“…… By the way, you said that someone was chasing you, but who was the person who was chasing you? ”

"Well......" said the girl in a voice that seemed a little thirsty, "I don't know either." Maybe it's 'Rose Cross' or 'Golden Dawn'. I can guess who are the organizations, but I don't know the names of those people...... And the name doesn't make sense to them either. ”

"Them?"

Kamijo repeated in confusion. Is the opponent a group, is it an organization?

But Intix, who was being chased, was very calm, and said after a "hmm":

"They're a magical society."

"What? Magic......? Belch...... What's that? Did I hear it wrong? ”

"Ah...... Hey......? Belch...... Is the Japanese I speak weird? I mean MAGIC! MAGICCABAL！ ”

"......" was explained by her in English, and Shangjo was even more confused: "What the hell is that?" Are you talking about the mysterious new religion, the organization that makes people take strange drugs and then brainwashes them under the doctrine that 'those who do not believe in their ancestors will be punished by God'? That sounds dangerous. ”

“…… You're kind of a joke, aren't you? ”

"Uh......"

“…… You're kind of a joke, aren't you? ”

“…… Sorry, I can't. I can't believe that magic exists. I'm familiar with the power of fire and the power of vision, but when it comes to magic, I really can't believe it. ”

“……？”

Intex tilted her head in thought.

If you are an ordinary person who embraces scientific omnipotence, you will definitely shout: "There is nothing in the world that science cannot prove!" ”

However, there really is some kind of "supernatural power" in Uejo's right hand.

As long as you have this supernormal "power of supernatural ability" called "Fantasy Killer". Even miracles that appear only in mythology are completely invisible.

"In this school city. Superpowers are not unusual. As long as the medicine is injected into the vein, an electric current is applied to the neck. Listening to the special rhythm of the headphones by ear, anyone's head can be 'developed'. Everything can be explained by science, and who can not admit its existence? ”

“…… I don't quite understand what you're saying. ”

"I don't understand! All in all, superpowers are a real thing! ”

“…… So why can't magic? Magic is also a matter of course! ”

Intix had a disgruntled look on her face, and it felt like someone was criticizing your pet for being just a mongrel cat.

"Uh...... I'll say so, do you know how to guess boxing? Hey, wait, is guessing boxing a common culture in the world? ”

“…… I guess it's Japanese culture, but I know it. ”

"Let's say you guess ten times in a row and lose ten times in a row. Do you think there would be a reason for this? ”

“…… Hmmm......"

"Of course there's no reason, right? But humans will think that there is a force manipulating! Kamijo said in a boring tone: "Ordinary people think how can they be so unlucky, there must be an invisible law in this." And when one thinks like this, what happens if the element of 'astrology' is mixed in? ”

“…… For example, 'You're a Cancer, and your luck is bad right now, so don't gamble!' Something like that, right? ”

"That's how the 'magic, mystical powers' and the like that surround us are actually created. There is an invisible law in which people imagine their fortunes. Treating trivial things that happen by chance as fate is 'magic'. ”

Intix, like an unhappy cat, pursed her lips for a long time before she said:

“…… It seems that you don't believe it for no reason. ”

"yes. However, it is because I have thought about it carefully. That's why I can't believe those ridiculous claims. Who can believe that magicians in fairy tale books really exist? If you can resurrect the dead by spending MP, who still plays superpower development? How can I believe in 'magic' that has no scientific basis at all? ”

As for those who do not believe in the existence of "superpowers". It's just a bunch of fools.

In this school city,"Superpowers" are already a kind of common sense.。 It can be explained rationally by science.

“…… But there's magic! ”

Intix pouted. Maybe. "Magic" has become a pillar of her soul to her, just like the meaning of "Fantasy Killer" to Shangjo.

"Alright, whatever. Then why are they chasing you—"

“…… It's really magical! ”

“……”

"There's really magic!"

Looks like she's going to admit it anyway.

"Well, tell me, what exactly is magic? Can you release a fireball from your hand? Even if you don't have our superpower course, can you release fireballs? If you put on a show and let me see it, then I might believe it. ”

"I don't have magic, so I can't use it."

“……”

How is this different from the imposters who say, "The camera is distracting me, so I can't bend the spoon"?

Having said that, in fact, Kamijo's heart is also very complicated.

Although it is said that there can be no such thing as magic, in fact, Kamijo is completely ignorant of the ins and outs of his right hand ability, the "Fantasy Killer". How, exactly? What power is there in that invisible air? Even the school city, which is at the peak of the world's superpower development, can't find out this "ability" of the upper article through a physical examination.,That's why he's labeled as a "level zero incapacitator".。

And it's not acquired after taking a course of development that is in line with scientific principles, it's an innate ability in the right hand.

