[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.6 [VJ012570]

**Story** Aoi Haruto (Haru), the handler at Mihama Academy. For him, that day was just another ordinary day. However, his demeanor and words seemed different from usual. Sensing this, the students at Mihama also lost their composure. Haruto leaves the academy and heads to a certain mountain for a grave visit with former Phantom Trigger members, including Sengoku Ichiru and Ugawa Chihiro. Resting at the mountain's peak is Haruto's mentor, "Aoi." This is an annual journey to reunite with her. Along the way, they exchange light banter, but suddenly they are struck by loneliness, leaving them momentarily speechless. They recall Aoi's life, which was pure yet ferocious. "If all you feel is regret from losing, then just quit. If you can't think of losing as a good experience, then you're not cut out for this." "What you stake your life on depends on that person's values." "You're too kind; you're not suited to be an assassin..." "Hey! Haruto! Get a grip! You’re going to die!" "...Hey, give me back my cigarettes... Master..." A life passed down. "Everything that has form will eventually break, and everything that is alive will eventually die. That is all there is to it." What was happening in this world at Aoi's last moment...? --- **Characters** - **Rena: Fukami Rena (CV: Maaya Uchida)** A gun user. Hired to shoot guns on behalf of Haruto, who avoids using them, and is a student at Mihama. Cheerful and friendly, she has a tall, well-proportioned body, and her long limbs are smooth and strong, making her active and robust. She is also responsible and vigilant, always attentive to her surroundings and extremely obedient and loyal to her employer, Haruto. While her physical abilities are high, her academic performance sometimes struggles, and she can get sulky when scolded, but she has a strong desire to learn and improves with praise. She prefers using 1911-type handguns and practices shooting about 200 rounds daily. She has a tendency to become attached to guns she likes and remembers their feel, so she is reluctant to use others. It can be said that her continued use of .45 caliber bullets, which have already been deemed "ineffective" by law enforcement, is obsessive, going so far as to have the bullets customized by a gunsmith. She holds a motorcycle license and secretly sneaks out of the dorm at night to eat ramen. "I haven't eaten enough lately... like meat... or sushi..." - **Toka: Shishigaya Toka (CV: Ayane Sakura)** A sniper. A half-Japanese girl with an American father and a German mother. Trained in self-defense and rifles from a young age by her father, a former soldier, she holds the record for the youngest winner in the rifle category at local shooting competitions. After her mother's death, she spent two years with her father in a PMC (Private Military Company). Her personality is highly combative, sometimes acting impulsively with violence, and she can be described as a "tsundere." Although curious, she has a rational side that dislikes hassle and waste, and despite her youthful and adorable appearance, she is strong-willed and cautious. In her childhood, she almost shot a door-to-door salesman with a shotgun while home alone, which led to her becoming extremely shy around strangers. She tends to dislike new people initially but shows strong dependence on those she recognizes as "friends" or "companions." She struggles to make friends and often behaves maturely to compensate for her small stature. "That's right! So remember this! Calling me 'cute' is an insult!!" - **Chris: Kujise Christina Sakurako (CV: Kaori Nazuka)** A specialist in bombs and computers. An English girl from Shanghai. She ranks 8th out of 148 students at Mihama Academy and is responsible for teaching her classmates. Extremely gentle and polite, she is said to be the scariest when angered. Like Haruto, she doesn't favor guns and sometimes refuses to carry them. The self-defense gun she uses is one meant to be returned due to a manufacturing error. She has beautiful blonde hair, which she used to wear long, but after accidentally igniting it while making a homemade bomb in a school restroom in elementary school, she has kept it short ever since. She is caring and excels at household chores, often acting like a dorm mother by preparing meals and cleaning for the students. She has weak eyesight and wears contact lenses except when sleeping; she only wears glasses for a very brief time after waking up. "If you step on a landmine and find yourself in a dire situation, please don't hesitate to call me." - **Murasaki: Inugoma Usaki (CV: Atsumi Tanezaki)** Self-proclaimed Russian ninja. While she claims to be a ninja, much about her background remains a mystery. According to her, she holds a red badge (specialist) for local ninja qualifications and a gold badge (ninja master) for international qualifications. Skilled in disguise, she often takes on infiltration tasks and performs assassinations using a gun that fires .22 caliber subsonic rounds. She carries compact weapons suitable for concealed carry, such as small-caliber automatic pistols and kunai, and dislikes larger weapons like rifles and swords. She has an elusive personality, rarely showing her true feelings and enjoying confusing those around her with her mysterious behavior. One of the few ninja-like traits she exhibits is wearing a