Volume 12 - CH 3(1/3)
“..................”
Ellen was walking down the corridor of the temporary DEM industries building while perking up her shoulders in irritation.
Her mouth was twisted to a へshape, her eyebrows were brought closer to make a frown and her walking seemed somewhat violent. For the strongest- Ellen, who has dedicated to fulfill her everyday life with an elegant behavior; this was a rare occasion.
However, that’s only normal. That’s because, even though she was not in her wiring suits, she was totally toyed with by Itsuka Shidou who’s supposed to be a normal human. There was no higher humiliation than this, to the prideful Ellen.
“..........kuh”
That hateful young man’s face floats up her mind each time she thinks about it. After Ellen gritted her teeth, she clenched her fist with a *Don*! before punching the corridor wall.
“Auuu..........”
It was more painful than expected. She crouched down on the spot with teary eyes and rubbed her hand.
Nonetheless, this was not the time for her to being doing that. Yes, right after she get back to the building, Ellen was told that she was being called by Westcott. After Ellen regained her composure, she rode the elevator and headed to her goal before knocking on the door.
“----Ike. It’s me”
“Aah, enter”
“I’ll be intruding”
After a short reply, she opened the door. Just like usual, Westcott was leisurely sitting down on a chair as if he was waiting for Ellen.
“Sorry, for calling you all of a sudden”
“No-----Did something happen with [Material A]?”
If he had business with Ellen at this timing, that’s the only thing she could think of. She said that without breaking her posture. Westcott made an exaggerated shrug.
“Yeah, that’s also one of it. Apparently, <Nightmare> attacked us when the transporter was about to take off”
“By <Nightmare>.......?”
Ellen frowned her eyebrows when she heard that name. <Nightmare> Tokisaki Kurumi. Unlike the other Spirits, she’s still lurking around without receiving <Ratatoskr>’s protection; she’s a mysterious Spirit. She’s someone who holds a deep connection to DEM; in the last battle of the DEM japan branch, she’s the spirit that caused the most damage.
“How.......so does this mean that <Nightmare> know about [Material A]’s identity?”
“Who knows. But, if that’s really the case then-------she might want to?know?something”
Westcott giggled in interest.
If something happened the [Material A] then this won’t end as a joke but, his expression does not look like he is acting tough or is bluffing.
“So, what happened to the transporter”
“Thanks to the Wizard guarding it, we apparently escaped the problem”
Ellen slightly narrowed her eyes when she heard those words.
“-----Adeptus 2?huh”
“Yes. She did a great job the moment she got enlisted. [Material A] should be reaching here by tonight”
“Is that so. That’s great news”
Even though she said that, Ellen had question marks in her head. “[Material A] was taken by <Nightmare>, so get it back”-----she would understand if he told her that but, Ellen had no roles to play if it was getting send here safely.
But at that moment, she recalled back the words Westcott said just now.
“-----You said that this?was one of it?right?”
“Yes. I called you over for this other case”
Westcott agreed before continuing on.
“Just now when you were out, we detected a strange Reiha reading in the city. I thought it was a new spirit but, it’s seems weird. I heard, It’s as if several Reiha were forcefully condensed into one frame”
“When I was out------Hah”
Ellen reached a certain conclusion opened her eyes widely.
Yes. Ellen met it. She met the young man that had a strange power that can only be performed by using Reiryoku.......!
“And you will be----“
“-------Leave it to me”
Before Westcott could finish his sentence, Ellen said that as if she was biting on the office table.
“Looks like your quite fired up. did something happen?”
“That is not true. I am as usual.-----I will definitely bring the target’s head here”
“No, if possible, I want you to capture it as a sample for us”
In a rare occasion, Westcott said that while his eyes were wide opened in surprise.
After Shidou got away, the girls gathered in a briefing room in a corner of the underground <Ratatoskr>. While surrounding a round table, everyone was making difficult expressions.
“Muu........what should we do”
Tohka said that while placing her elbow on the table, the Yamai sisters then nodded to show their agreement.
