Clip exposure, the savior Kamijou Touma

But don’t want to——

When the next scene came, he was completely dumbfounded, just like all the audience.

Because the magician who called himself Thor had no intention of fighting him at all.

Instead, the two of them went somewhere together to have a happy hamburger party to discuss the matter of [Declaration of War].

and--

At the so-called hamburger social, they started discussing what tactics the two of them should adopt, which surprised everyone.

That's right...

Two people.

...

In the clip, there is the action of eating burgers non-stop.

The conversation between the two became more pleasant.

"Well, let's talk about Orelus. Orelus, who, like us, is a troublemaker and always resorts to violence to solve problems."

Thor picked up the chicken nuggets and dipped them in ketchup and said:

"That guy didn't come to Academy City alone."

"What did you say?"

"Saint Sylvia, former leader of the Right Seat of God, Right Flame, Valkyrie Brunhilde Ecktebel, and leader of the magic society Dawn of Light, Levinia Birdway. They are a group of monsters that are no less powerful than the Troublemakers, and all of them are above the level of a mere magician... Anyway, they must have sensed our movements and gathered here to stop our operations in Academy City."

Levinia Birdaway.

When he heard the name, Kamijou felt a stirring of displeasure in his heart.

The leader of the magic society "Dawn of the Morning". The girl deceived Kamijou and his team who were working to resolve the Hawaiian Islands incident, causing a huge rift in the relationship between Academy City and the supporting organization, and was partly responsible for the turmoil in Bagagegi City.

But now is not the time to dwell on such things.

"...So what? Isn't it just to protect the people of Academy City from you guys?"

"In that case, why set the battlefield in Academy City?"

Thor pointed out in an insufferable tone.

He put the chicken nugget in his mouth and said:

"If you really want to protect Academy City from us 'troublemakers', you should have eliminated us before we sneaked into Academy City. To put it simply, it would be more appropriate to set up a defense line outside or around Academy City instead of in it. For example, on the sea before entering Japan, or in the mountains in the Kanto area."

Thor licked his fingertips that were stained with ketchup and grease, lowered his voice slightly and continued:

“…But, such a powerful force is deployed in Academy City? Are they aware of the threat posed by the ‘troublemakers’? Perhaps they deployed it based on the premise of the ‘troublemakers’. From what I can see, these people are deliberately trying to drag Academy City into trouble. What do you think? Is this what a pacifist would do?”

"..."

"Just like the 'troublemakers' have their own goals, the Orels forces also have their own goals. Both sides want to use Academy City to achieve their goals. This is the true nature of the current composition. Regardless of whether it will actually work, once a war breaks out in the city, Academy City's defense forces will come to deal with the 'troublemakers'. Although I don't think I will be defeated, I have to be wary of the simultaneous attacks from the scientific camp and the Orels forces, and I can only remain vigilant."

Every magician who belongs to the "Troublemaker" has monster-like power.

But that’s not the worst.

The most troublesome thing is that they can exert that power in an organized way.

"In other words, in order to make the situation deviate from the 'existing pattern', we have to prevent the 'troublemakers' from cooperating with each other... Is this why the Orelus forces chose this place?"

“It’s just a hypothesis though.”

Kamijou placed the half-eaten burger, along with its wrapper, on the tray.

These words made him lose his appetite instantly.

In order to achieve their own goals, those people planned to surround Academy City with war.

If this is true, the relationship picture so far would undergo a dramatic shift.

"Do you know Orelus's purpose?"

"Who knows. It should be said that this is simply a conflict between Orelus and Othinus. Both sides are monsters immersed in the realm of the 'Devil'. I don't know if ordinary members can understand their thoughts."

"You expect me to believe you just by saying this? This is something that was said by someone who is clearly from the enemy camp!"

"I didn't ask you to believe me, idiot. I just asked you not to rely too much on one-sided information. Since you have heard a lot from Orelus, come and listen to our proposal this time. After getting information from all sides, you can come up with your own answer. The only way to stop being manipulated by others is to think with your own mind. Therefore, the more information you use to make judgments, the better. Am I right?"

"... Even if that's the case, what is your purpose? No matter what path I choose, our hostile relationship will not change."

"Even if we become enemies and fight each other, we should be fully prepared to fight without any worries. To be honest, your surroundings are really miserable. No matter who it is, they want to use the power of that right hand for their own benefit and try their best to lead you like a monkey. It's too boring to start a war under such circumstances. Where is your own opinion?"

Thor continued to fight with the salsa burger as if digesting a match, and then said:

"But, there are still some strange things about Orelus. I don't know if that's his original nature or if it changed after he became almost a demon."

"...?"

"That guy is basically very philanthropic. If he sees someone in trouble, he will help no matter how hard it takes. But that's also why he can't see the situation around him clearly. To put it bluntly, he's the kind of person who would kill a million soldiers just to save a child he doesn't know. Although it's unclear whether Orelus has set a target to save, if it's 'something outside of Academy City', it can be judged that he may use Academy City to help the other party."

It is unknown how much of what the boy said was true.

However, it was also true that Kamijou did not know Orelus. Although he was saved by him in Bagagegi Castle, he could not completely conclude that Orelus was a friend who was consistent in his appearance and heart.

Magical society "Dawn of the Morning".

Its leader, Levinia Birdaway, seems to feel the same way.

Kamijou asked the question carefully.

"...Assuming that the 'troublemaker' is not a good person, and the Orelus forces that are fighting against him are not good people either, then what is your position when you explain this matter so proudly?"

