mikoto,kuroko,last order and shokuhou were in the corridor of the school

"so where are we going ? »ask kuroko

« to class »respond shokuhou

« wait what ? you're actually bringing last order to the class ?! »ask kuroko

« you realise we can normally bring last order to  the class ? »said shokuhou

« i'm not following anymore »said mikoto

« kuroko-san can normally go to her class,misaka-san and mikasa-san will go to her class,the only  thing that change is that i can be with them without no one noticing me ,and i will use my mental out on the people in the classroom to make sure they don't realise last order is here,it's seems simple »said shokuhou

[that girl is like a mastermind]though kuroko and mikoto

« thank you,i take that as a compliment ! »said shokuhou

« wait ,did you just read my mind ?! »ask kuroko

shokuhou ignore the question

« well, let's go »said shokuhou looking at last order and mikoto

kuroko just give up and decided to go to her class, leaving mikoto with last order and shokuhou

then the three entered the class

"shokuhou misaki what are you doing here ... »ask the teacher while the other student were surprised to see the two level 5 but shokuhou use her remote on them and manipulate them to not remark last order or her


« well you can go seat »said shokuhou while looking at mikoto and last order

« so your just gonna stay here, watching the class ? »ask mikoto

« of course not,i will going to my class,every time there a change in class i will come to you,go to your class and manipulate everyone on the room and leave for my class and then repeat the process. »said shokuhou

then last order hug shokuhou

«?! « this surprise shokuhou and mikoto

«wh-what are you doing ?! »ask shokuhou

last order look up to shokuhou made a smile

« thank you says misaka misaka as she hugs you »

« i-t's nothing,i own one to accelerator anyway » said shokuhou

« well, i will go now « said a flustered shokuhou

« see you later!says misaka misaka as she sit on a spare chair that she put next to one-san's chair

[she doesn't just all that because of accelerator,it seems even she has a soft side for children]though mikoto as she sit on her chair

shokuhou started to leave

« the moment the door will close,the class will start so be prepared »said shokuhou

then she leave and close the door

the class started.

Last order was genuinely listening to the teacher,she was even doing the exercice(more like trying)

mikoto was surprised by how her little sister was suddenly completely calm and serious into class

Well, some class shokuhou did achieve her plan

except she wasn't going to her class

[what kind of power could affect accelerator during the level 6 shift?]

that question was stuck in her mind,she called one of  her contact of the dark of city

« i want you to find everything you can on the project radio noise and the level 6 shift project »ordered shokuhou

« roger that » said her contact

 she waited till the end of the class of mikoto to do the change with her power

after the class changes

she receives a message from accelerator

/i've got info about the mercenaries,when can we talk ?/

she responds to his message

[now,i can't stay with last order and misaka all day]

[i need to find a way to....]

shokuhou started too smirk as she find a plan

[cancel all the class, this afternoon ]

she goes to the infirmary where she {ask}to the nurse some laxative

she then to the coffee machine where all teachers take they coffee from

she put then mix the coffee  with the laxative

[last order want to stay with misaka-san,but it's not necessary for her to go class]

[then let's just aboard all the classes]though shokuhou

after that shokuhou repeat her action with EVERY coffee machine that belong to the teachers ,then she return to the class of mikoto

and at the lunch time,

« i'm leaving »said shokuhou

« wait where are you going and what about the class with last order ? »ask mikoto [what are you doing?!]

« don't worry ,they won't be any class this afternoon »said shokuhou with a smirk leaving a confused mikoto and last order

after leaving the school while avoiding her clique

she received a call from her contact

« what did you found ? »ask shokuhou[that was fast]

« not a lot that you don't already know but,there one thing that catch my attention »said the contact (it's a man BTW)

« what is it ? »ask shokuhou

« you know that the tree diagram was the reason the projected took place in the beginning right ? »said the contact

« yes, i know that what's new ? »ask shokuhou

« well,from what i see, one of the report says and i quote

""happily the tree diagram is restraining accelerator from stopping the experiment""          »said the contact

« but that doesn't make any sense the tree diagram was just a big computer!it doesn't have any power it not something that could manipulate accelerator by himself ! »said shokuhou

