The mention of Miss A reminded him of his visit to FeTUS headquarters a month before He had met Miss A FeTUS’s central figure then
Miss A did seem pretty frightening
Mh How is she frightening It’s the fact that she almost never scolds you that makes it so bad Although the way she looks kind of ruins that
Hm But she looked like a really dignified old woman
Old wo-oh I see
Their conversation fell out of sync and their rally did the same Ren quickly recovered though
The Miss A he had seen at their headquarters had been the kind of wrinkled old
lady seen in fantasy movies
She was frightening wasn’t she Hee hee That was a very well-made appearance
Ren giggled and the boy tilted his head
Then he recalled the girl he had met at the headquarters
Oh right Is Alice doing well
This time Ren’s face stiffened
You know that little girl Alice Arc was it
Y-yesshe’s doing well
That’s good to hear I’d really like to play with Alice someday
I beg you please stop adding the ‘ ’
No it’s nothing
The timing of their rally returned to normal and the ball’s back-and-forth stabilized
Butthen maybe I’m glad
If I couldn’t speak with you like this if the Serpent’s Eye hadn’t awoken then I’m
kind of glad it did
Mutsuki’s comment caused the girl’s eyes to widen briefly
It only lasted a second but she swung her racket too late
She twisted her body around and somehow managed to return the ball but she hit it too hard The ball shot right past the boy’s racket
It’s fine
Mutsuki went to grab the ball from near the fence behind him
Ren watched him with a dazed look that was unusual for her
She watched the boy with a look that did not belong to FeTUS Knight Miss B or to
the dignified Student Council President
——————
A moment later her expression tensed
Hm Senpai
When Mutsuki looked back she was sitting down Her racket had fallen by her side and she held both hands to the left side of her chest
Where her heart was
Wh-what’s the matter Does it hurt
No I’m fine It’s justugh
She did not seem to be in pain but she wrinkled her brow
She turned her back like she wanted to hide something and she held her hands very tightly to her left chest
All students must leave in 15 minutes Please return home
The school speaker installed in the tennis court played the recorded message with
Oborozukiyo as the background music
Ren got up when she heard it
L-looks like time’s up That’s all for today
Her normal brisk demeanor had returned
After Mutsuki left Ren returned to the Student Council Room to change She held
her left chest again and took a deep breath
(I can’t let him know about this)
Even if it had been to hide this she was still embarrassed by how pathetic she had looked in front of him
She always wanted to maintain her bold persona in front of that boy
She was exhausted after bracing herself like that so she sat on a nearby table
(Fujita Mutsuki)
Her fingers dug into the mound of her left breast
Getting to play with him today had been fun
She had always wanted to do that
(Hee hee Is this what it would be like if I had a little brother )
Her cheeks loosened at that thought
What she had said to him was true After viewing his data for so long he felt like a childhood friend even if the feeling was not mutual
So she had been hideously bored while unable to even speak with him
She had been born with a meddlesome streak Seeing that honest cute and somewhat unreliable boy made her want to act as his upperclassman and help him with his studies She wanted to praise him when he did something right She wanted to scold him when he did something wrong She had felt this way for so very long And the feeling had only grown after the cousin she saw as a little sister had gone missing
(Riselle)
That cute little sister had suddenly vanished and was now supporting an organization hostile to FeTUS Just thinking her name put Ren in a bad mood
And that strengthened her desire to protect Fujita Mutsuki
(And why did the turning point have to come in the half year when I was away )
She put on a lopsided frown as she thought
She had been watching over him ever since they were in elementary school but she had been forced to leave for less than half a year due to her family situation
His demonic vision had awakened during those five months Miss E aka Machina had been put in charge of monitoring him during that time so FeTUS had placed her in charge of Fujita Mutsuki now
(W-well I’m not going to criticize Miss E’s hard workBut um)
Thinking of Machina brought her mind to what had happened just ten days before in the infirmary
Machina had let the boy do with her as she wished and had peed in that lewd pose That beautiful girl rarely showed any emotion even among the others in
FeTUS but her face had been dyed by an unbearable mixture of embarrassment and intoxication Her body was sensual enough for another girl like Ren to feel her heart skip a beat and that body had been placed in such an indecent pose Th-that is just impure Fujita Mutsuki
