Tsumugi: Coming i~n ♪
Huh, there's no one here? I'm not all that free, so I would hate to have made a wasted trip, you know?
Natsume: What shaggy stuff are you going on about?
Tsumugi: Wha, I've never said anything to do with shagginess though?!
Natsume: The alien lifeform "Shaggy Glasses" communicates with other individuals through the movement of its shaggy hair.
Tsumugi: Just what do you take me for?!
Natsume: A pathetic and foolish youkai that is making a futile attempt at disguising itself as a human, that's what.
Tsumugi: Uu~! Since you stopped being physically violent towards me, it feels like the amount of verbal abuse from you has increased!
There's really no need to balance things out that way, you know?
Natsume: I'm always kind to you, but you go overboard and do unpleasant things, so I have to warn you not to get carried away.
Sora: HaHa~ ♪ Shisho~ and Senpai are getting along great, just like always~?
Natsume: Huh? Sora, what are you doing here?
Sora: Ah, is Sora not allowed to be here? If he's being a bother, Sora can leave~?
Natsume: No, you're not a bother... I'm just a little surprised, since I only intended to call for Senpai.
Tsumugi: Fufu. It just so happens that when you called for me, I was talking to Sora-kun.
It seems he's got nothing on today, so he came along in case there was anything he could help out with.
Natsume: Good boy ♪
Mm~... There's a lot I could say here, like how talking to Sora on your own is basically getting an unfair head start, or how I was hoping to tell you later for a bigger surprise...
But, well, whatever. I guess this too is fate.
Truthfully, I don't like just going with the flow. But it seems like whenever I interact with the two of you, I become such a mess.
Tsumugi: You're not a mess at all! And anyway, that side of you is adorable too!
Sora: Yes! Sora is always full of respect for Shisho~! That's why Sora imitates him!
Tsumugi: Oh, that explains why Sora-kun is also so adorable~ ♪
Sora: HaHiHuHeHo~ ☆
Natsume: Quiet down. ... Enough of the idle chit-chat, take a look at this.
Tsumugi: This...?
Sora: Um, what's going on? There's all sorts of scrap parts lying around the room~?
Tsumugi: Uwaaah, did someone come here to illegally dump recyclables or something? But why would they do that inside the building?
Natsume: It wasn't disposed of, it was picked up. Because these materials seemed like they'd be useful for a magic lantern.
Sora: Magic lantern?
Natsume: Yeah. Remember, Sora? You brought me a part of one yesterday.
It probably doesn't matter much to you, since you seem to have completely forgotten that you left it with me...
And seeing as it was just something you picked up, I guess you could even say it's an illegally-disposed piece of trash.
Sora: ......
Natsume: But we picked you up too, Sora. You, who seemed on the brink of getting lost in this vast world.
You're similar to this magic lantern. Of course, you're the most brilliantly glimmering jewel in the world, the furthest thing from a piece of trash.
But I wanted to express my feelings, by fixing up this magic lantern that resembles you and restoring it to its true form — a splendid machine that brings smiles to peoples' faces.
I wanted to tell you, Sora, that you are a wonderful child.
Sora: ......
Tsumugi: Hm~mm. It sounds too roundabout; I'm not sure your point will get across. And are you sure it's okay to fix something that belongs to Sora-kun without asking first?
Sora: HiHi~? This magic lantern doesn't really belong to Sora or anything?
It's just something that was dug out after Sora and the others found it buried in the ground!
Natsume: Yup. But even so, it feels superficial to just keep saying "we're sorry for causing you loneliness" or "we love you".
That was how things went in "Next Door", so we would just be repeating the same thing.
We kept chanting the same thing over and over like a magic spell, but all it did was make Sora feel lonely.
A larger-scale ritual is necessary for us to change the way things are now.
Natsume: ... Or so I was thinking. But for some reason, when I'm dealing with people precious to me like the Five Eccentrics or Switch, I always end up going in the wrong direction.
I wasn't sure if this was the right thing to do, so I called Senpai here to ask for his opinion. I didn't want to be off the mark yet again and fail.
Sora: ...... ♪
Tsumugi: ? What is it, Sora-kun? Why are you smiling?
It's true that it's rather interesting — or cute — that Natsume-kun only chooses to start doing pointless and silly things at critical moments, but...?
Sora: Mm~mm... Sora was just thinking that Shisho~ and Senpai are both really amazing ♪ Sora really respects you!
You're both trying to accept and grow from your sad past experiences and failures... Bit by bit, you're trying to change for the better.
So... It really is Sora's fault, isn't it?
Tsumugi: ? What is...?
Sora: The reason Sora has felt lonely and gloomy—
It's no one else's fault, just Sora's?
