"Rather than calling that saving, it was more like just buying time. Rather the one who did the saving was Yurishia right? Cross' firepower is just awesome. Just as expected from the ace of the American army."
Kizuna laughed 'ahaha'.
"But since then Kizuna is not energetic aren't you?"
"Eh, no, that's not..."
"Especially today, you are not energetic at all. Did something happen?"
Yurishia peered into Kizuna's face.
"Tha... that's... you really understand huh."
"Fufu-"
'Because, I was always looking at you after all'――she didn't say that.
"Try to say it if you have something bothering you. I'll give you some advice."
Yurishia showed a bright smile like the sun.
As if being invited by that smile, Kizuna opened his mouth.
"Yurishia, is your relation with Chidorigafuchi good? I'm wondering, what kind of person that girl is?"
Immediately Yurishia's face became sullen.
"Ee~!? You are not worrying about me? That's rea―lly a let down."
"No, sorry. But, it's about the Heart Hybrid..."
Eh? Just why did he apologize?
"It can't be helped then."
Yurishia crossed her arms and moved her fingers antsily.
"Well, it doesn't even seem like you like Aine or anything... fine then, I'll specially teach you. But, I too don't really know that girl well you know?"
"But, you two are comrades in the same team Amaterasu right?"
"Because, we don't really talk much. Even when we talk, she is always in that kind of manner right? She has a wicked tongue, she only talked about incomprehensible things, she doesn't really talk about herself."
"She didn't talk about herself?"
"Yes. That's why, I don't even know what did Aine usually do to pass her time. I don't even know about something like her hobby, her favorite thing, or even her family."
"Then... any person that seems close to her?"
Yurishia pondered a little, but she shook her head.
"No one comes to mind."
There was no one close to her, he remembered Chidorigafuchi saying that to him.
That girl was popular among the male students but... actually, she had no friends or anything?
"In the first place, where did that girl come from? Her appearance doesn't look like a Japanese at all though."
"I also don't know that."
"You don't know?"
"I was also interested in that, so I tried asking around once. But, no one knew. Nobody in this academy knew about Aine's past."
