&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==Prolog: Aksi dimulai (Gerbang telah dibuka)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Katedral St. George.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meskipun disebut katedral, tetapi gereja ini hanya salah satu dari sejumlah gereja ditengah Kota London. Meskipun tidak dapat dibilang kecil, terdapat perbedaan yang sangat besar jika dibandingkan dengan Westminster Abbey dan Katedral St. Paulus. Tentu saja tdak bisa dibandingkan dengan Katedral Canterbury, gereja asal mula Puritanisme di Inggris.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bahkan faktanya di London, jumlah bangunan yang bernama &#039;St. George&#039; sangat banyak. Selain gereja, ada departement store, restoran, toko-toko pakaian, dan sekolah-sekolah. Bisa ada banyak bangunan bernama itu di dalam kota. Tidak hanya itu, paling tidak ada lebih dari sepuluh gereja dengan nama &#039;Katedral St. George&#039;. Hubungan antara &#039;St George&#039; dan para orang Inggris bahkan dapat dilihat dari Union Jack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Katedral St. George ini sebelumnya adalah markas dari ‘Necessarius’.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tetapi mereka tidak memiliki pekerjaan yang glamor (TN: better translation expected) Tugas dari ‘Necessarius’ adalah mengeliminasi berbagai asosiasi sihir di Ingris dan penyihir-penyihir yang terlibat di dalamnya. Untuk mencapai tujuan ini, ‘Necessarius’ juga menggunakan sihir, yang dianggap kotor oleh anggota (gereja) lainnya. Karena hal inilah, mereka dipandang rendah oleh para Puritan, dan bahkan diusir keluar dari Canterbury, markas utama bagi para Puritan, ke katedral St. George ini.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tetapi setelah itu, ada banyak perubahan yang tidak mereka duga.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meskipun sebelumnya dianggap sebagai organisasi sampingan, ‘Necessarius’ telah melakukan banyak kontribusi dari belakang layar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hal ini memungkinkan ‘Necessarius’ untuk membangun profil dan kekuatan di dalam Gereja Puritan Inggris. Saat ini, meskipun nampak bahwa gereja puritan dijalankan oleh Katedral Canterbury, tetapi faktanya, kekuasaan pengambil keputusan sekarang telah berpindah ke katedral St. George.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maka, katedral ini, yang terletak agak jauh dari pusat Kota London, saat ini adalah inti dari Gereja Puritan Inggris yang besar. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stiyl Magnus si pendeta dengan rambut merah sedang berjalan di jalanan Kota London pagi itu, dengan penuh pertanyaan. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--&amp;quot;feeling extremely puzzled.&amp;quot; any better suggestion?--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Tidak ada yang aneh dengan jalanan itu sendiri. Terdapat apartemen-apartemen dari dinding batu yang telah berumur 300 tahun lebih, yang berjajar di kedua sisi jalan. Ada banyak pekerja kantoran dengan handphone di tangan mereka dan berjalan dengan cepat di jalanan tua itu. Bus bertingkat dua (double decker) berjalan maju secara perlahan dan para pekerja di jalanan yang sedang membongkar telepon umum tua yang tampak umum. Sebuah integrasi antara sejarah baru dan lama, tidak ada yang tidak biasa terjadi. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tidak ada yang salah dengan cuaca saat itu juga. Meskipun tidak ada awan di langit pagi ini, tapi cuaca berganti tiap kira-kira empat jam, maka tampak banyak orang yang membawa payung kemana-mana. Hari ini hari yang terasa panas, dan karena London juga dikenal dengan cuacanya yang berkabut, maka cuaca yang selalu berubah-ubah ini, adalah hal yang tidak dapat diremehkan. Karena meningkatnya kelembaban yang disebabkan hujan yang terus menerus , bersamaan dengan gelombang udara musim panas&amp;lt;!--Theres some typo in the english part, and I dunno what the trans mean. will re check later--&amp;gt;, menyebabkan temperatur yang tinggi. Sehingga, objek wisata yang tampaknya menarik ini tetap saja ada yang kekurangannya. Tetapi bagi orang seperti Stiyl, saat dia pertama kali memutuskan untuk tinggal di kota ini, dia telah mempertimbangkan kekurangan ini, maka ia sudah menerima hal ini.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yang membuatnya merasa resah adalah gadis di sampingnya.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Uskup agung...&amp;quot; &amp;lt;!-- XD definitely sounds odd though maybe I just put &#039;archbishop&#039; back--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- menurut gugel trenslet sih uskup agung, bhs indo emang rada susah cari padanan yg enak~--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- I&#039;ll be translating from english version, so I put this while translating~--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--&lt;br /&gt;
What makes Stiyl insecure is the girl beside him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Archbishop……”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hm? I purposely chose to wear such simple attire today, please refrain from calling me by that lofty title.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dressed in a beige robe, the girl, who looks 18, calmly spoke in Japanese. In fact, according to regulations, a clergyman’s attire can only have white, red, black, green or purple, with threads of gold for decorations, so this girl is secretly breaking the rules. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unfortunately, it seems that only she feels that as long as she puts these clothes on, she won’t be noticed in the crowd. Because with her crystal-white skin, clear blue eyes and shining golden hair--one won’t be surprised if it were sold in a gem shop, no matter the circumstances, she completely stands out from the surrounding crowd.