Part 1
Hida Reiri became an early riser recently.
Or rather, previously she didn’t have any concept of morning or night. After all she was Ataraxia’s commander. The battle against Vatlantis, and then against the machine god, and lately against the many countries that were targeting Ataraxia drowned her with works that left her no time to rest.
But now she was leading an orderly life.
She got out of bed before six o’clock, took a shower, and dressed herself a little. Then she would wear apron over her casual indoor outfit and began cooking breakfast for her little brother and little sister.
It was a daily activity, so she wasn’t making anything really complicated. However perhaps because of the ingredient’s good quality, the taste was really good. The bread used for making toast used developed wheat and grown by Ataraxia’s farming department. No agrochemical that could harm the body was used at the slightest. Its nutritional value was also high so it was most suitable for fetus──that was what Shikina Kei said as she recommended it. The meat and egg used for bacon and omelet also came from new livestock department’s new research.
This was her third month of pregnancy. Because of that she became more careful with her body, but the people around her were treating her with even more excessive care. Thanks to that even her commander works were all being done from home.
She herself wanted to continue working like before but, everyone simply wouldn’t allow her. A part of her was thankful for their consideration but, a part of her also felt a bit embarrassed.
She scrambled some eggs and spread it over the fry pan while thinking like that.
「Good morning.」
It was then the little sister that she got recently, Setsuna entered the dining kitchen. She had already finished dressing up in her uniform.
「Morning Setsuna. You’re early.」
「Yes. I’m on class duty today, so I’m thinking to leave a bit early.」
「I see. And Kizuna?」
Setsuna sighed in exasperation.
「I woke him up just now but……he just wouldn’t get out from bed. It was a pain. Did Onii-chan stay up late yesterday night?」
Reiri was startled inside her heart.
「Ah! Is today’s menu omelet!?」
Setsuna peered at the fry pan and her eyes sparkled.
「Y-yeah. Right.」
「What’s more it has a lot of other ingredients mixed in. It’s great! Did something good happen yesterday?」
Reiri’s heart skipped a beat once more.
──Last night she managed to spend a time alone between brother and sister without any interruption after so long.
There was a nervous sense of distance between them since the pregnancy was found out, but that caused stress to accumulate instead, so thinking that it would be fine if it was just flirting, they decided to sleep together last night after so long.
They felt fulfilled mentally and physically through that act.
「Nee-chan……」
「Kizuna♥」
They kissed and entangled their tongues together without a single string covering their bodies, uncaring of what others might think. It was a greedy deep kiss. The heightening excitement caused white drips to overflow from the tips of her breasts.
Her spine shivered from the pleasure of letting her little brother drinking from it. And then her whole body was caressed with fingers and tongue to every nook and cranny. That pleasure and bliss led her to climax so easily it was embarrassing.
And then both of them got completely turned on……the person in question Kizuna showed up while she was thinking back of last night.
「Yaawn……good morning.」
In contrast to Setsuna who was properly dressed up, Kizuna’s hair was still messy and he was also still wearing his pajama.
「You look sleepy. You can continue sleeping for a bit more. You’re scheduled to sortie today, so it should be fine for you to skip school.」
Reiri firmly grasped the schedule of Amaterasu despite working from home.
The other day, there was an incident where a certain country fired threatening missile toward Ataraxia. The missile landed several dozens of kilometer ahead of Ataraxia so there wasn’t any damage, but it was still something problematic. Another country was also periodically sending their fighter jets to approach Ataraxia. They could just ignore those but, it would also be troublesome if those countries got uppity.
To respond against those moves, Amaterasu planned to fly across the sky of the corresponding countries in the afternoon today as a show of force.
But it wouldn’t be just for that kind of antagonistic action.
Recently Ataraxia was also starting to take action like heading to a place where extremely inhuman deed was taking place and disarmed the military force there.
Such act didn’t really bring any direct benefit. However, it was effective in order to broadcast Ataraxia’s intention to the world.
Kizuna sat on the dining table even while looking sleepy.
