"Kami-yan, what are you talking about? I know that you significantly care about rogue magicians that tend to wander in Academy City but this is something better left for professionals." Tsuchimikado explained while his eyebrows rose in curiosity at Touma's sudden change in attitude.

"He's right Kamijou. It's better if you don't any more involved than you already have." Kanzaki said with her katana still drawn.

"W-wait you two!" Touma said while trying to prevent them from taking Yumi Tokiwa and Luna without his coming along.

"What's wrong with you Kami-yan? You're usually not this adamant about coming along for questioning for magicians so what's brought up this sudden change? Surely you're not conspiring against us to free them are you?" Tsuchimikado said trying to draw out the truth behind Touma's altercation in behavior.

"…" Kanzaki and the other two girls stared wordlessly.

Kanzaki looked at Kamijou in slight concern due to the recent events that have passed. After seeing Touma jump out of a building and somehow become able to fly, she's been reasonably worried since. And with his desire to question these two magicians further, she couldn't help a small frown appear on her face.

In the meantime, Yumi eyed the katana near her neck cautiously as she worried for what her fate might entail. She was usually so self-confident in her abilities that her attitude consistently emitted an aura of what seemed like perfection. However, in this seemingly life or death instance, she felt her heart beat at an unprecedented rate and legs shake with trepidation with fear present on her face. Even though she knew she didn't deserve it, she wished that Touma Kamijou would somehow save her and Luna.

Luna remained on the ground unmoving as she looked on the current event. When the guy in sunglasses and woman with unsightly speed appeared, she noticed that the two of them looked at her in an odd fashion. It was almost as if they somehow found her appearance familiar but she noticed the man shake his head and direct his attention to Touma. As much as she didn't want to ruin her prideful self, she pleaded with all of her heart that Touma Kamijou would somehow save them even though they clearly didn't deserve it. The look of fear she saw on her master's face only heightened her sense of worry.

"No… it's… it's nothing as grandiose as that." Touma said while he glanced over in the direction of Yumi and Luna.

"It's just that I have to personally ask them some questions because … I know them from my childhood."

"W-what?" Kanzaki exclaimed in mild shock as the grip on her katana loosened.

"Oh really Kami-yan? That is… interesting." Tsuchimikado said he reflected on Touma's statement.

'If that really is the case then that would explain his recent change in behavior but… something about his whole situation still doesn't feel right." Tsuchimikado thought as he adjusted his shades.

"D-damn in Kamijou! Is that really all you have to say?!" Yumi yelled as she shoved Kanzaki's hand away during her very brief moment of weakness.

'She's fast!' Kanzaki thought as she quickly got her bearings together while Tsuchimikado ran with lightening speed to capture Yuma.

'Crap! I won't make it in time… unless I use that magic." Yumi thought as her face showed a hint of regret.

"Damn it! I'm sorry Luna!" Yumi yelled as she put her hand in the air summoning a crystal and smashing it onto the ground.

"W-what? What was that crystal?!" Tsuchimikado raised his voice in alarm as Kanzaki took sudden precedence over Luna, capturing her.

"I've never seen a magic tool like that before…" Touma said aloud as the other two individuals looked at the same spot Yumi dissapered in, in alarm.

"Tsuchimikado, did that crystal look familiar to you?" Kanzaki asked as her she held her grip on Luna's arms.

"No, I've heard of teleporting magic but not a tool that has the same function." Tsuchimikado muttered as he began to break out of his thoughts.

"But never mind that. We're bringing this girl back to England. She's-

"Wait! That's my cousin's body!"

"What?!" Tsuchimikado and Kanzaki raised their voices in great surprise.

Touma then briefly explained the situation to them omitting the parts that had to do with his memory loss.

"Ah, I see. Revenge huh? Not really a wise path to take." Kanzaki looked at Luna with pity.

