==Story Synopsis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--[[Image:NT Index Logo.jpg|200px|thumb|New Testament Logo]]--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;This series is a direct sequel and continuation of &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Toaru Majutsu no Index]]&#039;&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Toaru Majutsu no Index: New Testament]]&#039;&#039;&#039;.&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Science and magic exist side by side in this world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is the peak of the science side with a curriculum for espers, Academy City. In this city where 80% of the population are students, the season has finally come when all residents are excited and fidgety!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s Christmas Eve.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Amidst the city showing a cheerful hustle and bustle, ordinary boy who can’t keep up with school, Kamijou Touma, also doesn’t intend to miss this event! He was hard at work in his supplementary lessons...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A backward glance from the default misfortune-prone bastard, the silver-haired sister freeloading in his dormitory, Index, in the heart pounding scene different from the usual, activates a new gluton skill!? While Kamijou tries to desperately stop that, Misaka Mikoto taken in by the Christmas Eve atmosphere appears before him.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Chapter 1: A Deadly Misunderstanding – New_Weapon_ZONE.==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 1===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hamazura Shiage was trapped.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was inside a small, cramped silver box.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to his phone’s broken screen, it was &#039;&#039;just before&#039;&#039; 4 PM on January 9.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The space was a die-like cube with two or three meter sides. It was probably no more than a cargo container with a lock attached so it would function as a prisoner transfer cell. Transporting humans like cargo was in violation of aviation law and international law, but Hamazura had apparently been arrested by the British government(?). When treaties between nations were involved, apparently the rules could be easily bent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Justice was cheap.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From individuals to entire populations, interpretations of it were easily changed by circumstances and convenience. In light of that, Coronzon trying to destroy the world based on the vague ideas of good and evil didn’t seem all that bad.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…Or maybe that was why. Coronzon had taken the side of evil, which had allowed her to accurately sniff out the deception. Had she wanted to stabilize the world by focusing on an absolute value system that existed separate from good and evil?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But more people than she had expected had rejected that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maybe Coronzon really had been a great demon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But the world was aflood with small evils, wasn’t it? When brought together, there may have been enough to kill and surpass a great demon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Kh.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He held a cheap smartphone with a broken screen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That small device contained the AI named Aneri.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He wasn’t just a Level 0.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So no longer could he use his lack of power and talent as an excuse to ignore the choice to fight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He must have been angry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He must have felt it was unforgivable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…His feelings were directed at the entire world that hadn’t hesitated to kill Coronzon to reclaim balance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A trump card had undeniably found its way into Hamazura’s hand. He knew that. How he made use of this one-time-only opportunity would greatly change what happened afterwards. He could sense that he stood at a crossroads.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He couldn’t bring himself to accept something here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They had called Coronzon a great demon, ganged up on her to attack as a group, and celebrated a world without her. They had rejoiced the return of a peaceful age. Maybe no one getting hurt was a good thing, but that didn’t meant he could fully accept what had happened.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(But…)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He hung his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aneri was waiting. Like a well-trained butler or maid. If he gave the word – if he relied on Aneri – it would likely do anything for him. It wouldn’t hesitate even if that meant breaking Japan’s laws or Academy City’s rules.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was the thing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Going on a meaningless rampage to break everything around him wouldn’t satisfy him. This couldn’t be solved by indiscriminately attacking innocent people.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He hated this world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But he had a feeling that method wouldn’t satisfy him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Coronzon had tried to create a better world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A new world filled with just, kind, and beautiful things.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her methods may have been extreme, but ultimately she had loved this ridiculous and imperfect world. So taking the easy and indiscriminate path of evil felt wrong here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Then what exactly do I want to do with this world? I have a reason to change it and I’ve been given the power to do that…but what exactly should I do with Aneri? What the hell would be best to honor Coronzon’s memory!?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So to make it very clear, Hamazura Shiage had not actually arrived at a decision. Without a goal in mind, he hadn’t had any intention of ordering AI Aneri to do anything.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And yet…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Clatter clatter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The delinquent boy heard a sound.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A weird sound that had no connection to his own will.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The tightly locked cell door suddenly opened. More specifically, the metal shutter for the die-shaped air cargo container opened straight up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But no one was there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All he saw outside the cell was what appeared to be an indoor space awash with artificial light.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hamazura stared past the steel door he hadn’t asked to open into the visible slice of a bright world and asked a question.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Aneri, did you do that?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His phone buzzed twice. As if shaking its head no.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apparently Aneri hadn’t done anything.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…Then why had this happened? This cubic container had been modified into a cell, so it would never open all on its own. Or had the Brits in charge of the cell opened it on purpose? Were they itching to shoot him dead as a fugitive once he took even one step outside?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No, I must be overthinking this…” he told himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes. Going that far was overthinking it, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t afraid. Coincidence or not, he knew thoughtlessly leaving the cell would only exacerbate his situation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The question wasn’t where he would go. It was why he would leave.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He needed a goal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What could he do for Coronzon?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even with Aneri, he shouldn’t make any kind of move without a goal in mind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Will they blame me for this too? Damn, what a pain. Well, I know those ‘righteous heroes’ are conspiring to get me found guilty, so what’s another charge or two?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That offhand line of thought was interrupted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wah!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He heard a dull whump.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the container yard where ordinary travelers weren’t allowed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Was she lost?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A small girl of around 13 had tripped and fallen just outside the open door. She must have been wearing an adult size because the sleeves fully hid her hands and it came down to her ankles, making it hard to balance. The chestnut-haired girl wore a fluffy oversized coat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But she didn’t complain of the pain or start crying.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She didn’t even get back up as she stared at a certain point.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The girl’s terrified eyes weren’t directed inside the open cell. She was looking at something Hamazura couldn’t see from his position.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The clacking noises he heard clearly weren’t human footsteps.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“N-no… Help.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;It&#039;&#039; slowly approached the trembling and frozen girl.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hamazura could finally see it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Was it a police dog, or a more specialized drug-sniffing dog? Either way, one of the large Dobermanns used for airport security was wandering around off its leash. And it wasn’t alone. There were five of them. At that point, they were a pack of wild animals.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To make matters worse, the girl’s baggy sleeves were shaking.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fear wasn’t something you could suppress through sheer force of will. But when those trained dogs saw the “threat” of her moving arms, they would react by biting at them and dragging her to the floor. A thoroughly trained Dobermann’s jaws could cause critical damage to that small girl’s thin arms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hamazura was certain of it after being chased by Anti-Skill dogs through Academy City’s back alleys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He knew all too well what would happen if no one intervened.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And he had encountered the situation a second before it happened.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…It was time to decide what was good and what was evil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The question wasn’t whether or not the metal shutter was open.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If he was going to obey the rules, then staying in the cell was unquestionably the correct choice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No additional circumstances changed the fact that Hamazura Shiage was a criminal and the rules said he couldn’t leave this cell without permission from Academy City or the United Kingdom who had custody of him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even if a Dobermann’s sharp fangs sank into the 13-year-old girl’s arm and dragged her to the floor and even if the pack of dogs tore her to pieces like she was an old rag. Even then, the correct choice was to stay put and wait until whoever was in charge showed up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That would prove he was a rule follower, the world managed by justice would gradually accept him once more, his crimes would be forgiven to an extent, and he would be able to return to society sooner.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He would be able to live as one more harmless and heartless “good person”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“&#039;&#039;To hell with that.&#039;&#039;”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A dull “thunk!!” sounded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The source came from within the open cell. Hamazura Shiage had thrown his phone, scoring a direct hit on the Dobermann’s face. It probably goes without saying at this point, but if you weren’t afraid of bricking it, a smartphone made for a decently heavy and solid weapon. They weren’t compared to bricks for no reason.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For a brief moment, they flinched.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not just the muscular Dobermanns, but the scared and trembling girl as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hamazura slowly emerged from the cubic cell.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After being rejected by society and living in the filthy back alleys, he knew flinching like this would freeze an opponent in place like they were paralyzed, but it wouldn’t last forever. If you actually wanted to save someone and not just put on a tear-jerking performance, a single blow wasn’t enough.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Go.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He kept it short.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And he moved to stand between the Dobermanns and the girl whose name he didn’t know.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hurry.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He heard an “au” sound that could have been a word or a breath.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her staggering escape was unsteady. He could have caught up to her at a brisk walk. For that matter, what was she even running from? The pack of large dogs, or the dangerous criminal who had emerged from the cell?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(As if it matters.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She wouldn’t be mistaken if she thought of him as a villainous criminal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He had lost all interest in what was “right”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He didn’t want to amass good deeds so he could be known as a good person.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For that matter, these Dobermanns wandering the airport off their leashes weren’t even an absolute evil in his mind. This was all needless pain and violence. If the airport workers &#039;&#039;who managed the justice of this place&#039;&#039; had actually done their jobs, these dogs wouldn’t need to be disparaged as evil in the first place.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was something there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hamazura felt a small but unpleasant stimulus deep in his mind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because this reminded him of Coronzon who had lamented that the world couldn’t function without someone like her to tear people’s bonds apart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An electronic alarm sounded from a short distance away. From his phone lying on the floor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aneri was sending him a warning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just as his attention focused there, the Dobermanns made their move.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maybe they weren’t even looking at him at all. It looked to him like their legs were trying to carry them toward the fleeing girl’s back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He shouted to the cracked phone lying on the floor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Aneri!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
→PK→→PGP←→KKPKT&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The industrial LCD screens on the walls and pillars were all hacked at once.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(P and K I get, but G? And what is T? Throw maybe!?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Whatever the case, he had the optimal answer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He only had to memorize it and follow it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was less like gritting his teeth and duking it out with an enemy and more like playing an arcade dancing game. He moved his hands and feet as the instructions told him and found the powerful Dobermanns had already been brought to the floor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was refreshing how the dull impacts seemed to reach him only after the fact.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, sorry…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The five Dobermanns had all been knocked out in just three seconds. That was less than a second per dog.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If only Coronzon had been stopped like this. If only someone had done that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He knew it was a silly hypothetical, but still.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And he couldn’t forget that this was AI Aneri’s power, not his own.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I get the feeling you’ll be overclocking my brain one of these days.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was answered by a short buzz.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He wasn’t sure how to react to a response of “Yes, shall I do so now?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The immediate threat of the Dobermanns had been neutralized and the girl who had been unfortunately targeted had escaped. There was nothing else for him to do.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Returning to the die-like cell would be the right thing to do…probably.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He collected his phone from the floor and hid behind a different container.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not even he was sure why he had done so.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next change had already begun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 2===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Kamijou-chaaaan, you really are going to be held back this time.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 135cm teacher named Tsukuyomi Komoe smiled at him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inside the faculty room after school.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kamijou Touma was sweating profusely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wow, congratulations. I’m so flattered you so wanted to spend more time studying with me that you would set your entire life back by a year.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wait, wait, please wait!! Stop upping the scale of the problem here. I have a more grounded question I’d like to ask. I’m being held back? Like, that’s for sure? Then why did I even bother dying and coming back to life to protect the world!? It sure as hell wasn’t to have this happen!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Try to confuse me all you like, Kamijou-chan, but I am a civil servant. Government jobs where paperwork is everything can be heartless, but you really won’t be able to avoid being held back if you don’t fix this immediately. Do you remember how you were officially considered dead and we even had a funeral for you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yeah, but I got the frog-faced doctor to confirm I’m alive!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The document saying so never arrived here. What did you do with such an important document? Without that, I can’t count your attendance even if you are in class. We don’t run a ghost school where the dead are allowed to take classes.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But I sent it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It never arrived.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I stuck it in one of those big document envelopes, covered it in stamps, and shoved it inside the mailbox!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“And I’m telling you it never arrived. Also, you shouldn’t cram one of those thick document envelopes inside the red mailboxes on the side of the road. You’re supposed to drop it off at the post office.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…Did this mean what he thought it did?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kamijou had sent the important document, but it had gotten lost during the delivery process and never arrived at the school?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“H-how am I even supposed to find it now? Ahhhh, why don’t they let you search for the GPS location of your delivery like they do with packages from online stores.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He had had a bad feeling about it from the moment he learned it was a paper document. Ever since smartphones became the norm, physical documents began to feel weird. When he could have submitted it online in seconds, why did they still use such an outdated system!? The government should really think more about the feelings of people who had just dealt with dying, journeying through hell, and coming back to life!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But Komoe-sensei didn’t seem all that concerned.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s probably in District 23, don’t you think?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Huh? That’s where the airport and rocket launch pads are, right? Why would it be there?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Because the most high tech cargo and mail management system is located there. And customs processing too. They have machines read the labels and automatically sort the mail, but I’ve heard any that can’t be read and get lost will end up in that district. Occasionally they keep trying to deliver one of my packages when I’m not home and I have to go pick it up there.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes. That was why Kamijou Touma paid a visit to District 23 after school.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…Which leads back to him capturing two dangerous girls in the supposedly ultra safe international airport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 3===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Tatemiya-san.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yeah?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Exceptionally large Tatemiya Saiji casually raised a hand to greet the small nun who wore special sandals with soles more than 20cm thick.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They were in the employees only area of the massive international airport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Specifically, in the air cargo container yard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“He got us good. I thought for sure he would wait until we were outside Academy City if he was going to try and escape…but maybe you can’t expect a fugitive to think rationally when they have nothing left to lose. We won’t be able to predict what he’ll do next.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It only looked like a silver die with two or three meter sides at first glance, but it was in fact a cell made of the finest Anglican techniques. Even professional magicians like Tatemiya and Agnese weren’t confident they could escape on their own if they were locked inside…yet the metal shutter had easily been opened.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Agnese Sanctis put a hand on her hip.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“He’s just some high school boy led astray by Coronzon. …When I first heard about it, I thought witch hunt grade was overkill for the cell. I mean, the keyhole uses a twisted loop lock to keep it shut in a Möbius shape. Trying to break that would only be an endless waste of time.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“And yet he managed to escape. Do you really think an ‘ordinary high schooler’ could do that?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tatemiya watched as Itsuwa, Nomozaki, and the other Amakusas slowly circled around the die-like container. They drew out a large circle on the floor with fine salt, erecting a barrier around the container.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They had intentionally made the barrier extremely weak.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Any trace of magic power would break the barrier, allowing them to detect its presence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A reading here would at least tell them which direction he had fled in…but their hopes weren’t high.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fleeing of his own free will meant Hamazura Shiage had no intention of receiving a fair trial. They had to assume he would act hostilely toward the Anglicans.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The question was what harm his negative emotions would lead to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I did what research I could into Hamazura Shiage after he sided with Coronzon, but he’s nothing special. Using science’s terms, he’s a Level 0, which means he can’t do anything on his own. And as a Level 0, the changes to his body prevent him from using magic. In that sense, he isn’t too much of a threat.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“&#039;&#039;Do not underestimate Level 0s.&#039;&#039;”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The look on Agnese’s face said she knew a very obvious example of why that was a bad idea.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yeah, that’s the thing, isn’t it?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tatemiya sighed softly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although that pointy-haired boy was such an outlier he probably wasn’t a useful data point.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The problem is, ultimately, Coronzon.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But she’s supposed to already be dead. …Are you suggesting he’s come down with Stockholm syndrome and is still trying to help her?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s worse than that.” Tatemiya readily rejected that idea. “It’s easy to overlook it since being a demon with a physical body made her an extreme exception, but on a fundamental level, angels and demons are collections of energy.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“&#039;&#039;Sitra Achra.&#039;&#039;”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The material that was the root of all evil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The remnants of the old world that remained in the current world which had supposedly been perfectly designed. Their very presence caused the world to malfunction and brought about all sorts of misfortune and tragedy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Agnese had heard that Great Demon Coronzon herself had mentioned the term. Although then it had looked like a small crystal and she had used it like a stun grenade.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tatemiya Saiji nodded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“And Telesma can be infused within all forms of matter in the physical world. In talismans, amulets, clothing, magic circles, buildings…and even &#039;&#039;people&#039;&#039;.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The tension in the air didn’t just come from Agnese.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was a leader with nearly 250 former Catholics under her command. She had to avoid reacting too much and spreading excess confusion to the others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So she asked a cautious question.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You mean her Sitra Achra was imbued &#039;&#039;within Hamazura Shiage&#039;&#039;?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I don’t know.” Tatemiya shook his head. “After all, the records show this wasn’t his first contact with Coronzon. To be honest, I don’t think she had time for any extra detours with everything else going on in Academy City. Not to mention that the two of them could only have been in physical contact for about an hour.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yes, &#039;&#039;what if she had set this up back when they were together in the UK&#039;&#039;? That would change things.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The analogy was far from perfect, but it was like hypnotism.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once a long time had been spent setting things up in the target’s head, only a snap of the fingers was needed to produce the desired effect. In that case, any time restrictions were irrelevant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hamazura Shiage had spent a significant period of time with Great Demon Coronzon in England and Scotland. Not even the Anglicans knew what the two of them had discussed during that time. It was possible he had received &#039;&#039;something&#039;&#039; from her during that unobserved time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And Hamazura himself might not have even been aware of it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If Coronzon’s Telesma – her Sitra Achra – was placed inside Hamazura Shiage, it changes the threat level considerably. He can’t fire Adikalika with &#039;&#039;only&#039;&#039; Coronzon’s power…but if he filled in some of the holes in his abilities, it could &#039;&#039;become possible&#039;&#039;.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Espers couldn’t use magic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…Or so they said, but it was more accurate to say the differences in espers’ bodies meant the process used to refine their life force into magic power would cause malfunctions and side effects that shredded their blood vessels and nerves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So it wasn’t a sure thing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With a separate energy source like Coronzon, he wouldn’t need to use his own life force at all. So the possibility remained that he could use a superhuman demon spell without any of the side effects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not to mention that, if Hamazura chose to self-destructively use a powerful piece of magic, he might be able to push past the side effects regardless.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That would lead to a world-destroying spell activating at the cost of a single boy’s life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Agnese sighed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Even if he’s a Level 0, if an Academy City student launched an attack on the Vatican using Adikalika, we’d be right back where we were. No, it might actually be worse than when an outside force like Coronzon had hijacked the city.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sitra Achra acted like a computer virus you thought you had fully expunged from the system but returned after the recovery process was complete. They had defeated Coronzon themselves, but the threat of Adikalika persisted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A continuous vague threat was not a good environment for diplomacy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That said…we did defeat Coronzon once. Even if Hamazura Shiage had received a portion of her power as Sitra Achra, he can’t be any worse than she was, can he?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Don’t be so sure.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Agnese seemed to be trying to force a positive spin on the idea, but Tatemiya shot it down. In fact…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That may have been Coronzon’s limit as a purely magical being, but Hamazura Shiage might have more knowledge of the science side than she did. He’s drawing on a different knowledge source. If the mixture of magic and science triggers some bizarre chemical reaction, his simple power ranking might not mean much.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The sample size was too small to say anything for sure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And Tatemiya wouldn’t be the only one who wanted to fill the blanks with pessimistic predictions as a defensive measure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Besides…it was practically a miracle we defeated Coronzon the first time around. How many different groups and plans do you think were at work that night? Are you confident we can intentionally gather all that around Kamijou Touma a second time?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Think of it like summer homework. That had been the absolute peak of their ability, so their long-term plans would fall apart if they assumed that as the baseline.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They had to act on the assumption that wouldn’t happen again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Agnese was also an outsider underling, so she must have caught the scent of some dirty work. She grimaced.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Then we have to deal with the escaped prisoner…like that?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I doubt our Priestess will give &#039;&#039;that sort&#039;&#039; of order.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was just the kind of person the leader of the Amakusas was.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One look at Kanzaki Kaori’s Magic Name was enough to know she would never allow killing. The wicked were no exception there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;However.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Who said that was any reason to relax?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tatemiya Saiji’s eyes were on another two standing a short distance away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stiyl Magnus and Isabella Theism.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Their atmosphere…no, their world was different.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Those two are &#039;&#039;genuine&#039;&#039; Necessarius members. So they probably will order a witch hunt. …In other words, to kill him once we find him.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 4===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Aneri, do you know what they’re talking about?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The cracked phone buzzed twice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meaning no.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I can’t tell either.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hamazura Shiage was in the container yard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was hiding behind a nearby container.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Who were those two? Nuns and street-style girls had joined them in a hurry. They appeared to be a mixture of ethnicities and nationalities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At any rate, this told him what the UK’s policy was concerning him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kill him once we find him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They seemed to think he was an unprecedented villain. Even though, since Aneri hadn’t done anything, he had no idea how the cell’s door had opened.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It didn’t look like they would be willing to hear what he had to say.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If he put his hands in the air and surrendered, he was pretty sure they would just put a bullet between his eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(The material that acts as the root of all evil. Sitra Achra. Coronzon’s power, huh?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He repeated the ideas in his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And then smiled self-deprecatingly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(I’d appreciate it if I really was holding a special ticket like that…but this is the real world. A Level 0’s not gonna be given a convenient overpowered insta-win ability without even having to work for it. They’re reading too much into this.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a thorn in their side. He could risk his life and he could rescue a stranger, but the arbiters of justice didn’t care. They could causally kill the “runaway criminal” with impunity and some VIP might even give them a medal for it. With a word of thanks for saving them the trouble of spending the people’s taxes on keeping him in prison.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He felt two vibrations in his hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Coming from his cracked phone. AI Aneri was asking for new instructions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(If I surrender, they’ll just kill me. So what am I supposed to do?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He didn’t have a goal in mind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He had escaped the cell and was free to act once more, but what exactly could he do?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Go home?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Would he find a peaceful life there?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For that matter, was a peaceful life even what he really wanted?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He had to consider what it was he wanted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…Yes, that’s right. He only wanted one thing: to figure out what he could do with his remaining life for Coronzon now that she had died. If he had any freedom at all, he needed to fight and search for that answer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 5===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was eating curry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Were all the people walking by on their way to or from one of the cooperative institutions? Among all the businessmen moving to and fro, Leivinia Birdway was eating beef curry in the international airport lounge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kamijou Touma couldn’t keep up with her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Why curry rice? Two dangerous people traveled all the way to Japan and something’s clearly about to happen, and you’re eating curry rice!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s not my fault Japanese airports have great curry rice for some reason! And this is a Japanese specialty, just like sushi and tempura. You can’t find curry rice in India and you can search far and wide across Europe without finding this ‘European-style’ curry they only make in Japan!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lessar was really into it too. She had ordered the seafood curry. She was making a valiant defense of her plate whenever Birdway’s spoon approached to steal some.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Did their government plane not serve an in-flight meal?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Without Mark and the others with me, I need someone else at my beck and call. You can shirk that duty if you want, but if my fools decide you were rude to their cabal boss, you might just receive a ‘thank you visit’ from a group in black suits and sunglasses, so be careful.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How could he react to that except to tremble?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…But why was it Kamijou’s duty to serve Birdway anyway? Hadn’t Lessar been sent with her for that kind of thing???&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But then Lady Birdway’s face went blank.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And she spoke with her voice pitched horrifyingly low.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“if you don’t want to, that’s fine. I can always make do on my own. Hmm, I see how it is.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Eh? Wait, where did this terrifying atmosphere come from, Birdway-san? C-c’mon, stop puffing out your cheeks and pouting your lips and look at me. Now can you smile for me?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Don’t provoke her. If the boss of the infamous Dawn-Colored Sunlight decides to take this seriously and goes all out, this entire area will be reduced to rubble!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wait!? But all the mail lost across Academy City is supposed to end up here in District 23. If you include the packages containing a single bar of soap people ordered online, that’s tens of thousands a day! If I have to search each building, room, shelf, and box for the document proving I’m alive, I’ll never find it. If I can’t check their giant computer for it, it’ll be lost forever, so don’t destroy it! My life will be overrrrrrrrrr!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hmph.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The curry-eating girl wouldn’t look him in the eye, much less smile.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This meant she had more or less taken his future hostage! Thoughts raced through Kamijou’s mind. …Birdway and Lessar were essentially a pair of little bombs and he couldn’t afford to let them out of his sight. It would be best to stay with them until he had that document in his grasp.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lessar cackled like this had nothing to do with her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“By the way, Kamijou-san, where are your usual companions today? Y’know, the big-headed nun and the big-headed god.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Don’t let them year you say that…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“”What, you want us to start keeping secrets just between the two of us? Welcome to the start of a sordid and immoral new life!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kamijou had only come to District 23 because Komoe-sensei had suddenly given him the “held back” death sentence at school and he needed to get her to reconsider. He had come here directly after school without even stopping by his dorm where Index and Othinus were waiting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With a look of dawning realization, the joking light vanished from Lessar’s eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…Wait, you mean this is a real opportunity?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hey, those eyes are terrifying.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Getting her to look after Birdway was looking like a far distant dream.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Birdway herself poked curiously some red fukujinzuke with her spoon as she spoke.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So Hamazura Shiage, you say? Quite an interesting piece to appear on the board.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She said it like she was enjoying rolling a piece of hard candy around in her mouth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And with a thin smile.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had met Hamazura before, hadn’t she? In Kamijou’s dorm and elsewhere.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;The name was beginning to gain some real significance for Kamijou as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hamazura Shiage had witnessed the moment of Great Demon Coronzon’s death. In the shipyard containing a sliced drone carrier, he had shouted “wait”. And Kamijou hadn’t done so.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kamijou had killed Coronzon to protect the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But what was the world for Hamazura?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So he really was the criminal they were handing over. …What about him?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Well, he certainly is a threat. After all, he knows things about Coronzon no one else does. Maybe she was a cute, lonely, and pure girl. If he started spreading and disseminating information about Coronzon, she might start gaining supporters. No, in that case, it would be called proselytizing and evangelizing, wouldn’t it? Heh heh. For the Church of Coronzon, perhaps? You can see why the Anglicans are so on edge they built a special cell for him.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…Really?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was sharply diverging from his expectations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Church…of Coronzon?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Coronzon’s death had turned Hamazura into a threat. …Kamijou had assumed that was a scientific and physical issue like the possibility of him directly starting a firefight or setting off a bomb.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Birdway shrugged.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You didn’t think killing Coronzon herself would immediately clean up all the problems she was spreading around, did you? A human’s influence on the world doesn’t vanish the instant they die. And here we’re talking about a great demon straight out of myth. It wouldn’t surprise me if her death actually caused her presence to grow. …And in every era, there is a subset of the population who are fed up with their lives. If those people start gathering around the banner of Coronzon, it could lead to an apocalyptic ideology spreading around the world. You can imagine the Anglicans and Academy City aren’t fond of that idea.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Are you sure? From a business standpoint, a global crisis seems like a great chance to win yourself some believers. Ha ha ha. The apocalypse is the ultimate opportunity!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With her usual penchant for inappropriate comments, Lessar appeared to have $ signs in her eyes. But wait. Did they even use dollars in the UK?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hamazura Shiage took Coronzon’s side. That brought some very real disadvantages for him and got him treated as a criminal, but his psychological stance hasn’t changed. That makes him living proof that &#039;&#039;people can worship an absolute evil&#039;&#039;. If one person has done it, then there’s a chance more will as long as the conditions are right.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are no pure demons. “Demon” is a word people use when they want to deride the gods of people they dislike.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…According to Index, that had been Aleister’s theory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Coronzon was known as a great demon, but based on that theory, she may have the traits necessary to draw people to her outside of a certain mythology.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The seeds planted in Hamazura were bad news whether he sowed them around or let them sprout within him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a way, they were even more dangerous than Adikalika or Dakshina Kalika.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 6===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hamazura Shiage gulped.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The row of metal detectors and luggage scanners were just like he had seen on TV and in movies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Kh.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Not good. I must be at the immigration gate for international flights.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Security here would be tighter than anywhere else in the international airport. He would be in deadly trouble if he didn’t stop running around at random and actually memorize the airport’s layout. AI Aneri’s general stance was to help him with whatever he wanted to do, so it couldn’t sound the alarm at the stage of where he was going or what he was doing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Still, this was bad. He had to get somewhere else fast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He of course had no idea what exactly he would do after escaping. But for now he didn’t want to be caught and killed by those Brits.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What could he do for the late Coronzon?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The green light of an emergency exit caught his eye.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If only there was a door that let him escape his entire life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An exit that would let him and his girlfriend Takitsubo escape danger and live on some distant tropical island.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wait!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A loud voice called to him from behind. A familiar girl’s voice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Kh.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At times like this, someone he didn’t know might have been better.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hamazura stiffly turned around and spoke, his voice scratchy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Dion…Fortune?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That’s right, Hamazura.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The short girl accepted his gaze head on and nodded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Can you tell how dangerous a position you’ve put yourself in? No, sorry. You wouldn’t have done something so reckless if you could. Running away of all things was like offering up your head and asking to be killed. This country has the phrase about grasping at straws too, right? I know how you must feel, but you’re just running around without a clue where to go, aren’t you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He couldn’t answer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was right…but he wasn’t sure if he should let her know that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I can show you the way. I will act as your steady ship and solve all of this for you.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…But you’re with them. You’re one of those Englicans or whatever.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I am. And my point is I can protect you as the top of the Anglicans.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Protect me?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I am the leader of their organization. Their Archbishop. Maybe it’s just for show and only meant to be temporary, but I can use real authority for as long as I sit in that seat. That means I won’t let my many subordinates lay a finger on you. …If there’s anything you’re still uncertain of concerning Coronzon’s death, I can use all the Anglican Chruch’s resources to investigate it for you. Hamazura, do you have a better way of turning your &#039;&#039;vague dissatisfaction&#039;&#039; into a concrete goal?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Then come with me!! Leaving your cell and running around is like asking to be killed. And if you’re going to accomplish anything, you first need to make sure you’re safe. I can do that for you. You have me, Dion Fortune, as your trump card! Not the Anglicans or Academy City!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her reassuring words just about had him grab her outstretched hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Until he was interrupted by some ear-splitting beeping.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Coming from his cracked phone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
AI Aneri had triggered the maximum alarm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hamazura instinctually pulled his right hand back a little.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Fwoosh!!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Immediately, something sharp shot by between him and Fortune. It looked like an arrow made of light.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And when he glanced over, he saw them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was hard to tell at first because they looked like the street type, but he was being watched by a malicious-eyed group keeping their distance. And it looked like they were ready to snipe him with…an esper power? Magic? Well, some kind of paranormal power that didn’t rely on guns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A young woman with her black hair worn in a ponytail held her palm out toward him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was pretty sure she was with the Anglicans.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Was he just pure evil in their eyes? Dion Fortune must have been able to see his feelings rapidly drifting away from her because she shouted frantically to him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“N-no, Hamazura! I don’t know what happened! I didn’t order them to do that!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Sorry, Fortune…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dion Fortune wasn’t a bad person. He knew that much.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But he did not take her outstretched hand. Because he would be killed if he did.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The girl’s shocked expression was engraved into the back of his mind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But he still said it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“&#039;&#039;I’m through relying on justice’s claims of righteousness.&#039;&#039;”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 7===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hamazura Shiage had run away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dion Fortune watched him go.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With her untaken hand still held out in the empty air.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though he had once risked his life to save her when she had come apart into a deck of cards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His actions here…made him an enemy of the Anglican Church, the member of the three great Christian sects that specialized in battling human magicians. It was a foolish, amateurish, and suicidal choice. A clever professional magician would have hidden any hostility they might have had.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In other words, Hamazura was not behaving like a professional.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So was he really the person the Anglican Church and its collection of professionals from around the globe should be pursuing?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What were they doing to one of the ordinary people they were meant to save?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(And on that note…)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dion Fortune snapped at Kanzaki for acting without permission.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What the hell are you people doing!? Have you forgotten I’m the Archbishop at the very top of the Anglican Church? I won’t let any of you kill Hamazura! I’ll use every last bit of my authority to ensure it!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That’s the problem, though, isn’t it?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gloomy voice that interrupted belonged to Necromancer Isabella Theism.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dion Fortune hadn’t been asking for opinions. Interrupting the Archbishop was itself disrespectful, but she didn’t seem to care.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You’re going too far in supporting him. Whose going to follow the orders of a leader who can’t keep an objective and impartial view thanks to her personal feelings? Especially among us Anglicans who protect the world from wicked magicians.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wha-?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“For that matter, aren’t you an original grimoire taking the form of tarot cards? You’re a Golden magician &#039;&#039;manufactured by Great Demon Coronzon herself&#039;&#039;. It wouldn’t surprise me if you had been &#039;&#039;manipulated&#039;&#039; to subconsciously support Hamazura Shiage…or rather, Coronzon’s remains.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So she was bringing that up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dion Fortune’s thoughts were her own, but insisting so would be meaningless against someone who opposed her. Isabella knew that, so she sneered thinly. While watching her boss’s downfall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It appeared Isabella wasn’t the only one to hold this opinion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite the many people gathered here, not one of them moved to defend Fortune. In the end, was she nothing more than an outsider to them?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stiyl Magnus glanced over at the “no smoking” sign on the wall and lit a new cigarette as he spoke.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Influential members of the Royal Family and the Knights have been expressing concerns too. That means you no longer have the backing of the adults. …It’s time, Dion Fortune. You were put in place as a temporary figurehead to prevent chaos in the absence of an Archbishop after Lola Stuart’s downfall. I’ve heard you suggested the idea yourself and convinced Her Majesty the Queen. So you should make yourself scarce before you start causing chaos yourself.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had no interest in political power. She had known from the start she would eventually lose it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But Hamazura Shiage was a different matter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was not a magician, so he shouldn’t be killed by the rules of the magic world. She couldn’t let these people give up on him for their own convenience like this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She couldn’t as the Archbishop, even if she was an interim figurehead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She couldn’t as one of the original Golden magicians who had laid the foundation of the magic system that existed to this day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…And more than anything, she couldn’t as his friend.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So she scoffed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“&#039;&#039;As if you could stop me, fool.&#039;&#039;”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“&#039;&#039;Then die.&#039;&#039;”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stiyl didn’t hesitate to respond.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The place burst into motion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sister Lucia held a giant wooden wheel in front of her and it burst on its own. The sharp splinters formed a scattershot wall that rushed toward Dion Fortune. And bags of gold coins – which were heavier than hammers – used glowing wings to weave between the gaps of the splinters to fly toward Fortune’s head and solar plexus. Those were Angelene’s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But she was unharmed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dion Fortune only had to hold out her right hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It held a black box.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Translate, simplify, and create anew.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was swallowed up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Both the wall of scattershot splinters and the flying coin bags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Archetype Processor. …I can’t believe you would try to take me on with ordinary magic without any kind of twist to it. Don’t underestimate an original member of the Golden cabal, little girls!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Crash!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the lid reopened on its own, filthy mud rushed out as if from a hose. And this mud contained a mountain of metal shards the size of guitar picks that would strip the flesh from the bone of anyone it touched. If Kanzaki hadn’t laid out countless wires to set up a barrier, that is exactly what would have happened.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Honestly, why couldn’t you direct that tear-jerking spirit of charity toward the amateur lamb who was manipulated by a great demon without any knowledge of the magic world?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If they couldn’t manage that, Dion Fortune would have to beat them down and confiscate their right to wield justice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using her duty and authority as Archbishop of the Anglican Church.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She bared her teeth and roared.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Unlike a certain right hand I could mention, this spiritual item doesn’t just safely and comfortably negate your magic. It randomly transforms it and not even I can predict what form it will take. Peek inside the open box at your peril. There you will find the very sin and karma you directed at others!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since it was completely random, there was only one reason why Fortune wasn’t caught in the explosion and killed too: pure luck. And that sort of incalculable factor was the most frightening thing in combat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dark-skinned Necromancer Isabella Theism whispered under her breath while paying no heed to the harm that had come to her allies. She looked perfectly relaxed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her words formed an obvious curse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Thou art the dark king who rules all below the horizon. Thou art the ruler of the house that welcomes the sun god. Thou art the mighty manager of the night and thus the ruler of half the day – and therefore half the world. Thou art the god who may always be resurrected if the proper ritual is performed even if thy body is destroyed, torn to pieces, and scattered across the land. Thou art the great king of death, equality, justice, and of thy own sacrifice. I am prepared to welcome thee here.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cold sweat poured down Dion Fortune’s brow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This…this one was &#039;&#039;truly&#039;&#039; bad.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was one of the mythological symbols that even the Magician Crowley had valued highly. The Aeon of Isis, the Aeon of Osiris, and the Aeon of Horus… Even a middle or high school student who had perused the R&amp;amp;C Occultics homepage a bit would be familiar with those terms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
More than that, Dion Fortune herself had once met a woman calling herself Magic God Nephthys in London. It wasn’t that she had been no match for her. The difference had been so overwhelming she couldn’t even work up the will to try and fight. And this god was ranked higher even than Nephthys in the ancient myths.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dion Fortune shouted, wide-eyed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She named the nemesis who stood in her way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“&#039;&#039;Underworld God Osiris&#039;&#039;!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 8===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The two small girls, Lessar and Birdway, walked to the souvenir shops in the duty-free area near the lounge. Their eyes landed on a certain product shelf with great interest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wow, they’ve got so many different kinds of condoms.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Well, Japan is known as the king of rubbers. I’ve heard their silicone technology is impressive. Seems like a frivolous use of technology to me. Could this be why their birthrate is so low?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They travel all the way to Japan and this is what they choose to focus on? Kamijou couldn’t follow their reasoning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lessar trembled a little.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But why would anyone need one in an airport? …Gasp!! D-do they all use them on the plane? Now there’s an exciting idea!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Okay, this conversation ends now.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Birdway toyed with a pair of binoculars, although it was unclear what use they would be in an airport.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But her attention shifted elsewhere.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hm, something is happening here.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“See, I told you this would happen.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kamijou frowned.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Told her what would happen?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The plan was for Hamazura Shiage to be handed over, right? These two had taken a British government plane to Academy City, but they hadn’t joined the Anglicans. Was this related to why they were acting on their own?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hey… This isn’t funny. All the lost mail in Academy City ends up here. If a bunch of big macho magicians go nuts here in District 23, I won’t be able to search for my document!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If that’s the worst of your worries, you can count yourself lucky.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He didn’t like the sound of that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Did that mean they were about to enter a phase where he had even bigger things to worry about!?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Birdway snatched a five-color permanent marker set from a shelf and addressed him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Listen, Kamijou Touma. Today is going to be a busy day. A lot of things you didn’t expect are going to happen. But no matter what might happen, remember this one thing.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She provided a much too ominous prophecy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“&#039;&#039;Our quarry is a magician.&#039;&#039; Capturing Hamazura Shiage is unfortunately not enough to settle this.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;End of preview. Index GT 15 will be released on May 9.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;==Prologue: Starting Point – Girl_and_Girl!==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was January 9, just past 4 PM.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In District 23 after school. Specifically, in the international airport lobby. The place felt unusually spacious, not because the long break had ended and the crowds had vanished, but because the place had only just reopened after the recent trouble.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There now was the pointy haired high school boy named Kamijou Touma, feeling at his wits’ end.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He had run across someone whose presence could only mean trouble.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And not just one. There were two of them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Why are you two in Japan?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The black-haired girl in a lacrosse-like miniskirt outfit was Lessar of N∴L∴, aka New Light.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The blonde girl armed with a blouse and skirt colored like a classy piano was Leivinia Birdway of the Dawn-Colored Sunlight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They were both magicians belonging to famous(?) magic cabals in the United Kingdom. More than that, Birdway looked no older than 12, but she sat in the boss’s seat of the UK’s largest magic cabal. …And whether his experiences with them had been unlucky or they were just like that, Kamijou sensed a great threat to any possibility of a peaceful life in his immediate future. It was like they came from the world of a foreign gangster movie.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When faced with these people from a world he wanted no part of, what could a peaceful boy do but shout?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What is Japanese customs doing!? You can’t let people like this in the country! For world peace reasons!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hey, don’t talk about us like we’re luggage. The word you’re looking for is immigration.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“People like this, huh? (lol) And, well, he’s right that it’s a foreign affairs matter. But in either case, you’re talking about government officials from outside the city, so they can’t do much about anything happening in the city walls. Oh, my. Does this mean we’re free to exploit some loopholes even more dangerous than those in a young wife’s sexy lingerie?☆”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lessar cackled.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…The border patrol at the city wall was supposed to be working hard each day to keep dangerous people like this out, but what was with this weird mixture of the two? If they landed in the airport already inside Academy City’s walls, did they get to skip that check altogether? What was even going on in this city?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Also, do you see the UK’s Union Jack over there?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Leivinia Birdway jerked her thumb over toward the tempered glass forming one of the walls. Several airplanes of various sizes were visible on the vast tarmac and one of them did indeed have a national flag drawn on its tail fin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The small airplane looked like a personal plane or charter jet. Yes, the kind you occasionally saw in movies and was referred to as a business jet. …Kamijou wouldn’t have thought he had the time during the New Year’s holiday what with him dying and coming back to life, so he was surprised to realize he had actually watched a movie on TV.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s called a government plane. We’re lending a hand in picking up a criminal being extradited to the UK. …Damn those Anglicans, they only sent the invitation to me as an individual, so all my other people had to stay behind in London.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Come to think of it, he hadn’t seen any of those people in tuxedos (tailcoats?) who looked like they were dressed for a party (but didn’t look like the party-going type).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Birdway pointed to Lessar, looking less than amused.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So she’s here as my bodyguard. If I’m so much as scratched, Mark and the others will surround her and ‘thank’ her once we get back, so feel free to boss that weakling around all you like.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yeah, well, my stance is to do whatever I can for the UK, whether its good or bad, but I have my doubts that babysitting this unruly child will help our country all that much.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apparently that was the deal with them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It did make sense.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…But at the same time Kamijou seriously doubted that was all there was to it. His wild experiences in the past told him otherwise.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You really aren’t plotting anything? You didn’t bring anything dangerous into Academy City because the inspections are lax for personal planes, did you? No, I can see it already! You brought some British magician with a weird mummy or golden mask and Academy City is going to be on the brink of destruction yet again!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Fine. I turned my back on the sunlit world to dedicate myself to studying magic, so if you want to target me with an unfair witch hunt, so be it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lessar carefully presses her palms against a nearby glass wall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The short black-haired girl had a huge grin on her face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She stuck her little butt out toward Kamijou with no concern at all for her short skirt and raised her voice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With her fake devil tail swishing side to side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’m willing to prove my innocence. Bring on the lewd body search!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“To be clear, I’m just going to ignore this kind of nonsense this time around, okay?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The world seemed to darken before Kamijou’s eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why was this happening?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To answer that complex and bizarre mystery, we must first find the initial cause!&lt;br /&gt;

==Story Synopsis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the distant future, Earth has been devastated and its inhabitants seek a new home in the heavens. However, constant warfare forces humans to return to Earth, which has turned into an uninhabitable planet except for a certain area called the Divine States.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Divine States are too small to accommodate all the humans, so they duplicated the area and created the Harmonic Divine States. In order to retrace their steps and rediscover their journey to the heavens, the returned humans began to reproduce history from the year 10,000 BC, using a mysterious history book called Testament.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
History reproduction proceeds smoothly until A.D. 1413, when a war broke out in the Divine States. This causes the Harmonic Divine States to crash onto the original world. The humans living in the Harmonic Divine States lose their land and invade the original world. The people of the Divine States surrender and they are divided by the invaders from the Harmonic Divine States. They try to resume the reproduction of history from A.D.1457, but the update of history terminates in A.D.1648. A rumor of apocalypse begins to spread around the world.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Chapter 32: Pair at the Pledge Ground==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Horizon10B_p0283.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Power and speed&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Willpower and stubbornness&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Position and relationship&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Point Allocation (Victory and Defeat)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During her duel with her mother, Kasuya saw a supposedly impossible second blast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;What is happening!?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She understood Kiyomasa’s life must have entered a bonus mode and hit the jackpot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;With a successful confession and with Excalibur taking a liking to her, all the pieces were in place.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caledfwlch had reacted to Kiyomasa. Or was it lending her its power? Kasuya wasn’t sure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Either way, the emitted light had burst. And…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“With even more power than before!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A shout was raised before the incoming light.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By Tenzou. He got up and took a single breath to shake off the effects of the previous hit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Mary-dono!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mary intended to fire Ex. Collbrande again to intercept. But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;That’s wrong!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kiyomasa was aiming elsewhere. She had been aiming at him before, but not this time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“She’s targeting the Musashino’s bridge!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A moment later, the lights intersected.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Ex. Collbrande and Caledfwlch blades clashed at a height and trajectory that brought them together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The light split and the sound boomed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The great sword of light was answered by the slash of another sword of light that shattered it in its entirety.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ex. Collbrande’s blade was destroyed by Caledfwlch’s blade, which could be seen as the improved version.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a clash between a jab and a slash.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Collbrande’s blade had been on course to bisect its opponent, but it failed to reach.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The blade of light grew to several hundred meters before shattering.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The explosive blast sounded like a roar and Caledfwlch’s blade continued its diagonal strike toward the Musashino’s bridge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Open defense barriers! Over!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They had been ready for this since Kiyomasa arrived on the ship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Musashino, Okutama, Tama, and Murayama worked together to open the quadruple digit number of defense barriers estimated to be necessary to defend against Excalibur.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ex. Caledfwlch’s blade pierced through them all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The defense barriers exploded into ether light a beat later and their pressure did weaken the racing blade, but…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I got through!” shouted Kiyomasa as Musashino shook.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The diagonal strike stabbed into the upper aft end of the portside support for Musashino’s bridge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An alarm began blaring as soon as the defense barriers were shattered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Musashi” transmitted all the incoming reports to shared memory, opened processing sign frames, threw them in folders, and turned to look at Sakai.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I apologize for the trouble. Over.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hey, you’re not used to this sort of thing, ‘Musashi’-san. Over.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My closest experiences would be Lord Shibata’s boarding and the Reine des Garou’s ‘take this, and this’, but I understand those to be special cases. Over.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, light was bursting below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ex. Caledfwlch’s blast had weakened enough it broke apart on its own.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A moment later, more reports and processing sign frames opened, so she threw them into folders again. The relevant automata were already shutting down the severed conduits and rerouting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I have determined it is good this happened on Musashino. As a central ship, the surrounding ships can provide support. We should recover in only two or three minutes. Over.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Asakusa:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Musashino…was this…a good thing? Over.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Musashino:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Well, uh, from an overall damage control perspective, I can determine it is acceptable… Over.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Okutama:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Wait, doesn’t that mean it could have been me too!? From a damage control perspective! So you can send some of that work my way! Over.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tama:&#039;&#039;&#039; “No, we wouldn’t want to place that much of a burden on you. Over.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Okutama:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Wait!? Are you saying Okutama can’t stand in for the Musashi’s central core!? Over.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Almost Everyone:&#039;&#039;&#039; “…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Okutama:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Wh-what is that silence supposed to mean!? I can handle it! I swear! Over.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a world full of endless light, a few movements could be seen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The dazzling explosion of the two holy swords floated down from the sky while Kiyomasa pulled back Ex. Caledfwlch and ran.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mary took another breath, faced forward, and readied Ex. Collbrande once more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The figure running behind her was Tenzou.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He rushed out ahead of Mary and threw a kunai toward Kiyomasa’s approaching feet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kiyomasa immediately jumped.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She poured Caledfwlch’s excess power into its thruster to leap over the kunai and Tenzou too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She flew toward Mary as if to tackle her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Excuse me, mother!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She slammed Ex. Caledfwlch toward…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That sword can no longer protect anything!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mary swung Ex. Collbrande in to block.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They both made direct attacks, but their powers differed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The two blades clashed, sparks flew, and that crimson color contrasted the azure of the ether light falling from the sky.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then one blade burst. With a weak sound, it shattered in Mary’s hands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was destroyed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The blade split as if succumbing to the pressure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“––––––”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ex. Collbrande’s blade collapsed like glass thrown against the wall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Mary-dono!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tenzou turned around and ran to Mary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He ran toward Mary while she stared in shock at Excalibur’s broken blade in her hands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He ran toward Mary while she held the hilt in her left hand and tried to gather up the blade’s shards as they spilled through the air.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Excuse me!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He wrapped his arm around her and snatched her away with no thought to her posture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then he spun around, rested Mary on his waist, and rotated her around to bring her back to her usual position.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Mary-dono!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He grabbed her as if catching her to hold her in the usual way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mary didn’t seem to know what had happened. She briefly reached into the sky as if still trying to gather the shattered blade from the air, but…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Eh? U-um, Master Tenzou?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She looked ill as she stared up at him. Her tension was plain to see.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;It is unusual to see her looking this badly shaken.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He didn’t think he had seen her like this since he first saw her true form and when they had faced her family in front of the Tower of London. But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Master Tenzou, um…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Mary-dono,” he said. “What you are thinking now is a mistake.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mary looked up into his face and opened her mouth. But then she nodded deeply.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yes.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She looked relieved but she also smiled with her eyebrows lowered. Seeing that made him want to confess his love all over again, but he resisted the urge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He had her hold Excalibur’s hilt close and this was not the time for collecting the pieces. They had to focus on something else right now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ex. Caledfwlch’s half blade stabbed in from behind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Courtesy of Kiyomasa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What do you mean it is a mistake!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tenzou protected Mary and slid to the left to avoid the blade, but the half-sickle pursued him. The mobile shell’s power assistance allowed Kiyomasa to swing the blade outwards even as she jabbed it forward.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A human might be able to pull that off, but not with consistency and accuracy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After seeing his action, she had change the direction of her attack in progress. He had been able to predict it because he had gotten a look at the full field of view beforehand, but…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;How much training does it take to do that!?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like this, battling in such a wide open space with so much light illuminating everything was a bad idea.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This battlefield gave their opponent an advantage, and…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kiyomasa’s eyebrows were raised as she launched another attack. He held Mary to his chest and did his best not to let her see Kiyomasa, but the things Kiyomasa was saying still bothered her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She wanted to say something, but she remained silent and focused on the space behind her while finally looking up at Tenzou.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;That must mean she chose to believe what I told her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They were in an unprecedented situation here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;A child from the future? Ex. Collbrande broken? And swords drawn among family?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He felt like he was entirely responsible for that last one, but if anything happened, they had decided they would face it together, talk it out, and overcome it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He wouldn’t prevent Mary from making a hasty statement here, but they didn’t need to make up their minds based on that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That would be a mistake.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They couldn’t rush this. He believed they should wait until they weren’t in the heat of the moment and could gather their thoughts on the matter. Mary had agreed with him, but…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You were always ruling over mother!! She always had your hat sitting by her side!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Me:&#039;&#039;&#039; “So his true form survived.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Art-Ga:&#039;&#039;&#039; “So there wasn’t a problem after all.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Laborer:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Tenzou can do some crazy things!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;10ZO:&#039;&#039;&#039; “My hat is only a hat.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But he had a thought. Even if Mary had adored him to that extent, that was no reason to neglect Kiyomasa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;She must have turned her thoughts to me to try and distract herself from the pain of saying goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He knew it had been a misunderstanding, but he also know Kiyomasa wouldn’t listen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was true he had been with Mary. So…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If you had only released mother…!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would have happened then? Kiyomasa screamed the answer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“She would have smiled and talked with me!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Oh, this isn’t good.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tenzou had honestly thought something he couldn’t afford to think here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He had felt that Kiyomasa was right.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It didn’t come from guilt. Because he wasn’t the one who had wronged her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But he did imagine what it would be like if it were him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And so he felt that way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;I’m sorry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It felt right.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That acceptance briefly erased his will to resist Kiyomasa, delaying his evasion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He heard the loud step of a mobile shell behind him and felt the wind rush in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was Kiyomasa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the time he realized his mistake, it was too late.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thinking the greatest risk was at neck height, he slid his head the left. Then a blade jabbed past his right cheek from behind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;A half-sickle!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just as he swung his head down, the half-sickle blade shot past overhead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But another part of him was slower.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His feet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kiyomasa had launched two simultaneous attacks as she approached from behind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Kh!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lifting his left foot and skidding his right foot to the left was the most he could manage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The downwards strike of the spear tip grazed the outer ankle of the right foot he couldn’t manage to get up off the deck.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It wasn’t a direct hit. He was wearing shin armor. But the blade split the metal greaves and briefly stroked his ankle bone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Master Tenzou!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hm? Is something wrong?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Wow, I’m going way too far pretending like that was nothing!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He had done so on reflex because Mary was here. If the nudist or one of the others were here instead, he would have dashed away. &#039;&#039;I know how to match my behavior to the situation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But this had done damage. He was starting to bleed, blood in his shoe would make his footing less sure, and, worse, it would hinder his focus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;This is dangerous!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And just as he thought that…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The foot he had moved to evade began to float unnaturally.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He thought he had stepped on some sand, but no. This was…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;The deck was stripped away when the two Excaliburs clashed earlier!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It had happened over a wide area, so he shouldn’t have had to worry about it when it came to his own footing. But if the damage was even worse here and his foot slipped…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That is directly below the location of our second clash!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He had lost track of that because the light had covered the deck and he had been so focused on the enemy behind him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thinking back, Kiyomasa’s rapid approach had been accomplished using Ex. Caledfwlch’s thruster.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had realized how badly damaged the area was, but she had used the thruster to keep him from noticing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Was she luring me here!?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then the next attack came.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Kh.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His carelessly placed right foot was injured and unreliable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He considered how to dodge using just his left foot, but then a power arrived from the side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Excuse meeeeee!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just as he realized he didn’t recognize the voice, he took a kick straight to the face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kiyomasa watched as the enemy she was about to attack took a kick to the face from the side, flipped twice through the air with her mother in his arms, and managed to actually land on his feet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;My.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Was that pure martial arts? It was well done,&#039;&#039; she thought before returning to her senses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;He is my enemy!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But she recognized the voice that had kicked that enemy away. The voice continued to speak to her enemy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Whoa! Are you alright!? I thought I could provide some assistance and picked up some speed, but then I couldn’t stop myself! I tried to apply the brakes, but the footing is so bad here I slipped and kicked you in the face!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But her enemy didn’t react.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Puzzled, she watched as her mother touched his cheek from within his arms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Um, Master Tenzou?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, yesss!? Um? What? Do you need something?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ahhhhh! Did I knock you out!? I’m so sorry!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No, wait, who even are you!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The sudden intruder bowed toward Kiyomasa’s enemy and mother. It was an impressive action that brought her head down to hip height.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And she named herself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’m Uni!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kiyo-Massive:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Eh?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;AnG:&#039;&#039;&#039; “What’s happening now?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kiyo-Massive:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Um, well, someone I know is using a name I don’t know.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tsurugi:&#039;&#039;&#039; “What’s the matter, Kiyomasa. That’s Kani there.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kiyomasa thought for a moment and then tried asking.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Um, Kani-sama?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was instantly denied.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’m Uni!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kiyo-Massive&#039;&#039;&#039; “…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Black Wolf:&#039;&#039;&#039; “K-Kiyomasa!? You mustn’t let anything that happens on the Musashi surprise you! Our mothers always told us it was that sort of place, remember!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kiyo-Massive:&#039;&#039;&#039; “But, um, does it have to happen right in front of me?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;The Boy:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Act rather than think! That’s the best strategy!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tenzou shuffled his feet to move around 5 meters away on the poor footing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;W-we should be safe from here!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He felt bad for Mary who looked baffled by it all, but he did not put her down. And…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You,” said Kiyomasa with her back to him. “Take my mother away from here so she does not come to harm.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Your request…will be granted.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Testament,” she replied.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So he turned his head to face…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Um, Uni-dono.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Testament! No, I mean judge! I’m here as Uni from Akechi!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;She’s the athletic type for sure,&#039;&#039; he thought and then recalled that the Azuchi had sent them someone to assist them as part of the Akechi forces when they were leaving Mikawa Bay. But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Wait, I thought she was called Kani?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Futayo had gone to check on her when she arrived. Futayo was probably busy at the moment, but he tried asking.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;10ZO:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Futayo-dono, do you have a moment?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tonbokiri:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Judge! I do indeed! …Time out!! Noooo cuuutting!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was at it again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I don’t know who she’s fighting, but I am so very sorry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And after a few seconds…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tonbokiri:&#039;&#039;&#039; “What do you want, ninja? If you want to stand out more, there is nothing I can do to help you there.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;10ZO:&#039;&#039;&#039; “That joke would have worked better back at Mikawa, so has your opinion of me not changed at all since then? But anyway, I had a question. Remember how the Azuchi sent someone over to help us?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Right,” replied Futayo. She must have known what he meant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a pause, she continued.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tonbokiri:&#039;&#039;&#039; “You mean Ebi-dono! How is she doing!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tenzou decided this was a problem he could put off until later.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;She may be a species that changes names from time to time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He didn’t understand all cultures or customs, so it was best to leave these things be. So…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Uni-dono, take care of things here!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Judge, I’ll do my best!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Oh, she’s serious.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He would sometimes take a command role as 1st Special Duty Officer, so he could tell how serious someone was from a single response.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This girl would make a fearsome opponent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He could tell she didn’t question dedicating her full strength to a battle, just like the combat Special Duty Officers, Futayo, and Narumi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If she had still been on the other side, she would have been one of the ones boarding them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He felt mildly threatened by that thought, but the opposite was happening instead. And…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;That would be why Kiyomasa-dono abandoned her pursuit of us.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;In that case,&#039;&#039; he thought with a nod and picked Mary up again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Excuse me!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He began a hurried run.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Master Tenzou! Where are we going!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He already had a destination in mind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Okutama’s bow deck. Where Toori-dono and the others are.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kani took a light step to confirm her footing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her surroundings were filled with light, spacious, and provided nowhere to hide. And her opponent was Kiyomasa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Getting to duel you is like a dream come true, Kiyomasa-senpai!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s a more complicated feeling for me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Why!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Because we’re clearly wearing down our own forces here.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No, we aren’t!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She knew that was wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You’re with Hashiba and I’m with Akechi!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But we’re both originally from Hashiba, right?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That’s not the point!” she insisted. “You’re still with Hashiba, but I’m with Akechi now!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Not the point, huh?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kiyomasa could win this. But the most beneficial way to get through this was…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;For me to admit defeat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She knew that was the best option.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then neither she nor Uni would be harmed and they could move on to another battle or return to the Azuchi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But that was wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Honestly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uni was saying she was being too thoughtful and too conceited.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You were given that role with Akechi, so your pride demands you follow through, doesn’t it?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To view her as Hashiba and try to help her out would be an insult.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But Uni responded with a smile.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What was wrong now?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hashiba and Akechi need to fight with everything they have!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That must be how it was in the Age of the Gods! We have to respect that!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uni saw Kiyomasa ready Ex. Caledfwlch in both hands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Wow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most people couldn’t manage such an intimidating aura without speaking a word. Her hair swayed silently in the lingering light falling all around her as she finally spoke.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Testament, you have a point. …And the origin of my name fought in the Battle of Yamazaki.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I know! Hashiba-sama already expected great things of him and he had already done some great things like entering the enemy castle first during the attack on Mouri!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Did you know Fukushima-sama was here too?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Judge! So are Ootani-san and Hachisuka-san!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Then why are you here?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Judge,” replied Uni. “I wasn’t sure where to go, but then I saw a big light burst in the sky! I knew whoever had done that was giving it everything they had! And when I showed up, I found you here!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kiyomasa gasped. But this wasn’t an accusation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;I see.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Everything she had.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now that Uni mentioned it, she realized it was true. But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Uni-sama.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Judge! What is it!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I was just fighting a terribly dirty battle.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You were!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Testament. I was throwing long years of self-righteousness at my opponent, trying to cleanse myself of those things, shouting things I am not proud of, and lashing out.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You were!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Are you sure you want to duel someone like that?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uni didn’t hesitate to answer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I am! Because…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uni raised her hands overhead and stretched up as if trying to touch the light scattering in the sky.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Because this was your all, wasn’t it!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yes, it was.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Then I can leave everything else to someone else!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kiyomasa was at a loss for words.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Did Uni have a clearer mind on this, did she think about it differently, or what? But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“–––––”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kiyomasa realized how much easier it would be if she had an actual division between her reasons for fighting and her personal issues.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Uni-sama.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She knew she had been playing dirty before. But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Will you duel me?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Judge! That’s why I’m here! Give it your all like you did just now!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Eh?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She wasn’t sure how she had worked herself up to the point of doing that, but should she try to reproduce the performance?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uni sent her an expectant look.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I can’t do that! Everyone I’ve fought has been like that! They all had amazing power! I was no match for them no matter how hard I tried and I knew I’d lose even if I did reach their level!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I love figuring out just how far my strength can take me and just how great that strength is!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You love it?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Testament!” she replied. And, “It would be a lie if I didn’t go all out! So…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I don’t think your full power just now was a lie!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kiyomasa sighed inwardly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;That’s probably true.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She felt a lot better now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had a variety of feelings regarding her parents and she doubted she could resolve them in a single night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But the power those feelings had produced wasn’t a lie.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So now the question was how to interpret those feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Whether she viewed that power as a bad thing or not was up to her. So…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;I will accept it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was her decision.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All this time, she had been carrying around feelings powerful enough to draw out all that power.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maybe she had played dirty, but it hadn’t been a lie. Knowing that changed how she viewed it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So now…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Uni-sama.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Judge, what is it!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Shall we begin the Battle of Yamazaki?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Judge! I would love to!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With that, Kani swung both hands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And along the course taken by her swiftly racing palms…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Large spears!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eight Sasamura cowling spears appeared. They were already accelerating.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’ll do my best!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kani charged toward her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Chapter 5: Hasshaku-sama @ Waterfront TV==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 1===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the phone propped up in the hermit crab acrylic charger stand, it was 10 at night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inside the detective agency’s nap room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The online shrine maiden was seated on the bed in her underwear with her arms around her raised knees.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her long black hair spilled down past her cheeks to her shoulders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The girl was staring at the memos attached to the back of the electric curtain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hibashi-sama”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Spotted on New Sea City” “Confirmed!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Defeat the source to revive religious corporation status” “And receive industry acceptance” “First step toward shrine’s restoration!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was no longer a matter of “surely”, “probably”, or “most likely”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was clearly making progress.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After all, she had actually encountered &#039;&#039;her&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hibashi-sama.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The only known Quintuple Dread Star. That ultimate Malign Spirit was rumored to be behind every fire-involved disaster, from the Honnouji Incident to the Great Kantou Earthquake. &#039;&#039;Looking just at the officially confirmed numbers,&#039;&#039; she had taken over ten thousand lives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was the cause of the fire that burned down Kagebarai Tanebi Shrine, where Yahirodono Tsumugi had worked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now that she had been found, all that remained was to defeat that woman in burial clothes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was why Tsumugi had come to New Sea City in the first place.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“&#039;&#039;How&#039;&#039;?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the office on the other side of the wall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The space smelled of cheap coffee. Maybe it still needed to be broken in or maybe this was just what you got with a cheap one, but the air conditioner bought at the bargain price of 19,800 yen wasn’t very effective.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hisame Kouga faced his laptop on the table.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was using a free talk app to speak with a current police detective who worked for the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department over 500 kilometers away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ganou Gouwan. The man was Kouga’s former colleague.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’ve uploaded the progress report to the usual server. You decrypt it yourself. It will automatically delete after you download it once, so be careful.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Thanks again.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Stop. Do you have any idea how many times you saved my ass? Whenever the bullets started flying, you would take the lead while I stayed in the back providing covering fire.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I was just showing off. What you mean is I was always making a mess of things and causing you trouble, right?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Maybe so, but without you we never would have solved that kidnapping case or that robbery case. You’ll save anyone as long as they’re still alive, right? The chief was always yelling at us both, saying your excessive support of the victims would only get us killed, but there were hostages who wouldn’t have survived if you hadn’t been so bold. …Besides, you even played matchmaker and introduced me to the prettiest woman in the world. I’m thankful. If my wife hears I didn’t repay my debt to you, she’d never speak to me again!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a useful partner in a number of ways because he drew a very simple line dividing enemy from ally.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the private detective downloaded the file on autopilot, he used his spare mental resources on something else.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He found himself thinking.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hibashi-sama was ultimately a ritual that followed a set process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That meant the Malign Spirit would not act on her own.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the Vanishing Canal case, the entire yakuza group had been burned to death because their estate’s nameplate had been removed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And since the Quintuple Dread Star had made an appearance…some human villain must have carried out the ritual.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So…it eventually comes down to revenge, huh?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s understandable.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…Will this really act as a shortcut to restoring the burned-down shrine, though?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Don’t ask me. But if the shrine was destroyed by the Malign Spirit, it’s reputation can never be restored unless the survivor slays the Malign Spirit herself. That’s what the girl’s job is, right? So if she wants to truly regain people’s trust and restore the shrine, she’s just gotta do it. Even if she’s up against Hibashi-sama.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The detective sighed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He had once dreamed of a future where she would calm down after restoring the shrine…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He looked up at the ceiling from his chair.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This isn’t going the way I’d hoped.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“She’s not a pet robot. Being unpredictable is a lot more human and cute, don’t you think?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ganou Gouwan was a muscular gorilla of a man, but he was powerless with his wife who was two heads shorter than him. Fortunately he seemed as madly in love with her as ever and it sounded like he was still enjoying his married life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Also, you need her since you have no spiritual sensitivity at all. You haven’t just been introducing her to the Malign Spirit cases you think she’ll like. You told her what she needed to restore the shrine’s religious corporation status and you taught her everything she needed to know to blend into ordinary society after spending too much time living at the shrine. That was all payment up front so she would help you with that one case eventually, right?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Even so. If she could peacefully restore the shrine, I had planned to just watch on and not interfere. There are other ways of making up for my lack of a spiritual sensitivity.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Liar. It’s not that easy. There might be one or two in a classroom who can vaguely ‘see’, ‘feel’, or ‘know’ things, but that’s nowhere near the level needed for a shrine maiden who physically battles them and exorcises them. The oil lighter you got in that case isn’t all powerful. The other girls who’ve been helping out are only still alive because she’s been looking after them, right? Including using herself as a shield. Her talent is on another level.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The detective worked his laptop to extract the downloaded compressed file.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The National Diet Building, the Prime Minister’s Residence, the Cabinet Office… When a cabinet meeting was too high risk to be held in even those important buildings, a government facility with far greater security than any of those publicly-recognized buildings had been created in secret. The Cabinet Dark Room. The flames and death that had erupted within there had caused too much chaos for anyone to stop and had ultimately brought all ordinary Diet activities to a complete halt for more than 40 days.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The title of the file displayed on the screen read as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Progress Report Concerning National Top Priority Case #015: The Nagatacho Leaders Case&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 2===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yahirodono Tsumugi tilted her head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was lunchtime and she had her lunch of a sweet bread and milk laid out on her desk while using her trifold phone to test and debug the online shrine’s latest feature – yes, she was finally implementing a digital Hundred Times Prayer! While she did this, the gyaru sister spoke to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The TV station?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Right. Waterfront TV. My sister goes there a lot and they’ve asked for some help.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…Come to think of it, hadn’t the gyaru sister brought up the TV station a fair amount in conversation? Tsumugi had never asked further about it, though.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I-is Yuhi-san actually an entertainer? Like a child actor or an idol?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That straitlaced sister? As if! She’s only interested in the backstage stuff, like props and lighting.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rainy laughed bitterly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yuhi’s a bookworm who works in her school library. Her friends in the pop music and drama clubs will ask her to write for them, so she often meets with someone at the TV station. Oh, you know how there’s a TV camera at school cultural festivals around here, right?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hm? I’m not sure I follow.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Just listen. It’ll make sense. If the eager band or drama group actually met with the TV station, they’d refuse to compromise on anything and the talks would get nowhere. So the TV station prefers someone who’s involved in it, but is still a bit of an outsider to the group. That makes a good go-between. In other words, it’s to make the grownups happy.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Huh, so that’s how it works.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Anyway, TV stations are full of high-tech equipment, but for some reason there’s no end to ghost stories there.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But these weren’t horror-based rumors like a ghost appearing appearing in the studio at the same time every night, or people dying shortly after using a green room with an unlucky number like 4 or 9. Instead…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yes… A single camera can cost tens of millions in that industry, so they must have equipment worth more than a hundred million. It would be a big deal if a Malign Spirit appeared and smashed up all their delicate equipment. And it would be even worse if it happened during a live broadcast.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And if something did happen, no one would believe them if they wrote in their report that the live broadcast went down because of a haunting. So if a Malign Spirit caused trouble, it would be staff members who were blamed and punished for it. The grownups would want to be cautious.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ugh. Well anyway, some producer or director or something Yuhi knows wanted some help. Doesn’t this sound like the kind of thing you’d like, Mugikko?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s not that I &#039;&#039;like&#039;&#039; Malign Spirits.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Quite the opposite.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hibashi-sama.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She strongly believed she existed so she could exorcise and eliminate that woman.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(I’m more curious why this producer or whoever thought going to Yuhi-san would get them in touch with a pro like me. The mass media really is terrifying.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Interested?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I suppose.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That detective was usually her contact for jobs like these…but she was curious how her information had reached the TV station. Accepting the job wasn’t a bad way of doing some poking around in that regard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(And the detective seems busy with that Nagatacho Leaders Case, or whatever.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once school was out, the two of them left their high school and met up with middle schooler Betsuzaki Yuhi. The straitlaced sister led them to a “station” they didn’t normally use. It was an open space resembling a small (and of course artificial) viewing platform.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sitting on it was a flying vehicle resembling a two or three meter multirotor drone with the seats and safety bars of a thrill ride forcibly attached. Two seats each were attached to the left and right sides of the boxy body facing outwards, so it must have been meant for four passengers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“A-a shuttle drone?” The online shrine maiden looked a bit nervous. “Wow. Aren’t these so popular they’re nearly impossible to hire even with the apps?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The TV station is on good terms with the transportation company for busses and taxis. When it’s related to a job, they get priority for toys like this.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yuhi made it all sound normal for her. Apparently she really did frequently visit the TV station.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The seats seemed even less reliable than a cafe stool. There were areas to rest your butt and back, but your legs dangled down just like on a roller coaster.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The nervous online shrine maiden sat in one of the artificial leather seats and a U-shape safety bar lowered in front of her. It fastened itself at her shoulders and belly to hold her in place.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Phew. …N-no warning. They must not have a height requirement like at an amusement park.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“(Hey, Onee-chan. Yahirodono-san is so relieved she’s completely let her guard down.)”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“(Leave her be, sister. But wow. Look at those huge and glorious boobs resting on top of the safety bar.)”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gyaru sister took the seat next to her and the straitlaced sister took one on the opposite side of the drone. Tsumugi tried to look to the sisters as they said something on a video call with their phones, but the safety bar was in the way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, it was holding her in place, so she couldn’t move. What was going to happen now!?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“H-h-h-how do we input our destination?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It syncs with the map app on your phone after you stick it in the holder. So you don’t have to do anything else.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her feet left the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As she broke free of gravity, she felt the same strange floating feeling as when using an elevator in a skyscraper.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No one was facing forward. All the seats were pointing to one side or the other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, oh, ohhhhh, ohhh…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She wasn’t used to facing a different direction from the direction of movement. She gripped the U-shaped safety bar’s side cars in her hands to try and stay balanced. She knew it didn’t actually accomplish anything, but the instinct was hard to shake.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gyaru sister said something in the neighboring seat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, the spinning rotors were so loud Tsumugi could only hear her through the wireless earphones linked to her phone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Mugikko, Mugikko? I know how you feel, but you should really place your hands in your lap.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wh-why?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Your skirt.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The online shrine maiden’s face went red and she quickly adjusted the position of her hands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They should have told her sooner the classic mistake at an amusement park’s free fall ride was an issue here!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The drone weaved rapidly between skyscrapers, but the flight itself was stable. Just like a delivery drone, the program control carried them to the designated destination.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’m glad, Yahirodono-san,” said the straitlaced sister as they flew through the sky.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That you didn’t let &#039;&#039;what happened before&#039;&#039; keep you down.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…Yes.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rainy appeared to be frantically sending a comment to Yuhi’s phone, but Tsumugi chose not to read it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had been utterly defeated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Worse, her friends had seen it happen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was overcome by burning fury and humiliation…she thought. She normally would be. But her usual shyness kept her from showing it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hibashi-sama was the only known Quintuple Dread Star.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was literally on another level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;What would Tsumugi do&#039;&#039; next time they met?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Instead of the unnecessary elements of shame or ferocity, she only felt a sweat born from a place much closer to the level of instinct.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An emotion so pure it could overcome even the drive for vengeance. An uncontrollable factor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;She&#039;&#039; was here in New Sea City.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If Tsumugi encountered her and screwed it up, she wouldn’t be the only one to die.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She couldn’t go into this without a plan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(I need to find something – some kind of trump card. I can’t let these people die.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They arrived at their destination.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Waterfront TV office building. Tsumugi had expected something high-tech, but she actually recognized it. It was the same building as the shopping mall the gyaru sister had taken her to for apron shopping.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, the entrance and exit were located in an entirely different place from the commercial area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the offices, you entered through two layers of large automatic doors with guards posted to reach a spacious lobby containing a reception counter and a long row of machines much like train station ticket gates. There were more then ten of them lined up. However, there didn’t seem to be any x-ray bag scanners or metal detectors. Beyond, Tsumugi could see an elevator hall and a meeting space that resembled a fashionable cafe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rainy was delighted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Huh, so this is Waterfront TV. I’ve never been in this entrance.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’m surprised. I expected you to be checking under the sofas for celebrities.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What? Mugikko, is TV really that great when streaming video exists?” Rainy looked puzzled. “I mean, TV and online videos both have their issues. Come to think of it, Rie was mad about being approached on the street for a TV interview and the camera’s red recording LED was already on before they got her permission.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apparently the gyaru sister didn’t distinguish much between TV and online video.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So maybe she would chase after an amateur if they had enough views or followers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Wait, is that what she’s doing with me?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But if you really want me to, internet shrine maiden, I guess I can scan for wireless LANs and note down the names of the mobile routers. I can look into it more carefully later, but just knowing the name of a celebrity’s mobile router could help tail them since it only shows up if you’re near them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Stop that. It sounds super criminal. And definitely don’t make it sound like it was my idea.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gyaru sister wasn’t listening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She stretched her arm out away from her with her folding smartphone in hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was starting something. Looking troubled, Tsumugi asked her about it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wh-what’s this? A new kind of oracle???”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I always take a selfie when I visit a new place. C’mere, Mugikko, Yuhi. Scooch in next to me. Hm, it’s hard to fit all three of us in the frame. We’ll have to get our faces in right next to each other!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“There’s a mall in the building, Onee-chan. Why not buy a selfie stick?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Get in the habit of buying phone accessories like that and you end up with a ton of them just like plastic umbrellas. Okay, get ready! Time to smooch the shrine maiden!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Was this gyaru going straight for her cheek!? The online shrine maiden jumped straight up and somehow managed to avoid it just as Rainy pressed the take picture icon on her camera app.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rainy grinned down at the small screen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Just as planned: I got a great action shot. Hwa ha ha. Check this out, Mugikko. You can almost see these huge boobs jiggling in the photo!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“H-how humiliating… I thought this was about visiting a new place.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also, weren’t they here for a job related to Malign Spirits? With a sigh of exasperation, the online shrine maiden followed the flow of the crowd past the reception desk. One of the device’s resembling a train station ticket gate swiftly reacted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:125%&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;Ding ding!!&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Nyuwah!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What are you doing, Yahirodono-san!? You can’t get in without a pass!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The straitlaced sister ran over to the girl panicking after the plastic panels closed in front of her. The receptionist must have recognized her because she had been given some guest passes you wore around the neck.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even past the ticket gate(?), they still weren’t truly “inside”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The TV station’s actual work all happened after taking an elevator. And there appeared to be checkpoints here and there. The online shrine maiden and Rainy were instead shown to the meeting space that resembled a fashionable cafe. As if to say outside guests were allowed no further.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(W-well, they aren’t going to trust us right away.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As much as the place resembled a fashionable cafe, it was decorated with posters and life-size cardboard cutouts for the station’s programs. They appeared to be pushing a psychic known as Divine Mother Glitter at the moment. She looked like the stereotypical gaudy spiritualist witch. The 80-inch LCD monitor on the wall showed a woman of indeterminate age in a gaudy dress shouting about how she could manipulate your fortune and that you would be unlucky if you combined this color and that color in your outfit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The vending machines use paper cups. Wow, the coffee looks really fancy.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gyaru sister turned her rear on the monitor and ignored the shrill voice altogether. Apparently she wasn’t interested. She look all around the meeting space and finally focused on the magazine rack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Paper magazines? They still make TV magazines? I thought these had gone extinct ages ago.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“C’mon, Onee-chan…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ooh, now this is good. Check it out: it’s this week’s Java Sparrow☆”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wait, keeping that kind of tabloid in a TV station feels like a bad idea to me!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The straitlaced sister bristled as she ignored the fancy baked goods for guests and instead pulled out one of her own fish sausages.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Is the station sent a copy of every issue that covers one of their shows?” asked Tsumugi just to have something to add to the conversation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But the gyaru sister said something else with the tabloid in hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Well, I don’t like the idea of having fun at someone else’s expense in the middle of the day like this. Besides, we have three girls at this table. We can find a healthier and more hopeful topic of discussion! So it’s time for a girl’s party!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“A girl’s party?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It wasn’t that Tsumugi didn’t know what that meant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She just didn’t know why Rainy would bring it up now, but that didn’t seem to get through to the gyaru sister and her beaming smile. Not even a little bit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What do you do at a girl’s party? Talk about love of course! Okay, Mugikko, what kind of person do you want to target with your love in the distant future? Tell us everything, you secretive shrine maiden!! C’mon!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The straitlaced sister frowned too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The online shrine maiden was silently relieved at having the majority on her side. Extremely relieved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Onee-chan, do you really need to ask that quivering little creature a question like that?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Good point. She is always with Big Brother Detective Kouga-san, so he’s gotta be at the top of her list.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“W-w-w-wait, why, why would you bring him up here!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi flailed her hands around as if trying to erase something.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…Yuhi had meant that romance would be forbidden for a shrine’s pure shrine maiden, but that super simple escape route went right over her head. Instead she only tried to shut down the conversation so forcefully it only made Rainy more suspicious.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That’s enough about me! I’m passing the baton to you!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ehh, you’re dragging me into this?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The straitlaced sister recoiled a bit while seated in her chair, but she eventually began talking. As casually as if she were discussing what was left in the fridge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Well, I’d like someone who can make up for what I don’t have. Someone who’s cheerful, keeps up on all the latest trends, sociable, active, and you could talk with them for hours without getting bored.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hm?” The online shrine maiden tilted her head. Weren’t they talking about love? But those traits seemed to perfectly fit the gyaru inconsiderately cackling as she read through the tabloid in the other seat. Was this something subconscious at work?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi turned her gaze to the last person at the table.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Look up from the magazine. You’re not getting out of this when you brought it up to begin with. You finish it off for us.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:75%&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Do I really have to?&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What, you can’t do it yourself!? But this was your idea to begin with, you irresponsible nervous gyaru!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Onee-chan is just like this…” said Yuhi with a hand on her forehead. Her sister was a troublemaker through and through.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Having taken an arbitrary seat at the round table, the online shrine maiden began her usual &#039;&#039;habit&#039;&#039; of scratching the underside of the table, but then she noticed something odd. Something was pasted there. About the size of a yen note.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was an exorcism sticker connected to that Divine Mother Glitter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The straitlaced sister also took a look under the table with a complicated expression on her face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Is this from the special insert in that magazine?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…Looks like they were grasping at straws.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That suggested this job wasn’t just a joke. They were seriously suffering.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the girls killed time like that, a pair of men approached them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The tall one with a sharp look in his eyes gave off the air of someone highly ranked. Was he a producer?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The plump man who appeared to be his subordinate pulled a folded handkerchief from his pocket as he spoke.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Sorry about the wait. You are the one Betsuzaki Yuhi-san said she was bringing, yes? Who are you exactly?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“A specialist.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was all the online shrine maiden said. The type of shrine, her rank in training, and any other precise terminology would only go over the men’s heads. Besides, the idea of them questioning her more carefully scared her. Terrified her. Tremble, tremble.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The three of them were in their school uniforms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The men knew the other two had to be Yuhi’s friends, but they couldn’t have known which one was the ghost specialist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I am Director Kobayashi. He is Producer Hanryou.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The producer didn’t say a word and only prompted the director to continue with a look. He seemed accustomed to people doing what he said. The timid director didn’t complain and got started while wiping the sweat from his face using his handkerchief.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We are from Production Department 3 and…how should I put this? Well, to put it simply, our department makes documentaries in remote areas.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh? Like here in New Sea City?” asked the gyaru sister, prompting him to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…Apparently she wasn’t much different from the producer. At the very last, she wasn’t too shy to speak with strangers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Well, yes. But our department has little to do with Department 1 that does the news, so what we do is more like a variety show than anything.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The plump man, who was more like Tsumugi, wiped his sweat away as he continued.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Anyway, there is a single building that has has an unusual number of accidents. It has become known as the Apartment of Many Deaths. Have experts like you heard of it perhaps?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Oh, there.&#039;&#039; The online shrine maiden’s gaze sharpened a bit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They had to bring TV cameras in there like it was all a big joke, did they?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“After we got enough material there and were beginning to film the reproduction drama, the extras started asking to quit one after another. Dozens of them all at once. That’s not normal. We aren’t going to make our deadline like this. And when we asked them why…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“They started telling you terrifying ghost stories?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Um, well.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Several sets of rough footsteps thundered by.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Dammit, where’s the AED!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Mother Glitter’s green room is on the 5th floor!! The stairs will be faster!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Do whatever it takes, just don’t let her die before the ambulance gets here. We’ll be liable if she dies here!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Grownups were terrifying. What was that angry shouting really worried about?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mother Glitter was the name on the exorcism sticker on the bottom of the table, wasn’t it?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If she was in her green room, she may have been scheduled to appear on TV.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That’s what happens when you provoke them. But she truly is unlucky to get hit by a real Malign Spirit’s counterattack after someone pasted her stickers around. All that talk of being a divine mother of fortune must be a lie.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The online shrine maiden held a hand to her forehead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The director spoke as if whispering to the speechless gyaru sister.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“All the extras said they were targeted by Hasshaku-sama.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 3===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Detective&amp;gt; Hasshaku-sama is a Malign Spirit whose existence was discovered through the internet.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Online Shrine Maiden&amp;gt; Hold on. So netlore is the only source here?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Detective&amp;gt; Since she has been confirmed as a Malign Spirit, she must be involved in an actual death.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Online Shrine Maiden&amp;gt; Do you mean there is some truth to the story, or did the panic caused by the rumors lead to someone dying?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Detective&amp;gt; There are a number of variations, but the story generally goes as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The story’s narrator returns to his rural hometown during spring break. Most versions have the narrator as a student. While in the yard, he sees an exceptionally tall woman over the hedge. He hears the woman say something meaningless like ‘po po po’.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“He only thinks of her as creepy person at the time, but when he tells his relatives about it, the local adults seem really disturbed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“They let him know she is a local threat known as Hasshaku-sama and they begin taking countermeasures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“They tell him Hasshaku-sama takes people’s lives and she charms her targets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The narrator is isolated in one room of the large house while holding a protective talisman and closed in all night with the room sealed with charms and piles of salt. His relatives visit the locked entrance, but he was told Hasshaku-sama can mimic familiar voices, so he just barely avoids disaster by not unlocking the door.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“However, this isn’t enough to eliminate the threat of Hasshaku-sama, so the next day the narrator’s family drives him back to his home in the city, allowing him to escape. Supposedly Hasshaku-sama’s ability to sense her target is dulled when his close relatives are nearby, so his relatives gather around him in the car until they manage to leave the rural village.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Also, the stories often associate Hasshaku-sama with a broken jizo statue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The jizo statue used to keep her from entering the village, but now she can appear wherever she wants.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The two main points as a ghost story are that Hasshaku-sama spreads death without any way of defeating her and that the familiar relatives are all steeped in old traditions. The way she charms her targets gives her an alluring aspect despite how much of a threat she is, and the return to the countryside and the destroyed jizo statue open up the possibility that anyone could encounter her. That loose end may work to draw people’s interest.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Online Shrine Maiden&amp;gt; Now that was a wall of text.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Detective&amp;gt; That this one story has spread so wide for so long shows just how many people find this kind of horror attractive. And the countless variations mean the two main points I mentioned have likely been embellished and exaggerated as the story has spread. That Hasshaku-sama remains unbeatable while the Kuchisake-Onna has gained more and more baseless weakness over time says the story is more attractive when she has no weaknesses. Remember, this is all information you can consider, but don’t accept any of it at face value.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Online Shrine Maiden&amp;gt; Thank you for all this.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Detective&amp;gt; Let’s sum up: The Malign Spirit named Hasshaku-sama is eight shaku tall. A shaku is more than 30 centimeters, so she is quite tall. She’s known for wearing a white dress and a large hat, but there are other versions. Originally, some rural village acted as her territory, but the end of the story tends to release her into the world beyond the village.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Online Shrine Maiden&amp;gt; It’s all so vague. The amulet, the charms, the salt, and the proximity of close relatives can all protect you? But it’s usually only your family at home with you, so wouldn’t you generally be safe there? I won’t ask about the star rating, but what does the Malign Spirit do?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Detective&amp;gt; Deadly attacks. No, it would be more accurate to say she catches and kills her targets. Sometimes she visits their room, but since there isn’t much reference to direct contact, she can probably ignore distance to an extent. And she targets small children.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A big X stamp.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Detective&amp;gt; There is no pattern to her appearances. There is no set time or place and no ritual for summoning her. When she finds a child she likes, she lures them out, captures them, and kills them. Unlike bathroom ghost stories and fortunetelling, she comes to you, so there’s no way for the human to initiate contact.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Online Shrine Maiden&amp;gt; She sounds like an awfully capricious predator…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Detective&amp;gt; Also, while it isn’t deadly, you mustn’t forget her ability to mimic familiar voices because that can get the victim to break the barrier and leave the room themselves. So instead of using brute strength, she has enough intelligence to confuse a living human. Although the stories say she normally only says ‘po po po’ or ‘bo bo bo’.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Okay. Where to begin”? Whispered the online shrine maiden, folding up her trifold phone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was 6:30 PM.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Right about the time it started to get dark.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A collection of online information wasn’t necessarily enough to get an accurate profile of a Malign Spirit. When they didn’t even know the star ranking, it was best to take this advance information with a grain of salt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was raining outside. This kind of powerful squall was common on New Sea City. It had started raining around five, while they were still speaking in the TV station. The shuttle drones had been grounded due to the possibility of thunder. The straitlaced sister was the capable sort of person who always carried a collapsible umbrella with her, so she was unbothered by the weather.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The less capable gyaru sister pushed her way on under Tsumugi’s rental umbrella.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You’ll take the job, right? So where are we starting?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“From where we actually have some solid information.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi wanted to get some reliable information to corroborate the uncertain online ghost story. That meant visiting the drama extras who claimed to have been attacked by Hasshaku-sama and visiting the haunted Apartment of Many Deaths.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Online Shrine Maiden&amp;gt; I plan to start with the extras.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Detective&amp;gt; That makes sense to me. We can’t demand people answer our questions the way the police can. The extras went as far as quitting their jobs. If they’re already scared, it should be easier to get answers out of them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Online Shrine Maiden&amp;gt; I see.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Detective&amp;gt; Now, I’d love to help you with the investigation, but I can’t.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Online Shrine Maiden&amp;gt; Don’t worry about it. You work on your own case. There’s been progress in the Nagatacho Leaders Case, right?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A stamp of a bowing puppy saying “sorry”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Online Shrine Maiden&amp;gt; Mh. Not bad, detective. That’s pretty cute.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Detective&amp;gt; Want me to tell you what I searched on the shop to find it?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Online Shrine Maiden&amp;gt; Anyway. You left the police to pursue that case, so don’t give up on it now.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“He agrees.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Well, if we have a pro’s stamp of approval, it can’t be a bad plan, can it?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Director Kobayashi had given them a list of the extras. Tsumugi doubted they would all be willing to talk right away, but there were a few dozen. It wasn’t a big deal even if the first few didn’t work out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But if filming couldn’t continue, was it so bad that no one else was willing to take a job as an extra? The story must have spread already.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The sharp hum of a motor passed by overhead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All sorts of drones, from hobbyist ones to professional ones, were constantly flying above New Sea City, but the white and black painted body indicated this one was an unmanned police patrol drone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The shuttle drones had been grounded, but apparently the fully unmanned ones could still fly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I hate those patrol drones. I can’t relax with the way they fly by buildings and peek in through the windows. And unlike security cameras, I’ve heard they also record the voices of people on the ground.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gyaru sister said this from beneath Tsumugi’s umbrella. She had heard. From Chatty maybe?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The smart buildings of New Sea City all reflected sunlight like mirrors, but was that meant to avoid spying like that, or was it just an architectural trend.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If you’re at the outdoor tables for a chain cafe or something, they say to watch out if a group of well-dressed men suddenly stop talking. That means they’re worried about having their conversation spied on by a drone passing by overhead.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Watch out for what? For the drone equipped with a shotgun mic, or for the sweet-toothed men?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gyaru sister pushed her shoulder up against Tsumugi’s to stay under her umbrella and peeked at the paper list of names.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Anyway, who are we trying first?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“With the first on the list: Anzai Ima.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But they got lucky on the first try.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They set out in the rain for the apartment provided on the list, but something was odd. A windowless work van was parked near the entrance with several antennae pointed toward a single window on a higher floor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The license plate matched the one on the list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Still under Tsumugi’s umbrella, the gyaru sister peeked inside the driver’s side window.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What are you doing? Researching UFOs or something?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wahh!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A woman of around college age panicked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Based on the photo on the list, this was Anzai Ima.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was one of the extras.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Dbafbhadhfa- it’s really happening!? Hasshaku-sama is here to- huh? Isn’t she supposed to be tall?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yuhi, pull out your phone and hover your finger over the emergency button. If she’s spying, you know what to do.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wait, no!! That’s my room!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The woman rolled down the window and leaned out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I know Hasshaku-sama has been attacking us extras one after another. She’s suppose to appear by your bed, so going home is suicide. But, but if I watch on from outside like this, I might be able to get a great shot of her appearing, right? Then everyone will believe me and actually try to help me. I might even find her weakness or something…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The online shrine maiden sighed in exasperation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Was the work van crammed full of film equipment? It had to be some specialized stuff to fill an entire van.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just to be sure, she sent a photo to the people who spent all their time on the internet shrine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lady Nine Tails happened to be on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That eccentric took a scientific approach to the paranormal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Lady Nine Tails&amp;gt; I see. Radio, infrared, ultrasound, and this must be magnetic. No part-time extra can afford all of this. Did she borrow it from a college club maybe?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Do film clubs and drama clubs have equipment this nice these days?”’&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No matter how much you tried to deny it, something paranormal was happening. And there were a variety of countermeasures you could take when you were actually attacked. You could cover your room with strange charms printed out on copy paper, or you could try to put your mind at ease by explaining it all scientifically using terms like electromagnetic waves or psychology.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Lady Nine Tails&amp;gt; But Hasshaku-sama, huh? She captures you and kills you or she possesses you. Either way, there isn’t much room for science there.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That happens sometimes. Besides, this case involves a Malign Spirit.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Lady Nine Tails&amp;gt; Oh? Like I’ve said before, true spirits do not clash with science at all. The real ones hang out just fine in the gaps between different sciences.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Lady Nine Tails&amp;gt; But there is no science here. …Doesn’t that seem unnatural to you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The way she hinted at something more only made it sound more specious. Needless to say, the smug face in the square frame resembling an online meeting program belonged to an eccentric, so maybe it was best not to take her too seriously.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The witness right in front of Tsumugi mattered more at the moment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The woman was afraid to go home, so she had spent all night curled up in her van to feel safe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anzai Ima.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was no point in asking her if the Malign Spirit existed or not.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was truly afraid and really believed. So they should be able to get some details out of her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I-I knew it was a bad idea. I just knew it would get us in trouble from the moment they gave me the script… I was just one extra among many, but I couldn’t believe the stars had agreed to do such a dangerous job.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yeah, I guess doing a story based on the Apartment of Many Deaths would seem pretty creepy,” said Rainy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The extra shook her head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The college girl pulled out something like a balled-up vacation guidebook.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apparently it was the drama’s script.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That was only the beginning. The real trouble started here, with the Threat Scapegoat.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 4===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To keep out of the rain, they gathered around a table on the second floor of a nearby hamburger shop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The three girls each ordered a small soda plus some fries and nuggets which were normally considered sides. None of them ordered a burger despite how good they were, so did this not feel like their main dinner?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or were they simply not hungry?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That’s awful,” spat the online shrine maiden.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When she used her phone to search the date given as dialogue in the flimsy script, she found the records of an incident that had been buried by everything else going on in the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The reality spread out before her was far removed from the cheap and cheerful pop music playing inside the restaurant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What would happen if they aired this on TV as a documentary?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was about a girl of around ten.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With unnatural bruises on her sides and upper arms, injuries from being thrown down the stairs, a fractured right cheekbone, and a large burn across her back…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the victim said nothing, the abuse tended to escalate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was the perfect example of that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Abuse at the hands of the hundreds of residents of the entire high-rise apartment building…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Do you know what stigmatized property is?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…Yes. Isn’t it an apartment or whatever where someone was known to have died in some terrible way?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Right.” Tsumugi confirmed Rainy’s reluctant answer. “The Apartment of Many Deaths is a haunted location where several of the rooms in the same building have become stigmatized property. Suicide, crime, murder suicide, fire – the cause of death varies. And it’s a bit of a chicken or the egg situation. Does living there make you unlucky, or do unlucky, troubled people end up living there because they can’t afford anything else?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The online shrine maiden sighed softly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Here we go. The Threat Scapegoat was apparently born inside the Apartment of Many Deaths. Her mother went into labor before her due date and there wasn’t time to get to the hospital.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The child born inside the strange Apartment of Many Deaths had become the Threat Scapegoat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was vaguely creepy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A shared understanding of the occult led people to attack her to put their own minds at ease.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This is crazy!” shouted the gyaru sister. “She’s just a normal person!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Of course. Someone dies every day in a large hospital, so by this logic, everyone born in that hospital would be a Threat Scapegoat.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But some had neglected to inspect the idea so carefully.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The devilish people who prioritized their own frustrations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi made a conscious effort to suppress her emotions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Bad things keep happening in the Apartment of Many Deaths, so ordinary cause and effect no longer apply for the people who live there. Even when they try to stay safe in the ordinary ways like making absolutely sure they lock their doors, people keep dying. But the apartment has large rooms for families, right? I know finding a home here is a challenge what with the online lotteries and waiting lists for anywhere halfway decent. Buying a lot means taking out a decades-long loan, so it can’t be easy to sell this stigmatized property and make enough money to move. They would end up in the red. So they can’t escape.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That oil lighter can defeat Malign Spirits. We know how it’s done, so it doesn’t seem like much. But for the people who don’t, the fear keeps growing and growing and they can never stop searching for an answer. Listen. The invisible threat of death lurks all around them, but there is one concrete rumor spreading around. You fight a ghost with a ghost: the cries and screams of the Threat Scapegoat can keep the unseen threat at bay.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It pissed her off to even say it out loud.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even a baseless good luck ritual like this could get someone killed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The documentary reproduction drama greatly embellished the creepy rumors without touching on any of this. No thought was given to the girl’s psychological trauma, or to the danger of the confusion spreading beyond the apartment if this was aired on TV.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yuhi frowned.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What about her parents…?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“At the very least, they’re turning a blind eye. I don’t know if they’re actively beating their own child, though. It seems like they’re afraid of being made into a target themselves.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…It seemed obvious enough why the residents of the Apartment of Many Deaths were so unhappy. In the end, most happiness in life came down to your interpersonal relationships. Simply put, they’d brought it on themselves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The kind of person who could indulge in a dark pleasure over doing these things would never be accepted by others and find happiness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That said, Tsumugi had another question.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“While this is a major problem, does it have anything to do with Hasshaku-sama? If the extras were attacked one after another until work on the reproduction drama ended, it feels like there should be some kind of connection.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hasshaku-sama appeared regardless of time or place. There was no ritual for someone to summon her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That should mean the Threat Scapegoat couldn’t actively summon Hasshaku-sama.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And then…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I think I kind of get it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This came from the gyaru sister.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The online shrine maiden tilted her head, so Rainy smiled bitterly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maybe this was hard to imagine for someone who had decided all Malign Spirits needed to be exorcised.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But Rainy was different. After being bound by one once, she could see it differently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We know Hasshaku-sama doesn’t appear at any set time or place. And there’s no ritual for summoning her. That Malign Spirit simply finds a child she likes, lures them out, captures them, and takes their life.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“And…?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You don’t get it, Mugikko? &#039;&#039;Doesn’t that mean she prefers certain kinds of people&#039;&#039;?” said the gyaru sister.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But wait.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Let’s say Hasshaku-sama was wandering around New Sea City when she decided on a new target. And what if the child that perfectly met her preferences happened to be known as the Threat Scapegoat? People are hurling verbal abuse at the girl, beating her with their fists, and not even her parents are helping. What would happen then? It’s starting to come into view, isn’t it?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hasshaku-sama can mimic familiar voices…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That meant she could speak with people. Rainy nodded at Yuhi’s comment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Right. So I bet I know what she said when she saw the girl.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 5===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“&#039;&#039;How did you get that burn on your back&#039;&#039;?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 6===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Silence fell for a bit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
