Chapter 38.1

Copied from “———Ha?”

“People like Akeno-san are scary but Suou is a good guy. But Utsurogi and the others are also good guys…. I don’t know what to do at that time.”

“With the first stage of maintenance of the chimera completed, she is currently tampering with her own head.”

Ryuzaki clapped his hands and said.

The project itself was started three years ago. The blood clan sent some of its kins to the high-school that Akai had entered as staff members, and they put the students that were comparatively easy to draw a «hit» in the same cla.s.s as her.

Nonetheless, that wouldn’t be a reason for him not to do his best. Before a directive came down from the King, there was no choice but to do everything possible by themselves.

It’s fine then, said Suou, he lay down on the sofa and looked up at the ceiling.

“No, not at all. Because I am faithful a p.a.w.n, I just fulfilled my mission. I couldn’t simply talk with Akai-sama…”

“You, did you know? I think it was at the Queen’s school trip. Did you talk about something?”

“Yo, Kogane. What’s wrong?”

“It’s your imagination. I mean, you don’t remember him very well.”

“You read such things? Creepy otaku.”

“I wonder if she was really loyal. Even if she has rebellious thoughts in her heart, it is difficult to oppose the King because of his power.”

Since the clue to return become more solid, let’s reconcile for now, that certain atmosphere was in the process of being completed. But as Hakuba alone didn’t seem to be convinced, he was intently glaring at Akai.

“You shut up Ryuzaki!”

“What Asuka talked about, «the clue to return to our world», and the «ident.i.ty of the enemy». That’s enough for now.”

Hakuba barked and turned his eyes toward Akai.

“Well, that’s right.”

“Fun. There is certainly a clue. It should be fine then.”

“No, Akai-sama betrayed us after all, and…”

No, it wasn’t Hakuba alone. Some of the students should be aware of the fundamental problem hidden in the content that Akai had told.

“Ahh, I have put you through trouble.”

Thereupon, Suou noticed the line of sight of the p.a.w.n who remained on the spot without withdrawing.

There was no figure of Utsurogi Kyousuke in this funeral. That guy should have started noticing it too. But it wasn’t the time to worry about it at the moment.

“Because the one Utsurogi and Was.h.i.+o came in contact with, that is to say, Akeno is the developer of the Transference Denaturation Gate. It depends on whether or not can you get a clue regarding that, and how much that sage guy can understand it.”

Akai indifferently continued. The vampires who were chased out of their dwelling in the former words, formulated a plan to migrate to a different world. In the process, they started a project to transform humans to monster in order to replenish the war potential. Through some test cases, it was said that the «Queen&raqu

o;, Akai’s cla.s.smates were chosen for the first ma.s.s transference.

About Ryuzaki and Goubayas.h.i.+, they should be able to instantly reach Phase 3 if she was to give them blood now. However, she didn’t intend to give her blood to her cla.s.smates anymore. To reach Phase 3 by forcibly turning them into her kins was too risky.

“I knew, Asuka. You talked a lot.”

Here, she paused a beat.

So he was here at this moment. There was also other reason beside that though.

To him who nodded ∗yup yup∗ with his arms folded, Akai unintentionally asked back.

“Everyone, I think you all have something you want to say to Asuka, however.”

“……”

If the situation worsened that much, she should have let them go a little earlier. Because every-time the re-maintenance of the cranial nerves system was repeated, it would become frayed somewhere so she didn’t want to do it too much. Still, once she did it, she should have never killed the Gryphon.

It seemed that Inugami had already noticed, but there were always signs of p.a.w.ns who seems to be watchdogs in the surroundings of this heavy cruiser branch school. The relay station of those guy was probably close. Akai’s betrayal should have also been sensed. She should talk to everyone before that.

With the present situation, what Suou and Akeno should do was to reconcile with the students who had transform into monsters by pa.s.sing through the Transference Denaturation Gate.

“Asuka, about «that», let’s open a cla.s.s meeting and discuss about it next time.”

But,

This p.a.w.n was a newcomer. Nonetheless, it had already been one and a half month since he joined.

The students joined up with the reincarnated ogre and repelled the Valley Hydra. This situation was disappointing.

This guy is an idiot, Akai thought. This guy is an idiot, isn’t he? Goubayas.h.i.+’s face was saying so.

The 2nd year cla.s.s 4’s land wars.h.i.+p was pa.s.sing straight through the valley, aiming at the ruin of this kingdom. Their arrival was only a matter of time, he thought.

I don’t know what to do at that time. That was certainly true.

“…What?”

