……

"This is?"

Fremea, who was eating, was shocked by the scenery outside the window.

In fact, it's not just Fremea, but also Haramura Makoto and Flanda who is sitting opposite.

"Index, why are you here?"

Outside the glass window, a girl wearing a nun's dress and with long silver hair, who looked like an evil spirit, was lying on the glass, staring at them closely.

No, that's not the right thing to say.

To be precise, she was looking at the food on their table.

"Index?"

“Hmm…ah…hmm…”

Don't get me wrong, this is not some strange sound, it is pure, human sound made when eating.

But this frequency is not a sound that an ordinary person can make, it is definitely a hungry ghost.

The sound a hungry ghost can make.

And now this hungry ghost is standing next to Flanda, devouring the food on the table like a whirlwind.

Makoto Haramura, Fremea, and Flanda stopped eating and all looked at Index in surprise.

Just now, ten servings, no, that's not right, fifteen servings of food were swallowed by this rather thin-looking girl.

Her stomach was like a bottomless pit. Even though she ate so much, her lower abdomen didn't bulge at all and was still quite flat.

"What's going on, Index? Isn't Kamijou-senpai with you?"

"He just told me that he was going to look for you."

Supporting his left cheek with one hand, Haramura Makoto tilted his head and looked at Index with interest.

Normally, these two guys were so clingy, but Kamijou Touma wasn't with her.

"Touma didn't even come to see me."

Index pursed her lips, her eyes filled with anger.

He deliberately wanted to cheer for Kamijou Touma and even practiced a cheering dance, but in the end he couldn't find the real person.

Her anger level has now reached its peak.

"That's really weird. Didn't Kamijou-senpai leave you any contact information or something?"

Haramura Makoto continued to ask.

"Yes, Touma taught me, but he never called."

While swallowing hard, Index took out her cell phone from her skirt pocket and placed it on the table.

"You're out of power."

Flanda pressed it and then made the assertion with great certainty.

"If the battery is out, no matter how many times the other party calls you, you won't be able to answer it."

"Is that right?"

"Will that help me fully charge it?"

Index blinked in confusion, then pushed her cell phone towards Haramura Makoto.

The only one who had met her once was Haramura Makoto.

And that day Touma seemed to trust Haramura Makoto very much. Since he was someone Kamijou Touma trusted, she could also trust him.

Otherwise, even if she is a foodie, it is impossible for her to sit at the table just because someone invites her.

"Of course, Flanda."

"Yes, I understand."

Frenda stood up resignedly, picked up Index's phone, and went to negotiate with the clerk.

"How about this, I'll help you contact Kamijou-senpai."

A hint of interest ignited in Haramura Makoto's eyes.

This is a very simple reasoning.

Not contacting Index for such a long time means that Kamijou Touma has forgotten that he should contact Index, or he has no time to contact Index.

Or maybe Kamijou Touma is in trouble now and doesn't want to involve Index, so he cuts off his connection with Index.

Then based on Kamijou Touma's physique and personality, the answer can be roughly deduced.

And now he was very interested in what Kamijou Touma was doing.

"Hey, Kamijou-senpai, what are you doing now? I just happened to run into a hungry Index over here."

The call was connected immediately.

Haramura Makoto narrowed his eyes and the corners of his mouth slowly rose.

(I am running, I am running. Look at this panting sound. It is from running.)

"I'm sorry, Haramura, is Index at your place? Could you please look after her for a while?"

"I have something urgent to do here and can't spare any time. I will pick her up as soon as I finish my work here."

Kamijou Touma's voice came directly from the other end of the phone. Index was like a puppy that had heard the order from its master. She immediately stopped eating, jumped up from her seat, stretched out her hands and rushed towards Haramura Makoto.

"Touma—!"

On the other hand, Haramura Makoto unceremoniously clamped Index with his hands.

“That’s fine, but doesn’t Kamijou-senpai need help?”

"If you need me, I can help."

Haramura Makoto's tone became a little slow.

"No, that's not necessary. I'll have to trouble you to take care of Index for a while."

"It's not a big deal on my end. It can be resolved quickly."

After saying that, Kamijou Touma hung up the phone in a hurry, as if he was afraid that Haramura Makoto would want to get involved.

"Frenda!"

"Hi!"

Franda, who had just returned, stood at attention with a respectful look, perfectly interpreting the word "lackey".

"Take care of them both. I'm going to do something."

