Miss D if anything is troubling you then tell me instead of just sighing It tickles
Uuh You’ll actually listen
The maid spoke sweetly and clung to her But at 15 times her height she nearly crushed the girl
The kids at school are so mean Just because I’m a liittle more developed than normal they always make fun of my height
That is a sign of affection
But calling me a Demon God is going too far I have a maiden’s heart you know
Whoa whoa
Just having the woman rub up against her caused the girl to shake so much she thought the chair would break
She could not drink her tea like this so she shrugged and reached for the candy on the table
instead She rolled the candy around in her puffed out cheek and spoke to Machina who was watching from the other side of the table
What do you think Miss E Is there a problem with Miss D at school
Negative She has perfectly blended into her teaching job and her targets of observation have shown no signs of noticing she is a member of FeTUS There is no problem
I see I was worried given how she looks but there shouldn’t be a problem as long as we can use her as a trump card
What do mean ‘how she looks’ (Tremble tremble)
Miss A was helplessly shaken in her seat
It did not look like the maid’s complaining would end anytime soon so Miss A dealt with her own hair by giving herself a symmetrical hairdo using scrunchies
Machina ignored them and enjoyed her tea
The tea party in the bright garden continued despite the noise
A trump card you don’t intend to use is meaningless
Until a stray cat interrupted that is
A sharp voice seemed to slice through the air and tear that peaceful world to shreds The blue sky never-ending grassy plain and floral-scented wind all vanished and the tea party was
wrapped in darkness Only the white wood table remained
The three witches all turned toward the voice
Mankind can no longer afford to hide its hand We should abduct that boy immediately
A woman stood there
It was Miss C aka Black Cat Her hands were clasped behind her back and she stood tall like a pillar of steel but she was an impulsive woman with sharp vertical slits for pupils
Don’t look so displeased I can’t enjoy my tea like this
Miss A sighed and snapped her fingers
The room’s image of a peaceful plain returned The maid began preparing another serving of tea but Black Cat ignored the proffered cup
Enough is enough Miss A When do you plan to hold the inquiry
She approached the young lady but the girl did not seem worried and held her mouth as she spoke since she was not yet done sucking on her piece of candy
When the time is right Wait a while longer
To hell with that Maintaining the status quo might be convenient because you can ignore the discontent in our ranks but while you’re sitting around here we have no idea what the Adam boy will do She struck the table in anger The white wood easily broke knocking the cups and tea snacks to the ground
The girl shrugged in annoyance and bit into the candy in her mouth
Have you already forgotten your previous failure
The unhidden sharpness in the words pierced through Black Cat
You must know the truth now It is impossible for us to forcibly restrain the Adam boy named Fujita Mutsuki It is impossible for any woman
The steel woman grimaced as she recalled what had happened
Two weeks before Black Cat had defeated the boy’s bodyguard but she had failed to secure him himself She had been aroused by his power – by Adam’s power to rule all women – and she had been forced to flee The humiliation must have returned to her mind because she clenched her teeth
And of course we can’t just use a man If the other Serpent’s Eye were to show up the boy would fall into that woman’s hands and we would lose all hope for the future
Miss A calmly swept aside Black Cat’s opinion and signaled to the maid
When the maid touched the scattered pieces of the table and ceramic cups they regenerated so perfectly that no seams could be seen She prepared new tea in the same cups
The young lady looked no older than six but she was actually a witch who had lived for over six hundred years She plainly showed off the dignity of her age as she faced Black Cat The woman’s shoulders trembled in anger but she was forced into silence Somewhat aged wrinkles entered the girl’s youthful face
I understand your impatience but now is the time to wait With heaven earth and hell gathered the world could be swallowed up by discord at any moment And if an all-out war breaks out we will hold the weakest position How long must we wait
That is up to the boy
The girl spoke quietly and calmly leaving the woman with nothing to say Machina and the maid were watching all the while so an almost painful silence ruled the garden for a while
What if we wait but the boy makes the wrong decision Black Cat suppressed her intense emotions and spoke in a quiet voice If he makes a different choice conflict will come to this world
Then that will be the new chapter of human history
I can’t do it All of human civilization hangs in the balance so I can’t leave it all up to a single boy I refuse to just wait
She held the ferocity of a starving lion and yet maintained an intelligent look in her eyes
She was a born warrior
She was willing to spill blood if it was to protect someone
She would not hesitate to fight if it was for something important
I trust in our powerthe power of knowledge Man became man by eating the Fruit of
Knowledge and has built up our history until this very day
She turned her back
When awaiting an inquiry you must remain on standby until a decision is made I cannot permit you to do anything concerning that boy
Miss A’s sophisticated voice did not reach that back which carried a dignified will
I know that I will obey my orders and I will not make an attack
She quietly added I won’t anyway just before leaving
Silence filled the garden The maid’s expression had stiffened and wrinkles covered the girl’s brow Machina was as expressionless as always and she had not even set down the tea she had been drinking What a troublesome girl I doubt she will go on a rampage while being disciplined though
Miss A sounded tired and she faced the girl across the table from her Machina immediately set down her cup and stood up
This is in your hands Don’t neglect your observation duties
Mutsuki as well as the angel and demon that hung around him currently attended Private Megutono Academy which was built on a hill a short way out of town
Several buildings had been built on the large campus and it was constantly investing in the latest technology A security system was active at night so it was entirely deserted The school did not even hire night guards anymore Anyone who could switch off the security system would have the entire place to themselves
A single figure wearing the school’s uniform stepped out of the clock tower looking down on the town from the center of the campus
It was Machina The school really was nothing more than a private school but a FeTUS branch had been newly constructed below the hill for easy entrance when Fujita Mutsuki had enrolled To camouflage herself as a normal student she went to the trouble of leaving from a different entrance and returning through the main gate in the mornings but with no one else around she walked straight from the clock tower without hiding Her footsteps rang throughout the dark school as she walked to her usual building her usual classroom and her usual desk
No to the desk right next to it
She peeked inside the desk Fujita Mutsuki was a diligent student so he did not leave many of his school supplies at school She only found a pencil case and an English dictionary that was too bulky to carry around easily This was not what she was looking for so Machina stood up