"It's very simple."

Thor maintained his usual attitude -

"The Troublemakers came to Academy City for something, and Orelus came to Academy City to stop them... In that case, when those two organizations are dragging their feet and doing something extremely troublesome over there, there is also a way to give them a big surprise. Don't you think so?"

"?"

"It's up to the two of us to rescue the prize of the scramble."

Chapter 160: Infiltration! Aleister Building

The conflict between the two organizations was easily revealed by a young man from the Hamburger Lovers Association who called himself Thor, the God of Thunder.

Although I don’t know whether it is right or wrong.

However, the preconceived subjective ideas collided violently with what the young man in front of him said.

"Of course we can't believe him." In the world of One Piece, on the vast ocean, the vice-captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, Zoro, couldn't help but sneered: "Come on, what era is this? Can anyone still easily believe that an enemy will suddenly come to form an alliance with you under the banner of wanting to do something else? This is simply a joke."

Yes.

This is an inevitable war.

And one of the parties.

This is the Gremlin where the young Thor lives.

Even if he now accuses the other side's Orelus of being a dangerous person on the same level as their leader.

Who would believe such words?

"Hmm... But I feel like what he said is a possibility, Zoro."

"Huh? Luffy! What are you talking about?"

With the green seaweed-headed boy's strongly dissatisfied look, Luffy, who was lying on the captain's exclusive Merry sheep's head, yawned and said carelessly: "Well, anyway, I always feel that what this guy called Thor says is more interesting than playing by the rules, haha... Oh Moses Roy!"

"Huh? Just because it's funny, what on earth are you relying on in your stupid head..."

"No, it's not just interesting. There's another point. It hasn't been that long since the last betrayal in the video."

This time, the person who took over the conversation was an archaeologist named Robin. This tall woman looked at the video and gave her personal opinion: "Do you remember who betrayed the boy named Kamijou Touma in the previous video, and how did the betrayer gain their trust before betraying them?"

This sentence caused Zoro to remain silent.

"That's right. In the previous plot, the girl named Budwei entered Academy City by gaining Kamijou Touma's trust by retrieving him from the ocean."

"And after the matter was accomplished, he left without hesitation. I guess this would be one of the factors that Kamijou Touma would consider and agree to." Nami took over the conversation and completed the possible psychological dynamics.

Well...what Robin said is very good, and what Nami thought is also right.

This made Sanji, who was looking at the two of them, hesitate and didn't know who to support.

So in the end, he could only hold a cigarette in his mouth, and looked at the video as if he really understood it, and said leisurely: "In a word...this matter——"

“I think Kamijou in the video is also facing the same troubles as me at this moment.”

...

This is different from the other planes in the heavens where people are fiercely discussing who is right and who is wrong.

In fact, it is in the native plane of Magical Index.

Such arguments are not strong.

At least Orelus himself, who was evaluated in this way by Thor, the god of thunder, was in a very calm mood, even a little lazy.

However, Fire on the Right and One Eye didn't pay any attention to such things.

From their perspective, the most noteworthy aspect of this whole matter now lies in other directions.

That is what choice Kamijou Touma will make in the video.

It’s really hard to say about this question. I think Mr. Kamijou in front of the video is the one who has the most say.

However, at this moment, he was looking at Thor, the God of Thunder, who was talking to himself in the video, ordering coffee and cake, and happily starting a conversation.

Kamijou Touma recalled the pain he had experienced during this summer vacation. The air conditioner suddenly lost power for unknown reasons, money got stuck in the vending machine and couldn't be taken out, and the food he bought expired for unknown reasons.

These ubiquitous painful memories once made Touma cherish every penny he received from home.

So,

"I don't know what to say to you, but I wonder how he can eat my money so expressionlessly!"

The boy made an extremely weak sound.

What's even more commendable is that Index made a sound even weaker than his: "Umm, Touma, I want to eat too... I'm so hungry."

Unfortunately, Kamijou was in the last part of his vacation at this moment, which was the time when the Accelerator incident in the original work was about to unfold, so he was actually reluctant to spend so much money to buy snacks.

I don't know how, but when Index heard this, she came back to life with a bang, and flew over with gritted teeth, grabbed Touma's ear and twisted it into her mouth.

"Damn it, Touma, you traitor!"

“Ahhhh!! Stop, I surrender, I really surrender!”

And, amidst the noise.

The content of the video is also gradually advancing.

The prologue to what is about to unfold has gradually been revealed from the mouth of a young man named Thor.

He directly stated the name of his suspected target, the magician who was most likely hidden in the heart of the city.

A magician who will never die no matter what for hundreds of years.

In the residence of Aleister, the chairman of Academy City's board of directors, the largest fortress in the city, that woman...Florence Kloiduni was imprisoned there.

He also explained that not all magicians in Gremlin wanted the whole world to go to war, and he was one of them.

However, this time, Kamijou Touma seemed very hesitant.

That was an expression that had never appeared on the face of this young man with a heart as white as glass.

It was this expression that caused Thor's smile to turn into anger.

Is this the so-called Kamijou Touma?

He struck without hesitation and spoke his thoughts and ambitions in a sonorous voice.

Even many viewers in front of the screen felt puzzled and couldn't understand what was going on.

Until Touma opened up.

""I! Already! Don't want to impose on anyone the kind of ending where I intend to save someone but end up making them suffer more! That's why I told you to prepare before you actually take action, do you understand?"

""How dare you say that..."
