Epilogue: Shidou, I—
Part 1
The night with a storm blowing turned dawn, and it became the next day.
Shidou and the group had departed from the hotel were looking at the mowed-down trees from the bus' window while moving towards the airport in order to go back to Tenguu city.
After the students listened to some important reminders and Checked-In their luggage, The students were told to stand-by at the lobby while waiting for their airplane to take off. Although they should have bought enough stuff already, they either went scavenging in the sale spaces or were smacking their lips in the Airport's food court gourmet.
As expected from high school students. They were high school student in the midst of their youth. Even though they were completely playing around the beach yesterday, it would seem they still have stamina left.
Shidou sitting on the lobby's chair completely exhausted while, haha.......making a powerless smile.
"Iyaaah, everything ended in a flash"
And, right beside Shidou, Tonomachi who for some reason had a sunburn only from his neck to his head said that while cheerfully smiling.
"aah….... yeah I guess"
Shidou replied back like a completely withered old tree.
Last night, after manifesting
Well, if this is the price to pay for swinging the [Angel]'s power which is excessive for the human body, and, if this is the price to pay for saving both Kaguya and Yuzuru then, it might be something cheap.
"Even if I say this, I didn't get much of that school trip feeling......... "
He said that and made a sigh. In the end, because he was dragged into various troubles, he didn't join much of the group activities.
"Ahh Ahh, what's with you, making such a tired face. You weren't in the room last night right? Where did you go, ah? Until you are this tired, who and what type of perverted acts did you do with?"
Tonomachi asked while *Fuun**fuun* his breathing turns wild. Shidou sighed as if he given up.
"Why are perverted things assumed…....... "
"Well that's, when a healthy high school male disappears in the night of a school trip and said nothing happened, people that would believe that would either be a saint, idiot or Tohka-chan right. So? Who is it? Tohka-chan…....................... I guess no. Since she
was filled with energy. Is it that? Did your soul get exhausted after being the Yamai sister's partner both of them in one go? Perfect, I can't see them"
"aah.... well, in a way"
Shidou made a wry smile.
Yes. It's true, starting from the time they came out from the hotel, Kaguya and Yuzuru figures were not there.
After that incident, both of them were transported to the
Conveniently, both of them were treated as transfer students but........... it was still
unsure whether they will be continuing attendance at Shidou's school after this.
Even if he says that, the reconciled twin's mental state is by far the most stable compared to the Spirit's until now, the day where both of them lined together walking in town, probably wouldn't be far.
When Shidou was thinking things like that, Tonomachi moved his face closer without hesitation.
"Oi, what is with that unclear excuse. Or is it that? As I thought, is it Tobiichi whose figure can't be seen now? What kind of intense hard play did you do"
"Origami...huh"
Shidou scratched his cheeks while answering.
Origami figure was also not seen from the time they came out of the hotel this morning.
From what he heard from Reine, after waiting for the storm to stop, she was transported to a nearby hospital and might be late returning back to Tenguu city.
It would seem she has received an attack from the
And, during the time Tonomachi was trying to question him more, he heard Tama- chan sensei's voice coming from far away.
"Haaaai~! Everyone, it's almost time, please gather up!" "Oh it's already that time"
"Kuh, Oi Itsuka, I will properly hear what you have to say later!"
Tonomachi said that with an exaggerated gesture. Somehow, he reminds Shidou of a villain that was always beaten weekly shouting [Remember this!].
"Well then….... "
And, after Shidou managed to stand up by inserting some energy inside his staggering leg, and as if to match up with that, *step**step* he heard such footsteps.
"Shidou! I bought a lot of snacks!"
Tohka said that, and was holding a bag from the souvenir shop with both hands, while running towards him smiling.
Even though she was part of the huge fight from yesterday, she was 100 times as energetic and was in full power.
"Wait a sec; don't you think you bought too much?"
