well, yes, it is that great, but…. Fuhihi… *Munya munya*”“Hmmm, is it really? Let me have a look.”
…Huh? Who’s that?My head still fuzzy with sleep, I absently turned toward the voice.…It was a young girl I had never seen before, clad in a pink dress.She was standing there munching on popcorn while she read the script I had just finished writing.When she had read it all, she let out a long, delighted cackle.
“Kya-hahahahaha!! This is hilarious. Especially the punchline, that was the best! Kya-hahahahaha!”“Th-Thanks…. *Munya munya*”……That’s weird. Did I really put in a punchline that would make someone roar with laughter like that?Well, whatever. I don’t know who this girl is, but she did praise me….That means the play will definitely become famous.It’ll definitely, certainly be a huge hit, without a doubt….
“Hmmmm. ‘It’ll certainly be a hit,’ you say. You’re confident about that, huh?”“…If I wasn’t, I wouldn’t have started writing it in the first place. …*Munya munya* …Definitely, certainly.”“‘Certainly’?”“Definitely, certainly.”“…Very well. If this script was written with absolute certainty of its success, then I, the Witch of Certainty, Lambdadelta-sama, will bestow the magic of certainty upon it!”“…The hell’s that? …Sounds fishy…. *Munya munya*”“Hey! How dare you call it fishy! The magic I’m casting on this script is really amazing, okay?! It’s like, this script will actually…”
The childish girl in pink was boasting about something, but… My consciousness was fading in and out, and I couldn’t understand anything.My awareness left me completely, and my soul began to sink into my fluffy feather futon and memory foam pillow…….
The next morning, as soon as I woke up, I dashed over to the guesthouse as fast as I could, barely able to control my impatience.Battler was visiting the mansion for the first time in forever, and I wanted to have him read “the work I had certain confidence in.”Shannon happened to be there as well, so I took the opportunity to capture her and made both of them read it.
“Wow, you wrote a play script, Jessica? Huh!“You’re amazing, Milady. You can do anything.”“No, no, not at all. It was my first time, and I only had three days, so it was a pretty close fight. Ehehe….”“But in spite of that, it’s a great masterpiece that you have full confidence in.”“*Giggle* So you want the two of us to read this script and give you our impressions, right?”“It’d be kinda dry if we just read it. Wouldn’t it be better if we actually tried acting it out?!”“Eh?!?! I-I’ve never, um, done any acting before, and…!”“Man, that’s a great idea. If you guys actually perform it for me, I can watch and do a final check on it too.”“In that case, it’s decided! Let’s do it, Shannon-chan! Or maybe you’re uncomfortable being my co-star?”“N-N-Not at all. I-I humbly accept your request……”
And there we were.It was sudden, but the first performance of my script was decided on.With a red pen in one hand, I put on airs of being a scriptwriter.
“Hey! There’s a prince in this! Okay, I’ll be the prince then!”“Then I’ll be in charge of the narrator and the princess.”“Right, let’s get started. Your narration is up first, Shannon-chan!”“Th-Then… I’ll begin. …Ahem.”
With that, Shannon walked forward and began to read the narration that marked the beginning of the story….
“This is a tale of a place deep in the world of fairy tales…. In this land, there was a country called Rokken Kingdom.”“Rokken Kingdom is a pretty simplistic name.”“Quiet, Battler. Not during the performance!”“Deep in the mountains of Rokken Kingdom, there was a tall, tall tower, and in that tower, a princess was imprisoned……. Eh?”
“Wh-What’s going on…?!”“What on earth…?”
As Shannon began to read the narration.The scenery around her and Battler… began to warp lazily, making a sound like the rumbling of the earth.The scenery outside completely changed to that of a mountain range, and from among the mountains, accompanied by a loud rumble… impossibly, a tower was emerging!Yes, a tower.Not a bamboo shoot. It really was a tower.It was just like something you’d see in a fairy tale illustration, made of stone and giving an impression of dignified strength…. A-Anyway, it was a tower.…A tower, in the mountains.“This is…. Your narration just now came true…?”“M-Milady…. What on earth is this…?”“……Th-That reminds me…. Last night, I sort of remember having a weird dream…. Something about magic being cast on my script…. But no, that’s ridiculous….”“Heheh, interesting. Why not, full points for stage presence! Let’s keep going!”“…Mi-Milady? Is it alright to keep going?”“W-We can’t stop now. Being a woman is all about guts! Go ahead, Shannon, take it away!”“R-Right. …Um…. The tower was surrounded by a dense jungle.”“Whoa, this time a jungle popped up!! Awesome, it’s awesome!! What’s next?!”“Th-The jungle was inhabited by a band of goblins, who… attacked the prince and his men….”“……A band of…. Wait, what?”
…*rumble*… …*rumble ruMBLE RUMBLE*…The low rumbling of the ground was gradually growing both louder and closer.The jungle shook, and colorful birds cried as they took flight.
“…Uh, hahaha. I thought it’d be interesting if there was a climax right away, or something like that….”“And I’m gonna wipe out those goblins with no sweat, right? Right?!”“…I-In the script… it says you’re attacked by the goblins and m-meet a terrible fate.”“W-Well, look. In this situation, you’d expect the prince to win. That’d be boring, right…?”“The prince who's gonna meet with that terrible fate is me!! And what kind of terrible fate?! It doesn’t say in the script!”
While this argument was occurring, the rumbling continued to grow closer.*RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE*!!!!
“Hieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!”
A large herd of goats was plowing through the jungle, straight toward us!I say goats, but they weren’t running on four legs.They were each wearing something like a black tailcoat and running on two legs like a person.Every single one of them was excessively muscular, and gave off a horrible stench of manly sweat!!But even more frightening than that were their flaming red eyes and messily drooling mouths!
“L-Let’s run away!! Battler-sama, Milady!!”“We’re gonna get crushed underfoot!! Even before that terrible fate shows up!! Come on, Jessica, hurry!!”“I-I am hurrying… …Uwah!!”
My foot snagged on the root of a suspicious-looking tropical plant.I barely had time to think “Ah” before I had toppled to the ground.“S-Stupid— Jessicaaaaaaaa!!”“Miladyyyyyyyyy!!”
The huge herd of goats swarmed toward me, and were on the verge of swallowing me up.Even if there weren’t a whole herd of them, a single one of those huge bodies would probably be enough to crush me as flat as a pancake.…Who ever heard of a scriptwriter being killed by their own script?G-Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaah…!!! ……….Eh?
At that moment, a miracle occurred.For some reason, the goats all simultaneously burst open… and, for some reason, changed into an infinite number of soap bubbles.I was left standing in a fantastical storm of soap bubbles.With a *pop*, *pop*, *pop*, I was soon covered in a soapy film.What… the hell….
