"and……"

Misaki Shokuhou ran her fingers from Momo's chest across his abdomen, finally placing them on her own abdomen, massaging both of them at the same time. She said, "If I'm not mistaken, after what happened today, Academy City will change because of you."

“From now on, this is a matter for the two of us, for all of us, my king.”

……

Braving the cold wind after the rain, Shirai Kuroko kept appearing and disappearing on the rooftop.

Night had just fallen, and the rain that had been falling all day had finally stopped. Shirai Kuroko immediately escaped from her dormitory and began to take action.

There are two reasons why she is here.

One is naturally the matter of Misaki Shokuhou. Although it was said that she didn't need to handle these matters, why didn't Shirai Kuroko deal with it after watching Misaki Shokuhou being captured right in front of her and understanding the danger of the situation?

And then there's Momo.

Misaka Mikoto naturally wouldn't hide the fact from Shirai Kuroko that Shokuhou Misaki was already with Momo, which led Shirai Kuroko to believe that Momo might have saved Shokuhou Misaki by chance.

Originally, Shirai Kuroko wanted to find Shokuhou Misaki through Momo, but when Misaka Mikoto tried to call Momo again, she couldn't get through at all.

Even when Shirai Kuroko tried to locate Momo through her phone, she failed because the investigation revealed that Momo's phone was broken.

This news instantly filled Shirai Kuroko with fear. If Momo really did save Shokuhou Misaki from the second person's clutches, and now Momo's phone has suddenly been destroyed, does this mean Momo might encounter the second person again, and then...

Did something unforeseen happen?

She didn't dare tell Misaka Mikoto about this, so she told Misaka Mikoto that she had found Mo Mo's phone location and that she would go to find Mo Mo's whereabouts next.

Misaka Mikoto was originally going to come along, but Shirai Kuroko naturally wouldn't allow it. Not only did Shirai Kuroko have no idea where Momo was, but even if Shirai Kuroko were to find Momo by sheer luck, she wouldn't let Misaka Mikoto come along before confirming Momo's situation.

In case Momo is discovered...

Shirai Kuroko dared not think too much about it, but as a member of the Disciplinary Committee, she certainly knew more about the darkness of Academy City than Mikoto.

Therefore, although Shirai Kuroko only disliked Mo Mo, she couldn't help but worry about him a little more now.

However, Shirai Kuroko's slight worry did not last more than a few seconds before it was wiped away by what happened next.

Because Misaka Mikoto couldn't persuade Shirai Kuroko to take her out for a night stroll, she pulled Shirai Kuroko aside and gave her a long and detailed lecture, nagging in her ear for a full ten minutes. And the main point of those ten minutes was only one thing.

That means you absolutely cannot have any conflict with Momo, otherwise Misaka Mikoto will be unhappy!

This almost made Shirai Kuroko choke. She really wanted to tell Misaka Mikoto what kind of bastard Momo was, because Momo actually had a relationship with her, Shirai Kuroko...

However, Shirai Kuroko couldn't bring herself to say it, because due to the limitations of their transaction authority, the two of them had to keep quiet about everything until it was completed.

Even though she knew Mo Mo was a jerk, Shirai Kuroko still had to brave the cold wind and go out to look for Misaka Mikoto, carrying nine-tenths of her worries about Mo Mo.

How could she not have some minor emotional issues?

"Ugh... I just suddenly appeared out of nowhere, but Academy City is so big, how am I supposed to find myself?!"

"As expected...finding a second person is faster?"

Thinking of this, Shirai Kuroko was in a dilemma again. If she had Uiharu Kazari's help, finding a second person shouldn't be a big problem. But now, Uiharu Kazari would definitely not help Shirai Kuroko find a second person.

So what should Shirai Kuroko do?

Find one among the 2.3 million people in Academy City?

Moreover, as the second-ranked LV5, his identity must be quite important, and very few people would know anything about him.

"In the end, there's still no way to solve it!"

Shirai Kuroko was in a dilemma. The most serious problem was not that she couldn't find a second person. If she really couldn't find a second person and couldn't find Shokuhou Misaki, Shirai Kuroko would at most have an emotion in her heart that she couldn't let go of.

The biggest problem is the reason she gave when she came out—she promised Misaka Mikoto that she would come to find Momo!

What should I do now that I can't find it? Should I go back empty-handed and continue lying to Misaka Mikoto?

It seems this is the only way, after all, Shirai Kuroko is clearly still afraid to reveal the truth.

Otherwise, her older sister would probably rush out of Tokiwadai immediately, and even the dormitory supervisor wouldn't be able to stop her.

What should I do...?

With no clue what to do, Shirai Kuroko simply wandered around the entire Academy City, flying east and flashing west, before finally appearing at the edge of a secluded little square.

"Seriously, it just rained and there's not a soul in sight. I doubt the delinquents will come out... Huh!"

Just as Shirai Kuroko was holding her head, increasingly hesitant, she unexpectedly spotted her older sister!

Brown hair, Tokiwadai school uniform, white foam socks—everything was so familiar.

