When Zuo Tianlei opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the bright sunshine.
"Whew … .what a good sleep …."
She sat up from the bed and stretched her body. Then, she clenched her fists.
"Okay, I'll work hard today!"
While humming a song, Zuo Tianlei changed her clothes and got out of bed. Today was the summer vacation, which meant she could train in the research institute 24/7. Zuo Tianlei felt that she had grasped the key to a breakthrough, and it was only a matter of time before she broke through!
"The weather's so good, why don't I dry my quilt?"
Zuo Tianlei looked at the clear sky and dazzling sunlight outside. She hugged the quilt and opened the door to the balcony while humming a song.
Then … .she saw a girl lying on the balcony railing as if she had fainted.
"… .Huh?"
Zuo Tian Lei couldn't help but be stunned by this unimaginable scene. He stared blankly at this scene and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Could it be that he was still dreaming?
No, no, she should be up by now … .but why is there someone hanging here?
And the girl isn't wearing a student uniform, but a nun's uniform. Is this cosplay? If Zuo Tianlei remembered correctly, there was no church in the school city.
"Ugh …."
While Zuo Tianlei's imagination was running wild, the girl moaned softly and slowly opened her eyes.
Wow, so cute.
Zuo Tianlei couldn't help but sigh when she saw the fair cheeks and green eyes. Then, the girl lifted her head, stared at the tears, and said.
She said, "I'm hungry."
"… .Huh?"
"I'm hungry," the girl repeated.
The girl repeated. This time, Teardrop could hear the dissatisfaction in the girl's voice. Since she was hungry ….
"Hmm … .then, do you want to have breakfast together?"
Zuo Tianlei scratched her cheek and invited the girl in front of her with a smile.
"Ahhhhhh …."
She can really eat ….
Although Lei Zi was the one who invited her for breakfast, Lei Zi's heart skipped a beat when he saw the young girl gulping down her food. It was hard for her to imagine how someone with a body that looked no different from a toddler could eat so much …
"Um, do you want another bowl?"
"Another bowl, please!"
"…"
After eating two rice cooker meals in a row, the nun dressed girl finally breathed a sigh of relief and seemed to be revived. Then, she faced Zuo Tianlei Zi and bowed respectfully.
"Thank you so much. My name is Index. As you can see, I'm a clergyman. Ah, not the Vatican, but the English Puritan system."
"Ah, is that so …?"
Zuo Tianlei didn't know what to say to the girl's self-introduction. Her mind was filled with aerodynamic equations, and she couldn't find any religious knowledge.
"Yes, my magic name is Dedicatus545. The specific meaning is the sacrificial lamb protecting the knowledge of the strong."
"What's … your magic name?"
Zuo Tianlei was completely dumbfounded. But soon, her eyes lit up and she looked at Index.
"Ah, could it be that you're a magical girl?"
"Eh? No, no, no, I'm a mage. "
"So you know how to use magic? Then you're a magical girl. Can you transform? "
"Transformation … … No, this … … this isn't the same."
Hearing Zuo Tianlei's words, Inteca widened her eyes in confusion like a kitten. Sensing that the two of them didn't have a common topic in this regard, Zuo Tianlei Zi quickly changed the topic.
"By the way, how did you end up on my balcony?"
"Ah, that's because I wanted to jump to the roof here, but I accidentally fell down."
"The roof?"
Hearing this, Zuo Tianlei was shocked. Although her apartment wasn't high, such a small child would be injured if she fell from the roof! But thank the heavens, fortunately, she was fine.
"Why did you do such a dangerous thing?"
Zuo Tianlei looked at Intecas and asked, and Intecas quickly answered.
"Because I'm being chased."
"… Eh?"
The word was so surreal that even Zuo Tianlei Zi couldn't react for a while.
"Being chased?"
"That's right. I could have jumped over, but I was hit halfway, so I fell down."
"Wait, you were hit? Are you okay? Should I call an ambulance? "
Zuo Tianlei Zi was so scared that she hurried to Index's side and looked at her from head to toe. Fortunately, she didn't seem to be injured.
"Ah, don't worry about me."
Index proudly raised her hands and showed Zuo Tianlei her cloak.
"This cloak is called the 'Mobile Church'. It's a top-notch defensive barrier. It can easily withstand attacks."
Hmm … Is it the new bulletproof suit from the school city?
Zuo Tianlei Zi looked at Index showing off her cloak with a dumbfounded expression. She didn't know what to say for a while, but soon, she remembered something else.
"By the way, Index, you said you're being chased. Who is it?"
"I don't know."
Indicus shook his head.
"Maybe it's Rose Cross or Golden Dawn. Although I can guess which organization it is, I don't know their names."
"…"
Rose Cross? Golden Dawn?
Is there such an organization in the school city? Zuo Tianlei Zi had heard Shirai Kuroko mention it several times. Could it be that the little girl in front of her was being chased by those hoodlums from the Armed Incompetent Organization? If that's the case, then they've gone too far!
"What are you going to do now? I have a friend who's a disciplinary committee member. Maybe we can ask her to help you … "
"No need."
However, to Zuo Tianlei's surprise, the girl named Index shook her head, stood up, and walked towards the door.
