Vol 6 Chapter 1 (1/1)
Adolescent Ada of a New SeasonWhere…am I?Mutsuki all of a sudden found hi thereHe was in the reen-filled forest he had never seen before The reen that he narrowed his eyes A fresh breeze stroked his cheeksThe thick underbrush and flowers grew tall and caught the gentle sunlight Was it springtime? The sun was comfortably warm and made him feel a little sweatyNearby was a well-leveled field likely roheat It must have been harvested a season before because straas piled up nearbyHis nose detected the warm and sweet scent of crushed wheat and the sharp smell of damp earth(Where…in the world am I?)The idyllic world actually made him nervousWhere was he? Why was he here?Fujita Mutsuki was confused about everything, but…“What are you zoning out for?”“Wah”An impolite tackle hit him from behindHe looked back and saw the tackler joking around by hiding behind hi to his backBut when he saw the long hair that flipped up from the action, the boy naturally smiledWhen he saw shi+ny blonde more beautiful than autumn wheat“Stop it, Lucya”“Hee hee hee”The girl circled around in front of the boyThe young girl had brown skin She appeared to be the sarow and she still looked soynousShe laughed and wrapped her ared, and hopped onto the nearby pile of straw(Who are you?)
That question did not reach the level of wordsLucya That hat this girl had been called Mutsuki had called her that She rolled over on the straw bed, pulled back her jaw, and gave him an upturned lookHer fairly angled eyes had a somewhat provocative look to themIt was the bewitching and defenseless look of a kitten wanting to playThe boy smiled bitterly and accepted the invitation to climb onto the bedThere was no tension in either of theether They did not view each other as a boy and a girlBut once they were there, they were not childish enough to ignore the fact that they were a boy and a girl in a bed togetherA suggestive atmosphere surrounded them and they blushed“…Lucya”“Avalon…nn”They brought their lips together in unisonAnd as the scent of wheat enveloped theether…“…?”He woke up“Yawn…”It was a pleasant awakening Instead of being sudde

So you were out?”“Yes, I was driving around all night Here’s a souvenir from Lake Biwa”She placed a package on the tableShe had said it was a souvenir froave him an Ise Grand Shrine Eel Pie That was a Mie Prefecture product She had apparently been to both shi+ga and Mie in the saht“I know you like to drive around, but you’ll destroy your new hly”What was done was done, so Mutsuki could only shrugMicha had bought a new motorcycle 10 days before and she had been like this ever sinceShe said other vehicles got in her way, so she would go out late at night and drive all around japan He was starting to worry when she actually slept Then again, she tended to sleep through the day with a beer in hand, so maybe it was fine“How rude I don’t ride it roughly And it was Ange that destroyed the last one, not me”“Yes, but-…wah!”He tried to say she was definitely “riding it roughly” when she had driven more than 3000 km in only 10 days, but he quickly looked the other wayShe had reached for the zipper of the riding suit she enjoyed wearing It was all one piece, so fully unzipping itShe did not hesitate to show off her sweaty, brown, and sexy body This was too“I’m thirsty”Micha ignored the young boy’s behavior and walked to the fridge She bent over to reach for the drink section at the very botto, so she pointed her nearly bare ass right at Mutsuki He had no choice but to look away(No, this is a trap)But he immediately looked back up“You can’t have a beer this early in the ”
“Tch”Micha had tried to use her body as a weapon to distract the kitchen ue and returned the can of beer She obediently took the mineral water next to it insteadShe h her trick, so…“You sure are up early today You’re usually still asleep”“Yes …Ahh”Still half-naked, she walked up behind him and rested her chin on his shoulderShe was only teasing hi fro woman’s counterattack, so he moved to escape the two mounds on his backHe reached for the calendar hanging on the side of the kitchen“We’re back to our normal schedule today”He forcefully tore off the August pageIt was September 1 Suman today“Right”The entire year was suuard job), so she otten She smiled bitterly“Ahh, ahh And I thought I could have so, but you have school, do you?”“Wha-?”“Heh heh Just kidding”For no real reason, she teased the boy to the end, kissed his cheek, and retreated to the bathroomLeft in the kitchen, the boy was half-excited and half-exasperated by the soft sensation and sweet aro breakfastHe prepared rice, plant Then he placed enough for 3 on the table“Ah”He then wondered if he should really have h for 3“Okay, all done I’ry”After changing into her nor roorab a beer if he let her, so he served her some tea he had heated earlier“Is Ange here?”