It was not known whether it was because she had lost consciousness or because Freya in her belly had completely lost the ability to control the mother's body, but the woman in maternity clothes with her eyes closed did not look awake.
According to Index, her breathing and heartbeat were normal. However, since someone else had controlled her body for two years, her sense of self was quite thin. Just like the feeling of paralyzed limbs needs to be slowly restored, it seemed that it would take some time for her to truly regain control of her body and accept everything naturally.
It was quite hard to get her body down from the roof.
Fortunately, the intervention spell that Index used to return control of the maternity woman's body to the mother seemed to be no longer needed after the "switch" was completed. In other words, even if Kamijou's right hand touched them, it would not have any adverse effects on the mother and daughter.
Index on top and Kamijou Touma on the bottom worked together and finally managed to move the sleeping woman in maternity clothes to the platform.
Index seemed to be about to jump down as well, so Kamijou quickly pointed to the ladder on the side of the train.
"Touma, there's the sound of a train running."
"It seems that other routes are also in operation. Perhaps Tokyo Station can be used as a relay base for supplies."
"The billboard is full of colorful lines, and people can't understand it at all!"
"…Japanese office workers who can interpret this are really amazing…"
They walked down the stairs to the other subway platform, then passed through the ticket gate and successfully transferred. The subway car, which was almost a freight car, was full of wooden boxes, so it was not difficult to find a hiding place. In addition, perhaps due to the structure of the train, all the doors were open when loading, so it was relatively easy to sneak into the interior.
"If it's safe here, it might be better to hand Freya over to the station staff. But..."
"Why not do this?"
"If it's an important supply base, the possibility of the Troublemakers attacking here will increase. Moreover, it would not be good to let the people working here know that Freya, who is defenseless, is a member of the Troublemakers."
They swayed along with the train, and this time they finally reached the port area facing Tokyo Bay.
I thought it would stop at the station, but the train just passed through the tunnel and came to the surface, arriving at a place that looked like a shunting yard near the port.
"Shimbashi... no, is it Shiodome?"
Kamijou usually lives in the high-walled Academy City, so he is unfamiliar with the information about the 23rd District even though he lives in the city... However, even so, Kamijou is still puzzled by this. Is there a shunting yard in such a place?
Maybe this is an undisclosed device of the Fire and Disaster Management Agency or the Ministry of Defense. If this is the case, even if you search the Internet, which can be investigated by laymen, you probably won't find anything.
All the doors opened together again.
"Get out of the car… Do me a favor. Index, I'll get out first. I'll leave Freya in your care."
at this time.
An inflatable boat with an engine sailed along the river that flows near the marshaling yard towards the estuary.
Kamijou had seen the girls riding the rubber boats.
The enemy seemed to have spotted Kamijou as well, so they slowed down the military landing boat and turned around, heading to the marshaling yard.
"...You hooked up with a weird woman again without my knowledge? And this time she's a pregnant woman...?"
The person who came was Bai Dewei.
She operated the engine that was integrated into the rudder, while Reisa and Kumokawa Maria were also in the rubber boat.
It would be bad if a pregnant woman fell, so they couldn't leave Freya (or more accurately, her mother) to Index, who might squash her if she hugged her. However, Kamijou hugged the sleeping woman in maternity clothes in a princess hug, and the scene seemed to be in a state of chaos with a happy tone.
"If you knew what happened while you were taking a leisurely boat ride, you would be surprised."
But before he could give any specific instructions or explanations, new developments occurred.
With the sound of sparks flying, Misaka Mikoto flew from the air and landed on the metal handrail on the river bank with the help of magnetism.
"Oh my goodness! We declared that we would fight side by side, but we were thrown down after the opening scattershot! By the way, how come you managed to subdue the pregnant enemy that we were fighting against without realizing it...?"
"Please let me handle them one by one! Because my current situation is no different from when I was playing the Cube Battle game and was hit by a terrible chain attack!"
Bang!
