Although he didn't quite believe he could single-pull a five-star Servant, the one summoned was undoubtedly Misaka Mikoto.
After all, he was pulling from the Misaka Mikoto rate-up gacha, so it was understandable to get Accelerator as a spook once, but how could he get spooked twice in a row?
"Shen... Uncle?"
After a while, Misaka Mikoto's voice appeared in his mind.
However, the "uncle" really depressed Shen He. He was only twenty-five years old.
"It's me, Mikoto. This is the same contract as Accelerator's," Shen He tried to keep his tone calm, not sounding too excited. "If you agree, you'll be a member of Chaldea from now on, and you can follow us to all sorts of different worlds. However, there might be a lot more fighting."
Shen He hadn't expected to single-pull Misaka Mikoto at all, so he hadn't made any preparations.
But after all this time, he should have maxed out the basic favorability, right?
The next moment, Misaka Mikoto appeared in the room.
"Did we successfully summon Mikoto?" Jeanne looked very happy and hugged Misaka Mikoto. "It seems we'll be partners from now on."
"Ugh, hah, gasp."
Misaka Mikoto struggled, using both her hands and feet, feeling like both her body and mind had suffered a huge blow.
Shen He watched this scene with some envy.
He knew that Jeanne cared about Misaka Mikoto. Rather than care, it was more like admiration, or affection. Jeanne had little resistance to those who could have abandoned everything and lived a happy life, yet still challenged despair for various reasons.
"So, Mikoto, you should already have the basic information in your mind."
Shen He coughed lightly. Although he was very excited when he drew her, he had calmed down by now, and all that remained was a sense of satisfaction.
It was like the feeling a stamp collector gets after finally collecting a super rare stamp after a lot of hard work.
"Is this another world?"
Misaka Mikoto looked around the room curiously.
It looked ordinary. She extended a finger, but only a weak current flickered.
So weak... super weak... even weaker than when she was four years old...
"You need to use something called a dog... enhancement stone to strengthen it. However, there are also benefits. Your physical strength and ability will be strengthened together, and you can easily break through your original limits." Shen He explained simply. In fact, Misaka Mikoto should have all this information in her mind.
"Physical strength..." Misaka Mikoto secretly glanced at Jeanne d'Arc, shifted her gaze away with a guilty conscience, coughed twice, and folded her arms in front of her chest, "In short, I think it's very interesting, so I agreed. It's, it's not because I'm grateful or anything. So, please continue to take care of me in the future, ma... mast..."
Even though her face was flushed, she couldn't say the last word.
It's all because of Kuroko, that girl. I can't help but think of embarrassing things.
"If you're not used to calling me in English or Japanese, try the Chinese pronunciation of 'Master'."
Shen He didn't really care about this. Although a shy Misaka Mikoto was incredibly interesting, he had something else on his mind.
"How are things over there now? Even with two Saints and two Level 5s, I'm still a little worried. After all, these students were previously in a state of hostility with the Misaka Sisters."
"Mm." Speaking of this, Misaka Mikoto's expression became a little unnatural. "They're still keeping their distance from the Misaka Sisters."
In fact, it wasn't just the other esper students. Even she herself didn't know how to get along with the Misaka Sisters. After all, they were born because of her, and they had suffered such a cruel disaster.
"Accelerator, that guy..."
Shen He noticed the sadness in Misaka Mikoto's eyes and suddenly mentioned Accelerator. "He's clearly twisted inside, but he can still put on an act of being nonchalant. Because he's given up on himself and sees himself as an 'incurable villain', as long as Misaka-san still needs his help, he'll be happy... The Misaka Sisters are also trying hard to get close to you, right? I remember it was Number 9982."
Number 9982 was the first Misaka Sister Misaka Mikoto had ever met, and the first Misaka Sister Misaka Mikoto witnessed being killed by Accelerator.
"That guy, huh." Misaka Mikoto certainly couldn't forget. "He even said something like, 'I thought you, Sister, were a perfect young lady back at the research facility, but it's just this.' And here I'd even given her a Gekota Badge..."
Her voice trailed off towards the end.
Because Misaka Sister Number 9982 had been clutching that badge tightly even as she was dying.
"The memories of each Misaka Sister are connected through the Misaka Network." Shen He sighed inwardly. "The one who met you that day wasn't just Number 9982, but all the Misaka Sisters. So you don't need to worry about anything. Act like a big sister. Your sisters are a bit of a handful, but they're all good sisters."
He had wanted to say these words to Misaka Mikoto for a long time, but he hadn't found the opportunity.
