Stiyl explains that the Catholics won't kill Orsola until they can prove her to be a heretic. As Saiji leaves to free his comrades, Stiyl tells Tōma and Index to go home, since they have no further stake in this matter. Tōma, however, goes by himself to where Orsola is being held and tortured by Agnese's battle nuns, who reveal they deceived Necessarius to assist them. He is later joined by Stiyl, who reveals the crucifix Tōma gave to Orsola means she is under protection of the Church of England, followed by Index and the Amasukas. Whilst Tōma is put in charge in protecting Orsola, the others fend off the battle nuns, with Index utilizing the power "Sheol Fear", to deafen and paralyze some of the battle nuns. However, Luccia brings another force of battle nuns who willingly stab their ears to protect themselves from Sheol Fear.
