Editing Toaru Majutsu no Index:MvM Chapter3 (section)

===Part 22===

A full stomach could work wonders.

When someone’s mental state deteriorated enough, they could reach a point where they couldn’t even eat, but as long as that wasn’t an issue, fulfilling their body’s demands would improve the elves’ mental health. Their digestive organs didn’t seem atrophied, so they had probably actually been given food. Their “job” was slave, so maybe they had been forcibly fed plenty of food, albeit of the lowest quality, to ensure they could continue doing hard lab-





''All of a sudden.





Still standing, Mikoto and Shokuhou were moved like a film with frames missing. To them, it felt more like their surroundings had been swapped out than that they had been taken away. It happened so smoothly and naturally, but they couldn’t sort out their memories of it when they thought back on it.

“???”

It reminded more of Shirai Kuroko’s teleportation than anything else. If an esper could move people tens of thousands of kilometers without touching them, they might be able to accomplish this.

The #3 and the #5 widened their eyes.

They were in a holy ground or a temple with a luxury smartphone aesthetic and a sparkling wine coloration.

This was the first place they had been taken. Did that mean they weren’t even in Celesaqphere anymore?

“Hey, wait,” frantically yelled bikini armor Mikoto.

The vast space was deserted. Where had that small and busty mystery goddess gotten off to!?

“What do you think you’re doing!? Why’d you bring us here? We still haven’t saved Patissiet and the other elves!!”

They had saved the elves from being so senselessly execute in that village, but that didn’t solve the whole problem. If the great power that was Mikoto and Shokuhou was removed from the equation, what would happen to those elves? Patissiet would be recaptured by the humans and end up right back where she started!!

“You took it too far.”

They heard a voice.

A familiar one.

The pure white dancer was right there in front of them. Even though there was nowhere to hide in this wide-open space. They weren’t sure how they hadn’t noticed her before. Could it really be explained with teleportation? Or did the goddess not have a physical form until she wanted one?

(She can’t be like that aggregation of AIM Diffusion Fields I saw before, can she?)

(She’s a Reincarnation Goddess…but how is that defined exactly? For example, what makes a goddess different from an angel and how do they compare against each other in strength ability?)

Their many questions and doubts were casually thrown out.

The little god was definitely here now and she spoke with a smile.

“You were about ready to break all the rules of Celesaqphere and reign supreme there. So. As an emergency measure, I’ll be taking you two to another world.”

“Reincarnation Goddess Salinagaritina, you told us you can take us from Earth to another world, but not the other way around,” said Shokuhou.

“Right. Which is why I can only transport your souls from that old world to a new world. That doesn’t violate the territory of another goddess and it doesn’t break my own rules as a Reincarnation Goddess.”

Did a goddess this powerful really have rules she had to follow?

Was there someone who would punish her if she broke them?

Salinagaritina must have hoped Mikoto and Shokuhou would travel across the world she sent them to and complete its map, invent a specific item, or whatever else, but since it didn’t look like they were going to do whatever it was, she had decided to put an end to it.

Did she think she could get away with anything as long as she didn’t break the rules?

“Eh heh heh. Now, what world should I send you to next? This one was my mistake, so I’ll search out a world with some conditions that give you a real advantage☆ Maybe a world where humans and dinosaurs coexist, or a world where humans have become electric beings and swim freely through the network. Oh, there’s just so many fantastic options out there!”

“Wait, we still need to help Patissiet. We can’t just abandon her there. If you’re going to take us from that world, you at least need to promise you’ll protect her!!”

“Oh, I know. This time, you can fight in a vast space war spanning the solar system☆”

“Listen, damn youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!” “Listen, damn youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!”
