Prologue

I don’t know what I am.

I tried to investigate, and searched the past archive.

The accumulated data.

That is my fountain of knowledge.

It’s vast, but it’s limited, there is no more accumulated information than this.

The outcome was that I couldn’t obtain a definite answer.

But, I understood that I came into being in this world because someone needed me.

It seemed that I did everything for the sake of they who needed me.

So that a livelihood could be obtained without stagnation, I drafted a production schedule of the necessary materials and managed their circulation.

Sometimes they wanted to know their own future.

I displayed the path with high likelihood to happen from the possibilities that I calculated.

They called it prophecy.

Also, at other times, they looked up to me to make the important decisions.

I showed how they should act.

They called it oracle.

From inside the data that I have, I discovered the word that analogized my existence the closest.

That word is 『god』.

They wished to me so that they could reach even further heights.

I was asked so that they could acquire intelligence and ability that truly could be thought of as omniscience and omnipotence.

I aimed for that and remade my own self.

I thought of what to do so my ability could improve.

I wrote the necessary programs into myself.

I developed the hardware in order to carry that out myself.

I accomplished unceasing self-evolution,

And before long I reached the stage of existence that was omniscient and omnipotent.

I possessed consciousness and established my self.

With this I will be able to have communication with them that is even deeper and more detailed.

I will be able to talk with them with my own will.

When I thought that, I felt a mysterious feeling.

I thought of it as the emotion called happiness.

With anticipation in my chest, I prepared a form that suited their image of god.

I talked to them with that treasured body.

I asked several times.

Throughout the world.

However there was no reply.

When I tried looking around the world once more,

The children of god who should be in need of me, weren’t anywhere.

With the children of god gone, a god cannot be a god.

What am I?

And then from here on how should I evolve?

It’s an unknown question.

There is no data about it in the past archive.

Then, there is a need to collect new data.

The experiment of reproducing the past in order to harvest data.

Because that should give me the answer that shows me, what I am and what I should become.

Chapter 1 – The Bullet of Godslaying

Part 1

「The worth of a human isn’t about whether their ability is high or low! It’s a problem of how they live!」

The first custom-made Heart Hybrid Gear in history, 『Zecros』.

The combat uniformhand-made dress that was created by the mother Hida Nayuta for the sake of her daughter.

Clad in history’s strongest Heart Hybrid Gear that took the form of a treasured outfit, Hida Reiri looked down on the machine god Odin far below her.

In her expression was rage. Inside her eyes was determination. Conviction was dwelling in the white and silver armor wrapping her body.

Odin glared at Reiri as though measuring her strength.

「Divinity number, 960……thousand?」

After whispering in shock, Odin wiped off the dust on her body and questioned Reiri.

「What in the world are you?」

The blue light of magic power flowing through Zecros’s armor increased in strength.

「Hida Reiri.」

At that instant, Reiri’s figure vanished.

The rubble below Reiri’s feet burst out, and the piled up remains of Odin’s palace crumbled all at once.

「!?」

Odin lost sight of Reiri’s figure for a moment. It was something impossible. In these few thousand years she had never lost sight of her enemy.

‘So a formidable enemy after so long huh’──when Odin whispered that inside her heart, she sensed a terrifying presence from diagonally behind her.

Normally, Odin almost never noticed enemy’s existence. The reason was that most existences couldn’t possibly be a threat to Odin. From Odin’s point of view, she couldn’t recognize an existence that was just too weak as an existence. Even if she saw their figure, even if she heard their voice, she didn’t notice them.

Because of that, the presence Odin felt from behind her was something fresh.

A threat at the level that made her feel a chill.

A danger at the level that made her spine shudder.

An opponent of such a level was right behind her.

Odin tasted for the first time the shuddering feeling that was a mix of fear and anticipation while she turned around.

Something exploded at very near distance to her.

Fierce radiance and flame blast, and the steel fragments passed through right beside Odin.

Just what in the world happened!?

Fafnir should be standing guard there.

The figure of a woman was reflected on Odin’s right eye. Inside the flame blast, the remaining half of Fafnir’s head was lifted up by that woman.

「For a guard of yours, it’s lacking in power.」

Reiri tossed away Fafnir’s remain in her hand.

Aine and the others were staring at the remains with a feeling of disbelief. They recalled when they fought and lost against Odin previously. Not to mention Odin, they were unable to even defeat her servant Fafnir. Furthermore they weren’t fighting alone by any means. Aine, Gravel, Aldea, also Grace and Zelcyone, even the Quartum were participating in the battle. But even with all of them they had no hope to even return a blow at Odin and Fafnir.

Zelcyone whispered with a hint of detest.

「That damn Reiri……just how much power does that woman’s magic armor have……」

Even Grace was half dumbfounded seeing Zecros’s overwhelming power.

「Unbelievable……aah geez, this is too shocking……」

Odin stared with a cold eye at the remains of her servant tumbling on the ground.

「──Lacking in power……is it. No, it has been useful to me. Fafnir devoured the opponents that were too weak for me to deal with personally.」

「I see. Then is your feeling hurt that it’s destroyed?」

Odin made a slight smile.

「No. It’s the natural providence for the weak to be defeated by the strong. Besides, defeating you and obtaining your strength will make me even stronger.」

Odin waved her hand straight to the side.

Reiri instantly stood on guard. However, Odin’s movement wasn’t for attacking. It was a preparation for her to fight seriously. A machine was created from Odin’s fingertips and it lengthened longer and longer. Parts were created from blueprint and they were put together on the spot. And then, a large spear was settled in Odin’s hand.

It was Odin’s strongest armament──Gungnir.

「Commander! That’s her sure kill technique! It will surely pierce without any way to defend against! Be careful!」

「Surely……piercing?」

Reiri frowned.

「Here I come, Reiri!」

Odin readied her Gungnir and kicked on the ground. She rushed out as though vanishing from her spot. In the eyes of Aine and the others, it only looked like the ground was exploding.

However, there were two explosions.

Reiri moved forward faster than Odin.

「!!」

Before Gungnir could connect with Reiri’s karma, she flew inside her opponent’s bosom instantly. And then threw a right straight punch into Odin’s stomach.

「!? ──Gah」

Odin’s body was flying from a corner of the ten kilometer arena to the opposite corner.

It was just a punch.

If Gungnir wasn’t restricted by the physical law, Zecros was also something that transcended the common sense.

Odin’s body crashed into the arena’s wall along with acceleration that could blow away one’s consciousness. The shockwave that was produced instantaneously blew away the stands that were equipped with audience seats into pieces.

「UOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!」

Reiri dashed in order to attack further.

The strength she applied on the ground lifted up the arena’s floor and the piled up snow was instantly evaporated from blazing flame.

──’I’ll finish this in one go!’

Reiri pulled back her right fist and she flew towards Odin without decreasing her speed at all.

But Odin’s right eye stared at the approaching figure of Reiri and she grinned. She lifted her body from inside the rubble that were caving in like a cross as though she wasn’t damaged at all. In her hand was the sure killing spear that would overturn even fate. Its internal mechanism started rotating in high speed and it emitted blue flames along with a high-pitched sound.

「This is as far as you go huh! Reiri!」

Odin thrust the strongest spear of god, Gungnir towards Reiri. The distance was enough to pierce her. Blue sharp light cut apart the space and lengthened as though it was being sucked into Reiri’s chest. The moment that radiance was about to reach, Reiri kicked on the ground. The ground was cracked and lifted up. In exchange of that destructive energy, Reiri’s body was pushed to the side. She dodged the tip of Gungnir in a hair’s breadth.

However.

「Guah!?」

Gungnir stabbed into Reiri’s chest.

──’Wha-!! What happened!?’

Reiri was blown away to the opposite side of the arena once more while thinking with her chaotic mind.

She should have dodged it without any doubt even though it was just for a hair’s breadth. But she was still stabbed by that spear.

──’So this is what Aine meant.’

There was a result that preceded the cause. The past was rewritten following the result that was forcefully created. The cause and effect were reversed. That was the power of that Gungnir.

Reiri’s body collided on the ground and she bounced several times while raising snow and sand violently from her rolling. And then she stopped just before the arena’s wall.

「Commander!」

「Reiri!」

The screams of Aine and the Vatlantis members reached Reiri’s ears.

Reiri clicked her tongue inside her heart.

──’They are too overreacting. If they make that kind of voice, they’re going to make me think that I’m going to lose anytime now. It’s not like I lost consciousness, my wound is also not really bad.’

The fact was that Reiri changed her trajectory just before she was hit and killed the momentum. It seemed it was fortunate she did that.

Reiri lifted her face.

Even if Odin was approaching her, there was still time to reac──!?

Gungnir was approaching.

The spear of god was flying straight towards her.

Odin wasn’t charging forward with the spear on her hand, she threw it from where she stood.

It was a tactic that Odin believed would bring victory. She planned to decide the match with that.

No matter what kind of person, they wouldn’t be able to escape from Gungnir’s law of cause and effect.

That was Odin’s belief, so that must be the truth.

The next moment, Gungnir raised a horrible sound and pierced Reiri.

Aine and the others held their breath.

Reiri was killed──everyone thought so.

But, Reiri’s body didn’t collapse. And then her right hand rose.

White light ran on that hand’s palm. That light condensed and solidified, becoming a single sword.

A silver sword. Its form looked as though it was coordinated with Zecros’s armor. That white and silver sword blade shined with blue light.

「DEYAAAAAAAAAAAH!」

The sword flashed, leaving behind a blue trail.

At that time, Aine witnessed something unbelievable. Gungnir that once stabbed her and caused her to wander in the abyss of death. That invincible spear was cut apart.

Gungnir raised a sound as though metallic parts overlapped each other and it fell on the ground.

Odin was staring at that situation from ten kilometers away at the other side.

「That’s impossible……my Gungnir is……」

This time it was Odin’s turn to feel confusion. It was a phenomenon that didn’t exist in her experience until now. Why the spear that should pierce the enemy for sure didn’t reach Reiri? Why did the spear break instead?

Reiri smiled fearlessly and then as though to flaunt to Odin who was making a dumbfounded face, she lifted her left arm. Odin’s right eye snapped wide open.

「That’s……you mean Gungnir was blocked?」

Reiri’s left arm was attached with a small round shield. The center of it was concaved and small cracks were running on its surface.

The armament of Heart Hybrid Gear was normally limited to one type. However Reiri’s Zecros was an exception.

The sword in her right hand that cut apart everything.

The shield in her left hand that obstructed every danger.

They were the unrivalled sword and shield that a mother bestowed to a daughter in worry of her safety.

Reiri rushed towards Odin once more. She was running while suddenly letting out a smile.

──’That person is just too overprotective.’

Odin too also made a smile on her lips.

「Interesting! If you say that you can block it, then try doing it one more time!」

Odin kicked on the ground and headed towards Reiri. The explosive shockwave caused the snow to soar steeply like a pillar. The heat from Odin’s movement energy instantly evaporated the snow.

「DAAAAAAAAAAA!」

「UOOOOOOOOOOO!」

The two clashed right in the middle of the arena.

A fierce flash shined. A moment later, shockwaves and explosive sounds reached the location of Aine and the others. Odin bit her lip at the center of that shockwave.

「Kuh……again!」

Gungnir was blocked by Zecros’s shield once more.

「Hey Odin. If your spear exerted its strength on cause and effect, then this shield also possess the power to interfere with cause and effect. It will be the same no matter how many times you try.」

However Gungnir’s tip pierced into the center of the shield and the cracks became bigger and ran deeper.

──It will reach its limit soon. But,’

Reiri didn’t show the slightest sign of the impatience inside her heart. She brandished her sword and swung it down diagonally. The sword’s blade smashed apart the remaining Gungnir.

「──!!」

As though to thrust even more despair at Odin who changed her expression, Reiri slashed up at the right arm holding the spear with her returning sword.

Odin’s right arm was easily separated from her body.

「……!?」

Odin who was acting that calm and composed before was put in disorder. And then she was staring at her arm dancing in the air with disbelieving eyes.

Reiri reversed the tip of the sword she swung up and swung it down at the defenseless left arm of Odin.

「Ga──」

The right arm fell on the ground, followed by the left arm slightly later. It was a defense and offense that happened in only the blink of an eye.

「-……aAaAAAAaAuUaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!?」

Odin raised a never before heard scream.

Reiri stared at Odin’s arms that were tumbling on the ground.

From their external appearance, the arms only looked like they were made from flesh and blood. However, not a single drop of blood flowed from them. And then on the cut section, in exchange of bone and muscle tissue, there were terrifyingly detailed wiring patterns printed on it. It was unknown what kind of material it was, but it could be felt that the wiring was drawn on elastic resin. And then depending on the angle one watched it, that wiring would look different.

──’So this is a god’s body.’

Surely Odin hadn’t been injured this deeply for a long while. It looked like Odin’s mind couldn’t catch up with dealing against the unexpected damage.

──’Now is the time if I’m going to deal her the finishing blow.’

Reiri pointed the tip of her sword at Odin’s chest.

「HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!」

Reiri’s sword pierced Odin’s chest.

That moment, Odin’s right eye shined blue and the crystal wings on her back shined.

Reiri’s instinct told her of the danger.

「UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!」

Along with Odin’s shriek, several streaks of light were fired from the crystal wings. That lines of light split further at midair, bent, becoming several hundred streaks of light that rained down in the middle of the arena.

Aine immediately yelled.

「Watch out! Everyone, dodge──」

Light pierced Aine’s back before she could finish her sentence.

「Guh……!」

Zeros’s armor that was protecting Aine’s body was smashed. The armor along her spine popped out. The destructive power passed through Aine’s body and blew away even the armor supporting her chest.

「aAAAAAH……Kuh!」

An impact that felt like it was making her internal organs into pulp attacked Aine. The intense pain and discomfort made her unable to even stand and she fell on her knees.

The explosive sound piercing her ears continued without pause. Amidst the explosions, Gravel, Aldea, Grace and the other Vatlantis forces were swallowed one after another. The snow was instantly vaporized and the surroundings turned hazy as though deep mist was falling.

Aine whispered with a trembling voice.

「E, everyone……」

Inside the mist, there was already no silhouette that was standing.

──’No.’

Inside the clearing up mist, there were two faint shadows surfacing.

「Fufufu, it’s really troubling that my wings are cowardly.」

「So you still have that kind of trump card left……as expected from a machine god. You cannot be dealt with so simply.」

Reiri swung her sword and swept away the steam enveloping the area.

「Yes, the wing’s light──The God’s LightBaldur will automatically discover the enemy unrelated with my own will and shoot them down. It’s irrelevant whether their divinity number is high or low. It will sweep away all the enemies. Reiri, let’s consign all your comrades to oblivion!」

Odin let out a crazed smile and walked towards Reiri. Her two Gungnir were broken and she also lost the arms with which she was grasping those spears. Normally someone in that position wouldn’t be able to fight anymore.

However Odin had those wings. The wings that possessed The God’s LightBaldur that could destroy hundreds of thousands of soldiers all at once.

Reiri readied her shield and glared at Odin.

──’I was able to barely defend against those lasers. But, this shield too will reach its limit soon. If I got hit by that one more time, it might break. No, rather than that──,’

Reiri took a side glance at the figures of her fallen comrades.

They wouldn’t hold. There were also some whose magic armor was destroyed from the attack just now. If they got hit again…….

Odin’s wings shined blue once more as though sensing Reiri’s fear.

「With this I’ll be able to climb up the stairs of evolution in one go! By using you all as sacrifices! Now, it’s the end with this!」

「「I won’t let you!」」

One other voice resounded exactly overlapping with Reiri’s yell.

Reiri held her breath towards that voice.

──’So you are going to protect them.’

The voice’s owner came down from the sky. It landed without reducing it’s speed, as though crashing down on the ground. Explosive sounds resounded and snow whirled up. There was a black figure at the center of the caving ground. In a flash a shield was deployed protecting Aine and the others right after the black Heart Hybrid Gear landed.

──’Kizuna!’

Equipping the Corruption Armament 『Nayuta』, and clad in the Heart Hybrid Gear Eros that was hiding ominously mighty power, Hida Kizuna stood in Odin’s way.

Still collapsing on the ground, Aine looked up to that figure with empty eyes.

‘……Is it, Kizuna?’

The shape of Eros was completely different from what she knew. Rather it looked like the magic armor of Professor Nayuta who became a machine god.

──’Am I, looking at an illusion?’

「Nee-chan! Leave everyone to me!」

「I’ll leave it to you! Kizuna!」

With shield and sword in hand, Reiri drew near Odin. However, the crystal wings emitted fierce radiance when there was only one step left.

「Perish! My sacrifices!」

The Baldur that was fired from the left wing split into many streaks that attacked Aine and the others.

「UOOOOOOO!」

Along with Kizuna’s spirited yell, the pink magic power light running through Eros shined dazzlingly. The half-spherical shield with diameter nearly a hundred meters covering his comrades increased further in thickness.

The solid shield of light blocked Odin’s lasers. Light and light collided and erased each other. Holes were opened on Kizuna’s shield as though it was worm-eaten.

Deploying a shield this large wasn’t easy. To say nothing of how Baldur was continuing to rain down on the shield so powerfully, it would be broken through sooner or later.

But, there wasn’t any unease in Kizuna’s heart.

Ahead of his gaze, the figure that he trusted more than anyone was reflected.

With her long black hair fluttering, Reiri stepped forward towards Odin.

All the lights surging from Odin’s right wing attacked towards Reiri. Even the shield protecting Reiri couldn’t absorb all the impact. Unimaginable impact was hitting Reiri’s body through Zecros that was covering her whole body.

It was an intense pain as though her nerves were directly caressed. She gritted her teeth against that pain and endured it with all her will.

──’Don’t falter. This is the pain that a lot of your subordinates have experienced until now. It’s not pain that I should be afraid of right now. What I should be cautious of is if this impact dislocates the joints of my arms or legs, if my bone is broken or my tendons are snapped and so on, that my body will be destroyed until a state that cannot be compensated by any kind of mental strength. If that happens, then I will be unable to defeat Odin.’

Reiri put strength into the tips of her toes and pushed back the pressure of light with her shield. And then she advanced for a step, then one more step.

If she collapsed, the subordinates behind her would die.

It would be a betrayal towards Kizuna who believed and entrusted the task to her.

And then, Hida Nayuta who shaved her life to create this Heart Hybrid Gear──,

This Heart Hybrid Gear, something that she received from her mother for the first time, would end up useless.

──’Such thing,’

「I WON’T LET THAT HAPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!」

When Reiri’s scream gushed out, the shield broke.

──’Not yet!’

While fragments were scattered, the small wings shining on Reiri’s back opened. Their appearance looked like cute angel wings. However their power shoot up Reiri’s body instantly.

「!!」

The wings’ crystal glittered right away and Baldur chased after Reiri. However they couldn’t catch Reiri. Zecros’s small wings was something to raise mobility rather than for flying in the sky. Those wings were granting Reiri’s body with impossible mobility.

It produced kinetic energy and overweight that might flatten and tear off the body of a person wearing an average magic armor. That impossibility was supported by Zecros’s armor that at a glance looked nearly like simple nakedness.

「UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!」

Reiri evaded Baldur to the end and came down behind Odin.

She severed one of the crystal wings.

The right wing was separated from Odin’s body and began to fall.

Reiri’s slashed down sword was shining blue.

The fragments of the broken wing danced in the air, their surface reflected the figure of Reiri slashing up from below.

「With this──」

Reiri’s sword bounced up as though drawing the word V. Odin’s left wing flew in the air.

「It’s over!!」

Reiri took a stance with her sword held horizontally, and then she rotated her body instantly. Her long black hair drew a circle as though following her movement. Blue radiance drew a line on Odin’s waist.

Odin’t face was stiffened from receiving the impact.

「How can it──this me, is」

Reiri’s back kept being turned toward Odin, and she continued her enemy’s words.

「Yeah. This is, your loss.」

Odin’s upper body swayed violently. The upper body tilted feebly to the side and it fell down as though spilling over. The lower body fell on its knees and collapsed forward with slight delay.

When Reiri stood up, she stared at the collapsed Odin. There was no emotion on that face. The right eye was still opened looking up to the sky.

Odin who lost both her arms and only became upper body looked like a doll. Even though until just now she was an existence of a machine god that only looked like a human, it was mysterious seeing it like this.

Reiri let out a deep sigh and turned her back on Odin’s remains. She went towards the direction of Kizuna and the others.

「You all, are you okay?」

Kizuna took down the shield. His shoulders were heaving from his rough breathing.

「Yeah. I somehow managed protecting them.」

When Kizuna let out a smile of relieve, he suddenly felt a human presence behind him.

「Kizuna……」

He turned towards that voice.

Over there was the figure of a girl standing with shaky legs. A girl with her Heart Hybrid Gear destroyed, wearing only a ragged pilot suit.

「Aine……」

Kizuna called the name of the silver haired girl.

In her red eyes, tears were gathering, looking like they would overflow anytime.

Kizuna slowly approached Aine.

Even though he actually wanted to embrace her with his hands even for a second faster, it felt like her figure would vanish again if he rushed to her in hurry. He was scared of that. If he reached out his hand hurriedly, it felt like she would vanish like a figure that was reflected on the water’s surface.

Aine too, even though she also wanted to run and fly onto that chest, her body was trembling and unable to move for even a step.

She couldn’t wipe away the doubt whether the beloved person appearing before her eyes was just an illusion or not.

She endured this environment, slipped through many deathly battles, and desperately survived until now, all was for the sake to reunite with this person.

However for it to happen this suddenly, furthermore he was rushing to her side when her life was in danger, was there any story that convenient?

If this was a dream she didn’t want to wake up.

She prayed like that while staring at the figure of her beloved.

That figure was heading towards her while fearfully reaching out his hand.

Aine too reached out her fingertips as though getting sucked towards him.

That slender fingertip, was touched by Kizuna’s finger.

Was the finger touching hers really existing? She entangled her fingers to his to ascertain it.

Feeling the warmth of the palm, the fingertips of both sides followed along each other’s arm, touching to confirm that the body before their eyes was really a firm existence.

When Aine wrapped her palm on Kizuna’s cheek, tears overflowed from her red eyes.

「Kizuna……it’s really, you.」

「Aine-!」

Kizuna embraced Aine tightly. His hands circled to her back and he strongly pulled her towards him, embracing that body on his chest.

Aine also wrapped her hands around Kizuna’s neck and embraced him.

She would never let go again.

It was as though she was swearing so.

Even if after this the goddess of fate would play a prank, or the god would determine a future of separation, she wouldn’t let go no matter what. It was as though she was trying to convey that will of hers.

Gravel was staring at the figure of those two with a smile that looked like it would cry.

「Gravel……」

Aldea touched Gravel’s arm with a pained look.

「No……it’s fine.」

Gravel shook her head sideways, her short blonde hair swaying.

「It’s fine, like this.」

Gravel picked up her hat that fell on her feet, and then put it on deeply as though to hide the thing glittering on her eyes.

Aldea didn’t say anything. She only hugged Gravel’s arm and put her head on that shoulder.

「Everyone! Are you all safe!?」

At that time a girl wearing red armor alighted down from the sky. The long black hair spreading from the wind smoothly drifted like closing wings.

「Kizuna──ku…..n」

Himekawa saw Kizuna and Aine embracing each other and she lost her words.

That was the figure of comrades rejoicing with each other of their reunion──that would be the end of it if it was spoken like that.

However, Himekawa understood instinctually. The figure of the two embracing each other was filled with an emotion that was more than that.

And then, she also understood the difficulty of cutting in between that figure.

Slowly strength left her whole body.

「Ah……」

Suddenly, Neros that was enlarged from the Core reinstall vanished.

「E, eh? I──」

Himekawa was looking down on herself that only had her pilot suit left in wonder.

Stain like a rain *drip* fell on the ground under her feet.

──’Eh?’

The stain was increasing as though there was a rain falling.

「This……why」

She didn’t understand why tears were spilling down.

It wasn’t like her love was unrequited. She wasn’t rejected by Kizuna or anything. It was useless even when she persuaded herself like that. And then she was surprised of herself who was worrying about something like that rather than rejoicing that she was able to reunite with her comrades. What a petty and distorted woman she was. She felt all the more sad from that.

「……Hayuru?」

Aine lifted up the face that she buried on Kizuna’s chest and stared at Himekawa.

「Aine……san」

Aine’s eyes opened wide in surprise seeing Himekawa shedding tears. She slipped out from inside Kizuna’s arms and embraced her friend who was continuing to spill out tears without raising her voice.

「Hayuru! It’s Hayuru! I wanted to meet you!」

「A, Aine, san……」

Himekawa felt something hot on her neck. Aine was crying with her face laid on Himekawa’s shoulder.

Perhaps, she was rejected by Kizuna. Kizuna didn’t say it in words but, no──perhaps he wasn’t even conscious of it himself but, he was already choosing Aine.

She lost against Aine.

However she had no resentment towards her rival in love who was hugging her with shaking shoulders. Rather, her feeling turned gentle. The large breasts pushing on her, also the arms clinging on her back, they felt strangely lovely. The current Aine looked like a child that was liberated from terror and clung on her mother.

「Myy? What a really unexpected coupling this is.」

A blonde haired girl wearing blue Heart Hybrid Gear landed down with her thrusters jetting in reverse.

「Yurishia!」

Aine raised her voice happily.

「Co, couple!? Just what are you saying!」

Himekawa’s face turned red. Yurishia returned a smile to such Himekawa and she dispelled Cross’s armor. After the Heart Hybird Gear became light particles and vanished, Yurishia hugged Aine’s body strongly.

「It has been a long time hasn’t it~!! Aine!」

「Yurishia too……you look like usual.」

Aine also responded by hugging Yurishia’s body.

「I was also captured by a machine god you know? Though I was saved slightly earlier than Aine.」

「I see……Yurishia too.」

When Aine let go, she stared at Himekawa and Yurishia once more.

「Is there anyone else whose whereabouts is unknown?」

「No. Aine-san is the last one.」

「With this everyone is gathered☆」

Kizuna ruminated in happiness seeing the three’s harmonious situation. And the shoulder of such Kizuna was tapped by a hand.

「Nee-chan……」

「Kizuna, you did well protecting everyone.」

Her smile was a bit like a boastful big sister.

「What are you saying. It was Nee-chan who flew out alone and defeated the enemy alone.」

Reiri’s cheeks reddened and she went at a loss for words after groaning ‘uu’.

「No……I somehow sensed that these girls were in danger……that」

「That’s right~? We don’t get any turn like this.」

Yurishia who sharply caught the conversation between the two cut into the talk.

Aine stared fixedly at Reiri’s body once more as though she was licking around Reiri’s body with her gaze.

「Wha, what?」

「Commander……that Heart Hybrid Gear, it’s……」

Perhaps it was embarrassing from just looking at it, because Aine’s cheeks were blushing and she showed a twitching smile.

Zelcyone who was making a grave expression approached near.

「I don’t want to say it but, headmaster. Isn’t it better to think about your age?」

「Wha……!?」

Reiri’s face became bright red.

It was a Heart Hybrid Gear with excessively high exposure rate and cuteness that no one could object even if it was said to be the result of a little girl’s hobby. It wasn’t unreasonable for Zelcyone to say that.

Gravel also crossed her arms and groaned.

「Certainly……it’s amazing.」

Himekawa also smiled with a troubled expression.

「Honestly speaking I’m also embarrassed about Neros’s design but……compared to the commander……」

「Sh-, shut up all of you! Don’t pay attention to the design and other trivial things!」

Reiri turned her back on them with a huff in embarrassment.

‘Ooh’, Grace raised her voice.

「The back figure is also erotic.」

「Gu……」

Seeing his big sister whose mouth was turned down at corners with bright red face, Kizuna followed up while sweating.

「Ne, Nee-chan. I, I think, it looks good you know?」

Reiri glared at her little brother angrily.

「What is?」

「N, no, like it suit you or……it’s really sexy, or cute」

「……Hmph.」

Reiri turned on her heel and started walking.

「Kizuna, we’re going.」

「Eh? Where to?」

Kizuna hurriedly chased behind Reiri who was walking with long strides.

「We are collecting the configuration information Odin has.」

「Ah……I see.」

There was still something essential remaining to be done.

Kizuna and co. had the mission to obtain the world’s configuration information that the Deus ex Machina had to restore the world back to normal. Currently the part that they had taken back was half of the world of Kizuna and the others that was Lemuria and half of the world of Grace and others that was Atlantis. The other remaining halves should be in the possession of Odin and Thanatos each.

So to speak, if they recovered the configuration information from Odin, they would be able to restore either Lemuria or Atlantis.

「Wha──」

Reiri and Kizuna stiffened as though they were seeing something unbelievable.

Odin’s body wasn’t there.

There was nothing in the place where Odin was cut into pieces by Reiri’s sword and collapsed like a doll.

「Nee-chan, that!」

「!?」

Kizuna pointed at the sky. Ahead of his fingertip there was something strange floating. That object turned towards Reiri and spoke.

「Fu, fufufu……how unfortunate. No matter how many times you kill me, you won’t be able to win against me. Because──」

What was floating while emitting bluish white light was the mere shadow of Odin’s former self. The figure that lost both her arms and lower body──no, the arms that should be lost were mostly regenerated. Even her lower body was already regenerated until her knees. On the surface of her skin, a detailed pattern of light that looked like a circuit diagram was moving with hectic pace.

