Although she had promised Tang Hao, Misaka Mikoto was still hesitant when it came down to it. No matter what, her younger sisters were 'born' with her as their template. They had the same genes, the same blood, and … the same appearance.
Now, she was going to send her younger sisters to Tang Hao's place to help him with the household chores. After all, they were just like maids, and there were many of them in the academy city. It was a good thing for her younger sisters. After all, Tang Hao's world was very peaceful. There were no messy things. Under Tang Hao's protection, her younger sisters could at least live a worry-free life. However, Misaka Mikoto still felt uncomfortable about it.
In reality, Misaka Mikoto had mixed feelings about her younger sisters. From the moment she heard about it from Tang Hao to the moment she saw her clones in front of her, she felt her scalp go numb. It was even … difficult to accept it.
She had heard about her story in the chatroom. She knew that if it was not for the chatroom's intervention, more than ten thousand of her younger sisters would have died. Even she would have been involved in this ridiculous incident.
It was true that in that world, she had risked her life countless times to save her younger sisters. Not only did she fight against the dark forces of the school city like the Black Ops, she was even willing to die. But was that really because she cared for and loved her younger sisters?
She did not think so.
In her opinion, the biggest reason was the guilt she felt. It was because of her ignorance when she was young that more than ten thousand lives were lost. They died because of her. Even if her hands were not stained with blood, they were stained with it. She could not bear the sin of more than ten thousand deaths. That was why she chose such an extreme method to try to make up for it and redeem herself.
At the end of the day, it was all for her own sake.
She was not that kind after all.
So, now that such a tragedy hadn't happened, she could completely stand in her own perspective and look at her younger sisters in a more three-dimensional way. After abandoning her feelings of guilt and thoughts of self-redemption, she still couldn't find the right way to accept her younger sisters' existence.
Because her younger sisters were independent individuals, but also like her avatars. They wore her appearance and did things that she didn't know about in places that she didn't know about. She didn't even know how many things would affect her and what the consequences would be … Just thinking about it was enough to make her scalp tingle.
She had tried to ask the people around her what they would think if they had many clones.
The answers he received were almost unanimous. They either couldn't accept it, or they didn't want to meet it. Some even expressed disgust.
Perhaps that was how a normal person would think. If she had known about this before, she would have had a similar reaction. But things had already happened, and she knew what kind of fate her sisters were facing. Now that things had come to this, she could no longer say that she could not accept it or even feel disgusted.
However, she was temporarily unable to look at her younger sisters with a normal heart like she did with Blackie, Chu Chun, and the others.
Therefore, when Bee-eating Cao Qi took the initiative to take care of her younger sisters, she felt relieved.
Since she did not know how to face it, choosing to run away was not a bad idea.
"Ah, I found her, I found her!"
When the figure in uniform and goggles appeared in her line of sight, Misaka Mikoto immediately yelled and ran toward him. She looked as cheerful and optimistic as ever. There was no hindrance in her communication with her younger sisters. She had a carefree smile on her face … at least on the surface.
No matter how conflicted she was, she would not show it on her face.
"Big Sister." The figure in front of her stopped and turned to look at Misaka Mikoto.
"Why are you here? Can you come out openly now?"
"Misaka's physical treatment has ended. Other than the younger sisters who were sent to different places around the world, the remaining younger sisters in Campus City can choose to serve as plainclothes patrol officers in Campus City. This is to make the best use of everything. Therefore, Misaka's identity is legal. Look, this is Misaka's ID … Misaka explained the situation seriously and showed it off to Big Sister."
"Making the best use of everything." Misaka Mikoto smiled awkwardly. She knew that this was most likely Aresta's arrangement. On one hand, it was to show his goodwill, and on the other hand, it was reasonable for him to distribute his younger sisters around Campus City.
She looked at the ID. Other than the lack of a photo, it looked quite decent.
