A New Heroine Appears?!

Inside the Order

ED

Master, something shocking has happened.

You

Hm? What brings you all this way, ED?

Why do you look so flustered? Did something happen?

ED

There's a reason for it... Something really shocking has happened.

You

She must've been pretty shaken to keep repeating the word "shocking."

Care to elaborate?

ED

Yes. Have you heard that I once woke up from my dream?

You

Yeah, I heard about it from Aya. I was seriously taken aback.

ED

That's when I saw Xion's shocking true form.

You

"Shocking true form"? Xion would be upset if she heard you say that.

ED

It was more surprising than I imagined, but...

I didn't care how she looked.

What mattered more was seeing my precious sister while I was awake again.

You

Yeah... if I met family again after a long time and they'd turned into some cringelord version of themselves, I'd probably be shocked too.

ED

I don't care what Xion does or how she acts, but...

I guess it's a little hard to talk to her? It's like we were speaking on different wavelengths or something.

You

Different wavelengths?

ED

It's not easy for me to understand the things she likes...

And even if I try, it's hard because I don't get it.

You

If you DID get it, that'd be a problem of its own...

Come to think of it, a strange Yearning seems to have appeared next to ED.

Could how that Yearning manifested be ED's "shocking incident"?

If only Xion saw that...

She would probably have cried tears of joy.

ED, did you happen to come here to consult me about that thing floating next to your head?

ED

You can see this? You truly are a mysterious one, Master.

It appeared when I started wondering whether I needed to act more like Xion in order to understand her.

Are you familiar with this?

You

I'd better fill ED in on Yearnings.

I give ED a crash course on Yearnings.

ED

Since wishes are dreams... this phenomenon might be related to my own abilities.

In dreams, your wants and desires tend to surface unconsciously, after all.

B-But more importantly...

Does this mean my wish has... come true? This version of me... looking like my sister...?

Urgh...

You

ED is having a hard time after seeing this shocking version of herself!

She's in such distress simply from seeing a projection of herself dressed like that, all in an attempt to understand her sister...

Totally understandable if you have no resistance to cringelord behaviors...

???

I am ED the Eternal Bullet... Hehe. I'm Xion's sidekick!

ED

S-Stop it. Please! It's at it again, Master!!

Nata, have it stop! There must be something you can do!

Nata

Even if you ask me for help... It's not visible to me...

???

Xion wields dark power... and I wield DREAM power!

We are the sisters of nightmares... they call us the BAD DREAM SISTERS!

ED

B-Bad Dream Sisters?

Maybe Dark Dream Sisters would be better than Bad Dream Sisters...?

You

ED?

ED

Oops! Don't mind me, Master.

You

ED doesn't seem too fond of her Yearning.

Still... no matter how much she seems to dislike it, or say it's an insignificant desire...

Seeing how such a Yearning manifested... Maybe she doesn't even know it, but some part of her finds Xion kind of cool in some way?

ED

Is there something we can do about that thing, Master?

You

Unfortunately, no.

ED

Oh no... How can this be...?

You

How about you try to get used to it?

You know... actually give that outfit a try...

ED

You mean, actually put it on?

You

Give Xion a shout, and she'll bring one over right away.

Change into it for a few days, hang out with Xion, and you'll probably grow used to it.

ED

No. There's no way I'm doing that.

You

But understanding Xion is what you desire, right?

If you work at it little by little and start having fun with her, I'm sure you'll be happy.

ED

Y-You think? I mean, I suppose trying on that outfit isn't the worst thing in the world...

???

That's right! Xion and I are a duo! We are a PERRRRFECT COMBINATION!

Not to mention the SUPER AI ROBOT beside us, handling combat calculations... NATA!!

Hahaha, we're living the dream!

ED

Master, I can't listen to this anymore.

I know it's a representation of my desires... And desires are a good thing... But why am I so tormented?

On top of that, you want me to try to work at becoming more like THAT thing?

???

You don't need to work that hard! You're already Dark Bullet's companion. You're her sister! That makes you more than qualified to be the Eternal Bullet!

Tell me that's not cool!! Sisters with secret powers, moving unseen in the shadows... DARK BULLET and ETERNAL BULLET!!

ED

C-Cool?

N-No!! Of course it isn't!!

???

Not cool? Impossible! Look into my eyes! Behold my EVIL EYE!!

Just like Xion the Dark Bullet, my right eye glows red as well!

ED

Sisters, each bearing a mystical power in one eye...

Wait, if it's Xion's right eye, shouldn't it be the left one for me?

I mean, if it's a power that's been split between us like that...

???

Oh?

You

Huh?

ED

*Gasp!!* That just slipped out!!

???

Hehe. I knew you had what it takes to be the Eternal Bullet. You've got it in you.

ED

Don't call me that!!

You

That's right... ED is Xion's little sister.

Maybe she takes after her sister. I guess that's why she seems to possess natural cringelord potential...

ED

It seems staying here any longer won't solve this...

I'll head back now, Master.

Please come find me if you happen to figure out a way to silence that thing...

You

S-Sure.

Could it be that through ED's yearning, I caught a glimpse of her future?

The image of ED, side-by-side with Xion, making a big splash as the cringelord sisters...
