Chapter Summaries

As Yuma controlled Akatsuki Kojou’s body and prepared to open the Prison Barrier, Kurumi and her companions watched the chaos at the Gate of the Foundation during the Haronin Festival. Mo Xiao finally tore through space after thousands of teleportations, stopped the battle to complain about the noise, and left everyone stunned.

• Yuma, controlling Akatsuki Kojou’s body, reached the rooftop of the Gate of the Foundation with Himeragi Yukina and Aoba Asagi, where a powerful book awaited her.
• Akatsuki Kojou demanded that Yuma return his body, while Vatler watched and anticipated the Prison Barrier opening.
• Kurumi left a shop with Yōse Natsune and Asztarte and saw crowds cheering as tentacles destroyed helicopters above the Gate of the Foundation.

• Kurumi learned from Little Red that Mo Xiao had been teleported more than five thousand six hundred times while deriving a formula to resolve the spatial chaos.
• Mo Xiao sat down atop the Gate of the Foundation and scolded everyone for making noise, bringing the battle to a halt.

Vatler’s familiar struck Himeragi Yukina from the rooftop, and she fell to her death, prompting Kanon to unleash her angelic power. Enraged, Mo Xiao attacked Vatler while Kanon pursued him, as Akatsuki Kojou turned on Yuuma and the Maya sisters.

• Vatler summoned his fused silver dragon familiar while Mo Xiao confronted him, and the two began fighting on the rooftop.
• The silver dragon’s breath knocked Himeragi Yukina unconscious and sent her over the railing; she fell to the ground and died.
• Kanon lost control after Kurumi confirmed Yukina’s death, transformed into an angel, and flew toward Vatler, while Kurumi asked Asztarte to send Yukina’s body to the pharmaceutical factory.
• Mo Xiao blamed Vatler for Yukina’s death, punched him off the rooftop, and sliced his silver dragon familiar into pieces.
• Kanon attacked Vatler with sacred power as Mo Xiao joined the fight, while Akatsuki Kojou confronted Yuuma and the Maya sisters on the rooftop.

Kurumi brought Himeragi Yukina’s remains to a Pan-Continental Heavy Industries facility and used Zafkiel’s Four Bullet to restore her body and revive her. Yukina began to wake in the nutrient tank as Kurumi prepared to conceal what had happened.

• Kousaka Sayaka and Princess La Folia helped Akatsuki Kojou fight Meiya while Sendou Yuma entered the Prison Barrier.
• A special police officer delivered Yukina’s remains to the pharmaceutical factory, where Kurumi and Asztarte placed them in a nutrient tank.
• Asztarte questioned whether Yukina could be revived, and Kurumi assured her that she would be.
• Kurumi used Dalet to reverse time and reconstruct Yukina’s body, restoring her from her death.
• Kurumi had Yukina’s clothes removed and the camera footage altered before Yukina opened her eyes.

Himeragi Yukina woke in a nutrient tank and learned that Vatler had apparently been defeated by Mo Xiao and angelized Kanon, while Senior Kojou’s fate remained unknown. Kurumi then went to the factory and entered the modified “Nightmare,” ready to rely on its formidable capabilities.

• Himeragi Yukina woke in a nutrient tank, where Kurumi treated her injuries and helped her recover enough to leave.
• Asztarte escorted Yukina to a lounge, where Yukina used a tablet to ask Kurumi about Senior Kojou, Vatler, Mo Xiao, and Yukina’s Spear.
• Kurumi told Yukina that the criminal mages on the Gate of the Foundation rooftop had been arrested and that Vatler appeared to have been defeated by Mo Xiao and angelized Kanon.
• Kurumi reassured Yukina that Senior Kojou and Sendouki were likely safe, then asked Asztarte to protect Yukina while she checked on the Gate of the Foundation.
• Kurumi entered a factory building and climbed into the modified “Nightmare,” which Little Red had upgraded from Naraku Veiler.

