*'''[Luuynes]:''' 『My Lady, I have obtained permission.  Before I depart tomorrow it seems I will be able to take possession of the letters. However your friend did require some arrangements being made . Also—』

*'''[ANA]:''' 『Also, what is it?』

*'''[Luuynes]:''' 『There was also a letter from My Lady’s friend’s spouse. They were saying about doing something with the picked fruit however I took possession of only the flowers.』

*'''[ANA]:''' 『Jeez…. Everyone is being tactful of strange areas.』

*'''[Luuynes]:''' 『No, it was me who made that request. That I wanted them to be tactful.』

*'''[ANA]:''' 『……You are flawless.』

The after school activities had begun.

The students left the school grounds and headed off into their respective locations, however many went to assist in the repairs of Musashi or headed towards the location of their part time jobs.

The time when voices were exchanged, separated and once again assembled at the location where they pleased. 

The gaze which overlooked all of this was however located inside a closed room. 

From the bridge, which was as if it spanned over Musashi’s central forward vessel Musashino, there was someone who was observing everything. 

The person who had hurriedly come here after school had finished was,

“Suzu-sama…. Here you go, green tea and apple pie which was purchased from the fair below. Over.”

“T-Thank yo-u , “Musashino”.”

It was Suzu.


<center><span style="font-size: 300%;">●</span></center>


The heart of the bridge.  Even after the teacup and plate were placed on the side-table next to her chair she did not immediately reach for them.

For her who had just come here, the first thing she laid her hands on was the space which surrounded her chair.

…The imitation of Musashi and IZUMO are just about done.

In the space in front of her outstretched hands, was the surface section of Musashi as well as the surrounding geography and town, created of light. 

As Suzu sat in a chair, the model of the world scolled with the movements of her hands, and adding and removal of the three-dimensional model was conducted accordingly. 

Looking at that spectacle Musashi said,

“It appears that the modelling of Musashi has been considerably completed. Over.”  

“Umm but since it changes e-every day… I am unable to keep up.”

Particularly in this area, Suzu pointed to an area near the deck of the first right and left ship which had wide repair spots, and formed a smile.

“When something occurs again, w-will this be useful?”
Jud, the automated doll nodded her head.

“I can conclude that when we carry out instructions it will be different if we have a detailed understanding of the deck, also when we act in the support of everyday activities if there is a map which was created with a different viewpoint than the reasonable judgment of our automated dolls, it will be very helpful. It will also be helpful to the elementary school children and the other people who come here for sightseeing.  Also—, when Toori causes a problem, compared to the geographical understanding of the automated dolls, the map Suzu has created makes the “hiding places” easier to determine. —Over.”

It that right, Suzu nodded with a smile, took a breath and adjusted her seating.

After hesitating for a moment, Suzu took the teacup from the side table in both her hands and sat back in her chair.

However Suzu, who went as if to sink into the model of Musashi, then abruptly let out a small laugh.

“Whatever is the matter? —Over.”

“Jud, everyone’s after school is varied.… Look everyone.”

Suzu put the teacup up to her mouth and then as if to count the models individual locations she indicated with her right fingers. 

The fingers which indicated in order from the front lastly indicated one location.

A building at the rear of Okutama. It was the imitation of the Musashi Ariadust academy.


<center><span style="font-size: 300%;">●</span></center>


Even when it was after school, there were still the shadows of people inside Musashi Ariadust Academy. 

Among those remaining were not only the students who were part of the indoor clubs,

“So I came for this examination, however this school council room is totally not cleaned and handled quite irresponsibility. Mitotsudaira… is a member of the Chancellor's Board so you don’t use this room, right?”

Masazumi surveyed the place where she was currently standing.… This is the school buildings frontal side third floor’s student council room, huh.

You could even call this position the face of the school, however…

By all rights this room should have had quite a large floor space; however there were chairs, desks as well as other goods piled up left and right, as if to create a corridor from the door to the windows.  

This was evidence that the successive generations of the student council had not been functioning.

In front of Masazumi, who was surveying the valley of goods, was Mitotsudaira who had opened a window and then turned around with a fed up expression.

“This is more like a storeroom than a student council room; however well it is the same for those of the Chancellor's Board as well.”

“Is that so?”

