"You saved them?"
"But… why?"
What role does Shokuhou Misaki play in this matter?
Misaka Mikoto was full of doubts at this moment.
"Why…"
Shokuhou Misaki looked at the Misaka sisters sleeping in the container, with deep memories in her eyes.
"Because Dolly…"
"Dolly?"
Misaka Mikoto didn't understand the meaning of this name.
"Dolly… is my friend…"
For the first time, Shokuhou Misaki showed a sad expression and told a story in a low voice…or her past.
Before entering secondary school.
She was undergoing experiments at the research facility "Talent House".
Arranged to help restore peace of mind to a girl who had lost her only friend.
The girl's name was Dolly.
Her ability at the time could not completely change memories, but it could change Dolly's cognition.
Dolly, who has changed her cognition, will treat her as her friend and watch her carefully.
Shokuhou Misaki comes to Dolly's place every day to take care of the 30.
During their mutual communication, she gradually regarded Dolly as a friend.
It was just the act of deception that filled her with guilt.
But in fact, Dolly had already discovered through the smell that Shokuhou Misaki was not a warning sign.
But Dolly didn't reveal it.
Dolly's condition remains stable.
But suddenly one day something unusual happened.
Her life was slipping away.
When Dolly was dying.
Dolly begs Shokuhou Misaki to tell her her real name.
It was only then that Shokuhou Misaki realized that Dolly truly regarded her as a friend.
This had a great impact on Shokuhou Misaki's spirit.
But the researchers are not to be trifled with.
Both Dolly and she were just tools in their eyes.
The researchers of the "Exterior" project originally planned to find an opportunity to deal with Shokuhou Misaki after the "external brain" was completed.
but.
Shokuhou Misaki had guessed this long ago and had been prepared for it.
As her abilities develop further, she becomes able to do more and more.
Long before, she used her ability of mental control to control some of the junior researchers.
And let them tamper with other research and control these people.
Just expand the scope of control in secret.
then.
In the end, all the people in the talent workshop who were related to the Exterior Project were brainwashed by her.
Shokuhou Misaki becomes the new owner of the Saigoku house.
With the help of talented people's workshop.
She understood a lot of secrets.
This includes Dolly's identity.
Among them are the two secret plans: the mass production plan for people with special abilities and the absolute plan for people with special abilities.
The plan to mass-produce people with special abilities is the origin of Dolly's birth.
Dolly is not actually an ordinary human, but a clone.
Shokuhou Misaki was extremely angry when she learned about this crazy experiment that did not treat her sisters as lives or human beings.
Even though she hated Misaka Mikoto for being brainless, she didn't hate her sisters.
Even love the house and love the dog.
Because of Dolly, she was also worried about her other sisters.
Therefore, we have always intervened in some research institutes.
These sisters are the ones she saved and are still in hibernation.
Shokuhou Misaki didn't dare wake them up.
Because these cloned sisters have genetic defects, their lifespan is very short.
She didn't want him to suffer the same pain as Dolly after he was born.
But these sisters are nothing compared to the total number of 20,000 Misaka sisters required for the Absolute Ability Project.
Even she didn't know how to save all the Misaka sisters.
"this…"
Misaka Mikoto found it unbelievable after hearing this story.
"Are you saying that Dolly is the original Misaka sister?"
She didn't expect that Shokuhou Misaki had such a past.
"Um…"
Because of this past event, Shokuhou Misaki also became depressed.
"It's obviously your fault, but you let them bear this pain, Misaka Mikoto, you should repent!"
"…"
Misaka Mikoto pursed her lips.
"Yes… this is all my fault, so I want to make amends, I want to put an end to everything!"
"This experimental plan must be terminated before confession."
"Shokuhou Misaki, can you help me? Even if it's just to help them!"
She requested sincerely.
"…"
Silence.
Shokuhou Misaki, who had suppressed her emotions, sneered.
"Oh, don't hold me back."
Hearing this answer, Misaka Mikoto finally smiled.
"It's still unclear who's holding us back!"
…
Windowless building.
[Crowley, the two chess pieces unexpectedly cooperated, do you have any ideas? ]
The golden angel Aiwass asked.
"Gulp~"
The solution in the container is agitated with bubbles.
There were multiple screens unfolding in front of Aleister who was hanging upside down.
One of them was Misaka Mikoto and Shokuhou Misaki who had reunited.
This was another development that he had not expected.
They are just two chess pieces that can be manipulated, no need to worry.
[Crowley, have you always been so 250% confident? ]
What does the word "confidence" mean and how does it express in people?
Aleister did not answer him.
Because Edwards' words are meaningless.
Even though he spoke of confidence, it did not mean that Edwards knew what human confidence meant.
[Okay, I don't understand human emotions, but aren't you afraid that your plan won't succeed? ]
I am confident, so I have nothing to fear.
What is self-confidence?
…
Ignored Edwards.
He called up a new picture.
The picture shows a hedgehog-headed boy shouting "bad luck".
[Are you going to move this chess piece? It seems that you are not indifferent, Crowley. This is not confidence. ]
hehe…
Rather than confidence, I would rather call it strategic planning.
[Another new word.]
So, what is self-confidence?
…