Kurumi tested the Nightmare armor, rescued the angelized Kanon, and sent Mo Xiao to help Akatsuki Kojou at the Prison Barrier. At the Haronin Festival, she found the memory-wiped Nangong Natsuki, who mistook her for her mother, just as Aoba Asagi approached the restaurant.

• Kurumi flew the Nightmare over Island of the Gods, surveyed the destruction, and found Kanon confronting Mo Xiao above the sea.
• Kurumi showed Kanon footage of Yukina's revival, calmed her, and took her into the Nightmare's cockpit.
• Kurumi ordered Mo Xiao to help Akatsuki Kojou at the Prison Barrier, and Little Red persuaded him to try knocking Kojou unconscious so Kurumi could absorb his time.
• Kurumi searched for Aoba Asagi at the Haronin Festival and encountered a child who called her Mom.
• Kurumi realized the child was Nangong Natsuki, whose memories Sendou Aya had erased, and began comforting her at a family restaurant.
• As Aoba Asagi walked toward the restaurant, Kurumi came up with a plan.

Kurumi coached a little girl to call Aoba Asagi “Mommy,” leaving Asagi flustered and drawing her into a family restaurant. Asagi tried to identify the girl’s real mother as Nangong Natsuki, but the child froze and clutched her head.

• Kurumi persuaded the little girl to call Asagi “Mommy” in exchange for children’s meals, while the girl agreed to call Kurumi “Auntie.”
• The little girl startled Asagi by calling her Mommy in a crowded family restaurant, and Asagi became overwhelmed by the diners’ attention.
• The girl led Asagi to Kurumi’s table and resumed eating, while Kurumi claimed she had found the child and brought her there after failing to reach Senior Kojou.
• Asagi thanked Kurumi, then told the girl that Nangong Natsuki was her mother instead.
• The little girl froze at the name Nangong Natsuki, then clutched her head.

Aoba Asagi named the amnesiac, shrunken Nangong Natsuki “Xiao Na” and tried to comfort and feed her while Kurumi acted like her mother. At the Prison Barrier, Mo Xiao watched Akatsuki Kojou and a group of reincarnators looking for a chance to help him, and Zhang Jie’s team prepared to rescue Sendou Yuma.

• Aoba Asagi discovered that Kurumi did not know the little girl’s name, so she named her Xiao Na and cheered her up.
• Xiao Na asked for a strawberry sundae, but Kurumi refused because she had just finished dinner.
• Mo Xiao arrived near the Prison Barrier and saw Akatsuki Kojou holding the injured Sendou Yuma as escaped criminals remained trapped by the barrier.
• Mo Xiao observed Zhang Jie’s poorly equipped team, which planned to use their healing ability to help Sendou Yuma and gain Akatsuki Kojou’s favor.
• A team member asked Zhang Jie why the Sword Shaman who usually followed Akatsuki Kojou was absent.

Mo Xiao intervened in Akatsuki Kojou’s confrontation with the Prison Barrier convicts, overpowering them and letting them leave after forcing them to endure his attacks. As Mo Xiao headed for Akatsuki Kojou’s mother’s laboratory, the Ocean Tomb began contacting War King Domain, while Kurumi, Xiao Na, and Asagi watched the Haronin Festival parade.

• Mo Xiao decided to deal with Akatsuki Kojou’s attackers and watched Zhang Jie’s Reincarnators engage Shutora D.
• Mo Xiao kicked Shutora D away, allowing Kousaka Sayaka to help Zhang Jie’s group withdraw with Akatsuki Kojou and an unconscious Yuuma.
• Mo Xiao repeatedly injured and healed Shutora D, then defeated Kiriga Giri with the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame and let him leave.
• The other convicts were beaten by Mo Xiao and began searching Island of the Gods for Nangong Natsuki, while Sendou Aya slipped away.
• Akatsuki Kojou took the unconscious Yuuma to his mother, and Little Red arranged for Yukina and Asztarte to travel to the laboratory.
• Mo Xiao headed for the laboratory to knock Akatsuki Kojou unconscious and take him away, as the Ocean Tomb contacted War King Domain and Kurumi, Xiao Na, and Asagi watched the parade.

