A Certain Scientific Bee-eater

In the end, Academy City's strongest psychic capable person [Psychological Mastery] couldn't even redeem his own heart.

"already……"

Enough is enough.

Don't go on talking.

Shokuhou Misaki's body trembled a little.

Just like what the knight uniform said just now, Misaka Mikoto has nothing to do with her, and there is no need to stay with her to face the danger.

The other party's previous annoyed appearance probably just felt that his self-esteem as an lv5 was being despised.

Once Misaka Mikoto rationally recognized the current situation, she might leave her behind.

However, that's fine too.

Although Misaka Mikoto is savage and arrogant, and she often plays with her, she doesn't find it annoying in retrospect... Of course, this doesn't mean she likes her.

However, in contrast, she really did not want to see this person injured or even killed.

So, she can do it alone.

"...It doesn't matter."

However, just when she was ready to face death, a faint voice suddenly came from her ear.

At first, Shokuhou Misaki thought it was an auditory hallucination caused by her weak heart, but then she felt strength from the hand she was holding.

"Because we are friends."

Misaka Mikoto took a deep breath and spoke as a matter of course.

ps: Misaka Mikoto: Because she is my future wife (big fog)

ps2: I'm addicted to tmsk and can't extricate myself from ing, I feel that I have to vent, otherwise I may die in place...

36. Please stop showing your affection

"It has nothing to do with some inexplicable conspiracy theory."

Misaka Mikoto stretched out her finger and pointed to the knight uniform not far away.

"Listen, little rascal. Whether this thought comes from the heart, whether it is caused by an external force from a superpower, whether it is my original intention, or the result of being deceived and manipulated, come to me. It doesn't matter at all."

Immediately after taking a deep breath, he raised the hand that the two of them were holding together as if he had made a decision, and announced loudly,

"I'm standing here just because we're friends, that's all."

"……what……?"

Shokuhou Misaki couldn't help but let out a hoarse questioning voice.

What did the other party just say?

friend.

The words she once disdained, fortunately possessed, and sadly lost are now beyond her reach. This kind of relationship she had never hoped for, was so easily spoken from Misaka Mikoto's mouth.

What's going on, is this some kind of new prank?

"You mean friend?"

For the first time, the tone of the knight uniform is no longer as flat as a machine, but the sarcasm and sneering in it can be heard by anyone.

This is also natural.

'Because it's a friend' and 'the power of friendship' all sound like lines that would only be said by the protagonist of a hot-blooded manga on a bad street.

To be able to say these things that will make the listeners' scalps numb and itchy all over without changing his face or feeling ashamed...

Could it be that Misaka Mikoto is a so-called natural type?Or maybe it's just a middle-of-the-road disease from reading too many comics?

No matter what the answer is, even the enemy couldn't help but be a little stunned, not to mention her of course.

However, thanks to Misaka Mikoto's remarks, she was sobered up from the state where she had just been mired in negative emotions.

If this is the other party's goal, then she really wants to look up to Misaka Mikoto and express her gratitude, but it turns out that the other party really has no such IQ at all.

"Yes."

Facing the enemy's rhetorical question, Misaka Mikoto nodded without pretense, and then suddenly fell into memory mode on her own.

"Indeed, it was just because of some trivial matter that she arbitrarily used the dangerous ability of 'memory erasure' to unfamiliar people. I just thought she was a spoiled arrogant eldest lady."

——It was said that it was not a 'trivial matter' at all. How could it be a trivial matter for a lady to be seen by a stranger!

"But then I found out that she just thought it was possible, so she helped me keep the pendant that I accidentally lost. Obviously we didn't know each other at that time. At that time, I thought that this person was actually a good person."

- No, it's just that you don't know me.And the ornament said to be well preserved, but in fact it should be 'forgot to throw it away'.The words 'Is it impossible' are superfluous at all!

"However, in the next few meetings, I found that she was completely self-conscious, charming and self-willed, and had a bad personality. She was obviously not good at sports, but she insisted on being stubborn and ended up suffering from heatstroke. It would really cause trouble for people..."

--Hey!

