Kamachi's contribution
Kamachi's contributions has Kamijou Touma's class go to a hot springs inn. The story follows the Delta Force as they try to peek on the women's bath. Once they peek, they find the men's bath because they were given false information. Attack dogs promptly chase them afterwards. Tsuchimikado Motoharu says that they can distract the dogs by giving them meat and throws Aogami Pierce to the dogs. Completely mirroring the scene at the beginning of volume 16 of Toaru Majutsu no Index, Aogami's sacrifice doesn't get rid of all the dogs, so Touma and Motoharu are forced to split up. Touma later jumps over a piranha-filled river and avoids tiger traps as he makes his way back to the inn. He loses the dogs by climbing a window, but finds out that he entered Fukiyose Seiri's room while she is changing her clothes. Touma is predictably beaten half to death.

It turns out the false information they were given and the extreme security around the inn were all Kumokawa Seria's doing just to mess with them.
