However——. – Guuh…! Hien was faster and went through the abdomen of Serivia. But, that doesn’t mean it’s the end with that. He can’t let her explode here. Hayato accelerates with his eyes shining more intensely. – Uooooooooo———! And along with Serivia, he plunged forward into the space-time gate. 『Kisaragi Hayato! What comes is just the final blow』 – Roger! There’s not even a single shining star, it’s a pitch-dark world. Hayato who went into the space-time gate pulled out Hien from the body of Serivia. – Ack…! The body of Serivia shook in the air. Blood overflows from her mouth. Still, of course, he can’t go easy on her. – This is the end———! Page|91 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
Hayato has Hien and the white blade he created with the Hundred of Emilia ——. He raised overhead the two swords greatly. – Guu…! Serivia stretches out her hands towards the imminent two swords and tries to deploy a barrier fast but she doesn’t make it in time. – Uooooooooooo————! The black and white swords which are emitting particles mixed with 3 colors of energy slash at the giant Serivia. (With this I can be a hero——and be everyone’s expectations——) Hayato was convinced of the success of the strategy——of the victory with both arms. – … you’re kidding… However, Serivia muttered so. The light from the dashed lines drawn by the two swords are——. An enormous amount of energy is overflowing. The rest of the words were heard directly in his head. 『This kind of thing can’t… be. You’re just tools… to the earthlings, I’m their parent——their God… and defeating and winning against me is…!』 Page|92 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
– Don’t say such stupid things. The one who said so was Liza as she formed her own body with the particles of energy scattered around and appeared there. Page|93 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
Page|94 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
She throws cold words to Serivia. – In the end, you aren’t a real God, you know? You’re just a fake God who imitated the God of Planet Notre Dame as a reference——such things should be known very well by you after all. 『That’s…』 – Besides, have you even prayed to a real God, I wonder? “I want to return to my planet of origin——” 『But, it didn’t respond! That’s why I became God!』 – God doesn’t become himself, nor does he reveal himself as such. This may be a punishment from a real God to you who have been pretending to be God himself. Saying that, Liza hugged the body of Hayato. – … Liza… – The time has come——. Protect me, Kisaragi Hayato. Turning into golden particles, Liza covers the body of Hayato. 『Farewell, fake God——I give you my thanks as one of the people of the Earth. Thank you for raising us up to now』 The words that Liza spoke at the end. Are towards Serivia——. Page|95 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
Words of gratitude towards the fake God. – Ah, AAAAAAAAAAA————! Finally, the limit has come. And it’s not only from the dashed lines drawn by the two swords of Hayato. From all over her body the energy is overflowing. The passage is gradually stretching——. Serivia made a big explosion inside the space-time gate. ※※※ – … Hayato… – … Liza… The light leaking out from the space-time gate was also reflected in the pupils of Emilia and Claire. However, it ends up disappearing soon. It’s because the space-time gate ended up being blown off by the giant explosion of the energy of Serivia. Now, what they can see is only a rain of energy that falls like falling stars, scattering into the void of space——. Page|96 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
– … – … Emilia and Claire are in the place where Hayato and Liza disappeared——. They continued just fixedly staring at the spectacle that resembled to fireworks after being launched. What continues is a moment of silence. It was Emilia who shouted as if to break so. – … Hayato…! In response to that voice, Claire asks promptly. – What is it, Emilia Hermit!? Could you see the appearance of Kisaragi Hayato mashitano? – No, that’s not it. Emilia replied, shaking her head. – I heard the voice of Hayato. The prez didn’t hear it? – … eh? Being told so, Claire listens carefully. 『Emilia, can you hear me?』 Then, she heard a voice. Page|97 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
That voice unmistakably belongs to Hayato. Emilia raises her voice once more. – Yeah, I hear it properly! The voice of Hayato! Subsequently, Claire gave a happy voice as well. – Certainly, I also heard him mashitawa! The voice she hears next. 『… I wonder if you can you hear me, Claire?』 Claire instinctively recognized that that’s the voice of Liza——her little sister, she opened her eyes wide and raised her voice towards the completedark space. – Liza! Where are you masuno!? However, Liza doesn’t respond to that question. She just continues talking, unilaterally. 『This voice is only a small residue of energy that I sent flying to the other side just before the space-time gate was blown off. In this way, all I can do is to place my voice in it. I can’t talk so much. So, only a couple of words—— we’re safe. We’re alive. We’ll absolutely come back to the Earth together. Believe that, and you, do what you have to do——』 – I, understand mashitawa… Wiping the tears that fall from her eyes, Claire answers. Page|98 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
