Chapter 4 – This is Medical Treatment Until the End Desu

Part 1

A night passed after the enemy attack

{Ten thousand square meters of surface part is replaced Fourteen cos are half destroyed or coed Even the underground lifeline was also influenced to some extent, but we estimate that it will be repaired in three days}

Ataraxia’s dae report was projected on the lab’s wall

Kei’s dae was stared by Reiri and Kizuna with unpleasant feelings

{It’s fortunate that the enemy landed in the commercial area It was a weekday afternoon so there were few people going out, we can think of the hue on the R&D facilities}

“Kizuna, is your wound okay?”

Reiri looked at the bandage wrapping Kizuna’s hand and spoke

“Yeah It’s just a scratch”

Kizuna who lost his consciousness was transported to hospital, then he awoke there The state of the hospital was just like a field hospital The defense unit ht in one after another That scene was burned into his eyes People groaned while blood was flowing from their bodies People who voiced their resent tears People who beca other than a picture of pandemonium in hell

“Is that a e……”

Amaterasu and Masters couldn’t match just a lone enemy

{The current statistics are, fifteen deaths, three ht wound Others are Himekawa and Yurishi+a of Amaterasu who are currently hospitalized for exa in her own residence}

“And then, there is the dae to Masters but……Gertrude has bone fractures all over her body, as well as burns and lacerations in various parts In addition she entered ICU due to ht ar And then bruises all over her body, lacerations in various parts, it will take one month for complete recovery In any case, they cannot be counted on as battle strength We are in theout West USA for reinforceth”

The ie of the enemy called Gravel and the analysis data were displayed on the screen

{Regarding the eneic armor’s capability, ant to wait for further analysis Rather than that, the point that should be noticed the most this ti us or even occupying this Ataraxia, the enemy’s objective is Zeros, and then Aine}

Kizuna couldn’t bear it and interjected

“That one Just why are they ai for Zeros and Aine?”

Reiri shook her head

“We don’t knohy Rather I want to ask you instead You have never heard anything from Aine?”

“Eh, no……nothing at all”

“This tiain is not zero Compared to Aldea previously, this AU person called Gravel is easier to communicate with after all There are also a lot of established facts from this”

Kei nodded a little and ran her hand through the keyboard

{The eney source calledthe term [Lemuria] to refer to the world of this side, and it seeic power is strikingly severe We think that the reason they are not distancing themselves too much from the Entrances is also because of this}

“Isn’t that, just like Heart Hybrid Gear? This ic power those bunch speak about, isn’t that e called Hybrid Count?”

{Exactly Honestly there are ic arrasp of Heart Hybrid Gear’s individual na and even its individual ability That is actually baffling We can only think that so them information}

Reiri crossed her araze

“Kei, what you want to say is actually, that perhaps Hida Nayuta really had gone to AU, isn’t it?”

{It’s only reasonable to think that That’s antthe knowledge ofthe whereabouts of the professor, whichever information it is are connected to the countermeasure method of the Hybrid Count}

“In other words, you are telling us to keep progressing like this Even though yesterday ere done in that badly?”

Kei stayed quiet and pulled her chin a little

“Nee-chan, I also agree Next time, ill absolutely defeat that ene that she knows!”

“However, hoill you fight?”

“That’s……this time ere taken by surprise, so we couldn’t do Climax Hybrid If we can just use Corruption Armament, we can defeat even that Gravel!”

“But, even Corruption Armament is not invincible Aine’s Pulverizer was also blocked when it was against Aldea”

“That’s……certainly that’s true”

“Furthermore, that eneic armor, it has ability that is not inferior with our Heart Hybrid Gears The foremost matter, is that it conversely becomes harder to use Corruption Aret careless, ill be daed even more than this time”

Kizuna graoned Certainly Corruption Ar destructive power, but due to that great power, it was hard to use If it was used carelessly, it

{Reiri, I propose i the plan C}

Reiri made a complicated face

“Is it possible to be implemented?”

