The Witch's Image and Life Were About to Be Ruined

The more Fujino thought about it, the more confused he became.

It was becoming more and more mind-boggling. This world seemed increasingly unfamiliar.

Yet everything seemed to have traces to follow.

Previously, Koizumi Akako had mentioned that, perhaps long ago, the Vatican had organized witch hunts... Given their doctrine of controlling the world and making it better, they were certainly capable of something like that.
