Then everyone looked at Misaka Mikoto with some pity. She had worked tirelessly for several nights, sabotaging the laboratory, and they thought the experiment was completely solved, but it was being carried out in secret.
Every day, Misaka Sisters are dying. How painful it must be for Misaka Mikoto to know this.
Academy City World
"The 1th experiment... The last laboratory showed signs of halting the plan, but that's probably just for show! It's continuing behind the scenes." Misaka Mikoto gritted her teeth, but she knew now wasn't the time to be upset; she needed more information.
"Heh... After all this dawdling, it's finally here." Accelerator on the other side also showed a slight interest, revealing a somewhat manic smile. He wanted to see if this Kamijou Touma could really defeat him.
P.S.: The "Shangqin Party" and the "Queen Party" are constantly switching sides...
Chapter 338 Let's call it Dog... even though it's a cat.
(This is written from the perspectives of both Railgun and A Certain Magical Index, so the dialogue may differ slightly, as they complement each other. Railgun also covers some points that A Certain Magical Index didn't explain clearly.)
The scene shifts to Touma Kamijou's perspective. Still confused after all that, Touma, carrying a huge pile of drinks, walks home in the sunset.
"It's so hot... my hands are so cold... my body feels so heavy..."
Just then, a tennis ball bounced and rolled towards him, but the perpetually unlucky Touma Kamijou, of course, wouldn't overlook such small details and became more alert.
Touma Kamijou immediately stopped in his tracks, slightly adjusting his footing to the side. The tennis ball stopped precisely in front of him; if he had continued forward, he would undoubtedly have fallen.
Seeing this, Touma Kamijou, carrying a bunch of drinks in his arms, was quite pleased with himself. "Heh heh...--That was dangerous."
He was certain he would have fallen if he had stepped on the tennis ball, and just as Kamijou was thinking this... a sudden gust of wind blew, as if it had been calculated, delivering the tennis ball precisely to his feet.
"Huh? Wait...wait!" Touma Kamijou, who had stepped on it, instantly fell flat on his back, the large amount of drinks he was carrying scattered all over the floor. He scratched the back of his head, which was sore from the fall, and muttered, "What bad luck!!"
Just then, a dark shadow suddenly loomed over Touma Kamijou's head. After recognizing Misaka Mikoto, he asked in confusion, "You...didn't you just leave with my sister?!"
"I just walked from there, the direction Misaka came from before she finished talking about the paper." Misaka looked down at Touma with completely emotionless eyes and said, "If needed, Misaka can help pick it up." Misaka made this suggestion with a sigh.
[It was only then that Touma noticed Mikoto was wearing night-vision goggles, and then he exclaimed in realization, "What's going on? Oh, it's my sister. You really do look like Mikoto."]
[Misaka squatted down to pick up the drinks from the ground, and continued expressionlessly, "Speaking of which, where are these drinks going?" Misaka asked, her hands full of drinks.]
Because he was squatting, Touma's eyes caught sight of something he shouldn't have, and he blushed slightly. "Hmm? No need, I can carry it myself."
"Speaking of which, where are these drinks going to be moved?" Misaka urged again.
[After snapping out of his daze, Touma immediately looked away. "I already told you you don't need to help. You have no obligation to help me."]
[Misaka's voice seemed to become more agitated, almost impatient: "Answer me now!!"]
[Kamijou Touma sensed that refusing would lead to something bad, so he quickly gave up resisting and obediently let the Misaka Sisters help carry the drinks back home.]
"Sigh... It's no use. You know how unlucky you are, so stop struggling. You can't escape it. Just step on it honestly, at least you'll fall in a more stylish way."
"This wind is blowing quite loudly. It just goes to show that history always repeats itself; what's meant to be will be... As for good fortune?! Do you really think you still have that?"
"Sigh..." The people from other worlds sighed as they watched Touma Kamijou try to dodge the tennis ball with snake-like movements. They all thought they had dodged the tennis ball, which would definitely make them fall if they stepped on it, but the wind had predicted their prediction.
Looks like you're really going to fall. To be this unlucky, are you sure you're not being targeted by the world?! Even the wind is against you.
