"It seems that this matter is really a bit big. However, it seems to have been suppressed by someone. Could it be Aleister's influence behind it? Shiina." Yoshino, who saw news about the previous 'index' incident online, discovered that the matter had obviously been suppressed by someone. There weren't many reports about the incident, and they used a laboratory accident to explain the incident and then declined to comment.
"Well, after all, Aleister and that bishop named Laura are in an antagonistic relationship. But who knows if there might be some connection behind the scenes. After all, he couldn't possibly not know that 'index' and people from the Magic Side had entered Academy City. In order to prevent ordinary people from discovering the existence of magic, it is necessary to suppress this matter. The current situation can be regarded as expected." Now is not the time to start a war. Keeping the matter secret is also for the better operation of Academy City.
"I say... Hey, hey, hey, START: DASH!!"
"Hmm? It's Shirai-san's phone." Yoshino, who was planning to browse other information, suddenly heard her phone ring. Her ringtone from her previous life was Muse's "Start Dash," and she habitually set the ringtone that Suzuya Yuriko gave her to this song. It's strange. She and Shirai-san exchanged phone numbers, but she had never called her before. Why would she suddenly call her today?
Although surprised, Yoshino still answered the phone and put it to her ear. Yoshino gently uttered a greeting:
"Good morning, Shirai-san."
"Yoshino! The perpetrator of 'AIM Stalker' (Gr**iton) is in trouble! That Kaitabi Hatsuyoshi suddenly fell into a coma while in the hospital, without any signs or symptoms. The doctors at the hospital couldn't find any problems. Can you please come to the hospital now?"
"Mr. Kaitabi Hatsuyoshi is in a coma? But what does his coma have to do with Yoshino? It wasn't because of me that he fell into a coma."
"...Because I saw you with Kaitabi Hatsuyoshi at the end of the previous incident, I think you might be able to help understand the situation. Please come over quickly." After speaking, Shirai Kuroko hung up the phone without waiting for Yoshino's reply. Shirai Kuroko, on the other end of the phone, breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that Yoshino doesn't know that there is an organization centered around her.
"...I was seen. Shiina. That's right, not only Shirai-san saw it at the time, but Senior Misaka also saw it." After all, these two people appeared in the anime. It's just that I didn't realize it at the time. I was too careless.
"Well~ It's not Yoshino's fault. Yoshino should go to the hospital first. You can't solve the aftereffects of 'AIM Stalker' yet, but you can give them some relevant hints." The exposure of this matter is inevitable sooner or later, and there is nothing wrong with being discovered by her friends.
Is it because Yoshino sang "Asphodelus" that day that so many people used 'AIM Stalker'? It seems that desire is indeed the original sin of mankind.
"Oh, I understand." Toujou Nozomi and Suzuya Yuriko went out together early this morning, so now Yoshino can only go out alone. She grabbed her bag and left immediately.
Soon, Yoshino arrived at the hospital. As soon as she entered the hospital, Yoshino saw Shirai Kuroko waiting for her in the hospital lobby, with Misaka Mikoto sitting next to her.
"Shirai-san, I'm here." Yoshino trotted to Shirai Kuroko, seeing Shirai Kuroko looking anxious, it seems that this matter is really urgent.
"Yes! I'm sorry, Yoshino. I'm bothering you during your vacation." Shirai Kuroko looked at Yoshino apologetically. This matter was originally the responsibility of her Disciplinary Committee Member, but now she is asking someone to use their precious free time to help her, which makes Shirai Kuroko feel sorry.
"It's okay. Doctor, what is the patient's condition now?" Yoshino shook her head and said indifferently. Seeing a middle-aged male doctor next to Shirai Kuroko, she asked him.
"The current situation is still a coma, but we can't find the cause of the coma." Shirai Kuroko and Yoshino don't know that this doctor is also a member of the Saintess Cult. He didn't hesitate to tell her directly what Yoshino asked, "There are no scars or signs of poisoning. Many doctors in Academy City have similar cases, and they are currently under investigation."
"Our current guess is that it is a problem with the brain. We have found experts in this field to help us, and they should be arriving soon..."
As the doctor finished speaking, the hospital door was opened. Turning around, you could see a group of people in white coats appearing in front of you. The woman in the lead said: "I am Kiyama Harumi, invited by the director of the Mizuho Institution."
'It's her.'*2 Seeing Kiyama Harumi, Yoshino knew that she was the culprit of this incident, but she did this for her students. In her heart, Yoshino liked this teacher very much. It's just that she has a habit of taking off her clothes at every turn, which makes Yoshino a little helpless. Apart from the dark circles under her eyes, she is completely a beauty. Why does she think that no one will be interested in her body?
"Oh? I didn't expect there to be a cute child here in the hospital. Here, have some candy. Can you tell me your name, sister?" Seeing Yoshino next to Shirai Kuroko, Kiyama Harumi's gloomy eyes changed a little. She came to her and took out a piece of candy from her pocket and handed it to Yoshino, skillfully stroking Yoshino's little head.
"...Yoshino." I don't remember you having this loli con attribute! Teacher Kiyama Harumi, wake up now that there are so many people here. Don't be confused!
"Well, Dr. Kiyama, should we go and check the patient's condition now? This way we can make further investigations." The middle-aged doctor said with a wry smile. His Saintess Cult leader is really too cute. It's a little scary to make people forget their original purpose when they see her.
"...I know. Wait for me to come out, okay?" After stroking Yoshino's head reluctantly, she walked into the hospital with the doctor, and Yoshino reached out and touched her head.
'She really is a gentle person.'
