Thank you for the invitation. He's in heaven now, he's become God.

"Lightning Spear" is a move by Misaka Mikoto from "A Certain Scientific Railgun". It is a blue-white beam spear formed by a powerful current of one billion volts, which can travel at the speed of light in a straight trajectory.

Even though Miri's attack is far less powerful than Misaka Mikoto's original form, it wouldn't be too difficult for her to temporarily incapacitate someone if she used her full strength.

Clearly, Meili made her move.

Saten Ruiko only got involved to save the two of them, so it would be too despicable of her to just stand by and watch her get beaten.

"Stinky brat!"

Meili's move instantly drew the thugs' hatred away from Saten Ruiko. They turned their weapons around, intending to deal with this reckless girl first before teaching that meddlesome brat a lesson.

As for Meili's attack just now...

With so many superpowered individuals, how could they possibly be no match for such a young girl?

That's right, we really can't beat them!

Although Miri is only a LV2 "Defective Electrician", she has received a complete combat training system through the "Learning Machine".

They might be no match for Accelerator, but these few thugs with superpowers around level 2 are just small fry...

She easily dealt with them using only her not-so-powerful superpowers.

has it ended?

Looking at the thugs lying scattered on the ground around her, Leizi breathed a sigh of relief.

However, because she had been too tense, her legs went weak and she was about to fall to the ground when she suddenly relaxed.

However, the expected pain did not come. Feeling the unexpected soft touch and smelling the sunshine-like fragrance, the girl blinked her eyes in a daze.

"Are you alright, little one?"

The sound suddenly rang in her ears, and she realized that she had been caught in Yahweh's arms just as she was about to fall.

She turned her head stiffly and saw the bespectacled boy whose face was only a few centimeters away from hers.

So close……

The girl blushed instantly.

In fact, even after being sealed away by a divine artifact, Yahweh's appearance remained exceptionally outstanding.

Although it didn't reach the level of social unrest that would have originally been expected, it was still almost unparalleled among ordinary people.

However, Yawei was surrounded by girls with exceptional temperaments, so he didn't show it much.

But Ruiko, she's just an ordinary middle school girl! (Seriously)

Of course, the most important thing is her current condition...

Huh? What's she doing now...?

Miss Ruiko, who was making such an intimate gesture with a boy for the first time, instantly lost her ability to think.

"We already have Misaka and Index, so is my brother planning to make a move on this girl?"

Looking at Saten Ruiko, who was leaning against Yawei without making any movement, Miri suddenly spoke up.

"Misaka was surprised by her brother's desires."

"what……"

Miri's unique, emotionless voice instantly snapped Ruiko out of her daze. She quickly broke free from Yawei's embrace, her fair cheeks turning crimson.

"Feel sorry……"

Faced with the gazes of Yawei and Meili, Saten Ruiko, whose thoughts were in complete disarray, inexplicably uttered words of apology.

"No problem,"

However, in response to the girl's somewhat inexplicable words, Yahweh replied with a completely natural expression.

"However, I should carefully assess my abilities before coming out next time."

"as well as……"

Yawes reached out and patted the girl's head.

"From a purely rational standpoint, you are the one who needs protection more than me and Meili."

Saten Ruiko is an ordinary middle school student without any superpowers. Even just from her appearance, she is the weaker party compared to Yahweh and Miri, and is the one who needs Yahweh's protection.

She actually dared to stand up in that situation...

It must be said that this girl is indeed quite brave.

"Hug...sorry..."

Feeling Yahweh's casual movements, Ruiko didn't sense anything amiss.

While feeling shy, I also inexplicably felt like I was being lectured by an elder, so I said this weakly.

"I just felt it was wrong for those people to bully others, and then..."

This has nothing to do with her...

Even if I went out, there wouldn't be much I could do...

She was still a primary school student just a few days ago...

This is none of her business, is it?

That was what Saten Ruiko originally thought.

After all, with so many thugs around, they looked like troublemakers. What was she thinking, a middle school student, to go out and meddle in other people's business?

However, as it turned out, she was indeed that stubborn.

By the time she realized what was happening, she had already stepped forward.

As for the final outcome...

"But in the end, not only did I not help at all, I also caused trouble for the two of you..."

Tears scratched her head, a somewhat embarrassed smile appearing on her face.

In the end, Yawei and Meili didn't need her help at all. Instead, she was so frightened by these thugs that she couldn't speak, and Meili had to come to her rescue.

Just thinking about what had just happened made Ruizi feel awkward and uncomfortable all over.

I knew she shouldn't have come out; not only was she meddling, but she also...

"It won't cause any trouble..."

Yahweh said this after hearing what Leizi said.

"Objectively speaking, your behavior is indeed commendable."

"Although for you, protecting yourself is the 'right' choice."

"But it is precisely because of people like you that the human race shines so brightly."

"Well... it's not that bad..."

Hearing Yahweh's praise, Saten Ruiko, who had felt embarrassed about what had just happened, suddenly became a little ashamed.

They even elevated it to the level of humanity...

For some reason, Ruizi didn't find Yahweh's words exaggerated; however, she was indeed a little shy and flattered by such praise.

After the matter was resolved, the three strangers should have gone their separate ways.

However, after talking to each other, the three realized that their destinations were both the shopping street, and decided to go there together since they were going the same way.

P.S.: Ruiko is so cute, I like her more and more as I write, I must finish Ruiko's route in this volume.

Chapter 252: Miri: Misaka belongs to my brother!

"Um... my name is Saten Ruiko, a first-year student at Sakugawa Middle School."

Looking at Yawei and Meili beside her, Ruizi gave a brief self-introduction.

"May I ask who you two seniors are...?"

"Yawei, you can just call me that."

"Misaka Miri," Misaka introduced the name given to her by her older brother.

Yahweh?

The name Yahweh evoked a complex mix of emotions in Leizi.

Could this seemingly mature senior be suffering from chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)?

And Misaka Miri, Misaka...

The name also sounds strangely familiar.

"Is Misaka-senpai a psychic?"

Her thoughts raced, but Ruiko showed no reaction. Instead, she looked at Miri with a hint of envy and spoke.

"They took down those guys so easily, that's impressive..."

Superpowers...

Recalling how neatly and efficiently Miri dealt with those thugs, Ruiko's eyes revealed a look of longing.

If she had superpowers, things wouldn't be so awkward, right?

Unfortunately, she is a Level 0 powerless individual, at the very bottom of Academy City.

"Unlike me... I'm just a useless, powerless person..."

Unconsciously, Ruizi vented her negative emotions, and then smiled awkwardly after realizing what she had done.

"Miss Tear, there's no need to be so self-deprecating,"

Yahweh didn't care about this, and instead said this.

"At least in my opinion, Miss Ruiko is more dazzling than most superpowered people."

Even setting aside her past life's impressions, judging solely from an objective perspective, Ruiko is a "human" more deserving of divine attention than most Level 5 espers.

"Eh?"