In Shannon’s hands, I saw the red pen and script I’d dropped when I fell down.Basically, in a moment of quick-wittedness, she had amended the script so that “the goats turned into soap bubbles and disappeared.”“Nice, Shannon-chan.”“I’m honored that I could be of service….”“But… man, what the hell…. We should still be in the guesthouse, right? But this is totally some kind of jungle, right? It’s a tropical forest, it’s a fantasy, right?! We’ve been sucked into the world of the script!”“…Perhaps this is Lady Beatrice’s magic….”“That dream…. Maybe it wasn’t a dream. ……That suspicious pink witch cast a weird spell on my script….”“Jessica. Just for future reference. What’s going to happen next in this story?”“Um, let’s see…. It’s an adventure story full of twists and turns, and there’s lots of, uh… I mixed in some apples and honey and let it simmer…. Listen, I pretty much wrote without sleeping for three days, okay?! My head’s all fuzzy, but I still made it by the deadline! That’s why, um, um!!”“……In other words, you don’t remember much of what happens in the story either, Milady…?”“S-Sorry….”
If we turned the pages of the script, the “story” would progress.At any rate. We discussed various ways of escaping from this jungle… no, from this story, and tried putting them into practice.First, we tried physically destroying the script.…It seemed that it was protected by magic or something, and no matter how much we stomped on it or kicked it, we couldn’t even put a crease in it.Next, we tried writing “The End” at the bottom of the current page.At that point, the letters disappeared by themselves, and a different message in red ink rose into view: “Unless it is performed to completion, the story will certainly not be ended.”We tried various other experiments… but they were all useless.Escaping this place by ignoring the rest of story was impossible.
“Isn’t that obvious? It’s a script of certainty with my magic of certainty cast on it, right? So it certainly can’t end in the middle!”“Ah… Ahhhhhh!! You’re that witch who showed up in my dream!”“Hi☆ Are you enjoying my magic? Ow! …Did you just hit me, Battler?! You hit me, the Witch of Certainty, Lambdadelta-chan-sama?!”“If it’s your fault, then that makes things simple! Hurry up and end this crazy world!”“No can do. After all, at this point I’m just an observer. The one spinning this story is Jessica. So even I can’t make the story end.”“That’s so damned irresponsible!!”“Who’s the one who wrote this irresponsible script?!”“A…Anyway. What you’re saying is that we have no choice but to perform it all the way to the end, right?”“You got it. Okay, good luck~! I’m off to get some popcorn.”
Lambdadelta vanished from sight.…We had a pretty good idea of the situation now.No way out. No choice but to go forward.
“But we do have a weapon….”“We’ll have to rely on that red pen of Jessica’s, huh?”
The story would develop as written in the script.However, it seemed that by amending it right away with the red pen, we could alter the story one page at a time.We had no choice but to proceed.…Even though we were afraid of what awaited us.At any rate, I had written it while half-asleep, letting my pen be guided by my heart.Even I couldn’t fully remember how the story would develop.
“Let’s perform it, then!! I’m the one who wrote it, so I’m sure it’ll have a happy ending!!”“…It’s kinda worrying that person who wrote it can’t remember it.”“L-Let’s just do our best….”“Okay. …Shannon. Go ahead with the next bit of narration.”Shannon prepared herself for the worst, and turned the page.
“Emerging from the dense jungle, the prince found himself in a snowy country.”The jungle vanished without a trace… and we found ourselves surrounded by a vast snowfield.A pristine snowfield, without a single footprint on it.We could see glaciers in the distance, and an aurora glittered in the sky. It was a wondrous scene….
“…*Whistle* …This is some pretty awesome scenery….”“Rather than just a snowy country… it seems more like the North Pole, doesn’t it?”“Uwah!! Brrrrr!! Was it really necessary to reproduce the temperature?!”“C-Coooooooooollld!!!”“I-I’m the prince, aren’t I? Somebody bring me a warm coat!! Dammit, so what’s happening in the script now?!”“L-Let’s see…. It says that the prince, who was on the verge of freezing to death… was attacked by a yeti, and met with a terrible fate….”
“AGAIN?!?! Jessicaaaaaaaaa! Do you have some kind of grudge against princes or something?!”“N-No, it’s, um! …Saku pushed this awful job off on me, so I was kinda pissed at her, and then I heard she was gonna play the role of the prince, so, yeah, um… ihihi~!”“Rooooaaaaaaar—————!!!!”“Ugyaaaaa, it’s the yeti——!!”*BOOM, BOOM*!! With a crash, the yeti swung an enormous club the size of a log!!Uwah, Battler, look ouuuuuuuuut!!Wait, this is no time to stand around looking surprised! Gotta revise the scenario!!
“Suddenly, the yeti mended its ways, and befriended the prince and his men!!”“Rooooaaaaaaa——— ….?! *Cough cough*!!”“Thank goodness…. That was close….”“But now this guy’s being too friendly. Hey, my hair’s gonna get messed up, so stop patting me on the head. …A banana? No thanks. Where did you even get that from, anyway?”“Milady, let’s write a bit more and make Mr. Yeti our guide.”“Good idea…. If we don’t hurry up and get out of here, we’re gonna end up as popsicles…!!”
And so.The prince and his men, having befriended the yeti, were guided safely out of the snowy countryside….The next rough spot was a volcanic region covered with boiling magma….
“Wh-What the hell kind of scenario is this?! How were you planning to perform this at a culture festival?!”“How should I know?! Ask whoever’s in charge of the scenery!!”“And in the volcanic region, a dragon with massive wings attacked them, breathing flames from its mouth….”“”Ugyaaaaaa—————!!!!””
“And in the cursed graveyard, they were attacked by a countless number of zombies….”“”Gyawawa—————!!!!””“In the deserts of hell, a giant poisonous scorpion raised its tail high….”““Dohieeeee—————!!!!””“In the demons’ swamp, hordes of bloodsucking leeches attacked, one after the other….”“”Oh for God’s sake———!!!!”
“Milady, hurry!!”“H-However, the prince and his men were protected by a magical barrier, and remained unharmed…. There….. *Huff, puff*!”“Barely made it at the last second again…. Geez… I’m wiped out….”
The prince and his men had suffered many hardships, and were now wiped out.And now the stage had returned once again to the jungle….When they managed to push their way through the dense thickets of tropical plants….
“I-It’s the tower! We finally made it to the princess’s tower!!”“S-So I’ll finally get to play the role of the princess…!”“But before that, if I remember correctly, the strongest and most terrible sorcerer is going to appear, and he’ll be the final enemy standing in our way…!”At the summit of the tower, there was a human figure.He was wearing a large, jet-black cloak, and his silhouette had an imposing presence.This was surely… the one who had kidnapped the princess and locked her in the tower, the strongest and most terrible sorcerer….“Do it, Jessica!!”“I’ve got the hang of this now!! …The great sorcerer leapt nimbly from the tower!”The great sorcerer leapt nimbly from the tower, directing his fall toward the prince and his men.“And just like that, he crashed to the ground and died!!”And just like that, he crashed to the ground and died….“Bwahahahahahaha!! What the hell, what the hell, that’s hilarious, ahyahyahyahya!!”
