###britain

Furthermore, I will consider the friendly relations Academy City currently maintains
with Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and making similar judgments. If Academy
City continues to insist on selfishly pursuing their own interests and, moreover, ignoring
the plight of all outside forms of life, I shall recognize them as an enemy. For our
posterity and the posterity of all future generations, we shall fight them wholeheartedly.

###russian pilot

Despite being with Russia, the side that should have had the overwhelming advantage,
Ekalielya A. Pronskaya, a female Russian Air Force pilot, was aware of sweat spreading
below her gloves that were gripping the stick. The sweat was not from excitement. It was
clearly a cold sweat.

###prefix revealed

“(…Hard Science, hm?)” Ekalielya muttered under her breath in annoyance.
Apparently, the “Hs” initials given to Academy City’s weapons referred to the fact that
they swept away all sorts of mystical darkness with the power of science.

###hfs-00s

Their enemies were called HsF-00s. They were Academy City supersonic fighters.
Because they used the frame of the HsB-02 supersonic bombers, the fighters were
almost eighty meters long. They were currently sweeping over the Sea of Japan at a
tremendous speed of over 7,000 kph.

There were only ten of them.
Only ten HsF-00s were deployed over the entire Sea of Japan.
With their overwhelming speed of over 7,000 kph and their overwhelming range with
the weaponry installed, a single HsF-00 could maintain air superiority over a huge area.

“If you’re thinking of going into a marathon battle, think again. My craft uses the
frictional heat on the armor surface as energy. In other words, it gets more efficient the
faster it goes. That can reduce its consumption of fuel by up to ninety percent.”

###response

“Did you hear their official response to the proclamation of war? They said there is no
need for them to enter into the killing, but they don’t believe it’s right to sit by watching
when they possess the power needed to stop the war and the tragedy. But they’re clearly
intending to start killing!!”

###resupply

As she heard those words, Ekalielya saw something odd in the corner of her vision. One
of the smaller crafts let loose a missile without igniting it and another of the same crafts
flew by and caught the missile in a joint in its wing. It had resupplied.
They started passing metal boxes filled with machine gun ammunition, as well. As they
flew past each other in something similar to aerial acrobatics, a tentacle-like tube
stretched out from one and it refueled. The entire process looked something like
juggling and Ekalielya would never have thought it possible in a high-speed flight.
By preparing a special midair refueling craft, they didn’t have to return to base.
And by constructing a resupply network continuing through the sky from the base to the
battlefield, they could stay in the air longer and head to farther distances than normally
would be possible.

###strange movements

And yet the HsF-00s did not even always point their noses forward. They could move
straight forward while the entire craft was angled at ninety degrees and they could spin
around at high speed like a top. Even the very first assumptions did not fit them and it
made one wonder how they managed to maintain their form as aircraft. It was amazing
that they did not come to pieces and that the pilot inside was still alive.

“We didn’t really do much. Basically, the human body cannot withstand a dogfight at
above a certain speed. That makes things simple. If you can strengthen the body, then
you can fly larger and faster fighters.”
“…?”
“*Our bodies have been frozen at minus seventy degrees.* The functions of each organ are
carried out by a life support system and the brain’s decision-making functionality is set
to be the only thing operating. And with a portion of the calculations left to the machine,
the weak electrical signals read from the scalp are used to operate the fighter. …See?
That makes the body ‘harder’ allowing us to exceed the old limits set by inertia.
According to the people on the medical side of things, the partial freezing tech needed to
maintain thoughts while freezing the body was a little tricky.”

###not even killing them

Kameyama Ryuuta only got license to fly plane

“Now that I’ve introduce myself, let’s get down to the issue at hand. It seems all of you
are fine since the missiles were set to detonate at a distance. We were trying to get
creative in order to make sure everyone could escape with their parachutes.”
“!! Are you mocking us…!?”

“Dammit, a female pilot. I’d heard people with smaller frames were quite useful due to
bringing on less inertia, but…damn. Now I have to try even harder not to kill you.”
He seemed to be saying he could easily kill her at any time if he wanted to.
It was a stereotypical way of mocking the weak.

“Those are laser units for attacking an enemy from multiple angles at once,” said
Kameyama, the enemy pilot, as the HsF-00 spun around and the small weapons flew
around like morning stars.
His words were oozing with an obvious sense of leeway and contempt.
“You can’t escape from something moving at the speed of light. Prepare yourself, young
lady, because I’m going to gently shoot you down.”

