Chapter 98 98: Afterword: Letter from Fraxinus 6

After the performance ended, Shido was brought onto Fraxinus by the brainwashed Spirits. Kaguya and Yuzuru tied him up and threw him onto the commander's chair where Kotori usually sat. Then…

Miku: "Darling!"

Shido: "Wait, Miku, you just called me Darling, right? Wrong volume! This is completely the wrong volume!"

Miku: "Hehe, what does it matter? This is the afterword section, which is not bound by the laws of the main story at all."

Shido: "If that's the case, then hurry up and undo Kotori and the others's brainwashing."

Miku: "No way. Having this many cute Spirits call me Onee-sama…ah, this is heaven. Maybe I should make the author my fan too, and then every chapter from now on can be an afterword."

Shido: "Stop right there! That would turn this into an extreme yuri fanfic that even questionable sites couldn't handle!"

Miku: "Uu… what a shame. In that case, let's begin this volume's 'Letters from Fraxinus' segment."

Shido: "What's the first keyword?"

—Origami's Personality—

Miku: "Origami-san's personality?"

Shido: "Going by the second timeline, Origami's personality should be a lot gentler."

Miku: "But in this work, she feels closer to the first timeline."

Shido: "Then let's have Origami explain it herself."

Origami: "Uu. The second timeline me is very gentle when I'm with teammates or classmates."

Miku: "And yet I don't feel that in this work."

Origami: "That is because the person I usually talk to in the story is Mikoto. Even if I can understand Mikoto's thoughts and regard her as a friend, as a member of AST, my physical rejection toward Spirits still cannot be erased."

Shido: "In other words, it's not that the first timeline personality is causing trouble, but because you're part of AST, you instinctively stay alert around Spirits."

Origami: "Exactly. After all, from the moment I joined AST, my relationship with Spirits was one of killing or being killed."

Miku: "Uu, personally, no matter what kind of personality she has, I think Origami-san is cute. Ah… right! To help Origami-san remove the gap between AST and Spirits, how about we get very, very close?"

Origami: "Wa… wait… iya! Itsuksa-kun… hurry and save me!"

Shido: "Even if you say that, I'm tied up right now. So, what's the next keyword?"

—Inverse & Tsukuyomi—

Shido: "Originally, Tohka was supposed to be taken away, but this time it became Yakumo-senpai."

Miku: "It can't be helped. After all, Tsukiha1 follows the senpai route. This time, it's Darling's turn to risk everything to save Mikoto-san."

Shido: "When I think that Yakumo-senpai might Invert next, I feel uneasy."

Miku: "But she might not Invert either. After all, Mikoto-san isn't a proper Spirit." (TL:heh~ the price of writing fanfic before the canon is fully out)

Shido: "Speaking of not being a proper Spirit, is there a chance Tsukuyomi will appear again?"

Miku: "Usually, a character like that only exists to give the protagonist an excuse to cross worlds, and also to hand out a cheat ability while they're at it. A disposable side character, basically."

Shido: "That sounds so cheap! She sacrificed even herself for Mikoto, and you make it sound so cheap!"

Miku: "Hehe. In any case, whether she'll appear again or not, only Mikoto-san probably knows."

Shido: "But Yakumo-senpai…"

Miku: "Was captured."

Shido: "Was captured."

Miku: "Anyway, please look forward to whether she will Invert, and whether Tsukuyomi will appear again in the future story."

Shido: "So you didn't answer anything! These two keywords were just here to pad the word count, weren't they? They were, weren't they?"

Miku: "Well then, let's look at the next keyword."

—Cutting Off Limbs—

Shido: "…"

Miku: "…"

Shido: "That's gore."

Miku: "That's gore."

Shido: "Come to think of it, Ellen did say she wanted to cut off Mikoto's limbs. Is that really going to…"

Miku: "N-no, it won't. As long as she signs the Protagonist Aura Treaty, no matter how deep she is in enemy territory, she'll definitely be fine."

Shido: "Protagonist Aura Treaty?"

Miku: "Mm! As long as you sign this treaty, no matter how bad the plot gets, the protagonists will always turn things around. But… it apparently doesn't work on some authors."

Shido: "Phew… Tsukiha is this sweet, so it should be fine."

Miku: "Apparently, in another book by the author, the protagonist ended up in a wheelchair, and one of the protagonist's best friends personally stabbed his own savior to death."

Shido: "…"

Shido: "I really need to go save Yakumo-senpai right now!"

Miku: "Then, next keyword."

—Yumetsuki— (I'm not fking joking yes they are talking about yumetsuki)

Shido: "Speaking of Yumetsuki…"

Miku: "That's another member of Darling's harem, a cute 'boy,' right?"

Shido: "I don't have a harem, and that's not what this is about."

Miku: "The protagonist of This Is Not the Date I Wanted."

Shido: "Apparently many people thought that book had already been dropped."

Miku: "It hasn't. It just moved from Qidian to SF Light Novel, and is still being updated with full effort."

Shido: "It's just that author's computer has been acting tsundere lately."

Miku: "In any case, readers who thought that book was dropped can continue reading it over on SF." (TL:and please read mine too~ qaq)

Miku: "Well, it's finally time for the keyword everyone has been waiting for most."

Shido: "I have a bad feeling about this!"

—Just Stay Shiori Forever, You Bastard!—

Shido: "I knew it! Also, this can't be called a 'word' anymore, right? It's a whole sentence! And one full of resentment at that!"

Miku: "In any case, this is also the wish of the readers. Come, Darling."

Shido: "What are you going to do? What exactly are you going to do?"

Miku: "As long as we use this ship's medical Realizer equipment, even Darling can become a real girl." (TL: my friend here would love that too)

Shido: "Wait! Stop!"

Miku: "Let's become the closest, best sisters, Shi-o-ri-san!"

Shido: "Nooooo!"
