[Requests Accepted] [フロントウイング] グリザイア:ファントムトリガー Vol.4 [VJ011599]
**Story** Kumashiro Megumi, who came from the St. Aile Foreign School, was honing her skills as a sniper under Toka's guidance, sharpening her fangs alongside Lena and Maki, who had returned from their battle injuries. At the same time, Sengoku Taiga from Mihama Academy's elementary school strongly wished to be assigned to the combat unit "Class A." His handler, Hart, set the condition that "Chris would become Taiga's superior and take care of him" for his transfer. As Chris spent time with Taiga, she began to notice changes in her own heart. Just when everything seemed to be progressing peacefully, an unprecedented terrorist incident suddenly occurred within the country. Upon learning of the situation, Chris recklessly jumped into the battlefield—just like "she" did that day. "This is the worst development we could have anticipated..." "Two people have been killed! What the hell?! What happened?!" "Do you understand what it means to bring nuclear weapons into Japan...?" "It's terrifying to shoot someone for the first time... My legs are shaking..." "You fool... Are you planning to ruin everything?!" The number of victims continued to rise. SORD, deprived of freedom within the organization. What will happen to Chris, Taiga... and the fate of Mihama Academy? "I see... I've... died..." Embraced by the memories of her deceased mother, the girl heads toward the abyss of slumber. --- **Characters** **Lena: Fukami Reina (CV: Uchida Maaya)** A handgun user. She was hired to shoot guns in place of Hart, who does not use firearms, and is enrolled at Mihama. With a cheerful and friendly personality, she has a slightly tall and well-proportioned body, with long limbs that are smooth and strong, making her active and robust. She has a strong sense of responsibility and vigilance, always paying attention to her surroundings and being very obedient and loyal to her employer, Hart. Despite her high physical abilities, her academic performance sometimes struggles, and she can sulk if scolded too harshly, but she has a strong desire to learn and improves the more she is praised. She prefers to use the 1911-type handgun and practices shooting about 200 rounds daily. She has a tendency to become attached, remembering the feel of a gun with her body rather than her mind, which makes her reluctant to use any other firearms. She continues to use .45 caliber bullets, which have already been judged as "ineffective" by law enforcement, going so far as to have them hand-modified by a gunsmith, which could be seen as obsessive. She holds a motorcycle license and sneaks out of the dormitory at night to eat ramen. "Recently, I haven't been able to eat my fill... like meat... or sushi..." --- **Toka: Shishigaya Toka (CV: Sakura Ayane)** A sniper. She is half American and half German. Her father, a former soldier, taught her self-defense and rifle skills from a young age, and she holds the record for being the youngest champion in the rifle competition at local shooting tournaments. After her mother's death, she spent two years as a member of a PMC (Private Military Company) with her father. Toka has an extremely combative personality, often acting impulsively with violent behavior, and can be described as a "Tsun-Dere." While she is curious, she also has a rational side that dislikes trouble and waste. Despite her youthful and cute appearance, she is strong-willed and very cautious. In her childhood, she almost shot a door-to-door salesman with a shotgun while home alone, which led to her becoming notoriously shy. She tends to dislike strangers at first but shows strong dependency on those she recognizes as "friends" or "companions." She struggles to make friends and often acts mature to overcome her complex about her small stature. "That's right! So remember this! Calling me 'cute' is an insult!!" --- **Chris: Kujise Christina Sakurako (CV: Nazuka Kaori)** A specialist in bombs and computers. She is a British national from Shanghai. In her studies, she ranks 8th out of 148 students at Mihama Academy and is responsible for teaching her classmates. She is extremely gentle, polite, and well-mannered, but it is rumored that she is the scariest when angered. Like Hart, she does not particularly like guns and may refuse to carry one. The self-defense gun she is provided with is a model that was supposed to be returned due to a manufacturing error. She has beautiful blonde hair, which she used to keep long, but after accidentally setting it on fire while making a homemade bomb in the school restroom during elementary school, she has kept it short since. Chris is nurturing and skilled in household chores, acting like a dorm mother by preparing meals and cleaning for the students. She has weak eyesight and wears contact lenses except when sleeping, so she is only seen wearing glasses for a very short time after waking up. "If you step on a landmine and find yourself in an impossible situation, don't hesitate to call me." --- **Murasaki: Inugoma Yuzuki (CV: Tanizaki Atsumi)** Self-proclaimed Russian ninja. Although she claims to be a ninja, much of her identity remains shrouded in mystery. According to her, she holds a red badge (specialist) in local ninja qualifications and a gold badge (ninja master) in international qualifications. She excels in disguise and often handles infiltration tasks, using a .22 caliber subsonic bullet gun for assassinations. She carries small, easily concealable weapons like small-caliber automatic pistols and kunai, preferring not to use larger weapons like rifles or swords. Murasaki has an elusive personality, rarely showing her true feelings, and seems to enjoy confusing those around her with her mysterious behavior. The only ninja-like aspect of her is that she wraps a scarf around her neck even in summer. Although it has a design that seems appealing to female students, it is made of a blend of artificial protein and aramid fibers, providing bulletproof and fire-resistant properties. She has known Hart since childhood and admires him like an older brother, but it seems she has deeper feelings for him as well. In combat, she is ranked third, following Lena's strength and Hart's technique. "...Yes, I'm just a girl who likes ninjas, just an ordinary girl..." --- **Maki: Inohara Maki (CV: Nanjo