IS Vol. 10

Chapter 1

Students with personalized ISes were all selected by the Student Council to scout Kyoto
before the actual school trip. The other students were jealous because Ichika and his harems
got to go.
Houki, Laura, and Charlotte were happy they got to go to Kyoto, but Rin and Cecilia were grumbling.
It would be Rin's third time going to to Kyoto, and Cecilia thought London was superior to Kyoto.
It only took Tatenashi's words, "You two get to be in the same group as Ichika" to make those two happy.
Houki and the other two didn't get to be in Ichika's group.
Kanzashi who was already grouped with Ichika decided to be happy silently. Nonchalantly.

One page later, Rin and Cecilia grabbed Ichika on the hallway. Rin asked if Ichika would like to
see her and Cecilia in Kyoto dancing girls' costume. Houki and the other two came and mentioned
that Rin and Cecilia should not have Ichika all for themselves. Ichika said the trip is not
for fooling around.
Tatenashi told only Ichika the actual meaning of them going to Kyoto: To suppress Phantom Task's stronghold.
Kanzashi came and went like, "Don't forget about me".

In the next scene, personalized-IS owners (the first year students plus second year Forte Sapphire and third-year Daryl
Casey) were gathered by Tatenashi for her to explained the mission.
Forte with her slang asked if they were really going with the mission, as she already knew about it
back at her home country.
"At last, huh? President.", said the F-Cup Daryl. She got her premonition about the mission when her Hell Hound went 2.8.

Next day, everyone was in the mood for a trip. Cue some harem scene for Rin, Cecilia, Laura, and Charlotte.
Ichika, who thought he would have died, was thrown a canned orange juice by Forte.
Ichika tried to open the juice, but couldn't, as the can was getting colder and freezing that it hurt Ichika's hand.
"Got you!" said Forte. Daryl who was also there sitting with her legs crossed asked if Ichika knew nothing about Forte's IS.
She explained that the IS Cold Blood can slow and freeze the molecule.
Forte said she wished Daryl would stop doing that, and by that, Forte said "It's a SPOILER. A SPOILER."
Daryl changed her legs crossing, and asked if Ichika saw her pants, and it was red.
"Perverted kid" said Daryl.
"Ichika no Ecchi, mou shiranai" said Charlotte.


"We'll make a brief stop at Kyoto", said the bullet train's announcer in English.
In the age where the cells have high resolution camera, Ichika still brought his old analog camera.
Rin who knew how important that camera to Ichika did not laugh. Ichika said the camera was like
his bond to Chifuyu-nee. It was also the camera where Houki and Rin got their pictures with Ichika.
Cecilia came and asked Ichika to guide her in Kyoto. Seeing the two girls with Ichika, Daryl with
said, "Perverted Kid".

They arrived in Kyoto, and Ichika suggested they took a group picture at the station, and Chifuyu agreed.
Maya took a picture that would become one of Ichika's bond, even if the people in the picture
would not come together again...


Tatenashi was going out to look for an informant that she could not reach a day before, and asked Ichika to
enjoy his walk in the city.
The camera which Ichika rarely used since he entered the IS Academy was Chifuyu first present she bought
for her brother.

Charlotte paired up with Kanzashi, Houki with Rin, and Cecilia with Laura, and they separated to survey the tourist spots.
Ichika, who went by himself, spotted a white cat, and as they said "Curiosity killed the cat",
Ichika followed the cat...for 30 minutes.
When Ichika was about to stop, the cat jumped to her owner. She said "Welcome back, Shiny".
The one-handed, one-eyed(patch that looked like Data Masamune's sword pole arms), red-headed girl
in a red kimono was definitely not Japanese. (Her height especially, plus the unbalance pin-heeled shoes made
her looked even taller).
The girl said, "Your seeming looks bad". She meant he has trouble with women, and told him to be careful" before taking her leave.
Ichika got an email from Charlotte regarding the destination spot, and decided to continue his journey while snapping pictures.

