"Misaka Mikoto?"

Misaki Shokuhou was taken aback at first, but she immediately understood Misaka Mikoto's purpose.

Since Best said that the person who saved Misaka Mikoto needed his help, then Best must have overheard something. In that case, it seems only natural that Misaka Mikoto would come to her.

"Let her in. If you keep blocking her, she'll probably just barge in anyway."

Hearing Misaki Shokuhou's voice, the subordinates outside the door argued for a few moments before opening the door, and Misaka Mikoto, looking travel-worn and panting, walked in.

"What's wrong? Why are you interested in seeing me? Do you suddenly want to start a war with me? Although I don't have your fighting strength, I'm not afraid of you."

Misaka Mikoto habitually pouted. It was now inevitable that the two of them would argue, and every word they uttered was a provocation.

This time, however, Misaka Mikoto could only suppress her displeasure and take a step forward.

Misaki Shokuhou wanted to say something more, but Misaka Mikoto's next action silenced her.

Misaka Mikoto bowed to Shokuhou Misaki.

This action startled not only Misaki Shokuhou, but also her subordinates who were nervously watching from the doorway.

After all, Misaka Mikoto and Shokuhou Misaki are Tokiwadai's two aces, and it's only natural for two aces to fight each other.

Now, Misaka Mikoto suddenly bows to Shokuhou Misaki. What does this mean?

Does this mean Misaka Mikoto has bowed down to Shokuhou Misaki?

If that's true, that would be big news!

Thinking of this, the men at the door became excited.

However, Misaki Shokuhou herself showed no sign of joy; instead, her expression was rather strange.

In reality, there weren't many truly insurmountable obstacles between her and Misaka Mikoto. Apart from minor conflicts between the two at school, Misaka Mikoto was unaware of their real conflicts.

Because Misaki Shokuhou had already seen Misaka Mikoto's clone, and it was a somatic cell clone. She was even invited to stabilize the emotions of Misaka Mikoto's original experimental subject, the somatic cell clone, because of her abilities.

It was around that time that Misaka Mikoto's clone became friends with Shokuhou Misaki. However, because somatic cell clones are inherently deficient and destined to have short lifespans, and because their growth process involves too many drugs to accelerate their development, the lifespan of Misaka Mikoto's somatic cell clone was further shortened.

Therefore, their friendship was destined to be a tragedy.

Misaki Shokuhou had no way to save her friends, and Misaka Mikoto's cell clone was also destined to leave this world. All of this had a great impact on Misaki Shokuhou's spirit, after all, Misaki Shokuhou's abilities also meant that she would not have any friends.

Therefore, when Misaki Shokuhou finally meets the real Misaka Mikoto one day, one can imagine the complex feelings she will have for Misaka Mikoto.

Aside from nostalgia, the majority of the emotions are naturally negative.

For example, some believe that the somatic cell clone of Misaka Mikoto they knew back then was the real one, and that the Misaka Mikoto they see now is an imposter; others resent that Misaka Mikoto handed over her cell data back then, otherwise so many tragedies would not have occurred.

Of course, perhaps Misaki Shokuhou herself didn't realize that she might still be hoping that the Misaka Mikoto in front of her would become the Misaka Mikoto she knew in the past, and that their friendship could continue.

However, this was destined to be impossible, since even if Misaka Mikoto wanted to tell her what had happened before, it would be impossible.

After all, Misaki Shokuhou's abilities have no effect on Misaka Mikoto.

"Hey, aren't you going to say a word?"

Misaka Mikoto, who was bowing, noticed that Shokuhou Misaki wasn't moving at all. She looked up at Shokuhou Misaki and found that she was daydreaming, so she naturally asked her a question.

This also brought Misaki Shokuhou out of her memories, allowing her to see the slightly impatient attitude in Misaka Mikoto's eyes.

...This person is definitely not her.

