"Are you here just to watch the show?"

Rei Ao's words shattered the tense atmosphere.

Mikoto Misaka, mortified, buried her face completely in Rei Ao's chest.

Finally snapping out of her shock, Shirai Kuroko let out a scream that echoed throughout the entire facility.

"Ah! Don't you dare bully Onee-sama!"

She instantly activated her ability and appeared right in front of Rei Ao. But before she could even touch him, an invisible force repelled her.

Rei Ao gave a languid wave of his hand.

"Kuroko-chan, don't interrupt us."

He didn't harm Kuroko—merely pinned her in place with some unseen power, leaving her sprawled on the ground, unable to move a finger.

"Don't mind her," Rei Ao whispered into Mikoto's ear, his warm breath making her tremble all over.

"We need to continue."

"Eh? N-Now?"

Mikoto's voice grew quieter by the second.

"B-but…"

She couldn't even finish the sentence, nerves getting the better of her.

Rei Ao knew what she was worried about. With a mischievous look, he glanced at the people standing in the doorway.

"Oh, so the rest of you have come here to watch? I don't mind; you can come in."

"S-sorry for disturbing!"

Kanzaki Kaori, feeling extremely awkward, quickly covered Index's eyes and retreated. She had a strong hunch that nothing good would come of staying here any longer.

"…"

Shokuhou Misaki stared at Rei Ao with a complicated expression before also turning to leave.

That left only Awaki Musujime. She scratched the back of her head.

"Rei Ao-sama, earlier you said the 'bigger' part would come later—did you mean now?"

Without even looking her way, Rei Ao cast a quick glance, still focusing most of his attention on settling Mikoto.

"Wanna join?"

He asked casually.

By now, Mikoto's entire body was turning red from embarrassment.

Awaki licked her lips and actually removed her jacket.

"Why not?" she said impishly. "Looks pretty interesting, and I am your 'Cleaner,' after all~"

As Awaki headed toward where Rei Ao and Mikoto were on the sofa, the immobilized Kuroko—pinned to the floor—shouted in disbelief:

"W-what nonsense are you spouting?! This is all so wrong!!!"

Awaki only spared Kuroko a glance of pity as she passed by, cat-walking toward the entangled pair. Gently, she placed a hand on Rei Ao's muscular back, feeling the rhythmic movement of his muscles.

"Rei Ao-sama's physique is truly amazing,"

she murmured in admiration. Then she leaned down to whisper something in Rei Ao's ear, drawing a low chuckle from him.

"Heh, where did you learn that?"

Awaki gave a sly laugh.

"I just looked it up online a minute ago. If I'm to be your Cleaner, I figured I should learn some techniques."

"Alright then, let's give it a try."

"Heh—together with Mikoto here~"

"Ha?!"

…

What happened next completely shattered Kuroko's remaining sanity. She watched with her own eyes.

"Onee-sama!!!"

Kuroko cried out, tears blurring her vision. Finally, Rei Ao turned to look at her, his iridescent eyes gleaming with a chilling light.

"Keep quiet, Kuroko. Your dear Onee-sama doesn't want to be disturbed."

As if on cue, bluish-white sparks crackled from Mikoto's body, her electricity erupting uncontrollably.

"Zzzt!"

Lightning arced upward, leaving scorching marks across the ceiling.

"Whoa, so this is Railgun? She's super sensitive, plus releasing electricity on top of it—how cool."

Awaki marveled.

Rei Ao patted Mikoto, sounding a bit exasperated.

"Get a grip. It's lucky it's me—anyone else would've been fried."

Mikoto, brimming with shame, nodded.

"S-sorry…"

"…"

Kuroko had never seen her Onee-sama so submissive.

"See?"

Rei Ao glanced at Kuroko.

"Your dear Onee-sama is more honest than you think."

Kuroko felt the world spinning around her. She struggled, but couldn't even activate her teleport. This man's power was completely beyond her comprehension, like an insurmountable mountain crushing all resistance.

Rei Ao ignored Kuroko after that and refocused on his "game." Both Level 5s acted so docile in front of him—no one else in the Academy would believe it.

"No…"

Kuroko whimpered, powerless. All that noise sounded like funeral bells in her ears. Something inside her seemed to break. Her beloved Onee-sama, the pure idol in her heart…

…

Kuroko's world collapsed.

Of course, Mikoto couldn't completely disregard Kuroko's presence. She just tried to pretend otherwise.

"Onee-sama…"

Kuroko grew dizzy, yet she couldn't tear her gaze away. Something unfamiliar was building up inside her.

Right then, Rei Ao suddenly turned toward Kuroko. A mischievous gleam flashed in his iridescent eyes.

He addressed Mikoto on purpose:

"Your little Kouhai seems to be falling apart. Maybe we should let her—"

"No way!"

Mikoto still had the strength to protest. But her body tensed up even further at that suggestion.
