250. Aftermath of The Chaotic Night in Academy City.
The next day...
Thanks to the chaos caused by the chat group member last night, Academy City is still in chaos, as people still wonder what happened last night. Although there's no one from AntiSkill who died (only injured), the dark side of Academy City can't be said the same. All darkside groups were dismantled, with dead body count easily in hundred thanks to Manaka's pettiness sending servants after them.
Many civilians couldn't help but be scared to go out, and there's a rumour that people still get killed in the open. (mainly the servant who killed them).
For all the situation in his city, Aleister promised he would handle the cleanup. In response to the situation, he ordered Academy City to focus on rebuilding projects and nothing else.
But even with Academy City's technological level, it will likely take several days or even weeks to rebuild the city. Many areas of Academy City were completely in rubble, with some, like Districts 6 and 22, leveled to the ground. Half of the board directors were also assassinated by Manaka, and many of the city's security personnel were injured.
Despite all the chaos they caused, none of the chat group members... the culprit of chaos last night became hunted or even known, thanks to Aleister's guarantee and protection. Even the fight between Kaito and Accelerator was covered, and Aleister directly stated the number 1 and the former number 1 just solving dispute between them under his arrangement.
The news was easily fabricated, and it became a major cleanup of the corrupted director and evil forces within Academy City under the Chairman's arrangement.
Technically, that's what actually happened for real, and Aleister himself, who lures all the forces out.
Hence, chat group members still leisurely chat and eat in public without concern, since the public didn't know that they were the main cause of the chaos last night.
>>>>>
Right now, all the chat group members who came to this world haven't gone back yet, and are having breakfast together in one of the famous cafes close to Tokiwadai.
They were also discussing the situation and what action they should take after last night.
For example, Misaka informed everyone that she managed to rescue 400 experimented Misaka sisters and already sent them all to the base world. The only exception would be Dolly, who chose to live with Shokohou Misaki, as in the original plot, but even both of them already expressed their curiosity about the other world, so they probably will move out later when they come back to the base world.
"In the end, everything goes well." Aika said with a smile, "You really did a good job of persuading Accelerator, darling."
"Yeah, I didn't expect you manage to persuade him. Did you use points to cheat?" Misaka curiously asked.
"Of course, no."Kaito shrugged and commented, "Except for stopping him from being violent, the talk itself wasn't difficult. We all know Accelerator deep in his heart, seeking companionship and trying to be a good person."
"That's true." Manaka added, "Accelerator just being tsundere. Even though he's angry, the fact that he didn't attack any innocent who watched the fight means he's a really good person."
"Yeah, I did realize that. That's why I tried to talk with him instead of trying to brainwash him."
...
The fact that in the original, Accelerator is willing to suffer just to protect Last Order is clearly a sign that he's actually a good person... albeit still a villain.
With Accelerator Esper's ability, it should be easy for him to literally blow up the city in anger, but he still chooses not to affect any innocent people in the city. If he were a really bad person, like former Manaka, she wouldn't hesitate to harm many people as long as she reached her goal.
...
"Speaking of which, is it really safe to let Last Order stay with Accelerator?" Misaka suddenly asked with doubt, "Is it better to send her off to the base world?"
"That's what your world wants, Misaka." Kaito explained helplessly, opening his arm wide, "Besides, we already know how Accelerator would treat Last Order with care."
"If the personal task didn't come out, then I may support your idea, Misaka-san, but it was clear the world didn't want Last Order get separated with that guy," Aika added.
Hearing the answer, Misaka sighed, "...I guess I can always monitor her through Misaka's network, to ensure her well-being."
Since it's her world consciousness wants it to happen, Misaka knows there's nothing she can do about it.
"Wait, you're still able to access Misaka's network? Wouldn't that mean that with it, you can always go to level 6 anytime?" Kaito asked curiously.
"In theory, yes," Misaka admitted,
With her current strength, Misaka has the highest authority in the Misaka network, easily suppressing Last Order or Kihara Gensei. She was also able to fully use it to her needs, whether communicating or using the brain power of her 20000 clone!
Everyone who heard her answer was really surprised. Misaka is currently among the top 8 strongest members, and now she could even become even stronger if she wanted to.
"Wow, I guess Misaka is going to join the top rank in the chat group members, surpassing me." Aika teased.
"I wouldn't use it unless necessary, though." Misaka commented seriously, "I would rather become stronger on my own than rely on my sisters."
"I will just occasionally check it to make sure all my sisters are okay."
With meticulous care that the Accelerator showed in the original, none of the chat group members were concerned about it. Besides, with the support of world consciousness, forcefully separating Accelerator from her may end in bad results. It's the same world consciousness that is willing to give a personal task to Kaito, just to make sure Accelerator becomes Last Order's partner.
...
"Anyway, now everything is going well. Should we go back now? I basically did nothing except for using my punch to threaten that angel." Saitama, who has been listening quietly, suddenly argued, "I forgot to freeze the time of my world, so I am afraid I would miss the supermarket discount."
""...""
Hearing Saitama's suggestion, everyone just wryly smiled, knowing it's just a quirk of his. Aika gave him a nod, "Sensei, you can go back, but always be ready to help us in an emergency."
