Editing Masou Gakuen HxH:Volume 13 Chapter 3 (section)

===Part 9===

Aine and Grace were watching the farewell live show from the emperor’s throne room.

They were sitting on magnificent chairs that were placed side by side while staring at the stage below.

Even so, while watching the performance of Amaterasu, for some reason it was Aine who was getting embarrassed.

「……Both Hayuru and Yurishia are really doing well there.」

She spoke in exasperation, but her eyes that were watching her comrades’ stage looked like they were having fun somewhat. Grace’s feeling was becoming heavy when she stared at that expression from the side.

「Say Nee-sama……this might sound obstinate but, is it really okay?」

「What?」

「I’m saying, is Nee-sama really fine staying in Vatlantis to become the emperor?」

「Ah, that matter?」

Aine answered lightly with a smile.

「I have made you feel really lonely all this time……but, I will be together with you from now on.」

「I’m happy to hear that but……Nee-sama will be separated from the world you have been living in for many years because of that you know?」

「Originally I was born and raised here. There is no problem.」

「That’s true, but the biggest problem is……Nii-sama.」

「……It can’t be helped. Kizuna was born and raised in Lemuria. Both Lemuria and Ataraxia need Kizuna. There is no way Kizuna can remain behind by himself in Vatlantis just for the sake of me alone.」

Grace made a difficult face and crossed her arms. And then she addressed the Quartum who were standing by behind her.

「What do you all think?」

The Quartum, Clayda, Elma, Lunorlla, and Ramza looked at each other’s face.

The blonde haired Clayda who was wearing an eye patch cocked her head in puzzlement while answering.

「As I thought, is it better to imprison him?」

The white haired Elma also nodded.

「That’s right. We have also done that before anyway.」

Lunorrla who had scars all over her body muttered vacantly.

「It will be simple……if he receives Zel-sama’s brainwashing.」

The red haired Ramza looked around restlessly.

「Speaking about that, where is Zel-sama?」

Aine immediately rejected the four’s opinion.

「No way. It will be execution if anyone turns their hands to Kizuna.」

The emperor’s authoritative announcement caused the four to tremble.

「Nee-sama……」

Aine let out a loud voice to drown out Grace’s worried voice.

「Ah! The next song is my favorite! Well, it will be even better if I’m the one singing it though!」

「Nee-sama……you know」

Aine stood up to shake off Grace’s attempt at continuing, and then she went until the edge of the throne room to watch from there.

「Hee, the whole of Amaterasu and Masters are singing together! Nice show! I’ll give them my praise!!」

──’Nee-sama.’

The back of her high-spirited big sister looked really lonely to Grace.