“Hht be back”The two of them looked to their other roommate’s roomA plate reading Ange’s Roo from the door They knockedThere was no response“We’re coe”After a loud warning, Mutsuki waited a rabbed the knobInside they found…Ange’s normal roorown, but it was still quite tidy This was the angel bodyguard’s idea of interior decorationBut the room was emptyIts oas not there The only thing lying in the bed was her beloved Lazy Bear body pillow“She’s gone again?”Mutsuki frownedIt had been like this a lot lately It had started after thetrip they all went onIt soht She would be away froht she tended not to be back by ht before and she was apparently still not backMutsuki had tried asking her where she was going, but she would only ever say “none of your business”Unlike Micha, she was not the type to head out at night for fun…or so he thought“I’m worried,” said Micha in a serious tone for onceThat only increased Mutsuki’s anxiety He doubted that strongest angel could be in any danger, but still“…”Mutsuki returned to the dining table in a dark ether, but…“Mutsuki-kun, you have some sleep in your eye”“Oh…okay”Micha pointed at his right eye from the other side of the tableThis would be thanks to his sloppy job of washi+ng his face in the kitchen He walked to the changing roo(Where is Ange…and what is she doing?)This was the 1st day of the new term, but his mood was heavyHe reached for the changing room door(I wish she would tell me whatever it was)Click“…Huh?”“Eh?”His eyeseyesAnge had apparently just finished taking a shower She was gathering her glossy red hair in one hand while drying off her bodyHer completely nude body, that isMutsuki blinked his eyes which had no sleep in themMicha had to have known so roo woround, and…“Ah ha ha Welcoe”A kick fro“Again! It wasn’t on purpose!”“Shut up, shut up! Stay away fro!”The two students left the apart on the very first day of the new termAnge had spent a good 15 er before they could eat breakfast, so they were running a little lateHe never did get to ask her where she had gone the night before, but he decided not to worry about it since she was behaving the same as alwaysThe two of theed down the sidewalkThey only had the opening cerehtly with only a few pieces of homework in them“It’s already autumn”“I don’t know much about the human world’s seasons, so how is autumn any different from summer?”“I’ll admit it’s still pretty hot”There really was no visible changeFor example, there was not a cloud in the blue sky and the early cicadas were chirping even though it was only around 8But the change froust to September still meant a lot Even if it was mostly in his headJust thinking that a new season was beginningHe felt like soin, but…“Yeah, but I really wish our hero, Summer Break, hadn’t ended”“Oh, good , Sakae”They just so happened to be walking in at the same time, so his childhood friend Tomono Sakae approached from the side“A new ter our school life, so I don’t hate school, but I still hate losing the protection of our hero, Summer Break”“I knohat you mean”Mutsuki s the sah as every other student in the country“Quit co The second term means all sorts of youthful events like the cultural festival and the athletic festival”Someone else arrived from the opposite side“Good , Kurikara-san”“Morning, Mutsuki-kun, Ange-chan, Tomo-chi♪”“Good , Saya”“Mornin’ And what’s this Tomo-chi nonsense?”It was their classmate and friend Kurikara Saya She had apparently overslept, so she fussed with her messy twintails as she joined themThis was 4 of the 6 who had gone on a ca the second half of su out with Sakae like nore, so he had seen both of them fairly recently Still, it had been half a month since they were all presentThey decided to use this chance to walk to school togetherThey jogged partway there, so they caught up with the other students by the tiutono Acaderoup, they would not be late They slowed their pace as they reached the hill“Sigh I hate getting up so early, but it is nice having school in session It was so depressing cli the break”“Oh, right You’re on the softball tea the break, didn’t you?”“Yeah This year was especially bad We’re going to the fall tourna all out”They felt coh to talk nowWhen these 4 gathered, Sakae and Saya were generally the talkers while Mutsuki and Ange were the listeners Their personalities matched up nicely like that It was a perfect friendshi+p“Oh, yeah I did hear that the softball, soccer, and…lacrosse tea all out this year”“Yeah The lacrosse team most of all Not even our tea in”This was fortunately a conversation that e to join inA lot of the teahout summer break this year: Saya’s softball team, the judo team, the brass band, the jazz club, the soccer team, etcBut the lacrosse tea in the most effort Mutsuki had heard about that since his little sister was on the elementary school lacrosse teamAs to why…“I wonder if that rumor is true”“It supposedly is They say she’s coh”“Sigh Her, huh?”