Lambdadelta had appeared when we weren’t looking, and was clutching her stomach and laughing uproariously.“But that’s the end of your trouble-filled journey, huh. Okay, time for the emotional finale!”“We don’t need you to tell us that! Shannon-chan, you’re the princess! Jessica, take care of the narration!!”“B… Battler-san.”“…I’m the prince right now.”“To be honest, there was originally supposed to be a kiss here, but I figured it’d be lewd, so I cut it and just had them live happily ever after. All’s well that ends well.”“Ehhh, why’d you do that? I wanted to see Battler and Shannon’s kissing scene~. Well, whatever. That funny punchline is coming up next anyway.”“Punchline? There isn’t any punchline. The story’s already over, see…?”
It was true. Jessica’s script had ended there.There was no punchline. The prince rescued the princess, happy ending. …Supposedly.And yet, Lambdadelta licked her lips, and gave them a cold smirk.
“…It’s over, Lambdadelta! Let us go already!”“You know what? I’d really like to do that too, okay? …But there’s still a punchline waiting for you.”“A… punchline…?”“Yes, that’s right. Punch-line. …The whole reason I gave this script magic was because that caught my interest. Hey, Bern, are you watching?! The good bit’s about to start!!”
Bernkastel’s figure appeared floating in the air, still in the middle of a yawn.“I’ve been watching it. This whole boring play. …So? Does this thing really have an ending that’ll amuse me…?”“Yes, of course. I guarantee it.”“…It’s stimulating enough to blow away my drowsiness?”“*Giggle giggle giggle*. That’s right, Bern~. …The stimulating climax is just about to start.”“…Oy. Sorry to interrupt, but… my script is all finished now. There’s no climax written anywhere. See?”“*Giggle giggle giggle giggle*.”“Ahahahahaaahaahaahahahahahahaha!!!”
With evil in their eyes, the Witches of Certainty and Miracles convulsed with laughter.At that moment, the earth shuddered and cracked open. …What the— An earthquake?!?!
Rumble rumble*, *rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble*!!!
The tower crumbled away… leaving in its place a gaping, crater-like hole.…Where did that hole come from?When we looked into its depths… everyone was struck speechless.A vast, howling whirlwind.No…. An electric… fan…?“What the hell is that?!?!?!”“There’s a huge electric fan spinning away at the bottom of the hole…?!”The enormous fan was rotating at an incredible speed, and every time a crag crumbled away in the depths of the hole, it was smashed up and reduced to tiny pieces by the blades.It was a huge, enormous… killer electric fan!!“L-Look out!! Kyaah!!!”Cracks continued to open up in the earth, and everything began to collapse into the ever-widening hole, as if it were all being devoured by the fan!If we didn’t get out of there fast… we’d end up falling into that hole too!!
“This place is collapsing too! Jessica, Shannon-chan! Run for it, hurry!!!”“Battler-sama! Look out!!”“Whoa?! Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!”The earth yawned wider, and Battler was swallowed up.Shannon just barely managed to grab hold of his arm… but she too was dragged into the hole, leaving her dangling by one arm from the edge….“Battleeeeeeer!! Shannooooooon!!”“…L-Let go of my arm and climb up, Shannon-chan!!”“I-I can’t…! If I do that… you’ll…!!”One of Battler’s shoes slipped off and tumbled into the abyss.It was sucked into the fan, torn to pieces, and scattered….
“Let go of my arm…! At this rate, we’re both gonna die!!”“…I can’t obey that order!!”“Shannon, hold on…!! I’m coming to pull you up!! …Ahhh!!”
Another huge fissure appeared in the earth, and Jessica found herself separated from the others.The other two were in trouble, but she couldn’t even go and help them…!!“Battleeeeer! Shannooooooon! Goddammiiiiiiiiiiiiit!!”“Aaahahahahahaha, aaahahahahahahahahahaha!!”Looking down on Jessica, crying out in despair… Bernkastel sneered.“Not a bad climax at all. …Since I get to see Battler and Shannon be turned into hamburger. Jessica will go the same way, right? …Not bad. It’s a fine punchline.”“Isn’t it? *Giggle giggle*. I love you, Bern. …Because I know exactly what kinds of stories you love the most.”“Screw you!! How dare you turn my script into something this horrible!!”“Horrible or not, you’re the one who wrote it, you know.”“I didn’t write anything like this!!”“You wrote all that messed-up stuff earlier, though.”It was true, everything before now had been her work.That’s why she’d revised it.But she hadn’t written anything at all about this killer electric fan to begin with.
Jessica tried over and over to write about Battler and Shannon being saved, but the letters just vanished, as if they had been written on a sandy beach and then washed away by the waves.“What’s going on?! Why can’t I revise it?! Damn iiiiiiiit!!”Shannon’s grip on Battler was growing weaker by the moment….
“The electric fan stopped!” No good!!“The two were miraculously saved!” Still no good?!“This story ended and we were saved!” …Why isn’t anything working?!“Why?! After everything else I wrote before, why can’t I write anything this time?!”“Well, the story’s already over, right? You can only make revisions within the story.”“It’s impossible to revise anything outside the story.”“”*Giggle giggle giggle giggle giggle!””“Dammit to hell!! Are you saying this horrible punchline is the climax of the story?! …You damned witches!! How dare you, how dare you screw up my script… and make everyone suffer like this?!”“The one wrote this whole screwed-up script was you, wasn’t it?”“…Even this gruesome bad end, okay? *Giggle giggle giggle*.”“I did not! I never wrote anything like… like everyone being swallowed up by this killer electric fan and dying!!”“Oh, is that so?”“…And here we were, just trying to explain things to you so you wouldn’t be made a laughingstock. Pity.”“This girl’s pretty Paper-ish. She probably doesn’t understand.”“Looks that way. …*Giggle giggle giggle giggle*.”
“…Battler-san… I’m sorry…. My arm is… about to….”“…It’s fine…. Hurry up and let me go…. And then climb up, and don’t look back…!”“I won’t go survive by myself…! …If you’re going to die… I’m going with you!!”“Don’t be stupid, you have to live!!”“You’re the prince who came to save me, aren’t you?! I don’t want to be alone anymore…!!”One by one… Shannon’s fingers, clutching at the face of the cliff… began to lose their grip….…It was all…… useless…….“Aaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!”Shannon and Battler tumbled downward toward hell.In the moment of free fall before they were sucked into the killer electric fan… they embraced each other tightly.So that at the very least, they would be able to meet their ends together.The two steeled themselves, shutting their eyes tightly….
