Hundred - Volume 11 - Chapter 9.1

The love situation of many people ?? Girls’ Talk/School Life 

At the cafeteria in Little Garden. 

Alphonse Brewstadt, who was promoted to the second year in the Martial Arts Department, was sitting on the terrace table, eating a strawberry-flavored shaved ice. 

The time of year was early summer. Moreover, it was pretty hot. Probably because he ordered it to try mitigating it, his facial expression wasn’t bright. Far from it, he even sighed. 

It wasn’t that the shaved ice wasn’t delicious. It felt nice and cold and very delicious. But the deliciousness didn’t fill the feeling of loneliness. 

Alphonse muttered. 

– Hey, Silver Blitz. We’re lonely, aren’t we…? 

– … Woof? 

Silver Blitz, sitting in the chair in front of Alphonse, twisted its neck as if saying he didn’t get what he meant. Silver Blitz looked like a dog but it wasn’t a dog. Its identity was Alphonse’s Tamer-type Hundred. 

Suddenly, a shadow fell in front of him. 

– Alphonse-kun, why are you sighing while eating something that looks delicious? 

With the voice released, Alphonse realized who the shadow belonged to. 

– Noah-san! And, Shuemei… 

Turning around, Noah, a second-year student of the same Martial Arts Department, was there. 

And Shuemei was behind her. 

– Is there something that is making you feel down? 

Shuemei asked. And Noah said. 

– If you like, we can give you advice. Wait a minute. We’ll also buy shaved ice. 

It looked like Noah and Shuemei came to the cafeteria to eat shaved ice. 

The two who separated from Alphonse came back right away. 

Noah had lemon-flavored shaved ice in her hand. 

He could see that condensed milk shaved ice was in the hand of Shuemei. 

Including Silver Blitz, they sat as if surrounding Alphonse. 

Then Noah asked Alphonse again. 

– … So, what’s the reason you’re feeling down? 

– Umm, the thing is, that… 

Sighing in a big way, Alphonse began to talk. 

– I had a lot of expectations. I thought a Tamer-type Slayer like me would come to enroll this year and?? 

– Oh, so that’s it. Tamer type is quite special, no? As one would expect, there was none, huh. 

– If there were, I would have boasted our Hundred and I’d have loved to train together with them, and yet… 

*Losing Strength*, Alphonse dropped his shoulders. 

With that, Shuemei became aware. 

– But wasn’t there a freshman who resembles that a bit? 

– Eh, who? 

Raising his body vigorously, Alphonse turned eyes full of hope to Shuemei. 

– Aila-chan. She fought against Sango-chan back at the entrance ceremony. 

– Oh! The one who said to be a descendant of vampires… 

– Yeah, that one. A bat that didn’t fly!? 

Having told that, Alphonse recalled. 

Certainly, that freshman used bat-like floating batteries. 

– If I remember correctly, those bats were pretty cute. Do they have a name like my Silver Blitz? 

– … Hmm, Aila-san happens to be in the right place. 

– Eh? 

Within the line of sight of Noah who raised her voice, there was the rumored girl Aila Ersvady. 

And Kurumi Sango, a first-year student of the same Martial Arts Department. 

They could also see the figure of Tsuzura Mirai with them. 

It seemed that everyone came to eat shaved ice like Noah, Shuemei and Alphonse. 

Aila and Sango had strawberry-flavored shaved ice like Alphonse. 

Typical of someone coming from Yamato, Mirai held a matcha Ogura shaved ice. 

– Aila-san! 

Noah called out to her while waving her hand in a big way. 

– Hmm, what is it? Do you have business with me? 

The called Aila approached Alphonse and the others. 

Sango and Mirai came following her. 

– Now, Alphonse-kun. Explain it, explain it ?. 

– Eh? I have to explain it!? Umm… 

Urged by Noah, Alphonse said he was looking forward to fellow Tamer-type Slayers enrolling, but that didn’t happen. 

In the middle of the story, he told her that he had remembered Aila’s bat-type floating batteries. 

– And so, do those bats have a name? I thought. 

– There’s no way they’ll have something like that. 

Aila replied as if being amazed. 

– They’re my underlings, but they’re batteries after all. If I give them a name, I wouldn’t make them explode and damage my opponent. 

Alphonse was so laughably shocked that he could hear sounds behind him. 

– Uu…. She felt a bit chuuni, but to think it was… 

Alphonse crumbled down to the ground. 

– There there, Alphonse-kun. Cheer up. I’m sure Slayers of the same type as yours will enroll next year. 

Saying so, Noah tapped Alphonse’s shoulder. 

– Ah, yeah…. If there’s one, that is. 

Encouraged by Noah, the cheeks of Alphonse, who stood up and grabbed the hand that was presented, dyed faintly red. 