A large amount of fire powder floated along the landing route of the military rubber boat and Misaka Mikoto, and the total number of flaming figures that appeared one after another exceeded hundreds. There was no time to talk now.
Bai Dewei raised her short staff and Misaka Mikoto flicked the coin with her thumb.
There was a loud explosion, and the army's automatic combat power was blown to ashes before the team collapsed.
....
At this point, the team regrouped.
As if it had never been separated.
Landed smoothly in the Tokyo city area.
Chapter 185. Accelerator and the Fire of the Right
Finally, the whole team was together again.
As the feast in Tokyo begins.
Everyone has returned to their seats.
Amidst this sea of fire, we stepped into the city called Tokyo.
This is the city that Gremlin most directly attacked.
presumably--
It is also the main battlefield of this event.
But the rally did not last long.
Wait until a familiar face that had appeared not long ago comes into the screen.
Kumokawa Maria once again left the battle line.
He jumped out of the kayak carrying the unconscious Freya.
The girl in the honey-patterned dress looked somewhere with a complicated expression.
What did she see?
The people in front of the screen were confused at first.
Immediately following.
As the scene moves with her gaze to the shore.
When everyone noticed Kihara Kagun, who was walking like a zombie, as if he were a puppet, by the coastline.
This is a soulless puppet that is merely being manipulated.
Thus, Kumokawa Maria - was disconnected.
The kayak operated by Bai Dewei once again broke through the foggy Tokyo Bay.
March towards the area where Gremlin is stationed.
Part of the audience's hearts were on Kumokawa Maria who had just left.
The girl and her teacher.
The plot in which Patel deceived Touma not long ago was the main character of the chapter;
At that time, the audience was still unclear why the plot editing of these two people was summarized across an entire chapter.
Until this moment, everyone suddenly realized.
Because this man named Kihara Kagun is a bit too important to the plot of Gremlin's attack on Academy City.
The first step was to set up a secret door to sneak into the Academy City on a surprise attack, the second was to conduct a connection to the shipwreck in Tokyo Bay, and finally to re-enter the scene in the chaos.
After many twists and turns, at the hands of the demon god Othinus, he once again transformed into a machine that was willing to sacrifice itself to achieve its goals.
The only difference is that it is completely different from the decisive battle with Kihara Pathologist.
The girl, Kumokawa Maria, who had once been taken care of by him, stood by silently, watching the teacher who had saved her complete his final journey.
As for the other side——
Touma and his group sneaked into the gray area covered by haze.
This sea area is one of the areas controlled by Gremlin.
Other passengers include Kamijou Touma, Index, Misaka Mikoto, Reisa, and a calico cat.
The gray curtain that seemed to make one lose their sense of direction evenly filled the surroundings. This strange and fantastical scene almost made people forget that this place was also part of Tokyo's scenery.
"There's no way they didn't notice."
Bai Dewei said quickly.
At this moment, a large amount of fire powder was still flying around, as if it was going to swallow up the rubber boat that exceeded the speed limit. But Bai Dewei didn't wait, she made the military rubber boat go at full speed and break through before the fire powder turned into flame figures. As a result, the flame figures lost their target the moment they were born and sank into the sea without doing anything.
If you think about it carefully, the one who attacked the supersonic passenger plane at the beginning was also the "underground dragon", and there was no flaming figure in the plane. Maybe from the beginning, they were divided into different groups to annihilate different targets.
The military rubber boat dragged its eerie orange tail towards the "sea cemetery".
"The 'Troublemakers' should have noticed our approach a long time ago. Are they too busy making the 'Lance' to spare any manpower? Or is it..."
At this moment, a low sound like an earthquake was heard.
Amidst the gray fog, a huge mountain-like figure suddenly appeared. Although it was still several kilometers away, the overwhelming size of the figure made Kamijou and his companions extremely nervous. It was even more exaggerated than the evil dragon they had faced before.
The huge figure was at least 500 meters above sea level. The fact that such a huge object was standing on two feet shook Kamijou's common sense.
