Chapter 2: The Radiant Goetia

Part 1

“----shi+dou’s ?”

In a middle school classroo her cellphone onto her ears

The chi and Kotori received a transmission from <fraxinus>> on her cellphone

She felt soe about it and picked up the phone i into her black ribbons-----she then heard a report from her subordinates

“What do you mean? It’s school time now you know?”

“Yeah…………That should be the case but, judging by analyst Murasame’s report ……… he went back 1 hour before class ”

“He went back early?”

“Yes Froaed schools……”

“What did you say……?”

Kotori raised her eyebrows It's ie schools without telling shi+dou anything about it

But-----it’s not like she had no clue about the reason for the strange event Yes, the last tiroup hen she earing the DEM CR-unit

Origami opposed DEM before to protect shi+dou once but, she could not deny the chances that Origaht have make some kind of secret with DEM

Or ot brainwashed by DEM That’s because, the enemy was that DEM industries It’s not weird if they did so like that

shi+dou probably thought of the sa as Kotori There was no way that he could stand still and went looking for Origami

“That idiot……he didn’t tell us anything……”

After Kotori clicked her tongue in irritation, she continued her words softly to avoid having the surroundings hear her

“A disappearance at this tiotten kidnapped by the DEM------how are the girls?”

“Yes……Tohka-chan, the Ya lunch in their respective schools Natsumi-chan went out with Yoshi+no-chan to play in the city”

“I see ----They ht not be uneasy yet but, we can’t keep the Anyways, use all personnel and look for shi+dou’s whereabouts I will head back to <fraxinus>> soon too We have to find hio home no matter what”

“Roger!”

Her subordinate’s reply came from the phone’s receiver After Kotori ended the call, she put her phone into her pocket and separated from the wall

And while changing her ribbons, she walked towards her friends eating their bentos with their tables joined together

“Ah, Kotori-chan, you finished your call?”

“Who was it? Your brother?”

Her friends asked her Kotoridown on the spot while holding her stomach

“U……unnn”

“Wh-what’s wrong Kotori-chan, are you okay?”

“I-I feel a little sick……sorry, I a back early today………can you tell teacher for me?”

“I don’t o to the nurse room?”

“It’s okay Okay then, I a on you”

Kotori took her bag whileout of the classroom and----aimed towards the rooftop instead of the entrance

Part 2

“……u-uh……”

After releasing a soft radually opened his eyes

“Where…am I…”

His vieas hazy shi+dou tried raising his right hand to rub his eyes and-----he raised his eyebrows

His right hand wouldn’this arms forward as if both his wrists were connected behind him

After 10 seconds Right in theclearer, shi+dou noticed his hands were handcuffed behind hi on a chair What’s more in a polite manner, he was fastened to the chair with a rope around the torso, and incidentally, the legs of the chair were fixed into the ground It was a persistent handiwork that gave him the impression that they did not want to let shi+dou out no matter what happens

“What the heck is this………”

Luckily, he was not blindfolded or gagged After shi+dou grumbled, he slowly turned his head and looked around the place that he was in

It was the corner of a dark, abandoned building There were cracks on the wall and a part of the ceiling was da off an aura that this place ay fro time

Just as he captured in a place like this? shi+dou twisted his head at that basic question------and immediately, he recalled the events that occurred before he fainted

“Oh yeah, I was chasing after Origami……”

Just when shi+dou said that, the door in front of hiiii sound

When he looked over there as he got attracted by the sound, he noticed Origa there

“Origa-----“

shi+dou said that before gasping

“Don’t tell me you really joined DEM…!?”

“………”

After Origa on the floor and started looking inside of it

“Wh-what are you……!”

He had no clue what she was going to bring out but, if Origami has really involved herself with the DEM then, shi+dou will probably be in soun, knife, or maybe truth serum………various ideas flew into shi+dou’s mind instantly

But,

“-----here”

“Heh…?”

In response to shi+dou’s predictions, the object Origaht out was a PET bottle filled with mineral water

“Wha-what’s this”

“Water You’re thirsty right?”

Within this extreami asked him in an extremely normal manner shi+dou raised his eyebrows in reflex fro

It’s true that his lips were dry but, he was hesitant to siiven to hiaze to Origa him water

Maybe Origas, she opened the PET bottle and Gulp, took a sip and drank the water inside the bottle to show hi hi similar inside

“……………”

“…………eh?”

No He rong Origaht her lips closer to shi+dou’s lips like that

Yes It was like…………she was going to transfer the water to his mouth

“S-Stop! I get it! I’ll take it! I’ll take it so let me drink it normally!”

