Editing Toaru Majutsu no Index:MvM Chapter5 (section)

===Part 14===

Bikini armor Misaka Mikoto did not leave through the door.

She instead opened the elevated window and jumped out.

Based on that, she probably really would do it.

Even if she began an extremely reckless action based on a momentary whim, the #3 would see it through to the end.

The #5 preferred to thoroughly set the stage and double and triple check everything was ready before she took action, so this was something she could never do.

“It pisses me off.”

Shokuhou heard a panicked voice.

The door was cracked open and Patissiet was peeking in through the gap. Was she that worried about Mikoto?

Shokuhou beckoned her in.

“Come on in.”

“Yikes!? U-um, sorry, am I to be ''punished''? Yes, of course I am. A filthy slave who eavesdrops on a human conversation will naturally have an ear taken.”

“That will not be necessary.”

Shokuhou fairly strongly rejected the idea because it almost sounded like Patissiet would carry out the punishment herself.

Patissiet was pale as she nervously entered the room.

She was not the kind of person to look so concerned for her own wellbeing.

She would set herself aside and worry about those she cared for instead.

“W-w-w-will Lady Misaka be alright? I mean, um, she went out on her own… The kingdom is a big place. How can she protect everyone in the targeted areas when she doesn’t know what territories and what cities will be attacked?”

“Hee hee. She really is stupid, isn’t she? It does seem that she has rushed headlong into a trap meant to divide our forces and wear us down.”

“Um!?”

“But there’s nothing to worry about☆” insisted Shokuhou with a casual smile.

This was a repeat of that experiment. In order to stop the plan killing the 20 thousand Sisters, Mikoto had gone around destroying the different labs to try and eliminate the source of the experiment.

She knew this was a trap, but she had still chosen to go in and attack.

She had to be well aware she would only wear herself out with this foolish grand plan to protect every single life before her.

But…

“''This is Misaka Mikoto we’re talking about.''”

“?”

The elf tilted her head.

But for some things, that was a sufficient explanation.

The #3 could pull it off.

“Dozens of corporations and labs are scattered across Academy City, a place built from cold logic. They are all filled with secrets and so strictly guarded that simply setting foot inside could get you killed. One was even guarded by another Level 5. …But she still manages to pull these things off. She will save everyone without exception. Something awakens inside her at times like this. ''The animal ability sleeping within her will awaken, turning her into the guerilla expert who once spread chaos across Academy City''.”