"I thought she was probably that bad person who would use her powers to satisfy her desires, until recently,"

Misaka Mikoto spoke earnestly,

"Faced with the possible dangers lurking around her, not only did she fail to control others to take risks for herself, but she also rejected Fanfeng, who offered to help, and faced it alone."

"Sure enough, a stubborn idiot."

Then she turned her head to look at Shokuhou Misaki next to her, and before she couldn't help but 'attack', she continued,

"But ah, 'I don't want to involve innocent people in danger', should she think so? She obviously has that kind of convenient ability, but it is only used for trivial matters."

"So I think, she probably... no, she must have her own justice and beliefs. I think... no, I believe in the ability of [psychological mastery], and there will be no more suitable person than her."

Misaka Mikoto looked back at the knight uniform not far away,

"Then I'll definitely be able to get along well with her."

"And we've both been to each other's rooms,"

- No, that's just because I want to return the ornaments to you.

"We also went to the dessert shop to eat desserts,"

——That was a complete accident, I didn’t expect you to be there at all.

"Afterwards, we will go shopping together."

——It was only because he was cut off from the retreat that he had to be brave!By the way, you were clearly chatting with Fanfeng at that time!

"Although I don't know exactly how to define a friend, I think this should be considered a friend, right?"

Misaka Mikoto tilted her head, making such a confident declaration.

No, absolutely wrong, terribly wrong!

Are the friends in your mind just going to the dessert shop together, shopping together, and going to each other's rooms?

I can't believe how sad the previous life was. Is this kind of simple force really a middle school student?

And she actually said that she has excess self-awareness, bad personality, etc... Who do you think she is!

She would have been pissed off in normal times, but now,

……So happy.

Of course, it wasn't because he was mercilessly scolded by the other party that he felt happy.

- 'I believe in the ability of [mental mastery], there will be no more suitable person than her. '

She was happy because of those words.

Maybe it's not very accurate to describe it as 'happy', like 'the class waited until after school to take care of the green plants alone, and suddenly one day the class teacher who passed by saw the result and was praised seriously'.

A complex emotion of being recognized, understood, and relieved.

Ahhh.

Yes, she was no stranger to this feeling.

It was Dori, who had a lot to do with Misaka Mikoto, who gave her this feeling a few months ago.

However, it is slightly different.

Dolly doesn't care about her abilities, she doesn't fear or hate her, she treats her as an ordinary person completely.

Misaka Mikoto will use her own concept of right and wrong to think about her practices and behaviors and the use of abilities. Misaka Mikoto does not ignore [mental mastery], but treats her and [mental mastery] as a whole.

Despite this, in the end both of them accepted her.

Shokuhou Misaki doesn't like her abilities very much. She has always had doubts, fears, low self-esteem, and even the fear of "everything is false" in her heart.

It was Dolly who made her realize this, and it was Dolly who could heal her.

However, all of this fell short due to the death of the other party. She was severely hit and sealed those negative emotions in the depths of her heart for self-protection. Until today, she was completely released by the 'dead knot', which knocked her down almost instantly.

Fortunately, Misaka Mikoto was there.

It's just because the other party is Misaka Mikoto, not anyone else.

Said they were friends, said she was worthy of [mental mastery], said she had her own perseverance and justice.

After all, it wasn't such a gentle word, but it did indeed bring salvation to her who was in a desperate situation.

Sure enough, Dolly and Misaka Mikoto are very similar.

However, these are two different people.Maybe at first she did unconsciously want to find Dolly's 'shadow' on Misaka Mikoto, but not now.

Because it has become an existence that is equally important to her.

Shokuhou Misaki couldn't help but press his chest with his other hand.Because if she didn't, her heart would probably be beating out.

He is clearly the strongest in manipulating people's hearts, but at this moment he is completely unable to control his heartbeat.

The intense emotion gushing out of his chest rushed straight to his cheeks and spread all over his body. What was it?Why in the end?

The brown-haired girl around her, who was the same age as her, heard from the palms of their tightly clasped hands that she could summon the courage to face her heart.

In this world that Shokuhou believes to be false, this is the only one that is very real.
