Chapter 2.4

 





ISNR: Vol . 2, Ch . 2, pt .  4

 

 

It’s now the after school period .

First of all, we divided into teams because there are too much people .

My team consists of four people . Me, Sharo senpai, Kushinada senpai and Ruirui .  

The other team consists of Tenka, Kunisaki and Maria, three people .

For the time being, we are divided into these two teams in pursuit of Kushinada Himeko .

“We are counting on you, Tenka chan . ”

“Alright, Koujirou kun . Just because Raika kun is not around, don’t go thinking that you can put your hand on Maria, got it?”

“What are you talking about? Don’t you know that I’m a trustworthy guy?”

Kunisaki smoothly escape Tenka accusations .

Slightly shocked, I sighed at their behaviour .

“We will search around the West District . Kunisaki and the others will go to the East District . ”

Right now, we are at the monorail station at South District .

This is the nearest train station from our school .

From here, we will take separate trains to the West and East District respectively .

After hearing my explanation so far, Kunisaki raises his hand .

“Forgive me for asking, why the West and East District respectively?”

“The area around North District and South District was searched thoroughly . Plus, both Ruirui and Tenka are well versed with the area surrounding the West and East District . ”

Tenka lived in East Dormitory while Ruirui lived in West Dormitory .

They might not be that familiar with each nook and cranny of this district, but at least they know the overall layout .

Slightly, I narrow down my eyes on Tenka .

“Tenka . I leave searching the Eastern District to you . ”

“Leave it to me!”

“……right . ”

Looking at her face with a wide smile still give a shiver up to my spine .

However, even during this morning, I was able to handle it calmly .

Truth to be told, my hatred towards her is still lingering .

Emotion Control .

I was taught on how to best deal with own emotions .

The way it works varies from person to person .

Anger and murderous intent, burn like fire, some people turn into a passion .

I’m the opposite of that .

I tried to image a blade of ice .

Cold, sharpen, as sharp as my own killing intent .

Right now, my blade is still sheathed inside my heart .

Someday in the future, the blade will be buried deeply under his neck .

“……”

My expression returns back to normal, and then I said .

“Then, let’s give our respective reports tomorrow . ”

“Understood~”

Tenka winks and give a strange salute .

Just like that, we went our separate ways .

Before that, Kushinada senpai stopped Tenka and the other .

“Sorry . Tenka san, Maria san, Kunisaki san, thank you very much . ”

“We don’t mind it at all, senpai . It’s normal to help each other when they are troubled . ”

Tenka smiled and said so to Kushinada senpai .

Both Maria and Kunisaki are wearing the same expression as her .

Kushinada senpai look at them and bow her head again .

On the other hand, Kunisaki glanced at me and grinned . Pg . 108

“Just because Nadeshiko senpai is a beauty, don’t you dare lay your hand on her alright?”

“He is not Kunisaki, nothing to worry about . ”

“Raika really can spew some abusive words sometimes . ”

Kunisaki retorts such .

Good grief, talking with Kunisaki really ease my mind .

Ever since participating in the Representative War, the weight in my mind has increased exponentially, it’s turning into an unnecessary burden .

I’ve been thinking a lot about it, and not able to say it out .

“Then, see you later . ”

“Right . ”

I will return back to dormitory once it’s darken .

At that time, I will meet Kunisaki again .

I waved to the three of them, and return back to Sharo senpai .

“Now, should we head to the West District?’

Kushinada Himeko dormitory was at West District .

That means there is still chance that she is still nearby in the West District . There might be a lead .

“Though, the West District is a very large place . Where do you plan to start our investigation?”

Ruirui asked that question while we are walking towards the station .

“There is warehouse at the western town . ”

“Sure, that’s where they keep stuff stored from the port . What’s that got to do with this?”





“No, there is nothing particularly of interest over there . Anyways, lets start from there . Are you fine with that, Kushinada senpai?”

“Yes . ”

Kushinada senpai nodded .

“……”

I don’t go into the details, but I believe that if Kushinada Himeko is still alive and well, she must be somewhere nearby the town’s warehouse .

The reason is food .

A missing person without any cash with him, how do you think he will acquire food?

Resorting to an illegal way is the only method left .

In essence, theft——that is the reason why I don’t explain everything to Kushinada senpai properly .

So, where can she steal the food? Like what was mentioned earlier, the warehouse is used to store various kind of things from the port .

