Chapter 1 part 2

"Haa... I'm tired."

Afternoon break. Kizuna exited the school building as if running away. He couldn't bear the gazes of his classmates that were filled with disgust. The atmosphere made him feel like he was going to choke, that when he went outside he breathed in relief.

"I wonder what I should do about lunch... maybe it would be better if I asked about the school cafeteria."

However, if he took a step outside the school, there would be a lot of food stores outside.

When he peeked outside, there were a lot of students having fun talking while having their meals.

If it was like this, then even without a school cafeteria there would be no problem at all.

After hesitating, in the end he entered a fast food store that was safe.

However, the moment Kizuna entered the store, the bustling atmosphere inside froze.

'――Eh? Wh, what?'

"O, oi. That guy, that's Eros."

"Don't look, it seems that you will get pregnant if your eyes meet his you know?"

"I heard that the second year Chidorigafuchi and Himekawa had already become his prey."

"Is the implementation for the assassination plan not finished yet?"

"Shh, about that talk..."

'Oi oi oi! There is a dangerous talk that's not a laughing matter mixed there!'

Kizuna exited the fast food store to escape, but on the outside, gazes from the girls as if they were looking at something filthy were directed at him while gazes filled with envy and grudge were glared at him from the boys.

'Aah... can I keep living here like this?'

"Hida-kun."

Kizuna was surprised from hearing a voice calling his name.

So there was a person who would talk to him in this Ataraxia.

However, he comprehended it after seeing the owner of the voice.

"Chidorigafuchi huh... what business do you have with me?"

"What are you going to do for lunch?"

"Uu..."

He couldn't answer. Honestly, he didn't have anymore prospect.

"Is that so? If so then come with me. I'll bless you with a meal."

"Are you treating me, or are you saying that I'll be the one treating..."

However, there was nobody else that would eat together with him. In the first place, it didn't seem that he would be able to obtain any lunch. As far as he was concerned, he had no other option.

"...Got it. I'll accept your gift. Then, where to?"

"Follow me."

He was led into a forest where there was no human presence.

When they passed through out of the forest, there was a terrace that faced the sea with chair and table put there.

Or perhaps it should be said, that this place was right near the spot where he met Chidorigafuchi for the first time.

Kizuna nervously sat side-by-side with Aine.

When Aine opened the wrapping that she was holding, a bento box appeared from inside.

"Here, eat up."

Inside the box were crammed with beautiful sandwiches.

"Oo-! Don't tell me this is handmade?"

"That's right. For you to be able to eat the handmade bento by this me, you are truly the happiest person in the world."

He didn't know about that, but, anyway, this was a lunch that he had prepared to give up just now. Let's just eat it gratefully.

"Itadakima―su." (TN: Itadakimasu, a phrase Japanese people say before eating.)

Tuna sandwich, egg sandwich, he ate them one after another.

"Oo-, it's really delicious! But, this..."

"Is there something?"

"No, it's like... the taste is really similar with the sandwiches sold in the convenience store."

"Of course it's like that. It's something I bought from the convenience store."

"Then this is not handmade!"

"I cut them into half and put them into the bento box."

"What kind of explanation is that! If that's true, then even heating instant curry counts as handmade, putting hot water inside cup ramen also counts as handmade cooking!?"

"Then I'll ask you this, where does the definition of handmade cooking begin and where does it end?"

'Eh-?'

"For example, if you buy bread and tuna can in a convenience store, then can you call it handmade cooking if you jammed the tuna between the bread I wonder? I cannot feel any fundamental difference from there, though."

"No, well, certainly that might be true but..."

"If you talk about handmade cooking in that kind of meaning, then as expected you will need to grow the wheat and catch the tuna fish from the place where they set out, you have to do everything from the start. However, if Hida-kun tells me to do that no matter what, then I think I'll submit permission to leave school and board a tuna fishing ship."

"I'm sorry! Chidorigafuchi's handmade lunch is delicious!"

"It's fine if you understand."

What a tiresome woman, this girl.

"Right right, also there is one more thing, there is something I want you to eat."

"Hm? What. Something like a desert?"

Aine stood up and stood in front of Kizuna.

And then, she pinched her skirt and slowly lifted it up.

"Wha-!?"

"To call this a desert, I'll take off my hat towards the extent of your sleaziness."

"Just who means that! It's fine already, just put back down your skirt! It's totally visible from here!"

"...You've seen it?"

"N, no... just barely, only almost, I didn't see it though."

However, the thighs that could be seen from the gap between the skirt and the over-knee-socks were dazzling. And then, if the skirt was raised one more millimeter, the panty would be visible.

In the case of this morning she was also like this, but, did this girl not have this thing called shame?

When he stared fixedly at Aine's face, her cheeks seemingly had a reddish tinge.

"Look here... by any chance, are you actually embarrassed?"

"There is no way that's true. Look at how calm I am."

When he saw her wrist, the finger tips that were pinching the skirt were shaking.

"How is it? It seems that by doing an act that cannot be done inside the school, the feeling of immorality gives rise to excitement."

Kizuna gulped his saliva.

"If you want to see, it's fine to flip it over you know."

Her voice seemed calm, but her expression looked anxious somehow.

This girl, actually she was unreasonably forcing herself wasn't she?

...Should he test it?

Kizuna slowly reached out his hand to her skirt.

Aine's thighs quivered shiveringly.

"As I thought, you are really forcing yourself right?"

"...I wonder what are you babbling about, you animal. There is no way that this me will falter from just this much."

"But, you are shaking you know?"

"This is warrior's excitement from the anticipation of obtaining the [Corruption Armament] from now on. I'm really happy I cannot bear it."

――Corruption armament?

"What is that... this thing called [Corruption Armament]?"

