They were keeping it from Mutsuki but the discovery of Adam and the completion of the Holy Grail were only the necessary steps toward creating a child from the two
That meant the implantation – the impregnation – had to come next
Ange was unsure how to respond to the idea of Machina and Mutsuki having a child
And she was curious about something else too
Machina and Mutsuki had been kissing more than necessary recently but they showed no sign of the crucial baby-making
Is there some kind of problem
She tried coming out and asking
Machina looked somewhat troubled as she answered
Miss A is hesitating
Miss A You mean that little kid
Ange had fought her once before Miss A was an old woman of several hundred years who looked like a child She was Machina’s boss
I do not know why but she will not give me the instruction She only says to wait and see what happens
Wait and see After all this
Even Ange was puzzled by that one
They had everything they needed Given FeTUS’s past actions they should have been carrying out the rest of the plan immediately
She could not imagine why they had not
She said Fujita and my feelings were of the utmost importance and she left it with me
Your feelings
She said two people should love each other before they make a baby so she left the decision to me
This was not just beyond Ange’s expectations It was completely out of left field
FeTUS pursued Adam as the representative of the entire human race Their final objective was to place his child in the womb they called the Holy Grail
They were a step away from accomplishing that but this was their reason for stopping
Because two people should love each other before they make a baby
How romantic
Even a hostile angel was shaken by this reasoning They had been logically sounding out the other’s intentions yet Machina had suddenly pulled out a textbook on morality
Machina did not seem to understand either because she fidgeted like a lost child
When I asked Miss D what to do she told me to flirt So in order to make a baby with Fujita I have been um
Flirting Oh
Ange briefly did not understand but then she saw Machina pressing her lips together
That was supposed to be flirting
Flirting is a way of conveying your appeal to the other personAnd Fujita likes it when I do that
Yes he does seem to like kissing
For the second time Ange’s shoulders slumped down She could not believe the recent commotion had come from something so silly
But our situation has not changed in the slightest In fact he seems bothered by it
Of course he is You’ve already done far more than kiss him so being a serial kisser isn’t going to change anything
Machina tilted her head
Ange felt herself relaxing after her recent worries came to such a ridiculous end
Thenwhat am I supposed to do
To Machina this was a serious attempt at baby-making She was apparently attempting to complete FeTUS’s final objective Ange went limp
I mean the issue is whether you love each other right So don’t you only have to confirm that
Hm What do you mean
Just ask Mutsuki if he loves you
(He’ll obviously say yes)
She chose to keep that last part to herself
Machina herself was probably the only person left who had not noticed Mutsuki’s feelings for her Ange Lucia Saya and their other classmates all knew
Ange then realized she had forgotten something important
Hey I bet it isn’t just for Mutsuki’s sake that Miss A hasn’t ordered you to do it
Mutsuki’s feelings were so obvious anyone would notice so FeTUS would have caught on while monitoring him
The only way they could not love each other was if Machina did not have feelings for Mutsuki
How do you feel about Mutsuki
Machina’s eyes widened
How do Ifeel about Fujita
She must have never thought about it before She repeated the words as if pondering them
Do you love him
Love isnot quite the right term I exist for him so it would be better to say I am his possession
She stated that plainly
And it did not seem to be a way of hiding any embarrassment She really did think that
(I see)
That told Ange what Miss A was trying to do
Which meant she could have said nothing more However
That possession stuff is only in relation to your position in FeTUS right What do you think What are your feelings
Machina seemed to be hesitating so Ange could not stop herself from saying more She took a step into the territory Miss A had stayed out of
My feelings
It seemed she really had never thought about it before She once more repeated back the words
After some hesitation she seemed to realize that was the fundamental issue
What does it meanto love someone
Don’t ask me Go check a dictionary
Love I still do not really understand
She apparently had the contents of a dictionary in her head but that was not
enough for her to make a decision
C’mon you know It’s like when you feel your heart racing and time passes so quickly when you’re with them
Time always moves at a fixed rate
Not what I meant
But something must have occurred to Machina because she suddenly held a hand to her chest
It is true my pulse accelerates when I am with him