"What is that...?"
Kamijou couldn't help but grumble.
"That's also a 'troublemaker'...? Just how outrageous is their hidden combat power!"
"Those guys were able to fly mobile fortresses tens of kilometers in size, so there's nothing to be surprised about now that there are enemies on a kilometer scale."
...If they really wanted to destroy Tokyo, they could do it at any time.
It's just that they happened to choose the policy of "dispersing interests", so the city can barely maintain its appearance.
"Don't be intimidated."
Bai Dewei said firmly.
"If we don't deal with them, we can't move forward. We can just focus on attacking one leg and take away their ability to move. Don't forget, this is just a sideshow. The main event is to stop the production of the 'Lance'."
Just before Kamijou responded.
boom------!
The huge figure was suddenly split into several pieces and then sank into the sea.
"What's going on?"
"Just shut up and hold on before you ask! Unless you want to bite your tongue or fall out!"
After a delay of several tens of seconds, the huge waves rushed towards the rubber boat mercilessly. Bai Dewei tried to make the boat face the huge waves vertically as much as possible, trying to survive this. There were several ups and downs of several meters. Since the rubber boat was light, it was not easy to keep it stable. It would not be surprising if it capsized.
"That's the point of the 'Sea Cemetery' defense, right? It doesn't look like it's a problem of its own. Who did it?"
"I don't know even if you ask me!"
"…If it's not us, then there is only one possibility left, right?"
Hearing what Lessa said, Bertholdt, who was trying hard to steer the boat, frowned.
"Could it be that the person who did this is in the 'cemetery at sea'?"
Along with this conversation.
Screen——
Twisting in vain!
The scene just before was of Touma and his group.
But wait for this critical moment.
The character reappears on the screen.
It was Orelus who had not appeared in the main scene for a long time.
Orelles.
....
There was no excitement for a moment about the chaos started by the Gremlins. The first to enter the battlefield was the man who was praised as having almost touched the Demon Throne - Orelus.
The scene flashed, and he first stood beside Othinus in the disguise of Thor, the god of thunder.Kamijou and the monsters ran at full speed.
The conflict lasted only a moment.
Although this is an important factor in determining the trend of events, it is just a trivial matter that has nothing to do with the topic.
The Sisters in White chanted correctly.
The young son, who wanted to protect his mother, roared like a wild beast.
Kamijou swung his right fist, smashing the muscle monster made of dark red threads wrapped around the gemstone, and smiled naturally at the same time.
"It's over, Freya."
The words couldn't help but come out of my mouth.
This was just a long rehearsal. Her real performance was still to come.
"So hurry up and get over it, and come to the next era. We'll be waiting for you a little bit ahead in this vast world!"
The tattered train passed through the dark tunnel.
Out into the bright, strong sunlight.
"... Ugh...?"
Monsters with enough arm strength to crush humans with a single blow, or "troublemaker" magicians with enough terrifying power and technology to completely blockade an entire country's capital, are no longer here.
"Uh, excuse me... where is this place...?"
Although the pregnant woman's appearance was the same as before, this weak question gave people a completely different feeling.
The mother's body, which cannot sustain life without the fetus controlling its body, no longer exists.
There was only a common mother and daughter sitting on the ground.
....
All doubts and corrections were completely resolved by the young man.
This is all thanks to Index.
Likewise...it's all thanks to Kamijou Touma.
The silver-haired nun who has always been the image of a civil war phantom...
Her identity has completely transformed!
Chapter 184. Assembly
The words fell.
The painting curtain falls.
This scene is truly amazing.
What a thrilling performance the previous moment.
The ending is also so magnificent.
Not only full of meaning.
same.
Brilliant and magnificent.
Face the sun and keep your heart on the right path.
Even though there was a slight gray shadow in the process.
But in the end, the redeemed will finally get on the right path.
In the live editing room.
There was a pause;
Tightly connected;
There was an endless stream of thunderous applause.
