Volume 2 - Ch 1
Hida Kizuna exited to the corridor with effort to not raise a loud sound.
It was late at night.
The hand of the clock had already passed through twelve.
However, Kizuna was walking exultantly with towel on shoulder towards the elevator hall wearing his sandal. His clothing was also still his casual clothes of T-shirt and short pants.
He was waiting until the time reached this point.
His heart danced.
A smile was naturally formed on Kizunas lips.
Finally, the day where he could enter the large baths had come!
This place was the student dormitory of Ataraxia. It was named as a dormitory, but the interior that kept getting mistaken with a high class hotel, like the corridor that Kizuna was currently walking, the carpet with luxurious fur and elegant wallpaper, calming indirect lighting, the pictures and decorative plants, all of those were of a quality that was not like a student dormitory at all.
Although, all of those were because this floor was of exclusive use for the Amaterasu team.
The one fighting the AUs magic weapons wearing the Heart Hybrid Gear, was the Amaterasu. For them who were shouldering such dangerous role, they were receiving a suitable treatment for that.
The other floors were not as extravagant as this floor, there was not even a private bathroom inside the rooms of the underclassmen.
That was why, there was a large bathroom installed in this dormitory.
On the contrary, there was an excellent bathroom inside Kizunas room, so he had no chance to enter the large bathroom.
Even before that, this place was a female dormitory.
Naturally, the large bathroom was for females exclusive use.
For the male student Kizuna to enter this female dormitory was also a strange story, but it was related with Kizunas special mission that was [Heart Hybrid].
Heart Hybrid was an act that recovered the energy called Hybrid Count by a male and a female possessing Heart Hybrid Gear, joining their hearts and bodies into one and shared their affection and pleasure.
Saying it bluntly, by doing erotic things that made each others feelings get excited, the energy would be recovered, that was what it meant.
Due to that kind of reason, Kizuna was encouraged to have illicit sexual relationship. Then, so that a mistaken occurrence could occur more easily, Kizuna was entered to live in the female dormitory with the arrangement of the school side.
They are insane.
It was none other than Kizuna himself who thought that.
Whether the school side gave him authorization or not, there was no way he could enter the womens bath.
But, today was special.
After all, the hot water of the bath today was from a hot spring.
They discovered a hot spring at the bottom of the sea, then the guys from the technology department pulled up the hot water and supplied it to the large bath of the dormitory.
However, that was limited to today.
From the beginning he was thinking of wanting to enter the dormitorys spacious bath, now that there was this chance, he would absolutely enter, that was his thinking.
Then, its fine for you to enter this evening. The cleaning after midnight will be postponed. Use it to your hearts content until morning.
Kizunas big sister, Hida Reiri spoke like that to Kizuna.
With a single order of the commander of Ataraxia, tonight the bath was reserved for Kizuna.
And then currently, he was heading to the large bathroom in this midnight where there was no presence of people.
Perhaps it would be fine for him to not go through all this trouble entering the female dormitorys bath by going to the male dormitory. However, he felt a danger to his life of trying to do that.
There were a lot of boys that envied Kizunas blessed(?) mission. The bunches who had their envious feeling sublimated to become resentment and hatred were not few in number. To intrude into the headquarters of such boys stark naked was a suicidal act.
Descending to the underground by elevator, he finally stood in front of the large bathroom.
Before the large sliding door, a sign that was written with large [] character was hung down. (TN: That character means hot water, read as yu)
Slipping through the sign, he opened the door noisily, the lighting was shining in glitters. The electricity was left on, but the place was deserted with no presence of humans that could be sensed. Only the sound of flowing hot water was audible, there was not even the sound of someone entering the bath.
After Kizuna closed the door, he took off his sandals and went up to the dressing room. He went through the lining up lockers on the left and right, then he suddenly looked to the side.
A white and large ass, was shaking like jelly.
Time stopped.
Eh?
Why?
It was the back figure of a beautiful girl.
With only a bath towel covering the breasts, a completely defenseless back figure was exposed.
Under the wet long black hair, was a constricted waist. From there the hips was greatly jutting out, continuing toward the slender and well-proportioned legs. The voluminous ass was drawing a circular curve at the base of the thighs.
This is bad.
This was obviously an accident, but he had the feeling it was going to become a serious affair if he was noticed. He should get out right now.
Kizuna backed off carefully so that no sound would come out.
If he was seen by people in this kind of timing, a stigma of pervert would undoubtedly get forced on him. Especially in the worst case that even Himekawa also discovered this
Just a little bit more, when it was just a little bit more, that girl was turning around.
Wha-!?
It was exactly that Himekawa Hayuru who was staring at Kizuna.
Kizuna froze.
Himekawa too, she didnt move as if being petrified.
On her skin that was colored faintly by pink color, the drops of hot water were shining.
The drops on her bosom were sliding down on her smooth skin, then it was absorbed into the valley of her breasts.
Her wet long black hair was clinging to her cheek and shoulders, it looked really sexy on her.
Even while his eyes were stolen by Himekawas figure that was just rising from the bath, his head was desperately thinking about the situation.
Why is Himekawa here?
This is strange isnt it? Isnt this place reserved for me?
The person I dont want to get caught by the most, is right here!
His thinking didnt result in anything.
Himekawas face was flushing before his eyes.
And then, her body was beginning to tremble little by little.
Yo, you see here, Hime
KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-!!
A scream like a torn silk reverberated inside the dormitory.
Wha-? Wh, wha, whats with this!? Thi, this, molester! Pervert! Just what in the world are you thinking-!!
Kizunas head was also completely panicked.
Tha, thats, thats my line here-! Just why is Himekawa in this kind of place!?
