"Othi-chan, why are you giving me the silent treatment again?"
Kamijou says this sheepishly, trying to look at Othinus.
"You had such a happy look on your face when you returned... I bet you just couldn't help yourself right? Chatting up a girl in this kind of situation... Geez, unbelievable human."
She promptly turned away, refusing to look at Kamijou. Kamijou sighs exasperatedly.
"But... thank you, for coming back..."
Kamijou looks at her surprised, then smiles.
"No matter what happens, we are going to see this through to the end, and it's going to be okay. So, you don't need to worry that I'll abandon you. Were in this together, after all."
"S-stupid human, don't say such misleading things."
Othinus avoids his gaze.
"But you know, it kinda sounds like you missed m-"
The fearsome elbow, returns with a vengeance, stabbing deep into Kamijou's stomach.
"O-or not... Othinus is an strong independent woman after all..."
Kamijou recovers from his assault and speaks.
"A-anyway, how much farther do you think we need to go? Can use your teleportation spell again?"
"Don't you listen! It's not teleportation, I am merely changing the world's position to suit our needs! Geez, why do I even bother explaining things to you? Don't you know even this?"
Othinus said this in annoyance.
"Right, because if I had known I was going to be travelling through the snowy plains of Denmark with a female former magic God who happens to have a superiority complex along with having no problem dressing like an exotic dancer, I would have totally asked Index to tell me all she knew about your magic..."
Kamijou said this instantly without thinking...
He freezes.
"W-wait... Othinus calm down, I didn't mean it, joke! it was a joke!"
Othinus, who gazed with fury at the sweating Kamijou, lunged at him.
"What... the hell..."
Bayloupe, who was crouched in the snow with binoculars, gazed at the scene in front of her in shock.
"What's wrong Bayloupe? Do you see them?"
Floris, who was polishing her spear, asked this. Lancis, who was right next to her, also gave a confused look.
"I see them, but..."
"Well don't keep me in suspense!"
Bayloupe tried to formulate a response.
"The Magic God is... attacking him..."
"Huh?"
Floris and Lancis were completely dumbfounded at that.
"See for yourself..."
Bayloupe passed the binoculars to Floris who caught them with one hand. Placing her spear down, she faces the direction where Bayloupe was looking and...
She couldn't believe what she saw...
The former magic God Othinus, was straddling the boy known as Kamijou Touma. Normally, this would seem as a highly intimate moment between the boy and girl.
This would be the case if... the girl wasn't slapping the boy across the face.
And then, as if the rage had passed, she got off the boy and turned the other way. Kamijou Touma, who was still on the ground looking quite dead, could only attempt to get up.
"Still being an idiot, like always..."
Floris lowered the binoculars and gave them back to Bayloupe.
"Still hold a grudge against him for the train ride, Floris? he he he!"
Lancis says this in a teasing voice.
"Of course I do, that idiot almost got us killed, oh yeah... I still haven't payed him back for that..."
A sinister grin made its way onto Floris' face.
Bayloupe sighs at her team's antics, then gazes at the duo one more time through her binoculars.
"Well, I think it's safe to say that their not armed, so capturing them should be a piece of cake. Even with Lessar sitting this one out, it shouldn't be very hard."
Bayloupe muttered this.
Lessar, who went to see the boy as soon as she found out about what was happening, ended up losing him. So, she was cut off from the rest of the team.
However, after a large bounty was placed on the boy's head, delegated by the English Church, New light couldn't say no to such a delicious offer. Even if Lessar had feelings for the boy.
Floris was the only other person who knew him, if only for a short time, but it's safe to say she has a very negative reaction to him.
"Well... there's no use in waiting, let's get this done. Lancis, is it ready?"
Lancis looked up, and smiled.
"Yes, almost... even with that boy's right hand, he won't be able to intercept the effects of the spell."
Lancis, who was working on a traditional spell that the members of New Light all were familiar with, could only giggle in anticipation for what's to come.
Bayloupe turned towards the girls.
"Alright... let's make some music..."
