Welcome.

I'm kinda dissatisfied on the ending from NT10 so i decide to make my own version. Pardon my poor grammar/sentence structures

Disclaimer :

I do not own Toaru Majutsu no Index and anything related to the franchise.

She looked happy.

She looked truly happy.

"But you don't have to worry."

He heard a cracking noise.

It was a very quiet noise.

"I was..."

Suddenly Kamijou Touma opened his eyes, showing that he has awakened from his deep sleep. When he looked around, he recognized the room he was in as his usual hospital room in Academy City, and apparentely it was already midnight when he looked on the window. He noticed that several medical equipments attached to his limbs, produced a scenery similar to forbidden human experiments just like in thriller movies.

Seeing that he could do nothing about his current conditions, he just sighed and decided to recall the events that lead him to this horrible conditions.

He had decided to protect the life and smile of a single girl, even if it means fighting the entire world.

He had deceived his former allies for that girl.

He had negotiated with their enemies for that girl.

He had been crushed,smashed and wrecked for that girl.

And now, she's...

("Othinus...")

Kamijou stared blankly at the ceiling.

("Did i manage to save you ?")

A bitter feeling pressed his chest.

("Did i manage to return your smile in the end ?")

He remembered when Othinus was smiled genuinely to him at her final moments. Now that his goal was completed, he should be happy about that by now.

("Your timing was really bad huh, Othinus...smiled like that when you were about to disappear.")

His face shouldn't be wet with tears by now.

("It's not fair...")

At a certain place on Earth, a strange phenomenon was occured beneath the night sky decorated with aurora. Thousands of white crystals were slowly gathered in the snowy ground, and condensed into a single entity. That entity took the form of a girl with bright golden hair with a witch hat on her head and a peculiar eyepatch on the right eye. Her body was barely covered with a strange attire with a black cape covered her back.

She's known as Magic God Othinus by the world.

"I'm... still alive ?"

When that girl carefully examined her own body, a black cat slowly approached her from behind.

"...What is the meaning of this ?"

That girl spat out those words without looking at her back. If someone saw this scene, they might think that she was some sort a chuunibyou that pretending to be able to talk with cats.

But she knew that it wasn't an ordinary cat.

"Ara, you should be grateful that we decided to allow you to stay in this world."

"And why you bastards did something like that ? You know that i-"

"Don't misunderstand us, failure."

That line strucked her quiet. Then the cat continued speaking.

"You are brought back for the sake of a single boy that you know so well."

Suddenly a raging thought filled her mind, but she kept her composed attitude.

"And may i ask you bastards about how is he related to your plans ?"

"A failure Magic God doesn't need to know the details."

She was strucked in silence once again. And with an instant she realized that she couldn't feel her power anymore.

"Well technically you're still a magic god, but that's it. Your almighty powers are as good as gone."

"I don't care."

The cat was silent for a while, then slowly moved its jaw again.

"While your existence is worthless for us, you and that boy have formed a bond that so strong yet fragile at the same time. We can't afford him to stray from his path just because of you."

She slightly confused when she heard that, but decided to keep her mouth shut.

"So, what we actually want to say is that now you have a chance to protect him from us or you could even consider this as a chance to reunite with your beloved boy, or whatever. The most important thing is now you realized that his life is far from the peace that you wanted so much, you can't possibly decide to kill yourself or distance yourself from him, right ?"

"..."

Although the cat's expression was stoic and flat, she could felt a huge grin and intense threat from it. Othinus is a type of girl who always ignored every threat that aimed for her, but whenever it's about a certain boy, she would grow anxious and tense about it.

"Alright, now it's time to end this conversation. By the way we're sorry that we brought you at a place that a bit too far from Japan. But we're sure that you could find your way. Good luck, failure."

As soon as it finished its words, that cat was fell unconscious to the ground. Othinus was sitting in silent for a bit, then sighed and stood up while staring at the aurora on the clear night sky.

("Those bastards are trying to pull something disastrous here. As expected from a bunch of lunatic gods that no different from me")

But then a smile appeared on her face along with her cold breath.

("And i hate how they were right about me wanting to see that human again.")

Suddenly a flash of her final moments with that boy occupied her mind. She told him that he already achieved his objective of making her smile again. She told him that she was grateful with his actions to save her.

("Honestly, even after i accepted my fate, you still insist to save someone like me.")

("...I guess i have to play along with their scheme for now.")

"Then..."

When Othinus was deeply indulged in her own thoughts, suddenly she noticed something from the trees on her back.

"How about you come here and show yourself, Thor ?"

In an instant, a figure was appeared from behind the trees and revealed its golden long hair.

"Aahh, i really can't hide myself from you, huh ?"

The golden-haired man, Thor walked casually toward Othinus.

"I thought you're really dead, you know. I still remember when Kamijou-chan had a devastated expression on his face when you were vanished."

The mention of that human's name silenced Othinus.

"But now, i'm real~ly excited by knowing that there are other ridiculous beings just like you ."

"Huh, still obssesed with your experience quests ? You couldn't even defeat me."

"Ckckck, you're wrong Othinus. Godly beings like you and them must have some ridiculous 'helpers' as well." Said Thor while swinging his index finger.

"What makes you think that ?"

"It's simple, if they are truly godly beings, then they must be living in another phase since no one noticed their presence in this world and you shouldn't be able to erase a phase that has your kind inside. And that black cat over there just proved that they need some 'helpers' to observe this world."

"...".

"Well, it's just my wishful & unfounded theory. You don't need to say anything about it."

"Tch, so what do you want right now ? Trying to interrogate me forcefully?" Othinus clicked her tongue in annoyance while Thor just smiled to respond her.

"Hey Othinus, why don't we make a deal ?"

In the morning on a certain hospital, a frog-faced doctor checked his most frequent patient.

"When i was informed that you were fighting again on Denmark. I prepared your room and all these medical equipments. So be grateful that you're still alive now."

"I-is my condition really that... bad ?"

"Your body was beyond salvation if this is a normal hospital outside Academy City."

"Ahaha..."

Kamijou was lucky enough to get an excellent doctor like him, but also unfortunate enough to met such a doctor in the first place.

"If you keep this up, perhaps we should reserve this room only for you from now on."

"T-thank you but i think i don't need that kind of service..."

"Oh come on, you could even arrange the nurses you would like to see as well."

"Your sarcasm is damaging this Kamijou-san more than that Saint attacks."

"Saint ?"

"No-nothing, i'm just talking to myself."

The conversation just proved how frequent Kamijou Touma was sent to the hospital.