“She” even gathered the interest of entirely normal students like Sakae and SayaShe had left the school in the spring, but she was apparently back now that the 1st term was over Word of her return for the 2nd terhout the schoolJust hearing that she was coed) with enough hout summer break The rumor had even made it to Mutsuki’s class in a lower year He also overheard so about the rumor“…”Neither Mutsuki nor Ange were very talkativeA new ter, but Mutsuki was not 100 cheerfulIn fact, he had e was out of the house a lot lately The conflict over the Serpent’s Eye between the angels, de summer break, but none of it had been resolvedAnd now they were catching gliy with demonic power“See ya”“Yeah, good luck, Sakae”“Sure thing”All 4 of theether, but they parted ith Sakae in front of the classroom He was the Class Rep, so he had a lot to do for the opening ceremonyOnce inside, Saya temporarily left thee sat in their seats near theThey had not been in the classroom for a month, so it was full of enjoyable differencesWith rown-out hair or tanned skin accu into a strange world half a step removed from their normal life“Ah, Mutsuki-ku~n❤”“Good , Lucia-kun… Ah”There were soes tooSomeone who had already arrived called out to hie’s on the back rowHe hied In fact, he lacked even the es since he was not hurow and his skin did not tanBut Mutsuki was shocked when he saw the class in the next seat forward“…Good , Niki-san”“Ah…sorry”That was Mutsuki’s desk, so the class him there After a quick word to Lucia, she leftLucia responded normally, but he lost interest in her the instant she left and then s down and asked a question“What did Niki-san want?”“H with a band for the cultural festival and she wanted to know if I would join her”“Hmm…”The seat was a little hen Mutsuki sat down He felt oddly restless and looked toward the girlNiki Hozu to stand out Her hair had only been a little bleached during the 1st terildedSheout a new look for her post summer break debut Mutsuki noticed a lot of their classlances her way, so he was not the only one shocked by thisShe had likely decided to renew herself for the new ter Lucia as theclassmate“She said so, but I wasn’t really listening”Her attempt had apparently not been very successful“More i back up Eh heh heh It was hard finding chances to see you over the break because a certain stupid angel kept getting in the way”Lucia ignored their classmate’s new look and only expressed any interest in Mutsuki“That’s right We can see each other every day now”Mutsuki noddedThey had known each other for 4 months now Mutsuki had not knohat to do about this boy’s affection at first, but he had started accepting it recently And…“Well excusea third wheel”“No, um, that wasn’t what I meant”“…Hmph”Ange must have heard him because she put on a lopsided frownWhat he had ended up saying ized But…“Huh? So you knew you were getting in our way?”“What did you say!?”The deelEven after 4 ether, these 2 still did not get alongBut luckily…“Ki-pon sure does stand out now”“Oh…”“Oh…”When Saya walked over after leaving her things at her desk, the 2 of them lowered their tone“They do say suirl …What’s the matter?”“Nothing”Ange sat back down and Lucia did not provoke her any furtherThose 2 were always fighting, but they had a tacit understanding that they could not fight in front of norels and demonsThat likely rown accustomed to the human world over the past 4 monthsSaya did not notice the dangerous e while still focused on Niki’s new look“Maybe I should dye et mad at me”She tugged on her hair which was a little messy today“What do you think, Lu-kun? Do you think I should get it dyed?”“Hmm I think looks fine the way it is Your natural hair color is brown, so adding any weird colors would probably stand out too much”She began speaking with Lucia entirely naturallyThose two had apparently found a lot in coetting along really well recently Saya even called Lucia “Lu-kun”“Maybe so But…” Saya turned toward Ange “I kind of want to try out red hair Like Ange-chan”“Yawn… Wh-what are you doing, Saya?”Saya grabbed soainst it“Eh heh heh heh Your hair is so great, Ange-chan It’s so silky and smooth♪ How do you take care of it?”“Nothing special I just wash it and dry it like normal”“And you get this? Ohhh, it’s like a miracle I’m so jealous”“W-wait I get it, so don’t sniff it”Those 2 also got along now Ange was unsociable to the core, but she no longer treated Saya like a nuisance and Saya now approached Ange like they were friends“Eh heh heh heh heh heh Sniff, sniff… Eh heh heh heh heh It sood”“…Saya?”“Uweh heh heh heh heh heh♡♡♡”Although Saya soo beyond mere friends“I agonized over it for half a e-chan I’ll stay true to you”“Huh?”“No ht be incredibly…but I’ll stay on a path I can believe in!”“???”Saya seemed to have made some kind of decisionShein the e could only tilt her head at this friend who had been acting a little oddly since the ca trip“But it really is so silky I’”More than just sh the silky red hair and then felt her own hair for comparisonShe had not fought sufficiently thisout in places“This isn’t very good And on the 1st day of the new term too…”It apparently bothered her, so she started co it with her handHowever, that was not going to help much“Ugh I should have brought a brush Hey, does anyone have one?”She was not the type to wear makeup or mess with her eyebrows, so she did not even have a brush with her So she askedUnfortunately, Mutsuki, Ange, and Lucia all shook their heads, so she looked across the classroom in search of someone else to borrow a brush from And…“…”“Oh, good , Ibekusa-san”“…Good ”It was precisely 8:30 Machina arrived just as the bell was about to ringThey had gotten in the habit during the 1st terreeted Mutsuki when he called out to her Lucia showed no sign of greeting her, but it did look like Ange exchanged a brief glance with herHer seat was in front of Ange, so Saya started to get up But Machina shook her head, said not to worry about it, and only set her bag down on the deskSaya settled back down, and…“Hey, hey Machi-nyan, do you have a hairbrush or a comb?”“?”“My hair’s kind ofceremony like this”
