Chapter 4 – The Demon King of Lemuria

Chapter 4 – The Demon King of Lemuria

 Part 1

The imperial capital of Vatlantis, Zeltis. Genesis was towering tall inside that imperial palace. Its surrounding was changed into Hida Nayuta’s research place right now. Several research facilities was built and all the magic power that was sent from earth was collected here. The buildings were built in haste, so they only had few decorations compared to the architectural structure of Vatlantis. Every single one was built like rectangle block, like a piled up dices.

Hida Nayuta was inside one of those blocks.

She stayed sitting on a chair and stared at a monitor without moving. Her hand was not moving, but hectic processing was carried out in the monitor. It was an interface that could possibly be operated only with her brain wave and eye motion. This was a computer that Nayuta created using the magic technology of Vatlantis.

What made Nayuta surprised was how computer was nonexistent in Vatlantis. There was extremely rudimentary electron calculation machine. But, there was no system that could perform a large scale information processing.

This world suddenly obtained result from magic power and sorcery. Due to that, there was nothing like basic technology. Even without calculation or anything, sorcery technology could manifest most things.

Magic technology that made use of sorcery made manifest things that could be thought as miracle from the view point of earth. On the other hand, something impossible was impossible, there was such a clear conclusion. In other words a matter that couldn’t be resolved using sorcery, couldn’t be imagined to be resolved using another method. That was why, technology other than sorcery didn’t develop. The weak point that Nayuta pointed out was that.

When Nayuta saw the Genesis for the first time, she thought that she wanted to read the letters that were carved on its surface. However, the scholar of Vatlantis all answered that it was impossible in unison. The reason was because it was already a lost language, that was it.

That was why, Nayuta thought of trying to translate the ancient letters with her own strength. For that sake she created the magic computer in this research facility.

But, the problem was the first clue. Even if just a part, if she could understand the meaning of some wording that was written, it was possible to start deciphering from that point.

If she could decipher the letters, surely she could elucidate the secret of this Genesis. Not just that, the Core of magic armor that was similarly a puzzling OOPart, and then even the secret of this world itself might be unraveled.

That was the thing that Nayta wanted to know for now.

Suddenly, she felt a presence inside the room.

“……My, Valdy. Welcome home.”

The door opened soundlessly and Valdy entered the research room.

“I’m home……here.”

Valdy lowered the bag she shouldered and took out a lithograph from inside.

“This is……this is the one.”

It was the lithograph that was inside Baldein castle. Nayuta put her hands together happily.

“You did really well Valdy. You are really magnificent.”

Valdy’s face turned red from those words and stroked her hair shyly.

“Err…….so, what is this lithograph going to be use for?”

“It’s for disclosing everything. Regarding this world, the pillar, and the Core.”

“If we do that……Vatlantis be saved won’t it?”

“Yes. That’s right.”

Valdy murmured with tears in her eyes.

“If that really become reality……then Nayuta-sama, is a G.o.d.”

“My……I became a demon and now a G.o.d, how busy that is.”

Nayuta smiled amusedly. However suddenly smile vanished from her lips.

“But――perhaps I will really become it, a G.o.d that is.”

Saying that, she moved her gaze to the monitor once more.

That appearance was slightly different from the usual Nayuta. Valdy thought doubtfully, but she didn’t think about it deeply. The reason was, Nayuta had never been wrong until now. Nayuta had never for even once did something that she didn’t wish for.

Valdy came to have faith in Nayuta. With eyes that were like a child looking at her mother, she was staring at Nayuta’s face from the side.

 Part 2

At a spot several hundred kilometers from Britain, Ataraxia came to a stop.

{We are completely sandwiched.}

The text that Kei displayed and the map the was displayed behind her made Reiri and Kizuna flowed cold sweat.

Receiving emergency alarm, Kizuna, Kei, and Reiri, the three of them gathered inside the center control room of Nayuta Lab.

The map with Ataraxia in the center also projected two enemies. One enemy appeared from the Entrance of London, and the other enemy was approaching from behind. Both enemies would still take time until they came into contact with Ataraxia. However, according to the information from the unmanned reconnaissance drone, it was obvious that both were coming with Ataraxia as their aim. It was only a matter of time before a battle happened.

{So that we won’t receive attack from the Entrance of Spain and France, we approached from Celtic Sea. However the enemy was taking large detour from Ireland to us.}

Reiri clicked her tongue and glared at the map.

“Isn’t that impossible with the enemy’s cruising range?”

{It’s impossible according to the data until now. That’s why we also couldn’t antic.i.p.ate this. It appears that the s.h.i.+p of Vatlantis has increased their cruising range further than before. Perhaps just like how we evolved our weapon and become able to defeat magic weapon, they too are solving their technological problem.}

“The improvement of those guys’ weapon can also be considered as mother’s involvement……however, what are we going to do if that’s the case?”

{Even if we move forward or draw back, it will only hasten the confrontation with the enemy. But there is the way of escaping near to France.}

However Kizuna shook his head.

“No good. If we are attacked from the land, that’s exactly what a certain death is. Besides, our destination is London. We should crush the enemy before our eyes and aim straight at our destination.”

“……Certainly we are aiming at London. But, if we don’t take care of the enemy in front of us, even that will be impossible. Especially if we don’t defeat the enemy that is coming from the front, far from reaching London, we cannot even approach near.”

{Even if we defeat the enemy in front, the enemy behind will catch up, so in the end we have to defeat the two of them.}

Kei’s text made Reiri lightly tch-ed.

“Our present situation is where we haven’t yet finds any megafloat of other country. Like this it’s obviously that we are lacking in battle strength, the method we can use is few. But we have to at least avoid being attacked by both at the same time, if we can take care of the weak one first…..Kizuna, do you know about these bunches?”

The image from the unmanned drone was projected on the monitor.

The front was an eye-patched girl, the behind was a white haired girl.

“Aah, I remember. These guys are strong……both of them are like the four heavenly kings of the enemy.”

“Is that so……then, should we progress to encounter the enemy at front faster. After that we can only pray that the enemy behind will arrive late or possibly they will reach the limit of their cruising range.”

Kizuna crossed his arms with a serious face.

“The problem is that there is no one I can do Climax Hybrid with……it’s out of the question to face them with Eros’s default spec, above all I’ve got no weapon.”

