Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki

Because she saw it, she saw that the hydraulic gas tank that should have exploded several kilometers away because of her attack had been brought directly here.

The landing point was the stone giant formed by Ryoko Misaki's [clone].

A terrifying explosion occurred.

The pitch-black night was instantly illuminated, the light as if it were daytime.

Everything around was destroyed; even the stones and steel bars melted under the terrifying heat.

The stone giant formed from the clone was naturally scattered and destroyed in the terrifying explosion.

However, the area inside the protective shield remained completely unaffected by the explosion.

Whether it was the terrifying heat, the flying debris, or the aftershocks of the explosion.

None of it can be transmitted here.

"Her? I hope she's alright!"

Now that she was protected, Misaka Mikoto didn't have time to question Haramura Makoto about why he was there.

He stared intently at the epicenter of the explosion, his voice filled with worry and concern.

"You're still the same as before, you haven't changed at all."

Makoto Haramura curled his lip.

"Even though this guy was preparing for a terrorist attack, he was still worried about her life."

"Besides, this guy isn't a human life form, is he?"

You don't need much, or even any information at all.

With just a quick glance, Makoto Haramura roughly understood the form of existence of the guy opposite him.

To put it simply, this guy looks a lot like Misaka Mikoto.

However, Misaka Sisters are clones, artificial life forms created by having DNA records.

However, this creature is a mechanically synthesized artificial life form, but within the artificial life form, there is also artificial muscle tissue.

Well, if you really want to be precise, you could call them cyborgs.

In terms of existential significance, such beings are not even as meaningful as Misaka Sisters.

At least that's how it is with Makoto Haramura.

"But……"

Misaka Mikoto stamped her foot anxiously.

She also knew that what Haramura Makoto said was right. Haramura Makoto did not know the situation, but she, who had a general understanding of the situation, knew that perhaps killing this "clone" was the most correct choice.

However, knowing is knowing.

But that doesn't mean she can accept it psychologically.

"Alright, alright!"

"I see."

Makoto Haramura waved his hand.

"Don't worry, I was just teasing you."

"It was just a hydraulic gas cylinder explosion, so the damage wasn't that great."

"And based on what I last saw, she took protective measures."

"In the end, at most it will just be a serious injury."

As Makoto Haramura spoke, the azure barrier began to dissipate in the wind.

"See, I told you it was a serious injury."

Makoto Haramura shrugged and pointed to the opposite side.

Following the direction pointed out by Makoto Haramura, Misaka Mikoto went to look for it.

The stone giant had been completely blasted apart by the explosion, just like his own iron sand giant.

but.

Scattered on the ground were not only the fragments of the disintegrated stone giant, but also a large number of naked bodies of Ryoko Misaki's [clones].

This number is no longer something that can be determined by sight alone.

Of course, the only common feature is that these bodies all suffered burns of varying degrees.

Some were completely burned black, and apart from the fact that they used to be human, nothing else could be seen.

Some only have small areas of skin burned.

"How is this going?"

Misaka Mikoto's eyes had turned into the shape of mosquito coils, forming concentric circles.

"Hard to say."

“These clones are indeed real matter, not illusions.”

As he spoke, Makoto Haramura stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers.

The space in front of them trembled.

A girl, completely unconscious, with alternating brown and white skin covered in stitches and two burn marks on her thighs, had fallen to this spot.

"Her quality is higher than the others; she is the most special among them. She is probably the real one."

"You can ask me anything you want to ask."

According to Makoto Haramura's original intention, he would definitely have killed this guy directly.

Regardless of the reason, this guy's behavior just now was enough to classify him as a dangerous individual, and Haramura Makoto felt no psychological burden whatsoever in killing him.

However, Misaka Mikoto would definitely not agree.

He simply took it and handed it over to this overly kind-hearted girl to handle.

(That's why I don't get along with girls like that!)

5. Looking at Misaka Mikoto, Makoto Haramura couldn't help but smile as he recalled how wary Koki was of Misaka Mikoto.

If you think about it carefully, you'll understand.