{It’s still in the middle of verification But, it has prospect On the contrary if this is impossible――}

Reiri put her hand on her forehead and sunk her body into the chair

“There is no other way, is that what you mean?”

Kizuna was completely unable to understand, just ere these two talking about

“Wait, what are you talking about, plan C?”

“We are going to announce it sooner or later Wait for a while”

{Look forward to it}

Rather than looking forward to it, he could only feel a bad premonition

Part 2

After Kizuna exited the lab, he returned to the dored for him

He cli elevator, walked the corridor and returned to his own roos stopped in front of a door

“Aine……”

Her examination should have finished even before him and she returned first to the dormitory Kizuna reached out his hand to knock at the door Why was the ene about it herself?

He wanted to know that However, even if he asked her it was highly unlikely that she could answer him

Even while thinking that, Kizuna knocked the door

“Aine, you there?”

After a while, a voice returned from the door

“Kizuna? What’s the h”

“Just when do you think I became a newspaper salesman!”

“That’s why, I don’t need anything like detergent”

“I’ot so I want to ask you a bit”

The door opened

“What is it?”

“It’s about the eneive me a little time?”

“……Fine then Enter”

Aine was a little hesitating, but she opened the door widely and invited Kizuna in

The make-up of the room was basically the same like Kizuna’s room However,

“That’s a lot of book”

Novel, uide and so on, books fro towers Those towers of books were soaring over the surrounding Not only book, there were also large a up

It was a great difference with the room Aine used when she was a child in Nayuta Lab

“Is all of this, data? For searching clue of the memory you recalled?”

“Yes, that’s right It’s a little scattered here, I’m sorry”

‘You call this a little?’

There was almost no space for his foot to step, he couldn’t even walk straight He moved until the sofa in front of the television with trouble, but there were also books put there Aine moved the book on the sofa to the table and built a neer

“Please, sit”

He sat on the sofa

“Aa―……err How’s it going with your search? Have you found some kind of clue, like the town or the country where you were?”

“I find nothing at all”

“Is that so……then, thing that aroused your interest, or a knowledge that you know even before reading the book, is there anything like that?”

“There is also nothing really like that But, thanks to the increase ofvideo, I was able to mostly understand, that all over the world there are ”

“That’s great”

Kizuna reflexively s of Aine’s heart became faster She turned her back to him so that her faintly colored cheek could be seen

“The, then, what’s the matter? You said you want to talk about the enemy yesterday”

“Aah, about that……that woht? That’s why, I’ about it”

Aine recalled about her exchange with Gravel, and also with Aldea

{I want to ask one thing Do you――remember your time as child?}

{Yes, yes, the current you don’t get theabout isn’t it! Aah, but there is no need to worry! Yes, leave everything to me! I will save you for sure!}

‘――Just what are they saying?’

“……Nothing I’m the one ant to ask them instead”

“Is there no clue or so inside the memory you recalled?”

Aine twitched before her body trembled

“Aine?”

While Kizuna atching Aine, her recalled a simple question

‘――Which reminds me, where did Aine come from?’

Aine was discovered in Chidorigafuchi at japan mainland when she was a child

In the end, her family couldn’t be found and they couldn’t understand, where did she co before she lost her memory

Aine faced Kizuna with a face that looked cornered

“Kizuna…you see, each tis that I think is ain, it makeslike that”

“Eh? That’s, what do you mean?”

“The me that I remembered first, a beautiful nature and a splendid city, and the large ht that they s that I remembered from the Climax Hybrid before this, a chalk white castle built on top of a waterfall, eerie black city and black castle A person that looked like a queen froantic stone statue and palanquin while waving her hand And then the figures of so ”

“That’s……certainly, that doesn’t seem like your personal experience”

“Right? On the contrary, it felt like I atching a ht that perhaps it ht be just a book I read as a child, or movie that I had seen That’s why……”

“That’s why?”

