Volume 19, Chapter 5: The Land of Beginning

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Part 1

Sunday, September 19

Koutarou and the others headed through the forest, relying on the information sent to them from the modified automated weapons. The group proceeded with Koutarou and Theia, and Shizuka and Ruth in the front and rear to make it easier for them to react to any surprise attacks. The others were lined up between them, with Yurika in the middle of their ranks. Yurika would sometimes catch glimpses of Kiriha's back.

She really is amazing... if she wasn't here, what would have happened...

Yurika stared at Kiriha's back and thought to herself that she was really happy that Kiriha was on her side. Kiriha's brain had turned the tables several times during these chain of events. Kiriha was most likely the most dangerous person to Darkness Rainbow. While there were many among them who were skilled at fighting, magic or science, nobody was a match for Kiriha's brains. Clan would be the runner-up, but in her case she was biased towards knowledge and inventions, and wasn't on Kiriha's level overall. When it came to finding who one needed to ask to what to resolve something, an overall balance was required. In that sense, Kiriha was the absolute number one.

“What is it, Yurika?”

That was when Kiriha sensed Yurika's glance and turned back towards her. She had her usual calm smile on her face. Just looking at her face, it was hard to believe she had the brains to corner magicians.

“No... uhm, Kiriha-san, if the time comes, I will protect you”

”What now, all of a sudden?”

Kiriha couldn't understand the intention behind Yurika's words and looked at her in confusion.

“I was just thinking that I might be the commander, but you are really the one moving us. Unlike me, there's no replacement for you”

“If you say something like that, Koutarou will scold you. He'd say that there's no replacement for anyone”

Kiriha smiled slightly and indicated Koutarou up the front with her glance. Yurika thought to herself that Koutarou would probably get angry.

“As people that might be true, but... looking at bigger picture during battles, we need you to stay energetic until the end”

Yurika believed that she had no replacements as a person, so she didn't believe it was okay for anyone to die. But when it came to the order of people getting knocked out in a battle, Kiriha should be one of the last. As long as she was fine, the chances of everyone surviving increased. That was what Yurika meant with no replacement.

“Keeping that from happening is my job. But I'm happy you feel that way. Thank you, Yurika”

Kiriha now understood what Yurika meant. But by the time her allies began falling, she had already failed as a general or an advisor. In order to prevent that she needed to come up with various schemes, making sure Yurika didn't have to protect her. That was her job. That said, she was still happy over how Yurika felt. They were words that came from admitting Kiriha's abilities. So Kiriha smiled at Yurika once more.

“No... it's nothing to thank me for...”

”That's not true”

”Uhm... Kiriha-san”

There was something that Yurika wanted to ask the gently smiling Kiriha. Being able to see through anything, she probably had an answer.

“Hm?”

“... Can we win?”

Unable to see what would happen next, Yurika felt anxious. That carried on to her worries for Kiriha's safety. That's why she wanted Kiriha with her excellent brains to say that everything would be fine.

“I wonder...”

However, Kiriha couldn't see the future either. All she could say was that to give it their all.

“However, we have to win. For everyone's sake”

“Yes”

If they worried about losing, they might let their chances of victory go. If they couldn't afford to lose they needed to focus on winning. That was all they could do to create a better future.

“Stay strong. Just focus on winning”

“... Yes, I'll try”

Darkness Rainbow's stronghold was near. The decisive battle that would determine Yurika's fate was ever closing in.

Part 2

Darkness Rainbow's stronghold was within the deepest portion of the forest. To reach it, one had to pass through land filled with spiritual energy and tunnels, making it hard to pursue someone there. In the center of all that was a large castle, and a town full of antique houses nobody was living in anymore surrounded it. Quite some time had passed since the houses were left empty, so they might be more accurately described as ruins. In other words, it was a town still rich in the atmosphere of the initial Folsaria.

“... To think it was in the Land of the Beginning...”

When she looked at the ruins, Maki muttered to herself. Since he hadn't heard that term before, Koutarou asked Maki.

“Aika-san, what is the Land of the Beginning?”

“It's just what it sounds like, this is where Folsaria began”

“From here?”

“Satomi-kun, you've heard that Folsaria was a country made by exiled people, right?”