“I see”

After hearing shi+dou’s words, Origahtly disappointed expression She then handed over the opened PET bottle to him

“Here”

“A-aahh, then slowly-----Muguuuf!?”

Without hearing the end of shi+dou’s words, Origami shoved the PET bottle into shi+dou’s ht back since it was pushed towards him suddenly and he drank the water poured into his mouth like that

“…………”

After confirami pulled her hands back in satisfaction And for some reason, she licked thethe lid back on

He was curious about that action but……………well, forget it He coughed violently as if he was choking before, looking back at Origaain

“………so for starters, can you let o”

“I can’t do that”

Origah shi+dou said that

But, that reaction ithin his expectations shi+dou slightly rocked his body and continued talking

“Ah---……I get it I get it Then can you at least unravel the rope one ti my handcuffed hands forward?”

“Sorry Please stay that way a little longer”

“Please I have the urge to go to the toilet froht?”

“……………”

When he said that, Origa before taking a PET bottle out froain

For an instant, he thought she was going to o toilet but----he rong shi+dou felt so was off ia

Origa shi+dou

“O-oi……?”

Even though shi+dou said that with sweat flowing down his cheeks, Origami did not stop She placed the PET bottle on the floor before placing her hands on shi+dou’s belt and KachaKacha was opening it whilethat sound

“Gyaaaaaaaaaaa! Gyaaaaaaaaaaa!”

Having guessed what Origa the chair

“Hey! Its okay like I thought! It’s okay!”

“………I see”

When shi+dou shouted, Origa his belt

“Haa………Haa……”

shi+dou took a deep breath after breathing heavily and------calami

There was a s he wanted to say but……now isn’t the ti in a soft tone

“………Origami”

“What”

“………Are you in DEM now?”

“Yes”

Origaot let-down at her acting as if all this was nothing

“Yes………wait, you should knohat that place is right?”

“A rough idea”

“Then----“

“-----To get power”

“Power……?”

After shi+dou brought his eyebrows closer, Origa blandly

Due to her continuous pile up of disobeying orders, they finally decided to discipline Origami

And----in order to continue being a Wizard, there was no other way but to join the DEM

“But even so…it’s too dangerous!”

“I had no choice-----There is no other way to gain power to defeat the Spirits”

In a quiet……a shockingly quiet tone, Origami moved her lips shi+dou could notthat

Most likely, Origami has a clearer picture of the company called DEM industries than shi+dou She probably knows about agony and suffering that shi+dou could only think of since a long tio On top of that-----she chose this current situation It wasn’t rejection It wasn’t retaliation shi+dou just felt a type of shi+ver when he heard Origami’s bland voice

But, he can’t go down like this shi+dou coughed to regain his coain

“……Then, kidnappingto do with me?”

“……………”

After shi+dou said that, Origa her head side-ways

“It wasshi+dou here This matter is totally unrelated to DEM Company”

“Eh………?”

shi+dou’s face was smeared with bewilderment

“What do youthis”

“Personally, it was not etic for this”

Origa her words

“It was an unavoidable procedure In order to avoid dragging you into this, this was themethod”

“Wa-wait a second What are you saying? In order to avoid dragging me in………? What the hell is that about!”

Origa her deter her lips

“----It’s the fight between me and the Spirits”

“Wha……!”

shi+dou opened his eyes wide in astonishment

“Sp-spirits……and, who are they”

“Spirits are Spirits Of course----“

Origaht breath before continuing on

“----Yatogami Tohka and the rest are no exemptions”

“………uh!”

shi+dou gasped Even though it was just a few moments since he drank water, his throat was oddly dry Dokundokun his heartbeat started beco harder and it

Fighting with Spirits And----Killing the Spirits

Now that he thinks about, these were the words Origa ever since he firstthe Spirits so, this was normal Of course, shi+dou has heard those words countless times already

But----why

He never would have ih those ords he was used to hearing

“Wai-wait Origaet is the Spirit that killed your parents 5 years ago right!? Tohka and the girls are not related in this!”

“----They are still spirits They are dangerous In order to avoid ain, their existence cannot be forgiven”

“Wha………! Tohka and the rest shouldn’t have any spirit readings on theet them in that condition, you said-----“

“That’s the policy the higher ups in the JGSDF gave That’s also not my problem anymore now that I am out of the AST”

“Guh……!”

shi+dou groaned while puckering his face It’s just as he says Origaher ups reluctantly

Now that he thinks about it, Origami’s actions were no different from the start She hates Spirits, detests Spirit, and wants to kill the Spirits

But-------it can’t be helped for shi+dou to think that those actions were very warped

Of course, the factor of shi+dou not wanting Origa However, even if he takes that point away, he still feels an odd feeling coami’s words

shi+dou so and talked in a very calm tone

“……Hey, Origami It’s already more than half a year since Tohka transferred into our school right?”

