Chapter two
all of this takes place before the beginning of episode 5
2 "Black shadows"
Airi's ship circled the academy looking like some sort of greenhouse, the trees inside it occupied most of it's hull except for the large obsidian plate that stood out inside it. it was used as the floor of the president's office in the daytime and on the floor below it the obsidian rock also doubled as a roof for Airi's house below. Her house was surrounded by a pond and trees. Inside she took off her uniform revealing night time negligee and sat on her sofa.
She brought up a terminal screen and with a pen held behind her ears she began reading a report that her secretary had submitted to her. Mikami came in with a pot of tea and a tray of cups and cleared her throat. She called airi's name but airi was concentrating so hard that she didn't acknowledge her. Mikami decided not to break her concentration and instead poured a glass for her and left it on the table. She notified airi of it's presence. airi acknowledged her. When she was done reading she picked up the tea and sipped it.
----------
"What where you reading?" It was a report on the 38 illegal entrances into the academy since seina had arrived. That meant that they had detected at least 38 criminals illegally sneaking into the galaxy academy. "Seina's talent for drawing in criminals is tremendous..." Mikami said but she said it in a way to imply something.
"Is there something you know that I should be worried about?"
"I haven't confirmed it yet... but" mikami hesitantly said. Airi who was in a relaxed posture, got nervous. When Mikami reported information airi didn't already know, it was highly likely that it was information that was quite important.
"There is a possibility that AA33485 is one of those intruders ..." said mikami
Airi was stunned she looked both afraid and angry.
It was an alphanumeric pattern that Airi had memorized and would never forget. she couldn't believe it. Mikami's intel came from the Kuramitsu's intelligence network which was comparable to Seto's. Minami owned it though not mikami. Who knew how much time had passed since he had shared this with mikami.
"AA33485 ...... Widow might be lurking in the academy!?" Airi said as she clenched her fist tight and bit into it. she bit so hard she bled. Mikami confirmed her suspicions. "Does seto know about the situation?" "She does and she told me that you would be more than capable of dealing with the situation."
All of The actions of the woman called Widow were terrible and gruesome. She had changed her name, face shape, and sometimes even her body itself. One after another she had stolen the appearances of those who had encountered her, then their lives, and then their wealth. She was like a living pathogen and she had taken the life of Airi's father.
---
Minami asked if airi was ok and she told her she was just remembering the good old days. On Airai, widow had caused a mass suicide event that started a rebellion. When Airi's father went to stop the rebellion the entire colony disappeared. Airai as a nation was pretty much wiped out after that. Her Aunt Keira Magma helped Airi get through that hard time. She wasn't sure What she would have done without her. she wanted to know what happened to those people in the colony. she wondered if widow had hidden them somewhere. but for now those were questions she would have to solve in the future.
Airi decided to make the best choice for Airai.
---
Widow: she had changed the destiny of an entire country by annihilating it and no one in the galaxy knew how. She was one of the few women in the galaxy whose names stood a on the same pantheon as Seto and Washu.
Airi tried to calm herself down. and she internally reprimanded herself for letting her emotions get away from her. she was not the woman she used to be, the one who could barely even protect her daughter, she was an academic mastermind of the highest order, she was the great philosopher Airi Masaki.
She reaffirmed her stance on the issue and decided to confront her. But she still couldn't help but shudder when she thought of widow.
"Well then! Where should i start?" she said trying to encourage herself into action.
She had assembled a program to predict widows behavior using what little information of her previous criminal history she could find. she had tried applying it the database of the information department of the academy many times but she was never granted permission to do so. The academy had many things going on in it that many people would like to know for less than noble purposes, so they had an information department that helped gather intel on to keep this from happening. Airi realized though that it wouldn't matter because A woman like widow would notice a large scale investigation.
Airi also realised mikami had just been standing there looking at her thinking, and she realized that if mikami reported this to seto, then the plan for investigating widow had already been decided without her. Airi asked Mikami what her and seto's plan was.
In instances were airi and her subordinates couldn't go in somewhere to investigate It would have only be necessary to use either seto or mikami's subordinates to gain access to an area. Mikami told airi that she couldn't lend her subordinates to help without the rest of her family noticing, only seto could lend her staff if they wanted to keep this investigation a secret.
The predecessor to the galaxy academy was jurai's royal academy and as such theinfluence they had in the gp was great even though they were now an independent organization.
"Seto will be sending 4 people to help with the investigation." Mikami told Airi.
One of seto's subordinantes (kanemitsu) had an entire armada behind him (the 7th defense fleet) so even if it was only 4 people the scale of the investigation was larger than the number let on.
