Taiga: Just who do you think you’re talkin’ to! It’s you who should try ta keep up! Let’s go!

Koga & Taiga: “Throughout heaven and earth! Vainglory!”*

Subaru: Bathe yourselves to your heart’s content in our unequalled sparkle…! ☆

Adonis: The flower petals are gathering into one big blossom…! This must be the Dream Blossom Crystal!

Subaru: I implore you, Dream Blossom Crystal! Return our academy to the way it was before! 

Tori: Ah!? The flower-shaped gemstone is breaking into pieces...!

D-Did it fail…!? Can it not grant our wish? 

Koga: Doesn’t look like that’s it. See, the broken fragments are scatterin’, and the room is filled with a sparkle like I’ve never seen before!

Adonis: Yeah. The sparkles are covering the academy and slowly repairing it…

Leo: What a view! Is this Sukhavati or Utopia!? Or even Shangri-La!? 

Wahahaha! My inspiration is welling up~!

Who would have thought I’d find an impetus like this!? After this once in a lifetime encounter, I might just die tomorrow!?

Subaru: Uwah…! ☆ What an amazing sparkle… I could gaze at this my whole life and never get tired of it…! Thank you, it’s all thanks to Shinshin and the others!

Shin: I’m glad I got to see this sparkle with you, Subaru-san!

Location: Road to school

Subaru: Yaaawn….

Aah~... Geez… Because of the dream I had, I feel tired even though I slept all night~… 

That was really a strange dream… When I woke up this morning, I was so exhausted. Seriously, it’s so weird.

(But for some reason,  I can’t remember any details… Though I do have some vague memories of it.)

(I get the feeling I had an amazingly fun encounter…)

(Who was it that was jumping with me then…?)

Shin: ……….

Subaru: (Ah! The person who just walked by, I think I’ve… seen him…before!)

Wait! You there! ...Er, huh? He’s gone?

I lost sight of him… Maybe he disappeared into the crowd?

Hrm~m…

...Well, whatever! I might meet him again somewhere!

Location: Repaired School Gates

Subaru: I was so caught up in thinking about that person I passed by earlier, I ended up at the academy before I knew it.

Hm? Huh? Hrmmm...? These gates…

Koga: Yo, Akehoshi.

Adonis: Good morning, Akehoshi.

Subaru: Ah. Gami-san, Occhan, good morning~! ☆

Koga: What are you havin’ a starin’ contest with the school gates for so early in the morning? 

Subaru: Hey, don’t you get the feeling that the school gates and like, the neighbourhood, look a lot prettier today than they did yesterday...? They’re like, sparkling…? 

Koga: Hah? Ya think?

Adonis: Hrm. Now that you say it, it does feel that way, but at the same time I think it’s always been like this.

Subaru: I see~. I just feel like it looked more shabby before… Or maybe I’m imagining things?

Koga: Isn’t it fine, if you think it’s gotten prettier.

Subaru: I see… That’s true!

Koga: That aside, if we don’t get a move on we’ll be late to class.

Subaru: Ah! Don’t leave me behind, Gami-san, Occhan~!

By the way you guys, listen to this~. Last night, I had a really weird but fun dream~.

Koga: What the hell?

Adonis: That’s nice. Please tell me all about that dream you had.

Subaru: So, you see~...☆

* The word vainglory/self-conceit here is usually written as 唯我独尊, but they replace the second Kanji (我/ga) with the one for fang (牙/ga) that also appears in Koga’s name. Neither the pronunciation nor the meaning changes, but it’s a bit of wordplay.
