Well, Millhi-nee,

I hope to see you soon.

Me too!

Rebecca, make sure Millhi-nee gets here safely.

Leave it to me!

It's time for Pastillage's annual tradition:

The Esnault Music Festival!

It's a huge musical event held in the largest concert hall in the country!

I heard that tons of people come to see it, and the city gets really crowded!

The Princess, who is also a singer, is going to perform as a special guest.

An old notebook chronicles

furui nooto ni kakitsuzutta

The tale of those days

ano hibi no monogatari ni

Which is yet to end

ji endo wa mada

As the clock spins

tokei no hari ga susumu goto ni

Our hearts will surely meld

omoi wa tashika ni chikazuiteku

The reason we look up into the sky when we make a wish

hito wa negau toki sora wo miageru wake wa kitto

Is because it's a gate into the world of dreams

yume no iriguchi tsunagatteru to

That's what I believe, so I close my eyes

shinjiteiru kara boku wa hitomi tojita

As if to search for a faint hope

kasukana kibou wo sagasu mitai ni

Fearless! I want to become stronger

fearless boku wa motto tsuyoku naritai

Not for memories past, but for you in this moment

omoide ja naku ima no kimi no tame ni

Carrying wishes upon pure white wings

negau koto mo masshiro na hane wo yadoshite

I'll soar high into the blue sky and reach you

kimi ga iru ao no hate made maiagare

Esnault Music Festival

These clothes are really easy to move around in.

Right?

I'm just glad you have the same shoe size as Nanami.

Yeah, they're perfect.

Are my clothes too big on you?

No, they're just right.

You even put a hole in them for my tail.

Becky did that for me.

Don't you want to go see the Princess?

I met with her before I came out here.

Besides, Becky is spending the day with her.

My walk with Rebecca-san was very fun!

How nice.

What did you do today?

We played with a ball

and took a ride through the sky on Mercurius.

That sounds very fun.

It was!

Thank you.

We'll take our bath together,

so you can take a break.

Yes, Ma'am.

I'm really sorry.

You always take your morning walks with Shinku, right?

I enjoy being with you, too.

Really?

Of course!

I was actually surprised to see that you're not with Shinku very often.

That's true.

We're in completely different lines of work, after all.

This summer, though, we have our morning walks and nighttime study sessions,

so every day is very fulfilling.

Oh, right, you study in your room.

I've learned hiragana and the alphabet already.

That's amazing!

I've never once regretted Shinku becoming our Hero.

He's great!

Hey, Princess...

Yes?

Have you ever thought of taking Shinku as your husband?

R-R-Rebecca-san!

I-I-I haven't even considered such things yet!

Maybe not yet, but...

in the future?

No...

You don't need to be shy.

I'd like it if I could do that,

but Shinku is from Earth, and he has you, so...

Don't worry about me.

If you love Shinku, and he loves you,

I'll give you both my full support.

You shouldn't do that!

I know you love Shinku, too!

You might say it's okay now, but you would definitely be sad if we really got married!

Well, I guess I would feel a bit lonely, but...

Shinku and I are like family,

so I'm a little afraid of changing our relationship.

Well...

I feel that same way.

Our relationship is really comforting and exciting,

and I really like it the way it is.

You're just happy having him by your side, right?

Exactly!

I'm worried that if I try to change that relationship,

it might just make things awkward.

Exactly!

I think Shinku wants to concentrate on his athletics and work as a Hero right now.

I think so, too.

I've hesitated to make a move on him for a few years because of that.

Well, I really do like how we are now.

We're childhood friends...

More than just friends, but not quite family,

and he treats me a little better than everyone else.

I was just afraid...

that I would be in the way when Shinku finds a suitable partner,

so I decided that I should keep my distance.

I see...

So, that's why you have to step forward and take the lead!

We're friends now, and I really like you,

so it's difficult for me.

You're too kind.

I love you, too!

Well, Shinku's the one who will decide in the end.

He just seems to fall in love with everyone he meets.

That's what we love about him!

I love that Shinku is always cheerful and loving.

Hey!

Me too.

Well, there are some things that I don't like about him.

Like what?

Let's see...

Keep this a secret!

I see.

You're right.

Well, I just hope he notices soon.

We shouldn't tell him about this.

I'll keep this a secret in hopes that he realizes it by himself.

Yeah.

It's our little secret!

Northeastern Galette Border: Mt. Misuha

It's the herd of bandit rabbits.

They seem to be living peacefully.

Nanami, her friends, and I captured them in Ayase.

They originally lived around here, so we returned them.

The boss doesn't seem well.

Brother, Valery.

We're back!

How were the foothills?

They haven't had any incidents.

However, one thing did concern me...

A member of the herd was... different.

It looked like a young girl,

and was playing with the boss rabbit as if it were her parent.

Nobody has seen her recently,

and the herd came to town in search of her.

I wonder if she's in town, too.

I hope she isn't a powerful Demon...

How is this, Miss?

Wha-

What the-

Are you all right?

Oh, no!

Our special guest for today's music festival, Princess Millhiore,

has arrived at Eschenbach Castle.

