Chapter 1122 Misaka who is sick

Lin Wuming declined the invitation due to other commitments, so Misaka Misuzu had to go to Accelerator's apartment alone—according to the latest information, Final Signal has been staying there recently.

"Are you sure everything's alright, child?" Misaka Misuzu couldn't help but feel a little worried as they walked down the street. "While Mikoto isn't exactly a careless child, the 'sisters' don't seem very reassuring."

After spending the last few days with them, Misaka Misuzu noticed that the Misaka Sisters were as innocent as blank sheets of paper, which was really worrying to her by the standards of entering society.

This is the result after such a long period of learning and training. If it were when it was first born... Just thinking about this makes Misaka Misuzu extremely worried.

If the ordinary Misaka Sisters are like this, what will happen to the even smaller Final Signal?
Fortunately, Accelerator is a Level 5, and the number one ranked student at that, so there shouldn't be any worries about Signal being with him in the end.

Moreover, it's said that Accelerator stayed with her specifically to protect the Final Signal—if that's true, then we should really thank her.

Thinking of this, Misaka Misuzu stopped and turned to walk into the shopping mall next door, where she bought some snacks as souvenirs.

It has to be said that Misaka Misuzu has a strong ability to adapt. She has only been in Academy City for less than half a month, including the Daihasei Festival, but she already seems to be very familiar with the city.

I know all the shopping places in District 7 like the back of my hand. Today, when I went to visit Accelerator, I didn't even need a map. Once I figured out the address, I knew how to get there.

It wasn't until she arrived at the apartment building that Misaka Misuzu realized it was inappropriate to suddenly visit; she should have greeted them first.

"I wonder if they're even home right now..."

Muttering to herself, Misaka Misuzu walked into the apartment building. "I'm already here, I can't exactly turn back, can I?"

"The number one esper lives a surprisingly simple life." While waiting for the elevator, Misaka Misuzu observed the apartment building.

It's just a regular commercial apartment, slightly more upscale than student apartments, but only marginally better, far from being "luxurious." It's basically the type of apartment an average white-collar worker would choose.

With Level 5 financial resources, even with just the monthly scholarship, they should be able to move into a more luxurious place.

However, everyone has different preferences and perspectives, and Misaka Misuzu didn't mean to interfere with other people's views on life. The reason she's been thinking so much here is mainly because the elevator is taking forever to arrive, as if it's stuck on the fourth floor.

"So, Accelerator's house is also on the fourth floor?" Misaka Misuzu glanced at the elevator, then looked at the staircase on the other side not far away, and finally decided to climb the stairs.

"4004, 4004..." Following the corridor, Misaka Misuzu quickly found apartment 4004 where Accelerator lived.

Just as she was about to knock on the door, she found it was ajar and not locked; the moment she put her hand on it, the door opened very smoothly.

"Huh? Is anyone home?" Misaka Misuzu poked her head in. "Excuse me~ Is anyone home?"

There was no response; the room was completely silent.

"Accelerator? Misaka-chan? Is anyone home?" Misaka Misuzu pushed the door open completely and stepped into the entryway.

There was still no movement.

Misaka Misuzu didn't venture any further inside. Feeling somewhat uneasy, she stepped out of the door and looked around. Then, she noticed some unusual noises coming from the elevator area.

Upon approaching, Misaka Misuzu saw a little girl lying in the elevator; it seemed she had fallen in from the outside, so her legs were stuck at the elevator entrance, preventing the elevator doors from closing.

"No wonder the elevator was taking forever to come downstairs." Misaka Misuzu immediately went over and picked up the girl. "Huh? It's Misaka!"

The girl who collapsed in the elevator had a face that Misaka Misuzu recognized most—it looked like her daughter, Misaka Mikoto, only younger, appearing to be only in fourth or fifth grade.

Upon seeing her, Misaka Misuzu immediately understood that this girl was the final signal she was destined to meet today!
—But why did she faint? Her forehead is burning hot, is she sick? Where's Accelerator? Why isn't he here at a time like this?

Without thinking too much, Misaka Misuzu quickly picked up the girl and carried her into the elevator, wanting to get her to the hospital for treatment first!
“You…” The girl in his arms noticed the change in her surroundings and murmured, “Who are you? Misaka…” Misaka asked.

“I’m your mom.” Moved by this younger version of Misaka, Misaka Misuzu said gently and patiently, “Don’t worry, Mom will take you to the hospital right away, you’ll get better soon.”

“Misaka… is not sick,” Misaka Misaka argued.

“Okay, okay,” Misaka Misuzu said patiently. “Whether you’re sick or not, you should go to the hospital if you feel unwell.”

Ultimately, the signal did not refute further, but simply nodded slightly.

She wasn't lying; she wasn't sick, but rather had a much more troublesome problem.

The final signal knew that doctors couldn't help him—unless it was that frog doctor.

Compared to ordinary doctors, Accelerator, a Level 5 esper, might have a better solution.

Ultimately, Signal left the apartment to find Accelerator—a self-rescue action she took after realizing her body was not functioning properly.

However, her physical condition deteriorated faster than the final warning indicated, ultimately causing her to collapse at the elevator entrance...

However, this is also Accelerator's fault. He had to go out today and was supposed to be back before 10 o'clock, but he was late.

It wasn't until after the agreed time that the final signal, who had grown impatient, voluntarily left the apartment...

"Mom!" The elevator reached the first floor, and the moment the doors opened, a Misaka Sister wearing military-grade night vision goggles stood outside. "Misaka 00005 greets you!"

"Huh? Oh!" For a moment, Misaka Misuzu tried to recall if she had seen this Misaka Sister before, but she immediately gave up. "There's no time to say anything more, quickly call an ambulance or a taxi for me!"

"Don't worry, Mom, I drove here," Misaka 00005 assured, patting her chest. "Leave the journey to me!"

"That's good!" Without even caring whether the Misaka Sisters had a driver's license, Misaka Misuzu hurriedly ran out of the apartment building with the Final Signal in her arms. Only after getting into the car did she remember to ask, "Do you need me to drive? I don't think any of you have driver's licenses yet, right?"

"No need, please rest assured, all of our mass-produced Misaka have learned piloting skills."