"Othinus, are you still mad?"
"...No."
"Are you sure, because I really am sorry..."
"I am not mad, human..." Othinus, who turned to look at him, gave him a vulnerable look.
"I'm... I'm sorry. Sorry for hurting you..."
Othinus quickly looked away from the boy, her cheeks aflame.
Kamijou sighed at her behavior, then smiled. Othinus who refused to look at him kept walking in silence.
"Huh?"
A bundle of warmth reached around her neck.
Kamijou, who was behind her, removed his scarf and placed it on her, wrapping it snugly around her neck.
Behind a shocked Othinus, Kamijou spoke in a low voice.
"I'll say it as many times as it takes. I will not leave you, Othinus. Anybody else in my situation would do the same thing. I'll make sure you can smile once again. So no matter how spoiled or selfish you get, I won't start to hate you for it. That's just not possible. I am your understander after all."
Kamijou finishes his handiwork and comes beside Othinus once again.
Othinus, who's heart was warm enough to make her forget about the cold, could only smile next to the boy.
Then, she latched onto the boy's arm.
"W-what, Othinus?" Kamijou was surprised at this action.
"You said you won't hate me if I act a little selfish right... so, let me do this."
"R-right!"
Othinus smiled at the boy's flustered state.
She then whispered...
"But you're wrong... you're the only one who would be this kind to someone like me... human..."
"Did you say something?"
"Not at all human!"
They continued to walk.
"La... la... la..."
A voice rang out, accompanied by a melodic tune. Kamijou and Othinus stopped suddenly, straining their ears to listen.
"What... is that?"
Kamijou muttered.
Othinus however, had a pale face.
"Seiðr..."
"Huh... seeder, what's that?"
"No, Seiðr, it's a magical spell that allows you to cast illusions! Quick cover your ears!"
Kamijou tried to do exactly that, however, his body wouldn't allow this action. He felt sluggish, like everything was moving in slow motion.
The melody around him increased in intensity causing his ears to ring and vision to fade
... Then...
Everything went black…
"O...thi...nus...
Kamijou awoke in complete darkness.
There was nothing as far as he could see.
And... this terrified him.
"What the hell?, did she take me... ba... ck?"
He quickly dismissed the thought.
"No, Othinus lost her powers, and... we were just hit with some magical attack, so that's what this is... I think, speaking of which, where is she?"
No matter where he looked, Othinus was not with him.
"Either she was captured or she is in a similar instance as me... I just need to find a way out."
Kamijou starts to walk forward, thinking of a strategy.
"Well, this 'world' is a form of magic, so I should be able to negate it. But how?"
With a realization, Kamijou touches his head. Then groans.
"Hahh... such misfortune..."
Naturally, something this easy didn't work.
Just as he was about to try to walk in a random direction...
A bright flash of light filled the room. And then appearing before him...
"Index..."
The person was indeed Index.
"Index, how are you here? Are you okay? are you..."
Kamijou stopped suddenly as he looked at Index's eyes. They were white.
Then... she spoke.
"Why did you betray us Touma..."
Kamijou stiffened in shock.
Then, more bright flashes went through the room.
"Why did you leave me..."
"I can't believe you would do this to your family..."
"How could you do this to us..."
More people he knew appeared all around him.
The voices overlapped in spite.
He could only grit his teeth and bear the harsh reality of his decision, what he did...
"I know you are not them. I know that... but you are all absolutely right... what I did... I have no right for you to forgive me..."
Kamijou lowered his head.
The faux figures smiled in satisfaction.
"However! Are you telling me that I should have abandoned her!"
Kamijou looked up and screamed into the abyss-like world.
"Are you telling me that there is no redemption for a girl like her!"
He started to walk forward to the first figure, Index, who now had an expression of unease.
"You all can hate me for what I've done! You can spit on me and curse me out... and that will be fine because, my feelings shouldn't have even mattered in the first place! I didn't do this because I wanted something in return!"
And then, he reached a hand towards Index. This caused her to reel back in terror.
