Jiyuuni you must understand Metatron the flame of indignation at the source of your power is supposed to be anger toward the world’s discord

Ange flinched when they touched on her personal weak point

Only once it was put to words did she realize that she and Metatron were the same as the people supporting Fujita Mutsuki now

They were the same as her when she turned herself into an all-destroying bomb out of her rage toward the human world

They said Mutsuki was the one who had felt that same rage and turned himself into a being who could change it all

Oh shut the hell up Lucia flipped around while falling and circled behind Schwarze and Ren Who cares about the laws of nature I love Mutsuki and that’s why I don’t like what’s going on here

He sent a karate chop toward the back of their heads to end this instantly

His karate chops could pass through flesh so they could directly attack the human nervous system A single attack could knock them out

Except his attack was stopped before they hit

An arm grew from Schwarze’s back and grabbed his hand It was a slender female arm

A moment later the arm grew as thick as a log and punched Lucia away

The power was great enough to cancel out the energy of his fall and he was launched upwards The arm returned to normal thickness while the owner reverted her tall body to normal size while riding on Schwarze’s back And she fixed her maid uniform that had shifted out of place

You too Miss D

Please stop this resistance Miss E FeTUS exists to stabilize the human world and the time for our greatest task has finally arrived

It was Daima Makoto There had been three Witch pursuers from the beginning but she had shrunk down to hide behind Schwarze

The fall ended just them The five of them landed at the bottom level of FeTUS HQ a hallway lined with countless doors Lucia landed a short time later

They glared at each other – three against three

What are we supposed to find here asked Ange

We need time to search but it does not look like we will get it replied Machina

Tch They’re only human I can stop them by myself said Lucia

Being punched must have pissed him off because he stepped out in front

But Makoto did not seem remotely intimidated by a demon despite the supposed compatibility issue She adjusted her white lace glove that continued past her elbow and

That is impossible

A moment later her fist grew large enough to fill the entire hallway

Lucia and the other two stared in shock as that fist was mercilessly swung their way

They were sent flying

Ange and Machina put up their guards and Lucia tried to escape by turning himself to liquid but all three were launched with the exact same force The glove must have been made to repel water so Lucia could not get to her skin Ghdamn her

Miss D was the final guardian of this sanctuary That means her abilities have been customized to be most effective within the HQ

I would prefer not to punch students but you leave me no choice

She raised her left hand and it too grew large enough to fill the hallway

It was large and powerful

She had a power boost from Adam but there was also no way to defend against this simple attack At this rate they would be knocked out by the simple impact rather than anything related to skill

Get inside where we have some defenses

Machina struck the floor

A door down the hallway flew open to reveal a grassy field and blue sky

The three of them rushed inside simultaneously The fist was too large to fit through the door but the doorframe was shattered from the blow

From the field side the door itself disappeared as soon as the frame was destroyed They had temporarily managed to isolate themselves from their pursuers

They’ll be in here soon so we need to search Miss A must have left something for us

But what

They had escaped in here but the grassy field really was just that Miss A’s beloved table sat in the center It contained a washed tea set and a few cookie tins A game of chess sat there unfinished and the stuffed rabbit she always played against was there too A new door appeared in the grassy field Without bothering to check who had accessed it Machina bound it in gold thread to prevent it from opening

Ange and Lucia searched for something but that was difficult when they did not know what it was They checked all around the field but it was only a hologram

Once accessed it disappeared to reveal a hall with playing card patterns on the floor That was the place Ange had burned before

The only thing that remained unchanged was the table Ange and Lucia ran over assuming there was something in the tea set or chess set

At the same time a hole was blasted in the wall rather than the bound door

Misses B C and D rushed in

They were trapped They would have to fight even though they had already been shown how outmatched they were

Ange Machina and Lucia stood side by side and the three Witches faced them

Myrddin

Ren’s lance returned to being a short sword

Ange split her large sword into two blades to fight back

A third party’s voice was suddenly heard in the sanctuary

It was a quiet mumbled voice Ange and Lucia did not even hear it Ange rushed to strike Ren with her dual swords

But Ren did not even raise her weapon

In fact the three Witches – no all four Witches including Machina – had stopped moving altogether

They could not move They could clench their teeth but changing their expression was about all they could do

Their clothes had suddenly become as hard as rock They had received a fair amount of muscular modification but witches were generally powerless without their tools so they were motionless

Yahh

But Ange did not notice and continued rushing in

Stop that you savage

Ren’s short sword flew from her hand like it had a mind of its own and it blocked the slash

Wait eh

The scabbard flew toward Ange as well and with enough speed that she needed both swords to block them She panicked

But Ren was even more surprised

Excalibur Impossible That’s a hidden code

This interception did not seem to be her idea

Ange put some distance between them and the sword returned to its scabbard which then reattached itself to Ren’s hip as if to say its job was complete

The battle ended calmly

You

Lucia was the first to realize who was speaking

The stuffed rabbit on the table had an obvious red light in its eyes

What is all this hubbub about Oh an angel and demon have gotten in Do something about that will you I really would prefer not to be burned like last time

There was no tension at all in its voice but it had also kept the four Witches frozen from the moment it began moving All six people there were dumbfounded

Who are you Was Miss Atelling us to meet you

Miss A had always had this partner by her side while having tea here She had also sometimes played chess with it But none of them had known it had a mind inputted into it

The four Witches were confused and the rabbit blinked its red eyes

Miss A Oh yes It must have realized who they meant There was a hint of sadness in its voice Henriette Yes she is dead She held out for quite a long time but it seems her time finally came

Dead

Machina had not been there so she alone gasped The other three seemed to have already accepted it in some way but hearing it stated so bluntly must still have been hard A shadow fell over their faces The rabbit picked up on the situation based on the differences in their expressions and its red eyes flashed

With a quiet groan Ren Schwarze and Makoto fell to their knees

At the same time Machina could move once more and stumbled in place

What did you do to those three

They had fallen and she had been freed She appreciated that the rabbit had taken her side but she was still worried about those enemies who were like big sisters to her

I injected them with wormwood They have simply fallen asleep with a nice lightheaded feeling They will wake back up in two or three hours