“Is that really Shidou in the first place? His words sounded a little weird”
“Consent. He has turned into quite a gigolo”
It’s true that Shidou was acting different from usual. He was oddly filled with confidence and if it was the usual Shidou, he would answer the girl’s demands without placing any weird conditions. And more importantly, if it was the usual Shidou, it’s unthinkable that he would use Natsumi’s power to fully turn into a female.
As if to answer that question, Reine, who was sitting down, raised her voice.
“........Of course, that’s Shin. But, due to the influence of his fever and Reiryoku, his self-restraints got a little off and he turned high”
“Eh, perhaps darling had the urge to turn into a girl?”
Miku twisted her body around while her eyes were glittering. Reine scratched her cheeks.
“.........who knows. I think that’s a method to run away from you all”
“No matter which one it is, it doesn’t change the fact that this is an annoying situation. Kuh.......that stupid brother; getting carried away like that. Does he even know how dangerous his condition is....!?”
Kotori crunched down her chupa chups in irritation, and took out 2 more from the candy holder around her hips before shoving it in her mouth.
“Nothing will start with complains”
Origami said that quietly. She then continued her words with a calm manner.
“Shidou said he would accept our kisses if we make him fall for us before midnight. If that’s the case, we just have to take it on. -----how’s the time?”
“..........that’s true. Judging by the numbers, we have plenty of time to make it if you all are able to kiss him by midnight. The problem is-------is everyone able to make him fall for you all by then though”
Everyone looked at the wall clock after hearing Reine’s words. The time was currently 6pm. Basically; they only had 6 more hours left of time.
The total spirits count to 8 people. In a simple calculation, one person will take 45 minute. What’s more, it includes the time for preparation and the time to get in contact with Shidou. Each person probably has even less time than that.
“........uh”
Tohka made a gulp. She planned on taking light of the situation but, now that the remaining time was shown to her like that, she felt her heartbeat turning faster regardless of her own will.
“Anyway, we have no choice but to make Shidou-san fall for us....right?”
Yoshino, who was sitting beside Tohka, nodded with a slightly nervous expression. As if to respond to her, Natsumi *muu* folded her arms.
“......But, how are we going to do that?”
“That’s........”
“Yaaann, what are you trying to make Yoshino say? Natsumi-chan you pervert~”
“Wha, i-I didn’t have those intentions........”
Natsumi made a panicked reply when [Yoshinon] said that while skillfully covering its face. Yoshino was making a wry smile while looking at that exchange.
“.........I have a suggestion for that”
After saying that, Reine erected her index finger and *Ton**Ton* pointed at her own right ear.-----it was to show us the incam that everyone was wearing.
Maybe they understood Reine’s intentions from looking at her actions; Kaguya and Yuzuru hit their own hands at the same time.
“I see! It’s the plan we used in Arubi island!”
“Agree. That’s the best move”
“Mu, what do you mean?”
After Tohka tilted her head, Reine continued with a brief explanation.
“........basically, I am going to give support from this side by using the Incam. The <Fraxinus> is in repairs but the AI is safe and it’s possible to give instructions from here. Even though it’s to make him fall for you all, Shin already has high affection levels regarding you all. Basically, we just have to make Shin’s heart go doki[12c 1]once within the time limit and that should gain his qualifications”
“Fumu........So that means Reine and the gang are going to help”
“..........Yeah. I will monitor Shin’s heart beating values and mental state too at the same time. Let’s set the [Doki] when his excited level is over 90% as a foundation. When that happens, a clear sound will ring in the Incam”
“Heeeh, so it has such a function too huh? That’s encouraging”
After Miku’s voice bounced out, Reine made a small nod before saying [Also].
“..........I have one warning I need to tell you all. It’s regarding the Reiryoku limit release”
Natsumi tilted her head when she heard Reine’s words.
“..........? With the pass narrowed down, it means that Reiryoku won’t counter flow between us and Shidou right?”
“........that’s normally it. But, only a little Reiryoku is left inside all your body in the first place. Most likely, if you all put your mind into it, it won’t be impossible for you all to put it into practice even though it’s for a little time though”
“Eh? Then-----“
Right when Miku reached that far to her sentence, Reine swung her head.
