Chapter 38 - Trouble Started

"So Kotori, I don't have to deal with Nao Tomori's anymore?" Asked Touma to Kotori, just as he had just arrived at Yuragi Sou and Kotori suddenly called Touma into the living room.

"Yup, Nao Tomori was suddenly struck by lightning, her body was found near the Tokiwadai dormitory," Replied Kotori explaining. "It's very likely that the lightning released by Mikoto-san accidentally hit Nao Tomori who was watching Mikoto-san's room, since Nao Tomori's injuries were so severe, she won't be able to carry out her plan for at least the next few months."

"Sigh, it's good that I don't have to deal with a strange girl like her," Touma said as he sat down next to Kotori. "I'm feel lazy when it comes to dealing with a strange girl like Nao Tomori, who believes that the fantasy she is experiencing is a reality."

"Onii-chan in any case where I need your help, you always feel lazy," Kotori said who could only sigh deeply when she heard her sister's words. "And you will only show your diligent nature, only for the things you like"

"Well, it can't be helped," Touma said. "To me the things I don't like are unimportant and troublesome things, but if I don't take care of those kinds of things, then I'll also be the one who will be bothered so whether I like it or not I'm forced to handle all the cases you give me, Kotori."

"Kotori-san and Touma are still chatting in the living room," Index said who was currently holding the mug filled with milk that Chitose had provided for her. "While there is an anime that I want to watch, if the two of them are still chatting like that, I can't watch that anime at all, because the only TV in Yuragi Sou is in the living room."

"You have to be patient Index-chan," Chitose said who was wiping plates and glasses in the kitchen. "The two of them are discussing an important matter, so we shouldn't disturb the two of them."

"Hmmph alright," Index said while puffing out her cheeks.

"Touma-chii and Kotori-chan must be talking about Judgment matters that Kotori can't handle," Kirika said who was currently sitting next to Index in her normal form. "And whatever the case may be, it's not something we should meddle in. Because it must be quite a dangerous matter."

"Yeah, but I don't like it when Touma-san has to always handle the problems that Kotori-chan has," Ayu said with an annoyed look on her face. "He always called himself lazy, but he always helped people in need without expecting anything in return."

"Well, Touma-san is indeed that kind of person," Shizuka said who was sitting next to Ayu. "He's a slacker who likes to help others, and luckily Touma-san isn't a fool who thinks he's going to die if he doesn't help others, but he is someone who will only help people who really need help from him."

"I really don't understand what you just said Shizuka-chan," Kirika said with a confused look on her face. "Can you explain in words I can understand easily?"

"The meaning of what Shizuka-san said is, Touma-san is not someone who suffers from Aultrism, a mental illness where a person feels addicted to helping others and feels uncomfortable if he or she can't help others," Ayu explained. "Touma-san likes to help others, but he's not 'addicted' to helping others. He's the type of person who will only help someone if he can provide that help."

"Ah, so that's the meaning of the difficult words Shizuka-chan said earlier," Kirika said who smiled because she finally understood the difficult thing Shizuka said.

In the afternoon when Misaka Mikoto was sitting on a park bench where she often spent her time contemplating. She met a girl who looked very much like her, wearing a Tokiwadai uniform, and right now she was sitting next to Mikoto with an emotionless face and empty eyes.

Misaka Mikoto knew the identity of the girl next to her, but Mikoto didn't know what to do with her. And Mikoto was sure that apart from the girl currently next to her, there was another clone of her wandering around Academy City. And thinking about what kind of mess it would be when a clone of her wandered around Academy City, only made Mikoto's head spin.

Right now the only thing that distinguishes her from her clones is the google attached to her clone's head and the empty eyes that her clones have. Other than that, he and his clone were of the same height and face.

Mikoto wants to immediately go to the facility that has abused her DNA map to create a clone of herself and destroy the facility. But right now she couldn't do that, because if she left the clone that was currently in front of her, she feel afraid that serious trouble would occur.

***

Dozens of clones of Misaka Mikoto had now become a pile of corpses, and standing on top of the pile of corpses was a white-haired, pale-skinned man with a thin body. The face of the man looked extremely evil and frightening, and the evil smile that appeared on his face, could make anyone feel frightened or disgusted.

The man's name was Accellator, the number one Level Five Esper who appeared right after Touma became the number zero of a Level Five Esper. And currently he is on a mission to reach a higher power level which is Level 6.

At the same time as Mikoto who was sitting on a park bench with her clone.

"Why do we have to return to this city again, exactly one week after we were defeated by Kamijou Touma!" Stiyl Magnus said looking very angry. "I don't want to be in this damn city! This city just reminds me of my defeat at the hands of Kamijou Touma who didn't allow the two of us to meet Index!"

"We have no other choice Stiyl," Kaori said with a sigh. "Because we were ordered to capture Aurelous Izzard, a Vatican member who is believed to have joined the Zodiac and obtained a power increase from that terrorist group, plus Laura-Sama forced us to check whether Kamijou Touma is the fourth ancestor or not!"

"Tccch, our bastard boss is really troublesome!" Stiyl said as he opened the small box containing the cigarettes he loved so much. "Why does he have to give us such troublesome and unimportant orders. I still have a lot to do in Necessarius! And my students still need my help to develop their magic power!"

"I admit that Laura-Sama is a jerk and sometimes childish," Kaori said. "But like it or not we are her subordinates and she is our boss, so as long as we are still members of Neccessarius we are obliged to follow all the orders he gives us."

Kanzaki Kaori, who secretly contacted Chitose, after Chitose gave Kaori an untraceable phone number. Already knowing Laura Stuart's true identity after Chitose told Kaori all the bad things about Necessarius. Kaori didn't believe Chitose's words at first, but after she checked herself whether Chitose's words were true or not. Kaori finally realized that Chitose had not lied to her.

Kaori actually wanted to escape from Necessarius and return to Japan. But she knew that if she ran away, Necessarius' side would be suspicious of her So she chose to hold on while pretending to be loyal to Necessarius, and waited for the right time to escape..
