[Blue Archive] Abydos' Suicidal Hopeful

Sora Rescue Operation (2) EP.22

"You know, Hoshino-chan."

"I... well."

"When I first saw you, Hoshino-chan, I pinched my cheeks again and again, wondering if it was a dream."

"Having a cute, strong, and dependable underclassman like you by my side makes me so happy..."

"Uung... I'm an idiot, so... I can't explain it properly..."

"Being able to face you like this, Hoshino-chan, feels like a miracle to me..."

"We see each other every day."

"You saw me yesterday, you see me today, and you'll see me tomorrow. What's all the fuss about something so obvious?"

"Hauung... but still..."

"Miracles are much more grand and rare."

"...Mm. No, Hoshino-chan. I think differently."

"I may be an idiot... but I can guarantee that."

"You know, Hoshino-chan, someday, when you have cute juniors too..."

"...Senpai... Hoshino-senpai!!"

"Ah, uh, yeah...?"

"Are you okay?"

"...Ah, yeah, this old lady is fine. More importantly, we need to hurry."

'Why am I remembering that now...?'

Hoshino shook her head from side to side to clear her mind and gripped her gun once more.

Just moments ago, Executive Kaiser had shown them Sora's seemingly hopeless state to demoralize the Countermeasures Committee.

"...Die."

"Ugh!"

However, this act only fueled their anger and boosted their morale.

"...Was there really a need for us to come?"

"......"

The presence of the After-School Sweets Club, who came to help, faded into the background as the all-out battle against Kaiser ended in a landslide victory for the Countermeasures Committee.

After the battle, Hoshino briefly fell into thought, but quickly shook it off and started moving again.

"We've located Sora-senpai!! She's there! Underground, below that bunker!"

They found Sora's location in no time.

"Let's hurry, we need to get Sora to the hospital as soon as possible."

At the same time, they held onto hope.

"Sora-chan is right there!!"

Seeing Sora in such pain on the screen was difficult, but

"It won't break. One more time."

Her being in pain meant she was still alive.

"Ah, Ayane-chan? How..."

"We came by helicopter, borrowed from Schale! So, Sora-senpai is...?"

However, there was one thing they overlooked.
