Orsola Aquinas.
A nun who was formerly a member of the Roman Catholic Church, but had converted to the Anglican Church. The reason was because she decoded The Book of the Law. Since that was settled, she should be in London.
Like the last time he met the nun, she was covered with a nun's habit; her entire body was covered except for her face. She had white gloves on her hands, and her hair was covered by a nun's headpiece. In contrast to the lack of exposed skin, the voluptuous body of this nun caused the simple nun's habit to emphasize the curves of her body.
She said,
"I should be the one asking you. Why are you here? Shouldn't you be in Academy City?"
"I came here for a tour. You?"
"I was here since a few days ago."
"Wait, Orsola, you should be in London, right? You were giving advice in the English Library during Daihaseisai."
"Yes. The conversion from the Roman Catholic Church to the Anglican Church was rushed; my luggage was still left here. Also, I have to come back to send my valuables over to London."
"This is your hometown?"
Facing Kamijou's question, Orsola simply replied, 'Nn'. Though this was a colorless exchange, to be able to converse so freely, Kamijou was honestly about to cry. Anyway, even if it's a coincidence, you've helped me a lot! Kamijou thought.
"Oh, come to think about it, you're still wearing this robe after converting to the Anglican Church? Wouldn't the guys at Necessarius be angry?"
"Ha, but the people from the Amakusa said that they will help me move my stuff, and so they came along."
"Wa!? Not again, you're back to the previous topic!? But those Amakusa, don't they belong to that Tatemiya? How is he?"
"There's no problem with the clothing. The Anglicans are very enthusiastic and accepting to all sorts of magic spells and cultures. Right now, I'm a Roman Catholic of the Anglicans. The remaining Amakusas are also the same."
"Now it's the nun's habit!! Not only did you ignore it, you even touched on the Amakusa! It's hard to understand!"
This form of talking wasn't very suitable. Besides, she was speaking how her brain processed her thoughts. However, it was hard for the person listening to understand.
On the other hand, she didn't notice it at all, even tilting her head in a cutesy manner.
"Come to think of it, are you here to buy something?"
"Nope…I'm here with Index. However, she's drowning in the dream of Italian salad, and has disappeared! What do I do now, Orsola? How about I tie a rope to a cake to incite her to come back!? The success rate is half-open!"
"Ma ma. Calm down. It's rare for you to come out and tour about with Index, no? Especially since you're not working on Academy City's orders."
"We're back to this again!! ...No? There's no job. Besides, being on the other side of the world, it's too far."
"Anyway, there's still some time left, right? To meet each other here, what a coincidence. Actually, there aren't enough people to carry the luggage, so since you're free, please help out till dinner time."
"NO!! To give up this holiday that I meant to use as a breather!? Anyway, we're going someplace to sightsee, at least it's not as troublesome as having to cook my own meals."
Though it was an ordinary reply, Orsola still looked surprised as she examined Kamijou. She noticed the chain of the wallet and the luggage bag in his hand.
"Oh my, may I ask, is that attire appropriate?"
"I DON'T WANT TO BE LECTURED BY YOU IN TERMS OF ATTIRE!!!"
The heat from the end of summer hadn't subsided, and Kamijou was roaring at this nun for wearing a completely black nun's habit in the season when it was more appropriate to wear short-sleeved or maybe shorter than long-sleeved clothes.
But Orsola looked uninterested, saying,
"Compared to Japan, there are many more nuns here."
"Eh, Orsola's replying normally?"
"Compared to that."
No matter how surprised Kamijou was, Orsola pointed at the items that Kamijou had, and said,
"Dragging a brand new luggage bag around, holding a tour guidebook and a handphone with camera functions…ha, soon there will be conmen saying 'welcome, do you want a wallet or a passport?' or something like that."
"Uuuu!?"
Kamijou frantically hid the cell phone and notebook.
"But, but for Orsola to say this, I'm somewhat surprised."
Orsola just blankly sighed.
"This is just a small city, so there won't be anything major happening. To all the tourists around the world, the Italian city environment is very tough. Even on the tourist streets, the restaurants extort the tourists. The menus are 10 times the normal prices. No matter whether they're on the roadside or if they're billboards in Japanese, this level of information isn't so different, you'll be making a huge loss…get it?"
"Wa! That's a wake-up call!! What do I do?"
"So, the conclusion is that you should have your meal with me so you won't be slaughtered badly by those kinds of shops. I'll tell you what to take note of. Come on, there's no point in standing around here. You need a place to meet up with Miss Index, right? Even though I say this, Chioggia's central is 1.3km by 400m long; there's no problem even if you don't think of a plan."
To say such words unambiguously, Kamijou was touched. Of course, one should ask an Italian about stuff in Italy. Being educated on the basics of the basics, Kamijou suddenly thought of this.
"But in the end, I still want to sightsee…"
"No, that ice-cream shop was able to make Miss Index very happy."
............…Huh?
"Wait wait, Orsola, what are we talking about now?"
"Right, about sightseeing, it's good to tour through Chioggia's settlements. It's nice to spend money to see those sights, but the natural living environment of the residents isn't something one can see by going with a tour guide."
"Wait wait, rewind! Rewind! Although those suggestions are rather logical, I have to find Index first…!"
"That's enough. I know it without having to confirm it. This lucky man."
"WA!? ARE WE GOING FORWARD OR BACKWARDS?"
Kamijou shouted, but Orsola smiled vaguely.
"If it's Miss Index, I just saw her at the window of the ice-cream shop."
"I WOULD HAVE LIKED IT IF YOU HAD SAID THAT RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING!...If so, where's Index?"
"Thus, the way to read the bus stop sign is—"
"Basically, where is Index!!?"
"Oh yes, oh yes, I let my friend bring her back to my house."
"THAT IDIOT LEFT ME BEHIND!!??"
"I just saw her say 'let's go for lunch' as she followed along happily."
"DDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMNNNNNNNNNNN IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!"
'Leave Italy to me,' which nun said that? Kamijou was grumbling inside, his body all frozen up.
"Ugh, uu…Orsola, what should I do? Though I have been bitten by her—IT'LL BE MY TURN. JUST YOU WAIT, INDEX!!!"
Seeing the cross-popping veins on the hand that was holding the luggage bag handle, Orsola just blankly smiled.
"Be careful not to get counter-killed when you take revenge."
"UUU!!?"
Just like that, Kamijou was defeated.
Orsola smiled happily.
"Anyway, the fastest way to meet up with Miss Index is to come to my house. Enough talk, the conclusion is to come over to my house."
Come to think of it, going to Orsola's place was the fastest method. It was much better than rejecting her and being alone.
"…Looks like I got into something unfortunate again."
"Don't mind it, don't mind it. There would be plenty of accidents when you're going overseas."
Orsola said these words that seemed to be life lessons or something. Kamijou nodded his head.
Thinking about it in another way, the reason why travelling was so fun was because there were all sorts of things happening.
Speaking of travelling, as Kamijou had lost his memory, he had no memory of leaving Academy City on vacation.
