| "Say.... Ada...... What do you think that is?"
| |
|
| |
|
| One-B。Take Refuge in our Classroom and hold your breath, then Serges come over and stealthily whisper in my ear.
| |
| I can't find any chimera. Open the closed curtains just a little bit. She was peaking out from over there.
| |
|
| |
| "What did you say? there's nothing isn't there?"
| |
|
| |
| exchange places with me and look at the thing outside. The pitch black sky is spreading without end, only...
| |
|
| |
| "You're wrong. Look over that direction!"
| |
|
| |
| Serges' finger is pointing in the direction of the campus. Stare in that direction for a few seconds. The sky is wriggling.
| |
|
| |
| "Yes.................."
| |
|
| |
| Finally, I understand what my classmate said.
| |
|
| |
| That isn't the sky. I thought it was the sky, but those are deep blueish purple flames. The campus is burning with night colored flames that are converging overhead.
| |
|
| |
| Our concentration was flowing to the small part of a huge, vortex like, flames. Unaware that a glorious gloomy {{Furigana|Channel|Recital Gate}} was born.
| |
| I wasn't too worried until you pointed out that it is too big.
| |
|
| |
| What is that, I do not understand that {{Furigana|Channel|Recital Gate}}, It is way too gigantic. I've never seen a channel that big before.
| |
|
| |
| I much prefer that gate's radiance, it suddenly burst open.
| |
|
| |
| That is the proof that the Recitation has completed
| |
|

| |
|
| |
| "...........Eh?"
| |
|
| |
| Exhausted, Mio leaned against the railing on the rooftop.
| |
|
| |
| The {{Furigana|Channel's|Recital Gate}} radiance grew. I also understood clearly at that moment that the {{Furigana|Channel|Recital Gate}} had completely open.
| |
|
| |
| {{Furigana|High Noble Aria|First Scale Recitation}} invited True Spirits are extremely varied but they all have one thing in common.
| |
| For example that Hydra, the green disease wyvern, and other first recitation summoned things are said to be absurdly huge.
| |
| (Recital Gate)
| |
| From that Channel just what sort of huge thing is coming out?
| |
| I forgot about the twinkling while staring and, How! even though that ring has burst there nothing is coming out.
| |
|
| |
| No way, did it fail?
| |
|
| |
| Let's try to make sure, because the flames which were illuminating the campus disappeared the campus was plunged into darkness for a second time.
| |
|
| |
| "What just happened....."
| |
|
| |
| The only thing that entered my vision was the gigantic shadow that had broken into the school grounds. I don't know the reason why.
| |
| But that monster suddenly diverted its direction, it set foot in the campus.
| |
| If the recital failed then there is nothing that can be done about it. There isn't enough time to do the High Noble Aria (First Scale Recitation) again right now.
| |
| The hydra is drawing closer to the center of the campus. The place where Neight was at up till a bit ago.
| |
| But because of the darkness I couldn't see his figure. I am not even sure if he was able to escape.
| |
|
| |
| Rather didn't see. If Neight is still at that place where the light's being turned on..........
| |
|
| |
| But. with not very ironic timing, the disappearing neon light passed.
| |
| School again light up. For a second time the campus was brilliantly illuminated.
| |
|
| |
| ---------------Please. Somehow don't be there. Please have run away.
| |
|
| |
| my eyelids were in the middle of that scorching radiance, nevertheless I stared at that place ----- and got dizzy.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| 。。。。。。。I can't believe it.
| |
|
| |
| He remained standing in place. Furthermore next to him in the hall was her friend's, supposed to be resting, figure .
| |
|
| |
| "Neight, Kululu run awaaaaaaayyyy!"
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Mio raised her voice from the rooftop. She cannot be heard. But even then she could not shout.
| |
| At this rate the three people will be trampled down by that monster....... eh? three people?
| |
| My eyesight isn't bad. The boy wearing the deep blue colored robe, that is Neight. The girl wearing the white dress, that person is Kleulu.
| |
| The last person, was standing where at the place where Neight was at.
| |
|
| |
| It seemed like the whole body was wrapped in black cloth, a pitch black person. That is, who?
| |
|
| |
| No. Impossible.
| |
|
| |
| Surely the Night's True Spirit is a large thing or so I thought but, because it is that----
| |
|
| |
| *****************************
| |
|
| |
| As for t-h-a-t... nothing materialized from the Channel (Recital Gate) .
| |
|
| |
| In the moment that the Channel (Recital Gate) burst, something rose to the surface from the inside of Neight's shadow.
| |
|
| |
| The Three Dimensional shadow slowly extended its height. And yet, it is obviously small. Just the same as me. No, leaving that aside, it has no choice but a short height. height. So in other words it doesn't have length and it also doesn't have height.
| |
|
| |
| From what I know, that which is before my eyes has the figure of a human.
