Chapter 4 – The De of Lemuria

Part 1

The i tall inside that ied into Hida Nayuta’s research place right now Several research facilities was built and all the ic power that was sent fros were built in haste, so they only had few decorations cole one was built like rectangle block, like a piled up dices

Hida Nayuta was inside one of those blocks

She stayed sitting on a chair and stared at a , but hectic processing was carried out in the monitor It was an interface that could possibly be operated only with her brain wave and eye ic technology of Vatlantis

What made Nayuta surprised was how computer was nonexistent in Vatlantis There was extremely rudimentary electron calculation e scale infor

This world suddenly obtained result fro like basic technology Even without calculation or anything, sorcery technology could s

Magic technology that ht as miracle fro impossible was impossible, there was such a clear conclusion In other words asorcery, couldn’t be i another y other than sorcery didn’t develop The weak point that Nayuta pointed out was that

When Nayuta saw the Genesis for the first tiht that she wanted to read the letters that were carved on its surface However, the scholar of Vatlantis all answered that it was impossible in unison The reason was because it was already a lost language, that was it

That hy, Nayuta thought of trying to translate the ancient letters with her own strength For that sake she created the ic computer in this research facility

But, the problem was the first clue Even if just a part, if she could understand thethat ritten, it was possible to start deciphering from that point

If she could decipher the letters, surely she could elucidate the secret of this Genesis Not just that, the Core ofOOPart, and then even the secret of this world itself ht be unraveled

That was the thing that Nayta wanted to know for now

Suddenly, she felt a presence inside the room

“……My, Valdy Welcome home”

The door opened soundlessly and Valdy entered the research room

“I’m home……here”

Valdy lowered the bag she shouldered and took out a lithograph from inside

“This is……this is the one”

It was the lithograph that was inside Baldein castle Nayuta put her hands together happily

“You did really well Valdy You are really nificent”

Valdy’s face turned red from those words and stroked her hair shyly

“Err……so, what is this lithograph going to be use for?”

“It’s for disclosing everything Regarding this world, the pillar, and the Core”

“If we do that……Vatlantis be saved won’t it?”

“Yes That’s right”

Valdy murmured with tears in her eyes

“If that really become reality……then Nayuta-sama, is a God”

“My……I became a demon and now a God, how busy that is”

Nayuta smiled amusedly However suddenly smile vanished from her lips

“But――perhaps I will really become it, a God that is”

Saying that, she aze to the monitor once more

That appearance was slightly different froht doubtfully, but she didn’t think about it deeply The reason was, Nayuta had never been wrong until now Nayuta had never for even once did so that she didn’t wish for

Valdy came to have faith in Nayuta With eyes that were like a child looking at herat Nayuta’s face from the side

Part 2

At a spot several hundred kilometers from Britain, Ataraxia came to a stop

{We are completely sandwiched}

The text that Kei displayed and the map the was displayed behind her made Reiri and Kizuna flowed cold sweat

Receiving eathered inside the center control room of Nayuta Lab

The map with Ataraxia in the center also projected two enemies One enemy appeared fro from behind Both enemies would still take time until they ca to the information from the unmanned reconnaissance drone, it was obvious that both were co with Ataraxia as their aim It was only a matter of time before a battle happened

{So that on’t receive attack from the Entrance of Spain and France, we approached froe detour from Ireland to us}

Reiri clicked her tongue and glared at the map

“Isn’t that ie?”

{It’s i to the data until now That’s e also couldn’t anticipate this It appears that the shi+p of Vatlantis has increased their cruising range further than before Perhaps just like hoe evolved our weapon and beco their technological problem}

“The iuys’ weapon can also be considered asto do if that’s the case?”

{Even if we move forward or draw back, it will only hasten the confrontation with the ene near to France}

However Kizuna shook his head

“No good If we are attacked from the land, that’s exactly what a certain death is Besides, our destination is London We should crush the eneht at our destination”

“……Certainly we are ai at London But, if we don’t take care of the enemy in front of us, even that will be impossible Especially if we don’t defeat the ene London, we cannot even approach near”

{Even if we defeat the enemy in front, the enemy behind will catch up, so in the end we have to defeat the two of them}

Kei’s text htly tch-ed

“Our present situation is where we haven’t yet finds any afloat of other country Like this it’s obviously that we are lacking in battle strength, theattacked by both at the same time, if we can take care of the weak one first…Kizuna, do you know about these bunches?”

