==Story Synopsis==
"The fourth primogenitor"—that is the world's strongest vampire; one who was supposed to only exist in legends. Accompanied by twelve Kenjuu in spreading catastrophes, this phantom vampire appears in Japan. In order to observe and eliminate the "fourth primogenitor", the governmental organization, Lion King, decides to dispatch an attack mage denoted as a "swords shaman". However, for some reason, the one chosen for the observation was an apprentice "swords shaman" girl, Himegari Yukina. Wielding the strongest anti-primogenitor spirit spear, Yukina arrives at Demon Sanctuary, "Itogami City". What is the true identity of the "fourth primogenitor", Akatsuki Kojou, who she encounters over there!?

Hi,

Currently just lazing around.

Maou na Ore to Fushihime no Yubiwa:Volume 1 Chapter 4

2013-11-20T01:28:21Z

Kurumi:

==Chapter 4 - Dragon Blood==

The next day.

We are visiting the shopping mall in front of the station.

We are aiming for the famous underwear shop that carried everything from striped panties to string panties, "Jewellery Lingerie"... I sincerely wondered what was with that naming sense.

This large-scale shopping mall that opened recently in front of the station had become the main dating spot of the area among young people.

On holidays, the building gets crowded with tons of people but, as expected, on weekdays business gets slow. Since our school was just destroyed, we could come at these kind of hours.

A flower in each hand<ref>Dating two girls at once.</ref>.

For my current situation, those were the most appropriate words to describe it.

Walking on my right, my little sister, Manami.

With a camisole that emphasized the bustline and denim shorts. With her legs covered with black stockings tucked inside thick boots, even if she's my sister, that was some refined fashion.

Walking on my left, Zonmi the ghoul.

It seems she borrowed some clothes and underwear from Manami. A miniskirt shortened to the limit and a sleeveless shirt that exposed her shoulders. Wearing heels, that was quite the modernistic fashion. Even though it wasn't raining, she carried her umbrella as usual.

So, since I frankly mustn't enjoy this harem-like situation, I put on a virtuous front to remind myself that they were my sister and a ghoul... I couldn't stand that front.

The people walking down the road openly looked at me with stares filled with jealousy. I couldn't calm down because I was not used to those stares that pierced my back.

"Buu... I hate walking..."

Zonmi sighed.

That's unexpected. Is that because you are not used to heels?

"What? Since I went to the trouble of choosing it for you, at least be grateful."

"... the clothes I got from Chiharu were enough for me."

"No, like I said that's a bit..."

Despite those being my words, I felt so guilty that I ended up coming along.

Since they were so ragged that they were one step short of becoming a dust cloth.

"... I'm not suited for flashy clothes. Don't they say "the right person in the right place"?

"Is that so? I think they'd suit you."

I don't know much about girl clothes, but I think they should suit her at least a little.

"Wha-wha-wha, You won't get anywhere with flattery!"

<nowiki>*Flush*</nowiki>, her cheeks colored, Zonmi's voice sounded nervous.

I wasn't trying to flatter you though...

"But that's well~♪ I haven't worn that underwear in a year. Zonmi-san should feel grateful that my bra from middle school second grade fits her~"

Manami said with quite a harsh tone.

Manami is in her third year of middle school, by the way. She is studying extra-hard in order to take the entrance exam for Seiran Academy next year.

It may be an indiscretion as her relative, but I do nothing but wish 'Please, let her fail'.

[[File:Maou na Ore to Fushihime no Yubiwa p135.png|thumb]]

"Is that true, Zonmi?"

"It's only that your sister has them big, since it's not like... Mine... Are small or anything."

The volume of Zonmi's response lowered gradually towards the end.

"That is, if I have to compare..."

How pitiful.

As her brother, I don't think I should be saying this, but Manami's chest is bigger than you'd expect from a middle schooler. Her style could put a gravure idol to shame.

Though Zonmi's weren't really that small, if you try comparing both of them it can't be helped that it'd be unfavorable.

"Fu, fu~, how is it? Today I tried to choose clothes that were a little bold to please onii-chan."

"What are you saying..."

Honestly, I was stumped about the emphasis my little sister put on her cleavage.

"If I felt something by looking at my sister's chest, it would be bad... Ethically."

"<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>Gh!"

"Hurts, it huuuurts!"

I got both cheeks pinched. In this I can't feel even a little bit of consideration for a big brother.

"Humph~, oniichan has no tact! Act like a boy once in a while!"

If I act wrongly like that, it'll mean my death in society.

I was hurriedly dragged into the underwear shop we wanted to go to.

Although I was accompanied by girls, entering this kind of place is of course embarrassing.

A place to buy underwear... I frequently had the chance to see it from afar, but this was my first time actually entering it. It was unknown territory for boys. The utopia yearned for by everyone...

"Onii-chan, what are you doing standing there!? Come in."

"Eh, Wait a minute! I have to enter too?"

It goes without saying that I was interested by what was inside, but even though there weren't any signs prohibiting entry, it wouldn't be socially acceptable to go in as a boy.

"But of course♪ It's meaningless if onii-chan doesn't come."

"Hah?"

"For what reason do you think I came? In order to research what kind of underwear onii-chan likes!"

"... Is that so?"

I worry I'm quite helpless.

I'm always wondering, but how can this one here be my blood-related sister?

While feeling dejected, I stepped into the inside of the shop.

Radiant and sparkling jewels suddenly appeared in my field of vision.

Anyway, I must've made a mistake... I shouldn't have ridiculed the naming sense.

I knelt in apology inside my heart.

Jewellery Lingerie... The sign wasn't lying...?

How can this be women's underwear, this... Could make my heartstrings loudly snap.

They are only clothes. Even so, clothes. How can a single piece of cloth have such sexual charm... Are humans such profound beings to be able to make such things?

After this experience, I was one step closer to the truth of eros.

"Come on, onii-chan! Tell me! What underwear arouses you more!?"

"Hey, isn't that an unusual question!?"

As I chased away my sister who approached while panting heavily,

"Zonmi, choose what you like. It's my treat."

"Is-is that alright?"

"Aye. It's the least I can do after you helped me."

I took a 5,000 yen note from my wallet and put it in Zonmi's hand.

Though I'll have to endure doing without porn magazines this month, I don't regret it. Since I could see this unique superb view. I wonder if that made up for it.

"Well, Zonmi, what underwear will you buy?"

"Is that so? I don't care much about design. If I think about the upcoming battles, of course it should be a sports-type one, but... What kind of things are you asking taking advantage of this confusion!?"

"... Is it bad?"

"Don't look at me with cute puppy eyes! Get out of here right now!"

Hmm, disappointing.

Nevertheless, Zonmi was earnest, or perhaps I should say she was sound. The first thing when choosing underwear is to express your true nature.

"Onii-chaan♪ Don't you think that this underwear with a gap on the crucial spot is also practicaaal?"

"..."

It really shows your true nature...

I don't want to think exactly how you find it practical, though.

Leaving Zonmi aside, since, on the other hand, I didn't want to get near Manami, I reluctantly wandered around the store.

The moment I resolutely walked into the shop, once I did it once, from then on I won't feel reluctance.

As I can legally look at women's underwear, isn't this Heaven?

Oh, this is... Heh, draweeers...? So there are those too.

Like that, I fully enjoyed my first visit to a lingerie store.

"Wait, how can it be I can't try them on!?"

All of a sudden, an out-of-place male voice resounded trough the store.

Hey, hey, what the heck has just happened...

Looking about, there was my close buddy — Youhei.

"That's why, this shops forbids male customers from going into the changing room..."

"That's weird! Isn't that sexual discrimination? This is an age where you can wear a bra even if you are a man. And yet the clerk doesn't know these things? Even though I don't want to say such things, even I would file a complaint for that inappropriate attitude."

What is this guy doing on a weekday...

After all, I wonder if he has awoken to a weird fetish that gets him aroused when wearing female underwear?

"Even if you say that..."

"It's impossible to talk with you. Call your manageeer!"

... As his buddy, maybe I have to be kind enough to put up with his eccentricities.

But I can't allow it. I can't mentally endure it, as his acquaintance, I have to make him mind his surroundings since he seems to have no shame.

In the end, I observed what Youhei was doing from the shadow of a pillar.

"... Understood. So, it's seems that this time we have to take special measures... Please, keep it a secret."

"Humm, so you have started to understand what I'm saying? Well then, how about going in after that cute girl there finishes choosing a brassiere to change into?... *Slurp*"

"!?"

I see, so that was Youhei's aim!?

Kuh, you have thought it through, Youhei...

Somehow or other, it seems he hasn't awoken to any weird fetish. What a relief. It seems he's as healthy as usual.

And following Youhei's line of sight...

There was Manami.

"With what kind of eyes do you look at other people's little sisters, bastard!"

"It hurts! Eh... Chiharu?"

I gave him a chop without holding back for looking at my sister with lewd eyes.

"Look, you are troubling the clerk. Scram."

"Eh? Why are you in this kind of place?... Rather, uwaaaah, ouch, ouch. Why, Chiharu, release meeeeee!"

While pulling Youhei's ear, I took him outside the store.

... Goodbye, Jewelry Lingerie.

As a result of a conversation with Youhei, we agreed on a non-aggression treaty called 'Mutual today's events didn't happen'. It goes without saying it meant Youhei's eccentricities, but I also want to hide the truth about the fact that 'I went shopping for underwear with my little sister'.

Thus, prioritizing mutual benefit, we parted ways.

Being befuddled, I sat on a bench before the store.

Embarrassed for some reason, I didn't feel like I could enter the shop again. I'll wait here until Zonmi and Manami get out, then.

"Hum. Beholding it presently, 'tis conspicuously less crowded than usual."

Standing right before me, for some reason there was a girl mumbling under her breath.

What was surprising was that her clothes didn't seem like clothes. She was totally wrapped in what seemed like robes of a dull red color.

From inside her hood, you could catch glimpses of a facial expression full of self-confidence. Eyes concealing a strong will that fascinated the observer. Is she one of those guys that wear color contacts that I've heard of?... Those eyes were as crimson as if they were on fire.

I tried to break the ice, though she looked like she was covered by a rather dignified aura... The surprising thing was that she was extraordinarily short, I'd say around only 140 centimeters.

Charming, isn't it? Is she cosplaying as something?

"What's wrong, have you strayed from your mom?"

I don't think a child this small would've come alone to the shopping mall.

Let me see, where's the Lost Children Center...

"Ku, ku, ku. That utterance, I shall take as a declaration of war. Monster tamer..."

"!?"

I promptly fled from the bench, in preparation for the battle.

Could this fellow be... a Monster!?

[[File:Maou na Ore to Fushihime no Yubiwa p145.png|thumb]]

"Frightened? I will not deceive thee, since thou art an important human sacrifice, I cannot be cruel."

"You, what are you saying..."

"Make a contract with me, Monster tamer."

"..."

That was a threat I couldn't accept or deny.

I don't know what will happen if I don't comply... Her speech gave the impression of being filled with a strong power.

"Come on, I don't understand what you mean at all..."

As I played dumb, the look of the girl turned sharper than ever.

"Humm. It doth not matter if thou feignest ignorance. Fear not, I know about the little insects that surround thee. If thou feelest guilty, be not concerned if I kill them all."

"!"

Somehow I have the premonition that this situation... is a terrible emergency.

It seems this girl intends to unhesitatingly try the same contract by force that Kyouko did before.

"Don't... think Zonmi and Kyouko cannot defeat you."

"Do not look down on me, human. My name is Iris Scarlet Lindblum. The strongest bloodline's... red dragon's descendant! There is no monster above me... Dost thou not think that to be a very good reason?"

I recalled my conversation with Luka-san.

Red dragon... Isn't that the third monster following ghoul and Nephilim?

Shit. According to that, this fellow should also be one of those I had to choose from.

"What if... I refuse?"

"Of course, I will seal the pact by force."

As she laughed boldly, she pushed the palm of her little hand against my breast.

"... Gh!"

With the unbelievable power she hid, she sent my body flying in a straight line.

How can this be... I'm flying?

I took a while before I realized my own body was floating through the air.

"Guwah!"

The crash felt as if the sound of the wind had broken my eardrums.

Breaking through the shop's show window, I was smashed to glass fragments.

I felt as though all my bones were broken. I felt so tired I couldn't open my eyes. Totally exhausted, I felt I couldn't even move an inch. Warm blood gushed forth, making me feel like I was taking a bath.

"Ki-Kyaaaah!"

As women started to scream around me, I was welcomed by a bizarre situation.

As expected.

... Since this kind of monster, isn't it something you could only meet in the game world?

Totally covered in jewel-like scales. Sprouting from its body, a pair of big fat wings. Shaped from head to tail like a lizard, glimpses could be caught of canines characteristic of carnivores from the inside of its big open mouth.

A beautiful crimson dragon entered my blurred field of vision.

This chap, it's a red dragon...

Strong. She just called herself the strongest bloodline... Just by facing it, you couldn't feel safe because of the powerful aura that gushed out. Its size was on the order of a small bus, its intimidating air was more of a blue whale-class.

"Hence, thou art invited to my den."

The dragon picked me up with a limb that was small in proportion to its body.

No good... I was about to lose consciousness from the pain...

Like that, the dragon spread its wings and took flight — at that moment.

"Guuuuuuuuuu!"

A scream that seemed to shake the earth — the shriek of the red dragon echoed.

Freed from my binding, I rolled down the ground.

"Be careful. That one there is my partner."

It was Zonmi's voice.

The umbrella on Zonmi's hand pierced the dragon's scales that were as hard as steel.

Again... I've been saved by this guy...?

"Humm. A lowly one of the ghouls..."

Its face distorted in anger, the dragon once again began to float by flapping its wings.

Maybe, if it makes some distance it'll be the end — Zonmi can't fly. An aerial battle would be unfavourable.

Nevertheless, before it came to that, Zonmi leapt. Zonmi's reflexes were as nimble as those of a stray cat. That way she rode on the dragon's back, and then pierced a wing with the weapon she carried.

"Don't escape. You are invited to my territory."

"Guuh", making that dull scream, the dragon was pulled down to ground.

I see, Zonmi planned to make it into a ground battle.

"You certainly may be strong... But, can you display the same power here on the ground?"

"Begone!"

The dragon's big frame received a rush of umbrella strikes.

Even though it wasn't the sky, but the ground, the dragon was quick.

But it was the same for Zonmi.

Zonmi easily parried by rolling away while smiling with composure. It seems like Zonmi has the advantage in a ground battle.

"Tche."

Turning its face, the dragon licked the severe strike on the base of its neck.

"... Oh, my, was that shallow? You have great strength, right?"

When it heard Zonmi's words, the dragon snorted loudly.

"Ku, ku, ku. Thou mayest have dealt a heavy blow... But 'twill have no effect on me."

"But you can say... that this is the end."

<nowiki>*Tattata*.</nowiki> After judging what the best step was, Zonmi's body danced in high air. A strike like slashing wind coming from the sky.

Like that, the umbrella in her hand pierced the dragon's forehead, or that's what was expected...

The dragon showed a bold grin.

"I have caught thee, little girl."

Horror took place. The dragon was waiting for this chance — Zonmi couldn't freely move her body while in the air...

After opening its big mouth, the dragon spat out scorching hot flames.

"!?"

Zonmi instantly guarded by opening her umbrella.

But, opposing the flames that noisily continued to surge, it seems the umbrella wasn't suited to cover the whole body.

The compatibility was the worst, to begin with. Though ghouls boast resistance against physical strikes close to half invulnerability, as she personally said before, they were weak against heat.

Zonmi's lower half was scorched, and finally her legs snapped off.

"Humph. That was not even an appetizer."

The dragon shifted its gaze to me.

"Chi... Ha... Ru."

Inside my faint consciousness, there was only Zonmi's voice as though clinging to my ears.

<center>× × ×</center>

When I recovered my consciousness, all my body was restricted, attached to a cross.

Is it my imagination? But it seems that recently this kind of pattern has been awfully common...

But first, there was something I was curious about... I don't recognize this place.

I tried once again to survey my surroundings.

It was a capsule where no other living beings could be seen. Thick books were piled up. An anachronistic old-style fireplace.

If he had to liken it to something, 'a witch's room' would strike close.

What bad taste... And yet it was an eerie room.

"Hast thou woken up, human?"

From the door entered a girl I recognized.

Honey-colored twintails. Short stature beffitting of an elementary schooler. Sharp crimson eyes that could pierce you. Wrapped in those hood-attached red robes.

The red dragon.

Unmistakeable — the one here is the monster girl that abducted me.

"I get up to find this situation... That's the worst awakening ever..."

"I apologize for that. Still, it prevents thee from fleeing before mine eyes."

"You too... Need the contract that much?"

"'Tis so."

The girl shortly murmured.

"By the way, since it hath come to this, please refrain from calling me 'you'. Mine esteemed name is Iris."

"..."

I let out a big sigh.

It seems this guy wants the contract as desperately as Zonmi and Kyouko...

Still...

"What a pity, I'm still waiting for the ring. I'm not lying. It currently hasn't been delivered. Though kidnapping seems convenient, isn't it true that you can't seal the pact if you don't have the ring?"

The girl slowly tampered with her bosom.

"By the way, by ring couldst thou be referring to this thing here?"

Showing a bold smile, she took out a silver ring that glowed with a bluish-white light.

Don't tell me this guy...

I had a bad premonition. I couldn't be sure without looking at the real thing, but taking it out with this timing...

"How is that possible?"

When I asked that, Iris started to talk with an expression full of self-confidence.

"Whaat, it's very simple... The monsters around thee be foolish. No matter how many Tamers be around, with no ring, no contract can be made. My fault, I kept watching thy house. I borrowed this thing from the stupid courier."

"..."

I was cheated.

So the early arriving of the ring was delayed because of that...?

"Then, let's make the contract. Wilt thou struggle? Although I might say, don't even think about moving from there..."

"Tsk..."

My limbs were tightly bound, so I couldn't put up resistance.

Iris's little body approached me little by little.

Something cold ran against my fingertip. She had put the ring on my left hand's ring finger...

"... Let me take the opportunity to teach thee something. This ring symbolizeth that master and Monster, both be one. It doth not matter which party wears it first."

Iris continued with a composed smile.

"And after equipping it... Removal is impossible."

On Iris's finger, just when she put the ring on me.

A second ring just emitted a dazzling flash.

I see... That's the proof of a contract... What?

Feeling a rattling electric current passing through my body, I was tormented by a mysterious sensation as if the ring had become one with my body. A short while later, the ring tightly dug into my flesh, and ended up fixed there as if it were sewn.

