There's really nothing left, says Misaka as Misaka feels frustrated that his guess was correct. 05 Accel: Just forget about all that. LO: Eh? But... Accel: It means she's returned to her proper path. Accel: Tch. Accel: Hey. 06 Accel: Go to where I picked her up. There won't be anything left. Accel: It would normally be preserved, but there won't be any evidence anything even happened. Accel: Ah? LO(outside): Ah ha ha LO: What does that mean? asks Misaka as Misaka smiles and waits for you to explain. Accel: Think for yourself. Accel: Sigh. Just go there. And if it doesn't make sense then... Accel: you can... 07 LO: He was exactly right. LO: He was so right that it kind of ticks Misaka off. 08 Girl: Oh, man~ Girl: There's nothing left. Girl: Hm? 09 Girl: Oh, a little kid. You're in a weird place. SFX: Step step LO: Misaka isn't a little kid! Girl: Ha ha ha! That's what all the little kids say! SFX: Spin 10 LO: W LO: h LO: y LO: are you spinning Misaka!? Girl: Wa ha ha ha ha LO: Quit laughing and answer Misaka!! SFX: Slump... Girl: Wa ha ha ha ha! That's quite a look on your face, little kid! LO: And whose fault is that? says Misaka as Misaka asks her question. 11 LO: Hm? You smell kind of funny. LO: says Misaka as Misaka looks skeptical and not just to cause the pervert trouble. Girl: Really? I don't smell anything. LO: Is it a kind of oil? 12 Girl: That's cause I'm a cook. You're probably smelling some kind of food. LO: Wow! Then you can make delicious food!? LO: Ah... Girl: Well, you're not supposed to admit it yourself... 13 Girl: But I know I can cook some food a little kid would enjoy. SFX: Sparkle Girl: Although I want to have fun with you right now. LO: Nooooooo SFX: Spin spin 14 Girl: That should be enough. I'm satisfied. Girl: Okay, what to do now? LO: Misaka remembered she has plans, so she'll be going, says Misaka as Misaka makes an excuse to escape the pervert. SFX: Wobble wobble SFX: Wobble wobble LO: Misaka is going where Anti-Skill is, so you'll be arrested if you follow her! says Misaka as Misaka warns you! 15 Girl: Don't be silly! The authorities can't stop love! LO: Don't say weird things with such confidence, says Misaka as Misaka feels indignant! Girl: Bye! LO: Bleh bleh bleh bleh! 16 17 LO: Ah, you're finally here! 18 Yomikawa: What do you want? LO: Yooomiiikaaawaaa, says Misaka as Misaka makes a final check while resigning herself to the fact that he might have been right. Yomikawa: What are you talking about? LO: It's about a girl called Himegi Matsuri. 19 LO: Mgh! LO: Fgahh! Yomikawa: You damn criminal! You need a talking to in the interrogation room! LO: Waaaaah! Misaka's being arrested! Yomikawa: Of course Anti-Skill is arresting a suspicious person. LO: O-oh, yeah! That's right! SFX: Slam SFX: Click 20 Yomikawa: Phew LO: Misaka wants you to apologize to the mouth you covered at full strength, says Misaka as Misaka... Yomikawa: Yeah...sorry about that one. LO: Will there be katsudon? Yomikawa: I can get you a drink. Yomikawa: There's something I want to ask you as well. Yomikawa: Where did you hear that name? 21 Yomikawa: Himegi Matsuri. LO: Misaka will tell you what happened... 22 Yomikawa: Really, what is with Accelerator? Is he haunted by an evil spirit? Tell him to go see an exorcist. LO: Where is Hime-sama? asks Misaka as Misaka tries just to be sure. Yomikawa: I can't tell you. Because who knows who might be listening. LO: Sigh... LO: That's what he expected, says Misaka as Misaka feels a bit impressed 23 LO: He predicted all of this would happen, says Misaka as Misaka begins to suspect you're in league with him to make it happen this way. Yomikawa: What? LO(edge): Sigh... LO: So that isn't it, says Misaka as Misaka gives up and applauds his predictions. Yomikawa: What is all this about? 24 LO: He said Hime-sama... LO: Himegi Matsuri... LO: ...is a person of interest in a case Anti-Skill is pursuing and Anti-Skill is trying to keep the case a secret even within Anti-Skill... LO: And he said it probably has to do with the Board of Directors or another executive and that has created some discord within Anti-Skill... LO: This is accurate, isn't it? says Misaka as Misaka sees the answer written on your face. 25 Yomikawa: Did he get that information by hacking us? You didn't help him, did you? LO: He didn't. He apparently worked it out from the shape of the drone he saw and from the phone conversation with you... LO: answers Misaka as Misaka wants to know what's going on with his brain. Yomikawa: I'd like to know about his brain too. Yomikawa: But right now...it's just scary. LO: Misaka agrees. Yomikawa: Sigh... Yomikawa: I give up. Yomikawa: I'll tell you, so lend me your ear. 26 Yomikawa: I can't give the details, but Himegi is a person of interest in an important case. That was originally because she helped a suspect escape. Yomikawa: And during the confusion, she seems to have started doubting us, so I have to take measures to regain her trust. 27 LO: Then Hime-sama is safe? Yomikawa: Yes, she's safe. LO: Thank goodness... SFX: Glance LO: Can Misaka see her? Yomikawa: Nope. LO: Didn't think so~ Yomikawa: And one more thing. 28 SFX: Creak Yomikawa: She's being pursued. I've heard a dark side group called Full Course has begun to move. Yomikawa: You get back to him. 29 LO: Ahh, ahh. Misaka didn't get to meet her. LO: But there's no helping that, says Misaka as Misaka placates herself. LO: Misaka needs to head back and give him a report on what happened. 30 SFX: Reach LO: Eh? SFX: Grab Girl: Little kid, we meet again! This must be destiny! LO: It's not! Margin: She found a clue, but it was a disastrous day! Box: To be continued next issue.
