Chapter Twelve: The Faceless God? Nyarlathotep?

Although she could not hear exactly what Roy had whispered,

Shokuhou Misaki more or less guessed that Roy probably knew this doll-like, exquisite girl.

She could not help asking, "...Mr. Roy, do you know her?"

There was an imperceptible nervousness in Shokuhou Misaki's voice.

"I've seen her a few times before."

Roy nodded in reply. After hesitating for a moment, he pointed at his own head and added, "...It's just that there's something wrong with this child's head."

"Something wrong with her head?"

Shokuhou Misaki was utterly astonished. She looked at Levianna, standing in the pouring rain, with pity in her eyes.

Her first thought had been, Could this child be mentally disabled? Look at her—she's just standing stupidly in the pouring rain without moving.

"Yes. She likes calling people 'Daddy' for no apparent reason."

Roy spoke seriously.

Shokuhou Misaki froze for a moment, while Lilith rolled her eyes.

However, after hearing that it was a mental issue, Shokuhou Misaki instead relaxed.

After all, she was Academy City's Fifth One, the "Mental Out," and solving this kind of illness was her specialty.

Academy City's technology had originally been developed through reverse engineering. First, students' supernatural abilities were developed, and then scientific principles were deduced from their effects.

The development of "Mental Out" had allowed Academy City to make considerable progress in treating mental illnesses.

Back then, Misaka Mikoto had been young and deceived. She had contributed her DNA, yet the sick children had not been cured.

But Shokuhou Misaki had experienced more than Misaka Mikoto and was much more mature. She had not been so easily deceived.

Her ability had indeed been applied to the medical field.

But if one were talking about the greatest psychiatrist, that would be Shokuhou Misaki herself.

"Mr. Roy, should we let her come in?"
