Epilogue

The dolls continue dancing.

End signal was not heard, the dream still continues after the curtain goes down.

It is true, they can not see the threads.

They are just dolls, no notices anything.

It ‘s been a few weeks since the destruction of 「F」. Then some day.

Hajime-kun hurt his right eye.

“This time ruin it ……”

The man sitting on the bed was severely depressed. In the s.p.a.ce between the fingers of your hand, you could see the white patch doctor in the hospital gave him covering his eye.

“That’s why I told you. Do not sleep with wearing contact lenses. ”

I could not be more disgusted with this man who ignored my warning many times.

The reason that his right eye was bruised because I use soft contact lenses for too many days without removing it. Naturally, bacteria invaded and a stye formed.

If you wear contact lenses frequently, then you should carefully clean them often, however, it seems that he has not been doing recently.

“Anyway, you’re forbidden to wear contact lenses until they heal.”

“…. Hey, wait a minute. Do you want to die? ”

It is not possible to die just for not wearing the evil eye.

“Is prohibited! Prohibited!”

I confiscated his contact lens and threw to Umeko-chan, who was in the corner of the room.

“Umeko-chan. Mantelo you for a while. You should not give it to Hajime-kun. ”

“──Entendido.”

mechanically nodding his head, he puts the case in the pocket of his black robes.

Since the incident, Umeko-chan has been staying in my house and in the house of Aki-chan. She has been exchanging places without staying in a fixed home.

The rich girl, Aki-chan, has given her several old dresses. I get the feeling that treats her like a doll to change her clothes. As a result, her hairstyle was changed several times and finished in the bob cut that takes now.

Previously he called System. Now it’s called “White Rulebook”.

If I give the contact lens Umeko-chan, who is the person with the strongest power, even Hajime-kun could easily interfere.

Do not.

This child is the strongest and most invincible ── is past.

“Hey, Hajime-kun.”

Speak to you.

“About Hinoemata-kun … I wonder if it was a good idea to accept it as a partner.”

“Ah? What do you mean?”

“It’s nothing important…. But something bothers me. Hinoemata-kun, how to say, is something different … ”

After 「F」 was destroyed and Umeko-chan our companion returned ── Due to certain events, another person with powers joined Fallen Black.

That boy is called Hinoemata. It is mid-teens. Sometimes laughing, sometimes speaking, is a very friendly guy.

The name was given by our leader.

“Lost Regalia” ── The power of the fall of the throne.

It has the power to kill the king.

You can deny any kind of king.

Moreover, it is probably the only one in the world with the power to compete against Umeko-chan.

To put it in a way, it is the natural enemy of System ── “White Rulebook”.

“Ka, Ka. Certainly, the power of this subject is very different. And although not very strong, only he can impale the strongest existence. Similar to Daifugo, where only the weakest, which is the ‘3 swords’ , you can kill the strongest, which is the ‘Joker’ . ”

The reason why Umeko-chan was created, was to end the Faerie War.

Due to disagreements in Fallen Black ── mean, thanks to our efforts, it was decided that the war would continue … But, possibly, but we had not done anything, the war would not equally over.

Since ── Hinoemata-kun had been able to kill System.

If there was a G.o.d of war in this world, he would not have allowed a person with an artificial war to end such an unjust manner.

The presence of someone who breaks the balance is not allowed. That’s why an even more irregular existence was created to eliminate other irregularities.

However, what I mean is not a story of romance or fantasy.

“His special ability is certainly irregular … But what I mean is that Hinoemata-kun is something scary ……”

Hinoemata-kun is a boy with a cute face. With a cheerful and gregarious personality, he faced us and ask us to leave our companion.

However, I’m not good dealing with it.

Although I can not explain it, I feel a chill on my back when I talk to that guy.

All my words come brittle tone, because it gives me a feeling of nervousness stand before him.

“… The person who did awaken the power of Kudou arbitrarily Mirei-san was probably Hinoemata-kun, right? He did so without consulting us and also made contact with ‘Virgin Child’ … ”

The result was a battle of super powers ── between literature club and student council president.

“Virgin Child” , who had to be isolated, were involved. When Hajime-kun heard this, he went to watch the fight.

“Ka, Ka. I feel good to have someone like that. ”

Unaware of my worries, Hajime-kun was laughing as always. As expected the man who missed my betrayal as if nothing. It is very tolerant of selfish actions of their peers.

Or is it vice versa?

This man possibly want ── peers acting on their behalf.

It seems someone able to kill you while you sleep, there is a shred of loyalty or sincerity, it is certainly a dangerous existence.

“… But more importantly, if I do something with this eye, it may die ……”

His expression changed radically and turned somewhat dark. Apparently now he is very concerned about his sty, to worry about what they are doing other members.

