Chapter 1 – Osiris

Part 1

“Then to celebrate the victory……cheers”

Nayuta raised her glass sly

It was at the highest floor of high class hotel in Ataraxia, [Royal Ataraxia Hotel] Inside the Chinese food restaurant that was ah class restaurants there, Kizuna and others of Heart Hybrid Gear squad, and the Magic Knight of Vatlantis were gathering

As expected fronificent view of Ataraxia’s night scenery froafloat japan that was usually visible was nowhere to be seen right now When the sight was moved to inside the restaurant, the combination of Chinese outfit that n was really pleasing for the eyes Even while proclaih class perception, the at

However the gathereddisheartened face

“Che……cheers”

Inside the strange at voice of cheers with ti that really late and didn’t match with Nayuta’s rally was raised

Certainly they had defeated one of Deus ex Machina, Hokuto and recovered a part of the world’s configuration inforreat achievement

On the large round table in front of their eyes, high class Chinese food were lined up in astonishi+ng a duck, there was also whole shark fin Crab soup with s nest Dried abalone steak Ise prawn, foie gras, sea urchin and so on, high class ingredients were used generously, cooking that usually one couldn’t really witness were being lined up

There were also foods they had fayoza, xiaolongpao, chop suey, pepper steak, fried rice and so on, but even those foods were somewhat different than what they could eat at school cafeteria Most likely its ingredients and the effort for seasoning and the skill to make it was not merely somewhat different but at another level entirely

The aro the appetite of everyone in attendance However――,

Right noasn’t the situation to celebrate so carefree like this wasn’t it?

Which reht about but, fro from?

Such question kept bothering the mind of the participants here

“He to defeat a reat pain……aah, the people of Vatlantis still hasn’t recover their oorld’s data, so because of that you all cannot get in the mood for celebration, is that it?”

“……That’s not it”

Hyakurath earing Ataraxia’s unifor a wrinkle between her eyebrows

There were two large round tables In one table was Sylvia, at her left was Kei, Reiro, Nayuta, then Kizuna, Himekawa, in addition was Vatlantis’s Hyakurath and Mercuria, Valdy and Ragrus, they were sitting in that order

At the other table were Masters’ Scarlet, Henrietta, Clementine, Sharon, Leila Also Gertrude who obtained per in a wheelchair

“My, then is it the food? For the celebration of defeating Hokuto, isn’t Chinese food thefor this occasion?”

As though to say that she couldn’t hold back anymore, Reiri hit the table

“Stop joking around! Just when I thought ere you planning to gather everyone like this You are justfun of us!”

“I’ive appreciation for everyone’s hard work And then I’ that with this everyone’s willpower can befor after this Also, for those who are still unable to return hoood nourishratitude toward everyone who had worked hard, I arranged this place but……is this a bother?”

“Uu……”

What she was saying was extreround to coratitude

But that was the story for normal person

The one they were talking with, was that Hida Nayuta

No matter how, they couldn’t possibly honestly accept this

Himekawa also knitted her eyebrows and stared fixedly at the foods

“There is nothing inserted in this foods right……”

That worry wasn’t too excessive, Kizuna thought that

{There is no need to worry in that point These foods are undoubtedly created in the kitchen of this restaurant There is no strange point at all, starting fro, until the foods were put on the table}

Kei typed on her portable keyboard and openedin front of the face Together with the text Kei was typing, the i in the kitchen, and then the i camera inside the restaurant were displayed one after another

{By the way the ingredients are so from where it was sent to the market is iredient had been finished}

“For some reason, it’s really suspicious……”

Toward the frowning Kizuna, Nayuta put her fan covering her mouth and raised a chuckle

“Fufufu, so you are scared If it is ingredients that originally existed in Ataraxia, then it’s possible to reproduce it Saying it in reverse, ingredients that didn’t exist when the data of this Ataraxia was collected is ih”

“……For example what?”

“Let’s see……so”

Kizuna replied with disgusted face

“That’s unneeded But――ah”

When he noticed, Scarlet and others were beginning to eat

“Hee, isn’t this really delicious, this is shark fin you say? The texture is interesting Isn’t it, Henrietta?”

“I think so Putting together shark fin and ham is also delicious”

Clepao

“This is tasty! Inside it there are sea urchin or shri roll too, it has a lot inserted in it!”

Sharon was putting crab soup of s nest mechanically into her mouth

“It’s said that s nest, is good for beauty……fufu, fufufufu, I’ll eat as much as I like”

Leila was checking the menu of the hotel’s restaurant in her s with difficult expression

“In ay I can eat the expensive one with the most effectiveness……as expected, abalone is 30,000 yen! No, that highest grade shark fin has unit price of 40,000 yen! Kuh! What’s with this market value! Eei, I’ll call them directly!”

