This is an open-air café located close to the bus maintenance yard. There are about ten umbrellas on the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info, and the upper strip is one of them. On the other seats sat the red-haired ** priest and Domimon Motoharu.

"Orianna didn't transport the 'Spike Sword', but the 'Apostle's Cross'?"

"It's both, so to speak." Steele let out an unpleasant puff of smoke, "The vast land of the Holy See should technically begin with the place where the 'Apostolic Cross' was erected. If so, the other way around......"

"The other way around?" When Ma asked.

"Yes, that is to say, the place where the 'apostolic cross' was erected would be completely under the domination of Roman Orthodoxy. Even the school city is no exception.。 ”

Wait a minute......!? When Ma can't help but stop.

Tu Yumen said in a bitter voice:

"The 'Piercing Sword' was originally said to be a 'sword that can pierce dragons and nail to the earth'." He stopped breathing and said, "A huge being with wings, from the guardian of sleeping treasures to the slaughter of selfish desires, such a 'dragon' is an 'angel' who serves God and a hidden meow of a fallen 'demon'. "Nailing the dragon to the ground" also means "turning the earth into a sacred place so that angels will protect it...... These bastards. ”

When Ma took a breath.

There are many questions I want to ask, but words cannot fully express them.

"Wait a minute! What does domination mean? What the hell are those guys going to do here!?"

"The Vatican is a country that is like a huge church as a whole. Ah Shang, that interior space is quite strange. There, the balance of luck and misfortune is distorted, and whatever is done will be in the favor of Roman Orthodoxy. ”

Tu Yumen Hikari explained this, when Ma still can't understand.

Steele went on to say:

"Specifically, the Vatican is full of the magic of direction. Usually things happen in a direction that is favorable to the Roman Orthodox Church. For example, using a magnet to manipulate the casino's roulette wheel, ignoring the original movement of the beads, allowing the beads to roll into the number you want. ”

Hearing this, Dangma still couldn't understand.

The upper body was weak, and the earth gate lying on the table continued:

"In the history of Crucifixion, for example, St. Martin, in English Puritanism called St. Martin, this guy has a very interesting story. That's the story of when he destroyed the ancient temple of the pagans for the sake of the Crucifixion, and planned to cut down the sacred tree. The outlier peasants, who did not want to become Crusaders, resisted until the end, saying, 'If there really is a god to protect you, you will take the sacred tree we have cut down.' If you are truly blessed by God, you should not die. In the original Tuyu Gate, the mythical story of the Cross Religion can be told casually. This is a picture that is really unfamiliar to the upper strip of the classmate.

Hearing this, St. Martin drew a cross on his chest against the sacred tree that fell towards him. As a result, something unbelievable happened, Shenmu actually fell in the opposite direction, almost crushing the peasants of the Odd Numbers. The peasants were moved by the miracle of the Lord, so they reaped the harvest and believed in the Crucifixion...... Don't you think that's weird? The person who used his incredible ability to make the sacred tree fall to the peasants was obviously St. Martin himself. He could have let Shenmu fall in a safer place, but then again, would it be okay to cut down Shenmu so easily? Why is he still thankful ......?"

"Anyway, the result is that the Shenmu that fell in the opposite direction did not kill the infidels. Because this is the mercy bestowed by the Lord, the peasants who have been given the opportunity to convert are all happy. Whether this outcome is good or bad, their original history, traditions, and spiritual culture have undoubtedly been completely erased. ”

When Ma thought to himself: What is this?

This does give happiness. But that's not "happiness because something happens", it's "happiness no matter what happens."

Tu Yumen raised his head on the table and said:

"In psychology, this technique has been recognized to have a certain degree of effect. First of all, we should realize the qi 'demand A', which is absolutely impossible, and then put forward the original 'demand B' when the other party begs that it cannot be done. In this way, it will be easier to achieve the request than to make 'Request B' at the beginning. It's like, 'It's so much better than A, so lucky'. By manipulating the balance between negative and negative in a certain order, the relative value of happiness can be lowered. ”

Steele shook the cigarette in his mouth up and down, and continued:

"The 'Apostolic Cross' is a psychological exploitation of this myth. No matter what happens, things will go in a direction that is favorable to the Roman Orthodox Church, and the people around them who are being asked of them will accept it for some reason...... This is undoubtedly the most comfortable and pleasant 'holy place' for the Roman Orthodox Church, right?"

