There exists a Demonic Sword that can only be made manifest by

the ‘Man-eater’

There exists an instantaneous transportation technique that can only be used by the ‘Witch of Gates’

Each equally characteristic wildcards

As a general naht Order calls them thus —

The utterly unique, Origins

Haimura Moroha saw a dream of a past life

Outside the , a blizzard raged

The sky hadn’t been clear in this area for a year

It was as though it had been plunged into a perpetual, freezing hell

In these barren wastes, stood Moroha’s castle

The cold sank deeply into the stone rooms In this atmosphere, even the fire in the hearth was frail, and the crackling of the firewood seemed lonely It seemed as if even the carpet had frozen and it was no different from a stone floor The cold was like needles, continually piercing the skin

That torture chamber like room was Moroha’s office

With no hope of birdsong, he listened to the e of the blizzard The breath he exhaled was a pure white Sat in an office chair, chilled like a casket, Moroha was reading ancient documents

In today’s dream, alone he was not

“I’m cold”

Fros, a woman’s voice sounded

It eet like honey, and tickled the ears like a feather, it was an alluring voice

It was that of a wo black hair, sprawled coquettishly into his lap

She was just in the blind spot created by the documents, and her expression wasn’t visible

However, he felt her chill and shi+vering through his thighs

“Let’s move your castle to a warmer place? Hmm, Shuu Saura”

The black haired woman called Moroha in the dream this

Shuu Saura That was Moroha’s name in a past life

In one of two

“This used to be a grain producing region”

Feigning absentmindedness, Shuu Saura continued the conversation with the woman

“Yes, that’s right Until ten years ago that is,” with her head still in his lap, she used cynicism as a child would to draw attention, “before you used the forbidden spell”

Whatever she said, Shuu Saura didn’t raise his face from the book

The woman piled on more words to try and draw attention

“With just a single spell, you turned this country into an icy hell and took tens of thousands of lives But you saved more people I am one of them I can reh it’s just a decade ago?”

Calling a decade ‘just’ was also seasoned with sarcas that seemed somewhat happy

“Hmm, Shuu Saura,your life in this icy prison and tor my body with this cold?”

As she carried on speaking, she was also continuously stroking his lap

Lovingly, teasingly

“It’s not a case of growing tired Is this not a suitable castle for I, the worlds enemy, the destroyer of order and the one loathed as the Pluto? Is not here eminently suitable?”

“So you’ll continue repenting here until you die? You really like that, don’t you?”

“I don’t knohat youfor this area”

Shuu Saura feigned indifference

Sinified that the conversation was at an end

He went to turn to a new page — but suddenly, the worabbed the documents

“In front of me, your wife, I’d like you to not behave like the bad person, you know?”

She said, with an awfully peevish tone

“If you call yourself ht, oh Witch of the Underworld?”

With a wry smile, Shuu Saura chided her childish behaviour

There was now nothing obstructing the space between them, and the woman called the Witch of the Underworld’s face was now exposed

She had a cold, inhuman beauty that made it possible to mistake her for a doll if she didn’t move

Her expression was rigid like a mask

Her voice and tone were clearly peeved but her face showed absolutely none of that emotion

“Return it”

His words short, Shuu Saura ordered, extending his hand

The woer, threw it behind her

To theunreservedly like a spoiled child Sulking

An innocence as if being feared as a witch was a lie

Shuu Saura let out an aghast sigh and then his wry smile was filled with deep affection

“Do not trouble me so much”

“I refuse, I want you to care for me more”

But the witch grew more and more peevish, and more and more reckless

“Look”

She stood and advanced on him

She suddenly opened her top and exposed two abundant breasts

Exposed and marked on her breast was a brutal brand

Har her artificially perfect beauty, a cruel blot

However, the wo out her chest to show it

“You were the one that freed me from slavery, weren’t you?”

Her honey-like voice coaxingly whispered

“Don’t you have a duty of tying me down?”

Then she took his right hand and guided it to the mark upon her breast, the proof that she was once a slave

“…Honestly”

As he looked at her like a beloved child, he reacted to her words

“You are free In this world, there exists no chain that can bind a person to another”

He softly stroked the brand on her breast

The fingertip touching the witch’s breast was gentle and loving

“I’ to you”

The Witch of the Underworld encircled his neck with her arms and straddled his lap

“Please Look at ht Until we die And then once we are reborn Forever Always”

The witch leant her slender body into hi her abundant breasts between them

“That is your atonement to me”

Her face wasartificial

However, her gazing eyes alone, they were filled with tears

In place of an answer, Shuu Saura strongly embraced her

Without touching even a finger ether, without even a kiss

Sharing a slight warmth in this frozen world

It was as if —

They were confir the connection of their souls, it was a deep, passionate embrace

There, Shuu Saura’s dream was interrupted, and Moroha awoke

“It was a bit of a waste”

The piercing cold of the room, the warmth of the woman in his arms, it was all a dream

The real Haimura Moroha was here

In the courtyard of Akane Private Acadeh-school

An academy of those who inherited their past life’s memories and superhuman abilities, Reincarnators, or Saviours

He’d fallen asleep sprawled on the lawn, basking in the sun

“So that was the Witch of the Underworld… We finally met”

With his eyes still closed, Moroha thought over the drea away from his arms, the remnants of his dream

The irreplaceable feeling, of the heat of the woman’s skin

The incomparable softness of the abundant chest

He didn’t want to lose theripped onto them

“That’s right… they were about this big”

Set in his right hand, he enjoyed a certain softness

“Ahh♥”

Suddenly, he heard an ardent, agonised sigh

From directly in front of him too

“— What?”

