Volume 6 Chapter 5 (1/2)

“Both of you! Wait a sec-…”

Mutsuki’s voice was drowned out by the

sound of the school building’s wall being bloay

Red and gold Two balls of light shot out

onto the athletic ground

“My power is the sword of prayer Manifestation

of alhty wisdom, appear before me!”

“Just so you know, I’ to hold

back! Haaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!”

“Myrddin!!”

“Prominence!!”

The two draords clashed

Ange wielded a giant mass of metal that was

probably larger than she was in both width and height, but Ren’s sas

thin Yet it did not bend or break Also…

“Why…you!”

As the angel charged her way, the witch

chose not to dodge and instead caught the attack head-on She did not fall

back

Even if Ange was lighter due to her smaller

body size, she had to have the greater overall weight when her sas

included If her power in the clash had been matched, it meant her opponent had

greater strength or speed

“!?”

And Ren’s lighter blade gave her the more

dexterous weapon

The clashi+ng swords moved toward Ren…were

pulled toward Ren She intentionally relaxed her strength to get Ange to lean

forward Then she placed her weight on the intersection of the blades where

their strength was focused

“Agh!”

And she kicked Ange back

Ange was sent flying by the solid hit She

slae dent

“Your speed is decent, but your movements

are all too rough”

Despite how angry she had been just before

the battle began, Ren was extres as she

approached

A normal human would have been turned to

mincee grimaced

She raised her divine sword in both hands

“Prominence – Loop!”

“Oh…?”

She attacked with the split halves of the sword

The flurry of attacks from the double

swords kept Ren fro and she was forced to fall back while

blocking

That hen Mutsuki caught up

“Stop this, you two!”

Seeing their stretched shadows as they

clashed too quickly to follow, he was briefly dumbfounded, but then he shouted

at them

Ren had likely made sure no one was around

in advance Everyone was supposed to have left school and those tere the

only ones on the athletic ground That was a relief, but…

“Deryaaaaaaaaahh!!”

He did not want Ange or Ren to get hurt, so

the sight of their three weapons co so close to slice each other in tas

bad for his heart

“What is going on?”

Machina and Subaru arrived after hearing

the commotion Their eyes widened at the disastrous state of the schoolyard

“Why are they fighting?”

“I don’t know Senpai just suddenly did

this…and now Ange is like that We have to stop them somehow”

“It would be best not to approach right

now They’re both taking this very seriously”

Subaru loved battle through and through, so

her eyes sparkled as the scene excited her

“It is true there are not many ways to stop

them But we still must do so…”

If she joined in, there really would be no

stopping it, so Machina made sure the violent cat would not interfere while

watching over the two corim look

“…before Jiyuuni-san is defeated”

Ren was being pushed back by Ange’s tord

style, so she leaped backwards to put some distance between them She landed on

a soccer goal post that happened to be there

As Ange attempted to pursue, Ren raised her

skinny sword and pulled out the scabbard at her hip

“My power is the sword of valor

Manifestation of co on the lake shore, appear before me!”

The scabbard lost its shape as ifand connected to the sword’s hilt It changed form

The hilt extended further and further,

continued its growth even after hitting the post she was standing on, and

ultilittering in

the setting sun, this was…

“Lancelot!!”

“Wha-!?

The newly-fore

The soccer goal at her feet was bloay

and it e By that time, Ren had already

arrived right in front of Ange The raised tip was about to catch her in the

throat

The angel just barely ed to twist her

body and avoid being skewered, but even after dodging the tip, she was still

within range of the long lance

“Agh!”

Ren twisted her hands just a bit and the

shaft portion dug into Ange’s gut with the full force of the witch’s charge

Hit by the rimaced

“Gah…hh…Corona!!”

Azure flames burst from her back and struck

the ground so Ange could escape into the sky

But as a ball of light, Ren instantly ended

her incredible charge, kicked at the saed

direction She kept up with the angel

Unable to escape this time, they both

crashed into the school building behind theht crushed the

s wall

Only after that was the entire hill on

which the academy stood shaken by the explosive noise of a sonic boom Mutsuki

was nearly bloay even while watching from a distance Machina stepped

forward to protect hih

“Don’t get…carried…away!!”

Instead of fighting the pressure, Ange

opened a hole in the wall and leaped away Instead of pursuing, Ren returned to

the athletic ground

Ange also returned She realized the two

swords only let Ren overpower her, so she had recombined them With the attack

power of that great weight, she could effectively coe

But…

“Haaaaaaaaaaaahh!”

“Heh Myrddin!”