“That Queen who was loyal to the King, betrayed…”

Inside the commotion of the cla.s.s that still didn’t settle, Akai continued.

Was.h.i.+o’s funeral ended and an atmosphere of taking a break was flowing inside the cla.s.s, so she also had hesitation to say such a thing.

“Next, I think there are also those who are vaguely aware of it but the ones who orchestrated that was the lot called Blood of Red Moon.”

However, according to what could be understood from the story so far, Akai at this time continued to go against the will of the blood clan.

Such a thing is only deception. Thinking about this cla.s.s, she should beg for forgiveness even if she had to abandon her pride as the Queen.

Kogane frankly grimaced and scratched his head.

At the rocky wasteland that was to be the transference destination, they established a dungeon called the Promised Cemetery. The purpose of this was to put a crack in the unity of the cla.s.s by driving them in a critical situation, and then Akai herself would put them in order again, winning over the cla.s.s in its entirety to the blood clan.

By declaring 『I knew it all along』 under these circ.u.mstances, Ryuzaki was implicitly saying that he forgave her.

“Ahh…. It was pretty bad…”

Kogane was lightly abused, but he didn’t appear to feel hurt in particular, saying 『no, well』, and scratched his head.

“I say, Asuka.”

“Oi, wait. I can’t accept this.”

Akai politely lower her head. Her velvet hair sway like a dropped curtain.

“Well, it’s fine. You can withdraw.”

As long as Akai kept this policy, the one who could awaken to Phase 3 in the cla.s.s, was Utsurogi Kyousuke alone.

The middle aged p.a.w.n bowed with a courteous att.i.tude and left the hall. As if to change place with him, Kogane entered. The moment Kogane pa.s.sed by the p.a.w.n, he lightly bowed and stood still as he was, seeing off that back for a short while.

“I will talk about the reason why everyone took those forms from now.”

“Kogane, supposing I say that everyone in the cla.s.s won’t take this side, what will you do?”

It shouldn’t take more than a few days before the land wars.h.i.+p arrived at this ruined kingdom.

Akai had a grim look at the mention of Utsurogi Kyousuke’s name.

The p.a.w.n’s gesture of caressing his awfully flabby chin wasn’t something very pleasant to look at.

One of the p.a.w.n came and reported that.

Nevertheless, she needed some courage to say these decisive words.

“…I’m sorry.”

The fact that this clear betrayal being transmitted to the King as well, was probably just a matter of time.

That good guy may be gone the next time you meet though.

“Hey, when are we going to see everyone in the cla.s.s?”

Harui nodded as if convinced somewhere.

Since it couldn’t do its part as a watchdog as expected, there was no longer any reason to leave it uncontrolled. It had been decided that this old would be abandoned sooner or later. In that case, they should quickly caught it and have that girl Akeno tamper with it. With the present situation where he couldn’t take in the reincarnated monsters as war potential, there was no choices but to compensate by other means. Fortunately, it ended without taking much efforts in order to capture the hydra that was beaten up to the point of having only one head left.

Akai raised her face.

“Ehh, that is worrisome…”

“Come to think of it, what’s Akeno doing?”

However much Akai intended to oppose the blood clan, it was an undeniable fact that she was the cause which put the cla.s.s in this situation. And as a result of that, Was.h.i.+o had been killed. Unmistakably, anger would be directed toward Akai.

That guy was grinning disgustingly while looking at Suou.

The p.a.w.ns’ common equipment, the black armor was something carefully made by Akeno. It compensated for the weak defensive power, allowed the usage of black energy and gave physical ability. Since it was a made-to-order item to match with the physique of each p.a.w.n, it fitted them perfectly.

Kogane nodded without any doubts. Yes, now is not a good time. However, it would be faster for this side and that side to come into contact than for it to become a good time.

It’s a lie. Akai intuitively understood. She could understand from looking at Goubayas.h.i.+’s att.i.tude behind him.

～ Part 1 ～

“I want to ask one thing, from Akai’s viewpoint, is there a way to change back to humans and return home?”

“I am a comrade of those vampires.”

The one who declared so inside the deadly silent cla.s.s, was Ryuzaki.

A girl’s voice raised among the seats. It was one of her follower, Harui the Harpy.

Suou similarly didn’t adore the King from the bottom of his heart. Just that as part of the household, the power of the King was absolute to him. He was bound by constraints of blood that could never be resisted.

She would be troubled unless she got him back to his feet at any cost.

Akai steadied her breathing. She could see Sak.u.ma clenching her fists at her seat as if to say 『do your best!』.