"If I can do this, if I can cause a beautiful smile to bloom on her face in pure happiness, then... it was all worth it."
Kamijou touched Index's head with his right hand, a massive sound of breaking glass resounded through the void filled room.
"I know you can't hear me Index... but, I'll be back soon, and we'll go play somewhere when I do..."
Index disappeared, as well as the other aberrations, but Kamijou could of sworn Index was smiling when she left.
Kamijou looked around him, the dark space distorting.
"No matter what they throw at me, no matter who they send. It is not going to stop me from saving her!"
Kamijou yelled these words into the air as his vision began to darken once again.
"I will reach the ending where no one dies!"
Othinus was sitting next to a campsite, hands bound.
She was currently surrounded by three girls. She knew these girls, however not personally. The girls made up the group of New light. The club-like group that operated in London, England.
Bayloupe, Lancis, and Floris had cast a musically enhanced spell. This spell was known as Seidr. Casting illusions to the intended target. Mainly nightmares and the victim's worst fears were broadcasted in the person's mind. The intended target however, was not Othinus, but Kamijou Touma.
Speaking of the boy, he was sitting next to Othinus, body slumped forward in the snow. His eyes were open, and he was breathing, however, they had a dead look to them. So very different from the usual gleam of energy they always seemed to have.
Othinus, who was very worried for her companion, finally spoke up.
"What did you do to him! And why just him!"
The girls all looked in Othinus's direction, however it was Floris who spoke up.
"Not that it's any of your business, but we know all about that boy's exploits. He has intercepted countless incidents, inside and outside of Academy City."
Floris began to get closer to Othinus.
"His mindset, one that causes him to never give up. That unrelenting will of his is dangerous... so... if we take away that part of him... he'll just become unresponsive and compliant. We could probably overpower him physically, but this way is more efficient."
Floris said this smugly.
"This way, we'll have no problem getting him back to England for our reward! Ha Ha Ha Ha!"
Floris laughed in glee at their triumph.
"Right now, that boy is probably breaking inside. I don't know what he is seeing, but this spell is...very effective. One might even call it... hell..."
Floris erupted into another fit of giggles, however was interrupted by Othinus' own laughter.
All the girls, Bayloupe and Lancis included, looked at Othinus.
"What's funny? Do you really not see the reality of this situation? When he wakes up, if he even does at all, he'll just be a shard of his former self, do you understand that? He won't even remember who you are!"
Lancis interjected with that.
Othinus, who had a somber look in her eyes, replied in a low voice.
"It's just funny... You three... have no idea what I put him through, do you? What-ever half assed magic that he is dealing with in his mind, is nothing to compared to the horrors that I subjected him to. Do your worst to him... and he'll surprise you every time. So that being the case, it's just a matter of waiting."
Othinus said these words in certainty.
"What are you talking abo-"
And then, as if on cue, they all heard a groan...
All four girls turned to the boy, who's eyes were quivering slightly.
"T-that's not possible..."
Lancis, Floris, and Bayloupe all muttered the same thing.
Othinus smiled. The resolve of this boy wouldn't be shaken from something silly like a nightmare.
Kamijou slowly opened his eyes. He looked at his situation around him, at New Light, and then Othinus.
"I knew you would wake up hum-"
"Huh? W-what the hell is this situation! Three girls surrounding me, ... dressed in lacrosse uniforms? Oh? I am also tied up ... oh no...It c-can't be... I KNEW IT! I SHOULD HAVE NEVER MENTIONED HER NAME!!! Where is she! Where is Lessar! Wait a minute! You, with the silver hair, send me back in! Put me back in the nightmare, torture me more! Anything but this!"
Kamijou nodded to Bayloupe, as he was still tied up.
She stuttered in response.
"Y-you want to go back?"
He nodded vigorously.
"Yes! Please God above! I'm not about to be assaulted by Lessar look-alikes ... wait Othinus?"
Kamijou looked where she was sitting to his right.
Her face was clearly shocked by his ridiculous outburst. She wanted to voice her frustrations, but before she could respond...
