Prologue
In some unknown dark place you can see a blond floating. At that moment a voice resounded in the place.
"It seems that your body assimilated the sephira, I finally found you, Naruto-Kun, don't worry, everything will be fine, I reduced that place to rubble in space."
Change of scene
In a big city where people walked peacefully.
But we have to focus on two people who were walking through those streets.
"Come on, Onee-chan
A high school girl with red eyes and long, light red hair, which is tied on both sides with ribbons, in two pigtails said as she stepped ahead of the person who was accompanying her.
"Wait Kotori, don't go so fast"
A high school girl with long blue hair and a clip with flower ornaments in her hair would speak.
That girl was Shiori Itsuka and the other girl was her younger sister, Kotori ltsuka
"Hurry up Onee-chan, I want to get home and eat something," said the redhead as she tugged at her uniform as she advanced.
"We can buy a pizza or a ramen," said the blue hair.
But at that moment.
-Alert, space earthquake-
Shiori's eyes widened and he stood there motionless, the city had been prepared for this kind of situation since the first space earthquake happened.
Thirty years ago, for that reason, there were sometimes drills for situations like these.
But it was one thing to simulate and another completely different to actually experience it.
People would begin to evacuate.
-iKotori!-
Shiori shouted for her sister in the crowd, when everyone had already evacuated.
She would start looking for her sister in desperation. But at that moment something happened.
A large explosion happened at the scene. The girl covered herself by the flash.
When it was discipled, a strange silhouette could be seen in a large crater.
He had a kind of orange fire in addition to having a strange spheres floating on his back and in his right hand a sword.
The girl would be impressed by the silhouette, she had no idea what or who it was.
Shiori took two steps back instinctively.
The unknown entity would turn to see her. Shiori was stunned to see his eyes.
The right was a red one with a strange shape and the left was purple with concentric circles around it and some blades.
They would just stare at each other.
But at that moment several missiles were heading towards them.
The black spheres on his back were transformed into shields thus protecting the boy.
Shiori watched as several girls in armor began to attack the boy. But at that moment missiles were accidentally heading towards her. She just closed her eyes.
She didn't feel anything and only saw the back of that boy but at that moment she was unconscious.
Change of scene.
Haa!
Shiori came to.
And he let out a loud scream.
Well, of course. After all, a woman he didn't recognize was holding her eyelids open with her fingers, while shining light on her eyes.
eyes with what appeared to be a small flashlight.
-Woke up-
The woman with a strangely numb face said, in an indifferent and spaced out voice.
He seems to have been checking the unconscious Shiori's eye movements, so his face was unusually close. Shiori could smell a faint fragrance, probably the smell of her shampoo.
"Who are you?" the girl asked in an agitated voice.
-Mmm-
The woman, still in a distracted state, lifted her body, making her bangs to
one side in a boring way.
As a certain amount of distance was placed between them, it became possible to see the
Full view of the woman.
He was wearing what looked like a military uniform, and he was in his mid-20s. Your hair
Messy, eyes decorated with thick dark circles, and the scarred fox-shaped teddy bear whose face peeked out of the pocket of his military uniform for some reason, were his special characteristics.
"I'm the Analysis Officer here, Murasame Reine."
"Unfortunately the Medical Officer is not there, but don't worry. Although I don't have a license, I can at least handle some simple care-
He couldn't help but worry.
Because this woman named Reine obviously looked less healthy.
In fact, from before, as if drawing a small circle with his head, his
body had been rocking unsteadily.
Shiori, now with her torso raised, remembered what Reine had just said.
-Here? -
He asked, looking around.
Shiori had been sleeping on a simple tube bed. Around him was a white curtain that acted as a separation. It was a space like a school infirmary.
However, the ceiling was a little out of place. Some smooth tubes and wires were visible.
"Where is it, here...?" -
"This is the medical office of Fraxinus." You were unconscious so we brought you here-
"Fraxinus"? And I was unconscious ah-
It's true, Shiori had been dragged into the battle between that mysterious boy and
women in robotic suits, and he had become unconscious.
