The sister’s calm almost mechanical tone surprised Mikoto, Hinagiku, Flandre, and Ikaros . Mikoto herself isn’t sure why a sister is here .
“What is a Misaka clone doing here?”
Hinagiku gasped . She tilted her head in confusion .
“I thought Shokuhou Misaki sent them all to the Giant Beasts Forest to grind experience points? Why are they here all of a sudden?”
Mikoto opened the door and a Misaka clone who looked exactly like Mikoto stood there with a military visor on her head .
“Eh?”
Flandre pointed her finger at the identical Misaka in front of her .
“There’s 2 Misaknee?!”
“It’s really you!”
Mikoto cheered .
“Yes, Onee-sama, Misaka has come to see you says Misaka in an excited manner…”
Mikoto’s smile froze . She’s apparently excited but her expressionless face would suggest otherwise .
Mikoto decided to ignore the sister’s antics .
“Anyway, come in . ”
Mikoto invited her clone into the house . However, a charming voice came from behind the clone .
“Ara, Misaksan, it hurts when you ignore me like this…”
Mikoto’s lip twitched and she so didn’t want to deal with this right now .
“I am imagining it… just my imaginations…”
“Oh, Misaksan doesn’t want to see me, I shouldn’t have brought a sister here it seems…”
The owner of the voice replied in an upset tone .
“That’s enough you two…”
Hinagiku came out with a helpless look .
“Just get in, if those annoying bastards see you, it’s going to be more troublesome than whatever you two have going on here . ”
“Hinagiku is a woman of reason, unlike somebody…”
Shokuhou Misaki had a smug grin . She looked classy with her gold-gilded uniform and her lustrous blonde hair adorned by sunlight . If only she did something about her habit of messing with Mikoto .
Shokuhou Misaki was accompanied by Astrea, Kinuhata Saiai, Frenda, and Takitsubou Rikou . This looked like a formal summit due to how all the executives of Starlight Queen gathered here .
“Hinagiku, Mikoto, you two looked like you have it super not fun, what’s with the locked doors?”
Kinuhata Saiai greeted them in a cheeky manner . She sounded like she’s enjoying their misery .
Hinagiku rolled her eyes at her . Ignoring her, she walked back into the house . Mikoto pulled her sister into the villa . In the end, Kinuhata Saiai didn’t get the satisfaction she wanted, the 5 of them entered the house .
“Are you doing well in the Giant Beast Forest? What about the others? Are they doing fine?”
Mikoto started bombarding the Misaka sister with questions . She leered at Shokuhou Misaki almost to the point of growling at her . She’s going to chew Shokuhou Misaki out if she didn’t like what she’s going to hear .
“Onee-sama, Misaka and the others have been well . Misaka answered Onee-sama’s question while thinking if there are any other interesting topics to bring up…”
“You’re still talking in a weird manner, huh?”
Hinagiku awkwardly laughed .
Mikoto wanted to ask a bunch of stuff as well so she didn’t bother to comment on their weird manner of speech .
“Where are the others?”
“It’s only me . The others are still in Giant Beast Forest, Misaka explains with nothing but the truth . Misaka wonders how Misaka is going to bring up the subject of asking Onee-sama for help…”
The others are shocked by what she had said .
“Help?!”
Mikoto stood up and she’s visibly distressed .
“What’s going on? Are the sisters in danger or something?”
The Misaka clone shook her head in denial .
“Calm down, Onee-sama, the others are not in danger, Misaka hurriedly explains as Onee-sama started panicking…”
Mikoto isn’t assured yet .
“Why do you need help then?”
Shokuhou Misaki finally chimed in .
“Let me explain . ”
The clone stopped talking much to Mikoto’s displeasure, she didn’t like how the clone followed her nemesis’ order .
Shokuhou Misaki approached her .
“It’s not an urgent help it’s more like a request for a bit of aid…”
“Why would you need aid then?”
They urged Shokuhou Misaki to go on .
“There have been weird occurrences in the Giant Beast Forest…”
Shokuhou Misaki got straight to the point .
“The monsters in the forest usually stay solitary and have their own territories . The monsters would fight each other if their territories clashed . ”
“But, today, the sisters who were out hunting beasts noticed how some territorial monsters are apparently in a cooperative partnership . ”
“The monsters are ganging up?”
Hinagiku and Mikoto yelled in surprise .
“How is that possible?”
“I don’t know yet…”
Shokuhou Misaki shook her head, she had a grim look .
“I don’t know why they are teaming up but this does not bode well for the sisters . ”
“Explain yourself . ”
Mikoto is freaking out right now, her low voice belied her anxiety .
“Calm down, there is no immediate danger to the sisters even if the monsters teamed up . ”
Shokuhou Misaki said in a cold tone .
“It concerns me that the beasts aren’t just teaming up, they are working together to drive humans away from the forest . ”
“Driving humans away?”
Hinagiku and Mikoto exchanged looks . They looked puzzled but they also knew something is up, monsters don’t just team up for no reason .
“This is the problematic part . ”
Shokuhou Misaki sighed, she continued with a grave tone .
“The sisters needed some time to demobilize and somehow or the other the beasts cornered them in the forest . They are still holding their own against the monsters but I don’t think they can keep it up for long . ”
“What?!”
Mikoto yelled in shock .