Although he always says that "there can be no magic in this world", he does have "unrealistic" powers that transcend common sense.

…… But this should not lead to the unfounded conclusion that magic may exist if there are incredible powers in the world.

“…… There's really magic! ”

The last article "sighs" and sighs:

"Okay. Let's say there's magic. ”

"Hypothetical?"

"Let's say there's magic," Kamijo continued ignoring her interjection, "Then why are you being chased by those people?" Does it have anything to do with your outfits? ”

The above article refers to the pure white silk gold thread embroidered ultra-luxurious monastic dress worn by Intix. In other words, it is actually asking "whether religious beliefs are involved".

“…… Because I'm a forbidden book catalog. ”

"Huh?"

"I think what they want. It must be the 103,000 magic books I have. ”

“…… Why do I get more and more confused the more I listen? ”

"Why do you look like you don't want to pay attention to me the more I explain it? You're an impatient person, huh? ”

"Okay, I'll sum it up. I don't know what that 'Demon Path Book' is. It's just a 'book', right? Something like a Chinese dictionary? ”

"Well, the Book of Lamentation, the Book of Solomon's Little Key, the Book of the Nameless, the Book of Cannibal Sacrifices, the Book of the Dead...... That's probably all there is to it. Because the necromancy book is so famous, there are a lot of Yaliu and forgeries, so it may not be very credible. ”

"Uh...... I don't care what the book is about......"

Shangjo swallowed back the sentence "It's not writing some nonsense anyway".

"You said there were 100,000 copies—where?"

Only this, in any case, must be figured out. 100,000 books, you can build a library.

"Mean, do you have the key to a warehouse with you?"

"No," said Intix, shaking her head, "I have 103,000 books with me." ”

- What? Kamijo frowned.

“…… It's hard to say what you're going to say next. Only idiots can't see those books? ”

"You can't see it even if you're not stupid! It doesn't make sense if everyone sees it. ”

Every word of Intix's words was incomprehensible, as if she was being played with again. Kamijo looked a little left and right, and there were no ghost books, only game magazines, comics, and summer vacation homework scattered on the floor.

“…… Alas......"

I've been patient.,Now I finally can't bear it anymore.。

Maybe even the fact that "someone is chasing me" is just her delusion. If you think about it yourself, you really jump out of the roof of an eight-story building, and then you fail to jump, and you get stuck on the balcony. This kind of person must not have anything to do with her.

“…… Isn't it strange to believe in superpowers, but not magic? Intex pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "And are superpowers so great?" Even if you have a little special ability, you can't look down on people because of it! ”

"Hmm. You're right! Kamijo sighed softly, "That's right, you're right. It's just a little trick, but it's used to classify people. That's a terrible idea! ”

Kamijo looked down at his right hand.

The right hand does not emit flames or lightning, does not emit light or makes a sound. Of course, there are no strange lines on the wrists.

However, Kamijo's right hand can destroy any "supernatural power". Good and evil, good and bad. Even the miraculous abilities that appear in mythology are the same.

"However, for the people in this city, superpowers are like a kind of spiritual pillar, so don't pursue it too much. In fact, I'm part of that group. ”

"It's good to know, stupid! Hmph, why do you want to mess up your mind, the spoon can be bent by hand. ”

“……”

"Hmph, what's so stinky about a man who has given up his natural colors and pursued acquired skin? Hum. ”

“…… Can I gag your talking locomotive's mouth? ”

"Violent ...... Violence doesn't frighten me! Intix looked like an unhappy cat: "And you've been a superpower since you just opened and closed your mouth, what kind of superpower do you have yourself?" ”

“…… Uh, about this...... How do you explain it......"

Kamijo was a little troubled.

I rarely have the opportunity to explain the ability of "fantasy killer" to others. And since this ability only reacts to "superpowers", it would be useless to explain it if the other party did not accept the concept of "superpowers and superpowers" at all.

"Well, it's my right hand...... Ah, let me declare first, this is a natural material, not a synthetic color! ”

"Oh."

"Just touch it with this right hand...... Any special ability, whether it is a nuclear explosion-level fireball or a strategic-level super electromagnetic cannon, or a miracle of the gods will be destroyed, and that's all. ”

"Huh?"

“…… What kind of eyes are you? It's as if you've seen a mail-order catalog of some magical lucky crystal! ”

"Ouch...... I'm a little embarrassed that someone who has never even heard of God's name tells me anything that can destroy God's miracles—"

Intex actually gouged her ear with her little finger and laughed.

“…… Hmm, I'm! I didn't expect to be ridiculed by a fake magical girl who said, 'Magic really exists, but I can't prove it to you', and I'm really angry......"

Hearing this muttering from the previous one, Intix seemed to be angry as well.

"I ...... I'm not a fake magical girl! Magic is real! (To be continued......)