Steam was rising from Himekawas body that was warmed by the hot spring water. Right now such thing looked like nothing but an aura of rage.
Her eyes opened widely all of a sudden.
This place is the womens bath so obviously Im here!!
What she said, is the most correct.
No-! Thats correct but! I know but!
Himekawas eyes were burning in rage.
As I thought, so you are coming to peep arent you? This is a contemptible shameless act.
Wa, wait! Calm down, I oppose violence!
Neros!!
Himekawas body was wrapped in red light. That was the radiance that the Core installed inside Himekawas body emitted. The red light particles were gathering on the body surface and changing into physical material. The process was completely like magic.
After the radiance was completely converted into physical material, the light settled down. In exchange, the created armor was equipped on Himekawas body.
The luster that looked wet was pretty on the red colored armor. Its slender form was delicate, but it also possessed tenacity, giving off the impression like a sharp katana.
That was Himekawa Hayurus Heart Hybrid Gear, [Neros].
It had a main weapon of a single blade hung down on her hips, the [Sword(Vibrant Sharp Katana)]. Its silhouette was like a Japanese katana, but it had mechanical detail that was similar to the Heart Hybrid Gear. It severed not by physical touch, but by moving the particles that were generated by part of the blade at high speed, the touched thing was severed, such mechanism was how the sword worked. Its sharpness was terrific, making it possible for it to bisect a magic weapon that was far larger than the Sword with one slash.
And then one more weapon that the gear possessed, were the four long swords floating in reserve behind Himekawa.
Neros sure kill weapon, the [Blades].
The swords obeyed Himekawas will and soared freely without restriction in the air. It boasted peerless combat strength in middle range battle, large numbers of magic weapons had been slaughtered by those blades.
Such terrifying weapon was now directed at Kizuna.
Ca, calm down! You shouldnt put on your gear at all ri-eh?
Its useless for you to beg for your life this late. This kind of filthy act, is unforgivable!
Kizuna thought.
Originally, an exclusive pilot suit was worn in case of equipping Heart Hybrid Gear, because the specially made suit heightened the affinity of the body with the Heart Hybrid Gear.
However, the pilot suit was thin, it made one who saw it completely understand the body line and curve. He had even thought once that wasnt it the same with not wearing anything at all.
However, I was mistaken
A pilot suit was valid.
Ha? What are you saying?
What happened!? Hayuru!
The door was opened with a loud sound.
A, Aine!?
The one who entered the dressing room was a girl with silver hair and red eyes. It was Chidorigafuchi Aine, the one with the Heart Hybrid Gear [Zeros] residing inside that body.
Everything is exactly just like you see!
Himekawa vented a yell of rage, but Aine tilted her head.
Even if you told me that its exactly as it looks like
Aine knitted her eyebrows and glared at Kizuna.
What in the world is this situation, I wonder if I can receive an explanation?
Eeerrr, that
Losing her temper from that kind of exchange, Himekawa yelled.
That perverted man was sneaking into the womens bath that I was in! Molester, pervert!
Aine further knitted her eyebrows and tilted her head.
If I have to say which is which, Hayurus side is the one that look perverted though.
Haa-!? Just what in the world are you sayin
There Himekawa dropped her gaze and confirmed her own appearance.
The bath towel that should hide her appearance was torn to pieces, dropping below her feet.
Her breath stopped from the great shock.
That time when the gear was equipped?
As if saying that it was unbelievable, she looked at the large mirror on the wall.
There, a girl with Heart Hybrid Gear put on her totally naked upper body was standing there.
That appearance, was truly perverted.
A female pervert.
Aine declared coldly.
In the first place, the area that the armor of Heart Hybrid Gear covered was little. However Neros was a model that covered a comparatively wide area with its armor. With the shoulder pads and the parts that protected the front part of the body, and the shield spreading in skirt shape on the waist and so on, Neros defensive power was far higher compared to the likes of Zeros.
However, with how solid its guard was, unexpectedly its chest and crotch part, and also its ass part, the essential areas had no armor for some reason, those places only depended on the pilot suit.
Therefore, there was nothing protecting those parts right now.
Kizuna had his eyes stolen by that unrealistic sight.
The wet skin reflected the light of the ceiling, creating a bewitching luster at her skin.
The pink topping placed smally on the wet breasts stole his eyes whether he wanted it or not with its fresh color and lustrous appearance.
If one was a man, then he surely would want to touch and enjoy its sensation, put it inside his mouth and enjoy the taste. There was no way he didnt think of that from looking at such a luscious sight.
And then, when he dropped his gaze from her breast, his eyes would catch the amorous ribs. From her largely indented solar plexus connected toward her waist that looked so thin that it looked unreliable.
That delicate and supple curve was really suggestive, it unconditionally stimulated his instincts.
Furthermore, below the navel the place that was gently swelling, even further below that was
KYAAAAAAAAAA-!
Himekawas scream reverberated inside the dormitory once more.
She hid her breast with both her arms and turned her back to him to protect herself.
Do-, dont look! Please dont lookkkk-!
Kizuna turned behind in panic.
Ye, yeah-! Im turning back so, its buh-!?
However, behind him was also a mirror.
The white glossy ass entered his eyes. It was as though Neros red armor was hollowed only in that place, making the white ass poke out. It was as if Neros was framing the ass to make it stand out. Each time Himekawa twisted her body, that ass danced to the left and right. That ass was a little big for the slender Himekawa, a type that could give easy delivery for baby. The tight and smooth surface looked like it would feel really pleasant to touch.
Hii-!?
Noticing that, Himekawa panickedly hid her ass with both her hands. This time her breasts became exposed bare once more. Matching her backward movement, her breasts shook up and down like jelly.
