A Certain Magical Index: My Reincarnated Girlfriend

{T/N: After going through this chapter, I noticed an inconsistency with the few previous chapters (9 and 10) whereby Enshuu's first words that she learned were "Nanaya Kiryu", it should be just "Kiryu" instead... So I went back and corrected that translation error. You should probably read the Chapters again before going through with this one to avoid the impending confusion... Comment if you DISCOVER why that error would've been grievous if it was not corrected😎...}

——*——*——*——

"I arrived more than a month before you set off, young master." Houshou answered as he glanced oddly at Enshuu, who was clinging to Kiryu. He thought, 'The family's genius is indeed... different. He just stepped out into the outside world and already has a little girl following him, seemingly devoted to him. The world is really going downhill!'

Pearls before swine indeed...

...

Despite his internal complaints, Nanaya Houshou's attitude remained respectful.

"Young master, you must have gotten lost again..." he pointed out knowingly.

"Get lost! You knew I would get lost and still let me go out alone? I think you're purposely making things difficult for me!!" Kiryu was almost fuming, "Ah, it's jealousy, isn't it? Jealous of my excellence!" he reasoned.

These jerks knew he would get lost and still didn't send anyone to guide him, leaving him to wander for over a month!

He couldn't be bothered to try explaining he was directionally challenged to his clan members, they knew him well enough.

Rolling his eyes, Houshou ignored Kiryu's accusations and continued, "During the month you were lost, I have arranged everything for your future life. The clan elder has already discussed the details with Academy City. From now on, this villa is your private territory. No one is allowed to trespass without your permission..."

"Trespassers can be dealt with at your discretion, and Academy City will not interfere. However, there's a condition; you should not meddle in Academy City's affairs without reason. If you have any objections, I can renegotiate with Academy City's Board of Directors. They might make some concessions for the Nanaya Clan."

"Oh~~~ such favorable treatment!" Narrowing his eyes slightly, Kiryu smirked, "It seems the Nanaya Clan is quite influential."

Given the exceptional treatment in all aspects, the only condition was that he wouldn't meddle in Academy City's business... if Kiryu weren't a transmigrator, he wouldn't know why Academy City would make such a seemingly bad deal. But as a transmigrator, he concluded it must have been Aleister Crowley, the upside-down man, worrying that this variable would disrupt his plans...

The other party was wary not of him, but the entire Nanaya Clan.

It seemed the Nanaya Clan had secrets he still didn't know about.

Honestly, Kiryu did not understand some things... If Aleister was wary of the Nanaya Clan, why did he send an invitation? Wasn't that shooting himself in the foot? Or did he have ulterior motives?

"Young master, you should have more confidence in the 'Nanaya Clan'." Hearing Kiryu's words, Houshou straightened his back proudly.

His words clearly showed his genuine pride in being a member of the Nanaya Clan.

In this regard, Kiryu found it hard to relate, perhaps due to being a transmigrator.

"Forget it, no need to discuss anything further. Let's leave it at that." Kiryu shrugged.

He would decide whether to cause trouble based on his mood, regardless of the conditions.

Of course, he would admit defeat when necessary, after all, he only had 'one' life, and he wasn't an unreasonable person.

"Understood." Houshou nodded.

At this moment, Enshuu who standing nearby was dumbfounded.

The Nanaya Clan?

What's that???

In the world line where she knew her Onii-sama, he was an orphan, raised in an orphanage in Academy City, with no apparent background. Otherwise, how could he have been so easily killed by the Kihara Clan?

But now, what was the situation?

Her Onii-sama's clan had the power to negotiate with Academy City, which meant... she didn't need to worry about him being persecuted by the Kihara clan again? Her Onii-sama had the strength to handle any calamity, and she could stay by his side.

Also... does this confirm her speculation?

Yes, Kihara Enshuu used her 'Kihara' genius thinking to categorize her situation as one of the countless world lines split off during the world's development due to different choices and external conditions... In other words, the same person in different world lines could have vastly different circumstances.

And her Onii-sama's situation fit this phenomenon!

The Onii-sama in the new world line and the one in her original world line were the same person, but also different in some ways.

This created two versions of her Onii-sama.

If they were different people, she would have known, after all, her love for her Onii-sama would never lead her astray!

However, Enshuu did not realize that her guess was only partially correct...

"Alright, you can leave now." Kiryu dismissed Houshou with a wave of his hand, and then led a thoughtful Enshuu towards the villa...