“No matter what … I can not stay in this bed resting quietly.”

“Ahh. Had I known, I would have recruited someone with healing powers. ”

While complained, Hajime-kun lay back on the bed.

However ── immediately he raised his body.

“It is true. I just thought of something good. ”

“Q-What do you mean?”

” ‘Virgin Child’ . I can use those guys. Among them, there is one that has healing powers. “Root of Origin” ── The power of the regression. Although very different from the power of healing … You can heal any wound in an instant. ”

“Hey?”

I do not know the details of the powers of those guys.

“But are you sure? Did not you want to keep those kids away from the Faerie War? Once your eye is healed, it will be a problem to explain the story …… ”

“Therefore, it will be your turn to act,” Eternal Wink “. Use your hypnosis somehow to manipulate your memory. ”

I see. Even if the opponent is a person with power, my power can work as long as the person is not on alert.

“The strategy is. First, we will capture the target properly, then it will cure my right eye, then, will alter his memory with the evil eye and finally back to its original place. How about? Is not it a perfect plan? ”

“No you do not, sound too easy.”

It is nothing precise. How is it possible that such a strategy will occur imprecisely.

“Will it work somehow. If Akutagawa is present, kidnapping be easy. ”

“That may be, but ……”

Mmm. Well, we can try.

Although I think it will not be good, it does not seem to be a risk in the event of failure. I think we would be very lucky if it works.

“For once, I’d like you to hear what others have to say … Oh by the way, that girl, the Power Root of something, how is she? How it looks? ”

“Ah …. It’s true, I’ve never met him personally. I have only seen from afar. If I remember correctly……”

After Hajime-kun gestured to explore his memory, said the following.

“It is the woman with long hair.”

For now, I started to move according to the instructions Hajime-kun.

Although not want to partic.i.p.ate in something as problematic, the other members were somehow persuaded and the plan of kidnapping was carried out quickly.

It did not take long.

Since the plan was the right cure eye Hajime-kun as fast as possible.

But nevertheless.

Judging by the result, as it were, everything was ── “very fast” and “immediate” , but an unexpected error had occurred.

“It’s the wrong person !?”

On the road next to the river at sunset.

While all members except Hinoemata-kun were walking, I raised my voice unintentionally. I looked at the “girl with long hair” that was on the back of Umeko-chan.

For some reason, the girl was wearing a kitchen ap.r.o.n. She was sleeping soundly ── due to the effect of the evil eye that had been given to Hajime-kun.

Seeing a school girl preschool as Umeko-chan load on his back to a school girl school so easily. If you look from the side, it may seem strange considerably, however, as she has great physical strength, you could say that is right for the job.

“E-Wait a minute, what do you mean !? This girl is not the girl you were talking, Hajime-kun? ”

“It’s not her. Silly …… This is Kushikawa Hatoko ── power is “Over Element”. I said that was “Root of Origin ‘.”

Hajime-kun spoke in a surprised tone.

No, who I’m surprised me. Since Hajime-kun made with his hand signal that meant “deep sleep it off “ , put it to sleep with all my strength … I can not believe I have the wrong person.

This girl does not seem to be the girl from “Root of Origin”.

Ehh …. It has to be a lie, right? Since, this girl has a great healing skill, right? You can heal just by being close and has a pretty sweet aura, right?

“What did you do, Hitomi?”

“It’s not my fault. I said I was the girl with long hair, I told them that all properly … Even today, Fan-chan …… ”

“II not my fault … You said it was the girl with long hair, so I definitely thought this person was. By their appearance, seemed to be the curative …… addition, we also see him Akutagawa-kun …… ”

“…… I just followed my orders, wait until the target was conveniently alone and take it to the river bank …… This is no longer my responsibility. ”

“If Natsu had seen her first, none of this would have happened.”

“What!? Wait a minute, Tokki! What do you mean by that!? I could not help it, he could not miss school today! So I asked Fan-Fan to replace me. ”

We began to discuss who was to blame. Since we did everything very hastily here and there, guilt seems to be here and there too.

As I looked about as rowdy members, the leader said the following.

“Heavens. All are good for nothing. ”

“It’s your fault in the first place!”

All members shouted that.

Arguably Hajime-kun was the original responsible for everything.

Did not give us proper instructions and they do not think it was a good idea to use the group only to heal his wound …… First, you must not play with contact lenses.

“This is idiocy. Hitomi-san. Please let me retire. Kiryuu wound-san is not something to worry about. ”

“… Me too.”

“And-I’m going to return. Haa … After all, Hinoemata-san was right to go home quickly. ”

“I’m leaving too. Ah, take this, Kiryucchi. Are eye drops that you asked me. This is the receipt. I wish me then you pay a commission included, thanks. ”

Members separated quickly.

