“So, sorry…! Sorry, Ryuzaki, but, I…! I will talk, with Suou and…!”

“It, it’s a lie…? Such a thing, Suou, even a single word was…”

“It’s me, me! Everyone, it’s been a long time…!”

“T’s a human child.”

 

Pharaoh, speaking of Pharaoh, it is an embalmed monster, the so-called mummy. His whole body was cladded in luxurious ornaments, his face was covered by a golden mask, in his hands was an Egyptian cross props called ankh.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Yup. Suou and others treated me well.”

 

“I don’t mean that it’s wrong or anything, but…”

Goubayas.h.i.+ muttered while crossing his arms. Harao also nodded. Those guys intended to nail this side down in this place no at all costs. Kogane was confused by receiving the new information called Was.h.i.+o’s death. As a result, he was trying to concentrate on only the part that had been a.s.signed to him by Suou in the beginning.

However, the fact that he wasn’t informed of Kogane’s death was unnatural. If Kogane came in contact with this side, the truth would immediately be exposed. So the act of coming in contact with this side should have been taboo if Suou were trying to hide Was.h.i.+o’s death from Kogane.

 

“In other words, Harao is praying for Was.h.i.+o’s soul to rest peacefully.”

Akai still with her arms crossed, glared at Kogane once and said in a cold tone.

“Was.h.i.+o wast mine friend. I who wast isolated in the cla.s.s wast taught the commoners’s ways of having fun by that man. Karaoke, bowling…. In order to repay his friends.h.i.+p, I hath paid for everything with mine money.”

“Was.h.i.+o?”

The old castle that was visible from the branch school was becoming considerably bigger. The place where they saw the hydra’s appearance should be around this area, but that sound in the bushes was too small to be from the hydra. Is it some kind of magical beast like Forest Wolf or something? This pattern is no good, there’s the possibility that it is the p.a.w.ns of the blood clan or something.

“I don’t know what Suou has inspired you with, but Kogane should say what you want to say first.”

At that time, Kogane gave forth words with obviously different atmosphere from until then.

 

Pointing at the shadow in the back of the bushes, Harao said. Are you different? All those present swallowed that retort.

 

“But we cannot afford to have Akai leave the branch school for too long.”

 

Kogane while glancing at Akai continued the story. He seemed a little awkward.

 

 

Probably Kogane had been persuaded by that guy Suou. There would be no doubt about that. If thinking that the blood clan were trying to supplying the students of 2nd year cla.s.s 4 as war potential, the plan of trying to contact through Kogane also wasn’t something difficult to imagine.

 

Looking at Harao the Pharaoh walking silently, Nekomiya muttered.

 

 

Looking at the appearance of the high elf who was smiling care-freely, Goubayas.h.i.+ narrowed his eyes without saying anything, Harao and Nekomiya had an appearance like they didn’t know what kind of att.i.tude they should take. Akai crossed her arms in a place a little away and didn’t show any emotion.

 

“He was thinking that he

cannot detain Kogane if he said it, isn’t he? With that condition, I guess you have also heard that I betrayed the King.”

“The hydra should be ahead.”

Blade of wind cut through the air and violently attacked from behind. Ryuzaki barely reacted in time to cover for Nekomiya who had the lowest defensive power among them. When he made sure to hold the black cat and rolled over the bushes, 『Ni~yaa~!?』, he heard a scream.

“I don’t want to say this and that about the deceased, but perhaps he was just sponging off you.”

Said Ryuzaki while advancing by parting the bushes.

 

 

“Wa–wait…! Wait, Ryuzaki, I … I, errr, still…!”

“One of mine friends hadst been guided to rest in the Nile River by the law of morning and night…. Thus I, cannot afford to keep snoring in our coffin…”

 

“It’s true. Was.h.i.+o is dead. We also did a funeral.”

Just at that time, hooves sound echoed like pus.h.i.+ng its way through the bushes.

 

 

 

 

 

“…Eh?”

“Was.h.i.+o is dead.”

∗Gasa∗, making rustling sound, the bushes shook. All present stopped their feet.

 

Episode 40 — Want to Be One

Harao, from the time as humans, was a person with a lazy character and was often seen sound asleep. It was said that he even slept while walking when sightseeing the city during the school trip. Harao’s popularity wasn’t very good with the teachers due to his much too unserious att.i.tude in the cla.s.sroom, but with the reason that the grades of the person himself never dropped below a certain level and everyone of his relatives were either the town’s celebrity or big-shot in the political economic world so there were many parts that they were complicit in.

 

 

“Ryu–Ryuzaki … is that true…?”

 

“What, is it wrong? I thought I told you. It’s to show sincerity.”

 

 

 

Goubayas.h.i.+, Harao and others also silently showed their consent. Ryuzaki turned his back to Kogane.

Nonetheless, this was Akai who could easily bury a p.a.w.n even with just less than half of her power. If putting together the her strength with Ryuzaki, Goubayas.h.i.+ and others, it wouldn’t take so long to bring down the hydra.

“There is a possibility that the hydra itself was a trap to lure us out.”

 

 

“My bad, Kogane. We have to hurry back to the branch school. This story more properly…”

“Kogane…!?”

Kogane had yet to break his foolish smile. He probably couldn’t understood Akai’s words.

Although Was.h.i.+o was a frivolous person, but it was a completely surprising story that his connections even reached up to Harao.

