"The words for you that are in my heart" "I want to tell them to you someday" "A low fever rising up, my heart starting to race" "I don't know when it began" "But once I realized this feeling that can't be erased" "It was too late to turn it into a lie" "Even if our encounter was a run-of-the-mill coincidence" "I feel it held special meaning" "I am constantly grateful to God that I can be by your side" "I want to be looking at your unflinching profile always" "The time I spend with you gives me unshakable strength" "The words for you that suddenly enter my mind" "I want to tell them to you someday" "It's summer, isn't it, Rin-kun?" "Yeah, it is, Sia." "Wouldn't it be great to go to the beach again?" "Yeah, nothing beats the beach in the summer." "I wanna make lots more memories of our summer break." "Summer break's still Just getting started." "Um..." "This is not the time for such things, you two." "We must finish our summer break homework before the end of the day." "Right." "I know." "I don't understand this at all." "Which part, Rin-sama?" "Here." "It's the equation here." "Oh, for this, you use this formula." "You substitute in the above number for x and..." "Um, Rin-sama, are you paying attention?" "I am, I am!" "And if you put the solution back into the simultaneous equations..." "Oh, I see!" "So that's how it works!" "You are a quick study, Rin-sama." "That's because you're a good teacher." "It's a real help that you're here." "Rin-chan, help me over here, too." "Certainly." "Where do you need help?" "Yeah, it's right here..." "For a while there, I thought we'd lost to Sia-chan." "Sheesh!" "If she'd Jumped on him then, the match would've been over." "This is where Nerine-chan's going to start to rally back." "Oh, Sia's no- --Whoops!" ""Back to Start"" ""Back to Start" Too bad, Shin." "Too bad, Shin." "Yo, Mayumi." "How're things going?" "Oh, shut up!" "I'm busy right now!" "I see, I see." "I feel so relieved to hear your voice." "Honestly!" "Don't call me for no reason!" "Oh, I've wasted a whole 5 seconds telling you that!" "All right!" "Looks like we're still in good company out there." "I'm so glad." "I feel a little relieved now." "You should not be resorting to escapism." "Yes, ma'am..." "Yes, ma'am..." "All right." "Done!" "What?" "!" "No fair, Rin-kun!" "Congratulations, Rin-sama." "Thank you, Nerine." "You're gonna go out to have fun on your own now, aren't you?" "!" "As if I could." "I have to start working on the art assignment next." "A sketch from your summer break, correct?" "What do you plan to draw?" "I don't have time to go to the beach at this point, so I'll go draw a scene from the river or something." "We have an assignment like that, too?" "!" "I'm done for!" "Kaede, are you going somewhere?" "No, this is Rin-kun's lunch." "He should be finishing up the math and Japanese assignments, and I believe he will be heading out to do a summer break sketch soon." "Really?" "Yes." "And I thought something easy to eat by hand would be good." "So you know everything." "It is about Rin-kun, after all." "Kaede!" "Make me a lunch to go!" "Yes, right away!" "Rimu-chan, I am sorry, but would you please put ice tea in that thermos there?" "Got it." "Guess I'll randomly put some people fishing in there." "The premise is technically that I went fishing, after all." "Hey, no cheating!" "Honestly!" "Would you stop hitting me all the time?" "Are you done with your homework, Asa-senpai?" "Of course!" "I thought I'd enjoy the end of summer break taking it easy, so I'm out for a walk." "It must be nice to have it so easygoing." "But you've brought sandwiches and it's like you're on a picnic, too." "Let's see, mind if I have one?" "It's delicious!" "Kaede sure has gotten good at cooking, hasn't she?" "She had you training her." "At this rate, I think she's ready to become your wife at any time." "W" " Wife?" "!" "Rimu-chan, is something the matter?" "Are you not feeling well?" "It's nothing." "P" " Please do not say weird things like that!" "Then, have you settled on Sia-chan?" "!" "Things got pretty exciting this summer, didn't they?" "Th" " That was..." "Rin-kun..." "That is not it!" "It's not Sia-chan, either?" "Then it must mean it's