"There is no such thing! Look, it's a limited flavoured Chupa Chups. Kotori will be happy too!"
When she made a smile with no worries and was happy to the bottom of her heart, he couldn't say anything anymore. After Shidou *pon**pon* patted his head, he slowly walked over to the assembly spot.
"Hai Hai, has everyone gathered? Well then, we will be boarding the airplane now so, please line up in order"
Tama-chan sensei was overlooking the students that were assembled at the lobby while echoing her voice.
The students were noisy because they were reluctant for the school trip to end while, lining up to the seat arrangements that were made beforehand.
"Shidou, is it okay if I sit beside the window going back?"
And, Tohka said that while making her eyes glitter. She was probably still regretting letting Origami take the airplane's window side seat when they were coming.
Well, it seems Origami is in the hospital now, so he doesn't mind if it's that much. "aah, I don't-------------- "
" I will not accept that"
"heh?"
Towards the voice that echoed as if to block Shidou's words, he released a disarrayed voice.
When he looked behind, over there was Origami using crutches while having bandages wrapped around her body.
"O,Origami!? Why are you here!? Forget that, is your injury…........ okay!?"
"No problem"
After Origami said that calmly, she snuggled up to Shidou's side. "! Wh,why you, get away! What's with you suddenly appearing!"
"The seat should have already been decided. The window seat is mine. You can enjoy looking at the pathway"
"No fair! Going back, I will sit the window seat! I will be seeing the scenery together with Shidou!"
Tohka and Origami sandwiched Shidou and started fighting. Each time, Shidou's body which was being tortured by muscle aches, was being shaken about.
"Wai, wait a second......! Calm down both of you! Use a more peaceful...…I know, how about deciding it using rock-paper-scissors?"
"Mu........that one that decides the winner with three different hand shapes huh. I don't mind but...…"
"If Shidou says it then I have no objection"
When Origami quietly replied, Tohka's sights became sharp and she griped her right hand.
"Okay. Let's end this. Jyaan ken pon[5F 1]!"
At the same time with their voice, Tohka and Origami brought their hands forward at the same time.
---but, at that moment Shidou felt something out of place.
It was very simple. The hands that were brought out on that spot, had two extras. "eh ?"
Tohka went guh. Origami also went guh. And, the hands that were coming out from their sides, both of were showing paper.
rock scissors
"Kuku...….although the black magic sPtaopnere and the heaven splitting twin swords is out rivaled but, it losses to the amulet of crushing evil"
"Declaration. It's Yuzuru and Kaguya's win. Yuzuru and Kaguya will be having both seats beside Shidou"
"Kaguya----- Yuzuru!?"
Shidou looked at the owners of paper who released their voices, and released a shocked voice.
Yes. Over there was, Kaguya and Yuzuru who was supposed to be under
And behind them was, Reine with her head wobbling around. After he looked over to her as if to ask a question; she slowly walked over to him and started talking in a low tone.
"...…..it's because they told me, they really wanted to ride the plane with Shidou. Their condition seems to be stable, and since it's not a good thing to recklessly give them stress, a special permit was given. The regular examinations will be done when we go back to Tenguu city"
"N-no, I don't mind about that......... "
At that moment, the winners who are Kaguya and Yuzuru, linked their arms with both of Shidou's arms.
"Kuku…..... Shidou think of this as an honor. At first we think of you as nothing
but an offering to our duel but------we unexpectedly took a liking to you"
"Affection. Yuzuru too. However, Yuzuru does not want to fight with the reconciled Kaguya"
"So, at that point. Shidou, it is decided you will be me and Yuzuru's shared property" "Agree. So that's the case. We will give you love appropriately"
"Ha..... haah!?"
When Shidou unbearably shouted, Tohka and Origami frowned their eyebrows and glared at him.
"Shidou, what does this mean? As expected, did something happened when both of them got naked?"