There was no way for her to hide at all.
Hey, Kizuna. Is this what is called naked dancing?
Do-! Dont know! Im not seeing anything!
No more, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-!
From the back of Himekawa that completely snapped, Himekawas sure kill weapon, the Blades, were launched.
Reiri who was unusually located in the principals office asked with an amazed voice.
You guys, just how many time you need to destroy the dormitory until you are satisfied?
The next day, Kizuna and Himekawa were summoned to the principals office and receive a lecture about the situation.
I am reflecting about how the bathing facility is completely destroyed. But! That was a force majeure. I cannot ever imagine that a boy will enter into the public bath!
However, Kizuna had settled in the girl dormitory. Naturally, he has the right to use the public bath. How can you not assume that?
Tha, thats preposterous! Is Kizuna-kun intending to enter the public bath from now on too!?
Himekawas questioning gaze was reproaching Kizuna.
No, no, no way. Its just, yesterday I had made the reservation for the bath at night.
Reservation?
Himekawa made a dubious face.
Eh? You didnt know?
Kizuna also made a wondering face.
Even though all the students in the dormitory was supposed to be notified already.
Aah, I didnt tell that to Himekawa. I told her to do some pointless errand and guided her so that she entered at that time.
Wait, so this is your doing Nee-channnn-!!
This chapter upload first at NovelUsb.Com
Just why in the world, what purpose there is for that! Commander!
With a dangerously threatening look, Himekawa hit the desk of the principals office.
No, thats because the relation between Kizuna and Himekawa doesnt progress at all. And so I thought, maybe it would be better if I prepare an event. Though sadly it completely ended in an unfortunate result.
Whats unfortunate is you commander! For you to behave like this, I completely misjudged you!
However Reiri talked back with a cool face.
Im the one who should ask what is your intention. I should have ordered you to do Heart Hybrid with Kizuna. Just when are you planning to actually carry it out?
Thathats! Tha, that kind of order, is invalid-. I cannot accept it!
Dont say something selfish.
Sel-!?
Himekawa tightened her fist, her shoulder was shaking.
Kizuna, how many percent Himekawas Hybrid Count right now?
Kizuna took out his student identification that also doubled as portable information terminal from his inside pocket. Its external shape was like a smartphone, but various functions were installed in it.
When he tapped the Amaterasu icon, the vital signs of the members were displayed.
Himekawas Hybrid Count is 28%. Certainlyits going to be dangerous soon I think.
Hybrid Count was the unit of the energy that operated Heart Hybrid Gear. The yellow zone was when it passed below 25%, red zone was when it became below 10%. When it became below 5%, it would become hard even for maintaining the Heart Hybrid Gear materialized.
If the Heart Hybrid Gear was called off in the middle of battle, it wasnt hard to imagine that the situation would become extremely dangerous. Even if she were saved, to be unable to equip the Heart Hybrid Gear meant that she didnt have any method to battle magic weapon. In other word, the Megafloat Japan would turn powerless against the enemy.
Listen well, Himekawa. This is something that is affecting your life. By no means Im ordering this on a whim or for a laugh. You too Kizuna. Take your mission more seriously.
Even without something like Heart Hybrid, doing shameless thing like that, our Hybrid Count will naturally recover by itself! Why, is waiting for that no good!?
Natural recovery..you asked?
Reiri smiled and reclined on her chair, she entrusted her body on the back of the chair.
Then Ill ask, two weeks has passed since the last battle hasnt it? Then, your Hybrid Count, how much it has recovered?
Thathats
Himekawa faltered.
It was only natural.
Kizuna whispered inside his heart.
3%.
Correct. Just a mere 3%.
Kizuna too thought that perhaps the sensor was broken, to the degree that he brought it to the lab once to be inspected. However, the number was correct.
What are you going to do if the enemy appears right now? To take care of your condition is also the requisite of battle. Be diligent.
Kuh
Himekawa bit her lips and turned around.
Following after her, Kizuna was also going to exit the room.
Ah, thats right.
Kizuna recalled the question that he had felt since before. He stopped in place and turned back at Reiri.
By the way, I want to ask one thing.
What?
If the Hybrid Count is used up, what is going to happen to us?
Reiris lips were forming a tight line.
I can imagine that the Heart Hybrid Gear will stop operating buthow would it happen more specifically? For example, are we going to become unable to use the gear for the second time? Or the Core is going to separate itself from usI wonder, will something happen?
Reiri rotated her chair and turned her back to Kizuna.
I cannot say anything yet. The research is still in progress by Kei in the lab.
Reiri was staring at the scenery outside. Kizuna was unable to take a peek at her expression.
Is that so? Got it.
Kizuna left behind the principals room.
Hearing the footsteps turning distant, Reiri heaved a deep sigh.
From the window, the construction site of Ataraxias restoration was visible.
The Strategic Defense Academy Ataraxia was independent from Megafloat Japan, it was a megafloat with diameter around three kilometer, the foremost line in anti-AU technology. With research institutions of various sorts as the core, educational institutions from university until middle school were established that trained excellent researcher and military personnel.
This Ataraxia was shouldering the defense of Megafloat Japan, Ataraxia itself had unmanned city defense facilities installed in great numbers in it, like particle cannon disguised as building, or missile launching pad disguised as plaza.
However, in the previous battle all of those were completely destroyed.
Right now the repair work was advanced in quick pace. In addition, the destroyed commercial establishment, the collapsing street, and the essential utilities. The construction work for rebuilding and restoring all of those was carried out everywhere.
It was a heartbreaking scar of battle, but to end up only with this much after receiving the bombardment of that large battleship, it could be said that it was a good result.
