A Certain Scientific Bee-eater

"Also, how long will you hold your hand? Now that you are awake, let go quickly. I don't want to be misunderstood by others that I have a good relationship with you."

...!

"W-what? Isn't it Misaka-san who grabbed it on your own accord!"

Shokuhou Caoqi immediately withdrew his hand with a flushed face, and put it on the quilt in front of him and wiped it vigorously, as if there was something unclean on it.

"You're a complete slap in the face! It was clearly that you held on to yourself before you fainted, and then you held on tight and refused to let go, so I couldn't leave, so I can only be here with you..."

Misaka Mikoto was only halfway through her words, but her face suddenly changed, she stood up suddenly, slightly bowed her waist and covered her lower abdomen with her hands.

"No, I won't tell you, I, I, I'm going to—"

Then he rushed out of the ward at a speed like a [-]-meter sprint.

ps: Hookaze Junko: Hey, was that Misaka-san just now?What are you going to do in such a hurry...?

24. Don’t expect Tsundere to tell the truth

"Master Bee-eater, it's great, you finally woke up..."

As soon as Misaka Mikoto left, Hobaze Junko pushed open the door of the ward and walked in. Seeing Shokuhou Misaki sitting up on the hospital bed, a surprised expression appeared on her face.

"Sailwind...?"

Why did you come here... Shokuhou Misaka wanted to ask this question, but she knew that Misaka Mikoto must have told her.

After all, Junko Hobaze is a common acquaintance of her and Misaka Mikoto, and she and Junko Hobaze live in the same dormitory area.After sending her unconscious self to the hospital, the only person Misaka Mikoto could think of to notify, apart from the teacher, was Junko Hookaze.

When Shokuhou was distracted, Junko Hoikaze said as if she was finally relieved.

"Master Bee-eater, the doctor said you have a slight concussion, please lie down and rest."

Then he walked over quickly and raised the head of the bed a little bit, and before she could respond, he held her shoulders and made her lie back.

Concussion... ah, that's why she lost consciousness at that time.

and,

Shokuhou Caoqi touched her head with her hand, and her forehead was wrapped in several circles of bandages. No wonder her head felt heavy when she sat up just now.

"Ah, please don't worry, the doctor said there will be no scars."

Fanfeng Junko, who was probably misunderstood, hurriedly spoke, and then asked with concern,

"Does Shokuhou-sama feel thirsty?"

"Huh? Ah, I'm really thirsty after saying that..."

After all, looking at the sky outside the window is approaching dusk, which means that she has been in a coma for at least five or six hours.

Wait, that is to say, during these five or six hours, has that Misaka Mikoto been by the hospital bed with her?

Although the other party said that she was forced to stay because she was in a coma and held the other party's hand tightly.

But thinking about it carefully, wouldn't it be easy to break her hands apart with Misaka Mikoto's brute force?

Are you afraid of hurting her?Or is it really just an excuse to hide "I'm worried about myself"...?

No no no, how is this possible.

Although they don't know why they didn't make an appointment this summer, but they seem to be able to meet outside often, but both of them must know in their hearts that they can't be friends with each other.

This is not only because of the mutual restraint of abilities, but more importantly, the characters of the two people are too different.

In addition, the self-esteem of being lv5 does not allow them to bow their heads to each other, which completely eliminates the possibility of two people getting closer.

After all, in getting along between people, there must be one party that takes the lead in moving towards each other before it can begin.

"Please use it, Shokuhou-sama."

Hoofe Junko put the iced lemon juice that she didn't know where it came from into a straw and handed it to Shokuhou Masaki's mouth.

Although she wanted to say that she only had a slight concussion, but it wasn't that she couldn't move, so she didn't need to take care of her so much.

But after all, it was a piece of the other party's heart, Shokuhou Caoqi still had a grateful heart, tilted his head slightly and opened his mouth to cover the straw.

With a little force, the icy, sour and sweet taste suddenly burst into her mouth, making her, who was still a little groggy, wake up.

After taking another sip, she was finally satisfied, she let go of the straw in her mouth, and shook her head slightly at Junko Honoka, who was looking at her to ask her eyes. The other party then clearly put the lemon juice on the table next to her. , and then took out a handkerchief to help her wipe the corners of her mouth.

"Thank you……"

Some people are not used to enjoying the considerate service of the other party, Shokuhou Caoqi made a small joke in order to divert his attention,

"I didn't expect Fanfeng to take care of people so well, I really want you to be my maid☆~"

"It's my honor to be Shokuhou-sama's maid."

