Satowa You’re getting carried away again I really am gonna fry you
Whoa whoa whoa No violence
And Ange had the upper hand against malicious Lucia
Hot Hey don’t get mad Your anger is enough to burn a demon like me
Shut up I won’t reduce you to ashes cause the humans wouldn’t like that but I will give you one hell of a burn
What is it Ibekusa Don’t interf-
I promise I don’t hate you Here I’ll prove itnh
Ah wait don’t kiss meah
Angel beat demon demon beat human and human beat angel
Even with the fighting over that dynamic remained in place
Hm What are you smiling about Mutsuki
Oh Heh heh Nothing really It’s just
The boy looked to Ange and Machina who had stopped kissing and to Lucia
I’m so glad I have all three of you
He felt like he had found something in this imperfect world
The power of Adam was impressive indeed After a few more rounds Ange and the other two were down for the count but Mutsuki felt like he could keep going
According to Miss A and the others his growth as Adam would continue until he was an adult And sure enough the Adam within him was growing even with the Lilith business complete He could sense it clearly Someone new might show up to get at his Serpent’s Eye or him as Adam He was also fully relying on FeTUS for dealing with the rivalry He doubted he would be able to live in peace for long
But he did not feel worried
He rubbed the heads of the three people sleeping around him
He felt bad for relying on them for so much but he also knew he did not have to worry when they were handling it
So he at least wanted to avoid being someone who brought discord to them
That was the only thing on his mind at the moment
Except that is for the one regret he had failed to resolve
He slipped out of bed and left the room without waking them
He was thirsty so he went to the kitchen and filled a cup with water
Then he heard a sound from over by the fridge
He turned around and did not see anyone there but he had recognized the sound
Micha
That was her sound Whenever she went to the fridge her weight would make exactly that sound He had heard it countless times while living with her for the past several months
Because she would often try to sneak things from that fridge
Ah ha ha Caught me huh
That was exactly who emerged from behind the fridge As expected she held several cans of beer
She had sided with Lilith and set him up but he made no attempt to wake the others He did not even seem cautious
You came
To get these Heaven is nice and all but the drink selection could use some work
She pressed one of the condensation-covered cans against her cheek with a look of bliss
She had apparently broken heaven’s house arrest command for some beer That was so like her the boy actually laughed
She apparently had nothing to say to him because she gave him a wink as if to say I’ll be going and she walked toward the window
They had not met since the previous unpleasantness and it would be a lot harder for them to meet in the future but she apparently really had only come here for the beer She always had been that kind of carefree woman But then she opened the window and the moonlight shined in
When they emerged onto the balcony she noticed something on the boy’s moonlit face and came to a stop
She had not said anything herself but when she cleverly noticed his thoughts written on his face she took time to address it
Micha really had not changed at all
Heh heh Did you want me to apologize for setting you and Ange up
N-no Because I think I understand why you did that
He was not trying to attack her
She had said before that adults had multiple reasons for the things they did
She had apparently been working with Lilith from the beginning but she had not taken the lead there When Lilith had approached she had taken the most efficient method of protecting the boy she was meant to protect It just so happened that meant having him reborn as the perfect one He also understood why she had conspired with Lilith and stimulated the Adam within him
Lilith was not the only one who had wanted a reunion with Avalon
The only thing that bothered him was why she had somewhat forcibly taken his virginity and pressured him into a physical relationship a few times after that
That had been part of the plan with Lilith to hasten the awakening of Adam but had she been at all motivated by the simple desire to sleep with him
He could not exactly ask her that and he knew she would only answer such a question by insisting she had been fully motivated by that simple desire which would only be a way to dodge giving a serious answer Hey Micha
There was something else he wanted to ask
He had asked Miss A this as well when he was at FeTUS but she had not answered
He felt like it was wrong to even ask or wonder about this but he felt like Micha would answer him
Did I do the right thing
He leaned on the balcony railing and looked down
He could so many lights down there It looked like a sea of lightsor like that pool full of glowing seeds
Someone in all that light is probably crying right now