Moroha’s eyes flew open

His dozing and the final fragments of his slumber bleay

“Morning, Moroha”

A beautiful girl’s face vividly filled his vision

“What are you doing, shi+zuno?”

Surprised, he reflexively tried to stir, but couldn’t

The girl, Urushi+bara shi+zuno, had tightly snuggled up to hiainst his chest

He was having a nice sleep, and suddenly this happened

He always had to be on his guard

shi+zuno answered nonchalantly

“‘What?’ I’ my breasts felt up”

“I’m sorry!”

He frantically reenerous breasts hilst half asleep

“I can’t let uard down around you, can I?”

“I was half asleep I wholeheartedly apologise”

“I forgive you In fact, you can touch them more you know?”

shi+zuno took his right hand and tried to guide it towards her chest

“So? That aside, what are you doing here?”

Moroha gently took his hand back andelse

Reproaching hiuidly answered as she placed her head on his chest

“Isn’t it obvious I’ in the sun?”

With shi+zuno’s full, abundant chest glued to him like this, he was excessively aware of the a pleasant shaking feeling

He’d just felt theht the indescribable sensation in the palm of his hand back to mind

“Th-then wouldn’t here be fine?”

Moroha frantically patted the space next to him

And above all tried to persuade her that they didn’t need to embrace like this to bask in the sun

This situation wasn’t good

It really wasn’t good

“Aren’t I always telling you not to do things that will lower your value as a girl?”

“But, no one can see, you know?”

Indeed, they were alone in the courtyard

“We’re in plain view from the corridor so…”

Moroha retorted with his eyes half closed

The ht be some exceptions

“If I’, you know?”

As if confir the sensation of his chest, shi+zuno slowly rubbed her cheek on him and answered shamelessly

“Stop it with the jokes”

To get rid of the seductive s

shi+zuno didn’t answer

However, se of her mouth

She had a habit of showing the jokes

“Is it really that fun to tease me…?”

“Yes, it is So I want to be with you every day, and tease you”

Moroha was lost for words and astonished

“…Honestly, if you heard that, it’d obviously be a confession”

However, she was probably just saying she wanted Moroha as a plaything every day

What a waste

“Are you happy, Moroha?”

“Being teased every day is a real nuisance”

Moroha threw up his hands in surrender as he proclaimed

Once more, tiny, small dimples appeared on her face

Sinceher at the entrance ceremony, it had only been two months

The length of tiht be short, but they’d made deep bonds

Thus, when there was chance like this, shi+zuno would snuggle in close

So Moroha knew

Just fro herself

But normally, you wouldn’t understand

Outside of Moroha, no-one would find those dimples

shi+zuno was a girl that lacked that much in expression

“And she’s so beautiful, it’s a waste”

Who kne many times he’d been wrapped in these impressions

But there was no changing it, shi+zuno was that kind of girl

And then, that reality brought a ain

“Hey, shi+zuno,” it had once ht his question back to mind, “are you really the Witch of the Underworld?”

Who kne many times he had asked that question

When a characteristic thatbut that appeared, he would ask

And now, so had come back to mind

In the drea in expression

That witch was beautiful, but she had a mask like face

Locking eyes with shi+zuno at point blank range, they seemed to overlap

“I… can’t think it’s a coincidence”

Within this academy, Moroha had exceptionally few memories of his previous lives

Or , they were horrendously biased He only had memories in the middle of battle, he had essentially no memories of what they normally did, or what kind of families they had

For exae of the existence of the Pluto, Shuu Saura’s right hand wo’s assistant Witch, but couldn’t even remember her face

And then today, finally, heshi+zuno like this brought that back to mind, was it a stretch?

Moroha was silent and awaited her words

“Well…”

With her jaw still resting on his chest, she tilted her head

“I don’t knohat you’re talking about”

With her unreadable, mask like face

Once again

However many times he asked, she replied the same way

Saying that it was a

Moroha strained his eyes further

To not overlook even the slightest change in her facial expression

And then, whatever she was thinking, suddenly,

“Do it”

She closed her eyes and extended her head forwards, approaching Moroha’s face with her lips

“What are you thinking about!?”

Moroha placed her head firmly between his two hands

“I was sure you were going to kiss me”

shi+zuno brazenly answered, once more with small dimples

“Where did you get that idea from?”

