Two dazzling blue and black lightning streaks crossed in midair.

They were clearly electric currents, but they seemed to carry an energy impact. The curved and scattered lightning snakes even illuminated most of the sky.

However, the blue current fell behind at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Misaka Mikoto had already used all her strength, but she could only resist for a short moment.

However, a moment was enough.

Saiki Kusuo, who had been approaching Misaka Mikoto, suddenly accelerated, used telekinesis to pull Misaka Mikoto to his side at the critical moment, and teleported away in one go. At

this time, Violet also agreed to the Master's call. It

seemed that in just a blink of an eye, Misaka Mikoto Alter was the only one left in the world.

After a short silence that was so quiet that it was terrifying.

Boom!

Dense black lightning fell from the sky, and a loud sound like a nuclear bomb explosion resounded through the sky, and it seemed to contain an angry roar.

But Misaka Mikoto had already been taken away by Saiki Kusuo and came to an alley with the farthest teleportation distance.

...I almost died.

When Misaka Mikoto came to her senses, this thought first came to her mind.

But even if she died, no one would know, no one would be sad, not even her parents, because everyone would regard that person as her.

"Enough..."

Misaka Mikoto shook her head, trying to get rid of all these thoughts from her mind, but her expression was like a child who was about to cry.

Although she knew that she couldn't beat the other party, the first fight made her feel the huge gap like a chasm. She couldn't find any useful information before, and now she has exposed herself. If this goes on, let alone stopping the war, it is a question whether she can survive.

"Meow——" The sound of a cat.

Misaka Mikoto turned around weakly and saw a black kitten appearing at the corner, approaching her little by little, without exploding its fur, nor showing its teeth and claws.

Although Misaka Mikoto likes cats very much, because her body will unconsciously release weak electromagnetic waves, animals don't like to approach her. As long as they get close, they will take a panic attack posture. However, this kitten seems to be completely different. It sways its body to approach her and rubs its nose intimately at her feet.

This successfully diverted Misaka Mikoto's attention.

She stared at the kitten with her eyes, slowly squatted down, and the moment her fingers touched the soft fur, she suddenly felt that her long-cherished wish had finally come true.

After all, she is still a child... Saiki Kusuo, who was standing behind her, breathed a sigh of relief and gave the kitten an encouraging look.

That's right, he called this kitten over with telepathy. In order to let it approach the frightened Misaka Mikoto, Saiki Kusuo promised three boxes of dried fish.

But why should I do this kind of conversation?

Saiki Kusuo thought helplessly in his heart that it was originally asked to do it by Ryougi Shiki. There is a convincing feeling on her.

"Ahem."

- Scared!

The sudden cough made Misaka Mikoto stand up suddenly, and the kitten jumped and ran away.

She immediately made a frustrated sound, but the little white quack in her arms still gave her great comfort.

"Misaka Mikoto, right." Saiki Kusuo was a little unaccustomed to speaking in his own voice, "I am Saiki Kusuo, and the two girls who just fought with me are my companions."

"...I'm sorry!"

Misaka Mikoto hurried to bow 90 degrees before Saiki Kusuo continued to speak, and her voice was trembling.

"Because of me, because of me..."

She didn't see the scene where Ryougi Shiki and Violet disappeared directly, and could only preconceived that they were killed by another Misaka Mikoto.

Instead, she was the one who should have stayed to fight, but was rescued by the person in front of her.

"You don't have to apologize." Even if he couldn't telepathically sense, Saiki Kusuo could guess what the other person was thinking, "They are fine, our master took them away at the end."

"Huh? Really, really?"

Misaka Mikoto raised her head and breathed a long sigh of relief after getting a positive reply.

Although I don't know what the other Misaka Mikoto is, it must be related to her. It's great that fewer people died because of her.

"Also, we originally planned to come to you." Saiki Kusuo's eyes were on the Quata in the other's arms, "It was also us who put the photo of the doll on the internal website. The master knows that you like this very much, but I didn't expect that you would appear at the same time and bump into the other Misaka Mikoto."

"No... I like it very much."

Misaka Mikoto was the first to deny this. Her eyes unconsciously drifted to other places, and subconsciously hugged the Quata doll in her hand tightly.

"Just, I just thought that its owner would be very sad to lose such a thing. After all, it looks like a very valuable thing. Well, that's it. I came here because I was worried about this."

"..."

The scene fell into a strange silence for a while.

However, Saiki Kusuo quickly came to his senses, because his grandfather was a hundred times more arrogant than this.

At this time, just ignore it, so he continued:

"We may know the truth about another Misaka Mikoto. You should have noticed that she has the same memory as you and thinks she is you, so we need your help to understand her - we are here to deal with such incidents."

"To deal with such incidents..." Misaka Mikoto tried hard to digest the information from the other party, and keenly discovered the key point, "Do you mean that similar things have happened in other places?"

"Yes." Saiki Kusuo nodded, "The specific things can be asked after the master comes, they should be on the way now."

Shen He is indeed on the way now.

After receiving Saiki Kusuo's message, he immediately initiated a summoning application for Violet and others, and set off in that direction.

Because there was no time to make extra explanations, Kanzaki Kaori and Stiyl did not follow. After all, they had to prioritize the safety of Index.

Halfway through, Shiki and Violet responded to the call and came to his side.

"Are you injured?"

This was the first question Shen He asked after seeing them.

"Not bad." Ryougi Shiki raised her right arm with only half of the sleeve left, "Part of the clothes was burned by the high temperature."

She simply pulled off the remaining half of the sleeve, revealing a slender white arm holding a long sword, now looking more like a female warrior.