“Yeah. I've heard something like that”

”This was the place they ended up in. Here they made their first town and eventually spread through all of Folsaria. That's why it is the Land of the Beginning”

According to legend, the people of Folsaria were people who had committed a great sin, and were exiled from their home country. That sin was said to be turning on the king and advocating world dominance.

After a long time, the descendants of those criminals reached this place. And as a repentance for their past sin, they created a kingdom without a king. The king belonged in their true home, and they instead ruled themselves through elder conferences. Even after being exiled, they wanted a connection to their true home.

The magical kingdom of Folsaria took its first steps here, but being in the deepest portion of a forest was inconvenient for spreading civilization. As such, as population increased, the capital was moved to the city of Thorthe which was built on a wide plain. People systematically moved over to Thorthe, leaving this place as ruins. In other words, this was a remainder of when the Folsarians had desperately struggled to stay alive. To the Folsarians, while this was a place that was hard to reach, it held historical value.

“So that's why Darkness Rainbow chose this as their new base”

Yurika who had listened in on Maki's explanation explained what she believed.

“I think so. I'm sure they intend to begin anew from here”

Maki believed the same. When Maki fell into Koutarou's and the others hands, Darkness Rainbow had to change bases out of necessity. However, with the chances of their next battle deciding the future of Folsaria, they wanted a place that would serve as a symbol. And there was no place as suitable as the Land of the Beginning.

Part 3

The town was really antique, with most buildings simply made out of wood and stone. Because of that, only the stonework remained after so much time had passed. Even the stonework had somewhat collapsed, and only the sturdiest constructions remained intact.

“A town sure does deteriorate quickly when nobody is living in it...”

Harumi spun around and looked at the cityscape with only stonework remaining, and showed a sad smile. The main street that must have once been bustling with people was now only home to plants and trees. Almost no remnants of people living there remained.

“It's hard to look at property abandoned like this”

”Fufufu, you're a landlord after all, Kasagi-san”

Seeing Shizuka furrow her brows, looking at the same things she was, Harumi let out a cheerful laugh. The town was abandoned, but it wasn't like the populace had been ruined, as they had only moved. That's why Harumi only felt sad because of the town looked so desolate.

“Your Highness, Master, it looks like Darkness Rainbow's base is the castle on the top of that hill”

That was when Ruth, who had received data from the automated weapons that had infiltrated Darkness Rainbow's ranks, pointed out the building that she believed housed Darkness Rainbow's base.

“Hm, it's certainly a castle rich in atmosphere”

Theia looked at the old castle that Ruth pointed out and nodded approvingly. Being a building that required durability, the castle still maintained its old shape. Ivy and plants entwined themselves around the castle, giving it a feel like something out of a fairy tale. So Theia gave this castle a perfect mark in terms of suitability as a base for a group of magicians.

“Theia, we can leave the sightseeing for later. We have―”

―things we need to do. That was what Koutarou had intended to say, but those words were caught in his throat and never came out. Instead he began running towards the castle that still hadn't collapsed.

“What is it, Koutarou!?”

”Ridiculous, is something like this possible!?”

Not paying any heed to what Theia was saying, Koutarou used a stone stairway to run up to the roof of a building.

“What is the matter with Master?”

“I... don't know either. He just suddenly started running”

”We should follow him”

”Indeed”

Theia and Ruth chased after Koutarou. The remaining seven girls followed suit, and before long all ten of them were gathered on the roof. Standing on a higher point, they got a better view of the old castle.

“There's no doubting it... that's... hey, Clan! Come over here! And you too, Sakuraba-senpai!”

“What is it?”

“Satomi-kun?”

Being called out by Koutarou, Clan and Harumi moved up next to him. Koutarou pointed out the castle to the two and spoke loudly in a fluster.

“Take good look at that castle you two!! Don't you recognize it!?”

”Recognize? I haven't seen― Eh, ah...”

“That's.. no way!?”

The two suddenly understood why Koutarou had been so surprised and run up here, and they were just as surprised as him. They couldn't believe what they were seeing before their very eyes.

The appearance of the three standing in place and staring at the castle was not normal. It was clear that something big had happened. And so, as the representative of the remaining girls , Yurika who was in charge asked about the situation.

“Satomi-san, what is it? Why are you three so surprised?”

“... That is the castle of Sariachal[1]. The very same castle of Sariachal that Clan and I blew away with the super-space-time repulsion shell!!”

However, the answer from Koutarou far exceeded the girls expectations.