It’s the first place that will be aimed .

Of course, that’s all depended on how tight is the security at the warehouse . That is why we are going there to confirm it .

Eventually, the monorail arrived, and with that we ride towards the West District .

 

 

We got off at the second station in west area, and from there we went straight to the warehouse .

“It’s really quiet here . ”

“That is because the western town is basically a port . ”

Catching me staring at outside the window, Ruirui start talking to me .

The West District is the quietest place among the four-main district .

The main facility here is the port, the warehouse to keep the goods from the port, and a factory to process food .

There seems to be no other facilities here .

“I’ve expected it to have karaoke at least, just like the one that can be found at the South District . There is lot of vacant lots here, must be dead silent at night . ”

Ruirui is spreading out her hand, as if lamenting .

It’s everyday occurrence on this island to be dead at nighttime . Though, I will keep myself from retorting to her .

“Ruirui, there are lots of vacant spots here because they will be used when new facility is being built . ”

“That’s explain why there are many vacant lots!”

Certainly, the scenery outside the window is that of empty lots and nothing appear to be interesting .

That’s lead Ruirui to mourn for this place .

While chit-chatting about that, our bus finally arrived at the station nearby the warehouse town .

We are the only one getting off at this place .

“I can smell the beach . ”

Sharo senpai get down from the bus while keeping her silver hair .

If we went further west from this location, we will reach the harbor .

Since the warehouse were arranged in stack, we are unable to see the port and the sea directly .

“Kyaa! The wind here sure is strong . ”

“Right?”

I agreed while feeling the sea breeze hitting my cheek .

The island always gets their winds from the west due to the influence of the west wind .

That is why the wind is particularly stronger in this area .

A loud intermittent sound from the wind can be heard coming from the warehouse .

“Since this warehouse area is larger than expected, what do you say we split into two teams?”

“Is it fine for four of us to separate?”

Ruirui asked me .

Well, our work will be more efficient that way, but .

“No……I’m just giving my opinion . ”

“Is that so . ”

Ruirui let the matter go easily .

I wonder if either of it is fine for this girl .

I look at her eyes .

“Then, Ruirui and Kushinada senpai . Together, you will search for whatever trace is left by Himeko san . Let’s regroup later at this bus stop after an hour . ”

“Yes, roger that . ”

“In the unlikely event, can I expect you to protect senpai properly?”

“I know that already/”

Under the influence of my Evil Eye of Obedience, Ruirui walked away together with Kushinada senpai .

I look back at Sharo senpai .

“We are going too . ”

“Un . ”

We move towards the opposite direction from the others .

The warehouse was lined up in many lines across the paved road . Although we are walking straight, we were forced to cross the road many times .

“Somehow this area layout is very confusing . ”

“That is because the landscape is nothing but the warehouse and the road . ”

“Those who are managing this place, I wonder if they get lost sometimes?”

“I’m sure they can manage it well, there is number allocated for each entrance after all . ”

“Ah, is that so . ”

I continue to have idle talk with Sharo senpai .

She seems to be more talkative that usual today .

“You really talk a lot today, senpai . ”

“Eh! Uh, do you really think so?”





“That’s what I think . Not like I mind it . ”

I look over my neck .

Sharo senpai is squeezing both of her fingers together .

“That……I don’t have much chance to talk with Raika kun before . ”

She answers it quietly .

“… . . ”

I don’t hear her talking much ever since this noon .

During our discussion, we were consulted by Kushinada senpai . While travelling to the west, only Ruirui talked . Pg . 115

Even so, I don’t see not being talkative as a problem at all .

『——uhihihi . You’re an idiot when it comes to woman . 』

Bálor laughed heartily .

“?”

I don’t know what’s so funny about this .

Since I don’t get it, I better change the topic .

“By the way, how’re your condition compared to then?”

“My condition?”

“I’m talking about Brünnhilde . ”

“Oh, Brünnhilde san?”

Sharo senpai nodded .

This girl has a Valkyrie named as brunhilde residing in her body .

I have her sealed inside her body with my Devil Eye of Dominance .

“Even though she can’t resurface on her own, she is still technically a God . There is no telling what she might planned . Please let me know as soon you feel like something is wrong . ”

“Ah, yes…kyaa!”

“What’s the matter?”

“No, Brünnhilde san screamed [There is no way I’m going to do that!] just now . ”

Apparently, Brünnhilde is protesting against what I said just now .