When the girl charged in at her, Ren

returned her skinny sword to its original state and blocked

They once more clashed without either side

having a real weight advantage Ren was not overpowered

Ange had the greater strength and speed,

but the witch was cleverer She twisted her sword to redirect the force to her

right while slipping below the sword and to the left Ange quickly responded,

but she could not gather any strength with her sword arm twisted

Ren grabbed that arm

“You never stop being a pain in

the-…aaaahhhh, ow!”

She twisted it further

“Ahhhh! Agh, gh…wait! Hey…you!”

Ange was caught couard by

this shi+ft froes to dirty joint locks

She dropped Proround

“Hmph Just as the data said, you aren’t

much of a threat in your normal state”

Ren continued twisting her arm instead of

delivering a finishi+ng blow

“I willme”

“Insulting…? Ngaaaahh! What is this about insulting you!?”

“Shut up! Peeping andother people is

a shameful bad habit!”

“O, ow!”

“Don’t tell anyone what you saw!”

“Huh?”

This seeument, but…

Regardless, this settled it Even without

the coels, Ren had used her opponent’s tactics

against her and e, so this was an utter victory

for her

“Y-you two Isn’t that enough!?”

Surely that had settled the “duel” Mutsuki

ran over, thinking this was his chance to intervene

“Gh… G-give it a rest”

Feeling shaest

angel’s face stiffened with humiliation just like Ren’s had before

“!?”

Noticing so odd, Ren leaped away

Even the distant boy could see so

rong

The air avering around Ange Almost

like she had beco that did not fit into this world

“If my normal state isn’t much of a

threat…then I’ll show you a power that’s decidedly not normal”

“…Is that how it’s going to be?”

The air shi+mmered Ren’s expression tensed

when she saw the slight burn on her palel

Machina and Subaru both gulped

They had seen Ange’s eyes blowing gold as

she got up

The last tiolden

eyes, they had been beaten to the ground with no hope of resisting

That was the ultiels

It was the ultiainst the humans

“Metatron…”

“S-stop, Ange!”

Realizing what this meant, Mutsuki cried out

She must not use this The power turned

Ange herself into a bomb If she used it, she and at least the entire city

would be disintegrated

Her angelic body was already e

intense heat and the disturbed air currents formed a wall of air instead of

just soer approach Only Miss B could face

her thanks to the FeTUS heat-reduction technology she wore

“Bring it on… I came to japan to slay that

power I, FeTUS Witches Miss B, am not as kind as my teacher!”

She raised her sword once more

The dropped Prominence had returned to

Ange’s hand The vortex of flaold

“Here I go!”

“Come!”

The deadly battle’s second round was

beginning

“Stooooooooop!!”

“!?”

“!?”

But just before it could, the angel and

witch’s hips gave out beneath them

Even Machina and Subaru backed ahile

si

This was the power that could surpass even

Metatron for woh to make Machina and Subaru jerk even when

it was not directed at them

Mutsuki waited for Metatron’s wall of air

to vanish and then ran over to the two girls who had fallen to the ground while

facing each other

“Give it a rest, Ange! Set down your sword!

You too, Senpai!”

“Wait, Mutsuki, don’t use that…ah, ahhh!”

“Wh-what is this…!? My body…”

Their arms prioritized the boy’s words over

their oills, so they placed their swords on the ground despite their enemy

being right there Ange’s eyes returned to blue and Metatron’s power vanished

from her

Just as the boy had said…just as ordered by

her ht eye

“S-stupid Mutsuki…turn off the Serpent’s

Eye That’s…that’s…”

“Kh…Th-this is the Serpent’s Eye?

Ah…ahhhhh What is this?”

“Oh, sorry”

Anyone he looked at would be instantly

ruled by hihting

just like he wanted and they had also been exposed to its forced arousal power

Ange ht have been used to it, but this

was Ren’s first ti taken over inside her

body She eating heavily, so Mutsuki quickly blinked his eye to close it

And at that moment…

Some bushes on the other end of the

athletic ground moved a bit

Subaru did not overlook it, so she ran

over The bushes stopped trying to be stealthy and rustled loudly

So to

escape And…

When the figure dashed out and immediately

hid behind the school building, Ren saw fluttering hair that was clearly red

even in the light of the setting sun She forced herself back onto her feet

“It can’t be… Miss E! Take care of these

two!”

She dragged her weak-hipped body along to

follow after Subaru

Mutsuki and Machina were left behind And Ange

siround

“Jiyuuni Ange”

After signing the na

student, they were let into the infirmary There was no teacher there today

either, but President Ren would probably handle all the formalities later

“I will fix the school building You two

wait here”

“Right”

“Call forhappens”

Machina aardly glanced over at the sink

before quickly leaving Mutsuki laid Ange down in the bed

She had fought an intense battle and then

received the effects of the Serpent’s Eye, so she had to be worn out He did

not knohat Subaru and Ren had seen or who they were pursuing, but the duel

had been called off That was definitely a good thing, but the suddenness of it

confused him

He decided to rest until someone from FeTUS

contacted him

“…Ange”

He wrinkled his brow and approached the

dazed-looking girl

He did not want to be too harsh with her

when she was so exhausted, but…

“What was that just now?”