She suppressed the inexplicable emotion in her heart, but her dissatisfaction with Misaka Mikoto resurfaced. She reached out and pressed down on Misaka Mikoto's head, saying, "Since you're planning to ask me for something, then you should put on a proper show of asking for help."

Although Misaka Mikoto was dissatisfied, she still lowered her head and said, "Please do me a favor."

Logically, Misaka Mikoto should have asked Misaka Mikoto what she wanted her help with at this point. However, having already learned of Misaka Mikoto's purpose, Misaka Mikoto wanted to do something else.

"It's not that I can't help you..."

Misaki Shokuhou smiled slightly and said, "Whatever you want me to help you with, first call me Your Majesty and let me see."

After saying that, Misaki Shokuhou looked at Misaka Mikoto with a smile, wanting to see Misaka Mikoto's embarrassed expression and experience the pleasure of bullying Misaka Mikoto.

However, Misaki Shokuhou was disappointed. Misaka Mikoto looked up in surprise and said, "It's that simple?"

This surprised Misaki Shokuhou. It was that simple?

Logically speaking, given Misaka Mikoto's temperament and her competitive nature, this should not be an easy request to fulfill. Yet, the Misaka Mikoto in front of us said it was so simple.

Is he putting on a tough act?

Misaka Mikoto quickly proved that she wasn't pretending to be relaxed, but was truly determined.

Misaka Mikoto took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Queen of Tokiwadai, Misaki Shokuhou, Queen Shokuhou!"

Is this okay?

Misaka Mikoto not only made a sound, but she also made it in various ways, using many different tones, so that even Shokuhou Misaki couldn't find a single fault with it.

Misaki Shokuhou's expression turned serious, because she sensed Misaka Mikoto's determination.

"Hmph, you're smart enough to know what's good for you. Now tell me what you want me to do?"

Misaki Shokuhou still had to ask the question; she couldn't very well tell Misaka Mikoto that she had been secretly following her and already knew everything, could she? Misaka Mikoto also succinctly told Misaki Shokuhou what she needed to do.

"So, you want me to use my abilities to access a person's mind, and then enter that mind to awaken them?"

"Yes."

"You probably don't realize how risky this is. If we can't confirm the condition of his brain beforehand, and if his brain is contaminated, I'll also be affected mentally. Mental health is a very serious matter, so..."

"Ugh, I don't want to hear your excuses. I just want to ask you one thing: can you help me? If you agree, I'll do anything you ask!"

Misaki Shokuhou was taken aback, somewhat displeased at being interrupted. She said angrily, "Even if I made you kneel down right now, in front of all the Tokiwadai students, and say that you will be my servant and obey my orders..."

"...Is this condition alright?"

Shokuhou Misaki smiled slightly, looking at Misaka Mikoto with a provocative expression, and said, "Do you dare to agree?"

However, Misaka Mikoto's gaze once again caused Shokuhou Misaki to fail; Misaka Mikoto repeated the same words.

"It's that simple?"

Is it really that simple?

Is this a simple matter?

Stop joking!

Misaka Mikoto looked at Shokuhou Misaki in surprise. She herself felt that the condition was a bit harsh, but Misaka Mikoto agreed so easily.

Why is that?

However, Misaka Mikoto was unaware that she had made a much deeper resolution beforehand. She had originally planned to do much more, so Misaka Mikoto's current request was really nothing.

"If this is truly your request, I can do it. Shall we do it now, right here?"

As she spoke, Misaka Mikoto touched her hair and pretended to kneel down, while Shokuhou Misaki's subordinates at the door took out their phones in surprise and delight.

"Stop."

However, Misaki Shokuhou stopped them. She stared at Misaka Mikoto for a long time before asking, "For him, you would even give up your dignity?"

However, what greeted Misaka Mikoto was her unwavering gaze.

"He has already given up his life for me, and I am only giving up my dignity for him. Isn't that simple?"

026 Then listen carefully to my conditions.

Misaka Mikoto's words left the Shokuhou Misaki's subordinates at the door stunned. It was unclear whether they were shocked by Misaka Mikoto's words or because the current situation was not developing as they had imagined.