Jud, while trying to avoid touching anything, Mitotsudaira shrugged her shoulders.
“The members who make up the Board use the Board room down below; however it is in the same state as here. After all, the Far East operated under the premise that there would be no emergency situations under the oppression of the Testament Union. Even after Mikawa, if something happens, it is usually settled in the classroom or cafeteria or on top of the bridge. However — why now of all times did you want to use this place, Masazumi?”

I wonder why, Masazumi looked at the objet d'art which was composed of carelessly piled up goods and desks, enough so that the ceiling on the left and right was obscured, and she let out a sigh. She folded her arms, and while once again thinking about what was going on,

“When I was appointed as the vice president, I came here to look once, yeah the Far East Student Council was after all a mere skeleton and decided to give up.”

However,

“—The classroom, the cafeteria, on top of the bridge, the courtyard or Blue Thunder, we can hold a strategy meeting anywhere. I came to realize recently that the Far East was that kind of place. However on the other hand I thought it necessary for everyone to have a place to share.”

“Then, that place which everyone could share is—”

Yeah, Masazumi shook her head downwards. Motioning towards the floor with her right hand,

"It's not that I’m suggesting we have to be here all the time. However when we can’t make contact, when we wish to save someone, when there is a time to be patient… you should come here, what I want is a place like that.”

While saying that, she remembered something that occurred at Mikawa. The feeling of being dumbfounded when she returned home on a certain day and realized that her mother was gone still remained inside her heart.

To supress her past fear, she wanted a place where people could believe that someone was there.

“I wonder why!”

Masazumi looked at the outside of the seemingly narrow window. The city of Musashi was spread out under the afternoon sky, beyond that was the edge of the dock and fields and shelterbelts, the city of IZUMO. However Masazumi gazed with sharp eyes further into the interior, the south-eastern sky and the forest and valleys of the mainland which spread out beneath IZUMO. 

“—Only one week until the repairs are complete. After that is complete, we will begin moving again in order to gain the cooperation of many countries. However this part of Europe is currently in the middle of the thirty year war. I cannot deny the possibility of sustaining damage like we did during the Armada battle. If we hold an official position when that happens there will be a large change in the civilian’s sense of security.”

“Jud, —it is also my opinion that what will occur from now on will be the true battlefield. There is also Neshinbara’s opinion that in the previous Armada Sea battle, in order to preserve their own fleet, the strategy  of Tres España was “Through the use of a small efficient force, aim for not the sinking of Musashi but the stoppage”, it was not all-out war for them.”  

Listening to Mitotsudaira’s words, Masazumi thought that she was correct.

That’s why she nodded and,

“I want to strengthen the Student Council and Chancellor’s Board. Think of it as a hidden urgent business.”

Masazumi thought after saying that. That in Mitotsudaira’s expression there was a shadow. That’s why, 

“Is there something troubling you?”

“Eh? Ah, no.”

In front of Masazumi’s eyes, Mitotsudaira lightly waved her hand from left to right. Then as if she was arranging her thoughts,

“I have to make sure to be reliable. I have to take into account my true abilities.”

“I think that Mitotsudaira is doing a fine job.”

During the crash of the cargo ship it was her who had supervised things like the night watch, the transport of supplies and the construction inside the ship. If she had not been present at that scene then there were many of Tenzou's orders which would not have functioned, this was something that anyone who was at the scene realized. However,
….Was it because Mitotsudaira was a member of the Chancellor’s Board I wonder.

There is also one’s duty as a knight. Thinking about her role during battle,

…In England she suffered a draw with Walsingham….

While on-board Musashi together with Walsingham she was unable to stop Tres España vice Chancellor Takakane Hironaka, this is what is known as the difference in strength, however,

“Even though there is always someone stronger, I sill wish to become stronger you know?”

“In that case, the path of strengthening, it would be good to search for a suitable location. If there is anything let me know. After the Armada Sea Battle, there is an understanding in the public opinion towards battle. It will make it easier to gain acceptance.”

Jud, Mitotsudaira nodded and a slight silence occurred.

Thinking that it would be bad for the silence to continue, Masazumi purposefully let out a large breath,

“Well then.”

Saying that in a distinct voice to bring Mitotsudaira to her senses, she rolled up her jacket sleeves.

“Well then, shall we do a little examining….?

“L-Let us do that. However this is….”

In front of Mitotsudaira’s half opened eyes. What was there was,

“……Ah? Right from the start, what is this mountain of mail order, ….. Huh, eroge have been placed and piled up in here!”