「No……I’ll be fine after eating breakfast and moving my body.」
Reiri put in the bread for Kizuna’s share into the toaster. The she brewed coffee.
「Did you, overdo it a little yesterday?」
「That’s my line. I also got a bit too absorbed……is your body, alright?」
As expected, she was happy that he was worrying for her.
「I’m fine. It’s everyone who is being too fussy. There won’t be any problem as long as I don’t put too much burden to my stomach.」
In the end last night, although it was just for a bit……she ended up going all the way with Kizuna. Though as expected, they still kept it within the limitation.
As expected, becoming one gave them happiness that was difficult to obtain from other thing. And then there was the pleasure of receiving Kizuna inside her body. Her body got heated up just from recalling that sensation.
「Onii-chan and Onee-chan, what are you two talking about?」
Setsuna’s pure gaze stared at them. It made them felt guilty somehow.
「We’re talking about the operation today.」
Setsuna honestly believed Reiri’s answer and she went to school energetically. Reiri saw off her back and sighed while smiling.
「Sheesh……she’s so cheerful. She’s so obedient without anything twisted at all inside her.」
She suddenly found it hard to believe that girl originally came from Thanatos and Nayuta when she was like that.
「Hey, Onee-chan……about last night」
「Eh? W-what?」
She wondered what Kizuna was trying to say. Reiri recalled what they did last night and couldn’t help but felt embarrassed.
「Nee-chan, did you……feel anything strange that time?」
「Strange?」
Reiri frowned.
Could it be, there was something out of place that she didn’t notice because she was pregnant? If that caused some kind of discomfort for Kizuna…….
Kizuna seemed to notice what Reiri was thinking and swallowed the bread in his mouth before waving his hand.
「No, it’s fine if Nee-chan didn’t feel anything. It might be just my imagination.」
「Was something in your mind?」
Kizuna stuffed his mouth with omelet and chewed while pondering.
「That’s……this is tasty.」
「I’m happy to hear that, but don’t dodge the question.」
「I’m not planning that. I myself can’t really put it into words. Somehow there’s this……like I’m being connected to something……do you understand if I say that?」
「Ce……certainly, you were──connected with something.」
Reiri averted her gaze and bit into her own toast.
「No no! That’s not what I mean……ah, I gotta go! Thanks for the breakfast!!」
Kizuna hurriedly stood up. Reiri called out to him to stop.
「You don’t need to be in such a hurry to leave right?」
「I forgot that Ger-san called for me. She said that she want to consult me about the curriculum of the elementary grade.」
Kizuna left those words behind and returned to his own room first to change into his uniform in a rush. Then he ran noisily through the corridor and went out of the door while yelling 「I’m going」.
「Sheesh……the way he doesn’t has any composure like that is just like a kid.」
Reiri muttered in exasperation. She also added 「That side of him is also cute though」 inside her heart.
.
Part 2
Gertrude stared stoically at Kizuna who arrived at the elementary grade’s teacher office in a rush.
「What’s with the hurry? Did you run away from a damn women’s quarrel to here?」
Kizuna emptied a glass of barley tea in a single gulp before helping himself to another glass.
「For some reason I have this strange feeling recently.」
「Feeling, is it?」
「It’s like there’s someone somewhere watching me, like someone is peeking into my head? No, like there’s someone looking from my eyes through my head.」
「…………」
Gertrude scowled heavily.
「Boss, that sounds real damn bad you know?」
「It’s bad!?」
「Yes. That’s proof that you aren’t right in the head. No doubt about it.」
「Wha……what did you say!?」
「You sound like someone claiming to receive strange signal or being controlled by someone. That’s a clichéd symptom.」
Kizuna folded his arms and groaned.
「But……I’m not feeling that stressed though.」
Compared to their battle against Vatlantis or machine gods, their livelihood recently even felt lacking in stimulation instead. Gertrude shrugged in exasperation at Kizuna’s respond.
「Boss is simply lacking awareness while feeling the pressure subconsciously. Because boss, you’ll have a child soon right?」
「That’s……certainly I’m feeling pressure.」
It would still be in several more months but, when he looked at the stomach of his big sister who was living together with him, he would surely feel it keenly soon. A part of him was happy but, certainly there was also this feeling of him getting slowly driven into a corner.