Indeed. This... seems to be totally impossible to remove.

"Rejoice, Tamer! The contract hath been completed, from now on I and thee be one in body and soul — we'll be eternally together!"

"..."

I was vexed by my powerlessness.

Power.

Strength.

If I was stronger, I could successfully...

I bit my lips with force — my mouth was filled with the taste of iron.

I roared in anger; feeling I had nowhere to go, I could only prowl inside my heart.

"... Do not be riotous, are thou not still in convalescence?"

"..."

"Dost thou worry? I had thee take a secret concoction to make magical power course through thy body. The pain should subside soon... I ask forgiveness for what happened earlier... That... Violent behaviour of mine."

"..."

"Oh, aye, dost thou be hungry? I have made arrangements for dinner."

"Don't wanna."

"'T-'tis so?... Thou be still in convalescence..."

"..."

Seeing Iris suddenly going meek, my obstinacy seemed a bit stupid.

Heey! About the contract, it couldn't be helped.

Couldn't I let it slide?...

"Of course I'll eat."

"... Humph."

Iris, looking like she had killed her emotions,

"'Twould have been best if thou hast said that from the start. This is why the beings known as humans... All right, since today is special, let's make dishes with plenty of the legendary cowry... Hu, hu, hu."

While murmuring for some reason, she exited the room.

Fiuu... Let's think positively.

Because now I believe that this red dragon girl... Despite seeming peerlessly cruel, she couldn't be totally heartless.

If I make use of that, I'll surely have a chance to escape... I hope.

With renewed determination, I clasped my hand into a fist.

A short time later, Iris once again entered the room.

She was carrying in her hands for some reason a mysterious-looking pot.

Inside the room drifted a wonderful scent that aroused my appetite.

This scent... What is it? It seemed a mix between tonkotsu and seafood, difficult to describe, and yet very rich... It was a scent that didn't resemble anything I had tasted before.

"Although I think today I was skillful in its making... We-well, I guess something like a human cannot possibly understand the taste of my cuisine."

Iris looked at me with sparkling and somewhat uneasy eyes.

I've just noticed, but I'm surprisingly hungry.

Iris held the dish and started to scoop soup with a ladle.

"'Tis time to feed thee. Be grateful... Hot!"

Could it be because her hands trembled a bit when she served it? It seems she splashed soup on her face.

It was such a funny sight that I unintentionally ended up letting out a laugh.

"Thou, dost thou laugh!? Making fun of me, what recklessness.."

"... Stop the tedious chatter. Feed me quickly."

"... Humph. As I thought, humans are impertinent beings."

... It seems that somehow or other my chance will arrive soon.

Could it be? While clinging like this, eating will be honestly difficult. If I somewhat managed to be freed of one of my bindings, a chance to escape will arrive...

"Even if thou didst not ask, I would have feed thee immediately."

Iris walked a step, dish and spoon in hand, and was still one step away from me.

"Then, open thy mouth quickly."

"... What?"

"I told thee to open thy mouth. Dost thou not want to take thy nourishment?"

Errrrr...

Could this situation by some chance... be that?

That which couples often do on the park? That which, reflexively, makes me want to shoot a rocket launcher at them?

Does this little kid intend to personally feed me?...

Ho-how humiliating! It's Canossa's humiliation<ref>Italian commune where Holy Roman Emperor Henry IV stood three days bare-headed in the snow in 1077 as penance in order to reverse his excommunication.</ref>.

... Damn. Be as it may, my person's restricted position — since we've reached this point, I can't oppose.

I reluctantly opened my mouth.

"Mm... Tch!"

It seems Iris has made a big mistake.

Since she's so short, as I'm hanging, she couldn't feed the soup to me no matter how she tried.

As Iris couldn't reach even standing on her tiptoes, she made a sour face.

As if sighing in relief... As if saying 'what a pity'...

"... Wait an instant."

With an awkward expression, after temporarily leaving the room, she brought a small stepladder and placed it before me.

"This will serve."

"..."

Hey, wait. This guy will go that far to feed me?...

"Try to open thy mouth once again."

Doing as I was told, I opened my mouth.

The soup was scooped with a faint dripping sound. Iris, standing on a stepladder, brought the spoon to my mouth.

... And then, my mouth was filled with a soup of a rich, mellow, flawless, never tasted before perfect flavor.

"How's that? Dost thou like the flavor?"

"..."

I was speechless.

It was frankly the tastiest soup... no, food I'd ever had.

It was an unknown flavor not sweet or spicy that brought joy to my tongue.

That is, why couldn't I say 'don't feed me this, it tastes horrible'.

As I put a rather puzzled face from the shock,

"Humph, as I thought, doth it not suit the palate of humans?... Well, from the start I did not think that thou couldst understand the taste of this refined cuisine of mine. I, I knew it from the beginning."

"..."

Iris was making a terribly sad face.

"... Nevertheless, this soup will succeed in recovering from this dishonor... I will do my best to not bring harm to Master. Si-since thou hast made a contract with me, take responsibility. So, consume it without leaving anything out."

[[File:Maou na Ore to Fushihime no Yubiwa p163.png|thumb]]

Iris's face, for some reason, looks like she's about to cry.

"Enough of your boring chatter, feed me asap. This is absolutely delicious."

"..."

When I said that, Iris showed a bright smile like a blooming flower,

"I-Is that so?! Humph, it would seem that even while you are a hopelessly foolish human, your palate is the only finely developed thing?!"

She kept saying things I didn't understand.

As for me, since this soup had a taste that made me want to bring it back home,

"Please, teach me the recipe later."

I simply said that.

<center>× × ×</center>

It seems that Iris had somehow mistaken me for a pet or something.

After that, once every thirty minutes, she kept bringing different dishes.

The reason is, each time it was something absurdly delicious without fail, telling her that from the heart she'd say "'T-tis so?" while showing a big smile that spread through her whole face, then she'd exit the room → Once again, the loop of bringing a meal would occur.

Of course I was annoyed by being bound, but I ended up starting to think that this lifestyle wasn't that bad.

Concerned about my injuries, though I was told from the start that I was recovering with the magic power inserted inside my body, that 'secret mixture' thing that Iris said seemed to be effective, I felt even healthier than before. However, a chance to escape didn't come at all. Worried about that, Iris stubbornly guarded me to a ridiculous extent.

"I have brought thee the dessert course."

Iris came in. This time there was a jelly-like thing on the dish.

Now, I wonder how this next will taste.

Though, it's a shame. I can't seriously think about how to escape.

Iris stepped on the ladder and scooped the jelly with a spoon.

"Quickly, open thy mouth."

"... Say, can I ask you something?"

Know your enemy, know yourself, and you need not fear the result of a hundred battles<ref>Sun Tzu, '''The Art of War''' - Chapter 3.</ref> — I tried to break the ice with resolution.

"Iris, why did you want to make the contract that much?"

Zonmi and Kyouko said they needed the contract to protect their honor.

However, for some reason, I couldn't help feeling that Iris must have a different motive.

"... 'Tis but a simple purpose. I need strength. For that now I wish for even a little more magic power."

"Why do you fuss that much about power?"

"For revenge."

I was shocked by the unusually serious circumstances Iris muttered.

"I-I see..."

"Don't pry anymore than that. Thou dost not want to get scalded."

"... Understood."

She has some secret circumstances.

It would be tactless to interfere with her privacy, let's stop here.

"..."

"... In any case, sooner or later 'twill be exposed... Dost thou want I specially tell thee?"

"You'll tell me after all!?"

"'Twas around... Five years before now..."

"Such a languorous story start!?"

"THOU ART NOISY THOU ART DISTRACTING ME BE SILENT."

Let's reflect a bit.

"Yes."

"Dragon hunting — At the Netherworld, the 'Dragon Blood' with the effect of drastically increasing magic power fetched extraordinary high prices — Among them, the blood of us, red dragons, was exceptionally rare.

And at the center of it all, abominable tamers — The 'Black Tamers' company... Yonne lads set up a trap for my clan with vulgar methods, then exterminated them all — I was but a child at the time, but I barely managed to keep my life.

Even now people have not ceased to pursue my blood. Therefore, I must gather strength. Strength to protect my person together with strength to destroy my foes..."

Eh.

Wait a moment, I don't understand what you mean.

"Are you bloody joking? Isn't the job of the Tamers mediating between humans and monsters!?"

"Because there are a variety of tribes of monsters — it's the same for humans. If there are those who love justice, there're also those who perpetrate crimes."

"..."

I didn't know.

I thought beyond doubt that as Monster tamers, they were only allies of justice that protected humans.

But the reality is different. There are also those truly evil people...

"Sorry for those... Wossname."

"... What mistake hast thou made?"

"What, you say... Weren't us humans those who killed all of your clan?"

"... Pff."

Iris boldly laughed.

"'Twould have been rather allaying if all humans were like thee... With more fools like thee, mine outlet for anger'd be in peril. Those words are enough for now, Tamer... Still, forgettest not those feelings. I only hope thy heart will not be dyed black."

"Hey, where are you going!?"

As her footsteps faded, I tried to stop Iris.

For some reason, I felt she shouldn't leave.

"The contract is complete... My destination has been decided. From here on, let's begin my requital. Thou must continue to bestow magical power on me from here."

Her golden hair fluttering, Iris left this place.

In those eyes, along with hatred, there was only a little tinge of sadness mixed in.

I was confused by my own feelings.

I want to become part of Iris's strength — am I softhearted for thinking like that?

However, I couldn't let her go. I felt that if she went, she would rapidly become unable to return.

Also, I really needed to go to the toilet.

If it keeps up like this, I'll also pass a point of no return.

Somebody help me, please...

"So. It seems that boy has finally made contact with the red dragon... Yes, understood. If something more happens, please contact us."

At the time, Luka got in touch with a subordinate as she sat on the rear seat of a car.

The black car she was riding in ran at high speed as if splitting the darkness apart.

"... Surprisingly, you seem glad."

Promptly seeing through his master's mood, the male driver in butler clothes murmured.

"Oh, is that how I look?"

"Yes. It seems the time has come for the young lady to scheme something bad."

"Something bad... is it? Perhaps, to him maybe it'll be an unprecedented catastrophe."

"Young lady. I'll state my concerns. From now on, it would be best if you cut ties with that boy."

"And why is that?"

"... He may ruin everything."

"Ruin everything... you say?"

As she kept ruminating the meaning of those words,

"Would you protect me if it comes to that?"

"... Yes, of course. Even in exchange for my life."

The man's voice as he stated that without a tinge of hesitation, gave a feeling of bottomless resolution.

... Then, whatever happens.

Kusumi Chiharu. To us, will his existence become the light of hope or the prelude of despair?

That's something only God knows.

Because of that, no matter how far back you look, there won't be any precedents.

While being human, a chimera that carried the blood of monsters, he became a Monster tamer...

If this fake-sounding information ends up being true, his potential ability would be inestimable.

The currently arranged series of riots seems not to be planned to measure him, but as a test case.

"Maou's kid, the king of the Tamers, aims to be a Maou... does he?"

Could there be something better than this? She didn't hold back a broad smile.

"... Even mastering the second rank isn't a dream."

Originally an impossible forbidden combination. 'Double Meaning'.

While gently stroking her nearby snake familiar, Luka celebrated in her heart the yet unseen future.

Kurumi:

==The day he got a little sister==

===Part 1===

"Hey—you said, that you wanted a little sister, right?"

The night of a certain day near the middle of summer vacation.

Toujou Basara heard his father say that so resolutely.

It was during their dinner—just as Basara stood up to get a second serving of curry.

"I didn't say that. Did the spice get into a bad place of your brain?"

Basara said so wearily over his back, then opened the lid of the rice-cooker.

"Such a weak reaction...it's a little sister, you know, a little sister. It's something guys want so bad that they start drooling."

"I'm afraid that a little sister doesn't fill my stomach."

Like he would go along with his father's antics. He had a great appetite. The stomach of a high school boy wasn't to be underestimated. Once he finished loading his plate with the rice, Basara moved in front of the pot with the curry on the stove. He poured the substantial sauce over his rice, then returned to his own seat.

"Huh? Where are the pickled vegetables?"

The bottle filled with the curry's relish had disappeared from atop the table.

In front of him, his father that sat across of him held the bottle with the pickled vegetables in one hand and said with a triumphant look on his face,

"Hey, let's talk a bit more enthusiastically about a little sister."

He showed a smirk. Basara made a sigh of resignation and looked at his own father—Toujou Jin. That father at a good age, tried to discuss the merits of a little sister with his son over dinner.

Putting it into words was quite painful. He felt a slight killing urge.

"Enthusiastic...actually, did I really say I wanted a little sister?"

"What...you don't remember?"

Jin said astonished.

"You said 'I want a little sister', which sounded like a light novel title, with sparkles in your eyes—about ten years ago."

"Like I would remember that!"

Ten years ago, Basara was still 5 years old. Without doubt, it had only been childish nonsense. However, Jin put up a hand with "Calm down".

"A little sister is nice, cute, kind and soft. She'll wake you up in the mornings."

"Well, that might be..."

"Yeah. Besides—you can do all the perverted stuff you want."

"Don't tempt your son into crimes! Actually, it would be scary instead if there was such a little sister!"

Such a little sister only existed in 2-D.

"What's up with you, dad...? You wanted to talk about a little sister that's likely to fall under the metropolitan regulation that bad?"<ref>The regulation means the legendary loli ban bill in Tokyo</ref>

"I wasn't really talking about fiction. Though the perverted stuff was certainly a joke."

Jin forwarded the bottle with pickled vegetables by sliding it over the table.

"Well, in short, what I want to say is: Do you like or hate a little sister?"

"What kind of survey is this? Well...a little sister from a drama or manga aside, I heard that a real little sister isn't all that great. Like they're cheeky and crude."

"Then, in other words, you would be fine with a cute little sister."

"Well... Guess so. —Actually, where are these questions leading to here?"

On Basara's words, Jin replied shortly with, "Yeah, well", then showed a suggestive smile.

And then, he spoke the words that would change Toujou Basara's fate.

"Aren't you glad—to get a cute, little sister?"

===Part 2===

Blue, wherever you looked. That was the colour of the sky on that day.

The weather was nice. The cicadas were chirping like a scream of the heat, as the temperature reached a new record high in history. It was an early afternoon in midsummer. Basara had come to a family restaurant in front of the station with Jin.

"I mean, seriously...?"

Toujou Basara mumbled in a still doubtful tone.

—Last night, Jin brought up the topic of a little sister. That was a flag for his second marriage.

Because he had picked, "If it's a cute little sister, I like her," from the choices, they came to meet her right away today.

"Stop sulking... When I called them, they said they wanted to meet and greet you as soon as possible. Besides, I asked you if today would be fine with you."

"Well, yeah..."

Certainly. Basara had told Jin, who had asked with his cell phone in one hand, "I don't mind," as he still couldn't comprehend the situation and was going with the flow.

However, after taking counsel with his pillow, he ought to think about it once more after all. Jin getting remarried meant that Basara would get a new family. And not just a little sister, but he might also get a mother.

...But.

Yes—that was still ''theoretical''.

Along with Jin, the other family and the girl that was to become Basara’s little sister were also sympathetic to the remarriage. But, despite that, Jin’s remarriage was not yet set in stone. In other words,

...I’m the last one to get convinced, huh...

With the final conclusion resting on his shoulders while all other obstacles had been cleared, it was a somewhat annoying topic. When Basara thought of what kind of predicament he was in, an electronic sound suddenly sounded from the entrance of the restaurant. It signalled the arrival of a customer. While inadvertently putting himself on guard, Basara looked towards the entrance and made a sigh of relief. It had obviously been a different family.

“What are you getting tense for every time a customer comes in?”

“Wh-What does it matter to you…really.”

While placing his cheek on top of his palm, Basara looked at the newly arrived family.

—A father, a mother and a child.

It was natural happiness. Thus, something really precious.

Toujou Basara wondered if he could get that happiness, which was what he wanted at that time.

—But what were the actual conditions?

He didn’t know. A family of females was something unknown to him. But—he might get an answer to that now. By meeting with the people that might become his family in the future.

—And, he didn’t even know himself why he did so.

It wasn’t because of the electronic sound that signalled a new customer, nor was there really anything drawing his attention.
Despite that, as if he was being controlled, Basara—suddenly shifted his gaze towards the entrance of the restaurant.

“——”

With leisurely steps, two girls entered the restaurant.

One of them was around the same age as Basara, likely a high school girl. The other one was younger than Basara. Because she was rather short, she looked both like an elementary and middle school girl. Those two were likely sisters, but—

“...Uwah.”

He unconsciously leaked a voice out of surprise. So far, he had seen a cute girl on the street before. He also had inadvertently stopped and turned around to her.

But—the girls who had come in, completely surpassed that basic level.

After all, the other customers who had noticed the girls, also had their gazes pinned down on the two of them. Soon enough, the girls were led away by an employee to a table on the opposite side of Basara and Jin.

When he looked at their backs—another new customer entered.

It was a woman in her twenties with a peaceful aura together with her daughter in elementary school.

...Were they finally here?

Inadvertently, Basara stiffened up and at the same time, the two came closer like they had noticed him.

No doubt. Basara stood up from his seat with attitude to the coming mother and daughter.

“N-Nice to meet you... I’m Toujou Basara!”

However, the woman in front of him looked at Basara in bewilderment. She might have been surprised by the sudden greeting. Basara hastily tried to save the situation. Suddenly, a fist hit the back of his head.

“Oww! Wh-What are you…huh!?”

“Sorry about my idiot.”

Before Basara could turn around, Jin forcibly grabbed his head and lowered it.

Basara got his body forcefully lowered until he was bending forward, but still managed to shake off Jin with force.

“Who are you calling an idiot!? To smooth out your sudden remarriage, I just tried to—”

Then, the mother and daughter passed by in front of Basara.

“Eh…?”

When Basara followed their backs with his eyes, the pair sat down at the next table—beside a man that was likely the husband. The husband welcomed his wife and child with a smile, but towards Basara, who had called out to his wife, he sent a short, strict glare.

…Ehm, in other words.

It was a misunderstanding. To Basara, who was about to explode out of awkwardness from his painful mistake, Jin spoke.

“You’re too nervous...go wash your face and calm down.”

“...Sorry. I’ll do so.”

He said so wearily, whereupon Basara unsteadily headed for the toilet in the back.

...Just what am I doing?

Getting nervous by himself, blowing his fuse by himself, getting elated by himself.

