The first arc of this season was basically them vs. the RCC. It doesn't make sense for them to suddenly team up.

And "Even the Amakusa Church is involved?" doesn't mean that they're on the RCC's side. They're part of the British Puritan Church now - just think of them as an extension of Necessarius or something. There's no way they'd ever betray Kanzaki.

So these boats aren't part-magic at all...? Since Touma already touched it.
An explanation:

Quote:
Though…this feels like glass or crystal, it’s not. It’s more like ice.

Speaking of practical buildings that are made of ice, the Inuit tribe from Canada are famous for using ice to make ‘igloos’, but not of this scale.

Kamijou prods on the deck with his finger. It’s definitely something similar to ice, as skin sticks to the surface upon contact. It’s not cold; it’s slightly warm like plastic… but ice freezes at 0 degrees Celsius under atmospheric pressure, which is common knowledge. Under certain conditions however, the freezing and boiling point can be changed. There exists ice at 20 degrees Celsius and steam at 80 degrees Celsius.

This is obviously made from magic.

So even if it’s ice, the floor isn’t slippery. The reason why ice is slippery is because the surface of the ice would melt into water, reducing friction. By changing the melting point, even if the ice touches human skin, it won’t melt, so there won’t be any water on it. This magical stuff probably won’t break even with Kamijou’s right hand touching it, and would have a similar kind of effect as Stiyl’s "Innocentius".
If it's too big or it regenerates too fast, Touma's hand won't really have an effect.
