In HQ, Aoi reported, "Hibiki-chan's fighting the Nehushtan's wielder, and apparently Shinjiro-kun is escorting a bystander who got hurt to a safe place."

Genjuro nodded, "Good, record everything. I want everything to be on video."

He stared at the screen with a frown. He recognised that face, easily. After all, he was the last member of that team responsible for taking in Yukine Chris.

Moroboshi stared at Genjuro, and at the screen, before turning, "Commander, I'm heading out."

Genjuro stared at him, and nodded silently, before turning his attention to the screen.

With Shinjiro and Miku, the Ultraman landed by a bus stop, and he spoke, "Sorry, but can you stay here? We'll get someone to bring you to treat your ankle later."

Miku looked at him, her brows furrowing, "That voice, are you... Shinjiro-san?"

Shinjiro blinked, and he nodded, considering Miku most likely saw him transforming anyway, "Yeah, it's me."

The girl frowned, "Then... Hibiki too... Was that part time job always a cover up for this?"

Shinjiro sighed and patted her on the head, "Yeah, I'm sorry we had to keep this a secret from you. We'll explain everything later, and yes, it was a cover up story for this. But don't blame Hibiki-san for this."

Miku frowned, but nodded silently.

Shinjiro then turned, "I need to go back her up, so just stay here, I'll be back in a moment."

The girl could only nod as Shinjiro flew away.

Hibiki dashed past Chris, sparing her a passing glance as she did.

Chris knew what she wanted to do, and honestly, the Nehushtan's user was glad, it meant she didn't need to worry about innocent bystanders, and she could go all out.

The girl smirked, "Trying to bait me away eh?"

She gave chase, and the moment she saw Hibiki running in a straight line, she struck, sending a bladed whip at the Symphogear user.

The whip sent Hibiki crashing to the ground, and she quickly got to her feet and faced Chris. The lavender haired girl smirked, "Heh, you won't get away this time, dumb bitch."

Hibiki frowned, "I'm not a dumb bitch! My name is Tachibana Hibiki! I'm 15 years old, turning 16 in a few months! My blood type is O, and according to a recent school check, my height is 157cm, and my weight, I'll tell you when we know each other better! My hobby is helping people, and I love food! I freakin love food! Also, I've never been in a relationship before!"

Chris was obviously taken aback by the exclamation, and the quick but very detailed self introduction, "W-what the heck are you talking about?!"

Hibiki stared at her seriously, "We're not like the Noises, we're humans! So we can definitely understand each other! That's why I want to talk with you!"

The Nehushtan's wielded blinked, before she chuckled, "What kinda bullshit is going through your head? Do you think you have the time be so relaxed and naive?!"

Chris swung her whips at her, but Hibiki simply dodged them, in fact, to Chris, she dodged them way to easily.

The lavender haired girl frowned, 'What is this? Her movements... they're... different? Is this because of her will?'
