Editing Masou Gakuen HxH:Volume 14 Chapter 1 (section)

===Part 8===
──Magic weapon, it was the main weapon of Vatlantis Empire, the invader from other world, an unmanned invasion weapon.

The AU Collision that happened twice in the past. At that time Entrances, contact point with other world materialized everywhere in the world. A great number of magic weapons invaded into this world from there and carried out destruction and massacre repeatedly.

But that battle had ended and the Entrance had also vanished. That was why magic weapon also shouldn’t exist.

That was how it should be.

When Kizuna rushed into the command room, Aine, Yurishia, and Sylvia were already gathering there. Kizuna didn’t even greet them and yelled toward Reiri.

「Just what in the world is going on, why is magic weapon here!?」

Reiri was sitting on the commander’s seat and staring at the monitor that was projecting information one after another.

「The security system has still only detected the mana energy──but, the measured value is resembling magic weapon. We’re in the middle of collecting information right now. Wait there quietly.」

When he looked at the first floor, he could see there were the thirty seats for operator and students twice that number moving around busily.

Everyone was frenzied with anxiety and impatience. But that couldn’t be helped.

Various feelings were also whirling inside Kizuna.

Why was magic weapon here now?

Could it be, another AU Collision had occurred?

If the other party was Grace or Gravel, there should be some kind of contact from them. But then why magic weapon was sent here instead?

Even Hayuru who came together with Kizuna was frowning in doubt.

「Isn’t this some kind of mistake? Because, we were told that AU Collision won’t happen again……」

Yurishia folded her arms as though to lift up her huge breasts from below and gave a smile of agreement with Hayuru.

「Yes. Isn’t the system mistaking a new weapon of a country somewhere with magic weapon?」

Everyone was looking up to the monitor that was displaying the world map. There the location of the magic weapon was displayed. From the direction of its movement, it looked like it was heading here from South America continent.

「Is the plan to evaluate its capability with all of us here desu?」

Sylvia shrank into herself like a scared little animal.

「Something like that doesn’t matter!!」

Aine who was quiet until then suddenly yelled.

Her movement made her silver hair that reached until her butt to become disheveled and she stared at Reiri with wavering red eyes.

「Is that magic weapon the real thing!? What about the Entrance? Where did it appear!?」

Aine desperately maintained her calm, but even that had reached the limit. And then after it crossed the limit, her rampaging emotion couldn’t be braked.

Kizuna gently touched Aine’s shoulder.

「Aine, calm down. We only know that the reading is similar to a magic weapon, but we still don’t know its true identity. Right now let’s wait for more information.」

「But! Perhaps we’ll be able to come and go to Vatlantis again you know!? Perhaps we’ll be able to meet with everyone, with Grace!!」

Aine’s pleading that even sounded like a cry hurt Kizuna’s chest.

「You’re right……sorry, Aine.」

──I want Aine to be here. Aine answered that wish of mine and threw away Atlantis and her position as Vatlantis emperor and stayed here for me. She discarded the world where she spent her childhood in, her beloved little sister, and the vassals who look up to her.

Kizuna grimaced and clenched his fist tightly.

──For Aine living in Lemuria is something that she need to pay a lot of sacrifices for. Even I am thinking that I want to meet again with Grace and Gravel so much. However, the strength of Aine’s feeling should be incomparable with mine.

Was Aine’s presence here in this world really leading to her happiness?

Was he simply forcing Aine to make a sacrifice just to satisfy his own ego?

Aine returned to her senses seeing Kizuna’s pained face.

「Ah……tha, that’s not it. Kizuna, that’s not it.」

Aine clung on Kizuna’s chest with a panicked face.

「I didn’t mean that when I spoke just now. It’s true okay? That’s why Kizuna, don’t make that face.」

「……Thank you Aine. But, it’s also the truth that I’m making Aine to feel lonely.」

「That’s why I’m telling you that’s not it!」

Tension ran through the atmosphere of the command room.

Hayuru forcefully made a smile to interrupt the two.

「Ca, calm down……Aine-san.」

Aine didn’t pay any attention to Hayuru who was trying to calm her down and pressed on Kizuna.

「I’m here because I decided it myself! That’s why I’m here! I wasn’t forced by anyone!」

「Aine……」

At that time, an excited voice of an operator came.

「The satellite data arrived! It’ll take several seconds for the 3D processing──the picture is complete!!」

Everyone held their breath and looked up to the giant screen on the wall.

And then──,

「What!?」

「That’s!?」

「Unbelievable!!」 <ref>This one is said in English, not Japanese</ref>

「FUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!?」

Everyone raised a surprised voice.

「What, the……」

Reiri glared at the object projected in the screen with a grim gaze.

It was something extremely familiar for them.

It was a dragon with long neck.

A winged torso.

On its back was a humanoid upper body.

Its true identity was already clear to anyone watching.

Aine’s lips muttered its name.

.

「……Dragre.」

.

It was an opponent that they had fought in the past many times.

Category A class magic weapon.

Reiri stood up.

「Amaterasu, march out! Wake up the Masters too!」

The command room became flurried all at once.

The true identity was now known but, it created many more bewilderment and questions. In order to solve it there was no other way that to actually clash with it.

「Let’s go! Everyone!!」

「Roger!!」