| |
|
| |
| It is Jet black、but it's body gives a transparent impression. Person clad in shadows. Plus that form in some respects is feminine. It was like the girl wore pitch black paint from the beginning----------- In short this represents probably the closest analogy.
| |
|
| |
| but, before long while she steadily gazed at it, the boy she was next to suddenly shook violently and collapsed.
| |
|
| |
| "ーーーーNeight?"
| |
|
| |
| The boy on the verge of collapsing backwards. Barely in the nick of time, Kluelu supported his right shoulder.
| |
| No matter how many times she called out there wasn't any reply. Then I closed my eyes. Is he unconscious?
| |
| Even though the Hydra will soon go back over here, at a time like this---
| |
|
| |
| 「「That strained feeling loosened up didn't it?」」
| |
|
| |
| Kluele looked over her shoulder. When did the True Spirit of Night get next to them?
| |
|
| |
| 「「But, should I give you praise for doing such a good job holding on I wonder.」」
| |
|
| |
| The Shadow was in the shape of a hand. The fingertip of the shadow gently stroke the boy's face.
| |
|
| |
| "Are you the Night's True Spirit?"
| |
|
| |
| 「「It would seem to be so wouldn't it? Kluelu-san」」
| |
|
| |
| I was startled after suddenly being called by my name.
| |
| Anyhow if it is just like the Bird God I recited out, why does the True Spirit of Night know something like my name?
| |
|
| |
| 「「Fufu, that child taught me.」」
| |
|
| |
| The True Spirit turned her face, looking upwards. In that direction...... The starry night sky was being assimilated。Something giant was flappin it's wings overhead.
| |
|
| |
| Gigantic. I only measured it with my eyes but... if only in terms of size it might even be compareable to the hyrda.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| The floating silhouette that is the school's illumination is shining on..... is this a dragon?
| |
|
| |
| While causing cracks in the earth, the hydra accelerated. While catching a side glimpse of that, the True Spirit of night looks up at the sky..
| |
|
| |
| 「「Arma, I'll take that as an opponent. I will give you the task of making Kluele-san and Neight hide.」」
| |
|
| |
| 「ーーUnderstoodーー」
| |
|
| |
| The Pipe Organ with an extremely low keyboard sounded with a heavy like bass tone. Is that truly it's voice? The concusion weighing down on my head made me want to doubt it. No, but more than that...
| |
|
| |
| Arma? Is it not a name that I know?
| |
|
| |
| 。。。。。no way, this dragon overhead。。。。。
| |
|
| |
| 「「I guess you would say he isn't a Lizard. Though I say that we don't have enough free time for this leisurely conversation.」」
| |
|
| |
| The Jet Black Dragon alighted just behind us. The wind pressure casually swayed our hair.
| |
|
| |
| 「「Evhe, I leave over there to you. Young girl, carry Neight and quickly get on」」
| |
|
| |
| 「Kleulu-san」
| |
|
| |
| For a moment, I saw an optical illusion that a person was behind us. Just like the Bird God of Dawn and Arma, came a voice that wasn't anywhere. The voice suspended in air that came from anywhere was a human girl's voice.
| |
|
| |
| 「Thank you very much. Neight by himself would never had been able to call me out.
| |
| It is surely because you were there that I am now here. In Neight's place, Thank you.
| |
| If you able to do so, give your help to this child afterwards as well.」
| |
|
| |
| This... Child? That is not the mood of a normal speaking style. Almost like you are speaking with regards to your own child.
| |
| In regards to the way this True Spirit uses human words isn't it probably inappropriate?
| |
|
| |
| Are you sure you'd like to ask about that? You'll be perplexed before long, Kluelu your body is so light.
| |
| Without any warning, the Night Colored Dragon grabs us in his forefeet and flaps it's wings.
| |
|
| |
| "Wa, Wait, transport us more carefully!"
| |
|
| |
| While still burdened with Neigh, I held onto Arma's name.
| |
| Because of the speed as well as the very unstable footing, though it was a short distance it felt like it would immediately be the end if we were to fall out.
| |
| That more than anything, this dragon's way of flying is clumsy.
| |
| It isn't used to it huh? If I were to compare the way he brought me here to the Bird God of Dawn, it was way worse.
| |
|
| |
| 「「It has been a long time since he's flown huh?」」
| |
|
| |
| She said such a brazen thing with while having such an innocent expression.
| |
|
| |
| I no longer have any doubt. I thorougly understand that this Dragon is a recited creature.
| |
|
| |
| "。。。。This giant flying lizard"
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| 「「Do you have something to say?」」
| |
|
| |
| This companion would always constantly return my questions, Kluelu shook her head side to side in resignation.
| |
|
| |
| "Nothing. More importantly, If he is big like that then bring him out in the first place!"
