Part 1: A Normal Day With Friends




It is a hot summer's day and Hibiki and Miku are late for a meeting.
Miku Kohinata: “Hibiki! Hurry up, hurry up!”
Hibiki Tachibana: “Hahaha……. Geez, wait a minute, Miku……”
Miku Kohinata: “Geez, Hibiki. Aren’t you the one who’s always training?”
Hibiki Tachibana: “It doesn't matter how much I train, getting up and racing at full power is still tough.”
Miku Kohinata: “Weren’t you the one who decided to run after sleeping in till the last minute? See, it’s just a little bit more, so hang in there.”
Hibiki Tachibana: "Fuwai....."
Shiori Terashima: “So, it looks like, the two of you finally made it?”
Kuriyo Ando: “Oh, It’s true. Hey, over heeere!”
Yumi Itaba: “Finally? I was already getting tired of waiting.”
Miku Kohinata: “Sorry for being late, everyone.”
Hibiki Tachibana: “Hahaha……. S, so sorry.”
Kuriyo Ando: “In any case, I’m sure Bikki just overslept, right”
Hibiki Tachibana: “Gulp! How did you know? Are you an Esper by any chance?”
Kuriyo Ando: “It’s so easy to guess from your normal patterns.”
Shiori Terashima: “Besides, you still have a firm bit of bed hair left, right?”
Hibiki Tachibana: “No way!? R, Really!?”
Yumi Itaba: “Yep, you look just like an anime character.”
Miku Kohinata: “Geez, Hibiki……. Look, come here. I’ll fix it for you.”
Hibiki Tachibana: “Ehehe……Thanks, Miku.”
Kuriyo Ando: “Damn. It’s been hot since lunchtime.”
Yumi Itaba: “In any case, let’s hurry up and go. Time is a-wasting.”
Hibiki Tachibana: “Sure, sorry. In that case, let’s go!”




Hibiki and her friends head to the nearest store to do some clothes shopping. While there, Hibiki picks out some clothes for Miku.
Hibiki Tachibana: “Yep, just like I thought clothes like this do suit you!”
Miku Kohinata: “Y, you think so? It’s true that the color has a likable feeling to it, but……. don’t you think the design is a bit too revealing?”
Hibiki Tachibana: “That’s not true at all! It is summer after all, so revealing this much is perfectly fine!”
Hibiki Tachibana: “Everyone thinks so too? Right? Right?”
Shiori Terashima: “Yes, don’t you think it’s wonderful?”
Kuriyo Ando: “Yep, isn’t it quite an excellent choice, at least coming from Bikki?”
Hibiki Tachibana: “Right? Right?"
Hibiki Tachibana: “……Eh? “At least coming from Bikki?””
Miku Kohinata: “Really?But, what shall I do……”
Yumi Itaba: “At these times, I’ll regret myself more for buying it rather than not buying it.”
Miku Kohinata: “Good grief. You’re so irresponsible…….”
Hibiki Tachibana: “I’ll definitely won’t let you regret it! I guarantee it!”
Miku Kohinata: “If Hibiki is going this far to say this……then I’ll guess I’ll buy it…….”
Hibiki Tachibana: “Yeah!!”
Miku Kohinata: “Haa……In the end, I bought it…….”
Hibiki Tachibana: “Fufu. Good job, me♪”
Kuriyo Ando: “Hm? What’s this, a flyer?”
Shiori Terashima: “Let’s see……it says it’s for an Ancient Greece and Egypt exhibit.”
Hibiki Tachibana: “Huh? Really? Let’s see?”
Yumi Itaba: “Huh, that’s surprising. I didn’t know you have such interests?”
Hibiki Tachibana: “Didn’t you know? The inside of a museum, is perfectly cool in summer.”
Miku Kohinata: “Ahaha……I thought it was something like that…….”
Kuriyo Ando: “Well, it’s not like I expect Bikki would be knowledgeable in stuff like Egypt anyway?”
Shiori Terashima: “But, this exhibit, it looks like it’s starting from next week.”
Hibiki Tachibana: “Darn it. That sucks.”
Hibiki Tachibana: “I was hoping that we could all go cool ourselves there if the chance ever came up.”
Miku Kohinata: “Like I was saying that's not what that place is for, Hibiki……”
Part 2: Meeting Up With Chris




