Micha did not notice as she washed down her final complaint with some beer
After finishing off the can she pulled out a bottle of brandy being used for interior decoration
She apparently wanted to drink something stronger to match how much stress she was feeling so she decided to drink the brandy straight today She had apparently had an extremely unpleasant time
I was standing the whole time so my legs are exhaustedHey give me the usual
She lay face down with her glass of brandy and container of pork so the boy circled around to her feet
She sometimes asked him to gently massage and stretch her surprisingly muscular calves
She sipped at the brandy at first but as her eyes started melting from the younger boy’s loving massage she decided she did not need the drink and set the glass down
She had the body of a model so her legs were pretty too Mutsuki’s eyes were glued to the lines running from her well-developed thighs down to her slender ankles He also looked to her toenails that were glossy even without a pedicure She had worn her boots for a long time without socks on so the soles of her feet were sweaty
She had the perfect curves of a sculpture but the sweat made them seem much rawer
Oh come to think of it where’s Ange
She’s already asleepAt least I think she is She went to her room at about nine and I haven’t seen her since
He thought back to what had happened What had she been doing in the bathroom for so long
She had looked captivating when she had come out and a somehow alluring aroma had surrounded her
Nine is pretty early Did you get into another fight
Micha turned her enchanted face his way
I don’t know
That look was enough to get him to speak his mind If Ange was a born fighter then Micha may have had natural talent at getting others to open their hearts to her
Nothing really happened but for some reason she got really mad If I did something wrong I’d like to apologize but
Is that so
She’s been acting weird lately She gets mad at the drop of a hat Well she was like that before too but it feels a little different now
Were you too worried about that to get to sleep
Eh Wellmaybe Or that’s part of it at least
He left that last part vague because he could not exactly say he was suspicious of her colleague Rapha
Micha gave a depthless laugh as if she could see through it all
It may be about time
It’s nothing You don’t need to worry about Ange being so angryYou could say it’s because she’s entered adolescence
She buried her face in the cushion she was resting her chin on
It almost looked like she wanted to hide the look in her eyes
Have I ever told you how angels are made
You know angels are made from fire right
Yes That’s why Ange is so bad at swimming right
No that’s just her being a bad swimmerAnyway an angel’s body is composed of fire
Ange’s is mine is and Rapha’s is So what do you think forms our core
Your core
A human soul
She spoke so calmly that Mutsuki missed his timing to feel surprise His massaging hands came to a stop
With angels and demons existing he was willing to believe in something as occult as the human soul but he still tilted his head a little
Micha giggled and turned onto her side
Soul isn’t the perfect word for it though The spiritual foundation of a human is a fragment of the Fruit of Knowledge When a purifying light applies flesh to that foundation it becomes an angel To put it simply Ange and I were originally human You’ve read in manga how good people are reborn as angels when they die right It’s like that
The boy was dumbfounded so she continued with a smile But adding Although for us it doesn’t necessarily have to be a good person gave it the opposite impression
It’s only used as a component so we don’t have any of their memories If you take a screw from a car and use it to make a TV you can’t drive the TV around right Ange and I know nothing about our time as humans However Her smile remained motionless as if it were glued to her face
Even after being reborn the soul will remember any experience powerful enough to seep into the Fruit of Knowledge
She paused there Mutsuki did not quite understand what she was talking about but they both turned toward Ange’s room
Ange’s hatred of humans comes from an experience back then
Whathappened
You could sayshe wasn’t loved by her mother Don’t ask too much about it
He had grown up in a happy household so abuse was a term he had only seen on TV
Anyway her hatred of humans is on an instinctual level That’s why she’s been so irritated lately She’s been feeling an internal contradiction whenever she’s around you
When she summed it up it only confused the boy further What did it mean for Ange to get irritated when around him a human
Micha ended the conversation and sat up
If you don’t get to bed soon you really will have a hard time tomorrow
The alcohol must have kicked in because she was flushed around the eyes making her look shockingly sensual
You might have a little trouble sleeping with this thing so hard
