The Blooming Maiden Digs a Hole ... This World Requires Choice and Resolution

1
I have to tell
Alice.
Oh, dear, oh, dear.
No way, no way.
I didn't expect to bump into you here.
Life sure is interesting.
Hi! I'm Magane.
How are you?
Please.
Alice.
Alice? Alice?
Oh, yes! I remember!
That hotheaded stupid knight
from the other day! Bingo!
Well,
I'd really love to help out,
but I'm not her friend.
So, so, I can't do anything.
Please.
Tell Alice
Altair is
I wanted to stop her.
She's trying to
destroy the world.
So stop her.
Stop Altair.
They were right.
Meteora.
Oh, oh, trying to destroy the world.
I bet you're right.
Meteora must be that nerdy girl
with the white hair working with the enemy.
I see!
This looks like something worth lying about.
Anyway
You!
What did you do to Mamika?
Does it look like I did something to her?
I was just taking care of her.
I thought that killing a defenseless person
violates the way of the knight.
Before, you said,
"Killing is killing, whether for justice or for fun."
You are right.
Just for the sake of my friend
I am going to kill you!
Oops, this is bad.
I'm in trouble!
Alice?
She's not
Mamika!
Mamika.
Be strong! Mamika!
Alice. Alice.
It's you, Alice.
I'm glad
Mamika!
Magane, tell
Alice
Alice, please.
Save that person.
Please. Please.
Please.
That person
You!
What is it, what is it?
Mamika's dying wish.
What did you hear?
Yeah, I heard her dying wish.
She looked like she was in a lot of pain,
but I listened really carefully.
So do you want to hear it?
Do you want to hear it?
If you dare lie to me
just for the sake of my own enjoyment
I shall burn you to a crisp.
I got it, I got it. Then I won't lie.
I promise, I promise.
First, she said she wanted to stop her.
What's she talking about?
Oh, yeah, that's right.
Then she mentioned the name Meteora.
That's right. That's right.
I think she's the nerdy girl
you were fighting by the river.
And then, she was saying that
someone is actually trying to destroy the world.
That's what she said.
Dangerous, dangerous.
And then I think she said,
"Altair."
But I don't know who that is.
Is that one of your friends?
Well, she said to help her.
If you explain it that way,
then everything makes sense.
What do you think, Ms. Knight?
Meteora.
You shall pay dearly for this!
This is bad, this is bad.
That was too easy! That knight fell for it!
But hey, don't hate me.
Just like I promised,
I haven't told a single lie.
I made everything so easy for you.
I start to get so itchy when I don't lie!
Dear me!
So! Things are getting interesting!
Magane presents: Extreme Illusion, curtain open!
I'm on fire! I'm on fire!
I feel so pumped up now.
Sota.
Amazing.
I love guys
who are on time.
Why did you want to see me?
No one likes impatient guys, okay?
Well, can you treat me to something?
This is a nice world.
The food is delicious,
and the drinks are good.
The sky is deep, the air is fresh
and everyone is so stupid!
And Sakagami isn't here.
Oh, if you know who I am,
you must know who Sakagami is too, right?
The main character in my story.
He's so annoying, so annoying.
Being able to cut loose somewhere without him
is good for both body and soul!
So let's get to the point.
Continuing where we left off talking
in Akihabara the other day.
That's no good, no good.
You're supposed to say something.
You're too tense, Sota.
Don't worry. I won't tell anyone
about the person you killed.
No! I haven't killed anyone.
Really? I wonder.
When people are hiding something,
they talk about the details
and avoid talking about the most critical part.
Every single time.
But that's the same as showing everyone exactly
which piece of the puzzle it is you're trying to hide.
A liar like me can see that.
Well, then, I'm going to tell you
what your missing puzzle piece is.
This is it: "I want to apologize but I can't."
That's what it is.
When someone hears something they don't like
when they don't want to apologize,
when things don't turn out how they wanted
you can always tell from their behavior.
Their shoulders get stiff,
they don't look away.
But you
That wasn't true for you.
In other words,
it's not that you don't want to.
You can't, even if you wanted to. If you can't,
you can't see that person, that person isn't there.
If you blamed the other person
then you're the one who created the reason
you can't meet anymore.
In other words, it's like this.
Because of something you were actively involved in
you can't see her anymore physically.
And because it's related to this situation
and because you're the person that Meteora needs
that's why you talked to her about it.
You don't want to hide anything from Meteora.
But you don't want to talk about it
no matter what. Right?
Oh, I love contradictions!
Oh, so let's get to the main point.
I want you to be my messenger.
Yes, yes.
How should I put it.
You know that girl named Selesia, right?
I want you to tell her that Meteora is the one
who's a traitor, working with the enemy.
What?
Meteora is working with Altair,
and they're staging a rigged game.
Telling lies like that.
What are you trying to do?
It doesn't matter whether it's a lie or the truth!
I just want you to do that for me.
And so, you have something
you want me to keep quiet about.
I think it's mutually beneficial for both of us.
Do you have a problem with it?
I see.
Do you need something to make it more
convincing?
Mamika found out about the conspiracy
and went to see Meteora to learn the truth
but she died after a single blow!
Is that Mamika's?
Mamika is dead?
