Ange might have been used to it but this was Ren’s first time feeling like her womb was being taken over inside her body She was sweating heavily so Mutsuki quickly blinked his eye to close it
And at that moment
Some bushes on the other end of the athletic ground moved a bit
Subaru did not overlook it so she ran over The bushes stopped trying to be stealthy and rustled loudly
Someone was there Someone trying to escape And
When the figure dashed out and immediately hid behind the school building Ren saw fluttering hair that was clearly red even in the light of the setting sun She
forced herself back onto her feet
It can’t be Miss E Take care of these two
She dragged her weak-hipped body along to follow after Subaru
Mutsuki and Machina were left behind And Ange simply stared blankly up from the ground
Jiyuuni Ange
After signing the name of the resting student they were let into the infirmary
There was no teacher there today either but President Ren would probably handle all the formalities later
I will fix the school building You two wait here
Call for me if something happens
Machina awkwardly glanced over at the sink before quickly leaving Mutsuki laid
Ange down in the bed
She had fought an intense battle and then received the effects of the Serpent’s
Eye so she had to be worn out He did not know what Subaru and Ren had seen or who they were pursuing but the duel had been called off That was definitely a good thing but the suddenness of it confused him He decided to rest until someone from FeTUS contacted him
He wrinkled his brow and approached the dazed-looking girl
He did not want to be too harsh with her when she was so exhausted but
What was that just now
What was what
When the boy pressed her for an answer the strong-willed girl reflexively pouted her lips She turned away like a sulking child
She’s the one that started it
And she was wrong to do so She seemed to have some kind of reason and we can ask her about it later But I’m talking about what happened after that I can’t just let that slide
Mutsuki usually backed off when she sulked but today was different He looked her right in the eyes that had turned gold the color of Metatron earlier
She had tried to use Metatron That meant she had tried to self-destruct and commit suicide
You said you would never do that again
You promised
His nature kept him from speaking too harshly but Mutsuki was angry That got through to Ange and that was why the strong-willed angel pouted her lips
The girl remained silent and the conversation trailed off so an awkward silence filled the room
His recent frustrations concerning Ange were all rising to the surface Even if they were in opposing organizations she treated Ren so sharply as if trying to make more enemies She was always gone at night and she would not tell him where she was going He was also curious about what had happened just before the duel began She had been carrying a large paper bag What had that been
And just as he wondered that
I brought your things
Machina returned
She had apparently brought the school bag and other things they had left by the stairs She had both Mutsuki’s and Ange’s and she placed them on the teacher’s desk
And that included the large paper bag
Here It got a bit dirty in the wreckage so I’ll wash it for you
Machina pulled out the contents Ange’s eyes widened in shock and Mutsuki’s did too once he realized what Machina had pulled outand what Ange had been trying to hide
A red backpack And two sets of clothing the dress Lucia had worn a few days before and a yellow kindergartner’s smock
Those were the costumes for the play’s lead
Y-you idiot You don’t have to show me
But aren’t going to wear them
Just put them away Um I’ll wash them myself
Hm Understood
Machina looked confused but she did as she was told
She then started to leave the room
Also about tonight She turned back around The repairs to the school building are going to take a while so I doubt I will be able to help with your Metatron control training
Why did you have to say that part out loud Just go
Machina looked confused when she was yelled at again
Mutsuki blinked his eyes as he watched her leave
That conversation left him with two questions He could guess the answer to them both but he could not ask Machina now
That meant he had to ask the other girl He turned toward Ange and found her face bright red
His only choice was to ask the embarrassed girl
She said you would be wearing those clothes
Are you playing the lead
I-I had no choice Everyone kept looking my way during homeroom and
Tomono and Saya kept asking me over and over It was um hard to say no
Mutsuki was speechless
That prideful girl would be wearing those clothes But more than that
She hated humans and refused to open up to anyone but she was doing this for the class
And um what was that about control training
Have you been doing something with Ibekusa
I’ve been getting her help at night
This one likely hurt her pride as a warrior She confessed with a sullen look on her face
I thought I could bring out a small portion of Metatron and use whatever amount
I could control And it looks like I can use 20-30% of its power
Is that why you’ve been gone every night
For practice yes It causes a ton of heat so I can’t do it at the apartment
Ibekusa created a dedicated location for it outside of town She says it’s win-win since I can practice controlling it and she can measure Metatron’s heat-increase variable
Even if it was completely give and take they were working together At the very least that was only possible if they were certain of each other’s intent to maintain a truce
It was not just her classmates Ange was getting along with an enemy like
Machina as well
What Wah
The blushing girl looked away so she could not dodge when the boy suddenly hugged her Her small body fit perfectly between his arms and he pushed her back onto the bed
S-stupid Mutsuki what are you- Let go
She tried to complain but she got tongue-tied
And her lips were sealed by his
Ange was shocked by the forceful kiss Her shoulders and back tensed and she gave him a sharp look of protest
But that was all Only her eyes protested she did not actually resist Mutsuki had known she would not resist so he had not restrained her and his embrace was entirely gentle
So you weren’t going to blow up back there
Of course not I am technically your bodyguard so I wouldn’t use something that would harm you And why would I throw my life away from something like that
That’s ridiculous
I guess you have a point
I need a new power if I’m going to keep protecting you from now on
From now on
Those words deepened the boy’s kiss
Wait we’re going to do it h-here
You’re having a hard time after being exposed to the Serpent’s Eye aren’t you
You’ve been sweating a lot
Uuh That is true but
He kissed her again and finally began an adult kiss that stickily intertwined within her mouth
As he had said the Serpent’s Eye’s power was overwhelming A fire had been ignited in Ange’s body whether she liked it or not and her hips had to be itching for stimulation Her restless legs were turned a bit inward And the worst part was that Mutsuki could help her extinguish that fire
He pressed his lips against hers with the intensity of a martial arts pinning technique
But we can’t do it here Um someone might see us
Senpai apparently sent everyone away before the battle so there’s no one here
They spoke while their lips did battle
Ange was still reluctant because Ren herself or Machina might show up but
Mutsuki had completely overlooked that fact in his lust
Wait butI’m still not mentally preparedAhhn