When they come back, they aren’t going to be ashamed of her. Claire tells herself that that’s what she ought to do. What they heard next was the voice of Hayato. 『What I want to tell is something that I share with Liza. We’ll absolutely come back. It’s a promise. That’s why, Emilia. Until then. please take care of Karen and everyone of Yamato——』 – … okay, I’ll do it. Leave it to me. I will definitely protect everyone instead of Hayato. So—— Because of the sobbing, it was impossible to speak beyond that. Emilia stared at the empty space and calls Hayato from the bottom of her heart. So, Hayato. You will absolutely come back to me (Boku)——. Come back to me (Watashi). Because I absolutely hate saying goodbye like this. – ——it’s a promise then. The last few words, she murmured what was conveying. Page|99 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
A communication enters there. It’s from Charlotte. 『… Emilia? Can you hear me, Emilia? What happened to Hayato-kun? Would you inform me about the situation?』 But Emilia didn’t reply. ——Nor Claire. In the first place, the voice of Charlotte seemed to get Erika even if it didn’t reach the other two. They are just fixedly staring at the place where the space-time gate had been until a while ago. – I am sorry, Dr. Charlotte. She’s not in a situation where she can talk now. That also applies to Claire-sama. Because of that, I will inform you instead. Erika replied instead of Emilia. – If so, then also tell us what happened, please. Erika was surprised with the voice that suddenly reached her. Nesat too, she was next to Erika. The two immediately turn their eyes towards the direction of that voice. – Fritz Grantz… and Latia Saint-Émillion… and also—— Wendy and Aly——. Page|100 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
Even though everyone who lost consciousness there still had a lot of damage on their bodies, they were standing up though staggering, including Touka. Opening her eyes wide at the other side of the glasses, Erika spilled words as if muttering. – … why, is everyone…? – Somehow, my body got hot and all of a sudden, I was able to move. Nesat, who heard the answer of Latia, murmured while looking at her body. – … now that you mention it, I also feel a little restored… is this perhaps… Nesat, whose eyes are pointed high in the space, continues her words while catching the rain of light with the palms of both hands. – … is this perhaps thanks to this rain of light…? – Maybe, that’s the case? Erika looked up high in the space as well and confirmed the state of the other Slayers. Certainly it’s a little, but their vital and energy seem to be recovered. – Us alone won’t get to comprehend that, that’s why we also——it hurts! Fritz, who tried to demand an explanation towards Erika and Nesat, presses down the injured arm in the middle of his words and crouches. Becoming disconcerted, Latia asked looking worried, supporting the body of Fritz. Page|101 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
– Hey, Fritz, are you okay? – Sorry, it just hurt a bit… – … good grief, the small injuries have vanished, but the big injury remains the same. Be careful. – I know that. Fritz, who answered so, continued his words, turning his line of sight to Erika while enduring the pain. – I ask for an explanation, vice president. 『I also ask for an explanation』 It was Charlotte who said so after Fritz. – … understood. Replying, Erika starts to explain. – Frankly, I don’t feel like I can explain everything well… Although that’s the introduction, Erika tells that Kisaragi Hayato and Liza Harvey pushed Serivia into the space-time gate and defeated her. As the explosion when they did so blow away the space-time gate, she also tells them that Kisaragi Hayato and Liza Harvey ended becoming missing. – Then, what are they going to do? At this rate, won’t they be unable to come back!? The conversation reached a stopping place. Page|102 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
Latia asked as if pressing Erika for an answer. – Well, that’s… 『I can’t say anything yet, for now』 After she took a fleeting glance to Claire and Emilia who still looked up at the emptiness without moving. Charlotte was the one who threw a lifeboat to Erika who was wondering how she should answer. 『However they are safe now, both Hayato and Liza were saying that they will definitely come back. We have no choice but to believe those words』 – … is that so…? Latia dropped her shoulders. – As for us, there’s nothing we can do, huh… 『… but we’re not going to stand here doing nothing while waiting for them to come back. Because I am me, I intend to search them. Because a big spacetime gate was opened, the surroundings of the space-time are becoming unstable. Several new space-time gates are opening, so there’s a possibility that more Savages that can be confirmed now are going to attack, meaning there’s also a possibility of being able to recover Hayato-kun』 『Oh, that’s how it is!』 Chris raised his voice unintentionally. Page|103 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
『Certainly, that might be possible!』 Following him, Mei Mei also raises her voice. 『Yes! Let’s do it』 『… as for the ones who grasp the situation of the Savages, let’s leave it to the groups of the intelligence department who are in Little Garden and Lunaltia Base and to the guys of Warslan. However, and tentatively, please send me a report if a match with more than 10% is found with the energy pattern that Kisaragi Hayato and Liza Harvey are giving. When you do so, hide the names of those two… do you understand, Chris, Mei Mei? Even though there are persons who are aware of who that energy belongs to, please tell them that they must never let their names come out. It’s a secret matter of high grade』 The people who understand it may understand it. However, it’s a measure to avoid such a matter leaking out or making a fuss of it. It’s possible that the turmoil spreads out, affecting the morale of the troops, and also because there are people who must be reported so before it becomes a rumor. At any rate, even Kisaragi Karen, his little sister, hasn’t been told about Hayato yet. 『Understood』 『Understood!』 Chris and Mei Mei replied all together. Page|104 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
