"So, you mean we should use Mizukawa Ran's core memories as a reference for future actions?"
Shokuhou Misaki nodded and replied.
"That's right."
Accelerator, holding his forehead, thought for a moment and asked again.
"Then my only question is, can we be sure the information is valid?"
"Even if it's core memories, with the **League of Villains**' special methods, it could be fake information left to confuse us, right?"
The blonde girl shook her finger and explained confidently.
"Judging by Mizukawa Ran's and the previously captured **League of Villains** members' memories, this possibility is almost zero."
"From the core memories, besides marveling at the story's wonder and coincidence."
"What concerns me more is the necessary information about the **League of Villains**."
"I never thought we would get it so easily."
Shokuhou Misaki showed a subtle expression of regret as she spoke.
It's like a game where players spend a lot of effort and brainpower to design a process, needing perfect operation to achieve the final game achievement.
But it feels like completing it by accident with a game bug.
The **League of Villains**, the gathering place of malice, has always been the biggest headache for heroes, the police, and even Accelerator and Shokuhou.
The enemies can take their time to gather information and prepare.
To counter their destruction, the defenders often have to run around and defend passively.
This isn't due to a fundamental power difference between the two sides, but because of the Quirks (abilities) in that world.
Once the malicious ones decide to hide, the defenders can't come up with effective plans.
After all, many effective plans would affect innocent people's lives.
Just like how Endeavor described All Might, under the hero **Symbol of Peace**, the world's defenders are too gentle, always thinking of using their limited power to endlessly protect others.
This belief that ended the **Dark Age** and flourished in the **Golden Age** is something Accelerator can understand but finds hard to accept.
While someone was thinking and mocking themselves, the blonde girl continued.
"First, the police have preliminarily confirmed the location of the **League of Villains**' safe house."
"The information came from people who saw a man with a patched face entering a floor with no other tenants, and one day, while browsing the news, they saw a photo of someone who left a deep impression on them, identified by the police as a current criminal."
"Mizukawa Ran's core memories also confirmed the same information."
Accelerator thought for a moment about the criminals he had seen with such obvious features and said.
"It's Dabi."
The girl nodded and continued.
"Yes, it's him. Just talking about that annoying guy makes me angry."
"We can be pretty sure the information is true."
Shokuhou suddenly changed her tone and raised her voice.
"But!"
"That **safe house** is just a temporary place for Shigaraki Tomura."
"And according to the 'story' in the memory, this realization is just setting the stage for the real mastermind behind the League of Villains to appear."
Accelerator asked with some confusion.
"Setting the stage? So the real leader of the League of Villains isn't Shigaraki Tomura?"
Shokuhou Misaki answered confidently.
"In the 'story,' he's just the chosen successor of the mastermind named 'AFO.'"
Hearing this, a chilling light flashed in Accelerator's red eyes.
The white-haired boy slowly grinned.
"The dark emperor AFO, who was defeated by All Might at his peak? He's still alive? Interesting! Interesting! This is really interesting!"
"according to you, I can crush these persistent big and small villains one by one, right?"
"Happy? If it goes well, I'll be very happy too☆"
"The only regret is probably not being involved in the first incident (USJ)."
In the end, he just smiled calmly without saying anything.
Shokuhou Misaki could easily control others' minds, but as a qualified hero candidate, her moral bottom line always restrained her.
She would never trample on others' minds and sometimes even fought for others' hearts.
She always believed that the Quirk "Mental Control" should be wielded by those with noble character.
After a series of events, the girl barely unlocked some of the restraints on her power.
Accelerator saw this as her pride.
If he had asked her to use her ability (Quirk) without restraint early on, based on their relationship, Shokuhou Misaki would have smiled and followed him to the depths of hell without hesitation.
Shokuhou Misaki seemed to be that kind of person by nature.
So when Accelerator noticed various signs, he only informed Shokuhou Misaki.
He didn't want to make any choices for her.
Of course, even if someone never admitted it, it was undeniable that he was indeed attracted to this girl.
In the small body of the girl, who was much smaller than him in both strength and size, there was a strong belief of a guardian, calm and firm inside despite the seemingly endless passion on the surface.
Those who understand human nature know that "reality is not so easy."
Therefore, sticking to one's true self is so precious.
As Accelerator believed, there is only one true heroism in the world: to see the truth of reality and still love it, even willing to sacrifice one's life to change various injustices.
And this time, a terrifying monster who didn't admit to being a hero would follow their decision and unleash all the accumulated anger from the forest training camp on those villains.
"I hope they can wail out a lament that satisfies me."
