She calmly continued her discussion as the boy buried his face in her back due to the cold and his fear She had raised her voice because the sirens were so loud but that was the only change
Oh right That you’re the chosen one Anyway destined people like that are often targeted by dangerous enemies right
She let go of the handlebar with the hand not accelerating
She drove with one hand while easily exceeding 100 kph Mutsuki had gone pale but she pointed back with her thumb When he looked that way
The Serpent’s Eye is this world’s one and only perfect power If you gouged it out and encased it in glass it would become the most valuable jewel imaginable Everyone who knows about it wants to get their hands on it Whether they’re a demonor a human When Mutsuki saw the rightmost police car she pointed at he grew even paler
There are two main groups after you One is the demons I mentioned before And
There was no one inside it
The driver’s seat and passenger seat were both empty and the steering wheel was moving on its own
These are the bigger problem They’re called the Springloaded They’re the servants of a
human group who want the Serpent’s Eye That group is named FeTUS
Micha
The freezing boy screamed as the motorcycle accelerated even further
He was afraid of their pursuers but he was even more afraid of the red light at the intersection they would reach in another three seconds at this speed Even if they were trying to escape this was far too fast for a public road That’s lucky I think we can get away now
The woman charged right into the intersection at 130 kph even as people used the crosswalk
She swerved left and right so sharply her knees nearly scraped the ground and just barely avoided hitting any of the pedestrians or cars She kept it up all the way to the other side of the intersection Mutsuki had seen videos of people slipping through the paper-thin gaps between the bullets filling the screen on a shooting game but he had never imagined he would experience it in person He was still trembling even after they made it through He heard screeching brakes and then an especially loud collision
The police cars with actual policemen in them had of course stopped but the unmanned one known as a Springloaded had been destroyed when a truck T-boned it from the side
However they did not have time to relax In fact it was only after that destruction that the boy realized how frightening his pursuers were
As if removing a disguise the police car writhed and transformed The frame shrank down abandoning any space for passengers and creating a longer form Claws burst out to form legs
Just like the Porsche had with his cellphone the police car swallowed up the parts of the damaged truck
Their Lithography sure has gotten fast complained Micha Honestly they get more dangerous by the day
If the Porsche had been an inchworm then this was a giant metal grasshopper with the large vehicle’s cylinders as the back legs After eating another machine to grow and complete its transformation it jumped over the chaotic intersection It was still pursuing the trembling boy
Not to worry We’re here to protect you
Micha calmly turned around despite their speed
We’re angels
She winked at him
They were approaching the entrance to a vehicles-only road so she turned that way at the last second With a snap the end of the accelerator grip seemed to break off It turned out to be cover and some kind of button was revealed below Mutsuki wanted to complain that this was not a manga but he still gathered all of his strength in the arms around her waist because he had a good guess what was coming next
And a moment later
They were moving too fast for him to hear his own scream so how fast was that converted to kph
At any rate after being attacked by a mysterious boy being pursued by machine monsters and
all the other strange events this was the most frightening moment of the day Still they did manage to escape their pursuers
Anyway
Despite all the running away Micha brought him to an apartment building in the same town
It was about a half hour walk from his home He had been forced to hold on for dear life for over an hour but it seemed that was mostly because she had wanted to go touring While trying to hide the few tears he had shed he followed Micha inside It’s pretty messy since I’ve only just moved in but try to ignore it okay
Okay
Mutsuki lived in a house so entering a high-rise apartment building made him nervous He was taken to the top floor and then to one of the rooms overlooking the town at a frightening height
You were right about it being messy
That was his first impression
He removed his shoes in the entranceway which was filled with so many boots and sandals it
