Volume 13 Chapter 429 Shirogane Yui, Hogewave Research Institute Defense Battle.


Edited by: Kanaa-senpai


 A few days after Aa-sama and the others headed toward Meteorite.

 I, employed at the National Confidentiality Bureau, was in the midst of a flurry of activity with my superior, Amakusa Shikimi-san, housing the sperm collected from men across the country into the underground shelter of the Hogewave Research Institute.


 ”Okinawa block officer. What is the status of the remaining sperm housing!?”

 ”I have just received the final shipment!!”

 ”The Hokkaido block’s final shipment seems to be slightly delayed!”

 ”Hey, someone. Has the count for the Shimane block been verified?”


 I rush through the flurry of my colleagues’ frantic work and enter the room housing my desk.

 I have not slept much these past few days, but that is hardly my burden alone.

 Everyone here is striving for the future of this nation.

 As I sink into my chair, someone approaches immediately.


 ”Excuse me. I have brought the list of men currently evacuated in each shelter.”

 ”Thank you. Please, just leave it there. I will verify it later.”


 I open the Sperm Preservation Project database to check our overall progress.

 The current project progress rate is at 86%, far exceeding the 73% projection.

 At this rate, we should be able to secure all the samples by the deadline.

 I close the database and attend to the emails awaiting in my inbox.

 While occupied, another person enters the room.


 ”Sorry, do you have a moment?”

 ”Of course.”


 I rise from my chair and share a firm, grounding hug with my friend, who is also my peer.


 ”I’m sorry… at a time like this.”


 Her voice is thick with tears, and her back trembles slightly.

 She is a fellow Sperm Extraction Officer; she was proposed to by the man under her charge during this incident, and they are now scheduled to evacuate to the same shelter.


 ”There is nothing to apologize for when the news is this joyous.”


 I pat her back gently, rhythmically.


 ”Please, just be happy.”

 ”Thank you…”


 I wipe the tears1 pooling in her eyes, just as Aa-sama once did for me.

 You are destined for happiness now—you have no need for any tears other than tears of joy, do you?

 She stares at me, her expression bordering on a sob.


 ”Yui, don’t push yourself too hard.”

 ”I’m fine. I have the other brides as well.”


 I place both hands on my waist and try to appear indomitable, much like Kohina Yukari-san.


 ”More importantly, be careful on your way. Japan may be peaceful compared to other nations, but there is no guarantee that something won’t happen.”

 ”Yeah, I’m fine. Yui, you be careful, too. In this sense, this is one of the most dangerous places in all of Japan.”


 I offer a smile in response to her concern.

 It is true that this is a dangerous place, but the defense measures are equally robust.


 ”…We’ll meet again, right?”

 ”Of course. Once this is over, I promise.”


 After seeing her off, I turn my gaze toward the plushie of Aa-sama sitting on my desk.

 Aa-sama… have I managed to become even a little as strong as you?

 When I heard from Agewa-san that Aa-sama and the others were heading to destroy Meteorite, my heart nearly stopped.

 …No, I am not alone in that.

 Everyone present suppressed their agitation and listened to the news in silence.

 I, too, truly wish to hide in my room and weep in bed.

 But, I met Aa-sama, and I have bid farewell to that fragile self.

 Because I was entrusted by Aa-sama with this work—the mission to connect humanity to the future.

 I lift my head slightly, noticing a sudden clamor outside.

 What on earth has happened?

 I exit my room and approach the television where everyone has congregated.


 ’Repeating. We have received urgent reports that the launch base in Alaska is under attack. Uh, this information is currently being verified, and… ah, it appears footage from the site is coming in.’


 The television screen cuts to the Alaska base, now transformed into a battlefield.

 Witnessing this, I am struck with disbelief, unable to grasp the situation.

 What could possibly be happening?


 ’Ah, we have a follow-up report. It appears the attacks are not limited to Alaska; the Astrakhan site in the Far East Federation, where the rocket launch site is located, as well as the Guiana base managed by the Stars, are also under assault!’


