They were all apple seeds Glowing apple seeds
Most had sunk to the bottom but a few were floating around in the water like fireflies
The young man reached out his hands
Now there will be no conflict Everyone can live in peace equality and happiness
He scooped up some of the pool water that contained one of the moving seeds
A world without discord A world of only relief
It had been moving around in a worried sort of way but once he touched it it came to a stop as if in relief He returned it to the water where it sank to the bottom
Micha turned aft
Firefly light showed the path the ship had taken away from the port
The seeds would gather in the pool but once they calmed down they would be swept out to sea The process was complete for about 80% of the humans on earth but every Fruit of Knowledge was being collected – from heaven and hell as well The pool would fill up in no time so the young man would calm down the overexcited ones and return the calmed ones to the ocean Once the firefly lights sank into the ocean they would float around in a pleasant sort of way and vanish into the depths of the night
Once this is complete I will add all of you here as well
He smiled
As you wish
The angels and humans agreed to the proposal with looks of pure joy
They were not blindly obeying The FeTUS Witches and the angels knew very well what the young man was saying
The seeds gathered in the pool could be compared to brains in vats
But this was an act of benevolence
After being freed from the bonds of their physical bodies the seeds were returned to the ocean while dreaming of eternal happiness These were dreams of loving and being loved
It was hard to define what exactly this young man was
But he had just one reason to exist to be loved by all
To be loved by him was the greatest happiness a living being could experience
The witches and the angels were overwhelmed by happiness just by being with him here so they understood the happiness those seeds were permeated with
In fact the ones working here were the unhappy ones For example Schwarze and Ren never got along so they ended up thinking about which one he loved more which only led to jealousy and worry It also pained them to see Micha receiving special treatment from him They could forget those feelings once they were only a seed They could cast off their emotions and thoughts and exist only to love him
There would be no discord there
You too Micha
Hmm Oh yes I suppose so
Micha emptied her beer glass and gave a halfhearted response to the smiling young man
But not yet As a seed I won’t have a mouth to drink beer
The maid quickly filled her glass once more
When the young man smiled bitterly and chided her for drinking too much she pressed her tipsy cheek against his and leaned against him
It’s been so long It feels like forever since I started working with Lilith to bring about this day And it was all so much harder after I met Mutsuki and started stimulating the Adam within him Since he had that convenient Serpent’s Eye I assumed he would abuse it the second I taught him the joys of sex I never imagined he would refuse to use it for himself even after I took his virginity I would be lying if I said I didn’t want to abuse it but I felt like I didn’t have to since I had you with me
Heh heh Well there was my mistake right there
She was still smiling but a hint of sadness appeared deep in her eyes
She had been working towards this day ever since they had first met and that had fundamentally twisted the boy’s purity She did feel some shame about that
But it was gone soon enough
You can take a vacation now Feel free to enjoy yourself
She held out her glass to the young man
With a defeated smile he accepted it and drank about half of it
So this is beer To think wheat tastes like this if you brew it
It doesn’t have the grape flavor of wine but it’s pretty nice isn’t it
It’s a little bitter
You child
They sat with their shoulders together
Schwarze and Ren looked a little pained at not being a part of it
His expression suddenly changed
Makoto tilted her head while ready to pour some fresh beer or wine
He wrinkled his brow in thought
Then a new golden seed flew in
It plopped down into the pool and was calm from the beginning so it would sink right down to the bottom and vanish into the ocean soon enough
But after so many hundreds of thousands of seeds this was the only one to make him look puzzled
Sakae he muttered Friends hm
He must have known what look was on his face He set down his glass and asked a question
Where did Ange Lucia and Ibekusa go again
Um towards Megutono Academy
I see Yes I thought they would be here in short order but it seems I was wrong
Even at sea Makoto accurately pointed in the direction the jet carrying those three had flown She pointed toward the city containing Megutono Academy and FeTUS Headquarters
When the young man faced that way the sea swelled up and the ship rapidly changed course It turned in the direction Makoto was looking
Let us go get themYes they are the Mutsuki boy’s precious friends
Did something happen Avalon
Micha must have assumed there were no problems remaining She had imbibed too much alcohol and was quite red in the face as she tilted her head
Humans have this pesky habit of causing discord And the Mutsuki boy is human He is no exception The young man smiled bitterly It seems the Fujita Mutsuki boy is my final obstacle
Adolescent Adam 9 Chapter 3 - What Miss A Left Behind
Ange
Machina had detected someone making a phone call
No one was going to answer that call but they managed to trace who had made the call quickly enough
It came from the Fujita home – Mutsuki’s family home
Once they arrived Mutsuki’s younger sister Fujita Chiaki rushed out She had been hesitantly watching things outside the house and tears filled her eyes when she saw someone she knew
Ange just about asked you’re still alive instead but caught herself
Um something isn’t right The TV is weird and I don’t hear anyone at all talking outside
The girl was panicking but she had not fully grasped the situation yet She may have been starting to realize that people had vanished from the city Ange patted her on the back to help calm her
Once she checked inside she found the Fujita family was confused but all five of them were there father mother older sister younger sister and littlest sister
They had apparently eaten dinner together and started watching TV as a family when the TV suddenly started acting oddly A few shows did not start when they were scheduled to begin The channels showing recorded shows continued as normal but the live news programs all showed empty studios The older sister had checked some websites that were updated in real time but they had suddenly stopped updating as well They had initially assumed there was some kind of trouble but things only grew more and more disconcerting and no one answered when they calling the TV stations The internet was functioning on the software side of things but no one was accessing any of the sites It had felt a lot like their family had been cut off from the world so they were scared and trying to find a way to escape
Explaining the situation to the Fujita family would only scare them so Lucia snapped his fingers to put the five of them in a deep sleep The trio carried them to their respective rooms and placed them in their beds They could assume this whole situation was only a dream And after placing a stuffed animal in the arms of Mutsumi the third sister
What does this mean asked Ange
There is something in common between all of the people unaffected by this situation said Machina
Kind of makes me happy said Lucia
The three of them walked outside
With the Fujita family asleep Machina could not detect anyone else in the world connecting to the communications network They spotted an airplane that had landed safely so apparently the pilots were avoiding an accident and then falling under its effects But there were exceptions who were not affected by it Fujita Mutsuki’s family Ange Machina and Lucia
