"Following the Misaka Sisters?" The students looked at each other.
"That's right." Shen He explained simply, "The Misaka Sisters have no home to return to. In Chaldea's heart, they are just as important as all of you. Therefore, we will choose to build a city for them."
As soon as these words were spoken, a wave of commotion erupted below.
Even Misaka Mikoto looked at Shen He with an expression of disbelief. On such a battlefield, she could hardly imagine the difficulties of protecting the ten thousand plus Misaka Sisters. That was something she, a junior high school student, could not possibly do. Yet this person in front of her said that he would build a city for them?
"Mainly to give the Misaka Sisters a safe place to live." Shen He was not joking.
If it were a showdown between strong individuals, it would indeed be more tricky for Chaldea when the Servant's level wasn't high enough.
But since a world war had started, it was actually much easier, because Shen He still had Lelouch.
Lelouch's abilities could have a snowball effect during this chaotic period.
Ultimately, most of the students present wanted to return to their homes, with only a few exceptions.
However, many of them were not Japanese citizens, so the large group split up here. The Japanese students chose to find the Japanese army, while the remaining students continued to follow Shen He and his group. Even so, there were still nearly twelve or thirteen thousand people. In Japan, a small island nation, it was impossible to find a place to hide them.
So, they needed to get a bigger ship first.
"Lelouch, do you have time right now..."
While Shen He was withdrawing all the Misaka Sisters from Academy City, Misaka Mikoto Alter, who had failed to find any of the board members on the battlefield, returned to her own base.
In front of her was a deserted ruin.
No, it wasn't completely deserted. A young man, covered in blood and with a severed wrist, struggled to crawl over.
"Misaka... Mikoto, Shirai Kuroko took Last Order and all the Misakas and fled outside of Academy City..."
Aizari didn't dare to look up at Misaka Mikoto Alter.
He couldn't imagine what kind of anger and sorrow would be on that Misaka face.
After all, he had been betrayed by someone he trusted.
"Oh." A simple response.
There was no hysterical shouting, no angry lightning, only a response indicating she understood.
Aizari suddenly raised his head, and unbelievably found that Misaka Mikoto Alter's face looked very calm.
"This, this is a betrayal, Shirai Kuroko betrayed your trust in her..." Aizari suddenly became incoherent, "You must be very angry, very sad, right? It's okay, Misaka Mikoto, you don't have to endure it in front of me, because I, I li..."
"Shut up, you—"
The world fell silent, the sound of black lightning having faded.
Misaka Mikoto Alter stood alone in the ruins.
Shirai Kuroko's abandonment and betrayal should have filled her with rage and sorrow.
However, after sensing the lingering presence of another Misaka Mikoto, anger was hard to muster. She had already known the answer. When the past Misaka Mikoto appeared, Kuroko and Uiharu would choose her, abandoning the current her. It was inevitable.
Even Last Order didn't acknowledge her as a sister.
Misaka Mikoto Alter searched the ruins alone. She found some food and kept looking until she unearthed a dusty Gekota doll from beneath a collapsed wall. Relief washed over her when she confirmed it wasn't too damaged.
Shiro had become a little gray.
Misaka Mikoto Alter sniffled, looking as though she were about to cry.
She tied the carefully cleaned Shiro to the thin belt around her waist, then thought of Kuro and Gekota.
"Indeed, next time I should kill you… and take Kuro back."
With a murmur, Misaka Mikoto Alter turned and walked toward the battlefield once more.
Finally, when Shen He and the others returned to the Marvel World, it was already seven in the morning.
They had departed around one in the morning. They used a Beginner Time Delay Card to delay time by three hours. When they left, they had used illegal means to blow up a U.S. aircraft carrier that was rapidly evacuating and had no fighter jets for defense. Then, they had Saiki use time-reversal to restore everything. They then sailed towards an undeveloped island, carrying over ten thousand Misaka Sisters and two to three thousand students with superpowers.
This was thanks to Acqua of the Back, who used a magic array to control the water flow and envelop the entire aircraft carrier, preventing it from being discovered by satellites.
"Thank you for your hard work, Lelouch." Shen He said to the young man beside him, feeling a bit apologetic. "You have classes today, and I called you over so late."
"It's nothing." Lelouch shook his head. "I've broadened my horizons. A real world war. So, Master, the next step is to control as many people as possible during the chaos to protect the Misaka Sisters, right?"
"Well, let's leave it at that for now. In short, prepare for a protracted war," Shen He frowned slightly.
The current war actually had little to do with the Holy Grail. Even if someone was pulling the strings behind the scenes, it could only be Aleister and Fiamma of the Right. It couldn't be said that only ending the war meant clearing the instance, or that they really had to take down Misaka Mikoto Alter, right?
But that was fine. If it didn't count as clearing the instance, then there would be time to settle the Misaka Sisters. Otherwise, he wouldn't even have the face to try to summon Railgun.
Speaking of summoning Railgun... Shen He looked at his system interface. He had accumulated eleven Summoning Stones. These were the Summoning Stones from the past five days, plus the extra one from today's Beginner Time Delay Card.
"Let's do a draw, I guess."
Shen He hesitated for a moment and pressed the ten-draw button.
The card pool for Misaka Mikoto up hadn't changed. Although the probability of drawing something in each ten-draw was the same, when he hadn't drawn anything for so many times, he always had the illusion that he would get it in the next one.
As it turned out... the illusion was just an illusion.
Name: Smile of the Holy Mother.
From: High School DxD
Evaluation: An artifact with the ability to indiscriminately heal and restore injuries on a target, with the potential for further evolution.
The only guaranteed four-star equipment. Although it's a much-needed healing-type equipment, it's not Railgun.
"Jeanne d'Arc, use this."
Shen He, feeling a little down, handed the bead-shaped object to Jeanne d'Arc.
Jeanne d'Arc herself possesses a certain healing ability, and coupled with her merciful heart, she would likely be able to maximize the effect of this equipment.
Shen He glanced at the remaining Summoning Stone.
Never mind, the compulsion is getting to me. I'll just draw.
"Confirmed, congratulations on successfully summoning a five-star ultra-rare Servant: Misaka Mikoto. The pool's up Servant has been replaced."
Shen He: "..."
A single draw, a miracle?
