"You're finally home, Touma-san. But you carrying a heavy burden on your shoulders," Shokuhou said who was wearing an apron because she had just finished learning to cook from Chitose who was currently talking to Orsola. "Is that girl on your shoulders the enemy you had to defeat a moment ago?"
"Well, if I just leave her on the road just like that, then this girl will cause a lot of trouble. So like it or not, I have to tame the nun who thinks she can rule the world," Touma said with a sigh and then placed Agnese's body on the sofa in the Yuragi Sou lobby.
"Rule the world? Why do almost all the enemies you have to face always want to rule the world. Like cliche supervillains like those in movies," Shokuhou said with a surprised look on her face. "Aren't these criminals cannot thinking about anything else besides ruling the world? Isn't ruling the world a very troublesome thing to do? Why do they all want to do such troublesome things!"
"Well, that's one of the things I always question, why are there so many criminals who want to do such a meaningless thing?" Touma said while sighing. "But it would be better if we postpone our discussion about that for later, because right now I want to eat dinner because my stomach is hungry. Shokuhou-san, are Chitose-san and Shizuka-san finished cooking dinner?"
"Ah, if it comes to that, Shizuka-san hasn't finished shopping for groceries for dinner yet. So the food currently available at Yuragi Sou is only food that I made together with Chitose-san with ingredients that I bought by myself," Shokuhou said who really wanted the food she made to be eaten by Touma. "I know that the food I make is not as delicious as what Chitose-san or Shizuka-san make, but I hope you will enjoy the food I make so you can fill your hungry stomach."
Touma had never tried food cooked by Shokuhou before, because Shokuhou didn't want Touma to eat his incomplete cooking. Because Shokuhou doesn't want Touma to feel disappointed with the results of his cooking, but this time Shokuhou's cooking skills are much better. And the taste of the food he makes already tastes better, even though it's still not on par with the taste of Chitose and Shizuka's cooking.
But Shokuhou felt confident that the food she made would at least be acceptable to Touma's tongue.
"Ooh, finally I can also eat the food you make Shokuhou-san, does that mean your cooking skills have improved to the point that you feel confident in offering the food you make to me?" Asked Touma, who was curious about the taste of the food Shokuhou made.
"Yes, that's how it is, Chitose-san, Ukyo-san, Kasumi-san and also Shizuka-san helped me a lot in improving my cooking skills," Answered Shokuhou who felt nervous because of Touma's question. "The four of them guided me well so that my food, which was previously a bit bland, became more delicious and acceptable to my tongue."
Shokuhou then walked towards the kitchen so she could bring the food she had made to Touma.
Touma waits for Shokuhou in the Yuragi Sou lobby while sealing Agnese's magic power using runes he wrote with blood from his right hand.
The blood on Touma's right hand has anti-supernatural properties so it can be used to seal someone's magic or Esper powers. Touma doesn't want Agnese to do anything wrong when he wakes up from sleep.

"I understand clearly what you mean by that, mama," Orsola said with a face full of sadness and disappointment. "I'm not suitable to be a nun, because of my obsession and also my careless nature. But what I don't understand is that even though now I have changed my mind and want to stop being a nun, there are strange words that appear in my head and say that no matter what happens I must remain as a nun because I am destined to be the best nun in the world! Is it my obsession with becoming a nun that makes me hear strange voices in my head?"
"That's possible, but it could be that you heard the voice because of other factors," Chitose said, who felt worried when she found out that her adopted daughter heard a strange voice in her head. "Let me check your head first using Magecraft so I know whether your head has a problem or not."
"Eh, Magecraft? Is that some kind of magic, or Esper power?" Asked Orsola who didn't understand Chitose's words.
"Let's just say it's a kind of magic that can only be used by me, Hiko-san and Touma-san, because this magic can't be used by everyone," Answered Chitose who explained Magecraft simply to Orsola.
Chitose then touched Orsola's head then he used Structural Analysis to check whether there was a problem in Orsola's head.
And after he checked Orsola's head, Chitose's face turned pale. Because he managed to find something planted in Orsola's head which made Orsola's obsession with becoming a nun even crazier.
"Mama, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so pale?" Asked Orsola who was worried about Chitose.
"Someone put a charm in your head that made your obsession with becoming a nun worse," Chitose answered with cold sweat dripping from her face. "And whoever installed it in your head, that person is very skilled, because even when I used Magecraft to check your head. I almost couldn't find the amulet, and to remove the amulet from inside your head without side effects I need help from Touma-san who has Esper abilities that can be used to remove the amulet safely and without any risk at all."
"I don't know who put that talisman in my head, but what is clear is that I don't want it to stay in my head any longer. Because that talisman is currently giving me a headache and forcing me to do things I don't want to do!" Orsola said while holding her head. "I no longer want to be a nun, if being a nun will only ruin my life and cause trouble for other people."
"I feel happy that you are finally willing to change your mind, Orsola. But I have to make proper preparations so that I can get the talisman out of your head," Chitose said. "Relying on Touma-san's strength alone will not be enough, for your safety thorough preparation is absolutely necessary."
