「邂逅」Encounter #EXCL ED1
【Another story -コラボ番外編-】-With English translation-
「…美代 零だな？」
音もなく黒い影が少女の背後に立ち、冷たい刃を首元に当てる。
驚いたように身を竦ませる小さな身体。
昨今、彼女が属する組織ブラックハウンズを潰そうとする動きが活発化していた。
闇から生まれて来たようにその男は背後から突然出現した
シュバルツライアー《黒鷺》
惑星ブルースフィア三大国の何処にも属していない、噂でしか聞いたことのない暗殺組織。
それに組するクレイジーは、美代 零の暗殺の命を受けていた。
しかし…
「…」
聞いていた話とは違い、あまりにも相手が幼いと感じる。
凄腕の諜報部員と聞いていたが…
…自分と同じぐらいの年齢では無いのか？
震え青ざめた表情、恐怖で言葉も発せない様子に眉をひそめる。
「——チッ…」
胸糞の悪さに舌打ちする。
抵抗も出来ない子供を殺すのは、気分が悪いどころのレベルではない
「あのジジイ、舐めた指令を出しやがって…」
ぶつぶつと独り言を呟く背後の相手に、こわばりながらも少女が怪訝な表情を浮かべた瞬間
「…！」
自分の頭部を狙った銀弾に反応し、クレイジーは持っていたナイフで弾道を僅かにずらす
弾かれたナイフが飛び、零を突き飛ばして追撃を躱し後退する。
（…邪魔が入ったな…）
ゴーグルの奥から殺意の瞳が光る
どうやら保護者がしっかりと守っていたらしい、この暗闇であんな遠距離から狙ってくる相手は尋常ではなかった。
「…あなたは何者…？」
僅かな街灯に照らされ、聞いてくる少女にクレイジーは応えない。
「美代 零。——次は…殺す」
そうとだけ呟き、彼は再び闇へと消えた。
…その虚空を見つめる少女は、無表情に隠し持っていた拳銃を降ろした。

＜おまけ話＞
「クレイジーが獲物取り逃すなんて、珍しいね～。どうしたの？おなかいたかった？」
「うるさい」
ヘラヘラした顔で、楽しそうに弄ってくる双子の兄、ジェントル。
「可愛い女の子につい油断しちゃっただなんて。全然そういうの興味ないと思ってたから、お兄さんはうれしいよ」
そう言って、うんうんする相手に、ムカついて思い切り足を踏み潰す。
「…あんなガキだとは思わなかっただけだ」
ムスッとしながらそう呟き
「僕らも子供じゃないか、仲良くなれそうじゃない？今度お茶でも誘おうよ」
「頭沸いてるのか？」
呆れた顔でのんきな兄の顔を睨む。
双子の暗殺者クレイジーとジェントル
彼らと美代零の関係がどうなっていくのかは、また別のお話で…
-サンイグレット家の悲劇- コレクションより
"Rei Mishiro, right?"
Without a sound, a black shadow stands behind the girl, and places a cold blade against her neck.
Her small body cowering as if startled.
Recently, a movement to destroy the Black Hounds, the organization to which she belongs, has been gaining momentum.
As if born from the darkness, the man suddenly appeared from behind her.
SchwarzReiher 《Black Heron》
An assassination organization that does not belong to any of the three major powers of the Blue Sphere, and that we have only heard rumors about.
Crazy, a member of this organization, was ordered to assassinate Rei Mishiro.
However...
"..."
Unlike what he had heard, he felt that the other party was too young.
He had heard that She was a very skilled intelligence officer...But...
........isn't she about the same age as me?
He frown at her trembling, pale expression, her inability to utter a word due to fear.
'——tut...'
He click his tongue in disgust.
Killing a child who can't even resist is very very feel bad.
"That old man gave me a licking order..."
The moment the girl gave a dubious expression while being nervous to the person behind her who was muttering to herself.
"...!"
Reacting to the silver bullet aimed at his head, Crazy slightly shifted the trajectory of the bullet with the knife she was holding.
The knife that was shot flies away, and he pushes Rei away to avoid the follow-up attack and retreats.
(...You got in my way...)
Eyes of murderous intent shine from behind goggles.
Apparently, the guardian was protecting him well, and it was not unusual for an opponent to aim at him from such a distance in this darkness.
"...Who are you...?"
Crazy does not respond to the girl who asks him, illuminated by the faint streetlight.
"Mishiro Rei. ――Next time...I'll kill you."
Muttering only that, he disappears back into the darkness.
...The girl, staring into the void, expressionlessly lowered her concealed pistol.

<Side story>
"It's so rare that Crazy misses his prey! What's wrong? Stomach hurts?"
"Shut up."
Gentle, the twin brother, with a goofy look on his face, is happily toying with me.
"I can't believe I let my guard down with a pretty girl. I didn't think you were interested in that kind of thing at all, so I'm glad you're my brother.
I was so pissed off at him that I stomped my foot down as hard as I could on the guy who was cooing at me.
"I just didn't think she was such a brat."
He mutters in a miffed tone.
"I'm sure we'll get along. I'll ask you out for tea sometime."
"Are you out of your mind?"
He stared at his carefree brother with a dumbfounded look on his face.
Twin assassins Crazy and Gentle.
How their relationship with Mishiro Rei will turn out is another story...
