Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki.

Tsuchimikado Motoharu patted his head, his lips twitching involuntarily, but he quickly nodded in agreement.

"That's great, I think it's a good idea too. I'll be in charge of coordinating with the lady on the wedding boat, meow."

He knew he would definitely face a lot of trouble later, after all, this was an entire mech unit.

Even in Academy City, creating such a force would require a huge amount of resources. Even if Shiogishi were to die, there would still be other radical factions within the Council, making him a troublesome figure.

But he really didn't dare to refuse.

After learning of Shiogi's death and seeing the magic army in front of him that could overthrow a country, Tsuchimikado Motoharu realized that his junior was no ordinary person, and that he might very well be killed if he wasn't careful.

"Alright, stop looking so gloomy. This mage unit is enough for you to report back."

"Don't forget, I took the Right Seat of God, and I also crippled this army."

Seeing Tsuchimikado Motoharu's state, Haramura Makoto casually uttered those words.

It's important to understand that Makoto Haramura didn't directly kill these 333 monks; rather, he severely injured them. These monks can be healed, so they can be brought to the negotiating table.

If these monks were to die, the Roman Catholic Church might indeed abandon them.

However, since these monks did not die, the Roman Catholic Church could not easily abandon them, and the Anglican Church could reap a great benefit.

Whether these monks are returned to the Roman Catholic Church or directly incorporated into its ranks.

Whether it's Academy City or the British Puritans, they've already benefited greatly from him and have no right to say anything more in front of him.

"Even though I chose to join this operation myself, that doesn't mean I'm allowing them to get something for nothing, understand?"

Ignoring Tsuchimikado Motoharu's mocking smile at those words, Haramura Makoto left on his own.

Seeing this, Wuhe quickly followed.

Exhausted, Touma Kamijou sighed softly and then collapsed onto the ground.

"What a misfortune..."

Despite having no connection to him, he came to France and, in an effort to stop the war, Mr. Kamijou's body became broken and tattered, and he was still so unfortunate.

It was on this day that the various riots surrounding Academy City that had engulfed the world seemed to ease somewhat.

Although the Roman Catholic Church has no intention of appeasing the situation, the tensions that have spread throughout the world are indeed gradually decreasing.

Conflicts still exist between Academy City and the Roman Catholic Church.

It was still an explosive device in the process of ignition, but the fuse had been temporarily extinguished with water, and it could be reignited at any time.

Shortly after Academy City and Makoto Haramura's group evacuated from this place, in front of the still not completely dried-up corpses on the left side of the land.

"call……"

Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew by, and the head that lay dead on the left was blown about, rolling towards the stiff body on the left.

"Boom boom——!"

Just then, from the primordial sky, a sound breaking the sound barrier gradually came from afar.

Immediately, a figure landed on the ground not far to the left, kicking up a cloud of pebbles.

He was a man wearing a blue golf outfit over a white short-sleeved T-shirt. His hair was brown, his skin was fair, and he had very distinct European features. His face was sculpted like a stone carving, and he was quite strong and robust. He exuded a very calm and composed aura.

He looked at Zuo Fangdi lying in a pool of blood, his eyes wide open, his face filled with terror and despair, and fell silent.

After a long while, the man took out his phone from his pocket and dialed a number.

"The water from the rear?"

A mature and steady voice came from the other end of the phone.

Indeed, this man is a member of the Right Seat of God in the Roman Catholic Church, in charge of water, blue, the moon, and the water behind.

The voice on the other end of the phone was that of the Pope.

In response to this voice, the water behind him spoke softly.

"The land on the left is dead."

For a moment, the Pope was at a loss for words and fell silent.

The death of the Left Seat and the Right Seat of God was truly beyond his expectations and beyond his imagination.

The water behind did not speak again, but simply waited quietly for the Pope's response.

A long time passed before the Pope's sigh finally came through the phone.

"It seems our Lord enjoys giving us trials."

Before the war even began, the Right Seat of God, the strongest fighting force of the Roman Catholic Church and the ultimate weapon of the Cross, lost a member.

However, the water behind seemed to think otherwise, and simply spoke coldly.

"Even if Zuo Fangdi isn't killed, I'll take care of him sooner or later."

That chilling tone was definitely not a joke; Houfangzhishui truly harbored murderous intent towards his colleague.

“Even young children can be used as material for adjusting spells; there are no servants on the left who call themselves the Lord.”

The Pope fell silent once again.

The meaning is quite clear: the Pope did not express his own opinion, but he did agree with the statement made by the Water in the Rear.

The other three members of the Right Seat of God are all mentally ill; their worldviews are different from those of normal humans.

Only the man behind him was a normal person who held the Pope in high esteem. His noble and upright conduct, like that of a knight, also earned the Pope's respect.

Therefore, for such a rear-facing waterway, the land to the left is a completely crooked and evil path.

After learning that the Left Land was using young children as materials to adjust its spells, the Rear Water had already made up its mind to eliminate this crooked and evil practice.

Unfortunately, document C could not be found.

The water behind expresses this view.

"We must consider the worst-case scenario."

"But at the same time, we cannot give up the search for document C."

"The C document is more than just a spiritual garment for the Roman Orthodox Church."

The Pope spoke calmly, then sighed.

"Water in the rear, I might need to trouble you to make a trip to Academy City."