At that rate, it was unknown what kind of failure he would pull on the meeting. Like Jin had said, he ought to calm down a bit. While looking down, he opened the door to the toilet and set a step inside.

“Eh—?”

Toujou Basara raised his face and froze up.

In the opened room—stood a girl.
[[File:Shinmai Vol1 0017.jpg|thumbnail|right]]

At that moment, an awkward silence fell onto the small room.

The girl in the toilet was the beautiful older sister from the pair of sisters that had entered the store earlier.

The girl had bent slightly forward, had rolled up her skirt and had both her thumbs in her white panties, as she was either pulling it down or pulling it up. With all thoughts stopped from the sudden happening, she looked at him dumbfounded.

But it was a misunderstanding. Basara had by no means opened the door of the female toilet.

The toilet merely was for both genders. She likely had used that double gender toilet, as the female toilet was occupied. However, that double gender toilet had a defect that was known to the usual guests—the lock didn’t close properly. Therefore, the girls who knew of that, avoided using that toilet if possible. The restaurant had even posted a small paper saying “Please lock the door properly” inside to avoid any troubles. But even if one thought it was properly locked, it could happen that it actually wasn’t—yes, just like right now.
Basara hastily tried to close the door and turn on his heels—but suddenly he heard a 'certain sound'. It was the sound of the girl taking a deep breath. An action taken before a scream.

“—Hey, wait!”

“Mmg!?”
Basara narrowly managed to quell the scream and made a sigh of relief for now.

...Wait, what am I doing!?

Before he had noticed it, Basara had completely stepped into the toilet and covered the mouth of the girl.

That wasn’t good. It should have been an unfortunate accident due to a misunderstanding, but the situation had worsened so much that even excuses were useless now.

“Sorry for scaring you, but please—listen to me without making a ruckus. This wasn’t on purpose. It’s an unfortunate accident, a misunderstanding…”

That the occupied toilet door opened from the outside meant that the person, who didn’t lock the door properly, was at fault. In other words, the girl. On an emotional level, she was a victim. Therefore, Basara explained about the defect of the lock and about the paper on the door. He desperately tried to convince her.

That there was no assailant here. And that there were only—two victims here.

Upon that—as Basara’s explanation worked, the girl relaxed her body soon enough.
“Ehm...I take it that you understand now?”

On his question, the girl gave back a nod. When Basara timidly removed his hand, the girl corrected her posture and laughed a 'Fufu'. A bright smile that seemed like a proof of friendship.

Good. Apparently his sincerity was conveyed and she comprehended the situation calmly. Hooked on, Basara also showed a smile with “Haha…”

—At that moment, he received an attack to the cheek and was blown off to the side.

It was a slap. Needless to say, the initiator defect door was unlocked. Basara bumped into the door and tumbled outside. There, he fell on his backside.

“Wh-Why…?”

“…Come again?”

While pressing on his cheek, Basara looked up dumbfounded. The girl had twitched the edges of her mouth.

“First you peek on a girl in the toilet, then you get inside, cover her mouth and try to make excuses… Put a hand on your heart and think well about what you have done—in the other world.”

As if to give Basara the finishing blow, the girl raised her leg and it was then.

“—Hmm? What are you two doing there?”

That a familiar voice sounded from the side. He had probably come to check up on Basara as he was late.

Jin had come to the toilet at some point in time.

“Dad…” “Jin-san…”

Basara and the girl called out to Jin at the same time, then looked at each other with an, ""Eh?"".

And then—as Basara returned to his seat, now two girls sat in front of him.

The taller one was Naruse Mio. The shorter one Naruse Maria. Like Basara had imagined, the two of them were sisters. When they finished ordering drinks,

“Ahaha, sorry, Basara-san.”

Maria showed a friendly smile.

“We properly told the waitress that we are meeting up with someone. But apparently, the one who guided us to the table didn’t know about you two.”

In other words, the shop assistants didn’t speak with each other. It was an elementary mistake.

The puzzle had been solved. However, it didn’t necessarily solve the 'problem' as well.

“...”

In contrast to the smiling Maria, Mio was puckering her lips wordless for a while now.

...Well, understandable.

To tell her to brighten up when someone interrupted her on the toilet earlier, would be asking too much. It left the worst first impression at the important meeting for the two remarrying families.

The remarriage wouldn't be cancelled because of this, but——Basara once again checked upon the expressions of Mio and Maria, who sat in front of him. And he thought,

…Still, they’re cute.

Not the appearance alone, but their aura and casual behaviour made him excited. Specially Mio, who apparently was also a first year in high school just like Basara, albeit with a later birthday. In other words, right now, when their parents hadn’t remarried yet, she simply was a girl of the same age as him. Of course that accelerated his heartbeat. Then,

“—But, I’m glad that you’re a nice person, Basara-san.”

Maria, sitting diagonally opposite to him, faced him and laughed with an 'Ehehe'. She looked very young for a girl only one year younger than Basara and Mio and in her third year of middle school. Her cuteness stimulated a boy’s protection instincts gravely.

“As a boy of your age, I was worried about what to do when you were a guy sharp like a knife.”

“Ha, Haha…”

An age where you were sharp like a knife, just what kind of age was that? The one of a national reaction entertainer? <ref>Tetsurō Degawa is a reaction entertainer and says that he was a ‘sharp knife’ in his youth.</ref>

“No need to worry. I mean, he seems to fancy a cute little sister.”

“Seems so. I mean, he came into the toilet occupied by a girl.”

On Jin’s light joke, Mio in front sent off a cold glare.

“I said, that was a misunderstanding, an accident. How often do---”

“Hmp, still making excuses?”

When Basara declared with a sigh, Mio bended slightly forward.

A distance that made his heart skip a beat unmeant. She looked at him with superb upturned eyes that emphasized their height difference.

“…..I’m sorry.”

So weak. When Basara, unable to endure her destructive force, apologized, Mio nodded “Mm, I forgive you” satisfied and finally brightened up her expression. Basara made a sigh of relief.

“Oh right… ehm, excuse me, there’s something I want to ask.”

There Basara suddenly spoke out a simple question.

“Where’s your mother? Will she come later?”

The prospect of getting a little sister, and even these two cute ones, had surprised him.

But well. Jin never had said that it would only be one.

However, their mother, who Jin was going to marry, was absent, which made this meeting pointless.

“Yeah, reminds me, I didn’t tell you…”

Jin said.

“Their mother--- Chihaya-san is currently overseas for her work.”

“……………Huh?”

Wait a moment. What did his father said just now? As bad as it sounded, the marriage partner was currently overseas?

“…. Aw… Dad, lend me your ear for a sec.”

Grabbing Jin’s arm, Basara moved to a place where their voices wouldn’t reach Mio and Maria--- to the corner of the passage.

“…Sorry, but can you say that again?”

Basara crossed his arms and tapped with the index finger of his right hand on his left upper arm.

“Mh? ‘Hey---You said, that you wanted a little sister, right?’ That one?”

“How far are you going back! I meant about the stuff about your marriage partner being overseas!”

“So you heard it after all. So, what about it?”

“It’s weird! That on a meeting for a remarriage, she herself wouldn’t show up!”

Even more so, when they were the ones that wanted to meet as soon as possible. He wasn’t going to blame her about going on a business trip, but a meeting without her was pointless. Actually,

“I hope I’m wrong, but… you’re not getting tricked, are you?”

“Haha. No, don’t worry. Besides, do you really think I could be tricked?”

Certainly. If anything, he was the type to trick. This phony father.

“But--- then we could just have done the meeting once she came back….”

“I’m afraid there’s a reason as to why we better hurry up.”

Jin changed his expression from a smile into a serious one.

“Basara… Now that you saw these two, what do you think?”

“What are you asking… Well, cute, I guess.”

At any rate, he thought they were some kind of idols when he saw them at first. So…

…A reason as to why to hurry up, huh…

Judging by the conversation, Basara finally came to understand that reason. The prospect of remarriage meant that they were a family of just mother and daughters. And that mother was currently overseas on a long time business trip.

“I’m sure, a parent would worry, if these two are all left by themselves… Is that why?”

“Yeah. Actually, the two of them seem to be under the attack of some suspicious person. To begin with, when I first met them at the city, a weird guy was picking on them. Besides, there also seems to be a persistent stalker.”

“For real…”

The world sure was dangerous, but to think there were actual casualties. It certainly was a pressing matter. The police didn’t interfere with personal matters. They wouldn’t move unless something happened, which would be too late then.

“I heard that Maria-chan stopped going to school, because of that stalker. Those who want to go to school should just do so, but for someone who can’t, it’s painful. Even if she’s smiling so brightly right now.”

Jin said.

“Well, for these reasons, I would like us to start living together already, if you have no objections. They also say a remarriage is more likely to work out if you know each other better beforehand.”

“You mean to temporarily take care of them and see if it’s possible to live together as a family?”

“This is some kind of destiny. If we can protect them, then you would like to, right?”

On Jin’s words, Basara fell silent. It was a silence of affirmation. And-

…Mh?

Suddenly he made eye-contact with Mio on the other side. Like the earlier forceful attitude had been a lie, she had a worried expression. Basara narrowed his eyes and asked Jin besides him.

“---For how long?”

“For starters, a year. It might turn out we’re totally unsuited to live together or reach a conclusion about the remarriage, but--- They will only get back to living alone, once a certain level of their safety is guaranteed. After hearing all this, I wouldn’t be able to sleep anymore later when I know that something happened to them.”

He had a point. When their mother comes back in a year and it was time to decide about the remarriage, it would all fall apart if something had happened to Mio or Maria.

More importantly--- Basara himself didn’t want Mio or Maria to suffer.

“But where are we going to live? Our house doesn’t have any rooms to spare.”

“We’ll rent a suitable one. I already have my eyes on one. We should create an environment as close as possible to a family, since we’re trying to find out if we’re compatible. And it’ll quicken things if we actually do get married.”

“…Do these two know about the living together?”

“Yeah. They would gladly do so, if you agree.”

On Jin’s words, Basara stayed quiet for a while. But, soon enough he mumbled slowly.

“……Okay. It’s something you decided, Dad. So I’m fine with it.”

He wasn’t really casual about it. It was his true feelings.

“I see. Sorry for not telling you anything and proceeding on my own.”

“It’s fine. You must have your reasons for doing so.”

He should just tell him everything once he was able to.

He and Jin were blood-related child and father, but their trust in each other was far beyond just that.

Every since the time ''when Basara had caused that problem''--- the time when he threw away everything to protect him.

“Let’s get back, Dad… Or they will worry.”

Saying so, Basara returned to their table with Jin. When they said down on their seats,

“…Uh- Uhm,”

with a timidly tone, Maria tried to confirm their state of affairs.

“Ah, sorry… Just some talk amongst men.”

“He made such a serious face that I wondered what it’s going to be about, but then he said ‘These two are so cute that I can’t suppress my arousal’. Geez, boys in their puberty sure are horny.”

“Hahaha. Dad, that will have an afterpiece.”

An afterpiece about fists at night. Just with him and his father.

And then, to Mio, who looked as just worried as Maria,

“I was surprised by all the stuff I heard yesterday… But, it’s all right now.”

Basara said.

“Until your mother gets back and even though we still don’t know if the remarriage will work out… I think it’s a good idea to try out living together as a family before instead of just suddenly remarrying. Let’s slowly get to know more about each other.”

“…Really?”

Mio asked uneasily, whereupon Basara nodded with a “Yeah.”

“We’re a men’s household, so having girls around really helps… Right, Dad?”

“Right. Besides, I always wanted a cute daughter. Basara also pestered me forever about wanting a little sister. So don’t show any reservation, you two.”

“Thank you.” “Yay, please take good care of us.”

Mio and Maria quickly lowered her heads. And then-

“Well then, take care of me, Basara-kun.”

Raising her head, Mio gave him a smirking smiling face.

“But--- if you happened to come into the toilet again, I’ll kill you a hundred times then.”

“……Yes.”

Her eyes were serious. When Basara’s expression stiffened up, Jin said summing up.

“Okay then…. let’s get along as family from now on.”

This declaration made with a smile, was the beginning of a new life-style.

“Issues might arise, but--- let’s become happy together.”

Therefore--- even though prospects for a grim future hang somewhat in the air, it still felt peaceful.

Same for Toujou Basara’s every day life----and for the world.

Absolute Duo:Volume 1 Chapter 7

2013-10-11T12:42:14Z

Kurumi:

==Chapter 7 『{{Furigana|Ai(Love)|Eins(One)}} To Yurie』==

===Part 1===

“Tooru. That voice was…………..!!”

“Miyabi, stay here! I leave Tachibana to you!”

“U-un! H-how about Tooru-kun………….!?”

“We---------“

“Let’s go, Tooru”

When Yurie faced her sights towards me, she nodded back probably knowing my intentions.

“Aah, let’s go Yurie!”

“B-be careful Tooru-kun, Yurie-chan!”

With Miyabi’s worried voice coming from behind, towards the direction of the voice-------we climbed up stairs.

(What is this uneasiness……………!)

It’s the same like ''that day''.

Same like that day with the dojo wrapped in flames, an indescribable nasty premonition was swirling in the depths of my heart.

(What did…………..wasn’t this just a normal practice match?)

It’s true that, in case of getting attacked by a <<Blaze>>, an instantaneous pain would be produced.

But in the very end it was for an instant, what’s more it should be slightly pain, and not be something strong enough to cause a shout.

When we reached to the highest floor, there was a shadow standing in the middle of the corridor---------a silhouette of a characteristic rabbit ears was there.

In front of the sights of that shadow, I shouted the name of my friends lying down beside the wall.

“Tora--------!!”

“Kokonoe-kun………..!”

From our shout Tsukimi-sensei who was standing still in front of Tora, turned over to us with a shocked face.

“Tsukimi-sensei! What on earth happened!?”

“I-I don’t know, I just came here too!”

“Tooru. Tora and the rest has bad injuries”

When I approached closer to Tora after being called by Yurie, there was a pool of blood spreading under his feet.

From what we could see, he looks like he was cut by a sharp edged tool, and suffered serious injuries in several parts.

Nearby him, his partner Tatsu also suffered serious injuries just like him. And was unconscious.

“This side also has the same injuries”

“Looks like it. Anyway, we have to bring them to the first-aid room quickly………!”

“It’s okay--. Now that we are here, we can immediately contact the rescue team”

“Is that so. Thank you very much, Tsukimi-sensei”

“Uun, it is my job anyway…….more importantly, this injuries------“

After she started performing first-aid on Tora and Tatsu, Tsukimi-sense’s expression turned cloudy.

“Is there something wrong?”

“Un. It is just a possibility but………''is this something caused from the <<Blaze>>''……..”

“<<Blaze>> you say………?”

It’s true that, to hurt Tora and Tatsu who <<Exceed>> s like this, needs the same-------no, needs a power more than that or else it would be difficult.
Inspecting like this, the possibility of the opponent is a <<Exceed>> is very high but--------

There was only one thing I couldn’t comprehend.

“Wasn’t <<Blaze>> ''a weapon that could not injure a person''?”

Yes, that was it. My question was exactly what Yurie said.

“Tha-that’s----------“

Hesitating to say, Tsukimi-sensei was having worries whether is it alright to tell us--------it was that response.

“Sensei, please tell us. Is this something caused from the <<Blaze>>, didn’t you just say that just now”

“That’s…………..”

“Tsukimi-sensei!”

“I-I get it, I will tell you but------this is a very important confidential secret regarding the <<Luciful>> so keep this a secret okay? ……………actually, the fact that the <<Blaze>> is a weapon that can’t hurt people, is ''a flat-out lie''”

“A lie……….!?”

“Are you saying it is a lie?”

“Just like you know, the <<Blaze>> is a weapon manifested from someone’s <<Soul>>. That’s why, it gives mental damage by meddling with that person <<Soul>>--------you understand until here right……………..did you not question this before? That ''even though the <<Blaze>> can damage walls or the ground, how come it can’t hurt a person''”

“That’s true……….”

Tachibana’s <<{{Furigana|Iron chain|Chain}}>> plowed down a tree, and Miyabi’s <<{{Furigana|Chivalry lance|Lance}}>> destroyed the walls.

“Then, why is it peoples are the only ones that haven’t been injured yet?”

“…………..that is because; all of you recognize the <<Blaze>> as a weapon that could not injure people”

“That was the first thing the director………..---------!”

“……………that means, those words were the safety lock placed on us”

“Un, that is right. It is needed to know the truth in order to open the lock. But, it is impossible to hurt someone with a <<Blaze>> with only that. There is one more, an important thing needed. That is--------“

Making a strict expression that has not been seen until now, Tsukimi-sensei put the <<Blaze>>’s hidden truth in her mouth.

“''To put in killing intent''”

“---------!!”

“Hostility, malice………..strong intentions of hurting people will turn it into a lethal weapon. With just one way put into the heart, it is a weapon that could easily tack away someone’s life-------and that is the <<Blaze>>…………ah, just like what I said, this is a highly classified information so the special lecture ends here, I am counting on you”

“I understand”

(To think the <<Blaze>> had this kind of secret hidden……….no, right now-----)

I moved my sights from sensei to Tora, and looked at his condition.

Although first-aid was done, thinking about the large amount of bleeding, it would be bad if this goes on.

“The rescue team is late……..”

Judging from the time Tsukimi-sensei contacted them, it is not weird for them to be running over here anytime by now ……….

“The rescue team isn’t coming”

“Ehh?”

When I looked behind, Tsukimi-sensei was looking down on me while making a smile-------

And before I knew it, she was holding the silhouette of a fiendish looking <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>>.

“That-- is-- why--, I said the rescue group isn’t coming……..!”

“What, do you mean………?”

With her tone changed, I somehow managed to ask her while feeling surprised from the change of her atmosphere.

“I said the special lecture ended right”

Tsukimi-sensei lifted the sides of her mouth.

That was a joyful smile-----------------but a smile filled with evil intent.

Immediately right after, the cold steel was swung down.

The drawn trail, felt frightfully slow--------

“Tooru!!”

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Gikiin*!! With the sound of metal clashing, the time started flowing back to normal.

“Tora……….!!”

With his consciousness back, Tora threw his <<{{Furigana|Symbolic short sword|Katar}}>>, and bounced back the <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>> being swung down towards me.

“Fu,un………..Get away fast, you idiot………..thi,s fella…………is a monster…………”

“What do you mean Monster………?”

For Tora who usually is filled with confidence to say that, Tsukimi-sensei should be quite a strong user.

