Did Kaito prepare gifts for Mikoto and Misuzu? Of course he did.
So why didn't he give them now?
He was waiting for the right moment. Not now.
Sometimes, giving a gift at the right time is more effective than giving it right away!
After dinner, Mikoto shared all the information she had gathered with Kaito.
For example, the researchers involved in the Absolute Power Evolution Project, the locations of the labs, and most importantly, the main test subject, Accelerator.
She had also discovered that some Misaka Sisters had been sent outside Academy City.
She hadn't been able to find out why.
"Alright, I know all this. Now, let's go!"
Without delay, Kaito patted Mikoto's shoulder, ruffled her hair a bit to cheer her up, then used invisibility magic to head straight for the lab.
This was the first step.
First, stop the ongoing Misaka Sister cloning project. Destroy all data and genetic material.
Then, erase the memories of all involved personnel.
Upon arriving at the lab, with Kaito there, the security measures were useless.
They walked in the front door, used hypnosis to get various ID cards, and obtained more information.
After destroying the surveillance footage, Kaito followed Mikoto's wishes and dismissed the researchers.
What happened to them afterward wasn't their concern. Their relevant memories were erased. No matter how powerful Aleister Crowley, the man hanging upside down, was, he wouldn't get a word out of them.
"Here..."
Mikoto looked at the cultivation tanks inside the lab, each containing a rapidly developing Misaka Sister. Her face was pale.
Kaito looked over the reports, operated the computers, swiped ID cards, and halted further cultivation.
A total of 108 Misaka Sisters had been cloned so far, with over 58 already dead.
Among them, one Misaka Sister was particularly interesting. The lab had intended to raise her through normal means.
"So, the plot has changed a bit?"
The 109th...
No, to be precise, the last Misaka Sister, designated number 20001.
Kaito was a bit surprised, but quickly smiled it off.
So what if the plot changed?
Having a Last Order Misaka Sister wasn't a bad thing. Misuzu would accept her anyway.
"Mikoto, there are 15 Misaka Sisters here now. The rest are scattered around the world. What do you want to do?"
The Misaka Sisters in the cultivation tanks could be awakened at any time. Since they had already been implanted with the necessary knowledge, they could live normal lives after awakening.
So, what about these awakened Sisters and the ones sent away?
Mikoto was also embarrassed. She hadn't thought about that at all.
And the fact that the Sisters were currently... unclothed was making her blush, making it hard to speak.
After all...
Kaito was the only male...
Even among the researchers, most were women working on this specific project. Men handled other tasks outside.
In short... looking at the Misaka Sisters was no different from looking at Mikoto's own body!
"Mikoto?"
"Ahhh! I know! Mom can buy a huge villa outside, and we can all live there together!"
During dinner, Mikoto had asked Misuzu how much money she had.
Misuzu said she could easily buy an island with money to spare.
So, when Kaito asked again, Mikoto, flustered, brought her mom into it.
"Well... including this one about 10 years old, there are 51 still alive. Mrs. Misaka, what do you think about suddenly gaining 51 daughters?"
"I think... I'm panicking!"
"Hehehe, the report says they planned to clone 20,001."
"Cough, cough, let's wake them all up! They're all my daughters! No matter how many, I'll raise them!"
Misuzu was also exasperated. So many daughters all at once was overwhelming.
Fortunately, there were only 16 Misaka Sisters here for now.
After waking the 15 who were ready, they destroyed all the cultivation tanks.
For the last, more special cultivation tank, Kaito carefully operated the computer, stopped certain programs, and gently lifted her out.
After getting clothes he'd prepared from the golden ripple and dressing them, Mikoto and Misuzu tried their best to explain the situation to them.
The Misaka Sisters' expressions were wooden, as they still had programmed commands.
But that was easily fixed with magic.
The final result.
The lab was completely destroyed, not a trace left.
Other labs didn't clone the Sisters but had related data, so they had to be destroyed too.
It took about three hours. By late night, they had brought all 15 Misaka Sisters to the villa. Last Order was sleeping in Kaito's arms.
True to her nature as Last Order?
Compared to the other Sisters, she was Misuzu's ideal daughter.
Like Index, she was very lively.
But because Last Order's first sight was Kaito, her subconscious latched onto him as "Father", and she clung to him.
"Mm, is this Papa and Mama's home?"
"Yes, Misaka says with surprise~"
Yes, like the other Sisters, she had a verbal tic.
By the way, Kaito had become a father again.
The other Sisters were fine, accepting the situation woodenly. Following Kaito's instructions via the Misaka Network, they called all the other Sisters from around the world back.
"Alright, the first issue with the Misaka Sisters is solved. Now, I need to handle the second issue for you."