<center><span style="font-size: 300%;">●</span></center>


Masazumi took the brown wrapped package which was lightly covered in dust in hand. Narrowing her eyes and holding it aloft that was indeed exactly what she had thought it was. 

Good grief, after putting that as a preface Masazumi went,

“That idiot, what does he think this place is…!!”

“…..It is amazing that you have no doubts about who that belongs to, Masazumi.”
If there is some other possibility, I would like to know.

However Mitotsudaira with a testing air also took one in hand,

“However what exactly is this, on the invoice “Theban Genuine Force VS Spartan Homo army corps. Remaining 300” is resolutely written, you know? …. Furthermore not only the title but the subtitle “There are no women! Regain your sanity!” is excessive. Is his head alright?”   

“Like I would know. In any case we have to dispose of any crying games because if that idiot dies, the existence of this country will be in jeopardy. I have to clearly tell him that he should buy the next one only after he had finished clearing the current ones.”

“However, I have the feeling the Chancellor puts all the earnings from his part time job into this….”

…This when I’m already finished with just food and book expenses! A family which provides food is enviable! 

While thinking about her real motivations, she summoned her ant eater Tsukinowa as a response to situation in front of her eyes. After getting positioned on her shoulders, patting her head and rubbing cheeks, together they opened the chat,

*'''[Vice-President]:''' 『Asama, I will send you an image of the eroge that are here, if we sold them, how much would that be?』

*'''[Asama]:''' 『Umm, from the looks of it everything would be worth about 12000 yen… huh, why was I called as the appraiser!?』

She had already told me what I wanted to know. Having personnel who did not hold official positions yet were still talented was a good thing to have for the country.

“Anyhow, selling all this and only getting about 12000 yen. ….I really don’t understand males.”

“— Even though in the past you were trying to become one?” 

Having that said to her with a bitter smile, Masazumi considered her own circumstances. However she was unable to come up with a good explanation.

“I’ll correct myself, I don’t understand that idiot.”

In contrast to Mitotsudaira’s deepening bitter smile, Masazumi, feeling uncomfortable, directed her gaze at the window. Beneath her eyes was the overhead bridge in front of the 
school yard where she had done the public debate, thinking that it was around there that she had debated, 

……she had also had her trousers yanked down…..!

“Ah umm Masazumi, you seem to be upset about something? Was it what I just said?”

“Eh? Ah no, it has nothing to do with that. It was something else, from a while back”

Masazumi shifted her glance to the front. As she did, beneath the bridge, on the other side of the descending staircase lay Remorse Way,

…the port side natural area is where the park is.

After she had seen Sakai off to Mikawa and returned, it is the park path she used when going through the natural area. 

In the center there was a retreat building, a small place where there are always children playing. After that time, she had stopped by several times and spent her reading time there. It was one of the few spots inside Musashi where Masazumi could relax. 
Sooner or later, while thinking that it might be nice to have a meal or a conference at the hermitage, Masazumi rolled up her the sleeves of her jacket.

“Well, I’m not planning to do a full-scale job, but shall we see what it's like deeper inside…”

Once that is complete,

“Shall we descend to IZUMO for a break? Mitotsudaira”


<center><span style="font-size: 300%;">●</span></center>


Mitotsudaira listened to Masazumi’s question.

“There is apparently a festival happening down in IZUMO.”

With those words, Mitotsudaira experienced a moment of indecision.

…She was being considerate of my circumstances.

As a matter of fact, Hexagone Française was the homeland of Mitotsudaira, however even after receiving permission to enter IZUMO, she had not descended into IZUMO. Naturally, there was a reason she had not done so. 

The promise she had made with her mother.

That’s why; even though many people, including her friends, were descending to take a break, she herself did not go.
It seems like Masazumi had realized that fact. Consequently, 

…That she didn’t ask why I do not go but instead invited me to go with her was—.

This was her way of being considerate due to the short friendship that existed.

Everyone in her surroundings already knew the reason, thus they no longer made this type of invitation, however it did provide a sense of freshness.

That’s why Mitotsudaira with a bitter smile mixed in,

“It is alright, I still have management of my territory inside Musashi to do. In a little while Musashi will be heading in the direction of Edo right? I think that I will descend at my actual territory.” 

“I see.”

At that point Masazumi put an end to that topic. There with both parties taking a short pause the conversion did not restart.

……ah……?

