"Idiot, I'm not that kind of weak person who needs you to save me. So, you just have to stay behind me and accept my protection. You don't have to think about those things that you don't have and add to your worries." After two seconds of silence, Ito Sei raised his bandaged right hand and gently placed it on Inticus's head. He then said in a relaxed tone, "Don't worry about it.
"Also, you keep tying me up like this. Do I look like a mummy to you?" Sei Itō retracted his arm and looked down at his body that was covered in medical bandages except for his neck. He smiled bitterly.
"I'm only doing this for your speedy recovery." Indix touched his cheek with his right index finger and said softly, a little embarrassed, "Although I can't heal you immediately like magic."
"That's true." Sei Itō chuckled.
Sei Itō's expression changed slightly. He stood up from the ground and said, "Oh right, I still have things to do. I can't waste any more time here. I have to hurry over."
"No, Ah-Cheng, you're still injured." Inticus hurriedly reached out to stop Ito Sei.
"But I've already promised them. I can't not go." Sei Itō looked at Indix apologetically.
"No! You're so badly injured. I won't let you go out. " Indix stared at Sei Itō angrily and said loudly, "Now, you have to listen to my instructions as a nun. Lie down and rest until I think it's okay."
"But …" Sei Itō said hesitantly.
"No buts. Lie down and rest." Indix put his hands on his waist. He glared at Sei Itō and ordered.
Under the strong opposition of the stubborn Indix, Sei Itō had to give up his original plan. He compromised and listened to Indix's instructions. He sat back on the bed and began to rest. At the same time, he received Indix's treatment that was enough to make one's injuries worsen.
And under such circumstances. In the end, Sei Itō wasn't able to make it to the scene and participate in the ending of [Fantasy Mitaru].
Just like that, Sei Itō spent three long and painful days under Indix's care. It was now July 27th …
"Alright, Inticus. My psychokinesis has the ability to accelerate the body's recovery, so don't worry, I'll be fine. " When it was close to noon, Sei Itō, who could no longer keep up the pretense, stood up. Ignoring Inticus's dissuasion, he removed the bandages on his body and comforted Sei Itō.
"Is that so?" Inticus asked in disbelief.
"Of course." Sei Itō nodded affirmatively. Then, he took off half of the bandages and showed most of the skin on his arm to Inticus and said, "Look, you can't see the wound anymore, can you?"
"Yes," Inticus nodded and admitted after taking a closer look.
"You can rest assured now, right?" Sei Itō smiled as he retracted his arm and continued to remove the bandages.
Inticus nodded and didn't stop Sei Itō from doing what he was doing.
"Dang dang dang." Just then, a gentle knocking sound came from the door.
"Coming," Inticus, who heard the sound, turned to look at the door and responded loudly. Then, he turned to Sei Itō and continued, "It's Xiao Meng, right?"
"Huh? What are you doing in front of my door? "Just as Inticus finished speaking, Moetong Xiao Meng's voice came from behind the door. She said in a confused tone.
Then, Moetong Xiao Meng opened the door and shouted into the room, "Itō, these two seem to be your guests."
After Moetong Xiao Meng finished speaking, she moved to the side, allowing Kanzaki Kaori, who was holding a longsword, and the red-haired man, Steele Magnus, who was wearing a black coat, to be in front of Sei Itō and Inticus.
"It's you? What? Do you want to attack me together and take Inticus away by force? " Sei Itō stopped removing the bandages and pulled Inticus behind him as he looked at Kanzaki Kaori and Steele.
"Look at your body. You probably won't be able to escape easily, "Steele said with a smile as he looked at the bandages wrapped around Sei Itō's chest.
"You can try," Sei Itō said calmly as he looked at Steele.
"Go back!" Just as the atmosphere became tense, Inticus rushed from behind Sei Itō and stood in front of him. He opened his arms and looked at Kanzaki Kaori and Steele with a serious expression as he said loudly, "Please, I beg you. You can take me anywhere, you can do whatever you want to me, really, really … Please, please don't hurt Ah Cheng! "
"There are still 12 hours and 38 minutes before the final time limit. We are just here to see if anyone has escaped and to confirm the effect of [Leg Shackles]. It seems to be better than expected," Steele, who had a cigarette in his mouth, said softly after a moment of silence.
