Hundred - Volume 2

– Hayato, Hayato…

A voice reaches his ears, making him regain his consciousness from sleep.

At the same time, he felt a soft weight that is warm on his body.

– Again, doing as you please, Emilia!

– Kyaah!?

Raising up his body with a jump, a small scream came up.

That voice doesn’t belong to Emilia…

– Eh…?

Reflected in his eyes is the figure of Kirishima Sakura who was staring in wonder, possibly surprised, on the bed.

Exposing her shoulders in the same way she did when she met Hayato for the first time, she’s wearing lovely clothes with frills on the skirt.

– Why is Sakura here…?

Hayato said while rubbing his eyes.

There’s no doubt that this place is in the military section of Little Garden, and that this is his room of the male dorm, and yet, Kirishima Sakura is in front of his eyes….

– Maybe I’m in a dream?

He’s pinching his cheek.

– … ouch.

Looking that figure, Sakura breathed with a sigh, as if she was exasperated.

– What are you doing, geez…

– Because it’s strange that Kirishima Sakura is here in Little Garden.

Moreover, it isn’t currently docking in the island, shore nor anywhere.

Little Garden left the dock from the Zwei Islands already and is cruising in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

– For your information, it’s not weird at all. Because I’m Oriental Wizard Kirishima Sakura, the woman who makes the impossible possible ♪.

Saying it cutely, Sakura puffed up with pride.

– That means you came to Little Garden without permission, isn’t it?

– …*shock*!

–  I hit the mark, right?

Saying that, Hayato stares at Sakura.

– Y-you know that you can’t land in Little Garden without permission. I sent a message wirelessly to the air traffic controller. I said “if you let me land, I’ll give your younger sister an autograph”….

– Is it fine for the ATC of this ship to…

Nonetheless, precisely because Hayato is weak to her sister, he understands the feelings of that person.

– … err, wait a moment. You don’t have permission from Souffle-san nor the President, hmm? Then how did you get in this room——

– Grantz-san opened for me.

– Fritz? How, the key of me room…?

And when he was saying that, he remembered that the security key of this room is the same data that he made.

(I have to change it soon, I haven’t had privacy at all…)

Hayato sighs deeply.

– Other than that, Hayato, who’s that Emilia?

– Huh…?

– You were saying “Emilia” just now. So, I guess that’s the name of a girl but…

Being told that, Hayato spies out his memories.

Certainly, he feels that he put out that name.

(Hmm, what to do…?)

Of course, he can’t talk about Emile Crossford, alias Emilia Hermit.

– It’s the name of the girl who was living with me at the institution. Like Sakura was doing a while ago, she frequently woke me up by getting on top of me.

– … that’s not a lie?

Although he was trying to mislead her while smiling. Sakura turns a doubtful look at him.

– It’s true!

Hayato asserted and continued.

– I answered the question of Sakura, so I’ll ask questions to Sakura this time. The first is, why is that you came to Little Garden?

– Hayato, it seems you are dodging the subject.

– Never mind that and answer.

– … I came to see Hayato. That’s the reason why I came to Little Garden.

Sakura answers, though she doesn’t appear to be convinced.

– To me, you say…?

*BA-THUMP*, his heart beat fast.

– You just came expressly here to see me?

– Yeah, that’s right. Until yesterday, I had to shut myself in the studio of Liberia, and when I finally finished work, I called the pilot of the private jet and requested to ask Little Garden. There’s a gift for Hayato too.

– … a gift?

– Yup, where’s the PDA of Hayato?

– While saying so, Sakura takes out her PDA from her pocket.

– It’s there but…

When looking at the PDA connected to the electrical power connector on the headboard of the bed, Sakura crawled over the bed and handed it to Hayato.

– Then, I’ll send you a data now.

Saying that, she starts to operate her PDA.

– And… it’s done. When the reception screen opens, insert a four-digit authentication code. The number is 『9312』.

Immediately, 『Data received from Sakura-san』is displayed on the terminal screen.

