1: It is a tale that everyone knows.
2: The story of a knight going to save a princess kidnapped by a demon king.

10(2b): and Oashi Tomoko to Mitarai-senpai, so I have brought them here. You said you would go visit Tougyuu-senpai today, after all.
11(2b): Why is Date Reiko sleeping in Tougyuu's room? Isn't the girls' wing on the other end?
12: It was El's order, in order to keep a good watch on her without letting her get in contact with Himoto...

8)

11: nnn
12: Hiiee
13(2b): Ahh nnn
14(2b): Nnnaah aaaaahhh
15: let me yank it out...

16)
1(2b): ...tch. I just got you, and you're already bugging out on me...
2: What's with this bug mark?
small: Besides, why did you have to make such weird noises over me pulling the weapon out?!
3: It must be because that bug woman had you...
4: This isn't a bug!
5(2b): It's..."proof." Proof...that Sora-sama...will protect us girls from Iwahijiri!
6: ...and

17)
1(2b): The fact that this proof is on my weapon is in turn, proof that we will support Sora-sama.
2(2b): Support her on her charge down that direct path, that we will be at her side, giving her strength...it's proof that we have the right to walk beside her...
3: Proof that...it's my duty!!
4: It's fine.
5: Even if you can't use it in a battle, even without the "seal,"
6: you can still become her strength!
small: Ah...
7(2b): ...Oh my...I'm sorry...Yuki-san...

18)
1: ...hah.
2: You still going on about "Sora-sama?"
3(2b): She fell prey to her own anger like an idiot, went up against Shoujou, and then lost instantly.
4: She used each of your weapons one after another, without thinking about what would happen,
5: and then lost you all.
6: That's all she was capable of!
7: She's just an intolerant, stupid kid trying to act like she's on the side of justice!
8: There's no way a loser like that could ever stand up to Iwahijiri!!
9(2b): ...what it with boys...

19)
1(2b): Chauvinism is clearly wrong, Iwahijiri is obviously mentally disturbed and doing something bad...
3: Yet they not only show absolutely no resistance toward that,
4: but curry favor with him, because he promised them a future! They happily accept what he does!!
5: They're all cowards who can think of no one but themselves!!
6: Compared to you people...
7: No! She's incomparable with you!
8(2b): Sora-sama is so much more handsome and valiant...!!

20)
1: Wake up already!
2(2b): You're my property now. And from now on, I...
3: I...
4(2b): ...ma...

21)
1-2: Sora-sama
3: Sora-sama...
4: Sora-samaaa...
5: ...tch
6(2b): So...we boys really are the villains...
7: beep beep

22)
1: beep
2: ...what?
3(2b): ...huh? Transfer her?
4(2b): Koharu?! To who...huh?!
5: Why do I have to make a transfer to that useless...
6: Sora-sama...!
7: I believe in you.
8: I know...you'll protect me...
9: Sora-sama...
10: Sora-samaaa...

23)
1: I believe in you...
2: ...wh
3: wh...
4: y...
5: Wh...y

24)
1(2b): Why...they "believe in me"...
2: Yet I...
3: couldn't...protect the Princess...?
4: Why...
5: wh...y

25)
1: It's alright, Sora-sama...
2: There is still a straight path in front of you.
3: Protected by a great, invisible power.
4: Connected to a dream where everything goes how it should.
5: A wonderful, sure, straight path.
6: So...
