Hidan no Aria:Volume9 Epilogue

Epilogue: Go for the Next!! The G Bloodline

October 31st in the middle of night, I submitted the school-transfer form to the Masters unscathed...the next day was Sunday.

The cleaning up of the Cultural Festival is left to the first years, so I shopped around for civilian's quests in the Inquesta's PC room to pass the time.

The problem of the hour is that I must solve my own financial problems. I must quickly do something for the left hand's 'Orochi' payment to Hiragai-san.

And having that in mind I searched for some job...but there aren't any good ones. The only quests that have a high payment are all dangerous jobs.

There was one job, just being a bodyguard...but that is also no good. It is for being the bodyguard of a princess from some big company. I can't have any more encounters with princesses. And so on, as I was picky with the quests it is now evening, and I still haven't found any jobs.

In the condition of not speaking to anyone for about a day, at night, at Master's quest board I finally got the job I was searching for.

While looking at the printed paper in my hand, I returned to the boys' dorms―

"......?"

There was a trail of blood down the corridor. The blood itself is not something rare in Butei High School, but the blood marks were trailing towards the direction of my room.

Becoming a little worried, I quickly rushed to the door—

“……!”

The silver wolf Haimaki was crouching in front of the door.

“What happened……!”

Haimaki was hurt badly. His silver hair was saturated with blood.

To the panicking me, while trembling, Haimaki handed me the cellphone he was holding in his mouth.

Those eyes were as if he had just handed something important to someone he really trusted.

If you look at the cellphone—it was Reki’s. The light green water-proof cellphone was wet with blood.

Although it was someone else’s cellphone, because of the situation, I opened it— “……!”

I couldn’t understand at first what I was seeing. It seemed like the last thing the cellphone did was take a photo.

At the bottom of the screen it asked “Do you want to save it?”—

The picture showed—

(Wha….what, is this……!)

Silver and Black, Government.

The Japanese sword—Irokane Ayame.

The silver Remington Double Derringer

And—Dragunov sniper rifle.

Aria, Shirayuki, Riko, and Reki’s weapons are piled up easily……!

As I looked at that picture, appalled—

--pipipippipipipipipi—

The ringtone rung, from Reki’s cellphone.

On the screen, it showed “Unknown number TV call Incoming”

I pressed the call with trembling finger—

“You finally picked up, you’re so slow”

I heard a low voice, and for a second, a male’s face was shown on the cellphone screen.

A face covered with war face painting like some tribe.

(……this guy…….!)

I remember seeing him.

He is the guy from last month, present at the Bandire on the Empty Island—G-Ⅲ.

He was the one that told everyone to bring someone strong over…the one that seemed to like fighting the most.

--TV cellphone's image shook.

“H…Hey!”

“Fourth, look. This is Tohyama Kinji.”

G-Ⅲ’s voice was heard from outside the image, and in place was a person that had been handed the cellphone.

“……?”

The face—

I caught my breath.

She was a beautiful girl with sharp eyes. Her age is a little younger than mine. She is wearing a red-sunglass-like Head Up Display, so behind each ears she wore something that looked like a sensor.

Her slightly slender upper body is equipped with Mat Black body armor, there is a futuristic tactical blade on top, and there are a few others blade-like weapons between her waists and on her back.

But, what surprised me, are not just these mechanical offensive equipment.

Even if this is the first time I saw her—

However I felt that I know her.

I know her……not from the information aspect, but from the consanguinity aspect, I had such feelings.

This girl—is closely related to me.

This difficult to describe feeling flowed all over my body, even if this was the first I saw her.

Who……who is she exactly……

“—Wow, I really like it, compared with a photo, a video is better!”

That girl who approached the screen joyfully had beautiful chestnut hair—That soft hair bouncing, and her voice sound like she’s really excited.

“Who are you—All of you!”

I shouted at Reki’s handphone—

“I’m G IV (G Fourth)—Call me by my product number, I have no name.”

That maiden squinted her black eyes and replied.

G Fourth……?

“What happened in that photo……? What did you guys do to Aria and the others?”

“I don’t know which is nii-san’s girlfriend, so I finished them all.”

……?

Ni, nii-san……?

“Those girls that approached nii-san—I’ve killed them all! If there are any others, I’ll have to kill them too. Nii-san has to enter HSS mode by using me starting today—Wa, I actually said it. That’s so embarrassing……! I felt excited just by saying these words……! Oh no, I’m really impure!”

Hahaha! The girl raised her head and laughed—my mind went blank.

What, what, what.

What are you saying exactly.

I recalled the words she spoke, only then I noticed, she keeps calling me “nii-san”

Something of a younger sister, I don’t remember having one.

We are the Tohyama brothers, there’s only nii-san……and I.

“What……are you guys actually?”

I tried my best to calm myself down, and said these words.

The screen shook again, G Third appeared once more—He looked at me, and with a scornful tone, he spoke.

“No matter how many times I look I still find it hard to believe. Is he really the one who took Sherlock out.”

“—Hey! Both of you……are IU revenants!? Answer me, what are you guys!”

“Shut up! Do your worse! Fight!”

G Third who only replied with these three sentences—

The direction of the camera of the video phone suddenly changed.

The view seems like an empty audience, and the girl called G Fourth who spoke with me just now napping—

Next to appear, is a stage showered with limelight.

What appeared on the stage……

“………………!!”

The girl that participated with me in a cheerful culture festival—Aria.

The girl who is in charge of the pot during the Butei Pot event—Shirayuki.

The girl who returned alive after battling Hilda, and gained her freedom—Riko.

The girl who revealed her unexpected drawing talents, and praised by the Masters—Reki.

The four members of Team Baskerville, are covered in blood—

They laid lifelessly on the floor, just like those piled weapons.
