Mikoto Misaka was naturally very surprised when she arrived at Touma Kamijou's residence.
This guy was actually living with such a cute girl!
"I didn't do anything to offend you, did I?"
Touma Kamijou looked at the lightning crackling on Mikoto Misaka's forehead with some trepidation.
"It's just that I feel really unhappy that I lost to such a beast."
Mikoto Misaka sized up Touma Kamijou with a dangerous gaze, seemingly pondering where to start.
"Alright." Shen He spoke at the right moment to stop her, "Touma Kamijou is just such a hopelessly nice guy. Isn't it only natural that he would take in a homeless, cute girl? Otherwise, I wouldn't have thought of coming to him for help first."
"Eh—? I feel like there's something wrong with the way you put it." Touma Kamijou was stunned, then reacted with a protest, "Index clearly fell at the doorstep and then just wouldn't leave, a freeloader! She even took over my bed! Why does it sound like I'm some pervert who picked up a drunk girl and brought her home!"
"Touma…"
Index's soft voice drifted over.
Then, she suddenly pounced, biting Touma Kamijou's head. The two of them began to frolic and play, oblivious to the world around them.
"Tsk." Shen He clicked his tongue.
As expected of the renowned Touma, the harem protagonist.
But he glanced at his own lineup: Jeanne d'Arc, Shiki Ryougi, Violet Evergarden, and Kusuo Saiki… not bad either.
Wait, what am I doing—
"This isn't the time for fooling around."
Shen He reached out and picked Index up. "This situation is a bit tricky, so we need to gather all the forces that can be marshaled. In Academy City, I can only think of you as being on our side, and then there's Misaki Shokuhou. Touma Kamijou, she's your responsibility."
Shen He already had a rough plan in mind; in fact, he didn't have many choices before him.
Given the strength displayed by Mikoto Misaka Alter,
directly confronting her was the worst option. Even if he was confident in winning with his words, he still had to guard against other factions taking advantage. Furthermore, Shen He felt that Mikoto Misaka Alter wasn't the final boss.
So, the only thing he could do now was to keep strengthening their own forces, and that was definitely the right thing to do.
"Why do I have to do it?" Touma Kamijou didn't understand. "Isn't she a Level 5 from the same school as Biri Biri? Shouldn't they be familiar with each other?"
"That's right." Mikoto Misaka nodded, biting her lip. "With that person's personality, if I humbly ask her, she will definitely agree. After all, she's been waiting to see me make a fool of myself, but dignity is completely irrelevant right now."
"..." Shen He hesitated for a moment, then softly said, "The reason is simple. Touma Kamijou is the person she likes."
"——!"
Everyone in front of them wore expressions of shock, including Touma Kamijou himself.
"That Misaki Shokuhou, who fancies herself a queen, likes Touma Kamijou, who seems completely useless!?"
Mikoto Misaka shook her head, her face full of disbelief. Then, she suddenly noticed that Touma Kamijou, standing beside her, had fallen silent at some point.
Touma Kamijou couldn't be sure himself, because he had lost all his memories prior to that night during the incident where he saved Index.
"Well, it was around his third year of junior high school when Touma Kamijou first lost his memories."
Shen He didn't emphasize the words "first time," but Touma Kamijou's eyes widened slightly.
He had actually lost his memory once before that first time?
Is this really necessary? To have amnesia happen to him twice in a row.
"I won't go into the details." Shen He glanced at the time. "In short, Touma Kamijou has a condition that's close to 'memory retrieval path damage,' and he keeps forgetting Misaki Shokuhou. We have limited time in this world each day, so we can only ask you to do this... If Misaki Shokuhou can join us, our chances of success will be much higher."
Mind control is a very flexible power, and it can sometimes have a huge effect when used well.
Kusuo Saiki certainly has a wide variety of superpowers, but he alone cannot control the minds and memories of others.
"Understood, I'll do it."
Touma Kamijou gave Shen He a grateful look.
He was grateful that Shen He didn't reveal the fact that he'd lost his memory a second time. He had been pretending not to have amnesia, just to avoid making Index sad.
"If Touma Kamijou is going to get involved, we'll help too," Kanzaki Kaori, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up. "We still owe him a favor, and it's also a great honor to have the opportunity to work with the saint."
"Thank you very much." Jeanne d'Arc spoke on Shen He's behalf.
"So, let's talk about our next plan." Shen He glanced at Accelerator. "First, we need to rescue Last Order, that is, Misaka Mikoto (Clone)."
He had already explained Last Order's existence and her relationship with Accelerator to these people, so it was easy to understand the significance of rescuing her first.
"Last Order is the command center for all the Misaka Sisters. She was created to send specific electrical signals to her brain in emergencies, allowing external operation of the 'Misaka Network' and indirectly stopping the Misaka Sisters' actions." Shen He re-emphasized this information, then clenched his fist. "This means that she can at least stop the Misaka Sisters from participating in the war."
As the last sentence was spoken, both Mikoto Misaka's and Accelerator's eyes shone brightly.
Some Misaka factories had already restarted production, and it wouldn't be long before more Misaka Sisters appeared and were thrown into the battlefield.
This was the last thing Mikoto Misaka wanted to see, and for Accelerator, as long as he could save Misaka Mikoto (Clone), everything would be fine.
"First, we need to investigate the location of Misaka Mikoto (Clone)." Without realizing it, Shen He had already become the leader of this small group. "The preliminary plan is to find a way to lure Mikoto Misaka Alter away, but I heard that a Magician group has joined her camp, so we must be on guard. In short, information is the most crucial thing, not just about Mikoto Misaka Alter's camp, but also Academy City, even the Magician camp and other national forces—"
"——Protecting is far more difficult than destroying; we can't just focus on one objective."
Almost immediately after saying this, the Silver Treasure Chest, which was triggered for the first time, appeared.
Shen He felt full of energy. Although it would be better to have the power to flatten everything, having a challenge is what gets people's blood pumping.
