A second person's voice sounded in the building without doors or windows.
The surrounding electronic walls extend with sci-fi-like textures, and the chaotic light is arranged in dark tones, highlighting a depressing feeling.
With the word "disgust" engraved in his heart, the boy in sunglasses wearing a plaid shirt raised his head and looked at his 'employer'.
"Why stop me?"
The double agent, Tsuchimikado Motoharu, directly threw away the reporting part, and his tone was quite unkind.
He could have played a buffering role in the fight for "The Index of Forbidden Books" to avoid the excessive intersection of "science" and "magic".
But now, Tsuchimikado can only watch as the situation becomes increasingly difficult to control.
This is all because.
"You clearly know the special nature of this matter, but you still allow the people of "Mebius" to come into contact with the Puritan magicians as "superpowers", and you don't even let me participate. What do you mean?
"
There was clear distrust in Tsuchimikado's eyes.
In his opinion, Aleister's approach of 'boosting the waves' was sending a very dangerous signal.
"What are you worried about? As far as the current situation is concerned, there are no signs of conflict between them."
The hanging "human" said unmoved.
"Stop pretending to be stupid!"
Tsuchimikado waved his hand vigorously to vent his dissatisfaction.
"Deliberately throwing the handle to the magic side, don't you understand what this means?!"
the spy boy asked angrily.
Seeing that the peace that the world had finally maintained was cracked again, Tsuchimikado really couldn't accept this.
The appearance of a similar "Angel of Science" last time has slightly tilted the situation. Although the storm finally subsided strangely, this by no means means the end.
Out of professional instinct, he was sure that there were undercurrents from various forces surging in invisible places.
but.
There are 'people' who don't seem to care.
"Don't you think this is a good opportunity?"
Aleister, who did not answer Tsuchimikado directly, smiled coldly.
"We have only had a few indirect communications with that organization, so we lack the necessary information, right?"
Members, structure, purpose...these are all things that urgently need to be collected.
indeed.
This is a problem that Tsuchimikado cannot deny.
But will things really develop so smoothly?
Tsuchimikado's palms were wrapped in a chill.
For some reason, he had an almost conclusive idea.
Maybe...this is exactly what the other party expected.
Under the blocked sight, there was a dizzy feeling of collision of details.
So among them.
How much did the person named ‘Aleister’ notice?
Tsuchimikado sighed with his dry throat.
"If the situation continues like this, are you so sure that it won't escape your control?"
"Why should I take control?"
Aleister spoke slowly, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
"As long as the direction is adjusted appropriately, it will be enough to shorten the progress of the 'plan'."
really.
This is that guy's purpose.
To this day, Tsuchimikado has not figured out the full extent of Aleister's plan, but has only vaguely guessed that it is related to the "Imaginary Math District".
Of course, if he knew everything, maybe he wouldn't be standing here now.
"...Let the person with the space movement ability come in."
The spy boy, unable to change the current situation, turned around and said coldly.
"But, Aleister, don't say I didn't warn you."
"The 'hunter' this time...may not be you."
At the same time as he left these words, Tsuchimikado's figure also disappeared here along with the guide girl who came to transfer.
The closed space returned to calm again.
"……Um……"
"'Before you decide to die, find out the real enemy first'..."
Aleister repeated softly, smiling and thinking at the corners of his mouth.
That sentence... after all.
What do you want to tell me?
…
…
"...Hey hehe...um...I can't eat anymore..."
The pure white nun with her eyes closed rubbed the corner of the quilt with her lips, looking satisfied.
Looking at Index's happy expression in her sleep, Kanzaki gently stretched out his hand, but could not put it down.
What she originally thought was such a peaceful scene had long since become a luxury.
And the person who changed everything——
"I have already taken off the 'collar'."
Flanda, standing on the other side, announced the results witnessed by Kanzaki.
"Don't you want to wake her up? You probably have something else you want to say to her."
The blond girl tilted her head slightly and looked at the female saint who was retreating.
"..."
"...No need, let this child have a good rest."
Kanzaki sighed softly and finally chose to give up.
The change in stance may be due to the fact that her heart is not yet ready to face it.
In this regard, Frenda didn't say much.
A brief moment of tranquility caressed the edge of the bed, and while both parties were considering the next step, Kanzaki turned around seriously and spoke hesitantly.
"Sorry, this time it's us..."
The words stopped in mid-sentence, and the female saint's face was slightly twitchy.
Should I say it was wrong, impulsive, or something else.
In short, given their current status, it is probably difficult to find a suitable description to describe them.
Is it an enemy or a companion?
Kanzaki obviously possesses extraordinary fighting awareness and talent, but he tends to become stubborn when it comes to dealing with issues related to himself.
However.
"Make no mistake, I'm not helping her just for you."
The blonde girl waved her hand and continued.
"Instead of thinking about how to say thank you, it's better to think about how to reply to the church."
She blinked.
"..."
Was seen through.
Kanzaki silently looked away.
Just as she said.
From the very beginning, Kanzaki had no intention of being a 'betrayer'.
After all... neither Index's best friend nor the former female pope of the Amakusa Cross Cult can bear this price.
Not only that.
As a "saint" less than twenty years old in the world, Kanzaki also has the confidence to negotiate with the higher-ups.
She estimated that Steele basically had the same idea.
This made Kanzaki feel embarrassed and at the same time, he felt a sense of guilt.
Fortunately, Frenda didn't care about this.
"By the way, how many days are left before Index's memory is erased?"
The girl suddenly asked.
"Um, there are still...seven days."
Kanzaki gave a number and seemed to have thought of confirming the cause of this problem.
"A week...just right."
Frenda looked at the female saint.
"Since we still have time, how about staying in Academy City first? Anyway, you have to ensure Index's health."
She affirmed.
Kanzaki was slightly startled by this unexpected invitation, and then nodded with a complicated expression.
"As for whether you can get the child's approval in the future, it depends on your own performance."
After saying all this, the super-powered person stepped forward and turned around to leave without any regrets.
Only the magician standing guard in front of the bed stood there quietly, pursing his lips and whispering softly.
