Shinkyoku Soukai Polyphonica

Who's there?

I was beckoned here by your song.

I want to make you mine alone.

Eh?

You don't like it?

Sing forth, the song that is our pledge between us.

The song is a pledge.

The song is an embodiment of pleasure.

The song is an embodiment of power.

Thus, sing forth... the shape of your soul.

The frame doesn't seem to have any problems, but the fairing cover should be replaced.

Please do.

Corti?

You're late.

Is it done?

I was wondering where you went.

All that stinky smell would get on my clothes and in my hair if I stayed in an oily place like that.

You may be fine with it, but count me out.

Yeah. Yeah.

They said the maintenance will take about three hours to finish.

What should we do in the meantime?

We did come all the way out to Meinad.

It's your first time here, right?

Touring the place will be fine.

Well I am in the middle of work here...

We need to use our free time somehow, right?

Just waiting around isn't much fun, you know.

Let's see...

Shopping seems to be a nice place to start.

Phoron, how much money do we have on hand?

I didn't bring that much. We're here for work after all.

Jeez, then I guess we need to head to the bank first.

Corti...

Give me a break already...

I'm just kidding.

Let's go see the landmarks and then find a place to relax then.

What are you doing, Phoron?

Oh, sorry!

Hold up, Corti!

If we don't hurry, it'll be sunset before we know it.

Hurry up!

The original reason why the Menis Empire chose Meinad as its capital was because this location was naturally well fortified.

That building you see over there is the royal castle.

It's riddled with protections written in spirit language. Because of that, it's a bit of an eyesore to us.

Phoron.

Hey.

Are you listening?

I'm explaining all of this to you, so listen!

Oh, sorry.

I was just thinking that we should probably contact the office.

Well, make it quick.

God, they always call us when we're busy...

Heave ho!

The phone Rembart, the phone!

Gotcha, thanks.

Yes, thank you for calling!

This is the Tsuge Divine Song Players Dispatch Office.

Oh, it's just you Phoron.

Yeah, I'm about to go out.

Yeah.

Got it.

Was it from Phoron?

He said he should be back around seven.

Alright.

Well then, boss, I'm off to Shamura Public Works.

Alright.

Oh, if Chief Hadaki is at the scene, tell him Eufinley Tsuge says hi.

Roger that, boss.

Roger?

Roger.

I, I...

like crimson goddesses the most!

It's an elder crimson spirit.

Oh...!

It's so pretty!

So pretty! It's amazing!

Huh? What?

What?

What? What?

Oh, you surprised me. It's just you, spirits.

Surprise?

Surprise? Surprise?

Well, I guess that finishes off the large attractions.

Next up is the museum.

H-Hey Corti...

Huh?

Let's rest for a while.

What? You're tired already, Phoron?

Yeah, well...

Huh?

That girl... she was there when we left, wasn't she?

Was she?

Not to mention, the bourai seem to be worried about her.

I wonder if there's any problems?

Do you know her?

Eh?

Umm... no.

Then leave her be.

But when you see her sitting there like that, you can't help but worry, can you?

Right?

Do what you will.

Umm, excuse me.

What's wrong?

Are you not feeling well?

No, I'm fine. Please don't worry.

Is that so?

But these spirits seem to be worried too.

You see, the bourai appear faded and smaller when those around them feel sad or worried.

Is that so?

Yeah.

You seem to know a lot about spirits.

Well, I am working with stuff related to that.

Though he's still a rookie.

Rookie?

Rookie.

Yeah!

Even when he's got his hands full just taking care of himself, he always tries to help others.

Corti.

It's been five years since my grandmother died.

As the days go by, both my mother and father are slowly forgetting about her.

Even I'm starting to gradually forget about her too.

Even though I loved my grandmother so much...

It was decided that the palace just ahead in Hamuri Park will be taken down due to its old age too.

So I decided to go and get my grandmother's memento.

But...

Even if I take hold of it in my hands...

If I don't... remember anything about my grandmother...

So I was lost on what to do...

I think you should go.

Do you think so?

You wanted to go and fetch that memento, right?

Yes, that's correct.

That means you remember how much you loved your grandma.

You don't want to forget about her, right?

Yes.

I think the most precious things are those feelings themselves.

How should I put it... Umm...

Like how the face and appearance isn't all there is to a person...

No, that's not it...

Phoron, think it through before you start speaking.

Speaking on impulse is a bad habit of yours.

In other words, what's precious is the feeling that you don't want to forget about your grandmother.

Whether you actually remember her or not isn't the problem.

So, you will go fetch your grandmother's memento.

That's where the actual meaning of it all lies.

That's what you're trying to say, right Phoron?

Yeah.

Something like that.

You're right.

Maybe you're right.

Misaki-sama!

Karen!

So you were here, Misaki-sama?

I was looking all over for you!

My apologies.

It looks like your friend is here.

We'll be taking our leave then.

Umm!

Let's go, Misaki-sama.