Part 4

When he realized that what he was looking at was the castle of Sariachal, Koutarou felt such shock it was like the world he was on was crumbling apart.

“... Now I get it... that's why they came to room 106...”

However, by accepting this, the pieces of the puzzle started falling into place. Using this truth to reconstruct the collapsed world, light was shed on parts that were previously unseen. The fact that so many girls had invaded Koutarou's room was not a coincidence.

According to Dark Crimson, the Folsarians were once People of the Earth that separated from the other tribes. And now that they had found the castle of Sariachal, they understood that Folsarians had actually come from the past Forthorthe. In other words, Folsarians and People of the Earth were actually descendants of Forthorthians.

In Koutarou's final battle in the past of Forthorthe, Maxfern and his group of alchemists, and Grevanas and his group of magicians, had been blown away by the super-space-time repulsion shell. And the two groups had drifted through space-time and ended up in the past Earth and Folsaria.

Maxfern and his group that arrived on Earth created their own culture based alchemy. The ruins at Koutarou's part-time job were most likely that. However, for some reason they had vanished. The virus that had been blown away with them might have been responsible for that. In that case, only those with blood mixed with Earth's humans would have survived. Reason aside, Maxfern and his group had indeed vanished. And those that survived inherited the technology and culture and developed on it, eventually becoming the People of the Earth.

Meanwhile, Grevanas and his group of magicians had reached Folsaria. They regretted turning their fangs on the royal family alongside Maxfern, and created a kingdom without a king. That was the magical kingdom of Folsaria. Combining with Forthorthe and Sariachal they got Folsaria. The capital being named Thorthe was made by just removing ”For” from Forthorthe. Everything made sense.

The People of the Earth began declining, and there was internal conflict within Folsaria, and eventually both of them reached out towards Earth in order to invade. In that process, Sanae was turned into a ghost, and Yurika became a magical girl. Theia and Ruth arrived at Earth by adhering to their customs, and Kiriha appeared as the People of the Earth's vanguard. While they all appeared to be completely unrelated at the start, they had a common connection in the past Forthorthe.

“... In other words, this is all because of me. This was my battle from the very beginning...”

With this, Koutarou was given a new viewpoint. The girls appearing in room 106 all originated from Koutarou's actions. In other words, this entire situation was all Koutarou's responsibility. Up until now, Koutarou had acted to help the girls, but it was different from now on. Koutarou had to take responsibility for what his own actions had caused.

Part 5

Learning that they had all met as part of one huge event came as a shock to all of the girls. This didn't apply to the first five girls, but all nine of them.

By the time Shizuka's parents passed away in the fire, Alunaya's soul was most likely already residing within her. She had survived thanks to that. If Harumi didn't have the powers of Alaia and Signaltin, she might have died at the marathon rally. And examples weren't even needed for Maki and Clan.

The fact that they had all met and formed relationships was all related to Koutarou's time slip. However, Koutarou didn't time slip until after the invaders had arrived. The complex cross wiring of time-space and cause and effect had created this situation. It was only natural for the girls to be shaken up.

“I had thought of that possibility, but... but to learn that this really was the case is a big surprise”

”Kiriha, you noticed?”

“Yeah. Space is so large, yet we were all gathered on such a small scope. However, it wasn't like I had any conclusive evidence. And as a result I am this surprised”

During the decisive battle underground, Kiriha had heard of her connection with Maya in the past. From there, she began seeing a connection between herself, Sanae, Yurika and Maki. She had thought that it was a coincidence, but it seemed that the opposite was true.

“I'm a little better off than you are”

”Oh?”

”When I learned that Koutarou was the Blue Knight I used up most of my surprise”

“I see, in your case that's certainly true”

Theia and Kiriha looked at each other and smiled. Though a strange fact had come to light, it resulted in strengthening their feelings of solidarity.

“In other words, Koutarou is our destined person”

Because of Koutarou's desperate efforts in the past world, the girls had appeared in front of him. Alternatively, ever since the girls appeared in front of Koutarou, he had desperately struggled to return to his own world. Sanae believed that just like it was unclear what came first, the chicken or the egg, the girls and Koutarou were inseparable due to fate.

“I think so too. I'm sure we exist for Satomi-kun's sake”

Harumi agreed with Sanae's line of thought. Koutarou's straight and earnest heart had brought the girls to his side. The girls wished to heal Koutarou's wounded heart. Harumi believed that was the reason for why they had been born. No, she wished that was the case. That was because she admired a destined encounter and true love.

