"Huh? Ah, don't worry! There should be several branches here."

Squatting by the wall with Xia Qing, the petite girl wrapped her arms around her knees.

"Church, there seems to be a church in this city, but there is only one."

And because in Neon, Christian culture in a broad sense is not deeply rooted, and natural disasters such as earthquakes often occur here, it is difficult to preserve "historical buildings".

The church in this city is just a compound house with a cross on the roof.

"Hmm...but not all churches are suitable...the one I belong to is a sect of country Y..."

It seemed that she was afraid that Xia Qing would not understand, so she explained before Xia Qing could speak.

"Uh...Christianity in a broad sense is actually divided into many denominations. First of all, it can be divided into two major denominations, Catholicism and Protestantism. The Catholic denomination I belong to can be subdivided into the Roman Orthodox Church with the Vatican as the center, and the Russian church with Russia as its base. Established Christianity, British Puritanism with St. George's Cathedral as its core."

"So...if I run into another church, they won't help me."

Index smiled wryly.

Then, she got up and went to the door of the apartment, opened the door and tried to walk out.

"Hey, why don't you stay here first..."

Before Xia Qing finished speaking, the girl screamed "Yeah!", and then fled back into the house as if flying, and threw herself into Xia Qing's arms who had just walked to the door.

"Wow! Xia Qing! Something strange popped out as if nothing had happened...!?"

Index screamed with tears in her eyes, even forgetting that she was hugging Xia Qing at the moment.

"That's just a cleaning robot, it won't hurt you."

Xia Qing explained to the girl in his arms.

The cleaning robot is the size and shape of a large iron bucket with tiny rollers on the bottom.Just like a large cleaning machine, the floor is cleaned by the rotation of the round rag at the bottom.

In order to avoid pedestrians and obstacles, there are cameras on it, and girls in miniskirts hate this thing.

"...So, that's the way it is. As expected of a technological powerhouse, has it entered the era of mechanizing even demons!?"

"That's not a familiar."

Xia Qing, who has also dabbled in the [Magic] system, tried to explain the difference between familiars and machines to the girl, but in the end she chose to give up. It is impossible for the girl not to know what familiars are, she just knows nothing about technology. Just know.

"This is Academy City, and the streets are full of these things."

"Academy City?"

"That's right, the slow-developed areas in the western district of Kyoto were acquired all at once, and this "city" was established. This "city of schools" included dozens of universities and hundreds of elementary schools, junior high schools, and high schools. Eighty percent of the residents are students, and the buildings that look like apartments are actually student dormitories.”

This [Academy City] not only teaches students to read, but also secretly develops superpowers and bodies.

"So the scenery on the street will be a little different. Automatic food waste processors, wind turbines that have reached the practical level, and cleaning robots just now... The experimental products developed by these universities are all over the street. The technological civilization here The level is probably 20 years more advanced than the outside world.”

By the standards of this world.

This is what Xia Qing didn't say.

"Ugh..."

Index carefully left Xia Qing's embrace, then looked at the cleaning robot and said.

"So, all the buildings in this city are under the jurisdiction of Academy City?"

Xia Qing nodded.

"Well, so if you want to find the church you belong to, it's basically impossible in this city, and I don't think those people will protect you."

"Eh? Why do you say that?"

Index was taken aback, unable to understand Xia Qing's words.

"Anyway, spend the night with me tonight."

Xia Qing said with a smile.

"But... it will trouble you..."

Although she said so, the look of joy in the girl's eyes had already betrayed her.

"Tomorrow's breakfast is rich."

The girl who heard these words shouted with staring eyes.

"I am willing!"

"Don't act like I'm proposing to you."

Xia Qing complained while opening the door to let her in.

"It's okay, no one saw it anyway, no! I never promised you..."

Index's cheeks were slightly red, and she said in a low voice.

When walking into the house, Xia Qing glanced at the roof of an apartment in the distance, and after observing the two figures standing there with "Sharing Eye", the corners of his mouth slowly curved.

That was the partner who formed a friendship with Index when she was first amnesticized, but because of the deception of the church, she is still kept in the dark, and she only wants to eliminate Index before the end of time. her memory.

And Index will need to perform magic and rituals to eliminate memories every year, and it is also because the "Supreme Bishop Laura Stewart" has designed the rule that "memory (Index) must be eliminated every year", and also formulated In order to prevent the "forbidden book catalog" from betrayal of security measures.
