I am the celebration monster of Academy City

But the more this happened, the more Kanzaki Kaori resisted.They... don't they have to play the bad guy just to avoid such a thing from happening?

"Good man please pause."

Kamijou Touma was torturing Stiyl while listening to Omizu Yuu's explanation, while Brunhilde listened to him as if it had nothing to do with him.Only Index, who "knows nothing" about it, listened intently to Yuu Kanizumi's explanation.

Or to put it this way, Yuu Kanizumi started this to explain to Kamijou Touma and Index.Only the two of them were caught by the riddle.

"Okay, let Index-san ask questions."

"I don't have any memories of these things! It's impossible for me to forget these things with absolute memory ability, but I only have memories of a year ago."

"Good question, this is also the reason why you were chased and killed by your companions and former friends."

Gan Quanyou snapped his fingers, and said to Index in admiration.

"Are there any rewards?"

Index looked at Gan Quanyou with radiance.

Things and mutual concern have become so chaotic that Index is too lazy to think about it.

Rather than worrying about it yourself, it's better to wait for Gan Quanyou to give himself an answer, anyway, that's how Gan Quanyou behaved.

"Hmm...reward...wait a minute, I remember Touma secretly brought pudding for myself yesterday, I'll get it for you."

"Uh..." Kamijou Touma, who was teasing Stiles, stopped.

Stiyl raised his head suddenly, hoping to bite Kamijou Touma's finger, but was slapped on the back of the head by Brunhild next to him, almost hitting his face on the table.

"Asshole, didn't you buy it too, why did you take mine!"

"Oh, mine was eaten by Brunhilde yesterday, and it's gone."

Yuu Kanizumi, who came back with Kamijou Tomapudding, said lightly.

Kamijou was hesitant to speak, and he stopped talking, and finally saw Index's happy and excited face, but he still didn't say anything.

"Ayou, why don't you explain it from the beginning. How long will it take to squeeze this little bit?"

Kamijou Touma didn't do nothing, he figured out one thing while teasing Stiyl.

Normal people want to explain one thing - because of this, so that, and then this.Cause and effect, narrative logic, trying to make people understand in a simple and clear way.

The Riddler wants to explain one thing—to give a conclusion directly, without waiting for someone to ask "why" before telling the missing premise.

Then why did it lead to such a result, ask again, and answer again.You don't want to talk until someone else cheers you on.If you don't like it, don't talk about it like I think you all understand and don't bother to say more.

As for Ganquan Yuming, who is an academy city like himself, a student on the science side, why did he accept that there is such a thing as magic in the world so easily.

Alchemist, Puritanism, Necessary Evil, Magic and other names and superpowers, levels of understatement popped out of his mouth.

There are so many things like intelligence that are obviously not something ordinary people can investigate, Kamijou Touma has given up thinking about it.

Anyway, as long as Gan Quanyou is still his bad friend.

Gan Quanyou, who sat down again, paused for a moment, and continued to explain while looking at the record of encountering demons with nothing.

"Index, the reason why your memory is only one year is because your memory will be erased every other year. In other words, your memory will always be only one year in these years."

Kamijou Touma: "..."

Didn't listen at all. Hey!Although it seems to be an explanation on the surface, the reason for saying this is really to make people ask "why the memory is cleaned".

Seemingly noticing Kamijou Touma's subtle emotions, Kanizumi Yuu glanced at him, and parted his mouth to reveal a sunny smile.

"Sorry, but once you get used to it, you can't change it."

Kamijou Touma: "..."

Chapter 81 People who are ugly need to read more books

"Full memory ability."

Kanzaki Kaori suddenly spoke.

She stretched out her hand to support her head, her voice was very weak, her appearance was very helpless, she was not at all as ferocious as the human weapon that fought Brunhilde just now, at this moment she was just a tired ordinary girl.

"In fact, it's not just that, Index also has a special constitution that is immune to magic book poison. In your eyes, Index may be just the most ordinary girl, but in the eyes of the upper echelons of the church, that's not the case.

It's very simple to think about it. Being immune to the toxins of the original scriptures means that you can read and learn the knowledge in the original scriptures. The ability to fully memorize can be recorded by just looking at it.Such a person will become a natural disaster if he is not careful. "

Because of Kanzaki Kaori's opening, everyone's eyes focused on her.

