The Divine Power of Comprehensive Comics

If it causes you any trouble, I'll just leave... Those people may catch up, and you don't want your room to blow up like this...

She unexpectedly didn't want to leave. Although they had only been together for a short time, she still felt a little bit reluctant to let go of the new friend who was not a close friend.

And he is also a magician, maybe he can really help him.

But this is not possible. If you cause trouble to strangers who have nothing to do with you, you will be abandoned by God.

Index thought this, and then pretended to smile calmly.

You don't have to worry too much about me! I'm not without companions. As long as I escape into the church, the people there will protect me.

Where is the church?

London.

This is [Academy City]. It's an area within the neon area. To go to a place like that, you need to cross the ocean, and you don't have money. Are you planning to fly there?

Xia Qing asked.

Huh? Ah, don't worry! There should be several branches here.

Squatting next to the wall with Xia Qing, the petite girl hugged her knees with her hands.

Church, there seems to be a church in this city, but there is only one.

And because Christian culture in the broad sense is not deeply rooted in Neon, and natural disasters such as earthquakes often occur here, it is difficult to preserve buildings with historical significance.

The church in this city is just a modular house with a cross on the roof.

Hmm... But not all churches can do it... The one I belong to is a Country Y-style sect...

As if she was afraid that Xia Qing wouldn't understand, she explained before Xia Qing spoke.

Well... Christianity in the broad sense is actually divided into many sects. First of all, it can be divided into two major sects: Catholicism and Protestantism. And the Catholic sect to which I belong can be subdivided into the Roman Orthodox Church with the Vatican as the center, and the Russian Church with Russia as its base. Adult Christianity, English Puritanism with St. George's Cathedral as its core, and other branches.

So...if I run into a church from another sect, they won't help me.

Index smiled bitterly.

Then, she got up and went to the door of the apartment, opened it and tried to walk out.

Hey, why don't you stay here first...

Before Xia Qing finished speaking, the girl screamed Ah! and then fled back into the house like flying, and threw herself into the arms of Xia Qing who had just walked to the door.

Wow! Xia Qing! Something strange appeared out of nowhere...!?

Index screamed with tears in her eyes, forgetting even that she was holding Xia Qing at the moment.

That's just a cleaning robot, it won't hurt you.

Xia Qing explained to the girl in his arms.

The size and shape of the cleaning robot is like a large iron bucket, with small rollers at the bottom. Just like a large cleaning machine, the floor is cleaned by the rotation of the round rag at the bottom.

In order to avoid pedestrians and obstacles, it is equipped with cameras. Girls wearing miniskirts hate this thing.

...I see, that's it. It is indeed a big country in science and technology. It has entered an era where even familiars are mechanized!?

That's not a familiar.

Xia Qing, who has also dabbled in the system of [Magic], tried to explain the difference between familiars and machines to the girl, but in the end she chose to give up. It is impossible for the girl not to know what familiars are, she just knows nothing about technology. Just know.

This is Academy City, and the streets are full of these things.

Academy City?

Yes, the slower-developing areas in Kyoto's western district were acquired all at once to build this 'city'. This 'school city' includes dozens of universities and hundreds of elementary schools, junior high schools and high schools. Eighty percent of the residents are students, and the buildings that look like apartments are actually student dormitories.”

This [Academy City] not only teaches students to study, but also secretly develops superpowers and bodies.

So the scenery on the street will be a little different. Automatic food waste processing machines, wind turbines that have reached practical levels, and the recent cleaning robots... These experimental products developed by universities are all over the streets. The scientific and technological civilization here The level is probably twenty years ahead of the outside world.

By this world's standards.

This is what Xia Qing did not say.

Woo...

Index left Xia Qing's arms with some caution, then looked at the cleaning robot and said.

So, the buildings in this city are all under the jurisdiction of Academy City?

Xia Qing nodded.

Well, so if you want to find the church you belong to, it is basically impossible in this city. Besides, I don't think those people will protect you.

Eh? Why do you say that?

Index's expression was stunned and she couldn't understand Xia Qing's words.

Anyway, let's spend the night at my place tonight.

Xia Qing said with a smile.

But... it will trouble you...

Although she said so, the look of joy in the girl's eyes gave her away.

Tomorrow's breakfast will be rich.

The girl who heard this shouted with stars in her eyes.

I do!

Don't make it look like I'm proposing to you.

Xia Qing complained as he opened the door to let her in.

It doesn't matter, no one saw it anyway, no! I didn't promise you...

Index's cheeks turned slightly red and she whispered.

As he walked into the house, Xia Qing glanced at the roof of an apartment in the distance. After using his Sharingan to observe the two figures standing there, the corners of his mouth slowly curved.

That was the partner with whom Index formed a friendship when her memory was erased for the first time. However, due to the deception of the church, she is still kept in the dark until now. She only wants to eliminate Index before her end is approaching. Her memory.

Index will need to perform magic and rituals to erase memories every year. This is also because Supreme Bishop Laura Stewart designed the rule that (Index's) memory must be erased every year and also formulated A security measure to prevent treachery on the Forbidden Index.
