told the people of the settlement that she rescued him from a beast and that they shared a meal. Maria was able to open her heart to the settlers right away. Although they were people of another planet, this was her first interaction in a long time with intelligent life forms similar to her. This was something delightful for Maria, but at the same time, it meant despair for her. Not just the settlers visited by Maria, but also the nearby settlements she also visited, all of them had a very low level of intelligence. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say they were closer to an ape than to a human. Clearly, the civilization level of this planet was tens of thousands of years behind Notre Dame. Naturally, there were no engineers who could repair the spaceship. Maria had no choice but to conclude. … However, in any case, the interaction with the people of this planet is indispensable to subsist from now on. As long as she was welcomed, she certainly had to use them as much as possible. So, Maria taught the settlers how to build an easy fire and the way to use different tools. As a result, Maria was even more accepted by the settlers. Eventually, this reached a point where even many adults came to Maria seeking lots of information. The settlers gave her food as a compensation for the knowledge. Page 93 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
That felt as if Maria became a god. When she understood their language, she realized that was what the settlers thought. A life in which I’m worshipped like this isn’t bad. Maria gradually began to think so. Of course, she didn’t think something like wanting to stay here forever, but she would continue living like this for a while until space travelers who have come to this planet notice a rescue signal and rescue her. Maria, who believed so, continued to live with the settlers. And when she less expected it, 5 years had passed since that day――. Page 94 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
The melancholy of the Queen Claire Harvey A competition was held by all the students of the Martial Arts Department twice a year in Little Garden, from June to July and from November to December. *TN: Competition is the furigana reading for competition tournament. The purpose of it was for the students of the Martial Arts Department to compete with each other and to develop their strength. By the way, this situation, that is, this open combat training, was exhibited to the whole world via cybernet to show the ability of Little Garden outside of it. Today was last Sunday in June. The finals of the spring competition between Claire and Erika took place at 3:00 pm. The result: Claire won. Because of that, she was surrounded by many reporters in the basement of the stadium and gave interviews. Related to this, the spring competition was only for second and third-year students, the first-year students would held a tournament privately at a later date. Page 95 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
Because there were many freshmen who weren’t capable of fighting with their upperclassmen. While Selections (Hayato included) had the strength for that, they weren’t the exception, so they would be moved to the tournament of the first-years students. Hayato should have been watching the finals in the guest seating together with the members of Selections Emile Crossford, Latia Saint-Émillion and Fritz Grantz, ――aside from Kirishima Sakura who came today to Little Garden using her days off and his little sister Kisaragi Karen, but――. – … Huh? If the President is giving an interview over there, then it means that the finals has ended? Hayato, who saw Claire surrounded by reporters, stopped his feet. – Eh? Then being asked to show the way to Hayato has no point anymore? The one who said, so sounding dissatisfied, was Kirishima Sakura standing next to Hayato with an ice cream in hand. She was wearing sunglasses to hide her identity, but it was obvious to Claire. – Now that you say it like that, then I should have been guided by Emile or Latia, don’t you think? – How can you say that when you’re finally alone with a world-famous Idol? The two started to quarrel. Just like a lover’s quarrel. Claire, who couldn’t help but look at the turbulence, stopped the group of reporters and called out to Hayato and Sakura. – Err, what are you doing here masuno? This area is off-limits except for staff desuwayo. – Oh, President. I’m sorry. Because I went to meet Sakura who was late at the airport, I ended up getting lost…. I feel that the President won the competition, is that right? Page 96 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
– … Does that mean that you didn’t watch me and Erika’s finals desu? Claire was taken aback when she heard Hayato’s reply. Even though I gave him a special seat because I wanted him to see it in a good place, in the end, he got lost…. – You guys are, unbelievable… Claire was exasperated, and sighed. – The thing is, in the first place, Sakura said “We can take a shortcut if we use the underground passage, no?”… – Ah, are you saying it’s my fault, Hayato-kun? Sakura showed a sullen facial expression. Immediately after that. – Hmm? Isn’t that Kirishima Sakura? One of the reporters raised their voice all of a sudden. Beginning with that, the gazes of the reporters and the cameras were directed towards Sakura one after another. – You serious!? – Who’s the man next to her? – It’s true, she’s Kirishima Sakura! – Oh, this is bad. They’ve found me. This is going to become a trouble, so let’s run away. Sakura took the hand of the flustered Hayato and began to run. – Hey, Sakura. We haven’t asked the President about the way to go to the Page 97 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
