But after saying this, he found that his clenched fists had turned red and numb from using too much force.

However, such a small matter could not affect Mr. Kamijou’s reasoning.

“Think about it carefully, how is it possible? The average person’s life span is 15 years. If we calculate based on 100% of the brain capacity each year, even if the average person doesn’t have such a thing as perfect memory, then it’s impossible that the total memory is less than % of the perfect memory capacity, right?”

As he said this, the boy who was about to transform into the famous detective Kamijou Kotouma suddenly looked even uglier. “If I say this, although I am looking at the past story as a bystander, now that I think about it myself… I always feel that the problem is actually very obvious. The common sense of the magicians is surprisingly poor. They don’t even know that water can dissolve ink, and they even believe that memory can occupy a certain proportion of brain capacity.”

But, that’s not a problem..

“It must be the organization behind this that wants to keep using you, so they created this illusion, Index!”

“It’s like you can use magic to heal yourself when you’re seriously injured… In other words, you should have a way to activate magic, but maybe the so-called sect secretly took it away from you!”

He looked at the silver-haired nun who had been steadily occupying the seat for eating melons. The latter had already been silent and lowered her head, and her expression did not look particularly good.

The reason is simple: Touma’s analysis and observation are too realistic.

It’s real enough to be called explicit.

After thinking about it, this is indeed the case.

“I’m afraid what Touma said is not wrong at all…”

Index nodded softly.

Considering that the matter was serious and needed serious consideration, the great Miss Index chose to temporarily pretend to have forgotten Touma’s harsh words just now: “Magicians are all common sense idiots.”

If you analyze it carefully, there are indeed many mysteries about myself, so many that I have no way of understanding them at all.

The church might want to occupy it forever and eliminate those who might rebel against the Index.

But…because of this incident, Index completely lost all her previous memories.

“If Touma’s incident hadn’t been exposed… I probably wouldn’t have known that the so-called awakening moment would actually be like this. It’s really like a complete machine. It’s much more serious than I thought before.”

Speaking of this, the girl felt a little cold.

It’s not just about worrying about my previous condition.

What’s worse, after this incident, she developed some concerns.

“Nei..Touma.”

The petite silver-haired nun curled up on the sofa.

After this call, the rest of the voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.

But Mr. Kamijou Touma still had a stable income.

“Touma’s previous hospitalization… could it be that it was caused by the trauma of the Great Forbidden Spell in the defense system that I used without authorization?”

She said this.

As for the reason, it was actually that I had a premonition of this.

After seeing the part of the story so far.

The disgust and rejection towards magicians that was established due to Touma’s injury has disappeared a lot.

Especially after hearing that they were actually my former partners and friends, my mood became extremely complicated.

Index felt depressed when she thought that the culprit of all this might be the church.

But then, here comes the problem.

“Since the magicians didn’t hurt you even when Touma was being so stubborn just now… then who hurt Touma?”

Index kept silent while whispering like a warning.

Similarly, he looked at Touma with a conflicted gaze.

The latter remained silent for a long time.

At the end, the conversation ended with an ambiguous word.

“Who knows…”

Perhaps Touma had guessed it, but he hadn’t seen the incident, so he needed to let Index witness it herself;

However, even if it was really caused by Index, so what… Even if we only rely on the story that is replayed on the screen, if the current Kamijou Touma were to go back to that point in time, what would he choose to do?

he thinks…

“I will still choose to save the troublemaker who was willing to sacrifice himself and give up everything to save the stupid guy named Kamijou Touma!”

End of words.

This is also the last conversation before the real answer is revealed.

Touma really hoped that it wasn’t Index who caused his trauma.

He didn’t want Index to bear such guilt.

It’s a pity.

When the truth comes out.

It also brings the bloody reality to the surface.

within the video.

Touma also reacted quickly.

Remember the 15% tolerance scam.

Due to the urgency of the situation, he almost forgot.

However, after a brief adjustment and a call to Teacher Xiao Meng to confirm the truth, he suddenly realized and his hope was rekindled.

Obviously, this is anything but normal.

In other words, it definitely couldn’t be a problem with lifespan itself, but rather some kind of magical restriction.

It was the selfishness of the church that caused trouble for Index.

