BlazBlue:Trigger Shift Hazama's Side

Hazama’s Side

A magical ship owned by the NOL. Special seats are furnished with the elegance of a hotel room rather than an airplane with comfortable sofa seats.

A man in a black suit, who belonged to the Intelligence Department, was sitting at one of these seats, which was only available to special executives within the NOL.

"Yes, yes, this is Hazama of the Intelligence Department... oh, I see. You were able to secure Major Jin-Kisaragi? That's good, thank you for your efforts."

The man in the black suit, Hazama, answered the card-shaped communicator in his hand with a casual tone that did not fit with the seat of an executive.

He moved the communicator from his right ear to his left ear, and while doing so, leaned back with his elbows on the seat railing.

"Now, please take him to the Ars Magus Vessel on the 5th layer. ...No, stay on standby. ...Yep, please do that. Okay."

After cutting the communication with a quiet electronic sound, Hazama let out a deep sigh and leaned back against the seat as if he felt at home.

He placed the communicator on the table beside his seat and then held his hand up to eyes level and slowly squeezed it.

"The “Life-Link”… it seems to be working. There is no sense of discomfort. It's a great thing you're a the "Eye of the Azure" as an Observer."

He chuckles as he blurts that out and drops to his knees, spreading his hands out. Then a door slid open and a low-ranking officer from the Librarium walked in.

"Excuse me, Captain Hazama. It will be some time before we arrive, may I offer you something?"

"Oh, yes, I'll have a cup of tea with...some boiled eggs."

"Boiled eggs, sir?"

"Oh. Don't we have any?"

"No, no, right away!"

When Hazama showed his deep regret, the young officer responded with a jump, bowed, and left.

When the sound of restless footsteps faded away and became completely inaudible, Hazama carelessly grabbed the communicator and this time transmitted himself.

"This is Hazama from the Intelligence Division. Please turn me over to Engineering Department Colonel Relius Clover."

After a few moments of silence, a low, cold, unsympathetic man's voice came back from the other end of the communicator.

"It's me."

"Hey, buddy. It's been a while."

Hazama's tune changed abruptly. It wasn't just his tone though. The smile that had been soft a moment ago became twisted into a disturbing expression, and his eyes glittered with ferocity and cunning, as if he were inspecting his prey.

But the man on the other end of the line, Relius, seemed unfazed by this change.

"You... it seems to have worked well."

"Yeah, thanks a lot."

Hazama crossed his legs. At the same time, he changed his tone again to a more amused one.

"Ah yes, the 12th subject inherited the Azure."

His shifting attitude was like a shadow turning left and right depending on the direction the light was shining.

Beyond the communicator, he heard Relius growl lowly, as if he were showing interest.

"The 12th Prime Field... I thought it was a failure... I'm heading to Kagutsuchi, I'd like to see it with my own eyes."

"Oh, you're actually coming, huh? That's pretty rare."

"I want to test a few things."

"Well, do whatever you want... For now, please come to the Third Level City of Kagatsuchi. We'll talk more about it there."

With a small suggestive chuckle, Hazama cut the communication.

Hazama got nothing to do until the Ars Magus Vessel arrives on the Third Level.

(I think I'll take a nap.)

Then he remembered that there was one more place he had to contact. "Oh, how shamful! I should never neglect an important actor, no matter how small their role is."

While making fun of someone who wasn't there, Hazama called up his contact as if he were calling a close buddy.

After a couple of rings, Hazama gave his identity and name to the young female officer who answered, and he quickly told her what he wanted.

"Please summon Lieutenant Tsubaki Yayoi of the 0th Squadron to the third level city of Kagatsuchi. ...Yes, thank you very much."

"That's it." he said, tossing the communicator to the side table, just as the officer from earlier appeared with a cup of tea and a boiled egg.

After placing the entire tray on the side table, the young officer bowed and walked quickly away. Hearing the door close behind his seat, Hazama put a deep smile on his face and placed his hand on his teacup.

"Now, this is going to be interesting... hehe... hehehehehehe..."

Hazama's golden eyes gleamed viciously in the shadow of his hat. Like the dawn of a soundless night, time moves forward moment by moment. Knowing what awaits us ahead, we continue to move forward in cruelty.
