Shoujo Grand Summoning Chapter 198: Nunotaba s.h.i.+n.o.bu's warning…

”This is impossible!”

Wu Yan only responded with a smile. Well, his face anyway, his heart is still feeling heavy because he knows all too well who this person before him is.

Nunotaba s.h.i.+n.o.bu is one of the major contributors to the sisters' thought and their network, it would be quite accurate to say that she's half the reason the sisters are here today.

Mikoto didn't know who she was but since she heard the word lv6 s.h.i.+ft program, she knew that this devil of a plan is beginning again and she's anxious about it.

”Is what you're saying true? Tell me!”

Mikoto shouted at her out of unrest. If not for Wu Yan & company, she might have already grabbed her by the collars.

Wu Yan held Mikoto back by her hand and dragged her back to his side before consoling her.

”Mikoto, relax. Give the girl a chance to speak.”

”Yan…”

Mikoto looked at Wu Yan with a worried expression on her face. She then nodded and backed off, she still kept her eyes on Nunotaba s.h.i.+n.o.bu though.

With cold eyes, Nunotaba s.h.i.+n.o.bu watched everything proceed until Mikoto calms down. She then turned back to Wu Yan.

”It seems Misaka Mikoto trusts you very much…”

He laughed but said nothing in response. Instead, he asked her with a low voice.

”Fill me in. Why is the lv6 s.h.i.+ft program back in action? The sisters' supply dwindled to a very low level, insufficient to complete the program, at least that's what the status quo was last I checked?”

Nunotaba s.h.i.+n.o.bu took a good look at Wu Yan and she can't help but wonder where did this youth obtain cla.s.sified information like that. How did he know about the program and the sisters? Even more so, how did he know the sisters were stolen…

”Actually, I don't know the reason…”

Nunotaba s.h.i.+n.o.bu said after thinking for a bit. Her words were calm but one could just sense a hint of helplessness in it.

”You don't know why?”

Wu Yan lifted an eyebrow. She didn't know the reason why the program which wouldn't be able to yield any result had been restarted?

Perhaps another one of Aleister's backup plan? If so, what is it?…

Seeing Wu Yan thinking hard about the problem, Mikoto felt a bit pained. This is all her fault, she had an indirect play in this plan. Wu Yan is not only trying to save her hope, he's putting himself to work on saving the sisters.

Mikoto knew this was all for her.

A smile found its way onto Mikoto's face as she grabbed Wu Yan's hand. She stared into Wu Yan's eyes with her tecolored eyes. There was a never before seen warmness within those eyes…

Wu Yan almost lost himself in those warm tecolored eyes of hers. This is because she had never used eyes like these on him before.

The soft eyes didn't last long of course. Mikoto turned away in a flush of bashfulness, tinging her face red and amusing Wu Yan to no end.

Mikoto turned towards Nunotaba s.h.i.+n.o.bu and hesitated a bit before continuing.

”You… Why are you telling me all of this?”

Nunotaba s.h.i.+n.o.bu stayed silent, she didn't answer Mikoto's question. Instead, she turned back towards Wu Yan.

”Originally, I had a plan to give the sisters mature thought processes and leverage the original's disinclination towards the experiment to bring an end to this experiment.”

”But, the sudden appearance of [Hunter] led to the stealing of thousands of sisters. Said individual also used some form of method to cut off the connection between those sisters and the Misaka Network. This means that we have lost all contact with the stolen sisters. It was decided that this plan would be deeply buried up.”

”[Hunter?]”

”[Hunter], that is the codename the higher ups of Academy City gave to the mysterious individual who stole the sisters. His ident.i.ty remains a mystery and there appear to be no leads at all pertaining to this individual. Hence, the codename.”

Wu Yan bitterly laughed. Much to everyone's surprise, Nunotaba s.h.i.+n.o.bu broke a smile as well and her tone took on a more favorable tune.

”I was worried about what [Hunter] would do the sisters, what his objective was and the like…”

”But now!”

Nunotaba s.h.i.+n.o.bu looked at Wu Yan before continuing.

”I think I can stop worrying now, [Hunter] probably won't hurt them…”

Busted…

Wu Yan shrugged. Nunotaba s.h.i.+n.o.bu is not on his s.h.i.t list, she might have partic.i.p.ated in the lv6 s.h.i.+ft program in the past but she showed regret for what she did, didn't she? It was out of guilt that she decided to save the sisters.

Wu Yan didn't try to pull one over here. Instead, he grinned.