audience sea―― – That’s irrelevant now, don’t you think? If they get us, this will absolutely be a problem! – No, we’re in trouble already, and I feel that I was dragged into this trouble even if we escape… – They escaped! This has the smell of a scandal! – Run after them! – Wait! Listen to what I have to say! The reporters began to run after Hayato and Emile. – … Everyone ended up leaving. Chris muttered. The situation was exactly as he stated. Only Claire and Chris remained in that place. – … We can’t do anything without an interviewer, so, we should say the interview is over, isn’t it? – Y-you are right desuwane… Claire returned to the waiting room and headed to the shower room. To wash off her sweat sticking to her body. What crossed her mind during that were the figures of Kisaragi Hayato and Kirishima Sakura that she had come across moments ago. (Kisaragi Hayato… how can it be that not only you’re flirting with that Page 98 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
childhood friend, but also with that Diva, with Kirishima Sakura…?!) The next thing that crossed her mind was the day after she sortied to the Zwei Islands with Kisaragi Hayato. Although it was an accident, she ended up kissing Kisaragi Hayato at the student’s men’s dorm of the Martial Arts Department after she came chasing Emile Crossford aka Emilia Hermit. This was the first kiss in her life with a partner she recognized as the opposite sex. When she realized, the index finger of her right hand stretched to her lips. Her heartbeats rose, her chest hurt. (What are you thinking, Kisaragi Hayato? He kissed Emilia Hermit and he also did the same to Kirishima Sakura… don’t tell me that he went even further with those two…) And then, the heartbeats stopped. (That’s way too fast for us who are students masuwa! Besides, if he’s doing things with other women, or even doing something like kissing me, these things must mean nothing to Kisaragi Hayato…) Strangely, she ended up feeling depressed. Page 99 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
Page 100 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
Her chest tightened. (Enough of that….. What am I thinking…?) She shook her head, trying to shake off the unnecessary emotions. (I’m Claire Harvey, the Queen――and the Student Council President of Little Garden. This is not the moment to be thinking about love affairs or anything like that masenwa!) Yes. She tried sweeping all the unnecessary emotions under the carpet. She had to let them flow. After she took a shower for a few minutes. Claire, who turned off the water, left the shower while combing her hair upwards with both hands. ※※※ After she changed into her red uniform made for the President, Claire left the school with Liddy, Erika and Chris Steinbelt, a middle school student and her retainer, and headed to Central to have dinner by foot. Page 101 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
– Today is Claire-sama’s victory. Since it’s also Erika-sama’s runner up celebration, should we have the French course at the usual restaurant? Chris said the moment they arrived at Central. Immediately after, the eyes of Claire crossed the figures of Kisaragi Hayato and Kirishima Sakura disguised with a cap and sunglasses. They were walking with their arms crossed. However, it didn’t mean they were all lovey-dovey. She saw that Hayato tried to separate from her, but Sakura didn’t seem to allow so. She felt it was against his will. (Good grief, that Diva is…) It didn’t matter how much she made advances to Kisaragi Hayato, he would never fell to her. The feelings Hayato had towards her were of respect and admiration. Claire felt those were his feelings towards her attitude as a Diva. (But, that’s the same for me too desuwane…) When she thought so, her chest hurt. If that was the case, then what was Kisaragi Hayato’s attitude towards Emilia? When she was wondering so, she could confirm that Sakura and Hayato entered a hamburger restaurant called『King Burger』. Because of that, Claire stopped her feet, – ――Let’s have dinner in that restaurant. Page 102 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
– Eh, King Burger? Isn’t that unusual for Claire-sama? Erika said, looking amazed. Because Claire wouldn’t generally take the initiative to choose a fast food restaurant. – Even I feel like wanting to eat an ordinary hamburger every here and then masuwayo. It’s not a problem if we don’t have a reservation in this restaurant. – If Claire-sama says so, then I don’t have any issues… Erika agreed even if she was confused. – I don’t see the problem either. – I’m okay with it. Liddy and Chris also agreed. In this way, Claire and the others stepped in King Burger. King Burger’s interior was quite spacious, it wasn’t a restaurant where Slayers and ordinary people were separated. While they simply attract attention, Claire and company ordered a set of cheeseburgers and took a seat. – It seems you haven’t been able to calm down for a while now, did something happen, Claire-sama? Liddy said moments after they started eating. Then, Erika asked. – Claire-sama isn’t calm because we attract attention? – No, that’s not it masen. I have no problems arimasenwa. Claire, who replied being flustered, extended her hand to a paper cup with orange juice in it. Page 103 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
Still, her eyes ended up going towards Hayato and Sakura. – Here, Hayato-kun. Can you “uuum” for me? – “Uuum”…? – Come on, do it, “uuum”. Sakura held out a fried potato in front of Hayato’s face. (I can’t believe it, that Diva truly is…!) Claire exerted her strenght so much that she ended up crushing the paper cup with her hand. Because of that, the orange juice burst in her mouth in one go from the straw. Claire coughed, and coughed, and coughed. – … Err, Claire-sama? Are you okay… eh… What met Erika’s eyes, who stood up to look after Claire, were Hayato and Sakura. With that, Erika understood everything. – … Claire-sama…. Is there any chance that Claire-sama said she wanted to enter this restaurant because of Kirishima Sakura and Kisaragi Hayato? – Ah! Eh, err, you see… Claire averted her eyes, trying to dodge the question. But Erika kept aiming suspicious eyes at Claire. Those same eyes were aimed at her by Liddy and Chris. – Well, umm… that desuwa. The truth is I didn’t know that K-Kirishima Sakura was in this place. Unless I was monitoring her, you know!!? Page 104 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
