When Academy City was invaded by the mysterious organization "Entropy Reduction", Misaka Mikoto met Azuha, codenamed "Shadow Eater" on the battlefield. He has the strange ability to swallow energy, but there is deep fatigue hidden in his eyes. As they fight again and again, Mikoto gradually discovers that this seemingly cold enemy is actually a member of the "defective products" who are victims of Academy City's dark experiments.
"Let's capture it without any effort!" Mikoto's fingertips danced with blue and white electric arcs.
"Just surrender?" Cangye's voice spoke through the mask, carrying deep exhaustion, "We are here just so that people like you can see the glimmer of light in the shadows like us."
From a life-and-death fight to fighting side by side, when the "Return to Zero Project" threatened the safety of the entire Academy City, Aoi made a decision to change everything, while Mikoto used her lightning strikes to open the way to the light for him.
"Mikoto," he said in a hoarse voice as he handed out the fate-determining chip under the moonlight, "I want to catch the light you bring, even if it's just for a moment."
In the final explosion, she gave it all, not to destroy, but to save.
"Idiot... Let's catch the light this time..."
From the battlefield to the supermarket, from the enemy to the "surveillance target", Cangye clumsily learns the life of ordinary people under the guidance of Mikoto. And Mikoto also saw a glimmer of friendship beyond friendship in the process of getting along with him.
- The hilarious "Healthy Eating Battle" in the supermarket
- A quiet and warm "knowledge date" in the bookstore
- Kuroko Shirai's gritted teeth "Ape Surveillance"
- And the metal guatai badge that symbolizes commitment
Love between friend and foe/redemption and healing/daily comedy
