”I'll leave this est Wizard that is second to none If it is you, you'll definitely be able to accomplish it Nothat causes the atrocity of destroying the world”
Ellen
”That is a given No matter who the opponent is, I will never lose”
It was an expected answer that fit his expectations hmhm Westcott made a pleasant smile
Part 2
Taking a short breath, Takamiya Mana slowly opened her eyes
Ither eyes for a long time, but her vision was blurry like a mosaic
She could not properly exert strength with her body, and her whole body ached with a dull pain
”Where……am I………?”
In one moment, the voice she made with her throat, sounded like someone she didn't know Her dry throat and the buzz in her eardrunize her own voice The only other thing left was her own brain, which probably could not recognize her own voice That type of stupid thought passed through her head
Taking a few seconds, Mana came to her senses, and confirmed the situation that she was in
A white rooes, her left arm had drips attached to it and her en mask
There were electrodes stuck onto her chest, and the Electro-Cardiograularly
Mana unintentionally made a dry smile No matter how she looked at it, she was a patient in a critical condition
”Why am, I, in such a………?”
She said up to there, and Mana opened her eyes wide She tore off the oxygen mask, and raised her pain stricken body
She then turned her neck, and turned her eyes to the digital clock placed on a shelf
——14:00 7/5 WED
”July…………fifth……!?”
Looking at the date displayed on it, Mana gasped
Either the clock was broken or so the date, if that is not the case
Alhth school
Yes At that time, Mana was defeated and driven away by the real Kuruel
The only other people that were at that place with Kuruaht that, there was probably no one that was able to overturn that situation Namely to say that means……………
”Onii-sama……!”
Mana forcefully pulled out the electrodes stuck to her chest and the drip that was poking into her left arra
And finally at thatbasic
”Why am……………I, not dead…………?”
It was certain that her body hurt Her vision was hazy It was hard to say that her whole body's senses were in perfect condition
But——She was alive
She was exposed, defenseless, to that htmare>, yet she still survived
Which means, the situation became unnecessarily incomprehensible By the time Mana lost consciousness, the battle situation was at it's worst possible state
On top of the school's rooftop, inside the deepest part of Kuruel that controls time was enshrined there
It was a despair-like situation that anyone can see from just one look There is probably no battle potential that exists in this world, that can defeat that monster
But if that was the case, it still does not explain why she is still alive——Unless that perverted woe, with a reason like it was her ohim that chose not to do it
Mana placed her hands on her aching head Even if she was still alive, she didn't knohether or not the others were out of danger What on earth happened to everyone there?
”………………Eh?”
And——Mana, as ihts,her eyebrows
The door of the sickroo black suits entered
”——Takaht?”
”…………Who are all you people? You people are a little dark for a doctor or a nurse”
Mana aze, and the men in black did not move an inch
”You will coh we do not want to resort to violence, if you were to resist, ould have no choice”
”………Aah?”
Mana distorted her face in a bad lared at the man that said that
”Do you knoho you are talking to? Resort to violence? Against me? Haa, Try it if you like”
She said that and stood up, and shaking her wrists to get accustomed to her body
”Taka?”
The nurse opened the sickroom door——and froze in her place
”Eh?”
She saw soraht noas empty
On top of the disarranged bed, the reen mask and the electrodes, the drips from the needle were scattered around, and a small i on it just a few o
But, whether she turned her head to the left or right, or even looked under the bed, she could not find the supposedly unconscious patient in the room
The nurse rushed over to the pillow side of the bed, and pushed the button to call the nurse
Part 3
”Its over——”
The sa echoed in the school area, Itsuka shi+dou fell onto the table as he used up all his energy There is probably s out of his head
But that was only normal That is because shi+dou had just now finished his end-term exam, one of school-life's formidable enemies
”Okay Okay, don't slacken up yet Please stack the answer sheets starting from the back”
clap clap the teacher with glasses standing at the teacher's desk raised her voice and clapped her hands She was the class' homeroom teacher, Okamine Tamae, nicknamed Tama-chan
The students raised their bodies like zombies and passed their sheets to the seats in front of them in sequence
Although shi+dou felt that the zoe but, that was also normal
In addition to the fact that this was an exao all the students in this school were sent to the hospital at once
At the end of last month, there was a case where, the students and staff members that were in the Raizen school, all collapsed into unconsciousness
After a thorough investigation fron substance that was released fro was called off but……………mercilessly, the schedule for the end term examination's did not move even one day
”……………hmm?”
