Kamen Rider W: Music of Memory G
Case 6: The Place I Call Home
It was morning in the city of Fuuto.
Inside the Sonozaki mansion, Wakana was seen walking down the stairs but the moment she arrived at the end of the stairs she saw her father, Ryubee, waiting for her.
"Good morning, Wakana. Did you sleep well?" Ryubee asked.
"Good morning, Otou-sama. And yes I did." Wakana told him. She was about the walk to the door but Ryubee got in her way. "I-Is there something wrong?"
"Oh no. I just happened to find this yesterday." Ryubee said as he showed her the Claydoll Memory.
"Oh...sorry, I must have misplaced it." Wakana said while sounding a little nervous.
"Don't worry, it's fine. But you need to take better care of this." Ryubee told his daughter as he grabbed onto her hand and placed the Gold Memory in it. "You shouldn't forget that this was my gift to you, and that our family are the only ones who can use these Gold Memories."
Wakana looks at the Claydoll Memory and remembers Philip and her brother's words to her before she nodded and put the Gold Memory in her purse.
"Of course. I'm sorry again, I'll take better care of it." Wakana told him.
"That's all I needed to hear." Ryubee said with a smile before he stepped aside and let his youngest daughter leave as she left the mansion.
Now that she was gone, Ryubee shook his head as he sighs.
"That girl. To think she would drop her Memory like that. I wonder if he had something to do with." Ryubee said in wonder. "Oh well, it doesn't matter right now. It just means I need to keep a better eye on her and that son of mine."
(Bloody Stream by Coda)
(Instrumental)
Mitsuki and Philip are seen walking together, Mitsuki putting on his hat and Philip closing his book, and they pointed at the screen before the title appears in front of them.
(Shijima no soko kara…)
Mitsuki is in his office going through his case files, before Kanade handed him a cup of coffee that he happily accepted.
(Mezameru sono hashiratachi toki wo koe…)
Philip was having his usual interesting research moment as he was writing on his whiteboards, before he accidentally wrote on Chris's face as she was walking towards him, Philip flinched before Chris slaps on his face. Then images of their friends and allies appeared one at a time.
(Shinku no chishio ga…)
Ryu is seen looking at his Accel Memory before he walks forward.
(Tachiagaru yuuki wo hikiawaseru!)
W, Accel, Hibiki, Tsubasa, and Chris are seen surrounded by Noise before they turn to each other and nodded before they charge at the Noise battling against them.
(Uketsugu ai wo sadame to yobu nara!)
The mysterious Shroud is seen walking in a dark alley before she turns to the screen showing her white bandage covered face with black sunglasses.
(Hohoemu me de tsugi no te wo…)
The Nephilim is in its cage with Ver looking at with an evil grin before the Nephilim roars. Then images of the Kamen Riders and Symphogear users' enemies appear one at a time, before finally showing Ryubee looking above the Gaia Well.
(Yami wo azamuite setsuna wo kawashite! Yaiba surinuke yatusra no suki wo tsuke!)
Shirabe wearing her black Symphogear armor fires from her head compartments, then to Kirika swinging her scythe around and finally to Maria wielding her lance as she uses her HORIZON†SPEAR attack.
(Tsuranuita omoi ga mirai wo hiraku!)
The three black Symphogear users are standing atop a stone pillar looking down upon W, Accel, Hibiki, Tsubasa, and Chris as they get ready for battle. Then an image of a younger Maria reaching out to her sister Serena appears, and then shows the present day Maria looking at Airgetlám in sadness before a teardrop falls from her eye and onto the pendent.
(Like a Bloody Storm atsuku Like a Bloody Stone! Ketsumyaku ni kizamareta innen ni…)
W in his Cyclone-Joker Form is seen doing some kicks and punches as he was spinning around, and changes into his Heat-Metal swinging his Metal Shaft around, and soon changes to his Luna-Trigger firing with his Trigger Magnum, and changes to his Fang-Joker attacking with his Arm Saber, and the final spin shows W in a new and unknown form.
