Epilogue: Action Proposal 3041 – Final Results[edit]
This is Return Goddess Disvalerine.
I see you’re all here.
The printout I will be handing out provides the final results of the current salvage project.
As planned, the return device’s countdown has reached zero.
They have risen to Depth 0.
But I failed to fish them up.
Misaka Mikoto and Shokuhou Misaki both escaped the hook.
This is a first for me as the Return Goddess, so I am working to analyze this regrettable turn of events to ensure it does not happen again.
I do not think the flaw was in the reel or the line.
Maybe the bait was poor.
They both rejected the bonus stage and only wanted to return to their original world. Knowing they would likely die.
I apologize for this unfortunate result.
The world they were born to is a tragic one.
It is a world where human folly led to the arrival of Them.
The world is like a battlefield from a bullet hell shoot ‘em up.
Its difficulty level is notable even among all the countless worlds out there. It’s so bad all the other goddesses have given up on interfering and chosen to abandon it.
You could say this salvage project was a form of mercy.
I at least wanted to fish Misaka Mikoto and Shokuhou Misaki out of that nightmarish world.
I had hoped to change their fate, so it pains me I failed to convince them.
“Now, then. We’re finally home.”
“This is where the fight truly begins.”
Ordinarily thinking, there was no possibility of Misaka Mikoto and Shokuhou Misaki surviving for long on the Earth they were born to.
They were all but guaranteed to be shot down.
If you have grown attached to them, it would be safer to shift your focus and support to the Misaka Mikoto and Shokuhou Misaki of another Earth.
“Nightmare difficulty? You think we can’t overcome this bullet hell?”
“But this is the world we were born in, so we have to protect it!”
With one last apology from me, Return Goddess Disvalerine, I declare this salvage project over.
No matter what they try, their power is insufficient to defeat Them.
Thank you for coming.
“Mental 00 to all fighters. The signal is weak, but early warning radar is picking up an unidentified craft. Are they overestimating their own stealth? No IFF authentication. They are hostile! You may attack at will.”
“Railgun 01. Roger that. Okay, everyone, let’s do this!!!”
(Because Misaka Mikoto, Shokuhou Misaki, and the other Tokiwadai students left on their nearly suicidal return trip, they no longer exist anywhere in this world. That makes this story nothing but fiction with no relation to real people, groups, etc.
Now, everyone.
Did you really think it would end there? Don’t you dare underestimate what Return Goddess Disvalerine can do when she puts her mind to it☆)