"If you don't want this toy to be taken away, it's better to give up the idea of escaping, understand?"
After that, he ignored Ito Sei, turned around and walked out of Moetō Xiaomeng's apartment with Kanzaki Kaori, ready to walk away.
"Wait." At this time, Sei Itō, who had been silent all this time, suddenly called out.
Hearing Sei Itō's call, Steele and Kanzaki Kaori stopped and turned to look at Sei Itō.
"Inticus, wait for me in the room. I have something to ask them." Seeing the two stopped, Sei Itō didn't pay attention to them immediately. Instead, he reached out and moved Inticus's body and whispered to her.
"No." Hearing this, Inticus, who suddenly showed a frightened expression, reached out and hugged Sei Itō.
"Don't worry, I really just have something to ask them. I won't fight with them, I promise," Sei Itō said softly.
"Really?" Inticus asked in disbelief.
"Really, I promise that when I come back later, it will be the same as it is now. There won't be any changes." Sei Itō said with a smile.
"You promise?" Inticus begged.
"I promise." Sei Itō nodded.
"Okay then." Inticus let go of her hands and said. Then, she watched with a worried expression as Sei Itō, Steele, and Kanzaki Kaori left Moyong Xiaomeng's apartment and walked away.
"Okay, let's stop here. If we go any further, it'll take too much time and make Inticus worry." After walking a certain distance, Ito Sei stopped and looked at Kanzaki Kaori and Steele who were walking not far away from him. Seeing that there were no strangers around, Ito Sei stopped.
"Tell me, what do you mean by 12 hours until the deadline?" Sei Itō asked Kanzaki Kaori and Steele who had turned around to look at him.
"You know the origin of the name Inticus, right?" After a moment of silence, Steele put away the cigarette between his fingers and exhaled a cloud of smoke to hide his face.
"* * directory, the abbreviation of [indexlibrrhibiru], which is the literal translation of [index]," Ito Sei replied.
"That's right, index." Steele, who had regained his clarity, spoke softly with a hint of mockery on his face. "The keeper of a hundred and three thousand grimoires, a moving library of magic."
"That child has a special constitution. She has the ability to record everything she sees, no matter how insignificant or boring it is," Steele continued.
"Complete memory ability," Ito Sei continued, explaining Indicus's constitution and the ability it possessed.
"Here, that ability is called [Perfect Memory]?" Steele glanced at Sei Itō. Without waiting for Sei Itō's reply, he continued, "As the moving library of the [Church of Necessary Evil], the keeper of 103,000 grimoires, 85% of her brain's capacity is taken up by the 103,000 grimoires. The remaining 15% is only enough for her to store the next year's worth of memories. So whenever the time limit is up, we will erase the irrelevant memories in her brain to ensure that the child can continue to live healthily."
"Do you understand now?" Steele looked at Sei Itō with a mocking expression.
"You two will do it?" Sei Itō looked at Steele and Kanzaki Kaori in surprise.
"Steele and I are the same as that child. We all belong to the [Church of Necessary Evil]. As for why Inticus doesn't remember us, I think you should know by now," Kanzaki Kaori answered on behalf of Steele.
"So for the child's safety, please hand her over to us before midnight. We will do the necessary work," Kanzaki Kaori continued.
"Can I ask who told you that Inticus's brain can only store one year's worth of memories?" Sei Itō ignored Kanzaki Kaori's words and looked at Kanzaki Kaori and Steele with a mocking expression.
"The upper echelons of the church," Kanzaki Kaori answered with a frown.
"Then I can only say that the upper echelons of your church are all illiterate. They are primitive people living in an ancient society," Sei Itō mocked without holding back.
"What do you mean?" Steele asked with a frown.
"It's a new society now. You should read more scientific information when you have time. Don't be like the upper echelons of your church. They are all illiterate." Ito Sei said sarcastically to Steele. When Steele was about to go berserk, Ito Sei slowly explained, "The human brain's memory is classified into different types. According to the type, it can be divided into image memory, abstract memory, emotional memory, and action memory. The location of each memory is also different in the brain."
