However, she still needs to observe to find out the specifics of what happened.

Then, she saw Misaki Shokuhou.

"Shokuhou..."

Shirai Kuroko instinctively wanted to shout, but immediately shut her mouth, not only because she realized the current situation, but also because she was stunned by the current state of Shokuhou Misaki.

Misaki Shokuhou... seems to be dead.

She leaned against the headboard, curled up in a ball, her hands gripping the blankets tightly to cover her chest, but only covering the area below her chest. She seemed unaware that her sides, shoulders, and large expanses of her fair skin were exposed.

Moreover, on Misaki Shokuhou's body, Shirai Kuroko clearly saw those unnatural marks, which, while not exactly bruises, were obviously man-made, left by someone's hand or other parts of her body.

What surprised Shirai Kuroko even more was Shokuhou Misaki's eyes. Shokuhou Misaki, whose eyes were always sparkling with star-shaped symbols, had a bright and clear gaze. Even though Shirai Kuroko disliked Shokuhou Misaki because of Misaka Mikoto, she had to admit that Shokuhou Misaki was indeed very beautiful. Both her figure and appearance were absolutely stunning.

In many ways, she is even more outstanding than her older sister, and more like a young lady from a wealthy family.

Now, although the star-shaped symbol in Misaki Shokuhou's eyes is still there, her eyes seem to have lost all their luster, just like a star that has lost its light and become dust in a dead universe.

What on earth happened?

Shirai Kuroko didn't want to think about it, but she had already realized that something outrageous had happened to Shokuhou Misaki.

"How could you..."

Shirai Kuroko quickly took a few steps closer, wanting to check on Shokuhou Misaki's condition, but Shokuhou Misaki suddenly became agitated and said, "Don't come any closer!"

The piercing sound was as if it contained utter despair, like someone pushed to the bottom of an abyss, only able to let out a final, desperate cry to the sky.

That was... a near-death scream.

"you……"

Kuroko Shirai's pupils contracted as she examined the marks on Misaki Shokuhou's body, becoming even more certain of her guess. The dignified Queen of Tokiwadai, with her Level 5 Mental Control, had actually been...

"Please stop looking... I'm begging you!"

Misaki Shokuhou spoke again, her low voice sounding like a final, powerless plea. The deep sorrow in her heart instantly reached Shirai Kuroko's heart, causing Shirai Kuroko to clench her fists and grit her teeth.

"Who, who is it!"

Shirai Kuroko turned her head away, following Misaki Shokuhou's instructions not to look at her current appearance. However, her sense of justice still compelled her to ask what was going on.

Even though Misaki Shokuhou is someone Shirai Kuroko dislikes, no matter who it is, Shirai Kuroko will absolutely bring them to justice for treating Misaki Shokuhou like this!

However, in response to Shirai Kuroko's anger, Shokuhou Misaki sadly shook her head and said, "It's no use. Don't ask anymore. This is not something you can handle, and you shouldn't know about all this. It's too dangerous."

Misaki Shokuhou's answer stunned Shirai Kuroko. It almost meant that Misaki Shokuhou had lost all will to resist and had instead accepted the situation.

Is this... still the same haughty and arrogant Queen Misaki Shokuhou?

However, Shirai Kuroko clearly wouldn't give up just because of a few words from Shokuhou Misaki. She approached the bed, came to Shokuhou Misaki's side, and said, "Shokuhou Misaki, you should believe me, believe in Academy City. The justice of Academy City will never let this go..."

"Don't joke around!"

Misaki Shokuhou abruptly interrupted Kuroko Shirai. Startled, Kuroko tried to say something more, but Misaki continued, "What justice... Do you know who did this to me?"

"No matter who it is... they can't compete with Academy City's laws..."

"They are board members, the highest-ranking board members of Academy City! They are the ones who make the laws and rules of Academy City!"

Misaki Shokuhou's words instantly left Shirai Kuroko speechless. The person who had done such a heinous thing to Misaki Shokuhou was actually a director of Academy City!

This kind of thing...

Even though Shirai Kuroko always upheld justice, she was also quite clear about what the so-called Past Council members meant in Academy City.

"But...but!"

