"Alright, tell me all the troubles in your heart," Seiji said softly with a smile as he patted Indix's head.
"Okay," Indix replied softly with a slightly red face. She was about to tell Sei Itō about herself, but before she could say anything, Sei Itō interrupted her. "Wait!"
"Dangma, are you sure you want to hear what I'm about to say? You should know that after listening to this, you might officially say goodbye to your previous daily life. " Under Indix and Kamijou Touma's puzzled gaze, Ito Sei turned to Kamijou Touma and asked in a solemn voice.
"…" Hearing Ito Sei's inquiry, Kamijou Touma could not help but be silent on the spot.
"I won't watch my friend step into hell while I stand on the ground and do nothing." But soon, Kamijou Touma made a decision and looked at Ito Sei with a serious face.
"Thank you, Dangma," Sei Itō thanked her sincerely.
"Ugh … Don't be like this, you're making me uncomfortable," Kamijou said with goosebumps all over her body. This was the first time she had seen Sei Itō like this.
"It's rare for me to be so touched, but you ruined it," Sei Itō said with a smile as he patted Kamijou's shoulder.
"Alright, you can speak now, Indix," Sei Itō said as he looked at Indix again.
"There was originally only one Cross Sect. Why did it split into so many sects? Do you know why?" Indix didn't directly tell Seiji about her troubles. Instead, she asked a question.
"It's probably because religion was mixed with political factors," Sei Itō first recalled the reason for the split in Catholicism in the Overworld. Then, he guessed.
"Yes," Indix said with certainty. "Because of this, they split and opposed each other. In the end, they fell apart and walked on completely different paths, even though they were all people of the same faith.
"The sects have evolved independently and developed their own characteristics. I belong to the English Puritan Church … Because England is a country where magic is prevalent, witch trials and religious trials are extremely developed in terms of fighting against magicians. Therefore, there's a special unit in the English Puritan Church that researches magic in order to fight against magicians and devises strategies to win. It's called the Church of Necessary Evil, Necessarius, "Inticus explained.
"Necessarius?" Kamijou Touma repeated with a puzzled expression.
"But. Once the enemy of filth is understood. One's soul would be tainted and once one came into contact with a tainted enemy, one's body would be tainted as well. The [Church of Necessary Evil] was a place that took over the job. And the core of it is … "Inticus continued.
"Then the 103,000 volumes of the Book of the Demonic Path?" Sei Itō asked softly.
Kamijou Touma, who had no idea what the 103,000 Book of Witchcraft was, looked at Sei Itō in confusion. However, at this time, no matter if it was Sei Itō. Neither he nor Inticus had the desire to explain himself.
"Yes," Inticus confirmed. Then, he began to explain what magic was. "The so-called magic is something similar to a formula. So, as long as one knows all the magic in the world, one can neutralize all the magic in the world. That's why I had to imbue the 103,000 Book of Witchcraft into my body. "
"Imbue it into your body?" Kamijou Touma looked at Inticus in shock.
"It means to record it in your mind," Sei Itō explained.
"Yes," Inticus agreed.
"I remember you said just now, Inticus, that magic is the common knowledge and knowledge of another world. It's dangerous to the people of this world. Since it's so dangerous, why don't we just burn it? Why do we have to keep it in our mind? "Kamijou Touma asked in confusion.
"What's important isn't the book, but the content. Even if the original book is destroyed, if the content is passed down, then it's meaningless. Moreover, reading the original book is impossible for humans. To be precise, a human's mental strength can't withstand it, "Inticus explained softly to Kamijou Touma.
"Is it because of spiritual power …" Hearing this, Ito Seihara said thoughtfully.
"So, other than sealing them, there's no other way," Inticus continued.
"Doesn't that mean they planted a bomb in your head?!" Kamijou Touma clenched his fists and looked at Inticus. Obviously, Kamijou Touma's righteous heart surged again. He was not going to step into this whirlpool to help Sei Itō. Instead, he was going to step into it with his own will.
"If you learn all the knowledge in the 103,000 Book of Witchcraft, you can overturn everything in the world," Inticus said softly, a little scared.
"Overturn everything in the world? You guys are taking the content in the Book of Witchcraft too seriously. " Sei Itō sneered. Then, he looked at Inticus and asked, "Then let me ask you, can you pull the moon to Earth right now?"
