this is mature
According to Genesis, the world was created from discord.Human history is a history of discord. The first woman was a product of the very first man's discord with heaven and the devil and he made her his wife. The serpent's deception created discord with nature, cursing mankind with the suffering of work and childbirth. Their discord with life burdened them with death and their discord with god ultimately banished them from paradise.One of the man and woman's children killed his brother, splitting their life between civilization and farming. Finally, mankind attempted to construct a tower to reach heaven, but they angered their lord and were given the discord of separate cultures.In all of history, conflict has never once vanished from the world of man. No one lives their lives without sin. When a man is born, he must cull millions of his brothers.According to Genesis, the world of man will never overcome that discord and obtain harmony.But...If some form of harmony does in fact exist...
"Now!"
The waning light of twilight shined down."Look at me with that eye."Fujita Mutsuki's harmony was shattered by that voice.He struggled and raised his head when he heard that whispering voice that had no place in his normal life.Despite being told to look, his right eye would not open. He removed his hand from the eye, but it only throbbed with so much heat he thought it would explode.It was the same itching feeling as when one watched too much TV, swam in a pool, or went outside during allergy season. It felt like the retina had been rubbed too harshly. He felt a heat like something else entirely had replaced his eye. Simply exposing it to the air hurt.All he could do was hold his hand to it with all his strength.The itching was growing by the second and he could not resist rubbing at it with his wrist. He gave in to the pleasure of distracting himself, however slightly, from the hot throbbing."Ahhh... Gh... Kh.... It hurts... It hurts!""Don't worry. That heat is proof that you are the chosen one."He heard some heavy, damp breathing and a boy peered at his face. And the boy did so with a shockingly sensual look in his eyes."Look at me. Look at me with your Serpent's Eye. Violate me with that devilish gaze of such beautiful corruption.""...Uuh..."Tears spilled from Mutsuki's left eye as he obeyed and removed his hand from his right eye. He hesitantly raised his puffy eyelid like a child afraid of some eye drops.And..."Ah..."The first thing he saw with his opened Serpent's Eye was an angel swinging down a giant sword.The boy was sliced in two with his face still twisted in a look of ecstasy. The girl casually kicked the corpse aside, brushed back her hair, and looked to Mutsuki.Mutsuki gasped not at the sight of someone being killed but at the sight of the girl in his no longer throbbing right eye."Fujita Mutsuki. You are the legendary boy chosen by the demonic eye.""Who are you?""Ange. I was sent here to protect you. I am an angel"Her clear, ocean blue eyes looked directly into his burning right eye."I am Ange of the Double Flame."That day was a perfectly normal day that began in a perfectly normal fashion."Daaad, mooom, nee-chaaan, Chiakiii, Mutsumi-chaaan! It's morning!"With parents, an older sister, and two younger sisters, the Fujita family was relatively large and it was always Mutsuki's job to get everything ready in the morning. He prepared breakfast and everything else too.He could not rely on any of the others, so he had no real choice."Daaad, mooom."He started from the very back of the second story bedrooms lined up alongside his own. The first was his parents' bedroom. He knew knocking was not enough to wake them, so he opened the door, shook the bed, and called loudly.Finally, two hands wearing identical rings poked out from the bunched-up sheets and waved to tell him they were up.They were both adults, so they would not go back to sleep. It was time to move on."Mutsumi-chaaan."The room next to his parents' belonged to the youngest daughter, Mutsumi. She was still in kindergarten, so there was no real need to wake her this early, but he had to check on something.He approached the bed buried under stuffed animals and pulled away the blanket."Nn... Onii-tama... Eh heh heh. Good morning.""Good morning. I see you didn't do it today. Good job."He praised her and rubbed the head resting on the drool-covered Lazy Bear body pillow she loved so much. Before, she had wet the bed once every three nights, but that rate had thankfully dropped quite a bit recently.The next was the most formidable foe."Nee-chaaan."She was in her twenties, but her room looked about the same as Mutsumi, the kindergartner. He stepped into the room decorated with fancy wallpaper and anime posters and approached another bed buried under stuffed animals.The person sleeping there was a kindergartner in an adult's body."Nee-chan! Wake up, nee-chan. It's morning. It's! Morning!"He shouted quite loudly and shook her by the shoulders.Despite the rough treatment, his sister continued to doze for about thirty seconds, but she finally opened her eyes."Good morning, Mu-chan.""Good morning. Now get up.""Good morning, Mu-chan.""Yes, good morning. You need to get going quickly in the morning. Breakfast is ready.""Good morning, Mu-chan.""Are you saying that in your sleep? C'mon, let's go."Realizing the normal methods were useless here, he forcibly picked her up and dragged her from the bed. She was 170 centimeters tall, so she had more than ten centimeters on Mutsuki. He lifted her onto his back and left the room. Throwing her into the bathroom would be better than making a fuss here.That left only one other person."Chiakiii? Are you up ye-....ah.""