Hina: Dyaaaaaah!!

Hina: Even though I'm beating them...
Hina: they just keep coming!!

Isumi: Look up, Hero-san.

Isumi: If you don't destroy that orb...
Isumi: they will keep appearing infinitely.

Hina: But how am I supposed to destroy something that's so high up...!?
Isumi: Well, obviously...

05

Isumi: you have to go up there.

Hina: Eh?

Hina: But how exactly am I supposed to...
Hina: g-get up there?
Isumi: How...?

Isumi: You're a hero...
Isumi: so you can fly, right?
Hina: No, well, I can...
Hina: but it's, well, kind of against my will, I guess you'd say. And...

SFX left of Isumi: *stare*
Text left of Isumi: Accusing Eyes

Hina: Ahh, okay, fine!!
Hina: Shirozakura!!

06

Ginka: No matter how many hundreds of you come...

Ginka: you're no match for me!!

Nagi: Oh, so it's just a special effects show. I was seriously running away from them.
Ayumu: Wow! Isn't it amazingly realistic looking!?

Nagi: But if they're gonna do a hero show, I want something that goes over the top in the last scene.
Ayumu: In the last scene?

Ayumu: Hey, there's something I've wanted to ask you...
Nagi: Hm? What is it?

07

Ayumu: It's about the "The King has Donkey Ears" fairy-tale.
Ayumu: What happened in the end?
Nagi: Huh?

Ayumu: I've been thinking about it for a while...
Ayumu: The barber knew that the king had donkey ears, so he yelled the secret into a well and the whole kingdom found out, right?
Ayumu: I can remember that far, but I can't remember what happened after that...

Nagi: You're as uneducated as ever.
Ayumu: H-hey!!

Nagi: Before we talk about what happened after that...
Nagi: we need to talk about what happened before the donkey ear story. A god made it so anything the king touched would-
Ginka: Ngyaaaaaah!!

Nagi: Hm?
Sakuya: G-granny!!

08

Ginka: Ugh... I'm out...of power...
Sakuya: Eh!? Don't say that now...!!

Medusa monster: Kshaaaah!!

09

Hina: Haaaaaaaaaaaah!!!

10

Maria: Oh?
Maria: Oh, dear. They've left while in the middle of helping me.

Hina: Haa
Hina: Haa

Hina: I'm...
Hina: never flying through the air again.

11

Hina: Kyah!!

Isumi: Hero-san!!

Isumi: Are you okay?
Hina: Y-yeah...Somehow...

12

Hina: But I can't move...
Hina: while being held like this.

Isumi: Don't worry...

Isumi: Thanks to you...
Isumi: I can now move my left hand.

Isumi: Sakuya!
Sakuya: Oh, Isumi-san!!

Sakuya: All the monsters here disappeared.
Isumi: Yes. But first...

Isumi: I need you to look into the true name of the noble spirit.
Sakuya: True name?

Isumi: It's one of the basics of magic.
Isumi: If I know its name, I can attack it more directly with my remaining power.

13

Sakuya: But how am I supposed to look into it. I don't have a computer or anything.
Sakuya: Is there at least a clue...?

Isumi: A clue...
Hina: Kyaaah!!

Isumi: Hero-san?
Hina: I-it's like...
Hina: my suit...

Hina: is gradually...
Hina: turning gold...!!

Isumi: Oh, no!! I may be fine, but the hero isn't...!!
Isumi: Please, Sakuya!! Check the legends...Is there a monster that has the power to turn the things it touches into gold?

Sakuya: But...!! If you just all of a sudden tell me to search legends for something that...
Sakuya: can turn what it touches into gold, I can't do anything...!!

14

Ayumu: Isn't it King Midas?

Sakuya: Eh?

Ayumu: King Midas was the one who could turn everything he touched...
Ayumu: into gold, right?

Hina: Yaaaah!!
Hina: Wait, wait!! My body is turning into gold!!

Isumi: Stop, arm of King Midas.

15

Hina: Huh? It stopped?

Isumi: Thank you, Sakuya.
Isumi: It seems that was right.
SFX: *beep*

Isumi: Hayate-sama!!

Isumi: I don't...
Isumi: have very much power left...

Isumi: so I'll leave this...
Isumi: to you.

16

Isumi: Take it!!

Right margin: The power to save Athena from the noble spirit that possesses the name "King Midas" is in Hayate's hand...!! The battle is reaching its climax!!
