“Anyway.”
Despite all the running away, Micha brought him to an apartment building in the same town.
It was about a half hour walk from his home. He had been forced to hold on for dear life for over an hour, but it seemed that was mostly because she had wanted to go touring. While trying to hide the few tears he had shed, he followed Micha inside.
“It’s pretty messy since I’ve only just moved in, but try to ignore it, okay?”
“Okay…”
Mutsuki lived in a house, so entering a high-rise apartment building made him nervous. He was taken to the top floor and then to one of the rooms overlooking the town at a frightening height.
“You were right about it being messy.”
That was his first impression.
He removed his shoes in the entranceway which was filled with so many boots and sandals it would have been difficult to find a matching set. He was impressed by the automatic lights and automatically locking door, but he was more focused on finding anywhere to step in a hallway filled with laundry and flyers. Luckily, Micha paved the way by kicking stuff out of the way.
“Are you good at housework, Mutsuki-kun? Y’know, like cleaning.”
“Cleaning? I do it a lot, if that’s what you mean.”
“Greatd”
“?”
They moved further inside.
Needless to say, the rest was a disaster too. The dining and living rooms were almost fifty square meters in all, but there was still nowhere to step.
Cardboard boxes waiting to be unpacked were piled up, yet beer cans were stacked in a pyramid on the table like building blocks. There were far too many empty cans for her to have really just moved in, but there were far too many boxes still needing unpacking for her to have actually lived here longer.
“…”
He had not even known her for two whole hours, but he felt he had a pretty good grasp on her character.
And…
“Hm?”
He noticed something on the couch.
They were clothes far too small for Micha to wear. They looked like they might be for a child, but they had caught his eye because they were neatly folded up amid the otherwise messy room.
He naturally approached them and found a shirt and spats he had seen somewhere before.
“Where did she get off to? Hey, are you back!?”
Micha kicked more things out of her way and searched for someone by opening all the doors leading from the living room.
And…
“Ange! Are you here nor not?”
“Yes, yes. I’m here. Just a second!”
Someone replied from the door in the dining room next to the one leading to the kitchen.
“Oh, you’re in there? Were you taking a shower?”
Steam escaped the door, but Micha did not hesitate to walk over and open it.
“…What?”
She did indeed reveal a girl who had apparently been taking a shower.
The girl had just started tying back the red hair that was long enough to cover her butt. She had her hand around the wet hair and a rubber hairband in her mouth.
“…”
She slowly turned toward Mutsuki.
Mutsuki looked straight at her.
Except for the towel draped over her neck, she was completely naked. The girl’s defenseless body was on full display.
She stood there in her birthday suit with nothing hidden: her armpits, her collarbones, the indentation of her navel, her surprisingly feminine chest given her otherwise childish build, and…“down there”.
It was a beautiful body. Her unblemished skin was pure white. Her long arms and legs were slender. Her waist was so skinny it seemed to have been carved down and her smooth hips were the exact opposite. Her bust bulged out only a modest amount. Other than her short height, she had the slender build of a model.
He knew it was rude, but Mutsuki gulped, sending his still-thin Adam’s apple up and down.
The girl froze in place as well.
“I’ll introduce her properly this time. This is Ange. She works with me.”
The hairband fell from her mouth.
“Gnyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!”
“Wah, wah, wah! I-I’m sorry!!”
She screamed so loudly it had to have reached the first floor and Mutsuki frantically turned around.
But he moved too quickly. His quick about-face caused him to slip on a magazine lying on the floor and to trip quite spectacularly.
His head hit the couch and everything on it poured down onto him.
“Nfh.”
Something caught on his face as it fell.
It was the shirt and spats from before. These were the clothes the girl had worn by the station. It could not have been long since she had removed them because he could still feel some faint body heat in them.
And once he removed the spats, something round spilled out from them.
“…?”
It was somewhat damp and the rubber in it had pulled it into a ball.
He spread it out to find a triangular object that smelled of sweat.
They were a pair of pink panties.
“From now on, we’ll be protecting you from any and all danger.”
Beyond the panties, he could see Ange charging at him after putting on the bath towel.
“What! Do you think! You’re doing! With my panties! You pervert!”
“Gfh! Gyah! I’m…I’m sorry!”
“So don’t worry, Mutsuki-kun. Ange’s power is top class even for an angel. So whether FeTUS or the demons attack, she’ll be protecting you 24/7.”
Ange climbed on top of the boy she was meant to protect and started beating him, Mutsuki desperately tried to protect himself with the hands holding the panties, and Micha smiled as she spoke.
“You pervert pervert pervert pervert pervert pervert pervert pervert pervert pervert pervert!!”
“Ow! Ahhhh, I’m sorryyyyy! Micha-san! Help me, Micha-san!”
“Good, goodd I’m glad to see you’re already friends.”
She continued to smile.
“Now, after cleaning up real quick, let’s have a welcoming party for our new roommate.”
Ange’s fist finally stopped.
“What?”
“Room…mate?”
This was news to Mutsuki as well.
“Ehhhhhhhh!? I have to live with him!?”
Mutsuki was slow to react thanks to the beating he had taken, so Ange alone stood up and shouted in protest.
“Of course. You wouldn’t be much of a bodyguard otherwise.”
“I refuse to live with a pervert like-…”
Mutsuki had apparently stepped on the edge of the towel during their scuffle, so when the girl tried to argue with Micha, the only thing hiding her bare skin fell away.
“~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!”
The top class angel girl’s adorable butt was right in front of his eyes.
And a moment later, a low kick filled with reliable strength reached his jaw.
Chapter 3 – Demonic Eye of Corruption
As midnight rolled around, Mutsuki was lying in bed inside the room prepared for him. He had turned out the lights, but he was having trouble getting to sleep.
It may have been the new bed and it may have been how strangely clear his mind was.
Only about eight hours had passed since school had let out, but so very much had happened. He was exhausted as if he had redone his entire life two or three times and his body refused to relax.
He had received more of an explanation, so he now had a general understanding of the situation.
It was sounding like he would need to give up on a portion of his life. Just as Micha had said, he would have to live here. For today, he had called home to say he was sleeping over at a friend’s house.
“…”
He rolled over and looked across the room that was empty save for the bed. He had turned off the lights, but he had not shut the curtains. The moon was bright tonight, so perhaps that was why he could not sleep.
He had wanted to be somewhere bright, so he had not felt like closing them.
Whenever he shut his eyes, the exciting events of the day played back in his mind’s eye.
He was wearing the shirt of his school uniform and boxers since he did not have any pajamas with him, but the memories were enough to soak the shirt with sweat.
