To Aru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Discussion (Archives)

[Requiem-x]

I went from disliking Index

Spoiler for Spoiler:

Index was peering at the cell phone screen from the side.

“Mh, you can’t do this, Touma! Food is one of the foundations of human life. You need to always strive to improve yourself!!”

“Then why don’t you try to improve yourself by learning how to cook!?”

“By the way, what are we having for dinner tonight?”

“Eh? I think the udon is getting close to its expiration date. If I add some random decorations and boil it in a pot…”

“We had that three days ago!”

“Then what about chilled udon? That would be great for the summer.”

“That was exactly what we had for lunch five days ago!”

“Oh, c’mon!! Don’t use your perfect memory for things like this!!”

That girl named Index had the special talent of never forgetting anything she learned. That ability had been used to have her memorize every line and character of 103,000 grimoires from around the world. She now functioned as a grimoire library.

However, Kamijou tilted his head in puzzlement.

“But if you can remember everything perfectly, can’t you remember the flavor of a luxurious 8000 yen sukiyaki set while eating chilled udon and be perfectly happy?”

“Ch-chasing after that kind of empty happiness does not fill my stomach!”

To feel pity for her in record time (Also, someone, please feed these two)

Spoiler for Spoiler:

“T-Touma, why does this area seem to be filled with a dangerous smell!?”

“Unfortunately, that is the non-monetary price one must pay to get a good deal. If you want something that is ‘guaranteed’, you need to head to an organic shop!!”

“B-but look at this: ‘Space Carrots! Such a surprising change in the carotene!’ Doesn’t that sound a bit ominous!?”

“Yes, it does seem a bit dangerous to just call it a ‘surprising change’. I’m not even sure if it has more of it, less of it, or if the structure of the carotene itself has changed. But look at this wonderful price! Only the strange products that are partially covered with research funds can be this cheap!!”

“The word ‘research’ scares me! And you just admitted it was strange, didn’t you, Touma!?”

“If it looks exactly like a carrot and tastes exactly like a carrot, then I say it must be made of the same stuff as a carrot. In other words…well, it’s all the same in your stomach!!”

“W-wait, Touma! What am I supposed to do if it tastes like a melon!?”

“Then you’ll know what it was talking about here.”

“?”

“The surprising change to the carotene.”

“I don’t want a surprise!”

But Kamijou doubted the vegetables could be too dangerous if they had simply been grown on a space station.

Kamijou looked over at some other ingredients while ignoring Index who was trembling while looking into the shopping cart.

This is what he found.

“T-Touma. Did you even read this!? It says: ‘Genetically Improved Lettuce #3. Three hundred different insects refuse to approach it. Sorry about #1 and #2!!’ I can’t trust this new technology of Academy City! What does it mean if not even bugs are willing to eat it? Really, what does it mean!? I want to know what exactly makes the bugs run away from it!! And the fact that a #1 and #2 disappeared into the shadows of history clearly hints at a dangerous conclusion!!”

“…”

Also, really? I mean, really?

A flame sword shot out forcefully along the path of the cigarette.

“But it was my own fault for not eliminating a known concern. I knew there was a risk of an ignorant amateur messing everything up.”

“Stiyl…!?”

“The situation is urgent. And your actions here has upped the rank of the urgency,” said the red-haired priest with a light tone despite holding a weapon that could easily kill. “I do not have the time or the desire to deal with uncertain elements. Really, I should probably just kill you, but I will stop at simply beating some sense into you.”

Some guys never learn, do they?

I... don't understand what you mean here, sorry.

Going to the chapter, seeing Index walk the road to becoming an informed consumer is sort of fun.

Well whatever now I get it in detail at least.

Fine by me, I won't get to play the game anyway

It has just occurred to me that this is the first time in a LONG while the we have seen Touma and Index together


EDIT:

Sumeragi's new name for Mikoto is 'Empress'...


...I swear I had nothing to do with it >_>

[judasmartel]

Lightning Empress... Hmm...

Mikoto + Misaki = A Certain Get Backers Duo.

Don't mention that, this chapter was healing me from Index deficiency .

EDIT:
Sumeragi's new name for Mikoto is 'Empress'...

I figured that, just don't get what exactly Index did to her here.

Quoted for awesome. Though Misaki is no Ban.

its useless struggle -_-

Biribiri will stay as a friend as always >_> Fan fiction will help the fans for the impossible to have an illusion that at least won't be broken (well unless its been taken down)

[kaizerknight01]

Borrowed form the PSP thread the LOL sernario can think is

Mitoko and Index "Who's the real wife and who the mistress !! Touma !!!

[OverNOut]

^Lol. I wonder whether that scenario will ever come true.

EDIT:
Wait a minute.... Touma actually realize Misaka has feelings for him.
Hmm, Kamachi probably just wanted to give the fans something that they will enjoy.

Bah Kamichi .exe will use that image a front cove of the LN only to troll his readers ..... that it has nothing to in what he's writing about

[Acer]

Reading the novel updates, only have two to comment:

1 - Touma's attempts to save money and still be able to eat are admirable, he comes to the point of asking the Index if she can not do something as perfect memory, really, if it continues, instead of clothes, he will soon be looking for food in the garbage.

2 - Stiyl not yet learned he's punching bag in this series, the doubt remains whether he is a shit or very shit.

Even if Index wasn't there Touma will ignore Mikoto anyway, thats a fate even Imagine Breaker can negate so it must be part of the friendzone from Kamachi world .

I always assumed that is their daily rutine when shit isn't happening.

Who cares if she's friendzoned or not? as long as Kamachi's teasing and artist are making doujins and delicious illustrations, everything will be fine ... and we all know neither will stop until the series ends.
And personally I'm a MitsuMiko/AcceMiko/MisaMiko fag shipper anyway, just to back it up (-w-)

My father always told me "if you don't have what you want, do with what you have", one of the reason I like Touma is because he's living with a similar philosophy ... and bam, I bet he'll make his commissions in the trash cans by the end of NT8.

No, he's obviously doing it on purpose to get more witches in his harem ... one witch per beating ... Yes, he's very shit

I can't wait for this scene I hope it's in this version. Would anybody mind translating what they are actually saying?

[Acer]

Chapter 1 complete

[Acer]

Touma and his cheap tricks.

[desrtsku]

“Fighting on a stage you prepared ahead of time simply puts me at the disadvantage.”

“Then what will you do?”

“Run away,” he replied immediately.

Kamijou Touma then turned tail and ran as quickly as he could.

... running away in order to win a fight, and it actually works.
Take notes Shinji-kun!