Unexpectedly, the other party opened his mouth seriously as if he was serious, and then said with a somewhat annoyed and eager expression,

"Please let me follow you, Shokuhou-sama, I don't want to see you hurt again..."

"You heard from Misaka Mikoto?"

Shokuhou Misaki restrained his smile.

After all, it was something like being attacked, so normal people shouldn't leak it at will, but she forgot that Misaka Mikoto wasn't a normal person at all, or maybe the other party misunderstood that she and Junko Honoka had a very close relationship?

Really, try to make trouble for her.

"Yes, Misaka-san said that you were only injured when you were attacked by a strangely dressed boy."

Fanfeng Junko nodded, and then said,

"So please let me be with Shokuhou-sama—"

"The other party's purpose is to destroy lv5. Even I was injured. Do you think you have the ability to protect me?"

Shokuhou Caoqi interrupted the other party's words coldly, and a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

She knows the ability of Junko Fanfeng.

Lv4 powerful person, [in heavenly clothes].

Its essence is to manipulate the electrical signals of the body cells, which can greatly strengthen one's physical fitness, including the five senses. In terms of combat effectiveness alone, it can be regarded as the top group of lv4 powerful people.

Indeed, if Junko Fanfeng had been present when she was attacked in the morning, the outcome would have been very different.

After all, the enemy's equipment is completely targeted and specialized in order to eliminate her, and relying on Junko Fanfeng's [heavenly clothes], she will definitely be able to easily escape or even counterattack.

However, this is only an optimistic consideration.

Since the enemy promised to want 'lv5', and also took out something that could almost kill him, it means that there must be people behind them who support them.

One more person means one more variable.

Without knowing the details of the other party, rashly involving irrelevant people may only increase casualties and make the situation worse.

That's right, that's why she refused coldly because she was worried that she would implicate the danger on others.

These considerations are all for her own sake.

Yes, it is like that.

Shokuhou Caoqi secretly used this reason to convince himself.

At this moment, Junko Hoafeng, who was speechless and pale because of her sarcastic remarks just now, spoke as if she had made up her mind.

"...At least I can help the Bee-eater-sama hold the other party for a while. As long as the bee-eater-sama needs, he can order me at any time, even if he sacrifices his life-"

"Are you an idiot! Did your IQ become assimilated after you befriended Misaka Mikoto?"

However, before the other party finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shokuhou Cao Qi loudly.

She was very angry at Junko Hookaze saying 'sacrifice life force' at will, not to mention that the other party also mentioned 'order'...

What are you doing?

Is this underestimating her?Or a mockery of her ability?

[Psychological mastery] It was not necessary for her, and if it was even possible, she hoped that it would be better for her not to develop her abilities in the first place, but unfortunately things are a foregone conclusion, and the past cannot be changed.

She doesn't like her ability, but she claims to be the only person in the world with enough moral power to properly handle it.

However, Junko Fanfeng said that she should order herself not to take into account her vitality.

Isn't this questioning her moral power?

Although Shokuhou Caoqi doesn't consider himself a bad person, he is definitely not a villain who despises the vitality of other people.

"Huh? Shi, Shokuhou-sama...?"

Hobaze Junko, who was startled by the angry Shokuhou Misaki, couldn't help trembling, and looked at her a little blankly and cautiously.

"You said that I once saved your body and mind? But what you said just now didn't take your own vitality seriously. Is this a waste of my good intentions?"

Shokuhou Misaki, who had calmed down, spoke in such a way that he avoided the important.

After all, she would definitely not tell others about the thoughts that were hidden in her heart just now.

"I……"

Fanfeng Junzi hurriedly wanted to deny it, but,

"Listen, even if you interfere in this matter, it will only distract me and increase the danger. Thank you for coming to the hospital to see me, but I'm fine, please come back."

It was interrupted by her indifferent voice.

ps: Misaka Mikoto: (pushing in the door) I've heard everything, it seems to be very interesting... Dangerous look, let me also come to participate... Help...

25. Once raw and twice cooked

The atmosphere was stagnant for a while.

Fanfeng Junko, who was beside the hospital bed, trembled, his face was pale, and he stood there silently. After Shokuhou Caoqi finished saying those words, he lay back on the bed and half closed his eyes.

"Hey, isn't that too much for you to say?"

At this moment, along with a familiar voice, Misaka Mikoto pushed open the door and walked in, frowning and opening her mouth,

"Fanfeng-san is clearly worried about you—"

"Ah, Misaka-san, you left in such a hurry just now, I thought you had already left, why did you come back? Are you planning to ask me to pay the medical bills?"
