Chapter 6

The time was 7:40pm, and they had returned to the living room of the Arita household on the 23rd floor.

Today, June 20th, 2047, was the planned day of the «Imperial Palace Escape Operation». It had started at 7:00 pm, which meant less than an hour had passed. But to Haruyuki, it felt like a few days’ worth of events had piled up together, which he hadn’t bothered processing.

The escape from the Imperial Palace, the fierce battle against Suzaku.

The search and discovery of Ash Roller. Summoning the armor, and unleashing a massacre.

The meeting with the two Burst Linkers from Great Wall, and the even fiercer fight that followed…

Haruyuki sat at a corner of the sofa set and thought through these events, cringing. Then someone said to him “Enjoy”, and placed a mug of café au lait in front of him.

“... Th.. thank you...”

In a small voice, Haruyuki thanked Chiyuri who had prepared the drink for him, then placed the steaming hot mug to his lips, taking a big gulp, and in that instant...

“Ahhhh hoooooot!?”

His tongue was assaulted by the sensation of scalding hot liquid, and he couldn’t help but scream. Sitting on the sofa opposite, Chiyuri looked as though the matter were of no concern to herself. She took a sip of her own coffee, then said nonchalantly:

“Whoops, sorry.”

The drinks she had served to everyone else were at the right temperature, but only Haruyuki’s had been heated to boiling point in the microwave. This sort of prank could only have been targeted at one person, but only Takumu smiled wryly with some resignation. Kuroyukihime, Fuuko, even Shinomiya Utai were drinking silently.

This was not because of what happened just now, where Haruyuki had trapped everyone in the house and run away on his own, not even because of his summoning the «Disaster Armor».

It was because of the person sitting to Haruyuki’s left — That «seventh» person was still gloomy-faced, her right hand clutching tightly to the edge of Haruyuki’s T-shirt. Except for the period of time where Fuuko had pried her off Haruyuki and dragged her into the elevator to the 23rd floor, and settled her down on the sofa, that hand had not left his T-shirt.

If it were the Red King Niko, also known as Kouzuki Yuniko, Kuroyukihime would already have yelled “Stop playing around and let go!” or something like that, or even resort to physical attacks, but since the other person was actually this pitiful, sobbing girl, even the Black King seemed unable to bring herself to use physical force.

The only audible noise in the tense silence was the sound of Haruyuki blowing into his mug.

After a while, Chiyuri put down her own mug, and as she rubbed her temples, asked with difficulty:

“Ummmmm… I’m still trying to understand this situation… or rather, I can’t accept this situation at all………”

She lifted her head, and looked directly at the girl next to Haruyuki, or directly in front of her,

“... You’re really «Ash Roller»? Him? The guy who goes, Hyahaha I’m
