In the middle of the night, I found myself swept into an unexpected situation. Just when things were getting cozy with Nagisa, a ding from Momotalk shattered the moment.
If I were to ignore it, it was surprisingly few people who left the sound on. Most of the kids I frequently contacted, aside from Hina, Nagisa, and Haruna, had their notifications on silent.
So, after cautiously asking for Nagisa’s permission, I checked Momotalk and sent a reply. However, the message that flew in next from Takamachi Hoshino contained something I couldn’t overlook.
Apparently, the teacher who went to Abydos for the committee episode was preparing for an all-out war… How could I brush that off casually?
Thus, I lowered my head to Nagisa and said I would make a really important call for a moment, then dialed Hoshino. When I tried to step out of the room to talk, Nagisa subtly held me back, saying not to go.
The mix of jealousy and suspicion in her eyes… well, I couldn’t really say anything about it considering it was my own doing.
As I sat on the edge of the bed talking to Hoshino, at some point, Nagisa got up and quietly slipped behind me.
The air that brushed against my bare skin felt cool, but the warmth of Nagisa’s embrace from behind was anything but. Thankfully, it didn’t interfere with our conversation.
Nagisa’s hands behaved just right, and her lips stayed wandering around a relatively less sensitive spot.
But as our conversation started to stretch, Nagisa began giving me cues to wrap it up.
Her hands moved closer to more sensitive areas. It seemed that her patience was running thin as she lightly pressed her lips to my particularly sensitive spot.
Well, I thought that things might be winding down after the talk about the incident in Abydos, but then I unexpectedly brought up RABBIT Squad and ended up extending the conversation. It was only natural for Nagisa to give hints at that point.
Perhaps she was jealous of my mentioning our “bunny.” I understood it was merely a habit I couldn’t quite shake off, and she did too, but it wasn’t the best thing to say in this kind of situation.
So, I tried to calm Nagisa down and wrap up our chat, but then she surprisingly took my earlobe between her lips.
Startled, I couldn’t even remember what I said as I hung up quickly. As soon as the call was cut, Nagisa snatched the phone from my hands and turned it off, placing it on the table.
“23 minutes.”
“…”
“I put up with a lot. Really. This is not even our Autonomous District’s business.”
After whispering that in my ear, Nagisa pulled away and dove under the blanket. She turned her head away cutely and closed her eyes.
“Remember, it’s 23 minutes, Misono Mika.”
Her intent was crystal clear as she turned away from me, emphasizing the time. She wanted me to make up for the time she lost. That was the meaning behind it.
Slowly, I slipped into the blanket and lightly brushed her wings. I didn’t know whether it was a characteristic of angels or not, but when either Nana or Nagisa’s touch brushed against the wings, we felt various forms of stimulation.
“Ah…”
Emotionally, it goes without saying, but in our heated state, this act had a considerable sexual effect. This could very well be called affection.
I hugged Nagisa tightly from behind. Just two months ago, I hadn’t received such sensations beyond a few parts of her body, but now it felt crushed against her smooth back. The two buds, now exposed to the chilly air, radiated a ticklish pleasure.
“Uhh…”
“Mika, this time is solely for me…?”
“That’s unfair, Nagisa…”
My right hand traveled down Nagisa’s smooth abdomen. With the other hand, I took her hand and drew it close to my lips.
Gradually, I began kissing from the fingertips.
Peck. Peck. Peck.
“Ah, ahh…”
As a series of soft kisses continued, Nagisa let out breaths filled with delight. When I reached her ring finger, I planted a slightly deeper and longer kiss. She knew full well what that action implied.
“Isn’t it unfair… huh, isn’t it you who’s being unfair, Mika…?”
“Ahaha… I’m not sure what you mean. Hmm…”
With my fingers intertwined behind her, I buried my face in her shoulder. Enjoying the fragrant body wash scent, I began to leave red marks along her shoulder.
“Nagisa, how many minutes are left…?”
“…20 minutes.”
“You’re lying.”
Peck…
After leaving a clear mark in the most sensitive spot on Nagisa’s nape, I finally let her go. As I shifted my weight, only then did Nagisa turn her body. I caressed her cheek with my left hand, bringing my finger teasingly to my lips to show her the glistening residue.
“Hey, Nagisa…”
“…Yes?”
“This isn’t bad, but honestly, I think the times you take the initiative are the best.”
“…”
Could it be that everything named “first” was happening under Nagisa’s lead? It seems I had solidified my preferences in that direction.
