[Nun TF, Semi-Twinning, Brainwashing Mantras]

"While I'm grateful that you came with me, Maria, you really didn't have to. Doesn't SONG require your presence?"

"Consider me as a secondary agent, Tsubasa. Besides, the others can handle it. Whether it's those two, her, or Chris."

"I suppose you're right. Still, to think that this would be an alternative option instead of going to yet another variety show..."

Kazanari Tsubasa was a popular singer. As a result, she got a lot of invites to various events that she had to participate in. There were just two problems with said events. The first was that she actually had to skip town and avoid some of them, due to the attacks that several fractured Illuminati cells ended up carrying out. Even if most of them weren't aimed at her venues, she was still a defender. She fought to defend those that needed it.

And it was that need to fight that served as the second reason why she wasn't fond of these quiz shows and events. She was hopelessly unaware of the kinds of things that could be asked, and frequently gave very out-there answers to a lot of what she was presented with. Which, while harmless in the long run since it didn't exactly harm her reputation, definitely served to fill her with shame and embarrassment. So the fact she could avoid another one was a delight.

The pink-haired girl at her side, Maria Cadenzavna Eve, had once been a singer just like her. But after a stint of acting as if she was Finé's reincarnation, and then becoming part of SONG and fighting alongside Tsubasa and all the other Symphogear users, meant that she was essentially retired. She did still pop out to do a few duets with Tsubasa here and there, but her life was mainly on the battlefield. Ironic, given that she would love to try and sing her heart out a lot more often.

"Indeed. Religious choir duty? If I didn't know any better, I would've assumed you ended up with the same problem I have." Maria said, as she took a glance at the church ahead of them. "There were a few times where I was made to do civil service thanks to my sentence. But this is something else..."

"It'll probably be fine." Tsubasa said with a soft smile on her face. "As much as this feels a bit absurd, there's nothing to imply that anything might go wrong. What's the worst that could happen, a bunch of alchemists popping out of nowhere?" She was acting a little cocky and a little confident when she said that. Not entirely out of character, especially after having people like Maria and Chris near her for so long.

"If you keep acting like that, you'll end up just like Chris by the time I see you again." Maria snarked, before taking her good friend's hand. "Shall we? I assume we've kept them waiting long enough. Especially since somebody decided that it was best if she tried to drive here instead of letting her agent do it."

Tsubasa blushed a little. It was a different kind of shame that rushed through her at this point. A shame that was born from honest teasing. "I-I drive well, don't you dare try to start something! If anything, you're the bad driver, 'Finé'!" She huffed, especially as she was forced to break into a sprint once Maria broke into a run and headed towards the church..

It hadn't been so long since Tsubasa wasn't able to make a joke like this. Back when she was still suffering from her time without Kanade. But thanks to everyone, she had been able to recover. And she had become much stronger, all thanks to the support that they gave her. So what if it meant that she experienced a little shame? It was the least she could do for her friends...

Maria smirked a little as she watched Tsubasa chase after her, while keeping a good grip on her hand. Making sure that she stayed in the front, right up until they made it to the church itself. Once there, they both calmed down and quietly walked inside instead of causing a scene. They were here to do something important, after all...

"Ah! The singers! Welcome, welcome!"

Both Tsubasa and Maria froze as they saw the nun that greeted them. A blonde woman with very particular looking bangs. Both of them intimately familiar with those very same bangs, causing their hearts to skip several beats. There was no way, right..?

The woman that had greeted them, the woman kept nice and snug and secure by her black and white habit, was... Finé. At least, that's who she looked like. But there was no way. They were sure that she was dead. Not only that, but her soul had been killed thanks to a small accident. So why... Why was she here? Why was she here to torment them again..?

"Hm?" The Nun tilted her head slightly as she noticed the hostility radiating from the two of them. "Is... Is something the matter? Singer Tsubasa? Singer Maria?" She sounded just like her too. Even though that should be impossible. There was absolutely nothing that should allow for her presence. And yet...

Tsubasa did her best to remain calm, especially as she let go of Maria's hand. "N-Nothing's wrong. Sorry. Just a little shocked at your appearance, miss." She had to be honest. What else was she supposed to do when confronted with something like this? If she wasn't honest, then she wouldn't be able to face her while doing her duty. It just didn't make sense.

Maria nodded. "Your appearance is very familiar to us, so we were just a little shocked. It's nothing important, the woman you resemble just happened to be very similar..." She explained as well, hoping not to offend the nun with her words. Not that she expected to, but it would be nice to avoid getting into unnecessary verbal combat when the opportunity presented itself.