Because even now, half of Misaka Mikoto's cheerfulness was just an act. Someone burdened with that level of guilt, how could they possibly laugh genuinely?
"I, I know that, of course!"
Misaka Mikoto turned her head away, her face flushed, but after a moment, she turned back. "Then... what about the other Misaka Mikoto? Although her actions and behavior are unacceptable, she is also thinking about the Sisters, right?"
"I haven't actually met Misaka Mikoto Alter yet," Shen He said, helplessly spreading his hands. "There are many different kinds of Alters, so who knows."
If it were a situation like Jeanne d'Arc Alter, it would be fine; she'd just be a tsundere.
But if it were a situation like Cú Chulainn Alter, who became the King of Slaughter, then there's no saving her. Cú Chulainn Alter is very clear about the fact that he is an Alter, and he doesn't care about anything, simply thinking of himself as a machine of war and slaughter. The only way to stop him from fighting is to take him down.
Moreover, no matter which type it is, it's still an Alter. Unless it's a Servant Alter, even if you draw one, you'll be directly rejected if you haven't reached a consensus (goodwill) beforehand.
Avengers won't easily agree to have their wishes fulfilled by others.
But... Shen He silently looked at his backpack.
"...I'll go back first..."
Although she'd been talked to, Misaka Mikoto still felt heavy-hearted.
"Yeah." Shen He nodded. "Go back and rest. Contact me if anything comes up, or come over for some good food. You're expected to be out at sea for several days."
Misaka Mikoto had requested to return to the world of A Certain Magical Index. Shen He yawned; even though it was already early morning, he wanted to go back to sleep.
Using Oni Possession for battle still took a toll on his stamina.
Shiki and Violet also left Shen He's room. Saiki and Lelouch returned to their own worlds. In the end, only Jeanne d'Arc remained in his room, clearly having something to say.
"How does Master see Misaka Mikoto Alter?" Jeanne d'Arc climbed onto the bed and sat behind Shen He, gently massaging his temples to relieve his mental fatigue.
"...Do you know what I got from the golden treasure chest I triggered after finding the Holy Grail?" Shen He suddenly revealed a proud smile, then held a card between his fingers.
A special card completely different from all the previous item cards.
Name: Special Servant Contract
From: Servant Summoning System
Evaluation: Special Servants do not join the gacha pool summoning, but can establish a contract summon with this card, without the Special Servant's consent. Usable after the end of the singularity event.
"Special Servant should refer to Misaka Mikoto Alter," Shen He toyed with the card in his hand. "So, we're likely to have our first Alter companion. But if her personality is really terrible, then let's forget about it."
Basically, judging from this card.
Misaka Mikoto Alter is undoubtedly the Servant gifted free during the event. After all, this is a forced contract that doesn't require consent.
It's just that Shen He still hesitated.
It's not because Misaka Mikoto Alter started a war. Although he felt sorry for those who died innocently, Shen He wouldn't shout things like "unforgivable" because of such things. He was just worried that she wouldn't obey after being summoned.
After all, he didn't know this person at all. Once a contract was established, even if he didn't care about what had happened before, Shen He felt he should at least be responsible for the Servant's future actions, as well as for the interpersonal harmony of his group.
"If she has Mikoto's memories, it shouldn't be too difficult to get along with her," Jeanne said optimistically.
She was being biased.
Shen He hesitated for a moment, but decided not to tell her about Jeanne d'Arc Alter for now.
"Anyway, this card can't be used until after the event is over," Shen He lay down on the bed, turning to his side. "Let's observe for a while. Right now, she'll attack us without mercy if she sees us."
After all, they had taken all of her sisters.
Probably he was really exhausted.
Just chatting casually with Jeanne, Shen He fell asleep without realizing it.
Jeanne d'Arc looked at Shen He's tired appearance, a hint of heartache on her face.
She gently and carefully took off Shen He's outer clothes and tucked him in, then lay there, resting her head on the bedside and watching him. After a while, her face flushed slightly. She turned her head furtively to check the room, making sure no one else was present, and then cautiously rolled over and slipped into the covers. She didn't touch Shen He, just lay there, facing him, and closed her eyes.
Servants don't need to sleep.
When Shen He woke up after a good night's sleep, he found a beautiful body in his bed.
The thin covers were draped over both of them. Although they were still clothed, there was a sense of intimate warmth.
It wasn't until Jeanne d'Arc opened her eyes that Shen He suddenly realized what was happening.
He had been sleeping with his beautiful girlfriend in the same bed!