Mitotsudaira thought about the present situation with a slight doubt, this was a situation almost as if “directly following mentioning a bad topic”.

……Uh

From Masazumi's current silence she could feel an atmosphere of “sorry”. Masazumi had also already realized it as well, however if she immediately brought out a new topic it is certain that it could be felt that she was avoiding the previous topic.

It was now Masazumi's turn to wait, and for her to bring out a new topic to as a way of saying “Do not worry about it.”.

Mitotsudaira thought that she had to say something.

….H-however, umm.

Frankly, she was not good with this kind of situation. Wiping away an uncomfortable sweat, Mitotsudaira continued, 

“U-umm, that is…”

Right when she finished panicking. Unexpectedly a voice came from behind her. That was,

“Oi oi oi oi you guys! What are you doing with my treasure library!?”

Turning around, there in the corridor was an idiot carrying an eroge package.

Masazumi who was in a state of completely half-closed eyes turned around to the culprit responsible for the state of this room. On her shoulder 

『Ma-』

There, there Tsukinowa. You were not mistaken in deploying attack spells. However, those were the anti-ghost spells that Asama gave us during the battle against Hatton. You need anti-object or anti-personal spells. Also, it is fine if you do not do that against other people, okay?

However, while this side was conducting something like a strategy meeting through eye-contact, that idiot said, 

“Ah! These guys. Even though I went to great trouble to arrange the titles in several orders, you went and ruined that! Seijun! Do you understand how much the “The Changelings – throbbing labyrinth version” that you are currently holding is worth!?”

“It comes to about 300 yen out of the 12000 yen, doesn’t it?”

Saying that, the idiot pulled a textbook from his breast pocket, dammit!! , and threw it against the floor. Following that, the naked guy who was still wearing clothes pointed in this direction,

“You don’t understand! Don’t understand at all, Seijun! The values of goods are not determined by their price alone!”

“Ah! It is whether they are useless or not.”

The idiot again threw the textbook against the ground. Following that he looked at Mitotsudaira,

“Oi oi Nate! Say something to her. By the way Nate, won’t you come down to IZUMO and hang out with everyone? The fresh meat there from Hexagone Française is delicious. At the moment it's lamb! Lamb!  How about having a bite of one which is only salted and spit roasted?” 

“Uh…… Um, that is, well.”

In contrast with Mitotsudaira who was unable to follow the flow of the conversation, the idiot while scratching his head said,

“It’s fine Nate.”

Hmm, there the idiot tilted his neck,

“It’s not like your mother told you never ever to return. It’s not the mainland but IZUMO, once in a while let’s all go down and grab a meal together, yeah? Everyone wants to have a meal with you, you know!? An expensive one!”

“…Is that because you want it to be my treat?”

That is what I was thinking, is what Masazumi muttered to herself. However, on the other hand her thinking was,

……Mother?

That was the first time she had heard that story.


<center><span style="font-size: 300%;">●</span></center>


Masazumi did not know very much about Mitotsudaira.

About all she had heard was that she was originally of a small nobility, and that her family structure was her mother being a Loup-Garou and father being a human.

There was also that, for some reason or another, she had inherited the name of the Mito-Matsudaira clan and was dispatched alone to Musashi which had led to the current situation.
…Mitotsudaira’s last name was also originally a different name.

Masazumi did not know the specific details with regards to the circumstance regarding her name inheritance.

This was because recently in Hexagone Française, not only the important roles but also the noble lineage had been frequently interchanging due to the historical reconstruction of the thirty year war and the Catholic and Protestant civil war.

Recently the treasurer as well as the vice Chancellor had also just been changed. Everything was all part of the flow to welcome the era of the monarchy of Louis the Fourteenth.

Louis Exiv was the king who, after going through the civil war and the chaos of the thirty year war, would implement an unconditional monarchy.

In the Testament it was recorded that Hexagone Française would experience unprecedented prosperity at the behest of that king.

Consequently, other countries attempted to delay the name inheritance of Louis Exiv with Hexagone Française having to accept many disadvantaging conditions and to escape from these oppressions. 

The year before last, from the time of the first year of high school, the name of Louis Exiv was inherited, however

…Mitotsudaira being dispatched to Musashi from such a young age was also part of a deal in order to speed up that flow.