«accelerator has 50 % of his powers back due to the misaka network doing the calculation form him that' right ? »said the contact

"what do you want to say ? »ask shokuhou

my idea is!what if an esper like you was connected to super computer and given extreme calculation power,could that person control accelerator with his power who are boosted ? »theorise the contact

shokuhou cringed,she was starting to get angry

« keep searching » was all shokuhou said while ending the call

she refuse to think about it at least not now

[well, let's got that family restaurant again]

when she arrives accelerator was already there,he still had that same bored look

« so what did you found »ask shokuhou without even saying hi

« with luck the guy who behind all of that kidnapping shit. »respond accelerator

«Well, first i will go to eat something, i will just buy a sandwich somewhere »said shokuhou

« i need to eat too,i will go with you »said accelerator [i'm still so hungry,i'm not used to this]

they both go towards a store that was also selling sandwich

after they were just sitting in a crowded area(a park) and accelerator use his power to conceal the sound around them

« so tell me,what did you find »ask shokuhou

« all the mercenaries were ex anti-skill member ,they were engaged by a soap company... »started accelerator

« a soap company really? »ask shokuhou [what a stupid cover]

« yes, really,the guy who own the company is named Stevie Thomson an European and i also know where he lives. »said accelerator

« nothing else that could be good to know ? »ask shokuhou [accelerator work fast,I'm actually impressed]

« he has a 12 year son.that's all there is to it »said accelerator

« ... »shokuhou was thinking

« well, let's go where he lives, i admit i really want all of this to be over the fasted way possible »said shokuhou as she get up

« yeah,you're right »said accelerator while getting up

« where does he live ? »ask shokuhou

« around the frontier of the city »respond accelerator

« well... »started shokuhou while taking out her phone

« what are you doing ? »ask a suspicious accelerator

« i'm calling one of my contacts so he bring us there »said shokuhou

«okay i will go there first,to look around to not be surprised by some kind of trap »said accelerator

« with my power, i can go there faster... »said continued the number 1

« no,you coming with me in the car »said shokuhou

that order kinda angered accelerator

« you know,i never said i will follow your orders »said accelerator

« listen,i get that you don't like being bossed around »started shokuhou [that is exatly why i hate working with people that i can't control!]

« but i need you to be with me »said shokuhou

« and why ? »ask accelerator who was annoyed by the tone of the number 5

« because if you go there alone,they could see you without you noticing and flee,if we go there together at the same, i can control any person around to make them ignored us and they won't flee the place and if they for some reason end up killed, i won't get any information from them and... »said shokuhou

but it's almost as if she didn't want to say the last part

« and ? »ask accelerator

« if you go there alone,it means i' will be alone too,if there somehow make their collars to resit my mental out and they ambush me on the way i would surely be taken or killed and ... »said shokuhou [i sound like a Damsel in distress]

shokuhou makes her jojo pose

« you're not going to let a defenless girl like me alone and be capture by horrible men ! »said shokuhou with a flirty tone

« you realise that doing a cute pose won't work on me ? »said accelerator with his usual bored tone [ i live with a ten year old girl]

« i know but at least you admit that it's cute ! »said shokuhou [what am i doing ?! Why am i playing with fire like that ?!,i'm too used to act like that !]

« tch....but at leat you're if i let you alone, you'll probably be in danger,and with your power we could even get our answer without even fighting. »admit the number 1

« see...then let's go the driver should arrive in a few second »said shokuhou

« second?wait who many contact do you have ? »said accelerator

« a lot »was all respond shokuhou as they both saw the driver arrives

and then got in the car

in the car

shokuhou and accelerator were both in the back of the car the car had a window between the conductor seat and the seat in the back,the car is probably an ancient police car

there a really awkward silence

accelerator sigh which shokuhou remark

«....so how last order is doing at tokiwadai ? »ask accelerator

« oh....she's fine,i even help misaka-san hiding her « respond shokuhou

« what do you mean?"ask accelerator really interested in that subject

that sudden interest surprise shokuhou

« well,i had too manipulate the dorm surpervisor.... »shokuhou started to explain everything  she did to help hiding last order but she didn't talk about their conversation about accelerator

