Story 2 - the Desperate Escape
Yuni:
Freeze
Pirika:
Wow, the lava froze!
Hurry up, you guys! We need to get to the other side
Marina:
W-woaaaah! It’s so slippery!
Pirika:
We made it! This must be the volcano sanctuary!
Michidia:
Wow, to think magic seals are engraved into the ruins beyond the cave of lava…
It’s just as we’d heard. If the seals were to fail, this volcano could erupt.
Phoena:
The villagers living near the base of the mountain seemed so worried..
We must prevent an eruption at all costs
Pirika:
Yes! We’ve barely made it all the way here with the power of Yuni’s ice magic but if the volcano were to erupt, we could be done for
Yuni:
If you give the word, I will erase the seal immediately
Pirika:
Okay, then-
・・・・ＩＮＴＲＵＤＥＲ・・・ＡＬＥＲＴ・・・・
Pirika:
W-what was that?!...
Yuni:
There are golems within. I suspect they are the guardians of these ruins
Guardian of the ruins:
ＩＮＴＲＵＤＥＲ・・・ＥＸＴＥＲＭＩＮＡＴＥ・・
Phoena:
Eeek!
Yuni:
Phoena, stay back.
Phoena:
Y-yes!
Yuni:
Tsukamu-kun, give the order. Shall we take the offensive or protect our friends?
Options:
- Take the offensive!
- Guide our friends to safety!
Yuni:
Confirming your command. You would like me to annihilate the enemy
Pirika:
Uh- Yuni
Keep in mind that that just then was a request, not a command
Yuni:
A … request? Is it not allowed to be a command? It seems the way the Volunteer Army does things is… difficult to comprehend
Guardian of the ruins:
・・・ＴＨＥ ＩＮＴＲＵＤＥＲ ＷＩＬＬ ＢＥ ＥＸＴＥＲＭＩＮＡＴＥＤ・・・
Yuni:
Anyway, let’s begin the battle
BATTLE!
Guardian of the ruins:
Ghhh-…
Yuni:
Blue seal, disintegrate!
Pirika:
Yaay! We defeated the Guardian!
Phoena:
Not only that…, the seal is glowing!
Pirika:
The seal… vanished?!
Yuni:
It seems like that guardian was supplying that seal with magic
Kain:
Th-that means-
Pirika:
Yay! That means this volcano won’t explode, right?
Phoena:
Yes, now the villagers can finally live in peace
Pirika:
Wh-what’s happening?! Everything is shaking violently
Yuni:
This must be caused by mana overflow due to the seal vanishing?
I see- This cave will be destroyed shortly. I propose we leave this place as soon as conceivably possible.
Pirika:
W-whaaaat?! Th-then we shouldn’t be dallying around, let’s hurry!
<・・・・>
Kain:
Damn it! Magical creatures are approaching from afar! Especially at a time like this…
Pirika:
There’s lava spouting out from behind us too! We really must hurry!
Phoena:
The creatures are about to attack from in front!
Magical creature:
Uhgyaaaaaa!
Michidia:
Let’s break through their formation!
Yuni:
Roger that.
Magical creature:
Gyehhhhhh!
Kain:
Even if you say that, these guys are strong! D-damn
Pirika:
Watch out! Kain’s going to be hit!
Yuni:
(My next move will be Kain’s defence- It’s all under control. I’ll make it in time)
Phoena:
Ahhhh!
Michidia:
Oh no! The rocks above Phoena’s head have crumbled!
Yuni:
(I cannot wait for an order. I can’t protect both. Kain or Phoena, I have to choose the one with the greater chance of survival-)
(I need to protect one- and leave the other.)
……
Magical creature:
Ughyaooooo!
Kain:
Ugh-
Yuni:
-Kain, can you stand?
Kain:
Yes, you saved me!
Phoena:
Ahhhh!
Pirika:
Phoena!
Yuni:
(I cannot prevent the ceiling from caving in with my ice magic. This is the most reasonable option. Phoena will have to…)
….
<・・・・>
Phoena:
Oh Yuni, there’s a small piece of apply stuck to your mouth.
..here you go, it’s gone now.
<・・・・>
Yuni:
Come around, “Blue Seal.”!
-Phoena, let us go!
Phoena:
Y-yes!
Pirika:
Y-Yuni’s moving at a great speed! What is this power? It’s the first time I’ve seen such a thing!
