Original subtitles

This place is Hatsunejima.

The island’s precise location is unknown…

The island’s population: unknown.

A mysterious island with no detailed information available.

Some say the island is Atlantis, which had sunk deep into the ocean.

Some say it’s like the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, floating in the sky…

An island that spawns no shortage of stories in the imagination.

While its actual properties are unknown, let’s just say it’s a strange island.

This story is the crystallization

of the blood and sweat of the girls living on Hatsunejima.

Forget About Everything!!

Forget About Everything!!

Okay, time to practice some more magic today!

Right, preparations are complete. Let’s do this!

Aishia-san, Aishia-san!

I’m truly very sorry!

Huh? Why was I sleeping?

I’m truly very sorry!

You’re not injured, are you?

I wonder why my head hurts…

Well yeah, I suppose it would hurt…

…to get shot in the head with something like that.

I’m truly very sorry!

Don’t worry, there don’t seem to be any other external wounds.

I’m truly very sorry!

Huh? What’s going on? You two are…

The truth is…

I-Is this the look you’re aiming for?

Yes, that looks great!

Now I want you to sharpen your will, as if you’re shooting to kill!

That seems a bit dangerous…

Like… this?

Yeah, yeah! Go with that “I’ll kill you!” feeling.

Y-Yes!

I’ll… kill… you…!

All right, stay like that! Sketch, sketch…

I was worried about how I’d deal with having a priestess

as the heroine of my latest manga.

I’m so glad I have you around, Konomiya-san.

And I’m hoping I’m a good enough model for you.

Real shrine maidens really do have a sort of dignity to them.

Aw, I wouldn’t call it “dignity”…

Next, can you pick up a bow and arrow?

Ah, yes.

Give the bow a strong pull, and gaze into the distance!

Go with that “I’ll kill you!” feeling!

I’m a little disturbed by your choices of words…

What kind of manga is this?

Please keep up that dignified expression!

Y-Yes.

I’ll… kill… you…!

Okay, stay like that for a bit! Sketch, sketch…

Let’s try shooting off the arrow now.

Eh? You mean out here?

Don’t lose that expression!

Go with that “I’ll kill you!” feeling!

Yes!

I’ll… kill… you…!

And that’s how things went down.

I’m truly very sorry!

I wasn’t asking about that.

Who are you two?

I can understand why there’s an arrow in my head…

…but it’s hard to talk with you, since I don’t know your names.

My name is…

Glasses!

Glasses?!

No, I think you’re mistaken…

And you, with the black hair!

Um, yes?

Am I going to be named Black-Hair?

You’re Red-Skirt!

R-Red-Skirt?

No, this isn’t a skirt, it’s called a hakama…

Do you think this could be… amnesia?

It seems like a plot device from an old drama…

If she does have amnesia, we have to get her to a doctor!

Wait… wait!

What is there to wait for?

This is an invaluable experience for my manga research!

If I let this chance slip by, when will I ever encounter amnesia again?

Let’s see how things play out for awhile.

Doesn’t it feel wrong to do this?

Even if I get branded as evil for this, I will stand my ground!

Hey, Glasses! What’re you whispering to yourself about?!

Ah, yes, sorry! Just a little evil business…

I mean, personal business!

I have a little question for Red-Skirt.

Hey, she’s got a question for you!

Ah, for me, was it?

Yes, I’m… Red-Skirt.

Where do they sell red skirts like that? It’s lamer than lame!

“L-Lamer than lame”?

The fact that Glasses and I are wearing the same clothes…

…must mean that we’re up on the latest trends!

If that’s the case, then your outfit is passé.

“Lamer than lame”?

C-Calm down.

I-I’m fine. After all, we’re dealing with an injured person here.

And black hair, in this day and age? Way behind the times.

B-But, as a shrine maiden…

Excellent… this situation is so juicy!

Give me more drama! More!!

Plus, what’s with the bow and arrow?

Do you really expect to win against modern weapons?

Come on, come on! What will you do now, Red-Skirt-san?

That’s it! I’ve had it!

I hope you lose every last one of your memories!

You fool!!

Whoa, she snapped. This is incredibly awesome!

Nice situation!!

W-What have I done?!

THE END

THE END
