Mash-up Anime World: Creating the SCP Foundation to Contain Anomalies-Chapter 302 - 296: Misaka Meets Misaka

"Wait, who exactly are you guys?"

Kuroko looked at Haruto, her mind a bit muddled.

She had just been rescued out of nowhere and couldn't quite grasp the situation yet.

But Haruto was focused solely on escaping.

He had just remembered what part of the plot this was.

This was the scene where Kuroko and Misaka Mikoto meet for the first time.

Misaka Mikoto, while passing by a bank, saved Kuroko.

After that, Kuroko enrolled in Tokiwadai Middle School, reunited with Misaka, and began her bt (tsundere maniac) life.

If he didn't run now, there was a chance he'd get entangled with some troublesome characters!

Seeing that Haruto had no intention of stopping, Kuroko quickly chased after him. Then she saw Haruto and the others stop in front of the bank.

Kuroko was puzzled.

She saw a girl in a Tokiwadai uniform pointing at Haruto and the others in shock.

More importantly, there was another girl beside Gu Zeyuan—identical in appearance to the first.

Kuroko rubbed her eyes.

If not for the difference in their outfits, she would have thought there was a mirror placed there.

Haruto rubbed his temples.

Headache.

Did things really have to be this coincidental?

=================

Misaka's eyes widened.

She had seen the bank's shutter broken and came over to see if she could help.

But just as she arrived, she saw someone who looked exactly like her walk out from inside.

If Misaka wasn't absolutely certain that she was an only child, she might have thought she had a long-lost twin sister.

"Big Sister! Misaka joyfully calls out."

Misaka No. 1 chimed in unhelpfully.

That "Big Sister" and her self-reference as "Misaka" only made Mikoto more confused.

Could Mom really have had another child behind her back?

"Awaki, teleport us out—now!" Haruto suddenly said.

Awaki rolled her eyes and pointed her military-grade flashlight into the distance.

Kuroko froze.

She had just heard Awaki's name and found it strangely familiar.

Combining it with the earlier scene, this person seemed to have spatial abilities like her.

In that instant, Kuroko remembered—the red-haired girl before her was none other than the most powerful spatial ability user in Academy City!

"Wait—"

Kuroko instinctively reached out and grabbed Haruto's sleeve.

Mikoto, however, was more direct.

"You! Where do you think you're taking my little sister?!"

With that, she lunged at Haruto.

And then Awaki activated her ability, teleporting the group away from the bank.

When they reappeared, they were already in a small alley across the street.

Seeing that Kuroko and Mikoto had been teleported with them, Haruto reached out and pinched Awaki's cheek.

"You! Still dare say you're not bad at this!"

Awaki had a deadpan expression as her cheek was pinched.

Teleporting herself always gave her psychological trauma, causing calculation errors. Thus, she couldn't clearly separate nearby individuals during teleportation.

Anyone who touched the main teleport target—or the target themselves—would be teleported along by accident.

Blue sparks were already crackling between Mikoto's bangs.

"You tried to escape?! Who is this girl?!"

She clung tightly to Haruto's arm, preventing him from running again. At the same time, electricity crackled around her, clearly agitated.

"Big Sister, please don't make things difficult for Haruto-senpai! Haruto-senpai is very important to Misaka!" Misaka No. 1 chimed in mischievously.

She clung to Haruto's other arm, as if trying to claim him for herself and clearly enjoying the chaos.

Haruto's lips twitched.

He had wanted to say this before—

Wasn't this Misaka clone a bit too sly?

Where did this black-bellied behavior come from?

Sure enough, upon hearing Misaka No. 1's words, Mikoto's face darkened.

Even if she'd never been an older sister before, protecting one's younger sibling was instinctual.

No one would want their little sister to be abducted by some strange man.

"You! What's your relationship with this girl?! She's still in middle school! How can you even think of doing anything to her?!"

Haruto wanted to retort—

Aren't you also a middle schooler?

He simply shook his arms, pushing the two Misakas together.

"Go, go! You two go off somewhere and share intel."

Mikoto immediately grabbed Misaka No. 1 and dragged her aside for questioning.

"Hey, is that okay? Telling her everything like that..."

Misaki gently tugged at Haruto's sleeve and asked in a low voice.

Just a little bit of empathy—

If you were Mikoto, and you learned there was a plan that had copied 20,000 versions of yourself—

And those clones were destined to be slaughtered—

Just knowing about it would be enough to break someone.

"Better to take the hit and learn from it. The plan's already been stopped—it's better than staying in the dark and getting pulled into something even worse later."

Haruto shrugged.

Kuroko, listening from the side, was completely confused.

What were they even talking about?

But—

"Thank you."

Kuroko bowed deeply to Haruto in gratitude.

Even though she was a proud person, she also knew how to distinguish right from wrong.

If someone helped her, she'd always say thank you. That was part of her justice.

Haruto helped her up and smiled warmly.

There was no escaping now.

Might as well get along.

Seeing that gentle smile, Kuroko froze for a moment.

Updat𝓮d fr𝙤m ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com.

Until now, Haruto had seemed cold and distant, even avoiding her intentionally.

But now, this warm smile—such a stark contrast—felt like a breeze in spring.

"My name is Shirai Kuroko. I'll be enrolling in Tokiwadai Academy this year. May I ask your name?"

She asked softly.

"Takamine Haruto. I'm not a student of Academy City."

He answered honestly.

Kuroko froze, then widened her eyes.

Currently, Academy City had completely severed communication with the outside world. If he wasn't a student here... then could he be from the disconnected outside world?

"You—"

She wanted to ask more, but Haruto shook his head.

"In a little while, an announcement will be made. It's too complicated to explain now."

Since the SCP Foundation was going to cooperate with Academy City—

Then soon, information about the main world would be made public within the city. At that time, Haruto's background would be much easier to understand.

Kuroko didn't press further, but she continued to look at him with amazement.

Meanwhile, not far away, the two Misakas seemed to have finished talking.

Mikoto's pupils were trembling.

It was clear that what she had just learned was difficult for her to accept.

But Haruto believed she could handle it.

Mikoto was a strong-willed girl.

In the original plot, even when she learned of the plan and that thousands of Misakas had already died—

She still actively sought ways to stop it.

Now, with the plan already halted, and no casualties among the 20,000 clones—

The situation was far better.

Sure enough, after a brief period of shock, Mikoto walked toward Haruto with heavy steps.

She bowed deeply.

"I... I don't even know how to thank you. Thank goodness you stopped that plan. If it had continued... I can't even imagine the consequences."

Haruto shook his head.

"The reason I told you this... was to make you understand that this world isn't all sunshine and rainbows. You don't have to walk into the darkness—but you must be prepared for it. Otherwise, something like this will happen again."

Mikoto nodded firmly.

In elementary school, she had been tricked into donating her blood during an ability development experiment.

And just because of that one naïve decision—

Twenty thousand Misakas had been created and nearly sent to die.

She would never allow such a thing to happen again.

Seeing the determination returning to her eyes, Haruto nodded.

"Well then, this is goodbye."

With that, Haruto and the others vanished.

Mikoto and Kuroko both widened their eyes.

Neither had expected that after explaining everything, Haruto would still flee.

They were left behind, confused and at a loss.

"You're wearing a Tokiwadai uniform, and with that lightning ability... Are you the Railgun?"

After a moment of silence, Kuroko turned to Mikoto.

Mikoto nodded.

The two began talking, the gears of fate turning once more.

Only this time, their conversation revolved around Haruto.