Claire was so flustered that she didn’t even know what she was saying. And then, *Beep*, *Beep*, the PDAs of Claire and the Student Council Members suddenly began to sound. – What happened? Liddy took out the PDA from the pocket. The sound was heard by Hayato and the others, of course. – This sound is… – An emergency. Sakura answered. Both of them understood so immediately. – But, it’s not like mine is sounding… Hayato took out the PDA from his pocket, but it was unresponsive. Naturally, the eyes of the customers in the hamburger restaurant were aimed at Claire and company who were the source of the sounds. And as a matter of course, the eyes of Hayato and Sakura were also turned towards them. – … eh, President? The President and the others were also eating here? – T-that’s right desuwayo. I-it’s nothing more than a coincidence that you are also here desuwa! Sakura said, looking at Claire who answered. – Hey, Hayato-kun. Isn’t the President flustered? Sakura whispered close to the ear of Hayato. Page 105 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
Hayato thought that it was certainly like that. – I wonder if it’s because an Ojou-sama like her is embarrassed of being seen eating hamburgers in a place like this. – Oh, you may be right. – … What are you talking so stealthily masuno!? Claire continued asking to try avoiding a strange questioning towards herself. – M-more importantly, why are just the two of you eating here masuno? It was Sakura who answered the question. – After that, we got lost again, you know? Hayato answered next. – The audience seats were already closed, so we talked about where to gather with Emile and the others so we decided on this place. – … Eh, Prez? The voice of Emile resounded in the restaurant. They turned their eyes to Karen on a wheelchair pushed by Emile. And the figures of Fritz and Latia who stepped in. They had left the crowded stadium and finally arrived at Central. – Even the vice-presidents are here. Why are you in a place like this? When Emile turned her eyes to the President and the others. The PDA of Claire sounded once again. A line was opened, even when it wasn’t in call mode. Page 106 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
『My bad for doing this while you’re having a funny conversation, but you haven’t forgotten about the emergency call, have you?』 The voice she heard was from Charlotte Dimandius, the main technologist of Little Garden. Claire was surprised. – Of course not desuwayo, Charlotte. What is the important matter desuno? 『It seems that Savages have appeared in the northern hilly area of the Kingdom of Formosa, located around 20 kilometers to the west of Little Garden’s current position. A support request has arrived from them. The Savages appear to be normal type, so I thought of sortieing 5 second-year who have fought with Savages already. Do you agree to that?』 – … No, I’ll go today masuwa. 『This scale done by Queen-sama herself only? But your body――even your energy are drained due to the fight of the finals of the competition, no?』 For that reason, the answer from《LIZA》and Charlotte was that second-years would be sortied. However, Claire didn’t back down. – That’s why I think I can still manage a scale like that desuwa. Charlotte. Even you shouldn’t have any issues with it, am I correct? – Certainly, I think that’s true. There was a reason why Claire was so eager to go. She thought that if she battled the Savage, she would blow away the irritation and the gloominess in her head all at once. – If so, I’ll go masu. Erika stood up quickly, but Claire shook her head to the left and right. – You can’t masenwa. You must have consumed a lot of energy and vital in the fight against me. Stand by here. – … Page 107 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
Erika showed disappointment. Certainly, it was as she said, but because she couldn’t mobilize together with Claire, she couldn’t help but feel frustrated. Claire continued. – Naturally, not even the first-years can come with me because the first-yearonly competition is close masenwa. – In that case, I shall go. The one who stood up next was Liddy. She had no matches today. In the semifinal of the other day, she fell into Erika’s trap and ended up losing and consuming a lot of energy, but now she was in perfect condition. – … You are right desuwane. I will ask Liddy to accompany me in case something were to happen. Let’s go to the Terminal Division together. Erika and Chris, go to the briefing room. Understood desuwane? 『Geez, as expected of you. Alright, you’re authorized to sortie. Even if I stop you, you’ll go anyways, no?』 Charlotte, who said so mixed with amazement, allowed Claire’s sortie. – Please do your best, President. Hayato gave a shout to Claire’s back as she walked towards the exit. – Of course desuwayo. Claire replied without looking back and left the restaurant together with Liddy. Page 108 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
※※※ – I-I’ll go again… The brown-haired bobcat girl muttered after the long black-haired girl. – A-alright…. It’ll be all for nothing if we don’t protect this island! She said so, but their bodies were trembling with fear. They were in the northern hilly area of the Kingdom of Formosa. The two girls were slashing at two Savages with Chevalier-Type Hundred in hand, but they couldn’t even damage their steel shells, to not mention the barrier protecting their cores. That alone was enough for them to be frightened. At any rate, it was their first time fighting the Savages. – Still, we have to do it…. Because we’re the only Slayers in this place. – Yeah, we’ve trained to protect this island―― A Savage raised the pincer of its arm overhead and took an offensive stance as it roared loudly, facing the long black-haired girl. The girls moved to dodge it. ――And, at that moment. Page 109 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
