Chapter 1 - Blue-Burned Sky (5/5)

He knew being here was dangerous, but his body refused to move.

The boy's face drew even closer, but he could not escape.

"You're just my type❤ Heh heh. I think I would've fallen for you even if you weren't the chosen one."

"The chosen-…? Nmh!"

He tried to ask about that phrase, but something made his mind go blank.

Reddish lips reminiscent of a blooming rose bud were pressed against his own.

The boy's lips shined like glistening sweets as they covered the entirety of Mutsuki's own lips.

(H…Huh?)

Mutsuki was utterly confused when he felt something wet around his lips. The mysterious boy named Lucia used that opportunity to squeeze his lips shut.

"Hee hee❤"

His beautiful looks grew sweetly flushed and he let out a warm breath.

The boy's bewitching, sweet, and stickily moist breath scorched Mutsuki's lungs and robbed him all strength.

After being left motionless, the boy devoured, rubbed, and pecked at his defenseless lips.

(What…is this? What is he doing to me? …Nn, my tongue.)

Mutsuki could do nothing to stop it. He did not quite know what was happening yet. He only felt a pleasantly soft sensation pressing at his mouth sometimes fast and sometimes slow. The aroma of theheated breaths was certainly not unpleasant, but…

(Isn't he…a boy?)

Only after the boy's small sticky tongue split Mutsuki's lips and began groping about his mouth did Mutsuki come back to his senses.

"Waaaaahhh!"

It had taken him a while, but he finally moved back. His back hit the dried fountain as he put some distance between them.

"Wh-why? What? What are you…?"

What are you doing? Who are you? Why did you kiss me? That was my first time.

Mutsuki had so many things flying through his mind he was not sure what to say first, so his mouth only flapped wordlessly.

"Heh heh heh heh heh. Thanks for that❤"

Lucia pressed his knees together and fidgeted with a delighted and charmed smile on his face.

Mutsuki nearly found him cuter than any girl he had ever seen, so he lost his chance to get angry. He could only swallow his complaints. He had a habit of swallowing when he closed his mouth and he only realized afterwards that he had swallowed Lucia's saliva as well.

The happy-looking boy held his hands to his cheeks.

"You're better than I ever imagined, Mutsuki-kun. I never thought a kiss would be enough to make me feel like this. I was trying to make you my slave, but I was the one that fell for you♪"

He moved his thin, pointed chin as if giving someone instructions, and…

"Wah!?"

Mutsuki had been sitting with his back to the wall but his hips were forced up.

It was that blood from before. The black slime-like liquid had stained all of his clothing and it now pulled him upwards on the boy's command.

"Now, let's start by awakening the proof that you're the chosen one. Let's awaken the world's most impure and inescapable power that can drag all women down into corruption! Let's awaken the Serpent's Eye!"

"The Serpent's…? …!? Eh…!"

The liquid had complete control. And as Mutsuki trembled in fear of that unexplainable magic trick, the next trick hit him.

"Ah…ah…ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!?"

Ever since the Porsche had begun to move, none of the mysterious phenomena had harmed anything but his lips, but the flames of pain had finally been ignited.

An indescribable feeling welled up inside his head as if the inside of his skull were on fire or sewage was being pumped into his temples. His clothes were pinned to the wall, so he could not even crouch down as he squirmed and tried to control the core of the sensation.

That core was his right eye which throbbed and burned to a painful degree.

"Ahhhhhh! What is this!? What is this!? What is thiiiiiissssss!?"

"Don't be afraid. The throbbing of the nerves is temporary. You're breaking free of your frail humanity and setting foot in the realm of god. You'll get used to it soon enough."

Lucia smiled at Mutsuki's temporary suffering in a mixture of worry and delight.

"It itches when you peel off a scab, but then you get new, healed skin. It hurts to peel back the foreskin that first time, but then you receive the most wonderful pleasure. Babies are born amid great pain, but then they get to enter this sweet, hellish world. …Now!"

What did Fujita Mutsuki do?

"Look at me with that eye."

He looked up toward the whisper that would destroy the harmony of his everyday life.

"Ahhh… Gh… Kh…. It hurts… It hurts!"

"Don't worry. That heat is proof that you are the chosen one."

He desperately held and rubbed his right eye. He even wanted to pluck out the eyeball.

"Look at me. Look at me with your Serpent's Eye. Violate me with that devilish gaze of such beautiful corruption."

"…Uuh…"

Called by Lucia and with tears pouring from his eyes, he hesitantly opened the swollen eyelid.

And…

"Ah…"

A mass of metal dropped down and split Lucia's ecstatic form in two, starting from the top of the head.

When the boy's two halves collapsed to the left and right, Mutsuki saw her standing behind him.

Despite the pain from before, his right eye gave him a shockingly clear view of the world.

"Fujita Mutsuki."

He saw long hair colored a burning crimson. A blue ribbon fluttered in the wind.

"You are the legendary boy chosen by the demonic eye."

Mutsuki had anything but a large build, but this girl looked slender even to him. He doubted she was even 140 centimeters tall.

She had the large round eyes of a small animal. The narrow bridge of her nose rose to an unremarkable height. Her lips were thin, but their glossy pink color stood out on her snowy white skin.

She looked young enough already, but she had a round baby face that stood at odds with the dignified angle of her eyebrows. She was more than just short. The shoulders exposed by her white running shirt and the legs contained in her spats were so delicate they seemed they would break if someone grabbed her too roughly. The straight hair that was long enough to cover her butt further emphasized her slender build.

That girl easily lifted a sheet of metal that had to be twice her height and she rested it on her shoulder. Mutsuki was almost beginning to think all of this was just a dream, but he was still shocked by what he saw.

That sheet of metal decorated with black wrought iron was a sword.

She held a sword larger than she was.

"Who are you?"

"Ange. I was sent here to protect you."

Her clear, ocean blue eyes looked directly into his burning right eye.

That was the beginning.

"I am an angel."

Meeting this girl was enough to smash Fujita Mutsuki's harmony to pieces.

"I am Ange of the Double Flame."
