A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 783 Let's go see the fireworks!

Misaka Mikoto was in high spirits, ready to press her advantage and completely reverse her disadvantage.

From Misaki Shokuhou's perspective, it was a completely different story—the nameless senior had an almost maxed-out level of affection for Misaka Mikoto. In comparison, the secrets she possessed were practically her only remaining advantage, so how could she possibly give them up so easily?

Misaka Shokuhou also stood up and said, "I'll let it go for what happened today, but don't get too cocky, Misaka!"

"Wh...what do you mean by sneaking out..." Misaka Mikoto slightly shifted her gaze, but immediately glared back defiantly.

The other girls in the room were somewhat surprised, but they were used to this scene.

After all, the news had already spread throughout Tokiwadai Middle School that two Level 5 adults were "fighting over a man."

The argument today was just particularly intense.

"Your Majesty..." Junko Hokkaido quickly stood up to comfort her. She really hoped that the two Level 5s could get along well and become good friends.

On the other side, Shirai Kuroko couldn't stand it any longer: "Nameless-senpai, you too..."

The core of the problem is Lin Wuming, who has remained silent since the beginning.

But the one who tied the knot must untie it. If there's anyone else who can immediately calm these two somewhat emotional Level 5s down, it's probably only Lin Wuming.

Shirai Kuroko turned her head and saw that Hufeng Toumi was standing behind Lin Wuming as always, and had his hands naturally placed on his shoulders.

"..." Shirai Kuroko was speechless. She had almost forgotten about this one—Tiger Bee-senpai. Although she didn't have a high profile, she definitely held an unshakeable position.

—Now it seems that if the nameless senior were to personally step forward, it's unclear whether he would be able to appease everyone or further escalate the conflict.

Just then, the sliding door to the balcony was opened, and Saten Ruiko and Uiharu Kazari, who had just gone out for a meeting, returned inside.

"Nameless senior, Shokuhou-kun, we've made a decision..." As soon as she entered, Saten Ruiko excitedly raised her hand and shouted.

Then I realized that the atmosphere in the room was a bit strange.

However, thanks to their interruption, Misaki Shokuhou and Misaka Mikoto tacitly ended their argument and went quiet.

It was only then that Saten Ruiko and Uiharu Kazari realized what had happened—they had been drawn into trouble on another level.

Unlike the "major events" in which the two of them were prepared to participate, they could not get involved in the current "special events" under any circumstances.

They could only be spectators, complete "outsiders".

However, this wasn't the first time such a scene had occurred, so both Misaka Mikoto and Shokuhou Misaki, as the parties involved, quickly adjusted their mindset and soon acted as if nothing had happened, restoring the atmosphere to how it was a few minutes ago.

"Ahem!" Misaki Shokuhou coughed lightly and said, "Since Saten and Uiharu have decided to get involved, let me give you a brief overview of the current situation. Please be prepared and keep it a secret—after all, this time we're facing that old fox, Kihara Gensei!"

Next, Misaki Shokuhou, Lin Wuming, and Misaka Mikoto took turns explaining, finally giving the two newcomers, as well as Shirai Kuroko who also didn't quite understand the reason behind the matter, a general overview of the situation.

Next, we will summarize and analyze the information about the multiple "Kihara" encountered at the "Summer Festival" today.

However, at this stage, it was actually just Lin Wuming and Hufeng Toumi communicating. Due to limited information, even Misaka Mikoto mostly listened and rarely offered her opinions.

As for Saten Ruiko and Uiharu Kazari, they wisely refrained from delving deeper into the matter.

Since they couldn't understand anyway, they simply pulled Shirai Kuroko along, and the three of them huddled in a corner, trying to find out what had happened in the living room. "...It's really just curiosity," Saten Ruiko said enthusiastically, "Look, Haru and I have joined in, and we're just like you, Shirai, we're 'outsiders,' we're all comrades! So let's share some information!"

“It’s information sharing again…” Shirai Kuroko couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “And… what ‘outsider’? Seriously.”

However, she still briefly explained what had just happened.

“I see…” Saten Ruiko stroked her chin, lost in thought. “No wonder the atmosphere was so strange. But this can’t go on.”

Saten Ruiko felt that she had finally made the decision to join the "nameless force," and if emotional entanglements led to the organization's disintegration...

Saten Ruiko absolutely will not allow this to happen!
"We need to do something."

Shirai Kuroko, standing nearby, looked over warily: "Don't do anything unnecessary, Saten-kun!"

"Don't worry, it's not an unnecessary thing." Saten Ruiko seemed to have made up her mind and immediately took out her phone to search.

"This is it!"

Saten Ruiko's cheers attracted Lin Wuming and the others' attention.

"Nameless senior! There's a fireworks display tomorrow night, let's go have some fun!" Saten Ruiko showed everyone the content on her phone screen.

There are several fireworks displays every summer, and now that summer vacation is coming to an end, this must be the last fireworks display of the summer.

Saten Ruiko's idea was simple: since the atmosphere was not right and the relationship was tense, she should find a way to resolve the conflict.

Going out together is a great way to change your mood.

Besides, aren't fireworks displays the most classic scenes in romance dramas?

Even among Saten Ruiko's classmates, there are cases of people choosing to confess their feelings at the fireworks festival.

When the time comes, as long as everyone disperses reasonably, giving them space to be alone and an opportunity to confess their feelings...

—Huh? Who is this nameless senior?
The male lead is confirmed, but what about the female lead?

Saten Ruiko immediately realized that she had made a fundamental mistake.

The problem we face right now has never been how to confess our feelings, but rather "to whom to confess to".

"You're just doing something unnecessary!" Shirai Kuroko said helplessly.

"A fireworks display? Isn't that great?" Misaki Shokuhou said. "Let's go, Nameless-senpai!"

"Huh? You agreed?" Saten Ruiko asked, somewhat surprised.

“Of course.” Misaki Shokuhou nodded. “Why refuse? Doing serious business and watching the fireworks festival don’t conflict. Come to think of it, summer vacation is almost over. If you look back on this summer and all you’ve done is fight for no reason and be hospitalized—wouldn’t that be too pathetic?”

“That…that makes sense,” Lin Wuming agreed.

So, the only thing decided in tonight's "meeting" was "to go to the fireworks festival together tomorrow".