(Ukiagaru kienai hokori no kizuna nigirishimete!)
Now both Kamen Riders and Symphogear users alike are seen standing side by side as the Nephilim in its final form looking down at them, as the floating city the Frontier raises to the moon.
Today was now Lydian's school festival, as the students' family, friends, and guests were walking to the school grounds they were seen enjoying the food stands and games runned by the students.
In another part of the school Hibiki is seen watching the people from on top of a balcony, and walking to her was Miku as she calls out her name.
"Hibiki!" Hibiki turns to her childhood friend.
"Miku, what's wrong?" Hibiki asked.
"What do you mean 'what's wrong'? Itaba-san and everyone's performance is about to start." Miku told her, and Hibiki was surprised to hear that as she had forgotten about that.
"It is already that time?" Hibiki asked.
"Let's go." Miku said as she grabbed onto her hand. "I'm sure it'll be fun."
"Yeah. Thanks, Miku." Hibiki said before they headed to the auditorium.
Unknown to them is that two familiar girls were watching them as they followed them in hiding.
Visiting the festival on the school grounds were Mitsuki, Philip, and Kanade as they were walking through the food and game stands in the area.
"Man they sure put up all the spots on this festival." Mitsuki said as he took a bite of his taiyaki.
"That is true. But I find this strangely appealing and fun." Philip said as he ate a piece of takoyaki from his paper bowl and used his tooth pick.
"With you on that. Makes me wish that I was still a student." Kanade said with a cup of soda in her hand as she was a little envious.
"Oh yeah, you didn't get the chance to come here because you lost your singing voice." Mitsuki said.
"Yep...but hey, it's all good. Right now I'm having a lot of fun with you two." Kanade said with a smile and Mitsuki smiles back at her.
"Well I'm glad to hear that then." Mitsuki said.
Philip chuckles before he frowns as he remembers his talk with Genjuro.
(Flashback)
Philip was alone in the hangar in the Agency as he was talking with Genjuro on his Stag Phone.
"What? You want me to keep an eye on Sonozaki Wakana?" Genjuro said.
"That's right. I know this is a lot to ask for, but it would really mean a lot for me." Philip told him.
"Well before I agree on this. Is there any reason why you want me to do this?" Genjuro asked.
"Well...It's mostly because I want to clear a suspicion of mine." Philip answered.
"A suspicion? Of what?" Genjuro asked.
"It was the fact that Wakana-san somehow knew what Gaia Memories are." Philip told him, and Genjuro was surprised to hear that.
"What? Are you serious?" Genjuro asked.
"I do." Philip nodded. "She told me she didn't have a Gaia Memory, but even though I want to believe her, there was another fact I can't ignore."
"And what's that?" Genjuro asked.
"It was the fact that her older sister, Sonozaki Saeko had a Gold Memory and a Gaia Driver." Philip told him as he looked at his whiteboards as it had pictures of the Sonozaki sisters which had circles around them and lines connected to some circles with words in them.
For Wakana, she had a line that connects to the words 'Gaia Memory?' and 'Museum'.
For Saeko, she had lines that connect to the words, 'Taboo', 'Gaia Driver', and 'Museum'.
Genjuro was once surprised to hear that.
"Are you sure about that?" Genjuro asked.
"I saw her transform right before my eyes, and it was the same Dopant on the day Mitsuki and Narumi-san saved me from Museum." Philip told him.
"So what you're saying is that it's possible that the Sonozaki family might be connected to Museum somehow." Genjuro said.
"Well it's mostly just speculations and guesses. But if Mitsuki had taught me anything, is that a good detective should always trust their gut." Philip said.
Genjuro hummed before he gave his answer.
"Alright, I'll send some agents to keep an eye on the Sonozaki family. But if anything happens, I'm gonna pull them out. I hope you understand." Genjuro told him.
"That's fine. You just need to protect your subordinates from any danger. But thanks for doing this." Philip said. "Also will it be alright that we keep this between us for now?"
"It's no problem. And that's fine by me." Genjuro told him.
