The battle was over Mutsuki had not even had time to rush in and stop them In only about five seconds the most powerful guardian angel had been soundly beaten
As I assume you can now see FeTUS has an extreme advantage against angels in combat
The girl saw the defeat on the angel’s face and pulled back her weapon without finishing her off
She summoned the golden magic circle again and returned the broken floor and partition to normal She brought the bent metal and torn fabric back together and they returned to normal as if by magic Mutsuki had seen the powers of an angel like Ange and a demon like Lucia but he was amazed that a fellow human could do something like that Ange’s mind seemed to have gone similarly blank after her overwhelming loss And now I will tell you what I initially wished to discuss here
Machina faced them after returning everything to normal
There is currently some unrest within FeTUS’s command structure so Fujita is being targeted by one of the FeTUS Witches
She is Miss Caka Black Cat She is more powerful than me
Her plain voice was no different from normal Her tone was neither heated nor icy
But Mutsuki could no longer think it sounded like a machine
She is extremely dangerous She will use any means necessary she does not care about any secondary damage she might cause and she enjoys combat She will likely attempt to kill her target’s bodyguardwhich means you Jiyuuni Ange You cannot fight her off so I recommend you flee Flee Like hell I’ll do that I would never-
Ange snapped back but she could say nothing in response to Machina’s silent look She was not stupid enough to deny she had just suffered a definitive loss
If you hear the sound of a bell escape immediately
That was all Machina had to say so she turned her back
Wh-why didyou tell us that
The boy’s trembling voice pursued her as she began to leave the room
She looked back from the doorway and glanced at Ange
We cannot get along FeTUS is incompatible with angels and demons But as a personal opinion
I feel no reason to take a hostile stance against you
She then looked directly at Mutsuki
I am not your enemy
Then she left
Left behind Mutsuki was confident of something from the expressionless expression he had seen on her face
She could do it
She could get along with the others
Thatdamn human
Ange returned her beloved sword to its pendant form and her voice trembled in humiliation
It looked like it was still going to take some time on this end
Adolescent Adam 2 Chapter 3 - Poolside Taboo
Angels were weak against humans humans against demons and demons against angels
That three-way deadlock seemed to create an extremely decisive gap between them
A swing of Prominence sliced a screeching black amoeba in two A bloody smell was scattered around even as the blue flames coming from the sword burnt it down to ashes
It was a type of demon servant known as a Succubus and Mutsuki had seen them before
They were muddy black liquid creatures that could appear from even the smallest gap Mutsuki
himself had no way of fighting them but he did not fear them Demons were weak against angels so they could not even get close while Ange was protecting him
After blowing away the scorched remains of the Succubus with the blue wings growing from her back the girl returned her sword to its pendant form and began walking like nothing had happened
Mutsuki quickly followed It was not even eight in the morning and they were on their way to school
Th-thanks Ange Like always
It’s my job
Not only did she show no hint of joy at her victory but she gave an indifferent response and put on a lopsided frown
Mutsuki sighed as he caught up with her fairly fast pace
She still seemed to be in a bad mood
Looks like the Succubi are attacking on their own but were you okay Mutsuki
Yeah I’m fine
Really You aren’t hurt anywhere Let me see let me see
I’m not hurtAnd quit pulling off my clothes
It was before morning homeroom and Lucia was sitting on his lap again
This happened every morning and it could be a bit of a problem so Mutsuki looked back toward
Ange in hope of some help
She was resting her head on her hand and sullenly staring out the window
Three days had passed since Machina had beaten her so soundly Ever since she had been apathetic to almost everything except her bodyguard job She would not glare at him even when he was getting along with a demon like Lucia The defeat must have really hurt her pride Sorry about that I want to do something about it but demons generally only act out of their own self-interest The Succubi have no intelligence and they only listen to what their master says
Lucia gave an exaggerated shrug while sitting on the edge of the desk
Mutsuki did not know how much he could trust the demon boy but this was how he explained it
The demons other than him had been quiet for the past month because they feared Mutsuki’s angel bodyguard but they were growing more and more restless and less and less able to resist interfering with Mutsuki That had grown especially true in the past three days due to FeTUS’s actions (Which according to Machina was the incident concerning Black Cat) The Succubi had been staying away before but now they were attacking much more often That was not much of a problem since Ange could slaughter them instantly but this confirmed what
Micha had said about dangerous elements existing in both FeTUS and the demons He trembled with his newfound awareness that he was a target
But at the same time
Mutsuki Muutsuukii
Hm Oh sorry
He looked up as Lucia waved a hand in front of his face
Are you tired Maybe it’s because of us demons
N-no I just zoned out for a second there I’m not tired
In truth one of the reasons for his mental weariness really was the sudden increase in demon attacks but he shook his head to deny it
The boy frowned in anguish but his friendly smile returned when Mutsuki smiled It was a lovely smile that made Mutsuki grin all the more
Oh Ibekusa
As always Ibekusa Machina arrived a few minutes before homeroom
Three days had passed but the Black Cat she had warned them about had yet to show up and Machina herself had not contacted them again since
She had gone back to being a normal classmate She was her usual quiet self
She had gone back to being a classmate who would coolly reply when he greeted her
Once the teacher arrived Lucia returned to his own seat
With Serpent’s Eye Holder Fujita Mutsuki at the center FeTUS Witches Ibekusa Machina sat to the left High Level Demon Satowa Lucia sat to the back and Strongest Modern Angel Jiyuuni
Ange sat diagonally back
It had been almost two weeks since that arrangement had been established
All four were getting along just fine as members of the class Ange could be irritable but she was not a bad girl Both Machina and Lucia had blended into the school nearly perfectly
(At the very least all of us are fine)
Afterschool Mutsuki sat alone in the empty classroom lit by the setting sun
No one else was there Sakae and his other friends had club activities and committee meetings
Machina had quickly left school and Lucia had vanished at some point too
Ange was at the pool She was so bad at swimming that she was receiving a special afterschool lesson from the PE teacher and the swim team
Mutsuki could not leave without her so he had to kill some time at school
His current situation naturally came to mind
When he sorted through his thoughts it was a simple matter
He had the power of the Serpent’s Eye and both FeTUS and the demons were after it Both groups were gradually taking more drastic measures
Also Lucia and Machina were opposed to those violent methods
(Even Micha said I could get along with those two)
He had reached the same conclusion over the past two weeks living surrounded by angels a demon and humans