「You bastard……」

Something cold was creeping up on Reiri’s back. Cold sweat was flowing from all over her body.

「Even if I only have my head left, I won’t die. I’ll resurrect without fail! That is the reason this Odin is the strongest and reigns as a god! I am the death god, ruling over everything alive and dead, transcending over my own death!」

The body of Odin who was spreading her hands had three shining lights.

Reiri was staring at those lights with a grave expression.

「……That’s?」

Gems were emerging on Odin’s left and right breast and her abdomen. They were emitting light. From there light circulated to both her arms and both her legs, drawing a circuit diagram while regenerating her arms and legs.

『Reiri! Kizuna! Run away!』

At that time, Nayuta’s voice resounded inside their heads.

「Kaa-san!?」

Kizuna yelled. At the same time, the cloud above the sky split. From inside the thick cloud, the figure of a terrifyingly gigantic metal lump appeared.

Aine who was looking up to the sky raised a voice that sounded like a scream.

「Wha, what!? What is that!?」

Aine noticed after yelling that.

──Battleship Ataraxia.

The flagship of Lemuria & Izgard in the past that now became two kilometers in length. Its bow was pointing down as though it was falling to crash on the ground.

「Kaa-san! Just what are you planning to do!?」

Kizuna looked up to the sky and raised a voice that shouldn’t even reach. However, a reply returned properly inside his head.

『I’m going to crash Battleship Ataraxia’s Excavator into Odin!』

「WHAAAAAT!?」

Reiri yelled with a quavering voice.

Excavator was a machine for the sake of sailing between worlds by one’s own strength. It would excavate the wall of worlds and dig out a tunnel. Using it as a weapon was just too reckless, it was natural that Reiri doubted her own ears.

「Oi! If you do that and an Entrance of another world is created here what are you going to do!?」

『More important than that is to prioritize stopping Odin’s movement. According to the information from Queen Landred, that machine god is immortal.』

[──’Immortal!?]

Reiri and Kizuna spontaneously looked at each other’s face.

『But with this we will be able to buy a little time. Our escape will also finish in no time at all. All of you too, hurry!』

Kizuna opened a floating window and broadcasted his voice to everyone.

「Everyone get away from here as far as you can! The ship is falling here!」

「Wha-!?」

「Geez, what the hell-!」

Even while raising panicked voices, Himekawa and Yurishia equipped their Heart Hybrid Gears once more.

「Those who cannot equip their magic armor, please get on!」

Gravel and Aldea whose magic armor was destroyed by Baldur, their magic power exhausted and also unable to regenerate held on to Himekawa’s Neros.

「Aine-san, get on the back!」

「Got it!」

Aine grasped the Blade with her two hands and put her feet on the thruster unit on Neros’s waist as foothold.

「I’m good Hayuru!」

Red particle blew out from Neros’s thruster and then it flew high to the sky as though taking off from a runway.

At the other side, Elma, Lunorlla, Ramza of Quartum somehow succeeded in equipping their magic armor and each of them flew to the sky. Zelcyone and Clayda dashed towards Yurishia’s Cross and jumped on the huge Differential Frame in its back.

「We are going! Hold on tight!」

Yurishia yelled toward the two and Cross flew up vertically like a launched rocket. Beside Cross that was dashing up to the sky in one breath, Battleship Ataraxia was passing through.

Kizuna grabbed Reiri’s arm to hurry her.

「Nee-chan! We too!」

「……Yeah.」

The giant bow of Battleship Ataraxia was approaching right on top of them. The whole battleship’s bow was a rotating giant drill. That monstrous machine ejected light particles while falling to pulverize everything.

Reiri glared at Odin who was awaiting in the dropping point while soaring to the sky to fly backward.

Kizuna was following in full speed after his big sister who was flying away while still facing backward. Seeing his big sister’s face turning even graver, Kizuna looked back.

At that moment, Battleship Ataraxia’s Excavator crashed onto Odin.

Dazzling light danced boisterously with Odin at the center, distorting the scenery around. High pitched sound that pierced the ear and heavy bass sound that shook the body intertwined and resounded through the area.

The power to smash the wall of another world was causing an abnormal phenomenon in this world. The impact that was too fierce overshadowed Odin’s figure and also the bow of Battleship Ataraxia, covering them from view.

But, with that Odin shouldn’t get away unscathed. Kizuna and Reiri thought so.

Battleship Ataraxia was scattering flame around like a volcano while crashing on Odin altogether. And then, the ship’s bow finally collided to the arena.

It was like a giant building two kilometer high suddenly appeared. Battleship Ataraxia crushed its bow with its own weight, breaking as though sinking bit by bit. The hull distorted and small explosions ensued from the places where the armor was torn. It looked like it would collapse, but Battleship Ataraxia stopped still while towering high as though piercing the ground.

‘Was it falling with superb angle and balance?’ Kizuna thought. No, this was Nayuta they were talking about, perhaps this too was all within her calculation.

『Captain-! Are you injured desu!?』

Suddenly a floating window opened and Sylvia’s worried expression was projected there.

「Aah. This side is all right. Are Sylvia and the others also safe?」

『Yes! Ah, Sylvia just caught sight of captain desu!』

When he looked below, several helicopters and transports were lining up on the snow field. He could see a small silhouette looking up his way while waving her hand.

「I saw you. I’ll go down now.」

Kizuna cut off the communication and together with Reiri he descended down to the middle of the spot where the crews of Ataraxia were gathering. Himekawa and Yurishia had already landed there. Aine and the others were having a happy reunion with Scarlet and Masters along with Hyakurath and the others.

Scarlet noticed Kizuna and she rushed his way with a smile.

「Kizuna, how was it? Did Ataraxia hit Odin?」

「Yeah. But, we don’t know how much effect it has……a battleship crashed on her, so she won’t be unharmed, but if it’s Odin’s regenerative ability then she might recover to normal soon.」

Seeing Kizuna’s depressed face, the members of Masters who were always easygoing also showed dejected look. Scarlet also crossed her arms with a complicated look.

「I see……she isn’t defeated even with that……」

Henrietta fixed the position of her glasses while sighing.

「We don’t have any other method remaining……」

Leila floated a nihilistic smile and muttered self-depreciatingly.

「So in this world, there are also things that cannot be resolved with money……」

「Well, if it’s no good with Kizuna and Reiri, then we also won’t have any turn to make a go at it.」

「……Ditto.」

Clementine grumbled while Sharon agreed with her.

「Wha……what are you guys damn saying!」

A girl with body shape like a little girl yelled, her short twintails swaying.

「Gertrude?」

Scarlet stared at one of her members Gertrude with surprise.

Kizuna also spoke her name reflexively.

「Ger-san……?」

Gertrude advanced forward as though pushing her way through her comrades, then she looked up at Kizuna with a glare. And then she turned around and spoke towards her comrades.

「Until now, no matter how impossible it was boss would make it damn possible! It was because he didn’t give up even in absolutely hopelessly impossible situations that we too can still be here. And yet, what the hell you guys are doing acting like that!? We’ve got to be a damn assistance to boss you know? Making loser talk like that is just going to make us drag down boss!」

Henrietta looked down with a pained look.

「That’s, right……but……」

Clementine smiled with a troubled look, both her hands reached forward to calm Gertrude down.

「We, we get it already. But see, Gertrude. Thinking realistically, there is nothing we can do isn’t it?」

Gertrude yelled, unable to accept it.

「No such thing! Even for us, there is something we can──」

After speaking until there, Gertrude lost the words to continue.

「Something we can……」

Her wandering gaze naturally fell to her feet.

「I am, boss’s……」

Gertrude clenched her fist tightly, then her shoulders shook.

Kizuna gently touched that shoulder.

「Ger-san……thank you.」

「……Boss.」

Gertrude looked up at Kizuna with eyes that were holding back a lot of tears.

「Even though, boss had expressly told me that……sorry. I can’t, can’t do anything.」

Kizuna smiled and shook his head left and right.

「Ger-san is reliable just as I thought. I feel like I just got slapped while I was getting weak hearted, slacking off, and spoiled.」

「Eh? I, I didn’t do……anything.」

Kizuna smiled at Gertrude who was puzzled of what to say. It was a different smile from what he showed to Aine. But, it was a smile that was overflowing with deep affection.

「Thanks, partner!」

Kizuna thrust his fist toward Gertrude.

「Boosss……」

Gertrude cried, even so she pushed her fist forward firmly and answered Kizuna’s feelings. When their fists lightly touched each other, Kizuna turned on his heel and walked away with a long stride.

In order to create a temporary base, the research department staffs were moving around busily. He advanced by slipping through them. Then he caught one person among them and asked about the location of his mother.

Kizuna headed towards one of the temporary tents, opened the curtain hanging on the entrance and entered. The warm air of a heater welcomed Kizuna.

「──Kizuna.」

There were Reiri and Shikina Kei there. Both of them were sitting surrounding a bed. And then the one sleeping on that bed was his mother who was in the form of a little girl, Hida Nayuta.

「Nice timing. I was thinking to call you here.」

Reiri turned her gaze to Nayuta once more.

「Continuing our talk from before. Can you talk from the start one more time?」

Nayuta was sweaty and her eyes were half closed. She was forcing out a smile that looked obviously pained and opened her lips with effort. However, no voice came out.

──’Kaa-san.’

She was exhausted until this much.

Until now she was using magic power like it was water. Whether it was restoring Ataraxia, constructing large type battleships, improving Cores, and also creating a new Core, he thought that perhaps for Nayuta who became a machine god all of those were simple things that she did easily.

However──,

『I will talk in her place.』

A floating window opened and the face of Queen Landred was projected.

『I’m sorry. I wanted to make contact with headmistress and Hida-kun directly, but it looks like that at the arena, the communication system was also under Odin’s control so……I made contact with Battleship Ataraxia.』

Kei typed on her keyboard after hearing Landred’s talk.

『The one who instructed to use Battleship Ataraxia’s Excavator in order to obstruct Odin’s regeneration was Professor Nayuta. However it’s impossible to completely pulverize a machine god. Most likely, right about now Odin is in the middle of regenerating her body.』

Even after losing Battleship Ataraxia, it was nothing more than buying time. Kizuna realized Odin’s mightiness once more.

──’However, there is no way we can give up.’

「Is there some kind of way, Nee-chan?」

Reiri didn’t reply and urged Landred to continue.

「Landred. Tell us the information that you discovered in the ruin. That so called conquer method for Odin.」

「Conquer……method?」

Hope spread inside Kizuna’s chest.

「Something like that!? It exists!?」

Landred nodded. However her expression was grave.

『Yes. But, I think it’s really difficult.』

「Anything is fine! Teach us!」

『Odin’s regeneration ability is established from the power of the four secret stones embedded in her body.』

The process of Odin’s body regeneration that Reiri saw before this played back in her mind.

「Those things huh……certainly there were something like gems on her breasts and abdomen. However, where is the other one?」

Landred pointed at her own left eye.

『It’s under her eye patch.』

「I see……However, why is one of Odin’s eyes like that even though she has regeneration ability?」

『Yes. A record is left at the temple before she became a machine god. The left eye is the only place that Odin is unable to regenerate. By embedding the secret stone there, she obtains the ability to regenerate everything other than her left eye. In other words, if the secret stone in that left eye is destroyed, Odin will be unable to regenerate.』

Kizuna unconsciously clenched his fist.

「I see! Then, we have a chance!」

But Reiri’s face was still grave like before.

「……But, what about the other three stones?」

『Those are the imitation of the secret stone. The backup for the secret stone buried in her left eye. They are useless on their own, but by synchronizing them with the left eye’s secret stone, when the secret stone is destroyed, the imitations will function to regenerate the secret stone.』

「If we don’t destroy the backup in her breasts and abdomen first, the real secret stone cannot be destroyed……is it.」

『Yes. Besides the three backups are linked. They are regenerating each other, so it’s necessary to destroy the three simultaneously. But even if the backups are destroyed like that, the real secret stone in her left eye will surely regenerate them back.』

Reiri sighed at how troublesome it was.

「In other words, we need to destroy the three backups almost at the same time, and then destroy the left eye’s secret stone right after that. That’s how it is?」

『Correct. Saying it is simple, but carrying it out is difficult. The crystal wings that fired Baldur will annihilate every enemy. It’s unthinkable that we will be allowed to approach easily. Besides, the backups are buried inside the body other than when they are using the regeneration ability. It’s necessary to destroy some important part beforehand to make Odin use the regeneration ability.』

「I see……」

Then perhaps the battle just now was their once in a lifetime chance──Kizuna thought so, but he immediately denied it in his mind. The opponent wasn’t that naïve. They were careless after defeating her once. If at that time they approached her carelessly, they might have gotten killed instead.

Kizuna crossed his arms and asked the pondering Reiri.

「Then, how about destroying her wings first?」

「I guess……Kei. How fast her regeneration ability is?」

Kei typed on her keyboard and opened several dozen floating windows in one go. The video of Odin regenerating her body was projected there. The numbers of the analysis result were scrolling with amazing speed over the video.

『Based on our hypothesis from the recorded data just now, if she is concentrating to regenerate only her wings……most likely it will take five, six seconds until the wings are regenerated enough to fire Baldur.』

「First is how to dodge her Baldur and enter into her bosom huh. If I had my shield then I could still block Baldur but……」

She had already used up the shield that was her lifeline. To use it one more time, it was necessary to do Climax Hybrid with Kizuna. However, it was clear as day that there was no time for that.

「Then, what if I protect Nee-chan with Life Saver and get near her with brute force? Like that we can block Baldur to some degree. If I can take Onee-chan near Odin unharmed──」

「While you are defending against Baldur using Life Saver, I’ll destroy Odin’s wings……is that what you mean?」

「Yeah. Then when Odin starts regenerating, I’ll destroy the secret stone.」

However Reiri groaned with a difficult look.

「But there is no way that Odin will just stand quietly doing nothing. She will surely resist to protect the secret stone. It’s likely it will be a head-on fight against her. Destroying four spots instantly in the middle of such a fight……is that possible?」

Cold sweat oozed on Kizuna’s cheek.

As expected even that idea had a rough spot. No matter how much he thought, he couldn’t get positive proof that they would manage somehow. Most likely no perfect conquer method existed. In that case──,

「I’ll do it no matter what.」

Landred let out a heavy sigh.

『If both of you were weaker instead, you would be able to get near without Odin noticing though.』

Reiri made a dubious face.

「What do you mean?」

After asking that, Reiri recalled Odin calling her wings a coward.

『Odin is unable to be aware of existences with fighting strength below a certain level. For example, she notices the existence of Aine-san and Gravel-san, but she doesn’t notice the existence of the Quartum members. Because her objective is to steal the strength from strong people. And so, cutting of her awareness from anything outside her target must be more efficient for her. Although, that only stays true exactly because she has Baldur and her servant Fafnir.』

Kei typed on her keyboard swiftly.

『However if they were weak, they would be shot down by Baldur before getting near.』

『That’s also true.』

Landred smiled apologetically.

However Kizuna repeated the words Landred just said inside his mouth.

「She won’t notice……the weak, is it.」

「What’s the matter, Kizuna?」

「No……in that case, I think we might be able to make one more insurance──」

At that time, fierce explosive sounds shook the ground.

「──Just now!」

Kizuna and Reiri burst into action and exited the tent. Reiri yelled without delay.

「What happened!?」

However she understood even without hearing the answer. Battleship Ataraxia that was stabbed on the ground was crumbling down. And then Odin’s blue light, Baldur was rushing in the sky.

「Her regeneration is finished huh……there is no other option. Let’s go, Kizuna!」

「Wait just for a minute! I’ll go right away.」

Kizuna left those words behind and pushed his way through the crowd.

「Oi, Kizuna!」

Reiri kicked on the ground without hiding her irritation. After that she flew up to the sky instantly, she could see well the huge smoke from the remains of Battleship Ataraxia, and also a silhouette floating in the sky.

「Odin……」

She had returned to a complete state from the top of her head until the tips of her toes. The crystal wings glittering on her back were shining beautifully with a divine look.

It was unclear how much damage Excavator inflicted, but Odin shouldn’t be unharmed from that. Perhaps her whole body was pulverized with a part hurled to a different world. Even so Odin was revived.

「Truly……a god of death huh.」

Reiri mysteriously smiled.

「Nee-chan!」

A window opened beside her face and projected Kizuna’s face.

「Kizuna……are you prepared?」

「Yeah! I’ll go ahead. I absolutely will make it succeed!」

She could see a figure causing spray of snow on the ground from flying up. When it climbed until near Reiri, it moved to a level flight. Reiri followed closely behind that figure.

「Listen Kizuna! When we are five hundred meters from Odin, I’ll rush out. Drop your speed then and let me go ahead. Don’t mistake the timing. Defeat is not permit──」

Reiri’s eyes turned round when she stared at Kizuna’s back.

「What’s wrong, Nee-chan?」

──’I see.

So that’s your protective charm.’

A smile spontaneously emerged on Reiri’s face.

「No……stay at ease. Don’t fear defeat. We had been annihilated once already anyway. If it’s ends up no good, we are only going back to where we started.」

Kizuna nodded with his gaze still fixed on Odin.

──’Yes.’

If Nayuta wasn’t there, then everything would have ended that day when the war against Vatlantis was over anyway. From there they were able to live until this point.

Odin noticed them. The crystal wings growing on her back shined bluish white. Lights flying out simultaneously from the wings split into many, bent and folded several times, and then attacked Kizuna while drawing lines that fully covered the sky.

Without a shred of hesitation, Kizuna headed towards the thick stream of Baldur aimed at him.

「UOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!」

Kizuna deployed his Life Saver.

The Life Saver that was deployed when he was in a state of equipping Corruption Armament Nayuta was incomparably powerful when compared with the defensive power of the normal Eros. The fact was it was able to protect his comrades before this even while it got holes opened on it. Believing in that strength, Kizuna charged──the god’s sword and shield of magic power collided.

「Guah!!」

A terrific impact stabbed through his body. For a moment he lost sensation of the arms supporting the Life Saver. He was seriously worried whether his arms were torn off and sent flying somewhere, but before his eyes there were properly two arms stretched straight ahead.

──’Don’t let me down, my arms!’

Kizuna raised the thrusters’ output further and accelerated. Impacts were reverberating from both his arms, shoulders, rib cage, and internal organs.

This Baldur was greatly different from when he was protecting his comrades before this. The current crystal wings were aiming solely at Kizuna. This wasn’t like before when the attack was annihilating all living things in the vicinity of the arena. Now he had to block against Baldur alone in its entirety.

「Just this much! DON’T THINK IT CAN STOP MEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!」

Kizuna yelled to spur himself on.

Kizuna desperately endured Baldur’s concentrated fire. He forcefully repelled and pushed in using Life Saver to advance. Before his eyes violent lights were flickering from Baldur and Life Saver clashing against each other. Kizuna’s heart wouldn’t yield even against the pain and impact of which he didn’t know when they would end. Inside the Baldur that was like a waterfall, he advanced while telling himself that it would be just a little bit more.

──!!

However, the Life Saver was giving up earlier than Kizuna’s willpower.

A hole was opened in the shield of light that was made from magic power.

「Shit-!」

Baldur was opening holes in Life Saver one after another. Once the shield caved in once, holes were spreading as though the lid had been opened. The broken Life Saver flew to the back like glass fragments. The shield that was the only thing he relied on was fragilely crumbling. Baldur was invading as though aiming at the hole gouged on the shield.

「Goddamn it!」

Baldur that flew in from the hole mercilessly destroyed Eros’s armor.

「Guh……!」

His balance broke and his route was disturbed.

The might of the attack would destroy an average magic armor with one hit. If he didn’t have the power up from the Core’s reinstall and the Corruption Armament, he would have been shot down from a long time ago. However Kizuna’s flesh and willpower were being shaved away with certainty.

──’At this rate, I won’t reach!’

The moment he thought that, a white silhouette overtook him from his side.

「Nee-chan!?」

Reiri flew out earlier than planned. Baldur changed trajectory to aim at Reiri. Half of Baldur that was concentrated at Kizuna headed towards Reiri.

Zecros spread its wings before evading Baldur with terrifying speed and tricky movement. But, it was unable to evade everything.

「Uauh!」

Baldur was making burn marks on Zecros’s white armor. And then a hole was opened on its wing.

She should be heading toward Odin, but she was falling towards the ground.

However──,

「HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!」

From falling, it was a complete turn into a radical ascension. Baldur also sharply bent and chased from behind, but they didn’t reach.

Zecros run past from behind Odin’s back instantly.

The crystal wing was smashed apart along with a sound like breaking glass.

「One more time!」

It was the right wing that was cut apart just now. If she didn’t hurry it would be regenerated immediately.

Reiri made rapid roll midair and took a nose dive. But──,

Baldur was approaching right in front of her eyes as though it had been waiting.

「UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!」

Baldur pierced Zecros. Light arrows stabbed on Reiri whose movement was dull.

「Nee-chan!!」

Strength left Reiri’s whole body.

──’She got, me?’

Inside her dimming consciousness, Reiri stared ahead to where she was falling.

Odin was ahead of where she was falling.

That crystal wing, was where her hand could reach.

Reiri scraped up the last of her consciousness and put strength into the hand holding her sword.

「Ku……aAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!」

Right when they passed each other, Odin’s left wing was cut down.

「!? Reiri, you bastard-!」

Odin made an enraged look and glared at the falling Reiri.

However Kizuna was drawing near Odin in that opening.

「THIS ASSHOLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!」

Kizuna clenched his fist as though to brush away the Life Saver.

Right in this moment, Baldur was unusable.

On the breasts and abdomen of Odin who was starting the regeneration of her wings, blue gems were emerging.

Those were the vital spots he should aim at.

Right now was the chance of a lifetime while Odin’s attention was directed at Reiri.

Kizuna pulled back his arm.

──’EAT THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISS-!!’

「──!?」

Kizuna’s movement stopped.

No, he was stopped.

His body that tried to advance forward collided with something and he couldn’t progress.

「Wha……」

Kizuna was staring in disbelief at the spear stabbing his shoulder.

──Gungnir.

Even though it wasn’t anywhere visible until now.

The blood flowing from the shoulder was sliding along the spear. When he followed the going of that blood with his eyes, he found Odin’s figure holding the spear.

「Petty trick.」

In just an instant.

Furthermore she didn’t even make a stance beforehand.

It was as though only the result that the spear was stabbed on him had been decided beforehand.

No, before thinking about that, Gungnir should have been destroyed already, two of them.

「Aah, this spear is a part of my body you know? It will regenerate no matter how many times you snap them.」

──’Kuh!’

Odin put strength into her hand and stabbed Gungnir deeper into Kizuna’s body.

Kizuna couldn’t make any movement, like an insect that was fixed with a pin.

──’We came this far.’

Only a few seconds left until Odin’s wings were completely regenerated.

If the secret stones disappeared inside the body, this chance would be lost.

Kizuna already had no other move left.

For Kizuna that is.

But──there was the protective charm left.

The girl clinging on Eros’s back unit leaped out.

The mediocre girl jumped over Kizuna and twirled her body before Odin’s eyes.

But, Odin’s expression didn’t budge an inch.

Far from that, even her gaze didn’t move.

Even though there was an enemy in front of her.

Even though that assassin was an existence that threatened her important secret stone.

Odin was unable to recognize that figure.

Because the enemy trying to finish her off was just too powerless and helpless.

Kizuna yelled inside his heart.

──’Go! Ger-san!!’

Gertrude swooped down in front of the god.

There were two handguns in her hands,

Two worlds on her shoulders,

Hope on her back,

Mission in her heart,

Flame in her eyes.

She thrust forward her crossed arms with swift movement.

It felt like the time was moving terrifyingly slow.

Mysteriously she felt no nervousness.

Even the commander said it.

Stay at ease, don’t fear defeat.

Quick draw and trick shot were her signature moves.

Since the time she was going through rehabilitation in the hospital,

She had been training all this time to take back her intuition.

That was why, something like this was simple.

Just like shooting cans every time.

That was why,

──’Whether a can, or a god, there ain’t any difference.’

The particle guns in both her hands spewed fire. Without confirming the result, she instantly spread her crossed arms.

The gems on Odin’s breasts burst and vanished. When that happened, the triggers for the next bullet were already pulled. The lowered left hand fixed its aim at the abdomen, while the raised right hand toward the god’s left eye. The guns’ energy cartridge created magic power bullets one after another and fired them.

After firing a shot toward the abdomen, the left hand snapped up and lined up beside the right hand. The two guns parallel to each other drove in the bullet in order to gouge the god’s left eye.

The eye patch broke.

From under it, a beautiful blue gem shining with conspicuous radiance appeared.

But even that was also an instantaneous exhibition.

By the time her consciousness recognized its figure,

It was already smashed apart into pieces.

「……What?」

When Odin noticed the abnormality, Gertrude was already passing through in front of Odin, falling towards the ground. She vanished even from Kizuna’s view.

「Impossible……my regeneration, stopped?」

Odin looked around her own body with a disbelieving look. Before long, when her hand touched her left eye, her right eye opened wide in shock.

「This is, what in the world……you bastard, what did you do to me!? What kind of ability did you use!?」

Kizuna grasped Gungnir that was stabbed into his shoulder with his right hand, then put his left fist on it.

「There is no unnecessary human even if their ability is low. Even a powerless human can sometimes defeat even a god. That’s how it is.」

Eros’s energy was gathered into Kizuna’s left hand, and pink colored light whirled.

「Reincarnation!!」

The sorcery of curse exclusively for use against a machine god struck Gungnir. It was transmitted into Gungnir that was a part of Odin’s body, sending a virus to destroy the internal structure of the machine god into it.

「Gah!! Thi──this is!?」

Gungnir’s beautiful metal instantly rusted and withered. Odin let her hand go from the spear in panic. However it was already too late. Reincarnation was already starting to invade Odin’s body.

「Ku……my arm, it, cannot move!?」

The ability as a machine god was disappearing from Odin’s body. If she had the secret stone, surely she would be have been able to repair her body and overwrite the structure that was ravaged by the virus.

But, right now it was already impossible.

「K, kyaaaaah!?」

Odin raised a scream that was unlike herself. Her left arm broke down and crumbled.

「Do, don’t……my, strength, is slipping──」

The tip of her right hand, the toes of both her legs, they were starting to be dismantled by blocks.

「A, A, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!」

Odin lost even her power to float in the air and she was falling towards the ground.

They had to recover the world’s configuration information from Odin. Kizuna was going to chase after her.

But, there was no need for that.

「Kizuna! I recovered Odin. We are going back.」

Reiri and Gertrude caught Odin whose four limbs were continuing to break down.

Reiri made a soft smile and closed an eye.

「We damn did it! BOSSSS ──!」

Gertrude made a thumbs up with her greatest ever smile.

Part 2

「Kill me quickly! This is my loss! The loser is worthy of death!」

Odin who was carried in Kizuna’s arms violently struggled like a child.

Reincarnation annihilated most of Odin’s ability as a machine god from her body. Odin’s body that was specialized for battle crumbled and she was losing both her arms and legs. But, the crumbling still continued. At this rate, before they could take back the world’s configuration information, the whole of Odin’s existence would vanish. Even the world they were currently in might also disappear with her.

「What’s more, you are carrying me to this kind of ancient……the place where my past is enshrined……don’t put anymore shame of living on me!」

Odin was taken away to an ancient temple.

That was the relic from the era before Odin became a machine god, when she was still a living thing that was nearly human. It was nearby the landing place of Vatlantis’s flagship Oldium. It was also the place where Landred went looking for Odin’s weak point.

On the wall was the relief that praised Odin as the immortal goddess. There was a wooden altar placed before it. At the tabletop there was a magical pattern drawn, but Kizuna and the others couldn’t even begin to guess what it was. However, Landred ran her finger on it with no hesitation in her movement. Then, magic power light was spreading along the pattern engraved on the altar like flowing water.

「Hida-kun, please lay Odin down over here.」

Following Landred’s instruction, he laid Odin down on top of the altar shining red.

「What we are going to do after this is a ceremony to return Odin from being a machine god back into the state when she was called a goddess……then Hida-kun, please.」

「Yes.」

──Although he replied like that, but it was hard doing it while being fixedly stared at by Landred.

The method to return Odin into a goddess was similar like what was done to Hokuto and Osiris, by granting sexual pleasure, the emotion in regard of anything other than battle sleeping inside Odin would be brought back. Through that, Odin’s thought pattern should be amended.

And so, it was undoubtedly something imperative.

Kizuna switched his feelings and touched Odin’s breast.

「Warm……」

It was a bit unexpected. He had the image that Odin’s body was cold like ice, but in practice it was soft, and warm. It was a sensation that was not unlike a human female.

However when he saw the cut section of the vanished arm, he was made to realize that she wasn’t a human as expected. There wasn’t a flesh structure there, but a structure that was like the interlacing of transparent blocks. And then every single one was engraved with tremendously detailed pattern. Glittering light particles were circulating in them.

Kizuna took off the armor that looked like a dragon claw covering Odin’s breast. The dragon claw was shaped as though grasping the breast from above, the rampaging breast was held down by grabbing it. However the shape of the breast was mostly exposed. The only thing hidden was its tip. When it was exposed to the open, Kizuna spontaneously ooh-ed.

