Chapter 58: Mental Illness is Not a Nervous Disease

  For how long he had been spacing out, Akuto Sai finally returned to reality with a loud and drawn-out scream from the neighboring hospital room. Without thinking, he knew that the person who could so skillfully use infrasound and false notes to produce such a scream was none other than Kamijou Touma, who must have incorporated screaming into his daily life in order to practice it.

  Driven by human nature's gossip and envy, Kei Shirogane swiftly picked up his phone and opened the camera function, rushing into Toga Himiko's hospital room like a whirlwind. Before Intika could "spill the beans" to Toga, Kei was like Mr. Chen possessing her, flashing his phone in every corner of the room. He finally managed to take several photos that would easily spark ambiguous fantasies on his phone before the two reacted.

  Kya kya kya... Touma Kamijou, with these photos in hand, you'll never be able to shake off the pervert crime of being a lolicon for the rest of your life. From now on, what awaits you is the endless terror of FFF team members' attacks!

  Although Kamijou Touma's brain had lost its memories of Index, the malice emanating from her at this moment, which was almost condensing into a black gas, made his mouth react faster than his brain.

  "Stop it! You're clearly infringing on someone's portrait rights with this behavior. Are you a paparazzo for Entertainment Daily?"

  "Your mouth reacted before your brain, Kishimoto. Should I say you're worthy of being the brother of flesh? At this rate, Billiken will be your final destination." Interspersed with a faintly protective tone, as if guarding some crucial evidence of a major crime, he carefully put his phone in his pocket and then spoke to Kamijou Touma as if nothing had happened.

  "Hmph, you're a big idiot, super big idiot!" With that, Kamachi Touma jumped out of bed and made a cute face at Kamijou Touma before running out of the hospital room with a huff.

  "Lolicon, your drool is about to drip down."

  "Shut up, or you'll be the one who's left with nothing!" Still staring at the figure of Intikus leaving the hospital room, Ushiro no Tsubasa hadn't yet come back to his senses, and subconsciously wiped the corner of his mouth before reacting in anger and retorting against Kaito.

  "But, I have even more important evidence in my hands, as they say, with pictures and truth. If I were to hand them over to the police uncle, what would happen? Maybe I'd receive a 'Protection of Natural Lolita' award worth 10 million yen from the police department, and then be given the title of 'Good Citizen', becoming a people's hero adored by countless 2D girls, and from then on live a worry-free life, able to stay at home until death. Thinking about it, I'm getting a little excited."

  "There's no such thing as a 'Natural Lolita Protection Award' in the world! Even if there was, it wouldn't be worth 10 million yuan! And even if you became a hero in real life, you wouldn't have a 2D girl fawn over you, would you? What kind of happy life or peak of human existence is dying at home?! Soulless!" Kamijou Touma clutched his head and looked up at the sky, exasperated. He couldn't believe that someone like this was actually his friend. If he really was, then just how tragic must his past have been to befriend someone like this?

  "Hey, not bad, five consecutive sarcastic remarks! But young man, do you know what someone who's full of dreams and idealistic about those dreams will do after their dreams are shattered?" Ji Lu Chu Ye made a gesture as if he was going to take out his phone and dial a number with ill intentions.

  "What's going on?" Kamijou Touma swallowed his saliva with a bad premonition and asked.

  "Of course it's revenge against society, for example destroying the Earth or humanity." The first-year student looked at him with a condescending attitude, looking down on Kamado's intelligence: "Does this guy never read manga? Many of the villains in there are made like that."

  "Don't say such cheesy lines with a sense of entitlement, is the definition of mental illness really that loose in this world?! Quick, someone call a doctor to take this guy away! Kamijou Touma covered his face and wept. So my friends back then were really this kind of people? Using the Chinese proverb 'birds of a feather flock together', I can already imagine just how miserable my past life was."

  "Mortal wisdom, ah, is no match for the lowest of the low. In medicine, it's already been proven that neurological disorders and mental illnesses are two different concepts. As a lolicon, you can't even tell them apart? It seems I need to call the psychiatric hospital to come and rescue you! Tsk, does this mean the evidence in my hands is useless now? A mentally ill person, even if they've done something unforgivable to a young girl, can be partially or completely exempt from responsibility according to the law. How despicable!" Ji Lu Chu Yan let out a sigh, feeling regretful that the 'evidence' in his hand had lost its effectiveness.

  "What evidence?"

  Just as Kamijou Touma was about to spit out a mouthful of old blood and fall into a life-or-death crisis, a doctor with a Mediterranean appearance like Gyatou pushed open the door of the ward, glanced at Toma who was still in distress, suddenly understood, and gave Touma a sympathetic look. Having a chuuni friend who likes to make sarcastic remarks to this extent is truly unfortunate.

  "That little girl just stormed off, is that really okay? You don't actually remember anything, do you?"

  "Haha, what are you talking about, doctor? This amnesia thing is just like a melodramatic TV plot, how could it possibly happen to me, right?" Kamijou Touma chuckled, his eyes darting back and forth between Index and Hyouka, constantly hinting at the latter.

  "I already knew about your amnesia, and I'm guessing Intetsu knows some of it too." Kirito rolled his eyes, trying to brush it off, but anyone with half a brain could tell there was something fishy going on. Wasn't the pain of losing one's memories, which was like dying once, more important than other people's feelings? Intetsu was right... You really are an idiot, Kirito...

  "Did you already know... I was going to pretend not to notice and get away with it, haha, but it seems that's not suitable for me now... I didn't want to make her cry, am I really that terrible?..." Kamijou Touma hung his head low, staring blankly at the white bed sheet.

  "Cut it out, do you think Intiksis scolded you for being an idiot because you teased her? In fact, she's just angry that you're shouldering all the weight by yourself, and at this point, you're still considering her, when in fact, you're the one who got hurt the most in this matter. In a sense, your past self has already been killed by her!

  Kaito Toma furrowed his brow as he looked at Ushirode Doma, who was still hanging his head and acting foolishly, and said in an ill-humored tone: "What's with that expression of yours? If this were a GAL game, Intiksis would already be considered conquered by you, so stop looking so gloomy, you dead lolicon."

  He claims that the one he deeply loves is a 2D moe girl, and not a 3D loli. He wouldn't be envious or resentful at all!
