In fact, if possible, Momo didn't really want the Misaka Sisters to become Heroic Spirits. If the Misaka Sisters' wish was simply to live as ordinary people, Momo would grant their wish.

Ultimately, what constitutes true happiness and joy is a decision for the Misaka Sisters themselves, and Momo will not presume to make that decision for them.

However, Momo now needs to consider future plans. Before Best truly separates Academy City, Valhalla needs nine new Servants to meet the conditions for opening the twentieth floor.

Only then will Momo be able to do what he wants to do, and what he must do.

Finding nine people is simple; Momo believes many people would be willing to become Heroic Spirits. However, Momo will be quite cautious about choosing Heroic Spirits, as this is not just a matter for Momo alone.

Without a doubt, if the Misaka Sisters were willing to become Heroic Spirits, then the path facing Momo would be much simpler.

However, Yui fell silent. After several seconds, she told Momo, "Dad... Valhalla sent back different news this time. I think you should see it for yourself."

"What exactly happened?"

Mo Mo immediately inputted the information that Yui had transferred into his mind. Even though Mo Mo was over a hundred years old and had so much life experience, he was still startled by the information fed back by Valhalla.

It's not that Momo can't recruit the Misaka Sisters as Heroic Spirits, but Momo faces a choice, a choice that Momo never expected.

The Hall of Heroes asked Momo whether to accept the individual before him as a Heroic Spirit, or to accept the concept of Misaka Sisters as a Heroic Spirit.

Soon, Mo Mo understood what the Hall of Heroes really meant.

There are two ways for Momo to recruit the Misaka Sisters as Heroic Spirits.

The first possibility is that the individual in front of us, Misaka 9887, becomes one of the Heroic Spirits, just like everyone around Momo now, becoming a new Heroic Spirit, everyone's partner.

If Momo is willing to continue allowing the Misaka Sisters to become Heroic Spirits, then each individual Misaka Sister will still become a Heroic Spirit.

However, Valhalla also gave Momo another option: to take the concept of Misaka Sisters as a unit and make her a Heroic Spirit.

In that case, all the Misaka Sisters would become Heroic Spirits as a whole, and would be attached to the concept of a certain official Heroic Spirit, becoming subordinate Heroic Spirits of that Heroic Spirit.

Just like the army of the King of Conquerors in Fate, the army of the King of Conquerors is also a Heroic Spirit, but the power they enjoy is much less than that of a real official Heroic Spirit.

If we look at it directly, then the first method seems to be the best. After all, Momo can decide the number of Servants. After Misaka becomes a Servant, she will be much stronger than the second method and will enjoy the treatment of a normal Servant.

However, the second option offered an advantage that Momo could hardly refuse.

If we consider Misaka Sisters as a concept and as a collective Heroic Spirit, then Misaka Sisters here refers to all Misaka Sisters.

All the Misaka Sisters who died at Accelerator's hands will reappear, retaining their memories from the Misaka Network. This will serve as proof that they still exist, and Valhalla will revive these Misaka Sisters.

The 9885 Misaka Sisters who have died will be reintegrated into the concept of Misaka Sisters.

No wonder Yui didn't explain to Momo in words; it was simply because the issue was too important and Momo had to make the decision.

"What's wrong, big brother? Is there something you don't want Misaka to know?"

Misaka 9887 noticed something amiss at this point and asked Mo Mo. Mo Mo seemed to realize what was going on after hearing her question, and patted Misaka 9887's head, saying, "No, I just thought it might be a bit too early to tell you now."

"This matter is too important. I can only tell you after your bodies have been fully adjusted. Otherwise, if you get too excited and have health problems, I will be devastated by the loss."

Misaka9887 blinked and nodded. She didn't know that Mo Mo suddenly didn't want to talk anymore, but since Mo Mo didn't want to talk anymore, she wouldn't ask any more questions.

After all, everything she had belonged to her brother, and all she had to do was obey him.

Afterwards, Momo chatted with Misaka 9887 for a while, inquiring about some details of the Absolute Ability User Project. Then he sent Misaka 9887 to rest and planned to take her to the Underworld Soul Chaser the next day, since physical adjustments were essential and the sooner the better.

With the restart of the experiment, the Underworld Soul Chaser will surely be extremely busy.

"Dad, what are you going to do? Which choice will you make?"

Yui asked Momo, whose eyes gradually grew serious. She said, "In the end, we should ask the Misaka sisters for their opinions. Perhaps they are the ones most qualified to decide the life and death of those sisters who have already disappeared."

