So much so that by the time she finally bought it and returned, Kuroko had already woken up and was sitting on her bed glaring at her.

"What are you holding in your hand?" Shirai Kuroko asked sternly. "Computer parts? Are you trying to get... ugh, to keep me unconscious, by feeding me this kind of despicable drug?"

Tina said she had no idea what computer parts meant: "...My supercomputer doesn't need any new parts...and there are no powdered parts either."

"It's necessary! You're a completely defective product without an intelligence module! My sister is going to fight the strongest No. 1 in Academy City! You not only didn't stop her, but you're pushing her into a fire pit!! You're a pig!!!"

Tina felt wronged after being subjected to a barrage of criticism, while the haters seemed to enjoy their insults so much that their tear ducts were on the verge of bursting.

Tina knew why Kuroko had woken up but remained there waiting for her to return.

Knowing full well yet unable to help, Kuroko-sama must be in so much pain, right? ...Pain? Why... do I feel a little empathetic? What happened to being a robot? The emotions I learn are just data descriptions... But this feeling... is it because it's something I was born with... or because of the full-force stimulation from Misaki Shokuhou?

Tina didn't realize that every thought that popped into her mind was an attempt to accept the "emotional abnormalities" exhibited by her body.

...She is also striving to find her true self.

The reason Kuroko stayed here was simple: she couldn't remember the long list of experimental coordinates. The 23rd school district of Academy City was so vast that instead of blindly searching like looking for a needle in a haystack, she should just ask Tina, the person involved who had investigated the results.

"The experimental coordinates tell me! You can stay out of it, but Kuroko won't let your sister face the darkness alone!"

Her eyes seemed to spit fire, her burning gaze having the illusion of stinging the skin.

Tina shook her head and refused: "Impossible. Lady Misaka repeatedly warned me that she doesn't want to see you forced into a dangerous situation because of her."

"Then why didn't you go and save her...!!"

"Because Misaka-sama also said that the matter of the Misaka Sisters is a private matter exclusively for A Certain Scientific Railgun, and no one else is allowed to interfere."

"So it was all just an excuse! I've never understood why you acknowledged my older sister as your master. Turns out... you just wanted to harm her!!"

The trolls pressed on relentlessly, their every word as sharp as a knife.

"I...I...I didn't..."

Tina retreated step by step, her gaze already too afraid to meet hers. Her AI was struggling with several choices, and was on the verge of exploding.

"I've never seen Academy City's No. 1, but the 9000th experiment proves that he has already killed more than 9,000 Misaka Sisters. 'Psychopath' is not even enough to describe him! Onee-sama... will definitely be in an unprecedentedly difficult battle."

Kuroko didn't say anything more, and in a very short time, he suppressed all his anger, turned around, and was about to teleport away. Before leaving, he glanced at the girl Tina with extreme disappointment:

"If you value mere orders more than your sister's life, then I have misunderstood you. You are indeed... a robot, but a cold-blooded, ruthless, and very annoying one."

"..."

'Bang————'

Tina threw out a powerful stun grenade first, and while Kuroko was briefly stunned, Tina knocked him unconscious with a chop to the neck.

Holding Kuroko's small body, she put him back on the bed and pulled the blanket up.

The girl stood on the edge of the bed, looking at the unconscious Kuroko, her profile reflected in the bright moonlight, and said softly as if making a firm decision:

“If it’s a defective product, it’s not surprising that it disobeys orders.”

"Lord Kuroko, I will bring back our Onee-sama, not a single hair of hers..."

...

【Ta143 Vs Accelerator! (Part 1)】

"..."

“My sister isn’t involved in the experiment, and even if she’s following Misaka, she doesn’t have the authority to change the direction of the experiment,” Misaka advised.

The night sky was thicker than usual tonight, covering all the stars and the moon, making the sky appear exceptionally dark.

Misaka Sisters No. 9982 is conducting her planned experiment as scheduled.

She stood in front, and one step behind the Misaka Sisters was the real Misaka Mikoto.

“It doesn’t necessarily take authority to change things…” Misaka Mikoto pursed her lips, her smile as confident as ever, her brown eyes defiant and untamed. “I will use my Railgun to end this plan myself! Besides, as a fellow Level 5, I’ve long wanted to see the ever-always-above-the-top Academy City No. 1.”

"The No.1 of Academy City, the leader among the seven Level 5 espers, and also the main subject of the experiments, is named 'Accelerator.' He's a student at 'Long Point Computer Academy,' his age and gender are unknown, and his ability is Level 5 'Vector Manipulation.'" Misaka dutifully added this explanation for her older sister.

As she said this, Misaka gave a dry "heh heh" laugh. The night wind blew by, seeping through her clothes and into her skin, and the sudden chill sent a shiver down her spine.