...Ah."As soon as he opened the door, he realized he should not have. Unlike the others, this sister was only a year younger than him. She had told him to always knock even when waking her in the morning.Her pajama bottoms were down around her ankles and he was greeted by a cute butt wrapped in the cotton panties of an elementary school girl. It seemed his little sister was already up."Pervert!"She threw a pillow that hit him square in the face."S-sorry!"Mutsuki frantically closed the door. He had completely forgotten that Chiaki had recently decided to act more mature and thus tended to get up on her own in the mornings.He was unaccustomed to these situations, so his face was beet red. Even if she was his sister, seeing a girl near his age in a state of undress had been too much for him."Heh heh heh heh♡ You sure are perverted, Mu-chan.""Why do you only perk up when things like that happen?"He threw his grinning older sister from his back.Fujita Mutsuki's mornings were always like this. Afterwards, he placed breakfast on the table while his family made their way down. All six members of the family had an apron, but Mutsuki's pale green one was the most stained.He cooked six fried eggs and twelve strips of bacon. He prepared a large plate of salad and dressing and passed out rice bowls as each person came down."Here, Mutsumi-chan. Make sure to eat your broccoli.""Uuh... I hate broccoli.""Don't be picky or you'll never grow up big and strong. C'mon, eat up.""Uuh... Munch, munch."After preparing his own food, he made sure his youngest sister ate hers."Ahh♡ You can't beat a morning with your cute little brother looking after you.""It doesn't really matter, but can't you at least get your own hair ready?""It feels great to have you do it, Mu-chan. The warm morning sun, delicious food, and a little brother's care. This is true happiness.""Honestly...""Zzz...""Don't you dare go back to sleep!"He combed his older sister's hair.He also helped his mother check through the bathroom because she could not find her mascara and placed a compress on his father's aching back. All in all, it was a busy morning.The Fujita family was quite low key.The father, mother, and all three sisters were as far from morning people as possible. Mutsuki had for some reason not inherited those low key genes, so he took care of all the morning jobs on his own.It was a family's job to cover for each other's weaknesses.He was used to busily running around from the moment he got up.This scene was what Mutsuki considered a "normal morning".School was normal as well."Morning, Mutsuki.""Morning, Fujita-kun."His normal route was a straight shot to school once he passed the train station and a few classmates called out to him on that last stretch. He greeted them all with a smile.When he happened across a classmate on the way to school, they almost always greeted him.Fujita Mutsuki's grades were above average and his athletics were below average. He looked well-behaved and had a well-behaved personality to match, so he did not stand out much but was considered easy to get along with.He naturally had plenty of friends."Hey, Mutsuki! Early again, I see.""Agh! Ow, ow. Morning, Sakae."A boy jumped at him from behind. The boy landed on his back and placed his arm around his shoulders similar to a headlock.Tomono Sakae was a classmate with an eternally cheerful personality and a charming face just short of being traditionally "good looking". He had been Mutsuki's childhood friend since elementary school.While Mutsuki was well-behaved, Sakae was the eternal optimist. That difference may have actually helped them get along because neither of them would hesitate to call each other best friends."Damn it's hot these days. Why can't it be summer break yet?""I know what you mean. ...And get off me, Sakae."His friend's expression of affection was invading his personal space a little too much."Oh, hey, hey, Mutsuki. Do you have some time later? I'm the class rep, so the teacher told me to come up with the class seating chart. But you know how I hate details.""That I do. I'll help you out...but you really need to get off of me.""You will!? Khhhhh, that's what friends are for! Everyone needs a childhood friend who really gets them. When I'm president of the world one day, I'm making a law! The childhood friend law! If everyone had a childhood friend, we'd definitely have world piece, don't you think!?""Good luck. And can you please get off of me? It's so hot today..."His friend was invading his personal space and speaking so loudly first thing in the morning, but Mutsuki