Editing Masou Gakuen HxH:Volume 2 Chapter 3 (section)

===Part 3===

After school, Kizuna was heading to the student guidance room.

Due to the Heart Hybrid with Yurishia, he was able to confirm the result of the aforementioned simulator.

However thinking about Himekawa’s preference, what could it possibly be?

He had the feeling that his distance with her had been greatly shortened by helping out with the work of public morals committee. If he could understand Himekawa’s preference well, then their Heart Hybrid might go well.

When he opened the door and entered the student guidance room, there was Himekawa standing near the window in the light of the evening sun.

“Sorry I’m late. I was called by the teacher a little. Today where are we going to do the crackdown――”

“Hida-kun!”

She pressed on him in one go.

“Waa, wha, what! What’s wrong?”

“What do you think!?”

‘Hee!? Wha, what!? Is it about, Himekawa?’

“No, that, I think you are beautiful, you also have serious personality……”

“……What are you talking about?”

“Eh? Isn’t this about you Himekawa?”

Himekawa’s face turned flaring red.

“Wha-, ple, please don’t say something stupid! I, I’m beautiful or something is……wait, this is not that kind of talk! This is about that category-Ultra! Just how long are we going to wait until the decision to attack Guam again will come out!?”

“Ah! Tha, that’s what you are talking about. No, I also don’t know anything about that.”

‘This is bad, I completely made an embarrassing mistake. I wonder if Himekawa is thinking I’m strange now.’

Himekawa kept prattling on and on with her face still red.

“Since then, we have been in stand by all this time. I’ve already reached the limit of my patience. Let’s go to the commander right now to express our opinion!”

‘――That’s……,

Frankly speaking, as long as Nee-chan doesn’t give the order, I don’t think that a permission to sortie will come out.’

Besides, he didn’t feel the necessity to once again attack Guam in such a hurry.

In a certain meaning, he could even say that the information they collected about AU from their infiltration to the enemy territory had produced unexpected result.

Rather, he didn’t understand just why Himekawa was being this impatient.

Having his resistance cut down by Himekawa, Kizuna headed together with her toward the principal’s room. However――,

“Rejected.”

Reiri settled it all with a single word.

“Just why!? Even though there is enemy right in front of our eyes, why――”

“There is no prospect of victory.”

“……Kuh!”

Reiri’s answer was simple. With that Himekawa was thrust with a fact that was hard for her to approve.

“Bu, but, we cannot leave them alone just because of that!”

“What can we do other than leaving them alone? What are you planning to go there without any countermeasure?”

“Of course, to defeat the enemy! Isn’t that right, Hida-kun?”

Himekawa looked for agreement from Kizuna.

Naturally, you are my ally――she was making a face that was thinking so.

“Tha, that’s……”

“Hida-kun? What’s wrong? Let’s fight together!”

‘――-.

That’s impossible.’

“That’s impossible, Himekawa.”

“……Eh?”

Himekawa’s smile froze.

“Even if we go now, we will lose again.”

“Tha, that’s……”

Himekawa’s complexion was turning pale rapidly.

“The difference in battle strength with the enemy is obvious. Until we find a method to overturn that, it’s better to not force ourselves challenging them again. Even if we go now, it will only make everyone meet danger.”

“Are you……scared……”

Himekawa stepped back from Kizuna.

“No! I――”

“……I was convinced that, you understand me……what a great misunderstanding I’ve made.”

“Please wait! We cannot go right now, we should――”

“I misjudged you!!”

Himekawa rushed out from the principal room.

“Himekawa!!”

Kizuna also chased after Himekawa and wasted no time to exit to the corridor. However, he could only see the figures of teaching staff coming and going, he couldn’t find Himekawa’s figure anywhere.
