World End Match: Nursery☆Rhyme

Ah, that was so much fun!

Huh? What, you're looking for someone? If it's something that simple, you should've told me from the start.

I did!!

She has black hair, she's a little taller than me, and she's a magical girl like me!

Wait a moment! If we are talking about Miyu's appearance...

I shall project a number of curated photos and videos from your prized collection, Illya!

Wait, I don't know what you're talking about! That can't be good, so stop!

Magical girl? Your friend is a magical girl?

I see...

Then I don't know anything about her.

I think you should just give up. Too bad.

？！

You know what this world is? A merry party hall where magical girls gather.

When they get tired of playing, they disappear, one after the other.

That's the rule. There's no getting around it.

So there are magical girls other than Queen Medb?

As far as I know.

And magical girls who did their best make their own playground.

My Land of Sweets is one of them. Let me see... What else is there...

There's the Land of Dragons and Sea, the Land of Dead Bookshelves...

Hmm, what else? ...Oh, the Land of Snow and Honey!

Those are the kingdoms I've heard of, but I don't know what kind of magical girls live there.

Oh, and also...

...Also?

Nothing. Never mind. Ah, here. Take this.

This is to thank you for playing with me and my black sheep. I had fun.

...A j-jewel!? I-It's a diamond! A big, beautiful diamond!

We got an important item! I feel a sense of affinity!

I-I can't accept this! It's too valuable!

I'm sure Rin would be pleased, but giving it to me...

It's fine. I'm a magical girl, remember? And that... That is my special twinkling star.

That jewel may help you find your friend.

Fujimaru, what should we do?

O-Okay. Maybe it would be rude not to...

Yep, it would be rude.

I'm a queen, so I have no regrets. Ahahaha.

I agree with Master.

If it can help us in finding Miyu, then I think we should just give in and borrow it.

R-Right. Then we'll take it. We'll give it back to you later, Nursery.

...

？！

You did it, Illya! Let's keep going like this and gather more jewels!

Um, Ruby, have you lost sight of our goal?

We don't even know how this jewel will come in handy yet.

？！

Yes. Are you talking about that last battle?

My attack on Nursery Rhyme actually had an effect on heralbeit not completely.

Perhaps she and Queen Medb possess different traits, even though they're both magical girls?

...Or perhaps I myself have changed in some way?

I can't detect any significant changes in Mash's status from here.

That's not true. Mash's MG Power is skyrocketing!

MG Power? The magical systems in other worlds sure are original...

Talking Mystic Codes alone are unusual,

but that personality is so unique that it goes beyond rare and into the realm of junk...

My apologies for all the trouble. Please ignore 90% of whatever Ruby says.

...Ah! The jewel! This light... It's so bright!

Nursery Rhyme's jewel is clearly pointing us in a fixed direction.

Hmm. And the direction is...

Going by topography inside the Reality Marble that we've already identified, it's toward a group of islands situated in an ocean.

I'm guessing this is the "Land of Dragons and Sea" that Nursery Rhyme mentioned?

The Land of Dragons and Sea...

？！

...So we're not going to the Land of Snow and Honey, where Queen Medb is?

"When in magical lands, do as the mages do," is it? I see. That might be the case here.

I'll follow your instincts, Master.

Yes, I think that's a good idea. We don't know enough about this world.

At this rate, we could end up going in circles... or even worse, fall prey to a terrible trap!

But if the decision's been made, then come on! Mash, Fujimaru, let's hurry!