– … Eh? A single beam was released from the sky and stopped the movement of the Savage that had raised its arm overhead. What was that? The Savage looked up at the sky. The two girls had the same reaction. Claire, a Slayer clad in red armor and who flew down from the sky――deployed her Dragoon-type Hundred Alisterion. She fired 6 floating batteries that floated around her own body and disturbed the other Savage. She took advantage of the gap she made and landed on the head of the Savage. – One down desuwa. A beam was fired from the gun in her right hand, aiming at the core. It was powerful enough that penetrated the head all the way to the core, the Savage sank into the ground instantly. – Amazing… That word was spilled from the mouth of the long black-haired girl. The brown-haired bobcat girl also muttered. – That person, she’s Little Garden’s… – Yeah… Rose Guardian. Perfect Queen. Claire said to the two girls who had such aliases floating in their minds. Page 110 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
– Are you alright desuno? – Ah, yes! – Thank you very much for helping us! The two girls bowed their heads in panic. – It seems that you don’t have much experience fighting Savages yet desuwane. You can learn by seeing my fight desuwa. Immediately after Claire said so. The other Savage yelled sonorously and began to collect light in its mouth. ――That was the signal of a bombardment. – I may look cheerful, but I’m in a very bad mood right now desuwa. I will not go easy on you masenwayo! She returned the Buster Cannon to 6 floating batteries. Claire, who jumped using sense energy, fired beams aiming at the head of the Savage as she somersaulted. That stopped the bombardment of the Savage and Claire began to pursue it. – Petals! Together with that shout, a total of 12 small floating batteries were emitted from the 6 floating batteries. They fired beams in an intermittent manner as they danced in the air, damaging the Savage. – This is the end desuwa! Once all the petals disappeared, Claire gathered the 6 floating batteries on her hand and created Buster Cannon again. To penetrate the core of the Savage that crumbled down from its feet. Page 111 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
The charge of energy was completed at once. – Take this! The tick and massive beam fired together with that shout shoot out the head of the Savage as she expected and destroyed it. ――Mission completed. 『Hey hey, Claire. You went a bit overkill, you know? It got so destroyed that it will be difficult to recover the core』 What was heard from the vital ring of Claire who took a breath once she landed on the ground was the amazed voice of Charlotte. Claire was surprised at this. Certainly, the core of the Savage broke into fragments, scattering on the ground. – I am so sorry masenwa. I unintentionally went… 『… Well, let’s leave the recovery of the cores to the Slayers of the Kingdom of Formosa. I hope you return to Little Garden right away. And how was it? Did your rage and irritation go away?』 Claire showed a sullen facial expression on her face and inflated her slightly dyed red cheeks. – Charlotte Dimandius. Shut up, that’s none of your business desuwayo. ※※※ Page 112 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
What met the eyes of Claire dressed in her Variable Suit and who descended from the transport aircraft that returned to Little Garden was Kisaragi Hayato, the cause of her irritation. Behind him were all the members who were at the hamburger restaurant, including Erika and Chris, the only exception was Karen. – Why are you here…? Hayato answered that question. – After the President left, Karen returned to the hospital and we went to the briefing room. He said so, then continued. – We watched President’s battle. It was truly amazing! – T-that’s something natural for me desuwayo. I’m Perfect Queen after all! She became embarrassed when she was praised by Hayato. And Claire, turned her face away abruptly. Hayato saw that and said. – Err, President… why is your face red? Is it possible that you got tired of the series of battles and you don’t feel great…? – Wha! Hayato touched Claire’s forehead with his extended right hand. Claire’s face spouted roaring flames. Page 113 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
– See, President? Your forehead is getting hot just like I thought. – Eh… ah, that…. Uu… certainly, I do feel a bit tired masuwane. Claire, who hung her bright red face down, muttered. However, she seemed to come to her senses with that. – B-besides, the temperature difference between the wilderness and Little Garden is extreme and after the finals I took a shower arimasu. I sweated a lot, so it wouldn’t be strange to catch a cold, don’t you agree!? She yelled, shook off Hayato’s hand and turned around suddenly. – I’ll take a shower and change my clothes after this arimasu. Now, if you excuse me masuwa! Claire got in the arranged car right away. – Claire-sama!! – Please wait!! Liddy and Erika got in the same car in panic. Hayato muttered as he saw off the car that started to move. – The President was weird, did something happen…? – Hayato is really a blockhead, huh…. Emile muttered as if she was amazed. – Huh? – Forget it. Emile sighed deeply, looking at Hayato who had a question mark in his face. Page 114 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
Then, Sakura said. – But I think that part of Hayato-kun is cute ❤. Sakura showed an impure smile together with an *Ufufu* and took Hayato’s arm. – That’s right, Hayato-kun. Why don’t we go to a karaoke now? I’ll give a special concert just for Hayato-kun ❤. – Wait a second! Emile raised a voice of protest and took the arm Sakura didn’t take. – Hayato is going to return to the dorm now and train with me. The firstyears’ competition is starting next week, so we have to be able to control our energy properly by then! – But, today is Sunday. It’s a day off, no? He must rest. And Hayato-kun also wants to do so, right? It’s said that Sunday is the day when God takes a rest after all. – … Err, umm… that’s right! Actually, I also felt a bit of cold, so I’ll pass for today. I’ll go back to the dorm now. Why don’t you go to a karaoke together? Hayato thought that it would be troublesome to choose either and started running as if escaping. – Wait a minute, Hayato! – Yeah, wait! How is Hayato-kun running if you have a cold!? However, Hayato didn’t reply to their hopes of stopping him. He continued running towards the dorm. Charlotte, who was watching the whole story through the surveillance cameras installed in Little Garden, asked unintentionally. Page 115 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
