Hundred - Volume 16 - Chapter Ep

Epilogue

The illumination of the stadium, the venue of the finals, showed a change. 

Loud cheers had already rose up from the stadium at full capacity. 

Around 30,000 cheers. 

It was quite a gigantic thing. 

The voice that was heard to match those cheers was of Carol Caroline. 

She was the rival Diva who competed with Sakura as Idols, however she wasn’t a Slayer. Even after more than a decade later, she was still singing songs and being at the top, and her activities as an actress were developing positively. 

If advertisements throughout the cities and the ones circulating on internet about her were included, then there was almost no country or week where people wouldn’t see her. * 

*TN: This sentence was equally weird in Japanese. 

That was why she had decided to act as the announcer of the entrance in this place. And then, after the greeting that included Carol’s self-introduction. 

The time for the entrance of the two young Slayers finally came. 

And so, the time has finally come for the entrance of the two people who advanced to the finals of the tournament of the World Martial Arts Tournament?Boys and Girls Category?! The first one to enter is the son of Judal Harvey who carried forward and put into practice the construction of Lunaltia Base??and a first generation Lunaltian who is also a relative of Claire Harvey, the current board chairman of Lunaltia Base Cooperative System! He is Jake Harvey-kun!? 

Together with those words, the profile and figure of Jake were projected on the monitors of the venue. 

He has won every Martial Arts Tournament in Liberia since long ago. Even in this World Martial Arts Tournament his name was nominated as one of the favorites to win the?Boys and Girls Category?ever since the decision to hold it was done! And now, as it was expected, he came to the stage of the finals!? 

Like his aunt Claire, the figure of Jake wearing a red Variable Suit appeared on the battlefield, and the biggest cheers so far burst. 

It was a good entrance. 

Before long, Jake got to the center of the battlefield, and together with that, the shouts of joy calmed down and the music stopped. 

However, that silence lasted for an instant. 

Because the track changed completely and this time it was the turn of Kaito’s entrance. 

Then again, the voice of Carol was heard. 

The one facing Jake-kun is the son of Kisaragi Hayato, the hero who brought peace to the world after he destroyed the production site of Savages and who fought together with Claire Harvey, the board chairman of Lunaltia Base Cooperative System and Emilia Hermit also known as Emilia Gudenburg, the third princess of the Kingdom of Gudenburg and his name is Kisaragi Kaito-kun!? 

The moment she heard the announcement, Emilia showed a displeasured look on her face. 

She said like she were complaining about it. 

– Good grief, it’s not necessary to say anything about Gudenburg. I’ll go to protest her later. 

– Take it easy. There’s no need to get this angry, is there? 

The one who calmed her down, looking flustered was Hayato. 

Even though she pretty much didn’t declare to be a princess, her father Granard Frederic Arthur Gudenburg, the King of the Kingdom of Gudenburg, also participated in the wedding, so that matter was known around the world already. 

Incidentally, King Granard recovered his physical condition, so he still continued reigning the seat of the King of the Kingdom of Gudenburg. 

Hayato and Emilia took the children with them and went to visit him once or twice a year. 

The meaning was a little different, but children should hold marriages together, shouldn’t they? 

The relationship between Emilia and her relatives seemed to be going quite well thanks to the lovely children. 

This time, neither King Granard nor her relatives could come to the moon, but Hayato and Kaito had heard through Emilia that they were rooting for them via internet. 

– Kaito looks nervous. 

Mito muttered, appearing to be worried while looking at Kaito wearing a black Variable Suit and who resembled Hayato as he appeared from the left part of the stage. 

– Ahaha, that’s true. 

Emilia agreed while giving a strained laugh. 

– … is he going to be okay? 

Hayato muttered next. 

At any rate, his hands and feet were moving together. 

He got worried about whether he can show his performance in that condition. 

Even more worried because he was heading towards the center of the battlefield where Jake stood with a confident attitude. 

They, Kaito and Jake??. 

Emilia remembered something after watching the completely opposite entrance of the two. 

– This really got nostalgic. I ended up recalling the events of that time. 

Emilia let leak those words. 

– Of that time…? 

What do you mean? Hayato asked. 

Latia raised her voice. 

– I think I remembered the same thing as Emilia. You too, Fritz…? 

– Yeah… 

Fritz nodded and replied. 

– The day after our enrollment in Little Garden, right? 

– Ah… 

With that, Hayato remembered. 

Going back to the past, around 17 years ago??the duel with the Queen, Claire Harvey, that took place the day after their enrollment in Little Garden. 

– But, I felt that the Hayato of that time, rather than being nervous, he didn’t know what to do. 

