"Um... Mr. Fang Zheng, what did you mean by another world?"
Although she had gotten an answer, Misaka Mikoto still felt uneasy. She was not really a child anymore, and she knew about euthanasia. In fact, from a practical standpoint, euthanasia really was the simplest last resort. But... Mr. Fang Zheng would not do something like that, would he?
But he had also said he would send her sisters to another world...