「What’s more, there’s also this damn beautiful girl corps pestering you for children too right?」
「……Uu」
Aine, Himekawa, and Yurishia surfaced in his mind. And then for some reason Sylvia’s figure towered in his mind like a last boss.
「C-certainly……it feels like, the pressure from everyone is gradually getting stronger……they also got intense at night──no」
Kizuna waved his hand left and right as though to ask Gertrude to forget what he said just now.
「Everyone has fought enough. They also had experienced many dangers……I want to make them able to walk their own life as soon as possible……that’s what I think.」
「That’s really the answer of a honor student but, you actually already aware yourself aren’t you? As expected boss, you’re simply feeling damn cornered without being aware of it.」
Kizuna made a grave expression and held his head.
「No way……so I’m actually that weak……even though I had escaped death so many times……」
Gertrude took out a file from her drawer and flipped through the pages.
「Let’s stop with the joke. There’s something that I want to discuss with you boss.」
「That was just a joke!?」
「……You think I was serious?」
Gertrude looked at the offended Kizuna with a look of exasperation.
「It might not be my place to say this but, your mental is like steel boss. There ain’t any need to worry in that respect. If you’re concerned, how about you visit Professor Shikina? She’ll happily place you on the experiment table won’t she?」
「That way of saying it is a bit……but well, she might really do that.」
Shikina Kei recently had been getting even more immersed with her research. There were also rumors that she was growing increasingly less picky with her method. There were even researchers who were whispering behind her back that transformation into a mad scientist was progressing and these days she reminded them of Professor Nayuta somewhat.
「I’ll go to lab if it feels like this feeling is getting worse. Setting that aside, what is it that you want to discuss with me?」
「Yes. Even among the students of the elementary grade, there are several children who are towering above the rest. Rather than educating them with the same curriculum like the other children, I’m thinking that it might be better to give them special treatment.」
「I see……you mean to give them specialized teaching that suit their talent more.」
「Yes. Ataraxia’s population is small, so I think it’ll be better to nurture the promising human resource with more care. Our era was when the world was in the middle of AU Collision, so the policy was simply throwing everyone into real battle and then raising those who survived……it was that kind of damn policy.」
Now that she mentioned that, certainly it made him amazed that he managed to survive.
「And, do you have a concrete suggestion?」
「This is just an example but, what about something like entrusting Setsuna-chan to Amaterasu?」
「But I’m also an amateur when it comes to nurturing someone……」
Furthermore she was his little sister. Besides, if the time she spent with the members of Amaterasu increased……,
「She might find out about boss’s indulgence with Amaterasu and enter her rebellious phase.」
「Your wording!」
Even if she was joking, Getrude’s suggestion deserved a consideration.
「Got it. I’ll try discussing it with Nee-chan later. Is that fine?」
「Yes. It’s really a damn big help to have hot line with Ataraxia’s leadership like this.」
Kizuna parted from Gertrude and left behind the school building of the elementary grade.
He got the feeling that soon he too had to take part with guiding the next generation. However, there were also still a lot of things that he had to do as someone in the active service.
Besides, Amaterasu currently still had its core members. There would be a limit to carry out a succession of generation within it right now.
「It comes to that in the end……」
Kizuna got into a commuter that was stopping at the roadside and headed to the lab.
.
Part 3
The members of Amaterasu were on standby in the lab waiting for the sortie. Aine, Himekawa, Yurishia, and Sylvia were wearing their pilot suit while having a simple lunch before departing.
When Kizuna arrived,
「Here, Kizuna. Say aa~~n♥」
Yurishia held up a sandwich toward Kizuna’s mouth.
「Haha, I can it by myself.」
「Say aa~~~~n」
「Come on, Sylvia is watching. You’re setting a bad example.」
When he tried to escape using Sylvia as an excuse,
「Please don’t pay Sylvia any mind desu. Sylvia is already used with everyone’s skinship desu.」
His path of escape was cut off.
