Even if the future Misaka Sisters might be killed by Accelerator, numbering over ten thousand, Chinatsu was not prepared to confront Aleister directly before her own strength was sufficient.
Chinatsu had thought her psychological preparation was enough to let her face the Misaka Sisters calmly, but now that they appeared right before her eyes, her heart was still touched.
As the lighting system in the warehouse fully turned on, the Misaka Clone who had previously been knocked unconscious by Accelerator appeared in Chinatsu's line of sight.
She met Chinatsu's gaze. In silence, Chinatsu walked quickly toward her, and before the other could speak to ask a question, she stretched out her arms and pulled her into an embrace.
"I'm sorry, I'm late."
The Misaka Imouto, held in Chinatsu's arms, showed some other emotions faintly amidst the confused expression on her face. She took a deep breath and asked.
"Are you Big Sister Chinatsu?" Misaka asked in confusion.
"Yes, I am your sister."
Chinatsu had no intention of letting go of the Misaka Imouto, and the Misaka Imouto did not feel any displeasure at this embrace; instead, she learned from Chinatsu and stretched out her arms to hug Chinatsu back.
Leaning against the wall outside the warehouse, Accelerator clearly heard the conversation inside with his ears. Having had no family since he was small, although he didn't know what the feeling of having a family was, he yearned for it very much.
"Hey, how will these sisters of Chinatsu be handled in the future? Tell me everything you know," Accelerator turned his head to look at the Researcher beside him and asked.
"The mass production project failed. If the Level 6 Shift Project is also terminated, personally, I think it would be more cost-effective to completely dispose of these clones."
As soon as the Researcher's cold and heartless words were finished, a punch from Accelerator landed heavily on his face. His fat body flew out instantly, along with his communication device used to contact the higher-ups.
At the same time, the communication device emitted a light indicating a received message. Accelerator glanced curiously at the one on the ground, then reached out and picked it up.
"Hey, what's the password?"
Accelerator turned his head and asked the Researcher who had crawled back up again. Of course, even if he couldn't get the answer, he could quickly crack the password of a mere communication device with his own ability.
After getting the password from the Researcher, Accelerator successfully opened the screen of the communication device. The first thing that caught his eye was a message regarding the arrangements for the clones.
[Since Accelerator has refused the experiment, the Level 6 Shift Project is temporarily terminated. The clones codenamed Misaka Sisters will be handled with humanitarianism, first undergoing basic physical conditioning within the Research Institute, and subsequently being taken out of Academy City in batches for research that can extend the clones' lifespan.]
Accelerator looked at the lines of messages on the communication device and couldn't help but fall into silence, wondering if the higher-ups of Academy City would really be that kind...