Raising his eyebrows, Gan Quanyou pressed his hand on the blank page and stopped making a sound.

"Therefore, the church has dealt with Index. Now she looks like an ordinary person, she can only keep the magic book but cannot use magic. This is the result of the adjustment.

Let me explain it this way, more than 85% of her brain capacity has been taken up by one hundred and three thousand magic books, and she can only rely on the remaining 15% to barely maintain her function... But even so, her ability is still Comparable to ordinary people. "

The implication is that only relying on 15% of the brain capacity is the same as ordinary people. If the remaining 85% is used, it will be terrible.

When he said this, a painful and lonely expression appeared on Kanzaki Kaori's face.After several seconds of silence, she straightened her mind and continued.

"Index, the reason why you only have this year's memory is because I erased your memory last time, a year ago."

"Uh..." Just looking at the expression on Kanzaki Kaori's face, one can understand that what she said was definitely not a lie.

That kind of pain, a year ago, there must have been a deep friendship between her and Index that was difficult for others to understand.However, that all disappeared with this sentence.Because of what she did in this sentence.

Index, who was holding a small spoon, suddenly couldn't feel the sweetness of the pudding.

"Why...why...why do you have to do this kind of thing to me...is it me, did I do something wrong?"

"No, it's not you, it's us who are wrong."

Kanzaki Kaori almost cried out.Steele also no longer entangled in the issue of one or two cigarettes.With lowered eyes, she silently watched Kanzaki Kaori ruthlessly peeling off the unhealed scar.

"Because of this kind of processing, the brain capacity you can use is only 15% of that of ordinary people. If you keep memorizing like ordinary people, the space will be filled soon.

At that time, it will be life-threatening. In order to prevent you from being in danger, you can only empty that 15% of your brain capacity every other year and start over.Even if... that means you lose the most precious memory of that year. "

"Uh……"

"Wait, wait, something is wrong. Didn't you say that Index is just like a normal person? I don't need to clear my memory every few years."

Kamijou Touma is most afraid of such a situation.It is not simply acting for one's own selfish desires, not simply acting out of "badness".

What I am most afraid of is having such difficulties.Because this means that he can't simply wave his right hand to solve the problem. What Kamijou Touma longs for is an ending where everyone can come back with a smile.

So instinctively, Kamijou Touma started looking for a possible solution to the dilemma.

"Just 'like' normal people.Have you forgotten, absolute memory ability.Ordinary people have the automatic cleaning mechanism of forgetting.

Useless information will be removed.But Index is different, how many things she can see at a glance, maybe how many fragments there will be on the ground at a glance now, she will remember clearly in a year.

This amount of information, this kind of junk information is piling up all the time.So since she couldn't forget by herself, she had to rely on external force to make her forget, otherwise she would not be able to continue living. "

"Now you probably know why we did this. If you understand, don't stop us anymore. Really, it's really enough for some inexplicable people to appear at the last critical moment."

Stiyl's words were as arrogant as ever, but this time there were other things mixed in the words.

That probably means "Now that you know it, don't get involved, let us handle it."

Stiyl is using his own way to warn Kamijou Touma, Kanizumi Yuu and others not to form more friendship and bond with Index.The deeper the bond, the more painful it will be when Index's memory is erased at the end.

"Originally, I didn't want to hurt her either...I didn't know that the effect of moving the church on her body disappeared...I thought I would never cut her...I'm not willing to do this kind of thing..."

Finally, Kamijou Touma understood the meaning of Kanzaki Kaori's words.

The reason may be funny.Just playing the bad guy won't bond with Index in the new year.

In this way, when Index's memory is finally erased, Index will not be sad because of reluctance.The idea is downright ridiculous.

But Kamijou Touma couldn't laugh, because Kanzaki Kaori and Stiyl had to endure torture to force their former partners to flee after making such a decision.No matter how painful you are inside, you can't show it.

The real narrator: Kanzaki Kaori.

False (crossed out) funny narrator: Gan Quanyou.

Index was at a loss for words.She shouldn't have believed the words of the enemy who had been chasing her all this time, but after Kanzaki Kaori's words came out of her mouth, she accepted the fact without even thinking about it.