「But, Sylvia also want captain……to be affectionate with Sylvia properly too later desu.」
She also landed an additional blow on him like that with an upward gaze.
「Here Kizuna, aa~~~~~~~~~~~n」
「……Yes」
Kizuna lost against Yurishia’s push and took a bite on the sandwich. The taste of bacon, lettuce, and mayonnaise was really delicious.
Yurishia was smiling brightly before she herself bit into the sandwich that she fed to Kizuna.
Himekawa was staring at that smile in irritation from the side.
「Yurishia-san, Kizuna-kun, you two are being too relaxed! We’ll sally out after this! You should review the mission briefing once more if you have time to flirt!!」
「Ee~? We’re just going to circle the earth once and chastise the missile site and battleship that harassed Ataraxia right?」
「Still! This lack of tension will invite a blunder. You will have the rug getting pulled under your feet if you let your guard down. Remember that we were all beginners once.」
「Yes yes」
Yurishia shrugged. She put a vegetable stick into her mouth before holding it out toward Kizuna.
「Hwere. Hizuna♥」
「Yurishia-san-!!」
Aine who was staring alone at her sandwich muttered absentmindedly.
「You’re right……certainly we should remember that we were all beginners once.」
「Aine-san! You understand what I’m saying.」
Himekawa felt moved and entwined her fingers with each other.
「I once brought a lunch box of sandwich to try getting along with Kizuna.」
「……Yes?」
「That time, just getting my breast touched was Heart Hybrid and getting it sucked was already Climax Hybrid.」
「Umm……what are you talking about?」
Yurishia was slyly still playing pocky game with Kizuna using vegetable stick even while that was going on. She then ended it with a deep kiss.
「Nh……Hijuna……chuu……nfu♥」
「Wait……Yurishia-san!!」
Yurishia’s lips only let go after their tongues were entwined to her heart’s content. A string of saliva formed a bridge between her mouth and Kizuna’s.
「I get you Aine. I too got Heart Hybrid just from getting my breast touched when we got attacked by Dragre.」
「Even Yurishia-san……just what are you saying?」
Aine ignored the bewildered Hayuru and raised her voice.
「I think, what we’re lacking right now, is the feeling of freshness of that time!」
「Freshness……」
Kizuna looked even more bewildered that Himekawa.
「The fresh heart pounding feeling of that time will come back if we recreate the same situation like that first time! With that even I will surely get pregnant too!」
Himekawa’s feeling went past exasperation and into exhaustion. She looked tired.
「What’s your basis for that……」
「Then Kizuna, here is my breast, enjoy♥」
Yurishia threw out her chest to present it to him.
Even now it looked like her pilot suit would burst. Even Kizuna who should be used to see it was overwhelmed. Even the shape of Yurishia’s nipples was clearly rising to the surface through the thin fabric. They were already pointing up from the flirting and kissing just now.
There would be no stopping it at this point. Besides refilling magic power──Hybrid Count before sallying out wasn’t a bad thing.
Kizuna gently touched Yurishia’s breasts.
「Ahn♥ Harder……do it until it left mark」
Kizuna responded to her request and put more strength into his fingers to grope her breasts. The nipples that were already standing up grew even more when he thoroughly groped her breasts as though he was kneading mocha.
「Haa……fufu, I can’t believe I really got Heart Hybrid from this. Though it couldn’t be helped because that time it was also my first time getting a boy touching my breasts.」
Yurishia winked and her hand reached toward the crotch of her pilot suit. She opened the electromagnetic zip and her female genital came in the open. It was getting wetter there it felt like that place would steam. A drip of liquid spilled out. And then a really nice smell that felt sweet, the unique scent of a girl with a Core installed tickled Kizuna’s nose.
That scent made Kizuna’s thing to stand erect.
「Ufufu……there is a tent on your pants♪」
Yurishia’s hand move from her pilot suit to caress Kizuna’s crotch without any notification beforehand.
「It’s lovely no matter how many times I touch it……♥」
Yurishia’s expression was completely melting in ecstasy as she stared there.