"Vector operations?"

“Yes, vector operations,” Misaka affirmed.

Misaka Mikoto frowned, deep in thought. A moment later, the Misaka Sisters spoke up:

"The experimental subject, Accelerator, has undergone 9981 experiments. The data and intelligence analysis recorded from each experiment are shared with the Misaka Network for the next experimental subject to refer to in formulating experimental plans..."

"Stop talking!!!" Misaka Mikoto suddenly stopped, covered her ears and shouted.

She knew perfectly well what 9981 experiments meant... What was most infuriating was that the Misaka Sisters actually regarded her as an "experimental subject"? To view her life in this way and accept a death orchestrated by others was something she could never accept!

However, Misaka Sisters ignored Mikoto, and even when Mikoto stopped, she continued walking forward, her voice still coming from ahead.

"...Through repeated experiments (battles), analysis, integration, and formulation of plans most likely to kill the target, the Misaka Network, composed of the 'Sisters,' plays a crucial role. And the older sister, as the original body of the 'Sisters,' shares the same brainwaves and can download information from the Misaka Network if she so chooses. Misaka is so sincere in solving problems for the older sister."

Misaka Mikoto was taken aback, paused for a moment, then quickly followed and asked, "Why are you helping me? You should know that my purpose is to stop the experiment."

"My experiment didn't include preventing my sister from sabotaging it. As for why I helped my sister... Misaka doesn't know either, or maybe it's just because my sister is my sister, nothing more." Misaka replied coquettishly.

After saying that, Misaka Mikoto let out a coquettish "meow," though it was a completely flat tone and lacked any of the coquettish intonation one would expect.

In fact, the person who planned the experiment did not believe that Misaka Mikoto had the ability to hinder the experiment.

The younger sister's simple and unpretentious cuteness skills have won over A Certain Scientific Railgun's heart.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony. I will seek justice for those... sisters who are no longer here!"

After connecting to the Misaka Network.

Misaka Mikoto was stunned by the dazzling array of [information] entries that filled her field of vision. It wasn't just analytical data about Accelerator, but also things like this—

[Learning Sharing Area (Life)]

[The rich aroma of red bean coffee? — 390 likes, 3 dislikes]

[Blue and white panties? -- 10072 likes, 0 dislikes]

[Strawberry pudding? Coffee pudding? — "Which Misaka submitted the question? Please specify!"]

[Is my older sister a tsundere? -- 10072 likes, 0 dislikes]

[Big sister's safety shorts? -- Likes x0, Dislikes x999999... (160,000 people)]

[Management Area]

[Experiment Progress Post]

[Regarding the "Safety Pants" study post in the study section, please do not manipulate the data. Thank you for your cooperation. —Misaka 20001 (Last Work)]

“Zizizizizizizizizizi————!!!”

Just moments ago she was determined to save her sisters, but after connecting to the Misaka Network, Misaka Mikoto gritted her teeth, seething with rage.

"Do you really have to hold such a grudge about these trivial things?"

“It’s not insignificant at all; it’s second only to the experiment in importance,” Misaka retorted. ▼_▼

Okay, experiment... Misaka Mikoto almost went off-topic again, so she quickly focused on reading on.

[Experimental Area]

[“One-way”]

[“Vector Operations”]

—"By simply touching the skin, one can freely manipulate the direction of all energy, including kinetic, thermal, and electrical energy. This ability can 'reflect' all physical attacks..."

[“All failed attack methods to date”]

—[Firearms], [Poison Gas], [Assassination]...

[“Experiment 9981 Protocol”]

—[Lure the target to the landmine and kill it.]

[Predicted Results of Experiment 9981]

The location of this experiment was a secluded alleyway far from the center of the Seventh School District, and very close to a huge, empty sandy area piled with steel and large containers.

As the appointed time approached 9 PM, the Misaka Sisters turned to say goodbye: "Onee-sama, until we meet again."

Misaka Mikoto smiled slightly, responded with an "Oh," and then knocked out number 9982 with a brick.

In these suburban areas where group fights frequently break out, you can pick up bricks anywhere.

There happened to be a teacher (security guard) living not far from here. After thinking it over, I realized I could make it in time.

So, Misaka Mikoto carried No. 9982 to the door of an apartment building, rang the doorbell, and left.

.

Of course, she took off the iconic goggles of the Misaka Sisters and put them on her head. Misaka Mikoto was preparing to face Accelerator as an "experimental subject".

Just as Misaka Mikoto arrived at the experimental site, the second hand had already passed the last second, and the hour hand pointed precisely to 21:00.

The subject of the experiment, or rather, his aura and clear footsteps, arrived as promised.

"Da...da...da..."

The footsteps were light and slow, as relaxed and carefree as someone strolling in the night.