– Certainly, that’s how it was. 

*Nod* *Nod*, Latia nodded her head. 

The one who cut into the conversation in a hurry was Hayato, the person concerned. 

– Stop it, you two. At that time, only two days had passed since I got my Hundred and you know that. It was natural that I didn’t know anything, don’t you think? 

Laughter arose from the surroundings as they looked at Hayato who said so embarrassed. 

– … it’s really nostalgic. 

Emilia murmured with deep emotion as she looked at Kaito and Jake at the center of the battlefield. 

That time when she turned her eyes to the two of them in the same way was recalled in her mind. 

– Yeah, it is. 

Truly nostalgic. 

But??. 

They were able to remember it as if it were yesterday. 

Around the same moment when Hayato, Emilia and company were immersed in deep emotion. 

Claire, who was the opponent of Hayato at that time, was also immersed in nostalgic thoughts like them at the commentator’s desk. 

The one sitting next to her and who was carrying out the live coverage of the?Boys and Girls Category?was Shuemei. 

She was also immersed in nostalgic thoughts. 

– … President Claire, I also remembered the old days. The day after I enrolled in Little Garden. 

– Me too, I also remembered the same thing mashitawa. The duel between me and Kisaragi Hayato desuwane? 

– At that time, you got in a duel because of Noah and me. That is truly nostalgic. 

– 17 years since th??there was no way that I would be thinking about this, not even in a corner of my head deshitawa. 

That Kisaragi Kaito, the son of Kisaragi Hayato and Emilia Hermit, and Jake Harvey, the son of her older brother Judal Harvey and his bodyguard Neveah Grauss were going to have a duel on the moon like this??. 

While Claire showed a complex smile, Kaito and Jake finally reached the center of the battlefield. 

Liddy Steinberg, the president of Little Garden, was waiting for them. 

Liddy told the specific rules to the two of them and checked them. 

That wouldn’t last more than a minute. 

Finally, Liddy started talking to the two of them. 

– Now, be sure to follow the instructions of Claire-sama. I expect a good match. 

– Of course. 

– Got it. 

Liddy heard the replies of Kaito and Jake who fired them consecutively and left the battlefield, being satisfied. 

Now, both Kaito and Jake were going to deploy their Hundred to clash. 

Kisaragi Kaito and Jake Harvey, deploy your Hundred at the same time? 

Claire’s voice resounded in the excited premises. 

And in the battlefield, of course. 

Following her voice, Jake put his hand on the neck case to take out the Hundred and asked to Kaito. 

– The promise, do you remember it? 

– You mean dating Mito-chan? Yeah, I remember it. 

Kaito replied and continued to provoke him. 

– On the other hand, if I win, you’re going to talk with Chris-san and Claire-san so that they allow me to enroll in Little Garden by skipping a grade. You promised that! 

– Yeah, of course. I promise! 

Jake answered and grasped tightly the Hundred he took out from the neck case and continued speaking. 

– ??however, the one who will definitely win is me! And, I’m going to date Mito-san! 

Jake threw the Hundred into the sky and shouted. 

– HUNDRED ON! 

A strong light enveloped Jake’s body and created an armament. 

A Dragoon-type Hundred that was almost identical to his aunt Claire’s Hundred Alisterion. Then Kaito followed him and took out the Hundred from the neck case. 

(There’s no way I can lose!) 

In this place??. 

He made lots of efforts to reach the finals. 

He fought with a lot of people. 

All for the sake of fighting Jake. 

For what was tied to the future ahead. 

(Yeah, I’ll absolutely win!) 

And open up that future! 

He put his own thoughts into the Hundred. 

And grasped it very tightly. 

Kaito shouted. 

– Whether you like it or not, this is the end??HUNDRED ON! 

What appeared in his hand was a Chevalier-type Hundred that was the splitting image of his father Kisaragi Hayato’s Hien??Hayate. 

– Here we go, Hayato. 

– Yeah?? 

And now, the finals of World Martial Arts Tournament?Boys and Girls Category?is about to begin! Is Kisaragi Kaito-kun going to win? Or perhaps Jake Harvey-kun will win!? The battle gathering the attention of all the world??no, of the whole universe is about to begin!? 

Following the words of Shuemei, ““3、2、1”, the numbers of the countdown were displayed on the huge monitors installed at the venue. 

And at the same time it changed to zero??. 

Well then, let the match begin desuwa!? 

Following the announcement of Claire, the curtain of the battle between Kaito and Jake watched by men and women of the Earth, the moon and New Planet Notre Dame, by billions of people??was opened. 

(The End)