« and since they won't be any class this afternoon,she should be okay with the 3rd ranked»finish shokuhou

as she finishes talking, she looked at accelerator,she was very surprise becauset his smile,his kind smile and this time she saw it even more than before

« thank you »was all said accelerator while smiling

shokuhou's heart skips a beat

[that smile!] though shokuhou while blushing a bit,

she though a bit about what she could be talking about to keep the conversation going

« you know,i know about the level 6 shift project... »said shokuhou with a scared face,she knew this was going to anger accelerator

but accelerator just sighs

« ....you're not surprise ? »said shokuhou

« the simple fact that you know the existence of last order was already a hint about your knowledge about it »said accelerator but his voice was softer than usual

« you're probably think I'm a monster and for good reason, but I don't care»said accelerator while he was avoiding the eyes of shokuhou

shokuhou realise she hit a spot by looking at his eye full of regret,and she kinda felt bad about it

«i though that at first, but... »started shokuhou

this attract the attention of accelerator again

« i know of certain thing that you did,good things, for example the whole DA thing,the organization that wanted to destroy the esper.... » said shokuhou as she started to list some good action accelerator did

« i never understand the way you acted,for many people you're a monster,to some rare people you're a hero.. »shokuhou

« but after meeting you and the way last order talk about you... »said shokuhou

« the brat talked about me ? »ask accelerator

« you should have seen her,while the railgun was saying {bad thing} about you,she defended you... »shokuhou has a small smile while thinking a bit about dolly

« she truly cares about you,you know... »said shokuhou

« yeah....i know, »said accelerator while trying to keep his "i don't care"attitude

shokuhou put her knee in front her face as of she wanted to hide

«my experiment was about a sister too ... »admit shokuhou

this surprise accelerator

« you too... »ask accelerator,his tone became more angry[they did other experiment with the clones?!]

« they wanted me to use my powers to make her think that i was her friend that was ejected of the lab »said shokuhou ,the smile she usually have was gone and her eyes seems to lose their light

« our entire friendship was fake from the beginning... »

« what happen ? »ask accelerator [that damn city never stops !]he was angry, not at shokuhou but a the person that useed her for the experiment

« she was just a prototype...she died... »said shokuhou

author's note:the dolly we see at the end of the railgun anime is not actually dolly,it's just another clone with the memories of dolly.(i guess since the clone have same genetics and if that clone have dolly's memories, it's technically her)

« but during that friendship even if it was fake, i truly see her as a friend in the end'said shokuhou

"tell me...."ordered accelerator

"what ?"ask shokuhou

"tell me everything!,you're project and the rest"ordered accelerator

accelerator's body wasn't moving,but his eyes were telling that he was pissed so shokuhou did the smart to do which is telling everything

shokuhou started telling her story to accelerator,all of it including the event of the daihasei

« so in the end, we manage to stop kihara gensei...finish shokuhou

she look at accelerator ,her eyes were empty but accelerator looked angry

he was looking down

[so all of that happen while i was in the hospital...]though accelerator remembering the time last order fell inconsious

« those damn scientist who many people are they willing to hurt for their experiment ! »said accelerator with hatred in his tone

« even the original they tried to turn her into a level 6 even if it was going to destroy the city ! »said accelerator[the original....misaka mikoto,shokuhou,me... those scientist manipulated our lives like we were mere toys!]

shokuhou was kinda surprise by that sudden outburst[it's almost as if i could feel his hatred toward the city....toward the world itself]

a few second passed as accelerator calm himself

« i've got a question.... »said shokuhou

« about what ? »ask accelerator [let me guess.... ]

« about the radio noise project »said shokuhou [it's dangerous to ask but i....i need to know]

these simple words made accelerator shivered

« that's none of  your business»said accelerator

« do you....do you truly wanted....i mean do you really wanted to be part of it...? » still Ask shokuhou while being afraid of the reaction of accelerator

accelerator sigh[in the end.....]

« i did accept to join it but.... »started accelerator [why am i even saying it to her....]

