Chapter 23 "Sure enough, we can't give Lady Onion too much autonomy."

"Hatsune Miku?"

"Yes, yes, the singer who appeared recently, I think her songs are very good."

"But doesn't her voice sound weird?"

"It sounds like electronic music, isn't she a robot?"

"I think so too."

"..."

On the way to school, Byakuya heard several girls discussing Hatsune Miku.

It seems that the girl is already somewhat famous.

Of course, this is not enough. You have to become more famous, otherwise you won't make much money.

"Let Hatsune Miku become a money-making machine. If you put this approach in the world before time travel, you might be hunted down by those 'Knights'."

Byakuya complained to himself when he thought of that doll.

Then I thought about whether to upgrade Hatsune Miku when I make money.

There was no money at that time, and the materials used were all cheap. As a result, this "Hatsune Miku" was of little use and was just a ruthless singing machine.

"At least you have to be able to protect yourself, so as not to be destroyed by others casually."

While thinking, I moved forward and soon arrived near the school.

I happened to meet Saten Ruiko and the others and found that they were also discussing Hatsune Miku.

It seems that the dolls are more famous than I thought.

"Good morning, Bai Ye-san."

The beautiful girl Saten Ruiko, who is full of energy, greets Byakuya proactively.

Fortunately, this is not a Class [-] classroom, so there won't be so many strange looks thrown at me.

And the students in the class are almost used to it by now.

"morning."

The boy's attitude was neither distant nor close, and seemed relatively bland.

After responding, he asked: "Are you talking about Hatsune Miku?"

"Yes, Hatsune Miku."

Saten Ruiko nodded excitedly, seemingly passionate about this topic, and kept talking about the information she knew.

"She is a singer who has just appeared recently. Her origin seems a bit mysterious. No one knows her. Her voice sounds like it was synthesized electronically, but her singing is very nice and very popular. The new song "Only My Railgun" released two days ago is currently being played today. The amount has exceeded..."

"and many more."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Bai Ye.

The boy seemed very surprised: "OnlyMyRailgun? She sang this song?"

"That's right, what's wrong? Is there any problem?"

"……No."

Bai Ye shook his head lightly.

Of course there was no problem, it was just a bit unexpected. I didn’t expect that girl to sing this song.

No wonder so many people are talking about her suddenly.

OnlyMyRailgun.

Just the title of this song can be associated with the third "railgun".

As for the lyrics, although most students are not familiar with the third person, they can definitely guess that it is talking about her.

Level 5's popularity is very high. After all, there are only seven of them in the entire Academy City.

They are not idols, but they all have many fans, which can be said to bring their own traffic.

Suddenly a song related to the third place appeared, and the quality was very good. It naturally attracted a large number of fans and passers-by, and the discussion continued to increase. It is now one of the hottest topics.

The songs' rankings on various music charts are also constantly rising.

Saten Ruiko likes to follow trends and listen to music. Of course she will not miss such things, and she quickly collects a lot of information.

I was just sharing it with Xiaomu, Zhenzi, and Mingmei.

As for why there is no Uiharu Shiori...

Because she was away and went to work again.

Discipline committee members are very hardworking.

"This song has already reached the top three on the charts, Bai Ye-san, didn't you know?"

"……I did not notice."

Without anyone paying attention, that doll made such big news...

This kind of behavior is simply digging a hole for him.

Hatsune Miku was a doll made by him. Aleister must have known about this. After all, he had not hidden it from the beginning.

He has met the third person several times recently, but the puppet he made sang a song related to the third person. Aleister might think that he is interested in the third person, and may even think that he is related to the third person. We already have a very close relationship.

Under normal circumstances, this misunderstanding is nothing.

The problem is that Bai Ye wants to trick the third person into dealing with Aleister.

When Misaka Mikoto takes action and Aleister counterattacks, she will probably beat him too because of the misconception that "you guys are on the same team."

If this is really the case, what's the point of hiding now?

"Sure enough, we can't give Lady Onion too much autonomy."

Byakuya's purpose in creating Hatsune Miku was to make money, and to make money quickly and in large amounts.

How can you make a lot of money quickly in this day and age?

The answer is: cash out traffic.

So Hatsune Miku, who was freed up and had enough autonomy, chose a very popular approach.

The result was a conflict with his master's plan...

"Things have already happened, and there is nothing we can do about it."

Maybe you need to modify your plan?

The original plan was to improve Misaka Mikoto's abilities to a certain extent, and then find an opportunity for her to throw a few thunderbolts at Aleister.

Although this won't kill Aleister, it can at least cause him some trouble.

If Misaka Mikoto is given more "spoilers", it will create even more trouble.

But now this situation...

How about giving up on Misaka Mikoto and finding someone else to train her?

It’s just getting started, so it wouldn’t be a pity to give up, and it’s still not too late.

Or change the idea and directly increase the intensity of training her?

If that girl could grow up to a level that is [-]-[-] equal to Aleister's, and the two of them join forces, at least the numerical disadvantage would no longer exist.

Himself and Misaka Mikoto VS Aleister and Aiwass.

But it is better to train Mugino Shinri, because Misaka Mikoto may not necessarily join forces with him, and Mugino Shinri is his subordinate.

Or grow both together?

If they can all grow up, it will become three versus two, and your side will have the advantage in numbers.

"Um……"

Bai Ye thought carefully and analyzed the pros and cons.

He was chatting with Saten Ruiko and bickering with Xiaomu and Akemi.

Mako wouldn't talk so much because he has a more elegant personality.

……

I still remember the words of the boy in the dream very clearly, and they were all related to abilities, so Misaka Mikoto cared about them very much.

I tried it on the way to school, but my ability didn't change.

When she got to school, she wanted to take the class seriously, but found that the teacher was teaching things she already knew. She felt too bored, so she started trying again.

From morning to noon to afternoon, I kept trying.

Since she didn't have any classmates she could talk to, no one bothered her.

Kuroko Shirai, who is in the same dormitory, is an exception.

But that girl is a first-year student, and she is a second-year student. Except for a brief encounter during lunch time, they basically don't stay together at other times.

So at the end of the day, Misaka Mikoto's bangs had "Bili~" flashing lights.

Very faint and obvious.

During class, classmates and teachers would look at her strangely.

But Bai Ye is right when he says something: Level 5’s character is extremely egotistical.

So the girl didn't care about them at all, but concentrated on doing her own thing, and kept trying based on what the boy said.

Can the words I heard in my dream really make my abilities stronger?

Misaka Mikoto was skeptical about this.

But it’s idle anyway, and it’s a bit boring, so I might as well give it a try.

If it still doesn't work by the time school is over, just give up.