THUMP*!!*
“…Eh?”“What?!”They weren’t in hell, nor were they in the middle of the killer electric fan.…They were on a bed in the guesthouse.For a moment, they sat there holding each tightly in amazement.“…Was… Was that a dream?”“No. …There’s no way it was a dream.”Their bodies were still covered with scratches from the cliff face they had been scraped against just a few moments earlier.That great adventure in which they’d risked their lives really had happened.…The fact that they’d returned to their own world… meant that the story had safely reached its “ending”.It was clear that Jessica had managed to end the story with some kind of revision.…But Jessica was nowhere to be seen.
As for Jessica….She was in front of the writing desk in her own room.Lying on the desk were the script and the red pen.Jessica had collapsed on top of them.Lambdadelta and Bernkastel were standing on opposite sides of her.At the very last moment, she had managed to revise one single line.Because of that, the story had ended, and Battler and Shannon had been saved.
But… saved how?Jessica hadn’t written anything about that huge electric fan in the first place.No matter how many times she’d tried to revise it, the change hadn’t been accepted because the story was already over.However, Jessica had definitely made a revision.She had changed one single character.…So in other words…?
“*Giggle giggle*. Good for you. Now you won’t be made a laughingstock.”“Y… Yeah. …Thank you very much.”Jessica, who was still slumped over the desk, timidly raised her head.Her face was bright red with embarrassment.“Since I’m Paper, I’m in no position to be saying this, but…. When you try to look cool by using English words, you should really make sure that you’ve spelled them right.”“……By the way. FIN is actually a French word.”“Y-Yeah…. …I thought something was off about it….”“You just miswrote it because you were sleepy, right?”“…No, um…… ahahahahahahaha….”
She’d thought it would be cool to write <FIN> at the end of the story.…But she was far too embarrassed to ever tell anyone that she’d ended up writing <FAN> by mistake.
“…You just miswrote it because you were sleepy, right?”“Of…. Of course…. …Ihi… ihihihihihi.”

Transcript.
“Our hearts are magnanimous!”
“Even if the magic summoning circle that’s called us so
often is a bit different this time, we don’t mind~!”
“Love’s power is great!”
“H-hey… Who would’ve thought I’d be bothering you two again…”
Jessica had once again used Kinzo’s grimoire to summon those
two demons.
“Magic to make amends with a friend you’ve quarreled with?”
“Is that friend a boy? Or a girl?”
“…If it is a girl, so what?”
“Ah~ splendid, wonderful! The forbidden love between
maidens!”
“Even if it isn’t normal love,”
“As long as the two lovers believe, it is true!”
“We’ll definitely be cheering for you!”
“No no no. It’s not like that, really…!”
“Aww, are they just regular friends? Is it friendship?”
“That would be far too boring. It’s a bit outside of our
expertise, isn’t it?”
“But, if we’re making her love bear fruit, it’s important to
add someone to support her!”
That’s right! Her love is for a servant, Kanon-kun’s
forbidden love! Adding a supporter is the first step toward great romance!
No, no, Saku and Kanon-kun have absolutely nothing to do
with each other…
Asking those two suspicious demons for help again really
wasn’t a great idea, was it?
Jessica could only scratch her head, and the demons began to
grow bored.
I have no choice.
Jessica decided to try to negotiate with the demons.
A few days ago at the Shinma school, Jessica had quarreled
with her friend Saku over something trivial.
It was only a tiny difference in opinion, a truly
meaningless fight. If both sides had only made concessions, then everything
could have been laughed off.
But the chance to apologize had passed, and the awkward
atmosphere between the two had already lasted a week.
Jessica and Saku each believed that she had been right, and thus
neither planned on apologizing.
But each thought that if the other apologized, she would
forgive her.
At this rate, the two would never reconcile.
Just as she was agonizing over whether there was a chance to
make up, she’d remembered the creepy grimoire Kinzo kept in his library.
If it’s that’s mystical two-demon team summoned by the
grimoire, maybe they can give me some useful magic. Just like that time with
the Mother’s Day gift.
As the first step towards reaching the love between you and
Kanon-kun. Although it’s something really easy,
“The first step in the great strategy of love must be bold yet
cautious! We shall bestow upon you the ultimate reconciliation magic. Besides
making Saku reconcile with you, she’ll also become a dependable companion,
someone who will greatly support your love!”
From a magical fourth-dimensional pocket, the two demons
elegantly took out one suspicious, probably-cursed prop after another and
arranged them before her.
“No, um! I don’t need those things… Anyway, making up the
normal way is fine.”
“No way! We’re one of the 72 great demons!”
“You called us, so if we only help you and your friend
reconcile, it’d be too boring!”
“…So I really was dumb to ask demons for help. This
summoning doesn’t count. Good work, you two. You can go back now…”
“Hahahahaha! That can’t be done!”
“We, Zepar and Furfur, have been summoned! Being dismissed
without fulfilling your wish would be inexcusable!”
“Since we’ve been summoned, we absolutely must grant your
wish!”
“…I appreciate the thought. I get the feeling this topic’s
going somewhere strange.”
“It looks like the master who summoned us was really hoping
for a charm.”
“That’s what I’ve been thinking from the beginning… Anyway, just
a little charm is enough. Or you can just tell me the spell.”
“Our vast magical power can’t be transformed into weak
magic.”
“In that case, I guess we have to tell you the spell. We’ll
lend you the spell’s grimoire, how about that? “
“The spell’s grimoire…?”
“This grimoire’s really great! It’s perfect for beginners,
with all kinds of simple magic recorded inside.”
“Even though the effects of the magic are small, since it’s
simple, anyone can use it!”
“That book has magic that can make friends reconcile?”
“Of course! Other kinds include, magic that can make a
friend stub their toe on a wardrobe, magic that’s guaranteed to anger the
teacher when a friend dozes off, all kinds of different magic!”
“…That’s OK, I just need reconciling magic.”
Magic to make up with a friend, it’s on this page.
“Oh, if it’s this kind of magic, even I can do it. It’s
like, the spells in girls’ magazines.”
“Of course. That’s because the spells in girls’ magazines
were all copied from us demons’ grimoire.”
“Oh, is that so, I didn’t know… So I shouldn’t make fun of
girls’ magazines, huh… Next time I’ll read more carefully. Although, can
someone without magic experience like me even use spells?“
“No problem. Because the most important part of magic is
believing!”
“The power of belief has magic. This grimoire was written to
help beginners take their first steps in the world of magic. As long as you put
in effort, it can work for anybody!”
“Ha…ha… I get it. I’ll try. Thanks, you two.”
“Bye-bye, and good luck!”
“We’ll be praying for you and hoping the reconciliation with
your friend goes smoothly!”
When the demons disappeared, they left behind a grimoire.