At that time, the door of the center control room opened.

“What are you all doing sleep-talking like that. There is still this me here!”

Gertrude entered the room still on her wheelchair.

“The one sleep talking here is you. You are still in the middle of rehabilitation.”

“You are noisy you know Kizuna boss. Actually I already don’t need something like a wheelchair.”

Saying that, Gertured stood up from the wheelchair.

“Se……see, there is nothing impo…..po, possible, for meee-“

However her standing posture was like a baby deer that was just born. Gertrude who was standing pigeon-toed with fiercely trembling legs made Kizuna held his head.

“No, no matter how I see it, that’s impossible.”

“The, then, just watch this. Sigura!”

Gertrude yelled the name of the Core sleeping inside her. Yellow light overflowed from her body, which then compressed and wrapped her body. And then in an instant, a gun-metallic armor was created.

“GYAAAAAAAAAAAA-ITHURTSSSSSSSSSS!”

But Gertrude immediately fell on her knees and rolled around on the floor.

“O, oi! You okay there?”

“Kuuu……I, I can take it no problemmm”

Kizuna sighed looking at Gertrued whose lips were trembling with teary eyes.

“That’s why don’t force yourself. You cannot fight in your current condition.”

“If, if that’s the case then how about that Climax Hybrid you said? If we do that, even boss Kizuna will power up won’t you? Then, do whatever you want with me.”

Gertrude lied down with face looking up and forcefully raised her arms with a wink, it seemed that she was intending to take a s.e.xy pose. However, her face that was enduring the pain with all her power was completely a turn-off.

“Just what am I going to do, to a girl who make that much pained face just from raising her arm……”

“The, then, as I thought I’m going to fight too.”

She pulled out her main weapon that was pistol-style particle cannon from her waist.

“O-, ouch ouch――and that’s just a joke……ah”

Kizuna took the pistol from Gertrude’s hand casually.

“Wha, what are you doing!?”

“I confiscated this. Just stay quietly there.”

“Re, return it back to me!”

Gertrude reached out her hand, but she could only stay lying down without waking up, so there was no way she could reach.

“Eh?”

Suddenly Gertrude’s hand stopped still and stared with a puzzled face at her pistol that was gripped in Kizuna’s hand.

“……Hm?”

Kizuna stared closely at the pistol in his hand. The appearance looked like a normal pistol. However the inside would shot out particles as bullet made from magic power, it possessed the destructive power that could easily pierce the armor of magic weapon.

“What’s wrong? Is something the matter with this?”

“No……just why is boss holding my gun?”

“Even if you ask me why……”

A window opened between Gertrude and Kizuna.

{Kizuna, you can carry the weapon of other person’s Heart Hybrid Gear?}

“Hm? I don’t remember anything like that until now but……”

Kizuna tried to recall his battles until now. Now that Kei mentioned it, that time when he fought Gravel in Okinawa too, he grasped Neros’s Blade and could use it as a sword.

“――Wait, it’s normally cannot be done?”

{Impossible. The weapon of Heart Hybrid Gear is the possession unique of that gear. Even other person try to use it, it will only return into particle.}

‘Wait, that means――’

“Even if Gertrude wear her Heart Hybrid Gear, she has weapon but cannot fight. I can fight the enemy but don’t have weapon. That’s why――”

‘If I borrow Gertrude’s weapon, I can fight!’

“I can do this! Nee-chan, with this I can fight those guys!”

Reiri shook her head with a complicated face.

“But, it’s no good with just that. The essential thing is lacking.”

{Kizuna’s Hybrid Count is currently 10%.}

“……-. I see.”

Certainly, he had used it up when he escaped Vatlantis and it mostly still hadn’t recovered. Even if he had weapon, he couldn’t make bullet. Far from that, even the time he could maintain Eros was short.

And then, if he used up all his Hybrid Count, what awaited him was――death.

Kizuna clenched his fist tightly.

“But the chance is not zero. It will be a short decisive battle! Will my Hybrid Count get to zero first, or will I defeat the enemy first!”

Reiri opened her eyes in a rage and shouted.

“Don’t say something stupid! You are not doing any Climax Hybrid. Your battle strength itself is not going up at all. Just how are you going to defeat the enemy quickly huh!?”

“No matter what the two of you say, I’ll do it.”

Kizuna turned his back to the two and headed to the exit.

“Wait, Kizuna!”

Reiri stood up so fast that it was like her chair was kicked and ran to the door. And then she cut in between Kizuna and the door and stood in his way with her hand spread widely.

“Nee-chan. Move from there.”

“There is no way I can let you go. You are the last hope remaining for us. There is no way I can let you go to a fight where we understand that you are just going to get killed easily!”

“But, at this rate I won’t be able to save everyone no matter how long! Himekawa, Yuris.h.i.+a, Sylvia, Scarlet, and Masters too. Also……”

――Aine.

“That’s why I’m going. If you don’t move aside, I’m going through with force.”

Kizuna faced Reiri and stepped forward. Their face got near to the degree that their nose tips almost touched, but Reiri also didn’t move. Far from that, she glared back with an expression that burned in rage.

“I understand that you feel responsible. But, bravery and recklessness is different. Self-sacrifice sound heroic but it’s not a virtue. If your objective is to save those girls, perhaps you think that it’s fine even if you die, but if in the end you cannot save them, then it’s just simply a pointless death!”

He couldn’t immediately return back any word.

“-……even if it’s pointless, even if I die, I’ve got to do this. There is time when I have to go no matter what!”

Reiri grinded her teeth with a frustrated face and her eyes were s.h.i.+ning with tears.

“This……idiot!”

Reiri grasped Kizuna’s collar. Kizuna’s neck was constricted and he was pulled roughly. Their foreheads b.u.mped audibly.

“You are fine of that. You feel saved with that. But, that kind of thing is only self-satisfaction! Try to think about the people you left behind! You are just cutting away all hope! You are just increasing the sadness!”

Tears overflowed from Reiri’s eyes. The tears that were flowing out once the dam broke didn’t stop and wetted Reiri’s cheeks and dripped down to her chest.

“Ne, Nee-chan……”

This was the first time he saw his sister’s crying face.

His sister could also cry.

Kizuna received a shock from such an obvious truth.