“.........but, please don’t use your Reiryoku as much as possible. If you all forcefully used your powers in a state where you can’t get your Reiryoku supply, I don’t know what kind of influence it will cause in all your bodies”
““””””””--------!””””””””
The spirits all looked nervous. However, Tohka swung her head sideways.
“No, but if it’s for saving Shidou”
“........If by any chance any of you collapse, It will become impossible to save Shin right?”
“M-muu..........”
After being told that, Tohka fumbled in her mouth. It’s true that, this method won’t fix the problem.
“I understand. I will try my best not to use my Reiryoku”
“That’s true. Well, with everyone’s adorable side, darling will still fall to his knees even if we don’t use our Reiryoku”
Miku laughed thoughtlessly. It was really optimistic but....well, being too worried about it isn’t good either.
“..........the next problem is time. If possible I want the conquering limited to one spot”
After Reine said that, Origami looked down and placed her hand on her chin while immersing in thought-----after a few seconds, she lifted her face.
“I have an idea”
“......let’s hear it”
Reine quietly replied back.
“......Hn?”
When Shidou was walking on the road, the cellphone inside his shirt pocket suddenly started ringing. ------He thought it was taken away by the precision equipment’s when he was being examined but, apparently it was moved to his shirt.
Judging by the rhythm of the vibration and the ring tone, it was not a phone call. It was a message. When he looked at the screen, he found out it was sent from Kotori’s cell phone.
“Fuun.......?”
After seeing that, Shidou lifted the edge of his lips as if he thought this was interesting.
A map of a certain place was attached in the mail; and the address thought to lead to the place was written on the text.
It was a simple text but, it was enough for him to know what it meant.
Basically, they are done preparing to answer Shidou’s request.
“Okay then, what will all of you lay out for me........and”
After Shidou said that, he put back his cellphone into his pocket before *ton* he kicked the ground.
Just with that action, Shidou flew up to the sky as if he was released by the yoke of gravity. The people walking in his surroundings were all opening their eyes in shock when they saw Shidou do that.
It’s not desirable to expose the Spirit’s power to the public but; the Shidou now doesn’t care about that. Each time he freely use the power, his feverish head will be filled with uplift. This is probably how it feels to take drugs and Shidou does not think anything about it.
“Okay-----then, I guess I’ll take this invitation”
After Shidou lifted his face, the map he saw just now appeared in his head. The place was not that far from here. The Shidou now can reach there immediately.
He lightly contracted his feet before kicking the sky. The same time he did that, the surrounding wind started to swirl and that caused Shidou to fly in the sky in high-speed.
It felt like he was a bullet. The sceneries shown in his view all passed by dizzily and the wind was hitting his skin painfully. The normal Shidou will definitely lose conscious half-way in flight and slam his head on the ground.
But, the current Shidou won’t do something that pathetic. After a while of flying, Shidou turned around and performed a beautiful landing.
He then made a simple fix of his hair and clothes which were messed up by the strong wind pressure before he looked around.
“This is the place.....”
After saying that, Shidou lifted his face. A giant building was built inside a lonely forest separated from the city. The vertical height isn’t that much but, the width of it was amazing. If a baseball dome was covered with a rectangular box, it might turn out looking like this.
Even by looking around the building, he could not find any sign showing what kind of facility this was. It gives off an extremely suspicious feeling because it looks like a secret factory that produces some kind of dangerous medicine.
Nonetheless, there were no signs of fear left inside the current Shidou. While feeling a light uplift and expectation, he walked over to the building-----and opened the door.
And at that moment.
“Shidou!”
“Shidou......san!”
“Darling!”
“......!?”
Shidou opened his eyes wide unintentionally.
After a glaring light flashed into his view, a scene that looked like a beach from southern countries expanded out--------and the Spirits wearing colorful swimsuit were there welcoming Shidou.
At the same time. In the <Ratatoskr> facility located under Tenguu city. Inside a certain room in a corner, the crew members of the airship <Fraxinus> were gathered.
“-----Target, has entered the dome!”
After saying that, <Deep Love> Minowa operated her console. After she did that, the giant monitor installed at the wall showed Shidou’s appearance; on the side, numbers signifying his mental state and affection value were shown.