----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sunset. Same Day
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yumi Itaba: “Haa……. fun times sure go away in a blink of an eye, huh. It feels so short compared to watching an Anime adventure.”
Kuriyo Ando: “What should we do, after this? How about we all go get some dinner on the way back?”
Shiori Terashima: “How about we get some of Flower’s okonomiyaki, it’s been a while?”
Hibiki Tachibana: “Oh, sounds good~. Besides we’ve been neglecting to go there recently.”
Yumi Itaba: “So, it’s unanimous? Well if that’s it, let’s go at once!”
Hibiki Tachibana: “Ah!? ……Sorry. Today is no good for me after all.”
Kuriyo Ando: “What’s the matter, Bikki?”
Hibiki Tachibana: “Um……the thing is I kind of made a promise to supervise Kirika’s and Shirabe’s training with Chris, so…...”
Miku Kohinata: “So that’s how it is……”
Hibiki Tachibana: “I’m really sorry, everyone.”
Shiori Terashima: “It is too bad, but if you made a promise then I guess it can’t be helped.”
Yumi Itaba: “Well then, are you alright for the time?”
Hibiki Tachibana: “Ahahaha. Actually, I’m just barely fine, so…….”
Kuriyo Ando: “Then you better get going. It’s bad to be late again, Bikki.”
Hibiki Tachibana: “Y, yeah sure. Well then, see ya later!”
Miku Kohinata: “Hibiki, be careful!”




----------------------------------------------------------------------
At S.O.N.G.’s Training Facility
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hibiki Tachibana: “I’m late!”
Chris Yukine: “So you’re finally here? You’re late, you damn idiot!”
Hibiki Tachibana: “So sorry, Chris! Well then, what about Kirika and Shirabe?”
Chris Yukine: “They’ve already entered the training room. We’re just about to get started.”
Hibiki Tachibana: “So, today’s training, is training to raise their resonance factors, right?”
Chris Yukine: “Yep……since a gear that uses LiNKER places stress on their bodies.”
Hibiki Tachibana: “Ehh? Chris, today you seem, somehow, like a very dependable senior.”
Chris Yukine: “Damn it all, don’t poke fun at me, you idiot!!”
Hibiki Tachibana: “Ah, ouch!?”
Chris Yukine: “……. Ahem. Are the both of you, ready?” We’ll be starting soon.”
Shirabe Tsukiyomi: “……. Yes, we’re fine whenever you’re ready.”
Kirika Akatsuki: “Same on the right. I don’t know how we’ll go, but come at us with everything you’ve got, death!”
Part 3: Training Session Torture (Part One)




----------------------------------------------------------------------
After the first round of training is over.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Chris Yukine: “Heh. The two of you aren’t too shabby.”
Kirika Akatsuki: “Hell yeah, look what I just did! These puny Noise, are small fry compared to us, death!”
Shirabe Tsukiyomi: “Kiri, that filthy language…….”
Hibiki Tachibana: “……is Chris’ influence, I guess?”
Chris Yukine: “Oi! What do you mean by that!?”
Shirabe Tsukiyomi: “That Kiri is being tainted by Senior Chris …….”
Kirika Akatsuki: “I’ll always be devoted to Shirabe, death!”
Shirabe Tsukiyomi: “Kiri …….”
Kirika Akatsuki: “Shirabe…….”
Chris Yukine: “Aaaaargh! Damn it all, do that stuff at home, will ya!”
Kirika Akatsuki: “Okay, death!”
Shirabe Tsukiyomi: “Roger.”
Chris Yukine: “……. Anyway, let’s get moving to the next simulation already!”
Hibiki Tachibana: “So what kind of opponent are they facing, Chris?”
Chris Yukine: “Let’s see……. hey, how do you feel having done it?”
Kirika Akatsuki: “It’s flexible! But, it’s too easy, death.”
Shirabe Tsukiyomi: “Un……there was definitely something missing there…...”
Chris Yukine: “Haa, you’ve said it now?”
Chris Yukine: “Then how about we raise the settings up a bit? Don’t whine about how hard it is later?”
Kirika Akatsuki: “Hnhnn. Too easy!”
Shirabe Tsukiyomi: “……If you please.”
Hibiki Tachibana: “Good luck to the 2 of you!”
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In the Control Room.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Chris Yukine: “We raised the settings this much, and it looks like you’ve had no problem with it.”
Hibiki Tachibana: “The 2 of you, were incredible!”
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In the Training Room.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Kirika Akatsuki: “Hehe. I can still keep on going!”
Shirabe Tsukiyomi: “Yes, me too.”
Chris Yukine: “You two certainly seem to be in a good mood.”
Kirika Akatsuki: “It’s going so swimmingly that it’s weird even for me!”
Kirika Akatsuki: “But, it doesn’t matter whether it’s an arrow, a gun, Nephilim or the Château de Tiffauges, bring it on!!”
Shirabe Tsukiyomi: “Even still, Kiri, you’re getting a bit too much into this……”
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In the Control Room.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Chris Yukine: “Hoo. So they want us to bring out the big guns again.”
Chris Yukine: “If that’s how they want it then as you wish, I’ll prepare an ace opponent for you next.”
Hibiki Tachibana: “What should we do, Chris? Do we even have a bigger opponent to send out next?”
Chris Yukine: “Don’t worry. I have a good plan. Lend me your ear for a sec.”
Hibiki Tachibana: “What, what?”
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Intermission
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 4: Training Session Torture (Part Two)