"Shut up! Don't look at me like that! I don't need your pity! And you Kamijou, why did you not try to save us?! I have control of your cousin's body don't I?! We both apologized didn't we?!" Luna voiced her complaints with a vexing attitude.

"SHUT UP! Do you think I'm going to willingly protect you after you harm someone that's from my family?!" Touma raised his voice while his palm balled into a fist.

'Touma… don't lose your cool.' Osamu warned Touma.

"…" Kanzaki and Tsuchimikado stared at Touma in mild shock. They've rarely ever seen him this furious before.

"D-don't worry Kami-yan. We'll make sure that you get your cousin's body back. When I saw her, she looked a little like that cousin of yours that I remember at the end of the Angel Fall incident but I couldn't really place my finger on it. But that aside, what about your parents? Do they know she's here?"

"Ah s***! I haven't had any contact with them!" Touma said with frightful worry.

"Then go do that Kami-yan. Me and Nee-chin will go take care of this girl. Though, at some point I would like an explanation on how you exactly came back here from England." Tsuchimikado said grinning as he waved his hand. Kanzaki followed him while carrying Luna with a last look of concern directed at Touma before they both headed off.

*Sigh*

"Touma… I don't know what to say…" Osamu trailed off.

"Don't worry about it Osamu though there is something that's concerning me right now."

"What is it Touma?" Osamu asked.

"Why am I suddenly feeling the urge to fondle Kanzaki's boobs in her Fallen-Angel-Ero-Maid outfit?" Touma asked as he tried to steer his mind to less steamy places while his face blushed as much as Mikoto's.

"Well Touma, this is why I warned you about trying to not use the Image Eraser so adamantly. You see…

"Where… where am I…?" Mikoto said as she got up and tried to familiarize herself with her surroundings.

"The last thing I remember is talking to some woman at the bridge about… something." Mikoto groaned as she tried her hardest to remember exactly what the hell happened to her.

"Ah, you're awake." Said a certain familiar voice of a gym teacher.

"Huh? That uniform is from Anti-Skill? W-wa-wait! W-what happened?" Mikoto said flustered as she began to panic over her recent situation.

"Calm down. There's no need for you to be alarmed right now. You did cause some damage but none of it was really your fault. You see, you were causing a lot of mayhem at A Certain High School after you disappeared. From Tokiwadai and no one was able to trace you." Yomikawa said as she sat down.

"W-what?! I-I don't rememb-

"Yes, we know that. After you were stopped, we had doctors examine you to see if there was any drug or anything else of the sort that you act so crazy. But what they instead found out was that there were several… odd brain scans."

"O-odd?" Mikoto asked a bit worried.

"Yeah, apparently your limbic system and amygdale were forcefully tampered with by… some sort of ability. In other words, an Esper ability made you lose control of your emotions and had you go under temporary memory loss once you recovered from your memories. Well, at least that's how much we were able to figure out." Yomikawa said sighing.

"W-what…"

"I know that this might be a lot to take in but you seem perfectly fine…kind of… and according to the doctors and are to go. Though you have to come in for periodic check-ups weekly for the next several months. And right now we have to find who was able to manipulate your mind to that extent. We know that it couldn't have been Mental Out but… well anyway you're free to go. Just… try to ignore any looks of disdain that people might give to you because none of this is your fault." Yomikawa said as she started to get up and leave the room.

"Oh yeah one more thing. Apparently you no longer have your Esper ability." Yomikawa said as she left.

"W-WHAAAT?!" Mikoto yelled in a mix of shock, anger and fright.

[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]

"W-WHAAAT?! Are you telling me that I become more aroused the more I use the Image Eraser?!" Touma yelled out as he held out his right arm.

"Well in your case, I guess that's how it works…." Osamu said sighing.

"You see Touma, with an ability that holds such power like the Image Eraser, there's bound to be some sort of backlash. The more you use this ability, the more true you become to your desires. And I guess that in your cause… you were well… sexually frustrated."

"Wait wait wait, do you seriously expect me to believe this?"