Yes. The room built inside the underground facility was a temporary commander room. The facility was not at the same level compared to the one in <Fraxinus> but, with this; this should be enough to act as a support for the Spirits.
While looking at the image shown on the monitor, the tall man standing beside the commander seat-----<Fraxinus> vice-captain- Kannazuki Kyouhei raised his voice loudly.
“Okay. Let the conquering begin. This might be an irregular but; this is an extremely important mission. All members, be prepared”
"""“Yes!"""”
And to respond to him, a purposely low toned voice could be heard from the speaker.
“........Kannazuki. I think you know this but, no messed up choices okay? The last time I wasn’t there, I heard you did a lot of things you know?”
In the corner of the monitor, the commander-Itsuka Kotori was shown wearing a white separate swimsuit. She was glaring towards the automated camera with a sharp gaze. However, as if Kannazuki did not feel this thorny atmosphere, he leisurely saluted towards his owner like a tamed dog.
“Of course! Leave it to me! This unworthy Kannazuki Kyouhei will definitely bring down Shidou-kun!”
“Those words pulls a nerve.......well forget it. Anyway, we are stopping Shidou here”
The crew replied with a [Yes!] again after hearing Kotori’s words.
And after that, <Dimension breaker> Nakatsugawa raised a loud groan.
“However, it’s just as what we’d expect from the commander. With this [Doki! Swimming tournament filled with Spirits] strategy, not only can you all approach Shidou-kun immediately, his Doki doki point is secured with everyone’s swimsuits”
Just like what Nakatsugawa said, all the Spirits in the pool area were all wearing cute or sexy swimsuits. Every young male will probably go to heaven just by seeing them; it was a dream-like scenery.
“That’s true. Coupled with the mismatch of “a swimsuit during the winter”, the impact is more than enough. With this, Shidou-kun will fall to his knees”
As if to agree with him, <Bad Marriage> Kawagoe agreed consented. However, Kotori shrugged her shoulders while sweat was dripping down her forehead.
“No, the one who planned this strategy isn’t me----“
“----I am displeased”
And to interrupt Kotori, a quiet voice echoed through the speaker. At the same time, a new window opened in the monitor showing Origami in a black swimsuit.
“The strategy I proposed is not something of this level. It is still not too late. Let’s change the policy”
“Oh come on you.......a nudist beach is just impossible okay!?”
The crew members coughed reflexively when they heard Kotori’s sentence.
“..........th-the first plan was something like that huh........"
“How should I say this............as expected from Tobiichi Origami”
<Nail knocker> Shiizaki and <President> Mikimoto said that while sweat flowed down their forehead. But, Origami continued on as if that did not affect her.
“Why”
“Wh-what do you mean by why..........”
“That method will definitely hit Shidou by surprise. Our top priority is to kiss Shidou and widen the pass”
“That.......might be true but..........”
Kotori fumbled in her mouth.
“.......calm down, Origami. Shin is still the one acting as the judge. Skin exposure exceeding the normality might just shock Shidou”
“I see. Basically, it’s better to gradually strip off”
“........no, that's not what I meant”
After Reine scratched her cheeks, she coughed once to regain her composure before looking at the monitor.
Inside the monitor, Shidou already changed into his swimsuit thanks to Natsumi’s ability, and was walking towards everyone. He was surprised at first but, excited values could no longer be seen. In order to kiss him, active conquering is needed as expected.
“.......Anyway, let’s start the conquering. Who’s going first”
And the moment Reine said that, a new voice could be heard from the speaker”
“Kuku, a strong soldier is always first to head to war. Let us handle this”
“Brag. Leave this to Kaguya and Yuzuru”
A new window was opened in the monitor; and it showed the Yamai sisters wearing swimsuits with the same design (However, the patterns were opposite).
“.........fumu, the Yamai sisters huh. Everyone, no objections?”
“Yes, of course. Let’s see what they can do”
“I don’t mind. Leave the escorting to me”
“......I don’t care, do what you want”
The Spirits replied back at a position away from Shidou.
After Kaguya and Yuzuru’s sentence was heard through the Incam, both of them nodded at the same time before walking over to Shidou with a model walk style; where did they learn that from.
