The examination and treatment of Touka carried in the medical facility annexed to the stadium was done immediately by medical staff of Warslan. Speaking of the results of the examination, there’s nothing threatening her life for the time being, but because her head was struck strongly, it’s necessary to observe her progress――hence, it’s necessary for her to be hospitalized in the facility for a while to have a rest. After that, they finished treating her wounds and took her to the hospital room in the medical facility.

An hour and so have passed after the end of the match. Her consciousness hasn’t returned yet.

Claire, Charlotte, Hayato, Emilia and Karen are next to her bed, watching over Touka’s condition.

– N….

Suddenly, a long breath leaked out from Touka’s mouth. Looking at her, Karen raised her voice.

– Nii-san, Touka-san has!

– Ah!

Hayato stands up from the chair to chase Karen and looks into the figure of Touka, who’s sleeping facing up on the bed. Then her eyes slowly opened.

– Touka-san!

Karen shouts.

– Touka, are you alright?

Next, Hayato asks.

– Karen… and Shinshishō too…. What place, is this…?

Touka tried to raise her upper body after blinking incessantly. Thereupon, an intense pain attacked her.

– …kkuh!!

Touka curled up her body with a voice of agony.

– Are you alright, Touka-san!?

In a hurry, Karen calls her out.

Following her, it was Claire who called Touka out gently.

– It would be better for you to lie down once again desuwayo. If you continue being in that kind of posture, it will open the wounds of your body desuwa.

– President-dono…. The wounds of my body you say… huh….?

Following her own body full of bandages, looking at the pure white room and the worried facial expression showed by Hayato and everyone, Touka seems to have finally noticed the situation in which she was placed.

– I see…. I lost to that man and I’m in the hospital…

Touka murmured dropping her shoulders, in a state of feeling despondent.

– Apart from that thing, lay down for the time being. If you really keep doing that, as the president said the wounds will open.

– …okay.

Doing as told by Hayato, Touka lied down on the bed. She continued her words while tears were floating in the outer corner of her eyes.

– I’m sorry… Shinshishō. I promised I would definitely win but I lost…. What’s more, thinking that I could win, I was careless. Because of that, I caused trouble to you and everyone――

– Don’t worry about that. We are glad that you are fine.

That’s right, Hayato looks to Emilia, Karen, Claire and Charlotte. Everyone in this place nodded and indicated agreement with a “That’s right”.

But, it’s so frustrating… and pathetic…

Soon, tears float in the eyes of Touka. While stroking her head, Claire called her out.

– …what are you saying masuno? You really did it well. It is really a wonderful thing to break through the preliminary contest in individual matches being just a middle school student.

– That’s right. Besides, your opponent isn’t normal.

It’s Emilia that said to keep up.

– He isn’t normal… you say? What does that mean…?

In response to Emilia’s words, Touka instinctively intends to rise her body.

But――

– …kkuh!!

It seems that the pain has ran through the body just as before. Distorting her expression with a painful look, Touka leant her back in the bed.

– I’m sorry, I unintentionally again…

Touka showed a bitter smile to scoff herself.

There, Charlotte called her out.

– Kenzaki Touka, you still need to rest. Let’s postpone this conversation with Hayato-kun and the others. There are some tests that I want to do while your consciousness is awake, so Emilia, Queen-sama, Hayato and the rest, can you go outside for a moment?

There’s no reason for a person to refute the comment of Charlotte. Hayato and the others left the hospital room with satisfactory results of the examination, praying for a quick recovery of Touka.

Hayato and company left the hospital room and are on their way back to the special watching space.

– Umm… Nii-san, is it fine if I go to see my friends? It seems that they are now at the exit B.

Karen asked Hayato. Of course, that has a reason. It was around a while since Touka collapsed and was carried on a stretcher. While running together with Hayato and the others to the medical facility, Karen’s PDA received an e-mail from Aoi. She was worried about Touka’s condition.

At that time, she couldn’t reply because her state wasn’t known yet. So when Karen got out of the hospital room, and at the same time Touka awakened safely, Karen e-mailed to Aoi that Touka’s life wasn’t in danger for the time being.

「I’m glad」

Aoi immediately replied.

Subsequently, e-mails also arrive from Rebecca.

「Karen, what are you going to do after this? If it’s fine with you, won’t you join us? We are now at the exit B of the stadium」

The exit B of the stadium is located right in the halfway point of the space where the authorized people are allowed to trespass. Surely worried about Touka, Rebecca and Aoi came to that place. Because it’s Rebecca, she may have asked a security guard to let them go in.

Karen thought about such a thing and asked Hayato 「Can I go to the place my friends are telling me?」

– Yeah, go ahead.

Hayato answered that.

Karen’s expression gets brighter in a flash.

– Thank you very much――see you later, Nii-san!

After a short time since Karen started running towards exit B.

When Hayato and co. were walking towards the authorized people’s seats, they saw the Pope of Puritaria, Serivia Paul Notre Dame III, walking from the front. As usual she hides her face with a thin cloth hanging from her hat and has two followers on both sides.

– Ara, everyone is going together. Is she all right?

Serivia stopped her feet and said.

