Zongman started from grabbing girls with Wuhe Shidao

However, on the small table next to Index, there was a bowl of porridge.Although it's rude to say that to Index, it's really hard to think that a girl who hangs on the balcony of someone else's house and asks for food is the first thing she can cook.This bowl of porridge should have been cooked by Teacher Xiaomeng.

"Why... Treat me like a patient..." Kamijou said while moving his body, "It hurts... What's going on? The sun is out? So I slept all night? What time is it?"

Index replied in a nasal voice, "Not all night."

Just as Kamijou raised one eyebrow in doubt, Index continued:

"Three days."

"Three... days? Huh? Three days? Why did I sleep for so long?"

"how could I know!"

Index suddenly yelled.

Kamijou couldn't help but hold his breath at the sound of venting his anger.

"I don't know! I don't know! I don't know! I really don't know! I just wanted to get rid of the magician who came to Touma's house, and I never thought that Touma was fighting other magicians!"

The anger in her words was not aimed at Kamijou.

Such a self-blaming voice made Kamijou even more speechless.

"It was Xiaomeng who told me that you were sent to the hospital covered in blood. At that time, I didn't even know that you were going to die. I was still laughing alone, glad that I got rid of that stupid magician!"

Index suddenly stopped talking.

Because she needs to take a moment, take a breath, and slowly say this most important sentence:

"...I... didn't go to save you..."

Index's tiny shoulders were shaking.She bit her lower lip and remained motionless.

Even so, Index still didn't want Kamijou to see her tears.

With a completely awakened heart, Index couldn't even show a little bit of sentimentality and sympathy.Kamijou thought to himself, what can he say to comfort a person who doesn't even let him see tears?

Therefore, he chose to concentrate on thinking about the current situation, and did not care about the fact that he was sent to the hospital. Presumably, someone saw him unconscious on the road and kindly helped him...

However, what is more important is the time of three days.

During these three days, the magician could snatch Index at any time.No, three days ago, when Kamijou passed out, Index should have been "recovered".

Why didn't they do it?Kamijou tilted his head in his mind and thought.I don't understand the opponent's intention at all.

...Wait, let's not talk about this first. The word "three days" seems to have a more important meaning.Kamijou felt as if countless bugs were crawling on his back.Thinking of this, he finally remembered.The deadline has come!

"Dangma? What's wrong?"

Index looked at the terrified Kamijou with a puzzled face.She still remembers Kamijou, stating that the magician has not yet "erased" her memory.And looking at her current appearance, she has not yet shown any critical symptoms.

Kamijou felt relieved, and couldn't help wanting to strangle himself to death for wasting such precious last three days.However, Kamijou decided to keep these things to himself.He didn't want Index to know these things.

"...Damn, the body can't move at all... What's the matter? Why are there so many bandages?"

"Don't you feel pain?"

"It doesn't hurt that much, okay? If it really hurt that much, I would have rolled on the ground long ago. Would it be too exaggerated to wrap my whole body in bandages?"

"..."

Index didn't say anything.

Then, as if he couldn't help it at last, tears welled up from the corners of his eyes.

This move of Index made Kamijou feel more hesitant than any loud cry.Then Kamijou finally understood that the inability to feel pain showed the danger of the injury.

Index once said before that Teacher Xiaomeng can no longer use recovery magic.

If you can heal wounds by spending MP like in RPG games, everything will be fine.Unfortunately, it's not that simple in reality.

Kamijou looked at his right hand.Wrapped with layers of bandages, his right hand could not be hurt any more.

"Even those with superpowers who have received training courses can't use magic... What a hassle!"

"...Well... because the structure of 'ordinary people' and 'superpowers' are different." The girl continued in an uneasy tone: "Although you can use bandages to bind wounds...but it is still scientifically inconvenient to compare. , it will be much faster if you use magic."

"It's true to say so──But there is no such thing as using magic anyway."

"...'This kind of thing'?" Index was dissatisfied with Kamijou's words, pouted and said: "Touma! You still don't believe in magic? You are like a child with unrequited love, you are so stubborn Oh!"

Kamijou buried his head in the pillow and shook it from side to side, as if to say "That's not the case".

"...just if I can, I don't want to see your face when you explain magic again."

Kamijou remembered the expression on Index's face when she was explaining rune magic in the hallway of the student dormitory.

Her eyes at that time were colder than the pale moonlight, quieter than the clock gears marking time.

Her voice at that time was more polite than the voice of the guide on the bus, and more impersonal than the voice of the bank cash machine.

It exists solely for the purpose of the grimoire library and the catalog of forbidden books.

Even now, it is unbelievable that she is the same person as the girl in front of her.

He didn't want to believe it.

"Touma is someone who hates listening to commentary?"

"Hey...you don't even remember yourself? Didn't you explain the effect of the rune in front of Stiyl like a mechanical puppet? Brother, I was a little scared when I heard your voice."

"...Ah──I see. Am I... awakened again?"

"Wake up?"

Such words sounded like they were saying that the one who looked like a mechanism doll was the real her.

It sounded like they were saying that the gentle girl in front of her was a fake.

"Hmm...don't ask me too much about awakening if you can."

Kamijou couldn't open his mouth to ask why.

Because before Kamijou asked, Index had already answered:

"When I lost consciousness, I felt as if I was talking in my sleep. It was quite embarrassing."

Index went on to say:
