"Good grief, since when did violence come to rule the Silver Twilight?"
"Shut up, Conductor!"
In the center of the room, Seeker, Lusciera, and Kei formed a circle around the Conductor—who hung suspended in midair—and glared at her. They seemed to have suffered particularly badly.
"I helped you all, so why am I the one tied up? Look, that group over there—what a beautiful sight."
The Conductor pointed with her chin toward the edge of the room. There stood Nameless, frozen while still embracing Miroku and Mizuhi.
"What's wrong, Nameless?"
"Did you have a scary dream too, Nameless-chan? I had one so scary that just remembering it frightens me."
"…Just a little longer, like this."
Miroku and Mizuhi exchanged glances and nodded gently. Then, together, they hugged Nameless back.
"See? Isn't it thanks to me that your bond deepened so much? So why are you all talking as if I did something wrong?"
"Ugh— you really are asking for a lecture!"
Seeker jabbed her finger sharply at her, but the sight only made Conductor feel all warm and fuzzy.
"Heh heh, your face is bright red. How cute."
"Gah—! You two, scold her with me too!"
Having lost merely from being provoked by the Conductor—who was bound and temporarily sealed from lying—Seeker trembled and looked at the other two. The two nodded with gentle smiles, then each produced a great scythe and a pale silver sword.
"It wouldn't be so bad to punish her ourselves before handing her over to Lecturer."
"Yes. Let's just kill her."
"Wah, you two are scary. Someone help me— (monotone)"
Conductor swayed back and forth and half-heartedly called for help. Someone reacted to that voice before anyone else.
"Princess! I'll save you now!"
"That voice...!"
Rakka appeared from nowhere and stood in the Conductor's way as if to protect her. She readied an invisible spear in her hand, then slowly turned back toward the Conductor.
"I've kept you waiting, my beautiful Princess."
"Rakka-sama...!"
The two gazed at each other for a moment. Then they both burst out laughing at the same time.
"Pfft—ahahahahaha! You're tied up—! The Conductor's totally tied up—! Ahahahahaha!"
"Hey, come on. Don't laugh. Heh heh, hehehehe (benevolent uproarious laughter)"
Even though she was tied up, Conductor was laughing, and Rakka, despite having come to help, was only making fun of her for some reason. Seeing this, Lusciera and Kei simultaneously fired Converged Bombardment.
"Ah! Conductor, use Harmony to neutralize this bombardment!"
"Heh heh heh, im-pos-si-ble."
"Oh, okay! Later then!"
Alas, the Conductor was immediately abandoned. Rakka escaped just before being caught between the bombardments, then turned back at the violent explosion behind her and shouted.
"Princess—!"
"Wait, you totally just left her to die, didn't you?"
"Tch, I won't forgive you two! Why are you bullying the Conductor this much in the first place?"
"That woman deserves this kind of treatment."
"I agree."
"Is that really something to get this angry about? I mean, all I did was turn your dream into a bit of a nightmare to help you escape from it, right? You're not kids, so don't get mad over something like that. Or did I turn an especially good dream into a nightmare?"
"..."
Kei and Lusciera, who had been smiling and radiating pressure until now, suddenly became flustered at those words. It was a panic that would have been impossible for them under normal circumstances.
"I-it's none of your business, sensei. Yeah, the Conductor has probably reflected enough, so maybe we should leave it at this for our part."
"Yes, right. That's best. Let's end this topic. Come on, we need to defeat the next angel, don't we?"
"—No, not yet."
A beautiful voice came from within the black smoke. The next instant, the black smoke turned into sparkling purple particles from the edges outward, beautifully adorning a single person.
"What do you mean by that, Conductor?"
"Please don't point your blade at me while asking. You'll damage a maiden's soft skin."
"Even though you should have taken two Converged Bombardments at once..."
Kei's eyes widened in shock at her durability. Even after taking two of what could be called the strongest of Converged Bombardments, she didn't have a single scratch. But the Conductor herself didn't seem particularly concerned about it, and started walking as if it was only natural.
"What I did was only help you all escape from the angel's dream. In other words, the angel's main body still remains."
"...Now that you mention it, that's true. Where is the angel?"
"It'll be here soon."
The Conductor clapped her hands. In that instant, one of the room's walls was covered in skin color in a flash. The skin color occasionally generated static-like noise images, but showed nothing like before.
"Oh my, so we can't see the Sweet Little Sister or the Great Commentary anymore."
"!?"
Having had a bomb suddenly dropped on them, Kei and Lusciera tensed up. The others seemed to have question marks floating over their heads and didn't notice, but only Toa and Doctor sighed wearily.
"Hmm, well, that's enough."
The Conductor took out something like a baton and elegantly pointed it at the wall. Soon, by means of the Harmony Insignia, the angel itself was about to be remade into something convenient for the Conductor. But just then, some kind of image was projected onto the wall.
"…?"
It was a young girl chained up in a dim, prison-like place—
"Oh my, my."
The moment the image appeared, the wall instantly changed into a mass of flower petals. Multicolored petals danced with great force, covering everything in the area. As if painting over the image, she dyed everyone's vision with beautiful petals.
"Whoa, what is this?!"
"I harmonized the angel to my liking. This is a celebration of victory. Isn't it beautiful? It was a foolish angel to think it could defeat me in the world of consciousness."
When the Conductor snapped her fingers, the petals all at once transformed into beautiful butterflies and, with disciplined movements, flew out of the room and disappeared outside. The Conductor followed after them and, watching the swarm of butterflies disappear beyond the sky, muttered.
"An invasive species that was once an angel has been released into the wild."
"What are you doing?! Wait, those aren't the original species?!"
"Since I had an angel to work with, I wanted to make a new butterfly. As for the name, hmm... 'Yumemi Butterfly Imitation', I suppose."
"They're not even butterflies?! Hey, you can't just release those into the wild! Come baaack!"
Seeker desperately called out, but the Yumemi Butterfly Imitations had already crossed the fence and disappeared toward their new land. The Conductor gazed after the swarm with distant eyes. Once they were out of sight, she nodded firmly. That was probably a sign of her trust and respect for the Yumemi Butterfly Imitations that would now live in this world.

"Scholar, do you think those will survive?"
"Hmm, looks like they'll survive. That's a bit troublesome..."
The Doctor and the Scholar watched that and, as if none of it concerned them, made it a topic of idle chat.
Thus the second angel was splendidly and beautifully defeated. Therefore, the third calamity naturally manifested in this world. It was first witnessed by those who followed the butterflies to see them off.
"Hey, what is that?"
"I don't know—!"
"...Scholar, I'll ask you to analyze it. I'll dive into the Multiple Advocacy Space."
Ahead of the Doctor's and Scholar's gazes, the entire sky had stopped. And from a rift in it fell a leg that must have been hundreds of meters long.
It kicked up a spectacular cloud of dust and landed perfectly.
"Conductor, you did something again, didn't you?!"
"Have there been any incidents up to now that were my fault? No, right?"
Calamities attacked without end. The third angel descended upon this world as if taking the butterflies' place.
『Now then, first, the third angel whose charm point is these huge white thighs, Muchimoon, will be your opponent.』
『They finally summoned just a thigh on its own...』
『—L-i-k-e I said! This is exactly why your content always ends up one-note, because you try to push everything with erotica first! The preconception that social games = lewd games is no good!』
『You too try to judge everything by whether it'll sell or appeal to the masses. Content should be inherently free, shouldn't it? How long are you going to stay bound by foolish numbers?^^ You're the one trapped by patterns, aren't you?』
『Hey, you two over there. Stop arguing and come back already. Because a huge thigh just fell from the sky.』
