world split between a science side and a magic side, the fight oer Index, a nun who has memori!ed 10"

oires, begins for a normal high school bo# named $ami%ou &ouma'

en Kami@ou Touma thought =ack3 he reali!ed that day had =een a+9ul 9rom the very =eginning;

some strange reason3 the high school =oy named Kami@ou Touma lived in a oneAroom student dorm +itherAhaired3 greenAeyed nun; He normally slept in the locked =athroom; "9ter +iping all moisture 9rom the =a+ould gra= a =lanket and sleep inside it3 =ut on this day3 he +as visited =y mis9ortune 9rom the moment hee;

et right to the point3 it +ent something like this;

hhhhhhhhh45 WhA+hy is the toilet acting like a park 9ountain456

oon as he opened his eyes3 he +as reminded in the +orst possi=le +ay that apan +as a country o9 plen

er;


15/162

pulled out the tool =o$ he rarely used3 =ut he had no idea +here to even =egin; He decided to start =y remid o9 the =o$y tank and peering inside;

at even caused this5 #t +as +orking @ust 9ine yesterday;6

had no clue +hat to do or even +hat it +as normally supposed to look like;

+as so con9used that he gave up and thre+ =ack his head to look up+ards;

n at a time like this3 the =lue sky +as per9ectly clear and re9reshing;

56

elt a=out ready to destroy the +orld3 =ut he reali!ed something +as not 0uite right;

blue s(#)

ro!e in place and hesitantly checked on his surroundings;

ound he +as no longer in his dorm =athroom; "=ove3 he sa+ the vast =lue sky; 7elo+3 he sa+ a polishedr like that o9 a gym; The concept o9 +alls did not apply here; He could see to the hori!on 9or the 9ull %G& dead o9 him; When he turned around3 he 9inally sa+ +hat looked like neatly shaped mountains; He +as not

ther to call them triangles3 rice =alls3 or pyramids; They +ere the only visi=le o=@ects in this 2+orld63 =ut ev+ere t+o or three kilometers a+ay;

scenery +as so simplistic that he +as 9illed +ith an over+helming sense o9 scale that le9t normal reality =entle =ree!e carried only the scent o9 the ocean; That scent alone allo+ed Kami@ou to keep his mind 9roming a+ay;

ere +as he5

+ had he ended up here5

en had he +andered into this strange +orld5hre+ aside all those legitimate 0uestions and let out a shout;

aaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiitttttttttt444555 # cant @ust leave the toilet like that44 Take me =ack44 #9 it 9loods the 9loor =elo+3 teally mad44 #9 it causes enough o9 a scene3 it might even end up on the ne+s sites446

needed to hurry;

ry second mattered;

did not kno+ +hat kind o9 secrets this place held3 =ut he had to hurry =ack to his dorm; He had to do +hat

to ensure that;

ere are a 9e+ di99erent pro=lems; -or e$ample3 the area # have to search is e$tremely large and yet there aost no landmarks; # can search around i9 # +ant3 =ut it +ont =e easy getting =ack here or 9iguring out +heappeared;.

s+itched to a ne+ train o9 thought; He +orked through each issue3 one at a time;

did not kno+ ho+3 =ut it +as possi=le his starting point had some special meaning compared to any otherrdinate; To make sure he could return at any time3 he needed to make a mark on the groundIor +as it thr5

unately3 the ground +as polished +ood3 @ust like in a gym;


16/162

rt his thum=nail a little3 =ut he +as a=le to scratch an J into it +ithout much di99iculty;

had only seen a 9e+ per9ectly triangular mountains +hen looking around earlier3 =ut he could not help =utnd again and again; #t may have =een a lot like someone searching 9or an oasis in the desert;

he +as careless;

had appeared here 2suddenly63 so he should have considered the possi=ility o9 someone else appearing hdenly6;

3 he spotted #nde$ changing 0uite close =y;

second3 he sa+ Misaka Mikoto +atching the t+o o9 them 9rom a short distance a+ay;

you kidding me56

air gre+ heavy at an accelerated rate +hile Kami@ou muttered to himsel9;

hen gave a yell;

you kidding me45 )eally3 are you kidding me45 -rom a pro=a=ility perspective3 this is @ust cruel4 #snt thisplaying )ussian roulette ten times in a ro+ and =lo+ing your =rains out on the 9irst shot each time45 # dons is a sudden overseas location shoot 9or a young comedian or i9 #ve =een summoned to another +orld3 t go through the proper steps 9or that kind o9 thing446

mi@ou pleaded his case against this unreasona=le +orld3 =ut it 9ell on t+o pairs o9 dea9 ears;

girls spoke +ith horri=ly3 horri=ly cold eyes;

ma3 there are only t+o options 9or you no+1 a really3 really long lecture or a chomp that puts you =eyondvery in one go;6

ere really are those true idiots +ho have the ridiculous a=ility to stop time or change the +orld3 =ut only evk to use it to 9lip up girls skirts;6

mi@ou stared =lankly into the distance;

then he reali!ed he really +ould die i9 he tried to escape reality here;

ont think you should do this4 That really +ould =e overkill44 Wait4 " single =oke deserves a single tsukkom
