Misuzu clung tightly to Kaito, acting like she wouldn't let go until she got a gift.
Amused, Kaito lifted her in a princess carry and tossed her onto the sofa.
"Alright, alright, of course I prepared a gift for you."
"Here, this is what I got for you."
"Oh!!! Thank you, honey~ mwah"
Excited, Misuzu gave Kaito a passionate kiss before taking the card from him.
Mikoto and the others watched.
While Mikoto was shy, the Misaka Sisters remained expressionless. Beelzebul looked conflicted. Index and Misaka Rei weren't in the living room but in the penthouse garden, looking at the swings.
"Oh! An S-Class Ability Upgrade Card!!"
"With this... my A-Class Electromaster ability can be upgraded!!"
This gift was very satisfying for Misuzu.
Upgrading her ability would let her have abilities similar to her daughter's!
Of course, Kaito wouldn't give her just one card.
Opening the second card, Misuzu got excited again.
This was a B-Class Physical Enhancement Card, improving all physical attributes!
Once used, she would no longer be an ordinary person. She would be a "strong woman" capable of punching through a house with one hit.
The last card was the same as Mikoto's: a B-Class All-Attribute Magic Circuit card.
It wouldn't be right for only Mikoto to learn magic, so both mother and daughter could learn together.
Magic was really convenient. And with Index, who possessed 103,000 grimoires...
Learning various useful spells was just a matter of time!
"Hehehe, Kaito, you're so good to me~"
Putting the cards away, Misuzu gave Kaito a big bear hug.
She was very satisfied with these gifts. Who knew when she'd pull them herself?
Now that Kaito had given them to her, she could just relax!
Why keep pulling?
She could just save her points leisurely!
"Hehe, I'm glad you're happy. You should all use them now."
"And Mikoto, the AI's instructions are in the description. Try using it with Vector Control."
Mikoto stared at her mother for a long time until Kaito snapped her out of it. Then she hurriedly started using the cards to gain her abilities.
First, she used the "Vector Control" card, gaining not only Accelerator's ability but also his experience in using it.
Her own calculation ability was also enhanced, allowing her to use Vector Control normally!
Of course, that alone wasn't enough to fully utilize it. So, she took out the watch.
It was a futuristic-looking watch. When worn, it could also turn invisible.
"Um... there's a voice in my head! It wants me to set up the AI. What should I do?"
Mikoto wasn't used to it and quickly asked Kaito for help.
"Oh, that's easy. I'll help you."
Kaito walked over, tapped the watch face, opened the operating system, and looked at the instructions.
Working with Mikoto, a holographic projection appeared. A little girl resembling Misaka Rei appeared.
Mikoto didn't know what kind of AI assistant to set up, so she chose Misaka Rei as a template. She named the AI "Misaka", not J.A.R.V.I.S.
Naturally...
Mikoto had initially thought of using Kaito as a template, but was too shy and quickly rejected the idea.
"It, it works!"
"AI 'Misaka' is now calculating in my head. I can use the ability smoothly now. I don't even need to think about it; 'Misaka' can do it for me!"
After a while, with AI "Misaka's" help, Mikoto fully mastered Vector Control.
To a large extent, she just had to give simple commands, and "Misaka" would handle the calculations, sending instructions to her brain to use the ability.
It felt strange at first, like she was useless or being controlled.
But after getting used to it, it was different. Having built-in cheats was really nice!
Now, she could use everything Accelerator could, even surpassing the Accelerator at the start of the main story.
All she needed was to continue developing her abilities. She would inevitably surpass Accelerator's peak.
Not just Vector Control, but her Electromaster ability could also be assisted.
There was an unexpected bonus: "Misaka" could also connect to the "Misaka Network". Not only could it use the network for calculations, but it could also contact all the Misaka Sisters.
This unexpected surprise quickly brought Mikoto closer to the Sisters.
"Kaito-nii, thank you so much for the gifts and your help!"
"You've already thanked me."
In the evening, Kaito was grilling beef skewers for Beelzebul, Misaka Rei, and Index, laughing as he replied to Mikoto.
After an afternoon of practice, she was probably much stronger and wouldn't face the same difficulties as in the original story.
But that also depended on her approach.
With "Misaka" around, she could get help.
However...
What Kaito didn't expect was that "Misaka" was up to something!
After "Misaka" observed that her master liked Kaito, she "kindly" listed many ways to pursue him.
Mikoto initially refused, but "Misaka" was too enthusiastic. Combined with her encouragement, Mikoto "reluctantly" decided to try.
After all, "Misaka" was based on Misaka Rei, and they shared a similar personality. This enthusiasm and tendency to stir things up were bound to happen.
In the end...
She would give it a try!
And it was good!
So, even though she had already thanked him, Mikoto came back to thank him again.
[Misaka]: Great, Master! Now you can sit next to him and grill the beef skewers together. It'll increase your chances to talk!
[Mikoto]: Is that really okay? But I... I don't know what to say.
[Misaka]: Leave that to me! Once we start a topic, I can list countless ways to respond and choose the best one to boost Kaito's affection!
