Toaru Kagaku no Railgun Manga Chapter 134

Spread (延焼) is the 134th chapter of the Toaru Kagaku no Railgun manga series, released on August 27th 2021 in Monthly Comic Dengeki Daioh.

Synopsis
Before Misaka Mikoto could confront the two members of the Mikagami Clique for attacking Kiyoshi. Ruri arrives to defuse the situation, clarifying that Kiyoshi is unrelated to the initial conflict and that no harm has been dealt to Kiyoshi at the moment. Elsewhere, Ruri and Kiyoshi reveals an unwritten rule preventing anyone that does not belong to a clique from intervening in an issue involving cliques. However, Mikoto shows no point in abandoning a friend even in the presence of such rules. The two then talk about Mikoto's free-spirited demeanor and Ruri reminds Kiyoshi that she has to help Mikoto when the need arises.

Lily once more reports to Sha Danshan about the escalating of tensions between the Hasekura and Mikagami Cliques and explains that the related cases all involve inconsistencies in the testimonies from both sides. Lily then concludes that Shokuhou Misaki might be the mastermind, but Sha does not find a motive or a reason for Misaki to make herself an enemy of the cliques of Tokiwadai. Still not convinced, Lily prepares to visit Misaki personally.

As Mikagami Nagisa becomes worried about the current state of affairs to the point of preparing an apology to the other party, the members of the Hasekura Clique mull over what is to be done after their clique leader's recommendation to stay together and avoid conflict. But one of the clique members, Yasutoba Suika, tries to convince her fellow members that their leader is not a fighter and is certain that the members who can fight within the Hasekura Clique can easily take down the Mikagami Clique.