Flawlessly perfect superhuman.

Even so she also could worry and be hurt.

He understood that much.

But, he couldn’t even imagine the current appearance of his sister.

Her cheeks was red and her tears flowed out without caring of other people’s eye.

His sister that was supposed to be invincible made a look that was this weak and easy to break.

She was like delicate white porcelain that even though hard would break if it was dropped.

“If you die here……I……just for what, all that I did until now……”

‘That tear, is let out for my sake.

I’m Nee-chan’s weak point.

She is thinking about me until this much.

And then I too become a support for Nee-chan’s heart.’

At that moment, he thought of his sister with unbearable dearness.

He loved her since his childhood.

Even the cutest girl in school was inferior compared to his sister.

She was kind, beautiful, and stylish more than anyone.

He admired her.

But the dearness that he felt right now was different with the admiration of that time.

The crying face in front of him looked very beautiful and lovely.

“I, Nee-chan, that……uwaa!?”

Power naturally left Kizuna’s body. Because of that, his collar kept pulled by Reiri and he collapsed forward.

“……-!”

Behind her was automatic door, so Reiri couldn’t even lean on the wall and fell down entangled with Kizuna.

“So, sorry! Are you okay Nee-chan?”

“Ki, Kizuna……you……”

“He?”

Kizuna’s face was buried on Reiri’s breast and one of his hand grasped her breast with a lot of strength. And then Reiri’s legs were parted and his posture was one where he collapsed between them. Her miniskirt was rolled up and her underwear appeared in plain sight. It was unexpectedly erotic with its black lace.

Kizuna and Reiri’s heart ticked in intense beat as if in sync.

At that moment, light s.h.i.+ned in the eyes of the two and light particles were emitted from their body.

“Thi-, this is?”

Both of them looked at each other.

“This is……what does this……I and Kizuna, are showing Heart Hybrid sign? No, there is no way that can happen. That’s impossible.”

Reiri looked up at Kei as if to demand an answer. However Kei also shook her head left and right.

“Re, Re-ri……you have, apt.i.tude for Core?”

Too much shock made Kei forgot herself and spoke with her own voice. Kizuna felt like this was the first time he heard Kei speaking with her voice.

“Tha, that’s right, Nee-chan. Just, what in the world, this mean?”

Kizuna grasped Reiri’s hand and pulled her up. Reiri’s eyes were blank as if she was half-asleep and shook her head weakly.

“I don’t know. Because, I should not have any apt.i.tude for Core. That’s the reason that I became commander. When I was a child, mother told me that I don’t have apt.i.tude for Core so――!?”

Noticing it with a ‘hah’, Reiri’s eyes opened wide and her pupil shook, cold sweat flowed down her cheek.

“Re-ri……is that about, E, eros’s……Core?”

“That’s right……that person, she planned to install Eros’s Core in me before doing it to Kizuna. But, she said that I don’t have the apt.i.tude, and lost interest of me.”

Since then, she believed that she didn’t have apt.i.tude all this time.

Kei put her hand on her chin and pondered.

“By any chance, Eros is……a Core exclusive for man, perhaps.”

Kizuna put his hand on his chest. It was as though he was asking the thing that was inside him.

“Core exclusive for man……Eros is?”

It was a theory that was hard to believe so suddenly. After all, it was a common sense that the Core of Heart Hybrid Gear couldn’t sufficiently display its ability if not with female. That was why Core wasn’t installed except in female. Kizuna was the only exception, but that was only because at the time the research about Core was just started and Kizuna was the first human to be installed with Core.

“That’s impossible. Something like a Heart Hybrid Gear Core exclusive for a man……such thing, doesn’t suppose to exist. Then, just why is Eros’s default spec this low? If it’s exclusive for man, then that means it’s right for it to be installed in me. Then it should be stronger than this right?”

“But, according to Professor Nayuta’s record, it’s mentioned that installing it was tested to Re-ri but it didn’t work. But Re-ri had apt.i.tude for Core……that’s why, by any chance.”

The Core of Eros inside Kizuna that he should be familiar with, suddenly felt like something unknown.

‘――Just what in the world, Eros’s Core is?’

“O, of course, this is merely a guess. A hypothesis. Rather than that right now――”

Kei sent a glance at Reiri.

“In other words……I have Core apt.i.tude?”

Reiri put her hand on her face. Her appearance looked as if she was frustrated of being unable to take back something.

“I……don’t come out to the front line as commander, I installed Core to my subordinate and made them fight……regardless that I myself can fight.”

Kei returned to her senses and typed on her keyboard.

{But, now that it has come to this that become a salvation. In a state where there is no Core installed, that much result can come out, there is no other than Reiri who can do this.}

Certainly that was so. Previously, similar thing happened with Sylvia, but the reaction this time was great that it was incomparable with that time. Was it because they were blood related siblings, that it had an influence?

Kei too typed on her keyboard excitedly.

{Thanks to that we find a method to recover Kizuna’s Hybrid Count. Reiri doesn’t have a Core installed, so even with Climax Hybrid Eros cannot copy the ability of other Core. In other words Eros itself won’t power up. But……}

Kizuna raised his face as if he was struck. His face changed completely from just now, it was filled with hope and motivation.

“My Hybrid Count can fully recover! In addition I have Gertrude’s weapon! I can fight the enemy with this!”

Kizuna faced Reiri with a bright smiling face. However Reiri’s face turned red and she answered incoherently.

“I, I guess. But Kizuna, for that, it’s……”

There Kizuna also noticed.

“Wait, I see! I wit Nee-chan……!?”

Kizuna suddenly began to lose his nerve.

‘――You, you can’t. Don’t be timid! Calm down, Hida Kizuna!’

He persuaded himself like that, but the reddening of his face was unstoppable. His forehead was perspiring with sweat.

Only the Heart Hybrid this time was incomparable with all the other until now. After all the partner was his blood related sister. Furthermore, it was also the person that he idolized since he was a child.

‘――Doing Heart Hybrid with Nee-chan……perverted thing……?’

Just from thinking it, his heart was fiercely beating. Kizuna shook his head in panic.

‘What are you thinking! There is no way I can do something like that! No matter how beautiful she is, this is Nee-chan you know? Even though I idolize her, it’s not about something like that. Right, to feel perverted feeling toward Nee-chan as my partner, that’s impossible!’