"Thank you. Oh and before I forget, can you look something up for me?" Philip asked.
"Sure. What is it?" Genjuro asked.
"Well...Apparently, Wakana-san had a younger brother but he passed away when he was very young. I was hoping you would find some details about him, like what his name was, and how he died." Philip told him.
"Why would you need to know that?" Genjuro asked.
"It's...to help clear another suspicion of mine." Philip told him, and Genjuro hummed as he thought about it.
"Alright, if it can help then I'll find out what I can about that."
"Thanks, Genjuro-san." Philip said before he hangs up and looks at the pictures of the Sonozaki sisters before he looks at two words below it.
Below Wakana, is the words 'Decease younger brother'.
Below Saeko, is the words 'She called me, Raito'.
The two words were connected with a question mark between them.
Ever since that Wakana had told Philip about her younger brother it really got him thinking, and there was also the fact that Saeko had called him Raito, like she knew him before he lost his memories.
"Just how is this connected…" Philip mutters to himself.
(End of flashback)
Philip was looking down to the ground as his friends called out to him.
"Philip? Oi, Philip."
"Hello! Earth to Philip!"
Philip was snapped out of his train of thought as he turned to his friends who looked a little concerned for him.
"You alright? You've been spacing out for a while." Mitsuki stated.
"Oh really? Sorry, I was just thinking about something. Don't mind me." Philip stated as he went back to eating his takoyaki. But his friends weren't all that convinced by that as they whispered to each other.
"He's been like this for a while now. I'm really starting to worry." Kanade stated quietly.
"Yeah, but it's not like this was the first time this happened. Best to give him some time until he's ready to open up." Mitsuki told her quietly.
"I guess that's true but still…" Kanade said.
As Philip was now done with his takoyaki, he soon spotted two familiar figures, a blonde and black hair girl as they walked to another part of the school's grounds.
"Wait, wasn't that…" Philip mutters which got his friends' attention.
"Philip, is something wrong?" Mitsuki asked.
"Oh nothing. You guys go on ahead, I need to go use the bathroom." Philip said as he headed to where the familiar girls went as he threw his empty bowl to a nearby trash can as his friends watched him leave.
"I swear that guy…" Mitsuki sighs as he rubs the back of his neck, and Kanade chuckles.
Hibiki and Miku were seated beside each other as they were now in the auditorium on some private seats preserved for them, along with several people as other students were going to perform a singing competition for them.
Hibiki was looking around the area because they were also waiting for their friends to arrive.
"I wonder what's taking Mitsuki-kun and the others so long." Hibiki said.
"Don't worry, I'm sure they'll be here." Miku assured her.
"Hey," Both girls looked and saw Mitsuki and Kanade walking to them. "Sorry, to keep you two waiting."
Mitsuki and Kanade sit down beside them.
"It's alright. But wait…" Hibiki said as she noticed that Philip wasn't with them. "Where's Philip-kun?"
"Well, he said he needed to use the bathroom and told us to go without him." Kanade explains as she rubs the back of her head.
"That's a shame. He's really going to miss out on some nice songs too." Miku said.
"Don't worry, I'm sure he'll be here...Maybe…" Mitsuki said as he wasn't too sure himself knowing Philip's personality.
"Oh look they're starting." Hibiki said as they now saw Yumi, Kuriyo, and Shiori walking on stage, and the three of them were wearing cosplay outfits from Yumi's favorite anime.
Yumi was wearing a male superhero outfit with a helmet with a visor and a red police siren on the top and has a badge with the letter 'B' on the scarf around her neck, Shiori was wearing a purple leather outfit with a mask, hat, and cat ears along with a tail, while Kuriyo was wearing a humanoid mantis outfit holding two mantis blade props in her hands but was little embarrassed to be wearing it as her cheeks were a little red.
Mitsuki and Kanade chuckles to see them wearing those outfits.
"Now, first up, we have a trio from the first-year students!" The announcer told them through her mic. "If they win, they'll get one wish that the student council has the power to grant. What will they wish for?"
