 2nd Grade Class A, Shirogane Aqua

 22nd July, Saturday

 Today, I had a wonderful time spending quality time with my wives.

 I got a little carried away and made Ayana’s face turn red, which earned me a scolding from Kohina-senpai.

 Oops!

 July 23rd, Sunday

 Today, I went to the Beryl headquarters in the morning for a magazine interview and photoshoot.

 It’s always the most enjoyable when I’m working.

 On my way out, I peeked into the adjacent Meeting Room and saw the beryl&beryl staff members being made to sit in seiza by Kohina-senpai.

 Hmm… Well, I guess it can’t be helped. I wanted to help them, but I knew if I did, I’d probably get a lecture from Kohina-senpai too, so I just pretended not to see and left.

 Alright, tomorrow is the start of my official break! I’m going to have so much fun!

 24th July, Monday

 I played a game of pretend wrestling with the maids as a way to express my gratitude for their hard work.

 Tomorrow, I plan to do the same with the other staff members.

 I wonder if the elegant and refined princesses will also be interested in a game of pretend wrestling? Just thinking about it makes my little friend down there all tingly.

 I really wanted to do it with Kohina-senpai, but I was afraid of ruining our relationship, so I couldn’t bring myself to ask.

 25th July, Tuesday

 Today, I went on a promised tour with Tenga-senpai and camped.

 It was great to have deep conversations with Tenga-senpai under the beautiful starry sky.

 When I was about to sleep, Tenga-senpai kept talking to me, but I was so tired that I fell asleep right away.

 However, it seems Tenga-senpai couldn’t sleep because he was having so much fun and stayed awake the whole time.

 The next day, when I woke up, Tenga-senpai had made ham and eggs for me.

 It was really delicious.

 Next time, I thought I should bring Shintaro along too. Hey, best friend, let’s go together next time, okay?

 Also, I took a picture of a bear warning sign and sent it to Kohina-senpai with the message, “Is this about you, senpai?” and got scolded. I don’t get it!!

 July 26, Wednesday

 I heard Inko-san wasn’t feeling well, so we played games together.

 Today, I kept saying “You’re amazing!” and I was happy when Inko-san returned to her usual self.

 Later, we joined up with Kaede and Kohina-senpai, and the 4 of us played battle royale, but only no-lifers and cheaters were left, and we got taken out in seconds. It seems there are no casual players left in this game.

 To make things worse, when I saw the perspective of the party that took us out, they were super pro. Kanon is strong… Also, Emily tried to shoot Kaede’s box but accidentally shot Kohina-senpai’s box instead. Emily logged out of the game right away, but I think she should escape the country immediately.

 I realized that even with friends, it’s better not to shoot at each other’s boxes!!

 Alright, that should be good!

 I don’t understand why there’s a drawing diary for high school homework, but this is what boys’ homework is like in this world.

 Thinking too deeply about it means you lose. Plus, we have to grow morning glories and do crafts too.

 I feel like I might be writing too much, but since only Sugita-sensei reads this diary, it should be fine.

 ”Alright, what should I do today?”

 Should I go for the classic outdoor activities?

 But, Summer King said she would help me with insect collecting, and when I was making something in the garden, the maids were all flustered and Kohina-senpai yelled at me, “Don’t do crafts outside!!”

 …I send a message to Shintaro.

 Shirogane Aqua:

 Are you free today?

 Mayuzumi Shintaro:

 Sorry. I have a date with Awashima-san today.

 Shirogane Aqua:

 Shintaro, you’re amazing! Good luck!!

 Mayuzumi Shintaro:

 Yeah! Leave it to me, best friend!!

 Shirogane Aqua:

 So, what should we do?

 Nekoyama Toa:

 Sorry. I have work today.

 Shirogane Aqua:

 Seriously? Well, let’s hang out another time!

 Also, you just got over a cold, so don’t push yourself too hard at work!!

 Nekoyama Toa:

 Yeah!

 It seems like everyone except me has plans.

 Tenga-senpai… said he was going to his family home with Haruka-san when we went camping together last time.

 I casually asked a few others what they were doing today, but it looks like everyone has something going on.

 It can’t be helped. Sometimes it’s like that.

 Kohina Yukari:

 Are you free today?

 I pretend I didn’t see anything and, just in case, I turn off my phone.

 Alright! Since I have the chance, maybe I’ll drop by the Beryl branch.

 I stepped out of my room and headed to the branch office in the Shirogane Kingdom.

 ”Hey? Aqua-kun, what’s up?”

 ”What do you mean what’s up? Ako-san, what are you doing here? I thought Shitori-oneechan said you had the day off…”

 ”Eek!”

 Ako-san clearly looked away from me.

 This is bad. I need to do something fast!!

 I grabbed Ako-san’s hand and called the main office, saying I was forcing her to take the day off, and took her outside.

 ”Ako-san, are you really okay with this?”

 ”U-um. Well, when you suddenly said ‘date,’ I couldn’t think of anything else.”

 Ako-san and I entered an old, not-so-popular movie theater.

 Wow, I didn’t know there was a theater here.

 But the lineup is pretty old. I’ve never seen any of these titles.