Kizuna stole a glance and stared at his sister from the side.

Reiri’s cheek was red and she was crossing her arm as if hugging her own body. Her eyes under her eyebrows that looked troubled were wavering and looked moist. It resulted in an excessive scattering of allure that was exclusive of older female.

*gulp* Kizuna’s throat sounded.

The mix of shame and hesitation in Reiri’s expression was full of opening, different with her usual rigid att.i.tude. It made him felt too much loveliness that pierced his chest.

Perhaps she had noticed Kizuna’s gaze that was like that, Reiri returned a sharp glare.

“Wha, what are you looking so intently like that?”

“Nothing……I’m not looking at anything.”

“Don’t lie. Your eyes look filthy.”

“It’s, it’s not filthy-! I’m not thinking of anything like that! Ne, Nee-chan yourself, just what are you imagining?”

“Wha……I, I too am not imagining anything! Besides, such thing, with my blood related brother……”

“……Aren’t you thinking it?”

“Shut up! That’s impertinent even though you are just a little brother! Anyway, there is no way I will do anything like Heart Hybrid with you. Think using your common sense!”

{But Reiri, if not that then what will we do? Are we going to search for someone that can do Heart Hybrid without Core?}

“Uu……that’s……”

Biting her lip, Reiri dropped her gaze to the floor.

{After one hour, Clayda that is in the front will come into contact with us, and then fifteen minutes from there, Elma will arrive.}

“Kuh……”

Reiri fell silent while still looking down as though to hide her red face.

{There is no time anymore. Reiri.}

Reiri clenched her fist hard.

 

Kei and Kizuna held their breath and waited for Reiri’s decision.

Sweat flowed on Reiri’s blus.h.i.+ng cheek.

s.h.i.+ning drip fell on the floor.

Taking in a deep breath, Reiri raised her face resolutely.

“Kei, I want to buy time until we encountered the enemy. What should I do in that case?”

{It’s best to not move at all like this.}

“Got it. Then Ataraxia will stop in this spot. Also Kizuna, you go first to the experiment room. There is the experiment room where you installed a Core into Sylvia right?”

“Yeah……there were around ten rooms from A to J, those rooms?”

“That’s right. Any room is fine, wait there. You see……actually I had been thinking that something like this might happen and secretly developed a system for recovering Hybrid Count. It seems the time to use that has come.”

Kizuna spontaneously raised a loud voice.

“WHATTt!? Tell me right from the beginning if there is something like that!”

“No……it’s only usable exactly because we understand the fact now that it’s possible to recover your Hybrid Count with me. I didn’t think that it’s actually usable until just now.”

Kei knitted her eyebrows so hard and pursed her lips.

{Wait a second Reiri, just what do you mean by tha}

With a terrific speed, Reiri took out a pen from her breast pocket and threw it at Kei.

“Auu!”

The pen made a clean hit at Kei’s forehead. Kei pressed on her forehead letting her slipping down gla.s.ses as it was while sinking on her chair.

“Ne, Nee-chan……?”

Together with blazing blood thirst, Reiri stared at Kizuna glaringly.

“Never mind that, go.”

“Ye, YES MAM! YES-!”

After saluting, Kizuna exited the center control room in panic and ran to the experiment room.

For the time being he rushed into the experiment room A that was nearest and took a breather. Different with experiment room C that he used for Sylvia’s install, this room A was simple and tidy. Rather than cuteness, its modern furniture made one felt the polished sense and high quality of a model home. There was a sofa and table nearby the wall. The wall at his left had gla.s.s as the whole surface, he could see shower and bathtub inside.

And then at the center of the room, a large bed declared its bizarre presence.

Kizuna sat on that bed and wait for instruction for a while.

“…….They are really slow.”

Even though there was enemy approaching, he was only sitting for more than ten minutes. His impatience was rapidly growing.

Just when he was going to stand up to look at the situation for the moment, the door of the experiment room opened and Kei showed her face.

“Ah, s.h.i.+kina-san. Just how long I have to wait here?”

Not answering his question, Kei put the equipment that she held in both arms on the bed.

“This is……head mount display? Is this the system for use of Hybrid Count recovery?”

Kei stayed silent and began to put the goggle-type equipment on Kizuna’s head. It was an encapsulated model that was combined with a headphone, his eyes and ears were simultaneously sealed with that.

“Wa, wait, s.h.i.+kina-san. You are not going to explain anything? Wait, it’s pitch dark like this and I cannot see anything!”

A snapping sound appeared and the head mount display was locked behind his head.

{Don’t clamor, Kizuna.}

Reiri’s voice flowed from the headphone.

“Nee-chan, just what in the world is this?”

{After this, a woman will go to that room. You do the Heart Hybrid with that woman.}

“Eeh!? Just who is that woman? A candidate?”

{That touched a highly cla.s.sified information, so I cannot tell you. But don’t worry. The woman was habitually watching the fight of you guys closely. And then she came to volunteer of wanting to make herself useful. She also had already piled up enough image training.}

‘So that means, she is a candidate like Sylvia? Possibly, Nee-chan said that she was watching closely, the possibility that it’s someone from the second year first group……no, putting that aside――,’

“Just because of that, with someone who I don’t know who or where she comes from is…..”

Kei’s footstep was becoming more distant and he could hear the sound of her going out from the room. The electricity of the display wasn’t turned on but it seemed that the headphone was on.

Kizuna touched the head mount display and tried to move it a little. However it was fixed tightly, he couldn’t even s.h.i.+ft it.

“Even though there was no considerable result even when I did it with Sylvia before the install……will this really be okay?”

{We picked her by thinking of the apt.i.tude for Heart Hybrid as the greatest priority. Don’t worry. Rather than that, the enemy will come in 45 minutes. Make the Heart Hybrid a success before that. Think only of that for now.}

“Yeah, I guess……if I don’t do that, we won’t be able to survive, we also won’t be able to reach London. In order to save everyone, and then――”

‘――in order to meet Aine.’

Suddenly he could hear the sound of the door of the experiment room opening.

Kizuna’s heart jumped. The sound of slight friction of clothes and quiet footsteps were approaching him. As the sound came closer, Kizuna’s heart beat gradually became louder.