「Look Yurishia, this is just for resupply okay?」
「I know. Let’s postpone the Ultimate Hybrid for the night……leisurely.」
She decided his night schedule as she pleased.
「Geez……what a selfish slave.」
Then Yurishia narrowed her eyes and smiled mischievously.
「It’s because master hasn’t been disciplining this slave lately. That’s why, tonight I want……master to punish me plenty.」
「Wait a second!」
Himekawa cut in between the two. And then she thrust forward the things that she was holding in her hands to Kizuna.
「Did you prepare these Kizuna-kun!? Something like these……」
What Himekawa was showing to him was──cat ears and tail no matter how he looked at them. There was also lotion.
Yurishia and Aine stared at Himekawa as though they were looking at something painful.
「Hayuru……」
「That’s just out……」
「Wait! It’s a misunderstanding! I’m not the one bringing them here! It’s true!」
She became bright red and made excuse in panic.
Kizuna somehow recalled it. Most likely the maintenance people placed them here in consideration. Perhaps it was instigated by someone like Kurumizawa.
「R-really, how can they put something like this here……it’s troubling isn’t it? Kizuna-kun?」
She stared at Kizuna with her eyes hinting of something. Maybe it was just his imagination but, it felt like she was presenting the tail to him.
「Aa……let’s set aside the matter of who put them here. What do you want to do with them Hayuru?」
「Heh? M-me?」
After hesitating for aw while, Himekawa shyly looked down.
「I’m……not……」
Her shoulders dropped a bit dejectedly. Kizuna held back from smiling wryly and took the tail.
「They’re already here, so let’s have you wear them.」
「Eh? Eeeee?」
Himekawa raised her voice in surprise, but her expression looked a bit happy.
「I-if that’s your order then it can’t be helped……please put them on me quickly.」
「Let me tell you first, you’re still going wear them even during the sortie okay?」
「Eh!? Y-you demon!」
「It’s fine isn’t it? Hayuru might also become popular with that.」
Aine immediately butt in when Himekawa faltered.
「What do you mean by popular!?」
「My, you don’t know Hayuru? We’re world famous you know? Especially among the young people, our photos or videos are circulating in the shadows. The intelligence department confirmed it.」
That was fact. Kizuna had also heard the report from Ragrus and Valdy.
Every country imposed information control to erase information about Amaterasu and Masters, the Heart Hybrid Gear force of Ataraxia. In exchange they were spreading information that gave Ataraxia bad image.
However, to oppose that fans who were spreading recording that treated them like hero and heroines were also increasing. It was like a repetitive back and forth.
Aine looked like she wasn’t that displeased by that. She lightly brushed away her silver hair.
「Come to think of it, our video when attacking South America before this also got uploaded. The quality is just so-so though.」
「Is that so? I wish they can take my picture from sexier angle.」
「Ah, come to think of it Sylvia also heard from Ragrus-chan. It looks like there is also popularity ranking desu. Apparently Yurishia-san is currently ranking 1 desu.」
「Naturally♥」
「Kuh……everyone has poor eyesight.」
Aine was frustrated while Yurishia was in great delight. Himekawa looked like she was at her wits’ end listening to such conversation.
「Eh……then my picture is also getting exposed to the whole world? A-as I thought let’s stop with the tail……」
Himekawa got cold feet. But Aine and Yurishia held her hands from both sides.
「Wha-!? What are you two doing!」
The zipper on her crotch was immediately opened and even the valley of her butts got exposed.
「This is for the sake of Hayuru who is currently the lowest ranked among us. We’ll attach an optional item to increase your fame.」
「We’re always thinking of our comrades aren’t we.」
「I don’t need that kind of consideration!」
Kizuna was exasperated. Even so he applied lotion on the tail’s insertion part.
「Why are you preparing over there indifferently!?」
The insertion part was shaped like several balls attached to each other. He pushed it into the hole between Himekawa’s butts.
