People are forbidden by magic, just become mercenaries

After clearing the food in front of him, Sigurd leaned on his seat contentedly.

"Of course, it cannot be ruled out that that cowardly guy really dropped chemical weapons in the subway line to ensure his absolute safety."

"It's outrageous in every sense of the word."

"This also reflects from the side that the darkness of Academy City is completely comparable, and even surpasses the magical side in some respects."

Pack up the plate in front of Sigurd and send it to the kitchen.

Although there is a professional maid lady, in fact, the two of them still use the dishwasher made in Academy City to wash the tableware on weekdays.

Put the plate that was eaten by Sigurd with the bread and the remaining black pepper sauce under the plate into the dishwasher. This new type of dishwasher will start by itself as long as you put something in it, and After finishing, it will be sent directly to the side storage cabinet after drying, which is quite convenient.

"It's rare to be clean. Where did that one-eyed witch go?"

"I went to the arcade to break the record. Who knows why she is suddenly interested in this kind of thing? Speaking of which, where is Index?"

"It seems that I went out to play with Ji Shen Qiusha. I heard from Index that Oreos made a special 'Celtic Cross' for that child according to the instructions of the 'Forbidden Book Catalogue'. It seems that it is called 'Vampire Killer' ' has been sealed. Would you like some coffee?"

"Of course. Don't you treat yourself too badly by not drinking a cup of coffee in your long-lost leisure time?"

He took out the high-quality coffee beans from the cabinet, bent over and took out the equipment for grinding coffee from the cabinet in the lower right corner of the kitchen.

Although Academy City has an integrated automatic coffee machine, even if the flow is exactly the same, and even the subtle parameters of each arrangement can be manually modified, Sylvia still doesn't like to use that thing.

However, Sigurd absolutely supports this point. This is different from such insignificant things as washing dishes. There is absolutely an essential difference between coffee made by machinery and manual work. Sigurd and Silvia are both have their own persistence.

"?"

There are magical fluctuations, but they are not enemies.

Sylvia, the maid who was grinding coffee with her back to Sigurd, sighed.

"So, there is a job again? It seems that this time it is not a problem on the scientific side?"

"Tsk, it happens to be such a rare rest time."

He knocked on the table in displeasure, because the entire floor was constituted as a "ceremony field", so for Sigurd, everything on this floor could be regarded as a spiritual outfit.

【Oh ha~ This is a special newsletter, is Mr. Sigurd here? 】

In the vase on the table, the half-full water vibrated at a certain frequency following the sound.

"Say something."

I don't know if it was because of the rather unpleasant tone, but the person on the other end of the communication seemed to be silent for a moment.

[Then, let me just confirm.Hearing my voice, you should know who I am, right? 】

"Tsuchimikado Motoharu, if you play Riddler again, I will fly to England to smash your sunglasses, beat you into a panda and throw it in front of Maika, appearing like a dog chewing mud, and smash your 'good brother' The image is completely destroyed."

[Too vicious.But if it is such a bad threat, then it can basically be confirmed. 】

Sigurd and Silvia looked at each other. Although Tsuchimikado Motoharu was not serious at ordinary times, his tone did not seem to be joking at this time.

"Confirm what? I'm still alive?"

[Before I answer this question, can you tell me that the one in front of you...is Miss "Sylvia"? 】

Sigurd and Silvia looked at each other, Silvia looked at her hands with a puzzled expression, while Sigurd frowned, as if realizing something.

Sigurd didn't reply to Motoharu Tsuchimikado's communication, so he got up and walked to the French window.

Because Sigurd's apartment was specially selected and the location was particularly well-lit, through this floor-to-ceiling window, he could see the streets several blocks away.

"I think I know what that guy Tsuchimikado means."

Sylvia, who didn't know why, also came over and looked in the direction Sigurd was looking at.

"Mercenaries, granny in hot pants and Master Mohigan are not the characteristics of Academy City, are they?"

"what."

"If so, then I think I'm aware of the problem too..."

Chapter 360 Five: Angel Falls Mitsukai Otoshi

Looking at one by one, what I saw was the grandfather who was regarded as a glamorous news anchor, and a female high school student with dyed hair and black face makeup who was speaking as the president of a certain country in the name of war and righteousness.

And the strangest picture is the news program broadcast on location, it can only be described as a mess.

The announcer, who was reading the press release, looked like either a carpenter or a truck driver.

Behind him are kindergarten children holding the steering wheel of a big bus, an old woman in a miniskirt playing with her mobile phone, and the prime minister who was often seen on TV playing the guitar by the side of the road.

The scene of the news broadcast seemed to be at the entrance of a station crowded with commuters, and there were no fewer than 200 pedestrians coming and going behind the announcer.

But for those who could see Sigurd and Silvia, everything was wrong.

[It seems that you also understand the current situation.So, if there is nothing wrong with my ears, Sigurd is still "Sigurd", and Miss Sylvia is still Miss "Sylvia", right? 】

"It's a mouthful, but I understand your concerns. In a sense, this floor is isolated from the 'human world'. In other words, Sylvia and I are not affected by this thing."

"No, but what is this? A spell that replaces the appearance of other people?"

The person on the other end of the communication seems to have changed, this time it was Laura's voice.

【um~】

The girl intentionally elongated her ending sound, but she didn't speak directly, as if she was trying to make the other party understand who she was.

"This smell of mother and child foxes, well, I know it's you. If you have something to say, tell me, anyway, you who are in the depths of St. George's Cathedral in normal years must not be affected by this thing, right?"