"Othinus! Oh my God! Did they do something to you? Everything is going to be okay! It won't count as your first time! It's a mental thing alright... wait, aren't you a God, are you still a virg-"
"HUMAN SHUT UP!"
"Yes ma'am..."
The three members of New light could only stand there in silence.
"I'm very sorry. When I saw three little girls that looked like Lessar, I got scared... thank god... "
Kamijou apologized to the three girls. After some explanation of his situation, Kamijou eventually calmed down.
He found out that this group was called New Light, which happened to be Lessar's group.
"So... your Lessar's teammates huh?"
His eyes traveled to each girl in turn causing them so avoid his gaze.
"S-shut up boy, that's not important. And stop giving us that lewd gaze!"
Floris spoke up, annoyed.
"Lewd? Who is the lewd one? Are you tied up, waiting to be assaulted by three little girls! Hey! Wait a minute... I know you! You're that girl from the train!"
Floris, who was addressed, looked totally disgusted that she was recognized.
"Yes, I am, the name is Floris, what of it?"
Kamijou looked surprised that she introduced herself.
"Huh? Oh, I was just glad you got to safety. I was worried you had been captured."
Now it was Floris' turn to be surprised.
"I'm also sorry I pushed you out of that train. Had I known you were Lessar's teammate, I would have treated you with a lot more respect."
"And why is that? We were your enemies at that time and even now..."
Kamijou looked confused at that question.
"Even if you ask me why... I just knew you weren't bad people, and there's no reason we have to stay enemies... Lessar, after she delivered Curtana Original, she told us some very important info. This info allowed me to save Index and the others. So, personally, I want to thank you and your team for that." He said this seriously not breaking his gaze from either of them.
Completely oblivious to the shocked faces, he kept speaking.
"Besides, with you, Floris, when we got out of the river, you didn't try to attack me at all, even when I did something so reckless, putting your life in danger. So, I apologize and, thank you..."
He bowed his head, while still sitting.
Bayloupe, Floris, and Lancis didn't know how to take this situation. This boy... the one known as Kamijou Touma, did not know conceit, hatred or malice. He has experienced so much suffering and yet... he is still like this. Even after hearing so many things from Lessar, they couldn't quite grasp it, the heart of this boy.
They stayed silent.
Floris, was fidgeting in uncomfortability as she avoided the gaze of the boy.
Lancis and Bayloupe were of a similar mindset.
Someone else interjected...
"If your quite done flirting human..."
Kamijou did a spit take, as he looked to his right.
"F-flirting, who was flirting! Me? What did you get out of that conversation to think I was flirting!?!"
Kamijou yelled this at the pouting Othinus.
Bayloupe, Floris, and Lancis all sputtered in surprise.
"Besides... flirting requires actual attraction to be there, right?. As you can see, there are no dorm manager onee-sans present. All I see are little girls... plus, who would like a guy like me?"
Kamijou emphasized the word 'little', then adding to his density, revealed his honest thoughts.
Annoyance flashed through all four girls. A dark aura was surrounding the unlucky Kamijou from all sides.
"W-what is this atmosphere?"
The girls of New Light attacked without mercy.
Suffice to say... Kamijou was hit. A lot...
"Back on topic, how did you escape from our spell?"
Bayloupe, after much deliberation, asked this question.
Kamijou, who was suffering from a massive headache, answered honestly.
"I just touched the illusions with my hand. Once they disappeared, I woke up."
"No you stupid boy! Your hand had nothing to do with it, wasn't it pure mental torture? Didn't you suffer?"
After a long silence, Kamijou replied.
"Of course I did..."
Kamijou's disheartened tone caught them off guard.
"Of course it was painful, being reminded of..." He trailed off, however looked into their eyes.
"But...it was even more painful to think of leaving Othinus by herself. So, there was no other option but to escape."
Othinus's heart warmed at that.
"Human..."
Bayloupe, Lancis, and Floris looked at the boy. They just couldn't understand.
