I Stand at the Forefront of Popularity Supremacy

"Judgment Committee?"

"Yeah."

"Go on, go on. I'll head back slowly by myself."

"Mm..."

Saten Ruiko smiled as she watched Chunibyo Shirai leave, then sighed.

[Old Saten, left alone in the nest]

[Feel bad for Ruiko for one second]

[I'm a little worried about Railgun and the Queen. They're not really going to fall for it, are they?]

[Definitely not]

[Normally, no. I'm just afraid she'll suddenly get nerfed into an idiot like Accelerator in the original story]

[+1, that's the most painful kind of nerf]

[To be fair, the original Accelerator would've been impossible to handle without a nerf]

[There are people stronger than Accelerator in this world, so it's fine]

[The Accelerator here doesn't seem as strong as the original one]

[Their abilities should be the same, but the Accelerator in this world is a girl. She probably lacks a fighting spirit]

"Level 0... an esper with no abilities... sigh."

Saten Ruiko sighed.

Though she had never said it aloud, Saten Ruiko was still somewhat ashamed of being a Level 0.

"Whoa, traffic jam?"

Saten turned around to head back, only to discover that there had been a car accident on the road. Even the crosswalk was blocked off by security robots.

"I have to take a huge detour... Oh, right. I'll go this way."

Since she was alone, she might as well take a shortcut.

Meanwhile, Mikoto, who had just arrived at the laboratory, smiled.

--The bait had worked perfectly.

As for why this world had to be destroyed, don't worry about it.

"Hmm hmm hmm hmm."

Saten Ruiko hummed a little tune as she made her way through the alley.

"Hm?"

But after only a few steps, Saten Ruiko sensed that something was wrong.

"What's this?"

There was a woman's shoe on the ground.