「D-don’t. Kizu──nnuh……fu……」
She was resisting at first but, her entrance immediately slackened. Then the tail got swallowed unexpectedly easily. After it got pushed until the base, the tail got connected to Himekawa’s sense and it straightened tensely.
For the finishing, Kizuna also put a cat ear headband on Himekawa’s head.
「It’s complete with this.」
「What do you mean……complete. Geez……」
Although her mouth was saying that, her expression had completely melted in ecstasy. After that she turned a fawning gaze toward him.
「Umm……I think the resupply is still not enough so……the front should also……」
She muttered with a weak voice while her hand reached toward Kizuna’s crotch. However this time it was Aine who butted in before Himekawa’s fingers could arrive.
「Aine……nh!?」
She forcefully kissed him and grabbed his hand before leading it toward her breast.
Kizuna started massaging Aine’s breast. And then she pulled away her lips.
「Nope. After all the first one should be me the legal wife.」
She touched the switch on Kizuna’s lower abdomen. With that the zipper opened and Kizuna’s thing that had become completely big bounced out.
Aine’s slender fingers entwined around that hardness.
「Hot……hey, Kizuna. Mine too……」
Kizuna touched Aine’s lower abdomen. The pilot suit was already opened and Aine’s important place was exposed.
When he touched her with his fingertip, hot honey started to drip out.
「It’s like you already wet yourself.」
「T-that’s not true! I still haven’t peed!」
「So it’s settled that you’re going to pee huh……」
「It can’t be helped! My body won’t listen to me because it feels too good!」
Aina made Kizuna sat on the sofa and straddled his lap. And then she aimed Kizuna’s tip to her slit and slowly lowered her waist.
「Nn……haa……a, auh♥」
She completely sat down on Kizuna’s lap while her waist trembled. He already entered fully into Aine.
Kizuna stared at Aine’s face that was right nearby. Her face was really pretty no matter how many times he looked.
Her cheeks reddened with her expression drunk in pleasure.
Her eyes moistened.
Her pupils were red colored.
That was an eye color that didn’t exist in this world──in Lemuria.
It felt like he was getting pulled by that beautiful radiance that was like jewel.
.
Part 4
Vatlantis Empire’s imperial capital, Zeltis.
A conference between three countries with Izgard and Baldin was being held in the palace there.
Surrounding the round table was Baldin’s queen Landred, and Izgard’s president Gravel. Gravel’s arms were holding a small life.
「Hello everyone, thank you for coming.」
Grave came late with a good mood. She was also carrying a baby.
Landred’s eyes shined seeing that child.
「My, so that child is Kizuna and Zelcyone-san’s……」
「Umu. He is the only male in this world.」
He had the same black hair like his father. However there was purple color mixed in a part of it.
「So he is……the second child who was born from a womb.」
Everyone’s gaze naturally moved toward the first child who was in Gravel’s arms.
This one had blond hair. Her hair was like her mother, but her skin color was closer to her father.
Gravel smiled a bit bashfully.
「This is the first time I bring her in the open like this. She’s my child with Kizuna.」
「Have you named her?」
Gravel made a conflicted face when Landred asked that.
「I’m planning to decide that when the christening ceremony is held but……right now, umm……I’m calling her, Kizuna.」
「My my, even though she’s a girl?」
「I know that, but against my better judgment I……」
Grace’s eyes widened.
「This is astonishing. So you have the same thinking.」
「Eh……then」
Grace lulled the child in her arms.
「That Zel is also calling this child Kizuna.」
「My my, so both of them have the same name with mister little brother. That’s troubling.」
Landred tilted her head. She didn’t look troubled at all.
Grace kept holding the baby while approaching Gravel.
「Here, this is the first meeting of you two.」
Both babies noticed each other’s presence and stared at each other.
It seemed they got interested to each other, or perhaps they were wary because they didn’t know who the other was. They only stared silently to each other without any change in expression.
「Oo, looks like they got curious to each other somehow.」
「Certainly……for them to pay attention to the other so keenly like this」
Landred suddenly felt a chill inside her chest.
「This is──」
A sound that wasn’t a sound resounded inside her ears.