“…Wait”Machina searched through her bagFrorab a penShe briefly stuck it back in the bag and then pulled out a plastic comb“Here one is”“Yay♪ Thank goodness Let me borrow it, let me borrow it”Saya reached out her hand, but…“Positive”Machina ignored that and circled behind her“Stay still”“Huh…hh?”Machina began co out all over the place“Oh…oh, ohhhh…”Saya had not expected this, so she froze upMachina continued thoroughly co down the brown hairThe gentle th from Saya’s shoulders“Ahhh…♡ I’m so unfaithful…♡”For sorew as slack as her shouldersThis was the 1st day of the new termTheir school life was starting back up and Mutsuki’s cheeks relaxed at finding it even better than he had hopedAnge, Machina, and Lucia were gathered together and it all felt naturalAnyone who saw theetherNo one would ever iine that 3 of the 5 were representatives of 3 different deadly and ruthless groups That made him happy“…”Even if a change was approaching fast“…Mutsuki-kun?”Lucia noticed the sudden cloud that fell over Mutsuki’s expression as he watched the 3 frolicking girls“It’s nothing”He ihts, but it was too late and the girls looked his way tooAnge and Saya tilted their heads to ask hiave hieOf the 3, the boy’s eyes naturally stopped on MachinaHis biggest worry about the co term had to do with FeTUSHe had been worrying about this – about “her” – for the entire half atripHe had wanted to ask about it, but Machina had dodged the question when he had asked right after the ca trip and he doubted she would answer now eitherAnd…“Hey, everyone The opening cereet to the auditorium”A portion of the answer came from somewhere elseClass Rep Sakae returned and instructed everyone toup and leaving the classroomSakae walked over to Mutsuki’s group“C’mon, Mutsuki and Satowa You too, Jiyuuni and Ibekusa …Kurikara? That expressions is creeping me out”He urged theThe 6 of theroupSakae and Mutsuki were childhood friends and Lucia stuck with themEven if Ange and Machina had no intention of grouping together, Saya naturally tied theetherAs Class Rep, Sakae drove the entire class out before leaving himself“The rumors were true She’s in the auditorium”“Eh?”He locked up the classroom as he explained“shi+rohara-senpai was there”Megutono Acadeh school and they each had their own opening cereh, so there was a realEach cerein in the auditorium an hour apart, so that luckilya speech It unluckily meant they were rushed in and outThis ti a lick of attention to the headmaster’s mercifully short speechAlside the teacher’s on the side of the auditoriue“And next ill have a greeting from the Student Council President”The heade and a broadcast club member made that announcementExcitement filled all of the middle school students in the auditoriumShe eNot only was she beautiful, but her hips were positioned incredibly high, which gave her a strange intensity as she walked Her light brown hair fluttered elegantly behind her, which filled everyone with tension as they watchedShe bowed toward the national and school flags hanging behind the stage and straightened up Everyone naturally straightened their back as she faced them“I would like to begin by greeting you all”Her speech had a mysterious ability to draw people in“At the request of Previous Student Council President Tanaka Kozue-san, I have returned to my position of President today I am shi+rohara Ren”It was the same as the year before“…”Mutsuki was especially tense“I left this school before, but I have returned for this terive you all a proper school life”She was speaking through a microphone, but every last person listened attentively as if she were facing and speaking to them personally“This term will be busy with the cultural festival, athletic festival, and other events, and it is time to focus on trial exams and your studies for the 2nd and 3rd years With so much to do, it will not be an easy term”It felt like being admonished by their mothers In a word, it was a comfortable speechBut it was th that seemed to burn their earsThat iirl’s words were always like this“My name is Lavriel Baran I ahter of the proud Baran family which has left its name in 350 years of British history You may call me Dame Lavriel”She had spoken to theround on that day halfway through su vividly in Mutsuki’s earsThis reminded him that they really were the same person“…”A gloo rose in his chest and he bit his lipshi+rohara Ren had left the school in March, but she retained enough influence to gather everyone’s attention with a single speech She had been Megutono Academy’s Middle School Student Council President for the previous year…And Mutsuki had secretly looked up to herBut she was Miss B of the FeTUS WitchesShe was part of an organization that was targeting himFeTUS was a relatively trustworthy group and Mutsuki at least did not feel all that nervous about theuard He was on friendly terms with Machina, aka their Miss EBut it was still a co“That ends ”
Ren finished her model speech as boldly as everShe bowed toward the audience, bowed toward the flags behind her, and then descended from the podium And as she did…“…”“…”Mutsuki thought she briefly looked his way, so he quickly looked away