The ie from the unmanned drone was projected on the monitor

The front was an eye-patched girl, the behind was a white haired girl

“Aah, I re……both of thes of the enemy”

“Is that so……then, should we progress to encounter the enemy at front faster After that we can only pray that the enemy behind will arrive late or possibly they will reach the lie”

Kizuna crossed his arms with a serious face

“The problem is that there is no one I can do Climax Hybrid with……it’s out of the question to face theot no weapon”

At that time, the door of the center control room opened

“What are you all doing sleep-talking like that There is still this me here!”

Gertrude entered the room still on her wheelchair

“The one sleep talking here is you You are still in the middle of rehabilitation”

“You are noisy you know Kizuna boss Actually I already don’t need so like a wheelchair”

Saying that, Gertured stood up from the wheelchair

“Se……see, there is nothing impo…po, possible, for meee-“

However her standing posture was like a baby deer that was just born Gertrude as standing pigeon-toed with fiercely tres made Kizuna held his head

“No, no matter how I see it, that’s impossible”

“The, then, just watch this Sigura!”

Gertrude yelled the naht overflowed from her body, which then coun-metallic armor was created

“GYAAAAAAAAAAAA-ITHURTSSSSSSSSSS!”

But Gertrude immediately fell on her knees and rolled around on the floor

“O, oi! You okay there?”

“Kuuu……I, I can take it no problemmm”

Kizuna sighed looking at Gertrued whose lips were tre with teary eyes

“That’s why don’t force yourself You cannot fight in your current condition”

“If, if that’s the case then how about that Climax Hybrid you said? If we do that, even boss Kizuna will power up won’t you? Then, do whatever you ith me”

Gertrude lied doith face looking up and forcefully raised her ar to take a sexy pose However, her face that was enduring the pain with all her poas completely a turn-off

“Just what airl whoher arm……”

“The, then, as I thought I’ht too”

She pulled out her main weapon that was pistol-style particle cannon from her waist

“O-, ouch ouch――and that’s just a joke……ah”

Kizuna took the pistol from Gertrude’s hand casually

“Wha, what are you doing!?”

“I confiscated this Just stay quietly there”

“Re, return it back to me!”

Gertrude reached out her hand, but she could only stay lying doithout waking up, so there was no way she could reach

“Eh?”

Suddenly Gertrude’s hand stopped still and stared with a puzzled face at her pistol that was gripped in Kizuna’s hand

“……Hm?”

Kizuna stared closely at the pistol in his hand The appearance looked like a normal pistol However the inside would shot out particles as bullet ic power, it possessed the destructive power that could easily pierce the aric weapon

“What’s wrong? Is so the matter with this?”

“No……just why is boss holding un?”

“Even if you ask me why……”

Aopened between Gertrude and Kizuna

{Kizuna, you can carry the weapon of other person’s Heart Hybrid Gear?}

“H like that until now but……”

Kizuna tried to recall his battles until no that Kei ht Gravel in Okinawa too, he grasped Neros’s Blade and could use it as a sword

“――Wait, it’s normally cannot be done?”

{Impossible The weapon of Heart Hybrid Gear is the possession unique of that gear Even other person try to use it, it will only return into particle}

‘Wait, that means――’

“Even if Gertrude wear her Heart Hybrid Gear, she has weapon but cannot fight I can fight the enemy but don’t have weapon That’s why――”

‘If I borrow Gertrude’s weapon, I can fight!’

“I can do this! Nee-chan, with this I can fight those guys!”

