A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 765 Threesome

"Huh? Little sister? Why do you ask that?" Misaka Mikoto looked at the dormitory supervisor with some surprise.

“When I came here just now, I seemed to hear rumors that there was some commotion in the cafeteria,” the dormitory supervisor explained. “Among the people causing the commotion, there seems to be a girl who looks a lot like you.”

"This... I'll go check right away!" Misaka Mikoto immediately tensed up, unable to stay still any longer. "Nameless-senpai, excuse me—Kuroko, I'll leave this to you!"

"Huh? Me?" Shirai Kuroko was also stunned. She looked at the dormitory supervisor, but the supervisor seemed to have tacitly agreed and did not urge her to do anything else.

She had only taken two steps when Misaka Mikoto turned back and grabbed Shokuhou Misaki: "Shokuhou-san, you can help too... um, please!"

Although it's somewhat unsettling, the fact is that Misaki Shokuhou probably had a greater influence on the Misaka Sisters.

—Moreover…appropriate checks and balances are also necessary. This is clearly our home turf, and there’s no reason to let Shokuhou take the opportunity to sneak away.

Even without using her superpowers, Misaki Shokuhou could see through this little scheme. She didn't resist, but instead casually pulled Toumi the Tiger Bee along, saying, "Junko-nee, please take care of things here. We'll be back in a bit."

"How cunning, Misaki."

You have no right to talk to people like that!

"Tiger Bee, what are you saying too...?"

"I have no interest in it, nor do I care."

"..."

The three of them walked noisily toward the restaurant.

However, perhaps because everyone left "fairly," they quickly calmed down and refocused their attention on what they might face next.

"Well, even if some of the Misaka Sisters did sneak in, it shouldn't be a problem," Misaki Shokuhou said. "The Sisters are all very sensible, and they've had systematic makeup training, so they shouldn't be recognized. So I'm wondering, could it be Dolly and Dolly?"

The ones mistaken for Misaka Mikoto's sister are actually very likely these two "Unit Zero".

Having spent so much time in the environment of Tokiwadai Middle School, Dolly and Dolly might easily become careless and forget to put on makeup.

The students at Tokiwadai Middle School may have long been used to their presence, but for visitors, it is more likely to notice how similar they are to Misaka Mikoto.

Because she had ulterior motives, Misaki Shokuhou did not join Dolly, Dolly, and Kensuke in their actions today.

"I hope so." Misaka Mikoto still didn't dare to relax easily. "Really, there's never a shortage of unexpected situations!"

The thought of performing on stage later made Misaka Mikoto even more nervous.

What I need most right now is to calm down, focus, and adjust my mindset. But all sorts of things keep popping up...

Moreover, even without these recurring incidents, Misaka Mikoto doesn't believe she'd be able to concentrate.

Once she closes her eyes and tries to clear her mind, strange and distracting thoughts keep popping up, which only makes her feel more mentally exhausted.

“Shokuhou, I’m telling you…” At this moment, there was no one else in the corridor, and Misaka Mikoto only had one person to talk to.

As for the tiger bee's honey-penetrating ability—it's not a suitable chat partner.

"What's wrong now?" Misaka Mikoto's unusual initiative in striking up a conversation surprised Shokuhou Misaki. "This morning, before we opened the door, it was that Kumokawa Maria giving us a lecture, just like a head maid."

"So? What do you want to say?"

“It just suddenly occurred to me,” Misaka Mikoto said, “didn’t Kumokawa Maria say that someone she cares about has recently been exposed to magic? Do you think it could be…”

“No, it’s not the nameless senior.” Misaki Shokuhou said without hesitation.

"Huh?" Misaka Mikoto turned her head to look at her. "So, you've found out something else now?"

"Misaka-san, it's just a talent show on stage today. I don't think you need to be this nervous at all," Misaki Shokuhou said helplessly. "This doesn't seem like you at all! And I never expected that I'd be comforting you..."

“…I have been overthinking things lately,” Misaka Mikoto said with a wry smile.

As a Level 5 student and one of Tokiwadai Middle School's two ace students, it's perfectly normal for her to perform on stage as a representative at this kind of open day event.

I believe that no matter which school it is, they would make the same decision in a similar situation.

Misaka Mikoto had no complaints about this. After all, she was a student at Tokiwadai Middle School, and she would naturally have one or two talents to rely on, which was enough to handle most situations.

What truly bothers Misaka Mikoto and makes her unable to let go is that the nameless senior is present today and will be watching her entire performance.

Misaka Mikoto was well aware that she had always been active in front of the nameless senior as a "martial arts fighter," and had even done things like having a passionate duel with the nameless senior.

He usually enjoys reading comics and playing video games, and his personality is somewhat tomboyish.

His hobby is the "Guatai series," which contains somewhat childish content...

Now, suddenly changing into a gorgeous gown and performing high art on stage—wouldn't that be too different from your usual style and seem strange?
As she walked, Misaka Mikoto fell into deep thought. Since this was her daily routine, she didn't have to worry about getting lost even if she cleared her mind. She could find the restaurant simply by relying on her muscle memory.

Misaki Shokuhou and Toumi Tohkachi rarely come to this dormitory area, so they really looked around at the surroundings with great interest, just like tourists.

To be honest, none of the three of them were really worried about the little disturbance in the restaurant.

Although it might involve the Misaka Sisters, a secret that needs to be kept hidden, by now they are already able to handle matters concerning the Misaka Sisters with ease, and they no longer react as if facing a major threat at the slightest disturbance as they did at the beginning...

At worst, we can just have Misaki Shokuhou erase her memories.

"The restaurant is just ahead," Misaka Mikoto said, snapping out of her daze.

The delicious aroma of the food had already spread along the corridor, making one's mouth water.

However, all three of them were students at Tokiwadai Middle School, so they were already used to the high-quality food at their school and didn't think about going in to eat anything.

The focus is on dealing with the events that have occurred here...

"It's so quiet," the tiger bee suddenly remarked.

"Huh? Now that you mention it... that makes sense." Misaka Mikoto paused for a moment, then realized, "Normally it shouldn't be this quiet?"
