The message Quest completed appeared on Yamiko and Annabel screen and then Hitagi told them

“is not over yet”

“we beat BRS didn’t we?”

“yes, but we have to find Harima”

Hitagi was still speaking when the place started to fall apart

“don’t you think this is cliché as hell?”

“what do you mean by cliché as hell?”

“I have seen this scene in every game, movie and anime”

“and they still use it, don’t they?”

“is there anything else that they could use instead of the same end in a game?”

“you could get a Japanese Anime ending”

Then Yamiko said

“NO!!! ANYTHING BUT THAT!!”

“humans are simple creatures, if they try to be complex they start feeling like they are better than the rest of the people”

“how do you know that Hitagi?”

“I found that on internet, but I have yet to find why I’m alive”

They were still talking when they saw Harima and the machine that was holding him was falling apart and Harima was trying to free himself

“Annabel use “tractor” to free Harima from the machine”

“tractor doesn’t exist in this game….”

“you say no to everything that I ask Annabel”

Annabel stared at Hitagi angry and then Hitagi grew wings and flew towards Harima and he was in shock to see Hitagi

“we have to go”

Harima was wondering who was playing on his char, he was not aware that he was in a game and then they made it out of the instance but Harima started to disappear

“Harima….”

Harima looked at Hitagi and he vanished, she was not able to ask Harima about why she was alive, he vanished too quick and clenched her fist, she was really sad

“thanks for helping me”

Yamiko and Annabel were trying to console Hitagi because they knew she was not Harima and they finally believed her

Kaliningrado, Yantarny Amber Mines

“I have lost connection with my copy inside the game”

“check Harima vital signs”

“they look normal but he is not waking up”

“we have to take him to the hospital then, we need him awake in order to carry out the spell”

BRS asked Benten about the spell but Hatsune interrupted them

“don’t worry, I have made the necessary arrangements”

They were taking Harima outside when an airplane Pak TA landed outside the mines

Inside the Plane

“can you contact someone for me Hatsune?”

“tell me the number and I’ll put you on speaker”

|seeking contact info|

“hello?”

“Erica, is me, Benten, were you able to get in contact with Marisa?”

“……. yes, she attacked me this morning”

“what do you mean?”

“she was possessed by something, and by the way are you ok? I saw that you were in trouble a couple of hours ago”

Benten looked at BRS

“yes, I was in trouble but everything is fine now, we will be there shortly and will see what can we do with Marisa”

“ok”

BRS was still wondering why Hatsune and her were alive and then finally asked Benten

“so, do you have the answer of why are we alive?”

“yes, but you won’t believe me because it doesn’t have a logic explanation”

And then Hatsune asked

“is about love?”

“love?”

“yes, it is”

“how did you know it was love?”

“I read somewhere that there is no way to find logic behind that feeling”

“but that doesn’t explain why we are alive”

And then Benten explained

“Someone close to Harima made a wish on July 7th and the wish was to make Harima fall in love and to make everyone that he felt love for to love him as well”

“huh?”

“you mean that he loved us and that made us living creatures?”

“what type of power?”

“that’s the power of sharing the breath of the creator”

“breath of the creator?”

“every time that you spend time with someone you are losing breath of the creator, we call it life”

“why do they lose this life that you talk about?”

“there is something in this world that will never return, and that is time, no matter what you do, you won’t get your time back”

“even with the time machine?”

“Harima is a special case”

“I’m not following you”

“I told you that it doesn’t have a logic answer”

“by the way Benten”

“yes BRS?”

“you are not human”

“you noticed?”

“yes, I don’t recall seeing a human with eight arms”

Benten made a face of disappointment

“Don’t tell Harima about that form that I used against you”

“why?”

“just don’t do it”

“so, why are you helping Harima? Are you under that spell called “love”?”

“I’m not sure”

Then Hatsune interrupted them

“Why does people call this feeling “love”? I made research and Harima is not that amazing to be offering love to everyone”

“what do you mean?”

“he has skills, I can’t deny that but it seems that he is not being accepted and then suddenly everyone wanted to be around him”

That’s what Harem means

“Is because of the wish”

“but why would someone wish for that?”

“the person who made the wish was tricked”

“tricked?”

“there are other gods like myself who offer to grant your wishes if you do something for them, and she fell for it, now she is inside a black orb and Harima is the one and only that can take her out of that black orb”

“is she her girlfriend?”

“no, she is another lover of him”

“how many lovers does Harima have?”

“didn’t you read the synopsis?”

“ok, ok”

“by the way, where should I leave this toy? We cannot hide it in the city”

“can you land near the Imozawa River?”

“sure”

“Ok, I’ll be right back, I need to contact the person who will be helping us with Harima”

BRS then asked

“Can I go with you?”

“sure, Hatsune does this thing have camouflage?”

“let me read the manual”

BRS then went to the cabin and started running scripts

“I can make us invisible to the satellite but I can’t cover the machine”

“I can land behind the Daikoku Shrine if you want?”

“ok, that works”
