Why...

Why can't we go to Asuka's Fragment?!

Why...

Why?!

Asuka, I hate to say it,

but her Fragment is probably gone...

That can't be true!

There's no way she lost to-

You're okay!

Where's Asuka?!

She came with you, right?!

At some point, this ended up in my pocket.

It probably means she wants me to do this.

Hey... Where's Asuka?

She...

was swallowed up by the Twilight.

Midterms are finally over.

I'm so screwed...

These tests are gonna ruin my status as

"trendy girl who looks like an idiot but actually has okay grades".

To tell the truth, I didn't do too hot, either.

Same here.

I try to concentrate, but I just can't get in the right mindset.

I, on the other hand, was glad to have something to focus on.

That way, I didn't have to think about everything else.

Is Asuka-senpai here today?

No, she skipped again.

It's been almost a week now.

There's no way she's sick with a cold, right?

It's not out of the question.

It must feel like she's lost half of herself, after all.

Hey there, sleep-deprived ladies!

All of you listen up, get up, start dancin', yeah!

Asuka-senpai! All of you listen up, get up, start dancin', yeah!

Are you feeling better? All of you listen up, get up, start dancin', yeah!

All of you listen up, get up, start dancin', yeah!

You skip midterms, and this is how you show up? What the hell?!

I didn't skip them! I took them today!

Just on a different schedule!

Oh, okay.

Hope it went well.

We were worried 'cause you didn't show for a good week.

Sorry, guys! This year's cold is pretty tough.

Are you really feeling okay, Asuka?

You don't believe me?

I'm fine, I'm not even contagious or anything.

That's not what I was asking about.

After all, we've got a super big job to do!

Huh?

We've gotta go defeat Clutters!

Huh?! What are you-

Oh, it's you girls.

I've got to lock this door, so you should start heading home.

Long time no see, Kitta-sensei!

Tsuchimiya-san! I'm glad you were able to take the important tests.

These tests are going to start influencing your future career path.

Speaking of futures, how did things go with you after that Tomoya musical?

H-Huh? What do you...

Did you propose to your girlfriend?

Huh?!

What do you have to say about your proposal, Sensei?

No, uh, I haven't yet...

What?! After that perfect setup?!

I-I probably will by the end of the year.

Maybe on New Year's Eve.

C'mon, you gotta propose on Christmas.

Asuka!

Come on!

Sorry about her, Sensei!

Let's go home!

G-goodbye, Sensei!

Good luck, Kitta-chan!

My proposal, huh...?

Asuka, what was that all about just now?!

We've gotta do the same thing Seriouska was doing!

We have to beat down Clutters in other Fragments!

If we keep doing that, then the King of Twilight will eventually show up,

and we'll finish them off, too!

Uh, how are we going to know when a Clutter shows up in another Fragment?

You got those new Astral Modules, right?

Those are the same as the one that Seriouska had, right?

That means...

...it should react to Clutters on different Fragments.

Good thinking, Asuka.

Right? The medicine the doctor gave me really cleared my head, like, whew!

There you have it, she's high on cold medicine.

I was thinking the same thing.

It would be a shame to waste these powers we've been bestowed.

So we have to do it because it's a waste?

Yes! That's what makes us heroes!

Mia, Chloe, Nana, you're in, right?

Yeah. We'll be saving a lot of people, after all.

I don't mind as long as the bad guys aren't super annoying to take out.

Huh? You really want to do this?

Café Octave

It'll be fine, promise!

You can do anything when you give it a serious try!

Long time no see, Mister Manager!

Hey there, welcome.

It does seem a little fake, but it's better than being depressed, right?

Yeah, I get that.

But it kind of reminds me of how she was way back then.

You mean ten years ago?

Yeah, with Kyohei-kun.

She took some time off school...

When I finally saw her again, she was in this weird, happy mood.

I know what I'm gonna do, Yu!

I'm gonna take over the family business! I'll take over Tsuchimiya Miso!

I'm gonna make it so famous that everyone in the whole world knows about us!

Really?

But I thought you said you wanted to make chikuwa when you got older.

I bet there's someone else out there who can make really yummy chikuwa.