“…………”

Of course, Origaaze was a little different fro

“Ti with have mixed into this world you know? Of course Tohka wasn’t the only one Yoshi+no, Kaguya, Yuzuru, Natsu as [Humans]”

shi+dou said it as if he was urging her

“Origa theoing to say they have to be killed because their existence are dangerous…!?”

“…………………uh”

Origami twitched her eyebrows for the first time, when shi+dou said that

She then sloalked to the corner of the rooaa! She punched the wall

“……I know that”

“O-Ori……?”

“Yatogami Tohka and the other Spirits are still spirits, and that didn’t change They are e--------that was supposed to be the case”

After Origa voice, she continued her ue

“I could not forgivetio on that day, I should have vowed to haveused to this situation”

After saying that, Origami punched the wall once more

“The reason why I joined DEM was not only because of the AST’s disciplinary punishment Before I could notice this situation-------I started forgiving the days with Yatogami Tohka in it”

“Wha…………”

shi+dou opened his eyes wide and cramped his voice

“Why------why is that wrong! You should know that too! Tohka and the rest just want to live a normal life!”

“………no I can’t forgive that As long as they are Spirits”

Origa her back to shi+dou in a relaxed state

“The Spirits aren’t the only thing I a to kill the me who foraain myself”

After saying that, Origaether with that sound, and fragments from a part of the wall fell off

“Wait! Origami! Please wait!”

shi+dou twisted his body while shouting desperately But the restraints that she put on carefully would not come off easily

However, he could not give up because of that If this goes on, the fight between Origairls cannot be avoided

“daami!”

shi+dou used all his strength to shake his body and shouted until his throat was close to breaking

Part 3

“--------Is it okay, Ike To let her ment”

In the highest suite roouu, Ellen Mira Mathers spoke in a quiet tone

She was a characteristic girl with light Nordic blonde hair, blue eyes, snohite skin and a slender body However, the at off the feeling of a fleeting sheltered lady, but rather it was the atmosphere of a veteran soldier

“I don’t mind”

However, the et sed up by her atmosphere and replied back in a relaxed manner

“It’s true that I plan to look at the situation for a while but, she finally decided to do soht-----well, that just happened recently anyways The bribe needed for the JGSDF becaer than usual”

It was a young man around his mid-thirties He has dark ash blonde hair and blade-sharp eyes His eyes filled with darkness couldhim feel an indescribable anxiety

Sir Isaac Rey Perae world famous company, DEM industries

“You mean that…huh”

Ellen turned slightly discouraged when she heard Westcott’s words

Nonetheless, it was only natural That’s because a few days ago, both Westcott and Ellen were close to having an artificial satellite fall onto their heads by the hands of DEM Company’s Board of directors

The situation so the er Murdoch were arrested but…………Ellen was still feeling unsatisfied because she was not given any specific orders by Westcott on how to punish them

Maybe he guessed what she was thinking, Westcott purposely shrugged his shoulders and continued talking

“Of course, I have no plans to overturn the plan we’ve been going through until now-----however, it’s also true that I want the data that occurs in various cases We have that athered there It’s possible to turn one or two of them into Sephira crystals”

After saying that, Westcott made his mouth turn into a smile

“Also, It’s about tiet is still the Spirit Shooting down a dropping both-----You want to see how as out a power ht have to stop her before she kills off all the Spirits”

Westcott looked back at Ellen while continuing on Ellen

It was just as Westcott says Ellen also wanted to grasp the ability of that girl----Tobi+chi Origami

Although there were records of her data and AST battle records, it was to the end so the official equip is Origa the DEM industries latest CR-unit <on> That’s because, she scouted her to support her for theto come

“Understood I ork behind the scenes this time”

After Ellen said that, Westcott giggled

“You look unsatisfied”

“No that is not true”

“Whenever you lie, your eyebroill go closer so I understood immediately”

“………uh”

She immediately touched the space between her eyebroith her right hand But…………there wasn’t really any wrinkles formed there

Westcott smiled happily when he saw Ellen do that

“It’s a joke

“…………………”

Ellen put her hand back to its usual spot and this ti at Westcott

“Haha, don’t get looks so angry, my cute little Ellen-----I want you to handle a different target this time”

“…Different target?”

