Bab 48: Chapter 8 - The Perfect Man (3/3)
"Our bodies… Our cells and spirituality have raised our abilities to protect Fujita-kun."
"Wh-what are you talking about? Raised our abilities? We can't just get a power-up that easily."
"It is not that surprising. The Serpent's Eye affects every part of a woman. And if he is the true origin…"
"—————!"
They both looked his way.
"Adam?"
"The perfect man?"
"Hm? Wh-what are you two talking about?"
Mutsuki grew flustered when they both gave him a frightening look.
Ange seemed dumbfounded and Machina gave a look of realization.
"Damage…level: 71%. Move…ment: im…possible."
The metal scorpion could just barely stand on its remaining four legs, but it gave a staticky groan like a poorly-tuned radio.
"Securing…classified information…top priority. Self…destruct approved…positive."
"!"
"!"
Panic filled Ange's and – for the first time – Machina's face.
"The astral source is reversing. The core energy is being annihilated. The algorithm is shifting from libido to death drive… Oh, no."
"Self-destruct!? Mutuski! Get down!"
Ange charged forward, wearing flickering armor of golden flames.
She almost seemed to trample his collapsed form to shield him.
"Ange…!?"
At the same time, Machina stood in front of the both of them and spread her arms.
He saw both Ange and Machina trying to protect him.
And…
"…❤"
He saw the pouring rain grow a dark blood-red.
"Looks like my timing was perfect."
"Vvvv!?"
The Springloaded let out a groan of surprise with only five seconds until it self-destructed.
All of the raindrops on it became the dark red of blood and began wriggling about on their own, so its surprise was understandable.
Rock could not be cut by scissors, but it was weak to paper.
A moment later, the black liquid surrounded the Springloaded and tossed it into the sky. All of its groans were drowned out by the rain.
"…! …!!"
Mutsuki did not know if a machine could scream, but he knew this one had to be screaming if it could.
More and more rain wrapped around it, slipped into the gaps between parts, and easily took control. At the same time, it was smoothly carried up toward the source of the rain. It moved opposite of gravity.
The raindrops acted like a slide as they carried the Springloaded high into the sky.
The clock inside was accurate, so it happened precisely four seconds later.
The thick clouds producing the intense rainfall were blown to smithereens by a sphere of light.
Ange, Machina, and Mutsuki were dumbfounded.
"Eh heh heh❤"
Lucia gently landed.
"Told you I would be seeing you sooner this time."
Just like on the day Mutsuki had been invited into this bizarre new life, the demon boy winked with a glimpse of the setting sun in the background.