But I'm the only one left who can take over the family business!

Ever since then, Asuka's said she wanted to take over the miso shop.

But I'll never forget how uncomfortable I felt seeing her like that back then.

She hasn't said anything particularly strange.

Still, back then, I knew something was wrong.

Somehow, I knew she was lying.

What're you guys doing? C'mon!

Coming...

The gentle scent of roasted green tea made from high-quality tea leaves,

and the delicious taste of fresh milk, straight from the farm,

combine into a drink that is truly the Home Run King of the latte world!

That King just drove a home run of relaxation down my throat!

Take your time, now.

So, when are we going after Clutters?

We can't do anything until these catch a signal.

I thought you'd say that...

So I've got a proposal!

What is it?

Let's have a Christmas party!

We can do it here, at Octave!

Oh, at Octave?

But wait, that's not much different than what we're doing now, is it?

It'll be totally different!

We're doing it for Takumi-kun!

I've been worried about Takumi-kun this whole time.

He came from his Fragment and became the link.

He must be really lonely all by himself, right?

So we're gonna cheer him up!

That's a great idea! I'm in!

Well, there is one problem.

We don't know where he is...

We know where Takkun's house is.

Huh? Takkun?

We haven't told you yet, huh, Asuka?

I ran into him at the cleaner's.

Apparently his family owns the place.

I'm friends with his mom now, too.

Way to go, Nana! Let me bestow upon you my thanks.

I accept them graciously, milady!

Just you wait, Takumi-kun!

Octave Reserved from

this afternoon as the Manager is out.

Ta-dah!

My chikuwa cake!

Wow, looks great.

At first, I wanted to make the cake with chikuwa,

but my grandma stopped me.

Good job, Grandma.

Seriously.

Take care of the place for me, all right?

We will!

Thank you for letting us use the café, sir!

Okay, should we get some drinks ready?

Oh, that's Yu's job!

Huh?

I mean, our beloved manager said her coffee was great!

Brew us something delicious, Master Yu!

Okay, you got it.

Sorry to keep you waiting!

Today's special guest is here!

H-hello.

I hardly recognized you!

Yeah. You look great.

Th-thanks...

What are you getting so stiff for?

Why, I can hardly believe you're the same boy who doused me with gross water.

I mean... This is the first time I've ever worn clothes like these.

How are things going over here? Used to things already?

Yeah, I think I'm okay.

People give me funny looks sometimes, but I always manage to lie my way through.

That, and...

I'm really glad my mom and dad are alive.

Hey guys, listen to this!

This request comes from Chikuwasuka-san.

Welcome back to the show.

"Thank you for your show. Today, we're having a Christmas party."

Alright, then, why don't we liven things up with this song?

Okay, time to dig into my chikuwa cake!

Yeah!

Oh, a message from the great Lord Chikuwa!

Huh?

You're going to treat that like a chikuwa, too? How's that work?

I understand! Lord Chikuwa has spoken!

Takumi-kun, your future is as boundless as the stars!

Lord Chikuwa will grant you one wish!

Really? He'll grant me any wish?

Of course! Lord Chikuwa is great and powerful!

Okay, then, tell Lord Chikuwa...

I wish that Big Sister Asuka comes to get me soon!

U-umm, Takkun, what's wrong with staying in this world forever?

I can't. I'd feel bad for the me from this world.

I mean, I stole his body...

And all the things my mom and dad do, like make dinner for me, or buy presents for me,

they're only doing those for the real me from this world.

It's okay, Takumi-kun!

There's no way that Asuka would've lost to that guy!

There are a bunch of Clutters wreaking havoc in other worlds, so she's off fighting them.

She'll come back for you soon.

I swear it on the fact that we're the same person!

Really?

Yup!

You see, Asuka loves the miso from here.

She should be running out of the miso I gave her, so she's bound to show up any day now!

Okay!

Kitta-sensei, working on a Sunday?

What's up?

Shut up.

What?

Café Octave

Hey, Asuka?

I don't think you should've said that.

Huh, what?

All that stuff you just told Takumi-kun.

Don't you think it's cruel to give him all that false hope?

What false hope?

What's wrong with telling a scared kid that everything will be okay?

