"All the proteins in her body are unlike any found in nature; they are all man-made. So, she is not human in the true sense of the word."
Heaven Canceller said with a puzzled expression. Speaking of which, it was his first time encountering such a situation. Before, at most, he had saved a 'human' who, from a physics perspective, could no longer survive—no, it should be said, a magician. After helping her create a life-sustaining culture tank, she proposed a scientific city to Heaven Canceller, which is now Academy City. Speaking of which, that was the first time Heaven Canceller had encountered such a severe 'injury.' Although he saved her life, she would probably never be able to leave that culture tank.
Of course, this was what Heaven Canceller thought, but in reality, the other party could come out whenever she wanted, it just had a very serious side effect.
"Who created Febri?"
Mikoto looked at the hospital room door and said with her head down, but Yowane and Shokuhou's expressions didn't change at all. Knowing the cause of the matter, and having witnessed so much darkness in many worlds, Yowane had long developed a resistance. Shokuhou, on the other hand, had been able to accept others' thoughts since childhood and had seen more darkness than Mikoto much earlier. Instead of lamenting here, she was more willing to act immediately. Knowing that the two of them had seen more than the little girl in front of them, Heaven Canceller didn't think they were cold-blooded.
"Moreover, we found that the child's circulation is abnormal. Every time she undergoes daily metabolism, some toxins accumulate in her internal organs. This could cost the child her life. And the lollipops she eats every day are the antidote. However, it seems the child didn't faint due to poisoning; rather, she seems to have fallen asleep on her own."
Heaven Canceller said, stroking his chin, very strangely. However, Heaven Canceller didn't see Yowane directly pouting as he spoke. It seemed the cookies weren't very effective! They didn't directly neutralize Febri's poison; instead, they formed a protective film in the internal organs, expelling all the toxins from her body. This meant that Brother Extraordinary was in danger.
"Doctor, please save this child for me."
Mikoto, who lost interest in listening after hearing 'poisoning,' remained silent for a while. Mikoto then remembered her sister who died in front of her and various experimental videos. This time, she was determined to fight the dark side of Academy City to the end.
Hearing Mikoto's words, Yowane and Shokuhou both smiled, not mockingly, but with a hint of relief. This innocent and romantic little girl had finally grown up.
"Do you have the resolve to face the darkness?"
Heaven Canceller said, looking at Mikoto with a serious expression. Although his frog face showed no seriousness, Mikoto was startled by Heaven Canceller's sudden change in attitude. After a moment of stunned, Mikoto adjusted herself and looked at Heaven Canceller with determination, saying earnestly, "I want to save that child. I'm willing to die fighting the dark forces for her."
Mikoto seriously answered Heaven Canceller's question. Hearing Mikoto's reply and seeing her eyes, Heaven Canceller finally sighed as if giving up. If he could, he truly didn't want these children to touch such dark things, fearing they wouldn't be able to bear it and would break down. He could heal physical wounds, but not mental pain.
"I know, Doctor, don't worry. We'll solve this problem together."
Just as Heaven Canceller sighed, Yowane suddenly walked up, grabbed Mikoto's shoulders from behind, and smiled at Heaven Canceller.
"You all!... Thank you."
Mikoto looked at Shokuhou, who was standing beside her with her hand outstretched, and feeling the warmth on her shoulders, her nose tingled, and tears almost fell.
This was the first time she had felt warmth again since the Misaka Sister incident.
"Can I entrust the rest to you?"
Heaven Canceller spoke with some apprehension; he was truly afraid Yowane would once again enter that dark world.
First, the experiments when she was a child, then being dragged into the Misaka Sister incident, and now this again, it truly made him worried that Yowane would never return to the light.
"Don't worry! There are some things I still understand."
Yowane's smile temporarily eased Heaven Canceller's concerns.
He believed Yowane was a child who could grasp the right measure in her actions.
"Then, I'll leave it to you all, but according to the amount of candy that child has left, you don't have much time."
"Don't worry! I understand."
Finally, Heaven Canceller relented and said no more, letting the three of them go back.
"Haruue, help me with something."
"Kuroko and Ruiko, please help me."
"Everyone, please lend me your strength."
As soon as she entered, Mikoto said to the three people in the ward.
This time, she finally wasn't acting alone recklessly; she knew to solve difficulties together.
This made Yowane nod secretly, proving that the bloody lesson had indeed been effective.
