August 31, 11:20 PM.
Kamijou pushed open the back door of the tower, rushed in and dashed up the stairs.
"...That's not right."
Running up the stairs, Kamijou heard Index's voice from the cell phone.
"I understand. That azusayumi--because the power was increased too much, your thoughts entered my mind, so I understand."
The girl sounded really anguished, and it seemed that she would start to cry at anytime.
The girl seemed to be gradually understanding the heart that was getting destroyed.
"You just liked that woman. So you would risk your life to save her. But to save her, you have to hurt others, you have to commit a sin. And you didn't want to let that woman bear that responsibility. Because of you, I committed this sin, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have committed this sin. YOU DIDN'T WANT TO SAY THAT NO MATTER WHAT!"
Index shouted in order to stop him.
"IT'S JUST THAT SIMPLE! SO, SO THAT'S WHY YOU CAN'T DESTROY YOURSELF! IF YOU DESTROY YOURSELF, EVEN IF YOU UNDO THE CURSE ON THAT WOMAN, YOU'LL LET HER LIVE A LIFE OF GUILT!!"
Kamijou continued to run, gritting his teeth.
"IF YOU REALLY WANT TO SAVE THAT WOMAN, EVEN IF YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD WHO WANTS TO SAVE HER, EVEN IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GIVE UP, IF YOU CAN'T GIVE UP ON A PERSON WHO'S CURSED TO DIE, THAT'S ALL THE MORE REASON WHY YOU SHOULDN'T RELY ON THIS CORRUPTED GRIMOIRE!"
I see. Kamijou understood everything.
Reaching the highest level, Kamijou continued to dash up to the end of the stairs, where the door leading to the roof was.It was too much of a hassle to grab the handle of the door and open it. Kamijou just kicked it down.
