In the empty underground street, there were only three 'students' left at this time.

Although it is not known who the target of the main messenger behind the scenes is, it is clear that they have all been 'cleared', and the other party did not take immediate action for some reason.

In that case.

（…… There should still be a dead end, and it must be left before the encirclement is completely formed. ）

Misaka 00001, who was alert to the surroundings out of the corner of his eye, judged the current situation, and once again confirmed his priorities in his mind.

This is also the consensus reached in the Misaka network, which is securing escape routes.

Naturally, they targeted the enemy at Number 1 or the last one, and a blonde little sister with a strange hobby was just an ordinary person who happened to be caught up in it.

It is indeed a very consistent thinking in line with the status quo.

It's just that sometimes.

Accidents always like to come one after another.

"Basically, it's okay to go that way."

“……？”

The sudden statement caused the clone girls to temporarily stop their 'discussion'.

Whether it's the last work with a lot of expressions or the expressionless Misaka No. 00001, they are subconsciously looking for the source of the sound.

As a result, the one who took the lead in making the suggestion surprised everyone.

Without panicking or yelling, Fremia's receptiveness seemed to be somewhat beyond what they understood in their database for elementary school girls.

And, there is a more important question.

Even with the computing power of 20,000 people, he hasn't predicted the safest route, and this kid really ...... Aren't you looking for directions from your own memories?

The Misaka Internet has made it clear that there is a high probability of this explanation.

It's a pity.

Before the situation was safe, Misaka 00001 did not find a chance to verify.

"Let's go! Don't worry, I'll lead the way! ”

"Wow?! Wait! In this way, you can't rest assured! Misaka Misaka kept his doubts worried, and ran involuntarily!! ”

Using the mobility she had honed in the midst of getting lost, Fremia grabbed the hand of the last work and quickly ran towards the direction she had just pointed out.

It's so unscrupulous.

Misaka No. 00001, who also had no time to dissuade, sighed, so he had to follow helplessly, and blocked the rear of the two with his body.

Without a firearm to take with her, she had to choose this most 'clumsy' way just in case.

Good today.

The worst-case scenario envisioned by Misaka 00001 did not happen.

What's even more strange is that the two little ones ran out of the passage unharmed, and the figures lying in ambush nearby did not make any pursuit action.

What exactly is this......

What's going on?

After one last glance back at the entrance, Misaka 00001 gave up a few adventurous ideas in his heart and chased after him in the shouts of the last work.

The empty underground space returned to calm, as if it had undergone a 'drill'.

This weirdness.

It remained until they were completely gone.

“…………………………”

"Huhu, it's really a lively afternoon~☆"

On the corner of the street, a girl with a sweet voice slowly walked out of the heavily armed wooden figure.

She was dressed like one of the high school girls you see everywhere on the street, but her tone was the opposite of her appearance.

If you get closer, you can see a strange star reflected in her eyes, and a small liquid figure sitting on her shoulder.

"I didn't expect you to interfere, could it be that the person with the ability to telepathize just now ordered the people in this area to leave for an inexplicable reason, and it disturbed you."

"All in all, it's great to be able to lighten my workload."

The small figure looked at the strange and familiar girl on the side, and shrugged his shoulders quite humanely.

"Ah, I'm a little curious about your 'work'...... Moreover, they are also Taoli's sisters. ”

The star-eyed girl, who stretched out her index finger as if she was thinking about something, smiled and winked with a face that didn't seem to belong to her.

"This human affection, I'll remember it on Misaka-san~☆"

……

……

There are many Kihara.

The man with the tattoo on the left half of his face is not only an excellent researcher, but also a discoverer and developer of the ability to pass through.

It can be said that in his eyes,There is no secret at all about the ability to be the first in the school city.。

I haven't seen him for a while, but as long as I can make good use of the development materials at hand, I don't have a problem finding a way to do it.

Now due to the order from above to recover 'that', he has to take matters into his own hands.

Maybe the passage of one side in other people's perception is frightening, but for Kihara Shuta, it is just a slightly troublesome white mouse.

So here he comes.

With the idea of letting this first person 'recognize' his identity well, even if he accidentally kills him, it doesn't matter.

After all, he has everything in his hands.

That being the case—

So how to explain this funny scene now?

The fist he swung out missed again, and Kihara Shudo tilted his head slightly, glaring at the retreating white-haired boy in disbelief.

Hey, hey, hey.

This guy.

What did this strongest first just do?

Kihara asked himself as if he wanted to deepen his understanding.

In the face of an incapacitated researcher's attack, he didn't activate the ability reflex, but dodged?!

"This expression is really suitable for you, little brother Kihara."

The first with crooked lips spread out his hands and sarcastically with great pleasure.

"Do you want to touch me like that? Let me guess, is it because of those gloves, or is there some secret prop? ”

“……”

The researcher questioned did not answer.

Seemingly.

There have really been unexpected changes in the body of one party.

If it were him before, he would never dodge.

Kihara confirmed his conjecture.

“…… I really want to study it, hey, dead ghost, since you know that your ability is useless to me, you dare to be so arrogant, do you really want to die? ”

"How long can I hide just by escaping, I don't have time to play with you, and I can suffer less if I lie down honestly."

He knows very well that the first place where ability doesn't work is just a weak teenager whose physical ability is below the average age, even if there is a change in these days, it will not improve much, and it is impossible to fight against him with artificial muscles.

The result is still the same.

But some words have a different meaning in the ears of one party.

"That's exactly ......"

He muttered a few words in a deep voice, then curled the corners of his mouth.

Ability doesn't work or something, the first one is not the first time I've encountered it.

It's like half a year ago -

"That monster is a prototype of you bastards."

The white-haired boy half-tilted his head and smiled meaninglessly.

Finally.

Looking for a clue?