"Naturally, the establishment of an anime song club!" Yumi told them through her mic. "My ambitions and legends will all begin there!"
The audience cheered to give her support which made her smile as she waved to them.
"That's great. She's completely in character." Shiori said, while Kuriyo sighs.
"At this point, I don't even care…" She mutters.
"Okay, let's have them sing! The theme song of the TV anime Lightning Detective Van, the Lighting Detective Arrives."
The music begins as the trio is ready to sing.
"Carrying the sadness of those who weep beneath the shining sun, he comes to defeat evil! Howl...Lightning Detective arrives!" Yumi declared.
"You know that almost sounds like someone we know, right?" Kanade asked, and Hibiki and Miku nodded in agreement as they were looking at Mitsuki.
"What?" Mitsuki asked in confusion as he wasn't sure what she meant by that.
Yumi starts the song off as she sings and points her finger forward.
"Kimi kara todoita hyakutō-ban,"
"kinkyū shutsudō." Shiori sings.
"Mune ni ereki hashirinukete," Kuriyo sings.
"shibireru ze!" They sang together, and as they were singing Mitsuki, Kanade, Hibiki, and Miku had a nervous smile on their faces as they were a little worried.
"Ikaku ni todomaranai!"
"Chaku burasutā!"
"Honboshi nigasanai!"
"Sherifu wappā!"
"Aribai kuzusu deka no chokkan shokatsu wa chikyū!" Yumi sings as she points her finger up, but shortly after that the ball rings to signal that they were now disqualified. "Eh?! We haven't even sung the full chorus yet…The second verse lyrics will make you cry!"
Saying causes a certain Imagin on a train to sneeze as he is sleeping before he looks around the area.
"Why?!" Yumi said in dismay, while the audience laughed in amusement before she fell on her knees and her friends walked to her to cheer her up.
Hibiki and Kanade were laughing in amusement, while Mitsuki and Miku were looking at Hibiki.
"It's great to see Hibiki smiling like that again." Mitsuki whispers to Miku, and she nodded in agreement.
"Yeah. I really do want Hibiki to laugh like she always does...That's who I think she really is." Miku said as she smiled.
(Meanwhile)
The girls that Philip had spotted were none other than Shirabe and Kirika who were wearing glasses to disguise themselves from their enemies.
After losing track of Hibiki and Miku, they were now seen walking on the school grounds enjoying some takoyaki, well Kirika said with a smile on her face as she was looking at her friend.
"This is fun, isn't it? Everything tastes so good!" Kirika said as she ate a piece of her takoyaki, but Shirabe was staring at her as she said.
"Stare…"
Kirika flinches before she turns back to her.
"What is it, Shirabe?" Kiriki asked.
Shortly after finishing their Takoyaki, Kirika and Shirabe were now in another area of the school with no sign of students or guests around them.
"Our mission isn't to enjoy the school fair, Kiri-chan." Shirabe told her partner.
"I-I know that. This is part of our investigation!" Kirika told her.
"Investigation?" Shirabe repeated, and Kirika shrugged and said.
"Everyone is drawn to delicious food." Kirika said before she brought out the school's festival map which was given to her. "By completing a map of the school's good food, we can narrow down our list of targets."
Shirabe blinks before she pouts and leans towards her friend to glare closely at her face.
"Don't worry. It'll be fine. I haven't forgotten our task, even for a second." Kirika said as she remembers why she and Shirabe are here in the first place.
(Flashback)
On the day their hideout was discovered, and they were forced to retreat on their tiltrotor, Dr. Ver was giving his explanation to Maria, Kirika, and Shirabe.
"It's a fact that when we lost our hideout, the food we need for Nephilim's growth, the relic fragments, was taken to Section 2. But we only had a few left that we brought from home. We were going to need more soon, anyway." Dr. Ver told them.
"If you knew that, then you've already devised a plan?" Maria asked, and Ver smirks.
"Calling it a 'plan' is overstating it…These days," Dr. Ver said as he looked at the pendants on Kirika and Shirabe's neck. "There are relic fragments everywhere."