This is the reception screen.

There was also a numeric entry form in it.

– 『9312』and…

When he enters the numbers with the software keyboard displayed on the screen exactly as he was said, the reception of the file starts.

And 10 seconds later.

*PIRORIN**, a sound sounds, and the screen displayed the letters『Transfer completed』and the OK button was displayed.

*TN: I’m pretty sure that this SFX doesn’t have a translation.

– That’s my gift. Open it.

– This is…

When he pushed the OK button, a picture of Sakura appeared on the display, his facial expression was tinged with anxiety.

The background is from the hills of Zwei Island.

– That’s the thumbnail image of my new song.

– Wow!

When Hayato noticed that Sakura, who was moving her body on his bed, and approached her face from the side and looked into the PDA, he was surprised by that that he took distance trying to jump up.

– … what’s with that reaction?

– Well, I was surprised because the distance was close…

– Hurry up and touch the thumbnail with your finger.

He touches it with his fingertip as he was told.

– No way… lewd Hayato…

– Wh-why is that…?

Hayato is confused, being glared at with scornful eyes.

– You just touched my boobs.

– No, Sakura told me to touch it, isn’t it!?

– But I haven’t told you to touch my boobs. You did it because you wanted it…*

– No, not at all!

– If you want to touch them, then do it directly.

Sakura pouted her lips.

– No, because a thing like that, hmm…

A melody slowly starts to play from the PDA, and the singing voice of Sakura can be heard.

That song sounded familiar to Hayato.

– This…

– That’s the song I sang at the encore. It was just recorded last week, having a fresh mix just completed yesterday. I wanted this to be listened by Hayato as soon as possible, so I’ve done this.

– Still, you could’ve done this with an e-mail…

– But I said that I wanted to see Hayato, isn’t it!? More than that, listen to the song calmly. At that time, it had only one chorus, but this time it’s a full song. I wrote the lyrics and put my body and soul into it.

Hayato, for a second time, listens to the music without moving.

– After a short time, Sakura opened her mouth.

– …during the live, I said that I created this song inspired by the Slayers who protected us, but I really created it when thinking about Hayato, I wanted you to understand that.

There’s no way he could say that he didn’t understand her.

He remembers being told that it was a gift for him clearly in the dressing room before the live.

Furthermore, unlike the most, the second lyric is a clear love song towards a man.

While noticing it, Hayato’s chest was astir.

– Say, Hayato…. Since I got separated from Hayato, I continued flying around the world thanks to work. During that time, every minute of every day, I was always thinking about Hayato. Holding and settling the PDA on the bed, Sakura approaches him again and looks up at his face.

– Hey, not too close…

– Nope.

Hayato’s suggestion was discarded with a single word, and Sakura continued.

– When I first asked Hayato to get married, I wasn’t serious enough. But now I’m serious. I’m an Idol of everyone, but I think it’s nice to become me when I’m only with Hayato, on private. I want to give the half of me to Hayato.

– Well, that’s a good joke but…

– I’m not joking. I’ll show you the proof.

Sakura said that with a serious expression and pushed the body of Hayato onto the bed as he was.

– Uwaa!?

Hayato screamed and fell to the bed.

It’s in a state where Sakura is on top of him.

– Hayato, this is my seriousness.

The distance between their lips approaches until is 5 centimeters.

And then, the door of the room is suddenly opened.

– So this is where you are, trespasser! Wha, what are you guys doing…!?

Who came into the room was Claire Harvey, the president of Little Garden.

Speaking of which, he remembers this kind of thing happened before.

The situation that this has become resembled the one with Emilia.

– Why is the President in my room with such a timing…?

– Kyaah!?

Hayato stands up with enough momentum to shake off Sakura who’s on top of his body and asks Claire.

– It’s because I received a message from Souffle Clearrail that Kirishima Sakura could have headed to Little Garden desuwa!

Resolutely saying so, Claire pointed with her right index finger to Sakura.