From the fact that Mitotsudaira was placing importance on her livelihood as a dispatched knight from Hexagone Française even while aboard Musashi, it was likely she had not totally cut herself from Hexagone Française. That she would not even descend to IZUMO was,

Her mother, huh.

She did not know the finer details but when it came to family bonds, the story was different. If you became involved with the thing known as “family”, even if you pry into it there was also a portion which could not be dealt with through emotion.

“Mitotsudaira, afterwards want to go get something to eat?”

“Eh? …… It is not like I wasn’t to go to IZUMO…”

“Nah, Tama is fine as well. Since Tama is also a foreign exchange ship, we can eat meat from Hexagone Française and there is also a good view. The guys who descended below will probably bring something as well. — Mitotsudaira, it’s fine if you bring green soybeans and ah, natto right?” 

“No, that is, it is not that my main business is natto…., Chancellor! Where are you planning to sneak away to while carrying the goods that we are trying to clean up!?”

“Ah, don’t you get it? To a different safe house, safe house.”

“Where is that?”

“Ah! Beneath the veranda at Asama’s Shrine and inside the attic of Shiro’s shop, I spent a lot of effort remodeling them.”

*'''[Vice President]:''' 『Did you hear? Can you go and have a quick look?』

*'''[Asama]:''' 『They are really there. When did he!』

*'''[Me]:''' 『Ah! Idiot, that is where the ones with priestesses are, wait till I arrive!』

*'''[Asama]:''' 『I understand. Well, once you have arrived I’ll burn them in front of your eyes okay?』

*'''[Me]:''' 『You Idiot. Think about the feelings of the people who created them. Do you get it!?』

*'''[Novice]:''' 『If you burn them, they won’t become a part of the second hand market, I, as an author, see that as a viable choice.』

*'''[Me]:''' 『D-Dammit, the net is full of enemies! It’s fine since I’m living in reality. In this reality space my power is threefold! However your powers have fallen to one-third! Get it!?』

*'''[Worshiper]:''' 『That’s from “Space Magistrate Echizen” which started the other day. The one who equips their combat gear in 180000 milliseconds.』

*'''[Argente Loup]:''' 『How about a thirty minute program that ends with just the transformation? In a certain way it is realistic.』

*'''[Asama]:''' 『How should I put it, with those calculations if the original level of power was a tenth of the enemy's, even with corrections you would still lose by a narrow margin.』

“Da-dammit! You guys reality assessment is zero sugar! Did you see that just now!?”

However the idiot, perhaps realizing something, slowly turned around. There, 

“Huh? Horizon, what are you doing pretending to smoke a cigarette and blowing smoke out of your nose? Are you going to help me?” 

The following moment. The students of the exercise based club who were practicing in the courtyard saw the window of the student council room smash and a human shaped something fly through the sky. However, after conforming that it fell on top of the bridge, everyone returned their gazes and continued their respective defense, attack and training. 

Jeez…, Mitotsudaira who saw Horizon stretching out the fingers of her right hand, looked at the broken window and while experiencing an uncomfortable sweat,

“H-hey, Horizon?”

“Jud, today I have plans to do with Kimi-sama to IZUMO. However on the way I thought about bringing Toori-sama along, and have been chasing after him.”

“Yeah, now that you mention it, you did mention something about that during class……”

“Jud. It is the store master’s family. The store master’s parent, Toori-sama’s grandmother, is there.”

The reason for going there was,

“It appears that grandmother knows about the past Horizon, therefore I wanted to meet her at least once.”

Hearing the contents of the spoken words, Mitotsudaira lightly held her breath.

There were a lot of things to consider.

There was the fact that Horizon had begun to hold interest regarding her past self, and that she was going to face her past head-on. There,

…Kimi had probably proposed the idea; however the Chancellor was not eager to go. 

Horizon wished to know about her past self.

I wonder if the fact that he was trying as much as possible to not interfere was because there still being a part which he was drawing back from Horizon. 

That’s why,

“…Catch the Chancellor—” 

She tried suggesting that for a reaction. 

“Shall I accompany you? As an escort.”

Hey, Masazumi called out to her from behind. However Horizon,

“No.”

That was rejected.

However, before the shock of being told she was unnecessary arrived, Horizon continued speaking.

“Yes, — I have already requested that Futayo-sama accompany me.”

“I-Is that so?”

As if trying to fill the void which had opened up inside her, Mitotsudaira asked a question.

In front of Mitotsudaira’s eyes Horizon, nodded in response. That was correct.

