Editing Masou Gakuen HxH:Volume 6 Chapter 3 (section)

===Part 3===

Kizuna came out from the building of the central control room.

The outside had completely become dark. The air was clear, starry sky was spreading above as if they were going to rain down. In exchange of that, the temperature was also going down and his skin felt cold. It would be winter soon at Britain too. There was a lot of time they were sailing near the equator of the Pacific Ocean, so when they neared the coastal area of Britain, all the students and personnel of Ataraxia were trembling.

He thought to traverse the experiment field and return to the dormitory. He could quickly return if he picked a commuter somewhere, but he felt like walking for some reason.

Ahead of the experiment field was pitch black sea of night. The starry sky ended at the horizon as if it was cut off there.

London was certainly ahead of there.

And then ahead of the Entrace was the capital Zeltis. In the end they couldn’t find the whereabouts of Himekawa and the others, but due to their activity as idols, it was impossible to pin down their location.

Even so it was fortunate that they could avoid having a direct confrontation with Aine.




‘――Kizuna.’




“-……Aine-!?”

He looked around him in panic. He felt like he had just heard Aine’s voice calling him.

“Seems like……it’s just my imagination.”

To persuade himself, he said that out loud purposefully. And then he stared fixedly at the darkness where London should be at one more time.

Mysteriously, he had the feeling that Aine was waiting ahead there.

‘But, Aine said she will kill me.

Surely when we meet next we will be fighting each other to kill.’

He shook his head to chase off such thinking, and started to walk once more.

“……Hm?”

Ahead of his path, was a hangar where lighting leaked out. Moreover, there was some kind of commotion.

‘――Did something happen?’

He approached the door of the hangar and quietly peeked inside.

“ARGHHHHH! What alliance with the AU! These weapons can fight equally with the enemy! Give back all of my hard work until now! Just what’s with this mountain of AU’s fleet and magic weaponnnnnnnn!”

It was Kurumizawa Momo of the research department.

Which reminded him, this place was the hangar that Kei took him previously. Inside the huge hangar where even the maintenance of a large transport plane could be carried out, even a simple prefabricated house that was used for the office and sleeping place of the maintenance staff was built there. Inside it Momo was rampaging while looking at the image of the Izgard army. Things like juice cans and food packages were scattered everywhere, documents were also spread on the floor carelessly.

“What are you getting noisy for, Kurumizawa.”

“Ah, Hida-kun! HIDA-KUUUUUUNNN-!”

“Uwaa! Don’t hug me so suddenly-, wait, don’t wipe your nose on me-!”

While flowing out tears and snot, she rubbed her head repeatedly at Kizuna.

“This is cruel! Like this, there is no more turn for me! I’m unemployed in the academy now!”

“Aah……I understand what you want to say but, it’s not like you really became completely useless right?”

Momo lifted her head in a flash.

“Then, there will be a turn for my created weapon at the next operation?”

“Aa―……no, I wonder?”

“SEEEEEE, JUST AS I THOUGHTTTT! UEEEEEEEEEEN”

Momo was trickling out tears like a waterfall once more. Kizuna was quietly looking up at the ceiling with a troubled look.

“Even if for example you didn’t get a turn, that’s because we made a powerful comrade, isn’t this a happy thing?”

Momo howled as if snapping at him.

“It’s not a happy thing! Even though I was finally able to lighten the weight and implemented the power up with great pain! At this rate it won’t even getting evaluated and get discarded to the trash can!”

She grasped a pet bottle and began to gulp it down in one breath.

“Puhaa―! Really, just who― can do this anymore, really―!”

“So you are binge eating and drowning in sake……not, this is just juice. You look nicely drunk huh.”

Kizuna made a wry smile.

Momo violently grasped Kizuna’s arm and dragged him outside the office, they were walking inside the hangar.

“O, oi. Where are you taking me?”

“Look at this!”

At a corner near the wall, weapons were lined in a row. From handgun until large missiles, all were lining up together.

“Heee……this is really a spectacle.”

He wondered just how many there were, the weapons were filling up the huge hangar from one end until the other end.

From rifle that was using orthodox gunpowder, until large cannon, rapid fire cannon, railgun, from small things until large things, the variety was really plenty. And then the missiles too, from things that a person can carry walking around, until missiles with a diameter of two, three meters were also lined up.

“Here! Just look at this.”

Momo was clinging on a large railgun with length of more than five meters while rubbing her cheek on it.

“Aah, if I remember right, it’s Warusaa-kun right?”

“It’s Rugaa-chan! It’s rugaaa from railgun!!”

She was raising a growling voice ‘garuru’ while rattling around her arms and legs. However it was as if she had immediately forgotten her bad mood, she energetically hugged at the nearby rifle. It was a railgun in the style of anti-material rifle with length that reached two meters.

“I remember that one! Yuujirou-kun right!”

The instant he said that full of confidence, his head was struck.

“This is Toshirou-kun!”

“I don’t know that, that’s the first time I heard it!”

“I improved it exactly as Hida-kun requested, so it went through a name change!”

“There is no way I know that!”

Sighing out, he looked down on the rough rifle. And then he ruminated on the sentence Momo just said.

“……What? The improved version, is finished already?”

“I did it―, but, it won’t be― useful anymore though, right―”

She wasn’t drinking but, did she actually have alcohol, or drug, Momo showed a powerless smile while sinking down on the floor.

Kizuna lifted the rifle.

“Indeed it’s lighter……and the carrying method is also……I see, a part to link it with the Gear is attached and it can be fixed on the back. The bullet also became a small size and the number that can be loaded also increased.”

“But― its power is powered up even more you know― ahaha.”

“Isn’t this amazing. With this……hm?”

His eyes caught something piled up at the corner of the warehouse. That thing was in a shape that drew a line with other weapons, it was obviously out of place compared to the surrounding weapons. Engine was installed on a boorish frame and became one with electrical components and so on. Judging it from a glance, he couldn’t think of it as anything but scraps.

But, it was a scrap he remembered seeing before.

“Aah―, that? That’s also in the trash can already. In the first place there is no Core, there is just no leeway to even use that kind of thing right―”

“I see……there is, this.”

Inside Kizuna, something was quietly burning up.

“Hey, Kurumizawa.”

“Mm― whaaat?”

“I want to request a work from you. ASAP.”
