Retro Hero (1) - 19

Millennium, the most advanced science city in Kivotos.

 

 

Arriving at Millennium, Sensei was in awe of the city's scenery.

 

 

"Ohhhhhhhh...! This really feels like a city of the future!"

 

 

{What should I say~ It's like a high school girl who just came to Tokyo from the countryside~}

 

 

"Hehe, it really does feel like that! Now then, let's hurry to Millennium Science School! Full speed ahead!"

 

 

With overflowing energy and excitement, Sensei dashes through the streets. Seeing a bicycle approaching from the side, Sensei doesn't stop, but instead jumps over it. She leaps forward the moment she lands and continues running.

 

 

Laughing cheerfully as she runs, Sensei goes from the train station to the campus in an instant. Since she looked like Reisa, she should have gone through entry procedures, but thanks to Schale's authority, she just runs through the checkpoint, and a "high-pass" indicator appears.

 

 

"This is Millennium Science School! The Game Development Department's club room is... that way!"

 

 

After briefly looking at the campus map, Sensei immediately runs towards the club room.

 

 

As she does, she passes by some students in maid outfits...... but Sensei was already focused on the Game Development Department and didn't notice them.

 

 

"......"

 

 

"What's wrong, Akane?"

 

 

"No... That uniform, it's definitely Trinity's uniform..."

 

 

C&C.

 

 

Neru, who was walking along the street, asked Akane, who was staring at Sensei as she passed by. Akane recognized that Sensei's uniform was one of Trinity General School's uniforms and tilted her head. The fact that a Trinity student had come to Millennium gave her a sense of foreboding.

 

 

Anyway, Sensei ran for several kilometers without rest and arrived at the Game Development Department's club room. Normally, Sensei would knock first...

 

 

Bang!

 

 

"Hello!"

 

 

Sensei just bursts through the door. And what she saw was...... as the name suggests, a flystation, was flying towards her.

 

 

But Sensei's eyes flashed, and she smirks.

 

 

Whoosh!

 

 

Taking quick steps, Sensei dodges with such speed that she leaves an afterimage. The flystation crashes into the wall and breaks.

 

 

"Waaaaah! Our Flystation!!!"

 

 

"It was an unexpected attack, but I dodged it so easily!"

 

 

 

Reisa looks proud even after hearing Momoi's cry. Midori also sighs, seeing the broken flystation, but greets Reisa, whom she's seeing for the first time.

 

 

"Nice to meet you. But who are you? You don't seem to be a Millennium student."

 

 

"Hehe, are you curious about my identity? If you're curious, it's only polite to tell you! I'm Sensei from Schale."

 

 

After introducing herself with high energy, Sensei politely bows when revealing his identity. Midori looked like she couldn't believe that the person in front of her was Sensei. Still, she lets her into the club room and retrieves the broken flystation.

 

 

"Should we ask the Engineering Department to fix this?"

 

 

"But Midori! If we do that, our fly station might get some weird features! Like glowing when it turns on, or suddenly flying off like a rocket!"

 

 

"That's scary because there's a possibility..... Anyway, nice to meet you, Sensei. I'm Saiba Midori."

 

 

"I'm Saiba Momoi! The enemy of the fly-station, but I'll have to endure it!"

 

 

"No, you're the one who threw it."

 

 

And so, the first meeting with the Saiba sisters was, as expected, chaotic.

 

 

"I roughly know the reason for the Game Development Department's disbandment. It's also related to Millennium's recent changes in regulations, right?"

 

 

"Yeah, that's right. You know about it, after all. They said they're cutting down on budget waste, and they pointed out our lack of members and notified us of closure. There's still a grace period, so we have to do something by then..."

 

 

"We tried to recruit members, but maybe we need more games..."

 

 

"I see. As far as I know, the Game Development Department has three members. Since four is the minimum, it's a natural course of action. Moreover......"

 

 

Millennium's newly changed regulations, and the disbandment of clubs without results. Having looked into the Game Development Department's performance before coming to Millennium, Sensei thought that even if they met the member requirement, they would be disbanded if they didn't produce results. Of course, that's that, and now the priority was recruiting the minimum number of members.

 

 

"So! I have an idea. We just need to make a great game!"

 

 

"A great game?"

 

 

"Sister, not this again."

 

 

"This is for real, Midori! The rumor that the G Bible is in the Millennium Ruins, it must be true!"