– Good grief…. Emilia, Kirishima Sakura and even your Onee-san have it difficult when Kisaragi Hayato acts like that, huh. Even you think the same, right, 《LIZA》? The three-character response that emerged on the monitor exclusive to《LIZA》 was ――『YES』. Page 116 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
Intermission Page 117 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
Approximately 5,000 years ago part 4 Since Maria appeared, the intellectual level of the villagers continued improving. They learned the way to use fire and tools, started to hunt and cook efficiently and even began to farm. A language system was put in place and they began to write characters. They formed villages as their population increased. Their leader was, of course, Maria. Thanks to Maria, the villagers were able to do more than 100 years of normal evolution in just 5 years. Because of that, Maria felt satisfied. But, five years ended up passing already. Help didn’t come, but during that time, Maria came to understand her powers. Broadly speaking, she had 2 powers. The first one was: if she grasped the 《amulet》 while wishing for it to have a form or use it like in a certain way, then its shape would change. And the second one was: she could attack using a《mysterious power》that Page 118 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
was dormant in the bottom of her body like when she fought with the wolf to save the boy. With it, she could also spread a barrier. She noticed other two things. One was that Maria appeared to practically not age. Maybe that was the effect of the space adaptation surgery. It may be better to say that she remembered more than noticing the other one. When she noticed, the light emitted by the《mysterious power》was strikingly similar to the one emitted from the bodies of the Savages. With that, Maria finally hit on a conclusion. That mysterious power looked as if she inherited it from the Savages. She didn’t get after all this time what timing was this. But if she inherited this power from the Savages, could she transfer it to others? Maria, who thought so, decided to give it a try. If something from the body of the Savages infected her, then it was fine to make them be infected of their own accord. Blood, saliva――. She thought, and the result: she decided to kiss a girl of the settlement. Then, that girl came to emit light using that《mysterious power》 just like Maria. Then she thought that this could be the same for other people, but nobody else was infected. Maybe there was a pattern like blood type. Page 119 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
The《mysterious power》would transfer even if she just kissed their foreheads, but there were persons whose powers didn’t work, they wouldn’t do anything at all. On the contrary, some suffered even though they just received her saliva and in the end, they died. The other thing she knew was that the older and older the other person was, the less likely that person would be infected by her powers. In other words, if her type wasn’t compatible, she would have probably died when she was attacked by the Savages, and if she were too old, she probably wouldn’t have obtained this power. (I was lucky) She was lucky to be able to survive. After that, Maria tried to avoid contact with others as much as possible. There was a possibility she might end up killing the villagers. Another thing she thought was that she could reign on this planet as God since the humans of this planet had no powers. Maria followed that idea and solidified even more her position as God. However, there was absolutely no approach regarding rescue signals. … Nonetheless, she hated the idea of dying on this planet. She wanted to go back to Planet Notre Dame. She wanted to go back to the person who was waiting for her there――to go back to Glen. But, her anxiety was too much for her mind. Page 120 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
(I wonder if Glen will accept me the way I am now) Maria shook her head to shake off the anxiety and persuaded herself. (Yeah, if it’s Glen, then he will absolutely accept me) And, if it was Glen, then surely her former self――. She should return to Notre Dame as herself and not as a God. And. Page 121 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
After Festa――After he was found out with her Two days have passed since the night of the Founding Festival――the Gardens Festa in which Emile Crossford, a first year student of Little Garden High School Martial Arts Department, was actually a woman, and not only that, she officially became Emilia Gudenburg, the Princess of the Kingdom of Gudenburg, the suzerain state of the Federation of Britannia. The Martial Arts Department’s school building, the top part of the military section and the deck of Little Garden were destroyed by the terrorist attack of Vitaly Tynyanov, and their repairs started at the same time the Founding Festival finished by the students of the Martial Arts Department and the mercenaries of Warslan Company under instruction of the Student Council. … However, Hayato and Emilia participated in that from today. They got considerably damaged by fighting the Replicant Savages and Krovahn and the others, the three Variants who rampaged; and also consumed a large quantity of sense energy, so they were given a day off. Hayato and Emilia slept all day in their rooms. Therefore, this was the first day since Hayato and Emilia exposed themselves in public that night. And for that reason alone, the excitement of the other students was considerable. Emilia attracted a lot of attention as she helped to sort the repair materials Page 122 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
