The sisterâs calm almost mechanical tone surprised Mikoto, Hinagiku, Flandre, and Ikaros. Mikoto herself isnât sure why a sister is here.
âWhat is a Misaka clone doing here?â
Hinagiku gasped. She tilted her head in confusion.
âI thought Shokuhou Misaki sent them all to the Giant Beasts Forest to grind experience points? Why are they here all of a sudden?â
Mikoto opened the door and a Misaka clone who looked exactly like Mikoto stood there with a military visor on her head.
âEh?â
Flandre pointed her finger at the identical Misaka in front of her.
âThereâs 2 Misaka-nee?!â
âItâs really you!â
Mikoto cheered.
âYes, Onee-sama, Misaka has come to see you says Misaka in an excited mannerâŠâ
Mikotoâs smile froze. Sheâs apparently excited but her expressionless face would suggest otherwise.
Mikoto decided to ignore the sisterâs antics.
âAnyway, come in.â
Mikoto invited her clone into the house. However, a charming voice came from behind the clone.
âAra, Misaka-san, it hurts when you ignore me like thisâŠâ
Mikotoâs lip twitched and she so didnât want to deal with this right now.
âI am imagining it⊠just my imaginationsâŠâ
âOh, Misaka-san doesnât want to see me, I shouldnât have brought a sister here it seemsâŠâ
The owner of the voice replied in an upset tone.
âThatâs enough you twoâŠâ
Hinagiku came out with a helpless look.
âJust get in, if those annoying bastards see you, itâs going to be more troublesome than whatever you two have going on here.â
âHinagiku is a woman of reason, unlike somebodyâŠâ
Shokuhou Misaki had a smug grin. She looked classy with her gold-gilded uniform and her lustrous blonde hair adorned by sunlight. If only she did something about her habit of messing with Mikoto.
Shokuhou Misaki was accompanied by Astrea, Kinuhata Saiai, Frenda, and Takitsubou Rikou. This looked like a formal summit due to how all the executives of Starlight Queen gathered here.
âHinagiku, Mikoto, you two looked like you have it super not fun, whatâs with the locked doors?â
Kinuhata Saiai greeted them in a cheeky manner. She sounded like sheâs enjoying their misery.
Hinagiku rolled her eyes at her. Ignoring her, she walked back into the house. Mikoto pulled her sister into the villa. In the end, Kinuhata Saiai didnât get the satisfaction she wanted, the 5 of them entered the house.
âAre you doing well in the Giant Beast Forest? What about the others? Are they doing fine?â
Mikoto started bombarding the Misaka sister with questions. She leered at Shokuhou Misaki almost to the point of growling at her. Sheâs going to chew Shokuhou Misaki out if she didnât like what sheâs going to hear.
âOnee-sama, Misaka and the others have been well. Misaka answered Onee-samaâs question while thinking if there are any other interesting topics to bring upâŠâ
âYouâre still talking in a weird manner, huh?â
Hinagiku awkwardly laughed.
Mikoto wanted to ask a bunch of stuff as well so she didnât bother to comment on their weird manner of speech.
âWhere are the others?â
âItâs only me. The others are still in Giant Beast Forest, Misaka explains with nothing but the truth. Misaka wonders how Misaka is going to bring up the subject of asking Onee-sama for helpâŠâ
The others are shocked by what she had said.
âHelp?!â
Mikoto stood up and sheâs visibly distressed.
âWhatâs going on? Are the sisters in danger or something?â
The Misaka clone shook her head in denial.
âCalm down, Onee-sama, the others are not in danger, Misaka hurriedly explains as Onee-sama started panickingâŠâ
Mikoto isnât assured yet.
âWhy do you need help then?â
Shokuhou Misaki finally chimed in.
âLet me explain.â
The clone stopped talking much to Mikotoâs displeasure, she didnât like how the clone followed her nemesisâ order.
Shokuhou Misaki approached her.
âItâs not an urgent help itâs more like a request for a bit of aidâŠâ
âWhy would you need aid then?â
They urged Shokuhou Misaki to go on.
âThere have been weird occurrences in the Giant Beast ForestâŠâ
Shokuhou Misaki got straight to the point.
âThe monsters in the forest usually stay solitary and have their own territories. The monsters would fight each other if their territories clashed.â
âBut, today, the sisters who were out hunting beasts noticed how some territorial monsters are apparently in a cooperative partnership.â
âThe monsters are ganging up?â
Hinagiku and Mikoto yelled in surprise.
âHow is that possible?â
âI donât know yetâŠâ
Shokuhou Misaki shook her head, she had a grim look.
âI donât know why they are teaming up but this does not bode well for the sisters.â
âExplain yourself.â
Mikoto is freaking out right now, her low voice belied her anxiety.
âCalm down, there is no immediate danger to the sisters even if the monsters teamed up.â
Shokuhou Misaki said in a cold tone.
âIt concerns me that the beasts arenât just teaming up, they are working together to drive humans away from the forest.â
âDriving humans away?â
Hinagiku and Mikoto exchanged looks. They looked puzzled but they also knew something is up, monsters donât just team up for no reason.
âThis is the problematic part.â
Shokuhou Misaki sighed, she continued with a grave tone.
âThe sisters needed some time to demobilize and somehow or the other the beasts cornered them in the forest. They are still holding their own against the monsters but I donât think they can keep it up for long.â
âWhat?!â
Mikoto yelled in shock.