« at some point i just wanted this nighmare to end;but i kept doing it ! I did even knew why i was even doing it as some point ! i was just doing it! »said accelerator with emotion which did affect shokuhou

[he looks ...so lost]though shokuhou

shokuhou took her remote while accelerator wasn't looking she tried for a second to read his mind, but accelerator didn't seem remark to it,in fact she had  head heck just by trying.it was a mistake,she failed

[he didn't react to it?]though shokuhou

then the car stop

« we are at the destination »said the driver

the driver put a little reminder at shokuhou and accelerator about the situation

« yeah...let's go »said shikuhou

« yeah,you right » said accelerator as they both got out of the car

the driver leaves them in the street

« the guy lives in the house at the end of the street »said accelerator to change the subject

« ok, let's go »said shokuhou

they both started walking toward the house

a few minutes later they arrives in front of the house

« i'm knocking »said shokuhou

« wait, we're just going to knock on the door ? »ask accelerator

« well,of course, i'm from tokiwadai you know,manner first »said shokuhou

« yeah ,yeah,i know... »said accelerator with a bored tone[rich girl,huh]

then shokuhou knock on the door but no one comes to respond

"well, we just have to break in... »started shokuhou

« wait...someone is coming »said accelerator

a 12 year old boy opens the door but the second he look at shokuhou,she immedialy took control of him

« is your father here ? »ask shokuhou

« yes,he is upstairs »said the boy

"you just took control over him....just like that"said accelerator

"a problem with the way i handle thing"respond mental out while looking at the number 1

"no"respond accelerator [she's just another psychopath in this city i guess]

« let's go said » accelerator

as they enter

« wait... »said skokuhou

« what ? Enemy ? »ask accelerator

« no »respond mental out

then she turn to the mind controled boy and read his memory

« he doesn't know anything » said shokuhou [let's hope his father does]

« oh then let's  see the father then » said accelerator [i was kinda afraid that this guy was involved,good thing he is not]

they both go  upstair,it's a big house

Stevie Thomson was just drinking some coffee when he sees accelerator and shokuhou

he reconised shokuhou and accelerator,and shokuhou just use her remote again

« the number 1 and the number 5 ?!no please wait !... »said the now mind controled man

« okay, let's started, then»said shokuhou

accelerator was just behind her,he was looking around to see if he could anything

« why are you at academic city ? »ask shokuhou[let's ask a general question]

« i came here too make my own business»said the man

[what ?]though accelerator and shokuhou

« what is link to europe ? »ask accelerator

« i didn't  have any if not that i was born in England until this month when i receive a ton of money from a Europeansociety. »said the man

« why did they ask you to do ? »ask shokuhou

« they ask to engage mercenaries to kidnap esper with similar ability to mental out and send them to europe. »said the man

« tell us everything about those kidnappings ! »said accelerator [this guys....]

[he didn't mind to kidnapped people for money]though mental out and accelerator

« within this month, i need to capture as much esper with powers base on mental control and mind reading.all of those people are currently being held in a warehouse i own,it's also the base camp of my mercenaries.... »said Stevie Thomson with a monotone tone

« where ? »interrup accelerator who was losing patience

« that warehouse is near the harbor of the city »said the man

« do you know why you were engaged to kidnap those people ?" ask shokuhou

« i didn't ask ,but there are people in the warehouse that  work directly under those who engage me »said the man

« you just took the money without asking questions ?! »accelerator was furious and shokuhou too

« they said they would give me a lot of money for each person,so i didn't ask question,i don't want to be more involve than that »said the man

« and what about your son ? »ask accelerator

that question surprise shokuhou

« he doesn't know anything,i was hoping him to be a high level esper when he arrives the city but he is just a level O,a failure wich is why i needed money so maybe i could paid for some extra class so he could maybe obtain some kind of power or maybe i will send to power development t project.... »said the man

the words "power development " make the number 5 and number 1 shivered

[that guy is an asshole ! ]both though the level 5

shokuhou stops the man who talking about his son like everyone talk about a dog you need to train