"Hmm … You're number 9982? Come to think of it, all of you look exactly the same. I'm not sure if I've seen you before. "
"If you're referring to this individual, this is Misaka's first time meeting Big Sister. Since Misaka was created based on Big Sister's genes, all of his younger sisters look the same. Big Sister, instead of complaining about why Misaka's younger sisters look the same, why don't you complain about why you only have one face? Misaka is trying to use fallacious reasoning …"
"Ah, I know. I'm just saying. You don't have to be so long-winded." Misaka Mikoto interrupted him impatiently. She mumbled, "I didn't know that you have such a sharp tongue."
"A sharp tongue is a unique personality and way of speaking. It's one of the cuter traits in the ACG world. Thank you for the compliment, Big Sister. Misaka said happily. Speaking of which, why is Big Sister here? It's still class time. Did Big Sister sneak out to do something bad? If that's the case, Misaka has the right to arrest Big Sister and send her to school … In order to prevent Big Sister from going down the wrong path, Misaka made a serious threat. "
"You're so annoying!" Misaka Mikoto stomped her foot as electric currents surged from her forehead. She smiled like a boss. "First of all, I didn't skip class. Second of all, I didn't break the law. I'm free to do whatever I want in Gakuen City. Besides, even if I did something bad like kicking a vending machine, do you think you can arrest me?"
"Ah … it's not right to bully the weak. Misaka pretended to fall to the ground after being shocked by Big Sister's electric current. He pretended to be pitiful and tried to gain Big Sister's sympathy. "
"Hey … What sympathy?" Misaka Mikoto was speechless. She lowered her head and looked at the younger sister. "The way you speak has already exposed your thoughts."
"Huh?" The younger sister was stunned. Then …
"Misaka is in the middle of a vending machine …"
The next moment, the younger sister really acted like a robot. White smoke kept coming out of her head and her already astigmatic eyes became even dimmer.
Misaka Mikoto was shocked. "Are you a robot?!"
The younger sister blinked and came back to her senses. At the same time, she said quickly, "Warning! Warning! Misaka has discovered his sisters' weakness. According to the on-site investigation, Misaka's way of speaking will leak information about him. To prevent future operations from being inconvenient, Misaka has requested the Misaka Network Terminal to change the way his sisters speak … The request has been rejected. This is a setting that cannot be changed. "
"What the hell …" The corner of Misaka Mikoto's mouth twitched. She scratched her head and remembered her purpose of coming here. She then asked, "Oh right, do you remember Tang Hao?"
"Tang Hao, alias Tang Ritian. He was the main person who stopped the Absolute Ability Project. He was the one who saved the younger sisters. He established the Ritian Organization in Campus City. The current members of the organization are Yi Fang Tong, Misaka Mikoto, Beeater Cao Qi, and the Black Sect's [Tool] … "
'The Ritian Organization? 'Didn't they disband a long time ago?'
Misaka Mikoto looked at each other. It had been a while since Tang Hao left this world and he had not returned. It was as if the Ritian Organization that he jokingly mentioned did not exist. She did not expect the younger sisters to remember it so clearly. Moreover … since when did she become his subordinate? 'I've never joined the Ritian Organization at all!'
Misaka Mikoto coughed twice. She was too lazy to dwell on the matter. She then said, "Since you know, it's easy. He's currently lacking some manpower and needs your help. No matter what, he's helped you before, so I'm here to ask for your opinion."
"Misaka is duty-bound to do so. However, Misaka's power … Misaka expressed his unease. "
"Ah, it has nothing to do with power. His world is quite peaceful, so he doesn't need you to fight. Instead, you need to do some housekeeping … Well, it's something like a maid or a butler. He doesn't need a lot of people, three at most," Misaka Mikoto said. That was because each member could only carry three pendants.