“Seriously, disturbing me when you just escaped death…………….i should have quickly finished you off instead of playing around”

“Kill…………….Tsukimi-sensei! Why!? Why are you doing this!!”

“Hnn--, before I answer that question……….i will give you one more special lecture as a service♥”

In an instant, her usual tone returned and she swing the <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>> up------and cut the <<{{Furigana|Symbolic short sword|Katar}}>> in half.

“Guh,AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!”

Immediately, Tora raised a shout and with the same time with his voice interrupted, he powerlessly collapsed to the floor.

That figure made me have a flashback of my sister-----Otoha.

“You bastard, what did you do-------------!!”

I draw back my fist like shooting an arrow, and released a single strike from the anger.

---but, it hit empty space and the wall behind was destroyed.

“Kuhah. That’s one heck of a power from that <<Level>>. …………..well, it doesn’t mean anything unless it hits though”

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Kuku* looking at Tsukimi-sensei making a ridiculing smile, my back muscles became cold.

Monster--------It took an instant for me to understand the reason why Tora said that.

Tsukimi-sensei who was supposed to be standing in front of me, made a distance of more than 10 meters in the slight instant she evaded my attack.

“Special lecture number 2. When the <<Blaze>> is destroyed, that person will be unconscious and won’t wake up for at least a whole day so be careful♪l. Well if that is all we get when having the <<Soul>> be destroyed, it is something that I cannot ask for more☆------Okay then, regarding why I am doing this”

She cut her words temporarily and replaced back the atmosphere around her.

“It’s work, its work. It’s a simple job of cleaning promising looking new students”

“You say, work……….? Don’t say something ridiculous!! Killing people as a job-------“

“Remember this, you brat. Any adults can kill if it is a job. The only difference is the killing method, either directly or indirectly”

“……………if this is a job that means, this isn’t your arbitrary then”

Even when Yurie asked, Tsukimi made a light smile and swung her head.

“That goes against the duty of confidentially so I can’t answer. …………well then, it’s about time we end our little talk. As special service, I’ll kill you bastards first before these bastards……………however, if either one of you bastards run away then------------“

“Who the hell will run away!!”

I grind my teeth, clenched my fist, and answered.

That scenery---------I never want to see someone die again.

“I won’t let anyone die in front of me anymore!! Never!!”

“……………same here, Tooru. I won’t let anyone die in front of me…………!”

Yurie nodded and stand beside me.

“Kuhah, mere <<{{Furigana|I|Level 1}}>>’s barking like that………..”

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Kukuku* while laughing, Tsukimi-sensei----------no, Tsukimi expanded the killing intent being she was releasing.

“Well then let’s start!! Entertain me even if it last for one minute once second!!”

Signaling with her shout, Tsukimi kicked the ground and charged-------

“Uh!?”

Her figure suddenly disappeared and I doubted my eyes.

“Up!”

“Wha!?”

It was exactly in that moment I raised my sights from hearing Yurie’s voice, Tsukimi kicked the ceiling.

My reaction was one moment late from those unexpected movements.

“Tooru!!”

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Gyariiin*! The <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>> aimed at me, was ward off by Yurie this time, protecting me.

She landed on the ground without losing her balance and Tsukimi released a second attack by making a side sweep.

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Gakyaaan*! The sound of metal violently clashing echoed.

This time, even though I used my <<Shield>> to block-------------

“Uaaaaaaaah!!”

She then swung down with all her strength like that and I was blown away.

“Tooru, are you okay…………!?”

“Aah, I am okay………….but, what power………”

The moment when I thought I completely blocked her, I was then pushed back.

The movement she showed before was frighteningly fast, and her power surpasses mine while her speed surpasses Yurie’s.

Her abilities that she showed during the physical ability enhancement training were only just a portion of it.

“Kuhaha, I’m glad I’m glad. From not ending just from that”

While making a fun smile, she made a sharp and heavy attack with a breathtaking speed.

“Kuh……………!!”

Even though I kept on barely protecting myself, it was a one sided defensive battle and the situation will certainly get gradually bad if this keeps up.

---if it is one person.

“I won’t let you. I will be troubled if you forgotten about me”

Yurie went behind Tsukimi and made a side sweep with her sword--------

But, Tsukimi repelled it with her <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>> without looking back.

“On top of it being 2 going against 1, I can’t really praise you for attacking from behind, silver head”

“I don’t think it is unfair if the opponent is in a much higher class”

“Same thoughts here!”

In no time, I attacked.

Although her carefree smile did not break, as expected even Tsukimi had no choice but to go defensive from the cooperative offence.

“Oooto, this is fun, this is fun”

2 vs 1. Even though we performed quite a number of hits, we couldn't land something that could be called a final hit.

………….but, the moment when Tsukimi slightly stopped her legs when blocking Yurie’s attack.

(Over here!!)

That very instant, I clenched my fist hard and stepped into the most important and also the final chance of winning.

“Hiiiiitttttt!!”

Right now once more, I pulled my fist back like shooting an arrow, and the 2nd time of the strike I can shoot daily------- {{Furigana|Thunder god’s strike|Mjolnir}}-------was released.

My muscle and bone creaked. If this doesn’t hit, then I would probably be powerless.

But----------------it was slightly far away.

Although it is cruel, my fist only scratched Tsukimi’s clothes.

“Kuhahahaha. Y.o.u m.i.s.s! The distance was just a little off!”

Just a few centimeters, but that made a big difference in the distinguishing victory.

I became impatient from the winning chance I saw for an instant and slightly failed in judging the distance.

“Damn, it………….!”

“Well then, it’s my turn next, <<Irregular>>!!”

“I already told you I won’t let you…………..!!”

Towards Tsukimi holding the <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>> aloft, even though Yurie once again force her way through using combination hits, Tsukimi took back steps to avoid.

However the flow did not stop there.

Although Tsukimi once again went on the defensive from Yurie’s specialty charging combination hits, she could not get rid of the carefree smile from her face.

Not long later, the moment the flow was interrupted-----

The corner of the joyful smile Tsukimi was making lifted further up.

“Kukuh, this time for sure, let’s go with my turn then!”

Although it is just one sword, she is not inferior at all to Yurie’s combination attacks------no, it was an evil blade storm even faster.

Completely turning defensive, Yurie somehow manages to block but, she was retreating little by little.

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Gyariin*! The nasty sound of metal clashing echoed and Yurie lost her balance.

A straight attack was done there. Even though it was hard, Yurie managed to block but couldn’t kill off Tsukimi’s physical strength and get blown away just like that.

“Yurie----------!!”

Raising a shot and not caring about my body, I jumped at Yurie and to catch her.

But, I was pushed away by the strong blow and after a flashy sound echoed, the classroom door was broken through and we showily charged into the tables scattering all around.

“Uh,kuh…………..!! Yurie, are you okay!?”

“Ya----. Thanks to you……..but even so, it was an unbelievable strength. Its expected from someone selected to be a special teacher here”

It would seem she wasn’t injured, and I made a sigh of relief.

---but, after I immediately re-brace myself, I made a bitter decision and said it.

“Yurie, take Tora and the rest with you and run away”

“Tooru?”

“I will buy some time. That’s why Yurie, after you move Tora and Tatsu to a safer place, call Mikuni-sensei for help-----“

The moment I said until there, Yurie used her index finger and touched my lips before swinging her head.

“Nai, I refuse. You won’t last 5 minutes with that body”

“……..You saw through it huh”

“You said {{Furigana|Thunder god’s strike|Mjolnir}} causes quite a burden in the body. And just now, Tooru said this. ''I won’t let anyone die in front of me anymore''. And I said this. ''I won’t let anyone die in front of me''. so-------“

Yurie directed her {{Furigana|red eyes|Ruby eyes}} towards the nearby entrance.

“I won’t run”

The sun completely fallen and a bunny ear silhouette entered the dim classroom.

“Well then, it’s about time we end this”

“……………you can end it if you want but, what are you planning after killing us? Isn’t time the only problem for the academy side to notice?”

“No need to worry, I won’t do something that will expose me. Even if I am exposed, a school is a place where if a problem occurs, they will use their power to cover it up instead of investigation for the cause……….okay, now that my question is cleared, it is my turn to ask questions too”

[[File:Absolute Duo Volume 1 Non-Colour 9.jpg|thumb]]

Tsukimi crawls her tongue on the blade and made a light smile.

“Which one of you wants to die first?”

The small light illuminating the dark classroom reflected the blade.

It looked an ominous light but, we were not afraid and replied back almost at the same time.

[Yurie I will--------][Tooru I will--------]

“”Protect you!!””

“Kuhah, even though it isn’t long, as expected from a <<Duo>>? Or is it a Hollywood suitable male female relationship has been made?……………….well whatever is okay I guess. There is no difference since both of you are going to die anywayy!!”

Tsukimi swung down making a sword flash, and I blocked it.

Although Yurie attacked at that moment, Tsukimi was already not there------------ she kicked the wall, floor, ceiling, using movements transcending humans befitting the name of <<Exceed>> and, she was toying with us.

I and Yurie faced our backs together, and we continued protecting each other from the attacking evil blade from all directions but, scratches gradually increased, and we became disadvantageous.

(Damn, she is just toying with us…………!)

My stamina was depleting, and after one step and another, defeat-------- the reality of death is getting closer.

“------------!!”

Yurie failed in blocking and fresh blood was scattered out from her {{Furigana|white skin|Snow white}}.

In the next instant, her small chin was kicked, and Yurie was send flying to the corner of the room.

“Yurie---------!!”

At the same time I shouted, i grabbed a nearby table and swing it.

As expected even Tsukimi can’t dodge this and was send flying the opposite side of where Yurie was.

“Are you okay, Yurie!?”

“--------!! I am, okay…………”

When I ran over, Yurie distorted her face in pain.

Coming from the wound running along her thighs, blood was ceaselessly flowing out.

To Yurie who has that speed as her asset, it could be said it is the same with her strongest weapon killed off.

However, since the situation was getting even hopeless, it conversely made me serious.

I clenched my fist. For the strongest attack I have.

It was strange enough whether if I can release the 3rd shot which crosses my limits.

But if I can’t release it, we’ll die.

Not only me, but also my friends, and even the girl in my arms.

(I will definitely……………protect them!!)

I have to release it, and precisely end this.

It doesn’t mean anything unless it hits……………Tsukimi said this.

(Then I have to think of a way to hit!)

“Too…………..ru……………..”

In that hopeless situation, Yurie called me weakly.

“Sorry. If you didn’t become my <<Duo>> you wouldn’t have to go through this………….”

“Nai, there is no such thing………………I was very happy when Tooru brought his hands out to me. Although it was not long but, whether it was drinking apple tea or, the time we have matches or, the time we watched tv together, It was very enjoyable so……………that’s why, please do not say that”

“Yurie………………….”

Hearing the silver girl words, even though not even a month passed but, the feelings that I will never forget float out like a rotating lantern-----------------

“-------------!!”

Inside there was a possibility--------------I found out the technique how the {{Furigana|Thunder god’s strike|Mjolnir}} can hit, and i was shook by a shock as if I was struck by a lightning bolt.

(That’s right, <<Duo>>…………..this is it……!)

Although it could be called a possibility, it might be in the level to be called a miracle.

But, right now I have to believe in this or else there is no other way to survive.

Yes, this is a road that can only be opened by ''believing''.

However, before this could be reached, there is something I have to do no matter what.

(For that…………!)

“uh Seriously…………now my clothes are dirty, damn it”

In front of my sights, there was a shadow standing up while cursing.

---I knew this but, as expected there was no damage.

Looking at Tsukimi, Yurie pressed on her wounds to try to get up but------

“Yurie, please rest here quietly. I will fight by myself from here”

“Tooru…………?”

“I will definitely protect you, Yurie”

“Kuh, Kuahahahaha! Are you retarded. Even though you were suppressed in 2 vs 1, now of all things, you say by yourself? You say protect? Are you seriously saying that?”

“Aah, I am serious. I will defeat you alone and protect Yurie!!”

“Tooru, it is impossible to do it alone……..! I will also…..!!”

“…………Yurie. I am happy for those feelings but, right now please follow what I say”

“B-but……….”

I faced my back to Yurie who was perplexed from my words and stared at Tsukimi.

“Okay come! Your evil blade, I will stop it!!”

“Kuhah, you will regret the more you bark, <<Irregular>>. Since you said it like that, I will leave you half-dead. And then----------“

The tip of her blade was pointing to me at first, and then it was pointing at Yurie next.

“I will kill that silver head in front of you who can’t move! And for last, you will die while grieving on how powerless you are, from your words!!”

At the same time with her roar, Tsukimi attacked.

However, no matter how many times she made sharp blade flashes, I blocked all of it with my <<Shield>>.

(I won’t let you……………! I will never let anyone else become like Otoha!!)

Burden and tired, my body felt heavy like lead but, the feeling of protecting Yurie, the oath made my concentration to its limit and was moving my body.

But that was not all.

In the place I am standing-----------thanks to the place of the corner of the classroom, the sword slash path which was hard to see through until now was limited to the forward direction and made it easier to read.

On top of that, since Tsukimi was keeping her powers in check in order to leave me half-dead, each step in from each attack turned shallow, and became lighter.

“Don’t persevere!!”

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Gakiin*!! The <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>> violently hit on the <<Shield>> and I came face to face with Tsukimi.

“What’s wrong, didn’t you say you were going to make me regret? At the very least, show me if you can make at least one scratch on this <<Shield>>”

“You sure piss me off, oi………….i changed my thoughts. As expected I should start killing you first <<Irregular>>!! I will slice that prided <<Shield>> of yours together with you!!”

Tsukimi’s irritated attitude was exposed and she empty some distance before preparing her sword above her head.

The expanding pressure shook the atmosphere and *Chiri**Chiri* the blood lust was stabbing my skin.

A full power strike is coming.

Just like her words, in order to slice through this <<Shield>> together with taking my life away. But------

“''I was waiting for this time, for this time to be able to read your breathing pattern''”

Without looking away from her, I whispered to Yurie with a soft voice.

“But, it is impossible for me alone from this point onwards……………but, I believe I can do it with it is two people”

“Tooru………….?”

Hearing my words, Yurie made a doubtful face.

“We are twin blades tied together with a bond so, we will definitely……….!!”

“What are you blabbering about over there? Since that is your farewells to this world, how about you make a love confession with a loud voice for last, like I LOVE YOU! Kuhahahahaha!!”

Towards Tsukimi who was giving out a disgusting laugh, I felt ''thankful'' for the first time.

“Then, I guess I will engulf myself in your words then”

“Aaah?”

I took a deep breath------and shouted

“{{Furigana|Love|Ai}}<ref group ="1g">A word play. Ai sounds like "I" but also has the meaning of love.</ref> to-------Yurie!!”

“To-Tooru……..!?”

“Kua-------ahaahahaha!! This guy seriously confessed!!”

Ignoring Tsukimi, I once again shouted.

“I will------''Tou''!!”

“-------------!”

Yurie gasped-------that was the last instant, and was the start.

“This is thanks for the laugh!! I will slash both of you togetherr!!”

Tsukimi announced that while pointing the sword at me-------and jumped in.

The cold steel was swung down in a slightly further distance than me.

“Diiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!”

Even if I block this, {{Furigana|Thunder god’s strike|Mjolnir}} will only cut through the air like last time. But--------

(Now……….!!)

Believing in everything, I pulled my fist back like shooting an arrow.

“Yurie--------------!!”

“Whaa!?”

<nowiki>*</nowiki>GIkiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnn*!! The violent weapon echoed throughout--------and Tsukimi’s face distorted in shock.

''An unsuitable clear *Chirin* sound of a bell was in front of her in this place.''

That’s because Yurie stepped into Tsukimi’s chest area, and blocked her <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>>.

“Why……….are you………silver headdddd!!”

A small chance was born from her shock.

And in this moment, this very instant, it is the last chance of winning-----------the opened path of possibility that could be called miracle.

“The one ending-----is you!!”

“Kuhahahahah, too bad! you’re far!!”

“I am not-----far!!”

Suddenly pulling her body, Tsukimi was certainly slightly distant from me.

But that was, ''if I was aiming for Tsukimi’s body''.

“Pierce through----------------!!”

My fist rapidly cut through the air.

The {{Furigana|Thunder god’s strike|Mjolnir}} released beyond my limits-----seized the <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>>, piercing through it and was smashed.

“Guh…………uu……..”

“Please don’t force yourself, Tooru”

“A-aah………..i didn’t plan on forcing myself though…………….”

“It is not good to act tough. Please take care of your body more”

“I know. Thank you for worrying about me, Yurie”

“Ya---. You are welcome………….okay, I will be going to take a bath now”

“Aah, take your time”

Nodding, Yurie walked towards the dressing room while dragging her leg--------she turned around half-way.

“No peeking okay, Tooru”

“Yu-Yurie”

“It’s a joke”

Towards me who was making a bitter face from the bitter memories, Yurie made a small smile and disappeared into the dressing room.

(Seriously……..even though it is tough for herself too……..)

While feeling painful looking at her dragging her legs, I vividly remembered the ----------<<{{Furigana|New blade battle|Newcomer battle}}>>.

3 days have passed after that day------entering the world’s GW, and Kouryou academy was not an exception so we entered the long-term holiday. Even though we finally had consecutive holidays, we did not go outside anywhere and passed a majority of time inside the room.

……………rather, we had no choice but to take a rest.

Although the <<Exceed>>‘s regenerative abilities are several times better than an ordinary person, my body was still creaking and I could not move properly.

It means the number of {{Furigana|Thunder god’s strike|Mjolnir}} which was released over my limits was, that much of a burden to my body.

It looks like Yurie could finally walk but, luckily her wounds would not leave any after-effects.

Tora and Tatsu managed to escape death, and it looks like they won’t be coming out from the medical treatment building during GW.

(Even so, it’s amazing we managed won against that annoying opponent………)

Looking back at the fight with Tsukimi, I seriously thought that.

In order to gain victory, it was essential to pile several conditions on each other.

One is to make an attack that will definitely kill me.

Fighting alone, by telling her to stay quiet, she will be conscious about Yurie being out of battle potential, and be very conscious of me blocking with my <<Shield>>.

Also, the breathing and {{Furigana|Ai|I}}--------telling these two words, to make her notice my aim.

If I know a big swing is coming, reading her breathing will be easy.

Yurie who suffered injuries enter her chest area, and somehow managed to block the attack since she was closer to the opponent’s fulcrum making the attack power drop.

Next was to break the <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>>----------the <<Blaze>> manifested by the soul.

