45290020 Narration: Plasma as hot as 10000°C is gathering in the skies above Academy City...!! Chapter 38: August 21 (6) Accelerator: GYHAHAHAHAHA Accelerator: This is great! Accelerator: It's like my own body! Accelerator: Like moving my own arms and legs! Accelerator: This feeling of conquering Accelerator: all of space!!! 45290049 Accelerator: It's gradually spreading. Accelerator: If it covers the entire world... Accelerator: Kakah! Accelerator: It seems it's true that fightin' a strong opponent is the shortcut to leveling up, Accelerator: Eh? Lowlife! 45290078 Accelerator: As a token o' my gratitude, I'll remove every last trace- 45290162 Mikoto: Say... Mikoto: You can communicate with the other "Sisters", right? Mikoto: I want you to call a few of them here. Mikoto: Even I should be able to create a diversion to let them escape... 10032: Oneesama... 45290307 10032: If Misaka interferes with the target, then the target's attention will become directed towards Misaka. 10032: During that diversion, please take that boy and... Mikoto: Geez. That's... Mikoto: [Obstructed by wind sfx]y role to play, isn't it? 10032: ...? 45290418 Mikoto: You played around with me a number of times, didn't you? Mikoto: It's because humans are following directives made by a machine. Mikoto: So, Mikoto: did you come because you were worried, or because you thought I couldn't be forgiven? Mikoto: Because there's no other way than for me to die. It's fine like that, right? 45290441 Mikoto: ...Help me... 45290597 Accelerator: What? Accelerator: What's happenin'!? Accelerator: The plasma's dissipatin'... Accelerator: There were no mistakes in my calculations. Accelerator: And that irregular eel-like movement just now was definitely not a natural wind! Accelerator: A wind user? Accelerator: No... 45290944 Accelerator: The windmills Accelerator: are runnin' in reverse...? Accelerator: Wait... I've heard about this. Accelerator: Electrical motors will start running if exposed to electricity... Accelerator: They...!! Accelerator: Dammit. But what does it mean? Accelerator: It's not like those windmills are just runnin' recklessly... Accelerator: They're bein' utilized to disrupt my calculations. Accelerator: Ah. 45291001 Accelerator: She's relaying what she's seeing across the network... Accelerator: I'll crush you! 45291111 Mikoto: I won't let you. Accelerator: ...I don't understand ya. Accelerator: That fallen lowlife over there, and you, why are ya coverin' for a bunch of dolls? 45291339 Accelerator: They're failed mass-produced scraps of you. Accelerator: The one who should feel the most annoyed about that in the whole world is you. 10032: ... Accelerator: You dislike seein' somethin' with the same face as yourself being broken? Accelerator: That's not somethin' to lose your life over. Accelerator: You can't stand the fact that someone else will reach Level 6 before you? Accelerator: Or is this atonement for creatin' the origin o' these experiments? 45291556 Accelerator: You don't think that before "God's Intellect", Accelerator: that something like this could atone for- Mikoto: I don't. Mikoto: They're my sisters. 45291623 Mikoto: It's because these girls are my little sisters. Mikoto: That's all there is to it. 45291736 Mikoto: I'm sorry... Mikoto: I know I don't have any right to call you that, but... Mikoto: will you allow me to stand in this position just this once? 10032: ...Yes. Mikoto: Heheh. Mikoto: Alright, let's go. Mikoto: I won't let even one more die!! 45291950 Accelerator: Kuh Accelerator: Kukuh Accelerator: And here I was wonderin' what you'd say. Accelerator: Playing make-believe and sayin' that you're sisters? How worthless. Accelerator: You won't let me kill even one more? Don't get ahead of yourself, third-rate. Accelerator: You can't even buy time. Accelerator: It's the same as eyesight tests that only go up to 20/20. Accelerator: Because the highest Level in Academy City is only 5, Accelerator: I've no choice but to be grouped with you! Accelerator: This is gettin' tiresome, so I'll just kill the both of ya... Accelerator: !? 45292158 Accelerator: No way... Touma: *cough* Accelerator: Just how many does he think I've killed 'til now? Accelerator: I know so many ways to break a human, it's sickening. 45292254 Accelerator: There's no way he should be able to get up... Accelerator: ...!! Accelerator: What am I doin'? Accelerator: He's just about dead there. Accelerator: Even if the winds have been sealed, Accelerator: I can finish 'im off just by touching him with my fingertip. Accelerator: You're funny, you... 45292293 Accelerator: You're really funny!! 45292371 Touma: Clench your teeth, strongest. 45292475 Touma: My weakest is going to ring out just a little. Box: Why won't he break...? Box: He's protectin'... the dolls...? Box: Just one more step... to absolute power. Box: Why am I...? 45292688 Box: This power will one day make the world itself its enemy... Box: It might really destroy everything. Suit: However, Suit: if you evolve beyond "the strongest", something might change. Scientist: In order to do so, Scientist: you need to follow the plan and go through with the experiments. Box: Marmots. Box: Dolls. Box: Clones. Box: If power breeds conflict, Box: then you just need to attain absolute power that will deter any will to fight. Box: If you do that... 45292885 Background: Then maybe one day Box: If I do that, Background: I won’t... ve to hur... yone agai- 45292957 Touma: The Sisters also lived with all their might... Mikoto: These girls are my... 45293005 Accelerator: ...Really... Accelerator: What am I doin'...? 45293096 Narration: The sound of the dropped coin announces the end of the battle... 45293243 A certain gentlemanly Accelerator Accelerator: Feelin' drowsy... Voice: I'm sorry, Accelerator; we've had a bit of trouble. Voice: Because of an accident with materials, we weren't able to make a lab sample for the experiment in time. Accelerator: Wha!? Voice: But don't worry Voice: We have prepared another that matured as much as possible. Accelerator: ... Voice: Please close your eyes to the minor differences in specs. Accelerator: I refuse! Voice: !? Voice: Is there a problem!?