"It's fine already, just strip this off. I don't mind at all so... just this much."

Aine's cheeks reddened and she averted her eyes.

"I, if you say until that much then..."

After Kizuna pinched the skirt's hem, he slowly lifted it up.

He could almost see the area where her long and slender two legs were connected into one.

And then, finally that summit became visible.

At the other side, he could peek at her ass right from the front.

This was, a girl's panty...?

"Err, Chidorigafuchi-san."

"What is it?"

"...This is a pilot suit isn't it?"

"Yes. I don't know when I will need to scramble out after all. Naturally I'm wearing it under my uniform."

Honestly, this was also erotic so it was completely okay! But, for some reason he felt cheated!

"No doubt you are aroused right? Now, with this, all the preparations are complete. Quickly make the Corruption Armament――"

"Err..."

There was a voice that was not Kizuna's or Aine's.

Without them realizing it, there was a girl standing nearby. She was a middle school student but her height was short like an elementary student.

'Craaaaaaaaaaaaaap!'

Just what kind of scene he showed to this innocent girl!

'Like this ain't I completely a pervert! A hundred percent molester!'

That girl, with her petite body and beautiful blonde hair completely looked like a westerner. Her large eyes opened wide in perfect circle looking at him.

Perhaps he had already planted a trauma inside a girl this cute that she wouldn't be able to forget for her whole life.

'However, if that happened then I would continue to live inside that girl forever... This is not the time to think something stupid! I've got to think of an emergency countermeasure now!'

"By the way Hida-kun. I wonder if you can release you hand from my skirt soon? It's a little bad to show this in front of an underclassman I think."

'GYAAAAA, I'm still flipping over her skirttt!'

Kizuna separated his hand in panic and desperately began to make an excuse.

"Y-, you! This is not how it looks like, by no means I'm doing something that I need to feel guilty about!"

That girl tilted her head a little with a puzzled face.

"Yes. This is a mission right desu? I thought that this might be the strategy that commander talked about yesterday desu, but... am I mistaken desu?"

'Eh... what?'

"Excuse me for my lateness desu. I am called Sylvia Silkcut. I was told by the commander to bring Hida-senpai to her desu."

She smiled in a friendly manner and bowed cutely.

He left Chidorigafuchi on that spot and was led away by Sylvia out to the street. There, a large limousine was stopping at the roadside.

The door was opened by Sylvia and he boarded the car as he was told.

"Kizuna, sorry to be sudden like this."

"Nee-chan!?"

After Sylvia also got in, the car started to move without sound.

Kizuna stared at his sister sitting in front of him in a glare.

"There is a lot of things I want to ask Nee-chan."

"What a coincidence. There is also a lot that I want to talk with you. But, I think it's fine to do that after we arrive, first let's finish the small chores."

From her bosom, Reiri took out an appliance that looked like a small communication device.

"I'm giving this to you."

At a glance, the thing looked like a smart phone's show model.

He recognized this thing... now that he thought back, the students here were all using this.

"That also doubles as a student's identification card, a communication device exclusive for Ataraxia. From all sorts of contact methods, schedule, attendance and grades, health condition and the likes, everything is managed by that device."

When Kizuna touched the screen, an interface he had never seen before was booted up.

"Heee... this is cool."

"Yours is specially made, there is an Amaterasu icon there correct? Try to start up that application."

Kizuna did as he was told and tapped Amaterasu's mark that was designed as wings and heart mark. Thereupon, the names of Aine and the others, and all sorts of parameters were displayed.

"What is this? From height and weight... even the three sizes are shown here!? Isn't this personal information?"

"That's why no one but you can see it."

'Aah, is that so... no, isn't that also no good?'

"From basic specs until their vital sign and current location, all of those are being monitored in real time. There is an item named Hybrid Count there right?"

There was a graph signed with a heart mark there.

"That's the remaining energy of the Heart Hybrid Gear. Do Heart Hybrid before the gauge enters the yellow zone."

Yellow zone was starting from 25%, and under 10% was the red zone.

"When the energy remaining is less than 5%, it will become hard to even maintain the Heart Hybrid Gear. Pay careful attention so that the energy won't get lower than that. Understand?"

"Just wait a second! About that story, since yesterday it's just full of things that I don't get. Just what in the world is happening, explain it to me so I can understand a little bit more!"

Reiri took out a juice from the car's mini-bar, then she offered it to Kizuna and Sylvia.

"The detailed explanation will be after we arrive."

Kizuna felt a little dissatisfied having the explanation delayed, but he obediently consented.

He believed that now Reiri had said that, she would surely give him an explanation later. Reiri had never failed to keep her promise to Kizuna.

"Rather than that, I'll introduce Sylvia to you once more. She is a transfer student from Britain, Sylvia Silkcut."

"Britain?"

Research and development of Heart Hybrid Gear was also conducted outside Japan, but most of them came from the technology gifted by Ataraxia. And so promising human resources from all over the world came to this Ataraxia.

Although, that was the story before the Second Another Universe Conflict occurred.

He guessed that Silvia too arrived in this Ataraxia before that time.

"She is a first year of middle school, but she is an extremely excellent personnel. From today on, she will work as your subordinate."

"Subordinate!?"

"Please take care of me, Captain!"

"Captain!?"

"Yes! Sylvia is Kizuna-senpai's subordinate. I was assigned with formal appointment to this position. That's why, Kizuna-senpai is Sylvia's captain desu."

"Ne, Nee-chan, a subordinate for me, what is the meaning of this?"

"I don't mind whether you make her help you for your daily life or whatever. It's fine for you to order her for any kind of business. She is your first subordinate. Be affectionate to her."

Be affectionate!?

"No matter how you look at it, isn't that a crime!?"

"...What are you thinking inside your brain?"