Her clothes and accessories are very lovely as always.

There are so many people!

Yeah.

Even the outdoor tickets are sold out,

and there are twice as many people as there were in most other years.

We'll have to be on super-alert!

Yeah.

You don't go on until pretty late, right?

That's right.

I have a lot of time to spare.

You're really something, though.

I could never sing in front of so many people!

I love singing, and it makes me really happy when everyone else enjoys it.

B-But...

Singing as a guest makes me really nervous.

I might do something out of order, or mess up the words, or-

You'll be fine, Princess.

I know! Let's get Shinku!

Shinku here.

Shinku, are you working?

Yeah.

I'm helping out the shops with Rico and Yukkii.

What's up?

The Princess is getting nervous, so could you help loosen her up?

Sure thing!

I'm sorry for interrupting you while you're working.

It's fine.

Just relax and do your best!

Okay!

I'll just imagine it's like all the other concerts!

Are you a staff member?

I'm sorry, but we-

Yes?

Ah, a Knight.

What is it?

Ow...

Sorry, Princess... are you okay?

Are you okay?

Hold it, thief!

No!

These are Cou-sama and Princess',

and everyone's precious treasures!

Calling all patrol:

a young female burglar has appeared in Princess Millhiore's dressing room.

Rebecca-sama has managed to fend the burglar off.

Neither of them were injured.

The suspect has the ability to control others.

Capture her at once!

Is it a Demon?!

No.

If it can control others at will...

Thief!

Transform!

Success.

Hero Stone:

Hero time!

Hero...?

You're deflecting the manipulation?!

Is this the power of the Hero Stone...?

Now, hand over everything you've stolen!

After her, Eclair!

R-Right!

She's fast.

Judging from her techniques, she's a local deity.

She's probably part of the Cat Deity's family.

If she's a local deity, we can't be too rough on her...

We still need to retrieve everything she stole.

Just make sure she isn't hurt in the process.

All right, we're closing in!

Dancing Wind Blade!

Nice job, Eclair!

That was nothing.

The thief was caught!

We've also retrieved everything that was stolen.

Thank goodness.

So it was a lost local deity.

I'm just glad she wasn't hurt.

We will be sure to take the Cat Deity to Misuha.

May I have a moment?

Cat Deity,

I got this at a shop as a souvenir,

but you can have it.

Ow...

Oh, Cat Deity!

Don't chew on it!

Young local deities can't really understand what we say.

You're right.

We probably won't make it in time for the Princess' concert.

We can just watch the recording.

We'll make it on time!

Get on the Hero Super Express!

That's right!

Woohoo!

This is amazing!

This brings back memories.

I remember doing this when we first met.

You're right.

You've grown so much...

I don't know what to say!

Uh...

I don't think that's the right way to put things...

Whether you're big or small, you're still amazing!

Geez...

Eclair?

What's wrong?

N-Nothing!

Obstacle ahead!

Evading!

Keep your eyes on the road!

Good evening, everyone.

Thank you for inviting me to Pastillage's Music Festival.

I am very delighted to be able to sing on this stage.

We made it!

Just in time...

In two days, Pastillage, Biscotti, and Galette will be hosting a battle.

We, our Heroes, and all of our citizens will do our best to make it an enjoyable event.

I will now be singing

the theme song for Union Fest:

Heart Relation!

You were always by my side,

itsu demo soba ni ita

always right next to me.

anata no sono tonari

That's why we could

onnaji negaigoto

embrace the same wishes.

I want to reach out this hand

and touch you.

Listen to the first beat of my heart.

I'm sure we'll have a connection.

Inscribe it in the sky.

Under the blue sky...

The toll of the bell...

The toll of the bell...

Listen to it.

The beginning is right there.

So that our hearts will never part.

The Music Festival ended at its peak of excitement,

and another big event came along right after!

The war between the three nations is going to start tomorrow!

Let's give it everything we've got!

Yeah!

So long as we're involved in the battle, we can never lose!

We'll snatch victory from our enemies' hands!

Let's do our best, Shinku!

Of course.

We'll do our best, Princess!

Getting lost in a maze of trees

mori no naka meiro mayoikonda

That's what our first encounter felt like

maru de sonna deai

Beyond the summer sky, sun, and horizon

natsu no sora taiyou chiheisen to

I saw another world far, far away

me no mae wa kanata tooi sekai

(zenshin)

I ran with (all my might,) all my strength

zenryoku de hashitte

(niji no)

Toward our (rainbow) dream

yume ni mukatte

(subete)

And took in each (and every) thing I saw

me ni utsuru mono

The world was shining because you were there

kimi ga ita kara kagayaita sekai

I break into a sprint, with vibrant memories

kakedashita azayaka ni

Of the wonderful days when we grew up just a little

sukoshi otona ni natta you na kirameku hibi

Since we're always connected

itsudemo tsunagatteiru

Through our hearts

kokoro ga aru kara

We should be able to see each other again soon

mata sugu ni aeru hazu

I'll be here waiting

koko de matteru