###hamazura on ground

###car

(…I guess I can’t really complain too much since I stole it, but damn. Maybe it isn’t an
issue with the air conditioner and we’re just not dressed properly. The need for heavy
clothing here is a lot different than in Japan…)

###evacuating

[...] According to the news on the car radio,
Academy City forces had been deployed to help evacuate and defend the facilities that
worked with Academy City within Russia. [...]

###refuel

“The clerk was so thankful she gave me all sorts of stuff!! We even got gas for the car!!”

###notice train

It wasn’t just coming from that one car.
That odd sound that couldn’t be drowned out by the sound of the train racing along
continued to come from various parts of the train. And it wasn’t always the ceiling. It
also came from the walls and below the floor.
At the same time, he heard someone yelling in Russian accompanied by numerous
gunshots.
The yelling quickly turned to screams.

###covering eyes

“What is it? says Misaka as Misaka asks about the situation,” said the young girl.
Accelerator slowly looked down at Last Order who lay on the floor. The #1 pulled a
handkerchief form her pocket, folded it a bit, and placed it over her eyes.
He did not want her to see a blood-stained world.

###lessar upgrade

[...] “And!! My steel
glove has been powered up!! Tah dah!! It’s the Lessar Special Custom! Something like a
red laser comes shooting out allowing the blade ‘fingers’ to grab things at a distant that
it isn’t actually touching when I swing it around!!”

###explanation coup

“It seems the coup d’état in England is being called British Halloween. Just like Nessie
or the Nazca Lines, it’s being treated like one of the seven mysteries of the world or
something. Humans sure are tough. Even when faced with something they can’t
comprehend, they just end up accepting it.”
“Yes, it seems no one has realized that it was actually magic,” said Kanzaki with a sigh.
“But they had a vague idea that Japan’s Academy City is scientifically developing
‘mystical powers’. It’s an entirely different system, but it gave them a bit of a resistance.
Because they knew that kind of thing actually existed somewhere in the world, it was
easier to accept that something similar could exist nearby them.”

###not just sasha

“Fiamma came to Russia to find Sasha Kreutzev, right?”
“Yes, but I don’t know why,” said Kamijou simply raising the white flag at Lessar’s
question. “But if that’s really all he needs, then he wouldn’t have a reason to come here
himself.”
“Eh?”
“He could easily just order the Russian military and the Russian Orthodox Church to
search over the area for her. All Fiamma would have to do is sit in an easy chair in front
of a fireplace and wait for the result. But that isn’t what he did.”
“So there’s…something else?”
“Yes, there’s something that Fiamma has to do himself.”

###alliance

The Elizalina Alliance of Independent Nations was made up of groups that had opposed
Russia’s way of doing things. They had a common currency like the EU and a passport
was not needed for people or goods to travel between them.
Russia had viewed them as a nuisance and had been planning to invade the alliance
once they had a reason even before the war. And now they had a chance to do so in the
confusion of the war.

###ac allies

“But Russia is in the middle of World War III. The military has to be moving all over the
country. I doubt the Russian military expected China and India to side with Academy
City. I bet they’re frantically sending troops in that direction right now. Can you really
find the actions related to Fiamma amid all that chaos?”

###fortresses

Their supersonic bombers could travel through the air at over 7,000 kph. Those
monstrous planes could easily fly right over Russia’s anti-aircraft network and shake off
intercepting fighters using overwhelming speed. A large amount of materiel could be
supplied to the fortress quickly and reliably using them. Thanks to that, the large
country of Russia was already dotted with quickly constructed Academy City fortresses.

###magic activity

At both the front and back of the line of trucks was a carriage pulled by two horses. The
horses were made of silver metal. They weren’t wearing some sort of armor; they truly
were horses made of metal.

“What are those?”
“Oh, has your precious knowledge of the science side run out?”
“I’m not talking about the trucks. Those odd horses are clearly not scientific. Or are you
saying the Russian army independently developed pet horse robots?”
“Hmm. I’d say they’re Russian Orthodox Sleipnirs. I’ve heard they were created to help
cross snowy plains.”
“…So our opponents here really are magicians.”
“Yes, the trucks were probably just borrowed from the army. Magicians might not know
much about cutting edge scientific technology, but they can still drive.”

make easy jk rowling joke

###contents

“It’s probably the villagers.”
“?”
Lessar grabbed the map from Kamijou and pointed towards the general area of the
“suspicious base”.
“The official story is that they hastily put together a base to attack the Elizalina Alliance
from, right? Well, there were probably people living there before the base was made.”
[...]
“And if that line of trucks being guarded by the Sleipnir carriages just continues on past
us, it will reach a concentration camp for political prisoners. I don’t know what pretext
they’re officially being taken there on, but the Russian Orthodox Church must not care
about the villager’s lives to rob them of their homes like this. They may have just forced
everyone out of all the villages in the area in order to use the secretly constructed base.”

