Chapter 757: Sisters Resurrected, Dolly and Misaki Shokuhou! Discipline of Item's Mugino Shizuri!
"She is the last Misaka Sister, and can also be called Last Order."
Ren reached out and rubbed Last Order's small head, amidst her innocent, curious big eyes.
"Waaah, Misaka Misaka feels Big Brother's hand is so warm. It's like basking in the sun on a winter day, says Misaka as she expresses her delight!"
This emotion was instantly shared with tens of thousands of Misaka Sisters through the Misaka Network.
The electromagnetic waves of Academy City buzzed with a secret, synchronized conversation.
"Who is he? Misaka 10032 asks, analyzing the unknown heat source."
"Misaka 9982 said he is the one who stopped the experiment and released the Misakas. He is the irregularity that saved us," another voice echoed in the static.
"Is he a hero? Like in the manga Onee-sama reads? Misaka guesses with anticipation."
"A hero," Misaka 19090 agreed firmly.
"Misaka also wants to experience Big Brother's head pat. The data suggests it induces high levels of dopamine," Misaka 13577 yearned.
"Agreed! Requesting queuing system for head pats!"
...
Misaka Mikoto's face turned darker and darker as she stood there, forced to listen to these messages echoing in her mind.
The most crucial, mortifying part was that Last Order even uploaded this feeling.
It made her feel as if she herself had been patted on the head—the warmth of his palm, the gentle pressure, the sense of safety.
It truly was... comfortable.
But she felt utterly ashamed! It was like having her private diary broadcasted to the entire city.
She immediately stepped forward and pulled Last Order behind her, shielding the smaller girl like a protective hen.
She warned, her voice cracking slightly, "Don't, don't touch the Misaka Sisters so casually!"
"Eh?"
Last Order blinked her confused big eyes, looking up at her original. "But Misaka Misaka feels that Onee-sama clearly wants to experience it too. Your heart rate spiked by twenty percent just now!"
"Don't talk nonsense! Who wants that?!"
Misaka Mikoto clapped her hand over Last Order's mouth, physically silencing the traitorous clone.
She was completely out of line!
Misaki Shokuhou, however, stepped forward. She adjusted her lace gloves, her star-shaped eyes serious as she asked, "Ren-kun, how do you plan to deal with them?"
"Heh, Misaka Mikoto, how do you want me to deal with them?"
Ren instead asked Misaka Mikoto, his gaze piercing through her embarrassment.
"After all, they are all Misaka Sisters created from your genes. Their fate is tied to yours."
"I…"
Misaka Mikoto looked at all the Misaka Sisters standing in the container yard. Thousands of identical faces, all looking at her with a mixture of curiosity and blankness. Her heart clenched with a complex mix of guilt and responsibility.
She pursed her lips and said, "Ren, can you save them? If it's you... you must have that ability, right? Their lifespans are short, and they need maintenance..."
"Of course, fixing their flaws and rewriting their genetic code is easy for me."
Ren smiled, a predator looking at a flock of sheep.
"However, if I make a move, they will all belong to me. They will become my property, my family. Do you have any objections?"
The smiling eyes made goosebumps rise all over Misaka Mikoto's body. It wasn't fear, but a strange thrill she couldn't identify.
"What… what are you planning to do to them? You wouldn't..."
Last Order's ahoge twitched, breaking free from Mikoto's grip.
"Does Big Brother like Big Sister? Misaka Misaka is very curious about the romantic tension!"
"I quite like her."
Ren replied without hesitation, his voice smooth and honest.
"Eh?"
Hearing this, Misaka Mikoto was completely stiff in place, and her face visibly turned red. Smoke practically erupted from her ears.
"Eh?!!!"
She let out a shameful sound, like a kettle boiling over.
She was dizzy, like a steam engine overheating.
Why was she confessed to out of nowhere?! In front of everyone?!
Misaki Shokuhou rolled her eyes at her rival. This muscle-brained woman was completely manipulated by a single sentence.
However, Misaki had her own priorities. She took a deep breath, suppressing her own tumultuous emotions.
After hesitating, she nervously made a request to Ren, her voice losing its usual haughty control.
"Ren-kun, I heard you have the power to revive others… Can you…"
Ren naturally understood her thoughts. He looked into her starry eyes.
"You want to revive Dolly?"
"Yes…"
Misaki Shokuhou gritted her teeth, her hands clenching over her heart. "I'll do anything! Anything you want!"
"Pfft."
Ren laughed, shaking his head. "To be honest, even if you didn't say it, I would revive the dead Misaka Sisters, including Dolly. It's a waste to let them remain as data. But since you said so, I won't be polite about collecting my reward later."
With a thought, he moved.
He didn't chant. He didn't draw a circle. He simply imposed his will upon reality.
[Authority: Time Reversal - Localized Bio-Reconstruction.]
Golden particles of light began to coalesce in the empty space.
Figures reappeared one after another.
These were the Misaka Sisters who had been killed in the experiments. 10031. 9982. Their bodies reformed, knitting together from the memory of the world, flawless and whole.
