Clip exposure, the savior Kamijou Touma

That's right...

It's natural to have such emotions.

because...

"Touma, this... this is me."

Index once again faced this reality that she couldn't admit frankly;

The look in the video...

"Touma, Touma... this is the one that hurt you before and caused you to lose your memory..."

A sudden shout interrupted the trembling voice of the silver-haired nun.

"Stop talking about this. There's no need to delve into something that doesn't even need to be thought about. This isn't your fault!"

The tragic Mr. Kamijou said this while digging his fingernails into his flesh.

Just as he thought.

As expected, this powerful enemy will appear at the end;

The so-called enemies who demonstrate the sequence of the next chapter in advance would never appear even in a third-rate game!

The battle between the two sides in the video was actually planned by the last guy of God's Right Seat!

but--

How did he manage to get Index into this mode?

The answer to this question comes from the video itself.

Look back at the screen.

“…Index…!?”

Kamijou couldn’t help but cry out.

Why, she appeared as if responding to a call from the right. And she used a destructive move that ordinary people could never do - yes, why could she, who couldn't use magic, use such a move that was obviously magic?

There are two answers to his question.

If the first one is the fire on the right,

"It's a safety device for the Index of Forbidden Books... a spiritual device that controls the 'Automatic Scribe' from the outside. It's a secret item that only the upper echelons of the Royal and Puritan factions can get. However, considering the pollution effect of the original text, it is really only used when there is no other choice - hasn't it always been strange? No matter how much the girl hoped, she dared to throw the Index of Forbidden Books, the carrier of 103,000 grimoires, into the streets of the scientific world without any guarantee? To be honest, the only one who could create such a cruel system is the Supreme Bishop."

The second is Index's own lines.

"Yes, I'm from the Magic Library of the Zeroth Holy Temple in the British Puritan Church, the 'Church of Necessary Evil'. The official name is Index-Librorum-Prohibitrum... The abbreviation is... rustling, squeaky, cre ...

Index, who was speaking expressionlessly, suddenly began to tremble unnaturally and then collapsed to the ground.

“Index!!”

A bit of a strange turn of events...

"Oh my. Could it be that the Auto-Memories are damaged? Well, although I can't completely control my body, it can still function to this extent... If I adjust the output of my spirit suit a little, I should be able to freely access the contents of 103,000 grimoires."

The face on the right shows the expression of someone holding a toy that is beyond imagination and boring.

But his absent-minded look completely angered

“What did you do…what did you do to Index, you bastard!?”

Kamijou shouted at the top of his lungs, but Yougao spread his hands and shrugged.

"I don't know. The poor maintenance was your fault."

"asshole!"

Kamijou clenched his fists and finally took a step forward to beat the right side.

But the right side acted earlier than him.

He ordered the third hand, sending a huge flash of light towards Kamijou.

"Oh, right. We have to go to Russia to recover the materials for Angel's Advent. I'd better keep my right hand in your care until the mission is completed."

"——!?"

Kamijou could not help but use his right hand to block the flash, but when he came to his senses, the right side had disappeared. All that was left was Charissa lying in a pool of blood, Index who had lost consciousness, and the remains of the concrete road she had destroyed.

“Hey wait, why are you going back… What? To beat up that asshole boss? Wait, stop, please, stop, stop, stop!!”

Kamijou Touma stood there in a daze.

There were many people surrounding Index who had fallen to the ground.

Even the English Puritan magic experts had confused expressions on their faces.

Index lost consciousness and never woke up.

..............

Index, stripped of her consciousness.

Kanzaki Kaori, who was squatting next to the girl, looked at Kamijou and said,

"Breathing and pulse are normal. Not life-threatening."

There is no conclusion yet as to what exactly caused this.

“…What’s going on?”

An angry voice came.

It wasn't Kamijou. It was Stiyl Magnus who was questioning Laura Stewart not far away. When he finally reunited with everyone, the first thing he saw was Index lying on the ground.