…Even though this feels kind of sketchy, it might be worth a
shot.
“Uh… A spell to reconcile with a friend… Let me see. Take
your socks and… huh? What the heck is this?”
<A spell to reconcile with a friend>
First, concentrate on imagining the person you want to
reconcile with, then take your socks and wear them inside out! Then, take some
candy you often eat and sneakily give it to that person!
You must not let anyone else know about this! It is a secret
between you two.
In this way, the magic’s power will attract the two people
to each other again, repairing their friendship that was growing distant!
“…Sure I can do it but,… what the heck is this?”
Although, spells are like that.
As soon as you doubt them, they’ll fail.
Just now the demons told me that the power of my belief will
turn into magical power.
If I can make up with Saku this way, that’s easy. Tomorrow,
I’ll try it right away.
The next day at school.
“Saku-… Uh, could you come over for a sec?”
“What is it-?”
The candy has to be sneakily given to the person without
anyone noticing.
I’ll call Saku to the corner of the hallway, without anyone
else seeing, and then stealthily….
“What’s this?”
“Um, ah…It’s candy. For you. Uh, don’t think too much about
it, just take it.”
“Is, is that so…? Thank you.”
Like it said in the grimoire, wear your socks inside out.
And I secretly gave the candy to her.
So, the spell’s effects….
“That’s right, Jessie. About before, sorry. I was a bit too
harsh…”
“Sa-Saku! What, what are you talking about? I was the one
asking to start a fight, I should be apologizing…!”
The results really were instantaneous!
Saku brought up making up with me herself.
The rest is simple.
Both parties want to reconcile. The friendship will recover
very soon.
“And thank you for the candy! It looks really yummy!”
“Uh-huh! I brought lots of candy, so let’s share it!”
“Yay~! …Wait? Now that I’m looking closer at your socks,
aren’t they backwards?”
“Ah… ah haha… Because I left in such a hurry, I didn’t
notice…”
“Hey, Jessie, you’re really something else!~ Hahahaha!”
Everything went smoothly.
As expected, the grimoire borrowed from the demons seemed to
be the real thing.
Speaking of which, there were a lot of other spells in that
book.
I wonder what kind of effects they have.
Now I want to try out the other spells…
“Hey~ There’s all kinds of spells here.”
At night. Jessica was still sprawled on the bed, flipping
through the pages of the grimoire, finding a number of spells that interested
her.
And then on a certain page, Jessica’s finger stopped…
“Huh? Magic to make you dream of the person you like…?”
That’s magic every young girl’s interested in.
Girls Jessica’s age. Not one would be disinterested in this
kind of magic.
How wonderful it would be if you could control your own
dreams.
And what’s more, dream of the person you like. That really
is the best possible thing.
“This, this kind of simple spell, can it really make
Kanon-kun appear in my dreams? Ne-never mind. Let’s assume I’ve been tricked
and try it out! Uh, let me see…?”
“Take some rose petals and wrap them in a handkerchief you
often use, let it absorb some moonlight, then put it under your pillow…”
“And then, take this and put it under the pillow, and think
of Kanon-kun while burrowing under the covers.”
Looking at it, it seemed ridiculous.
But, thanks to that spell, I was able to make up with Saku.
If that wasn’t a coincidence, but rather the spell’s
power…this time will definitely work too…
“Alright, bring it, Kanon-kun! Come to my dreams!”
After announcing her resolve, she turned off the lights and
went straight to sleep.
So, will Kanon-kun appear in Jessica’s dreams…?
Chirp-chirp!
A sparrow’s calls woke Jessica.
“Huh…? A dream…?”
Jessica hugged her pillow in a daze, momentarily unable to
distinguish dreams and reality.
“What…what a powerful spell. Hihi------!!”
Jessica, whose face was bright red, buried her face in the
blankets in embarrassment. She had had a wonderful dream. So wonderful that she
hadn’t wanted to wake up.
She and Kannon-kun had shared red tea that Shannon prepared
and cookies that Kumasawa-san baked, and chatted about music they liked, as
well as about life at school.
Even though it was that kind of dream, Kanon-kun had smiled
and followed along with the subjects Jessica discussed elatedly.
Even though that was all the dream was, it really was
wonderful and had made her extremely happy.
Head buried under the blanket, Jessica recalled that happy
dream and smiled bashfully.
“Speaking of which, that grimoire was suuuper powerful!”
“That’s obvious. After all, it’s the book we lent to you!”
“A heart in love has magical power. You’re already a
remarkable witch of love.”
“Hey, woah?! When did you get here?!”
She should have been talking to herself, but when she
snapped out of it she noticed Zepar and Furfur were already there.
“No, you’ve got it wrong, this is, um…! I saw a spell that
looked interesting – no, without realizing I…!”
“We have no intention of blaming you! Because, a young girl
in love had a good dream!”
“We are demons who oversee love! Even though fixing
friendships is boring, if it’s about dreaming about a lover, that kind of
bittersweet wish, we welcome it!”
“Sorry about that…hahaha… Thanks for your grimoire. It
helped me out a lot. Not only did it allow to make up with Saku, but, hehe,
this morning I also had a great dream.”
“Aw, is that all? Is that enough spells already?”
“Uh, uh-huh~ If you say it like that…a-actually I want to
use it one last time.”
“Aha. What kind of spell is it then?!”
“A girl invites a boy she loves from the shadows to her
dreams. What will be her next wish?”
“Ohoho, it’s that of course! I know, Jessica-chan!”
It seemed the demons had long foreseen this development.
“We’ll leave the grimoire with you for safekeeping, then.”
“No matter if it’s us, or the grimoire, if it’s used by a
girl in love, the magic will be even more powerful.”
“This time we hope that the person Jessica likes will have a
good dream…!”
“Ah, ahahahahahaha…”
As expected, they saw through me completely.
Jessica found the spell she wanted to try for the last time.
That was –
“Ah, found it. …It’s this. A spell to make the opposite
party dream of you…”
That’s right. That was a spell to completely opposite the
spell from last night.
Rather than causing the opposite party to appear in your
dreams, it made you appear in theirs.
“Even if it’s the completely wooden Kanon-kun, if he dreams
about me, it’s impossible he wouldn’t feel something, right…? …He might say,
‘could this be love’! Weeeee--”
If it’s for this kind of purpose, Zepar and Furfur should be
satisfied.
Then let’s start right away!
<A spell to make the opposite party dream of you>
“Let me see…? Um…”
Drop three drops of water on the pillow, chant the spell,
then jump up and down on the spot three times.
Then, he should dream of you!
The person you have a secret crush on will also develop
feelings for you.
“That’s strangely simple. Like this, Kanon-kun will dream of
me… Hihihihihi~”
Jessica laughed like an idiot.
It’ll definitely work.
