We're Even / Not an Angel, but Just as Good as One

He opened his eyes and sat bolt upright in bed, shouting, "Index!"

Yuxian saw that the first thing he thought of after waking up was Index, he could only admire him for being worthy of being Kamijou Touma, always thinking of others first instead of himself.

When Index saw that Touma had woken up, she said happily, "Touma, you're finally awake! A friend has come to see you."

At this moment, Kamijou Touma noticed Yuxian and his group. He said somewhat embarrassedly, "Oh, it's you guys. Thank you for coming to see me. I'm fine now."

"Are you really alright?" Yuxian shook his head, not calling him out on it.

He took out the packed food and said, "Eat something first. You must be very hungry after being unconscious for three days."

"Three days!" Kamijou Touma surprise. Today was Index's final deadline.

He was anxious and, forgetting to eat, immediately inquired about Index's condition.

Yuxian advised, "Why don't you eat first? There's no rush."

Kamijou Touma finally suppressed his anxiety and started eating.

He quickly finished his food and then asked about Index's condition.

Yuxian didn't interrupt his conversation with Index until they looked like they were about to part ways, then he couldn't help but say:

"Those kinds of lies without any scientific basis can only fool people who don't know anything. As a student of Academy City, a city of science, don't you even understand such a simple principle?"

Kamijou Touma quickly realized the crux of the problem: they had never verified the fact that Index needed her memories erased; they had only learned about it from the church.

"You mean..."

Section 187, Chapter Fourteen: No One Owes Anything

Yuxian's reminder Kamijou Touma realize that things were probably not that simple.

He picked up the phone and called Komoe-sensei to inquire about Index's 'perfect memory ability'.

As expected, Komoe-sensei's explanation confirmed what Yuxian had said.

Index's complete memory ability and the 103,000 magic books she memorized did not have such a serious impact on her brain capacity.

The claim that she has insufficient brain capacity and needs to have her memories deleted every year is a complete hoax.

"The reason is simple: the 103,000 books of magic in her memory are of great importance, and she needs to be effectively controlled to prevent her from betraying them. So she lied and said that she needs to have her memories erased every year in order to live safely."

Yuxian scoffed at this tactic, saying there are many ways to gain loyalty, and this was the worst one.

Just look at Index now; she's still free from those people's control.

There may be some unseen forces at play, but a major reason is that Index only has one year of memories, so she instinctively relies on Kamijou Touma, whom she has only known for a short time and who is very kind to her.

"What should we do? What should we do?"

Kamijou Touma paced back and forth in the room, muttering to himself.

"Touma..."

Index called out softly as she saw his anxious expression.

While he was pacing back and forth, hesitating.

The sound of the door opening came from the doorway; it was Komoe-sensei returning.

"Kamijou, I don't know what's going on, but these two seem to be your guests."

Komoe-sensei opened the door, followed by Kanzaki Kaori and Stiyl Magnus.

"Huh? There are other guests at home?" Komoe-sensei said with a puzzled look when she walked in and saw Yuxian and his group.

Yuxian greeted Komoe-sensei politely, saying, "Sorry to bother you."

Kamijou Touma saw Kanzaki Kaori and Stiyl, he immediately rushed over. He now knew it was a scam and was disgusted by their attempt to erase Index's memories. He argued with them agitatedly.

Yuxian had no intention of bothering them at all; he was more interested in Komoe-sensei.

This is a legal loli.

He and Komoe-sensei chatted enthusiastically, oblivious to everyone else around them.

After Kamijou Touma finally explained the situation to Kanzaki Kaori, everyone sat down together to discuss serious matters.

"Since you know this is a scam, I absolutely will not allow you to erase Index's memories!" Kamijou Touma's attitude was resolute.

What are you going to do?

Kanzaki Kaori Index and doesn't want Index's memories to be erased, as that would be extremely painful for her as well.

"Use my right hand to destroy the True Magic device placed on Index!"

Kamijou Touma finished speaking, he used his right hand to touch Index's face, attempting to use Imagine Breaker to solve the problem.

"Touma!"

Index puffed out her cheeks and showed her anger Kamijou Touma pulled her face back and forth.

Kamijou Touma Index spoke, Index immediately realized that the True Magic device might be inside Index's mouth, a place he couldn't reach.

He said to Index, "Index, open your mouth wide and let me see."

Yuxian finally couldn't help but speak up, "Are you trying to blow up Komoe-sensei's house by destroying the True Magic device here?"

"He's right. Since the church tampered with Index, they must have taken other precautions." Kanzaki Kaori nodded, agreeing with Yuxian's statement.

Now that a solution has been found, Kamijou Touma is not in a hurry.

The group left Komoe-sensei's house and found an empty, open space. They first set up True Magic circle around the area to prevent the damage from spreading.

Then they went through the process again and again, completely isolating this place from the outside world with True Magic circle.

Yuxian quietly stood by and watched; he didn't go up to help.

However, he privately informed Mash and the others, telling them to be prepared, as they might need to intervene later, and to take precautions in advance.