“Kaka, oh Shidou, I am amazed you came without fearing us!”
“Consent. Apparently, he’s just too fixated on our charms”
After they did that, Shidou looked over to them to reply to their voices.
“Ouu, it’s Kaguya and Yuzuru huh. Haha, was it during the Tennou festival that I last saw you two in swimsuits? As expected, swimsuits look attractive if the person’s style is good. It looks good on you two. Both of you----are really beautiful”
After saying that, he made a carefree smile.
They probably did not expect such a straight praise because; Kaguya and Yuzuru’s face turned red even though they walked over to him brimming with confidence.
“Kaguya-chan, Yuzuru-chan, both affection levels are increasing!”
“No, it’s not our side to be the ones falling for him right!?”
Shiizaki’s shout echoed in the temporary commander room.
As if to match with her, a new window was shown on the monitor.
3 choices were written there, and it was.
①Pinch Shidou from the left and right, and attack him by pushing your breast on him.
②Perform a vanilla flavor kiss through a soft cream.
③Make Shidou into a human banana, board onto him and have a sightseeing trip of the pool.
“Houu, it’s out! All members, your choices!”
Kannazuki shouted loudly. The crew members operated their consoles and each of them threw their votes to the choices they chosen.
And, the results were immediately showed. ① and ② are having a close combat while there is only 1 vote for ③.
“It has to be ①”
“Yes, it’s a choice picked because it’s two of them. Throwing ② is tough........I don’t think he will be happy with ③ unless he has some special fetish”
After the crew members said that, Kannazuki eye’s popped out in reflex.
“Ehhhh!? Why is ③ a problem! It’s wonderful! He will go definitely Doki! Having a rope around the neck is even better! Shidou-kun will definitely understand. Can you hear me both of you. ③------“
“----Kawagoe-san!”
“Leave it to me!”
The moment Kannazuki was about to order the Yamai sisters, Kawagoe jumped at Kannzuki. Taking that chance; Mikimoto restrains both his hands while Nakatsugawa tied Kannazuki to the chair with a rope.
“Wha-what are you all doing! Is it a Coup De tat!?”
“I am sorry, Vice commander”
“But, we were told by the commander to do this if the vice commander was going to lose control......”
“I see! As expected from the commander, she understands my character! Then please do it stronger! The rope on the left hand is weak, what are you doing!”
While being tied to the chair, Kannazuki was breathing wildly while his cheeks were blushing. The crew members were sweating.
“.........then, we will leave the rest to Analyst Murasame, we will be counting on you!”
After being told that, Reine [......aah] nodded before moving her mouth closer to the mic which is connected to the Incam.
“........Can you two hear me? Pick ①”
Reine’s instructions reached them from the Incam.
“Fuun. I see. Kuku, the pure Shidou will not be able to handle it if us, the Yamai do that”
“Warning. Kaguya, going all out is important for this action. Please be careful not to get timid when you get embarrassed”
“I-I won’t! I am going to be alright! I don’t need to be worried for!”
“Consent. Then------let’s go”
Kaguya and Yuzuru nodded at each other before looking back at Shidou.
They then sat right beside Shidou before wrapping his arms.
“Hnn? What’s wrong, both of you”
Shidou blinked his eyes in surprised while looking at both their faces respectively. Kaguya and Yuzuru looked at each other for an instant, they then [1, 2] moving only their lips without letting out their voice before pushing their own breast on Shidou’s arms at the same time.
“Oooh?”
Shidou’s eyebrows jumped when he felt that. Kaguya and Yuzuru then raised the edges of thelips while their cheeks were blushing.
“Ku-kuku......how about it Shidou. You’re getting excited from our charms right?”
“Agreed. You don’t have to force yourself. Go on, go on”
While saying that, they approached closer to Shidou.
But, after Shidou sighed, he lightly swung his head.
“Oi oi both of you. I am really happy about this but, unmarried girls shouldn’t be doing this without any good reasons”
“Wha.....!?”
“Shock. A composed Shidou isn’t like him”
Kaguya and Yuzuru started sweating when they heard Shidou’s response.
