Second part of the Epilogue: Whatever Happened to Hitomi

Tragic moments like these were utterly unknown to the young master. So he sat there, sobbing and waiting for a solution. Unable to find one himself, he waited for Shadowfox to explain his words. That Shadowfox was indeed about to do so, but was then rather rudely interrupted, for then Hitomi started to talk again.

“Well, you wanted to know why I did this. I was a part of the Administrator’s plan all along. Cassandra, or Swordfox how you call her now, was our target. She probably did a lot of things but there is only one crime the Administration has found her guilty of. The unauthorized copying of textbooks. Copying all those textbooks and then handing them out to everyone for free, truly it would mean the end of the textbook industry. No one would buy their books anymore because everyone could get them for free. Truly it would mean the end of the world. She had to be stopped,” Hitomi explained.
