Hiromi Kato opened her eyes.
Conflicted, embarrassed, and annoyed emotions welled up inside her.
She wasn't drunk at all.
She was only pretending.
Originally, she just wanted to give Rei Ao a small warning, to make her stance clear so that he wouldn't go too far.
Yet look at how things turned out now.
Her scolding had zero effect.
Rei Ao was acting all improperright in her family's home!
Well, maybe it wasn't truly "improper."
After all, Megumi was openly his girlfriend.
But stillbut still
Hiromi Kato was beyond frustrated.
Megumi showed no sign of restraint at all.
She even invited a wolf right into the house of her own free will.
And now look:
They dumped her good sister onto the living room sofa,
Left the bedroom door open, and started messing around.
What was she supposed to do?!
"Damn it"
Hiromi Kato fumed, gritting her teeth.
Her own bedroom was right across from Megumi's, both doors wide open.
She could hear that they'd already started.
She didn't dare go back to her room now.
She was worried she'd end up in an even more awkward standoff with them, or walk right in on some embarrassing scene.
At least they believed she was passed out.
Hiromi Kato resolved to keep up the drunken act on the sofa and just make do for the night.
She'd wait until the two of them finished and went to sleep, and then go back to her own room.
That plan was bold enough in theory.
Reality, however, was far less forgiving.
Little did she imagine that, thanks to that decision, she wouldn't get a wink of sleep until the wee hours of the morning!

Chapter 312: Watering...
Have you ever seen xxx at four in the morning?
Kato Hiromi has.
She originally thought she'd be able to sleep after just an hour at most.
But she never expected this epic battle to last until four in the morning.
What a beast!
That was the most fitting word Kato Hiromi, who was sporting dark circles under her eyes, could think of to describe Rei Ao.
Most importantly, that "beast" is inhuman!
She couldn't possibly imagine Rei Ao as a normal human being.
She distinctly remembered that last time, it never went on for so long.
Why is it different now?
Well, that's only natural.
In the very beginning, he would've at least shown some mercy and consideration.
But this is no longer the beginning. Megumi is far more passionate than her outwardly blank expression would suggest.
While Kato Hiromi was scratching her head, grumbling
Tap, tap.
Rei Ao, wearing slippers, walked out of the room into the living room.
"!!!"
Kato Hiromi immediately pretended to be fast asleep.
Tap, tap!
The sound was getting closer and closer.
She was sure Rei Ao was walking right toward her.
Instantly, her heart pounded with anxiety.
When the slippers came to a stop beside her,
She could clearly sense a hot presence next to the sofa.
"!!!"
Before she could think too much, she felt a pair of arms scoop her up, one under her armpits and the other under her knees.
What's he doing?
Kato Hiromi was extremely nervous.
For a split second, she almost opened her eyes, but at the last moment she managed to keep them shut.
She could feel Rei Ao's body heat passing into her.
Thump, thump, thump!
Her rapidly beating heart left her terrified he'd notice she was awake.
Before long, Rei Ao started moving.
Kato Hiromi sensed she was being carried somewhere, but she didn't know where.
Her thoughts began to race.
Rei Ao soon arrived in her room.
He placed her on the bed, fairly gently at that.
Of course Kato Hiromi could feel the softness of the mattress.
Waita bed?!
All at once, Kato Hiromi recalled the "torment" Rei Ao had inflicted on Megumi earlier, which she had overheard.
He's not about to do something awful to me, is he?
Surely he wouldn't be that cruel But then again, he's already done some outrageous things with his "harem" in the chat group!
What should I do now? Should I wake up right away and stop him?
She knew she ought to, but she didn't.
She wasn't even sure whyshe just deliberately let herself get tangled up in doubts.
Until
Rei Ao made a move.
"Mm!!!"
Kato Hiromi let out a soft gasp.
A blanketwas laid over her.
Yes.
Rei Ao had simply tucked her in under a blanket.
Then
"?"
Kato Hiromi felt a cool sensation on her face.
She heard the slippers retreating with a "tap, tap," and then, after a moment, the sound of a door closing.
That was it; he did nothing else.
Kato Hiromi opened her eyes suspiciously.
"He justleft?"
She stared at the closed door, not sure if she was more in disbelief or disappointment.
After a while, she noticed something trickling down the corner of her mouth.
She wiped it with her fingers. It was some watery substance.
She rubbed it between her thumb and index finger; it felt a bit sticky.