……

"This is so annoying, do you really want to catch me?"

In a corner of Academy City, a beautiful woman with fluffy long golden curly hair and fair skin was breathing softly while looking around with her turquoise pupils uncontrollably.

This woman's outfit is quite strange. Although she is wearing light grey jeans, only one button of her top is buttoned, which barely covers her proud bust and reveals her white belly button and smooth flat belly. The buttons of her jeans are not buttoned at all, but tied loosely with a belt, as if they could fall off at any time, revealing the mysterious area that was covered.

Her whole body exudes a strong aura of temptation.

However, this is not so bad, after all, everyone has the freedom to dress as they please. What really makes people concerned is that she is carrying a thing wrapped in a cloth bag under her armpit, which looks like a long wooden board.

With such an alluring outfit, she attracted countless male eyes along the way.

"As expected, I still need to deal with the guy who has been following me first."

"Otherwise, this will never end."

Looking at the blue sky, the woman bit the tip of her tongue, and a fierce look flashed in her eyes.

Turning her head, the woman made a posture ready to run at full speed.

"Well, excuse me for disturbing this scantily clad young lady."

"My friend is having a hard time chasing you, could you please wait for a moment?"

Although her ears did not hear any sound, it was as if the sound was sent directly into her mind. The woman, who was about to take a step, suddenly froze and stopped in place, with her pupils constricted.

At the same time, a pair of eyes fell on her without any concealment.

Looking in the direction of her sight, the figure of a young man came into the woman's sight. Her face immediately showed a strong sense of vigilance, but she still maintained a rather forced smile.

"Oh my, little brother, are you trying to strike up a conversation with me, your big sister?"

"Although I am also very interested in younger girls, I have something important to do right now, so I will not accompany you any more."

A word paper card with a metal ring suddenly appeared in the woman's hand.

"Bah-"

Her thumb was so flexible that she tore off the top card of the pile and put it in her mouth.

There are also several magic symbols written on the card.

"Shadow Sword!"

The word that was bitten on the top suddenly emitted light, and then disappeared, and what followed was a ball of black energy that was as condensed as substance and wrapped around the woman's right hand.

"I have already said that."

"I asked you to wait here for a moment, my friend. What I just said was not clear to you. Didn't I make it clear to you?"

Even faster than the woman's movements was the sudden disappearance of Haramura Makoto.

The woman's pupils constricted, but when she reacted and tried to adjust her posture in the air, her abdomen suddenly suffered an unimaginable impact. Along with the severe pain that almost made her faint, the woman fell directly to the ground like a cannonball.

"puff--"

He was committing a crime in the street. It was still the Daibaxing Festival, so I didn't know how many people were here.

Someone should have reported this to the Discipline Committee and the Security Officers a long time ago.

But the reality was not like that. For some reason, the pedestrians around left here on their own. They had already left before Haramura Makoto took action and knocked the woman away.

"Orianna Thompson, a famous 'delivery person' in the magic world, known as 'tracking blockade', is best at escaping..."

He was a man who was over 1.9 meters tall, with red shoulder-length hair, thick silver rings on all ten fingers of his hands, silver earrings on his ears, and a barcode-like tattoo under his right eye. He was dressed like a priest.

He also said this just now.

As for the other one, that is the unlucky protagonist, Mr. Kamijou Touma.

"Haramura, why are you here?"

Kamijou Touma looked quite shocked.

Haramura Makoto raised his eyebrows and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Because I heard that you seemed to have encountered some difficult problems, so I asked someone to investigate your location."

"I don't think Kamijou-senpai would mind such a thing."

"No, no."

At this moment, another man's voice was heard in this space, and this voice sounded frivolous and dissolute.

The source of the sound was the cell phone that Kamijou Touma was holding.

"Deputy Director Yuancun has really helped us a lot."

"Have you heard of me? Who are you?"

Haramura Makoto's eyes grew vague, and he became interested in the man on the other side of Kamijou Touma's phone.

It was obvious that the title he just used was referring to his position in the Talent Workshop.

The only person who knew about the existence of his position was that guy named Aleister.

So, this guy has a close relationship with Aleister, so much so that Aleister told that guy about his affairs.

"I'm Motoharu Tsuchimikado, and I'm also working for that guy."

Haramura Makoto nodded slightly, then turned his gaze and fixed it on the tall red-haired man.

"cut--"