carried into the school building by trucks. A lot of rumors plunged into Hayato’s ears who was doing the same duty. – Oh, if it isn’t the rumored Emilia-san! – Wow, she’s really wearing a girl’s uniform! – Just when I was longing for Emile-kun! – “The forbidden love of Hayato-kun and Emile-kun”, huh… So on and so forth, – Hey, that Emilia does look like a Princess, doesn’t she? – It seems there’s a rumor saying that Emilia-san, Claire-sama and Kirishima Sakura are competing for Hayato-kun! Etcetera, truly a lot of things they said. Because of that much, Hayato wasn’t at all calm. (I only prefer this because the school is still closed, but once it reopens normally, this thing will become even more problematic, isn’t it?) Hayato sighed greatly, thinking so in his mind. First place of Hundred’s all-time reaction values. He drew with Claire in the duel the day after enrolling. He was selected for Selections while being a first-year student. A prodigy who slaughtered a Trenta type Savage in his first battle. The rumor of an ardent love with the Idol Kirishima Sakura. And so on; although he came into the limelight lots of times in this sixth months, it calmed down substantially lately, and yet, it was happening again. Page 123 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
He wasn’t the center of the rumors this time, so maybe this was a blessing in disguise? (No, rather, this might be a trouble) Hayato thought so because Emilia was the center of the rumors, like he wasn’t worried about that at all. – Hayato, let’s go for dinner! As soon as today’s duty ended, Emilia took Hayato’s arm and walked towards the cafeteria. – H-hey, hold on a second, don’t link our arms! If someone sees us, they’ll do so with strange eyes! – Hayato said all this time that we should stop because you felt unpleased linking arms with another man, isn’t that right? So, come on. Now I’m an ordinary girl and the childhood friend of Hayato no matter how you look at it! There should be no problem, right!? Certainly, Emilia now was wearing a girl’s uniform unlike so far and her hair wasn’t tied. This much ended up making his heart race, and the gazes from their surroundings became something like seeing an innocent couple. This would only rise even more strange rumors. (This Emilia, how should I put it, she’s always doing things her own way…?) In the end, Hayato couldn’t shake off Emilia’s arm and arrived at the cafeteria placed exactly in between the school buildings of the elementary, middle, high and martial arts departments. Since a lot of students of the martial arts department worked at night for the duration of the repairs of Little Garden, it was decided that they should have meals in the cafeteria and not in the dorms.

The power supply facilities and the like destroyed by Vitaly’s attack were already repaired, they were practically working as usual. The menu was a bit small than usual. – Oh, Kisaragi-san and Emile… no, Emilia-san! When Hayato was looking for seats to where to sit with Emilia as they ordered the menu’s special of the day which was deep-fried chicken with mayonnaise on it, a voice suddenly called out to them. A first-year student of the martial arts department just like them. She was their classmate Noah Sheldon. Next to her was another classmate, Ryu Shuemei. Both of them, like Hayato and Emilia, had a tray with the special of the day on them. – You’re also going to have dinner? Would you mind doing so with us? Hayato invited the two showily. He thought they wouldn’t attract attention so much than eating by themselves. – Eh, are you sure? They didn’t think he would invite them like that. Shuemei smiled, looking happy. However, there was someone who tapped her shoulder. That was Noah. She murmured as if whispering close to Shuemei’s ear. – We can’t, Shuemei. Look at her… Page 125 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
– Her…? Ah… The body of Shuemei stiffened. Because the point at which the gaze of Noah was looking was the figure of Emilia with arms crossed, clearly showing a discontented expression on her face. (… She’s dangerous…) Hayato noticed it and thought they would end up declining at this rate, so he requested Emilia to accept. – Hey, it’s fine if they join us? – I don’t mind if Hayato says so, but… Emilia reluctantly agreed. Thus, dinner time started for the four people. – Come to think of it, what are Shuemei and Noah doing now? After all of them said “thanks for the food” all together, each one of them began to talk about their duties. – I inspect the entry and exit of vehicles at the checkpoint. Noah does the same. Shuemei answered Hayato’s question. Then, Noah said. – I’ve been doing this work for the last few days, but I do have a lot of free time. What are Hayato-san and Emilia-san doing? – We’re helping to sort out the repair materials carried into the school. Isn’t that right, Emilia? – Ah, yeah. That’s right. Page 126 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
Emilia hadn’t said a single word since the dinner started. So Hayato brought up the subject, but her answer was plain, just a few words she said. She ate her meal with the same displeasured expression. For that reason only, not just Hayato. But also Shuemei and Noah showed up confusion. A moment of silence appeared. (What do we do?) (Ask them that?) (You ask them) (Eh, me?) (Yes, please. You do it…) Shuemei and Noah discussed with a low voice. And the result――. – Excuse me, there’s something I want to ask to the two of you! At last, determination came to her. Shuemei, who was incited by Noah’s elbow, put both hands on the desk and raised her voice mixed with excitement. – Ho-honestly speaking, how far have the two of you gone!? Hayato ended up spurting out water reflexively. – H-how far…? Shuemei-san, what are you saying…? Page 127 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