The crackling sound of gongs and drums was endless.
All the heavens and worlds.
Audiences from all sides were moved.
After seeing the scenes in the video, everyone kept praising it.
Think carefully about the stories that happened so far.
The fight so far.
A young man who always thinks about saving everyone.
For the first time, he made a request to his companions.
He asked his friends without hesitation if they could help.
--and.
He defeated these powerful monsters perfectly.
Even if you can summon thousands of troops.
--but.
When the silver-haired nun named A Certain Magical Index joins the list.
When her experience that can break all laws and her rich knowledge flowing like a river are mixed into this battle.
Everything has come to a halt.
I will discuss the local reviews of Toaru Majutsu no Index later.
It is worth noting that many of the various organizations in the universe who had not previously paid attention to the editing screen;
After watching all these video scenes, I was finally moved by this genuine, passionate and kingly young man and took the initiative to participate in this event!
"The train travels through the tunnel from darkness to light. When Touma and Index's joint attack completely crushes Freya's final obsession, the light that appears at the end of the train is so poetic. It fits the theme of our contest very well. It's true that heroes emerge from young people. I can't help but give him full marks." In the world of Pokémon, Mr. Konkenstein, director of the Contest Supervisory Bureau, gave up watching Mikoli's performance, and expressed with emotion the spirit and beauty behind each scene, and pressed the light in front of him.
10 points!
"Oh, I really like this very very very very very very much!!!" Mr. Sukisawa from the Pokémon Fans Association is a middle-aged man with squinting eyes and a very Buddhist look. He is also holding up a sign at this moment.
Another 10 points!
"Friendship between people is a very pure thing, and this spirit of perseverance and the righteousness of constantly moving forward to save others, even if the enemy has weaknesses, but still thinking about how to redeem them, is really touching." Miss Joy from the Pokémon Center wiped her tears and couldn't help but take out the sign.
Another 10 points!
And other places in the heavens and myriad worlds.
About what just happened.
The scene in which Kamijou Touma gives Freya advice in a gentle and caring tone while the train drives towards the light.
In the same way, it set off waves of carnival and tears.
"Hero? Hehe, he's really an interesting guy. Although he's also called a hero, he's totally different from the guys in our world who are completely obsessed with money and don't even have the most basic personality and self-esteem."
Watching this scene in the video, in the world of One Punch Man, Garou, who calls himself a weirdo, couldn't help but feel happy about the boy's behavior. The corners of his mouth, which usually had a teasing smile on their faces, showed a gentle and warm smile for the first time.
Similarly, at this moment in the world of Ultraman.
Feng Yuan stared speechlessly at the group behind him who was still driving the Garp car to chase him. He really wanted to turn into Leo on the spot and kick the lame man away: "Team leader! Are you awake? Look at what the protagonist is doing, and then look at what you, the protagonist, are doing! I can't accept it!"
"Great, no need to say more. This was a battle of tactics, not simply using Index or relying on one's own fighting skills to come up with a response strategy. The boy's idea was very clear - using Index's magic knowledge was one part of the strategy, but the most fundamental reason for winning... was the boy's desire to save everything, and his determination to actually put it into practice."
As Aizen Sosuke watched the scenes in the video, an unprecedented smile of appreciation appeared on the corner of his mouth. It could be seen that this young man named Kamijou Touma had indeed brought him a lot of fun.
As for the local area of Magical Index.
It is even more lively at this moment.
"Akami! The savior of Academy City!"
"I'm pushing Kamijou Touma-san to be the boss of Academy City!"
"It's him, it's him, it's him! Our hero, Touma-chan!!"
One article, one example.
Along with Touma's flushed face.
And the joy that Index felt as she watched herself and Touma move together on the screen with stars in her eyes.
At the Kamijo residence.
Kamijou Touma's most loyal friend.
The most slick boy in the world.
The blond boy wearing a plaid shirt, Tsuchimikado Motoharu, held his mobile phone and read the latest comments on the online forum word by word with a tone full of praise. Finally, he sighed from the bottom of his heart: "He is too strong, he is too steady."