None of the girls said a word.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The online shrine maiden wasn’t about to say every last single living human was a good person. That was obviously false after what they discovered at the Vanishing Canal the other day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maybe it wasn’t every single resident of the Apartment of Many Deaths, but most of them were attacking the Threat Scapegoat as a group. Like that was a ritual meant to ward off evil. Even though she hadn’t done anything wrong. Malign Spirit Hasshaku-sama had learned what was happening to the young child she had taken a liking to and gotten mad about it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Who was truly the evil one here?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gyaru sister spoke to get the conversation going again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So is the next step to take turns keeping an eye on the Threat Scapegoat’s surroundings? It sounds like that’s where Hasshaku-sama will show up.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But, Onee-chan, aren’t we focusing on the wrong opponent here? If we want to save that girl, we have to do something about the grownups in the apartment, not the mysterious ghost.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hasshaku-sama &#039;&#039;hunts down&#039;&#039; the child she takes a liking to, so won’t it be a bad idea to ignore her either way?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Happiness from Hasshaku-sama’s point of view wouldn’t necessarily allow the human to stay alive. She would likely take the Threat Scapegoat away and kill her in the name of removing her from the dangerous world of the living.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The online shrine maiden unfolded her trifold phone as she listened.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She started up a map app.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gyaru sister tilted her head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hey, what’re you-”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wait.” Tsumugi’s fingertip stopped on the screen. “I was right. Hasshaku-sama’s activity pattern doesn’t make sense. Tracking her based on the witness accounts gives us data at a fairly high frequency. There’s a two hour lag here between 5 and 7 PM.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“There was a traffic jam at the same time. Don’t you remember? When we left the TV station, they had grounded the shuttle drones because they could be struck by lightning. That meant more people were taking the surface route.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had of course never heard of a Malign Spirit driving a car.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why would the traffic conditions influence this one’s actions?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s also weird she would only target the extras if she wanted to end the reproduction drama.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hm? But, Yahirodono-san, weren’t more of them affected than anyone else because there’s so many of them?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Or the stars, the director, and the producer were all avoided because their security is too tight, while the extras were a lot easier to go after.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The three girls exchanged a look.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was the correct choice when the goal was to prevent filming from continuing, but it seemed a little too human.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Was this Hasshaku-sama really a Malign Spirit?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Weren’t they forgetting a fundamental fact here? Tsumugi considered it for a bit and then grimaced.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was one person without an alibi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It can’t be…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had no actual evidence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But something did appear in the back of her mind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had been the sole survivor when a large shrine was burned down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The worst of the Malign Spirits, Hibashi-sama, was responsible, but she had been told someone else had summoned her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the time, she had been nothing more than a burden.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But in that moment when she couldn’t trust anything in the world, who was it who hadn’t hesitated to reach out a helping hand?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No, it can’t be!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 7===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You’re strong, so maybe you can bear it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The detective had quit the police to pursue National Top Priority Case #015: The Nagatacho Leaders Case.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But he had also reached out a helping hand to the online shrine maiden who had been the sole survivor when her shrine burned down. That meant he did not &#039;&#039;just&#039;&#039; work toward his goal. When he felt it necessary, he would take any number of detours.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But I just can’t.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because he was such an excellent detective, he could tell what people truly held dear just by observing them. He could see their secrets, the things they couldn’t tell anyone…everything.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He focused on one condition first and foremost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He would never allow any pain or death if he could help it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So please find the courage and tell me what to do. So I can do the right thing.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hisame Kouga had run across this by happenstance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He had found something he needed to prioritize over the case he was pursuing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He had discovered a small life who had to be saved here and now. It couldn’t be put off.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“&#039;&#039;How did you get that burn on your back&#039;&#039;?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So there was no doubting it this time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That righteous hero was well and truly pissed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Story Synopsis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the distant future, Earth has been devastated and its inhabitants seek a new home in the heavens. However, constant warfare forces humans to return to Earth, which has turned into an uninhabitable planet except for a certain area called the Divine States.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Divine States are too small to accommodate all the humans, so they duplicated the area and created the Harmonic Divine States. In order to retrace their steps and rediscover their journey to the heavens, the returned humans began to reproduce history from the year 10,000 BC, using a mysterious history book called Testament.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
History reproduction proceeds smoothly until A.D. 1413, when a war broke out in the Divine States. This causes the Harmonic Divine States to crash onto the original world. The humans living in the Harmonic Divine States lose their land and invade the original world. The people of the Divine States surrender and they are divided by the invaders from the Harmonic Divine States. They try to resume the reproduction of history from A.D.1457, but the update of history terminates in A.D.1648. A rumor of apocalypse begins to spread around the world.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Chapter 31: Household Mother==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Horizon10B_p0245.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;My mother&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Is a wonderful person&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Who is always brandishing a big weapon&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Point Allocation (Translated Text?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Naomasa looked to Murayama’s diplomatic port below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was exclusive to Murayama and primarily used to receive cargo from the provisionally ruled nations. Engine room workers like her and Musashi residents in general rarely had reason to visit, so she only recalled being here for maintenance and when making an emergency docking.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a large place. It currently had walls set up in each block to produce defense barriers and there were no ships docked there. Nevertheless, a 200 meter square space had been created on the outer edge of the ship there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The defenders were positioned on her side of that space.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hidamari Genbu was on the farther side, but the black god of war wasn’t doing much. The port was equipped with secondary cannons, but they had stopped firing on the Azuchi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Of course they have.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Unless directly attacked, they want to focus on the duels with our officers, don’t they?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Naomasa spoke from the transport ship as it began an unmistakable descent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Fukushima Masanori is Futayo’s child, Katou Kiyomasa is Mary and Tenzou’s child, Katou Yoshiaki and Wakisaka Angie are Naito and Naruze’s children, Katagiri Katsumoto is Suzu and Toori’s child, and Hirano Nagayasu and Kasuya Takenori are Asama-chi, Mito, and Toori’s children.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her eyes stopped on the black god of war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But whose child are you, Hachisuka Koroku? No, none of us are your parents. I know who you are.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She said it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You’re Yu, aren’t you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You’re you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Horizon tilted her head, so Asama turned to her with a smile.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Um, Horizon? ‘Yu’, not ‘you’. To explain further…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Heh heh. Asama, that was a decent retort, but isn’t this trouble? It might be as bad as with your secret child.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mention of the power words “secret child” led Horizon to try and tear up a piece of the floor for her “you thief” bit, but Asama was looking to port. Her eyes stopped on Murayama where…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Masa! Are you saying what I think you are!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Smoking Girl:&#039;&#039;&#039; “That’s right, I am. I’ve got this mostly figured out. Yes. That’s definitely Yu inside that Genbu god of war. …That’s my sister who currently exists inside Suzaku.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Koroku sighed in the farmland spread out within Genbu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When she held her straw hat down and looked back, she saw a house.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Next to it was a large barn for storing farming equipment. All the doors were open wide. The complete lack of caution about intruders may have been because it was midday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But her eyes fell on a plate sitting atop a gap in the boards below the eaves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That lunch had been prepared for her at some point. It was likely fried rice or something.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But she didn’t approach it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She looked up into the sky – a blue sky with nothing but wispy clouds blowing by – and voiced the words in her heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So you found me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;So that’s how it works.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Avalon was probably the key.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Naomasa’s sister remained within Suzaku’s joining mechanism. In a battle before she arrived on the Musashi, her sister’s body had been so badly damaged she had chosen to join with Suzaku as its startup system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had hoped to remain there until some future time when she could be healed, but it had been hard to say whether she was really alive or dead. Naomasa had only been convinced of her survival during the Armada Battle. There, her sister had proven herself to be conscious during the battle against the Byakko.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Were you taken to Avalon in the future?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That’s right,” responded Katagiri. In the Azuchi’s 90-degree tilted hall, he sat on the wall-turned-floor and confirmed Musashi’s 6th Special Duty Officer’s suggestion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Our External Blessings were sent into the outside world to replenish the ley lines and restore the world. When they came up with that idea, our mothers and their companions provided a wide variety of reasons for recommending different candidates. …At the time, Hachisuka-san had regained consciousness, but the damage to her body was still too severe for her to leave the god of war. But because she could become a data entity like that…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was why she had entered Avalon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“External Blessing production is more efficient in that form. The ether needed to maintain a physical body is included in the consumption equation and, if a threat ever arose within Avalon, she could use her god of war’s reaction speed to respond to it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Naomasa sighed softly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her transport ship had already docked at the port. The defenders there opened the hatch and began receiving the supplies and equipment needed to evacuate, but Naomasa did not leave the deck.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was viewing the data on her opponent who the Representative Committee Head had gathered and relayed to her through the Musashino bridge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hachisuka Koroku.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was already 12. That age would put her in elementary or middle school, but she had skipped to high school.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;She must have spent three years or so inside Suzaku.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Time had passed since then, so if the girl inside Suzaku had grown, wouldn’t she be older than the one in Genbu?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or would she?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But based on the information Naomasa had, there was one definite difference between her sister inside Suzaku and the version of her out there as her enemy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This one had a full, intact body.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had always sensed something familiar about Hachisuka, but she had figured it was just that they came from a similar part of the Far East. This was why she hadn’t suspected more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her body was unscathed. But Naomasa understood why that was now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Extracting her from her External Blessings negated the damage to her body, didn’t it?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Testament.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It took a moment to realize the sudden reply had come from Genbu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She looked up to see her opponent. Naomasa was on the transport ship. Her eye level was a little higher than Genbu’s, but they were far apart. And with that different eye level…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Is that also why you’re younger?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Testament. When I was extracted, the percentage of my body lost was restored by taking some of my age. I’m actually the oldest of us.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The hint of frustration there was kind of amusing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;What is that about?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had barely paid any attention to this enemy, but now she saw her as a member of her family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She couldn’t deny it now. Because…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Denying you would be to deny the you inside Suzaku and to deny my own hopes for her.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We are different people.” Genbu spoke slowly. “We aren’t…the same.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Koroku moved into the shade of a tree near the house.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The shade was a welcome relief from the summer sun on this large farmland.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It dropped its dry leaves in autumn and the fruits it grew from winter to spring were small but had a powerfully sour accent to their flavor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She and her sister had often played below and in the tree. She spoke now with her back leaning against that trunk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We aren’t.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her hands both had all their fingers. She had both arms and both legs. Her body didn’t have holes in the sides or gut large enough for your hand to sink in up to the wrist. Her face was whole and intact.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We aren’t.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They weren’t the same. So…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No, huh?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Naomasa replied to the voice coming from Genbu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was also thinking “no”. But there was no real reason for her “no”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was currently confused by the new information and revelation, so she wasn’t sure what to do.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hence “no”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She couldn’t be hasty or superficial. So even if the “no” that came from that was rushed, she thought it was fine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But Hachisuka’s “no” was different.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She knew it all. She knew everything about her path here and what would come later.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some aspects of the “no” spoken from that viewpoint had to be hard to articulate. And come to think of it…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;You’re actually older than me now, aren’t you?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Horizey:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Could we abuse You-sama’s age reduction to become more or less immortal?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Smoking Girl:&#039;&#039;&#039; “You-sama…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Asama:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Oh, looking after Masa’s mental health will have to come later. Anyway, this has only reduced the age of her appearance information. The amount of information in her Blessings is based on the age of her soul, so it could prevent aging but it couldn’t extend your life.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Wise Sister:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Heh heh. Besides, Ootsubaki spells can combat aging well enough already, so there’s no need to attempt something so risky.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Circle Be:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Ahhhhhhhh! So much for my plans to use some unofficial channels to get some more details on the Ten Spears!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Don’t think you can get away with betraying us just because you’re in Kantou!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;What now?&#039;&#039; wondered Naomasa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was also at a loss for words over this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She knew she could think up plenty to say given time, but it was all too sudden and Hachisuka must have been prepared for it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This wasn’t a future child. It was the future version of a familiar family member. That she had become younger was a weird twist on that, but…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What would you do if I ran from here?” she asked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Then I would give up on you and go help the others.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Then I should have just hidden down below and let the others deal with you.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You know you can’t.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Naomasa nodded at the voice coming from Genbu’s loudspeaker.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yeah, I can’t. That’s true.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After hearing all this, she had to go and check.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The two of them had met before all this happened.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Suzaku.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That word brought motion behind her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wind blew as a canopy draped over the center of the deck rose up. The rainproof canvas had hidden what lay below from the Azuchi, but now that something stood up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Suzaku?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hachisuka’s confusion was understandable. During yesterday’s battle at Kyou, Suzaku’s limbs had been mostly destroyed, as had its flight device. But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The Musashi was carrying various parts to lighten it, remember? Some of those were carried away by the engine room and maintenance department, but most of them were too much trouble to carry away. So, well, we decided to share the more bulky ones and use them up in this battle.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The canopy was stripped away from within and discarded, revealing Suzaku.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But its shape had changed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We had some spare parts for Suzaku, but where we didn’t, we swapped in leftover parts for the Satomi President’s Righteousness.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Namely, the limbs and the flight device. Because the design was based on theirs, the engine room team had made some last-minute adjustments to make them fit. But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Suzaku appears to be moving without difficulty.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That settled it. She had Suzaku reach out a hand and pick her up. The rest was simple.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Let’s decide for ourselves whether or not this will work, Yu.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She spoke from Suzaku’s shoulder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Let’s go, Jizuri Suzaku!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kiyomasa raced through the air and heard a striking reverberation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She recognized the sound. She had heard it countless times during the Siege of Bitchu Takamatsu Castle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hachisuka-sama has begun fighting then.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Battle had begun in many different locations across the Musashi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The clash between the Hashiba warriors and Musashi warriors had already begun, but now the Ten Spears (minus Katagiri who was still aboard the Azuchi) had begun battling their wanted opponents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kiyomasa among them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Now, then.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was on what could be called the starboard main street of the Musashi’s third port ship. Pieces of the city had been purged and she faced her future parents on the deck at the edge of one such gap.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They had briefly clashed and escaped a few times already, but she refused to let them go.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her opponents had to be the same. After learning of her situation, they couldn’t possibly just leave her, could they?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Mary-dono!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ninja picked up her mother and began to flee.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;You’re still doing that!?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kiyomasa reflexively raised the corners of her mouth in a weird smile, but could humans not control themselves when their anger peaked?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She launched one Caledfwlch and used the acceleration of the other to circle ahead of them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You will not get away!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was Tenzou’s first time being targeted by a thrown divine weapon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Y-you can throw them!?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Actually, Ex. Collbrande is always flying around and returning to us, but that doesn’t count. Does this just show how skilled our daughter is at using Excalibur?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But she had clearly changed her attitude from before.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before, she would pursue and then clash with them, but now…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“There!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
More than just use Caledfwlch’s acceleration to get ahead of them, she also moved to stop their escape.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The thrown Caledfwlch had stabbed into the deck and it was easy enough to jump over. In his arms, Mary was accustomed enough to this much movement to fix his slipping scarf.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Oh, this is going well!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A moment later, Kiyomasa launched an attack toward his face from where she had flown ahead of him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She didn’t hesitate or hold back in the slightest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Gold Mar:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Oof, I think that family argument just drew blood.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Art-Ga:&#039;&#039;&#039; “What kind of father is that hated by his daughter?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Asama:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Tenzou-kun, did you try to show off and do something that got your family cursed for seven generations?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;10ZO:&#039;&#039;&#039; “You would normally have a point, but this time it wasn’t my fault.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;She is quite skilled at swordplay!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tenzou’s senses and memory told him she used Mary’s style.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was earnest, accurate, and precise.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She quickly pulled the one Caledfwlch from the floor to wield one in each hand, but without a moment’s pause, she swung them toward him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;She’s fast!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to her mobile shell.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caledfwlch was providing instantaneous bursts of acceleration, but her mobile shell’s power assistance supported her lower body and allowed her to wield her swords with greater accuracy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This made sense to him because of Ex. Collbrande.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If Mary were to wield both halves of the split Excalibur at once, she would likely gain a style just like Kiyomasa’s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That meant, in Kiyomasa’s world, Mary must have split Ex. Collbrande in two and wielded it like that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In that case…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“––––––”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I must not have been with the Mary-dono she looks up to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Uqui:&#039;&#039;&#039; “I just had a thought. Tenzou, would your position here be better if you failed your love confession and got cut down by the Fairy Queen instead of dying in the final battle?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Silver Wolf:&#039;&#039;&#039; “But then he couldn’t have had a child. …No, wait. In the future, they only need a single hair for that. Yes, maybe that would have been better.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Me:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Isn’t that great, Tenzou? You can die at any time and still have a kid. No need to save your game now!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;10ZO:&#039;&#039;&#039; “That would actually mean Mary-dono already adored me by the time my confession came along, so that’s not so bad! Also, I have the text set to never skip Mary-dono’s dialogue and to always skip any dialogue by nudists and other weirdos!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Horizey:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Okay, Asama-sama. Add a note in the official records that Tenzou-sama was cut down during the England arc.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Asama:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Tenzou-kun, why do you like this kind of self-abuse so much?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;10ZO:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Is today ‘attack Tenzou over and over and over’ day!? It must be!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kiyomasa realized her attacks were missing the ninja.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No. It wasn’t that they were missing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;They aren’t reaching him!?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He knew the exact range of her attacks. The power assistance of her mobile shell didn’t actually extend her arm’s reach, so when she took a step forward to attack, she could only extend herself so far.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He had realized the length of her body like that was the range of her attacks. Which meant…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;He knows mother’s sword style!?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had heard her mother only began using two swords after the final battle. So this style should have been unknown to him, but…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Why!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She couldn’t reach him. Even though the ninja was staying low and keeping his back to her so her mother wouldn’t be caught in the middle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was making a fool of her, but it also hurt seeing her mother occasionally looking at her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was worrying the exact person she didn’t want to worry. And all because of…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She launched an attack that was only possible with Caledfwlch. Unlike Ex. Collbrande and Caliburn, Caledfwlch was spear shaped. So its greatest attack that hadn’t been taught to her by her mother was…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;The jab!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She didn’t just send it forward. That was no different from jabbing with a long sword. To make use of its greater reach without sacrificing speed, she rotated the two blades back from the sides, linked Caledfwlch together to restore it to a single weapon, and…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;The thruster!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She used the thruster rather than her own strength to launch Caledfwlch even as she swung it forward.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She aimed at the fleeing ninja’s back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The blade raced through the air to grant her wish.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“She’s not joking around!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tenzou felt a chill from Kiyomasa’s attack. After all, she was focusing all her power into the attack, so…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;If I do dodge this, she won’t have any way of recovering it, will she!?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maybe she would force it back toward her with the mobile shell’s strength.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But her attack and aim were devastatingly bad news. Targeting the center of his back meant he wouldn’t be able to fully avoid it in one direction. And with Mary in his arms, his back would be the last part of him to move. And to make matter worse…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;It’s fast!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The thruster-powered attack was not reliant on Mary’s sword style.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When wielding a spear, one usually gripped the shaft near the middle. When using it all the way back toward the butt, the attack was a lot more like an artillery shot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just as he wondered about this case, he saw a silver light.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A counterattack had been launched past his shoulder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A solid clang rang out and sparks scattered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From Kiyomasa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She looked to Caledfwlch’s tip with her right hand still holding its butt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She saw a wall there. The silver barrier was decorated with gold.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was Ex. Collbrande.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The original holy sword had stabbed into the deck to block Caledfwlch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That wasn’t all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her mother, in Far Eastern uniform and with her braided blonde hair swept back, stood there with her hand on Ex. Collbrande’s hilt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the ninja behind her, she slowly pulled Ex. Collbrande from the deck.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caledfwlch tilted and began to fall, so Kiyomasa hurriedly grabbed its shaft and pulled it back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And looking to her mother…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Oh.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her mother was looking to her with eyebrows slightly raised.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Straight at her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her mother had always told her to look people in the eye. She had obeyed that rule, but her mother’s gaze now was just too strong.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Look at me,” her mother said coldly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her mother must have realized how reluctant she was.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Next, her mother breathed in. She shut her eyes gently, nodded once, and lightly gripped the holy sword in her right hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Now listen.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tenzou heard Mary scold Kiyomasa while holding and waving Ex. Collbrande like it was a spatula.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“How can you do that to your own father!? You shouldn’t be swinging that dangerous thing around!! What if either of you got hurt!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Gold Mar:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Sorry, I actually nearly fell off of Schwarz Fräulein there.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Art-Ga:&#039;&#039;&#039; “D-dammit, why am I stuck fighting for air superiority here!? There’s something way more important happening right now!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Musashino:&#039;&#039;&#039; “I am sorry, Naruze-sama, but you can focus on that more important thing later, so please focus on air superiority at the moment. Over.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;10ZO:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Anyway, I feel like Mary-dono is getting ahead of herself.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Wise Sister:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Heh heh heh. Isn’t Mary swinging around something dangerous too?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tenzou was yet again moved by his wife’s tolerance, or her guts, as well as her humanity and broad-mindedness, but Kiyomasa scared him a little.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;What if this angers her enough to give her a power boost?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just in case, he prepared himself to snatch Mary up and make a run for it at a moment’s notice. He decided running past Kiyomasa would be safer than trying to run backwards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Why?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kiyomasa pulled Caledfwlch back and looked to Mary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the same time, tears filled her eyes and spilled out all at once.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Why do you always, always take his side!? Even in the end, all you left was your letter and that hat!” she said. “Mother, don’t you get that he made you unhappy!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Yes, that’s true.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tenzou agreed with Kiyomasa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He couldn’t blame anyone for saying he had done that to Mary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even a child could tell by looking at them. But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“–––––”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kiyomasa crouched down. She split Caledfwlch, swung her head down to throw the tears away, and opened her mouth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“And that is why I will stop you!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With that shout, she charged in with the power of her mobile shell.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I will stop them,&#039;&#039; thought Kiyomasa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her frustration and anger had gotten the better of her and she had let those unsightly emotions show, but she sensed that this was good enough.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If her tears weren’t enough to get through to her, then this version of her mother was not yet her mother.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If she didn’t convince herself of that, her emotions would continue to weigh her down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She told herself they could reach an understanding after she had dealt with this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;I’m sorry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In her mind, she bowed to the mother before her eyes and the mother in her memories.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She lowered herself in reality too, but here it was to prepare to move. However…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After sending a rising strike to the left, she launched an attack toward the ninja.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tenzou predicted Kiyomasa’s attack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;A jab!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Their previous exchange must have shown her that Mary’s sword style wouldn’t work on him. So now she would attack using Caledfwlch as a spear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She did. And it was a rising attack targeting his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The stabbing strike was more straight than sharp and, oddly, he sensed Mary in it. If she did have a style, Kiyomasa’s swordplay must have incorporated Mary’s movements into every one of her own movements.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;If I am killed, I hope it will be with this sort of swordplay.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He felt like he could kind of accept it then, but maybe that was a dangerous line of thinking.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But just as he leaned back to dodge the single-bladed jab…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Toh.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He used his backwards leaning motion to perform a compact back flip.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because a Caledfwlch blade rotated in from the left.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She attacked with both hands at once.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Well done!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His praise was for the timing, not that it was a combo attack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ordinarily, even if people attacked with both hands at once, few could manage it simultaneously. They would order them as two consecutive actions and use that to drive the enemy to one side or the other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But not so with Kiyomasa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She launched a rising and falling attack simultaneously to cut off all path of escape.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Both attacks were serious. Neither was a diversion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If he ducked or escaped to the sides, he would have his feet sliced out from under him before he made it far.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was why he moved to dodge the higher attack and then back flipped over the lower attack..&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just jumping up wouldn’t have been enough. In its single-bladed form, Caledfwlch was a half-sickle spear, so…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By twisting the blade as she jabbed it, the sickle portion raced toward him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The tip of his hat was sliced diagonally off.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;She has so much control!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Me:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Tenzou’s true form took major damage!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Horizey:&#039;&#039;&#039; “It would be truly horrific if the severed part of the hat started hemorrhaging blood.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Wise Sister:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Heh heh. Asama, you need to check your sign frame. That family squabble is getting wild.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Asama:&#039;&#039;&#039; “I-I’m a little busy with my own nerve-wracking confrontation with my future family!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tenzou was certain his awful classmates were saying something about this, but he focused on evasion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Can I get by with only avoiding her attacks!?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just as he thought that, a view of both half-sickle spears pulling simultaneously toward the center arrived in the center of his vision.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kiyomasa had pulled back both Caledfwlch blades while moving herself below them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The precise action was not due to her mobile shell’s control. It was due to her sword technique. But Tenzou gasped at the motion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Oh, no!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He had predicted the jab, but he hadn’t predicted her raising the blades overhead as she pulled them back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the tip of the pulling blades was directed toward his face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The center of his vision was obscured by the spear blades.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kiyomasa vanished behind the blades.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The power came a moment later.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kiyomasa ducked below Caledfwlch and charged toward him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kiyomasa trusted her mobile shell.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The autonomous shoulder armor and arm support system had been damaged and worn down during her battle with Niwa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But the legs were a different story.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They were worn down, but later maintenance ensured they would operate and they had been “worn in” by the battle with Niwa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The legs didn’t catch and they didn’t produce any noise as she moved them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Full power mobility!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was facing a ninja.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was a mobile shell samurai.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a direct clash, her power assisted movement couldn’t keep up with his nimble speed. But what if she obscured his view and rushed in when he didn’t expect it?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The answer was before her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ninja was trying to fall back as she targeted his gut with…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My left shoulder armor!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She swung her left arm and its armor with the power of the mobile shell’s arm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was a shield attack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She felt the impact as soon as she launched the attack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had hit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With a sound of impact, the shield arm joint’s anti-shock mechanism roared and the ninja flew to her right.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Master Tenzou!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kiyomasa remained calm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;This isn’t over yet!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As soon as her mother pursued the ninja toward the inner edge of the ship, Kiyomasa pulled her right arm back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her right index and middle fingers grabbed the blade tip of the Caledfwlch she had pulled back and released. She used the arm’s power assistance to stop the long spear’s momentum and pull it toward her instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Caledfwlch raced past her right side, she caught it below her right arm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was approximately twenty meters from the ninja she had launched away. He had fallen onto his back and was trying to get back up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was Musashi’s 1st Special Duty Officer after all. A blow like that wasn’t enough to keep him down. So…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Finish this, Caledfwlch!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She shouted and launched the shining attack straight ahead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mary made the mental switch to allow herself an instantaneous decision.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just like she had when she chose to cut down the three hundred.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When she was prepared to accept anything that might come at her, she could make any decision.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recalling her past resolve, she made her move.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She launched Ex. Collbrande’s shining attack on an individual. The Master Tenzou Love Love Home Run would take too long. She did need Master Tenzou Love right now, but as a single precise blast, not a broad swing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“A penetration!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She would send a stabbing blow toward Caledfwlch as a counterattack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She stepped forward as she turned around and, while raising her full body…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“–––”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She attacked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Azuchi” read the air currents above Osaka Bay and chose a route alongside the Musashi’s northward one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The sea was below. The ships were more free to maneuver than when there had been land below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, it was the Musashi that benefited from that freedom. It was only a further disadvantage for the Azuchi, in addition to its 90-degree tilt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Should we secure the Musashi with towing belts?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This would be a lot easier if they grabbed a hold and refused to let go. But when the Musashi tried to break free, keeping the towing belts secure would consume more energy than usual and, if the towing belts snapped, it would hinder any later maneuvering.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While noting that their plan was no different from having no plan, a light entered her field of vision.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before “Azuchi” could wonder what it was, Hirano frowned.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Kiyomasa’s Caledfwlch and her mother’s Ex. Collbrande just blasted each other!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Which one will win? Shaja!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Well,” said Hirano. “You can see for yourself.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Yes, the answer is visible,&#039;&#039; confirmed Hirano.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The massive light that burst on the battlefield had frozen the atmosphere across all the fighting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before, the sky had echoed with the booming of artillery, the crashing of defense barriers, and so many other sounds. Those sounds had come from people walking and moving, the clanking of their gear, and the operation of their weaponry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But now all sounds atop the Musashi and the Azuchi had vanished, save for those made by the bridges and fire control.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caledfwlch and Ex. Collbrande both had anti-city class destructive force. When their attacks clashed and burst, which one would emerge victorious?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They looked to see.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Everyone turned in that direction, those in elevated positions could see more quickly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The top of the Azuchi’s bridge was the best and closest location to see, except possibly for those atop the port side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The shattered light faded away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first thing Hirano noticed was that the inner side deck of the Musashi’s rear port ship had had its surface stripped away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;By the blast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was some noise in a few places, but the holes in the deck left by the purged sections were filling in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With light.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Two figures could be seen on the split field lit by defense barriers and the dance of lingering light.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One figure was standing, the other had fallen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So that’s the result,” Hirano said without thinking.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She looked to the pair of figures. The standing one was…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Kiyomasa…that is your mother.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And about 15 meters in front of her, the white mobile shell lay fallen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was Kiyomasa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She wasn’t moving.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Azuchi” quickly used the Azuchi’s sight devices to check on Kiyomasa’s condition.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;She is…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Azuchi” realized Kiyomasa was moving. She was trembling and breathing heavily, but she was trying to get back on her feet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She no longer held Caledfwlch. Meanwhile, the English princess held Excalibur at the ready.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Which meant…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I have determined Kiyomasa-sama is at risk! Someone assist her! Shaja!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If Mitsunari were here, she could have used a Logismoi Oplo. But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;848:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Ahh! Sorry! I’m currently arranging a transport ship for Sakon-sama!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was supposed to be the one in charge, so why was she performing an assistant’s job?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But “Azuchi” heard an unexpected voice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From Hirano. She nodded once and spoke.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Stand up, Kiyomasa,” she said. “If you do, you win.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mary saw what had happened.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;I…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The rupturing of the two Excaliburs’ power had thrown Kiyomasa around a dozen meters away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mary honestly felt bad. She knew the girl adored her as an imperfect mother.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So she had held back as much as possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had targeted Caledfwlch instead of Kiyomasa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had fired Ex. Collbrande at the same time as Kiyomasa’s attack. She had assumed Kiyomasa would also aim straight ahead. Because she couldn’t have launched a counterattack like this without making an assumption.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kiyomasa had done exactly that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So Mary had sent out a Master Tenzou Love Love Thrust as a counterattack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The two powers had collided, but hers had won out. She didn’t know why, but it had felt like Kiyomasa’s had been “hollow”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a result, the blast had gone Kiyomasa’s way, knocking her down, while Mary remained untouched. However…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kiyomasa also looked unharmed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The blast had hit her and thrown her through the air, but her body and gear were neither injured nor damaged. She must have been hit so suddenly her gear couldn’t adjust in time and her body had been shocked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Good,&#039;&#039; thought Mary even as a question occurred to her: would she have been so unharmed if she took an attack like that?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, she would be able to endure it. Because of…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ex. Collbrande.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It would protect her as a divine weapon. It was that sort of blade. But what about with Kiyomasa?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before she could explore that thought further, she saw something come into view as the lingering light between them cleared.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Something had fallen above and in front of Kiyomasa while slowly rotating.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mary knew what it was.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ex. Collbrande produced a tone of resonance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Caledfwlch.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The spear Mary thought she had shot was floating upright as if to protect Kiyomasa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Caledfwlch…?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kiyomasa looked to it as she got up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;What happened?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caledfwlch had always been no more than a weapon. It was known as a divine weapon, but it had never shown any sign of having a will of its own and it had never moved autonomously.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That had been true since it was created.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Ex. Collbrande and Caliburn were combined, she was told their minds had been mixed together, eliminating all &#039;&#039;such things&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But that hadn’t been a functional problem. It could still be used as a thruster and launch attacks of light. In fact, she had been told it gathered power for those attacks faster than Ex. Collbrande had, which had felt like an advantage to her here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, that attack had lost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caledfwlch had fired second, even though it was a combination of Ex. Collbrande and Caliburn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But she did understand why she had lost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ex. Collbrande was acting autonomously as a divine weapon to protect her mother and the other one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her Caledfwlch wasn’t like that. It was only a weapon. So when the two clashed, Caledfwlch’s simple release of power couldn’t stand up to the power of a blade with a mind of its own.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or so she thought. However…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Caledfwlch…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The weapon created as Ex. Caledfwlch floated in front of her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It had stood up to protect her of its own will. So…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She took it without hesitation. She grasped it in both hands and…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Kh!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its power flowed back into her as light and sent flowers scattering.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kiyomasa tingled.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All her senses and her full body could no longer be removed from Caledfwlch’s hilt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She felt pride that England’s guardian sword – the blade that protected her mother – had accepted her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;How did this happen?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It came down to Ex. Collbrande. Her mother’s attack must have awoken Caledfwlch. No, Caledfwlch must have been awake ever since it was created.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It simply hadn’t accepted her as its master.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But her mother had Ex. Collbrande.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And she too was trying to protect her mother.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ex. Collbrande’s attack must have conveyed that to Caledfwlch just now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caledfwlch would remain silent no more. If her mother was being protected by Ex. Collbrande in this world, then, as the third Excalibur, Caledfwlch would protect her mother and England in a different way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So for Caledfwlch, that exchange of attacks had been a parting with its past form and duty.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The holy sword had now accepted her as its master and…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We now share the same goals, my sword!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
White flowers in full bloom scattered from her hair to cover the area and rattled her mobile shell. A tingling as if from a glowing electric attack shook her arms and the rest of her too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ex. Caledfwlch!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Let’s do this,&#039;&#039; she thought. She took a deep breath, twirled Ex. Caledfwlch overhead in both hands, and stopped it ahead of her before raising her voice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Please finish this! My holy sword!”&lt;br /&gt;

===Part 2===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After school, the detective and the online shrine maiden held a conversation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We have a job related to a Malign Spirit.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Go on.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The client is the manager of a factory on the manufacturing float along the city’s outer curve. Are you familiar with First Icemakers?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Aren’t they the biggest name in the ice and ice cream industry? I doubt anyone in the tropical New Sea City doesn’t use their products. That said…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They were discussing a dangerous topic, but they weren’t in the usual(?) detective agency.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They were in a seaside restaurant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Which was also the gyaru sister and straitlaced sister’s home.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was of course on one of the many megafloats. The seashore and the sandy beach were entirely fabricated. Everything meant to remind one of the summer sea was. It was a real testament to human technology.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They were seated on the floor using rush mats which had to be there for anyone who was wet from the ocean. And they sat around a low table…maybe about the size of a tea table?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hisame Kouga, with his silky blond hair and his nice (but actually extremely cheap) suit, stared into the middle distance as he spoke.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The office’s rundown old air conditioner just had to die on us now, didn’t it?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This wouldn’t have happened if you had bought a new one. You were losing money on the power costs every single day you kept that thing.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You could have warned me before it came to this!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’ve been warning you every single day lately, but someone refused to listen.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And so they had evacuated elsewhere today. To the seaside restaurant. It was at least a better choice than making a noisy nuisance of themselves in the neighborhood library or museum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of course it was a grownup’s job to pick up the tab. And Hisame Kouga was the only grownup here!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Heh heh heh. Today, I’ll show you I’m the kind of gyaru who can cook.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Betsuzaki Rainy was happily working a pair of spatulas at the steel plate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a swimsuit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A gyaru cooking food in a bikini tied with a bow…may have been a draw for customers. Her usual sunglasses were hanging from the thin string linking to the bikini’s left and right chest. Was that meant to draw the eye to your cleavage, gyaru sister? Now that was a pro level technique!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before, she had been complaining about helping out at home, but she may have been the type to really get into something once she actually started. Which explained why her parents would yell at her to force her to take that first step.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Okay, okay. Order as much as you want! Yakisoba, takoyaki, okonomiyaki – I can make just about anything made with flour! Mister, you’ll support the local economy by spending big here, won’t you?☆”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The way she mixed in some chopped-up fish sausage and square croutons was the New Sea City style.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yahirodono Tsumugi sat politely at the table in her school uniform. As a shrine maiden, she could sit in the seiza-style for hours without her legs falling asleep, which was something only experience could bring.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Does you sister also cook in a swimsuit?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My flawless sister who’s preparing for her entrance exams, helps out at the school library, and frequently visits the TV station? No, she gets special treatment. Don’t you think parents should treat their kids equally? But our terrible parents are always forcing me and only me to work at our FtP house.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The detective suddenly froze in place with his eyes on something.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that something didn’t appear to the gyaru sister’s bikini cleavage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After grabbing a cold paper cup in both hands and taking a sip of melon soda through the thin straw while tilting her head, the online shrine maiden noticed it too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The menu posted on a nearby column included the prices.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Based on the paper pasted there, this M-size soda in a paper cup cost 800 yen and the yakisoba, which sounded cheap, was more than 1200 yen once a few toppings were added.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These were inflated tourist prices. The poor professional detective had failed to observe his surroundings when he arrived. Now, what was more economical, the price of an air conditioner during midsummer, or spending time at this seaside restaurant?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi stuck out her tongue a little.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Since the grownup said he’s paying, I don’t have to worry about that.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’ve already been betrayed, have I?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yet she knew he would insist he could cover it if she did say something. Even if she offered to pay for her own, he would have refused.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yuhi had been seated at the same table staying as quiet and unobtrusive as possible this whole time because this was her home yet he had bought her a Ramune and a small pancake. She was as straitlaced as a middle schooler could get, but she had realized her position here was a lot like a hostess being bought some wine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi pointed at something on the table.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What’s this?” she asked with a tilt of her head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hm?” said Rainy. “A prize for the Commerce and Industry Association campaign. You get one for every thousand yen you spend.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a cartoony hermit crab acrylic stand attached to a phone charger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was apparently compatible with Plasperia phones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’ll take one then.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Are you sure you want the hermit crab one? There’s a seal, a polar bear, a crab, a whale, and lots more. Eh, that cardboard box back there is crammed full of them, so pick out one you like. And given how much Kouga-san’s gonna be paying, feel free to take like a dozen of them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The usually dazzling detective actually shrank down and started trembling for once.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The online shrine maiden held the cheap acrylic stand charger in both hands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Thanks, but I like this one best.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was a form of selfishness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A little way for the shy girl to have her way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The straitlaced sister smiled gently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If that’s the one you like, then go ahead.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Well said, my sister.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But now it was time to get down to business.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The detective rejoined the conversation. Hisame Kouga could pull himself together when it came to work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“First Icemakers’ factory is open from 9 AM to 10 PM five days a week, but a worker went missing there at closing time one night. He punched his time card, but he never returned home and hasn’t been heard from since. Since he has no family at home, it’s hard to pinpoint exactly when he disappeared.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So this happened on his way home rather than inside the large factory? Yawwwn.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi accidentally let out a yawn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The detective’s briefings were necessary, but they tended to be stiff and lengthy. She ended up reaching up and stretching where she sat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Nhh.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hey, hey, hey! I’m the one wearing a bikini here so quit stealing my thunder without even meaning to! I’m talking about your chest!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Whoa, they really are huge,” whispered the straitlaced sister.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Only the detective maintained his usual unconcerned look.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yes, it happened on his way home. Maybe he disappeared, maybe there was an accident, and maybe he was abducted. There are plenty of possibilities, but I have found something of interest. The path the workers take when leaving the factory crosses the Otsugo Water Level Control Canal.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, I’ve heard of that. That’s the haunted Vanishing Canal that Chatty was going on about.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gyaru sister joined the conversation while serving them some thick and unhealthy-looking bacon (which no one had ordered).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Was Chatty still interested in haunted locations after her bad experience?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s a small seawater canal that flows below a big elevated street, but they say you should stay away from it at night. There are all sorts of rumors about bad things happening there. But Chatty said the scariest part is it isn’t clear what kind of bad things those are.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That allowed room for “positive imagination”, like that it was the work of a chainsaw-wielding maniac who could be stopped with a gunshot to the head or heart. Whether or not that would actually work, that thought would rid some people of their fear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There were only vague rumors about “bad things”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Someone had actually gone missing, but nothing could be done if the actual cause remained a mystery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These stories were common when it came to mysterious little shrines or jizo status that had their faces or names carved away and no one knew where they came from.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hisame Kouga nodded before placing a voice recorder on the small table.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was the detective’s secret weapon. He would switch off his phone to put someone at ease while actually recording it all from his pocket.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“A total of seven factory workers have already gone missing. Their fate is unknown. And while I haven’t confirmed it, I have heard that a few delivery drones have been seen crashing near the Vanishing Canal.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yuhi tilted her head while holding her Ramune bottle. (She must have felt it would be rude to not drink any of it at all.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That means electronics have been malfunctioning around a specific location.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Due to a Malign Spirit’s Groan?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The online shrine maiden frowned as a voice spoke from the recorder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was the deep voice of a middle-aged man.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Probably their client. She couldn’t see him, but she could tell how badly weakened he was.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This is happening outside the factory, but it happens when we get off work. The amount of worker’s comp they get depends on if they intentionally vanished or if something happened to them. I don’t know if they’re alive or dead, but even in the worst case, I want their families to get as much as they can get. This can’t just be written off as a mystery. I’m sorry, but will you get to the bottom of this?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The seven known victims are only the ones who worked for the factory,” explained the detective. “If people are vanishing due to a Malign Spirit, we can’t just ignore it. We can’t let even one more person fall victim to it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I know that.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi stabbed a thin metal spoon into a lavish serving of shaved ice with a scoop of ice cream on top. Yes, nothing was sweeter than a treat bought with someone else’s money.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I will settle this before it’s too late.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 3===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The station was nearby, so the three of them walked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gyaru sister spoke in the lazy afternoon with a police patrol drone flying by overhead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Is it true the government will pay you a fortune if a gust of wind sends one of those tumbling down onto your head? According to Chatty, it has to actually hit you.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I-I don’t like that kind of painful talk…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rainy was probably more enjoying the very act of talking then trying to convey any kind of information.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When she realized the trembling wharf roach shrine maiden wasn’t receptive to that topic, she immediately changed topics. With the speed of someone playing a falling block puzzle game.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So First Icemakers, huh!? They’re huge!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Do you buy a lot of their products for your restaurant?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yes, but that reminds me what Chatty was saying. Apparently there’s a way to tell which of the popsicles is a winner.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The online shrine maiden bought a fair number of those, so this was a decently interesting topic for her, but she doubted it had anything to do with the Vanishing Canal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They boarded a train to cross a few of the kilometers-long megafloats to arrive near the large First Icemakers factory near the outer edge. Tsumugi had already changed into her shrine maiden outfit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gyaru sister, who had won the right to take the only open seat in a game of rock-paper-scissors, kicked her legs and spoke.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, it’s already the next station. Mugikko, grab my bag for me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ugh,” groaned Tsumugi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why did Rainy have to put her bag in the rope shelf overhead?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi was so short she couldn’t reach it even when she stood up on her tiptoes and stretched. But she didn’t want to admit that out loud, so she leaned forward and tried to reach anyway.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Nhhh…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hold that pose. And…snap! Got a photo of those huge boobs☆”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Nyuwah!? Wh-wh-wh-why are you taking a picture!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Look how they’re looming over me. Wa ha ha! It’s like they’re popping out of the screen!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apparently Rainy didn’t care at all that Tsumugi was blushing, teary-eyed, and trembling.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She fanned her overheated face with a hand as they stepped out into the station.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They walked to the site from there. This area was on the outer edge of the city. A few cruise liners were visible in the distant ocean. The tourist population fluctuated based on the season and events, so when New Sea City didn’t have enough beds available, ships would be anchored out at sea to provide more. The tourists would travel to the city on mid-sized aquatic buses, but those only ran at certain times, which had to be inconvenient for the people staying on the ships.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The street was still brightly lit as the gyaru sister spoke.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hey, Mugikko. How’s the Shrine Restoration Project going?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Call it Shikinen Zotai.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What’s that?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“A system for Shinto shrines to be rebuilt every twenty years. There are less strict versions, like with larger shrines where it only applies to the main shrine that holds the shintai. But if they’re designed with a cycle of construction and destruction in mind, you would think they would have ways of building them cheaply…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In reality, typing out the cost on a cheap calculator would end up with a glitched(?) output.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If it’s that hard to raise the money on your own, wouldn’t it be faster to regain the shrine’s religious corporation status?” asked the straitlaced sister, sounding sorry. “Then the government would give you some kind of financial support, I think.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hm? My sister, what in the world is a religious corporation?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Shh.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The online shrine maiden motioned for the sisters to halt their conversation. Apparently the time for talking had ended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was in view.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The haunted Vanishing Canal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Otsugo Water Level Control Canal was actually a seawater canal running between two megafloats. It was long, but only about five meters wide. An elevated passage, likely for the railroad they had just been using, crossed it overhead. That might not sound like much, but it crossed between two floats that were constantly rocking in waves too small for people to even notice. Ensuring their heights matched had to involve precise sensors, adjustable bridge piers, and plenty more advanced tech.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The space below the elevated railway appeared to be a parking lot rather than some kind of shop. It was surrounded by a construction fence and soundproofing sheets and it looked like there were large trucks parked inside. There was a gap between two of the fences covered by soundproofing sheets. Peeking through there, they saw a prefab hut that may have served as the supervisor’s room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A quick glance around didn’t show any vases of flowers or pairs of shoes neatly placed side by side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi gave the whole scene another look.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The control canal is long…but this would be where a First Icemakers worker would cross it on the way home.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hmm, looks like a normal street to me. Is this place really haunted? It’s daytime and sunny.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gyaru sister’s carefree comment made the online shrine maiden sigh.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Have you still not figured out it’s dangerous to assume paranormal phenomena only occur at night? The sun doesn’t burn Malign Spirits or anything like that. You’re thinking of Western vampires.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Mhh.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If there was a Malign Spirit here, Tsumugi had to find it, but when she didn’t know what conditions led to the disappearances, it was safest to investigate while it was light out and she could see everything.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But can we really believe the stories about the Vanishing Canal?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Whaddya mean, my sister?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At Rainy’s prompting, the straitlaced sister held a hand to her chin and…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The factory’s time cards only record a time. It doesn’t actually tell you who punched it. So isn’t it possible the people disappeared before leaving the factory’s grounds and not on the way home afterwards? Looking at it that way, doesn’t the factory manager sound awfully suspicious?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I don’t think we need to worry about that,” said the online shrine maiden, waving her trifold phone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No signal. Which was highly unnatural on this collection of artificial megafloats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The sisters gasped in sync with each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If our phones are dead…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Th-then this is the place. One of those Malign Spirit things is making that ringing sound!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 4===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Back in the seaside restaurant, Hisame Kouga sat alone at the low table researching something on his laptop when a sexy adult woman began bringing him all sorts of things.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Here, have an iced coffee.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was the restaurant’s manager. In other words, the gyaru sister and straitlaced sister’s mother.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had a lot going on. How did she make a perfectly ordinary apron look so sinful? Apparently the sum of the gyaru sister and the straitlaced sister did not give you a normal person.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We also have waffles, pancakes, donuts, and fries. We’ve started focusing more on frying instead of just using the griddle.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I can’t eat all this.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Don’t worry, you don’t have to pay. It’s all on the house! Really, I should be giving you even more. Hee hee. As thanks for protecting those ultra complicated daughters of mine!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uh. oh. Now this was awkward in a very different way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wow, I this your work?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As soon as the dangerously sexy adult girl(?) left, a different girl entered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An elementary schooler. The landlord’s daughter, Hanagushi Temari.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Getting some work in outside the office? You grownups have it so easy. Oh, and if you are going to buy a new air conditioner for your office, make sure it uses the same hose size. If it ends up leaking, I will slap you.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For how much she complained, it didn’t take her long to take a seat on the detective’s lap.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just plopped on down there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But with the low table, she couldn’t fit her legs underneath very well and ended up squirming.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What the heck? Is this a hermit crab charging stand? That’s so lame. But I’d feel bad for the poor thing, so I maybe I should give it a home.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’m not giving it to you.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…Ohh? Fine, whatever.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Temari sensed something more to that flat refusal, which seemed to amuse her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Now, what is this poor slacker looking at?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The landlord’s daughter checked the laptop’s screen and sighed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apparently the concept of privacy was beyond her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yeah, you should be careful around the Otsugo Water Level Control Canal. That area is being managed.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a moment of thought, the detective caught on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His landlord’s family owned a lot of land and buildings across New Sea City. And now Temari said to be careful and that that area was being “managed”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Don’t tell me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ignoring his laptop, the detective snatched up his folding phone from the table, but he couldn’t get through using social media, ordinary email, or even a phone call.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The girls must have already entered a haunted location because he couldn’t reach Yahirodono Tsumugi’s phone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 5===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hey, Mugikko.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Stop getting so far ahead. This place is terrifying, so shouldn’t we be working together to make decisions?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…Is what happened at the Rending Pool still bothering you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Being bound to a child ghost and nearly killed couldn’t have been fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;In the real ghost industry&#039;&#039;, there was no room at all for feelings of pity when it came to a Malign Spirit of a headless child or something.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Detective Onii-sama Kouga-san said we’re your chance at survival if you end up passing out at a haunted location!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That won’t be happening, so it isn’t necessary.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They couldn’t find an entrance to the parking lot. The metal fence covered by soundproofing sheets surrounded it on all sides, but it was more like a sequence of fences with a set length. That meant there were larger gaps in places. It looked like they could slip through there and avoid having to climb over or do anything weird.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Mh.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The online shrine maiden turned to the side to slip through, but part of her still caught on the fence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her chest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…Curse these things.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Otsugo Water Level Control Canal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also known as the haunted Vanishing Canal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wow,” gasped Rainy when she got a good look.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This urban blind spot was located below the giant elevated railway. Rusty, abandoned cars arranged in rough lines, piles of unidentifiable scrap metal, and a single prefab hut. The nearby seawater canal was only 5m across, but it still provided a powerful salty smell. The smell was somehow rawer than a tourist beach.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So this is a haunted location where at least seven people have vanished,” muttered the online shrine maiden.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The sunlight combined with the elevated railway overhead created a harsh contrast between light and shadow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The shadows seemed almost solid, making the space below the railway seem all the more mysterious. It felt like a different world cut off from the ordinary city, as if it were surrounded by “keep out” tape.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Th-the vibes here are bad. The air feels so solid and heavy. Even though it’s still daytime…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If a place is haunted, the ghost will appear even in the bright summer sun. Like the Kunekune, or the many white hands extending from the sea.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The dazzlingly white light reflected off the ground and the thick dark shadow of the railway.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Domed security cameras were installed on the railway’s bridge piers, but they were cracked. Probably broken.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The parking lot appeared to be divided into a few different areas. More fences covered with soundproofing sheets cut through the inside too. There were no gaps there to slip through.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What would you do, Mugikko? If you were alone?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Tsumugi groaned, the gyaru sister placed her hands behind her head and grinned.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Muh hee hee. Now do you see why having a team is important? Okay, Yuhi. Does that area have a different exit? Or does the fence open somewhere?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Let me see. Hmm.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yuhi, who apparently frequently visited the TV station, nodded a few times.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No barbed wire on top, so if we could… Hey, Onee-chan, push that wooden crate over.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Eh? Why me, Yuhi?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’ve seen the prop people doing this. Are you going to make Yahirodono-san do all the work?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Oh, so she already assumes I’m doing it,&#039;&#039; sighed the online shrine maiden even as she obeyed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By pushing and stacking the crates according to the straitlaced sister’s instructions, they ended up with a three-step staircase which looked sufficient to clear the tall fence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They jumped down on the other side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The online shrine maiden looked back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“How do we get back?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We can just stack something else.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was also a parking lot, but the vehicles here were different. They were all shiny black luxury cars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Hm? Why would these be out here in the salty sea air?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Dwah!? What’s that huge bug on the sideview mirror!? I-it’s the size of my palm! Is that a paranormal phenomenon!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Onee-chan… That jumbo dragonfly is fake. Have you never seen a bug repelling product before?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Setting it up in such a conspicuous spot seemed like a lot of trouble. There were also some reflective cards suspended by strings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
People had disappeared. Several of them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That knowledge made the prefab hut look creepy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, god. Another fence with soundproofing sheets?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why divide the space up so much? And there didn’t seem to be any crates or tires to push and stack here…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Climbing over would be tough in that shrine maiden outfit, wouldn’t it? It has a lot of loose cloth and it looks big and heavy.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ghh…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Okay, that’s enough of that. Onee-chan, can you handle it?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
‘Sure thing.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With a short approach run, the gyaru sister planted her shoes on the middle of the building wall and grabbed onto the base used to hold the air conditioning unit on the roof. In a flash, she had climbed to the top of the prefab hut. Was this more of her taking advantage of obstacles like in climbing and skateboarding? She easily made it up the height of three meters. Soon a yellow and black rope, which she must tied on somewhere, dangled down. The hut was located alongside the fence, so they could jump to the other side from the roof.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In theory anyway?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“O-Onee-chan, you grab Yahirodono-san’s hand and pull her up… I’ll push up on her butt from down here.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No fair, Yuhi! I want your job!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The online shrine maiden’s face rapidly heated up, but she had no choice but to go along with it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi fought deadly Malign Spirits all the time. She was confident in her ability to move around in the horizontal direction, but she was a master of the Japanese-style shuffle. She wasn’t used to moving much in the vertical direction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Really, how was she supposed to climb straight up with only a thin rope!?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Teamwork, Yahirodono-san, teamwork. Mgh.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Is it just me or are you two trying to humiliate me?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, all three of them dropped down on the other side of the fence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The atmosphere had changed. Growing heavy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Um…we’re pretty far in, aren’t we?” whispered the straitlaced sister. She may have been anxious.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi looked around and let Yuhi handle yet another fence up ahead. The chain-link door had a lock, but the straitlaced sister picked up a permanent marker someone had dropped nearby and, stuck it through the chain link, and pushed on the knob on the other side of the door.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Through there, they found large trucks and windowless work vans.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Th-this is the Vanishing Canal. We know there’s something going on here. Let’s take a look around. The missing factory workers might still be ali-”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rainy stopped mid-sentence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because she heard a muddy &#039;&#039;splash&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was too viscous and heavy to be a wave.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wooden pallets for forklifts were stacked up near a large truck and they all chose to hide behind them. The sisters stood up on their toes to peer over the top, but the online shrine maiden had to peek out from the side. She couldn’t stretch high enough to see over the refrigerator-sized stack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Something was there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No, someone. Not a Malign Spirit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“(People?)”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some men had their backs to the girls. They were all large, but they didn’t look like a parking lot supervisor or cleaner. Maybe it was sweat, but the backs of their white dress shirts were wet enough for the Japanese-style tattoos below to show through. And the muscular men had rolled something heavy from the back of a truck before lowering it to the ground and dropping it into the 5m-wide canal. Hence the &#039;&#039;splash&#039;&#039;. It was a metal drum. Since it didn’t float back up, it must have been filled with heavy concrete or plastic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gyaru sister nearly cried out, but the straitlaced sister reached from behind and covered her mouth with a hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What…is that?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But Yuhi still asked a trembling question. Her tone suggested she already had a very good guess and was desperately hoping to be told she was wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Were these men simply dumping a metal drum?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of course not.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I thought this was a haunted location where a Malign Spirit’s Groan keeps phones from working. I thought it was a ghost making people disappear.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“There are other explanations.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
People walking by the Vanishing Canal kept going missing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Delivery drones frequently crashed in the area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The online shrine maiden’s trifold phone had unnaturally lost its signal here, but…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This was my mistake. I should have examined it more carefully. A Malign Spirit’s Groan isn’t the only way to keep a phone from receiving a signal. You can find jammers for use in conference rooms in the office section of any electronics store, or someone could physically break the antenna for the closest tower.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The security cameras on the elevated railway’s bridge piers had been destroyed too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Physically, not by the Groan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also, the adjustable bridge piers were still functioning since the bridge above hadn’t collapsed. The adjustments were being made.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wait a second, Mugikko. Are you saying…?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Haunted locations with unpleasant rumors might look like abandoned ruins at first glance, but it’s not uncommon for them to be private property. Or to have been confiscated to pay off an outstanding debt.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the Vanishing Canal was a parking lot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As creepy as it was, someone likely did own it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Businesses tend to fail in deserted areas. And property taken by criminal groups will be patrolled and guarded by members of the group. Sometimes people will jump the fence or break the lock on the door as a test of courage and get into trouble for it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Criminal groups…hold on, shrine maiden. Wait, wait, wait, wait. You must be joking. You don’t mean…?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That is exactly what I mean.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi was sweating now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She wanted to call the detective right away. No, she was willing to skip that step and call the police. But her phone wasn’t working. To an unnatural extent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was something here the criminal group wanted very much to keep hidden.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like that metal drum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It had looked just the right size to fit a human if their limbs were folded up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The people passing by here late at night must have seen something. Something worth intentionally jamming communications to prevent it from being reported or streamed. So once those people were noticed and caught, they were eliminated using the same cover-up infrastructure.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No, it didn’t even matter if the victims had actually seen anything.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maybe they had simply been looking at their phone as they walked by. Even if the passerby hadn’t noticed what was happening, the criminals might suspect they had snapped an incriminating photo. And they might launch a preemptive attack before the passerby left the jamming area and their photo could be backed up to the cloud or posted online.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Daytime wasn’t necessarily safe either, but maybe the First Icemakers employees kept vanishing on the way home at night because their phone’s backlight lit up their face in the darkness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The true identity of the Vanishing Canal was obvious now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Otsugo Water Level Control Canal was a gap between two neighboring megafloats. And New Sea City floated atop the ocean more than 500 kilometers south of Tokyo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This wasn’t an ordinary seawater canal. It might look like a small river, but it had a true depth of thousands of meters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Sea City was home to all sorts of leisure, including cutting-edge drone shows and amphibious aquamobiles, but this was why diving was generally forbidden.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would happen if a metal drum packed full of heavy concrete or plastic were dumped into the sea like this?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It would never surface again. No one would ever find it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Moving now could give away their presence. Ducking behind cover, the online shrine maiden muttered bitterly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This is a yakuza body dumping site.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 6===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The luxurious residential area was perhaps the nicest in the city.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The entire megafloat was intentionally given a limited number of entrances and there were guards posted on either end of the bridges.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The largest of the properties there contained a Japanese-style estate that looked like an antique. Of course, that was all an illusion. New Sea City was only three years old.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a waiting room of more than thirty square meters, men in black suits were speaking in hushed voices.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Is the boss still busy with his hobby? But the paperwork is piling up.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Sh. You know how unmanageable he is if you interrupt his hobby.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“His love of collecting 16mm films is on another level.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Do you want to end up stuffed in a drum like that secretary who decided the message couldn’t wait?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the other side of a thick soundproof wall and a locked door was a home theater.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In there, a man had slipped out of his leather chair.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hisame Kouga stood in the windowless home theater. The detective precisely operated the handgun he had collected from the floor, loading the first round and aiming it at the large man’s face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He made the motion look natural.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Both his hands were covered by gloves despite the midsummer heat. A pro would understand exactly what that meant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“W-wait…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No. I want to keep this quick. There isn’t a moment to spare.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I never would have done a thing if I knew a &#039;&#039;monster&#039;&#039; like you was involved! Surely you know that!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The large man trembled as he reached for the landline phone, but he wasn’t going to call his troops into the windowless home theater. He could if he wanted, but that would only mean more dead bodies to dispose of at the end of the day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s me. I have a question about the Otsugo Water Level Control Canal matter. What’s going on there right now!? Listen, if you find anyone there, do not touch them. You hear me, do not!! Hey…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apparently something wasn’t right. The yakuza boss shouted angrily into the receiver a few more times.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Until he heard a metal click.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The click of the detective’s thumb raising the handgun’s hammer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Trouble?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The boss was trembling.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And dripping with sweat. Anyone could tell he was in no position to play games.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Which could only mean…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Something really has gone wrong?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I-it wasn’t me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Something’s happened. We’ve lost control of the site!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 7===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flames gulped down oxygen with a deafening roar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, flames.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The muscular man who had been standing next to the metal drum (presumably filled with a dead body) had burst into scarlet flame. His flailing arms weren’t the result of the heat or the pain. His eyes had boiled, leaving him suddenly blind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few more of the surprised men spontaneously combusted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These people were dying.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It happened so suddenly the girls seemed to forget to scream.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hey…Mugikko, is this some kind of trick too?” asked the gyaru sister, pale and curled up behind cover, not daring to move.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hee……..hee&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::::Hee &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:125%&amp;quot;&amp;gt;hee&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;…………&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:75%&amp;quot;&amp;gt;hee&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:125%&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Hee hee hee…&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They heard laughter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The hellfire produced female breaths expressing incongruous joy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This wasn’t like the other burning people.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This one person was clearly enjoying it. Her body shook with joyous laughter. She didn’t seem to feel any heat or pain from the fire. She looked like a long-haired woman in burial clothes. But, while the flames made it hard to tell, a closer look showed her head was extremely long. Vertically. And her waist was twisted all the way around, making the term “hourglass figure” a little too real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She held a metal object over a meter long in her right hand, but it probably wasn’t a sword or club. It was thinner than an arrow. When heated red by fire, the tool made of two pieces was more reminiscent of something else.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of red-hot metal fire tongs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Is that…a Malign Spirit?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The straitlaced sister sounded dazed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She didn’t see this as salvation. Even now, the large men were engulfed in flame and, unable to bear the pain, throwing themselves into the canal. Even though they had to know applying seawater to serious full-body burns would mean death by shock.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A faint, ever so faint, ringing flickered in and out of hearing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The Groan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hold on. So the Vanishing Canal case wasn’t just a trick set up by the yakuza, Yahirodono-san!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yuhi screamed right into the online shrine maiden’s ear, but she didn’t respond. She was frozen while staring wide-eyed at that thing. She was sweating profusely and unable to control her breathing. Even she could tell her heart was hammering wildly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The memory came rushing back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It appeared in Yahirodono Tsumugi’s mind in brutal vividness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The cause of it all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The one she was trying to track down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The giant shrine burning down in real time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The priest and shrine maidens seeking help and flailing their limbs but failing to escape and being scorched black.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The torii roaring with fire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the figure standing calmly below it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The online shrine maiden tore herself away from the flashback and shouted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’ve finally found you… The worst and most heinous Quadruple Dread Star: &#039;&#039;Hibashi-sama&#039;&#039;!!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 8===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Tear a murderer into eight pieces and squeeze their lifeblood into a container.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Prepare a pair of rusty metal fire tongs by soaking them in the container until colored black.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. Heat the blackened fire tongs in fire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Use the red-hot fire tongs while burning yourself to remove or knock down the nameplate on your target’s house.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. During the ritual, you must not be seen by anyone or drop the red-hot fire tongs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This ritual will eradicate an entire clan to their most distant relative, burning them with fire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is a calamity based in wisdom and the most hideous of attacks from which none can escape.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is known as the Secret Ritual of the Deepest Hibashi-sama.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 9===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Betsuzaki Rainy was trembling behind cover.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Something was happening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In this bizarre situation, she could hear living human beings being cooked like fried chicken.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That Hibashi-sama(?) woman enveloped in fire was strange. And not just compared to living humans. There was something different about her compared to the Malign Spirits that Rainy had seen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In that hell of fire, heat, and death, the gyaru sister asked the online shrine maiden a question.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wh-wh-wh-wh-what do we do? C’mon, Mugikko, pull out your lighter and-”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She trailed off.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After taking a powerful step forward, the online shrine maiden staggered backwards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Malign Spirit was melting the asphalt by her mere presence. The many embers erupting from her body rode the wind down to the seawater canal, where they instantly boiled the water’s surface, causing it to erupt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi went limp and stopped moving.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A tremendous wall of noise rattled the sisters’ eardrums.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“A steam explosion!?” shouted the straitlaced sister.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Had Tsumugi protected the sisters from the shockwave, knocking herself out in the process?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This wasn’t good.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They were helpless without their expert.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Anyway!! Yuhi, we need to get out! Let’s take Mugikko with us and escape!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“O-okay, Onee-chan!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They wanted to leave, but they couldn’t take a straight line.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If Hibashi-sama saw them and they drew her attention, their fate was sealed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The parking lot was surrounded by tall fences and thick soundproofing sheets. A few young yakuza members tried climb over the fences, but the embers landed on them as they did. They immediately screamed. Those should only have been embers, but as soon as they touched their skin, they burst into flames like they had doused themselves in gasoline and lit a match.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It only took one. Misread how the wind would carry a single red speck and there was no avoiding it. And the density of embers was far too high.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They must have known today was a work day. Apparently their type didn’t always carry around homemade crossbows, electromagnetic guns, and other projectiles. They had turned violence into a business, but approaching this thing with only a knife or baton would be suicide.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Are you serious? A single ember touching you is enough?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Onee-chan, it’s coming this way. We’re done for if she catches us!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even with all the trucks and junk, this was still a parking lot. They couldn’t stay hidden for long.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was time to make a decision.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They made their way toward the chain-link door while paying attention to the wind and the embers. First, they slid from behind the windowless work van to behind the prefab hut. The two sisters each grabbed one of the fainted online shrine maiden’s arms and dragged her with them. There was a fence blocking the way here too, but there was a gap they hadn’t noticed on their way in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They ran into someone there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He wore a sports brand track suit and a gold necklace around his exceptionally thick neck.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He had to be one of the yakuza members dumping the metal drum body.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gyaru sister was wearing her school uniform, even if it was heavily modified. Being seen by him would normally be very bad indeed, but she had bigger concerns at the moment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before he could say a word, Rainy shouted over him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We can discuss this later! If you want to get out of here alive, you can’t let any of the embers touch you! This is crazy bad, but pay attention to the wind as you run and you can escape!! Probably!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“H-hold on, what the hell are you doing in-”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was cut off by a series of explosive booms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The unnaturally polished luxury cars in the filthy parking lot were detonating and launching themselves straight up. Probably along with someone turning the key in the ignition in the hopes of escaping. All that thick metal – yes, those were probably bulletproof cars – weren’t enough to shield you. Under the Groan’s effects, they were no more than metal coffins. Whether they ran on gasoline or lithium, they were now explosives. The twisted wreckage crashed down to the ground, spreading the flames further.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Run for it!!” shouted the gyaru sister. “If you don’t want to die here, then run to the exit while keeping an eye on the wind!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pushed on by her words, the young man nodded a few times and made a mad dash toward one edge of the parking lot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The sisters didn’t have time to see if he made it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They supported limp Tsumugi from either side and ran in a different direction to get out the way they had come in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yuhi, what are we going to do about that fence!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, right. We built a crate staircase on the other side…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If they were heading back the way they had come, they would run into that fence crossing the full width of the parking lot. They had pushed and stacked wooden crates to create stairs to get in, but it was still a flat wall on this side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With that burning Hibashi-sama woman wandering around, they couldn’t afford to take their time pushing and stacking crates. Doing anything so conspicuous could easily draw her deadly attention.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They heard another explosion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From a car. You couldn’t escape on foot or by car. It would be a miracle if the engine started at all during this disaster, but had the Groan caused it to malfunction, followed by a focused attack from Hibashi-sama?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But that blast caught the soundproofing sheets and knocked over an entire section of the fence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just as Hibashi-sama turned from the burning wreckage and directed her gaze this way, Rainy and Yuhi ran over the toppled fence. While dragging Tsumugi between them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a mess.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hearing a bloodcurdling scream, they thoughtlessly looked back. The woman in burial garb reached her arms around a man with a crew cut, causing him to instantly carbonize while a few men who seemed to be guards, frozen in fear, were hit by the storm of embers and burst into flames.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The sisters had no choice but to flee with all this going on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the gyaru sister spotted a man running aimlessly, she gestured to direct him upwind. When she ran across a large man fallen to the ground and too terrified to get back up, she pushed him behind a thick roadside tree to hopefully hide him. If avoiding direct contact from the embers was enough, then the leaves of a tree would be one way of staying safe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or so she hoped.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Pant. Onee-chan, the exit, pant…is over there…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They pushed themselves through the gap between the fences to finally make it outside.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But that didn’t mean they could rest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A nearby fence covered with soundproofing sheet seemed to distort before it glowed orange and melted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Sh-she’s not bound by the haunted canal? She can follow us!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Run, Yuhi!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They had suspected this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hibashi-sama probably had nothing to do with the Vanishing Canal. She was a worse Malign Spirit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That they had clung to some faint hope in the backs of heir minds showed just how close the sisters were to their limit. This was like arriving at the goal of an endurance race only to be told it was time for Lap 2. Nevertheless, they gritted their teeth and kept on running, dragging the online shrine maiden with them. Because the only alternative was death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“How’s Mugikko!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Pant, still unconscious. Pant.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Look to the bright side. At least she wasn’t burned too badly to move and required immediate treatment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Something.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Somewhere.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just running wasn’t enough. Wasn’t there some kind of trump card that could defeat Hibashi-sama!?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yuhi, there!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What, Onee-chan? Phew, is there something there!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rainy was out of breath. She didn’t have time to answer the question.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The two of them dragged the online shrine maiden between them as they crossed a narrow bridge. The concrete bridge was narrow enough two kei trucks would have trouble passing each other on it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A sign for an electric scooter charging/parking station was visible on the curb across the bridge, but that wasn’t their goal. They had already seen cars malfunctioning or exploding. Besides, those electronic vehicles weren’t going to function with a real Malign Spirit after them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And this was the worst of the worst: a Quintuple Dread Star.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hibashi-sama, the burning woman in burial clothes, smiled within the flames.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her long, unnaturally long, head slowly swayed side to side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was clearly in pursuit. Her original target must have been the yakuza group, so could she change targets on a whim? Or did no one else remain below the elevated railroad anymore?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Onee-chan!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We can still make it! We just have to get that ghost woman to cross a narrow pathway with no escape!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gyaru sister pushed past her lack of oxygen to shout out her words.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once across the bridge, she turned around, searched through the online shrine maiden’s large sleeves, and pulled out the old oil lighter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She lit something. It was the size of a relay baton.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Vanishing Canal…had actually been a yakuza body dumping site and she had found this item in that strange parking lot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a construction explosive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She tossed it like a long throw in baseball.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Toward Hibashi-sama who was approaching them from the center the bridge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Boom!!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It erupted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The thick metal railings and guardrails were blasted outwards and the small concrete bridge itself bent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Pant…gasp…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rainy fell onto her rear and gasped for breath.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had used the online shrine maiden’s oil lighter – the Imperial Exorcism Igniter. And this time she had lit a high power construction explosive rather than fireworks. The basic power had to be far greater. In fact, the gyaru sister who had thrown the tube had been bowled over by the blast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It had definitely hit its target.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the narrow bridge, the amateur gyaru sister had created a situation where even she was guaranteed to hit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had done everything right. This should have eliminated the Malign Spirit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;And yet…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::Hee&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::::&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:125%&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Hee&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;    &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:75%&amp;quot;&amp;gt;hee&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She heard laughter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The woman known as Hibashi-sama twisted in amusement while still enveloped in flames.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gyaru sister’s eyes widened.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No way. A blast like that didn’t even scratch her!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But wait, Onee-chan. There’s something about her,” said Yuhi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hibashi-sama was certainly unscathed, but she remained on the opposite bank. She did not cross the damaged bridge or teleport directly behind them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She and the sisters stood on opposite sides of the damaged bridge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, it didn’t feel like an invisible boundary divided them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She could cross at any time, but she was entertaining herself by staying on that side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was unclear why that was, but the Malign Spirit showed no signs of frustration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her unnaturally long head turned away just once. Briefly. As if she had just remembered an appointment she was late for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was clearly enjoying this. Putting off her feast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…Rainy still felt conflicted about what happened at the Rending Pool. About the coldhearted way the online shrine maiden had executed the small child’s spirit without asking anyone’s advice. That was true. But if it was a question of right or wrong, Yahirodono Tsumugi was right. Overwhelmingly so. The gyaru sister thought so. As an unpleasant sweat dripped down her face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Malign Spirits were part death, so trying to converse with them or send them to heaven was suicide.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Any optimistic and convenient thoughts by living humans to that end were meaningless.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hibashi-sama extended a slender fiery hand to point the sisters’ way with fire tongs over a meter long.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No, she was pointing at limp Tsumugi’s face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:L   e   t   ’   s&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::p   l   a   y&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::s   o   o   n&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Something exploded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The flames and heat were dozens of times greater than the ones the gyaru sister had produced. They blasted up toward heaven like a fiery tornado. The girls hadn’t been directly hit, but they were sent tumbling backwards. If they had remained on the other bank, not even their bones would have remained. In all seriousness, the asphalt and concrete pavement melted red and flew up into the air.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The bridge fell.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This went beyond the fates of individuals. The scenery itself changed to display her rule.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:75%&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Cackle&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; cackle &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:125%&amp;quot;&amp;gt;cackle cackle&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; cackle cackle &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:75%&amp;quot;&amp;gt;cackle cackle&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; cackle &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:125%&amp;quot;&amp;gt;cackle cackle cackle&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; cackle!!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Leaving only hideous laughter behind, it all vanished.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To an unnatural degree.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 10===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Hisame Kouga slipped out of the yakuza’s Japanese-style estate unnoticed, he heard a burning sound.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Along with screams and shouting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The threat that had attacked the parking lot must have moved here. Instantaneously.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So that’s it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The young man in the nice suit noticed a splendid nameplate on the ground. It was over a meter long and should have been displayed on the large gate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A portion of it was scorched an unnatural black.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(It would seem the bonds of criminal brotherhood are enough. The line for the front security cameras has been unnaturally cut. From the look of things, this one ritual will lead to countless burned bodies discovered all across Japan.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the dark ritual had been &#039;&#039;fully completed&#039;&#039;, flames would be tearing through the estate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Completing that would have taken a fair bit of mental fortitude.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hibashi-sama was a legendary Malign Spirit who was rumored to be behind nearly every disaster related to fire in the country’s history: from the Honnouji Incident to the Great Kantou Earthquake. There was no escaping her. Not even for the system of violence lurking on the underside of society. No, her power was all the more effective against those too powerful to be defeated by conventional means.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was the only confirmed Quintuple Dread Star. That meant she was the worst sort of monster who had taken tens of thousands of lives. And that was only &#039;&#039;her known victims&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But no matter how horrific she was, Hibashi-sama could be guided with a ritual.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Which meant she did not act alone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Someone did this. And the key to it all is here in New Sea City.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Story Synopsis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the distant future, Earth has been devastated and its inhabitants seek a new home in the heavens. However, constant warfare forces humans to return to Earth, which has turned into an uninhabitable planet except for a certain area called the Divine States.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Divine States are too small to accommodate all the humans, so they duplicated the area and created the Harmonic Divine States. In order to retrace their steps and rediscover their journey to the heavens, the returned humans began to reproduce history from the year 10,000 BC, using a mysterious history book called Testament.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
