Machina looked curious as she took a sip of tea
Do you not use milk or sugar
N-no Not since a bit ago
With that she took another sip of coffee with a blatantly displeased look on her face
Machina tilted her head and the maid laughed
Before she gave Fujita Mutsuki some black coffee to tease him but the boy just drank it like it was normal She can’t afford to let a younger boy outdo her so she’s been familiarizing her tongue with the bitter flavor Y-you didn’t have to explain it
You also kept complaining how bitter that bitter melon castella was but since it came from him you ate every last bite
She glared at Makoto who kept saying too much and Machina who was putting
sugar in her tea like normal Meanwhile she managed to finish her cup of coffee Even if it was black it was fortunately a lot less bitter and astringent than the canned kind she would drink with him (while mentally fighting it all the while) Then the remaining two arrived One was Miss C still in her teacher’s clothes
The other was Miss A whose usual young features had grown quite stern
Ren had known Miss A would be angry so she set down her cup and shrank down in her chair
But Miss Alice Arc shook her head to say they would talk later
Once all five of them were seated the surrounding scenery changed The image of the field had even reproduced the wind and sunny aroma but all of that vanished and they were surrounded by darkness and a metallic scent Realizing something was different from normal the other four straightened up
We have completed the genetic analysis of the change detected in Miss E’s breast milkthat is her mammary gland cells
Miss Alice looked straight at Machina
It was a 999999% match Calculating back from the DNA base only introduces a margin of error of 00001% so we can state with confidence that these cells
belong to the same person
The other three focused on Machina
The womb of Eve the perfect woman has been formed within Miss E’s body
The Holy Grail is complete
So the Holy Grail is complete
A man sat in a gloomy study
He was a large and muscular man His face and the rest of his skin were very wrinkly and his hair had some gray mixed in giving him an elderly appearance but his body itself was as young as a man in his twenties But that sense of youth had less to do with his body and more to do with what seemed to emanate from him
He gave off an intensity that was anything but aged It was like he had maintained the greed arrogance and almighty sense of an adolescent even in his old age He gave off a sinister ambition
Another man sat in a study seat He was the polar opposite a small and fat man
His frame was wide and his presence was almost frail
The aura from the two of them could not have been more different but their faces looked a lot alike
The youthful but elderly man was contrasted by the small man whose skin was that of a man in his twenties even if his frame was not They were apparently father and son
Two young girls stood next to the small man Riselle and Enju
Miss Arc is certainly persistent Does she seriously think she can save humanity
The small man gave a servile smile
My teacher never would compromise once she made up her mind
Riselle giggled happily and Enju looked disinterested while both of them leaned against the man’s lap
Regardless she undoubtedly intends to contaminate Lady Lilith’s heart
Unlike that lazy-looking trio the large man spoke with anger in his voice and then looked back Realizing laziness would not be allowed the trio straightened their backs
She must be eliminated Find what information you can on the Holy Grail Once we hold Adam we can use that information to threaten Miss A
His son did not sound very motivated but the two girls stood up They both got to work
The man anxiously gnashed his cigarette-stained teeth
I cannot stand her Do you intend to defy Lady Lilith’s heart even if it means leaving this world
He groaned out the words with the blood vessels bulging out at his temple
Curse that previous Eve Curse Lucya
Mutsuki knows of Lucya
Micha’s big bike was in the parking lot to the apartment building where the two angels and Mutsuki lived
Few people showed up there at this hour so it was a good place for a secret discussion Micha one of Mutsuki’s guardians would often speak here with Rapha the aide who helped her exchange information with heaven He has spoken the name a few times
Where did he hear about her I never told him
I do not know I cannot find any trace of him acquiring the information somewhere and he just suddenly started saying it Almost like he saw her in a dream
Sigh Micha leaned on the motorcycle she was straddling and she rested her elbow on the handlebars Do memories of a previous life really just show up like that I could understand if it was some kind of formative experience that really left a mark in your memories but someone’s name It would not normally be possible but for him Maybe
It certainly is convenient being Adam I guess it isn’t called the original Fruit of Knowledge for nothing
What should we do Micha This isn’t entirely unrelated to you
Let’s leave it be for now It isn’t harming anything And this should make a good barometer for seeing how far his Fruit of Knowledge has awoken
She sounded indifferent and she pulled a plastic bag from the luggage carrier installed next to the clutch pedal It was from a nearby convenience store and it contained beer as usual
So the Adolescent Adam will eventually grow up huh I’m not sure if that makes me happy or sad
She got down from the motorcycle and started toward the elevator to say the report was over
More importantly you need to look into how Kagari Enju’s body was stolen
She looked back just once with an unusually harsh look for her
I don’t want Ange to see a demon made from her original body
I understand
The angel young man’s tone was similarly dark
Permanent Name Kagari Enju had a spirituality and battle sense not often seen in recent years
Her soul had been reborn as the angel named Jiyuuni Ange but it turned out her body had been reborn as a demon
She had the same battle sense as Ange she had a demonic body and she could even use FeTUS technology She was clearly the most formidable foe they had faced
But beyond that
That body came from my precious little sister I cannot allow this mockery to continue I swear to you I will track her down and punish her appropriately
Make sure you do
The two older angels who watched over Ange were mostly driven by pure anger
over having the cute younger angel’s previous life defiled
Rapha left and Micha rode the elevator up to their room
Mutsuki and Ange would still be up and she sensed someone in the living room when she opened the door
She prepared to say she was back but then she saw her expression in the entranceway mirror
It was tense from a mixture of various forms of mental weariness
She could not show them that face when she was supposed to help those two feel at ease She slapped her cheeks and put on a smile
She energetically threw the living room door open
Wah M-Micha
Mutsuki was alone He seemed to be fidgeting in front of the TV
You’re back already Um I thought you were going to be out late again
I finished what I was doing so I probably won’t be playing around with my bike for a while Well I’ll ride it some for fun but I won’t be riding all night long anymoreIs something the matter
N-no not really
That boy could not keep how he felt off his face so he was blatantly panicked and glancing worriedly toward his room
Wondering what this was about Micha tilted her head and followed his gaze toward his room
Mutsuki Are you readyhwah
Just then the door opened and Ange poked her head out
Micha did not get a good look since Ange immediately slammed the door shut but the boy and girl were clearly flustered And Micha was clever enough to put two and two together here
