A Certain Scientific Bee-eater

No matter what, she couldn't take three unconscious people at the same time, but if one of them was left here, that person would become food in the belly of the rats when she left.

In the end how to do?

Misaka Mikoto stood there at a loss.

"……what……"

Shokuhou Misaki's breathing gradually increased from his back. Although less than 10 minutes had passed, Misaka Mikoto could clearly feel the pain the other party was suffering.

If there is no way to get timely treatment, she really can't imagine what will happen to her weak physique with the bee-eater exercise.

Shokuhou is her... best friend.

Although I don't want to admit it, I've only met this summer vacation less than three months ago. She has a strange oral fetish and a princess disease. She has a bad personality and is selfish and willful, but like her, she won't turn a blind eye to those who need help, a petite girl. It has quietly occupied a considerable place in her heart.

Misaka Mikoto couldn't imagine losing her opponent, let alone hurting her to this point because of herself.

In contrast, Captain and Yaowan met her for the first time today, and the other party was her enemy not long ago, who kidnapped Miyant Ayu, and was a complete criminal.

Can't you see which is more important at a glance?

——Give up those two people, Shokuhou can’t wait that long.

There seemed to be such a voice in my ear, but,

"What a joke, who do you think I am!!!"

For Misaka Mikoto, there was nothing to choose from from the start.

Electricity poured out of her body, illuminating the dark flood control channel into daylight.

ps: Naru: Huh?I thought I heard something from the ground just now...?

ps1: An Dao has been taken off the shelves, Gan (I hope that the men who report the report will become men and women will become women)

65. Licking palms

How long has it been?

I just remembered that my consciousness was blurred several times on the way, just like the flickering fluorescent lights finally settled down, I don't know when, at a certain moment, Shokuhou Caoqi suddenly regained consciousness.

"Well……"

His body was sticky, and his underwear was soaked with sweat as if he had just run 1000 meters. His unruly hair was clinging to his neck and behind his ears, his lips were dry, and his throat seemed to be on fire.

Very uncomfortable, very uncomfortable.

Shokuhou Cao Qi struggled to support his weak body and sat up from the bed, only to realize that he was in a single ward in the hospital.

There was no one else in the ward, and the night sky lit by street lamps could be seen outside through a window on one side.

(I was in a coma for a few hours? Or a day and a night?)

Shokuhou Caoqi patted his still aching head, and the memory before the coma gradually revived in his mind.

- 'LSS', 'Server Room', 'Trap'...

"Right! Misaka-san! How is Misaka-san?!"

They encountered a trap when they invaded the server room at the LSS headquarters... It may not be accurate to use 'trap', it should be some kind of security measure that the enemy has set up in the first place.

It may be some kind of virus, or a new breed of bacteria specially bred, in short, some microorganisms invisible to the naked eye. As the weakest of several people, she was the first to be recruited, and almost captured her in less than a minute. consciousness.

Because the infection route of the biochemical weapon is not clear, it is entirely possible for others to be recruited like her.

Although since she is in the hospital now, it means that they should have escaped successfully and been saved, but if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Shokuhou Misaki always felt uneasy in her heart.

After all, she knew how messy Misaka Mikoto was and liked to force herself, even though the other party didn't notice it.

(Is it placed in another ward?)

Thinking like this, Shokuhou Caoqi couldn't calm down. She lifted the quilt and tried to get out of bed, but the strength that was taken away hadn't recovered yet.

"Uh-"

Fortunately, the hospital bed was big enough for her size, otherwise the Queen of Tokiwadai, Shokuhou Misaki, would have flipped out of bed and fell into a 'dog gnawing mud'.

At this moment, the sound of the door opening came from outside. Before Shokuhou Caoqi could turn his head to see who it was, he heard rapid footsteps, and then,

"Are you awake, Shokuhou!?"

In the next instant, a voice that sounded somewhat surprising, reassuring and familiar to her came.

"Misaka-san, you're all right—"

Shokuhou Misaki, who fell on the bed, sat up with the help of Misaka Mikoto, and was talking with some peace of mind when the other party interrupted her words.

"It's great that you're okay..."

Misaka Mikoto was like a husband who was waiting for his wife outside the delivery room to finally get the news of "mother and child are safe", and said with a long sigh of relief,

"The doctor said that it is a subspecies of the microorganism Di003S, and it is estimated that it is a stun weapon modified from malaria, which will cause a high fever close to 40 degrees, aversion to cold and a sense of collapse, but fortunately it is very afraid of heat, and the high fever it produces will cause kill yourself."