History reproduction proceeds smoothly until A.D. 1413, when a war broke out in the Divine States. This causes the Harmonic Divine States to crash onto the original world. The humans living in the Harmonic Divine States lose their land and invade the original world. The people of the Divine States surrender and they are divided by the invaders from the Harmonic Divine States. They try to resume the reproduction of history from A.D.1457, but the update of history terminates in A.D.1648. A rumor of apocalypse begins to spread around the world.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Chapter 30: Intership Rulers==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Horizon10B_p0193.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I only decorate my room&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;With the bare minimum&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;So it isn’t a sign of my actual tastes&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Don’t you get it?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Point Allocation (Bare Minimum of Taste)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Adele listened to the sounds as she ran.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The battlefield was inundated with all sorts of sounds, but some distinctive ones were beginning to arrive from a few locations with enough force for her to notice them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Impacts. Clashing metal. Roaring wind. The rapid percussion of footwork. And…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Satomi President!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Righteousness and the Unambitious mechanical dragon roared by in the air, racing in between the artillery fire. Righteousness was smaller, but the larger mechanical dragon was managing as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Wow…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mechanical dragon was the real surprise. The Satomi President was a skilled god of war heavy knight and she had proven her worth when they were boarded by the Sanada dragon Kakei Torahide.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had a way of settling matters with pure skill no matter the size of her opponent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And that mechanical dragon was keeping up with Yoshiyasu. Its greater size meant the smaller, high-powered Righteousness should have been flying circles around it, but it was keeping up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just as Adele realized that was a dangerous opponent, a beam flew in from behind her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, whoaaaa!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While running along the deck, she made a gentle diagonal spin. And just as that replaced her next step, she saw the beam of light shoot past her side and diagonally up into the sky.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It had missed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Thank goodness!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Checking the rearview sign frame displaying the scene behind her, she saw Komaoumaru running in from the bow. Her team had to move aside to get out of his way, but the mobile shell animated by a dead spirit did not stop for them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Adele’s team members watched him pass them by and continued running, without getting too close to him, as they shouted up to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Captain Balfette! I think he likes you!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That’s right, captain! I think he sees this as a chase between the two of you!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Aren’t you lucky, captain!? All the non-human males can’t contain their love for you!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I don’t want love expressed in the form of deadly beams!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She resumed her run and opened a sign frame by her hands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Flat Vassal:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Someone! Someone come up with a solution here!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Uqui:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Adele, didn’t you imply earlier that you could handle things there? What happened to that?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Flat Vassal:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Humanity wasn’t meant to handle beams! I know that now!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Still Got It:&#039;&#039;&#039; “The problem is you’re trying to defeat them. Let them vaporize you and you can calm yourself and go all out. It feels wonderful, I promise.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She broke the sign frame with her assault spear. She hoped that didn’t qualify as an international incident.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyway, she was in serious trouble. As she pulled away from Komaoumaru, it really did feel like two lovers chasing after each other and flirting, but…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“––––”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She briefly dropped her hips when a beam swept through horizontally. After her shin armor slid along the deck and the attack grazed the top of her head, she kicked at the floor with her toes. She leaned her body forward and continued on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She kept going. She ran. She simply raced forward. And again…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Flat Vassal:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Someone! Someone please come up with a solution!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Unturning:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Step 1: Equip your Unturning Centipede.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She broke the sign frame with a dashing headbutt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The vassal is having a rough time,&#039;&#039; thought Yoshiyasu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It wasn’t a walk in the park for her either. After all, the red mechanical dragon was quite &#039;&#039;good.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It knew how to throw itself around. The pilot knew exactly how to fly. Yoshiyasu didn’t know anyone from the Kantou to Tokai area with this level of proficiency.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;If only Houjou had a mechanical dragon force like this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Date clan used a dragon as its symbol, but they primarily used gods of war, so she never would have ended up in a battle like this unless she took on Sanada’s dragons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That said, Kantou’s Far Eastern forces were excellent, so she had fought opponents of this size, even if they didn’t have this much maneuverability.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Namely, aerial ships.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had fought small and large ones and, while they weren’t “ships”, Houjou used mechanical phoenixes. Looking at their speed and size, those weren’t any less of a threat. So by drawing on her own combat experience against those and the data gathered by the god of war, she knew the basic maneuvers needed here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She flew.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Satomi’s gods of war were best known for their aerial maneuverability. When intercepting Houjou over Edo Bay, aerial battles were a necessity, which meant high-speed maneuverability.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was what she did here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The intership space between the Azuchi and the Musashi was less than 100 meters across. She flew between them and, when necessary, kicked off the decks or armor to make a turn. The two of them attempted to get on the other’s tail, but they also tried to keep their speed up and to not get too closely intertwined.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Toh!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some artillery fire was incoming.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Musashi and the Azuchi were firing, but the ones from the Azuchi were worse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Their firing control was probably linked with the mechanical dragon. A few of the shots were clearly targeting her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;So the Azuchi knows how to fight better than the Musashi!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Azuchi had built up ample combat experience as P.A. Oda. Operating newly constructed ships with the same level as an experienced ship was one advantage of a nation with plenty of combat experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They used all of that to help the mechanical dragon pursue Yoshiyasu here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It came up behind her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was fast. Instead of catching up to her, it felt more like the mechanical dragon flew in all at once.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yoshiyasu responded by kicking off the Musashi’s port edge to change her course. Then she used the flight device on her back to launch herself straight up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was more jumping than flying. She instantaneously changed position and…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Can you keep up!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below, the mechanical dragon lifted its body and maneuvered as if clinging to the air. The thrusters on the bottom of its torso were directed forward for rapid braking and then…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Here it comes!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The large thrusters on its wings, which doubled as its forelegs, pointed straight down as it pursued.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An explosion of acceleration light backlit the mechanical dragon as it flew straight up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was fast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The god of war was lighter than the mechanical dragon. The power-to-weight ratio gave Yoshiyasu more instantaneous acceleration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After flying outside the mechanical dragon’s close range, she should repeat the process to keep an advantageous distance between them, but…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s flying in!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mechanical dragon was approaching from below with speed rivaling a mechanical phoenix and maneuverability rivaling a god of war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nabeshima realized just how terribly calm she was.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She hadn’t been like this during the Keichou Campaign. Then, her body had been wrapped in the exhaustion and activity one associated with the word “battle” and she had been desperate to win.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But not so now. She didn’t know why, but she didn’t feel rushed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unambitious was operating correctly. The Ryuuzouji five were assisting her. That didn’t fully explain it, but she had a clear view of what she had to do.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before, the Satomi god of war had destroyed the Azuchi’s bottom dock. Had her anger over that actually helped calm her? She knew she couldn’t underestimate this opponent’s skill, so she knew she couldn’t afford to rush this. So…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I will defeat you.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her quarry suddenly disappeared.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Ryuuzouji five shouted “above you, milady!”, so she stood up. And she didn’t actually check to see her opponent overhead. She knew they were up there, so even without looking…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Toh.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She jumped straight up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The actual process was a combination of many different actions, but it felt to her like she had simply looked up and jumped.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She knew this action.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What did she need to do for her mechanical dragon to accomplish something here? She felt like she was guiding herself toward the answer as she conveyed it to the mechanical dragon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;That’s right.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She couldn’t just strive toward her goal. She had to guide and pull herself up toward the goal. That way she was sure to succeed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I can see it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had worked out the route to her goal, so she had no reason to doubt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As she built up smaller successes, the joy of success would ensure she did not stray from her ultimate goal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Small and unexciting successes were fine with her if they were the shortest route to her goal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was the reason.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was why she was so calm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She could rejoice at each little success, but achieving her goal came first.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She didn’t want another failure like at the Keichou Campaign. She was through crying and losing. So for now…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Up there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She looked up and pursued. She set that as her immediate goal and pulled herself up toward it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rise up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Here it comes!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yoshiyasu realized just how precise this opponent was. She was impressed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The pilot was operating something as large as a mechanical dragon, but what hesitation and aberration existed were accounted for in her calculations. Yoshiyasu couldn’t be certain, but she guessed that Nabeshima Naoshige sat in the cockpit fully calm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She predicted where Yoshiyasu would go, calculated out the shortest route to reach that point, and then followed the path laid out before her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Doing that required something: experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once you had traveled a path, you would no longer hesitate on it. Similarly, once you had experienced something once, you would no longer hesitate when doing it again and you would find the way back easier too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was true of all things.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was true of piloting a god of war and it was true of piloting a mechanical dragon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So you’ve built up enough of it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yoshiyasu had seen the records of the Keichou Campaign. That had been a Satomi history recreation, so she had searched out as much of the Satomi-side combat records as she could get her hands on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The battle between Nabeshima Naoshige’s mechanical dragon and the Hexagone Française gods of war had been most enlightening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unambitious’s estimated specs had been quite accurate. That was why she had managed to dive in and destroy the dock immediately after fighting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But there had been no sense of calm there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Because of summer break?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As if grazing the nose of the mechanical dragon flying up toward her, Yoshiyasu jumped over its face and flew back behind it. And…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“––––”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The dragon pitched in midair. From its vertical ascent, it made a pitchwise pivot turn around its head as if the air toward its belly were a wall. But before that clockwise motion could reach vertical, it stopped at 9 o’clock.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Here it comes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And it did.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With no wasted motion, the red mechanical dragon rapidly switched goals in its pursuit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nabeshima concentrated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She controlled Unambitious, switching from one necessary maneuver to the next, updating the small goals needed to reach her big goal, and even adjusting that big goal when necessary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The battlefield was on the move.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So she played it by ear, not lingering on each individual success or failure and always moving on to the next.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Always forward!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She thought one and even two moves ahead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She could see her goal and could calculate back from there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So as she adjusted her predictions on the fly, she began thinking less about what she could do now and more about doing now what would be necessary in the future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That kind of preparation was only possible when she could predict what was to come.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This improved her course adjustments more than anything else.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If she had to make a turn up ahead, she could begin turning now to shorten the time and distance that would take.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I can close in on her!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She slipped between the artillery fire and kicked off defense barriers or accelerated in pursuit of the enemy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That enemy was the Satomi Student Council President. Although Nabeshima had heard she was mainly calling herself the Satomi Chancellor now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But that title came from…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Our failure during the Keichou Campaign!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nabeshima would avenge the defeat that had brought her to tears back then. So…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I will catch up!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;I will catch up!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nabeshima’s goal filled her clear mind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her greatest goal was to catch up to the Satomi President’s god of war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That would require moving in close.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her immediate goal was to ascend.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That meant facing up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So while doing so, she poured on further ascension.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And she pursued.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her next goal was to take the best course to start closing in on her opponent’s continuous flight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But no matter how many feints her opponent made, she would settle on a single course in the end.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So Nabeshima averaged together the god of war’s feint courses to reach a single course. Then she tentatively sent her mechanical dragon along that course.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She flew.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The god of war must have realized the feints weren’t working because it accelerated to Nabeshima’s right.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To the right. And back behind Nabeshima.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Behind her. Preventing the god of war from circling around her like that became her next goal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She moved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She blasted the large thruster on her left foreleg. Then she opened the brake panels on her right side to air brake. This spun the mechanical dragon around its right foreleg, automatically turning it towards the god of war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her gaze pursued. Her body spun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And she again reset her goal to catching up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She pursued the enemy as she rotated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The god of war just barely entered her spinning view. From the right.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She reacted by moving forward. She ended her spin and flew forward.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She simply moved forward in pursuit, confident she had closed in on her opponent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Go!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had captured the god of war in the center of her view.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was clearly on course to achieve her major objective.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;She’s closing in so carefully!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yoshiyasu realized just how skilled her opponent was.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mechanical dragon was not moving like an expert. An expert could eliminate the unnecessary back-and-forth, creating a course that only benefited them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But at the same time, this mechanical dragon was beyond the level of common.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was someone who was building up experience on the way to achieving expertise.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yoshiyasu knew she had to be the same.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nabeshima Naoshige was a first year. That meant she was growing faster than a second year like Yoshiyasu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;I see.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Kantou Liberation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The records Yoshiyasu had received told of Nabeshima’s battle at the Miura Peninsula. That battle had changed her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had abandoned her momentum-focused fighting style and shifted to a calm focus on victory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;It’s ironic really.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had lost to gods of war piloted by automata. Automata always made the best and most optimal moves, so they piloted gods of war in the same way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After losing to them, Nabeshima had adopted that same sensibility.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But what about Yoshiyasu?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She honestly hadn’t reached the point Nabeshima had. She simply rushed toward whatever opportunity she saw before her eyes and made whatever choices presented themselves afterwards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was great at ad libbing, but she couldn’t really help that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her training partners had been too good and too bad at the same time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After all, they had been her sister and Yoshiyori. Her sister had been strict with her own and Yoshiyori had simply been strong. She had said goodbye before she could even imagine a way of defeating them and she still struggled to imagine the scene.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If either of them had achieved expertise, she thought it had to be Nabeshima. She must have still had vivid memories of going through intense training in an environment well suited for her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was best.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But what about Yoshiyasu? She had lost her environment, all of her training was based on that environment, and her memories of it had grown hazy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;But,&#039;&#039; she thought.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;I do have the skills to get by.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had learned that in her battle against Konishi during the Kantou Liberation. She thought of herself as poor at fighting, but when it came to the skills needed to survive and snatch away victory…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I endured my sister and Yoshiyori.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That wasn’t something to be proud of, but it had made her who she was. She couldn’t deny that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She would endure and never let a chance at victory get away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If her opponent was on the path to expertise, she would leap over that side path. And to do that…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Here goes.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ignoring school year and social status, she faced this as a challenger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh?” Narumi heard him say.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They were at the cargo port on Takao’s stern. With his healing and repairs complete, he had been looking up into the sky, observing and reporting on the artillery fire and density coming from the Azuchi, but now…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Entering Osaka Bay seemed to give the Satomi President and her opponent a burst of energy.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Maybe the weight of the air changed.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Perhaps the space feels larger without the terrain below.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even as she listened to him, long roars of acceleration passed from stern to bow. There were two in all, but the leading one used four main thrusters while the pursuer had two primary power sources with eight main class thrusters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Does that mean the Satomi President is being pursued?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Narumi had known Yoshiyasu a long time and that didn’t seem like her, but that mechanical dragon was quite good.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The thruster sounds are linking together. She isn’t rushing the switchover.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“She would have more freedom if she moved away from the Azuchi and Musashi. I suppose she hasn’t figured that out yet,” he said. “But while the mechanical dragon’s flight is as precise as a needle sewing together two pieces of cloth, the god of war is rushing more. How long she can endure the exhaustion will determine the outcome for the Satomi President.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mechanical dragon set achieving an advantageous position as its goal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The god of war used its acceleration to change position and endured.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mechanical dragon set pursuit as its goal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The god of war used its acceleration to change position and endured.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mechanical dragon set not hesitating as its goal. It set predicting the god of war’s path as its goal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The god of war used a rapid ascent to lure in its opponent and endured.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mechanical dragon set pursuit as its goal. It set instantly changing course and ascending as its goal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The god of war leaped up along a rapid forward course and endured.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The god of war accelerated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mechanical dragon set accelerating forward during its ascent as its goal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The god of war accelerated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mechanical dragon set acceleration as its goal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The god of war accelerated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mechanical dragon accelerated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nabeshima closed in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She layered goal atop goal, pursued, and realized she was slowly but surely following the process needed to achieve her major goal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;I’m so close!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not in terms of distance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In terms of the process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even when her opponent pulled away, she had things set up so a small process was enough to catch back up. So more than closing in in terms of distance, she had control over her opponent’s position and timing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No matter how far away her opponent got, she could close back in on her with only two or three steps of her process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was not like the Keichou Campaign.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Back then, she had only closed in in terms of distance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had not done so in terms of the process needed to reach victory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That had changed. But when had it changed? During the summer training camp? No, it was before that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“When I cried!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nabeshima’s mechanical dragon pursued. It was slowly but surely closing in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, Yoshiyasu simply increased her speed. But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;I can’t match her top speed!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She could practically feel her opponent moving in to “grasp” victory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That opponent seemed calm, but she carried a powerful obsession toward her goal of victory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was the kind of person who could still look up to her role models.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Could Yoshiyasu never catch up to her sister, Yoshiyori, or the others no matter how much she fought?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was a reason she suspected so. Yatsufusa.  She had left it with Musashi’s engine room’s god of war maintenance division and it was now stored in the large hangar being carried to Sanuki. That and Murasamemaru under its management.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Only a proper Chancellor and Student Council President for Satomi could combine with and use them. That god of war and sword still rejected her after the Kantou Liberation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They would start up, but the check booted her out. Since that was the result of the checker activating, Engine Room Chief Taizou had offered to try to locate and remove the checker, but if the OS relied on it, Yatsufusa might stop working altogether. And the same would happen to Murasamemaru since it was managed by Yatsufusa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So that wasn’t an option.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The symbol of the Satomi Chancellor refused to recognize her. However, that fact didn’t bother her all that much.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;If this is just my lot in life, then so be it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It had become normal for her to think of herself as not having reached her sister and Yoshiyori’s level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She did think she had nearly equaled them in results, position, and status.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But those things weren’t everything. She had trouble verbalizing it, but she felt like she lacked something a Chancellor or Student Council President was supposed to have.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And something else had occurred to her lately.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Is my way of being Chancellor and President different from my sister and Yoshiyori’s way?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Was that an excuse?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Did these thoughts come from her wanting a way out of thinking she wasn’t doing as well as them and hadn’t reached their level? It would be pathetic if so, but something else had occurred to her during the Kantou Liberation and the Siege of Odawara.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her sword style did not come from herself, but it also wasn’t her sister’s or Yoshiyori’s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It looked like her own personal style, but it inherited her sister and Yoshiyori’s movements while also acquiring something in opposition of those two.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;In that case,&#039;&#039; she thought as she used her flight device to race between the artillery fire and defense barriers and asked a question of the mechanical dragon in pursuit of her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If I adapt to you, will that too become part of my style?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yoshiyasu accelerated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She swung Righteousness around in a wrapping way and kicked off defense barriers to turn in an attempt to move toward the mechanical dragon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her speed would determine if the move was decisive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But as she made a series of short accelerated turns to circle around, the mechanical dragon reacted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its thrusters were in its forelegs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It began with great speed that seemed to drag the full machine forward, but after reaching its top speed, it was a little on the slower side. It was better suited for a midair dogfight or a frenzied battle between two ships like this than a large battle in the wide open sky.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When fighting on the ground, the records said it could blast its thrusters to accelerate kicks with its forelegs and to move around quickly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In other words, this was its stage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yoshiyasu was at the disadvantage and the only area where she had the upper hand was in combat experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And their fighting styles were fundamentally different.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The opponent looked ahead to victory while Yoshiyasu prioritized enduring.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mechanical dragon flew in. Predicting her attempt to gain a better position, it moved to prevent that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;How cautious,&#039;&#039; she thought.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Time to do this.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Their courses intertwined at high speed, neither of them decelerating at all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mechanical dragon set defeating the god of war as its goal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The god of war accelerated to endure the mechanical dragon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nabeshima looked out ahead while picturing herself with her palms held together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This wasn’t about the mechanical dragon’s wings or her own hands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a mental image of her methods reaching her ultimate goal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All of her actions and concentration were directed toward catching the god of war in the center of her field of view.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No matter how much she maneuvered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No matter how much she accelerated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No matter how much she fought.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She always held the path to success in her hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Good.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was good. It would work. It was good and she wanted it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each time she maneuvered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each time she accelerated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each time she fought.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The success in her hand grew to the point that she now felt like she was holding it in her arms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A tremor ran through her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even with success in her hand, a certain thought filled her mind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;I want to win.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She doubted she was being careless. In fact, she still hadn’t fully formed the process inside herself. To the point that it all felt kind of slapdash. She had gained a lot of knowledge through speaking with the Sanada Terrestrial Dragons from morning to dusk and they had said she mustn’t skip the middle steps.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But even &#039;&#039;that&#039;&#039; would be over soon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Damn.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What a waste.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once she acquired the success in her hand, this would be over. Of course, she didn’t know for sure she could acquire it, but it would be over whether she did or not.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She would know once the process was complete.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She would know if she would succeed or fail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But she wanted that answer. Instead of enjoying this or rejoicing in it, she wished for this moment, this situation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That wish would come true. So…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“–––––”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;God of war. Satomi President. No, you’re Chancellor now, aren’t you?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Maneuver for me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Accelerate for me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Fight for me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Come at me with everything you have so I can see how far my process takes me and just how many processes I can boast. But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yes.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Why are you going that way? That acceleration won’t work on me anymore. My process has already surpassed you. So…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What a waste.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But it was over. She would end it out of respect for the process she had fully built up within herself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ahhhhhhhhhh!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nabeshima allowed herself to raise her voice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was her first time roaring since she shouted inside her mechanical dragon as it tumbled through the sea in the early morning of the Keichou Campaign.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was drowned out by the noise dragon’s mechanical sounds and the roar of the air arriving through the armor, but it definitely reverberated through her entire body.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Immediately, she used her thrusters to charge at the god of war dead ahead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Direct hit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nabeshima saw the mechanical dragon’s nose shatter the blue armor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But she shouted at the impact she felt, the shape of the metal scattering in the image from the sight devices, and the additional data coming in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;This&#039;&#039; was not the god of war itself. She had seen &#039;&#039;this method&#039;&#039; before. &#039;&#039;This&#039;&#039; was…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The purged flight device!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The enemy god of war…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Made me charge at it!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using her dragon cannon or secondary cannons at this speed would stall her out. Aware of that, the enemy had lured her up to a speed that ultimately gave her an advantage and then created a situation where a tackle would work best.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then the enemy abandoned the flight device on her back and had Nabeshima hit it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The flight device was a decoy. Nabeshima still didn’t know when the next attack would come, but…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I know it’s coming!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She could do that much. She had seen this before, which provided her with the necessary experience. She wouldn’t let her guard down this time. So she looked out ahead. After passing through the broken component, she looked for the falling god of war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;There it is!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The god of war was aiming a weapon this way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A rifle. It was a collapsible pseudo-anti-ship gun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was the first Nabeshima had seen of that. It must have been hidden behind the flight device.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The enemy must have thought she couldn’t react if she hadn’t seen it before.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I know that weapon!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Keichou Campaign had ultimately been decided by the pseudo-anti-ship gun used by Hexagone Française Head Maid Hoida Motokiyo’s god of war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guns were better than blades for a god of war battling a mechanical dragon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So even if the Satomi President’s primary weapon was a sword, Nabeshima had predicted she would be carrying an anti-warship gun for use against mechanical dragons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The blue god of war had readied the collapsible gun with a single flash of sparks and now had its muzzle aimed Nabeshima’s way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Too slow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why was that too slow?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Because this is the battlefield!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A moment later, the blue god of war was blasted to the side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By an artillery shot from the Azuchi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Stayyyyyy focussssssed!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the fire control center below the bridge, Asano shouted up to the high-speed battle in the sky.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Everyone else in the 90-degree tilted room turned her way, but she didn’t care. This battle was all about the Special Duty Officer class fighters using their best weapons to take air superiority for their side. Leaving any enemy undefeated could allow the god of war to reclaim the sky and put the Azuchi at risk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Iiit would be niiice if they let us do thaaat.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, the reverse would be nice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After all, the god of war had abandoned its flight device. What was she thinking? Even if she defeated Nabeshima, she wouldn’t be able to hold onto air superiority.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was ad libbing and living in the moment a little too much.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asano didn’t think Nabeshima had let her guard down against this opponent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inside the fire control center, Asano was in charge of syncing everything with Unambitious’s movements.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Knowing where she had to “place” the many attacks, she set it all up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was an adaptation of what Mochizuki had taught her at Sanada. Just like traps, artillery fire could act as a diversion and keeping it up would boost the odds of success. By further managing it to mix up the timing and direction, she could boost those odds even more. So that just left…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Calculaaations.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each individual attack was weak, but the accumulation was what mattered. And…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Nabe-saaan!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unambitious accelerated and dove toward the scattering enemy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The main sign frame, which was opened large and tilted at 90 degrees, applied brightness amplification to clearly show the mechanical dragon rushing toward the falling god of war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was on its way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Buuut this iiisn’t over yeeet!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asano had shouted for the charging mechanical dragon to stay focused.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That enemy was the Satomi President.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They hadn’t met or spoken with her. She may have been on the deck when they landed on the Musashi to refuel, but that didn’t count.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They didn’t know each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But Asano knew of her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Satomi Yoshiyasu!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had only learned of her recently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Only after their defeat at the Keichou Campaign had they looked up information on the winner.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sanada had plenty of documents on Kantou. Hashiba had stored records related to the progression of the Keichou Campaign and they had been able to access the parts related to themselves via the divine net as long as they submitted a request.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asano excelled at gathering relevant information from records like that. Nabeshima hadn’t seemed all that interested in reading it at first, but at some point a change had come over her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That Satomi girl has been through a lot…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was all she said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But she had changed. She had started joining Asano in reading through it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They couldn’t experience the same hard times, but how much could they make this one defeat into their own &#039;&#039;hard&#039;&#039;ship? And how much valuable could they make the &#039;&#039;hard&#039;&#039; work of their summer training camp?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a way, this battle felt like a way of showing the Satomi President how much they had grown.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They had gnashed their teeth, wept, and raged, but how could they strike back at that battle now?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Nabe-saaan!” shouted Asano. “Secondary cannon volley!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I thought you weren’t going to hold back,&#039;&#039; thought Nabeshima as she accelerated and added to the artillery fire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The enemy was falling, taking fire, and losing armor while Nabeshima charged down toward her and hit her with a volley of secondary cannons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The god of war’s speed was dropping, but it no longer had its main thrust system. One of the secondary wings at its hip seemed dead. All she could do now was control the course of her fall. Nabeshima had to make sure she didn’t accidentally overshoot her as she fired her…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Secondary cannons!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mechanical dragon was the same size as a light warship. But the movable range of the parts and the need to reduce resistance during flight meant it couldn’t carry that many secondary cannons and their size was limited.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was thanks to its largest cannon: the dragon cannon. The secondary ones were primarily anti-personnel weapons or used to destroy enemy shells and defense barriers, so they weren’t primary weapons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But this was an exception.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She would win this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The dragon cannon left her wide open to attack. Currently, she was holding off on using it until she had some distance between them and could use it as a finishing blow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A collision would be more certain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, that required stripping the enemy of her maneuverability. Of her sub-thrusters, she still had one of the thruster wings on her hips. Plus…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“She isn’t falling!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asano’s coordinated artillery fire from the Azuchi should have been a surprise.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But the blue god of war remained intact. The falling god of war had lost some armor from its left shoulder and side since that side was directed toward the Azuchi, but the secondary armor below was bent but not broken.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Did she dodge it!?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No, that wasn’t it. This was the enemy’s unique trait.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Did she endure it!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Not yet!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yoshiyasu had not fully endured it. She told herself now was the time to bear with it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She stopped her respiration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even when combined with the god of war, her body’s biological functions were virtually reproduced by substitute functions and spells. Respiration was mostly handled by the air intake and exhaust systems and the voice devices, but she had shut those off for now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That wasn’t actually necessary to help her concentrate, but it was useful as a ritual.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By shutting off the extraneous things inside her, she could push the god of war’s reactions to their top speed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The cannon blast from the side had been bad.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It had been wholly unexpected, so she had Righteousness’s sensors to thank for picking it up. Her past combat experience had it automatically detect the approach of any flying object, allowing her to make a decision.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That it had given her a chance to make a decision meant it could also skip past her input in an emergency. That was why experts would probably operate it entirely manually, but she didn’t do that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because a lot had been left in her care.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She hadn’t reached her sister or Yoshiyori’s level, but she had been left with even more than they had. That had begun with Houjou Genan’s death had been confirmed and it had likely been set in stone when she spoke with the Musashi Representative Committee Head in the park after the battle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had to survive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was not in conflict with enduring, so she knew what choice to make.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She would endure even if it meant not getting to make a decision.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And that was what happened.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Now, then,” she said without breathing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was inside her god of war. The virtual space contained within her mind appeared as a small room to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The room was poorly lit and had weapons and books stacked up all around her. In there, she was below the loft that acted as her bed and viewing a wide-range sign frame displaying the view outside. She had her right hand resting on her cross-legged lap and her left hand on her chin in a thoughtful pose.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She would ordinarily open control sign frames on her limbs and operate Righteousness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Combining with the machine made her feel like they were one and the same. But that would create discrepancies in the length and speed of different body parts and she would lose objectivity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was the point of this place.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But for now, this was all there was.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The combination had been temporarily severed, meaning she could only control the god of war with the signals sent from here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Righteousness had forced her into this situation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Because the damage feels like it’s happening to me when I’m combined.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To keep her from panicking, her virtually recreated body would react when it was hit. So Righteousness had her stay here until the spells and program had made the necessary adjustments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;There isn’t enough time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her thoughts were being adjusted to match the god of war’s processing speed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While piloting, that generally meant 5 to 30 times normal, but it could be dragged up to nearly 1000 times when necessary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The limit there had been removed and it had been dragged up to 10,000 times, bringing it nearly to the danger zone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The situation might require she eject, so Righteousness was not holding back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She thought it was a well-made god of war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But while this meant she now had ten thousand seconds for each second that passed in the outside world, her brain couldn’t withstand it for long.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Righteousness had chosen to do it, yet it displayed a warning this would only last about “180 seconds”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the approximately three minutes she had in this time, she needed to decide what to do about this. But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;I have to make predictions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With her reaction speed boosted this far, any decision she made was more about prediction than reaction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She would like to respond at 800x speed afterwards, but the god of war had taken so much damage it might not make the speed switch in time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So she had to predict as much as she could before making her decision.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What would the mechanical dragon do? She couldn’t imagine. But she did now…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’ve taken damage.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Righteousness’s automatic evasive reactions had activated, avoiding a direct hit by the shell.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or more accurately, Righteousness had intentionally purged its left shoulder armor to hit the shell and divert its path.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She again appreciated how well-made a god of war it was, but to perform an action outside the basic automatic evasive maneuvers required reproducing an appropriate maneuver from the pilot’s combat experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Did I do that in the past?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It seemed too dangerous. &#039;&#039;Am I stupid?&#039;&#039; she wondered, but if Righteousness had used it, it must have rated it highly, so maybe she shouldn’t be so hard on herself? &#039;&#039;No, it still seems too dangerous. In other words, am I stupid?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regardless, she had avoided the greatest risk at the cost of nearly all of her left side’s armor. The primary frame remained intact. The left arm frame’s elbow could barely move, so she was glad she had asked the engine room’s maintenance team to adjust the movable range of all the moving parts. At the very least, she had had it all relax at the moment the impact her her shoulder, the equal freedom of movement in each joint allowing the damage to escape.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That just left…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The enemy’s attack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She could tell some things in this nearly frozen moment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First, her opponent was charging toward her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Second, her opponent felt safe enough to fire her dragon cannon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Third, her opponent was launching a volley of secondary cannons, knowing it would make her stall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So if Yoshiyasu could endure the secondary cannons, either she would be allowed to go or she would be hit by either the charge or the dragon cannon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The immediate problem was the number and angle of the secondary cannons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After using the number of incoming projectiles to determine the number of guns that had approached within firing range, she used her virtual body to take the same pose as the god of war and lay down on the tatami mat floor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yes.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;I would be stooping to the Musashi Vice President’s level if I said this makes me Yoshi-yes-u.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Did that thought mean she had managed to calm herself?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then Righteousness sent over a sign frame.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;Left Arm Elbow Damage – Medium – Movement Range Restriction – Confirmed&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;Left Arm Wrist Damage – Medium – Movement Range Restriction – Confirmed&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;Left Vision Adjustment – Light – Recovering Focus Function&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
More similar notifications of damage and injury to different body parts appeared, but at the end…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;Combination Privilege Restoration – Do You Accept? Y / N&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She didn’t hesitate to press Y. Righteousness had to understand this battle was dangerous. One of the standard messages passed down from the Age of the Gods appeared.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She read it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Activating ‘Full Barrel Open’ to respond to the enemy force. Beginning counterattack.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nabeshima gathered strength in her hands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Both in her real hands and in the mechanical dragon’s forelegs. She pictured herself grasping success. But it was…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Hard!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was fully in her hands and only some light leaked out from between her fingers, but she couldn’t close her hands. Was the power within resisting, or was she afraid?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Kh…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She fired her secondary cannons. Unambitious’s auto-tracking accurately sent out the shells. But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“it won’t go down!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The god of war had changed its stance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Instead of just falling, it directed the soles of its feet toward her to reduce the area exposed to her fire. And to avoid losing any toes, the heels were pushed out toward her and opened up to fire shells and provide resistance. Its shin and knee armor was used to deflect and scatter the secondary cannon projectiles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some did hit of course. But they only tore away armor and exterior components. The one surviving secondary thruster shifted its position slightly to avoid a critical hit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;She’s tough!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nabeshima had honestly thought she could just ignore her. Let her go.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But that opponent remained intact and still had a sub thruster. If she used her falling speed to escape here, she could become a threat later on. So…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I won’t give up!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just as Nabeshima shouted that, something fell past her face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A weapon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The object that fell straight down and into a pair of god of war hands was…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The pseudo-anti-ship cannon!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nabeshima realized the one trick the enemy could have set up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;She threw her rifle into the air the instant Asano’s coordinated artillery hit her!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She didn’t know if the god of war had done so automatically or if the Satomi President had done it manually, but it fell straight down and arrived undamaged in the god of war’s hands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The muzzle was aimed up at Nabeshima.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Milady!” shouted the Four Heavenly Kings of Ryuuzouji just as she made up her mind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Dragon cannon!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She would fire. But not at full power. That would create an opening and be overkill.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She would forcibly end the blast midway and change position, not giving the enemy time to set up another trick.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That would likely burn out the mechanical dragon’s interior, but it was worth it to take this opponent. So the instant after firing the dragon cannon would be the…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Time to finish this!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asano saw a light vertically pierce the sky on the control center’s main lernen figur.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was a dragon cannon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The beam with a diameter of around 20m instantly thrust downwards, but…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Good ooone!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stopping it partway through was a good decision.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A dragon cannon was overkill against a god of war and to make matters more certain…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You caaan’t charge in when you caaan’t see your oppooonent!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nabeshima could use her secondary cannons, so she didn’t need to blindly charge in and approach the enemy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maybe it didn’t look good, but if she wanted to guarantee her victory, she had to aim for the lingering light of the dragon cannon and…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Fire a secondary cannon volley!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just as Asano raised her voice, she saw the mechanical dragon on the lernen figur move.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It spread its forelegs to secure its position in midair. And then…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Yes!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unambitious aimed its secondary cannons toward the lingering light below and launched its metal projectiles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;She did it,&#039;&#039; thought Asano.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The dragon cannon’s light still lingered in the air. The hit god of war was scattered within that light and its steel body was finally struck by the rapid blows of Unambitious’s secondary cannons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nabeshima stayed outside her opponent’s range, but that was fine. After all, this opponent could endure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To keep her from enduring, it was best to make sure that enemy couldn’t touch her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That opponent only had one secondary thruster still functioning. The best option was to chew that up with secondary cannon fire and, if she still tried to fight back, hit her with a dragon cannon and settle things with more secondary cannon fire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nabeshima must have had the same idea.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her victory was assured. The method Nabeshima had chosen wasn’t typical for a mechanical dragon, but…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
… &#039;&#039;Good one!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just as Asano was confident Nabeshima had won, she saw something.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A figure was standing up within the scattering light and lingering light below the mechanical dragon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Something was there that shouldn’t have been.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Satomi President’s god of war was located directly below Unambitious.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was damaged, pieces of its armor were missing, and its external components had been destroyed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But it was intact.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The blue god of war &#039;&#039;stood&#039;&#039; in the night sky with all its main parts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;How?&#039;&#039; wondered Nabeshima, eyes wide.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The god of war was there. The Satomi President’s blue craft was below her with some armor missing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;No,&#039;&#039; she thought.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Strictly speaking, it wasn’t below her. It was about two steps closer to her belly than it had been when she fired her dragon cannon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;How?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then she noticed the light at the god of war’s feet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She knew what that pale light was.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“A Far Eastern defense barrier!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The blue craft stood on footing created by stacking several torii-style sign frames.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The enemy had coordinated with the Musashi to escape Nabeshima’s dragon cannon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Musashino bridge was full of automata, but it was filled with an air of relief.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While they all seemed to relax, “Musashino” spoke.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I am glad we made it in time. But I have to say this was surprising. Who would think…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Who would think…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That Yoshiyasu-sama would ask us for assistance? Would this be the first time she has asked for someone to intervene in one of her battles? Over.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Is it?” said Suzu as she inserted defense barriers below the model Righteousness’s feet. “We’ve fought together…plenty of times before.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yoshiyasu was always saving them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Suzu thought of her as a reliable ally. But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Maybe she used to do everything on her own…but not anymore. If she were alone…she wouldn’t have been able to liberate Kantou. So…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So &#039;&#039;Yoshiyasu-san&#039;&#039; understands. She knows that…she can ask for help…when it really matters and she can’t do it on her own.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yoshiyasu had sent word just before she was hit by the Azuchi’s artillery. Suzu didn’t really understand it, but apparently god of war pilots could enter a state of highly concentrated time and she had sent the text from there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Give me a platform.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But it was enough. Because she knew Musashi would respond.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And once they responded, she would use that response to claim victory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They had that bond of trust. So Suzu had created the platform and hurriedly applied it several times over.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She accurately prepared the platform 20cm to the side of the dragon cannon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Far Eastern defense barriers were the damping type, so they wouldn’t break until they had received a set amount of damage. Since the start of the Iga Crossing, Yoshiyasu had used defense barrier platforms like this to save the people thrown off the ship. That had to have been her inspiration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yoshiyasu-san.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Suzu spoke her name before moving a certain model.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mechanical dragon that had fired its dragon cannon and was now firing its secondary cannons. It was heavy and its falling speed had been reduced by the recoil of its various cannons, but it still had the speed it had used to pursue Righteousness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its body was extended vertically after firing the dragon cannon. So…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Go!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nabeshima saw something as she poured power into the foreleg thrusters to evade.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She saw the unarmed blue god of war draw a blade against her as she fell.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Where did she have that equipped!?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The sheath had been destroyed along with its connector unit. She had been holding it during the aerial battle afterwards, but she had switched to wielding the pseudo-anti-ship cannon after abandoning her flight unit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What had changed between then and now?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The secondary thruster!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of the secondary thrusters equipped on the god of war’s hip wings had stopped moving. That hadn’t been the result of Asano’s artillery fire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Did she sacrifice it by stabbing her sword into it!?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was insane.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It must have been an ad lib, but one she had deemed necessary at the time. You could say her refusal to abandon her sword showed some forethought, but it had still been a horrendous choice to make.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The same was true of throwing her rifle into the air and catching it again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Either she had decided it was worth doing at the time, or the god of war had automatically chosen that as the optimal answer based on her past actions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But in either case, it was too reckless.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was the result of short-term thinking. She was only considering what would get her through her immediate bind and hoping she could immediately retrieve the weapon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And yet…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“––––”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unambitious’s foreleg thrusters shined bright in an attempt to evade. But it wasn’t enough.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It had extended its body for the dragon cannon, but it couldn’t pull itself back soon enough.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nabeshima had dived toward her opponent with all her weight and speed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But the god of war had a fixed altitude thanks to the damping gravity barrier platform it had used to avoid the dragon cannon, and it had also drawn its sword.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Their positions meant the mechanical dragon was approaching the god of war and it was exposing its extended belly to that opponent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Reached you,” said Nabeshima, trying to aim her secondary cannons toward the god of war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She worked the controls, throwing her entire body into evasion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“And I won’t give up!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A moment later, as the god of war passed by, it swung its sword up from below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The blade, nearly as long as the god of war was tall, drew out an arc and sliced into the bottom of the mechanical dragon’s throat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No matter what!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mechanical dragon’s own momentum bisected its underside from throat to hip.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yoshiyasu watched the great mass fall before her eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mechanical dragons contained a lot of internal pressure. Following the cut, its lubrication, circulation, and fuel systems violently ruptured, triggering further small explosions across its body. Each part was quickly shut down to seal and cut off the fluids, but…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That dragon can no longer manage combat maneuvering.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Slicing the throat prevented it from firing a dragon cannon. The main thrusters on its wings were off limits thanks to slicing through its underside. If it tried, its entire body would rupture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The battle was over. This battle anyway. And Yoshiyasu realized something.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Defense barriers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Defense barriers had opened around her, stopping several bullets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mechanical dragon had fired its secondary cannons at the last second, but additional defense barriers sent by the Musashino bridge had kept them form hitting her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She hadn’t asked for that. It must have been a free service.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below, she saw an especially bright flash of light and heard an explosion. The mechanical dragon’s rear thrusters had exploded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So I endured. No, I was saved.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even as she spoke, the defense barriers below her feet broke and vanished.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“––––”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was a combat airspace, but a transport ship had arrived below to retrieve her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She used her remaining thruster to descend just a bit slower than free fall even as she realized she could remain on the battlefield.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Well, that’s nothing new.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was in her nature to not see this as a win. But she had relied on others this time. To show her appreciation to them, she raised her voice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The enemy commander Nabeshima Naoshige has been defeated!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“She seems to be doing well,” muttered Naomasa amid the wind and noise.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They were currently sending out the transport ships docked with the Musashi or stored within it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was letting the others handle the adjustments in the engine room while she operated one of the transport ships.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She stood on its deck and guided it along a safe route below or between the Musashi’s ships.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Moving up into the sky or to the outer edge of the ships would place her in the battlefield. Even with combat armor installed and defense barrier capability, moving out front would be a bad idea unless she wanted to act as a shield.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Besides, this artillery fire is a real pain to deal with.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Azuchi’s attack was cleverly done.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Reports from a few different battlefields said the Azuchi’s artillery would change depending on how it was being guided. Instead of simply destroying or controlling crucial locations, the artillery would work in coordination to defeat several different points.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The skill of the artillery here proved that to be true.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Musashi was responding, but the Azuchi’s artillery would alter its density between different points as if toying with them. This acted as a feint or diversion, so the Azuchi’s fire control had to be commanded by personnel with some kind of special spell or training.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So Naomasa had to respond.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The locations being targeted were at risk. Dedicating personnel to intercept the artillery fire was a loss in and of itself, plus it probably wouldn’t be all that effective.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So instead of fighting back from the areas being targeted, the Musashino bridge had decided it was better to let the defense barriers handle it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the Musashino bridge focusing on defense in those places, those who needed to fight could continue doing so in positions that gave them an advantage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Musashino:&#039;&#039;&#039; “This is damage control. By compensating for those important points, we can continue fighting. Over.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Masazumi and Neshinbara had agreed to the tactic suggested by the Musashino bridge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Novice:&#039;&#039;&#039; “The Musashi has already entered Osaka Bay. Instead of placing our people where we are hurting the most, we should place them where they will have the greatest advantage. That will provide a better message for the Europeans watching.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Art-Ga:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Ohh, that’s the thought process of the kind of guy who makes a big pile of the book that isn’t selling at the event.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Naomasa didn’t quite follow, but apparently that was how it worked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyway, it was just about time they settled things with the Azuchi. Their lives would matter most then, so people had to be evacuated from the areas deemed dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;And if it comes to it, they need to be evacuated to another ship or location entirely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was why she was arranging the transport ships. They were also carrying supplies and materials, but they held a different meaning for her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“There you are.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She looked down from the transport ship’s deck.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shells were crisscrossing and defense barriers shattering down below. She was used to all the noise now. A spell made an adjustment as the cacophony rattled her body.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her attention was on the opponent her eyes had landed on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I was waiting.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The black god of war was Hidamari Genbu, one of the Four Sacred Beasts.&lt;br /&gt;

==Story Synopsis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the distant future, Earth has been devastated and its inhabitants seek a new home in the heavens. However, constant warfare forces humans to return to Earth, which has turned into an uninhabitable planet except for a certain area called the Divine States.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Divine States are too small to accommodate all the humans, so they duplicated the area and created the Harmonic Divine States. In order to retrace their steps and rediscover their journey to the heavens, the returned humans began to reproduce history from the year 10,000 BC, using a mysterious history book called Testament.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
History reproduction proceeds smoothly until A.D. 1413, when a war broke out in the Divine States. This causes the Harmonic Divine States to crash onto the original world. The humans living in the Harmonic Divine States lose their land and invade the original world. The people of the Divine States surrender and they are divided by the invaders from the Harmonic Divine States. They try to resume the reproduction of history from A.D.1457, but the update of history terminates in A.D.1648. A rumor of apocalypse begins to spread around the world.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Chapter 29: Resolute Ones in a Place of Inheritance==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Horizon10B_p0155.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Why did we choose&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;That place&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;That time&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Those people&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;And the rest?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Point Allocation (Best and Worst)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asama realized she was surrounded by silence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She first cleared her throat, held her hands out to the others around her, and took a breath.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I think we all have some questions. Okay?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Heh heh heh. Maybe you got priority if you had big boobs?” suggested Kimi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But then how did Mito get in!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Silver Wolf:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Why the personal attack!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asama wondered how the selection was made, but it may have been something terribly simple. In other words…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Was everyone except us lost?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That was part of it,” said a voice over the divine transmission. It was Hirano atop the Azuchi’s bridge. “A lot of you were lost, but the rest declined. Because while Avalon had a fair amount of space, only so many people could live there.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Silver Wolf:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Wait a moment. I understand Mary and Tomo. The former was the mother of England’s heir and the latter was an ether and spell specialist. But why me? If you wanted a Loup-Garou, wouldn’t my mother be the better choice?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Still Got It:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Yes, which must mean I died protecting you during the final battle.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Black Wolf:&#039;&#039;&#039; “No, I was told you declined and chose to enjoy your life with mother’s father until the moment the world disappeared.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That sounded like her. And it explained why Mitotsudaira was there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Black Wolf:&#039;&#039;&#039; “You were invited as the Reine des Garous, mother. You could not transform, but it was unclear if I could either. So if either of us did have a Loup-Garou’s power as a manifestation of fear, it was hoped that would have some use in a world where destiny had died. I was told the idea was for you to draw on that power.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tsurugi:&#039;&#039;&#039; “My mother and Kiyomasa’s mother said they felt much more at ease with Kasuya’s mother with them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Gold Mar:&#039;&#039;&#039; “So it was her connections.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Silver Wolf:&#039;&#039;&#039; “I-I was their leader!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Probably so. If this was true, Asama could predict a lot must have happened at the time. And as for herself…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;We had our children with us, but it would have been rough with only Mary and me knowing the truth!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Adding a third didn’t eliminate that problem, but the extra opinion allowed for mediation or a third-party decision when two of them disagreed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But in that case…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Did we arrange to send you all here?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asama considered the possibility.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of the myths of the Age of the Gods, which had been passed down to the current day as the subject of games and books, provided a definition for the state of the world. It said the world looped in a great many ways, but it ended with a certain rule.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;The world can’t be rewound.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Looking at the loop on the largest scale, the moment the loop began was fixed and singular. So even if everything seemed to loop on a smaller scale, the world as a whole could not return to its original state.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And this time, the Apocalypse was thinning the ley lines. Time was thinning out, not turning to zero, so this would not create a loop with with an endpoint at time zero.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In that case, the most they could manage was individual time travel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was often reported as a mysterious phenomenon, so it was said time had a variable structure in the ley lines, as opposed to being a one-way road.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But could it be done intentionally?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kiyo-Massive:&#039;&#039;&#039; “It wasn’t something we asked for. All we had in Avalon was the false time field that took destiny’s place and the ‘prayer garden’ that expanded it. Because if the thinning of the ley lines had stopped with destiny’s death, then the ether in the ley lines could be restored by filling them with External Blessings.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Wait a moment,&#039;&#039; thought Asama. People’s Blessing capacity could be increased, but how much would you need to boost your External Blessings in order to restore the ley lines like that?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Asama:&#039;&#039;&#039; “That would require near-infinite time! Not to mention that people need ether to maintain their own bodies! And what if the balance between the supply and consumption of Avalon’s internal resources collapsed as it grew and the amount it could supply dropped!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tsurugi:&#039;&#039;&#039; “That’s why.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This came from the girl calling herself Asama’s daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tsurugi:&#039;&#039;&#039; “One day, the three of you passed all this knowledge on to us and told us everything would be alright. It was the day of our group birthday. We all celebrated together and they insisted we were safe and everything would work out. And…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asama didn’t need to hear the rest. She had already hinted at the answer herself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But Hirano still said it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tsurugi:&#039;&#039;&#039; “The following morning, just when we thought we could begin enjoying our life without our previous worries, we realized the three of you were gone. The ether and resource consumption balance had collapsed, so to reduce the consumption, you left Avalon.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;How foolish…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mitotsudaira gasped and realized Kasuya was hanging her head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You left letters. Thanking us for the time we had together. And telling us we would be alright without you. Saying you had taught us everything we needed to know and that you would still be with us in our memories.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I wanted you to stay with us!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tsurugi:&#039;&#039;&#039; “We cried our eyes out, rolled around on the ground, threw up, and read each other the letters we were left. We read them over and over and over again, but that only made us sad, frustrated, and angry. We asked ourselves what we had done wrong…and for several days we just lay there like we were dead.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hirano recalled that time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tsurugi:&#039;&#039;&#039; “But we couldn’t do that forever, so we began praying and storing up External Blessings. And once we began sending our Blessings outside of Avalon, we noticed something. A will called to use from the ley lines our ether had helped recover.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;AnG:&#039;&#039;&#039; “It was kind of horrifying.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was. After all, they had thought it was the grudge of those who were no more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But when they examined it, they discovered they were wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tsurugi:&#039;&#039;&#039; “In the past, someone extracted the future and tried to learn of it, but failed and was consumed by the Double Border Crest. But the Double Border Crest was gone. So we wondered if we could access them and reach them in place of the destiny that caused the Double Border Crest.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tsurugi:&#039;&#039;&#039; “We included our own data in the External Blessings being used to recreate the outside world. We only had to endlessly repeat the process as we created the world anew. With some luck, someone in the past would notice it. And…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The rest happened so suddenly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Instead of using the lernen figur, she said this part with the voice that sounded so like her mother’s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The next thing we knew, we had been extracted into this world. But destiny noticed and closely monitored us.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What do you say?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mitotsudaira listened to Kasuya.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Mother. Are you really going to repeat what you did to us?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Wow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Naito inwardly pursed her lips. &#039;&#039;This is a little heavier than I’d expected.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It required an “if it’s actually real” qualifier, but the Contradiction Allowance meant anything could happen in this world. Impossibilities were an impossibility. From that point of view…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I have a question.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yoshiaki tilted her head, so Naito didn’t hesitate to ask.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Have you considered the possibility you were all brainwashed to think this?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We have.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Testament,” confirmed Wakisaka next to Yoshiaki. But the black Technohexen then shook her head. “Unfortunately, both Angie and I have managed some ‘prophecy’.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yeah,” said Naruze with a nod. “If you were brainwashed, you couldn’t predict the unknown future.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Testament. It included small things like how middle school went for all of you or what the Reine des Garous was up to and big things like what Hexagone Française would do or when Tres España would get a new Vice President. It even included information about products.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We were all told different things by our parents’ generation. Hirano in particular knew a lot about Shinto, so she did a lot of research.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But taking that too far would make the Double Border Crest show up.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That’s right.” Yoshiaki and Wakisaka both nodded. And, “Testament. In our case, our mothers were both born in different villages.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Naruze’s wings bristled as she listened to Wakisaka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Uh, oh.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just as Naito was about to interrupt, Yoshiaki held out a hand as if to protect Wakisaka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Sorry. You still haven’t returned there from Musashi at this point, have you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This meant they knew they had stepped on a landmine there and they knew the reason why. Yoshiaki’s words showed definite concern for them and, at the same time, Naruze took a slow breath and relaxed the tension in her shoulders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ohh, Ga-chan, you’ve matured so much.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We are in front of our children.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then Naito noticed Wakisaka looking at them. And…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“–––––”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A single tear fell from the girl’s eye.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Oh, whoops,&#039;&#039; thought Angie. &#039;&#039;That looked bad.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yoshiaki had to be holding in a lot of feelings too, so Angie felt bad letting hers show. &#039;&#039;I’ve been too easy on myself recently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But this was bad. Or rather, it was cheating. The last time they had seen their mothers was before entering Avalon, so their mothers had still been young when they said goodbye. So…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s the same, Kime-chan.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She recalled when they had said goodbye. The two of them had cried, so their mothers had hugged them until their tears finally dried. They said they would stay like that night after night if that’s what it took, which was when the two of them had known it was finally time to say goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They couldn’t stay together forever. Their mothers knew that too, so…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Your wings are just like ours down to the feather. So when you miss us and want to talk with us, just touch your own wings. You already know what it is we’ll say, don’t you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yes,” they had replied. “You always get upset and lecture us, but…you listen to us and you’re so kind to us.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Then remember that when you touch your wings. That’s where we will live from now on.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Live?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yes, we will be with you even if we aren’t physically there. …The last place in this world we will remain is in your wings.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So will you take us someplace safe?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They thought they were being tricked, but it also felt true.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When they hesitated, their mothers hugged them, called them “good girls”, and…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We will always be holding you in our arms. Through these wings.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was when one of their mothers had spoken.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ohh, Ga-chan, you’ve matured so much.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We are in front of our children.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The comment and the reply had just been perfectly recreated, which led Angie to a new realization.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Their mothers had also been crying back then. They hadn’t realized it at the time and had entered Avalon while telling themselves they had to be as strong as their mothers. But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Don’t do that.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Angie wiped her tears away with her left wrist as she spoke.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Why would you say goodbye if it made you so sad!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Oh, no,&#039;&#039; thought Yoshiaki.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She wasn’t faring much better herself. She knew Angie wasn’t going to lose control here, but everything had been leading up to this point. There was no way they could suppress their feelings here, but they also wanted to avoid letting this become an ignition point.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;This isn’t good,&#039;&#039; she thought, but she still managed to retain some calm thanks to Weiss Fürstin in her left hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Taking on their fully-equipped mothers with only a badly damaged schale besen would be difficult. The Azuchi’s artillery was at full operation, so they could rob their mothers of some mobility by flying into the combat zone, but…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;I want to avoid flying into battle at less than my best.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That part of her felt terribly cold, but it was what it was.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They had come to this world because they couldn’t afford to lose what needed protecting, but now they were uncertain what to do about the very people they wanted to protect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yoshiaki knew she and Angie couldn’t make the decision. Angie was close to losing control and Yoshiaki had gone too far in rationally suppressing her feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What about the others? &#039;&#039;Oh, right. Katagiri already lost.&#039;&#039; But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“––––––”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She realized their black mother was looking at them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Naruze wanted to ask something.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a pure question of curiosity as a Technohexen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Whose brooms are those?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ours. When they learned the world was ending, Edel Brocken gave us some gear since we would be the final Technohexen.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Are you working with Edel Brocken here?” asked Margot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yoshiaki nodded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We managed to contact them through M.H.R.R. It was hard to explain, but they’re treating this as top secret information.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Judge,&#039;&#039; thought Naruze.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I bet the second form they gave us about a year into our testing was made to compete with your engineering team.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That meant there was competition within Edel Brocken. But in that case…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We’ve already been saved by you once.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We would’ve been in trouble at the Armada Battle without that second form. …Did we rely on England in your version?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yes, that’s what we heard. And the second form was developed in a hurry afterwards. So…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Naruze knew what Yoshiaki was going to say.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;She wants to use that as a reason to end our conflict.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Those two didn’t want to fight with them. Now that the truth was known, there was no reason to stop Musashi by force. But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Gold Mar:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Ga-chan? I’ve already decided on my answer.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Art-Ga:&#039;&#039;&#039; “So have I, Margot. An answer that makes us feel so in sync I want to hold your hand.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then they had their answer. Or rather, they already had. They had made up their minds from the moment they heard those two speak. So…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Art-Ga:&#039;&#039;&#039; “What about the others? Have they chosen a stance?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tenzou felt a little awkward.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;This is a disaster…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A mother and her daughter. Plus the father. Their first real meeting happening below flying shells and shattering defense barriers was incredible enough, but the daughter continued to pursue him no matter how far he fled. Which could only mean…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;She holds one hell of a grudge…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Which made sense to him. He could easily imagine Mary had become an excellent mother in the future. Her daughter would naturally have adored Mary, so seeing Mary constantly worried about him when he was already gone must have heartbreaking for the daughter who was still alive and with her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Me:&#039;&#039;&#039; “And when the husband her beloved mother was obsessed with was some NPC ninja, she’d be pretty worried her mother was the victim of brainwashing or hypnotism.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Wise Sister:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Heh heh. Imagine being shown a picture of him and told ‘this is your father’. You’d be like, ‘why doesn’t he take his hat off’?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Unturning:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Why does the 1st Special Duty Officer dress like that? Does he have zero fashion sense?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;10ZO:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Not only are you reading my mind, but that last comment was completely uncalled for!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But that was the gist of it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He decided to let Mary decide how to dress him for his funeral portrait, but he still had a question.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Um, may I ask something?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kiyomasa, her shoulders heaving from the her series of attacks, gave him a narrowed look in return.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But after a glance at Mary, she looked at him again, and…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What might that be?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Judge. …You are, well, Mary-dono’s daughter and you are here now to stop us, correct?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Testament. …I would prefer not to fight, which is why I am giving you time now. If anything, you could say giving you time was the natural thing to do…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I see,” he said with a nod.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He realized Mary was looking at him and tilting her head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What…are you getting at, Master Tenzou?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, um, Mary-dono… This Kiyo- Katou-dono here…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You can call me Kiyomasa. Because we have two Katous.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kiyomasa’s bluntness made him sweat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;This is so awkward!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He had felt this before. Not with Kiyomasa, but with girls in general. Yes, it was like they gave him a mental cold sweat. He had gotten used to girls recently thanks to Mary, but this reminded him just how dangerous they could be. Mary was a special case. They were normally more like this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Art-Ga:&#039;&#039;&#039; “What did you do?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Gold Mar:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Broke through the second floor and fell all the way down onto a landmine at the foundation?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Worshiper:&#039;&#039;&#039; “If this gets too awkward for you, you can always come help clean up my stand.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;10ZO:&#039;&#039;&#039; “W-well, this one is my fault, so I just have to deal with it!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That aside, he was a little curious about something.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Um, so in general you don’t want to fight with Mary-dono?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Including himself along with Mary there felt like it would only further aggro her, so he chose his words carefully. And Kiyomasa nodded in response.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That has always been my stance. Our intention has always been to stop our mothers.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;In that case,&#039;&#039; he thought as he decided to ask.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But when you attacked at Mito, didn’t you launch a serious attack against Mitotusdaira-dono? That was clearly enough to kill, which seems to go beyond simply ‘stopping’ her.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That was…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kiyomasa paused there and averted her eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I had heard Musashi’s Vice Chancellor and 5th Special Duty Officer were tough and I got a little carried away in the heat of battle…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I can’t help but notice she isn’t denying my accusation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tachibana Wife:&#039;&#039;&#039; “I knew the Mito Lord possessed Loup-Garou toughness, but I wasn’t aware the enemy assumed she could shrug off that spear blast.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Silver Wolf:&#039;&#039;&#039; “I would be very dead if that hit me!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Still Got It:&#039;&#039;&#039; “My!? What are you saying, Nate! No daughter of mine should let a little thing like being vaporized kill her!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Flat Vassal:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Can you really scold someone into not dying?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;This is terribly complicated, isn’t it?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asama kept some attention on the others behind her while she focused on Hirano atop the Azuchi’s bridge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They were something of an anomaly below the artillery fire and shattering defense barriers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hirano sent an intent gaze her way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A glare.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asama could believe Hirano was his and her child. Through training and her Konoha prosthetic eye, she could visually detect ether and the ether light of Hirano’s breaths was almost identical to Asama’s own.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each shrine taught its own breathing technique. They were designed for reciting the prayers meant for that shrine’s god and each god had their own preferred rhythm and sounds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hirano was the Tsurugi Shrine’s representative, yet the ether light visible from her breathing was nearly the same as Asama’s. Asama didn’t know if that was just how the Tsurugi Shrine did things, if she was doing it for Asama to see, or if she led the Tsurugi Shrine with that breathing technique, but…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;If she can lead the Tsurugi Shrine with a breathing technique not designed for it, she must be very skilled.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By Asama’s estimation, that was the most likely option. But Hirano still showed no intent to attack. If the initial shot had been to draw Asama’s attention…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Is accepting the Genesis Project the only way to avoid fighting?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The vocal technique used for Shinto prayers could travel far even on a battlefield and another shrine maiden would know how to hear it. Hirano nodded and responded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Because you weren’t enough.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“And…you’re certain it isn’t worth another try?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hirano paused before finally nodding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You told me,” she said, “that your archery had no effect in that battle.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Gold Mar:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Ahhhhh! We’re screwwwwwed!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Art-Ga:&#039;&#039;&#039; “When it was about us, it didn’t seem all that bad, but if an attack like that doesn’t work, what can we do but despair?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Asama:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Y-you two are making fun because you think this doesn’t involve you, aren’t you!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Silver Wolf:&#039;&#039;&#039; “But in all seriousness, what kind of battle would render &#039;&#039;that&#039;&#039; ineffective?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kiyomasa accepted Hirano’s words.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;That aligns with what my mother told me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The other side is guaranteed to be superior. Which means…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seeing Caledfwlch raised in Kiyomasa’s hand, her mother raised her eyebrows a little.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Did Excalibur not work either?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“They are always superior. And when you brought back both Ex. Collbrande and Ex. Caliburn, you remade them into Caledfwlch. So…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It had been too late to help her mother, but Kiyomasa now held what she had inherited from her mother.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“When it was developed, it was known as a third Excalibur: Ex. Caledfwlch.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;I never imagined I would battle against my mother’s Ex. Collbrande.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few pieces of equipment had been extracted from Avalon and brought here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because that equipment had been used as a focal point when creating their External Blessings or because it had been stored in a phase space allotted to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Excalibur resonated with itself. As her mother’s half blade and the other half next to her approached Kiyomasa’s Caledfwlch, a clear, metallic sound rang incessantly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Is that a sign I have met my family?&#039;&#039; she wondered, until…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Novice:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Wait! As I listened to you, a possibility and question occurred to me! So let me speak!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A vocalized chat message played from her mother’s lernen figur and the one next to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Musashi’s Secretary had made a mess of things with Takenaka. Kiyomasa couldn’t imagine he would have a reasonable opinion, but maybe that was why it was worth hearing. So…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;AnG:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Is this even worth hearing?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Oh, Wakisaka-sama is so harsh…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because Wakisaka’s mothers hadn’t been allowed inside Avalon, there had been a time when she kept her distance from those whose mothers had been allowed in. She had eventually gotten over it and, after their mothers disappeared, it was she who had soothed the others who were furious about being placed in the same situation as her. The same was true of Yoshiaki, but that may have been why she saw nothing special about the people of this era who weren’t their mothers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They had made a lot of new discoveries about each other this night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But the Musashi Secretary spoke all the same.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Novice:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Right here and now, Ariadust-kun and Aoi-kun are alive when they were meant to die at Mikawa! And you are here too! That means things have already changed from the failed pattern you knew! And you also have your Future Gear made with technology beyond the reach of our era!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Unturning:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Future Gear?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Novice:&#039;&#039;&#039; “You don’t like that name!? Then we can call them Disfortune Weapons!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Scarred:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Um, do you mean ‘misfortune’?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Horizey:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Which is worse, this or the Judgment Weapons?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Novice:&#039;&#039;&#039; “D-dammit, you’re strict! But that’s not the main point! Stop getting distracted!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Neshinbara spoke as he rode the long block elevator from the belowdecks disposal facility up to the surface. Those who had finished their tasks were in the habit of waiting near the surface or hatches on the outer sides in case of danger. He decided he should rejoin Honda and the others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Novice:&#039;&#039;&#039; “The battle-ready personnel available to us, including the Ten Spears, would be greater than in the failed future, even if only by a small amount! And with gear built in the future, we have even more strength with which to combat destiny!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What did that mean? The answer was obvious.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Novice:&#039;&#039;&#039; “So there is a chance we can win! Yes, we can win because you Ten Spears arrived in this era!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kiyomasa raised her left forearm, which held Caledfwlch, so Mary prompted her to continue by holding her right hand out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Go ahead.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, testament. Your Secretary’s idea…would not work.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why not? When Mary gave her a curious look, Kiyomasa looked her back in the eye and answered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Destiny still lives in this era. She is already aware of us, so if we engaged in a battle against destiny, it would include counterparts for us.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“And there is no way to escape destiny’s grasp?’&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Testament.” Kiyomasa nodded. “That was the point of Avalon. …Once destiny had died, we could begin restoring the world without destiny interfering. And we tried to stop destiny’s suicide and execute her instead, but destiny wanted a slow suicide, so she still wouldn’t accept it. That is why destiny found us and placed us under strict observation. So if we did begin a battle against destiny…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You would be the first ones targeted, or there would at least be perfect countermeasures for you?” asked Tenzou.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was what Kiyomasa had tried to say before.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Without even looking Tenzou’s way, Kiyomasa nodded, her eyes still on Mary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We can’t win. But…the Genesis Project can execute destiny now that it has been remade using the information we provided.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But the Genesis Project will erase our relationships and the rules of this world, won’t it?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Testament. Not just our relationships but all the connections in the world will be broken and lost, throwing us into a world with no civilization, culture, or understanding of anything,” said Kiyomasa. “In the Book of Genesis, god destroys the Tower of Babel and makes the people all speak different languages. The same thing will happen here, but humanity has already made it this far once.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A breath.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The code name for the remade Genesis Project is Over Babel. The project is meant to allow humanity to progress beyond the broken Tower of Words.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Horizey:&#039;&#039;&#039; “My awful father is again bringing shame to our family with the names he gives things!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Asama:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Let’s see, there was the Logismoi Oplo, the Judgment Weapons, the Genesis Project, and now Over Babel. Did I miss anything?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Gold Mar:&#039;&#039;&#039; “I feel bad saying it, but isn’t Horizon a wild thing to name your daughter?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Horizey:&#039;&#039;&#039; “No, Naito-sama! There is a chance my mother named me, so we need to judge these things fairly!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Laborer:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Hey, at least those are all better than Disfortune Whatever-It-Was!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Novice:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Oh! Are you talking about me!? My ears are burning!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Art-Ga:&#039;&#039;&#039; “They literally will be if you don’t pay back the removal fee I paid for you at the last event.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So…you don’t think we can win?” Mitotsudaira asked Kasuya.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kasuya slowly raised her Argent Clous before quietly responding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“These wouldn’t be here otherwise.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“And we can’t accept what you’re telling us and then come up with a plan for fighting destiny?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Testament. You had a plan for battling destiny with the Logismoi Oplo, but you told us destiny was still superior to you. And that the Logismoi Oplo did not work.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Oh,&#039;&#039; she thought in realization. This girl standing before her said she was her and her king’s child. And Kasuya’s resignation was not hers alone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You gave up because we gave up, didn’t you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Testament. This all comes from you after you fought and lost. So nothing you say here, where you haven’t actually fought destiny, carries any weight.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kasuya smiled a little.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If the mother who was with us said what you are saying now, I could believe it. But…that isn’t how I remember it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hearing that, Mitotsudaira wondered if this girl really was an enemy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;She idolizes me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mitotsudaira had always thought of the Hashiba forces as an enemy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No, they really had been an enemy. But she now realized that their motivation was not based in hostility.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They were trying to stop Musashi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But not because of the conflict between the Genesis Project and Musashi’s Apocalypse solution.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They simply wanted to prevent their mothers and everything else from being lost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It felt more like a difference in opinion among allies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And Musashi didn’t have sufficient reason to defy them. From what Mitotsudaira had heard…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We have no reason to defy the Genesis Project and support our own method beyond ‘it’s worth a shot’.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Testament. That is true.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;This is a tough one,&#039;&#039; thought Mitotsudaira before…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Musashi:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Everyone, we will soon enter Osaka Bay. The battle atop Oume is at a standstill, but will you be accepting Hashiba’s claims? Please make a decision soon. Over.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Time’s up then,&#039;&#039; thought Masazumi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Well, we know the situation now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not completely. And with was no guarantee it was true. But as a political card, the Ten Spears’ origin could be used against Musashi in negotiation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That means ensuring the Musashi’s freedom at least requires defeating Hashiba and showing the world their claims won’t stop us.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That would eliminate the suppressive effect caused by Hashiba’s presence and it would prevent future losses for Musashi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, Musashi currently had no way of stopping the Apocalypse. They knew the Logismoi Oplo wouldn’t work as they were, but they still hadn’t figured out what to do instead. They needed time to consider that problem, but they had to defeat Hashiba and the Genesis Project to get that time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Can we make peace and talk this out?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She doubted it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just as Kasuya Takenori had said, Hashiba’s motivation and purpose came from Musashi’s resignation after their loss in the future. That meant it was Musashi themselves who were motivating Hashiba. And all they could do now was pit their own ignorant perspective against their future selves’ knowledgeable perspective.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They had nothing to fight back with.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The only way to possibly make peace would be to accept Katagiri’s initial demand to suspend their officers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;But that would ultimately mean accepting the Genesis Project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In that case, there was only one way to combat Hashiba.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hmm,” she groaned before realizing something. “Hashiba certainly thinks highly of us, huh?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maybe it came from the fact that she didn’t have a child among them. She did feel a little disappointed about that, but it seemed to let her view this more objectively.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;The strength and caution Hashiba has dedicated to us comes from their high opinion of us.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They were an enemy, but they were motivated by their affection for Musashi. Their mothers were standing before them now, but their affection was likely for everything that had been lost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;What is this?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Who would have thought our class’s children would be so pure?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Art-Ga:&#039;&#039;&#039; “What are you talking about? I only ever draw pure things. The satisfaction on Asama, Mitotsudaira, or whoever’s face at the end is proof enough of that!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Asama:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Do you have to name actual examples!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Gold Mar:&#039;&#039;&#039; “She did say ‘or whoever’.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Worshiper:&#039;&#039;&#039; “It does seem these old hags were born to old hags and geezers who had a proper respect for the world.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;His 10+ rule is way too strict,&#039;&#039; thought Masazumi, but then the idiot chimed in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Me:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Hey, I just had a thought. Can I speak?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Is it a good idea? Then out with it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Me:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Well, not really.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The idiot explained.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Me:&#039;&#039;&#039; “If all this is true, then wouldn’t it have been easier to do it before the battle? Like wait for us near Honnouji or something.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Worshiper:&#039;&#039;&#039; “There Aoi-kun goes being strict on them again.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Me:&#039;&#039;&#039; “It just feels like going to the trouble of walking to the restaurant yourself when you could just order over divine transmission? I guess?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Gold Mar:&#039;&#039;&#039; “But if you visit the Blue Thunder – the non Main one – you can enjoy watching Horizon reign supreme. And at the Main one, you get served something not on the menu. They may be after something like that.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Horizey:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Yeahhhhhh! This means my very presence is equal to the products Toori-sama pours so much sweat and money into producing! How’s that for a powerful aura!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Unturning:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Aura?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Atop the bridge, Takenaka saw Hirano, Mitsunari, and “Azuchi” all turn a quiet look her way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She responded with her palms raised.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“In my defense, at the time I didn’t think they would listen to us. I mean, um, the moons were still out when we were hurrying to the Honnouji site, so we couldn’t actually tell them everything yet.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“They only showed an openness to listen when we made our circuit of Mikawa Bay, so I don’t think that battle and our current situation were a waste.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You have a point,” said Hirano. “But while the fighting did convince my mom to listen, she’s also extremely cautious of us. It’s hard to tell because she’s so busy guarding my dad, but I don’t think she would be so cautious if we hadn’t fought.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Black Wolf:&#039;&#039;&#039; “My and Kiyomasa’s teams might not have gotten injured either.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“W-well, I’m not really talking about those kinds of what ifs.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;The Boy:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Wait, everyone! Attacking Takenaka-senpai here isn’t fair!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Katagiri, who had apparently recovered, came to her defense.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Oh, thank goodness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He had been defeated in his confrontation with his mother and then recovered. Figuring that meant he could be more rational about this than the others, Takenaka directed a look of hope toward her lernen figur. And Katagiri…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;The Boy:&#039;&#039;&#039; “It’s true this operation was her idea and that she commanded it! But as she pointed out, this was a challenging situation to predict and it continues to change from one moment to the next. Now, analyzing these situations and coming up with a strategy is her job, so the fact that she failed to properly analyze this situation and allowed it to turn out this way is…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Five seconds passed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;The Boy:&#039;&#039;&#039; “What was she thinking?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kuro-Take:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Y-you can’t thoughtlessly betray me like this, Katagiri-kun!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At any rate, she knew what she had to say.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kuro-Take:&#039;&#039;&#039; “I doubt we have said everything we want to say, but we’ve said a fair amount of it, haven’t we? So now the ball is in their court.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;848:&#039;&#039;&#039; “What will they choose? Do you think they will simply do as we say?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kuro-Take:&#039;&#039;&#039; “My expert opinion is that I sincerely doubt it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Now, what to do?&#039;&#039; wondered Masazumi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Can I really make a political decision here?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This would be determining the future of the world, but it was also a family matter for each person involved. And the revelation that the idiot had multiple children felt more like a scandal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Oh, but Futayo’s case is probably different.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her daughter hadn’t been counted among the idiot’s children, so that one was probably safe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then there was the idiot and Horizon’s child, who had likely been born through a surrogate mother. Had that child vanished along with the Apocalypse?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;What a joyless story,&#039;&#039; she thought.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Hey, Aoi, what are we doing?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Me:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Hm? Isn’t it obvious?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The idiot continued.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Me:&#039;&#039;&#039; “My daughters are here from the future. If we stop the Genesis Project here, then that’s a plus for the world, including destiny and Nobunaga.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meaning…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Me:&#039;&#039;&#039; “If we’re doing this, I say we do what leaves us with as much as possible. …What’s there to think about?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;He’s right!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A laugh escaped Masazumi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was so simple. The question wasn’t which choice would preserve as much as possible – it was which choice would mean losing nothing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So their choice was obvious. She felt a little bad for the future-mothers, but…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Our goal is to lose nothing. And that includes Nobunaga and destiny. And with Hashiba here, we will search for a way to ensure none of it is lost. There is nothing more to it. Keep that in mind as you face us.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takenaka sighed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;I had a feeling this would happen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This confrontation didn’t happen in the original future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the Ten Spears’ world, Musashi had carried out the Genesis Project using the Logismoi Oplo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There had only been the one set and they had been guided toward the Genesis Project. Simply put, they had only needed to follow the path laid out for them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But after learning the truth, Matsudaira Motonobu had worked at correcting his project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That had created several distortions and prevented some things from happening the way were meant to, but it had perfected the Genesis Project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And, after including the unknowable factor of evolution, he had left his daughter with her Logismoi Oplo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“However, there is no guarantee that unknowable possibility will come to fruition.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
People would leap at that kind of hope and neglect to face reality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That wasn’t necessarily what Musashi was doing here. The future was an unknown, so there was a chance they could arrive at a correct answer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;But if they don’t…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takenaka’s analysis of the former world had shown her just how powerful a leader Musashi was. That came from the skill and growth of Vice President Honda Masazumi, who became their effective leader, but Takenaka guessed it was also strongly influenced by the presence of their lost Chancellor and princess.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was the same.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Chancellor gave his opinion and the Vice President acted on it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So you don’t want to lose anything?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Ten Spears had often expressed the same goal. Quite a few people had been taken by the Double Border Crest when destiny noticed what was happening, but a goal of not losing anything was still quite something.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But she couldn’t just accept that at face value right now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That’s a fantasy. A fantasy you have neither the skill nor the means of realizing.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They would take more than just high damage. They would take full damage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Oh world, what do you mean they’re going to die?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But that aside, there was nothing to do but give orders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kuro-Take:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Negotiations have failed, everyone.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her mother was not there. And she was glad of it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It let her stay objective and give orders with no emotions clouding her judgment. Testament. There was just one thing for the others to do here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kuro-Take:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Protect your loved ones. Because that is what you came here to do.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Mother.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kasuya heard the rapid sounds of erupting artillery and scattering wind in the sky behind her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was likely Yoshiaki and Angie battling their mothers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And that wasn’t all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had heard clashing swords from the Musashi’s second central ship for a while now. And similar metallic sounds came from the stern of the third port ship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the others began to fight, she released a breath.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ahead of her, her mother slowly readied her chains.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The silver chains. Four artifacts capable of conducting power. And…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ah.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She and her mother’s noses twitched as they sniffed at their surroundings. It was hard to tell aboard the ship, but…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;The Boy:&#039;&#039;&#039; “We have entered Osaka Bay!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They had left the Middle East and arrived in Europe. Which meant…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This battle is a global matter…no, I suppose it is more Eurocentric, but most of the world will still be watching.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What is your name?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The question came so suddenly she nearly answered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But after a pause, she shook her head in refusal. And after showing she wasn’t telling…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I will tell you if you defeat me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You’re a bold one.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Testament.” She answered in the affirmative this time. “I have grown quite strong, mother.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And she knew exactly what she would do with that strength.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I will stop you.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With that, she launched herself forward.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Chapter 3: The Watery Gnawer @ The Rending Pool==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 1===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The straitlaced sister, Betsuzaki Yuhi, was furious after being summoned by social media.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You are!! About to fight! One of those Malign Spirit monsters!! I am not letting you go into battle in a skimpy bikini, Onee-chan!!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yelling Yuhi was wearing a bright mint-green long-sleeve hoodie and dark gray shorts. Long sleeves weren’t well suited for New Sea City’s year-round midsummer weather. She also wore a thick belt covered in tools, so the outfit was probably related to a TV station.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But, Yuhi, do you have anything else for me to wear?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I borrowed a spare shrine maiden outfit from Yahirodono-san.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hell, yeah! Now I can finally look like a real pro just like Mugi- wait, it’s falling off of me???”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ugh!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I know it’s Japanese clothing, but I thought it’d be easier than a yukata or furisode cause it doesn’t have the thick obi.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The sisters couldn’t figure out where they had gone wrong, so they couldn’t make it look as nice as it did on the online shrine maiden. It would always open up in front like a bathrobe with an insufficiently tightened sash. Which left her exposed from head to toe. Japanese clothing really was a challenge. But she couldn’t exactly go back to the bikini, so she decided her usual modified short-sleeve sailor uniform would be safest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’m not sure this is safe either. Your belly is still showing, so it doesn’t offer much more defense than the bikini did.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hey, what’s that wonderful smell?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The sisters opened the door to the nap room (which seemed to function as a certain someone’s second bedroom) and emerged into the office.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was a detective agency and not a residence, but the kitchenette in one corner did have a cheap refrigerator, microwave, sink, and gas burner.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For some reason, the online shrine maiden was tearfully trembling over there. She seemed to have shrunk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Th-the curry is multiplying…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What? Like some kind of paranormal phenomenon?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There certainly was a lot of it. Far too much. There was enough curry for a school sports team’s training camp.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ ‘How to Make the Ultimate Curry Rice’. I made it exactly like it said to on Cookpod, so this has to be right. And yet…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rainy reached over and skimmed through the recipe on Tsumugi’s trifold phone, but she didn’t see anything out of the ordinary. So what had caused it to “multiply” like this?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Look here, Onee-chan.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yuhi pointed to the phone’s screen where something was written small in the corner.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Note: Makes enough for 15)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ugh… What, do they subscribe to the idea that curries and stews taste better when you make a ton of it in a giant pot?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gyaru sister stared into the middle distance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And on closer inspection, wasn’t this recipe based on the once-a-week aircraft carrier curry that the sailors always looked forward to? The kind where cooking a single batch made enough to feed 3000?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You could trust what Cookpod said if you liked, but you had to at least read the recipe thoroughly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hisame Kouga called for them, so the girls gathered in the reception area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They checked over the job while enjoying the allegedly “ultimate” curry rice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite being a complete amateur (or maybe because of it?) Rainy immediately raised her hand, leaned forward, and spoke.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Attention here, everyone! I’m going too! I’m going with you and that’s final. I mean, I’m your friend, so I can’t let this tiny (except in one way) shrine maiden go alone to some super dangerous haunted pool in the middle of the night!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Onee-chan has been like this for a while now, but what do you experts think?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If we left her behind, she would rush to the haunted pool on her own and get herself killed.” “If we left her behind, she would rush to the haunted pool on her own and get herself killed.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yeah, I supposed so.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yuhi’s shoulders slumped at the simultaneous response from the detective and the online shrine maiden.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hisame Kouga’s natural skills of perception had already revealed Rainy’s personality to him. With perfect accuracy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simply put, it would be safer for the overexcited gyaru sister if she was accompanied by someone who could deal with the ghost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With that settled, it was time for the meat of the discussion. The detective scooped up some curry in a spoon as he got started.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This job comes from the leisure pool’s chief guard.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I doubt the grownup management would &#039;&#039;officially&#039;&#039; acknowledge the existence of a Malign Spirit.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The online shrine maiden’s head tilt wasn’t her doubting the detective’s words. She was trying to decide if the early dinner of curry she was eating was really good enough to earn the qualifier “ultimate”. It wasn’t bad, but she had been expecting something more like an explosion of flavor in her mouth when she took the first bite.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The managers who never leave their fancy chairs may not, but this is a hired guard who actually patrols the place at night. He’s going to be afraid of the continuing rumors lending credence to the story of the Malign Spirit.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Um, even though he’s an adult?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The middle schooler’s honest question earned a bitter smile from the grownup detective.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“When you’re afraid, you’re afraid. It’s human nature. It isn’t something you grow out of. Reason and emotions are two separate things.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, so like how no matter how much effort you throw into sports, it’s never going to get rid of your sex dri- ow!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tears welled up in the gyaru sister’s eyes. The clear glass table meant everyone could see when her sister stomped on her foot. And the detective calmly ignored the quick exchange entirely. An impressive display of maturity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Whatever the higher ups might say, it’s up to him to keep himself safe. Just like checking for listening devices and inspecting so-called ‘sick buildings’, you can’t assume you’re safe just because you don’t see anything. The guards want to send in an expert and get their professional opinion. They want to be safe. Even if it costs them a fair amount of money.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since this was a job, they wouldn’t be illegally trespassing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They didn’t ask for anything more than that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi was most curious about something else.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What’s the star ranking?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Single Dread Star. The tentative name is apparently the Watery Gnawer. But these are both tentative, so don’t rely on them too much.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Both sisters tilted their heads together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They had been wondering about the ranking system. What made the number of stars rise or fall and who decided on the names? But explaining it to them wouldn’t actually change things any.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They only had to understand the goal here: crush and destroy the Malign Spirit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If nothing was done, the timid homeroom teacher would arrive at the haunted leisure pool for her patrol. And then she would die. But if the Malign Spirit were destroyed before the homeroom teacher arrived, she could be saved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or to put it another way: if they didn’t do this tonight, she would die.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Without a doubt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“One person has already died. We’re already running late. Don’t let even one more life be lost.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hisame Kouga glanced over at the gyaru sister before tossing over the old oil lighter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The online shrine maiden caught it in one hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Don’t worry. …I will settle this before it’s too late.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 2===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once night fell, Yahirodono Tsumugi, Betsuzaki Rainy, and Betsuzaki Yuhi got started.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of them, Tsumugi, changed into her shrine maiden outfit in the detective agency’s nap room and stepped out into the building hallway to find a group of small children gathered by the wall. The boy from the Forbidden Hands incident was among them. Also, the gyaru sister was there, but she probably didn’t count as a “small child”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hmm. I still have one barrier left over, so I’ll be careful and build up a combo.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That’ll take forever. Anyway, I pay a cost of 2 to activate my special which breaks through all your barriers with the fire element!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Gyahh! Why did you have my exact weakness ready to go, Miss Gyaru!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What are you doing?” nervously asked the shrine maiden from a distance and Rainy turned a pleased look her way after hitting the landlord’s (elementary school) daughter with a powerful attack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Having a trading card weak rare tournament. Everything but bottom-tier commons are banned☆”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…That sounded challenging in its own way. It had to take a lot of brainpower to do well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They said goodbye to the landlord’s daughter and the other children, who had apparently been at cram school and were now waiting for their parents to get home from work. Then they regrouped with straitlaced Yuhi and left the building. The detective was with them this time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“When did you make friends with those kids?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I don’t remember. I’ve just got this big sister aura that makes kids like me☆”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…What is that look for? You’re not counting &#039;&#039;me&#039;&#039; there, are you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The short (but busty) shrine maiden glared at Rainy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The detective would be driving them to the haunted Rending Pool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Come to think of it, is it okay to get your shrine maiden outfit wet? What about that thing tying your hair back that looks like a relay baton…um, whatever that traditional paper tube is called.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s called hosho paper. This is a city of sea and squalls, remember? It’s waterproofed, so there is nothing to worry about.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They chatted in the cramped vehicle while Tsumugi pondered the still-unseen Malign Spirit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The car’s only going to take you this far.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maybe it was classified as a kei truck or as a station wagon, but the detective stopped the small boxy vehicle at the curb. The small vehicle may have been easier to get around with the complex intertwining of land and water routes in New Sea City, but it felt like he had chosen this one intentionally. But just like with coffee, the girls didn’t know enough to say for certain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The straitlaced sister frowned.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wait, aren’t we going to the leisure pool? It’s still pretty far from here.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We have the Malign Spirit’s Groan to worry about. I chose a manual vehicle instead of a self-driving one, but it’s still full of electronics. The GPS system is glitching already, so getting much closer would brick the entire thing.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh… Then we couldn’t use an electric scooter or aquamobile to reach the haunted pool either. We’ll just have to hoof it then.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The online shrine maiden seemed accustomed to it. She silently exited the vehicle and the sisters hurried after her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was humid, but not all that hot. The city’s heat was likely being absorbed by the night breeze and the ocean waterways spread out like leaf veins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The detective rolled down the driver’s side window and called out to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Don’t die, okay?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You can count on it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In no time, the city was transforming into &#039;&#039;that sort of place&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They didn’t want a police officer questioning them, so the three girls stayed in the shadows as they moved. As if some invisible force were luring them into the depths of the darkness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gyaru sister spoke up while chomping on a fish sausage as a late-night snack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Tch. And after I went to the trouble of getting a swimsuit when I heard we’d be fighting in a pool. I’d been interested in that leisure pool for a while. Too bad this weird stuff is happening there.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was hard to tell if she was clueless or trying to distract herself from her fear. Tsumugi felt no desire to respond in earnest. Instead, she looked at her trifold phone and…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Why do you want to swim so badly? Doesn’t your family run in a seaside restaurant?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Sure does. On a super cheap coastal area full of small inns, BnBs, and souvenir shops. A stunning view completely manufactured by human hands! And since it’s home, it doesn’t work like a part-time job. If I’m just hanging out at home, I have to work for free with no time off. I hate the beach. Swim there and it damages your hair and skin! So what I want is to swim with everyone at a luxurious and fancy freshwater leisure pool!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yuhi would of course live in the same home, but she only shrugged. Of course the responsible one didn’t have any real complaints. Stating your personal opinions was not guaranteed to get a response out of everyone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Lady Nine Tails&amp;gt; …Destroying a human body with water, hm?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the online shrine maiden messed with her phone, she saw a comment from a busty nine-tailed fox woman wearing an oiran-style kimono. Of course, that was only a 3D avatar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The internet shrine’s chat page was constructed a lot like an online meeting room where a large number of people could enjoy pleasant conversation, but when speaking one-on-one, all the instruction windows left little room on the screen. But Tsumugi didn’t feel like unfolding the trifold phone into tablet mode right now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The woman’s screen name was Lady Nine Tails.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was one of the especially nasty occult freaks who hung out on the underground internet shrine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Lady Nine Tails&amp;gt; That is possible.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Other than using a metalworking machine that cuts it with ultra-high pressure water?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Lady Nine Tails&amp;gt; With ordinary free fall. It can easily happen from a large bridge or cliff. I won’t give any actual numbers because it isn’t a pleasant topic, but the medical world has a formula for calculating the odds of death based on body weight and fall distance. Quite precisely, I might add. Unlike in action movies when the hero jumps into a waterfall basin, a human will die if they hit the water after falling from a sufficient height. Generally, the impact knocks them out and they drown, but it is ultimately a matter of degree. Under the right conditions, you can even break bone.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Was she operating a shortcut key, or was she fidgeting in front of her monitor? In the small square frame, Lady Nine Tails squished a paper lantern balance ball with her kimono butt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Lady Nine Tails&amp;gt; However, this is a water slide built to national safety standards. I can’t say I have ever heard of pieces being torn from a human body after hitting the water at that speed and angle. It almost sounds like a scientific explanation, but it isn’t really one. Be careful. True hauntings do not noticeably oppose science. These vague gaps are where the real thing lurks. Secretly and unnoticed.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A fist-sized object emerged from a trash dump in the darkness and scurried between the gyaru sister’s legs. Rapidly. And furrily.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Pweeeee!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Scared and shrieking, Rainy froze helplessly in place before realizing the creature that had vanished into a sidewalk flower bed was a hamster.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The online shrine maiden didn’t even look up from her phone. She was busy speaking with Lady Nine Tails.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“A-a hamster? Stray hams are a thing!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Have you never paid any attention while walking around, Onee-chan? There are no natural wild animals on a collection of megafloats out in the ocean. Cats, rabbits, hamsters – we only have former pets and their offspring here.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That’s so adorable! Just one more reason to love New Sea City.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Lady Nine Tails&amp;gt; (By that logic, you can’t deny the possibility of giant crocodiles in the sewers.)”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Onee-chan, it might not be so cute in the future. Without the ordinary food chain in place, they could end up rapidly multiplying.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Lady Nine Tails&amp;gt; You could say the same thing about the occult.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the friendly sisters chatted, the online shrine maiden remained silent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With a population of a million and ten times that counting tourists, this was a large city, but it was only three years old. As a completely artificial structure with no history to it, it was a special environment that completely lacked any holy grounds such as Shinto shrines or Buddhist temples.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How would Malign Spirits grow and evolve in a twisted city with such thin spiritual defenses? There was no way to predict it because, even on a global scale, a place like this was unprecedented.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mutations were possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then the straitlaced sister made an exasperated comment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yahirodono-san, you shouldn’t walk around with your eyes on your phone.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Nh.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Lady Nine Tails&amp;gt; She’s right, you know? Don’t die a stupid death before even reaching the actual haunted pool, Miss Manager.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nothing any of them said stopped Tsumugi from staring at her phone’s screen. She grabbed the gyaru sister’s short-sleeve sailor shirt with her other hand and tugged it a few times.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What, you want me to guide you? Th-that’s so cute! You act like you don’t care about me, but you trust me this completely!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“(Huh? Is this cute creature threatening my position as the little sister?)”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, they arrived at the leisure pool in question.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was the haunted Rending Pool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The online shrine maiden finally looked up from her phone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’m hanging up.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Lady Nine Tails&amp;gt; Fine. Phones aren’t well suited for legit haunted locations anyway. Come back alive. I want to hear about this real haunting from my position of safety. I want to hear all about it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The back employee entrance was unlocked. Probably courtesy of the client. The chief guard. Shy Tsumugi greatly appreciated this kind of support that didn’t require direct contact.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gyaru sister, who tried to get as much direct contact as she could get, moved right up against the online shrine maiden.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apparently she was afraid.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ughhh. The atmosphere here is totally different. Maybe cause I already know someone died here.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi had just one warning for the girl who insisted on holding hands with her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I need to use my hands, so if you’re afraid, stay behind me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“D-d-d-d-don’t be absurd! You’re so little, so I need to protect you! I’m not afraid and I have a courageous heart, so my job is to stay up front as the tank!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Move. Are you trying to get us all killed? Staying in front of me just gets in my way.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They entered the facility through the back, but they didn’t see the pool itself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gyaru sister lamented (while trembling).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“One half of the facility is a huge commercial complex: a restaurant, a sauna, a sporting goods store full of swimsuits – they have tons of stuff there. Oh, I’m so jealous. I wish our restaurant could have anything even half that nice.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wouldn’t passing through there be the quickest way to the pool? See, look. It’s unlocked.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No, that wasn’t why the online shrine maiden had frowned.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But Rainy was right, so the trio followed that path.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The interior was filled with sweltering heat. The air conditioning inside may have been off because it was actually cooler outside. The air felt like being in a packed train or a bath.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Which created the illusion of human body heat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like they were being slowly crushed by some giant invisible bodily organ.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As they navigated the dark passageway with some help from their phones’ LED lights, a sudden light flashed from the wall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Dwabh!!? O-oh, it’s just a vending machine? My poor heart…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Onee-chan. It saves energy by only lighting up when someone is nearby.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Can’t breathe,” mumbled Tsumugi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because the terrified gyaru sister was holding her tight and pulling her head into her chest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This place was supposed to already be haunted, but the vending machine was still running. The effects of the Groan must have been uneven, maybe due to he great size of the facility when the outdoor pool was included.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also, a lot of paranormal phenomena could actually be reproduced using technology. Like strange noises coming from an empty room in the dead of night, a piano playing on its own, or a portrait’s eyes lighting up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“A-anything catch your attention, Mugikko?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This,” said the online shrine maiden, pointing to the floor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At a round mark about 8cm across. Like the stain left after a clear liquid dried.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yuhi tilted her head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“There’s a vending machine right here, so someone probably just dropped their drink and picked it up.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The size doesn’t match commercial drink cans and bottles. I can’t be certain, but I think it was a flower vase. Maybe they spilled some water when taking it away, but I detect a faint chrysanthemum scent.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A vase on the floor or ground. Had a guard or someone taken it away before the online shrine maiden arrived because it would look bad? That sounded plausible, but hadn’t the young woman been torn apart and killed in the pool? So why had the vase been left here?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Marks left by a dried liquid had left several lines on the floor. It must have dripped from somewhere. The online shrine maiden followed the dried stains with her eyes and found they led to a small shared office next to the vending machine. Most likely, something had oozed out from the gap below the frosted glass doo-&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::&#039;&#039;&#039;Kabam!!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Eek!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It wasn’t the gyaru sister this time. The straitlaced sister suppressed a shriek.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A human hand print appeared on the shared office door’s frosted glass. Did it come from the other side, inside the office? None of them dared move for a bit. They watched as they heard a sound like a finger scraping at the surface of some breath-fogged glass. Lines slowly formed in the glass. No, those were words being written out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Let………………me…………………out…………”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And then nothing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One second. Two. Three.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hweh? Wait, you’re actually opening the door!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ignoring Rainy’s attempts to physically stop her, Tsumugi grabbed the knob and threw the door open.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The room was empty.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The two meter space was completely deserted. The enclosed space must have made the air as damp as human breath, which slowly wafted out toward them. The straitlaced sister’s cheeks tensed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No way. Why isn’t there anyone in there? Then how do you explain the writing we just saw?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Th-there’s some color on the floor. Like it was peeled away.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gyaru sister, who was fearfully clinging to Tsumugi from the side, was right.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;Ou……ends……ea&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was nearly illegible, but there was some writing in a blocky bluish typeface meant for children.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was more of interest too. The online shrine maiden looked at her palm and then approached the frosted glass.