 ”Excuse me. Two tickets for ‘Sludge Hydraseeker,’ please.”

 ”Sure thing. You’re bringing a good-looking guy instead of that shorty today. Is this a date?”

 It seems Ako-san knows the owner of this theater.

 It was rare to see Ako-san blushing.

 ”Ako-san, I’ll pay for the tickets since I asked you out on a date.”

 ”No, it’s fine. Besides, this movie is one I wanted you to see, Aqua-kun, so I’ll pay as a treat for you since you were busy today!”

 ”Thank you!”

 We sat next to each other in the best seats of the almost empty theater.

 After a little while, the movie started.

 ’Colonel Yuuki. What is this place? What are you doing here!? Who are these children here!?’

 ’Lieutenant Sakuda, explain why I must answer that question. I am your superior, you know.’

 Whoa. This movie is pretty fancy…

 The role of Colonel Yuuki is played by Mutsumiya Seijuu-san, and the one holding the sword against her is Mikuni mother. It’s been 7 or 8 years, so both of them look a bit younger.

 The movie seems to be set in the early Showa period, or maybe even earlier? I think it’s around that time.

 ’Ugh! That kind of thing…’

 ’On the basis of justice and reason… right? You really like justice and reason. But you can’t save a country with just justice and reason.’

 Colonel Yuuki stands up, grabs Liutenant Sakuda’s sword, and pulls her closer by his hair.

 She opens the window curtains and pushes Liutenant Sakuda’s head against the glass.

 ’Liutenant Sakuda, look closely at the view from this window! All around us are women, women, women… just women!! Where in this twisted and abnormal world do justice and reason exist?!’

 ’Ugh, but that doesn’t mean you can gather children and do this…! This kind of thing can’t be allowed!!’

 It seems that Colonel Yuuki is gathering only children to do something inhumane.

 Liutenant Sakuda, who has a strong sense of justice, probably wants to stop it, but in front of the determined Colonel Yuuki, she seems a bit lacking in resolve.

 Instead, Liutenant Sakuda’s memories begin to unfold.

 Born into a samurai family, Liutenant Sakuda is likely part of the upper class.

 She dislikes crooked things and was raised by her respected military mother and sister, who taught her about justice and reason.

 Having been excellent since her student days, Liutenant Sakuda joins the military, following in the footsteps of her mother and sister.

 Sakuda, who achieved great success in the military, was sent to a certain military school related to his mother and sister.

 Here, Sakuda met Yuuki.

 ’Sakuda, your first mission. Go to room 105 and deliver this.’

 Ordered by Colonel Yuuki, Sakuda went to the dormitory in the basement of the military school and visited room 105.

 The person who came out was someone unexpected.

 ”Kohina-senpai!?”

 I was so surprised that I accidentally shouted.

 No, no, I’ve seen all the movies with Kohina-senpai in them, but I didn’t know about this one!?

 ”This movie has complicated distribution rights, and it hasn’t been released on any streaming service or physical media. You can barely see it if you find the original film. Plus, at that time, Yukari wasn’t Kohina Yukari yet; she was just a minor role. But this was Yukari’s debut work.”

 This was Kohina-senpai’s debut work…

 How old was she, middle school or high school? Looking closely, she still had a youthful face.

 ’What?’

 ’Colonel Yuuki sent you this.’

 ’Give it to me.’

 ’Ah! Hey!’

 The girl played by Kohina-senpai took the envelope from Sakuda and immediately slammed the door shut.

 Huh? Is that it for her appearance?

 Sakuda continued to work as a teacher at the military school, but she couldn’t stop thinking about the girl she met on her first day.

 ’Hatano? Oh, that guy probably died.’

 ’Huh?’

 Before she knew it, one by one, people were disappearing from the school.

 This was also ordered by Colonel Yuuki, starting with the students to whom she had handed the envelope containing the orders…

 One day, Liutenant Sakuda opened an envelope that she was told never to open.

 ’What is this?’

 Inside were only mysterious codes and numbers.

 Liutenant Sakuda couldn’t understand their meaning.

 She started to think back to her time at military school.

 She had been in charge of general education classes, and she didn’t know what the girls were doing in other classes.

 Feeling suspicious, Liutenant Sakuda began to investigate not just the military school, but also her family home where her mother lived, and the dorm where her sister stayed.

 As a result, Liutenant Sakuda learned the true purpose of the military school.

 This marked the end of Liutenant Sakuda’s long recollection.

 ’Colonel Yuuki. Liutenant Sakuda has escaped from the reflection room.’

 ’I see.’

 After escaping from the reflection room, Sakuda headed for the basement of the military school.

 There, she found only young girls.

 ’Come on, let’s get out of here! You don’t need to risk your lives for this ridiculous adult game!!’

 No one moved to leave at Liutenant Sakuda’s words.

 In fact, everyone shot cold glances at her.

 ’It’s useless, Liutenant Sakuda. All the girls here, even if they are children, are here by their own choice.’

 ’Colonel Yuuki…!’

 As Colonel Yuuki passed by Liutenant Sakuda, she gently pulled one girl close.

