Chapter 02
The following morning, at the hospital…
"Ah, good thing you're finally awake, my boy. However, given the amount of time you stay here, I'm starting to think that you like this room better than your own." Those words, said by the frog-faced doctor, were the first thing that Touma heard after he regained consciousness.
"I won't lie to you on that, doctor." Said Touma by the way of an apology. "But, wait! What happened to the girl?" He said while still a little dizzy.
"Could you be a little more specific please? I know at least ten thousand girls who are related to you in some way." Said the doctor as he signed some papers did a last check-up on Touma's health.
"Well…" Said Touma scratching the back of his head, "I'm talking about a nun, or at least she was dressed like one. But this one was wearing a red habit."
"Ah! You're talking about the girl named Alexandra that your friend brought here along with you? If that is it then don't worry, she's sleeping safe and soundly on a room down the corridor."
"Well, I'm glad to hear that, but when you say friend, you mean exactly who?"
Just as Touma asked this question to the frog-faced doctor, he heard someone clearing her throat loudly just a few inches away from where he was.
"So that's how you repay me? Not even remembering who dragged you all the way to this place?" Said a very irate Kaori Kanzaki as she glared at Touma.
"What the…!? Kanzaki, since when have you been here?" Touma was so surprise that he almost fell from his bed.
"And you still have the guts to ask me that? I'm here ever since I brought you to this place yesterday."
This time it was the doctor who cleared his throat to call for their attention, "Anyway, since you're well now, I need to show you a thing. Can you come with me please?"
A few minutes later, Touma sees himself at the hospital's pediatric ward.
The doctor stop in front of a room decorated with lots of Gekota related things.
"Now, I need you to promise me that you'll behave properly no matter what you see inside this room, ok?" The doctor asks just as he slides the door open…
A few hours earlier…
Dinnertime had just ended on the Tokiwadai Middle School dormitory and one of its most illustrious residents, Mikoto Misaka had just whisked herself away from the eyes of her peers – especially from Kuroko's perverted glare – and found her way to a nearby convenience store.
After walking calmly through the store's cramped corridors, trying to not draw attention towards herself and her real objective, Mikoto stopped in front of the dairy products section with a troubled look in her eyes.
"Ok, since I had already come this far…" Mikoto shook her head trying to reassure herself before picking up a couple of cartons of Musashino milk and ran as fast as she could towards the cashier.
"Thank you for your continued patronage!" Said the easily excited boy who worked at this store's night shift just as Mikoto left the place.
A few moments later, at a nearby park…
Mikoto had just finished drinking one of the milk cartons and was about to take down the other when she stopped for an instant and stared at the box, curiously.
"Wow, that's what I call fresh milk! Here says that these ones had been packed not even five hours ago. Anyway, here goes nothing…"
Back to the present, at the hospital…
"Yay! It's Gekota! Gekota's here!" A voice very well known Touma says as he and the frog-faced doctor enter the room.
A moment later and Touma is already practically rolling on the floor laughing after watching the doctor being mercilessly assaulted by the room's occupant.
"I thought that you told me you would behave like someone of your age, my boy." Said the doctor while trying to control the overexcited patient.
"Ok, ok, I'm sorry, doc. But it's just that you don't see something like this every day, you know?" Touma said as he managed stifle his laughter and look at the source of the commotion.
There, rolling on the ground along with the doctor was none other than Mikoto Misaka, behaving in an incredibly childlike way. In fact, if there wasn't one of her sisters right there trying to take her away from the doctor, Touma wouldn't be hard pressed think that the girl over there was actually Last Order, who somehow got aged in one night.
"That's enough! If you don't behave like a grown-up girl, you won't get any more Gekota candies. Says Misaka as she sternly scolds her big sister." Said the sister, which – thanks to the necklace he had previously given her – Touma recognized as being Misaka #10032, as she grabbed Mikoto by the collar of her uniform and forced her to her bed.
Once Misaka put her sister back on her bed and gave her one consolation candy, Touma said, "Other than the fact that Zapper is behaving like a five-years-old I don't think that I understand what's happening here. Can you please tell me, doctor?"
"Actually, it's not only her who is behaving like this. Ever since yesterday's evening there are reports of people behaving like this all over the city."
"What!? Are you trying to tell me that all over the city there are grown-up people behaving like children?" Touma said unable to believe in such an absurdity.
"Perhaps, if Misaka reports the events of yesterday it would be easier for you to understand. Says Misaka as she tries to make herself useful."
"Well, go ahead." Touma said while looking Misaka in the eyes.
"Very well, then. Says Misaka as she tries to hide the embarrassment of being under the boy's stare by averting her eyes."
Before he even knows, Touma is taken aback by the harsh reality before his eyes…
