Doubledriver for Mikoto?
Even though it was a workday, the chat group was still bustling with lively discussions about various topics.
Sitting in front of the computer, Yaoyorozu didn't participate in the conversation. Instead, she smiled and said, "I thought these seniors were all single and wouldn't give any useful advice. I just asked for some casual suggestions. But unexpectedly, they actually had some result."
However, she had no intention of disclosing her current progress in the chat group. It was best to keep her success to herself.
Moreover, there were several people in the group who were eagerly looking to get married.
After briefly being a lurker, she left the computer unattended, tidied up her things, changed her clothes, and went downstairs to take a shower.
Dinner, prepared by the chef, was quite abundant today, so she had plenty of time and was not in a hurry.
On the other side, Renault had just returned to his room and hadn't decided what to do with his free time when he received a call from Mikoto.
"Mikoto, what's up? Why are you calling me at this hour?"
"Get me one too!"
"...Huh?" Renault, who was feeling a little guilty, became bewildered upon hearing her nonsensical words on the other end of the phone.
Get her one... Get what?
"Don't play dumb with me!" Back at home, Mikoto, holding a pillow in her hands, exclaimed excitedly, "That thing, you know, the chubby guy with the belt from the TV. Don't tell me you don't know!"
Chubby... with a belt?
Ah~ All Might, right?
"Hold on, he's not chubby! He's muscular, a perfect representation of strength!" Renault expressed his dissatisfaction. Whether it was the original Kamen Rider 1 or the All Might version, neither could be called chubby!
"So, you admit that this thing is related to you?"
"...Fine, it's not a big deal to tell you, but you can't let it slip, okay?"
"Don't worry, I know that much!" Seeing his non-denial, Mikoto curiously asked, "So, who is the person using that belt? And where did you get it from? I haven't seen you with it before giving it to someone else?"
Emmm... Should he tell her or not?
He hesitated for a moment, but considering his relationship with Mikoto and her ability to keep secrets, as well as his recent...
"Remember, you absolutely, absolutely must not let it slip, okay?"
"Are you not trusting me?"
"I'm sorry, but there are a lot of things at stake here, so I have to be cautious. Currently, there are less than five people who know about this."
With his words, she also became hesitant.
"Um... maybe it's better if I don't know?"
Shaking his head, Renault replied, "Forget it. Since you've already asked, I have no reason not to tell you. But it's enough that you know." After a pause, Renault continued, "I used the Typhoon Belt for All Might."
"...Ehh?!" Mikoto was completely shocked by the name 'All Might'. "Is it true? But, but wasn't All Might seriously injured? That's what you told me."
"He has already recovered. It happened not long ago. To keep it a secret and prevent too many people from knowing, we didn't say anything. After he recovered from his injuries, I gave him the belt. Consider it an extra card up his sleeve, a surprise move against villains. After all, everyone wouldn't have expected the No. 1 Hero to come back under a different identity, right?"
"That's really great!" All Might is practically everyone's idol, except for villains. Mikoto is no exception. She is genuinely happy to hear that All Might's old injuries have fully healed.
"Well then Senpai, going back to my original topic, make one for me too!"
"Huh? You mean... the belt?"
"Yes, yes!"
Renault could already imagine the excitement in her voice on the other end of the phone.
However, he didn't actually have any spare belts on hand.
The Build Driver is something he needs for himself, whether it's Build or Evolto. He didn't plan on using the Typhoon Belt and intended to give it to All Might instead. It had fewer functionalities compared to his own belt, and All Might was more suitable for it.
As for the Lostdriver... Right! the Lostdriver!
He immediately made the connection with Evolto in his mind.
"Evolto, Lostdriver, can Mikoto use it?"
"Huh? Your girlfriend? Well, there are some limitations. She can only use it briefly. I've investigated the compatibility before, and it hasn't reached 80. Even if authorized, she can only use it reluctantly for five to ten minutes, and it will put some strain on her body. On the other hand, your younger sister can use it perfectly. By the way, did she discover All Might's belt?"
Renault replied, "That's right. That's why she kept pestering me, asking me to make one for her. And indeed, it can serve as a means of protection, can't it? It's just a pity that she can't use it."
"Renault, did you forget something?"
"What?"
"Lostdriver may not work, but there's another option."
"Another option? Are you talking about..." Renault's eyes lit up, and he said, "The Doubledriver?"
"That's right, the Doubledriver that you have tucked away. Although it requires two people to cooperate, if you and your younger sister use it together, you can achieve perfect synchronization. If we replace it with Misaka Mikoto, the effect may be slightly compromised, but it won't have much impact. Whether it's you or your sister, the synchronization result will only decrease by less than ten percentage points. As an emergency measure, it's more than enough."
Evolto's explanation made Renault feel like he had cleared away the fog. He had indeed forgotten about this option.
At that moment, Mikoto's anxious voice came through, "Um, Senpai, if there's no way, it's okay. Forget about it."
"Hold on, let me think. There might be one solution."
To reassure her, he continued his conversation with Evolto.
"But there's one final question. If we use the Doubledriver, it means that two souls will share one body, right?"
"Regarding that," Evolto glanced at a certain genius physicist typing on the computer and said, "Why not ask someone to improve it? Someone who's a genius at making their own Driver."
Sento: "???"
