Disclaimers: Infinite Stratos do not belong to me.

Story so far: Ichika went to the IS to retrieve the [VT System] as Tabane requested. On the way, an unexpected enemy, an IS by the name of Diablos appeared in the IS arena from below and attacks the contenders of the Individual Divisional Tournament. Ichika, with some help manage to stop the wyvern IS peace returned at the IS academy, and he managed to retrieved the [VT System] and sent it to Tabane.

Ichika's subconscious

Inside Ichika's dream realm lies the same ruined castle from before, and the damaged he caused with it due to certain weapon testing. There an unexpected visitor arrives, yet he met her before.

"Oh my other self, it seems that we are gaining strength ever since that wyvern's defeat, or is it the collected power of our sisters."

The knight made a unexpected return after being disintegrated right before his eyes during his first meeting.

"We have been growing and been together for three years, and yet we still have a lot more to go..."

The [White Knight] told her other self.

"This isn't our second meeting Orimura Ichika. In fact, even when I disintegrated and morph myself into you wasn't our first meeting either."

"...?" Ichika somehow confused by her statement.

"We've met even before we have become one, don't you remember Orimura Ichika, the first pilot of the IS?"

"...!"

"I recalled correctly when I was in a prototype stage, you approached me and touched me. I respond to your touch and from there, I have met you Orimura Ichika. You and I are partners for a short moment, until your sister piloted me after that 'incident'."

"..."

"You do know what incident I'm referring to Orimura Ichika?"

"..."

"The White Knight incident, an incident named after me. It was when you and I become one and destroyed the threats that hit this country ten years ago. You were young back then by the age of eight, and yet we somehow have saved this prosperous country from 2341 missiles and the armies from another country."

The White Knight deploys her claymore and put the sword on the ground and what happens was that the surrounding of the castle changed into a familiar scene for both of them.

Ten years ago

It was the exact scene. They were in the sky and along with that 2341 missiles came jetting along, threatened to destroy Japan. Ichika didn't bothered that both of them were floating and the missiles didn't actually made contact, instead the missiles actually passed through them. But right before their eyes, a familiar figure appeared.

It was the White Knight, at least from ten years ago. Specifically, it's them from ten years ago.

"Here is where we stood ten years ago,and we stared at all the missiles with our eyes and we held our sword tight as we anticipate that moment."

The two watches as their past selves destroyed approximately half of the missiles, and use a ranged weapon on the other left to destroy the rest of the missile.

However that is not the end of it, after the missiles were neutralized lots of the so-called modern weapons come to intervene. But the pair was able to destroy them, specifically that was destroyed were 207 fighter jets, 7 cruisers, 5 aircraft carriers and 8 satellites, of course no casualties were counted. It was that fateful day that the IS were become famous. However after that incident, the White Knight along with Ichika vanished. The White Knight was the first IS ever operated, and Ichika was the first to piloted the IS.

Ichika didn't really vanished, and so does the White Knight. People would say that after her disappearance, the White Knight rests into some research facility. But in reality, after that incident Ichika simply gave Tabane back the White Knight in a form of a gauntlet. And after receiving the gauntlet, Tabane gave him a,

"Thank you Ikkun..."

Ichika and the White Knight then went and followed the past Ichika as he went into his home.

Back then Ichika didn't tell his sister about his involvement about the White Knight incident. And back in his house, Chifuyu saw the news,

This just in, the new super weapon, the Infinite Stratos or IS has saved Japan from an assault from an unknown origin, and also proved to beat all the latest weapons available. The creator of the IS is Shinonono Tabane, who said that the White Knight, the IS that saved Japan was her first IS that has ever been made.

The article continues as Chifuyu looks around and to found that her brother is right behind her.

"You're late..."

"...Cleaning duty."

"..."

"..."

"You're hiding something aren't you Ichika?"

The past Ichika nodded.

"The White Knight..."

"...! Don't tell me that you're the one involved in this incident I'm seeing right now on the news?!"

"Yes.."

"*Sigh* Of course, Tabane dragged you into this didn't she?"

"I volunteered..."

"*Sigh* At least you're safe, you're tired aren't you Ichika?"

The two looked at the past Chifuyu and Ichika as both went upstairs, which Ichika recalled they were having a bath together.