“I just hope Satomi-kun feels the same way... a one-sided destiny would be so lonely”

Shizuka was a little worried if Koutarou felt the same way that they did. If he thought of the girls as his own destined people. That was an important question for the girls.

“It's okay. Master returned to our side didn't he, even declining the invitation of the legendary princess Alaia...”

Ruth believed in Koutarou. Certainly, one on one, they might not stand a chance against Alaia, however, the nine of them together wouldn't lose. They were needed by Koutarou. He sensed his fate was with them. That's why he had returned from the past world.

With Ruth's words, the girls shock began to fade.

“It's only obvious for my knight to return to my side”

”He's also my first love”

“Of course Koutarou loves us... but he gets angry if I try to get in the bath with him”

“S-Sanae, you did something like that with Bertorion!?”

They had been surprised when they learned that Koutarou had caused everything because of his time slip. But thinking about it calmly, destined people tended to have that kind of nature. Because fate intertwined in a complicated manner, he was their destined person. Having understood that, the girls conviction that Koutarou was their destined person grew stronger.

“Destined person, huh..”

Yurika muttered and looked at Koutarou. He and the girls were looking at the old castle of Sariachal. His profile looked more strict than usual. Seeing that, Yurika showed an expression of sorrow for some reason.

“Is something the matter, Yurika?”

Noticing that expression, Maki stood next to Yurika and stared at Koutarou as well. She wanted to know what caused Yurika's expression to change like that.

“I feel like I understand why Satomi-san said he didn't want anyone to fight”

“What do you mean?”

“Maki-chan, look at Satomi-san. He has a scary face doesn't he?”

”You're right... it doesn't suit him”

Like with Yurika, Maki felt like Koutarou's expression didn't suit him. The normal Koutarou had a more innocent expression. His usual atmosphere was far different.

“My beloved face is more― I see, now I see”

”Yes. I really don't want to see Satomi-san with that expression. I want him to return to his usual self as quickly as possible”

“... Me too, Yurika...”

Koutarou had said that he didn't like it when Yurika had the expression of a magical girl. And Yurika felt the same for the expression he showed when acting as the Blue Knight. She wanted return Koutarou to his usual self as soon as possible. Maki of course felt the same way. Not a single girl loved the fighting Koutarou.

“I'm sure Satomi-san is feeling responsible. That what happened underground and in Folsaria was his fault...”

“That might be true, but that's the fault of the ones who caused the coup d'etat. If Satomi-kun hadn't done anything, things would have gotten worse”

Koutarou's actions had indeed given birth to the People of the Earth and the magical kingdom of Folsaria. However, Koutarou did that to save a great deal of lives as Maxfern and Grevanas were planning on indiscriminately spreading the virus. Maxfern and his group were thrown into a situation that should have killed them, so they were in no position to complain and should be happy they were still alive. The problems the People of the Earth and Folsaria experienced after that was Maxfern's and Grevanas' responsibility, and Koutarou had no reason to feel responsibility. But because he didn't feel the same way, he was now acting like the Blue Knight. Maki and Yurika couldn't help but feel impatient.

“Satomi-san is not the Blue Knight. And we are not heroes of justice”

Yurika could now understand why Koutarou would accept that Yurika was a magical girl, but rejected it. Neither Koutarou, Yurika or anyone else should show an expression like that.

“Our bonds and fate don't belong within battles. We have room 106, a place we can return home to!”

Koutarou and all nine girls wanted to return home to room 106 as quickly as possible and return to their normal selves.

Part 6

Having chosen the Land of the Beginning as their new base showed Darkness Rainbow's resolve. The Land of the Beginning was a place that held a lot of historical meaning, so choosing this place as your base and then retreating was essentially equivalent to defeat. In other words, their indomitable resolve could be seen from their decision.

“Once Crimson gets back, the battle will start... it's finally starting”

When Maki had been captured by Koutarou and the others, Dark Purple was the one that chose this as the location for Darkness Rainbow's base. Their next battle with Rainbow Heart would be their last, and the magical kingdom of Folsaria would be reformed with Darkness Rainbow at its center. For that sake, there was no place more suitable for their base than this.

“... Kai... once this battle is over, the two of us will...”

