And…”Rapha gave his usual inscrutable smile, narrowed his eyes, and stared at Micha“When an adult does soht?”“…”Micha responded with a thin smile of her ownTwo sets of dah the unsullied pure white of the heavenly territorySuddenly, Rapha frowned“By the way, does that Mutsuki boy really not like me?”“You hadn’t noticed?”“Exposure to Metatron at such close range has proved useful”Miss A, aka Alice, reirl lay on a bed“The angel’s flaenetic alterations None of the fluid it pumped into you remains”“I see”A total of eighty golden pins were lined up along Machina’s naked body They were stabbed quite deep, but no blood came out and no hole remained when they were removedThey were in the never-before-used Second Lab since the First Lab had been destroyed, but it was equipped well enough for the experiment they wished to runThe small room contained a bed, a chair, and a woman’s lower stomach soaked in formaldehydeThat was enough for FeTUS’s most important research“A woelove would probably want this”Red flesh – a huan – was dropped into the bottle of for a neer stomach After it was contained in the center of the empty female body, the bottle was carefully closedMachina got up Her stoolden thread just below her navel and the surrounding area had been wiped clean of blood with the rag next to her After re the thread, no mark remainedMiss Alice frowned as the girl calery“Wasn’t it painful to be attacked by a dehly?”“It is not a proble demons, so we should say I was fortunate”“Not what I meant” Alice spoke a little loudly and Machina looked up “It was painful, wasn’t it?”“…”Machina was always e sadly, she looked down a little“…It is not a problem”Even so, she did not complain“I a is painful”“I see”“Ahh, ahh”The school had lost its clock tower The library building that had faced the tower had an arched roof thanks to its planetarium“They’re getting ahead of me”Lucia crouched at the peak of the arch despite the wind and rain He tugged at his shi+rt to peek at his own chest as he sighed quietly“Do I have to be a girl?”He peeked at his flat boy’s chestAnd he sighed again“…Oh”He closed his eyes and focused his mindAs his skin gren, a change came over his revealed chest The fat which was spread out evenly across his body gathered in his chest so it bulged outIt becairl’s chest“Uuh…”But it only lasted a few seconds His skin grehite again before long“Sigh… It doesn’t last long without Mutsuki-kun’s power”His proportions also returned to those of a boy“That old hag is always so cruel”The next day, the typhoon had passed and the skies were clear and sunny for the closing ceremonyThe cerean at half past nine, so they had to be at school at half past eight just like normal“Sigh…”

At 8:26, Ange arrived in the classroom a little later than usual and collapsed into her own seat“Morning, Mutsuki, Jiyuuni”“Good e-chan …What’s the matter?”Sakae and Saya iirl’s exhaustion odd since they had just had a day offMutsuki only smiled bitterly to avoid the subject He could not exactly say the two of the around” for the entire day off except for the little sleep they had gotten“You smell like Mutsuki-kun”Lucia caught on alh“What the hell? It took months before he would do ht? Take this And this”Noticing her weakness, he dug his elbow into her“Shut up! I’ll burn you to death!”“Oh, how scary! Mutsuki-ku~n, this girl’s scary~”“Ah ha ha She seems to be pretty sore today, so leave her alone”

Mutsuki let the demon embrace him in mock fearBoth ars, her back roin muscles, and the front and back holes Her e was in an especially bad mood today“I’et it Oh, is this what they call ‘that tifh!”Sakae ed by a backhand blow from Saya“Are you okay, Ange-chan? If your stomach hurts, I know a medicine that works pretty well”“Thanks, but leave me alone”“The second day? It must be pretty bad”But Saya’s unnecessary coe furtherShe was truly in a bad mood now, so she turned to look out theConcerned Saya and teasing Lucia both had to give up“Ange-chan sure is unlucky if she’s feeling bad on theday of the year”Mutsuki suddenly realized that Saya, Sakae, and the rest of the class were cheerful“Yeah It is the closing ceremony, after all”