The words of the magicians gradually entered Dangma's mind.

It takes some time to understand something of this magnitude.

"Wait a minute, Steele. Speaking of the 'Apostles' deal, what exactly are they going to do with Oriana?"

"If this world is divided into two parts, it can be divided into scientific and magical forces. Now it's just a matter of maintaining balance. Steele replied simply:

"Among them, the leader of the scientific forces is the school city, if this school city is fully under the protection of the Roman Orthodox Church, what do you think the balance of this world will become?"

Ah, when Ma finally thought of it.

The scientific forces, which account for half of the world, can indeed control more than 50% of the world's forces if they become "a certain organization" under the magic forces, with "half of the world's scientific forces + their own organizational power in magic". Then, with the simple principle of majority resolution, you can manipulate the world as you like.

What's more,

If that is the largest sect of the Crucifixion, Roman Orthodoxy.

"If it is attacked by science and magic, an organization or agency that only belongs to the 'one-sided world' cannot be opposed, which is tantamount to being attacked from the belly. The balance of power in the world will be entirely concentrated on the Roman Orthodox side. The Roman Orthodox Church does not have to think about "what to do to bring the school city into the palm of its hand", as long as the "apostolic cross" is inserted in the school city, and then the school city will completely take the action "beneficial to the Roman Orthodox Church".

Specifically, what happens?

Could it be that the Lyceum City Governing Council would suddenly decide to join the patronage of the Roman Orthodox Church?

Or will the entire area of Lyceum fall into a slump and then be at the mercy of the Roman Orthodox Church, the provider of funding?

Or did the school city itself turn to ashes, and as a result, the Inner Roman Orthodox Church led its revival and reconstruction, rather than the Japanese government?

Although I don't know what kind of situation it is, no matter what the situation, it is undoubtedly the most "beneficial" development for Roman Zhengsoft.

And the people of the school city,No matter who you are, you don't have any doubts about the result.。

No matter how unreasonable it may be, no matter how much unreasonable burden they have to carry.

It's a world where everyone can only be happy.

"Then Oriana's deal is ......"

"yes. It's not a 'Piercing Sword' or an 'Apostle's Cross' spiritual clothing item trade, but a school city that is 'conducive to the domination of Roman Orthodoxy', as well as the dominance of the world. ”

Steele. Magnus took a deep breath.

The cigarette in the corner of his mouth lit up orange red because of the oxygen inhaled.

"Delivered by Oriana. Townsend and sender Lidovia. Loren Jetty. There was no other recipient but them - the deal had nothing to do with anyone else. Russian Christianity is suspicious of this is false, because it is something that the Roman Orthodox Church itself has given to itself. ”

He paused, then said one last word.

"Gotta stop this deal. Otherwise, something worse will happen than the destruction of the world. ”

Kamijo Danma and Doomon Motoharu both nodded when they heard it.

But I don't know what the three of them can do.

There is no guarantee that they will win against Oriana. Townsend, and Lidovia behind her. Loren Lashes.

Even so.

They thought that as long as the idea of their own benefit was imposed on the people of the school city, the Roman Orthodoxy would be able to gain world dominance.

"-- I must use this hand to destroy such illusions."

Kamijo made such an oath in his heart, and then clenched his right hand.

"You look serious!"

He was talking to himself in his heart, why did someone suddenly make a strange response, just thinking about it, he suddenly felt the weight on his back increase. There was another breath in his ears, which made Dangma can't help but stand on end with hairs all over his body.

"What... What the!? Who is it? Is it the spirit behind it!! ”

“… I... Hate it...... Ah......" As if to reply to Ying Ma's speculation, a very hoarse and complaining female voice sounded intermittently in his ears.

When Ma shivered, he couldn't help shouting: "Woo oh oh wow, don't look for me." ”

"Poof, hahaha! When you are a kid, your reaction is still a classic! Meimeng pulled open the chair next to Dangma with a big grin, cocked her thighs without a ladylike image, and leaned against the table to let the chair stand on one foot, "I'm still wondering why you ran away from me and Sister Mai Trin?" It turned out that I came to go on a date with my boyfriend. ”

"Hey! Don't use words that make strange associations. And why are you here? ”

"Is your head rusty? Didn't I say I'd provide information if I found something? Sure enough, it's a stupid person! ”

"Don't call me stupid!"

