(Season 4 of Symphogear fan-fiction line! Continued after Symphogear OD)

-Back in the base in the training arena, Soran and Jin were fighting against each other as they were training while Maria, Shirabe, Kirika, Hibiki, Miku, Ayumu and Elfnein watched the two train together-

Kirika: Desu~! Jin-san gave us gifts desu!

Maria: Gifts?

Kirika: Desu desu! Fashion glasses desu! -She said as she took out two pairs of glasses, one being pink and the other being green-

Maria: What's the use of them?

Kirika: Disguise desu! So that we can hide from the enemy desu!

Maria: I don't think that'll work.

Kirika: Eh?! I-It'll work desu! D-Desu? -She turned and smiled as she noticed Shirabe slowly putting on the glasses as she looked down and blushed out of embarrassment- Hehe~ You seem happy desu~

Shirabe: K-Kiri-chan!

Ayumu: How did you two leave school anyway?

Kirika: We just left desu.

Shirabe: Kiri-chan forced me to come..

Maria: What?!

Hibiki: Maria-san! Maria-san! Look!

Maria: Hmm? -She turned her attention back to the arena as her eyes widened at the sight of Jin fighting. He'd jump back to a safe distance to see Soran had all of his eight tails pointing up at Jin. Jin would put both of his hands together as the gauntlets on his arm would combine and fire out like a rocket as it transformed into a rapier. Jin grabbed the rapier and attacked Soran as the short male would defend himself by using his tails to push Jin back away from him- T-That combination..

Hibiki: It's the same as your black Gungnir from before!

Maria: Indeed..

Ayumu: His cape has traits from Maria-san's black Gungnir and the gauntlets that form his Rapier has heat signatures that are from Shul Shagana.

Shirabe: Eh? F-From Shul Shagana.

Ayumu: Yup, perhaps Jin-san has not told us everything yet..

Soran: I bet you got those two attributes from your two girls?

Jin: You were there so of course you'd know.

Soran: Just sayin'. -All of the tip of his tails would split into three mouthpieces as there were red electrical sparks on them as Soran would then fire beams at Jin from his tails as Jin turned his back to Soran and protected himself from the attack with his cape- Now that cape is just not fair.

Jin: Says the one with more weapons than I do! -After Soran stopped firing, Jin got up close to Soran and pointed the tip of his rapier at Soran's neck-

Elfnein: Okay, that's enough for today's training. -The simulation turned off as everyone went down to the arena to meet up with the two males-

Kirika: That was so cool desu!

Maria: As expected of Jin, you could always beat anyone.

Jin: Nah, I was just lucky. If Soran was more careful and less reckless, I would have lost at the start of the match.

Miku: What makes you say that?

Jin: Soran has become much stronger than I have. I only have new weapons and armour, nothing else.

Hibiki: By the way, why did you have new weapon transformations and stuff?

Soran: I got this scarf from your doppelganger in the Spiritual Realm.

Hibiki: Eh?! You stole it from me?!

Soran: No! She gave it to me! No- You gave it to me! Ugh!

Hbiki: What was I like there?

Soran: Extremely emo.

Hibiki: E-Emo?

Soran: You were quiet and antisocial, you hated talking to me and everyone else when you had no choice but to team up with the others.

Jin: That's until Soran broke your doppelganger by playing games with her.

Miku: P-Playing games?

Soran: Hide & Seek.

Miku: Oh those games~ Thank goodness~

Soran: What sort of games were you thinking of?

Miku: -She blushed as she looked away nervously- N-Nothing in particular~

Maria: What about yours, Jin? How did you get them?

Jin: Just like what Soran said, from your doppelganger. Your Spiritiual clone was using the Black Gungnir and Shirabe was there too.

Ayumu: Well that explains everything then.

Maria: Oh right! I forgot to ask! Shirabe.

Shirabe: Yes?

Maria: How are you right now? Did you sleep well last night? Did Jin do anything to you last night?

Jin: I feel a little worried right now..

