Sound: Paki.
Sound: Ni.
Ai: She found me!!
<83>
Sound: Za za.
Sound: Do do do do do.
Ai: She's getting closer!!
Sound: Za za.
Sound: Do do.
Ai: She stopped.!?
What?. She's not there.
Sound: Bata bata bata bata.
Sound: Bata bata bata bata.
<84>
Ai: !!
<85>
Sound: Dan.
Mai: This tag game is over, isn't it.
Ai: Does this really work on her!?
Mun!!
Sound: Ba.
Sound: Ga.
Ai: Ah.
<86>
Ai: U.
Sound: Gan.
Ai: Ah.
Sound: Charin.
Ai: Like this, she will paralyze me again, and this
time, for sure, she'll erase me!!
Sound: Bari bari.
<87>
Ai: She seems more powerful than before. If I try to run
by her, she'll probably catch me. So, that means the
only way to run away is from behind.
If it's worse, I wouldn't just have been injured in
this fight. What should I do.
Ai: As usual, you haven't a scrap of love in your eyes.
Sound: Za za.
Mai: "Love?" It's foolish for a Video Girl to talk about
"love."
Sound: Za za.
Mai: The Video Girl has the ability to help a plurality
of men, regardless of looks, personality, or age,
otherwise it's impossible. For that, love, an
emotion that ties the heart up, is useless.
People say that love is absolute, but don't you
think there is no emotion more vain, easier to
break, and make disappear, than love?
Ai: That might be true.
Ai: Even though, if love must be taken away, I'll quit
being a Video Girl!
Sound: Ba.
<88>
Mai: Mu!?
Sound: Ga.
Ai: Ouch!!
Sound: Gaga ga ga ga.
Sound: Guki.
Ai: Kya!!
Sound: Buwa.
<89>
Sound: Hyu.
Zun.
Ai: I'm amazingly tough.
<90>
Ai: Because I could get out of that difficult situation.
Ku ku ku ku.
Ai: I'm filled with laughter.
Ahahahaha. Hahahahaha!
For now, I've survived.
Ai: Haha. Ha.
Sound: Guwa.
Ai: I have to run away! I can't just stay here!
Ai: There is it!
Ai: When I thrust it toward her, her face certainly
froze. As the old man said, it has an effect! My
only weapon, I have to keep it well.
Sound: Shu.
<91>
Ai: "Love" is foolish, huh? That's impossible. I don't
want to lose that emotion, it's very painful, but it
fills my heart when I begin liking someone.
Ai: If a Video Girl cannot love people, then I renounce
being a Video Girl.
Ai: Wait. If I quit being a Video Girl, then I don't
have to go back to being his sister. I can approach
Youta more.
Ai: No, I can't. No matter how hard I try. Even if I
quit being a Video Girl. I'm not a normal person.
Either way, I can't love anyone.
<92>
Mai: What courage. You're lost in wild fantasies while
your life in in the hand of danger.
Ai: Un.
Sound: Bya. Ba ba ba.
Ai: Extremely light movement!!
Sound: Ga.
Sound: Byu.
<93>
Sound: Gatsu.
Ai: !. Gloves. She wasn't wearing them just awhile ago.
Mai: These gloves are for concentrating and releasing my
magnetic power. The power released can erase part of
your body. Like before, you can't just pass out.
Mai: Hands, legs, face, gradually, I'll erase you.
Fufufu. The last blow is, of course, the 'Kiss of
Death' to your heart. Then, you'll be completely
erased from this world.
Ai: If I don't kill her, she'll kill me!!
<94>
Sound: Ba.
Sound: Su.
Sound: Gu.
<95>
Mai: What about it?
Sound: Do do do do do do do.
Ai: It doesn't work!? No kidding!!
Mai: Did you think it'd work on me forever? There is a
special coating all around my body to protect my
from outside magnetism.
Ai: No--!!
Sound: Ba ba ba ba ba.
<96>
Youta: Anyway. This is a really big chance. I didn't think
I'd see the girl who played with me at the slide in
kindergarten.
Natsumi: Really.
Natsumi: A person seems not to change much. Your miserable
part hasn't changed at all.
Youta: Stop that. I worry about it too, so.
Natsumi: Goo. We'll make up!! There is no happier thing than
old friends meeting. Plus, we were both rejected!
<97>
Youta: For a moment, I was shocked. Because her smile was
the same as it was then. Like you said, people don't
change so much. I guess you're still a kind and
honest girl like then.
Natsumi: I was rejected, but I won't give up yet! I won't
give up so easily because I really like him!
Youta: Me too! I won't give up either, I'll do my best
too!! I won't be a miserable guy forever.
Natsumi: Oh, that's right!! I'm impressed with you a little
bit, Furare-kun!!
Youta: Like I said, stop saying that.
I was always helped by Ai-chan, Moemi-chan, and
Nobuko-chan. A person might hardly change, but
sometimes has to. I won't depend on anyone, and I'll
do my best to love only myself.
<98>
Sound: Dosu.
Ai: My arm is losing its feeling!
Mai: Why do you try like this? Why? I don't understand.
Does he need you, the person you want to be with?
<99>
Mai: Are you really useful to him? Can you still work on
your duty to "comfort" now?
I don't think an imperfect thing like you could do
that.
Ai: Shut up! I don't want to hear it!!
Mai: He already has a girlfriend or something, right!
Then what is the meaning of your existence! You're
his burden.
Ai: That's not true!! I can comfort him when his love
with his girlfriend falters!! I can stay with him
forever!!
Mai: .Forever, huh. She doesn't know anything about Video
Girls. Well, it's okay, you'll be erased anyway.
<100>
Ai: Is it true? Youta-- Don't you need me anymore? Am I a
burden? Hey, Youta.
Nothing would change, even if I was erased here?
Hey. Youta.
Sound: Su--.
Ai: No--.
Youta!! I'll disappear!!