"It was that moment that you two were having such a good time in that bath ten years ago, if you know what I mean. Hey guys, I was just wondering that I want to drop by and follow you, can I join with you guys?"

The ninja-ninja alter ego Ichiko appeared and commented on the current situation.

"..."

"..."

"I'll take that silence as a yes..."

"Ichiko, Orimura Ichika's alter ego. You have been supporting him since he was troubled back in his time. And now, you have taken into a physical form and can be seen by others, that is of course if he's troubled."

"..."

"OK, what time are we going next?"

"Just after this, alter ego."

Few Days Later, Ichika's Subconscious

"Tabane, where is it?"

"Eh~?"

The trio watched a scene that Ichika had never seen before. It is because this is the view point from the White Knight herself, in the gauntlet form.

"The White Knight, where is it?"

"Oh that, what do you want with the White Knight?"

"I want to see it for myself."

"Okie dokie if it's for you Chi-chan, here you go~"

The gauntlet that was handed from Tabane to Chifuyu, and immediately Chifuyu put on the gauntlet.

"This is when I received your sister's information, all of it into me. And from there, I have been with her around in one whole year, until she suggested to get another IS. Which happens to be Kurazakura, and the core that Kurazakura used to reside in and currently reside in Byaku Shiki, core 002."

The White Knight speaks as the scene continues with the past Chifuyu testing out the IS [White Knight].

"So this is the IS Ichika had piloted, no wonder that idiot survived that incident."

"Uh huh, I know what I'm doing Chi-chan~"

"..."

"And now, three years ago from our current time line, we have finally reunited. Your progress seems to be doing well, and there seems to be more awaiting."

"..."

"Is the field trip over White Knight?"

"Yes, this trip towards memory lane is over. I shall return myself to you, and you shall return outside of your dream realm into the real world."

The world surrounding them crumbles and everything went black.

Tabane's Laboratory

Ichika woke up, he is the only one currently awake. He tidied his room, do his daily individual tasks of preparing the morning and looks for the others to see if the others are still awake.

"Ah Onii-sama, good morning."

"Ah Onii-san, morning."

There, Uchigane seemed to be sitting in a seiza position meditating and Revy practicing with her rapier. And yet, no signs of that energetic rabbit nearby.

"Tabane-sama? I think she's still sleeping."

"Hm, she said that she's in the middle of modifying the [VT System]."

"..."

As Ichika was about to go to Tabane's room, Moppy greeted him,

"Hey Ichika-san. Wanna wake up Tabane together?"

Ichika didn't replied, but Moppy followed him anyway.

"Hey wait up!"

And when Ichika arrived at her room, Tabane was asleep on her working desk. Her sleeping yet blushing face showed for Ichika to see and also drool that come out of her mouth are also present.

"Mm~ Ii-kun, a little rougher please~."

Tabane's hips rock back and forth on her seat as Tabane continues to mutter in her sleep.

"Ah Ii-kun, it's so big. It feels so good Ii-kun~~!"

"...?"

Her hips rock back and forth even further, harder and faster.

"Ii-kun you're deep inside me, I'm so happy~."

"...?"

"At this rate I'm going to be pregnant with our child Ii-kun~."

"...!"

"Ii-kun, I'm gonna cum! Ii-kun, Ii-kun, II-KUN~~!"

Tabane arched back from her chair from her dream orgasm and after that went back in the original position with a blissful feeling in her face. It seems that Tabane had a wet dream.

"Ii-kun...I love you~~"

"..."

"Hmm..."

Tabane slowly opened her eyes as she wakes up.

"...Ii-kun, good morning."

"Morning Tabane." Moppy greeted her back.

Tabane sluggishly gets up from her work desk and grabs Ichika for her morning hug.

"GOOD MORNING II-KUN~~~"

"..."

"What's for breakfast Ii-kun? This Tabane-san is very hungry, but first let's go to the bath. I really want to go the bath with Ii-kun today~."

"Uh...I don't Ichika-san can have a bath with you Tabane. He already took a shower just now."

"Aww~ Ii-kun, you should have waited for me~."

"But if it's a sponge bath, then Ichika-san can at least make up for it-"

Moppy was interrupted as Ichika shut Moppy up.

"A sponge bath? Tabane-san wants a sponge bath~!"

"Hey, Moppy wants a sponge bath too-"

Moppy somehow able to speak briefly before her mouth being shut by Ichika again.