Having her <<Soul>> broken, Tsukimi was restrained by Mikuni-sensei who came running after Miyabi and Tachibana contacted the Academy side, when they came to see us since we weren’t really coming back.

After that, I don’t know what happened to Tsukimi.

(What kind of goal did she had…………?)

It seems the academy side doesn’t plan on telling us about it.

From Mikuni-Sensei who was present during Tsukimi’s restraining, he made sure we won’t tell anyone about this matter and mark the end of this matter.
(It was in an unsatisfying way but, it is one matter down just in case………….)

I drank up the lukewarm apple tea and lean close to the wall.

Since it was annoying I could not move my creaking body so, it looks like today will also be another day only watching television---------and it was on that time when I thought that.

“Tooru”

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Hyokooto* Yurie brought her face out from the dressing room. And water droplets were still dropping from her hair.

Incidentally I could almost see her small shoulders, thin arms, and also her chest looked so I averted my sights in panic.

“Wha-what’s wrong?”

“I am very sorry about this but, could you please take the towel for me”

“Towel…………?”

“Ya----.i forgot to bring it with me. It is in the 2nd drawer from the top of my clothing case, so please”

“A-aah. I get it……………..”

After nodding, I opened Yurie’s clothing case and peeked inside.

(Uuh, I look like a pervert………………)

Even though I was asked to do so, I can’t let anyone see me searching through a girls’ clothing case.

(Towel………….is this it. It is in the place like she said but-------)

It’s true the towel was in the second drawer.

It was beside the ''oddly folded cloths''.

While thinking I should not be looking at it, whether it is something with a lot of frills attached to it or there was a lot of white, I have accidentally found out something that was better off with me not knowing about it.

“So-sorry for the wait………….”

“Sorry to make you force yourself, Tooru”

After I brought the towel to the dressing room with my creaking body, Yurie extended her hands out with her body barely coming out just like just now.
Even though the situation was only a situation and it can’t be helped, because her skin color ratio was too higher than usual I had trouble looking for a place to look…………and in that moment I thought that.

“Uuh………….!”

A painful voice was let out.

When extending her hand, she probably put her body weight on her injured leg unconsciously.

She then fell forward from unable to support her body--------and Yurie came out in the state when she was born.

“Bu!? Yu-Yurie!!”

I suddenly catch her but-----------since I was unable to put any strength into my legs, we fell to the floor just like that.

“Ouchouchouch…………”

My eyes were sparkling since I hit the back of my head.

(Uh………I-isn’t this………….)

After my sights gradually turned back to normal, I understood that the situation has turned into something unbelievable.

The fact of right now, I was hugging a naked girl.

{{Furigana|Silver hair|Silver Blonde}}, {{Furigana|red eyes|Ruby eyes}}, {{Furigana|white skin|Snow white}}---------

All of that perfectly joined together and this girl looked as if she was a delicately manufactured doll.

She was unlike a human; I would believe if I was told she was an Angel.

“To-Tooru……………”

Her face was closer than ever before.

Yurie’s cheeks were slightly red.

That redness---------that embarrassment was the proof that this girl is a human with warmth and not a doll nor an angel.

“Yurie……….errr………..”

During this time, I had no idea what I was about to say.

It was because I could not say any further than that.

That’s because------

“Kokonoe.I brought fomentation over. And bandages for Yurie too”

“To-Tooru-kun, Yurie-chan, hello…………….”

Turning into something troubling, the girls we became acquainted with entered the room.

[Ko-Kokonoe………….][To-Tooru-kun]

Seeing that the naked girl----------Yurie was being hug closely by me, both of their faces stiffened.

“Ko-koko-Kokonoe! Wha-wha-what kind of shameless thi-thing are you!! Making YuYu-Yurie naked, what on earth, what are you, what are you doing--------------!?”

“N-no, this is a misunderstanding…………….!!”

“Yo-your shamelessness knows no bounds!! Miyabi! Don’t keep quite there and say something!!”

Contrastive to Tachibana’s angry shouting, Miyabi softly muttered ''only one word''.

“<<Blaze>>……………….”

The <<Flame>> danced from the <<Word that carried strength>>, and the <<{{Furigana|Chivalry lance|Lance}}>> appeared in Miyabi’s hands-------

“Wai, a sec, Miyabi!? Yu-Yurie! Explain how this got this way---------“

“Tooru-kun you………………Pervert--------------------------!!”

Like this, a small commotion occurred for last and the curtains of the <<{{Furigana|New blade battle|Newcomer battle}}>> finally closed.

===Part 2===

“-------that’s all for the <<{{Furigana|New blade battle|Newcomer battle}}>> recording”

About the time Tsukimi Rito <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>> was destroyed by Tooru, and collapsing a male------Mikuni stopped the video.

“Kuhah. Going to the extent of showing the video, even though it was not done cynically, isn’t my result report enough—“

The one using abusive language was Rito who was just shown fighting with Tooru in the video.

“A picture is worth a thousand words, it’s something like that. And more importantly your report was too rough”

“Yeah Yeah. Sorry bout that”

Completely calm, Towards Rito who was swinging her rabbit ears, Mikuni swing his head mix with a sigh.

“But even so, to think you seriously went to kill………if anything happens by any chance, what were you planning to do”

“……………I don’t mind. It was me who told her to leave it to her decision on the spot”

After the owner of the person opened her mouth for the first time, Mikuni and Rito directed their sights to her.

Sitting further up, there was a girl wearing a gothic dress around her-------it was Tsukumo Sakuya, Kouryou academy’s director.

“When a seed bud in a harsh environment, it is only then when it will bloom to a beautiful flower, it is what I think”

Before the <<New blade battle(Newcomer battle)>>, Rito made a smile when she was told that things would be left to her and killing might be okay depending on her. During that time, having said every single word Sakuya said without changing any of it, Mikuni lowered his head in apology before, returning back to the previous topic of the video.

“However, this is a surprise. To think a person that could drive a <<{{Furigana|III|Level 3}}>> away appeared ''again''…………”

It was not surprising for Mikuni to be surprised.

Normally, a person’s ability will be enhanced several times after going up one <<Level>>.

Therefore, if there are 2 ranks different, it would be a hopeless difference in strength even though it is against 2.

That is why, even though there are various factors involved, it was a lucky result for Tooru and Yurie who is <<{{Furigana|I|Level 1}}>> to defeat Rito who is <<{{Furigana|III|Level 3}}>>.

“…………seriously, I never thought they would practice something that was just thought out recently. It’s amazing he can make a calm decision in that situation”

“Oya, it is not like you to praise the opponent who defeated you”

“There are times that even I would praise”

While making a sarcastic smile, Rito threw her legs and sat on the sofa.

“Aren’t you in a very good mood. Perhaps you took a liking to him?”

“Kuhah, don’t spout crap--------is what I wanted to say but, I can’t deny that…………well, if you say I am interested in him then you are much more than me, Ojou-sama<ref group ="1g">My lady</ref>”

Those words,

“Fufu, it is only natural to be interested in him since he is someone who is related to <<Him>>”

“''That guy'', huh…………….”

Hearing one sentence from Sakuya, Mikuni and Tsukimi raised their eyebrows slightly together.

“…………well then, my job is done with this but-------what should I do from now on?”

“As you like. Rito, do as you wish………….”

“As I like Nee~……….Kuhah, if that is the case----------I guess I’ll go on like this”

“I understand”

“………………is that okay? if Tsukimi is left behind, then there is a possibility our connections with her will be discovered by them--------“

“The reason doesn’t matter. They have no skills to confirm this, Mikuni”

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Kusu**Kusu* Sakuya made a bewitching giggle.

Towards that smile, that decision, Mikuni nodded knowing any further views would not be forgiven.

“Then, as you wish”

Not long later, there was only one presence left inside the room filled with quietness.

Inside the darkness, the remaining girl was sinking her body deeply into a luxurious chair.

After a long silence, Sakuya slightly lifted the corners of her mouth.

Enlightened everything was starting to move, inside that she felt a certain thing in her seat.

“It is the start of the party…………..”

On how that party’s demise is concluded, she does not know for Sakuya ''is not God''.

Even if it is her who stands in the {{Furigana|forbidden|God’s}} realm for manipulating human genetics.

As long as they are humans, they will not know the future.

Therefore the black dress girl muttered.

“I pray, that our paths would reach the <<Absolute Duo>>”

2013-10-11T12:12:02Z

Kurumi:

==Chapter 7 『{{Furigana|Ai(Love)|Eins(One)}} To Yurie』==

===Part 1===

“Tooru. That voice was…………..!!”

“Miyabi, stay here! I leave Tachibana to you!”

“U-un! H-how about Tooru-kun………….!?”

“We---------“

“Let’s go, Tooru”

When Yurie faced her sights towards me, she nodded back probably knowing my intentions.

“Aah, let’s go Yurie!”

“B-be careful Tooru-kun, Yurie-chan!”

With Miyabi’s worried voice coming from behind, towards the direction of the voice-------we climbed up stairs.

(What is this uneasiness……………!)

It’s the same like ''that day''.

Same like that day with the dojo wrapped in flames, an indescribable nasty premonition was swirling in the depths of my heart.

(What did…………..wasn’t this just a normal practice match?)

It’s true that, in case of getting attacked by a <<Blaze>>, an instantaneous pain would be produced.

But in the very end it was for an instant, what’s more it should be slightly pain, and not be something strong enough to cause a shout.

When we reached to the highest floor, there was a shadow standing in the middle of the corridor---------a silhouette of a characteristic rabbit ears was there.

In front of the sights of that shadow, I shouted the name of my friends lying down beside the wall.

“Tora--------!!”

“Kokonoe-kun………..!”

From our shout Tsukimi-sensei who was standing still in front of Tora, turned over to us with a shocked face.

“Tsukimi-sensei! What on earth happened!?”

“I-I don’t know, I just came here too!”

“Tooru. Tora and the rest has bad injuries”

When I approached closer to Tora after being called by Yurie, there was a pool of blood spreading under his feet.

From what we could see, he looks like he was cut by a sharp edged tool, and suffered serious injuries in several parts.

Nearby him, his partner Tatsu also suffered serious injuries just like him. And was unconscious.

“This side also has the same injuries”

“Looks like it. Anyway, we have to bring them to the first-aid room quickly………!”

“It’s okay--. Now that we are here, we can immediately contact the rescue team”

“Is that so. Thank you very much, Tsukimi-sensei”

“Uun, it is my job anyway…….more importantly, this injuries------“

After she started performing first-aid on Tora and Tatsu, Tsukimi-sense’s expression turned cloudy.

“Is there something wrong?”

“Un. It is just a possibility but………''is this something caused from the <<Blaze>>''……..”

“<<Blaze>> you say………?”

It’s true that, to hurt Tora and Tatsu who <<Exceed>> s like this, needs the same-------no, needs a power more than that or else it would be difficult.
Inspecting like this, the possibility of the opponent is a <<Exceed>> is very high but--------

There was only one thing I couldn’t comprehend.

“Wasn’t <<Blaze>> ''a weapon that could not injure a person''?”

Yes, that was it. My question was exactly what Yurie said.

“Tha-that’s----------“

Hesitating to say, Tsukimi-sensei was having worries whether is it alright to tell us--------it was that response.

“Sensei, please tell us. Is this something caused from the <<Blaze>>, didn’t you just say that just now”

“That’s…………..”

“Tsukimi-sensei!”

“I-I get it, I will tell you but------this is a very important confidential secret regarding the <<Luciful>> so keep this a secret okay? ……………actually, the fact that the <<Blaze>> is a weapon that can’t hurt people, is ''a flat-out lie''”

“A lie……….!?”

“Are you saying it is a lie?”

“Just like you know, the <<Blaze>> is a weapon manifested from someone’s <<Soul>>. That’s why, it gives mental damage by meddling with that person <<Soul>>--------you understand until here right……………..did you not question this before? That ''even though the <<Blaze>> can damage walls or the ground, how come it can’t hurt a person''”

“That’s true……….”

Tachibana’s <<{{Furigana|Iron chain|Chain}}>> plowed down a tree, and Miyabi’s <<{{Furigana|Chivalry lance|Lance}}>> destroyed the walls.

“Then, why is it peoples are the only ones that haven’t been injured yet?”

“…………..that is because; all of you recognize the <<Blaze>> as a weapon that could not injure people”

“That was the first thing the director………..---------!”

“……………that means, those words were the safety lock placed on us”

“Un, that is right. It is needed to know the truth in order to open the lock. But, it is impossible to hurt someone with a <<Blaze>> with only that. There is one more, an important thing needed. That is--------“

Making a strict expression that has not been seen until now, Tsukimi-sensei put the <<Blaze>>’s hidden truth in her mouth.

“''To put in killing intent''”

“---------!!”

“Hostility, malice………..strong intentions of hurting people will turn it into a lethal weapon. With just one way put into the heart, it is a weapon that could easily tack away someone’s life-------and that is the <<Blaze>>…………ah, just like what I said, this is a highly classified information so the special lecture ends here, I am counting on you”

“I understand”

(To think the <<Blaze>> had this kind of secret hidden……….no, right now-----)

I moved my sights from sensei to Tora, and looked at his condition.

Although first-aid was done, thinking about the large amount of bleeding, it would be bad if this goes on.

“The rescue team is late……..”

Judging from the time Tsukimi-sensei contacted them, it is not weird for them to be running over here anytime by now ……….

“The rescue team isn’t coming”

“Ehh?”

When I looked behind, Tsukimi-sensei was looking down on me while making a smile-------

And before I knew it, she was holding the silhouette of a fiendish looking <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>>.

“That-- is-- why--, I said the rescue group isn’t coming……..!”

“What, do you mean………?”

With her tone changed, I somehow managed to ask her while feeling surprised from the change of her atmosphere.

“I said the special lecture ended right”

Tsukimi-sensei lifted the sides of her mouth.

That was a joyful smile-----------------but a smile filled with evil intent.

Immediately right after, the cold steel was swung down.

The drawn trail, felt frightfully slow--------

“Tooru!!”

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Gikiin*!! With the sound of metal clashing, the time started flowing back to normal.

“Tora……….!!”

With his consciousness back, Tora threw his <<{{Furigana|Symbolic short sword|Katar}}>>, and bounced back the <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>> being swung down towards me.

“Fu,un………..Get away fast, you idiot………..thi,s fella…………is a monster…………”

“What do you mean Monster………?”

For Tora who usually is filled with confidence to say that, Tsukimi-sensei should be quite a strong user.

“Seriously, disturbing me when you just escaped death…………….i should have quickly finished you off instead of playing around”

“Kill…………….Tsukimi-sensei! Why!? Why are you doing this!!”

“Hnn--, before I answer that question……….i will give you one more special lecture as a service♥”

In an instant, her usual tone returned and she swing the <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>> up------and cut the <<{{Furigana|Symbolic short sword|Katar}}>> in half.

“Guh,AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!”

Immediately, Tora raised a shout and with the same time with his voice interrupted, he powerlessly collapsed to the floor.

That figure made me have a flashback of my sister-----Otoha.

“You bastard, what did you do-------------!!”

I draw back my fist like shooting an arrow, and released a single strike from the anger.

---but, it hit empty space and the wall behind was destroyed.

“Kuhah. That’s one heck of a power from that <<Level>>. …………..well, it doesn’t mean anything unless it hits though”

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Kuku* looking at Tsukimi-sensei making a ridiculing smile, my back muscles became cold.

Monster--------It took an instant for me to understand the reason why Tora said that.

Tsukimi-sensei who was supposed to be standing in front of me, made a distance of more than 10 meters in the slight instant she evaded my attack.

“Special lecture number 2. When the <<Blaze>> is destroyed, that person will be unconscious and won’t wake up for at least a whole day so be careful♪l. Well if that is all we get when having the <<Soul>> be destroyed, it is something that I cannot ask for more☆------Okay then, regarding why I am doing this”

She cut her words temporarily and replaced back the atmosphere around her.

“It’s work, its work. It’s a simple job of cleaning promising looking new students”

“You say, work……….? Don’t say something ridiculous!! Killing people as a job-------“

“Remember this, you brat. Any adults can kill if it is a job. The only difference is the killing method, either directly or indirectly”

“……………if this is a job that means, this isn’t your arbitrary then”

Even when Yurie asked, Tsukimi made a light smile and swung her head.

“That goes against the duty of confidentially so I can’t answer. …………well then, it’s about time we end our little talk. As special service, I’ll kill you bastards first before these bastards……………however, if either one of you bastards run away then------------“

“Who the hell will run away!!”

I grind my teeth, clenched my fist, and answered.

That scenery---------I never want to see someone die again.

“I won’t let anyone die in front of me anymore!! Never!!”

“……………same here, Tooru. I won’t let anyone die in front of me…………!”

Yurie nodded and stand beside me.

“Kuhah, mere <<{{Furigana|I|Level 1}}>>’s barking like that………..”

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Kukuku* while laughing, Tsukimi-sensei----------no, Tsukimi expanded the killing intent being she was releasing.

“Well then let’s start!! Entertain me even if it last for one minute once second!!”

Signaling with her shout, Tsukimi kicked the ground and charged-------

“Uh!?”

Her figure suddenly disappeared and I doubted my eyes.

“Up!”

“Wha!?”

It was exactly in that moment I raised my sights from hearing Yurie’s voice, Tsukimi kicked the ceiling.

My reaction was one moment late from those unexpected movements.

“Tooru!!”

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Gyariiin*! The <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>> aimed at me, was ward off by Yurie this time, protecting me.

She landed on the ground without losing her balance and Tsukimi released a second attack by making a side sweep.

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Gakyaaan*! The sound of metal violently clashing echoed.

This time, even though I used my <<Shield>> to block-------------

“Uaaaaaaaah!!”

She then swung down with all her strength like that and I was blown away.

“Tooru, are you okay…………!?”

“Aah, I am okay………….but, what power………”

The moment when I thought I completely blocked her, I was then pushed back.

The movement she showed before was frighteningly fast, and her power surpasses mine while her speed surpasses Yurie’s.

Her abilities that she showed during the physical ability enhancement training were only just a portion of it.

“Kuhaha, I’m glad I’m glad. From not ending just from that”

While making a fun smile, she made a sharp and heavy attack with a breathtaking speed.

“Kuh……………!!”

Even though I kept on barely protecting myself, it was a one sided defensive battle and the situation will certainly get gradually bad if this keeps up.

---if it is one person.

“I won’t let you. I will be troubled if you forgotten about me”

Yurie went behind Tsukimi and made a side sweep with her sword--------

But, Tsukimi repelled it with her <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>> without looking back.