scarf around her neck even in summer. It has a design that seems to appeal to female students, but it is made of a mix of artificial protein and aramid fibers, giving it bulletproof and fire-resistant properties. She has been friends with Haruto since childhood, looking up to him like an older brother, while also harboring deeper feelings. In hand-to-hand combat, she ranks third after Rena in strength and Haruto in technique. "...So, I'm just a girl who likes ninjas, nothing special..." - **Maki: Inohara Maki (CV: Yoshino Nanjo)** Also known as "Soul Speed Maki." Formerly known as "Bax." She was bought by a Russian crime organization and worked as both an assassin and a transporter. Large and strong, she rides her blue-silver GSX-R at reckless speeds. Having spent her childhood in a "killer training facility," she has an aggressive personality and is a big eater. She can sleep anywhere after getting full. Although she has a strong sense of caution and can be difficult, she is actually quite naive. She treasures a Swiss mechanical watch. She owns four Glock 26s, each named. "I’m not joking! I’m not stupid enough to shoot it out with a .45 caliber!" - **Gumi: Kumashiro Megumi (CV: Suzuko Mimori)** A sniper. She was part of the Mountain Sniping Department at the sister school of Mihama Academy, Seirei Eir Foreign School. Due to her skills, it is rumored that once caught in her right eye, one cannot escape, earning her the title of "The Witch Eye User." She looked up to her senior, Aizumi Shiho, with whom she was paired as an observer at Seirei. With a soldier-like personality, she is dedicated to completing her missions with utmost seriousness. She has a strong sense of justice and cannot tolerate indecency. Occasionally, she surprises those around her with sudden and insightful comments. She excels at eating quickly, with a speed that overwhelms others. Her main arm is the Blaser R93. "...I'm sorry, senior... but I still have things I must do... things I need to accomplish..." - **Taiga: Sengoku Taiga (CV: Natsumi Takamori)** Cousin of the academy principal, Sengoku Ichiru, and a member of the Mihama Academy’s elementary support engineering department. Born as the youngest daughter of the Sengoku family (the wife’s child), she was raised like a princess. Intelligent, she passed the university entrance aptitude test with a comprehensive score. Due to her training in imperial studies, her arrogant demeanor stands out. As a result, she sometimes finds others keeping their distance from her, but she does not care at all. Ignoring age restrictions and the opinions of those around her, she hopes to engage in activities beyond her means. She is earnest and has a childlike side, often being called "Milkshake Master" by Rena. After persistently hoping to join Class A with Chris and the others, Haruto finds himself forced to respond to her request. "Kujise... when will I be allowed to go into practice?" - **Yuki: Inugoma Yuki (CV: Mikako Sasaki)** A ninja. Sister of Inugoma Usaki. She has returned to Mihama after completing a long-term mission abroad. Her ninja rank is the same as Murasaki's, "Ninja Master." She seems to have many friends, regardless of gender, but it appears she has no one she can call a close friend. Her personality is bright and light-hearted, with a mischievous streak, often exhibiting playful behavior. She openly expresses her affection for men she likes and does not try to hide her feelings, leading those around her to label her as a flirt, though in reality, this is a facade to hide her true nature. The weapons she uses are the Bulgarian Makarov (with a suppressor) and the Krinkov (AKS-74U). "Oh, come on, why do you lie so easily?" - **Teacher Arisaka: Arisaka Akizuki (CV: Mikako Izawa)** A new teacher who has arrived at the academy without being informed of much and has found herself in an outrageous situation. Her personality is extremely serious. So serious that she is almost useless. To say she is "modest" feels like an understatement; to put it bluntly, she is simply cowardly. She is not particularly adept at her job, often likened to someone who "breaks a stone bridge by tapping it and is found lamenting by her superior." She claims to have had bad luck since childhood, making her prone to drawing the short straw in various situations. While this description may seem like she has terrible luck, in reality, her bad luck is just slightly below average. For example, on New Year’s Day, she drew a fortune that said "Inukichi" (likely due to dirt on the printing), was laughed at by her friends, and was told, "Doesn’t that mean your lucky item is a dog?" When she tried to pet a dog nearby, she got bitten. She is a very ordinary person, fitting the term "commoner," and serves as a refreshing presence in the bizarre world of Mihama. "...I know it's too late, but... is it really okay for someone like me to be here...?" - **Haruto: Aoi Haruto** A tactical instructor at Mihama Academy and a former CIRS officer serving as a handler for the students. He looks young but has extensive field experience and knows many current CIRS officers. He is mild-mannered but is often described as a "bully king" at Mihama, especially by the girls, who sometimes find him childish. He tends not to talk much about his past, and often his own memories are vague, leaving many blanks in his history. He is not good with guns and struggles to hit