13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim

Part 26: Megumi Yakushiji 3



You guys voted for Megumi next, but we first need to unlock more Mystery Files.



This is one we already unlocked, now updated to be slightly less of a waste!



I unlocked this one offscreen, I believe.




Didn’t even notice that Morimura had the Magical Gun in Juro’s killdream. Interesting.



But now, it’s time for the most important unlock of all…





Heh.



And that was enough to get us to 6.




Chapter 26: Megumi Yakushiji 3




I guess Fluffy isn’t here either. I should get dinner ready.







Use Spatula on Kitchen



Time to cook some Hamburg steak.







Did you make all of this? Amazing…
We’ll eat once Juro gets back. Why don’t you go wash up while we wait?



Miura runs out of the room to quickly wash up.





Sounds like you’re pretty hungry.
It’s okay. I will wait.



Go ahead and eat before it gets cold.
No, I could never.
Please, I insist. Go ahead.
A-Are you sure? But what about you, Megumi-san?
Don’t worry. I’ll eat with Juro.

Does Juro know about that?

I see… *stomach growling*



Some time later…



It was as delicious as ever.



Can I help you with anything?
That’s okay. I’ve already put away the cutting board and everything. Why don’t you go watch some TV and relax?



Oh, Miura buddy, you’re about to have your mind fucking *blown*.

That’s better.



……



You don’t have to wear your hat in the house. The surgical scar on your forehead doesn’t bother me.



Did I tell you…?

Uh oh, think fast Megumi!

…! W-Well… It, um… Just a lucky guess.
I see…




Let’s consider Miura’s secret.




(It all happened right here…)

Music: LONER (Azusa Chiba)





You can’t overlook him just because he lives here.
But Juro could be home any minute. Does it have to be now?
Yes. Right now.




The video store explosion that occurred today in Keyaki-cho.
…!
An investigation found that the accident was the result of a gas leak.
This is what happened before…






Hurry up and shoot him, right in the forehead!
……




You always wear your hat, even when you eat.\
Megumi-san?
Why is that?



I have a scar on my forehead. I thought it might be unpleasant…
Oh, you don’t have to worry about that… *approaches*



Miura retreats!




How do you know about that…?

Use Magical Gun on Keitaro Miura



I’ll tell you. But can you show me your forehead first?

Why, sure! I can see no reason why not!

……





This will hurt. But you’ll soon forget.






Oh no, more of the ol’ glowy forehead. I’ve seen this before.

Music: A Clause With Claws (Rikako Watanabe)



There’s a component embedded in his forehead. It forces them to use their magic.
Who would do such a thing?

Probably Okino, considering what he said back in Natsuno’s story in 1945. Besides, he’s that kind of asshole.

Humans, obviously. There’s many that greatly covet this power.




This is a good catch.
The curse?
Yes. He is able to use magic… and not suffer the same fate as Juro.
…!



It won’t be long before he wakes. I’d get out of here if I were you.




Back in the present…




…on the gas explosion in Keyaki-cho.
…!?
The administration claims these explosions are being taken seriously. Gas companies have been put on immediate notice and instructed to be vigilant in their inspections.



Something doesn’t feel right…




…!




Dinner’s on the table for you.
It’s fine. I’m not hungry actually.
Come on, I’m sure you’ll change your mind once you start.
Why do you care about me so much anyways?
Oh, is that… bad?
Just quit treating me like a child.





…I’m sorry. But there’s somewhere I need to go. I won’t be long.




In between screenshots, Fluffy climbs onto the TV.



You’re going too damn slow.
(annoyed) All right, sorry.



Striking stupid poses with your gun doesn’t accomplish anything. When it comes to things like this… You need to do the deed quick. Quickly! You got that?
……
I’m sorry, I didn’t catch that.
(annoyed) Got it.

What is it with smug, annoying black cats and my LPs?



But you better not screw up this time.
This time?



He’s also a witch.



You should still have some bullets left.



…… I’ll get it done.

Music: BUDDIES (Azusa Chiba)



To see everything in this scene, I had to stitch together a number of different takes. Don’t worry about it.




……
Fine.



You were waiting for me on purpose, weren’t you?
……
I keep telling you. If they find out…
(simultaneously) We’ll get expelled/We’ll be expelled.
…!
Yeah, I know.
Right…





Morning.
Did you leave your motorcycle nearby again?
Sure did.
But won’t it be bad if the school finds out?
Nah, it just looks like a motorcycle. But it’s a regular bike.
Really?

Juro, you dumbass.

It’s obviously a joke. *laughs* I didn’t bring it into school, so no big deal.
You can still get in trouble.
Whatever. Our school doesn’t care.
I was wondering. Can I come over today?
Sure, why not.
Great.

Megumi, there’s a lull in the conversation! Approach! Now’s your chance!





Juro seems real annoyed. As he probably should be.

…… I’m not here to talk to you, Kurabe-kun. It’s you I’d like to see, Amiguchi-kun.
Me?



I am. My name is Megumi Yakushiji.
Cool. So, what can I do for you?
Well, I don’t really want to talk about it here…




Juro’s really annoyed now!



How about after school? Let’s say… the roof of the new building?
The roof?







N-No. Bye!



And then Juro… runs away like a complete idiot.







I won’t fail this time.







Ugh. Terrible. Man, pop quizzes just aren’t fair.
Hey, you know Amiguchi? He’s a first year, like us. The girls fawn over him, he’s great at sports… And his grades are higher than those nerds that study all the time.
Wow, he’s really got it all… Totally unfair, man.



Apparently, they used to be a lot worse.
I heard that too! My senpai told me. Ogata-kun from 1-D really reformed them.
But isn’t he a delinquent too?
Yeah, but he’s different from the others. Plus, Amiguchi-kun hangs out with him…
Oh, he is sooo dreamy!

Consider New Building Rooftop



(Shu Amiguchi… I wonder if he’s already on the roof.)

Music: LONER (Azusa Chiba)




All I have to do is shoot him.



I thought you were told to stop posing.

Okay. Here we go.



Just got shit on my mind. What about you? You look like hell. Somethin’ weighin’ you down?
Yeah… You could say that.



Oh, I totally forgot.



Welp, let’s get right to it then!

Use Magical Gun on Shu Amiguchi





Suddenly, Nenji lunges for the gun!



You’re one dangerous girl…



I need to wait for the right moment.

It was all just Megumi’s imagination. Let’s not do that after all.




What’s happening…?
Oh, this is Yakushiji-san. From 1-C.



Told me she had something to talk to me about.
This shit again…? Sheesh… Sometimes you’re real annoying to be friends with.



……



Oh, just stuff from middle school. Girls used to confess their love to me in front of him all the time.



I’m sorry, really… But I’ve got feelings for someone else.
…That’s not what I came here to tell you.
Oh, sorry. Awkward. So, what *do* you need?

Fucking lmao, what a dick. I’m gonna enjoy this.

Use Magical Gun on Shu Amiguchi

Music: Lonely Struggle (Rikako Watanabe)



This might hurt a little, anyway.











Shu disappears into the Sentinel, which starts to… take off into the sky!?




Well, shit.



Juro…



You…



And then a giant robot appeared…
You saw everything?
But why did you…? Where did it fly off to?



Run, Megumi! Looks like we gotta skip town!




Fluffy…



Damn it. How irritating…
Juro, he… He saw me do it.
I’ll take care of it.



I need to manipulate his memories… And make him forget everything he saw. You think I can do that with you hanging around?

Really wouldn’t know, cat!

Take a hint and scram!