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her hair is shockingly long. Her straight hair extends all the way to her ankles, folds up, goes behind the back of her head, through the large silver hairpin holding it in place, and down near her waist. In other words, the length of her hair is almost 2.5 times her height.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the morning in Lambeth, London, the world-famous din occurs, but around her, the voices feel like they’ve been suppressed, like they are in a solemn church where noise is not tolerated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Index_v07_013.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The archbishop of sector zero of the Puritan church, ‘Necessarius’.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laura Stuart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The king is the highest ranking leader of the Puritan church. Archbishop Laura is considered to be the courier of the king, and her responsibility is to……’Take over the busy king and control the British Puritanism.’&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Puritan church is like an age-old string instrument.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Beside the ‘owner’, there is also the ‘caretaker’. Take a violin for example. No matter how good a violin is, as long as it isn’t used for a while, the strings will be relaxed, and the sound post would be in a decrepit condition, causing it to not sound beautiful. Laura’s job is to perform in place of the owner, so that the violin can be maintained in a perfect state.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But, like the situation with the Cathedral of Canterbury and the St George Cathedral, the name and actual power has now been reversed. The real power now lies with Laura.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The archbishop, who has such a large amount of power, is now walking freely on the streets in the early morning, without even a single bodyguard near her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stiyl and Laura are now heading towards St George Cathedral. At first, it was Laura who suggested that Stiyl should meet her at the cathedral at this time. She was supposed to wait at the cathedral, and Stiyl was supposed to arrive.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I have my own home. And I’m not always stuck in that old church all year long.” Laura continued forward, not making any noise. &lt;br /&gt;
“Isn’t it fun to walk and talk?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Around them, the office workers are hurrying around. Because this place is close to Waterloo station, which is the largest station in London, for a nun or priest to be here, is not unusual for them. The number of churches in London is as big as the number of parks, although it cannot be compared to Rome.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Anyway, I’m okay with it. But did&#039;t you call me to the cathedral because you wanted to talk about something that outsiders are not supposed to hear?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Such a narrow-minded man, why worry too much about these minor things? Can’t you enjoy this time with me? Although a father who &lt;br /&gt;
hears a woman’s repentance gives a ‘relief’ feeling, why doesn’t he open his heart?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“……” Stiyl frowns, and asks, “Can I ask a question?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Do you have to be so cautious? Fire away.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Why does your Japanese sound so stupid?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“……?” (Note: In the original text, the author purposely uses something which sounds like old Japanese for Laura’s dialogue.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Archbishop of the Puritan church looked like someone who has been told that her shirt is buttoned wrongly. She initially froze, then her movements completely stopped. She then blushed, while saying:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ah……eh……? Is……is it strange? Isn’t ‘Japanese’ supposed to be like this?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Pardon me; I do not really understand what you’re trying to say. You’re trying to speak the ancient language, but it just doesn’t feel right.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The people around them, clad in western clothing, are probably unable to understand Japanese, but Laura feels that the commotion around her has now become laughter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ah……ehm……I learnt my Japanese from many sources, like literature and television programmes. I even asked a real Japanese for help before……”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Eh, may I know who that ‘real Japanese’ is?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Uh……that guy named Tsuchimikado Motoharu……”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Please don’t use that dangerous guy who lustfully lets his own step-sister wear a maid uniform as an ideal Japanese. Asia is not that fascinating, you know.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“To……to think there is such a thing……I must quickly correct my Japanese……oh no!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What’s wrong?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s……it’s difficult to change something that I’m so used to!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“……Don’t tell me you used such a stupid way of speaking to negotiate with the representatives from Academy City.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laura’s shoulders jumped, as she said &amp;quot;Do not... Do not worry, do not worry... No problem, no problem...&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, her voice is trembling, sweat appearing on her face, her eyes swimming around.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stiyl sighs, his breath full of cigarette smoke.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Anyway, let’s talk when we reach the cathedral.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The two turn around the corner. Kanzaki Kaori has secretly frequented the Japanese restaurant located there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Do……do we really have to talk about this!? I can’t possibly communicate with my Japanese!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Enough, let’s talk about the ‘proper business’, and not about this trivial stuff. If you aren’t confident in your Japanese, &lt;br /&gt;