The nun lit up and nodded, chuckling a little as well. "I never expected to be compared to somebody so famous. To think that Singer Maria and Singer Tsubasa would consider my look so memorable." She chimed, before bowing her head. "Thank you both for taking time out of your schedule to come and visit. The Holy Mother's Church would love to have your tones added to our choir, even if it's for about a day and no longer." She explained, before extending her arm to guide them into the main part of the church. "Let me show you inside, and show you where you're meant to stand and sing."

Maria and Tsubasa could breathe a small sigh of relief at the fact that she didn't blame them in the slightest. But that didn't mean that they could rest easy. Because as soon as they entered the main part of the church, their minds started to flare up again. And it was all thanks to something that they had to actively try to ignore to avoid noticing it.

The statue of the church's Goddess wasn't that of a vaguely feminine figure. No, it very clearly depicted a version of Finé. Old robes and all. Which only served to make the Sister that much more worrying. Was she possessed in some fashion, or was this just the way that the church honored their Goddess?

"Hmm? Is something the matter? Singer Maria? Singer Tsubasa?" The Finé-like nun asked as she turned towards the two, a naturally worried look on her face. "Please. Do speak up if there's something that's bothering you. We can't accommodate you if we're not aware of what's causing you to feel so worried." She said, gently bowing her head. All because she wanted to make sure that the two ladies were well and truly welcome in this church. All so they could sing alongside them...

Maria cast a glance towards Tsubasa. She was the one that had been invited after all. Which prompted the blue-haired girl to take a deep breath. "I apologize. I was just caught off guard by your Goddess. Is... Is your hair a homage to her?" She asked the obvious question. Best to just get it out of the way, so they could try and focus on something else. Yes, that truly was the best idea...

The Finé-like nun breathed a sigh of sweet relief once Tsubasa asked that question. "Oh, goodness. I thought we had offended you in a much bigger way." The fact it was just an issue with the look of her Goddess... Ah, what a relief. "Indeed. The Holy Mother has blessed us with much, so the least that we could do in turn was to replicate her look. I know it fills you both with concern, but I must assure you. Every single one of the sisters here are more than willing to prove that we truly wish no harm. We merely wish to spread the message of our Holy Mother."

"Of course." Tsubasa said with a smile. It was a relief to her as well. Knowing that she understood, even if it made both Maria and her a little uncomfortable. "Perhaps we should just start with choir practice, then? I'm sure that once we get to know each other better, all of these feelings will be gone before you know it." She spoke from experience. Working alongside Maria and fighting against threats had helped their bond deepen plenty. Singing with these sisters was definitely going to help too.

Maria did feel a little nervous still, especially as she gazed upon the nun. But at the same time, her sweet smile was reassuring. Peace-filled even. So she just sighed and nodded. Better not to worry about it too much. "What kind of hymn or song would you like us to sing, Sister? I'm not familiar with the teachings of this church, but they seem rather specialized."

The Finé-like nun nodded as she walked towards the stage in the back, where all the nuns gathered for the choir. Right now, only she and the two Singers were present. Leaving the stage rather empty as she climbed onto it. "You'll both understand once you step foot on this stage. Trust me." She said, keeping that smile on her face as she guided them up onto the stage.

To say that it was suspicious was an understatement. Yet both Maria and Tsubasa stepped onto the stage, because they truly did wish to help. So what if this girl looked like Finé? So what if the Goddess herself looked like her? They couldn't know what she had done. Only they were aware, and as far as they knew, she had no lingering influence. And even in a church like this, with devotees ready to worship her image, there's no way that it could result in anything horrible.

As Maria and Tsubasa stood at the side of the Sister, they watched her weave her hands together. Almost as if she was conducting a prayer. Well, it'd be best if they joined her. To show that they were willing to give her faith a shot, while they were present for this choir business.

"O Holy Mother."

"O Holy Mother."

"Grant us Grace."

"Grant us Grace."

"Hold us in your Embrace."

"Hold us in your Embrace."

"May you bring Life and Love to All."

"May you bring Life and Love to All."

"So that All may bring Love to You."

"So that All may bring Love to You."

Maria and Tsubasa blinked as they lost themselves in the prayer, only really noticing that they had recited everything perfectly once the Sister started. It was like they had known this prayer all this life. Naturally, they had. They were... w-wait...

"Hm? Sister Maria? Sister Tsubasa? Is there something wrong?" The Finé-like Sister asked as she turned towards the two once more, kneeling down to gaze into their eyes. "I know you serve as part of the choir, but that's no reason to neglect your prayers. You wouldn't be feeling this way if you let the Holy Mother into your hearts and relaxed, you know."

Her voice was now a lot more familiar to the two. It was as if they had heard it their entire life. Of course they had. She was there when they first joined the church. When they were first introduced to the Holy Mother. When they... N-No, that wasn't... R-Right..? They... They were...

