Everyone who had their Fruit of Knowledge taken had lost all memory of it happening and the world simply saw it as everyone zoning out for a few hours Since all memory of it had been lost only those who had been monitoring the time closely for their job had even noticed something was amiss FeTUS’s primary job over the past 10 days had been to lock down that minority of people and alter their data or memories as needed Some people had a lingering feeling of unexplained happiness but that had faded with time and people had stopped talking about it by now Since everyone’s safety had been guaranteed throughout no one had been lost Those who had been on their deathbeds had apparently managed to pass away feeling fulfilled but they were barely even a rounding error in the total numbers Online there were theories that some country had tested a psychological weapon that a solar flare had been used to hack the brains of the earthlings or magnetism had messed with relativity to alter the flow of time but those were all being treated as absurd urban legends at this point Japanese TV was entirely ignoring the strange phenomenon to instead focus on how Deputy Prime Minister ookura’s ship had been carried to a certain academy and destroyed the clock tower there Investigation of the ship had uncovered suspicions of him misappropriating tax money so the news was full of adults in suits speaking into microphones with concerned looks on their faces Most everyone online and on TV was enjoying watching the scandal play out
So in the end Miss A really did seem to be the only thing that had changed
Feeling like it had all been meaningless Mutsuki took a sip of the tea which had gone cold by now
Are you unhappy with this result
The witch seemed to see right through him so he smiled bitterly
I am even though I would only have more regrets if things had changed more
But with nothing changed he could not quite figure out what he had even done at all
Was what he had done wrong
He still had the memories of his time mixed with Lilith but that had been a different person who seemed to make decisions based on fairly different criteria Anything had been possible for him when faced with intelligent life and he had understood that on a deep level and based his actions on that fact It had all felt like a sort of arrogance Perhaps that was simply how a perfect being thought
Regardless that was different from how a human like Mutsuki thought Now that they had separated it seemed blatantly obvious to him that taking everyone’s human forms from them was messed up
But had it been the wrong thing to do
That he did not know
It seemed wrong based on human standards but what about nonhuman standards
He had thrown out a world where everyone was happy there was no discrimination or conflict all discord was gone and no one would be hurt
Had that really been the right thing to do
The Kurosaki facility had been destroyed but similar facilities apparently existed all over Japan and even more extreme slave facilities were said to exist around the world The people who enjoyed trampling on others would still be laughing while making toys out of the people who wanted to outwit everyone else He had chosen that world
Had that been the right thing to do
Does discord frighten you
He was taken aback by that sudden question
The witch did not repeat her question and instead tossed a large hard candy into her mouth Unable to ask her to repeat herself he simply sat there in confusion Until
Oh the test results are in
The entire conversation was cut short when the rabbit doll’s red eyes flashed as it received some kind of transmission
At the same time a door appeared on the grassy field
Ugh I’m so exhausted Oh there you are Mutsuki ♥
Lucia who was also being confined here walked in Although he might as well have been a guest since FeTUS lacked the ability to restrain him
He was in his female body today His brown skin was identical to that of Lucya the girl who had been Eve for Avalon Mutsuki had finally stopped dreaming about that Adam from millennia ago
Miss D aka Daima Makoto entered with him
He – or she – is indeed a demonized version of the previous Eve’s body The genetics and spiritual identifiers are identical
Can we us that
Miss D discussed something with Miss A
Mutsuki was not quite sure what this was about but Lucia had apparently been told He (she ) grinned while clinging to the boy Just like he always had
I’m willing to ‘help out’ right away so could we have some privacy Could we also have a bedyes one made from a pile of straw The kind that doesn’t prickle
The rabbit must have known what he meant because its eyes flashed and the grassy field hologram changed to the wheat field Mutsuki had dreamed of A straw bed was roughly laid out at the edge of the field To combat the rivalry we would like to complete the genetic spiral from your sperm and egg cells There is so much we can do once we have the genetic pattern
