Toaru Majutsu no Index II Episode 16

Synopsis
Soon, Touma finds himself being taken to the hospital, with Index following him on his way. Touma feels that Index is happier than usual and thinks that she might be happy because he did not leave Index behind, much to the nun's embarrassment.

Touma then receives a phone call from the Frog-faced Doctor. The specialist from Academy City is concerned that people outside Academy City might be looking into Touma's body without their consent and thus, reserves a supersonic jet to take Touma back to Academy City. Also, the doctor reads to Touma a note from a certain Electromaster: "Prepare for the punishment game."

Meanwhile, Kanzaki Kaori contacts Tsuchimikado Motoharu about Touma's condition. Tsuchimikado knows that Kaori is partly responsible for what happened to Touma concerning the Amakusa, and tells her to be Touma's personal maid even for a day, much to Kaori's shock.

Although she is somewhat thinking about following Tsuchimikado's advice though...

Then, the door to her dormitory room opens, and Orsola introduces Kaori to a new addition to the Anglican Church: Agnese Sanctis.

Meanwhile, the Pope discusses things with a certain girl with piercings and a yellow scapular. The Pope is disappointed at the lack of respect this girl is showing at him, and assumes that it is the same with the other members of God's Right Seat. The girl with piercings then shows him a document...

...a document referring to Kamjiou Touma as an Enemy of God that must be eliminated at all costs.
