\text
In the office are Caym, Risbell, and Margaretta and Agri,
who had been out scouting in Hakusha...

\endtext

\text
And then, there's Itsuki.
\endtext

\text
They were watching an image projected by the Illusion Stone.

\endtext

\text("Shuka Soldier 3")
If we can defeat the Demon Lord with just Magahime-sama's
life, it's a small price to pay.
\endtext

\text("Shuka Soldier 2")
There isn't a single ally of the usurper here. You'll die
along with the Demon Lord.
\endtext

\text("Itsuki")
............
\endtext

\text
The activated Illusion Stone was showing the series of
events that happened in Hakusha.
\endtext

\text
The soldiers' betrayal of Magahime. And their cruelty toward
Diabolica.
\endtext

\text
These were secretly recorded by Caym with the Illusion Stone
to draw Itsuki in.
\endtext

\text("Itsuki")
...Is this real?
\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
It's real. Whether you believe it or not is up to you.

\endtext

\text("Itsuki")
Where is Magahime-dono now? Is she here?

\endtext

\text("Caym")
She was taken away by Tsushin's group. But she'll be safe
for a while.
\endtext

\text("Itsuki")
I see... She's safe... Thank goodness...

\endtext

\text
Hearing that she was safe, Itsuki let out a sigh of relief.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
But that won't last long, will it?
\endtext

\text("Itsuki")
...
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
You know it too, don't you? What happens to the losers.

\endtext

\text("Itsuki")
............
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
...Don't you want to save her? She's your friend, isn't she?

\endtext

\text("Itsuki")
...Is that really okay?
\endtext

\text
To save Magahime. At those words, Itsuki looked up.

\endtext

\text("Caym")
Well, I was planning to make Magahime mine from the start.
So it's not about good or bad.

\endtext

\text("Caym")
Besides, I need you.

\endtext

\text("Itsuki")
You... need me...
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Yeah. Will you lend me your strength?
\endtext

\text("Itsuki")
............
\endtext

\text
At those words, Itsuki fell silent, thinking for a moment.
\endtext

\text("Itsuki")
(It's to protect Magahime-dono... It's not because I've been
swayed by Caym-dono's words... probably)

\endtext

\text("Itsuki")
...Understood. For Magahime-dono's sake, I'll lend you my
strength.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Oh? You won't say it's for me?
\endtext

\text("Itsuki")
That's... I-I said I'd help you, Caym-dono. Isn't that
enough...? Besides, I... um...

\endtext

\text
As soon as she said it, Itsuki's face turned bright red.
\endtext

\text
At times like this, the more you say, the deeper you dig
your own grave.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Heh heh heh. That's true. From now on, I expect you to work
hard for me too.
\endtext

\text("Itsuki")
...Y-yeah. For you too, Caym-dono...

\endtext

\text
She wants to save Magahime. But at the same time, she also
wants to help Caym.
\endtext

\text
Once she realized that, she couldn't deny Caym's words
anymore.
\endtext

\text
Seeing Itsuki nod shyly, Caym smiled in satisfaction.

\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Well then, we should introduce her to everyone.

\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
Indeed. She's a pain as an enemy, but as an ally, there's no
one more reliable. Maybe things will get a bit easier for me
too.
\endtext

\text("Agri")
Alright, now that that's settled, let's spar! I've always
wanted to fight you at least once!

\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
What are you saying? The welcome party comes first. Right,
Itsuki?

\endtext

\text("Itsuki")
Ah... um...
\endtext

\text
But before that, Itsuki thought she should work on her
personality a little...
\endtext

\dlg("Itsuki has joined your party.")