| |
|
| |
| 「「Myself and the〈Woman of Origin〉are assosiated type recitations. To recite out one wing is the best of my ability. I can't call out another wing again so soon.」」
| |
|
| |
| This was the first time she had heard of such a special type. But besides the eyes still being closed, there is something I must ask.
| |
|
| |
| 「。。。。。。Just who is that True Spirit?」
| |
|
| |
| Below while standing still was the True Spirit of Night. Somehow it was different. What was different I didn't know.
| |
| However it was a different mood from the Bird God who was there a moment ago and also from this Night Colored Lizard.
| |
| While temporarily both human and True Spirit a seperating line existed, as for that True Spirit it was like she was standing on that line.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| "Evhe, you already said that didn't you, is that the True Spirit's name?"
| |
|
| |
| 「「That isn't a name. Evhe、is the personal name I threw away. As for my daughter, I gave that name to her.
| |
|
| |
| From the low altitude flying, the jet black dragon suddenly increased altitude..
| |
|
| |
| In spite of being close to one's ears a roar sounded on the wind, this True Spirit's voice retained it's vividness.
| |
|
| |
| 「「Evheーーー〈Woman of Origin〉who brought the Night Colored Recital into this world.」」
| |
|
| |
| Night Colored Recitation into this world? With that reply, she fixes her eyes on the boy carried on her back.
| |
|
| |
| "Yes, because isn't that Neight's?"
| |
|
| |
| 「「It seems you also had heard. The one who constructed the Night Colored Recitations was not Neight, it was his mother.」」
| |
|
| |
| More and more I don't understand the significance. Neight's mother should be dead,
| |
| To say she used Night Colored Recitations I understand but, why because of that is the True Spirit of Night's name Evhe?
| |
|
| |
| Before you enquire about that before, quickly tell the other person what information you want to be conveyed.
| |
|
| |
| 「「Your ears are closed. I've got things to do」」
| |
|
| |
| "。。。。things to do?"
| |
|
| |
| 「「Roar」」
| |
|
| |
| That excessively concise word caused my whole body to shake with fright.
| |
| Roar you say, wa... wait a minute! My left hand is injured and my right hand is carrying Neight!
| |
|
| |
| If you can, do it with some moderation because I can't plug up something like my earsーー
| |
|
| |
| Her wish is in vain, Kluelu lost consciousness for a moment when the Jet Black Dragon let loose it's roar.
| |
|
| |
| 「「One Wing Master (Transient Master) ------- My Name is <Fang Stripping Being (Amadeus) >
| |
| 「「O she saira qersonie Laspha --- Armadeus 。
| |
| Lonely Night's Daughter of Darkness attract, invite this legitimate successor.
| |
| Night's Recital Obey, Furthermore I make that known to the world!」」
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| That voice was not heard just at the school, it extended as far as the extreme ends of the world.
| |
|
| |
| High in the sky the dragon flapping its wings did not give chase, The hydra set their sights on the small True Spirit who is remaining above ground.
| |
|
| |
| I also smell a dangerous scent from that giantic dragon. But what is really unpleasant is, this small True Spirit that is standing still before my eyes.
| |
|
| |
| It is from this True Spirit for sure, I can sense something threatening us.
| |
|
| |
| The Hydra spits out a scorching hot long breath and the campus changes once again to a sea of flames.
| |
| The place that the True Spirit of Night was at up until now completely burns up.
| |
|
| |
| There is no evidence, The True Spirit of Night disappeared just before from the place she was standing in. Not enough, the hydra so judged just before.
| |
|
| |
| 「Too bad, but this school is also an important place to me」
| |
|
| |
| This hydra heard this voice coming from overhead. The voice's direction was an enemy to rely on, five necks turn while they search, staring at their surroundings.
| |
|
| |
| 「Coming along and doing whatever you please, Let me give you the thanks for that!」
| |
|
| |
| Before long. 10 eyes became glued to to the end of the campus. Above ground easily 20 meters in height.
| |
|
| |
| The Jet Black True Spirit was soaring just above the iron light pole established on campus.