"But even so, if the patient can't insist that all the protozoa that invaded the body die, it is not a stun but a biochemical weapon that kills you. You almost walked through the gate of hell."

"...Are you saying that I am weak?"

Shokuhou Misaki opened his mouth with some dissatisfaction.

"Although that's true, that's not what I want to say..."

Misaka Mikoto took a deep breath, grabbed Shokuhou Misaki's hand, lowered her head and said apologetically,

"I'm sorry, Shokuhou, it's all because I involved you in a dangerous situation without authorization. I thought I could protect the people around me, but I almost put your life in danger. Leave the rest to me. You're just resting in the hospital, huh-?"

Shokuhou Caoqi frowned and covered the opponent's mouth with his hand. A soft and moist touch was fleeting in the palm of his hand, making her feel like an electric shock, but now is not the time to care about this kind of thing. .

"Misaka-san, I'm very angry right now."

"Woooooooooooo (Didn't I just apologize)..."

"You know why I'm angry?"

Shokuhou Caoqi looked at the other person's confused eyes, and couldn't help but put down his hands and looked out the window angrily.

"Do you think I'll hold you back?"

"Eh--"

"If you have me by your side, you should not only pay attention to the whereabouts of the enemy, but also devote your energy to protecting me, do you think so?"

"No, so I'm afraid you're in danger—"

"Don't underestimate me too much, Misaka-san, don't forget that they are lv5 superpowers just like you."

Shokuhou Misaki turned his head and looked into Misaka Mikoto's eyes,

"Besides, do you really think that I was forced to follow you around because I was involved with you?"

"I--"

"Two nights ago, we were attacked by flying dragons together. We have experienced things about Mi Ant classmates together from the beginning. It is true that people don't need to risk their lives for ordinary classmates who are not familiar with it, but things have come At this point, do you think I'll just sit back and watch while others are in danger?"

Shokuhou said with a light snort,

"Besides, Chimera is also a biological weapon. LSS really annoys me. Even if it's not for saving people, people will settle accounts with him!"

"..."

Misaka Mikoto stared at Shokuhou and couldn't help laughing.

"Hey, what are you laughing at?"

Shokuhou Misaki, whose cheeks were warmed by the unshakable gaze of the other party, sneered in embarrassment.

"No, I just think that I already know you very well, but I didn't expect it to be just the tip of the iceberg."

Misaka Mikoto stood up and took out a bottle of strawberry milk from the bag on the table next to her, handed it to her, and said with a smile,

"Here. I know, then let's go and rescue Miyant classmates together, and teach LSS a lesson!"

"Ah, ah, there are still many attractive places. If Misaka-san wants to understand everything, you need to watch me more and more~"

Shokuhou Misaki lowered his head and blushed slightly, while covering the straw with his mouth, he took a sip.

The dry throat was finally moistened, and the sweetness passed to the heart along the taste buds.

At this time, there was a sound of the door opening, and then,

"Misaka-san—Queen?! Are you awake? Great! Are you feeling sick? Are you hungry? Do you want to drink water? I'll tell the other kids in the clique that you're awake—"

"Stop, stop, okay, Fanfeng, I'm fine, I've made you worry, but why...?"

Shokuhou Misaka looked suspiciously at Misaka Mikoto beside her.

"It wasn't me, I ran into them when I took you out of the flood control channel, and they brought us to the hospital."

Misaka Mikoto shook her head.

——With all her companions unconscious, Misaka Mikoto used her ability to temporarily create a safe 'vacuum zone' under the swarm of rats, and then she and Naru of the mercenary squad who stayed on the ground transported Shokuhou and the others. When they got to the ground, they ran into Junko Fanfeng who had arrived at an unknown time.

It is said to be so.

"Fanfeng, are you following us?"

Shokuhou Caoqi frowned slightly.

"No, no! It's just a coincidence! At that time, I was talking with my parents at a nearby company, and I saw the Queen and Misaka-san by chance through the window. I thought that I might be able to help, and rushed over... I said. It's true, Queen!"

Fanfeng Junzi explained with a worried look.

Although she wondered if this might be too coincidental, Shokuhou Caoqi also knew that the other party would never lie to her, so she reluctantly accepted the fact, she sighed, and immediately said in doubt,

"I trust you, Fanfeng. By the way, did you come in just now for something important?"

"Ah, that's it, I have received news from the faction members who went to investigate the three research institutes that Misaka-san gave me."

Fanfeng Junko replied quickly as if he was relieved.

"Misaka-san?"

Shokuhou Misaki turned to look at Misaka Mikoto with a bit of resentment.