"OK, all three of us go to the bath together~!" Tabane somehow dragged Ichika along with Moppy to the bath, and the usually rare routine for today continued as usual.

Tabane instantly took off all of her clothes except her rabbit ears on the spot and tugs Ichika into the bath, Moppy who is already naked in the first place joins in the fun, that is if Ichika consider this as fun.

This routine doesn't happen often, but when it does Ichika always finds himself seeing and touching her naked body from all the sponge baths he did before and all of the sponge baths, Tabane seems to be enjoying it. And today is the same as always.

IS Academy, Room 1025, Byaku Shiki

It was quite a ruckus yesterday, Laura Bodewig kissed me forcefully and called me her wife. Now I'm not really familiar with relationship like this, even when Orimura-sensei explained it to me yesterday, it is still rather foggy and it will take a while for me to absorb that kind of information.

Back at yesterday, I went to Orimura-sensei's office as being told and Laura somehow followed me and participate the special lecture.

"Byaku Shiki, a relationship relating to others is very hard to understand, especially when it involves someone that is not related to you directly. So it is no surprise that it will take around a long time to understand."

"Okay, so that I'm not really in love with Laura Bodewig."

"In this case, NO! You must search your feelings, then you'll know if you fall in love with someone Byaku Shiki. And Bodewig, a kiss alone won't make someone love you as you please, it is more complicated than that."

"I-I see.."

"In general, you always start from zero when it comes from relationship. You don't just get someone to like you instantly, you have to do it in your own pace. One other thing, relationships are not fun and games, if you would fool around with relationships, either your own relationships or others' relationships, you will be in a world of trouble. Do you understand that Byaku Shiki?"

"Umm..."

"Take your time, I understand that you're trying hard."

"Instructor, does this mean that Byaku Shiki is not officially my wife?"

"Of course not, unless she accepts it of course."

"Byaku Shiki, do you accept yourself as my bride?"

"..."

"I see..."

"Alright you two, this special lecture is over. You are both dismissed."

And that's how far I have learned about relationships, sort of.

YAWN~~~

It's early morning, and I gotta get up for another normal day as a student. I got up off my bed and I noticed there's a bump in the middle of my bed. I took off the covers and what I saw was Laura sleeping on my bed naked, except for her eye patch and [Schwarzer Regen]-nee on her right thigh.

And I somehow woke her up as she gets up and rubbed one of her eye.

"...Is it morning already?"

Should I be surprised because she's naked or that she just slept with me without my knowledge?

"Um...Laura, when did you get here?"

"Isn't it okay that I'm here?"

"Isn't that what they called trespassing?"

"Why are you worried Byaku Shiki?"

"Why are you not concerned that you're naked right in front of me?"

"Isn't it suggested that spouses have nothing to hide?"

"What are you saying?"

"Isn't it alright that I am now naked right in front of you?"

"Who gave you that information?"

"Does it really matter?"

"You do realize that I'm not getting any of this are you?"

"Would you like me to explain it one more time?"

"Are you awake Byaku Shiki?" A knock on the door can be heard, and another person is on the other side, by that voice it's Houki.

"Um, does my reply to you consider as a yes?"

"May I come in then?" Even before I gave her a reply, she opened the door. I thought I already locked the door, unless this is how Laura got in here in the first place.

"Byaku Shiki, do you have time for Kendo later today?"

"Why would you ask me that?"

"It's just you need to sharpen your-!"

As Houki saw us, she dropped her shinai that she holds just a few seconds ago.

"...!" Her face is somehow captivating, although it is not the most appropriate thing to say to her right now.

"L-Laura, idiot hide them, put some clothes on!"

"I thought that spouses don't hide anything from each other."

"Baka, who told you that information!?"

"Not to mentioned that you're my wife Byaku Shiki." Laura looks at me as she said that.

"But I don't accept myself as your wife."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"...I see. I guess I have to go to my room."

"Wait you idiot, you're not going anywhere outside this room in your birthday suit you're not!" Houki stopped Laura from leaving my room.

"Birthday suit?"

"Byaku Shiki, do you have any spare clothing?"

"Well..."

I gave her my casual outfit, although it is too big for me because Orimura-sensei gave me clothes that she mentioned was belong to someone close to her. And I only gave Laura a T-shirt that would cover her up.