Hajime-kun, Umeko-chan and I were alone in the gravel path illuminated by the setting sun. And also, Kushikawa Hatoko, who was sleeping soundly.

“Then I’m going too.”

“Wait wait wait!”

I grabbed his shoulder to Hajime-kun, who was already going.

“How can you leave, if you are the main culprit !? What the are we gonna do with this girl !? ”

“Ah, why do not we sleep here? Anyway, it will wake up sooner or later. ”

No, no way.

It is impossible to stop a school girl marriageable age completely alone out here.

How to say, I have no relationship with Kushikawa Hatoko-chan, but since we have involved a misunderstanding, I have to take responsibility as an adult.

…… No, well, kidnapping a minor and disqualifies you as a responsible adult.

“──Hitomi What should I do?”

Umeko-chan, who was carrying the girl on her back, asked instructions. It seems to have no problems carrying it, but I feel bad make burdening the girl on his shoulders for long.

“Uh, well … P-For now, let’s get her to my house. When you awaken, Hajime-kun will explain everything. ”

“Ah? Because I?”

“Because you’re responsible for everything! Before we arrived, you were not talking to her just to kill time? So you’d better somehow trick! ”

“Tch. There is no remedy. ”

Hajime-kun reluctantly agreed. Suddenly, he looked skyward. The sun was about to hide and the sky had begun to darken.

“It seems it’s time, this could be a shock if done later. Ah … that reminds me, I told Sagami-kun will take your phone when you had a chance … What should I do? I have to return it …… ”

The plan was a complete failure. After manipulating the evil eye and curing eye make Hajime-kun, we would release it quickly …… But we caught the wrong person and we have put to sleep temporarily.

It was a perfect failure.

What should I do?

Since been put into a deep sleep, this girl will not wake up after a few hours.

“Ah. I wish one of those guys wake up a new power and quickly carried Kushikawa Hatoko back without having to see us. ”

“There is no way that such a miracle can happen.”

The next day.

“Ka, Ka. Everything went according to my plan. ”

Couching his head on the bed, Hajime-kun laughed proudly.

…… Occurred.

…… A miracle happened.

Yesterday took Kushikawa ── Hatoko-chan to my house and while waiting to wake suddenly Hatoko-chan was wrapped in a light and disappeared.

I was quite surprised.

Hajime-kun and I were blown away.

It could not be real, he predicted a phenomenon caused by a power. Today, Aki-chan went to investigate and came to the conclusion that ── the situation was caused by the power of one of the members of club literature.

A new power was awakened.

To help his partner.

I feel some envy toward them.

They are a group united by a very strong bond. Compared to our group, there is a big difference between us.

“It is true, Hitomi. That b.a.s.t.a.r.d Sagami has been quiet this time. It seems that this guy thought I wanted to Kushikawa Hatoko for a great cause. It seems to have misunderstood. ”

That reminds me, I did not tell Sagami-kun kidnapping plan.

Actually we ended up doing something useless, but if I see it from the point of view of Sagami-kun, it seemed that tramábamos something extraordinary.

It’s pretty funny.

I feel sorry for Sagami-kun. But to be frank, he does not like me and it’s not entirely my sympathy.

“Yes I understand. However, this time … in the end, but everything was resolved in a good way, not everything went according to your plans, right? After all, your right eye is still not cured. ”

While I was preparing dinner in the kitchen, I said Hajime-kun without stopping my hands.

The problem that we cause was completely solved thanks to a favorable coincidence.

Although we ended up bothering others just on a whim, everything ended smoothly. This is also something typical that “has” Hajime-kun.

However, the original problem ── wound in his right eye, had not yet been resolved.

“It’s true … I wonder what I should do with this.”

“It will heal you. Look, dinner is ready. ”

I took dinner for two at the table. Today, Umeko-chan was staying at the house of Aki-chan, so we are only two of us tonight.

“Today’s menu, hamburger j.a.panese-style tofu with grated boiled spinach also green clam chowder.”

“Oh, it looks delicious.”

We sat at the table and join hands with “Thanks for the food” .

“How’s the taste?”

“Um. Delicious, as always. ”

“I see. How good.”

“By the way, Hitomi. A few moments ago, do not you think you were very excited about preparing the food? ”

“Hey? ¿E-That you think? Hm, umn … well, I wanted to try to change a bit the way I fight …… ”

I muttered those words, as he laughed vaguely.

“To think that would chuuni power rivaled by the enthusiastic power of a girl.”

“…… What?”

“Haha, nothing special.”

We finished talking and took the chopsticks.

While I was eating for a while, Hajime-kun started thinking about his right eye again.

“… I wonder what I’ll do. In fact, I’m thinking of trying to kidnap “Root of Origin” again … That said, already I happened otherwise … ”

“Do not you think you’re pounding away at this?”