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(It’s really low down? And this hand is so small. Which would mean…)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Y-Yahi-Yahirodono-san, that’s enough in here. I mean, we’re here for the pool! There’s no need to make any detours. Right?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The straitlaced sister was rushing her more than the gyaru sister.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But these things tended to catch the eye when you least wanted to find them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Salt,” muttered the online shrine maiden with a soft sigh.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was below a bench by the wall, where it was meant to go unnoticed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A small plate had two or three tablespoons of salt piled up on it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi had borrowed the oil lighter which could actually defeat a spirit, so she doubted this would accomplish much of anything. For one thing, salt only worked as a celebratory talisman when it had been purified first. There were many different ways of using it, so it wouldn’t necessarily be effective if you &#039;&#039;only&#039;&#039; set it out without the necessary knowledge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Th-there’s salt over here too.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Onee-chan. It’s everywhere, isn’t it? I’m seeing another pile each time we turn a corner.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…If the salt didn’t accomplish much of anything, then was the excessive amount of it a sign of just how anxious the person placing it out had been?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Looks like it’s been here a while.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wait, you can tell, shrine maiden?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It comes with the job.” The online shrine maiden pointed here and there. “Do you see how some of the salt looks brand new and some of it has begun to dissolve after its surface absorbed moisture from the air? From the look of it, the oldest ones were set out more than a month ago.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The straitlaced sister frowned.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Huh? But that would mean they were putting out salt before the deadly pool accident even happened.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then what had they been so afraid of that they began putting out all this salt?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gyaru sister considered it for a bit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wh-why did a Malign Spirit appear in the leisure pool to begin with? Do you think the managers would know?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And it would have to be something traumatic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They continued through the commercial complex, using the emergency exit lights to guide them. And Tsumugi grabbed the doorknob leading back outside.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The door clanked and resisted her attempt, so she frowned.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It won’t open?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Next to the door was a keypad with the numbers 0-9. One of the silver latch types seen on the doors leading to a train station office. Was this door locked on the inside meant to protect the routes leading to the courtyard-like outdoor pool after hours?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The buttons were gray and not lit up, but there were enter and cancel buttons in addition to the numbers. That suggested it was an electrical device, but they had already seen the earlier vending machine working.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maybe it was wrong to rely on the Malign Spirit’s Groan here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The chief guard may have left a different door unlocked, but it was a large facility. Finding the right door with no hints or signs would be difficult.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So what now?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A sudden click rang through the darkness. The straitlaced sister had unlocked the door.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wh-wh-what are you doing, my sister? How did you know the code!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The commonly used numbers are more worn and the spring feels looser when pressing the button.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So what?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Onee-chan, is it really that confusing? The giant integrated resort to the west apparently has gamblers who can accurately determine the rotation speed and biases of the slots and roulettes just by listening to them turn.” Yuhi opened the stainless steel door. “Honestly, didn’t you know I visit the TV station a lot?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Th-that doesn’t explain anything…I think?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It does.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The middle schooler’s firm reply forced the high school online shrine maiden to back down. She used the gyaru sister as a shield. In wharf roach mode. Now, did Yuhi’s skill come from practice with props and such, or was it based on knowledge found in screenplays?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They exited the building once more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They climbed a gentle slope meant for wheelchairs to reach the large open pool reflecting the stars in the sky above.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The temperature seemed to have dropped by a few degrees. Was that…due to the pool’s water?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or was this chill a more spiritual thing?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rainy looked puzzled.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“They have something laid out here too… The poolside looks all cluttered.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Look, Onee-chan. That looks like a giant sign.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It says the leisure pool itself is closed. They probably plan to use this chance to complete all the maintenance they can.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The online shrine maiden quietly added that making the best of a bad situation like that wasn’t uncommon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blue tarps, paint cans, large reels of power cables. It got in the way and threatened to trip them in the dark, but there were at least some bonbori-shaped construction lights set up here and there. The lights being on may have been more of the chief guard’s remote assistance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A leisure pool seemed like it would have large lamps or gaudy decorative lights, but those things were commonly switched off during emergency closures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(With this and the vase, I really wish our supposed helper would stop partially hiding the evidence.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Overall, the pool formed a large weaving loop, like a race circuit. Some parts were quite wide, but the bends were only a few meters across. There were also diving boards and water slides on either side of the distorted loop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Was that the deadly slide?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Sea City must have had some kind of safety standards because there were tall lifeguard stands and warning speakers set up at a set interval along the winding leisure pool. …But those standards hadn’t been enough to prevent a paranormal death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The night breeze was blowing the pool water, producing quiet splashing sounds in the dark.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rainy frowned.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hm?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What is it?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Well…maybe I’m being influenced by the salt we saw before. Because it can’t be real.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Stop dragging it out and say what you mean.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s just…does the air smell kind of salty to anyone else? &#039;&#039;Like rotting seawater&#039;&#039;?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It wasn’t much compared to a bloody fallen warrior or countless hands emerging from a tunnel wall, but it was still an impossible phenomenon. Needless to say, the hundreds of tons of water filling the pool was freshwater disinfected with chlorine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi pulled her phone from her shrine maiden sleeve.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not even the initial lock screen would appear. Only a dead black screen stared back at her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She detected a quiet but unstable high-pitched ringing in her ear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Groan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s here.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 3===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Their phone lights and flashlights weren’t going to work anymore. They couldn’t rely on those LED light sources.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi lit a bundle of incense sticks with the old oil lighter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the Malign Spirit wasn’t visible, she only had to improve the conditions for visibility. Like light spilling in through the gap in a curtain transformed into a single beam by the dust in the room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was near one of the bonbori-shaped construction lights that flickered like the beating of a heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An unnatural shadow hovered there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The pool’s surface rippled. The enormous shadow floating there suddenly rose up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gyaru sister immediately tried to push down the straitlaced sister and the online shrine maiden kicked Yuhi to send both sisters tumbling. And just as they fell…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Vwoosh!!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A shape larger than a van burst from the water and flew in a large arch through open air. After failing to devour its target, the thing crossed the poolside to crash headfirst into more water.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“A sha-” Rainy shouted from the hard poolside where she lay holding her trembling sister. “A shark!? What was that!? It looked like a huge-ass shark!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That distinctive white and black pattern and the neat rows of teeth… No, that was a killer whale, Onee-chan!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Don’t bother trying to identify it. This is something else taking that form.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Ghastly Crusher had had hands meters across, but she hadn’t had a body like that in life. This was just a more extreme version of that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Had it left the range of the incense smoke, or could it swim below the bottom of the pool once it was in the water? It had to be bigger than the pool’s depth in places, yet it managed to hide below the surface of the water. With something like that hiding invisibly in the pool, it would be surprising if people weren’t dying.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wasn’t its tentative name the Watery Gnawer? That seemed apt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 8m long killer whale was the most powerful mammal. But this wasn’t actually one, nor was it it an abandoned pet that’s resentment for its owner turned it into a ghost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Outside of some highly unusual exceptions, Malign Spirits were generally the human dead transformed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was no real requirement for the Malign Spirit to actually part the water’s surface as it swam around. The Watery Gnawer was fixated on showing off its size. That sense of feeling big when wielding a powerful weapon was unmistakably human.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The online shrine maiden pushed the lit bundle of incense sticks into the gyaru sister’s hands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Split the fire between the two of you! You chose some fireworks back at the office, right? Fighting and winning is the only path to survival here!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hey, wait. That’s a killer whale, right? The thing swims, so wouldn’t it be a good idea to keep away from the pool? Let’s make a party full of snipers who can chip away at its HP! I’m saying we should keep a safe distance and start shooting fireworks like craz-”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A black shape climbed up from the edge of the pool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was no killer whale. It was a hideous monster with countless thick octopus or squid tentacles attached to the back of a ferocious killer whale’s arrowhead-shaped head. Had it unraveled? Maybe it was something like an enormous, violent tadpole with many, many tails.  Each of the tentacles’ suckers waslarger than the girls’ heads.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Does that look like a simple sea creature to you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“!!!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The terrified gyaru sister frantically searched her skirt pocket and found a fish sausage. It felt like a waste, but it would serve as a valuable decoy. She tore the thin wrapper off with her mouth and tossed it to the water to their side like fish bait.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The monster didn’t even glance that way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was coming for them. Using its many tentacles to lumber along the poolside.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No way, whyyy!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seeing the gyaru sister tearful and frozen in fear, the online shrine maiden sighed and pulled several bottle rockets from her large sleeve. She lit them and sent them toward the Watery Gnawer. She drew its attention toward herself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That turned its back to the gyaru sister.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rainy immediately aimed a single huge firework tube toward it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“N-now’s my chance!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The many tentacles parted and something else emerged.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A new shark head. But the snout narrowed down unusually, becoming something like a long, long horn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Was it a sawshark? It almost looked like a fencing saber.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rainy did not want to be run through by that thing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And that wasn’t the only new head. Like a giant flower, a total of five heads were spread out in different directions. There was no front and back to it now. The gyaru sister’s eyes widened.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What the hell!? That one’s an astropecten starfish! Or is it a feather star!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You know some unusual things, Onee-chan.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“For all the good it does us here! So can it turn into any sea creature!? Whoa, here it comes!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Watery Gnawer’s saber-like protrusion thrust sharply forward.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The air was compressed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But Rainy’s body was not rent apart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just as Yuhi used her incense sticks to light the fuse, lots of colorful smoke obscured their view.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She created a smokescreen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A thick octopus or squid tentacle swept out horizontally to slash through the air.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At its tip was a giant spiny shell resembling a turban shell. A giant clam’s shell could weigh more than 200kg and this rivaled that. It acted like a giant morning star or a crane’s wrecking ball.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But the straitlaced sister’s magnesium flash diverted its aim.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the blunt weapon loudly crashed down, all the poolside’s tiles were torn up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It wasn’t very powerful, but Yuhi’s firework had managed to divert the enemy attack and protect her loved one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One’s choice of firework reflected who they were. This was different from the online shrine maiden’s focus on lethality with bottle rockets and firecrackers and also different from the gyaru sister’s love of flashy things.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, right. Rainy…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The online shrine maiden looked around to see Rainy was running sharply out from the smokescreen. In fact, she continued on and jumped straight over the 2-3m wide pool. Like a competitive skateboarder or climber, she actively used the obstacles to her advantage. But while they had managed to turn aside the Malign Spirit, they would be in trouble if it figured out their pattern. Because Malign Spirits were originally human.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Targeting it with fireworks from multiple directions gave them an advantage, but it also increased the risk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(I need to support both sisters soon! I can’t let the Watery Gnawer remain in control!!)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi clenched her teeth. Even at a distance, she had to stay sharp.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The drum-sized shell resembling a turban shell or a Venus comb was cut away from the swinging squid tentacle and thrown. That spiky blunt weapon could tear flesh and bone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unlike a round ball, it bounced to the sides, making it hard to dodge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Tsumugi attempted to avoid it, something grabbed her right leg.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No. At some point barnacles had grown up, linking her sandal to the poolside tile.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Tch!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She dropped a firecracker to blast the barnacles, but that meant wasting two seconds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Letting it touch her was a problem in and of itself, but she would have to worry about that later. At more than 200kg, the blunt weapon was as heavy as a large motorcycle. She ducked low to just barely avoid the giant bouncing spiral shell.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She heard the chain link fence behind her bending and tearing. That would have been her had it hit her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Damn you!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gyaru sister ran in and launched a series of twenty bottle rockets like a machinegun. The thing used its tentacles to side step out of the way, but the band of light pursued and finally hit. The Malign Spirit tried to escape into the pool, but it seemed to have swollen too large to move well. The killer whale head cut off the other four heads and leaped quickly toward the water with the sucker-covered tentacles trailing behind. It flew in a large arc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rainy staggered to a stop and clicked her tongue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s too fast!! And blasting it with all that wasn’t enough to take it down!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Then we just have to hold it in place and hit it with everything we have. Yuhi-san.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Eh? Me?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Only you can do this.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 4===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It really was fast once in the water.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At this speed – in this world – it would be a challenge to hit it with fireworks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of course, the Watery Gnawer did more than just run.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It leaped in large arcs from pool to pool. Even when there was a solid poolside in between. The Malign Spirit zigzagged around like that, approaching its targets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Red and blue filled its vision.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A smokescreen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But that was no obstacle when it could simply attack from outside the screen. The smoke would spread in all four horizontal directions, but it didn’t travel very far up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It decided to make the final attack from above.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its sharp head and tentacles sliced through so much water before bursting from the surface and soaring high.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Gween!!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It made an odd noise.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It had hit a &#039;&#039;solid roof&#039;&#039; which shouldn’t have existed over the outdoor pool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Had a large sign lying on the floor been tied to the speaker supports with wire or something? So it crossed a narrow section of the winding pool? With three of them, that would be physically possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Whoa, we actually got it!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If it didn’t want its view blocked by the smokescreen, it would naturally try to get a look from above. And when we’re the ones guiding its actions, we can easily lay a trap! Including when and where it will jump!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Watery Gnawer had forcibly broken through the thin sign, but it had lost a lot of its momentum. Instead of reaching more water, it fell to the poolside between.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This created a short blank. A pause.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But this Malign Spirit had shown it could move on land.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi and Rainy moved forward together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This is our one and only chance. I-if this doesn’t do the trick…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Don’t worry.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The shrine maiden spoke with certainty.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I will settle this before it’s too late.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 5===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The homeroom teacher had been crying in private.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She couldn’t go to her students about this and the other teachers were the ones who had forced this onto her in the first place.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was all alone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This wasn’t a test of courage she had chosen for herself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had been forced against her will to violate a taboo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had said effort isn’t enough to make your fear go away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was exactly right.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Go to hell, Malign Spirit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Don’t think you get to toy with other people’s lives in your hands just because you died once already!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 6===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The online shrine maiden’s many bottle rockets and the gyaru sister’s thick one-shot fireworks pierced into the grounded Watery Gnawer. They burned it away, gouged inside it, and detonated within. Writhing and tearing off its tentacles, that former human thing opened its mouth wide toward the empty air above and released a mournful bellow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The shrine maiden did not even consider fulfilling its regrets so it could pass on to heaven.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That twisted and broken soul had to be utterly and entirely obliterated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was probably true, but the gyaru sister bit her lip a little.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She saw a small hand inside the killer whale’s great maw.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A small child’s hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“……………so……………lone……………ly……………”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And a voice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A preadolescent soprano voice rang in the back of Rainy’s mind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a small boy’s voice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was drawn in. As she saw each of the lines on that hand wriggling, a vision appeared in her mind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Mo………mmy……………help………………me…………?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A leisure pool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A crowd of strangers in the hot sun. Terribly inadequate air conditioning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Someone was crying and shouting, but despite all the people no one came to save him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An illustrated “Our Friends in the Sea” encyclopedia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An ordinary shared office not even two meters across. Sweat dripping endlessly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A small hand that couldn’t reach the knob no matter how much he reached.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A space cut off from the world and a young life intentionally abandoned by a selfish adult.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(He wanted to find her.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gyaru sister stopped moving.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(He still wanted to find the mom who abandoned him. Is that really the only reason this boy still clings to this world?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Malign Spirits were the result of a human dying and undergoing a transformation. So wouldn’t they naturally carry a conviction extreme enough to keep them in this world even after death?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wai-”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Boom!!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nevertheless, the online shrine maiden’s bottle rocket blasted the small hand within the great maw.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was pierced through and detonated from within.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Something that remained so young was blown apart like a paper doll and the giant silhouette created from a mixture of sea creatures melted away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That must have been the “core” of the broken and twisted soul.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The core of the child who had continued to reach out in a desperate search for the warmth of the mother who had betrayed him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She destroyed it without hesitation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“How could you…?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rainy’s eyes widened as far a they would go, but the pupils in the center had shrunk down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Words spilled from her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The online shrine maiden was right. She was, but still!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“How can you do this!? Malign Spirits were human once. That boy only wanted his mom. But you just march in and kill him without even hearing what he has to say!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi didn’t speak a word.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She simply approached and grabbed the gyaru sister’s clothing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She yanked down on the modified sailor uniform’s skirt, revealing a bit more of her skin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was an unnatural discoloration just below Rainy’s navel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the shape of a small child’s hand print.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From internal bleeding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“He wanted his mother.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gyaru sister had mentioned already being interested in this leisure facility. And she had known her way around the corridors and shops without checking her phone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Which meant she had already visited to check the place out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her new bikini had been bought at the sporting goods store in the commercial complex here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Had something invisible touched her then?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“&#039;&#039;So whenever he found a young woman who resembled his mother, he would tear away the bottom of her torso and kill her.&#039;&#039; He didn’t care who it was – he was only after the warmth of her flesh and blood for his own satisfaction. And once the guts had cooled, he would begin his search anew. In an eternal cycle. Are you saying we should just leave the Watery Gnawer here?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rainy watched the child’s hand print fade away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The hand that had wanted to to tear away the bottom of her torso.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The sign of that innocent intent to kill silently vanished.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The online shrine maiden breathed a cynical sigh.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“A big sister aura that makes kids like you, huh?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Everyone but you could see it, Onee-chan. From the start.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The straitlaced sister couldn’t look her sister in the eye as she said it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was the one who had helped her change out of the swimsuit and into the shrine maiden outfit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was why the detective had sought the online shrine maiden’s help after seeing the gyaru sister in her bikini.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was why Yuhi had groaned “ugh!?” when the shrine maiden outfit had slipped off her sister in the nap room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They had all seen it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Do you really think a third year middle schooler like me, who should really be studying for the entrance exam, would have accompanied you to a haunted pool at night otherwise? Or choose defensive fireworks like a smokescreen or a flash of light? …I chose to fight because I was worried about you.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 7===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The leisure pool’s Watery Gnawer had been defeated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There should be no more victims.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The homeroom teacher nervously patrolling the city with a flashlight in hand would return to school tomorrow without issue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After parting ways with the sisters, Yahirodono Tsumugi returned to the detective agency on her own.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Is it over?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Of course,” replied the shrine maiden with black hair tied back as she tossed the old oil lighter to the detective.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There hadn’t been any problems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The older Betsuzaki sister was charmed and lured by the Watery Gnawer, so she would have tried to protect it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But Hisame Kouga was a detective. He had no convenient spiritual sense at all. But he knew how to arrive at the truth without relying on that sort of inborn talent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So with three simple words, he arrived at the heart of the matter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“&#039;&#039;Was it hard&#039;&#039;?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The online shrine maiden pressed her forehead against his chest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was trembling.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was suppressing the sobs, but she knew he would still feel them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;“How could you…?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Those words were born of misunderstanding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rainy had been charmed by the Malign Spirit, preventing her from seeing what it didn’t want her to see.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But those words had still come from her heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;“How can you do this!? Malign Spirits were human once. That boy only wanted his mom. But you just march in and kill him without even hearing what he has to say!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I know all that.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi couldn’t forget the look in Rainy’s eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That gyaru sister was always the center of attention and overflowing with cheer, yet that had been the tearful look one gaze a child murderer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What I’m fighting are people’s souls, they are still human no matter how much they’ve changed, and they are all victims who were killed… But once the change happens, nothing other than utter obliteration will stop those Malign Spirits. If I don’t do that, I can’t protect the living! Not a single one!! I’m well aware I’m trapped in that catch-22 of contradictions!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had done the right thing, but she couldn’t call herself just.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was a reminder that she was ultimately a dark existence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But I will still choose the souls of the living… Because I don’t want anyone else to die! Because I don’t want to even imagine anyone I know becoming a new Malign Spirit! Yes, yes. I imagine a true saint would elegantly wrinkle her brow, call it ‘horrid’, and refuse to go along with it. Maybe this makes me selfish!! But I won’t back down. Never, ever, ever… I will not let the living be killed to soothe the pain of the dead!! This world exists for the living. I won’t bend on that! I will protect this ordinary world! At the risk of my one and only life!! No one else will approve of what I’m doing? So what!? Why should I care!? Uwehhh, ahhhhhhhhhhh, ahhhhhhhhhh, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She felt a soft sensation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was the detective.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He held the weeping girl in his arms and gently rubbed her head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If this hurts you…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Detectives were experts at guiding people to the right answer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This man knew the girl better than anyone but he was not allowed to fight by her side. Nevertheless, he refused to accept that meant there was nothing he could do for her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If you can work to help a friend and cry when your feelings are hurt,” he said. “It means you are a &#039;&#039;living&#039;&#039; human. You can be confident of that.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Story Synopsis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the distant future, Earth has been devastated and its inhabitants seek a new home in the heavens. However, constant warfare forces humans to return to Earth, which has turned into an uninhabitable planet except for a certain area called the Divine States.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Divine States are too small to accommodate all the humans, so they duplicated the area and created the Harmonic Divine States. In order to retrace their steps and rediscover their journey to the heavens, the returned humans began to reproduce history from the year 10,000 BC, using a mysterious history book called Testament.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
History reproduction proceeds smoothly until A.D. 1413, when a war broke out in the Divine States. This causes the Harmonic Divine States to crash onto the original world. The humans living in the Harmonic Divine States lose their land and invade the original world. The people of the Divine States surrender and they are divided by the invaders from the Harmonic Divine States. They try to resume the reproduction of history from A.D.1457, but the update of history terminates in A.D.1648. A rumor of apocalypse begins to spread around the world.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
“Now they’ve done it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tomoe Gozen stood up on the city wall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She still couldn’t see the Musashi and Azuchi in the southern sky. Because the Earth was a sphere, its curve blocked the ships from view despite their great size.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But she knew they were approaching.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Their divine transmissions were arriving and, more than that, the eastern sky was stormy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An enormous high-speed ship had traveled there and back. Several wavy clouds had formed in the east, with a thin layer similar to a parting of the sea.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But she had a feeling their approach now would bring about something unexpected.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“By returning to Europe, Musashi likely intended for the European nations to judge Hashiba now that they provide no political benefits for us.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Has that changed?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guericke displayed the state of the city’s material distribution on a lernen figur and had their paper stockpiles moved. It was the time of night when late night shifted into morning. The city center was running low on supplies and it was too late to have more delivered from outside the city. Only small-scale deliveries were running at the moment, so they would have to send out the supplies pooled across the city.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guericke arranged this based on statistics and his own experience as he spoke.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I don’t like the way this is headed.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Testament. Hashiba claims their Ten Spears know what must be done because they came from the future. It sounds absurd, but if it is true we have no choice but to do as they say. Setting aside the veracity of the claim, any group that doesn’t want ‘Matsudaira’ to rule as the Far Eastern representative will use the Ten Spears’ existence as a political card.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Musashi won’t be able to find a single nation that doesn’t benefit from holding that card.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Even us Protestants?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Even us.” She sighed. “We owe them a debt of gratitude. But those debts do not revert to zero when repaid. Because that gratitude creates a relationship which does not just go away. So when weighing someone we hold no gratitude for against someone we do, I will choose the latter. And if I wanted to create a debt of gratitude in the other party, I would instead choose the former. However…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“While gratitude counts for something, it is nothing compared to an actual substantive benefit.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“A very Protestant way of thinking.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yes, it’s similar to preferring substantive prayer over hollow ornament. Truly a wonderful way of thinking! I wonder who came up with it, Guericke!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Testament! That would be the great Martin Luther of the Age of the Gods!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was wearing shoes designed for use by ghosts, so she gave him a solid kick.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It made a nice sound and he managed to stay on his feet for a moment, but then his hips gave out. Some students passing by with stacks of color proofs noticed the two of them and bowed before leaving. &#039;&#039;Do they value him so lowly? Poor thing…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“T-Tomoe Gozen! I nearly passed out there!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I feel so sorry for you.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Did I miss something going on here!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Whatever,&#039;&#039; she decided.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Anyway, the Ten Spears’ story is an attractive one. Even I am debating whether I should bring it up first and foremost next time I meet the Musashi group. And…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This reverses things. Musashi meant for this return to Europe to give them the advantage, but the Ten Spears have used it against them. It is now time for the Ten Spears to ‘market themselves’. Do you know how they will do that, Guericke?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Testament. By convincing us Musashi’s vision of the future will fail.” Guericke tilted his head. “But what does it mean to lose to destiny?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You don’t get it?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tomoe Gozen had an inkling of what they meant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It means your destiny is superior to you.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tomoe Gozen pointed at Guericke’s face as he looked up at her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Let’s make it simple. Let’s say there is another you.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“There is another me. Now what?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The rest was simple.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That other you has destiny on his side. Do you understand?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What does…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guericke was probably going to ask “what does that mean”, but then he froze.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Do you get it now?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The enemy will be lucky and you will be unlucky. Of course, ‘luck’ is just another way of referring to everything you have built up in the past, but that accumulation will benefit the enemy over you. And what if that applied to everyone?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Everyone would be unlucky and the enemy modeled after everyone would be lucky.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“There’s no way we could win.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She understood.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They had experienced something similar. They had lost to the age and been driven into an unfortunate situation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Everything had gone well in Kyou, but that had just caused it all to go downhill even faster. She wanted to believe that destiny hadn’t been responsible and that it was their failure for not striking back at the system, but…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If you do anything wrong, nothing will work out. Because even your efforts to recover will break down. And if your opponents are doing the same thing…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Musashi still wasn’t visible to the southeast. If anything would be visible, it would be the Azuchi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The only way to turn this around starts with defeating the Ten Spears, Musashi.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Are you saying we can’t win if destiny is our enemy?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Masazumi could tell how much of a disadvantage she had here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;This is…y’know.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was like facing an unverifiable lie.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She considered summoning Neshinbara, but he was currently cleaning up his inventory belowdecks. That was an important job since it would lighten the Musashi and throw out some ether stagnation, so she wondered who could take his place.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Hey, Ookubo. Any interest in filling in for Neshinbara?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Nagaya-Stable:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Huh? You want me to negotiate?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “No, you can clean up his belowdecks inventory.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Nagaya-Stable:&#039;&#039;&#039; “You can get someone else to do that!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Good point. Arrange that for me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asama heard Ookubo fall to her knees and scream on the front of Okutama’s bow deck.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Noooooooooo! I just gave myself more worrrrrrrrrk!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Being lower on the ladder isn’t easy,&#039;&#039; she thought, but this was also a challenge for her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Asama-sama, is making an enemy of destiny really such a big deal?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I can’t say for sure without doing some research, but Shinto considers ‘bad luck’ to be the broadest category of things that must be purified away.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Then can’t you do something about it?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“With ordinary bad luck, yes. But I’m not so sure if our destiny itself is unlucky. Bad luck is a temporary thing that can be removed, but your destiny is you yourself and purification can’t alter such a fundamental current. It would actually clear the way for that current.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Because purification will not change something so fundamental, there is nothing I can do.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Masazumi sighed at Asama’s conclusion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;If Asama says so, it must be true.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She didn’t know how much she could trust what Takenaka was saying, but an ally had just proven what would happen if it did turn out that way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even if she could win this negotiation by ignoring that, she had to face reality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So for now…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Hey, idiot.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Me:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Hm? What? Are ya winning, Seijun?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “To be honest, no.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Me:&#039;&#039;&#039; “But you can stop them, right?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “I suppose.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She nodded. Lowering her head like that was a sign of agreement. Agreement meant she wasn’t alone. Not being alone meant she had companions. And having companions meant…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “A winning pattern.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Novice:&#039;&#039;&#039; “You called?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I’m getting his help a lot tonight,&#039;&#039; she noted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Imagine it, Neshinbara. There’s another you. You have bad luck and he has good luck. How are you supposed to win?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Novice:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Oh, that’s easy.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Secretary paused just long enough that she could imagine him pushing up his glasses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Novice:&#039;&#039;&#039; “We just have to become the chosen warriors.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Is he even speaking the same Far Eastern language I am?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My turn is upon us. Behold the power of the demon of language.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Neshinbara sat in a chair and drank some water in the belowdecks incinerator’s office.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He posted a “heh” of laughter on the sign frame, crossed his legs, realized he had crossed them too far, and tried again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Novice:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Now, Takenaka Hanbei, I, the Musashi Secretary, will now take over.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kuro-Take:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Must you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What a rude thing to say. Regardless, he chose to make the first move.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Novice:&#039;&#039;&#039; “You just said our opponent is destiny, did you not?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kuro-Take:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Oh, yes, yes. I said that.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Novice:&#039;&#039;&#039; “But what does that matter? We have defied destiny in the past. This just makes that a tad more literal.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kuro-Take:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Um, sorry, Musashi Secretary, but could I speak with a negotiator a little more capable of discussing reality?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Novice:&#039;&#039;&#039; “How rude! What about me makes you think I am discussing a fantasy?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kuro-Take:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Well, all of you…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;How odd,&#039;&#039; he thought. &#039;&#039;Has she awoken this far into reality?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So he continued.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Novice:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Have you seen this ‘destiny’?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kuro-Take:&#039;&#039;&#039; “No, I haven’t. But the others have told me about it. Or rather, I have reached an understanding from the fragmentary statements they have been able to share.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Novice:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Then this is no more than hearsay and speculation! And you’re acting like it’s all true! Then you should speak on the same level as me!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kuro-Take:&#039;&#039;&#039; “No, I can’t do that.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He sensed reluctance in Takenaka’s words.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the flow of conversation, she seemed to be hiding an effective card to use against him. Yet he sensed reluctance in her. He wanted to know what it was. So…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Novice:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Let’s hear it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Testament,” replied Takenaka. She took a breath before presenting him with her words.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kuro-Take:&#039;&#039;&#039; “In the final battle, all your forces were destroyed and you died there, Musashi Secretary Toussaint Neshinbara.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Four Eyes:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Why!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A glasses girl suddenly interrupted the divine transmission.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Wow,&#039;&#039; thought Asama, a little disturbed. This divine transmission was open in Europe, but it still had a certain amount of security.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was only one way this girl had broken in through a wide-range transmission.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;She used her theatre spell as an author, didn’t she!?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh?” said Elizabeth, viewing a light down in the city below from her position in Oxford’s tower.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a forest. A kilometer-wide forest made of ether had appeared in one corner of London, which remained active even at night, and that forest was expanding and rising up like a pop-up book.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Everything was bathed in light as bright as day, but it wasn’t the forest that mattered. Her focus had to be on the figure standing up from the stream flowing through the forest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That 100m tall manifestation of literature wore a white dress, shook her wet blonde hair, and carried flowers. A wet veil obscured the dead face of a noble princess.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You fool… Do not summon a god just because you learned of your beloved’s death, Shakespeare.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Elizabeth’s lips curled upwards as she tapped on the window’s partially-raised shutter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Besides, you have yet to complete that program – Ophelia!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shakespeare raised her arms, standing among the grass in the forest with the stream and the princess behind her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ophelia!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Reach her. Ask her and seek an answer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ophelia! Ophelia!! Ophelia!!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She stated her words.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ophelia, deceased princess who knew not her love was forbidden, came down with madness yet still sought her answer, and still tried to be with him!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Behind her, Ophelia swung her arms. Water scattered from the arms while vines and leafy branches grew from them. They linked with the ether forest and pierced the stream that had grown to the size of a proper river.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ophelia! Tragic princess who sank and drowned! Ask the question on your mind, Ophelia! Just as the river water reaches the sea, your question will surely reach its answer!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As she spoke, Shakespeare stuck a hand in her hair and swept it backwards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I have a question for the brutes who have come from the non-contiguous land we call the future!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Words spilled from her hair. She was in top form today. She had been in a good mood for a while now. Because…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Toussaint will not die! Because our power is infinite! No destiny can stand up to the creation of words and imagination! The future may be unfortunate and it may disappear, but if we write that ‘it is’, then ‘it is’!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She swung her hand. She reached into a paper bag and pulled out a bundle of thirty thousand manuscript sheets linked together like a snake.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This journal describes my future with Toussaint! Even if it does not play out as written here, ‘it is’ that way in here! A power such as that can never be defeated by destiny!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ask.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ask, Ophelia! Shred the falsehoods you were not taught, tear away their lies, and guide us to the truth!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She shouted, supported by the thunder of shutters opening behind and all around her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Answer me, resident of the future!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Unfortunately, you have already been given the answer, England’s greatest writer.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I can’t believe this,&#039;&#039; thought Takenaka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If she was going to get a question like this, she honestly wished it could come from someone easier to deal with.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was too much. Instead of taking on a high risk, she was taking on a persistent weight. But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Takenaka-sama! The ship’s divine net is receiving intrusions on all fronts! Shaja.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Are you serious?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Instead of the internal divine net receiving an external connection, it was being intruded from everywhere at once.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The status displayed on her insha kotob said the Azuchi’s divine net was being hijacked by an external intrusion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a warship, the Azuchi had excellent security. To take it over so easily would require fully spell-controlled ether manipulation. And…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Did she transfer her theatre spell via divine transmission!?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was definitely something new.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The appearance and the act itself came from the Age of the Gods on which the history recreation was based, so it had likely been a standard occurrence during the Age of Dawn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But this opponent had renewed it and come with a question.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Takenaka-sama! Shaja.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takenaka understood. This intrusion was searching for her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ophelia had gone mad and searched for the truth within herself until she fell in the water and drowned. There were many interpretations of what caused it, but what if her feelings remained even after her death?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Do you want an answer?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I can’t believe this,&#039;&#039; Takenaka thought again before speaking.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I will say it again: you have already been given the answer.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The artillery fire from the bows of the Azuchi’s first ships had ceased. The internal divine net had been infected, so the automaton-based control system was no longer functioning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If this continued, the acceleration system would fail too. Then the Azuchi couldn’t keep up with the Musashi and this would be over.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of course, England was grossly overstepping its bounds here. It was illegal interference with the history recreation of the Battle of Yamazaki.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But they couldn’t let it end here. Aware of that, Takenaka described what she had once come to understand – the future circumstances she had spent years discerning from fragments of words.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Shakespeare. Your imagination and the Musashi Secretary’s imagination can be defeated by destiny’s imagination.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Four Eyes:&#039;&#039;&#039; “How!? We can imagine our own continued existence! What can defeat that!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takenaka’s words themselves were being picked up by the divine transmission now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Is this the power of a true author?&#039;&#039; she wondered as she answered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“A tragedy.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She chose her words carefully as she sent an accurate critique of this author.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“There is one thing that can perfectly match and surpass the life, the existence, and the happiness you imagine for yourself: a tragedy,” she said. “Because you and your partner are so skilled, destiny could remake you into a tragedy. Destiny’s fanfiction transformed your real and imagined selves into the protagonists of a tragedy and destiny made that version a reality.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Four Eyes:&#039;&#039;&#039; “You mean…?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Testament.” Shakespeare had to understand now. “The fifth tragedy you never managed to write. Your destiny finally created your Fifth Great Tragedy by basing it on the two of you.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Four Eyes:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Lies!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shakespeare shouted. She raised her voice with words spilling from her hair.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Toussaint and I swore to bring each other happiness! We promised our futures to each other! And we vowed to live together! We could never fall to tragedy! With his confession, the two of us have wedded eighteen times now!! Last night, he lay by my side, held me gently in his arms, and kissed me!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Almost Everyone:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Uh…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Novice:&#039;&#039;&#039; “No! It’s not true! I didn’t do any of that! She fantasized it all! I haven’t even filled out a marriage application or been asked to sign one! I swear!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Art-Ga:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Wow, that denial sounds suspicious as hell.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Novice:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Y-you’re just saying that to torment me, right!? Right!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Look, I let you negotiate in my place, so take this seriously.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Novice:&#039;&#039;&#039; “This isn’t my fault! It really isn’t!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;What does this mean?&#039;&#039; wondered Shakespeare.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had heard the Apocalypse was the process of the ether thinning out until the world was destroyed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was like the ink in an author’s pen running out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But to ensure some form of writing remained, some in the Russia of this era would take notes on birch bark using a bone pen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Similarly, there would be ways of leaving themselves behind in some other form.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And even if they fully thinned out, as long as they remained…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We could record that we struggled to the end and never gave up! That is our pride as authors! Even if we were fighting against the world itself!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But Takenaka said that wasn’t what happened.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;The Fifth Great Tragedy!?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had considered it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her history recreation only allowed her the Four Great Tragedies. She had frequently considered how she could surpass them. What could she base the story on and how should the story play out? But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It was based on us and we opposed destiny but were no match for it?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That she hadn’t considered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No, she had only learned today what system would destroy the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And she hadn’t thought she would be presented with a plot about themselves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Given time, would she have come up with the idea? Maybe even something better than what Takenaka had suggested?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;No.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That wasn’t the point.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Insisting you were secretly better than your opponent was the complaint of the loser.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She hadn’t come up with the idea, so she had already lost to Takenaka and the future she mentioned.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Damn.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She hated this. It felt like the destiny described here were already set in stone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She thought she could come up with a more entertaining story, but…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I have no intention of becoming a trend follower, Takenaka Hanbei. As much as I hate to do so, I must admit-”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She planned to end her theatre spell after saying “defeat”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But before she could…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Eh?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Overhead, a great tremor ran through Ophelia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Looking up to see why, she saw what had happened there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ophelia had manifested at over 100 meters tall, but her head suddenly came off.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Huh!? What!? What in the world!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A glowing attack was responsible, but Shakespeare recognized the color of the light that flew in along a diagonal path.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ex. Caliburn!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Practicing for a play tonight, Shakespeare?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Beyond Ophelia’s collapsing ether light and within the scattering light of the forest, three figures walked this way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First, the Fairy Queen in a cape and jeans. Followed by Dudley, in her uniform despite the late hour, and Cecil, also in her uniform plus light armor with curved plating.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cecil looked across the scattering ether light forest and up at Ophelia breaking apart in the sky.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“A full houuuuuse!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just as she raised her hands overhead, it all flew into the sky as a glowing wind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;That would be Dudley,&#039;&#039; thought Mary as she held Excalibur at the ready and viewed the light in the northwest sky.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a floating island even further north than the Far Eastern San’in Region, England had a wide view. It was just as visible from the Far East, so depending on location and altitude, it could be clearly seen north of Hexagone Française.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like now for instance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the Musashi approached Osaka Bay, the mountains of San’in and San’yo blocked it from view here in the Osaka region, but…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ahead of Mary, Kiyomasa gasped with Caledfwlch at the ready.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Is that Excalibur!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No, I think Dudley did that to Shakespeare’s theatre spell.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A single sword jutted up above the dark mountains visible to the north.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was Ex. Caliburn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or more accurately, a collection of ether light modeled after it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Dudley’s Testamenta Arma can use the ether from Shakespeare’s spell as ‘a weapon’ to transform it in that way. Of course, extending it to that height likely required a reversal from Cecil’s ‘distribution’.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“They have both gotten stronger since I left England.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Splendid! Splendid, you two! And Shakespeare! I like the audacity!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Fairy Queen smiled. Beside her, but kneeling a bit back from her, Dudley exchanged a glance with Cecil seated on her rear nearby, and then lowered her head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Y-you honor us…!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Yes, truly splendid.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;I have been blessed with excellent wings!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;And the tail feathers as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Fairy Queen…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This came from Shakespeare down on the packed dirt street. She brushed her hair back and her shoulders slumped.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I am sorry, Fairy Queen. I let my emotions get the better of me and suffered a crushing defeat.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Shakespeare! Ophelia’s part in Hamlet could still use some work it seems.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“––––”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Fairy Queen tapped Ex. Caliburn where it was linked to her hip hard point. A vibration inside resonated with the tap, producing the deep note of a metal musical instrument.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I recently discovered it makes a higher note if I tap it here. But that is all fun and games. Now, Shakespeare, do not get carried away and show off Ophelia before she is ready. Hamlet is one of your most famous tragedies, is it not?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Testament. That is true…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yes. It is a tragedy. But death alone does not make a tragedy. It is an unrewarded death that makes tragedy. But your Ophelia is not yet complete. You failed to convey what reward she did not receive. That is why I beheaded her with Excalibur.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’ve never heard of Ophelia being executed with Excalibur before.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ha ha. You’re one to talk after working with the Musashi Secretary to let Macbeth usurp the throne. …But this was an amusing diversion. Once the play is finished, let me behead her once. That should give the audience a shock. I love things like that.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yes,” agreed Shakespeare. Seeing that put a smile on the Fairy Queen’s lips.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;So she finally understands what I am trying to say.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shakespeare fixed her glasses and then spoke.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That is the nature of tragedy, isn’t it? The tragedy comes from being unrewarded or failing to achieve something. But I will be rewarded. Because I can look to greater heights and hope for even more.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yes, that is what I want to hear, my wing and the greatest author in literary history. Serving me is the greatest reward my Trumps can ever receive. Never forget that even in the pursuit of romance.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Testament, I understand.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Prove it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Just as the reality of King Lear and the play differ, we will be made into a tragedy. Maybe there is a future where it actually happens that way, but we are someone else as we fight back. Tragedy or not, we will smile and do what we can. Because every card in the Trumps has a use.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Excellent.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With that, the Fairy Queen turned her gaze to the southern sky.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“M.H.R.R. Hashiba!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She released her voice. And Dudley approached her with head bowed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dudley did not turn around. She simply scratched at the dirt road surface with the large gauntlet of her Testamenta Arma, drawing out an arrow pointing left from the direction the Fairy Queen was facing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Dudley stepped back, the Fairy Queen turned to face the direction of the arrow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My mistake!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Honesty was a virtue. Correcting your mistakes was also a virtue. So today she was already twice virtuous so early in the morning. The Fairy Queen was perfect. She wasn’t sure if learning from your mistakes counted as a virtue, so she didn’t bother with that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“M.H.R.R. Hashiba! Won’t you at least greet me!? The Fairy Queen speaks to you!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Takenaka-sama! Takenaka-sama! Now we’re receiving a divine transmission powerful enough to interfere with the ley lines!! Shaja!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“God, I hate England and all its spirits!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hello! This is Hashiba’s current liaison officer! I apologize for our future people being such a nuisance so early in the morning.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“They have been no trouble at all!” declared the Fairy Queen. “I was able to view one of Shakespeare’s unfinished plays and carry out a beheading! Your provocation was much appreciated, Hashiba!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Takenaka fell straight to her knees, “Azuchi” saw the forehead of her slumped head smash through the divine transmission insha kotob that happened to be in the way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“T-Takenaka-sama! Statistically, everyone faces unreasonable circumstances throughout their lives! This must be one of those times! So pull yourself together! Look, I have a new insha kotob for you! Shaja!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Nooooo! It’s too much for me! I need to ero!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You will have plenty of time to throw a childish tantrum later, so keep it together for a while longer! Please! And, Hirano-sama, you have been looking the other way and trying to stay out of this, haven’t you!? Shaja!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yes, well, I have plenty of reason to keep my guard up right now.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Azuchi” knew what Hirano meant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;The Asama Shrine Representative!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No attacks had come from the bow deck of Musashi’s second central ship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But that was misleading. A Musashi targeting spell had turned that airspace into holy ground and another personal-use targeting spell had created some form of spell field.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The spells expressed a clear message: none of your attacks can get through.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Azuchi” wondered if she found the stance so familiar because she used the surrounding warships to protect everyone here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But while the Asama Shrine Representative was cautious of them, she wasn’t showing any hostility. Because, according to Hirano…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We’re still safe as long as she isn’t aiming her bow and arrow this way.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Safe? Shaja.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yes. My mom once jokingly said, ‘there was a time when I was known for shooting down a warship’ and everyone was like ‘wow, that’s so cool!’, but since coming here, I realized I must have misheard her. I think she actually said she was known for ‘shooting down warships’.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Um, is this really something to tell to a warship like me? Shaja.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That she wasn’t directly aiming at them meant the Asama Shrine Representative must have been curious about everything happening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then Takenaka stood up and tossed a full ero pack into the sky.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What do you want, Fairy Queen? Interfering with a history recreation is an intrusion on our national rights.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This isn’t about that! I am curious about the future you have knowledge of!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And that curiosity had her ask…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I too am lost in this future of yours, aren’t I?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Fairy Queen heard Dudley speak.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Y-Y-Y-Your Majesty!? That! That can’t possibly be true! I-if such a thing were going to happen, Cecil and I would surely protect you!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I know that! Live your lives how you like and die how you like! My reign will bring about England’s greatest period of prosperity, so everyone who serves me can do the same!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This should have gone without saying. And…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I will look after all who are under my protection to the very end! And as long as I have a single servant left, I am queen!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Then,” said Dudley. “C-C-C-Cecil and I would wish to be the very last of your servants to die!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We’ll work hard.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ha ha!” The Fairy Queen laughed. “The Vice Chancellor and Vice President shall remain until the very last moment!? Then England shall continue to function right up to the end. And I will perform my noble duties as England’s queen right up to the end.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Y-Y-Your Majesty, you mean…?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She explained.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Mary! Mary Stuart! When your child takes the throne, I shall cease to be queen! And I know what I will do then!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, she knew. She wasn’t certain this was how it was &#039;&#039;meant&#039;&#039; to happen, but she had a feeling everyone had &#039;&#039;done it this way&#039;&#039; after considering the nature of the Apocalypse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Father!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She thought of her parent who she could only picture as an idealized form of himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Before the Apocalypse destroys the world, I shall surely remake Avalon into a shelter that can exist even after the ley lines thin. I do not know if it shall be based on a selection or a promise, but those who can be entrusted with all shall be sent there.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Who would that be? Avalon had a decent capacity. The final list would definitely contain several people, but she knew who two of them would be.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Mary! You and your child shall inherit everything we have!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Me…too?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mary felt herself gasp.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She would shelter in Avalon with her child. She felt some guilt there, but it did sound plausible. But it also told her a few different things.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“First, there will be some time between the final battle and the world’s thinning reaching a dangerous level.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There must be enough time after the final battle for her child to be born and for her to enter Avalon with that child.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If many of us are lost during the final battle, what about Master Tenzou?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“He died,” immediately replied Kiyomasa. “Humanity’s main fighting force was almost entirely wiped out in the final battle. Most of the losses occurred during the retreat, so I heard only a few hundred made it back to the Far East. I was born after that.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tenzou heard what Kiyomasa said, her head lowered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“During the retreat, my mother asked him to retreat with her, but he told her not to worry and promised her he would be back. She trusted him and returned to the surface, but…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She said it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“She was always repeating his words and waiting! Whenever she tried to get me to listen or was talking about herself, she would talk about old times and say we should ‘wait’! But I knew it was a lie! Time and again I told her he wasn’t coming back, but she never stopped believing in him. But…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kiyomasa turned to look at him. Those tear-filled blue eyes were so much like Mary’s. And she raised a sharp yell.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You lied to her!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Gold Mar:&#039;&#039;&#039; “I think Tenzou’s managed a world first: starting family drama with a child who isn’t even born yet.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Art-Ga:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Broadly defined, our battles and Futayo’s battles probably counted as family drama too.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Silver Wolf:&#039;&#039;&#039; “1st Special Duty Officer, you shouldn’t make promises you can’t keep just because they sound good.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Me:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Tenzou, why do you always make the wrong choice when it matters most?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;10ZO:&#039;&#039;&#039; “I-is today ‘gang up on Tenzou’ day or something!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Yes, it’s true.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kiyomasa could tell she was irritated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was true seeing her mother had brought her joy, but the anger was greater.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Who had brought so much sorrow to her mother?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Who had forced her mother to wait for so long?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And who had never returned to her mother and never appeared to Kiyomasa at all?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The answer was standing right in front of her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;That boy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Yes,&#039;&#039; she thought again. This anger was misplaced. This version of her mother knew nothing of what was to come and she was here to stop it from happening in the first place.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;So calm yourself, Katou Kiyomasa. You’ve found happiness since coming here and gained a new version of yourself, haven’t you?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had left her parents long ago, so she needed to remain independent now too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That’s right…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was one of the Ten Spears. If anything, she was the group manager and she had to appear on the front line with Fukushima to support the others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fighting a duel out of pure personal spite was far too out of character for someone like that. The others would likely be disturbed by how different she seemed filled with this reckless anger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Calm yourself, Katou Kiyomasa. Take a deep breath and refocus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She looked up to see the ninja pick up her mother while ready to make an escape. Her mother blushed a bit with ether light spilling from her hair.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Th-thank you, Master Tenzou!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Judge. Hold on tight!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deep in her mind, Kiyomasa felt like she had been given permission for a great many things related to someone other than her mother. Yes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“G-get back here!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She pursued with Caledfwlch in thruster mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mitotsudaira was glad she didn’t have to deal with the mess surrounding the 1st Special Duty Officer, or Mary really.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the same time, Kasuya raised her right hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;What now?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While Mitotsudaira tilted her head, Kasuya checked her nonhuman unit’s invasion report on a lernen figur and sent authorizations. With that done…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Um, may I speak?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Story Synopsis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the distant future, Earth has been devastated and its inhabitants seek a new home in the heavens. However, constant warfare forces humans to return to Earth, which has turned into an uninhabitable planet except for a certain area called the Divine States.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Divine States are too small to accommodate all the humans, so they duplicated the area and created the Harmonic Divine States. In order to retrace their steps and rediscover their journey to the heavens, the returned humans began to reproduce history from the year 10,000 BC, using a mysterious history book called Testament.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
History reproduction proceeds smoothly until A.D. 1413, when a war broke out in the Divine States. This causes the Harmonic Divine States to crash onto the original world. The humans living in the Harmonic Divine States lose their land and invade the original world. The people of the Divine States surrender and they are divided by the invaders from the Harmonic Divine States. They try to resume the reproduction of history from A.D.1457, but the update of history terminates in A.D.1648. A rumor of apocalypse begins to spread around the world.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Chapter 27: Answerer at the Questioning==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Horizon10B_p0091.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I mean&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;You know how it is&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Sometimes you just&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Get hit really hard&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Point Allocation (Do You Ever Not?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Masazumi saw words of protest on her sign frame.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Asama:&#039;&#039;&#039; ‘Hold on! Why Toori-kun too!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I suppose I should answer that,&#039;&#039; she thought, but someone else responded before she could.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tachibana Wife:&#039;&#039;&#039; “I have a theory regarding that.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That someone was the Tachibana Wife who had been with Tres España back then. She would likely have a clearer answer then Masazumi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President “The Andamio de la Ejecución system could accomplish it, right?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tachibana Wife:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Judge. If the Andamio de la Ejecución’s light were fully established, it would have broken down Horizon-sama. But this does not happen instantaneously. And even after she has been broken down, a defensive wall of light is maintained to keep anyone from entering.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tachibana Wife:&#039;&#039;&#039; “If the Chancellor lost the Vicereine before his eyes and touched the wall out of sorrow, he would have been executed in the same way.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Yeah, that had to be it,&#039;&#039; thought Masazumi as this logic settled inside her as something other than relief.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why had Katagiri asked to have the rest of them suspended instead of just Horizon and Aoi?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Even if our attempt to retrieve Horizon at Mikawa failed, the Musashi would have taken off. So even with our ‘failure’, we would have returned to the Musashi and fled.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Sticky King:&#039;&#039;&#039; “But then how would we have defended against the attack from the Papa Schola’s ship? We sank it with Horizon’s Lype Katathlipse.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Aoi and Horizon’s death meant victory for K.P.A. Italia. We lost and fled. The Papa Schola would have proven their righteousness and retrieved the extracted Olos Phtonos. With no reason to sink the defeated Musashi, why take the risk?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But that was where things would have gotten difficult.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Novice:&#039;&#039;&#039; “The Student Council would have had to do something about the pressure from the people and the mood of war weariness.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Seeking a connection to the Testament Union, we would have gone to England. I imagine it was a challenge without our results at Mikawa or the Logismoi Oplo, so the Armada Battle was probably fought jointly with the English navy instead of by the Musashi alone. …That wouldn’t leave us able to ask many favors of England, but we would have recovered some. And we probably worked to strengthen the Musashi and look to the future.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If they had a chance, it would have come after that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “If there was anything working in our favor, it would be that ‘Hashiba’s Ten Spears’ in that world were the Sanada Ten Braves. And without any knowledge of the future, Lord Motonobu would have made fewer preparations, allowing us to make some advances from there. If we completed talks with Anne similarly, I imagine we considered ‘what Aoi and Horizon would have done’, which took us along a similar path to where we are now. And…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At that point, the rest was simple.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “At Westphalia, we asked to have the Logismoi Oplo returned as a memento of Horizon. The Genesis Project wouldn’t have been corrected in that world, so &#039;&#039;the Nobunaga we met&#039;&#039; wouldn’t be there. It would be up to us. But the old Genesis Project based on the Logismoi Oplo failed and the world was doomed.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At that point, something else clicked into place.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why had the Ten Spears been allowed into Avalon?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Carrying out the Genesis Project must have meant a large-scale battle or risk. I bet we asked to shelter inside Avalon as payment or as compensation if it failed.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wait.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asama saw Horizon raise her right hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asama knew what she wanted to say. Masazumi’s scenario made sense as an altered form of the path they had taken, but it made no sense on the personal side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Horizey:&#039;&#039;&#039; “We were just told that Toori-sama and I had a child. How could that happen if the two of us were lost at Mikawa?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Exactly. And that question also applied to more of them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Asama:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Our cases wouldn’t work without Toori-kun being alive either, right?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Silver Wolf:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Right, but…someone here claims to be me and my king’s child.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Bell:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Um…uh…could it be…some kind of misunderstanding?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Oh, Suzu-san sounds like she would be disappointed to find it isn’t true!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Suzu had expressed her feelings for him during the Battle of Mikawa. The thought of failing there and losing him had to be a deeply disturbing one for her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was for Asama too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Do you know how hard it was to bring myself to approve the use of Toori-kun’s supply spell?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had wanted to support him however she could. But what if that led to him being lost?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“–––––”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That meaningless thought made her gulp just before a sign frame appeared before her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was from Naito and Naruze. Light briefly enveloped their shared communication sign frame and then…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Art-Ga:&#039;&#039;&#039; “This isn’t going to be an easy discussion, but we do have an answer there. It’s right here in front of us.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Naito flew high up in the sky.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Too far up for the Azuchi or Musashi’s artillery to reach. The two ships were moving, so it took a fair amount of power to fly along with them, but…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;They guided us up here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Katou Yoshiaki and Wakisaka Angie of the Ten Spears.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Those two arrived to threaten Naito and Naruze’s air superiority between the two ships, but they didn’t put up much of a fight. Which made sense seeing how their schale besens were missing components and badly worn down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While Naito and Naruze weren’t arrogant enough to think they could definitely win, they had been curious why that pair had taken an obvious ascent as if to draw their attention.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then came the family announcement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Those two had seemed to wait up in a sky of pure altitude and speed, simply keeping their distance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They hadn’t introduced themselves. As if to say they didn’t need to. That felt very Techno-Hexen-ish and just like something Naito and Naruze would do. And if they ever did have kids, they would probably teach them to only give the bare minimum of a greeting to strangers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But did they qualify as strangers to those two?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They had exchanged what could be seen as greetings a few times.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So that was good enough.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And Naruze sighed while flying alongside Naito.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So instead of getting a read on them, it’s like getting a read on ourselves? It feels a little stifling. But…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They had a clear answer to Horizon and the others’ question.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Art-Ga:&#039;&#039;&#039; “I can say one thing for certain about the two flying alongside us now. Now that I look at them, they do seem to be Margot’s and my children.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Gold Mar:&#039;&#039;&#039; “You can find children of mixed Non-Angel parentage – like half Descended Angel and half Fallen Angel – around Musashi, but the most commonly inherited traits are the color of the wings and the hair or the shape of the wings. And looking at these two, I’d say Ga-chan is right about them very likely being our children. …Do you get what that means?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was their conclusion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Gold Mar:&#039;&#039;&#039; “There’s no man in this equation. So you could say one of us was the husband and the other the wife. No, with us I feel like it’s just two wives.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Silver Wolf:&#039;&#039;&#039; “…What? You mean that can happen between two women?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Gold Mar:&#039;&#039;&#039; “The Protestants have been researching it and were getting all excited about it a while back. So maybe they got it working in the future?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Asama:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Then, um, uh…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Art-Ga:&#039;&#039;&#039; “With even a single hair, you can create a child with your loved one. And I expect there would also be technology to do it outside the body, so it would even possible to do it without the woman.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kimi realized Horizon had lowered her gaze.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Oh, dear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What is it, Horizon?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Horizon gently angled her body. And she tilted her head as if trying to work something out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This is getting a little…complicated.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, dear. Horizon? What happened? You look so thoughtful.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Beyond Horizon, Asama gave Kimi a nod to say “you handle this”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Then I need to be a proper older sister here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While Kimi smiled bitterly on the inside, Horizon spoke, her head still lowered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I was only just rejoicing at learning that Toori-sama and I had a child when it turns out we actually died and someone else set up that connection between us.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You make such a wonderful recapper, Horizon!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But she had more to say.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“In that case…how are Toori-sama and I supposed to celebrate that child?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Horizon?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hm? What is it, Kimi-sama?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Horizon looked Kimi in the eye, Kimi placed her right hand on her cheek.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Heh heh. If you try to tell me that child wasn’t celebrate, I will slap you, okay? Also, Horizon. I asked you what &#039;&#039;happened&#039;&#039;.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Well…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What &#039;&#039;happened&#039;&#039;, Horizon?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Horizon did not respond. She simply widened her eyes slightly and stared at Kimi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So Kimi continued.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Nothing at all has &#039;&#039;happened&#039;&#039; has it? After all, you are getting all worked up over it because it &#039;&#039;hasn’t happened&#039;&#039; yet. Maybe it did &#039;&#039;happen&#039;&#039; in the Ten Spears’ future, but it &#039;&#039;hasn’t happened yet&#039;&#039; here and we can still make sure it happens in the happiest possible way.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You and my foolish brother were not lost at Mikawa, so &#039;&#039;none of that will happen&#039;&#039; and anything and everything &#039;&#039;can happen&#039;&#039;.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She placed her hands on her future sister-in-law’s cheek and gently massaged them as she spoke.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So again: what &#039;&#039;happened&#039;&#039;, Horizon?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Judge! Something good happened.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“And what is that?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This version of me can join Toori-sama, you, Asama-sama, Mitotsudaira-sama, and all the rest in celebrating any future children. That has happened.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yes.” Kimi could feel herself smiling as she gently hugged Horizon. “Someone in the future decided to be considerate in a very silly way.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I-it wasn’t meeee,” insisted Asama.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Heh heh. You have your hands full already. But I just know this was thanks to me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What was, Kimi-sama?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Because I brush my foolish brother’s hair at home. And while our hair is so similar, I have a brush just for him because his is short. And I only let him brush my hair.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Horizey:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Kimi-sama, um…that is quite the merciless counterattack after everything we’ve been discussing.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Asama:&#039;&#039;&#039; “That explains why Toori-kun uses so few of comb charms among the daily life support spells and charms I periodically give him.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Silver Wolf:&#039;&#039;&#039; “It also explains why my king is so good at brushing my hair.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Wise Sister:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Heh heh heh. The lesson here is to just go for it even if you know you’re several steps behind!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asama had been feeling some light despair when she looked to the sign frame next to her. Naito was speaking there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Gold Mar:&#039;&#039;&#039; “But what about Horizon’s hair? They’d have to get it from somewhere.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maybe the Blue Thunder? Or maybe it could be found by searching the Tama room she had stayed in back then, but…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Art-Ga:&#039;&#039;&#039; “But it would be a lot harder to do if it was dirty.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Horizey:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Then what about Caretaker-sama?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asama gave Horizon a questioning look and Horizon nodded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She pulled a filled teacup from the space behind her before continuing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Caretaker-sama was the name of the Tres España student who was tasked with looking after the tragic and stunningly beautiful automa-geh…with looking after me. Were you not aware of her?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;That definitely wasn’t her name!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asama nearly ran a search but stopped herself. But Horizon took a sip of tea and continued.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“She brushed my hair. If some was preserved as a keepsake after my death, then the aforementioned process would likely work. …And it is all thanks to Caretaker-sama.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tachibana Wife:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Um, I feel like I should mention that any student placed in that position would be a former name inheritor who would have both skill in combat and social status even if she no longer had any political influence.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Horizey:&#039;&#039;&#039; “My goodness! You mean Caretaker-sama was in fact an important character!? I should have known! Her choice of books was surprisingly aggressive and really helped me pass the time!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You’re so silly.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asama nodded when Kimi turned her way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I know. …That me must have kept her lid on and done something stupid. Mito probably did too.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Judge. Maybe you thought that would bring him back. You must have volunteered as soon as you learned you could have his child. But aren’t you glad?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Glad that isn’t how it has to happen now?” asked Asama.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No.” Kimi pointed at him and Horizon. “That version of you must have gone, ‘Oh, I bet Toori-kun wouldn’t have wanted this. Oh, no. What have I done?’ and started wiggling around all- what’s this, Asama? That smile is terrifying.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;But I probably did worry about that afterwards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, that wasn’t the point. She knew what Kimi was trying to say.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The current Toori-kun and Horizon…have both accepted Mito and me. I think our future selves wanted it to be this way and wanted some way to keep Toori-kun and Horizon from being lost.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If her future self was unsure if she had done the right thing, she wanted to tell her that those two did in fact want this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Heh heh. It all worked out in the end, but you really shouldn’t take things in such weird directions. Now that you’ve removed your lid, you need to make sure you don’t do anything like that.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;It did work out, didn’t it?&#039;&#039; thought Masazumi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;The Ten Spears’ claim had sounded absurd, but they were beginning to work out the details now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She felt layering speculation atop speculation was dangerous, but she also thought it was important to keep this momentum going.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “We have a general grasp of the situation, Hashiba Ten Spears.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The battlefield was on the move. Take Balfette for example.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Flat Vassal:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Oh! Are you done with your family verification discussion!? Meanwhile, I’m making a curve along Asakusa’s bridge while dodging three beams!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If a single vassal could distract one of the enemy’s name inheritors, was that a small price to pay? Or was it a waste of a resource as valuable as Balfette? It was hard to say.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But Masazumi know it was her turn even if the battle was still raging.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s time to negotiate. Even if I doubt it will take long to reach a conclusion.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She then spoke to the enemy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hashiba Ten Spears. I, Musashi Vice President Honda Masazumi, would like to once more inquire about the purpose of this battle. Where does the line between victory and defeat lie for you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takenaka wasn’t sure if she should step forward here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Musashi and Azuchi were battling as they flew toward Osaka Bay. Most of the fighting aboard the Musashi was over the corridors leading from bow to stern on the third port ship, but the Ten Spears were not participating.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For them this was the Battle of Yamazaki.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But the Ten Spears and the Musashi’s main fighters were engaged in a very different fight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was not a fight between Akechi and Hashiba.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a fight to determine the path the world would take: Genesis Project or no Genesis Project?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And they had established the foundation needed to justify their fight. They had announced why it was they wanted duels with the Musashi fighters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“ ‘Azuchi’, how are the other nations reacting?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Shaja. The national, state, union, and federation level European academies have requested we relay this conversation to them and to attach a log. Some of them have gone through the Testament Union, but quite a few are reaching out independently. Shaja.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was going well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;From a purely Hashiba viewpoint, they only had the Battle of Komaki Nagakute left.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Politically, Hashiba would win that battle, but it was actually a defeat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was also the showdown at Sekigahara, but Hashiba’s Western Army would lose there too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So as things were, Hashiba was facing a future of continual losses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But not so with the Ten Spears. Their clear rejection of Musashi made them into a political card that transcended Hashiba’s history recreation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With them around, conquest of the Far East need not be handed to Musashi as the descendants of the Matsudaira clan. And when Musashi attempted to accomplish anything, the Ten Spears could ask “won’t they just fail?” to drag Musashi down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was the political card the Ten Spears possessed from knowing about Musashi’s failure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They had set things up for that and now they had revealed the truth. Which probably explained what was happening now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kuro-Take:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Here it comes. …Musashi Vice President, can you hear my voice?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Yes, it seems like I’m not a part of all this…and I take it the same is true for you.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kuro-Take:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Testament. Mitsunari-kun and I are outsiders. You can think of us like infrastructure managers. Although our role right now is a little different.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But,” she began.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kuro-Take:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Are you willing to speak with me?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Will you put on Katagiri Katsumoto instead?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That seemed like the right thing to do. After all, for the Ten Spears and Musashi, this conflict was not the Battle of Yamazaki – it was the first step toward deciding how to think of themselves as parents and children.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While Takenaka was one of the Ten Spears, she was unrelated to all that, so why should she speak here? And the Musashi Vice President understood she was in a similar position.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Then put on Katagiri. I will get someone else to speak on our behalf.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Testament,” replied Takenaka, opening a lernen figur.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Katagiri-kun, it’s negotiation time. I doubt this will last long, but we’re counting on you.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Katagiri knew the time had finally come.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He had been actively explaining things for them before, but once they all began determining the truth of the matter individually, that role was no longer needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was a problem.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;But only I can break free of this stalemate!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The rest of the Ten Spears were seeing the people they had wanted to see and explaining the truths they held so dear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If Musashi could be convinced to accept and obey the Genesis Project here, the conflict against them didn’t have to happen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It made sense.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They had come from the future and joined the Genesis Project. The Double Border Crest had appeared whenever they revealed the truth, but they had managed to convey a few fragmentary pieces. Of course, those fragments hadn’t escaped the Double Border Crest, but they had strengthened the Genesis Project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They had now distanced themselves from destiny using the vessel named Nobunaga. Now for the first time since they were extracted into this era, they need not fear destiny or the Double Border Crest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Only the Genesis Project could stop the Apocalypse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Logismoi Oplo would not work. So…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Yes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Ten Spears had the advantage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Musashi had no plan for the Apocalypse, but they did.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So now they only had to settle things here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The conflict between them had yet to begin. If they could settle this now, that conflict could be avoided and they could work with the people who were essentially their parents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Testament.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;I need to do this right.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A lernen figur appeared before him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From his negotiation partner. Who would Musashi’s Vice President choose to speak on her behalf? Maybe the Representative Committee Head?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Katagiri had seen the records from the Keichou Campaign, so he knew Musashi’s Representative Committee Head was quite skilled. He told himself to be careful just before the text appeared on the lernen figur.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Bell:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Um…y-you really want me…to negotiate…Masazumi?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;She chose my mother of all people!?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Suzu honestly didn’t understand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had taken a seat at the negotiating table at Masazumi’s insistence, but…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Will the bridge…be all right?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When she turned to face that direction, “Musashi” and the others raised a hand. That meant they could handle it, but that would only be because they were flying a straight shot toward Osaka Bay.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Trusting Masazumi’s assurance that this wouldn’t take long, she opened her mouth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Wh-what should I say?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Masazumi had told her to just voice her thoughts, so in an attempt to form a mental image of her negotiating partner…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Bell:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Katagiri…-kun?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;AnG:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Huh? Hate for Kacky just skyrocketed on the Azuchi’s local divine net for some reason. What’s up with that?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kimee:&#039;&#039;&#039; “I seem to recall his mother having a lot of fans in our era too.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;The Boy:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Wait, what? All I’m doing is talking with my mother!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Suzu realized he wasn’t responding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Huh?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His name was Katagiri Katsumoto, wasn’t it? Did she have it wrong?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Bell:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Katagiri-kun?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Was that wrong?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Bell:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Katagiri-san?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No, that didn’t work either.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Bell:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Katsumoto-kun?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Still nothing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asama realized he was poking at her right arm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Past him, Kimi was trying with all her might to suppress her laughter and Asama knew she would learn why that was later. For now…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What is it, Toori-kun?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Well, uh, I wanted to give Bell-san a warning, but it would be awkward coming from me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh,” she said in understanding. This likely applied to Horizon, Mitotsudaira, and her as well. Simply put…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Do you see how being the father can be difficult, Toori-kun?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Suzu converted Asama’s sign frame to speech and then blushed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Thank you, Asama-san!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was glad this came from Asama. Because Asama wouldn’t tease her about it. But now she knew she hadn’t properly understood.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Bell:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Sorry…about that.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;The Boy:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Huh? About what?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Bell:&#039;&#039;&#039; “For not…understanding you.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had been wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He wasn’t Katagiri. Nor was he Katsumoto.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Ten Spears’ names came from the Hashiba Seven Spears. And they had taken those names after driving away the original name inheritors – the Sanada Ten Braves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;That means they had different names…in their future at Avalon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Realizing that, she considered what it would have been like “back then”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Toori-kun and Horizon…weren’t there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Main Blue Thunder hadn’t been in its current state. In that case, this boy wouldn’t have been “Katagiri”. Instead…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Bell:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Your family name…is Mukai, isn’t it?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;The Boy:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Oh, testament. It is.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Wow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I’m so stupid,&#039;&#039; she thought. &#039;&#039;The me “back then” was so stupid. I didn’t have the courage to go to the Main Blue Thunder and tried to act like it didn’t bother me, but then that me takes such a weird step.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I know Asama-san, Kimi-chan, and the rest accepted it, but even after going that far, I still couldn’t bring myself to take that final step.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;His name.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The Ten Spears are mostly girls. In fact, they all are except for my child.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;As the only boy, I must have wanted to choose a name related to “him”. Directly naming him Toori would have been an option.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;But that wouldn’t be fair to Asama-san or Mitotsudaira-san.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;We each had our own feelings for those we had lost, but you can’t measure those feelings against each other or act like only you feel that way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;And because I couldn’t fully commit, I kept my distance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I love him. I especially love Toori-kun when he and Horizon are together. So…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Bell:&#039;&#039;&#039; “…Does it include the kanji from the word ‘together’?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;The Boy:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Eh?”’&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Correct. &#039;&#039;Then,&#039;&#039; she thought. Instead of forcing it, she just let the words form in her mind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;I wanted him to live, didn’t I?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So she would have gone with that. She had wanted this child to live and for them to be together forever, so a name that meant “live together”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Bell:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Ikuo.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;No. I know how I would refer to my own child.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Bell:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Ikuo-chan.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;AnG:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Wowwwwww! She actually guessed it!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kimee:&#039;&#039;&#039; “How the hell did she work that out?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tsurugi:&#039;&#039;&#039; “I do remember my mother having a lot of respect for Katagiri-kun’s mother, but was it for things like this?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Katagiri realized he had collapsed onto the wall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
More specifically, he was on the wall that had become a floor. He must have taken such severe damage he had briefly passed out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Wow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was incredible. He wanted to make a joke out of it and say “Musashi’s Acting Captain” was incredible, but it had been too incredible for him to even do that. It was so incredible his vocabulary had dried up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Oh.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A day like this and a situation like this must have been what they had truly wanted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Which meant they really couldn’t afford to lose those people. However…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;I can’t!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He didn’t see how he could possibly defeat this opponent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kuro-Take:&#039;&#039;&#039; “U-um, Katagiri-kun?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Sorry,” he said, collapsed on the wall anew.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;The Boy:&#039;&#039;&#039; “I admit…defeat.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Hmm, Mukai really is incredible at times like this. Her win rate must be 100%.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kuro-Take:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Hold iiiiit! Just a second, Musashi Vice President! That was a cheap trick choosing her!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Cheap? You did the same thing with the duels you set up.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kuro-Take:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Those are combat! This is negotiation! Bringing a family relationship into that is unfair, don’t you think?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “C’mon, quit complaining just cause you lost.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Naruze watched as the gold and white and black and black pair flew parallel to them and exchanged words via Magie Figur.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Kime-chan, Take sure is good friends with Musashi’s Vice President, huh?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s unusual to see her so lively.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Well,” interjected Naruze. “Our Vice President seems to be well-liked by older politicians.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh,” they looked up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The two exchanged a glance before…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Do you more or less get what our deal is?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now it was Naruze and Margot’s turn to exchange a glance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If you’ve inherited my dislike of unnecessary effort, is there any reason to go into it further?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Testament,” acknowledged the yellow one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then, without warning, Margot asked a question. Her golden feathers illuminated by the artillery fire below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Which of you is my child?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Getting right to it, huh, Margot!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But Margot was the thoughtful type. After considering a number of things, she must have decided this mattered. The gold and black pair exchanged another glance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was the gold one who responded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We were never told. Although it seems likely that I’m yours.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hearing that, Margot turned toward Naruze and with a straight face…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ga-chan, when we get married, I think we should do it like 30 times.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Agreed, Margot.” Naruze nodded. “Because this means our children will be &#039;&#039;our&#039;&#039; children and we won’t view one over the other.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She more or less understood what their agreement had to be.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“At the very least, we can’t let each other go until our children grow up. …So more than 30, we should get married once a month, once a week, or even once a day to make sure we’re always together, Margot.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“To be honest, I thought you were going to suggest we get married again at each new event.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You mean put out a book to commemorate our new marriage at each ImMoral Manga!? That’s a great idea!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Naruze forgot she was even riding her schale besen and leaned too far toward Margot, so she had to quickly regain her balance. After a corrective flap of her main wings, she took a breath. Then she looked to the other pair.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Did you hear that, Kime-chan?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yes, they really were like this before they got married.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Naruze felt bad letting them hear that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Yes,&#039;&#039; thought Yoshiaki. &#039;&#039;We need to protect them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Until now, they hadn’t been able to be open about this and those two had been a formidable enemy, so she hadn’t been able to think about it like this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But it was about protection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She would do whatever it took to stop them and ensure they weren’t lost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was what she wanted to do.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This relationship would be erased by the Genesis Project and not even her own relationship with Angie would remain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What kinds of relationships would they end up with after restarting from nothing?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But even that possibility would be lost if Musashi was left in charge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So she would stop them. But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Will it really be that easy?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She knew the Ten Spears had built up their strength, but she and Angie were lacking gear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Their mothers’ schale besens were vastly outdated compared to their own. But their mothers’ were complete and well-maintained.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Based on the records from Honnouji, those two had been held in reserve, although it might have simply worked out that way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Was that part of an intuition for combat they had developed over their many battles?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If it did come to a fight, defeating those two would not be easy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How could they go about it?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While Yoshiaki pondered that, Musashi’s Vice President spoke to Takenaka on the divine net.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “You have said a lot so far, but I have a suggestion for you.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To start with…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “You say you will stop us, but why? All we’ve done is wonder what to do now that we’ve learned the Logismoi Oplo can’t directly stop the Apocalypse.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takenaka nodded at the Musashi Vice President’s words.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;That’s probably true.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They weren’t going to agree just because Hashiba told them to understand and obey. Plus, Musashi hadn’t actually done anything yet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We won’t know until we try it,” was probably enough of a stance for Musashi at the moment. But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kuro-Take:&#039;&#039;&#039; “I’m sorry, but we know you will fail.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “How?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kuro-Take:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Then let me put it this way: why do you still want to be involved? You can’t use the Logismoi Oplo, so shouldn’t you let the Genesis Project take charge?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Because there is a diversity of possibilities.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Musashi Vice President’s words shot out at them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “This world contains countless opinions demonstrating so much diversity. There’s nothing wrong with coming together as a group to face a large problem like the Apocalypse, but what really matters is to actually ‘face it’ first. And in my opinion, when we do face that problem, we should search for as many diverse options as we can as long as there isn’t one definite best option.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kuro-Take:&#039;&#039;&#039; “And what if the Genesis Project already is the definite best option?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “How can you be so sure?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kuro-Take:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Because you will lose.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “And I’m saying…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They didn’t understand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the Ten Spears understood that they didn’t understand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Should I really be the one to tell them this?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But glancing over at the divine transmission showed Katagiri was still lying on the wall, occasionally rolling to the side and then rolling back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mommy shock must have hit him hard. She figured he would get used to it, but it would take time for someone like him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was the only one free to talk. So she did so.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kuro-Take:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Because your opponent is destiny.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Chapter 2: Those That Didn’t Make It @ Palm Tree Shopping District==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 1===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The latest rumors? Let me think…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, about five years ago there was a fire at a pretty big shrine deep in the forests of western Japan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The shrine and its grounds were totally destroyed, leaving nothing behind. Apparently a lot of the people who worked at the shrine died and it still hasn’t been rebuilt. I heard it even lost its position as a…religious corporation? You know, that framework created by the government.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But the real rumor is that the shrine still exists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tucked away in a corner of the internet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The shrine, its grounds, and the people who ran it were all burned, yet the shrine’s official site lives on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Supposedly the site is still being updated from time to time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But who could be doing it?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Did someone from the shrine survive, has some stranger taken over the site, or are these updates coming…from beyond the grave.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are plenty of additional rumors about that site.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, the shrine’s site is hidden away where you can’t find it with a normal search engine, but once you visit it…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s all nonsense.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yahirodono Tsumugi complained to the message board on her phone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That tended to be the case with random rumors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was in the detective agency’s nap room. But while it was called that, it was effectively her second bedroom. The office was rented by Detective Hisame Kouga, but if the black-haired girl ever found him hanging around in the nap room, she would probably be miffed. …Not angry, though.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Everything here is his. Because he took me in from the burned-down shrine and then lent me a home like this.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A sliver of the tropical morning sun shined brightly in through a gap in the closed electric curtain. It was comfortable in here thanks to air conditioning, but in the world just outside the glass, it looked like another scorcher was brewing. The thin thread of light traced its way along the girl’s thigh.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was in her underwear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi was seated on the small bed with her arms around her knees. The gyaru sister had once pouted her lips and said, if that pose naturally squashed your boobs, it was proof that yours were “truly big”, but while it did happen for Tsumugi, she wasn’t sure why it mattered. She languidly stared at the inside of the electric curtain. She had not discovered any kind of new information. She always did this first thing after waking up. She never remembered it, but maybe this meant she dreamt of old times every night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of the time before it all burned down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of the priest and all the older shrine maidens who had spoke so proudly of the shrine’s more than a millennium of history.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of those few people even in Japan who could carry out real exorcisms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Their last job was five years ago.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She roughly lifted the long hair from her face with a hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She spoke out loud to confirm the information and solidify her own mental image.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“They were tasked with purifying the site before construction of New Sea City began. To pray for the safety of a once-a-century project even greater than an international airport or rocket launch site. It should have been done by the priest’s shrine. And would have &#039;&#039;if that hadn’t happened&#039;&#039;.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fire filled her mind’s eye.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She saw the torii, the sacred tree, the shrine office, and the main shrine blazing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;And she saw that woman flickering among the flames.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She intentionally drove the nightmare from her mind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