Reiri shook her head with a complicated face

“But, it’s no good with just that The essential thing is lacking”

{Kizuna’s Hybrid Count is currently 10}

“……- I see”

Certainly, he had used it up when he escaped Vatlantis and it mostly still hadn’t recovered Even if he had weapon, he couldn’t make bullet Far from that, even the time he could maintain Eros was short

And then, if he used up all his Hybrid Count, what awaited him was――death

Kizuna clenched his fist tightly

“But the chance is not zero It will be a short decisive battle! Will et to zero first, or will I defeat the enemy first!”

Reiri opened her eyes in a rage and shouted

“Don’t say so any Cli up at all Just how are you going to defeat the enemy quickly huh!?”

“No matter what the two of you say, I’ll do it”

Kizuna turned his back to the two and headed to the exit

“Wait, Kizuna!”

Reiri stood up so fast that it was like her chair was kicked and ran to the door And then she cut in between Kizuna and the door and stood in his ith her hand spread widely

“Nee-chan Move from there”

“There is no way I can let you go You are the last hope reht where we understand that you are just going to get killed easily!”

“But, at this rate I won’t be able to save everyone no ! Himekawa, Yurishi+a, Sylvia, Scarlet, and Masters too Also……”

――Aine

“That’s why I’h with force”

Kizuna faced Reiri and stepped forward Their face got near to the degree that their nose tips allared back with an expression that burned in rage

“I understand that you feel responsible But, bravery and recklessness is different Self-sacrifice sound heroic but it’s not a virtue If your objective is to save those girls, perhaps you think that it’s fine even if you die, but if in the end you cannot save them, then it’s just simply a pointless death!”

He couldn’t immediately return back any word

“-……even if it’s pointless, even if I die, I’ve got to do this There is tio no matter what!”

Reiri grinded her teeth with a frustrated face and her eyes were shi+ning with tears

“This……idiot!”

Reiri grasped Kizuna’s collar Kizuna’s neck was constricted and he was pulled roughly Their foreheads bumped audibly

“You are fine of that You feel saved with that But, that kind of thing is only self-satisfaction! Try to think about the people you left behind! You are just cutting away all hope! You are just increasing the sadness!”

Tears overflowed fro out once the dam broke didn’t stop and wetted Reiri’s cheeks and dripped down to her chest

“Ne, Nee-chan……”

This was the first ti face

His sister could also cry

Kizuna received a shock from such an obvious truth

Flawlessly perfect superhuman

Even so she also could worry and be hurt

He understood that much

But, he couldn’t even iine the current appearance of his sister

Her cheeks was red and her tears flowed out without caring of other people’s eye

His sister that was supposed to be invincible made a look that was this weak and easy to break

She was like delicate white porcelain that even though hard would break if it was dropped

“If you die here……I……just for what, all that I did until now……”

‘That tear, is let out for my sake

I’m Nee-chan’s weak point

She is thinking about me until this much

And then I too become a support for Nee-chan’s heart’

At that ht of his sister with unbearable dearness

He loved her since his childhood

Even the cutest girl in school was inferior compared to his sister

She was kind, beautiful, and stylish more than anyone

He admired her

But the dearness that he felt right noas different with the admiration of that time

The crying face in front of him looked very beautiful and lovely

“I, Nee-chan, that……uwaa!?”

Power naturally left Kizuna’s body Because of that, his collar kept pulled by Reiri and he collapsed forward

“……-!”

Behind her was automatic door, so Reiri couldn’t even lean on the wall and fell down entangled with Kizuna

“So, sorry! Are you okay Nee-chan?”

“Ki, Kizuna……you……”

“He?”

Kizuna’s face was buried on Reiri’s breast and one of his hand grasped her breast with a lot of strength And then Reiri’s legs were parted and his posture was one where he collapsed between them Her miniskirt was rolled up and her underwear appeared in plain sight It was unexpectedly erotic with its black lace

Kizuna and Reiri’s heart ticked in intense beat as if in sync

At that ht particles were emitted from their body

“Thi-, this is?”

Both of them looked at each other

“This is……what does this……I and Kizuna, are showing Heart Hybrid sign? No, there is no way that can happen That’s impossible”

Reiri looked up at Kei as if to deht

“Re, Re-ri……you have, aptitude for Core?”