They couldn't see the reason, the resolve, or the motivation of this boy. This stupid idiotic boy, who is a complete amateur in all things magic related. This boy, who is a little bit older than them, put his own selfish desires aside and shielded a terrorist from the rest of the world, because why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
"Why..."
Lancis involuntarily muttered.
Kamijou looked confused.
"Why what?"
Lancis, who had been purposefully quiet, voiced her honest thoughts about the enigma in front of her.
"Why are you doing this! Why you of all people! The one without any knowledge or experience! The one without any plans, strategies, or trump cards besides one defensive ability! Why are you so hellbent on helping this Magic God that you'd risk your life for her! It was my understanding that you were against her from the start... so what changed?!?"
Lancis slowly began to get more angry with her questioning. Kamijou, still bounded and sitting on the cold snow, realized the serious situation. However...
"Hahhh... Why does everyone always ask me that?"
Lancis, Floris, and Bayloupe blinked. Othinus smiled.
Kamijou looked at the snow.
"Why... do I need one?"
He looked up at them, eye's gleaming a vibrant blue.
"Why do I need a reason to save someone that is crying out for help? Why is it so important for me to have conditions and requirements in order to reach out my hand? If I see someone suffering and I wish they weren't, then that is my own selfish desire to want them to be saved. And when that happens... when that person can truly smile because of the normal life they can go back to... then that's my reason."
He looked at Othinus who's expression was embarrassed.
"I will save Othinus from the fate of her own doing. I will save her from herself. I will save her
from you, and whoever else comes. The level 5's, the Saints, The World leaders, The militaries, and... even my own friends. But... I will not kill anyone, and no one else will suffer. Death is an ending no one wants after all..."
Kamijou finished with a boyish smile.
The girls of New Light, who's general goal was to be proper and beautifu, women, couldn't have any feeling except for awe for the boy and his ideals
"Gahh! Geez, this boy!"
Bayloupe walked over to Kamijou with a stern expression.
"Listen, Kamijou Touma. I'm going to make you a deal..."
"What kind of deal?"
Kamijou asked this, curious.
"The original plan was for us to bring you out to England, and collect our reward for your capture. But honestly, I was hesitant to even come here at all because Lessar would never forgive me."
She said this in a tired tone.
"Here is the condition; beat me in a one on one duel, and we'll let you walk away..."
"Bayloupe!"
Lancis and Floris looked surprised at this.
"Calm down you two, do you really want to be on Lessar's bad side. Do remember the school swimsuit, Lancis..."
Lancis shivered at the memory.
Not wanting to open up wounds that should be locked away, Kamijou changed the subject.
"Are you sure? That's awfully kind of you, Bayloupe, was it?"
"I-I'm not doing it for you, it's for Lessar!"
Bayloupe angrily retorted this.
"Right... then I accept."
Othinus spoke up.
"Human, are you sure?"
Kamijou reassured Othinus with a nod.
"Yes, don't worry, I got this Othinus."
Kamijou turned his head towards Bayloupe, who was untying him.
"What are the rules of the duel?"
"Hmmm... seeing as I could easily annihilate you with my spear... Hand to hand combat...if someone is unable to keep fighting or they give up, they lose. And naturally, Othinus will remain contained. Are you good with that?"
Kamijou nodded reluctantly, then thought of something.
"But, is it okay to hit you though?"
Bayloupe looked at him in confusion.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, um, since your- you know, a girl?
Harsh glares stabbed into Kamijou from all angles
"W-wait! That's not what I meant! I've fought girls before, however I just wanted to he sure, um, so, let's go."
Kamijou got up from his spot on the ground, and headed to where Bayloupe was standing.
With a few meters apart, they readied themselves. Bayloupe had a relaxed stance with her arms up. She looked very composed. Kamijou, on the other hand, who had no other knowledge of fights besides street brawls, just fixed his footwork to a crouched stance.
"Let's see if your actions can back up all your talk, boy..."
And with that, the second battle to save a single girl commenced.