“The blood clan is originally vampires from our world. And then———,”

Episode 38 — Surarin, Do Your Best

Again, the cla.s.s fell silent.

“Wait Hakuba, even Asuka wouldn’t think that they would appear at that place…”

She understood that Ryuzaki crossed his arms and nodded. Apart from him, some students also showed att.i.tude as if they had been expecting those words.

Whether this middle aged p.a.w.n was living a very unhealthy life on earth, his black armor’s size was considerably misshapen.

“I cannot say it’s certain but,”

But it was also true that there was no reason to delay the timing anymore than this.

Knight Suou, while roughly scratching his head, sat down on the sofa. Recently here, Akeno had been impulsive like that so he was acting as a pseudo-BRAIN, but there was a limit to putting on airs like a staff officer. He was after all a yankee with low academic score.

Suou swallowed the words coming up inside his mouth. In the process of accomplis.h.i.+ng his mission as a kin, he would only be doing things that ran counter to Kogane’s will. That was decided from the beginning but it still felt disgusting.

Suou started doing something like sit-ups on the sofa.

She intended to keep as much distance from the bunch in the cla.s.s as possible. She tried not to become attached to them as much as possible.

Should I tell the story of Phase 2, Phase 3 to Ryuzaki? No, I also need to tell this to the whole cla.s.s before long.

In the middle of starting to move to the dining room, Ryuzaki softly whispered to Akai.

“But that toad-like smile…. I remember talking with Utsurogi saying that he looks like a corrupt n.o.ble appeared in ero manga. The guys that seem to buy elves and make them slaves.”

“Is that so? I understand.”

Originally, the Queen was supposed to gather the cla.s.s at the Promised Cemetery and join up with this side over here, but then her betrayal was almost a settled matter. Although Kogane Yos.h.i.+ki had already been won over as an ally but aside from that, everything was completely unknown.

The fact that cookwares and household goods that became the bare minimum living necessity were prepared in the upper part of the dungeon, that the golems holding materials and the magic reactor which can be used for various thing were arranged in the lower part, everything was to antic.i.p.ate such a survival.

“Even I would question whether to say such a thing at the funeral. But I can’t accept this! Oi, Akai, do you have anything to say for yourself!”

“…Please wait a bit more. Now is not a good time.”

To the words of Kogane, Suou stopped the sit-ups.

Justifications, she could make as much as she wanted. But she didn’t think she could make them understand it. It’s fine even if they wouldn’t forgive her.

Standing in front of the cla.s.s, but still taking care not to turn her back toward Was.h.i.+o’s buddhist altar, Akai Asuka made her statement. A commotion spread among the students lining up on the deck. Ryuzaki and Goubayas.h.i.+ also opened their eyes wide in surprise.

It could be summed up as swinging among the grudging feelings against Akai, the unpleasant atmosphere, and the feeling of forgiving, wavering which direction it will steer to. Except for some students, most cla.s.smates stood up as urged by Ryuzaki.

Instantly, the cla.s.s fell deadly silent. Gazes like ice were direct at Akai.

“First of all, this transference to a different world and reincarnating as monsters isn’t an accident. What I mean is that it was orchestrated.”

“Ahh, yeah…”

Ryuzaki too, would have been guessing to a certain extent. But as expected, things such as 『I knew』 shouldn’t be possible. At once, Akai retorted with her usual cold att.i.tude, 『what are you saying?』,… she almost did but she held her tongue.

“Suou-sama, we have captured the Valley Hydra as your command.”

Akai closed her eyes. I guess I will be told that, she had that premonition.

“What, was it as expected.”

“There are also other worrisome matters. Like about Utsurogi.”

This was Ryuzaki’s consideration.

“Our stomach will become empty soon, so let’s go have our meals for now. Since we know that Asuka isn’t our enemy, and in any case, the transference to this world has already happened. So I want to think in the direction of making the best use of the information obtained from Asuka in the future.”

A relieved mood flowed within the cla.s.s. Everyone would hate to be on edge any further than this.

About the reconciliation, the number one bottleneck was the fact that Akeno killed the Gryphon. This, he had yet to talk to Kogane.

Suou determinedly cleared his thoughts and restarted doing sit-ups.

“No, that person resembles the bus driver-san at the school trip…”

A stinging voice was heard from the direction of the students. It was Hakuba.

“Yes.”

“Then what. Was.h.i.+o died because of Akai’s fault? If Akai has said something sooner, wouldn’t it end without Was.h.i.+o’s dying?”