“How many minutes do you think are left?”
“…Well, it seems like it just ended.”
I captured the fiery gaze of Nagisa, whose eyes had turned upside down.
“I love you, Nagisa.”
“…I love you more.”
“That’s not right. That can’t be…”
“Shh.”
In the end, as always, it was me who embraced Nagisa in the last moment, so I decided to simply enjoy the love she was giving.
The affection from the love-filled archangel is highly addictive. Once you’re drawn in, there’s no going back.
And not wanting to go back, that was another one of its peculiar traits.

The people of Abydos faced a certain dilemma.
Vina’s movement patterns were unknown. The committee knew nothing more than that she occasionally appeared while wandering the desert.
However, based on the recent changes, Ayane came up with a hypothesis.
“Noises… or vibrations. Either way, if we create a disturbance above a certain scale, the desert monster is likely to appear in response.”
“So, what you’re saying is… it will appear anyway, as long as there’s a city right next to it?”
Saki’s point was valid. No matter how many people had left, the noise from that city wouldn’t be ordinary. Especially with the train station running back and forth between the Abydos Autonomous District and outside.
“That may be the case, but… the desert itself isn’t exactly vast, and with the presence of trains, it’s said to frequently appear in that vicinity. Perhaps Saint Nephthys was able to re-enter the desert trolley business because acquiring Kaiser Corporation allowed them the firepower to chase that monster out from construction sites…”
“I think Ayane’s hypothesis holds merit. But to create that kind of disturbance…”
“Hee hee. End of the day, it’s definitely gonna be a flashy explosion.”
“…You’re already out since we’re talking about using tools that test firepower against a desert monster.”
“Tch. But if there’s no better method, then what’s wrong with this one?”
“No, we can’t. If we’re going to do something like that, we need to receive additional supplies from the main school first.”
“Ugh… Hmph…”
The moment Saki firmly stated her point, a strange spark flickered in Mohe’s eyes. Only Miya realized Mohe had been subtly leaving the group throughout the discussion.
“Um, um…”
“How about we just take a drive all the way to the desert? If we empty a canister there, maybe the monster will show up!”
“Are you suggesting to lure it like that? I agree for now.”
“I believe simply driving at full speed could attract the monster. I’m in favor of the lure operation too.”
“Hmm… The monster possesses long-range attack capabilities. The safety of the lure group can’t be guaranteed.”
As Shiroko pointed out, Miya and Saki recalled the footage they checked yesterday and began running simulations in their minds.
“A vehicle at full speed could certainly maneuver evasively.”
“I think so too.”
“Okay… in that case, I agree.”
As the consensus seemed to be leaning towards luring Vina, Miya raised her voice again.
“Um, um…!”
“Whatever the case, I can’t be sitting idle while taking a break from part-time jobs for this, so I’m in favor for now.”
“Wah~ It’s nice to see everyone doing well on their own. This mom might just die without regret.”
“Come on, the age difference isn’t that significant! So, is the leader in favor or against?!”
“Well, if I had to say… I guess I’d abstain~?”
“Ugh! What’s with this vague abstention? Be clear about it!”
With a majority in favor, eyes turned to the teacher who was exchanging messages with someone.
“…What do you think, teacher?”
“It seems like everyone is leaning towards executing the lure operation… if the safety of the lure team is guaranteed, I agree.”
Having listened closely, the teacher nodded in response to Miya’s question.
This came after confirming through the messenger that Mika had asked to meet with Saint Nephthys but was turned down.
And then…
“Excuse me!!!!!”
Finally, all eyes focused on Miya. Clutching her clothes tightly, Miya exploded, confirming she had drawn everyone’s gaze, she opened her tightly closed eyes and spoke the words she had long wanted to say.
“Mohe-chan left with a very dangerous look… Under normal circumstances, when Mohe-chan acts like this…”
“Ah.”
“It’s, it’s bad.”
Saki and Miya’s expressions shifted. The committee and the teacher, who didn’t know Mohe well, directed puzzled looks.
“What? What’s going on? Why are you suddenly looking like there’s about to be a major accident?”
“Well… it’s not so much a worry as it is knowing it’ll happen… Mohe-chan is the type to stubbornly do what she’s told not to…”
Only then did everyone recall what Mohe had said.
Her words about causing a ruckus with a flashy explosion suddenly flashed in everyone’s minds.
BOOM!!!!
An accident happened.