 A government high-ranking bureaucrat approaches me.


 ”Each country has been developing large-capacity space shuttles in case the Meteorite destruction mission fails. This is likely an act of sabotage—no, a terror plot. It is likely the remnants of the Women’s Mutual Aid Society extremists, whose existence was revealed to the world by President Maitrix of the States, are involved. It also seems some heinous criminals have escaped from the prisons where they were held.”


 I listen to her whisper while staring transfixed at the TV screen.

 At a time when all of humanity must unite, what on earth are they thinking?

 I want to save as many people as possible. With so many working toward that very goal, how can some be so driven to inflict harm and take lives?


 ’Uh, a follow-up report. It is not just the rocket launch sites! Underground shelters and vital facilities worldwide appear to be simultaneous, coordinated attacks!!’


 The footage cuts to show soldiers in an underground shelter fighting back.

 That is not all. It shows harrowing scenes of inmates from prisons where explosions occurred, now transformed into mobs.


 ’Here is a follow-up. Attacks have been confirmed at a venue in the States where female idols from across the globe gathered for a live performance!! We have currently lost contact with Japan representatives Tsukimachi Ayana-san and Kato Iria-san, who are participating in this live event, which originated from Nekoyama Subaru-san’s project.’


 Startled by this news, I immediately raise my voice.


 ”Everyone! Stay alert!! This is not distant news happening in a foreign country; this is our reality!!”


 Everyone is stunned by my outburst.

 I worry for Ayana-san and Iria-san, but I must remain focused on my duty.

 As I move to contact security, a violent tremor makes me lose my footing and stumble.


 ’Emergency Alert! A rocket launcher has hit the outer wall of the Hogewave Research Institute. I repeat. A rocket launcher has hit the outer wall of the Hogewave Research Institute. Staff must immediately evacuate to the designated zones and seal the shelter hatches.’


 I grasp the handrail, regain my balance, and shout instructions for everyone to evacuate underground.

 They scramble, gathering essential documents as they head for the shelter.

 I return to my room, retrieve the authentication device from my PC, and pocket it.

 As I gather my own papers, Chief Amakusa enters.


 ”Yui-san, hurry!”

 ”No, I will remain until everyone has evacuated, then I will head to the shelter. Chief Amakusa, you must get underground immediately!”


 I gaze at the security monitor nearby.

 It displays the security team fighting back at the entrance.

 I spot the friend I parted with only moments ago among them.


 ”Why!?”


 I realize—because they were attacked before they could depart, they were trapped.

 I press my lips into a thin, resolute line and tremble with rage.

 Why? Why are there people who do such things?

 Aa-sama and the others are working so hard for the sake of everyone in the world!!

 I start walking toward the main gate to rescue my friend.


 ”Yui-san, wait!!”

 ”I will not! Even if it is a direct order from you, Chief Amakusa!!”


 Who has the right to steal happiness from those destined for it?

 I will never forgive them, even if it were God Himself.

 I step out of the Hogewave Research Institute, approach the main gate, and shout with all my might.


 ”Stop this at once!!”


 I had never shouted with such intensity, and I was shocked by the volume of my own voice.

 Perhaps startled, the attackers pause their assault.

 No… that was not why they stopped.

 A familiar face slowly steps forward.


 ”Long time no see. Yui.”


 Why is he here? He should be detained in a prison in the States.

 The bureaucrat’s words flash through my mind.


 [It seems that some heinous criminals have escaped from the prisons where they were held.]


 I see. I finally understand why he is here.


 ”Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten your own father’s face, have you?”


 Jay H. Barnes… He, whom I am told is my biological father, wears a sneering grin.


 ”Hahahaha, what an unfilial daughter! Who do you think created you!? Not a single day has passed since that day that I haven’t thought of you!!”


 He clenches his fists, his eyes burning with murderous intent.

 Yet, the next moment, his expression shifts to something nauseatingly gentle.

 It is so repulsive I almost recoil.


 ”Well, no matter.”


 He surveys the surroundings with a slow, predatory gaze.