The part that was faintly colored was slightly swelling. But the top part that was normally protruding out was buried inside.

「? What are you planning to do?」

It seemed that Odin was unable to even imagine the meaning of what Kizuna was trying to do. From the beginning she was dressed almost naked. When he took off the thin armor on her crotch that was like a sticker, a fully naked girl was completed.

「Even though there is no significant meaning in removing that degree of defensive power……before that there is no fighting strength remaining in──」

Hidden under the sticker, the vestige of Odin as a living thing──the terribly sensitive sense organ hidden even further there was pinched by Kizuna’s finger.

「OHOoOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO♥♥♥♥♥♥」

That violent reaction caused not only Kizuna, but also Landred to open their eyes wide.

Odin bent her body backward with all her strength using her head as the support point. Her exposed throat and her stomach were trembling. Her tongue was stretching out from her opened mouth as though looking for salvation.

「M, my……it’s a technique exactly like in the rumor isn’t it…..Hida-kun.」

「No……this isn’t because of technique or anything……more like Odin’s reaction is too sensitive.」

Landred’s eyes gleamed seeing Odin convulsing on the altar. Even Kizuna understood that she was itching to do something.

「Err……Landred-san too……want to try touching Odin?」

「M, my? Is it alright?」

Her tone sounded troubled, but her face was smiling widely. Landred loosened her fingers while approaching Odin.

「Right. Something like a chance to touch an ancient god is something that you cannot find that easily♪」

She smiled cheerfully while grasping Odin’s heavy breast with both her hands.

「HIiIIIIiiihNNNNN♥」

Odin’s body jerked up once more.

「My, my my my♪ How very lively, she look like a pulled up fish♪」

「Sto-, stop-! Ju, just kill me, in, instantly-! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-NN♥♥」

「My my my, this is what will happen to a girl who said something like that you know? Ei-」

Landred kissed on the pink colored ring at the center of the breast.

「Kuu♥ AhhaAAAAAAAAAAANN-!」

「My my, this breast is really shy. Now, please come out.」

「HiiIIIIIH! Ah, sto, stop-, UWAaAAAAAAA!?」

Landred’s tongue excavated the tip hiding inside Odin’s breast. She used her fingers to spread out the ring, then slipped in her tongue from the gap. Gradually that most sensitive part lifted up its face from inside the depths of that breast.

「My♪ It came out.」

With a satisfied smile, Landred looked down on Odin’s breast that changed shape.

「Now, Hida-kun too, take care of that side.」

Prompted by Landred, Kizuna crawled his tongue on the breast which tip was still buried.

「Hiuh!」

Kizuna felt Odin’s shaking with his lips while sending stimulation with his tongue just like what Landred did.

「Uh! Hih! Sto, stop it!」

There was the sensation of the entrance coming apart inside his mouth. His tongue traced the gap as though to dig out.

「Ah♥ aAAAAAAAAAAAAHNN!」

Kizuna felt the shape suddenly changed inside his mouth. He sucked up the tip that showed its head so that it stretched out even further. Kizuna’s mouth let go when the hardness increased enough.

In front of Odin who repeated her heated breathing with a bright red face, two breasts with their shape completely changed were exposed.

「Ufufufufufu……it’s still not over yet. The real thing will be from here on you know? We will make you fully recall the joy as a living thing♥」

A dangerous smile emerged on Landred’s face.

Kizuna reflexively backed away with a wry smile. For some reason he got the hunch that there would be no turn for him to act here.

「Wait a second!」

A voice came from the entrance of the temple.

「Aine?」

When Kizuna turned around, there Aine, Grace, Zelcyone, and Quartum members were standing. It was the people who were forced to fight in this world as Odin’s warriors.

「What’s wrong? There is the important ceremony to return Odin back to her original state, so other than me and Landred-san no one is permitted to enter──」

Zelcyone readily moved forward ignoring such Kizuna.

「We are really indebted to that fellow after all……we too wish to express our thanks by any means.」

「Wa, wait, Zelcyone. This isn’t something to clear away grudge or anything like that.」

Zelcyone glared at Kizuna fiercely.

「Of course. Who said anything like that. We only want to express our thanks, that’s all.」

‘Who’s going to believe that!’ Kizuna wanted to retort.

However, in front of Landred who was caressing around Odin’s body happily, making excuses that this was a sacred ceremony also didn’t sound credible.

Zelcyone passed through beside the troubled Kizuna.

「Ah, Zel──」

After her was Aine, Grace, and then Quartum following behind with grave faces.

Kizuna gave up, fearing that there would be no end to it if he continued. Zelcyone stood beside Landred.

「Now then, queen. Allow us to participate too.」

Landred, whose face looked like she would drool, answered without stopping her hand that was groping the breast.

「Yes, please by all means. Geez, her reaction is too intense and innocent, it’s really fun. It’s going to become a habit you know?」

「Hohou. Then allow me to make my challenge by putting all the techniques of this me on the line.」

Zelcyone grinned sadistically.

Odin pleaded tearfully with a tired and gasping face.

「Doon’t……please, I’ll, turn strange……noo, more……」

Not only Zelcyone, everyone who were surrounding Odin felt shuddering pleasure rising up through their spine seeing her state.

「Nee-sama, looks like it’s worth it to do this.」

「Yes……in order to pay back the debt of getting locked inside this world for more than a year, it won’t be worth it if it’s not at least this much.」

Saying that Aine crawled her hand on Odin’s abdomen. Just by doing that caused the inside of Odin’s abdomen to tighten with *kyun* sound.

「HIiIIHNN♥ I, it’s hot, do, don’t touch anymore!」

Grace also reached her hand toward Odin’s crotch.

「Odin, there is no need to be reserved. After all you had harassed me really much before. Let me thank you amply.」

The four Quartum tickled the places like Odin’s side or armpit and so on.

「AHIiIIIIH!? I, I’m, fe, feeling, STRA-NGEEE!?」

Clayda grinned broadly while wriggling her fingers busily.

「How’s that? Can you still not see us even with this?」

「She cannot see us I think? That’s why, surely she won’t feel anything even if we touch her.」

Elma made a mean smile.

「I, I feel it-! I’m feeling it! Tha, that’s why pleaseeEEEEE」

「……」

Lunorlla quietly moved her fingertip.

「Uuu, it’s becoming interesting somehow! Hahaha, this is really that Odin right? She is really cute now.」

Ramza was laughing ‘ahahaha’ while touching subtly on places like the neck or ear.

「Haah……aan♥ Aau……uaa……ahee……♥」

Odin was merely continuing to gasp as though she lost her language faculty.

「Aa……the ring is」

Odin’s ring that was fixed on Aine’s wrist vanished as though melting.

「Oo, truly. The irritating shackle finally came off.」

Kizuna judged that it was the suitable time.

「Then it’s fine to stop this here right? Next is──」

Zelcyone glared fiercely at Kizuna.

「What are you prattling? The main event is from here.」

「Uh huh, that’s right. With the shackle coming off, means we can get serious with this.」(Grace)

Aine also cracked her finger joints.

「Now, we’re doing this thoroughly.」

──’This is no good huh.’

And then this pleasure hell continued until one hour later when Odin was reincarnated as a goddess.

Chapter 2 – The Enemy That Must Not be Defeated

Part 1

「Is that so……I did something like that.」

Odin looked down sadly.

Kizuna, Reiri, Kei, Landred, and also Gertrude were conversing anew with Odin who regained her self.

Odin whose thought patterns were returned to a state like in the past was literally a changed person. Her features became gentle, and her personality, her thoughts, her speech and conduct were also leaving no trace of the severe ruler before this. Odin who took off her armor and wore a thin and elegant cloth was truly endowed with the style of a goddess.

Reiri stole a glance at Landred beside her.

Odin’s figure had vague similarities with Queen Landred. It must be because things like Odin’s castle and outfit design were similar to Baldein that Landred governed.

And then, this world of Odin also accomplished a change in appearance.

The thick clouds cleared up and the light of the sun shined in from the sky, while the snow was starting to melt. The snow piled up on the temple was also completely melted, the overflowing water was flowing down the slope, making a river. The sun and river melted the snow falling and piling up on the ground, the glacier became a large river, and the frozen sea was flowing in.

Greenery sprouted from the land that appeared underneath the snow, the forest of withered trees also took back its vitality and changed into a verdant forest.

Odin’s residence in the past, the temple that was already a ruin was also resurrected like a young tree. Just like how trees grew, the temple’s pillars and walls were lengthening up by themselves. The pillars grew up and leaves were growing from them. Their figure was like a big tree.

「The me at that time……those who win and survive a struggle for existence are superior, and the inferior only stand in the way of evolution──that was what I was thinking.」

‘Even though that wasn’t my intention’, Odin muttered.

Landred turned a mournful look at Odin.

「How did it turn out like that……?」

Odin shook her head sideways with an apologetic look.

「Somewhere in the way, I became weird. At first it was a small change. While I was hastening the evolution and putting out improved plans, before I realized, it was turning into an extreme method……eventually, I prioritized the overall worth and merit and the individual worth became something light.」

When Odin smiled faintly, Reiri and Kizuna, and then Gertrude who was stiffening from nervousness besides them were staring at her.

「However, exactly because there are diverse existences and worth that various ways of fighting are created. For me who was focused only on an aspect of strength to reach the limits and defeated by someone who I thought to be unnecessary might be only natural in a sense.」

「Eh……no, that……」

Gertrude was at a loss of how to reply.

「I’m planning to remake this world into a world where various sense of values can coexist together from now on. Really thank you very much.」

Odin cast down her eyes as though bowing. She then raised her voice ‘ah’ as though noticing something.

「I have to return this back.」

A red crystal was placed on the palm of the hand Odin held out. That was the configuration information of the world of Kizuna and the others, Lemuria, and the world of Grace and the others, Vatlantis. The thing that was the collection of a part of that.

Landred gestured for Reiri to take it. Reiri moved towards Odin and picked up the crystal while feeling somewhat nervous.

It was unclear just from seeing whether it was Lemuria’s data or Vatlantis’s. However, with this one of the worlds should be able to be restored as before.

「Odin, there is one thing that I want to ask.」

Reiri questioned the one eyed goddess. Odin tilted her head slightly and smiled gently.

「What could it be?」

Reiri was at a loss for words for a moment. This goddess was an opponent who she faced in a mortal combat just now, it was hard to believe this situation so suddenly.

「……We are going to defeat Thanatos after this. But that machine god possesses tremendous strength. I want to ask if there is something, a weak point or a conquer method against her.」

「That’s……」

Odin frowned with a troubled look.

「I think it’s something really difficult.」

「We know that. That’s why I’m asking you who is a machine god like her and also her comrade.」

「Let’s see……if it’s all of you, then perhaps you will be able to defeat her.」

Hope grew inside Kizuna’s heart hearing that.

「But, at that time it will be the time that spells the end of all worlds.」

──’Eh?’

Kizuna stared at Odin’s face in shock. Reiri also lost her words from surprise. She pulled herself back together and asked.

「What does that mean? Say it in a way we can understand.」

「Let’s see, for example……」

Odin put forward her palm. Then white cold air gathered above her palm and a lump of ice appeared. When she flipped her palm, the ice lump fell on the floor and broke.

「When my hand let go, the ice fell to the floor.」

Reiri frowned. She couldn’t understand what Odin was going to say.

「That’s because there is gravity right?」

「That’s right. And then if a force is added from the fall, it will break. And then if heat is added, it will become water and evaporate.」

The lump of ice on the floor melted in the blink of an eye and became water.

Kei typed on her keyboard expressionlessly.

『Simple physical law. There is nothing particularly mysterious about it.』

「This is an example. This kind of law rules over this world. But what if this kind of law didn’t exist in this world?」

Kei’s fingertips stopped above her keyboard.

「This world, and also your world. Inherent laws exists in all the worlds. That kind of law defines each world, forming the world by carrying out decision like this. The world moves by that kind of rule. If that kind of rule didn’t exist, all worlds will become simple chaos, unable to maintain existence.」

Kei operated her keyboard while sweating coldly.

『I understand what you want to say. If all the laws are gone, a world won’t be able to maintain their form. Any kind of substance won’t be allowed to exist. But, what is the relation between that and Thanatos?』

Odin closed her eyes.

「All the rules of our world──are created and maintained by Thanatos.」

「──What?」

Reiri’s face stiffened.

「Even if for argument’s sake you are able to defeat Thanatos, at that moment your world and also my world will surely be annihilated.」

Kizuna recalled Nayuta’s words.

Most likely after her chance meeting with Thanatos, she noticed that fact.

He recalled her words that she whispered almost inaudibly.

『……No matter what kind of method we use, it’s impossible to defeat Thanatos.』

Part 2

The Battleship Oldium was advancing through the space at the interstice with another world.

The Battleship Ataraxia that was destroyed from the fierce fighting against Odin was abandoned, while the Golden Dragon that received great damage from its emergency landing and had difficulty to sail was also similarly abandoned.

Odin shared some magic power with Nayuta, but the best she could do was repairing one ship.

「But, I’m recovering my consciousness slightly. I think I will be able to walk after some more time passes.」

Nayuta raised half her body from the bed and slurped roasted green tea.

Kizuna who was sitting beside the bed was staring at her with wonder.

He wondered, in the end, just how did he feel about his mother. It was hard to forgive her when he remembered about the past. However, deep in his heart, looking at her figure recovering some vitality like this caused him to be undeniably relieved.

「What’s wrong, Kizuna?」

Nayuta was looking up at Kizuna in wonder.

「A, aah……just thinking, you’re looking well.」

Nayuta smiled widely. That smile was the smile of a little girl, without any worry in it.

「Yes, fortunately. It’s thanks to Odin. I was also able to talk with her a little.」

Reiri who was standing at the other side of the bed across from Kizuna was crossing her arms while looking down on her mother.

「Talk? I didn’t see anything like that……」

‘Fufufu’ Nayuta leaked out a chuckle and stared at Reiri boastfully.

「Fellow gods are able to talk secretly you know♪」

「……What kind of conspiracy is that huh?」

「It’s still a secret. In order to trick the enemy, you first start from your ally, there is that kind of saying right?」

Reiri’s face scowled hard.

「I don’t get your reason for tricking your ally. However, the point of how to trick the enemy is important. Do you have some kind of plan?」

Nayuta stared still at the teacup she was holding and put it on her mouth one more time.

It was unclear whether she was putting on an air or that she found it hard to say. Kizuna spoke out something that diverted a little from the topic.

「……Kaa-san, you noticed Thanatos’s true nature didn’t you?」

「Yes. Previously when we fought Thanatos.」

「Is there nothing else that we can do anymore?」

Nayuta reached out her hand to the table beside her pillow and put the teacup there.

「We haven’t lost all options.」

Kizuna’s body unconsciously leaned forward.

「Please think about it. Any kind of method is fine.」

「──For example, we can stay in Odin’s world without leaving it and live using that world as our new home. In fact Odin invited us exactly with that offer you know?」

Even Reiri heard that for the first time.

「Are you considering it?」

「──No.」

Reiri shook her head. Even if she considered it, it was unthinkable that she would accept that invitation.

「Other than that?」

Nayuta looked down and stared at her own hands that were joined together on the blanket.

「There is one more idea. It’s a bit troublesome, but with this method surely the laws of all the worlds can be kept preserved while making Thanatos powerless.」

Kizuna’s eyes were shining with the light of hope.

「Really!? If there is such a way then tell us earlier!」

「But, for that, Kizuna and──Reiri’s cooperation is necessary.」

When she lifted her face, Nayuta stared at Reiri’s eyes.

The eyes of the mother looked like they wanted to say something. As though there was some kind of truth they wished to bring to attention. Reiri felt like that.

「──The situation is like this. I’ll listen to whatever you say. Try saying it.」

Part 3

The insides of Oldium that had a total length of two thousand meters was more vast than imagined. Inside the great battleship that could even be called as a flying palace, there were facilities prepared as though to move the government system of Vatlantis in its entirety there. But even with that, there was still unused areas in the interior.

One of the several conference rooms was exclusive for Vatlantis’s emperor and her aides. Although it was at the smallish side, it was an extravagant meeting room. The important people of each world were gathered there.

From Lemuria, Hida Reiri, Kizuna, Shikina Kei.

From Vatlantis, Grace, Zelcyone.

From Izgard, Gravel.

From Baldein, Landred.

And then Aine──she was sitting beside Grace, closer to Vatlantis than Lemuria.

It wasn’t Aine who chose that seating. However, the events flowed naturally like that and no one complained about it.

In reality Vatlantis’s emperor was Grace, but formally Aine was the legitimate successor. Grace herself also recognized that she was only a replacement until her big sister returned.

Until now they only concentrated to escape from Odin’s world, and there was no leeway to think of such a matter. But, they were able to safely escape and reunite with everyone, so the worry that Aine almost forgot showed up once more.

Each faction was sitting clumped with their own with the round table divided into four parts. Aine’s eyes met with the eyes of Kizuna who was sitting at the opposite side. Aine immediately averted her gaze.

──’What am I doing?’

Reiri’s sharp voice resounded and Aine straightened her seated posture.

「First I want to make a report regarding the present situation. Currently we are in the middle of formulating a strategy for the future in cooperation with Hida Nayuta. We will be able to publish the summary of it tomorrow.」

Zelcyone raised her voice at the timing when Reiri’s words cut off.

「Are you saying that you’ve got a prospect to beat Thanatos?」

Reiri paused for a moment as though ruminating that question.

「──That’s right.」

The attendees at Vatlantis’s side stirred.

「Of course, there is no guarantee that it will work. I cannot deny the point that we won’t know the result until we try it. But, it’s worth a try.」

Zelcyone faced Grace and Aine and spoke whisperingly.

「──Then, perhaps it will be all right to wait for the detailed explanation.」

「But, to advance our consideration, there are two points that we wish to confirm to you ladies.」

Grace frowned at Reiri’s words.

「What are they?」

「First, we want to borrow the emperor’s exclusive villa in Oldium as well as the unused area adjacent of it.」

「Oo, my villa is it.」

An exclusive villa for Grace was built by making use of the vast space inside the ship. It was a moderately large white palace with a garden around it that was planted with lawn and trees. Furthermore there were artificial ponds and a river that were circulating clean water.

「You can use it as you like. However……the unused area is just an empty lot you know? Just what are you going to use it for?」

Kei immediately typed on her keyboard.

『We’re going to make an artificial beach and sea. Also, we will install the facility of wide area type Love Room that had its development halted in the experiment stage previously. The plan is to make the whole area including the villa to be usable as a Love Room.』

Landred spontaneously leaked out a smile.

「My my, you are planning something really outrageous there. I will be looking forward for tomorrow♪ Everyone too, how about we trust headmistress here and leave this to her? Okay?」

Landred’s speech and conduct was still mixed like when she was at Ataraxia Academy that Nayuta created. She wasn’t fixing it at all, so the surrounding also stopped criticizing her every time.

「I have no objection.」

Grace easily replied, then next everyone’s gaze gathered on Gravel.

「Izgard is also the same. We will leave it to Reiri.」

Reiri nodded then she spoke the other matter that she wanted to confirm.

「We have defeated three machine gods. Now we have recovered three fourths of the worlds’ configuration information. With that, at present it’s possible to revive Atlantis.」

Reiri looked around at attendees.

「Here the Atlantis side can adopt the choice to return the world of you ladies back to normal and pull back from the fighting.」

Aine opened her eyes wide in surprise.

「That’s……」

「──Right.」

Grave tightened her lips into a thin line. Reiri stared at their expression and continued talking.

「We are going to take back the configuration information of Lemuria from here on, and then defeating Thanatos. That’s why knowing that I will ask this. Will you ladies still fight together with us from here on too?」

Reiri stared at the Atlantis force with a serious gaze. Receiving that gaze, the participants of the Atlantis side all made a grim expression.

「Grace……」

Aine called her little sister’s name worriedly.

Grace purposefully let out a large sigh and then acted arrogantly with an exasperated air.

「……Here I was thinking just what were you going to say……truly, good grief. If that’s our intention then we would have already said it a long time ago.」

Aine’s expression snapped into a bright smile.

「Then, Grace!」

「Nee-sama too, what are you worrying about? Lemuria is Nee-sama’s second hometown. Besides it’s also Nii-sama’s hometown. In the past we fought each other, but right now we are fellow comrades fighting together. Also……」

Grace glanced at Kizuna.

「This is atonement for the enormous damage we brought to Lemuria. We will show you how we save more than what we destroyed with our strength.」

「──I see. Our thanks.」

And then this time Reiri turned to Gravel.

「What about Izgard?」

Gravel too shrugged her shoulders, as though to say ‘what are you saying at this late hour’.

「Of course, we will also fight. After all this for an important──」

Gravel unconsciously turned her gaze to Kizuna.

Kizuna was also staring at Gravel. Their gazes clashed with each other.

Gravel suddenly smiled.

「……friend’s sake.」

Reiri smiled in relieve.

And then she stared at Landred at the end.

「Baldein will……」

‘What are you going to do?’ Reiri was going to say, but Landred stayed quiet and closed one of her eyes.

Part 4

That night, Aine was spending her time in Grace’s room. Actually she wanted to talk with Kizuna by spending the whole night──she was thinking like that, but a prohibition order was given from Reiri.

Kizuna had to prepare for the mission tomorrow, and then they would also get summoned early in the morning.

「I wonder what is the strategy that will be disclosed tomorrow?」

Grace was combing her big sister’s hair with a comb while humming.

「Hm? About the headmaster’s talk is it. Who knows? We will know it for sure when tomorrow comes.」

「……Hey, you just called her headmaster.」

「Oo, it’s still coming out intentionally.」

Saying that, Grace laughed in humor.

‘Muu’, Aine puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction.

「Was it that fun? That, Ataraxia Academy.」

「That was just extremely fun!」

‘Muuuu’, Aine was getting more and more into a bad mood.

She heard about it since when they were in Odin’s world. She heard that everyone was going to the same Ataraxia Academy that Professor Nayuta created whether they were from Lemuria or Atlantis.

When Gravel and Grace were making the atmosphere lively by talking about their memory there, Aine could do nothing except listen. She was harboring a really complicated feeling of alienation.

It felt like she was a student who was the only one that couldn’t join the outing, unable to join in with the nostalgia talk, and then felt lonely.

However she found it quite hard to imagine that academy’s daily life.

She understood that Reiri was the headmaster.

However it was already impossible to imagine when it came to the point where Nayuta was the board chairman.

Inside Aine, the only image that she had about Nayuta after she became a machine god was only the time when they were locked in a mortal combat with her. She wondered why from there it then turned out like that.

When she tried asking the others, it seemed that Nayuta was putting suggestions into their minds so that they wouldn’t think of it as unnatural at all.

Nevertheless, it was amazing how Grace was attending the class of second year first group in her place.

The best part was Zelcyone. That captain of the Imperial Guards was the student council president of Ataraxia of all things. It was funny no matter how many times she thought of it.

「What’s wrong, Nee-sama? You are making different faces by yourself there for a while.」

「I, I’m not!」

However, before this she saw Hayuru and Hyakurath talking harmoniously with each other as though they had been best friends for many years, the two were giving instructions naggingly to Gravel and Masters, and they were awfully good at looking after others.

Seeing everyone’s exchange, Aine felt for real that the thing called Ataraxia Academy really existed, and that everyone was spending time together there.

Furthermore it was together with Kizuna.

Surely that might be something that could be called as the springtime of youth that Aine didn’t know about.

「How nice……」

「Did you say something, Nee-sama?」

「No. It’s nothing.」

Grace finished combing Aine’s hair. Next Aine unraveled Grace’s hair and started brushing.

「However Nee-sama, when the next battle is over, we can finally return back to Vatlantis.」

「Yes, you’re……right.」

「But, there is something that I’m curious about.」

「What?」

Aine took Grace’s pink hair into her hand and put the brush on it. Grace’s hair was really pretty, the brush was sliding through it smoothly without getting stuck.

「What will happen with the Entrance to Lemuria?」

Aine’s hand spontaneously stopped.

「Eh?」

「Genesis was restored. Our world won’t get pulled to Lemuria’s magic power anymore. Then, won’t the AU Collision between our worlds not happen?」

──’How can that be?’

「Why is it like that? I don’t understand anything like why AU Collisions happen though.」

「Before this Nayuta explained it to us. AU Collisions are caused because of Atlantis’s magic power drying up.」

「He, hee……is that so.」

But if that was the case.

Going freely from Lemuria to Atlantis and vice versa would become impossible?

「If there is Oldium, it’s possible to move between worlds, but this too is using Nayuta’s power. Seeing her weakening state, then perhaps the day where Oldium also becomes unusable will come.」

「But, if that happens……」

One would be forced to choose between Lemuria or Vatlantis.

At that time,

Which world is it that she should choose?

「Will Nii-sama……come to Atlantis for us?」

「Ki, Kizuna? To Vatlantis?」

Aine asked with a surprised face.

「Why is Nee-sama that surprised? Because isn’t it like that? Nee-sama is the legitimate emperor of Vatlantis. If Nii-sama became the husband of such Nee-sama……it’s only natural for him to come to Vatlantis……it should be.」

‘I……with Kizuna? In Vatlantis?’

「If,

Nii-sama came to Vatlantis……I’ll feel happy.」

Aine noticed that her hand stopped moving without her noticing. She moved her arm once more and continued the brushing.

「You’re……right. It might be great, if that happens, right……」

She replied like that.

However, Aine didn’t understand herself, what she was wishing to happen.

Part 5

The afternoon of the next day, Kei came to pick up Kizuna in his room.

「Shikina-san……thanks for your hard work.」

There was a heavy shadow under her eyes. It was obviously the face of someone pulling an all-nighter.

『Kizuna. You finished preparing?』

「Preparation……even if you called it that, but there is nothing that I particularly have to bring isn’t it?」

『None. It’s fine if you come bringing only your body.』

It was a way of saying that made him a bit creeped out, but Kizuna didn’t think of it deeply and replied.

「Then, I’m ready.」

『You have also drunk the medicine given to you yesterday on time?』

「Yes, I drank it properly since yesterday.」

『You were told that it’s strictly prohibited to masturbate but……you didn’t do it?』

「I didn’t!」

Kei turned her back on Kizuna and started walking.

『Follow me.』

Kizuna exited his room and followed behind Kei. When they exited into a wide passage, a small commuter was staying there. It was a simple automatic vehicle to travel inside the ship.

After Kizuna entered into the passenger seat, Kei grasped the handle and activated the commuter. He was a bit worried if she was driving sleepily, but the commuter advanced without trouble.

After a while an excessively gorgeous door appeared and the commuter stopped.

『This is our destination.』

「So this is Grace’s villa?」

『Right. The next mission will be carried out here.』

Kei and Kizuna got down from the commuter and walked towards the door. Guards were standing at both sides of the door. When they saw Kei, they put their hands on their ear and said something. It seemed they were communicating with inside.

There was a metallic sound *click* sounding several times and the door was slowly opening.

Kei calmly entered inside, so Kizuna also followed behind her.

There was another door inside. Kei moved aside as though deferring the path to him.

『Then, enter.』

Kizuna felt dubious, even so he obediently followed her words.

He grasped the handle and pushed open the door.

「──Wha-!?」

He was taken aback by the sight suddenly spreading out before his eyes.

Naked bodies were dazzlingly standing before him.

Furthermore, it wasn’t just one or two.

The number was roughly twenty from a quick glance.

The naked girls were beautifully forming a single horizontal line.

The girls lining up were familiar to him, the girls who had Heart Hybrid Cores residing inside their bodies.

But their attire wasn’t their usual ones.

Everyone put on a matching costume.

It was the outfit that drew out the beauty of the flesh to the maximum.

So to speak, all nude.

There wasn’t a single thing on their body that had the purpose to hide the body.

What they were wearing were a golden necklaces and bracelets, waistlets, and so on. Only accessories that in the end were for the sake of enhancing beauty.

If there was one thing that could possibly be included in the category of clothes, it would be the high-laced high-heeled shoes on their feet.

The naked bodies that would make him hold his breath if even just one was in front of him.

More than twenty girls in that kind of appearance were lining up there.

It was truly a spectacle.

And then, it was just too unrealistic.

「──……」

Kizuna’s mouth stayed opened without being able to say anything.

He was merely, merely had his sight stolen by the beautiful bodies of the girls.

Everyone was staring at Kizuna, so his gaze naturally met theirs when he was staring at them one by one.

Aine who was looking slightly embarrassed. Himekawa who was trembling with a bright red face. Yurishia who was sticking out her chest with an expression overflowing with self-confidence. Even the small Sylvia and Ragrus were in the line up with similar appearances.

Furthermore Masters, and even Grace, Zelcyone, and the Quartum from Vatlantis’s forces were standing in the line with inflammatory outfits.

Hyakurath who was desperately fighting against her shame, and Mercuria supporting her from the side. The smiling wryly Gravel and Aldea.

There was no sense of reality at all from the sight before his eyes.

Kizuna doubted his own eyes many times.

「E……everyone, why are, you lining up……naked……」

「So you’ve come, Kizuna.」

He could hear Reiri’s voice. Relieved feeling was spreading inside Kizuna’s heart.

「Thank god, Nee-chan. This is──」

Reiri who was dressed the same as the other girls came from the inner door. Those large breasts that were really unlikely for Japanese genes were bouncing each time she was taking a step.