"That shirt alone will do..now get going, or the others will see you."

Without replying but with a nod, Laura left my room.

"*Sigh* That Laura, she's a weird one."

"I agree."

"Well then, see you at the kendo dojo later."

"Hey, I didn't say 'yes'!"

"Now you do, see ya then." Houki left.

I think I hit a loophole there. But I don't think there's any other way to improve my sword skills. Better as well to take a shower to start my day.

Cafeteria

Hm...only a few seats left huh? I ordered my breakfast and tried to look at least a good place to sit and enjoy my breakfast.

Charles' table has lots of girls, all three years are included and there seems to be no more seats left there. Charles has been quite popular lately, even though he only transferred here around two weeks ago. I guess being the only male to pilot us has it's perks, especially he has met Onii-chan before.

Then I remembered something, Charles can provide me information relating to relationship as I saw him before flirting with other girls. I better ask him if I have the opportunity.

"BYAKU-CHAN, RIGHT HERE!"

I saw Golem-nee waving at me as she had an empty table for me, and maybe for some other girls.

"Golem-nee, thanks. So what about the Individual Divisional Tournament?"

"GOLEM HEARD THAT IT WAS COMPLETELY CANCELLED DUE TO DIABLOS."

"Diablos..."

Diablos had caused same damage around two days ago, and Diablos seems to be resting on one of the IS arenas. Diablos is somehow different from the rest of us ISes. Diablos doesn't shaped like a human, and it doesn't require a human pilot to activate itself, which Golem-nee also doesn't need a human pilot also but...

Never mind about that. All of the people in the IS academy including us students are informed that Diablos will be returned to it's owner in a few days. Until then, what would Diablos do?

"Oi!" That voice, it must be Kanzashi.

"Ah, Kanzashi." Kanzashi sat on the remaining empty seat, and eats her breakfast.

"The Individual Divisional Tournament is canceled huh?"

"Yeah..."

"So want to go shopping tomorrow Byaku Shiki, Golem?"

"Shopping...I guess I might want to try that."

"WHAT WE SHOP FOR?"

"Let's see...we could shop for swimsuits. It's summer now, so why not take the opportunity?"

"So where are we shopping later?"

"In the mall near the IS academy."

"SOUNDS LIKE FUN!"

Kanzashi sweat dropped for some reason.

"Oh yeah, since you're an IS you don't know much do you, especially you don't have a pilot. So I'll come with you later on."

"WAHH, I-I'M LATE...I'M ALMOST LATE...!"

Hm...that voice. I saw my roommate Charlotte frantically ordering her meal set and approached our tables.

"Charlotte!"

"G-Good morning Byaku Shiki!"

"Did you overslept?"

"Uh what happened Charlotte? Usually you would wake up before I did."

"Then why didn't you woke me up then? I wouldn't be late if you woke me up."

That's right! I was so focused on Laura earlier I didn't give a single hint that Charlotte was still in bed. But should I tell her about earlier?

"I um...you were sleeping peacefully so I didn't want to wake you up." I don't know why but that was the most pathetic excuse I have ever made, and it was my first too.

"You could have just woke me up anyways!"

"..."

Charlotte seems to be angry, her red face is somehow cute.

*DING—DONG-DANG-DONG*.

Hm, the bell for...CLASS!

"Oh crap, time for class!"

"Hurry up! Hurry up!"

"YOU GUYS ARE GOING? GOLEM HAS SOMETHING TO DO AT IS ARENA."

"Yeah, see ya later Golem-nee."

As I turned around, both Kanzashi and Charlotte disappeared in just a few seconds. Which reminds me, I'm gonna be late too.

Class 1-1

"SORRY I'M LATE!"

As I arrived at the door to the class, Orimura-sensei is the only one here right now aside from my classmates, and Charlotte and Kanzashi seems to be feeling down for some reason, but Charlotte is more down. Yamada-sensei is absent for some reason, and Orimura-sensei is the only teacher present right now.

"Ah Byaku Shiki, you're here. You are dismissed in this class for today."

"Ehh~~? Why?"

"I didn't get the chance to tell you, but I assigned you to help with the staffs and Golem to repair the arena. We are having ordinary lesson for today."

"Also, from next week onwards, it will be the special school trip practical lesson time. Everyone is reminded not to forget your items. We will be leaving school for 3 days, so remember not to play too much during your free time."