Shirai Kuroko stubbornly struggled, saying, "Even a board member shouldn't do such a thing! Right, if we work together to expose this, then..."

"Then the name of Tokiwadai Queen of Academy City, the Level 5 Mind Control Master Misaki Shokuhou, will spread throughout the entire Academy City, right?"

Misaki Shokuhou's icy tone made Shirai Kuroko stiffen again.

According to Shirai Kuroko's plan, to deal with a board member, she could only rely on the power of the public, but that meant she had to make the public aware of the matter, however...

Would Misaki Shokuhou agree?

Clearly, Misaki Shokuhou chose to refuse.

"That's enough, no need to say more, Shirai Kuroko. I know you mean well, but that's enough."

Misaki Shokuhou gave a bitter smile and said, "Anyway, I'm already like this. After losing it the first time, it's the same no matter how many times I do it again. Fortunately, he only wants my body and won't use my power for anything. Let's just say..."

"I guess I'll just consider this as me finding an extremely shameless boyfriend!"

Author's Note:

P.S.: Book recommendation! One of the most notorious authors of the "Dirty Books" series, Liuli Jueji, after her previous book, *My Sister's Time*, focused on her sister, is now planning to do the same in her new book, *My Daughter's Time*. It's said to be based on her own experiences, but given the author's age, she couldn't possibly be the prototype for the father in the story… Could she be the daughter…?

Hmm, did JKing accidentally discover the truth? Oh no, should JKing run away...?

131. Don't get involved in these matters.

Misaki Shokuhou's words left Shirai Kuroko in a deep shock. If Shirai Kuroko hadn't seen Misaki Shokuhou's self-destructive and hopelessly mired state with her own eyes, she simply wouldn't have believed it was true.

What kind of power, what kind of evil, what kind of person did this to Misaki Shokuhou and turned her into this miserable state?

The inexperienced Shirai Kuroko could only use her limited imagination to conjure up images of Misaki Shokuhou's tragic fate, but even that was enough to make Shirai Kuroko's heart tremble.

Misaki Shokuhou... is broken. Unless someone saves her, she is deeply mired in the mire and has given up struggling.

This doesn't make people feel Misaki Shokuhou's weakness; instead, it makes people feel her sorrow and despair. After all, it seems that no one—whether it's Misaki Shokuhou, Shirai Kuroko, or most people in Academy City—can resist those who did these things to her.

But... if we are powerless to resist, and cannot resist, then should we really do nothing?

Logically, that should be the case. Since she was powerless to resist, why should she resist at all? In any case, the other party wasn't trying to take Misaki Shokuhou's life, but only to take her body. Misaki Shokuhou had already accepted her fate, so why should Shirai Kuroko care about any of this?

However, this reasonable thought only flashed through Shirai Kuroko's mind for a moment before disappearing.

If she leaves it alone, will she still be the righteous and courageous Shirai Kuroko?

If she does nothing, does she still have the right to be Misaka Mikoto's younger sister, or the right to call Misaka Mikoto "Onee-sama"?

Without a doubt, Shirai Kuroko couldn't stand idly by and said, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Shirai Kuroko's eyes widened as she said, "No matter what, this cannot be tolerated. He must be severely punished and brought to justice! Shokuhou Misaki, you can't just give up on yourself like this. Even if... it's true... you still have to muster up your courage and show your queenly aura!"

"Give me courage! There are so many more wonderful things in life. You can look forward and start a new life. So... don't give up on me!"

Shirai Kuroko tried to encourage Shokuhou Misaki, but how could Shokuhou Misaki be moved by such simple words? Her eyes remained unmoved, and Shokuhou Misaki said in a hoarse voice, "Today is my dangerous day."

Upon hearing this, Shirai Kuroko's face stiffened, while Shokuhou Misaki reached out and touched her lower abdomen, as if not long ago, there had been a disgusting thing of a disgusting man there.

"You should understand what this means."

Misaki Shokuhou looked at Shirai Kuroko with a blank expression and said, "The reason why all these things happened today is because he timed it perfectly, brought me here, and did these things to me."

“Not just today, but every day from today onwards, I will be subjected to the same thing. He will not allow me to leave this room, otherwise, what awaits me is a crazy attack from a director.”

