He was utterly dumbfounded He had not the slightest clue what was going on
And then
Kyuji Bchu Ahh
Eh
After being attacked by inhuman foes a few times already Mutsuki quickly realized what this voice was
The unpleasant groan was as high-pitched as fingernails on glass A moment later it showed itself A black slime-like creature burst from his wet clothes
(One of those things was still there )
A scorched stench hung around it but it fell between Chiaki’s limp legs and moved itself forward
Mutsuki trembled in horror as it sent ripples through the spreading puddle and gradually grew in size
It was absorbing the urine to grow
After drinking it all and leaving the wooden floor perfectly clean it moved toward Chiaki’s jeans in search of more liquid
S-stop
Kyubi Kyugahh Agyahh
He thought his legs would give out again but he frantically picked up his unconscious sister and ran away
The black filth cried and wailed in hunger as it crawled after him What was he supposed to do
He decided to at least get Chiaki away and ran toward the entranceway
Yes Good good
A ball of red fire squashed the slime flat
The filth had burst to pieces from a flame hammer strike and it then turned to ash Nothing remained afterwards There was not even a mark on the floor
Walking around town with the Serpent’s Eye opened was pretty reckless you know I went out of my way to meet you at the station but you ditched me
That flame had burned only the black water The color was different but Mutsuki had seen this just a bit earlier He turned cautiously toward the voice
But
At some point a woman had appeared in the entranceway
You did a good job protecting your cute little sister so I’ll skip the lecture
She too had flames growing from her back
She did not have a giant sheet of metal but her otherworldly aura still left Mutsuki in a daze
His eyes first stopped on the healthy color of her skin Its brown was gentler than a black person’s so it more closely resembled a dark tan It was a milk tea color that could not be reproduced with dyes or at a tanning salon Then he noticed her outfit She wore a miniskirt about as short as a waistcloth and a black
cutter shirt that only just barely covered her breasts While she was also wearing boots that rose halfway up her thighs and a long coat that covered her entire body her outfit left her cleavage midriff and thighs entirely exposed so it was hardly appropriate to wear around town She had red almond-shaped eyes with a double eyelid the deep-chiseled bridge of her nose stood prominently out and her plump lips were a shade of red paler than her skin Overall she had the facial features of a model Her wavy waist-length hair was a glistening honey blonde which added to her charm She was unmistakably beautiful but that seductive atmosphere actually made the boy wary
Wh-who are you
Suspicious Mutsuki stood in front of his unconscious sister
Appreciation filled the brown beauty’s face when she saw that brave brother
But when she looked the boy in the eye she looked just as shocked as Chiaki or the
neighborhood girls and women had
So this I the power of the one to be the origin I guess I shouldn’t be surprised
She crouched down a little and instantly moved right in front of Mutsuki
She had moved too quickly for him to follow with his eyes and she grabbed his cheeks before he could even gasp
Be closed Humans are happiest as humans
Wah
An itching sensation raced through his right eye but it was much kinder than the pain from before The boy frantically pushed her hands from his cheeks He tried a little too hard to back away and his knees gave out He landed on his butt next to his sister Wh-what did you just do
Oh you’re pretty cute I like this a lot better than that snake eye
The boy snapped back at her due to the responsibility of having his little sister so nearby but the woman dodged his question with a gentle smile She then threw some kind of key his way
The keychain had a small hand mirror attached so he looked into it
His usual face was back Everything was back to normal right eye and all
Noticing the tension leave his face the woman smiled his way again His heart skipped a beat when he looking at her again and realized how beautiful she was
The world has begun to move
She whispered to him with a meaningful alto voice
The world has begun to move with you at the center
Gather heaven earth and hell and you will have everything The entire world is revolving around you
That was when he realized something else
I’ll explain what’s going on since I’m sure you’re frightened with all this strange stuff happening
He recognized the strangely cute yet mature alto voice
It was the voice he had heard over the phone earlier
Would you mind going on a date with me
After removing both Mutsuki’s tension and caution she gave him a playful wink
The woman said her name was Jiyuuni Micha and Mutsuki decided to believe her for the time being