Tsubasa trembled, barely able to notice her hair turning blonde just like the Sister's. All while her ponytail was undone and it extended outward, spreading and turning blonde. All while her clothes were being reformed into a nun's habit, one that showed off a generous bust. A generous bust that she just so happened to grow...

Maria was in the same boat. She had grown to know this feeling. It was like... It was like when she was trying to reassure herself that she was Finé. But now, it felt genuine. Especially as she noticed her hair taking on its natural color, the gentle blonde of the Holy Mother. All while her habit took on the same look as Tsubasa's, showing off her bust... Showing off her sensual self, as any Sister of the Holy Mother should...

It was hard to keep their thoughts straight. It was like something was actively causing them to think that they had always been part of this Sisterhood. Because of course they had been. They had been young orphans that the church had taken in, girls that were raised to believe in all of the church's values. Raised to believe that they too, were the spawn of the Holy Mother... N-No... M-Maybe..?

Their Sister watched their expressions of doubt, as she slowly pulled them into a hug. Carefully pressing her lips against their cheeks. "O Holy Mother. Grant us Grace..." She prayed quietly, as she held them nice and tight. All to make sure that they were comfortable. All to make sure that they didn't let themselves fall prey to these malicious thoughts...

Both Sisters trembled as their Sister held them, right as their eyes started to turn gold like hers. Then, and only then, did they start to breathe a lot more slowly and calmly. They had been claimed by such malicious thoughts. But their Sister was here for them. Here to make sure that they were alright...

So they joined their hands in prayer. Looking like identical twins, looking like Finé, the Holy Mother herself. And they started to chant once more, performing a prayer that would keep them safe and secure until it was time to perform as part of the choir...

"O Holy Mother..."

"I can't believe Senpai and Maria both ended up disappearing! What, did they suddenly turn a new leaf and become religious all of a sudden?"

Yukine Chris was loudly complaining as she stomped outside of the Holy Mother's Church. She had been looking forward to some alone time with those two, and yet they just suddenly disappeared. A week had passed since then, and they still hadn't shown up. So she took it upon herself to figure out why they had suddenly vanished. Mainly because nobody else bothered to go find out, since they were too damn busy!

"I swear. If they're just goofing off and leaving me out of it..." Chris grumbled as she stomped towards the entrance to the Holy Mother's Church. Knocking on the door... And then kicking it a bit after she hadn't gotten an answer. "HEY! ANYBODY IN HERE? I'M LOOKING FOR KAZANARI TSUBASA AND MARIA CADENZAVNA EVE! THEY WERE LAST SEEN HERE, SO YOU BETTER KNOW WHERE THEY ARE!"

Chris didn't even realize that the door opened while she was shouting, because she was still knocking her hand forward. Right into a pair of big breasts, prompting soft giggles from the Sister that got her tits punched by the short girl. Promptly causing the white-haired gal to blush as she pulled her hand back. "Sorry."

"Oh, there's no issue at all. The Holy Mother understands completely. All young souls that have not yet experienced her Love find themselves tossed astray, all thanks to their many feelings bubbling around inside them." The nun that spoke to Chris sounded eerily familiar. And not just because she sounded like Finé, which made the short girl's eyes open wide.

Chris took another good look at the Sister. And then at the other Sister that stood at her side. Both of them looked eerily like Finé. Only, there were a few traits that made them look like... T-Tsubasa and Maria? The hell!? "Senpai, Maria, is this some sort of prank?" She said, glaring at Tsubasa's tits. The very same that she had just punched a few seconds ago.

"Hm? Sister, do you recognize those names?" "I don't, Sister. It seems like she's mistaking us for others... Oh dear, her life is truly taking a turn if she's mistaking strangers for those close to her. She needs the Holy Mother's love. As quickly as possible..." The two Sisters conversed amongst themselves for a second, before turning back towards Chris with soft smiles on their faces.

Before Chris knew what the two Sisters were trying to do, they pulled her into a two-sided hug. Trapping her head in between their melons, as those massive mounds were docked around her head. And she certainly tried to struggle free, because there's no way that she was going to endure more strange treatment at the hands of two doses of Finé, even if they actually were two of her closest friends..!

"O Holy Mother. Grant us Grace..."

Then they started chanting. And Chris could feel her body trembling. Her mind... slipping... Why was she struggling against her Sisters- No, they were.. .They... Soft...

One chant had easily turned them into Sisters. So two chants from two sides left Chris completely vulnerable, as her Finéfication quickly progressed. All to the delight of her Sisters, who couldn't help but smile even more.

The Holy Mother's love was spreading. Just as she always wanted...
