"If you are Index's companion! Then why doesn't she recognize you!" Kamijou Touma pointed to the core.
Shen Fu thought for a while and decided that he should maintain his strong demeanor and remain silent, letting Kamijou Touma, a good talker, reason with the other party.
"Because Index lost her memory!" Steele told the truth, so he gave the answer without thinking.
Kamijou Touma turned around and looked at Index in disbelief.
Losing memory was a completely unfamiliar feeling to him before, but now it was extremely clear. The feeling of trying hard to recall but not being able to think of even a little bit of content was too uncomfortable.
"I, I really have no memory of before coming here..."
Index's eyes were a little confused. The magic used by the other party seemed to be the magic commonly used by the English Puritans, but the remaining memory in her mind could not find any impression related to the other party.
"Everything I said is true. Index has lost her memory and sees us as the magicians who are chasing her. And because of her identity as a forbidden book of magic, we will not allow her to be taken away by other magicians. , we can only adopt this semi-forced behavior." Steele breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
He was indeed worried that Shen Fu's purpose was the Index of Magical Forbidden Books. Although the Chinese cultivators were not magicians, who knew whether it was true or not, or maybe the other party had reached a cooperative relationship with other magician organizations.
In short, A Certain Magical Index must be brought back to the UK.
Kamijou Touma looked at Steele's matter-of-fact expression and clenched his fists unconsciously.
"What kind of companion is this!" Even though it was his first meeting with Index, Kamijou Touma still couldn't bear the anger in his heart, "What on earth are you going to do to make her feel that she is being hunted! Just because of her clothes Can you attack your partners without any scruples in this kind of clothes? What a joke! In my opinion, you are not qualified to mention the word partner at all!"
"It's so annoying! What else do you know!"
Steele, who should have been stunned, unexpectedly exploded. You could almost hear the sound of gnashing teeth, and even his whole body was shaking.
"Who are you? What qualifications do you have to judge us! You don't understand anything! Do you think we haven't thought about telling her properly and being her partner? We have tried every possible means. ! No matter what kind of relationship it is, friends, family, or even lovers, it will only be reduced to zero in the end!"
If Shen Fu said this, Steele wouldn't be so impulsive, but the person in front of him is just an insignificant, useless, and incompetent ordinary person.
What qualifications does he have to teach himself a lesson with compassion for someone who has nothing to do with it!
Kamijou Touma was stunned for a moment.
Naturally, it was not because of facing the anger from the magician, but because of the surging "emotion".
If the other party is not deliberately acting, this sudden burst of emotion is enough to show that the other party at least really cares about the girl named Index next to him.
That's why he couldn't figure it out. If he cared, why would he do such a thing, even letting himself be mistaken for an enemy by his companions? What exactly happened to this girl?
"Okay, this discussion ends here!" Shen Fu finally spoke up and stopped the quarrel between Kamijou Touma and Steele, "From my perspective, the matter is actually very simple. I agreed to Indy Kesi protects her, and in this case, she will not be handed over to anyone. If you are really her partner, then let her follow you on her own, and I will not stop her."
Steele also calmed down from his anger.
His eyes swept back and forth between Shen Fu and Kamijou Touma, and finally stopped on Index.
As if aware of his gaze, Index retracted behind Shen Fu. The panic and fear in that last glance were enough to explain everything. He who acted like that would probably never be able to get Index again. trust.
"Senior, I don't need to tell you the importance of the Index of Magical Books." Steele still wanted to struggle for the last time, "Those 13,000 magic books may even make people become [Demon Gods] who can distort all the laws of the world. , take her with you, but you will face endless troubles!"
Shen Fu's eyes narrowed and he took a step forward.
A monstrous momentum burst out from him. Even in this small space, there was a power that seemed to sweep the entire world.
Steele groaned and fell heavily to the ground. He felt a sweet sensation in his throat and the blood in his lungs surged up. His eyes were full of unbelievable horror. His momentum alone was enough to make him unable to resist or even hurt. Seriously injured, where did this monster come from!
"I didn't speak clearly enough, or you took yourself too seriously."
Shen Fu's voice was very soft, but every word was like a heavy hammer hitting his chest in Steele's ears. The blood that was suppressed in his mouth could no longer be controlled and spurted to the ground.
However, that terrifying momentum did not last long. The barrier that enveloped everyone faded away at the same time. Shen Fu stretched out his hand and led Index step by step, without even looking at it, lying like a dead dog. Steele, who was on the ground, didn't hear a faint word until he stepped through the door of the dormitory.
"Whether he is Index's partner or not, it doesn't matter what you say, it only counts if Index admits it, do you understand?"
After this last sentence entered Steele's mind, he could no longer hold on, and his surroundings began to blur, completely falling into darkness.
After Shen Fu took Index and Kamijou Touma away, he stood on the roadside and made a phone call, asking the staff of the institute to drive over to pick them up. Then he looked at Kamijou Touma's hesitant expression. , smiled and said, "Are you thinking about whether what the person just said is true or false?"
Kamijou Touma was a little embarrassed on his face, but he still nodded. The surge of [emotions] from the other party at that moment did make him a little confused and a little angry.
"Actually, there is nothing to say. Everyone has their own way of expressing emotions. For example, if you Kamijou Touma, you will probably choose to stand with your partners no matter what happens, but for some people, in the After experiencing some things, you will give up, and you will stubbornly believe that your own way is the best for your partners... I wonder if you have ever heard of hatred out of love? That is also a relatively extreme way to express feelings. Way."
From Shen Fu's point of view, it is really difficult to say who is right and who is wrong. Although Steele was deceived by the church, if Kamijou Touma did not have the ability brought by that right hand, he would not be able to help the partners who wanted to help.