"Of course." Saitama nods, doesn't mind the slightest, "Just mention me in the group."
With Aleister, the church forces and Magic gods exist in this world; Aika wasn't that arrogant to think they were absolutely safe by doing nothing in this world. After that, Yuu and Esdeath also expressed wanting to go back, as they were also having some business in the base world
Yuu herself is holding the position of 3 major cities, Anti-Zombie in the base world. Unlike Aincrad, they were still short of staff, so Yuu really couldn't leave for way too long.
As for Esdeath, she holds the head security of Baroque and Paradise City, and she was already ordered by Crocodile to go back since early morning.
With all that said, Aika and Manaka decide to stay in this world, joining the Kaito to help him to take care of the aftermath. Aika mainly to ensure that Kaito didn't get into more trouble and let her darling have a 'vacation', honestly.... while Manaka, knowing there's a bunch of Kihara wanted to trouble his lover, decided to personally take care of them (without anyone in the chat group knowing) and even replace their position altogether.
>>>>>
After three of them left, Kaito was dragged by Manaka and Aika to go shopping together, contrary to his dismay. Kaito thought there was no way he would need to revisit this place, but it seems his bad luck is working properly as usual. Even worse, the shopping district was still intact despite all the commotion last night!
Even worse, now he comes with 2 beautiful girls beside him, Kaito becomes the center of attention wherever he goes. To make it quadruple worse, during the event, Kaito meets Kuroko, who is currently patrolling and creating misunderstandings about him.
"Hello, Kaito-san. It seems you are not alone... Hmm..."
"Uh, H-Hello, Shirai-san." Kaito greeted her awkwardly, as Kuroko looked at him with disgust, "By the way, let me introduce her. She's Misaka junior and roommate, Shirai Kuroko."
"Nice to meet you all." Kuroko nods at Aika and Manaka, who give her a 'sly' smile and then question Kaito, "You seem to visit the shopping district a lot, and now you are coming with 2 more different girls?"
"Ahahaha... yeah."
Hearing her comment, Kaito couldn't help but resign to his fate. It's not like he is willing to visit this acursed shopping district, but the girls around him keep dragging him here to suffer. Also, seeing the yuri girl look at him with scrutiny, Kaito started getting a headache and wondered how he was supposed to explain his situation.
"Are you cheating from Ravel-san?"
"No, no, no... these 2 are also my girlfriend." Kaito quickly explained, but that answer made Kuroko even more disgusted. However, she noticed that neither Aika nor Manaka seemed to mind Kaito's words, so she was forced to believe Kaito was telling the truth.
????
"Really? You have a lot of girlfriends, Kaito-san? Is it really a thing for Westerners... having multiple lovers?"
"Uh, yeah..." Kaito scratched his head and asked his lovers, "You two, please help me."
Manaka and Aika, who have read Kaito's memory in this world prior to coming here, nod and start introducing themselves. They also understand there's no way Kuroko is going to be a competitor for Kaito's affection, and there'sa big chance she will follow to the base world in the future after Misaka decides to confess about her identity later on.
"My name is Fuwa Aika. I am Kaito's first girlfriend. We came from the same country as Ravel-san."
"And my name is Manaka Saijyou. Am I Kaito's fourth girlfriend? I am not sure."
"You are the fifth girlfriend, Manaka. Though in order of importance, you may be on the third?"
"I am a latecomer after all, there's nothing I can do."
...!!!
Hearing their introduction, especially after Manaka, now Kuroko looked at Kaito with straight hostility, "Five girlfriends? Aren't you really that amazing, Kaito-san?"
""Pffft...""
"Uh, yeah. You guys ain't helping."
Kaito was hoping they could help him, but unfortunately, he forgot his girlfriend was also quite mischievous and didn't help at all. Since there's nothing he can do to hide it, Kaito can only be honest about it.
"I guess in a way I am just that lucky, Kuroko-san." Kaito expressed his thoughts honestly, "So yeah, I do have 2 other girlfriends that don't come with me."
...
"Scumbag." Kuroko spat out, while also retreating in distance, "Stay away from Onee-san! You don't have an idea about her, do you?"
"No way! I don't have any attraction toward Misaka at all!"
"So you are saying that Onee-sama was unattractive?! What a scumbag!"
"Say what you want... damn it!" Kaito rolled his eyes, already immune to that word, and retorted, "It's not like I am pursuing them; they just happen to like me, and I accepted their feeling."
...
From the very beginning, besides liking Ravel after getting saved by her, Kaito genuinely has no thought of starting any romantic relationship or even pursuing the girls within the chat group, as he is more interested in familial relationships. But the girls just like him for various reasons, and there's no way Kaito could really refuse their feelings.
"Aika-san, Manaka-san, is that true?" Kuroko asked curiously.
"That's indeed correct." Aika confirmed easily, "I was the one who was pursuing him, and it even took me a while to make him realize my feelings."
Aika remembers how difficult it was to tell Kaito that she's interested in him instead of his ex-boyfriend or step-brother. So much so that it took a task alone with Kaito to her world, spending some time for a while, to tell her intention and her plan for the future.