"Think about it Touma. Isn't there a backlash you receive from the Imagine Breaker?" Osamu asked.

"Well, the only thing that comes to mind is my misfortune but I'm not entirely sure if-

"Yes you're right Touma. The reprusssion from wielding the Imagine Breaker is that you experience severe misfortune even though… it was actually the opposite in the past." Osamu confirmed.

"Huh?" Touma said in confusion to last part of Osamu's statement.

"N-nevermind. Either way, do you understand now Touma? With someone like you who is a… bit more than modest around girls. I advise you to steer away from using the Image Eraser only unless you're about to die. Well that's unless of course, you WANT to build a harem to satisfy your desires?" Osamu said laughing loudly.

"N-no you freaking idiot! B-but if what you say is true then yeah, I should probably avoid from using the Image Eraser too often." Touma concluded as he stared at his right hand.

"So… Robert Swallow. Who exactly is this Osamu Yuki?" Stiyl questioned as he lit a cigarette.

"Well, let's just say that he's an old… acquaintance of mine. The two of us both lived in the same world and while we both didn't necessarily like dealing with one another, we formed a sort of political relationship I guess you can say." Swallow said while walking around Stiyl's room.

"Well, how are supposed to find him? Is he just randomly somewhere out there in the world?" Stiyl asked as he felt that this was way in over his head.

"Well, we both got into this world through similar circumstances which I'll explain to you later but he should be following someone else around like how I'm doing to you right now."

"Oh great, that certainly helps. Let's just ask everyone in England if they have some guy stalking them around that no one else can see." Stiyl said sarcastically as he remained a bit frustrated over this absurd predicament.

"Calm down magician, we have to remain positive." Swallow said smiling.

"Huh. I didn't expect you to be that sort of person." Stiyl said legitimately surprised.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, with your tight purple pants and questionably girly taste in shirts and hair, I expected you to be-

"NO! Don't even go there! I do not run that that way! You understand me?!" Swallow said pointing a finger at Stiyl accusingly with a look of pure hatred present on his face.

"…" Stiyl didn't say anything as he walked out of his room, sighing and questioning why the hell he was forced into this predicament.

'What did Osamu mean when he said that... my misfortune was different in the past? Was it worse, better or something else?" Touma said as he stood in front of his dorm.

'Oh yeah, come to think of it, I never checked my cell phone throughout that whole conflict.' Touma thought as he flipped open his cell phone and saw a whopping 70 missed calls, many of which surprisingly coming from Index.

"Oh crap!" Touma said aloud as he read some of the missed calls that came from all of his friends.

"Damn, I guess that somehow, news about me spread." Touma said as he opened the door to his room.

"Yeah, that would happen when you're shown on T.V. flying in England like some weird stunt hero." Said the voice of a certain chibi sized Magic God.

"O-Othinus?!" Touma exclaimed.

"Human? Why are you so surprised? Don't tell me… did you forget that I was a part of this story?!" Othinus yelled out in contempt.

"W-what?! No!" Touma said waving his hands frantically.

'Hmm, is this that the 'Magic God' that Touma saved that 'she' told me about?" Osamu thought humorously.

"Hmph." Othinus grunted.

"W-wait Othinus! What do you mean I was on T.V.?" Touma asked worriedly.

"Turn it on and you'll see."

Touma then quickly turned on the T.V. and the highlight was "BREAKING NEWS! Flying Japanese Boy in England? What the hell is going on in the City of Espers?"

Touma just sighed, muttered "Such misfortune" and went to the bathtub to fall asleep.

'I'll call Index back later. I'm just a bit… too… tired." Touma said as he drifted off to sleep.

"Hey, Queen did you hear about what happened to the Railgun?" A member of Mental Out's clique said.

"She lost her powers and will we taken out of Tokiwadai!" She exclaimed happily.

"I see. That does please me." Misaki said smiling while sipping her tea.

'But something about this seems… off.'