『The last thing is… oh right. You guys, come back to Little Garden section to take a rest for a moment. We’ll judge by seeing the situation that is yet to come whether you’ll participate in the battle against the Savages from now on or not. That’s all. Start to move, everyone』 After she said so. By letting pass a few seconds, Charlotte continued her words. 『——You too, Claire and Emilia』 ※※※ After she gave instructions to the Slayers of Little Garden who finished the fight with Serivia. Charlotte, along with Mei Mei and Chris, began the search of the energy of Kisaragi Hayato and Liza Harvey. (However, it’s a troublesome thing…) Most of them are noises, they are too numerous. The Savages who were at the other side of the space-time gate that was blown off, are also looking for an exit somewhere. Due to the massive energy reaction, it was extremely difficult to search the energy of the two people. Page|105 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
There are hundreds of numbers, the energy responses become stronger over time. That’s a nuisance that it can’t be helped. (At times like this, If Vitaly was here…) Charlotte ends up putting that into words as if involuntarily complaining about it. If it’s Vitaly, she thought that she might be able to figure out how to find the energy of Kisaragi Hayato and Liza Harvey and rescue them faster than herself by making free use of brain computing. But unless she speaks to her, and even if she tries to summon her, there’s no reaction. Vitaly continued being in permanent silence after she recovered the core system of Lunaltia Base. It seems to be a side effect as she used her brain beyond its limit. The busy situation continues so she can’t stop working to confirm her situation in detail, but she doesn’t know if she’s going to wake up again. Anyhow, given that her recovery is still indispensable, it didn’t seem that she’s able to borrow her power. Even if she’s alive now, if she puts even more burden on her, her brain will definitely stop functioning completely. The conclusion is that she must find them with just her own strength. Page|106 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
Charlotte continues searching desperately while spreading a lot of nets in outer space. Suddenly there, several large energy reactions emerged. (These are…!) The emergency alarm sounded, a single window opened on the monitor in front of her. It’s an emergency call from Chris. 『Charlotte-sama!』 The expression of Chris displayed on the monitor had a lot of panic. In response to that, Charlotte replied with a calm look. – I know. Space-time rifts appeared, right? 『As one would expect, you noticed them. Many space-time rifts have spring forth several tens of kilometers ahead in the space. IT seems that around 300 Savages have showed up through the gates. We have three hours until they reach Lunaltia Base——and we have confirmed hundreds of other small energy reactions』 – The first part is 300——and in 3 hours in addition to that, huh…. Got it. If their numbers have reached to that extent, then there’s no issue to call this as the Fourth Attack now, don’t you agree? Therefore, they—— 『… what is it?』 Page|107 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
– “They” are Emilia and Claire. If they are okay, then I’m thinking of get them fight at a more distant place rather than on the moon. 『Does that mean that they are going to fight in outer space?』 – I want them to knock down the Savages that have just appeared as much as they can. That makes it easier to find Hayato-kun and Liza. 『But the bodies and hearts of the two are damaged so…』 – Like I said, that’s only if they can fight. I’ll take care of that and confirm it after this. For the time being, prepare the Space Ride of Claire and the replacement Hundred of Emilia. After she finished saying so. Charlotte switched the line and decided to get in touch with Emilia and the others. ※※※ 『Do you hear my voice, Slayers?』 The Slayers of Little Garden who were gathered at a resting place inside the section and were standing by while having a meal or drinking tea, showed a nervous look when receiving the call of Charlotte. It’s because the call of Charlotte shows that, for some reason, the situation has progressed. Page|108 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
It’s Emilia who raised her voice before she issued the next words. – Did something happen to the search of Hayato, Charo!? Because there hasn’t been any information, it’s inevitable that she’s being anxious. 『… unfortunately, there’s no progress. The energy reactions of the Savages have become way stronger, making the search of the energy of Hayato-kun and Liza harder』 – That means that the Savages are getting closer, huh… 『We’re estimating that it will take them around 3 hours to approach Lunaltia Base. But I want you and Claire to sortie immediately』 – The prez and me? Why? Charlotte informed Emilia and Claire that she wanted them to defeat Savages as much as they can in outer space for the sake of the search of Hayato and Liza. The place she wanted them to head is the place where is the easiest for the Savages to appear——a place that is several tens of kilometers away from Lunaltia Base. Since there are going to be encounters with the Savages on the way to that point, it’s probable that more Savages may appear. 『What do you think? Will you do it?』 – Of course. Page|109 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
