Chapter 873: Kamijou Little Brother
Ten minutes ago.
7th school district, near the student dormitory, on a shopping street.
The night street was exceptionally quiet. However, the intersection several dozen meters wide was empty, which seemed a bit abnormal.
Under such an abnormal scene, a black-haired boy with spiky hair walked on the street. The boy was of medium build, wearing a white shirt and black trousers, looking slightly tired.
"Hey~ encountered many strange things recently, misfortune."
Misfortune seemed to have become the boy's daily life. His misfortune could no longer be explained by science. Going out once, he could accumulate the following results: stepped on dog poop x3, encountered robbery x1, car accident x1, almost hit by a flower pot falling from a high altitude x2, lost money when buying things x4.
This kind of thing that ordinary people rarely encountered was just daily life for this boy. Precisely because of this, he trained a sense of crisis beyond ordinary people. For example: don't walk beside high-rise buildings, don't go to alleys with few people, look at your feet when walking, absolutely don't run red lights. Once he accidentally ran a red light, the car accident rate reached over 98%.
The boy's name was Kamijou Touma, a boy with extremely poor luck and explosive peach blossom luck.
From childhood, 138 hospitalizations told Kamijou Touma that this world was very dangerous, at least full of malice for him. However, Kamijou Touma still loved life, liked to help others, and often called himself a 'hypocrite', but in reality, he was a hot-blooded and kind boy.
The quietness on the street caught Kamijou Touma's attention. This kind of quietness was too abnormal. His first reaction was, could it be that some major natural disaster was about to happen? And he happened not to receive a warning? Don't think this is absurd. For Kamijou Little Brother, this is very normal, part of his 'peaceful' life.
"Completely... no one at all?"
Kamijou Little Brother panicked. Not only were the surrounding streets empty, but even the shops and malls near the intersection had no noisy human voices. More importantly, the lights in the mall not far away were still on, indicating that there were people there not long ago, just suddenly evacuated.
"This is not good."
Kamijou Little Brother's chrysanthemum tightened, and his face began to turn iron blue.
Tap, tap. Tap...
On the silent street, this sudden sound of footsteps was exceptionally distinct.
"Just a rune to avoid idlers."
A woman's voice came. Kamijou Touma subconsciously turned his head to look. He saw a slender woman with a single braid, holding a long blade in its scabbard. The length of the blade in the woman's hand was at least over 1.5 meters. What was more special was the woman's attire.
Jeans + white T-shirt, the ordinary two-piece set worn on this woman appeared in a novel way. The left leg of the jeans was basically completely torn off, revealing fair and slender thighs. The remaining small section was almost to the point of seeing small underwear. The white T-shirt was tucked up, and both the lower abdomen and the back waist were exposed.
Regardless of the attire, figure, or physique, this was a plump woman over 20 years old. In fact, this woman was only 18 years old, named Kanzaki Kaori, an important combat force on the magic side, known as a 'Saint'. The so-called 'Saint' was a human who could use part of the power of the 'Son of God'.
According to the statistics of most 'Saints', the so-called 'Saint' was a magician with extremely strong physical fitness. Magicians fought using formulas, while Saints used magic as an auxiliary, with physical strength as the main combat means.
As for Kanzaki Kaori, she fought with sword skills. The long blade in her hand, 'Seven Heavens Seven Blades', was her main combat means.
"You are..."
Kamijou Touma felt something was wrong. Hearing the key word 'rune', he associated it with the magician he fought yesterday. This woman might be the other party's companion.
Facts proved that Kamijou Little Brother, who lived in deep water and hot fire, had a sense of crisis.
"My name is Kanzaki Kaori. If there is no need, I don't want to say another name."
Hearing this sentence with a clear warning, Kamijou Touma tightened his body and prepared for battle. It seemed that defeating a magician yesterday made Kamijou Little Brother a bit bloated.
"To be blunt, I hope that before reporting my magic name, I can take that child back to protect her. As for who that child is, you should be clear."
"What if I refuse."
"Sorry."
Saying that, Kanzaki Kaori made a move to draw her blade.
With a 'swish', sharp light flashed. Kamijou Touma only felt a blur before his eyes, and an iron pillar half a meter thick beside him was slashed off.
Seeing this scene, although Kamijou Touma felt cold in his heart, he still rushed up. His combat power was only 'Imagine Breaker'. Although the opponent was very strong, he wouldn't hand over that girl, which was Index. These people might have ulterior motives.
A few minutes later, Kamijou Little Brother, who was full of fighting spirit before, lay on the ground, with a dozen shallow wounds on his right arm, while Kanzaki Kaori was stepping on Kamijou's chest with one foot, her face cold. The strength was completely an overwhelming gap.
"Why don't you kill me? If you wanted to, I should have died many times. Since you hesitated when you did it, it means you still have a conscience, right? In that case, you should be able to understand that a group of people hunting a girl and using a blade to slash her back, this kind of thing must never be forgiven, so I won't hand her over."
When he couldn't beat her, Kamijou Touma chose to use mouth cannons.
In fact, Kamijou Touma misunderstood. Kanzaki Kaori was not hunting Index, but trying to 'protect' Index. This involved a clumsy lie and Index's identity.
Index: A nun belonging to the Anglican Church, grew up in St. George's Cathedral in England since childhood, now 14 years old, possesses perfect memory ability, so she was entrusted with a heavy mission. By relying on brain memory, she stores the contents of 103,000 magic books.
For such an important person, the Anglican Church naturally wanted to control her strictly, so they fabricated a lie, claiming that Index's brain capacity was limited. After storing 103,000 magic books, the remaining space was limited, and she could only store one year of memory. It needed to be cleared once a year, otherwise, she would die due to excessive memory storage. In other words, every year, Index's memory would be cleared to the memory point when she just memorized the magic books, so that it was convenient to control.
Of course, brain capacity insufficiency could only deceive two fools. What was magical was that some people really believed it and believed it deeply. In order to 'protect' Index's safety, they fought hard and treated Index like family. They had to endure the pain of being forgotten by Index once a year. Kanzaki Kaori was one of them.
This time, the situation was that Index ran away, and Kanzaki Kaori and Stiyl Magnus chased her. Stiyl Magnus was the bitter magician who was 'educated' by Kamijou Little Brother.
The time limit for clearing memory was approaching, and the two had to find Index as soon as possible and save her, which was to help her clear the memory of the past year.
As for Index being slashed, this had to be blamed on Kamijou Touma. Kamijou Touma's right-hand ability caused the defensive clothing on Index, 'Moving Church', to be damaged. Kanzaki Kaori thought she couldn't hurt Index, so she slashed a blade.
Just like that, Kanzaki Kaori, who wanted to protect Index, fought with Kamijou Little Brother, who also wanted to protect Index.
"Do you think I want to do this! What else do you know? How much do you know about Index!"
Kanzaki Kaori, who was as cold as ice before, suddenly lost her composure. The guilt of slashing Index herself, as well as the one-year time limit about to be reached, made her unable to remain calm. ===== CHAPTER 874 =====
