*sfx gyu = clenching fist

Beep... Beep...

"The cell phone you have called can not be reached. The cell phone is switched off or out of our service area..."

SFX: "Pi" Kou presses the end call button

Kou: Shit, no good.

I'll go myself!


040
Mikuru: And now, I haven't been home... for 2 days already

Papa: Listen up Mikuru... No matter the situation, always remain calm.

Don't lose yourself.


041
Mikuru: I know... Papa

Mikuru: Stop acting like that when you know nothing about me!

Kina... I'm sorry... I don't think I can do it...

I can't... avenge you...


042
Kina: Mikuru

How do you feel about Kou?

Mikuru: Huh? Why do you wanna know?

Kina: Nevermind, just tell me

Mikuru: Well,

I like him

Kina: Oh!

BG: Surprisingly honest of you

Mikuru: Nn

Mikuru: I also like Ayuna-chan, the commander and Takami-Occhan. And I also like Eeeeeeveryone at school.

That's why I want to protect them by being in Minkei

Kina: No... That's not what I meant.
Small txt: Jeez, are you really a modern high school girl...?


043
Mikuru: Typical! Just when my opinion of you got a tiny bit better, you do this.

Kina: This is ridiculous. Brats like you never get it...

Mikuru: Annoying old hag

Kina: You need to get off your high horse and stop looking down at others, you moron!
BG: Owow, I'm already injured here*
*note: she got shot in their last case before she died and this takes place right after

Mikuru: What's that supposed to mean?

Kina: See here, you don't think anyone actually wants to be protected by you, do you?

You're giving yourself too much credit

Even though you played and laughed with your friends,
you've never once cried together have you?

Mikuru: Wha...?


044
Kina: How about trying it once, just like I did?

It's unexpectedly pleasant

BG: I know your situation very well

Mikuru: Amazing that you can say that with a straight face
I can't do anything embarassing like that

Kina: I'm not saying you should do it in front everyone, you know

The only reason I did earlier was because it was with you and Kou.

That's all

See you, brat

Grow up before we meet again.

Mikuru BG: Kina...


045
Mikuru: If I'm alone I can cry just fine...

I can't keep this up...

I can't control my emotions at all

I...

won't be able to trust myself

I...

I...

Kina... it's painful...


046
Kou: Found you,

Partner

Mikuru: Ah

Kou: Huh...

So... Dont carry all the burdens by yourself

Please

Hauu, even if it wasnt intentional...

What have I done~~~~? She's definitely mad... No, I probably hurt her really bad, and now... Hauuu

W...Well, please take it easy and rest up

I'm... finished

BG: I suck...