Of course, she is talking about Touka. Hayato answered.

– Yes, she regained consciousness. She’s going through a complete examination now, but I think she is alright.

– Is that so?

Taking a breath feeling relieved, Serivia continued.

– I am relieved because I was concerned about her too. That is great.

– Yes.

Answering, Hayato bows his head.

– This is also thanks to Serivia-san.

– …thanks to me?

– Since Serivia-san approved our trespassing, we were able to stop the match before Touka got hurt seriously. Besides, we didn’t receive punishment either.

– That is also thanks to Judal-san. …And, on that subject, that woman is Judal-san’s little sister, isn’t it?

– I am sorry that my introduction was delayed.

Claire, who looked at Serivia, quickly bowed her head and started to introduce herself.

– I am the representative of Little Garden, Claire Harvey desuwa. Thank you very much for your consideration, as well as my brother, Judal, for your efforts to host this tournament, I really give you my thanks.

– Please raise your head Claire-san. After this I think that I will be indebted to the people of Warslan and Little Garden for the development of the moon base and the like. I hope we can work together.

– Yes, of course desuwa.

Claire who raised her head grasped tightly the right hand that Serivia has presented.

– ……

At that moment Claire felt a sense of discomfort.

(What was that of now desuno?)

She felt something like a somewhat strong energy.

– Did something happen, Claire-san?

– No, it is nothing…

Claire answered in order to mislead her, and separated her hand.

– Which reminds me, Claire-san not only is the leader of the organization but also has a considerable skill as a Slayer, isn’t it? That is great.

– I am extremely honored that Pope-sama can say so.

– Ufufu, I am also registering as a team member for the team battles, so in case we have to confront, let’s have a good fight.

– …eh? Pope-sama herself is going to fight?

The surprised Claire was staring in wonder. Hayato and Emilia also have the same reaction. Serivia said, looking at them.

– Why is everyone surprised? After all, Claire-san has just said that she is the representative of Little Garden, correct? So, without a doubt you are going to compete in team battles, yes?

– That is indeed true but, I am only the representative of one organization and, since Serivia-sama is an international leader, and the sponsor of this tournament…

– It is the same. There is no rule for an organizer to not participate as a competitor. Of course, it can’t be helped if I get injured, so there is no need to go easy on me. I am going to fight seriously in the matches. Naturally, precisely because I can fight, I am going to appear in the matches.

Loosening her lips and smiling, Serivia said.

– With that said, I am looking forward to the day when I can match against Claire-san’s Little Garden.

Together with the two followers, Serivia took her leave from the front of them. At the same they weren’t on sight, Claire said like muttering.

– Kisaragi Hayato, Emilia Hermitt――. Do you know how much ability the Slayers of Pope-sama have?

– Err…

Hayato remembered after being asked by Claire, the moment immediately after when they met with the King of Britannia

The Pope, with a mysterious power, sent flying without touching with her hand the body of Douglas. And that’s not all.

That night, she made a way in the air using sense energy and intruded through the window the room where Hayato was staying. Although it was a fake, she broke Hayato’s Hien with one hand.

– I think that maybe they are quite the Slayers.

– …hmm, I think so too desuwayone.

Claire gazes at the right hand she used to shake hands with Serivia. At that moment, she felt a strong energy. She wonders if it was a provocation from her. Or maybe the energy she has stored in the interior of her body is overflowing?

Either way, it is clear as day that that isn’t normal. Besides, even without her as a member, the Slayers of Puritaria should be a formidable enemy.

Of course, the Federation of Britannia where Claudia and Douglas are, the Rasiya Army with Gert that seems to be an artificial Variant――and naturally the Warslan army of Judal, they aren’t going to be dealt with ordinary means.

– This really… really is going to be a tough fight desuwa…

Claire mutters. But even if that reality is ahead, the objective will not be shaken.

Then, Claire said to persuade herself.

– Nevertheless, we are aiming for the championship――it doesn’t matter who our rival is, we will never lose.

– Thank you for waiting.

Karen, who reached the exit B, was able to immediately find the figures of Rebecca and Aoi. Rebecca calls out to the approaching Karen.

– Oh! Karen. You finally came.

– I’m really glad that Touka-san is safe.

– Yes, I truly think so too.

Karen agrees with Aoi.

– Be that as it may, that muscle daruma, he was really the worst. Even though the match was over, he continued attacking Touka!

She remembered the match.

Rebecca lifts her eyebrows and shakes her fist in front of her chest.

– But, it was nice that she has been saved thanks to Hayato-san. Hayato-san was really cool.

– Ehehe, I thought so too.

They smile looking at each other’s faces. One is proud of her brother, the other the person she admires.

They cannot help but be happy of his great efforts.

Rebecca didn’t disagree.

– Well, it’s certain that he was cool.

“”Isn’t it!?””

The voice of Karen and Aoi matches.

…and at that precise moment.

Rebecca suddenly stopped her feet.

– Karen, Aoi… wait a moment…

The voice was small. But, it was a powerful one. Karen and Aoi stopped their feet.

– …what is it, Rebecca?

It was Aoi who asked.