– Kirishima Sakura, even if you are a client of Warslan Company, your selfish invasion into Little Garden is a felony desu. I will have to restrain you immediately masuwa.

– No, it’s not illegal. I got permission from the administration department properly.

– After all, I’m sure you inveigled them by giving them an autograph, yes?

– WHA, how did you know that!?

– I can imagine you doing that masu. Whatever, if you don’t get my approval, then it’s illegal. I will be getting you out and away masuwayo.

– If that’s the case, Claire Harvey. Make me a student of the martial arts department.

– … what?

Naturally, Claire showed a taken aback-like expression on her face.

– Didn’t you hear me, Claire Harvey? Incorporate me into the martial arts department of Little Garden. I have already got permission from Warslan HQ and I have submitted the necessary documents. Only thing that remains is your signature.

– Wait a moment, why are you going with this masunoyo!?

– So I can stay here without problems, don’t you think? And this won’t be trespassing as well.

– Even though you are a Slayer, you can’t generate things like weapons in the first place, am I correct? That’s why I can’t permit it as well as to take the examination for the martial arts department masenwayo.

– But, “my voice” has some kind of effect to the Savage, isn’t it? And I think it’s like a very effective weapon.

– Kuh…

She assessed that perhaps she was completely right.

Claire warps her facial expression in frustration.

– Besides, although I’m a student, I know that there are some students in the martial arts department who have already worked internships on site. Then, I can continue my singer activities and I believe that if I spend my vacation in Little Garden, then the guard labor of Warslan will be reduced, right? And if that doesn’t work, then please make Hayato my exclusive bodyguard.

– What are you talking about? Kisaragi Hayato is still a first-year student. Intern starts from third year and he has plenty of things to learn here yet masuwa! Therefore, I won’t allow it masen. That also goes for your admission desuwa!

– It can’t be helped. If that’s the case, then have Hayato quit the martial arts department and have him become my exclusive bodyguard.

– Why am I going to do that!?

– Why would I do that desuka!?

Hayato and Claire’s voice overlapped.

– Why you say? So I can hire Hayato directly. I’ll pay 10 times more salary than Warslan. On the contrary, I’ll take care of him for the rest of our lives. What do you think, Hayato?

– Even if you tell me what do I think…

Although he’s not worried about money, because of the treatment of his little sister, there’s the thing with Emilia, and he feels that he wants to save a lot of people by fighting the Savage with his own abilities.

Because of that, Hayato was about to attempt to refuse that.

When the door of the room opened again.

– Huh? Why is the Prez here….? Moreover Hayato, what’s with that appearance…?

Emile glares at Hayato with half-opened eyes.

At any rate, Hayato who was getting up as he is, with an appearance of no more than undershirt and underpants, it was expected for him to be like that since Claire and Sakura, who originally shouldn’t be here, are in the room.

– I- I was chasing after Kirishima Sakura who trespassed into Little Garden and crept in the room of Kisaragi Hayato——ah…

Saying that much, Claire noticed something.

– More importantly, why do you have the key of this room…? Huh? You haven’t rewritten the data yet masennone!?

– Ah, you got me.

Ahaha, Emile laughs.

– Emile crossford, you broke the promise masuwayo!

– Leaving that aside, the problem now is Kirishima-san. Hayato, since you are like that, what kind of things did you do with Kirishima-san?

– No, there’s profound reason for this…

– Yeah, the reason is a secret, it’s something between Hayato and me, and you are not allo〜wed to know it.

Saying so, Sakura came back to the bed and stuck to the body of Hayato perfectly.

– Hey, stop it! This kind of situation it’s not a laughing matter, you know!?

– Hee, a secret, huh… So, I wonder if you could tell me too. I’m very interested…

Emile’s words were without intonation.

It looks like she’s doing that to suppress her anger.

Hayato’s back muscles shivers with cold, because of the eerie fear contained in those words.

– Because it’s a secret, it’s a secret. Right, Hayato?

Sakura laughs with an *Ehe*, gluing her body even more.

