Volume 9 - Ch Side Story
Regardless of how the starting time for the class at the classroom of Ataraxia high school department second year first group was close, more than half of the seats were empty. Due to Hokutos attack there were a lot of students that were resting from injury or running around as labor service for the reconstruction support.
Kizuna was sitting on his own seat while staring outside the window. The city where reconstruction was progressing was reflected in his eyes, but inside his head he was thinking about different matter.
At present, the battleship for the use of another world exploration was in the middle of construction. When it finished, they would immediately embarked to search for Deus ex Machina, but before that there was something Kizuna ought to do.
It was Cores reinstall.
{Thats so. The search will be carried out by splitting into three teams, so at the very least reinstall one person for each team.}
His mother who was in the appearance of a young girl told him that. He had already finished the reinstall at Himekawa. Two people left. Kizuna was worrying who he should do that to.
Kizuna, whats the matter? You are making a gloomy face.
A voice called at him from behind suddenly. When he looked up, there was a tanned smiling face with blonde short hair there.
Gravel. So you came to school.
When Kizuna let out a joyful face, Gravel was also looking at him fondly with delight.
Yeah. As expected it seems that my body has become completely used to this routine righ now. I spent my time leisurely for two, three days after I got discharged from hospital, but I couldnt calm down no matter what.
Gravel sat at the seat behind Kizuna.
There were two teams remaining that needed reinstall. Most likely they would be split into Vatlantis group and Izgard&Baldein group. If that was the case, then obviously Gravel would be the one from Izgard.
Only Vatlantis remained.
Kizuna, what about the others?
Aah, HimekawaHayuru is energetic. Grace is still in the middle of rehabilitation. Hyakurath will be discharged soon, she should be under home recuperation after that I think.
For the candidates from Vatlantis, first was Grace. And then next was Hyakurath. Putting aside the past, in this reborn Ataraxia he had spent time with those two as classmates. Both of them could be trusted, their strength was also certain.
However, they were still not in the condition that could do reinstall werent they. However, if speaking about other powerful person in Vatlantis then.
At that time the chime of the whole school broadcast sounded. In a glance the monitor that was visible on the blackboard turned on and a face of a female student was projected. It was an adult face and figure that really couldnt be seen as a high school student at all. Her sharp eyes were shining on her crisp expression.
{This is the student council president Zelcyone. Today after school a combined battle practice will be conducted. The students who are scheduled to participate are to come without exception. Also, the student mentioned}
Zelcyone
The captain of Vatlantis Empire imperial guards. AS a matter of fact she was the person who was standing at the top of Vatlantis army. With her mind attack that other magic armor couldnt do, she was a terrifying magic knight.
Kizuna was staring fixedly at that face which was largely projected at the front of the classroom. Zelcyone was one of the few magic knights that wasnt injured when Hokuto attacked.
No no! No matter how, that woman is just impossible.
He put a lid on his thought before it could become a clear idea. Be that as it may, was there anybody else? A powerful person of Vatlantis, with perfect health, and could possible had their Core reinstalled.
Kizuna decided in his heart the remaining candidate.
Inside the ground of Nayuta Lab, there was a stylish hot spring in that was newly made jointly with its reconstruction. It was something built for the solace of the personnel, so it was set up to be wooden Japanese architecture, verdant Japan garden with boulder and pond placed there, and then open air bath, all in pure Japanese style.
The hot water of the hot spring didnt come from nature, but its composition was created to be very close to the real thing. They had once discovered hot spring at the bottom of ocean and pumped up hot water from there, but right now there was no way they could do that. However, this hot water was of a good make that couldnt be differentiated with natural hot spring without someone gotten told.
After they recovered their memory, they became nostalgic of the facilities that existed in Megafloat Japan but none in Ataraxia, so a lot of facilities were constructed, this was one of those.
Kizuna was waiting for someone in one of the room there.