And then there was a method to easily restore the damage, it was a salvation.
Reiri thought so.
What was waiting for Kizuna and Himekawa who returned to the classroom, was the inquisitive gaze of all their classmates.
Hey Himekawa-san, is it true that you two entered the bath together at midnight!?
Eeh!? Even though she is a public moral committee member? Amazinggg!?
Isnt it erotic washing each other at the bathroom? He, hey, a boys that
What are you doing inside Hida-kuns room until morning-?
Its in Himekawa-sans room I think? At the morning the two took shower before going to school.
Furthermore, various embellishments were added to it.
The students who were full of interest were not only from Kizunas second year first group. At the window that faced the corridor, students from other class were clustering. From there, gazes filled with resentment and killing intent were piercing Kizunas body. Mainly from boys.
E, everyone. Please stop being irresponsible. All of those are lies, utter nonsense!
Himekawa denied all those rumors thoroughly. However, she was greatly embarrassed from the reaction of the crowding classmates.
I too have to cooperate to prove my innocence.
Kizuna stood up from his chair and went toward the crowd that was surrounding Himekawa.
Hey, everyone. Its exactly as Himekawa said. All of those are just baseless rumors. There is no way at all that we were doing anything like that.
However, the doubting gazes of the classs girls were gathering on Kizuna all at once.
No, butyou are Eros.
Yeah, he might really do ithe is Eros after all.
Rather, its stranger if he didnt actually did itits Eros after all.
Just waitttttt!
N, no, everyone, wai
Himekawa glared at him with a terrifying eyes.
Hida-kun, please go to the other side. If you interfere, even something true will not be believed.
Wasnt that too heartless?
However, the reality had resulted like that, so he couldnt say anything back.
Hey, Kizuna. I wonder if you have a little time?
A blonde haired blue eyed beautiful girl was calling to him. Her dynamite body was as though it had come out right from international gravure. Just by walking normally, the breasts wrapped inside the uniform shook bouncingly, a preposterous bust size.
One of the Amaterasu, the pilot of Heart Hybrid Gear [Cross], Yurishia Farandole.
Yurishia, is something wroguhahka!!
His collar was grasped and he was dragged until his seat.
WaiYu, Yurishiapa, painful!
He was made sat on his own chair as if being thrown onto it.
Wha, what are you doing
Yurishia who was standing imposingly in front of him was smilingbut, her eyes were not smiling at all.
From her whole body, aura was rising up slowlywas how it looked like.
I heard that you entered bath together with Hayuru, what is that about I wonder? Tell me the detail?
Sca, scaryyy!
Yurishias smile was scary!
Ca, calm down Yurishia. Thats a misunderstanding. Thats not a fact.
Then, you two didnt enter bath together?
After making a relieved face, Yurishia took her seat that was behind Kizuna.
While smiling cheerfully, she took out a pen for touch panel use from her pen case.
Uuin, in other words, we didnt enter the bathit was just by chance that we met in the dressing room.
Together with *baki-* such sound of destruction, the pen in Yurishias hand was broken.
Hmmm, is that soo
What grip strength!
This was really bad, he was strangely sweating.
Then, how could it be, that you by chance met each other in the dressing room of the public bath, I wonder if you can teach mee-
While taking out the replacement pen from the pen case, Yurishia showed an elegant smile.
No, thatsthat
By any chance, if he made a miss in his answer here, would he get killed in this place?
Such feeling of terror crept up Kizunas back.
The commander didnt tell Hayuru of the time when Kizuna was going to use the public bath. And then, Hayuru who came home late bumped into Kizuna there.
Without even looking at Yurishia, Aine calmly slipped in some words about the circumstance.
Whats with that, arent you extremely well informed?
Well, I also happened to be present in the actual scene.
Hee..then, Aine, you are not bothered? That was a naked appeal you know? You are not thinking that Kizuna might be tempted?
Aine sent Kizuna a glance.
Not particularly. That thing yesterday was simply an accident. It was just Hayuru dancing naked on her own accord.
Yurishia glared at Aine with doubtful eyes.
You are awfully composed arent you, Aine.
BecauseKizuna, he said to methat he will take responsibility.
*beki-* together with that sound of destruction, Yurishias second pen was broken.
Kizunathe meaning of what she said just now, can you give me an explanation I can comprehend?
The raised eyebrows and cold eye glint that were in inverse proportion with the smile on the lips were capturing Kizuna.
Uooo, a beautiful womans angry face is unbelievably scaryyyy!
Yurishia was the former ace of [Masters].
Masters was like the Amaterasu of Japan, the Heart Hybrid Gear team of America. Before the 2ndAnother Universe Conflict occurred, she arrived at Ataraxia due to Americas joint strategy with Japan. And then, since then she was fighting until now as a member of Amaterasu.
She had shot down more than three hundred magic weapons, even now she was the worlds super ace with record that was still updating.
If he was glared by such person, it was not an exaggeration to even say that it was the end of his life.
But, just why was he being condemned by Yurishia this much?
N, no! Even if I said responsibility, it was a talk about life counseling! This was Aines usual nonsense! Isnt that right, Ainee?
Aine drifted off muddy black miasma around her, she also glared at him with piercing eyes.
This girl-, what, what was with this cursing gaze!?
Forced to a three-way deadlock with Kizuna in a situation that left him cringing with fear, a salvation barely reached him.
Yoo. You guys, get to your seat
Sakisaka-sensei entered the class room as usual with her red jersey.
Then we are starting classwait, whats the subject again?
Sakasaki-sensei was operating like usual.
Anyway he was saved.
Pretending not noticing the dark aura of the two girls, he loaded the class data.