"That would require someone to set up a resonance spell on the moon, as well as a special spiritual equipment to help," Inticus said softly.
"Then you can't, right?" Sei Itō shrugged.
"Yes." Inticus nodded.
"That's why I said you guys are exaggerating the 103,000 Book of Witchcraft too much." Sei Itō shrugged. "Also, your Church of Necessary Evil actually treated you like this. I feel like they're even more annoying than the magician I met before."
"Don't worry. Since I said I'd go to hell with you, I'll definitely do what I said. Also, it's hard to say who's going to hell when the time comes. If they're all like the ones we met yesterday, I can guarantee that we won't be living on the surface forever. Instead, we'll be living in hell, "Sei Itō said with a smile and a firm tone as he patted Inticus's head.
"Yes." Inticus immediately looked like she was about to cry when she heard that.
Sei Itō pressed Inticus down on the bed and covered her with a blanket. He said softly, "Alright, rest well. Only when you're well can you have enough energy to deal with what might happen next."
"Yes," Inticus answered honestly.
"It seems like I'm treated much better than the original. At least I won't be bitten by Inticus so easily. Not bad," Sei Itō said to himself. Then, he walked to the window and looked into the distance.
After a while, Yueyong Xiaomeng, who had finished shopping, returned to her room. However, Yueyong Xiaomeng deliberately acted like she knew nothing about what had happened. She did not ask Sei Itō and Shoujo about their relationship with Inticus, nor did she ask what had happened. Like a teacher entertaining her students who had suffered a disaster in her dormitory, she kept Sei Itō, Shoujo, and Inticus in the dormitory and prepared food for them.
After lunch, Sei Itō said to Inticus, who had recovered quite a bit of energy, "Inticus, you stay here with Teacher Xiaomeng and have a good rest. I'm going out to do something."
"Okay," Inticus answered.
"I'll leave Inticus in your care, Teacher Xiaomeng." Sei Itō then turned to look at Yueyong Xiaomeng.
"I'll take good care of Inticus," Yueyong Xiaomeng promised.
Seeing this, Sei Itō did not say anything else. He nodded at Shoujo Shoujo, turned around, and walked out of Yueyong Xiaomeng's dormitory, heading toward Suigai Hospital.
Suigai Hospital was the hospital in the original novel that treated patients who had fallen into a coma due to the use of the Fantasy Mitaru software. Like Tokiwadai Girls' School, Sei Itō, and Shoujo Shoujo's high school, it was located in School District 7. Therefore, it was completely possible to take the district's self-regulated bus to get there. Therefore, it did not take long for Sei Itō to arrive at Suigai Hospital.
"Excuse me, is Mr. Haruno Kiyama here?" When he arrived at the front desk of the hospital, Sei Itō asked a young female nurse in a pink and white nurse uniform.
"Yes, and you are …" The female nurse first answered Sei Itō's question before asking.
"My name is Sei Itō. I have something to discuss with Mr. Haruno Kiyama. I wonder if it's convenient for him now," Sei Itō said with a smile.
"Wait, I'll ask for you." The female nurse said, then reached for the landline phone on the counter and dialed Haruno Kiyama's office with an internal line.
"Mr. Haruno Kiyama, there is a young man named Sei Itō outside who wants to see you. Do you have time now?" The female nurse asked through the phone.
"Okay." Then, after a pause, the female nurse spoke again.
"Mr. Haruno Kiyama happens to have time now to meet you." Then the female nurse reached out and hung up the phone. She looked up at Sei Itō and said, then pointed to the inside of the hospital and introduced, "You go in here, then take the elevator to the eighth floor, and you can see Mr. Haruno Kiyama in the exclusive lounge on the eighth floor."
"Thank you." Sei Itō thanked her, then followed the route the female nurse told him to the elevator, took the elevator to the eighth floor, and slowly found the door of Haruno Kiyama's room on the sign, reached out and knocked on the door.
"Knock." Soon, accompanied by a soft sound, a young woman with wavy brown hair appeared in front of him. She was wearing black mid-heeled leather shoes, black stockings, a black short skirt, a white shirt, and a black woman's necktie. Her face was gloomy, and her eyelashes were very thick, making her look like she suffered from severe insomnia.
"You are …" Haruno Kiyama asked with a little doubt in his eyes.