Purple looked over to the cylindrical glass tank left in her personal laboratory. Within her eyes was deep passion and love, making it seem like her normal calmness and cruelty were a lie. Her glance was fully intended for the remains of her lover, within the cylindrical tank full of preservation fluid.

If she didn't defeat Rainbow Heart, obtaining all the sacrifices she required was but a fleeting dream. Behind Purple's resolve to battle Rainbow Heart was her desire to revive her passed away lover as quickly as possible.

“... You've waited that long for this... just wait a little longer...”

However, her powerful desire hadn't clouded her decisions. She absolutely couldn't afford to fail at reviving her lover, so she had made preparations upon preparations, waiting for so long. Purple had endured the strong desire within her that would drive a normal person insane and finally reached today, the big day where the decisive battle against Rainbow Heart would be fought. Purple stared at her lover's remains as she recalled the days up until now.

After facing her lover for a while, a knock could be heard from the door to the laboratory.

“Purple, GreGree brought Crim-chan back”

It was Dark Orange who had knocked. With her awfully cute voice, Purple could tell the moment she opened her mouth.

“Okay, I'll be right there. Please go on ahead”

”Oka~y”

Normally, Purple would be upset by having her time with her lover interrupted, but now was different. The time she had waited for was finally here.

“Then I'm leaving, Kai... I'll be fine like I always am, so just wait for my return there. While thinking of how you'll abuse me when you revive like always...”

Normally Purple would reluctantly leave this room. However, a strong power of will burned within her eyes as she left. With Crimson back, that meant that the decisive battle would start. She had always waited for this moment, so it was only obvious for her to get so motivated.

Part 7

Darkness Rainbow had spent a lot of labor and time to rescue Crimson, but even then there was still a chance of failure. That's why the attack on Rainbow Heart would begin the moment the rescue operation finished, regardless of whether it succeeded or not.

“... Purple, you're awful. There's a limit to how much you can use a person”

“That's not true. We'll at least wait until you finish dinner”

”You mean that you'll only wait until I finish”

Having returned to the Land of the Beginning, the remaining four leaders of Darkness Rainbow welcomed Crimson and Green. They had already finished their preparations, and were ready to go. Once Crimson and Green were prepared, they would begin their attack. Having heard that from Purple, Crimson instinctively stared up into the sky.

“But still, you pulled it off, GreGree”

Orange heartily beat Green on the back. As a matter of fact, Orange had been very skeptical about the rescue operation. She had worried that Green might get caught as well, and that being the case they simply shouldn't try it at all. Having thought like that, her opinion of Green improved when she returned with Crimson in hand.

“Ouch... i-it just means that there are openings in everything”

Green frowned from getting hit in the back but didn't raise her voice. She too was happy that she had been able to rescue Crimson and she understood that Orange was praising her.

“There's no need to be humble, Green. With you and Crimson, the battle will proceed in our favor”

“Yellow is right. Things will be a lot easier now”

Yellow and Blue agreed with Orange. Everyone in Darkness Rainbow was pleased with Green's hard work and Crimson's return.

But still, there's no one who is pleased with Crimson herself returning...

Rather than getting slapped on the back, Green was more displeased about nobody worrying for Crimson. All four of them were only focused on the coming battle... not a single one of them was truly happy to meet Crimson again.

Navy-san might have...

Green thought of Maki for just a moment. Green had noticed that the relationship between Maki and Crimson was different from the other leaders. That's why Maki might have been happy with Crimson returning. However, Green soon chased her thoughts of Maki away. Being so attached to Crimson, Green didn't want to admit that Maki held special meaning to Crimson.

“Green, do you have a moment?”

“Yes”

Being called out by Purple, Green stopped thinking and headed towards her right away. She was aware that there was no time.

“What do you want to know?”

“I want you to tell me how the enemy will move. The situation of Rainbow Heart's main force, if possible the location of the seven Rainbow's, things like that”

A reconnaissance force had been dispatched, but Purple wanted to double check with Green's forecasts. Green admired that calm judgment while grabbing her cane and beginning on an incantation so familiar to her.

“Precognition”

As Green cast her spell, a vast amount of information entered her head. Her forecast allowed her to see the future of all parallel worlds, they overlapped and produced an image. So she could clearly see many futures, with the futures with a lower chance of happening being more dim. If she were to forecast the future of Earth's position, the image would be as clear as a photo taken by a pro. However, if she tried to forecast the position of a certain person, the image would be blurry like a photo taken by an amateur. In other words, the more uncertain elements, the blurrier the image got.

