At this time, Mikoto Misaka could see the problem just by looking at it.

The lips were discolored, the originally beautiful eyes were bloodshot, and even the hair was a little messy.

It's completely a haggard look with a lot of heart.

Mikoto Misaka shrunk her neck quite embarrassed, as if she wanted to escape, and after finding that there was nowhere to escape, she looked left and right and pretended that there was no problem.

Naturally, she also knew what she looked like at this time.

That's why I didn't dare to go back.

"Is it uncomfortable?" Shen Mo asked softly, not withdrawing his hand, still holding it to her ear, as if gently touching her hair.

"Also, no." Mikoto Misaka turned her head a little uncomfortably.

However, a warm palm pressed directly against her head, twisting her back again.

Directly look at those dark pupils.

Shen Mo didn't speak, just looked at her gently.

After half a ring.

"Alright, alright." Mikoto Misaka couldn't stand it at first, and looked away like she gave up on herself, "Anyway, you can see what I'm thinking, it's just very uncomfortable, but it's weird, isn't it?" The purpose is to save people, but why do you want to kill people? ”

The impact of killing, the desire to save people, and the fear of what you have done.

Mikoto Misaka's heart is far less relaxed than she appears to be now.

She just didn't want to show her weakness, even though she knew that the person in front of her could see through everything she was hiding.

"There's good news for you." Shen Mo said softly.

"What?" Mikoto Misaka asked subconsciously.

"That man, Emperor Yuangen, is not dead." Shen Mo said.

"Really, really?" Mikoto Misaka's gaze suddenly shifted, and for a moment, joy did flash in her heart.

"But is that really good news?" Shen Mo looked at her gently.

Mikoto Misaka's expression froze suddenly.

She reacted.

If that person hadn't died, wouldn't it have ...... Her friends, could all be in danger?

The blood on his face gradually disappeared.

Panic and fear began to appear in his eyes.

Kuroko and Tears will definitely not be that person's opponent!

"So, do you want you to kill him, or do you wish you didn't kill him?" The palm that was silently placed on top of her head pressed slightly.

"I'm ......," Mikoto Misaka opened her mouth.

She wanted to say she didn't know, but she couldn't.

Because at this time, the emotions in her heart have already told her the answer.

That's right.

She wanted him to die, to die under her own attack.

"You know what I like most about you?" Shen Mo asked with a shallow smile, but his gaze became softer and softer.

In normal times, such straightforward words would make Mikoto Misaka blush for a while.

But now.

She just raised her head, like a helpless cat, and looked at him with some pity.

"Responsible." Silence gave the answer.

"Responsibility...... Heart? Mikoto Misaka whispered.

"I'm not going to tell you that that guy is a bad guy, so it's okay to kill him." Shen Mo rubbed her hair, "Because you won't use this reason to evade your responsibility, since you can't escape it, then you can only shoulder the responsibility well." ”

Mikoto Misaka is indeed such a character.

Words of comfort don't mean much.

She may need comfort, but she needs to accept it all.

"In fate, if you want to gain something, you must be prepared to lose something." After a pause, he continued, "The jar is like this, and so is the strength, and the pain you feel at the moment, the fear and remorse in your heart are all the price to pay for protecting your sister and protecting your friends—and the responsibility that you can't escape in your heart. ”

Mikoto Misaka couldn't help but clench her fists.

There's nothing wrong with that.

Whether it's what happens to her sisters or the danger of getting her friends involved, it's her responsibility.

Haven't you already decided to save your sisters no matter what?

So far.

She's still struggling with something.

After a moment of silence, Mikoto Misaka looked away a little, and even dodged a little.

"That, that, total, anyway....... Thank you, thank you. ”

It's obviously a simple thank-you, but for Sister Tsundere, it seems to be more tiring than fighting, and even her face is a little red.

She still hasn't fully accepted it.

But I already have an awareness that I have to accept.

"No thanks." Shen Mo smiled and withdrew his palm, "You don't have to worry too much about what your friends will think of you if they find out, give them a little more confidence, maybe they will be more angry than you, and they may want to kill more." ”

"Hmm." Mikoto Misaka was still a little squirming, but when she talked about her friends, she looked at Shen Mo with some worry, "That person, is it really not dead?" ”

That second bit felt like a real madman.

If he lives.

Her friends are definitely in danger.

"Well, it's still alive, but it's about the same as dead." Shen Mo shrugged, "About a third of the body left, it's been recovered by Aresta." ”

"A third? Reclaim? Mikoto Misaka stood up suddenly, "So tonight's battle was really done by Aresta?" ”

"There are many more challenges you will face in the future." Shen Mo nodded his head, but his smile narrowed a little, "Either crying and shouting and begging others to save you, or you try to change everything, if you want to protect others, if you want to change your fate on your own, it has never been a simple thing." ”

In tonight's battle, Mikoto Misaka defeated the combination of second and fourth place.

This will undoubtedly make her more of an eye for Aresta.

Although this is also one of the purposes of silence, for Mikoto Misaka, she will face an even greater challenge.

After tonight, though.

She should already have this realization.

Mikoto Misaka looked at the mysterious shopkeeper in front of her and opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something.

But I couldn't say it.

Finally, he lowered his head, rubbed his face, and then shook off his hair and returned to his usual expression.

"I'd better go back, otherwise Kuroko will definitely be super worried."

"Well, go ahead." Shen Mo said gently, "If you have anything, you can come and ask me at any time." ”

"Okay, that's what it is, after-sales service." Mikoto Misaka also said a witty word, and then gulped down the remaining milk tea, wiped her mouth with the back of her hand without a lady, and went straight to open the door of the store and go out.

Turning his head, he glanced behind the convenience store that had become an ordinary one.

His eyes darkened a little.

She actually wanted to ask, if she cried and shouted and pleaded, would the shopkeeper save her?

But I couldn't ask.

I'm afraid I'll be rejected.

"Favorite ...... Responsible? ”

Mikoto Misaka walked towards her school, leaving only a murmuring whisper.

"It's all my responsibility."