Bayloupe kicked off the ground at insane speeds and rushed at Kamijou. Once near, she kicked a leg at Kamijou's shins, hitting them directly. Kamijou exerted a groan and moved to avoid her other leg as it flew past him. Dodging under it, he jabbed his fist into her stomach, causing her reel back, gasping for air.
"Not bad..."
That's all she said as she jumped at him with a flying scissor kick, latching onto his shoulders and pulling him down to the snow. Once she had him grounded, she leapt to his stomach, delivering a punch- however Kamijou rolled out of the way, immediately springing to his feet.
He then launched an attack of his own, rushing to her with a clenched fist, and delivering a blow aimed at her solar plexus. Already prepared, she caught the fist and threw him over his shoulder. His back hitting snow, he let out a pained grunt as she twisted his arm, then delivering a kick to his gut.
"Gah!"
Clutching his stomach with a pained expression, Kamijou quickly got up. Bayloupe was on him in an instant, fists flying towards his chest and face. He was able to block one to his face, however, one hit him solidly across the cheek. He stumbled back a few steps only to receive a flying heel kick to the chest, knocking him on his back.
"Hah... hah... hah..."
Breathing heavily, Kamijou got up again.
Bayloupe asked a question with a smug smile.
"Wanna give up?"
Kamijou, with bruises on his face and lower body only smiled. Then he wheezed out...
"There is no way... in hell, I'm giving up..."
Bayloupe's smile vanished, and launched herself at Kamijou once more.
Kamijou didn't move.
(Is he really not capable as he is right now?)
Bayloupe vanishes these thoughts and sent a fist to Kamijou's face. Kamijou put his arms up in a cross to block it. Bayloupe then tried to sweep under his legs knocking him off balance, she succeeded, causing him to land on his side, in the snow. Taking advantage of the opportunity, she sharply delivers a kick to his side.
However... Kamijou catches it on the ground. He then pushes her leg off and gets back up.
She gazes at the serious eyes of the boy and grins.
"There we go! That look is more like it!"
Bayloupe dashes at him preparing another punch, but Kamijou gets closer first, sending a punch to her arm, then a kick to her stomach. Bayloupe is knocked backwards a few feet. Kamijou doesn't let up. He sprints towards her and delivers a punch to her face, she catches it, proceeding to toss him again, but instead, Kamijou pulls his fist back, pulling Bayloupe with him, and lands a clean hit on her jaw with his left fist.
She is knocked onto the snow in a rolling fashion.
"He finally got a solid hit! Against Bayloupe!"
Lancis and Floris were very inventive to the fight, shocked at the battle. Othinus was looking on quietly, but only looking at the fearless grin on the boy's face. She couldn't help but blush a little.
Bayloupe, after recovering from the punch, wiped her mouth of blood, spitting out as much as she can.
"Nice...But that's the only one you get!"
She ran towards him and sent a barrage of kicks and punches his way. Kamijou was able to dodge and block them without taking any serious damage. He then made a jab at her stomach, which was blocked, then hastily spun around to arc his fist to her face. It was again deflected, and Kamijou was pushed back.
Bayloupe rushed at him, and kicked a pile of snow in his face... and vaulted over his shoulder. Vision distorted, he couldn't see the attack behind him.
Bayloupe, smiled in glee as she prepared a deadly jab to his neck. However, Kamijou didn't bother turning around. Bayloupe was confused, but chose not to question it as she launched her lightning fast fist.
Kamijou just stood there, and at the last second… as if there was a strange sense guiding his movement, almost like precognition, he dodged to the left, seeing the fist come past his face, he then grabbed the small fist and pulled it forward, sending a quick elbow into the unsuspecting girl's stomach.
Keeled over, Bayloupe tried to retreat, however Kamijou was faster. He grappled Bayloupe's torso and threw her backwards, however not causing her to fall, then to deal the final blow, he pulled his hand back into a fist and rushed her.
Bayloupe was disoriented, not prepared for Kamijou's punch, so she tried to catch the punch.
Kamijou, running on pure adrenaline, tried to push further to break her guard, he pushed his hand through her block, then yanked it back to push it towards her solar plexus with an open hand strike.