I’ll go see Kanon-kun first thing tomorrow…
“Mo-morning! Kanon-kun!”
“Milady. Good morning. You’re up quite early today.”
“Not, not really, even I get up early once in a while.
Ahahahaha… But anyway, Kanon-kun. …Yesterday night, did you dream about
anything…?”
By Kanon-kun’s personality, it’s not likely he’ll tell me
straight up front that he dreamed about me.
…If he blushes a little, looks to the side, and says, “Not,
not really…” I’ll be really happy! Hehe.
“I didn’t dream of anything in particular.”
“Huh? Nothing in particular? Are you sure? You should
definitely have dreamt about something. Try remembering, really remembering…!”
“If I really had to say…it would be a grey landscape. Like
television static. …That was all I dreamed of… What is it?”
“Huh~~? That’s, that’s weird.”
I followed the spell’s instructions to the letter. Why?
All the spells up until now succeeded, so why is this one different?
And it had to be this spell, too, I was really looking
forward to the results. Such a shame.
“Milady, may I ask what’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing! Nothing at all! Aahahaha…!”
Was it because I didn’t believe strongly enough?!
No way, my heart is filled with nothing but Kanon-kun!
“Hey, Jessica! How did it go, did you appear in Kanon-kun’s
dreams?”
“The power of your love is very strong. It can definitely
make Kanon-kun have a good dream.”
“It wasn’t enough. It didn’t go like you said at all--. This
grimoire couldn’t be defective, could it? Ugh, so annoying.”
“No effect? Impossible!!”
The two demons were stunned.
Seeing them so shocked, Jessica felt really unsatisfied.
“Yeah, that’s right, the spell didn’t work. Kanon-kun didn’t
dream about me at all, he said he only dreamed about stuff like TV static.”
“Is that kind of thing even possible?!”
“It’s not! I’m thinking you must have followed the spell’s
instructions wrong.”
“It’s not possible I messed up. When I used the spell, I
followed the instructions completely. Drop three drops of water on the pillow,
chant the spell, then jump up and down on the spot three times. Look, the spell
is just what the witch in the illustration is chanting. <Orihsot, Orihsot>”
“Who is <Toshiro>?”
“Huh? Why are you asking that all of a sudden? I was just
about to ask you. Who the heck is <Toshiro>?! …Huh? I feel like I’ve
heard that name somewhere.”
“Ah~ I know why the spell went wrong!”
“Jessica. It looks like you’re not in the habit of reading instruction
manuals.”
“That’s because I don’t like reading lots of words. …What? Did
I mess up somewhere?”
“That. The spell that the witch in the picture’s chanting,
it’s just an example.”
“It’s written really clearly here. Take the name of the
person you like and say it backwards!”
“Huh? Take the name of the person you like and say it
backwards?! It wasn’t chanting <Orihsot, Orihsot>?!”
“That’s what I was saying, <Orihsot> is an example for
if the name of the person you like is <Toshiro>”
“For you, Jessica, it would be <Nonak, Nonak> right?
It’s a bit difficult backwards, huh?”
“What? So that’s how it was!! I’ve been tricked!!”
“You weren’t tricked, you weren’t tricked.”
Jessica was very disappointed.
Do you want to try again? Hearing the two of them ask,
Jessica shook her head.
I want to use my own power, not a spell, to make myself
appear in Kanon-kun’s dreams.
“Instead of Kanon-kun starting to like me because of a
dream, I’d rather him dream of me because he likes me. That would make me
happier. …You can’t take shortcuts in romance! I need to try my best!”
“Even though you just denied our very reason to exist
without blinking,”
“Jessica, it looks like you’re full of determination! We’ll
be cheering for you!”
And so the two demons disappeared.
Jessica, good luck!
Hopefully you’ll be able to quickly seize Kanon-kun’s heart,
and make yourself appear in his dreams…!
At that moment, in the kitchen.
“Toshiro” Gohda was in the midst of being perplexed.
“Last night’s dream…what in the world was that…”
Somehow he’d dreamed of the young lady having her way with
him.
And what’s more it was a dream about the two of them talking
about themselves, going to the southern islands together for a vacation…!
Gohda-san, can I call you Toshiro-san…?
No, no no, you mustn’t, Milady!
I’m a servant! That kind of relationship is far too unpalatable,
umm, ah, Milady, please don’t grab my hand! Milady’s full breasts are like exquisite
cantaloupes, ah, ihhhhh~!!!
Gohda was still single. Although he’d already decided to walk
the harsh path of fine cuisine, perhaps even he had days when he could be
seduced by womanly charm…
Dizzied by the forbidden love between master and servant,
today he decided to stay on the path of cuisine…
That night the dessert was cantaloupe, to Jessica’s delight.
Although, she probably had no idea it was because of her spell…
| Jessica and the Love Charm |
fandom.07th-expansion | # Jessica and the Love Charm/Summary
Jessica summons the demons of love Zepar and Furfur once again, this time to help make up with her friend Saki. The demons misunderstand her and think she wishes to enact forbidden love between maidens, which they will happily assist with; Jessica corrects them, saying she just wants to make amends with Saki since they had an argument and haven’t talked in over a week. The demons begin pulling out magic items but Jessica wishes to have just a simple charm instead, receiving a spell grimoire in response. Zepar and Furfur say the grimoire has lots of simple spells that are easy enough for people like Jessica to use. She finds the page with reconciling magic on it, noting that it’s very similar to the spells they have in girl’s magazines; the demons reply that those magazines were all copied from demonic grimoires.
Zepar and Furfur go away and Jessica tries out the reconciling spell, which requires her to think of the person she wants to make amends with, wear her socks inside out, and then privately give them her favorite candy. Jessica has no idea how this makes sense, but decides to go through with it since magic is all about believing. The next day, Jessica calls Saki over to the corner of the hallway where nobody can see and gives her the candy. Saki apologizes for their argument and Jessica apologizes as well, and then her inside-out socks are noticed. She tries to brush it off as her being in a hurry, and Saki laughs.
Jessica, happy that the reconciling spell worked, thinks about trying other spells in the grimoire. She sees one to make the caster dream of the person they love, hoping that Kanon will appear in her dreams. Jessica performs the spell and goes to sleep. She wakes up the next morning impressed and excited by how powerful the spell is, dreaming of having tea and talking with Kanon as Shannon brings them cookies. Zepar and Furfur suddenly reappear, happy that she’s using their grimoire for love. Jessica wants to use one more spell in the book, and the demons know which one she’s thinking of: a spell to make Kanon dream of her. The spell requires her to drop three drops of water on her pillow, then jump up and down three times.
