He adjusted his tone and said in a way that suggested he was lost in memories, "I once fought with King Arthur at the dinner table over a chicken leg, but I lost to her."

I once sat down with Artemis to discuss how to prevent men from cheating, but she scoffed at my opinions.

I once asked Ramesses II for advice on how to care for a Sphinx, but he took it back after giving it to me, saying I had no idea how to keep a pet and even kicked me out of the palace.

I once argued with Qin Shi Huang whether the Elixir of Immortality should be sweet or salty. Even though the salty one was clearly better, and he had already established his capital in Xianyang, he insisted that the sweet one was superior.

"Oh! This is so hard for me..." Yuxian sighed.

Aleister silently hung up the phone.

Chapter 32, Section 205: Kuroko Will Silently Support Her Sister

The funding issue has been resolved by Aleister, and he has also taken on the responsibility of settling the Misaka Sister.

After this phone call, Yuxian finally gained something; his hard work hadn't been in vain.

He hoped that such a thing would not happen again in the future, and that talking to Aleister was putting a lot of pressure on him.

Yuxian wasn't really afraid of Aleister; he was just under someone else's roof and had no choice but to submit.

This is, after all, someone else's territory. It's not in Yuxian's nature to be too overbearing. Yuxian is someone who takes things as they come.

Of course, this would happen if Aleister really crossed his line.

Yuxian didn't mind showing him what it meant for a spear to strike and for gods to fall.

I was initially quite happy to run into Da Vinci and the Valkyrie sisters today, Yuxian Aleister's interruption suddenly made me lose interest in continuing my shopping trip.

He led everyone back home, and today he decided to stay home for the day and give himself a break.

Meanwhile, Misaka Mikoto arrived at the office of the 177th branch of the Disciplinary Committee with Last Order.

She needed to find a place to stay for her Last Order, and this task could only fall to her close friends.

As soon as she entered, Shirai Kuroko jumped into her arms, complaining incessantly, "Big sister didn't come home last night, have you already forgotten about Kuroko?"

Misaka Mikoto skillfully sent her flying with an electric shock.

At that moment, Last Order peeked out from behind her, curiously observing Shirai Kuroko and the others.

"Is this where the Disciplinary Committee works?" Misaka Misaka asked shyly, peeking out.

It was only then that the people in the office noticed Last Order behind Misaka Mikoto. They looked at her in surprise, then at Misaka Mikoto.

The two women looked so alike that it was impossible not to make connections between them.

Shirai Kuroko was the first to react. Her whole body turned ashen, as if petrified, and she murmured, "One night ago, my sister even had a child... Kuroko... Kuroko..."

"That's enough!" Misaka Mikoto's forehead veins bulged. Shirai Kuroko's interruption rendered her prepared remarks completely useless.

She had no choice but to introduce her, saying, "This is my sister."

"Younger sister!"

As Misaka Mikoto's friends, they had never heard that Misaka Mikoto had a younger sister.

"So it's my sister!" Shirai Kuroko breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and her spirits lifted.

She quickly pulled Last Order over and said in a very gentle tone, "Hello, I am Shirai Kuroko, and I am Onee-sama's closest friend."

"No, Onee-sama is mine. Misaka Misaka loudly declares her ownership."

Last Order cast a wary glance at Shirai Kuroko, instinctively regarding her as a rival.

"Ah!—Kuroko has encountered an unprecedentedly formidable opponent; this is war!"

Shirai Kuroko and Last Order exchanged glances, as if lightning flashed between them.

Misaka Mikoto slapped Shirai Kuroko and Last Order on the head with both hands to stop them from continuing their antics.

It was only then that Uiharu Kazari asked, "Did Misaka-san's sister just arrive in Academy City?"

"This is what I want to discuss with you," Misaka Mikoto said, explaining her predicament. "We can't take her into the Tokiwadai dorms, so I need to find her a place to stay. Can you help me think of a solution?"

"Uiharu Kazari's dorm should be available. I'll call her now."

Uiharu Kazari immediately took action; she cared deeply about her friend's situation and acted swiftly.

"Where is Misaka-san's sister? Where is she?"

Upon receiving the news, Saten Ruiko rushed over immediately. As soon as she entered, she inquired about the Last Order.

Wow! So cute!

When Saten Ruiko saw Last Order, her eyes lit up. She knelt down to greet Last Order in a very friendly manner.

"I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you Uiharu Kazari," Misaka Mikoto said somewhat apologetically.

Saten Ruiko shook her head. "It's nothing. Anyway, I still have space there. Misaka-san's little sister is so cute, I'm happy to be able to live with her."

Saten Ruiko's affability was indeed extraordinary; she quickly won over Last Order, gaining Last Order trust and getting her to agree to live in Saten Ruiko's house.

Next, they helped Last Order buy some daily necessities and took her to Saten Ruiko's house.

"Is this where I'll be living from now on? Misaka Misaka is very satisfied with her new home."

Upon hearing this, Saten Ruiko happily replied, "I'm glad you're satisfied. I'll need your continued support from now on."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Uiharu Kazari. Please let me know as soon as anything happens," Misaka Mikoto said, expressing her gratitude.

