"Hmm I didn't see anyone at all, you know," Kaori said while looking at the garden Index was pointing at. "And I also don't feel the presence of anyone suspicious. Maybe you were just hallucinating because your stomach felt hungry Index. Sigh Index, Chitose-san has been painstakingly repairing the abnormal functioning of your digestive tract, by using acupuncture so you can eat like a normal person. But because of your greed for food you sometimes can't hold back and eat with your previous portion when your digestive tract is still damaged and as a result you often suffer from stomach aches and hallucinations because you're starving. It seems I have to ask Chitose-san to do more therapy for you, so you can get rid of your greedy nature."
Index's face turned pale when she heard Kaori's threat. For more than a month she lived in Yuragi Sou, God knows how many times she was 'treated' by Chitose. And for Index, Chitose's 'therapy' was not fun at all and more like torture for Index.
"N-no need to ask Ch-Chitose-sama to do therapy for me, because now I'm sure that earlier I was just hallucinating because I was daydreaming," Index said while swallowing her saliva. "So let's catch up with Chitose-Sama now, because otherwise Chitose-Sama will be angry with us both."
Index ran to follow Chitose who was already a bit far from her and Kaori, while Kaori walked slowly behind Index while smiling. Because her threat against Index worked so well.
Kaori loved Index, who was someone she had to take good care of. However, sometimes she gets annoyed and dizzy because of the greed and indulgence shown by Index.
That's why Kaori was grateful when Index was made as one of the employees of Yuragi Sou, Index's character slowly started to change for the better.

In a windowless building in Academy City.
The residence of Aleister Crowley, which can only be entered by using the teleport ability, or using a secret elevator that can only be used by certain people who are authorized by Aleister to be able to enter his residence.
Inside the top of the windowless building was a cylinder, 4m in diameter and 10m long. And the cylinder is made of toughened glass, and there's a red liquid inside that's also connected with tons of wires.
The room was also very dark and was only lit by the dim light of the machines and screens that were in the room.
Within this cylinder filled with red liquid, there was a person in a green surgical gown floating upside down.
And that person's name was Aleister Crowley one of the founders of Academy City, who looked like a man, a woman, and a child. Aleister Crowley was currently looking at one of the screens in the room, and on the screen was a sign indicating that someone had entered Academy City without permission.
[There's an intruder breaking into my city, from the magician's side, I hope Tsuchimikado already knows the identity of that intruder.]
"Yoo boss, I came to report something."
Tsuchimikado Motoharu appeared from inside the special elevator that went to the top of the windowless building. Right after Aleister finished talking about Motoharu, and in Motoharu's right hand he was holding a document folder that he seemed to be showing to Aleister.
"There's someone from the magic side who broke into Academy City, without permission. Although I'm sure you already know about it right? The security in this Academy City was too lax, because there were so many magicians who could freely enter this city. Boss why don't you increase the security in this city, anyway?"
***
[You don't have to worry about the security in this Academy City, Tsuchimikado, because I deliberately relaxed the security of this Academy City so that magicians could enter my city, because that was part of my plan. To test Kamijou Touma's abilities.]
Motoharu, never liked Aleister who would do anything to make his plan a success. Even if the plan is immoral. He might call Aleister his boss, but technically Motoharu isn't Aleister's minion as he is a spy who works for many sides for his own benefit.
He can even betray his own comrades so that the work he can do can be carried out smoothly, if in this world there are parties he doesn't want to fight or betray, maybe that group is Hiko Seijuro XIII's group.
"Well, fine if that's what you want boss," Motoharu said as he slammed the report folder in his right hand against the glass cylinder.
The report folder got messy after Motoharu threw it at Aleister and at one of the photos attached to the report; it was a photo of a beautiful woman taken secretly, when she entered Academy City without permission.
The woman looks like she is 25 years old, blonde hair and brown skin, her hair is tousled like a lion's mane, the clothes she is wearing are jet black in a gothic style.
"Sherry Cromwell, a magician from 'Neccessarius' who is said to have power surpassing Aureolus, she is not someone to be dealt with easily."
[What do you think the purpose of this coming from Sherry Cromwell to Academy City is, Tsuchimikado?] Aleister asked. [Did he come for the Index Librorum or for Imagine Breaker?]
"I don't think he came for Index or Kami-yan, boss. I believe she came to this town to start a war between Academy City and Neccesarius."
***
In Yuragi Sou at the same time as Sherry Cromwell's entry into Academy City. Hiko Seijuro can sense the wizard from Neccesarius entering Academy Town, and he seems irritated by any new problems that will arise before him or Touma's.
"Tcch it's only been three days since returning to this City, a new problem has appeared again," Hiko said who was looking towards Academy City from the balcony of his room in Yuragi Sou. "There was a foreign magician who entered this town and from the magic energy I sensed from that magician, it seems that the magician is a bit stronger than the normal magician. well, me or Touma could handle it easily if the enemy is only at this level, but first I have to investigate what he intends to do in this Academy City."
Hiko plucked one of his long hairs and in an instant the hair changed into a small insect. And the bugs started flying towards the entrance of Academy City.
"An insect-shaped shikigami that I made from my own hair, is more than enough to keep an eye on that witch," Hiko said while forming a seal with his right hand to activate the surveillance function of the Shikigami.
"Now it's just a matter of waiting for Tsuchimikado to come home, because I'm sure he already has information about that magician by now, because that boy is the best informant in this Academy City."
Hiko folded his arms across his chest and looked up at the sky, sighing. As he was currently in Academy City he decided to take the matter that was about to come to his grandson, with his own two hands so he could give Touma a chance to rest.
