It was clear that they had a hostile relationship before, but now they sit down calmly.
Looking at the people gathered quietly in the living room, although she didn't understand what was going on, this was an unusual space that even Fremia could feel.
The side effects of removing the "collar" did not last long.
so……
"I'm fine now."
Index, who regained her energy, tilted her head and spoke calmly.
However, the words he was talking to himself seemed more like he was speaking to someone specifically.
"I mean, I'm fine already?"
After repeating her words emphatically, the nun's expression gradually became troubled.
Facing Index, who looked distantly, like a small animal annoyed that its territory was intruded without permission, Kanzaki and Steele could only try their best to resolve the confusion in their hearts with silence.
The female pope leaned her back against the wall, lowered her eyebrows and sighed.
The flame mage raised his head slightly, missing the smell of tobacco, and looked like he didn't hear it.
Some impressions may not be relieved for a while.
Realizing that the 'kind reminder' just now didn't work, Index puffed up her cheeks and looked at the owner of the room and her friend for help.
"Well... although I know you have strong objections to them, I think it's better to keep them now."
Yuuki scratched her head and said a few words of help.
It will become like this. In addition to being deceived by a bad woman, it is more or less the reason why two people brought it upon themselves.
But as far as the current situation is concerned, after all, nothing is wrong.
"I think so too. Compared to the uncertain future, at least they have proven that they are on your side, right?"
After taking the words, Flanda's reasons were more solid.
The 'situation' is getting more and more complicated, and as expected, it will soon become more troublesome.
She doesn't hate Index, but the next Academy City will probably not be a suitable place to visit.
Flanda thought secretly.
Since there are ready-made nannies here, it is natural to make them take responsibility.
"You also need to be prepared for the church's methods... I don't think you need me to remind you."
The superpower glanced at the magicians who were meditating.
The first layer of insurance is just that. If something goes wrong with the second trump card, the people at the top cannot stand by and watch.
In fact, ever since Index was rescued, the magical transmissions from Kanzaki and Stiyl have been continuously highlighting their presence, but they have been ignored by the two of them.
In other words, they didn't think about how to respond.
Whether to report as usual or to vent dissatisfaction and question loudly, we can only take one step at a time.
The magicians looked at each other as if they had reached an agreement.
"Don't worry, we have no intention of relying on anyone else."
The bad priest turned around and faced the entrance hall.
It’s not yet time to feel completely reassured.
There are so many problems that need to be dealt with.
"There is still a week left before the originally scheduled time. Once we confirm that your body has completely returned to normal, we will leave naturally."
Now, let us stay with you for a while.
Perhaps Kanzaki and Steele will never say this sentence in their lifetime.
Neither of them looked back.
The sound of the door closing sounded quietly.
...Did I do something bad?
Index shrank back, her face conveying a feeling that she didn't quite understand.
(Basically, if you look at it from the perspective of a friend, Sister Index just went too far!)
The girl with a sweet tooth who wanted to talk a lot was stared at by Yuuki, and she instinctively swallowed her opinion.
That means telling her not to interrupt.
(...Meow Meow? Why would I...)
Immediately, Fremia opened her eyes wide, seemingly falling into new confusion.
"Everyone will have various difficulties, don't think too much."
The blond girl who stood up from her seat stretched her shoulders and said comfortingly.
Now that her "friend's" affairs have been arranged, it's time for her to start handling her own work.
"Hey, sister, do you want to go out?"
Seeing Flanda packing her luggage, Fremia asked strangely.
"Yes, we made an appointment a few days ago. That guy is a busy man, so it's not easy to meet him."
"?"
Without explaining in detail, Flanders waved her hand.
"For dinner, I'll meet your sister Yuuki, and so will Index."
Anyway, the taste is the same.
She said quietly, deep in her heart.
…
…
Don't understand.
(Why……)
unhappy.
(I want……)
dissatisfied.
(Protect……)
not agree.
(A guy like that...)
The dark-haired girl in the hidden state gritted her teeth and glared fiercely at another girl in casual clothes who was singing on the street.
The former is the captain of the "Black Crow Unit", a special activity unit that maintains order within Academy City.
Satora Sekhwentsia.
The latter's name is Narugo Alisa, a "Level 0 (Incompetent Person)" who is extremely ordinary in all aspects except that she often goes to "Kirigaoka Women's Academy" for physical check-ups.
Due to personal issues, Shateora's current feelings towards Alyssa are below freezing.
Their identities are so different, or rather, they should not have crossed paths.
The reason is that they are all Shateora's employers——
"...It's me~"
A flirtatious greeting came from the open communicator.
If possible, Satora didn't want to respond.
The girl in tights sighed.
"What do you want?"
Opposite is her current boss, and she still has the necessary professional qualities.
"Ah la ah la, how's it going? Is your new job going well?"
It's obviously a very young voice, but it looks very mature.
"...There is nothing going well or not, the goal is just a kid who talks about dreams."
Shateora's comments are quite stinging.
"Do you hate her?"
the other party asked.
"Yes."
Affirm without hesitation.
It is this kind of thing that Shateora dislikes the most.
"Haha, although I believe in your ability very much, please don't bring your personal emotions into your work."
A female voice mixed with noise reminded her.
"Our partners value her very much."
she added.
Partner.
Satora frowned, suppressing the discomfort in her mind, and thought about the object that represented this noun.
"...Do you think there are really no problems with the people who oversee the council?"
As the captain of a special force, Shateora certainly has her own sources of intelligence.
For the girl who came to her door, she always felt that things were not that simple.
"certainly."
The replying voice paused inexplicably, and continued with emotions that Satora could not understand.
"The other party has shown sincerity that I can't refuse~"
and.
She is not here to represent the General Council.
Accompanied by classical music, the figure in the darkness moved his lips without informing his subordinates.
