Chapter 1: Witch of OctoberPart 1

"Ufufu--. Hey, darling. Its okay to come closer you know? Here"

"No………. Listen here, Miku."

"What is it--? Ah, oh yeah. I found a delicious Italian shop just recently. Do you have plans this evening? Let's go together if it is okay with you."

"Ah, no, I have to make dinner for Tohka and the rest……….."

"I see---, then let's go together with Tohka-chan and the rest. I am not a narrow-minded woman you know? Of course it is my treat, so do not worry."

"No, That's why, Miku……………"

Looking towards the girl who was pushing her body onto his while making an innocent smile, Itsuka Shidou made a troubled face.

Having bluish-purple glamorous hair like silk threads and smooth skin that had never missed maintenance. She was without a doubt a beautiful girl.

This girl called Izayoi Miku, was one year older than Shidou in terms of school grades but, unlike normal seniors, he was currently looking at a child-like speech pattern.

But even so, her body side was properly growing and since her voluptuous bust were being pushed at Shidou each time she moved, he had no idea what to do. Greasy sweats were popping out around Shidou's face while he had no other choice not to look at her in the eyes.

Nonetheless, Miku's innocent approach wasn't the only thing right now that was making him rigid.

"……………………."

*Stare--* such a sight was entangling Shidou's whole body.

……..Yes. Shidou's sister Itsuka Kotori was, sitting right in front of Shidou and Miku.

She was a characteristic girl with her hair tied into two sides with a black ribbon, round eyes that look like an acorn, and Chupa Chups being held in her mouth. Right now she was having her crimson jacket riding on her shoulders while resting her chin on one hand and gazing at Shidou and Miku's one-sided flirting in a bad mood.

Right now Shidou and the rest were currently inside a room in the airship <fraxinus>.</fraxinus>

<fraxinus>It was a dim space as if it was trying to squeeze out the lighting intentionally. The chairs Shidou and Miku were sitting on were placed in the center, and long tables were lined up around their surroundings. It had the aspect of a nerve-wracking interview hall or maybe a courthouse…………. Well, Miku looked like she didn't really mind though.</fraxinus>

<fraxinus>When Miku said that with a face that showed no bad intentions, Kotori grinded her teeth and slammed the table.</fraxinus>

<fraxinus>"That. Is. Why!! I am talking about information gathering! Didn't you say [I don't want to if I am not together with darling] so we specially allowed you to sit together with him!"</fraxinus>

<fraxinus>"Aah, now that you mention it, that's right."</fraxinus>

<fraxinus>*ahaha* Miku laughed and looked back at Kotori. But, her hand was still entangling Shidou's arm.</fraxinus>

<fraxinus>*Haa* Kotori made a big sigh before, flipping through the document placed near her hands.</fraxinus>

<fraxinus>"………………..then, I will be moving to the questions."</fraxinus>

<fraxinus>"Okay okay, with pleasure---go ahead."</fraxinus>

<fraxinus>Miku said in a relaxed tone. Kotori spilled out one more sigh before continuing her words.</fraxinus>

<fraxinus>"Regarding about your ability, your angel, I have a lot of things I want to ask but…………. I'll bring them back later for now. First off, the thing I have to confirm no matter what is-------"</fraxinus>

<fraxinus>After saying that, Kotori pointed her fingers at Miku.</fraxinus>

<fraxinus>"-------The existence that made you a Spirit."</fraxinus>

<fraxinus>The moment when Kotori said that, Miku's slacken cheeks twitched.</fraxinus>

<fraxinus>"You aren't a genuine Spirit, but originally a human------there is no mistake there right?"</fraxinus>

<fraxinus>Hearing Kotori words, Miku raised her eyebrows a little and made a painful expression. And somehow, Shidou felt that her breathing was getting wilder.</fraxinus>

<fraxinus>For an instant, he thought………. there were various circumstances on why she couldn't answer Kotori's question but, he immediately thought back.</fraxinus>

<fraxinus>The time when Miku became a Spirit. That was when Miku was disappointed in humans and felt despair to the world. Most likely she might be hesitating to put the events that happened during that time in her mouth.</fraxinus>

<fraxinus>"Are you okay, Miku? If it is tough for you, you could rest first before-----"</fraxinus>

<fraxinus>When Shidou said that, Miku swung her head sideways.</fraxinus>

<fraxinus>"I have darling. Including everything in the past, I decided to move forward."</fraxinus>

<fraxinus>After Shidou made a gentle pat on her back as if to push her, Miku made a nod.</fraxinus>

<fraxinus>"…………..yes. That is correct. A few months before now……….I was betrayed by everyone. I lost my voice in a psychogenesis-type aphonia and in front of me who had lost all hope to live-------[God] appeared."</fraxinus>

<fraxinus>After Miku said that, he felt Kotori's sight turned slightly sharper. Shidou also slightly brought his eyebrows together.</fraxinus>

<fraxinus>But Miku, in a manner of not noticing Kotori and Shidou's state, continued talking.</fraxinus>

<fraxinus>"[Hey, do you want power? Do you want a power big enough to change the world?]. [God] said that to me, and brought out a shining violet gem-like object to me. And then, when I extended my hands to receive it, that gem entered my body as if it was melting………. And in the next instant, I obtained a devilish [Voice] which can make anyone do as I say—"</fraxinus>

<fraxinus>Kotori groaned in a difficult face, and made the rod of the Chupa Chups stand up in her mouth.</fraxinus>

<fraxinus>"Please tell me everything as much as possible regarding that [God] or whatever."</fraxinus>

<fraxinus>"Even if you say, everything…………."</fraxinus>

<fraxinus>In a bind, Miku made her eyebrows look like a 八 kanji[8A 1].</fraxinus>

<fraxinus>"I somehow felt it was mysterious. It's true that it was there but, I recognized its image with noises placed on it. It's true I heard the voice, but even though I understood the content, I have completely no idea what kind of voice it was.---------Somehow, I feel its existence itself has a mosaic placed on it…………."</fraxinus>

<fraxinus>Kotori made a small sigh while saying that. Nonetheless, she didn't look that much disappointed. Most likely, she probably somewhat predicted Miku's reaction.</fraxinus>

<fraxinus>"Then, I am changing the question. After gaining the Spirit powers, has there been a time when you get attacked by destructive impulses or have your ego corroded away?"</fraxinus>

<fraxinus>"Destructive impulse…………..you say. No, there isn't any occasion of that happening that comes to mind………."</fraxinus>

<fraxinus>Kotori distorted her eyebrows while writing something in the documents near her hands.</fraxinus>

<fraxinus>"Kotori, that's……….."</fraxinus>

<fraxinus>When Shidou said that, Kotori [Yes] showed consent.</fraxinus>

<fraxinus>"I think, maybe the same case that happened with us occurred with Miku too.---------but, I wonder why. Maybe the nature is different from the type of Reiryoku, or maybe the problem is with the individual's aptitude………… or maybe,
