The episode opens with a glimpse of Index's dangerous abilities, as she is able to retrieve long lost and powerful magical knowledge. She is sought after by the various factions of the magical world, who believe that owning the knowledge would give them an unbeatable edge over their enemies. In the previous episode, Touma had managed to rescue Index from the clutches of a rogue sorcerer who had been using her as a pawn in his attempt to gain the knowledge.

However, this only led to more dangerous factions being alerted to Index's whereabouts, and in "Route Disturb (Pursuit Inhibited)", Touma and Index find themselves hunted once again.

Touma is determined to protect Index at all costs, but he quickly realizes that it won't be easy. The magicians are skilled in combat and have powerful abilities at their disposal. Touma must use all his wits and skills to evade their attacks and keep Index out of harm's way. However, he is running out of options, and it seems like the magicians are getting closer with each passing minute.

As Touma and Index make their way through the city, they encounter several obstacles that hinder their progress. They are forced to take detours and change their routes constantly in order to avoid detection. However, even as they hide from their pursuers, Touma realizes that they are not safe anywhere. The magicians have eyes and ears all over the city, and it's only a matter of time before they are found.

Meanwhile, the other factions of the magical world are watching events unfold with keen interest. The Church of England, in particular, is keeping a close eye on Touma's progress. They have sent one of their agents, a powerful magician named Stiyl Magnus, to assist Touma in his mission. Stiyl, who has a personal connection to Index, is determined to help Touma protect her, but he knows that they are facing overwhelming odds.

As the episode progresses, Touma and Index find themselves cornered in an abandoned building. The magicians have closed in on them, and there seems to be no way out. However, just when all hope seems lost, Touma's luck turns. He is able to find a way to turn the tables on his pursuers and unleashes a surprise attack that catches them off guard.

The episode ends with a stunning twist that sets up the next episode perfectly. Touma and Index realize that they have stumbled upon a much larger conspiracy, and they resolve to uncover the truth behind it.