Too ot herself and spoke with her own voice Kizuna felt like this was the first ti with her voice

“Tha, that’s right, Nee-chan Just, what in the world, this mean?”

Kizuna grasped Reiri’s hand and pulled her up Reiri’s eyes were blank as if she was half-asleep and shook her head weakly

“I don’t know Because, I should not have any aptitude for Core That’s the reason that I became commander When I was a child, mother told me that I don’t have aptitude for Core so――!?”

Noticing it with a ‘hah’, Reiri’s eyes opened wide and her pupil shook, cold sweat flowed down her cheek

“Re-ri……is that about, E, eros’s……Core?”

“That’s right……that person, she planned to install Eros’s Core init to Kizuna But, she said that I don’t have the aptitude, and lost interest of me”

Since then, she believed that she didn’t have aptitude all this time

Kei put her hand on her chin and pondered

“By any chance, Eros is……a Core exclusive for man, perhaps”

Kizuna put his hand on his chest It was as though he was asking the thing that was inside him

“Core exclusive for man……Eros is?”

It was a theory that was hard to believe so suddenly After all, it was a common sense that the Core of Heart Hybrid Gear couldn’t sufficiently display its ability if not with female That hy Core wasn’t installed except in female Kizuna was the only exception, but that was only because at the time the research about Core was just started and Kizuna was the first human to be installed with Core

“That’s i like a Heart Hybrid Gear Core exclusive for a , doesn’t suppose to exist Then, just why is Eros’s default spec this low? If it’s exclusive for ht for it to be installed in ht?”

“But, according to Professor Nayuta’s record, it’sit was tested to Re-ri but it didn’t work But Re-ri had aptitude for Core……that’s why, by any chance”

The Core of Eros inside Kizuna that he should be fa unknown

‘――Just what in the world, Eros’s Core is?’

“O, of course, this is ht now――”

Kei sent a glance at Reiri

“In other words……I have Core aptitude?”

Reiri put her hand on her face Her appearance looked as if she was frustrated of being unable to take back so

“I……don’t come out to the front line as coht……regardless that I ht”

Kei returned to her senses and typed on her keyboard

{But, now that it has come to this that become a salvation In a state where there is no Core installed, that much result can come out, there is no other than Reiri who can do this}

Certainly that was so Previously, si happened with Sylvia, but the reaction this tireat that it was incomparable with that tis, that it had an influence?

Kei too typed on her keyboard excitedly

{Thanks to that we find a method to recover Kizuna’s Hybrid Count Reiri doesn’t have a Core installed, so even with Climax Hybrid Eros cannot copy the ability of other Core In other words Eros itself won’t power up But……}

Kizuna raised his face as if he was struck His face changed completely from just now, it was filled with hope and motivation

“My Hybrid Count can fully recover! In addition I have Gertrude’s weapon! I can fight the enemy with this!”

Kizuna faced Reiri with a bright s face However Reiri’s face turned red and she answered incoherently

“I, I guess But Kizuna, for that, it’s……”

There Kizuna also noticed

“Wait, I see! I wit Nee-chan……!?”

Kizuna suddenly began to lose his nerve

‘――You, you can’t Don’t be timid! Calm down, Hida Kizuna!’

He persuaded hi of his face was unstoppable His forehead was perspiring with sweat

Only the Heart Hybrid this time was incomparable with all the other until now After all the partner was his blood related sister Furthermore, it was also the person that he idolized since he was a child

‘――Doing Heart Hybrid with Nee-chan……perverted thing……?’

Just fro Kizuna shook his head in panic

‘What are you thinking! There is no way I can do so like that! No matter how beautiful she is, this is Nee-chan you know? Even though I idolize her, it’s not about so toward Nee-chan as my partner, that’s impossible!’

Kizuna stole a glance and stared at his sister from the side

Reiri’s cheek was red and she was crossing her ar her own body Her eyes under her eyebrows that looked troubled avering and lookedof allure that was exclusive of older female

gulp Kizuna’s throat sounded

The mix of sha, different with her usual rigid attitude It made him felt too much loveliness that pierced his chest

Perhaps she had noticed Kizuna’s gaze that was like that, Reiri returned a sharp glare

“Wha, what are you looking so intently like that?”

