Editing Toaru Majutsu no Index:Mental Out SS (section)

===Part 13===

The real Shokuhou Misaki took the pointy-haired boy’s arm and stuck out her tongue.

She was safe as long as she had him.

She had a baseless confidence in that.

Of course, Kamijou Touma probably didn’t know a single thing about this case.

The Level 0 would have been oblivious to the telepathy flying back and forth beneath the surface. In that final moment, he hadn’t even been aware of the deadly Mind Anaphylaxis that Otonari Hibiku had launched at Shokuhou Misaki.

But none of that mattered.

Any supernatural power that contacted his right hand would be negated, no matter how brutal it might be.

That was how Kamijou Touma’s Imagine Breaker worked.

(Knowing him, this never could have happened by chance or as a lucky fluke.)

Shokuhou Misaki was certain of that.

She had been close enough to him to know the effective range of his right hand and to understand just how thoroughly misfortune plagued him.

(Which means this luck must have been mine while I shine as bright as Yang Guifei or Elizabeth I.)

A situation much like this one had failed in the past.

Kamijou Touma had pushed himself too far protecting the girl and suffered irreparable damage.

The brain damage he received ''prevented him from remembering Shokuhou Misaki’s name or what she looked like.'' The relationship they had up until then had crumbled away.

She knew that.

But even so.

Shokuhou Misaki couldn’t help but smile.

She made sure no one else would notice.

And she relished this moment.

(There really is nothing like having a boy protect you☆)

He had been her prince from the beginning.

There was no need for a fairy’s love potion applied to her eyelids so she would fall in love with whoever she saw first.
