Part 2 

---Ancient Vampire Citadel, Elliptical Orbit Throne Room. 

When Yō came to, she found herself lying on a familiar yet tattered back that saw recent signs of battle. 

“……Izayoi?” 

“Oh, you’re awake. Looks like you went through quite a rough time eh.” 

The hearty laugh that was irritating yet calming seemed to echo in the cloisters. 

“Remember to thank Kirino and Garol Oji-san later. If it weren’t for them who bandaged you up, who knows what would have been left of you.” 

“……is that so?” 

Yō slightly lifted her head to look ahead in the dark cloisters to make out the figures of Garol, Kirino and Jack taking the lead for Izayoi. It would also seem that everyone was safe. 

Reaching that conclusion, Yō felt her strength give up on her as she lay on Izayoi’s back with her mind at ease. Enjoying the broad back that felt more comfortable than she had thought ---Yō suddenly noticed something amiss about the feeling around her neck. 

“…… Eh?” 

……The Nekomimi headphones had disappeared. 

Yō instantly paled as she turned to look around her abruptly. 

“OiOi, don’t move around too much when you are on another person’s back.” 

“Eh? Ah, right…um sorry…” 

Looks like Izayoi did not find out about the nekomimi headphones yet. Then where could it have dropped to…… or could it have been destroyed in the battle with Graiya? 

Oh…Oh no….! 

But with things the way it is now, finding it wouldn’t be much of a plan. Yō was panicking in her heart but she could only lie on Izayoi’s back for now. 

Reaching the hall of the Throne Room, Izayoi bent to let Yō off his back to lean against the wall. 

And held in his hand was the last constellation---Fragment of Ophiuchus. 

Yō tilted her head while asking in surprise: 

“Izayoi, you’ve already solved the riddle of the third and fourth clearing conditions?” 

“Yep. I’ve heard the history of the Vampire from Leticia.” 

“……History of the Vampire? Before they came to Little Garden?” 

“Nn. That dragon seems to be the [Dragon that carries the world of the Vampires]. To call it big, it sure is quite big…… but it’s still not big to the level of carrying a planet. So I guess that the cosmology learnt by the Vampires is something of an analogy or metaphor based off some religion.” 

That’s right---Izayoi’s conjecture was “To not disrupt the Phylogenetic tree, they conducted their observation from the huge dragon’s back. 

“As long as the context is known, linking up the sky Citadel to a satellite would have been easy. And precisely because of that, I’ve already placed my focus on the Game’s title <SUN SYNCHRONOUS ORBIT>. And last but not least comes the fourth clearing condition: ‘Following the proper procedure and using the Circle of Animals that have been restored to the throne as a guide, strike the heart of the revolutionist who is bounded in chains.’.” 

“That condition also has a misleading outlook to it?” 

“Of course. ‘Following the proper procedure to return the Circle of Animals to the throne’ isn’t that a repeat of the third condition only? The problem lies with the ‘strike the heart of the revolutionist who is bounded in chains’ that is the misleading factor that needs to be decoded……oh right Kasukabe, have you decoded it yet?” 

“No, not yet.” 

Yō gave an honest answer with the shake of her head while Izayoi, who was feeling his way around the stone wall of the throne room for the last slot to place the Fragment, cracked a smile in pride. 

“Well, it’s only a simple play with words. The word ‘革命’ can be taken as [Revolutionary], right? This phrase also has the meaning of making a [Revolution] too. In other words, the Game’s structure is not based on the Mastermind of the [Revolution] but the person behind the [Revolution] and to [Right the wrong] that has to be linked up to find the important significance behind it all.” 

As realization dawned upon Yō, she gave a thumbs up while nodding her head in awe. 

“So if we conclude from all that, it would be safe to say that the fourth winning condition of ‘strike the heart of the revolutionist’ would be to strike the heart of the ---Huge Dragon?” 


“Although it does sound a little weird, but that should be the idea behind it….Just that there’s still one more thing to confirm.” 

As he ended his words there, Izayoi stayed silent as he carefully aligned the last Fragment to the depression in the wall mechanism. 

But Izayoi did not immediately slot it in but turned back to look at the Leticia who sat on the throne. 

“……Leticia. That huge dragon outside……Could that be you?” 

“Eh?” The eyes of everyone in the room suddenly turned to focus on Leticia. 

Leticia bowed down her head to hide her face in the shadow as she gave a slightly self-depreciating smile. 

“……yea. You are right.” 

“What…What’s going on, Izayoi?” 

“Didn’t the title already say it? This is a game that is hosted by the Vampire King and the huge dragon that has manifested from the sun synchronous orbit in the Vampire King. And Leticia’s name had appeared twice in the clearing conditions. Although it wasn’t confirmed earlier, connecting the dots isn’t that much of a difficult task. 

Izayoi gave a displeased harrumph at that. 

Leticia nodded her head as she looked at him with a troubled expression. 

“……When summoning the strongest race into Little Garden, one would surely require the Authority of the stars and a certain level of competence. And it was by chance that I had met both of the requirements then. A body that’s been born out of a Pure-blooded Dragon…… and there was also the hallmark of our accomplishments as [Knights of Little Garden] …....and hence the Authority of the Thirteenth Zodiac.” 

And hence the huge dragon was born to play out the scenes of killing off one’s own former comrades who had turned traitor. 

Using the might of the Dragon’s size and power to bring judgement to the traitors. 

Regardless of the passing of time or the movements of the stars, those corpses continued to be tortured by her. 

“But today, it will all come to a close. As long as the winning condition is met, the huge dragon will soon disappear as well. Once I’ve been rendered powerless, the Game will be cleared.” 

“……Can I believe the words you have said?” 

Izayoi stared at Leticia with a serious expression. 

And his words stirred a sense of unease that gripped Yō’s heart. 

But there’s no other plan. If the huge dragon is Leticia’s main body, all the other winning conditions would mean killing her. As long as we cause her to lose her powers and meet the clearing condition, Leticia will…… 

Then, Yō realized the reason for her uneasiness. 

……HOW did that meet the condition? 

How were they going to cause the Strong Huge Dragon outside to become powerless? 

How were they going to free a Leticia who was bounded in chains? 

Yō did not arrive at any plan yet but Izayoi had already inserted the last Fragment into the depression--- 

Instantly, all Geass Rolls were updated with the Proclamation of victory.
