[The real Accelerator pointedly rests his chin in his hand, closing his eyes. He'd like to deal with this dream as little as possible, thanks, and he knows how it all goes anyways.
It was probably too much to ask for Leo to have forgotten Amai's name.]
Yeah, he was. She's a clone, but she wasn't meant for combat. She's more like the administrator to the Sister Network. Really fucking important, since she can basically control the remaining Sisters through commands.
[The waitress came to give them glasses of water. Accelerator ordered something at random off the menu. Suddenly, he noticed Last Order giving him a strange look from across the table.
“Oh! Also, says Misaka as Misaka chooses her words carefully. Well, I guess you can order food and pay like a normal person, huh? says Misaka as Misaka looks on in admiration.”
“Eh?”
“Yes. Misaka imagined you as someone who would just kick down the front door, eat all the food, then leap out of the window and calmly run away without paying, answers Misaka as Misaka is frank with you, even though she’s trembling.”
“Oh, right,” nodded Accelerator, yawning. “I mean, I could do that, too, but…the experiment is frozen—there’s no organization backing it at this point, is there? If I make a show of myself, shit’ll probably hit the fan.”
“But that’s already weird, says Misaka as Misaka interrupts you. Misaka doesn’t think anyone can stand up to you, whether it’s Anti-Skill or Judgment, says Misaka as Misaka offers her candid opinion. And if we go that far, it’s strange that you went along with the scientists in the first place, says Misaka as Misaka is confused.”
“I’m telling you…” Accelerator sighed. “It ain’t worth thinkin’ about. Let’s say I caused some trouble here in this shop. Then we just ran away without paying. Who’d come after me first?”
“Umm, I guess the employees and stuff, says Misaka as Misaka answers you.”
“Yeah. I’d kill them in no time flat. Like, seriously, you wouldn’t be able to blink. Then who would come next? The manager? Another blink and down he goes. Anti-Skill next? Judgment? Those ones are actually easier. The stronger their weapons, the more potent my reflection becomes. After that…I mean, if Academy City couldn’t rein me in, then the outside would get involved, right? But so what? Police forces, riot squads, the SDF…Not even the military, or special forces, or assassination groups would be able to do anything. Would they start to drop bombs on me? It could all just end in a torrent of nukes.”
“But what would that accomplish?” he declared.
If nuclear warheads did start flying around, he’d win the full-scale, international war against him. The only thing left after humanity was destroyed would be life in a cave, like primal humans lived. In order to live with the minimum requirements to be human, he ultimately needed to live within a society.
This was actually only a problem for those who had the power to destroy. He vaguely wondered if a president holding the firing code for nuclear missiles felt the same way.
“Oogh…Do you always talk in such a ridiculous, crazy way? asks Misaka as Misaka is surprised.”

Accelerator's frown increases.]
