Styil Magnus woke up.
As he slowly opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the light. More precisely, the light from the street lamp opposite of him..
It was still night.
And instead of lying in the passageway, he realised that he was sitting against the wall in an alley.
He lowered his head and saw the bandage wrapped around his torso.
The magician decided to stand up.
But...
"Oooaahhh..." groaned Styil from the pain as he tried to do that.
"Don't move. You need to rest." said the woman with cold and almost demanding tone.
After she said these words, Styil stopped trying to stand up and looked at the source of the voice.
He saw the feminine figure walking towards him but couldn't recognize her properly since it was very dark. He only recognized her when she was under the glow of the street light.
She had long back hair tied in ponytail and looked like in her early 20s. She wore a white short T-shirt tied into a knot at the bottom, jeans wih one pantsleg cut off and cowboy boots.
She was Styil's partner.
She was...
"Kanzaki-san."
"What happened? Don't tell me that magicians aside of us chases her as well, if you managed to be in this state."
"I managed to find her, but some goddamn "white knight" boy standed up for her and almost killed me."
"Is he a magician?"
"..I don't know. I didn't feel any mana emitting from him, but his power is too strange to be esper."
"Tell me everything. How he was looking, how the fight went and ended. Everything in details."
｢"It was very delicious Kihara-kun! The job of a cook suits you better than a job of a crazy scientist. Right, Index-chan?"｣ said Kamijou with compliment after he put the almost empty plate on the refectory table.
"Wyeah!" agreed Index while she was eating non-stop.
Both were eating fried wings, salad with oil and vinegar, and rice.
"Tsk. I don't wanna hear your shitty recommendation. All I want is that you with that nun get out of my apartment!" said Kihara with aggressive tone while leaning to a wall of the dinner room.
"Touma, maybe we should leave?" asked worriedly Index as she stopped eating.
｢"Don't worry, Index-chan. Kihara-kun is just tsundere and besides, he owes me."｣
"First of all, i'm not freaking "tsundere", you annoying brat! Second of all, I don't owe you anything!
｢"You don't owe me? C'mon Kihara-kun, did you forget that you are alive because of me?"｣
"..Tsk." clicked his tongue the scientist.
He knows that he is alive because of him.
In fact, even #1-rate couldn't allow to do what Kamijou was doing. And it's not the first time when the spiky-haired come here as a "guest". Before Kamijou was doing that, Kihara tried to eliminate him by sending the Hound Dogs troops and some group of espers.
And he failed to do that.
The spiky-haired boy didn't kill him as a punishment. Instead of that, the boy stabbed him with a "special screw". The "special screw" didn't kill Kihara or even physically hurt him, but "it" make him feel to be the most weakest person and wishing for dead as soon as possible.
But it wasn't his "main power". His "main power" was less horrifying than "special screws". Because of that "main power" he was able to defeat all Kihara's mercenaries. The boy's "main power" was so powerful that even #1-rate wouldn't handle.
That is why the scientist service him as a servant right now. Not because he is thankful to him for being alive, but because he is afraid of his "main power", and his "special screw" as well.
"How long are you going to stay here with her?" asked the scientist as he pointer his finger at the silver-haired girl with white nun habit.
｢"Oh, I don't know. Week, maybe?"｣
"...sigh. I will just go to sleep." said Kihara with exhausted tone as he headed to the bedroom.
"Goodnight!" said both Index and Kamijou.
Kihara Amata woke up.
He slowly opened his eyes and glanced at the digital clock which was near to him.
"It's morning...waaahhh" said Amata as he yawned.
Kihara put his digital clock back and looked up at the ceiling.
"...I hope they are gone and never come back.
The scientist very hoped for that. He didn't want his vacation being ruined by these two annoying brats.
But...
His hopes were erased instantly.
｢"Kihaaara-kuuuun! Kihara-kun, wake up! You need to prepare breakfast for me and Index-chan! We are very hungry, so hurry up!" shouted out Kamijou from another room.｣
"...fuck." cursed the misfortunate scientist.
The woman was standing on the roof of the tall building.
She was Kanzaki Kaori.
The reason why she was there was observation of Amata's apartment in opposite building. More precisely, observation of Index, and the spiky-haired boy who defeated her partner. She watched as they waited for something in dinner room.
In her right hand she was holding sheathed Japanese sword over two meters long.
So she wasn't only observing, but preparing.
"Wait, Index. I'm going to save you."
Evening.
A certain spiky-haired boy and the nun was walking alongside each other.
"Touma, where are we going?" asked Index.
｢"To the comic book store, Index-chan. Today is release of new Shonen manga and I want to buy first chapter."｣
"Can we go to eat some food after comic book store?"
｢"Of course! I have Kihara-kun's bank card, so you can eat how much you want."｣
Meanwhile, Kihara Amata felt a chill going down his spine.
"Yeeaaah!" rejoiced Index.
When they came to a major road with 3 lanes in each direction...
Something happened.
More precisely, something wasn't right.
｢"Huh? Where all people?"｣ said confused Kamijou.
The street was empty. No people were walking or cars driving.
Only deep silence.
It was very strange, since it still evening and people would have a lot of time to fall asleep.
While Kamijou was confused, Index felt an icy chill crawl up her spine, just like with red-haired magician. She realized that is work of Opila rune.
A spell that creates an arena that no one enters, except for special targets.
While Kamijou was confused and Index almost paralyzed by fear.
Kanzaki Kaori was watching down at them from the top of a tall building.
She prepared not only catch Index, but also prepared to the fight with spiky-haired boy.
And as soon as she jumped, the start of fight became a matter of time.
Hello everyone! I want to apologize for lack of new chapter in such long time.
The reason was that I had exams and I didn't have time to write new chapter. I hope you will forgive me.
Also, it's time to answer to some reviews:
NotMyFault:I perfectly know that, but still thanks for reminding. In fact, I think wouldn't have write this fic, if he couldn't do that. And about a line: I can use this line against Accel or probably other character. Also, thank you for review.
Xorn:Hmm...beta reader would be a good idea, thank you for this idea and review.