Sword Art Online World
"What's with Misaka's strange verbal tic?" Kirito watched Touma and Misaka's conversation and felt something was off. It was as if Misaka was putting herself in a third-person perspective.
Moreover, rather than calling it a verbal tic, it's more accurate to say that he expresses his inability to articulate his expressions and thoughts through writing.
“However… it’s quite easy to understand this way. It’s just a little strange.” Asuna was also a bit confused. She was a clone, and she spoke like a robot, but her tone at the end sounded like that of a living person.
This made her a little confused about the Misaka Sisters' role. Was she a living, breathing individual? Or were the emotions she expressed simulated through the internet?
Academy City World
"What a misfortune..." Touma Kamijou felt like he couldn't even bear to look at himself anymore. His bad luck had probably gone beyond the realm of popular culture, and he might even be able to debut as an idol.
Although she's a clone, she's actually quite kind-hearted. And after I repeatedly refused her help, Misaka's slightly impatient tone was exactly what a real person should do.
Although I know that Misaka Mikoto pulled the Misaka Sisters aside to talk earlier because she didn't want me to get involved, I will stop this inhumane experiment no matter what.
"He still couldn't escape..." Although she had a premonition, Misaka Mikoto still didn't want Kamijou Touma to get involved. She probably thought the same thing in the video, after all, he was the strongest LV5.
But no matter how she tries to avoid it, it seems like Touma Kamijou always inexplicably connects with the Misaka Sisters.
[The following afternoon, Touma Kamijou encountered the Misaka Sisters again, this time where they were taking care of a stray cat.]
"Do you know what happens to animals sent to shelters?" Misaka asked.
Faced with the Misaka Sisters' barrage of questions, Touma Kamijou broke out in a cold sweat and helplessly picked up the kitten and walked down the street with the Misaka Sisters.
"Since you found him, at least give him a name."
"Dog!" Misaka's expressionless face suddenly turned slightly mischievous. "This black cat is called Dog... Misaka named it that."
"It's clearly a cat, but it's called a dog. Heh..." Misaka Mikoto couldn't help but chuckle.
"Let's choose a more dignified name," Touma Kamijou tried to persuade, a forced smile on his face.
[Misaka's expression returned to its usual blank, seemingly still fond of the dog's name: "Then let's call him Tokugawa Ieyasu... Misaka's idea for this change."]
"My goodness! She's a genius! I'd like to become your student! Wouldn't that satisfy those who want both a cat and a dog?"
This is simply a naming genius! The literary world is sorely lacking Misaka Mikoto! Look at her wise eyes and that enigmatic smile, she's definitely a master... what a load of rubbish!!
Who would name a cat "dog"?! I never expected that you, Misaka Sister, with your delicate features, would actually be such a cunning schemer... Tokugawa Ieyasu was also innocently dragged into this mess.
Gintama World
“Anosa, they really don’t know how to name things, don’t you think? Lifespan without end (omitting a minute of reading the name)…” Xiao Jiu said to the monkey on her shoulder, clearly thinking that her name was more creative.
"Ouch!!" Meanwhile, inside the Yorozuya, Shinpachi suddenly sneezed, remembering when they helped Kyubei search for the monkey—such a long name, yet all they remembered was his underwear…
"Why call a cat a dog?! Now both the cat and dog parties have been offended!!" Shinpachi immediately resumed his吐槽 (tu cao, a form of online commentary/criticism).
"Hey, hey, hey, Shinpachi, didn't you see that he changed his name to Tokugawa Ieyasu?! Such a majestic name, what else are you dissatisfied with?" Gintoki's eyes at this moment seemed to be saying, "Why are you so picky?"

"That's exactly what I meant!" Kagura picked her nose, then hugged Sadaharu who was standing next to her. "Right?! Sadaharu, Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Shigeshige, Haru!!"
"You're going to have to compete like this? The names are way too long!" Shinpachi's face darkened. And is there something weird mixed in here?! That's... Shogun Kayo!!
After tossing the cat to the Misaka Sisters, Touma Kamijou planned to buy some related books at the bookstore.
[At that moment, Misaka Mikoto froze, and Accelerator appeared on a street behind them, signaling the start of the experiment.]