« when will those people be sent to Europe ? »ask shokuhou

« tomorrow around midnight »said Stevie Thomson

[ tomorrow!]though accelerator

« well, we are going to leave..... »started mental out

wait.....is there any other company that engage those mercenaries ? »ask the number 1

« European company are rare in japan even more in academic city so i doubt it,they wouldn' have called a soap company if not. »said the man

« now,we can leave... »said accelerator

« but just before we leave, i will implement a command in his mind »said shokuhou

shokuhou use her remote it took around a second

« we can leave now »said shokuhou

accelerator seems a bit disappointed

« i wanted to at least break his legs »said accelerator [asshole like that don't deserve any mercy]

« you don't need to,he will pay like everyone who involve in those affairs »said shokuhou

« since i already a few mercenaries surrende,so anti-skill is probably aware of the problem now,and i include a command in his mind , this guy will record his confession and give every info inti-skill need;so he is probably going to jail anyway i will make sure of it »said shokuhou with a a smirk

« plus once we leave his sight, he will forget we were here and his son too... »said shokuhou

« that power of your seems pretty useful »said accelrator [she don't have any detruction potential by herself but if she control the right person she could  turn a country in ashes,that power is truly something to be vigilant of]

« sadly ,it doesn't work on levels 5 because a level 5 brain is too powerful»said shokuhou

« that's a good thing for me »said accelerator[it's true the brain of a level 5 is far from being normal]

they both leave the house

« then now what do we do now ? »ask shokuhou

« we go there and destroy the place seems easy to me »said the number 1

« yes but not now we will do that tomorrow »said shokuhou

« why not now ? »ask accelerator [didn't you say earlier,you wanted to end this the fasted way possible?]

« because they depart will be tomorrow,and so it's that moment they would every mercenaries to defend the place,and we will just call anti-skill we don't need to actually destroy in fact we might even destroy some evidence in the process. »said shokuhou

« so you just want to wait ?! »ask accelerator who was a bit angry [ a lot of things can happen in a day you know that?!]

« don't worry ,we will not go during the night we will go during the day... »started shokuhou who tried to hide  her surprise to accelerator sudden outburst[scary!]

« i get it you want to control everyone there so they just surrender and don't destroy the evidence nor hurt the kidnapped people"said accelerator

« but you need to be there too, so so if there is a problem you can intervene and make sure everything goes to plan »finish shokuhou

accelerator look shokuhou as if he was judging her

« what ? »ask shokuhou [did i do something wrong?]

« you often do that ? »ask accelerator

« do what ? »ask a confused shokuhou

« fight a strange group of people who are clearly villain and making a  sometime complex plan to counter them. »said accelerator

« says the guys who work for GROUP »said shokuhou

« tch !....of course you know that too. »said accelerator[she avoid the question]

the level 5 started to fixed the other in the eyes

« and i don't work for them anymore »said accelerator

« doesn't change the fact that you help a lot of people by working in it »said shokuhou

« yes,but i also kill a lot of people doing it »respond accelerator [don't play mind games with me]

« those people probably deserve it anyway »said shokuhou

"true"was all said accelerator

there was  a silence ,the level 5 stop looking at each other

then accelerator look at the hour

« already!the class will soon end ! »said accelerator

shokuhou look at the hour

« oh my!   look like,i'm going to be late to my meeting with my clique ! »said shokuhou with usual smile as she suddenly swicth to her "rich kid" attitude

author's note: i like how shokuhou is handled in astral buddy because we can actually see what her" serious" side is(we even see her being genuinely pissed) and how she can handle her probleme on her ownd with her clique (even if railgun did explore her character,i think we are still missing somethings about her)

accelerator look at her again

« they gonna be worried ! »said shokuhou

« can't you just say that you will late by phone" said accelerator with a bored look

« yes....,you're right »said shokuhou as she text a message to hokaze and then call the driver

there a silence again during the time the driver arrives

« by the way i'm coming with you,i need to go to tokiwadai too,to pick up last order from the railgun »said accelerator

« oh,okay... »respond shokuhou [great,car talk again]

« plus don't you need protection? Those mercenaries may be waiting for you on the way to tokiwadai. »said accelerator to justify his presence

