The Legend of Level 0 in Academy City

I feel regret and guilt, and I can't help but ask myself, was this escape the right or wrong thing to do...?

Even if they escape, can they still joke and play around with Mikoto Mimoto like before?

But what other choice do we have?

Going there would only be suicide...

Just as I was thinking this, I could hear Inoue Hideka snoring coming from the room.

While asleep, Inoue Hideka felt a violent shaking and tried to open her eyes, but her eyelids felt unusually heavy.

"Yinghua, Yinghua!"

Then they heard Saten Ruiko's voice, which was trembling with sobs.

"Yinghua! Wake up! Don't scare me!"

Inoue Hideka felt as if water droplets had landed on his face, and then a scene seemed to appear before his eyes: Saten Ruiko clutching his body and crying her heart out.

After struggling repeatedly, Inoue Eika finally slowly opened her eyes and saw Saten Ruiko's once vibrant face now covered in tears, looking at her with concern.

He raised his hand to wipe away Saten Ruiko's tears, but his usually light arm felt unusually heavy. He tried several times, but could only lift it slightly before it would fall to the ground due to exhaustion.

With a helpless sigh, Inoue Eika looked at Saten Ruiko and said, "Rai..."

His voice was low and hoarse, and he only managed to utter one syllable before forcibly swallowing the rest of the sound back down his throat.

"Eika, what's wrong with you? Didn't you say you were going out? How could this happen?" Saten Ruiko asked Inoue Eika while tears streamed down her face.

Inoue Hideka opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

Saten Ruiko had been confused by her concern, but now she finally realized what was happening.

"Wait a minute, I'll go get you some water!"

Glug!

With Saten Ruiko's help, Inoue Hideka took a sip of water to moisten her throat and was finally able to speak.

His first words did not address the question Saten Ruiko had just asked, but instead he asked Saten Ruiko a question.

"Tears, what's the date today?"

Saten Ruiko was stunned by what she heard, not understanding what Inoue Eika meant.

However, she then replied, "Today is the 13th. I came here to see if you were back yet, but..."

As Saten Ruiko spoke, the tears she had just stopped were about to flow again.

"Tears, tell me, what is the purpose of life?"

Saten Ruiko knelt on the ground, gently lifting Inoue Eika's head and placing it on her knees. Her eyes were filled with sadness, but she smiled as she looked at Inoue Eika.

"Yinghua's questions are so profound. I'm just a 13-year-old girl and don't understand these things. Although I don't know what Yinghua is going through, I can sense that she doesn't intend to tell me. But..."

As Saten Ruiko spoke, her sorrowful eyes were filled with determination. "Just like Eika told me, isn't it enough to live this life simply by having a clear conscience?"

As Inoue Hideka looked at Saten Ruiko's face reflected in his eyes, the scene before him suddenly became blurry, and in the blur, he felt that Saten Ruiko's face was radiating a dazzling light.

The holy light stung her eyes slightly. Inoue Hideka closed her eyes, as if speaking to Saten Ruiko, or perhaps murmuring to herself:

"Have I a clear conscience...?"

Inoue Hideka chuckled self-deprecatingly as Saten Ruiko used her own words to lecture her.

Then he opened his eyes and looked resolutely at Saten Ruiko, saying, "I understand! Thank you, Ruiko!"

Chapter Seventy-Six: Misaka Clone No. 9982!

Life... is very long... extremely long...

On this long road

A person who can truly live with a clear conscience...

Perhaps not.

Although I understand this...

However, Inoue Hideka did not want his life, which he had lived without regrets, to end so prematurely.

The story ends here with the sister's episode.

Even if it costs me my life, even if in the end nothing will change.

But even if only one Misaka Mikoto can be saved...

No, even if it only allows one of the Misaka sisters to live for one more second, Inoue Hideka would do everything in her power to try and save her!

Although he was just a complete otaku in his previous life, he transmigrated to this world full of crises in his early twenties, the best years of his life.

Before I've even had a chance to experience the beauty and despair of life, perhaps I'll be in this prime of youth, ready to unleash the final brilliance of my life.

However, he was not a coward!

He was afraid of death, but he didn't want to be a coward.

He didn't want to spend the rest of his life unable to hold his head high in front of Misaka Mikoto!

Inoue Hideka always knew that he was not a hero, nor did he want to be one!

Heroes are all tragic figures.

However, some things cannot be glossed over simply by saying that you don't want to be a hero.

Human nature is so complex.