“Yes, yes♪ And you knohat that ht?”“Summer breeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeak!”“Yes, yes, yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!”Sakae shouted and Saya hopped up and downNo one in the classroom seemed bothered by all the noiseSu day, so they all felt in the mood to shout“Ohhhh! Let’s party until we drop, Mutsuki! We need to get together to plan it out, but let’s go to thein the mountains! Or the beach! Either one’s fine! I don’t care where, but let’s go enjoy our summerrrrrr!”“Y-yeah O”Shouting seemed to have filled Sakae with evenMutsuki’s back“Ca? That sounds like fun Count me in♪”Saya began slapping Sakae’s back“What? You’re coe”“Why?”“Because you’re several sizes larger than the average- o, ow!! Don’t pinch me like that!”Their exchange was par for the course and Lucia looked up while happily rubbing his face against Mutsuki’s chest“Ca too♪ Eh heh heh I get to sleep with Mutsuki-kun❤”“Y-yeah”Mutsuki had a feeling he meant more than just “sleep” And then…“…”“Oh, good , Ibekusa-san”“…Good ”At half past eight, Machina arrived at the exact same time as alwaysWhat would happen between her and Ange after the latter had nearly destroyed FeTUS headquarters just two days before? Mutsuki was a little nervousBut neither of the Machina walked silently past like always and took her seat in front of AngeWhen she noticed Mutsuki’s gaze, she glanced out theat the partially-restored clock tower The students had been told the typhoon had destroyed just the top portion and it would soon be repaired She glanced at her headquarters where repairs were beginningShe had no intention of changing their position as “passive enemies”Or rather, she did not want to make this worse if she did not have toAnd…“Hey, hey, Maki-nyan”

“?”Saya embraced Machina from behind“You coether”Ever the optiirl who seemed out of place in the classMachina seeured it out when she saw Mutsuki’s bitter smile“Agreed”“Okay I’ll get you the details once we’ve worked them out”“Positive”“That’s onefun♪”“By the hat is ‘Maki-nyan’?”The girl seeain, but Saya moved to the seat behind her“Ange-chan, you’re coht?”“What?”Saya did not even hesitate to invite the blatantly upset girlAnge had been listening and she hesitated a little, but…“Of course I’ so ridiculous I’ friends”She glanced at Machina and glared at Lucia as she spoke“Ehh? C’!”“I don’t care”“We’ll bring a bunch of fried chicken?”“Do you think I’?”Ange looked away againSaya puffed out her cheeks and sought help, so Mutsuki gave her a bitter smile that said he would persuade herEither way, she was his bodyguard, so she would be going if he wasAndup despite everything that had happened That was just like her, but he still sighed“Time for homeroom Get to your seats”Their homeroom teacher, Katsue-sensei, walked in, so Sakae and Saya returned to their seats and Lucia took his in the backKatsue-sensei, aka Schwarze, looked across theeThat girl had destroyed their headquarters and their teacher was not as forgiving as MachinaBut she made sure to do her job as teacher“Today is the closing cere out your summer homework first Take one and pass the rest back”She calot to workShe started passing out enough printouts to fill the class with depressed looks But…“Oh, right First, here’s what you asked for, Fujita”“What? Oh, yeah Thanks”She waved an object toward Mutsuki“What is it, what is it?”He took it and Lucia peered in from the seat behind him Mutsuki held it out so the demon boy could see“It’s a student handbook Mine was ruined in the rain the day before yesterday, so I ordered a new one yesterday”On the way back froht, his handbook had been soaked by the rain and its contents had grown illegibleWhile everyone passed back the homework, Mutsuki quickly wrote his name, class, and attendance number in the new handbookThat would nor to doHe pulled a card folder froIn it was his collection of photo booth pictures of himself with his friends He liked to place those photo stickers of his good friends on the back of the handbookHe started sticking theed from nursery school to quite recentlyThe very top was reserved for his favorite ones That had only been one with Sakae until recently, but now he had another one there too“…Huh?”He looked to that new stickerHis fingers stopped on that photo with AngeThey had only taken the photo two months before and he had only used one of the stickers for his previous handbook, but two of the stickers wereHe tilted his head, wondering if he had dropped one somewhereHe had stored the card folder in an unlocked drawer at home, so someone could have easily walked into his room and taken it But…He looked to the girl sitting diagonally behind him“…”Ange had been glancing over at hiain, but she blushed when their eyes metShe made the usual lopsided frown and looked out theonce more