Just by looking at that back view, Shirai Kuroko could see her older sister's figure through the school uniform and determine that this person was her older sister.

How did her older sister end up here?

Did she actually sneak out again after leaving, all for that damn ape?

While Shirai Kuroko was hesitating about whether or not she should go see her older sister, she suddenly noticed that something was wrong with her older sister.

When did her older sister start wearing military goggles and carrying a shotgun on her back?

That's absolutely impossible!

This look... how could she possibly be her older sister?

But this figure definitely belongs to her older sister!

What exactly is going on?

Seeing this, Shirai Kuroko remained silent for a few seconds before quietly following after the strangely dressed older sister.

She wanted to see what secrets lay behind this.

Second update

122 Happy? You have no right to be.

Accelerator was getting impatient; he had been standing there for quite some time.

This time, it wasn't the inferior replicas participating in the experiment that were late, but rather Accelerator who arrived an hour early.

Accelerator did this simply because he knew that the plan for the Level 1 experiment had changed.

A few days ago, Misaka 9886 was kidnapped by unknown people, forcing Accelerator's experimental project to be terminated.

As part of his experiment, he not only had to fight the Misaka Sisters, but also had to kill them after each battle, using their deaths as the marker for the end of the experiment.

But he failed a few days ago.

Accelerator originally thought it was no big deal, after all, it was just one. He had already killed tens of thousands of people, so why would he care about one more?

However, things clearly didn't go as Accelerator expected, and the outcome seemed quite serious.

What awaited One-Way Pass was the notification that the experiment was temporarily suspended, a notification that alone was enough to make One-Way Pass disbelieve.

Does that mean the experiment should be stopped just because he killed one less Misaka Sister?

Is this some kind of joke? Is this experiment really that fragile? If so, then what about the nearly ten thousand Misaka Sisters he killed before?

Accelerator's anger and disbelief were of no use, because it was the researchers who controlled everything, not him. Although he possessed great strength, he could only use that strength to kill.

So all Accelerator could do was wait patiently for the researchers to inform him of the next course of action.

Later, Accelerator also learned about this, and the researchers submitted the incident to the Tree Design Diagram, asking it to recalculate the experimental plan. Today, the Tree Design Diagram has finally provided the answer.

This answer, however, was completely unbelievable to Accelerator.

The general direction of the experiment remained unchanged, but the specific experimental procedures were altered.

Originally, each experiment was supposed to end with him killing the Misaka Sisters. But now, in today's 9887th experiment, he will change the killing of the Misaka Sisters to subduing them, and ensure that the Misaka Sisters are not harmed in any way.

What... is this?

When Accelerator learned of this change, his first reaction was to crush the body of the person who came to inform him!

Is such a frivolous change to the plan really meaningful? Is it really the experimental plan given by that tree-shaped design diagram?

Accelerator wouldn't have doubted the tree-structured design, since it had never made a mistake since it started operating... at least not until today.

Today, the tree-shaped design diagram has an error, and Accelerator naturally knows about it, since he is not completely detached from society.

Although some people later explained that the error was due to external factors, these events today have given many people, such as Accelerator, who never thought that a tree-structured design could go wrong, a real wake-up call.

Everyone realized at the same time that the tree-structured design was still just a machine, not a person.

It is a machine whose function is to calculate, rather than to actually predict the future or determine the truth.

Why do you say that?

This is because every piece of data used in the tree-structured design diagram still requires human input for calculation. No matter how advanced the tree-structured design diagram is as a computing device, if there are errors in the input data during the calculation, the tree-structured design diagram will inevitably give an incorrect answer.

This is not complicated; it's just that too many people are blinded by the grand effect of tree-structured diagrams and don't realize it.

Now, Accelerator has realized this.

He thus realized a problem that prevented him from judging the situation.

That is……

The Absolute Ability User Experiment was such a massive experiment, with so many conditions and data, much of which was collected from various sources, such as his and the third person's ability data. Only after this data was input into a tree-structured design diagram did the experimental basis for the Absolute Ability User Experiment emerge.

So what if these data are not entirely accurate, or even contain errors?

What if these data change during the execution of these plans? For example, what if Accelerator's physical data changes, or what if the actual physical data and combat awareness of different Misaka Sisters change due to unforeseen factors?

Undoubtedly, the tree-structured design diagram is only responsible for calculations, not for predicting these data, and it certainly does not introduce the deviations caused by changes in these data into the Absolute Ability Plan in advance.

This means one thing...

The Absolute Ability Project is not an absolute success, just as the tree-shaped design failed to predict the timing of rain today.

Even more so, the Absolute Ability Project might be a flawed plan from the outset, due to some minor data points, leading to an incorrect outcome.

If, as Accelerator believes, this experiment was indeed a mistake...

What is the point of all that Accelerator did as a Level 5 participant in the Absolute Ability Project, and all the tens of thousands of Misaka Sisters who died at his hands?

Today, the experiment has started again, but the conditions for the battle have changed, which has intensified Accelerator's worries and made him anxious.

This anxiety even made Accelerator restless, so he arrived an hour early.
