Editing Masou Gakuen HxH:Volume 13 Epilogue (section)

===Part 2===

Himekawa Hayuru was driving an electric car towards the testing site of Nayuta Lab.

While driving, she saw a shining object at the end of the sky descending. She should be meeting them, but she was slightly late.

After she passed through the entrance of the testing site with a drift maneuver, she saw a group of students of the research department at the front. She drove until near them and stopped the car.

Himekawa got down from the car and waved her hand at Yurishia who was receiving a health examination.

「Welcome back Yurishia-san.」

「My? I’m back Hayuru. It should be fine even if you don’t come to pick me up though.」

Yurishia already dispelled her magic armor. She was only wearing a pilot suit. When Yurishia finished her examination, she walked towards Hayuru who was restlessly looking around.

「Err……where is Kizuna-kun?」

Yurishia borrowed an Ataraxia’s designated spring coat that was hanged nearby without asking and wore it on her shoulders.

「He said that he has some business and went away without even receiving the examination.」

「……So he ran away.」

Himekawa glared angrily at the direction of the entrance. However she couldn’t fine Kizuna’s figure anywhere.

「I wonder if it’s because he detected the scary public morals committee chairman coming here?」

「I, I am only giving warnings so that Ataraxia’s public morals won’t get out of order! Even the Ecstasy Hybrid has to be performed within the limitation of the duty to the end!」

「Yes yes, I get it. Then, can you take me until the dormitory?」

Yurishia lightly warded away Himekawa’s speech and climbed into her car.

「Good grief! Yurishia-san, you too! Even today there was no need to do Ecstasy Hybrid isn’t it!?」

Himekawa climbed on the driver’s seat and stepped on the pedal roughly. The tires lightly made a skidding sound and the car went out of the testing site.

Yurishia sent an exasperated gaze at the angry Himekawa.

「Hayuru, you said that, but even you are doing Ecstasy Hybrid aren’t you? The attack to the nuclear facility last week, that was Hayuru right?」

The hands that were holding the wheel twitched in surprise. The car lightly swayed to left and right.

「Even the spent nuclear fuel at the testing site was annihilated without a trace. Even if it was Gladius, it would be impossible without doing Ecstasy Hybrid.」

Himekawa’s face became bright red and her shoulders hunched down.

「Tha, that……there was no other way……」

Yurishia smiled teasingly.

「But it was an amazing discovery wasn’t it~ To think that it’s possible to do Ecstasy Hybrid from the back too.」

「I also did it at the front properly!」

The car almost leaped at the other side of the traffic lane.

「Wai-! Hayuru, auto driving!」

Yurishia reached out in panic and pushed the switch on the console for auto driving. The zigzagging car immediately ran in a straight line.

Yurishia let out a deep sigh and stared at Himekawa with a fixed gaze.

「……So? You said 『also』……Hayuru, you did it both ways then?」

「……Please don’t ask.」

Himekawa curled into herself with tears gathering in her eyes.

「Well……it doesn’t matter. But, the probability will get halved like that you know?」

「I understand that……but」

Himekawa rubbed her fingertips together while fidgeting.

「There is also the problem of preference but……as expected, the front makes me feel guilty or something……」

「Now listen, Hayuru. Even we won’t be able to stay on active duty forever you know? Ejecting the core and handing it over to the next generation can even be said to be the most important duty for us right now. Hayuru, are you going to keep doing Heart Hybrid, wear Neros, and fight in public even forty years from now?」

「That’s impossible!」

Himekawa immediately answered.

「Right? Now that Professor Nayuta is gone, there is no way to eject the core other than doing Ecstasy Hybrid. We have to do Ecstasy Hybrid with Kizuna proactively for that too.」

Almost a hundred percent of the thing that Kizuna let out when doing Ecstasy Hybrid was converted into energy, preventing pregnancy.

However, pregnancy might happen in an extremely small chance. At that time, the core would be ejected outside the body as though it was handing over its place to the baby.

Himekawa pressed both her hands on her cheeks as though to cool down her heated face.

「Although it’s something that can’t be helped……making baby, with Kizuna-kun……」

「The research department is in the middle of researching another way but, it looks like it will be impossible in our generation.」

「Even though Kizuna-kun and Aine-san are officially going out……it became this kind of licentious, preposterous outcome……somehow it makes me feel guilty.」

However Yurishia responded candidly.