The person was in a distance where he could touch if he reached out his hand. He understood that from her presence. And then the person’s hand touched the head mount display and a sensation of something being tampered with was conveyed to him.

“Err, you are……what are you doing?”

There was a faint activation sound and light flowed into his pitch dark field of vision.

“Aah, so you turned on the electricity……so, you are――”

In the monitor of the head mount display, the image of inside the room was projected. And then the figure of the woman standing in front of him entered his eyes.

“You, you are?”

He raised his gaze from her feet and tried to see her face, and at that moment a belt of light was manifested on the woman’s face.

“Hm? What’s this?”

When he shook his head and looked beside, the belt of light vanished. However when he faced the woman once more, light that he didn’t have any idea where it s.h.i.+ned from crossed over the face of the woman. Furthermore the light was unnaturally spreading on her face.

“This is……by any chance, this is the fault of the head mount display?”

In reality there was no way an unnatural light like this existed.

The woman standing before him had straight beautiful black hair. She was wearing a white gown, so he couldn’t guess her background from her clothes.

A window opened inside his sight, displaying a text from Kei.

{By the way the equipment is not damaged. The partner you will be doing Heart Hybrid with from now on has a reason not to disclose her ident.i.ty, so her look will be regulated by the system. It will be faster to put blindfold and earplug on Kizuna, but you won’t be able to confirm your partner’s position like that. Besides the stimulation from sight and hearing is an important factor in Heart Hybrid. That’s why, we have you take this kind of method.}

“I see. And so a processing is used in the actual image projected in the head mount display so I cannot understand who is she……is that so?”

{Well then, begin quickly. I pray for a good fight.}

When Kei’s window vanished, Kizuna and the mystery woman became alone just the two of them inside the room.

“Err……I don’t know who are you but, I beg you. This is for the sake of saving everyone, help me.”

Kizuna lowered his head. On his head, he felt a soft and fluffy thing touching.

“Eh?”

Was his head patted?

He didn’t know why, but he strangely felt nostalgic from that sensation.

“Err, you are……”

{Let’s do our best.}

An out of place sound that was adjusted by the equipment resounded. He couldn’t see her face because it was hidden by light, but the woman in front of him was also wearing some kind of headset, he guessed that was the thing adjusting her voice.

{Then, that……your clothes.}

The mystery woman distanced herself from Kizuna and showed gestures with her body and hand movement so that he took off his clothes.

“Ah, I see……that’s right huh.”

Kizuna took off his jacket and threw it to the sofa. The person who was suddenly asked for cooperation was devotedly facing this act. It was not the time for him to be hesitating.

He took off his s.h.i.+rt and lowered down his underwear boldly.

That woman untied the string that was tied on her waist and slid down the gown from her shoulder. The skin color that suddenly appeared made him so shocked that it felt like his heart was going to stop for an instant.

There was not a single underwear under the gown……so it seemed.

“What’s……that?”

In front of the woman’s chest and waist, black rectangle was floating.

{Ye, yes. That, being seen is a little……}

Similar with how the woman’s face was hidden by light, this was also the adjustment of the head mount display. Even if he changed the direction from where she saw the woman, the black rectangle followed his gaze and continued to hide the breast and waist. Kizuna reflexively smiled wryly.

“……Like that, it’s almost no different with wearing a blindfold.”

Kizuna’s murmur made the mystery woman spoke in fl.u.s.ter.

{Go, got it. It can’t be helped……that, don’t stare so much okay?}

The woman put her hand on his ear and seemed to operate something. Thereupon, the hindrance black rectangle suddenly vanished.

The surprisingly erotic limbs became exposed without anything hiding them.

“Uwa……”

His voice reflexively leaked out. It was a body which was just that beautiful and lascivious. The large breast had a beautiful perky shape, maintaining its shape without losing to the gravity. There was no pointless flesh in her waist, in exchange her hips was greatly sticking out, her a.s.s that was suitable for easy childbirth proclaimed its impactful volume. It was a body that would stimulate male instinct without fail whether one wanted it or not.

The s.e.xiness that felt like it was punching him in the face made Kizuna watching in fascination.

‘――Should I say it’s s.e.xy, or dynamite, or a willful body……no matter what it is, I cannot think of her as a student the same age like me. No, but there is also a case like Yuris.h.i.+a though. I cannot use her as standard though.’

{Well then……how about we start.}

“Aah, ri, right.”

Even while feeling a little nervous, Kizuna faced her in his birthday suit.

The mystery girl slowly approached and embraced Kizuna. Kizuna’s chest felt the slightly stiff sensation of the breast tips. And then the soft sensation was spreading on his chest. It was a luscious sensation even more than the breast of anybody else he had felt until now.

‘――A, amazing. What’s, this.”

“A breast that feels this good……is the first.”

Kizuna’s murmur that unintentionally leaked out made the woman’s arms which were circled behind him trembled.

When their body separated, the mystery woman took Kizuna’s hand and invited him to the bed. And then both of them sat close at each other on the edge of the bed as if snuggling close.

‘――s.h.i.+t, what to do after this? I never thought that the circ.u.mstance will be this different from not knowing the partner. Don’t get oddly nervous!’

Sitting side by side like this, only the time pa.s.sed moment by moment with the two of them not making a move.

Getting too nervous caused them to be mutually unable to grasp the first cue.

“E, err……you, how do you like it……like where do you feel good……?”

{……}

“No, sorry for asking a strange thing……I wonder what to do……”

‘This is bad, my head is blank! The nervousness cannot be compared with anything until now! My heart is thumping, like it’s going to explode!’

The mystery woman stared at Kizuna fixedly. He didn’t really understand due to the light, perhaps it was just his feeling, but she looked a little troubled. Before long the woman reached her hand to Kizuna’s shoulder.

“Hm? What are……owaa!?”

Kizuna’s body was pulled down and his head was placed on her lap.

“O, oii, suddenly……uu!”

The mystery woman went further by placing her breast on Kizuna’s face and one of her hand reached out to Kizuna’s crotch. And then her white slender fingers arrested Kizuna’s thing.

{No matter how much time pa.s.sed you didn’t make any more, so this can’t be helped.}

The woman’s fingers that were softly gripping moved up and down. It was gentle but certain, granting stimulation to Kizuna.

“Wai? Wait a second……uuu!”