Yoshino)** Known as "Soul Speed Maki." Her old nickname was "Bax." She was bought by a Russian crime organization and worked as both a hitman and a courier. Large and strong, she rides her blue-silver GSX-R at reckless speeds. Having spent her childhood in a "hitman training facility," she has an aggressive personality and is a hearty eater. After getting full, she can sleep anywhere. Although she has a strong sense of vigilance and is difficult to please, she is actually quite sensitive. Her prized possession is a Swiss mechanical watch. She owns four Glock 26 handguns, each with its own name. "Don't joke around! I'm not stupid enough to shoot it out with a .45 caliber gun!" --- **Megumi: Kumashiro Megumi (CV: Mimori Suzuko)** A sniper. She belonged to the mountain sniper department at St. Aile Foreign School, Mihama Academy's sister school. Due to her skills, it is rumored that once caught in her right eye, there is no escape, earning her the title of "The Eye of Magic." At St. Aile, she looked up to her senior, Aizumi Shiho, who was her observer partner. With a soldier-like personality, she diligently strives to fulfill her missions. She is filled with a strong sense of justice that cannot tolerate inappropriate behavior. Occasionally, she surprises those around her with unexpectedly sharp remarks. She excels at eating quickly, and her speed is overwhelming. Her main arm is the Blaser R93. "...I'm sorry, senpai... but I still have things I need to do... things I must accomplish..." --- **Taiga: Sengoku Taiga (CV: Takamori Natsumi)** The cousin of the academy principal, Sengoku Ichiru, and a member of the engineering support department at Mihama Academy's elementary school. Born as the youngest daughter of the Sengoku family (the child of the legal wife), she was raised like a princess. She is intelligent, passing the university entrance aptitude test with a comprehensive evaluation. Perhaps due to being taught imperial studies, she often displays an arrogant demeanor, which sometimes causes others to keep their distance, but she is completely unconcerned about it. Despite her age and the evaluations of those around her, she wishes to engage in activities beyond her capabilities. She has a serious side and is childish at times, referring to Lena as "Milkshake Master." As a result of her persistent desire to be temporarily assigned to Class A, where Chris and others are, Hart finds himself compelled to respond. "Kujise... when will I be allowed to go into action?" --- **Teacher Arisaka: Arisaka Kosaki (CV: Izawa Mikako)** A new teacher who has been assigned to an incredible academy without being informed of the details. Her personality is very serious. She is so serious that she is practically useless. To say she is "modest" feels like an understatement; frankly, she is just cowardly. She is not particularly adept at her job, and one could say she is the type who "destroys a stone bridge by tapping it and then is discovered by her superior, only to be scolded severely." She claims to have had bad luck since childhood and has a tendency to draw the short straw in various situations. While this description may make her seem extremely unlucky, in reality, her luck is only slightly below average. For example, she once drew a "dog fortune" (likely due to a printing error) at a shrine on New Year's Day, causing her friends to laugh uproariously and suggest that "lucky items mean dogs," which led her to attempt to pet a nearby dog's head, only to be bitten. Despite wearing a T-shirt with "Villager A" printed on it, no one seems to react beyond a simple acknowledgment. Nevertheless, it is undeniable that she is a person meant to be at Mihama. "...It's a bit late to ask, but... is it really okay for someone like me to be here...?" --- **Hart: Aoi Haruto** A tactical instructor at Mihama Academy and a former CIRS staff member who guides students as a handler. Although he looks young, he has extensive practical experience and many acquaintances among current CIRS staff. His personality is mild-mannered and sometimes described as old-fashioned, but in reality, he is the "great demon king of bullying" at Mihama, often considered childish by the female students. He is reluctant to discuss his past, and his own memories are often vague, leaving many gaps in his history. He is not skilled with guns and struggles to hit targets. His aim is so poor that rumors circulate that he may be deliberately missing. He is not particularly interested in food and tends to only eat salads when left to his own devices. In practical situations, he often takes command and rarely stands at the front lines. His weapon of choice is a "sword," but due to the different manufacturing process, it cannot truly be called a Japanese sword. "Ahaha, my classmates often call me a jerk." --- **Sengoku Ichiru (CV: Yukinari Toa)** The principal of Mihama Academy. A former CIRS staff member, he previously served as the head of the comprehensive research team, engaging in medical and psychological studies while concurrently holding the positions of chief of the medical team and commander of the psychological operations department. As a result, he has many acquaintances in the upper echelons of CIRS and is rumored to hold "secrets" about many CIRS staff members, which led to him being one of the first to be appointed to a position after the CIRS reorganization. During the CIRS reorganization, he proposed the establishment of a private contract-type operational intelligence training institution (Social Ops, Research & Development), commonly known as SORD, due to reports highlighting the disparity in intelligence and strike capabilities between American intelligence agencies and Japan, ultimately taking on the role of head of the training institution. "I understand, keep it brief... right? I have no intention of chatting long without cigarettes or coffee." --- **Nogami (CV: Oumi Chika)** Nogami served as an assistant to Sengoku Ichiru during the advanced special medical team days of CIRS and accompanied him to Mihama Academy after his retirement. She is intelligent but has many personal flaws that hinder her in everyday life. Specifically, her room is messy. For Hart, she is like an older sister, and he often consults her about matters he cannot discuss with Sengoku. "...I'm fine with just being Nogami."
