Chapter 90

Although full of questions, Kamijou Touma, Stiyl, and Index still followed Janice's request and arrived at a fence behind the amusement park in advance, waiting for the start of the feint attack.

"Hey, Stiyl."

"What is it?"

"Do you really think it's possible to complete all the tasks within the specified time?" Regarding the tasks assigned by Janice, although Kamijou Touma accepted them, he was still somewhat worried, and what Tsukimura had said earlier also troubled him.

"To be honest, it's very difficult," Stiyl turned around and looked at Kamijou Touma, "Actually, there's one piece of information we didn't tell the Roman Catholic Church: Godou Kiriya, who was supposed to be in Britain, has disappeared."

"Godou has disappeared?" Kamijou Touma was a bit surprised. What did Godou's movements have to do with this operation?

"Probably to act on behalf of her former subordinates... no, her comrades. If they want to exterminate the Kanzaki family, that saint will likely attack. So don't be naive and think you can complete all the tasks, but..." Thinking of Tsukimura's words, Stiyl paused, sensing something was off, "Maybe it's not necessary to complete all the tasks."

"If that's the case, can we prioritize rescuing Ossola?" Kamijou Touma still felt guilty about Ossola being kidnapped in front of him.

"That doesn't matter. If no one can interpret it, having the Book of Law is useless... if the Book of Law really exists." As a fellow religious person, Stiyl, who understood the Roman Catholic Church's style, had already guessed the truth of the matter.

While Kamijou Touma and Stiyl were talking, Tsukimura was flying in the sky above the amusement park with ice wings, acting as a supervisor.

Everyone saw a blue figure flying into the air, with Tsukimura's form appearing cold under the frosty wings.

Although Tsukimura was flying in the air, neither side could do anything to him. The Kanzaki family didn't have any aerial attack spells prepared, so they could only have one of their strongest, the spear wielder Itsuwa, keep a close eye on Tsukimura.

The nuns from the Roman Catholic Church looked fierce when they saw Tsukimura's appearance, as the use of such an image by the "Science Side" felt like a desecration of their faith.

Although Janice was also annoyed, she understood the current situation. It was unrealistic to deal with a top-tier "Science Side" combatant near the "Science Side" headquarters, and they still had to complete their assigned task—bringing back Ossola.

Janice raised her staff and waved it forward, and this gesture made all the nuns start attacking the amusement park.

After realizing the feint attack had begun, Kamijou Touma, Stiyl, and Index infiltrated from the back of the amusement park, starting to search for Ossola.

Once inside the amusement park, the three were quickly discovered. Several members of the Kanzaki family, wielding sharp blades, attacked Kamijou Touma and Stiyl. To protect Index, Stiyl used magic to create a phantom and stayed behind, while he took Index and disappeared early, leaving Kamijou Touma with a cross to attract the enemies' attention.

After dodging the pursuit, Kamijou Touma unexpectedly ran into Ossola, who was trying to escape amidst the chaos.

Ossola still had a good impression of Kamijou Touma, as he was someone who helped her without expecting anything in return. Although the Kanzaki family also claimed to help, Ossola still trusted the man in front of her, who was willing to help her even though he knew nothing.

However, Ossola was still a bit curious about why Kamijou Touma was involved, so she asked, "By the way, do you have any connection with the Roman Catholic Church?"

"Well... I know some people from the British Puritan Church."

"So, you are not associated with the Roman Catholic Church but with the British Puritan Church, right?"

"No... not really." Kamijou Touma didn't know what to say. Could he tell her he was the guardian of the Index Librorum Prohibitorum? He considered Index a family member.

"You're right. Someone like you should avoid getting involved with our church world." Ossola, who deeply understood the dark side of the church, didn't want Kamijou Touma to get entangled.

"Indeed, this thing is useless to me." However, Kamijou Touma didn't realize the meaning behind Ossola's words and took out the cross Stiyl had given him.

Stiyl already understood that the highest bishop had given him the cross to save Ossola, but clearly, Ossola didn't trust anyone except that young man. So, he decided to take a chance.

Seeing the cross in Kamijou Touma's hand, Ossola saw a glimmer of hope: "Is this from your friend in the British Puritan Church?"

"Yes, if you can, please keep it for me. I don't really know its value." Kamijou Touma didn't realize what he was saying.

"Really?"

"Yes."

"I have a request." Ossola, excited, grabbed Kamijou Touma's hands.

Kamijou Touma, caught off guard by Ossola's actions, was a bit nervous: "W... What request?"

"Can you put it on me yourself?"

"Sure... I can do that." Kamijou Touma, who had agreed to Ossola's request, didn't understand the significance of the act.

Tsukimura, watching from the sky, smiled when he saw Kamijou Touma put the cross on Ossola.

Tsukimura had been impatient for a long time. Why did he have to be sent to this place to accompany the Roman Catholic Church in such a farce right after returning to Academy City? So, the moment he saw Ossola put on the cross, Tsukimura decided to intervene. As for the reason?

"Everyone, stop!" With Tsukimura's words, countless ice spikes fell from the sky, landing in front of everyone fighting inside the amusement park.

"Why! Aren't you the supervisor? Why are you intervening!" Janice was very upset, but she also knew she could only complain to get a result.

"Just now, under my supervision, Ossola voluntarily had someone put on the cross of the British Puritan Church for her. Do you understand?"

Ossola's action indicated that she had accepted the protection of the British Puritan Church. At this moment, if the Roman Catholic Church wanted to act against Ossola, it would be a provocation to the British Puritan Church.

In reality, the Roman Catholic Church didn't take the British Puritan Church seriously, but Tsukimura's next words stunned everyone: "I have determined that the search is over. Given that the amusement park is 60% owned by the Tsukimura family, any further combat here will be considered a provocation against me, Tsukimura!"

...

Although Tsukimura's words were hard to argue with, his meaning was clear. If the Roman Catholic Church wanted to escalate, they would have to fight against the Kanzaki family, the British Puritan Church, and Tsukimura. And from the ice spikes spread throughout the amusement park, Tsukimura's strength...

Janice was now deeply considering whether to maintain the dignity of the Roman Catholic Church through combat or to admit the failure of the operation.

Janice originally wanted to continue fighting because she didn't want to return to a life of loneliness and isolation due to the failure of the mission. But the next event was unexpected, even for Tsukimura.

Just as Janice was about to attack everyone and forcibly arrest Ossola, something unexpected happened. Midnight arrived, and a vortex opened, revealing a gray beast? Or a human? In any case, a creature that looked human but was covered in a gray, horn-like layer and devoid of reason appeared in the center of the amusement park.

PS: From this chapter onwards, the plot of this book will begin to develop into a chaotic situation. Readers who want to read a pure "A Certain Magical Index" fanfiction can stop here. Although I apologize to some readers who have been following this book, I had already written the outline and will not change it. I hope for your understanding.

Regarding the subsequent plot, I have already hinted at it. I wonder how many readers have noticed. Please look forward to it.