Seeing that, Mirai spilled a smile. 

(Ho-ho, could it be that Alphonse-han…) 

At that moment. 

– That’s right! 

Aila shouted as if remembering something. 

– I answered your questions, so now you answer my question. 

– … Question? 

Alphonse asked back. 

– Yeah, about the two Vice-presidents. 

– By that, do you mean Hayato-san and Emilia-san? 

– Exactly. 

Aila, who received Shuemei’s question, nodded with a dignified attitude. 

Kisaragi Hayato and Emilia Hermit??. 

It hadn’t been long since they officially became Vice-presidents. 

Just before Claire went to space, Kisaragi Hayato and Emilia Hermit were designated Vice-presidents by the former President Claire. 

No objection came from other students. In fact, not only they had already assumed the role of Vice-presidents since spring, their true strength had no shortcomings. 

– What would you like to talk about? Is it about their uniforms? 

The reason Mirai asked so to Aila was because their uniforms were almost the same as those of ordinary students. 

President Claire wore a red one ever since the establishment of Little Garden. The Vice-presidents Liddy and Erika wore red ones and the members of the Student Council wore uniforms of a particular color. 

However, even after becoming Vice-presidents, Hayato and Emilia basically wore the same green uniforms as the other students, except for the red collar and arm line that indicated they were part of Selections. 

Liddy, who became the president, wore the same blue uniform as before, she firmly refused, saying she wasn’t someone who could stand side-by-side with Claire, the first president. 

In other words, it represented honor to Claire. 

No one complained about it in Little Garden. 

… However, it seemed that some sort of distinction should be made for the time being, and so, it was decided that a special badge would be attached to the president and vice presidents. 

The members at Lunaltia Base wore the same uniforms for now; it was decided that characteristic badges would be attached to them. 

– ??No, not really. 

Aila immediately denied it. 

– No? 

– What I particularly want to hear about is the relationship between Kisaragi Hayato and Claire Harvey. My Nee-sama, Sango-sama, has been worried about the outcome of Claire-sama’s romance for a long time?? 

– Wait, Aila! What, are you saying!? 

Blushing suddenly, Sango began to shake Aila’s body. 

However, Aila continued speaking without being perturbed. 

– Please be silent for a moment, Onee-sama. This is a good opportunity. It’s something we should ask. 

– But… 

Hanging her head, and looking shy, Sango rubbed the fingertips of both hands together. However, her eyes that looked upward were full of expectations and turned them to Shuemei and Noah. 

– So, how is it? Answer me. 

Aila asked Noah, Shuemei and Alphonse. 

– Even if you tell us to answer you…. 

Noah showed a troubled expression and looked at Shuemei. 

– What do you think, Shuemei? 

– If it’s about who’s the closer one, there’s no doubt that’s Emilia-san, but…. 

– Closer one? If we’re talking about the moon and Little Garden, then Emilia-san, who’s in Little Garden with him, is the closer one. 

What a boring answer, Noah interjected. 

Panicking, Shuemei supplemented with a different aim. 

– I’m not talking about that. They are childhood friends, aren’t they? When they came to Little Garden, they lived in the same room for a few days?? 

– In the same room!? 

It was Aila who shouted, looking surprised. 

Both Mirai and Sango showed surprised expressions. 

– That’s some info I didn’t know. 

– Me neither. 

Their faces were dyed red. 

– Yeah, first-year students don’t know that. 

That’s right, Shuemei added. 

– Actually, Emilia-san dressed as a man first and enrolled. And so, she lived in the same room as Kisaragi-san for a few days?? 

– D-do-does that mean that those two have such an amazing relationship it can’t be told to others? 

Aila said hastily. 

Her cheeks were redder than Mirai’s and Sango’s. 

It seemed that Aila had a lot of interest in that sort of things. 

– Umm, is that the case? 

Blushing as if feeling embarrassed, Shuemei turned her gaze to Noah. 

– There’s no way I’d know that! 

Noah replied, blushing like her. 

– But, apart from living in the same room, and speaking of childhood friends, that diva Kirishima Sakura is also Kisaragi-kun’s childhood friend, no? She also approaches Kisaragi-kun a lot…. 

– But even if you say childhood friends, I’ve heard that she was with Kisaragi-san and Karen-chan a mere day though. 

Replying so, Shuemei continued. 

– And does Sakura-san really likes Kisaragi-kun? It feels like romance helps her develop her singing skills, I mean, they feel closer…. 

– I feel like I get that somehow. 

Sango nodded. 

Mirai inclined her head and said. 

– Yeah. What does Hayato-han think of Sakura-san? 

– He often says she’s amazing, but…. 

The one who replied was Shuemei. 