In the alley, a gunshot rang out, and Misaka Mikoto lay on the ground, covered in wounds. "Reflexes?"
"Unfortunately, although the answer is very close, reflection is not the essence of my ability." Accelerator, perhaps because he was in a good mood today, even offered an explanation.
"The answer is vector conversion... kinetic energy, thermal energy, electrical energy—as long as they touch my skin, all energy can be converted!!"
"I just set the default value to reflection." With that, Accelerator poked Misaka's wound with his finger, causing her to cry out in pain.
...
...
"I'm touching the flow of blood right now... What would happen to the human body if the flow of blood were reversed?!"
[Misaka Mikoto arrived outside an experimental facility, her smile crumbling. She then infiltrated the entire laboratory, shouting, "Destroy everything! Destroy all the existing facilities, and all the facilities that will take over!!"]
A torrent of lightning enveloped the entire experimental facility. All she wanted now was to force the plan to end immediately: "Equipment, funds, desires, ambitions. I will destroy them all without a trace."
[Then, through the surveillance video, we saw Accelerator conducting an experiment with the Misaka Sisters, the very scene from just now. He placed his hand on the screen, his voice filled with pleading, "Stop...stop...!!"]
However, the video did not stop as she wished; instead, blood stained the entire screen.
[On the other side, when Touma Kamijou walked out of the bookstore, he looked around but didn't see the Misaka Sisters. He only saw the cat that had stayed behind.]
Then, as if sensing something, she looked towards the alley across the street, and slowly walked over, still holding the cat.
[Upon venturing deeper into the alley, he witnessed a scene that caused Touma's pupils to tremble uncontrollably: a lost shoe, bloodstains everywhere, shattered night vision goggles, and signs of a battle nearby.]
"It made me want to punch someone myself! After a few lively moments, the video suddenly became depressing again. That damn Accelerator!!!"
"I can't take it anymore... My blood pressure is skyrocketing just looking at this. Is this even human? It's utterly inhuman."
The people in other worlds watched with gritted teeth but were helpless, because even if they went into battle themselves, they probably wouldn't be a match for Accelerator.
He can reflect almost everything, making it impossible to launch a sneak attack. He has even set up basic reflective properties on his skin, so that anything touched can be reflected back without him having to activate his abilities.
Misaka Mikoto once again experienced her powerlessness; even if she single-handedly sabotaged the experimental facility, she couldn't stop the plan from proceeding.
Having witnessed the death of the Misaka Sisters once again, he was completely devastated. The grief of wanting to save someone right before his eyes, yet being unable to, was almost suffocating this middle school student. What a loss.
Chapter 339 Kamijou breaks into the girls' dormitory at night! A level 6 dormitory supervisor.
[Touma Kamijou called the police in deep sorrow, but by the time he arrived at the scene, all traces had vanished, and even the nearby surveillance cameras hadn't captured anything suspicious, as if nothing had happened.]
"What on earth is going on? Damn it!" Touma Kamijou ignored the police officers as they left, standing there dumbfounded.
"Misaka?!" With a meow, Touma Kamijou discovered that the supposedly dead Misaka Sisters had appeared behind him. "You're Misaka Sisters... right?! Damn it! What's going on?"
Touma Kamijou even thought he had misread the image before, and felt somewhat relieved. "Sorry, I thought you were dead until just now. But thank goodness, it seems you are safe and sound."
[Misaka Sisters remained expressionless, as if stating a perfectly ordinary fact, "Misaka is indeed dead...Misaka made this report."]
[This statement also drew Touma's attention to the black bag she was holding. He straightened up, his voice becoming somewhat deep: "What... exactly are you holding?"]
“The password must be confirmed, just in case.” Misaka then proceeded… The Misaka Sisters didn’t answer directly, but after uttering a string of unintelligible letters, they calmly looked at Touma and said, “If you can’t crack the password, you’re not a member of the ‘118383’ experiment.”
Although Touma Kamijou couldn't understand the code, he had a vague idea of what it was, and he became excited, his voice trembling: "What are you talking about?! What's in that sleeping bag?!"
