Upon waking, Mikoto clutched her still-groggy head and sat up from the soft 'ground'.
"Eh!? Why is it so soft and a little fragrant?"
Feeling her entire face sink into something soft, Mikoto sniffed curiously and rubbed against it. Then, she realized something was amiss. Mikoto slowly lifted her head, just in time to see those familiar red eyes.
"Mikoto actually likes my breasts so much, it's quite surprising. I didn't expect Mikoto to be a breast-lover."
Yowane, lost in thought, hadn't noticed Mikoto waking up, otherwise such an awkward situation wouldn't have occurred. But since it did, she might as well tease this 'tsundere cannon' a bit.
"N-no way!"
Mikoto, who had been looking down, instinctively looked up and loudly retorted upon hearing Yowane's words. Seeing the smile on Yowane's lips, she lowered her head again and mumbled softly.
"Is something on your mind lately?"
Hitting the mark, Yowane brewed another cup of tea and said to Mikoto with a hint of meaning.
"Nothing at all!"
As Yowane expected, this person started being'stubborn' again. She clearly wanted help but didn't want to drag others into the trouble she had caused. Just like a certain Goldie, tsundere ruins a lifetime.
"I just hope you can be a little more honest."
After pouring a cup of tea for Mikoto, Yowane picked up her own teacup, took a sip, and said.
"Where am I not honest? That's just your illusion."
Mikoto, suddenly agitated, yelled at Yowane for the first time. She was afraid of anyone touching her bottom line, which had been raw ever since that night when she saw a Misaka Sister die in front of her. No one was allowed to touch it, not even Yowane, whom she was fondest of.
"Do you know? Last night, Kuroko called me more than a dozen times, all looking for you."
Ignoring Mikoto's attitude, Yowane said lightly, causing Mikoto to fall silent instantly. She didn't want to involve others, but she had already done so. Her disappearance had worried that child. But if her disappearance could make the ten thousand dead Misaka Sisters rest easier, and save the remaining Misaka Sisters, she would willingly die right now.
She didn't answer Yowane's words, but from her tightly clenched hands around the teacup, one could tell her current emotional state.
"She's very worried about you."
"I... I know."
Ultimately, Mikoto remained silent. She didn't know how to answer Yowane's words; she could only respond with silence.
"What a worrisome child."
Yowane smiled bitterly, looking at Mikoto's retreating back. Only an empty cup was left on the ground. After saying 'thank you for the hospitality' to Yowane, Mikoto had left.
"Where on earth did Kuroko go? It's been almost two hours just to get some pastries."
Thinking of the one who had left and not returned, Yowane suddenly wondered. However, Kuroko was currently 'reporting the situation' to the 'Queen', so it would probably take a little more time! But Yowane didn't plan to wait for this person who broke her promise. She simply packed up, intending to return to her dorm.
"Multiple students were injured in an incident at Misawa Cram School, and the true cause is currently under investigation."
"Regarding Yowane's new song release."
Back in her dorm, Yowane casually picked up her phone, read a headline, and then had no desire to continue reading.
"It's only progressed this far? It seems that guy doesn't intend for me to intervene. Do I need to stir up some trouble to surprise the 'Hanging Lady'?"
Throwing her phone aside, Yowane fell into a state of boredom, hugging her pillow and rolling around on the bed.
"Oh, right, isn't 'Angel Fall' next? I wonder if it will be useful to me. I'm really looking forward to it."
Remembering that after the Misaka Sister incident, a certain 'bird person' would descend, Yowane couldn't help but want to 'eat' him/her. This was a great tonic. In this world, this was an existence second only to a god, a magic rumored to destroy the world. In Yowane's opinion, the other party could probably only 'wash the face' of the Earth and couldn't destroy all life on it.
"Oh, Angel! Come quickly! My divinity is already 'thirsty for more'."
Saying this to herself, a joyful smile appeared on Yowane's face, buried in the pillow. What seemed like an incredibly crazy thing to others was no big deal to Yowane. If she revealed her true form, she could directly detonate this world, but that would attract Gaia's attention, and there were many people she liked in this world, so she would never do that.
Three days later, Mikoto looked at the small tablet in her hand with disbelief. According to her calculations, there were only about twenty laboratories, and she should have cleaned them all up. Why? Why did so many more laboratories suddenly appear? Didn't that mean her previous fight with that 'auntie' was all for nothing?
"Am I truly unable to do anything?"
Mikoto squatted down, clutching her head in pain, burying her face between her knees. Tears dripped, soaking her short skirt. She looked so helpless now, like a crying child.