 ”As you can see, you are at your wits’ end. Come, Yui. Open the way, unless you want to see them slaughtered. Do that, and I might just spare your lives. I am far more merciful than your Shirogane Aqua! Hah!!”


 Who—who on earth—is kinder than Aa-sama?

 Aa-sama would never inflict harm on anyone!!

 I look toward Chief Amakusa.

 She meets my gaze and nods firmly.


 ”Even if we are at our wits’ end, even if we know we will lose, we will fight. Not to harm others, but to defend the future of this world!!”


 He erupts in laughter at my defiance.

 The next moment, he raises his hand toward the terrorists.


 ”Fine. Then, all of you shall die!!”


 At his signal, the terrorists raise their guns in unison.


 ”Wait!” Chief Amakusa cried out, her voice straining against the sudden chaos. “Yui-san, you cannot face them alone!”


 ”I have to, Chief,” I replied, my voice steady despite the adrenaline coursing through me. “If I don’t, who will?”


 Jay H. Barnes sneered, his eyes tracing the line of my body with a look that made my skin crawl. “Look at you, playing the hero. It’s pathetic, really. You were always such a fragile little thing, weren’t you?”


 ”I am not who I was back then,” I countered, standing firm as the terrorists leveled their weapons. “And I certainly won’t let you turn this place into a graveyard for those who are just trying to live.”


 ”Is that so?” Barnes chuckled, a low, guttural sound that lacked any warmth. “Then let’s see how long that resolve lasts when the lead starts flying.”


 He gestured dismissively toward his men, who tightened their fingers on the triggers.


 ”Chief Amakusa,” I said, barely glancing back, “get the others to the lower levels. Now!”


 ”Yui-san, don’t do this—” she began, but I cut her off.


 ”Go! That’s an order!”


 As she retreated, I turned my focus back to the man who shared my blood but not my soul. “You think you’re so powerful, don’t you? Breaking out of prison, bringing your pathetic band of radicals to stop the future. You’re not a revolutionary; you’re just a bully who’s afraid of a world that doesn’t revolve around his own selfishness.”


 Barnes’s face darkened, the fake gentleness evaporating instantly. “You little brat. I’ll make sure you’re the first one to regret those words.”


 ”Then do it,” I challenged, bracing myself as the tension in the air snapped.


 The first shot rang out, a sharp crack against the concrete walls. I dove behind a reinforced pillar just as a spray of gunfire chewed into the stone where I had been standing. The sound was deafening, a chaotic symphony of violence that echoed through the institute.


 ”Keep them pinned!” I heard Barnes bark, his voice commanding and cruel.


 I pulled the authentication device from my pocket, knowing it was the only leverage I had left, and looked for an opening. The security team at the entrance was still fighting, their suppressive fire keeping the bulk of the terrorists at bay, but they were vastly outnumbered.


 ”Come on,” I whispered to myself, watching the rhythm of the enemy’s fire. “Give me one chance.”


 A window of opportunity opened when a stray explosion from the gate diverted their focus. I surged from behind the pillar, firing back with the service pistol I’d grabbed from the guard station. My hand didn’t shake. I wasn’t fighting for myself anymore; I was fighting for the lives of every man in that shelter, and for the hope that Aa-sama had left in our care.


 ”I won’t let you!” I screamed, the words lost in the roar of the battle, but the sentiment fueling every movement.


 Barnes saw me, his eyes widening for a fraction of a second before he dived for cover. “Kill her! I want her head!”


 The firefight intensified, the air thick with the smell of cordite and ozone. I moved with a precision I didn’t know I possessed, feeling the weight of every choice I’d made leading to this moment. I wasn’t just a clerk anymore; I was the wall standing between them and the future.


 ”You’re not going to win,” I whispered, pressing my back against the cold, vibrating wall. “Not today.”


 I took a good look at the surroundings and realized, even though I’ve never really been in a fight before, this was definitely a losing battle. I had to buy as much time as I could for everyone to get out of here. I reached into my pocket and pulled out the strange device Emily had given me.


