On a bus containing a group of nuns that heading to Academy City.
"Agnese, are you sure that Orsola is a heretic? Because I'm absolutely sure she's just a careless nun whose hobby is reading and her job is translating ancient texts that are difficult to understand. And hier character does not indicate that she is someone who is heretical at all."
Lucia, one of the fighting nuns of the Agnese Forces, is a close friend of Orsola. And currently she felt great doubts about the orders given by the Vatican to the Agnese Forces.
Especially with Agnese's insistence, who seemed eager to capture and slaughter Orsola.
Of course, Lucia, as Orsola's friend, would never allow her best friend to be slaughtered for reasons that didn't make sense to her.
"Lucia, I know that you are Orsola's best friend, but in this case I want you to put aside your friendship with Orsola and prioritize your obligations and duties as part of my group. As part of the Agnese Forces, you must not get carried away with your feelings. Because as fighting nuns of the Vatican it is our duty to punish our members who become heretics like Orsola."
Agnese Sanctic tried hard to brainwash Lucia, who was Orsola's best friend. So she can use Lucia to help her catch Orsola, but Agnese is well aware that brainwashing Lucia is not something that is easy to do. That's why Agnese brainwashed Lucia slowly and in a gentle way so that Lucia wouldn't feel suspicious of herself.
But Agnese underestimated Lucia, because Lucia was already aware of what Agnese wanted to do to her.
"I know leader, I know, but at least if I meet Orsola, allow me to at least talk to Orsola for a moment. To ask her whether she has really gone astray or not," Lucia said with a sad face. "After all, the rules state that we can't arrest Orsola until we find proper evidence as to whether she is truly a heretic or not."
"Your friend Orsola Aquinas is trying to translate a forbidden grimoire!" Agnese shouted. "What more evidence do we need to arrest her!"
"Leader, there is no clear evidence that he actually translated the Book of Law," Lucia said, who looked angry when she heard Agnese's slander. "Moreover, nowadays translations of the Book of Law can be obtained easily on the internet. Orsola doesn't need to bother translating the book because the translation already exists. "Your accusations against Orsola seem to me more like hate speech that has no clear reason at all."
"Tch, whatever," Agnese said, who couldn't refute Lucia's words at all. "But I warn you Lucia, I hope you will not regret the decision you have taken in this case. Because I am one hundred percent sure that Orsola is heretical and has translated the Book of Law which is a forbidden grimoire. Now you and Angelene should get ready to welcome the Neccesarius members who will help us in this case. "Because now the bus we are on has almost arrived at our destination."
Agnese left Lucia and went to the front of the bus. And Lucia felt relieved because Agnese was gone, Lucia felt confused as to why a girl younger than herself like Agnese could be chosen as team leader and form her own group. Whereas for Lucia, Agnese is a young girl who carries out her duties carrying her personal feelings even though Agnese herself told Lucia that she should not be carried away by her feelings when carrying out her duties.

Yuragi Sou at the same time that Agnese and Lucia were arguing.
"So Chitose-Sama, how come there are members of the Vatican sleeping in one of the empty rooms that I want to clean together with Index?" Asked Kaori who looked a little angry at Chitose because there was someone from the enemy side in Yuragi Sou. "And if I remember correctly the girl's name is Orsola Aquinas. A talented translator who has translated many Grimoires."
"The girl with super large breasts is quite famous for her contributions to the translation of ancient texts," Index said. "But why is she at this inn Chitose-Sama?"
"The Vatican and most likely the Necessarius, are pursuing her for reasons that I don't yet know clearly. That's why Orsola-chan asked for help from the Amakusa church that you left to protect her. But because she probably also felt suspicious about the Amakusa Church, that's why she ran away until she was found by Touma-san and brought here," Chitose answered.
"Orsola-chan, my adopted daughter, is really unfortunate, because she has to experience hardship from the church that she have faith on it all this time. Orsola-chan should just stay here with me! But she still insisted on staying at the Vatican because she said becoming a nun was her dream."
"Eeeeh Orsola Aquinas is your adopted daughter, Chitose-Sama!" Index and Kaori shouted at the same time. "How could something like that happen!"
"Because of various things that would be too long if I told you, Orsola-chan became my and Hiko-kun's adopted daughter," Chitose said with a smile when she remembered how sweet Orsola was when she adopted her as her daughter. "Ahhn Orsola-chan is really a sweet child. And before you two ask how Touma-san could find her, it's all because my husband, has installed some kind of alarm on Orsola-chan's body which will notify me or Hiko-kun if Orsola -chan is in danger. That's why Touma-san was able to help Orsola-chan in time."

"Chitose-san as well as Index and Kaori were having a conversation that I couldn't hear at all," Mikoto said, who had just returned from the judging office together with Kotori. "Do you know how the three of them can carry on a conversation with each other without hearing a sound, Kotori-chan?"
"Chitose-san activated the anti-eavesdropping feature that grandfather created in this inn. That's why you can't hear anything Mikoto-san, and if Chitose-san has activated that feature, it means Chitose-san doesn't want the conversation she is having with Index and Kaori to be heard by anyone other than the three of them," Kotori answered while licking the lollipop she was holding and just opened. "Yeah, but I can tell what the two of them are talking about. By reading the lips of the three of them."
"You can read lips?" Mikoto said whose mouth was agape when she heard that Kotori could read someone's lips. "Are that kind of thing is very difficult to do and learn. You're truly amazing Kotori-chan to be able to master such a difficult thing. I'm not sure if I can master reading lips myself."
"Indeed, mastering how to read lips is not easy and requires a lot of training and practice. But such a thing is not as amazing as you think, Mikoto-san," Kotori said while taking a deep breath. "Onii-chan, Shizuka-san, Motoharu, and Kirika have also mastered this ability. If you want, I will teach you how to read someone's lips."
"I want to learn that kind of ability," Mikoto said. "But how long will it take for you or Touma-kun to master that ability?"
"It took me about three years to master the lip reading technique," Kotori answered. "And Onii-chan only took a month."