– Try to see that.

Rebecca has a stern expression and the index finger of her right hand points towards the shadows of the decorative plants that are set up in front of the building of the stadium.

She was able to see two men wearing a complete black suit, just like a Variable Suit.

Rapidly hiding from view, they kept talking.

– Who on earth are those people doing…?

– …I don’t understand but, aren’t they kind of suspicious?

Rebecca murmured in regards to the question presented by Karen.

Even if they look around, no one else is there.

To begin with, this place is on the other side of the building of the stadium. It’s a place that by nature has no traffic.

– Ah! They are leaving from that place.

They started running from that place as quickly as possible. As far as they can see, it seems that they weren’t aware of Karen, Rebecca and Aoi.

– What were they doing? Should we check the situation…?

– ――Please wait!

Karen gently stopped Rebecca who tried to move her feet to the place where the men used to be.

– …what’s wrong?

– Somehow, I have a bad feeling.

– A bad feeling you say…

– I don’t get it but… maybe…

Just in case, Karen detached the Hundred from her neck and grasped tightly in her hand.

– This is bad!

She judged that on the moment. Karen is convinced, looking at the sparks barely scattering around.

(Those people were terrorists, and they set up bombs!)

The situation is dangerous.

– <<Sacred Amulet Deployment>> HUNDRED ON!

A <Sacred Amulet> card appeared in Karen’s hand. The symbol at the center of it showed a change from the Hundred to a shield.

That emitted a brilliance, and a dome type barrier field was developed, wrapping the bodies of Karen, Rebecca and Aoi. Thanks to that, none of them got hit by the fragments that flew around, nor the cloud of dust that whirled up.

– Are they terrorists?

It was Rebecca that muttered. Apparently she also realized that. Karen said while nodding.

– Both of you, wait here. I will do something about those two!

– Huh…?

– ‘Do something’…?

Rebecca was showing a blurred expression and Aoi had her eyes rounded beyond the glasses.

However, Karen’s eyes are with a strong determination as if they will never falter.

(It will be bad if I don’t catch those guys!)

Throwing the card into the sky, Karen shouted.

– Card-san please, help me out!

Then, the <symbol> mark in the center of the card changes from a shield to a wing-like one, and converts into particles while releasing light.

Those particles immediately made wings on Karen’s back and shoes.

(Thank you, Card-san)

Karen shows gratitude to her Hundred.

(With this, I can chase them!)

Karen kicks the ground with strength and flies high in the sky.

– Hey, Karen!

– Karen-san!

Rebecca and Aoi.

Karen took out the PDA from her pocket and followed the two men without listening to her friends. It’s in order to inform about the terrorism that just happened to her brother and everyone as well as the current situation of herself.

– Hello, Nii-san… can you hear me!?

At the same time the call connected.

Karen began to talk with an impatient voice.

– Why are they commencing with this timing?

Judal, who was taking a rest in the room prepared for the organizers, muttered at the same time as he heard about the terrorist incident.

– Is this timing, after the tournament has started and after checking the situation of security?

The one who asked that was Judal’s bodyguard, Neveah Grauss.

– Yeah, exactly. That place had little security so it was purposely done――it looks like they have aimed at a place without surveillance cameras. Nonetheless, there are other places that we are short-handed, but for the time being, there are only three places where an explosion can occur. In other words, the other party is not a big organization, so they can’t do that much of a big cooperation. I wonder if there is terrorism occurring in the space station in the Sunshine State or elsewhere.

– For now, there is no such information.

– It seems that the effect of the operation of destroying the terrorist organizations that had been making progress was quite effective. If we catch the people who caused the terror here and we catch the remaining leaders, it will be as good as destructing them.

– Judal-sama!

Judal stares at the woman who wears the uniform of Warslan, and jumped into the room with impatience.

– What is it? So noisy.

– I, I am sorry…

Apologizing, the woman fixed her posture and continued.

– The information that arrived just now at the security headquarters is that Kisaragi Karen is chasing two men of the group that set up the terrorist attack.

– Kisaragi Karen… is that Kisaragi Hayato’s little sister…?

Judal murmured while touching his forelock with his fingers.

– It’s a meritorious deed If we assume the girl who’s also a diva captured the terrorists. Her treatment, the Hundred that Warslan gave to her and the evaluation of Little Garden will be further enhanced. Besides――.

Judal smiles boldly and continued his words.

– In case she is wounded by the terrorists, the public opinion will lean towards the direction we want in one go. We can deal damage to the anti-Slayer groups.

– Judal-sama, that is too imprudent…

– It is exactly as you say.

Showing a smile like making fun of Neveah in regards to her advice, Judal continued.

– Can you grasp the location of Kisaragi Karen? Put the security guards at that place right away. Capture the terrorists alive as much as possible, and make them spew the whereabouts of their partners. Depending on the situation, there’s no problem to dispose of them. Although injured people haven’t appeared, don’t forget to take care of the spectators.

– What will you do with the tournament?

– …the tournament? Of course I’m not going to suspend it or interrupt it. We’ll never yield to terrorism. That’s Warslan’s―― and Liberia’s justice.