Having completed the spell, Jessica meets Kanon the next morning to see if it worked. She asks if Kanon dreamed of anything, but the servant replies that his dreams were gray like TV static. Kanon doesn’t seem to show any newfound interest in Jessica, and she wonders if she did the spell wrong. She complains to Zepar and Furfur, who say the spell should’ve worked if Jessica did it right. Jessica swears she followed the instructions properly and points to a picture of a witch doing an incantation, chanting <Orihsot, Orihsot>. The demons asks who <Toshiro> is, and Jessica swears she’s heard that name before. They explain that the picture was just an example and that Jessica needed to chant the name of the person she loves backwards, which in this case would be <Nonak, Nonak>. Jessica is disappointed, but she swears that she will make Kanon fall for her without magical methods. Zepar and Furfur bid her good luck and disappear.
Meanwhile, <a href="Toshiro%20Gohda"><Toshiro> Gohda</a> is in the kitchen trying to make sense of the dream he had last night. For some reason, he dreamed of Jessica talking with him about planning a vacation and being all romantic with him. He brushes off this dream of forbidden love between master and servant and tries to focus on his cooking, giving Jessica cantaloupe for dinner.

He holds the rank of First Lieutenant in the JSDF. Tomitake is an auditor for the secret organization Tokyo and acts as a liaison between them and the Irie Clinic for Hinamizawa Syndrome research.

Story.
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Question Arcs.
Onikakushi.
Tomitake is first introduced when Keiichi visits the junkyard with Rena and takes a picture of him. Keiichi makes a joke about Rena checking a dismembered corpse she found in the junkyard, and Tomitake ominously mentions a incident where the victim was dismembered, and that they still haven't found one of his arms. Tomitake leaves soon after.
A few days later, Tomitake attends the Watanagashi Festival and joins the club in their stall games. Tomitake manages to hold his own during the shooting gallery, but he ultimately loses. Keiichi later sees Tomitake talking to a woman. Tomitake sees that Keiichi must be feeling left out and then tells him all about the dam project and Oyashiro-sama's curse.The club reappears and writes on Tomitake's shirt for a punishment game. Tomitake sets off for the night with his lady friend.
The next day, Tomitake is found dead by the police, having apparently clawed his own throat out after the festival. Ooishi interviews Keiichi regarding this since his name was written on Tomitake's shirt.
Watanagashi.
Tomitake and Takano meet the club and Shion after festival preparations. Tomitake talks with Keiichi and Shion about the dam project and Oyashiro-sama's curse.
During the Watanagashi Festival, Tomitake helps Takano break into the ritual storehouse by picking the lock and stands guard outside as Keiichi and Shion join her. After a while, Tomitake steps inside to warn the group that the festival's over and people are heading toward the stream. Tomitake asks if Takano was fooling around in there, getting worried when he heard someone jumping up and down inside. Keiichi has no idea what he's talking about.
Later that night, Tomitake found dead by the police with his throat clawed out.
Tatarigoroshi.
Tomitake runs into Keiichi and asks for directions to the Furude Shrine. Later, they talk about the curse and dam project.

Tsumihoroboshi.
Tomitake is found dead after Watanagashi with his throat clawed out. Irie helps police with the investigation.
Minagoroshi.
Tomitake and Takano inspect the ritual storehouse with plans to break into it later. Rika meets them and decides to let them inside so she can gain their cooperation in stopping her future death. As they gaze at the torture tools inside and Takano goes on about Hinamizawa's horrible past, Hanyuu starts angrily jumping on the floor. Tomitake notices Hanyuu's stomping but is unable to actually see her. Rika assuages his fears.
Tomitake attends a budget meeting with Takano and Irie, wishing them luck in finding a cure for Hinamizawa Syndrome. He talks to them about Rika's fears that she'll be killed in the future.
Tomitake joins Keiichi's protests to save Satoko from her uncle.
Rika warns Tomitake that he and Takano will be killed on the night of Watanagashi, with Tomitake clawing his throat out like from the terminal symptoms of the syndrome. Tomitake thinks he'll be fine since he's vaccinated against it. Rika also informs Irie and Ooishi about it, telling the detective that Tomitake's body will be found on the road leading to Okinomiya from Hinamizawa. Ooishi has a cruiser patrol the area.
During the festival, the club tries to talk to Tomitake as much as possible to keep him occupied and prevent his death, but he soon leaves with Takano. At the clinic, Tomitake gets worried about Rika's mental state and suggests to Takano that they examine her to make sure she's not going into the terminal stage. Takano then shifts the tone of the conversation. She tries to seduce Tomitake and wants him to join her plans in betraying Tokyo and setting off the Hinamizawa Syndrome "bomb". Okonogi and several Mountain Dogs enter the room and show they're on Takano's side, but Tomitake refuses.
The Dogs overpower Tomitake and pin him to the ground. Takano asks again if he'll join her, but he remains defiant. Takano then procures a syringe of H173, shocking him since he thought they were all destroyed. Takano explains that Tomitake is already an L3 patient of Hinamizawa Syndrome, having been given the disease during one of his regular vaccinations which he failed to notice; and will eventually kill himself once he reaches L5. Tomitake struggles and the Dogs knock him out with a chemical. Takano gives the injection and has Tomitake placed inside her car's trunk.
Due to the police car patrolling the area between Hinamizawa and Okinomiya, Takano instead dumps Tomitake in a rice field near Okinomiya. Tomitake eventually wakes up and kills himself after suffering from L5 symptoms. The police find his body later, with Ooishi and Irie conducting an investigation.
Matsuribayashi.
The Connecting Fragments section details Tomitake's involvement with the Irie Institute and his developing relationship with Takano.
Tomitake and Takano tend to Hanyuu when she suddenly falls down a hill while with the club. Later, Rika talks to Tomitake and Irie in private at the Furude Shrine to tell them about her suspicions regarding Takano. Rika reveals the knowledge about the Emergency Manual and the budget cuts the Irie Clinic got, and that Takano may be planning something involving Rika's death. Tomitake slowly begins to accept her words may have credence and promises to look into Takano and the Mountain Dogs. Rika also warns Tomitake to be careful, as he may be killed in a few days. Akasaka and Ooishi suddenly arrive, and Rika gets them involved in the plan as well.
Tomitake begins his investigation and frequently calls some Bloodhounds for updates. He gets told that they received an emergency order to investigate the Irie Institute regarding some suspicious finances. Tomitake sees that because of Takano's relationship with Koizumi, she's amassed a massive of money for private use. He realizes that Takano really is planning to go out with a bang in honor of her grandfather's research and regrets that he didn't notice her sorrow.
Tomitake spends his time in a hotel room while the investigation goes on. A Bloodhound informs him that the Mountain Dogs have made a move, and that Rika's body was found by Okinomiya police; they claim she's been dead for 48 hours. Tomitake calms himself and understands this must be part of Rika's plan and asks the Bloodhounds to stand by.