we can still talk using English.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ri—ridiculous! Who said that I’m not confident! It’s……it’s just that…… my body condition today is rather bad!” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laura says, being at a loss. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“And regarding the proper business……before we start……”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From under the robe on her chest, Laura pulled something out, which looked like two pieces of notebook paper, as well as a black magic marker. As one who specialises in using runes, Stiyl immediately knew what she was going to use it for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Chiu chiu chiu~”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laura tries to imitate this strange sound made by the magic marker as she draws on the paper. On several important ceremonies, when Archbishop Laura stands in front of the crowd, she looks too noble to be even mortal. But now, the Archbishop is like a girl randomly doodling on her notebook in the middle of a lesson. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(If possible, I wish she could maintain that noble image.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stiyl thought, dangling his cigarette and frowning. He really didn’t like this sound.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu chiu~”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“……Excuse me, may I ask what you’re doing?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stiyl asks, gritting his teeth and slightly trembling.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although his temple has gone blue, Stiyl decided to remain patient.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Just a little precaution. Here.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laura drew the same image on the two pieces of paper, and gave one of them to Stiyl.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ah—ah—can you hear me?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stiyl feels that this voice just came from his mind. He turned to look at Laura, who’s small mouth did not move in the slightest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“……Is it a talisman for communication?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Our thoughts can be conveyed to each other without the need of speech.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hm.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stiyl looks at the card. It seems like Laura created these talismans because of his suggestion to not allow the people around them to eavesdrop.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Why does that voice in your heart speak so stupidly as well!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Eh? Wait……wait a minute, Stiyl! I’m now speaking in English!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although she wasn’t making any sound, Laura looked panicked, scaring the cat sprawling in front of the restaurant which wasn’t open yet. Stiyl sighed. The authority and magnanimity that an Archbishop should have is now all gone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Then there should be an error when the message is exchanged. Although it’s weird, it doesn’t affect our conversation. Let’s get down to proper business.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ah……Uu……ahem ahem, okay, let’s start.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It seems like Laura wanted to say something, but she swallowed it, and got to the main issue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Stiyl, have you heard of ‘The book of the Law’?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It’s a spellbook. If I remember correctly, the author is Edward Alexander.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Edward Alexander. Also known as Crowley.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some say that he is the most decorated magician in the 20th century, and some say he’s the worst magician in the 20th century. As his actions and demeanour exceeded everyone’s imagination and common sense, he was chased out of several countries. He manages to provoke the creative desire of several artists, but also manages to increase the hostility on him from all the magicians. A really legendary man. According to history, he died on 1st December 1947. Some even feel that the world that time was relieved when he died. This shows the number of controversies and problems that he caused.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When such a powerful magician dies, naturally, there will be people who will declare themselves as his disciple or heir. Up till today, the magic system that they created continues to cause headaches for the organisation which is specifically still targeting Crowley. And like other legends, the rumours that ‘he’s still alive’ continue to roam about.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“However, if I remember correctly, isn’t the original ‘Book of the Law’ still kept inside the library of the Vatican church in Rome?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to allow the girl called Index to memorise the 103,000 magical texts, Stiyl had accompanied her around the world to protect her. Although he did not see the contents, Stiyl is still able to remember where the 100 most famous texts are.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You’re right. From 1920 to 1932, Crowley was carrying out his activities on the island of Sicily in Italy. It is believed that &lt;br /&gt;
