Academy City's Puppet Master

Stiyl was on duty to watch over Index tonight, so Kanzaki decided to rest first.

Of course, you still need to be vigilant—the enemies who hurt Xingye are likely to come to you.

When the time comes... just treat it as rent, and I will help you deal with the enemies.

Kanzaki reiterated his decision once again from the bottom of his heart.

Ling Xingye lived in a one-person apartment, so there was only one single bed in the room, and it was theoretically impossible to accommodate a second person—— Kamijou Touma next door had to spend the night in order to accommodate Index. Inside the bathtub - because the indoor space is limited, there is not even room for a sofa.

Kanzaki Kaori didn't care about these things, and sat on the floor leaning against the wall very rigidly, holding the Qitian Qidao across his arms and closing his eyes to sleep.

In contrast, the dormitory of Tokiwadai Middle School is much more spacious, even for two people, it is more than enough, and there is no sense of crowdedness.

Because they don't have many students, they are all veritable daughters, so they are more fair than most schools.

For example, in the long-term Computer Science Park, dormitories are allocated to a certain extent according to the students' ability level and academic performance.

Hitomi Shiranui is a level 4 capable person with excellent character and learning, so she owns a luxurious independent apartment.

Back to Tokiwadai Middle School, in principle, students of the same grade are assigned to a dormitory, but there are always some exceptions due to the number of people.

For example, Misaka Mikoto's roommate is Shirai Kuroko, a first-year school girl a year younger than her—a pervert with sexual orientation problems.

Shirai Kuroko adores "Sister" Misaka Mikoto very much, and her fanaticism even reaches the point where it can almost be said to be pathological.After all, it's definitely not for normal people to think of ways to give love potions to Misaka Mikoto who is the same sex all day long, right?

Although she is a pervert, Shirai Kuroko is still a kind and responsible girl in essence—in terms of things that do not involve Misaka Mikoto.

Needless to say about appearance, although she is not yet fully developed, she can be regarded as a beautiful girl.His academic performance is also quite good—otherwise, he would not have been able to enter Tokiwadai Middle School; of course, not to mention his ability, level 4 has a great ability of "space movement", and he is the most capable person besides the two level 5 superpowers.

Moreover, he is also a member of the [-]th Branch of the Disciplinary Committee.

Again, except when facing Misaka Mikoto, Shirai Kuroko is pretty much perfect.

That's why Misaka Mikoto agreed to endure her harassment and live in a dormitory with her.

More importantly, Shirai Heizi's ability can help him avoid the restrictions of dormitory access control.

This has provided great convenience for Misaka Mikoto, who has recently started to like to travel late at night.

Heizi Shirai also took me back to the dormitory today... Would you like to buy her some presents as a thank you?

Misaka Mikoto lay on the bed thinking: By the way, what does Heizi like?No, no, it should be said that as long as I give it to her, she will keep it well no matter what it is, right?Ha ha, that's why I don't want to give her a gift!Heizi this guy!

But let’s get ready, I’ve been bothering her to pick me up lately, and I may have to trouble her often in the future.Misaka Mikoto turned to look at the junior on the other bed.

"When she's asleep, she's a pretty pretty girl. It would be great if she's quiet like this at ordinary times." Sighing helplessly, Misaka Mikoto covered herself in the quilt, and then took out her phone.

Although it is very late, I still send an email to ask him, I always feel that that guy has something to hide from me.

Recalling the feeling when she was with Ling Xingye today, Misaka Mikoto could clearly feel a sense of pressure and tension.

Although Ling Xingye himself tried his best to behave normally, in the eyes of Misaka Mikoto, who could feel the bioelectric field, that boy was always in a sense of abnormal excitement and tension.

It's like an athlete who is about to participate in a big competition or... a soldier who is about to go to the battlefield.

This made Misaka Mikoto very concerned, and judging from the fact that he always insisted on sending himself to the dormitory before leaving, it was almost certain that some kind of crisis was imminent!

That's why Misaka Mikoto kept tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

"It was the same a few days ago, the atmosphere of fighting was lingering all over her body, like a sharp sword ready to be unsheathed at any time." Misaka Mikoto muttered, "Really, even with a top combat power like me, I don't know how to use it..."

Because I don't know if the battle over Ling Xingye is over, and I don't want to wake up the sleeping Heizi, so Misaka Mikoto decided to send an email to ask.

"Good night, Xingye, what happened after we parted today? Are you okay? I'm sorry to bother you, but please reply in time if you can...Misaka Mikoto~" I read the email I edited from the beginning, Misaka Mikoto frowned slightly, "Is it a little too frivolous? And if nothing happened, will it disturb his rest? But if you are a high school student, you should go to bed early..."

So troublesome, what the hell am I worrying about!

Feeling a burst of impatience, Misaka Mikoto gritted her teeth and hit the send button.

Then she started staring at the phone screen in a daze.

Then I don't know when I fell asleep...

In Ling Xingye's room, Kanzaki also closed his eyes and seemed to be asleep.But it was clear from the hand on the handle that she wasn't really asleep.Just close your eyes and rest.

Tick... The sound of the second hand beating is clearly audible, and the quiet and serene atmosphere in the room is suddenly tense, as if some kind of event is about to break this beautiful tranquility—— Kanzaki's instinct as a swordsman has brought her a second earlier A warning was issued.

The slender jade fingers suddenly clenched the handle of the knife. Although the posture of kneeling was still maintained, the muscles of the whole body had quietly tensed up, entering a ready-to-fight state where he could draw the knife and slash at any time.

A second later, there was a low vibration first, and then a regular and old-fashioned electric bell.

Jingle jingle jingle!

===Chapter 34 Misaka Mikoto's worries===

The phone rang suddenly with a vibration.

In a quiet environment, these sounds are extraordinarily harsh, and can completely scare people.

"The phone is ringing?" Kanzaki slightly relaxed his right hand holding the handle of the knife, opened his eyes and followed the sound.

It was Ling Xingye's cell phone. When Shenzhe was treating his wound earlier, Shenzhe put the cell phone on the table.

At this moment, the mobile phone was making a fuss, and it was still moving on the table due to the vibration, and it was about to fall to the ground.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Kanzaki hurried forward to catch it.

Then the phone still kept ringing, vibrating continuously in Kanzaki's hands.
