4 Chapter 1 part 2

'Uwaa, I'm really going to be transferred here!'

"Ye, yes. There is no mistake."

"Welcome to Ataraxia! May luck be with you."

After he passed the inspection and went through the gate, he was met with the grounds of Ataraxia.

"Heee... I thought it's going to feel savage because this place is combined with military facility, but the townscape is really beautiful and stylish instead."

Small type electric automobiles were coming and going through the main street and students and residents were walking through the road. Digital synergies floating in the air were lining up along the sidewalk. Advertisements of products and news and the like were projected on them. These things would supposedly also get used in an emergency for urgent information and evacuation instructions.

At both sides of the sidewalk, shopping malls and cafés, brand shops, etc, various shops were standing in a row. Ataraxia fundamentally had a boarding system where all students live in dormitories, houses were also prepared for the personnel and researcher here. There was also the inspection that was performed every single time someone entered and exited, and so there was a demand for the inside of the float to provide all the necessities for living.

In order to answer that demand, all kinds of shop, medical institution, and various recreational facilities were established inside Ataraxia. Everything in here was built under the hands of first class architects, so the design here became avant-garde and futuristic.

"Hee, even chain convenient stores have cool appearances here."

When he got attracted by the coolness and tried to enter, inside the store was flourishing with Ataraxia's students. Everyone was talking with their friends while happily choosing lunch or snacks.

'I wonder if right now is lunch break? Or the convenient store also doubles as the school canteen?'

There was also exciting things like cup ramen or snacks limited for Ataraxia, but he would surely have many chances to buy them in the future.

He had arrived here after much trouble, so maybe he should try looking around at other stores too? His stomach was also a little hungry.

However, whether it was café, fast food, or gyudon shop, everywhere was packed with people. Furthermore, ninety percent of the customers were wearing Ataraxia's uniform. (TN: Gyudon – Japanese food that is a rice covered in meat and vegetable.)

'How awesome. It's like most of the place is the cafeteria for Ataraxia.'

Kizuna thought about the fierce battle for lunch that he would have to go through starting from tomorrow.

And then while he was walking around like that, he became increasingly fond of Ataraxia.

If the facility was the best, then the shop employees were also polite and kind.

The students were also the same, looking at him who was wandering around with casual clothes, they asked him where did he come from, was something troubling him, was he looking for someone, he was being called by many people in concern.

Above all, everyone looked happy.

At the plaza of the shopping mall, there was an amateur band doing a launching concert, at the game center too there were also some guys playing games while holding bento in one hand.

In outline, this place should be a military facility, but... in reality this place was really full of freedom.

"Wait, this is bad-! I forgot to go to the command headquarters!"

Well, if he just walked through the appropriate streets, he would surely find a building that fits the bill, there must also be some guide board around. Even if not, everyone here was kind, so it would be fine if he just asked someone for directions.

Having an idea like that, he began to walk.

――But,

"I'm lost..."

Ataraxia was wider than he thought, he couldn't find the high school or the command headquarters anywhere. Furthermore, along with the end of the lunch break, there was no more students walking around outside.

"Or rather, where is this place?"

For some reason he was walking inside a forest.

"Why is there a forest and river inside an academy float..."

Even if he tried to go back, he already didn't understand which direction he should go to go back.

"Am I, going to get stranded on my first day going to school and die? It's already past the level of being idiotic like that."

Right when he was thinking that, he walked into an open space further inside the forest.

"I did it! I finally returned to the city!"

Happiness welled up inside him and he rushed ahead.

"...-!?"

When he got out of the forest, he found a sea there.

Kizuna stopped his run so suddenly that his body pitched forward.

The spot where he was at was the brink of the float. It was like a precipice cliff, the wall of the float's hull was continuing until far below.

The hull of the megafloat was gigantic. The height could even reach several dozen meters.

"I... I almost died."

But, there was something that attracted his attention even more than that.

A large type rapid fire cannon was set at the outer edge.

A girl was standing at the tip of that cannon.

Her back was facing him, her silver hair and her Ataraxia uniform were fluttering from the sea wind.

He was going to call out to her, but he hesitated.

If he called out carelessly, she might fall.

Cold sweat flowed down Kizuna's forehead.

'This place looked deserted. Shit, what kind of scene I'm finding here.'

Should he call for help?

Kizuna was going to step back, but he stepped on a branch lying under his feet.

The sound of the branch snapping made that girl turn to him.

"Ah..."

Kizuna's eyes were stolen by her appearance.

'Aah, she is not a human, she must be a CG character like the receptionist. If that's so, then it might be normal for her to stand so calmly in a dangerous place like that'...was what he thought.

He was thinking like that because he couldn't think that someone like her was a living human.

Long silver hair and red eyes.

Delicateness and beauty that was like precisely crafted porcelain, it was a girl that gave the impression of hardness and yet also brittleness. There was no way that this much conveniently beautiful human could exist.

Her height was normal, but her head was a little small compared to her body's tallness. She had slender proportions to the degree that it made him worry that she would break, but her breasts were so big in imbalance with her body.

Her skin was white and smooth as if it was highlighted and looked shining. Looking at her face from the side, he couldn't think of any other word to describe it other than a perfect beauty. Her red eyes that looked as if they were emitting light themselves were filled with sadness, it was as if her long eyelashes were hiding that sadness. That sorrowful gaze was directed at Kizuna.