“On top of it being 2 going against 1, I can’t really praise you for attacking from behind, silver head”

“I don’t think it is unfair if the opponent is in a much higher class”

“Same thoughts here!”

In no time, I attacked.

Although her carefree smile did not break, as expected even Tsukimi had no choice but to go defensive from the cooperative offence.

“Oooto, this is fun, this is fun”

2 vs 1. Even though we performed quite a number of hits, we couldn't land something that could be called a final hit.

………….but, the moment when Tsukimi slightly stopped her legs when blocking Yurie’s attack.

(Over here!!)

That very instant, I clenched my fist hard and stepped into the most important and also the final chance of winning.

“Hiiiiitttttt!!”

Right now once more, I pulled my fist back like shooting an arrow, and the 2nd time of the strike I can shoot daily------- {{Furigana|Thunder god’s strike|Mjolnir}}-------was released.

My muscle and bone creaked. If this doesn’t hit, then I would probably be powerless.

But----------------it was slightly far away.

Although it is cruel, my fist only scratched Tsukimi’s clothes.

“Kuhahahaha. Y.o.u m.i.s.s! The distance was just a little off!”

Just a few centimeters, but that made a big difference in the distinguishing victory.

I became impatient from the winning chance I saw for an instant and slightly failed in judging the distance.

“Damn, it………….!”

“Well then, it’s my turn next, <<Irregular>>!!”

“I already told you I won’t let you…………..!!”

Towards Tsukimi holding the <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>> aloft, even though Yurie once again force her way through using combination hits, Tsukimi took back steps to avoid.

However the flow did not stop there.

Although Tsukimi once again went on the defensive from Yurie’s specialty charging combination hits, she could not get rid of the carefree smile from her face.

Not long later, the moment the flow was interrupted-----

The corner of the joyful smile Tsukimi was making lifted further up.

“Kukuh, this time for sure, let’s go with my turn then!”

Although it is just one sword, she is not inferior at all to Yurie’s combination attacks------no, it was an evil blade storm even faster.

Completely turning defensive, Yurie somehow manages to block but, she was retreating little by little.

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Gyariin*! The nasty sound of metal clashing echoed and Yurie lost her balance.

A straight attack was done there. Even though it was hard, Yurie managed to block but couldn’t kill off Tsukimi’s physical strength and get blown away just like that.

“Yurie----------!!”

Raising a shot and not caring about my body, I jumped at Yurie and to catch her.

But, I was pushed away by the strong blow and after a flashy sound echoed, the classroom door was broken through and we showily charged into the tables scattering all around.

“Uh,kuh…………..!! Yurie, are you okay!?”

“Ya----. Thanks to you……..but even so, it was an unbelievable strength. Its expected from someone selected to be a special teacher here”

It would seem she wasn’t injured, and I made a sigh of relief.

---but, after I immediately re-brace myself, I made a bitter decision and said it.

“Yurie, take Tora and the rest with you and run away”

“Tooru?”

“I will buy some time. That’s why Yurie, after you move Tora and Tatsu to a safer place, call Mikuni-sensei for help-----“

The moment I said until there, Yurie used her index finger and touched my lips before swinging her head.

“Nai, I refuse. You won’t last 5 minutes with that body”

“……..You saw through it huh”

“You said {{Furigana|Thunder god’s strike|Mjolnir}} causes quite a burden in the body. And just now, Tooru said this. ''I won’t let anyone die in front of me anymore''. And I said this. ''I won’t let anyone die in front of me''. so-------“

Yurie directed her {{Furigana|red eyes|Ruby eyes}} towards the nearby entrance.

“I won’t run”

The sun completely fallen and a bunny ear silhouette entered the dim classroom.

“Well then, it’s about time we end this”

“……………you can end it if you want but, what are you planning after killing us? Isn’t time the only problem for the academy side to notice?”

“No need to worry, I won’t do something that will expose me. Even if I am exposed, a school is a place where if a problem occurs, they will use their power to cover it up instead of investigation for the cause……….okay, now that my question is cleared, it is my turn to ask questions too”

[[File:Absolute Duo Volume 1 Non-Colour 9.jpg|thumb]]

Tsukimi crawls her tongue on the blade and made a light smile.

“Which one of you wants to die first?”

The small light illuminating the dark classroom reflected the blade.

It looked an ominous light but, we were not afraid and replied back almost at the same time.

[Yurie I will--------][Tooru I will--------]

“”Protect you!!””

“Kuhah, even though it isn’t long, as expected from a <<Duo>>? Or is it a Hollywood suitable male female relationship has been made?……………….well whatever is okay I guess. There is no difference since both of you are going to die anywayy!!”

Tsukimi swung down making a sword flash, and I blocked it.

Although Yurie attacked at that moment, Tsukimi was already not there------------ she kicked the wall, floor, ceiling, using movements transcending humans befitting the name of <<Exceed>> and, she was toying with you.

I and Yurie faced our backs together, and we continued protecting each other from the attacking evil blade from all directions but, scratches gradually increased, and we became disadvantageous.

(Damn, she is just toying with us…………!)

My stamina was depleting, and after one step and another, defeat-------- the reality of death is getting closer.

“------------!!”

Yurie failed in blocking and fresh blood was scattered out from her {{Furigana|white skin|Snow white}}.

In the next instant, her small chin was kicked, and Yurie was send flying to the corner of the room.

“Yurie---------!!”

At the same time I shouted, i grabbed a nearby table and swing it.

As expected even Tsukimi can’t dodge this and was send flying the opposite side of where Yurie was.

“Are you okay, Yurie!?”

“--------!! I am, okay…………”

When I ran over, Yurie distorted her face in pain.

Coming from the wound running along her thighs, blood was ceaselessly flowing out.

To Yurie who has that speed as her asset, it could be said it is the same with her strongest weapon killed off.

However, since the situation was getting even hopeless, it conversely made me serious.

I clenched my fist. For the strongest attack I have.

It was strange enough whether if I can release the 3rd shot which crosses my limits.

But if I can’t release it, we’ll die.

Not only me, but also my friends, and even the girl in my arms.

(I will definitely……………protect them!!)

I have to release it, and precisely end this.

It doesn’t mean anything unless it hits……………Tsukimi said this.

(Then I have to think of a way to hit!)

“Too…………..ru……………..”

In that hopeless situation, Yurie called me weakly.

“Sorry. If you didn’t become my <<Duo>> you wouldn’t have to go through this………….”

“Nai, there is no such thing………………I was very happy when Tooru brought his hands out to me. Although it was not long but, whether it was drinking apple tea or, the time we have matches or, the time we watched tv together, It was very enjoyable so……………that’s why, please do not say that”

“Yurie………………….”

Hearing the silver girl words, even though not even a month passed but, the feelings that I will never forget float out like a rotating lantern-----------------

“-------------!!”

Inside there was a possibility--------------I found out the technique how the {{Furigana|Thunder god’s strike|Mjolnir}} can hit, and i was shook by a shock as if I was struck by a lightning bolt.

(That’s right, <<Duo>>…………..this is it……!)

Although it could be called a possibility, it might be in the level to be called a miracle.

But, right now I have to believe in this or else there is no other way to survive.

Yes, this is a road that can only be opened by ''believing''.

However, before this could be reached, there is something I have to do no matter what.

(For that…………!)

“uh Seriously…………now my clothes are dirty, damn it”

In front of my sights, there was a shadow standing up while cursing.

---I knew this but, as expected there was no damage.

Looking at Tsukimi, Yurie pressed on her wounds to try to get up but------

“Yurie, please rest here quietly. I will fight by myself from here”

“Tooru…………?”

“I will definitely protect you, Yurie”

“Kuh, Kuahahahaha! Are you retarded. Even though you were suppressed in 2 vs 1, now of all things, you say by yourself? You say protect? Are you seriously saying that?”

“Aah, I am serious. I will defeat you alone and protect Yurie!!”

“Tooru, it is impossible to do it alone……..! I will also…..!!”

“…………Yurie. I am happy for those feelings but, right now please follow what I say”

“B-but……….”

I faced my back to Yurie who was perplexed from my words and stared at Tsukimi.

“Okay come! Your evil blade, I will stop it!!”

“Kuhah, you will regret the more you bark, <<Irregular>>. Since you said it like that, I will leave you half-dead. And then----------“

The tip of her blade was pointing to me at first, and then it was pointing at Yurie next.

“I will kill that silver head in front of you who can’t move! And for last, you will die while grieving on how powerless you are, from your words!!”

At the same time with her roar, Tsukimi attacked.

However, no matter how many times she made sharp blade flashes, I blocked all of it with my <<Shield>>.

(I won’t let you……………! I will never let anyone else become like Otoha!!)

Burden and tired, my body felt heavy like lead but, the feeling of protecting Yurie, the oath made my concentration to its limit and was moving my body.

But that was not all.

In the place I am standing-----------thanks to the place of the corner of the classroom, the sword slash path which was hard to see through until now was limited to the forward direction and made it easier to read.

On top of that, since Tsukimi was keeping her powers in check in order to leave me half-dead, each step in from each attack turned shallow, and became lighter.

“Don’t persevere!!”

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Gakiin*!! The <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>> violently hit on the <<Shield>> and I came face to face with Tsukimi.

“What’s wrong, didn’t you say you were going to make me regret? At the very least, show me if you can make at least one scratch on this <<Shield>>”

“You sure piss me off, oi………….i changed my thoughts. As expected I should start killing you first <<Irregular>>!! I will slice that prided <<Shield>> of yours together with you!!”

Tsukimi’s irritated attitude was exposed and she empty some distance before preparing her sword above her head.

The expanding pressure shook the atmosphere and *Chiri**Chiri* the blood lust was stabbing my skin.

A full power strike is coming.

Just like her words, in order to slice through this <<Shield>> together with taking my life away. But------

“''I was waiting for this time, for this time to be able to read your breathing pattern''”

Without looking away from her, I whispered to Yurie with a soft voice.

“But, it is impossible for me alone from this point onwards……………but, I believe I can do it with it is two people”

“Tooru………….?”

Hearing my words, Yurie made a doubtful face.

“We are twin blades tied together with a bond so, we will definitely……….!!”

“What are you blabbering about over there? Since that is your farewells to this world, how about you make a love confession with a loud voice for last, like I LOVE YOU! Kuhahahahaha!!”

Towards Tsukimi who was giving out a disgusting laugh, I felt ''thankful'' for the first time.

“Then, I guess I will engulf myself in your words then”

“Aaah?”

I took a deep breath------and shouted

“{{Furigana|Love|Ai}}<ref group ="1g">A word play. Ai sounds like "I" but also has the meaning of love.</ref> to-------Yurie!!”

“To-Tooru……..!?”

“Kua-------ahaahahaha!! This guy seriously confessed!!”

Ignoring Tsukimi, I once again shouted.

“I will------''Tou''!!”

“-------------!”

Yurie gasped-------that was the last instant, and was the start.

“This is thanks for the laugh!! I will slash both of you togetherr!!”

Tsukimi announced that while pointing the sword at me-------and jumped in.

The cold steel was swung down in a slightly further distance than me.

“Diiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!”

Even if I block this, {{Furigana|Thunder god’s strike|Mjolnir}} will only cut through the air like last time. But--------

(Now……….!!)

Believing in everything, I pulled my fist back like shooting an arrow.

“Yurie--------------!!”

“Whaa!?”

<nowiki>*</nowiki>GIkiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnn*!! The violent weapon echoed throughout--------and Tsukimi’s face distorted in shock.

''An unsuitable clear *Chirin* sound of a bell was in front of her in this place.''

That’s because Yurie stepped into Tsukimi’s chest area, and blocked her <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>>.

“Why……….are you………silver headdddd!!”

A small chance was born from her shock.

And in this moment, this very instant, it is the last chance of winning-----------the opened path of possibility that could be called miracle.

“The one ending-----is you!!”

“Kuhahahahah, too bad! you’re far!!”

“I am not-----far!!”

Suddenly pulling her body, Tsukimi was certainly slightly distant from me.

But that was, ''if I was aiming for Tsukimi’s body''.

“Pierce through----------------!!”

My fist rapidly cut through the air.

The {{Furigana|Thunder god’s strike|Mjolnir}} released beyond my limits-----seized the <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>>, piercing through it and was smashed.

“Guh…………uu……..”

“Please don’t force yourself, Tooru”

“A-aah………..i didn’t plan on forcing myself though…………….”

“It is not good to act tough. Please take care of your body more”

“I know. Thank you for worrying about me, Yurie”

“Ya---. You are welcome………….okay, I will be going to take a bath now”

“Aah, take your time”

Nodding, Yurie walked towards the dressing room while dragging her leg--------she turned around half-way.

“No peeking okay, Tooru”

“Yu-Yurie”

“It’s a joke”

Towards me who was making a bitter face from the bitter memories, Yurie made a small smile and disappeared into the dressing room.

(Seriously……..even though it is tough for herself too……..)

While feeling painful looking at her dragging her legs, I vividly remembered the ----------<<{{Furigana|New blade battle|Newcomer battle}}>>.

3 days have passed after that day------entering the world’s GW, and Kouryou academy was not an exception so we entered the long-term holiday. Even though we finally had consecutive holidays, we did not go outside anywhere and passed a majority of time inside the room.

……………rather, we had no choice but to take a rest.

Although the <<Exceed>>‘s regenerative abilities are several times better than an ordinary person, my body was still creaking and I could not move properly.

It means the number of {{Furigana|Thunder god’s strike|Mjolnir}} which was released over my limits was, that much of a burden to my body.

It looks like Yurie could finally walk but, luckily her wounds would not leave any after-effects.

Tora and Tatsu managed to escape death, and it looks like they won’t be coming out from the medical treatment building during GW.

(Even so, it’s amazing we managed won against that annoying opponent………)

Looking back at the fight with Tsukimi, I seriously thought that.

In order to gain victory, it was essential to pile several conditions on each other.

One is to make an attack that will definitely kill me.

Fighting alone, by telling her to stay quiet, she will be conscious about Yurie being out of battle potential, and be very conscious of me blocking with my <<Shield>>.

Also, the breathing and {{Furigana|Ai|I}}--------telling these two words, to make her notice my aim.

If I know a big swing is coming, reading her breathing will be easy.

Yurie who suffered injuries enter her chest area, and somehow managed to block the attack since she was closer to the opponent’s fulcrum making the attack power drop.

Next was to break the <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>>----------the <<Blaze>> manifested by the soul.

Having her <<Soul>> broken, Tsukimi was restrained by Mikuni-sensei who came running after Miyabi and Tachibana contacted the Academy side, when they came to see us since we weren’t really coming back.

After that, I don’t know what happened to Tsukimi.

(What kind of goal did she had…………?)

It seems the academy side doesn’t plan on telling us about it.

From Mikuni-Sensei who was present during Tsukimi’s restraining, he made sure we won’t tell anyone about this matter and mark the end of this matter.
(It was in an unsatisfying way but, it is one matter down just in case………….)

I drank up the lukewarm apple tea and lean close to the wall.

Since it was annoying I could not move my creaking body so, it looks like today will also be another day only watching television---------and it was on that time when I thought that.

“Tooru”

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Hyokooto* Yurie brought her face out from the dressing room. And water droplets were still dropping from her hair.

Incidentally I could almost see her small shoulders, thin arms, and also her chest looked so I averted my sights in panic.

“Wha-what’s wrong?”

“I am very sorry about this but, could you please take the towel for me”

“Towel…………?”

“Ya----.i forgot to bring it with me. It is in the 2nd drawer from the top of my clothing case, so please”

“A-aah. I get it……………..”

After nodding, I opened Yurie’s clothing case and peeked inside.

(Uuh, I look like a pervert………………)

Even though I was asked to do so, I can’t let anyone see me searching through a girls’ clothing case.

(Towel………….is this it. It is in the place like she said but-------)

It’s true the towel was in the second drawer.

It was beside ''oddly folded cloths''.

While thinking I should not be looking at it, whether it is something with a lot of frills attached to it or there was a lot of white, I have accidentally found out something that was better off with me not knowing about it.

“So-sorry for the wait………….”

“Sorry to make you force yourself, Tooru”

After I brought the towel to the dressing room with my creaking body, Yurie extended her hands out with her body barely coming out just like just now.
Even though the situation was only a situation and it can’t be helped, because her skin color ratio was too high than usual I had trouble looking for a place to look…………and in that moment I thought that.

“Uuh………….!”

A painful voice was let out.

When extending her hand, she probably put her body weight on her injured leg unconsciously.

She then fell forward from unable to support her body--------and Yurie came out in the state when she was born.

“Bu!? Yu-Yurie!!”

I suddenly catch her but-----------since I was unable to put any strength into my legs, we fell to the floor just like that.

“Ouchouchouch…………”

My eyes were sparkling since I hit the back of my head.

(Uh………I-isn’t this………….)

After my sights gradually turned back to normal, I understood that the situation has turned into something unbelievable.

The fact of right now, I was hugging a naked girl.

{{Furigana|Silver hair|Silver Blonde}}, {{Furigana|red eyes|Ruby eyes}}, {{Furigana|white skin|Snow white}}---------

All of that perfectly joined together and this girl looked as if she was a delicately manufactured doll.

She was unlike a human; I would believe if I was told she was an Angel.

“To-Tooru……………”

Her face was closer than ever before.

Yurie’s cheeks were slightly red.

That redness---------that embarrassment was the proof that this girl is a human with warmth and not a doll nor an angel.

“Yurie……….errr………..”

During this time, I had no idea what I was about to say.

It was because I could not say any further than that.

That’s because------

“Kokonoe.I brought fomentation over. And bandages for Yurie too”

“To-Tooru-kun, Yurie-chan, hello…………….”

Turning into something troubling, the girls we became acquainted with entered the room.

[Ko-Kokonoe………….][To-Tooru-kun]

Seeing that the naked girl----------Yurie was being hug closely by me, both of their faces stiffened.

“Ko-koko-Kokonoe! Wha-wha-what kind of shameless thi-thing are you!! Making YuYu-Yurie naked, what on earth, what are you, what are you doing--------------!?”

“N-no, this is a misunderstanding…………….!!”

“Yo-your shamelessness knows no bounds!! Miyabi! Don’t keep quite there and say something!!”

Contrastive to Tachibana’s angry shouting, Miyabi softly muttered ''only one word''.

“<<Blaze>>……………….”

The <<Flame>> danced from the <<Word that carried strength>>, and the <<{{Furigana|Chivalry lance|Lance}}>> appeared in Miyabi’s hands-------

“Wai, a sec, Miyabi!? Yu-Yurie! Explain how this got this way---------“

“Tooru-kun you………………Pervert--------------------------!!”