"Wait...... Did you find it so quickly? I really underestimate your intelligence network, big sister. ”

Steele looked at the three people who were talking alone, spit out a puff of smoke unhappily, and frowned, "Shangjo, Tuyumen, what's going on with this guy?" ”

"Speaking of which, Steele hasn't seen it yet!" Tsuchigomon pushed his sunglasses and smiled, "That's what I mentioned on the phone, Ashang's master - Misaka Miyume Meow." ”

What the!?

Steele turned his head to look at Dangma, and saw that he didn't deny it. I looked at the girl in front of me in disbelief.

Black leather boots, black trousers, black shirt, and a black trench coat, the girl in front of her was wearing a set of black outfits, although the dress was a little strange, but Steele knew that it was just ordinary clothing, not a spiritual costume with a special concept.

Although the long brown hair covers the girl's cheeks a little, you can still see that the other party's age is definitely younger than the previous one.

This caught Steele, who had thought she was an older woman, at a loss.

(Author: "You're still too tender, boy.") ―It wouldn't be strange if you knew the real age of Ms. Moe...... Although the actual age of the person in front of you is not even a year old. ”）

At this time, the girl was leaning on the table, leaning on the chair that was swaying and tilting due to the reaction force, taking out a small plastic tube from the pocket of her trench coat, and chewing a few candies everywhere.

Impressions collapsed in every sense......

"Hey! That red-haired boy over there, I didn't think I heard your extremely rude address to the lady before, but I didn't expect to be so uneducated even when I looked at it. ”

"I don't want to be lectured by you, a little girl who doesn't even behave well." Steele frowned, took a puff of his cigarette dissatisfied, and said with a little sarcasm, "When I first heard that it was this kid's master, I thought it was a big man from somewhere, but I didn't expect it to be a stinky girl who didn't even finish junior high school." ”

"Isn't there an old saying in the Celestial Empire that people should not be looked like, who stipulates that a little girl cannot have rich experience." In the face of Steele's provocation, Meimeng didn't show much excitement, squinted her eyes slightly and smiled, "You should also be able to understand this kind of thing, obviously the underage began to drink and smoke." ”

“！？”

The magic comes from the refinement of the life force.

The so-called magician is to refine his life into magic through a special breathing method, and then use it to perform various magic, the same principle as refining gasoline and diesel from oil.

Steele. Magnus used rune cards and coded spells, which required considerable mana. In particular, the frequent use of pope-level techniques such as "Hunting the King of Witches" has caused him to refine too much magical power, and repeated simple work will cause fatigue, and the 'homework' of mana refining also oppresses Steele's body. As a result, the depletion of vitality is relatively fast. This also led to his body entering the prime of life early.

In fact, he was only a fourteen-year-old boy.

Although it's not something to hide. But so easily spit out from the mouth of a girl who belongs to the scientific camp......

For a moment, countless thoughts flashed through Steele's mind.

When their eyes met, there seemed to be crackling sparks between the two.

"Don't look at me so vigilantly, didn't I say? I'm here to provide information. With a flick of his thumb, the candy drew a parabola in the air and fell into his mouth accurately, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, "Information about the 'cross'." ”

“……”

"Anyway, boy, how did you understand my words to secretly take out the card behind your back? Is unrequited love overly abnormal in the head? Meimeng turned her head to look at Dangma, "Apprentice, what is the phone number of the mental hospital?" ”

Dangma: "......"

“…… Tsuchimimon. Before I act, I want to confirm why she is called 'Big Sister' by you. 'Is that okay?' ”

"Ahh Let's talk about this later. It wouldn't be nice if someone got hurt right now, meow......"

"If he wants to go up, let him go to the Tuyu Gate. Sometimes men have to be tamed by their fists. I'll show mercy to him so that he can participate in the operation normally. ”

What kind of handsome lines are like in hot-blooded comics...... Anyway, did I just hear "communication" as "taming" meow......

“！！！！！！！！！！！”

Steele is provoked, and Steele's special attack is greatly increased, and Steele falls into a state of rage.

"Dust to Dust......

"Wait, Steele......"

When Mamasa was about to stop Steele's riot, he heard Sweet Dream's whispering to himself very accidentally.

"Oops, hey~ I was going to turn around and use it as a hemp to show the resentment in my heart, but I didn't expect that someone would automatically come to be a human sandbag. It's really lucky~"

At this moment, Kamijo Dangma stood up quickly, decisively, and quickly, pulling the earth gate and the table and retreating dozens of steps, providing a battlefield for the two of them.