“Stop surprising senpai like that . ”

I give a piercing order towards her who is still inside senpai .

Then Sharo senpai said hurriedly .

“I’m alright, Raika kun . Brünnhilde san, she rarely gets talkative . ”

“……is that so . ”

Then, there is no problem .

But, why does it look like Sharo senpai is in friendly terms with Brünnhilde?

Is it because she is a naturally kind person?


Or is it because of the presence of God?

“……”

I don’t get what is her feeling now .

For now, let’s keep observing her .

Anyways, she sure doesn’t hold her speech . So distasteful .

『——what’s that . As if you never speak like that before . 』

Don’t you know how to shut your mouth?

『——hoho . Keep up with attitude, and I will endlessly disturb you no matter during your class or your sleep . 』

……stop .

『——uhihi . I wonder how far a virgin like you can handle my ‘adult’ talk . 』

This perverted evil God……!

Although it’s possible to temporarily shut off my auditory organ by concentrating, there is no way I can shrug off the voice speaking directly to my soul . Pg . 117

What should I do if this idiot truly did what he declared just now……

His foolishness really gives me headache all the time .

“What’s wrong, Raika kun?”

“No, nothing in particular . ”

I shake my head towards Sharo senpai who have a worried face .

“Ah, um, what were we talking about just now?”

“The thing about Brünnhilde san?”

“Ah, that one is fine . ”

“……Brünnhilde san is getting mad again . ”

“I will scold her carefully later . ”

“Hmm, could you stop it already?”

“Well, if Sharo senpai said so . ”

“Please . ”

“Then, what is it that you want to talk about?”

“Um……eh?”

Sharo senpai tilted her head .

『——it was something previously when you chatted . 』

Told by Bálor, I finally remembered our conversation .

Meanwhile, Sharo senpai laughed softly .

“I may have not said anything worth mentioning . ”

I said that, and she laughed again .

That expression, she looks really happy .

Why is senpai laughing?





『——you are truly dense . 』

Wha?

I get uncomfortable since I felt like I was judge unconditionally, but Bálor are not dropping any clues till the end .

“……now that we’re talking, you know…”

Sharo senpai said in a somewhat restrained voice,

“Yesterday, I mean, what is the relationship between Raika kun and Ruirui san?”

So, she asked .

That said, yesterday she really did came barging in my room without permission……

“This might’ve sound like an excuse, but there really is nothing between me and Ruirui . Of course, I didn’t force her with my Evil Eye also . ”

“Ah! Un, I don’t doubt you . ”

Sharo senpai hurriedly shakes her head .

“Then, you don’t have any feeling for Ruirui san, no?”

“Of course . ”

“……I see . ”

“?”

Why her face relaxed out of sudden?

That time, the sea breeze softly caresses Sharo senpai hair .

She stopped at the crossroad, and carefully combed her hair .

“Raika kun, have you ever swim in the ocean?”

Perhaps influence with the salt laced gust, Sharo senpai suddenly throw me the question .

Long time ago, I remembered the time before the Myth War .

My sister just turned five, the memory when me and my family went to the ocean for the first time .

“Yes, long time ago, I did . ”

“Is that so……I never have the chance, not even once . That’s because there was no sea nearby . ”

Sharo senpai turns her eyes to the west .

Far beyond the warehouse, there is a sea .

Although the sea was not visible due to our distance, it felt as if the sea was just right ahead .

Listening carefully, it felt like I can hear the sound .

“When it starts getting hot, I’m sure everyone will want to go to the sea . ”

Sharo senpai sits still together with a soliloquy .

“Everyone?”

“Raika kun and Tenka chan, Ruirui san and Maria san, also, Kunisaki kun, all six of us . ”

“……You’re right . ”

It’s still chilly right now .

Still a long way before it starts getting hot .

Will the Representative War over by that time?

Impossible .

Will all of us survive, I wonder .

Of course, I will take everything back, and protect it .

I will do it without fail .

That is something that Sharo senpai herself knows .

That’s why, she said the words .

That’s why, I .

“Shall we go then, with everyone?”

“Un . But, they won’t allow us to swim at the harbour, right?”

“If not mistaken, the North District has a beach . ”

“Then, why don’t we go there . When the time comes, I hope Raika kun will instruct me how to swim . ”

“No problem . ”

I nodded .

It’s just a small promise, the future felt so distant .