Emilia answered immediately. – I’ll defeat the Savages who’ll appear at once. If by doing so the chance of Hayato being found increases, then I’ll do so. 『Both your vital and energy are recovered to some extent, and if you say so, then you’ll perform that without fail』 – Which reminds me, do you have my Hundred? I gave mine to Hayato, so… 『That preparation is complete』 Replying, Charlotte continues. 『What about you, Claire?』 – Naturally, I will go masuwa. Standing up, Claire replied. – To help my little sister and important comrade. There’s no reason for me to not go, don’t you agree? Certainly, I will come out too masuwa. Claire recalls what Liza was saying. 『You do what you have to do——』 And that means to carry out Noblesse Oblige. 『I was thinking you would answer so. Your energy is also trending to recuperation. There’s no problem』 Page|110 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
Then, Charlotte informs them that she was preparing the Space Ride of Claire ahead of time. Emilia generates one using her Innocence type Hundred Arms Shroud, so preparation isn’t necessary. 『Well then, I entrust the rest to the two of you. The rest of you, please stand by for a little bit. The battle will be long. It’s already late at night, so it’s a good idea to keep sleeping even if it’s just a bit, so consider that from now on』 ※※※ Within five minutes, the preparation of the sortie of Claire was ready. When Emilia received the news, she went outside of the section and there she saw the figures of Mei Mei and Claire who equipped the Space Ride. It appears that Mei Mei helped her to wear the armor. – Well then, should I also prepare? – Yes, this is the new Hundred of Emilia-san. – Thanks, Mei Mei. Emilia shouted, grasping tightly the new Hundred she had just received. – ——HUNDRED ON! A bluish-white light wraps the whole body of Emilia. Page|111 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
And when it disappeared. The figure of Emilia with the same Space Ride was there. – Prez, follow me closely, okay? – Naturally desuwa. Claire replies with a smile full of confidence towards the provocation of Emilia. They nodded to one another, and when they tried to sortie. – Wait——I will go too. Emilia and Claire turn their line of sight to the direction of the voice. An eye-patched girl was standing there. It’s the figure of Nesat who just came out from inside the Little Garden section. – Nesat!? – Why, you? Emilia and Claire raise their voices unintentionally. – Because I can fight too. That was the answer of Nesat. Page|112 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
Touching with her hand as if stroking the eyepatch of her right eye, she continues her words. – Even if the armor isn’t prepared, I can duplicate it with this eye——with my Trace type Hundred Truth Eye. That’s why I can go with you. Since the weapons can be deployed at the same time, there won’t be problems. Because I’ve been practicing too. In other words, she’s saying that she wants to go to the battlefield with them. Understanding that, Emilia said with a cheerful voice. – Oh, I see! If so, then let’s go together. That’s fine, right prez? – I don’t have any issues, but… 『Me neither』 It was Charlotte who was hearing the conversation of the 3 who replied through the communication device. 『It would be way better even if one more person can go out. Do your best, Nesat-kun』 – … yeah, in that case… She opens the eyepatch. And by looking at the armor of Claire with the opened eye, Nesat muttered. – … Trace On… Page|113 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
Then, particles of golden energy overflow from the eye and create a Space Ride in the back of Nesat. – With this, the preparations of everyone are ready, isn’t it? Please be safe and take care. – Yeah. – … let’s go. Nesat and Emilia nod. – Well then, let’s go out masuwayo! Shouting, and following Claire who took off, Emilia and Nesat also took off into the outer space. ※※※ The moment when Claire, Emilia and Nesat, the three of them flew away to the locations of the Savages in outer space. Similarly as Little Garden section, in the section of the Kingdom of Gudenburg, the Slayers belonging to the army were carrying forward their preparations to fight with the Savages that drew near before their eyes. (… Is Emilia-sama alright, I wonder…?) Claudia has been concerned about that the whole time while wearing her Variable Suit in the changing space of the maintenance room. Page|114 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
The fact that the fight against Pope Serivia, the main culprit of the chaos in Lunaltia Base has ended, has already been reported from Kilfelthar, her superior officer. However, she hasn’t heard yet about the safety of the Slayers of Little Garden who have defeated Serivia. It seems that only rumors that say that someone suffered serious injured or that someone died are circulating. – Claudia… Claudia! – … eh? Ah, what is it? Being called twice, Claudia finally noticed that a voice was calling her out and turned around. Who was standing there is a female Slayer of Gudenburg. Her rank is captain just like Claudia, and she’s three years older than her—— A very, very serious girl with a beautiful short blonde hair and almondshaped eyes. Her name is Stella Ansecom. – I know that you are worried about Emilia-sama, but you are the only one who hasn’t finished changing clothes yet, you know. Right now, you and I are the same ——we are in a position that leads the Slayers, so we will be troubled if you don’t take it levelheadedly. – Ah—— Page|115 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
