Chapter 16 - Existence Beyond Saint

"So in this inn that was standing on top of the hill, the place where Index is right now?" Stiyl said who had a new cigarette in his mouth. "That means, retrieving Index isn't that difficult. Because I don't feel any barriers or anything that can hinder us in this place."

"I thought so too," Yukina said. "But it turned out that after I stepped onto the hill my magic power was suppressed completely to the point that I could barely feel it at all, it turned out that the hill where the inn was standing turned out to be some kind of power spot that made almost all kinds of supernatural powers weakened to the minimum level. Plus the entire area of ​​that hill and the inn that stands on it is the private estate of Hiko Seijuro, the number one swordsman in the world."

"Tssk then among the three of us only Kaori might still be able to fight on that hill, since she is a Saint," Stiyl said who didn't like the current situation he had to face. "Tsuchimikado won't interfere with our affairs so we don't have to worry about him, the problem is Hiko Seijuro. If we create trouble in his territory, we will get into trouble."

"The existence of a human whose strength surpasses that of a Saint like me should be a very impossible thing, but Hiko Seijuro proved the otherwise," Kaori said who turned pale as she recalled the crushing defeat she suffered at the hands of Hiko back when the two of them met him on some mission. "We mustn't act rashly in this place, we have to come up with a well-thought-out plan to be able to save Index or else we'll be in trouble."

"Do what you want to do, because I can only help you get here," Yukina said who started walking towards the bus stop. "Because if I help you guys any more than this, I'll get a bad lectures from my superiors."

After that Yukina left by entering the bus that had just arrived and disappeared from Stiyl and Kaori's sight.

"She's doing the very right thing by not interfering with the problem we're currently dealing with," Stiyl said as he exhaled a large amount of cigarette smoke from his mouth. "Besides, we absolutely didn't need a help from the Lion King Organization whose power is far below the History Compilation Committee, or even Neccesarius. Plus Himeragi Yukina is just an amateur, her existence will only interfere with our mission."

"It's no good looking down on others and being arrogant like that Stiyl," Kaori said who had never liked Stiyl behaviour. "One day your arrogance will bring you bad luck, and you'll regret being an arrogant asshole."

"Tssk never," Stiyl said who laughed at Kaori's words. "Things like karma would never happen to me. And I have a right to be arrogant about because I am one of the strongest magicians of Neccesarius."

Inside the Yuragi Sou, there was tremendous tension between Kumokawa Seria and Misaki Shokuhou just as Touma had predicted. When Shizuka, Chitose and Misaki had finished cooking in the kitchen and brought the food to the dining room. Misaki and Seria met when Seria and Touma went to the dining room right after Chitose called everyone who was at the inn to come to the dining room.

And now the two of them were looking at each other with scary looks. To the point of making the aura in the dining room very unpleasant.

"Ara Kumokawa-Senpai, I didn't expect you to come to this Yuragi Sou at all," Misaki said with a smiling face but a sinister look. "Did you come to this place to get close to Touma-san?"

"Yes, I came here to get close to my precious Kouhai?" Answered Seria with a facial expression no less frightening than Misaki. "There's nothing wrong with a beautiful and sexy young girl like me trying to attract the attention of a charming and kind man like Kamijou-kun."

"Of course I'll do my best to prevent that," Misaki replied with an evil smile on her lips. "Because in this world, the only girl who deserves to be Touma-san's lover is only me!"

Touma could only sigh while patting his face, every time Misaki and Seria met the result would always be like this. And Touma always had a hard time stopping the fight between Misaki and Seria.

Next to Touma, Chitose and Shizuka who didn't like, when the atmosphere of the dinner became chaotic started to emit an aura of anger that was far more terrifying than the aura of enmity between Misaki and Seria. Shizuka and Chitose patted Touma's shoulder and said to Touma with horrifying facial expressions.

"Touma-san, since the quarrel between the two of them was caused by you, I want you to immediately stop the quarrel between Kumokawa-Senpai and Shokuhou-san!" Shizuka said. "Otherwise they'll ruin our very sacred dinner! Plus I won't be giving you dinner for a week if you don't stop the two of them!"

"Touma-san I won't repeat what Shizuka-san just said," Chitose said who looked very angry. "So quickly stop their bickering before I use my power to jinx them both!"

Touma wasn't too afraid of Shizuka's anger, as he could handle Shizuka when she was angry. But Chitose was a different matter, not only was Touma unable to replicate Chitose's Luck Manipulation power using Empathy Mimicry, but whatever Touma did against Chitose was useless. So Touma is very obedient to Chitose, in Yuragi Sou the only one who can calm Chitose down is Hiko, who is thw man that Chitose really loved.

Having no other choice, Touma walked towards Misaki and Seria who were bickering with hope and prayer in his heart that he could stop their bickering quickly and without any problems.

"Wooow, I feel happy when Nakai-san calls us to dinner, because Nakai-san and Shizuka-san's food is delicious," Saten said. "But I didn't think that when we arrived at the dining room what we found was not delicious food, but a fight between Shokuhou-san and a beautiful girl I didn't know. Kotori-chan do you recognize who that girl is?"

"That girl's name is Kumokawa Seria, Onii-chan's senior at his school," Kotori said who was currently patting her face when she saw Seria. "And she is Misaki Shokuhou's biggest rival to win Onii-chan's heart."

"Hmm, I didn't believe it when you said that Misaki liked your older brother, Kotori-chan," Mikoto said who for some reason didn't like the fact that Misaki liked Touma. "But seeing him fighting with another girl because of your sister, it seems that what you said was true Kotori-chan. Misaki is indeed in love with your brother Kamijou Touma."

"Well, and if they don't stop fighting soon, we'll never be able to have dinner," Kotori said while clutching her rumbling stomach. "I'm already very hungry."

"Umu the smell of that food makes me drool," Uiharu said with sparkling eyes. "How delicious is the food made by Chitose-san and Shizuka-san."

"We'll only know when Misaki Shokuhou and Kumokawa Seria stop fighting," Kuroko said with saliva pouring from her mouth. "Uuuh I can't wait to taste the delicious food on the table!"

'Uukh what I wanted is to challenge that guy to a fight! But in this situation is not right to challenge him for a fight!' Mikoto said in her heart. 'I'd better wait until dinner is over before I challenge him to a fight!'

***

Inside the room where Index was sleeping, the smell of delicious food coming from the dining room wafted into Index's nose. And because of the smell of the food in the blink of an eye Index opened and then she is screaming: "Food!"

***

In front of Yuragi Sou, Maika and Kirika who had just returned right after Stiyl and Kaori were gone. Felt an uneasy feeling that made the two of them feel reluctant to enter into the Yuragi Sou. But because they were both hungry and tired they both heeded their bad feelings and decided to enter Yuragi Sou.
