The final work is gone.

Misaka No. 00001, who went out to look for her, didn't come back either.

Realizing that the number of 'lost' people was likely to increase, the party who was in a bad mood had to go downstairs to the convenience store to see where the two guys had gone.

Speaking of which.

Today seems to be the first day of school.

The scattered advice and the reports he saw from time to time reminded him of this.

It's a pity for these.

What does it have to do with a roster of 'ghost students'?

Leaving the mess behind, he stared at the white-haired young man in front of him with a fierce look in his eyes, and smacked his tongue with a dissatisfied expression.

He wasn't imagining anyone's safety, or more accurately, he couldn't show that he was really worried.

- Annoying.

The boy couldn't help but complain.

When did you become so 'impetuous' around you?

The first person who walked on the street slowly reminisced and put on a thoughtful look.

Habit is really a terrible thing.

A little ghost who can't get rid of it, and he stays by talking to himself.

There is also a clone girl who always likes to run around after the end of the experiment.

These two guys, as if they just took it for granted, broke into his life.

One side has been puzzled more than once.

Obviously born from that kind of 'ridiculous reason' but don't care, these guys with the same face don't understand their relationship with them at all.

That day.

At that time.

He can understand.

It's just a little bit, and maybe there's no going back.

Standing in front of the shadow under the overpass, he stopped in front of his steps, palpitating because of some kind of fear, and sighed deeply in the sunlight for a young man who was unhappy that he would not think like this.

（…… That's stupid. ）

He muttered in his mind, not knowing what he meant.

Even so, the first decided to move on.

Whether he is 'too late' like this, no one has given an answer.

Whether he is qualified to stand here or not, no one can say clearly.

But.

Only one point can be affirmed.

If someone wants to put 'past' and 'present' into a multiple-choice question, he will no longer choose the wrong one at this moment.

So.

"I thought it was someone who had a grudge against me, but it turned out to be ...... Are you going to do some kind of after-show, little brother Kihara? ”

The first person who muffled his voice turned his head slightly, frowning at the figure who had disembarked from the black vehicle.

This guy he 'used to' know.

And just now, his approach and retreat were blocked by heavily armed special forces.

The comers are not good.

"Ah...... Ah, anyway, I didn't want to be here. ”

Hearing such a 'peaceful' question, the man in the white-clothed researcher's costume was stunned for a moment, and then scratched his head, put on a helpless look and replied casually.

Then, he said deliberately as if he had seen something incredible.

"I didn't expect that...... Hey, are you really that 'one-way pass'? Such an honest look, although I already hate you little ghost, but half a year ago you may have liked me a little more. ”

"Got it? Now it's completely incompatible with you, experimental animals should look like experimental animals, don't just add drama to yourself, okay? It's going to bother me. ”

Laughing at the strongest superpower in the school city,The man with the name of "Kihara" moved his fingers,There is no fear in his words.。

Obvious provocation.

The white-haired boy grinned.

It is not enough to say that the qi and blood are surging, but the bloodshot in the eyes has indeed increased.

Whether 'past' or 'present' is more important, let him give a clear answer.

Come to think of it.

The first one was very happy after a long absence.

"Hey!"

Come on.

From now on.

Here, one side passes.

……

……

The call didn't get through.

Listening to the noise signal coming from his ears, Misaka No. 00001 tilted his head, and his movements were slightly regretful.

Although she felt it was necessary to report her situation to the 'superiors' who were 'caring' the last work, she had to give up for the time being if she couldn't get through.

The clone girl's expression did not change because of this, and she turned to look at the two children who were standing near the crane machine operating table.

So.

The goal of their outings should be the ingredients for the evening, not the ......

That one......

"Ahaha! Sure enough, No. 1 also thinks that the doll is the best! Misaka Misaka looked at his compatriots with satisfaction and nodded proudly! ”

"Meow?! Even her?! Why do you guys like frog dolls with beards?! ”

Looking at her big sister staring at a toy stuck to the glass, Fremia took two steps back in disbelief.

I was shocked by the other party's aesthetics.

Besides.

"It's obvious that the zombie dolls here are cuter! She's the heroine of Scarlet and Doom! ”

The unwilling little guy immediately reached out and actively introduced the doll of the protagonist of a certain game she liked next to her, trying to attract the attention of the Misaka sisters.

It was a curious doll with eyeballs falling out like buttons, and a kitchen knife 'decorated' on its clothes.

Sure enough.

In the end, it was a unanimous cry, 'It's strange you're right!' Such an answer.

This made Fremia feel that her voice seemed to be falling behind more and more.

It must be because the other party has 'two people'!

In order to salvage the situation of this 'battle', the little girl, who realized the point, instinctively remembered her sister.

But she didn't forget either.

Flanda did tell her that she had something to do in the afternoon.

"Don't meow......"

Holding the communication tool, Fremia who didn't want to disturb her sister and wanted her to accompany her looked very entangled.

However.

Just when she hesitated.

The whispers in my ears have robbed me of this choice.

“…… When an emergency happens, from now on, please be sure to follow Misaka's command, who tried his best to keep his voice down and made a request to his blonde little sister......"

'Sister Misaka', who was still immersed in the charm of the doll, suddenly crouched down and approached Fremia's side vigilantly.

“…… We were targeted, one at the top of the staircase, two at the corner in front, and two at the rear entrance, and it was not yet possible to analyze the enemy's priority targets and specific numbers. Misaka explained the current situation and was ready to respond to emergencies at any time......"

Her voice was the same as before, but it was not difficult to hear the tension between the lines, as if Fremia had the feeling that if she had made a wrong reaction, she would immediately run away with the two of them.

As a member of the 'Mass Production Competence', the Misaka 00001 has excellent combat experience and counter-reconnaissance capabilities.

Because of this, she was able to feel the 'change of atmosphere' around her for the first time.

The smooth routine is taking a sharp turn.

Weapons are limited, support is limited, and the combat area is limited.

What to do?

The Misaka network, which joined the final work, had a heated discussion.

And what they don't know is.

In the calm before this crisis.

Another 'conversation'.

It's also going on quietly.