Thereupon, the content of the geography class was displayed on the monitor. This was the present time geography, namely Megafloat Japans geography and structure etc, this class was teaching the fundamental knowledge. Regarding the worlds state of affairs and the other countries megafloats too, if they obtained new information, that information would be reflected on the teaching material immediately.
Aah, yeah yeah, geography isnt it? Though I say, even the world map is lacking in usefulness right now though
The wall in front of the classroom became a screen using its whole surface. There, the megafloats of each world countries were projected.
The current shape of country right now is this. Frankly, we completely dont know which country is in which sea right now. Well, we could unexpectedly meet them by chance though
Each country had various shape and size.
Japans Megafloat had long and slender shape, it was vaguely imaged like Japans archipelago. In reality, each region float was linked in a row that was the same like their position in old Japan.
And then, even among the lined up each countries float, the ones with conspicuous size were Rusia, and then America. If it was just size then Russia won, but what was amazing from Ameica was that Americas east coast and west coast had one Megafloat each.
The Megafloat looked like that it might be even twice the size of Japans, furthermore there were two of those.
Kizuna was staring absentmindedly at the form of Megafloat West USA. It looked like a streamlined enormous submarine.
The one that Japan is likely to meet across might be West USA I think, they are supposedly in Pacific Ocean. Their float is attached with submerging function, it seems that it can move underwater like submarine you know, I dont know for sure though.
It was a lenient lesson like always.
This second year first class was the top class of combat department, but by no means that this class was only doing combat training.
Modern Japanese and classical literature, history and geography, general education was also properly taught here. It was just that there was no full-time teacher for each of those curriculum, almost all lesson was given by the homeroom teacher Sakisaka Saki.
What made that possible was because the class lesson had been turned into data and fundamentally the teacher only needed to run the class program.
Of course, they employed full time lecturer regarding the curriculum with high specialization like art or music. However, the number of teacher was few in contrast with the number of student. Because of that, the teacher didnt participate in students management or civic guidance outside the class at all. Therefore, independent control management of student was necessary.
The public morals committee that Himekawa belonged to was also one of those, in order to protect the public morals and order of Ataraxia, they were working day and night.
I think thats praiseworthy in that case, but.
With a sidelong glance, Kizuna took a peek at Himekawas face from the side.
As expected, didnt she look tired?
He recalled the matter that Reiri told him just now while looking at Himekawas side profile.
{Just when in the world are you planning to do Heart Hybrid with Kizuna?}
Certainly, the remaining Hybrid Count of Himekawa was little.
If enemy appeared, she might met dangerous experience like Yurishia before this. Where her Hybird Count became empty in the middle of battle.
Even if he was waiting, there was no way Himekawa would be the one who became motivated to do this.
Ive got to do something.
However, Himekawa was really fastidious, she didnt think of him favorably.
First he had to obtain Himekawas trust.
In order to do that.
The work of public morals committee?
Himekawa faced him with a difficult expression.
Yeah, I want to help.
After school, Kizuna came to the student guidance room and requested Himekawa.
It was fortunate that no one was inside the room except Himekawa. Thanks to that, he could talk without reservation.
Himekawa crossed her arm and made a complicated face.
I dont know what are you thinking, but do you understand your own standing? No one will consent to you entering the supervising side.
Thats why. Im not doing erotic thing by my own will, thats what I want to proof.
Kizuna desperately appealed to Himekawa.
I want everyone to understand, that what Im doing is due to mission, I myself is a proper human being. If I do that, then I wont have any guilty conscience in doing Heart Hybrid, even Himekawa, you wont have any sense of inferiority toward everyone with that right?
Himekawa showed a surprised face.
You arethinking about me?
Even I dont do all that because I like it, but I understand that in the end Himekawa feels ashamed because of my fault. Thats why, I want to be of any help even for a little.
However, Himekawa was staring at Kizuna as if evaluating him with a dubious expression.
After pondering for a while,
I understand, fine then.
Really!?
Kizuna raised a joyful voice.
Yes. But, I too will determine what kind of person Hida-kun is, through this work as public morals committee.
Thank you. Take care of me then.
Yes, me too. Please take care of me.
After saying that, Himekawa suddenly smiled gently.
That smiling face of Himekawa, was unreasonably lovely.
Kizuna felt like he received a surprise attack.
That smile was graceful, gentle, soft like the sunlight of spring, a warm smile.
In that smile, not even a little of her usual harsh atmosphere could be felt.
Is something the matter?
Ah, no. It is I who should say, take care of me!
Kizuna lowered his head quickly to hide his reddened face.
Exposing First case
This is Himekawa Hayuru of public morals committee. You peeping-toms are caught red handed, obediently hand over yourself!
Geh! This is bad!
Himekawa and Kizuna opened the door and rushed to the rooftop, there, three male students were lying on their stomach peeking through telescope. It seemed that they were trying to peek at the girls changing clothes in the classroom. They were thorough in that they were using telescope that was equipped with recording function.
When Kizuna took away their telescope, he examined which maker it was from.
Which reminded him, last week there was a popular topic about an uploaded video of girls changing in the net. Someone commented that the image was taken using a particular lens butso that was because it was not using camera, but a telescope then?
You guysthat means, the changing video uploaded in the net before this was also
Yo, youre wrong! We, we didnt know anything like that!
Yeah, yeah! Thats a false accusation!
The peeking students yelled the same thing unanimously. Their desperation only made him even more suspicious.
Well, we will understand soon enough if its investigated. Dont be so worried if you guys really didnt do it.
Hida-kun, what are you talking about?
Himekawa tilted her head.
Aah, actually in the net last week, there was a popular topic about the peeking video of Ataraxia female students. Perhaps that video was taken using this telescope, thats what Im talking about.
