I'm happy being a monster...
Since I'm a monster, no matter how many times that golem punched me, I didn't die.
Because I'm a monster, I'm able to stand up to that golem.
I will use my power to protect those I cherish.
That's why I'm fortunate... to be a monster...
Damn it!
Like I'll let it end this way!
Kazaki-
Kazakiri!!!
Like I'll let it end... in such a stupid way!

Imaginary Number Sector
Five Elements Institution
If you're looking for Ellis, I had her go ahead of me.
I should think she's reached her target by now.
Or perhaps... the target might already have been shredded to chunks of meat!
You piece of...
That's perfect.
You just stay here and be my opponent.
Unfortunately that girl got by.
Kazakiri?!
It appeared you were able to destroy Ellis.
I want war.
What the hell are you thinking?
There's still a balance between magic and science, isn't there?
Yet, why?
When espers use magic, their body will be destroyed.
You've heard of that at least?
What?
Didn't you think that was weird?
How would anyone know about that?
Because someone tried to, around twenty years ago,
back when there was a movement to have magic and science walk together,
which was started by one of our inner factions.
They were trying to give birth to a new type of caster that possessed both esper abilities and magic.
The result was...
Ellis was my friend.
Ellis was one of the espers brought in by the faction in Academy City.
Thanks to the spells I taught her,
Ellis ended up spilling all her blood.
To save me from the Knights that came to destroy our facility,
Ellis was beaten to death by their maces.
We cannot co-exist!
Magicians in the world of magic!
Scientists in the world of science!
If we don't know the boundaries of our own fields properly, the same mistakes will be repeated over and over again!
Damn it, this is not making any sense!
If this is about protecting each other, what the hell is starting a war going to do?
Wait, you're not actually going to start one.
If you're going to accomplish what you want, you just want a situation where they're about to go to war.
Don't look at me so highly, kid.
How dare you look at me with pity!
The clay is my ally.
And in this abyss surrounded by clay, I am the ruler!
Don't tell me... she's going to destroy the entire tunnel?!
Everything, crumble down!
Like a puppet of mud!
Shit, what should I do?!
Then, Touma, did you know this?
The direction and standing position of the caster in the formula used...
Get it wrong just by a little, and it won't function at all.
Do you know that golden ratio, huh?
I see!
Devour the foolish ones!
Melt them into the mud!
The magic seals on the walls and ceiling are used to bury me alive.
And I will recompose your body with all this mud!
Then, she didn't need to have seals on the ground, too!
That must mean these seals are the ones that protect her!
What?!
It stopped-
Damn it...
Damn...
I need to... create war... the reason for it...
Academy City is letting down its guard too much.
Even the Church is letting an outsider have possession of Index Librorum Prohibitorum, showing their naivety.
It was the same situation that occurred during Ellis' time.
A tragedy of that scale took place back then when there were just small factions.
If Academy City and the English Purist Church in their entireties are joining hands-
This is pathetic.
Go ahead and be angry. Be sad.
But, what the hell did Kazakiri do then?
What did Index do to you?
You point your weapon at someone...
...and that's when real wars happen!
You don't get it.
Damn it!
I want to slaughter all magicians and espers!
But that's not it!
I really don't want magicians and espers fighting each other!
My mind was in conflict from the very beginning...
I have more than one conviction... I have as many as the number of stars...
Why didn't you realize...
...that there was only one thing you believed in from the very beginning?
In the end, you just didn't want to lose your dear friend, right?
In your eyes, did Index look like she didn't want to be with me?
Did we look like we were going to fight unless we were isolated in our own separate worlds?
We are able to live together without doing such things!
So don't take my dear friend away from me either!
Intimus115!!!
Oh, I see.
When she said she has as many convictions as the number of stars...
Die, esper!!!
You understood the one emotion inside you...
...of wanting someone...
...to stop you, huh?!
This may be bad...
Long distance manipulation has been switched to automaton mode.
I can't interfere!
Ellis...
I can't reach you...
Ellis...
Kazakiri!
Index!
Touma...
Hyouka?!
Hyou... ka...
Run.
Hurry and run!
It's still dangerous here.
The golem went berserk.
It might be losing control of its regeneration ability.
Hyouka, let's run!
You hurry and run.
What do you mean, "you"?
What about you, Hyouka?
I need to stop that monster.
You can't!
You can't think that you can fight a monster like that!
If you do that, you'll die for sure, Hyouka!
Don't worry.
I'm not human either.
Sorry... for not telling you all this time...
Hyouka!!!
The ones to fight monsters... must also be monsters!
I can't go back there anymore.
That "time" will never happen again!
Even so...
Even so, I can't abandon her!!!
Hyouka!!!
Because... she's my friend!!!
Kazakiri!!!
Touma!
I told you...
...that there's still hope in the world you reside in...
...and that I'd show you that!!!
It's over...
...and so is the nice illusion...
Wow, it's so messy here.
What is all this?
Don't tell me this is your doing, too.
You know, while this does happen all the time,
how much trouble do you have to get yourself into?
