A Certain Magical Index: My Reincarnated Girlfriend

Kiryu knew that nothing happening in Academy City could be hidden from Aleister with his bald head...

The hovering UNDER_LINE that covered the entire Academy City allowed Aleister to stay at home and still be aware of all things in the city.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Kiryu never thought about hiding his existence, there was absolutely no need for it, after all, he was not in Academy City to do anything bad, just attending school due to the invitation...

Plus, adopting a cute lolita was not against the law or anything, right? Could that really be considered a bad thing? This is actually an act of great virtue! So it shouldn't be seen as anything bad...

However, Kiryu never expected that this big boss would directly seek him out.

It happened on a sunny afternoon.

It was less than half a day after he and Kihara Enshuu had moved into the villa. He was sitting on the sofa in the villa's living room, seriously contemplating whether the lolita could take a bath properly on her own, whether she could get clean, and whether he needed to help her. He absolutely did not have any inappropriate thoughts... it was everyone's responsibility to care for lolis. Wouldn't anyone feel guilty seeing a child in trouble and not lending a hand?

As an outstanding socialist successor, he had to be responsible for the personal safety of young lolis!

At that crucial moment of his life's difficult choice, a voice abruptly appeared in his mind.

~ 'Nanaya, let's meet' ~

'Huh???' Although it was a voice he had never heard before, Kiryu had already guessed who it was.

In Academy City, besides Aleister Crowley, who else could be so mysterious?

The voice sounded somewhat like a female's, yet also somewhat like a man's... It even gave the feeling of both an old person and a child.

In short, it was very bizarre!

So bizarre that Kiryu found it hard to describe.

The big boss of Academy City's sudden appearance made Kiryu abandon his plan to help the young loli take a bath, and he tried to respond in his mind.

According to his understanding, this should be done this way...

'Who are you?', Even if he knew who the other person was, he couldn't show it at this moment.

~ 'Hehe, Nanaya, have you ever been confused? Life's journey is always full of setbacks, hardships, confusion, and various calamities...Whether intentional or accidental, history is always full of betrayers. Humans are jealous of those with unusual abilities, they fear those with great power, and they always refuse to face reality honestly. This is humanity.' ~

Listening to Aleister's heartfelt speech, Kiryu said, 'Speak human words.'

~ "..." ~

The other party fell silent, perhaps out of irritation.

After a long time, the voice came again,

~ 'As expected of Nanaya, always so blunt and unkind in your response...' ~

~ 'I am Aleister Crowley, the head of Academy City's Board of Directors, and I welcome Nanaya to our city... ~

'Director, if there's something you need, you can discuss it with my clan elders. I'm still just a fifteen-year-old kid...' Kiryu lacked confidence, wondering if this bald boss had any nefarious intentions. Being targeted by him wouldn't be a good thing...

~ 'A fifteen-year-old master of Nanaya's assassination arts?' ~

The voice carried a hint of mockery or teasing, which made Kiryu's face change immediately.

He was sure that it must be someone from his clan who leaked his details; otherwise, how could the big boss know so much? Didn't they know not to talk to unfamiliar people? It could easily lead to problems, especially with a conspirator like this big boss—!

~ 'Rest assured, I hold 'Nanaya' in high regard. I mean no harm and simply want to meet you.' ~

Listening to this voice, Kiryu felt that Aleister wasn't lying, but his words could not be fully trusted either.

But why just 'Nanaya' and not the Nanaya Clan? In Kiryu's view, there was a difference between 'Nanaya' and the Nanaya Clan.

Could it be that the big boss really knew some secrets?

'Then, what is your location...?'

There was no way to refuse, the man only wanted to meet, and there were plenty of methods to do so. A direct invitation was quite polite. Although Kiryu did not trust Aleister, he also didn't worry that Aleister would intend to get rid of him at first sight... he wasn't that significant yet.

~ 'In the Seventh School District, the location is—' ~

'Director...' Kiryu looked out at the scenery outside the villa and continued with a tone full of deep emotion and woes, 'If you don't send someone to guide me, I'm afraid I'll never see you in this lifetime.'

Being geographically challenged is quite scary, especially in Kiryu's case... If he just walked out of the villa, not only would he be unable to find the building in the Seventh School District without doors and windows, but he might also not even find his way back to the villa and would have to call the police for help...

...

{T/N: Making sense of Aleister's words here was very draining and I'm still not sure whether I managed to get everything right or not...

I spent a good part of my free time today struggling with this chapter, so I don't have the energy to even attempt another one, tough luck y'all...}
