Editing Masou Gakuen HxH:Volume 11 Fifth Period (section)

===Part 2===

「What, is this!?」

Reiri who arrived in Nayuta Lab raised a shocked voice inside Kei’s research room.

「This is the current state of Ataraxia. I completely don’t understand how it became like this.」

What was reflected there was an image photo that was taken from the sky. But, the picture was far different from what she was used to seeing. It looked like a theme park somewhere.

There was an unfamiliar Victorian-style townscape that appeared at the place where the business district was located, besides it was the townscape of the Edo period that looked like a historical drama set. At the place where there should be the academy, there was a mysterious castle, a desert and a forest, then a townscape in Middle Age Europe style all assembled compactly.

Furthermore that world was continuing to propagate, almost swallowing this Nayuta Lab in no time at all.

「This kind of phenomenon……thinking normally we won’t even know the cause or how to deal with it. But, Reiri. We happen to know about the only existence that can possibly cause this phenomenon.」

「Uu……」

Reiri trickled cold sweat.

Certainly it was just as Kei said. And then a part of that cause was Reiri herself.

「Furthermore at the same time a part of the image database vanished from the lab. Perhaps the disappearing professor Nayuta is hiding, and looking at that image works then materialize that effect……though, this is already nearly a delusion……」

「No, most likely you are correct……Kei, can we contact Amaterasu?」

「I tried to call them, but there was no response……only one came, but……」

「Just one? Who?」

「……Come over here.」

──’Hm?’

Reiri was surprised that Kei was talking with her physical voice, not by typing text with her keyboard. The reason was because Kei who had extreme communication disorder couldn’t talk directly except with Reiri.

「……Yes, Shikina-san.」

A strangely cute voice replied. The door opened and a figure appeared from the inside room. Seeing that figure, Reiri was dumbfounded for a while.

「Wha……Ki……Kizu, na?」

「Eh? Okaa……san?」

The small body ran *tatata* towards Reiri and then hugged her. The face’s position didn’t even reach until Reiri’s chest.

However, that face, that figure was familiar to her. However it was a story of nearly ten years ago.

「You are……Kizuna?」

The small child Kizuna released his hug and looked up to Reiri.

「Yep.」

He smiled really brightly after replying like that.

──’GUWAAAAAAAAAA! CUTEEEEeeeEEEEEEEE! ♥♥♥♥’

Reiri was writhing inside her heart.

「Ke, Kei……thi, this wonderful, not, this child is really Kizuna?」

「This looks unreal, but it looks like he really is Kizuna. I compared his physical data, and the result was wholly the same. But, it seems that his memory has also regressed to the past.」

And because of that he had mistaken her for Nayuta. Reiri felt irritation from that even while comprehending it.

「Kizuna. I’m not your mother. I’m Reiri.」

「Huh? Eh……but, you’re really……look adult.」

「Aah……it’s a bit of an incident. I’m only temporarily turned into an adult.」

Kizuna stared admiringly at Reiri.

──’As I thought, this is that woman’s fault.’

Most likely the shape of this world, and also Kizuna regressing into a child, were the fault of Nayuta’s drunkenness. She had to apprehend her even for a second faster. Though she also felt a bit regretful to do that though.

「!! Reiri, this place too, is already──」

Kei yelled. At the same time, the inside of the room distorted. Like how paint dissolved in water, the shape of the world was vanishing and whirling.

「Kuh!」

──’This brat is likely Kizuna! That Kizuna has turned into a child should have some kind of meaning.’

Reiri knelt before Kizuna and put her hand on his shoulder.

「Listen Kizuna. Search for mother, your mother, Hida Nayuta!」

「Eh? Search for Okaa-san?」

He tilted his head in puzzlement.

「That’s right, surely──」

Both of them were swallowed by the vortex of the world as though to cut off Reiri’s words.