"Maid? Misaka understands now. Misaka is definitely up to the task. Misaka is very interested in accepting big sister's request. "
As soon as 9982 said that, before Misaka Mikoto could react, Misaka's network was filled with different opinions. Of course, it was not rejection, but …
"That's despicable, 9982. Although you're in charge of the task, you don't have the right to make the decision … Misaka 10031 said enviously. "
[I second the motion. There are only three openings for maids, and there are thousands of girls left in Campus City. For the sake of fairness, we must draw lots to decide who will be the maids … Misaka 2233, do your best to fight for this opportunity.]
"Seconded …"
"Seconded …"
"Seconded …"
"Then, don't the girls who aren't in Campus City have human rights? Misaka 9527, who had been sent to China and lost the opportunity to be a maid, complained. "
"Misaka also wants to be a maid … Misaka 17000 from England said."
"Although I don't know why you guys want to be maids, Misaka saw a man knocking down a three-meter-tall black bear with his bare hands just now … Misaka 10777, who has Russian citizenship, said in shock."
"Please don't talk about irrelevant topics, Misaka 10777!"
"System Notification: Misaka 10777 has been kicked out of Misaka's network by the terminal."
"Misaka also wants to be a maid! Misaka Misaka said childishly. "
"Misaka 20001, you're the Commander Tower of Misaka's network. You can't leave this world, please behave yourself … Misaka 10032 is seriously warning you."
"Sob sob sob, I don't care, I don't care. Misaka Misaka wants to be a maid!"
"By the way, have you guys made your decision?" Misaka Mikoto asked impatiently when she noticed that her sister did not respond for a long time.
"Please wait for a moment, big sister. The Misaka are drawing lots …" Misaka Mikoto explained patiently.
"Drawing lots?" Misaka Mikoto was stunned. If they were drawing lots, did that mean that there were many people who wanted to go? Why? It was just a babysitting job … Misaka Mikoto could not understand her sisters.
Misaka Mikoto could guess that the competition would be intense when she saw how anxious her sister's calm face was. She did not rush her sister anymore and waited patiently at the side.
Half an hour later, the candidates were finally decided. A total of three Misaka sisters, including 9982, appeared in front of Misaka Mikoto.
"Let's start the teleportation now. Although it's the first teleportation, there shouldn't be any danger. Once you're there, just look for Tang Hao … Also, remember your identities. You're not a prop or a robot, you're a girl. You have to be reserved. Don't do whatever Tang Hao says, especially when you're bathing and changing your clothes. Make sure to close the door!"
Misaka Mikoto patiently warned the three Misaka sisters. She only chose to teleport when the three of them agreed.
"Phew, I hope nothing strange will happen …" She did not relax when the three of them disappeared from her sight. Instead, she became even more nervous. She hesitated for a long time and was about to look for Tang Hao to ask about the situation.
Right at this moment, a figure appeared beside her with a swoosh.
"Someone's looking for you."
A cold voice came from beside her ear.
Misaka Mikoto turned around and saw that the person was not a stranger. It was the guide, Dan Xi.
Since the experiment on the Absolute Ability User had not started and Beeater Manipulation was done properly, the incident of Dan Xi stealing the experiment data in the original novel had naturally disappeared.
A moment later, Misaka Mikoto arrived at the building that had no windows or doors.
Today, Aresta was still hanging upside down. He opened his eyes and smiled. "Did you send them to other worlds?"
"Yes." Misaka Mikoto knew that she could not hide it from Aresta, so she admitted it without hesitation.
"Is it Tang Hao?"
"That's right."
Alresta narrowed his eyes. "I remember that the people who came to this world in the past were all members of the chatroom. Although it was said that we can bring different clones to other worlds, only three clones were teleported. You didn't leave, and I didn't sense any outsiders entering the campus city. So, this should be a new function of the chatroom. In other words … your chatroom has been upgraded?"
'As expected of the chairman, he can even guess that!'
Misaka Mikoto was slightly surprised.
Aresta saw the change in her expression and knew that he had guessed correctly. He asked, "So, did he say when he'll let me join the group?"
"Uh …" Misaka Mikoto blinked. "He said that he's already doing it. He won't let you down in the year 9102."
Aresta was speechless …