149 deaths. Could anyone have benefited from that horrific incident? Almost certainly. As many as had suffered from it. Count up both sides there and the number had to be in the thousands. Which made it nearly impossible to identify the culprit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And because the purification of the building site was canceled, the ritual meant to ensure safety remained incomplete…or had possibly been maliciously altered. That could even explain the unusual quantity of Malign Spirits in such a new city.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Who was it?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had asked this question thousands, if not tens of thousands, of times.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That woman had been dyed red by the flames as she stood directly below the torii burning even more brightly than its vermilion lacquer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She undoubtedly carried the most fearsome rank in the country. She was the only known Quintuple Dread Star.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Which meant the number of lives taken by that terrible Malign Spirit reached five digits…and that was only the &#039;&#039;known&#039;&#039; deaths.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“&#039;&#039;Who was it that summoned you&#039;&#039;?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the other side of the door.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Someone stood tall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A girl of only 10 stood tall and was clearly upset even this early in the morning. Her name was Hanagushi Temari. Detective Hisame Kouga sat seiza-style on the floor, so even the little girl in a frilly blouse and jeans stood taller than him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The usual ritual had begun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the girl peered at him from the right, her hands on her hips, Hisame Kouga turned his face to the left. When the little girl tried again from the left, his gaze fled to the other side. The process repeated a few more times before any words left the 10-year-old’s lips. In an icy voice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Look at me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…Yes, ma’am.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What do you mean you can’t pay this month’s rent?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Princess. Japan has a saying: you cannot shake sleeves you do not possess. Since that saying has survived into modern times, we can tell just how many Japanese have loved and identified with the saying and kept it in use. Thus, not paying your bills is a national-”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Nwohh! You must be working since you’re always so busy. I’ve been watching, you know!? So how in the world is it you’re always in the red every single month and don’t have enough to pay your rent!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…This month, the problem was the torn guardrails and meters-long hand prints in the asphalt of the haunted Overlook Bridge courtesy of the Ghastly Crusher’s ultimate slaps, but there was no point in explaining that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Especially for Tsumugi who had risked her life to battle the Malign Spirit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not to mention that the landlord’s daughter, and thus the tiny commander of the rent retrieval squad, wasn’t at all interested in that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Can’t you work a side job alongside your detective work? Like flipping burgers?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If I did that, it would probably turn into my primary job.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“And what’s the problem with that? Open a burger shop and start paying your rent like an honest citizen!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The nap room’s door opened.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The online shrine maiden muttered sleepily with only the top of her shrine maiden outfit thrown on, leaving her bright thighs bare.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“When’s breakfast?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 2===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s time to explore Yahirodono Tsumugi’s home!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“C’mon, don’t be like that. We’re schoolgirls and its after school. Shouldn’t we be having a ton of fun to boost our affection meters to the max? Like sitting around a table full of drinks and chips and discussing ways to revive your shrine.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With school out and her homework already done, Tsumugi was preparing to head home when someone grabbed at her shoulders. Tightly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her gaze wanted to escape to her phone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“C’mon, shrine maiden whose boobs absorbed all her height. We’re friends, aren’t we?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I-if you have to ask that, it seems to me the answer is probably no. …But what’s with the tennis clothes?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“While I’m not officially on any team, I do help several of them out. This is the real deal with the special underwear below☆”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gyaru sister grabbed her miniskirt in both hands and playfully waved it around. Could she be the kind of person who felt the need to wait until she had showered and let her hair dry before she changed into her uniform? …Apparently so.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi stuck her thin leather school bag in the box below the seat of the rental aquamobile and took a large step to board it. She didn’t even sense when the facial recognition unlocked it for her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then she attached two hairpin-like objects to the back of her head. Those were her helmet. She ran a test with her phone that inflated and deflated something like a flat paper balloon shaped to envelop her head. It was designed to work with tilt sensors to automatically activate, but she had never been in a situation requiring it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Is this really safe?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The aquamobile was something like a personal watercraft that could also travel on land, or like a snowmobile that floated in the ocean. At any rate, it was an amphibious vehicle. Cars and motorcycles required a driver’s license in New Sea City, but it was also a strange city where anyone was free to operate &#039;&#039;dangerous and unapproved&#039;&#039; new tech in the name of field testing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With Terminal Float in the center, a few dozen megafloats were linked together in a fan shape with countless ocean canals running through them like leaf veins, so vehicles were about evenly split between land and sea. Traffic conditions could be checked on the phone attached to the handlebars, so they chose the ocean canals which were currently clear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And while the two aquamobiles raced along side by side…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We’re going to your place, right!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yes, yes.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Then I know what achievement I’m unlocking next: bathing with a shortstack who probably has a hell of a time finding bras that fit. There’s no stopping me now (wink).”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What if speed up and leave you in my dust?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unfortunately, both rental aquamobiles were restricted to the same max speed. Even traveling side by side, the wind made it hard to hear each other, so they tended to speak through the phones attached to the handlebars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not all the ocean canals were the same. Some were 50m wide like the one Mincemeat Drawbridge crossed, but this one was about the size of a small street. The smallest ones could be hopped over on foot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gyaru sister asked something while the contents of the boxy school bag forcibly carried on her back clattered around.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“By the way, aren’t you gonna do anything to keep me quiet? I mean, I saw the underside of the world and learned all those secrets about evil spirits and stuff. So aren’t you going to create a cute summer-exclusive LR shikigami and send her to watch over me to make sure I don’t spill the beans? I’ll even accept a monster type if it looks like a cute plush.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Why do you sound so happy about that?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If I am going to be caught up in something, it might as well be as fun as possible, right? Well, I already know I’ll be part of some bizarre action stuff, so bring on the legendary rares!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Shikigamis aren’t my specialty and I haven’t even been taught onmyodo. …Besides, I don’t need to keep you quiet.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, you trust me that much? Go me! I’ve won this shrine maiden’s trust in record time!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You have no traditional background to support your claims, so no one will believe a word you say about the occult. Telling people you saw a ghost will only ruin your own credibility. Upload a video of you making the claim online and it will, well, haunt you for the rest of your life.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, I see. So it’s like that, is it?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s like the risk of artificial additives.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No one wants to know the risks that would be a real problem for them. Everyone wants to spy on the secrets of different industries, but the truths they want to find are the ‘&#039;&#039;Oh, is that all?&#039;&#039;’ ones. It would be a problem for all of them if there was a real threat there. That’s why no one believes in spiritual phenomena. The power of groups is a frightening thing. Viewing the dangerous as safe has the shared benefit of putting everyone at ease, so it is a very powerful effect.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Come to think of it, wasn’t it around here?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Huh? Mugikko, are you taking a detour to the shopping district?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“More or less.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With that curt reply, Tsumugi drove up the ramp-like harbor to exit the ocean canal and got off the aquamobile on the sidewalk. For some reason, Rainy pouted her lips, bent over, and leaned on an n-shaped bollard pole. She forcibly squished he boobs against it and spread her arms in a mysterious pose of invitation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What? Is this not enough for you, shrine maiden? Then I’ll put some real heart into it: fall in lovey-lovey-looove☆”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:75%&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Your sister is right behind you and that is your problem to deal with.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Nwohhhhh, why are you staring at my underwear, Yuhi!?” “It’s kind of hard not to when you put it on display for everyone to see, Onee-chan!!” The angry shouting (with one of them sticking her miniskirted butt out behind her) scared Tsumugi, so she kept out of it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Anyway, Yuhi, are you on the way to a meeting at the TV station?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’m still not done discussing this with you and you still haven’t apologized.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So are you here for library committee stuff? That would explain why you’re walking around in this heat instead of studying for your entrance exam.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gyaru sister pushed past the issue with a smile.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They had already released the rental acquamobiles onto the land street. They would use their rubber continuous tracks to either automatically return to one of the charging stations around the city or be rented by someone else first.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The two other than the gyaru sister were sort of awkward together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hello… I am Betsuzaki Yuhi. I think this is my first time introducing myself?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yuhi-chan. Th-th-that’s a really normal name compared to your sister…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That’s the thing, Mugikko. Our stupid parents learned their lesson with me and went with something normal for their second kid. But it really hurts her if you call it plain or boring, so be careful, okay?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Don’t worry. She can’t do more damage than you already have, Onee-chan you dumbass.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For some reason, they ended up friending each other on social media too. Was this like how grownups would exchange business cards?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was no need to tell Yuhi about the online shrine and all that. This would be sufficient to contact each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That aside, Tsumugi noticed Yuhi had a slightly mismatched way of speaking. She used a more boyish first-person pronoun, but otherwise spoke normally for a girl.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Have you ever heard that a soccer player who initially learns to kick the ball with the wrong foot and then later corrects that habit can turn into someone who can shoot with either foot when necessary?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“When she was little she talked just like a boy, but she started trying to fix that when she got self conscious around the teacher she fell in love with. Ugh, what a waste. She was so cute back when she was following me around talking like that.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:75%&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Do you have to bring that up…?&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;” said a barely audible voice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apparently that was a touchy subject Yuhi didn’t want to be teased about. Tsumugi had far too many of those herself. This was also a good lesson in how dangerous it could be to have a sister. That gyaru sister could be frightening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ah ha ha. Everyone’s got their little quirks. I mean, so do you, Mugikko.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“M-me? Eh? Eh? Where?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Right there. You start to use a more feminine first-person pronoun and then chicken out.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Working hard to break free of your shyness?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now it was the online shrine maiden’s turn to puff her cheeks out like a squirrel and tremble. With tears in her eyes. Why was she being teased here when she wasn’t even Rainy’s sister!?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apparently none of it mattered to Rainy herself. The verbal machinegun continued as the three of them walked through the shopping district.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So then I told that worried guy: It sounds to me like you what you wanted wasn’t to build a party of only female characters to enjoy a harem adventure, but to make the main character a girl and go hunting giant enemies like that. …You want to &#039;&#039;be&#039;&#039; the cute girl avatar (with a deep, sexy voice). So go ahead and make your VLTuber debut and become the ultimate heroine of your dreams! Heh hehh!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Onee-chan, how did you get sidetracked this far from talking about our favorite miso soup ingredients?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Maybe some slight shaking ordinary people can’t pick up has rattled her brain? These megafloats are out on the ocean. And there was already something wrong with her from the moment she began – with no prompting – to talk about about which of the green onion and tofu was the seme and which was the uke. …Oh.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What is it, Yahirodono-san?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“There really is one here. Excuse me a moment.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The straitlaced sister watched on in confusion as the online shrine maiden lit a bundle of incense sticks with an oil lighter. When she waved those side to side, spreading smoke around, something appeared even in the blazing shopping district full of bright sunlight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shock covered Yuhi’s face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Whoa!? …There’s, what? Just a back coming out of the wall?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Looks like she’s fused with the wall. A woman must have melted into it from the other side. Probably died alone and- &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;gyah&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Both sisters must have passed their limit and tearfully grabbed onto Tsumugi. It was the standard test of courage reaction, but it was a bit much in the blazing sun. It was also dangerous when she was holding the incense sticks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ugh, pwah. Most Malign Spirits are a mutation of the soul caused by the conditions of their death, so there are a lot of failures that end up unable to move at all. Then they are either bound to a location or become a stain on the wall.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So is that why you end up with toilet ghosts? I can’t imagine someone choosing to haunt a bathroom.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was unlikely this ghost could do anything with only a back, but a Malign Spirit was a Malign Spirit. Tsumugi handed the incense sticks to the gyaru sister and dealt with it using a bottle rocket. But that wasn’t the end.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wh-what? Why is there just a head sticking out of the vending machine slot? Where even is that guy’s body?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“He must have died a fairly dramatic death. Oh, move your legs, there’s one under the car too.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Setting off bottle rockets and firecrackers around town could easily cause a panic, but this was a tourist city floating in the ocean. No one noticed as long as she matched the timing to loud noises occurring outside the Groan’s range: a parade using explosives, an LCD ad truck loudly playing a trailer for an online drama full of gunfire, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The straitlaced sister’s eyes darted here and there in fright.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“By the way, Yahirodono-san, I like the way you fan the fireworks out in your hand like that. It’s like a magic trick.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Do they teach that in shrine maiden training? You have great control. There must be a long history behind that technique.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…It was probably best if she didn’t tell them she had learned to do this by practicing fanning out out the somen noodles before putting them in the pot. She had only received that oil lighter &#039;&#039;after&#039;&#039; the shrine burned down, after all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So you even defeat the little ones?” curiously asked Yuhi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Their strength doesn’t matter. When a truly harmless person dies, they go to the underworld without any lingering regrets. That a Malign Spirit remains in this world is enough to know they are made of regret and jealousy. So whenever I notice one, I make sure to deal with it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Huh? But didn’t you say something about being given jobs? Don’t you wait until someone hires you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If these Single Dread Star weaklings are allowed to grow, I might have to risk my life battling them later. Besides, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth to wait until someone’s killed and a job comes in.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As they approached the train station, they began seeing a lot of weird people around: a miniskirt maid washing a shop window with a Febseze exorcism set, a strange female fortuneteller, a self-proclaimed spiritual underground idol whose performances in small clubs were supposedly always accompanied by a spectral appearance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The adults in the high-tech corporations working in this city have to be aware of the existence of Malign Spirits and the Groan. Even if they refuse to publicly acknowledge it. I mean, whenever a Malign Spirit appears, all the drones and self-driving vehicles in the area run into trouble, so it directly affects their results.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“They know it’s so dangerous? Then why do they stay here in New Sea City?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Malign Spirits don’t only appear here.” The modern shrine maiden conveyed a frightening truth to the ignorant straitlaced sister. “This is the country’s largest public road testing area and there are tax breaks for working here. Anyone who wants to be the leader in the fields of self-driving, powered suits, transportation mobility, and drones is best off sticking with New Sea City even if it comes with some risk. That said, they don’t want people demanding a recall because of unexplainable errors, so a lot of my jobs come from large corporations wanting to keep this all a secret.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Huh? So you mean you’re fighting for the benefit of us all? That’s so cool!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The burning sacred tree, shrine office, and main shrine. The blazing torii. And the woman standing below it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…My motivations aren’t all that great.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyway.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This city is only three years old. This is probably the only city of a million permanent residents in the country without a single large Buddhist temple or Shinto shrine. That creates a lot of room for niche industries.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The sole survivor of a burned-down shrine who is desperate to keep its site up and running.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 3===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s here.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since it was a narrow multi-tenant building, the elevator was cheap. It was fairly cramped with all three aboard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once they arrived at their destination floor, they found a detective in a suit doing something in the narrow hallway.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hisame Kouga was up on a small stepladder and messing with the fire alarm on the ceiling. Seeing the detective doing that reminded Tsumugi of something: the case he was pursuing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(The &#039;&#039;Nagatacho Leaders Case&#039;&#039;, I think it was. He says it still hasn’t been solved.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Aren’t the shared areas a job for the landlord? Why do I have fix this?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Because I, the daughter of that landlord, have let you wait until next month to pay your rent. With no interest. So you need to work! C’mon, Onii-chan, you can do it☆”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“(Now that’s scary.)”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ah?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10-year-old Hanagushi Temari was bossing him around from next to the stepladder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So the usual.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To avoid being dragged into it, Tsumugi pretended not to know them as she passed by and entered through the agency’s door.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ohh, so this is the Shrine Restoration Project’s hideout?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Do I need to plainly tell you to never call it that again?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Entirely undaunted, Rainy plopped down in the reception area’s couch and began bouncing up and down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This is so cool. It’s a real detective agency. Mugikko, do you spend your nights here instead of at a normal house or apartment!? Now that’s a world I’ve only ever seen on TV.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If you include fully online businesses with no physical office, there are more than 6500 registered in Japan alone. Anyone can call themselves one if they want to.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You mean a private detective? So the world of TV really is out there.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Anyway, you two. I can only offer coffee, but do you want something to drink? I warn you, this agency is poor, so everything here is cheap. And I don’t know how to work the coffee maker, so it probably won’t be any good.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I get to drink the vile coffee of a detective agency!? I’ve literally just added that to my bucket list!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Not so close.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using her palm to distance the overexcited girl(’s face), the online shrine maiden used her other hand to open her trifold phone into tablet mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Okay, now to search for ‘how to make good coffee’.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You don’t even know that?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Shut up. Don’t interrupt me while I’m searching. Lightly roast commercial beans in a frying pan…no. When using a siphon, you should first…we don’t have anything that fancy here.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Um, Onee-chan, what sort of mystery liquid are we going to be served here?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A detective entered the office while Tsumugi was staring at her screen. It was the poor blond man in a suit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Tsumugi, what are you doing?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The online shrine maiden looked up from the screen with a “nyuwah!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though she had been so irritated just a second before.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“And you two…aren’t here for a job. Tsumugi is showing some slight tension, but the overall mood is cheerful and she has some calm in her eyes. So are you her friends?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I-is that a problem?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No. It’s a good thing if you ask me. I’ve been thinking for a while that she could stand to enjoy her school life a little more.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What business is that of yours? You aren’t going to claim to be some bigshot at the school at your age, are you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gyaru sister blinked in confusion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But then she grinned for some reason. And she leaned over against the straitlaced sister seated on the couch next to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“(That…detective? just casually analyzed her behavior, but that shy little rabbit didn’t seem bothered at all. Does this mean what I think it does, Yuhi?)”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“(Pretending not to notice these things is considered the polite move in every culture on earth, Onee-chan. Can you do that?)”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Two cans of cold coffee were taken from the fridge and plunked down in front of the sisters. The spiritual sense refined by daily training told the shrine maiden nothing good would come of letting those two speak any longer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It wasn’t clear if the detective himself had been finally released from his work or if he was merely on a short break. Either way, it had no bearing on the online shrine maiden’s finances since &#039;&#039;she also had her income from the internet shrine&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gyaru sister leaned forward curiously.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So what all can a real-live professional private detective do exactly?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Well… Did you know more than 5 million people pass through New Sea City’s Terminal Station every single day? That beats out Shinjuku for busiest in the country.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hm? I’m not sure I follow you.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I found the barrette a client lost in that crowd. It turned out it had been sucked up by a janitor’s vacuum cleaner. It was a perfectly ordinary hair clip, but her parents had given it to her to celebrate her getting into college and she wept when I told her I’d found it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The sisters both gave the detective a double take.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The online shrine maiden sighed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“And the police had simply told her to give up on it because searching for it would be too much work.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When this detective accepted a job, he would see it through to the end.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hisame Kouga himself never seemed bothered by it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An elementary schooler had asked him to find a trading card blown away in the wind, he had run all around town chasing a small bird that escaped from its cage, and he had gotten a couple back together by identifying the unfortunate misunderstanding tearing them apart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His jobs were always like that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because no matter how trivial and trifling a matter was to everyone else in the world, he knew better than anyone just how important it was to he person currently crying over it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So he couldn’t abandon them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And he would reach out his hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Without hesitation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It wasn’t all exciting investigations into toxic affairs and murder most foul. You were sorely mistaken if you thought those jobs were the only way to protect people’s smiles. When he took part in a case as a detective, he made sure everyone involved came out smiling. He hadn’t given up on a single one. The girl thought he deserved more credit than he got for that. A lot more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…However, this did mean his jobs never made him much money. Even though an expert in investigation really should be able to investigate a client’s ability to pay beforehand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, right. I should return this before I forget.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi tossed the old oil lighter to the detective.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What? So that’s a rental?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rainy’s obvious disappointment put a bitter smile on Hisame Kouga’s face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Because I have exactly none of the power known as a ‘spiritual sense’. So this Imperial Exorcism Igniter, which lets you borrow the power of Konohana-no-Sakuya-Bime, would be completely wasted with me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So you share the treasure between everyone? Rie said the other day that the ‘sharing’ is the most wonderful word humanity ever came up with.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Did Rainy’s smile here mean she thought she too was someone who could make good use of it? Even though her decisions and actions during the Ghastly Crusher incident could easily have gotten her killed?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Straitlaced Yuhi raised her small hand and asked a hesitant question.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Umm, should people like us really be getting involved in this? I don’t know much about Shinto, but we’ve never gone through ritual purification or any kind of training.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yeah, and I’m a private detective who use to be a police detective. I have nothing to do with shrines or the priesthood.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“A cop turned PI!? Wow, I can’t believe a super rare job history like that really exists!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rainy was apparently a fan of police dramas and detective stories. The gyaru sister’s interest, usually reserved for the online shrine maiden, was now directed at the detective too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Like I said, I have no spiritual sense, so I can’t see Malign Spirits even with the lighter.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wait, I thought anyone could see them if you used the strange lighter and incense sticks.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hisame Kouga only shrugged at Yuhi’s surprise.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The oil lighter and incense smoke only made them &#039;&#039;easier&#039;&#039; to see. It did nothing for people who couldn’t see them at all. It was that sort of world. …Which meant both the sisters had a troublesome talent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So while I do work with Tsumugi, I can’t join her on the front line. The most I can do is use my phone to provide intel support from a distance. And even that stops working once communications are cut off by the Groan. Before, there was nothing to be done if she collapsed in a haunted location, but now she finally has some friends who can drag her out of the darkness if she’s in a bind.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Are you stupid? I have never let a Malign Spirit defeat &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:125%&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;bwah bwah bwah&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; why &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:125%&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;bwah bwah bwah bwah&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; my head &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:125%&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;bwah bwah bwah bwah bwah&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; hey &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:125%&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;bwah bwah&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; don’t rub my &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:125%&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;bwah bwah bwah bwah&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; wait &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:125%&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;bwah bwah bwah&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; everyone’s watching &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:125%&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;bwah bwah bwah bwah!&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi tried to look away and sulk, but then she suddenly broke. Her face was bright red and her eyes rolled around wildly. All because the detective had suddenly placed his large hand atop her hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hisame Kouga, who didn’t seem to have noticed, pushed the black-haired girl’s head down as he lowered his own. Tsumugi’s hands were still flailing fairly wildly, though.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Please help me keep Tsumugi safe.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the sisters left the building, Yuhi spoke first.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“He seems like a good guy.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“He does.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An adult willing to bow his head for someone else was powerful. It showed they had control over their emotions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My teacher at school has gotten older without actually growing up, so he could learn a thing or two from that guy. I still don’t have a good handle on his relationship with Yahirodono-san, but maybe they ended up that way through trial and error.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They felt good about this visit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But then Rainy realized something.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hold on. This isn’t Mugikko’s house at all, is it!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 4===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was not actually accurate to say that site had naturally developed on the underground side of the internet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It didn’t benefit the site administrator to exist there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just like a map of price gouging restaurants or a list of the easiest convenience stores to rob, it really came down to the major search engines deciding the site felt criminal and distancing themselves from it. In this case, by viewing the site as the poor victim. In other words, it was a condescending and unwanted favor. As a result, it had become a mysterious site that would never show up simply by typing in the name and a special illicit plugin had to be added to your browser to find it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It had originally been the official site for a certain Shinto shrine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Did the ruins of shrines and churches always become dens of monsters? The site had become a gathering place for experts whose love of the occult had led them to waste more than half their life. And of course, the real connoisseurs preferred the real deal. It was a lot like cheaply buying a building where a murder occurred and renovating it into a horror-themed book cafe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The internet shrine’s home page had a number of subpages listed and the Talk Corner was something like an online conference room. The screen was divided into several windows, each with the shrine’s grounds as the background.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The usual suspects with too much time on their hands were filling those square frames with their flashy Youkai-themed avatars. One regular account had taken the monstrous theming so far it wasn’t clear where the face even was. It was early morning, an inauspicious time on the boundary between day and night, but there were still people there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Lady Nine Tails&amp;gt; I sense a trend in the newcomers. Is that fan-shaped collection of megafloats, New Sea City, the latest fad?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Clam Mommy&amp;gt; The quality and quantity of the tragic archives here are on another level. There’s something wrong with the administrator (complimentary)”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Snow Sister&amp;gt; But that administrator is currently pouring most of her attention into the advice column and the daily fortune telling meant for light users, isn’t she? This could make the site more accessible and ruin it for the rest of us.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Joro Spider&amp;gt; Don’t worry. That extreme introvert doesn’t know how to appeal to light users.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yamanba-chan (Brown)&amp;gt; Could you change your name to Jorogumo? Translating it makes it sound like you’re talking about an actual spider!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There were of course plenty of people on the site not wearing avatars. Those users tended to be on the lighter end and there were different parts of the internet shrine for both types.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The regular known as Lady Nine Tails copy-pasted over the text from a different board.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Sugar Doll&amp;gt; I can’t stick to my diet. Help me, Shrine Maiden!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Shrine Maiden&amp;gt; I can teach you a way to motivate yourself using bad smells. Keep it up and you won’t have any trouble.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Goddess in Love&amp;gt; We aren’t actually dating yet, so would handmade sweets be too much? Ahhh, I want to put them in his mailbox right this instant! I haven’t done anything wrong have I!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Shrine Maiden&amp;gt; Why are you even asking me? You’ve already done it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Cute and Popular&amp;gt; It’s almost my birthday, but I asked some subtle questions and my boyfriend says he has work that day. Has he forgotten, or is he planning a surprise? Either way, I’m afraid asking any more questions will only make things worse. Shrine Maiden, what should I do?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Shrine Maiden&amp;gt; He’s simply forgotten. And for this he deserves death.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Was this a standard action she had saved to a shortcut key, or was she actually doing it all seated in front of a phone or tablet? The fox-eared kimono beauty breathed an exasperated sigh while squishing a balance ball (designed to look like a clear, white paper lantern) below her kimono butt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Lady Nine Tails&amp;gt; Thoughts?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yamanba-chan (Brown)&amp;gt; Incredible.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Snow Sister&amp;gt; She blows them all off after a single line. That’s the kind of cold reception I could fall for.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Lady Nine Tails&amp;gt; With her making such a mess of that, this oasis for us tactless occult freaks should be safe for a century more at least.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 5===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Good, good.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was early morning at a cafe near her home. The shrine maiden in a short-sleeved sailor uniform stretched her back while still seated and massaged her shoulders as if to signal a job well done. …Apparently it was true that large ones gave you stiff shoulders. Then she folded her notebook-sized tablet back into a phone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A snort escaped her small nose.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Another perfect job. …It feels good to eliminate people’s worries and bring them happiness.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi must have let her guard down thanks to the wireless earphones she was wearing because she said this out loud. This must have coincided with the quarter hour because she was given a list of the latest news articles based on her interests. As someone neck deep in the underground internet (against her own wishes), she found the articles from the open search engines to be so peaceful and adorable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“New for Gourmets – Be Fooled No More! How to Make the Ultimate Curry Rice”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hmm.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The daily morning special at the cafe today had been a small curry. Along with the standard vegetables and chicken, it had included cheese, chopped-up fish sausage, and croutons (which she mostly knew from corn potage). This was known as New Sea City style. She appreciated a recipe for the ultimate curry rice, but she would have preferred not to be shown it while already eating curry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(But I guess I am interested.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Online Shrine Maiden&amp;gt; You don’t have to do anything for dinner. I’ll make it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Detective&amp;gt; Where did this come from? …Wait, did you break something? Like an antique vase?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Online Shrine Maiden&amp;gt; What are you so afraid of, you poor detective? Your office is full of 100-yen items. I just want to try out a new recipe.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At any rate, it was time. Tsumugi stuck her trifold phone in her skirt pocket. Her school uniform had a breast pocket, but she didn’t use it. Her excessive chest stretched the pocket so tight she had trouble getting anything inside. … And when she had only just started going to her school, she had forced her phone in the breast pocket and then nearly jumped out of her skin when it suddenly started vibrating. He hadn’t known what he was doing, but that detective had been sending her a bunch of unimportant rapid-fire social media messages! And thanks to that, she had gathered all the attention in the middle of a quiet class at the start of the school year before everyone’s friendships were fully set!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ahem.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had better things to do than blush about that memory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi left the cafe and walked to a roadside charging station. She released the thick lock on the ground and pulled out something like a skateboard with T-shaped handlebars. She wanted her hands free, so she hung her bag from the metal hook below the handlebars and locked it in place. …This was partially because using her flat school bag’s shoulder strap would accentuate her chest size. She also made sure to equip the hairpin helmet. Then she switched her phone on and off to make sure the battery and wireless had connected properly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These rental electric scooters were maneuverable and convenient, but the extremely small wheels meant even slight bumps were frightening and they tended to slip on wet manholes or the white lines. Also, they were generally ridden standing up. A girl who paid insufficient attention to her skirt could end up shining a little too brightly and spread happiness around the city, so you had to be careful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While riding along the street lined with palm trees and solar panels, she heard the sound of skidding shoe soles from behind her. That was a trick to make your presence known with a model that lacked a horn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Morning.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Betsuzaki Yuhi pulled up alongside her. She apparently used a square backpack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was their first time meeting without the gyaru sister around. This girl was a friend’s middle school sister. …That made it a little bit awkward. If she weren’t driving, Tsumugi’s eyes might have been drawn to her phone. But also…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Eh? A seat?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“They added this accessory as an option recently. I thought this would make it easier.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It looks more like an electric bike with that.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That certainly seemed convenient to Tsumugi who had no greater defense with her miniskirt than someone riding a bike while standing up on the pedals. She decided to try out that option if she saw one around.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After going their separate ways to their respective schools, Tsumugi tossed her rental electric scooter in the large charging station installed near the school and walked the rest of the way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In her classroom, someone gave a sleepy wave while resting her head on her desk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Mornin’.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, you’re here early.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Of course I am, Shortstack-chan. Big Bro Detective Kouga-san told me to look after you. So now it’s up to me to help you with the Shrine Restoration Project!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was being a little much.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Their homeroom teacher entered the classroom a bit late. Saitou Aiso was a timid puppy girl(?) known for being even more nervous than your average student teacher. The beautiful woman with long wavy hair and a suit was acting weird this morning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“O-okay, everyone, please take your seats. Today’s first announcement is…gym class today is at the pool, so please make sure your valuables are safe. And apparently some of you have been changing in the bathroom or an unused classroom lately, but you need to use the locker room. Um, and also…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Gyaru Sister&amp;gt; Man, talk about ‘this meeting could’ve been an email’.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They secretly chatted on their phones while listening to their teacher.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Online Shrine Maiden&amp;gt; I feel bad for the teachers since they have to do everything in a standardized way.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Chatty&amp;gt; Okay, you bored girl, pay attention to the civil servant trying to do her job. And what’s with that crazy ‘Online Shrine Maiden’ name? Yahirodono-san, do you play phone games when you’re bored in class?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:125%&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Nyuwahh!!??&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Y-Yahirodono-san?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Their homeroom teacher’s confused voice and every eye in the class were bearing down on her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The pressure from all sides was so great she wanted to die.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had made the classic mistake of joining the friend group chat with her secondary &#039;&#039;work&#039;&#039; account. This was the first she had heard of being able to join with a different account as long as the phone ID matched. She hid her face and phone behind a raised textbook like a growing child eating an early lunch and she tried to secretly recover from her mistake, but her fingers felt so awkward on her phone’s screen as it rested on her desk. Excuses spiraled through her mind, but…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Gyaru Sister&amp;gt; Whoa, Mugikko. They’re resting on your desk. lol”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Chatty&amp;gt; Wow, that’s crazy. Now that’s some overflowing resources.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Rie&amp;gt; I can almost feel their weight.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She briefly wondered what they were talking about before arriving at the answer: her chest. This had distracted Chatty and the rest from the secondary account, but heat still filled her face. She looked over a little nervously as the fluffy teacher said something.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“And while I’m sure you know this, you shouldn’t be wandering around the city at night without a very good reason. I-I will be out patrolling, okay? If our eyes happen to meet out there, you could be suspended!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The students saying things like “So she’ll be out ‘inspecting’ a night pool on the taxpayer’s yen?” or “I go to a cram school, so I have a good reason” apparently couldn’t be bothered to use their phones and keep their chatting a secret. Saitou Aiso clearly didn’t know how to respond.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 6===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Are you patting your ears again? You were doing that before.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ugh, I still feel like I have water in there. Am I imagining it?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The students were allowed to choose between a few different styles of school swimsuit, but the most popular at the moment was the racing swimsuit style. A high cut one. A swimsuit which fully, if tightly, covered the body was reassuring, but it also allowed no escape for the sweat when stuck out on the sunny poolside listening to your teacher talk on and on. Why didn’t this school have an indoor pool?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(And the full-body defense also makes it harder to adjust when it shifts out of place. …Like in the chest.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Dammit, Rie. I know you can’t swim, but do you have to grab onto me so tight when I go to rescue you? With your arms &#039;&#039;and&#039;&#039; your legs? Sigh, I really thought I was going to die…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Th-that’s your fault for approaching me from the front.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rainy normally had her hair all done up in the gyaru style, but even she went with something more subdued when they had pool class. She looked so different when she removed her swim cap and let her hair down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That aside, New Sea City was about the only place that had an outdoor pool class in May. That was the tropical weather for you. Maybe it wasn’t a great place for Rie and her Osaka-style elegance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At any rate, Rainy proclaimed her exhaustion and let her shoulders droop as she walked barefoot down the hallway. Walking must have made her swimsuit ride up because she adjusted the cloth in the rear with her index finger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Don’t you think they should add a pool locker room next to the pool? Chatty was saying the same thing! The main one is too far away! I took a shower, but now I have to walk through this sticky air!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But the school is air-conditioned.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This is filthy land air. What was even the point of wearing myself out in the water now?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apparently it wasn’t just the students who got noisy during the lunch break. As they walked through the school, they heard a voice coming from the faculty room. It was the familiar voice of their class’s homeroom teacher, Saitou Aiso.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ehh? You mean the night patrol is for more than just the shopping district? Wh-what do you mean a haunted location?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, this has nothing to do with ghosts. We just have to check every area rumored to be a hangout for delinquents or a hookup spot for poor couples.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Then why do the rest of you get ordinary convenience stores and karaoke places? Th-that only leaves the super dangerous and haunted Rending Pool for me!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Okay, time for a break. After eating lunch, I need to focus on my afternoon classes.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Excuse meeee!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was a timid woman, so this likely wasn’t the first time she had gotten the short end of the stick like this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rainy sighed in exasperation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The grownup world sounds rough. Man, I am not looking forward to that.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 7===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After school, raindrops were pattering on the window.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At more than 500 kilometers south of Tokyo, the weather of New Sea City was temperamental and sudden downpours and lightning strikes were common. It really was hard to believe it was officially part of the Greater Tokyo Area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Homeroom Teacher Saitou Aiso stood in the middle of the hallway operating her tablet. Partially because she felt like doing this on her faculty room computer would stain her search history.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She searched and searched and found only ominous results.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The Rending Pool is for real.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Was it a young woman who died? Supposedly her body was torn to pieces in a pool they claimed was safe.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“(Official Police Statement) A portion of the remains have yet to be located. (heh)”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The place tries to make itself look perfectly safe, but if you look around, you’ll see they have piles of salt sitting around. They’ve known the place is dangerous before anyone died and still kept it open for business.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Given how much they lose each day they’re closed, they can’t not reopen their doors just because the cause is unknown. They’ll find a way. I bet more people are going to die. Those places always get worse once they’re known to be haunted.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Saitou-sensei.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Saitou Aiso jumped and turned around when someone called her name.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She saw a familiar woman’s face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Y-Year Head, what locations were you assigned?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“A few izakayas in the shopping district. I can’t imagine high schoolers going there, but it’s best to be safe.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And then she would likely stay there a while to do some drinking. Along with the others who had made the assignments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, Saitou had to go to the Rending Pool, where someone had actually died. At night. On her own.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“D-do we really have to check out a haunted location?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“All of our locations are equally dangerous. If you find anything there, it’ll be some drunk.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Um, then would you mind swapping assignments with-”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Why should I do that? You need to forget this silliness about ghosts and start showing your senior teachers the respect they deserve. So can we discuss this like professionals?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was always like this when people found excuses not to do something themselves and then forced it onto someone else.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kindness was never a factor in their arguments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nor were the feelings of the person on the receiving end.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Anyway, I will complete my job and you will complete yours. Simple, isn’t it? So do make sure you patrol that leisure pool tonight. There are only so many of us teachers, so we need to split up and check out each of the dangerous locations around the city. We must keep our students safe.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With that said, Year Head Haramori Yoshiko promptly left.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She would be joining her close friends among the older teachers to enjoy an evening of drinking while the younger Saitou was left alone to visit a haunted location during the shadowy night. Ghosts were unrealistic. Saitou knew that intellectually. But what was that about someone actually dying? Could that leisure pool be home to someone capable of doing something not even the police could explain?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No, that was an excuse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She couldn’t try to force an explanation for what she was feeling right now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The evening downpour hammered against the window.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Homeroom Teacher Saitou Aiso muttered to herself, her head lowered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This isn’t a job for a teacher. And effort isn’t enough to make your fear go away.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Around a corner in the hallway, Yahirodono Tsumugi heard that comment with her back against the wall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This matter was complicated by the fact that the Malign Spirits was real. It wasn’t mere superstition and it had the ability to kill.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was plain to see what would happen to that powerless homeroom teacher if she carelessly visited a real haunted location like the Rending Pool late at night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Which means I have to get there first and defeat the Malign Spirit before that can happen.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi silently left that place and operated her phone in one hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Online Shrine Maiden&amp;gt; I accept the Rending Pool job. Speculation is fine, just send me the Malign Spirit’s rank and basic specs. As much as you have.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Detective&amp;gt; Then we should meet in person. This is perfect timing.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why was this perfect timing?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What about this did he not want overheard? It was best not to spread around word of Malign Spirits’ existence, but there was no real punishment if it was discovered. In fact, Rainy and Yuhi had ended up part of the team in that way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The real reason people in this business kept secrets was to avoid the many questions ordinary people would inevitably ask. It was a matter of compartmentalization, just like how professional entertainers did not invite amateur guests to their dressing room or backstage (even though they knew it would delight them).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi tilted her head and used both hands to pull out a cheap rental umbrella in the entranceway. When it popped out, she staggered back from her own excess momentum. Only afterwards did her phone chime to show it had worked with the facial recognition to pay for the umbrella rental. Thanks to swimming class today, she was carrying more bags than usual and now she had an umbrella to deal with. She didn’t want to have to drive a vehicle like that, so she decided to walk to the nearest dock and take a water bus. The self-driving taxis were too expensive for a single passenger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the time she arrived at the multi-tenant building and boarded the elevator, the rain had completely let up. Now the folded-up umbrella was only in the way. The weather in tropical New Sea City really was even more temperamental than in the mountains.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She arrived at the floor she wanted and opened the usual door to the detective agency.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And was greeted by a girl in a colorful bikini.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yahoo!! I hope you’re ready for a trip to a fashionable leisure pool tonight!!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The online shrine maiden’s mouth formed a small triangle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gyaru sister had turned the place into her playground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apparently the detective considered this “perfect timing” because Tsumugi could evict this reckless exhibitionist idiot from his office.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Two masses contained by a swimsuit jiggled before Tsumugi’s eyes.&lt;br /&gt;

==Story Synopsis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the distant future, Earth has been devastated and its inhabitants seek a new home in the heavens. However, constant warfare forces humans to return to Earth, which has turned into an uninhabitable planet except for a certain area called the Divine States.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Divine States are too small to accommodate all the humans, so they duplicated the area and created the Harmonic Divine States. In order to retrace their steps and rediscover their journey to the heavens, the returned humans began to reproduce history from the year 10,000 BC, using a mysterious history book called Testament.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
History reproduction proceeds smoothly until A.D. 1413, when a war broke out in the Divine States. This causes the Harmonic Divine States to crash onto the original world. The humans living in the Harmonic Divine States lose their land and invade the original world. The people of the Divine States surrender and they are divided by the invaders from the Harmonic Divine States. They try to resume the reproduction of history from A.D.1457, but the update of history terminates in A.D.1648. A rumor of apocalypse begins to spread around the world.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Chapter 26: Various Mothers==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Horizon10B_p0057.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I don’t&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Want to accept it&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;But I am willing to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Point Allocation (I Will Get Mad About It Once)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Oh, really. A cause for celebration?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;This really isn’t the time or the place for that,&#039;&#039; thought Asama while also feeling a sense of peace. Horizon, with her arms reattached, gave a nod and spoke.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It would seem Toori-sama and I judged correctly when we welcomed you.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Judge. That’s right. And I know we’d all look after any child born between us, no matter whose it was.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Judge,” agreed Horizon before looking to Asama and raising her right hand. “To be honest, since it was acceptable for me, I was already thinking it would be acceptable for you as well. Instead of making a big deal about inheritance and heirs, I thought it would be best to just relax and enjoy our lives together.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I think it is important to know that, even in the age of the Apocalypse, we were still happy enough to have children who would carry on after us.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asama wanted to bow down and worship her on the inside, but she was relieved in a number of ways. And Horizon…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Although knowing how secretly carnivorous you can be, Asama-sama, I can easily imagine you were ‘relaxing and enjoying your life’ in a different way from someone as easygoing as me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“W-we still don’t know anything for certain! And that includes how things were for you!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“True,” agreed Horizon, crossing her arms. “Now, I just hope we can raise them properly in the future.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Heh heh. Horizon, are you already certain you will be having kids in the future?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Well, I mean, it seems obvious given…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Horizon looked to Asama. &#039;&#039;What is this about?&#039;&#039; wondered Asama.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Barring some kind of accident, I just can’t imagine Asama-sama cutting in line after we decided on an order.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That did far more damage because she actually agreed with it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Wait…could I cut?&#039;&#039; wondered Asama, but when she thought about it, she realized she could make replacements to the order, which would let her control it if she wanted to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Still, if there wasn’t any kind of accident, it did seem like it would end up just as Horizon had said. But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hmm… But that could be difficult if it went against someone’s will, like they were being forced into it or felt obligated…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Heh heh. Don’t worry so much.” Kimi laughed and slapped Asama and Horizon on the shoulder. “This just means a time came when you were willing to take that step. Maybe for a while you didn’t think your relationship had reached that point, didn’t want society’s expectations to push you into it, or wanted to prioritize your freedom…but you will eventually get tired of all that.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Isn’t that the same as resigning yourself to your fate?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Even if it is, what’s wrong with that if it brings you to a new stage in life? Either way, you must have decided you were willing to take that step.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Judge.” Horizon nodded. “No one forced us to live together. So when the time comes, we will do what we each want and then support each other. And if Asama-sama was able to make that decision…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Then you must have as well.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You do like to live freely, Horizon.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Judge,” said Horizon again. And Asama…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“–––––”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For a moment, she thought she sensed Horizon smiling. So she turned toward her again to check.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What is it, Asama-sama?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, um.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was tilting his head behind Horizon, so he must not have noticed. So Asama chose to say nothing. She may have been mistaken after all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then Horizon summed it up for them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This is a cause for celebration. It is not a competition and it is not an obligation. I imagine our future selves understood it to be a gift.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“When we eventually discover mine, I ask that you celebrate with me, Asama-sama.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yes, of course. I don’t think you could stop my dad from doing so.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She felt the same way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Horizon was thinking first about the group as a whole before considering herself or any other individual. She herself could come second there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asama had not moved into the Main Blue Thunder as an individual. She had moved in as part of a relationship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Heh heh. You’ve found an excuse that prevents you from leaving this relationship, haven’t you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;That’s right,&#039;&#039; thought Asama as she realized something.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;My lid is open!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had gone through so much internal argument over whether or not she would accept Hirano Nagayasu, but now she could accept the girl.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She sensed anew how convenient and powerful she could be about the things she cared about, but…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Gold Mar:&#039;&#039;&#039; “This is one hell of a party night.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Silver Wolf:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Heh heh. Oh, Tomo. I see you coming up with all sorts of reasons why it has to turn out that way in the future. Lucky you.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Art-Ga:&#039;&#039;&#039; “If you think this means I’m only pairing you up with the Chancellor from now on, you’re sorely mistaken. I hope you’re ready.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Asama:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Th-that is not what I want to hear right now! And why are you joining in, Mito!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just as she sent those words of protest…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Um.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hirano interrupted. But instead of admonishing Asama, she was speaking to someone else.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Kasuya, wait.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A part of Mitotsudaira felt somehow relieved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This fragmentary look wasn’t enough to know what the future would hold. This was all secondhand and it only addressed who was whose family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But apparently she and her friends had children.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Horizon had questions about her body and future. She had to be delighted to have proof that moving in together hadn’t trapped them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asama could be inflexible and she excelled at restraining herself. If she had done what she wanted and received something precious from it, then it was, as their king had said, a cause for celebration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;’Silver Wolf:&#039;&#039;&#039; “But as Horizon pointed out…Tomo would never let herself take that step without celebrating Horizon first.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Gold Mar:&#039;&#039;&#039; “So like she’ll allow some cheating but not a full-blown affair?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Art-Ga:&#039;&#039;&#039; “I’ve drawn that one.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Asama:&#039;&#039;&#039; “I feel like Naruze is being the meanest here!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But from what they had heard, the future sounded like a surprisingly decent place.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And, recalling what Asama had been like before they moved in together, Mitotsudaira felt like teasing her a little.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’m happy for you, Tomo.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What for?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“”I remember when you held a washroom meeting concerning your worries about my king.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Th-that was only-”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Horizey:&#039;&#039;&#039; “You mean you went #2 for a refreshing farewell to your worries!? Is that it, Asama-sama!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Me:&#039;&#039;&#039; “I feel like you haven’t solved anything if that’s your solution.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And just as the usual mood was setting in…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Um, hey.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kasuya waved her right hand back and forth with Argent Clou still equipped.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;What is this about?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Curious, Mitotsudaira waited to see what the girl claiming to be her daughter would say.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kasuya breathed in once and then looked her in the eye.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My father is the same person.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asama saw Horizon tear up a floorboard and take her “you thief” pose.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Horizon! Horizon! I know it’s repeat material, but you shouldn’t do that with the floorboards!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No, Asama-sama. As the Vicereine of a combat nation strict about jokes, I must do this!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If you say so.” Asama looked over to see him seated naked on the floor. “Um, Toori-kun?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yeah, what? Finding out I have a third secret kid just feels like…I’m probably about to get chewed out.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Toori-sama, that is fine as long as it is within the Main Blue Thunder group, but are you able to financially support such a large family?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Well…” interrupted Asama. “I should be able to get some help from my dad, or really the Asama Shrine. And I feel like Mito would get help from her mom.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Actually, is this really true, Nate?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Silver Wolf:&#039;&#039;&#039; “I-it’s all so sudden I don’t know what to think!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mitotsudaira’s confusion was interrupted by a second intrusion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Still Got It:&#039;&#039;&#039; “It’s true, Nate! You and your king are that girl’s parents!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mitotsudaira viewed her mother’s message.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;We’re close to Europe now, aren’t we!?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Osaka Bay was in view. Just as England had intruded on their conversation earlier, now they were receiving a divine transmission from Hexagone Française. Her mother interacted with them more than anyone else in her family, so this was hardly a surprise.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her mother would know what was happening here. So she had to ask her mother about this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Silver Wolf:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Mother! Are you certain the person in front of me is my future daughter?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Still Got It:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Testament! Of course I am! I’ve known since the Kantou Liberation!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How could she know?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Still Got It:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Her scent! It was so much like a mixture of yours and your king’s! I sniffed it out!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Horizey:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Oh, excuse me, Mitotsudaira-sama’s mother. I have a question.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Still Got It:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Oh, and what might that be? Thank you for looking after my daughter, by the way.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Horizey:&#039;&#039;&#039; “And thank you for everything you have done for us. …Now, I have reason to doubt that this Kasuya Whatever-sama is actually Mitotsudaira-sama’s daughter.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What could that be? Horizon succinctly explained.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Horizey:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Kasuya Whatever-sama has what would generally be considered large breasts, but Mitotsudaira-sama does not share that trait. Can she really be her daughter?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Silver Wolf:&#039;&#039;&#039; “What did I do to deserve thiiiiis!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Still Got It:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Quiet, Nate! This is an important topic concerning you!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Silver Wolf:&#039;&#039;&#039; “If it’s about me, why should I be quiet!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But she had a feeling each additional word of complaint she made would receive a 500-word response with a Horizon Rule applied on top, so she shut up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Still Got It:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Listen, Landlord Princess.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her mother spoke.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Still Got It:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Nate takes after her father.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Horizey:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Judge, I see. But then why does her daughter Kasuya-sama have large breasts?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Still Got It:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Yes, that is a good question.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mitotsudaira smashed her sign frame before restarting it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Me:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Wait! Could she have gotten her boobs because she takes after me when I crossdress!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Horizey:&#039;&#039;&#039; “That wasn’t very funny, so strike it from the record, Asama-sama.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Circle Be:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Lineage probably does play a role, but aren’t there individual differences?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Still Got It:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Maybe, but my mother was on the larger side too.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Asama:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Hm… I seem to remember my mom being bigger than me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Horizey:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Could it be that Mitotsudaira-sama’s individual difference power was unusually great for her family whereas Kasuya-sama’s is normal?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Silver Wolf:&#039;&#039;&#039; “How great is my ‘individual difference power’!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Silly girl,” Asama heard Kimi say. She turned around to see Kimi’s lips curled into a grin as she pointed at Asama’s divine transmission sign frame.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Heh heh. That Kasuya person has those boobs because she takes after my foolish brother.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Huh? Not that ridiculous theory again…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But then it hit her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;She has a point!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Asama:&#039;&#039;&#039; “I get it now! That Kasuya person does take after Toori-kun!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What did that mean?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Asama:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Looking at Kimi and Toori-kun’s family is enough to know the women of his family are big in that regard! So taking after him would give you big boobs!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Gold Mar:&#039;&#039;&#039; “So you’re saying Mito-tsan underwent a mutation that flattened out the big boobs bloodline she inherited from Ture-yan, but the Chancellor used his Kimi-chan Power to correct that in their daughter’s generation?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Wise Sister:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Heh heh heh. Foolish brother! Excellent work when you only had my dregs to work with! Those are some real concentrated big boobs!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Me:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Um, so if I have a kid, that Sis Power will give her big boobs?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Flat Vassal:&#039;&#039;&#039; “S-so they’re the chosen bloodline!? Please can you share even a little of that power with my ancestors! Oh, but leave out Kimi-chan’s lunacy and the Chancellor’s craziness!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Novice:&#039;&#039;&#039; “I feel like we’re talking about a breeding game at this point.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Still Got It:&#039;&#039;&#039; “But &#039;&#039;my husband&#039;&#039;’s family, or his mother at least, were not like me, so if that Nate Power comes from that lineage…it would mean that my blood could not defy my husband’s blood. Hee hee. Oh, that man.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Silver Wolf:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Must everything you say act like a punishment for me!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Worshiper:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Nothing any of you are saying makes any sense.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Anyway, they seem to have finished their discussion,&#039;&#039; thought Kasuya.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the two of them faced each other with their guards up, her mother and opponent turned to look at her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;I more or less understand.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Does that mean you accept who I am?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A lernen figur opened. It was Catholic and came from Hexagone Française.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Still Got It:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Testament, based on a logical assessment of the bloodline and such, I believe that you, Kasuya Takenori, are certainly my descendant.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Oh.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was a surprise.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had only hoped for recognition from her mother, but this was from even higher.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She gasped at the unexpected acceptance from someone superior to her mother.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Black Wolf:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Are you…sure?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Still Got It:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Testament, quite sure. After all, I had already confirmed this at the Kantou Liberation and some later investigation back home.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Was that about her scent? Her skill? Or…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Still Got It:&#039;&#039;&#039; “You use that Argent Clou weapon. I have a similar weapon in my shed, but it was different. That must mean you brought yours from the future. …As the world was thinned out by the Apocalypse, I assume our silver gear was combined to combat the thinning, leading to that form.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kasuya gasped.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her Argent Clou had adored her and belonged to her for as long as she could remember, but…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Black Wolf:&#039;&#039;&#039; “I have heard that is where it came from…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Still Got It:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Hee hee. I am quite perceptive, aren’t I?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was quite the self-praise, but the leaps of logic that had required did make it impressive. But Kasuya’s mother glared over at her and…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I was the one who asked mother to look into that. And during the Kantou Liberation, when I asked if there was a separate version of Argent Clou, mother, you told me you didn’t know.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kasuya was surprised to learn her mother had been curious about her. And while that made her tense up…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Still Got It:&#039;&#039;&#039; “My, my. Are you still being difficult? I didn’t need to check the shed to know. I had already guessed most of it from her scent.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Did she mean their battle during the Kantou Liberation? That had been a close duel, but…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Still Got It:&#039;&#039;&#039; “When I smelled her scent, I was curious what clan she was from, so I took a good sniff of her crotch to get her marking scent. And I detected the unique scent of our family.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Black Wolf:&#039;&#039;&#039; ‘Hyahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;AnG:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Marking.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kimee:&#039;&#039;&#039; “What? Was Kasuya trying to mark Kantou as her territory?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tsurugi:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Hold it, you two! To defend Kasuya as her half-sister, she may be a Loup-Garou but she does not do that in front of people!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Black Wolf:&#039;&#039;&#039; “I don’t do it &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; in front of people eitherrrr!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Onitakemaru:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Is it like that thing where dogs sniff each other’s butts when they meet?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Kohime:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Onitakemaru-san, you shouldn’t say that because Kasuya-san isn’t a dog.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Super Justice:&#039;&#039;&#039; “I notice you aren’t saying the Shogun is incorrect, though!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;That’s my mother all right,&#039;&#039; thought Mitotsudaira, keeping her mouth shut so as not to get involved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Keeping a low profile could be useful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, Kasuya shouted into her lernen figur.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Black Wolf:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Wait! Would you mind phrasing things in a less misleading way, grandmother!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Reine des Garous had been participating in the discussion from outside the candy house, but the instant she heard one word spoken by her daughter’s daughter, she smashed her signe cadre with a right chop enveloped by a small explosion of water vapor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The wind burst, the candy house’s candy window shattered, and her husband shouted to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wh-what happened, Mrs. Loup-Garou!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She held her palms out toward him to tell him to wait. The right arm of her pajamas had been shredded by the attack even she hadn’t expected, but she opened a new signe cadre and grabbed it with both hands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Naaaaaate!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mitotsudaira checked her sign frame while Kasuya gave her a puzzled look.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She held out a palm to tell her to wait a second.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Silver Wolf:&#039;&#039;&#039; “What is it, mother?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Still Got It:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Listen, Nate. You need to teach your child how to speak properly!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Silver Wolf:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Be reasonable. …Are you just flustered by your first contact with your grandchild?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Still Got It:&#039;&#039;&#039; “No, this is a basic rule. Because if we accept what she is saying, it makes my husband a grandfather.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Yeah, yeah,&#039;&#039; she thought, but her mother was dependent on her father. Her mother had to be reluctant to let someone else redefine that relationship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;I suppose it was the passage of time that let her accept my birth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So maybe it was just too soon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her mother went on to provide a compromise there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Still Got It:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Listen. Tell her to refer to me as her ‘mother’s mother’ or as her ‘great mother’. If she wants to be more respectful, she can use ‘ultimate mother’.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Silver Wolf:&#039;&#039;&#039; “What about ‘eccentric mother’?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Still Got It:&#039;&#039;&#039; “What are you talking about, Nate? I am as normal as they come. I am a legal citizen of Hexagone Française, after all.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Silver Wolf:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Yet you can’t seem to stop breaking the law!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The divine transmission had ended before she got her retort out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;She never changes, does she?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And Mitotsudaira felt like she had been assigned a middle management role. So as her first job, she turned toward Kasuya.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My other asks that you do not call her ‘grandmother’. And she will catch you if you try to run, so if she shows an interest in you, I would recommend not resisting too much.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…Sorry for the trouble.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;It’s nothing really,&#039;&#039; she thought. They would soon be dueling, but…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If you are my and my king’s child, then you deserve at least this much.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But,” she added.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She turned her gaze toward the Azuchi’s bridge. Where another daughter was located.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I never imagined Tomo and I would become sisters-in-law. It does sound like something my king would do, though. And he will be delighted to know he has three children.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Actually…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kasuya’s response rapidly filled Mitotsudaira with dread.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Don’t tell me…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An indescribable premonition led her to look directly at Kasuya again. And…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The thing is…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kasuya pointed at the Azuchi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But further forward than Hirano on the bridge. In other words…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Inside the ship? What about it?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Testament, our liaison officer is currently in there. And, well…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Katagiri held his head and groaned.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;The Boy:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Okay, listen. The entire point of me handling this big reveal and explaining everything for them was so the rest of you could focus on combat.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But when he checked their status, several of them had come to a complete stop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Well, maybe you could say now is the time for the more personal revelations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was an important matter for them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They had always behaved so the Double Border Crest wouldn’t consume them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After they had come here and woken, there was no hiding their presence from destiny, so they had taken a prominent position.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What they needed to do had already been determined in the future. But those feelings were a separate matter from this moment when they were actually facing their parents and revealing the truth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And now his turn had arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At Kasuya’s prodding. So…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;The Boy:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Um, are you listening? To continue where the others left off…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He said it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;The Boy:&#039;&#039;&#039; “I am that father’s fourth child.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asama saw Horizon deliver a whip-like kick to his crotch from straight ahead and below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The kick to the nudist made a nice sound and he floated up for just a second.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oof.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With a non-comedic breath, he collapsed to his knees and Horizon tilted her head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So who is this mistress from outside the Main Blue Thunder?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Huh, hold on. I don’t remember anything like this, so what could it mean?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Horizon glared at him, but this created enough of an opening for Asama to intervene.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Um, Horizon? How about we wait to make a decision here?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Judge. Let’s hear him out.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Horizon sat in the “armchair” created by her raised arms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So Asama moved next to him while he repeatedly slapped his lower stomach to try and reinvigorate himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I know you take relationships seriously, Toori-kun. So I think you would have told us about something relevant to our relationships. So even if you did create a relationship outside the Main Blue Thunder, I imagine it was with permission from Horizon and the rest of us.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;The Boy:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Incorrect.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Incorrect?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Horizon frowned at the reply from the divine transmission.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;What does he mean by that?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This wasn’t enough to know, but if he really had come from the future, then he would have information they didn’t.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Wow, we’re at a real disadvantage here!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asama realize anew that they needed to carefully scrutinize this information to make sure they weren’t being manipulated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But for now, the boy revealed who he was.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;The Boy:&#039;&#039;&#039; “My mother is, um, Musashi’s acting captain.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Everyone fell silent just before the entire Musashi hopped three meters up as if pitching forward.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Eh? Eh? What? What? T-Toori-kun and…m-me!? No, but, ehhh?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Suzu-sama! Suzu-sama! Pull yourself together! This is much like having a dog bite you by accident and you still have a chance to keep your distance, so right now you need to let go of the Musashi model! Over!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Horizey:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Is this a case where my approval rating would improve if I went ‘how could you’ and hit him with a devastating kick?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Asama:&#039;&#039;&#039; “I feel like I should apologize to Suzu-san for thinking ‘Oh, right. Her!’ ”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Bell:&#039;&#039;&#039; “N-no, I’m also…really confused, so, um, sorry…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Me:&#039;&#039;&#039; “No, no. You don’t need to apologize, Bell-san. And I’m not gonna apologize to you either. I don’t know how it happened, but it must mean something important happened between us, right?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Horizey:&#039;&#039;&#039; “To be honest, Suzu-sama has provided us with a place to spend the night and food to eat on many an occasion and will likely do so on many more occasions, so if she were to ask us to hand over Toori-sama in payment, I was thinking it would only be fair to give her a share.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Wise Sister:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Heh heh. Foolish brother! Since when were you a form of currency!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Masazumi thought while watching the others blather on her sign frame.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Mukai is part of this too?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She reflexively found this odd.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Both because Mukai didn’t seem like the type and because she hadn’t joined them in the Main Blue Thunder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maybe that was only because there weren’t any more empty rooms there, but…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“She didn’t express any interest in joining them when they first came up with the idea of moving in.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That felt like a branch in the road.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And that was why, ever since, she he had opened up the bathhouse’s changing rooms during emergencies, even late at night. It felt to Masazumi like Mukai had shifted over to assisting them in her own way from an outside position.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Then why would she break that restriction she placed on herself?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The Apocalypse?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It all went back to that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What was it Katagiri had said?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“They saw the end of the world after we failed and the Genesis Project was lost.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That meant the end of the world had become unavoidable. Most likely, destiny had completed its suicide while maintaining a mind of its own, so everything had thinned out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But would Mukai desire Aoi in a short-lived situation like that?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;This is getting into the subtleties of human behavior.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maybe Mukai would decide to do what she liked after seeing the end. It was impossible to know until it actually happened.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And Masazumi felt kind of awkward running this thought experiment without Mukai’s knowledge. But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Art-Ga:&#039;&#039;&#039; “My prediction was right! It was sexy-times in the bath! That’s what happened, right!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Asama:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Hm… That would keep them from getting chilled, but I think the heat of the bath would cause certain substances to coagulate, which could cause problems.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Bell:&#039;&#039;&#039; “U-um, wait, everyone?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Saying these things out loud in front of her isn’t great either!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So she made a tentative decision that this was just how it had to be for now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But then she took a breath and looked at her sign frame.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Hm?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Something seemed off about what Katagiri had said. This part in particular:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We failed and the Genesis Project was lost?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “I need your opinions. What do you think of this? Be quick.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Narumi viewed those words with him while waiting on Takao’s stern.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was currently being healed. Unlike humans, half-dragon armor took time to recover using simple healing spells. It was faster to supplement the damaged portions with a combination of biological putty and a hardening agent. That also prevented infection, so she was helping apply the treatment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;This kind of repair is the same with mobile shells.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She did like that she could be sloppier than with Unturning Centipede’s exterior. And while using the chisel included in the repair set, she checked the text form the Vice President.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It said…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;We failed and the Genesis Project was lost.&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;This sounds like more trouble.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, this one wasn’t a code. She only had to read it without just skimming through.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Obscenity:&#039;&#039;&#039; “So it wasn’t our failure that ensured the Apocalypse would happen!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hm,” he said while accepting some portable food brought over on a stretcher by the health committee.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Uqui:&#039;&#039;&#039; “In that case…it is odd for him to mention the Genesis Project.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Unturning:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Judge. You’re right. In the future the Ten Spears came from, the Ten Spears didn’t exist and the battle we are fighting right now wouldn’t have happened. Musashi would have gone straight in to stop destiny, so the Genesis Project itself wouldn’t have been relevant.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But,” said the Mito Lord. Even though she was currently dueling Kasuya of the Ten Spears.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Silver Wolf:&#039;&#039;&#039; “But based on what this Katagiri Whatever said…it sounds like the Genesis Project was in progress separate from our failure.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Worshiper:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Huh? But that’s weird, isn’t it?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “It is. What Katagiri is saying is a bit strange compared to our present reality.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Their conversation must have helped the Vice President find her own opinion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She spoke clearly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Before, Nobunaga told us they know the Logismoi Oplo can’t kill destiny.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What did that mean?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Unturning:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Did they learn that by extracting the Ten Spears from the future?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Judge. The Genesis Project took its current form because the Ten Spears came to this era. That would mean the Genesis Project was enacted in the previous world without anyone knowing it wouldn’t work.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Understanding that truth led to a new truth and question.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;This means the Genesis Project was carried out in the future world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But that was odd. Because…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Unturning:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Musashi intends to eliminate as much forced death as possible, but did we carry out the Genesis Project in the Ten Spears’ future instead of challenging destiny?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That’s right,” nodded Masazumi. “In the Ten Spears’ world, Musashi allowed the Genesis Project to happen.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;But it was more than that,&#039;&#039; she thought.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Katagiri had said Musashi failed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Failed, huh?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They had forgotten because everything was going so well for them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Novice:&#039;&#039;&#039; “It’s about the verb tense, isn’t it?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Go ahead.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I will,” Neshinbara went out of his way to post before doing so.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Novice:&#039;&#039;&#039; “When we saw him say ‘we failed and the Genesis Project was lost’, I assume we all imagined that as some kind of final battle. Of course we did when that’s where we find ourselves now. …But think about it. We aren’t promoting the Genesis Project.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He said it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Novice:&#039;&#039;&#039; “The Genesis Project was lost. But why? Because, like Nobunaga said, the Logismoi Oplo are not the Judgment Weapons. But since we don’t support the Genesis Project, that has nothing to do with us. So…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Horizey:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Are you saying we failed at some point in the Ten Spears’ world?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Judge,” confirmed Masazumi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “I can only speculate, but I think their appearance in this era changed destiny. We do know Lord Motonobu created the Judgment Weapons based on information from them. And we too were somehow influenced by them, allowing us to break through the point where we should have failed.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Unturning:&#039;&#039;&#039; “So our insufficient research and stubborn doubling down with the final boss and mid-boss a bit ago was never supposed to happen?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Gold Mar:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Ow ow ow ow.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Yeah, that one hurts all right!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But it also made some sense.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “The Ten Spears came here to ‘stop’ us. They knew the Genesis Project wouldn’t work and they worked to improve it, but that also prevented our failure, which is now making a mess of things.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But she did have to wonder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;When was it we failed?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If they had suffered an irreparable failure and were forced to entrust everything to the Logismoi Oplo, when would it have happened?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Was it at Mikatagahara?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the Musashi had been sunk there, they wouldn’t have been able to carry out their subsequent activities and would have been forced to let the Genesis Project take charge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But that was a “defeat”, not a “failure”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then what was it they had failed to do?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Worshiper:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Um, there is one thing I’m curious about as an ordinary person.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “I’m reluctant to acknowledge that self-assessment, but go ahead.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Worshiper:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Right. …Shortly before all this, their liaison officer wanted Aoi-kun, Ariadust-kun, Flatda-kun, and the other officers suspended.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What about that made him curious?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Worshiper:&#039;&#039;&#039; “The children of our class’s old hags and geezers know that you are dangerous. …That means you were a threat in their world too. But…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Worshiper:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Why were the children of such nuisances allowed inside Avalon?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Oh,&#039;&#039; thought Kasuya.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;They’re approaching the truth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They were still facing each other and hadn’t let down their guard, but they were conversing. She no longer saw this as a battle, which felt terribly contradictory and selfish since artillery fire was still being exchanged.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The world needed Hashiba to stop Musashi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But even as they acted to preserve the world, they wanted their opponents to understand them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;I can’t believe this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was true they had spent so much time refining their strength in order to defeat Musashi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But now that they were speaking like this, part of her wanted their parents to give in. The fact that another hopeful part of her was close to certain that would never happen proved everyone here wasn’t focused on what was best for the world. But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Maybe our duels were always going to be that way.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The situation was on the move. At the same time, Mitotsudaira sensed a &#039;&#039;space&#039;&#039; between her, her companions, and Kasuya who was still facing her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Everyone around them was fighting over what would happen to the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But they had come to a stop to determine how they would save the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She knew they couldn’t stay like this forever, but a calm part of her told her she couldn’t wast this time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The black haired girl in front of her claimed to be her child.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She said she was born to her and her king.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And, as the world vanished in the Apocalypse, she said she and the other children had entered Avalon as a shelter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;What does that mean?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Musashi was currently battling those Genesis Project supporters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But if they were who they claimed to be, they would have originally been with Musashi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Silver Wolf:&#039;&#039;&#039; “If Musashi failed…why were our children be allowed that final refuge?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Novice:&#039;&#039;&#039; “To explain that, how about we rethink this again?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Neshinbara proposed an idea.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Novice:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Our future selves failed. But that wasn’t at some past point – it really was in the final battle. In other words, we were the ones who carried out the Genesis Project and failed.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Horizey:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Impossible.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Horizon was certain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Horizey:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Toori-sama and I would never accept the Genesis Project.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Masazumi nodded in agreement with Horizon. But then she realized something.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Is that it?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kanou, who had been standing silently behind her, asked a question here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Did you figure something out, Musashi Vice President?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“There is one way – or series of events – that would lead to us accepting and carrying out the Genesis Project.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I can’t believe this,&#039;&#039; she thought as she had Tsukinowa open a new sign frame. That didn’t really accomplish anything, but it helped cleanse her mood.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And she spoke into it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “I have some wild speculation.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Novice:&#039;&#039;&#039; “I’d love to hear it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I’m sure you would,&#039;&#039; she thought with a bitter smile and took a breath. And a moment later…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “We failed in the future. Our failure in the final battle against destiny caused the Genesis Project to be lost.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Asama:&#039;&#039;&#039; “But why would we be doing the Genesis Project?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Because we failed.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “We failed more than once. Our future selves most likely failed twice.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Horizey:&#039;&#039;&#039; “When else did we fail?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “At Mikawa.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It had to be there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “I bet we failed to retrieve Horizon at Mikawa. So Horizon was lost there and Aoi probably was too.”&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Chapter 1: The Ghastly Crusher @ Mincemeat Drawbridge==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 1===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They were in a high school girls locker room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hey, Yahirodono-san. Since you’re last, can I leave the door key with you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yahirodono Tsumugi answered the taller girl by waving the drier in her hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Um, yes. I-I want to make sure my hair is dry…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yeah, hair that long must be a pain to care for. Anyway, make sure you lock up.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Chatty,” called a voice from the hallway and the classmate’s head sticking in through the door withdrew. Tsumugi seriously hoped that was a nickname and not a truly unfortunate real name…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once she was alone in the large locker room, the 1st year high school girl breathed a gentle sigh. Now she could relax. Her long black hair was actually already dry. It really was a pain to care for, though. She first created a large loop at the back of her head, lowered that, and used a large piece of hosho paper to tie it back by wrapping the base in a tube. With that thick wrap in place, the rest of her long hair flowed down her back and spread out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then she pulled out her phone and leaned back against the row of lockers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Quiet surroundings always helped her concentrate on her work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She called up a site that couldn’t be reached by an ordinary search engine no matter how hard one tried. Specifically, the official site for Kagebarai Tanebi Shrine. Even more specifically, the hidden editing page for the administrator.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was hard to tell in the short-sleeve sailor shirt and blue miniskirt of her summer uniform, but the short (but busty) girl with her long black hair tied back was a shrine maiden.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(The fortune telling corner for light users is doing well and the regulars on the message board are the same as ever, but I want something more.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She muttered to herself as her slender fingers moved rapidly along the screen. She eventually decided the small screen was too restrictive and unfolded the phone like a trifold mirror. It transformed into a notebook-sized tablet in no time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(The number of views is slightly up, bu I can’t get stuck in a rut. Each individual visitor stays a while, so a lot end up sticking around. Are they looking for a sense of closeness? If I want to get closer to them…yes, it might be best to push the advice column.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then she was interrupted by a social media message. From the usual suspect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Detective&amp;gt; What kind of souvenir do you want?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Online Shrine Maiden&amp;gt; Aren’t you in Tokyo? I don’t even know what counts as a local specialty there.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Detective&amp;gt; Then that’s one more thing to look forward to. I’ll have a surprise for you when I get back.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A friend. Although sometimes it felt more like playing house.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi chose not to say anything at all at times like this. She simply gazed fondly at the screen. She sensed a human connection in that collection of text and stam-&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hey, uh, this is getting really awkward, so should I just introduce myself already?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Nyuwah!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The high-tech shrine maiden jumped straight up. More than 2cm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The large chest that contrasted her short stature jiggled.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The voice came from directly behind her. Even though she had her back to the tall lockers dividing the room in half.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi hesitantly turned around to look.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Does the name Betsuzaki Rainy ring a bell? You’ve got the kinda super introvert aura that makes me think you don’t know the names of your own classmates.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Someone was there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On top of the tall lockers lined up like bookcases in a library. A gyaru was curled up like a cat on a wall!? Had she wanted to spy on Tsumugi’s phone that badly!? Did that make her a peeper in the locker room? How indecent!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rainy (was that her real name?) was smiling as she spoke and her appearance could be summed up with the word “gaudy”. Her hair was dyed a bright blue and silver and it was heavily equipped with scrunchies and hairpins. Her extremely short skirt had to be folded at least three times and her short-sleeve sailor shirt had been heavily modified, including a triangle cut out of the bottom center, leaving her navel bare at all times. She wore two or three belts decorated with lamé around her hips and, for some reason, she wore a mysterious belt around her right thigh.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You’re always over by the wall messing around on your phone in the classroom or the cafeteria, Mugikko, so I was curious.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I-it’s none of your business… (whisper)”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yeah, it’s just so awkward. Every once in a while, the wall behind you’s so shiny it reflects your phone and I can see everything on the screen, which just makes me more curious. Like that online shrine or chatting on social media with a grown-up.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Nyuwah!?” Tsumugi jumped straight up. More than 5cm this time. She felt like she had just realized she had been walking around with her uniform’s skirt caught between her back and her boxy school bag. For an entire month.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gyaru slid down from the lockers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I just thought I should tell you sometime. Is now good?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She couldn’t focus anymore, so there was no point in continuing. Tsumugi left the girls locker room with Rainy and locked the door. Apparently shrine maidens and gyarus both got hungry during the lunch break. The hallway windows were bright and provided a view of a high-tech city that was only three years old. The buildings outside all sparkled brightly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I gotta say, an online-only shrine is pretty weird. You really like it that way or something?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No. The actual shrine isn’t around anymore. The official site just never got taken down.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, hell. Is this a touchy subject?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Why would it be?” Tsumugi herself sounded puzzled. “Life is a lot easier when you have a clear goal. I will find a way to rebuild that shrine. See, isn’t it nice to have a dream for the future?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 2===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was only May, but the temperature was well above 30 degrees.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But that was just what happened when you were at sea more than 500 kilometers south of Tokyo. The massive terminal station platform was supposedly an air-conditioned indoor space, but he already felt the heat when getting off the linear motor train with phone in hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We have arrived at New Sea City’s Terminal Float Station, the final stop on the Greater Tokyo Area South Islands Line. We appreciate your business. Please confirm you have all of your baggage before disembarking.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was a young man with silky blond hair and a tasteful deep chocolate brown suit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He worked as a detective.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He carried no luggage…but that description was misleading.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Two suitcases were tracking his location and following him on their own. Like baby ducks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As soon as he passed through the ticket gate, a thick heat crashed into him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The blazing sun and the salty sea breeze.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The vivid green he saw was a row of giant palm trees lining the street and a well-maintained lawn. The city resembled a tropical golf course with plenty of fine white sand. The high-tech buildings lined up to the left and right and the large street brightly reflected the sun, making the entire scene dazzlingly white. As if to say it was all new and pristine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(It feels like home.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hard to believe this too was part of the Greater Tokyo Area on paper. The detective checked his phone with its folding screen. It was May 13, the temperature was 35 degrees, and the weather was again sunny on the fan-shaped collection of megafloats that acted as a testing ground for new drones, self-driving cars, and more. The pet dog out on a walk barking at a disk-shaped lawnmower robot was just one more charming part of the scene.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was midsummer year round in this metropolis. Which meant it was stuck in the season most suited for ghosts and the dead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 3===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After school, Yahirodono Tsumugi tilted her head after swapping her slippers for her shoes at her school’s shoe lockers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gyaru was with her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“W-why are you following me? (tremble tremble)”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I heard you don’t have an apron for cooking class tomorrow. That sucks, but – heh hehh – that just means it’s time for some shopping! Betsuzaki Rainy is here to save the day!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She’d heard? What careless idiot let that one slip out?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s not that I don’t have an apron at home. It’s just stained with oil, so I can’t use it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You spilled oil? Mugikko, do you make your own mayo or something? I do that too☆ The store mayo is way too oily and doesn’t go well with lightly-seasoned fish sausages.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With Rainy hanging around, more gyarus began to gather. Soon around three of those dazzlingly extroverted angels or devils were chatting excitedly. With no concern for what Tsumugi wanted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So where’re we going to shop, Rainy?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That’s the thing, Chatty, I haven’t decided yet. But y’know, I was just thinking wherever has the most selection.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Rainy, that’s a bad plan cause then the best option is just shopping online.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Okay, Chatty-han. If you have no other plan, why not go to a big mall? Like the Satellite Mall.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…Was no one going to ask what Tsumugi wanted? This was all about buying an apron for her after all. Also the third girl who had joined them after Chatty had silver hair and tanned skin. They called her Rie, but it wasn’t clear if that was her real name. The way she talked strongly suggested she was from Kyoto, yet her hair and skin were full gyaru. Was that her way of rebelling against her parents?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rainy, the instigator of all this, was doing something at the seawater canal harbor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Just wave my phone here and…heyyy, over here!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was a unique city with land and water routes complexly intertwined, but when you had enough people, it was cheaper to split the cost of calling in a self-navigating yacht taxi than for each individual to rent their own electric scooter. Tsumugi ended up dragged in along with the group.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A 2D maid smiled from the 15-inch LCD screen in the yacht.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was inexplicably wearing a collar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I will accompany you wherever you wish to go, milady. Where to today?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Whose filthy search history made the algorithm choose such a fetishy virtual operator?” asked Chatty. “Okay, everyone, on three: one…two…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Rainy for sure.” “Rainy for sure.” “Rainy for sure.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After all the gyarus but the culprit answered in unison, they provided their destination and set off.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rainy herself only bashfully scratched her head. Even though that hadn’t been a compliment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The yacht had no engine or propeller, but the navigation was done entirely by a program. Several reels took in thick wires to deftly manipulate the tall triangular sail. The yacht wouldn’t admit defeat and start its emergency motor to operate its water jets unless there was truly no wind at all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s so hot… It’s a real shame this brand new city doesn’t have a subway. The direct sunlight is too much!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The city’s made of kilometers-long megafloats, so they can’t build anything too deep. Here, I have a fan.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tall Chatty sounded exasperated but still provided some help. She was apparently one of the more clever gyarus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The canal was lined by coconut palms and shiny glass-covered high-tech buildings that absorbed the blue of the sky.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The girls sat on the edge of the yacht to enjoy the view. This had been Rainy’s idea, but she was already wilting. She didn’t even seem aware of the delivery drones flying around overhead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh… While we’re here, everyone, any ideas for giving this girl’s lackluster site an explosive boost?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Here it comes. Why can’t they mind their own business? And it’s got plenty of luster already!!&#039;&#039; (Tsumugi’s inner voice)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gyarus were swift to respond.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Strip!! She’s got huge tits, so she might as well show them off.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Dance!! With boobs that big, she needs to put them to good us.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hmm, the results of our impartial survey tell us the quickest way to gather visitors is sex appeal. Like those nasty late-night dramas where young guys and girls are all over each other and sharing the scent of their perfume.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Th-that is out of the question.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Were they not aware this was for a shrine? And the black-haired shrine maiden had another question.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Also, I know it comes up in dramas a lot, but can you really pick up the scent of someone’s perfume that easily?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Well, Yahirodono-san, how about I share some of the crazy stuff I bought at the Satellite Mall recently☆”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Gwahhhh, not in this sweaty heat!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was Chatty using her long limbs to hug Tsumugi from the other side and rub her cheek against her. Tsumugi screamed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rainy laughed (while subtly keeping her distance).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ah ha ha. We call her Chatty because she has to make herself a part of every conversation. But not in too annoying a way. She’s an acquired taste, but once you’re used to it, you miss it when she’s not around.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Did you just place me in the same category as some crazy squid shiokara? Take this! Special Attack: Ghost Vid-”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Whoa, Mugikko’s boobs are huge! They’re going wild while you scramble around!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, dear. That size hardly seems fair when she’s the shortest one here.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi wasn’t fond of this topic, so she stayed silent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was more interested in this Satellite Mall they were going to. While pushing the talkative one’s face back with a hand, she unfolded her phone like a trifold mirror to turn it into a notebook-size tablet. For someone shy who found it stifling to be surrounded by unfamiliar people, she liked how it gave her something safe to look at, so she checked a map app on the large screen. Unfortunately, Betsuzaki Rainy noticed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Mugikko, I’ve been meaning to ask. What’s with that phone? I don’t remember Plasperia having a trifold version. I only know about the normal folding ones.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“They showed this model off at a corporate conference, but they never developed a general commercial model because the production costs were too high for it to be profitable.&#039;&#039;Someone I know&#039;&#039; gave it to me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“A one-of-a-kind event display model? What kind of connections do you have?” asked Rie.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This girl’s the real deal. Look at her fingers flying along the screen. Hard to believe that’s the same app we use.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rainy leaned in from the side to get a look at the screen. Did she have to get so close?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then a large shadow passed by overhead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ohh!” “Ohh!” “Ohh!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Those noisy gyarus actually gasped and fell silent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A 50m metal bridge had split in the middle with both sides lifting diagonally. In other words, it was a drawbridge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It seemed unlikely there were any true bridge nerds among the gyarus, but humans tended to be awed by any unimaginably enormous structure staring down at them. The torii at Shinto shrines and the large Buddha statues at Buddhist temples were partially meant to take advantage of that psychological effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They passed below the raised bridge along with a mid-sized passenger cruiser. Even their yacht was more than 10m with the tall, sharp sail, so apparently they did need the bridge raised.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That’s the Overlook Bridge, right? Anyway, I need a photo of this.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, I wouldn’t do that if I were you, Rainy. &#039;&#039;You might catch something scary,&#039;&#039;” said Chatty with a grin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Their self-navigating yacht taxi arrived at a harbor. They had the yacht split the bill between them. They didn’t have to do anything themselves. It used facial recognition to automatically charge it to their phones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As they crossed the crosswalk in front of the parking lot, Chatty pouted her lips.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Rainy, don’t stare at your phone while you cross the road.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Don’t worry. There are bars down on either side of us like at a train cross-”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But one of the retractable spikes linked with the crossing gate could pierce right through the sole of your shoe…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yikes!? That’s a metal spike!” shouted Rainy, quickly dodging out of the way of something like a giant’s comb growing up from the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The cars waiting in front of the crossing gate didn’t appear to have anyone in the driver’s seat, so they didn’t have to worry about getting honked or yelled at to hurry up. They continued on to a giant glass-covered building. The odd place had been absorbed into the base of an exceptionally tall skyscraper.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But c’mon, we’re schoolgirls. If we’re gonna advertise a site, it has to be singing and dancing! So just go for it and make a 90 second video of low angle shots intercut with the site’s best features and upload it to TikTop.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“D-don’t break down traditional Kagura to nothing but its BPM. And no speeding it up or reversing it either.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once inside the large shopping mall, they were met by the blessings of air conditioning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chatty must have just liked to be helpful because she explained things for the first-timer shrine maiden.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The Satellite Mall started out as a TV station’s tourist floor but it’s developed into a giant commercial facility. So it’s just an extra tacked onto Waterfront TV. The number of stores is crazy. I think there’s around 500.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Rumor is you can find comedians searching through the party goods here hoping to find new material.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That lazy voice from the side sounded unfamiliar and Tsumugi looked over to find the number of gyarus had grown at some point. And this one was wearing a different uniform. Shy Tsumugi pulled her head down like a turtle, but Rainy moved in to shield her. Completely subconsciously.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…Y-you have friends in other schools?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Why bother dividing us up between schools, Wharf Roach-chan? We’re all connected on social media anyway.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What was Betsuzaki Rainy’s gyaru power? Her mysterious aura overpowered a random man, forcing him to step out of the way to let them through. Tsumugi could sense that he was a fellow introvert.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A girl in a short-sleeve shirt and a pink miniskirt tilted her head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had a decoration similar to rank insignia pinned to her shoulders. Did that indicate her year or was it related to a club or committee she was on? Her hair was black and tied in two bundles that fell down the front of her shoulders, giving her a more mature look.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She seemed straitlaced, but she must have been careless too because her bright-colored bra straps showed through her shirt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Onee-chan, what are you doing here?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, and this is my sister, not a friend. She’s in the third year of middle school. Now you’ve met both sisters☆”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So the gyaru was a gyaru sister.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Miss Straitlaced, the younger sister, tilted her head again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Are you causing trouble again?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What do you mean again, Yuhi?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That the gyaru sister could look at this situation and not know what she meant was answer enough.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But then focus shifted to Tsumugi. These gyarus from other schools were so unpredictable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“By the way, why do Chatty and the black-haired one smell the same?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wait, she smells faintly of her perfume. Does that mean the two of them are…?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some false suspicions were growing between the gyaru from another school and the little sister.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apparently, that had been a time-delayed attack. Tsumugi hung her head and trembled while speaking with a shadow over her face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh…so this is Chatty’s power. I see what you mean about her being an acquired taste!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Right? But it’s never enough to get really mad about it and refuse to speak with her for it. She’s found just that right level that makes her addictively charming once you’re used to her! Like wanting to pick at a healing scab!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But why did Rainy sound so proud about it?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regardless, they were here for an apron. The one Tsumugi had stained with oil was actually handmade with a sewing machine, so she didn’t know where to look. She doubted there was a shop just for aprons, but they ended up taking her to a shop for cookware and household items. The place seemed more about helping you cook snacks than meals, but there was a section with potholders, aprons, and the like.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So what kinda apron were you looking for?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Eh? As long as its plain and made of an easily washable material, I don’t really ca-”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Okay, everyone!! It turns out Mugikko came in suicidally unprepared, so it’s up to us to find her something cute!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rainy silenced her with a smile. With “this is a threat to your femininity” written large on her face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then the group of unfamiliar gyarus huddled together and began discussing the matter without consulting Tsumugi herself. They spread out samples between their hands and searched the in-stock options on their folding phones despite being inside the store already.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Okay, this would be the basic apron. It’s not very exciting, but it’s powerful when worn over a school uniform.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hey, Chatty, how about adding lots of frill and lace to give it the young wife look?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Absolutely not, Sakuranamiki Rie. That kind is meant to be worn with nothing else on. But the range that girl could pull off is crazy. With her traditional black-hair look, I bet she would look right at home wearing a kappogi.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hee hee. But Yahirodono is so short she might look like a kid on cafeteria duty. Kinky.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;What are they going to do to me?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While Tsumugi trembled, Rainy returned from somewhere carrying something. She spread it out between her hands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Check out what I found. Don’t you think &#039;&#039;this&#039;&#039; would be best?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yeah.” “Yeah.” “Yeah.” “Yeah.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh? And I thought I could make this more exciting by having a vote or play rock paper scissors to decide the winner, but it’s unanimous, huh? Okay, Mugikko, c’mere. Your big sis will help you change.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In this case “changing” only meant putting an apron on over her short-sleeved sailor shirt, so they did it right there. Rainy circled behind Tsumugi and crouched while Tsumugi raised her arms a bit to let her do it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…You chose an apron that only covers my hips?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yep. I don’t know what they’re actually called, but the pink frills are pretty powerful, don’t you think?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi was reminded of when the shrine was still around and the older shrine maidens had looked after her much like this when they made rice balls or rice cakes for everyone. She was fondly looking back on those times when the apron’s strap suddenly tightened.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She immediately gasped. And her face flushed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Wait a second. Why does it feel so tight all of a sudden?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tightening the strap around her waist naturally tugged her short-sleeve sailor shirt downwards. Strongly. And this pulled the shirt more tightly around her large chest than before! Making them look enormous!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Nyuwah!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(They’re all staring. I-I want to hide in my phone…)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The girl who had known exactly how this would turn out was grinning. With a “mission accomplished” look on her face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yeah, it’s gotta be the titty apron for her, right!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“A normal one. I just want a normal one!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Fine, fine. But I’m just not sure what a big grown-up like you means by normal☆”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 4===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flowers of light blossomed in the distance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But then those points of light began moving to the side like a school of little fish. This wasn’t a fireworks show. Hundreds of LED-equipped drones were performing coordinated acrobatics. They didn’t produce a boom like fireworks did, so they were free to perform even late at night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In this case, that meant past 2 in the morning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite both existing in the middle of the night, this area felt like a completely different world from the distant beer garden.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Dammit, Rainy. I worked hard getting that ghost video and then you have to upstage me… But maybe I never had a chance against those boobs. They do say sex always wins out against horror.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chatty was chatting to herself, not because she was afraid or lonely, but because she had a video app running on the phone currently in her short-sleeve sailor shirt’s breast pocket. She had heard rumors that girls with big enough chests couldn’t store their phone in that pocket, but was that really true? Thinking back, she thought Yahirodono-san had kept hers in her skirt pocket.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I need something better. Some legit horror.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So she was visiting a haunted location. However, she had not chosen a creepy abandoned hospital or run-down cemetery. It was a location they had seen from the yacht taxi during the day: Overlook Bridge. This time, she had arrived on the high-tech drawbridge from the land route. However, the 50m movable bridge was known by another name on the darker parts of the web.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“&#039;&#039;Mincemeat Drawbridge&#039;&#039;, huh? Whew, that’s crazy… Is it cause of the poor lighting? It does look creepy at night. Anyway, I’m here at the rumored Mincemeat Bridge tonight. In the past three years, five people have been caught in the bridge’s moving parts and crushed by its 130 horsepower, so now it’s said to be haunted. Got that?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For Chatty, it didn’t really matter if there was really a ghost here or not. She just wanted some proof to show that she had gone to the supposedly haunted place to check it out for herself. She wanted to be able to talk about it as someone who was there, not something she had heard from a friend of a friend. She wanted to be able to say with confidence that it wasn’t just a made up story. Hence the video taken with her phone. Even if there wasn’t a ghost, just catching a chips bag blown by the wind or a black cut cutting by in front of her would be scary if it happened without warning. Then they could all gather together during lunch to watch it and freak out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or so she thought.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Huh? What’s the deal? My phone’s not working.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She didn’t feel the gentle warmth she normally did when her phone was in her breast pocket.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Puzzled, she pulled her phone out and found it wasn’t just the app acting up. The entire phone wasn’t responding. She opened the foldable screen and tried tapping it and speaking to it. She tried to remember how it was done and then pressed both the rarely-used buttons at once, but still nothing. It was frozen and wouldn’t do a thing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She didn’t understand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Something she had taken for granted suddenly wasn’t working. That alone made unease grow rapidly within her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She suddenly realized she was standing all alone in the shadows late at night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She heard something like a ringing in her ears. It was quiet, fine, unsteady, and shrill…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And as she panicked, Chatty looked up from her phone to see…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…&#039;&#039;Huh&#039;&#039;?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 5===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cooking class was next. Yahirodono Tsumugi couldn’t stop sighing heavily in the middle of the classroom. She didn’t want to go to the cooking classroom because of that apron.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had expected Rainy to tease her about it, but she came at it from an unexpected angle. Gyarus were too unpredictable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“By the way, if you’re serious about rebuilding that shrine, how much is it going to cost you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…The land is still there. But just the land.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So you just need the building? Then will it not be that bad?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The torii out front will cost 20 million yen.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The smile froze on the gyaru sister’s face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was actually on the cheap side for a one-of-a-kind traditional craft that required work from many different types of craftsmen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And it didn’t end there. The shrine maiden wilted as she counted them off on her fingers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The front shrine will cost 130 million, the shrine office will cost 5 million, and the main shrine will cost 200 million. The shintai is a loom shuttle. Then there’s the hall of offerings, the food offering room, and the fence surrounding the vast grounds. And to truly return it to its former glory, there’s the impressive stone steps, the gravel out front, upkeep for the path to the shrine, and the stone lanterns. Oh, and let’s not forget upkeep for the pond and figuring out what to do about the sacred tree…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Here, have some water. I get it, just take this water and don’t wither away, you flower of a schoolgirl!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As she counted through it all with gloom in her dizzy eyes, she was gifted a bottle of water. A partially consumed bottle of water. When would she ever be able to rebuild the shrine? Maybe she could win first prize in the lottery eight times in a row or something?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then Chatty (who seemed extra chatty today in cute thigh highs) approached them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s time. I managed to take a crazy and really staticky video. After grabbing your ginger pork meals for lunch, come join me in the locker room. We’ll have a ghost video party☆”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What, is this something scary? …Hey, did you know Chatty’s the only one in our class who wears athletic bloomers for gym? Probably so she can talk about it!! But I just can’t get enough of her!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi really didn’t need to know that. And the girl’s shouting voice echoed across the classroom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, yikes! You think I like that the girl’s volleyball team the only one still wearing bloomers and knee pads!? …Who wants to be the next bloomers victim? You, come join the volleyball team!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She must have tripped during the excitement because Chatty herself fell to the floor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It made quite a lot of noise.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ugh.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hey, are you alright, Chatty? Is your right leg hurting you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Want to use my cooling spray? As the beautiful manager who all the soccer team has a crush on, I know just what to do.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After they sat Chatty down in a chair, one of their classmates knelt down in front of her and began removing her slipper.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then Chatty seemed to realize something.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No, wait, crazy wait!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was a second too late.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once the starch came out of the thigh of the long sock, it only took an instant. When the crouching classmate removed her friend’s thigh high along with the slipper, she saw it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The right leg was discolored a bluish-black. Every bit of it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And digging into the oozing wound like guitar picks were dozens of yellowed fingernails.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 6===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“New ID: Did you see Chatty’s leg?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::“New ID: That’s really bad. She must’ve gone to Mincemeat Drawbridge, right?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::“aaaa: The Chatty stuff is real. It’s not a laughing matter.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“1234: I saw her leg myself…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:“New ID: The whole thing was discolored. Maybe rotting? She’s so gross.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::“New ID: …Is occult stuff like that contagious?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::“New ID: I heard it was cause of her the upperclassman on our team got hurt!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:“Burner☆: That explains why the vending machine ate my change.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“New ID: I don’t believe in that stuff, but would it be best to stay away from her?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She couldn’t go to the classroom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Everyone smiled and acted all well-behaved, but social media was full of one-time-use burner accounts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But if she tried to stay home, her parents wouldn’t get off her back. And if a girl in her school uniform wandered around town during the day, the police would question her. She found herself stuck in the middle. She had to go to school, but she couldn’t bring herself to enter the classroom, so she wound up in the infirmary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How many days had it been now?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She hadn’t gone to practice either. She knew she had to be getting out of shape by now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She hadn’t even met Rainy. Because even seeing Rainy’s face felt like confronting how she was an outsider now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chatty wished she could stop counting the days.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The infirmary was an idyllic flower garden. Only for losers, but it was still comfortable. There she was cut off from all dangers and pains and she could tell it had been designed that way. This environment had not developed by chance. It had the unshakable comfort of a greenhouse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Don’t worry. I will always be here for you,” said the school doctor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes. She alone hadn’t looked at her like there was something wrong with her. She had treated her like a human being instead of a freak of nature or vermin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was all Chatty had left in the school.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Only her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So I want you to listen to what I have to say and make a choice for yourself.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That kind doctor looked Chatty straight in the eye.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And spoke.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“&#039;&#039;If you’re only going to trouble everyone else by being here, you can always stay home from school for a while.&#039;&#039;”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her heart stopped.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 7===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was still morning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So the entranceway was empty. Only Chatty stood there. With her thin school bag in hand and her slippers removed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had to toss the slippers in the shoe locker at this hour. And then take her leather shoes out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had been driven out of the small world known as a school.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gently but undeniably. She had been told she would only be causing “trouble” if she continued to stay in the infirmary that had acted as her last refuge. That irritated rush job was still burned into the back of her eyelids.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s not fair…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Something spilled from her mouth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She knew saying it out loud would only sound pathetic, but she couldn’t help it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She couldn’t hold it back any longer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I know it was supposed to be crazy haunted, but all I did was go the place everyone was talking about. Other people went too!! I didn’t do anything and it’s just some weird mark that appeared on its own!! I tried to hide it under the thigh highs cause I didn’t want to scare anyone! So why do they have to get all creeped out and drive me out of school? Why only me!? Won’t someone…why...ugh…won’t someone help me!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her words wouldn’t get through to anyone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No one would listen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No one would reach out a helping hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And yet…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Don’t worry. …What you saw was real and I will purify it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She gasped and looked up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had heard a definite voice. From the other side of the wall of shoe lockers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She wiped away her tears and checked behind them, but no one was there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Only empty space.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But hadn’t she just heard a girl’s voice?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 8===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It wasn’t teleportation or anything like that. Yahirodono Tsumugi sighed softly after leaving the school’s front door ahead of Chatty.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was really starting to irritate her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Detective&amp;gt; I’ve tracked down the past five victims from their phone location data. They encountered it while walking that bridge on foot between midnight and 4 AM when traffic is almost nonexistent. And this appears to be the kind that establishes a link.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Online Shrine Maiden&amp;gt; You mean it will still kill you even if you physically escape the haunted location?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Detective&amp;gt; Honestly, I’m amazed she’s lasted this long.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Disheartening. Tsumugi replied with a wilted flower stamp.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Detective&amp;gt; Contact with a Malign Spirit means death. It usually happens instantly, but it is sometimes delayed.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Online Shrine Maiden&amp;gt; So it caught her leg but she managed to escape. And now it’s only a matter of time?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Detective&amp;gt; It guaranteed a future death for her. Maybe she’ll panic at home and crush herself in a door or shutter, or maybe she’ll throw herself in front of a truck. However it happens, she will ultimately have her entire right leg crushed and torn off before she’s crushed to death. That much is fixed now.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Online Shrine Maiden&amp;gt; With a life on the line, I wanted to increase our odds of success as much as possible by gathering information first, but we can’t afford to delay any longer for preparations. It’s time I visited the location and eliminated the Malign Spirit.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And just as Tsumugi returned her trifold phone to her skirt pocket…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hey.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Someone called out to her from behind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was the gyaru sister, Betsuzaki Rainy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If you’re going to save Chatty, bring me with me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What are you talking about?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Don’t bother with that. I keep telling them to knock it off in the classroom, but they won’t quit using those one-off burner accounts. It’s gotten so out of hand it might not &#039;&#039;just&#039;&#039; be this school’s students anymore. They’re all so damn irresponsible! &#039;&#039;But that’s not the main issue&#039;&#039;!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gyaru sister glared fiercely at Tsumugi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Don’t underestimate a gyaru’s information network. The rumors about a shrine maiden saving the mother and child at the Apartment of Many Deaths – that’s you. I’ve known you’re the real deal since before I spied on your phone’s screen!! This isn’t about those silly burner accounts and gawkers. There’s someone here who can eliminate the real problem and bring back Chatty’s school life! And if there’s a way, I’m helping!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The online shrine maiden of an online shrine sighed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;She switched modes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Rank: Single Dread Star. The Ghastly Crusher.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’m asking if you even know what you’re saying. This brand-new city has only been floating in the ocean here for three years, but the Mincemeat Drawbridge is &#039;&#039;real&#039;&#039;. I have a general handle on the various conditions and it will &#039;&#039;appear&#039;&#039; to anyone who sets foot there tonight. Carelessly get involved and you will lose your life. Nothing good will come from the involvement of someone without the necessary knowledge and skills.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That’s all the more reason I can’t leave Chatty like this!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She didn’t even hesitate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So that was her angle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Let me put it more simply: do you want to die?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“How many times do I have to explain this!? Chatty’s facing that right now! So I can’t just leave her down in the depths! I’m going to save her! …A mysterious online shrine? A shrine maiden who fights real ghosts? I don’t know what your secret is, Mugikko! But that secret has nothing at all to do with me wanting to go save Chatty when she’s suffering right this second!!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi slowly let out a sigh.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That much was true. She couldn’t argue, so she raised the white flag. The online shrine maiden had just one more thing to say.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If you do this, you will truly be risking your life. It’s up to you to be ready for that.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 9===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Betsuzaki Yuhi was a straitlaced girl. So much so that she was on the library committee and continued serving in that role even during her third year when she also had to study for her high school entrance exam. She often worked after school until it was dark. Today, the librarian spoke to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Betsuzaki-san, you don’t have to get it all done today. How about you call it a day here? That pile of books is heavy, so let’s work through it bit by bit.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Okayyy.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her phone vibrated. It was a social media notification, so she opened it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was from a high schooler friend of hers. Or rather, one of her sister’s friends.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Zetsubi&amp;gt; Do you know where Rainy is? That girl slipped out midday and we haven’t seen her since.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cutting school? What was that stupid sister up to now?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 10===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Night had fully fallen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yahirodono Tsumugi and Betsuzaki Rainy had arrived at Movable Bridge #38 – Overlook Bridge. However, few people knew its official name. Most people knew it better by a different name.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mincemeat Drawbridge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gyaru sister was already cowering and trembling. Her hands were tightly clasped to the online shrine maiden’s arm. A failed attempt at forcing a smile was frozen on her lips. This shifted the shoulder of Tsumugi’s clothes, so she really wished she would stop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“W-wow… Is that meant to set the mood?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Why are you even here?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The shrine maiden outfit! I-I’m talking about the mood that sets!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was true these were Tsumugi’s work clothes, so they naturally had a certain aura to them. And there was nothing at all odd about the pure red and white outfit when she was on her way to battle a Malign Spirit. In fact…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Why are you dressed like that? You had plenty of time to change before we met back up.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“A girl’s ultimate gear is her school uniform. Got a problem with that?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi had a headache. What was with that heavily modified uniform that left her navel uncovered? Tsumugi couldn’t even imagine what kind of bizarre items she might be carrying in that boxy school bag she was forcibly carrying on her back by passing her arm through the handle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Well, going for lightweight and nimble over heavy and defensive was actually the correct choice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“D-don’t worry, don’t worry! I-I can be useful! I-I-I-I-I mean, we live in an age when I can find photos of useful power spots on my phone if you ask me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I can just use a voice command to run an image search. Besides, I doubt your phone will work anyway.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi breathed an exasperated sigh. Rainy must have found that comment curious because she pulled her phone from her short-sleeve sailor shirt’s breast pocket to check and found the screen frozen. Worry rapidly covered her face. Her phone wasn’t working and tapping at it with her finger failed to bring up any of the usual services. That was enough for her eyes to wander around erratically. &#039;&#039;The loss of what she took for granted&#039;&#039; had disturbed her mental equilibrium.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A phone was just an electronic device. But having that one ordinary item taken away was enough to isolate people from the world and make them mistrustful of everything around them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A shrill ringing sound passed from right to left.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That’s the Groan.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi said nothing more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For those in the know no more explanation was necessary and those not in the know shouldn’t have been here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Too late for that.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rainy had gathered her resolve. She was set on saving her classmate Chatty. Which meant thoroughly destroying the Malign Spirit haunting Mincemeat Drawbridge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Bwoah!? O-o-o-oh, it’s just a seagull. Don’t scare me like that, jeez!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had gathered her resolve, hadn’t she?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Anyway, isn’t this a touristy area? It’s a high-tech computer-controlled bridge. H-how does that became all creepy and haunted?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“A drawbridge is an intersection between a land route and a sea canal. Which is something like an extra-large version of a railway crossing. That makes it a dangerous and possibly deadly location.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For now, Tsumugi walked across the drawbridge to check it out. There were the occasional halogen lights like in a gym, but the shadows were deep. The gyaru sister asked a question while clinging tightly to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Can we even see ghosts? I-I don’t even know that.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’ll be using this.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She didn’t know anything, did she? The online shrine maiden pulled a bundle of incense sticks from her large sleeve. She lit them with a well-worn oil lighter and slowly waved them side to side. Smoke with a sickly sweet scent thinly spread out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If they aren’t visible under ordinary circumstances, we just have to make them more visible. You know how the sun shining in through the gap in the curtain looks like a streak of light when it hits the dust in your room? It’s like that. …Of course, it seems to me a shrine maiden using incense sticks is the result of shinbutsu-shugo, or of inverted honji suijaku theory.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I don’t get the joke.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That wasn’t a joke.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“S-so you’re saying there will be a real ghost here? We’ll see one? Ugh, that is not the kind of rainbow LR I want to pull…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No one can defeat it without finding it first.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The railing on the outer edge of the sidewalk was a chain-link fence, but something was stuck between the wires. And not just one. The countless objects were all cheap origami dolls. Their age differed. Some were brand new while others were half dissolved by the rain and wind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rainy looked puzzled.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wh-what are these? Oh, they must be talismans to ward off the evil spirit! Now that’s considerate design. They’re like ammo in a zombie game. We have an unlimited supply of exorcism items in this haunted location, or HL for short!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I wouldn’t look too closely if I were you.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi tried to stop her, but Rainy still took a look and then stiffened.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The origami dolls all had small writing on them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My target” “I beseech thee to kill” “I soaked this in a drop of my boss’s blood” “His soul is yours” “It was all his fault” “Kill, kill, kill” “Please kill this villain” “Revenge” “This is a just act, great ghost” “Crush” “Necessary evil” “I can never forgive that scum”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To repeat, there wasn’t just one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They covered the entire fence alongside the 50m bridge’s sidewalk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“A-are these praising the ghost and treating it like a hero? To take the revenge they can’t take themselves!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Malign Spirits are not so useful.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi was exasperated. Attempting to utilize imagined commonalities and rules was a common point of confusion. And with no scientific basis and thus no guarantee anything would even happen, people felt no guilt in trying it out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The Malign Spirits who wield their power for people simply are not that convenient…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She saw fire in her mind’s eye.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A giant blazing torii and a woman’s silhouette standing below it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What’s wrong?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…Nothing.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So that…Groan thing? It must emit some kind of waves. I’ve been feeling a headache, but I barely hear anything.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Apparently the people who can’t hear it don’t hear anything at all. And since I can hear it here, the information from the job list I received must be accurate. There really is &#039;&#039;something&#039;&#039; here.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wait, are you saying I could hire a real live battle shrine maiden and use her for anything I wanted!