“Even if I do Cliht not be able to understand who I am Rather, perhaps it’s better to not do it anymore……”

“What do you say!?”

Those words were so he never expected to hear froe weapon

No, putting aside Aine’s thinking, he also had his own circuht appear again At that time, if Aine’s Corruption Arreat loss for their battle strength

“Not just that……recently, even Heart Hybrid felt strange somehow”

“Strange you say, strange how?”

“The time e did Heart Hybrid in the lab before this too, I felt like……like I’ It was like a haze and not really clear but, that, felt like so that I must not remember, that was how it felt That’s why……”

With a gaze as if begging hiiveness, Aine looked up at Kizuna

‘No……that’s bad’

If she didn’t do Heart Hybrid, he couldn’t expect her Hybrid Count to recover

And then, if her Hyrbid Count became zero, Aine would die

“Wait――please wait, Aine That, even memory like that is also one kind of a clue isn’t it? Certainly, you don’t understand if it’s about yourself or not, perhaps it was only about a movie scene But, basically if we understand what kind ofthat you don’t want to re like horrorlike a scary memory from your time as kid?”

“Perhaps that’s so but……I, I already――”

‘――already don’t want to do Heart Hybrid anymore’

Those words, were going to come out from her mouth even now

“Please, Aine Fro will become even fiercer At that time, Heart Hybrid and Climax Hybrid will become powerful weapon If ait for natural recovery, it’s not iht the enemy will be really hard”

“That’s, I understand that But……ah”

Kizuna e

“Are you scared, Aine?”

“Not particularly……I’……”

Aine’s hand circled on Kizuna’s back She rubbed her face on Kizuna’s chest

“Yes, I’m fine”

‘――I’m not scared anymore’

“Listen tolike an unknown dream, you will become anxious, I understand that But, no matter what kind of ht now No matter what kind of past you ree don’t you think?”

Kizuna gently separated froazed at her red eyes

The next moment, violent embarrassment rose to their faces The two of theht came out from there

‘shi+t, just how can this be eventhan Heart Hybrid!’

“The, then, I’ll go already Aah, that’s right! About e talked just now, those bunches’ aim is the Core of Heart Hybrid Gear, Aldea also said that Surely they ca just for Zeros, not for you, perhaps”

“I, I guess so……yes! That’s right, surely that’s how it is!”

Kizuna exited fro collapse around ters of books

Inside the rooh

She headed to the bedroo steps, then she laid down on the bed heavily

‘――Kizuna said those things but, those things that ca Climent of my memory There is no basis to that But, that’s how it feels

But, they are not so that I wished for

That’s why, I must not do any more Climax Hybrid

Insideloudly

But’

Aine recalled, Kizuna’s ar her, the sensation of the chest he pressed her cheek at, she traced the place where Kizuna touched with her finger

‘If Kizuna demanded it from me, I will――’

Before long sleep invited Aine, and she departed to the world of dream

And then, she whispered whiletoward the dream

“The Goddess dance……nothingness, and death, and emperor……and then……to eternity”

Part 3

Kizuna bended his body backward largely and stretched In this clear and great weather, he could see the white cloud floating in the blue sky Under that blue sky, six asses lined up were lifted high

“YO―I”

DON, together with such voices, the students rushed out Their bodies that were overfloith liveliness were running through the track of the field

Kizuna’s second year first group was in PE class

Today they were measured in track and field events, the content was to confirm their basic performance in physical ability Nevertheless, Kizuna was the only male student This PE class was far harsher than study class

Because――,

Kizuna ran through the track and looked towards his classmates

For an instant, he

Without eventhe clear depression that was the chasm of the ass, even the subtle line of the body was coht sunshi+ne without anything to hide it

That was just obvious All the students were taking the class in their pilot suit

He atching Aures daily, but usually he could only see the figure of his class around with the line of their body exposed, ap

‘No, don’t It’s just too rude to stare at them when it’s not even a duty’