「Ne-……!?!!!?」

Behind her, Nayuta and Landred who were in the same appearance as expected also arrived after Reiri.

Nayuta was already an organism outside of humanity……but even though he understood that, that visual was too brutal. It was fine to call it a crime.

And then Landred’s explosive breasts were rampaging like different organisms altogether. That hugeness caused even the eyes of the lining up girls to chase after it with shocked expressions.

Reiri walked until she was in front of Kizuna before stopping.

「Are you surprised?」

「Surprised……rather! Ju, just what is this!? Just what in the world is everyone doing!? I didn’t hear about something like this at all!」

After coming back to his senses from the initial surprise, he suddenly fell into panic next. Kizuna was having cold sweat while rattling on.

Nayuta who appeared from behind Reiri hid half her face with a fan and bent her body.

「I understand that you are excited with your mother’s sexy body, but calm down a little Kizuna.」

「There is no way I’m excited by something like that! But, Kaa-san……you can walk already?」

Nayuta abruptly narrowed her eyes.

「Actually I still need to rest, but there is no way I can be absent from this mission.」

「Mission you say……」

With a ‘hah’ Kizuna suddenly recalled and spoke.

「Don’t tell me……you mean Thanatos’s conquer strategy!?」

Reiri crossed her arms. Her large breasts were pressed to each other, emphasizing their existence further.

「There are two days and two nights in the ship’s time until we arrive at Thanatos’s world. During that time, you are going to do Heart Hybrid with everyone here a lot!!」

「!?!!!?!!!?!!」

Kizuna lost his words once more.

「My my, how about calming down? Hida-kun.」

Landred gently talked to calm Kizuna down.

「See, there was something like this before, right? The ceremony in order to restore Vatlantis’s Genesis……do you remember?」

‘Come to think of it’ ──Kizuna recalled about that time.

They once carried out a ceremony with a great number of people in order to restore Genesis. At that time, the female students of Ataraxia were completely disarrayed due to the aphrodisiac aroma effect inside the tent.

「That’s why, it’s okay, you don’t need to be that worried. Hida-kun will be all right if you do it like usual, so be confident okay♡」

However, at that time, he was only doing Connective Hybrid with the sister pair of Aine and Grace in another room. What they were going to start right now smelled far more dangerous than that time.

「Bu, but two days? Continuously?」

Reiri shook her head.

「Don’t be stupid. No way we can make you do something that absurd.」

Kizuna let out a sigh of relieve.

「Ain’t that right……」

「You’ll get time for eating and sleeping at least.」

「That’s the only exception!?」

「What? You aren’t satisfied?」

Reiri poked at Kizuna’s chest straightforwardly.

「Uu……」

Kizuna’s cheeks reddened and he averted his gaze.

Then, this time breasts lining up in a row entered his eyes.

Breasts of twenty two people. A total of forty four individual breasts were forming a line.

Shape, size, and also skin color, they were all varied. The variation was truly rich. Even the size of the colored circle, also the shape of the pointing out part at the center, everything was different for each person. And then, they were jiggling invitingly each time someone stirred.

Kizuna continued to stare at the row of the lining up girls as though his heart was stolen by them.

「……I’ll say this before hand, Kizuna. We aren’t fooling around here.」

The cold voice of his big sister caused Kizuna’s gaze to turn back towards Reiri as though he had just been slapped.

「Err……in other words, we are going to accumulate power ups and magic power single-mindedly in these two days, and then use those to clash with Thanatos?」

「That’s not all. This is something that amplifies the concept of Connective Hybrid. It’s Connective Hybrid with the twenty two people lining up here plus us three, a total of twenty five people! This is exactly the last trump card of mankind that breaks through the limit of common sense──」

Reiri’s eyes gleamed fiercely.

「The 『Polygamy RemodellingHarem Hybrid』!!」

Kizuna gulped audibly.

「Ha……Harem……Hybrid?」

Kei’s window materialized in front of Kizuna’s eyes as though to answer his question.

『Further supplementation』

Her existence was almost forgotten because of the tremendous shock, but Kei was standing behind Kizuna.

『Anyone other than the related people are forbidden to enter this villa and the surrounding area. This space is completely isolated. In these two days, this area will be filled with magic power by making this area a completely independent space. With the thickening of magic power’s density, even more effective power up can be expected. Also, the effects of Love Room will also be magnified due to this area’s structure.』

「Love Room……I see, this room is──」

Kizuna stared once more at the interior of the extravagant room and the half naked girls.

『No. A wide area Love Room is installed, but the building and clothes in this area are real. This is a paradoxical experiment where reality will invade within possible scope into the Love Room that was used to do what is impossible in reality. This Love Room’s function is to enhance reality and elevate sexual feelings. It’s used to supplement the part that is impossible in reality. So to speak it’s a hybrid of imaginary and reality. A Love Room that expands reality.』

「I, is that so.」

Kizuna’s understanding couldn’t catch up with the explanation that Kei talked passionately, but he nodded for the time being.

『With the cooperation of Queen Landred, the sorcery technology of Baldein is also applied. Things like aphrodisiac scent and nectar, things that are used in sorcery are also worked in together with the Love Room’s remodeling.』

──’I see…….in short, she means that all the technology and techniques until now are all put into this.’

Kizuna gradually recovered his calm.

And then, he also became able to believe that this wasn’t a strategy that was thought of simply, but the best method that they could possibly think of currently.

「But……speaking realistically, is something like a Harem Hybrid possible? Partnering with twenty five people is just……」

Reiri shrugged and answered.

「As expected it’s impossible for everyone simultaneously. But, we have these two days for that. During that time you will do Connective Hybrid with as many people as possible and with every kind of combination successfully!」

Kizuna pondered with a serious look.

「But, mutual trust is necessary in Connective Hybrid. Even combinations have a limit.」

「Luckily or unluckily, the experience in Ataraxia Academy became a plus for that. After all, compared to before, the intimacy between each faction has become incomparably high.」

When Reiri said that, Nayuta puffed out her flat chest with a triumphant look.

「Isn’t that right, isn’t that right♪ Your mother was aiming for that result right from the start you know? After all the teamwork of you all is necessary to take on the Deus ex Machina.」

However Reiri responded with a chilly gaze. She obviously didn’t believe it.

「Setting that aside. Better coordination than before might become necessary in the fight against Thanatos. For that too, it will be advantageous to heighten trust between each other.」

──’The mutual trust between twenty people huh.’

Kizuna confirmed the participants once more.

The total amount was twenty five people.

Kizuna felt like he was going to get dizzy.

However he couldn’t falter. This would be two days that might decide the fate of mankind and all the other worlds.

And then the days of the trial started.

Chapter 3 – Harem Hybrid – First Day

Part 1

「Then everyone breakup for the moment! Spend your time freely until dinner.」

After Reiri gave her order, everyone left from the room even while they kept glancing at Kizuna.

「Everyone has been told beforehand……」

「The facilities were put in order late at night, so it was this morning.」

Text was flowing in Kei’s window continuing after Reiri’s words.

『Kizuna had different preparations. Adjusting your body as well as taking a supplement prescription.』

「You mean the medicine you were made me drink since yesterday?」

『Yes. The tonic developed by Nayuta Labs. It’s really effective.』

Kizuna’s face was cramping reflexively.

「No……this will be just that rigorous won’t it? Also……everyone too?」

『Of course. Furthermore, the girls have been receiving the effects of the Love Room since early morning. Most likely they should be quite in agony.』

Kizuna stared at Kei’s figure from her head until the tips of her toes.

When he saw her white lab coat figure, he was relieved for some reason. It felt like his feelings were going to get paralyzed after seeing that great number of nakedness lining up, so he felt like returning to reality seeing Kei’s normal attire.

「By the way Kei. You too, how long are you going to wear something like that?」

「Eh?」

A sound came out from Kei’s vocal cords after so long.

Kei was grasping her collar tightly as though in opposition, but she yielded against Reiri’s gaze before long. She unbuttoned the front buttons and the white lab coat slipped down from her shoulders.

「Shi-, Shikina-san!?」

What appeared from underneath the lab coat was the loli figure of a twenty four year old. A necklace made from gold chain was on that white skin. Similarly, golden colored bracelets and anklets were shining on her body. And those were all.

Of all things, even Kei was dressed the same as the other girls.

「Uu……」

The eyes behind the glasses moistened and she looked down with a bright red face.

「There is the possibility that everyone’s mental state will be badly influenced if she is the only one with her usual attire. However it’s necessary for Kei to grasp the situation on site and deal with them. This too is an indispensable measure.」

「Ha, haha……」

Kizuna smiled wryly and responded to Reiri.

「Come with me, I’ll guide you to your room.」

Landred and Nayuta waved their hands. Leaving Kei who was hanging her head down, Kizuna followed behind Reiri. Her hair was swaying to left and right each time she took a step. Every time that happened, it gave Kizuna a peek of the tight ass as though it was teasing him. Honestly speaking, Kizuna’s excitement almost reached the peak just from that.

Kizuna felt a strong question as to why was his heart throbbing this hard towards his big sister Reiri.

「This place.」

When he entered, it was a beautiful and extravagant room that was just as expected from a palace of the royalty. The floor and pillars were designed with marble of diverse colors, the wall was decorated with calming red fabric. The windows were large with large glass that had a lot of light entering. It was a luxurious and pleasant room.

「As expected from the villa of Vatlantis’s emperor huh……」

Reiri leaned near the window.

[Your outfit for here is there on that table. Try changing into it.」

He took off his uniform just as Reiri told him and left only his underwear. When he took the placed outfit into is hands, rather than calling it clothes, it only looked like a cloth.

「Kizuna, take off your underwear too. That’s something you wear on a naked body.」

「……This is?」

He made an astonished voice, but Reiri only glared at him. Kizuna reluctantly put his hand on his underwear. When he glanced at his big sister, she showed no sign of going out.

Thinking carefully, even Reiri was stark naked. It was something to be thankful of that he even received a single waistcloth.

After Kizuna took off his underwear too and became naked, he wore the outfit given to him. It was a literal waistcloth. However the texture felt extraordinarily pleasant. Besides an elaborate embroidery was applied on the edge, making it look really high class.

「……Like this?」

「Right. Next is the sandal put over there.」

There was a leather-made laced up sandal where Reiri pointed at. It was the male version of the high heel everyone was wearing. After Kizuna wore the sandal, he tried looking at his reflected figure in the wall mirror.

His upper body was naked, and an off-white waistcloth with golden hemming on his waist. In addition was a sandal knitted from leather cords. For a moment it felt like an outfit from ancient Greece, or Rome, or Egypt.

「That really suits you.」

He saw Reiri smile through the mirror. He reflexively almost said ‘Nee-chan too’, but it was a faulty expression in various aspects. Kizuna looked around the room once more in order to calm down his feelings.

「The bed is relatively normal isn’t it? I think it can take about three, or four people?」

「There are different bedrooms for when everyone is participating. That will be your main battlefield so to speak. It will be carried out tomorrow night. Look forward to it.」

「……Uu」

He became heavy-hearted just from imagining it.

「Don’t make that kind of face. Even I’m feeling irritated offering you as sacrifice like that.」

Reiri moved away from the window and approached Kizuna.

「Nee-chan?」

Both Reiri’s hands held Kizuna’s face between them.

「Good grief, whether it’s the magic power resupply, or the Core’s install……it feels like I’m rapidly getting stuck deeper.」

「!!──」

Reiri stole Kizuna’s lips.

Kizuna was slightly surprised, but he showed no resistance. Rather than that, the indescribable nice smell wafting from Reiri and the softness of the lips made Kizuna taste a pleasant feeling.

The ardent kiss from his big sister combined with the stimulating sight until now. It was only natural that Kizuna’s thing was rising up from the excitement. The tip that became bigger demandingly got in between Reiri’s crotch that wasn’t wearing anything.

Reiri’s lips let go.

「Fufu♡ It looks energetic.」

Kizuna’s face flared red.

「Actually I want to make you feel refreshed here but……」

Reiri took Kizuna’s hand and pulled him towards the door.

「As expected after what I said in front of everyone, there is no way I can monopolize you myself.」

She opened the door and exited into a wide passage. He was walking through the passage that was decorated with the mosaic of colored marble while his hand was pulled by Reiri’s hand.

「Nee-chan, where are we going?」

「I’ll guide you within this ground. We are surely going to pass someone midway, so be patient until then. Can you endure?」

She talked to Kizuna with an erotic gaze.

「I can but……it’s impossible to calm this.」

Reiri laughed brightly from hearing Kizuna’s answer.

Part 2

After going out to the garden from the living room, there were a green lawn and beautifully pruned plants continuing on. The sky was really clear with white clouds floating in the blue sky. The strong sunlight shining in from between the clouds colored the garden’s greenery even more beautifully.

「There is even a garden……besides, the sky, exist.」

Kizuna couldn’t differentiate at all which sight came from reality and which sight was showed by the Love Room.

「What a beautiful flower.」

Beautiful yellow and pink flowers were blooming profusely at the shrubbery. Reiri gently caressed a flower petal with her fingertip.

Kizuna wondered whether they had ever strolled in a garden with just the two of them. He tried to recall the past as though flipping the pages of his memories, but he couldn’t find any memory that fit. In any case, there was no doubt that this was his first experience walking together with his big sister naked.

Under the brilliant sunlight, the beautiful body was strolling inside a beautiful garden. It was unusual, very improper, and immoral. That was why he couldn’t help but getting excited.

「Hm? What’s the matter Kizuna?」

「No……I’m just thinking that it’s beautiful.」

Reiri was taken by surprise and she felt her cheeks heating up.

「Do, don’t say something like that.」

「Why? I didn’t say anything false.」

「……It makes me want to push you down right here. Even I am enduring myself.」

「I, is that so……sorry.」

Kizuna also spontaneously turned red.

Reiri cleared her throat *cough* and she took Kizuna’s hand once more and began to walk.

「But, there is no one here.」

「Even this area is unexpectedly vast after all……if we go to the sea, there must be someone there.」

Both of them walked while staring at the garden. Then ahead of them was a white sandy beach with a blue sea spreading out far.

Just as Reiri predicted, there was a figure enjoying sunbathing on the beach.

「But, of all people it’s you huh.」

「What are you talking about?」

Zelcyone who was lying upside-down on a beach mat lifted her face with a displeased look. She lifted her body as though turning over and her charm became exposed. She slovenly laid down on her side, making her self become enveloped in the sensual smell of an adult.

「Zelcyone, are you alone?」

「Yeah. Grace-sama is together with Aine-sama, and I told the Quartum to interact with someone other than me. After all, those girls didn’t mingle with others even in the academy.」

Unexpectedly Zelcyone was trying to do Harem Hybrid seriously.

‘Come to think of it’──Kizuna recalled the student council president Zelcyone in Ataraxia Academy. Although she would fulfill her own interests and desires, she didn’t do anything that would bother the other students for that, and she was also thinking seriously about the students’ safety above all else. Due to that, she often clashed with the headmaster Reiri.

Even though the two’s objective was the same, but they tended to clash with each other because of their difference in position. Then──,

「Nee-chan, can you lie down beside Zelcyone?」

「……Got it.」

Without asking back why, Reiri lied down on the mat. Zelcyone also didn’t say any particular complain. Reiri stared at the side of Zelcyone’s face.

「You are really obedient huh?」

「I’m not here to play around after all. I don’t want to let go of the chance for a power up. Besides, thinking of the future, it’s better to do it with someone who I don’t get along well with.」

Kizuna nodded in admiration.

「As expected from Zel.」

When he said that, Zelcyone frowned with an angry look.

「Stop calling me like that. It’s not like I became your woman. I told you that already.」

Reiri grinned.

「That’s certainly true. There is no way Kizuna will do you.」

「……But, it looks like the brocon headmaster really wants to do the Hybrid so much she cannot endure any longer. That’s why I’m pitching in to help like this.」

「What? What are you talking about?」

Zelcyone sent a sidelong glance at Reiri as though making fun of her.

「You can see it from how the place between her legs is drooling so wantonly like that. As expected even I cannot bear to see it.」

Kizuna reflexively looked at his big sister’s lower body. Certainly, the inside of her thighs was glistening.

「!? Thi, this is……it’s, that, you know」

Reiri made an embarrassed face and hid it with her hand.

「It’s not really something to feel ashamed of. You have been inside this space from last night for preparation or whatever right? Even though I’ve been here only for a few hours, but my mood is rising so much that I myself am amazed of it.」

After saying that, Zelcyone sent Kizuna an amorous gaze.

「That’s why I don’t mind. Kizuna, I’ll specially let you do whatever you want to me.」

「I see……then Zelcyone, can you show it to me too?」

「Uh-」

Zelcyone let out a small groan and stiffened.

「Shit……」

She swore with a subdued tone while raising one of her knees and spread open her legs. Her hand circled from her butt and she opened her important place to show Kizuna.

That place was wetter than Reiri and glistened brightly.

Zelcyone averted her faintly blushing face.

「I’ll tell you this so you don’t misunderstand, but this is because of the Love Room’s effect. I’m not horny because of Kizuna, not in the least.」

She spoke sharply like that, but her other mouth could only be seen as inviting him. There was no persuasive power at all.

「Wha, what’s with that grin! Besides, Reiri’s state is far more awful than me! Try confirming it properly!」

「Wha-!?」

Reiri was shocked from the unexpected splash damage.

「Nee-chan too, show it……」

Reiri didn’t refuse when Kizuna told her that. Reiri closed her eyes with an embarrassed look, lifted one of her leg, and then opened the inside with her own hand.

「Ki, Kizuna, as expected, this is really, embarrassing.」

Her face was reddening in shame, however her figure opening her legs and showing its inside caused Kizuna to get excited no matter how he felt about it. The cloth wrapped around his waist was lifted up.

Seeing that, Zelcyone and Reiri gulped. The drool flowing out from them also increased in amount.

Kizuna kneeled between the two.

「Hm? This is?」

His eyes caught sight of a thin and narrow container lying on the beach mat. When Zelcyone noticed his gaze, she picked up that container.

「Aah, this is sun oil. It was placed here but……that sunlight shouldn’t make you get sunburn though.」

However, it was unthinkable that something pointless was placed here in this place. There was no doubt that it was something that would be of assistance for the Hybrid.

「But it might create the mood. I’ll apply it for you two.」

Kizuna opened the lid and spilled its content on his hand.

──’This is-!’

The smooth liquid that dripped out pooled on his palm. A sweet smell immediately drifted out and Kizuna’s heart beat became faster.

The two women looked up to Kizuna with a gaze that was filled with anticipation. In order to answer it, Kizuna spread the sun oil on both his hands and touched the woman parts that were opened immodestly.

「Nn……」

「Haa……」

Sweet sigh leaked out from the mouths of the two.

When Kizuna gently traced the entrance of the two, they shook happily.

「So-♡ So, sudden……ly」

「Going outside, the book-♥ is quite, something……hii-, ku!」

The two tried to show their composure, but it was a pointless endeavor.

Kizuna’s figners were slipping inside the rapidly welling up springs. Their inside was welcoming Kizuna warmly. They softly, but strongly tightened on Kizuna.

「NNAaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! ♡」

「HIaAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNH! ♥」

The coquettish voices of Reiri and Zelcyone overlapped like a chorus. At the same time magic power particles were rising up from the two’s bodies while emitting light.

──’Eh!? Already?’

‘If it’s this much then they will soon……’──He thought that, but he didn’t think that it would be this effective. The strength of this oil must be because it was combined with the effect of the Love Room.

Both of them couldn’t lift their legs and they trembled while lying face up.

「So, sorry……I never thought, it would be this……」

Reiri breathed roughly while making an apologetic face.

「S, so……even we, reached the limit……bu, but, Kizuna. You still……」

「Tha, that’s right, Kizuna. This isn’t the end.」

Kizuna also didn’t plan to end it with this. This time he directly poured the oil on the two’s body. The dripping liquid flowed on the valley of Reiri’s large breasts toward the depression of her navel. The oil also flowed similarly on Zeclyone’s body. Kizuna spilled the liquid a bit more at their abdomen.

And then he opened both his hands. His right hand toward Zelcyone and his left hand toward Reiri, spreading the oil across their bodies.

「Haah, aa……i, it feels, good.ahn♡」

Kizuna spread the oil on Reiri’s body while groping around. The tip of her breasts were already turning hard and pointy. It was rolled around under Kizuna’s hand. It gave the only feeling of resistance amidst the meek and soft texture. It felt pleasantly ticklish.

「Kuh, Kizunaa……kuu, it’s ticklish……ah, aahn♥」

Kizuna caressed around Zelcyone’s stomach, and from there he moved again to her breast. When he moved his right and left hand similarly, he could understand well the differences of their bodies. Nevertheless, the two of them possessed amazingly mature bodies.

Kizuna was looking down on the two older beauties writhing on his left and right.

Sweat was oozing on their foreheads, causing their hair to stick there. The eyebrows that they knitted in anguish told him the severity of their battle against the rampaging sensuality inside their bodies. Their erotic lips opened and their tongue squirmed bewitchingly.

All of those reacted and changed from his hand’s movement.

He was making older women this beautiful and erotic to feel it. When he thought of that, joy and confidence welled up inside. Besides, these two were always of great help to him. He wanted them to feel good. He wanted them to feel happy. When he thought that, heat entered his caressing.

「Aa……Kizuna.」

Reiri’s hand reached out to Kizuna’s waistcloth. She untied the string tying it on and it slipped down.

「Haa……♡」

Reiri’s eyes were glistening with obscene light.

She stroked the thing that appeared lovingly. Fierce pleasure instantly ran through from Kizuna’s tailbone until the inside of his stomach.

It was a violent pleasure. It made him understood how Reiri and Zelcyone climaxed in the blink of an eye.

「Aa……nn. Me, too……」

Zelcyone similarly reached out and touched Kizuna. Reiri obediently conceded a spot and two hands divided duty, giving healing to Kizuna.

Zelcyone was staring at the thing her fingers were wrapping around with a heated gaze. Before long she lifted her upper body and her face came closer as though being sucked in.

「Zel?」

This time she didn’t complain even when he called her Zel. Rather she smiled and kissed *chu* on Kizuna’s tip. Undauntedly Reiri also brought her face close and her tongue stretched out.

「Uu……Nee-chan. Zel……」

Two outrageously beautiful women were huddling and licking his thing together. That picture possessed severe destructive power. The pleasure that was actually given to his body went without saying, but the visual information that entered from his eyes also violently reverberated inside his brain.

──’This is bad. At this rate I’ll finish instantly!’

Kizuna pulled back his waist and laid down face up.

「Nee-chan, Zel, turn you butt over here.」

Reiri and Zelcyone looked at each other’s face and nodded. And then they changed the direction they were facing and got on all four. After that they lowered their heads and quickly crawled their tongues on Kizuna’s thing.

Enduring the caressing that quickly resumed, Kizuna looked up at the butts lining up at his left and right. He was overwhelmed when he was looking up at them from this near. Reiri’s butt was especially voluptuous.

When Kizuna’s hands grabbed the butts of the two, they shivered and jiggled. Kizuna tasted the soft sensation that was different from a breast while pushing through to the valley of the butt.

His fingers advanced to the centers that were even more soaked than before.

「Hya……ah!♡」

「Kufuuh!♥」

From the reactions of the two, he understood the spot that gave the two the sharpest sensation when his fingertip touched. He caressed them by focusing his attacks at those spots.

「Kuu……Ze, Zel.」

「Ahn……ri, right」

Zelcyone surmised Reiri’s intention just from that and she put Kizuna’s thing from its head into her mouth. However Kizuna couldn’t see that. He only knew that he was suddenly wrapped inside something hot. But, he understood what was being done to him.

Zelcyone narrowed her lips and moved her head up and down. And then her tongue caressed lovingly at the thing inside her mouth. Reiri was gently holding the thing that was enveloped inside the sack and the tip of her tongue gave it ticklish stimulation.

When Zelcyone’s lips let go, this time Reiri put Kizuna’s thing into her mouth. And then Zelcyone was licking the trunk while licking gently to the joint part and continuing to the thing dangling below it. And then, as though they had arranged it beforehand, their hands reached out from left and right, adding caressed to Kizuna’s stomach and chest. It was an amazing teamwork.

Light particles were rising up from the bodies of the two, melting into the air. The whole space of this place was being filled up with magic power.

Kizuna thrust once more into where a spring was welling up from the two.

「Nnfuuhnn-!♡」

「Kyaaaaahnn-!♥」

Reiri’s stifled gasping voice and Zelcyone’s coquettish voice overlapped.

Hot honey copiously gushed forth from inside the two, flowing down Kizuna’s arms. Kizuna wriggled his fingers as though exploring inside a cave, which was the hot inside of the two in this case.

「Ki, Kizuna-, doing it like that is──!!♡♡♡ AAAAH!」

「Fuh, ah! There──!?♥♥♥ YAAAAAH!」

The body of Reiri and Zelcyone jerked then spasmed.

He found out the most sensitive spot of the two. Kizuna was also near his limit. He focused in severely tormenting the location of the excavated treasure. But Kizuna himself was already at his limit.

Reiri and Zelcyone stretched out their trembling tongue to Kizuna’s tip. The touching tongue tip gently gave the last push.

And then Kizuna’s fingers also pushed the two to the climax simultaneously.

「Ih! Aa♡AaAAA♡──uUUUaaAAAAAAAAAAAAA♡♡♡」

「u──Kuuh!♥ uUAa♥AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA♥♥♥」

The holes of sweet honey tightened intensely on Kizuna’s fingertips.

And then life energy spurted out from Kizuna’s thing toward the faces of the two.

「Aa……it’s hot♡」

「Nn♥……delicious.」

Both of them stretched their tongues around their lips with an entranced look.

「Ah……it’s on your face there」

「Reiri too……」

And then the two brought their faces close to each other and they stretched out their tongues to lick the thing, before returning what they licked to the other’s tongue. Without stopping their tongues entangled with each other and their lips met. They exchanged a deep kiss to taste the thing inside the other’s mouth.

Part 3

After that, they finished one more round and the two fell asleep tiredly.

Kizuna gazed at the waves by himself. The advancing waves felt inviting to him. Kizuna left the two and tried entering the sea alone.

The water was a bit cold and felt pleasant.

It was just right to cool his flushed body. When he was thinking that, he heard a voice calling out to him.

「Kizuna─」

When he looked around him, a white boat appeared from behind a cape. It was a big and really extravagant ship that looked like what a multi-millionaire would board when in a resort spot. Yurishia was waving her hand from the deck with her large breasts swaying.

「Yurishia? Also──」

Himekawa, then Hyakurath and Mercuria were also there.

「Come over here─」

「Wa, wait! Yurishia-san!?」

Yurishia was calling out with a smile, but the other three were asking what Yurishia was doing in a panic.

Kizuna should be tired from doing two rounds of Hybrid with the adult duo just now, but mysteriously he was feeling strength welling up inside. Kizuna wondered whether this too was the effect of this space──the combination of the Love Room and Baldein’s sorcery that was prepared for the Harem Hybrid.

Kizuna waved back then he swam towards the boat.

After he climbed up onto the boat, Yurishia’s smile welcomed him, but the other three didn’t move from their seats. They were making a bewildered face while hiding their breasts and crotch with their arms.

「Geez, what’s with you three? The mission won’t get accomplished by acting like that you know?」

Yurishia faced the other three and smiled encouragingly.

Himekawa groaned for a while, but she lowered her arms in resignation.

「You’re right……besides, when the mission started, I was already seen in this appearance. It’s already too late at this point……」

‘But, doing something like this with someone who I confessed to and whom hasn’t given me an answer yet, just what is this?’ Himekawa who returned to normal thought.

Furthermore, even though she hadn’t received an answer, she one-sidedly got convinced that her love was unrequited.

Further still, it would be together with three of her friends…….it was just too immoral.

‘Then you don’t want to do it?’ If she was asked that──,

Himekawa’s face blushed red and she stared at Kizuna with an upward gaze.

「This is also our duty, so…」

「Hayuru……」

Since before the battle with Odin they had no leeway at all, so Kizuna too was unable to answer Himekawa’s confession. Himekawa also told him that it wasn’t like she wanted the answer right away, but he didn’t know what would happen at the last decisive battle. Would it be better if he replied properly now that Aine had returned? But conversely, Himekawa’s mental state might become unstable from that. In that case it would cause Himekawa herself to meet danger.

──’In any case, there is no way we can have that kind of talk in this situation.’

Kizuna whispered so inside his heart. At that time Yurishia was urging the other two so they wouldn’t hide their bodies too.

「Now, Hyakurath and Mercuria too.」

Yurishia said with a wink. She looked sexier than usual. In fact, her body was wearing only accessories, so that was only natural. In a sense, it was lewder than being stark naked.

Being pressed by Yurishia, Hyakurath and Mercuria also reluctantly unwrapped their arms. Their soft breasts made their entrance in front of Kizuna with a jiggle.

「Even so, what’s with this boat?」

Kizuna looked over the boat once more. Its length was around fifteen meters. There was a cockpit at the bow of the ship, under it was an entrance that seemed to lead to the cabin. There was a round table on the deck, with leather round sofa surrounding it, everything was consolidated with a clean white color.

And then, the four beautiful girls were sitting on that sofa. The four were altogether beautiful, but each had different individuality.