"However, if I really had to make a choice... I hope I can have both."

"After all, the earliest sisters probably didn't even have any feelings, and they disappeared like puppets."

"They are the most pitiful victims in all of this."

……

Shirai Kuroko quietly hid in the shadows of a distant rooftop, watching her "older sister" step out of the second Emperor Kane's car and enter the villa.

By now, Shirai Kuroko has absolutely no idea what's going on.

However, Shirai Kuroko now understands one thing: this girl with brown hair who looks exactly like her older sister could not possibly be her older sister!

Putting aside the fact that she had called to confirm that her older sister was still in the Tokiwadai dormitory, how could such a ladylike woman as her older sister be fighting the number one with a shotgun?

Moreover... there is clearly more than one of these girls who look exactly like her older sister.

If it were just one, Shirai Kuroko might have suspected that she was Misaka Mikoto's sister or a distant relative. But seeing so many identical older sisters wearing goggles and holding guns, Shirai Kuroko's last bit of hope vanished.

There's definitely a secret behind all of this!

All of this reminded Shirai Kuroko of the legends of Academy City, one of which was seeing the same person in more than three different places on the same day.

Originally, no one paid attention to this urban legend, since it might just be a coincidence. Although many people fit the description, there was no proof, so everyone just regarded it as hearsay. After all, that's what urban legends are all about.

But now, Shirai Kuroko suddenly realizes that at least this urban legend is true!

If there really are so many people who look exactly like her older sister, then it's entirely possible to see her older sister in different places on the same street.

But what exactly is going on?

Shirai Kuroko had a vague feeling that she had encountered the darkness of Academy City, a darkness so deep it was almost unfathomable. She began to feel fear, and her body even trembled slightly.

However, now that she's here, regardless of whether this is a crime or how dark it is, Shirai Kuroko can't ignore it just because it's related to her older sister, Misaka Mikoto.

So, in the end, she decided that she had to find out what was going on no matter what.

Soon, Emperor Hagen's car left, and the girl who looked exactly like her older sister entered the villa. Shirai Kuroko decided to take action.

She was very confident in her abilities. Although this kind of villa was heavily guarded, it was only for defense in all directions, but the defense against the sky would be very weak, and there would be no cameras pointing at the sky.

In this way, Shirai Kuroko could use her ability to teleport to the roof of the villa and then find an opportunity to sneak inside and search for intelligence.

Without hesitation, Shirai Kuroko confirmed that no one was defending the rooftop before she teleported to the roof of Momo Villa. She was positioned at the edge of the roof, with a quiet room directly below her.

After listening carefully and confirming that there was no light or sign of anyone inside, Shirai Kuroko teleported into the room, preparing to find an opportunity to move again.

However, the instant Shirai Kuroko's feet touched the ground, her body suddenly stiffened, as if an unknown force had invaded her mind, taking control of her thoughts, and at the same time, a pair of star-shaped symbols appeared in her eyes.

This is the power of Misaki Shokuhou; clearly, Shirai Kuroko is being controlled by Misaki Shokuhou.

Misaki Shokuhou couldn't control Shirai Kuroko's ability, so she could only let Shirai Kuroko leave the empty room on her own, walk to the room where Misaki Shokuhou was, and push the door open and go in.

Inside, Misaki Shokuhou was still lying lazily on the bed.

After all, Misaki Shokuhou didn't want the power of the Hall of Heroes to eliminate the soreness all over her body. This was her first time proving herself with Momo, and she wanted to continue enjoying the fading afterglow. In addition, she didn't want to lose what Momo had left behind, so she only let Shirai Kuroko come over by herself.

After glancing at Shirai Kuroko a few times, Misaki Shokuhou muttered to herself, "She actually followed us here. Is this a coincidence?"

"Yui, right? Is all of this a coincidence, or does Mo Mo have his own plan?"

This was the first time Misaki Shokuhou had a formal conversation with Yui. Yui's voice immediately came through, saying, "It's a coincidence, Misaki's mother. Although Dad had a deal with Shirai Kuroko, it has no necessary connection to what happened today."

"Actually, Yui was also surprised. I bet Dad would be shocked if he saw Shirai Kuroko too, right?"

Yui spoke to Misaki Shokuhou as usual, but Misaki Shokuhou's lips twitched slightly, not for any other reason than the word "mother".

In other words, starting today, Misaki Shokuhou will go from a beautiful second-year student in Tokiwadai to the mother of a ten-year-old girl in an instant?

