The color of the sky turned into black like the dark night sea.
The fireworks display ended a few hours ago, and the seaside town exuded the smell of the sea.
The scenery on the seaside is also very beautiful.
Tonight is the first quarter moon.
The shape of the moon in the sky is like a mocking mouth. The moonlight is very weak, so weak that it can be ignored. The huge rock was the platform where fireworks were previously set off.
There is no waiting here. The color of the area at hand is the same as the color of the sea not far away, forming a deep black area.
Misaka Mikoto was alone, with her hands on the guardrail, staring blankly at the colorful lights of the small town in the distance.
There are blue and white sparks all around.
Things like electric shock may give others the impression of anxiety and pain, but to her it is the gentlest light.
Even now, she will never forget the moment when her abilities were first developed. She hid under the quilt alone and played with the little sparks all night. The little light of electric shock was like a flash in the dark night.
Dots of stars. At that time, I was seriously looking forward to it. When I grow up and become stronger, I might be able to create a starry sky one day. This is Misaka Mikoto who was full of fantasy about the future when she was a child.
But at this moment, she already felt that she was not qualified to have such a beautiful dream.
Because of his own negligence, his most important friend's whereabouts are unknown.
Hold your hands tightly and then open them again.
Obviously something like that had happened in the mall before, but he was still so lax. Looking back now, Ji Ba's appearance was a bit too coincidental.
"It's great to come to Academy City..."
Misaka Mikoto's small lips uttered each word gently.
It's great to be able to come to Academy City... This is what Minato told her personally on the way to buy a drink. Indeed, Misaka Mikoto did think so at the time. But. However, if you come to this place...
It means that if something like this happens, then Misaka Mikoto would rather wish that Minato had not come to this place.
Even Misaka Mikoto would not know Chen Xiaofeng.
She and Minato have not known each other for a long time, but Misaka Mikoto deeply felt Minato's gentleness and attentiveness. However, she is such a beautiful girl who obviously did nothing bad, but she didn't know it due to her own negligence.
Where to go. Unable to find her whereabouts, no way to find her. Misaka Mikoto felt guilty for that person. With such a lack of tension, she was no longer qualified to stay by his side, right?
Misaka Mikoto will never forget Chen Xiaofeng's eyes and expression when she found out that Minato's whereabouts were unknown.
The kind of tension and fear that goes deep into your bones.
Others may not feel it, but Misaka Mikoto, who is related to Minato's disappearance, feels it deeply.
Misaka Mikoto was very scared, afraid that Chen Xiaofeng would always look at her like that.
Obviously I just wanted to protect Minato at that time, but...but...
It would have been nice if those driving armors could have been dealt with faster. It would have been nice if Minato had been allowed to hide aside.
Because of my error in judgment, I slightly overestimated those things, which led to Minato's disappearance.
"..."
Misaka Mikoto felt extremely regretful for her carelessness.
She was too confident in her own judgment, thinking that the other person was a warm and sunny boy and lowered her vigilance. In fact, except for his name, Misaka Mikoto didn't know any information about the other person at all.
It is not difficult to see that everything that has happened so far is a plan with Minato as the goal.
Last time in the mall, only Minato had no formal contact with those armors, so this time he directly used kidnapping!
Another thing Misaka Mikoto is careless about is that Minato is an incompetent person and Misaka Mikoto is a person with super powers. Subconsciously, Misaka Mikoto thinks so - how could Academy City use a large number of incompetent people for experiments?
Woolen cloth?
This kind of thinking is also the reason why Misaka Mikoto lets Minato and Jiba go with confidence.
Could it be that from this perspective, I am the same as those "researchers"? Defined by the level of ability? Misaka Mikoto leaned against the railing of the previous fireworks viewing area.
"Why……"
...Why is this the result? Mikoto said softly with trembling lips.
However, the reason is very simple, and Misaka Mikoto can answer it herself. It is all because the confident Misaka Mikoto was careless and handed Minato over to a few people with confidence. Now no one knows when they became students.
No one knows the research target of Garden City, and the main reason why they captured Minato.
Misaka Mikoto has always been a passionate and helpful person, someone who lets her companions go first in times of danger.
However, because he "let his companions go first", he caused the fact that Chen Xiaofeng's sister disappeared.
"ah……"
Therefore, Misaka Mikoto hopes to prevent this from happening no matter what.
Misaka Mikoto has decided that even if she sacrifices her own life, she must find Minato. This is not only to compensate for her fault, but more importantly, Misaka Mikoto no longer wants to see Chen Xiaofeng's eyes like that again.
Of course, Misaka Mikoto doesn't think risking one's life is a cool thing.
No one would want to lose their life. In fact, Misaka Mikoto was trembling, and her fingertips gradually lost color and became cold. There seemed to be a large amount of noise surrounding the back of her head, and she was completely unable to think calmly.
Such a life-and-death decision reminded her of that night. The night she fought against the strongest in Academy City in order to stop the ridiculous "Absolute Abilities Evolution Plan."
It was a really scary night.
If possible, I would really like to shout for help.
However, that is absolutely unacceptable behavior. This is all done by one person, and can only be borne by one person.
If there is a clue... Misaka Mikoto will definitely do it at all costs.
If there are clues... But, where are the clues?
Misaka Mikoto raised her head and looked at the dark sea, with the sea breeze mixed with the salty smell of the sea.
The smell of the sea made Misaka Mikoto slowly relax. She knew that from this moment on, she had to face it alone and make up for her mistakes alone.
The trembling body slowly calmed down.
The sea breeze is very comfortable.
At this time, a pleasant sound of the organ flowed into Misaka Mikoto's ears along with the sea breeze.
In the darkness, a figure gradually walked towards Misaka Mikoto.
The figure walked very slowly.
As the figure walked in, the sound of the organ gradually became clearer.
As she got closer, Misaka Mikoto could see clearly what she was wearing - she must be a street performer.
