At times like this, there is no need to ask "how did you do it".

Please don't make me say the magic name...

I don't want to say that name again...

"...Why?" Therefore, Kamijou chose to ask another question: "Why? Are you not Index's friend? I can tell from your expression that it's not just that Index likes you unilaterally! Yes For you, Index is also an important friend, right? Why are you doing this?"

Kamijou remembered the smile that Index showed to him.

It is a lonely smile that is only shown to the only friend in the world.

"...because I have to."

"why!?"

Kamijou almost roared at the moon overhead.

"If I don't. Index will die."

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.

"As I said, 85% of her brain capacity has been used to memorize those 15 books." Kanzaki's shoulders trembled slightly, and she continued: "The brain capacity she can use is only that of ordinary people. [-]%, if she continues to 'memorize' like ordinary people, her brain will be saturated immediately."

"how can that be……"

negative.Regardless of any theory and logic, Kamijou is now thinking from a "negative" standpoint.

"This is impossible... This is too strange... Didn't you just say that the remaining 15% can be no different from ordinary people..."

"It's not wrong. But her way of remembering things is different from ours. What she has is full memory." In Kanzaki's tone, the emotion is gradually disappearing: "Do you know what full memory means?"

"...It's the ability to never forget something once you've seen it, isn't it?"

"That's right. But, is the act of 'forgetting' really a bad thing?"

"Human brain capacity is actually smaller than we imagined. Our brain can continue to function for nearly 100 years because the brain can constantly organize memories and forget 'useless memories'. You should not remember what happened a week ago. What did you have for dinner? Everyone sorts out their brains unconsciously, and if you don’t, you can’t go on living.”

Then Kanzaki said in a cold voice:

"But she can't do that."

Hearing this, the trees in the distance had a strange expression on his face, his stomach was messed up in the wind, and he was thinking about a question, that is—whether people in this world are structurally different from other worlds... This is the first time I heard Humans will die due to brain saturation...

Lin Mu felt that if everyone's structure was the same, then there must be a fool among the three present, including himself.He doesn't think he's...

Of course, Kanzaki would not know what the peepers in the dark were thinking.

"The leaves of every street tree, every face of every person in the crowd, the shape of every raindrop falling from the sky... Nothing can be forgotten, so her brain will be filled with these garbage memories in a short time."

Kanzaki continued with an icy voice: "... She only had 15% of her brain capacity left, and with her full memory ability, it was a fatal blow. So since she couldn't 'forget' on her own, she had to rely on external forces. Let her 'forget', or she will not be able to live on."

Kamijou's thoughts completely collapsed.

...What kind of story is this?The unfortunate girl was chased by an evil magician, so a very poor boy ran out to save the girl, and then became good friends with the girl. In the end, the boy saw the girl's back gradually moving away, and felt a tingling pain in his chest... It should have been Such a simple story isn't it?

"It will be troublesome if she is taken away by someone who can use magic, so we are here to protect her."

"Before I say the magic name, I hope you can entrust that girl to my protection."

"...How much time...?" Kamijou asked.

It's not a refutation, but a question... It means that at this time, somewhere in Kamijou's heart has begun to believe.

"How much time is left until her head is burst?"

"The erasure of memory is carried out on a cycle of one whole year." Kanzaki said in a tired voice, "...it will be there in three days. It doesn't matter if it's too early or too late. It must be at exactly that time. , to be able to erase the memory... If the child has a strong headache recently, it should be a sign, right?"

Kamijou felt cold all over his body.Index did say that she lost her memory about a year ago.

And—her headache.Kamijou originally thought it was a side effect of the recovery magic.After all, Index, who knows all about magic, said so herself.

However, what if Index made a wrong judgment?

What if her head is going to break at any time now, but she doesn't know it?

"Now can you understand our position?"

Kanzaki Kaori said so.There were no tears in her eyes, and she seemed incapable of even expressing her feelings.

"We don't mean to hurt her. On the contrary, only we can save her. Before I say the magic name, can you give her to me?"

"..."

Kamijou seemed to see Index's face floating in front of his eyes.Kamijou clenched his molars and closed his eyes.

"Also, once her memory is erased, she won't remember about you, just like the way she looks at us now.

Once she wakes up again, no matter how much you love her, she will only regard you as an enemy who wants to snatch one hundred and three thousand magic books. "

"..."

These words made Kamijou feel slightly wrong.

"Even if you help her no matter how much, what good will it do you?"

"...What the hell are you talking about?"

The feeling of something wrong erupted in one breath, just like igniting a fire in gasoline.

"What the hell are you talking about! Does it matter if she remembers? Listen! Since you don't get it, I'll tell you straight up! I'm Index's friend, and I used to be on her side, Will stand by her in the future! You can put this in your bible, because this thing will never change!"

"..."

"I heard you say those nonsense just now, and the more I think about it, the more wrong I am. If she just 'forgot', just explain it to her and solve her misunderstanding? Why do you want her to keep carrying the misunderstanding? Why would you rather Be her enemy? Why do you make such a decision? Have you ever thought about her feelings..."

"──It's so annoying! You are out of the situation!"

Kamijou's anger was overwhelmed by Kanzaki's roar from directly above.No longer caring about the propriety of words, the completely naked emotion almost crushed Kamijou's heart.

"Don't act like you know everything! Do you know what kind of mood we used to take away her memory from before to now? You don't understand anything! You call Stiles a murderer, but you know he What kind of mood do you feel when you are with that child? Do you know how painful he is? Do you know how much determination is needed to make him the enemy of the child? To be regarded as the enemy by the most important friend, Can you feel that feeling?"

Kamijou was startled by Kanzaki's change of attitude.But before Kamijou could make a startled sound, Kanzaki kicked Kamijou in the side, making him fly like a football.

With a merciless blow from his hand, Kamijou's body floated in the air, then fell to the ground, and rolled another two or three meters.

A bloody smell rushed from the depths of the stomach to the mouth.However, there was no time for Kamijou to roll on the ground in pain.
