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

===Part 1===

After Nayuta left, everyone looked up to the sky.

It was a beautiful night.

The crescent moon was floating like a ship in the starry sky. A streak of light was stretching within that world of stars. It was a streak of light that was stretching from the land like a bridge that connected to the heaven.

And then there was lively music and people’s cheers.

「Eh!?」

Kizuna looked around in panic.

Below them was a gigantic colosseum. And then there was a huge audience filling it to the brim.

「This place──」

‘The capital of the Vatlantis Empire, Zeltis!?’

「Ki, Kizuna?」

And then beside him was Aine──no, Emperor Ainess Synclavia wearing the emperor’s outfit.

「A, Aine? This place……」

「This is the empire’s throne hall……err, Kizuna? Honestly, my head cannot catch up.」

Kizuna was also the same.

Above the stage in the colosseum, they could see Amaterasu and Masters moving about in confusion. The song’s orchestra was playing, but the singing voices couldn’t be heard. The audience was also noisy seeing that.

In the VIP room on the other side, he could see Reiri and Kei were talking with each other in panic.

Kizuna also put his hand on his forehead and desperately recalled his memory.

「Aine, this place is Zeltis right? Besides this event, it’s after the battle was over……no, after the battle between the joint army of Lemuria and Izgard against Vatlantis was over, the Genesis was repaired, and this is the night of celebration right?」

「Ri, right……it feels like we are coming back to several years ago……or perhaps, were we dreaming……Kizuna, do you remember?」

「Yeah……the fight against the machine gods right? Also in Ataraxia Academy──」

「I don’t know about that though. Hey……it, really happened right?」

When he was asked that, he was unable to answer confidently.

It felt like he had seen a long dream.

「──」

After this late he noticed that there was a figure lying down below his feet.

‘Aa.’

As expected, it was something that really happened.

The proof was sleeping on the floor.

The shadow of the existence who was once a machine god and obtained the flesh of Kizuna’s mother.

The little girl with long golden hair was curling into herself and sleeping.
