It just piles up like this

There’s no helping that

She had only completed half of it but she held her eyelids to fight the weariness

I mean you were busy all week with the Kurosaki issue

Kurosaki Their expressions darkened at the mention of that name

Even if she was only attending the academy as a camouflage life it was unthinkable for someone as diligent as Ren to neglect her Student Council work

She never would have let it build up to this extent

If not for all of her time going into investigating Kurosaki as they showed signs of approaching Fujita Mutsuki

We are doing everything in our power to investigate this so you can focus on school Miss B

I know that But

Ren in particular was working on her own to investigate this

–Her personal grudge against them for taking away the cousin she saw as a little sister had only deepened recently

Then why not get someone else to help

When the atmosphere grew heavy Makoto quickly avoided that subject

Miss C and I are teachersand you had Fujita Mutsuki help you before didn’t you

I only had him help as a punishment I can’t restrain him for longer than necessary

You really are stubborn Just ask him for help and you’ll get it

That’s not the issue

Ren replied coldly but the topic had been successfully changed Her expression softened as soon they began discussing that boy

Thenwhat about Miss E

Although it quickly became troubled again

MachinaMiss E is out of the question

I suppose so This is an important period for her

Makoto had suggested it but she smiled bitterly as if this was the obvious result

What Miss E aka Machina was doing now was the most important thing for FeTUS as a whole so as irresponsible as it was it took precedence over the cultural festival

FeTUS’s final proposition was reliant on Machina’s current actions

Miss D tapped her heel against the floor that had become a chair The Springloaded reacted by activating a holographic vision of some text in the air

The Holy Grail PlanWe’ve finally made it this far

The text really only looked like letters written neatly on some kind of document but it was better called a pattern It was as disorderly as graffiti but the whole formed a geometric shape

It was a language not found anywhere in the world Each of those runes contained as much data as 1024 letters of the alphabet and only the FeTUS Witches could decode it in modern civilization

The simplest part was the portrait photo in the top left corner like it was a resume

Eve ex Machina If we humans truly can create divine genes I would honestly feel more frightened then proud as a follower of science

They both viewed the photo

The rune-covered document contained as much data as an encyclopedia but it still only contained the bare minimum of records

To those two Witches that expressionless face of FeTUS Witches Miss E aka

Ibekusa Machina reminded them of far more data

I used modern genes to calculate out what the Fruit of Knowledge had to have provided recreated the genes of Eve and modeled the missing portions off of that boy After following Adam’s genes to recreate the missing data I remade her womb for compatibility andjust thinking about all the work is making me feel faint but I managed somehow Stop that

Ren shook her head while staring at the photo of Machina

Miss E is a proper human Do not talk about ‘recreating’ and ‘modeling’

Yes I misspoke

Makoto used a bitter smile to dodge an issue for the second time that day

As a scientist she could not rid herself of the dry feelings of being the girl’s creator but she did not see Machina as a mere tool She thought of her as a little sister or a daughter

But she could not contain her excitement when she saw that daughter’s growth after raising her to be a partner to the Adam boy Fujita Mutsuki

Especially with Machina fast approaching her ultimate objective

S-so how are things between them Miss B Do you think it will go well

She was also interested in a gossipy kind of way about the relationship between

the young boy and girl Her eyes sparkled as she leaned forward

What a pain

Ren shrugged and did not reply

There was no way she could tell Makoto that

Friday was the day before the cultural festival so the atmosphere surrounding

Megutono Academy shifted from excited to anxious

Student Council President Shirohara Ren enjoyed that nicely tense atmosphere

President we have some sample yakisoba so please eat it

Yes I will stop by later

Presideent come listen to us perform

Later okay

Everyone had already completed their entry for the festival so they were in the final rehearsal and testing phase

The Student Council was going around to ensure there was no trouble in this crucial stage but the President was so popular that people kept calling out to her

It had only been a bit over half a month since she had returned to her position as President but Shirohara Ren was fulfilling her duties perfectly

Ange-chaan over here over here We don’t have much time for the final

rehearsal

Yes yesAh

Except when it came to her attitude toward one person

While walking through the school she ran across the last person she wanted to see

The red-haired girl must have been participating in the play because she was carrying some things

As soon as she saw Ren the corners of Ange’s eyes rose sharply

She showed blatant hostility Ren decided she should ignore it but

She glared back

Ren strictly politely and (most of all) mechanically served the school as President

but she always responded emotionally to this one student Jiyuuni Ange

Ignoring the girl and moving on would be the best course of action Ange would never back down if Ren glared back at her She knew this would only prevent either one of them from backing down

Ever since they had clashed and never reached a satisfying conclusion Ren had felt an extreme dislike of this angel as a teenage girl rather than as a logical Witch

Ange-chaan Oh President What’s up

Mh Hello

They were saved when the angel’s friend called out to them

That distraction allowed Ren to stop glaring Ange must have been satisfied with that because she gave a hmph and left with her friend

Ren regretted what she had done She was not a child and yet she had fallen for such blatant provocation

Miss A is not going to be happy

Then she heard a chuckling voice arrive in place of the angel

This voice was even more blatantly provoking than Ange’s glareRen simply gave a displeased look but then she turned around

Yes I need to do better You have caused enough trouble yourself so I need to avoid placing any more of a burden on my teacher

She turned around to find not a student but the teacher named Katsue Subaru aka FeTUS Witches Miss C

This was someone else Ren was better off avoiding as President although for a different reason than with Ange

When Ren responded sharply Subaru’s eyebrows twitched behind her glasses

Even if they did not get along they were from the same organization They knew the appropriate distance to keep between each other

Inspecting the festival Must be tough being Student Council President

What I’m doing isn’t much different from a teacher’s job

They began walking side by side

Whatever they felt on the inside they would be seen as teacher and President so they continued their inspection

How is your class doing

She naturally asked about her biggest concern

As Student Council President Ren was privy to all the details of the festival events but when it came to Fujita Mutsuki Miss C would know more as his homeroom teacher

There’s nothing to say Everyone is enjoying the cultural festival The one surprise is how much Jiyuuni is getting into the rehearsals

With a glance in the direction of the gym Ange and her friend had entered Subaru shrugged