In other words, by removing that restriction, Index can return to normal.

but–

All normal areas of Index’s body were explored.

But there has been no recovery yet.

If you think about it this way, there is only that place.

【…】

“Look at how painful she is. Do you have the courage to take the ‘magic’ away from her? If you really believe in your own power, just touch it, you heretic who only wants to be the protagonist!”

At this time, this scene.

The image of Stiyl leading an army to call for punishment flashed through his mind.

This time, the boy was not discouraged and timid as before, but instead was filled with great ambition.

The world is completely different now.

Touma muttered to himself: “It’s not that I want to be the protagonist──”

He smiled and untied the pure white bandage covering his right hand.

It was like unlocking the seal on the right hand.

When his scarred right hand was revealed, he uttered the truth that could be called a declaration, enough to shock the audience: “I am the protagonist.”

Synchronously, utterance by utterance.

The video screen advances as Touma extends his fingers.

It reached into the girl’s lips, pressed over her tongue, and reached deep into her throat.

It was pitch black, and there was a strange pattern that seemed like a divination curse and could only be seen when it was played on TV.

[This is the cause of the current situation! ]

‘I will do it’

“I will not casually say next time, but right now, I will break Index’s tragic cycle…”

Monologue-like narration.

Resolutely, he reached closer to touch the seal with his fingertips.

Combined with the subtitles floating across the screen, the boy’s absolutely kind image has already been established.

The comment, like the finishing touch, also officially announced that the story started by Touma has set sail.

[Although it is said to be a miracle that can destroy God, it cannot defeat bad boys, cannot increase test scores, and cannot be used to pick up girls. I originally thought that my right hand was useless. ]

【But now it’s different. 】

[If it could save this suffering girl in front of me, what a great right hand it would be. ]

Then, the writing faded.

True colors revealed.

From the moment Touma’s fingertips touched the seal of the barrier.

Index’s pupils were covered in red, symbolizing destruction.

The cold words and endless magic are expressed through the recitation.

Meanwhile, the duo of magicians, startled by the noise, burst into the house;

When he recognized the magical feat called [Dragon King’s Sigh], he also had a profound understanding of reality.

Index…is not incapable of performing magic!

Now, this fairy tale that was supposed to end has gone haywire.

Index’s defense device was exposed to the magicians.

That’s why Stiyl questioned Touma earlier.

He no longer had to respond in any confused way.

“—Do you really want to save Index?”

This sentence made Stiyl, who was about to suppress Index and forcibly activate the memory erasure, freeze in place.

“Haven’t you been waiting for this moment? No need to take away Index’s memory! No need to play the role of Index’s enemy! Everyone is laughing heartily! Everyone is secretly hoping for the most perfect happy ending in their hearts!”

Such words made him lower his head and remain silent.

“Haven’t you been looking forward to such a plot for a long time? No need to wait for the arrival of a hero, no need to wait for the appearance of a protagonist! No need to rely on anyone or anything else, use your own hands to help this ordinary girl in front of you! Haven’t you vowed to do this in your heart a long time ago?”

With a snap, the nail of the index finger of the right hand cracked and bright red blood flowed out.

But even so, Kamijou Touma still didn’t want to give up.

The answer to the question [What is the protagonist] has been revealed.

He could now publish the answer to the question raised by Steele.

It is precisely because of its romance, it is precisely because of its grandeur, and it is precisely because it exceeds the limits of ordinary people’s understanding.

Only those who have accomplished such a great feat are qualified to become the so-called protagonist! !

This is exactly what Stiyl and Kanzaki did in the beginning.

“Haven’t you been wanting to be the protagonist for a long time? Just like in a storybook, just like in a movie! Risking your life to protect a girl! Don’t you want to be a magician like that? Hurry up! Everything is not over yet! It hasn’t even begun yet! Don’t fall into despair so quickly just because the prologue is too long!”

Words fall.

A line of seven flashes caught the eye.

It was Kanzaki who followed his word and joined the battle first.

then..

Magnificent white feathers fell down.

It is a magic with the same meaning as the Dragon of St. George, [Sigh of the Dragon King].

At the same time, a beam of light that tore through the night sky was summoned and thrown by Index.

Obliterated and dissolved by the scorching vortex.
