"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang …" In the early morning of July 20th, a series of soft noises suddenly rang out in the quiet night sky.
"Phew, it's finally here." Upon hearing the noises, Sei Itō opened his eyes abruptly and gently exhaled the foul air in his body as he murmured to himself in a relieved voice. Before Inticus appeared, Sei Itō was really afraid that because of his actions, Inticus would no longer appear in the academy city, or even appear in the academy city instead of outside Kamijou Touma's dormitory.
"Looks like the hanged man is very confident in his plan, especially the key to the plan," Sei Itō thought as he put his legs down from the bed, stood up from the bed, and walked to the balcony.
Then, Sei Itō took out the mobile phone that had been modified into a nanomachine control terminal. He called up the control interface and used his own nanomachines that had been mixed into the suspension circuit to send out false signals to provide camouflage and protection for his subsequent actions.
After that, Sei Itō activated the nanomachines' camouflage and used his Psychokinesis to transport Inticus, who had just been hanging outside Kamijou Touma's dormitory for less than a second, to his balcony. Fortunately, at this time, Inticus had already fainted due to the impact of the fall and the hunger in his abdomen. He did not realize that his position had changed.
"Now, all that's left is to wait for the morning." After everything was done, Sei Itō turned off the camouflage effect of the nanomachines, and sent the correct image information back to Aleister. He looked at Inticus hanging on the balcony through the glass window.
Then, he ignored Inticus, turned around, and went straight back to his bed to lie down. He closed his eyes and rested. It was not until a few hours later when the sky was completely bright that he woke up from his sleep.
After a simple shower, Sei Itō walked to the balcony and reached out to open the glass door that was used to partition the balcony.
"Hmm …" Hearing the sound of the balcony door opening, Inticus woke up from a deep sleep. He looked up at Ito Sei, who was standing on the balcony with hazy eyes.
At this moment, an extremely loud and strange sound came from Inticus' stomach.
"I'm so hungry," Inticus said.
"It's a living person!?" Sei Itō purposely put on a surprised expression when he heard Inticus's words.
"I'm so hungry," Inticus said to himself, completely ignoring Sei Itō's surprise. However, compared to the previous sentence, Inticus used the last of his strength to climb down from the balcony's railing and fell to the ground.
"Yes, yes, I heard you. You're hungry. "Sei Itō said. He walked slowly to Inticus, bent down, and lifted her up from the ground. Then, he turned around and returned to the room. He took the food he had brought back yesterday and handed it to Inticus.
"Thank you very much. You're such a good person! " Immediately, Inticus, who was in a good state, thanked him with a happy smile. Then, he reached out to take the food, opened the packaging, and started eating.
"I'm going to eat!" Inticus said vaguely.
"That's right, I still have to introduce myself first." After eating half of the food, Inticus knelt in front of Sei Itō and said, "My name is Inticus. As you can see, I've joined a church, but I'm not from the Vatican. I'm from the British Puritanism."
After listening to Inticus's introduction, Sei Itō pretended to be confused and asked, "Alright, Inticus. Can you tell me why you were hanging on my balcony?"
"I fell down … I was being chased. I was hit in the back when I tried to jump to the roof of the opposite house …" Inticus said with a gloomy expression, "It's because I'm part of the [Index of Forbidden Books]. I think it's because of the 103,000 grimoires I have on me."
"It's because of you?" Sei Itō pretended to be confused.
"It's the magic society," Inticus said matter-of-factly.
"Huh?" Sei Itō looked at Inticus speechlessly and made some incomprehensible sounds. He paused for a moment before continuing, "Let's not talk about the magic society that's full of street magicians. Let's talk about the 103,000 grimoires. Do you really know what 103,000 grimoires represent? Even if each grimoire is only three centimeters thick, eighteen centimeters long, and eight centimeters wide, 103,000 grimoires are enough to fill a container. It's not something a small person like you can carry around. "
"So, little friend, let's stop joking around."
"It's not street magic, it's magic! And the 103,000 grimoires are indeed on me, "Inticus said.
"Alright, it's not street magic, it's magic. Then, can you, Miss Nun, who has 103,000 grimoires, demonstrate the magic you're talking about?" Sei Itō continued to pretend that he knew nothing about magic.
"Sorry, I can't perform magic because I don't have mana," Inticus said softly.
"If you can't perform magic, how do you expect me to believe you, Little Nun?" Sei Itō looked at Inticus from the corner of his eyes.