Those red eyes were reflecting light in a sparkle.

Was she... crying?

But rather than that, a girl with a beauty this transcendent was looking at him. He was monopolizing this girl's gaze. Just that fact made him feel as if he was soaring in the sky.

Even the idols that made appearances on TV, if they were compared with the girl in front of his eyes, they were just like normal people.

This girl was like a different living being from somewhere, he could feel that difference in dimension from her.

That girl, was walking to his direction.

'Eh? Eehh-? A, a real thing?'

She lightly jumped, passing over the bumps, and moved back from the rapid fire cannon to Ataraxia.

Her glossy pink lips were moving.

"Who are you?"

'She talked!'

'Err, how should I reply? My, my name? Is it fine for me to introduce my name?'

The girl knitted her eyebrows and showed a face that was seriously glaring at him.

"I wonder if you don't have the intelligence to understand words? This is the first time I saw an animal like this..."

Just now she said something really mean to him!?

"No, I understand your words but... I'm Hida Kizuna. Since today I attend the high school here. You are, a student here right?"

"That's obvious isn't it? If I'm not a student then just what do you think I am, I wonder. Someone who purposefully ordered this uniform, slipped into this place of heavy security, and stared at the scenery in this kind of place?"

"No, you don't need to find fault in me like that..." (TN: Finding fault here in the raw is written with the kanji of 'raising foot'. Some kind of metaphor in Japan, but in English it means finding fault.)

"Finding fault? Just why in the world this me has to take the foot of someone like you? Rather it's a different story if you are the one that cries and begs to me, saying, 'please let me kiss your beautiful foot'."

"I'm not begging like that at all!"

"What a dishonest man."

What was with this girl? Even though her appearance was the most beautiful and cute he had ever seen, but he couldn't understand her strange thought process at all. Whether she had a bad mouth or a bad personality he didn't know.

"I am Chidorigafuchi Aine, a second year. It's fine if you want to worship me."

"What I'm talking about doesn't get through to you at all! Just how does it take this much just to hear your name."

"Rather, you should express your joy that you can hear the name of this me this easily. Now, dance the dance of joy, make this me enjoy the attraction."

This was hopeless. Her visual appearance was the greatest, but it seemed that not getting involved with this girl was for the best. He was thinking of asking her for directions, but like this his mind would be destroyed in return for the directions he asked for.

"Ah, well, I'll be going――"

At that time, a loud siren was resounding.

"Wh, what!?"

What kind of alarm was this? At the very least, it was certain that it was not the signal for the class starting.

Or else, was this a disaster drill?

"Evacuate to the shelter immediately."

Aine spoke to him with a serious expression.

"This is the air raid alarm."

Ai... air raid, alarm?

"Tha, that's impossible. Because, right now we are in the safe area of the Pacific Ocean you know? Those AU bunch should not have cruising range this far..."

The army of AU for some reason couldn't advance outside a certain range from the Entrance. That was why this megafloat was created.

"But, this should not be a false alarm. The enemy has appeared, that's a fact."

After saying that, Aine began to strip off her clothes.

"Wha, oi! What the hell are you doing!?"

After taking off her upper wear and hung it at the nearby tree, this time she unfastened the hook of her skirt. Like that she took off her skirt and hung it at the tree like her upper wear. Wearing a panty with amazing cut, when she turned her back to him, he could see almost half her butt bared naked to him. Furthermore, the fabric was digging into the crevice, so it made him fell into an illusion as if the fabric was not hiding anything.

"...You are still in a place like this?"

Her movements stopped from a little shock.

When he saw that her cheeks were a little red, it seemed that it was not like she was not embarrassed.

"I've told you already to go evacuate haven't I? You dullard."

"You yourself, just why did you suddenly begin to strip! What are you going to do if somebody sees you!?"

"The one looking here is only you. This molester."

While saying that, she unfastened the buttons of her white shirt.

"Turn away your eyes. If you do that then there will be no problem at all. I'm the victim who got peeped at one-sidedly, while you are the pervert who is one-sidedly peeping at me."

"You are the pervert who is showing all this to me one-sidedly!"

But certainly if he averted his eyes right now then all this would be settled. Though he couldn't comprehend this at all!

"If we are going by your reasoning here, then that means exhibitionism is not something obscene you know... hey, oi!!"

Aine unhesitatingly took off her white shirt.

Kizuna tried to avert her eyes in panic, but his movements stopped in the middle.

"...?"

What could be seen under the white shirt was not brassiere.

What she was wearing under her uniform was a leotard with surface area that was extremely small.

The center of the leotard was opened, it was as if the clothes were flaunting the valley of the breasts and the navel, exposing them to the open. The cut of the crotch also had a steep angle while her sides were virtually uncovered.

It looked really erotic.

Aine's body line became completely obvious without anything hiding it, her large breasts were shaking in jiggles following her motion taking off her clothes.

However, this leotard with high exposure rate was not something for the sake of gymnastics.

"That's... a pilot suit?"

"Even though you are ignorant, but you are widely knowledgeable only in female underwear aren't you? The way you are using your head is really troubling."

"That's not underwear in the first place! No wait, it lookx like underwear though!"

He was staring fixedly at Aine once again.

There was no mistake, this was a pilot suit.

This girl, could she be――

"Zeros!"