"You can't mean to feed it these pendants." Shirabe said in worry.
"Of course not!" Dr. Ver said as he raised his hands. "We can't lose the Gears that comprise a significant part of our combat strength."
"Then I'll take their Symphogears." Maria said.
"You can't do that!" Kirika said, which surprised Maria as she turned to her and Shirabe.
"That's right." Shirabe said in agreement as she stood up. "Each time you use your power, Finé's soul awakens more. That means she's erasing your own soul. That cannot happen."
"You two…" Maria said before she lowered her head.
"Then what will you do?" Dr. Ver asked, and Kirika stood up beside Shirabe.
"We'll do it. Protecting Maria is our fight!" Kirika said and Shirabe nodded in agreement.
(End of flashback)
"Or so I said…" Kirika sighs as she leans on a tree with her hands behind her head. "But what do we do?"
"I see. So that's what's going on here."
Both girls flinched before they turned to the tree behind Kirika as they saw Philip walking out of hiding behind it.
"You again? What are you doing here?" Kirika asked.
"I could say the same about you two, Kirika-chan, Shirabe-chan." Philip said which surprised the black Symphogear users.
"Wait? How do you know our names?" Shirabe asked in suspicion.
"Oh well that's simple, it's because we've met a few more times." Philip answered.
"We did?" Kirika blinks in confusion.
Philip brought out his Cyclone Memory and pressed on its button.
CYCLONE
Hearing that and seeing the Gaia Memory in his hand, which made the black Symphogear users realize who Philip really is.
"Wait...you're W?!" Kirika gasped.
"Well technically I'm one half of W, but yes." Philip told them.
Both Shirabe and Kirika quality jumped back away from Philip as they were ready to fight.
"Then why are you here? If you're planning on capturing us then we'll be forced to defend ourselves." Shirabe stated.
"Yeah!" Kirika said in agreement.
Fang appears as he jumps onto Philip's shoulder as he growls at the black Symphogear users to defend his master.
Both girls were surprised to see the living Memory before Philip scratched Fang's head to calm him down.
"Calm down, Fang, there's no reason to be hostile." Philip told his Gaia Memory before he turned back to the girls. "And to answer your question. That mostly depends on you two. Are you here to cause any trouble?"
Both girls blink before they answer.
"N-No…"
"Then I guess there's nothing to worry about. As long as you're not planning on causing trouble or to pick a fight, then I see no reason to tell my friends about you." Philip told them, and both Shirabe and Kirika were a little surprised to hear that. "Well anyway, I should head back to where my friends are. Be sure to enjoy the festival you two."
Philip then leaves before he stops and turns back to the black Symphogear users.
"Also I don't know where you got the idea from. But the glasses make for poor disguises. If you wanted it to be convincing, you should have worn a hat or change your hair" Philip said as he left.
"Kiri-chan…" Shirabe glares at her friend and Kirika flinches as she waved her hands.
"Sorry, we'll try a hat with glasses next time!" Kirika said.
"Oh Tsu-chan!" Both girls turned back to Philip as he was running towards Tsubasa as he just spotted the blue haired girl.
"Philip? What are you doing here?" Tsubasa asked as the bookworm stopped her.
"Oh...Well…" Philip started which made both Kirika and Shirabe worried if he was going to tell them. "I just got done using the bathroom...but I'm afraid I might have gotten a little lost." He nervously chuckles as he rubs the back of his head.
"I see…" Tsubasa blinks.
Both Shirabe and Kirika sighed in relief.
"Kiri-chan, this is our chance. Let's get them." Shirabe said as she was about to run to capture Philip and Tsubasa, but Kirika stopped her as she grabbed onto her and pulled back behind the tree.
"We don't have a plan and I'm not ready, either. It's too soon!" Kirika told her.
Fang quietly growls at his master, getting his attention as the living Memory pointed at the tree Shirabe and Kirika were hiding behind. Philip understood Fang and concluded that those two might be coming up with a plan to capture Tsubasa and steal her pendant, but he wasn't going to let that happen.