[It’s too hurtful, mercenary.You have to be more gentle with ladies, if you can treat me as gentle as Miss Sylvia or Valkyrie, I will be very happy, okay? 】

"I can give you ten times the pain he felt when I beat Stiyl."

【Hmm~ Let's get back to the topic~】

The supreme bishop who was trying to make a cute sound of "cute and pass the level" seemed to be finally planning to talk about something serious, so Sigurd resisted the idea of ​​complaining, and waited patiently for Laura to give an answer that was similar to what was in his mind. In theory, it should be the same information.

[Actually, our side was also a little caught off guard by what happened suddenly.Now the only thing we can say is "figure it out" is that "role replacement" is not the "main purpose" of this event, and "role replacement" is just a "side effect". 】

"To put it simply, this incident is a 'man-made incident', right? Isn't it a situation like 'Bermuda Triangle' or 'High Tianyuan' caused by a coincidence of 'power of the world'?"

Sigurd felt like he was missing something, but he could sense where the problem was.

He knew what was happening now, but he felt like he had forgotten where the "source" was.

It is strange that Sigurd can say "I remember this incident" very confidently, but he can't think of who is the "behind the scenes" of this incident.

If you think about it from Sigurd's point of view, if you want to trigger a magic formula that can affect the world, then the opponent's strength can definitely be called "unfathomable".

Regardless of other things, if you give the opponent enough preparations, you will definitely be able to fight Sigurd, and a super magician who will not lose the wind in a short time.

But Sigurd vaguely felt that this judgment was wrong, because there shouldn't be such a guy appearing at this point in time.

Laura on the other end of the communication saw that Sigurd did not continue to speak, so she began to explain her situation.

[Now the whole world is affected by a certain magic and produces a certain phenomenon.There is no record of this phenomenon even in the "event book" of the British Museum, so the detailed formula and structure of magic are still a mystery.According to the characteristics of the phenomenon, we temporarily named this magic "Angel Fall". 】

"The Kabbalah Tree of Life..."

"Hey, mercenary. Doesn't that sound good?"

Sigurd is the successor of the "Golden" lineage, and the magicians of the "Golden" lineage are more familiar with and understand the uniqueness and value of the "Kabbalistic Tree of Life" than any other system.

As for Sylvia, she learned the method of using "angel power" from Sigurd, and combined her own particularity as a saint with the "sigil" that uses the name of an angel.

Both of them could understand that there was a rather bad taste in what Laura wanted to express.

"The so-called tree of life is a table of status and class. Dividing the souls of gods, angels, and human beings into ten pyramid-shaped levels, the easy-to-understand understanding is a picture drawn according to 'theocracy'."

[To put it bluntly, the meaning of this picture is "the domain of human beings is only from here to here, and then it is the domain of gods, which must not be violated." 】

In fact, no special explanation is needed. The three people who are communicating at the scene are also the leading "magic experts" in the world.

But it seems that because the three of them understand better than anyone else, they realize the seriousness of the problem.

[The number of humans and angels has already been determined, so under normal circumstances, humans can never be upgraded to angels.Conversely, angels are not reduced to human beings.because......】

"Every area is fully booked."

Laura gave a soft "hmm", and then continued to follow Sigurd's words.

[But the magic of "Angel Fall" is just like its literal meaning, it can forcibly degrade an angel who was originally in the sky into a human.And the human realm is like a cup full of water. If there is another drop of "angel" at this time... what will happen to the water in the cup? 】

There is no need to answer at all, or the "mutation" that happened in the world at this time is the best answer.

"This metaphor is inappropriate. Because after the 'something' comes down 'above', the extra person will not 'overflow' the world. He will not go 'below', but go to 'above'. "

The so-called "up" and "down" refer to "heaven" and "hell".

According to Laura, now that an "angel" has fallen from the "heaven", it means that a person from the "human world" has gone up to the "heaven", replacing the original "angel".

To do this step is not just a simple thing like "squeeze out".

"Human" and "angel" must have a certain degree of "compatibility", otherwise it will not be "this angel" who comes down, and "this person" will not go up.

[That's what it means.But the next question is that even if I don't say it, you should understand it, right?As the successor of "Golden Dawn", now...]

"When the positions are completely messed up, all the spells using the 'angel power' will be confused and unable to be used. It's really troublesome. If you can normally perceive the abnormal flow of the 'angel power', then you should be able to Think of locking up prisoners easily."

[Actually, the "terminal" on the side of Canterbury Cathedral seems to have recorded several abnormal "angel power" position fluctuations by coincidence. 】

Sigurd smiled, as if thinking of something, Sigurd said in a tone of "I really lost to you".

"It's around Academy City, right?"

[Steyer and Kanzaki Kaori have already set off for Academy City using the "Knight Faction" air transport spiritual outfit, and it is estimated that they will arrive in about ten minutes.But it seems that you have thought of what possibility? 】

"No, it's not a possibility. But I can probably guess why the abnormal 'angel' fell near Academy City."

【why? 】

Sigurd didn't answer right away, but stood up and drank the coffee that Sylvia had just made in one gulp.

After taking the clothes that Sylvia handed over, this windbreaker with "rune characters" used for cooling will not give people a very hot feeling, but it is a "mobile air conditioner".

"The difference in concentration. It is because of the concentration difference of the 'abnormal power' that the 'angel' was attracted here. It did not come down voluntarily, nor did it fall here voluntarily. Although it is very troublesome, the fact that cannot be refuted is 'That thing' really helped out this time."

Chapter 360 Six: The Chaotic Kamijou Touma

Today is simply the biggest and worst disaster after Kamijou Touma was attacked by the red-haired priest, and the consecutive tragedies of almost failing the summer make-up exam.