When Ellen asked dubiously, Westcott [Yes] nodded

“If Tobi+chi Origaets

and the rest, a hindrance will definitely disturb them”

Ellen twitched her cheeks when she heard Westcott’s words

“------<ratatoskr>”

“Exactly”

Westcott nodded

Yes, the Spirits in this city did not gather by just some kind of coincidence It was because they were under the protection of the organization that protects Spirits----<ratatoskr organization=””>

And they know that <ratatoskr> has an airshi+p that protects and observes the Spirits, handles the space quakes, and also it has the power to oppose DEM whose goal is to destroy/capture Spirits

If Tobi+chi Origaets the spirits then, there was no mistake that they will interrupt her What’s more, <ratatoskr> currently has Takamiya Mana the DEM Coaet the Spirits

“So, you want me to handle Mana?”

Westcott sloung his head when Ellen asked

“Noo”

“? Then who”

“I contacted HQ yesterday-----I told theoetia> here”

“…………!!

Ellen opened her eyes hen she heard Westcott’s words

She immediately understood Westcott’s words

“-------Are you telling me to stop the <ratatoskr> shi+p?”

“It helps that you understand fast”

Westcott raised the edge of his lips and smiled

“The fight on Arubi island, the fight at the japan branch company, and also the matter with the artificial satellite-----behind all those events, <ratatoskr>’s airshi+p was involved in There is no mistake for this tiht have to express h”

Westcott said that while shrugging his shoulders in a joking manner But Ellen replied back with her expression still not changed

“--------Is it really okay? I can’t hold back if I use <goetia> It won’t end withthem down”

“Aah I leave this matter to you Handle it as you see fit If it falls because of so like that then, it means that it's the end of their shi+p”

Ellen replied with a deep nod after hearing Westcott’s words

Part 4

The school without shi+dou ended and it was after school The clear sky during theto rain any second now Maybe it was an assist to the sunset, the surroundings was already dark

Under that sky, Tohka and the Ya towards the mansion beside the Itsuka house

“Fuun, but shi+dou really is weak huh, for heading back early Looks like I have to train him a bit”

“Consent He is really weak It is decided that he will be running starting tomorrow”

Frouya and Yuzuru’s voice could be heard in order While walking, Tohka looked behind her and sao identical girls standing beside each other

On the right, the girl was uya while on the left; the girl wasa sleepy face-Yauish if someone took a quick look at theuish thehtly lower their sights

“Please don’t say that shi+dou must have some kind of reason”

After Tohka said that, Kaguya and Yuzuru shrugged their shoulders at the same time

“Kaka, I know that It’s just a joke Well, it’s the truth that I ah”

“Question Now that I think back, I heardback early related to that?”

Yuzuru asked while tilting her head Tohka brought her eyebrows closer in a troubled manner

“Muu…………It’s true that shi+dou disappeared right after he heard that she transferred It ht be related”

Kaguya and Yuzuru both Fufuun snorted after hearing Tohka’s words

“Kuku……Just like I thought This certainly is suspicious”

“Agree It smells of a scheme”

“Suspicious? It doesn’t s like flour [10b 1]?”

“No, I don’t mean that……”

Kaguya scratched her cheeks while sas flowing down her forehead, when Tohka said that while tilting her head For soe

After walking while having that conversation, the Spiritlater

“Nu?”

Tohka stopped at that moment Beside the Mansion----in front of shi+dou’s house, there was a girl standing there

It was a tall girl in a sailor unifor by the wind She has meaty proportions like a model and a lovely face However, that expression noas being clouded in boredom

“------ahh”

It seelooirls with both her hands spread out

“Tohka-saaaaan, Kaguya-saaaaan, Yuzuru-saaaan”

“””………!!”””

Tohka, Kaguya, Yuzuru felt danger at the sairl charged at theed the telephone pole just like that

“Nguh! Moou, why did you dodge it”

After saying that, [Puu--] she pouted her lips and while irl let out an unsatisfied voice

She had a beautiful voice which sounded like a clear bell But it isn’t any surprise at all; she's currently japan’s most popular top idol while at the sairl academy; she was called Izayoi Miku

“No, before that, why did you charge at us!?”

“Eeh? It’s obviously a hug It’s a display of my affection”

Tohka asked her with a shout and Miku replied back as if it was normal

“I-is that so……?”

“That’s right Everyone does it Come on, Tohka-chan too”

After saying that, Miku left the telephone pole and spread her arradually felt Miku’s words were true after looking at that open state

“Mu-muu………”

But, both sides of her shoulders got grabbed tightly from behind

“D-don’t get fooled my kinsman!”

“Warning It smells like a lie”

“………! I-it’s just like I thought!”

Tohka immediately twitched her shoulders and stopped Miku made her eyebrows look like a 八 in disappointment

“Aaaahn, no waaay You don’t have to worry; I will give Kaguya and Yuzuru a good strong hug too”