She finally felt relieved. Although she had readily agreed to let the Last Order live with her, she was actually not mentally prepared at all.

The thought of having 20,000 more sisters gave her an unusually painful headache.

After saying goodbye and leaving Saten Ruiko's house, Misaka Sister lowered her head in silence, pondering what to do next.

Shirai Kuroko suddenly said, "Isn't that Onee-sama's younger sister?"

"Hmm?" Misaka Mikoto looked up at Shirai Kuroko upon hearing this, and seeing her serious expression, she didn't know how to explain for a moment.

Shirai Kuroko knew that Misaka Mikoto didn't have a younger sister, and she knew everything about Misaka Mikoto. How could such a lie possibly fool her?

Shirai Kuroko said understandingly, "This is onee-sama's secret, and Kuroko won't ask. But if there's anything onee-sama needs Kuroko's help with, please don't hesitate to ask."

"Thank you, Kuroko." Misaka Mikoto's expression softened. "She's my sister."

She added in her mind: They are all my sisters.

Shirai Kuroko didn't dwell on the issue; she believed that one day Misaka Mikoto would reveal the truth to her.

She would silently support her older sister from behind.

The two walked back to their dormitory side by side.

Meanwhile, Aleister's funds were immediately transferred to the Da Vinci Institute's account the moment the call ended.

With this funding, the remaining Misaka Sister proceeded in an orderly fashion to undergo physical adjustments.

Da Vinci and Butsutobi Shinobu started working with their feet barely touching the ground.

These tasks are easy for them and pose no difficulty whatsoever, but they probably won't have time to rest for a while.

While busy working, Da Vinci muttered to himself, "I didn't expect my Master to be so capable! It seems I should ask him for more things in the future; I still have so many ideas that I haven't had a chance to test yet."

Achoo!

Yuxian, who was lying on the sofa, sneezed. He rubbed his nose and wondered if he had caught a cold.

Chapter 33, Section 206: Shirai Kuroko and Misaka Sister

Misaka Mikoto rested for a day to adjust her mood. Too many things had piled up during this period, making her feel mentally overwhelmed.

After resting, she rallied and faced reality again.

Today she's going to buy gifts for the Misaka Sister.

She still vividly remembered how many Misaka Sister had asked her for gifts yesterday, and as their older sister, she couldn't ignore it.

Although the number was quite large, she gritted her teeth and decided to buy each of them a gift.

What should I buy?

This is a problem; anything too expensive is definitely out of the question, she can't afford it.

You can only pick out small items.

Misaka Mikoto searched the entire shopping district for a suitable gift.

Finally, she found a cute hair clip that was reasonably priced and small in size.

Even such an inexpensive hair clip almost emptied her wallet.

Having many younger sisters is really tough...

Carrying two large bags of hair clips, Misaka Mikoto arrived at Da Vinci's research institute.

Most of the Misaka Sister are still undergoing physical adjustments here, and this is the most appropriate place to distribute the gifts as a gift for their rebirth.

"A gift from my big sister! Misaka is so happy, she's overjoyed."

"I want the red one," Misaka told her sister.

"Hearing that her older sister was distributing gifts, Misaka rushed over, hoping she didn't miss it."

It took a long time for Misaka Mikoto to finally distribute all the gifts.

The Misaka Sister put on the hair clips they received, and finally, differences began to appear between them.

Different colored hair clips subtly distinguished them.

Even though the difference is small, it is still progress, and one day they will become different individuals.

Seeing her sisters' excitement, Misaka Mikoto felt a great sense of accomplishment, and the worry of having her wallet emptied disappeared.

At this moment, Da Vinci walked over and said, "They will soon be sent to all parts of the world. You should come and spend more time with them when you have free time."

"Sent all over the world?" Misaka Mikoto was startled. She quickly asked, "Why?"

"There are many reasons, and this is also good for them. Academy City is still too small. Twenty thousand Misaka Sister are crammed here, which is not conducive to their growth."

Da Vinci's words made Misaka Mikoto understand that this matter was inevitable.

If we want these Misaka Sister to live in the sunlight, separating them is necessary.

Da Vinci comforted him, "But you don't need to worry too much. They are connected by the Misaka Network, Last Order is by your side, so you can keep track of their situation at any time."

Misaka Mikoto asked, "Isn't there any other way?"

Although she could learn about all her sisters' situations through Last Order, it was ultimately no different from making a phone call.

If you can't see me, you can't see me.

This news left Misaka Mikoto somewhat frustrated, and she knew that now was not the time for her to act impulsively.

I can only make the most of the time I have left to spend with them.

In the following days, Misaka Mikoto went to Da Vinci's research institute whenever she had free time, making Shirai Kuroko think that something had happened to her again.

After hesitating for a long time, Shirai Kuroko finally made up her mind to secretly follow the suspicious Misaka Mikoto and see what her older sister was up to.

She followed them to the outside of Da Vinci's research institute, peeking around suspiciously.

Just then, Yuxian and the children slowly walked towards the research institute.

Seeing Shirai Kuroko's expression, Yuxian immediately guessed what she was thinking.

"Hey!"

He walked up to Shirai Kuroko and patted her on the shoulder from behind.

"Wow!"