That kind of thing
Himekawa made a shocked face, but she immediately glared at the peeping-toms with a severe gaze.
What a shocking thing to do in this emergency time. Tomorrow, show your faces in the student guidance room! I will pursue your other crime thoroughly.
The expressions of the three male students became puzzled for a moment, but they immediately showed a relieved smile.
Ye, yeah. Got it, tomorrow yeah.
Hmph, I see.
Himekawa, can we lock these guys room and all electronic devices they have?
Wha-!?
The three froze.
Eh? Thats, I think we can if we request it but
Then, do that. If not, they are going to make the evidence disappear today.
Stop it! Dont you have this thing called compassion-!
With a grim gaze, Himekawa scowled at the male students.
I have no compassion for people who act cowardly like peeping!
The three collapsed on the floor from great despair.
Exposing Second case
This is Himekawa Hayuru of public morals committee! Im carrying out examination due to the suspicion of carrying prohibited item. Hand over your luggage obediently!
Himekawas dignified voice resounded inside the book preparation room.
Inside the room that was full of dust, around six male students were gathering. On top of the desk, a bag filled to the burst with books, and then several books were lined up.
They were porn books.
Photo collection, illustration album, and then porn manga.
The moment Himekawa saw their cover, her face turned red in a flash.
Wha, what inappropriate thingsthi, this is an obvious violation of school regulation! They are all confiscated, further punishment will also be decided in the student guidance room!
Damn, a crackdown!
Take the thing and run!
One person grasped the bag on the table and rushed out of the room.
Wait!
Kizuna tried to pursue, but the other five were standing in his way.
Please dont be a hindrance!
Himekawa took the hand of one of them and beautifully fling him away.
Uwaa, amazing.
It looked like Aikido or something. Even though he didnt see her putting any strength, the opponents body floated lightly on the air. His back hit the floor hard, leaving him writhing around on the floor.
Looking at that, the other students who got scared opened the path.
Hida-kun, we are chasing after him!
Rogeuwaa!?
The moment they came out to the corridor, something was passing through in front of their eyes.
Heart Hybrid Gear!?
The male student wearing armor on his body was flying in the corridor.
In his hand was the bag that was taken away in the escape just now.
Thats the guy! But, whats that!?
Thats the Heart Hybrid Gear for practice use introduced from this week!
So thats what it was!
Kizuna remembered.
That was the Heart Hybrid Gear for practice use, developed by Shikina Kei of Nayuta Lab.
[Technical Gear]
Originally, if a Core was not installed inside the pilots body, a Heart Hybrid Gear couldnt be equipped. In other words, the time one could actually start practicing was only after the Core was installed.
Timewise it was also something pointless, there was also the risk of the student with aptitude for the core, yet after the Core was installed, it turned out that the student actually didnt have the talent as a pilot.
From there, this Technical Gear was developed.
Created from all the existing technology, it was a replica of Heart Hybrid Gear.
Of course, the spec was far from the real Heart Hybrid Gear.
Even so, it would be useful in cultivating human resources, a great result was expected from it.
Despite so, right now its used for absconding with porn books of all thing-!
Most likely, he is the student in charge of the test flight! This is a complete mistake in personnel selection!
Kizuna and Himekawa began to run chasing after the flying student. However, they couldnt possibly catch up by running.
We will lose him at this rate! We are also going-!
Himekawa spoke resolutely with a face like a hero of justice.
Eh? Dont tell me
Neros!!
The body of Himekawa that dashed through the corridor shined red.
When the bright light was gone, there was Himekawa there with red armor wrapping her body on her uniform.
She ignited her thruster, causing gale blowing in the corridor. The unique sound of ejected particle roared and Himekawas body flew until the end of the corridor in a flash.
Shi, shit, do I have to equip mine too?
Because Himekawa equipped her gear, the attention of the students in the corridor was gathered to him. On the contrary, because of the commotion, even the students inside the classroom also rushed outside.
Was he going to shout that amidst all this? That word?
In the center of this many people, must he shout that word?
He dont wanna!
He rejected it firmly!
There was no doubt that it would add more to his shame, like pouring oil to fire, it would be talked over again through the whole school.
However, if he didnt hurry, he wouldnt be able to help Himekawa. If right here he helped in apprehending the criminal, perhaps the trust value in him would go up.
.
damn it all,
Im gonna do it!
Kizuna shouted half in abandonment.
Eros!!
Kizunas body was wrapped in pink radiance emitted by the Core.
From below, a black glittering armor appeared. It released luster of silver brightness, and then pink colored line of luminescence ran through the whole surface.
Kizunas Heart Hybrid Gear, [Eros].
He fired his thruster and accelerated all at once. He slipped through the gap of the students and rushed through the corridor. When he arrived at the end of the path, he flew heading up through the stair.
He was wearing Heart Hybrid Gear not with pilot suit but with his uniform, so he couldnt display the gears original performance.
In the first place, this was the powerless Eros. If he was not careful, it might be overtaken even against Technical Gear. However, he couldnt complain here.
Himekawa! Where are you right now?
Around his body, several transparent screens appeared. Various sorts of information and parameter were displayed there, these were floating windows.
Inside one of it, Himekawas figure was projected.
Right now Im in first years building. Im not mistaken in coming here, but I lost him. Im chasing him through the south path, so Hida-kun, can you search from the opposite path?
Roger!
From the stair of the fifth floor, he once again entered the corridor.
The students at the corridor were panicking from the suddenly appearing Heart Hybrid Gear.
He passed through them barely from the side.
It was easy to avoid the surprised students who stood stock still. However, the moving one made it difficult.
