Chapter 27

Third PoV

Not long after Saten comes to help but the problem is already solved along with her was Wannai Kinuho and Awatsuki Maaya, a friend of Kongo-san.

"Kongo-san, are you okay? Zena-senpai, what happens to Kongo-san?" Saten asked as she looks at Kongo-san.

"Saten-san, I'm alright! Fortunately, Zena-senpai comes as that man was about to kick me." Kongo answers her and point to Baba who was taken away by Antiskill on her sitting position as she still weak from the effects of Nanomachine.

"Fortunately, nothing terrible happens." said Wannai as she sigh in relief.

"Yeah, and this lady is! Aren't you Zena-Senpai? I'm always a fan of you senpai." said Awatsuki looking at her with adoration.

"Really? Thank you! You know me, but I still didn't know the both of you." Zena said as she smiles at them.

"Ahh, how rude of me! My name is Awatsuki Maaya and this is." she said and point at Wanna.

"My name is Wannai Kinuho, nice to meet you Senpai!" she said while bowing her head.

"Nice to meet you too, Wannai-san, Awatsuki-san. Can I leave Kongo-san to the three of you? I have to go and search for Misaka Sister." she said and bid them farewell.

"Be careful Senpai. It seems that this incident is not as it looks on the surface." said Kongo-san.

"You don't have to be worried about me." Zena answers her with a smirk.

"Ahh, before I go. Let me activated my power first and undone Shokuhou's power if you are in her control." She said and activated Void End and Saten was like being awakened from her sleep as she remembered that she was friend with Mikoto-chan.

"How terrible, I have to call Shirai-san and Uiharu to tell them about this! Also, apologize to Misaka-san for forgetting her. She must be hurting a lot from this incident." Saten shouts and starts to make a call while Zena takes her leave.

Zena PoV

I left the girls and now walked to Shokuhou hiding place. It was easy finding someone when you have eyes everywhere in the city.

"You've been a naughty girl for a while Shokuhou-chan! You should have sent her to me when you find her since I was their guardian for a while now!" I said as I see Sokuhou Misaki standing alone.

"Kamijo Zena-senpai! So you know about what happened?" she asks as she looks at me.

"hmm, of course! My information network is as strong as Aleister in this City. I thought about stopping you since I'm sure that you are led by the nose by that old geezer. But, I'll let you proceeds but you have to work together with Mikoto-chan. Since his target this time is her! You don't mind working with her for a while right Mikoto-chan?" I said as I look behind me and Mikoto appear since she's been eavesdropping for a while now.

"Senpai, I trust you so you must have your reason for sending me into danger when you know that I'm being a target. But, can you at least tell me what is this all about?" she asked after heaving a sigh.

"Of course, I don't like you to be in danger so I will tell you everything you need to know!" I said and walk toward a bench while prompting them to sit beside me.

" As I said, the target this time is Mikoto-chan and the one that targets you is Kihara Gensei. He is trying to use Shokuhou-chan brain the Exterior to control the Misaka Network in order to force Mikoto-chan to reach level 6. But, by using this way. She will lose her rationality and move on instinct that he can guide where to attack. Now, the reason I let this is 1. I want to catch Gensei and kill him, 2. I want you to reach Level 6 Mikoto-chan, even though it will be temporary since I can stop you anytime. The reason is so that you can increase your Source Index in a short time and make it easier for you to reach Level 6 later when we train. So, you up to it Mikoto-chan?" I asked her and look into her eyes.

"Hmph, I'm not afraid of hard work. You can count on me senpai. But, do you have to kill him?" asked Mikoto.

"Yes, the sooner he disappeared from this world the more children we saved from his experimentation. Like how he is the one who uses your DNA map the way it is now and how he uses the child error for his Crystalize Esper projects and many more. We have to stop him!" I look at her seriously.

"Alright then, when you say it like that. He is the worst scum on earth." said Mikoto.

"So, ready to work together Shokuhou-chan?" I ask her with a smile.

"If you work in earnest without playing around, I will reward you by making your body become fit and strong. Not weak like now. Don't be afraid since I will follow both of you around and ready to move when we reach our objective." I said with a smile.

"Now, of you go! I will observe you from afar!" with that, I use Geppo and leave them alone.

With Mikoto and Shokuhou.

"Just to let you know. I don't trust you and if it was not for Senpai I won't ever think of teaming up with you!" said Mikoto as she looks at Shokuhou.

" It's not like a want to be trusted by you. It was Kamijo Senpai that grouping us out. If you want to back out I'm okay with that." she said in her usual haughty tone.

"Hmph, like hell I do that! Since senpai trusts me enough to do it then I'll do it!" she said and start to walk and Shokuhou follow her.

"You awfully trusting her. Even though she sent you to danger." Shokuhou said a little subdue now and lead her to board a truck.

"She's just like that! That's how she shows her love. She even sends her own little brother to battle just so he can grow up from danger. She said to prepare him in case he really gets himself in danger. This way she can observe and save him when it was critical not like if he brave danger alone where she can't reach him." Makoto answers her and follow her in.

"Ahh, I see. Like we are now, She will sweep in and save us if we really get in danger!" she sits as the truck start to move.

"Yeah, like that. By the way, where are we going?" Mikoto asked her.

"My base, since his goal is to use the network. His first objective must be the Exterior and the clones that are in the same place. At first, I was going to go to the place he has a meeting. But, after hearing what Kamijo-senpai says, I thought that it was a decoy for us while he goes after the clones." she said her deduction.

"I see, good then!" Mikoto said curtly and also sit down to rest while Shokuhou look at her for a while before closing her eyes.