Shirabe: -She nodded slowly- I-I'm fine and yes, I fell asleep as soon as I laid on the bed and no, he didn't do anything to me.

Jin: Such a sweet girl~

Kirika: Lolicon..

Hibiki: Pedophile..

Soran: Siscon..

Jin: E-Eh..?

Shirabe: -She'd turn to face the three as she pouted at them- Don't be rude!

Kirika: Deaatth! Shirabe's angry desu!

Hibiki: Ahaha~ It was a joke~

Soran: No it wasn't, we were being very honest with our words and we were accurate too.

Hibiki: S-Soran!

Soran: It's fun to make fun of Jin.

Jin: W-Why am I always getting targeted?

Soran: Because you're you, you're easy to target.

Kirika: I kinda agree desu.

Jin: I-Is that a good thing?

Soran: No, you'll die faster that way.

Jin: What?!

Maria: Soran! You shouldn't say things like that!

Miku: Yeah! That was rude!

Soran: Ah...I-I'm sorry..

Jin: N-No, not at all..

-As the group was laughing and chatting, Shirabe was standing behind the group from a distance as she was staring at Jin and was thinking to herself quietly with her usual emotionless look-

"Strange..He's strange...So very very strange, yet I feel very familiar with him but he's not being himself right now. That smile on his face is an obvious lie, he's wearing a mask for some reason but I don't know what it is. In battle, he becomes a totally different person, like a man who knows no fear and who knows the correct answer to his actions but when he's not fighting, he becomes more subtle and gentle all of a sudden. I don't understand you! I want to understand you but I just...Don't know how to find the answer..I feel like I know him but yet I've never met him before! My head hurts and my chest feels tight. I hate how he's obviously keeping secrets from everyone and he's holding in his pain. Why? Is it because he doesn't want the others to worry about him? Or is it because he believes that he can handle it on your own? I want to know why... Nii-san. "Nii-san"? W-Why did I call him that? Wait..Have I called him by anything before? Satoru-san? Satoru-kun? Jin-san? Onii-san? I-I don't understand...But..I feel like..I should repay him but...I don't know why or what I should do.. -Shirabe thought to herself as she walked through the group in front of her and held Jin's hand as she looked up at him with a slightly depressed look on her face as everyone was surprised to see what she did-

Kirika: Shirabe?

Maria: What's wrong, Shirabe?

Shirabe:...I want to know...

Jin: I-I beg your pardon?

Shirabe: Who are you?! -She looked up at Jin as she was tearing up- Why are you doing this to yourself?!

Jin: S-Shirabe..

Maria: W-What is she talking about, Jin?

Jin: I-I don't know..

Shirabe: Every time I look at you, I just get headaches and flashes in my head! My chest would always hurt too! Your smiles aren't real! You're in pain! You're hiding from someone! From something! I want to know who or what it is! I...I want to help!

Maria: Y-Your smiles aren't real...? -She asked as she turned to look at Jin as he looked at Shirabe with a worried look on his face-

Jin: I-I can't say..

Shirabe: Please! I...I just want to help you...

Jin: Why do you need to help me?

Shirabe: Because! Because...Deep down inside my heart...I believe that you were the one!

Jin: I am the one? W-What do you mean?

-As Shirabe looked up at Jin and was crying, she was the look on Jin's sad look as he gave off the look as if he was going to cry. Shirabe's eyes widened as a flash of a memory appeared in her eyes. In an entrance of a house, she was being held by an adult as she was crying loudly as she was stretching her hand out to a young boy who was trying to reach her but was pulled back by an adult, the boy would scream and yell out the girl's name loudly as he cried as he persistently tried to reach out to the girl. "SHIRABE!" The young boy shouted as there was a clear sight of the boy's face as he had black hair with a pinch of faded blue dye on his hair with a spiky end from the back of his hair that reaches down the back of his neck. The memory would disappear in a second after that as Shirabe looked up at Jin as she began to tear up even more so as she hugged him tightly and cried on his shirt-

Shirabe: We've met...We've met before!