But, it’s worth promising .

Until I fulfil the promise, I will definitely protect her .

Once again, I reaffirmed my determination .

“If you don’t mind, we can go to the pool . I will teach you swimming there . ”

“That is a good idea . Suddenly start at the ocean might be dangerous . ”

“Then, why don’t we go to the pool at the South District pool coming Sunday……?”

Sharo senpai said happily .

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew .

Her skirt rises up till my eyes level .

“Huh?”

“——!?”

『——YAHOO! 』

I closed my eyes in hurry, but it seems that I was a bit tad late .

Listening to Bálor cheers makes me grit my teeth .

“……did you look?”

While holding down her skirts, Sharo senpai asked .

Her face was dyed as red as ripe tomato .

I’m at a loss of word .

The moment happens in an instant, however, with my acute visual which I have trained for years, I manage to capture every moment clearly .

To be honest, or not .

“I d-don’t see it . ”

I chose to lie .

『——uhihihi . What are you acting shy for? It’s not like you’ve never seen her naked before . 』

Just fucking shut up, you fucking perverted Evil God!

Bálor humour really disgust me .

“……”

“……”

Both me and Sharo senpai kept silent for a while . Soon, she opened her mouth .

“It’s o-okay, even if you saw it . ”

Since she can’t say otherwise, she chooses to go along with my lies . Pg . 124

However, even though the trouble has gone, the feeling of guilt still remains .

I never thought the day where I regret training my eyesight will come……

I felt embarrassed, making me turn my eyes towards the hot day .

Then .

“……?”

This time, I found something else on my right eye .

“Sharo senpai . ”

“Yes?”

I beckon Sharo senpai to follow me go through these warehouses .

Then, I stopped in front of one of the warehouse .

“What’s wrong?”

“Please take a look……here . Do you understand?”

I pointed at the wall of the warehouse .

At first glance, it was just a wall .

But, after looking at it closely .

“……eh? It’s cracked?”

Sharo senpai gradually turned her head .

“This crack was not caused by natural deterioration . This wall was cracked nby force, no, it was slashed down . ” pg . 125

The wall surface was cut into squarish shape at shoulder height .

In other word, by pushing this slashed wall aside .

Gigyi…… Batan!

A square hole appears on the wall .

“What, is this?”

“Most probably an entrance . The preparator slashed it down and make his way inside . Later on, he re-pastes the wall to camouflage it . ”

It sounds easy when I said it, however it’s not like we can cut it down like a scissor to a paper .

This wall is at least 10 cm thick .

The ability to slash a perfect square like this, I don’t think this belong to any humane feat .

Is this perhaps the work of God?

『——Well, the probability is very high . 』

I asked Sharo senpai to wait outside while I take a quick look around in this warehouse .

Apparently, this warehouse seems to be storing foods .

There are lots of preserve food like ham and meat stored inside .

I don’t have the leisure to inspect the whole warehouse carefully, though, I managed to found a trace of something being taken from the shelves .

The person who drilled the hole on this warehouse wall must have been stealing on regular basis .

Otherwise, why trouble themselves by re-pasting the wall .

I get out the hole, and fixed back the fallen part to its position .

Since the cut part is considerably heavy itself, this fortifies my theory that this was not done by any ordinary people .

I already seen the portrait of Kushinada Himeko, and it’s very unlikely that she can do this with her thin limbs .

So, the other suspect would be……another Divine Apotheosis…

“……!?”

That’s no good .

That’s the worst possible answer .

Although I can explain this situation by mincing some words off, this will still be too heavy for Kushinada senpai to accept……

“Raika kun……?”

“Let’s go back, senpai . ”

“But, this……”

“Yes, I will come back and check this later . However, it’s wiser for us to back away for now . If we don’t, then we might involve Kushinada senpai . ”

“……!”

Sharo senpai face shaken .

This island becomes an entirely different place by night time .

Even if anything get break during the night time, it will be fixed when morning came .

But the hole on this wall remains cut .

That means, the preparator who slashed this wall down is entering and leaving this place during day time .

There is high possibility that we will have a dangerous encounter with it if we remain in this place .

Before returning back here, a minimum preparation must be done .

While checking the time on my wrist watch, I decided that returning back to our gathering place is for the best .

5

 

Our search at the warehouse town doesn’t bring up any results .

Just like that, I reported back to Kushinada senpai .