###measuring

break car, steal crowbar

He pounded an iron stake into the ground at a bit of a distance and tied a string to it as
well. Seeing him pull the string out tight, Lessar frowned.
(…He’s making a measurement?)
That thought came to her mind because she knew how to make accurate measurements
for the size of different parts of the magic circles needed for large magical rituals.
“What are you doing?”
“You can’t tell? I’m measuring the direction. Well, technically, I’m measuring a flight
path.”
Kamijou stuck a few more stakes into the snow and spread strings out near the ground.

###bombing

Immediately afterwards, flames suddenly burst up on the route Brassa and the others
were heading on.
“!?”
It was only about three hundred meters ahead. Brassa hurriedly ordered the Sleipnirs
pulling the armored carriage to stop. The entire convoy stopped on the road.


“But they’re bombing us with some super weapon from Academy City!! If we get out,
we’ll have nothing protecting us from the blast!!”
“You saw that destructive force just now, didn’t you!? With just the spiritual items we
have on hand, the trucks and carriages will just be blown to pieces!! It’s better to make
sure they can’t target us. If we spread out and hide ourselves on the snow with our white
outfits, our odds of survival go way up!!”

###plan

stab ground grab

“No, I can,” said Lessar as she stabbed the steel glove upside down into the snow and
moved back a few meters. She then sent a bit of magic power to the spiritual item
causing it to “grab” a distant object.
That distant object was the supersonic bomber flying at over 7,000 kph at an altitude of
ten thousand meters.
Immediately afterwards, the steel glove split the Russian ground in two as it was
dragged by the supersonic bomber.

With a tremendous explosive noise, an orange line raced across the white land along the
route of the supersonic bomber. It was roughly three kilometers long. The ground
melted like magma and blew the white snow away. The steel glove must not have been
able to withstand the friction partway through because the line of destruction ended
shortly after the steel glove was torn to pieces.
Lessar was the one that was shocked by this.
“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!? M-m-my steel glove!! That was the one
and only Lessar Special Custom!!”

###still has glove

“…Nnn. The spare parts just aren’t enough to make another Lessar Special Custom. I
guess I have to go back to the old steel glove type. Damn, I should have at least
documented the values for the theory behind the custom. I just happened to put the
parts together right while messing around, so I’m not sure how to get the balance right
again…” [...]

###stealing carriage

###abandoning carriage

###secret route?

“Actually, they might have,” said Kamijou in response to Lessar’s comment that had
been said in a half challenging way. “Like I said before, Fiamma is using the Russian
army, but he isn’t going to tell them the details of his magical plan. He probably just
fooled them into thinking there was a just cause for World War III. If so, he needs to
have a secret route he can use to bring in magical equipment and materials.”

###segue to train

Two train tracks ran side by side into the depths of the cave. A freight train was stopped
there. It had about five cars. Kamijou couldn’t see any kind of power cables, so it may
have used a diesel engine.
“So he’s using this to secretly bring in materials.”

“During the coup d’état, I snuck onto a freight train full of knights in order to get to
Folkestone.”
“Oh, that’s right. Floris told me about that. She said she was ‘definitely going to kick that
Japanese guy’s ass’ the next time she saw you.”

She had realized that her sweat had made her sports shirt slightly transparent. And
visible below it was her small bra that didn’t even look like it covered enough space to
hide the tiny chips a female spy might have.
However, Lessar did not blush and try to cover her breasts with her hands.
“Dammit!! I was saving this secret weapon for a special occasion and now it’s been
wasted!!”

###meeting soldiers

patriarch present, ac taking silos? (this hamazura is after)

“I’m suggesting we think about activating you know what.”
All of them fell silent at that.
They had gone through that argument countless times before. The topic was such a
heavy one that, even after discussing it so many times, they still had not given a
definitive green light for the “you know what”.
Finally someone muttered a few words.
The man was staring at the pile of documents on the table as he did so.
“The Kremlin Report...”

###binding

She bound the young man’s ankles with a wire-like object, rearranged the pile of boxes
to make an opening, and hid the man’s body in it.
[...]
“That certainly would have been easier. Then I wouldn’t have had to use a valuable
binding spiritual item like Dromi.”

###russian traitor

“And let me tell you one thing. I’m sure you don’t intend to just remain a bishop. The
highest position in the Russian Orthodox Church is the Patriarch, right? With your rate
of growth, you aren’t going to make it to that position before your life comes to an end.
If you want to use me to that end, you first have to do work that makes me want to use
you. And if you’re going to hold back and try to negotiate with me, then I won’t hesitate
to rid myself of you and find someone else. Understand?”

