"The familiar ceiling, a familiarity I truly don't want!"
After resolving the incident, Mami, bandaged all over, once again lay in that familiar hospital room, muttering.
"It seems the patient has regained consciousness. Really, the time before last, your head was almost completely ruined. We barely managed to save you, even though you lost your memory. Last time, your entire arm looked like it had been run over by a large truck from the inside. And next time it'll be like this again. Girl, you need to cherish life!"
Heaven Canceller said with a sigh, as if he had a headache over this frequent patient.
"Do you share the same interest as me, an unusual interest in the nurse's uniform?"
After confirming no one was around, the frog doctor quietly asked Mami.
"How could that be? Who would get themselves admitted to the hospital every day just to see nurse uniforms!"
Mami, angered by the frog doctor's words, retorted loudly. Although she was a bit gay, she really wasn't a uniform fetishist. Hmm! Imagining Yowane in a nurse uniform, smiling at her… oh no.
"If you're not a comrade, you should have said so earlier! Don't get so angry, you're even getting a nosebleed."
The frog's face showed a look of regret, but seeing Mami's 'angered' nosebleed, the frog began to comfort her.
Wiping away the nosebleed without a trace, Mami, feeling a little guilty, snorted at the frog doctor.
"That little girl Yowane has a new song out recently. Want to hear it?"
"Yes, yes, yes, give it to me quickly."
Seeing Mami still 'angry', the frog finally brought up Yowane. Anyway, it wouldn't cause much loss to Yowane. However, he didn't expect Mami to be so excited, which made him quickly hand over the player to Mami. After glancing at Mami, who was happily listening to the song, Heaven Canceller sighed and walked out of the ward.
"Misaka 00651 is very happy to see Big Sister Yowane and begins to report some recent actions of the higher-ups to Big Sister Yowane. Misaka expresses her incomprehension of these people, but Misaka wants the Misakas to live happily. Misaka states her thoughts and begins to report the situation to Big Sister Yowane."
"I understand your feelings. Don't worry, I won't let them off easy."
Looking at the small Misaka beside her and listening to her somewhat dissatisfied words, Yowane said to Misaka with both comfort and a sigh.
"Yes! Misaka is very grateful to Big Sister Yowane for giving her a second life. Misaka believes there are still many good people in this world. Misaka says with full confidence in her new life."
The small Misaka, whose head Yowane was stroking, waved her fists and spoke with great spirit.
"Alright, go back now! Get some good rest and recuperate."
"Yes! Misaka waved her arms as she bid farewell to Big Sister Yowane and walked away."
"Be careful on the way."
From the departing figure of the small Misaka Sister, Yowane seemed to see a longing for a beautiful future life. That vibrant aura was truly captivating. This was also why she helped the Misaka Sisters. If the Misaka Sisters were truly just dolls, probably few people would care about them. But they had the consciousness of life, the instinct to think for themselves. How could such beautiful beings not be loved by people?
"They are truly a group of worrying children. You heard it too, didn't you?"
After sighing, Yowane spoke to the corner of the wall. As Yowane's words fell, Shokuhou slowly walked out from the corner.
"I heard. Count me in for this operation."
Shokuhou looked at Yowane with determination. Dolly's death made her clearly realize that she too could have friends who genuinely cared for her. Why couldn't she let go of Misaka Mikoto even now? It was because of Dolly that she could never forgive Misaka Mikoto. But for the Misaka Sisters, she would risk her life to save them.
"This time, I cannot let you participate."
"Why…"
Looking at Shokuhou like that, Yowane shook her head and said. Shokuhou was very confused by this and asked with a hint of doubt, but before she could finish her sentence, she was stopped by Yowane's index finger. She could only direct her questioning gaze at Yowane. If it were normally, she would have happily stuck out her tongue to lick it, but at this moment, she wasn't in the mood.
"I need you to do something more important."
Since the one leading the team was that guy from the Kihara Family, then he should know where Kihara's lair is. Therestina Kihara Lifeline was merely an abandoned pawn of Kihara Gensei; she couldn't possibly know much information. So, Kihara Kazuta should know some core things, such as Kihara Gensei's location. All these things Shokuhou needed to do.
"I understand, leave it to me!"
After listening to Yowane's explanation, Shokuhou nodded, indicating she understood. It was time for the creators of these tragedies to taste the bitter fruit of their own making.
Small sparks began to ignite in Academy City. By the time the higher-ups discovered them, it would probably be a little too late.
