Academy City's Puppet Master

Otherwise, he felt that he would be pissed off sooner or later.

However, although he didn't want to admit it, Index's behavior was a manifestation of the very close relationship between the two.

Even if this girl lacks common sense, can't do anything, has a huge appetite, and is an electrical idiot, no matter how she goes offline, she will cause all kinds of troubles for herself.Kamijou Touma has always forgiven her instinctively, willing to accommodate and take care of her like this.

The only explanation is my own experience before amnesia, right?She must have accumulated a deep bond with Index, and they are both very important to each other.

Kamijou Touma shook his head, amnesia is really a troublesome thing.I don't know what happened before, and the only neighbor who knows, Ling Xingye, seems to be a friend I met recently, so the information I can provide is limited.

Thanks to Index being an idiot, she has not seen the flaw until now.

However, this feeling still seemed to be deceiving her - Kamijou Touma always felt guilty.

"I don't know if there is a way to restore the memory..." While washing the dishes, Kamijou Touma muttered to himself.

"Touma, your convenience phone is ringing!" Index's voice came from the living room.

"It's a cell phone." Kamijou Touma corrected.

Sister Index is an electrical idiot... or a technology idiot, who can't do anything about anything with a little bit of technical content.

For her, this high-tech Academy City might be the worst living environment in the world, right?

Until now, Index has not mastered such things as "answering the phone" and "operating the TV remote control".

Kamijou Touma wiped the water off his hands and went out to answer the phone.

Kamijou Touma's cell phone is a cheap one just replaced.Because of his unfortunate, cursed constitution, accidentally breaking his phone was a common occurrence.

So Kamijou Touma is used to backing up the address book information on the phone card.

Now, thanks to this wise decision, he who has lost his memory can use the information recorded in the address book to re-acquaint some of his acquaintances.

"But who is this 'flaming madman'?" Kamijou Touma looked at the name on the caller ID, "Did I have the habit of giving people nicknames before?"

Although he thought so, but considering that this might be someone he was familiar with, or even a friend, Kamijou Touma connected the phone.

"Mosimoxi..."

"Kamijou Touma," a strange man's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Now let me ask you, is Index by your side?"

Know Index?Is it an acquaintance from before?

"Yeah..." Kamijou Touma looked at the girl beside him, and then recalled some things that Ling Xingye and Hitomi Shiranui told him, "Are you... Stiyl?"

Kamijou Touma guessed the other party's identity based on known information.

If the information of Ling Xingye and the others is reliable, it seems that there is only one guy named Steele who knows Index, who has the attribute of "flame", and whose voice makes people feel angry, right?

It is said that he is still a magician.

Kamijou Touma is not sure if this is true because he has no memory.

"I'm so glad you still remember my voice." Steele's tone was full of sarcasm, "Now, find a place where Index can't hear you to answer the phone."

Stiyl ordered bluntly.

Kamijou Touma looked at Index who was watching TV beside him, and then walked into the kitchen with his mobile phone.

"Okay, I have something to say." Although I don't know the relationship between myself and Stiyl, judging from the other party's tone just now, I don't think there is any need to be too polite to him.

"I'll give you half an hour to find an excuse to hide from that kid, Index, and come out alone. I'll give you the address right away."

Hearing the unceremonious tone of order on the other side, Kamijou Touma became upset: "Why are you ordering me?"

"This is a mission. You have no right to refuse." Stiles said, "We should have told you before that Index is only staying with you temporarily, and you will become the new safety lock. If you refuse our mission , then it can be regarded as dereliction of duty, and Index will also be taken back by us."

Steele sneered: "But to be honest, I'd like to see that ending. I don't want to let that child stay with you anymore."

"What!" Kamijou Touma almost jumped up, "It's despicable to threaten me with Index!"

"You can choose to refuse."

Kamijou Touma squeezed the phone tightly, turned back and opened the refrigerator to check the food stored in it: "What is the mission? Is it dangerous? Can it be finished before noon?"

"We'll talk about the task when we meet. For you, maybe it's not too dangerous—because of that right hand. As for when it will end, it depends on your performance."

Kamijou Touma looked down at his right hand - the "Phantasy Killer" that can erase all abnormal powers.

It seems that the other party is also very clear.

"Okay, tell me the address, and I'll rush there right away."

Since Index moved in, Kamijou Touma developed the habit of storing food.Now there are enough ingredients in the refrigerator to consume for the whole day today.

But Index can't cook—at least she can't even use a microwave.So she can't be expected to figure out lunch on her own.

It must be done quickly!Kamijou Touma rushed out, made an excuse, and told Index not to run around, and ran out of the apartment.

Anyway, race against time to get everything done before Index gets worried and hungry and gets home.

The fact that Index might be "recycled" makes Kamijou Touma uneasy.Therefore, he must try his best to prevent this from happening.

In Kamijou Touma's instinctive judgment, Stiyl can be trusted, and he won't make jokes to harm himself.

But at the same time, Steele's threat is also serious!

Kamijou Touma had no doubt that that man could really do the thing that took Index away.
