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