Like this, a small commotion occurred for last and the curtains of the <<{{Furigana|New blade battle|Newcomer battle}}>> finally closed.

===Part 2===

“-------that’s all for the <<{{Furigana|New blade battle|Newcomer battle}}>> recording”

About the time Tsukimi Rito <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>> destroyed by Tooru, and collapsing a male------Mikuni stopped the video.

“Kuhah. Going to the extent of showing the video, even though it was not done cynically, isn’t my result report enough—“

The one using abusive language was Rito who was just shown fighting with Tooru in the video.

“A picture is worth a thousand words, it’s something like that. And more importantly your report was too rough”

“Yeah Yeah. Sorry bout that”

Completely calm, Towards Rito who was swinging her rabbit ears, Mikuni swing his head mix with a sigh.

“But even so, to think you seriously went to kill………if anything happens by any chance, what were you planning to do”

“……………I don’t mind. It was me who told her to leave it to her decision on the spot”

After the owner of the person opened her mouth for the first time, Mikuni and Rito directed their sights to her.

Sitting further up, there was a girl wearing a gothic dress around her-------it was Tsukumo Sakuya, Kouryou academy’s director.

“When a seed bud in a harsh environment, it is only then when it will bloom to a beautiful flower, it is what I think”

Before the <<New blade battle(Newcomer battle)>>, Rito made a smile when she was told that things would be left to her and killing might be okay depending on her. During that time, having said every single word Sakuya said without changing any of it, Mikuni lowered his head in apology before, returning back to the previous topic of the video.

“However, this is a surprise. To think a person that could drive a <<{{Furigana|III|Level 3}}>> away appeared ''again''…………”

It was not surprising for Mikuni to surprised.

Normally, a person’s ability will be enhanced several times after going up one <<Level>>.

Therefore, if there are 2 ranks different, it would be a hopeless difference in strength even though it is against 2.

That is why, even though there are various factors involved, it was a lucky result for Tooru and Yurie who is <<{{Furigana|I|Level 1}}>> to defeat Rito who is <<{{Furigana|III|Level 3}}>>.

“…………seriously, I never thought they would practice something that was just thought out recently. It’s amazing he can make a calm decision in that situation”

“Oya, it is not like you to praise the opponent who defeated you”

“There are times that even I would praise”

While making a sarcastic smile, Rito threw her legs and sat on the sofa.

“Aren’t you in a very good mood. Perhaps you took a liking to him?”

“Kuhah, don’t spout crap--------is what I wanted to say but, I can’t deny that…………well, if you say I am interested in him then you are much more than me, Ojou-sama<ref group ="1g">My lady</ref>”

Those words,

“Fufu, it is only natural to be interested in him since he is someone with related to <<Him>>”

“''That guy'', huh…………….”

Hearing one sentence from Sakuya, Mikuni and Tsukimi raised their eyebrows slightly together.

“…………well then, my job is done with this but-------what should I do from now on?”

“As you like. Rito, do as you wish………….”

“As I like Nee~……….Kuhah, if that is the case----------I guess I’ll go on like this”

“I understand”

“………………is that okay? if Tsukimi is left behind, then there is a possibility our connections with her will be discovered by them--------“

“The reason doesn’t matter. They have no skills so confirm this, Mikuni”

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Kusu**Kusu* Sakuya made a bewitching giggle.

Towards that smile, that decision, Mikuni nodded knowing any further views would not be forgiven.

“Then, as you wish”

Not long later, there was only one presence left inside the room filled with quietness.

Inside the darkness, the remaining girl was sinking her body deeply into a luxurious chair.

After a long silence, Sakuya slightly lifted the corners of her mouth.

Enlightened everything was starting to move, inside that she felt a certain thing in her seat.

“It is the start of the party…………..”

On how that party’s demise is concluded, she does not know for Sakuya ''is not God''.

Even is her who stands in the {{Furigana|forbidden|God’s}} realm for manipulating human genetics.

As long as they are humans, they will not know the future.

Therefore the black dress girl muttered.

“I pray, that our paths would reach the <<Absolute Duo>>”

Kurumi:

==Chapter 7 『{{Furigana|Ai(Love)|Eins(One)}} To Yurie』==

===Part 1===

“Tooru. That voice was…………..!!”

“Miyabi, stay here! I leave Tachibana to you!”

“U-un! H-how about Tooru-kun………….!?”

“We---------“

“Let’s go, Tooru”

When Yurie faced her sights towards me, she nodded back probably knowing my intentions.

“Aah, let’s go Yurie!”

“B-be careful Tooru-kun, Yurie-chan!”

With Miyabi’s worried voice coming from behind, towards the direction of the voice-------we climbed up stairs.

(What is this uneasiness……………!)

It’s the same like ''that day''.

Same like that day with the dojo wrapped in flames, an indescribable nasty premonition was swirling in the depths of my heart.

(What did…………..wasn’t this just a normal practice match?)

It’s true that, in case of getting attacked by a <<Blaze>>, an instantaneous pain would be produced.

But in the very end it was for an instant, what’s more it should be slightly pain, and not be something strong enough to cause a shout.

When we reached to the highest floor, there was a shadow standing in the middle of the corridor---------a silhouette of a characteristic rabbit ears was there.

In front of the sights of that shadow, I shouted the name of my friends lying down beside the wall.

“Tora--------!!”

“Kokonoe-kun………..!”

From our shout Tsukimi-sensei who was standing still in front of Tora, turned over to us with a shocked face.

“Tsukimi-sensei! What on earth happened!?”

“I-I don’t know, I just came here too!”

“Tooru. Tora and the rest has bad injuries”

When I approached closer to Tora after being called by Yurie, there was a pool of blood spreading under his feet.

From what we could see, he looks like he was cut by a sharp edged tool, and suffered serious injuries in several parts.

Nearby him, his partner Tatsu also suffered serious injuries just like him. And was unconscious.

“This side also has the same injuries”

“Looks like it. Anyway, we have to bring them to the first-aid room quickly………!”

“It’s okay--. Now that we are here, we can immediately contact the rescue team”

“Is that so. Thank you very much, Tsukimi-sensei”

“Uun, it is my job anyway…….more importantly, this injuries------“

After she started performing first-aid on Tora and Tatsu, Tsukimi-sense’s expression turned cloudy.

“Is there something wrong?”

“Un. It is just a possibility but………''is this something caused from the <<Blaze>>''……..”

“<<Blaze>> you say………?”

It’s true that, to hurt Tora and Tatsu who <<Exceed>> s like this, needs the same-------no, needs a power more than that or else it would be difficult.
Inspecting like this, the possibility of the opponent is a <<Exceed>> is very high but--------

There was only one thing I couldn’t comprehend.

“Wasn’t <<Blaze>> ''a weapon that could not injure a person''?”

Yes, that was it. My question was exactly what Yurie said.

“Tha-that’s----------“

Hesitating to say, Tsukimi-sensei was having worries whether is it alright to tell us--------it was that response.

“Sensei, please tell us. Is this something caused from the <<Blaze>>, didn’t you just say that just now”

“That’s…………..”

“Tsukimi-sensei!”

“I-I get it, I will tell you but------this is a very important confidential secret regarding the <<Luciful>> so keep this a secret okay? ……………actually, the fact that the <<Blaze>> is a weapon that can’t hurt people, is ''a flat-out lie''”

“A lie……….!?”

“Are you saying it is a lie?”

“Just like you know, the <<Blaze>> is a weapon manifested from someone’s <<Soul>>. That’s why, it gives mental damage by meddling with that person <<Soul>>--------you understand until here right……………..did you not question this before? That ''even though the <<Blaze>> can damage walls or the ground, how come it can’t hurt a person''”

“That’s true……….”

Tachibana’s <<{{Furigana|Iron chain|Chain}}>> plowed down a tree, and Miyabi’s <<{{Furigana|Chivalry lance|Lance}}>> destroyed the walls.

“Then, why is it peoples are the only ones that haven’t been injured yet?”

“…………..that is because; all of you recognize the <<Blaze>> as a weapon that could not injure people”

“That was the first thing the director………..---------!”

“……………that means, those words were the safety lock placed on us”

“Un, that is right. It is needed to know the truth in order to open the lock. But, it is impossible to hurt someone with a <<Blaze>> with only that. There is one more, an important thing needed. That is--------“

Making a strict expression that has not been seen until now, Tsukimi-sensei put the <<Blaze>>’s hidden truth in her mouth.

“''To put in killing intent''”

“---------!!”

“Hostility, malice………..strong intentions of hurting people will turn it into a lethal weapon. With just one way put into the heart, it is a weapon that could easily tack away someone’s life-------and that is the <<Blaze>>…………ah, just like what I said, this is a highly classified information so the special lecture ends here, I am counting on you”

“I understand”

(To think the <<Blaze>> had this kind of secret hidden……….no, right now-----)

I moved my sights from sensei to Tora, and looked at his condition.

Although first-aid was done, thinking about the large amount of bleeding, it would be bad if this goes on.

“The rescue team is late……..”

Judging from the time Tsukimi-sensei contacted them, it is not weird for them to be running over here anytime by now ……….

“The rescue team isn’t coming”

“Ehh?”

When I looked behind, Tsukimi-sensei was looking down on me while making a smile-------

And before I knew it, she was holding the silhouette of a fiendish looking <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>>.

“That-- is-- why--, I said the rescue group isn’t coming……..!”

“What, do you mean………?”

With her tone changed, I somehow managed to ask her while feeling surprised from the change of her atmosphere.

“I said the special lecture ended right”

Tsukimi-sensei lifted the sides of her mouth.

That was a joyful smile-----------------but a smile filled with evil intent.

Immediately right after, the cold steel was swung down.

The drawn trail, felt frightfully slow--------

“Tooru!!”

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Gikiin*!! With the sound of metal clashing, the time started flowing back to normal.

“Tora……….!!”

With his consciousness back, Tora threw his <<{{Furigana|Symbolic short sword|Katar}}>>, and bounced back the <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>> being swung down towards me.

“Fu,un………..Get away fast, you idiot………..thi,s fella…………is a monster…………”

“What do you mean Monster………?”

For Tora who usually is filled with confidence to say that, Tsukimi-sensei should be quite a strong user.

“Seriously, disturbing me when you just escaped death…………….i should have quickly finished you off instead of playing around”

“Kill…………….Tsukimi-sensei! Why!? Why are you doing this!!”

“Hnn--, before I answer that question……….i will give you one more special lecture as a service♥”

In an instant, her usual tone returned and she swing the <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>> up------and cut the <<{{Furigana|Symbolic short sword|Katar}}>> in half.

“Guh,AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!”

Immediately, Tora raised a shout and with the same time with his voice interrupted, he powerlessly collapsed to the floor.

That figure made me have a flashback of my sister-----Otoha.

“You bastard, what did you do-------------!!”

I draw back my fist like shooting an arrow, and released a single strike from the anger.

---but, it hit empty space and the wall behind was destroyed.

“Kuhah. That’s one heck of a power from that <<Level>>. …………..well, it doesn’t mean anything unless it hits though”

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Kuku* looking at Tsukimi-sensei making a ridiculing smile, my back muscles became cold.

Monster--------It took an instant for me to understand the reason why Tora said that.

Tsukimi-sensei who was supposed to be standing in front of me, made a distance of more than 10 meters in the slight instant she evaded my attack.

“Special lecture number 2. When the <<Blaze>> is destroyed, that person will be unconscious and won’t wake up for at least a whole day so be careful♪l. Well if that is all we get when having the <<Soul>> be destroyed, it is something that I cannot ask for more☆------Okay then, regarding why I am doing this”

She cut her words temporarily and replaced back the atmosphere around her.

“It’s work, its work. It’s a simple job of cleaning promising looking new students”

“You say, work……….? Don’t say something ridiculous!! Killing people as a job-------“

“Remember this, you brat. Any adults can kill if it is a job. The only difference is the killing method, either directly or indirectly”

“……………if this is a job that means, this isn’t your arbitrary then”

Even when Yurie asked, Tsukimi made a light smile and swung her head.

“That goes against the duty of confidentially so I can’t answer. …………well then, it’s about time we end our little talk. As special service, I’ll kill you bastards first before these bastards……………however, if either one of you bastards run away then------------“

“Who the hell will run away!!”

I grind my teeth, clenched my fist, and answered.

That scenery---------I never want to see someone die again.

“I won’t let anyone die in front of me anymore!! Never!!”

“……………same here, Tooru. I won’t let anyone die in front of me…………!”

Yurie nodded and stand beside me.

“Kuhah, mere <<{{Furigana|I|Level 1}}>>’s barking like that………..”

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Kukuku* while laughing, Tsukimi-sensei----------no, Tsukimi expanded the killing intent being she was releasing.

“Well then let’s start!! Entertain me even if it last for one minute once second!!”

Signaling with her shout, Tsukimi kicked the ground and charged-------

“Uh!?”

Her figure suddenly disappeared and I doubted my eyes.

“Up!”

“Wha!?”

It was exactly in that moment I raised my sights from hearing Yurie’s voice, Tsukimi kicked the ceiling.

My reaction was one moment late from those unexpected movements.

“Tooru!!”

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Gyariiin*! The <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>> aimed at me, was ward off by Yurie this time, protecting me.

She landed on the ground without losing her balance and Tsukimi released a second attack by making a side sweep.

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Gakyaaan*! The sound of metal violently clashing echoed.

This time, even though I used my <<Shield>> to block-------------

“Uaaaaaaaah!!”

She then swung down with all her strength like that and I was blown away.

“Tooru, are you okay…………!?”

“Aah, I am okay………….but, what power………”

The moment when I thought I completely blocked her, I was then pushed back.

The movement she showed before was frighteningly fast, and her power surpasses mine while her speed surpasses Yurie’s.

Her abilities that she showed during the physical ability enhancement training were only just a portion of it.

“Kuhaha, I’m glad I’m glad. From not ending just from that”

While making a fun smile, she made a sharp and heavy attack with a breathtaking speed.

“Kuh……………!!”

Even though I kept on barely protecting myself, it was a one sided defensive battle and the situation will certainly get gradually bad if this keeps up.

---if it is one person.

“I won’t let you. I will be troubled if you forgotten about me”

Yurie went behind Tsukimi and made a side sweep with her sword--------

But, Tsukimi repelled it with her <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>> without looking back.

“On top of it being 2 going against 1, I can’t really praise you for attacking from behind, silver head”

“I don’t think it is unfair if the opponent is in a much higher class”

“Same thoughts here!”

In no time, I attacked.

Although her carefree smile did not break, as expected even Tsukimi had no choice but to go defensive from the cooperative offence.

“Oooto, this is fun, this is fun”

2 vs 1. Even though we performed quite a number of hits, we couldn't land something that could be called a final hit.

………….but, the moment when Tsukimi slightly stopped her legs when blocking Yurie’s attack.

(Over here!!)

That very instant, I clenched my fist hard and stepped into the most important and also the final chance of winning.

“Hiiiiitttttt!!”

Right now once more, I pulled my fist back like shooting an arrow, and the 2nd time of the strike I can shoot daily------- {{Furigana|Thunder god’s strike|Mjolnir}}-------was released.

My muscle and bone creaked. If this doesn’t hit, then I would probably be powerless.

But----------------it was slightly far away.

Although it is cruel, my fist only scratched Tsukimi’s clothes.

“Kuhahahaha. Y.o.u m.i.s.s! The distance was just a little off!”

Just a few centimeters, but that made a big difference in the distinguishing victory.

I became impatient from the winning chance I saw for an instant and slightly failed in judging the distance.

“Damn, it………….!”

“Well then, it’s my turn next, <<Irregular>>!!”

“I already told you I won’t let you…………..!!”

Towards Tsukimi holding the <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>> aloft, even though Yurie once again force her way through using combination hits, Tsukimi took back steps to avoid.

However the flow did not stop there.

Although Tsukimi once again went on the defensive from Yurie’s specialty charging combination hits, she could not get rid of the carefree smile from her face.

Not long later, the moment the flow was interrupted-----

The corner of the joyful smile Tsukimi was making lifted further up.

“Kukuh, this time for sure, let’s go with my turn then!”

Although it is just one sword, she is not inferior at all to Yurie’s combination attacks------no, it was an evil blade storm even faster.

Completely turning defensive, Yurie somehow manages to block but, she was retreating little by little.

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Gyariin*! The nasty sound of metal clashing echoed and Yurie lost her balance.

A straight attack was done there. Even though it was hard, Yurie managed to block but couldn’t kill off Tsukimi’s physical strength and get blown away just like that.

“Yurie----------!!”

Raising a shot and not caring about my body, I jumped at Yurie and to catch her.

But, I was pushed away by the strong blow and after a flashy sound echoed, the classroom door was broken through and we showily charged into the tables scattering all around.

“Uh,kuh…………..!! Yurie, are you okay!?”

“Ya----. Thanks to you……..but even so, it was an unbelievable strength. Its expected from someone selected to be a special teacher here”

It would seem she wasn’t injured, and I made a sigh of relief.

---but, after I immediately re-brace myself, I made a bitter decision and said it.

“Yurie, take Tora and the rest with you and run away”

“Tooru?”

“I will buy some time. That’s why Yurie, after you move Tora and Tatsu to a safer place, call Mikuni-sensei for help-----“

The moment I said until there, Yurie used her index finger and touched my lips before swinging her head.

“Nai, I refuse. You won’t last 5 minutes with that body”

“……..You saw through it huh”

“You said {{Furigana|Thunder god’s strike|Mjolnir}} causes quite a burden in the body. And just now, Tooru said this. ''I won’t let anyone die in front of me anymore''. And I said this. ''I won’t let anyone die in front of me''. so-------“

Yurie directed her {{Furigana|red eyes|Ruby eyes}} towards the nearby entrance.

“I won’t run”

The sun completely fallen and a bunny ear silhouette entered the dim classroom.

“Well then, it’s about time we end this”

“……………you can end it if you want but, what are you planning after killing us? Isn’t time the only problem for the academy side to notice?”

“No need to worry, I won’t do something that will expose me. Even if I am exposed, a school is a place where if a problem occurs, the will use their power to cover it up instead of investigation for the cause……….okay, now that my question is cleared, it is my turn to ask questions too”

[[File:Absolute Duo Volume 1 Non-Colour 9.jpg|thumb]]

Tsukimi crawls her tongue on the blade and made a light smile.

“Which one of you wants to die first?”

