Sage: Oh wow, the lake is turning bright red from the sunset. It's really beautiful, isn't it? ♪
Marion: ... True. It's quite lovely.
Sage: Thank you for coming along.
Marion: ... I didn't stick around just to see this, you know.
I took some time to choose souvenirs and deal with the aftermath, and now look at the time.
Sage: Even so, I'm super glad we get to see it together!
I really wanted to share this view with you for a long time. I honestly didn't expect I'd be able to after all these years.
Marion: ... Is that so?
Sage: I'm really happy we're part of the same mission this time.
I was able to do what I once thought I couldn't, so I could sense my own progress, too.
Honestly, you really are one of a kind. The genius rookie of the 12th gen!
Marion: It's just how I was created.
Sage: Oh... sorry, that's not what I meant...
Marion: Sorry, that came out wrong. I don't really mind either way.
You were also someone special, weren't you?
Sage: ... Ahaha, so it seems.
But, unlike you, I haven't dealt with or shouldered anything up to this point...
Marion: I mean, what's wrong with that?
Sage: Huh...?
Marion: I think it's fine as long as you have a clear view of yourself.
Sage: Marion-kun...
Marion: I've always chosen to be special for myself.
And that won't change anytime soon. As long as there are people who believe I'm unique, I’ll continue to be special.
As long as you're okay with the person you've become, that's what counts.
Sage: Yeah, that might just be the thing...
(I'm sure Teacher also...)
Marion: Well, I guess it's time to head home.
Sage: What do you think about taking a picture together before we go? I really want Licht-kun to see this view.
Marion: Why do I have to be in it then? You could just take one of the lakeside, right?
Sage: I know, but I want to show Licht-kun pictures of us enjoying this view.
Wouldn't it be cool to share this happy moment? ♪
Marion: ... Haah, do whatever you want.
Sage: Yeah, I will.

Ready~
Marion: Too close.
Sage: But you can't see the scenery unless we get closer, no?
Marion: Sigh...
Sage: Here we go! Marion-kun, make sure to look at the camera! ♪
Marion: Yeah...
Sage: Say cheese ♪

Sage: Ahaha, I managed to take a really awesome picture! ♪ I have to show it to Licht-kun and the others!
Marion: ... Good for you.
Sage: Yeah, thanks.
Marion: Just so we're clear, don't share this on HELIOS∞CHANNEL. Gast could make a fuss again.
Sage: I won't, I won't. This is an important memory for me, after all.
I'll only show it to my close friends! ♪
Marion: ... That's good then.
Alright then, let's go home.
Sage: Ah, wait!!
To Chapter 10 | End.