It's not that it's wrong, just...

I think we should tell him that he's not going to see anyone from that world ever-

I don't believe that.

I don't believe we'll never see Seriouska again.

You heard her too, didn't you?

She said she was swallowed up by the Twilight.

Well, Sexy Yu might've thought she saw that.

She might just be lying to us, too!

I know she acts pretty crazy, but she's still me.

She wouldn't lie like that to you, Asuka.

How do you know that?!

Umm, Asuka-senpai, Yu-senpai-

If anyone's a liar around here, it's you, Asuka, especially after you straight-up lied to Takumi-kun!

You're just trying to make yourself feel better, aren't you?

You're ignoring the reality in front of you and avoiding what you should really be doing!

Maybe.

I've always been a liar to you, Yu.

Ever since what happened ten years ago.

Huh...?

You said the same thing before, too, Chloe.

That's not what I meant...

No, I've always felt like that's how you thought of me.

I only realized it back then.

Hold on a sec-

You thought I was lying and taking life easy, didn't you?

You thought when Kyo-chan died, I started coasting through life, huh?

That's not what I mean!

I just think that you should say how you really feel and-

I always say how I really feel!

You really believe that?

I've never once thought you've said something that came straight from your heart.

Really?

Then there's no point in me saying anything.

A-Asuka-senpai!

Um...

Is she going to be okay?

I don't care.

She'll come back here eventually.

Sorry... I could've said something...

It's not your fault, Chloe.

I walked Takumi-kun home!

I just passed Asuka, though, and...

What? What happened?

C'mon, Yu, what gives? You're supposed to be the perfect honor student.

What does being a perfect honor student have to do with this?

Guess it means you're too smart for your own good, Yu.

That's not a compliment, is it?

Nope, not at all.

I don't think you're wrong about what you felt from Asuka, Yu.

I've never felt like Asuka has ever truly spoken her mind about something.

So then what, you just up and tell her that?

You're just gonna make her shut down even more.

So I should've pussyfooted around it instead?

I mean, I don't think she would've gotten it then.

So what did you want me to do then, huh?!

I think the best way isn't to use words that really drill it into her head.

It's really simple.

Akeyuki Children's Park

Asuka-chan, let's go home.

Mom will get mad at us.

Just a little longer!

Um, I've never asked, but...

What happened to Asuka-senpai's brother?

Was it an accident, or...

Oh yeah, you don't know about it, huh, Mia.

His name's Kyohei-kun.

He was much more mature than Asuka, and a bit of a crybaby,

but when they were together, he smiled a lot.

He went missing.

We still don't know where he went.

Asuka looked away for a split second, and that's when he disappeared.

It happened all of a sudden...

The police and all the adults grouped up to look for him,

but they couldn't find him.

They couldn't even find clothing or anything.

Nobody blamed Asuka for what happened.

She was just a kid, after all.

But I think Asuka feels responsible for what happened.

For about a year afterwards, she went to that park every single day.

She just sat there,

as if she thought that if she waited long enough, Kyohei-kun would come home.

Kyo-chan?

I saw her little brother's room the last time I went over to her house.

It's not over for Asuka, or for her family.

I went to a different elementary school, but I remember when it happened.

All the grown-ups looked sad, but also kind of mad, too. It was scary.

Asuka must've felt the same way.

She must've been mad at herself.

We should go!

We should find Asuka-senpai.

I want to be with everyone...

With you guys, and Asuka-senpai!

What am I doing?

I know they can't be Kyo-chan!

Really?

No, I've got to go.

She didn't go home.

Where would Asuka-senpai go at a time like this?

I don't know, either!

I don't know Asuka THAT well...

Do you have an idea?

The park Kyohei-kun went missing from...

This way!

The ocean...

That day, could Kyo-chan have...

I should go home.

It looks like a Clutter alert!

But what Fragment is it on?

It's not on another Fragment...

It's here.

In our world.

And it's close!

Is the Twilight coming to our world?

The King of Twilight...

No, I am not the King.

I am the Emissary of Twilight,

the King of Twilight's chosen servant.

Huh?

Yes.

I am...

you.

You are...

me.