Ichika met with Charlotte and Kanzashi at a confectionery shop which also offered the patron the experience to wear kimonos.
The guy took a picture of those two in kimono. Some harem scenes followed.

Chapter 2

Moved to Houki and Rin at Kamogawa Shops district. Those two were reminiscing the times when they were little. Ichika had the habit of putting unnecessary
amount of dead leaves to make fire that went out of control, and Chifuyu went angry at him and those girls. Ichika seemed not to remember those times.
As it was getting chiller, Ichika suggested them to start moving, but before that he bought them beret to keep them warm.
The girls wanted to pay him the money, but Ichika refused. Rin said she would take a good care of it, and Houki added that they
should go out on their next day off to buy him a hat. Ichika took a picture of them.

Scene changed to Cecilia and Laura on a rickshaw. Ichika also met Dan, who who was the driver. Dan was working part time in Kyoto
to buy a present for his girlfriend, Nohotoke Utsuho, but the author would leave the story for the another time.
Ichika sat on the middle of those girls. Laura pulled a gun at Dan's head, "Now Gotanda Dan. I'll have you show us around Kyoto, slowly, with safety driving,
with as much as curvy route as possible.
Cue harem antics as Dan forgot the safety drive. Then they took a picture.

Next scene, Chifuyu and Maya were waiting for the students at a bus stop. Then explosion occurred in the city.
About 10 minutes or so before that, Ichika was taking pictures, when his camera was blocked by a red kimono. The girl was shooting
to protect Ichika. Her name was Alicia Josestof Earley.
Ichika asked "What now?" Earley answered, "Your assassination, Celebrity Orimura-kun". She then pulled out her IS, the legendary Tempesta that also
in a video game that Ichika played.
She explained she lost her right hand in an accident. Tempesta formed the hand.

500 meters away.
Daryl clicked her tongue as not only the assassination was a failure, but the perverted kid got to trick another girl.
Forte was shocked to see her partner, senpai, and lover was not who Forte thought she was.
Daryl mentioned her name was Leon Meusel, the lowest rank in House of Meusel. Forte asked why would Daryl betrayed them?
She replied something like "It's my destiny. My family is cursed."
Leon invited Forte to come with her, to betray everything in this world, but the second-year refused.
Leon said it was okay for her that Forte refused. She then summoned her dark grey Hell Hound IS, and hold up the Escort Black sword.
She fought Earley. Tempesta's special ability is that it can manipulate wind.
Earley formed a wind sphere and threw it at Leon. Forte came and blocked it. She has become a traitor to both the Academy and her country.
Eary then threw three spears at them, but this time, Hell Hound that can control flame and Cold Blood that can command cool air formed
the Aegis Shield. It was two against one,as Autumn was tasked to block Ichika's path.
Early then performed her one-off ability - 疾駆する嵐 [Earley Tempest], creating two more Earley. It was Three against two then.
"Not bad, old hag", said Leon.
"I'm still 28", she replied.
"You're 10 years older, shitty old hag", Leon continued.
"I don't want to hear that from a shitty kid". The Earley Tempest were created by high rotating wind that can cause any armor to break.
Leon said to Forte, "We have to use 'that'", and "Let's do 'that'".
Earley said it was unladylike for young maidens to use the words 'do' and 'that'.
'That' referred to Ice in The Flame, a type of reactive armor. The bullets from Earley anti-tank riffle was stopped when
the ice absorbed the shock, and the Flame spouted them back. The two traitors ran away.
Early removed her IS and decided to go and look at how Ichika was faring... by walking...with an opened Japanese umbrella.

...The harem members captured Autumn.

Scene changed to a top class hotel in Kyoto.

"Ahh, kimochiiii". Leon was swimming naked in a pool at the Executive Floor. Squall was her aunt that lead the
Monochrome Avatar squad. Squall was waiting for her lover, but then Leon spat it out that Autumn was captured
by the first-years. When Squall planned to get Autumn back, Leon advised her aunty to wait for another chance
as the other sides had more stick then them. Squall did not like it when Leon called her 'Auntie'. She then left,
and Leon said to also naked Forte that they should go to bed.
