Prologue

"Yaya is really cute. Yaya is too cute. She's the cutest girl in the world."

The girl held her hands together and spoke those words like a prayer.

In the afternoon sunlight, the train flying over the rails blew its whistle. It was heading from London to Liverpool. In the second-class wagon sat two people wearing exotic clothes.

From their appearance, it seemed that they were Orientals, this pair consisting of a boy and a girl.

It wasn't only their appearance that was strange, but also because they seemed to be really lacking common sense. The girl's body was leaning towards the sleeping boy wrapped in thick clothing, while murmuring something in a low voice.

"Yaya is too cute, I love you, Yaya. Yaya has so much charm, Yaya is my wife —"

That whispering suddenly stopped.

The boy had opened both of his eyes and was gazing forward with a sharp look.

"...So you woke up, Raishin."

"What are you saying near someone else's ear?

"To make Raishin fall for Yaya, Yaya is reciting a charm."

"It's not really that, right? You just want to pollute my spirits, right?"

Completely ignoring the accusations, the girl heartily looked outside the window and said:

"Raishin, look, we have already arrived at 'Machine City'."

"Sigh, we've finally arrived. It has already been half a day since we departed from London. I'm so tired that even my butt is starting to hurt."

"The 'Greatest School in Western Europe' is very close now."

The girl said with a smile on her face.

"We will be attending that school full-time, right?"

"Yeah."

"Then there will be only the two of us alone the entire night, right?"

"You can put it like that..."

"We can continue these sleepless nights then?"

"Nope. I want to sleep, okay? If you cause some mess, I'll throw you out, okay?"

"......!?"

"Why are you putting on an expression of sorrow as if you've been bullied? By the way, we aren't here to play."

An expression of doubt appeared on the girl's face, while her black pupils painfully shuddered.

"...It should be on this street that the Wiseman's night party is organized."

A panicked expression immediately appeared on the girl's face.

"The magicians launched that bloody party in order to choose the supreme ruler..."

"Aah. It will entirely depend on you."

"Yeah. If it is for Raishin, whether it is to jump through water, tread on fire, or to jump directly in your bed..."

"Let's forget about the bed."

"Is this what we call a virg—"

"What are you saying? What the hell are you saying with that pure face?"

"If it is Raishin's wish, Yaya will accept wholeheartedly, with dedication, even if it is outside or under the stares of the public."

"I'm very grateful for your concern, but I'm sure you've got something wrong. I'm not asking you to try hard for those sort of things, understand?"

While their conversation continued like that, the view of a modern city passed by next to them.

From the wagon's windows, it could be seen that both sides of the streets had buildings of concrete standing next to each other. Running on the asphalt road were model T Ford cars imported from the United States, while in the small plaza next to the street there were machine automatons selling coffee. The automatons' bodies were made of tin, and their clumsy movements were unnatural no matter how you looked at it.

Machinart's metropolis, Liverpool.

It is an exporter of Manchester's huge amounts of cotton towards every front line base in the world; a city which the British Empire considers a world trading port, and now, second only to the academic city of Cambridge.

Not long after that, the train entered a modern station with an iron dome&mdash.

It left immediately, and with quite a great speed.

"Why isn't the train stopping?" "That was the terminal station!"

The travellers became noisy, and weren't happy to ask these kind of questions.

At that time, the train conductor quickly ran towards them.

"Everyone, please! Please calm down and listen to what I'm about to say."

The train conductor was shaking, and continued with a trembling voice.

"The brakes won't work!"

There wasn't even the sound of a fly in the wagon.

The next moment, everyone in the train panicked.

"Everyone please calm down! It's fine, the train will stop naturally on its own!"

But that voice disappeared in the midst of lamentations and anger, so it couldn't reach anyone.

However the train showed no signs of slowing down, since it was probably on a downhill slope. If it was travelling towards the bottom, it can't stop naturally.

The train conductor was shaking uncontrollably, as if it indicated that he was about to give up. Then—

"EVERYONE, PLEASE RETURN TO YOUR SEATS!"

The sights of everyone were focused on a single person.

The one who just yelled that was the boy who had been chatting with the girl just before.

He wasn't tall and looked fragile, but his gaze was as sharp as that of a predator. .

Beside him was standing a girl wearing a kimono, whose size was quite short, with her legs showing under the flat fabric while openly exposing her shoulders as white and shiny as snow. She had beautiful features, and at first glance, she gaves an impression of being unsophisticated—the harmony was just perfect, as if she was an art piece. The black hair reaching her waist was flashing of a moisted luster, and her healthy-looking skin was wet and delicate.

Considering that they gave a different feeling compared to others, the passengers quietly waited for those two to proced to the next step.

"Mr. Train conductor, also tell to the passengers in the wagon behind, that they cannot leave their seats no matter what."

The boy said that as if giving an order. The train conductor nodded repeatedly, and ran towards the wagon behind.

After seeing the train conductor leaving, the boy's gaze wavered through the wagon, and finally stopped on the seat beside him.

There was a young little sister cuddling in her big sister's bosom, cringing to her.

She had a timid expression in her eyes, and with her little young body, looked even weaker than a squirrel hanging to its life.

The boy showed a choppy smile to the little girl, and patted her head.

"Don't worry, you'll be saved for sure."

The boy took off his clothes, easily sneaked out from the window to climb to the wagon's roof, with the girl wearing a kimono lithely following him behind.

The two of them ran towards the head of the train as if they were acrobats.

"Look at that, Raishin!"

"There's...a curve ahead."

On the rails in front, there was a big curve, so if the train arrives there, it will certainly derail!

"So make the train stop beforing getting there. Shinkan 48 shou. (T/N:Calm forest; 48 clashes)

"Yes!"

The girl kicked the front of the train head, and jumped forward in the same direction as the train. Since it got the rection force from the move, the train immediately slowed down.

The girl flew towards the sky like a bullet, and got on the ground quite far from the initial place, but the train still didn't stop. As the distance continually shortened, they were going to collide in a flash!

The pedestrians on the road noticed that something was wrong, and started screaming.

The boy didn't panic, and put his own body on the front of the train head, ready to receive the shock.

Then, he spread out both of his hands towards the girl.At this moment, a white flame was suddenly shot, and as if it was a lock, and connected the boy and the girl together.

The girl was already in front of his eyes. Several hundred tons of mass were already added on the girl's body.

Then, she charged!

It was an attack to cave in the steel body of the train. The passengers in the wagons behind fell down one after the other, and ended up in mid-air.