{It’s fine so please suck my breast.}

The large and soft breast shook, it was place on Kizuna’s face. When the woman raised her body a little, a pacifier was dangled down just on the location of his lips. It emitted sweet fragrance, a really bewitching fruit. Shuddering luscious temptation ran through Kizuna’s spine.

Kizuna sucked at that pink pacifier.

{Nnauu!}

The woman’s body trembled and she raised a delighted voice.

{Ye, yes……good kid. Suck it……properly.}

Her voice pushed his back as though she was rooting for him, Kizuna became dazed and sucked the breast inside his mouth.

{Ah, afu, fufuu, if a milk can come out……it make me want to, make you drink it.}

Kizuna put her breast largely into his mouth and rolled the tip with his tongue.

{Fuwaaa! Ahaaann, he, hey-, don’t get carried awayyy}

“Eh!?”

Kizuna was startled and separated his mouth in panic. His back spontaneously straightened and it made him wanting to sit down in seiza posture from the thundering voice just now.

‘――What the, her tone suddenly changed wasn’t she?’

{Ah! ……No, nothing at all-! Don’t mind it! Geez, Kizuna-kun was just too skilled, that I unconsciously forgot myself there.}

“I, is that so? It’s great if you enjoyed it but……”

He felt like he was scolded somehow, honestly he got the jitters.

{I’m sorry. Yes……what Kizuna-kun did, felt really good.}

As if to return the favor, the woman tightened her hand and stroke Kizuna’s thing. That pleasure was severe, leading Kizuna’s lower body to indescribable pleasure in a flash.

Kizuna desperately endured the sweet pleasure that was hard to resist. However he couldn’t endure in any way, and then he sweetly bit on the woman’s breast in desperation.

{Hyaann! I, I told you, don’t be mischievous like tha……ge, geez-!}

She put strength into the fingers that were gripping Kizuna’s thing. And then she raised the speed of her hand going up and down.

“Do-, don’t. I, I’m at my limit already!”

{Don’t endure it. Just like this, in my hand……}

“UOO!”

At that moment Kizuna’s waist floated in the air. Hot liquid was overflowing from the mystery girl’s hand. It was as though he had let out everything from inside his body, a pleasant relaxation a.s.saulted his whole body.

{……This is}

The woman stared fixedly at the liquid that stained her hand. He couldn’t read her expression from her face that was hidden by light. However, from her half-opened mouth that was visible, she looked as though she was intoxicated by obscene pleasure.

{Kizuna, kun. What about your Hybrid Count? Has it returned to usual?}

“No……it doesn’t change. Looks like it still not enough.”

{I see. If that so……}

The mystery woman made Kizuna to sit at the edge of the bed and she kneeled in front of him. And then she grasped Kizuna’s knees with both hand and opened his legs widely.

“Eh? Wa, what are you!”

The woman wasted no time to slid her body in between and looked up at Kizuna. Perhaps the image processing was slightly slipping off, he could catch a peek of the smile that decorated her lips. It seemed that the eyes that should be above that lips were also smiling, he felt that the smiling face was very obscene.

{Fufu, I heard that Kizuna-kun like breast aren’t you? You are always looking at girl’s chest.}

“Eh……no, something like that is…”

{You mustn’t lie. This time……it will be with this, okay?}

“With this……euu!?”

His thing that was a little declining in vigor was sandwiched by the woman’s breast.

“Kuh, to go that far……-!”

It was a stimulation that he felt for the first time. It was a fluffy softness that couldn’t be tasted from hand or other thing. He even felt moved for something this soft to exist. The sensation was completely different from having it touched by hand.

The woman stared fixedly at Kizuna’s face, seeming to guess whether he felt it or not.

{Fufu. Does it feel that good? If that’s so then……how about this I wonder?}

She pressed on her breast from the side with both her hands and pressured Kizuna’s thing. At the same time, the breast was rubbing on Kizuna’s body with its up and down motion. The liquid that Kizuna spewed out became lubricant so the sliding was good. The slippery sensation and smell also granted pleasure to the woman. Kizuna also understood how the tips of the woman’s breast gradually becoming harder.

“Aah……this is, amazing.”

{……How is it compared to other girl’s chest I wonder?}

“It’s, the best……feels good.”

The instant she heard those words, beads of light slightly flowed into the eyes of the mystery woman. That radiance was the sign of Heart Hybrid. At the same time, an intoxicating effect for the sake of helping the Heart Hybrid would attack the woman. It was impossible to oppose that effect.

The woman suddenly dropped her eyes to her breast, the sight of the head going out cutely every time the breast moved up and down entered her eyes. As if being invited, her lips were timidly getting closer and she kissed at the tip.

“Wah! Yo, you?”

Kizuna felt a sensation that he had never tasted until now from his crotch. A small slippery sensation was crawling around his thing. He didn’t dare to believe it while looking down, but then the shocking sight that was enfolding between his groin rushed into his eyes.

The mystery woman stretched out her tongue and licked at his thing.

{Mm…..fuh, chuu}

The soft and slippery tongue was licking up Kizuna with a strength stronger than he even imagined. As if to trace Kizuna’s shape, the tongue was tasting the thing many times over.

The tongue was moving licking over and over, attacking Kizuna with pleasant feeling that felt like it would broke his waist.

“This is, bad……a, amazing”

{Nfu? Dhon’t, hold bhack. Rahther than thhat, more――}

The lips of the female were s.h.i.+ning wet from saliva and Kizuna’s liquid. Those lips opened widely and swallowed Kizuna’s thing.

“Hah!? ……Kuaaa!”

He had never experienced such heat until now. And then, inside the mouth the tongue was persistently crawling around Kizuna’s thing.

“Something, like this……I can’t hold-“

His hands gently held the woman’s head and he softly inserted strength trying to separate their body. However the mystery woman wouldn’t let go and on the contrary embraced Kizuna’s hips.

“Wai! It’s really bad I said! Uaaa”

The woman desperately sucked at Kizuna’s thing. Her squishy lips narrowed like a circle and stimulated with back and forth motion.

Receiving stimulation that called many pleasant feelings at the same time, Kizuna was cornered until he was only a step behind his limit. At that moment, pink particles of light scattered from Kizuna’s body.