Then she gave it a sniff.
"!!!"
She froze instantly.
The smell It was reminiscent of a certain flower's scent.
Given its unique texture, she realized right away what it had to be.
"Ugh, ugh, ugh!!!"
She retched in horror several times, then quickly wiped it off with tissues.
That was way too crazy.
How did that stuff even get on the corner of her mouth?
Rei Ao was the only answer.
Kato Hiromi wanted to die from embarrassment.
Yet her brain was strangely active, thoughts running wild.
Wait Could there be some of Megumi's mixed in?
She leapt to that possibility.
After all, that kind ofexchange can go both ways.
Kato Hiromi's face reddened.
She quieted down, then grabbed the blanket Rei Ao had covered her with and buried her face in it.
Her eyes were glistening in the darkness.
A powerful sense of guilt welled up in her heart.
She had actually felt something for someone like Rei Ao, something she absolutely shouldn't feel.
That's completely out of the question!
Meanwhile
Rei Ao returned to another bedroom.
He wrapped his arms around Kato Megumi, who was resting there.
"I was starting to think you weren't coming back, Rei Ao-kun."
Kato Megumi suddenly rolled over and gazed at him with bright, crystalline eyes.
Rei Ao pinched her cute nose.
"Heh. If I wasn't coming back, where else would I go?"
"My sister's room," Kato Megumi replied plainly.
"Hmm, Megumi, you've been trying to set me up with your sister all day, haven't you?"
Since she was being direct, Rei Ao saw no point in beating around the bush. He wanted to confirm Kato Megumi's stance.
""
After some silence,
Kato Megumi slipped her arms around Rei Ao's neck and spoke in a low, subtly emotional voice. "Even if I didn't, Rei Ao-kun would go after her eventually, right?"
She saw things very clearly.
"Anyone in the main chat group or the sub-chats can't escape your grasp."
"Sigh"
Rei Ao sighed, pinching the soft skin behind her. "Megumi, you really do see right through me."
"Mm."
Kato Megumi let out a little whimper. "No It's just that Rei Ao-kun never hides any of these things."
"I just planted a seed for my sister. I don't know if it'll ever bloom, though."
All she could say was: let fate take its course.
"Heh, then it looks like I'll have to water it myself."
Rei Ao obviously understood what Kato Megumi meant.
"Megumi, you're too good to me. Since you're going all the way, could you lend me a little more water so I can help that seed of Hiromi's take root?"
"Eh?"
Kato Megumi sensed Rei Ao closing in on her again and let out a soft cry.
Well, if you're going to water a seed, you have to get some water first
Academy City.
Tokiwadai Middle School dormitory.
Late at night.
Mikoto Misaka, unable to sleep, lay in bed for a long time, mulling things over before finally getting up.
She tiptoed softly to her computer so as not to wake or alert her roommate, Kuroko Shirai.
She booted up the computer.
Zzzt!
A tiny spark of electricity from her fingertip threaded into the machine.
Using her Electromaster power, she hacked into the network.
Peeling back layer after layer of encryption
Before long, Mikoto Misaka found what she was looking for:
The "Railgun Mass Production Plan" and the "Absolute Power Evolution."
Those were the very two project names Rei Ao had mentioned.
Taking a deep breath, she opened the files and started reading through them.
The more she read, the more her expression filled with anger and sorrow.
Everything was exactly as Rei Ao had said:
Her genetic material had been used to create clones, and now those clones were going to be killed.

Chapter 313: Angered... (Bonus Chapter)
Boom!!!
A thunderous roar erupted over Academy City.
A night sky without a single cloud.
Misaka Mikoto's silent anger.
"Waaaaaah!!!"
That thunderbolt startled another girl sleeping in the same dorm room, causing her to let out a scream.
"Th-Thunder?"
Wearing pajamas, Shirai Kuroko still looked alarmed.
She soon noticed the glow of a computer screen in the dark dorm.
Rubbing her sleepy eyes, she asked, "Onee-sama?"
"Mm, it's me," came Misaka Mikoto's reply.
Shirai Kuroko crawled down from her bed, crying, and pounced on Misaka Mikoto.
"Ugh Onee-sama, I'm so scared!"
She genuinely seemed frightened by the thunder.
Misaka Mikoto tapped her finger, making the computer screen go dark.
Seeing how startled Kuroko was, she couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt.
After all, her own anger had caused her power to surge out of control, summoning that lightning.
But how could she not be angry?