“What hat?”

When the boy pressed her for an answer, the

strong-willed girl reflexively pouted her lips She turned away like a sulking

child

“She’s the one that started it”

“And she rong to do so She seemed to

have some kind of reason and we can ask her about it later But I’

about what happened after that I can’t just let that slide”

Mutsuki usually backed off when she sulked,

but today was different He looked her right in the eyes that had turned gold,

the color of Metatron, earlier

She had tried to use Metatron That meant

she had tried to self-destruct and commit suicide

“You said you would never do that again”

“…”

“You promised”

His nature kept hi too

harshly, but Mutsuki was angry That got through to Ange and that hy the

strong-willed angel pouted her lips

The girl remained silent and the

conversation trailed off, so an aard silence filled the room

His recent frustrations concerning Ange

were all rising to the surface Even if they were in opposing organizations,

she treated Ren so sharply, as if trying to make more enemies She was always

gone at night and she would not tell hi

He was also curious about what had happened

just before the duel began She had been carrying a large paper bag What had

that been?

And just as he wondered that…

“I brought your things”

Machina returned

She had apparently brought the school bag

and other things they had left by the stairs She had both Mutsuki’s and Ange’s

and she placed them on the teacher’s desk

“Jiyuuni-san”

…And that included the large paper bag

“Here It got a bit dirty in the wreckage,

so I’ll wash it for you”

Machina pulled out the contents Ange’s

eyes widened in shock and Mutsuki’s did too once he realized what Machina had

pulled out…and what Ange had been trying to hide

A red backpack And two sets of clothing:

the dress Lucia had worn a few days before and a yellow kindergartner’s smock

Those were the costumes for the play’s

lead

“Y-you idiot! You don’t have to show me!”

“But aren’t going to wear them?”

“Just put them away! Um, I’ll wash them

myself”

“Hm? Understood”

Machina looked confused, but she did as she

was told

She then started to leave the room

“Also, about tonight” She turned back

around “The repairs to the school building are going to take a while, so I

doubt I will be able to help with your Metatron control training”

“Huh?”

“Why did you have to say that part out

loud!? Just go!”

Machina looked confused when she was yelled

at again

Mutsuki blinked his eyes as he watched her

leave

That conversation left him with two

questions He could guess the answer to them both, but he could not ask Machina

now

That irl He

turned toward Ange and found her face bright red

His only choice was to ask the eirl

“She said you would be wearing those

clothes…”

“…What?”

“Are you playing the lead?”

“…I-I had no choice Everyone kept lookingme over and over It

was, um, hard to say no”

“…”

Mutsuki was speechless

That prideful girl would be wearing those

clothes? But more than that…

She hated humans and refused to open up to

anyone, but she was doing this for the class?

“And, um, as that about control

training?”

“…”

“Have you been doing so with

Ibekusa-san?”

“~~ I’ve been getting her help at night”

This one likely hurt her pride as a

warrior She confessed with a sullen look on her face

“I thought I could bring out a small

portion of Metatron and use whatever amount I could control And it looks like

I can use 20-30 of its power”

“Is that why you’ve been gone every night?”

“For practice, yes It causes a ton of heat, so I can’t do it at the apartment Ibekusa created a dedicated location for it outside of town She says it’s

in since I can practice controlling it and she can measure Metatron’s

heat-increase variable”

Mutsuki was dumbfounded

Even if it was coive and take,

they orking together At the very least, that was only possible if they

were certain of each other’s intent to maintain a truce

It was not just her classe was

getting along with an enemy like Machina as well

“…Ange”

“What? …Wah”

The blushi+ng girl looked away, so she could

not dodge when the boy suddenly hugged her Her small body fit perfectly

between his arms and he pushed her back onto the bed

“S-stupid Mutsuki, what are you-… Let go”

She tried to coot

tongue-tied

“Ahm…”

And her lips were sealed by his

Ange was shocked by the forceful kiss Her

shoulders and back tensed and she gave him a sharp look of protest

But that was all Only her eyes protested;

she did not actually resist Mutsuki had known she would not resist, so he had

not restrained her and his eentle

“So you weren’t going to blow up back

there”

“Of course not I am technically your

bodyguard, so I wouldn’t use so that would harm you And ould I

throwlike that? That’s ridiculous”

“I guess you have a point”

“I need a neer if I’ to keep

protecting you from now on”

“…Right”

From now on

Those words deepened the boy’s kiss

“Wait, we’re going to do it h-here?”