At this point, Misaki Shokuhou suddenly laughed, but her laughter was unusually empty. She said, "So, his purpose is obvious, isn't it? Before long, his seed will take root and sprout in my body, and a life will appear inside me. And I will become something he values ​​even more. No one can take me away from him, not a single person."

"I'm beyond saving. Give up. I've already given up on myself, so what are you still holding on to?"

The flat tone and the harsh reality silenced Shirai Kuroko.

She didn't understand why the second-ranked person was here before, but now she understands everything. The second-ranked person in Academy City is just his lackey.

No wonder Misaki Shokuhou obediently listened and didn't use her abilities to deal with this director. It turns out that with a second person like him, who could possibly oppose him?

Furthermore, Shirai Kuroko recalled that this morning, when Shokuhou Misaki was forcibly abducted by the second person, and afterwards, the Disciplinary Committee members and security guards were actually ordered to stop investigating the matter and instead help cover up Shokuhou Misaki's whereabouts...

It turns out that all of this was due to the authority of the council members, an order from the person at the pinnacle of this academy city.

All of this filled Shirai Kuroko with a deep sense of despair and trembling.

Academy City... So this is how dark it has become? Even a powerful Level 5 can become a plaything in the hands and beneath the Board of Directors...

This kind of thing...

Suddenly, Shirai Kuroko seemed to realize something. She stared blankly at Shokuhou Misaki, seemingly too shocked to speak.

Shirai Kuroko suddenly realized that the clone who looked exactly like her older sister had also entered this place. Could it be...?

"Leave."

Misaki Shokuhou's voice also seemed to have become hoarse as she said, "Leave here. He is not someone you can fight, nor is he someone any of us can fight, unless you are prepared to overthrow the entire Academy City."

"I don't care how you got here. The moment I found you, I brought you here. Now you can leave safely."

"Forget about today, you didn't see anything. Anyway, you don't like me, and my life has nothing to do with you. This fate... I've accepted it. Maybe I'm destined to be his?"

Now, it's not Shirai Kuroko persuading Shokuhou Misaki anymore; it's Shokuhou Misaki persuading Shirai Kuroko instead.

However, Shirai Kuroko seemed to ignore Shokuhou Misaki's words, and said in a hoarse voice, "Shokuhou Misaki, can you tell me what's going on with them? You... should know, right?"

"they?"

Misaki Shokuhou was slightly taken aback, but then she realized that Shirai Kuroko had come over after encountering the Misaka Sisters.

That makes sense.

Having understood all this, Misaki Shokuhou had a thought flash through her mind, and a strange smile appeared on her lips. However, this smile vanished instantly when Shirai Kuroko looked up.

"Them..."

Shokuhou Misaki's usually expressionless face seemed to show a hint of sympathy as she said, "Didn't you already guess? Why did you make me say it out loud?"

"answer me!"

"I can tell you, they are clones of your older sister, cloned from her cells. Their birth was accelerated using drugs, taking only fourteen days to form, and then common sense was forcibly inputted using learning devices."

Misaki Shokuhou shook her head slightly and said, "However, after that, their lives can only last for about a year before they eventually die from physical collapse."

Upon hearing this, Shirai Kuroko truly trembled. Her brain was almost oxygen-deprived from shock. Why... did all this happen?!

A terrifying thought crossed Shirai Kuroko's mind, and she quickly asked, "Did that one of my sister's clones just enter this villa? Where is she? What will she do with her? What will happen to her?"

"She..."

Misaki Shokuhou's voice lowered as she said, "They came here because someone bought them for 300,000 yen. Right now, that younger sister should already be in bed. If I'm not mistaken, after tonight, she'll be sent to the hospital first thing tomorrow morning, and she'll likely need a full body overhaul before she can survive..."

"This...is their fate...Compared to them, I'm already very lucky. At least...I'm still a normal person."

Misaki Shokuhou's words echoed in Shirai Kuroko's mind, one word at a time. Shirai Kuroko's eyes reddened. The darkness she heard from Misaki Shokuhou had completely shattered the bottom line in Shirai Kuroko's heart, and shattered it again and again!