Mikami told her that the sword had been sent this time. (kanemitsu was the sword, minaho was her shield but in this case it meant her offensive team.) "Have you already identified the target then?"
"No they haven't." "Then why have they been dispatched?"
"To guard Seina." Mikami quickly replied
if the swords failed, the best they could do was to send in their intel department and try to drive widow out of the academy.

excerpt from Widow's profile from 12.17
■Widow■
Her age, and birthplace is unknown, her appearance has been remodeled over and over and over again, she does not even remember what she looked like originally in the past, She is a lunatic who's only goal and pleasure in life is to kill everyone. She has no obsession for money, but takes it anyways from her victims as visible proof of her kills and to rob the families of their inheritances, she records the process of her kills and keeps genetic archives of the dead. Like seina, she she has a biased probability, but it only effects other people, not herself, she uses it to cause psychic pollution based pandemics that chain react from small events, they involve many people, induce fighting and result in death, she can infect people with her own will. However, she actually does very little work compared to the magnitude of damage her influence causes. That is part of the reason it was so difficult for anyone to catch her.
--------
The entirety of the craziness of the events of this novel can be thought of as a result of widow's power
--------------
Back at seina's dorm, after dinner specifically, Kenneth set up the living room to act as a sort of holodeck that transmitted both seina to a setting and the setting to seina. they got seina to answer the questions of the fanclub members who called yesterday. it seemed that this was the thing that his roommate promised that got them to stop bugging him the other day.
The set of broadcast was said to be a replica of a really long lived program that had been around for about 10,000 years. The hostess of the show explained that the software being used was made by the Tennan's.
David doma of the ryoko fanclub asked him if seina was acquainted with Alan. it seemed Alan had started a cult using the picture of ryoko and had been exploiting people for money and he had developed a religion like cult around it. david asked him about the random jump incident. then the Kiriko fan club representative elroy egasu was introduced to ask him questions... but the power went out before he could answer.
It seemed like they caused a blackout. kenneth and raujau went outside to get it fixed. in the dark a monitor appeared in front of seina. Airi called seina's name but seina quickly turned away from the monitor.
"that's kind of rude, Why aren't you looking at me when I talk to you?"
"Airi...Where are you calling me from?"
"A bath" ♡
Airi was naked in a bath brushing her hair
"... Please put something on"
"Oh Seina, Who dresses up for a bath?"
He failed to convince her. He had no choice but to just try to look away from the screen.
Airi asked if he was ok or needed anything.
"well actually... "
Airi's monitor chased after him the entire time he tried to tell her
----
elroy the fanboy was getting bombarded with complaints.
He told everyone that he didn't know why they stopped broadcasting and they should ask kennith. he was told that their rooms lights were out by the amane fanboy. they figured it was electrical trouble. david, his other roomate, was lying on a futon when he got a call from alan's secretary who he was acquainted with.
-----------------------------
note:
It's later stated in a later chapter that this is in fact widow.
----------
The monitor was bouncing around seina's head as he ran away from it.
"ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME? well fine then, if you're going to ignore me" the monitor disappeared.
but then her image completely covered his vision. he rubbed his eyes and repeatedly blinked, it didn't go away. she was broadcasting directly to his visual cortex.
"Hey seina you jerk, When you're talking with someone look them in the eyes, then look at their body, then.."
The image slowly panned down as airi bathed herself.
"Waaaaaaaa! Stop it! Airi! Airi! stop it, I can see it!"
"That's because I'm polishing it to make it beautiful" ♡
"Please stop it!"
"How about if I do it some more?"
Suddenly Minami got in front of her and she scolded airi for what she was doing.
The broadcast in his eyes ended,only a monitor was left in front of him. He thanked mikami. She asked seina if he had been told not to talk about the masaki family living on earth yet.
"No..."
"Yosho, Ayeka, Sasami Ryoko and Washu should all not be talked about as well as Tenchi. they are officially treated as missing and Ryoko and Washu's survival is only known by Jurai's royalty." Airi interrupted her " Sorry it was my fault, I forgot to tell him." she was wrapped in a towel but it started falling off. seina looked away. Mikami noticed why seina was turning red and looking away.
"Remember Seina, officially Kiriko is from the Masaki house from the branch that is supposed descended from the youngest sister of the first Emperor of Jurai"
*(*Masaki Jurai the girl who yosho met on the moon)
"The First Princess?"
"Earthlings who went up into space for the first time."
"Oh, is that's why Seto said that there is a precedent?"
"Yes ... So be careful when they interview you about Kiriko and Amane, please do not talk about Tenchi."