It was like when a huge metal started moving──
「!?」
Landred jumped to her feet.
「What’s wrong?」
「Queen?」
Landred stared to the two babies with a grave look.
「No!」
Landred suddenly shouted loudly. Grace and Gravel were making dubious looks.
「What are you──」
「Get away you two! Don’t put those children close to each other!!」
The two of them stood still in confusion for just a moment.
However their mind immediately started turning. That Landred was acting this panicked. It must be something extraordinary.
Grace and Gravel kicked on the floor to jump away from each other.
Landred pressed her fingers together and closed her eyes. She concentrated and felt the flow of the world. Landred was a queen as well as a priestess. She was a unique existence even in Atlantis. She was able to sense something that others couldn’t.
「……Yes. It’s alright now.」
Landred let out a relieved sigh and lowered her head deeply.
「My deepest apologies for suddenly shouting.」
「No, that’s alright……but」
「More importantly, did something happen?」
Landred massaged her forehead and frowned.
「I don’t know. But……this is like──」
──A sign of AU Collision occurring.
「What’s wrong, queen?」
Landred returned to her senses and smiled faintly.
「I’ll try investigating something after this. But, for the time being I wish to ask so that those children are separated from each other for the time being.」
Grace and Gravel looked at each other.
「I see……that’s a bit sad. Although, this time they can meet like this only because we took the trouble to set up this meeting. Without that, there won’t be any chance for them to meet each other.」
「I too needed to arrange for heavy security for attending this meeting today so……as long as we don’t make the effort to make the chance……but, can you tell us the reason why?」
「I still can’t say anything definite but……I felt something similar to AU Collision.」
「What did you say!?」
「Then, it’s possible to meet Kizuna──」
The two grew excited, but Landred put a stop to it.
「It’s too early to say. There’s no guarantee that the connection will lead to Lemuria.」
「……!」
「We all had seen various worlds in our fight against the machine gods. It’s also possible that our world will collide with any of those worlds, or even a terrifying world that we have never visited before.」
Grace and Gravel pressed their lips together in disappointment.
「……But」
Gravel said that and stared at Landred.
「There is possibility, there is hope for that isn’t it?」
Landred returned a gentle smile.
「Of course.」
Landred stared alternately at the faces of the two children once more.
「These two children, have something.」
「Is that, because these two inherited Lemuria’s blood?」
「That’s so isn’t it……Lemuria’s──」
──Pillar(Genesis) of World Creation.
「……Anyway, I want to start an investigation after this. The knowledge that we obtained from Odin’s world will surely be useful too.」
Grace nodded.
「Very well. Then I’ll bring back this child to Zel. After that is the party.」
Grace held the child and left the room.
Gravel’s child stared fixedly toward her receding back.
.
Part 5
「──Eh?」
Kizuna was looking at a large breast when he opened his eyes. A face was peering down on him from above it.
「You’re awake.」
「Nee-chan?」
He was sleeping on his sister’s lap for some reason.
He tried to lift up his body, but the breast got placed on his face.
「……Nee-chan.」
「Lie down for a bit more.」
He listened to her and placed his head on her lap again. With that his face was liberated from the breast’s weight.
「Did something happen? What about the sortie?」
「You fainted during the resupply in the waiting room. Only the girls went out for the sortie.」
「──Eh? Then! Everyone!?」
When he looked at the room’s clock, the time was close to the scheduled time of the mission’s end.
「Don’t worry. They finished the mission safely and they should be back soon. They’ll most likely head here directly……you better worry more about that. Those girls will get noisy.」
「Aa……」
Kizuna smiled wryly.
「Kei examined you but, she didn’t find anything concerning with your body. Eros’s core was also working well without any trouble.」
「In other words the cause is unknown huh.」
But──,
It felt like he was at Vatlantis, meeting Gravel, Grace, and Landred.
It was then, the intercom’s bell rang noisily as though it was being pushed in rapid fire.
「……They’re here already.」
Reiri lifted up her little brother’s head. Then she stood up and headed toward the entrance.
「Shut up! I’ll open the door now, so stop sounding the bell!」