Special school trip, that's the first time I've heard of it. I wonder what are we doing while we're out of school?

"Then, that'll be the end of SHR. Everyone's to study seriously today."

"Excuse me, Orimura-sensei. Is Yamada-sensei on leave?"

The good student in class, Tagatsuki Shizune-san raised an obvious question.

"Yamada-sensei went ahead to check the place for our field trip, so she won't be here today. Thus, I'm taking over Yamada-sensei's duties for today."

"Huuh, Yama-chan went to the seaside already? That's so cool~!"

"That's sneaky! She should have brought me along!"

"Ah-is she swimming? She must be swimming-!"

Orimura-sensei found it somehow irritating since she continued on.

"Ahh, stop making a big commotion out of everything, it's irritating! Yamada-sensei went to work, not to play!"

Yes- the girls in class answered in unison. Such amazing teamwork.

"Why are you still here Byaku Shiki? You're suppose to the at the IS arena by now."

"Ah, sorry but what am I suppose to do there?"

"Aside from helping with the repairs, you might want to deal with Diablos while you're at it."

"Eeehhh~?!"

"Don't just stand there, go already!"

"Yes, Orimura-sensei!" And just like that, I left the classroom and proceed to my next destination in a hurry.

"AND DON'T RUN ON THE HALLS!"

Er...

Arena

"Ah Byaku Shiki you're here." One of the repair crew called out my named as I arrived at the arena.

"Can you help us by reaching to that section of the arena to fix it? Golem has other section to fix with."

I checked the area of where I'm suppose to go and I guess the damage is somehow hits a small area and it is quite severe. If Golem-nee would take this section, she would destroyed and enlarged the cavity of the damage with her gigantic fist.

It took a while but I somehow repair the cavity, and I report back to the repair team.

"The section's cavity is repaired."

"Oh good, would you mind taking care of Diablos for us, Golem is already there but she needs your help."

"Will do!"

As I my next destination, Golem-nee was there and obviously Diablos also.

"Golem-nee!"

"BYAKU-CHAN, YOU GO HELP GOLEM?"

Diablos lower it's head,looking at us with it's eyes sign of wary. But it's not attacking right now, so it is considered safe, for now. If Diablos would start another rampage, it will be disastrous.

"Yeah, so why are we keeping watch on Diablos?"

"PREVENT DIABLOS FROM BERSERK AGAINST REPAIR TEAM!"

Growl~~~~~!

It's growling, it's making me worried. It seems to be wary of us ever since we've got here, which is around 5 minutes.

"Um...we don't want to fight."

"..."

Growl~~!

Diablos lift it's head back up and randomly taking a stroll around the arena. I think it understands us, or probably not. But at least it's not causing any rampage.

We continued keeping an eye for Diablos and we already see the sunset, which means it's already passed afternoon. I really need to take a break, and speaking of break Diablos is resting in the arena and the repair staff are done for today.

"Hey Golem-nee, I think we're done for today."

"GOLEM THINK SO. GOLEM WANT TO REST!"

"Shh~~! You'll wake up Diablos."

"GOLEM SORRY..."

Me and Golem-nee ended up going to the cafeteria and get something to eat. I didn't eat anything when keeping an eye for Diablos all day. After finding a table for us to enjoy our dinner, a certain twin tailed girl appeared in front of us.

"Hey Byaku Shiki, I heard you were to keep watch Diablos this morning till late afternoon." Rin was in front of us.

"Yeah, and it went well. Diablos didn't caused any mayhem."

"Oh yeah, do you have anything to do tomorrow? Because I'm going shopping for new swimsuit tomorrow."

"ALREADY SWIMSUIT IN IS ACADEMY, WHY BUY?"

"The swimsuits here are plain. I want something different."

"Oh, me and Golem-nee already have plans with Kanzashi. We're going to buy swimsuits as well."

"Wait, you're going to buy swimsuits too? No worries, I'll come along tomorrow."

"Really?"

"Sure, think of it as a favor to Byaku Usagi."

Rin sits on our table with ramen on her tray. I think she ordered ramen occasionally, I don't know why. As we dine into our meal, I heard conversation that is nearby our table, and on that table were Charles and Charlotte.

Whenever I saw those two together, I always think of them as siblings because of their similar looks. That is at least what human common senses said. The three of us overheard their conversation as we eat our dinner.

