Adolescent Adam: Chapter 8 - The Perfect Man
“Pervert!”
Mutsuki could hardly argue with her A el with top class co and his back slammed into the bedroom wall
“You…pervert! I let uard down for a second and you cover my face in…in… ~~You perv!”
“I never actually told you to suck it”
“—————”
“Sorry”
If he argued back, his life e’s eyes, he sat down and bowed over and over
After his sixth ejaculation, she had snapped and their trancelike state had left the off what covered their faces and Machina was fixing her clothing
“Oh, honestly! Why do I have to protect you of all people?”
An odd scent lingered in her er
“C’ too”
After scrubbing her face with a wet tissue until it grew red, she turned to the other victim
But Machina showed no concern as she gently wiped off the stickiness and calmly buttoned up her uniform and adjusted the ribbon
When Ange sa unconcerned the girl was, she irl wrapped up in this in this because she stopped arguing
“W-well, sorry this got so weird You can leave now Thanks for bringing us the printout”
She gave a slapdash show of appreciation and turned her back
Machina nodded and looked to Mutsuki for just a few seconds
She immediately looked away once he raised his head and started to leave the room
“Ah, I-Ibekusa-san, wait”
Thinking letting her leave noould make him an awful person, he frantically called after her
But when she looked back his way, he was unsure whether he should continue speaking or not
“U outside, so let me call a taxi”
“I have…an umbrella”
“An u this hard Um, where do you live?”
He asked a perfectly harmless question
However, that was enough for Ange to drop the tissue in her hand
First, her eyes widened in surprise, but then they sharpened
She grabbed Mutsuki by the back of the neck, pulled him over, and threw him onto the bed She then stood in front of the confused boy
“You’re Ibekusa Machina, right?”
“Yes”
“How did you know about this place?”
She grabbed the pendant on the desk
“The school was only given a fake address, so how did you get here?”
“…”
Ange’s question was low and sharp Machina’s expression did not change, but her skin visibly tensed for just a moment
That was enough to confire’s suspicions
“It was that pin, wasn’t it?”
Mutsuki’s ave her conclusion and pulled the boy from the room
“~~~!?”
“Lithography: excellent”
The living rooed from the one he had lived in for three weeks
The TV, audio systeht to fill out the room had vanished
The table, sofa, and other furniture had been crushed into rubble And in that e stood atop the bisected sofa
“Resuel…positive”
It almost looked like the previous spider, but this mechanical soldier’s shell was even more offense-oriented Its joints creaked as it faced them
The belly was iant joint-legged ani needle attached to its tail This steel scorpion had devoured all of therooiant tail
Finally, Mutsuki understood That one re thefroe truck
“Beginning capture!”
“Gh!”
The scorpion Springloaded leaped at thee sword as a shi+eld She fought the ht with just one slender arm
“Run away, Mutsuki! I’ll hold this thing back, so you escape froirl!”
He looked at Machina who had left the bedroom
“Escape? From Ibekusa-san? Why?”
“She’s with FeTUS! She found this apart the beacon in that pin!”
“~~~!”
Mutsuki faced her in stunned disbelief
Machina was as expressionless as ever
She was not at all surprised at the half-destroyed living roo scorpion machine
With a sound that shook the entire apart room’sexploded
Ange was thrown outside into the rain
“Why you…! Corona!!”
A thin film of blue flah to see their droplet shape, but they were vaporized as soon as they fell around her
She used that air pressure as footing and returned to the balcony, but…
“Moveel tools: prepared Capture: possible”
“Kwah!”
With eight legs identical to the spider’s, the Springloaded clung to the outside wall and charged forward before she could balance herself The giant scorpion-like tail swung like a whip
Ange soed to catch the attack on her sword, but even with her great power, she lacked body weight She was bloay
“Kh…”
“Equal or superior power confirmed Capture: possible Capture: possible!”
“Shut up!”
The girl clung to the wall and swung her sword, but the ave it h to easily knock the girl away
Unlike the spider Springloaded, this type kept pushi+ng and pushi+ng with its power
“Ahh! God, you’re annoying!”
“Ange, are you okay!?”
Mutsuki ran out onto the balcony and shouted her way
Ange and theas they clashed Even to an a pushed back
“If you’re nothing but brute force, I just have to fight smarter not harder! Prominence – Loop!”
She split her giant sword in two and switched to her tord style
Blue fla the back of the swords At the sarew s seemed to manifest as physical objects The raindrops around her were vaporized, creating an explosive blast of heat that reached Mutsuki on the balcony
“Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!”
The weight did not hold her back as she ran forward She raced along the outer wall and charged toward the h that Mutsuki could barely see her beyond the curtain of steam
Once she was in range, she rotated with her arms spread wide
The girl beca in the vicinity She even deflected the extended tail once she touched it and the Springloaded noticeably faltered
There was no avoiding her attack at this range, but…
“Target within capture range Firing net…positive”
“!?”
The raised tail fired the same white threads – or irl A shi+eld-like web formed between the machine and the sword
The full-speed slice easily chopped through the impromptu shi+eld, but…
The metal wires split their tips into fine brush-like hairs They were as sticky as a real spider web and they wrapped around the sharp blade
Splitting her sword into two cae froh the thread, so she could not cut the metal machine
The spiral of power Lucia had el could burn a demon with her flaainst the solid Springloaded that was hard as a rock
“Angel capture simulation: complete”
“!? Oh, n-…”
“Checkmate”
The needle at the end of the tail targeted Ange She deflected it with her other sword, but…
“~~~~ Kh!”
She paid dearly for leaving herself defenseless within the enee The scorpion had extended its pedipalps at the same time as its needle, so it captured her arms and torso between them
“Khah… Let oooo!”
The girl struggled, but her arh to break free of their alloy bonds and her swords were useless without use of her arh its shell with the threads and wires tangled around one of them
“Ange… Wah!”
A ly nimble mechanical scorpion as it hopped back to the balcony with the girl in tow
It landed right in front of Mutsuki