targets. His poor aim has led some to speculate that he is deliberately missing. He has little attachment to food and will only eat salad if left to his own devices. In actual combat situations, he often takes command of operations but rarely goes to the front lines himself. The weapon he uses is a "blade," but its manufacturing process is different from that of a Japanese sword, so it cannot truly be called a katana. "Haha, my classmates often call me a jerk." - **Sengoku Ichiru (CV: Toa Yukinari)** Principal of Mihama Academy. A former CIRS officer, he previously served as the head of the Comprehensive Research Group, engaging in medical and psychological work, and held dual roles as the chief of the medical team and commander of the Psychological Operations Command. As a result, he has many acquaintances in the upper echelons of CIRS, and it is rumored that he holds "weaknesses" over many CIRS officers due to his position. When the CIRS organization was reformed, he was among the first to be reassigned. During the CIRS reform, he proposed the establishment of a private contractor-type covert intelligence training organization (Social Ops, Research & Development), commonly known as SORD, and upon his reassignment to the private sector, he became the head of this training organization. "I understand, keep it brief... right? I have no intention of making small talk without cigarettes or coffee." - **Nogami (CV: Chie Oumi)** Served as Ichiru Sengoku's assistant during his time in the CIRS Advanced Special Medical Team and accompanied him to Mihama Academy after his retirement. She is highly intelligent but has many human flaws that hinder her in everyday life. Specifically, her room is messy. For Haruto, she is like an older sister, and he often consults her for matters he cannot discuss with Sengoku. "...Nogami is just fine." - **Yamamoto Izumi (CV: Haruka Kitagaki)** A gunsmith belonging to Mihama Academy's 2nd Year Mechanical Engineering Department, Class 1 (2M1). She specializes in metal and resin processing and takes care of almost all the guns and ammunition used by students at Mihama. When she receives a gun for maintenance, she can understand the shooter’s condition and how the gun has been used based on its wear. Additionally, every time she works on a gun, the QR code seal is updated. She sometimes gets lost in her own world, playing air guitar while listening to loud, chaotic music through her headphones. "If you don’t like the ammo we've prepared, you don’t have to force yourself to use it!?" - **Ugawa Chihiro (CV: Sho Sudo)** A handler (instructor) at "Kyosen Sakuragaoka," the sister school of Mihama Academy, responsible for training Vanilla and Choco. He has a background as a former CIRS officer and previously worked in the same unit as Haruto. "You two, just stop it there." - **Ayame: Sengoku Ayame (CV: Naoto Kobayashi)** The younger brother of Sengoku Ichiru (the eldest son of the Sengoku family). A handler at Seirei Eir, he is a recluse. Rarely appearing in public, he is handsome but has a plump physique. He is in charge of Sylvia and Velvet. He has a blunt way of speaking that can be described as "arrogant" or "rude." "...By the way, who are you? Please tell me your name; I shall remember it for life, so be grateful." - **Aoi: Aoi Aoi (CV: Ami Koshimizu)** A member of the precursor organization to SORD, the CIRS reserve officer at Mihama (commonly known as "Phantom Trigger"), and a gun user (shooter). She is an upper-class assassin from Hollow House, given to her master, Sengoku Ichiru, when he left his family, and she hails from the most extreme era known as "pre-regulation," where Hollow House specialized in cultivating killing abilities. A "violence device" in stark contrast to a "national defense device." She rarely listens to her master, Sengoku Ichiru, and often suffers from the backlash of "brainwashing," writhing in agony while clutching her head. Despite her seemingly ridiculous name, she likes it because "it's easy to remember." She was entrusted with young Haruto and took care of him. "...So, I'm sorry. I don't have time to leisurely beat you to death anymore." - **Enishi: Urushihara Enishi (CV: Kenji Hamada)** A member of the precursor organization to SORD, the CIRS reserve officer at Mihama (commonly known as "Phantom Trigger"), who served as a case officer and handler. His job was to teach students his skills, keeping them slightly away from the dangers of duty. He is usually calm and composed, but on the field, his skills can make enemies seem pitiful. He rarely boasts about his abilities in peacetime but is not a taciturn man; rather, he is quite talkative. Among the bizarre members, he is the only sane adult and acts as a father figure to Haruto. "Aoi-kun, this isn't a game; finish it properly. There's no need to take a job that seriously." - **Chloe: Samejima Kuroe (CV: Ai Kakuma)** A member of the precursor organization to SORD, the CIRS reserve officer at Mihama (commonly known as "Phantom Trigger"), who serves as Enishi's bodyguard secretary. Like Aoi, she is a downer-type assassin from Hollow House. She and Aoi are contemporaries, both having been raised in Hollow House during the most extreme era known as "pre-regulation," where they specialized in killing abilities. She is quiet and clever, loyally following her master, Urushihara Enishi. "...No problem... I will protect the teacher..."