"Anyway, Tsu-chan, we should probably head to the auditorium now. We don't want to keep our friends waiting." Philip said as he grabbed onto Tsubasa's shoulders and pushed her forward to where the auditorium was.
"Wait, Philip, what are you-?" Tsubasa started before Philip pushed her some more, and while Kirika and Shirabe began to follow behind them in hiding as they saw Philip turning his head at them and sticking his tongue out.
"That guy…" Kirika quietly growls and Shirabe pouts before Philip turns away from them.
'Don't hold this against me, you two. I said I won't tell anyone that you're here, doesn't mean I won't protect my friends. There's a difference.' Philip thought.
Tsubasa then manages to stop Philip from pushing before she turns around as Kirika and Shirabe hide as she could sense that someone was following them.
"Philip, is there someone following us?" Tsubasa asked.
"Nope." Philip said before he chuckled and waved his hand. "It's probably just your imagination. Just your mind playing tricks on you, in the fear that someone's stalking you. I mean, you are a top idol after all."
"You might be right but still…" Tsubasa said as she wasn't convinced by that.
"What do we do? There's no way we can just grab her pendant without her noticing." Kirika said.
"Then we'll take it by force." Shirabe said as she grabbed onto her pendant.
Fang saw it before he quietly growled at Philip, and he understood that they might be up to something.
"Come on, Tsu-chan, let's just not worry about this right now. We don't want to keep our friends waiting." Philip said as he grabbed onto her shoulders and forced her to walk forward.
"Philip...Alright, fine you win." Tsubasa sighs. "And you don't have to keep pushing me. I can walk by myself."
As they were walking and while they weren't looking, Chris is seen running out of a room in front of them before they bump into each other and fall to the ground together.
"Ow…" Chris mutters.
"Chris-chan?" Philip asked, a little surprised to see her here.
"Again, Yukine? What's the hurry?" Tsubasa asked.
"They're chasing me! They're narrowing their condon, little by little." Chris told them before she noticed Philip was with Tsubasa. "Wait a minute? What are you two doing together?"
"We just met up here. But you noticed it, as well, Yukine? I just felt like someone was watching me." Tsubasa said as they stood back up.
"Tsu-chan, I keep telling you that's just your mind playing tricks on you." Philip told her, but Philip was in deep thought on what Chris said.
'But still, what Chris-chan told us has me worried. I could've sworn they said that Maria-san was sitting this out. But wait, could they have brought someone from Museum here too?' Philip thought in worry.
"They noticed us?" Kirika said in worry.
"We found you, Yukine-san!" They looked and saw three students running to Philip, Tsubasa, and Chris.
Chris flinches to see them, and while Tsubasa and Philip blinks before Fang jumps off of his shoulder to run and hide, as the three students stop in front of them.
"Please...There's no time before it starts!"
This made everyone wonder what they were talking about.
After the next contestant has finished her song, the audience claps before the spotlight shines down upon the announcer.
"Now, here's our next challenger!" She said as she pointed her hand backstage.
The challenger was standing still in hiding as she didn't want to come out, before someone gave her a push as she stumbled forward on stage, and Mitsuki, Kanade, Hibiki, and Miku were surprised when they saw who it was.
"Hibiki, is that…" Miku said.
"No way!" Hibiki gasped.
"Now this is something I didn't expect to see." Kanade said.
"With you on that." Mitsuki said in agreement as they all saw that it was Chris.
"It's Yukine." They looked and saw Tsubasa and Philip sitting down beside them.
"Philip, where have you been?" Mitsuki asked his partner.
"Sorry, I took a while. I might have gotten a little side tracked getting here." Philip said as he rubs the back of his head before Fang jumps onto his shoulder before they turn back to Chris.
"Yukine Chris, second-year student at Lydian Music Academy." Tsubasa told them.
Chris was a little reluctant to stand on this stage which made some of her friends a little worried.
"Chris-chan…" Hibiki mutters.
"Oh boy, I hope she doesn't have stage fright." Kanade said.
Chris then turned to her three classmates who were standing backstage and they encouraged her to sing.
