After this, the group continued on their way.
When night fell, Fang Zheng opened the Teleportation Gate again and sent Kuroko Shirai and Misaka Mikoto back to Academy City. Although they wished to stay and continue the adventure, Tokiwadai still had a curfew, and they had to leave and return the next day... There was no helping it; after all, time in these worlds was synchronized. If they didn't return, they'd be in serious trouble with the dorm supervisor!
Saten Reiko, however, didn't go back. There were only a few people around, and among them, Lei was closest to her, so after much consideration, Reiko decided to stay.
As for Feli… she had nowhere else to go besides here.
But it must be said, the scenery here wasn't exactly appealing.
When Kuroko Shirai and Misaka Mikoto returned to the Void Glorious Ship the next day, they still saw only ruins, wreckage, parched lands, and countless Contaminated Beasts.
"I've never seen such a desolate place…"
