She no longer suppressed her strength. Her long silver-white hair was flying under the influence of magic, and the light of magic flowed all over her body. She was like a goddess in mythology, and her beautiful face was as inviolable as a queen. With some soul-shaking power, Steele even knelt down on one knee without knowing when, no longer resisting, but looking forward to the only master in the world like a lost lamb.
According to rumors about the jealous magic power of Satila, as long as a mortal takes a look at her, her mind will be taken away from her.
But this didn't last long.
With all aspects suppressed, the [collar] in Index's mind was destroyed without resistance.
The light beams all over the sky turned into pieces of "feathers of light" that fluttered down, each piece carrying amazing magic power. This seemed to be the last resort, but before it could touch Emilia and Index, When the time comes, they all turn into little bits of light and dissipate.
Everything seems to be over.
Except for Steele, who was still half-kneeling, everyone rushed forward.
Emilia put a finger in front of her lips to stop everyone from speaking, and then said in a very soft voice, "Index is fine, she just fell asleep. It looks like she should have a good dream." .”
Looking at Index sleeping soundly in her arms, everyone knew that this was really over.
"...Thank you! Really, really thank you!" Kanzaki Kaori no longer knew what words to use to express her feelings at this time, so she could only bow deeply to Emilia. , unwilling to stand up straight for a long time.
After seeing that kind of magic, how could she not know what happened to Index, and how could she not know what the nightmare she had been having was.
However, those painful memories are finally over.
"Emilia, take Index back and rest." Shen Fu said while lifting the barrier, "I still have something to say to Kanzaki and the others, Mikoto, do you want to go back?"
Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko shook their heads in unison. Mitsuko hesitated for a moment, but also shook his head.
For them, tonight was really an eye-opener, like opening the door to a new world, so how could they be willing to go back like this.
"Okay, then you can rest here today. I will call your dormitory later to explain."
Shen Fu waved his hand and didn't care much. In Academy City, large research institutions like theirs still have great conveniences. Asking for leave for students is just a trivial matter.
"Index...is she okay?" Kamijou Touma seemed to be a little unsure until this moment.
"Of course she's fine, but I have a lot to do here!"
After Shen Fu dismantled the barrier, everyone returned to the original small square. Not even a trace of the movement just leaked to the outside world. However, with Aleister's wisdom, just seeing this appearance should be enough. You can roughly guess what's going on inside.
"Kanzaki, and the red-haired magician over there, come with me." Shen Fu didn't look good. After leaving these words coldly, he turned around and walked towards the inside of the research institute. .
Kanzaki Kaori was silent for a while, but still followed Shen Fu. She naturally guessed what she was going to say next. Now that Index's crisis has been resolved, it seems that there is no need to continue to have her memory erased, so Next, it is a question of staying or leaving.
On this issue, her and Steele's current position is very awkward.
The group of people followed Shen Fu to what seemed to be a conference room. Shen Fu sat directly on the main seat, "Let me be blunt, what do you want to say about Index's state just now?"
Shen Fu stared at Kanzaki Kaori and Steele, and his tone could not be described as friendly.
On the other side, Kamijou Touma was explaining the cause and effect of the matter to Misaka Mikoto and the others in a low voice, and from time to time there were a few muffled exclamations.
Faced with Shen Fu's questioning, Kanzaki Kaori chose to remain silent, while Steele seemed to be in a daze at this time. No matter how experienced he looked, he was still just a fourteen-year-old boy in the final analysis. What he saw tonight gave him a big shock.
"If you don't say anything, then let me tell you my opinion." Shen Fu tapped his fingers on the table and made a thumping sound, "From my point of view, it's you, or the church you belong to. , forcing an innocent girl with [complete memory ability] to become your [library] in a completely inhumane way, and treating her as a [tool], even in order to ensure the usability and safety of the [tool], in her A cruel magic like a [collar] is placed on the body.”
Every time Shen Fu said a word, Kanzaki Kaori's face turned even grayer.
Steele, on the other hand, gritted his teeth as if to break his teeth. He looked as if he wanted to shout, but was restrained by himself.
"Of course, I still want to believe that you are also unaware of this matter." Shen Fu changed the topic and his tone became gentler, "I originally had no position to participate in the internal issues of your church, but you have also seen it. At this point, we can no longer stay out of the situation, and I still say the same thing - unless Index volunteers, no one can take her away from me."
"......it's out of the question."
Kanzaki Kaori finally spoke, but his tone was full of helplessness, "The grimoire in Index's mind... is really too important. You are not individuals, but a force. The church is no matter what. No matter what, we will never allow A Certain Magical Index to exist in the hands of a magical force."
If Shen Fu is just an independent, pure immortal cultivator, there is still a slight possibility, but with Emilia, who has extraordinary magical attainments, and even deeper, unknown forces——
Forcing Index to stay was tantamount to directly going to war with the English Puritans.
Shen Fu had already guessed this. Although he wanted to keep Index by his side, he was not Kamijou Touma.
Kamijou Touma firstly does not have the ability to learn magic, and secondly does not have the ability to memorize and understand those magics. Most importantly, with his kind of character, there is no need to worry that he will let Index be used by any other magicians. , these factors are not available to Shen Fu.
However, at this time, we cannot be timid.
Shen Fu was like this now. He grinned and smiled happily, "Wanting a war with the British Puritan Church? It doesn't sound too bad."
