He wrinkled his brow in thought
Then a new golden seed flew in
It plopped down into the pool and was calm from the beginning so it would sink right down to the bottom and vanish into the ocean soon enough
But after so many hundreds of thousands of seeds this was the only one to make him look puzzled
Sakae he muttered Friends hm
He must have known what look was on his face He set down his glass and asked a question
Where did Ange Lucia and Ibekusa go again
Um towards Megutono Academy
I see Yes I thought they would be here in short order but it seems I was wrong
Even at sea Makoto accurately pointed in the direction the jet carrying those three had flown She pointed toward the city containing Megutono Academy and FeTUS Headquarters
When the young man faced that way the sea swelled up and the ship rapidly changed course It turned in the direction Makoto was looking
Let us go get themYes they are the Mutsuki boy’s precious friends
Did something happen Avalon
Micha must have assumed there were no problems remaining She had imbibed too much alcohol and was quite red in the face as she tilted her head
Humans have this pesky habit of causing discord And the Mutsuki boy is human He is no exception The young man smiled bitterly It seems the Fujita Mutsuki boy is my final obstacle
Adolescent Adam 9 Chapter 3 - What Miss A Left Behind
Ange
Machina had detected someone making a phone call
No one was going to answer that call but they managed to trace who had made the call quickly enough
It came from the Fujita home – Mutsuki’s family home
Once they arrived Mutsuki’s younger sister Fujita Chiaki rushed out She had been hesitantly watching things outside the house and tears filled her eyes when she saw someone she knew
Ange just about asked you’re still alive instead but caught herself
Um something isn’t right The TV is weird and I don’t hear anyone at all talking outside
The girl was panicking but she had not fully grasped the situation yet She may have been starting to realize that people had vanished from the city Ange patted her on the back to help calm her
Once she checked inside she found the Fujita family was confused but all five of them were there father mother older sister younger sister and littlest sister
They had apparently eaten dinner together and started watching TV as a family when the TV suddenly started acting oddly A few shows did not start when they were scheduled to begin The channels showing recorded shows continued as normal but the live news programs all showed empty studios The older sister had checked some websites that were updated in real time but they had suddenly stopped updating as well They had initially assumed there was some kind of trouble but things only grew more and more disconcerting and no one answered when they calling the TV stations The internet was functioning on the software side of things but no one was accessing any of the sites It had felt a lot like their family had been cut off from the world so they were scared and trying to find a way to escape
Explaining the situation to the Fujita family would only scare them so Lucia snapped his fingers to put the five of them in a deep sleep The trio carried them to their respective rooms and placed them in their beds They could assume this whole situation was only a dream And after placing a stuffed animal in the arms of Mutsumi the third sister
What does this mean asked Ange
There is something in common between all of the people unaffected by this situation said Machina
Kind of makes me happy said Lucia
The three of them walked outside
With the Fujita family asleep Machina could not detect anyone else in the world connecting to the communications network They spotted an airplane that had landed safely so apparently the pilots were avoiding an accident and then falling under its effects But there were exceptions who were not affected by it Fujita Mutsuki’s family Ange Machina and Lucia
It looks like the people who Mutsuki loved are unaffected
Th-that feels too optimistic to me but I can’t deny the possibility
Ange and Machina blushed and tried to dodge the issue but that did best describe the current situation
It was unlikely Mutsuki had done this consciously Leaving his family alone in an otherwise empty world would be dooming them to a living hell so something subconscious inside him must have created these exceptions like some kind of bug in the system But what did it mean for this bug to have occurred
What do we do
They exchanged a glance
They knew what they had to do First they had to save transformed Fujita Mutsuki break free of this situation and return humanity to normal
Thanks to that bug they were the only ones who could do thatno they were the only ones who would want to do it
But wanting to do it did not tell them exactly what they had to do