Claudia noticed with what she was told. Certainly, there are only two people, herself and Stella, in the changing space. – I-I am sorry. I will change my clothes immediately. You should go to the meeting place first! – … understood. Don’t make me wait too much, okay? Stella tries to leave the room after she fired those words so coldly. However, she looks back at the door and, – Claudia. – Yes? – You are worried about Emilia-sama, but you aren’t the only one, you know? But, everyone believes in her. Because she’s Emilia-sama after all. Leaving those words with her, Stella went out of the room. (Because she’s Emilia-sama after all, you say…) It was anger that was making her boil up at the same time she ruminates those words. (I know that! In comparison to Stella or anyone, I am the one who knows Emilia-sama the most!) Claudia, who finished changing clothes and pulled her self together, left the maintenance room and started walking towards the meeting place. Page|116 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
– ——err, what’s the meaning of this? Claudia stopped her feet without thinking at the same time she enters the briefing room that is the meeting place. It’s because it was quite boisterously noisy inside. Looking inside of it, the Slayers are gathering in one place, making something like a circle. (Really, what on earth is this?) While wondering, Claudia gets closer to that ring. It was quite cheerful and exciting. That being the case, she knows that they aren’t gathering for negative reasons. – You finally came, Claudia! It was Stella who spoke to her in the changing space of the maintenance room a while ago who came to her, approaching with an excited look when she spotted the figure of Claudia. – Umm, Stella. This is… While being confused by her attitude as if she was a complete different person till moments ago, Claudia asks her but, – Come on, follow me! Page|117 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
– Wait, Stella ——hey——! Stella pulls the hand of Claudia and drags her into the ring. And then——. – Look, look at this! A mid-air projector is placed on a table in front of her. The moment she saw the video it was playing. – That’s——! The expression of Claudia blossomed. It was because the figure of Emilia heading to the outer space wearing a Space Ride was displayed on it. She can also see the figures of Claire and Nesat wearing similar Space Rides. It seems they are heading to subjugate Savages. – Look, it’s like I said it, right? Emilia-sama is absolutely fine. – S-such a thing, of course I know it well! But—— Claudia once again turns her eyes to Emilia displayed on the image projected in the air. – As expected of her… Emilia-sama was really fine after all, huh… Wiping the tears that overflowed unexpectedly with her fingertips. Page|118 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
Claudia shouted full of spirit. – Everyone! We can’t lose to Emilia-sama! Let’s exterminate the Savages that have fallen on the moon’s surface! Who is with me!? Following the words of Claudia, the Slayers of Gudenburg raised their fists and gathered their voices with a「YEAH!」 Stella was looking at the situation with satisfaction. Page|119 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
Page|120 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
And thus, not only Emilia and the others are heading to outer space. The battle against the Savages on the surface of the moon was about to begin now as well. Page|121 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
Chapter 3 Fourth attack / The three Divas / The moon, the earth and the space – The fight has already begun not only beyond the clouds but also beyond the Earth—— The time is before dawn. The moment of the Savages approaching the Earth——. Ahead of the fourth large-scale Savage invasion in the history of mankind ——the Fourth Attack, the Savages who were sleeping soundly in unreachable areas and places where the earthlings had never stepped into, woke up and began to rampage, reacting to the strong energy released in outer space. Among them are 《UNKNOWNS》 —— Liddy informed the Slayers scattered throughout the world with her voice and image from the briefing room inside Little Garden about an information that arrived that says that there are types of Savages that the earthlings have never fought until now. – It’s very probable that 《UNKNOWN》 types of Savages are invading the Earth from space. Many of you are already experienced fighting against the Savages. However, never lose your focus! Page|122 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
On the monitor in front of them, the figure of the Slayers belonging to Little Garden who are already scattered and being in charge of their areas are shown. Everyone is listening to the words of Liddy and answered all together. Among them are Slayers belonging to Little Garden who are going to sortie at the same time after this ——those are the members of Selections who are standing by at the deck of the ship wearing their Variable Suits, commencing with the figures of Tsudura Mirai and Kurumi Sango and the freshmen of the Martial Arts Department Aila Ersvady and Isurugi Ryuuto——and the second-year students of the Martial Arts Department Ryu Shuemei and Noah Sheldon. – I suppose there are people who weren’t able to sleep that much, but please bear with it. Well then, everyone, execute operation! To not disgrace our fellowmen who are fighting on the moon, we are going to protect the Earth completely! Show the willpower and pride of the earthlings to the Savages! And after the battle, and when everyone returns to Little Garden, let’s have a victory party! ※※※ At that time, Sakura and Karen who are on the moon, were returning to the stage of the ceremony venue where the live concert was ongoing a few hours ago. Unlike that time, the stands are empty. Page|123 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
