Now was her only chance She raised her large sword again
Whoever that young man was her angel flames should work on Lilith who had gone into creating him She cloaked herself in blue flames as she attacked with her giant sword
Micha did not notice her Lilith’s strongest bodyguard was not doing her job
Ange could kill Lilith
Or so Ange thought until she felt a powerful blow to her gut
Khahwhat
She had been stopped by a hand reaching in from an unexpected place She looked back to see this was apparently Miss D’s fist It hurt She realized she had never fought that woman so this attack power came as a surprise But more than that
What are you doing she shouted Stop interfering I need to kill Lilith
Kill
What are you talking about Jiyuuni
She received only cold responses
There were three icy voices in all
Why are you trying to kill him
In addition to Miss D Black Cat and Lavriel gave her cold looks of utter bewilderment
Ange isn’t that rude
It was not just them Rapha also gave her a critical look as if he could not believe she would try to cut down the young man The Dante angels also looked like it was her who was acting weird
Wh-what Nii What is with all of you
She looked around in search of help
Something was not right
Something was changing
No everything was changing
It was like the common understanding of the world had changed with his birth
His birth had brought a pulse back to the earth and breathed life into the grass
No one was opposing him Except for her
The world was created from discord said the young man
His was a disturbingly pleasant voice As soon as she heard it Ange felt herself calming down despite the abnormal situation That realization made her tremble
He turned toward Schwarze and Ren who were listening in obvious adoration
I can change that
His voice resembled Mutsuki’s
If there is one – just one – form of harmony that can exist that perfect being must change the world That is the only way to rid the world of discord
Schwarze and Ren wept
Sensei do not cry Your father does not matter I will love you in his place Senpai I will do whatever it takes to repay you for the feelings that led you to save me
The two of them naturally fell to their knees
Miss D the Dante angels Rapha and even Micha kneeled
Even angels had a hard time saying how much of the religions out there were correct but kneeling before someone you considered a god seemed to be an instinctual part of all life
As soon as he was born the world had changed in order to worship him as perfect
With a few exceptions
Wake up Mutsuki
Lucia’s angry voice brought Ange back to her senses
The demon tried to grab at the young man but just like with Ange he was knocked back by the young man’s followers Black Cat and Lavriel in this case
And as a finishing blow a vanilla-colored arrow launched by one of the Dante angels was aimed between his eyes
The golden thread net released by Machina caught the arrow at the last second to save Lucia
Ange Lucia and Machina were the only ones who could resist that They rejected the rules of this changed world and followed the rules of the world before that was created
They followed the rules that would protect Fujita Mutsuki
What’s wrong you three
But even that was a tiny exception
When the young man called to them Ange Lucia and Machina all felt their hearts waver At the very least they lost their fighting spirits
He was calling to them
So they had to respond
Their instincts rather than their minds told them so
Their understanding of the world had already been rewritten Opposing that young man seemed almost unthinkable to them
If he called to them they wanted to respond They did not want to do anything that would oppose him
Come on over here Ange Lucia and Ibekusa
They hated how much their hearts leapt with joy when he called their names
Their bodies rejoiced at his recognition of them
They felt like they now understood the true nature of the Serpent’s Eye That power brought sexual arousal just by looking him in the eye but it must have only been a fragment of the perfection oozing from this young man All life was made to love him The world had been engraved with the knowledge that he was to be loved and that they should kneel before him like he was god
The arousal produced by the Serpent’s Eye was only a small fraction of that nature leaking out
Ange Lucia and Machina were not at the stage of simple arousal as they came in contact with him now
When he merely called their names they could no longer think of him as an enemy
They found themselves loving him
Ghrun awayyou three
The only other one who had escaped the world’s changed understanding was 600 years old The emotion of human love may have shriveled up within her long ago
Y Device
Alice had been standing in a daze as her thoughts slowed to a crawl but Lucia’s voice had snapped her out of it
She somehow managed to use the function installed in her hat
A great many cords extended from her beloved sunhat and stabbed into her temples and the sides and back of her head
She had the machine invade her brain to slam the brakes on her brain’s attempted obedience toward that young man
She moved in front of those three and wrapped some golden threads together into something like a whip Wherever the whip moved a mist-like distortion filled the air It brought those areas down to absolute zero She obviously intended him harm so Micha Schwarze and Ren moved to protect him
It was no surprise from Micha but Schwarze and Ren also showed open hostility to Miss A who they had adored like a mother They hated her as the person trying to harm the man they loved
The Y Device robbed Alice of all her emotions so she showed no mercy as she used that deadly whip on those three two of whom were like daughters to her
The three of them easily dodged it Just like Micha the other two appeared to have their abilities enhanced in order to protect the perfect one
However the whip had not been aimed at the young man
After it missed and was deflected back it wrapped around Ange Machina and Lucia’s necks The absolute zero effect had already been removed but it was still cold enough for them to grimace
Then the whip flung them into the air
A passenger plane with roaring jet engines was flying by overhead
The whip attached to it The three were instantly carried to the jet plane and thus carried away from the facility
Miss A What are you doing
Go The Fujita boy has chosen you so only you can return the world to normal
Chosen us
Return to the sanctuary I left everything I have there
There was no time for a discussion because Miss A’s voice could not reach them after that
After watching those three disappear into the distance she turned back toward the young man
Schwarze and the others watched the jet plane with suspicion but they did not pursue it because the young man did not order them to They longed to be by his side and did not prioritize the elimination of those enemies And more than that
So Ange Lucia and Ibekusa have left
The young man sounded sad
He himself did not want to force them to return
He had already become something else but the root of this thoughts was still that boy named Fujita Mutsuki
He did not like forcibly controlling what other people did
If he wanted it Schwarze or Micha could have easily caught up to that jet plane fleeing at a subsonic speed He wanted to change the world but he did not want to do it by force That was their last hope for breaking free of this situation Although it was not much of an opening because a perfect being like him did not need to do anything by force
I am counting on you Machinaas well as Jiyuuni Ange and Satowa Lucia
Alice had kept the hope alive
There was nothing more for her to do so she breathed a deep sigh