Inoue Hideka couldn't bear to watch Misaka Sisters die alone without doing anything.

If Inoue Hideka hadn't taken sleeping pills to fall asleep these past two days, she felt she would have been awakened by the images of severed limbs and dismembered bodies dressed in Tokiwadai school uniforms that appeared in her dreams.

If this continues to be ignored, these images will surely become a nightmare that Inoue Hideka will never be able to shake off for the rest of his life.

Since you can't ignore it, then risk everything and try to change things!

Inoue Hideka clenched her fist, which had practically no strength left, and made up her mind.

"Tears, could you please make me something to eat? I'm so hungry!"

Inoue Hideka struggled to sit up, but having not eaten for two or three days, he was on the verge of death and had no strength left.

Finally, with Saten Ruiko's help, she leaned against the edge of the low table.

After doing all this, Saten Ruiko didn't ask any more questions, including how Inoue Eika's forehead was injured or how Inoue Eika's bed board broke.

She simply walked silently into the kitchen and started making porridge for Inoue Hideka.

Although she was very scared, afraid that Inoue Eika would leave her.

I was also very worried that Inoue Hideka might encounter some danger.

But at the same time, she believed in Inoue Hideka and that her boyfriend would solve the current difficulties as smoothly as when he woke her up.

After putting the porridge in the pot to cook, Saten Ruiko took a towel and wet it.

He walked up to Inoue Hideka and helped her clean her face, which was slightly dusty and hadn't been properly cleaned for several days.

Inoue Eika sat on the ground without moving, letting Saten Ruiko carefully do all of this for her.

Just like caring for her paralyzed husband, Inoue Eika felt deeply moved by the care she received from Saten Ruiko.

With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for!

--------

After drinking two bowls of millet porridge, Inoue Hideka finally regained some energy.

She then asked Saten Ruiko to make breakfast for her the next day, and Inoue Eika forced herself to start repairing the broken bed frame.

After Saten Ruiko finished cooking, it was already close to evening. Because Inoue Eika was still a little weak and it was inconvenient for her to see Saten Ruiko off, Inoue Eika told Saten Ruiko to go home early.

Lying on the repaired bed, Inoue Hideka began to think about a plan to rescue her sister.

Judging from the original work, besides magic and Touma Kamijou's right hand, it seems that only Kihara Shinken can effectively attack Accelerator.

However, it is obviously too late to practice Kihara Shinken now, and there is a major prerequisite for performing Kihara Shinken.

That is, having a sufficient understanding of Accelerator's abilities. Inoue Hidekazu does not believe that he can understand Accelerator's abilities as well as Kihara Kazuta, who developed Accelerator's abilities.

Magic, obviously, won't work either.

Putting aside the fact that Inoue Hideka's body had developed superpowers, even if she managed to use them, magic is not something that can be learned so easily.

Besides, Inoue Hideka didn't know where to study.

Looking for Index?

She definitely won't agree.

Knowing it would harm her body, this kind nun would certainly not teach Inoue Hideka the method she used.

Asking Touma Kamijou for help is also unrealistic; the Misawa Juku incident only happened a few days ago, and he should be hospitalized because of his severed arm.

Although I had seen many methods for dealing with Accelerator online in my previous life, to be honest, they were all unfounded.

Whether it can actually work on one-way traffic is something no one has tested, and nobody knows.

Just like trying to suffocate Accelerator by removing the oxygen from its surroundings, Hidekazu Inoue believes that this approach is not feasible.

A normal person can hold their breath for at least 30 seconds. Does Accelerator really expect to wait until the oxygen in his lungs runs out during those 30 seconds?

Inoue Hideka kept thinking about it until late at night, and even when he drifted off to sleep, he still hadn't figured it out.

In the early morning, without the influence of medication, the body's biological clock functions on time.

After Inoue Eika finished eating the breakfast prepared by Saten Ruiko, her body finally returned to normal.

Instead of going for a long run as usual, he went straight out to the basement, filled up the gas tank on his motorcycle, and then wandered around the streets and alleys of Academy City, especially some sparsely populated areas.

However, after wandering around all morning, they still couldn't find any place where Misaka Mikoto and Accelerator were fighting.

After having lunch outside, Inoue Hideka continued to wander around.

He hadn't figured out how to deal with Accelerator, so he could only take it one step at a time and find the person first.

In the afternoon, there was still no clue.

Inoue Hideka doesn't have the ability to create clones. Academy City is so large that perhaps while he was searching in the 10th District, the experiment was being conducted indoors in the 20th District.