The Mountain Dogs meanwhile try to track down Tomitake's location to capture him for Takano's plan. They eventually discover his hotel room and blockade the area. Tomitake sees the Dogs from his second floor room and tries to make a heroic escape by jumping out his window and running on foot, but he gets captured anyway.
The gagged and bound Tomitake is taken to the Irie Clinic, and Irie manages to escape and inform the club about his predicament. Takano talks to Tomitake alone about her plan, and Tomitake asks if she really considers the Mountain Dogs and her mysterious benefactor allies. Takano asks Tomitake to join her and offers to become completely submissive to him, but he says nothing in response.
Takano and Okonogi leave to deal with the club while several Dogs are left at the clinic to watch Tomitake. A group consisting of Irie, Akasaka, Kasai, and Shion is sent to the clinic to rescue him. Tomitake says he has enough evidence to call the Bloodhounds and stop Takano and the Dogs, but he needs to get out of the village since they disabled communications into and out of it, and may have blockade the roads. Akasaka and Tomitake get into Kasai's bulletproof car and successfully break through the blockade, but a Dog van starts chasing them. Tomitake uses his skills with a sniper rifle to shoot the pursuing van and make them retreat.
Tomitake calls the Bloodhounds from a phone booth in Okinomiya and tells them to take action, then goes back to Hinamizawa. At Satoko's trap mountain, the Bloodhounds descend and prepare to arrest a defeated and downtrodden Takano, however Tomitake asks them to let him take care of things. Tomitake demonstrates that Takano has been developing symptoms of Hinamizawa Syndrome this entire time and needs to be taken in for psychological evaluation and treatment. The Bloodhounds defer their authority, and Tomitake embraces Takano. He tells her that together, they can atone for Miyo Takano's sins and she can be reborn as Miyoko Tanashi. Tomitake forgives Takano and hands back her scrapbook.

is a former guard of Eva Ushiromiya and then Ange Ushiromiya's bodyguard in the 1998 world, hired by Tetsurou Okonogi to watch over her. He first appears in "Alliance of the Golden Witch".
Appearance.
Amakusa is a tall and muscular man with long white hair that is tied in a ponytail with bangs covering the right side of his face and dark eyes. He wears black clothing, boots, a chain connecting the lapels of his jacket and a black hat. He also wears a golden cross on his jacket. He has gray eyes and has a pale skin complexion.
Personality.
Amakusa is a hot-blooded and open young man who cannot stand boredom. He is a laid-back and womanizing man with the outrageous ability to understand guns and other technology. Though, he has a greedy side for money, and throughout his life at different military camps/armies he has had a record of absences for no important reason. He is also quite talkative which resulted in him being fired by Eva.
Abilities.
Having served in various military forces, Amakusa is skilled in counter-sniping and VIP escorting. According to the "Dawn of the Golden Witch" TIPS, he is also extremely skilled in undertaking dangerous jobs. He is trained in unarmed combat, being able to take down one of Kasumi Sumadera's guards with a simple chop to the neck.
Background.
Amakusa has been in the Japan Self-Defense Force, the Foreign Legion, and non-government military companies. He was also once a part of the French-Foreign League, but for unknown reasons he was exiled from France.
After some years had passed, he was hired by Eva Ushiromiya to be her bodyguard. At one point, he worked as Ange's bodyguard, but after repeatedly breaking Eva's strict order not to talk to her as well as flirting with her, he became disliked in the end and was fired. After some time, he was training military recruits at Blackwater before he was employed by Okonogi for a large sum of money to protect Ange in 1998.
Relationships.
Ange Ushiromiya.
Amakusa is Ange's bodyguard. She is sometimes annoyed by Amakusa's joking attitude, but she seems to regard it as just the right relaxation after she figured out how to treat him. On the other hand, Amakusa is swept away by Ange's free-spiritedness, but he thinks that such a life is not so bad. The two may be more alike than they think.
Role in the Story.
Alliance of the Golden Witch.
When Ange is escaping from Kasumi, she is caught by one of her guards, who is quickly dispatched by Amakusa. Ange recognizes him from her childhood, as Amakusa was the youngest of many bodyguards hired by Eva Ushiromiya.
Amakusa helps Ange in her journey to Rokkenjima, driving her to various locations and helping fend off Kasumi's men.
Dawn of the Golden Witch.
Amakusa goes with Ange to the author Tohya Hachijo's house. He wakes up a sleeping Ange to remind her of the meeting with the author.
Amakusa is initially shocked to meet Tohya, saying that he had seen her as a man at some major book signings. Amused, Tohya explains that the man was merely a body double and that she was actually the woman standing next to him, overseeing the proceedings. Amakusa does not appear in the meta-world when Tohya reveals that she is Featherine Augustus Aurora.
In the Tea Party, Amakusa holds a private phone call with Okonogi, implying that his loyalties lay with him rather than Ange. Amakusa is asked to assassinate Kasumi and her men, with Amakusa having retrieved a black golf bag with a "toy" inside.
Twilight of the Golden Witch.
Amakusa only appears once in the main story — in the world of 1998, when Ange is traveling with him as her designated bodyguard. Ange tells him she has lost purpose of why she seeks the truth behind the Rokkenjima incident and is probably trying to find out only as an act of revenge against Eva. Amakusa tells her of the child soldier problem — how orphans or abducted children are recruited as soldiers at a young age and continue to use guns and violence, long after their time at the battlefield, having lost their sense of purpose. His final words of advice to her are "Please don't become a child soldier".
In the "Trick" ending, Amakusa appears on the boat to Rokkenjima, accompanying Ange on her journey. He is shot to death by Ange, who theorized he had been sent to assassinate her.
In the "Magic" ending, Amakusa appears as Ange's contact person, assigned by Okonogi. He drives Ange south as she steps into a new life of her choosing after leaving the Ushiromiya family.
In the manga, when Ange visits the Fukuin House along with Tohya and Ikuko for a Halloween party, a character implied to be an older Amakusa is seen handing a basket of sweets to Tohya.
Other Appearances.
Umineko no Naku Koro ni Tsubasa.
in The Seven Sisters' Valentine, The Seven Stakes of Purgatory are given the task to find a valentine for Valentine's Day and give them Ronove's baked chocolates. Asmodeus picks Amakusa as her valentine.
Amakusa tries to return the favor in Beatrice's White Day and defends Asmodeus when she gets attacked by the Chiester Sisters Imperial Guard Corps.
Author's Notes.
Shinsou Kaimei Dokuhon Episode 8, page 18
June 10, 2011. "A flippant, handsome man, who will come to be employed as Ange's companion in the stories from the future. I very much enjoyed writing him since he was a character who isn't present in the world of 1986. The duo of Amakusa and Ange made for a perfect balance between lightheartedness and sobriety that it felt like such a waste to let it end as it did. His clothes were rather troublesome to draw. I can only wonder why I decided to dress a male character in such a cumbersome outfit..."