....
"For me, there's some reason behind it." Manaka also explained her reason, "But I eventually find Kaito-san interesting, and now I already fall for him."
As for Manaka, it was mainly due to her being afraid of being kicked from the chat group, but the more she learn about their leader, the more Manaka found him really likable. Although Kaito is the one who needs help the most in the chat group right now, Kaito's determination to care and help other members with anything, without expecting any reward, is very respectable and worthy of admiration from her.
Meanwhile, listening to the dreamy tone of Kaito's girlfriend, Kuroko knows that Kaito seems to be a genuinely great person, and that's made her scared.
...
"...Now, I am afraid my Onee-sama would become your girlfriend too, so can you stop being friends with Onee-sama?" Kuroko requested with a pleading tone, "I will pay you as long as you are willing to stop contacting Misaka Onee-sama!"
""Pffft...""
Both Aika and Manaka laughed at her offer, while Kaito could only roll his eyes.
"I am sorry, but that wouldn't be possible." Kaito explained, as the chat group member would never get separated unless they got kicked, "Don't worry, Misaka and I actually never get along that much. You can trust me!"
"That's true." Aika added, "I can reassure you, Misaka is the least girl that Kaito is willing to contact among our friends."
In Aika's opinion, Yuu's and Uta's making a move to Kaito has a higher chance than Misaka's making moves against her lover; even considering his deed, trying his best to save Misaka sisters.
...
"I see. That's good to know." Kuroko commented with relief in her tone, before scolding Kaito again while protecting her chest, "But still, it doesn't mean it makes Kaito-san less dangerous, you scumbag."
"..."
""Pfff!!""
Getting scolded by Kuroko and laughed at by his lovers, Kaito felt somewhat dejected, but there was really nothing he could do because it was the truth. Still, Kaito didn't feel sad or regretful about his messy relationship; he didn't have the heart to choose only one among the girls, and thankfully, everyone seemed to get along, albeit there was rivalry among them.
Afterward, Kaito (suffering) and his two lovers went on a shopping date for a few hours before heading back. Since more people were living in his apartment, Aika and Manaka decided to rent the rooms beside Kaito's apartment, which were connected to his, so they didn't need to move out at all.
The only unfortunate thing is that Ravel, who was sulking since her promised date in this world didn't proceed properly.
Obviously, Kaito is aware of how much Ravel has been wronged since coming into this world and decides to promise that Kaito will make it up to her later with a special engagement party when they return to the High School DxD world.
>>>>>
At a late night, in a deserted building, an old man was heavily injured, after getting slashed in the guts and having all of his limb cutted out. If Misaka saw this, she would be surprised, because the old man that currently getting tortured is the one who troubled her last night, the Original Kihara Gensei.
"No life sign... No shadow... what are you?" Kihara Gensei said with difficulty... while spitting out blood. In his eyes, he saw a white-haired man, wearing red armor... the famous ARCHER, Emiya Shirou, was sent by Manaka to execute him.
After offending her last night, Manaka didn't waste time seeking Aleister's cooperation to target all of Kihara and eradicate all of them. In exchange, Manaka is willing to allow Aleister to learn about heroic spirit existence in her world, and he fully agrees with it. Unlike everyone in the chat group, Manaka was a real ruthless character who only cared about Kaito and the chat group members.
She simply dont care whether some Kihara has become good or not (in the plot), Manaka simply wants to kill all of them just because one of them dared to target her lover. Even if that means Manaka needs to summon hundreds of Heroic spirits.
...
"You don't need to know me. You just angered the evil lady so much, so I am here to kill you." Archer replied.
...!!!
"It was... Misaka's friend... I see." Kihara Gensei's eyes started to dim, but his mouth still gave him an arrogant crooked smile, "But even if you kill me, many Kihara... know about Kaito... He will still get... targeted!"
Amused by Kihara Gensei's threat, Archer decides to mock him, "We know. So the lady ordered to kill every Kihara Family in the city. Even Kihara outside the city will not be spared."
"That's not... possible!"
"Aleister already sold you all out. More than 5000 Kihara on the planet, name and location. Even on the magic side. We will find a way to get all of them later."
...!!!
Hearing Archer answer, this time Kihara Gensei couldn't help but become crazy, realizing that all of his 'family' soon follow him to hell, "Hahaha... cough... haha...!! What kind... of monster... we just provoke---"
*Slash*
Without letting him finish, Archer directly slashed him in half from head to bottom. Archer then clicked his tongue after seeing some blood splatter on him, "Tch. Getting overworked every night, if I am not a heroic spirit, I would already died to exhaustion."
Archer opened his 'smartphone' to check the next target, "Let's see what's next... Kihara Nayuta? She's part of Judgement, so this might be troublesome.... oh well, the Chairman promised, so it's not my problem."
After confirming the general location and identity of the next Kihara, Archer quickly turns his spirit form and moves out.
*DASH*
In the next few days, many murders happened in the Academy City, all related to the Kihara Family and their private army. Thankfully, in the Academy City, Kihara's family's death news was directly suppressed by Aleister, so the public didn't realize what happened despite thousand of them were murdered.
