[*Whatever By The Books*]

Touma meets another magician, this time a bishoujo rather than a bishounen! She wields blades of air, it seems (or wires?), and kicks Touma’s ass. (This part was really boring. -_- Though honestly, ‘Shichiten Shichitou’ is such a mouthful, even if it -can- kill someone seven times over.

Instead of surrending to defeat, he goes emotional on the girl and manages to make her guilty, and she admits she is from the same Church order (Necessarius) as Index, and seeks only to secure and make Index safe. Her story is that Index has her memory erased every year, just like a computer; because the grimoires take up so much space (85% of her brain), she doesn’t have enough hard disk space to function properly, unless they constantly delete stuff. Touma rages for a while more, then he faints. Strangely enough.

There’s a passing nod to Railgun, who spots Index in a crowd before the latter goes back to Touma’s house, where he’s been brought (by loli teacher? I’m so out of touch with this series, sigh). Three days later, the Church (?) guys come knocking at their door…what would Index do?