"Magic does exist, magic does exist, it exists, it exists, it exists …" Inticus, who couldn't think of a way to prove that what he said was true, suddenly lay down on the floor. Like a child who didn't get the toy he wanted, he slammed his limbs on the floor and whined coquettishly while hitting the floor.
"Yes, yes, yes, magic exists. Magic is very magical. Not only can you create something out of nothing, you can also make bread out of a billboard for yourself to eat, and make a fresh drink out of an empty bottle for yourself to drink. It's omnipotent." Sei Itō, who was covering his ears with both hands to reduce the noise, hurriedly said. However, the magic he mentioned sounded like a street magic show.
"Hmph, you're in the world of superhumans, but you don't believe in magic …" Inticus, who had sat up again, puffed up his cheeks.
"If you want me to believe you, show me proof. Any form will do!" Sei Itō said when he saw that Inticus had calmed down.
"Ugh …" Inticus, who was still sulking with her head lowered, let out a low moan. However, her expression soon changed, and she immediately stood up from the floor. She turned around and ran into the kitchen. Then, she ran back into the room with a kitchen knife in her hand.
"Uh … What are you doing?" Sei Itō pretended to be shocked and asked.
"I'm going to stab you." Inticus said with the knife in her hand. Then, she put her right hand on her chest and introduced, "This dress is the lowest requirement for a member of the Church of Fashion Design. It also contains the painstaking efforts of the Church of Fashion Design! Whether it's the weaving method, the sewing method, or the drawing method of the embroidery pattern, everything has been carefully calculated. Therefore, the texture of this cloth is exactly the same as Turin's Cloth of Holy Bones. Its strength is also on par with the Pope's. Even if you're shot or stabbed with a knife, you won't be damaged! "
Then, Inticus stuffed the kitchen knife into Sei Itō's hand and said, "So, here, feel free to stab me in the stomach with this knife!"
Sei Itō, who had tossed the kitchen knife on the bed, quickly shook his head and said, "Forget about it. I don't want to become a juvenile delinquent because of your whim."
Before Inticus could turn around to get the kitchen knife, Sei Itō said, "But if what you said is true, I have a way to verify it."
"Hmm?" Inticus, who had stopped what he was doing, looked at Sei Itō with a puzzled expression.
"I have a friend called Kamijou Touma. His right hand has the ability to destroy all fantasies. So, as long as he touches your clothes, he will be able to verify if what you said is true," Sei Itō explained.
"How can such an ability exist?!" Inticus said in disbelief.
"His ability is definitely real. I've seen it before. So, if you insist that what you said is true, let him verify it for me!" Sei Itō said with a serious expression.
"Okay, just ask him to come. Whether it's true or not, it won't be able to destroy the Church on me," Inticus said confidently with his head held high.
Seeing that Inticus had agreed, Sei Itō did not hesitate. He immediately took out his phone and dialed Kamijou Touma's number.
"Ah Cheng, what's the matter?" Soon, Kamijou Touma's voice came from the phone.
"There's something I need your help with. So, please come to my dorm first. Don't worry, it won't take up much of your time, "Sei Itō said.
"Okay then. Wait a moment, I'll be there right away," Kamijou Touma agreed and immediately ended the call.
"I've already asked him to come over. He'll be here in less than two minutes," Sei Itō, who had also ended the call, said to Inticus while looking at him.
Sure enough, one and a half minutes later, Kamijou Touma's figure appeared in Sei Itō's dorm.
"Ah Cheng, what do you want me to help you with?" Kamijou Touma asked loudly as he took off his shoes at the entrance and walked into the room. Then, he stopped in his tracks and quickly ran to Sei Itō's side. With his back facing Inticus, he moved his head close to Sei Itō's ear and whispered, "Hey, why is there a little girl in your room? You didn't do something shameful and want me to help you clean up the aftermath, right?"
"F * ck you. What are you thinking? Do you think that everyone is lolicon like you?" Sei Itō pushed Kamijou Touma away when he heard that. He said angrily, "But the thing I asked you to do does have something to do with her …"
"She said there's magic in this world. Yes, it's the kind of magical magic in novels. I don't believe it, so I asked her to prove it to me. She couldn't prove it, but she said that the clothes she was wearing were some kind of spiritual equipment, which roughly means magical equipment in the game. So, I thought that since it's a fantasy item, your right hand should be able to handle it, so I called you over, "Sei Itō explained to Kamijou Touma why he was called over.
