Living your daily life in a shonen anime seems to be wrong.

He blinked, looking at the slightly blushing girl.

"Little Silk Guardian, I have a question for you."

"Hi."

Why do you always change into your swimsuit every time we invite you to the swimming pool?

Nanaya expressed his doubts about this.

Even though he didn't make any demands, every time he called her over, she would change into a swimsuit, although it was a school swimsuit, not the kind that was very revealing.

"Do you really like wearing swimsuits?"

"..."

So, the issue wasn't her abilities, but rather her swimsuit?

This teacher is really something...

They always seem to pay attention to strange and unusual things.

But why wear a swimsuit...?

Is it a habit or something else?

Wannei Kinpo herself was a little confused, and seemed to have changed it subconsciously.

"Putting that aside for now, you've made great progress."

Qi Ye didn't dwell on it any longer.

He raised his hand, patted the girl's head, and smiled broadly.

"Compared to when the semester started, your abilities have improved a lot, which is great."

Although Shichiya was still a little disappointed.

Because of the fact that the area within the bay still shows no signs of sensing natural energy.

Did he use the wrong method?

Even back in the ninja world, people like Hyuga Hanabi and Tenten could quickly sense natural energy...

Hmm, maybe I was too hasty.

Tenten and the others started refining chakra from a young age, and meditation was something they were very familiar with.

Wannei Juanbao had never been in contact with these things before.

From the time Qi Ye started teaching her until now, it has only been a little over three months.

In addition, the child may also be under pressure.

Or perhaps it was because I didn't fully trust him, so I subconsciously had a resistance that prevented me from truly achieving a state of complete absorption in meditation.

In any case, we can't rush things for now.

"It's all thanks to the teachers' excellent guidance."

The little girl was unaware of Qi Ye's thoughts; she was simply a little shy because Qi Ye had patted her head.

But I'll still say something polite.

However, such polite formalities made Qi Ye sigh inwardly.

On the surface, however, he still maintained a smile.

"Alright, go change your clothes and go play with Mitsuko and the others."

"And... what about the teacher?"

"I need to study this carefully, don't worry about me."

"Hi! I'll be going now!"

"Ah."

Qi Ye waved his hand.

He didn't pay much attention to it, he just stood there, biting his nails and thinking.

That's really troublesome.

……

After the marriage, Mitsuko and the others left.

Nanaya also left Tokiwadai School, walking outside while lost in thought.

Girls kept greeting him on the street, but he only nodded perfunctorily and said "uh-huh" as a response, without even glancing at them.

He was thinking of a solution.

"Sure enough, we should have made some preparations and tried with more people."

This is undoubtedly a good idea.

However, finding someone to turn to is also a problem; you have to trust him.

If I had to choose, Himegami Akisa, Fremia, and Frenda would all be suitable candidates; I have absolute trust in him.

But that's not enough.

"This was really a mistake. We should have just used all the girls in the class as the subjects from the beginning."

So much time has passed, and there are still no results.

It's important to understand that Nanaya's attempt to make Wannai Kinuho sense natural energy wasn't just about turning her into an ability user like him; he had other motives as well.

That is, research on his own physical appearance.

So many years have passed, but his height and appearance have not changed; he still looks like he is around seventeen years old.

Anyone would want to study it.

He did achieve some results by studying himself, but some of his research required the cooperation of others.

Natural energy is not so simple; it may have some amazing effects.

For example, maintaining eternal youth?

This is basically confirmed; at least it is reflected in his own behavior.

If this isn't the effect of natural energy, then he must possess a hidden ability to "remain eternally young."

Perhaps it even has the effect of prolonging life?

This cannot be confirmed yet, but given the current situation, it is quite possible.

Ultimately, his body is a miraculous existence.

Their eyes are heterochromatic, each containing a different ability, and they will not continue to grow, etc.

The first time I traveled through time, I miraculously shrank, and all the aftereffects of the various experiments I had done on my body disappeared.

"Could it be that I'm really not human?"

Qi Ye shook his head and mocked himself.

After studying it for so long, I still haven't been able to fully understand it.

Perhaps, the most reasonable explanation is that it is "not human".

"Not human? What do you mean?"

"?!"

A voice came from the side, startling Qi Ye.

I stopped and turned around to see Misaka Mikoto.

"Oh, it's your little niece."

"Don't call me little niece."

First, he offered a rebuttal.

Then, with a puzzled look on his face, he asked.

"What did you just say about not being human? Were you talking about yourself? It seems you've come to realize your true nature!"

"Hey, I don't remember you having a sharp tongue. Your signature trait is being aloof."

"Huh? You're the one who's being arrogant!"

Misaka Mikoto pouted, indicating her displeasure.

However, it seems that since she truly met Qiye, he has never done anything to make her happy.

Hmm, that's not right either.

Ultimately, does it matter whether Qiye makes her angry or happy?

It seems like there's absolutely no need to worry about it.

So why care so much?

Chapter 199: For example...

Although she didn't need to attend classes, Misaka Mikoto still came to school.

I've just been really bored lately.

Shirai Kuroko is busy with her disciplinary committee work and doesn't bother her anymore, which takes away a lot of her fun.

However, there's not much fun to do at school.

While strolling around, I suddenly spotted Nanaya biting her nails as she walked.

Although he wasn't on very good terms with Qiye, he had nothing better to do, so he just chased after him.

However, there was no response after calling several times.

what's the situation?

She followed beside Qi Ye, watching him with curiosity.
