Chapter 11: Saving Truth Bear Child

  "Damn it! These scoundrels!" Jie Lü Chu was startled by the sudden explosion and waved his hand to disperse the smoke and dust from the blast; he was shocked to find that the little bear child had been frightened by the huge noise of the explosion and was crying as he ran in the opposite direction of the tourist bus.

  "Hmph, a bear kid like him is indeed nothing but trouble. And at a time like this..."

  Kaito Hatsuyuki thought to himself, but his body moved in a direction completely opposite of his thoughts as he ran towards that bear child. Although the original storyline had the bank robbers subdued by the Four Heavenly Kings without causing any harm to the people around them, who knows what would happen with Kaito Hatsuyuki's addition? Kaito Hatsuyuki would never risk someone else's life for a probability!

  "Too bad, it's too late!"

  In the midst of the chaos, I saw that bear-like kid running towards the direction where the thugs were. One of the robbers who was fighting with Shirai Kuroko's eyes lit up, and he clearly had discovered the kid running towards him. That robber quickly abandoned his partner and ran towards the kid alone, seemingly wanting to capture the kid as a hostage.

  Fortunately, before the hijacker grabbed the bear child, Soten no Ko (Sasuke) rushed out bravely and tightly hugged the bear child, ready to withstand the hijacker's furious attack with his body. The hijacker, seeing that the target he was about to hijack was suddenly being protected by someone, became enraged and was about to kick Sasuke.

  As Kaiji Choyo saw the little bear being shielded by Soten Kizuku, he felt a slight relief in his heart; after estimating that the hijacker had entered his effective attack range, Kaiji Choyo drew out an aluminum card from the waist bag on his right hand, locked onto the target's wrist, and with a flick of his wrist, sent the card flying towards the hijacker's right foot. Just as the card was about to hit its mark, he activated 'Quantum Gear Shift' on the edge of the card.

  Unlike the method of accelerating heavy particles to expand outward for explosion, it is used to accelerate and vibrate heavy particles within a certain range, creating a sharp cutting effect like a high-vibration particle sword; similar to Misaka Mikoto's black sword technique using iron sand to create high-frequency vibrations.

  Since being forced into a duel by Mikoto Misaka the day before, Toma Kamijou had been working on solving his problem of having limited attack methods and too many conditions for using his abilities. He spent the whole night at a construction site 'borrowing' aluminum materials to create these sharp-edged aluminum cards, which he carried with him, not expecting them to come in handy just the next day.

  Time flies, in the blink of an eye, the card emitted a high-speed vibration with a unique 'hum' sound as it hit the robber's thigh. Then, like a knife cutting through soft tofu, the card passed through the robber's thigh without any obstruction and deeply pierced into the hard cement ground. The intense pain made the robber let out a dull hum and fell to his knees powerlessly.

  Although successfully getting rid of the villain, Jia Lu Yu was a bit embarrassed about the outcome. Just now, he had clearly aimed at his opponent's calf and flicked out the card; well, as long as it ended happily, the process didn't matter, only that next time he needed to reposition his effective attack distance again...

  "Ah, thank you......" Soten no Ko's face still showed some shock and stuttered as she thanked Kaito.

  Satenru Koito's slightly nasal voice pulled Kiyotaka Ayanokouji back to reality; he waved his hand, about to say it was fine, when on the other side, Mikoto Misaka used an electromagnetic cannon to take out a would-be carjacker trying to escape. Turning around, she discovered Satenru Koito standing next to Kiyotaka Ayanokouji: this high school student with dead fish eyes that even if he were taken to a crematorium and burned to ashes, she could still recognize him anywhere.

  "Those lifeless dead fish eyes..." Mikoto Misaka rubbed her eyes in disbelief and checked again; she didn't think she'd run into the guy who dared to draw on her face just the next day; "It's you, you bastard! Stop right there, don't run away if you're a man!"

  "If you're a woman, stop right there and don't chase me!"

  Before the people present could react, these two had already run far away in a chase; White井 Kuroko, who couldn't leave to fulfill her duties as a wind discipline committee member, could only helplessly see off Misaka Mikoto as she departed, lamenting in her heart that today's planned schedule with her sister was completely ruined by reality.

  However... Shirai Kuroko looked at the back of the person being chased away by Misaka Mikoto, and somehow felt that she had seen this person's appearance somewhere before.

  "Hmph, Kuroko doesn't care who you are, whether he's seen you before or not, as long as you dare to take away my sister, I'll kill you even if you're a god! " Behind Shirai Kuroko's back, his hair was standing on end like an octopus, matching the dark background and the eerie laughter; it scared that bear child who had just been calmed down by Soteneko into crying again.

  Kazari Touma learned from the lesson she was easily tracked down by Mikoto Misaka yesterday; constantly using men's toilets in alleys as cover, trying to shake off the troublesome Mikoto Misaka behind her.

  Unfortunately, he underestimated the extent of Mikoto Misaka's resentment towards him. If it had been yesterday, this method might have had a chance to shake off Mikoto Misaka. Even in today's chase, when Toma Kamijou first hid in the men's restroom, Mikoto Misaka really didn't dare to force her way in, and stood outside the men's restroom shouting and yelling "Despicable".

  If Touma hadn't been so reckless and provoked Mikoto Misaka by shaking his hips in front of the men's restroom, this chase might have ended with a whimper. But there's no use crying over spilt milk...

  After Touya Aoi's provocative behavior broke through the bottom line and rushed into the men's restroom for the first time; in the subsequent chase, no matter how many times Touya Aoi hid in the men's restroom, Mikoto Misaka, whose idea of breaking through the bottom line had collapsed, would follow him in.

  The sky gradually darkened, and the national middle school girls chasing after Kaiji Kaito let out a burst of laughter that made him feel like he couldn't stop running even if his lungs were about to jump out of his chest cavity to breathe in air.

  "Hmm... if... I were to kneel down and admit my mistake now... hmm... would you be able to forgive me? Hmm... is the sincere apology from me?"

  "Maybe..." The words that came out of Mikoto Misaka's mouth made Toma Akiyama's heart skip a beat, and just as he was about to stop in his tracks and apologize properly, the next words she spoke sent him running even faster.

  "After I pull your intestines out of your belly, strangle you with them for a few turns and give it a good tug, I will definitely forgive you!"

  "That's it then... We're doomed..."