Kurumi continued enjoying the Haronin Festival while Mo Xiao accompanied Akatsuki Kojou and Kousaka Sayaka to Akatsuki Shizumori’s laboratory to treat Yuuma. The group was stunned when the supposedly dead Himeragi Yukina arrived at the door, and Mo Xiao treated her as a clone.

• Kurumi learned that Mo Xiao had beaten the escaped sorcerous criminals and gone to Akatsuki Shizumori’s laboratory, while her Reincarnator teammates attacked the criminals.
• Mo Xiao surprised Akatsuki Kojou and Kousaka Sayaka outside the laboratory, then joined them inside.
• Akatsuki Shizumori examined the unconscious Yuuma, and Akina Nagisa arrived and accused Kojou of smelling like an unfamiliar woman.
• Himeragi Yukina and Asztarte appeared at the door, shocking the household; Mo Xiao pinched Yukina’s cheek and asked whether she was a clone.

Himeragi Yukina reunited with Akatsuki Kojou and Kousaka Sayaka after they had believed she died, while Akatsuki Kojou remained troubled by Mo Xiao’s remark that she was a clone. The chapter left Kojou suspecting that the Yukina before him might not be the original.

• Himeragi Yukina arrived at Akatsuki Kojou’s home with Akina Nagisa and Asztarte, and Akatsuki Kojou was shocked to see her alive.
• Himeragi Yukina asked Akatsuki Kojou about her Spear, and he told her about the Prison Barrier and his encounter with Sendou Aya.
• Kousaka Sayaka emerged from Akatsuki Shizuka’s laboratory in a nurse uniform and broke down with relief when she saw Yukina alive.
• Kousaka Sayaka scolded Akatsuki Kojou for telling her Yukina had died, while Kojou recalled seeing Yukina fall from the Gate of the Foundation.
• Akatsuki Kojou wondered whether Himeragi Yukina was a clone, and Mo Xiao gave him a meaningful smile.

Akatsuki Kojou learned that Asagi, Natsuki, and Kurumi were in danger at the Haronin Festival and rushed to help them. While they left, Mo Xiao confronted the controlled Akina Nagisa and confirmed her immense power before Kurumi became separated from her companions by alloy doors.

• Akatsuki Shinsen reassured Kojou that Yuma was not in immediate danger and began examining Yukina.
• Kojou saw Asagi, Natsuki, and Kurumi at the festival with a magic criminal Mo Xiao had released, then called Asagi and Kurumi for information.
• Kurumi told Kojou that a strange old man was chasing them, and Asztarte received a distress call and left to respond.
• Mo Xiao entered Nagisa's room and confronted the controlled Akina Nagisa, whose magical pressure damaged the room before vanishing.
• At the festival, Kurumi, Asagi, and Natsuki fled from a bald old lama, but alloy doors separated Kurumi from the other two.

Kurumi stayed behind after the gate separated her from Aoba Asagi and Xiao Na, then forced Kiriga Giri to destroy himself before disappearing. Aoba Asagi escaped with Xiao Na and waited for Kurumi, but Asztarte detected a Prison Barrier fugitive: Gilliola Larti, the Diva of Tragedy.

• Aoba Asagi carried the crying Xiao Na away from the sealed gate, leaving Kurumi behind.
• Kurumi ordered Kiriga Giri to cripple himself, and he struck his own abdomen with his flaming hand.
• Kurumi vanished from the sewer as Aoba Asagi reached the surface with Xiao Na and waited for news.
• Asztarte reported that no magic power remained nearby, then detected a Prison Barrier fugitive.
• Gilliola Larti appeared in a Familiar Beast and identified herself as a pure-blooded vampire known as the Diva of Tragedy.