It's definitely impossible for him and Misaka Mikoto to be together. This has nothing to do with Misaka Mikoto's physical condition, but more to do with the incompatibility of their ways of thinking.

If today's protagonist were Xiao Qi...

Perhaps without even mentioning it, Xiao Qi would simply reward this guy with brain death.

Misaka Mikoto's expression was also somewhat complicated.

There's nothing she can do; even she can't keep up with the pace and speed of things happening now.

A good while passed.

Misaka Mikoto finally responded by shaking her head.

“I cannot decide her fate; the decision on how to handle her case rests with someone else.”

"If possible, you should bring her along too."

"She looks similar to her, but she's a real human. She shouldn't be too far from here."

"Oh?"

Hearing Misaka Mikoto say that, Haramura Makoto reached out and touched his chin, an idea suddenly forming in his mind.

The corners of his mouth slowly curved upwards.

"Leave it to me, I'll look for it."

Instantly, the immense magical power combined with spiritual power spread out like rolling waves, expanding in all directions.

The next second.

The fluctuations in magic stopped.

Makoto Haramura, who had been keeping his eyes closed, slowly opened them.

Immediately afterwards, a girl who looked almost identical to the clone lying on the ground appeared here again, using spatial teleportation, just like the clone had appeared before.

"ah!"

"It hurts, it hurts so much!!"

The girl who suddenly appeared here was rubbing her buttocks, her delicate features all twisted together, forming a mess.

"Your ability is really convenient."

"Even more convenient than Kuroko's abilities."

Misaka Mikoto's expression was much simpler.

She could only look on with envy. To be honest, she had been envious of the abilities of those with spatial powers for a long time.

The ability to go anywhere at will is far superior to her electric shock ability.

"A Certain Scientific Railgun? How did I get here...?"

Rubbing her badly injured head, the girl opened her eyes and the first thing she saw was Misaka Mikoto. But when she saw her clone lying in front of her, barely breathing, she couldn't say a word.

As for Makoto Haramura?

She completely ignored it.

"Let me introduce you, this is Ryoko Misaki, this is..."

Ryoko Misaka may have forgotten about Misaka, but Misaka Mikoto certainly couldn't be forgotten.

So she went up to explain the current situation to Haramura Makoto, but Haramura Makoto directly refused.

No further words were spoken, and the conversation ended abruptly.

"Alright, I understand the general situation now."

"I can only say that the city is still the same as always, but researchers like her who can be so ruthless to themselves are truly rare."

Makoto Haramura's tone changed subtly.

The original calm and indifferent attitude transformed into a complex mix of emotions including anger, disdain, and pity.

"To cut oneself into two parts and fuse them with the artificial life form mechanical body, thereby damaging and splitting the soul within the body."

"After nurturing the two bodies for a sufficient period of time, the flesh and blood are then separated, and the mechanical parts are reassembled."

"What, are you trying to prove the existence of the soul?"

Makoto Haramura is not skilled in matters of the soul.

However, at his level, he could apply his knowledge to many things, and examining the condition of the two experimental subjects in front of him was a piece of cake.

His anger stemmed from a simple reason.

That is, he can no longer act casually towards these experimental subjects as he has in the past.

This made him very unhappy.

I'm genuinely annoyed.

Driven by deep-seated resentment, he never hesitated to kill, even if the person had nothing to do with him and hadn't offended him; he could do it without any psychological burden.

However, having grown up in the lower rungs of Academy City and witnessed its darkness, he still has things he hates the most.

Among these most detestable things are those crazy scientists.

These beasts are all only thinking of themselves.

As long as their research data is successful, they will not feel the slightest remorse, no matter how many people are sacrificed or how many souls become victims in the process.

Therefore, Makoto Haramura hates this type of guy very much.

He felt even more justified in targeting this kind of guy.

But the woman in front of me is different.

She didn't use innocent people as test subjects; instead, she used herself as the test subject.