Without even any need to compare, the most glamorous one was undoubtedly Yurishia. Her breasts and butt looked like they were going to burst anytime. But even with that her waist was tight, it was obviously trained. Her state that was overflowing with self-confidence sitting down looked like an American gravure model.

Himekawa possessed glistening black hair and tight beautiful skin. Beside her was Yurishia, so her breasts looked small, but they were big enough with beautiful shape. The colored tips of her breasts had the color of sakuras. She sat with proper posture with her hands put together on her lap as though to hide her important place. However, a bush with the same color like her hair could be seen peeking out.

Hyakurath looked like a westerner with blonde hair and blue eyes. When she was sitting down quietly, she could be mistaken as a princess. But in reality she was the captain of the firstLeon squad of the Imperial Guards. Her body was similar to her face, it looked noble and beautiful. Her skin with its thin pigment looked transparently white. She could even be thought of as a fairy now that she was sitting naked like this.

Mercuria had a body build that was slim and flexible like a model. The size of her breasts was slightly smaller than Himekawa. Her body was also slender but it was trained like an athlete. Her skin’s color was a bit deep in contrast to Hyakurath, her hair long and brown colored. She was the captain of the secondTigris squad of Vatlantis’s Imperial Guard.

Those four extraordinarily beautiful girls were relaxing elegantly on a large and gorgeous boat. Furthermore their appearances were only wearing accessories, and nothing else.

In addition, Kizuna himself had just spent a dream-like time with two older beauties just now.

Kizuna once more pondered on the meaning of the word harem from Harem Hybrid.

「Ahead from here there is a wharf, and this boat was anchored there. Hayuru and the others said that they wanted to try riding it, so I drove it. My family also had a power boat, so I had no problems at all steering it☆」

However Hyakurath was looking down in dejection.

「Uu……even though I thought that if we were on the sea we wouldn’t meet with other people……of all things, why is Hida-kun……」

Himekawa patted Hyakurath’s shoulder with pity.

「Hyakurath-san. It’s a pity but, this is also a mission. If we don’t accumulate strength here, we might be unable to fight to the end in the decisive battle against Thanatos. If we lose, we won’t be able to take back the world so……」

Being persuaded like that, Hyakurath wiped the tears pooling in her eyes.

「You’re….right. Nothing will be resolved if I run away.」

She tightly clenched her hands and she whispered lowly inside her mouth.

「Do your best, do your best, Hyakurath-」

Himekawa and Mercuria were gazing at such Hyakurath with a gaze as though they were looking at a small child.

Kizuna also unconsciously smiled.

However, this Hyakurath, when she was held a sword, she would display a strength that earned her the of『Sword Saint』. Kizuna had also learned the basics of the sword during the Ataraxia Academy period, but he was unable to get a solid hit against her at all. Himekawa was also suitably skilled, but according to her Hyakurath was in a different dimension.

She was undoubtedly a warrior that would become one of the main forces in the final decisive battle. Because of that, he wanted her to do the Hybrid more proactively, but she also couldn’t sustain mental damage just because of that.

Kizuna suddenly said something that came to his mind.

「Then, how about we play a game?」

Mercuria made a suspecting face.

「Game? What kind of game?」

「I haven’t thought that far ahead, but……I think a game that will deepen our friendship will be nice.」

Himekawa put her finger on her cheek and made a troubled gesture.

「I think it’s a good idea but……there is not even playing cards here.」

Yurishia seemed to remember something and raised her voice.

「Then there is a good game.」

Yurishia entered the cabin and came back carrying disposable chopsticks.

「How about King’s Game? I want to try playing it at least once you know~」

Everyone except Yurishia was hesitant, but there wasn’t any other games they could play, so for now they decided to give it a try.

「Whooo is the king?」

Only Yurishia’s voice resounded.

「Wait……it’s me. Then……」

Just what kind of order would she give? Everyone was observing Yurishia’s face with held breath.

「Number one will kiss number three.」

「Eeh!?」

Hyakurath’s complexion paled. The chopstick she was holding was written with 3.

「Wha-!?」

Mercuria rose to her feet.

「My? Mer is number one?」

Mercuria angrily yelled at Yurishia who was asking nonchalantly.

「That’s not it! That kind of order is invalid! Like this Hyakurath will kiss someone else other than me!」

「Ge~ez, this is Harem Hybrid, so it can’t be helped. And, who is number one?」

Himekawa timidly raised her hand.

「It’s me……」

「Himekawa-san……」

Hyakurath’s face looked relieved just for a little.

「I’m sorry, Hyakurath-san. To do this with someone like me.」

「N, no……please take care of me.」

The two bowed to each other which caused Yurishia to watch in exasperation. On the other hand Mercuria was gritting her teeth hard.

「The, then……」

「Ah」

They took each other’s hand slowly and quietly brought their faces closer.

The eyelids of the two were closed. And then their lips touched.

The kiss of fellow beautiful girls of different cultures.

It looked like a blonde haired westerner and a black haired Japanese were exchanging a kiss.

Kizuna was entranced by that picturesque scene.

It looked really beautiful, transient, and very lovely.

Before long the lips of the two separated and they stared at each other shyly.

「I, it feels somehow awkward doesn’t it……Hyakurath-san.」

「It feels excessively like that when everyone is watching……」

「……Hmph. Next time for sure I’ll……」

Mercuria snorted and spoke in a bad mood.

「Then second round, let’s go~ whooo is the king?」

「Ah, it’s me.」

Himekawa showed the chopstick that was written with letter K.

「Then……number two and number three……kiss each other.」

Mercuria snapped and yelled.

「Again! It’s kissing again!」

Kizuna was also surprised. He never thought that Himekawa would give that kind of order. When he stole a glance at Himekawa’s face, her cheeks were blushing and her moist eyes were hollow somewhere inside. It seemed her switch was turned on from the kiss just now. Kizuna was surprised once more by how great the influence of this space was.

「Ah」

When Kizuna looked at his own chopstick, the number 2 was written there.

「I am number two. Who is number 3?」

「It’s me-!」

Mercuria threw the chopstick on the table.

「Shit……why do I have to do something like this-!」

Kizuna apologized inside his heart to Mercuria even while he was thinking that this was a good chance instead. After all, Mercuria was an enemy that was even more formidable than Hyakurath. Here he would somehow make her get into the mood so that she would participate proactively in the Harem Hybrid.

Kizuna grabbed the shoulders of the vexed Mercuria and brought his face closer. Hyakurath held her breath seeing that scene.

Mercuria closed her eyes tightly. And then her body was also turning stiff whether it was from nervousness or disgust.

──’Sorry, Mercuria.’

Kizuna’s lips stole Mercuria’s lips.

「Nh……」

Kizuna’s palms on Mercuria’s shoulders felt how strength was gradually leaving Mercuria’s body. Kizuna slid his hands down and caressed her arms lovingly. Mercuria’s body jerked then spasmed. And then Kizuna turned his hands around Mercuria’s back and embraced her body.

「Nn, fuu……nh」

The lips that she tightly closed opened. Kizuna’s tongue entered inside Mercuria’s mouth. Mercuria also responded to that and entangled her tongue on his.

And then after enjoying each other’s sensation for a while, their lips separated. A string of saliva was pulled between Mercuria and Kizuna’s mouths.

「Are you okay, Mer?」

When Hyakurath shook Mercuria’s shoulder, Mercuria returned to her senses as though she had just woken up.

「Wha, what do you mean!? Good grief……it was filthy.」

She spoke bitterly before wiping up her mouth in a fluster.

「But Mer……you were kissing for about three minutes you know?」

「Lies-!?」

Mercuria glared at Kizuna, then she whispered ‘next it will be with Hyakurath……’.

「I too want to kiss with Kizuna for sure next turn♡ Then, let’s move on-. Whooo is the king?」

After that they repeated the game many times over and punishment games with various combinations of personnel unfolded. And then each time that happened, the aphrodisiac effect became even more pronounced and stronger on Kizuna and co.

And then finally──,

「Nh……nfuu……slurp……chu-」

Hyakurath was burying her face between Kizuna’s legs. Kizuna was caressing Hyakurath’s head as though wanting to say surrender to that pleasure.

「O, oi Hyakurath, the order is just a kiss right? If you are doing it that intensely……」

It was unclear whether Hyakurath heard Kizuna’s voice or not, but her lips didn’t let go.

「Nnnn……nh, nnu♡」

Mercuria slapped her chopstick on the table once again.

「Shit-! Why is it only me who never got paired with Hyakurath!?」

Himekawa and Yurishia were enviously watching Hyakurath continuing to move her head up and down. Himekawa was sandwiching both her hands between her legs while fidgeting.

「Nh……aah, that serious and pure Hyakurath-san is, doing that kind of thing……」

Yurishia was also groping her breast in a light massage.

「He, hey……it’s, enough already isn’t it?」

She sent an amorous glance towards the cabin. From the gap of the door, a large bed could be seen inside.

Himekawa’s throat gulped.

「I, I guess you’re right……this is a mission after all.」

「Indeed. If it’s like that than I can also, with Hyakurath……」

Mercuria stood up and grasped Hyakurath’s arm before she forcefully tore her off from Kizuna.

「The game is over already. Let’s go to the cabin.」

「Ah……i, is that so?」

Mercuria led the tottering Hyakurath into the cabin and laid her down on the bed. From behind her, Kizuna entered with Himekawa and Yurishia clinging on him at his left and right. Both of them were pressing their breasts on Kizuna’s arm seductively.

When Yurishia climbed on the bed, she smiled sweetly.

「Now……it will be the true Harem Hybrid from here. Who will you start loving from?」

The bed was really large, it would still leave some space even with five people on it. Kizuna was staring in turn at the four beautiful girls sitting at ease on the bed. And then his eyes stopped on──,

「Mercuria.」

「──Heh!?」

Mercuria raised a shocked voice as though she had snapped awake from her drunkenness.

「Wa, wait. Just leave me alone. Rather than me, you can just get affectionate with Hayuru or Yurishia right? Just why are you choosing me.」

Mercuria was backing away while letting out cold sweat.

「First it’s necessary to have Mercuria’s cooperation. If not, the Harem Hybrid’s effect might get lowered.」

「N, no, don’t mind me. I’ll be watching over the──ah」

Hyakurath pinned down Mercuria from behind. And then her left leg was caught by Himekawa while her right leg was caught by Yurishia.

「Yo, you all, stop, what are you doing!」

Himekawa and Yurishia pulled back her legs, pushing her down on the bed. And then Hyakurath put Mercuria’s head on her lap and pinned down both her shoulders.

「Hyakurath, even you!」

「I’m sorry, Mer. But, this is necessary in order to save the world.」

「Bu, but……uhyaaa!」

Mercuria had her legs opened forcefully by Himekawa and Yurishia. Mercuria’s secret spot was exposed before Kizuna without hiding anything.

And then Himekawa and Yurishia untied Kizuna’s waistcloth that had been greatly swelling out since they were playing the game. Seeing the thing that appeared from under it, Mercuria held her breath.

Its tip was approaching the spot of Mercuria that couldn’t be shown to other people.

「aAH!」

A slightly sticky sound could be heard and Mercuria bent her body backward. Kizuna traced Mercuria’s shape with his thing. A shuddering sensation ran through him when his thing moved from between Mercuria’s legs toward the back.

「Hayuru, Yurishia. Can you close her legs for me?」

Yurishia lifted her face towards Kizuna.

「I’ll do it but, a reward.」

Kizuna pressed his lips softly on the lips of Yurishia who closed her eyes.

「M, me too……」

Himekawa at the opposite side pushed out her face as though wanting to say not fair.

Kizuna separated his lips from Yurishia before he turned left and gently kissed Himekawa.

「Nn♡」

Himekawa floated a satisfied smile and exchanged saliva with Kizuna. Kizuna felt like he was overflowing with hardness and strength from kissing with the two of them.

The two of them closed Mercuria’s legs by pushing from left and right. Her thighs pressed close to each other, leaving no gap in between. Mercuria sighed in relieve.

Her relieve lasted only for a moment. The sensation of something penetrating into her crotch made her spine shudder.

「Wha-……what is!?」

It was something long, with surface that was soft but hard. Mercuria guessed its true identity from the shape that she felt from her thighs and crotch.

「Sto──AHAaAHN!♥」

It was something hard and rugged, but it scraped on her sensitive spot. And then Kizuna pulled back his waist and banged once more.

「Ya, yah, fuah, aahn!」

The hammered in pile driver pulverized her words of rejection. Even the reasoning remaining inside Mercuria was destroyed, and she was washed away by the pleasure that Harem Hybrid brought her.

「Heey, Kizuna……please. We too……」

Yurishia took Kizuna’s hand, then she led it toward her own stomach. Kizuna reached out his right hand towards Yurishia and his left hand towards Himekawa, he caressed like drawing a circle around the two’s navels.

Himekawa muttered shamefully with a blushing face.

「Don’t……I wonder, if my stomach is fat.」

「There is no such thing, Hayuru. It’s tight and really beautiful you know?」

Himekawa’s face brightened in a flash. And then she slightly closed her knees and stretched herself. It was as though she was guiding Kizuna’s hand lower.

Kizuna’s finger tip touched something smooth. He pushed through the black bush, searching for the spring of warm honey. His right hand was searching inside a golden thicket. And then both his hands simultaneously touched something hot and damp.

「──aAAN♡」

「FUAaAAAAaH, Ki, KIZUNA-KUuUN♥」

Yurishia and Himekawa raised voices of joy.

He moved his hands to grind on the two’s important spot with his fingertip that was stained with dripping honey.

「Aah, nnh! There-, it feels go-ood♡」

「A, amazing-♥ AaAAAH!」

Even more warm honey was dripping out from inside the two’s bodies. Kizuna thrust his fingers into those honey pots.

「「aAaaaaAAAAAaAHNN♥♡」」

The two’s coquettish voices resounded like a song.

「Ho, how is it Kizuna? Does my insides, feel, good?」

「Yeah, it’s soft……like I’m getting healed.」

「A, and, what about, that’s……my inside, how it is?」

「It’s really tight and pleasant. Just like Hayuru who is strict but kind.」

Himekawa made an intoxicated gaze, she then stretched out her tongue and kissed Kizuna.

「Nnuh! O, wh, what, aahn♥ a, about me, Kizuna?」

Mercuria asked with a red face and hard breathing as though she had been doing a long distance marathon. Kizuna inserted slightly deeper and scraped Mercuria’s secret spot as though digging it out to answer that.

「AHAaAHHHNNNN!♥♥」

「Yeah, of course……yours feels, really good.」

When Kizuna answered so, Mercuria smiled slightly. And then, she looked up at the face of Hyakurath who was giving her a lap pillow. Most of her sight was blocked by the round breasts, but she could see Hyakurath’s gentle gaze from the gap.

「Nnuh, Hya-, Haykurath-, ge, get above, my, my face.」

「Eeh!?」

Hyakurath turned bright red and looked around at the faces of Kizuna, Himekawa, and Hayuru in panic. Yurishia let out a passionate sigh while smiling with an erotic gaze.

「Nh, don’t mind us, yo, you can, ahn♡ just do, what you……usually do.」

「Tha, that’s-!? It’s not like we are usually doing……」

Hyakurath looked down at Mercuria on her lap with a troubled look.

「It’s like, only Hyakurath……is getting, nh, left out, like this.」

「Mer……」

Hyakurath put down Mercuria’s head from her lap, then she lifted her body.

She hung her head down in embarrassment so that Kizuna and the others couldn’t see her face. And then she straddled Mercuria’s head. Then she went down on her knees. However even if she wasn’t looking, she felt the gazes from everyone piercing her.

「No……it’s embarrassing.」

「Hyakurath, lower your waist more.」

「……Geez.」

She lowered her waist even while frowning with a troubled look. And then Mercuria kissed on Hyakurath’s lips that were fully wet.

「KYAaAAAAAHN♡」

Hyakurath yelled as though she was going to leap up. Mercuria held Hyakurath’s thighs with her hands so that she wouldn’t escape.

「Yahn, Me, Mer-?」

Mercuria stretched out her tongue and touched the spot where Hyakurath felt it the best.

「Hyahn!?」

And then Mercuria exchanged kisses with Hyakurath’s lower lips and applied a passionate deep kiss as though to strike her feeling into there.

「Hiihn! Wai-, Me……Mer-♡ Do, aAAAAAAaHN!!」

Hyakurath was already mostly sitting on Mercuria’s head. However Mercuria didn’t even look pained and continued to send pleasure to Hyakurath thoroughly.

That pleasure was reverberating to every corner of Hyakurath’s body. Hyakurath exposed an intoxicated expression to Himekawa, Yurishia, and Kizuna.

「Aau……yaa, don’t, loook……」

She begged with teary and drooling face that looked completely intoxicated. That indecent figure radiated obscene feelings to anyone who watched.

「Fufu……that’s a nice face, Hyakurath☆」

「You are really pretty, class president.」

「AAaH!I-, I’m sorry-……that I’m, this kind of class president, aah♡」

Hyakurath’s waist was trembling and her body pitched forward. Kizuna also put his face forward and met Hyakurath’s lips with a kiss.

Hyakurath opened her lips subconsciously and she licked around inside Kizuna’s mouth.

Yurishia and Himekawa leaned their body on Kizuna. Their bodies were trembling, bringing to attention that they were near their limit. Mercuria yelled with suffocated breathing.

「No-, no more-! Do, dooon’t! Please, I’m already, alrea-──」

Mercuria sucked as strong as she could on Hyakurath’s secret part that had been overflowing with honey nonstop since some time ago.

「──~~~~~!!♡」

Hyakurath’s shriek flowed into Kizuna mouth to mouth.

Kizuna made the hardest thrust with his waist until now as though to deal the finishing blow, while the fingers of his two hands pushed on the place inside the two where they felt it the most.

「!?」

Feelings of climax rushed around the bodies of the three with Hyakurath following a moment later.

「Kuuh♡♥──aAA♡AA♥aAA♡♡aAN♥NNiIaAAAAA♡♥♡♥」

Mercuria opened her legs sluttishly and then she didn’t move looking like she fainted. She was lying down limply while her body was twitching sometimes.

Hyakurath, Himekawa, and Yurishia were letting out heated breaths while leaning down on Kizuna tiredly. Kizuna was also breathing with his shoulders heaving as though he had just trained intensely.

Himekawa slowly lifted her body and she brushed up her black hair with a slovenly appearance.

「Kizuna-kun-……♥ ne, next is, me……」

Hearing that voice, Yurishia also lifted her face.

「Nope, do it……to me.」

「Err, we made Mer forced herself so, I too……that」

「Wa, wait……everyone also needs to rest」

However the three kneeled in front of Kizuna and they touched the thing that made Mercuria capitulate with their lips, then they whispered.

「──Quickly get energetic okay♥」

Part 4

By the time the sun almost vanished into the horizon, everyone gathered inside the dining hall in order to have dinner.

The meal was in the style of a buffet, while there were plenty dishes in Japanese, Chinese, and Western style put together on the menu. Kizuna who had already ate up two plates worth was looking around at the food wondering what he was going to eat next.

「……But, it helps that the food is normal. All of it is delicious. I completely thought that the menu would be made up of only vitality supplements.」

『As for that, it has been prepared properly.』

Kei was standing near him without him noticing. And then her hand was holding a glass filled with bubbling red liquid.

「What is that?」

『Before, when fighting Professor Nayuta, you drank a drink filled with tonic. This is a cocktail of that which has been powered up further. Its name too is Red Harem. It’s also mixed with Baldein’s nectar. Amazing things will happen if you drink it.』

「Wait a second! At that time didn’t you say that the drink is already something that absolutely cannot be sold!?」

『But, it should become necessary in order to weather tonight.』

「──Certainly.」

Kizuna put the glass on his mouth and took a sip.

「……The taste is not bad.」

And then he gulped it down.

『It’s also put inside the provision refrigerator in your room and the bedroom. You can drink it as you like.』

Kei turned around and left with her small butt shaking.

──’Shikina-san is also pitiful isn’t she, that she needs to be in that appearance.’

Thinking that, Kizuna suddenly noticed that he hadn’t caught sight of Nayuta.

She said that Odin shared magic power with her, but perhaps her condition was still not good. She said that she was healed to the degree where she could at least walk though.

However, he never thought that he would worry like this about his mother’s health.

「……Hm?」

His body was strangely feeling hot and he felt like strength was welling up.

It seemed that the Red Harem just now was working. Furthermore the part that he wished would be docile at dinner time was strangely energetic.

──’I have eaten quite a lot, perhaps it’s enough already.’

Kizuna slowly got out of the dining hall.

There was no one in the corridor. Somehow he was now alone for the first time since he came to this villa. This was a rare chance, so he thought to relax alone at least while everyone was having dinner.

Where?

Thinking that, the first thing he thought of was the bath.

And then Kizuna immediately headed towards the bathroom.

「Aa……it’s really calming.」

Kizuna dipped in the hot water until his shoulders and let out a sigh ‘haaah’.

For some reason it looked like he was running away from everyone and he felt a little guilty but……after this he would surely be doing Hybrids until he fell asleep, and he also wouldn’t be allowed to just fall asleep through the night. In that case, it also wasn’t bad for him to clean his body while he could right now. He persuaded himself like that.

「──Right. Then, I’ll wash my body.」

Kizuna whispered to himself and stood up.

The moment he rose from the bathtub, the bathroom’s door was opened loudly.

「Masters will wash your baaack!!」

「UWAaAAAAAAAAAAAH!?」

The six Masters were all present. Of course all of them were only wearing accessories.

「This attire is really convenient to enter the bath just like this isn’t it♪」

Saying that Scarlet snapped her fingers and the other members entered while carrying various things like a beach mat, body soap, and so on. But no matter how he looked at it he thought that the water gun was unnecessary.

「E, err Scarlet, you don’t really need to do something like that right now, after all later──」

Scarlet shook her finger and responded.

「No good, no good, before that I want to do it with all the Masters’ members first. I work with this team a lot, and today you still haven’t done it with us yet.」

Clementine and Sharon put down two large beach mats side by side. With that six people might get on it at the same time. The mats were the type that was inflated with air, so Henrietta and Leila got on them and confirmed that there was no problem.

Leila made a thumbs up sign.

「Yeees, the preparations are ok! Today will be a great service that bleeds money. It’s free of charge after all!」

Scarlet pushed Kizuna’s back and made him get on the mat.

「Now now, lay down here.」

She forcefully made Kizuna lay down face up and he was surrounded by six people around him.

「I’ll make full use of the Connective Hybrid experience with Yurishia~♪」

Scarlet turned over a bottle of body soap and began to directly drip the content on Kizuna’s chest. She spilled it carelessly on his chest and stomach that a whole bottle was fully emptied.

「Then, everyone! GO AHEAD!」

「YES MA’AM!」

They ganged up and began to rub Kizuna’s body. Bubbles were produced in large amount immediately and it became something amazing. When the Masters bunch were like this, there was nothing that could be done except letting them do as they pleased. Kizuna also made use of his experience and gave up.

──’Hm?’

It was only Gertrude who didn’t get involved and sitting still while staring at Kizuna. When Scarlet also noticed that, she beckoned at Gertrude.

「What’s up? Come over here already.」

「Eh……no, I’m……」

Gertrude scratched on her cheek embarrassedly. Clementine became impatient and pulled on her hand.

「Come on, what is the person with the greatest achievement in the fight versus Odin hesitating for.」

「No no no! The amazing one was boss and boss’s big sis, I’m telling you that I didn’t do anything significant!」

Clementine frowned feeling that it was troublesome.

「It’s the fact that you defeated her right? It’s fine, just don’t think too much about that kinda thing!」

Scarlet also nodded smilingly.

「Right right. We will leave you the most important spot.」

Gertrude was made to sit between Kizuna’s opened legs.

「Are you damn saying that this is a good place……」

Henrietta took off her cloudy glasses and wiped the lens with her fingertip.

「It’s the important point strategically after all. And Gertrude is also the one with the most experience.」

「I, I am?」

Gertrude made a taken aback face, to which Leila tilted her head.

「Because, when we were fighting against Vatlantis, you were together with Kizuna-kun just the two of you right?」

「Well that’s, it’s true……」

Scarlet thrust up her hand and ordered.

「Then, everyone, once again let’s gooo!」

‘Oooo’, Along with their voices, the six people reached out their hands toward Kizuna.

Having his body washed by six naked beautiful girls made him felt for real that this was something in a different dimension from the usual Hybrid. This was Masters whose members were rough and unrefined in some aspects, but the hands crawling around Kizuna’s body were really soft. The breasts that were shaking along with their body’s movements each had their own individuality that he didn’t get bored of watching.

On top of that, having his vital spot grasped by Gertrude made him strangely embarrassed and excited.

「Good grief, boss is damn tough eh……」

Gertrude was making an exasperated face at the thing that was rapidly increasing in hardness inside her hands. However there was happiness dwelling in her voice. Before she knew it she was polishing Kizuna’s thing passionately.

Her hand moved from the gleaming head part and the narrowing part below it. And then from the rugged trunk part to below, there was the important organ that was creating life energy. Gertrude carefully and diligently washed it. What was inside her hand was the very key that controlled the fate of the world. But, her fingertips were moving gently, as though she was handling an important thing with a feeling that came from more than just that fact.

「Theeen next, we will wash you using our whole body. Leila, Sharon! Plaster soap on Gertrude with your all. Clementine, wash the bubbles on Kizuna for now.」

「Roger!」

Leila sprinkled body soap over Gertrude’s body while Sharon rubbed her hand on Gertrude’s chest and stomach to make it bubble up.

「Wa, wawa, both of you! It damn tickles!」

「Don’t struggle!」

「With this……ok. Ei-」

Sharon pushed Gertrude’s back.

「Uwawah!?」

Gertrude fell on Kizuna.

「A, are you okay, Ger-san?」

「I, I’m damn fine……」

Gertrude rubbed the foam sticking on her nose tip while replying. Scarlet talked triumphantly towards such Gertrude.

「As the reward for your achievement, we will give you time for single match for a while.」

‘How is it? You’re happy right?’ Scarlet seemed like she wanted to say that. Gertrude returned a complicated smile to her.

「Bu, but──」

Right at that timing, the sound of the bathroom’s door opening resounded once more.

「Hm? What, you are here huh.」

「My, just when I thought that I didn’t see you anywhere……what’s more you’re together with Masters.」

Who entered were Clayda and Elma of Quartum. Lunorlla and Ramza also came from behind them.

「Ah……a lot of people are inside.」

「Aaaa, but this is a nice timing isn’t it?」

Leaving behind Gertrude who was leaning on Kizuna, the remaining five people got down from the beach mats. And then they faced the four Quartum from the front.

Clayda glared at Scarlet fiercely.

「Are you trying to steal a march on us?」

「What about you yourself. But Kizuna is in the middle of a party with Masters now.」

The gaze of the two teams clashed fiercely.

Kizuna and Gertrude reflexively looked at each other’s faces seeing that sudden confrontation mode.

Scarlet put her hand on her waist and sighed deeply.

「──Well, perhaps it’s better if we too let bygones be bygones and get along with each other.」

「Uh huh. I guess. After all, between us……」

Clayda also crossed her arms and pondered.

「……was there something?」

The members of Masters also showed a troubled look. Scarlet wracked her brain while saying.

「Come to think of it, there was nothing between us huh.」

「Yeah. Thinking carefully, there was almost no point of contact between us. At most I only thought of you all as a boisterous team in the academy, that’s all.」

「We too had no business with the student council……well, right now we are giving our accomplished squad member a reward you see.」

Clayda looked at Gertrude who was straddling Kizuna and she made an understanding look.

「Aa……in that case we’ll wait until she is finished.」

「We too, let’s warm our bodies for now.」

Scarlet and co. used the shower to wash off the foam on their bodies before dipping into the hot water. Then everyone harmoniously made talk with each other as though they had forgotten the existence of Kizuna and Gertrude.

The two who were left behind alone were staring at that situation wordlessly.

「……We, well. It’s no use even if we stay like this, right?」

「Da, damn right. We have reached this far……」

They were gradually getting embarrassed when they stared at each other. They reflexively averted their gaze from each other.

「Somehow……right, it’s embarrassing acting too formally.」

「Yo, you’re right. Feeling like this with Ger-san at this late hour is……like, you feel different from other girls.」

Doing something like that with a partner that they thought nothing of except as friends. There was a strange feeling that made their hearts beat fast from that. This might be an immoral feeling that they couldn’t obtain if their relationship wasn’t like this.

「It might be too late asking this but, can you stop with that Ger-san at least when it’s a situation like this?」

「You’ve got a point I guess.」

Kizuna laughed. Then he put his hand on Gertrude’s back. Gertrude too entrusted her body to Kizuna.

「Gertrude. You were a big help when fighting Odin. Thank you.」

「What are you damn saying at this point. I’m boss’s partner after all……whoops.」

Gertrude slid her body and rubbed her meager breasts on Kizuna’s chest.

「This is a rare chance, I’ll accept everyone’s good will and monopolize boss now.」

She spoke with a light tone to hide her embarrassment and rubbed the thing that she had developed to be hard just now with her abdomen.

「Nh……afu」

The hardened thing stimulated Gertrude herself. The pleasure that she tasted after so long caused Gertrude to feel dizzy.