“Nothing……I’”

“Don’t lie Your eyes look filthy”

“It’s, it’s not filthy-! I’ like that! Ne, Nee-chan yourself, just what are you i?”

“Wha……I, I too a, with my blood related brother……”

“……Aren’t you thinking it?”

“Shut up! That’s ih you are just a little brother! Anyway, there is no way I will do anything like Heart Hybrid with you Think using your common sense!”

{But Reiri, if not that then e do? Are we going to search for someone that can do Heart Hybrid without Core?}

“Uu……that’s……”

Biting her lip, Reiri dropped her gaze to the floor

{After one hour, Clayda that is in the front will come into contact with us, and then fifteen minutes from there, Elma will arrive}

“Kuh……”

Reiri fell silent while still looking down as though to hide her red face

{There is no time anymore Reiri}

Reiri clenched her fist hard

Kei and Kizuna held their breath and waited for Reiri’s decision

Sweat flowed on Reiri’s blushi+ng cheek

shi+ning drip fell on the floor

Taking in a deep breath, Reiri raised her face resolutely

“Kei, I want to buy time until we encountered the enemy What should I do in that case?”

{It’s best to not move at all like this}

“Got it Then Ataraxia will stop in this spot Also Kizuna, you go first to the experiment room There is the experiht?”

“Yeah……there were around ten rooms from A to J, those rooms?”

“That’s right Any roo that soht happen and secretly developed a syste Hybrid Count It seems the time to use that has come”

Kizuna spontaneously raised a loud voice

“WHATTt!? Telllike that!”

“No……it’s only usable exactly because we understand the fact now that it’s possible to recover your Hybrid Count with me I didn’t think that it’s actually usable until just now”

Kei knitted her eyebrows so hard and pursed her lips

{Wait a second Reiri, just what do you mean by tha}

With a terrific speed, Reiri took out a pen from her breast pocket and threw it at Kei

“Auu!”

The pen made a clean hit at Kei’s forehead Kei pressed on her forehead letting her slipping down glasses as it hile sinking on her chair

“Ne, Nee-chan……?”

Together with blazing blood thirst, Reiri stared at Kizuna glaringly

“Never o”

“Ye, YES MAM! YES-!”

After saluting, Kizuna exited the center control room in panic and ran to the experiment room

For the ti he rushed into the experiment room A that was nearest and took a breather Different with experiment room C that he used for Sylvia’s install, this room A was simple and tidy Rather than cuteness, its h quality of a model home There was a sofa and table nearby the wall The wall at his left had glass as the whole surface, he could see shower and bathtub inside

And then at the center of the rooe bed declared its bizarre presence

Kizuna sat on that bed and wait for instruction for a while

“……They are really slow”

Even though there was ene for

Just when he was going to stand up to look at the situation for the moment, the door of the experiment room opened and Kei showed her face

“Ah, shi+kina-san Just how long I have to wait here?”

Not answering his question, Kei put the equipment that she held in both arms on the bed

“This is……head mount display? Is this the system for use of Hybrid Count recovery?”

Kei stayed silent and began to put the goggle-type equipment on Kizuna’s head It was an encapsulated model that was combined with a headphone, his eyes and ears were simultaneously sealed with that

“Wa, wait, shi+kina-san You are not going to explain anything? Wait, it’s pitch dark like this and I cannot see anything!”

A snapping sound appeared and the head mount display was locked behind his head

{Don’t clamor, Kizuna}

Reiri’s voice flowed from the headphone

“Nee-chan, just what in the world is this?”

{After this, a woo to that room You do the Heart Hybrid with that woman}

“Eeh!? Just who is that woman? A candidate?”

{That touched a highly classified information, so I cannot tell you But don’t worry The wouys closely And then she ca to e training}

‘So that means, she is a candidate like Sylvia? Possibly, Nee-chan said that she atching closely, the possibility that it’s so that aside――,’