Nerine-chan." "Rin-sama..." "Nerine-chan's working so hard to learn how to cook for you, too, after all." "Boys have a weak spot for that kind of admirable effort." "Please do not draw such arbitrary conclusions." "If it's not any of those three..." "Oh, could it be Rimu-chan?" "You're teasing me, aren't you?" "Yup!" "Of course!" "This is the last day of summer break." "That is not something you say to a guy weighed down with homework." "Love isn't gonna wait for you." "Well, at any rate, I cannot think about who I might choose right now." "Why not?" "What we have now, this camaraderie with everyone, is more fun." "Uh-huh..." "What about yourself, Asa-senpai?" "Ever since that incident with Takizawa-senpai," "I have heard that many have confessed their feelings for you." "I'm a long way from considering love right now." "For the foreseeable future," "I think what I most want is to have fun with you guys," "Just like we are now." "Then you are the same as me, aren't you?" "You're right!" "Kaede, the pot is boiling over." "What?" "Oh, no!" "I had forgotten I had left it on!" "Oh, my." "Are you two on a date together?" "Nope." "We were Just at the dry riverbed." "At the dry riverbed?" "My!" "My!" "My!" "H" " Hey, Kareha!" "I have this feeling that she is fantasizing about something that is utterly wrong." "Rin, there's nothing to be embarrassed about." "A young man and woman committing an indiscretion for a summer memory is nothing unusual." "You're wrong." "You are wrong." "What's going on here?" "I do not know." "When I found her, Rimu-chan had collapsed." "Is she... sick?" "That is not clear, either." "She has a fever, right?" "When I used a thermometer, it showed 50 degrees Celsius." "50 degrees?" "!" "That's impossible!" "I could not believe it, either, but Rimu-chan is from the world of devils, so..." "Right, I'd forgotten about that..." "Nerine, do devils succumb to illnesses like this?" "Nerine?" "I don't really know much about devils." "Do we Just need to take her to a doctor?" "Then, what should we do?" "Do you know, Sia?" "What?" "You should know more than me, right?" "Tell us what we should do." "What's gotten into the both of you?" "!" "Sia!" "Nerine!" "Rin-kun!" "Sorry." "I'm sorry." "I am sorry." "Get well soon." "Rin-kun?" "What's going on?" "This is all supposed to be Primula's doing?" "Why in the world would she?" "Rin-chan, could we have a minute?" "I'm sorry about the trouble Primula's caused you." "Never mind that." "Please tell me what is going on." "You know, don't you?" "Rin-dono, don't be so impatient." "How can I not be impatient?" "!" "It's okay, Shin-chan." "We hear Primula has a really high fever right now." "Yes." "Even devils and gods don't get to be that bad." "What is that supposed to mean?" "!" "You see, Primula isn't a devil." "And of course, nor is she a god or a human." "What?" "Primula is an artificial life form." "Artificial life form?" "As the term suggests, she's a life that was created." "It was for a certain research project." "She's a being, who was brought to life through the best that magical science had to offer." "You must be Joking!" "This is true?" "But..." "It's the top project that our two worlds have been working on together." "project Yggdrasil." "Primula is a being, who was created solely for that research project." "Primula is not a thing!" "Just what is this project Yggdrasil?" "!" "Life." "The research of life." "Life?" "Yes." "In a sense, magic is the power of miracles." "Even things that are normally unthinkable can be made reality." "But even with the power of magic, there's Just one thing that won't bend to its will." "And that's life." "The dead cannot be brought back to life." "The restorative power of healing magic also has its limits." "But what if we could make those things possible?" "What if we could recover precious lives that were once lost?" "What if we could save the lives of people, who only await their deaths?" "The artificial life form was created for that research." "And that is..." "Primula..." "Yes, she's the only perfected one of her kind." "But well, because of that, she's ended up having to shoulder a terrible burden." "A terrible burden?" "This current situation is a direct