Most of the spectators have evacuated to the shelters and each one of the Slayers are stationing themselves for the fight against the Savages that is expected to occur. What is reflected in the eyes of Sakura who took a quick look at the stands from the wing of the stage are only the figures of the Slayers she became acquainted with, including Krovahn, Nakri, Latia and Erika. Those are the people gathered to guard the two Divas who will sing to attract the Savages in this place. That’s why everyone is wearing their Variable Suits and deploys their Hundred in case anything happens. … however, no more than a few hours have passed since the battle with Serivia. Although the Slayers are fast to heal their injuries, everyone is far from being completely recovered. Some of them have taken a rest in rooms and others entered in capsules adjusted to accelerate the recovery, but neither their vitals nor energies have recovered more than half. Still, they couldn’t stand doing nothing. There’s something they wanted to do. And so, they rushed to this place together with Slayers of Little Garden who are in this place and Slayers of other countries that protect the exterior of the Page|124 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
ceremony venue and suggested to guard Sakura and Karen who will attract the Savages just like the last few large-scale invasions. But Fritz who was seriously injured and Touka who’s not a Slayer weren’t able to come to this place. The right arm of Fritz was severely injured, so he’s not in a state where he can fight and Touka isn’t in a state where she can swing the sword normally either. They are receiving treatment by the medical team inside Little Garden section. – Are you alright, Karen-chan? Can you do it? Sakura sat down on one of the folding chairs placed on the wing of the stage and asked Karen who folded her arms as if supplicating, hanging her head without moving. All the things that happened in the fight against Serivia have already been told to them. Hayato, the older brother of Karen, disappeared inside the space-time gate together with Liza, the little sister of Claire and ended up getting missing. No more than just 2 hours ago the two of them heard that story from Charlotte. It was a measure to avoid being asked by those who shouldn’t know that yet, so they were called to the laboratory of Mei Mei. – That’s… Hayato-kun is… it’s a lie, right…!? The mind of Sakura who heard that story turned pure white. Page|125 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
Naturally, she can’t hide her commotion. – Say, Mei Mei. Is that true!? She asks that question, pressing Mei Mei for an answer, who was at her side. – … yes, it’s true. – No way… Sakura sat down and basked on the ground helplessly as if her strength came out from her whole body. The person who used to sustain her heart suddenly became missing——. Naturally, tears overflow too. But, she cannot afford to cry. Because there’s a person who’s bound to be sadder next to her. That girl is——. Comfort Kisaragi Karen who’s the little sister of Kisaragi Hayato, this is what she should do now. Telling herself to do so, Sakura stands up and turns her eyes towards Karen. She was considering that it’s an inevitable situation if she’s crying and sitting on the ground like she herself did a few seconds ago. But, that wasn’t so. Page|126 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
Karen was loudly bursting into laughter while drops of tears float in her eyes. – Ahah, ahahahah… – Karen, chan? She at least thought that she ended up broken due to that level of shock. But, that’s not so either. – Is that so? For Nii-san to do such a thing…I feel that’s so typical of Nii-san. Saying so while wiping the tears with her fingers, Karen continues. – Nii-san said that he will definitely come back, didn’t he? In that case, he will definitely come back with Liza-san. Because Nii-san is a person who keeps his promises—— ——Yes. What Sakura thinks is as Karen said. Because he said that he will definitely come back. Besides, Liza Harvey, the first human-Variant, is with him. It can be said that the possibility of a miracle happening is not low. That’s why, Sakura said. – … yeah, let’s believe that. In the return of Hayato-kun and Liza—— – Yes! Page|127 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
After the report, they also heard from Mei Mei and Charlotte about the strategy that they will do from now on. Like at the World Martial Arts Tournament and the invasion that occurred the day before the ceremony of mankind’s moon advancement, they also received a request that they wanted them to lure the Savages with their songs. 『The reason is also the same as the attack on the day before the ceremony. Even though everyone is exhausted to a greater or lesser extent due to the fight against Serivia, a lot of excellent Slayers are on the moon now. I don’t want the Savages to fall to the Earth, if at all possible』 – Naturally, I understand that. Sakura, who heard the explanation of Charlotte, said with an “it’s probably so” attitude. 『Will you sing?』 – Of course! Replying immediately, Sakura turns her gaze to Karen. – What about you, Karen-chan? – I will sing too. Karen replied firmly. – With Sakura-san. Sakura showed a satisfying smile upon hearing that answer. Page|128 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