‘The book of the Law’ first appeared that time.” Laura spoke as if she’s reciting what she memorised in a history textbook. “Stiyl, do you know what makes this book special?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“……”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The characteristics of the book.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If we are to ignore the reliability first, regarding this work, there are several legends about it. Some believe that Crowley summoned the guardian angel Aiwass, learnt the ‘Angelic Technique’ that no human is able to use, and recorded it in ‘The book of the Law’. Some believe that when ‘The book of the Law’ is opened, the Christian age will end, and humanity will proceed on to a brand new age……For the former, an angel who doesn’t think is unable to teach humanity anything, but we’re rather concerned with the latter’s views. However……”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the British Puritan church, they assumed it to be a magical book containing many powerful spells.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But, on hearing it, one will wonder. Why is it an ‘assumption’?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Index should have memorised ‘The book of the Law’ already. So the reason is……&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I believe you know that nobody can understand this book? But this book is, although all the magical books are written in codes, still an exception. Even Index has given up on reading it, and Sherry Cromwell, who specialises in interpreting these codes, has failed to do so.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That’s right; no one is able to interpret ‘The book of the Law’. According to what Index said, based on our current limited knowledge, nobody is able to interpret it. So, she could only memorise all the undeciphered codes of ‘The book of the Law’ into her head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At this moment, Laura happily smiles, saying, “Then, if someone who can decipher ‘The book of the Law’ is to appear, what do you think are the consequences?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What are you talking about……!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stunned, Stiyl stares at Laura. She didn’t look like she was joking.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“There is a Roman Catholic nun by the name of Ursula Aquinas. However, she only knows how to decipher it, and has yet to read the contents.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What is going on?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Ursula seems to have found a way to decode it by reading the incomplete copies. Right now, she only has the index page, the preface, and several more pages.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The original copy of ‘The book of the Law’ is now strictly kept under security, so ordinary people shouldn’t be able to get their hands on it easily. Except for people like Index, it is dangerous for anyone else to read the original.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Right now……the Roman Catholic church is lacking in manpower due to a power struggle. They might try to use ‘The book of the Law’ to regain a foothold. These people probably view it as a blueprint of some new weapon……”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to reports, although the Roman Catholic Church is still the largest Christian sect in the world, the three thousand people who form the ‘Gregorian Chant’ have been defeated by the alchemist, and thus their power has weakened. In order to protect their place at the pinnacle of the Christian sect, it is possible that they will use the knowledge in ‘The book of the Law’ to design something to replace the ‘Gregorian Chant’ to replace the loss in their fighting power. This wouldn&#039;t be surprising.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No, they won’t use ‘The book of the Law’ to build up their fighting capability. At least in the short term, the Roman Catholic Church will not attack anyone for ‘The book of the Law’. You don’t have to worry about this.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Why?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hoho, it’s a secret! I’m not leaking it out.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seeing Laura speak with such confidence, Stiyl could not help but frown and think of the possibilities. Has the English Puritan church signed an agreement with the Roman Catholic church, banning the use of ‘The book of the Law’?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(……If so, why would the Roman Catholic Church use Ursula to decode ‘The book of the Law’?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Seeing your expression, it seems like you’re still unassured. Really, didn’t I tell you not to worry?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But then……”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Okay okay, stop nagging. Even if the Roman Catholic Church wants to use ‘The book of the Law’ for whatever purpose, they can’t do it now.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before Stiyl could even ask why, Laura had continued on:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Because ‘The book of the Law’ has been stolen by Ursula Aquinas.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What did you say……by whom!?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stiyl could not help but shout. The office workers around them heading towards the train station, upon hearing him shout, turn around to look at him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The work I want you to do after this would be your mission. The organisation, which did this criminal act, should be the Amakusa &lt;br /&gt;