Suou, that word felt familiar. It could be seen that Nekomiya’s body had stiffened. Suou the Knight. He was a member of the blood clan that had once come in contact with her, Kyousuke and Rin. Certainly, his name was «Suou Takafumi». According to Akai’s story, he was a high school student same as themselves.

“I wanted to convey the story to everyone properly. Since there’s Ryuzaki the story will be quick, Suou and his group aren’t bad guys…”

When he looked back, Kogane had an expression like he was scare of something and stretched out his right arm. His whole body was wrapped up in light green light, and parts of his body and clothes changed like wind visualized. It was an ability that he didn’t show before being kidnapped. When looking at Akai’s direction, she nodded with a displeased face. It’s Phase 2. Moreover, he probably drew a considerably powerful thing.

a.s.suming so, then the enemy’s purpose was to split their war potential.

As the representative, Ryuzaki spoke.

Ryuzaki was convinced. This guy didn’t know that Was.h.i.+o had died. The one who directly laid her hands on Was.h.i.+o was that woman Bishop Akeno but it was unlikely that it wasn’t conveyed to Suou. Suou intentionally hid it from Kogane.

 

Kogane desperately tried to detained this side while showing confusion and dismay. However, the room to listen to his story is———,

 

Ryuzaki nodded to Nekomiya’s words. The enemy’s plan was probably to attract this side main war potential by using the hydra and Kogane, during that time, Suou or Akeno, or possibly both of them would come in contact with the branch school. In that case, they had no time to waste at this place.

“As for me, Asuka following us is more surprising though…”

“Do you know about Was.h.i.+o?”

 

As Kogane attempted to say, he shut his mouth. His gaze turned toward one member over here.

Suddenly stopping and looking up at the sky, Harao’s speech and conduct was too dyed too thick a character that their understanding couldn’t keep up. Akai sighed and looked at the surroundings like being bored. The sailor uniform seemed too light equipment for walking inside the forest, but the person herself didn’t show any sign of caring about it.

“No problem. I enjoyed it. T’s n.o.blesse oblige.”

Crumbled buildings were scattering here and there. Plants, including trees, were growing, breaking through floorboards and walls that seemed likely to be stone, making one felt the essential strength of life. Occasionally they caught sight of big bugs or snakes, but students who would raise a cute scream didn’t exist among these 5.

 

Since Harao who was like that said it himself that he would cooperate in the hydra extermination, even others beside Nekomiya would also be surprised.

～ Part 1 ～

 

The one who informed him of that was Akai.

 

 

 

“What happened with Was.h.i.+o? Speaking of which, I have to apologize to that guy too. Is he doing well?”

∗Gasagasa∗, looking at the boy who showed his figure from the moving bushes, they were wide-eyed in surprised.

 

 

“Yo–you, why are you here…. Have you been safe up until now…?”

 

“Shall I say it once more. Was.h.i.+o is dead. He fought with Akeno. Kogane, have you not heard?”

Kogane asked Ryuzaki with an entreating look. Ryuzaki closed his eyes, breathed in heavily and nodded.

 

“……!!”

If Suou had intentionally sent Kogane over here, then his purpose wasn’t to persuade this side.

Simultaneously, there was breaking sound, slimy scales pushed down the trees and started surrounding Ryuzaki group.

“Eh, ummm…”

 

Goubayas.h.i.+ who was walking in the lead forcibly concluded with words that seem like an avid Buddhist.

“《Wind Cutter》!”

“That voice, Ryuzaki … it’s Ryuzaki after all!?”

 

 

“Yeah, ummm…. Yes, Suou, is not a bad guy. They came from the same world as us, so, that is, there was just an unfortunate crossing with each others, but I think we can cooperate…”

 

 

“Ryuzaki…!”

“Who’s there?”

Goubayas.h.i.+ said with his arms crossed. Startled, Kogane’s shoulders trembled. He couldn’t lie.

“———《Possessed Sylph》!”

It’s as Goubayas.h.i.+ had said. What was required of Akai wasn’t just the role of being a combat personnel. Her presence also had the meaning of keeping in check the Blood of Red Moon’s attacks. They brought her this time since it was Akai’s wish herself, but contact personnel with fast feet was waiting on standby at the branch school just in case.

“Such a…. Eh, but, Was.h.i.+o…. Eh…?”

“It was really a trap then.”

 

 

“Ahh, we should leave the hydra extermination for later.”

“Don’t worry about me.”

“The hydra?”

The one who should have been imprisoned by the blood clan, Kogane Yos.h.i.+ki. Why is he here? Ryuzaki also got confuse first before feeling relieved.

 

“A–Akai…”

Whether she didn’t want to talk about that too much, Akai responded in a bad mood. Ryuzaki smiled bitterly.

 

Ryuzaki took a glance at Akai’s direction.

The war potential of the heavy cruiser branch school was almost empty at the moment. If they received an attack of a Knight or Bishop, they would received devastating damage. At least, they had to sent Akai back to the heavy cruiser even if it as just her alone.

“Look like we better hurry up.”

 

“Akaiii! Is Akai’s here!!”

“For me, it’s more surprising that Harao has that much fellows.h.i.+p feelings with our cla.s.smate.”

When asked with a slightly th.o.r.n.y tone, Kogane tilted his head.

“However, Harao really came.”