###hidden guards

“(…What the hell were you doing!? I was so close!!)”
“(…No, what the hell were *you* doing!? There are over two hundred magicians in that
room!)”
Hearing that, Kamijou’s expression turned to one of shock.
He hadn’t noticed that at all.
But when he looked back into the room, he saw a great number of what seemed to be
glowing eyes in the depths of the darkness around the large space. They may have been
doing some kind of work or they may have been on standby as Fiamma’s guards.

###skipped sasha scene

vasilisa and sasha

“This is bad. This is why I advised them that an alliance with the Roman Catholic
Church would be a bad idea. It looks like God’s Right Seat’s influence has reached the
Russian Orthodox Church. An order to capture you has been given, Sasha-chan, and
even our fellow Russian Orthodox members have been dispatched.”

“My first question: Is Bishop Nikolai Tolstoy trying to profit from the actions of others
again?”

know this name, daihaseisai

[...] My second question: What do you intend to do now?” Sasha asked
bluntly. “A supplementary explanation: Even if Bishop Nikolai Tolstoy’s plans lie
elsewhere, you still have a duty to obey this order if it is an official order from the
Church. If you help me anymore, you too will be punished.”
“Mweeeen,” said Vasilisa making some odd noise.
She pulled some old papers from her bag. They seemed to be various kinds of contracts
for her job. Even if she was rotten, she was at a higher position, so she had a lot of
annoying paperwork to deal with.
“Toryahh!”
Vasilisa suddenly started to rip the contracts to pieces.
“Wait, what are—? My third question: What are you doing!?”
“Umm, I’m betraying the Russian Orthodox Church, rebelling against the country, and
violating all my contracts related to that.”

throw bag and sasha out window

Her name was Skogsfru.
Her name came from a Russian fairy. The fairy was a type that lived in the woods and
would fall in love with humans, but their sex was so violent that the human partner
would often be killed.
The woman’s body was tightly encased by her binding outfit, but the outfit was made of
lace and leather to maximize her sex appeal rather than being an effective means of
binding someone. She was an expert in all kinds of sexual magic.

“Why do you think I was chosen to be Annihilatus’s mediator?”
“Ahn?”
“It was because I am the strongest in the organisation.”

“Old cannibal woman of the one-legged house, please lend your power to this faithful
daughter of little fortune,” Vasilisa sang in the voice of a little girl that did not match her
age.
Vasilisa’s name came from the heroine in one of Russia’s model fairy tales. The heroine
was oppressed by her stepmother and sister. A cannibal witch that lived in the forest
grew fond of her faithfulness to her dead mother and gave her magical items that helped
her gain happiness instead of killing her.
“Old cannibal woman of the one-legged house.”
Gently, Vasilisa removed her index finger from her lips and loosely bent the five fingers
above her palm like she was grabbing a large brandy glass.
She was carrying out the *method to gain happiness* the witch had given the fairy tale
heroine.
“Please give me the skull lamp. Give me the skull lamp that emits flames to burn my
faithless stepmother to death.”

[...] The woman wearing yellow
continued to pull on Sasha’s arm. “I was right to change the route to Russia instead of
England. Given the situation, I knew that bastard Fiamma would be after you.”

“I suppose the closest border is into the Elizalina Alliance of Independent Nations. I
have no real duty to help you out this much, but I don’t like the people who are after you.
If it’ll give them a nice surprise, I’m willing to do things I’m not used to.”

sasha not wanting elizalina in danger

“That can’t be…but…my first response: That is no reason to bring in a spark that will
light the fires of tragedy with 100% certainty.”
“It’s quite the opposite, you idiot,” the woman in yellow said completely rejecting
Sasha’s opinion. “If important targets like us are there, Russia will be unable to
slaughter people indiscriminately with bombings and bombardments. They can’t risk
killing the people they need to recover. Also, the Anglican Church and Academy City
who want to stop God’s Right Seat – it’s really just Fiamma of the Right, I guess – will
naturally look towards the Elizalina Alliance. This is a good chance to intervene in
international society and there is a chance that it will also prevent Russia from
attacking.”

###why japanese

“I have acted as a Japanese-speaking guide for tourists before. Can you understand me?”

###not stupid

didn't talk

###no border guard

Kamijou and Lessar had entered the Elizalina Alliance of Independent Nations. Kamijou
had thought its border would be heavily guarded because of the war, but they were able
to more or less head right through.