Chapter 357 Self-defeating

"It seems we've made a mess of things, Lord Haramura."

In the car, Gowa sat next to Haramura Makoto, holding a tablet in her hand. The tablet displayed a message sent to her by the Amakusa-style Cross Retreat.

"What happened? What's going on?"

Makoto Haramura stared at the receding scenery outside the window, seemingly lost in thought.

The matter is over, and Haramura Makoto and his two companions should have been able to return to Academy City on their own.

It was not necessary for Itsuki to come to Academy City, but it seems that Makoto Haramura's words to Motoharu Tsuchimikado led the Archbishop of the Anglican Church to make some judgments and temporarily assign Itsuki a task to come to Academy City.

"That's right, news has come from the Anglican Church in England that the Russian Protestant Church and the Roman Catholic Church have now formally formed a defensive alliance."

"It seems that the alliance between Academy City and the British Puritan Church has spurred the Russian Protestant Church, which was originally prepared to remain on the sidelines."

When Wu and Yi said this, he probably understood what it meant.

The plan of the C document has been completely thwarted by Makoto Haramura, and the Roman Catholic Church must now consider the issue of combat strength.

Now that things have come to this point, a showdown between Academy City and the Roman Catholic Church is inevitable.

Academy City is the headquarters of the science faction, possessing all of its combat power.

The Roman Catholic Church is the greatest power in the magical realm, with nearly two billion followers worldwide.

The Roman Catholic Church originally considered Academy City to be superior because of its superior organization, the Right Seat of God. However, now that an esper capable of killing the Right Seat of God has appeared in Academy City, the Roman Catholic Church has felt an imbalance in its combat power.

However, if we're really talking about it now, their fighting strength is about evenly matched.

However, the science side is not just Academy City. We had already vaguely sensed this before, and now with the appearance of Makoto Haramura and the mecha unit, it can be confirmed that Academy City is colluding with the Anglican Church.

Therefore, in order to maintain a balance of power, the Roman Catholic Church had to bring the last branch of Christianity, Russian Orthodoxy, into its camp.

At the same time, the timing of this C document was such that the Russian Catholic Church could determine it on its own without the Roman Catholic Church informing them.

In this way, the Roman Catholic Church can openly and honestly tell the other party.

If the Roman Catholic Church is destroyed by the Anglican Church and Academy City, the original tripartite balance of power between the Roman Catholic Church, Russian Orthodoxy, and Anglican Church in the magical world will be broken. Whether the Russian Orthodoxy will become the next Roman Catholic Church and attempt to dominate the entire Christian faith remains to be seen.

Russian adult education can no longer remain uninvolved.

The Russian Confederation's original plan to remain neutral and gain benefits from the war was shattered, since the victory of Academy City would only bring them harm and no benefit whatsoever.

Therefore, under these circumstances, it is quite normal for the Russian Orthodox Church to join the Roman Catholic Church after assessing the situation.

"What a bunch of idiots."

Makoto Haramura scoffed.

To be honest, what kind of Russian Catholicism do you have that you dare to ally with the Roman Catholic Church?

Unless the Roman Catholic Church completely loses power in this war, it will seize the opportunity to completely annex the Russian Orthodox Church, regardless of whether it wins or loses.

"That's it."

The car slowly came to a stop at a five-star hotel not far from Cai Ren Gong Fang.

"Um, this...this has my contact information. Please feel free to let me know if you need anything."

As it stepped out of the car, Itsuki bowed deeply to Haramura Makoto at a perfect 30-degree angle, as if begging him to accept the gift.

If the general refused, Itsuki would probably burst into tears, so Haramura Makoto smiled and took out his phone from his pocket and handed it to Itsuki.

"Save your contact information here."

……

— "A building without windows".

This is a building located in the 7th school district.

In Academy City, this building may not be the largest, but it is definitely the most peculiar.

Just like its name suggests, this is a building without windows, doors, or stairs, as if it were two completely isolated worlds, making it impossible to go out from inside or come in from the outside.

This is also one of the urban legends of Academy City.

However, this building is actually the residence of the chairman of the Academy City General Council.

The chairman, who leads the twelve council members and controls all the power in Academy City, resides in this place.

Getting in here isn't something you can do by ordinary means.

It should be noted that when this building was first constructed, the specifications were set so that even if a nuclear bomb were to fall from the center, it would not be able to shake the building in the slightest.

Therefore, the only way to enter this building is for someone with spatial abilities to use spatial teleportation to bring them in.

Makoto Haramura, who had been there once before, knew the way well.

The pitch-black vortex slowly unfolded, and Makoto Haramura once again stood in this terrifyingly silent space.

The surrounding area was full of pipes and instruments.

In the very center is a huge glass test tube filled with red liquid.

Soaking in the medicinal solution was still that man in green surgical scrubs, calm as if he were a monster.

Looking at the man, Makoto Haramura stared for a moment, then the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"Long time no see, Aleister."

Aleister slowly opened his eyes, his gaze fixed on Makoto Haramura, and a mechanical voice rang out.

"It wasn't a long time, just a mere two months."

"But you seem to be much more confident now. Is it because your abilities have grown that you've gained confidence?"

Actually, Aresta was not wrong.

When he first met Aleister, he found it difficult to describe his feelings with adjectives.