Kirika Akatsuki: “They’re late……Are they taking their time with the settings?”
Shirabe Tsukiyomi: “……Maybe……”
Chris Yukine: “Sorry for the wait, youse two!”
Shirabe Tsukiyomi: “……I knew it.”
Kirika Akatsuki: “What’s the matter, seniors? Are we gonna train together, death?”
Shirabe Tsukiyomi: “……I don’t think so, Kiri.”
Kirika Akatsuki: “Aren’t we fighting together?”
Shirabe Tsukiyomi: “Yeah, I believe in a way we’re fighting together……”
Chris Yukine: “Didn’t the 2 of you say something like the holograms weren’t enough for you? So, for the finale, we’ll be lending ourselves to you directly!”
Shirabe Tsukiyomi: “I knew it……”
Kirika Akatsuki: “Eh……. W, what’s this!? O, our opponents are our seniors!?”
Hibiki Tachibana: “That’s right. So, come at us with a bang without holding back!”
Shirabe Tsukiyomi: “A powerful opponent……”
Chris Yukine: “Come at us with even a gun or an arrow, you said? So, as you wish, I’ll give you plenty of my bullets.”
Kirika Akatsuki: “……. Shirabe.”
Shirabe Tsukiyomi: “……Yeah, Kiri. Let’s do it”
Kirika Akatsuki (Together): “We’ll leave ourselves in your care, death!”
Shirabe Tsukiyom (Together): “……. We’ll leave ourselves in your care.”
Chris Yukine: “Haa……aren’t those quite the nice expressions?”
Chris Yukine: “Well then―――let’s go, so don’t you dare hold back!!”
----------------------------------------------------------------------
After the sparring match.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Shirabe Tsukiyomi: “Haa, haa, haa…….”
Kirika Akatsuki: “We, we somehow won, death……. but…….”
Shirabe Tsukiyomi: “……. Yeah, you’re right, Kiri………”
Hibiki Tachibana: “The two of you, are both amazing!! If it’s just this, then I’m sure the day when the two of you can both fight without LiNKER will be close at hand, don’t you think so?”
Kirika Akatsuki: “……. It seems that you’re still hanging in there fine.”
Shirabe Tsukiyomi: “Yeah, we’ve considerably grasped the concentration of LiNKER as we’ve wished this time, but………”
Shirabe Tsukiyomi: “If they are unaffected by it, then I think there is also a wide difference in the individual stress placed on our bodies too,”
Hibiki Tachibana: “……I see.”
Chris Yukine: “Well, there’s probably no need for you to be in such a hurry.”
Chris Yukine: “Besides, it’s true that you’ve gotten stronger. You even managed to hit me once too this time.”
Kirika Akatsuki: “Even so, we didn’t…….”
Chris Yukine: “What’s the matter, you don’t seem cheerful? Are you tired already? Well, I guess this is enough for today.”
Hibiki Tachibana: “Are you going on ahead?”
Kirika Akatsuki: “Yes…….”
Part 5: Disappointments and Progress




----------------------------------------------------------------------
In the Hallway
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Kirika Akatsuki: “They weren’t disheveled or panting and yet they were rampaging that much. Are those people, monsters or what…….?”
Shirabe Tsukiyomi: “Even though, they weren’t serious at all. And, we were given the handicap…...”
Kirika Akatsuki: “Handicap? What are you talking about?”
Shirabe Tsukiyomi: “Don’t you remember, in battle, us holders, increase our phonic gain by singing our songs, right?”
Kirika Akatsuki: “Isn’t that obvious? Why are you saying this now?”
Shirabe Tsukiyomi: “Didn’t you realize? In the battle right now, the two of them, didn't ever sing at all.”
Kirika Akatsuki: “S, seriously!?”
Shirabe Tsukiyomi: “…...Yep.”
Kirika Akatsuki: “Haa……. I guess, we’ve still got a way to go……”
Shirabe Tsukiyomi: “…...Yeah, that’s true.”
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Back in the Training Room
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Chris Yukine: “Well, how should I put it? The two of them, seem to be raising their resonance factors all right recently.”
Hibiki Tachibana: “It’s like they’re in a growth spurt, the masters are also impressed.”




