Machina nodded and looked to Mutsuki for just a few seconds
She immediately looked away once he raised his head and started to leave the room
Ah I-Ibekusa wait
Thinking letting her leave now would make him an awful person he frantically called after her
But when she looked back his way he was unsure whether he should continue speaking or not
Um it’s pouring outside so let me call a taxi
I havean umbrella
An umbrella won’t help when it’s pouring this hard Um where do you live
He asked a perfectly harmless question
However that was enough for Ange to drop the tissue in her hand
First her eyes widened in surprise but then they sharpened
She grabbed Mutsuki by the back of the neck pulled him over and threw him onto the bed She then stood in front of the confused boy
You’re Ibekusa Machina right
Yes
How did you know about this place
She grabbed the pendant on the desk
The school was only given a fake address so how did you get here
Ange’s question was low and sharp Machina’s expression did not change but her skin visibly tensed for just a moment
That was enough to confirm Ange’s suspicions
It was that pin wasn’t it
Mutsuki’s mind had yet to catch up but the clear angel gave her conclusion and pulled the boy from the room
Lithography excellent
The living room had completely changed from the one he had lived in for three weeks
The TV audio system refrigerator and all of the electronics they had bought to fill out the room had vanished
The table sofa and other furniture had been crushed into rubble And in that empty living room
something stood atop the bisected sofa
Resuming capture of angelpositive
It almost looked like the previous spider but this mechanical soldier’s shell was even more offense-oriented Its joints creaked as it faced them
The belly was made from a series of joints below the head and chest The giant joint-legged animal even had a long needle attached to its tail This steel scorpion had devoured all of the mechanical devices in the living room and swept the furniture out of the way with its giant tail Finally Mutsuki understood That one remaining pin had become a Springloaded using the
machine-consuming power that could devour everything from a cellphone to a large truck
Beginning capture
The scorpion Springloaded leaped at them The girl shoved Mutsuki out of the way and used her large sword as a shield She fought the machine’s great weight with just one slender arm
Run away Mutsuki I’ll hold this thing back so you escape from that girl
He looked at Machina who had left the bedroom
Escape From Ibekusa Why
She’s with FeTUS She found this apartment using the beacon in that pin
Mutsuki faced her in stunned disbelief
Machina was as expressionless as ever
She was not at all surprised at the half-destroyed living room or the moving scorpion machine
With a sound that shook the entire apartment building the living room’s window exploded
Ange was thrown outside into the rain
Why you Corona
A thin film of blue flame instantly enveloped her The raindrops were large enough to see their droplet shape but they were vaporized as soon as they fell around her
She used that air pressure as footing and returned to the balcony but
Movement range excellent Anti-angel tools prepared Capture possible
Kwah
With eight legs identical to the spider’s the Springloaded clung to the outside wall and charged forward before she could balance herself The giant scorpion-like tail swung like a whip
Ange somehow managed to catch the attack on her sword but even with her great power she lacked body weight She was blown away
Kh
Equal or superior power confirmed Capture possible Capture possible
Shut up
The girl clung to the wall and swung her sword but the mechanical scorpion’s many legs gave it more chances to attack and a swing of its tail was enough to easily knock the girl away
Unlike the spider Springloaded this type kept pushing and pushing with its power
Ahh God you’re annoying
Ange are you okay
Mutsuki ran out onto the balcony and shouted her way
Ange and the machine used the apartment wall as footing as they clashed Even to an amateur it was obvious the girl was being pushed back
If you’re nothing but brute force I just have to fight smarter not harder Prominence – Loop
She split her giant sword in two and switched to her two-sword style
Blue flames blazed along the back of the swords At the same time the flames erupting from her back grew more intense The deep blue wings seemed to manifest as physical objects The raindrops around her were vaporized creating an explosive blast of heat that reached Mutsuki on the balcony Daahh
The weight did not hold her back as she ran forward She raced along the outer wall and charged toward the mass of machinery fast enough that Mutsuki could barely see her beyond the curtain of steam Once she was in range she rotated with her arms spread wide
The girl became a top that sliced through everything in the vicinity She even deflected the extended tail once she touched it and the Springloaded noticeably faltered