And, during the time he placed his answer sheet onto the stack of other answer sheets and passed it to the front, he happened to see the girl as sitting to his right Just like what shi+dou did a few moments before, fell on the desk, she threw herself on top of the table
”Tohka, are you okay?”
”U, umu…………”
When shi+dou tried to talk to her, Tohka raised her head dizzily
”How did it go?”
”Mu……ht”
With an exhausted face, Tohka fluttered her hand
In the irl that only scribbled in the answering sheet (Reine et a redof a test, she said that she illing to do her best and started studying It seemed like, she didn't like the fact that shi+dou was studying while she did nothing at all
It seemed that on the <ratatoskr>, they also wished that Tohka would voluntarily take that action, there was a study meet planned in the Itsuka house before the test but…………………as expected she hadshe was not used to
In reality, one hour into the studya fever It was a real fever that brings an intellectual growth spurt
”Okay, now then, all exah Good work everyone”
Tama-chan raised her voice And the sound of cheers and breaths of relief came from inside the classroom
”But, since there are soo back?”
Taed the stack of answer sheets before leaving the classroom
And,with that, Tohka wobbly stood up from her chair all dried up
”shi+dou………let me drink, some water”
”O,Ou Are you okay?”
”Umu………don't worry about it I'm just a little tired”
Tohka said and stumbled to the classroom door with tired footwork, she then opened the door and walked into the corridor
”Haha……well, she did try hard after all”
shi+dou sighed after seeing off Tohka's back, and then leaned back in to his chair——twitch he then twitched his eyebrows
The reason was si at his left side entered the side of his view
It was a girl hite colored hair that stopped and tickled the tip of her shoulders And because her head was turned left——looking towards the s, he couldn't catch a gliine that there was not a single sign of expression on her face
Tobi+chi Origami She was shi+dou's classanization that hunts down Spirits
”………u”
Although he did not do anything at all, there was a creaky pain on his heart He unintentionally distorted his face
After the end of last ami at all
Soet away, he felt that he would miss the chance to have a conversation with her
He gathered his resolve and opened his mouth
”O………Origami”
When shi+dou called her na towards him
”——what”
And then, with her usual soft and accent-less voice, she replied
He wondered why, but he was a little relieved looking at Origami's state
But, after she stopped talking, there was silence between shi+dou and Origami
”E,errrr”
It can't be helped if she wants to keep quiet like this shi+dou was trying to ask her about what happened after the last event that occurred
But, as expected he could not have that kind of conversation in the classroom where the other classmates could overhear them
Fortunately there was some time left until homeroom started, and Tohka had stepped out of her seat After shi+dou sed the saliva in his throat, he once again opened his mouth
”Origao to a place where both of us can be alone for a bit?”
”……………………”
At the tiami moved her eyebrows
”A place, where both of us——can be alone?”
And for some reason, she said it with the words separated from one another
”Aah Look, even on the stairs where we had our last talk would be oka——”
”——come”
Origarabbed shi+dou's hand with all her strength and walked out
”O,oi, Origami”
Even if he called Origa at the stairs that lead to the roof, their footsteps echoed in the deepest part of the school building where no one was around
And then just like that, Origairls' washroo
”No, stop for a bit!”
”What?”
By the tiami tilted her head in curiosity
”Since this place is quite far fro test time”
”No, that ht the case, but even so!”
”Do not worry”
”Wai, Sto——no seriously, where are you planning to bring me!?”
There was no point in resisting With shi+dou's hands being pulled, he was then brought to the furthest toilet cubicle just like that, and Kachin the door was locked
”………errrr”
He was facing Origami in this space that was obviously not supposed to be for more than 2 people, Sweat dripped down shi+dou's cheeks And, at the edge of his vision, it see to move around
”Origami, what are you——”
He said, and gasped
But that was only norami used both her hands and inserted them into the inside of the sides of her skirt, and just like that she pushed her white underwear halfway down her legs
”Wai, Wait a second! STOP! I'll wait outside if you are planning to do your business!”
”………………?”
But Origami tilted her head and made a face that shi+dou's reaction was out of her expectations
And then Pon she clapped her hands together, and pulled back her underwear back up, this time she crouched down And then extended her hands towards shi+dou's waist, KachinKachin she then unfastened the s of his belt
Hii! He gasped, and grabbed both of Origami arms in a panic to stop her
”What are you doing! What are you doing!”