Catholics in Japan.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Amakusa……” It’s a Christian sect in Japan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stiyl’s colleague, Kanzaki Kaori, used to be the leader of this sect. However, Stiyl himself does not consider it to be a Christian sect. The Amakusa Catholic Church is infused with too many aspects of Shintoism and Buddhism, the basis of the Christian faith is long gone now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The Amakusa Catholics is a lot smaller than the other religions in Rome, Britain, Russia and other countries. The reason why it is still able to exist is because of Kanzaki. Now, after having lost Kanzaki, their pillar of support, it isn’t unthinkable of them to steal ‘The book of the Law’ in order to gain new power. After all, ‘The book of the Law’ is capable of destroying the balance of the Christian religion.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If Ursula Aquinas and ‘The book of the Law’ would fall into the hands of the Amakusa Catholics, they could use it anytime. In fact, it would be weird if they wouldn&#039;t use it at all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“But!” Stiyl rudely exclaims, “Isn’t the ‘Book of the Law’ hidden in the depths of the Vatican library? For a small organisation like the Amakusa Catholics, who wishes for power, they can’t possibly have the capability to get inside! I was protecting Index as I entered the Vatican library, so I’m positive that there are no blind spots down there! The only thing that can describe it is an iron wall!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Actually, the “Book of the Law’ isn’t inside the Vatican library.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What?” Stiyl’s expression was blank.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A horse carriage used for sightseeing purposes passes by Stiyl as the horse neighs, the license plate hanging behind the carriage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“In order to organise an international exhibition, the Roman Catholic Church sent the ‘Book of the Law’ to the Japanese museum. &lt;br /&gt;
Like the Laterano Church in Rome, it is believed that the ‘Son of God’ bled while walking up the ‘Holy Path’. You should know why these things are being shown to the common people, don’t you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every few years, the Church will showcase important historical or biblical items to the public.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The reason is simple. These are the ‘tools’ to attract donations and believers. After losing their largest fighting force, the three thousand strong ‘Gregorian Chant’, the Roman Catholic Church must be trying to strengthen itself through as many ways as possible, including the development of new spells and training of its members.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is most effective to recruit these ‘new believers’ in places where there are few Christians. Because of this, Japan is the perfect target. But because there are few believers, the support that the Church can give to Japan is much less now. Seems like the Amakusa Catholics have timed this well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“This is stupid……bringing such a dangerous thing and showing it to the world, even losing it in the process. The Roman Catholic Church has really disgraced our Christians.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hoho, I believe the Roman Catholics should have a deeper understanding than us. Although they got a geographical advantage now, but for an item of the Roman Catholic Church to be stolen by a small sect in the Far East, I guess it means that they’re discredited.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Haiz, does this mean that they are asking us for help?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“No, those guys want to settle this their own way. I really worked hard to get this information. To them, this may be a sort of saving grace, but I really want to scold those guys, and tell them ‘Not to dream on anymore’.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hm? Does this mean that we aren’t getting the ‘Book of the Law’ and Ursula back for the sake of the Roman Catholics?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“They aren’t spilling the beans, but if Ursula Aquinas can really decipher the ‘Book of the Law’, we’re involved in this one way or another.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“……You’re trying to do them a favour? Do you think that those ‘noble clergymen’ even understand the act of repaying a good deed?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stiyl said with disdain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Stiyl’s impression, maybe it’s because they once controlled Europe entirely, the Roman Catholics—of course, besides the believers who never known about magic—are rather arrogant. Especially those stubborn hard-liner priests and bishops. Forget about going against them, even if one tries to help them, they would snobbishly say, “We’re not so pitiful so as to accept any assistance.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I have no intention of helping those guys who corrupt the Church and cause splinters in it. However, we have a much bigger problem.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Kanzaki Kaori is missing.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Laura spoke succinctly, Stiyl immediately turned around.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kanzaki was originally the leader of the Amakusa sect. Now, although she has already left Amakusa, she still cares for it. Once knowing that they have caused such a problem, and are now in conflict with the Roman Catholic Church, the largest Christian sect in the world with 2 billion believers, how would she respond?