Kizuna tried to pass through from above the students head and raised his altitude barely below the ceiling.
However, there were some protrusions above, each time he had to lower his altitude. Then unexpectedly the gap he could dodge was limited, making it all the more dangerous instead.
When he lowered his altitude thinking that, the door opened and a long stick was jutted out.
!?
From the history preparation room, a female student carrying a retro map appeared.
Ku!
He barely avoided it by flying low on the floor.
Kyaaa!
He left far behind the flowing scream of the female student.
Like that he kept flying in low altitude where he almost touched the floor. The wind pressure from his flying was flipping up the skirts of the female students one after another, but there was no time to watch in fascination. Soon the corner would come. He turned at the corner doing his utmost so that his speed wouldnt drop.
However, the wall approached without him unable to turn.
Chih!
Kizuna reached out his foot and he landed on the wall with his body still horizontal with the floor.
And then he kicked.
The wall broke opening a hole, but he succeeded in turning. Furthermore he got additional acceleration. In exchange a wall became sacrifice, but, well it couldnt be helped.
! There-!
Crossing the corridor ahead, a Technical Gear could be seen.
Kizuna followed after it and turned at the corner.
And then he pursued straight through the corridor in earnest.
Himekawa! I found him. Im in the middle of pursuit at the connecting path of the third years building. At this rate, Ill catch up to him at the second years building.
A T-junction approached before his eyes.
At the end of the path was coincidentally the classroom of Kizuna and others, the second year first group. From the window at the corridor, the situation inside was visible. If he didnt quickly decelerate, he would crash into the classroom at this rate.
However, the Technical Gear didnt show any sign of decelerating.
Dont tell me,
Just like that, the Technical Gear crashed the window and flew into the classroom.
You asshole! Thats just too reckless.
The Technical Gear passed through the class like that and headed outside the building.
The escapee was too agitated and he lost his normal judgment.
Shit, Im going to get away like this! Now that this humiliation has been exposed for all to see, Ill rather run away from Ataraxia! Im free! I
However, ahead of him was not freedom.
What was ahead was a red Heart Hybrid Gear. What was ahead was the future where his punishment was waiting.
You wont get away!
Himekawa drew out the Sword on her hips.
U-. UWAWAWAAAAA-!
The Technical Gear couldnt decelerate immediately, it kept heading toward Neros like that.
HAA-!
A flash filled with fighting spirit. Himekawa faced the Technical Gear and slashed her Sword.
The male student wearing it was not hurt, only the harness connecting the Technical Gear with the student was bisected with paper thin difference. The separated Technical Gear and the male student fell down to the pool.
Himekawa! You were waiting in ambush?
When Kizuna flew out from the classroom window, he flew toward Himekawas position.
Yes. Thanks to Hida-kun chasing him, I can prepare ahead of him.
Is that soits great that I can be of help. But
Kizuna looked down at the student floating on the pool.
No need to worry. The person is not hurt.
The student wasnt wounded, only the linking part with the gear was bisected, that was really an amazing skill.
But, welllooks like he is also quite damaged.
Looking at the male student who was losing consciousness while floating on the pool, Himekawa averted her gaze awkwardly.
Tha, thathe has to reflect a little soto end with only this much cannot be helped isnt it?
Looking at Himekawa whose cheek was reddening from guilt, Kizuna unintentionally snorted.
Wh, whats with that reaction?
N, no, nothing. Im just thinking, that this will become a talk once more in school.
He answered while holding back his laugh.
Himekawa glared at Kizuna with disgruntled face,
Hmph, how mean.
She averted her face irritably.
Butcertainly, if good deeds like this are piled upperhaps someday, a day will come where it will be recognized, and forgiven
?
The side profile of Himekawa who was saying that was,
Seemed as if she was smiling,
It looked fleeting somehow,
For some reason, it also looked sad.
Himekawa?
Eh? Ah, no, its nothing at all. Hida-kun too, surely the opinion of everyone about you will rise with this case today. Do your best with this momentum!
Ou! As an apprentice public morals committee member, Ill do my best to not bring shame for the committee!
However, the next day,
Hida Kizuna Strike Again!? In the broad daylight, he was witnessed yelling [Im gonna do it] and [Eros]. On top of flipping up the skirts of female students, he was involved in a scuffle for the sake of obtaining porn books!!
Kizuna at this time still didnt know, that the school newspaper with that kind of headline was going to appear.
Exposing Third case
This is Himekawa Hayuru of public morals committee! What are you two doing here!
Together with Himekawas yelling voice that was like a grim demon, the door of the athletic warehouse was opened.
There were a second year male student and a first year female student embracing each other on top of a mat.
The buttons of their uniforms were unbuttoned, both of them had their underwear taken off.
Wha--
Himekawas face turned bright red.
Aah geez! Why are our students just keep causing shameless problem like this!?
So, son of a bitch! Why are we gotten found out?
Se, senpai, I told you already that this is risky
The couple buttoned their shirts in panic while beginning to quarrel unsightly.
Himekawa cleared her throat then read up the offence charges with her face still red.
You two are clearly in violation of Ataraxia high school student council regulation paragraph five, [Illicit sexual relationship is forbidden inside the school]. You cannot make any excuse after getting caught red-handed like this.
Isnt this fine, just overlook this! Even you guys are doing the same thing right?
Himekawas face stiffened with a snap.
What are you
You guys are doing erotic things however you like while cracking down on us like this, thats just unfair! Something like that is too sly!
I, I dont
What the hell are you saying!
Kizuna muscled in right in front of Himekawa.
Hi, Hida-kun?
