Mutsuki let the demon embrace him in mock fear
Both arms and legs her back muscles her belly muscles the base of her legs her groin muscles and the front and back holes Her muscles and more were apparently aching or throbbing so
Ange was in an especially bad mood today
I’m not sure I get it Oh is this what they call ‘that time of the mo-gfh
Sakae made an unnecessary comment and was quickly purged by a backhand blow from Saya
Are you okay Ange If your stomach hurts I know a medicine that works pretty well
Thanks but leave me alone
The second day It must be pretty bad
But Saya’s unnecessary comment only irritated Ange further
She was truly in a bad mood now so she turned to look out the window Concerned Saya and
teasing Lucia both had to give up
Ange sure is unlucky if she’s feeling bad on the most exciting day of the year
Mutsuki suddenly realized that Saya Sakae and the rest of the class were cheerful
Yeah It is the closing ceremony after all
And you know what that means starts tomorrow right
Summer breeak
Yes yes yees
Sakae shouted and Saya hopped up and down
No one in the classroom seemed bothered by all the noise
Summer break began the following day so they all felt in the mood to shout
Ohh Let’s party until we drop Mutsuki We need to get together to plan it out but let’s go to the mountains Let’s go camping in the mountains Or the beach Either one’s fine I don’t care where but let’s go enjoy our summerr Y-yeah Ow ow
Shouting seemed to have filled Sakae with even more excitement because he began slapping Mutsuki’s back
Camping That sounds like fun Count me in
Saya began slapping Sakae’s back
What You’re coming I guess one of the tents will have to be extra-large
Why
Because you’re several sizes larger than the average- ow ow ow ow Don’t pinch me like that
Their exchange was par for the course and Lucia looked up while happily rubbing his face against
Mutsuki’s chest
Camping is where you sleep outside right Then I’m going too
Eh heh heh I get to sleep with
Mutsuki
Mutsuki had a feeling he meant more than just sleep And then
Oh good morning Ibekusa
At half past eight Machina arrived at the exact same time as always
What would happen between her and Ange after the latter had nearly destroyed FeTUS headquarters just two days before Mutsuki was a little nervous
But neither of them said a thing Machina walked silently past like always and took her seat in front of Ange
When she noticed Mutsuki’s gaze she glanced out the window at the partially-restored clock tower The students had been told the typhoon had destroyed just the top portion and it would soon be repaired She glanced at her headquarters where repairs were beginning She had no intention of changing their position as passive enemies
Or rather she did not want to make this worse if she did not have to
Hey hey Maki-nyan
Saya embraced Machina from behind
You come camping too okay Let’s all go together
Ever the optimist Saya did not hesitate to invite the girl who seemed out of place in the class
Machina seemed confused but she figured it out when she saw Mutsuki’s bitter smile
Agreed
Okay I’ll get you the details once we’ve worked them out
That’s one more This is looking fun
By the way what is ‘Maki-nyan’
The girl seemed confused again but Saya moved to the seat behind her
Ange you’re coming too right
Saya did not even hesitate to invite the blatantly upset girl
Ange had been listening and she hesitated a little but
Of course I’m not going on something so ridiculous I’m not interested in making friends
She glanced at Machina and glared at Lucia as she spoke
Ehh C’moon You’ve gotta do these things while you’re young
I don’t care
We’ll bring a bunch of fried chicken
Do you think I’m a dog
Ange looked away again
Saya puffed out her cheeks and sought help so Mutsuki gave her a bitter smile that said he would persuade her
Either way she was his bodyguard so she would be going if he was
And more importantly Ange was showing no sign of opening up despite everything that had happened That was just like her but he still sighed
Time for homeroom Get to your seats
Their homeroom teacher Katsue-sensei walked in so Sakae and Saya returned to their seats and Lucia took his in the back
Katsue-sensei aka Schwarze looked across them all and finally glared at Ange
That girl had destroyed their headquarters and their teacher was not as forgiving as Machina
But she made sure to do her job as teacher
Today is the closing ceremony We will move to the gym at 9 15 but I will be handing out your summer homework first Take one and pass the rest back
She calmly got to work
She started passing out enough printouts to fill the class with depressed looks But
Oh right First here’s what you asked for Fujita
What Oh yeah Thanks
She waved an object toward Mutsuki
What is it what is it
He took it and Lucia peered in from the seat behind him Mutsuki held it out so the demon boy could see
It’s a student handbook Mine was ruined in the rain the day before yesterday so I ordered a new one yesterday
On the way back from school and during Micha and Lucia’s fight his handbook had been soaked by the rain and its contents had grown illegible
While everyone passed back the homework Mutsuki quickly wrote his name class and
attendance number in the new handbook
That would normally be the end of it but he had one more thing to do
He pulled a card folder from his bag
In it was his collection of photo booth pictures of himself with his friends He liked to place those photo stickers of his good friends on the back of the handbook
He started sticking them on They ranged from nursery school to quite recently
The very top was reserved for his favorite ones That had only been one with Sakae until recently but now he had another one there too
Huh
He looked to that new sticker
His fingers stopped on that photo with Ange
They had only taken the photo two months before and he had only used one of the stickers for his previous handbook but two of the stickers were missing
He tilted his head wondering if he had dropped one somewhere
He had stored the card folder in an unlocked drawer at home so someone could have easily walked into his room and taken it But
He looked to the girl sitting diagonally behind him
Ange had been glancing over at him again and again but she blushed when their eyes met
She made the usual lopsided frown and looked out the window once more
Adolescent Adam 4 Afterword
Hello I read and researched the bible a lot for this series but I haven’t had much of a chance to use it(sob) This is Sakakikasa
The title this time was Fall of a Sanctuary How did you like it I think I had quite a few sanctuaries fall FeTUS’s sanctuary Ange’s sanctuary Machina’s sanctuary and Lucia’s sanctuarynot to mention Atomic Bunko’s sanctuary and Kill Time Communication’s sanctuary But due to that the events throughout ended up being a little more severe than usual so it might have left a different impression on you Sorry I think I’ll make up for that by making the next one a relaxed slice of life volume But what do about Saya’s sanctuary Now for my thanks Amagai-sensei thank you very much for all the wonderful designs starting with how cute Miss A is And sorry for giving you such vague & ridiculous instructions every time
I will of course be depending on you next time as well
Editor T you were a lot of help And you don’t need to be that afraid of releasing the shota
Bye We should meet again a little sooner this time
Adolescent Adam 5 Prologue
A long summer break could feel very short
That was generally how people felt when they filled their time with worthwhile activities whether that was studying fun or club activities