The room deep at the second floor was the best room in this inn. The ceiling was high with spacious and luxurious construction, even the furnishings like the chair and table were all high class item with high quality. At the other side of the paper sliding door created from hinoki cypress like a bamboo screen, there was a long and narrow small room, refreshing wind was flowing in from the window.
Kizuna was looking down at a beautiful Japanese garden from that window. The greenery was beautiful, the placement of the stones forming the pond and stream was flowed by water, it was a garden that had close resemblance with a famous temple in Kyoto. The scent of new tatami and hinoki cypress filled the room, in addition the refreshing wind flowing from the garden also mixed with it, creating an atmosphere that really calmed down the person inside.
It softened the nervousness of what he would do after this.
When he was deeply breathing in the air outside, there was the sound of the sliding door at the entrance opened.
Just what business you have with me, Hida Kizuna?
A voice that was sharp like a blade resounded, causing Kizuna to instinctively felt choked. His peaceful feeling instantly got blown away, nervousness ruled over his heart.
Its nice for you to come, Zelcyone.
Zelcyone who was wearing Ataraxias uniform was crossing her arms with a disappointed expression.
Well, sit down.
Kizuna separated from the edge of the window and returned to the room, he then sat down on a tatami chair. They sat surrounding a too wide lacquer table, he was facing each other with Zelcyone.
I havent finished taking care of the student councils work. If you have a business with me then finishes it quickly.
My bad to call you when you are busy. Even soalthough you are complaining, you are continuing to act properly as the student council president huh.
Zelcyone scowled sharply and let out a low voice.
Im not doing this because I like it. Im only thinking that making the students get agitated even more than this and in turn lowering our combat potential is not a good plan.
At that time Excuse me a voice could be heard from outside. The sliding screen was quietly opened and a female servant wearing a kimono in seiza posture appeared.
I bring the tea for the honored guests.
Listen well. I have no intention to get along with you. I came because you said that this talk concerns the search of Ainess-sama that will be carried out eventually. Say your business quickly.
Zelcyone didnt even pay any attention at all to things like the existence of the female servant entering the room, she threw her irritated feeling at Kizuna.
And so,
She didnt notice the hand of the female servant behind her sinking into her back.
That small hand felt unpleasantly groping around inside her chest. It was already too late when she felt that uncanny sensation.
!?
She slashed with hand chop while turning back. However behind her there was no figure of anybody.
There was only the dark entrance at the other side of the sliding door that was left open.
Wha..just now?
Its this way, Zelcyone-sama.
Zelcyone turned back in a flash.
However Zelcyone-sama too has completely grown soft after living for so long in Atarxia. Well, for me this is also something desirable though.
Settled snugly above Kizunas knees, Hida Nayuta was fanning herself with her fan.
HidaNayuta!
Zelcyones face distorted hatefully.
Say, Kaa-san? Can you not sit there like its only natural?
Isnt this fine. You need to fulfill your filial piety sometimes.
Rather than a parent, she only looked like a daughter sitting on the lap of a young father.
So you are going to toy with me until that farTeros!
Zelcyone called the name of her magic armor.
What?
Normally the armor should be equipped on her body instantly, but it didnt appear. Silence spread inside the room, the trees at the garden were giving off the sound of their rustling.
This is, impossibleTeros!
Are you looking for this?
Nayutas fingertips were holding a silver capsule.
Thats-!
The color of Zelcyones face changed. She had seen that capsule before. Originally it should be inside her chest, the Core of the magic armor Teros.
You bastardyou took it out just now. In that short time, without even any wound
Its something trivial for the current me.
Zelcyones gaze glared at Nayuta, as though saying that she would kill her.
Well, please dont make that scary face. Its not a lie that we are going to talk about something related with the search of Aine. If I have to say it directly, this talk is about the power up of your magic armor Teros, thats what this is about.
Zelcyone closed her eyes and her mouth pursed tightly, but before long she opened her eyes slowly.
Lets hear the detail.
