Adolescent Adam
According to Genesis the world was created from discord
Human history is a history of discord The first woman was a product of the very first man’s discord with heaven and the devil and he made her his wife The serpent’s deception created discord with nature cursing mankind with the suffering of work and childbirth Their discord with life burdened them with death and their discord with god ultimately banished them from paradise One of the man and woman’s children killed his brother splitting their life between civilization and farming Finally mankind attempted to construct a tower to reach heaven but they angered their lord and were given the discord of separate cultures In all of history conflict has never once vanished from the world of man No one lives their lives without sin When a man is born he must cull millions of his brothers
According to Genesis the world of man will never overcome that discord and obtain harmony
But
If some form of harmony does in fact exist
Adolescent Adam Chapter 1 - Blue-Burned Sky
Now
The waning light of twilight shined down
Look at me with that eye
Fujita Mutsuki’s harmony was shattered by that voice
He struggled and raised his head when he heard that whispering voice that had no place in his
normal life
Despite being told to look his right eye would not open He removed his hand from the eye but it only throbbed with so much heat he thought it would explode
It was the same itching feeling as when one watched too much TV swam in a pool or went outside during allergy season It felt like the retina had been rubbed too harshly He felt a heat like something else entirely had replaced his eye Simply exposing it to the air hurt All he could do was hold his hand to it with all his strength
The itching was growing by the second and he could not resist rubbing at it with his wrist He gave in to the pleasure of distracting himself however slightly from the hot throbbing
Ahh Gh Kh It hurts It hurts
Don’t worry That heat is proof that you are the chosen one
He heard some heavy damp breathing and a boy peered at his face And the boy did so with a shockingly sensual look in his eyes
Look at me Look at me with your Serpent’s Eye Violate me with that devilish gaze of such beautiful corruption
Uuh
Tears spilled from Mutsuki’s left eye as he obeyed and removed his hand from his right eye He hesitantly raised his puffy eyelid like a child afraid of some eye drops
And
Ah
The first thing he saw with his opened Serpent’s Eye was an angel swinging down a giant sword
The boy was sliced in two with his face still twisted in a look of ecstasy The girl casually kicked the corpse aside brushed back her hair and looked to Mutsuki
Mutsuki gasped not at the sight of someone being killed but at the sight of the girl in his no longer throbbing right eye
Fujita Mutsuki You are the legendary boy chosen by the demonic eye
Who are you
Ange I was sent here to protect you I am an angel
Her clear ocean blue eyes looked directly into his burning right eye
I am Ange of the Double Flame
That day was a perfectly normal day that began in a perfectly normal fashion
Daad moom nee-chaan Chiakii Mutsumi-chaan It’s morning
With parents an older sister and two younger sisters the Fujita family was relatively large and it was always Mutsuki’s job to get everything ready in the morning He prepared breakfast and everything else too He could not rely on any of the others so he had no real choice
Daad moom
He started from the very back of the second story bedrooms lined up alongside his own The first was his parents’ bedroom He knew knocking was not enough to wake them so he opened the door shook the bed and called loudly Finally two hands wearing identical rings poked out from the bunched-up sheets and waved to tell him they were up
They were both adults so they would not go back to sleep It was time to move on
Mutsumi-chaan
The room next to his parents’ belonged to the youngest daughter Mutsumi She was still in kindergarten so there was no real need to wake her this early but he had to check on something
He approached the bed buried under stuffed animals and pulled away the blanket
Nn Onii-tama Eh heh heh Good morning
Good morning I see you didn’t do it today Good job
He praised her and rubbed the head resting on the drool-covered Lazy Bear body pillow she loved so much Before she had wet the bed once every three nights but that rate had thankfully dropped quite a bit recently The next was the most formidable foe
Nee-chaan
She was in her twenties but her room looked about the same as Mutsumi the kindergartner He stepped into the room decorated with fancy wallpaper and anime posters and approached another bed buried under stuffed animals The person sleeping there was a kindergartner in an adult’s body
Nee Wake up nee It’s morning It’s Morning
He shouted quite loudly and shook her by the shoulders
Despite the rough treatment his sister continued to doze for about thirty seconds but she finally opened her eyes
Good morning Mu
Good morning Now get up