”…………? Then, why did you bringing me to a place like this?”
”You're the one that brought ht!?”
He was shouting while al
”I………just want, to talk about thelast month”
”………aah”
When shi+dou said that, it was as if Origami caretful face
”…………What did you think I was going to do?”
”That is,”
”As expected you don't have to say it, I'm sorry”
”I see”
Origaht and looked at shi+dou's face, and quietly opened her mouth
”——the results of the interrogation, I have been sentenced to 2 months of house arrest”
”Eh?”
”It is about the thing after that event”
”House arrest…………which means, you don't have to quit the AST!?”
When shi+dou spoke in a surprised voice, Origami tilted her head to the front in silence
”I see…………you didn't get fired huh”
He placed his hands on his chest, and ami rocked her eyebrows
”Why did you react like that?”
”Ah, no………………it's certain, that it is true I wonder why too”
shi+dou said that, and scratched his head, troubled
shi+dou supposedly didn't want Origaht the Spirits If it was possible, he wished that she would pull out from the AST, but even so
For soami's mouth, he was a little relieved
”——it's not like I have come to terms with it”
”……………uh”
Hearing Origaasped
It was probably because he guessed what she was going to say in an instant
”The fire Spirit, freet> You said that she was not the Spirit that killed both my parents ——However, there is no definite evidence that proves it”
”……………, that is………”
To kill the Spirit that killed her parents, Origami enlisted in the AST
Last ht was the target of her revenge It was shi+dou's sister——Kotori
And of course, Origaulations, just to attack and kill Kotori
But at that moment, shi+dou reo The i covered in flames And the——the presence of another Spirit
”It is true that this ht be the case But………I want you to believe me I will never lie to——”
”Don't mistake me It's not like I don't believe what shi+dou said I want to believe, in what you said ——and also, if I had to say it, then, I think I hat you said to be true”
”Eh………?”
”If possible I also don't want to kill your sister”
”Origami……………”
After shi+dou opened his eyes wide in an instant, she gripped his fist hard and he lowered his head a little
”——Thank you, Origami”
”That is, my line”
Origa her intentions, shi+dou made a faint frown
After Origalance back to its normal place, she moved her mouth with a bit of hesitation
”I' to me normally”
”……………no, you”
”I'm the human that tried to kill your sister ——No, even before 3 o, I was almost about to kill you”
”………………………”
shi+dou , and scratched his head in a mess
”Don't worry about it………………and I can't say soht of talking to you like I always do——is it no good?”
When shi+dou asked that, for alike hesitation before, Swingswing swinging her head to the side
”Un”
shi+dou folded his hands together and once again tilted his head forward
”Well then, how about going back to the classroo to start soon too”
”——wait There is onethat I want to confirm with you”
”Hmm, what is it?”
When shi+dou adjusted his posture by turning to face backwards and said that, Origami stared at shi+dou
”——shi+dou Are you, human?”
”………………uh”
He unintentionally shortened his words ——but, he had pretty much predicted that question
”From before, I felt it was a little weird At that time, there was no mistake that I shot you ……………however, after a few days, you ca that time at the amusement park”
Yes On the day that Origami assaulted Kotori shi+dou sealed Kotori's Reiryoku, and on top of that showed Origaenerative abilities, he also told her that
---Kotori now is human, and freet>'s power is with me
---That's why; if you are going to target soet me instead
”Guh……”
Thinking about it, shi+dou was quite reckless at that time
Although there was no other choice but to persuade Origami, he had just exposed his secret to her, a member of the AST which opposes the Spirits
Origa at his expression; she opened herfor shi+dou words
”Relax I did not report that to the higher ups”
”Uh, is that so?”
When he asked her, Origa at that moment
”But, ould…………”
”I can't just leak out uncertain infor the team members And also, if by any chance you are confirmed as a Spirit, there is a chance that there will be a suppression order against you”
”…………uh!”
HeartbeatHis heartthat word meant Which means——the AST will, thetheir entire powers come to kill shi+dou
But, that was a reasonable matter That's because, he can seal the Spirits' power, and although it was just a little portion of it, he was able to use so that would conclude that he is a Spirit
However——
”I………am human At the very least, I think I am”
shi+dou unintentionally expressed what Kotori usual said but, there was no other way to say it
”I see”
”…………you don't doubt it?”