"What's going on!! Just... Just what extent do you want to hide this from us? How badly do you want to destroy that child to satisfy you!!"

Completely disregarding the relationship between superiors and subordinates, Stiyl grabbed Laura's collar and yelled. However, Laura was not moved at all.

"Stop it. Setting up multiple security devices for the Index takes precedence over protecting her human rights."

Elizard interjected.

Facing the silent Stiyl, the Queen continued,

"If we don't set up a device that can be remotely controlled from London, we will have to consider countermeasures for the 'Index of Forbidden Books is in danger of being taken away by others'. For example, lock Eternal Life in a dark room in the Execution Tower, cut off his limbs to prevent him from escaping... something like that."

"Are you... serious?"

"One hundred and three thousand grimoires cannot be protected based on my personal feelings alone. If there is no 'this is something safe that can be completely controlled', if I get into trouble one day, there will be no reason to object to 'the Index is dangerous so it's better to kill it'... In order to prevent this from happening, it is necessary to prepare multiple safety devices."

"hateful!!"

Stiyl spat, throwing Laura aside.

What's going on, Kamijou thought.

Just now, weren't we all working together?

Isn't it a happy ending?

It was just that, because of the appearance of the right fire, it became like this. In just a moment, everything was scattered and could never be put together again.

The last person of "God's Right Seat".

Fire on the right.

His appearance seriously destroyed the tacit understanding that had just been formed among the group.

It also made Kamijou Touma realize...that he must defeat this inexplicable bastard.

Chapter 103. You are my rival!

Murphy's Law.

Generally refers to a certain psychological effect.

The meaning is as follows↓

If there are two or more ways to do something,

If one of these choices will lead to disaster, someone will definitely make that choice.

The bottom line is: If something can go wrong, no matter how small the chance is, it will.

Especially when there are scenes in the editing highlights that deliberately lead the audience to guess, the incident is bound to happen.

Ah..

Really.

He was clearly someone who knew this matter very well from the beginning.

But I still had some hope.

"I am really a..."

Suddenly, a burst of self-loathing broke out.

The scene of Index fainting on the screen and Touma being unable to do anything about it made Touma feel overwhelmed.

Feelings of regret and self-blame caused him to pound the table hard;

A surge of guilt and strong hostility towards the country that treated Index as a slave rose up in her heart.

"Touma?"

On the verge of an emotional outburst;

A familiar and helpless voice sounded.

Look up.

The silver-haired nun was looking at him at a loss.

Her expression was panicked.

But it's not about treating the horror that's happening within the video itself.

It was the same as Kamijou Touma;

The panic and confusion that only appear when seeing the strong emotions between each other.

Index is worried about Touma.

"Ah... Sorry, Index."

"I'm sorry, Index, but I just can't stand forgiving a bastard who did something like this."

The hedgehog-haired boy forced a smile. He was clearly not very motivated but he still maintained a smile: "Even if this happens again in the future, I will definitely handle it!"

Index opened her mouth and was about to say something.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

This broke the somewhat stalemate.

Who would knock on the door at a time like this?

[Ka-da! ]

The doorbell gradually stopped ringing.

Touma had no intention of leaving the guest alone.

Just wait until the door opens.

The boy was slightly shocked. After hesitating for a while, he opened the door and looked at the fiery red figure with a dark face. "It seems that what I said was right, Stiyl! If your people still have this method of controlling Index..."

I haven't had time to finish my words.

The final condemnation was silenced by Stiyl's angry punch to the wall.

[Boom——! 】

The fire mage, who always had a cold attitude, stabbed his fist against the wall to vent his anger. He felt severe pain, but he remained silent.

If there is any weakness among the magicians whose bodies have been tempered by life-and-death duels, it is the flesh itself which cannot be strengthened even by magic.

But at this time, the anger that arises from the heart;

The boy, who never liked to vent his anger physically, didn't even feel how much pain his fist caused.