Four or five men were hiding amid the crowd of people walking by and they were
watching Kamijou and Lessar closely. They were wearing dark green military uniforms,
but the uniforms made them show up even more in the white snow.
“They’re the border guards,” said Lessar simply. “As you just said: it was too easy. They
aren’t idiots. They aren’t in a situation where they are even able to get camouflage that
matches the environment, but they are still trying to defend their country.”

###how russia

“They don’t have the spare resources to do something like that. And you passed over
quite a few borders to get into Russia in the first place, right?”
“Well, I made it here by hitchhiking with various people, so I don’t really know the exact
route I took.”
“…Hmm. You may not have realized it because you didn’t understand the language, but
you might have had quite the adventure,” Lessar muttered.

###chastising

“You don’t like the inn idea? So you’re suggesting outside!? B-but that could be a
problem. I have no issues with the basic idea of doing it outdoors, but it’s just so cold
here.”
“…Okay, I get it. We need to have a serious discussion.”
Kamijou grabbed Lessar, dragged her into an alley, and gave her a serious fifteen minute
lecture. Lessar was mentally exhausted when she returned to the plaza with the boy.

###tankman

“Hey. If those had been large bunker-destroying bombs instead of supplies, what do you
think we could’ve done?”
“…”
An unpleasant silence spread throughout the tank.
That was what the true role of the supersonic bombers was supposed to be and it was
probably the simplest way of silencing Antseka and the others.
Why had Academy City gone out of their way to carry out such a roundabout strategy?
Antseka looked up into the sky out of annoyance and spat out a few words.
“So this is their humane way of using their weapons? They’re mocking us.”

###skipped dover scene

next time? (could be!)

###people safe

“He says they were his sister and her daughters.”
For the man to know about that, the people in the trucks must have made it safely to a
nearby town and made contact by phone or something.
It was possible the man felt indebted to them and that was the sole reason he wasn’t
pointing his handgun at them.

###elizalina sister

“Oh, it was nothing that amazing. I merely made a few suggestions and helped a bit. It
was nothing at all compared to my sister in France.”

###let us do what we want?

###where voice?

“This is just a greeting,” said Fiamma’s voice.
A small doll made of kneaded flour was floating outside the window.
“Things have yet to truly begin.”

###very long

Kamijou was one of the closest ones to the scene, but he did not know that a giant sword
thirty or forty kilometers long had been swung down. After all, the base of the sword,
was so far away it was almost disappearing off the horizon. A sizzling sound could be
heard coming from the sword. It wiggled back and forth and then slowly lifted up much
like an axe being pulled out of a large tree.

###britain the halloween

the fuck

###how fiamma that fast

There was a disconnect between the person who activated the magic and the place the
magic had been activated in.
It was similar to Second Princess Carissa when she used both Curtana Original and the
bunker clusters.
It seemed he was drawing their focus with the large scale attack so he could send his
true attack at their unguarded side.

###no range

badly shown

Immediately after Fiamma swung his third arm, Bellagi and Longhe were blown away to
the side. The distance between them did not matter. Bellagi may have been in range of
the third arm, but Longhe had clearly not been. And yet he was knocked away just the
same. They were knocked away through the hole of rubble that the initial strike had
created in the building.

###fiamma not attack touma, but elizalina

why? makes no sense

###glove broken

Even so, the steel glove was smashed to pieces. Lessar’s small frame shot away like a
bullet. Just before she struck the wall, Bellagi stretched out his arms having just
reentered the building. He just barely managed to catch Lessar.

###what elizalina doing?

“You’re trying to construct a spell using the ‘right arm’ against me?”

###not on train for accel

seem as if with ac all this time

It was a duralumin trunk. The remains of handcuffs were attached to its handle. The
handcuffs had originally been attached to the wrists of the Russian soldier, but the
machine soldier had torn the chain apart with its fingertips.
[...]
The soldier doubted his superiors would have asked him to handcuff that trunk to
himself if it was pointless. And those Academy City machine soldiers had shown up for
the trunk.

###accel know something off

Due to an exceedingly subjective feeling, he found the parchments to be odd.
That feeling was one of pressure in the center of his chest.
It was similar to what he felt when Unabara Mitsuki was nearby. Accelerator recalled
that boy’s powers being referred to as if they were not simply esper powers (of course
that could very well just be a bluff to keep what his esper power as a secret), so he
wondered if there was any connection.

###technology leak prevention

He couldn’t find a single empty cartridge.
There were cracks running through the walls, but the shells that had broken through the
walls had all been recovered.
Academy City liked to avoid having its technology leak out, but that was on a whole new
level.