« true »said shokuhou [well,he is right]

the driver arrive, it's the same from earlier

« the boy is here again?if i didn't knew you i would think you too are using me to go on a date »said the driver

« it's a good thing you know me then »said shokuhou while using her remote to make the driver shut up [a date?]

accelerator just ignores the comment

they were in the car there an awkward silence again,

this time shokuhou is the one to start the conversation

« where were you during those two months ? »ask shokuhou

« you ask a lot of questions don't you ? »ask back accelerator[she is getting annoying]

« because usually, i can just read the mind of someone if i truly want to know something »respond shokuhou

« is my answer really important ? »ask accelerator who annoyed by shokuhou and her starry eye

« not really, but i'm curious where was the number 1 during those two months ? »ask shokuhou with her usual smirk

« just a trip »simply respond accelerator

« during two month ? »doubted the number 5

« yeah,sorry to disappoint t you. »said accelerator

« what kind of trip, take two months ? »ask mental out as she gets closer to him

«you not gonna give up won't you ? »ask accelerator while being by shokuhou

then shokuhou did another {cute}pose

« nooo,i won't! »said shokuhou with her usual tone

[well ,it's not something important,it's not even a secret]though accelerator

« last order and i went to Russia because she was sick »said accelerator

« last order was sick ? »ask shokuhou

« yeah,she was going to die from it,but i manage to save her »said accelerator

« how ? »ask shokuhou [what was even her sickness ?]

« you don't need to know that »respond accelerator with a very serious tone

a response from which seems to annoy shokuhou because she pout

« after Russia,we got in Germany... »started accelerator

«  wait, don't tell that the reason,you were gone was because,you literally made a trip around the world... »interrup shokuhou who genuinely surprise

« yes,Germanythen we travel through Europe...than we got to America... them, we end up back at academic city »said accelerator

shokuhou was really completely froze

« what ? »ask accelerator [well,we overdid it]

« why just why .... »said shokuhou who almost seems tired [i've never left the city and you ....]

« i needed time to think.... »started the number 1

« to think about what?! »ask shokuhou,she still seems tired for some reason[during two months!]

« about everything,about me,last order,the sister,all of this damn city... »said accelerator[and about my wings too]

« so basically you had an existentia crisis »concluded mental out(the accelerator i'm talking too right now,is definitely not the same during the level 6 shift even whitout the mind control thing]

« i hate that you resume it like ....but you're right »said accelerator [a lot more happen than just me but....i will let that part out]

there a silence

« i'm realise you are talking a lot »said shokuhou

« huh??? »ask accelerator

« i mean,you answered to my question while you could have just  ignored them. »said shokuhou

[true before i would have just ignored them]though accelerator

« you told me your entire story about dolly and everything so i guess you talk a lot too,technically you talked more than me »said accelerator

« ....yes,you're right »said shokuhou [it's true....],shokuhou started blushing a bit as she realise her mistakes

[i barely learn anything from him!but he know now way more about me than the third ranked now!]mentally scream shokuhou

«  and to defend myself during two month the only conversation i could have were with the brat and it wasn't going really far »said accelerator

« so i guess it feels good to talk to someone about something  other than gekota or food »said accelerator [WORTS was annoying as hell too]

shokuhou giggle a bit

« what ? »ask accelerator

« it's just that it's just hard to imagine you taking care of a child like last order »said mental out

« she deserves to live a normal life...the clone they suffered too much already... »said accelerator with a sad tone

« yeah... they deserve a normal life... »said shokuhou while thinking about dolly

shokuhou look a bit more at accelerator ,she closer than usual( a bit too close from accelerator perspective)

« whoa,you got long hair ! »said shoukuhou [they look so long!]

« so what ?! »said accelerator [a problem with my hair ?]