※※※ Two and a half hours after carrying out the operation——. And only 30 minutes before that, they decided to take a rest in the rooms prepared for each of them. – … Hayato-kun, you’re fine, right…? Sakura, who went back to her room and lay down on the bed, muttered while looking up at the ceiling. ——He will definitely come back. She wanted to believe in those words like Karen, but she was unable to suppress the anxiety crossing her chest. (If she’s alone, then she must be somewhat depressed, so maybe I should go to the room of Karen-chan) If it’s to calm them, then they may be able to sleep even if it’s a bit. Sakura left the room thinking so and when she tried to knock the door of the room of Karen. She hears a voice similar to sobbing from inside the room. With that, Sakura stopped her hand. (… Karen-chan…) Page|129 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
Although she pretended to be tough earlier, she guessed that, as expected, she had heart-breaking, sad feelings Her voice saying 「Nii-san」 is slightly mixed with sobbing. (That’s right…. Since it’s only the two of them of their family…) She hesitated a little, but Sakura went back to her room immediately. She might have been able to comfort and distract Karen. But that’s temporary. Concerning the results, Karen has to solve those feelings herself, and Sakura herself as well. Otherwise, they won’t be able to sing songs after this. (I was trying to rely on Karen-chan. But that’s no good. Because I’m the one who has to pull Karen-chan——) What she should do now is not to be depressed nor crying. And neither meeting and comforting other people. It’s fine if sad and painful feelings are included in their lyrics and songs. Because I unmistakably am Kirishima Sakura, the Oriental Witch. ——It appears that the decision at that time seemed to not be wrong. – It’s okay. Page|130 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
Karen called out to Sakura at the wing of the ceremony hall, relaxed her stiffened expression and answered with a smile. Then she raises her eyebrows, looking at the face of Sakura and continues her words with an earnest expression. – I will fight. Because I think that’s what I should do now. If I don’t do it, then I can’t face Nii-san who protected this world risking his life. Listening to those words, Sakura felt relieved. Karen was able to overcome it herself well. – Karen-chan has truly become strong. As expected of my favorite pupil. – … thank you very much. She gently smiled at Karen who smiled as if feeling embarrassed, then continued her words. – Also, if we sing putting our feelings into it, then our singing voices may reach Nii-san, don’t you agree? I’m sure that the Hundred will make our wishes come true. After all, the Hundred made my dream come true——of becoming a singer like this. Karen took out the Hundred and grasped it tightly with both hands. – … you’re right. The Hundred answers the feelings of its owner. (That goes for Karen-chan and it goes for me as well) Page|131 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
So ——. – Karen-chan ——let’s sing putting our hearts into it properly. – Yes! Sakura and Karen. Their feelings became one. It’s at that time. – Do you have a minute, you two? It was a girl who got close to them that let them know she was there. She’s not a Variant. She’s not a Slayer either. She’s just a human. Still, her popularity as a Diva is at the same level of “Oriental Wizard” Kirishima Sakura——she’s Carol “Charming Angel” Caroline. – Carol-san, didn’t you evacuate with everyone else…? Why are you here…? – Moreover, that appearance—— Sakura doubted her eyes because Carol wears a lovely orange costume that looks like an angel which is also the one she wears when she sings on the stage. Page|132 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
– Hearing that you are going to sing after this, I came out from the shelter. And thus, I changed my clothes to this one. – Changed clothes, you say… What’s the meaning of this? Sakura asks. – I want to help you again. – Does that perhaps mean like that time…? Next, Karen asked. Yes——. That time refers to the World Martial Arts Tournament. When Sakura and Karen sang to attract the Savages. Carol helped Souffle to adjust the sound. Karen remembered that thing of that time. – Nope, it’s a bit different from that time. If it’s with you, then shouldn’t I come out wearing a costume like this? – Then in other words, what you want is to sing with us as one of the Divas representing the earthlings, am I correct? – Yes, exactly that. Carol answered firmly to the question of Sakura and continued her words with a serious look. Page|133 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
– I’m not retaining almost anything the Variant Virus. That’s why the songs I sing can’t make an appeal to the Slayers and Savages. I understand such a thing. But, I want to fight together with you ——I want to sing with you. That’s why I came here. – Err, Sakura-san… Karen, who felt a strong desire concentrated in the gaze of Carol, thought that she wanted to sing with her if possible. But she doesn’t have the right to decide that. After all, she’s only and no more than an existence that accompanies Sakura. But, Karen saw the face of Sakura as if she appealed to her, as if she wanted to do so. Then, smiling with a puff like being happy, Sakura——. – You have some nerve, don’t you? If you aren’t going to hold us back, then we give you a warm welcome. – Sakura-san! The expression of Karen that was uneasy, becomes bright. – … or perhaps I should say, in the first place, can you sing our songs? – How many times do you think we were on the same program or concert? Of course that I can sing them. I also got 95 points in karaoke! Page|134 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