She then turns to the audience in front of her and sees Philip seated among their friends as he gives her a supporting smile, telling her she can do this.
(Cue: Kyoshitsu Monochrome)
"Dareka ni te wo sashinobete moratte"
"Itami to wa chigatta itami wo shiru"
She was singing in a kind and warm tone, which had the audience and her friends in awe to hear that.
"Monokurōmu no mirai yosōzu"
"Enogu wo sagashite… demo ima wa"
"Naze darō, naze darō"
"Irodzuku yo yukkuri to hana ga niji ni"
"Hokotte saku mitai ni"
As she was singing, she remembered the day she transferred to her class as she nervously introduced herself to her classmates, then there was that one time where they offered to have lunch with her but Chris sadly rejected the offer as she left and ate the bento Philip made her alone.
"Hōkago no chaimu ni majitta kaze ga fukinukeru"
"Kanjita koto nai igokochi no yosa ni mada tomadotteru yo"
"Nē konna sora ga takai to"
"Egao ga ne…kakusenai"
Chris sings with a brought smile on her face, as she remembers doing singing practice with her classmates, and while they were singing they notice the smile on Chris' face which caused her face to turn red and hide it behind her music book.
She then remembers how they convinced her to do this in the first place.
(Flashback)
"What's going on?" Tsubasa asked.
"Yeah, what do you need Chris-chan for?" Philip asked.
"We want Yukine-san to perform in the singing competition."
"Oh I see now." Philip said to understand.
"Why would I?" Chris asked.
"Because when you sing, you look like you're having so much fun."
"And you do make a lovely smile while doing it." Philip said and Tsubasa nodded in agreement.
Hearing that surprised Chris as her cheeks turned red.
(End of flashback)
"Waratte mo ī kana"
"Yurushite moraeru no kana"
"Atashi wa atashi no"
"Seīppai, seīppai…"
"Kokoro kara, kokoro kara…"
"Aru ga mama ni"
"Utatte mo ī no kana…!"
As Chris sings, the images of her friends smiling at her appear one at a time. Shirabe and Kirika were seated among the audience and they were in awe of Chris' singing.
(Flashback)
"Do you not like to sing?" Tsubasa asked.
Chris' face blushed before she turned away from her.
"I…" Chris mutters before she notices Philip had grabbed hold of her hand as she turns to him, while her classmates were looking in awe by that.
"Chris-chan, it's alright to be honest with yourself." Philip told her, and Chris looks down as her face blushes some more.
(End of flashback)
"Taiyō ga kyōshitsu e to sasu hikari ga mabushikatta"
"Yukidoke no yō ni nazeka namida ga afurete tomaranai yo"
"Konna konna attakainda…"
"Atashi no kaeru basho"
"Atashi no kaeru basho"
Chris then imagines herself dancing while wearing a white dress and with a bright smile on her face.
She then imagines herself sitting on a field filled with flowers as her friends were watching her from a distance, and as the wind blows on the flowers scattering their petals around her, she saw her classmates appearing in front of her one at a time smiling at her and she smiles back at them.
Then Philip appeared in front of Chris as he reached his hand out to her, and she smiled as she accepted his hand as Philip helped her stand up and they runned forward together while holding hands.
As she had finished her song, the audience began to cheer and clapped for her.
'This is fun...I didn't know I could have so much fun singing.' Chris thought before she bows to the audience. 'I see now…'
Her friends and the Fang Memory were clapping as they really liked her song. Hell, even Shirabe and Kirika were clapping as well which was surprising for them.
'This must be a place where I can belong!' Chris thought as she turned to her classmates as they congratulated on a job well done. 'A place to call my home.'
"We have a new singing competition champion!" The announcer said as the spotlight sang on Chris, which really surprised her before the announcer ran behind her. "Who'll be our next challenger? No need to register!"
When she said that, Mitsuki and Philip turned at each other before they nodded.
"We'll do it!" Mitsuki and Philip call out as they stand up and the spotlight lights up above them, and their friends are surprised by this as well.