While eating Chinese ham and spare rib, beef fillet meat black pepper stir fry, Scarlet noticed Gertrude asn’tat all

“Hey―, you aren’t eating? It’s delicious you know? Or rather, it’s a loss if you don’t eat”

Gertrude that was staring fixedly at the table with resentful eyes howled

“You are noisy asshole! I’ called eating restriction! Just why did you bring me here!”

“Ah, is that so Sorry Well, I thought that it would be pitiful if you are the only one left behind that’s why”

“Don’t you asshole talk like that while stuffing your cheek with food-! I cannot see any pity in you for me at all like that-!”

Gertrude yelled with teary eyes Sharon tilted her head with a slightly pitying expression

“But……at the very least, if you can taste the place’s atmosphere……you will have fun?”

“It’s nothing at all except being tortured you asshole-!” (TN: Seems like the anime attached asshole in Gertrude’s speech, so I’ll also use that here for Gertrude’s characteristic way of talking)

Leila was typing her calculator while s nihilistically

“This place is a battlefield! My bad but there is no free tione anywhere but fast food joint, school cafeteria, or convenience store A chance to eat this kind of celebrity food will never coain!”

“Eating celebrity food that is pointlessly expensive like that is just degradation! Doing so those rich people, you don’t have any pride of the commoner at all you asshole!”

No matter what Gertrude said, Leila’s asn’t shaken in the slightest

“The motto of the commoner, is to eat free food without h class food if not with other people’s money! Just how much money you think is needed so that you can eat this……fufufu”

The foods in Masters’ table were decreasing in the blink of eye Kizuna could only smile wryly

“Even if these foods are poisoned, it’s already too late isn’t it……let’s eat too”

Kizuna reached out his hand toward the mapo tofu in front of his eyes

“!? Wait Kizuna I’ll taste for poison first”

The moment Reiri said that, she rotated the part of the round table that was a level higher The tofu that was dyed with the redness of chili oil and the black of minced meat finally arrived in front of Reiri’s eyes Irance of capsicum, black pepper, and japanese paper stimulated her nasal cavity

“Fufufu, but perhaps that deep vigilance is advantageous in battle Here, Reiri”

Nayuta scooped up white rice into a bowl and gave it to Reiri Reiri was staring at that boith a face as though she was looking at aout from the abyss

“……What are you doing?”

Nayuta tilted her head in puzzle cold sweat

“What a strange child I’ a little nostalgic?”

“……No Since I was born, not toover rice to me which you had never done even once, in the first place I don’t have even a single recollection of you cooking”

“Is that so?”

After Nayuta htly puzzled face She put the rice bowl in front of Reiri And then she prepared the next bowl and served white rice again

Reiri was having cold shile glaring at the bowl put before her eyes with a grim face

Hyakurath as sitting beside Hi chopstick while biting her lips with a troubled feeling

“Excuse pao, what is the correct way of eating it?”

“Is this your first ti this Hyakurath-san? Err let’s see, first take it using your sppon, then break the skin and let out the meat juice inside, put sauce and black pepper……”

“Oi, Hyakurath Why did you ask Hi me first”

Mercuria murmured with a dissatisfied face However Hyakurath answered nonchalantly

“You don’t knoay Mercuria”

“Wha-! It’s not about that Go to me first before Himekawa”

“Himekawa-san is different than Mercuria, she possessed coence, and also sense of duty, she is a really diligent person Rather than someone with bad behavior like you, she is far more reliable”

Hie of the two When her gaze i for help, her eyes suddenly met Kizuna’s

“Hayuru is really popular”

“Can someone like you really say that……”

She looked up at Kizuna with moist eyes

“Captain―, is it okay if Sylvia rotate the table desu?”

Sylvia as sitting at the opposite side aving her hand After Kizuna nodded, he rotated the table In theduck in front of herself

“Is, is that……the Peking duck?”

Ragrus as sitting beside Sylvia stared doubtfully at the duck meat with thinly sliced skin

“Soh”

“This is that kind of food desu You eat it by wrapping onion and cucuether around it desu It’s delicious desu!”

And then Valdy that was beside Ragrus, she was also not touching the food like Gertrude though because of a different reason Ahead at the direction where she was staring fixedly was Reiri If she averted her eyes even for an instant, in that opening Reirithat, Valdy didn’t let her eyes went fro the rice that was served in the bowl, she was carrying a stea toward no one

“Good grief……even though Oldiuht now This carefree gathering is just……”

Nayuta stared at Reiri as though she noticed sharply

“If it’s their location then I know it you know”

“――What?”

“Oldiu, I shared a part of my body with them And so, I understand in which world they are in”

“Wh……why, didn’t you say that sooner!?”

Reiri hit the table and stood up vigorously

The two shi+ps other than battleshi+p Ataraxia who departed in journey to search for Deus ex machine, Oldium that was boarded by Vatlantis Eon that was boarded by the alliance of Izgard and Baldein Nayuta knew the whereabouts of those two shi+ps That truth also shocked Kizuna

“That’s right! Then, we have to head there immediately!”