I understand you want to heal his wound as soon as possible, I understand you want to play again with the evil eye as soon as possible … I understand very well. But no matter how you look, it is still very impatient.

“According to the doctor’s words, did not you heal in about a week? In that case, you should let it heal quietly. ”

Although you can not see, it’s just a wound that can heal with rest. You need not be so impatient.

Fight with one eye ── Something like that would be nothing new for this man. This man has been using a patch long before he met me. Even with one eye, it may act perfectly.

“That’s true … but, ah, how to say ……”

Hajime-kun began to doubt. He looked to the side and began scratching his head with his left hand. His att.i.tude was not clear, it was very unusual to see.

There was silence for a few seconds, then muttered something in a low voice.

“…… The promise, I’ve broken.”

“Promise?”

“At the time of high school. Remember? You and me on the roof …… ”

Having said that, we remain perplexed.

── . … I no longer’ll use that patch anymore.

In my head, a scene appeared clearly.

Kiryuu serious apology Hajime.

He said he would accept my resort.

“I remember……”

It was six years ago. I thought he had forgotten. I mean, I also almost forgot. However, he did not expect even keep his promise so far.

His words of that time were enough to save me.

But.

It can not be, Hajime-kun, have you been fulfilling your promise this time?

“… P-But you know, because that patch is not a patch to play, then it means that you have not broken your promise. No account does not count. ”

“I see … however, I thought you would you feel bad ……”

Hajime-kun spoke without looking at me. Always I see me with a fixed stare was terrifying, but today, not scared at all.

“…. Ah. But do not misunderstand me. No I did for you simply miss I can not something I’ve promised, that would go against the principles of Kiryuu Heldkaiser Luci First── ”

His words sounded more like an excuse and no longer went in my ears.

My head was full and my chest too.

My head would seem to sizzle and my chest seemed about to burst.

Ah … heaven.

This man.

Seriously, this hombre──

“Hajime-kun.”

I lowered my chopsticks, then I leaned over and said.

“Let us go to a photo booth.”

Games station was near the station is open until 6pm. This was full of students.

We walk among teenagers using school uniform, headed to the floor where the photo booths are.

“Oh. This unexpectedly full. ”

“It is true. Hey, do you think that empty cabin that is over there right? ”

“Whatever is good. But why do you suddenly want to come to a photo booth? ”

“It’s good to come from time to time.”

“Let me tell you, I will not take my money. Since you who want to come, you must pay for everything. ”

…… The cabin was quite small.

I pulled the hand Hajime-kun, who was complaining, and entered the empty cabin.

It was very lit and the s.p.a.ce was very small. Being both at a distance so close made me put a bit nervous.

“Umm … Ah, it’s true. The money.”

I opened my wallet and then I realized a big mistake.

“Yuck, I do not have a coin 100 yen ……”

In the photo booth.

Just me realize I did not have a 100 yen coin.

“I am sorry. I’ll get some change. ”

“Taking.”

His lips moving rapidly, Hajime-kun gave me 400 yen. It seems that it took from his wallet without noticing.

“Hey. ¿E-Really? ”

“Return it then.”

I received 400 yen with an “S-Yes”.

I placed the dinero── But first, take a moment to prepare me . I took out my wallet “certain thing” that had brought secretly.

“Surprise!”

When I held it in my hand, Hajime-kun was surprised.

“Your…. Do you still conservabas you? ”

“If.”

I looked down and saw him intensely.

It was an eye patch made of black leather.

Had silver designs, was a patch that was obviously not for medical use.

In the days of high school. It was a memory that gave me ── Hajime-kun.

I put the patch on my right eye, tying the belt behind my head.

I wonder if it was the work of fate that black leather patch was made for the right eye.

I did not know the reason ── And maybe there is no explicit reason, because for Hajime-kun, mysterious eyes are always rights.He always wore contact lenses of different color and even the occasional changes, the right eye is always crimson red. He was trying to show off for me I can not see with his right eye.

I started laughing as he turned toward Hajime-kun.

“How are you? Does the patch is great? ”

Since I put the patch on way to game, Hajime-kun had been astonished, but immediately regained his smile.

“If. It is the best.”

This powerful smile.

In my case, my view does not change even if I put the patch.

But, as always, just he wanted to see her smile.

“How good. So let’s take one of both using our patch. ”

“Ka, Ka. Although we are only two, what characters should we do? ”

“That’s OK.”

I put the money and started to select the frame and background of the photo. While discussing with Hajime-kun was very close, I finally chose a dark plot that was something trendy.

The count began, so we took a pose in a hurry. While the voice of the machine over, the camera shutter opened.

So.

I ask today I, you are able to blink adorably?