“You’re having a hard ti

exposed to the Serpent’s Eye, aren’t you? You’ve been sweating a lot”

“Uuh… That is true, but…”

He kissed her again and finally began an

adult kiss that stickily intertwined within her mouth

As he had said, the Serpent’s Eye’s power

was overwhele’s body whether she liked it

or not and her hips had to be itching for stis were

turned a bit inward

And the worst part was that Mutsuki could

help her extinguish that fire

He pressed his lips against hers with the intensity

of atechnique

“But we can’t do it here Uht

see us”

“Senpai apparently sent everyone away

before the battle, so there’s no one here”

They spoke while their lips did battle

Ange was still reluctant because Ren

herself or Machina ht show up, but Mutsuki had completely overlooked that

fact in his lust

“Wait, but…I’m still not mentally

prepared…Ahhn”

His kiss was so intense it made her feel

dizzy and Ange’s reason for rejecting hiuer

Her sweat glands naturally opened up and

sweat soaked her jewel-like skin She wanted to reject him because she had

twice the pride and en

of taking action on that want

Noticing that, Mutsuki began an even more

persistent kiss

“Ahm, nh, nh, hh, hhh…nn”

Instead of just pressing theether, he rubbed

their lips together and licked at hers enough to see a gliue every

so often

The lips had sensitive nerves, so once you

started stirow in intensity

“No…ahn, Mutsuki”

She soon responded with some obscene

kissing of her own Her ja tired and hung limply open The way her sticky

tongue wrapped around his was undeniable proof that she was accepting his kiss

Mutsuki was usually shy, but his kissing

technique had been polished by the likes of Lucia and Micha A child like Ange

was entirely helpless She was quickly infected by the sweet sensation and he

began sending a hypnotic vibration to her tongue

“Ahh…nnh, nmh”

They pressed their tongues together closely

enough to feel all the little bumps on the surface

An obscenely wet sound came from their

connected mouths

“You’re as weak to kisses as ever”

“Sh-shut up That’s only because you do it

in such a leay…”

“So it makes you lewd, too?”

“~ ~”

“Heh heh You’re so cute”

She would get ot carried away,

so he placated her by licking her soft lips again

He had confirel

eak to kissing countless times over the past two months They had slept

together many times over summer break and he had found several more weaknesses

during that time

He looked her right in the eye

“Stupid…Mutsuki…”

He rubbed her head

“Stupid…”

He tickled her adorable earlobe

“…Stupid♡”

The angry look to her eyes rapidly melted

away

Her treressive

She actively participated in the fight between tongues

Gravity naturally pulled the stickiness

toward the shorter one, so her sensual throat sed their combined saliva:

“Nn♡ Nn♡”

“I’ to touch you now”

He reached for her limp body

She had sand on her after the rae on

the athletic ground, so he first stroked her shi+rt and skirt to brush it off

Once that was done, his hands moved to her

legs

“Nn, stupid Mutsuki, why are you touching

me in such a dirty way…?”

“Because I want to”

He stroked her sexy thighs

Feeling ticklish, Ange wrinkled her slender

eyebrows She desperately grimaced as she tried to suppress how she trembled

froers

She was not wearing her usual spats today,

so as his fingers moved up…

“…What’s this dampness?”

“I-it’s obviously sweat”

“I know, I know That was quite a battle

out there”

He arrived at her plain panties deep within her scarlet checkered skirt

The dampness he felt even at her pubis was

likely from sweat, just like she said However…

“You’re so hot down here I can see why

you’re sweating”

“Ahh…nn Wait, no, ah…”

He traced his fingers along the center of

the cloth plastered to her skin by the moisture

Theout her panties contained

too much heat to claim it was just due to her workout

“Ah, ahhh Hey…Mutsuki, nhh,

that’s…e”

Ange wrinkled her brow just because he

rubbed along the edge of herpanties with lace

embroidery

“You’re even more sensitive than usual

…The Serpent’s Eye must have really affected you”

He was still only tickling her, but her

reaction was extreme She arched her back so much he was afraid she would break

her treer suppress the damp breaths

He recalled a tie

had been under the Serpent’s Eye’s influence She had been so sensitive to

sexual stiht her

to climax

“I’ll give you a light orgasm real quick

You need soht away, don’t you?”

“Eh? Eh? Light…? Hwah!”

He used the hand not in her skirt to reach

behind her head and embrace her

He entle touch, but it was

enough to easily pull the short angel into his arm He embraced her sideways

while sitting cross-legged

“W-wait This is…ahh”