Even though she'd already learned the truth from Rei Ao, seeing it with her own eyes left no room to stay calm.
She even felt an urge, just for a moment, to charge off and settle the score with Research Institute 09 right away.
Fortunately, before she lost her head completely, she remembered Rei Ao's warning and forced herself to suppress that reckless impulse.
As she settled her emotions, she noticed something amiss.
Two small hands were roaming freely over her back.
"Onee-sama's embrace hehehehe~"
Leaning against her, Kuroko let out a laugh that sounded incredibly perverse.
""
Misaka Mikoto's eyebrow twitched; a vein pulsed on her forehead.
Kuroko was always harboring less-than-innocent thoughts.
Zztzzt!
Sparks flashed in the darkness.
"Let! Go! Of! Me!"
She stressed each word.
But Shirai Kuroko's perverseness was not so easily quelled.
"Heheheh, not letting go unless Onee-sama gives me a kis"
Crack!!!
Before she could finish, the dorm was lit by a flash of electricity.
"Gyaaaaaah!"
Lightning shot out in all directions. Kuroko screamed like a startled rodent, her hair turning into a frizzy afro and her face going black. Smoke rose from her mouth as she collapsed stiffly to the floor.
A passerby might have believed she'd been electrocuted to death.
"Sigh"
Staring at Kuroko on the ground, Misaka Mikoto rubbed her forehead and let out a long sigh.
As a member of Judgment, Shirai Kuroko was normally quite serious, responsible, and proper. But when it came to Misaka Mikoto, she was unbelievably perverted!
Just like what had happened just now.
That was something Misaka Mikoto could never get used to, yet she had grown adept at dealing with it.
She knew exactly how much voltage to use so that Kuroko would "calm down." There was no risk of actually killing her.
"Ugh Onee-sama's electrifying love it's wonderful!"
A few seconds later, Kuroko crawled back up, her afro still askew, a grin plastered on her face.
In her mind, merely hugging Onee-sama was already a victory!
"Kuroko!"
Misaka Mikoto's gaze sharpened.
"!!!"
Sensing that any more of her usual behavior would lead to disaster, Kuroko hastily controlled herself and changed the topic: "Onee-sama, why are you up so late on the computer instead of sleeping? Staying up and missing sleep is bad for your skin, you know."
""
Misaka Mikoto pressed her lips together.
She didn't want to tell Kuroko what she had been investigating. It was tied to Academy City's upper echelonsand involved the Number One Level Five, Accelerator. If Kuroko got entangled in that, she'd be in danger.
So, she turned her computer screen toward Kuroko, lighting it up again. But it no longer displayed the information on the two plans she had uncovered. Instead, it showed a shopping list:
"Computer accessories to 'toy with Onee-sama' (planned for disposal) x10!!!"
"Ugh!"
Kuroko's entire body shivered. This was bad news!
She looked up, trembling.
Misaka Mikoto's eyes were grim as she pointed at the monitor.
"Kuroko, could you tell me exactly what these 'computer accessories' you purchased to 'toy with Onee-sama' might be?"
"!!!"
Cold sweat poured down Kuroko's forehead.
She had bought them so that once Onee-sama drank them, she might become morehonest, in a certain senseessentially an 'aphrodisiac.' Of course, she couldn't admit that.
"Uh that it's um"
She stammered, not knowing how to reply, until she noticed sparks flicker at Misaka Mikoto's fingertips. What she normally regarded as her sacred "faith" now struck terror in her heart.
"O-Onee-sama, it's tea leaves!"
She blurted out a lie in panic.
"Heh."
Misaka Mikoto sneered.
"You really think I'd believe that?"
"Kuroko, prepare to be punished!"
"No, Onee-sama, please, let me explain!! Aaaaah!!!"
No explanation would be heard.
The so-called "faith" of those lightning sparks rampaged over Kuroko once again.
Amid her shrieks, Kuroko "blissfully" lost consciousness.
""
The dorm fell quiet once more.
This didn't warrant raising the voltage too high. Misaka Mikoto had knocked Kuroko out only so she wouldn't pry into what she'd been doing in the middle of the night.
"Sorry, Kuroko. There are some things you just can't find out."
Misaka Mikoto sounded a little apologetic.
She cleared all traces of her 157 search records, then gently carried Kuroko back to bed and tucked her in. Walking to the window, she gazed out at the deep night sky. A glimmer of hope shone in her sad eyes.