I'm sorry Steele, as the saying goes, a friend of the dead doesn't die ......

"Soil to Earth......

So......

"Vampire hunt the Red Cross! ――”

A huge cross-shaped flame struck the black-robed girl sitting on the chair.

Then it went straight through the girl's body and hit the floor behind it.

Immediately, the girl's body gradually faded into the air.

What happened?!

Steele fell into a momentary stupor, unable to comprehend the current situation.

"Optical offset or something, you can do it through electromagnetic control!"

The girl's voice came abruptly from behind Steele.

Dangerous!

Steele, who is self-aware of his melee abilities, made the most correct judgment at this moment.

-- Distance.

It's a pity that it's too late.

The girl's white wrist grabbed Steele's arm.

"Click!" rang out.

…… Farewell.

When numb couldn't bear to close his eyes.

――――――――――――I'm jumping over the dividing line between torture and killing――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Alright, taming is complete." Misaka Mimu patted the dust off her hands and said with a smile, "Let's get down to business." ”

"Uh...... Until then, I have a question if I want to ask the eldest sister for a meow. The corners of Domimon's mouth twitched, and he carefully used honorific salutations to Mimu.

"Huh? You said. ”

"Will Steele still be able to participate in the operation normally?"

Now the red-haired priest was rolling his eyes and foaming at the mouth, lying on the floor in a very unnatural position, his body trembling slightly from time to time.

Seeing this, Shangjo Dangma couldn't help but think of an extremely similar picture.

- A cockroach that was flattened.

Request a clarification? ok！ Let me summarize -

Dislocate!

Yes? Too brief? ok！ ok！ Let me add a little bit -

Dislocated all over the body!

How! Enough to understand the current situation!

Anyway, the muscles and bones are not so sharp!

"That's why it's just a dislocation!" Meimeng waved her hand indifferently, "Just pick it up!" ”

As it turns out, dislocation is not the same as a fracture, and it can be reduced immediately as long as you have sufficient medical knowledge. Even if the body is damaged to a certain extent, as long as the action can be guaranteed, it is not a loss of combat power for Steele who uses the "Witch Hunting King" to fight.

And the dislocation is very painful......

Mimu Misaka sat Steele in a chair, her little hands groping his body for a moment. After determining the position, exert force-

"Click!"

"Poof, a―――――――――a

It's like the howl of a pig being executed.

…… It seems that the pain of the reset is not small.

"Bang." A knife beckoned to the head.

All right...... Even consciousness is unconscious.

"Hey, Ah Shang...... Although I think it's unlikely to meow. Wouldn't the eldest sister do the same to you? ”

"How is that possible?" Dang Ma smiled blankly, "I just put a rag on my mouth." ”

“……”

Tsuchigomon swears that he can't offend Misaka Mimu even if he dies.

After correcting the misaligned joints of Steele's body, Misaka Miyumu didn't stop there-

The demonic hand wrapped around the blue and white electric snake was slowly reaching towards the struggling lamb......

(Author: "Okay...... I can't bear to read it myself, so skip it! ”）

――――――――――――――――――I'm skipping the dividing line of treatment――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"How? Steele, is you okay physically? ”

"Ahh It will not affect the action. Steele pressed his shoulders up, and then asked a little puzzled, "Anyway, how did I lose, I always feel that after using the 'bloodsucking and killing Red Cross', the next memory is very **." ”

Does the brain block memories out of self-avoidance instincts...... That's fine.

"Well, I'm a good doctor. Originally, I was going to have a good night's rest after that. However, in special cases, I bioelectric to stimulate his brain to produce hyperactivity, and increase the secretion of adrenal hormones a little, so that he will not have mobility problems. ”

"There won't be any after-effects, will it?"

"Rest assured. Yes, but only temporarily. At most, I'll feel a little tired for the next few days. There is also ......" Meimeng smiled lightly, looked at the indifferent Steele, and said: "The kingdom below him can't stand up for the time being." ”

Steele's face froze, and a burning cigarette fell from his fingers.

I see, is it the dignity of men who stabbed him in the end...... Should I say that I really deserve to be the eldest sister (master)?

Tsuchigomon and Kamijo Dangma patted him on the shoulder as a sign of comfort.

Steele's body trembled slightly, and a flush of shame appeared on his face.

"Bastard, I'm going to kill you when I turn around!"

ps: Facing the wall and thinking about it......
