He rushed through the door to find Ren collapsed on the bed and Riselle cleaning up Riselle whispered something in Ren’s ear and Ren said something in response
He could not hear what they said but it seemed like they were simply checking on something they had already agreed to He could see no emotion in the exchange
A little brother hm
But he was a little bothered by the somewhat displeased look on Riselle’s face when she looked up and toward him
That sulking lasted just a moment before her usual expression returned and she left to follow after Shuntarou
He was curious about that but he needed to be here more He ran to the bed and lifted Ren up to a sitting position
She said nothing and had tears in her eyes but a relieved smile appeared on her face when she realized it was him And the loosening of her expression allowed the tears to flow down her cheeks
I finallyfound you Fujita It took so long
She coughed something up
He thought she had vomited at first but he soon realized it was a swelling of dark red flesh It was a demon servant known as a Succubus And once Ren spat it out her black hair and Asian skin color returned to her original blonde and milky white I needed to infiltrate the Kurosaki Familybut FeTUS tech would have been noticed I never imaged I would get help from a demonbut I figured I could trust Satowa Lucia since he’s your friend
She really was here to search for him
Mutsuki had no way of knowing what lengths she had gone to do this He could guess she had agreed to some kind of slave contract gone through the ordinary training and reached a high enough level for the trainer to bring her here Then she must have waited until Kurosaki Shuntarou agreed to meet with her But even that could not have been a tenth of the hardships she had endured And even that tenth was enough to warrant a hug so he held her exhausted body tight
That sent new tears down her cheeks
And she reached for the Succubus she had coughed up
I risked my lifeto get this in here
The Succubus flesh was enveloping an old cellphone
She made a call and it was answered in precisely one second The screen said Miss E and the response was in Machina’s voice

Adolescent Adam 8 Chapter 6 - Heat
What is the meaning of this
Kurosaki Keigo shouted angrily into the receiver as the alarms blared incessantly
The control system software is being hacked We cannot stop it
Impossible This network is supposed to use the coil to physically shut out any connection not made through the relay device Has the relay device been hacked
No We do not know how but a bypass was most likely established from within
Ghbut surely we have countless countermeasures against such things
I-I am very sorry
Hurry up and figure out what is causing it you useless fuck
After yelling so loud it hurt his stomach he slammed the receiver down
This sunless study had wires strung up all over so he could monitor everything in case of emergency At the press of a button the surrounding bookcases slid aside revealing monitors that played footage from the cameras installed all over the facility Due to the emergency alert the trained staff was helping the customers escape outside
But this entertainment garden did not have regular evacuation training plus the customers were all very old and decrepit very drunk or very high on drugs And the slaves who had been told to stay put by the staff were panicking at the alarm and trying to flee so the evacuation was not going well Tch Garbage the lot of them
Keigo’s blood vessels bulged out at his temple while he leaned back in his chair as if giving up
The facility was done for at this rate 80% of those sly yet cowardly old men would never want to come here again If the business dried up until the rumors died down – say for 75 days – their debt would rival the national budget of a small country But the money was the least of his worries right now
Elisabeth Elisabeth are you there
I am
Schwarze had been waiting right outside so she stepped in at his call
That woman remained calm at all times and that must have reminded him he was panicking too much He clicked his tongue again and stopped speaking
He reclaimed his usual dignified calm
We are under attack from FeTUS
He opened the bottommost desk drawer It functioned as a refrigerator and it contained some drinks pills wet towels and four glasses
He removed one of the chilled glasses and Schwarze took a bottle of wine from the nearby cellar and opened it with an old knife and screw without being asked
It seems there is already a hole leading in so how long will this facility last
If a rabbit hole has already been established this place will transform into Wonderland the instant the rabbit drops in father
As he clicked his tongue for the umpteenth time his irritation entered the wine and sent red ripples through it while she gently poured it in
He had not mentioned any details but even Schwarze was certain that it was Miss A of FeTUS who was attacking them
Where did that hole come from It wasn’t you was it
Have I ever been out of your surveillance long enough to warrant suspicion
They both looked to the room’s entrance
She had closed the door when she came in but it was now opened by a few centimeters
Schwarze glanced over at Enju who was watching them with a composed expression and stopped pouring the wine And then
Why must it be so noisy
A large ripple ran through the contents of the wine bottle Schwarze held
The panic and tension of the voice could be seen clearly in the wine’s surface
But while Keigo did send a ripple through his wine glass as well all tension had left this face despite all the irritation there before
He was all smiles and made no attempt to hide the joy there
OhhLady Lilith
He prepared a second glass
When Black Cat poured the red liquid in the disturbance from the alcohol caused the vaporized extract to darkly stain the air
After a platinum shine surrounded it a white-skinned woman appeared there
She was as hazy as scattering steam and her blonde hair which was long enough to reach the floor even from midair looked far too fleeting to be real
That person with the faint but undeniable presence picked up the glass with slender fingers
I sense Lucya nearbyno what is this twisted structure Is it a fake A copy of Lucya the Holy Grail is nearby
The Holy Grail You mean the Eve ex Machina created by FeTUS
She is nearbyeliminate her Anything related to Lucya is thoroughly unpleasant
UnderstoodPerform a search Miss E of the Witches is in here somewhere
He picked up the phone and shouted angrily into it
The monitors changed their displays at a dizzying rate and they all showed a confused flood of people but
In the air Stop the cameras there
He stopped it on one of the few images not full of people It simply showed the sky around the facility
A black speck was visible in the blue sky Zooming in revealed it to be a high-speed helicopter Its cargo door was open and two people looked down from there
He saw FeTUS Witches Miss E Machina there
Tch So they really did discover our location
What should we do
They are an eyesore so eliminate them Send out the Bioroids
This was more than a network intrusion People were physically here That greatly changed the alert level but Keigo’s anger was a lot more subdued than before
I must apologize Lady Lilith We seem to have a bit of a rat problem but we will clean that up real quick
He bowed his head toward the woman he called Lilith
She said nothing and brought her glass of wine to her mouth Once her sweet crimson lipstick touched the clear glass she drank the red within
She was a beautiful woman
She was Princess Lilith mother of demons
Her beauty came from more than just her looks The beauty oozing from her every action was enough to charm even Black Cat and Enju who was on guard duty