"Um...Charles?"

"...Yeah Charlotte?"

"Um..if you're free tomorrow, could you accompany me shopping for new swimsuits?"

"Um...I'm not really familiar the area outside the IS academy, but I did asked Shinonono-san to accompany me to go with me to go shopping earlier since she knows the area."

"Um..."

"Besides, I might want to buy something on the way, if they have it."

"Um,,,Charles?"

"Yes...?"

"...Never mind it's nothing."

"..."

Hm, Charles and Charlotte somehow planned to go shopping as well tomorrow with Houki, probably the same destination as ours.

"Hm..those two, are they really siblings? Because at just one look they look like one." Rin said as she devour her ramen.

Charles stood up and left the table, leaving Charlotte alone in the table.

"Well, I'll see you later, good night."

"Good night..." Charlotte let out a yawn, stood up and somehow saw me and approached us on the table.

"...Byaku Shiki, how's the 'work' Orimura-sensei assigned you to?"

"It went well, Diablos didn't do much, which was quite a relief."

"...I see. I'll be going now." Charlotte let out another yawn and tiredly went back into our room.

Charlotte

…...

…..

….

These people...

They are very kind...

They are very nice people...

I have a quite an enjoyable time with them, even though I don't know them very well. I don't remembered being treated so kindly, ever since mother died. After my mother died few years ago, I was taken by that man who is called my father Raphael Dunois.

That man, he took my freedom away, just like a bird stuck in a cage. I was treated badly by my other newly met relatives back then, although it wasn't that severe.

I remembered the look on his face when France was omitted from the European Union's 'Ignition Plan', it was filled with rage. After seeing his face, it makes me assume that he wanted to protect France or preventing France from being left behind.

My father had tried to developed a 3rd generation IS, but it was a futile effort due to low capital and funding to develop one. It was that moment that Dunois Corporation was facing a crisis. Even though the Dunois Corporation was the third largest mass produced IS company, the corporation didn't have a 3rd generation IS while the other European countries have.

I was somehow become an IS pilot due to I have a high IS aptitude and the corporation made an unofficial pilot test. And from there I became the cadet representative of France. I was sent to the IS Academy by my father for one reason...

[Byaku Shiki]

Father somehow got this information on [Byaku Shiki] from an informant in the company as they were searching for developing a 3rd generation IS.

According to the students here in the IS academy, [Byaku Shiki] is a 4th generation IS. Which is more of a reason to become curious and wanted to find out about her.

And [Byaku Shiki] herself is an IS, not a human. It is said that IS must not be treated just a machine but companions, but this is really setting out the definition to a whole new level. And although it is hard to generalize, the IS seems to possess human like forms because Byaku Shiki and Golem are the only proof to that in the IS academy.

In other words, I'm here to steal Byaku Shiki's data, and sent it to the Dunois corporation. But there's someone who made me feel uncertain about my reason for being here, Charles...

His name is Charles Sorel, the first male to ever piloted an IS, and he receives a 3rd generation IS strangely enough from France, my home country. And he seems to be a cadet representative as well.

Speaking of which, even though the ISes are different in a way, especially the personalities as I observe the behaviors both Byaku Shiki and Golem, all of them have one thing in common, a man different than any other, the White Rabbit.

The White Rabbit was revealed in public in China, but he was apparently came from Japan. The White Rabbit possess some unique weapons and ability, which transforms IS into human like beings. And other IS obeyed him completely and being referred as 'big brother'.

He is currently known as the most powerful IS or man, because of his skill and ability, and researchers and scientists referred him as the 'Holy Grail of the IS' due to his ability. His skills are matched to the first generation Brunhilde Chifuyu Orimura, and had been rumored to be directly connected with Tabane Shinonono, the one who created the IS. And from some other rumors, Charles have met both the White Rabbit and Tabane herself during a pilot test.

Somehow, more IS are created and it seems to take in a new form. [Diablos] is one example, it doesn't seem to be piloted as there was no cockpit anywhere. And it is very big for an IS, probably the biggest so far, so whoever made it must have been rather strange.

It doesn't matter now, I have plenty of time to take action. But I do felt a sense of guilt if I do this. And now, I not even sure if I would continue this any further.

I lay on my bed closed my eyes and slowly drifts asleep...