result of that." "Oh, Rin-kun." "Where have you been?" "Just out for a bit." "How's Primula?" "She is sleeping." "Kaede is by her side right now." "I see." "Is something wrong?" "It's nothing." "I'll go check on her." "How is she?" "Her fever has not gone down." "A tremendous amount of magical power is pent up inside that tiny body." "So that she can work miracles that normal magic isn't capable of." "Even Shin-chan and I would have a hard time controlling that much magic." "To Primula, it's a double-edged sword." "Rin-kun, is something the matter?" "Kaede..." "I guess I didn't understand anything about Primula." "What?" "Are you really sure, Rin-kun?" "It's getting late already anyway." "Kaede and I will manage things after this somehow." "Then, if anything happens, please call us right away." "Sure." "Thanks." "Rimu-chan is awake!" "How're you feeling?" "Not good." "I am sorry I have not been able to do anything for you." "It's not your fault." "Primula, I have a favor I want to ask you." "What?" "Won't you go back to the world of devils?" "Rin-kun, what are you asking?" "!" "Don't misunderstand me." "Primula's illness can't be cured in the human world." "But in the world of devils..." "That's what the King of Devils told me." "If you go back to the world of devils..." "If you go back to where you originally came from, he said they'd be able to cure you." "No." "Primula?" "!" "I'm staying at this house." "But we can't do anything for you." "Go back for now and when you're better, you can come back again..." "No, never!" "Rimu-chan..." "The reason we allowed Primula to live with you was because there was a chance she might learn to control her magic." "That was the thought behind that." "What do you mean?" "One thing the results of our research showed was that emotions have a huge impact." "Towards the beginning, it was rare for Primula to show her emotions outwardly, remember?" "Yes." "But as she warmed up to us..." "A lot's happened to Primula, you see, and she'd lost her emotions." "What?" "Why?" "The hypothesis the research lab came up with was this." "If Primula were able to regain her humanistic emotions, then she might be able to control the vast amount of magic she has." "And you lived up to our expectations and restored Primula's emotions to her." "Then this shouldn't be happening to Primula!" "I told you, didn't I?" "It was a hypothesis." "Even we don't really know what's going to happen." "We have no choice but to return her to the world of devils and reexamine things." "Rin-chan, won't you please convince Primula to go back?" "No, never!" "What's wrong?" "Coming back here again..." "You knew, didn't you?" "That Primula's an artificial life form..." "And also that nothing can be done unless she goes back to the world of devils?" "Please, Rin-sama." "Tell Rimu-chan to go back." "I did." "But she doesn't want to." "But then, Rimu-chan will..." "I know, but I can't force her to go back when she doesn't want to." "Please, Rin-sama!" "Nerine..." "Send Rimu-chan back to the world of devils..." "I do not want to lose a person who is dear to me ever again!" "Ever again?" "Please!" "Rin..." "I" " Is something the matter?" "Primula..." "Go back to the world of devils." "No." "Rin-kun?" "Please, Primula!" "Rin!" "I'm begging you!" "Okay." "Rimu-chan, take care." "Kaede..." "See you later, Primula." "Rin..." "Rin!" "Rimu-chan..." "This was the right thing to do, right?" "I am afraid we will not be able to let her return to the human world again." "We walk, the two of us together" "We search, the two of us together" "But mirrored in my gaze" "Is a wavering figure of you" "What is between you and me" "Is a sea of noise where dreams mingle" "There's something unchanging alive within you alone" "That's a treasure no one in the world will ever touch" "And it will surely shine more brightly than anything for you" "I prepared breakfast for three people again this morning." "I said, "We will be going now, " to the front entrance." "Even though I knew Rimu-chan was no longer there..." "Next time on Shuffle!" "Episode 13, "House of Twilight"." "Next time on Shuffle!" "Episode 13, "House of Twilight"." "Rin-kun, Rimu-chan will surely come back, won't she?"