"Naked? What's with that. I request an explanation" "No, that's"
When Shidou was having trouble with answering, Kaguya and Yuzuru who was securing both his sides, *fufun* made a sound with their nose.
"Kuku…....... sorry about this Tohka. But if you are my clansman then be very
proud of yourself. That's because, you were able to give an offering to me"
"Discipline. Master Origami. Thank you for everything. Yuzuru will protect master's teaching and move on"
After both of them said that, Tohka and Origami respectively took both of Shidou's legs.
"Don't screw with me! I won't hand over Shidou!" "Don't suddenly appear and say things as you please"
"Kuku......…nice bravery! To challenge us the Yamai sisters!"
"Challenge accepted. Yuzuru and Kaguya will take both of you on. Take a good look at Yuzuru and Kaguya's combination"
After saying that, four of them from four sides, started pulling each of Shidou's limbs.
"Wai.......... wait!"
After using
Part 2
The sound of her heart beating was awfully loud.
Kotori made a small wry smile while making shoe noises in the wide corridor. Although Kotori was the only one in this wide space but--------------------- as expected, she was
probably a little nervous. Even though she came to such a place many times already, but it seems she can't get quite use to it.
Kotori was in her usual crimson military uniform but, she did not place the jacket on her shoulders and was properly wearing it in the sleeves with the shirt buttoned into place. Naturally, she was not eating any candy in her mouth. If the
After Kotori stopped her legs in front of the door, *suu* she took a deep breath. And then *knock**knock*, she knocked on it.
"Itsuka Kotori, has arrived" ""------ enter""
"Yes"
After Kotori replied shortly, she opened the door and entered the room.
The inside of the room looked like a library. The four sides of the room were covered with bookshelves and have leather covered books stored on it. She does not know the full details of it. That was only normal, since the books that were opened on the desk didn't only have letters written on it but rather in exchange, it had Braille lined up in it.
And in the deepest part of the room, that man was there. "It's been a long time, Commander Itsuka"
While saying that, he turned his chair around and turned his face towards Kotori.
He has an almost white beard and hair, and sweet-looking eyes. His age should be around 50 years and above. His age alone was somewhat not enough to call him an
old man but, he feels like a good-natured old man. Rounds chairman, Elliot Woodman.
He is
Kotori gathered her heels together and made a beautiful bow.
"It looks like you have been quite amazing lately. The others from the round table were shocked"
"That's because being shocked is part of their job"
When Kotori said that, Woodman made a laugh pleasantly.
"Well, don't say that. They are they, and are capable people needed for
"No. I think I should be the one apologizing to make you do something that reckless"
After he said that, he stroked his beard while continuing to talk in a quiet tone. "........... by the way, I received a report just now"
"Report?"
"Aah. It would appears
She has already received that report. [Yes] she tilted her head to the front. "I heard. But, Kannazuki is in the ship. So there shouldn't be a problem"
"I guess you're right....... putting it in another way, the problem is the other one"
"And, what do you mean"
When Kotori asked, Woodman showed slight hesitation before saying it out. ".......it would seems, your brother has manifested an Angel" " !"
Hearing those words, Kotori twitched her eyebrows.
She drank down her saliva, and placed her hands on her chest as if to suppress the heartbeat that had turned wild, she rearranged her breathing before replying.
"I, see-------- Already"
"Ahh. Most likely, sealing your Reiryoku again was the trigger" " uh"
She unintentionally clenched her teeth. Probably noticing Kotori's state, Woodman distorted his face apologetically.
"......…if anything happens, we might be urged to deal with it appropriately. If not, the Spirits that have their Reiryoku sealed away would, again bring forth disaster"
"Acknowledged….... "
When Kotori quietly closed her eyes partly, Woodman released his voice as if he was groaning.
"...…I'm sorry to have pushed such a detestable role to you"
"No, there is no choice........ from now on, if the worst case happened"
And then, Kotori made a small nod before releasing her words.
"----- I will kill Shidou"