– Wh-what she means is that, w-whether or not it’s true that you were kissing at the beach! Noah stood up like Shuemei and said as if backing her. Shuemei asked again. – How is it then!? You kissed! Isn’t it!? Not only you kissed, you maybe went even further―― – Err, that’s true! – Hey, Emilia! Her displeasured expression until now wasn’t at all bothered. Emilia was about to start talking with a smile on her whole face. – What’s up guys! You seem to be having a nice talk here. Let us mix in it too. The one who called out to them was their classmate Fritz Grantz. He also had the same special of the day in his hands like Hayato and Emilia. Next to him was another classmate of theirs, Latia Saint-Émillion. She had spaghetti. – Wha, Fritz. She was saying if they went even further. Could it be that what’s beyond a kiss is… – Whaaat? That’s not something a child should care about. Fritz put his right hand on top of Latia’s head. Then Latia bared her fangs and flared up at Fritz. – Wha!? Don’t say that I’m a child! Page 128 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
– Hey hey, don’t act violently. You’ll spill the soup. Fritz put his back on the chair, putting the tray on the table with a composed attitude. Latia also sat on seat while inflating her cheeks. – … So, you’re talking about the kiss of the day before yesterday? Fritz turned a happy-looking smile. – Let’s stop talking about that… Hayato scratched his cheek, looking embarrassed. This was a topic he didn’t want to touch if possible. – But, it was true that you were kissing. We saw it too. Isn’t that right, Latia? – Y-yeah. They were intertwined on the beach… – Yup yup, Hayato was being proactive back th―― – Hey, Emilia! I told you to stop! Hayato, who stopped Emilia who was about to speak happily in a hurry, continued. – That kiss was an accident, rather, a lot of coincidences came one after another, so yeah, we were doing so because, I mean… He couldn’t talk about――the Variant’s power recovery. Hayato and Emilia were Variants, but it was a secret at that point, except for the members of the Student Council and a part of the staff of Warslan Company. – Well, I’ll do so, so let’s leave it as that. *Hahaha*, Fritz laughed. Then Latia said. Page 129 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
– Nevertheless, Emilia. You’re now the center of attention. That much must be very hard, isn’t it? – Nope, not for me. – Hmm? Is that so? – Rather, it’s much easier for me than when I was hiding the fact I was a woman. Until now, I had to hide my chest in battle with Arms Shroud. The Variable jacket had a tight chest line in it. – Oh, I see. Emilia moved her hands along the lines of her chest as if emphasizing its size. – When I was in school uniform, it was tough and difficult to wrap a cloth to hide my breasts, the summer was a real pain, I really suffered there. Even using the toilet―― – Oh, that’s right. How did you do it when you had to go to the toilet? Noah asked immediately. It seemed like she was interested in that. – Err, I tried to not do it at school if possible. Eventually, there was a time I couldn’t endure it――ah, let’s stop talking about toilets. Anyway, we’re not the only ones eating here, and it’s a little embarrassing too. Emilia scratched her face as if feeling embarrassed. His heart ended up accelerating a bit due to the expression she didn’t show when she was cross-dressing. – ――Anyway, that’s the end of the story. Hayato also seemed to have finished eating, so we’ll be going at once. You promised we would do that today too, right? Page 130 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
– That…? – W-what are you doing together!? Noah and Shuemei stood up with their faces dyed red and asked them, bending themselves forward. – That-is-a-se-cret ❤. Emilia, who answered while raising her index finger in front of her face, stood up with tray in hand. – Let’s go, Hayato. – S-sure. Hayato also stood up with tray in hand and the two of them left the cafeteria. ※※※ – Alright, shall we begin? This was, the courtyard of the dorm. Emilia turned the pointed end of the bamboo sword she had to Hayato. One could see that Hayato also had a bamboo sword in hand like her. Page 131 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
– I thought she meant something like night training, but it’s just training, huh. The one who said so was Shuemei who got Fritz to bring her along to this place after they finished the meal. Noah was next to her. – Since the stadium and the training grounds aren’t usable, these guys are training here every day, you see. If you like, you can also do the same. What do you think? – No, as expected, that… – May be a bit impossible for us. Fritz laughed, looking at Shuemei and Noah who replied in a row. Hayato and Emilia’s training was without the use of Hundred. A clashing between bamboo sword and bamboo sword. Still, the force of that was considerable… Shuemei and Noah stiffened their faces, seeing their sword fight. – I don’t think I can get in between those guys, you know? It’ll be bad to get in their way, so let’s stick to this. – Yeah… – We’ll train and come back again. Shuemei and Noah left that place excitedly. After they saw off their figures. – Alright, I’m going to take a bath then sleep. Fritz, who said so, entered the dorm. Hayato and Emilia’s sword fight continued as the stars shone in the night sky. Page 132 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
– This is it! Emilia leapt into Hayato’s bosom and shook off her bamboo sword horizontally. Hayato tried to catch it and counterattack at the last moment, but a dent made during the battle was taken by his feet and ended up pitching forward. The body of Hayato, which fell forward, pushed down Emilia’s body――. – Uwaah!? – Eh…!? The two fell on the ground as if lying on top of one another. – H-hey, Emilia… are you okay? Hayato called out to Emilia who was under his body. – Y-yeah… I’m okay… but… Emilia answered and tried to stand up. Then, their eyes met. Hayato’s chest throbbed, feeling the sweet aroma drifting from Emilia’s hair. The distance between their faces was no more than 10 centimeters. And, the right hand of Hayato was――. – … Hayato, you’re touching, my boob… Emilia muttered, feeling embarrassed. Hayato noticed after he was told so. Certainly, his right hand was touching Emilia’s breast. Page 133 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