----------------------------------------------------------------------
Shirabe and Kirika enter the room.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Kirika Akatsuki: “Hmm……”
Shirabe Tsukiyomi: “Hmm……”
Chris Yukine: “……Those meek faces, even without saying it, I roughly know what’s coming next.”
Kirika Akatsuki: “……Yes.”
Shirabe Tsukiyomi: “That with our current resonance factors, we still, can’t bear our transformations without LiNKER yet…….is that what you mean?”
Chris Yukine: “Yep, that’s it…….”
Hibiki Tachibana: “I think that you can manage If it’s just a few opponents like in today’s training. But, if it’s a powerful enemy like the Autoscorers, then…….”
Chris Yukine: “Even if you did try to oppose us and forcibly raise your Phonic Gain, the backfire would probably completely crush your bodies……”
Hibiki Tachibana: “But, we don’t have enough of the model_Ks left. And there’s nobody who can make us new LiNKER……”
Chris Yukine: “And if you start thinking about these things during an emergency, then it’s possible that you won’t be able to use it when you really need it, kapish?”
Shirabe Tsukiyomi: “That’s……true, but……”
Chris Yukine: “……. Although you did honestly save us during the Magical Girls Incident. So please until then.”
Chris Yukine: “If by any chance something happens to the two of you, then shall I let you know, what I’ll exactly do to you on the way to London?”
Kirika Akatsuki: “Now that’s definitely terrifying ……”
Hibiki Tachibana: “Besides you don’t want to worry Maria, right?”
Shirabe Tsukiyomi: “……Yes.”
Chris Yukine: “So, don’t make such dejected faces! These things, can only be done slowly without being in a rush about it.”
Kirika Akatsuki (Together): “……”
Shirabe Tsukiyomi (Together): “……”
Chris Yukine: “……. In the past, I was forced to activate Solomon’s Cane, although……”
Hibiki Tachibana: “……Chris?”
Shirabe Tsukiyomi: “……?”
Chris Yukine: “……. As you suspect, I also had to continue training for half a year to raise my resonance percentages so that I could activate that thing.”
Chris Yukine: “……. So, even if it’s not a complete sacrist, my position as your senior means nothing to me if small-fry like you try to recklessly make yourselves compatible with it, you got it!”
Chris Yukine: “What I want to say is…., well, even though it took some time, that’s natural. It’s good to do it carefully.”
Kirika Akatsuki: “Senior Chris……”
Shirabe Tsukiyomi: “……Got it.”
Chris Yukine: “Anyway. For now, it’s better for you to lend us your power to the best of your abilities.”
Chris Yukine: “B, but, this is just because we depend on ya……”
Shirabe Tsukiyomi: “Miss Chris……”
Hibiki Tachibana: “Yeah, me, Chris, the master, and everyone at S.O.N.G. too. They all support you two. So, let’s do this without being impatient, okay?”
Hibiki Tachibana: “If everyone is together, it’ll be, absolutely, cool!”
Chris Yukine: “There you have it. So, don’t you ever ever do anything rash, okay!?”
Kirika Akatsuki: “Okay, we got it.”
Shirabe Tsukiyomi: “……We’ll do our best without being careless or rash.”
Chris Yukine: “Alright, those are good answers.”
Hibiki Tachibana: “As expected, of our great Chris! Our reliable senior!”
Chris Yukine: “Like I was saying quit making fun of me!”
Hibiki Tachibana: “Ah, ouch!! Uuuh, that hurts, Chris……. You should be kind to me too……I’m also your junior!”
Chris Yukine: “Quit, saying such disgusting stuff! First of all, if you’re my junior then act like oneーーーーwill ya!”
Hibiki Tachibana: “Al-right, but Chris is Chris.”
Chris Yukine: “……Alright I get it. Just for today, I’ll teach that body of yours, what happens when you make fun of your senior!”
Hibiki Tachibana: “C, Chris!? Tickling, is against the ruuuules! Ahaha, ku……. haha, q, quit it will ya!”
Shirabe Tsukiyomi: “Fufu……”
Kirika Akatsuki: “Ahaha, we’ve sure got a pair of friendly seniors.”
