Editing Toaru Majutsu no Index:Biohacker Chapter6 (section)

===Part 4===

Mitsuari Ayu wanted to be useful to someone.

She had said as much inside that burning parking garage.

But here she was turning her back on the others and running away. Even though they wanted the help of her power. They had not said so to her, but she knew.

If the Beginning Child was not temporarily restrained, she might spread magma and ice in every direction the instant she awoke.

“Ha.”

Mitsuari heard a sound like an electric shaver.

She might not have head it in the noise of the big city, but even a phone’s ringtone or a car’s engine sounded horribly out of place here in the mountains. That motor was the same.

She had seen one of those three sisters using drones back in the School Garden.

So she ducked down below an overhanging rock wall that acted as a roof and slipped past along the shortest route. She could feel her own heart growing stagnant as she went to the effort.

“Ha ha.”

She wanted to disappear.

She wanted to disappear and go away, but how could she do that?

She could hide, she could run away to some distant place, and she could change her name and appearance to start a new life as someone else, but this pressure would remain.

What was even the point of her life?

Was this all it was good for?

After others had paid the price for her to survive this long?

Not a single person was blaming her of anything, but she was still terrified. She kept begging people to not have any hope or expectations for her because she was terrified of disappointing them.

There was no going back now.

She did not dare power on her phone. She knew there had to be plenty of phone numbers and email addresses in its address book, but she could not bring herself to choose any of them.

She was too scared to make any kind of decision.

She was too scared she would have the answer shoved in front of her face like bisected Matsuo Ryuusuke had done earlier.

Instead…

(If only…yes, if only time would come to a stop.)

That was not going to happen.

So…

“I can make it stop.”