What's wrong?
My, Oneesama!!!
There you are-
Don't tell me... Oneesama, you...
No, I didn't!
In the very near future, Judgment and Anti-Skill will come after you.
Before this gets bad, let's run away.
Wait, I said this wasn't-
I knew from the very beginning.
Everyone knew, didn't they?
When a monster reveals its true nature, they know what happens next.
I didn't want this.
But what could I do?
A friend...
A person who called me a friend for the first time in my life...
I wanted to save her...
Why must I lose this?
Why must I be afraid?
I...
I just didn't want my dear friend to get hurt!!!
That's why I stood up!
I wanted to be with her forever!
I knew that I could be good friends with her!
But... it was impossible...
...even if she became scared of me... hated me...
...I couldn't watch her get killed!!
Do you feel pain?
Do you feel sad?
If you do, then you're not a monster, okay?
I know this sounds corny, but you're human.
I guarantee that.
Also...
Your illusion isn't over yet.
That's...
Why...
Isn't this weird?
I'm... not human...
...yet why is she looking at me... as a friend...
Yeah, maybe your composition is a bit different from a human's,
and you might be able to do things other people can't...
Hyouka!
But, it doesn't change the fact that you're Index's friend, right?
You happy now?
Now you're another step closer to the completion of a key...
...that can control the Imaginary Number Sector - Five Elements Institution.
To be honest, you're a monster to me.
To think that the Imaginary Number Sector's true nature is the AIM dispersion field itself...
I'm sure no one would think of that.
Then, to be adding self-consciousness to and helping the materialization of something like that,
I don't think you to be sane at all.
What are you thinking, Aleister?
Wait.
The Imaginary Number Sector is a kind of aggregation of power that exists in a separate dimension from humans.
An organism born from that aggregation is...
I know what that is...
An angel!
If the inhabitants of the Imaginary Number Sector, like Kazakiri, were "Angels" per se,
then the city in which they live in would be... in other words...
Don't tell me you're trying to artificially create Heaven?!
Throwing words like "Angels" and "Heaven" at me...
Cut me some slack.
As if there'd be someone who'd know more than you,
Aleister Crowley, the magician!
From this time's incident, the world has slowly begun to tremble.
You purposely lured in a member of the English Purist Church and defeated her.
What you're thinking is completely beyond me.
But if you're going to take advantage of that Imagine Breaker, then be prepared.
Face him with half-assed beliefs, and his right hand will eat your illusions alive.
The illusions I believed in... are already in a destroyed state since long ago...
Look!
This time, I'm completely unscratched!
Damn, I'm good!
This is a sign that I'm learning, right?
Right?
Kamijo-chan!
You really, really, really LOVE causing trouble for others, don't you?!
Gosh, for you to be in Anti-Skill's custody...
That's why I told you to be careful of Kazakiri Hyouka.
Your personality of going all out when it comes to women needs a good amount of tweaking sometime.
Umm, these two people in the back scare me, so could I stay in the hospital?
In absolute-rest, no-visitor conditions-
U-Umm...
Your skirt...
You're not going to fix it?
Is it that weird?
I think so...
I really think so...
It was already weird to begin with.
It might be even weirder now.
Already?
Hyouka, you-
Yeah.
My body is like a lump of esper power.
No matter what I do, it'll never change the fact that I'm an unstable entity.
Is this because of Touma's right hand?
No.
If his powers really affected me, then I would've been gone already.
Ah, right, right.
About his power, I don't know too much about it myself.
Esper abilities, alone, aren't enough to explain it.
Now then.
Hyouka?
I need to go back now.
Hyouka!
Don't you worry, I'll be all right.
My body is formed from the powers of many, many people.
Even if I did disappear, it wouldn't mean I'd died.
It'd just mean you wouldn't be able to see me.
Even if you can't tell,
I will always be by your side.
Hyouka...
We'll hang out together again, right?
Of course!
Like I said, second semester is very busy.
nanigenai ima mo mada minu ashita de sae mo
Neither the nonchalant present, nor the unforeseeable future
But I have so much time, I'm bored!
Touma wouldn't pay attention to me or play with me!

Know of the firm resolve within my heart.
Look, this is what magicians should look like.
Moe, right? Moe, right?!
Come on, Hime-yan, you do it, too!

Fighting my way past the coincidental laughs,
Is this... moe then?
Okay, boys and girls, we're going to start homeroom.

Oh?
Where's Tsuchimikado-chan?
Yeah, I started my job already.

Yes, please.

Just a bit more, one more time
KUROKO!!!
A situation has arisen where we need the Index Librorum Prohibitorum's assistance.
Have her keeper come, as well.
"Keeper", eh?
Understood.
Kanzaki and I will leave for Japan right away.
The problem, however, is we cannot contact Kanzaki.
What do you mean, Arc Bishop?
I am wearing a rather dull attire for a change,
you shan't address me by my formal title.
Laura Stuart.
You shall address me by that name.
Daihasei Festival - the strongest in Academy City
Umm, Index-san?
Touma, you forgot the fridge was empty, didn't you?
Touma, eating something delicious all by yourself...
N-No, this is leftover from lunch...
Touma, you're the only one who even had a lunch, right?!
I'm hungry, I'm hungry, I'm hungry!!!
Such misfortune!!!