« no it just that it's only now that i see it »giggle shokuhou,she was smiling, but not her usual smile;that seems true,

then accelerator just smile at her

she realise she was touching his hair,she instantly back down while blushing

[what am i doing ?! ]though shokuhou

« sor-sorry that was weird ! »said shokuhou

« so that's what you look like when you smile »said accelerator [i don't know why, but since i got those wings people seems to be at ease around me,unless they are actually against me,it's weird]

author's note:it's not just an effect from the wings

« i'm alway smiling,it's only now you see it ?! »said shokuhou

«  of course, it's the first time,you smile is a real one »said accelerator

shokuhou was blushing of frustration

« i'm.....i'm not faking my emotion,you know »said shokuhou

accelerator loses his smile

« don't lie like that,you can't control me »said accelerrator

« it's probably part of your character to act like that »said accelerator

« you 're gonna tell me it's normal for someone like you,with a story like yours to naturally constantly smile to someone she barely know nor trust and even fear sometimes ? »said the number 1 as if he was scolding her

« i...i... »shokuhou was lost,she was losing control af the situation

accelerator get closer,he staring in her eyes

shokuhou was afraid of what he was going to do he looked angry

but accelerator just put his hand on her shoulder,he suddenly seems calm

he took a deep breath,he is so close that shokuhou could feel it

« the word good doesn't really suit you seeing how you don't hesitate to manipulate everyone around you but i'm pretty damn sure you're far from being a bad person »said accelerator

shokuhou was trying to avoid his eyes but she couldn't

« earlier in the car,you tried to read my mind me didn't you. »said accelerator while still having his gentle tone

« .....yes »respond mental out with a guilty tone [it's true since he was busy talking about himself i though i could use that moment of weakness to at least read his mind]

« well turn out my reflection can reflect it »said accelerator [i'm not suppose to be able to do that with my vector control,it's seems my wings give some new abilities without even having them active]

 then shokuhou realise what he meant

« w-wait you mean... »started shokuhou [don't tell me?!]

« that when you trie to read my mind,the opposite happen,i was the one reading yours »said accelerator

the was silence

they were still staring in each other eyes

the voice of accelerator seems to echo in shokuhou's mind

shokuhou was staring  at him

while accelerator was staring at her

« sorry to interruptd you two love bird but we arrive »said the driver

« already ? »ask accelerator and shokuhou who were both surprise

« well earlier you both start talking to each other so i took a long road,this time i just took the short road »said the driver

« that's why it took so much time go to that house ?! »ask shokuhou and accelerator

« yeaaaaah..... »said the driver

« so why did take so much time to get here  here ? »ask accelerator

« we has arrived since like a few minutes,but since you two to were busy talking analyzing the eyes of the other as if it was diamond,none of you actually remark we were arrived and you both stare at if each eyes without talking during a full minnute!»said the driver

there was a silence, an awkward silence

[did we really stare at each other during a full minute ?]though accelerator

[it didn't seem that long for me]though shokuhou

« anyways, i have a brat to pick up so i will go »said accelerator as he got out of the car

« yea-yeah you're right,i need to go see my clique »said shokuhou

they were both out of the car

when accelerator start to leave

« by the way i wasn't bluffing earlier,i did read your mind ! »said accelerator as he started smirking

« you act like a heartless person,i'm talking about the boy earlier you control him without any hesitation,but you tried to avoid violence,and you seem to really care about people around you,if not you wouldn't have run away from your friend yesterday,and you didn't need to stop those mercenaries either you could have just avoided them with you power,but you  choose to intervene. .... »started accelerator as shokuhou was looking at him

« i just think that underneath the selfish girl that you are,hide a very kind person »said accelerator

shokuhou was just standing like an idiot


accelerator started to turn around

"by the way,stop smiling to me like you do since i'm met you,i don't want to see your smile unless it's a real one"was all said accelerator

[that guy....i've met him yesterday,.....] though shokuhou

[and he totally figure me out!!!!] though the queen of tokiwadai,she was red like a tomato,she felt kinda humiliated that the number 1 figure her out faster than anyone while she is supposed to be an expert at it.


author's note: in astral buddy ,it's shown that shokuhou really care about the people around her,and even  if she sometime uses her power on her clique (hokaze for example),she truly respects them.



that's it for this chapter,and it was a big chapter (6060 words)!!!,it's almost three times the usual size of the chapters i usually write( i was motivated i guess).

The next chapter should arrive around Monday (not Sunday because that chapter was really big and i need to do some research about a few things)