However Nayuta was scooping apricot pudding while replying in a calm state

“Just wait Even if you rush, there will be nothing good co from it”

Hyakurath also raised a conde voice

“But, even while we are doing this, Grace-san and student council president……no, Grace-sama and Zelcyone-sama, also……Gravel-san too”

Everyone didn’t hide their irritated feeling and waited for Nayuta’s reply

“I understand your feeling of wanting to hurry But even the battleshi+p Ataraxia is largely da in Hokuto’s world and the escape fro A little more time is necessary until it is repaired Until then, please set aside this ti”

Even if he was told that, Kizuna couldn’t calm down The other two shi+ps were in similar situation with them, they were sed by space-ti at unknoorld soine what kind of situation those girls were in Perhaps they arrived at a terrifyingly dangerous world, perhaps they had fallen into a terrible danger

Themselves unexpectedly arrived at machine God Hokuto’s world and narrowly obtained victory That was because him and Hayuru who had finished Core’s reinstall and also Nayuta were there However, the other two shi+ps beside Ataraxia were――,

“It’s fine you know”

Nayuta smiled thinly

“In those two shi+ps, there are Magic Knights that had done Core’s reinstall too isn’t it?”

“!?”

Himekawa didn’t miss that conversation

She didn’t know that there was anybody else that had done Core’s reinstall Together with a light shock, she felt desolateness that it wasn’t just her And then, she became fiercely concerned ere the ones who had the reinstall done on them

Kizuna was co inside Himekawa’s heart He was anxious about the safety of the crews of Oldiuaze on the table

Nayuta as sitting beside hih she had just re

“――By the way, Kizuna”

Was there any other infor that Kizuna’s desperate expression was met by Nayuta’s lax smile

“Do you want second?”

Part 2

After evading Osiris and Yurishi+a, Grace who safely escaped Necropolis was flying in low-altitude above the desert She was flying in quite a speed, but no matter howwithout end

Finally at the beyond, soantic structure that was half-buried in the desert Looking from afar it was like a small mountain, but when it was approached it could be understood that it was a manmade structure

It was a tilted palace that suddenly appeared on the desert

The flagshi+p of Vatlantis E into the desert The shi+p’s prow part was buried in the sand, it was tilting to the left while inclining forward

Looking at that appearance, Grace talked to herself in complaint

“Good grief For Oldeum to look like that, how pathetic this is”

The hazy figure of the flagshi+p was gradually beco clearer When looked from afar, its appearance looked like a castle and its castle city below it Even when looked from near it couldn’t really be noticed as a battleshi+p The nized as a battleshi+p by the one watching, they would be surprised by its astonishi+ng size

It had a gigantic body that easily surpassed two kilo on the hull reached a hundred meter Grace raised her altitude and she headed toward the highest level of that castle After she flew inside the balcony that was opened there, she gently landed on the floor

Suddenly, El the control panel with difficult face raised a shocked voice toward Grace who entered from the

“ “Grace-sama-!?” “

Clayda whose right eye was covered by eye-patch had her left eye opened so wide as though to represent the surprise of the right eye too She stood up in fluster but then she spontaneously staggered, perhaps frootten that the floor was tilted

“What’s the matter, you two? To be that flurried”

Toward that carefree Grace, El for a moment

“Tha……that question should not be asked! We cannot find Grace-saone to?”

“YesThose guys’ city……Necropolis, I went to see the situation there just for a little”

Clayda dropped her shoulders with exasperated face toward Grace as broad-heartedly nodding

“What recklessness……it was just like Zel-sama said”

“Zel? Now that you mentioned it I don’t see her Lunorlla and Ramza are also not here?”

Elht like beast ears Those ears twitched and she talked with bla tone

“The three of the for Grace-sama!”

Grace looked aside feeling that the angry Elma was troublesome

“It would be better if they just waited obediently……good grief, this is really a bad ti”

‘That’s because you were gone as you pleased!’ Clayda and also Elma murmured that inside their heart However Grace didn’t notice and puffed her chest proudly

“I found out that Nee-sama isn’t in this world We have no more business in this world”

“What did you say!?”

“Does Grace-sama know the whereabouts of Ainess-sama!?”

Clayda asked enthusiastically

“I’, but it seems that Nee-sama is with the other Deus ex Machina However, I don’t understand the concrete location of Nee-sama”

“The other Deus ex Machina is it……however, how did Grace-sama find that out?”

“The Deus ex Machina ruling over this world, Osiris, I met her That woman said, that Nee-sa held by the other Deus ex Machina I don’t think that she is lying”

Grace’s casual answer shocked the two

“There was A under that woman If possible I wanted to save her but……from that Osiris, I felt some kind of indescribable dreadfulness We cannot approach that woman carelessly”