 ’Misono, I heard your little sister is already 8 years old. She seemed very lively.’

 ’Thank you! It’s all thanks to Colonel Yuuki! So please, please don’t do anything to my sister!’

 Colonel Yuuki pulled another girl close.

 ’Katagiri, your mom said she wants to see you.’

 ’H-huh…! No, no, no. Colonel Yuuki, you promised that if I stayed here, my mother would stay in solitary confinement forever, right!?’

 ’Of course, that’s true. That’s why I told you it wouldn’t work as long as you behave.’

 ’Thank you. Thank you. I’ll do anything, I’ll do anything!’

 I see…

 To put it simply, this Colonel Yuuki is a scumbag.

 She probably has control over the girls by holding their weaknesses and taking their families hostage.

 Sakuda realizes this and gets furious.

 ’Yuukiii!!! How can you control these girls, take away their freedom, and use them as tools for human experiments? That’s outrageous! Where’s the justice and reason in that!!’

 ’Sakuda!!! How dare you speak to your superior like that! Do you think a country runs on justice and reason? Other countries do the same thing! What are you complaining about now!!’

 Lieutenant Sakuda and Colonel Yuuki start fighting.

 It’s rare to see these two in an action scene.

 After a fierce exchange of blows, it’s Lieutenant Sakuda who kneels first.

 ’Sakuda, think again. Who will be saved by your selfish sense of justice? Who can you save? That’s why you’re just a naive kid!!’

 Lieutenant Sakuda stands up and wipes the blood from her lips with her arm.

 ’It’s the children who will live in the future! I’m saving them, no one else. The future of this country and the children who will live in that future!!’

 Sakuda takes an envelope from the inside pocket of her jacket and throws it at Colonel Yuuki.

 ’That letter contains detailed accounts of the human experiments done using the girls’ bodies. Colonel Yuuki, don’t you recognize that girl?’

 ’Ah, ah, ah…’

 I see, just like Colonel Yuuki had taken the girls hostage, Colonel Yuuki herself had her daughter taken hostage by the mastermind of this plan.

 However, it seems that her daughter had already been used as a tool for human experimentation and died during the process.

 When the documents were displayed on the screen, it said “gender reassignment surgery before secondary sexual characteristics.”

 ’Colonel Yuuki, for your deceased daughter, there must still be something you can do.’

 ’Liutenant Sakuda… I…’

 Colonel Yuuki then collapsed forward.

 ’Huh?’

 A close-up of the knife stuck in Colonel Yuuki’s back appeared. It was a fatal wound.

 ’What?’

 In the next moment, Sakuda fell down as well. She too was stabbed in the back, the knife piercing her heart, and she died instantly.

 In the fading light of life, Sakuda stared at the girl who had stabbed her.

 Ah, it’s Kohina-senpai. She survived…

 I stared at the end credits with my mouth wide open.

 ”What? Wait, is this the end?”

 ”It leaves a bad aftertaste, right?”

 ”Ah, yes. That’s part of it, but…”

 It feels like it just cuts off, or rather, it feels very incomplete as a movie.

 It ended right at the point where it felt like it was just getting started.

 ”Earlier, I mentioned that the rights to this movie are complicated. Actually, this movie ran out of funding halfway through, and the distributor went bankrupt. So, the place that got stiffed on the debt thought they could recover something by releasing it in this state, but Mikuni-sama’s office couldn’t allow such a half-finished movie to be shown widely, right? That’s why it couldn’t be shown in big theaters and was only released in this rundown cinema.”

 No way…

 I stared at the end credits with a strange feeling, thinking about the dark side of the industry.

 Yukishiro Mikuni and Mutsumiya Seijuu were cast, and the script was by Shimizu Kisuka-sensei, who is known for “Hara o Kiru (Commit Seppuku).”

 It made me feel even more uneasy, wondering if this movie was actually filmed properly until the end.

 ”Sorry for the rundown movie theater. You’re starting to look more and more like that shortie.”

 ”Auntie, please don’t say that!”

 ”Hehehe, well, it’s true. Everyone’s watching Heaven’s Sword, and our place is empty. Anyway, I should close up soon and go watch Heaven’s Sword too. Oh, Aqua-sama, could you please sign here? This old lady is begging you for a lifetime favor.”

 ”Uh, sure.”

 Huh? There’s a signature on this board.

 Hmm, it feels like I’ve seen it somewhere before.

 ”That’s Yukari’s signature. It’s her first one in life.”

 ”That shortie said, ‘One day, I’ll be a big star, so you should be grateful,’ and just wrote it without asking. What a troublesome kid.”

 H-Haha…

 I can easily imagine that situation, and it makes me feel a bit weird.

 I write my signature next to Kohina-senpai’s. Hmm, if my signature is bigger, she might complain, so I’ll make it about the same size. Alright, this should be good.

 Ako-san and I thank Grandma and leave the theater.

 ”Okay, Aqua-kun, what should we do now?”

 ”Since we’re at it, how about we go to Tomarigi?”

 ”Sure!”

 I put Ako-san on the back of my bike and head to Tomarigi, where we first met.

 This is how I enjoyed my summer vacation today.