Because of that, the facial expression of Emile stiffened more and more.

– Ahaha, I see….. Yeah, Hayato. We are men of the same age. So, I really want to get into the secret of girls. Then, for the sake of reference for the future, let me listen to it with full details… aha, aha, hahahaha…

Emile who has a right about-face while saying so, tries to go out and away from the room.

If she stayed here any longer, she judged that she couldn’t bear that she’s a woman.

A hardened smile was sticking to her face.

Thereupon, Claire opened her mouth.

– Anyway Kirishima Sakura, hurry up and get away from Kisaragi Hayato!

Claire, who approached Sakura, pulled her clothes and tried to separate her from Hayato.

– Wait, what are you doing!

– What, you say? In the first place, this dorm is the male dorm desuwayo. In other words, no female admission. That’s why hurry up and get out masuwayo!

– Yeah, that’s right. It’s no good for women to enter this dorm!

Emile suddenly turns around her body towards Claire and Sakura.

– So Prez, quickly leave this men’s dorm together with that woman. If the two of you keep fighting over this, there would be strange rumors about Hayato and it will be difficult for him to keep living in Little Garden.

– How dare you to set yourself aside from this situation…!

– What’s that about my situation?

*FUFUN*, Emile behaves like a spoiled child.

It seems that Claire is trying to say that she’s a woman in front of Sakura, but in this situation, she doesn’t know who’s going to step on a land mine.

With that much, Hayato proposes while his cheeks have a cramp.

– Umm, for the time being, why don’t all of you leave from my room?

– No way!

– Nope.

– No desuwa!

The voices of the three people gathered.

– Listen up you guys, all of you, leave!

Early afternoon of Sunday.

A little more than a month after leaving the Zwei Islands, Little Garden was sailing over the Pacific Ocean near Mauna Kea Island, located 20 degrees north and 155 degrees west, and that is part of the Liberian territory.

There are no clouds in the sky, it’s blue and clear.

Most of the students and residents of such a day will be enjoying it doing shopping, doing exercise as the sweat floats on their foreheads, etcetera, while receiving the sunshine that shines and dazzles from above their heads.

However, the captain, the queen, Claire Harvey, was walking in a narrow corridor having only a width of about one person, that relies on small lightning installed near underfoot.

What she finally reached and that is in front of her was a tightly closed thick door, where a plate is place on it and has《STAFF ONLY, DO NOT ENTER》KEEP OUT written on it.

When she put the PDA on the scanner device installed near her, the numbers from 0 to 9, the OK button——and the ELASE button are suspended.

Without hesitation, Claire hit a ten-digit code with her fingertips and pressed the OK button.

The letters 『Authentication OK』appear on the display of the scanner device, and the doors opens…

The dark room that spreads in front of her is the same as the hallway.

Still, it seems that it has a circular hole-like shape in the center, there are many cables coming out from the wall that are connected to a large cylindrical shape similar to a capsule filled with something like a fluorescent shining water.

Inside of it, the figure of a girl similar to an elementary school student that held her knees can be seen.

Blonde hair and white skin——a girl whose characteristics resembled Claire.

– Liza…

Claire put her hand on the capsule, shut her eyes, and called for the girl who doesn’t move. Then the walls and ceiling of the room shone gently red, but Claire didn’t show surprise.

She continued staring her with lovely eyes, and yet, like clinging to the capsule.

Then, the opening sound of the door resounded.

– ——who is it!?

Claire turned back and instantly removed the safety device of the gun——《N Tranquilizer》that pulled out from her chest, and putting the finger on the trigger, she pointed towards the door.

– I’m sorry for getting in the way of the private moment of the sisters.

As she said so, Claire lowers the muzzle, looking at the figure of a white coat that held a candy with a stick in her mouth, raising her hands wholeheartedly.

– Charlotte Dimandius, what are you doing here——

– I was looking for you. I wanted to tell you a secret. Just the two of us——no, let’s have a talk, the three of us, okay?