The mystery woman was slowly pulling her head and at last her mouth separated with *chuu* sound.

“……Ha, haaaa”

Kizuna raised a fatigued voice.

However the woman charmingly smiled and crawled on all four above the bed. Her a.s.s that was smooth without a single stain with beautiful shape and large ma.s.s, was directed to Kizuna.

{Kizuna……kun♥}

One of her hand grasped a side of her a.s.s and she showed how she opened her slit――but,

“Wait, that’s……mosaic?”

Between the groin of the woman was shaded off with block shape, a mosaic was put on it.

{……I thought that perhaps I should hide my last fortress.}

“I was surprised when it suddenly appeared……or rather, like this, it mysteriously feels erotic though.”

Floating a complicated smile that seemed fatigued, Kizuna reached his hand to the part that was blocked by mosaic. When his hand entered the mosaic, his fingers were also got overlapped by mosaic.

{Fufufuu, to hide it after this far……perhaps there is no point in it.}

The mystery woman giggled in resignation and fiddled with the headset. Thereupon, the mosaic vanished and the most important place of the woman was exposed to Kizuna’s eyes.

Even though her face was hidden, the most important place that was moistly getting wet was displayed. That difference and contradiction were calling forth even large feeling of immorality.

{Please……Kizuna, kun.}

After telling him only that, she didn’t say anything further. However what she was demanding for had been conveyed enough to Kizuna.

He reached his hand to the a.s.s of the mystery woman and Kizuna caressed the plump voluminous a.s.s. It was really an a.s.s that was worth it to be caressed. When his finger crawled along her trench, her body interestingly trembled in s.h.i.+vers, it was also lovely.

Kizuna once again traced that body from her shoulder to her back, and then his hand circled and traced the shape of her breast, then from her abdomen to her waist, and then toward her a.s.s, he caressed as if to ascertain the series of curve.

“……Hm?”

Suddenly he thought that her line was close to the female that she knew well the most.

‘――No, that’s impossible. No matter what, there is no way that can happen.’

Kizuna persuaded himself like that, then he touched his thing to the opened part of the woman. And then he slowly pushed his waist forward.

Kizuna’s thing sc.r.a.pped the valley of the woman, the back of the woman was trembling from that pleasure. And then he slipped through the narrow opening that was created from the valley of the groin and the thighs, and the head of Kizuna’s thing came out.

{Aaann}

The mystery woman raised her head and showed an expression that warped in pleasure. Right now the work of the light was weakening considerable and the light only covered the eyes’ line at the woman’s face.

{Haaa……fufufu-, I thought that you will enter it for real, it made my heart beating hard.}

She looked back at Kizuna behind her and showed him an absurdly s.e.xy smile. If he was shown a face like that, it made him wis.h.i.+ng to actually do that.

“Here I go……”

Kizuna banged his waist on the woman’s a.s.s. There was the sound of skin and skin colliding.

{Ah, ah! Kizuna-hn kuu}

Each time he moved back and forth, he dug into the woman’s soft and wet valley, he strongly stimulated the most sensitive bud. The overflowing honey became drips and flew everywhere.

{Aah, fuawaaaaauu! Auu! Goodd aaaaa}

The thighs of the woman that were closed tightly circulated the hot honey to fall. Matching the intense movement, her disarrayed hair danced in the air.

Her cheeks were blus.h.i.+ng and her mouth slovenly opened with an intoxicated expression. Her melting face raised gasping voice deliriously.

{Aah, goood, more, goodd, aaaan!}

“Aah, me too, already, more than this is!”

The mystery woman shook her head unable to bear the pleasure.

{Already, no good-♥ But……aannn, no good already, ii! ♥}

“UAAAAA-!”

The highest pleasure to date was driven up from Kizuna’s tailbone.

The woman bended her body backward as hard as she could.

“HAYYyyNNNAAAAAAAaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHN♥♥♥}

The convulsion that continued intermittently, the pleasure that continued without pause, and happy pleasure attacked the whole body.

At that moment, dazzling radiance was born from the body of the two.

 

 Part 3

The battles.h.i.+p that appeared from London’s Entrance was aiming straight at Ataraxia. Its shape was abnormally long with wings, it looked closer to an airplane than a s.h.i.+p already. The main point of this s.h.i.+p was the curved surfaces configuration with delicate shape like a living thing which extended the cruising range, a design that was created by means of Nayuta’s hand.

The one-eyed Clayda was standing on the bow of the s.h.i.+p while crossing her arms. Her right eye was covered by eye patch, only her right eye was staring at the sea ahead.

“This s.h.i.+p really has long reach. How pleasing.”

Different from Vatlantis, the consumption of magic power in Lemuria was fast. When their magic power was completely used up, whether magic weapon or battles.h.i.+p would be terminated. No matter what their sphere of activity were limited to around the Entrance.

“But with this we can go to kill Kizuna.”

Clayda’s body was wrapped in the magic armor [Gares]. The armor covering her body was limited to the minimum. In exchange her arms and legs were attached with small thrusters. Those things were for the sake of accelerating her body mobility in the time of battle. And then there was two flying units on her back which were her main propulsive force, in addition two units for controlling her posture were attached. The main units had the appearance like a sharp fang, looking like two tusk of mammoth jutting out to the front. In the occasion where she swung her sword, the unit also had the function to fold behind so it wouldn’t be a hindrance, the magic armor matched the fighting style of Clayda.

Once in the Colosseum, she slaughtered a lot of enemy with the main armament of Gares which was a crescent moon type sword, [Selene(Crescent Moon Sword)]. Yellow particle which was the magic power of Clayda was running on the surface of that magic armor. The happiness of once again hunting a prey that she failed to finish previously seemed as though it was expressed through the light of the magic power.

Clayda drew out the thin crescent moon sword which she shouldered on her back. This naked blade once dug into Kizuna’s neck, it remembered how it absorbed his sweat.

She really wanted to cut him down at that time. However there was a command to not kill him and so she endured. She was going to take back the neck that she should have taken. While she was gazing at the path ahead with a feeling of exultation, a floating window floated, obstructing her field of vision.

{How do you do, Clayda.}

Elma who was pursuing Ataraxia from behind was projecting an elegant smile.

“What’s the matter Elma? Has you reached the limit of your cruising range?”

