Clip exposure, the savior Kamijou Touma

She lived in a house in the student dormitory in the seventh district of Academy City.

This is not Index's room.

After all, she is not even a student.

This is a young boy's house.

Index was originally only staying here temporarily.

However, the young man who should be the owner of this house is no longer here.

There is no guarantee he will be able to return.

According to the "Organization" that Index originally belonged to, it would be of no benefit for her to stay in this city and continue to use this room. Should she listen to the "Organization" and return to England...

But she would not go back no matter what.

If I stay here, I will see that face unexpectedly someday. No matter what, no matter what. Let Index give up.

Leaving here, completely erasing that tiny possibility... She even considered that kind of doom that defied common sense.

This is considered willful.

The original "organization" allowed such willfulness.

Was this considering Index's own feelings? Or was it considering the feelings of the boy who disappeared in the center of World War III to stop the fighting?

The colors of the picture are dim in vain.

It seemed to reflect Index's current mood in the video.

It also seemed to reflect the emotions of the girl who was staring at the video with her eyes wide open.

Similarly, there was a flurry of discussion in Academy City.

...

And now.

The audience in front of the video started discussing the scenes they had just seen.

Can Index still wait for the boy who always returns as a hero?

In this room that is clearly deserted

The guy who keeps working hard to save everyone, can he get his own salvation?

“Oh, this is really a tough guy with a lot of backbone. I will also use him as an example to motivate myself. Kamijou-kun is indeed a man of backbone and passion.” After seeing the video, Sogiita Gunha, the psychic of Academy City and the psychic No. 7 who has always been respected and praised by people, clenched his fists without knowing when. Looking at the scenes in the video, he couldn’t help but praise with high spirits: “I believe he will be able to come back!”

"Oh, what do you want to say?" Beside him, his schoolmate looked at the boy with interest, who clenched his fists like a passionate Edo man. He raised his frown and teased with a slight sarcasm: "In the plot of the Daiba Star Festival chapter, weren't you worried that he might be hurt by the monster at the beginning?"

Such an answer made Romani couldn't help but shake his head. He was very disappointed that his partner actually said such contemptuous words towards him. The corner of his mouth twisted and he almost fainted.

"I have to admit. This kind of self-sacrificing spirit really shocked me. It's really amazing. The awareness of this powerless person makes me feel really regretful that I didn't have the opportunity to bring him to my own faction in the past."

Mai Ye Shenli, who belongs to the Anbu and has always been violent and arrogant, had to admit that this peer who had no superpowers really did something that could be called a miracle. He couldn't help but lazily applaud and feel sorry for this young man who always tried to show off his strength and get involved in difficult matters, although he didn't know whether he was sincere or not.

But after the applause, her tone suddenly changed and she began to analyze and evaluate calmly.

"Ah... but this guy fell from a great height. He will probably be smashed into a pulp in this situation. Or will he encounter some kind of adventure and be rescued by someone... It's just like the plots in fairy tales written for children."

No one is qualified to speculate whether Kamijou Touma will appear again.

same.

No one would speculate whether he could appear in the video intact after he had done this and fallen from such a high place.

After all, even the protagonist Light Yagami was killed in the end. With this precedent, no one can guarantee whether the subsequent protagonists will survive 100%.

Something to say.

At this moment.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the video.

Tightly tied to the perspective of the girl Index.

Listen to her inner monologue.

Looking forward to it and praying.

Waiting for a miracle to happen.

As the scene dragged on, it became longer and longer.

The anticipation for miracles also gradually increased.

Because... every time the editing reaches this critical juncture, as long as it is in slow motion, it means that something incredible is about to happen.

And this moment.

Index outside the edited video also opened her eyes wide...

She watched the video in silence.

. . .

The clip is still playing.

"Touma,

Inadvertently, I called out that name.

There is another person... no, the calico cat "Sphinx" who has been staying here for a while is living his own life. "Although there are so many British dishes, they are all the same as cat food."

As soon as Index finished speaking, the cat had already stuck its head into the bag of English produce and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

Only those with a leisurely mind can smile while looking at such an unchanging scene.

After overcoming this psychological barrier, she would keep moving forward regardless of what she lost. This made her feel a little uneasy.

Will he come back?

It’s like this now, when will it end?

Does it make sense?