Third update

130 Misaki Shokuhou's Miserable Death

"What's wrong, Misaki's mom? Is there a problem? You can ask Yui any questions you have. Yui will answer them all."

Misaki Shokuhou saw Yui's sweet and lovely image before her eyes: a small face, a warm smile, and a pure white dress—she was simply an adorable little angel.

Looking at Yui's innocent smile, Misaki Shokuhou's slight embarrassment instantly dissipated. She could feel that Yui was completely sincere towards her, Misaki Shokuhou.

Moreover, Misaki Shokuhou, who is now a Heroic Spirit, knows that as Heroic Spirits, as Momo said before, they can completely rely on and trust each other, even if they don't communicate much due to their personalities.

No one has any ambition or ulterior motives. Everyone ultimately seeks the same result, and they all revolve around Momo. All of this is the foundation that puts Misaki Shokuhou at ease.

Finally, she escaped the darkness of Academy City, could have people she could completely trust, had a powerful force behind her, and no longer had to worry about her future life or even survival.

The only thing to worry about is how to continue supporting Momo in maintaining this heroic spirit's life.

And this is exactly what Misaki Shokuhou plans to do next.

"Mother Caoqi must still be adjusting, is she worried about everyone in Valhalla?"

Yui blinked, then landed on Misaki Shokuhou's shoulder, hugging Misaki's face, and said, "You can rest assured about this, Misaki-mama. Yui can guarantee 100% that everyone will definitely approve of Misaki Momo and the future Mikoto-mama."

"After all, it was you two who risked your lives to save Dad when he came into this world. Just for that reason alone, everyone will treat the two mothers as family."

Yui's words made Misaki Shokuhou laugh as well. She reached out and stroked Yui's little head, saying, "What, Mikoto hasn't even joined us yet, and you're already treating her like your mother? I bet she won't be as calm as I am when she hears those two words. She'll probably just go berserk."

"Actually, Dad can let Mikoto's mom join anytime he wants, right? It's just that Dad sometimes gets caught up in things he shouldn't be thinking about, and even Yui can't stand it anymore."

"That's right, that's right. Your father, although he's over a hundred years old, is still as stubborn as a child in many ways."

Misaki Shokuhou's smile suddenly softened, and she said, "That's exactly right. Otherwise, why would he be here, giving his all for a childhood dream?"

"But this is what I'm doing for him now. He can handle the stubbornness and hesitation on his own, but I'll take care of the decisive decisions that need to be made."

At this point, Misaki Shokuhou turned to ask, "Yui, what kind of deal did Shirai Kuroko and Momo make that day? Can't I know?"

Yui frowned, shook her head, and said, "Mama Misaki, it's not that Yui doesn't want to tell you, but it involves the power of transaction authority. Only Yui, as Dad's representative, can know about it. But that also means that Yui and Dad are one, and are also restricted by transaction authority, so I can't reveal a single thing."

Since Misaki Shokuhou became a Heroic Spirit, she naturally shares all the information in the Hall of Heroes. Whatever Yui knows, Misaki Shokuhou can also know, except for matters involving the confidentiality of transaction powers.

Therefore, Misaki Shokuhou naturally knew what had happened between Momo and Misaka Mikoto, and how far things had progressed. She also knew that Momo and Shirai Kuroko had made some kind of deal that day.

However, Misaki Shokuhou was unaware of the details of the transaction, and it was clear that neither Momo nor Yui could tell her.

"Okay, although I don't know exactly what deal Momo and Shirai Kuroko made, I can roughly guess."

Misaki Shokuhou lifted the blonde hair that was pressing down on her, sat up, and then pulled the blankets up to cover herself tightly. She smiled brightly at Yui and said, "Anyway, your father's goal is to increase the number of Servants for the sake of the Hall of Heroes, isn't it?"

"That's a perfectly legitimate reason, isn't it? Now watch me."

After saying that, Misaki Shokuhou snapped her fingers, and Shirai Kuroko, whose eyes were marked with star symbols, stiffened and regained control of her body.

Shirai Kuroko blinked, initially puzzled, but when she saw that all the scenery in front of her had changed and the lights above her head had been turned on, she instantly became alert and immediately took a defensive stance.

She knew very well that she hadn't teleported, and she certainly wouldn't have turned on the lights. She had just experienced a disconnected feeling in her brain, which made Shirai Kuroko realize that she had definitely been affected.