Laura

I am having a problem here, Byaku Shiki does not accept me as her husband. And Instructor just gave her a lesson on relationships yesterday and makes things a lot more complicated. I thought I had known on how to do it.

That being said, how is Byaku Shiki related to Instructor while Instructor keeps denying it? And how is she related to the White Rabbit?

The White Rabbit, it is rather interesting, he was revealed months ago after a certain rampage incident, and somehow related to Instructor as well, probably closer to mine.

And he possesses an amazing ability, which turns IS into a human like being, as I saw my IS [Schwarzer Regen] looking injured from the fight against [Diablos].

If Instructor and White Rabbit would work together, they will be a powerful duo. At least that's what I think, if Instructor didn't retire as an IS pilot, then those two will be more than a match against other IS pilots.

Speaking of which, why did Instructor retire as an IS pilot?

But never mind about that, the White Rabbit is a certainly by far the most powerful weapon by far and it is unknown to whether what side he represent. He is notorious for having a cybernetic mechanical like rabbit head, hence the name, and it is speculated that he is connected under the genius herself. No one knows who he is under the helmet, and that leads to a debate on who he really is.

Now that I think about it, all IS are related to the White Rabbit, so if I would somehow successfully take Byaku Shiki as my wife, I would be the White Rabbit's relative-in-law. Now that is a rather interesting turning point.

Phantom Task

In this underground organization, the Phantom task is infamous for it's unknown purpose and they are the arch enemy of another underground organization, the Sarashiki group.

It has been three years since the failure of the kidnapping of Sarashiki Kanzashi. And the two members who piloted the IS during the operation were given severe sentences to the two members through solitary confinement, although it is not for the case in this organization, according to Setsuka's rule. The two members were stayed to a room so small, that they don't have a room for each other. They were given stale meals twice per day, and they were forced to share one bathroom, which is just a pot for them to use. They were treated as prisoners for one whole month, and after they finished their sentence, they would be demoted from their current position under Setsuka's command. Although there were some other effects, after spending time in a small room, they have become claustrophobic and somehow gained a wonderful relationship at the same time.

It's wonderful to see that I'm forcing a lesbian relationship under my power.

Setsuka might called it a forced relationship but others said otherwise. Nonetheless any member who goes through this sentence and survives with another member somehow developed a relationship with each other and Setsuka actually fantasized this and would abuse to such relationship, especially others.

Right now, the second-in-command Squall Meusel gave an announcement to the other members.

"Attention all members, just a reminder that in the next two days will be 'that' day of the year so let's prepare for the event! I repeat, in the next two days will be 'that' day!"

The members who are doing their own tasks are now bustling with activity. This occasion has been happening ever since three years ago, where they find out they had killed a certain young man during Kanzashi's kidnapping. In this case, it is an anniversary to that event where Ichika went missing after they've learned that he was involved in their operation and survived.

For the members of the Phantom Task, it is a very important event as this event was organized by Setsuka herself. If this event were to conduct poorly, all the members including the higher ups will face Setsuka's wrath.

For Setsuka, it is a very important event because it is an event commemorate her missing uncle, Orimura Ichika. It is clearly obvious that Orimura Ichika and Orimura Setsuka are related.

When she found out that her uncle had been involved in the operation three years ago, she was devastated thus punishing the two members for getting him killed. Of course, she knows that her uncle survived, but she can't help but cry for her missing uncle.

Now at the age of fifteen, and leading the Phantom Task, thanks to the previous leader, her mother, which gave her the tricks of the trade. Setsuka is set to find her missing uncle and reshape the world to her will.

'Uncle...I will find you...and when that happens...'

A gentle playful smile showed on her face.

'Fufufufu~~'

Well I have to stop now I'm afraid. The Phantom Task leader Setsuka has been revealed as Ichika's nephew, Charlotte is being reluctant to complete her mission of stealing Byaku Shiki's data due to the changes of the situation and Laura is having trouble getting Byaku Shiki to accept herself to be her wife.

Next chapter will be a chaos because it involves Phantom Task, Sarashiki Group, Ichika, Byaku Shiki, Charles and the girls of the IS academy under one location. So it might resulted into conflict in which involves the mentioned characters.

Right now, I have school to deal with and tests to boot so I might delay any update. Until then, hope you enjoy this chapter.