 ”Yui,” Emily had said, “if some idiot starts pulling a gun on you, use this thing without a second thought. Just be careful—it’s going to kill our weapons too, and the range is only a few hundred meters.”2


 I have no clue what she meant by that, but I’m putting all my chips on this device Emily trusted me with. I clicked the button.


 ”Hey, what are you clowns doing? Open fire already!” one of the terrorists yelled.


 They mashed their triggers, but their muzzles stayed cold. Nothing happened.


 ”Give me that!” another guy shouted. He snatched a rifle from a teammate, leveled it at me, and pulled the trigger.


 Honestly, he just keeps disappointing me. He really didn’t hesitate to pull the trigger on his own flesh and blood. I never expected much from you, but you’ve managed to put more distance between us than anyone else in this world.


 ”Ugh! Grab that thing she’s holding! Just swarm them!”


 They started rushing us. I managed to avoid a gunfight, but now we had a real problem: they were going to overwhelm our security line with pure numbers.


 ”Yui, get behind me!” Chief Amakusa stepped in front of me, spreading her arms wide to act as a human shield.


 ”Go! Take that device!” Several women leaped toward us. Just then, a familiar motorcycle soared over the barricade.


 ”R-Rihito!”

 ”Sorry, Shikimi. Kept you waiting!”


 Rihito hopped off the bike, took out the attackers in a heartbeat, and loosened his tie. Then, he looked up and started shouting.


 ”You! I finally found you! Because of you, I’ve had to…!”


 Rihito tilted his head, looking completely confused by the guy’s rage. (Wait, seriously? He doesn’t even remember?) I guess I finally get why Aa-sama says Rihito is such a space cadet. But the guy didn’t know that—he just thought Rihito was mocking him, and he completely lost it.


 ”You think you can make a fool out of me like that!?”


 Rihito dodged the charge easily. Then, using the momentum from his spin, he landed a palm strike right in the guy’s solar plexus.


 ”Ugh!” Rihito groaned, clutching his own chest, looking like he was the one in pain.


 ”Hah! How’s that? My body’s basically made of steel!” The guy blew Rihito away and ripped off his coat. We all gasped.


 ”Surprised? It’s a Heaven’s Sword-type Powered Suit. I just upgraded it with the tech you guys are wasting,” the guy sneered. He’d actually fused his own flesh with the machinery. “I really should thank you. You’ve given me the perfect chance for revenge!”


 The tide shifted. Rihito had the martial arts skills, but he kept getting launched by that ridiculous power.


 ”Rihito!” Chief Amakusa rushed over to him, looking panicked.


 ”I’m… I’m good,” Rihito grunted, trying to drag himself back to his feet.


 The guy just laughed. “It’s pointless, why can’t you get that? Even that Meteorite collision? Does he really think he can stop that? He’s just running away to space, right?”


 That really ticked me off. “Wrong! Aa-sama is not like that at all!” I don’t want someone like you talking about the person I care about most. It seemed like I wasn’t the only one who felt that way.


 ”You don’t know the first thing about him,” Rihito said, standing back up with a faint smile.


 ”Yeah, for real,” a voice called out. A boy walked over to us.


 ”If he were that kind of guy,” the boy said, ruffling his own hair, “the people who went to space with him and the girls around him wouldn’t be having such a rough time, would they?”


 ”Who the hell are you!?” the terrorist demanded.


 ”Me? Let’s just say I’m the guy you could’ve been. Or maybe I’m the guy who used to be you,” the boy replied.


 The terrorist just stared at him, totally lost. Same here.


 ”Anyway, my intro doesn’t really matter. Hey, old man Bernard.”


 A foreign guy stepped out from behind the boy. I recognized him—Leticia’s father. Bernard took one look at the terrorist and shook his head.


 ”Jay H. Barnes… you’re a total scumbag. Trying to lay a hand on your own daughter? As a father, that’s just gross. Watch your back.”


 Barnes just laughed. “Hahaha! What are you gonna do, huh? With this power gap? You’re just two more guys, that’s all!”


 ”It ain’t just two,” the boy replied.