What was supposed to be a storyline where Tokiwadai's Railgun leans towards mind control, giving their queen more screen time, has changed.

They clearly had a huge advantage, and it seemed like A could win the war right away. But why did Misaka Mikoto's simple words at this moment turn them into villains on the battlefield, and into such a despicable figure?

Misaki Shokuhou was also stunned, because it was the first time she had ever heard Misaka Mikoto admit defeat. Unfortunately, this admission of defeat did not give her any sense of accomplishment, because Misaka Mikoto did not admit defeat because of Misaki Shokuhou.

Misaka Mikoto was also willing to abandon her dignity for that boy, the boy who also interested Best.

Although Misaka Mikoto's reason was perfectly valid—that the boy saved her—Shokuhou Misaki sensed something different, an unusual firmness.

what is it?

"Misaka Mikoto, are you really not going to reconsider?"

Despite having the upper hand, Shokuhou Misaki now seems to be at a disadvantage. Even though she was giving Misaka Mikoto a chance, it feels like Shokuhou Misaki is hoping that Misaka Mikoto will regret it.

Could it be that Misaka Mikoto's strength and persistence are not to be used to?

Perhaps, in Misaki Shokuhou's mind, the strong and genuine Misaka Mikoto could never be a clone, but the real Misaka Mikoto. Then, wouldn't Misaki Shokuhou's former friend, the clone of Misaka Mikoto's somatic cells, be a fake?

Misaki Shokuhou was unwilling to admit that Misaka Mikoto's words had shaken her. She had to accept this, otherwise her position would no longer be stable. Misaka Mikoto was no longer that ignorant and laughable girl, while she, Misaki Shokuhou, had become a pitiful creature clinging to things she shouldn't have.

However, Misaka Mikoto's answer remained firm and resolute.

"No need to think about it anymore, Misaki Shokuhou. If you really want me to kneel, I can do it, as long as you agree to save him. So, what is your answer? Kneel? You can ask for anything else, I'll do whatever you say."

Despite being the one asking for help, Misaka Mikoto is now the one in control, leaving Shokuhou Misaki in a difficult position. Her subordinates, witnessing this strange scene, felt a mix of emotions.

However, Misaki Shokuhou is someone who would never admit defeat. Having endured so much suffering and standing here as a victor, how could she possibly admit defeat to Misaka Mikoto?

Since Misaka Mikoto's strength and determination made her feel ashamed, then Shokuhou Misaki would personally destroy that strength and determination, and let this pretentious brat in front of her reveal her true cowardly nature. How could someone who was so stupid as to hand over all her cells and let Academy City clone countless copies of her with her cells be worthy of having such a strong and righteous heart?

"No, I don't need you to kneel down. I suddenly find that thing boring, and I've changed my mind."

Misaki Shokuhou narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a dangerous smile befitting her queenly demeanor, a smile tinged with malice.

The perceptive Misaka Mikoto immediately noticed the malice, but she could not back down now, nor could she afford to. Whatever Shokuhou Misaki was going to do, she had to face the challenge head-on.

"Speak, Misaki Shokuhou, state your conditions."

"Good expression, good will, but I hope you can remain this strong after hearing my conditions."

Misaka Mikoto's pupils contracted slightly, but she gritted her teeth and said, "Go ahead and say it, whatever you want."

"Then listen carefully."

Misaki Shokuhou took out a remote control and tapped it lightly. All her subordinates at the door stood still and froze, leaving only Misaki Shokuhou, Misaka Mikoto, and Best able to remain composed.

"I will go and save you. I will save the right person. As long as his brain is intact, I will make him wake up from this dream."

"However, as a price..."

Misaki Shokuhou stared at Misaka Mikoto, her eyes flashing with a cold light, and said, "I will alter his memories so that he will completely forget everything you did for him. He will never know anything about all that you did for him."