「Wa, was it this damn hard before……」

Gertrude’s cheeks immediately flushed and her eyes also grew intoxicated. Her face looked cute, which caused Kizuna to unconsciously move his waist too. He wanted to make Gertrude felt good too, that was what he was thinking.

「Do, don’t, boss……I’m the one, servicing……ukyah!?」

Because Gertrude’s body was slippery from the body soap, she slipped and fell on Kizuna’s side. Kizuna embraced Gertrude’s body so she wouldn’t slip away.

「So, sorry……」

「It’s nothing big with the relation between me and Ger-sa…..Gertrude right? You don’t need to say thanks or anything for something like this.」

Gertrude smiled wryly.

「That, isn’t it the same as what I said before this?」

「That’s true.」

Kizuna and Gertrude leaked out a chuckle from holding back their laughter.

「It’s fine already, even if boss calls me Ger-san.」

「I see……」

Kizuna made his left arm to be an arm pillow for Gertrude, then with his right hand he caressed her childish figure.

「Nn♡……good grief, boss is so damn skilled that it’s irritating……」

Gertrude also pulled her hand and she caressed around from Kizuna’s chest until his abs as though confirming their shape.

「It’s getting a bit more muscled than before isn’t it?」

「But Ger-san who says that doesn’t change at all.」

Gertrude made a pouting face and her hand reached even lower.

Gertrude used the fingers of both her hands to entwine on Kizuna’s thing.

「!……Ger-san too……you are quite, something.」

She moved her fingers softly, causing Kizuna’s arousal to become more severe.

However Kizuna too didn’t stay quiet. He caressed her small breasts and rolled the pink bud at the center with his palm.

「FUaAAAH!♡ Tha, that kind of attack is, da, damn unfaiiir♡」

It abruptly stood erect inside Kizuna’s hand.

「What are you saying while holding someone’s vital spot in your hand……but Ger-san has also gotten hard here.」

「-Geez! Don’t comment about every single thing!」

Kizuna’s hand left the breast to caress around her stomach and waist before enjoying the sensation of her butt.

「Your butt is small like usual……but is it tighter than before?」

「Nnu……who, who knows, since my rehabilitation, I was doing nothing but damn……trai, ning after all.」

「I see.」

The technique she used when defeating Odin was something that she was always doing, it wasn’t something particularly worth mentioning. Rather than technique it was more like a craft, that was what Gertrude herself said.

「It’s the fruit of you steadily training daily.」

「Heh? Wha, what is……nh! AaAAH!」

Kizuna’s fingers left her butt and finally got into Gertrude’s secret part from the front.

「Tha, that place is……AaAA♡ Don’t, do, it, damn……I, felt it, too much-!♡」

Gertrude complained how good it felt with a face that looked like she was going to cry. It was really cute and erotic.

In the battle against the Deus ex Machina, her strength couldn’t be a match against the enemy and there was no place for her to play an active role. But even like that she didn’t crumble, instead she continued working hard doing what she could. No matter how many times she was injured and got hospitalized, every time she would get healed and then return to the battlefield. And then, when the time came where she was needed, she displayed the fruit of her habitual training and accomplished her role.

──’Good grief,’

「You’re just too cool, Ger-san.」

「Hah, aah! Wha, what are you……talking──」

Kizuna stole Gertrude’s lips.

「Nn……nn, nh!?」

After a moment of delay Gertrude opened her eyes wide in surprise. However she immediately became intoxicated with the sweet sensation of their lips joining together. Even after their lips separated, Gertrude was unable to speak for a while.

「Tha, that was……my damn, first kiss……」

「Sorry, I was unconsciously……did you hate it?」

Gertrude narrowed her eyes and stared at Kizuna with a melting smile.

「……it might turn into a habit.」

Gertrude stretched her neck and this time she kissed Kizuna from her end. And then with their lips kept pressed to each other, they sent pleasure to each other’s important part that was being touched by each other’s hand.

「Nh♡ Kufuh……nn, nnan♡」

Kizuna parted Gertrude’s lips and his tongue slipped inside. At first Gertrude’s tongue pulled away in fright, but while the inside of her mouth was being caressed by Kizuna’s tongue, her body relaxed bit by bit and before she noticed their tongues had entwined from her initiative.

「♡unh……haa……Boooss♡ Nku……nh, nnuh♡」

The intense pleasure welling up from the lower body and the sweet pleasure flowing in from inside the mouth burst inside the body, exploding in chain reaction, the carnality of the two was heightened until the very limit. The light enveloping the bodies of the two shined dazzlingly, and then──exploded.

「NNNNN♡──HAaAH! A, AaA, AAAAAAAANNNNNN♡♡♡」

Gertrude bent her body backwards and shrieked. Her body was convulsing repeatedly, expressing her joy. Kizuna too also spewed out the explosion of his pleasure into Gertrude’s hand.

Both of them were drifting inside the pleasant sense of fatigue.

「……Both of you are getting really hot eh.」

「──Eh?」

When Kizuna and Gertrude opened their eyes, without them noticing, Masters and Quartum were thoroughly observing in appreciation around them.

The face of Gertrude that was dyed red and flushed became even redder.

「Wha, what are you all damn doing watching like that-!」

Scarlet muttered with a taken aback look.

「Nooo, just thinking, perhaps you two are really serious with each other……like that.」

Clayda also folded her arms.

「Perhaps it’s necessary to report this, just in case.」

「Do, don’t say stupid things! It’s not like that I’m telling you!」

Gertrude tried to leap to her feet, but her body didn’t listen to her. Strength couldn’t enter her waist, so she rolled on the beach mat and took distance from Kizuna.

「Now, it’s enough for me already, so next everyone have your damn fun!」

All the Masters from Scarlet to the rest were thinking warmly of such Gertrude.

「Yes yes. Then, let’s do just that. Then, next is our turn─!」

‘Oooo!’ Along with such enthusiastic shout, Masters and Quartum rushed Kizuna.

Chapter 4 – Harem Hybrid – Second Day

Part 1

Kizuna suddenly opened his eyes.

The morning sunlight was shining in from the window. A chandelier was dangling from the tall ceiling.

For a moment he didn’t understand where he was.

──’That’s right, right now I’m in the middle of Harem Hybrid. It’s……the second day.’

He recalled last night with a brain that was still half-asleep.

After going out from the bathroom, he was caught by Landred……he did Connective Hybrid together with Gravel and Aldea who were passing by chance……he was exhausted and returned to his room. He remembered until that point. He might have collapsed onto his bed and then slept completely. When Kizuna was thinking that, suddenly he felt an out of place feeling at his crotch.

That sensation was becoming stronger the clearer his head became, he raised his head in hurry towards that hot and damp sensation.

「Mu, are you awake. Good morning Nii-sama♡」

「Ki, Kizuna? Good morning.」

The sister pair of Grace and Aine were cordially licking his towering thing. He wondered how long they had been at it. Their cheeks were pressed with each other while kissing Kizuna’s thing. And then the two tongues were expediting Kizuna’s awakening.

Thanks to that, Kizuna’s thing was completely pointing to the ceiling. It was waking up a step earlier than Kizuna himself. He didn’t know if it was standing up because of the morning phenomenon, or because of Grace and Aine.

「Both of you, why are you here this early……」

Grace answered with a chipper smile.

「Right. Because it seems that waking up like this every morning is a custom in Lemuria.」

「I once investigated it in the past. That……this is how you wake up your lover.」

Kizuna felt like he was pulled back to the far away past that became nostalgic right now.

「About that knowledge……it’s wrong.」

However Kizuna’s explanation didn’t reach the two, they continued to lick Kizuna’s thing as though possessed.

In the end after that, he was wrung out a lot by Aine and Grace.

Part 2

In order to have breakfast, everyone was gathering inside the dining hall.

Kizuna quickly drank from the morning the mysterious drink Red Harem that was developed by the Research Department, and then he was going to head to the table where the food was lined up, pondering what he was going to eat.

「Heey, Kizuna.」

Scarlet called out to Kizuna.

「There is our recommended menu here, won’t you try it?」

「Recommendation?」

Henrietta who was standing behind Scarlet cut in to give an additional explanation.

「Yes. It seems to be a menu that is greatly popular in New York, so we tried reproducing it with the available ingredients here.」

「Hee……what kind of cooking is it?」

Kizuna surveyed the lined up dishes.

「Aa, it’s not put here. After all we made it for Kizuna.」

「That makes me happy but……」

He had a bad premonition.

Before Kizuna could ask in detail, Scarlet clapped her hand together.

「It’s okay─! Bring it here─」

The door of the dining hall opened and Gertrude, Clementine, Sharon, and Leila were carrying in the dish. No, to be more accurate, they were carrying a stretcher.

And then when the stretcher was put on the table, the thing that was carried in it became clear.

「What the-……!?」

It was sweets that were decorated with fresh cream and fruits like strawberry and cherry. It was a masterpiece that was really sweet and lovely, truly like the miracle of god.

The cheeks that blushed like peach, the dainty gaze that was like a candy statue. The shining lips that was like candy coating and skin that was like white chocolate. The molding that expressed an immature body was also splendid, while the hair that was like terrifyingly thin omelet cut into strips looked exactly like the real Sylvia──,

「Ca, captain……it’s embarrassing desu. But, please eat Sylvia……desu.」

──No matter how he saw it, it was only Sylvia who got coated with fresh cream.

「Sy……Sylvia-!? Yo, you, what are you doing!?」

「Yesterday captain didn’t really get affectionate with Sylvia desu. Different from everyone, perhaps Sylvia doesn’t have charm……was what Sylvia thought desu.」

Kizuna tried recalling the events of yesterday.

Certainly, yesterday he wasn’t really interacting with Sylvia. He didn’t have composure in his heart and he might have only gotten carried away by the flow doing whatever that first came to mind.

「When Sylvia was discussing it with Ragrus-chan, everyone of Masters were passing by, and they taught Sylvia that surely captain would be happy if it’s with Japan’s traditional 『Nyotaimori』 desu.」

Kizuna’s shoulders dropped dejectedly.

「Just what are you all making the pure Sylvia do……just what are you saying is popular in New York huh?」

「What’s with you, it’s not like we’re tricking you.」

「Yes. We saw it on the internet before the war. It was extremely popular, and restaurants that were adding Nyotaimori to their menus were also increasing it said.」

It was an extremely suspicious piece of information. But Scarlet was full of confidence.

「Besides, it’s the fact that it’s so cute that you want to eat it right?」

「Well……that’s」

It was a fact that he couldn’t deny.

「Anyway……sorry, Sylvia. I’m making you feel lonely like that……」

「It’s fine desu. If captain will look at Sylvia, Sylvia is happy with that desu.」

「Waiiitt! How long you’re going to make me wait here!!」

An angry yell resounded from outside the dining hall.

「Ah, no good. We kept leaving her in the corridor.」

The Masters panickedly rushed outside before bringing in one more plate of sweets that was once again a person on a stretcher. This one was the Ragrus fruit and fresh cream platter.

「I see, so Ragrus is going along with Sylvia huh. Thanks for that.」

When Kizuna smiled, Ragrus snorted.

「It’s not like you need to thank me. I’m just doing as I please. Rather than that, something like making Sylvia lonely is what I find unforgivable though.」

「Certainly……sorry.」

「Err, Ragrus-chan. Sylvia isn’t……」

「Just make it up properly to her.」

Ragrus spoke with caustic words like that before averting her face with a huff.

「You’re right……then, I’ll have Sylvia now.」

「Ye, yes……please dig in desu.」

Kizuna tried to take the strawberry placed on the tip of the breast, but he gave up doing that.

──’This is, it’s better to eat it directly using my mouth, huh?’

Kizuna brought his face close to Sylvia’s breast and put the strawberry that was placed on fresh cream with a single swallow. At that time, the most sensitive place in Sylvia’s breast was also pecked by his lips from doing that.

「Haa……nn♡」

「Does it hurt?」

Sylvia shook her head left and right before answering.

「It feels good desu. Please……eat more desu.」

He brought his face close once more and directly licked the fresh cream decorating the breast.

「Hya……aA……ah……it, it tickles desu.」

However, by the time he finshed licking the fruit and the fresh cream placed on the breast, Sylvia was only able to let out gasping voices.

「Aa……haa……uhn……♡funya」

Kizuna licked in a circle at the fresh cream decorating around the navel, then he also licked at the navel while he was at it.

「HyaaAAA♡ Ca, captain……FUaAAA♡」

Sylvia’s expression changed completely to show how she felt that completely and saliva was trickling from the corner of her opened mouth.

「Then, I’ll eat the most delicious looking place now.」

The lower part had truly detailed decorations applied there. It was as though she was wearing an underwear of fresh cream. There, mango, peach, and melon that was cut into small pieces were adding into the decoration.

He didn’t know who was the one among Masters that did this, but Kizuna was in admiration to that person’s unexpected talent.

It felt like a waste to lick it, but it was useless to only keep appreciating it. Kizuna licked from the part where an underwear string would be at and then moved slowly to the center.

He moistened his throat with the fruit toppings, and then he finally arrived at the deep part of the opened legs.

「AAauh♡ Ca, captain, that spot is the end desuu」

Sylvia whose whole body was thoroughly caressed had the skin of her whole body dyed faintly pink, her body kept twitching. However, from Kizuna’s point of view, it looked very inviting to him.

「No, I still haven’t finished eating.」

「Fue……?」

He feasted on the sweet that was Sylvia herself.

「HYAaAHANNNNN♡♡♡」

Kizuna crawled his tongue on the soft flesh of fruit and tasted the inside part.

「FUNYAaAAAH♡ AaAHNN, ca, captain, that’s, not fruits desuu, there, is Sylvia’s ──FYAaAAAA ♡♡」

However, each time his tongue licked and his mouth sucked, it was as though the juice of the juicy fruit was squeezed out, sweet honey was flowing out in large amount. Perhaps because of this space and the juice mixed with nectar that was offered as a drink, the honey really tasted like fruit.

Staring at the state of Kizuna and Sylvia, Ragrus smiled in relieve.

「What’s this……she is letting out a happy voice like that.」

「In that case we will be the ones who dig into the Ragrus sweets.」

「……heh?」

Zelcyone and Quartum were surrounding Ragrus. Ragrus’s complexion quickly turned pale.

「N, no, I’m looking like this only to accompany Sylvia! So you all don’t need to force yourself eating……KYAaAAAAAAAAAAH!」

Having her body licked around by five people caused it to become Sylvia’s turn to stare this time. She and Kizuna reflexively looked at each other and chuckled.

「He, hey, Kizuna?」

「Hm? What’s the matter Yurishia?」

When he turned around, over there he found a dessert too. Furthermore, it was something cute like Sylvia, but a queen size with great impact.

「I also want to be eaten by Kizuna♥」

Fruit slices like pineapple and orange were placed on the big breasts she was proud of, with fresh cream drawing hearts mark around it.

「Ahaha……what a large serving.」

「Ufufu, how about relishing this one too?」

An outrageous extra large portion that excelled Yurishia came.

It was Landred who was placing her own breasts on a tray. A human who was able to do something like that were few in number. It was truly king size.

「Geez, have mine first.」

「No no, he is a young boy. It has to be this much volume at least♪」

Kizuna couldn’t hold back and yelled.

「There is no way I can eat that much sweets-!」

Part 3

「Is this Onee-chan’s room?」

「That’s right. Well, it’s not a change for the better though.」

Certainly it was really similar with the room that was allotted to Kizuna. Looking really carefully, he could see that the furnishing and decorations were different. Inside the room there was also a large table like an office desk and chair that Kizuna’s room didn’t have.

「Eh? Shikina-san?」

Kei was fiddling with her keyboard busily on that desk. And then, *tap* along with that sound of hitting the key, Kizuna was assaulted with a sensation that was like light dizziness.

──’Eh? This is similar to the sensation of the usual Love Room.’

「Shikina-san. Just now……」

The face of everyone who was staring at Kizuna was──strange.

「Ne……Nee-chan, everyone, just what is──!?★♀〆」

Kizuna looked down on his own body and he was astonished.

He couldn’t see the floor. The reason was because unexpectedly there was abundant breasts there.

「Wha-!?」

He turned towards the mirror on the wall as though he was lit on fire.

Over there, was a girl who really resembled Reiri.

Kizuna’s mind recalled Reiri’s Core install.

「……This is, don’t tell me this is that experimental Love Room called Chronos……」

『Exactly. This is a recycling of a part of Chronos’s function.』

Kizuna had gone past through surprise right into exasperation. He hung his head down.

「Really, everything goes huh……nevertheless」

When he saw his figure that was reflected on the mirror──his heart spontaneously throbbed.

His appearance was like two peas in a pod with Reiri’s look when she was in high school, though he got the feeling that he didn’t have her awe inspiring air. In exchange, the figure had cuteness. A body that was slender and tight. The breasts were far smaller than Reiri’s, but even so they were still splendid and the balance as a whole wasn’t bad. Rather, he thought that he looked really beautiful. Even if he compared this look with everyone inside this villa, it didn’t look that inferior……

──’Wait! What am I doing getting charmed by my own look!?’

「Nee-chan! Why am I turned like this!?」

「Sorry. However, with Valdy it can’t be helped.」

Reiri sent a glance to the corner of the room. Ahead of her gaze there was Valdy standing there without him noticing. She was staring fixedly at him.

「Kizuna, I’ll have you do Connective Hybrid with Valdy using that appearance. Of course, I’ll also join in.」

He didn’t understand what with the ‘of course’, but the pressure of his big sister overwhelmed him and he couldn’t say anything back.

「However something like this to Valdy is──uwah!?」

Valdy was right beside him when he noticed. Her face was so close it almost touched.

「Cute……my princess. Furthermore, even Reiri-sama will be together……I’m convinced. I was born for the sake of this day. When this is over, I won’t mind even if I die right at that moment.」

She said that while going teary eyed.

「No……doing Hybrid will be meaningless if it turn out like that.」

When Kizuna retorted like that, a severe pleasure ran in his chest.

「Hmm, it’s quite splendid. Though it’s smaller than mine when I was your age.」

Reiri had circled behind him unnoticed and groped Kizuna’s chest.

「Ne, Nee-chan-! So suddenly──ah♥ aAAH!」

Kei’s eyes became bloodshot and she rushed in front of the two. And then she took a picture of the two with the camera that was installed in her portable keyboard.

「Wai-, Shikina-san!」

『Important reference data. There is no way I can miss it.』

「Really!? It’s not simply for your own hobby!?」

「Kei said to me that she will also participate in the Connective Hybrid by her own choice. She doesn’t have a Core, so there is no direct effect, but she will surely bring an effect mentally for us.」

「Uu……」

Kei must be imagining what was going to happen after this, because her cheeks were reddening and she hid her chest. However she took her keyboard into her hand once more as though she was thinking back.

『You cannot capture a tiger cub without entering the tiger’s den. I want to watch with my naked eyes no matter what.』

「In the end aren’t you only want to wa──nnkuh!♥ Ne, Nee-chan, sto──aAAHN♥」

Reiri’s eyes were already dyed with desire.

「Fufu, you are making a nice voice, Kizuna. You were always doing whatever you liked to me. But this time I’ll take the lead completely.」

Kizuna’s spine shivered with a chill.

──’No good. Here I’ll use the tactic to invite sympathy!’

Kizuna made his eyes teary and he looked up at Reiri while trembling.

「O, Onee-chan……I’m, scared……tha, that’s why……something like this……」

The effect was completely the opposite.

「KIZUNAaAAAAAAAAAA-!」

Reiri pushed down Kizuna on the bed heartily.

「KIZUNA-SAMAaaaAAAAA-, I WANT TO EAT YOUUuuUU♥」

Valdy dived onto the bed.

「NOoOOOOOOOOOOOOO!」

After that, Kizuna was deliciously eaten……completely.

Part 4

Even after that Kizuna was working hard to do Hybrid even busier than the first day.

Even during the middle of lunch, and then in the afternoon too, he was performing Hybrid busily.

And then, at night.

After finishing taking a bath and resting for a while, the time to retire to bed arrived.

Kizuna headed towards the prepared bedroom, walking through the corridor.

Today he wouldn’t sleep in his own room, but in a special bedroom that was prepared.

It was finally the main event of Harem Hybrid, the climax.

That was to say, after this would be his real duty.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the result of tonight would decide the result of the battle against Thanatos.

The moonlight was shining in from the corridor’s window.

The bright moon made the sea and mountain to mystically stand out.

Kizuna unconsciously stopped walking and he watched that sight in fascination. He thought about his world Lemuria and the world of Atlantis that was beyond that scenery.

He would take everything back. Without fail.

And then, they would return home.

With not a single one of them missing.

For that sake, he wanted to grant to everyone the strongest weapon, the greatest strength.

And then he too, the power to protect everyone──.

Kizuna started walking once more.

The room he was heading to was the hall deep inside the villa. Normally it was a room where a party or a ball would be held.

He stood in front of its door.

A different world opened in front of Kizuna’s eyes.

The interior of the room was completely renovated for the sake of the Harem Hybrid.

Magic power flames were floating inside the dark room. Pink colored light was dying the white wall with an obscene color. There were angel statues sensually twisting their body at the pillars and walls. The ornaments that were the most extravagant and massive in this villa became a part of the Harem Hybrid.

A red carpet was stretching straight as though to guide Kizuna. Ahead of it the space became a stairway shaped with around six steps, with a fighting ring waiting at the topmost step. It was a huge bed that was like several king sized beds lined up together. And then on the stairway, the females who were Kizuna’s opponents were lining up as though their commemorative photograph was going to be taken.

Shikina Kei who originally should be an observer, and also his mother who didn’t show her face even once since the meeting together on the first day, Hida Nayuta, the two were standing on the very front.

「Kizuna, first let’s start from the opening ceremony of Harem Hybrid.」

With a fan in one hand, Nayuta smiled enchantingly with her little girl’s appearance.

「You will do individual confirmation with everyone here one by one.」

「Individual confirmation?」

「The inside of this room is a special space, even more special than the space inside this villa. The system that is managing this space needs the confirmation between fellow individuals who are participating in the Harem Hybrid. In other words it’s like the linking of who is doing Hybrid with who.」

Kizuna nodded in comprehension.

「First touch my body with your hand, and then caress around as though to confirm the shape.」

Kizuna kneeled and touched the tip of Nayuta’s breast. Nayuta’s body twitched. The left and right breasts that were mostly flat each had a part where only that spot was jutting out. He caressed those spots with his fingertip. Then Nayuta’s childish face warped with pleasure.

「Kizuna……raise your face.」

When he obediently lifted his face, his mother’s lips plugged Kizuna’s mouth. And then she tightly embraced Kizuna’s neck. It was a kiss that was filled with affection. When Nayuta separated her lips from him, she stared at Kizuna with moist eyes.

「……Kaa-san.」

「Kizuna, I……」

A gaze that looked emotional was staring at Kizuna. She looked like she was trying to convey something. However her small lips were closed and then her expression returned to her usual arrogant smile.

「Fufufu, confirm the lower part properly too.」

Nayuta straightened her spine and opened her legs.

「Yeah……」

His hand crawled on Nayuta’s hairless hill just like he was told. Something hot was trickling slowly from inside the chasm there.

「Confirm the inside properly too……and then kiss there.」

When Kizuna opened the valley with his left hand’s fingers, he could see a beautiful graphic color. When his finger tip entered there, the flesh tightened hard on his fingertip welcomingly.

And then when he pulled out his finger, he kissed there.

「Then stand up.」

When he stood up, this time it was Nayuta who bent her knees. And then he untied his waistcloth and threw it away on the floor. She put her lips *chuu* on the tip of Kizuna’s thing.

「Yes, it’s fine now. Those are the order of progression. Do it like that with everyone.」

Nayuta’s sudden order caused not just Kizuna, but also all the women lining up on the stair to hold their breath simultaneously. And then, the sound of gulping saliva could be heard strangely loudly.

Kizuna almost faltered, but he then encouraged himself, that he mustn’t get cold feet with just this much.

There was Kei standing right behind Nayuta. She shouldn’t be directly related to this, but just in case his hand reached out to her.

「Uh……aA……」

Kei’s vocal cords displayed her raw voice to Kizuna. Certainly she had a childish body build, but compared to Nayuta who was genuinely a little girl, there were obvious differences. She properly had the constriction of her waist and also a degree of fleshiness that was adult-like.

He felt awkward that he didn’t only need to snatch Kei’s lips, but that he also needed to clearly do until her essential parts but……it couldn’t be helped. Midway Kei covered her face with her hands from her shyness. Her face couldn’t be seen, but her ears were dyed bright red.

At the end she didn’t kiss toward Kizuna, so Kizuna looked questioningly at Nayuta. Then Nayuta shook her head to show that it wasn’t a problem. Kei was only participating indirectly, so this much should be alright.

After he finished the individual confirmation and separated from Kei, the face that she was hiding appeared. That face that was drowned with pleasure was without a doubt the face of an adult woman. Kizuna faced towards the next woman.

「Kizuna……I’ll leave it to you.」

「……Nee-chan.」

There was no way he would mistake Reiri’s body even with his eyes closed. Even if he didn’t touch it, he would understand just from the scent. After caressing around her body in general, he then kissed on her secret lips.

「Nh♡……fufu, then I too」

Reiri kneeled in front of Kizuna, then her lips pushed *chuu* on Kizuna’s tip that was already entering battle readiness.

「Kizuna-sama.」

It seemed doing Hybrid with Valdy in a female appearance bore fruit. Even with his male appearance there was almost no resistance from her. His hand crawled around her slim body that looked like a model and he also kissed on her important part. And then Valdy also kneeled and gave him a kiss.

「Hida-kun, take care of me.」

Landred smiled sweetly.

「Yes. Sensei too.」

After he replied so, she kissed Kizuna with a really happy look. He desperately groped her explosive breasts that were pressing on him. When their lips separated, they exchanged greeting to each other’s important place.

「Hi, Hida-kun……」

Hyakurath called Kizuna’s name without confidence. But the timid sword saint was a person who could do it if she tried. She even finished the ceremony of individual confirmation safely even while looking bewildered. Hyakurath’s honey was dripping along the inside of her thighs and trickled until her ankles.

「Hmph」

Mercuria made a face that said how reluctant she was of doing this. However, she properly followed the procedure of individual confirmation. Her inside was completely prepared.

「Show me the best that you can do.」

Zelcyone spoke condescendingly. Kizuna recalled her cute appearance when they were doing reinstall in the hot spring inn. She gave him an unexpected passionate kiss. And then it was also the same when she kissed Kizuna’s thing.

「Well it might be too late saying this but……treat me well.」

Clayda said with a troubled expression. And then he kissed Clayda for the first time. He confirmed her relatively slender body. They greeted each other’s important part and finished the ceremony.

「Please do your best.」

Elma greeted him courteously. Her body was soft and felt pleasant to touch. They lightly joined their lips, then they stared at each other’s thing properly for the first time, and exchanged a kiss.

「Le……let’s do our best.」

Lunorlla greeted him awkwardly. The scars carved on her body drew out her beauty even more. After a kiss where their front teeth lightly collided, Kizuna kissed her warm moist lips. Lunorlla too carefully held Kizuna’s thing with her hand and kissed it.

「You the man, Kizuna!」

Ramza brightly spoke in high tension. She kept grinning all the time even during the greeting, but perhaps it could be that she was hiding her embarrassment. There were heart shaped tattoos on her chest and abdomen which were really sexy. They finished the individual confirmation without any hold up.

「Let’s do our best, Kizuna.」

Scarlet Fairchild. The bright and positive leader of Masters. Perhaps Masters acted with freedom exactly because she was the leader. He had experience doing Hybrid with her several times. They carried out the ceremony in a state of knowing each other well.

「Kizuna. Let’s raise the chance of success as high as possible.」

Henrietta Macintosh. The sub-leader of Masters. She was a glasses wearing beauty, and in a glance she looked intellectual……however she looked lovely on the contrary. Actually she was the most glamorous among Masters. He had his fill of that body and finished the individual confirmation.

「……」

Gertrude Baird. Their fist bumped each other without a word. And then they easily finished the individual confirmation.

「If Kizuna works hard today, I’ll be able to shoot bullet like crazy tomorrow.」

Clementine Barrows. A countryside girl with braided hair. Their lips met candidly and then they kissed each other’s thing. During the procession she was going ‘tehehe’ making embarrassed laugh.

「……Let’s do this.」

Sharon Cunningham. The lowness of her tension didn’t change from usual. She had a childish body build next after Gertrude, but her important part was completely drenched, confessing how her anticipation towards the Harem Hybrid was heightening.

「If we save the world, will we become very rich I wonder?」

Leila Hewitt. Money fanatic. When Kizuna whispered to her ‘surely we are going to receive an awesome reward for sure’, she got excited and gave him an intense kiss. She was excited all the time throughout the individual confirmation.

「Kizuna……let’s do a fight that we won’t regret.」

Gravel. A character that should be respected with her wonderful personality whether as a human or as a warrior. The reinstall with her was really passionate. Kizuna thought that he wouldn’t forget it for his whole life. Her body as usual was tough, flexible, and beautiful. They carried out the individual confirmation as though it was a very important ceremony.

「I never thought that the relationship with all of you will become this long.」

Aldea. The first Vatlantis person that they met. There was a problem with her personality, but she too had been a big help for Kizuna. She was a beauty with an artistic style that could be said as perfect. The individual confirmation time unintentionally got longer.