Jin: W-We have..?

-She would look up at him with tears flowing down her cheeks as she was sniffling, she'd nod slowly as she'd then speak out to him-

Shirabe: Yes..I remember you. You were at the old house..You were yelling and screaming, you tried to run out of the house but the lady was holding you back.. -Jin would slowly let go of Shirabe as he took a few steps back after hearing what she said. Soran's eyes widened as he quickly turned his attention to Jin-

Soran: Then we assumed wrong, Jin! We were wrong when we thought she wasn't the one! Kinji must've given us the wrong information then, or he either miscalculated it all.

Jin: T-Tell me! What else do you remember?

Shirabe: I was asleep but I was awake a little when I heard you say this sentence: "Hmm, Tsukuyomi! That's it! Tsukuyomi will be your last name and what about your first name? Something with a good tune...Tune? Tune! Shirabe! Tsukuyomi Shirabe!". -Jin teared up slowly as he heard her speak- When I was taken to the facility and when I met Kiri-chan and Maria, I would recall searching for something or someone!

Kirika: That explains why she would keep disappearing on us after training desu..

Maria: Even sometimes after dinner and lunch too.

Shirabe: I can only remember that far.. I-I'll try to remember a few other things...W-Wait..

Jin: No..

Shirabe: Eh? N-No?

Jin: Don't force yourself anymore. What you said is enough to convince me that you're actually the Shirabe that I've been looking for, for years..

Shirabe: I-I'm...Back!

Jin: Welcome back, Shirabe. -He said with a soft heartwarming smile on his face as Shirabe cried and ran up to Jin and hugged him once more as he too would hug her back as he cried softly. As Maria watched the two, she was shocked to see what was going on but when she noticed the two were crying with tears of joy, she'd smile softly and thought to herself. "It's good to see that you've found what you've been looking for this whole time, Jin." As the others were watching Shirabe and Jin, Soran turned his attention to Maria and saw that Maria was getting teared up a little as she wiped her tears off with her hands-

Soran: I guess you've made your choice, huh? -He quietly said to himself about Maria-

Shirabe: W-What should I call you?

Jin: A-Anything you want..

Kirika: "Darling"! -She would then get hit on the head by Maria- Ow desu!

Maria: You had to ruin the moment!

Shirabe: Then I'll go with something simple, Nii-san~ -Jin would smile and cry in tears as he would lightly put his lips on Shirabe's forehead and hugged her as she'd blush madly and smiled happily as she hugged him back-

-At the back, Soran would turn around to speak to Ayumu-

Ayumu: I think I have found the answer to this.

Soran: Me too.

Ayumu: Jin-san's powers went over its limit when he brought her back to life through its time-travelling healing and he managed to bring back her memories when she was a baby.

Soran: In exchange of loosing the moments he had with her before she died, huh? Diablos has some messed up power..

Ayumu: Yet it seems oddly satisfying to watch the two now.

Soran: Yeah, you're right. They don't seem tense or obsessive like before too.

Ayumu: How is Maria-san holding out?

Soran: She's fine, in fact, she's feeling happy about herself and the two.

Ayumu: What makes you say that?

Soran: Because her tears aren't sadness, but happiness.

Shirabe: Nii-san, why did you put on a fake smile?

Jin: So you found out, huh?

Shirabe: I had the feeling that you were keeping secrets so tell me why. Let it all out so that I can help you.

Jin: Well uh..L-Let's just say that I wanted to change myself for you and for everyone else here in this base too. On that very day when I saw you get stabbed in front of my very eyes, I blamed myself for causing so much trouble for you and Maria and everyone else.

Shirabe: W-What are you saying?

Jin: Last time, before you died, you were much more different. You only saw me and just me, which scared me in a way and scared everyone else too.

Shirabe: I-I'm sorry..

Jin: No, I'm sorry for making you suffer so much.. And you too Maria, I'm so sorry..

