Akeboshi Himari/Story

#### In Search of the Mirror

Himari is introduced as Veritas' Club President and the creator of the Optimus Mirror System, which the Game Development Department and Veritas need to unlock the G.BIBLE. Unfortunately, the mirror was confiscated by Yuuka after Kotama attempted to use it to read Sensei's text messages. In order to retrieve the Mirror not just for the sake of unlocking the G.BIBLE, but also to prevent Veritas from facing Himari's ire, the Game Development Department and Veritas team up to steal the Mirror back from Seminar. However, unbeknownst to them, the entire plan was tipped off to Seminar by none other than Himari herself.

#### Just Getting Warmed Up

Neru informs the rest of C&C that Rio has withdrawn the request for their assistance in intercepting the Game Develpment Department and their collaborators. She surmises that the entire request was a test carried out by either Seminar's president, Rio, or Himari, in order to gauge Arisu's capabilities.

At Veritas's end, Himari reveals to them that she already knew that the Mirror was confiscated, and that they can simply come and borrow it at any time in the future.

## Event Story

### Special Operations: Decagrammaton

After Decagrammaton hacks into Millennium's communications unit AI "Hub," Rio "requests" Himari to transfer to the Paranormal Affairs Department and take over as the president. Although Himari was adamant on rejecting any and all requests from Rio, she was unable to refuse the request to investigate Decagrammaton. To this end, Himari employs the aid of Schale, as Schale was the first documented source to ever encounter the AI. As for Veritas, she temporarily leaves Chihiro in charge.

With Schale's assistance, the Paranormal Affairs Department is able to collect data concerning Decagrammaton by scouring the Abydos Desert, where Binah had previously emerged. Back at the secured room, Himari hastily organizes the data in order to begin understanding Decagrammaton, but is interrupted by an intruder in the server before she is able to begin. In an attempt to cull the threat after it manages to break through all of their firewalls, Eimi destroys the secured room's power source. However, Decagrammaton appears nonetheless, prompting Himari to acknowledge it as a "paranormal phenomenon." Nevertheless, Decagrammaton is eventually repelled following a failed hacking attempt on the Shittim Chest, leaving Himari to call Decagrammaton "delusional." In wake of the incident, Himari orders Eimi to begin preparations for a proper clubroom to handle future affairs, as they will be the ones to initiate contact with Decagrammaton in the future.

After the establishment of their clubroom, Eimi brings Sensei to the new room, which Himari proclaims is the safest place in all of Kivotos, being protected by a firewall designed by none other than herself. Regarding Decagrammaton, Himari proposes that they look for its prophets, whose names match three of the sephira in the forgotten ancient legend of the Tree of Life. To that end, she decides to scour the Abydos Desert again, with the intention of gathering enough data to hack into Kaiser PMC's database, of whom have encountered Binah numerous times. When Eimi and Sensei return from their skirmish with Kaiser PMC, Himari hacks into their database and discover that all the information has been transferred to Kaiser Corporation. She then decides to hack into Kaiser Corporation's databases and manages to find the PMC's engagement records with Binah. She also tries hacking deeper to aquire information about what Kaiser was excavating in the Abydos desert, but is stopped by Eimi due to it being unrelated.

Using the data taken from Kaiser's databases, Himari develops an algorithm to predict the next location Binah will appear with an 80% accuracy, but warns that it'll only work once since Binah will likely change its movement pattern after this. Sensei and Eimi successfully locate Binah and collect data on it, allowing Himari to compile an analysis of the construct. Himari then proposes that they turn their attention to Chesed next.