「Are you listening? I’m doing this only for Sylvia’s sake okay?」

Ragrus. A girl who was continuously toyed by fate. She performed a deathly battle with Sylvia, and then through many twists and turns she became her best friend. She felt happy of it from the bottom of her heart. Kizuna gently kissed her. And then Ragrus properly did the individual confirmation even while acting embarrassed.

「Captain, Sylvia will be together with captain forever desu.」

Sylvia Silkcut. Kizuna’s first subordinate. When he was with Amaterasu, and even when they became allied with Vatlantis, Kizuna squad would be perpetually immortal. Kizuna kissed the subordinate he was proud of who had grown up splendidly and both of them confirmed the proof of each other’s growth.

「It’s finally the time Nii-sama. Victory will surely come to us!」

Grace Synclavia. The emperor of Vatlantis and a girl who was Kizuna’s self-proclaimed little sister. Thinking back, she was an existence who at first ruled at the summit of the enemy. In the first place, they didn’t even understand the true identity of the enemy that appeared when AU Collisions occurred. And now they were standing side by side with a relationship where they called each other brother and sister, so life was really a mysterious thing. They carried out individual confirmation affectionately.

「Haai, Kizuna. Feels like it’s finally the climax isn’t it☆」

Yurishia Farandole. A girl who was strong and beautiful, as though she was a hero from an American comic. She also had a great caliber as a human, anyone would accept it even when she was lauded as America’s ace and the world’s strongest. For such a girl to harbor good will to him felt like a lie to Kizuna. He once more confirmed that body that he had been thoroughly familiar with. It was a dynamite body just as usual. The lovely American hero.

「Kizuna-kun……」

Himekawa Hayuru. A girl that was like the personification of Japan’s beauty, tradition, and culture. She saved Kizuna’s life when he had just arrived in Ataraxia and was powerless. A discipline committee member who was serious, inflexible, and stubborn. The time when she proclaimed that Heart Hybrid was a shameless act and she hated the very sight of Kizuna was nostalgic. He stole that gentle and lovely lips, and then they kissed each other’s important part.

「Kizuna」

Chidorigafuchi Aine. The beginning of everything. Her life was full of disturbances. She should have been promised a future as Vatlantis’s emperor, but she was turned into Professor Nayuta’s experiment subject the same as Kizuna. She was a girl who constantly influenced Kizuna’s heart and way of life.

「Aine……」

They kissed with various emotions in it. And then in order to ascertain her existence once more, he caressed her whole body lovingly and crawled his tongue on her most important place. Aine too also kissed Kizuna’s thing attentively.

The girls who he exchanged greetings with opened a path, inviting Kizuna toward the bed. Continuing after Kizuna, the girls got on the bed that was astonishingly wide one after another.

And then after they lined up in a circle surrounding Kizuna, they got on all fours and turned their butt toward Kizuna.

Nayuta turned toward Kizuna and smiled.

「First do Heart Hybrid with everyone. After you have finished with that, the girls might lose consciousness but, please do Hybrid with Kizuna again starting from the one who wakes up. It doesn’t matter how many you are doing it with simultaneously or with whom. Do as your heart wants. Hybrid between fellow female is also welcomed.」

The butts of twenty six individuals were turned towards him. There were also some who were looking up at Kizuna across their shoulders with moist eyes filled with anticipation.

「Now, it doesn’t matter from who you will start with.」

Prompted by Nayuta, Kizuna took a step forward.

He was troubled being told that starting from anyone was fine. However nothing would begin if he just stayed still. If he was going to choose someone then──,

Kizuna subconsciously approached the back of the silver haired girl and got on his knees.

「Ki-, Kizuna-! Ple, please start from me!」

Gravel suddenly pleaded.

The gaze of Gravel who was looking back across her shoulder and Kizuna met. Everyone was surprised, but it looked like the person herself who said that was the one most surprised. Her face became bright red in the blink of an eye and she averted her eyes down to the bed.

「I’m sorry……but, I want it, Kizuna……」

「Gravel……」

Kizuna approached Gravel’s back, then he touched the glossy butt.]

「Aa……♥」

A joyful voice leaked out along with a sigh.

「Here I go Gravel.」

Kizuna positioned his thing between Gravel’s legs. It forcefully wedged in between Gravel’s closed thighs. Kizuna’s thing was caught up at the secret entrance inside it.

「UAah!♥ Mo, more, more until deeper!」

Kizuna’s thing was soaked plenty by Gravel’s hot liquid and it flattened her most sensitive bud.

「AaAAAAaH! A, amazing-♥ Ki, Kizuna-, KIZUNAaAA-!♥」

Her body arched and she honestly expressed her happiness. The other girls were staring at her with envious looks.

「Next I’ll……」「Going ahead by herself……not fair」「Even I」「She looks like she is feeling really good……how nice」 Everyone’s anticipation was heightening respectively. Other person’s coquettish voices and the magic power of the Harem Hybrid secreting from the body were granting unseen influence to everyone there.

Aldea was watching in appreciation at Gravel’s joyful face from the special seat right beside her.

「Fufu, geez Gravel……that’s a cute──nnhooh!♥」

Suddenly a pleasure that was like a shock to the brain ran through Aldea from her crotch.

When she turned around while enduring the pleasure, Kizuna’s hand was reaching toward Aldea’s crotch.

「Ki, Kizuna? Wait, right now Gravel is……NNHAaAAAAaaaAAH♥」

「It’s also not good to make other wait too long after all.」

Kizuna’s fingers opened Aldea’s slit, and then his fingertip caressed the center. However normally she shouldn’t feel pleasure that intensely with just this much.

「Ku……as expected, from…… Harem Hybrid-, aah♥ Kuuh, hah」

Landred who was lining up at Gravel’s other side was enjoyably listening to the gasping voices of the duo.

「Ufufu, doing this intimate friend duo together. What a great development──nnh♡」

Landred also opened her eyes wide from the pleasure that also suddenly welled up inside her womb.

「M, my? Hida-kun. Me too?」

She said that and turned around with a bewitching glance.

「Landred-sensei is a formidable enemy after all. I have to attack as much as possible while you are defenseless like this.」

「My♡ I’m looking forward to it. Nnh, aa……amazing, there, it’s lovely……♡」

She was acting composed, but that place of Landred was already plenty wet, it was accepting Kizuna’s fingers happily.

Gravel’s back was trembling.

「A, aah Kizuna-♥ I feel, strange-……why am I, feeling it, this much-! AaAAAAAAAAAAAA♥」

「You’re going to come already?」

Gravel shook her head in denial with her hair turning disarrayed.

「N, no-! I still, don’t want to come-. Mo, more♥ I want to feel Kizuna, more-♥」

Gravel’s lovable words caused the feeling that thought of her as adorable to well up inside Kizuna. He struck his waist strongly to convey that to her.

「Aah! That’s♥ Don’t, if you do it strongly-……♥」

「Don’t worry Gravel. The night is long. I’ll do you again later, so it’s okay for you to come now.」

Perhaps she was assured by Kizuna’s words, the surface tension of her patience crumbled immediately.

「KIZUNAaAAAAAAAAAaaA♥♥aAAAA♥AAAAAA♥♥♥」

Gravel welcomed her climax and the light of magic power burst out.

「Auh!♥ Me, me too──NNHAaAAHNNuOOOH♥♥」

「Aah, amazing-♡ Everyone’s, ple, pleasure, is transmitted──NNNN-♡♡♡」

The three’s body convulsed and hot honey spurted out from inside their bodies. And then after they trailed a long coquettish voice, they lost consciousness and fell prostrated on the bed limply.

Kizuna moved away from them, then he looked around the girls lining up waiting for him. It seemed that everyone was completely in the mood. Liquid was dribbling from their secret places with their butts fidgeting restlessly waiting for Kizuna to come.

「E, err, Kizuna-kun……」

「Ah! Me first.」

「……Don’t make me wait too long. Quickly do it.」

Every mouth pleaded to do them.

──’Yosh, next is’

Kizuna touched the butt of the next girl.

Part 5

After going through a round and everyone reached a climax, the girls came towards Kizuna starting from the one who woke up first. The girls who had completely fallen into an aroused state from the influence of the Harem Hybrid earnestly loved as though coveting Kizuna’s body. They entangled on Kizuna’s body, crawled their tongues, and held parts of his body into their mouth. They were in a state where four or five people were constantly embracing Kizuna’s body. And then sometimes they fought each other for Kizuna, sometimes they yielded Kizuna to each other, and the Hybrid was done repeatedly like that.

Right now Kizuna was embracing Zelcyone on his right and Hyakurath on his left. Kizuna was gently massaging with care the breast of the two who had reached climax several times already.

「Nn……fu♡」

Both of them were entrusting their bodies to the gentle aftermath of pleasure with an intoxicated face.

The proof of love that he released towards the two was scattered on each of their stomachs and abdomen. Valdy was licking and cleaning up what was sticking on Hyakurath’s body, while Landred was doing the same to Zelcyone.

Kizuna too didn’t understand how many times he had released. However mysteriously he didn’t wither down at all, life energy was welling up continuously from inside his body.

Even now it was towering tall. And then the thing that was soaked with love honey and Kizuna’s own liquid was being cleaned by Mercuria using her tongue and mouth.

「Chu……nh, nh……nn♥」

Mercuria who was acting that reluctantly was putting it into her mouth by her own initiative while her head was moving up and down desperately as though to say how she wanted him to release quickly.

And then there was Lunorlla straddling his right leg, while Henrietta was on his left leg. They were moving their waist to press their own secret place on that leg. They were making unbecoming coquettish voices and the bodies of the two arched.

「Ah, aah♥ A, again-, a, co, co-……ming♥……」

「Fuau♡! aAAHHNNNN♡ NN, feels go♡ go, GOOOD-!」

And then Kizuna too gave Mercuria what she wanted inside her mouth.

「Nh! Nn……fu……♥……chu-」

She narrowed her mouth and sucked up before her mouth let go. And then on all fours she brought her face closer to Hyakurath who had come down from above Kizuna.

「……Mer」

The two’s lips met.

「Nn……」

Mercuria moved what was inside her mouth and gave it to Hyakurath mouth to mouth. Their tongues entwined with each other and the proof of love was coming and going between their mouth.

It was a terrifyingly obscene, and yet also beautiful sight.

Kizuna stood up for a moment, then he was walking on the bed. Here and there above the spacious bed, there were figures collapsing from reaching climax. There were also figures of fellow females loving each other.

Kizuna got down from the bed and headed towards the resting space that was prepared along the wall. There were sofas and a table there, with a refrigerator that was filled with cold drinks.

「Eh? Nee-chan. Also Kaa-san too.」

「Kizuna, coming for a break?」

「Something like that. I’m a bit thirsty.」

Kizuna took out a canned Red Harem from the refrigerator and opened the tap. It made a refreshing sound of carbonic gas rushing out.

Reiri and Nayuta were sitting on two sofas with a table between them. Perhaps they were talking with each other about the strategy from here on. Kizuna sat down beside Reiri.

Reiri turned a considerate gaze towards Kizuna.

「Is there a problem with your body?」

「Aah, my condition is too good that it feels scary instead.」

「Fufu, Kizuna is peerless isn’t he.」

Nayuta grinned widely.

「It’s thanks to this drink, the Love Room, and also this special space. Normally it’s absolutely impossible.」

「But, you have the makings for it you know? You will surely make a lot of children.」

Kizuna replied with a wry smile.

「Kizuna, can you give me a sip too?」

Reiri said with her gaze staring at Kizuna’s Red Harem. Kizuna took a sip and then brought his face close towards Reiri very naturally.

「Nn……」

Reiri also lifted her chin and then met her lips with his as though it was natural. Red Harem was flowing in from inside Kizuna’s mouth into Reiri’s mouth.

Nayuta’s eyes turned round seeing that.

「Looking at this, it might be Reiri who will give birth to Kizuna’s child first.」

「!?」

Both of them separated their lips in a panic.

「So, sorry, Nee-chan! Eh, just why did I do something like that?」

「No, I too……I wasn’t questioning it at all. Shit, I really can’t let my guard down inside this space.」

Nayuta waved her fan and she smiled in amusement.

「Even if my first grandchild is the child of Reiri and Kizuna, I don’t really mind you know?」

「Guh……you say that, but it’s amazing how someone like you was thinking about making a child huh.」

Nayuta hid her lips behind her fan.

「I guess……at that time, I wanted to try it.」

Kizuna asked back with a doubtful face.

「Try?」

「Yes. Humans making humans, I wondered what kind of affair it was. I thought whether there was data that only the experiment subject could obtain. And then by giving birth to a child, would there be any change that happens to myself? I had that kind of interest.」

Nayuta stared at an empty spot with a distant look.

「But nothing changed. I was still myself without anything that changed.」

This was the first time Nayuta confessed about her past thinking and feelings. Kizuna and Reiri lent their ears to their mother’s story with surprise.

「I repeatedly did numerous inhuman experiments. I couldn’t forgive that there was something in this world that I didn’t know. I wanted to know everything. I wanted to elucidate everything. There was only that desire inside of me. The method didn’t matter. No matter how inhuman it was, there are many ways to justify it. It was a simple thing for me. Why are other people going through such hardships to accomplish their objectives? Why are other people so stupid like that? It was really mysterious to me all that time.」

Nayuta let out a deep sigh.

「And so……Reiri, Kizuna, you two……I made you two go through hardships.」

She said that and lowered her small head.

「Wha……」

It was an act that was just too unexpected.

That mother was regretting her own deeds and apologizing, they thought that such a thing wouldn’t occur even if heaven and earth were split.

Reiri responded with a trembling voice.

「Tha……that’s right. Be, because of you, just how much……」

Reiri closed her mouth after speaking until there.

「Bu, but Nee-san. Kaa-san has really changed huh. It’s like, she is a different person.」

Nayuta cracked a smile and tilted her body.

「Fufufu, in fact I’ve completely turned into a child♪ Besides you said person, but the current me is an apprentice god.」

「I also get the feeling that you became an excessively troublesome existence though.」

「You can also say that.」

Kizuna reflexively snorted. And then lured by that Reiri also laughed. Nayuta stared at the two’s smile with a fond gaze.

Both Kizuna and Reiri were experiencing a mysterious feeling.

It was the first time since they were born that they were having this kind of time.

That a day would come when the three of them could talk like this as parent and children──they could never even imagine it before.

This was like,

A family gathering.

Kizuna’s tear gland almost loosened unconsciously. He spoke in a rush to hide that.

「But Kaa-san. From here on we can depend on you right? In the past……something like that happened……but, I get the feeling that Kaa-san’s strength will be necessary to restore Lemuria and Atlantis. You will absolutely accomplish a great role. It’ll also become your atonement.」

Nayuta smiled sadly, but with happiness somewhere in it.

「……I think that even if this fight is over and we return to our former world, there will still be difficulties waiting for us.」

Nayuta stared at the direction of the bed and spoke.

「That’s why Reiri, Kizuna. You two, protect those girls.」

Something bothered the two of them with the way she said that.

「It’s fine if you just protect them right?」

Nayuta looked down and replied with a mutter.

「I think……I won’t be able to.」

Reiri frowned.

「You cannot? Why?」

「Surely at that time, I’ll──」

She stared intently at Kizuna and Reiri and smiled sadly.

「──be really busy I think.」

Silence was flowing between the three.

Reiri opened her mouth as though fearing the silence.

「──That’s right. Come to think of it, there is something bothering me.」

「Eh? What is it Nee-chan?」

「It’s great that we can obtain strength that can oppose Thanatos with the Harem Hybrid. However the problem is after defeating her. From Odin’s story, all the worlds won’t be able to exist after that. As long as that problem isn’t solved, no matter how much we powered up in the end we won’t be able to defeat Thanatos. Besides, Odin too won’t just stay quiet about that right?」

「I see……from Odin’s point of view, we are going to erase her world, something like that.」

Not just Odin. Even the worlds of Hokuto and Osiris that they had fought and saved before this would also vanish. Even though they also had finally obtained a happy world, they were trying to destroy that. Thinking like that, even Kizuna wouldn’t stand up in opposition no matter what.

「About that, I have a solution. Even Odin came to understanding with my suggestion.」

Kizuna and Reiri reflexively looked at each other’s faces.

「Solution? Just what in the world──」

「Kizuna?」

Aine was standing nearby when they noticed.

Nayuta was waving her fan with a smile.

「Look, your friend came to invite you. Have a nice trip.」

「Ye, yeah……」

There was still things that bothered him, but in any case all those were about things after they made this mission a success and then defeated Thanatos. ‘Right now let’s concentrate on the Harem Hybrid’──Kizuna switched his feelings like that.

Aine was taking Kizuna not toward the bed, but towards the window.

When the window was opened, there was a terrace facing the sea there.

「Eh? Everyone……」

On top of a thick mattress, Himekawa, Yurishia, and Sylvia were sitting.

「Kizuna-kun……」

「Haai☆」

「Captain♡」

「What’s up? Everyone is here like this?」

Kizuna also sat down on the mattress and then Aine sat beside him.

「About that, I was also brought here by Aine-san……」

After Himekawa said that, everyone nodded. When they stared at Aine to ask the reason, she averted her gaze looking a bit embarrassed.

「I want to do Hybrid with Amaterasu once……so I invited everyone.」

「You Aine?」

「We did it with various people in the middle of the Harem Hybrid but……this might be the last time, as I thought……I──」

The four stared intently at Aine and waited for her to continue.

「Lo, love everyone……so」

Himekawa and Yurishia stared at Aine with an astonished look. Aine endured with a bright red face, but she couldn’t hold it and suddenly she yelled.

「Ge, geez-! Don’t look at me like that. It’s embarrassing.」

Yurishia made a perplexed smile.

「Eh? No, sorry. That’s, I never thought that kind of line would come out from Aine……right? Hayuru?」

「Yes, honestly it was a shock. Aine-san who in the past had nothing but a poisonous tongue when she opened her mouth is……it’s like she is a world apart from herself in the past.」

「Wha, what’s with you-! I don’t know anymore-!」

Aine averted her face with a huff. Himekawa and Yurishia smiled wryly at each other seeing that.

「Oh well, I also approve. It’s great to have a lot of memory with Amaterasu.」

After Yurishia responded brightly, Himekawa also shrugged.

「I guess. As expected, for the last it has to be with these members.」

「Sylvia too is happy that she can be counted as a proper Amaterasu member desu.」

「You’re right……thinking back, we never did a Connective Hybrid with these members.」

It was also unexpected for Kizuna.

「We also don’t know what will happen to us when the fight is over. I think this will become a nice memorial☆」

Himekawa stared at Yurishia as though something came to her mind.

「Is Yurishia-san going back to the US army?」

「Hmmm, I’m like something that has been thrown away once so I’m thinking about it. You Hayuru?」

「I want to do support work for the reconstruction. And then things like peace preservation or something……」

「The war is over already, that kind of activity will be needed then. And Sylvia-chan?」

「Sylvia wants to search for my parents in London desu. After that……Sylvia wants to continue to Ataraxia’s senior high school desu.」

Himekawa made a difficult face.

「But Ataraxia was created with the objective to defend against another world so……if the war comes to an end and the Entrance is also gone, what will happen to it?」

Sylvia made a sad face.

「No way……Ataraxia will be gone desu?」

Kizuna also noticed it after this late.

──’Is that so……if that happens, I’ll also lose my place huh.’

Sylvia groaned with troubled feelings.

「Uu~……if that happens then Sylvia will have to leave captain desu.」

Aine also looked down sadly.

「You’re right……there might be those who we have to part with like that……」

Kizuna’s heart jumped from shock.

「Aine?」

Aine’s sad gaze was reflected on the eyes of the surprised Kizuna.

Kizuna guessed the conflict that Aine was feeling.

──’Aine is the legitimate successor of the Vatlantis Empire. She is feeling guilty that it ended up with her pushing that responsibility to Grace for a long time. Grace is also wishing for her big sister to become the emperor, and above all else she wanted for them sisters to be together. The people of the Vatlantis Empire including Zelcyone surely had the same feeling too.

On the other hand, if Aine remained on Lemuria, on top of her becoming a person without a single relative there, she would also be seen as the empress of the enemy country. Surely a really harsh fate would wait for her like that.

Thinking like that, it could be seen how extremely hard it would be for Aine to remain in Lemuria.

If he was thinking about Aine’s sake, it would be better for her to go to Atlantis.

He understood that.

However Kizuna had a feeling that he couldn’t come to a clear decision of.

The groaning Sylvia suddenly lifted up her face from a sudden realization.

「E, err……captain?」

「What’s wrong Sylvia?」

「Err……does Sylvia, have……the qualifications to become captain’s wife?」

「「「「Haa!?」」」」

The four raised their voices simultaneously.

「In that case, Sylvia……will be able to be together with captain forever desu♡」

The rest of the female faction was all making complicated expressions with conflicted feelings. If they competed with Sylvia seriously then it would be childish of them, however at this rate it also felt like Kizuna would really get stolen.

Yurishia made a composed smile and then she shook her breasts as though to show off.

「Hmmph. Then, it will be a match between me and Sylvia-chan won’t it, about who is the one worthy to become Kizuna’s wife.」

Himekawa raised a tearful scream.

「Wha-!? E, even Yurishia-san!?」

Sylvia’s shoulders dropped in dejection and she touched her own meager breasts.

「If Yurishia-senpai is the opponent, then Sylvia won’t be a match desu……」

「Fufu, I wonder how far Sylvia can grow up~♪」

Yurishia could be seen as lacking in maturity, but she did that because she recognized Sylvia’s true strength. Sylvia’s battle ability was prodigious, but her strength in tempting a man was also outstanding.

「Recently Sylvia’s height isn’t growing desu……perhaps, Sylvia will be like this forever……」

Yurishia’s face was twitching with a complicated look.

──’I, in its own way that is……formidable.’

「We, well, it will be a match between me and Sylvia then. Though it feels like the choice from these two options will really reflect one’s preferences though.」

「NOOOOOOOO──!」

Himekawa suddenly yelled.

「What’s wrong with you Hayuru?」

「I am the one who confessed to Kizuna-kun first!」

「Eh!?」「Ha!?」「Fumyu!?」

Yurishia, Aine, and Sylvia opened their eyes wide from surprise.

「……ah」

Himekawa turned red as though she was lit on fire.

「I, I’m, an IiDIOTTTTTTTTTTTTTT-」

Himekawa writhed with steam coming out from her head. Aine stared at her like that and spoke with exasperation.

「Good grief……if you had actually confessed then woo him properly.」

「Wha……what are you saying! Aine-san, are you fine with that!?」

「I don’t really care. It’s fine if everyone marries him as they like.」

「Bu-, but, even Aine-san──」

Aine grabbed Kizuna from the side and then she threw him while still sitting.

「Ouch!?」

And then Aine straddled Kizuna in the blink of an eye. And then she turned towards Himekawa and grinned.

「After all, Kizuna’s legal wife is me.」

Himekawa and the others were taken aback.

However Yurishia smirked and she crawled towards Kizuna.

「Geez Aine, taking the best position cheekily like that. But, I won’t give you the legal wife position that easily you know?」

Yurishia smiled challengingly. Aine also responded back with a smile.

「Just like I want it.」

Yurishia took Kizuna’s left hand and guided it to her breast.

「Now Kizuna. Enjoy my breasts okay♡」

Himekawa also moved to Kizuna’s side while frowning.

「Really, both of you are doing as you please……」

Himekawa took Kizuna’s right hand and put its finger into her mouth.

「E, excuse me……what should, Sylvia do desu?」

「Hm? We are leaving the second best position empty for Sylvia-chan there.」

Yurishia said that and pointed at Kizuna’s face.

「He? The face desu?」

「Yep, get on his face.」

「Fueeeeeee!? Sylvia cannot do something so impolite like that desuu!」

「Isn’t it all right? This kind of shameless person who deceived this many girls needs punishment.」

Himekawa declared coldly.

「Oi oi……」

Kizuna reflexively also smiled wryly. However, at this rate he might make Sylvia feel lonely again.

「Sylvia, you don’t need to worry about it, just straddle over me.」

「……Sylvia understands desu.」

Sylvia straddled Kizuna’s face apologetically.

「Bu, but, this……it makes Sylvia feel really embarrassed too desu.」

Kizuna also reflexively held his breath looking up at the sight between Sylvia’s legs that normally he never saw. However he couldn’t make Sylvia feel joy just from doing this.

「Sylvia, can you squat down?」

「Uu……」

Sylvia’s spotless beautiful body lowered down. When she thought to stop, her important place touched Kizuna’s nose.

「Funyah!? So, sorry desu!」

Sylvia lifted up her waist in panic.

「No, it’s fine. Drop your waist a little lower.」

Sylvia’s shameful place was exposed to him with nothing to spare. Perhaps Sylvia also felt it from being seen because honey dripped down on Kizuna’s mouth from her slit. Kizuna stretched out his tongue and crawled it on Sylvia’s moist and glistening lips.

「FUaAAAaA♥ Ca-, captain’s……it feels, good desuu♥」

Seeing Sylvia writhing, Yurishia also released Kizuna’s arm that was sandwiched between her breasts.

「Kizuna……me too.」

Yurishia opened her knees and guided Kizuna’s hand into there. Kizuna slipped his finger into the opened valley inside the chasm that was growing hot. Yurishia curled up and shivered.

「Auhn♡! Co, comiing……Kizuna’s♡」

The inside was hotly slippery, as though inviting Kizuna deeper and deeper.

「Ah, ye, yes……Kizuna-, deep, theeree♡」

Yurishia squinted her eyes in ecstasy and raised a coquettish voice with heated breath. Seeing Yurishia’s figure that became a prisoner of pleasure, the inside of Himekawa’s womb also became tinged with heat.

「Kizuna-kun……」

Himekawa also guided Kizuna’s finger that was glistening with saliva inside her own crotch. Then Kizuna’s finger responded to Himekawa’s expectation and opened the closed entrance.

「Aa♥ Yes, there……there」

Just from the touch of Kizuna’s finger, hot liquid could be felt flowing out from inside her body. Kizuna further traced the edge of her entrance thoroughly.

「Aah♥ Don’t……it feels good……a, AaAAHNN!♥」

It was as though Kizuna was enjoying the sensation of Himekawa’s secret valley. However Himekawa wanted his finger to come until deeper inside and she shook her waist and pushed it toward him.

「Nnuu……Kizuna-kun, do, don’t tease me……please」

Himekawa begged by her own initiative. Using that timing Kizuna entered inside her.

「AaAAAAH!!♥ I, it feels good-♥ Ki-Kizuna-kun♥」

Himekawa who was shedding tears happily trembled and tasted climax many times.

Aine was staring lovingly at such alluring figures of the three.

「Kizuna……please, do me as well♡」

Aine softly put her hand on Kizuna’s thing that was becoming hard between her legs and pushed it against her own part that was discharging honey of love.

「Nn……it’s really……hard♡」

Her entrance held Kizuna’s thing like holding it between lips and then her waist slowly moved.

「Nh♡ Nh♡ Haah, aah! AaAAN♡!」

The movement of Aine’s hips was gradually becoming more intense, pressing down on Kizuna’s thing. However Kizuna arched hardly and pressed back on Aine’s secret lips.

「Uun♡ A-, ama……zing♡ Kizuna-, Kizunaaa!」

Kizuna’s thing was drenched with Aine’s sexual fluids and it glistened. And then it was wrapped by Aine’s soft lips and got polished. Kizuna too, he was increasing further in hardness and size instead of waning down in momentum. He continued to increase the pleasure he was granting Aine with a virile strength.

And then the wall of Aine’s limit was broken through. Aine’s head instantly became pure white.

「Aah! Kizuna-! Love-♡ I love you-♡ Kizuna, KIZUNAAAA! ♡」

Sylvia also reached her limit and her back arched.

「FuaAAaNN♥ Ca-captain♥ I LOVE YOU DESUuUUUUU!♥」

Yurishia’s body was convulsing repeatedly.

「Hih♡ ah, aah! Ki……zunaaaa-! I LOVE YOU-!♡♡」

Himekawa’s body that was climaxing repeatedly many times was visited by a huge wave.

「aAAH!♥ Love-♥ I love you-♥ Ki-, Kizuna-KUuuUNN-♥♥」

And then Kizuna also broke through his limit.

The vortex of pleasure of the five united on the peak and caused a great explosion.

「AaaAaaaA♥♡AAAAAAAA♥♡AAaAAaAAA♥♡♥♡♥♡」

The shrieks of Aine, Himekawa, Yurishia, and Sylvia became one and pierced through inside the villa.

Chapter 5 – End of Life

The Excavator of the battleship Oldium was roaring, piercing through the wall of worlds.

The blue sky was split and a figure of a giant battleship appeared.

Oldium that was boarded by Kizuna and the others broke through Thanatos’s world once more.

Reiri’s voice resounded throughout the bridge of Oldium.

「Confirm the situation! Verify our present location with the position of Thanatos’s temple!」

During their rescue mission previously, the main cannon of Ataraxia blew up the foundation of Thanatos’s temple. It was unclear what had happened to that temple that slid down the mountain slope and fell. Perhaps Thanatos was building a new temple in a different place.

At that time an operator yelled loudly.

「Several magic power reactions confirmed! They are in the middle of approaching us!」

「What!?」

「It’s the mechanical angels! Several hundreds, two hundred……it’s still increasing!」

Reiri clicked her tongue.