– Oh, thank you for the royalties*. However, if you say so proudly, then get 100 points. What’s that “95 points”, huh? – If it’s 95 points in karaoke then that’s enough, you know!? – By the way, I got 90 points in your songs. But didn’t Karen-chan get 96 points before? – Ah, err… I got that… – Tsk… well, that’s not something worth worrying about. So, what’s the order of the songs? Can you tell me please? – Yes but, now that you have joined, the program must be changed a bit. Mixing neatly my songs, Karen’s songs, then adding our duet songs and Carol’s songs——that’s only if the Slayers and the Savages don’t get tired of us. Souffle, you don’t mind, right? 『If you are fine with it, then I don’t mind』 Souffle in the operation room responded while showing a expression similar to being amazed. – It’s decided then. When it’s our part, we should do eye contact or something, don’t you think? Since we are pros, whatever will do. And, that’s right——since this is a rare chance, shouldn’t we name this operation as Operation Live 『Trinity』? – Operation Live – Trinity…? Page|135 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
Karen and Carol said the full name of it as if continuing so. Trinity is a word that represents the meaning of 『3』 – How about it? It’s a good operation name, no? – Yes, I think it’s good! Karen replies immediately. Next, Carol also replied. – … we-well, it suits the occasion, isn’t it? Carol doesn’t seem to be wholly about it. – If so, then that’s also decided. Souffle, how long will it take to change the live program, I wonder? 『Well, I guess I can do it in 5 minutes or so』 After she replied, Souffle contacts Mei Mei in the briefing room in Little Garden section. 『Mei Mei, there’s no problem to extend the start by 5 minutes, correct?』 『Yes, no problem. If it’s to that extent, then I think it’s fine』 That exchange was heard by Sakura too. – 5 minutes, huh. It’s barely nothing, but in the meantime… since this unique, there’s only one thing that I want to do. Page|136 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
『Don’t tell me that you intend to do something unnecessary again?』 – Ufufu… ❤ The intuition of Souffle who got used to be manipulated by Sakura hit the mark. Sakura who smiled mischievously beckons towards Carol. – Carol-san, do you have a minute? – … eh? – Come on, come over here. – Kyaa! What the hell? Carol showed a surprised expression as Sakura pulled her to the changing room. 『What on earth is happening?』 – I don’t know. Souffle and Karen didn’t understand the intention of Sakura at all. Exactly 5 minutes later——. The door of the changing room opened and Sakura came out, raising her voice. Page|137 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
– Souffle, are the arrangements completed? 『Yes, they are done now』 – It took time to persuade her, but it seems I made it just in time. Hey, come out. – *Sniff*… – … eh? Karen doubted her eyes, looking at the appearance of Carol that came out, embarrassed. It’s because Karol was wearing a basic type used by the Slayers of Little Garden——the Variable Suit of Sakura used for practice. Naturally, Souffle was surprised too. 『Sakura, what’s the meaning of this? Carol-san isn’t a Slayer…』 – I thought of making the production a bit interesting. So I also updated the live costume data. You can confirm it. 『Confirm it you say…』 Souffle turns her eyes to the machine at hand. 『Certainly, it’s updated… err, wait a minute, Sakura. A thing like this is ——』 – It’s not impossible. I’ve done similar things numerous times, so I was sure of my success. Page|138 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
『But why such a thing…』 – Whether there’s 100,000 spectators or just one person, nothing changes. To surprise the audience in any stage, we will do our utmost to entertain them. That’s the pride of Kirishima Sakura as a Diva. That’s a thing that Souffle is fully aware of, right? 『… now that you mention it, it was like that, huh…』 Souffle sighed as if being amazed. 『Understood. Do as you like』 – Let’s go, Karen and Carol. Following the words of Sakura, the three of them appear on the stage. The first thing they noticed was that Latia was in the stands. – Oh, it seems it’s starting. Following those words, the Slayers in the ceremony venue turn their eyes to the stage. – … eh, why is even Carol coming out and wearing a Variable Suit? Naturally, Latia showed surprise. The other Slayers also begin to murmur. Because everyone knows that Carol isn’t a Slayer. (Ufufufufu, everyone is surprised) Page|139 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
It is tremendously fascinating to Sakura that the spectators are surprised and showing wonderment. (I’m going to surprise them more from here on!) The voice of Souffle is transmitted to the earphones the three of them had put on. 『Well then, let’s get started. Show them the best stage, girls!』 Receiving the words of Souffle, Sakura, Karen and Carol nodded to one another, exchanging glances reciprocally. In each of their hands, a Hundred is being grasped tightly——. – HUNDRED ON! – HUNDRED ON! – HUNDRED ON! The bodies of the three girls are covered with shining particles, and their respective costumes are created. A cherry-colored shrine maiden costume for Sakura. A lovely purple fairy-like costume for Karen. And——. (Alright, it turned out well!) The surprise is a huge success. Page|140 Goldenagato| https://mp4directs.com