“Jud, lately Futayo-sama has been extremely busy, due to her effectiveness at her job slicing the remains of armor plating she has been called “Lady Ueno”, I thought she should take a breather. Just now when I could not find Mitotsudaira-sama, I called out to Futayo-sama and there she was “I do have interest in the confections of France.”.

“…It seems that over there Futayo has been unable to acquire any free time, and her tension seems like it is falling.”

However well,

“In the case of Futayo's tension falling, if it is confection, if she had said so I could prepare them, you know?"

“Is it possible for Mitotsudaira-sama to produce confection?”

Mitotsudaira nodded her head slightly.

She was confident that she could cook.

Her cooking had a tendency towards those of a wolf, though with confection, as long as citrus fruits were not used, she could make them. Particularly those western confections which used dairy products such as butter and cream were among her favorites. That was, in other words,

“Confections that use the fat of animals. — They suit the tastes of a wolf, you know?”

“Jud. Well, eventually I would like you to teach me how to make those. If I had to say it, then a lot of what Blue thunder handled were “Meals”, the master had also said that she has wished for that kind of repertoire.”

Really? The one who raised their voice was Masazumi.

“Well, while I’m a supporter of the Eastern confection, I do still have interest in Western confection. My father likes them, and it would be good if I could serve them before and after meetings. — Would you be willing to teach me, Mitotsudaira?”

Jud, Mitotsudaira went to reply, however thought about it for a moment.

If I had to say, recently the main trend of French confection were small goods. Taking into account the fact that Horizon was working in a bakery,

“If it is something you plan to sell in the store, I believe that there is a more suitable person than me.”

“Who would that be?”

“Jud, Mary Stuart.”

Mary who was provisionally seeking asylum from England was, together with the Tachibana couple, presently members of our class. However, Mitotsudaira had hardly exchanged words with Mary. The reason was simple.

…It was because she was British.

During the Middle Ages Hexagone Française had invaded England; however those invaders became indigenous and created the southern part of England. Consequently, England repeatedly attempted to be involved with the Royal succession of France; there was also the famous Joan De Arc who caused the Anglo-French 100 year war.

Hexagone Française even now still considers England as a vassal state or territories of Française and is treating it as an insurgent nation. Mitotsudaira also had from a young age gown up listening to her mother’s stories about Joan De Arc. A mere two hundred years ago, France almost came under the control of England, with its lands and people being ravished, and there the girl who had leaded the salvation of France was burnt at the stake by the English.  

It was a long time ago, is what her mother would always tell her and laugh and tell her. That now is the world of “stories”. 

……That is why; it is not like she held any resentment towards England, however.

Her sentiment was that she must find some positive points. They interfered with her country and plundered many things, however England had probably gone ahead and returned something.

That was a negative way of thinking.

She was thinking that she should not bring historical problems into her and Mary’s personal relationship. 

Therefore she was taking a distance from Mary to make sure that part did not come out during a chance remark.

However, during the time while she was thinking about herself who had made the claim that Mary was a suitable substitute concerning the production of confection,

“— Mitotsudaira-sama?”

“Eh?” 

In contrast to her, who was falling into a spiral of deep thought, Horizon called out to Mitotsudaira who seemed as if she was taken aback. 

“Why Mary-sama?”

“Ah, umm, well…”

While feeling a one-way sense of disappointment that if she did not explain, they would not accept, Mitotsudaira spoke.

“Rather the confection of Hexagone Française, in England there are more goods which would be considered evolutions of bread. If I had to say Hexagone Française’s confection has a lot of small goods—“

“That is the type that I wish for, Mitotsudaira-sama. If it is an evolution of bread then it would be somewhat difficult to distinguish from the goods on the shelves.”

“…Is that right?”

“Jud. — The store master is always originally from IZUMO; however it would appear that she is a magnificent real samurai and that confection creating and the like were our one shot in her way of living. If I had to say, it seems like that she learned to make bread in England.”

Well, she nodded and behind her Masazumi softly laughed.

“Argente Loup confection classroom huh. I wonder if this would be held regularly.”

“Masazumi…!”

Turning around, outside of the window a pair of black wings appeared holding a package.

“Eh!? What? Service contravene classroom…!?  What is that material? I’ll use it!? — Ah, this is that idiot’s goods.”