smiled bitterly and put up with it because it was more annoying than unpleasant. This tendency to go with the flow was likely one of the reasons he was considered easy to get along with. And..."Hi, Fujita-kun!""Gefh."Someone tackled him from the other side.It was a powerful blow, but Mutsuki somehow managed to hold his ground since it was all transferred into Sakae behind him. Sakae was sent flying, though."Good morning, Kurikara-chan.""Hiii."The girl gave an innocent smile.The short hair signifying her high energy was roughly tied back by two bows and her white teeth made her beaming smile look all the more cheerful. She was a little chubby which gave her some charming feminine curves. Her name was Kurikara Saya and she was another of Mutsuki's classmates.She got along well with Sakae as they were the class's two biggest talkers and that meant she spoke with Mutsuki a lot, too. She was more than an acquaintance but not quite a friend."Ow... What was that for, Kurikara!?"Sakae recovered after being knocked away.He did not particularly like getting that close, so he did not place his arm around Mutsuki's shoulder again. Mutsuki gave Saya a look to tell her she saved him. The white teeth she showed off to say "you're welcome" were very cute.After that, the three of them continued on to school."Honestly! I can't believe this girl would violently attack THE Tomono Sakae, the man who stands at the center of the world!""Heh heh. You'll never be president of the world if you can't respond to an emergency. You'll just end up blown away at your own inauguration.""What!? How can you say that about THE Tomono Sakae, the man with the world's best crisis management techniques!? I'm definitely making a law about you! All chubby girls will be shot on sight!""Chub... I can't believe you! Did you hear that, Fujita-kun!? This boy just stepped on a landmine!""Ah ha ha."Mutsuki could only laugh bitterly at those two's energy-filled morning.This was the beginning of an enjoyable day at school.The school buildings finally came into view at the top of a hill separating it from the residential area. The large tower was the most noticeable feature.Mutsuki and the other two attended Megutono Academy, a private school well known for its size and history. It had a tradition of freedom, it was well-known for the stylish uniforms for both boys and girls, and it contained an elementary, middle, and high school.The school grounds covered almost the entire top of the hill and it contained more than twenty buildings, but falling birthrates had left less than half of it in use. The size of the campus made the trip between classrooms a pain, producing plenty of complaints from the students who joined at the middle or high school stage.The most well-known feature was the clock tower in the center of the campus. The giant stone hexagonal pillar was positioned at the back of the courtyard which was known as a place of rest. It was taller than any of the four-story school buildings and the entire academy was on a hill, so one could see almost the entire town from the top of the clock tower.Its primary roles were to tell the townspeople the time and..."Ohh, ohh. Look at 'em run. Keep up the good work."Sakae cackled in delight as he looked down from their classroom window.He was watching a wave of boys with navy neckties and girls with red ribbons hurrying into the school's front gate.At 8:30 in the morning every Monday through Friday, the hill was covered by the ringing of the clock tower's bell so the students would know the school's gate was being closed.While it almost never happened to Mutsuki, Sakae was often pursued by that bell, so he enjoyed watching the students gasping for breath as they rushed to school just in time. As a side note, Saya had joined a group of girls once they entered the classroom.And..."Oh. She's as amazing as always.""Eh? Oh..."A single student drew the eye among the chaos at the gate.Sakae had spotted a girl walking calmly through the gate as everyone else rushed through.She casually passed by the educational guidance committee member who was already moving to close the gate. Only two seconds after she passed him by, the bell finished ringing. Despite the close call, she was not running or even walking quickly. Sakae applauded her splendid performance.But Mutsuki's focus on her was due to more than mere surprise."See ya."After commiserating with the students who had arrived after the gate closed, Sakae decided homeroom was about to start, smacked Mutsuki's back, and moved over to his own seat by the hallway.Mutsuki sat in his own seat at the very back of the second row from the window."Morning, Ibekusa. You've still got that last second arrival trick down pat."(Here she is.)Mutsuki tensed up a bit when he heard Sakae's voice by the hallway.A girl responded to her classmate's cheerful voice with a slight nod of greeting."You sure cut it close day in and day out. You could always get going three minutes earlier, so why do you wait until the last second? Playing a one-man game of chicken?""Negative.""I see. That's fine, but as the class rep, I've gotta tell you not to be late."