– I mean, it goes without saying he meant that as a diva… right? 

Then silence came with the words Noah said. 

Nobody could argue. 

Everyone seemed to look it like that. 

It was Aila who broke the silence. 

– T-that’s right! There are another women who are interested in him. That woman with an eyepatch and his sister. 

– You mean Nesat-san and Karen-chan? 

– Yup. 

Nodding and replying Shuemei’s question, Aila continued. 

– His little sister is only his little sister, as far as I know. 

– For the time being, Karen-chan is?? 

Shuemei remembered the exchange between Karen and Hayato that she had seen so far. 

– Karen-chan loves her older brother and doesn’t want him to be taken by anyone, I suppose it’s that. But I don’t feel it’s in a romantic way or something like that…. 

That was Shuemei’s point of view. 

– Leaving Karen-chan aside, Kisaragi-san only sees Karen-chan as his real little sister. 

Noah also agreed with Shuemei’s opinion. 

– More importantly, the problem is Nesat-san! To be honest, I also suspect of her. 

– Yeah, I think she’s suspicious too. As far as I can see, yeah, she is. 

– I think so too. 

– I think so as well. She understands Hayato-han well. 

Following Aila, both Sango and Mirai agreed. 

– … But the moon and the Earth are too far away, aren’t they? 

Shuemei muttered. 

Then Noah said. 

– That’s the same for President… no, Honorary President Claire, right? 

– If so, then Emilia-san has the upper hand. 

– I’m not sure about that. 

Mirai manifested a different opinion at Shuemei’s conclusion. 

She began to talk, looking happy. 

– A reunion after a long time is a burning situation, no? Claire-han and Hayato-han who meet again on the moon. There’s the possibility that they’ll realize each other’s feelings, have a long kiss to fill the time they were apart??and the usual development, no? It’s the same for Nesat-han, but… 

– That’s incredibly romantic. 

– Yeah, very romantic. 

Noah and Shuemei showed ecstatic facial expressions. 

And Mirai asked again. 

– By the way, what do you think about Hayato-han? 

– Eh!? 

– Us!? 

That question seemed to be unexpected for them. 

The suddenly shaken Shuemei and Noah jumped up, stacking their voices. 

Not only Mirai, who asked the question, but also Alphonse turned curious-looking eyes to Shuemei and Noah. 

– W-well…. 

The one who replied overwhelmed by their eyes was Shuemei. 

– I’m grateful to him for helping me during the entrance ceremony, and obviously I think well of Kisaragi-kun, but…. 

She glanced at Noah. 

In response, Noah continued. 

– No matter how you put it, our opponent is too strong. Aren’t we out of reach? We can’t compare with her…. 

Mirai didn’t fail to notice that Alphonse’s facial expression shone suddenly when he heard Noah’s reply. 

Without a moment’s delay, she fired another question at Shuemei and Noah. 

– If so, then is there another men you’re interested in? 

– Other…? 

Shuemei looked surprised. 

– Like Fritz-han? Or Krovahn-san? 

– Fritz-kun has Latia-san…. 

Shuemei replied right away. 

It was hard to intervene there. 

Shuemei felt as if they were bound by a deep bond. 

– About Krovahn-kun, Nakri-san gets in the way when other female students try to talk to him. 

– Ahaha, that’s true. 

Hearing Noah’s words, Shuemei showed a wry smile. 

– In the first place, this school has a small number of male students, don’t you agree? 

Noah muttered, sounding uninterested. 

Mirai couldn’t let go of the interesting chance that came again. 

– But there is. Here, In front of… 

And, at the same time Mirai turned her eyes to Alphonse. 

– Uwaaaaaaaaa!! 

After Alphonse shouted. 

He approached Mirai with a desperate look. 

– Wait, please stop what you’re doing, I beg you! 

– Sorry. I’ll stop. 

*Ahaha*, Mirai showed an innocent smile. 

With that, Alphonse felt relieved. 

– … Still, I don’t really get it. 

Aila said in an exasperated-sounding tone of voice. 

– I don’t like weak-willed and indecisive man like him. Still, why is he popular? Is it because of his power? I really don’t get it. The ones I like are brave and strong-willed??yes, someone like Claire-sama and Onee-sama?? 

Aila clung closely to Sango. 

Panicking and pulling the body of Aila apart, Sango shouted. 

– I told you, I haven’t acknowledged you as my younger sister! 

Laughter resounded. 

Hayato and Emilia happened to pass by right there. 

The two of them had just come to eat shaved ice. 

Emila said to Hayato. 

– Everyone seems to have fun talking. 

– Do we join them? 

– Yeah! 

Hayato and Emilia started to walk towards Shuemei, Noah, Alphonse and the others. 

The routine of Little Garden’s students continued.