“Malga, would you please stop mishearing such strange things… If that package is a Priestess work, then please forward it over to Asama’s place.”

Ah, Naruze looked at the name and address, then kicked the broken windowsill and did a backwards somersault.

It looked like she was correct.

Lately every night she had been flying around together with Naito testing the functionality of Schwarz Fräulein and Weiss Fräulein however,

“As expected, you don’t use them during the day? I understand that the noise is dreadful after all.”

“They have bad fuel consumption. During the day since people and ships are flying, we have to make quick stops and circumvent a lot of them, which makes the fuel costs nothing to sneeze at. That’s why night, when it is only people we know, is the real deal. — For the time being, we have also been setting “Geheimnis Sabbat” during the night, will you come watch?”

Jud, Horizon was the one who replied. She nodded and,

“I will bring the confection that Mitotsudaira-sama has created along with me.”

Hmm, Naruze showed a meaningful smile and flew above the wind sill.

“That sounds nice — it has been a while. I’m looking forward to it.”

She thought about protesting, however before she could voices echoed up from below.

“He ran away!” “He’s crawling!... He’s fast” “Eh, no stop!” 

There among the screams of the students was the sound of footsteps mixed in,

“…It’s the Chancellor.”

“…Horizion will ignore this and go ahead with Kimi.”

There’s nothing to be done, Masazumi’s voice was heard, however it suddenly stopped. Thinking about what the matter was, Tsukinowa was opening a sign frame.

Masazumi who was looking at the sign frame slightly furrowed her brow, however when she noticed here,

“Ah, — please go on ahead. A message has come in from Neshinbara, so I just have to deal with that.”

“If something happens, make sure to immediately let me know, okay?”

Jud, after hearing that answer, Mitotsudaira, together with Horizon, went out into the corridor. Everyone else as well, for example Mary, at this time was living while embracing a variety of thoughts.

'''Study - IZUMO CORPORATION'''


''Toori'':　『Sis! Sis! I descended down into IZUMO however there were a variety of branded goods and I did not know which I should buy! Do you have any advice please!』

''Kimi'':　『Let’s see, having a basic look, there should be no problem if you buy the IZUMO brand. It’s a composite syndicate so you can go from a castle or ship to even a grain of rice. The representative brands of IZUMO as are below.』
 
*'''Izumo Industry:''' IZUMO’s parent organization. In reality IZUMO is also a brand of the Izumo Industry however since Izumo industry has Shinto and aviation technologies as the primary concern the positions are now reversed.
*'''IZUMO:''' IZUMO’s main brand. Having Shinto, aviation technology and commodities as the primary concerns, it has developed at many levels by using the transportation capacity of the Shinto network which connects the entirety of the Far East. It is the largest enterprise of the Far East. Since the Shirasago Enterprise started dealing with serious goods, in reality they have started developing into a variety of areas including joke material.
*'''Shirasago Enterprise''': In contrast to IZUMO which liked to develop a variety of new products, with serious staple goods and Shinto-related as the core of the brand, they have in reality changed into a different shrine. The headquarters are located below IZUMO on the land of the old IZUMO. They often get caught up in the messes of IZUMO and ends up in the role of facing that trouble.
*'''Bizen''': A brand which handles ironworking related activities. It is located upon the southern provisional country border of M.H.H.R. and Hexagone Française and conducts the provision of Olay Metal to both countries. Its expansion into other country is BIZEN.
*'''INARIFOX:''' an Inari-related development section which was merged during the Harmonic Unification War. Specialises in the development of Mouse and Executive Assistant  
*'''Izumo Divine Transmission:''' A provider which handled the Shinto divine transmission network from ancient times. It is the foundation of the entire Far East’s Shinto divine transmission network, after the Harmonic Unification War they also took charge of the heavenly god divine transmission network system of the Capital and the Ise force.

''Kimi'':『There are also the gods of war MINO and the fast food stalwart BURGER, however these should describe those relating to life on Musashi and those located nearby. Musashi has the majority of Shinto goods and Divine transmissions of the Shirasago brand as a result of the Asama Shrine being connected to Shirasago, however in other cities of the Far East, the names of IZUMO and Izumo Divine Transmission are larger. Each brand has goods that are considered their speciality, so it might be good to keep that in mind.”』

''Toori'':　『Well…., with all these being available I have to make sure to decide by genre.』

''Kimi'':　『No, you’re talking about Eroge again.』
