Academy City's Puppet Master

But in the corridor at the door, he saw an unexpected object—a maid sitting on top of a barrel-shaped robot.

Well, it's not too surprising, Kamijou Touma knew this girl.

The younger sister of the next-door classmate and bad friend Motoharu Tsuchimikado, Maika Tsuchimikado, a reserve maid who is studying at the maid training school "Hyunran Housekeeping".

Because she has to take care of her brother, she is also a frequent visitor to this apartment.

Kamijou Touma has known her for a long time.

"Yo, good morning, Maika."

Seeing Kamijou Touma coming back, Tsuchimikado Maika panicked, and drove the robot next to her.

"It's not good, Kamijou Touma!" Although the situation was urgent, the girl's tone was as leisurely as ever, without courage, "Your Miss Index has been kidnapped!"

"what!!!"

"I'm sorry, although this happened right in front of me, I have no ability to stop it..." Maika Tsuchimikado handed out an envelope with both hands, "This is the letter left by the kidnapper."

"When did it happen? Did you see the appearance of that bastard kidnapper?" Kamijou Touma hurriedly asked without looking at the letter.

"Hmm...he's over 180 centimeters tall, and he's a foreigner, but he can speak Japanese very well."

"Uh-huh."

"Wearing a priest's attire..."

"Um……"

"But it really doesn't look like a priest, with a strong perfume smell, and his hair is dyed red, and he wears thick rings on all ten fingers; by the way, he has a barcode-like tattoo under his right eye ! and smoking..."

"Huh?" Kamijou Touma suddenly let out a long sigh, and his shoulders immediately relaxed, "It's that bastard British priest."

Kamijou Touma opened the envelope, and there was a piece of letter paper inside, with the words traced on it with a ruler:

"Kamijou Touma, if you want her to live, come alone to the ruins of the abandoned theater 'Homeiza' outside Academy City at seven o'clock tonight."

"People still use a ruler to cover up their handwriting these days?" Kamijou Touma couldn't help complaining, "Also, what's the point of doing that? Is that guy here to tease me?"

Then, he poured out another stack of papers from the envelope—it turned out to be Academy City's going out permit and related documents.

"Sure enough, there is still something, can't you tell me normally?"

Maika Tsuchimikado looked at her in confusion.

Kamijou Touma quickly explained: "Don't worry, that guy is someone I know, he might be playing a prank."

"But then again, isn't Kanzaki here?" Kamijou Touma asked again.

If she was there, wouldn't Stiyl Magnus be allowed to do such a stupid thing?

"Miss Kanzaki suddenly had something to do, so she went out before school time." Maika Tsuchimikado said.

"What's the matter?" Kamijou Touma felt an ominous premonition—did something really happen?

"Well, it seems that I have received a date invitation."

"What?"

……

One of the less than 20 saints in the world, the female pope of the Amakusa-style cross desolate religion, Kanzaki Kaori was hovering in front of the school with a troubled expression on her face.

She crossed the Seventh School District and came to the No.18 School District, at the gate of Changdian Shangji Academy.

Different from other schools, Changdian Shangji Academy, which pursues elite education, has a relatively late closing time.

Therefore, Kanzaki Kaori, who was wandering alone outside the gate at this time, was particularly conspicuous.

She is a beauty of a higher standard, and her attire is too unique, it is difficult not to attract attention.

Fortunately, she packed the weapon in a bag for seven days and seven knives, so as not to attract security guards and guards to interrogate her.

"Damn it, why haven't you come out yet? Am I coming too early?" Kanzaki Kaori whispered to himself, "But it's obviously you who invited me, isn't it too unpunctual?"

She looked down at the phone screen, and an email was displayed on it:

"Kanzaki, I have something very important to tell you, can you come and find me at the school gate?"

The inscribed name is "Ling Xing Ye".

But she waited at the door for a long time but no one came out.

Instead, emails were sent one after another.

"Sorry, there is still a little thing to deal with, please wait a moment."

"I'm going to make some preparations, I'm waiting for a while..."

and so on.

Finally, it was time to leave school.

Kanzaki Kaori looked for Ling Xingye's figure among the crowd pouring out of the school gate, which once attracted the attention of the students.

And finally summoned the guard teacher...

In the classroom of Class [-], Grade [-], Ling Xingye and Hitomi Shiranui walked out of the classroom together.
