Chapter 75

(Listen! (Thank you very much for the reward from 'Dancing with Maple'!))

Like a newborn animal, the angel girl's eyelids trembled lightly, and with an incredibly slow speed, her eyes struggled to open.

Indigo eyes appeared beneath her eyelids, but they were as calm as an ancient well, and the autumn-water-like pupils made her look somewhat stiff.

After opening her eyes, she looked up and saw the first scene that greeted her. Thus, she saw it.

She saw the speechless, excited, and expectant expression, the sleeping Lirin's smiling face, and the stunned and blank expressions of Daisy and Misaki...

Her gaze swept over them, and then, she fixed her eyes on the speechless one.

The wings on her back instantly spread out, and a few feathers were flung away by the movement of her wings, gently falling above her, forming a scene of extreme beauty.

Ikaros flapped her wings twice, and her feet began to leave the ground. She floated in mid-air and flew to the speechless one in two swift movements, startling the three who had yet to react.

Almost as soon as she landed, Ikaros's rosy, alluring lips opened, and a gentle, stiff voice followed.

"Engraving! Begin!"

As Ikaros's words echoed, a formula-like light flashed in her eyes.

Then, nothing happened...

"..." Speechless

"..." Daisy

"..." Misaki

"..." Ikaros

Silence fell in the hall. The three, who had been on high alert, expecting Ikaros to do something, looked around and found nothing had happened. They turned to look at Ikaros, speechless.

After a brief moment of silence, under the gaze of the three, Ikaros, whose expression had been as calm as an ancient well since her appearance, now showed signs of panic in her eyes, though her expression remained unchanged.

Raising her hand to touch her neck, Ikaros directly felt her skin. The collar that had been around her neck since she gained consciousness was now gone.

Ikaros touched her smooth neck, and her expression remained unchanged, but the panic in her eyes grew more and more.

"Engraving... collar... gone... gone..." Ikaros murmured, a rare hint of emotion in her voice.

After sorting through the information that suddenly appeared in her memory, Ikaros realized that she was no longer in her original world...

However, this was not a big deal to her. For Ikaros, it simply meant she had a new master, a new owner to serve and obey.

As for where she was, it was not something she needed to care about. According to her programming, as long as she met the one who summoned her, put on the collar, gave the master the engraving, and handed over everything to the master, she would follow all the master's commands.

All of this seemed so natural to her.

But now, she could not help but panic.

The collar was gone, the engraving could not be completed, and she could not have a master!

All of this appeared so suddenly in her underdeveloped emotional system that she did not know what to do.

Without a master, she could not receive orders. Without orders, she did not know what to do. Not knowing what to do, what would she...

Though the girl's expression remained as calm as an ancient well, the endless confusion in her eyes was not lost on the speechless one. Looking at this exceptionally beautiful girl, the excitement in his heart gradually faded, replaced by boundless pity.

As an artificial angel, Ikaros was created as a weapon.

From the moment she was born, everything about her revolved around her master. All her actions were based on the master's commands. When the master ordered her to fight, she spent her entire life in battle.

She was not like Nymph or Astraia; Ikaros's emotional system was too underdeveloped.

An underdeveloped emotional system did not mean she had no emotions. On the contrary, in the extremely simple mind of Ikaros, her emotions, once expressed, would be the purest and truest!

Unfortunately, she lacked the ability to make independent judgments, meaning she could not think or judge for herself!

The disappearance of the collar left her, who had always relied on programmed actions, at a loss, leading to her confusion.

Like a helpless little girl...

Amidst the unknown expressions of Daisy and Misaki, the speechless one smiled slightly, reached out, and placed his hand on Ikaros's head.

In her confusion, Ikaros felt the sudden warmth on her head and looked up at the smiling speechless one.

Gently stroking Ikaros's beautiful pink hair and looking into her water-like beautiful eyes, the speechless one's voice was incredibly gentle at that moment.

"Ikaros..." Moving his hand to Ikaros's neck, touching it bit by bit, the speechless one smiled and said, "Hey, Ikaros, do you know why your collar disappeared?"

Shaking her head, Ikaros stared at the speechless one, motionless.

"That's because our lives have already merged, and we can no longer be separated. This bond is a thousand, ten thousand times stronger than the one established by that collar. Therefore, the system removed it because, for us who are life-melded, it is no longer necessary!"

Pulling his hand back, the speechless one patted Ikaros's head again and smiled. "Everything about you is already mine! So, there's no need to be confused!"

Ikaros looked at the speechless one, her eyes gradually brightening, and the confusion in her eyes disappeared in the strange warmth that welled up in her heart.

Ikaros's eyes returned to their calm state, and she looked at the speechless one. "Yes..."

Her wings retracted into a small pair of palm-sized wings, and Ikaros said softly to the speechless one, "I am the Strategic Universal Angel α, Ikaros, nice to meet you..."

"My master!"

Tilting her head and smiling, the speechless one waved his hand and said, "Ikaros, I am the speechless one. Please take care of me from now on!"

"Yes, master..." The cat-ear-like decorations on the sides of her head twitched slightly as Ikaros said in a dazed voice.

The speechless one nodded, about to say something, when two delicate hands simultaneously patted his shoulders.

Turning his head in confusion, the scene before him almost made him wet his pants.

Behind him, the president and Misaka Mikoto stood there, each extending a hand to rest on his shoulders.

Daisy and Misaki looked at him with twitching mouths, their yellow-green and brown eyes emitting dangerous signals that made the speechless one lose his composure...

"Are you not going to explain?" The president clenched her other free hand, ready to materialize her white cherry blossom sword at any moment.

The speechless one's shoulders tensed, but he was tightly restrained by the two women. He could only force a laugh. "Explain... what..."

"Explain what!" Misaki, whose hand was on the speechless one's shoulder, made a gesture to pinch him hard and forced a smile. "Don't you think you should explain why she..."

Pointing at Ikaros, Misaki shouted loudly, "Calls you master!"

"This... this... there's a reason! An irresistible reason!" The speechless one's heart pounded uncontrollably, and he forced an ugly smile, stammering.

"An irresistible reason? Why do I feel like you're taking it so naturally?" Daisy sneered. "Or did you already know this would happen before you summoned her?"

Cherry blossoms danced in Daisy's palm, and a crystal sword materialized.

Her bangs fluttered, and blue-white sparks flashed on Misaki's forehead, making a 'crackling' sound.

Cold sweat streamed down the speechless one's forehead...
