Twisted Tonelico

Phase 02-Book 01: Dia Rosa Rudje (pt. 14)

Previously: "...Miss."

"Yes?"

"My friends once told me that songs can make people happy. Chen'ya and Trey sang silly songs when I was with them" She sensed where this was going. "Mama never sang to me when I was sad." He tightened his hand into a small fist, nervous to ask her his question. "Could...could you sing to me, please?"

Meryu Melenas knew what needed to be done. "Yes."

~Twisted Tonelico~

~Heartslabyul Dorm: Garden~

"Riddle. Meryu-san. Please, wake up!"

The boys and Crowley looked over the unconscious pair, praying that they would wake up soon.

The moment the madness of Riddle's Overblot ended. Ace and Cater ran to find Crowley and tell him the news of their success of saving their Housewarden, and also informing him of Meryu falling unconscious again.

And there they were, surrounded in the ruins of the beautiful rose garden. Overseeing Riddle and Meryu, and hoping they both would regain consciousness.

But rather than waking up, they instead heard a song play in the Dorm's Garden.

~Presia slepir dius marfo mea.~

~Endia delij gyusya hyzik sphilar yor yanje.~

Everyone was surprised by the sudden melody playing around them. Deuce was the first to voice their shared thoughts. "Eh? Where's this singing coming from?!"

They all looked at each other and not a single one of them was singing at all. And it didn't appear that any of the returned Heartslabyul students were singing either.

~Bautifal frawr yor wassee hartes tes ciel.~

"Who's got time to sing- Wait a sec! I know that singing voice anywhere!!"

~Was yea ra hymmne mea chsee manafeeze yor.~

Ace listened carefully "This sounds like..."

"MERYU-SAN!!!"

"You sure, guys?" Trey questioned.

"My minion's voice is quite distinct. She practically sings me to sleep since we started here."

"But how's that possible? Ryu-ryu fainted like Rids."

~Was ki ra chs cremia sos yor~

"Cre...mia?"

They looked to the unconscious boy and girl to see them both glowing oddly as the songs played.

~HALT /1x10 enter >> hyzik sphilar > Riddle. Ware cremia herr, exec hymmne TRANSFUSION~

From Riddle, a bizarre misty orb escaped his body, hovering over him for a few moments before swirling like a small tornado...

"This is...!" Crowley said, perplexed.

...before soaring into the air and jumping straight into Meryu's body.

~Waath herr zash en houd warma omnis.~

~Wassee anw dius manafaln gran,~

~Presia.~

The melody had stopped playing, indicating that the song was over. No one knew what to say after that. Except for one thing.