Maria: It's all in the past, just let it go, Jin.

Jin: But I..

Maria: Besides, I'm not the one you should be paying attention to.

-Jin would turn his head to look at Shirabe's face up close as the two blushed at the sight of their faces being close up to each other but Shirabe held onto Jin's hand tightly as she turned back to look at him as she was blushing out of being nervous-

Shirabe: W-What was I? W-When I was with you..

Jin: One word. Girlfriend.

Shirabe: Eh? Eh?! -Her eyes widened as she blushed madly as steam could be seen coming out of her head- G-G-Girlfriend?! B-But we're siblings! I-It's bad!

Jin: On paper, we're siblings but not by blood and name.

Shirabe: T-Then...Well..I want to tell you something..

Jin: What is it?

Shirabe: I... -She then noticed that she was being watched by the others as she got even more embarrassed- Actually no! T-That can wait! I'll tell you some other time!

Jin: Shirabe. If you won't say it then I'll say it.

Shirabe: Eh? -Jin would put his hands on her cheeks as he set his forehead on her and closed his eyes as he spoke to her softly-

Jin: I love you.

Shirabe: -Her eyes widened as her whole face turned completely red as she nodded after hearing what he said as she held her hands and looked down out of embarrassment as she had skipped multiple heartbeats in that one second from the confession- N-Nii-san..

Jin: Hmm?

Shirabe: L-Let's go home..

Jin: Sure thing.

-The two would hold hands as they both walked out of the arena and went out of the base-

Soran: A fresh restart for the two, huh?

Kirika: Maria, a-are you all right desu?

Maria: Huh? Y-Yeah! Oh yeah, I'm fine. I'm just...Really happy that he's happy.

Hibiki: Maria-san..

Miku: M-Maria-san, let's go have dinner together!

Maria: Eh? D-Dinner?

Soran: Can I come?

Miku: You're always welcome to join us~

Ayumu: Why don't we all go?

Hibiki: Oh that's a great idea! Let's invite Chris-chan and Kanade-san too!

Soran: I wouldn't invite those two along with Takanashi.

Hibiki: Why not?

Soran: Things would get awkward if Takanashi joined us and Yukine and Amou have been in the office for the past few days now and are restless there too, so let's leave them be for now.

Hibiki: Buu, then I'll call Tsubasa-san and Ao-kun then~

Ayumu: I'll let Carol and Elf-chan know too!

-Back in Jin and Shirabe's apartment. As the two reached back home together, Shirabe would walk in front of Jin as she pulled his hand downwards to her as she would lightly kiss him on the cheek-

Shirabe: I-I love you, Nii-san..!

Jin: Hehe~ That felt more embarrassing than it should be~

Shirabe: Nii-san..? C-Can I ask for something?

Jin: Sure, what is it? -Shirabe said nothing as she blushed and looked downwards as she'd then close her eyes and pointed her lips at him as Jin's eyes widened at what she was doing as he'd then thought to himself- "Ah, that's right, she's always been quite bold, even before she changed last time. This is normal for me after all." -He'd smile as he got down to her and held her up to his arms as he carried her and kissed her lips softly as Shirabe wrapped her arms around his neck as the two kissed with their eyes closed-

"I love you, Shirabe."

"I love you even more, Nii-san!"

-Back in the Spiritual Realm, Kinji opened his eyes as he woke up and was lying down on Spirit Chris' lap. He'd slowly get up and sat beside as Chris leaned on Kinji's shoulder as the two looked up into the clear sky-

Chris: I guess you saw something good?

Kinji: Yup. A fresh new restart for my man.

Did you know that Shirabe had fallen for Jin the very moment she awoken in front of his very eyes when he revived her? Because of those memories that she has from her past with him as a baby, she felt closer to Jin as she also felt an understanding for him as she wanted to know him more than before but she was unsure if he was the boy that she saw in her memory. Jin still carries his sin on him but his sin will be his new shield as he will change himself to be a better person for his true love, Tsukuyomi Shirabe.