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kanzaki is a saint, one of less than 20 people in the world who possess the &#039;Stigma&#039;. The power that she has is almost equivalent to that of a nuclear bomb. If she leaves the control of the British Puritan Church, and directly attacks the Roman Catholics, what consequences will there be…...?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Knowing her, she’ll do anything. It would be okay if it was an ordinary person, but with her power……”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laura sighs heavily.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I hope that you can clean up the mess before Kanzaki does something seriously bad. This is your main priority. I don’t care what you do, whether it is saving the ‘Book of the Law’ or Ursula, telling Amakusa to surrender, or forcing Amakusa or Kanzaki to surrender.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You’re telling me to beat Kanzaki?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“If there is such a need.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laura clearly and forcefully says, “Once our members are done with their missions, I’ll be sending them to Japan and Rome. However, I hope that you will do this on your own. Go to Academy City first.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As if he’s spitting his doubts out, Stiyl blows the white smoke of the cigarette out of his mouth. He’s not worried about having to do this alone, but the magician Stiyl just isn’t suited for working in a team. Besides the character flaws, the flame magic he uses is a huge problem. If he’s not careful and uses his full power, his comrades around him might end up swallowed in flames and smoke.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His ‘Innocentius’ becomes stronger the more runes there are. Although unreliable, but the power cannot be belittled. The 3,000 degree Celsius fire can freely move about. To pursue its enemies, it can even easily melt iron. To the enemies, it is like a god of death. And beside that boy’s right hand, there is almost no other way to stop ‘Innocentius’. Using this terrifying magic, Stiyl has destroyed several magical societies on his own several times.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, working alone is not a problem. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Isn’t this a problem on the Church’s side? Why bring in the Science side?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Index.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laura said a person’s……no, a tool’s name.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Since it concerns a magic book……especially the original ‘Book of the Law’, we need all the technical knowledge. I have discussed it with Academy City, and so you can bring ‘that’ around. But there is one condition, and that is to bring the guardian along.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“……”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“What now? It’s rare to work together with ‘that’, why are you so unhappy?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Nothing.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stiyl seemed to have suppressed many feelings within him, the expression on his face suddenly vanishes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“……That guardian, is it that Imagine Breaker?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“That’s right. You should be able to make use of him. Oh, don’t kill him though, since he’s borrowed property.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Bringing people from Academy City into a battle between magicians, would there be a problem?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Regarding this, we can settle this with a few tricks. Of course, the conditions that the other party gave us are unavoidable, and I don’t have the time to negotiate with them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I……see.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stiyl couldn&#039;t understand how the leaders of Academy City are thinking, nor could he understand what Laura, who was standing right beside him, is thinking. Maybe they carried out a few deals underwater. Anyway, these aren’t things that a minion like Stiyl should interfere in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh, Stiyl, bring this along.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laura pulls out a small cross necklace from the sleeve of her simple robe, and tosses it to Stiyl. Stiyl catches this symbol of belief with one hand, and asks,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“A tool? Although it does not seem to be enhanced by any magic.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Just a little present for Ursula Aquinas. If you meet her, immediately find the opportunity to give it to her.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stiyl did not understand what this meant, and Laura had no intention of explaining. This is a “Don’t ask, just do as I say.” scenario.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At this moment, the two stopped.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Walking for ten minutes from the extremely large London train station, a Church which doesn’t seem to have the right to be called a ‘Cathedral’ is in front of them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
St George Cathedral. A dark holy city filled with a terrible history of witch hunting, religious trials and even the famous Frenchwoman Joan of Arc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Walking in front of Stiyl, Laura grabs the handle of the heavy door.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Okay.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laura pushes the two heavy doors aside, and invites the priest in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She does not use her rune card this time, but opens her small, peach-like mouth, and speaks in a clear voice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Regarding the details, we’ll talk about it inside.”--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