We are doing that because of mission! We are not doing that just because of our desire! Besides, Himekawa still hasnt do anything like this. Are you guys thinking at all, just how much Himekawa who has hard-headed feeling is worrying about this, huh!
Kizunas menacing look shut up the couple with a puzzled look.
Himekawa too, she was staring at Kizunas face dazedly.
Ah
When Himekawa returned to her senses, she confirmed the identity of the students with her information terminal.
Then, I will report this case. Later, a verdict will come from the academy. Until then please take your class as usual.
At that time, the bell that informed of the end of the school that day rang out.
Thats it for todaylets go home, Hida-kun.
Like that, the activity of public morals committed this day came to an end.
Kizuna and Himekawa returned to the student guidance room, and after they prepared to return home they exited the classroom.
Outside had become dark completely, there was also almost no student remaining. Inside the school became all the more quiet, only the sounds of their footsteps reverberated strangely loud.
The illumination of the corridor and stair had been mostly turned off, the white wall and floor were beautifully reflecting the blue indirect lighting running on the wall.
Himekawa, you are always remaining in school until this late?
Yes. Because there is no end of students causing problem.
Hahaha
He understood that from acting together with Himekawa these few days, as long as there were students remaining in school, there would be some fellows that were causing some kind of trouble. In that case, even when in this time when it was time to go home, such thing was not impossible.
Both of the walked side by side, descending down the stair.
Butthere is also good thing you know?
Eh?
The school at night is really quiet, it calms me down.
Is that soa lot of people thought that the school at night is scary. But Himekawa is fine with that?
Yes. Because, isnt it beautiful?
Himekawa stopped at the stairs landing.
Kizuna didnt notice that and went down a few steps before turning back.
Behind Himekawa, there was a large window of the stairs landing.
The radiant light of the moon shined in from the window, making Himekawas contour shined beautifully.
When Himekawa looked up to the sky, her long black hair spread gently.
As though princess Kaguya had came from the moon. Such words suddenly floated in his mind.
Yeahbeautiful.
Right? The light of stars and moon are
No, Himekawa is
Ha!?
Himekawas face became red, she was greatly flustered.
Wha, what, what are you fooling around for, enough with the joke, le, lets go home quickly
Himekawa that tried to go down the stairs panickedly missed her step.
Kyaaa!?
Himekawas body floated on the air as if she was thrown.
Hime!!
Kizuna immediately spread his two hands and caught her body.
He hugged the falling body of Himekawa right from the front. His balance crumbled, but he was only staggered for two, three stairs before he somehow held his ground.
Hi, Hida, kun
Himekawa
Kizuna received a shock from the sensation of Himekawa inside his arms.
How,
She was slender, that it felt unreliable.
If he just put a little more strength, it felt like she would break.
She was completely different with Aine and Yurishia.
But, she was soft, and supple.
E, err, Hida-kunI
Himekawas face was really close.
A well-ordered face, like a doll.
Her beautiful skin that was like porcelain was dyed in light pink.
Inside her moist eyes, red particles of lights were,
Eh-?
From Himekawas body, red light began to came out.
Hi, Hida-kun, this iswhat.
From Kizunas body too, pink colored light particles were raising up.
No way,
Heart Hybrid.
Eeh-!?
At that instant, light burst out.
Was just now..really Heart Hybrid?
However, this was not even something eroticwasnt it?
Err
Eh? Aah, just now, I think thats Heart Hybrid butjust why it happened, I dont
Re, release me
Himekawa whispered with a vanishing voice.
Eh! Ah! So, sorry.
He was still hugging her all that time.
Kizuna helped Himekawa stood up in panic and released his hand.
Sorry, Himekawa. That happened so quick, I just
No, thatI was the one who got helped, so
Himekawas face was red and her eyes looked down.
However, while she was telling him to release herit was puzzling that Himekawas hand kept clutching his clothes. Well, perhaps she was still feeling disoriented.
Im sorry, reallythat, the body, of someone like meeven if you touch it, its not pleasant at all. Forgive me to make you feel uncomfortable like that.
What was she running her mouth about?
No, I dont really understand what are you trying to say butits not, uncomfortable or anything like that at all.
But, Im not like Aine-san or Yurishia-san, my style is not good
Himekawas fingers fidgeted around.
Aah, usually Aine always made fun of her, So, she actually received those joke seriously like this?
Regarding a girls style, I think its impolite to say this and that but, Ill say it clearly because of this situation. Himekawa, your style is really great.
Lies! Boys like girl with large breast right? My breast is small like this!
Himekawas fingers still clutched at the collar of Kizunas uniform while she shook her hand fiercely.
The neck hurt, the neck!
Tha-, thats why, why are you comparing yourself to those girls in Miss Universe class! Even your breast is big enough! Beside, that thing is nothing more than a part of someones charm right!?
Himekawas hand stopped.
Is it really true?
Its true. Im serioushm, eh, where is my phone?
Kizuna groped around his pocket and took out his smartphone. And then he checked Himekawas Hybrid Count.
38%! Himekawa, you recovered by 10% see! We did it!!
10%? Thatseven though I only recovered 3% after two weeks
With just an instant like that, it recovered the portion of six weeks?
This was.
This isHeart Hybrid.
That instant.
Her chest was throbbing,
Painfully,
But, it was a mysterious feeling, like her heart was satisfied.
Unexpectedly, it might not feel bad.
Himekawa, something wrong?
Hya!? No-nothing wrong!
? Then, lets go home.
Yo, you dont need to tell me, Im going home!
Himekawa took the lead and descended down the stairs with quick steps.
Doing that with meis not bad, how could.
So that her red face wouldnt get exposed, and so Kizuna couldnt catch up to her, she headed to the entrance with quick steps.