Memories may be lost, relationships may be erased.But there must be something left in her body.

"Just... is there no other way to save Index?"

It's like checking the test paper with hopeless hopes to see if the teacher has corrected the mistakes after the test results have come down.

"No. If there is, do you think we won't try it!!"

Breathing stopped completely—the heat of a midsummer tropical night felt on the skin, dropped in one breath for no reason.The senses of the whole body gradually blurred as if they wanted to escape from reality.

It's almost like... turning into a corpse.

The air became heavy, like viscous mercury, making it difficult to breathe.

"So, let's finish talking, then let me talk about it."

Gan Quanyou's voice was unusually pleasant.This kind of pleasure is like being able to draw happiness from the pain of others.This kind of voice appeared at this moment, and it seemed extremely harsh.

Not only Stiyl glared at Gan Quanyou.Even Kamijou Touma frowned.

"What Kanzaki Kaori said is basically consistent with the information I have investigated, and there is no discrepancy. This means that she has no intention of lying."

"So?" Kanzaki Kaori said to Gan Quanyu coldly.

"If you want to laugh at us who can't do anything, then feel free."

"I really want to laugh at you. It's better to say that I have given you a lot of face by not laughing out loud now."

"Ayou—"

Stretching out his hand to close up the Encountering Demon Advent Record spread on the table, Gan Quanyou crossed his fingers to support the bridge of the nose, covering the part below the nose.He only left his burning eyes to stare at the three people who were glaring at him.

It is obvious that Yuu Kanizumi is the "inhuman" side, but Kamijou Touma, Stiyl, and Kanzaki Kaori slowly feel an inexplicable guilt.

If you want to ask why, it is that the sarcasm in Gan Quanyou's eyes is too confident, so confident that they feel that they have no confidence.

"The story is really touching, and I was almost moved to tears."

Kanizumi Yu's pupils moved to Kanzaki Kaori's side.

"But looking at the essence through the phenomenon, I can also see how knowledge-poor you and this Huofa are. In your barren brains, apart from all kinds of symbols, legends, spells and other things Besides, there is no other space left."

"Knowing... lack of knowledge?"

Kanzaki Kaori repeated the key words with a slight stutter.Since she was a child, it was the first time someone said that to her.

"Also, Touma, you should have failed the memory development class. I really feel sad for you from the bottom of my heart."

"You keep making riddles!!"

Kamijou Touma is furious!He silently raised his sandbag-sized fist.

Then when Gan Quanyou raised his fist, he put it down silently.

"Illiteracy to this degree is considered rare in the world. You deserve to be deceived."

Gan Quanyou pointed to the bookshelf on the edge of the living room.

"I remember that there are books related to the brain, the fifth and No.14 books in the third row. The sixth, seventh, and eighth books in the fifth row. There are also two No.20 books in the sixth row. Hmm... These should be enough for you. Go and find them yourself."

Kamijou Touma and Stiyl could clearly feel Omizu Yuu's contemptuous gaze on them.

"Fire method, Dangma. If you are ugly, you should read more."

Steele: "..."

Kamijou Touma: "..." This bastard not only contemptuously with his eyes, but also said it out! !

"What do you mean...could you say..."

Although he was despised, Gan Quanyou's contempt was so obvious that he didn't cover it up at all.

On the contrary, it shows one thing, that is, he seems to look down on this "dead end" that is hopeless for his side.A faint hope lingered in Kanzaki Kaori's heart.

"People...you need to read more if you are beautiful. Go find it, and then read it for yourself. If you tell you the conclusion directly, you will not believe it, so read the book yourself and draw the conclusion.

Anyway, aren't you magicians also very good at reading and understanding information from various ancient books and records?I think those books can be understood with a little common sense. "

Kamijou Touma, who didn't want to sit and wait, got up and went to Kanizumi Yu's bookshelf to get books together with Kanzaki Kaori.

Taking out those obviously read and commented books from the bookshelf, a familiar feeling enveloped Kamijou Touma.

To ask what it feels like to...

Probably... the feeling of being arranged again.From childhood to adulthood, from junior high school to high school, he was always arranged by Gan Quanyou in this way... No matter what he did, Gan Quanyou was always the one who made up his mind.