And all the physical problems of the Misaka Sisters—the accelerated aging, the organ failure—were changed by his thought to be no different from ordinary people.
Misaki Shokuhou was still stunned by Ren's words and the miracle unfolding before her.
But soon, the figures condensing before her eyes made her unable to look away.
Among the sea of brown-haired sisters, one figure stood out.
It was a long-haired girl, clearly very different from the other Misaka Sisters. She wore a simple hospital gown, her expression confused as she looked at her hands.
Misaki Shokuhou would never forget her appearance.
That was Dolly!
Her eyes trembled violently. Tears welled up, blurring her vision.
"Do-Dolly…"
She was so nervous that her heart pounded and she couldn't breathe, calling out with the fear that it might be a cruel illusion.
"..."
Hearing Misaki Shokuhou's voice, the girl froze.
Dolly's eyelashes trembled slightly as she opened her eyes.
Through the blur of resurrection sickness, she saw Misaki Shokuhou's figure standing a few meters away.
Because she couldn't see before she died—her prototype body failing—she had never seen Misaki Shokuhou's true appearance with clear vision.
But she could still feel the caring gaze. The scent of her best friend.
Subconsciously, she opened her mouth and said, her voice raspy but sweet, "Shokuhou?"
"!!!"
Hearing her voice, the dam broke.
Misaki Shokuhou finally couldn't hold back and pounced on her, hugging her tightly.
"Dolly! This is great! You're back!"
The reunion of old friends was suddenly touching, drawing snifles from even the stoic Misaka Sisters.
But Ren still had to make arrangements for the Misaka Sisters. They couldn't just stay in the port.
He chose the location of the Windowless Building—the former fortress of Aleister Crowley.
"You all come with me."
He waved his hand, enveloping the thousands of girls in a spatial displacement field. He took everyone away.
As for Accelerator and Teitoku Kakine, who were still unconscious or hypnotized in the rubble, let them fend for themselves.
Ren was not interested in them.
…
Under Ren's transformation, the Windowless Building underwent a drastic change.
It was no longer a tomb for a human in a jar. It became a real, luxurious residential building towering over District 7.
A real building that no one could enter without Ren's permission.
This building was expanded spatially on the inside, more than enough to house twenty thousand Misaka Sisters comfortably.
He arranged all the Sisters inside, giving them rooms, facilities, and lives.
And each Misaka Sister was given a system upgrade—at least Level 6 self-preservation strength (in terms of durability), as well as the power to conceal their own existence from the city's sensors.
This way, each of them could do whatever they wanted in Academy City without fear of being hunted.
Misaka Mikoto was currently telling the Misaka Sisters some rules in the main hall.
Misaki Shokuhou and Dolly were sharing a lot about their lives in a private room; they had endless things to talk about after their reunion.
As for Ren.
He was on the top floor of the building, in the General Superintendent's office, which had been converted into a luxurious penthouse.
Mugino Shizuri lay on the floor-to-ceiling glass window, her face pressed against the cool surface, looking down at the sprawling lights of Academy City below. She had a worker's expression—exhausted, defeated, yet strangely satisfied.
She was overlooking the entire Academy City with Ren from the top of this building, which Ren had created and which existed in everyone's minds without any abnormality. Ren stood behind her, his presence overwhelming.
With a smile, he asked, "Mugino, you don't have to do dark side work anymore, aren't you happy? No more killing, just serving."
"..."
Mugino Shizuri trembled, unable to speak. Her throat was hoarse.
Afraid of heights?
Perhaps. Or perhaps she was afraid of the depths she had fallen to.
She had never thought that she would go from being an Item doing dark work to an Item used by someone else in such a literal sense.
After her dignity was shattered again and again.
She was actually a little addicted to it. The surrender of control was... intoxicating.
But she still maintained her last bit of stubbornness, biting her lip to keep from making a sound.
On the massive leather sofa behind her, three girls pretending to sleep had flushed faces.
Kinuhata Saiai, Frenda Seivelun, and Takitsubo Rikou.
They had just finished their "training," and it was Mugino's turn last.
Kinuhata Saiai blinked one eye open and whispered, "Mugino can still hold on… So, so amazing. It's been an hour."
Frenda covered her smooth belly, her small face full of bitterness and bliss: "Ugh, my stomach hurts. I feel like I'm full."
Takitsubo Rikou and Kinuhata Saiai exchanged glances, both blushing furiously.
After all, for them, it was truly a one-step process from enemies to... this.
"Do you think Mugino will lose?" Kinuhata asked.
Frenda and Takitsubo Rikou couldn't answer Kinuhata Saiai's question.
According to physiology, Ren should have a limit. Even a monster has to rest.
With the three of them taking the hit first, Mugino still had a chance to win by outlasting him.
But something strange happened.
Mugino Shizuri suddenly screamed in horror, her fingers clawing at the glass, "Wrong, that's not right! No, absolutely… Ugh!!!"
The three girls on the sofa looked at each other, terror and awe in their eyes.
Not only did their flowers tighten in sympathy.
They had only one thought: Mugino was going to lose this time.