Marina:
She was back in an instant too! When did you learn such magic?
Yuni:
… No, this power…
(Why did I make such a rash decision… and what is with this power beyond limits?)
Pirika:
What’s wrong Yuni? The enemy is approaching!
Yuni:
Let’s exterminate them swiftly
BATTLE!
Kain:
This pathway has been blocked off by rubble!
Pirika:
Hurry everyone! This way!
We should be near the exit now!
Yuni:
(Why did I? And what is that power?)
Phoena:
Umm, Yuni
Yuni:
What’s wrong?
Phoena:
Thank you for coming to my rescue just before.
If you hadn’t come, I would have surely…
Yuni:
Your gratitude is unnecessary. I was simply-
I’m simply relieved that you’re alive. Those are my thoughts.
Phoena:
Yuni!
Yuni:
…?
(What… what am I even saying?)
Pirika:
There’s the exit!
Guardian of the ruins:
ＩＮＴＲＵＤＥＲ・・・ＥＸＴＥＲＭＩＮＡＴＥ・・
Michidia:
The guardian of the ruins is at the exit!
Kain:
You mean there were more than just the one before?!
Pirika:
Take him down! We need to get outside!
Yuni:
Roger that, I will most certainly eliminate him.
BATTLE!
Pirika:
Hurry hurry~!
We have to get outside quickly!
Kain:
Yes! Everyone, we need to keep together!
Yuni:
……
Marina:
Ahhh!
Pirika:
Oh no! Marina fell over!
Michidia:
Look up! The ceiling is caving in again!
Yuni:
I will go. Everyone, hurry ahead!
Pirika:
Eh, Yuni?!
Options
- Let’s save her together!
- Yuni, I’ll leave her to you.
Yuni:
Roger that. I will definitely see this rescue mission to its conclusion.
Pirika:
Over there! There’s the exit!
Yuni:
Come around, come around, “Blue Seal”!
<・・・・>
Pirika:
We’re outside! I-it’s so bright!
Kain:
The cave we were in until just then… it just crumbled!
Michidia:
No way…. Marina and Yuni were…
Pirika:
When we were leaving the cave, we- we didn’t see them…
Kain:
No, this can’t be! They can’t just disappear without a trace in the middle of nowhere…
Yuni:
No problem at all. We are here.
Pirika:
Yuni, when did you come up behind us?!
Marina:
I… umm I- Yuni carried me on her back and moved at a tremendous speed to get us out.
Thank you very much!!
Yuni:
Mission complete. Please state your next command for what to do from here on out.
Pirika:
Ummm.. that aside, Yuni.. Haven’t your magical powers increased in strength?
Yuni:
… My power?
Kain:
Come to think of it, when you rescued Phoena, you were moving at such a fast speed.
You took me by surprise! Since when were you able to use such magic?
Yuni:
Up until now, no matter how many times I was ordered to, I could not use such magic
I cannot explain how these powers came about.
Michidia:
I don’t know much about magic but perhaps… perhaps that’s because you wanted to fight for the sake of somebody else. Perhaps it was your own free will that aided you to move in such a manner?
Yuni:
My… my will?
Kain:
I agree. Rather than to fight upon a command, to fight to protect someone based on your own free will gives you more strength.
Pirika:
Yes! Because at our roots, we’re the Volunteer Army! Everyone is here of their own free will.
Yuni:
I see, so it’s will. The feelings that would correspond to such a thing do exist within me. I certainly felt the desire to save everyone while tapping into the power within me.
It’s this will that the power of the “Blue Seal” responded to.
Pirika:
Hehe! This makes me so happy!
The Yuni who started out saying things like “emotions aren’t necessary” or “I’m a doll” has become someone who treasures us to that extent!
Yuni:
I see. I have changed and become more powerful thanks to my experiences in the Volunteer Army.
This is something I must thank you for.
How should I show my gratitude?
Pirika:
Hmm? I don’t think it’s something you need any grand gestures.
At times like these, you just need to say “thank you”, I guess?
Yuni:
I see.. Thank you
From now on, I would like to continue to fight alongside you and have you teach me many things.
When I am with you all… I am able to discover many sides to myself.
Phoena:
Oh! Did you see? Yuni smiled a little!
It was such a lovely smile.
Yuni:
I… was laughing?
Hehe, this is a very “delicious” feeling.