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So what if you could?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Where………………is………………?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Something shrill enveloped the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even the primitive halogen lights that didn’t use semiconductors flashed irregularly and Rainy grimaced. They were less than a meter apart, but their voices couldn’t reach each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It moved in and out of her audible range, but even when it was silent, there had to be something there. Something was definitely rattling the electronics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was no time. The girl in the shrine maiden outfit clicked her tongue and pulled a few fireworks from her large sleeves. These fireworks looked like the center tube from a roll of plastic wrap and launched either a single large firework or twenty smaller ones. Rainy widened her eyes as Tsumugi shoved one of the more powerful ones into her arms. Needless to say, Rainy was in the most danger here. The odds of her death had just skyrocketed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The incense sticks may not mean much at this point, but…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi trailed off there. She was annoyed with herself. Rainy wouldn’t be able to hear anything over the shrill Groan, so why was she bothering to speak?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She slowly waved the bundle of lit incense sticks side to side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Something&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::::impossible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::::She saw something&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::she shouldn’t have seen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The light of the flashing halogen lights tangled with the thin smoke, bringing something else into view. Vaguely and intermittently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There it was.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The Single Dread Star Ghastly Crusher!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 11===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She remembered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chatty was crying.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And asking why everyone had to get all creeped out and drive her out of school.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because Mincemeat Drawbridge was a &#039;&#039;real&#039;&#039; haunted location? Because an invisible Malign Spirit called the Ghastly Crusher was there and it had been inappropriate and careless to go there after nightfall?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Of course not.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The problem was that something like you is haunting this place like you own the place.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why should you get to smugly turn an ordinary bridge into a place of death?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Don’t think you get to toy with people’s lives just because you died once yourself, Malign Spirit!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 12===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the night breeze dragged the incense smoke along, some outlines came into view.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It flickered in and out in time with the halogen lights.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What stood in the center of the brand-new drawbridge appeared to be a young woman. She had short red hair and wore a short-sleeve blouse, black slacks, and a cardigan to protect her from the sun. Her lowered head created a shadow blocking her face from view. But something else drew the eye more than the face. Her hands were both more than meter across and directly gripped the ground. She had another giant hand at the back of her hips, making her look something like a twisted version of a nine-tailed fox.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was the Ghastly Crusher, the Malign Spirit haunting the Mincemeat Drawbridge. If nothing was done about her, she would cause more and more tragedy here. She crushed and killed people who crossed this bridge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And even if she didn’t know exactly how it worked, someone was risking her one and only life here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Betsuzaki Rainy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, god. Oh, god. Oh, god. I can see it. Wh-wh-wh-what, it’s there, what am I supposed to do…?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was scared. Terrified.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This wasn’t a figure of speech or intangible bad luck. It was here. It was definitely right here! A ghost. Ordinarily, she would have bolted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But she didn’t.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Get it together, me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There’s an expert here and a chance like this won’t come again. Don’t miss this tailwind. This professional has clashed with these things countless time and lived to tell the tale, so you can defeat this ghost. That alone is enough to say you’re really damn lucky here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hey, get lost, you occult ghost! You don’t get to just appear and disappear and mess with people’s lives whenever you want! So go back to hell where you- &#039;&#039;&#039;dbfhhhh&#039;&#039;&#039;!!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rainy was launched to the side by a kick from the online shrine maiden. A merciless one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Ghastly Crusher made her move a moment later. One of her giant hands dropped down as if swatting a fly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Kathoooom!!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The bridge sank down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It truly lowered by more than 5 centimeters. Not only did the metal cry out in protest, but it audibly snapped in places. Nuts thick enough to fit one’s thumb through broke and tore through the air like bullets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One hit from that was all it would take. It would mean instant death. They would be crushed beyond recognition.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Forgetting all about the pain of being kicked or having the breath knocked out of her, the gyaru sister trembled down on the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her mind was blank.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You’re…kidding.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Generally speaking, you can’t afford to take even a single attack from a Malign Spirit. Not even from a fingertip or a single hair. Do not even consider grabbing at one of those monsters!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Then!? How are we supposed to fight-”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With a “fwoosh!!”, bright sparks swept away the shadows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The shrine maiden had lit a bottle rocket with her oil lighter. She appeared to have a lot hidden both up her sleeves and in the triangular cut-outs in the sides of her hakama. She operated multiple fireworks with one hand, fanning them out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They sliced through the air.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Several lights rapidly pierced the flickering figure in the incense smoke and then exploded inside her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was a scream.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mysterious ghost reeled back. Large pieces had been painfully torn from her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rainy’s legs were still shaky, but she managed to roll further away as she shouted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s working. Oh, is that why you gave me a firework before!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Without taking her eyes off the Malign Spirit, Tsumugi tossed something over to Rainy: a bundle of incense sticks. Rainy somehow managed to catch them in one hand and then realized they were burning with an orange flame.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Whoa!? Hey!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The fireworks aren’t special. They will only damage Malign Spirits when lit by the pure flame of this oil lighter – the Imperial Exorcism Igniter!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So even if she couldn’t hand over the lighter itself, its power could be shared using incense sticks and candles? Then these were crucial items. The gyaru sister hurriedly adjusted her grip on the incense sticks. She didn’t want to carelessly extinguish them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“O-okay. But ghosts are dead, so what even counts as defeating them?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“&#039;&#039;By utterly destroying their twisted and broken soul&#039;&#039;.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Destroy- wait? You mean helping them fulfill some hidden feelings or regrets so they can pass on to heaven or whatever!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Going to heaven is not a part of Shinto.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After reeling back from the bottle rocket, the Ghastly Crusher leaned forward again to correct her posture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You can’t expect anything so emotional from the shrine maiden of a shrine that conquers its enemies.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A red and white wind roared.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This time, the shrine maiden rushed toward the Ghastly Crusher.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She kept low and moved sharply.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In response, the Malign Spirit swung a meter-long hand diagonally down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But the shrine maiden’s large sleeves drew out a swirling circle as she twirled out of the way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She ended up exactly back-to-back with the Ghastly Crusher which was partially swung around by the force of her own arm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No, she did more than just evade.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As she moved past, she wrapped a very long bundle of firecrackers around the Ghastly Crusher’s neck.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A series of dry blasts rang out. There was no blood. But the lit firecrackers tore a large chunk from the side of the ghost woman’s neck. Enough for her entire head to be tilted at an angle. The gyaru sister shouted aloud without thinking.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That’s doing real damage… Even though that thing may not even have physical shape or weight!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With a roar, the Ghastly Crusher tore the still-erupting firecrackers from her neck and approached once more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Malign Spirit swung her giant arm to the side and a guardrail thicker than the girl’s head burst like a balloon. A hit from that would likely obliterate the online shrine maiden’s body, but still it did not hit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The attack found only air.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The black-haired girl leaned backwards until she performed a bridge and her left hand touched the ground. She let the attack pass overhead. Then the shrine maiden gathered strength in her left hand and left leg to send herself spinning sharply through the air. This avoided a second slap meant to attack lower, down at her feet. Before Tsumugi even landed, she ignited bottle rockets in midair to send another series of close-range attacks toward the Ghastly Crusher.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They stabbed into every part of the Malign Spirit’s body and detonated within to blow away more and more of her silhouette. The ghost screamed as she was filled with hole after fist-sized hole.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Wow…)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rainy was absorbed by the scene before her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not only by the online shrine maiden’s movements, but by how unfazed she was by these close calls with death. She was used to this. She even gave off a refined sort of beauty. She performed a deadly dance that wielded flames and explosives while moving along a series of circular paths.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, the gyaru sister couldn’t assist her when she was moving so quickly. She had a firework, but with those two trading places so rapidly, she could end up burning the online shrine maiden’s back if she tried.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The air moved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The range didn’t matter. The ghost launched a remote attack. The incense smoke was disturbed and a giant invisible hand of more than 5 meters dropped toward the online shrine maiden’s head like a suspended ceiling.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The asphalt sank down like clay and the drawbridge that had to weigh thousands of tons creaked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But she was unharmed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yahirodono Tsumugi had stepped forward to escape toward the little finger side of the giant wrist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As big as it was, a hand was still a hand. And even with a remote attack, the ghost apparently needed to move her own hand. So by moving to the little finger side, the ghost’s own lowered hand and wrist would get in the way of attacking with the other hand. Tsumugi fired more bottle rockets. The young woman Malign Spirit let out a discordant scream and staggered back. Tsumugi twirled out of the way of the retaliating hand and readied additional fireworks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was when a large mass swayed and its weight moving in the opposite direction of the online shrine maiden’s own movement slightly slowed the sharp reversal of her side step. That mass was her chest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…I can’t stand these things.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then she launched another series of attacks. At first glance, it looked like the professional, the online shrine maiden, was unilaterally winning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But something wasn’t right.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As unilateral as it was, the fighting never seemed to end. &#039;&#039;She couldn’t actually defeat the ghost&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi had perfect accuracy but couldn’t deliver a finishing blow. The Ghastly Crusher had slower attacks, but a single hit would mean instant death. Even after all this, the Malign Spirit was still the one in control. The black-haired shrine maiden raised her voice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This isn’t my attacks being deflected. It’s more like they’re not reaching her at all? Her core may be elsewhere. If you don’t have anything better to do, then go search for something!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“C-can’t you give me anything better than ‘something’!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The Ghastly Crusher!! &#039;&#039;Where on this bridge did she die&#039;&#039;!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 13===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When mid-sized cargo ships or passenger ships passed below, the drawbridge would raise its two halves to clear the way. In other words, it was like the giant crossing between a land route and a water route. To accommodate this, its structure was more complex than a normal bridge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, the joints used to raise the two halves of the bridge and the engine room used to supply power to those joints.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gyaru sister’s first thought was some giant gears fitting together in the engine room, but…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If there was a dead body caught in there, it would’ve been noticed by now.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There were a few flat switchboard-like things on the wall. The metal doors were labeled with colorful tape saying things like “lights”, “below”, and “traffic signal”, but she felt no need to touch them. There was no hiding a dead body in there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She left the engine room. She was scared, but she returned to the bridge and found a stairway leading down from the sidewalk. A metal stairway.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Physically moving away from the online shrine maiden reminded her how useless she was. While nervously descending the stairs, she found an identical pathway on the lower level. Or rather, it looked like the two directions across the bridge were fully separated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even now the bridge would shake irregularly. Due to Tsumugi and the Ghastly Crusher. She didn’t know how many thousands of tons the drawbridge weighed, but that wasn’t an opponent for a human being to face. If Tsumugi were defeated, all hope was lost. Left alone, Rainy would simply be tormented and killed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No, she couldn’t give in to those negative thoughts. It was true this wasn’t like a vertical phone manga or a pay-to-win game. She couldn’t hope to battle that real ghost head on. Hell, she didn’t even know the proper terminology for it. But she did hold some tickets allowing her to take a few actions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With that in mind, she gathered strength in her gut.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was scared, &#039;&#039;but she couldn’t stop here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(But where else can I look?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hmm, this ain’t good. Is it not this way?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had no way of knowing. The gyaru sister looked both ways to make sure no cars were coming before she hopped over the guardrail, cut across the wide street, and slid below the guardrail for the opposite sidewalk. She enjoyed playing flashy sports like free climbing, cycle ball, and skateboarding around the city, so she had naturally picked up how to use various urban obstacles to run and climb.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This side is pretty much the sa-”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Out past the railing, something twirled around and flew her way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was one of the online shrine maiden’s bottle rockets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Whoa!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rainy quickly ducked before realizing something.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was odd. She saw an orange glow near where Tsumugi’s stray bottle rocket had exploded. Like heated metal. It was hard to miss in the shadowy night. Flattened to the wire mesh floor…was what looked like the a footprint. Probably from a 23cm pump.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Could it be…?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Had she found it? Rainy pulled a launching type of firework from what she had been given. It didn’t look like the type you were meant to hold while using, though. She remembered she had been given a bundle of incense sticks and tried lighting it with them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bright light filled her view. By waving it side to side, sparks shot out like a hose, scattering over everything. It was highly effective. A few more footprints continued further in before suddenly making a turn. There was an orange glow on the metal railing there. Forming a pair of hand prints.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rainy briefly imagined something was crawling up from the outside of the bridge, but that wasn’t it. The gyaru sister noticed something odd about the weight distribution shown by the intensity of the glow in the footprints. With pumps, the heel could easily break if you put too much weight on them, so why would someone do that? Because the footprints were facing backwards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(So did she back up, bump into the railing, grab at it, but fail to escape before she was pushed off? …So is she attacking people who cross the bridge late at night because she’s searching for her murderer?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rainy followed the same path and peered down from the railing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She gasped. She held a hand to her reeling head. She had only seen it for a split second, but her mind badly wanted to reject it. The image had defiled her brain. She had to remember what it was she was looking for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It wasn’t on the drawbridge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gyaru sister recalled the flat metal box with the tape label saying “below”. And she recalled the crosswalk in front of the mall parking lot that had metal spikes that rose from the ground. …What if something similar, but on a scale large enough to stop cargo ships and passenger ships, was installed at the bottom of the ocean canal on either side of the drawbridge?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the drawbridge was closed, the giant spikes would jut up nearly to the surface of the water.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So even with water below, a fall would mean certain death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At any rate, Rainy had seen it. So she gathered strength in her gut and shouted as loud as she could.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I found herrrr!! She’s directly below!! She fell from the bri-”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Gweeeeeeeeeen!!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A ringing sound far louder than before erupted. What was it called? The Groan? It was the weird noise that kept phones from working. Rainy grimaced and held her head, but then it hit her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was only a few meters away, but this might distort her voice too much to reach the upper level of the bridge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But didn’t this also mean this was critical information for the Ghastly Crusher? Enough so that she was going this far to interfere?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then continuing to do what that ghost least wanted had to be the right choice!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Her………………is………………ridge!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She could get through.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She could.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“……bod………..bel……..the…..!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She tried over and over. She wasn’t about to give up. Maybe it was the continual screaming until she thought she would damage her throat, but she was reminded of when she had done karaoke with everyone recently. She had promised Chatty she would sing that song to the end even though it clearly wasn’t designed for a human being to sing. All while smiling. She wasn’t going to lose a single one of her friends!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Her body is…below…bridge!! I don’t know what you’re going to do…just hurry up defeat that thing and rescue Chattyyyyyyyyy…………yyyyyyyyyyyyy…………yyyyyyyyyyyyy…………yyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 14===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She heard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Groan was trembling unsteadily, but Yahirodono Tsumugi still heard that yell.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She knew the location of the broke and twisted soul’s “core”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Of course.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That just left one thing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“&#039;&#039;I will settle this before it’s too late.&#039;&#039;”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With a “clink”, she once more opened the oil lighter’s cover with her thumb.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 15===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was down at the dark water’s surface.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A skull was caught among the splashing waves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The egg-shaped object was covered by a large object almost like a hat. That was the rotting scalp with a woman’s hair growing from it. She must have had short hair in life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The skull wasn’t carried away by the waves because it was caught on one of the thick retractable spikes used to stop mid-sized cargo ships. That made the actual depth less than 2cm, making a fall from the bridge 10m above quite fatal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And by now, that skull was not alone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The inky ocean canal parted as something emerged: a hand of muddy-colored bones. And not just the one. More and more bony arms parted the waves in a chain reaction. Like a sea anemone or an antlion. Resembling a great maw gaping up toward heaven as it awaited its prey.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The records had been wrong. The single digit number of victims only counted those who had been accidentally crushed by the bridge mechanism, not the suicides who had been overlooked by the records. If the Ghastly Crusher had taken a double digit number of lives, then its rank was in fact Double Dread Star. And the more victims, the fiercer and more difficult to defeat she would be.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“C……..o……..m……..e……..”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The shrill unsteady sound was like a distorted ringing in the ear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By traveling through every possible wavelength and narrowing its width, it finally became a physical voice capable of vibrating human eardrums.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It formed the voice of a woman who had only been able to find amusement in destroying humans.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Come, come, come at me!! Hee hee hee ha ha, let us settle this. This is now one-on-one, so let us fight it out until your life too is taken. All because you insist on preventing me from meeting him someday somewhere!!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Something fell toward her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A festival-size firecracker bundle longer than a pants belt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Huh?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her gaping mouth seemed to welcome it in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A moment later, well over a 100 firecrackers erupted within the massive maw and the Ghastly Crusher was shredded from within like thin paper wrapped around an explosive, leaving nothing at all behind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 16===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Without even looking down over the fence railing, Yahirodono Tsumugi held her black hair down against the night breeze and spoke.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That is enough for you. Why would I ever bother with single combat against a Malign Spirit that only ranks a Double Dread Star even after correcting for the margin of error?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You did it. Now Chatty…finally…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over on the stairs connecting the upper and lower levels, Betsuzaki Rainy was leaning hard on the diagonal railing while still climbing step by step.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi was about to reply, but realized Rainy’s voice was a bit distorted. Puzzled, she pulled her trifold phone from her shrine maiden sleeve and found it still wasn’t functioning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(The Groan effect is still in place?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wait… Where did her core go!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 17===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the time Betsuzaki Yuhi arrived, it was fully dark out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And what were those two doing waving fireworks around on a public street this late at night?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Damn, Onee-chan’s phone is set to share her location, but the data was all glitched and I had to walk all over the place to find her.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She heard a voice going “goo goo”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After picking the baby up from the street, she approached the drawbridge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hey, are you filming some kind of video? Sorry if I get in the shot!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was supposed to be a casual comment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But they froze.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was weird. When they saw her, both of them stared wide-eyed and motionless. They almost seemed horrified?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wait…” said Rainy. “Y-Yuhi. Where did you get that? ~ ~ ~ That’s…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That’s what, Onee-chan?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Don’t worry. She hasn’t been fully possessed yet. And this saves me the effort of removing her. But I didn’t expect she could use such a powerful lure.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They were acting so carefully you would think they were dealing with unexploded ordnance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Actually…were they?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Come to think of it, why had there been a baby on the side of the road? Why had she picked it up without even thinking about it? No. For that matter…was it even a baby at all???&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was kind of slimy and smelled strongly of the beach. Yes, like rotten seawater. All she had to do was tilt her head down to look and she would know what it was she was holding to her chest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her neck joint locked up painfully. She was afraid to check. But her heart couldn’t bear to go on without checking. Yuhi slowly, slowly lowered her gaze to-&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::“&#039;&#039;Don’t look!!!&#039;&#039;”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She received an impossibly furious admonition. From her usually easygoing gyaru sister. It made Yuhi freeze, which may have been fortunate in this case. Because it created a brief opening. Tsumugi chose that moment to rush forward. She used both hands to snatch away something the size of a cabbage and turned away from Yuhi. As if to make sure the girl wouldn’t see what it was.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But the effort was in vain because Yuhi caught a glimpse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of a bloody skull with a clump of rotting hair perched atop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She could have sworn its empty eye sockets were staring straight at her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 18===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once the core of the broken and twisted soul was burned away with a firecracker, it was really and truly over.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“S-so what was all that?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The straitlaced sister was tearful and trembling, but there was no need to explain it to her. The black-haired shrine maiden sighed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’m going to be busy now.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Why? One of those things where this was the weakest of the bosses or something? But we came close enough to dying this time!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No, I have to prepare to transfer schools.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You’re leaving!? But why!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“&#039;&#039;My secret is far greater than Chatty’s&#039;&#039;.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Everyone had acted as if they were above reproach, but social media had had been aflood with burner accounts making irresponsible comments. That gyaru sister had to know all too well how cruel the society of a school could be.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The existence of a specialist in defeating Malign Spirits can be seen as proof that Malign Spirits exist. Being presented with something that unpleasant will make people uneasy. With my identity known, I had planned to change schools to avoid all of that. …Actually, is it even worth attending another school? If I’m only battling Malign Spirits, I could just quit altogether.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“N-no, you can’t do that!! It has to be everyone!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Um, what?” reflexively replied Tsumugi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maybe she shouldn’t have responded at all. If her intention was to fully part ways here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I decided to risk my life to return Chatty’s life to normal! All of it!! After coming this far, I’m not accepting almost perfect. And that’s what it’ll be without you there!! I’m good at keeping secrets and there’s no problem if I don’t tell anyone!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She could say this after everything she had seen?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I am the survivor of a shrine burned down, killing everyone inside, I run a strange online shrine, and I use an oil lighter to battle Malign Spirits as an online shrine maiden.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So what? &#039;&#039;Sounds like an ordinary high school girl to me&#039;&#039;.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The gyaru sister frowned, but she made her retort. Without a moment’s hesitation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maybe this was a type of talent. Probably a type you couldn’t get through hard work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Well, maybe I can stay with the status quo for a while longer.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No transferring schools, okay? Transfer bad! And don’t underestimate the information network of a gyaru who knows the birthdays of everyone in class. If you disappear one day, I won’t rest until I’ve tracked you down! Grr, grr!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yes, yes.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The three of them left Mincemeat Drawbridge and began walking back to the shopping district.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Now that I’ve calmed down, the exhaustion is hitting me… Ugh, my life points are down to 0. I’ll be taking my sister home, but what about you, Mugikko?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What do you mean? We have class tomorrow, so I’ll be taking a shower and going to bed like normal.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Looking weirdly delighted, the gyaru sister slapped her on the back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It kind of hurt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hwa ha ha! I know you’re worn out, but don’t forget we were assigned math homework, Miss Shrine Maiden!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Why do you sound so happy? The same disaster is going to hit you too.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…Hey, Mugikko? We’re friends, right? Then let’s link up on social media. Right this instant!!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You had better not send me questions about the homework all night long.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rainy really made Tsumugi friend her. At least that proved the effects of the Groan were gone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When no one was looking, Tsumugi gave in to the urge to yawn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From here, her &#039;&#039;nap room&#039;&#039; was closer than her home. After saying goodbye to the sisters, the shrine maiden walked to a row of multi-tenant buildings while swaying unsteadily from exhaustion and drowsiness. She gave one of the buildings a puzzled look.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Light was coming from the windows displaying the name Hisame Detective Agency.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, you’re back. You should have just spent the night in Tokyo.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Taking the linear, 500km is only an hour’s trip. Besides, I was worried about you.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Eh?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I had a feeling you would try something on your own if I wasn’t around. And that feeling was right.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…Is that so?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tsumugi tossed the &#039;&#039;borrowed&#039;&#039; oil lighter to the blond young man in a suit, the owner of the detective agency, and then walked to the nap room in the back of the office.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That room was effectively her private room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Only she had a key to the door and it was full of her personal possessions. She used a futon at home, so she had a bed here just for a change of pace.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once she collapsed into bed, she would be out like a light, so she had to take care of some things first.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the lockable room, she pulled out a further key and unlocked the desk drawer. From there, she pulled a simple remote with a single button and aimed it toward the window.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The electric curtain slowly closed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The inside of the curtain was covered with handwritten notes, photos, newspaper clippings, and more. The connections between them were visualized with colorful masking tape.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Burning of the Kagebarai Tanebi Shrine&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of course, it was all tentative. She didn’t have all the pieces and, despite drawing out the diagram herself, she wasn’t certain she was even approaching an accurate view.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Forbidden Hands. The Ghastly Crusher.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Both notes had a large X drawn over them with black permanent marker, but she was uncertain where to place them. Eventually, the online shrine maiden withdrew them to the very edge of the electric curtain. And she attached another note next to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::Unusual Appearances&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Sea City was was a group of megafloats located more than 500km south of Tokyo which acted as a testing ground for new technologies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But she had a feeling that wasn’t all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was something more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The online shrine maiden prepared another two notes. She jotted down a name on each in permanent marker: the gyaru older sister Betsuzaki Rainy and the straitlaced-seeming younger sister Betsuzaki Yuhi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Battle assistance? Requires attention? She wasn’t sure what category to place them under. &#039;&#039;I just see them as another tool?&#039;&#039; she thought in self-deprecation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“An ordinary high school girl, hm?”&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Prologue: The Forbidden Hands @ The Apartment of Many Deaths==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was the kind of evening that foretold a sweltering night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Weather on the many megafloats of New Sea City remains clear tonight. The temperature is 30 degrees and the humidity is 49%. We do have an ocean wave advisory, so if you are sensitive to rocking, we recommend taking a sleeping pill tonighglkfayrewrkh…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In an age when everyone’s eyes were down on their phones, no one was even reading the text scrolling along the full-color LED screen when it suddenly began displaying nonsense and went dark.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No one at all saw it. Which was why the small boy curled up with his back against the metal door to his own apartment failed to notice the slight change.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s true…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He likely wasn’t talking to anyone in particular.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His voice was hoarse. The scratchiness of his throat was enough to easily imagine the expression on his face as he pressed it into his knees.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“A bunch of see-through hands appeared out of nowhere and dragged my mom behind the water heater.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;“Liar!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::::&#039;&#039;“You’re stupid.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::&#039;&#039;“Even the police have stopped listening to him.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;“There’s no such thing as ghosts.” “Did you hear?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;“A ghost? lol.” “In this brand-new city?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The voices pierced through him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though no one was around anymore. Even though they had all had their say, laughed, and left. So many voices still rang deep inside his ears. Not one of those voices spoke up in defense of the boy. None of them took his side and none of them believed him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;“I heard his mommy left him.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;“Can’t blame her when she has to live with a liar.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;“Liar, liar, pants on fire!! Can you believe it!? They’re just burning away!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Still curled up, the boy clenched his fists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maybe it was his fault.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It really should have been him. He was only here because his mother had noticed the oddity in front of the entranceway and pushed her son out of the way. And so someone else was dragged away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So this was what he deserved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All of those hands had emerged from below the thin water heater like a sticky liquid dripping down the wall. If that ghost captured its intended target, maybe it would release his mother without harming her…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Don’t worry.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He heard a voice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He realized someone was standing in front of him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was an older girl in a red and white shrine maiden outfit whose very long black hair was tied back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maybe she wasn’t human.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because before the boy could look up and say something, she was already responding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What you saw was undoubtedly a &#039;&#039;real&#039;&#039; Malign Spirit, but you don’t need to do that. This Malign Spirit starves its victims, so there is plenty of time left. I promise you – I will not let anyone die.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even so, his tear ducts relaxed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tears spilled out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Euh, oh.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Someone believed him. A voice took his side and defended him. So the boy did not ask who this person was or why she was here. The greatest feeling filling his heart was squeezed out as is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Bring my mom back. Ugh, ahh, from those see-through hands!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yes, of course. Leave it to me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A quiet metallic “kashink” followed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The shrine maiden was toying with a well-worn oil lighter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had opened the cover.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The boy didn’t know what that meant or how she would use it, but the black-haired girl replied with conviction. And not a moment’s hesitation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“&#039;&#039;I will settle this before it’s too late.&#039;&#039;”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To make a long story short.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The shrine maiden kept her promise.&lt;br /&gt;

==Story Synopsis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the distant future, Earth has been devastated and its inhabitants seek a new home in the heavens. However, constant warfare forces humans to return to Earth, which has turned into an uninhabitable planet except for a certain area called the Divine States.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Divine States are too small to accommodate all the humans, so they duplicated the area and created the Harmonic Divine States. In order to retrace their steps and rediscover their journey to the heavens, the returned humans began to reproduce history from the year 10,000 BC, using a mysterious history book called Testament.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
History reproduction proceeds smoothly until A.D. 1413, when a war broke out in the Divine States. This causes the Harmonic Divine States to crash onto the original world. The humans living in the Harmonic Divine States lose their land and invade the original world. The people of the Divine States surrender and they are divided by the invaders from the Harmonic Divine States. They try to resume the reproduction of history from A.D.1457, but the update of history terminates in A.D.1648. A rumor of apocalypse begins to spread around the world.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Chapter 25: Children of the Battlefield==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Horizon10B_p0018-0019.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Horizon10B_p0020-0021.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;We were born of a mistake&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;We seek what is correct&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Point Allocation (Family Matter)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You were extracted from the future’s destiny?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Masazumi simply asked her question without even noticing the continual booming of artillery or the shaking of the ships as they broke through walls of air.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What do you mean?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s simple. The principle is, anyway.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the Azuchi’s 90-degree tilted hall, Katagiri stood on what was usually the starboard wall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The chairs that people had brought here and thus weren’t bolted to the floor were lying on that same wall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He righted one of those, sat in it, and took a breath.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He had a few lernen figurs open. The one on the left displayed his divine transmission with Musashi and the one of the right displayed the divine chat with the others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;They’ve left me in charge of a terribly important moment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was about to explain something they had kept to themselves for so long.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But you could say that was what they had come here to do.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This kind of thing should have been a job for Takenaka since she was so good at making statements. But she seemed to want to act as his assistant here. Currently, she was seated &#039;&#039;on the wall&#039;&#039; with her legs dangling down into the corridor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Listen, Katagiri-kun,” she had said earlier. “This isn’t my job or the others’ job. It’s your job.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I-is it really that important that I do it?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Testament,” she had said, her eyebrows a bit raised. “Listen carefully. The others are fighting. And I have to put together the rest of our strategy. We’re all busy. You get what I’m hinting at here, don’t you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Th-that I’m only doing this because I’m the only one available!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That is about 80% of it, but what’s wrong with that?” Takenaka had nodded. “Lately, the representatives of an academy of poor performers somehow managed to make their way all the way to the mid boss or big boss only to discover they did it all based on false assumptions and had to have that explained to them by the target of that assumption.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yeah, that was pretty awkward… And I wasn’t even part of it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I know what you mean. But we too need to present our own righteousness or justification. However, while we do each have our own individual ones, we have to speak as a group first. That is best handled by you rather than those whose responses tend to lead directly to combat.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had smiled a little.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That last part rules me out. It would turn into a battle for me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…Testament.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He had nodded and accepted the job, which led to the present.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;The principle of extraction of destiny of the future, huh?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He felt like he was using “of” too much, but he figured he was just nervous.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That aside, the extraction was simple in principle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You only have to access the ley lines and analyze them. And…if possible, it helps if the people in the future are working toward the same thing.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asama quickly searched the Shinto database. She delved as deep as her privileges allowed to see if there were any spells for accessing the ley lines like that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Nothing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of course there wasn’t anything.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Asama, I have a question. What happens if you access the ley lines of the future?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I can only speculate, but I think you would be able to read the future.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ley lines were the source of all things. The way they contained even time was what allowed them to be identical to destiny.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But that made them, as a whole, disorganized.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Extracting a specific part of the future would be like searching through the ocean to find the water that flowed from the Far East’s rivers.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Was a spell like that even possible? Her search hadn’t turned up anything. But there could always be an unofficial one at a higher level than her own. But speculation like that would lead nowhere. So…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Heh heh. Asama, whether or not it’s possible, would the method work in theory?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It would.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It would work exactly as Katagiri Katsumoto had described.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You would only have to find the current in the ley lines that handles the future timeline and access it,” she said. “But no one can analyze it. Or rather, it would overwhelm your ability to analyze it. …Even if the method was right there in front of you, you wouldn’t know where to start with the vastness of the ley lines.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Then,” said Horizon. “Would it have been possible for the Emperor?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Oh!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asama gasped at Horizon’s idea.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;The Emperor!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Only around half a day ago, they had screwed up and the city of Kyou went “boom!”, but…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You’re right.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She understood how it could be done now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The ley lines – no, destiny was given a personality.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was true the Emperor could access the ley lines. Because she had existed to calm destiny’s personality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Technically, it was the Environmental Gods working through the Emperor.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Right. That changed things. That provided a hook to access the vast amounts of information.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But the Emperor couldn’t leave Kyou and that underground space was sealed off by the automata. Akechi Mitsuhide could apparently get in and out, but Asama doubted a facility for extracting things from the ley lines existed there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But if the facility wasn’t located there, where was it? And just as she was wondering that, Katagiri continued his explanation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“There is a way to access destiny without using the Emperor. By analyzing that method and scanning destiny’s movements, it becomes clear that destiny is affected by time and ‘advances through time’ within the ley lines. From there, you only had to anticipate and continue on ahead. But…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After listening that far, there was one thing Asama didn’t understand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I have a question,” she said, joining the divine transmission. “Even if you could access destiny, you would only find a massive amount of data inside. How can you extract future individuals from there? And where is the facility for it located?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Accessing destiny through the Environmental Gods was a technique linking back to the Age of the Gods. But extracting things from there was an even more challenging problem.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But Katagiri continued as follows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I will start with your question about extraction. There is a restriction there.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Are you familiar with Avalon?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yes. Say it. Tell them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Toshiie spoke his words up into the southern night sky. He took Matsu’s hand where she was perched on his shoulder while they considered taking a transport ship back to HQ or Lake Biwa Azuchi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When he looked her way, Matsu’s shoulders were shaking a bit with laughter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What’s so funny, Ma-chan?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Just remembering what happened before.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What exactly?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Matsu turned her narrowed eyes his way with tears in them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“When we met Musashi in England and your negotiations broke down, you worked hard to agitate them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That was a warning. Just a warning.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“They knew nothing of Avalon and, even after going there, they only used it to comprehend their immediate situation. But that isn’t the whole truth, is it? And without that knowledge, all they have been doing is fly around and around the Far East. …So tell them, Ten Spears.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As if responding to Toshiie, Katagiri continued.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The world will thin out and be destroyed. But what if there was a shelter that could just barely remain safe as that happened? What would it be? And where would it be?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mary asked a question while working with Tenzou to fend off Kiyomasa’s attacks. Both sides were illuminated by the sparks of Excalibur and Caledfwlch clashing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Are you saying Avalon was created as a shelter against the Apocalypse!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We were sent in there to survive!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kiyomasa sent over a slash with great force behind it. Courtesy of her mobile shell’s acceleration. Mary could tell Kiyomasa’s sword technique was the same orthodox type as her own, but that acceleration let her attack more frequently and Mary had trouble keeping up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And just as she felt she couldn’t block all of Kiyomasa’s attacks…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Why!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With a metallic clang, a dark figure cut in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Master Tenzou!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He only nodded at her call. But that attack and the force pushing in from it were supported by the mobile shell. Even Tenzou had his hands full stopping it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Uqui:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Hey, Tenzou. I can see you and you need to be able to hold off an attack like that. Because I’m on break.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;10ZO:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Th-that might have been motivating if not for that last part!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Masazumi considered a possibility she couldn’t quite accept as truth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Extracting future people from the future’s destiny.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The idea was simple, but actually pulling it off would be exceedingly difficult. However, they knew someone who had set out to do that and done it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Lord Motonobu?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;No,&#039;&#039; she decided. Lord Motonobu’s plan had been more about directly interfering with and controlling destiny.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;That’s right.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What could you understand and accomplish by extracting people from the future?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The greatest benefit would be knowing what situations and events led to the future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It would even tell you whether or not Lord Motonobu’s planned direct interference and control of destiny had worked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But this wasn’t so direct.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lord Motonobu may have considered it, but nothing like this had been evident in his past actions. And the ability to predict the future would only have served to assist him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;In that case…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Novice:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Matsudaira Nobuyasu!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “You think so too?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Judge,” replied Neshinbara as his work dragged on in the belowdecks dumping ground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Novice:&#039;&#039;&#039; “He was performing similar work to Lord Motonobu, but it was unknown what exactly he was doing! But he was ultimately consumed by the Double Border Crest, so he must have been doing something related to destiny!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They had indeed seen that. She remembered what they had seen in the Sanada ruins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Novice:&#039;&#039;&#039; “When we went where the former Shimabara Rebellion technicians had been, we discovered a single central extractor surrounded by a ring of eight extractors! Matsudaira Nobuyasu was doing something there!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Isn’t that a bit of a leap?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Novice:&#039;&#039;&#039; “I’m sure you’re thinking the same thing, so isn’t it a bit of a leap for you too?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “No, I’m thinking realistically. You need to think about this more seriously.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Okay, then,” said Neshinbara before continuing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Novice:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Those eight extractors were where the eight members of the Ten Spears were extracted from the future. …Destiny discovered this and erased Matsudaira Nobuyasu with the Double Border Crest!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“”Correct,” quietly confirmed Katagiri. “We still hadn’t stabilized, so to keep us safe we were sent to P.A. Oda since it was nearby and had a connection to Matsudaira Motonobu. We did not wake for a while afterwards.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some had stabilized quickly and others had taken more time. They had appeared generally safe by around eight years ago, so Hashiba, who had been designed as Nobunaga’s aide, had her OS altered so she could also act as their superior. But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Why!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Musashi’s 1st Special Duty Officer raised a question while dueling Kiyomasa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Why are you only saying this now!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It is a simple matter.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mitotsudaira sensed something odd about her battle with Kasuya.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had also sensed something weirdly off when they fought during the Kantou Liberation. But now that she knew her identity, the oddity she had sensed had become solid fact.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;This opponent…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If you were extracted from the future, why didn’t you say so sooner!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her question was first answered by silver claws. A second and third strike immediately followed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You know what happened to Lord Nobuyasu, don’t you!? Because we passed through the ley lines, you could say we are a branch of destiny. So if we say any of this out loud…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With those words from Kasuya, Mitotsudaira saw a light.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A red light. It drew out lines. First a circle and then a line running through the center to form…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;The Double Border Crest!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Watch out!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even in the midst of battle, Mitotsudaira instinctually gave a shouted warning about the mysterious phenomenon manifesting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her words must have told Kasuya about the Double Border Crest behind her because…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“––––”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She smiled a little but then launched an attack at Mitotsudaira.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mitotsudaira couldn’t stop the Argent Clou attack, so instead of aiming for the claws made of ether, she deflected the cross mechanism and evaded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A moment later, she saw red spray.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Double Border Crest was scattering partway through being drawn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had previously seen the Crest vanish before it was fully established, but this was different.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;It’s being erased!?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes. It was clearly being shattered and scattering away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As if to confirm that fact, Kasuya changed her stance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Testament, we are especially closely watched by destiny, so whenever we try to speak about the future, we and whoever is listening are detected and erased. If we were to carelessly reveal what we know, everyone who heard it would be erased.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, Katagiri’s divine transmission continued from there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But the Double Border Crest will no longer appear. Because Nobunaga-sama has linked herself to destiny and can control it with her OS. And we can no longer see that moon from here. Today, we can finally explain everything.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Then,” asked Tenzou.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He honestly couldn’t quite grasp what was going on. He couldn’t confirm what they were saying and it was possible they merely thought it to be true.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He and the rest would have to scrutinize the logic behind it later.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But aside from that, there was something he wanted to ask them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Why? Why us!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;That is my question!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He could tell one thing based on the method they had explained.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;That technique using ether and ley lines is honestly more of a thing for Asama-dono and other experts!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But there was a different way of determining the truth of this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Politics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You say the world was thinning and Avalon was used as a shelter to allow some survivors! But in that case,” he asked. “How was that political decision made!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You don’t know?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kiyomasa reacted by taking a fighting stance, her mobile shell’s power system making noise.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Oh, that’s the sound of the latest M.H.R.R. power system, isn’t it!?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That high-performance model was designed for making charges. The general thinking within Musashi’s 1st Special Duty Team was to run away and wait for the situation to change if you heard that sound. But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;She has four!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Uqui:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Hey, Tenzou. I can see this…and it’s not looking good for you.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;10ZO:&#039;&#039;&#039; “D-don’t give up so quickly!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But a moment later, Kiyomasa stabbed Caledfwlch into the floor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Eh?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He realized she had stopped moving and had lowered her head toward him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What did this mean? They were currently in battle and she had been attacking and pursuing him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;What is the meaning of this?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was still puzzled, so he did not lower his guard. And…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Master Tenzou!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mary ran up next to him. She took his arm, checked to see if he was injured, and then looked to Kiyomasa, wondering why she had stopped.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Both of them looked to the figure in a white mobile shell, but she did not look them in the eye. Still, they could tell she had to be able to see both him and Mary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You asked why,” said Kiyomasa, raising her head. Something glittering spilled from her twin blue eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tears.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her brow was wrinkled and her lips pursed in an expression of protest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then she spoke with her powerful but tear-wavering eyes directed at them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Because we were your children.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Eh?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mary squeezed Tenzou’s arm in her right hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She honestly felt sorry for tearful Kiyomasa. But there was something she had to know before she could sympathize with her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had a question. So…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Um, Kiyomasa? I have a quick question.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Testament. What is it?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She took a deep breath and asked it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Well, when you introduced yourselves earlier, you said you were, and I quote, ‘your children’, correct?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Testament. That is correct. What about it?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mary nodded and realized she was leaning forward a little.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;I-I am a little nervous.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was a crucially important question, so she had to find out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I know this is likely extremely rude, but I interpreted that ‘your’ to broadly refer to Musashi or the Far East as a whole. But perhaps I was mistaken.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“When you said ‘your’, did you mean it in a more personal and individual way?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Worshiper:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Oh, I can explain the confusion here while I clean up my stand. The English second person pronoun ‘you’ is used for both the singular and the plural.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Gold Mar:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Oh, that’s right. A lot of us are from other countries, but we can forget these things after living in Musashi and speaking Far Eastern for so long.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “ ‘You’ is an un-you-sually you-seful word, isn’t it?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Horizey:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Okay, everyone! Masazumi-sama is about to get funny! Wait for it! Any day now!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tenzou saw Kiyomasa tilt her head with a troubled “ohh…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He had a feeling he knew where this was going. He sensed a great threat to his own person, but Mary’s left arm lock was firm and he just had to accept his fate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Apparently that fate is coming to me from the future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, Kiyomasa wiped some tears away with her right index finger. And…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Of the eight members of the Ten Spears we mentioned, seven of them are your children. That is, the children of seven of the primary members of the current Musashi forces.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Then what about you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mary’s arm tensed even more and Tenzou placed his hand on hers in response.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then Kiyomasa answered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My mother is Double Bloody Mary. My father is…that boy. I have a double inherited name: Katou Kiyomasa and…your child James I.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asama saw an explosion of light at Oume’s stern.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Mary is certainly, uh, excited…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Asama:&#039;&#039;&#039; “So if we were to name that, would it be the Master Tenzou Love Love Explosion?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Me:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Did that have anything to do with Tenzou, though?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Horizey:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Then it would be the Master Tenzou Love is Unrelated Explosion.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;10ZO:&#039;&#039;&#039; “That just sounds like some dangerous attack! And it’s still indirectly about me!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Oh, so he’s made up his mind,&#039;&#039; realized Asama. She decided to contact her father.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Asama:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Dad? About Tenzou-kun and Mary. Tenzou-kun just announced his intention to say ‘yes’.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Asama Dad:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Really!? Will you let him know we can even hold the ceremony later today!? I always thought he was the wishy-washy type, but apparently your environment really can change you!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Did the arrival of your own child from the future count as “your environment”? And that it took &#039;&#039;that&#039;&#039; to get him to make up his mind was such a Tenzou thing. However…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Heh heh. Asama? There’s a sign frame next to you talking about an external divine transmission.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Huh? I don’t remember allowing an external one.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a really powerful signal. They must have forcibly accessed the system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After checking the sender, she nodded. She couldn’t handle someone like that. So…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Asama:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Um, Masazumi? This conversation must have leaked out because we’re so close to Europe.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Understood. Sending it their way would only complicate matters, so send it my way.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Masazumi accepted the divine transmission with some good guesses who it was from and what it was about.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “I’m hanging up.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Queen:&#039;&#039;&#039; “It’s no use, Musashi Vice President!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It wasn’t clear what was no use, but she appreciated the boldness of it. And with a thought of “so it’s you, huh?”…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President “We’re busy right now, so keep it short.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Queen: “It’s about that ninja!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Oh, that ninja? Right, right. What about him?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Queen:&#039;&#039;&#039; “What is this about him having a child and announcing his intentions!? This is the first I’ve heard of that!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Is it? It is for me too.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Queen:&#039;&#039;&#039; “That’s fine then! Wait, no, it is not fine! I gave my approval for my sister and that ninja to have the next English king, but I never gave my approval for the two of them to have a child!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now that was a tricky one to reply to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Hmm. It’s still possible this is a big misunderstanding.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Queen:&#039;&#039;&#039; “And what if it isn’t!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;That’s the question, isn’t it?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President: &amp;lt;Urgent Poll: Should we hand Crossunite over to England?&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Musashi:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Masazumi-sama, 90% of the male Musashi residents have responded in the affirmative. Over.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039;  “Then my hands are tied.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;10ZO:&#039;&#039;&#039; “D-don’t give up so quickly! What happened to respecting people’s personal dignity and freedom!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Smoking Girl:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Don’t ninjas have to give up those things?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;What should we do?&#039;&#039; wondered Masazumi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Well, it is surprising to find out someone you know has a secret child.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She decided to say what had to be said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Fairy Queen, the individuals involved are currently having a (physical) family meeting, so can this wait until after that is complete?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Queen:&#039;&#039;&#039; “They are!? What is my sister doing!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She checked. And a message arrived before she could.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Flat Vassal:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Whoa! What kind of flirting is the 1st Special Duty Officer doing at Oume’s stern to create that mountain of flowers!? I’ll guide the Bando Beam that way to blow it away!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Judge,” agreed Masazumi before speaking to the Fairy Queen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Vice President:&#039;&#039;&#039; “At the moment, a beam is being fired at the ninja.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Queen:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Get him! Nice! I’m rooting for the enemy now!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;What kind of thing is that to say?&#039;&#039; she wondered just before the transmission ended. The Fairy Queen had her Student Council, so someone there was likely getting after her. And Masazumi had her own issues to focus on. But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So who is whose child?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Horizon nodded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When she raised her right hand, Asama noticed. So she pointed toward the Azuchi, which seemed to get her point across. Asama sent her over a divine transmission sign frame.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You can use that to speak with their Katagiri What’s-His-Name.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Is it a direct connection?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yes, I forced it into their divine transmission using the interference from Musashi’s barrier. This will count as cross talk, but it should work.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some incredible tech was probably at play here, but as the landlord, Horizon intended to accept her tenant’s help. Asama also gave a nod of “go ahead”, so Horizon spoke over the divine transmission.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Horizey:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Katagiri What’s-His-Name-sama, this is Musashi Vicereine Horizon. May I speak with you? Do understand that no is not an acceptable response.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;The Boy:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Eh? Huh? Um, wait, what? Huhh!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Horizon exchanged a look with Kimi at his response.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Kimi-sama, he appears flustered. Thanks to Asama-sama’s Shinto nerd power, I assume.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Heh heh heh. That’s right, Horizon. We have the upper hand now! So whatever it is you want to say, just lay it out for him!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She decided to ask her question as calmly as she could.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Horizey:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Do Toori-sama and I have a child there?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kasuya saw her opponent suddenly stiffen in the middle of their battle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Wh-what!?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It looked like she had lost her balance and tripped, but she hadn’t actually fallen over. She was probably rattled by the Musashi Vicereine’s transmission.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As if to confirm that, she glanced toward the bow of the Musashi’s second central ship and raised her voice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Y-you’re being too direct, Horizon! Which I really should have expected!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Oh, I see. Testament,&#039;&#039; thought Kasuya with a nod.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To match her opponent’s odd action, she too strayed from her combat actions. She took a single step back and…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Your Vicereine and Chancellor’s child?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Is there one?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kasuya noticed the lack of hesitation in that question. How strong were the bonds between these people?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;They believe their dreams will come true.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just as she thought that, the answer arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Katagiri responded on the divine transmission.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;The Boy:&#039;&#039;&#039; “There was one with us. …Not among the Ten Spears, though.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asama saw Horizon and him strike triumphant poses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Having a child doesn’t make you better or anything, but this still feels like a win and it makes us a part of this whole deal!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Right!? It’s not like it’s a competition, but I still feel like we definitely beat Tenzou here!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;10ZO:&#039;&#039;&#039; “This isn’t a competition.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That said, it was a joyous thing for the Asama Shrine since they handled childbirths.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And Horizon had to have a lot more to think about now that she had confirmation from the future that she could have a child and pass something down to the next generation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asama knew it was a good thing. And personally…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;I’m glad.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Horizon had guided them and pushed them onward, so she was happy to learn she had this possibility. Horizon was in a tricky position, so it was honestly wonderful that she could hope for anything she wanted. And this was Asama’s area of expertise, so she was happy to learn she could assist Horizon there somewhere down the road.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was glad.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With a nod, she saw him using both arms to try and lift Horizon in her triumphant pose.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Nwahh!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What’s this, Toori-sama? Is failing to lift your bride one of the classic jokes?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asama had no choice but to attach a strength boosting charm to his back. With that, he had no trouble lifting her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yes! Thanks, Asama! So do you see now, Horizon!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“See what?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Remember what I said in England? You can hope for so much! And I was right!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That is what the Main Blue Thunder situation is for, Toori-sama. And the same goes for you. …You too may hope for much.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We should continue forward under the assumption that, if we stick together, we can accomplish anything and acquire anything.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asama sighed inwardly at Horizon’s words.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;She’s come a long way if she can say that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No one seeing her now would think she had accepted her own death back at Mikawa. Yes, and they wouldn’t think she would make so many weird noises, make so many jokes, and turn her own arms into mascots. Probably for the best if they didn’t think that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyway, they likely needed to thank the enemy for this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With Hashiba and the Ten Spears, they had been fighting over the Genesis Project, but…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I feel like this lets us confirm what matters most.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Horizon and his child was not here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But their child had been with those others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Knowing that was enough for now. But now was a time for duels and their opponents claimed to be their children.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And they proved their righteousness by the fact they had come from a doomed future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So out of pure curiosity, Asama asked the same question Masazumi had earlier.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So who is whose child?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asama’s question led Mitotsudaira to look to her opponent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kasuya Takenori.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was a Loup-Garou, but unlike Mitotsudaira, her hair was black. That said…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;A Loup-Garou gets her “color” from the thoughts of the people and the condition of the Loup-Garou species in her time…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Mitotsudaira’s mother’s time, the species had been nearing its end, so her color was that of the setting moon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mitotsudaira herself had been born as that mother’s daughter, so her color was that of the moon at its peak.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But Kasuya’s color was black. Mitotsudaira’s mother had said she must have been born in a harsh environment, but…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Kasuya Takenori.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mitotsudaira dodged an attack and tried asking. But she was somehow reluctant to ask directly, so…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Are you my mother’s grandchild?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Wise Sister:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Heh heh heh! Why are you still not giving in!? Just accept her already and bring her home with you! C’mon, I mean right now! Hurryyyyy!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Asama:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Right, Kimi? Mito, you don’t have to be so evasive in your questioning.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Silver Wolf:&#039;&#039;&#039; “I knew you would be like this, but there is still a lot we don’t know!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kasuya sent in another attack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her enemy – known as the Mito Lord, Musashi’s 5th Special Duty Officer, and the Silver Wolf – used her chains to defend.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Silver clashed with silver, scattering sparks. The clang rang loud and everything used its movement to put distance between them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They paused for a breath.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;That’s right.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She told herself now was the time to say it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Testament. My mother is Nate Mitotsudaira. …That is, you.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wow…” sighed Asama at the words coming from the sign frame.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She felt nervous and also shock. But it had all happened so suddenly and without warning, so she wasn’t quite sure how to react.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For now, she spoke over the divine transmission.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Mito, you need to calm down.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Judge, you’re right. I am fine.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was strength in Mitotsudaira’s reply. She likely intended to process this after she dealt with the more immediate situation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was a special duty officer, after all. She saw herself as his knight, so she knew what really mattered. So Asama too set aside any personal feelings and…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Understood. …Then, Mito, I will ask my dad to add her as your dependent. We can arrange everything with the authorities, so any related taxes should be relatively low.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I never agreed to do that!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The wolf’s response was followed by another voice over the divine transmission.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Is that the Asama Shrine Representative?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was an unfamiliar yet somehow recognizable voice. Could it be Kasuya Takenori? Asama wasn’t sure, but did this mean she was contacting her?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;I don’t know what this is about, but I might as well hear what she has to say.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What is it? Do you have business with the Asama Shrine?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Testament. Have you still not noticed?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Huh?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a “yeah” of slight disappointment, Kasuya continued.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hirano, c’mon.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hirano was watching her mother from the divine transmission revelation tower protruding from the roof of the 90-degree rotated Azuchi’s bridge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;She’s the same now as she was in the future,&#039;&#039; she thought. She hadn’t seen her mother for a very long time, but she was wrapped in that same air of happiness as always.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had expected her mother to have somehow given up, but she could tell now that wasn’t the case.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Because…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had been someone who could always accept her condition because of the happy times she had had in the past.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And this here was probably close to what had formed the foundation of the mother she had known.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Asama Shrine Representative.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No, she had never called her that in the future. So she called her what she always had.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Mom. Look this way.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Gold Mar:&#039;&#039;&#039; “H-hey, we’re busy fighting up here, but we were just hit by maybe the most powerful blow this year.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Unturning:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Judge. I was wondering what was about to happen here.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Art-Ga:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Oh, not often people start an Asama thread about something other than her swimsuits. It’s titled ‘A New Genre for the Asama Shrine Representative?’ ”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tsurugi:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Ah, I let that slip out… But to her, that was a stranger calling her ‘mom’.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Black Wolf:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Sure, but we know who she is, so it seems fine to me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;AnG:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Mom!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Tsurugi:&#039;&#039;&#039; “Okay, that pissed me off! Do you want me to shoot you!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asama felt an odd sweat cover her entire body in a flash.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;What!?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She tried to say “wait”, but the word wouldn’t come out. What was going on here?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What? W-w-wait, wai- huhh!? Hweh!? What? What did you say?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She looked around hoping to find something that would help her understand, but all she saw was Kimi rolling on the floor and laughing too hard to breathe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ah hee hee hee! Heh heh! Mom!? Asama! Heh heh heh! It’s finally happened! You’re a mommy!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What are you talking about?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seeing that lunatic’s reaction helped calm her. And she felt a need to respond.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hirano Nagayasu…-san?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She checked the girl with her Konoha prosthetic eye. The telescope spell she activated showed her the girl. The automatic brightness amplification and color correction let her see…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;A Tsurugi Shrine shrine maiden outfit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was Far Eastern, so it was fairly similar to the Asama Shrine one. The sword motif incorporated into parts of the design likely came from it being a shrine that prayed for victory in battle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hirano Nagayasu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was tall and had a large chest. She was a shrine maiden and used a bow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But Asama didn’t think that was enough to say she was her child. Her own mother fit those conditions too, after all. You could likely find plenty of others like that across the Far East.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was honestly skeptical of the claim at this point. So while it wasn’t very nice if the girl was serious about this, Asama couldn’t respond as her mother yet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;That’s my lid again, isn’t it?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She really would feel bad if that girl was hoping for an emotional family reunion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But her life hadn’t reached that point yet. She would omit the details, but, simply put, Horizon came first. Things were still at that stage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Um…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was curious about one thing that hadn’t been addressed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Let’s say that Mito and I are their mothers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But it took more than just a mother to make a child. So…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Uh…I know this is a weird thing for me to ask, but do you mind?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What is it?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hirano tilted her head, which told Asama she was willing to answer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So she asked her question.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Who is…your father?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hirano immediately answered her mother’s question.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Does she really not know?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No, she knew but she didn’t want to know. She was likely at that stage. In Hirano’s time, her mother had mentioned she had only been able to take that step after fully accepting it. But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Him. Over there.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She knew it was rude, but she pointed at her father. Straight at the boy standing in a prominent position.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
●&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asama followed Hirano’s pointing finger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Huh? W-wait?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was true she had asked, but this would tell her who her (maybe) future self had chosen as a partner.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if it was someone she didn’t like or didn’t know? And…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;No…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if it wasn’t him? She couldn’t bring herself to look where Hirano was pointing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But something did move.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The arms. The left arm grabbed and lifted up the right arm. The right arm’s index finger was approaching her as if sliding in from a position a bit above of head on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was following the path of Hirano’s pointing finger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wah.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was directly showing her what she was hesitant to see. It was too late to avoid it or escape from it. Furthermore…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Huh?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The finger was pointed at the center of her chest. The finger dug into the chest cloth of her shrine maiden outfit and stopped there, which meant…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Um, are you saying I gave birth to her through cell division?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After making that joke, she looked behind her. And…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’d say this is a cause for celebration, wouldn’t you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was standing right behind her and smiling.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The Story So Far:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hello, this is “Azuchi”. The Honnouji Incident was recently completed and we in Hashiba completed Shizugatake, so with some shouting of “Time for the Battle of Yamazaki!” we made our attack and, well, Musashi turned tail and ran. We were forced into an unprecedented warship chase. We pursued and they retaliated with cult rituals, leading to an unclear resolution, but we will not allow them to escape. We have currently rotated 90 degrees to fly on our side, and we were nearly at Osaka Bay when the Ten Spears began to insist they are their enemy’s secret children. Now, will Musashi take responsibility? Shaja!&lt;br /&gt;

Kawakami Minoru:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born on January 3, 1975. From Tokyo. With writing event scenarios for the smartphone game OO-FORMATION the King and His Eight Companions, writing the main story, and more, expects to be very busy around New Year’s yet again. Hopes to see you again in 2018!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Satoyasu:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Born in Yamagata and raised in Tochigi. “I recently realized I don’t enjoy eating cilantro all that much.” That isn’t exactly a main dish anyway, is it?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Malga Naruze &amp;amp; Margot Naito&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The two of them were based on the Naruse and Naitou surnames and, while it isn’t really specified in the story, I personally imagine Naruse as being Naruse Masanari who led their gunner squad at the age of 17 and, because Urquiaga is Naitou Kiyonari who Shinjuku’s Naito Shinjuku was named after, I imagine Naitou as being Naitou Masanari who was counted among the Sixteen Divine Tokugawa Generals as a veteran archer. So it was me going “Nice! Double Masanari!” that led me to give them similar names.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Their names both start with “ma” as a reference to Masanari. Yes, the names that led to the confusing white and black or gold and black coloration actually had a good reason behind it. …Well, maybe not that good a reason.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the Naitou clan stationed their gunner squad in Shinjuku, the Naruse gunner squad was also stationed there, so I wondered if the two clans had any kind of interaction and maybe those were the two strongest gunner squads defending the Shinjuku region.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Their design concept was white and black witches. Making them witches and giving them wings seems like overdoing it, but I thought it was worth it because the wings help establish the setting. Bearing six wings comes with a lot of pressure in my series, but they can bounce back from that with their combination and the intensity of their personalities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Their hats and ribbons are meant to indicate their jobs, but those accents may be why they’re so popular with the female readers.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;“How much did the higher ups know?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What are you talking about?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yes, yes. I know it can be difficult to maintain that look that says everything went according to plan…but this one was a little much, wasn’t it?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Information Broker Norsitro Chatellenie was an expert at monetizing threats and a villain with no interest in distributing technology. But that was just happenstance, wasn’t it? If an expert at distribution had known of that vulnerability, Academy City would have collapsed. So isn’t it odd to insist you knew about this but ignored it?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I do wonder sometimes if you higher ups are giving any of this any thought at all.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No, no. Your monopoly on the city’s tech remains intact and the world is at peace, so you can of course always say Norsitro’s hesitation was part of your plan.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then just go with that. It is the truth, after all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But I can’t help but wonder if you higher ups don’t have anything going on upstairs.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“And if that’s true, then who is it that’s &#039;&#039;really&#039;&#039; maintaining the world’s power balance?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I forgot to mention it, but this is the end of the road for you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was all rather unexpected. Yes, I do apologize for not having anything going on upstairs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…Also, #6, this one is on you. If you hadn’t interfered, &#039;&#039;this&#039;&#039; never would have happened.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hm??? What in the world are you talking about, Board Chair- gah!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was like a switch being thrown.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was that sort of instant death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Life was over for the person whose head was split open by a blunt object from behind and they likely had no idea what had even happened.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It happened late at night on the top floor of a skyscraper among the high-end offices of District 3.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A woman’s head lay on a luxurious desk with red pooled around it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Someone stood directly behind her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stained red by blood and shoulders heaving with her heavy breaths was &#039;&#039;Hanano Choubi&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had just reclaimed her position as the Voice on the Phone by killing the woman who had stolen the seat from her while she was away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The murder weapon was a metal bat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Academy City’s dark side was an insane world filled with all sorts of deadly tools – yes, including mini-nukes made from a super heavy element – but this particular tool was exceptionally common even there. Hanano Choubi gripped the blunt weapon again as if confirming the sensation in her hands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I am! The Voice on the Phone!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A dull sound followed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To reiterate, the woman had been killed instantly. So the twitching of the limbs with each new blow to the crushed head had nothing at all to do with life activity. The human body was operated by the brain, so a powerful stimulus there could control the body externally. This was a far too obvious example.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hanano knew the target was already dead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And that the true target of her hatred was not the woman who had been ordered to take this seat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But that wasn’t enough to quell her anger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Me! Me!! Only me!!! …I won’t let anyone else have it. Only Hanano Choubi can hold this position. As long as that weight keeps me a part of this world, then I can continue to cling to my position as a confirmed survivor &#039;&#039;from here on&#039;&#039; as well!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hanano Choubi shouted to someone who was not present.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Someone she suspected to be listening in somehow or other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So you could call this a form of harassment directed at that monster who loathed killing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Goddamn you, #6!! I’ll show you… I will get back at you for making a fool of me. You call yourself the Dark Side’s Bane? Well, I’ll show you just how bad an idea it is to make an enemy of me. &#039;&#039;It’s always like this with youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu&#039;&#039;!!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Destiny was not fixed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Especially given how crucial observation was in the quantum theory that Academy City specialized in and researched.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, quantum theory itself was not a toy &#039;&#039;just&#039;&#039; for espers.&lt;br /&gt;

If you picked them up one at a time, welcome back. If you bought them all at once, welcome.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is Kamachi Kazuma.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the kanji in the “Item” part of the title reading “girls’ coexistence”, one of the major themes of the series has been the girls’ bonds with their teammates and you could say the threat of betrayal acts as the other side of that coin, but this one explored the idea of betrayal in a different way from Frenda in Volume 4. I tried not to make it seem too nasty, but what did you think? On the other hand, when several people gather and live together, wouldn’t it seem twisted in its own way if they didn’t have any complaints or secrets at all?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also, a note for all of you confused by the Two Wings last time. The world of weaponry is a confusing mess of different numberings and nicknames, so you can’t take anything at face value. I just hope this helps you imagine what the focus and essence of the Item series is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the way, what to do with Halloween was a little tricky since this series takes place before Index OT1. I ended up deciding it didn’t matter when it caught on in Japan because I was focused on the blonde-haired blue-eyed Seivelun sisters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As for the enemy boss Norsitro Chatellenie, she took that form because I was wondering what the most frightening weapon is as laser weapons, railguns, and such become more and more practical. The tech is a little more retro in this series since it takes places in the past, but this still seemed plenty realistic. Supposedly it could become a next-gen strategic weapon surpassing nukes, but is that really true? The version in the story wasn’t just a swarm. It also allowed weather control attacks by stirring up the air over a wide area to change the air pressure. …By focusing on the idea of small individual powers combining in great number, you could probably find other ways of playing with the swarm concept.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Weaponizing weather and natural disasters is an idea I’ve also used in my other series from time to time. Maybe I see that as a line that humans aren’t meant to cross. …The scary part is that I get the feeling we really could accomplish it if we put our minds to it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I give my thanks to my illustrator Nilitsu-san and to my editors Miki-san, Anan-san, Nakajima-san, and Hamamura-san. For the new outfits, all I can do is apologize! Thank you so much for sticking with me this long.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And I give my thanks to the readers. Who is the most frightening member of Item? After digging down into the other characters, maybe it isn’t Mugino Shizuri anymore? I’m curious about all of your rankings. Thank you so much for reading this far!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is time to close the pages for now while praying that the pages of the next book will be opened.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And I lay my pen down for now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All the trial and error before multi-rotors took over is so weird and fascinating, don’t you think?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Epilogue: Is It Solved?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was an overcast day, dimming the sun a bit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, it wasn’t enough for rain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A certain apartment building in District 7 would have looked like any other if not for the giant military transport helicopter stopped on its flat roof.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The large craft with a coaxial rotor on the front and back was in fact an extremely high-end medical helicopter. Although it might be better to call it a mobile black market hospital.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since it could provide surgery but not carry hospitalized patients, its hospital rooms were distributed among cheap hotels and weekly-rented apartments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata Saiai lay in a room on the seventh floor of this particular apartment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had been moved from the helicopter, which doubled as an operating room and an ICU, to the “general ward”, so her condition must have been improving.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You lost some flesh, but none of your major organs or blood vessels were harmed. …If you did that on purpose, you have talent at faking serious injury. You would make a decent scammer.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“In Academy City where dashcams are super common?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I never said anything about going after cars. These days, people will get insurance for their roller skates and scooters to protect themselves.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Standing by her bed was a picture perfect sexy doctor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was probably a form of self-promotion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was apparently a black market doctor who Mugino Shizuri and the rest of Item relied on…so it was possible she had customized her own face and figure. After all, the miniskirt battle nurses guarding the place with full-auto shotguns were apparently drug soldiers pumped full of military pharmaceuticals.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Once I remove the stitches three days from now, you’ll be good as new. On my pride as a doctor, I promise you it won’t leave a scar. I’m giving you a week’s worth of antibiotics, but every last human being alive starts feeling sick around when the drugs run out. Don’t let it worry you.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Is there super any reason to load me up with antibiotics?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The most basic and most troublesome part of medicine is disinfection and sterilization. Or are you one of those people who doesn’t trust anything a doctor tells you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That depends on the type of doctor. Seems to me a black market doctor would want to threaten her patient with baseless lies to super make as much money as possible.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Probably so,” The sexy doctor smiled a little. “Any other changes?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My body feels warm.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Part of the remedy.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata wasn’t sure what that was supposed to mean.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But apparently there was a reason for it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Now, the lethal limit is generally calculated based on your weight, but it is also influenced by the rate of blood flow. Ultimately, what matters is keeping your blood pressure stable. That’s really what saved you. The shard that pierced your side caught the clothing around it and shoved it inside the wound, which meant you lost less blood than you otherwise would have.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Is that super so?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Do you feel dizzy or have a headache? Giving blood transfusions takes practice. I can’t believe a complete amateur would sloppily fill you with blood right there after only taking a look at the blood type label. And forcing so much blood in you during an emergency is especially bad. When the amount of blood increases too rapidly, your body can’t keep up and you come down with symptoms similar to hypertension. That will go away in a few days.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The sexy doctor suddenly stopped talking there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And after a pause, she made a suggestion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“When you return to Item, you’ll wind up in more life-or-death battles, won’t you? I hate to save a life only to have it lost soon thereafter. Black market doctors aren’t exactly known for their ethics, so I could rewrite some documents to extend your stay here. You would of course have to pay to use the bed that long.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Taking a break was a valid option.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And with a medical expert recommending it, maybe she should take her up on the offer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No, that won’t be necessary.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But that was Kinuhata’s response from the bed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With an expression she likely would never have shown to the rest of Item.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata Saiai smiled like a child her age was meant to.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I want to get back to them as soon as I can. If things there are going to be that dangerous, they’ll super need their shield!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hello, hello! I’ve read through your report and…the ability to communicate unchecked data with the outside world? This one could have had truly deadly consequences, huh!? Norsitro Chatellenie was it? It’s a good thing she wasn’t the kind of Information Broker to sell tech indiscriminately. Oh, and the vulnerability mentioned in your report has already been patched, so trying to abuse the fact checking that way will be immediately detected and you will be assassinated for it. So be careful, okay!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Voice on the Phone was cheerful even now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although she was an expert at controlling people remotely without revealing her true thoughts, so the smile on the other side of the connection may have actually been stiff.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Only three of the girls were in the District 5 tourist hotel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The blood transfusion had saved Kinuhata’s life, but that didn’t mean she could be up and about right away. She was currently hospitalized with the usual black market doctor so she could recover.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Phew.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frenda Seivelun wiped the sweat from her brow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cardboard boxes, packing tape, scissors, and such were strewn about.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had wanted some old newspapers and it turned out a large hotel had her covered there. Which made sense since each room was given a newspaper each day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If asked why they couldn’t let the delinquents of the support group handle this, they would say it was to preserve their privacy as girls…but the real reason was they couldn’t trust those low-level thugs to handle their dangerous possessions with sufficient care. Especially the personal possessions of the Academy City Bomber.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Where are we headed next?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ask Mugino.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They had just caused a major incident.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They had no way of knowing how many of the Dark Rescue Squad and the rest of the Information Broker’s people were left. Given the scope of the profits, she had to have had a decent-sized group. Staying in one place too long would be dangerous, so Frenda and Takitsubo were packing. Quickly changing hideouts was best at times like this. …Ideally, any fools who attacked the recently abandoned hideout could be traced back to the rest to wipe them all out. That would probably happen this time too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino wasn’t here and no one questioned it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In fact, it would have seemed unnatural and creepy if the arrogant #4 had been actively helping prepare for the move.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“In the end, this was a really close one. We completely lost control at the end there.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It comes down to what will resonate best with a villain like Mugino.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nevertheless, they had cleanly resolved everything.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…Or had they?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since her own life and future hung in the balance, Frenda Seivelun couldn’t leave this up to assumption and speculation. She wanted solid facts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I think Kinuhata at least…has escaped any danger.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Right.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Um. &#039;&#039;But in the end, what about us&#039;&#039;?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino had personally forgiven Kinuhata Saiai after she cried and told the truth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But some others had missed that chance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because they were &#039;&#039;too perfect&#039;&#039; a villain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“In the end, Mugino might end up killing us.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Don’t worry.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frenda smiled in self-deprecation, but she hadn’t expected a response.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The quiet villain had given one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As those girls took another step closer to death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“&#039;&#039;I know how to handle Mugino better than anyone.&#039;&#039;”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Refusing to have anything to do with the packing, Mugino Shizuri was in the bedroom with only a single door separating her from the other two.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The incident was over.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It had been a close thing, but Kinuhata Saiai had returned to Item.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There shouldn’t have been any more to it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And yet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino lay curled up and unmoving in the bed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She didn’t even need to call him again. The conversation was already replaying in her head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino Shizuri recalled his words.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;“How far must a betrayal go before you can truly call it a betrayal?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Those were Mujinayama’s words.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But he hadn’t stopped there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;“This world isn’t a lost cause. Complete traitors are in fact rare. Even a police officer who goes undercover with the intention of dismantling the system of violence will soon find it hard and painful to betray the people they get to know there. …Most traitors move back and forth between sides. When a traitor leaves some small sign of their treachery, it means they still feel some guilt about their actions. They may not even notice it themselves, but it means a part of them doesn’t want to harm their allies, even if it means their own destruction.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Those could be seen as kind words.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cherry picking just that part, it could sound like a lovely lesson about offering forgiveness no matter what someone has done.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But it wasn’t.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Butler Mujinayama was the advisor who stood alongside and assisted the leader of an international gang with hundreds of thousands of soldiers around the world. He had to have seen more than the just and the beautiful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;“But people can adjust to anything,”&#039;&#039; he had stated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He must have seen it time and again during his long years serving the Mugino Family. He must have seen trustworthy companions undergo a transformation. He may have even executed those former companions personally.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;“Even if they feel powerful guilt at first, they will gradually adjust as time goes on. The guilt will fade. So there are traitors who have diluted their guilt to nearly nothing at all. You could say those are the most dangerous enemy for a system of violence like the Mugino Family that cannot go to the police. Enemies do not appear out of nowhere. But if you give them room, they will grow. Lady Shizuri, please be cautious. It is too late once they have grown. You must nip them in the bud before they can grow. You must correct your own people. This is the most necessary task in supporting a large and powerful Family that’s members support each other.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Shut up,” muttered Mugino Shizuri.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She spat out the words as if cursing someone who wasn’t here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I can hear every damn word you’re saying.”&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Chapter 4: The Cost of Your Choice==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 1===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The situation was changing at dizzying speed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the first floor lobby of the District 5 tourist hotel, Kinuhata Saiai could tell she was breathing heavily. Now was no time to panic. She was currently on a dangerous tightrope walk where failing to organize the information would guarantee her death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Phew.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had to sort through the information, be it good or bad.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Striking back at the Information Broker was her top priority for now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the same time, she would have to finally deal with the fundamental problem of Mugino Shizuri. She doubted lies and deception would work forever there. The more she tried it, the more likely she was to make a mistake or rouse suspicion. So she had to make Mugino feel guilty by making her commit the one thing she disliked most of all: betrayal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then the born gangster’s own wicked principles would prevent her from attacking Kinuhata and the rest. The gang logic would muddle who was owed what.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Letting Mugino find out about any of this was out of the question, so they couldn’t rely on the support team. Kinuhata, Takitsubo, and Frenda would have to solve the Information Broker and Mugino problems on their own.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We’ll super pit Mugino and the Information Broker against each other.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was two in the afternoon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata Saiai made this suggestion while soaked with a cold sweat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We make it look like I got dragged into that fight. It would work best if I get injured. Then Mugino will kill the Information Broker for us and Mugino’s ‘betrayal’ of me will give us the upper hand with her. That’s the only way if all of us are going to survive. We let it all be super water under the bridge by negating betrayal with more betrayal.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“In the end, are you serious? There’s no safety measures there.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frenda’s shoulders slumped, but she didn’t seem to have an alternative.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Track suit girl Takitsubo nodded a little.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s more likely to work than trying to continue lying. Mugino hates betrayal from one of her own more than anything. Based on her gangster logic, not simple emotion. …So how much do you think she will blame herself if she suspects a teammate and turns out to be wrong? Especially if that teammate ends up injured as a result.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It wasn’t a solid plan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It would be a perilous tightrope walk. In fact, the very idea of using this loophole against her could be seen as a betrayal of Mugino.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One shoulder of Frenda Seivelun’s clothes slipped down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her thoughts were written plain on her face: she wanted to run with all her might, but she knew running would only get her killed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ugh. Then what do we need first? That Information Broker’s identity and appearance? In the end, we can’t include her in our plan if we don’t know her personal information.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Then this should come in super handy.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata Saiai waved her phone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Just like when we dealt with the blackmailers, I have the location data found by messing with a security robot, hooking a phone up to it, and scanning for phone signals in the area. Anyone with five or ten phones on them is super suspicious, right? Then I have a candidate here.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frenda was skeptical. Which may have been the natural reaction after being dragged into a deadly problem for no good reason.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“In the end, do you really think the big boss would be wandering around on the front line?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You have it backwards, Frenda.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“She can let her underlings handle a lot of the odd jobs, but not so with a delicate and difficult boss battle. It’s the same with Item and our support team, right? …If she truly sees us as a threat, the Information Broker herself will be the one gathering information.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But that mistrust and unease regarding her own people had worked against her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It had been convenient for Kinuhata and the others that the enemy was carrying five or more phones. They were likely for different uses – contacting her team, sending commands to disposable soldiers, etc. – but with five of them, it wasn’t a surprise to find one specific type of phone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One for purely private use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Instead of a pseudonym and a fictional address, this phone was linked to her real name and bank account and had tens of thousands of photos and videos on it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They couldn’t steal all of those right away, but they could view the registration name on the small notifications and the lock screen wallpaper.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was especially easy with narcissists who used their own photo there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Norsitro Chatellenie. …Finally super found you, Information Broker.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was a girl with silver hair and dark skin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She looked to be older than Kinuhata and younger than Takitsubo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why her wallpaper was a selfie of herself smiling in only a towel was a mystery, though. Did she tend to take long baths with her phone?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takitsubo Rikou had again shifted into drill sergeant mode. So annoying.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Okay, Kinuhata. We know her name and appearance, but how do we find her hideout?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We super use her food,” succinctly stated Kinuhata Saiai.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frenda sighed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Norsitro Chatellenie. In the end, her name does sound pretty French. Her phone’s default language is even set to French.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to Frenda, the towel she was wearing was from a fairly high-end brand. A French brand, of course. It was an offshoot of the fancy restaurant napkins and tablecloths the company was generally known for. Silks and dresses were one thing, but Kinuhata was a little surprised to learn there was even such a thing as a super high-quality towel. Takitsubo and Frenda went on to say the one towel cost more than two million yen. Now she was super surprised!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“She’ll definitely be looking for the soul food of her home country. That doesn’t mean she’ll be super eating French food every day, but she won’t be able to stop completely. And if she does that when she’s letting off some steam, she will leave behind some small hints. We can use those to can track down the elusive Information Broker.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That must have been the answer Takitsubo was expecting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She immediately returned the conversational rally.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“For food, District 4 would be best.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yeah, they super have any kind of cuisine you could want. Which means that’s where a native would go if she isn’t satisfied with Japan’s French restaurants that unintentionally alter the food to fit Japanese sensibilities and work with the local ingredients.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But, Kinuhata, an entire district is a large area. Will Norsitro be going to a luxury French restaurant with a French manager, or does she visit an industrial supermarket with imported ingredients and do the cooking herself? Even narrowing it down to those two options leaves quite a few possibilities.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Will you super stop testing me?” Kinuhata sighed in exasperation and raised a finger. “B and C gangster movies always show the gang bosses and fugitives using fancy restaurants of their home country as a base, but you’d be immediately caught and arrested if you tried that in Academy City. The connection is too obvious. So if the Information Broker is trying to be safe by staying hidden, she super won’t visit a restaurant connected to her home country. By her logic, that would be suicide.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She raised another finger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“And &#039;&#039;that’s why she’ll have them come to her.&#039;&#039; At a disposable rental site of course. There are plenty of services that let you call in an expert chef to cook for you and even the rich in the legitimate world will do that for a home party. For a special fee. …That must exist on the dark side too, right? There must be a chef hiring service with options for every county around the world.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Correct.” Takitsubo laughed. “It’s called Kitchen Car. Those food specialists are based in District 4 and can enrich a criminal’s fugitive lifestyle.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Right. The chef’s skills are top rate, but they were unfairly fired when the entire restaurant got food poisoning or the ingredients were phony or something, so in the end, they were recruited in secret,” added Frenda.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata sighed softly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That just leaves…the fact that it’s two in the afternoon. The next super time she could call a chef will be at dinnertime. How many hours are we going to end up waiting?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“In the end, I doubt it will take long.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Kinuhata, proper French cooking requires hours of preparation. For a dinner scheduled for seven to nine in the evening, I wouldn’t be surprised if the chefs are already getting started.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Oh, is that so, you damn dark side rich girls?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was an unbelievable world for Kinuhata who was happy as long as she had movie theater popcorn and a soda.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regardless, if Information Broker Norsitro Chatellenie was a frequent user of Kitchen Car, this would be easy. Tailing their French chef would eventually lead them right to the Information Broker.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“There are a few things we have to be super careful about,” began Kinuhata. She raised a finger. “First, Kitchen Car will be experts at not being tailed. After all, their job is to provide a safe option for fugitives who can’t just go to a restaurant. Trust is their main selling point, so they will make super sure they aren’t being followed. What we do about that is our biggest problem.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She wasn’t done yet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She raised a second finger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Second, using this to attack the Information Broker would be easy, but we also have to see this through to the end while fooling Mugino. Defeating Norsitro Chatellenie is super meaningless if she makes a mistake and is killed by Meltdowner before we’re ready. And Mugino isn’t stupid, so she will get suspicious with all three of us missing.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“&#039;&#039;Isn’t that great&#039;&#039;?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata couldn’t believe it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The legitimate VIP whose downfall had been triggered by a super tiny pencil nuke. Private Casino who had been baked to death by a white phosphorous grenade on the party hall roof. The fates of those who had opposed or betrayed Item – or Mugino Shizuri, really – flashed through Kinuhata’s mind. This situation was placing a strain on her heart, but Takitsubo had casually called it “great”?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That search expert who didn’t participate in the direct fighting really did see things differently. …Was Mugino Shizuri really the most terrifying member of Item?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We have internal and external enemies and the situation is extremely complex and annoying, but we only have two problems to deal with. That should tell you this mission is on easy mode, Kinuhata.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 2===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takitsubo spoke up while operating her phone on a moving train.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I found more on the Information Broker.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata frowned.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Their opponent was an expert at using information. She wouldn’t be operating in a way that made her real identity as Norsitro Chatellenie a household name.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So was Takitsubo researching the Information Broker identity?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“She appears to go by some other names, but the most notable one is the Faultfinding Demon. She might take a philanthropist who insists money isn’t everything and bury them in debt. Or she might take a lawyer who claims to be opposed to violence no matter the circumstances and place them under so much psychological pressure they end up killing someone in front of a TV camera. It looks like she targets anyone who performatively makes unrealistic claims to boost their public reputation.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But are you sure it’s really Norsitro doing that? Information Broker isn’t a super rare term or anything.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Kinuhata. Do you remember the bug maker I mentioned before?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yeah, during the stuff with Sudori-san. You said they were investigating Kamigi when they disappeared.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Well, the title of information broker is even more common than that one, but I’ve heard rumors of a sudden drop off in how often it’s used. They must all be afraid of earning her disfavor by looking like a rival.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That made sense.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This opponent was even more dangerous than Kinuhata had imagined. Not to mention self-centered and persistent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Is the super dark side just full of guys who are willing to die for their weird hang-ups?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Stop that, Kinuhata. You should try to use gender neutral language.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata got scolded by the capable big sister.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…But was that really necessary when complaining about brutal villains?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
District 4 was located a bit northeast of Academy City’s center.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The district specialized in all things food and it was a very international place. The food market had small flags to indicate what nationality a shop specialized in, so the long street was reminiscent of all the flags at an athletic festival. The many signs jutting out from from the building walls was chaos itself. There were so many signs overhead it felt like walking through a colorful tunnel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Broad categories like Asian or European had naturally gathered in clumps, but there was no strict division between areas. There was an Italian restaurant and an American South hamburger shop encroaching on the red Chinatown and a sushi place with the Central and South American versions of Spanish and Portuguese on the signs right alongside the European restaurants. The sushi there apparently used jalapeno paste instead of wasabi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This district is like a giant manifestation of choice paralysis.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Frenda, is this making you crave your own home country’s food?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“In the end, I’d be happy living on the far side of Mars as long as I have mackerel.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the three of them stayed away too long, Mugino Shizuri would get suspicious. But that didn’t mean they had to solve this problem before that happened. In fact, they couldn’t have Mugino just stay in the luxury hotel. To trick her, to get her to betray them, and to survive, they needed Mugino to act of her own volition.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Suspicion was the greatest fuel for someone who hated betrayal more than anything else.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So is super that Kitchen Car’s HQ?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I think so, Kinuhata.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But wait. District 4 is all about food…and they’re in a trash house!? I thought Kitchen Car were super culinary experts!! How could they let this happen!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“In the end, I bet this was what happened when those culinary experts decided to build a fortress everyone would want to keep away from. Inside, they’ve probably torn down some walls to turn into a maze. It’s called hiding in plain sight. If you’re looking for someone or something, nothing is more annoying than a trash-filled building.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The structure itself was a four-floor multi-tenant building, but bulging trash bags were piled up in every door and window and even covered the front walk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Was that supposed to be camouflage?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That had to be a huge nuisance for the neighbors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The trio bought kebab sandwiches at a nearby food stand and munched on them as they waited for something to happen. There were an unusual number of people jogging, but was that the result of the overabundance of tasty foods in this district?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frenda’s sandwich must have been too spicy for her because she kept going back to her cup’s straw for more sips of soda.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“In the end, do we have any reason to think the Information Broker will call Kitchen Car today?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“There’s no guarantee, but I think the odds are good,” replied Takitsubo. “This is a big deal for her too. It might look like she’s the one threatening Item, but this only happened because she failed to deal with us earlier. If she screws this up, she’ll truly have to go into hiding and then she’ll have far fewer options. She should want to eat everything she likes while she has the chance.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“There they super are.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A mid-sized yellow truck slowly emerged from the trash heap of a place. Kinuhata was surprised to find there was a metal garage door there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That must be Kitchen Car’s truck.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The trio waited for the truck to pass by and made the final check by nose.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Bouillon and mirepoix. Also truffles, pickles, horseradish, and is that lobster sauce?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That’s not Japanese or Chinese cooking. In the end, it’s definitely French.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…Kinuhata couldn’t tell a thing. But she wasn’t upset about it. Really.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But a truck.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Did they need a large vehicle to fit the ingredients and the cooking equipment? It wasn’t as bad as with Chinese cooking, but French cooking probably did require some industrial firepower.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kitchen Car were experts at providing fugitives with delicious food. That meant they knew how to keep Anti-Skill from tailing them. This wouldn’t be as easy as attaching a GPS-equipped device to track it. The truck’s radio or sensors would detect the signal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So Takitsubo made a simple comment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Frenda.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yeah, yeah. In the end, one plastic bottle drone coming up. Makes me wonder what you would have done if you didn’t have the ultra genius and ultimately cute Frenda-chan on your side.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s French food, right? I planned to track the nitrogen gas used to keep the wine from oxidizing.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But in the end, Norsitro Chatellenie is clearly underage!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takitsubo and Frenda were enjoying their banter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How could they be so calm?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata frowned.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Won’t your drone get super shot down by an attack helicopter?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“In the end, anything small enough will be fine as long as it doesn’t move too fast. There are plenty of UFOs flying around overhead, including small birds and convenience store bags floating in the wind. The city’s automatic air defense doesn’t react to it all.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of course, Frenda wasn’t just guessing here. It was based on accurate data she had researched. And the standards had to change daily.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The tablet’s screen showed the yellow truck crossing a few district boundaries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It finally arrived in District 2.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Isn’t that the car-focused district?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“In the end, they do weapons and explosives there too.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They focused on the screen some more. The yellow truck drove below a building, likely into an underground parking garage, but experts at losing pursuit wouldn’t drive straight to their client’s hideout. Frenda cautiously sent the drone around a while longer to continue observing from the air until…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Here they come.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hm. When traveling on foot, they disguise themselves as a wholesaler that specializes in fireproof curtains and carpets. Well, the ingredients and cooking equipment unloaded from the truck would be too heavy to carry without a handcart of some kind.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Then is this it? What is this super place?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I see a lot of tall, fake structures and a bunch of ropes. In the end, it looks like some kind of training ground. If it isn’t Anti-Skill, could it be for firefighters?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The place didn’t seem to be functioning. Was it abandoned? There was even a large plastic pool set up on the grounds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Is it time to head in?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I want to be absolutely certain first. They might take another vehicle from the parking lot here.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They waited ten minutes, but that never happened.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That settled it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It had to be this former training ground thought to be for firefighters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We have her,” said Takitsubo Rikou.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 3===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She woke up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hmm?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino Shizuri opened her eyes in bed. And slowly sat up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She crawled out of the bedroom still in sleepwear that let her body show through pretty much everywhere.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Takitsubo?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No response.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She looked around without fixing her hair.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Kinuhata, Frenda?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Still nothing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Hm…)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just once she consciously let out a breath.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then she grabbed her phone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She didn’t call her familiar Item teammates.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Kinuhata and Takitsubo were missing after the bank robbery, but now Frenda’s gone too.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was already making some guesses. Like that &#039;&#039;they wouldn’t respond&#039;&#039; if she called them or messaged them on social media.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was only one person to contact at a time like this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Mujinayama. You’ve been discharged from the hospital, right?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I must apologize for the inconvenience and trouble I caused you back then, Lady Shizu-”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Don’t bother,” she snapped and the old butler immediately fell silent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was Mujinayama, so he obviously wasn’t intimidated. Even over the phone, he gave the sense of a grandfather playing with his grandchild.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hey, Mujinayama.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I am at your service.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“How do I identify a traitor?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 4===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A firefighter training ground was an unfamiliar place.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata had trouble deciding where any specific rooms would be located. The fake structures on the surface couldn’t be all of it, so there was likely more underground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, where would that evil boss be?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Can we super determine what floor and room they’re in base on Kitchen Car’s movements?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata knew that was asking a lot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The grounds were large and there were probably lots of underground pathways connecting different areas. What they could see from the outside wouldn’t be enough to fully track Kitchen Car.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But Frenda sounded cheerful as she used a cable to link her phone to a panel on the thick wall surrounding the grounds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“In the end, check this out, Kinuhata. The security camera records are just gone.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Does that super mean the Information Broker is using this place in secret?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Then what about this third floor special observation seat? I’m guessing that’s a VIP room for instructors to watch all the trainees and keep score, but the sprinklers have been turned off there.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Kitchen Car was transporting cooking equipment along with their ingredients, right? They can ventilate the smoke with a hose connected to the air conditioning vent, but the heat of the fire will still be a problem. So what if they want to use an industrial high-heat gas burner or oven outside of a proper kitchen?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You mean they would have to super switch off the sprinklers and fire alarms? Then they must be in the third floor VIP room!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They were already in enemy territory, so they couldn’t use the elevator which could act like a dead end. It was only three floors up, so they took the emergency stairs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Takitsubo-san, the plan was to pit the Information Broker and Mugino against each other, right?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Right.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But how do we super call Mugino here?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“In the end, do we even have to? Mugino will never forgive a traitor. She’ll track us down here on her own. We couldn’t hide from her even if we wanted to.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, they couldn’t relax just because they were using the emergency stairs instead of the elevator.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A wire crossed the path at above knee height, the most likely height for someone to hit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laying several layers of traps would also narrow the trap-layers freedom of movement, so they would only do it if it benefited them. …Hopefully this meant the enemy didn’t have enough personnel to have regular human patrols.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Have you noticed, Kinuhata?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yeah, I have. These traps are weird. They’re using the bare minimum of flammables like gasoline while using a super ton of oxygen tanks and air circulators.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata wondered if that was to avoid breaking the laws against weapons and bombs, but setting up any kind of explosive with the intent of causing an explosion violated the law anyway. Reducing the amount used wouldn’t get you off the hook in court.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Academy City Bomber explained in exasperation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“They’re using oxygen to guide the flames. Have you never heard of tactical ventilation? When firefighters enter a burning building, they will methodically break windows and doors to let air through and, in the end, guide the flames where they won’t hurt anyone while the firefighters complete their rescue. They will also sometimes intentionally increase the intensity of the fire elsewhere to prevent backdrafts and flashovers. But if you wanted to, you could also create a flamethrower-like blast of fire and bend it in an S-shape.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They all exchanged a glance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…Firefighters. Frenda had said it herself, but apparently even she hadn’t expected the phrase to pop up here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“In the end, this is a training ground for them, isn’t it?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Super umm, can rescue squad people go bad too?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’ve never heard of it, but it could be. They’re trained to break down doors and enter buildings above the ground floor, so they do have some abusable skills.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“They also sound strong. In the end, they’d definitely make big burly troops.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The three continued up the stairs while on the lookout for traps.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After reaching the third floor hallway and cracking open the steel fire door, they sensed a presence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They spotted someone big and burly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata could defeat him with Offense Armor, but his identity was a bit of a mystery. Looking like a bad guy didn’t necessarily mean you were one. People sometimes behaved in weird, illogical ways. He might just be an ordinary body builder who had snuck into the former training ground (unaware of the traps) to get a workout there, so Kinuhata and the others waited until he had walked past before slipping out into into the hallway.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takitsubo’s nose twitched a little.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I don’t detect an appetizing aroma.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“In the end, the room with the most suspicious electricity usage is the third door on the right.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then they would start there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata had assumed there was only one third floor VIP room, but it turned out there were several. After pressing her ear to the door and listening for any activity inside, she slowly opened the door.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What is this super place?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She found a dark room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was about the size of a larger convenience store.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The opposite wall was made of glass to provide a view of the outdoor training ground, but Kinuhata was more interested in something else.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