”I told you before, I want to believe the words you say”
She turned her neck a bit to peek at shi+dou's face, and then continued
”So reater detail”
”………Sorry Thanks”
When shi+dou said that, Origami opened the cubicle door and then exited the washroom
A moment later, shi+dou realized that he was left alone in an unbelievably dangerous zone, while relentlessly looking around to exas; he hurried and ran out of the washroom But, when he was about to return back to the classrooami and walked in to the corridor,
”…………shi+dou?”
Hearing the sound of a doubtful Tohka co from behind, shi+dou twitched his shoulders out of surpirse
”To,Tohka……”
It see a drink and was suspiciously alternating between looking at shi+dou and Origarim face
”…………………Why did shi+dou and Tobi+chi Origami, come out from the female toilet?”
”guh!”
In an instant, sweat gushed out of his face They had been completely discovered
”N,no, that is……errr…………”
shi+dou tried explaining the situation to her but; there were already stares fro around the untactful
”……………………”
And, while being silent, Origanal to shi+dou
”What was that just now! What on earth did the both of you do!?”
”Not telling This is a secret between the two of us”
”Wha,What did you say!?”
Origaht it to the front of her nose Looking at that coami, Tohka widened her eyes and shouted Iaze in shi+dou's direction
”shi+dou! What were the both of you doing!”
”Eh!? No………errr, it's about,”
shi+dou unco it with Tohka but…………having 40 weak students gathering at the classroom s, he was reluctant to continue with the conversation just now
”………Sorry, I'll tell you later”
”!!”
With no other choice shi+dou lowered his head Tohka round after a dramatic [GAN!] effect appeared behind her
”To,Tohka!”
”Uu,uuuuuuuuuuuu………………why is it, why is Tobi+chi Origami okay, but I'm not…………”
She groaned in frustration, and clenched her teeth
”Ca,calm down! Later! I'll tell you all about it later!”
”Re,really………?”
”Really! Really!”
Her legs folded, falling on her knees When he appealed to her by waving his hands in panic, he soed to raise Tohka's anxious face up, but
”…………can't say It's because I waslike that”
Froami words, Tohka's eyes widen in shock
”shi+,shi+dou…………? What on earth, did you………”
At the sa from around him
[Ee--…………Itsuka-kun's the worst] [It's the first time I saw Tobi+chi-sanin the school in this clear afternoon] [Although you have someone like Tohka-chan you still………………] [daroup or the chlorine?] [Hurry up and request hymn number 13]
”No, I didn't do anything to her! And the second half! What are you trying to do!”
He raised a voice filled with excuses However, the persistent stares co from around did not completely stop
And, at thatco from behind him, and Tama-chan appeared
”Okay, okay, please get back to your seats Homeroom is about to start”
”!, Loo,look Tohka! Go back to your seat for now! Okay!? Everyone too!”
It was a help from the heavens above shi+dou made unnecessary loud shouts, and took the initiatives by hi down on his chair
Everyone had so to say but, it couldn't be helped since the had teacher arrived, so they returned to their respective seats
Tohka […………you have to fillon her spot
After looking at the situation, Tale leak out
”Ara——, looks like you were having fun What were you doing with everyone?”
”Nothing, don't worry about it……………”
shi+dou was saying that with sweat oozing out, Ta at the teachers' seat
”Well then, I a ho we have to decide first”
”Yes~ what are going to be deciding?”
Tonoh, and threw a question Ta
”assigning the class groups for the school trip, and the seating arrangement in the airplane”
”………………ah”
The moment Tama-chan said that, shi+dou raised his voice
Speaking of which, the middle of July was——just before su for them
From the mass unconsciousness incident to the end-ter the Spirits, he had totally forgotten about this school life's greatest event
Nonetheless, it looked like shi+dou was not the only one Around one third of the class, [Ahh—………now that you mention it] nodded just like shi+dou
”Fufufu, everyone's so forgetful huh~ Now, let's hurry and——oh, yeah”
And, Ta, and took out a printout that was placed in the attendance book
”Before that ——the location for the school trip this tied”
””Eh?””
The voices in the classroom beautifully piled up
That was only normal That's because there was only half a e the location of the trip at the last minute was unheard of
”Hmm…………well it seems that would be the case”
”Errrrr, so, what did they change the location to?”
Once again, Tonomachi threw a question
Yes Although he was a little curious as to why the