The face of the usual Shidou will instantly turn into a tomato when both of their breasts were pushed onto him and would definitely shout in panic. However, the current Shidou was not showing any signs of that.
When he told them those words calmly, Kaguya and Yuzuru turned embarrassed instead. Both of them groaned before looking away uncomfortably.
Shidou then*pon**pon* patted their head.
“But, thanks. In order to save me, both Kaguya and Yuzuru is trying to make my heart go doki right? I am really happy for those feelings”
“Ugu.......”
“Red face. This is kind of cheating”
Kaguya and Yuzuru felt like they got cornered and *Guu* rang their throats.
“..........you don’t have to feel so negative. Kaguya, Yuzuru”
And, Reine’s voice could be heard in their ears.
“........Shin might look calm but, the moment when both of you pushed your breasts onto him, it’s clear that his excitement values rose, one more push”
After hearing that, Kaguya and Yuzuru looked at each other.
“Ku......kuku, what do you know, you are responding after all”
“Consent. He’s more of a closet pervert than before”
“..........try ② next. Perform a vanilla flavor kiss through a soft cream. There’s an ice cream shop at the edge of the pool right?”
When they looked over to the direction Reine told them about, it’s true that they could find a tropical designed stall there. A female, probably a member of <Ratatoskr>, was standing there smiling.
After Kaguya and Yuzuru nodded at each other, they stood up.
“Kuku, oh Shidou, wait over there! I will bestow upon you a kiss from the ice goddess!”
“Translate. We are going to by soft cream so please wait for a while”
After saying that, both of them ran off to the sandy beach, they then ordered two soft creams from the stall before heading back to Shidou.
“Hn?”
Shidou looked at the number of soft creams in their hands and tilted his head.
“What, only for two? That’s pretty harsh of you”
Shidou shrugged his shoulders while making a wry smile. But, Kaguya and Yuzuru swung their heads.
“Fuu, don’t be hasty Shidou”
“Transfer. 1 is for Shidou. Here you go”
After Yuzuru handed over the soft cream, Shidou opened his eyes widely in wonder.
“Hnn, thanks. But with this, Yuzuru won’t have anything right? Perhaps, you did not have enough money?”
“Deny. That is not true. But, 1 is enough for Yuzuru and Kaguya.........Kaguya”
“......Hn”
After Yuzuru urged her, Kaguya showed a glimpse of hesitation because of the slight embarrassment before handing her the soft cream in her hand. Yuzuru then gently placed her hands over her hand.
Kaguya and Yuzuru then nodded at each other before bringing out their tongue from their opened lips and started licking the soft cream in front of Shidou. -----both of them were doing that at the same time.
“Hnn........Afuu”
“Swe..eet. This is......”
Both of them felt their breaths gently tickling their cheeks. Apart from the white sweet cream, both of them could feel their tongues wriggling around. Kaguya and Yuzuru felt this lewd scene being scorched into their minds. It was a pleasant feeling consisting of immorality, sexiness, and seductiveness. They understood with this, this was more stimulating than expected. With this, even Shidou will........
“........Both of you. Sorry to tell you this while you two are working hard but, shouldn’t it be done to Shin instead of you Kaguya and Yuzuru doing it between yourselves?”
But. Both of them stopped when Reine’s words reached their eyes.
“..........ah”
“Forget. Now that you mentioned it”
It’s true that she’s correct. They judged it that way based on the wordings but, this just looks like both of them are flirting with each other in front of Shidou. Due to the double punch of the embarrassment of their actions and the embarrassment of being mistaken, they face turned beet red.
But at that moment, both of them noticed Shidou’s cheeks were also blushed a little.
“.........? Err?”
“Doubt. Weren’t we mistaken?”
“Please wait Analyst Murasame! Shidou-ku’s excitement values are increasing!”
<President> Mikimoto’s voice echoed in the Incam.
“Apparently, the Yamai sisters flirting have caused a visual excitement!”
“It is not impossible......! That’s a little like that. This is on the level where I can enjoy one night alone with this video”
After hearing <Dimension Breaker> Nakatsugawa’s words, nods could be heard from several people. Next off-->>