LCD monitors lined one section with pricey-looking office chairs in front of them. More than half the space under the desks was taken up by what looked like industrial computers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Did the firefighter training ground also super teach them how to respond to emergency alerts and operate their radios?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This might have all been brought here after the fact,” replied the track suit girl.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The right and left walls were covered by steel racks packed with paper files thicker than brick blocks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takitsubo scanned the entire room with emotionless eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Frenda, let’s check the paper.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“In the end, why not the computers? Paper documents don’t even have the bare minimum of a search option.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I don’t want to touch the computers when we don’t even know if they use a password, fingerprints, a security key, or facial recognition. We might get it locked down or even trigger an alert to their boss. The paper is better. I’ll handle the shelves, so you two check the ones around the desks.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ughh. In the end, a note with their password written on it would be too much to hope for, wouldn’t it?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If they’re unlocking it every single time, there must be some kind of mark or hint,” said Takitsubo even as she walked over to the shelves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All that information felt overwhelming to Kinuhata, but apparently it looked like a treasure trove to their search expert.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This data is related to a vulnerability,” said Takitsubo as she flipped through something like a thick manual.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata tilted her head. What kind of vulnerability?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The wide variety of videos and articles strewn across the internet are automatically fact checked for accuracy…but there is no system in place to fact check the fact checking.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“???”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s complicated, but in short there’s a loophole in the network monitoring system. By converting a file to the fact checking file extension, it can slip right past Academy City’s automatic checking system. The legitimate files are 512 kilobytes, so anything larger than that would be detected as illegitimate, but you can fit a ton of text in a file that size.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Super so what? What happens if you can slip something past it?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You can send unchecked electronic data in and out of the city. Using the official fiber optic lines while ignoring the dedicated systems entirely.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They all fell silent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hold on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wh-what are you saying? That, in the end, all the city’s classified data on next-gen weapons and esper development could be leaked outside the city!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Instead of responding right away, Takitsubo took a look around the room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She blinked a few times.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If they are selling technology like that, why isn’t any of that data here?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Now that you mention it… They super have a loophole they could use, but I haven’t seen any data they could sell, like the plans for a stealth fighter or a Level 5’s DNA map.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So in the end, what is Norsitro hoping to do with that super convenient joker in her hand?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was when Takitsubo’s head shot up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The search expert was looking off in an odd direction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was a warning sign.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Kinuhata. Frenda.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yes?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Watch out. The enemy is coming.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The door burst open from outside.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frenda immediately leapt behind a big decorative plant and Kinuhata moved in front of Takitsubo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A girl entered flanked by two large men. They of course recognized that silver hair and dark skin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was Information Broker Norsitro Chatellenie.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her phone’s wallpaper had shown her in a towel, but now her body was tightly bound by a leather belt, miniskirt, and big boots that were a glittering neon green with silver thread woven in. It was probably meant to be a bondage outfit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, hey. You were right, Matsuzawa-san.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I was lucky.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“All we had to do was leave the ‘call center’ unlocked and unoccupied and they waltzed on in here like a bunch of roaches. Incredible.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Milady. Shouldn’t you compare them to something more appealing, like rhinoceros beetles?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Is that more appealing? You must like the outdoors, Haranaka-san. They’re both just shiny black bugs to me☆”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 5===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Back in the tourist hotel suite in the grown-up District 5.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What Mugino Shizuri most wanted at the moment was the live words of an expert.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Needless to say, the Mugino Family was an international gang with hundreds of thousands of soldiers around the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus, they wouldn’t go crying to the normal police if some money disappeared or someone died within the Family. That would mean tearing down their entire violent system to solve one measly case. Still, there were on occasion fools who would periodically sell information to the police (because they were being threatened or something). To reiterate, the Family would not ask the police for help when something happened.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So they had a different solution.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They had an internal investigation department that specialized in identifying and punishing traitors in their midst.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If it’s too weak, there’s nothing to stop the traitors, but if it’s too strong, it turns into a dictatorship that wields false accusations and purges. …Mujinayama, you know how to handle these things just right, don’t you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Sigh… I would have preferred you came to me for advice on how to prevent the betrayal from occurring in the first place, but I get the feeling it is too late for that.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hurry up.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Mugino lightly rushed him, the mood changed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His world – the vibe of the Mugino Family he had served for so many long years – pushed in through the cold mechanical phone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The standard countermeasure against betrayal in a system of violence is to prepare for it before it actually happens. You do not want to be running around in a panic after you have been betrayed and real harm has been done.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Right.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino glanced aside with the phone against her ear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the empty boxes for luxury brand clothing piled up in a corner of the room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“&#039;&#039;You don’t have to worry about that.&#039;&#039;”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Is that so? I would expect no less from the one who carries the weight of the Family’s future on her shoulders. I am relieved.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That old butler did not flatter people for no reason. If she couldn’t think of any reason for the compliment, there had to be more coming.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His ever gentle voice quietly gained the sharp edge of a knife.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“However, you must not forget that suspecting your companions is itself a small betrayal. It is necessary for the maintenance of a system of violence that cannot rely on the official power structures, but it is by no means a praiseworthy thing.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“And what if your suspicions of betrayal prove to be false? Shizuri-sama, betrayal and the response thereof are a sort of gamble. You are not a righteous detective investigating each suspicious individual until you find the criminal like a game of concentration. If you choose wrong just once, responsibility for that mistake falls on you. Investigating a traitor carries the risk of becoming a traitor yourself. You must never forget this when seeking the truth in our shadowy world.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was why the internal investigation department paid exceptionally well while being exceptionally risky.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was known as the hardest department to keep balanced.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And this summed up why Mugino Shizuri had gone out of her way to seek advice from the old butler who had served the Family for so long.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes. If she could be sloppy and get it wrong as many times as she liked, she would have done it all herself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But that wasn’t an option, so she wanted to know the etiquette and secrets the gangs used.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It also depends on the severity of the betrayal in question.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The old butler used that as a starting point.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He did not mince words.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So whether or not he included that phrase would likely greatly change the impression left with the listener. Even if Mugino Shizuri didn’t yet know why it mattered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Complete traitors are actually fairly rare. Most traitors move back and forth between the two sides, so they always carry some small feeling of guilt with them. It is always gnawing at them, even as they eat and sleep.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Are you saying the losers who can’t stand the pressure will blow up first?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No. It affects everyone of all sorts. Someone who truly cannot bear the impure feelings won’t bother with all those tricks and will make a full-on attack despite the risks. The family head is the type to do that.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…Mugino Shizuri bluntly concluded that man’s way of life was unfortunately not very useful for her. After all, that freak had once armed himself, single-handedly stormed an embassy, and dragged the corrupt minister off the embassy’s grounds just because a small child had cried and asked him to rescue his grandfather (true story). If she asked that ridiculous man how to find a traitor, she could easily imagine him telling her to build up enough charisma that no one felt the need to betray her in the first place.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She wanted to discuss a more realistic way of finding a traitor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It is not always a lack of skill that leads traitors to leave small clues and make mistakes. There is a part of them that wants to be caught. That is why their pursuer notices their presence. Lady Shizuri, I assume you came to me for advice because you already have some kind of clue. What felt off to you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For one, why had the other three members of Item gone missing at the same time?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If those three wanted to do something behind her back, wouldn’t they leave someone behind to distract her and keep her from getting suspicious? Why hadn’t they done that?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How could she explain it from a standpoint of pure function and efficiency?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Hm.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Now let’s circle back to an earlier point,” said Mujinayama. In a voice that would make anyone’s back straighten. “How far must a betrayal go before you can truly call it a betrayal?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 6===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The silver-haired dark-skinned girl was Information Broker Norsitro.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Were the large burly men surrounding her illicit firefighters?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
More importantly, Kinuhata had picked up on a curious word in their brief conversation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The call center&#039;&#039;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“(Kinuhata, anything the enemy freely says in front of you should be taken with a grain of salt. Don’t accept it at face value.)”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Information you think you researched on your own can be externally controlled too, you know? All I have to do is manipulate what order you find the relevant data in, so it’s not hard at all,” pointed out Norsitro in her neon green bondage outfit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then what about the vulnerability they had just found? Using the fact checking file extension? Maybe they had to doubt the entire idea of freely communicating across the city wall. Were they back to square one?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Kinuhata, what did I just say about things the enemy says in front of you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ugh.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata Saiai groaned at having to be told a second time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The silver-haired girl smiled elegantly at how easily manipulated Kinuhata was. She even covered her mouth with a hand despite how that clashed with her outfit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So instead of leaping at the documents and information you find, you should be working out how and why they turned up here and then dealing with them accordingly.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Information Broker.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Norsitro’s job involved more than just gathering information. She had to decide how to use it. When was the best time to reveal it or hide it? She was an expert at using information as a whole.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That said, get the balance wrong and you can end up paranoid and doubting everything you see, so hiring an expert at information management is the best thing to do for your mental health, if you ask me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Out of the corner of her eye, Kinuhata saw Frenda stir.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She stuck a hand in her pocket.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata had been working with Item long enough to know what Frenda was planning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Norsitro was still talking when Frenda pulled an explosive from her pocket and threw-&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“&#039;&#039;I’m not done talking.&#039;&#039;”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Boom!!&#039;&#039; A dull explosion rang out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unsure what had happened, Kinuhata Saiai was thrown through a tempered glass window. In other words, she was tossed out from the third floor. That was about the same as the top floor of a school.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the other side, the inner wall behind Norsitro broke through and a black Eastern dragon emerged.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was actually thousands or tens of thousands of flying objects about the size of paper airplanes made from fliers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“In the end, is that a drone swarm!? Kinuhata!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ohhh? Are you sure you should be focusing on her?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A “zap!!” of bursting air rang out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Along with a flash of light.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frenda Seivelun fell to her knees.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Kah…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Lightning, a high-voltage current? What the hell? In the end, does she have more than just next-gen weapons?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frenda collapsed to the floor and couldn’t move. She couldn’t even lift her head. The most she could manage was some trembling of her limbs. She could only thank her lucky stars that none of the delicate fuses and explosives hidden on her person had gone off.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The silver-haired girl glanced over at the only one left: Takitsubo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You’re dropping like flies. Which makes it easier for me, so I’m not complaining.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The drones were black devices. They were the size of 10x20cm paper airplanes, but their jagged and distorted silhouette looked something like a Christmas tree. Would their precise classification be canard double delta?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And Takitsubo spoke quietly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Is this why?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Drone swarms can’t be defended against by existing missile defense systems because there are just too many of them, so in a way you could call them an even greater strategic weapon than a nuclear warhead. But the problem is the manufacturing and operating costs. The price has to be multiplied across the number of drones in the swarm, so building a thousand of them increases the cost a thousandfold and creating ten thousand increases it ten-thousandfold. Same for the fuel and maintenance costs. That isn’t something an individual can use.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yeah, I do use around 250 thousand of them at once. And the number goes up to 1.75 million if you include the spares, so the final sum is nothing to sneeze at. Keeping them in top condition isn’t easy.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Khah. In the end, even if it’s fully automated and it only takes a minute per drone, how much effort are you putting into this? Did you buy an entire huge factory with multiple production lines?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Didn’t I just say keeping them in top condition isn’t easy? Besides, a single stealth fighter costs 20-30 billion yen. And that’s just buying it. When you think of this as a super weapon superior to nukes, it’s honestly a pretty good deal.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her neon green bondage outfit had silver threads woven in. Was that glittering getup actually a highly conductive full-body antenna?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Norsitro chuckled and spread her arms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The word drone apparently originally referred to the buzzing of a bee’s wings and the drones surrounding her lived up to that origin. They were surprisingly nimble and reminiscent of killer bees or of flies buzzing around something dead. Some drones would come to a stop in midair, so they may have been capable of vertical takeoffs and landings using a lift fan or something.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also, she had the high-voltage power that had hit Frenda.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Committing perfect crimes in Academy City is a challenge. But not so outside the city’s walls. Isn’t that right? Especially if you can use Academy City tech out there. Then it’s like shooting fish in a barrel.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You aren’t going after the parents, are you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What, something like this: ‘Hey! If you don’t pay up soon, we’ll threaten your precious kid over and over and over again until they’re part of the blackmailer group themselves! Then they’ll be a criminal and your whole family will be in the news!’ ”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A grin split across the silver-haired girl’s face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was the devilish face of someone who knew how to cash in on people’s misfortune and tragedy with maximum efficiency.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The towering wall surrounding the city prevents the parents outside from rescuing their child no matter how much danger they’re in. What, you think they should call Anti-Skill? Heh hee hee. You know better than that. The higher ups of this city are all corrupt, so they won’t allow anything to threaten the city’s public image. Oops, and now that report is being suppressed. There won’t be any kind of official record it ever even happened.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The parents would be helpless while knowing their child was in trouble.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The only option left would be to pay a sum of money larger than they could hope to make in a lifetime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They could always refuse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But it was this girl’s job to give them &#039;&#039;a very good idea&#039;&#039; of what would happen then.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The large men – firefighters? – closed in on Takitsubo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Now, then. Your bodyguard went skydiving and your bomber was zapped into submission. The search expert remains, but what can you hope to do on your own?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I can do this.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takitsubo was quick to make up her mind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She grabbed paralyzed Frenda’s collar and immediately jumped out the broken window.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 7===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This wasn’t a suicide.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She fell to a location less than three meters down. It was likely part of the training ground, but a net was laid out there to catch anyone who fell.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takitsubo wouldn’t have taken that sudden dive if she hadn’t recalled seeing it earlier.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This way. Super this way!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata Saiai had fallen earlier and she was beckoning over from behind a large fake building wall. Takitsubo adjusted her grip on Frenda, dropped from the net to the ground, and ran over to Kinuhata.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fake buildings, trees, streetlights, benches – there were plenty of places to hide, but the training ground was still an open outdoor space. Staying here was not an attractive option. If they wanted to avoid being caught in a pincer attack, they needed to find a back entrance and withdraw indoors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takitsubo lowered the fluffy blonde girl from her shoulder to a concrete-looking floor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Frenda.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What, can’t you tell? In the end, you can’t expect any help from me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I want to know how those drones work. Only you would know that.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Did Takitsubo Rikou know exactly what people wanted to hear at times like this?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Academy City Bomber reacted with a twitch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Those are just your standard wandering self-destruct drones that carry a bomb and charge at their target, right? Their structure itself is simple. Based on how far Kinuhata was blasted, the explosive they’re carrying isn’t anything special. If they’re loaded with 100 grams and it expands 800 times, in the end, that’s about the same force as a grenade. The lethal range should be around 10m.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…But 1.75 million grenades thrown at you one after another would be more than enough of a threat. A minor fortress or combat airfield could be stained with blood and destroyed by that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“1.75 million… She can’t be controlling them all manually, can she?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“In the end, she’s probably providing general instructions with her phone and the exact calculations are all handled by AI. Like playing an RTS on easy mode.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Then super what if we jam those signals? That will cut off the manual instructions and I bet they’re linked up to a fairly large supercomputer to constantly perform so many flight control calculations.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I doubt that would work. She uses 250 thousand at once and has a total of 1.75 million in case some are brought down. Even if each one has a cheap toy of a CPU, linking 250 thousand of them together in parallel will provide some decent processing power. They won’t need a stationary supercomputer.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It sounded like jamming the wireless network itself would still work, but they didn’t know what the swarm used to communicate. And if they were military, they would likely use multiple methods at once: EM, IR, magnetism, ultrasound. Actually jamming them would require blocking every one of the methods…but how many methods was “every one” of them?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata sounded fed up with it all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Drones that super small have to run out of fuel or battery before long, right? If we stay on the run to buy time, won’t they eventually break down?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Kinuhata, we can’t make that kind of assumption without seeing their design or specs. They might generate power from the wind or the sun and they might be remotely charged using ultrasonic waves or microwaves.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A portion of the blue sky was colored black.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As if ink had been splattered into the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frenda looked up with her lips twisted into a stiff half-smile.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So…in the end, which sounds better to you: having them attack us in a straight line or having them spread out and attack us as a wall?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Either way, Kinuhata would be the only survivor.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“250 thousand at once and 1.75 million in all… If I’m super pummeled by that many bombs, not even Offense Armor is going to last.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata could only watch the drone swarm in a daze.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They circled an area as large as a schoolyard as they took aim. Like a giant flying serpent. If the Item girls stayed outside, they would be swallowed by a sandstorm of mechanical explosions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ah ha ha. You call that escaping?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They heard a voice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Being out in the open makes it easier for me☆”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It belonged to Norsitro Chatellenie.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She jumped lightly down toward them from from the broken window a few meters up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was less than a hundred meters away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Still seated on the floor, Frenda immediately pulled multiple explosives from her short skirt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I seriously doubt that will work.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The wind roared as it spiraled thickly around them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A giant tower rose up on either side of Norsitro. The wind wrapped around and extended high into the sky, forming powerful tornadoes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Realizing what that meant, Frenda froze before making her attack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The brown girl’s hair and leather skirt were flapping wildly, but she didn’t seem bothered by it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Handheld rockets have a terrible tendency to miss when exposed to crosswinds. I hear that world-famous Russian one that only costs 20 or 30 thousand yen has trouble hitting at even 500 meters. And with this kind of random turbulence, you have no way of calculating a path.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tornadoes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frenda’s eyes widened because she had already been hit by an esper power attack here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You mean…in the end, she doesn’t just have lightning!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What’s wrong? Was there some other weather you were hoping for? Or were you worried about low pressure because you get headaches on those days? Just let me know☆”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Norsitro smiled in her bright neon green bondage outfit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And it began pouring rain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Less than five seconds later, it turned to fist-sized hail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then a clear blue sky shined overhead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was like she was casually flipping an invisible switch. Frenda Seivelun was completely dumbfounded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Was this Norsitro Chatellenie’s power?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You’re…kidding.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It super looks like she can control all forms of weather, including lightning, doesn’t it? Her power might control the air instead of electricity.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Kinuhata, don’t treat maybes like confirmed information. Remember what I said about information the enemy gives you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yes, yes, I have to super take it with grain of salt! …But how else are we supposed to explain that ridiculous power!? Mutter, mutter…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata’s complaints were cut off.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By the repeating sound of something beating at the air.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a Two Wings helicopter that could be flown unmanned…no, based on the arm-like wings spread out on the sides, was it a Six Wings?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
250 thousand at the same time with a total of 1.75 million.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As those things flew around, the “black dragon” must have shown up on Academy City’s anti-air radar. Their operator must have known that would happen, but…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Shut up.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It exploded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even Frenda wouldn’t want to be chased by one of those. That was just how brutal the Six Wings’ air-to-air and air-to-ground armaments were, but it happened so easily.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I said it’s a super weapon superior to nukes, didn’t I? You can’t expect ordinary weapons – even an entire squadron of attack helicopters – to deal with it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So in the end, is there no way of stopping her?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her power was frightening, but it wasn’t just her power.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The drone swam was frightening, but it wasn’t just the drone swarm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All three Item members had the same thought: how could they even begin to deal with a monster like this?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even now, the two tornadoes were raging across the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With a din of destruction, drink vending machines, streetlights, and fake buildings were torn from the ground and thrown into the air. People were meant to climb and descend them with ropes, so it had all been bolted to concrete pedestals, but it didn’t seem to matter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If a human was caught in there, they would be thrown high into the sky…and then what would happen?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Norsitro grinned.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She wasn’t making a threat to negotiate. The joy of someone who planned to &#039;&#039;use it&#039;&#039; spread across her face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’m not saying there’s no hope at all for you. After all, one of you is supposedly a shield esper.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But if protecting yourself from the fall is &#039;&#039;all&#039;&#039; you can manage, then I just have to hit you again from the side. Which would you prefer to kill you: the self-destruct drones or my power?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was extraordinary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The three Item girls didn’t see how they could win even if they all attacked at once.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Norsitro Chatellenie held a position near the very top if you ignored the excessive financial cost of operating those drones as an individual.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But that was all the more reason to fight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They couldn’t leave someone this powerful to her own devices. She would prey on Academy City’s ordinary students, drive them to the blackmailers, and even threaten the parents outside the city to make even more money. The people having their lives and futures ruined were not the fools who had purposefully rushed to the dark side to snag some dirty money. Norsitro was like quicksand that endlessly swallowed honest people with no such intentions. And because she was such a formidable enemy, she would cause a massive number of victims if allowed to go free.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It would be too late by the time the city’s wicked grown ups decided to do something about it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If she wasn’t defeated here and now, there would be victims.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata clenched her teeth. Takitsubo had accepted Kinuhata’s plan to survive by having Mugino betray them and fight Norsitro, but that plan had mostly fallen apart. Now it was &#039;&#039;more important&#039;&#039; to silence her as soon as possible. Kinuhata was a dark side villain, not an agent of good or justice, but she still felt that need.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And then.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hey.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She heard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A voice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Coming from even further back than Kinuhata Saiai, Frenda Seivelun, and Takitsubo Rikou.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There must have been a different back entrance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Was that squishy sound all that remained of an unlucky guard who happened to be there?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Why would you go off and have a party without me?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A grin split across Norsitro Chartellenie’s face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, you’re finally here.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sweat poured from Kinuhata’s body.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Information Broker was supposed to be an expert in handling all forms of information, so why didn’t she understand what it meant for &#039;&#039;her&#039;&#039; to be here? Why didn’t she understand the great risk there?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regardless, the silver-haired girl spoke her name.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“&#039;&#039;Mugino Shizuri.&#039;&#039;”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 8===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The density of the air changed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In terms of human emotion, the most fitting word was probably “tension”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her presence made all the difference.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For better or for worse, Item…required Mugino Shizuri.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Tch. Super how did you know where we were?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino answered Kinuhata’s trembling question by flicking something over without even glancing in her direction. It was a tag even smaller than a kernel of corn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takitsubo took it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Is this a brand-name clothing shop’s anti-theft tag?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The good brands use really nice ones. They’re convenient, so they come in handy.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;“What is it, Mugino? Do you want to buy that?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;“Not really…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Was this why Mugino had been so fixated on feeling the clothing in that store? She had been interested in the anti-theft devices, not the fashionable clothing that cost 100 thousand yen each.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The silver-haired girl with her body contained in a neon green bondage outfit smiled thinly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Being a team leader is a challenge, isn’t it? Failure isn’t an option and that responsibility falls on your shoulders.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We’ve never met. Don’t act like you know me, trash.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata Saiai considered the situation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino Shizuri had arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The plan was for Mugino to suspect them and act of her own volition, but they hadn’t finished setting things up for that. Simply defeating Norsitro Chatellenie wasn’t enough. If Mugino learned of the current situation as they did so, Kinuhata’s betrayal would come to light when Mugino started asking questions after the fighting was over. Then there was no avoiding being vaporized by Meltdowner. So this was her chance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She knew that, but she still felt a cold sweat pouring down her back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The fingers of death were running along her spine. She could feel them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had to deceive and betray Mugino Shizuri.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Screwing it up would mean death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was finally showtime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 9===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They were in the outdoor field of the former fire fighter training ground in District 2.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A great mass of moving air created a low roar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
250 thousand drones were packed together like a black dragon as they moved together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They were all aimed at Mugino Shizuri alone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Information Broker laughed with her phone in hand. She held a hand over her mouth as she did so.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oops. I forget to ask.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Norsitro’s expression was as casual as if she were out at the supermarket and realized she had forgotten she needed to buy the one item that was on sale.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Would you prefer to be killed by my power or by the swarm? But asking now is a pain and it doesn’t really matter, does it? You’ll die a painful death either way.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino Shizuri gave a snort of laughter and flicked out a card she had pulled from her pocket. Before it could fall to the ground, she accurately struck it with a thick Meltdowner beam.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Silicon Burn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nearly 150 scorching electron beams thinner than hairs fanned out in front of her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Tch. So a scattershot’s not enough.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I am using 250 thousand of them with a total of 1.75 million. But if you think you can shoot them all down, feel free to continue going for a high score. Although I expect you’ll be crushed to death first☆”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No matter how many Mugino destroyed, the number was replenished, so the swarm never dropped below 250 thousand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And that wasn’t the main problem.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino Shizuri’s Meltdowner had failed to bring down the swarm. Even when using her special Silicon Burn. With Mugino’s attack a failure, nothing could stop the endless drone force. This time they charged toward Mugino as if aiming for a cross counter. En masse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A sticky blackness filled a large portion of the scene.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like a bottle of pitch black ink had fallen over on a painting of Academy City’s scenery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The black dragon devoured the blue sky. No, the swarm weapon made up of 250 thousand drones circled around together to attack Mugino.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to Frenda’s analysis, each one was as destructive as a grenade.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But there were 250 thousand of them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If they all attacked at once…it would be like taking a machinegun spray of explosive rounds head on!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Mugino!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Want to make bets how many seconds you’ll last?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Norsitro smiled in her neon green bondage outfit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following explosion felt like space itself were expanding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But Mugino wasn’t injured.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite the many, many explosions going off.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh? I thought you were all offense, but I guess not.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had a shield of light.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meltdowner normally flew sharply out as a straight line, but she must have instead had it spiral close to her hand. It looked like a round shield fully covering Mugino’s body.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The sharp fragments and even the blast itself were pushed back. Academy City’s #4 had extraordinary specs in defense as well, but Norsitro wasn’t normal either. The very act of forcing Mugino Shizuri to defend – that is, to &#039;&#039;threaten&#039;&#039; that bundle of arrogance enough that she thought she would die if she didn’t defend – was extraordinary enough.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Adding Mugino Shizuri to the fight wasn’t enough to defeat Norsitro Chatellenie.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All four members of Item together couldn’t end this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They were on the verge of death and cutting it close.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But that was more than just a risk. With a different viewpoint – Kinuhata Saiai’s for example – it could also be a one-in-a-million opportunity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Win or lose? Live or die?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No one knew what was going to happen, which created enough of an &#039;&#039;opening&#039;&#039; to take otherwise unthinkable actions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here, she could force it through.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She concluded a chance like this wasn’t going to come again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If she was going to fool that girl.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If she was going to get Mugino Shizuri to betray her, it had to be here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino Shizuri’s Meltdowner, even when scattered like a shower using the Silicon Burn, could not shoot down Norsitro Chatellenie’s 1.75 million drones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To put it another way, &#039;&#039;it wouldn’t look strange&#039;&#039; if something unexpected happened here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The countless wandering self-destruct drones sliced through the air as they charged in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now was the time to make up her mind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takitsubo and Frenda had both given Kinuhata some advice while they were pursuing the Kitchen Car truck to reach this place.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;“Saying you will ‘deceive’ her may make it sound like something you do while watching on from some safe place, but that won’t work. A safe zone on a deadly battlefield where anything can happen will look suspicious to Mugino.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;“In the end, the only way to truly trick Mugino is to risk your life. So you can’t be lying to save your life. This is Mugino Shizuri we’re talking about. She’ll notice immediately if you aren’t truly risking your life with the lie.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In other words.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…A liar wouldn’t do something so dangerous. Someone trying to trick me with a lie would make sure they were safe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By taking advantage of Mugino’s low opinion of traitors, Kinuhata could hide in her blind spot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So it had to be here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It had to be when Norsitro’s drones charged in and detonated at close range. It was something only possible for Kinuhata Saiai who stood outside Mugino’s Meltdowner shield and who Academy City’s #4 could not fully protect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She did it herself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She deactivated Offense Armor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Gh.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She felt a scorching heat. From her right flank. First she felt a twisting and tugging sensation on her skin and then her small body was thrown more than two meters straight back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…Gah…?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She rolled a few times and her small body was left trembling.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Oh…no.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Had her fear of Mugino made her take the act &#039;&#039;too far&#039;&#039;? An iron taste seeped into her mouth. She could feel something throbbing inside her. She felt badly dizzy, perhaps from the blood loss, and she couldn’t tell which way was up as she lay on the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She might really die here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takitsubo Rikou ran over, held the wound, dragged her behind cover, and waved her phone in her other hand while calling out to Mugino.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Mugino, she’s lost a lot of blood. Her breathing is heavy and her pulse is falling. My health management app is giving red zone warnings. Kinuhata won’t last like this.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Huh!? …Because she was near me? But how’d she get hurt so bad when she has Offense Armor!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a valid question.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“She was fighting before you got here. While protecting me. She was more worn out than anyone. If you use you power too much, you run out of stamina, right? That’s what happened here.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…So that was the scenario they were going with.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If they didn’t push this through while Mugino’s thoughts were still confused by the red blood, they couldn’t avoid her questions about what the three of them were doing at this mysterious training ground behind her back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Norsitro Chatellenie. In the end, she planned to kill you and take control of Item as a convenient system. Kinuhata was fighting with everything she had because she didn’t want that. She was fighting for you!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frenda sprinkled some kernels of truth in there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Information Broker didn’t just gather information – she was an expert in when to play her trump card. If they let her, she would start shouting the truth, but by establishing a different idea in Mugino’s mind first, Mugino wouldn’t listen to what the enemy was saying.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And while fighting back and looking irritated, Mugino Shizuri scratched at her head with a hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“~ ~ ~ Frenda!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Not happening. She must have lost around a liter of blood already. The lethal limit is based on body weight and Kinuhata’s the smallest of us, so she has the least wiggle room there. Pliers, wire cutters, screwdrivers, drills – I have a lot of tools on me, but nothing that can heal people. In the end, I think the most I have is disinfectant, bandaids, and bandages?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“1.5 to 2 liters is the limit even for a large man. Kinuhata is in serious trouble if she doesn’t get a blood transfusion immediately,” stated Takitsubo Rikou.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She never showed any emotion on her face, so she didn’t have to try and put on an act here. The listener would imagine their own emotional state mirrored back to them in her voice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So the more pressure Mugino felt, the more urgent Takitsubo’s warnings would sound.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They were being pushed back. Item’s leader clicked her tongue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Did you call that kid the Information Broker? From the way they move, I’m guessing those guys around her are firefighters.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“In the end, probably so.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That makes them a security team specialized in keeping her alive over defeating her enemies. …They should be prepared for any kind of emergency. Which means they might have transfusion kits for each blood type including Rh positive and negative.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Then what should we do, Mugino?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since Kinuhata couldn’t talk, Takitsubo organized their information from behind cover.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She showed Mugino the horrific values on the health management app.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We can’t even withdraw with her like this. Moving Kinuhata in this state will kill her. Fight or run, we need to start by giving her enough blood to save her.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…The numbers on the health management app were of course fake. The app was called Vital Jamming. It was a joke app that let you adjust some simple sliders to change the readings to show a minor cold, an injury, or even close to death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;“Look, these are the numbers on your health app.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;“This shows your current calorie intake and exercise level. If you keep this up, the results will be tragic a month from now. The changes will be noticeable in your figure. Especially in the hips and legs.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…Takitsubo already had it installed on her phone to make the threats necessary to get Mugino to go jogging.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Does that mean I’m still super alive enough she needs the app to make me look bad enough? Damn. And here I was getting all worked up thinking I might really die.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata felt regret. And embarrassment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was supposed to know this was all meant as a way to keep her alive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The #4 must have decided Meltdowner alone wasn’t enough. She moved Kinuhata, who was lying collapsed behind some twisted metal with no engine or electronics inside. It may have been used to practice rescuing people from a vehicle after an accident. A moment later, that cover was engulfed in a series of explosive blasts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino grimaced at the continuous noise and raised her voice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If they have transfusion kits, where do you think they would be!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Blood is a liquid, so it gets heavy if you have a lot of it. With A, B, O, and AB with Rh positive and negative for each, carrying around the liters needed to resuscitate people of any blood type would mean fighting with weights strapped to you. I doubt they would do that. But they never know when one of their people will be badly injured. In the end, they won’t keep it too far away.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or to put it more simply…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“At the very least, I doubt it’s in these fake buildings out here. If you want to find their transfusion kits, you’ll want to head inside the training ground’s main building!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They had an objective.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of course, they couldn’t actually have Mugino save Kinuhata.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Their goal was for Mugino Shizuri to betray her teammate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They needed the perfect genius of Academy City’s #4 to fail here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My, my. Oh, dear, dear. Hee hee.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This came from Norsitro Chatellenie a short distance away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was here too, so she had of course seen that delightful drama play out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino was already under the impression that Kinuhata had been injured while fighting for her, so even if the Information Broker accused the other three, it seemed unlikely Mugino would blast them with Meltdowner right away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As an information expert, she must have picked up on that mood.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So she knew nothing she said would get through to Mugino now that she was “the villain who harmed Mugino’s teammate”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In her neon green bondage outfit, the girl shrugged and operated her phone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Sounds like you have an interesting predicament on your hands, but it looks like sticking to the villain role will be the must fun for me. Speaking of, do you think I’ll just let you through?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Tch!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One movement of her finger moved the swarm of drones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not even Mugino Shizuri could push back the entire swarm of 250 thousand drones with a maximum of 1.75 million.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Several beams sliced through the sky, triggering a few explosions, but that wasn’t enough to bring them all down at once.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Mugino. Your wall doesn’t have to be sturdy. Even a curtain or net can catch and stop the flying drones.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Go to Frenda for little tricks like that!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The training ground facility included more than the outside field. Item carried injured Kinuhata down a flight of stairs and entered an underground field meant to simulate a subway station, but that didn’t last even ten seconds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a rapid series of explosions, the entire thin ceiling was torn away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You can’t get away.” The bondage girl was staring down at them with hands on her hips. “Training grounds like this are designed with wide open spaces underground. They’re fairly flimsy, which makes them easy to blow away. Although that means you won’t be buried alive below dirt, so maybe you should count yourselves lucky?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They didn’t have time to complain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The drones were like the downpour of flaming arrows meant to bring down a castle. More and more poured down from above, so Item had no choice but to run down the hallway and climb back to the surface at another exit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each individual phenomenon might not be so bad, but they couldn’t seem to regain control of the overall situation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They couldn’t escape the palm of Norsitro’s hand this way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Mugino. In the end, they’re here too!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Kh. Kill them to clear a path!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Large men, presumably former rescue squad members, emerged from behind vending machines, benches, and other hiding places. They were armed with unique weapons like firefighting axes and rope guns that launched the rope with noncombustible gas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On top of it all, Norsitro Chatellenie had an unidentified weather control power.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Everyone could tell things were only getting worse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They were tumbling into the abyss and fast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They could physically reduce the number of rescue squad members, but the number of drones never seemed to drop. No, Mugino and Frenda were shooting down quite a few of them, but that was like trying to change the weather by throwing stones up at the rain falling from the sky. It was a waste of time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And if they couldn’t stop somewhere, they couldn’t stop Kinuhata’s bleeding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They weren’t even supposed to move her right now, so what would happen if they tried to break through the enemy like this?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Mugino… In the end, we have to give up,” said an astonished Frenda as she scattered mines to slow the enemy down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…That Frenda could say something like this without it sounding out of place made Kinuhata suspect she was always adjusting her &#039;&#039;emotional distance&#039;&#039; even during ordinary conversations. Because what came next was a suggestion only allowed in the dark side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We can’t get a transfusion kit! We don’t even know if there’s one here, so we shouldn’t risk our lives looking for it. I get wanting to save Kinuhata, but you’ll be killed too if you keep this up!! This isn’t just about Kinuhata! If we don’t withdraw now, we’ll all be killed!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You’re the leader. So you decide,” added Takitsubo to drive the point home.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Item wouldn’t distribute the responsibility among its members. Stressing that this was Mugino’s decision applied pressure to her. That was a necessary part of setting things up for Mugino herself to betray Kinuhata.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They had no choice. There was no other way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It didn’t really matter how Mugino phrased it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But they couldn’t let her claim that they all made the choice together. So all of those psychological loopholes and outs had to be plugged up in advance. Item’s search and information expert showed no mercy here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Make a decision, Mugino. Without a choice from our leader, we will all die.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With that, she preemptively eliminated the option of not making a choice and letting them run out of time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now Mugino Shizuri had no excuse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since they couldn’t overwhelm Norsitro and acquire a transfusion kit right away, Mugino had only two options: abandon dying Kinuhata and escape or choose nothing and let Kinuhata die when time ran out. Either option would mean Kinuhata’s death, so this was a powerful card to use against Mugino Shizuri who despised betrayal more than anything.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata and the others had betrayed her first.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino Shizuri would never forgive a traitor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So for the three of them to survive, they had to cancel out their betrayal with Mugino’s betrayal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Mugino… In the end, I think Kinuhata wants to say something.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The stage was set.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takitsubo, supporting her bloody body behind unreliable cover, glanced over into Kinuhata’s eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She understood.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The final emotional push would be most effective…coming from Kinuhata herself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Forget…about me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata forced out the words as she gasped for breath.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This wasn’t an act.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was cold.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They hadn’t managed to stop the bleeding. She could feel her body temperature dropping.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She hadn’t been killed right away, but she had lost a significant amount of blood. She found she couldn’t speak any louder than this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Whether or not there’s a transfusion kit somewhere in the facility…it’s super too late for an injury like this. So please…get out of here. You’re wasting your time. You’ll only get more of you killed. So please…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An odd feeling filled Kinuhata as she spoke.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was deceiving Mugino.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Objectively speaking, this was a terrible thing to do.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But she was finding she no longer had to consciously lie to betray Mugino here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Strangely, she found she was speaking her true feelings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She didn’t want Mugino to die here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She didn’t have to lie about that, so she simply placed her current honest feelings in her words.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’m thankful… If you hadn’t taken me in, I’d probably still be on ice in the back of that lab. Gh… I was only meant to rot away without every leaving that place, so now I’ll just be returning to the earth. So you don’t have to feel bad about it… So hurry and go.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Yeah…)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The words left her almost on their own&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And while it happened, a thought came to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(If only I wasn’t carrying all this baggage. If only I had super been the kind of person who could say this without needing to sully it like this.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That could never happen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The initial assumptions were wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or maybe this was the final destination of the traitor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The end result for a selfish dreamer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The final refuge of a fool who couldn’t bear the weight of reality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I was only ever something extra you picked up, right? So you don’t need to bet the fate of Item as a whole on someone disposal like me. Go!! I’ll break their perimeter. I’m going to die anyway, so I might as well go out in a blaze of glory and take a ton of them with me. Cough… That’s a hell of a lot better than dying a meaningless death!! There’s no saving me now, but I’ll super use what time I have left to make Norsitro and her people regret crossing us! So get out of here already!!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She drove her point home.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata Saiai waited for Mugino to speak.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For her to say, “Fine then. If there’s no other option, we’ll leave Kinuhata here to die.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For her to admit, “I don’t want to die here, so if you’re going to die anyway, you take care of it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Reality wasn’t like the movies. Especially in Academy City’s dark side, a heartless response like that would hardly be a surprise. And because Kinuhata knew that, she bet on it happening. She bet her life and future on it. Bring it on. Because if Mugino didn’t abandon her here, this would end without her receiving the bargaining chip she needed. Then she would be accused of betrayal and reduced to charcoal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the distance, a neon green bondage outfit creaked and Norsitro shouted to them in amusement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What do you think you can do with that dying body? You can’t even act as a shield against my swarm, so how do you expect to break our perimeter!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Something exploded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The rusty smell grew stronger again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A sharp fragment must have grazed her because Mugino had a cut on her right cheek.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The drones were only as big as a paper airplane made from a flier, so they could only carry so much explosive. And Frenda’s expert analysis said they weren’t carrying anything special. Each blast was only about as much as a grenade, so the lethal range was about 10 meters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even so, a lethal range was a lethal range.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rapid-firing Meltdowner beams wasn’t enough to stop them all, so Mugino destroyed the base of a nearby fake three-story building to topple it and use the plywood as a shield. She could shoot down the leading drones, but that wouldn’t last forever. And even if she did defend against the sharp fragments, the shockwave still circled around the cover and struck her body.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A single bomb or bullet could kill. Far too easily. That was how it worked on the dark side. A total of 1.75 million? No, she couldn’t let her guard down with even a single drone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even so.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…Takitsubo.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“There’s still a chance, right? If I manage to get inside that building at the cost of my own flesh and blood and acquire a transfusion kit, we can save Kinuhata, right?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Maybe.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Heh,” laughed Mugino Shizuri.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And she gave her answer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Item’s leader held her palm straight out and stepped forward. Out from behind cover.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That’s all I needed to hear.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…Wait a second.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why isn’t she betraying me?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’m not running.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her voice wasn’t particularly loud.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But Mugino Shizuri did speak.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had to know how bad the situation was for her. She had toppled the fake building to create a shield because she knew she couldn’t shoot down all the drones with Meltdowner.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But a fake building was only a fake. While the drone attacks weren’t designed with penetrative power in mind, this wouldn’t last long. Once the consecutive blasts broke through, it was all over. And Mugino had stepped out from even that much cover.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And yet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She completely thew out the cold calculations of the dark side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I will never abandon a teammate and run.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A drone exploded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Close by.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata received no new injuries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because Mugino Shizuri stood in the way, clenching her teeth. A shard several centimeters across had lodged itself in her shoulder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was the borderline between life and death. If the truth came out, it was all over. That was why Kinuhata had put on an act, even if it meant losing more than a liter of blood.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was of course deceiving her teammate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But Mugino Shizuri’s heart turned out to be…unexpectedly sturdy?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Bring it, Information Broker!! I don’t know your name, but you will pay for underestimating Item. Did you think &#039;&#039;the&#039;&#039; Mugino Shizuri would let you get away with doing this to one of my teammates right before my eyes? You’ll be nothing but charcoal once I’m done with you!!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takitsubo fidgeted nervously with her usual lack of expression.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frenda Seivelun appeared aware how dangerous the situation was. She was frantically trying to work out a course correction from behind cover.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wait… In the end, why are you getting all hot-blooded right now when all our lives are on the line!? Don’t you know what Item’s leader is supposed to do!? Hurry up and tell us get out of here, Leader Mugino!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This is my decision to make and I will never betray anyone. I won’t leave Kinuhata hear, turn tail, and run!! It isn’t a matter of pride anymore. All the tools I need to save my teammate’s life are within arm’s reach. If I have to let these blasts tear the flesh from my bones, so be it. I’ve got plenty of excess flesh to offer. So I will get my hands on that transfusion kit!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino Shizuri’s Meltdowner could not shoot down all of the drones even with its scattershot. She could also use her power to defend, but that wasn’t its primary use and it was far from perfect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
More explosions erupted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She wasn’t critically wounded yet, but she was gradually being worn down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Academy City’s #4 was.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next head of the proud Mugino Family was.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All because Kinuhata Saiai had dragged her into this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino would have had more options here if she were alone. Meltdowner could pierce through any obstacle. She could have escaped outside the former training ground and then sniped Norsitro through the thick wall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But she couldn’t do that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because she couldn’t leave injured and bleeding Kinuhata’s side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because she would prefer to accept some disadvantage than abandon a teammate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because she wanted the life-saving transfusion kit no matter what.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As fearsome as she was, Mugino Shizuri wasn’t lying. She wasn’t deceiving anyone. She wasn’t betraying anyone. Yet she was being worn down for the sake of a dirty liar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While roaring that this was better than abandoning her dying teammate and escaping on her own.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You’re…kidding.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata Saiai was not Mugino Shizuri, so she hadn’t heard what the old butler Mujinayama said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But he had said that the best way to prevent betrayal was to prepare for it in advance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And he had said that suspecting your own people was a form of betrayal in and of itself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the person you suspected was not in fact a traitor and was instead a reliable ally who trusted you from the bottom of their heart…then your own suspicion of them would have branded you as a traitor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bull’s eye.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had decided to deceive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was no way around the fact she only had the one life. So she had decided survival even at the cost of betrayal was the right choice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But she couldn’t do it anymore.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Something was burned through inside Kinuhata Saiai.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Are you kidding me!? I super can’t stand it anymorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre!!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 10===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Someone was crying.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They were bawling loudly like a small child.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was the siren of doom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lies? Acting? Deception?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was past caring about any of that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frenda and Takitsubo were watching Kinuhata Saiai from a short distance away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was past the point of not knowing how to approach an unmanageable child. Theirs were not the expression a parent would give to their child. The look in their eyes was one of abandonment – of “sigh, now you’ve done it”. They also kept an invisible distance from her so they could stay safely out of the way of what was coming. They chose to trust only the sixth sense they had developed as villains.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The world seemed to rapidly pull away from Kinuhata in all directions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The weeping girl was left all alone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If was over for her once Mugino Shizuri discovered the truth. She had known that from the start. But Kinuhata Saiai couldn’t stand it any longer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her words caught in her throat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was aware how self-destructive this was.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some part of her brain was screaming for her to stop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But it was too late.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was game over whether she stopped here or spat out the rest of her words. Mugino Shizuri would never forgive a traitor. Once she was certain of her suspicions, they would not go away on their own.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But that was fine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She would feel better this way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She wanted to get it all out before someone could stop her and before she passed out from blood loss.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It would pain her more for this to end unresolved. That she couldn’t bear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I lied to you!! I couldn’t abandon that ordinary person who was being forced by the blackmailers to rob the bank, so I saved her knowing she was a criminal who had attacked you! Everything’s gone wrong since… But that’s no excuse. I made my choice and I’ve been lying to you super ever since!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Information Broker Norsitro Chatellenie gave her an icy look.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unsurprising really.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The last thing she would want after working so hard to gather up information on a scandal was for the target to self-destructively go public with it. The treasure held by the brown girl in the neon green bondage outfit was now worthless scrap. Of course she wasn’t happy about it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It was all my fault!! So that’s enough, Mugino! I don’t need a transfusion kit! Just get out of here. You super don’t need to get hurt here!!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She’d said it. She had come clean.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So Kinuhata Saiai managed a somehow twisted smile even as the tears spilled from her eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…If only she’d done this in the first place.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She still didn’t think it had been wrong to act on behalf of the ordinary person being threatened into committing robbery by the blackmailers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But what about the rest?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Self-preservation, self-preservation, self-preservation, self-preservation! Kinuhata Saiai had been ugly, dirty, and rotten. How could she possibly excuse her actions there?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Had saving the girl being forced to rob a bank really and truly been the same thing as lying to her teammate to save her own skin?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Saving someone was no excuse for betrayal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If she really had done the right thing, she didn’t need anything else. Instead of worrying about her own life, she should have accepted an honorable death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All of this was the result of failing to do that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had been weak, wretched, and yet greedy. Mugino Shizuri had been injured in her attempt to protect that traitor. She had shed her own blood. And it wasn’t going to end there. At this rate, Mugino, Takitsubo, and Frenda would all die. Item would be finished.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And it would all be Kinuhata Saiai’s fault.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An enemy and a traitor from within were two very different things.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata Saiai had been taught an important lesson.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She now knew she had fallen to a position more miserable than death. She was like an insect flipped on its back and unable to right itself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even when she had been raised in the back of an unofficial lab, wasting her life away unknown to the world, she had at least still had a human soul.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even when she had been taken in by Item and been asked to help with their dirty jobs, she had had her soul as a villain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata could tell she was having trouble enunciating. Was it her tongue or her brain? One or the other wasn’t working right after losing so much blood. She didn’t care which. This was far better than having the fear and pain rule her thoughts, preventing her from doing what had to be done.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’ll super handle the rest.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When had her soul been reduced to that of an insect?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She knew the answer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the moment she chose to give up on being human.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I know this is just more selfishness on my part, but I super want to take responsibility for my own actions. You don’t have to bother with any of this, so hurry up and go!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Academy City’s #4 monster…listened to it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It entered her ears.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It soaked into her brain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino Shizuri now knew what had happened. She had certainty. And she did not forgive traitors. Because she had been raised by the Mugino Family as a born gangster.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To reiterate yet again, Mugino Shizuri did not forgive traitors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What was the definition of a traitor?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What had Mujinayama said, after his long years of service to the Mugino Family and everything he had seen there?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Heh. Shut the hell up.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was no beam of light.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though Kinuhata was ready for it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino Shizuri placed her palm on the sobbing girl’s head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ignoring her own bleeding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If you can say all that and you can risk your life to come clean regardless of the consequences, then you’re no traitor.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino Shizuri’s bloody face bore a small smile.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was the kind of person who could smile here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The world had pulled away from Kinuhata in all directions, but she wasn’t alone. Someone had approached her and rubbed her head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You’re Item. I will never forgive a traitor, but I always protect my own.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata Saiai couldn’t get any words out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A moment later, a drone dropped down like lightning and triggered an explosion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 11===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Reality was heartless.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No matter what emotions had just been exchanged between Mugino Shizuri and Kinuhata Saiai, the silver-haired girl only had to input a simple command on her phone to send 250 thousand drones rushing in to attack. Each of those unmanned weapons was loaded with an explosive and the swarm made a merciless physical attack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was an explosion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But it happened far off in the empty blue sky. Within the dragon of closely-packed drones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
More explosions followed. The chain reaction continued on and on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The drones attempting to blow up Mugino and Kinuhata broke apart well before reaching them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wha-?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Norsitro Chatellenie was speechless.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apparently this was something not even the Information Broker understood.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…Like any aircraft, drones were at risk of breaking apart when pushed too hard. When attempting maneuvers beyond their limits, the combined force of the air resistance and shockwaves would rattle the main wings and cause the aircraft to shake apart. Within Earth’s gravity, you could never forget that it was &#039;&#039;unnatural for anything to leave the surface and fly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But what had caused this?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 250 thousand drones were electronically controlled by the parallel processing of 250 thousand CPUs and fully guided by Norsitro’s smartphone. She couldn’t see any reason for them to break apart on their own!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“A maximum of 1.75 million drones? With 250 thousand operated at once? Your swarm control system can break through even if a fair number are shot down by anti-air weapons?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This came in a casual, singsong voice. And a wicked one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino Shizuri spoke even while stained red by her own blood.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But all you’ve done is gather an ass-ton of the same craft, which means they all have the same weakness. I just have to find a single vulnerability and I win. And I had plenty of time to gather information while they were pummeling me. Your trump card was laughably easy to defeat.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, is that so? And what exactly are you going to do? Fry all their CPUs with an anti-ship EMP bomb? Or maybe pull an anti-air microwave cannon out of your ass? Fantastical super weapons are great for winning theoretical arguments, but they can’t protect your very real life. Do you have an attack method that can help you in the real world!?”’ shouted Norsitro in her glittering neon green bondage outfit. “You won’t run away? You always protect your own? …Absurd. Why would you &#039;&#039;make that kind of performative claim in front of me&#039;&#039;? Did you not look into the legend of the Information Broker? Yes, yes. You have my full attention now. And I won’t rest until all of you are dead!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But bloody Mugino gave a snort of laughter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Well, she does attack with lightning. I suppose they would be designed to withstand an electric surge.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That Norsitro would give an actual response to that kind of speculation showed how naive Norsitro was.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the enemy gave the answer themselves, she had only two options: scoff at the answer for being way off, or frantically try to throw them off because they made a lucky guess.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But if she hadn’t said anything at all, doubt would remain. Whether it was right or wrong, staying quiet had likely been Norsitro’s best option. But she couldn’t help herself. Even though this was like playing concentration and giving up your turn by flipping over cards for your opponent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Kh. I have the power to change the weather. The drones can fly through rain or hail without issue!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Sure. &#039;&#039;For unnatural weather you designed yourself&#039;&#039;, right?’&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino didn’t even glance over behind cover.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Standing out in the open, she pointed her index finger straight up into the blue sky.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You adjust the drones’ maneuvering based on the weather. There’s an optimal speed for sunny weather, an optimal angle for rain, and so on. When you know it’s coming, you can use your own program there. But with truly unexpected gusts of winds blowing between the buildings, the drones will tilt on their side. And during a sudden downpour, the apparent viscosity of the air changes and the main wings will rattle until they break.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was where Mugino had to strike to win.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meaning…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It comes down to the &#039;&#039;air’s viscosity&#039;&#039;. Or the apparent viscosity anyway.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She gave the answer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Saying it here wouldn’t change the result. She had only said it to assert dominance over her opponent in an act of villainous cruelty.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If I burn the air with Meltdowner, it will reduce the humidity, which dries out the air. But if I instead blast a water tank, the water inside will pour out, greatly increasing the apparent air resistance. It’s simple once you know the trick, but that is enough for the 250 thousand and 1.75 million drones to tear themselves apart. Pretty neat, right?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Kh… You mean…that’s what you did?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It might seem obvious, but that kind of obvious thing could be the most dangerous among all the unusual things found in the supersonic world. Quite a few of Academy City’s prototype fighter craft had ordinary air tear off their main wings because they were unable to withstand their own vibrations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The last thing you want is for someone else to alter the weather. That’s why you control it yourself. No matter how unnatural it might look, you needed to alter the environment for all those drones! Even if it meant using some strange power!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The maximum of 1.75 million was a certainly a threat, but using the exact same craft for all of them had been a mistake.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Securing multiple different models would have been a challenge when manufacturing, operation, and maintenance were taken into account. The simple financial cost and effort of operation would have been several times greater. But the choice had come back to bite her in combat. The world’s armies would not use a single standard craft just because it was the latest and greatest. Just like Academy City used the Two Wings and Six Wings simultaneously.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A single vulnerability would affect them all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Throw them off there and the entire swarm would be suddenly destroyed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The explosions continued. Mugino wasn’t aiming Meltdowner in that direction, but the drones couldn’t approach the former training ground where their targets awaited. They all broke apart on their own and their explosives detonated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino Shizuri sneered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She might fight for Academy City or the greater world beyond its walls, but she was neither good nor righteous.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was the smile of a villain who knew the taste of blood.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Now, that takes care of those annoying drones buzzing around. Which only leaves your power to deal with.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 12===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino Shizuri and Norsitro Chatellenie.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regardless of how many other people were around, this was their battle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Whoever won would win it all. Whoever lost would lose it all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Don’t expect a signal. I’m not flipping a coin or anything.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Did you not consider that I might kill you while you said that, fool?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They both took action immediately.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A thick beam burst from Mugino’s palm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The neon green bondage girl smiled.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was still alive and well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Several of the fake training ground structures had been burned and melted, but that was all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Meltdowner missed its mark?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No, did she bend it with a current rivaling a bolt of lightning!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was another beam of light.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Something powerful pierced through Mugino Shizuri from head to toe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A high-voltage current.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In fact, it was a lightning bolt of more than a hundred million volts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Kah…ah…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino’s breath caught, but she managed to stay on her feet, probably because her Meltdowner power controlled electrons. She had touched a torn high-voltage line outside the city without issue yet a shock at the District 3 bus terminal had briefly stopped her heart, suggesting her psychological state influenced the effectiveness of that ability far too much to be a reliable means of defense.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Mugino, that isn’t an esper power.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And Takitsubo Rikou made a judgment from behind cover.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was the natural result of repeatedly using the same trump card in front of that search expert.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“She is controlling 250 thousand drones at once. Each one is the size of a small paper airplane, but you can think of that like fanning the air with a fan 250 thousand times that size. The movements of that swarm can cause a gust of wind in a single direction, a swirling tornado, or even rapidly reduce the air pressure, allowing her to change the weather itself. She can even cause hail and lightning that way.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ha ha!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not at all bothered and even laughing, Norsitro Chatellenie immediately responded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Didn’t I tell you!? Oh, sorry. Your leader wasn’t here when I explained that, was she? Anyway, I said keeping them in top condition isn’t easy!! The Superb Starling weather control swarm claims to be a strategic weapon superior to nuclear warheads, so it had damn well better be able to handle this!!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meaning…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Academy City’s #4 Level 5, Meltdowner.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino Shizuri, leader of Item and born gangster of the Mugino Family, had been cornered this far by…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“&#039;&#039;You’re a Level 0&#039;&#039;?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Funny, isn’t it?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was laughing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Information Broker Norsitro Chatellenie was.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Was that sneer on a face more pained than a lost child’s directed at herself?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The villain who stands at the summit of Academy City’s evil, devours the city’s ordinary people, and has extended her reach into the world beyond the city…is no more than a Level 0. And I’ve fought back against this entire world because I hate being called that!! Yes, it’s true. I wanted to prove to everyone who’s ever laughed at me that I am not powerless and there is so much I can do!!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…She had been certain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino Shizuri had been absolutely certain that large-scale weather control was Norsitro’s esper power.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So she had thought this would end up as a battle between elites.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But it wasn’t.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was a lot messier.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“There was a major…incident.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The enemy was a true Level 0. yet she had challenged Item’s Level 5 and two Level 4s head on and driven them to the brink of death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Someone had to die and we all discussed who it should be. Everyone’s eyes gathered on me. Not one of them defended me. …That’s when I made up my mind. I decided I would survive even if it meant killing them all. I decided I would be the one looking down on every last one those shits who tell their pretty lies so they can pretend they’re good people!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Was that the trauma that led to her surrounding herself with a rescue squad that provided her with the power to survive rather than the power to kill?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had been labeled a Level 0.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had been abandoned by the adults’ systems and the children’s rules.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had been declared unwanted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But still she clenched her teeth and reached out her hand in that rotten quagmire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She wanted power.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She wanted to be strong.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The drone swarm could not approach Mugino. She used the viscosity of the air to bring them down before they could.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But that did not rid the 250 thousand drones of their ability to act like a giant fan to stir up the air, manipulate the air pressure, and alter the weather. Using that did not require directly approaching their target.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was a harmful technology, but Mugino was willing to recognize the girl’s ability to convert her desire for improvement into actual power.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was only if she didn’t arrogantly brag about her unprecedented achievement and hadn’t become a monster who endlessly devoured ordinary people’s lives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Power corrupts, huh?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I can’t respect a villain who reduces herself to a disposable rocket only meant to elevate the things she’s created. What have you become in your constant fear of being killed?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A battle between villains begins before the fighting actually starts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Whichever one was daunted and taken in by the other would fail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So those who lived in the shadows paid close attention to how they lived their lives even as they turned their back to the sun. They didn’t think twice about breaking ordinary laws and regulations, but they followed their own ironclad rules or Family solidarity and they despised lies, deception, and betrayal in their midst.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And once the 1.75 million drones and their weather control were stripped away, the win condition here was as simple as can be.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was the Information Broker.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino couldn’t let the bondage girl’s weapon get to her and she had to view her for who she really was.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…The lightning was powerful, but it wasn’t enough to take the life of Academy City’s #4. The rain and hail were powerful enough to engulf Academy City if used systematically, but they couldn’t immobilize Mugino right away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And no matter how much the winds and tornadoes might bluster, they couldn’t alter Meldowner’s electron beams the way they could a lead bullet or rocket.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino Shizuri grinned.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So would your one and only effective card be…the lightning? But that’s for defense, not attack. It’s true a current of more than a hundred million volts might be able to interfere with and bend my Meltdowner.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…Wait…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That’s right. If you’re so smart, you should have realized this ages ago. …If you &#039;&#039;only&#039;&#039; have the one effective card, coming up with a countermeasure is easy.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino didn’t have time for games.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata Saiai must have gone the extra mile in trying to deceive Mugino because it didn’t look like she had used fake blood. That meant her bleeding was real. In that case, Mugino’s goal was to acquire and use a transfusion kit. Norsitro Chatellenie was no more than a point on the way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So this wouldn’t be a skirmish.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If she was going to kill her, one major attack would do the trick.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Item’s leader announced her intentions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To make sure it wasn’t too late.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To save the life of her teammate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These parting words were not just for show.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You’re – dead – meat.”&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Chapter 3: Pulling the Strings==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 1===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was evening at the District 5 discount shop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tension ran between the four members of Item.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The presence of Judgment, who maintained order within Academy City, was nothing unusual. The city was full of schools and each one had a Judgment branch, so there had to be a decent number of them around.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not wearing the armband wasn’t unusual either. Judgment members were also ordinary students who studied at school and they would only don the armband when trouble broke out between students or they otherwise felt the need to work, so they would spend the majority of their time without the armband.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“(I don’t like the way she has her armband off but is in that sharp-eyed work mode. What is this? Is there some reason she can’t loudly announce her presence as Judgment? Like quietly setting up a perimeter before they capture a major target?)”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of course, the student-run Judgment wouldn’t be operating a large-scale arrest like this. The students were able to blend in better, so had they been sent in first to secure the location and set up a perimeter before the fully-equipped adult Anti-Skill officers barged in?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“(In the end, I don’t think Busty Glasses there has noticed us.)”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“(Is Judgment even super after us?)”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata’s question was understandable, but whether this was about Item or some other fugitive, they could still be caught up in this arrest. Those criminal girls couldn’t just hope for the best. Even a simple question about their address or occupation could prove dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“(Mugino, what do we do?)”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“(Let her pass us by.)”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was an awfully passive opinion for Mugino Shizuri of all people.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, this was the result of the unique education she had received from the Mugino Family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“(Killing her would be easy, but it would only work against us. It’s the same reason gang members avoid killing cops.)”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maybe setting up the perimeter surreptitiously was the priority here, but they didn’t seem to be setting up any baggage check points or metal detectors. So mixing in with the other customers would likely be enough to slip out the exit and escape.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or so Mugino thought until Takitsubo spoke up again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Mugino. Something’s bothering me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Huh?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Staying near the exit to keep an eye on the entire place is the usual tactic, but the Judgment girl over there has chosen a bad position. That decorative column next to her should be blocking a large portion of her view, but she doesn’t seem bothered at all.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That Busty Glasses, you mean? You sure she isn’t just too stupid to know it matters?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“She might have a power that lets her see through obstacles. Like Clairvoyance. …And something about her seems familiar to me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata just about turned around to get a look, but Mugino grabbed her head with a hand to hold it in place. Why would you try to hurriedly hide from someone who could see through any kind of cover?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino reorganized her thoughts based on this new information.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Judgment and Anti-Skill were preparing for a major arrest in this discount shop. They likely weren’t after Item, but as criminals they might end up as an unexpected bonus prize if they were caught up in it all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They couldn’t afford to be arrested here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No matter what.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This could be bad if she really does have Clairvoyance… If she notices us trying to sneak out, we’ll have no choice but to kill her.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 2===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Judgment and Anti-Skill were slowly and quietly completing their perimeter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They likely weren’t directly after Item, but with so many illegal actions in their past, they would be in trouble if they were caught in this big arrest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They needed to escape and quick.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And they had to do so quietly and inconspicuously instead of mowing down those arbiters of justice and making a break for it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So who are these overzealous Judgment and Anti-Skill people actually after?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Mugino, probably her.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takitsubo indicated a distant point with her gaze alone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A girl with a ponytail was sneaking around there. And her shopping cart contained…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That’s a lot of insecticide and bleach. More than a normal household would ever need.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That’s gotta be for sulfur dioxide. It’s an ingredient for sulfuric acid.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yeah. In the end, hasn’t there been a recent thief who keeps dissolving the dials and levers to safes? They’re known as the Bubbly Burglar.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So are we super going to create an opening there?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They didn’t need to arrange a detailed plan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The four of them got to work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frenda grabbed a high-end mobile battery from a shelf of phone products and slipped it into the fugitive’s pocket. While her hand was still in the girl’s pocket, she yanked on a loop of thin wire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A shrill roar sounded. It was a shoplifting alarm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The criminal herself had to be the most surprised.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Dammit. Why, why, why!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Warrant posted. This is Anti-Skill! This is not voluntary. If you resist, it will only add to your charges!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They must have decided the criminal would panic and take some other customer hostage if they stuck to “slowly and quietly”. Judgment and Anti-Skill rushed toward the source of the noise.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
None of them were paying any attention to Mugino and the rest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The perimeter had collapsed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“(This way.)”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino guided the other members to one of the seven exits.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Clairvoyance allowed its user to see through objects and view what was on the other side, so staying behind cover wouldn’t work. …Or so one would think, but that wasn’t actually true.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It comes down to the number of layers.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata tilted her head, so their leader elaborated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Clairvoyance has to be focused just like ordinary vision. If it could truly see through everything, it would also see through the person on the other side of the wall. That would be no different from not seeing anything at all, right?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, I get it. So she has to super focus it on whatever she’s trying to see.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We can use that to our advantage. If she has it set to view things through one wall, we can remain hidden behind a wall if we make sure there are three layers of cover between us and her. Takitsubo.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I can tell generally how far she’s viewing based on her posture and her center of gravity. It looks like she isn’t paying any attention to anything other than the decorative column in front of her. That means she has it set to see through one layer.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The discount shop provided plenty of obstacles. The section with cheap licensed character T-shirts hanging everywhere would be perfect for use against Clairvoyance. The one small space contained a large number of “layers” arranged haphazardly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The security cameras were operating.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino and the rest moved from cover to cover while making sure their actions remained natural enough to not arouse suspicion if the security footage were later reviewed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And as they did…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Mugino.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino immediately raised her guard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was one of Takitsubo Rikou’s “oracles”. Those were never good news.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The glasses girl has shifted her center of gravity forward a bit. She’s looking farther away. I can only guess, but I would say she’s changed to view through two layers if not more.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“(Nothing’s scarier than when they act on a meaningless whim like that! There’s no way to predict it!!)”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino clenched her teeth and got moving.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But not to hide behind the shelves. Instead, she walked right out in front of the Judgment’s Busty Glasses. At close range.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Judgment girl’s Clairvoyance was set to view through at least two layers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That meant Busty Glasses was currently &#039;&#039;seeing straight through any object that wasn’t hidden from her by at least one layer.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Judgment girl shifted her focus elsewhere without any apparent suspicion, so Item took that chance to walk past her. Less than a meter away from her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They reached the exit without being noticed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They found the ordinary evening outside.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, that nostalgic and gentle scene was disturbed by restless red lights.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Parked just outside were several special vehicles painted white and black and decorated with red lights and speakers. The four girls kept away from those as they took the sidewalk away from the store.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frenda looked down in her hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oops. In the end, I brought the ear pick with me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Super why do you care after they caused us so much trouble?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“There was an incident. One caused by Anti-Skill themselves. We had to leave in a hurry. If there’s a fire while you’re in the fitting room, they won’t arrest you for theft if you evacuate without changing back into your original clothes, right?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That said, did this mean they had finally escaped to safety?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takitsubo Rikou was as expressionless as ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We made it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I get the feeling Takitsubo-san has more super guts than any of us,” said an exasperated Kinuhata. Her heart was still pounding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Of course she does,” said Mugino like it should be obvious. “A while back, we had some traitors in the support team. Some pieces of shit were leaking information. Threats and torture aren’t always enough to track someone like that down. In the worst case, &#039;&#039;I was thinking I’d have to eliminate all of them to make sure we got the traitors&#039;&#039;, but then she comes along and solves the entire case on her own. …Takitsubo identified the traitors after asking the support team five questions. She got every last one with a measly five questions.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata looked at Takitsubo again, but the girl’s expression was still blank.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frenda sighed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So Clairvoyance, huh? As the Academy City Bomber, that’s one of the last powers I want to tangle with. On the other hand, it ranks pretty high on the powers I’d love to have.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We don’t know the exact conditions of that Judgment girl’s power, though.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Still, it couldn’t hurt to be cautious.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It likely came from being raised as a born gangster, but Mugino Shizuri didn’t seem to have relaxed her guard even after escaping.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This doesn’t smell right to me. I mean, do you really think we’d be caught up in this by chance?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Mugino. They were trying to arrest some other fugitive, so it isn’t like any of us made a mistake.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I didn’t say you did. But someone could have led that fugitive to our location. Without her even noticing.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“In the end, are you trying to say someone else secretly sent Anti-Skill and Judgment after her? In order to harass us?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They had to find out who had done it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The fastest option there was to start by learning why they had done it and what they gained from it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“In the end, has there been any real conflict within the dark side recently?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I don’t know. There’s always someone fighting somewhere.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frenda and Mugino began trading thoughts while Takitsubo kept her position a step removed and listened expressionlessly to the debate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Someone else had sweat dripping down her face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That someone was Kinuhata Saiai.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An unseen villain had encouraged Anti-Skill and Judgment to attack a target. While the villain themselves watched on from safety.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That sounded far too familiar to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wasn’t that very similar to how the blackmailers operated? She had thought that was over after defeating the “legitimate” VIP who acted as a Board member’s wallet, but could it be?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(O-oh, no. &#039;&#039;Could that still not be super over&#039;&#039;???)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 3===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Everything was peaceful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was the day after the weird incident at the discount shop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frenda had walked to District 13 between jobs. In the normal world, it was the time known as afterschool. However, it was still before three, so the sky was still blue. The weather was nice again today.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The trees lining either side of the wide street were dyed in reds and yellows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was already October.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gone was the heat that made her curse the sun whenever she walked outside. However, the ultraviolet was still there, so she couldn’t let her guard down just because it seemed cool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her 7-year-old sister was walking by her side and holding her hand. She was wearing her backpack on the way back from school.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Have you chosen a Halloween costume yet?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hmm?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frenda Seivelun looked up into the blue sky in thought.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halloween was still viewed as a temporary fad in Academy City and &#039;&#039;had yet to&#039;&#039; become an established annual event, but people were saying it would catch on before long. The manager of the elementary school dorm (a place where seasonal events were of the utmost importance) even dressed up in costumes on a regular basis. Furthermore, the Seivelun sisters’ blonde hair was neither dyed nor bleached. So whether or not it had caught on in Japan, it was a familiar event for them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And while the capable older sister used her eye movement to guide her younger sister’s eyes up toward the blue sky, she operated her phone in the blind spot this created.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a “poof!” of cloth inflating with air, she was wearing a full-body mascot costume.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Whoa!? Th-that’s so cool! But in the first place, what is it!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Costume outerwear. In the end, it’s equipped with a small electric fan.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Nyah,” cried the cat-like costume.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Clothing equipped with cooling fans was convenient, but it had been derided as ugly because of how it swelled out from within…so this had been invented to take advantage of that downside. It was normally worn as a thin hoodie or coat, but a phone app could inflate it into a costume. There was no need to stuff it with cotton or shape it with a metal frame.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…The biggest problem was the “so what?” question. In a normal life, there was no need at all to instantly switch between ordinary clothing and a costume. In the end, it had no use outside of magic shows and Halloween-like events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“In the first place, what should I dress up as?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“How about you let your handy sister sew something for you? Maybe a magical girl? Or Alice? In the end, just let me know and we can go select the material☆”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I don’t want yours. You have childish tastes.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 7-year-old was pouting her lips and complaining. Little sisters were a challenge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Here, here,” said that little sister as she tugged on Frenda’s hand. It only took an instant to switch back from costume mode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’m in elementary school now, so I can choose my own clothes. In the first place, how about we go there? I’m so grown-up now!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The sparkle in her eyes was something else.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had chosen the kind of cheap fast fashion shop found in just about any district of the city, but it seemed to look like an indoor amusement park to the 7-year-old.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And they appeared to sell Halloween costumes here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Halloween. It had not &#039;&#039;yet&#039;&#039; fully caught on in Academy City, but maybe the company wanted to create a one stop shop for everyone’s clothing needs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Event costumes weren’t bought on the day of, so they already had a special section full of colorful costumes: witches, fairies, maids, etc. But wait. Were maids really a Halloween thing?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“In the end, what type of costume do you want, my sister? A good guy or a bad guy?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Something cool!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So not cute then. But what did a 7-year-old consider cool?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The younger sister spoke with the college-aged woman who had been stocking the shelves. She was explaining what she wanted with lots of gesturing and smiling. This was one more thing she could do on her own now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next thing Frenda knew, several employees had gathered around to debate the issue. Eventually, the little sister returned to Frenda with a costume folded up in her arms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“In the first place, I chose this! Now to try it on.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That looks like an unusual costume with lots of zippers and bows. In the end, can you put it on yourself?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Thou shalt not treat me like a little kid.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 7-year-old refused any help and shut the fitting room curtain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…And since when did that little sister talk like that? Maybe she had picked it up from one of the employees. The righteous big sister glanced over and the group of female employees all averted their eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Huh? In the first place, this part goes like this and then I zip up the back, so…huhh?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The squirming behind the curtain suggested she was having a hard time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Figuring the wait was going to be a long one, Frenda grabbed a nearby Halloween costume.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Wow. In the end, how do you even wear this mummy girl costume? Oh, you wear something like beige full-body tights below. Like a figure skater. But your figure will still show through.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“All done, Onee-chan! Trick or treat!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The curtain flew open.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was dumbfounded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frenda Seivelun, who could shrug off seeing a dead body, was truly dumbfounded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Someone was posing in something like a bunny girl costume except with bat wings and curly horns. She had her hands up next to her face in a grabbing gesture and a tail was swishing side to side behind her hips.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She smiled and spoke in front of petrified Frenda.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Tah dah! This was the shop’s top recommendation. They said it was the most grown-up and cool one. In the first place, I’m dressing up as this suck-you-bus thing this year!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I-in the end, who was it! What stupid employee recommended my pure sister should dress up as a succubus of all things!!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hm? Suck you☆”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 4===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata Saiai and Takitsubo Rikou descended to the luxury tourist hotel’s first floor lobby.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, they were not there to enjoy some afternoon tea.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They had something to discuss without Mugino hearing as she lazed in the suite’s unnecessarily fancy bed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This is super bad.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apparently the blackmailer case wasn’t quite as over as they had thought.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If nothing was done, Sudori Sayu and the other ordinary people could become targets again. And if the events leading to saving those people were brought back to the forefront, Mugino could discover Kinuhata and Takitsubo had lied to her and acted behind her back. No matter the reason, betrayal was punished with execution. There would be no exceptions there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Which meant Kinuhata Saiai had something to do.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“They directed Anti-Skill and Judgment there to catch us. What if that’s just an extra component super added onto the previous blackmailer system?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Our previous solution will still work. The odds are good they will have a negotiator posted near the target to keep an eye on things.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Strangers were used to attack the target while the villain never left their safe zone. For the target, this could not be more annoying because defeating the physical attackers wouldn’t solve anything, but at least they could counterattack using the same method as before.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Then let’s capture some super random security robot around here and look for anyone walking around with five or ten phones.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was when Kinuhata’s phone rang. As if someone were watching them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She looked down at her phone’s screen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Number withheld.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not answering the call would ordinarily be the right move, but she pressed the talk button.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A young female voice answered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It may have been a girl around their age.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Good morning. Just making a business greeting. Now, do you know who I am? Given then timing, you should be able to guess I’m not just pretending to play a role in this.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Did she call us because she knew we’d super locate her? That means she wants to stay in control.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her “role” here was obvious.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But they didn’t know her name or what she looked like. They knew disturbingly little.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yes. In the end, you don’t know who or where I am. Which is good because that’s how my job works. However, not having anything to call me would be awkward for you, so…yes, you can call me the Information Broker. It isn’t inaccurate.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Are you the blackmailers’ boss?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hmm? That’s not quite accurate…but I am higher up than them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few questions immediately came to mind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But peppering her with questions wasn’t going to receive answers for all of them. She could end the call at any time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So what did Kinuhata need to ask first?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Why did you super decide to contact us? The incident should have ended when we defeated that legitimate VIP, so you could have escaped to safety by keeping your mouth shut and playing dead.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That’s the thing. I can’t just stop doing my job.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata glanced aside as she continued the conversation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takitsubo had captured a security robot a short distance away. While back behind a decorative column, perhaps to keep a ceiling security camera from seeing, she snuck up from the blind spot of the security robot’s camera lens and snatched it with both hands. Quite a bold move given they were in a hotel lobby.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Was she planning to trace the phone signals flying around even as Kinuhata spoke with the Information Broker?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then Kinuhata had to make sure the girl on the phone didn’t notice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, was that too subtle for you? I’m trying to say I’m pissed. Extremely.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…Apparently she wasn’t the type to hang up when provoked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And she got more talkative when pushed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She wouldn’t hang up as long as she still saw herself as in a safe zone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I am a seller. Or maybe ‘creator’ would be the simpler term. I create intellectual criminal plans like that blackmailer one and sell them to consumers. They view the plans, construct the actual criminal infrastructure, and acquire massive fortunes, while I take some of that as a usage fee for my crime. I get a percentage off the top. That’s how the world works. I make a living through intellectual property.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A breath of laughter followed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Don’t get upset.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It’s easier to get information out of the enemy when they think they have the upper hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That blackmailers were quite a lucrative client of mine. You slaughtered the goose that was laying golden eggs for me. I’m not going to be delighted about that, now am I? So I’ve decided to make you pay.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Do you think we’ll super sit here and take it? If we’re talking about who crossed the line first, you’re clearly the one who attacked ordinary people. That seems like enough reason to kill you if you ask-”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“&#039;&#039;I’ll tell Mugino Shizuri everything, dammit.&#039;&#039;”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The air froze.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A cold sweat poured down Kinuhata’s back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And then…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Just kidding☆ That’s my only trump card here. Use it and I lose all control over you. So don’t worry. I won’t blab that easily. But this means obeying me is your one and only path to survival. Does that clarify your situation?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of course Kinuhata was going to worry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But she did understand the situation now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What are you super going to have me do?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yes, what should I start with? What I want right now is the money I would have gotten from the blackmailers plus a little something extra for the trouble you’ve put me through. I hear you have quite the wonderful power, so you should be able to pay off this debt if you put it to criminal use.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Item, hm? An interesting arrangement you have there. For starters, you can launch a surprise attack on Mugino Shizuri and replace her as Item’s leader. That will turn you into an even more valuable pawn. You can begin repaying your debt after that.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Do you have any idea what you’re saying here?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh? I thought I was telling you to kill her. Did that not get across? Mugino Shizuri will find out eventually whether I tell her or not. If you want to survive and enjoy your life, you need to eliminate that deadly possibility. You already betrayed her once, so now you have no choice but to finish the job. Half measures aren’t enough. This plan benefits us both.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Launch a surprise attack on Mugino Shizuri.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kill her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So she could survive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But there would be no peace on that bloody path. The Information Broker was telling Kinuhata to become the leader “for starters”. That meant it didn’t end there. It was obvious these absurd orders would continue endlessly even after betraying, killing, and taking the leader position.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And, having knocked over and silenced the security robot, Takitsubo spoke calmly from nearby.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Are you sure that’s a good idea?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…Who are you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You’re planning to become a faceless presence on the phone who orders a dark side member to complete violent jobs so you can profit from your safe zone. But &#039;&#039;isn’t that butting in on the Voice on the Phone’s territory?&#039;&#039; …The villains higher up in Academy City will take action if you violate their territory and steal their profits. All of them will. Sounds like suicide to me, but it’s your choice.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The response was swift.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The call suddenly ended.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Super wait!” Kinuhata was flustered. “Why would you anger her before we figured out who she is!? She was willing to talk on and on as long as we kept her going!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“She’s an expert at blackmail. She’ll be better at protecting her privacy than a video streamer, so I doubt even the sounds audible in the background would help you track down her location.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takitsubo was her usual self.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If Mugino Shizuri discovered their “secret”, she would kill them. Some mystery girl held that trump card in her hand. And if Mugino of all people was going to dole out punishment, it would be something so gruesome it would go down in legend even on the dark side. Takitsubo would be able to imagine that even more vividly than Kinuhata.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Your life is more important. So first we need to keep that blackmail expert from acting. It’s true she can’t play her ‘tell Mugino’ card so easily, but there is still a chance she will. So I increased that to a 100% chance she won’t. That is obviously more important.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Is the Voice on the Phone really that super powerful of a card?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Not even we know who she is. That alone says a lot.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takitsubo didn’t hesitate to answer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This dark side search expert could be scary in a different way from Kinuhata.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It sounded like that Information Broker didn’t know anything about the Voice on the Phone. So she should be hurriedly searching for information on her identity right now. And she won’t dare to give us any orders until she feels comfortable there. If we manage to track her down and attack her before then, her threat will hold no power over us.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The logic seemed solid.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That means we super don’t know the actual time limit… It’s still a precarious situation.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Kinuhata.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takitsubo pointed over at a nearby wall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata peeked around the thin wall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frenda Seivelun was pressed against it, pouring with sweat. Carrying quite a few cans of mackerel. Had she been resupplying at a popup shop within the hotel? That girl was highly skilled but was sadly deficient in luck.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I-I didn’t hear anything…anything at all…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She wouldn’t look them in the eye.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The fluffy blonde girl was asking them to believe the implausible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other two Item members had been worrying themselves half to death over this, but Frenda was trying to retreat to a position of safety? Still holding her canned mackerel and sodas, she was now seated in a Chanel sofa that must cost god knows how much.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata Saiai and Takitsubo Rikou exchanged a look and a nod.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And they said it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We ended up super betraying Mugino together. Tee hee☆”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frenda tried to flee at Mach speed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Except Takitsubo Rikou wordlessly stuck out a leg to trip her, causing her to face plant on her very first step. Kinuhata did have to respect the guts it took to protect her canned mackerel more than her face. Even though denting the cans wouldn’t alter the flavor any.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Frenda, I can predict your every move.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“D-don’t trip the Academy City Bomber. D-d-d-do you want to trigger an explosion and reduce us all to charcoal?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Kinuhata couldn’t let that bank robber be killed because she was an ordinary person being threatened by the blackmailers, so she lied to Mugino and let the criminal escape, but wouldn’t you know it? Now a different villain who sold the design for the blackmailers’ crime has shown up. There, now you’re all caught up. And you’re one of us.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Noooooo!! Don’t tell me that! Don’t drag me into this! In the end, those three lines have ended my life!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frenda held her hands over her ears, but it was too late.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She tearfully shouted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You lied to Mugino and kept secrets from her!? In the end, that’s definitely getting you killed! You know she isn’t the type to listen to excuses and explanations!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Good point. Which means you’re at risk too,” continued Takitsubo with no change of expression. “You can run if you want, but if Mugino catches us, we will tell her it wasn’t just us and that you knew about it too. Then she’ll treat you like one of us.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mechanical lie detectors had their pros and cons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Did Frenda know about the betrayal plan? Between yes and no, it would say yes. It couldn’t dig into the details of when and how she found out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And she would have to be lucky indeed if Mugino was calm enough to use anything like a lie detector in the first place.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Mugino won’t be finding just one traitor. And after she finds two, do you think the third will be safe? Do you think she will calmly listen to your explanation when she snaps and becomes truly indiscriminate? Let’s hope she doesn’t blast us all with Meltdowner right away. But if you’re brimming with a baseless confidence that you alone will be safe, then feel free to head back alone and tell Mugino all bout it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frenda didn’t move.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had petrified.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…It was times like this that told Kinuhata Saiai that they really weren’t the good guys. Even when she risked her life and protected Academy City\’s peace, she found herself surrounded by something very different from justice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So the filthy villain spoke with a smile.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She delivered the finishing blow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If you don’t like it, blame your own idiotic actions and choices. Super welcome to the world on nightmare difficulty☆”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Noooooo! In the end, why would you do anything as ultra suicidal as throwing your lives away by lying to and deceiving Mugino!? Don’t drag me into thiiiiiiiiis!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She complained, but she had given up on running.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was obvious which direction Frenda Seivelun’s villain side was leaning. Bright and shining things like love and justice did not apply to Academy City’s dark side. You wouldn’t last by betting on the possibility of a miracle. It was Frenda’s trust in Mugino Shizuri’s violence that told her her life was over if she didn’t come up with a physical safety measure here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, that didn’t mean she was through talking.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“D-do you really think Mugino is going to forgive a traitor!? She’ll attack us even more harshly than she does ordinary enemies. I was framed that time I was thrown out into Tokyo, but even that was hard to smooth over! But this time you really have stepped on the landmine! We’re dead for sure!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This wasn’t about Mugino Shizuri’s personal preferences. It was apparently the ideology and belief of the Mugino Family as a whole. One of their own, Sakuya-sama, had tried to take the family head’s life, but where was she now and what was she doing? She had completely disappeared.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“She’s a daughter of the Mugino Family. That born gangster doesn’t forgive traitors, so her punishment will be thorough. In the end, you’ll wish you’d never been born!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Then let’s super use that. Say what you want, we can’t ignore this Information Broker thing, so we aim for two birds with one stone.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata hid her fear to get the response out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frenda didn’t follow her thinking, so she replied with a tremor in her voice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“U-use it how?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Mugino super doesn’t forgive traitors, right? Then during our fight against the Information Broker, we &#039;&#039;have Mugino betray us.&#039;&#039; Then that born gangster will feel indebted to us and won’t be able to subject us to that terror show of unilateral slaughter. And if the gangster logic is that deeply rooted in her, she won’t be able to ignore that debt. Then if we finish off the Information Broker, this will all be over.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That could work,” said Takitsubo after holding her index finger to her slender chin and thinking through it. “My top priority is Kinuhata’s survival after stepping on that Mugino landmine. I won’t let anyone in Item be lost. Canceling out betrayal with betrayal would do that. In fact, I don’t see any other way for everyone to survive, but what do you say, Frenda? Do you have a better idea?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frenda Seivelun’s mouth formed a small triangle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It would work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But something felt fundamentally wrong about it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Aren’t you just saying that finding a real answer is too hard, so you’re just going to set a trap for Mugino? In the end, that crazy idea seems like even more of a betrayal to me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Between the Lines 2===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An hour before, when the call to Kinuhata Saiai’s phone was made.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There were many different types of plastic pools out there and they were not all meant for little kids. The more expensive ones were as large as 15 meters across.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This one was usable in October thanks to the dozens of tons of water being warmed by the large external pump that was constantly circulating hot water. Although that seemed to make it more of a large open-air bath than a pool.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A girl with silver hair and dark skin lay on one of the nearby beach chairs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was around 14 and wore a two-piece swimsuit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The Voice on the Phone? I don’t like the sound of that.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wouldn’t that be the dark side intermediary and point of contact who is partially considered a legend? I don’t know if they really exist. Could she have been making that up to buy time?” asked the large man standing next to the beach chair.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The brown girl shook her long hair and chuckled.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I don’t actually need to track down their identity. All I need to know is if they’re getting involved in &#039;&#039;this&#039;&#039;.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was not alone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She ordinarily did not dirty her own hands. So she did have some burly soldiers to do her bidding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She tugged down her sunglasses with a finger and glanced up at the person standing right next to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“More importantly, we are now a step away from completing our criminal infrastructure. This is always when trouble decides to present itself. I need your Dark Rescue Squad on standby for some rough work.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dark Rescue Squad.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Armories, drug factories, garages for repainting or swapping the plates on stolen cars – criminals tended to handle dangerous objects a lot more often than ordinary people. One mistake and they could be caught in a fire or explosion. But even if they were engulfed in flames, their life was over if they called the ordinary fire fighters for help. They might be rescued from the burning building, but they would then be handed over to Anti-Skill.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Which was why&#039;&#039; the dark side had its own rescue squad that specialized in dangerous disaster sites.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Rescue Squad would rescue any criminals who had a contract with them, use the flames or explosion to destroy the evidence, and transport the criminals to safety before the actual fire fighters or Anti-Skill arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Their origins were similar to that of black market doctors. That illegal industry existed because hospitalization would lead straight to arrest for certain types of injuries. This was the same idea but for fire fighting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They were the girl’s pawns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Instead of simple destructive power or lethality, their were experts in enacting a safe and sure withdrawal. They were the trump card for survival rather than death. That she had chosen them in particular hinted at one aspect of the girl’s personality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Well, they seemed sick of charging into disaster sites full of fire and toxic gas for no more than the cheap contract fee those thugs pay. It wasn’t hard to get them to follow when I took advantage of that displeasure.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She would complete a new criminal system before long.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then each member of the Dark Rescue Squad would receive plenty of money. Unlike a bank robbery, this wouldn’t be a one-time payment. They would regularly receive that money for life. None of them would be hurting for money ever again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Dark Rescue Squad members were all itching to get started, but the girl alone smiled icily.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The girl with long silver hair and dark skin sang softly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Watch out overhead.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s hard to pick up by ear, but the mechanical sensors can tell. I can hear rotors far overhead. …And given how quiet it is, it’s probably a Two Wings attack helicopter.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Two Wings was an aerial weapon with a complicated development history. The official adoption competition had been won by another model, so it had no official model number. …But some VIPs must have decided to take advantage of that because it was seen in &#039;&#039;unofficial&#039;&#039; use like here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nothing would be recorded in the official records, so no authorization was needed to make an attack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The higher levels of the dark side operated almost exclusively through paper documents and digital databases, so it was said a lot of them didn’t even know it existed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Did that qualify as a sort of stealth?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Still lying on the beach chair, the girl whispered in a singsong voice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“A VIP blackmailer’s obvious crimes made for nice camouflage, so it’s a shame really.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Information Broker girl sighed in exasperation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By voicing the image in her head, she gave concrete form to the vaguer parts of her thoughts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But with that shield broken, our top priority is keeping our names and appearances hidden. Which is why the most troublesome enemy at the moment would be Kinuhata Saiai and Takitsubo Rikou who broke that blackmailer shield and are now trying to track down our identities.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You mean…?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yep. Now we crush them to keep ourselves safe. That’s our top priority.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The most comforting thing for servants was clear direction from their superior. The more succinct the better.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mincing your words because of the danger would not earn trust. Trust was born by being open and honest even in a dangerous situation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…Even if you were actually hiding the real truth below that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you were going to be dishonest, you had to stick to it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As long as they never found out, that trust would remain intact.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We need to make sure the blackmailers remain the &#039;&#039;only&#039;&#039; new social problem plaguing Academy City. We can’t allow them to look past that and discover our business.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The girl removed her sunglasses and got up from the beach chair.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Slowly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Now, let’s get started. First stop: a certain luxury hotel in District 5.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Chapter 2: A Maple Syrup Kind of Day==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 1===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino Shizuri looked puzzled.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Item was in their luxury hotel suite in the college-filled District 5.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The basic furnishings were no longer the only interior decorations there. Specifically, something new was hanging by the window: a mesh pattern box of less than 15cm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Frenda, did you buy some new product again?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yup. In the end, I have a curse where I’ll die if I don’t buy all the latest trends.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The small fluffy blonde haired girl answered while sinking into the one-person sofa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frenda Seivelun appeared to know a logical explanation wouldn’t work so she was trying to dodge the issue with meaningful-sounding words. It may have been a variant of chuunibyou.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Short, refreshing chirps were coming from the box.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wait, there’s a super bug in there?