He made contact with-
"Kyah!"
"..."
(Huh? Kya?)
Kamijou looked at where his hand landed.
"Such misfortune…"
Right at her chest. It doesn't even need to be said what he touched.
Kamijou quickly yanked his hand back.
"Bayloupe, I-I-I'm so sorry, I had absolutely no intention of... Bayloupe?"
Bayloupe had turned away from Kamijou, muttering something.
"... first time... out of all people..."
"Uh... Bayloupe?"
Bayloupe turned towards Kamijou with a red face, and a voice scarcely beyond a whisper, she said...
"I-I give up... y-you win..."
Then she walked towards Lancis, Floris, and, Othinus, who had looks of disbelief on their faces.
Not because of what Kamijou did, obviously they were both in the heat of the moment, it truly was an accident. However, Bayloupe's girlish cry and red face.
Kamijou could only nod dumbly at this declaration and went to join the other girls.
(Where the hell did that come from?)
Kamijou could only wonder.
"A-as per our agreement, y-you are free to go..."
Bayloupe removed Othinus' binds and let them go, as promised, but...
"Bayloupe, are you really okay? I am very sorry... Is there anything I can do?"
Kamijou, who couldn't handle the bright pink atmosphere the silver haired girl was emitting, asked desperately.
"No-no, it's fine. I understand it was an accident. And even without... that thing... I'm sure you would have won, so it's fine."
Bayloupe flipped her hair, trying to sound professional.
"I see..."
Kamijou said this with a nervous sweat. Othinus, besides him, was still looking at him like he was garbage.
"Othinus, it was an accident!"
"Sure, I believe you..."
"I don't think you do!"
"Hey... boy, er Kamijou Touma."
Kamijou was arguing with Othinus when the two other girls of New Light approached.
Kamijou looked at them.
Floris and Lancis both gave each other looks of acknowledgement.
"So, Lessar gets really lonely, and well, she likes to hang out with you so, make sure you visit sometime soon... preferably before you return home."
Lancis muttered that last part.
"I understand, Lancis, Floris... wait what was that last part?"
"Nothing!"
She immediately denied saying anything.
Then Floris quickly let out...
"Anyway... don't die, you gotta prove that you went past us for a reason, so don't you dare fail, alright?"
Kamijou smiled.
"You got it, thank you girls..."
He looked at Lancis and Floris, and then at Bayloupe who was staring at him intently. When she was caught, she turned around in a huff.
"As usual, girls are confusing... well see ya guys later. We will meet again, I promise."
Kamijou waved one last time, then with Othinus beside him, he continued to walk. He stumbled however, his bones aching from the fight.
"S-so sore... such misfortune."
Kamijou berated his bad luck as he continued to walk. However, a slender white hand grabbed his arm and pulled it over her shoulder.
"O-othinus?"
"I-if it's just this much, I can do it..."
"Thank you, I appreciate it."
Othinus was startled by these words of appreciation, so she hastily said...
"Of course! I am a God after all!"
Kamijou laughed and smiled. Othinus, seeing this, also smiled.
Then, once Kamijou looked away, she snuck a glance at his face.
(You looked very cool today... human...)
A/N: LETS GOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! We're done bois! Chapter three in the bag! I'm so dead inside, so I am going to sleep. good night.
Don't be mad that Kamijou didn't win, okay, don't be mad. There is nothing wrong with a cliche, especially when Kamijou performs the cliche. Yuuki Rito is not allowed to perform cliches. He has been banned. Ever since that show turned into 'fanservice the anime'. We don't talk about that...
Alright... so... For the next chapter. Mugino is hard to write, read A certain unknown level zero fanfic if you want to see them seriously go at it. Maybe Frenda, yes I know she's *sob* no she's not ..., anyway, next there can be Musijime or Shirai, don't know how that will work. Um, Styil, maybe? Anyway, I'll decide.
Please Review if you liked it. Let's me know I'm not just writing for myself.
Hope you have a great day!
