“Welcome to [Prim-Libra].”
 
Standing beyond the elevator were the angels.
 
Dozens of Excia, the Winged Guardians, gathered to guide the tour.
 
And at the edge一there she was.
 
“…………!”
 
HINATA-CHAN!!
 
NO WAYYYYYY!!!
 
MY IDOL!!! IS HERE!!! IN THE HOLY LAND!!!!
 
“一Hah………???”
 
“!?!?”
 
Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice一or sigh?一echoed in my head… or so I thought.
 
“…………My imagination?”
 
Looking around, the only one meeting my gaze was Hinata-chan, waving with a smile.
 
And beside her, Utsurugi Rui, shrouded in gloom.… Read more

一一Aaaaaahhhh!!! I’m finally making my pilgrimage to the holy land!!!
 
[Prim-Libra’s Tenth Branch]
 
Standing directly beneath it, I gazed up at the majestic, castle-like white structure.
 
I’d passed by it many times before, but today一today一I was actually going inside!
 
The setting of countless scenes in [Watayume],
 
a work I’d read so often that even after eighteen years, I could recall every detail just by seeing it in person.
 
一一There was a time when I thought……
 
“Oh crap, I can’t remember a thing.”… Read more

Act 3: Pilgrimage to the Holy Land

[Covenant of Salvation Nega-Messiah] Headquarters – Nest Underground, 7th Floor
 
This entire floor belonged to Kushina, though it seemed she had barely used it until now.
 
Well, she was always at my place, after all…
 
Naturally, it wasn’t particularly well-maintained either. At the center of the floor lay a moderately spacious area, left untouched一
 
perfect for moving around freely.
 
“一一Shh!”
 
I kicked off the ground, and my body, freed from inertia, shot forward as if vanishing.… Read more

Flashback 一 About a year and a half earlier.
 
Utsurugi Rui was a Winged Guardians Excia candidate, attending the middle division of the training school.
 
Her grades were the best in the school’s history. She had never placed below first in either academics or combat training.
 
Her Lux ability, Telekinesis, was rated S in every category一suppression, mobility, range, precision, and endurance.
 
And above all一what made her truly special was her beauty.
 
As a symbol of peace一as an idol.… Read more

“Hinata-chan is definitely number one (for Rui).”
 
“H-Hah…?!”
 
Huh? Why is she looking at me like I’m insane…?
 
Nah, no way. Angelic Hinata-chan would never think that.
 
“It’s always been you, from the start. You don’t need to worry.”
 
Right now, I just wanted to emphasize how much Rui cherishes her.
 
I mean, Rui has tried to kill me multiple times.
 
“Eh… eh…?”
 
But Hinata-chan still didn’t seem convinced.… Read more

**Act 2: Ibuki-kun Soars into the “Sun”
 

 
After racking my brain for the first step in my grand plan to befriend Rui, one brilliant idea came to mind:
 
Gather intel from someone close to Rui!
 
And so, here I am at my destination一
 
a place right next door that I haven’t visited in years. The air smelled sweeter than I remembered.
 
“Welcome, Onii-san~”
 
The one who greeted me was a girl who had grown far beyond my memories.… Read more

turned her gaze toward me.
 
“Mmm! Wearing the same robe as … that must mean you’re !”
 
“Yes, that’s correct.”
 
I nodded hesitantly, feeling a bit overwhelmed. She clenched her fists and nodded vigorously, as if savoring the moment.
 
“Mm-hmm! Not to toot my own horn, but一what a cool codename, am I right?!”
 
“Your own horn…?”
 
“Indeed! Why hide it? All the current naming conventions for [Nega-Messiah: Covenant of Salvation]一every last one一were decided by yours truly!… Read more

Glancing around, I noticed multiple passages branching out from the walls in all directions.
 
“Are those connected to ground-level entrances?”
 
“Some are. Others lead deeper underground. But一we’re going this way.”
 
Kushina strode straight toward the central bar.
 
Trailing behind her, I noticed the surrounding members starting to eye us as we approached.
 
“……! It’s Lady Setsuna!”
 
“Wait, Lady Setsuna is here too…?”
 
Grunt after grunt straightened their posture.… Read more

“What are you buying at the mall?”
 
“…………”
 
“Oh, are you just window-shopping?”
 
“…………”
 
“Window-shopping’s fun too!”
 
“…………”
 
“Ahaha…”
 
“…………”
 
A man and a woman walked down the bustling main street.
 
Yet, there wasn’t a hint of romance in the air.
 
If anything, no matter how much I tried to talk, Rui refused to say a word.
 
And, as if she couldn’t stand walking beside me, she trailed behind, hood up.… Read more

Act 1: Ibuki Ibusuki’s Misfortunate Day

 
Suddenly, but一 my house, the Ibusuki household, has a tabletop radio.
 
It’s a retro-style piece with a dark brown base, the very same one I fell in love with at first sight and begged Kushina to buy for me.
 
Back in my first year of high school, Kushina一already as responsible as she is now一told me, “You’ll just get bored of it, so don’t bother.” But I whined like a spoiled child until she finally gave in.… Read more