Mo Xiao intervened when a pureblood vampire attacked Aoba Asagi and Xiao Na, destroying her blood bees and overpowering her thorn-whip Familiar. The vampire tried to seduce him after he defeated her, and reached toward his thigh.

• The vampiric woman used her thorned whip to control the guards and make them attack Asztarte's Familiar.
• The woman summoned blood bees to attack Aoba Asagi and Xiao Na, but Mo Xiao appeared and protected them.
• The vampiric woman sent a swarm of blood bees at Mo Xiao, and he erased them with black flames.
• The woman transformed her whip into an earth dragon and attacked Mo Xiao, who grabbed it, dragged her to her knees, and crushed the Familiar.
• The vampiric woman threatened Mo Xiao, then changed to a seductive demeanor and reached toward his thigh.

Mo Xiao captured Giriola after she discovered his puppet body had no male anatomy and mistook him for a woman. As Akatsuki Kojou reached Aoba Asagi, she prepared to tell him startling news about Mo Xiao.

• Giriola tried to seduce Mo Xiao to avoid being sent back to prison, while he considered capturing her for her vampire lifespan.
• Giriola touched Mo Xiao’s crotch, found nothing there, and exclaimed that he was a girl.
• Mo Xiao knocked Giriola unconscious and stored her in his ring, leaving Asztarte and Aoba Asagi to assume he had killed her in embarrassment.
• Aoba Asagi imagined Mo Xiao as a short-haired beauty and grew more fond of him as Akatsuki Kojou arrived and asked if she was okay.
• Aoba Asagi told Akatsuki Kojou that she had earth-shattering news to share.

Mo Xiao and Akatsuki Kojou reached the harbor with Aoba Asagi and found Kurumi, who explained that escaped Prison Barrier prisoners were approaching. Mo Xiao went out to face Puldor Dampelgraf, a dragon-slayer seeking Nangong Natsuki, and prepared to fight him.

• Aoba Asagi and Akatsuki Kojou hurried through the sewers toward Kurumi, and Kojou’s unusual stamina and sharp sense of smell made Asagi suspicious.
• They reached the harbor and met Mo Xiao and Kurumi, who said the escaped prisoners would be returned to the Prison Barrier there.
• Mo Xiao’s artificial intelligence identified Puldor Dampelgraf as a powerful dragon-slayer and Shutora D as a descendant of the demigods.
• Mo Xiao left to confront the approaching criminals, while Aoba Asagi, Kurumi, and Natsuki stayed behind.
• Puldor Dampelgraf demanded that Akatsuki Kojou hand over Nangong Natsuki, but Mo Xiao stopped Kojou and challenged the dragonslayer.
• Mo Xiao conjured and crushed a violet-black flame as Puldor braced himself for battle.

Mo Xiao defeated the dragon slayer at the harbor with ease, while Kurumi consumed the lifespan of a pureblood vampire he had sent her. Sendou Aya then asked Kurumi about the Five-Minute World Hypothesis as she proposed creating a new world.

• Mo Xiao summoned an Ancient Void Dragon, endured the dragon slayer’s greatsword strike, and watched as the dragon destroyed the slayer’s weapon, arm, and part of the harbor.
• Mo Xiao sent the bound dragon slayer back to the Prison Barrier and told Akatsuki Kojou that one punch could destroy the body of the Island of the Gods.
• Aoba Asagi left with the Island of the Gods commune, Kurumi departed with her, and Mo Xiao disappeared after Akatsuki Kojou reunited with Himeragi Yukina and the others.
• Kurumi used the City of Eating Time to consume the lifespan of the unconscious pureblood vampire Mo Xiao had sent her, reducing the woman to dust.
• Sendou Aya appeared in Kurumi’s apartment, invited her to create a new world, and asked whether she had heard of the Five-Minute World Hypothesis.