“Uhm... the main force will deploy to match our deployment”

“Are you sure?”

”Since the future is so close now, there's only a 5% margin of error”

”So that's all they can do even with reserve forces... well they can't leave the capital open, so they can't do anything drastic”

Green forecast Darkness Rainbow's forces clashing against Rainbow Heart's forces. The forecast produced a very clear image, so the chances of the future differing from it was very small. Her experience told her that the difference is no more than 5%. In other words, if Rainbow Heart had prepared a force to ambush them, the chances of them were 5% or less. An ambush of 5% or less was well within the range they could respond to. If the forecast was correct, Darkness Rainbow would most likely win due to the weapons of the People of the Earth and Forthorthe in their possession.

“Then what about the Rainbow's?”

However, they still couldn't take it easy. If they didn't confirm the whereabouts of seven strongest within Rainbow Heart, something unexpected might still happen. Purple was more cautious of this than the 5%.

“It looks like two are protecting room 106 in Kitsushouharukaze city”

”Fufu, it seems like the attack from before had its effect. Their forces are getting split up”

Rainbow Heart couldn't leave room 106 unguarded, even though the decisive battle against Darkness Rainbow was so close. Even more so considering the attack from before.

“Four of them are working together with the main forces. It looks like it could be three as well, but... well, I think its four”

”In a head-on confrontation we'd pit our six against their four. In that case we would win even without Maya's powers”

Darkness Rainbow's leaders and Rainbow Heart's arc-wizards were on the same level. Those with exceptional strength would sometimes appear, but that didn't apply to the current members. With the numerical advantage, Darkness Rainbow was almost assured victory.

“That's six... what about the last one?”

“Just wait a moment... where is she I wonder...?”

It was easy to read the future of people in front of her, but reading the future of people far away was quite difficult in comparison.

“Who is the last one?”

“Nana's apprentice”

“Nana's?”

Hearing that, Purple's expression changed. Rainbow Nana had once taken on and incapacitated all seven leaders of Darkness Rainbow in the past. Learning that her apprentice was acting on her own was eerie.

“Wha!? This is bad Purple! Nana's apprentice is coming here!!”

And Purple's sinking feeling turned out to be true. Green reported on Nana's apprentice's, Yurika's, position with a shrill voice.

“Are you sure!?”

“There's a margin of error of less than 10%, it's safe to believe that they've at least found this place!”

”How did they find us!?”

”I don't know! I checked the past from before I rescued Crimson but couldn't see anything like it! Yet they're on their way!”

Green couldn't just see the present, but she could also see the past to a certain degree. Green checked the past from before her rescue operation to the present, but she couldn't see anything like this, yet here they were at the Land of the Beginning. Normally this shouldn't be possible, and Green fell into confusion.

“Calm down, Green”

That was when Crimson scolded Green. In response, Green's body twitched and she turned to look in Crimson's direction. Having finished her dinner, Crimson rose from her seat and joined in on the conversation.

“That woman, Kurano Kiriha, is probably behind this too. I'm sure she knows a weakness of future forecast that we don't know about”

That was just Crimson's intuition, but she was actually spot on.

Using the fact that Green's forecasts grew more blurry the further into the future she looked, Kiriha had finished the modifications and positioning of the automated weapons several days ago. After that she had left it completely untouched. So if Green would have used her forecast to check several days ago, she should be able to see Clan and the others modifying the automated weapons. But right now she didn't have the time for that. In the end, she didn't reach the conclusion that the automated weapon had been modified.

“We should have killed her in our last battle”

”What do we do, Purple?”

”Isn't that obvious? We will order our entire army to attack! And after we've defeated Rainbow Yurika and those others here, we will rejoin the army and annihilate Rainbow Heart!”

But regardless of forecast, now that they were this close, what they had to do wouldn't change. Their base might have been found, but that didn't matter if Rainbow Heart was defeated.

“Just bring it on, Rainbow! I will reclaim the past!”

Obeying Purple's order, Darkness Rainbow's army began moving. The leaders moved to intercept Yurika and the others while the main force marched towards the capital of Thorthe. The curtains of the battle over the magical kingdom of Folsaria between Darkness Rainbow and Rainbow Heart rose.