When everything was ready, Kamijou Touma put his right fingers into Index's mouth and touched the 'collar' inside her mouth.

Sure enough, as soon as the 'collar' was destroyed, Index entered 'automatic memorization' mode.

When Index enters automatic spellbook mode, she can automatically search the 103,000 spellbooks in her mind and find the corresponding True Magic for defense.

The idea that she can't use True Magic is a complete hoax; in reality, Index herself is a very dangerous weapon.

"Sanctuary of Saint George".

Index activated defensive True Magic.

Saint George?

Yuxian blinked, feeling a little regretful that Teacher Qiao hadn't come to Academy City with him; otherwise, it would have been very interesting for him to witness this scene.

Index in her auto-writing state is incredibly powerful; it would be difficult for Kamijou Touma to handle her alone, and even with Imagine Breaker, they would struggle greatly.

Being a quiet observer might not be a big problem, but since I'm here, I might as well lend a hand.

It's quite a pity that such a supercomputer as 'Tree Diagram Designer' was destroyed; it's better to let this cutting-edge technology continue to function.

Even though it may be used for many dark things, it will ultimately have many beneficial effects on humanity.

The 'Tree Diagram Designer' is innocent.

After thinking this through, Yu Yuxian quickly made a decision.

"Mash!"

Yuxian instantly cast Command Spells on Mash; at this moment, Mashu was the most reliable.

Mash was already prepared; Yuxian had just told her about the possible scenarios.

She rushed forward to stand in front of Kamijou Touma, holding her shield in front of her and instantly unleashing her Noble Phantasm.

[The Lord Camelot (Lord Camelot)]!

The massive Camelot blocked Index's attacks; even the 'Dragon's Breath' could not shake this sacred barrier.

"Kamijou, go and make Index stop now!"

Yuxian immediately reminded Kamijou Touma that it was the best option to have Touma stop it at this time, as anyone else might be likely to hurt Index.

Without hesitation, Kamijou Touma rushed out and used his right hand to hold Index's head down. 'Imagine Breaker' erased 'Saint George Sanctuary' and pulled her out of her auto-book state.

After Index recovered, Yuxian and his team made their way out of the situation and did not linger.

Before leaving, he waved to Kamijou Touma and said, "Consider this a thank you gift for helping the kids last time."

Kamijou Touma is such a nuisance; it's better if we don't owe each other anything.

Yuxian happily hummed a little tune as he walked toward the hospital where Nightingale was.

"It's a little late. I hope the head nurse isn't too busy right now," Yuxian thought to himself.

Chapter 15, Section 188: Not an angel, but better than an angel

By the Yuxian arrived at the hospital, it was already very late, and it was dark outside.

Yuxian did not find Nightingale in the ward area.

He thought to himself, "Have they already closed for the day?"

After asking around without success, Yuxian patiently searched the hospital. Nightingale's movements were limited to this hospital, so she must still be here.

Suddenly he noticed a convoy of container trucks driving into the hospital. So many container trucks coming to the hospital so late at night must mean something was wrong.

Curious, Yu Yuxian quietly followed them.

Following behind, they arrived at the research building of the Heaven Canceller.

The Heaven Canceller, Kiyama Harumi, and Nightingale were all here, and he also saw Misaka Mikoto present.

Misaka Mikoto is indeed a very helpful citizen; you can see her everywhere.

A woman stepped out of the car; she was Therestina Leveren, Kihara Gensei's granddaughter.

She came to receive the ten children who had been gathered here by the Heaven Canceller.

Seeing this, Yuxian stopped trying to hide and led everyone over.

"Wow, it's so late, why is it still so lively here?"

He greeted everyone warmly, seemingly oblivious to the tense atmosphere.

Therestina's reasons for taking in those children were perfectly legitimate.

She produced official documents, giving a very plausible and compelling reason that was impossible to refuse.

Although Kiyama Harumi was extremely unwilling, he gritted his teeth and accepted the result.

Her research encountered a major challenge: she lacked the most crucial data, namely the Initial Sample from the 'Ability Crystallization Experiment'.

Yuxian Xian said calmly, "Is it really a good idea to let Kihara Gensei's granddaughter take these children away?"

"Kihara Gensei's granddaughter?"

Kiyama Harumi was shocked to hear this and rushed towards Therestina like a madwoman. At that moment, she was very glad that the children had not been taken away.

Before the two could even start fighting, Kiyama Harumi swiftly pulled Mash Harumi away. This was a hospital, and with Nightingale present, a fight would be disastrous.

Mash knew this, which is why she intervened.

Kiyama Harumi could only glare fiercely at Therestina, looking as if he wanted to devour her.

Nightingale stepped forward and said coldly, "What are you doing in front of the patients?"

Her expression was very serious, and her eyes were dangerous. She wouldn't hesitate to use force if anyone dared to make a move here.

Furious that Yuxian had exposed her identity, Therestina ignored Nightingale's warning and, with a frenzied expression, ordered her subordinates to use force.

Under normal circumstances, the children around Yuxian would definitely like him very much.

In a different setting, they would definitely be eager to show off their skills.