"Wow~ A-Kami, it looks like you are really admired by everyone in Academy City! Haha... When I introduce myself and show others my character who often appears in video clips, I might be able to start filming movies and become a star without having to be a magician anymore. I can still make my sister a well-fed and well-off person for the rest of her life, right?"
"I said you guys are really..."
Kamisaki Kaori watched this show somewhat helplessly. She really couldn't understand Tsuchimikado's behavior of being so smooth and slick. It was somewhat troublesome for her, but unfortunately he always enjoyed doing so.
The train with Kamijou, Index, and Freya on top continued to move forward. During this period, leaving aside Freya who had fallen asleep again, Kamijou and Index also tried to lower their bodies as much as possible. Firstly, they didn't want to be thrown off the train, and secondly, the ceiling was frighteningly low from time to time, and they really didn't want to stand up easily.
Unable to bear watching everyone's behavior, she couldn't help but turn her eyes to the live broadcast editing screen again.
now--
The subway train stopped at Tokyo Station.
"Damn it, there's no direct line to Tokyo Bay? It's going to be very troublesome to transfer in this situation."
Shinbashi or Shiodome should be closer to Tokyo Bay. Although the distance is not far, walking in such a crowd is another matter. I have to think of other means of transportation.
(…?)
For some reason, there was no one in the vast station. Perhaps all the regular entrances and exits were blocked early, and the people still inside the station were guided out through the employee entrances and exits or evacuation routes. The actual reason was of course "takeover", and the excuse on the surface was just "If a fire broke out in a crowded station, many people would die in the thick smoke, and we can't bear this responsibility."
Even though it is the same railway-related facility, the response is completely different from that of Shinjuku.
From this, it can be seen that the station staff were also panicked.
(What is that...? The platform is full of wooden boxes.)
There was no point staying on the roof anyway. If the train moved again and took them somewhere else, there would be no way to get off.
"Next..."
More than half of the train cars were damaged and derailed, which made him feel uneasy, but after Kamijou jumped off the roof and checked inside the train, he found that there seemed to be no ordinary passengers on the train. There was only a man in the driver's seat, and the passenger car behind was filled with wooden boxes that required both hands to lift.
There is no need to confirm what is inside the wooden box.
The man in the driver's seat did not seem to be an ordinary driver employed by the railway company. The reason for this judgment was simple: he was wearing camouflage clothes.
(…Maybe the mobile team or the Self-Defense Forces used it temporarily to transport supplies…Isn't there something like gunpowder in the wooden box?)
At the end of the battle just now, the dragon broke through the roof of the coach and flew out, and the rear carriage derailed, which made people very worried, but it seemed that there were no casualties. This may also be Freya's thoughtfulness.
The young son who continues to fight against the unreasonable world in order to protect his mother may try his best to avoid getting his mother's hands dirty.
How difficult is it to be recognized as an effective fighting force in the cruel organization "Troublemakers" and meet such conditions?
"All in all, driving seems to be fine..."
Kamijou knocked on the driver's door and called out, but there was no response. Judging from the previous situation, he probably acted to stop the "troublemaker" from attacking, but after seeing the true destructive power, he fell into a state of mental shock.
Index asked him from the rooftop:
"Touma, what should we do?"
"I should be the priority target of the 'troublemakers'. It has nothing to do with my strength, but because I have a right hand that can stop them from making 'spears'. For safety reasons, it might be better for them to stay away from us."
But on the other hand, we can't just leave the unconscious goddess of abundance Freya alone. She is a "troublemaker" and has the potential to regain her powerful fighting power.
Whether it is the "troublemaker" who wants to take back that power, or the defender who wants to stop the "troublemaker" from attacking, they will probably want to protect her based on their own calculations.
"Oh? So Touma still prioritizes women, huh?"
"...I clearly didn't do anything bad, why do you have to look at me like a piece of shit..."
