Two more people were added to the room which was not too big.
Except for Fremia, who was confused about the current situation, the atmosphere among the several magicians was still not friendly.
But at the very least, even Steel restrained himself and left room for negotiation to Kanzaki.
Everything is for that child.
The flame mage took a deep breath.
on the other hand.
"I see."
With a clear smile, Flanda looked at the female saint who no longer hesitated and stood at the intersection.
"It seems that you have finally made up your mind."
She said meaningfully.
Neither of them agreed on this point.
"Heh... As I said before, if you want to have a physical examination, as long as the nun sister agrees, of course we won't have any objections."
The expressions of the magicians who heard this were slightly relaxed.
"but."
"I think even if you do this now, the outcome won't change much."
Flanda, who changed the subject and turned her attention to the pure white nun, spoke frankly.
"Since you claim to be her 'protector', you must have considered this situation when she first had problems. You may have even tried similar solutions more than once."
The truth that was said made Kanzaki and Steele's expressions darken again.
"Then, what should we do..."
The female saint who gritted her teeth unconsciously revealed her true feelings.
His clenched fists were so weak at the moment.
After finally deciding to stay with her again, the two of them had no clue and could only repeat the previous process as if they were grasping at the last straw.
Just like Flanda said, they checked it over and over again.
However.
Without exception, the result is the same.
——Nothing was found.
This is one of the reasons why they finally despaired and fell completely into the lies of the church.
Bringing up old things now is nothing more than a last-ditch effort after waking up.
only.
(It is a great improvement that such a rigid brain can make such a change.)
Flanda thought about it.
And one more thing.
(That guy Aleister, he should have gotten the news a long time ago.)
Not only was the double agent Mr. Tsuchimikado's report, but from the very beginning, the actions of this group of people were not hidden from his 'eyes'.
The combination of the Index of Forbidden Books and the Saint, as well as the participation of "Mebius", that man would not miss it no matter what.
Until now, there has been no obvious movement, and most of them are calculating and adjusting something.
Flanda was convinced.
(…If you’re still waiting and watching…let me add more ‘fire’.)
The superpower who made up his mind came to the center of the room and raised his hand slightly.
"It's very simple."
She also gave her own answer.
"Some things may be difficult for you, but for me..."
Flanders tilted her head, her expression calm.
“I still have a lot of ‘experience’ in the inspection and removal of surgical techniques.”
"Is that okay? Index."
The mysterious blond girl asked the nun for her opinion.
The latter didn't hesitate much and quickly nodded seriously.
If possible, she also wants to find out all the truth.
So.
everything's ready.
There was a 'pop' sound, and someone gently snapped his fingers.
It was just an ordinary action, but everyone present who could sense the magic knew that something had changed somewhere.
What did she do?
Kanzaki and Steele were confused.
The next second, they saw the result.
"……Eh?"
The body that suddenly became light made Index scream in surprise, and everyone's attention focused on her again.
Two magic circles that she had never seen before slowly crossed over the top of her head and the soles of her feet, closing towards the center.
No explanation is needed to understand that this must be the handiwork of that girl.
Kanzaki and Stiyl held their breaths. Although they were worried, they replaced the urge to speak out with vigilance.
The magicians did not dare to move their eyes away at all, and the waiting time was like a year.
Eyes, nose, mouth...calves, knees, waist and abdomen.
Not long after, it became clear that the magic array below had completed its task, but the magic array above...
But it stopped at the neck and kept circling.
While several people were guessing, a strange black symbol gradually emerged and became clearer.
"——!"
"That is?!"
The hearts of the female saint and the flame magician were beating violently.
"That's right."
Flanda, who was observing closely, lowered her head and narrowed her eyes.
"The person who specially set up the 'defense system' in a place like this and put the 'collar' on her..."
"What a bad taste."
…
…
There is a time difference of nearly nine hours between the island country in the far east and the foggy city in the west.
A busy day should usher in new life, but some people still cannot close their eyes.
"Is there anything worthy of sudden contact at this time? Over there, it should be two o'clock in the morning."
The owner of the windowless building and the chairman of Academy City looked at the screen that suddenly lit up and said with a calm expression.
Upon hearing the inquiry, an obviously panicked tone came from the other side of the tilted perspective.
"Eh?! Has it been connected yet? Well, please be patient. This kind of scientific equipment is really difficult to control."
"..."
After a period of weird fussing, the screen was rearranged and the person requesting the connection appeared.
In the center of the cathedral, the supreme bishop of the English Puritan Church adjusted his clothes and tried his best to restore his dignified posture.
"I apologize for the trouble late at night."
Laura maintained her smile without embarrassment and used nondescript language as always.
"It doesn't matter, it's office hours in Academy City now."
Aleister tried his best to ignore the other party's grammatical expressions.
"How could you be so diligent in official duties?"
"Haha, as someone who holds a high position, he should set an example first. I will accept these words as a compliment."
The two "human beings" were chatting quietly. In fact, this was not even a test.
"But staying up late is indeed a woman's natural enemy, so I'll get to the point without being polite."
Laura's expression instantly became helpless and embarrassed.
"I think you should also have received the news. There are a few disobedient children who are lost in your place. Can you be accommodating?"
"You mean, those magicians from the church?"
Aleister's answer made Laura nod.
"Yes, he is a magician from the 'Church'."
The greatest bishop said emphatically.
Because of some reasons.
She knew that the person on the other side could understand what she meant.
Then, Laura seemed to think of something again, and spoke supplementaryly along the topic.
"By the way, can I ask a question?"
"Please say."
The woman who received the approval showed a dangerous curve in her mouth.
"Have you heard of..."
"'Mebius', this organization?"
Although it is a question, it is in Laura's heart.