-Can I ask some questions? Too many things happened that I don't understand," Shiori said while scratching her head.
However, Reine did not respond, silently walking away from Shiori.
-Follow me. There's someone I want to introduce you to I know you have a lot of questions, but I'm bad at explaining. If you want any details, you should ask that person."
Saying this, he opened the curtains. Outside the curtains there was a little space
bigger. There were about six beds lined up, and at the back of the room were some unknown medical tools.
Reine turned toward what appeared to be the entrance to the room, and staggered
towards her.
He stumbled immediately, and with a bang, he hit his head against the wall.
"Are you okay?" -
He hadn't fallen. Reine was leaning against the wall.
-Ahh, I'm sorry. Recently I haven't been getting enough sleep-
"How long has it been since you last slept?" Shiori asked, and Reine, after thinking for a bit, held up three fingers.
-Three days. Then of course you'd be sleepy-
"Maybe thirty years old?"
Shiori's eyes widened when she heard that.
-Oh. Ahh, sorry, it's time for my medicine-
Reine suddenly reached into his pockets, and took out a box of pills.
Then he opened the box, and poured the pills into his mouth as if he were drinking them.
-Hey!-
Without any doubt, the large number of pills in Reine's mouth were chewed and swallowed.
-What's the matter, you're noisy-
-How many did you eat?! And anyway, what medicine was that!? -
-They were all sleeping pills-
-Die! That's not a good joke—
-But they are not very effective anyway-
"What kind of body do you have?!" -
"Anyway, here, follow me"
Reine returned the empty box to his pocket, and once again began to walk with
dangerous steps, opening the door of the medical office.
Shiori hurriedly put on her shoes, and left the room in chase.
-What is this...
Outside the room, there was a construction similar to a narrow hallway.
The pale-colored mechanical-style walls and floors for some reason made
to remind Shiori of the inside of a warship that appeared in a
space opera or the corridors of a submarine from a movie.
"What am I doing?" -
Shiori, no longer knowing what it was, began to move her feet slowly.
Relying only on Reine's back, which was staggering with unsteady steps,
In the hallway, which was like a movie set, his footsteps echoed. After walking for some time.
-It's here-
At the end of the road, in front of a door with a small electronic panel at a
On his side, Reine stopped and said that.
In the next moment, the electronic panel made a slight beep, and the door opened smoothly.
"Here, come in please" Reine entered Shiori followed her.
-This is-
He noticed the scene on the other side of the door.
To explain it in a single sentence, it was a place like the bridge of a ship.
In front of the door Shiori passed through, the floor spread out in half an oval, and placed in its center, was a chair that seemed to be the captain's seat.
Also, after the gently sloping stairs on its sides that led to a lower level, crew members could be seen operating
consoles that seemed complex. It was dark overall, and the monitors scattered here and there emitted a light that unpleasantly affirmed their presence.
-I brought her-
Reine shook her head sleepily as she spoke.
-Good job-
The tall boy standing next to the captain's seat bowed little
like a butler. He had wavy hair and a nose that didn't look like
Japanese. He was a young man with an appearance that could appear in novels
-Hello. I am the Vice Commander here, Kannazuki Kyouhei. Nice to meet you-
-O-Ok...
While scratching her cheek, Shiori tilted her head slightly.
For a moment, Shiori had thought that Reine was talking to this boy.
However, he was wrong.
"Commander, Analysis Officer Murasame has returned."
Kannazuki declared, and from the captain's seat with his back to them,
A growl was heard, as it slowly turned. And then...
"I welcome you." Welcome, to "Ratatoskr"-
The voice of the one who was called "commander" sounded somewhat charming, while the figure of the young woman wearing the crimson military uniform on her shoulders fully appeared.
Her hair was tied by two huge black ribbons. He had a small build, round eyes like acorns, and in his mouth a Chupa Chups.
Shiori frowned. After all, no matter how you look at it.
-Kotori?-
That's right, regardless of whether you are guided by the looks, or the voice, or the aura around her, although there are several differences, that girl was undoubtedly Shiori's cute younger sister, Itsuka Kotori.
