Toaru Majutsu no Index:Item4 Epilogue
Epilogue: Thornless Villains[edit]
“Yes! We’re finally heading back to Academy City now, right? I made it in time for the Daihaseisai. I might actually be able to see my sister competing in her gym clothes… Wait for me, Japanese bloomers!! Actually, in the end, I also want to go around having some fun in Yokohama since we’re already here!”
“How do you super have so much energy left after being hunted for so long?”
“Frenda. How about we grab something to eat in Chinatown and walk around there?”
“I already went there.”
“Eh? You super went there without us!? No fair!!”
“Will the Mugino Family really be safe? When he was talking about the boss of Academy City, he meant the Board Director, right? And he threatened him? I hope the Family doesn’t end up broken up by all sorts of forces both legitimate and illegitimate.”
“They’re a grain production corporation that fills the stomachs of 1.4 billion people worldwide. In the end, putting them out of business would cause a significant percentage of the world population to starve to death. And if you include the indirect fighting over food, it could even spark an endless war covering the entire planet.”
“They might have some ups and downs, but I doubt the Mugino Family will entirely go away, Kinuhata.”
“Oh, right. In the end, what do we do about the Two Wings wreckage?”
“Yeah, Mugino shot down a ton of them and they’re super scattered across the mountain.”
“Kinuhata. I think a grownup organization will retrieve them. The Hound Dogs, Spark Signal – there are plenty of options. We don’t have to worry about it.”
“There’s the south gate. In the end, I can see it.”
“It really is just in the mountains, isn’t it? It’s super nothing like the east gate near Shinjuku.”
“Gwahhh!! I didn’t get a chance to have any fun in Shinjuku at all! I only managed to visit this really tasty set meal restaurant with taxis all around it!!”
“Takitsubo-san, can I go ahead and super punch her just once? She caused us so much trouble while she was going around enjoying the food!!”
“You could dent in her skull if you aren’t careful, so no. And we’ll have a chance to visit Yokohama and Shinjuku again as long as we stay alive.”
“Right, Mugino?”
“…Oh, shut up.”
The heavy gate closed with a “thud!!”
All four Item members had returned to the city of cutting-edge science.