{No, no, your worry is unnecessary. The mobile fortress of the enemy……Ataraxia if I remembered correctly? It seems that I’ll be able to reach them without any problem.}

“There is no need to force yourself. I alone is enough for that fortress after all.”

Clayda replied with a strong tone.

{My, Clayda. Are you trying to monopolize the prey?}

“After all this seems to be a tough prey after a long time. Fufu, I recalled my time in Colosseum, my blood is boiling up right now. You just stay quiet and watch Elma.”

Elma cutely raised a giggling voice.

{Sheesh, Clayda. There is no way I’ll hand over the prey to you that easily. I’ll receive that prey for myself. Because, this is the direct order from Grace-sama herself. I cannot do something like handing this over to other person. I have to raise achievement and then get praised by Zel-sama.}

The temple of Clayda was moving in irritation.

“I see, so you intend to be a hindrance no matter what.”

{Fufufu, this is first come first served. Let’s have a match. The content is who will kill Hida Kizuna first.}

“Hmph, interesting. But the only thing that will happen is me receiving that guy’s head. That’s why……I won’t hand it over to Elma!”

After Clayda erased the window, she raised the output of the wars.h.i.+p. The s.h.i.+p’s speed increased at once and she headed to Ataraxia in full speed.

‘――That guy will be killed by this me. I‘ll have him pay for the sin of dirtying Selene!

Surely around this time Elma is also heading to Ataraxia with full speed, no doubt about it. No matter what I’ll arrive faster than Elma!’

Clayda’s wars.h.i.+p raised its speed further.

At that time, she could see a shadow of a city was rising from the horizon. Clayda’s face floated a smile of victory.

“I came to receive the life I left in your custody, Hida Kizuna!”

Clayda made her magic armor’s thrusters spurted out light particles and flew up from the wars.h.i.+p. And then she turned to Ataraxia and flew like a meteor.

 

He wore Eros and on his hips were the pistol style particle cannon that he borrowed from Gertrude in preparation. The two pistols were hanged down in improvised holsters. This was his only method of fighting.

‘However the opponents are elites that are feared as the Quartum.

In the end, will this have any effect against them?

I don’t do the Climax Hybrid. So to speak, I’m not having any power up. I’m still in the default state of the powerless Eros.’

“There is no way I can win huh……no matter how you look at it.”

For some reason a smile floated on Kizuna’s lips. Even he didn’t understand why he was smiling. However his lips naturally loosened.

“Really, just why I’m doing something like this.”

He couldn’t even imagine doing this one year ago. Even if his past self know about his current self, surely his past self would absolutely not believe it.

But, right now in order to save his comrades, and then in order to speak with Aine one more time――,

He drew out the particle cannon from the right holster.

“Her I go! Clayda.”

He fired at the coming Clayda. The magic power light which was solidified into bullet flying by cutting through the air. Clayda stared fixedly at that bullet. She could see it. The movement of the bullet.

“Haaa!”

The Selene in her hand slashed.

The bullet of light was bisected into two.

‘――You’re joking.’

Cold sweat flowed on Kizuna’s back.

He thought that she would block with Life Saver or evaded. However, he never thought that she would cut an approaching bullet.

“It become even more and more useless!”

Kizuna drew out the left gun and rapid-fired with both hands.

The two bullets were easily beaten down by Clayda’s sword. There was no anxiety at all in her motion, she was moving naturally.

Kizuna ignited his thruster and flew to the sky, maintaining his distance with Clayda.

Alarm was ringing loud in the city below.

{Informing all personnel! Ataraxia is entering combat status. Interception squad is to begin intercepting at the prescribed location! All guys other than them, don’t show out your face!}

The combat department students were preparing to intercept the enemy in every location of Ataraxia. Buildings that were built firmly to be used as defensive wall were deployed, in addition the plazas and roads were blockaded and built into encampment. Due to the combat, every base was getting frenzied.

“Here they come! Prepare firing the rapid fire cannon. Oi! You guys research department, quickly go away! You are getting in the way!”

At the encampment that was built near the front line, the battle was just on the verge of starting. A student of combat department yelled at the student of research department that was deploying the new weapon.

The female student who was yelled replied back with angry yelling.

“You are noisy! I’m coming here to deliver the new weapon, so thank me you muscle brain!”

Saying that, she threw the new type a.s.sault rifle at the person. That rifle was the improvised version of the railgun that Kizuna kept finding fault at Nayuta Lab.

Kurumizawa Momo puffed her chest while standing imposingly.

“That thing’s destructive power is far higher compared until now. If it still doesn’t have any effect like that, then it can’t be helped!”

“s.h.i.+t-, come on, prepare a weapon that can kill the enemy with certainty!”

“My bad! But the one that is going to finish the enemy is Hida-kun there! We are just covering him. At the very least, don’t hit at Hida-kun!”

“I got it! Oi, they are coming from the left! Lay out the barrage!”

“……Sorry that there is only this kind of weapon.”

Momo murmured softly.

“Hm? What did you say!?”

“Don’t mind it! Rather than that gather actual combat data for me. Then, take care of the rest.”

Leaving those words behind to the undercla.s.smen staff, Momo got outside from the gap between the steel wall that surrounded the encampment.

“Oii! Where are you going? I’m not getting responsible if you died!”

“There is still thing I need to do!”

Momo ran on the street where there was no a single soul other than her. The rapid fire cannons and missiles that were set up at both side of the road fired. Hot wind and burst out smoke made her stumbled, but she didn’t mind it and ran through the gap.

She had to return quickly to the lab. There was still an essential work remaining there.

Fierce explosive sounds resounded, Momo stopped her feet and looked around her surrounding. Thereupon, the sight of the buildings that doubled as defensive walls lining up at the outer circ.u.mference exploding entered her eyes. A few seconds later, Momo gulped audibly looking at the building that was crumbling down. Flying over that building were two lights that clashed at each other several times, they pa.s.sed above Momo’s head.

“Hida-kun-!”

Momo turned around and looked up at where the lights were going. After several more collision, the pink light was falling down.

“……tsu-!!”

Her heart froze. Could it be――,

Kei’s window opened in front of Momo’s face.

{Momo, return quickly. I want to hurry the reinforcement of the cooling system of the energy transmission.}

“Ye, yes. I will return immediately Chief.”