Kurumi agreed to ally with Sendou Aya in her plan to restore the world to a normal state without magic, while the World Degradation mission tasked Kurumi with downgrading the A Certain Magical Index world. She prepared to hunt pure-blood vampires for another mission and ordered Mo Xiao to watch over Sendou Aya.

• Sendou Aya explained to Kurumi that magic and supernatural beings had appeared suddenly in a once-normal world, and described her plans to use the Seventh-Type Assault Demon Gun and the Dark Oath Book to restore it.

• Kurumi told Little Red to have Mo Xiao watch over Sendou Aya, save her if she failed, and bring the Dark Oath Book without revealing his identity.

Kurumi and Little Red used the Dark Oath Book’s suppression of supernatural powers to capture long-lived demons and vampires, while Kurumi collected their time and obtained the book. As tensions rose between War King Domain and the Island of the Gods, Akatsuki Kojou found the battle records destroyed and set out to seek help from Tokisaki Company.

• Sendou Aya unleashed the Dark Oath Book, suppressing supernatural powers across the Island of the Gods while leaving Kurumi’s Yuan Force unaffected.
• Little Red deployed Nightmares to capture vampires and other long-lived demons, and Kurumi converted their lifespans into time at a Pan-Continental Heavy Industries factory.
• Akatsuki Kojou and his allies stopped Sendou Aya, and Mo Xiao handed the completed Dark Oath Book to Kurumi, who ordered Little Red to conceal their traces and provoke a conflict between War King Domain and the Island of the Gods.
• War King Domain learned that Vatler and the Ocean Tomb’s remaining vampires had disappeared, while the Lion King Organization was blamed for the Island of the Gods’ destruction.
• Akatsuki Kojou discovered that the records of the battle at the Gate of the Foundation had been destroyed, decided to seek help from Tokisaki Company, and left his room.

Akatsuki Kojou visited Kurumi late at night to ask her to recover photos of Himeragi Yukina falling from the Gate of the Foundation building, hoping to learn the truth. Kurumi began hacking the Island of the Gods Company’s system while Kojou accidentally woke Kanon, leaving their private conversation open to other eavesdroppers.

• Akatsuki Kojou arrived at Kurumi and Kanon’s home late at night and asked Kurumi to let him in.
• Kurumi brought Kojou to her bedroom and served him coffee, while her true body remained away and the Kurumi at home was an illusory clone.
• Kojou asked Kurumi to find the photos of Himeragi Yukina falling from the Gate of the Foundation building, and Kurumi agreed to hack the Island of the Gods Company’s computers.
• Kurumi’s Little Red fought the company’s artificial intelligence while restoring and transmitting the destroyed files.
• Kojou tried to make Kurumi fresh coffee but spilled it on her pajamas, waking Kanon, who overheard their exchange.
• Kanon was not the only person eavesdropping in the apartment.

Himeragi Yukina interrupted Akatsuki Kojou and Kurumi after mistaking their coffee-stained study session for something improper, then dragged him home. The next day, Kurumi and Kanon went shopping with Mo Xiao and Kojou, whose argument about their romantic entanglements was interrupted by a question about Yōse Natsune.

• Himeragi Yukina eavesdropped on Akatsuki Kojou and Kurumi, burst into Kurumi’s room, and dragged Kojou away by the ear after seeing the spilled coffee.
• Kurumi examined photos of a dismembered girl with Kanon, then agreed to go swimsuit shopping with Kanon, Nagisa, and Yukina.
• Kanon asked whether Kurumi liked Mo Xiao, and Kurumi said she would date the complete version of him if she could and offered to introduce Kanon to him.

• Mo Xiao and Kojou joined the girls’ shopping trip, where Kanon invited Mo Xiao into a swimsuit shop and Kojou carried most of the bags.
• Mo Xiao and Kojou called each other scumbags over their romantic interests until someone asked Kojou about his relationship with Yōse Natsune.
