Chapter 143 - Tony's Concerns

Seeing a room full of Gekota and various super-cute decorations and clothes, Misaka Mikoto immediately screamed excitedly. Then, she rushed in and threw herself onto the bed covered with Gekota, her face showing a dazed expression as if she was doubting if she was dreaming.

It wasn't until Shen He lightly coughed twice that she jumped up like a startled little rabbit, her face instantly turning red as she looked at Shen He's smile.

"I, I just, just..."

After stammering for a long time, she couldn't find any reason to explain her actions just now.

Her originally shy face was now as red as an apple.

"What does it matter?" Shen He walked over with a smile and reached out to gently rub Misaka Mikoto's head. "These are normal hobbies for girls. We're already a family now. You're like a little sister in my heart, so you don't need to hide anything. You can just tell me what you like."

"...Is that...so."

Misaka Mikoto didn't know what to say. Without realizing it, her hand went to her chest.

She thought of what Shen He had said at the time, "This isn't me helping you, it's you helping me." But in reality, he had, without any explanation, forcibly pulled her back from the abyss of despair.

If I had a brother, he would probably be like this, the girl thought to herself.

"However," Shen He looked at the suddenly well-behaved Misaka Mikoto, and couldn't help but feel the urge to tease her, "Mikoto, you're already a middle school student. I'm a bit worried, Master. At this rate, when will you find a boyfriend?"

"..."

Misaka Mikoto's face, which had gradually calmed down, turned red again, full of shame and anger. Finally, she raised her fist and slammed it hard into Shen He's stomach, pushing him outside the door and shouting:

"I don't want a brother like you—!"

Bang, the door was slammed shut.

"Big brother?" Shen He murmured at the door, the smile on his face unable to be contained.

Indeed, the tsundere Railgun is so interesting.

However, it seemed he had forgotten to tell her that the layout of her room was a direct copy of Misaka Mikoto Alter's room.

These two sisters, despite having such different personalities, have basically the same interests.

Accelerator, who was next to him, had no requirements for the room layout. He just needed a place to sleep. However, Lelouch walked over.

"Master, I want to prepare a room for Nunnally."

"No problem." Shen He patted his shoulder. "After Gekota's Medical Office is ready, we'll go to your world and bring Nunnally over for treatment. You can also think ahead about what you need us to do?"

"I understand." Lelouch nodded.

Having experienced a world war like this, frankly, the Britannian Empire, which he previously considered a behemoth, didn't seem particularly difficult to take revenge on anymore.

He could even ask Shen He for help, and the revenge could be accomplished in an instant.

So, he has been putting more of his energy into his sister, Nunnally, these days. Revenge was a must, but it wasn't his only focus anymore.

Shen He had been busy with various arrangements within the virtual castle, and then brought back a lot of consumable goods like food, and prepared an extraordinarily lavish dinner.

It was a celebration of the successful completion of the Toaru Majutsu no Index (A Certain Magical Index) copy activity.

After the celebration, he also held Jeanne and comfortably soaked in the castle's hot spring, then decided to rest there for the night.

He didn't go back that night, and Coulson from the Marvel World started to feel a bit nervous.

"Mr. Stark," Coulson contacted Tony directly, "The Director hasn't returned yet. Do you have any record of him returning?"

"Hmm, let me check."

Tony had already gone to bed, but seeing the slightly nervous expression on Coulson's face in the video call, he got up again.

Some places in Shen He's residence were equipped with Jarvis's projection terminals. This was at Shen He's request. Artificial intelligence was also very convenient in life and made notifications easier.

"He came back once in the evening, taking away quite a bit of food, personal belongings, and that set of cooking utensils he considers a treasure..." Tony also fell silent for a moment, but then shook his head. "There's no sign of him leaving. If he didn't teleport away, then he went to another world. We can't do anything but wait."

In fact, Tony had considered similar special situations.

He wasn't worried that Shen He would suddenly leave without saying goodbye, but rather that some accident might occur, such as being suddenly trapped in another world, or even worse.

In that case, they would have to rely on themselves to deal with the upcoming disaster.

To be honest, Tony had no confidence at all, whether it was the aliens or the great disaster that Shen He had mentioned, which caused Chaldea to decide to heavily intervene.

If he had confidence, he wouldn't have joined Chaldea. This wasn't something the arrogant Iron Man would normally do.

"Mr. Stark." Coulson hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Former Director Fury often told us that we shouldn't place the hope of saving the world on the 'unknown'. Mr. Shen He may be trustworthy, but Chaldea is completely 'unknown' to us."

Coulson couldn't help but worry.

It would have been fine before, with him leaving for a fixed hour each day.

But after being drawn into a world-level crisis in another world this time, the time he spent away from this world has greatly increased, and there's no way to contact him.

If this continues, will he be in other worlds for extended periods in the future?

What if a major crisis occurs in the Marvel World during that time?

"Before, S.H.I.E.L.D. was also completely 'unknown' to most people, right?" Tony shrugged. "When you saved the world, did you care about the worries of those ordinary people? If possible, I'd like to hack into Chaldea like I used to hack into S.H.I.E.L.D., but obviously, that's impossible."

Ever since Shen He showed Tony the videos of their battles in other worlds, Tony had been feeling a bit defeated.

He had always been proud of his wealth and intelligence, and he wanted to do something with them. But compared to what Shen He had done, what he could do seemed so insignificant, just punishing terrorists and saving some civilians. Chaldea, on the other hand, was running around saving all sorts of worlds.

"Mr. Stark, I think you should have a good talk with Mr. Shen," Coulson finally said.

He didn't say what they should talk about, but Tony understood what he meant.

They needed to know more about Chaldea.

Shen He's sudden disappearance this time was a good reason; they needed Shen He to understand their concerns.