"understood"
"also, about my question..."
The screen turned black for a second and when it came back on mikami was gone but airi was still there now topless. He told her no. he was plenty happy as is. Airi was disappointed by this.
Seina wondered about her, she was married and when she talked about her husband and when her daughter minaho talked about it it didn't seem like she was unhappy with her marriage or her family.
Airi informed him that she also had some news for him about the ryoko fan club. it seemed there had been a coup by the members of the cult and they overthrew and exiled cohen allen and barry.
"That was quick"
the lights turned back on and airi's broadcast cut out.
Elroy asked seina about how he knew kiriko, Seina remembered not to say anything about tenchi.
"uhm ... ... Kiriko is a friend's older sister that i have known since my kindergarten and I have been indebted to her for quite a while."
"Huh! So childhood friend ... is it?"
"Yes"
"How long have you been taking baths with her?"
"... ... since i was seven years old"
"did you ever share a bed with her?""
"yes usually with kai her brother."
as the interview went on elroy began to cry at the kindness of kiriko
"By the way, what do you think of her?"
seina blushed and hesitated
"What I think ... ... about Kiriko ... ....?"
"what do you think about about Ms. Kiriko?"
seina realized he couldn't answer truthfully without causing problems
he said he had no feelings for her like that he only thought of her as a big sister.
they asked how he met amane. he told them she met her at kiriko's house and she gave him a brochure.
kenneth ended the interview and told them anything more would be an invasion of privacy.
------------------------------------
This is were Episode 5 of the anime starts
Afterwards kennith was working on setting up seina's nb. he heard a notification sound. It was time for roll call in the dorm they stood in the center of the room and motioned for seina to do the same. Two gp instructors appeared in front of them as holograms
"Kenneth · Bāru!"
"Rajau · Ga · Waura!"
Kenneth and Rajau slowly saluted.
"And Yamada Seina!"
(its interesting to note here that they give their names american style and seina does it Japanese style.)
a ring of light came up around their feet and scanned them for id verification purposes. one of the instructors frowned because there was a distortion in seina's data. they were advised this might happen, his data was making the system generate errors.
"Do you want to rescan me?"
"no. the errors are proof enough for us. The entrance ceremony is tomorrow we suggest you get some rest." they saluted and the instructors disappeared. His roommates sighed.
this whole thing made them nervous every day no matter how many times they did it. they had to do it till they graduate.
"Even after graduation, it seems that there are a lot of people who can't escape the habit of standing upright at this time"
Seina began to head to bed. they stopped him .they wanted to sneak out.
-------------
back at fingu the amane fan's place, fingu and eroy decided to go surprise interview seina at his dorm room. they were locked in though.
--------------------------------
It was 9 pm. even grade school students were still up, but the dorm was locked down for the night. Raujau asked seina to follow a set of instructions in order to unlock their door. he plugged in his id and entered his serial number and his voice print and an error sounded. he repeated it and it beeped again he tried again. error. he asked rajau why it wasn't working.
"try doing it again saying the numbers out loud" he tried again. he got the error. he was saying weird numbers according to them.
"Read the numbers out loud again." He did. What he said was wrong again and they laughed.
"Hmm ... ... Seina you came from an early stage planet right?"
"Yeah"
"Don't they use the galactic official language on Earth?"
"Onnainin said that they installed nanomachines ... ...."
they figured it must have been a mistake in the nanomachines but they had never heard of such a thing. they blamed it on his probability bias.
"Oh, I see."
"Rajau ......, what should I do?"
"we can't do anything at our level let's consult a professional to install a fix to the program tomorrow.It shouldn't be any problem in everyday life because it hasn't been a problem till now but please be careful with numbers. "
They suspected that the previous ordeal with the many trays of food may have been a mistake in that program. but seina wondered why he was able to dial numbers on the phone (and how did he read the room number?)
they looked up a phone on their screen and showed him it. it was a picture of the phone he used.
"Oh, this is an antique phone design that is popular recently."
"I heard that I was excavated from some ruins"
"Recently, it's become trendy to use have a phone like this and use these numeric character for telephone communication"
"Well, that's ... ... the Earth's ...... Numbers..."
so that's why he could use them. he asked them to rewrite the number into earth numbers. they hesitated to give it to him because he had missed the window of time to install the initial software onto NB. they were afraid if they tried again there might be an installation error caused by seina's luck and they didn't know what would happen so they thought it would be a good idea to have a professional take care of it...
"Since this machine is a prototype, if you limit the function, you will be managed by the test startup function, and the processing speed will be reversed faster"
this put seina in a sad mood. he felt the burden of his bad luck again.