Yeah, she died, she died.
She was bleeding a lot.
She was so small,
but she had so much blood inside her.
And Alicetaria,
that idiot hotheaded knight.
She knows too.
If you think I'm lying, then go ask her.
Ask her who killed Mamika.
I'm sure she's going to be pissed
and going to answer "Meteora!"
No.
Did you kill her?
Did you kill Mamika?
Oh, oh, me?
No way, no way.
Why do you think I would do something like that?
Stop lying!
Who else would kill people other than you?
No, no, wait a moment.
Don't just assume that someone's a murderer.
It's not good.
I'm not going to listen to a liar.
I see. No, no, you're right.
I tell only lies.
Whenever I say anything, it's all lies.
You know me well.
I have a question for you. Then am I lying now too?
What do you think?
You don't know anything, do you?
Justice, the truth, do they exist?
Those things don't exist. Those things are made.
Just like you guys are doing.
You could even say that
we are all liars.
My god was someone without guts
and ended up dying. Stupid.
So, Sota, who do you think is the one
who killed the magic girl?
The reason she died
is a chemical reaction due to
someone meeting someone else.
If you dig into it, you'll uncover an inconvenient truth.
You still don't get it?
A certain conversation at a certain place
that connects me, the magic girl, and you, Sota.
Altair. I see, it's Altair.
Mamika was killed by Altair.
Mamika believed in me
that Altair is trying to do something bad.
And then Mamika
I see.
So you were the trigger!
You did it!
Congratulations!
Your hit count has went up to two!
What? Are you shocked?
About killing someone without realizing it?
No problem, no problem.
You don't need to get depressed.
It happens all the time.
You've got to be optimistic.
Use positive thinking!
Why?
How can you do something like that?
Because it's fun.
Watching people do what I set them up to do
is really fun.
I never have negative emotions
like hate and resentment.
There are no bad feelings involved
when I'm having fun.
How shall I put it?
I have a noble heart.
Don't worry, Sota.
What was her name, Aluminum Foil?
Oh, Altair!
I'll lay a landmine for her too
and make sure it explodes!
Hey, I feel bad to ask,
but could you stop trying to fool Sota?
Hey, Sota. I bet they told you
to listen to other people when you were a kid.
But people like her,
they take advantage of nice people like you.
They use you until you destroy yourself.
That was so mean. Watch your words, boy.
Do I look like such a bad person?
Your hurt me and my virgin heart.
You're not a person.
You're just a laughing piece of skin
hanging over a bunch of lies.
Oh, what a cool compliment.
Stay back, Sota!
Sota.
Sorry. Sorry, Meteora.
I did it again.
Why didn't I do it earlier?
I didn't help Shimazaki.
I felt she deserved what she got.
Shimazaki hadn't changed at all.
I wanted Shimazaki to
But it wasn't true.
I was just frustrated that I didn't measure up.
I made her die!
That time, I knew there was something
you were afraid to talk about.
I thought I was being kind by not asking you about it.
But I was foolish.
I was careless.
No! I'm the one who was careless!
Not only Shimazaki. I
Even Mamika!
Sota.
If you are aware that it is your fault
that you hurt someone
then you must not forget about it.
You must not use pleasant words
to forget about it.
Do not look away.
Continue to ask yourself
what you can do.
In other words, that is the reason for you living.
The world requires choice and resolution.
Embrace it, and face it.
Is that the kind of weapon that bad boys use?
Wow, interesting!
It looks just like a normal wooden sword.
Is that a souvenir from some hot spring resort?
I don't have to tell you anything!
It wouldn't be fair!
Are you the type of character
that likes picking on girls?
In a fight, it doesn't matter
if something isn't fair!
Oh, what strong power!
But it's nothing.
This is no match for me.
What do you think, bad boy?
I'll show you!
I've never met a girl
who was fine after getting hit with this!
A lie about a lie.
It turns inside-out on itself.
What did you do?
Yes, yes, that's it, that's it.
You look like a cat that's been run over.
I just love seeing that look on your face.
You're as stupid as you look.
Be careful, Mirokuji.
Her power is to reverse cause and effect
by making the person under her spell
deny what she asks.
I see.
Once laws have been bent, they stick.
Meteora!
Attacking Magane with Kuronagimaru
won't work anymore.
-Probably not until Magane dies.
-No way!
I hate it. I don't like spoilers.
Whenever I see someone having fun
giving away the secret behind a magic trick
it spoils the fun!
-I hate it when people do that.
-Hangaku!
What do you think, nerdy girl?
The plan I gave Sota fell through.
But instead, how about making a deal with me?
A project for destroying Altair. It's a bargain!
You don't want to talk to me?
Or are you scared?
You don't want to lose an argument with me?
Even you, Meteora,
"The Seeker of a Thousand Miles"?
Provoking people and taking advantage
of their vulnerabilities, it's your same old trick.
Oh, well.
Trying to destroy each other would have been fun.
But I hate forcing things.
People should live freestyle.
Or else they won't become happy!
That trick bag is so full of herself.
Oh, that's right, that's right.
Meteora.
I know I just said that it's too bad
that you won't play with me.
But it looks like there are other people
who want to play with you too. See?
I have been searching for you.
Meteora!