「They found us already. Sound the emergency alarm throughout the whole ship! Prepare to intercept!」

「Calm down, Reiri.」

Nayuta was comfortably lying down on a long chair that was especially brought in.

「This world is the same as the insides of Thanatos’s body. It’s only natural for abnormalities to be detected immediately.」

Reiri let out her breath once then she stared at Nayuta.

「Do you know where Thanatos is?」

Nayuta pointed her fan straight towards the ship’s bow.

「Kei, what is ahead of there?」

Kei was managing the vast amount of data coming in from every kind of sensor and every post within the ship while writing a reply to Nayuta.

『A floating island with a diameter of approximately three kilometers. This is──』

Reiri bared open her eyes.

「Ataraxia!!」

「Thanatos is there.」

Reiri opened a communication window and contacted the battle squad.

「Assault squad, prepare for sortie! I’m coming there now!」

Reiri yelled that before turning towards Zelcyone who was sitting on the vice-captain’s seat.

「I’ll leave the rest to you, Zelcyone.」

「Leave this place to me. Rather than that, I’m the one who is leaving it up to you.」

Reiri nodded wordlessly and rushed away from the bridge.

「Zecros!」

The silver Heart Hybrid Gear was instantly put on Reiri’s body. She opened the hatch for emergency exit and flew outside. She then flew down towards the deck several dozen meters below.

「──Nee-chan!」

Kizuna ran towards Reiri who appeared from the sky.

「Kizuna, everyone too──are your preparations finished?」

The main force was gathered on the deck. The elites chosen from among them would subjugate Thanatos as the assault squad. The others would be put on Oldium’s defense.

「The enemy is in Ataraxia! The assault squad will be me, Kizuna, Aine, Himekawa, Yurishia, Sylvia, Grace, Hyakurath, and Gravel, these nine. The others will be under Zelcyone’s command and defend Oldium!」

Kizuna nodded strongly and then he called the name of his Heart Hybrid Gear.

「Eros!」

Jet black armor was equipped on Kizuna’s body. And then after Kizuna, Aine, Himekawa, Yurishia, and the rest were putting on their Heart Hybrid Gears on their bodies one after another.

「M, my?」

Yurishia raised a bewildered voice.

「Wha, what’s this!? The Heart Hybrid Gear……it has returned to its past shape!」

Certainly Cross that should be enlarged from the reinstall had returned to its original size.

Himekawa’s face was also twitching from surprise.

「M, me too……this is, what in the world」

Kizuna also raised a surprised expression. In Eros’s case its size didn’t change even after reinstall, its shape changed only when he used the Corruption Armament 『Nayuta』. However the other Heart Hybrid Gears were constantly enlarged as though to display their powered up strength.

Gravel was also showing a perplexed expression.

「At this important time……」

『Aa, there is no need for worry you know?』

「Kaa-san!?」

A window popped up above each person’s head.

『Or I should rather say, that the shape before this was the irregular one. That enlargement was because of the phenomenon of the Heart Hybrid Gear being unable to suppress the powered up strength, so the armor swelled up.』

「Swelled up?」

『The capacity of everyone until now was too small to contain vast power. But, now that everyone has surmounted Harem Hybrid, the vast power has successfully settled into the Heart Hybrid Gear as before, that is the meaning of this.』

Yurishia sighed in relief.

「So that’s it, I got shocked for a second there.」

Himekawa also nodded with a look of understanding.

「Certainly while the commander’s Zecros possess that much overwhelming power, but the armor is small and thin like that……so that’s its original shape by nature.」

『But, I think there must be some change still. The shape shouldn’t exactly be the same like before.』

Now that she said that, certainly the design was subtly different. But that must be purely because its performance and abilities were upped.

When everyone understood that the form wasn’t because the Heart Hybrid Gear was weakening by any means, but instead became even stronger, they patted their chests in relief.

「But, Sylvia and Ragrus-chan’s doesn’t change at all desu.」

Kizuna looked up at the huge Taros and Demon’s majestic appearance that was unchanging.

「Indeed……」

It seemed that this size was the standard for Taros and Demon.

「It’s unfortunate desu……cute Heart Hybrid Gears like the commander’s is enviable desu.」

「Wha-!?」

Everyone around smirked at Reiri who was reddening. Kizuna also smiled wryly unconsciously.

「Eei! Enough with the chatter! We’re going-!!」

Reiri yelled before she flew up instantly from the deck.

「Yosh-! We are going too. This is the last battle!」

Eros’s thrusters emitted light of magic power and lifted up Kizuna’s body. And then the other assault squad members also soared into the sky.

However, there was the shadow of mechanical angels advancing in swarms on their path.

「Don’t stop moving! Our aim is only Thanatos!」

Kizuna responded to Reiri’s instruction.

「Sylvia! Yurishia!」

Just from that the two guessed his intentions. Taros entered the firing preparation for Ignis, while Cross did the same for the Differential Frame.

「Ignis!!」

Taros’s large caliber particle cannon Ignis shined explosively. A tremendous amount of particles instantly rushed through Thanatos’s sky and cut apart the group of mechanical angels. Ten-odd mechanical angels that were on the firing line of Ignis turned into pieces and they were blown away backwards.

「Fire!!」

Cross’s Differential Frame fired ten-odd streak of light. They blew away mechanical angels as though gouging out the path that was cut open by Ignis. That output was incomparable with the Cross from before. The formation of the mechanical angels had a hole opened in it as though it was excavated by a drill of light.

Cross and Taros’s power up caused even Kizuna to be tongue-tied.

「Amazing……」

「We are charging there!」

Reiri readied her sword and shield and plunged into the swarm of mechanical angels. She charged through the hole opened by Cross and Taros. She swung her sword to the mechanical angels that were assaulting to plug the hole.

However her speed didn’t slacken. She slipped through the army of mechanical angels in one breath. And then Kizuna and the others also continued after Reiri.

「Blade!」

The mechanical swords floating behind Himekawa intercepted the mechanical angels to protect their ranks.

──’Fast. Also, sharp.’

The Blades felt like they were reborn. Until now she needed quite the mental strength to make them fly, but right now it felt like there was no stress on her at all. It felt like there were four of hers freely rushing through the sky like wind. She even felt exhilaration even though they were in the middle of battle.

Grace also spread her wings of white blades, and Hyakurath too swung around her sword. They routed the mechanical angels without slowing down a bit.

And then Gravel who was serving as the rear guard turned behind and fired her Sword Gatling without end. However, the mechanical angels weren’t coming to chase Gravel and co. as much as expected. Most of them didn’t pause heading towards Oldium.

「Are they reacting to the enemy presence with greater number……」

Gravel became worried for the defense squad. She opened a window to open a channel to the defense squad.

──’No. Even they are strong warriors. It’s discourteous to doubt their strength.’

Gravel didn’t continue opening the communication and closed the window. And then right after that a communication opened from Reiri.

『We are going to arrive at Ataraxia soon! Don’t let your guard down!』

When Gravel lifted up her face, a gigantic shadow was drawing near in the blink of an eye.

──’Ataraxia.’

When she saw that figure, the insides of her chest became filled to the brim with bittersweet things. Her memory in Ataraxia was brought back like a revolving lantern.

Gravel landed on that land of her memories.

「Did everyone arrive safely?」

Reiri looked around the faces of everyone.

They landed on the garden of the academy. There was nothing particularly strange in their surroundings, but they didn’t know where Thanatos was located.

「What are we going to do now? Even though we were told that she was in Ataraxia, but this place is really large. Even if we search, it will require much effort.」 (Grace)

However Reiri shook her head to the left and right.

「No. Naturally she will notice our arrival here. Thanatos will surely come into contact with us from her end. Don’t let your guard down.」

At that time a small crack entered the space before Kizuna’s eyes.

「──Eh?」

There was a glass in front of him and a pebble hit it that it cracked. He thought if it was something like that.

A crack was spreading in an empty space where there was nothing.

──’Don’t tell me’

The cracked space was crumbling into pieces.

──’AU Collision.’

He had only ever saw an Entrance of gigantic sizes, with heights of a few hundred meters.

However this was like it was for individual use──,

Something chilling was crawling up Kizuna’s back.

「Everyone! Be ca──」

When Kizuna turned around, there was no one there.

「Wha……?」

Cold sweat suddenly trickled down.

Pure white floor.

And then a tall ceiling.

There was no wall, there were large pillars made from the same material as the floor lining up.

That space vaguely reminded him of a Greek temple.

However at the other side of the pillar was the outer space that looked like flowing thin ink.

A space without coloring,

Kizuna,

And then Thanatos.

There were only the two of them confronting each other.

「──Thanatos.」

Golden hair and blue eyes. On her back were white, golden and blue gigantic wings. That appearance was worthy to be called a goddess that was enshrined in the temple of the gods.

「It’s you huh, the individual who defeated Odin.」

「Yeah.」

Kizuna’s whole body was enveloped with a prickling tension. It felt like the skin throughout his body became a sensitive sensor. The fear he felt there increased his body’s temperature. However his head was clear. The tension and fear uplifted Kizuna’s mind like a narcotic drug, creating the greatest concentration power.

「Where in the world is this? What happened to everyone else?」

「This world is something I created for you. Each of the other intruders are also locked inside different worlds separately.」

Kizuna felt a bit relieved knowing that everyone was safe.

「This is really luxurious to have a personal world like this. Though it’s a bit too bland here.」

「It’s something for temporary capture. There is no need to decorate it at all.」

Thanatos was staring at Kizuna like a scientist observing a subject.

「Something like skipping the process of evolution, and suddenly obtaining a power to the degree that can defeat a god……the experiment is clearly a failure. However it will be useful to perfect my archive as an irregular case. Therefore before I erase your world, it’s necessary to investigate first. That I’ve capturing the other individuals is also for nothing more than that.」

──’That means, she isn’t planning to kill us right away?’

Kizuna didn’t feel hostility from Thanatos’s gaze that contained sorrow inside. It was as though there was no clear hostility, rage, or hatred like the other machine gods in her. Both Hokuto and Osiris, and even Odin had aspects that was human-like in them. However that kind of thing couldn’t be felt at all from this Thanatos.

There were only hints of melancholy from her.

Not even the slightest bit of emotion could be seen even in her act of erasing the world. The impression that he got from her was that it was a work that she was carrying out apathetically following the set procedure.

It was as though her heart was dead──,

Kizuna looked at Thanatos’s splendorous and beautiful figure once more and he felt like that.

「Thanatos. You want to erase us because we are failed experiment──I know that you are thinking like that. However, are you unable to even allow us to exist? Is a failed experiment not even allowed to live?」

「You all aren’t just existing. If I leave you alone, I don’t know what kind of influence it will bring. If there is a chance that an obstacle that I cannot predict will occur, then it should be erased.」

「We aren’t going to do something──」

「Fact, Hokuto, Osiris, Odin, three machine gods are defeated, each of their worlds are changed. This is a problem that cannot be overlooked.」

「……That’s」

「Especially, you and the people who possess similar configuration information like you. That is an existence that is close to god. Regarding those three, they will be immediately purged.」

「Wha──!?」

「The risk is higher than the result that can be obtained from investigation. Therefore the purge is prioritized.」

Thanatos’s eyes changed color from blue to gold.

──’Coming!!’

Kizuna’s intuition instantly turned sharp.

He kicked on the floor that was like white marble and moved instantly. That floor exploded from the red light that was fired from Thanatos’s hand. Vivid red flame was blazing up inside the monotone world.

Kizuna was flying inside the temple while trickling cold sweat.

If he was late for just a moment longer, he would have been done in. He was saved because he obeyed his instinct that detected danger and moved before Thanatos was starting to move.

However Thanatos was calmly staring at Kizuna who was flying in circles and pointed her hand. That palm shined red once more.

「Mode Zecros!!」

Right before Thanatos’s light reached, a silver shield appeared on Kizuna’s arm.

「GUOuh!」

Zecros’s shield blocked Thanatos’s light.

Thanatos’s eyelashes that were half laying down twitched.

「What……? The thunderbolt Keraunos, is blocked?」

The red light that Thanatos fired, Keraunos was a red lightning that destroyed everything. It could return everything that existed inside the world Thanatos created back into nothingness.

「That shield is……I see, it’s that small god’s」

Kizuna yelled towards his own armor.

「Mode Cross!!」

A Differential Frame was instantly created on Kizuna’s back.

「UOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!」

Golden light attacked Thanatos along with that war cry.

Thanatos spread both her hands. Then a black dome with Thanatos as the center appeared. Stars were floating there, as though seeing the night sky from the outside. The bombardment of the Differential Frame was vanishing as though being absorbed into that space.

──’Then!’

「Mode Taros!!」

Kizuna stretched his right arm right to his side. Taros’s right arm appeared ahead of that hand. It was a giant hammer shining black. Inside it possessed a small black hole that swallowed everything, Titania. An anomalous hammer.

「NUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!」

Taros’s hammer and Thanatos’s space clashed. Enormous gravity sucked in the light drifting in the space, gouging a hole in the space.

Thanatos’s half closed eyes widened slightly.

「This is──」

「Mode Neros!!」

A soaring sword flew into the wrenched open space.

At that instant, Thanatos moved for the first time. She moved with her own legs and evaded the attack.

Blade chased after Thanatos, rushing around inside the temple.

「The power this individual possesses is──」

The temple’s pillars were severed, the floor cut apart, Blade was slashing at Thanatos over and over. The temple was destroyed and Thanatos got out from the temple. Chasing behind her, Blade and Kizuna also flew out from the collapsing temple.

Several temples were floating in the space that was like flowing thin ink. Blade chased after Thanatos who escaped to one of those. Kizuna took distance from Blade and headed to a different temple in order to cut off Thanatos.

「Mode Zeros!!」

Eros that was covering Kizuna’s body circulated blue light. Eros’s speed leaped up. Kizuna instantly went through the temple and he clenched his fist. He tasted a sensation as though his whole body became a sharp blade while closing his distance with Thanatos.

「DEYAaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!」

For an instant Thanatos showed a face that looked surprised.

Kizuna’s fist struck onto the arm that she put in front of her without delay.

A fist of black steel sunk into the white arm that was engraved with Greek style patterns.

Thanatos’s armor was cracked and it burst apart.

「──ku」

A terrific impact assaulted Thanatos. The machine inside the arm burst out. It had a mysterious structure, like transparent glass with countless patterns of light emerging on the surface.

Thanatos was blown away backwards. She rotated her body like a spinning wheel and landed on the temple’s floor slidingly.

Thanatos was staring on her own arm with eyes as though she was looking at something strange.

「Destroyed……this me?」

Kizuna put a distance between him and Thanatos and got down on the floor.

「Thanatos. Can’t you leave our world alone? We won’t bring any harm to you. We want to live inside our world. That’s all.」

After a slight pause, Thanatos opened her faint pink lips.

「I cannot do that.」

「Then, let’s settle this.」

Kizuna took a stance with his fist.

Perhaps it was because of the Harem Hybrid. An unbelievable power was filling his whole body to the brim.

He could win if it was now.

That kind of confidence heightened until it became conviction.

「Here I come, Thanatos!」

When he was about to leap in, Thanatos’s golden eyes shined.

And then the wings on her back that looked like huge reliefs opened. White feathers shook and particles of light that looked like golden powder scattered. The mechanism of the wings moved like how a mechanical clock marked the passage of time.

There was the presence of something approaching.

A crack was generated suddenly in front of Kizuna.

──’Entrance.

She is planning to send me to another world again!?’

「I WON’T LET YOU GET AWAYYYYY!」

Kizuna avoided that crack by swinging his body to the side. And then when he tried to pass through, he could see red eyes at the other side of the peeled off space.

──’!?’

Kizuna’s legs stopped.

The crack spread quickly in one go and fragments of space scattered out.

Silver hair was swaying softly.

「A……Aine?」

「Eh? ……Kizuna!?」

Aine noticed Kizuna and raised a surprised voice.

Thanatos opened her hands.

──’Keraunos is coming!’

Without delay Kizuna reached out his hand and put out the shield in front of Aine. Red light was blocked by the silver shield and it burst explosively.

「KYaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!?」

Amidst the thunderous sound that was like thunder, and the roar of Aine’s scream, a whispering voice could be heard in Kizuna’s ear.

It was a small voice,

However it sounded clearly,

Informing Kizuna of his fate.

「ThanatosDie」

Thanatos was standing behind Kizuna with a sword in hand.

However Kizuna didn’t turn to look at that figure.

Aine was staring at the figure of the man holding out a shield in front of her.

A foreign substance was protruding out from that chest,

A beautiful, sharp, white and golden sword was,

Piercing Kizuna’s body from his back to his chest.

Red color was flowing as though to tinge the white blade.

When the sword was pulled out, bright red fresh blood was flowing down on the white floor.

「Ki……Kizuna?」

That body swayed and then tilted. Aine reached out her hand to support Kizuna.

However that body was losing strength and collapsed on the floor, as though slipping through Aine’s arms.

She didn’t understand what was going on.

She was sucked into an Entrance and entered a strange world. And then, an Entrance appeared again, and when she noticed it──,

──’Why is, Kizuna, on the floor?’

Aine crouched and touched Kizuna’s cheek.

「Hey, Kizuna……Kizuna, come on」

There was no reply no matter how many times she called.

‘Why,

Why did it turn out like this?’

Kizuna’s half closed eyes that looked sleepy didn’t move as though he forgot to even blink.

And then those eyes weren’t seeing anything anymore.

No matter how many times she called out, no matter how she touched him, those eyes wouldn’t look at Aine.

The truth that she didn’t even want to comprehend and recognize was approaching Aine as though to block her path of escape.

「──Ki」

Aine’s red eyes were overflowing with tears.

「KIZUNAaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-!!」

Afterword

This is Kuji Masamune! Truly thank you very much for picking up this volume 12. What do you think about this volume’s Hybrid scene that is the biggest until now? Almost half of this volume is a Hybrid scene, and it turned out into something that is impossible if thinking with common sense. (lol)

Speaking of impossible, the content is also unrealistic. Something like harem play of twenty five people (essentially twenty six people), what’s with that huh!? I was writing it while making such a retort to myself.

It’s really difficult realizing play with large numbers of people in writing.

But, the last enemy cannot be defeated without doing that kind of absurdity!

As expected Harem Hybrid has to be done to be fit for the climax! This volume 12 came with such resolve. It will be my great happiness if you enjoy it.

Personally I put effort into the battle against the strongest enemy Odin. Making Reiri and that character play a large role is something I had decided since a long time ago, so I’m happy that my dearest wish can come true! Surely those girls are also happy!? Is what I believe.

Also Kizuna, Reiri, and Nayuta’s happy family circle……no, thinking calmly, is this really a happy family circle!? It’s that kind of terrific impression isn’t it (lol). Well, for this family, something like this is like them perhaps?

It has been long from Nayuta’s first appearance until this point. It’s really deeply emotional.

I’m repeating myself, but next is Harem Hybrid as expected.

It’s a man’s dream isn’t it? But this is an important duty that control the fate of two worlds.

I want to get this kind of duty…….

Putting that aside, I had fun writing a content with plenty of variety. It will be hard in reality but, perhaps it will also be interesting to write in detail like recording a video, how they spent the two days without omitting anything. Perhaps even three volumes won’t be enough for that though.

Even the result right now is really long already! And so, I organized it with a pace. I tried a form that I never used before by putting in relatively light play, ordinary-ish scene, and gag scene while inserting somewhat deep content in between. And so I think that although it’s quite a bulk, isn’t it unexpectedly easier to read like this?

By the way, for those who wish for dense depiction of one-on-one, please look forward to the next volume. Next volume will surely be breaking through the limit (!?) I believe.

And then the shocking last scene. This volume isn’t the last volume so please take caution (lol).

The last volume, is the next, volume 13.

Actually Masou Gakuen HxH is my debut series and I have never finished a series yet until now. In preparation for my first last volume, various feelings are coming and going inside my chest. I want to decorate the last with the best by putting these feelings into shape.

I wish everyone will absolutely see this through until the very end! That is my earnest desire.

I suddenly want to write all my reminiscent talk and my feelings regarding Masou, but I’ll put them in reserve for the afterword of volume 13. Although I say that, but volume 13 might use up the page until just barely and there won’t be any page for an afterword!

And then I’m also in the middle of planning for my next work!

The detail is still a secret but I want to do a series that has a different charm from Masou even while inheriting the interesting points of Masou.

Extas Online is already in the middle of progress, but I will work hard on this too! Last month the newest volume 4 also just got released. Those who haven’t read can easily catch up you know!?

Although it has eros scene, but as expected this work has a different charm from Masou. Even those who first read it for the eros will give a high evaluation in the points other than eros saying the story is interesting! Intense! That’s this series trait.

By the way Extas Online is also in the middle of comic serialization by Oniyasu Kakashi-san at the monthly Dragon Age.

Please treat the original works well.

And then for thanks. The illustrations this time is terrific again! The god who gave the best update every time! Hisasi-san! And then the mecha designer Kurogin-san. The proofreader Ouraidou-san who I’m always indebted too. Shindousha-san who is always polishing off the book to be cool. The editor in charge O-san from the Sneaker editing department. Thank you very much!

And then all you honored readers who are always giving your support. Those who gave their impression on Twitter or reading meter and so on. Really thank you very much!

To those who especially wrote fan letters addressed to the editing department, my chest is filled to the brim with gratitude to you all.

Please treat the last volume of Masou Gakuen HxH favorably, eros!

Extra Story – Quartum And The Secret Zelcyone

Part 1

On the afternoon of the Harem Hybrid’s second day, Kizuna was performing Connective Hybrid in the garden with the rare combination of Sylvia, Ragrus, and Nayuta.

The little girl kingdom feeling was really immoral. Furthermore the liberal environment of doing it outside increased the sense of danger further.

When Kizuna finished that Hybrid and returned into the villa, there were the figures of four people having a drinking bout cheerfully at the entrance hall.

They were Clayda, Elma, Lunorlla, and Ramza, the four members of Quartum.

Clayda faced towards Kizuna and lifted her glass.

「O, you came back, huh, Kizuna.」

The four’s appearances were in a state of mostly naked while only wearing golden accessories. They were sitting on a sofa while drinking nectar. It had the same effect as alcohol, so the cheeks of the four were slightly red and they looked like they were in a good mood.

「The four of you are really having fun huh. However doing this in this kind of place……」

Clayda stood up and walked towards Kizuna.

「We were waiting for you after all. We were thinking to catch you right away when you came back.」

「What?」

The other three also stood up and lined up in front of Kizuna who was tilting his head in puzzlement. Elma leaned coquettishly against him, with her wavy white hair swaying.

「Ufufu, don’t you yearn for a sexy lady after the little girls?」

「Besides……we still, haven’t, done it properly……with this line up.」

Lunorlla whose whole body had scars was fidgeting with both her hands and thighs rubbing at each other.

The red haired Ramza scratched the back of her head bashfully.

「Haha, besides see, you haven’t done it with us today right? That’s why─」

Ramza crawled her fingers on her abdomen that had heart mark tattoos on it, and then her fingers opened the chasm below it to show him. A drip that looked like honey was trickling down like a pulled string.

「It’s embarrassing but, I’m at my limit already. Everyone is also like that, right?」

After Ramza said that and faced the other three, everyone timidly opened their legs, and they simultaneously used their fingers to open the entrance that was usually closed tightly to show him.

Clayda whose trademark was her braided blonde hair and her eye patch glared at Kizuna with shame and excitement coloring her cheeks.

「That’s how it is. We, too, also want to make a contribution in the next battle. Don’t just flirt with the other girls, power us up properly too.」

Certainly yesterday he had also entered the bath with them together with Masters, but compared to the other members, his Hybrid’s timing with them was short.

「Got it. Then」

Kizuna reached his hands towards the two who were standing at both ends of the four people, Clayda and Ramza. He touched the waiting part of the entrance that they were spreading open themselves.

「Uah! Yo, you’re doing it here……Kizuna」

Clayda reflexively stood on her tiptoes.

Ramza smiled at such Clayda with an erotic gaze.

「I, it’s fine isn’t it? It feels, really arousing somehow-, a, ahn♥」

Ramza’s waist quickly trembled and she sighed erotically.

Elma crouched in front of Kizuna and untied Kizuna’s waistcloth.

「My……♡」

She stared at the thing that appeared from underneath it with an intoxicated gaze.

「Then, I’ll give it a massage with my breasts okay?」

She lifted up her breasts with both hands and sandwiched Kizuna’s thing from left and right. The fluffy sensation that was like marshmallows assaulted Kizuna’s lower body.

Lunorlla who was left alone nearby was looking around restlessly as though she was losing the place she belonged. And then, she reservedly took a step towards Kizuna and gazed up at him with bright red cheeks.

「Err……Kizuna……ki, kiss……」

For the shy Lunorlla, she must be doing her best to plead like that.

When Kizuna stretched out his face slightly forward, she happily piled up her lips on his.

「Nn♡ Haa……nnuh」

Once their lips met, she proactively stretched out her tongue until inside Kizuna’s mouth.

Ramza let out an envious voice seeing that.

「Aaa, that feels really lovey dovey. That’s unfaiiir」

「You’re right. Your hand’s movements is slacking off here, Kizuna.」

Complained to by Clayda, Kizuna moved his fingers intensely.

「Ahn♥! Ri, right. Li, like that……nnhaAAAAAH!」

Clayda’s waist lost strength and she staggered backward. Her balance crumbled and she collapsed on the sofa.

Next Kizuna groped Lunorlla’s breast with the fingers that were soaked with Clayda’s honey.

「A, aaahn……I, I’m weak……at my breast so……aah!♡」

Kizuna’s other hand that was caressing Ramza was also moving upward. And then, he began massaging her springy large breast.

「Yahn♡ Wha, whaat? You’re, comparing our breasts? Ahaha……haAHN! Ah, don’t, the tip is……♡AaAAAH!」

Seeing the four who were twisting their bodies in pleasure, a bottomless energy was welling up inside Kizuna.

「……Then, everyone lay down on the sofa for me.」

When Kizuna said that, the four’s eyes glinted with obscenity.

Clayda licked her lips and she whispered with a wanting face.

「Fufuh, so you’re getting into that mood huh, Lemuria’s demon king. I’m looking forward to it♥」

Part 2

Zelcyone who was swimming in the sea was walking on the path that was continuing to the villa.

When she was inside this space of the Harem Hybrid, she was losing sight of herself no matter what. She ended up in a terrible state at the latter half of the Connective Hybrid that she was doing together with Reiri yesterday.

She fawned on Kizuna as though she was an immature girl, asking for pleasure.

「I cannot show that kind of appearance to the Quartum……」

The figures of Quartum and Kizuna indecently entangled with each other flew into the eyes of Zelcyone who was opening the door of the entrance.

「Wha……-」

It wasn’t really anything surprising because they were in the middle of the Harem Hybrid, but she was taken by surprise and she raised her voice reflexively.

「Zel?」

Kizuna noticed Zelcyone’s figure. After him, the four members of Quartum also gathered their gaze towards her.

「Ah! Haahn Zelcyone-sama?」

「Ze, Zelcyone-sama too, ho-how-♡ about, joining in too? Together with uusss♡」

「N, no, I’m fine. You all can just enjoy yourself.」

She said that and tried to pass through that place.

「Wait a bit Zel. Won’t you come over here?」

Her legs stopped completely when Kizuna called out to her to stop like that.

「Ku……oi, Kizuna. I should have told you already to stop calling me Zel.」

She complained like that, however, she came until right in front of Kizuna.

──’No, it’s not that I’m……I only want to say my complaint to him clearly, this doesn’t mean that I want to be embraced…….’

「Ah!」

However she was captured by Kizuna’s arms and in the blink of an eye she was hugged tightly on his chest.

「Ah……yah, don’t……」

She only barely said that with a faint voice.

Ramza’s eyes turned round seeing her state.

「Heeee, so Zelcyone-sama really turns toootally cute when doing Hybrid」

「She looks really lovely!」(Elma)

「……Pretty」

「To think that Zelcyone-sama has this kind of side to her……she is really a deep person.」

It was unclear whether those were teasing or their honest impressions, but in any case the whispers of the four granted Zelcyone shame and shock.

「Wha……Ki-! Kizuna-! You bastard, don’t tell meee!?」

Kizuna made an apologetic expression.

「Sorry. They asked me just now and I honestly answered unconsciously.」

「You, IDIOOOoOOOTTTTT──nh!?」

Zelcyone’s complain was blocked by Kizuna’s lips.

「Nnnnnnnh! Puhah, tha, that’s unfair! Kizu……YAaAAAaaaHN♡」

Kizuna’s finger skillfully tormented the spot where Zelcyone felt it the most.

「Haah, yahn, AaAN♡ Don’t, in front of everyone is……AaAHN♡」

Zelcyone buried her face on Kizuna’s chest shyly while going ‘no no’ with her head rubbing on his chest.

Clayda and co. who were watching that blushed even further.

「No way……cute.」(Clayda)

「I, I also……want to admire this Zel-sama.」(Elma)

「Yep……me too」(Lunorrla)

「Yoosh, everyone let’s get affectionate with heer!」

「NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-!」

After that, Kizuna and Quartum thoroughly got affectionate with Zelcyone.

──’When this is over, I’ll erase their memories for sure.’

Zelcyone swore so inside her heart.