Mitsuki and Philip were now standing on the stage as they faced the audience in front of them with a mic in their hand.
"Hello, everyone, today we like to dedicate this song to Fuuto, the city that we live and love." Philip told them through his mic.
"Fuuto may be a city with darkness and can be a little crazy. But it's still our home, and where there is darkness there will always be light in the end. And we're gonna share this song to both you and to the city." Mitsuki told them through his mic.
(Cue: Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town by THE DU)
The music begins with the start of a jazz tone before the two detectives begin to sing.
"Surechigatteku kao no nai shisen! Mune no ana ga kaetetta nichijō!" Mitsuki sings.
"Kyōkai nante naku deau atarimae no kimyō U Yea!" Philip sings and then both detectives sing together.
"Itsumo dōri no asa ga uwatsura de warau"
"Shōtai fumei no mama hikareru misuterī"
"Hajimari mo iwazu jitto hisonderu kono machi no dokoka"
"Dakedo kyō mo jōjō ni monku nanka iiatte nichijō o odoru"
"Kureijī Noijī Bizāru Taun"
They looked for a moment to pause as the music played while the audience were in awe by their singing.
"Shinaru yumi ga ayashiku uranau!" Mitsuki sings.
"Tsuranuku ya de tamesu kanōsei!" Philip sings.
"Ryōkai nante nai umareru sainō ni kikunda U Yea!" Mitsuki sings, before they sing together.
"Okubyō wo kakushin wa chinmoku wo yaburu"
"Migatte na kurai ni musubareru Desutini"
"Sugu soba ni iru ze jitto me wo kogorasu, kono machi no kehai"
"Dakedo kyō mo jōjō ni jōku nanka ii atte"
"Ore-tachi de odore"
"Kureijī Noijī Bizāru Taun"
They paused once again as the music played. Before Mitsuki said.
"Hey, everyone! Don't just watch, sing with us!" Mitsuki told them and while they were surprised by that, they eventually sang along with them.
"Dakedo kyō mo jōjō ni monku nanka iiatte nichijō o odoru!" Everyone sang as they began to clap with Mitsuki and Philip.
"Kureijī Noijī Bizāru Taun!" Their friends minus Kanade, and even Shirabe and Kirika sang as well.
"Dakedo kyō mo jōjō ni jōku nanka iiatte!"
"Ore-tachi de odore!"
"Kureijī Noijī Bizāru Taun!"
And with that the song was done as Mitsuki and Philip stop singing as they do W's signature pose as they pointed at the audience with their backs against each other.
The audience soon began to cheer and clap for them, their friends and Shirabe and Kirika included and the black Symphogear users were surprised they were clapping as well.
"Thank you. Thank you. You're all too kind." Mitsuki said as he and Philip bowed their heads before some of the female students shouted.
"Please be my boyfriend!"
"Go out with me!"
"Marry me! Please!"
Both Mitsuki and Philip were a little flattered to hear that before they saw their friends giving them a narrow look which causes them to sweat drop as they nervously chuckle.
The announcer then walks to the stage as she looks at the audience.
"Anyway, now that these two are done. Is there anyone else who would like to challenge the champion?" She asked.
"We will." Said a familiar blond girl said as she raised her hand as the spotlight shines on top of her and her friend, before she and her friend stand up.
Mitsuki, Philip, and their friends saw it was Shirabe and Kirika as they stood up and removed their glasses which was a surprising sight for them.
"Those girls are…" Mitsuki said.
"I didn't see this coming. I wonder if our song inspire them." Philip stated and Mitsuki turned to his partner.
"Wait, you knew they were here?" Mitsuki asked in shock.
"Yeah, I just met them earlier. They said they weren't here to cause trouble, so I didn't say anything. Was that wrong?" Philip asked and Mitsuki sighs as he shook his head.
"Philip, I swear…" Mitsuki mutters.
"We also want to…" Shirabe started.
"Challenge the champion." Kirika finished.
"Well...so much for them saying they're not here to cause trouble." Philip said as he scratched his finger on his cheek.