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata’s slight surprise was not the result of her laboratory upbringing(?) leaving her unable to touch Mother Nature’s bugs. She was more concerned with the responsibility that came with caring for a living creature. After all, the illicit nature of Item’s work meant there was never any guarantee they could return home after stepping out the door. If they wanted to be soothed by the presence of a puppy, they had to either go to a pet cafe or watch some animal videos.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But Frenda smiled bitterly in the sofa and waved her hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No, no. In the end, it’s just an audio device. It’s called a bug cage speaker.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The thing has around thirty thousand different autumn insect sounds in it. The internet is flooded with people insisting they got their best sleep in years leaving it on overnight.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ugh. Thirty thousand? You mean there are super more autumn insects than the bell cricket?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Don’t try to imagine it, Kinuhata. There aren’t actually thirty thousand of them stuffed inside that small box.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The point was to create an autumnal mood.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“They apparently included some pretty rare ones. Like the jungles of Southeast Asia and Central America where millions of species live.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“How is this any different from having your phone play the sounds?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino was quick to smash Frenda’s dreams.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maybe that was how it felt for people who weren’t interested. Those people would also casually reject an LED lantern that let you listen to a music subscription service over your wireless LAN. When no one saw the appeal of these silly products, it could be surprisingly painful for the person who had brought it along.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Frenda.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“In the end, what do you want, Takitsubo?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wasn’t there a rumor about people suffering brain damage after listening to the chirping of a special cricket in Central and South America? Y’know, like a natural ultrasonic attack.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sounds of people scrambling around in a hurry continued for a bit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Modern electronics did not come with a paper manual. That wasn’t an issue most of the time, but it meant you lacked the necessary information when something did come up. They all began searching on their phone, found a site gathering the manuals for different manufacturers, realized that was a fake site meant to get the user to set up their smart electronic device in a way that leaked their personal information, and wound up back at square one. In the end, Frenda ended up looping a few times through the same dialogue with the manufacturer’s crappy official AI chat before she finally arrived at a list of the insect noises included in the device.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There were around thirty thousand of them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“In the end, what’s the actual name of that special cricket from Central and South America!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Um, I’m searching for that too. Is this it? I found the District 23 insect museum’s site. The cricket is called…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This super lets you do a site-wide search by tapping here. That cricket name…is not among the thirty thousand on the list.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the end, there was nothing to worry about.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If only all the world’s problems were that way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Nhh…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino Shizuri raised her arms and stretched.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was generally like this after they were paid and didn’t have to worry for a while.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’m bored. …How about we go clothes shopping?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Mugino, I really think you’re showing signs of a shopping addiction.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 2===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The grown-up District 5 was full of college students.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Item arrived in the luxury hotel’s first floor lobby.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The place had a distinctive air to it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Whoa. In the end, there’s even more now. They’ve got bite-sized mackerel pizzas!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Mugino. That says they have salmon mince. Is that actually any good?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Only one way to find out.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Large hotels like this usually had restaurants and souvenir shops on the lower levels. All the English words like “lounge” and “gift shop” made it seem fancy at first glance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among all the restaurants, curry rice was weirdly prevalent. And the many souvenir ships meant even the little snacks available for sale tended to be on the fancier side of things.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Super what were you hoping to shop for?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I said clothes, didn’t I?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…The clothing stores and beauty salons in fancy hotels like this tended to be for people preparing for a wedding or other formal event, so they likely didn’t carry the kind of clothes Mugino was interested in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So they left the hotel and walked along the main street of that grown-up district.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They were met by a lazy afternoon mood.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apparently it was still too early for the college students to be out enjoying themselves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There were quite a few luxury brand shops who were likely known all around the globe. Item was here for clothes, but it seemed likely they would end up bringing home shoes, bags, and jewelry too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Mugino walked past the large mirror placed next to a fitting room, something activated and some unfamiliar clothes were superimposed over the Mugino in the mirror.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The hell?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Mugino, this says it’s a virtual fitting service.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino tried twirling slowly on the spot…and the clothes followed her movement. So this wasn’t just a product image being displayed over her body. It could handle all 360 degrees. So did it use a 3D model instead of a photo?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That did seem more convenient than having to change into each individual outfit…but why did she feel so disappointed?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like it had ruined her fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It reminded her of how she felt seeing the ad for a rare natural hot spring in Academy City where the cutting-edge high-tech bath could cleanse your body in just three seconds. On a day off, she preferred taking things easy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Feels more like they’re trying to get people talking than providing a practical service. Do they only care if people make a big deal about it?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This says it instantly scans your figure with microwaves and then chooses the best products for you. Incredible.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino frantically covered her body with her arms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takitsubo expressionlessly tilted her head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Look, Mugino. It shows an assessment and some brief advice on the side: ‘we recommend clothing that obscures your hips and legs.’ ”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That’s none of their business!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino Shizuri wasn’t the type to lash out at a machine, so she could only blush and yell. An accurate program could provide a false 2D moe smile but couldn’t provide any flattery at all, so it could be cruel at times like this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also, a top-of-the-line brand would already have its regular customers’ data on file, so was this kind of toy even necessary? Formal clothing above a certain level of quality tended to be tailor made, after all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…In that sense, this may have been a unique oddity of the college-filled District 5 where pricey brand-name products sold like hotcakes, but the customers were easily influenced by the current trends and thus regular customers were hard to come by.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino raised her voice as if to reclaim control of the situation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Anyway, we need to choose some clothes. Let’s make it into a game. It can double as a periodic test for working on the dark side. Let’s find out if you can take everything from the present situation to the current trends into account to choose clothing that will let you blend in. Oh, and if you choose an outfit that stands out for no good reason, you get punished, okay? Anyone who makes a joke to avoid giving a serious answer will soon regret it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frenda froze in place halfway toward grabbing a mini-China dress.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apparently going the silly route wasn’t an option here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Are there any super rules?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Good question. For now, try to keep it under a million per outfi-”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Someone oughta strip this filthy criminal super naked and chuck her outside.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For some reason, this pissed off Kinuhata Saiai. Even on the same team, they viewed money very differently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And so the Item girls began to argue what would best suit each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They ended up visiting many different luxury brand stores.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s my time to make the rules? Hmm…I don’t really care as long as the next person brings me whatever they think I would look best in.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That will super leave you with no way to refuse wearing a naked apron.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata made sure Takitsubo understood that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You could never assume basic human decency on the dark side where people tended to take a cynical view of everything from donation boxes to the Board Chairman at the top of the city. Especially when Frenda was super grinning in the corner of Kinuhata’s vision!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The game rules they thought up on the spot were full of holes, so they took a lax attitude where they could simply fill in the holes whenever they ran across one. It helped that the idea was to make the shopping more fun, so there was no real need to strictly follow the rules.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You’re next, Frenda. What rules do you want?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ooh, ooh, ooh!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frenda Seivelun raised her hand and leaned forward.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An idea had apparently formed within her while she watched the other games.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Three of us will split up and choose the clothes they think look best on the guest. Then the guest gets to choose which one she likes best.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Eh? You mean we’ll be super taking them out of the store?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Kinuhata. Let’s use that thing. The mirror that acts as a 3D fitting monitor. If you enter the number, it can apparently display products from other stores.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Huh, and what happens afterwards?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Whoever’s outfit gets last place has to buy the best outfit. In the end, how does that sound?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That did sound more like a real game.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The four of them excitedly prepared their outfits on the tall, mirror-like screen, but what they were really doing was spending obscene amounts of cash. The dark side girls behaved inappropriately in a different way while enjoying a day off.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And their outfits ended up as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino wore a thin dress with a thick, ankle-length coat worn over it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Well, it’s not great but it’s not bad either. I feel like you could have been a little more creative.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takitsubo wore her usual track suit, but with the cold-resistance boosted by a knit hat, earmuffs, and a jacket wrapped around her hips. The short lines of LEDs hidden in the lining were built-in heating elements.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s fluffy and warm.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frenda wore a white jacket and light blue miniskirt combo. The gold decorations here and there made it look more like something from a military band or parade than a school uniform.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ehh? In the end, is this for a marching band? I don’t really play any instruments, though. And doesn’t the gold make it sparkle a lot?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata wore sportswear composed of a short-sleeved shirt and bike shorts. But she wore an old-fashioned leather pilot’s jacket over it, giving it a mixture of old and new.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This jacket won’t restrict my movements in a pinch, will it? I super hope it won’t rip suddenly.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They had their complaints, but “it’s just a game” proved to be a powerful argument. They might have taken ages to choose something on their own, but this let them decide in no time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino Shizuri reached for a random garment in one store and rubbed it with her fingers as if checking for something. It was available to try on, but the price tag was over 300 thousand yen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takitsubo tilted her head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What is it, Mugino? Do you want to buy that?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Not really…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, Frenda and Kinuhata were running around. The youngest member was being chased by the big sister who was howling about how they still had to choose underwear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then Mugino spoke up without warning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Okay, let’s also buy a few dresses.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hm? Super why?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 3===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Night had fallen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apparently long-range attacks these days did not require occupying a building rooftop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino made a final check over her radio while climbing the emergency stairs with baggage in hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Frenda, I haven’t heard anything from you in a bit. Did you fall asleep?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“In the end, I wish… What is this thing? The memory foam yoga mat you bought is just so comfy. I can feel myself drifting off as soon as I lie down on it…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Frenda, I know you want caffeine, but you shouldn’t drink so much black soda,” said Takitsubo, also on the other end of the radio. “You’ll regret it once you need to pee and can’t take time to go.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They didn’t have to worry about the ordinary security. Kinuhata Saiai had secured a line of fire by cutting out a square of the tempered glass window in an unlit rental conference room located on the bottom ten floors of a towering skyscraper.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino set a device down on the table and got to work constructing and making adjustments. Altogether, it weighed 30 kilograms, so the plastic and aluminum table creaked below it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata was already fed up with it all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was wearing a frilly party dress and carrying a fancy handbag too small to even fit a bento. It didn’t suit her at all and she felt like she was dressed up for the Shichi-Go-San.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s not like we’re going to be sneaking in, so is this dress really super necessary?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Illegal security like that will set up maybe three lines of security using plainclothes guards and parked cars around the building. Getting close without being noticed requires a disguise.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata twirled something on her index finger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Including these pervert butterfly masks?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s that kind of party – a masquerade. Think of it like the 16th century version of an anonymous hook-up app.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apparently Mugino wouldn’t be using Meltdowner this time. Probably because it was too powerful. Her ability wasn’t great for targeting an individual within a group.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata’s role was support.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By aiming a directional gun mic at the distant party venue, the festivities within reached her earphone loud and clear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Those agrobuildings are going to make a fortune.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But buying an entire building is a steep initial investment…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Global climate change will be along soon. Then the price of fruits, vegetables, and grains will all rise without end. But anything produced indoors won’t be affected. By cheaply growing crops that can be harvested more than 20 times a year and then selling at those higher prices, you will make back that investment in no time.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If it doesn’t use natural sunlight, how will this building be powered? If fuel and heating costs also rise, then the profits will evaporate.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What does the price of petroleum have to do with Academy City’s wind power?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Damn those masqueraded tuxes and shoulder-baring dresses. They were all discussing sketchy investment opportunities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Academy City was supposedly a happy and blessed city, but that assessment was badly skewed by the average income and savings data of a tiny minority that made up less than 0.1% of the population.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The city showed off its perfect image by silencing the people who were drowning in debt and being threatened by blackmailers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The place is called the Ceremony Hall, right?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“One of Japan’s unique church-like buildings that are not in fact churches. It’s used for weddings and such.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino didn’t even need to look through the binoculars equipped with targeting support functionality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The white building was impossible to miss thanks to the powerful lights illuminating it from below. It stood out clearly from the surrounding darkness. It looked to be around the size of a school building maybe? It was supposedly meant to look like a church, but it looked sort of like a Greek temple to Kinuhata. Maybe a side effect of being made by science-focused Academy City.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But it’s secretly also used for mysterious parties that can’t even be held at the extraterritorial embassies or consulates.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s not some super sex thing, is it?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This time it’s an auction. And not even one where they buy and sell humans. I believe it’s about the right to use trigger capsules.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Trigger what?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“A drug that causes a painless death as peaceful as drifting off to sleep.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata’s focus shifted away from the gun mic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She looked to Mugino and saw the #4 chuckling.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Super really? These rich assholes have made enough money for multiple lifetimes and the final luxury they look to…is how to kill themselves?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I doubt many of them actually want to die right away. When people feel like they’re already dead – or like they can escape into death if things get bad enough – they can run their business much more boldly. It’s a hollow and suicidal thing, but the psychological effect does have some beneficial results. Haven’t you heard of rich people in other countries who have a handgun and a small bottle of whisky hidden in a desk drawer?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That super wasn’t just something the movies invented?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Were they wearing those pervert butterfly masks for the masquerade in order to hide their sickly pale faces, or because those corporate executives couldn’t let anyone else see their weakness?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Either way, it felt like a concern from another world to Kinuhata.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was an unthinkable luxury on the dark side where you would be ruthlessly killed if you got careless.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Mugino.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takitsubo spoke over the radio from her position in a skyscraper located in a different direction entirely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It probably wasn’t even visible from here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The target has emerged onto the roof. As per our intel, he is empty handed and appears to be receiving something from a drone to get it past the baggage inspection at the front entrance. Probably a weapon.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I have a visual too. Okay, let’s get started. Kinuhata, put the gun mic away. This is about to get noisy, so you’ll burst your eardrum if you keep listening in like that.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Super yeah, yeah.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s time, everyone. Frenda, say hello.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Takitsubo, stop rubbing my butt. In the end, I’m awake, okay?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Orange sparks flew in the distance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
.50 caliber heavy machinegun bullets tore away earthquake resistant metal fittings. An air conditioning unit larger than a vending machine fell to the side, blocking the metal door leading back inside from the rooftop. At this range, Mugino couldn’t hear the sound of the metal being destroyed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Isn’t it super backwards that a big, full-auto machinegun can hit better than a specialized sniper rifle?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The gun alone weighs more than 35kg. Which doesn’t count the spare barrels and the bulky ammo belts. In the end, you’re about the only person who can run around the jungle or desert carrying this heavy-ass gun.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Either way, this prevented him from reentering the building. Unless he could lift an industrial air conditioner unit weighing over 300kg, that is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino Shizuri switched her radio to a different frequency.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He didn’t have the equipment to do anything to them even if they gave away their position.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Can you hear me, Private Casino?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Eek!? …No way. Is that…Mugino Shizuri?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“And you would be the bookmaker who rakes it in through the gambles you run. Tonight you were taking bets on how many people would survive if a skyscraper went up in flames. Isn’t that why you’re there? …To set up the bomb you stole from where Frenda had set it up elsewhere?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was smiling.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino Shizuri was grinning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’m thankful really. I never did like the way you move money around using the deaths of ordinary people while insisting you never directly harmed them, but it would cause far too many problems if I killed a colleague who hadn’t made himself our enemy. …So I really have to thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving us a reason to kill you without taking any blame.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wait. No, wait! Yes, I took that bomb, but this will benefit Item in the long term!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino Shizuri ignored his plea and tapped her phone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 30kg mass on the table gave a roar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Next, a muffled “bwoof”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the distance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Something like a thick smokescreen spread out on the building rooftop. But that building was being used for an illicit night party, so the blast-resistant structure prevented any of it from reaching the interior. Meltdowner had &#039;&#039;too much&#039;&#039; penetrative power to supply so light a touch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unlike the Frenda-Takitsubo team, the Mugino-Kinuhata team did not have a sniper weapon set up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Theirs was an automatic grenade launcher that fired 40mm objects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the grenades it used were not normal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Really, it’s probably partly because this wouldn’t be as fun if he died right away. The white phosphorus in there is highly toxic and burns the skin on contact. …I suppose he’ll be slowly smoked to death by the high-temp poison gas. This means this is super what would’ve happened to me if she found out about the bank robbery. Offense Armor isn’t all-powerful. Ugh.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was something severely wrong with the world since those were officially designated as smoke grenades rather than lethal rounds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If she wanted to, Mugino could have continued firing and covered the entire roof, but she didn’t.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As large as the building was, its roof was still a limited space. No matter where he ran, he would still be caught in the white phosphorus smoke, but the longer he could struggle, the longer his terror and agony would last. The duct filters could apparently block the white phosphorus, so everyone inside the building would be safe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“In Item, we do not forgive traitors,” murmured Mugino. Looking unamused.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She waited until the target had collapsed and ceased moving.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If we head back now, it’ll be past three. How about a late night meal?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Meatloaf! In the end, I could really go for some meatloaf.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Eh? That super sounds like a specialty dish. Are any restaurants open this late?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Kinuhata, they’re having a special event at a gyudon place that stays open late. They can probably manage something with the hamburger meat they use for the cabbage roll and loco moco bowl.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You want to talk about ground meat right now?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They weren’t cleaning up the body this time. Because this job was meant as a message to the dark side to keep anyone else from trying what he pulled.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Okay, let’s contact his number 2 or 3 and have them pay us for our trouble. We gave them the top spot without them needing to bloody their hands, so while they might act furious, we all know they’re smiling on the inside.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Mugino, and if they refuse to pay?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Frenda can handle it. She blasts them with a drone and we contact the next person down the line. It’s all the same to us if it’s their number 4 or 5 who ends up paying us☆”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino sprayed the barrel with a silver ion deodorant to get rid of the gunpowder smell.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Were they done now?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata intercepted the radio signals of the security team that was only now starting to freak out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Won’t the others continue Private Casino’s super abuse of ordinary people’s deaths?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Only their leader did that. The other high-ranking members have their own nasty gambles, but that only takes dirty money from other dirty villains, so I’m quite fond of those. We can ignore the rest.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Item had once again completed their job flawlessly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 4===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Item had returned to their suite in the District 5 hotel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, ohhhh. Super ohhhhhh…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata Saiai was thrashing about on the floor even though there were plenty of chairs and sofas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wet-haired Frenda, who was wearing a towel and cutting across the large room in search of a hair dryer, frowned (and showed no concern about the extreme low angle Kinuhata would have from the floor).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“In the end, what has you so worked up this early in the morning?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Right this very moment, they’re showing a trash movie that was never released in Japan! At a Mexican restaurant!! I just called to check and they said all the seats were full! Even though I said I’m perfectly fine standing!! Why can’t I watch it on that TV right over there!? What kind of niche industrial service does that restaurant have their monitor hooked up to!? I’m super jealous!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If it wasn’t available on a phone movie subscription app, was it such a minor film that no one could track down who owned the rights anymore? It could also be such a horrifically gory movie that all of the ordinary apps’ regulations kept it out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ugh…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A lump in the bed groaned as if the shouting voice had struck it like a physical blow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That lump was Mugino Shizuri.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takitsubo Rikou climbed into the same bed and spoke quietly to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Mugino.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For some reason, Mugino wouldn’t look her in the eye. This was extremely unusual.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takitsubo continued with no change of expression.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This was your decision, so if you’re going to do it, get started.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ehhhh? But…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s already October, so the heat no longer works as an excuse. You need to start jogging.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The track suit girl was Item’s oldest member.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She knew very well how to deal with Mugino Shizuri.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Look, these are the numbers on your health app.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ugh.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This shows your current calorie intake and exercise level. If you keep this up, the results will be tragic a month from now. The changes will be noticeable in your figure. Especially in the hips and legs.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Mugino. I know it’s in season during autumn, but you’ve been eating too much fatty salmon. Are you going to go jogging?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The daughter of the Mugino Family silently got out of bed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was unusually obedient for Item’s leader, but if she refused now, the track suit girl might continue pestering her. And there was no escaping that search expert when she wanted to find you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino left the suite alone and took the elevator down to the ground level, but she had zero intention of jogging.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It doesn’t matter what I do as long as I lose some weight, right? That doesn’t require running on my own two legs.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino grumbled to herself as she walked to a business that was hardly unusual in the grown-up District 5.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The sign out front called it a beauty salon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just as a barber would pay careful attention to their hair and clothing store workers would wear the store’s clothing as a form of advertisement, the college-aged receptionist at the counter had an unnaturally model-like figure. She looked somewhat surprised to see Mugino.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But not because Mugino had shown up without an appointment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Why, if it isn’t Shizuri-sama. What brings you here today? Need to alter your body to the point your own parents wouldn’t recognize you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Don’t be dumb. I wouldn’t screw up that bad. Is the doctor in?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“She’s ready when you are☆”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This salon used the swelling and slimming effect of the body to remake one’s body lines so a criminal could slip past the latest security cameras that, in addition to facial recognition, would analyze your build and bone structure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Incidentally, the place next door was a repair shop for leather products like bags and belts. But it was also known as an ID forging specialist that carried all sorts of different special inks. The intended clientele here was more obvious than a bicycle shop right next to a school.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino was guided to a locker room where she changed into the paper underwear and grabbed a towel before heading to the treatment room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The blonde woman in her mid-twenties waiting there was something else entirely from a doctor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wah hah hah. Those are some nice tits. Man, isn’t youth a wonderful thing?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Shut up and get to work.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Then will you lie down there for me?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino Shizuri lay face down on on a stretcher about as tall as a desk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Something fell onto her back. A liquid.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hot! What is this!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Massage oil. This is better than ice cold, don’t you think?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hands reached for her unguarded back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ohh, ohh. You dark side customers are fascinating. The firmness of the skin and flow of the muscles differs so much from person to person. It makes great study material☆”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Damn anatomy model freak.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yes, Academic Hall’s latest model looks very nice indeed. I just know that was designed by someone who’s seen real living organs and not just the samples floating in formaldehyde. The old Tanaka Educational Model Shop has to be panicking right about now.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was what you got with this blonde woman who bought a new one each season like they were body pillows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“God, you really are a pervert.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My, my. But a human’s skin is only a fraction of their total weight. Trying to measure the extent of human beauty from the exterior alone is quite frankly ridiculous. You need the bone, the muscle, and the fat below or the skin won’t have that alluring firmness and spring to it. Human beauty is more than skin deep.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was supposedly the best esthetician in the business, but she was definitely enjoying the ways she used her fingers a little too much.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Still face down, Mugino spoke up in annoyance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Nh, kh…hey, is this really necessary?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The human body is over 60% water. Shifting its location can drastically change your appearance. As a liquid, it can change shape freely. This lacks the permanence of cosmetic surgery, but it can easily redesign your figure for a short time☆”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The massage oil had been a little too hot at first, but it adapted to her body heat as the esthetician worked it in with her hands. As the boundary between temperatures faded, the oil felt like it was silently entering Mugino’s skin. Adapting? Fusing? With her eyes shut, her awareness of her own body seemed to glitch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Let me know if this hurts, okay? I might not do anything about it, but I’d still like to know.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Well, nh, it’s a small price to pay for easy results. Jogging is a pain in the ass and I’m all for real-life pay to win if it buys me time. I’ll just put up with it and enjoy the easy weight loss.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, uh, no matter where I move your excess water around, the total amount will stay the same, so while you might look slimmer, your weight will not change.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino threw the wet towel into the esthetician’s face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 5===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The lower levels of the fancy District 5 hotel were filled with restaurants and shops. You could find most anything walking around there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But it wasn’t an ordinary shopping area, so there were some weird gaps in what was available.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That evening, Frenda Seivelun was screaming in a hotel shop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Nwohhhhhh! Th-they don’t sell ear picks here… In the end, you can find those in any 100-yen shop! Ahhh, the inside of my head itches so baaaaad!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Places like this want to sell the products that let you enjoy a luxury lifestyle. Won’t they have a super hard time selling 100-yen products?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Surely we’ve got an ear pick somewhere in our room.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They had all sorts of items in their hotel room, including brushes and hair ties. They had a brand-name hair drier, a large humidifier, as well as knives, pots, and a cocktail shaker at the suite kitchen counter. But was there an ear pick? Thinking back, the four of them didn’t remember seeing one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Why not super order one online?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I need it now. There’s no way I’m waiting until tomorrow! I can’t stand another second of this!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And so they were forced to head out on short notice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…They could have just sent Frenda off on her own, but Mugino and Kinuhata tagged along because they also had things they wanted to buy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was a taxi loading zone in front of the hotel, but they walked a bit further to reach a bus stop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata asked a question while boarding a large bus that made a big loop around District 5.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Super where would they sell ear picks?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Literally anywhere else. In the end, even a normal discount shop will work!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Did Frenda sound so impatient because of the super sketchy ad for a bunny girl ear cleaning salon playing on the LCD screen near the ceiling? Was that weird ad campaign a variation on the autumn moon viewing series of ads? Whatever the case, it was driving Frenda’s need for ear cleaning wild.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To provide for the many college students, District 5 had a fairly large discount shop. The chain was one found anywhere in Academy City, but this one was especially large and seemed halfway on its way to becoming a theme park. It had seven different entrances on the first floor, which seemed a little excessive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ear picks, ear picks, in the end where are the ear picks…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frenda was muttering to herself like a starving animal as she made her way to the health products section. She was wobbling side to side as she went. Hopefully she wouldn’t start cleaning her ear before paying at the register.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The guide map said the place was three floors in all and the escalators were at the back of each floor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’m gonna super take a look at the bath goods section. Will you be buying anything, Mugino?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Some cheap food. The salmon stuff at the hotel’s souvenir shops is meant to seem fancy, which means it’s all really fatty. That’s not bad, but after eating so much of it, I’m craving some dry flakes.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takitsubo Rikou whispered quietly in her ear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Mugino.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino wasn’t careless enough to turn in her direction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She looked over at a nearby mobile accessory shelf to view the figure reflected in the clear plastic wrapping.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The girl was about 20 meters away and looked to be high school age. Her short black hair and glasses were her most notable traits.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She wasn’t wearing an armband.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But Mugino Shizuri saw right through that from the way she was standing near the exit and staying a short distance from the crowd so she could keep an eye on it all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That busty glasses girl… Is she Judgment?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Between the Lines 1===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tokyo was their backyard. With the exception of Academy City surrounded by its wall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They were on the sixth floor of a perfectly ordinary multi-tenant building. They had chosen the old and filthy building to give any possible visitors a chance to get scared and turn back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ugh. The smell of blood is making me woozy…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The groaning came from an elderly man in a pricey Italian suit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or more accurately, the head of the Mugino Family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was happening at the office that provided consumer credit at &#039;&#039;unthinkable interest rates&#039;&#039;. Bloodline members would never directly involve themselves in illegal activities, including contacting, visiting, or even engaging in inter-office cooperation with one. …but things were different in the elderly man’s case.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A rusty smell filled the room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Girls in classic maid uniforms were using a powerful bleach to mop the floor, but the smell hung in the air even with the source gone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The family head sank into a leather sofa and called out to the elderly butler standing stiffly next to him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Mujinayama. How’s that old woman doing?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The bleeding has been stanched, so her life should not be at risk. Our medic Yamaarashi has confirmed it. It should be safe to transport her to an ordinary hospital via ambulance.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Then do so.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Mugino Family hadn’t done anything to the woman in question.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The old woman had visited the shady consumer financing office and slit her wrist. With the kind of large razor not often seen in the modern day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had said something about that being her “backup plan” if she couldn’t borrow any money here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her voice had been shaking with fear the entire time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“A reverse mortgage, huh?” muttered the Mugino Family head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That service allowed the elderly to use their own house as collateral so they could borrow a large sum of cash from a real estate agent or money lender on the condition their house would be sold upon their death. That in itself wasn’t a problem, but…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(There are some real estate agents who leave a lot of “loopholes” in the related contracts, leaving the client in a dangerous position.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In At Home &amp;amp; Finance’s case, signing the contract to sell your house to them after your death would give you a large sum of money, but it was paid out in small monthly payments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But if the elderly client died before the full sum was paid, the unpaid amount could be seen as a violation of contract and be treated as a scam, so the remainder would be paid all at once to a convenient family member.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That created a perverse incentive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No matter how it happens, &#039;&#039;if they die, their family is given a large sum of money.&#039;&#039; In other words, suicide pays big. And this is after the life insurance industry did so much to avoid this situation.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And even after going that far, the payment would only be in the tens of millions of yen. That was certainly a sizable amount of cash, but it was a measly amount for buying a house in the city center. Ultimately, At Home &amp;amp; Finance knew very well that their elderly clients had only come to them after failing to get a long-term loan from an ordinary bank.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mujinayama calmly continued his professional explanation. Which didn’t mean he didn’t have any personal feelings about the issue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That loophole in the contract was likely left their intentionally. Because it allows them to buy prime real estate at a convenient price and sell it for a profit. They end up paying less than a tenth of what it would normally cost.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I get that.” The elderly man pouted his lips like a child. “But why did that old woman want so much money that badly? She would have to die for it, so it obviously isn’t for herself.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“She had a digital recorder with her. Although she used the old-fashioned method of recording the message by holding it to her landline phone’s receiver. It appears she was being threatened. Something about evidence that her grandchild was accomplice to a crime.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“A blackmailer then? …That’s Academy City criminal lingo. Don’t they abuse people’s ID with the city’s…Bank, do they call it?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Because the method &#039;&#039;has yet to&#039;&#039; spread beyond that city.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Did that mean this detrimental technology eventually would spread across the world?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Oh, god. In a way, I feel like that city is the root of all evil. On a global scale.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What was the bastard’s name?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It was mentioned in the recording. They called themselves the Information Broker. Not much to go on.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was a further application of the method used by the former blackmailer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Was the villain not satisfied with threatening ordinary people into committing crimes, so now they were threatening the victim’s family too?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Is it spreading?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Probably.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I had a feeling it would. It’s not too surprising. It’s just that no one’s taking accurate statistics. We only see it as an unusual spike in the number of people showing up for loans this month.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“A new crime must have been invented within Academy City.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The old butler was not making a dark joke.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was an important point.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The family members outside of the city want to directly help their families, but that enormous wall is not so easily crossed.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“And Academy City wants to preserve their clean image, so if anyone submits a complaint, they’ll just cover it up entirely. The very existence of the reports will disappear.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The thick wall meant to protect the children of Academy City was instead putting them at risk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Things like that happened a lot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Being part of the legitimate world did not mean someone was safe. As seen in At Home &amp;amp; Finance and in Academy City, there were forms of righteousness that were even more bad for your health than the bleach splattered on the floor here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If they would only use organized crime to collect on those debts, then we could fight back in our own way.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Being entirely legal is their greatest selling point. They all know where the line is and make sure to avoid crossing it. I imagine they don’t want to get in a turf war with our shady consumer finance business that lends money at &#039;&#039;unthinkable interest rates&#039;&#039;.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Their business often discussed loan terms that would make the police raise an eyebrow if they overheard it. Hopeless people like handsome men who acted like they worked in a host club or self-proclaimed musicians would regularly be charged 10% interest every ten days. Despite what movies and TV would have you believe, kidneys didn’t sell for very much, so having it removed by a proper(?) black market doctor who didn’t accept insurance would leave you in the red. The Mugino Family was &#039;&#039;wellllll&#039;&#039; aware of this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“She was willing to sell her house and throw her life away for her family. And whatever their reasons were, her family member did get involved in crime. Nevertheless, she was willing to throw away her entire life to save her family. …Heh heh☆”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Master? Your bad habit isn’t rearing its ugly head again, is it?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“&#039;&#039;How can I compare to that&#039;&#039;!? As a human!! I can’t go that far. If anyone is foolish enough to break our inviolable rules, I will punish them, family or not. So I’ve lost to her as a person. And what else am I to do now? …That old woman who slit her wrist for her grandchild is an amazing enough person to single-handedly outdo the head of the Mugino Family. Someone that respectable deserves to be treated right.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The elderly butler sighed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He had been right. That bad habit was back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But that was why all the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and executives followed that man.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What do you intend to do?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, a lot. But for now, let’s do something about her debt. After all, we provide consumer financing with unthinkable interest rates. I’d say 0% is pretty ‘unthinkable’, wouldn’t you?”&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Chapter 1: 2_on_2.==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 1===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sirens were blaring all around.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata Saiai and Takitsubo Rikou peeked out at the main street from the alley and sighed. At about the same time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Really, super really!? Why wouldn’t you turn off your phone’s GPS when robbing a bank!? Are you legit suicidal!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I-I-I-I did switch it off in the options! I know I did!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The option it shows you isn’t enough. Have you never noticed how the weather forecast app still shows the correct district even with the GPS switched off? That means your location is still being tracked even with the option off.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Why do you two know so much more about this stuff than a bank robber?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata and Takitsubo coughed in sync with each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…Hiding in the narrow alley was no guarantee of safety. There were security cameras everywhere and there were plenty of non-fixed cameras such as cleaning robots and security robots.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The city’s safe blind spots were something only people from the city’s true dark side knew how to identify.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After all, this was a bank robbery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Those were actually rare in the modern day, so Anti-Skill wasn’t going to just let it slide. Just as Kinuhata was wondering if every news source from personal social media accounts to the major newspapers were having a field day with it, Takitsubo Rikou whispered to her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Looks like they’ve gone.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Super so what? We’re talking about a bank robbery here. Anti-Skill and Judgment are going to be super gung ho about such a fun surprise event.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But remember, they’re still human.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The track suit girl was not daunted. She was as expressionless as ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“People’s focus waxes and wanes. Thirty minutes out from the start, their hope of catching the criminal red-handed will be fading and their excitement will fade with it. The ordinary Anti-Skill officers will be discussing their next plan, so they’ll let the security robots handle the search for the time being. So this is our best chance.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“And if we super miss this chance?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The pros will regain their cool and begin a thorough search. Once they make up their minds tonight, it won’t matter how late it is.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An immediate response was a form of magic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hearing Takitsubo’s voice just about got Kinuhata to go along with it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No, wait. Doesn’t this city super have a satellite?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That’s why we traveled through a few underground malls and underground parking garages on the way. Besides, they’re busy practicing for the Board’s parade right now, so I doubt they can dedicate many resources to a sudden case like this. Screw that up and, not only will they lose their job, but it will be a disciplinary firing which makes it hard for them to find another job.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The bikini girl gave them a look that seemed to ask why they knew so much about this, but they were under no obligation to respond.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simply put, if they didn’t slip past the cordon to safety soon, this would get a lot more annoying. They needed to leave the district.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata Saiai roughly scratched at her hair and turned to look at the third person here. She had had enough of calling her “(attempted) robber girl”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It had to begin here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“How did you get into this mess!? Super what’s your name!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“S-Sudori. Sudori Sayu…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then it was time to enjoy a daring getaway with the attractive alto-voice Miss Sudori (who was equipped with a bikini and a thick hot dog).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It sounded like you were unwillingly following someone’s orders during that bank robbery. Just to be sure, was it one of those blackmailers?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Y-yes…that’s right…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata was pretty sure a blackmailer was one of those people who gave instructions over the phone get people to do bad things. …The term had been all over the TV and internet news in Academy City, but maybe it would be safest if she double-checked the definition.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“They don’t ask you to do crimes at first,” politely began track suit girl Takitsubo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata decided to listen in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“They send a message via an online message board or social media site offering a good-paying day labor job or something like that. Usually weaving in some fictional concepts like saying it’s a job targeted toward students or to test some new Academy City system. Most people won’t go for it, but some will respond to the sketchy address.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ugh,” groaned Sudori Whatever-san.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Then they explain that it’s an easy job, but it requires registering with them to receive your payment and they ask for a lot of difficult-to-change personal information. Your Bank ID for example. Even fewer people will fall for that, but not none.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ughh.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Academy City is an enclosed city thanks to the wall. With your personal information taken, there is no more safe zone for you. So unscrupulous people will use that as a shield. They start controlling people by making threats like ‘we’ll burn down your dorm’ or ‘we’ll hurt your loved ones’. Then they order the victims to attack a jewelry store, a rich person’s home, or whatever else and have them steal anything of value.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was like a super powered up version of a group of delinquents threatening a timid classmate into shoplifting for them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the person who carried out the actual crime was actually paid for it. Just a bit. Of course this wasn’t about the villains being particular about promises. No, they simply wanted to make the victim feel like an accomplice, trapping them further. By making the victim feel like a criminal who couldn’t go to Anti-Skill for help, they became a lot easier to control.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The enemy was probably a group.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With an unseen group like that, a true solution to the problem wasn’t going to be easy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But they couldn’t let Mugino Shizuri know.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That meant they also couldn’t use the delinquents of the support team.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata Saiai and Takitsubo Rikou would have to manage it on their own.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Kinuhata, where should we start?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“~ ~ ~! With Sudori-san’s super home!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 2===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata and Takitsubo arrived in District 8.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Keeping this a secret from Item’s leader Mugino Shizuri meant they couldn’t use the support team’s cars. Thus, they had to travel by train. How they managed to safely use public transportation while the authorities were on alert will be omitted here. …Because safety measures tend to be very boring.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
District 8 was a jumbled mixture of new and old buildings and it contained more teachers and office workers than students. The hierarchy was plain to see. The latest, high-tech estates and high-rise apartments were home to the wealthy, so you can guess who ended up in the old buildings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sudori Sayu’s home was in a two-story apartment building.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She did not live alone as a student. Her entire family lived there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The girl walking around in a bikini and a thick hot dog was half-panicked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though they were getting close to her home, she had been getting more and more flustered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or maybe that was why she was flustered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“W-wait. Why do we need to go to my home? I can’t let my parents see me now. They’ll think I’m friends with people like you and get all worried.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…” “…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata and Takitsubo both gave Sudori Sayu a look.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The message on their faces couldn’t have been more clear: &#039;&#039;we wouldn’t be in this situation if you hadn’t tried to rob that bank.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They must have gotten through to her because the public bikini girl shrank down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Okay, fine. I’ll die then. Sorry for being born. Look, everyone, I’m about to livestream my own death…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maybe they had gotten through to her a little too well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ahh!!” Kinuhata frantically snatched away her phone (with a powerful Offense Armor arm). “Why are you trying to physically and socially kill yourself simultaneously, you super troublemaker!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I should’ve just done this in the first place… I don’t want to be a victim, but I don’t want to be a criminal either.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What was the bank robber saying now? While trembling. She really couldn’t be much more of a nuisance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And Takitsubo Rikou responded with a tilt of the head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Suicide isn’t considered a crime, but it doesn’t eliminate civil responsibilities. That means it can create financial problems.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She might be expressionless and seem out of it, but she was still part of the dark side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She probably wanted to prevent this suicide, but the words she chose were pretty awful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Stopping a train or leaving a rotting stench in a rented room will incur a fairly large debt. And since the person who killed herself can’t be charged, the debt goes to her family. …Do you want to cause even more trouble for your parents?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I don’t know if video sites do that kind of thing, but if you violate the terms of service to use their site in an inappropriate way that gathers a lot of attention, you can’t exactly complain if they demand a large payment.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was a side issue and didn’t really matter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was time to get down to business.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata sighed in exasperation first.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Blackmailers obtain compromising information on their victims and then threaten them into committing crimes. It’s safe to assume they have a negotiator posted near your home to keep tabs on your family. That way they can threaten to harm your home or parents if you super hesitate to go through with the crime.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You mean one of the villains is near here? B-but would they really be that easy to find? They’re so scary because they’re a faceless presence, so I doubt they’ll be anywhere near me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Sudori. If they threatened you into stealing jewels or fancy watches, how are they supposed to get the stolen goods? They must have a contact point for handing those things over. And using the mail doesn’t work well with jewels or watches that lose so much value from even a small scratch. They are threatening people because they want money. That means there is a physical connection even if you aren’t aware of it. This is one of them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sudori Sayu looked left and right while cowering down, but they weren’t going to be that easy to find.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If one of the official members of the group was here, the best plan was to locate that person and get the details out of them. Using the unspeakable methods of the dark side. Once they had information on the enemy group, it would be time to physically crush it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then Sudori Sayu’s shoulders shook.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A door on the two-story apartment complex opened. A middle-aged man emerged. She hadn’t mentioned which room was hers, but that reaction was enough to know that had to be her father. The timid-looking man watered a planter with a watering can.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was home at midday, but Kinuhata and Takitsubo didn’t take that to mean he was “one of them”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Money problems also meant time problems. People in a bad position had no freedom. He may have simply been forced to live an irregular life with no boundaries between day and night or between weekday and weekend.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“My dad works at a milk delivery company. It’s small, but he’s the president,” muttered the robber girl. “All the neighbors say it’s an outdated company and it’s getting harder and harder to survive in the industry thanks to online shopping and with bike and drone deliveries soon to be common. He should really shut down his business and use his know-how in another industry, but then he would have to fire the students who are using their part-time jobs to pay their tuition. So no matter how bad it gets and no matter how bad the future looks…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata didn’t know the actual numbers, but she could guess it was quite dire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was a problem a parent would try their best to hide from their child, yet it had grown to the point even the child could tell. He must not have had any room left for pretending.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“All I wanted was to help my family pay the bills.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The robber girl – Sudori Sayu – stared at that peaceful scene.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As if it existed in some far distant world. While trembling.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“They said I could earn 100 thousand yen in a week if I worked hard. They said it would be four times that in a month, which would be more than the monthly salary of a new office worker. I thought I could support my family. I thought I could relieve the tension there. But I didn’t know my Bank ID, so I sent them the number written in my mom’s notebook. I thought it was a normal process. I never imagined I was selling out my own parents…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She only had herself to blame.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…Or did she?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata Saiai was from the dark side. She was a member of Item who took jobs from the Voice on the Phone and knowingly wielded violence for money and to secure a place for herself. So she was not a kind enough person to feel pity for a foolish criminal who had intentionally chosen to set foot in that guilty world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But this was different.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It felt wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You worry me, Kinuhata.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The track suit girl was glaring (super exasperatedly) at Kinuhata, but that didn’t change her view.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An ordinary person was dragged into a world of crime without any advance notice, they were sent past the point of no return, and their family and friends were taken hostage to force them to commit crimes. Nothing was done to protect the victim. They were disposable tools whose eventual arrest was all part of the plan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
None of this would have happened if she hadn’t done what she did. That was true.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But…that didn’t meant she had intentionally chosen to set foot in this world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 3===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The blackmailers abused their victim’s Bank ID to threaten them and force them to steal valuables. With the victim’s home and family used a shield, a negotiator had to be nearby.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For Kinuhata and Takitsubo, locating that negotiator would give them a chance to fight back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Track suit girl Takitsubo glanced over at Kinuhata.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This residential area doesn’t have much in the way of entertainment, but there are still some people coming and going. We have to identify the suspicious person among them, so what do you say we should do, Kinuhata?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The security drum robots are effectively small communication servers.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“And?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takitsubo Rikou’s expression was always blank.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But what was this? There was a hint of a grin in her eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Was she shifting into some kind of drill sergeant mode?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“By borrowing one of them and messing with the wiring a bit, we can monitor the nearby communication situation. For example, the number and location of phones.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The bikini and tight skirt robber girl nervously spoke up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wh-what good is knowing where any phones are? Everyone has one. You’d be hard pressed finding someone who isn’t carrying one.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ignoring her as a distraction would probably get her trembling and suicidal again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So Kinuhata sighed and answered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s true carrying a phone is super common.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Then what good is it?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But people using phones for crimes generally use a few different phones for different purposes. That will work against them here. What if we find someone in the neighborhood who’s carrying five or even ten phones? Wouldn’t that be super sus?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Being caught on camera while capturing the mobile security cameras that were the security robots would be suicidal for a dark side member. So Kinuhata crept up on one from behind and immobilized it with an (Offense Armor boosted) attack from its blind spot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then she only had to tear off the exterior panel and attach her phone with the appropriate cable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When you knew how to do it, it didn’t take long.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cautioning the robber girl not to look in that direction was a lot harder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I super found them. Ten meters northeast of your home.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Eh? You mean that white truck? Wh-why would an old newspaper collection service do that?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Appearances could be deceiving. It could have been a sweet potato seller or a (somewhat sketchy looking) used electronics collection service. Residential areas were the residents’ territory. The idea was to create the appearance of an outsider who could stick around for a while without arousing suspicion. A pizza delivery driver or newspaper deliverer couldn’t slowly circle around the same area for very long.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takitsubo nodded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Now we physically tail them. That should lead us to their base.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wait. If you already knew where they were, you should have super told me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This helps me too. There are no textbooks in the field of criminal searches, so other people’s ideas can be a valuable learning opportunity. Knowing how other people think can also help you obstruct them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Their target was in a light truck, so they couldn’t pursue on foot. The target appeared to be circling along the same course. While strolling past the slowly circling truck, Kinuhata flicked a small wireless earphone into the back of the truck.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then they just had to open a map app and use the lost item search function.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata Saiai spoke up right away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’ve super got the signal.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 4===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino Shizuri took on the bearing of a wealthy daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After all, she had been caught in a bank robbery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There were Anti-Skill checkpoints everywhere and the drum-shaped security robots had been deployed en masse. She had nothing to do with the robbery itself, but she wanted to avoid being questioned about it and risking discovery of her &#039;&#039;extremely illicit&#039;&#039; secrets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After slipping out of the bank’s front entrance to escape the chaos, the Item members split up (while getting rid of the fire extinguisher foam covering them), vanished into the streets, and made sure they weren’t being watched or tailed before regrouping at the luxury hotel they were using as a temporary home. They were specifically using a suite in a massive tourist hotel in District 5, which was full of college students.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino scratched roughly at her head in the elevator.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(They always increase security here whenever anything happens. We really should’ve gone with an apartment instead of a hotel anyone can stay in.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Huh? Where’d Takitsubo go? And Kinuhata?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Don’t ask me. In the end, I’m not their chaperon,” casually replied Frenda who had arrived in the suite before Mugino and was mixing a non-alcoholic cocktail in a shaker.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Were those two together, or were they acting separately? Surely they weren’t stupid enough to get questioned by Anti-Skill and then screw it up so badly they got arrested. Mugino considered the possibilities for a moment, but then her phone emitted a tone. She grimaced after checking the screen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frenda hopped into the sofa and sipped at her blueish drink as she glanced over.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“In the end, who’s that?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You don’t want to know.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For some reason, Frenda answered that with a nod. That had apparently told her exactly who it was.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was the Voice on the Phone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We only just got back after dealing with some trouble. What do you want?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I have a job for you.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Have I ever called you for any other reason?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino Shizuri very nearly threw her phone into the wall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You expect me to head back out into that heat and work some sweaty job when I’m already goddamn furious!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Suit yourself. This is one of the best jobs that’s ever come your way, so it would be a waste to let it go. I’ll just have to give it to someone else.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of Mugino’s eyebrows shot up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Voice on the Phone was an expert negotiator. This might be nothing more than bait, so she remained cautious.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You don’t normally talk like that.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ah ha ha. The client must be panicking because they set the reward wrong. It’s turned into an easy job you can solve with a single shot but the pay is excellent☆”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 5===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata and the other two arrived in the college-focused District 5.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…Mugino and Frenda would be in the luxury tourist hotel in the same district, so they had to be careful. Carelessly encountering those two would mean death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
District 8 was full of chic and mature-looking luxury brand shops for all the teachers and office workers there, so it felt like their surroundings had reversed. The city seemed to be sleeping below the blue sky.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“A used clothing store for luxury brands? Yeah, that sounds super right.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Think of it like a pawnshop that intentionally buys stolen goods.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sudori Sayu (who thought she was hiding but was doing a very poor job of it) was trembling and teasing her bikini strap with her fingers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But don’t they just need to convert their stolen jewels and brand-name bags into cash? Why do they need a place like this when online auctions and flea market apps exist?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Sudori. It might seem simple, but that’s a lot more trouble than it looks. Your screen name can be whatever you want, but it’s hard to avoid any link back to yourself when it comes to the bank account or credit card used to pay. It’s not completely impossible, but there are around three hurdles you have to clear.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That villain sounded like she had actually done that before, so the robber girl fell silent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was hard to argue with someone who had actual experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sudori Sayu did eventually respond while snapping her bikini shoulder strap with her fingers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“B-but now what? How exactly are we supposed to defeat their boss? We don’t even know if all the stolen goods are in the back of that shop.” (snap snap)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“They’re stolen. They won’t be sitting out where anyone can see them. And we’re super not Anti-Skill, so we don’t need material evidence or a warrant. Now that we know who’s our enemy, we just have to barge in and beat them up.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Eh? But…actually who even are you two?” (snap snap snap!)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Generally small) Kinuhata ground her teeth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was shaking.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hey, can you stop snapping your super bikini straps!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I got these clothes in a hurry for the bank job, so they aren’t quite the right size. There’s a chance Anti-Skill could search for me using my fashion sense or where I bought them, right? So I chose a swimsuit I would never ordinarily wear. D-did you think I was in the habit of walking around in a bikini?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sudori Sayu breathed a heavy sigh.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“And it keeps wanting to come undone if I don’t fix it. I’ve always been bad at tying bows, both with shoelaces and ribbons.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Is that even something you can be good or bad at? That sounds like your parents didn’t teach you right when you were little.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Huh? This is my issue, so don’t drag them into it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her voice dropped low for once.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But a second later, she shrank two sizes smaller than before.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata sighed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you care about your parents so much, don’t become a criminal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyway, all that remained was making the actual attack. Takitsubo Rikou was in charge of searching out the enemy and Sudori Sayu was in charge of being nervous, so this was a job for Kinuhata. If this shop was the boss’s home base, then this would bring an end to this mess. And if there was an even bigger boss, she could beat up his subordinates and get them to talk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wait, Kinuhata.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But Takitsubo, who had been kindly watching over her (to an annoying extent) in drill sergeant mode, stopped her here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was unusual.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The member of the blackmailers you discovered was carrying five different phones, remember?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Super what of it?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We can’t check all the data in those phone right away, but we can take remote screenshots of the lock screen. What do you make of this?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Huh? A baby…photo?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata’s mind nearly went blank.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata had never done it with her own phone of course, but she knew using a photo of your child as your phone background was a classic choice in the grownup world. But no one on the dark side would do that. A third party might get a look at your phone’s screen and nothing good came of letting a bloodstained person on a crime scene get a look at your young family member. And a blackmailer who made a living using anonymous threats to get people to do their bidding was an expert at that sort of thing. They would be more careful with their own Achilles heel than anyone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Which could only mean…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“They might not be from the dark side.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…You’re kidding. You mean the people who collect the stolen goods and even the people running the shop are all being threatened into it with compromising information? Super just like Sudori-san!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Defeating the mid boss won’t be enough to end this. Until we defeat the final boss at the very top, any empty seats will just be filled with another threatened person. And if it’s found out Sudori fought back against that hierarchy, they might retaliate against her parents.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So everyone except the final boss was disposable? Quite the criminal infrastructure. The final boss had to be pretty sure they wouldn’t be ganged up on by their many subordinates and partners in crime. …That spoke to a lot of confidence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But Sudori Sayu couldn’t ignore this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Word of the failed bank robbery would eventually get back to the blackmailer boss. Then she would either be given an even worse job or her home and family would be crushed and she would be eliminated as a lesson to others in her situation. In either case, they couldn’t abandon her now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And unlike Kinuhata and her worries, Takitsubo was quick to make up her mind at times like this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had already stated her stance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Item was not Anti-Skill.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Kinuhata.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Super what?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“&#039;&#039;Go beat up the people in that shop. To a nonlethal degree&#039;&#039;.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 6===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It less than thirty seconds after Kinuhata Saiai stepped through the front door of the used brand-name products store. The security cameras inside (which used 2mm lenses disguised in the walls and ceiling to hide them from the ordinary customers) had already been deactivated of course.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“All super done.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I see.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(With Offense Armor, it’s actually super hard to stop people without smashing them to pieces. It takes as much skill as cracking and frying an egg with construction equipment. A little more appreciation would be nice.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The lack of resistance was to be expected from victims who were only being threatened into it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But just as she was thinking that…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Kinuhata.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Something rolled along the floor. The metallic object was smaller than a baseball.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a grenade with the pin removed and lever pulled out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Which meant only three seconds remained.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(These are ordinary people!! And there super are other people in this area!)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata kicked it out the window.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then the small girl grabbed both Takitsubo and Sudori and pushed them down to the floor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The explosive “boom!!” was unexpectedly high pitched. It was followed by a ringing sound that seemed to gradually grow from deep in her head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The bikini girl groaned on the floor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ah…kh…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Super bear with it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A grenade that scattered small fragments would have a lethal range of over ten meters. However, if you remained standing, the horizontal storm of glass shards from the broken window would leave you bloody even if you were outside the blast’s range.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And Takitsubo remained expressionless even now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This will draw attention. We need to gather information fast.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takitsubo climbed over the trashed shop’s counter and operated the online register that was really just a computer. Why couldn’t she do it all from the start?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then she froze.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The LCD screen displayed some data that would never appear during normal register operation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Specifically, the secret financial records that included all their criminal activity. Although Kinuhata didn’t know how to read the cryptic symbols in the spreadsheet software.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Super what is this, Takitsubo-san?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The look in her eyes had changed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her usual vacant stare was gone and she now looked like she was viewing a bug displaying bright and toxic colors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Kamigi Ryouichi.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Eh? Eh? Who’s that?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sudori felt left behind as usual, but Kinuhata was right there with her this time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata pulled out her phone and…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Let’s see. I can find stuff on him on the open internet, so is he a super ordinary person?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apparently he was the president of a company that started out as a restaurant chain, shifted into food distribution management, and was now gaining a foothold in the IT realm with online shopping and a food delivery app. Just the publicly available annual sales figures were at 180 billion yen and who could say how much more he had made with stocks and such. Simply put, he was a success story of the “open” world. So much of a success he probably used terms like “Cayman Islands” and “tax haven” more than he did “thank you” and “I’m sorry”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The official website of his restaurant group displayed a photo of a young man who looked like a grown-up delinquent in a pricey Italian suit. He had the unmistakable look of new money.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“He’s the wallet of one of the Board members,” flatly stated Takitsubo Rikou.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…” Kinuhata’s voice was hoarse as she asked, “Are you super serious?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takitsubo barely changed expression. Barely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“He said openly on a video site that he doesn’t get directly involved in politics because he finds all the rules constraining. He said not being able to go to your local festival or send a bouquet to a friend sounds like too boring a life for him.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He certainly sounded like the confident type.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He wasn’t afraid of making enemies with the things he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How had he silenced his detractors in a brightly lit world where violence wasn’t an option? Most likely by using sneaky and unnaturally bloodless methods that even the villains avoided.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But the video sites and his official social media don’t mention that Kamigi is attempting to take over Academy City by building up a position where he can influence the political world from the outside. I don’t know how successful he’s been there, but he has been adopted as a wallet by one of the 12 Board members. He is also good at manipulating public opinion and covering up inconvenient statements.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uh, oh.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The inexperienced antenna Kinuhata had tried her best to develop had heard enough to know this information came with considerable risk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Quick question. Why do you super know all of this, Takitsubo-san?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“A bug maker told me about it. I haven’t been able to contact him lately though.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“A bug maker…?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bikini Sudori sounded astonished, but her imagination was probably having trouble keeping up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The girl with a much more precise antenna than Kinuhata’s continued.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The Unseen Director. The 13th. He’s secretly known by a number of names, but that means he’s famous enough to earn those names yet the Board hasn’t eliminated him. They know about him but can’t stop him. That sort of villain makes for a powerful enemy.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He effectively had as much power as the Board of Directors and he was from the “open” world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If Kinuhata and Takitsubo of the dark side silenced him with their fists, they would likely make a wide variety of enemies. There would of course be powerful people who weren’t too fond of Kamigi, but that was no guarantee they would protect Item. They would delight in learning some dangerous criminals had eliminated their political enemy and then let the troublesome criminals go down with him. That would be the cleanest resolution.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The die had been cast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was no turning back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And if they were to fight, they had to start by coming up with a method.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But if he’s that super rich, why is he taking the risk of running a blackmail- oh.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata realized the answer to her question halfway through asking it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“He isn’t after money. Is he essentially mining for safe and disposable pawns who will take any super risk he wants as long as he scares them or flashes his money at them? He’s trying to build a legal form of violence?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“D-disposable? How can this be legal!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’m trying to help you fight him, so don’t super take it out on me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata could only respond with her mouth forming a small triangle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Item was a team of criminal girls who performed dirty jobs, but they had an unofficial connection to those higher up in the city. To put it another way, the Board of Directors had that card in their deck. And they might have many more besides Item.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In that case…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I said he was controlling the political world from the outside, remember? Money and power aren’t the only ways to protect yourself. He will want some way to stop any bullets flying his way. So he probably wanted to create a hierarchy of people who will take on dirty jobs, right? Just to be safe.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yes, safety measures need to be ready super before trouble happens.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just to be safe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Being threatened into committing crimes and ruining their lives just in case a complete stranger ran into any future trouble couldn’t be fun for the blackmail victims, though.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So the blackmailer was the parent organization. And Kamigi Ryouichi’s “safety measure” used a quantity over quality strategy as opposed to preparing an elite team like Item. Although if he continued to increase the quality of his threatened agents, he might end up with an elite team eventually.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The question is how far his trump card has been built.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If brute force can solve the problem, then we just need to use brute force. Super courtesy of my Offense Armor.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It probably took a high level Esper of the dark side for brute force to be an option here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata kept her voice low.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I say the question is super how we attack this public big shot. The dark side needs to follow certain &#039;&#039;procedures&#039;&#039; to go after someone like that. For example, when a job falls to Item because the media digs too deep into a personal scandal and it might start affecting other VIPs. But given Sudori-san’s situation, I don’t think we have time for an investigation to prepare for a long-term fight.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the dark side, you didn’t cause trouble for the “open” world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was an unspoken rule for those who lived in this city’s shadows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the basis of how much trouble a single death would cause, they really didn’t want to get involved with important and well-known people like the president of a large company, an entertainer, or an athlete. That dividing line pissed off Kinuhata as someone who was ranked lower there, but it was the truth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That didn’t mean it was impossible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Item had in fact eliminated some corrupt idols on a job.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But that was only after the Voice on the Phone had laid the necessary groundwork.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They didn’t have that this time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“B-b-but.” Bikini Sudori was trembling. “We’re talking about the boss of those blackmailers, right? That’s a crime, so isn’t that enough of an Achilles heel for an important person?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Sorry, but we’re not talking about whether it’s legal or not. We want a scandal on a level that even a super VIP can’t wriggle out of it. Specifically, something he can’t escape by assigning the blame to a sacrificial pawn.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Remember, Sudori, Kamigi Ryouichi went to the trouble of putting together this enormous plan, so he will have insurance in place so he can escape if anyone tries to use it against him. Maybe he has someone with the same name he can blame, or maybe he’ll just claim someone stole his official profile or Bank ID and used them to open a bank account in his name.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a famous person and a corporate executive who didn’t use a stage name or handle name, there were unique strategies available to him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The villain could use the blackmail hierarchy to order around any number of terrified people, so he could prepare as many “fall guy Kamigi Ryouichis” as he needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sudori leaned forward.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Then what do we do!? If our attack doesn’t finish this, then it’ll be his turn! And it’s not just about me! My parents are at risk too!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Kamigi Ryouichi would never dream that it’s super best to have an Achilles heel without any kind of safety measure…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata’s phone chose this annoying time to ring.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata pulled it from her pocket and was disappointed to find it wasn’t a social media notification. Then she could have used a trick to read the message without sending a read receipt and ignored it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Is this Mugino?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Doesn’t your phone tell you that? Where are you? Is Takitsubo with you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Well, super um…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Should she tell her? But lying seemed like it would only wrap the noose tighter around her neck. With her phone in hand, she glanced over and saw the track suit girl give a slight nod. With her usual lack of expression.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Uh, yes. She is super here.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hm? Whatever. Get your asses over here. Free time is over.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Eh? We have an Item job right away?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But they had to find some way of tearing down the defenses of an irritating and (technically) non-dark-side VIP who was known as a Board member’s wallet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino seemed to be in a good mood as she continued.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The Voice on the Phone says it’s an easy job that won’t take more than a single attack. Yet it pays a ton. Something about the client being new to this and we get to reap the benefits? I’m already in a bad mood after everything at the bank, so let’s accept this last-minute windfall and have a real feast for dinner.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Wow, why does she choose super now to be thoughtful!? If only she was like this every other day!)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…Why aren’t you saying anything? Do you have other plans?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No, no, no, no!! I was just wondering what you’d be treating us to! I’m in the mood for some super Thai food!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I thought you wanted paella? But Thai’s fine too. And if we’re gonna do it, let’s get stuff as good as what they serve in the royal court. Whatever we go with, I need to blow a bunch of money on it to get out of this funk. See you in 20 minutes at the hotel.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She hung up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…Mugino Shizuri, the wicked rich girl, was giving some slight hints of a shopping addiction, but that wasn’t what most bothered Kinuhata Saiai as she stood there blankly with phone in hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh…oh, no. Oh, no, no, no, no, no.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sudori Sayu was shaking. Did she think they were going to abandon her? She was shaking so hard her bikini’s knots looked ready to give up the ghost, but Kinuhata didn’t bother warning her. Looking after her boobs was her own job, so she could deal with it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But what were they supposed to do about this?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Kinuhata, you go.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Why do you always choose these moments to act all responsible and start raising death flags!? You’ve known Mugino the longest, so you know better than me how terrifying she is, so why are you super pushing your luck like this!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You have that backwards. I’ve known her longest, so I know best &#039;&#039;how to evade&#039;&#039; her followup questions. I can get out of it just this once, but I’m worried about you since you’re so new.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ugh…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s a job, right? Mugino has switched modes. One of us missing can be passed off as a minor accident, but she’ll get suspicious if both of us are absent. …There is no guaranteed right answer here. We can only try to mentally simulate Mugino’s capricious actions. Kinuhata, can you do that?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was right. Kinuhata Saiai lacked the experience needed to say anything with certainty here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When it came to bluffing or anything else, Takitsubo knew Mugino Shizuri very well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Don’t worry. I will take care of Sudori.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Kh. Don’t blame me if Mugino super finds out!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 7===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata Saiai hurried back to the District 5 tourist hotel and arrive just as Mugino Shizuri and Frenda Seivelun were leaving.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Where’s Takitsubo?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What? Does this job super require her searching skills?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She couldn’t answer that question, so she avoided it with a question of her own. The trick was to avoid pausing too long. (A lesson she learned after screwing it up earlier.) Then she went on to lay out her own rules.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Since you super called my phone instead of Takitsubo-san’s, I assumed you needed strength for this job.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Fine, whatever.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino brushed it off as unimportant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frenda sighed while hefting a bag that seemed to be full of various heavy items.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“So how are things outside? That bank robber is still at large, right? Is Anti-Skill still out in full force? In the end, I’ve been intercepting their radio signals and spying on the street cameras on video sites, but as a dark side bomber, I’m pretty curious what things are really like out there.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Nothing special. They super seem to be in a lull.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s 3 in the afternoon. After searching around without finding anything, they must have gotten bored and decided to stop for some afternoon tea. The higher ups will notice soon and yell at them, so the patrols will find a new store of motivation before long. Let’s get this job over with before that happens.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They left the grown-up District 5 to reach the more eclectic District 7.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the way, Kinuhata received an overview of the job.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This time they would be destroying something rather than someone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a sabotage job.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Since we aren’t just killing someone, I get the feeling there’s some nasty link between different villains here.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The higher ups have their own issues.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“In the end, it’s about adjusting the power balance. There are a lot of skilled people at the top, but one of them has gotten carried away and started infringing on other people’s turfs. So those others are going behind the scenes to smack him and bring him back in line.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(If this isn’t an urgent case of saving a hostage or stopping the imminent leak of a biological weapon, couldn’t this have super waited until later?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata kept that thought to herself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If she acted natural here, Takitsubo would be free to do her part with Sudori Sayu, so she had to remember she was accomplishing something here. She feared the impatience would overwhelm her if she didn’t find her own motivation like that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In any case, it was time to get to work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The work wasn’t confined to District 7. They also went around to other districts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They performed some quick work at each stop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Super what is this? What are we doing?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“In the end, we’re doing something important enough to ruin a certain someone’s life☆”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After somewhere between half an hour and an hour of work, there was a ringing from a fossil of a pay phone remaining on the side of the road.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino Shizuri grinned and picked up the receiver.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Is ‘hello’ the right thing to say with a landline phone? Was my data security too good for you to find my personal phone number?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Damn you!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Yes, it was us. We’ve been busy going around destroying a few of your factories and warehouses for eco-friendly dishware. But we made sure the damage was light enough to recover from in a few days, so you don’t have to worry about bankruptcy. Still, food isn’t the only important supply for restaurants. This should be a significant problem for a chain that needs to supply these things as cheaply as possible. The knives and forks can be washed and reused several times, but your group as a whole must still have to dispose of quite a few each day. And without new supply, you can’t open your doors.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata couldn’t believe her ears.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That’s what they had been doing?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just thinking about the extent of the losses terrified her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino Shizuri took on a singsong voice with the receiver against her ear. The man on the other side was shouting shrilly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Do you understand what you’ve done!? Including my artwork and real estate, my personal assets amount to more than 100 billion yen. That isn’t the company’s money – it’s all money I am free to use however I like! I can keep sending in assassins until all of you are dead without having to lift a finger myself!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, really? Then how about we cover your wonderful golf course with agrochemicals next? Or what about sending bomb threats to the shopping mall owned by your group? Being famous does have its drawbacks. Even if you’ve done nothing wrong, everyone around you will be demanding answers. Sooooo if you don’t surrender now, you’ll just have to watch as the value of those assets plummets.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No. Do you really think that absurd reasoning will work!? I am known as a Board member’s purse. I am a big deal in the public world! If you filthy dark side dogs try to bite me, you will regret it!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Frenda.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Sure thing.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ground shook. As if jutting up from below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Followed by a chain reaction of distinctive electronic tones coming from all the phones in the area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino smiled and continued.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That was an artificial earthquake.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Humans can indeed cause earthquakes. Do you know the primary cause of them? Roadwork? Subway trains passing by? Oh, wait. Isn’t the answer nuclear tests in labs built deep underground?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………No, you couldn’t have.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was speechless.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frenda Seivelun smiled maliciously.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the Academy City Bomber.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“In the end☆ That was☆☆ A pencil nuke☆☆☆”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cold sweat poured from Kinuhata Saiai’s body.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frenda…wasn’t joking.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the object she was twirling in her hand like a pen was exactly what she had described. Did nuclear weapons that small really exist!?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“In the end, that’s a bomb that uses a rare radioactive material called californium instead of uranium or plutonium. It’s what’s known as a super heavy element bomb. The nuclear material itself is a sphere with a diameter of only one centimeter, but I think it’s powerful enough to blow away about a district’s worth of land when used in an open space? Although they’re being developed to be bound together and stuffed inside a larger cluster bomb.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The blast had been contained because Academy City had many different research labs, both legitimate and illegitimate, which weren’t found on the map.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Otherwise, it would have badly contaminated the land, and the 2.3 million people living there, even if detonated deep underground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“How far are you willing to take this, Mr. VIP?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino Shizuri snorted with laughter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These people really weren’t normal. Kinuhata Saiai was certain of that now. Trying to fight them and win was crazy. Who knows what you would be forced to lose even if you won in the end!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That isn’t our only trump card, by the way. Chemical weapons? Biological weapon? Anti-ship EMP bombs? Take your pick. We’re willing to keep it up until you give up, but it’s you and your public position that will suffer as this continues. The complaints will start rushing in. Scandals are generally graded with a demerit system. It doesn’t work like a poorly-written success story movie where a single good deed turns everything around. By the end, the average people out there will probably be ready to kill you.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Listen, you corrupt VIP. Once you’ve been stripped of the power your money gives you, you’re nothing more than a naked ape. Are you ready to sleep under a bridge? And once you’re wandering the streets with nowhere to go, that’s when Item will hunt you down and kill you. Once you’re attempting a no-gear challenge run of life, we can bide our time and kill you in whatever gruesome way we like. If that doesn’t appeal to you, then you should give more thought to how you behave yourself. This was a major blow, but you still have some money left. For now anyway.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…What are you saying I should do?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Look deep inside yourself and consider all the misdeeds you’re involved in. Then pull out of them all. That’s the bare minimum we’re asking for. Oh, right. And if you don’t go through with it in even one case, your money and your life are forfeit, so keep that in mind.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At that point, Kinuhata Saiai frowned. She had worked this job without knowing whose life they were ruining, but she was feeling some déjà vu here. She had noticed Mugino Shizuri using some familiar terms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A higher up in Academy City.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Someone famous in the public world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A corrupt VIP.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Wait. Could it super be…???)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Part 8===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takitsubo Rikou held her phone to her ear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Did you see that strange video of Kamigi Ryouichi sobbing as he smashed something with a hammer? Apparently those were the disks and drives used to store his blackmail material. He backed out all on his own. Kinuhata, do you have any idea why?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That was amazing, Mugino Shizuri! I super love you!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hey, why are you hugging me!? Get away from me!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The track suit girl tilted her head at the voices coming from her phone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Well, as long as Kinuhata is alright.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most of the people had been freed by this: the bottom rung workers, the negotiators, the contact points, the executives, and so on. None of the blackmail victims needed to do as they were told anymore.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the video had to have been a complete mystery for the many ordinary people with no connection to crime. Takitsubo noticed comments wondering if that company president was exhausted from overwork. The sudden bizarre behavior had also caused the stock price to fall off a cliff. At this rate, the management of the company would soon be given to someone other than the founder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takitsubo didn’t know what it was, but he must have sensed some kind of danger and done this to protect himself. It appeared to have completely backfired, though.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Illegal actions weren’t the only way to cause a scandal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Being famous had its downsides. A single &#039;&#039;mistake&#039;&#039; could have lasting consequences.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Super how are things on that end?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hm?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takitsubo looked to the side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A weeping Sudori Sayu was hugging her parents who looked taken aback in front of their cheap old apartment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(We already took the real gun from her. Now we have to swap that out for a model gun and claim the bank incident was an ill-advised punishment game. Where she shot the ceiling might make that difficult, though.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Dad, mom! Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, dear. What’s this about? What’s the matter, Sayu?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She could hear it clearly from here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takitsubo Rikou slightly narrowed her otherwise expressionless eyes. As if viewing something bright.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was a sort of life that Level 4 Takitsubo Rikou and Level 5 Mugino Shizuri could never have.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That bikini girl had barged into a bank with a gun in hand, but the thread of tension appeared to have finally snapped. Sudori Sayu hugged her father and wept like a small child.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was probably how crime was supposed to work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There really was something wrong with Item for enjoying it and eagerly charging straight into it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The track suit girl was still here because she wanted to check around with her searching skills for any remaining members of Kamigi’s blackmailers in the area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She hadn’t found anything.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“For dinner, how about I make stir-fried vegetables with lots of your favorite: chicken.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“By the way, why are you wearing a swimsuit? And what’s that hot dog toy? Is it Halloween?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Um!? W-well…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sudori wasn’t sure how to answer her parents’ innocent questions, but she still looked happy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That was now a different world from Item’s. Once the track suit girl left, it would be fully cut off from the dark side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That girl had been freed just like so many others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takitsubo Rikou gave a simple report to Kinuhata as she quietly departed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Let’s just say it ended exactly the way you hoped for.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;What is right depends on one’s point of view and circumstances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But the cost of betrayal will never be cheap.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Prologue: Betrayal’s Beginning==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“God, why do I have to go to the bank in the middle of a weekday? In this day and age?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Of course you do, Mugino. Banks are closed on weekends and at night.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino Shizuri, Takitsubo Rikou, Frenda Seivelun, and Kinuhata Saiai.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The four of them had arrived at a small and perfectly ordinary bank in the shopping area of District 15.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It had all begun with a strange kangaroo game (that Frenda had gotten from somewhere).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The odd ritual which began in a karaoke box had ended in a complete loss by Mugino Shizuri. Owing the other three Item members lunch wasn’t that big a deal, but the real trouble had started when the e-payment function on Mugino’s phone mysteriously stopped working. …If only she had noticed this before arriving at the restaurant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to blonde Frenda (who had apparently trained plenty in the game with her 7-year-old sister):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“In the end, did you recently shove all your credit cards and smart cards onto your phone? I bet there’s a conflict between the different payment apps.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And so they did some research and paid a visit to the phone service counter, but with no luck. When the young woman working the counter couldn’t solve the problem, they were forced to head to the bank which handled the link between Mugino’s phone, card, and bank account. Was this some kind of orienteering?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(How long has it even been since I spoke to a bank teller? Dammit.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino snatched a numbered paper sticking out of the machine near the tellers. #35. Looking up at the counter, the most recent number called was still in the late 20s. Even after all the trouble and walking around, this was going to take even more of her time. And there was no guarantee waiting until her turn would even get the problem solved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’m not even in the mood for food anymore. I just want to get home and take a nap.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You only say that cause you’re the one who super has to buy us lunch. I haven’t forgotten how much business that paella place by the station was doing!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The girls bickered back and forth and killed time on their phones. Unable to stand it any longer, Mugino lay down on the sofa while Takitsubo lent her her lap.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was just past 2 PM when it happened.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Nobody move!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Someone raised their voice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Their voice was unnaturally shrill, like they had inhaled helium or something.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It belonged to a girl with her blonde hair worn in twintails. She looked high school aged. No, or maybe middle school? She wore a combination of a triangular bikini top and a short tight skirt. A thin stole was wrapped around her body and she held a…thick hot dog in her mouth? No, it wasn’t actually in her mouth. Was it a special mask held on with a transparent band? It also had sliced olive and tomato decorations, so it was likely meant to fool facial recognition algorithms. In Academy City, it was commonly known those algorithms tended to glitch out if there were several large round objects near the face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino was still resting her head on the track suit girl’s lap.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The robber girl shouted while waving around an exceptionally large handgun that she would likely have trouble operating with one hand. The gun had a bulky holosight on the top. It was a top-of-the-line Academy City product that would accurately measure the nearby wind speed and the distance to the target (which meant it was fairly useless at close range indoors).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’m here to recycle all this world’s excess money! It’s called being eco-friendly and none of it will go to waste, so help me out here!! Slowly remove your hands from your landline phones, computers, smartphones, radios, and the secret switch under the table! Then gather over by the wall there!! C’mon, I can see all your smart watches and smart glasses, so remove them and give them here! Water absorbs EM waves and a certain specialized liquid does an even better job. Using that Diffuser, any message you do try to send won’t even make it two meters!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The bank made their move.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A middle-aged man in glasses and a suit emerged. He looked like the type of person who lived for office work. He was skinny for middle age and he approached nervously.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“P-please wait. I suspect you have chosen the wrong target. You cannot use any money stolen from a bank these days. Did you think no one would notice if the bills’ serial numbers were nonconsecutive? Oxygen and microbes deteriorate paper and the slight folds and wrinkles create something like a fingerprint. There are countless ways to track the stolen bills, so you will be caught as soon as you spend them somewhere.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The robber girl pistol whipped the branch manager’s bitterly smiling face right in his nose.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A violent crunch and the red of blood were followed by a series of screams within the bank.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Down on the floor, the branch manager held his face and trembled while looking up at the robber girl.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The bikini girl with the lower half of her face covered by a thick hot dog mask again spoke.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her demand was simple.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’m the kind of person who spams the ‘agree’ button until the long explanation finally ends. Do I need to hit you again?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A series of loud bangs followed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That gun was fully automatic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If she hadn’t been aiming at the ceiling as a threat, the branch manager would be dead. The middle-aged man only now realized the situation he was in and an unpleasant ammonia stench wafted up from him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the robber girl lowered the gun and dropped the empty magazine to the floor, another magazine flew from the back of her hip. It entered the large handgun’s grip all on its own.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“(Was that an esper power?)”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“(No. In the end, I’ve seen contraptions like that before. They do something with the ultrasonic technology used in microactuators. You can supposedly reduce your reload time below 0.5 seconds using one of those.)”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a very Academy City move, the robber girl was using quite an odd reloading tool. It was as accurate as if an electromagnet or something were sucking the magazine into the slot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then the robber girl aimed her gun straight ahead and beckoned someone over.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You, the woman who’s figured out the button below the table isn’t doing anything. Stop wasting your time and get over here! The drum security robots aren’t working either, so kicking one won’t set off the automatic alarm. All I want to do is quickly finish my work here and leave peacefully, but if this takes too long, I will line you all up by the windows. Now, a question: who wants to be my human shield against Anti-Skill snipers!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She must have talked too much without breathing any more helium because her voice was starting to return to normal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The girl inserted a spray can’s thin tube in the gap between her skin and the thick hot dog mask and inhaled some helium.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You four with the slack-jawed stares!! You’re gonna want to stay on my good side cause whoever I like the least gets to be the one to walk out in front of the TV cameras with a bomb in your hands so you can beg and cry for no one to approach the bank. If that doesn’t sound like fun to you, then do as I say!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino Shizuri had sat up by this time and she slowly raised her hands when the large handgun was aimed her way. Very slowly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Killing that girl would be easy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In fact, she had left enough openings for Meltdowner to kill her at least three times over by now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“(Be careful, Mugino. You gain nothing by acting out in a bank full of security cameras. There are also laser and ultrasonic senors. The microwaves are probably blocked by that Diffuser that emits an invisible mist, but the point is the bank uses several different kinds of sensor. I can also see directional microphones in the floor. I think those are meant to detect the footsteps of someone wearing meta-materials. Anyway, this is a bad location for us. Not to mention all the witnesses.)”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“(You might be hailed as a hero in the evening news, but after they super research your identity some more, you’ll be listed as a wanted criminal in tomorrow’s morning news.)”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That made it hard to intervene.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The robber was covering her face. Did that mean the line for the special emergency buttons had been cut, but all the security cameras were still functioning? Self-taught criminals could develop their skills in weird directions, so what had this girl done? If she had cut all the lines, Mugino could just kill her without worrying.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“(You’re kidding me. These days a bank branch will only have maybe 20 million in cash sitting around. Why would you risk your future attacking here? You’d make more money attacking an armored car going around to the ATMs.)”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“(In the end, I think the money is a diversion,)” said Frenda. “(Look, Mugino. She surreptitiously stuck something into the outlet on the wall. That thing with all the cords. The door next to it is the special consultation room for high value account holders, right? Bugging that room will give you tons of advance information on stocks and futures. The room is meant for corporate executives and investors to receive consultations on loans and trades.)”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“(So it’s an information source for insider trading. Does she want to set up a cycle of continual profit instead of making money off a single robbery?)”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Did this mean the outdated bank robber had wracked her brains to come up with some way of not being left behind by the times?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And Item wasn’t about to stay quiet about this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They were a dark side team.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Their lives and assets had been put at risk by a criminal’s attempt at profit. They saw that as picking a fight with them. The etiquette about not involving ordinary people no longer applied.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not even a dark side team could take things too far with the bank’s strict security, but Item didn’t intend to take this sitting down. …Letting someone get away with this once would be mistaken as an opportunity by the industry as a whole and there would soon be attacks at government offices, public facilities, and relay cameras. If that happened, the victims of the stray shots would be the same kind of ordinary people who made up the majority of the people in the bank now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Frenda,” was all Mugino said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That robber has a gun, right? So in the end, I say we get it to misfire and blow her hand off. That rids her of her weapon and badly injures her, so it’s two birds with one stone.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frenda rattled off her response without even having to think about it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata gave her a look like she was inspecting the product on a shopping show.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Can you really super do that?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Why would you think I can’t? In the end, I am the Academy City Bomber and I hope I don’t have to explain to you that guns use explosives.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frenda brushed her fluffy blonde hair off her shoulder and a small cylinder mysteriously appeared in her hand. That assassin’s handgun was about the size of a lipstick tube and held only one round. She could completely hide its presence by holding it in her palm. That the tiny thing included a suppressor and flash hider demonstrated just how insane the Academy City Bomber was.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The cute menace operated the weapon with practiced ease and a bullet flew from the bottom end. It was based on a 9mm, but it wasn’t made made of lead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino didn’t seem particularly surprised.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“A disappearing bullet, huh?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Technically it’s made by using a press to compress a clump of dust at 80 thousand atmospheres. When the bullet shatters and scatters through the air, the forensics team will ignore the pieces even if they do find them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The robber’s gun would end up rupturing from an exterior impact instead of from within, so there would actually be room for suspicion, but the bullet fired from a second gun would never be found and, more importantly, the first gun belonged to a criminal. The normal(?) conclusion would be that the exterior of the gun had already been damaged from rough usage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The robber girl took a silver attache case from the sweaty branch manager.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She put on quite the act for someone who wasn’t actually after the cash.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Perfect. Oh, and there is a reason for the locations being hit, so do look into that after I leave. If you don’t solve the puzzle, people much like me will keep doing this.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It wasn’t just an issue of lax security. Her point was to ask why this specific branch had been singled out as especially lax. That meant someone on the inside had leaked information. …But the branch manager didn’t seem to notice. He was too busy holding a security paintball gun behind his back and waiting for an opportunity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Item couldn’t care less what harm came to the VIPs who used that secret conference room in the back of the bank.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But they had come to the bank because the link between Mugino’s phone and credit card wasn’t working. Any further problems and the bank would be unable to continue its ordinary duties for the day. Mugino couldn’t stand having to wait a full day without solving this little annoyance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“In the end, are you really gonna do it here, Mugino? If we wait for her to leave, we won’t have to worry about the bank’s cameras.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If that dumb bitch takes one step outside the building, this gets promoted from ‘attempted robbery’ to ‘robbery’. Then Anti-Skill will really start working on it, making it all a huge pain in the ass, so I’m crushing her now.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Fair.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No matter how foolish it was, that girl was still a bank robber. If she had worked out a plan and broken in, she had to have put some real effort into this. She wouldn’t just thoughtlessly leave through the front entrance. There had to be a secret entrance for safely carrying in large quantities of cash. And secrets were worthless if they had been leaked. Reforming an entire sturdy building was hard, so they preferred not to let even Anti-Skill and the fire department know about them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In this case, it was a nearby silver door that looked like no more than a small fire door.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, the two keypads were unusual for a simple fire door.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If they were going to do this, it had to be when the girl was so confident of her success she had let her guard down. In other words, now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata had nothing to do, but she figured she should at least stay in a position that let her protect Takitsubo from any stray shots. It was during that somewhat detached decision that she noticed something.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The robber girl was acting weirdly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was whispering something. Kinuhata focused on that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A young male voice came from the robber girl’s phone, like a synthetic voice reading a text.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You are falling behind the timetable we gave you. Hurry up and end it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“(But someone is going to end up taking the fall for this, won’t they? Insider trading is a crime. If suspicion falls on whoever uses the conference room, won’t they get arrested by mistake?)”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Did you think you were in any position to defy us?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“(Point made! I’ll do it – I’ll set it up like you said, so keep your hands off my parents!)”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…Ughhh.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata Saiai heard it all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She quite earnestly wished she hadn’t heard that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So was this person just an ordinary person who was being threatened by a specialist!?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Th-this is crazy. Have criminals gone so far past blackmailing people into picking pockets that they’re getting them to attack banks!?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wasn’t the Diffuser supposed to block EM waves? Or was she communicating using IR?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mugino Shizuri was already in murder mode. Her dark side persona had switched on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Item would show no mercy when a villain bared their fangs against them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If Kinuhata tried to protect the girl, she could get killed right along with her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A glance over at Frenda was enough to tell she was super serious about this too. She toyed with the one-shot assassin’s handgun hidden in her palm and licked her lips. That was the look she got when she was preparing to “play with” a powerful dark side foe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata Saiai stepped to the side, blocking Frenda’s line of fire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This person didn’t seem to be powerful or from the dark side at all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“(Huh!? In the end, acting like a klutz won’t make me find you cute, you stupid dead weight!)”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata-chan didn’t let the fierce irritated glare from the older girl get her down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(I can’t help it. If I super don’t do this, you’ll kill an ordinary person who’s only being threatened! I don’t know what the response to that will be, but it’s possible Item as a whole will be branded a team of dumbasses who accidentally killed an innocent person!!)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That stopped Frenda, but there was still Mugino.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then Takitsubo Rikou detonated a fire extinguisher.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That blocked the robber girl’s view, but it also hit Mugino Shizuri.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wow.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Gyahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As white foam covered anything and everything around, Takitsubo accurately and gently grabbed the robber girl’s hand. She then obtained a firm grasp on the wrist of the hand holding the gun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Uh!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“(This way. You too, Kinuhata.)”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takitsubo super intentionally raised her voice for the next part.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Mugino, you’re in the clear. The fire extinguisher foam will keep anyone from seeing, so start blasting with Meltdowner.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Cough, cough. Not your best ad lib, you idiot! I can’t see a damn thing! And don’t use my name and esper name here!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now Mugino definitely wouldn’t start firing blindly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takitsubo and the other two made their way to the inconspicuous back entrance for armored cars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…Kinuhata Saiai followed along as told, but then she tilted her head. Huh? Was there any real reason for her to escape too?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But she had already exited into the small employee parking lot in the back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Returning now to the bank packed full of killer intent would be mega awkward.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So the three of them walked from alley to alley until the robber girl held the handgun to Kinuhata’s temple while so worked up she was trembling. Wait, why did that track suit girl let her break free so easily!?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It looked like the girl had passed some kind of limit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And someone like this was actually more likely to kill someone than an always cool and composed assassin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wh-who are you people!? Stop right there! I can’t take any more of this! Nothing’s going as planned and you’re just making it all so much more compli-”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’ll be super taking that.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With that causal comment, Kinuhata now had the gun in her hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The robber girl’s eyes widened and Kinuhata gave her an exasperated look.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What, have you never heard the standard theory? Even the Anti-Skill manuals super tell you to keep your gun out of the suspect’s reach when aiming at them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Plus, Kinuhata had Offense Armor, so she didn’t even have to risk her life to snatch the gun away. It helped a lot to be able to tank a gunshot. When you weren’t worried at all, you could move swiftly and accurately.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Track suit girl Takitsubo gestured toward the direction of the bank with her chin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If you still want to follow your plan, you can always return to the bank. Armed Anti-Skill officers will probably be rushing in right about now, making it a nightmare for you, though. Not to mention that Mugino will use whatever openings she can find in the chaos to come kill you.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Who the hell is Mugino?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The mystery bikini girl had shifted from anger to trembling. She quivered like a wet puppy. Even though the helium had run out and her natural voice was a mature-sounding alto.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You will die if you don’t stray from your plan,” said Takitsubo with no emotion in her voice. “So can you be brave for now?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The (attempted) robber girl nodded over and over. Something wobbled up and down in front of her face. Why didn’t she just remove that thick hot dog mask already?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Emergency vehicle sirens passed close by, distorted by the Doppler effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata sighed in exasperation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But she does have a point: super what do we do now? She’s still at risk, so we’ll have done a poor job of saving her if we just let her go.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Kinuhata, she’s being threatened right? So let’s take out whoever’s at the top.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You make that sound super easy, but we’re combat experts who take jobs from the Voice on the Phone. I can’t imagine Mugino permitting us to pour a bunch of money into helping someone in need when there’s no profit in it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Worse than that, she sees this robber as an enemy of Item. Mugino will probably kill her as soon as she finds her, so we can’t let Mugino find out about this.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Huh? Hold on. Does that super mean…?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The blank-faced and harmless track suit girl explained what she meant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Without prevarication.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If we really want to save this girl, we need to betray Mugino.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kinuhata’s mouth formed a small triangle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No one had told her that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No one had said this would mean that. They hadn’t even hinted at it!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Wait, hold on, why are you more super into this than I am? Takitsubo-san? Hey, wait!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’m trying to protect you, Kinuhata. I can’t believe you would turn on Mugino to protect a criminal stranger. How can I abandon someone so careless?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Or are you going to give up here and go home? By abandoning that bank robber? That would be a lot easier for me.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Okay, we have our work cut out for us.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You must know how terrifying Mugino Shizuri is more than anyone else!! You’ve been with her the longest!!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You mustn’t forget.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takitsubo Rikou was also a member of Item. She too was one of those super dangerous people.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Bonus Story 3: The World Seen from Behind the Counter==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Queen Size had been rapidly growing as a business in recent years, making it one of the best known in the entire kingdom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Enoisa Holysign, manager of the Queen Size inn in the capital, was almost always found lazily leaning on the front counter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She lived for messing with the brave adventurers who patronized her inn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;Oh, here’s one now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her arrow-like tail stood erect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She could tell the long-term residents apart based on how the floorboards creaked below their strides. But this wasn’t a skill unique to her. She was pretty sure the long-term residents could do the same with each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Next, she heard voices coming from the stairs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What was your underwear doing balled up there, Lady Seliphenia!? For that matter, you have way too much stuff in there for an inn room.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, c’mon, Gilbezos. You should’ve just pocketed them as soon as you found them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hm? What in the world could I do with them?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, dear. That is quite a high-level question there. Is this a ploy to get me to say it out loud for you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once the footsteps arrived on the first floor, Enoisa raised a hand in greeting while still leaning on the counter. It was her usual daily ritual.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Good morning, Gilbezos. Now, a question: what is this aroma wafting in from the kitchen?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hm? Now that you mention it…it’s kind of stinging my eyes. I can’t imagine wanting to eat whatever that is. No, wait, don’t tell me!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Tah dah! Today is the once-a-week gross food day☆”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Nooooo!! I completely forgot about that!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…This did help prevent him from losing track of the day of the week, but he didn’t see any advantage beyond that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What exactly is it? It isn’t going to be a surprise mystery dish, is it?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hmm, I guess I can announce this one in advance. It’s sticky acid fish made by stuffing a catfish’s belly full of lemons.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ugh. …So it’s going to be sour, huh?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His caution was understandable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Still, it would be sour. That was better than something super spicy or bitter insect juices. Or so he thought as a gross foods rookie. Sour was actually the most dangerous option for a gross food because it could mask whether or not the food was spoiled.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…On the other hand, these things tended to be weirdly popular with the female customers for health and beauty reasons. A lot of young women would show up for just the food on these days.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“And catfish is actually good if you cook it normally.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The fried catfish we had at that waterside village was great. Better than chicken, I’d say.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was still time before the sticky acid catfish was ready, so Gilbezos and the goddess chose to kill some time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We’ve stayed at this inn awhile, but I still don’t know where all the doors lead. What’s behind that door back there?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gilbezos was indicating a back door the guests generally didn’t use. It was only meant for bringing in and carrying out food and supplies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Then there’s these stairs leading down…wait, does that mean this place has a basement!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Gilbezos, why would you want to explore a dank place like that?” said the goddess. “I recommend exploring inside my clothes instead.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The basement was where the food was stored. The temperature and humidity had to be carefully maintained for raw ingredients that hadn’t been dried or smoked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…That said, why did adventurers get that sparkle in their eyes when it came to exploring? It was like they couldn’t relax until they had opened every drawer and locked door when they entered a building.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Enoisa gave him a languid smile.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Now, now, Gilbezos. You and that outlaw who is sharing your single room without paying us can continue playing in the dining hall. There are plenty of supplies there.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The dining hall was well supplied with games. From the standards like billiards and darts, to playing cards which were something of a gray area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Enoisa, don’t you have to register that as a casino?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Not according to the kingdom’s rules. We don’t hire any dealers and the inn doesn’t set the rates. So as long as it’s nothing more than the guests playing games together and opening their wallets when I’m not looking, we’re not responsible. I mean, how can I prevent something I’m unaware of?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That doesn’t sound entirely legal.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The adult world is complicated♪”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each guest room had its own bath, but there was also a fairly large washing area on the first floor near the entrance. After all, the guests were all adventurers on long journeys or returning from a dungeon. They couldn’t use a normal bath to wash the mud and blood from their clothes and boots. …If they did, they would get slapped and thrown out of the inn.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hey, hey, look what I can do, Gilbezos. I tied a knot in this cherry stem with my tongue☆ Want to try a kiss next?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What are you doing? Maybe you should go sit under the waterfall in the washing area to wash all the impure thoughts from your mind.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Kyah, look how high you are, Gilbezos! Okay, now for a staring contest☆”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hey, stop! This is beyond the pale!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Watching Gilbezos and Seliphenia enjoy themselves from a short distance away, Enoisa narrowed her eyes in appreciation of this peaceful era.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Including how it provided peace for herself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…&#039;&#039;I chose to step down early and abandoned all those monsters who adored the Demon Lord. And now I’m going as far as to make a living by supporting the adventurers and serving them our traditional shadow recipes once a week. I suppose you could call that deplorable behavior.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;But you know what?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;It’s second nature for the villains to betray their friends♪&lt;br /&gt;