| |
|
| |
| "Say Miller, are we seeing a dream?"
| |
|
| |
| Zessel forgot to wipe the sweat running down his face, he keeps looking up at the dragon overhead.
| |
| In the middle of the Night Colored curtain, a jet black dragon flaps its wings in empty air.
| |
| The excessively giantic heroic dragon. It shouldn't be a mistake that it is recital creature but, just what color is that True Spirit?
| |
|
| |
| "。。。。。。I remembered a thing from long ago! A thing from terribly long ago however, you know"
| |
|
| |
| A teacher who wore glasses sighs.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| "How unexpected. So did I"
| |
|
| |
| They forgot to blink at the Night Colored True Spirit, Zessel also spilled another sighed.
| |
|
| |
| The half stagnant memories in the innermost part played, the words that have slept for more than 10 years are resurrected.
| |
|
| |
| ーーーI want to talk about is, Night Colored Recitations.
| |
|
| |
| Elfand period of learning, In the class there was merely one person, a girl was there who had not a single friend that sat at the edge of the classroom.
| |
| I devoted myself to red colored recitations, Miller to blue colored recitations, Ains to white colored recitations
| |
| The girl was the only being who was persuing with strenuous effort for an unaquired color.
| |
|
| |
| However, There's no way, first of all supposing she did complete the Night Colored Recitations,
| |
| if she did that it should have been ok for her name to be resounded throughout the world.
| |
| To the same degree that the Rainbow Colored Recitals is.
| |
|
| |
| And...
| |
|
| |
| The Jet Black Dragon howled at that moment.
| |
|
| |
| 「「One Wing Master (Transient Master) ------- My Name is <Fang Stripping Being(Amadeus) >
| |
| O she saira qersonie Laspha --------------------------------------------------Armadeus。
| |
| Lonely Night's Daughter of Darkness attract, invite this legitimate successor.
| |
| Night's Recital Obey, Furthermore I make that known to the world!」」
| |
|
| |
| Night's Recital obey-------
| |
|
| |
| Lonely night's daughter of darkness-----------
| |
|
| |
| No Way......
| |
|
| |
| "。。。。。Haa, Ahahahahaaa, how can this be!"
| |
|
| |
| His hand was at his forehead, Zessel let out a laugh with a large voice. From the end of his eyes something overflows.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| She only had her self deriding smile. The girl had been treated like a fool. inside the classroom. The girl was neglected by the teachers and the school.
| |
| In spite of all that, are you saying that she will reach out her hand to protect this school?
| |
|
| |
| Should I praise you? Or should I mourn you? What on earth would be good for me to do.
| |
|
| |
| What have we----------
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| "I, Just how foolish have I been I wonder"
| |
|
| |
| "。。。。。Jessica sensei?"
| |
|
| |
| Elfand period's honored teachers were supposed to give guidance to the pupils inside the school building.
| |
|
| |
| "You....... You were right, weren't you. Evhemary"
| |
|
| |
| Without even wiping his tears, That Head Teacher just wholeheartedly kept repeatedly calling out his former student's name.
| |
|
| |

| ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| "S.... Say, why did you suddenly shout!"
| |
|
| |
| Kluele's hand cover her still buzzing ears.... or not, Kluele roared back, "IF I DID THAT IT WOULD BE A TERRIBLE DISASTER!."
| |
|
| |
| 「「The girl who knew her time of death. If only that story was rolling anywhere in the world.
| |
| But humans generally receive that in that place, my daughter hated that fate.
| |
| I am disappearing with nothing remaining, now for what purpose should I exist?ーーー
| |
| as for the girl, she tried to leave something in this world that could be said to be proof that she existed.」」
| |
|
| |
| Compared to the roar just before, the silence was just as long. Arma spoke in a supressed voice like he was speaking to himself.
| |
|
| |
| 「「What the girl kept her eye on was the Night Colored Recitations
| |
| To accomplish something new, so my daughter thought. Studying all alone while her body was said to be whittled away.
| |
| She half completed the finishing touches of her new Recitation Formula in her own way, but it was already to late because of the disease eating into the girl's body.
| |
| In the middle of her nightmare, anxious whether it would be in time, the girl met by chance a single boy.
| |
| That encounter, literally changed the girl's fate」」
| |
|
| |
| Lost while choosing the most apprioriate words. The blank space really gave me that impression impression that he would open and continue.
| |
|
| |
| 「「An chance encounter in their own way, the boy challenged my daughter to a contest. Though would saying challenge be appropriate I wonder.
| |
| It was a bet to see who learn their own recital formula first.」」
| |
|
| |
| "That is, why did something like changing her fate happen?"
| |
|
| |
| 「「The girl was fulfilled. Until now she had no choice but to be lonely.
| |
| She knew her time of death therefore she did not associate with another person.
| |
| She had found a companion who gave approval to herself.
| |
| The person who gave her approval, that is to say the existence of someone who is remembering her.
| |
| Then it is no longer necessary for the sake of the proof of her existence to create the recital formula.
| |
| Hereafter, the girl's feelings began to sway.」」
| |
|
| |
| Kluelu also knows that feeling, to the point of pain.
| |
| Also the reason that girl can grow used to that kindness, I understand.
| |
|
| |
| A few days ago, I gathered the same experience myself.
| |
|
| |
| ーーーーーーAbsolutely Kluelu-san, I think your recitation domain suits you very wellーーーーー
| |
|
| |
| If just one person who gives their approval exists, how much comfort can you gain?
| |