 I looked around; more and more guys were walking out from behind the terrorists. Chief Amakusa and I just stood there in shock.


 ”What is this? Who are you people!? Why are there so many guys here!?”


 A built guy at the front crossed his arms and grinned. “That’s obvious, ain’t it?”


 (Is that… Kaede’s dad?) The suit next to him pointed a finger at the sky. “He taught us what really matters.”


 Over a hundred guys stopped in perfect synchronization. I spotted even more familiar faces—Tsuwabuki, Kamonohashi, even Akami.


 ”We ain’t just sitting around being protected by the girls anymore,” one of them said.

 ”If the women are gonna fight for us, we’re gonna fight for them, too.”

 ”Aqua-senpai and the others are crushing it in space. Who wouldn’t be fired up by that? Hey, you two!”


 Two motorcycles roared over the obstacles. Two guys in new, upgraded Powered Suits stepped off and looked at the crowd.


 ”Everyone… you actually came?”


 ”Showing up when a teammate’s in a pinch? That’s just common sense, bro,” I heard Yamada yell.

 ”Don’t sleep on the bonds of the male bulletin board users!”3

 ”Yeah, if you guys are going to do it, we’re in too!”

 ”Besides, Aqua-kun and everyone else are going all-out. We can’t just be hiding in the shadows!”


 (The male bulletin board…) the secret forum for guys that nobody else can see. That didn’t matter right now. I started to tell them to evacuate because it was too dangerous, but Rihito held up a hand to stop me.


 ”Save your breath. They aren’t stopping now.” Rihito, even covered in blood, was smiling as he watched the guys gathering.


 ”Why? I don’t get it!” the terrorist screamed. “What’s Shirogane Aqua to you? He’s just another guy like us, right!?”


 Yamada and Kujaku looked at each other. “People like you, who only think with their brains? You’ll never get it. Ever.”


 Yamada stuck a thumb to his chest. “It’s about what’s in our hearts. The heat Aqua-san lit in us when we were empty. It’s been smoldering the whole time. Don’t settle for the status quo. Keep the fire burning. Become the person you actually want to be… that’s why we’re doing this!”


 (Ah… Aa-sama.) I have so much to tell you when you get back. The fire you started wasn’t for nothing.


 ”Damn it! DAMN IT ALL!” The guy lunged at them.


 ”Let’s go, Maruo!”

 ”Yeah, Kujaku!”


 They moved with the same perfect, insane synchronization they show us every morning. The terrorists were completely stunned.


 ”You know how this ends, right, Maruo?”

 ”Obviously! Let’s do it, Kujaku!”


 I clenched my fist against my chest. (Go. Beat the hell out of him!)


 ”DRIVER KICK!”


 They hit him dead-on in his vital spot. The guy let out a death rattle, his eyes rolled back, and he passed out on the spot, foaming at the mouth. Every guy in the crowd instinctively crossed their legs.


 ”Ah, crap. Missed,” Kujaku said.

 ”Are you serious? I was aiming for that the whole time,” Maruo replied.


 Yamada pulled off his helmet and just stared at him. The terrorists, seeing their leader go down, realized the fight was over and stopped moving. A boy ran over and hugged my friend, holding her tight. (So that’s how it was.) He must’ve called for help on the board, and these guys actually showed up.


 Chief Amakusa leaned on Rihito as she walked over to me. “Yui, let’s shore up our defenses while we can.”

 ”Right. We have no idea if another raid is coming. Let’s get the injured treated.”


 The guys started helping us out. (Aa-sama, please leave this place to us. I’m going to protect this, even if it costs me everything.) I looked up toward space, solidified my resolve, and got back to work.

 Translation Notes:

1 In Japanese culture, the act of wiping away someone’s tears often carries a weight of intimacy and shared burden, emphasizing the protector-protected dynamic.

2 The translation specifies meters to localize the Japanese distance concept for English readers.

3 An online forum culture in Japan that serves as a closed space for men to vent and build camaraderie, here functioning as a catalyst for collective action.
