"And that's what happened, says Misaka as Misaka provides an after-the-fact report."
Last Order was on the street right next to Yomikawa's apartment building. She was wearing a light blue camisole with an unbuttoned men's dress shirt worn over it.
The small girl was speaking to another girl who looked like a larger version of Last Order. She was Serial Number 10032 aka Misaka Imouto.
Misaka Imouto was wearing the winter uniform of Tokiwadai Middle School, a beige blazer and a pleated skirt with a dark-blue check pattern. For the purposes of the experiment, they had originally worn the same outfit as Misaka Mikoto who was their Original, and that custom had continued on even after the experiment had ended.
The one difference from the Original was the large pair of electronic goggles on Misaka Imouto's forehead. They looked like night-vision goggles, but they also visualized data on magnetic and electric field lines that could not be seen with the naked eye.
Misaka Imouto stared at Last Order with eyes that held no discernible emotion.
"That report has already been transmitted to every Misaka via the network. Why go to the effort of restating it orally? says Misaka as she asks the obvious question."
"Sometimes we need to undergo communication using our normal 5 senses to correct errors like when a clock starts to run fast or slow! says Misaka as Misaka gives a plausible explanation!"
"If a higher model like you says so, I will accept that explanation, says Misaka as she ignores her superior's complaints with an annoyed expression. It may prove useful to Misaka's rehabilitation, says Misaka as she finds something she can use to force herself to accept this."
She had said she had an annoyed expression, but her expression did not actually change in the slightest. Last Order flailed her arms and legs around, but Misaka Imouto was not swept away by the smaller girl's pace.
Instead, she looked up at the apartment building at her own pace.
"But it certainly is foolish to be stuck standing here blankly after getting yourself locked out by the self-locking door while wandering around, says Misaka as she restates your situation. If Misaka had not happened to be walking by, you would have been left all alone, says Misaka as she secretly smiles while thinking of the individual specs of the higher model."
"It wasn't Misaka's fault! It was that unaccommodating self-locking door's fault! says Misaka as Misaka roars in indignation! It's an electric lock, but it would only beep annoyingly when Misaka tried to open it with her powers! says Misaka as Misaka swings her arms around to relieve some stress!!"
"A lock that does not budge even with an Electromaster trying to open it should be praised, says Misaka in an objective evaluation."
"Uuh…" groaned Last Order like a dog that refused to give up.
But that tiny higher model had little experience with the world, so her focus changed easily.
"By the way, Misaka was wondering something, says Misaka as Misaka points toward your forehead."
"Hm? Misaka's forehead is a normal size. Misaka is not a forehead character, says Misaka as she brings a hand to her forehead to check."
"No, not that. Those goggles, says Misaka as Misaka points again."
Last Order was focused on the electronic goggles Misaka Imouto was wearing.
With a puzzled look, the little girl asked, "Um, why does Misaka not have a pair of those goggles when every other Misaka has one? asks Misaka as Misaka gives you a jealous look."
"Oh?" Misaka Imouto brought her fingertips to the goggles on her forehead, looked down at Last Order's face, and then checked the goggles on her forehead again. "You and Misaka are just two different Misakas, says Misaka as she implicitly tells you to give up."
"That kind of 'our family has different circumstances from other families' line isn't enough! says Misaka as Misaka immediately begins protesting! And that reasoning means Misaka is the only one that belongs to a different family, says Misaka as Misaka brings up an even bigger problem!!"
While uttering her Misaka-filled lines and crying "Boo! Boo!", Last Order grabbed Misaka Imouto's skirt and started violently fanning it.
"Misaka wants one! Misaka wants one, too! says Misaka as Misaka uses her small appearance to its fullest by negotiating by throwing a tantrum!!"
"You may be trying to be cute, but that will only piss off someone of the same sex, so it has the opposite effect, says Misaka as she gives a thorough explanation."
What might have seemed a bigger issue was the fact that Last Order was pulling up Misaka Imouto's skirt making the panties she had worn on a whim that were tied together on either side with ribbons visible for all to see, but she did not seem to care about that.
"Mmhh…" groaned Last Order at the other girl's unchanging expression. "Hey, #10032, could you give a quick bow? says Misaka as Misaka asks a favor."
"?"
Misaka Imouto looked puzzled, but she carried out the higher model's instructions nonetheless.
"Ha ha ha! You're wide open! says Misaka as Misaka succeeds in her thieving plan!!"
She vigorously swiped the goggles from the other girl's lowered head.
Before Misaka Imouto could say anything, Last Order turned her back with a delighted grin.
"If you fall for such a basic trick, Misaka might need to recheck all of the models' routines, says Misaka as Misaka shouts out her parting line! Hah hah! If you don't like it, come and get it back, says Misaka as Misaka dashes away while basking in the glory of victory!!"
Despite her small appearance, she disappeared somewhere with powerful strides.
"…"
For a while, Misaka Imouto stared blankly off in the direction Last Order had disappeared into.
"I cannot ignore a direct order from the higher model, says Misaka as she extremely reluctantly pulls a submachine gun and rubber bullets from her school bag."
An ominous metallic noise reverberated throughout the peaceful street.
"Even if this is only practice, Misaka's opponent is the higher unit, so this lower unit cannot be called immature for going all out, says Misaka as she gives the obvious interpretation. This is not at all because Misaka is pissed off. This is nothing more than a reasonable conclusion based in logic, says Misaka as she praises her own calm thought process while running at full speed with a real gun in one hand."
She appeared expressionless at first glance, but a closer inspection showed that the corner of Misaka Imouto's eye was twitching as she began her pursuit.
Last Order was completely aware of that emotional state while she ran down a back alley and tried to provoke her further using the Misaka Network made up of the Sister's brainwaves and weak electromagnetic waves they produced.
"Hah hah! A normal Misaka can never defeat this Misaka, says Misaka as Misaka laughs loudly about her victory over the commoners!"
"The time for revolution has come, announces Misaka #10032."
