Editing Toaru Majutsu no Index:GT Volume15 Chapter4 (section)

===Part 10===

As he threw and took punches, even his sense of pain faded into a general sense of heat.

Red drops scattered through the spaceship like jewels.

But Kamijou kept working his woozy mind.

…Hamazura might want him to apologize. He might want Kamijou to cry and wail that killing Coronzon had been a mistake.

But if so…

“I’m not apologizing.”

Kamijou said it.

Clearly and in his own words.

“If there had been any other way, I wouldn’t have done it in the first place!! Great Demon Coronzon was a true nemesis who would have destroyed the entire world all on her own. She showed no mercy or weakness. I wouldn’t take someone’s life unless I absolutely had to!!!”

That ending was a bitter pill to swallow, wasn’t it?

So he wouldn’t let this boy reach the same ending as Coronzon.

Even if it meant hitting him. Even if it meant being hit by him.

He would stop him even if it meant not playing fair and being hated.

He would save Hamazura here!!

“Yeah, right…”

A splitting sound came from terribly close by.

Equally battered Hamazura had bit into his lip with his canine tooth.

His anger had passed its limit.

“If you really, truly felt bad about killing Coronzon, you’d stop clinging to your pathetic life and just go to hell already!!”

Kamijou accepted the words along with a tightly clenched fist.

In a world that tasted so much of iron, Kamijou actually smiled a little.

“I already know all about hell. And I know it’s where I belong.”

Which was why he had decided he wouldn’t let Hamazura go there.

If he had done the right thing…

If he hadn’t been wrong to kill Coronzon to save the world, then Kamijou would be able to crawl back out of hell even if he wound up there.

But…



“This time I’ll do it without sacrificing Kingsford and CRC.”



He didn’t need to doubt himself.

Kamijou Touma threw his fist.