"Wait, where are you going?"
"I'm going to leave this place. If I stay here, those people will come after me. You don't want your room to be blown up, do you?"
"Ugh …"
Zuo Tianlei Zi naturally didn't want that. This was her little nest that she had meticulously arranged.
"But do you have a place to go?"
"No problem."
Intecas nodded vigorously.
"I just need to escape to the church, and I'll be protected."
"Church … There's no church in Gakuen City, right? Where's the church you mentioned? "
"London."
"…"
From Tokyo to London?
Are you kidding me?
"No!"
Seeing that the girl was about to push the door open and leave, Zuo Tianlei Zi suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her hand.
"I can't just watch you leave. Come with me."
"Don't, don't do that. If you go with me, you'll be attacked too!"
"Don't worry, I just said that I have a friend who's a member of the Morals and Discipline Committee. As long as I bring you to the branch of the Morals and Discipline Committee, there shouldn't be a problem. Ah … Right, you can ask Mr. Fangzheng for help!"
Although Zuo Tianlei Zi didn't know Fangzheng's identity, in her impression, Fangzheng's position was obviously higher than Shirai Kuroko's. Zuo Tianlei Zi had seen Fangzheng order the guards and the Morals and Discipline Committee in the previous Fantasy Driver incident, and Shirai Kuroko seemed to have recognized his authority.
Right, I might as well ask Mr. Fangzheng for help. He'll definitely be able to solve this problem!
Thinking of this, Zuo Tianlei Zi made a decision and grabbed Index's hand.
"Come with me, I'll take you to a place where you'll be protected."
"Eh? Eh?! "
One could imagine that when Fangzheng saw Zuo Tianlei pulling Index in, he almost fell off his chair.
"What's going on?"
"Ah, Mr. Fangzheng, good morning, it's like this …"
While speaking, Zuo Tianlei Zi told Fangzheng about what happened in the morning. As Fangzheng listened to Zuo Tianlei Zi's story, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
What the hell is going on!
Logically speaking, shouldn't Indicas be raised like a strand of flax?
Why did she appear in front of Zuo Tianlei Zi's house?
Does this little girl also have a protagonist's halo?
That doesn't make sense. She's not like the guy who pretended to be a pig to eat a tiger. This little girl is just an ordinary powerless person.
Of course, from Zuo Tianlei Zi's story, she obviously didn't know anything about mages. She just thought that Index was attacked by a group of powerless people.
"Hmm …"
After listening to Zuo Tianlei's recount, Fangzheng thought for a moment. But at that moment, he saw Intecas stand up and come in front of him. She knelt on the ground and clasped her hands as though she was praying.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Index from the British Puritan Forbidden Magic Book Catalog. My magic name is Dedicatus545."
"Hmm …"
Staring at the girl, Fangzheng thought for a moment before he spoke.
"INDEX (array, row _ num, [column _ num])?"
"…???"
"Nothing, just an occupational disease. Hmm … Hello, my name is Fangzheng … Get up."
"Thank you very much."
Upon hearing Fangzheng's words, Indicus stood up. At this moment, she finally revealed the aura of a clergyman that matched her. Zuo Tianlei Zi was a little confused. He didn't know why Index bowed to Fangzheng like that just now. Was that a courtesy unique to foreign clergymen?
"Okay, so … you're being hunted down by a mage?"
Asked Fangzheng as he leaned back in his chair and played with the kitten in one hand. Index nodded.
"Yes, I think their target should be the 103,000 Grimoires I have on me."
"…"
Are you sure it's okay for you to tell me so bluntly?
Compared to Fangzheng, Tears was more concerned about another problem.
"Huh? Index, you have 103,000 magic books on you? Are you a metahuman like Frenda? "
Tears knew that with Frenda's ability, it was not a problem for her to carry tens of thousands of magic books …
"No, I'm a mage."
However, Intecas shook her head and denied Tear's guess.
"Huh? A mage? But aren't you a nun? "
Tears was a little confused. In the game she played, the classes of nun and mage were usually separated.
"I'm a mage, and I have all 103,000 magic books memorized in my head."
"Wow … That's amazing …"
Tears could not help but sigh. If she had this ability, she would not have to memorize aerodynamics formulas to death.
"Hehe …"
Perhaps seeing Tear's expression of admiration, Indica also puffed out her chest proudly.
"Solomon's Key, the Nameless Book, the Book of the Dead, and so on. These are all in my head."
"Pfft!"
However, Fangzheng almost spat out a mouthful of water when he heard Indica's smug words.
"You've read the Book of the Dead? The one that belonged to Abdullah Alhazad? "
"Yeah, you know it very well."
"… How did you survive until now with a clear mind?"
This time, Fangzheng was really shocked. Holy shit, I didn't know that there's a world of Cthulhu in the Forbidden World?!
But come to think of it … This world also has the Sea of Chaos, so it's not too surprising that Cthulhu appeared …
"…"
It's better not to dwell on it. It's not good for the mind.
Fangzheng coughed and decided to drop the topic.
"No problem. You can stay here for the time being. Don't worry no matter who's after you. No one will dare to do anything to you here."
Then, he said.