– S-sorry! Hayato got up, pulling his hand off in panic. – I don’t dislike it though. – Eh…? – I’d hate if it were someone else, but if it’s Hayato, then I don’t dislike it. Emilia, who said so, stood up and put her weight on Hayato. This time, Emilia pushed and held Hayato down in a position similar to straddling. – Hey, Hayato… why don’t we continue the thing of the other day? – Continue the thing of the other day…? What he remembered was that thing after the Gardens Festa. It seemed to be about the kiss they talked about during dinner moments ago. – … Hayato… Page 134 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
Page 135 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
Emilia pulled her hair upwards, closed her eyes slowly and brought her face near his. What he remembered was the feeling of her lips he felt at that time. Hayato swallowed saliva involuntarily. – … H-hey. This is the courtyard of the dorm, isn’t it? He said so but Hayato couldn’t push Emilia back with both hands. On the contrary, he ended up shutting his eyes. His instinct was telling him he wanted to taste the feeling of that time again. 8 centimeters, 5 centimeters, the lips of the two approached to a distance they could feel each other’s sighs. Eventually, they opened to a size two tongues would fit in in them――. – What are you doing masuno!?!? Their lips were on the verge of lying on top of one another. The voice of Claire Harvey, the Queen of Little Garden, reverberated there and the two of them separated. – Why are you here, Prez!? Emilia asked while bringing her body up in panic. – I went to the deck to check the state of the restoration desu. On the way back from there, I encountered Ryu Shuemei and Noah Sheldon desuwa. And when I heard that you were training alone, I had a bad presentiment and came to see the situation and like I thought…, no, it was just as I thought… – President, please wait. This was an accident during our training… – There’s no use in arguing about it desuwa! HUNDRED ON! Page 136 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
Claire deployed her own armament, the Dragoon type Hundred Alisterion. – Whoa, we’re telling you to wait―― – I won’t! You have too many accidents masuwa! Claire fired a beam, aiming at the space between Hayato and Emilia. – Uwaah!? Hayato screamed and did a back step. Emilia did the same. The beam passed, almost touching lightly their bangs. – Good grief, you two are really… After she confirmed the two separated. Claire sighed greatly. ※※※ – The training grounds are planned to be reopened the day after tomorrow desu. Until then, I prohibit you as the order of the president to train whether you use energy or not masuwa. Page 137 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
– Eh, why? Won’t our bodies grow dull? – As if that were to happen desuwayo! Besides, it will be for two days, so be patient. Naturally, today’s training ends here. Return to Charlotte quickly. – Uuu, fine… Emilia tried to leave the courtyard of the dormitory while pouting her lips. She turned her head on the way and, – I guess that’s all, Hayato. Night. See you tomorrow. She waved her hand to Hayato. – O-okay … Hayato responded, raising his hand a bit. However, He couldn’t smile. On the contrary, his cheeks stiffened. Because Claire was observing them next to him. Eventually, and after the figure of Emilia disappeared. – Err, I… – Get in the dorm. Tomorrow you’ll be doing repair work from the morning. – Ah, yes! Well then, good night president! Hayato saluted and entered the dorm from the rear entrance as if escaping. – Dear God, there’s no moment I can take my eyes off them desuwane… Claire muttered with a small voice as she looked at the gradually disappearing and retreating figure of Hayato. Page 138 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
– I was finally able to be alone with Kisaragi Hayato and yet, I almost couldn’t talk to him… I wasted it. Even if I think about it, it’s too late now. (What am I really doing masuno?) Claire sighed greatly again. Liddy and Erika walked to the car waiting in front of the dormitory. Page 139 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Approximately 5000 years ago Part 5 Maria, who took the form of visiting the village, appearing out of nowhere every day, she now spent a few days in the village in a row. The spaceship had air control functions, it was comfortable no matter what its condition was, but, at any rate, it was too small, she had to sleep while sitting. Meanwhile, a house and a bed made of straw were prepared for her in the village. Both were taught by Maria and made by the inhabitants. They also prepared other things, even simple dishes came out.

Maria, who moved to where the spaceship was, checked the surroundings for caution’s sake, then moved the leaves of the trees she used to camouflage it out of the way and opened the hatch. One week without seeing the spaceship――. She realized there was something the same time she sat down on the chair. 《There is one incoming item》 That was displayed on the screen. (Is this perhaps――) She touched the monitor, inflating her chest with expectation. Maria felt like her whole hair stood on end the moment she saw what was displayed there. She was excited, her feelings got worked up. – … Glen… Maria whispered with a tearful voice as she stroked the characters displayed on the monitor with her hand. What she imagined was someone who caught her rescue signal and sent a transmission. However, the name of the displayed sender was『Glen Harver』. The name of Maria’s lover. – Oh… Glen…! It crossed many galaxies. Ran through tens of thousands of years. The message that arrived from Glen. Page 142 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com