「Even Aine consented to it.」

「There is that but……」

Himekawa frowned. Yurishia smiled seeing her like that.

「As I thought……you cannot give up on Kizuna?」

Himekawa pressed her lips tightly and answered after a while.

「……We are bringing our bodies together periodically……it’s impossible to forget about him like that.」

「Then isn’t it fine? Well, in my position, it will help me if you say that you are giving up, my rivals will decrease like that.」

「That’s……!」

「This is an era where divorce or remarriage are commonplace you know? It’s fine if in the end I can obtain Kizuna. Besides Ataraxia is an independent country you know? There is no need to be bound by the laws of the old world.」

「I, it’s not a problem of law, but an ethical problem!」

「Actually, I thought to make a new law and right now I’m in the middle of formulating it. Don’t you think that polygamy is good?」

「What are you scheming……also, there is something bothering me since some time ago.」

「Whaat?」

「That necklace……what’s with that……」

There was an unfamiliar leather belt on Yurishia’s neck. It was a type that was fastened using metal fittings, it was as though──

「Ah, this? It’s a collar.」

「Co, collar……wait!?」

「I asked Kizuna to put it on me. With this it will also get conveyed to everyone that I am Kizuna’s sex slave won’t it?」

「Yu, Yurishia-san……you are really」

「What? Are you jealous?」

「I, I’m not jealous or anything!」

However for some reason, a feeling of jealousy was whirling somewhere inside Himekawa’s heart.

──’E, even me when it’s just the two of us I’m……Ki, Kizuna-kun’s……pe, pet. At that time even I wear a collar……wha, what’s more it even has a bell attached! My collar is absolutely better!’

The car stopped at the dormitory’s entrance while Himekawa was strangely burning with rivalry.

「Welcome back Yurishia.」

A silver haired girl was going out from the entrance at that timing.

「My, Aine. This is rare for you to welcome me.」

「It’s just a coincidence.」

Aine who was wearing Ataraxia’s uniform peered into the car.

「Kizuna isn’t with you?」

Himekawa answered with a sigh.

「That’s……it looks like he immediately ran off somewhere.」

「……So he ran away.」

Aine bit her thumb and muttered in frustration.

After Yurishia and Himekawa got down from the car, it automatically started running towards the parking lot.

「Well, in the end he will come back here. How about we go back to the room for now?」

「You’re right. How did your mission go?」

Aine asked while heading towards the entry hall.

「It went smoothly. What about you Aine?」

「My opponent was just a reconnaissance drone. I hit it back to the country that sent it. I attached the option that the next time they send another, I’ll sink it along with the aircraft carrier.」

「Rather than that Aine-san. Listen to this, Yurishia-san, she was talking about trying to make polygamy legal in Ataraxia you know? What do you think?」

「Polygamy?」

Aine slightly looked up and thought for a while.

「I don’t really mind you know?」

「Eeh!?」

「As expected from Aine, how magnanimous. It’s not for nothing that you were an emperor.」

Aine made a boasting smile at the two who were showing contrastive reactions.

「Well, the first wife is this me after all. Perhaps it’s more accurate to call it the composure of the legal wife?」

Certainly that might be so──however, getting told that so straightly also wasn’t amusing for Himekawa and Yurishia.

「……I guess. But, there are many stories of concubines or mistresses being loved more rather than the first wife.」

Aine’s eyebrows twitched up.

「What did you say?」

「That’s right isn’t iit. Besides, in this current situation……the one who gets pregnant with Kizuna’s child first will be in the lead.」

「Wha……-!?」

Aine glared at Yurishia with a flustered look.

「Now wait a second! In that case isn’t it the commander who has the most advantage!?」

「Eh!? Aine-san, what do you mean by that?」

「It’s just a rumor but……I heard just now that the commander abused her authority to summon Kizuna during all his free time……I was waiting outside because I want to ascertain it but……」

Yurishia also made a fearless smile.

「This is……it has to be checked from Kizuna himself isn’t it.」

「Really! Let’s tie him up, then we will absolutely make him confess!」

「Good grief! Just where is he going, that man!?」
