Hybrid x Heart Magias Academy Ataraxia

It looks like Sneakers Bunko is celebrating their 26thbirthday.

Aine suddenly said that.

A pocket paperback was thrust in front of Kizunas eyes. But it was too close that he couldnt even read the title. Kizuna twisted his neck in annoyance and dodged the book.

And, whats this Sneakers Bunko thing?

Medic! Theres someone with pitiful head here! Deal with him right away!

Whats you planning to do by dealing with me!? Or rather, medic wont do that kind of work! The angel of salvation will look like death god if they do that!

Kizuna and other members of Amaterasu came to Nayuta Lab for a strategy meeting. However the commander Reiri didnt come because apparently a previous meeting was dragging on. Aine had finished reading a book that she brought and pestered Kizuna because she had too much free time.

The paper wrapper and the booklet inside all mentioned about the celebration of the 26thanniversary. But, I wonder why 26. 25 is better number, while 2 and 6 are really iffy arent they? Theyre just a step short from number one or lucky seven.

Himekawa couldnt bear to keep quiet and butt in.

W-well, arent those number in a good and modest place there?

What is everyone talking about desu?

Aa, Sylvia. Do you know about Sneaker Bunko?

No, Sylvia doesnt desu. Is it a book about shoes or something desu?

Keis window suddenly appeared in front of them. Text started to flow in the screen.

Sneakers Bunko, a light novel label of long standing that belonged to Kadokawa Company. Famous titles like Record of Lodoss War Chronicles and The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi came from there.

Kizuna leaned forward and saw Shikina Kei staring still at him from inside a console that looked like a cockpit.

Shikina-san, you like light novel?

Perhaps it was just his imagination, but the sound of Kei typing on her keyboard sounded louder than usual.

I read a lot when I was student. I think Reiri also read a lot of them.

Now that she mentioned it, there were a lot of books in the house where he lived together with Reiri. He felt like he had also seen books with this kind of binding among them.

Reiri arrived while Kizuna was tracing back his memory.

Whats wrong? Its rare for you to bring that kind of book.

Aa, Nee-chan. We were talking about the 26thanniversary of Sneakers Bunko in light novel.

Hou, thats auspicious news. 26 years huhits a big deal that they have lasted that long. Thats longer than even my life.

My, commander. You dont need to appeal that you yourself are still young likeouch!

The fist fell on Yurishias head in a speed that couldnt be perceived by eye.

Uueven though I was letting my guard down, how was I of all people unable to dodgewell, anyway its wonderful. Strangely this news doesnt feel like something trivial. How about we all go celebrate today? Lets go all out and have fun sometimes!

Aa, that sounds nice! What do you think everyone?

Hmmcertainly, for some reason it makes me feel happy like its my own affair.

Himekawa also agreed while tilting her head.

WaaiIts a party desu!

But, theres one thing that bother me.

Hm? Whats wrong Aine?

The date on the colophon is November 2014 though.

What?

Aine, where did you buy this book?

From an old bookstore in Megafloat Japans Shinbomachi.

So did this 26thanniversary actually had passed already hadnt it!!

Kizuna wondered what year of anniversary it actually was for this year. But then he immediately noticed that it still didnt change the fact that it was an auspicious thing.