“Was I s are hard to read after all”

“Your feelings are the ones hard to read”

Astounded, Moroha released her head

“Then, I’ll tell you what I’ now”

Suddenly, shi+zuno’s lips resumed their advance to Moroha’s

“I told you, stop playing around”

To avoid them, Moroha turned his face to the side

And was startled

The moment he turned his head, his vision was filled —

“I’d wondered where you had gone, so you were being perverted behind your sister’s back? Yeah? Hmm? Oh”

With the for on her temple

She was standing a little distance away, glaring with a scary face

She was a beautiful girl (when she wasn’t angry)

Her eyes were full of vigour (so her anger was scary), vitality flowed froer packed a punch), and her bright coloured hair was pulled up in a side-tail which she was irritably playing with

Her name was Ranjou Satsuki

In the previous life when Moroha was Flaga, Satsuki’s previous incarnation was his blood related sibling So even now she called him her brother

“Where did you hear from?”

In a cold sweat, Moroha timidly asked

“Fro to kiss me’, you pervert”

Satsuki’s mouth was drawn into a line

“Then listen to ‘Where did you get that idea from?’ as well!”

“Excuses are useless! You kiss freak, Nii-sama, womaniser!”

And above that, her eyes were narrowed

“The kiss freak is shi+zuno! How many times do you think I’ve been made her victim?”

“Ohhh, I only knew about the once Why don’t you tell ation room, mister victim…?”

Moroha suddenly looked away from her

Thanks to that, he returned to facing forwards

“Welcome back”

As if she’d been lying in wait, shi+zuno planted her lips there

“Gyah! Get away from Nii-sama, Urushi+bara!”

Satsuki bristled like a cat with its fur on end

“Anyway! What are you two sneaking out here for!?”

And as the one that accused theo?

“H in the sun”

Whilst Moroha was thinking that, shi+zuno went ahead and answered

Quicker than Moroha could correct that he wasn’t

“Then you can do that here!”

Satsuki stomped her feet there

“Why do you need to cling to him like that!?”

“Hold on a minute, you probably don’t know, but the topic’s already looping, Satsuki”

“Just how far ahead are you getting!?”

Satsuki really was liable to do anything, Moroha’s face clouded

“It’s like that, so don’t get in the way, little sister”

As shi+zuno added fuel to the fire, Moroha’s face grew cloudier

“I-I-I-I-I’ll sleep wit— I mean bask in the sun with you! That shouldn’t be in the way, right!?”

With stea from her head, she drew in close

Still lying down, Moroha was sandwiched by Satsuki and shi+zuno

“See, go over there, Urushi+bara!”

Pushi+ng at shi+zuno, Satsuki took his chest and placed her head heavily down

“That would be getting in the way, Ranjou-san”

shi+zuno pushed Satsuki and reclaimed his chest

“I’ht of precedence!”

Satsuki pushed her off again and drew a boundary that Moroha couldn’t see

Of course, one giving herself plenty of space

“Considering you came afterwards, don’t you think that’s shameless?”

shi+zuno redrew the boundary on Moroha’s chest

Of course, one that gave her nearly the entire area

“It’s got nothing to do with order!”

“Then it has nothing to do with family connections either, does it?”

Satsuki and shi+zuno see the other’s boundaries

A war for territory on Moroha’s chest

Eachto back down

“If you go even slightly past there, it’s war!”

“Oh, I accept I’ll turn your territory into scorched earth”

“You pair, don’t turn my chest into scorched earth”

Moroha co a person’s body as a toy

“Split it evenly, evenly! That’s fair then”

“…Tch”

“If it’s Moroha’s arbitration, there’s no choice but to listen”

Satsuki and shi+zuno both lay down arms and cordially shared Moroha’s chest

“Just what a…?”

Looking at both beautiful girls on either side, Moroha realised he hadn’t solved the problem at all

“Honestly, do they get on well, or badly…?”

Each lay their head on half of his chest like twins, watching therumbled to himself

Certainly fro at them, they were on tenterhooks but, at the same time, Moroha hiain

Just then—

“Alert, ency, japanese Branch has formally requested dispatch of the Strikers All ather in the schoolyard”

An announcer’s voice sounded from the various speakers around the courtyard

Moroha’s drowsiness vanished and his eyes sharpened

“Let’s go”

shi+zuno smoothly stood

“Gu gu gu, just ere getting to the good bit…”

Whilst she regretfully and spitefully spoke, she gathered her willpower and stood

“Do your best, Nii-sa you on so do the most”

Then she stretched a hand out to Moroha

“Of course, I need to earn es”

Moroha answered without enthusiasrabbed her hand and stood

That’s right, shi+zuno had dressed it up in jokes, but Moroha wasn’t basking in the sun

He was preparing for the battle that was about to start, resting his body and awaiting orders

He brushed off the dust on his combat uniform

The dust danced, and bleay in the wind, just like the sweet content feeling from earlier

Accoirls, he resolutely strode to the schoolyard

In the courtyard, there were already twelve students clad in combat uniform

“We’re all here then”

Standing right in the centre was a tall, lean man who saw Moroha and nodded

He was a third year with a hard face but an honest countenance

His nai Jin