The small light illuminating the dark classroom reflected the blade.

It looked an ominous light but, we were not afraid and replied back almost at the same time.

[Yurie I will--------][Tooru I will--------]

“”Protect you!!””

“Kuhah, even though it isn’t long, as expected from a <<Duo>>? Or is it a Hollywood suitable male female relationship has been made?……………….well whatever is okay I guess. There is no difference since both of you are going to die anywayy!!”

Tsukimi swung down making a sword flash, and I blocked it.

Although Yurie attacked at that moment, Tsukimi was already not there------------ she kicked the wall, floor, ceiling, using movements transcending humans befitting the name of <<Exceed>> and, she was toying with you.

I and Yurie faced our backs together, and we continued protecting each other from the attacking evil blade from all directions but, scratches gradually increased, and we became disadvantageous.

(Damn, she is just toying with us…………!)

My stamina was depleting, and after one step and another, defeat-------- the reality of death is getting closer.

“------------!!”

Yurie failed in blocking and fresh blood was scattered out from her {{Furigana|white skin|Snow white}}.

In the next instant, her small chin was kicked, and Yurie was send flying to the corner of the room.

“Yurie---------!!”

At the same time I shouted, i grabbed a nearby table and swing it.

As expected even Tsukimi can’t dodge this and was send flying the opposite side of where Yurie was.

“Are you okay, Yurie!?”

“--------!! I am, okay…………”

When I ran over, Yurie distorted her face in pain.

Coming from the wound running along her thighs, blood was ceaselessly flowing out.

To Yurie who has that speed as her asset, it could be said it is the same with her strongest weapon killed off.

However, since the situation was getting even hopeless, it conversely made me serious.

I clenched my fist. For the strongest attack I have.

It was strange enough whether if I can release the 3rd shot which crosses my limits.

But if I can’t release it, we’ll die.

Not only me, but also my friends, and even the girl in my arms.

(I will definitely……………protect them!!)

I have to release it, and precisely end this.

It doesn’t mean anything unless it hits……………Tsukimi said this.

(Then I have to think of a way to hit!)

“Too…………..ru……………..”

In that hopeless situation, Yurie called me weakly.

“Sorry. If you didn’t become my <<Duo>> you wouldn’t have to go through this………….”

“Nai, there is no such thing………………I was very happy when Tooru brought his hands out to me. Although it was not long but, whether it was drinking apple tea or, the time we have matches or, the time we watched tv together, It was very enjoyable so……………that’s why, please do not say that”

“Yurie………………….”

Hearing the silver girl words, even though not even a month passed but, the feelings that I will never forget float out like a rotating lantern-----------------

“-------------!!”

Inside there was a possibility--------------I found out the technique how the {{Furigana|Thunder god’s strike|Mjolnir}} can hit, and i was shook by a shock as if I was struck by a lightning bolt.

(That’s right, <<Duo>>…………..this is it……!)

Although it could be called a possibility, it might be in the level to be called a miracle.

But, right now I have to believe in this or else there is no other way to survive.

Yes, this is a road that can only be opened by ''believing''.

However, before this could be reached, there is something I have to do no matter what.

(For that…………!)

“uh Seriously…………now my clothes are dirty, damn it”

In front of my sights, there was a shadow standing up while cursing.

---I knew this but, as expected there was no damage.

Looking at Tsukimi, Yurie pressed on her wounds to try to get up but------

“Yurie, please rest here quietly. I will fight by myself from here”

“Tooru…………?”

“I will definitely protect you, Yurie”

“Kuh, Kuahahahaha! Are you retarded. Even though you were suppressed in 2 vs 1, now of all things, you say by yourself? You say protect? Are you seriously saying that?”

“Aah, I am serious. I will defeat you alone and protect Yurie!!”

“Tooru, it is impossible to do it alone……..! I will also…..!!”

“…………Yurie. I am happy for those feelings but, right now please follow what I say”

“B-but……….”

I faced my back to Yurie who was perplexed from my words and stared at Tsukimi.

“Okay come! Your evil blade, I will stop it!!”

“Kuhah, you will regret the more you bark, <<Irregular>>. Since you said it like that, I will leave you half-dead. And then----------“

The tip of her blade was pointing to me at first, and then it was pointing at Yurie next.

“I will kill that silver head in front of you who can’t move! And for last, you will die while grieving on how powerless you are, from your words!!”

At the same time with her roar, Tsukimi attacked.

However, no matter how many times she made sharp blade flashes, I blocked all of it with my <<Shield>>.

(I won’t let you……………! I will never let anyone else become like Otoha!!)

Burden and tired, my body felt heavy like lead but, the feeling of protecting Yurie, the oath made my concentration to its limit and was moving my body.

But that was not all.

In the place I am standing-----------thanks to the place of the corner of the classroom, the sword slash path which was hard to see through until now was limited to the forward direction and made it easier to read.

On top of that, since Tsukimi was keeping her powers in check in order to leave me half-dead, each step in from each attack turned shallow, and became lighter.

“Don’t persevere!!”

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Gakiin*!! The <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>> violently hit on the <<Shield>> and I came face to face with Tsukimi.

“What’s wrong, didn’t you say you were going to make me regret? At the very least, show me if you can make at least one scratch on this <<Shield>>”

“You sure piss me off, oi………….i changed my thoughts. As expected I should start killing you first <<Irregular>>!! I will slice that prided <<Shield>> of yours together with you!!”

Tsukimi’s irritated attitude was exposed and she empty some distance before preparing her sword above her head.

The expanding pressure shook the atmosphere and *Chiri**Chiri* the blood lust was stabbing my skin.

A full power strike is coming.

Just like her words, in order to slice through this <<Shield>> together with taking my life away. But------

“''I was waiting for this time, for this time to be able to read your breathing pattern''”

Without looking away from her, I whispered to Yurie with a soft voice.

“But, it is impossible for me alone from this point onwards……………but, I believe I can do it with it is two people”

“Tooru………….?”

Hearing my words, Yurie made a doubtful face.

“We are twin blades tied together with a bond so, we will definitely……….!!”

“What are you blabbering about over there? Since that is your farewells to this world, how about you make a love confession with a loud voice for last, like I LOVE YOU! Kuhahahahaha!!”

Towards Tsukimi who was giving out a disgusting laugh, I felt ''thankful'' for the first time.

“Then, I guess I will engulf myself in your words then”

“Aaah?”

I took a deep breath------and shouted

“{{Furigana|Love|Ai}}<ref group ="1g">A word play. Ai sounds like "I" but also has the meaning of love.</ref> to-------Yurie!!”

“To-Tooru……..!?”

“Kua-------ahaahahaha!! This guy seriously confessed!!”

Ignoring Tsukimi, I once again shouted.

“I will------''Tou''!!”

“-------------!”

Yurie gasped-------that was the last instant, and was the start.

“This is thanks for the laugh!! I will slash both of you togetherr!!”

Tsukimi announced that while pointing the sword at me-------and jumped in.

The cold steel was swung down in a slightly further distance than me.

“Diiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!”

Even if I block this, {{Furigana|Thunder god’s strike|Mjolnir}} will only cut through the air like last time. But--------

(Now……….!!)

Believing in everything, I pulled my fist back like shooting an arrow.

“Yurie--------------!!”

“Whaa!?”

<nowiki>*</nowiki>GIkiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnn*!! The violent weapon echoed throughout--------and Tsukimi’s face distorted in shock.

''An unsuitable clear *Chirin* sound of a bell was in front of her in this place.''

That’s because Yurie stepped into Tsukimi’s chest area, and blocked her <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>>.

“Why……….are you………silver headdddd!!”

A small chance was born from her shock.

And in this moment, this very instant, it is the last chance of winning-----------the opened path of possibility that could be called miracle.

“The one ending-----is you!!”

“Kuhahahahah, too bad! you’re far!!”

“I am not-----far!!”

Suddenly pulling her body, Tsukimi was certainly slightly distant from me.

But that was, ''if I was aiming for Tsukimi’s body''.

“Pierce through----------------!!”

My fist rapidly cut through the air.

The {{Furigana|Thunder god’s strike|Mjolnir}} released beyond my limits-----seized the <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>>, piercing through it and was smashed.

“Guh…………uu……..”

“Please don’t force yourself, Tooru”

“A-aah………..i didn’t plan on forcing myself though…………….”

“It is not good to act tough. Please take care of your body more”

“I know. Thank you for worrying about me, Yurie”

“Ya---. You are welcome………….okay, I will be going to take a bath now”

“Aah, take your time”

Nodding, Yurie walked towards the dressing room while dragging her leg--------she turned around half-way.

“No peeking okay, Tooru”

“Yu-Yurie”

“It’s a joke”

Towards me who was making a bitter face from the bitter memories, Yurie made a small smile and disappeared into the dressing room.

(Seriously……..even though it is tough for herself too……..)

While feeling painful looking at her dragging her legs, I vividly remembered the ----------<<{{Furigana|New blade battle|Newcomer battle}}>>.

3 days have passed after that day------entering the world’s GW, and Kouryou academy was not an exception so we entered the long-term holiday. Even though we finally had consecutive holidays, we did not go outside anywhere and passed a majority of time inside the room.

……………rather, we had no choice but to take a rest.

Although the <<Exceed>>‘s regenerative abilities are several times better than an ordinary person, my body was still creaking and I could not move properly.

It means the number of {{Furigana|Thunder god’s strike|Mjolnir}} which was released over my limits was, that much of a burden to my body.

It looks like Yurie could finally walk but, luckily her wounds would not leave any after-effects.

Tora and Tatsu managed to escape death, and it looks like they won’t be coming out from the medical treatment building during GW.

(Even so, it’s amazing we managed won against that annoying opponent………)

Looking back at the fight with Tsukimi, I seriously thought that.

In order to gain victory, it was essential to pile several conditions on each other.

One is to make an attack that will definitely kill me.

Fighting alone, by telling her to stay quiet, she will be conscious about Yurie being out of battle potential, and be very conscious of me blocking with my <<Shield>>.

Also, the breathing and {{Furigana|Ai|I}}--------telling these two words, to make her notice my aim.

If I know a big swing is coming, reading her breathing will be easy.

Yurie who suffered injuries enter her chest area, and somehow managed to block the attack since she was closer to the opponent’s fulcrum making the attack power drop.

Next was to break the <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>>----------the <<Blaze>> manifested by the soul.

Having her <<Soul>> broken, Tsukimi was restrained by Mikuni-sensei who came running after Miyabi and Tachibana contacted the Academy side, when they came to see us since we weren’t really coming back.

After that, I don’t know what happened to Tsukimi.

(What kind of goal did she had…………?)

It seems the academy side doesn’t plan on telling us about it.

From Mikuni-Sensei who was present during Tsukimi’s restraining, he made sure we won’t tell anyone about this matter and mark the end of this matter.
(It was in an unsatisfying way but, it is one matter down just in case………….)

I drank up the lukewarm apple tea and lean close to the wall.

Since it was annoying I could not move my creaking body so, it looks like today will also be another day only watching television---------and it was on that time when I thought that.

“Tooru”

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Hyokooto* Yurie brought her face out from the dressing room. And water droplets were still dropping from her hair.

Incidentally I could almost see her small shoulders, thin arms, and also her chest looked so I averted my sights in panic.

“Wha-what’s wrong?”

“I am very sorry about this but, could you please take the towel for me”

“Towel…………?”

“Ya----.i forgot to bring it with me. It is in the 2nd drawer from the top of my clothing case, so please”

“A-aah. I get it……………..”

After nodding, I opened Yurie’s clothing case and peeked inside.

(Uuh, I look like a pervert………………)

Even though I was asked to do so, I can’t let anyone see me searching through a girls’ clothing case.

(Towel………….is this it. It is in the place like she said but-------)

It’s true the towel was in the second drawer.

It was beside ''oddly folded cloths''.

While thinking I should not be looking at it, whether it is something with a lot of frills attached to it or there was a lot of white, I have accidentally found out something that was better off with me not knowing about it.

“So-sorry for the wait………….”

“Sorry to make you force yourself, Tooru”

After I brought the towel to the dressing room with my creaking body, Yurie extended her hands out with her body barely coming out just like just now.
Even though the situation was only a situation and it can’t be helped, because her skin color ratio was too high than usual I had trouble looking for a place to look…………and in that moment I thought that.

“Uuh………….!”

A painful voice was let out.

When extending her hand, she probably put her body weight on her injured leg unconsciously.

She then fell forward from unable to support her body--------and Yurie came out in the state when she was born.

“Bu!? Yu-Yurie!!”

I suddenly catch her but-----------since I was unable to put any strength into my legs, we fell to the floor just like that.

“Ouchouchouch…………”

My eyes were sparkling since I hit the back of my head.

(Uh………I-isn’t this………….)

After my sights gradually turned back to normal, I understood that the situation has turned into something unbelievable.

The fact of right now, I was hugging a naked girl.

{{Furigana|Silver hair|Silver Blonde}}, {{Furigana|red eyes|Ruby eyes}}, {{Furigana|white skin|Snow white}}---------

All of that perfectly joined together and this girl looked as if she was a delicately manufactured doll.

She was unlike a human; I would believe if I was told she was an Angel.

“To-Tooru……………”

Her face was closer than ever before.

Yurie’s cheeks were slightly red.

That redness---------that embarrassment was the proof that this girl is a human with warmth and not a doll nor an angel.

“Yurie……….errr………..”

During this time, I had no idea what I was about to say.

It was because I could not say any further than that.

That’s because------

“Kokonoe.I brought fomentation over. And bandages for Yurie too”

“To-Tooru-kun, Yurie-chan, hello…………….”

Turning into something troubling, the girls we became acquainted with entered the room.

[Ko-Kokonoe………….][To-Tooru-kun]

Seeing that the naked girl----------Yurie was being hug closely by me, both of their faces stiffened.

“Ko-koko-Kokonoe! Wha-wha-what kind of shameless thi-thing are you!! Making YuYu-Yurie naked, what on earth, what are you, what are you doing--------------!?”

“N-no, this is a misunderstanding…………….!!”

“Yo-your shamelessness knows no bounds!! Miyabi! Don’t keep quite there and say something!!”

Contrastive to Tachibana’s angry shouting, Miyabi softly muttered ''only one word''.

“<<Blaze>>……………….”

The <<Flame>> danced from the <<Word that carried strength>>, and the <<{{Furigana|Chivalry lance|Lance}}>> appeared in Miyabi’s hands-------

“Wai, a sec, Miyabi!? Yu-Yurie! Explain how this got this way---------“

“Tooru-kun you………………Pervert--------------------------!!”

Like this, a small commotion occurred for last and the curtains of the <<{{Furigana|New blade battle|Newcomer battle}}>> finally closed.

===Part 2===

“-------that’s all for the <<{{Furigana|New blade battle|Newcomer battle}}>> recording”

About the time Tsukimi Rito <<{{Furigana|Fang sword|Tebutje}}>> destroyed by Tooru, and collapsing a male------Mikuni stopped the video.

“Kuhah. Going to the extent of showing the video, even though it was not done cynically, isn’t my result report enough—“

The one using abusive language was Rito who was just shown fighting with Tooru in the video.

“A picture is worth a thousand words, it’s something like that. And more importantly your report was too rough”

“Yeah Yeah. Sorry bout that”

Completely calm, Towards Rito who was swinging her rabbit ears, Mikuni swing his head mix with a sigh.

“But even so, to think you seriously went to kill………if anything happens by any chance, what were you planning to do”

“……………I don’t mind. It was me who told her to leave it to her decision on the spot”

After the owner of the person opened her mouth for the first time, Mikuni and Rito directed their sights to her.

Sitting further up, there was a girl wearing a gothic dress around her-------it was Tsukumo Sakuya, Kouryou academy’s director.

“When a seed bud in a harsh environment, it is only then when it will bloom to a beautiful flower, it is what I think”

Before the <<New blade battle(Newcomer battle)>>, Rito made a smile when she was told that things would be left to her and killing might be okay depending on her. During that time, having said every single word Sakuya said without changing any of it, Mikuni lowered his head in apology before, returning back to the previous topic of the video.

“However, this is a surprise. To think a person that could drive a <<{{Furigana|III|Level 3}}>> away appeared ''again''…………”

It was not surprising for Mikuni to surprised.

Normally, a person’s ability will be enhanced several times after going up one <<Level>>.

Therefore, if there are 2 ranks different, it would be a hopeless difference in strength even though it is against 2.

That is why, even though there are various factors involved, it was a lucky result for Tooru and Yurie who is <<{{Furigana|I|Level 1}}>> to defeat Rito who is <<{{Furigana|III|Level 3}}>>.

“…………seriously, I never thought they would practice something that was just thought out recently. It’s amazing he can make a calm decision in that situation”

“Oya, it is not like you to praise the opponent who defeated you”

“There are times that even I would praise”

While making a sarcastic smile, Rito threw her legs and sat on the sofa.

“Aren’t you in a very good mood. Perhaps you took a liking to him?”

“Kuhah, don’t spout crap--------is what I wanted to say but, I can’t deny that…………well, if you say I am interested in him then you are much more than me, Ojou-sama<ref group ="1g">My lady</ref>”

Those words,

“Fufu, it is only natural to be interested in him since he is someone with related to <<Him>>”

“''That guy'', huh…………….”

Hearing one sentence from Sakuya, Mikuni and Tsukimi raised their eyebrows slightly together.

“…………well then, my job is done with this but-------what should I do from now on?”

“As you like. Rito, do as you wish………….”

“As I like Nee~……….Kuhah, if that is the case----------I guess I’ll go on like this”

“I understand”

“………………is that okay? if Tsukimi is left behind, then there is a possibility our connections with her will be discovered by them--------“

“The reason doesn’t matter. They have no skills so confirm this, Mikuni”

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Kusu**Kusu* Sakuya made a bewitching giggle.

Towards that smile, that decision, Mikuni nodded knowing any further views would not be forgiven.

“Then, as you wish”

Not long later, there was only one presence left inside the room filled with quietness.

Inside the darkness, the remaining girl was sinking her body deeply into a luxurious chair.

After a long silence, Sakuya slightly lifted the corners of her mouth.

Enlightened everything was starting to move, inside that she felt a certain thing in her seat.

“It is the start of the party…………..”

On how that party’s demise is concluded, she does not know for Sakuya ''is not God''.

Even is her who stands in the {{Furigana|forbidden|God’s}} realm for manipulating human genetics.

As long as they are humans, they will not know the future.

Therefore the black dress girl muttered.

“I pray, that our paths would reach the <<Absolute Duo>>”