Does it have to be meaningful?

She herself could not suppress that feeling. She should have focused her thoughts on one point, but they were all over the place in her mind. These fragments of things released various opinions like sparks from a short circuit in a power line. However, these chaotic impressions could not be unified.

Once they gather together, conflicts will definitely arise.

Once there is an opportunity, it will collapse drastically.

It's like putting a huge wooden board on top of a sharp wooden stake.

Wherever you touch the board with your fingers, you will fall in that direction.

Perhaps it was just to maintain this precarious balance that she remained so dazed.

Just like this, Index, who had been temporarily stagnant with her "overly vivid thoughts", now exerted her last bit of strength.

"..This is the 0-yuan cell phone I got from Kamijou Touma. Although it has full memory capabilities, it is an electronic product that cannot be used freely without Kamijou's assistance in various aspects. And, if I know how to use it, I might be able to get in touch with that boy.

Looking at it, Index's heart suddenly fell.

Even I can't control where I will go.

Regardless, Index picked up the calico cat that had its head buried in the cat food bag and walked toward the entrance of the room. Nothing would be solved even if she kept waiting.

It didn't matter if there were any clues or not. Anyway, in order to find the boy again, Index was about to rush into the outside world.

The hand will extend over the handle.

Just press it again to start a new journey of searching.

However....

The next moment, the melancholy and anxiety disappeared along with the sound of the door opening.

With a click...

"Hmm, hmm... I've been waiting for a long, long time...

Like a magnet that attracts all the iron sand in a sand field, Kamijou Touma, who was accompanied by more than ten girls, opened the door to the entrance and rushed in.

At first, Index blinked desperately.

Then I finally recognized the truth.

"T-Touma! I was worried about you when you were missing for so long, but what are you doing now?!"

"Dizzy... Eh? What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"I would say that Touma is just like this normally, but it's obvious that someone I don't know has sneaked in!"

Chapter 143. The Sigh of the Underworld Soul

Kamijou Touma makes a grand return.

Under the focused gaze of all the audience.

What surprised everyone was.

He showed no signs of injury after falling from such a great height.

Looking unscathed and...radiant?

Behind him is a group of girls who have never appeared before.

What kind of strange plot is this unfolding?

After witnessing this scene, all the viewers in front of the video felt awe-inspiring.

They started discussing it in great confusion.

Could it be that this young man is really possessed by a beauty?

He always has to be rescued by girls, or when girls get into trouble, Kamijou Touma needs to come and help rescue them.

"How should I know this?"

Look at the complaints from the audience in the comment section.

Then he looked at Index who had a particularly unfriendly look beside him.

I thought about how just a moment ago I was still upset about myself in the video not following the rules and not keeping my promise.

Kamijou Touma was both happy and sad.

What makes me sad is that such a noble character of mine is not trusted by everyone. Is it really possible for a kind-hearted person like me to do something like leaving Index pitifully in the dormitory and then go to be alone with other girls?

however.

He was also happy that the self in the video actually survived. This way, he would not break his promise to Index, and... he successfully fulfilled his promise.

These two emotions are intertwined and confused.

This resulted in Kamijou Touma having a strange expression at the moment.

It's like a half-smile, actually very happy but having to pretend to be sad.

Moreover, how could such a scene, which is prone to gloating, be without the intervention of the master instigator Tsuchimikado.

He couldn't help but fan the flames, winking and patting Touma's shoulder, ignoring his good brother's ugly face, and said with an expression of knowing the truth: "Laugh if you want, A-Kami-nyan~ Since you suddenly appeared on the screen with so many beautiful magician girls, and were edited and watched... and even triumphantly returned in such a happy manner, I'm sure Index will be particularly happy~~~right?"

Hear the sound.

Stiyl sneered coldly and silently lit a cigarette.

Next to her, Kamiya Kaori was indifferent, as if she heard nothing.

The two completely different reactions also reflect their personalities.

however--

Something to really fear.

But they are definitely not these two unrelated bystanders.

Because, after Tsuchimikado said this.

Touma was horrified to find that the temperature in the room seemed to have suddenly dropped by dozens of degrees.

Looking at Tsuchimikado's expression again, he looked like a fox gloating over someone else's misfortune, with his mouth crooked, as if the incident had nothing to do with him at all...