 

 

The legendary G Bible supposedly holds the secret to making great games. Momoi wanted to find it and use it to make a great game in the Game Development Department to recruit members. Sensei wasn't sure what it was, but she agreed with Momoi's idea for now.

 

 

"That's a great idea! Let's go find it right away!"

 

 

"As expected of Sensei~ You know what's up! We're going to the ruins right away, Midori!"

 

 

"Haa...... Well, let's go."

 

 

Midori, being the most normal one, sighed, but since there was no other plan, they all headed to the Millennium Ruins together.

 

 

"This really is a ruin, huh?!"

 

 

"Yeah... It's my first time coming here too."

 

 

"Hehe, I did some research beforehand! Of course, I only looked around the entrance... There are robots roaming around here, so it's important to sneak in without getting caught. Everyone, follow m──"

 

 

The moment Momoi took the lead, she was spotted by the robots. From the start, Momoi attracted the attention of the robots and panicked. As Midori clicked her tongue and quickly ran to help Momoi, an afterimage passed by her.

 

 

Thud thud thud!!!

 

 

"S-Sensei...?"

 

 

Sensei stands in front of Momoi, taking the robots' bullets with her body. Of course, thanks to Arona's protection, all the bullets are deflected.

 

 

"From here on, it's Super Hero Time!"

 

 

Sensei's eyes sparkle as she runs forward.

 

 

"So fast!"

 

 

Momoi admires her speed as Sensei runs quickly, firing her gun. The robots hit by her bullets fall, and Sensei takes out a grenade from her pocket. She pulls the pin and throws it into the air, then kicks it.

 

 

The grenade explodes among the robots that are running towards them, and Sensei makes a gesture.

 

 

"This way!"

 

 

Sensei quickly takes the Saiba sisters and runs to a building to avoid the robots.

 

 

After escaping to a building, Sensei takes a breather.

 

 

"It looks like we lost them since the robots aren't coming!"

 

 

"Sister......"

 

 

"S-Sorry... I didn't think I'd get caught right away either!?"

 

 

"Hehe, should we look around here first?"

 

 

Sensei decides to look around the building they entered first. The three of them walk inside... Then, they hear a voice.

 

 

{Identity verification initiated. Identity... Saiba Momoi, Saiba Midori. Identity verification failed.}

 

 

It was a voice saying no to Momoi and Midori. And...

 

 

{Verifying the subject's identity. Uzawa Reisa.........? Error, physical, and bio-readings are different. Rescanning...... Uzawa Reisa? Error, error.}

 

 

"Uzawa Reisa...? Ah, that's this student's name. I'm Sensei from Schale, though?"

 

 

{......Voiceprint confirmed. Rescanning bio-readings...... Authorization confirmed. Granting entry authority to Sensei. Recognizing Saiba Momoi and Saiba Midori as Sensei's students. Granting authorization to companions.}

 

 

"Oh my, have you been here before, Sensei? And who is this Uzawa Reisa?"

 

 

"Haha... I have a lot to tell you. But for now..."

 

 

Sensei is troubled by Midori's questions. Soon, a voice says that the lower level door is opening... and the floor opens.

 

 

"Waaaaah!? We're falling!"

 

 

"S-Sister!"

 

 

"Hehe, this is also an adventure! It's just as I expected, Momoi!"

 

 

 

 

"This isn't what I expected!?"

 

 

The three of them fell. Like students of Kivotos, they were fine even after the fall.

 

 

"Hmm, this is......?"

 

 

"Do you know where this is, Sensei?"

 

 

"I don't!"

 

 

"Ah, thanks for the answer."

 

 

"Hmm... I see something shining in the front! Let's hurry, Midori!"

 

 

Momoi and Sensei run towards something they see, and Midori sighs and follows.

 

 

And when they arrived, a naked girl was lying on a huge chair.

 

 

{Status change, contact permission subject detected, releasing from sleep mode.}

 

 

The moment Sensei reaches out her hand, the girl slowly opens her eyes along with the voice. The text AL-1S appeared, but Momoi called her Alice.

 

 

Momoi gives the girl, who seems to not know what's going on, some of her spare clothes to wear.

 

 

"Could this have been a human trafficking site!"

 

 

"Ehhh!? Is that it!?"

 

 

"I don't think so, Sensei......"

 

 

Midori felt like there were two Momois.
