Misaka Mikoto quickly pulled her hand back, turned her head to the other side, and didn't intend to say anything more to Nanaya.

Qi Ye tilted his head slightly as he looked at her.

Although only a side profile can be seen, under the lights of the night market stall, it is clear that the girl's cheeks seem to be slightly flushed.

He smiled.

He raised his hand again and patted the girl's head.

"My little niece is so cute!"

"..."

Misaka Mikoto did not answer.

She simply pushed Qiye's hand away, seemingly with disdain.

Qi Ye didn't pay any attention.

He turned around and continued chatting with Tsukuyomi and the others.

a long time.

She glanced at him furtively and realized that Qi Ye really didn't seem to be paying attention to her, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

But for some reason, I felt like something was both more and less in my heart.

Is it just an illusion?

Okay, that's not important.

Since she couldn't drink alcohol, Misaka Mikoto continued to drink fruit juice and eat various foods.

This late-night food stall really has everything!

Misaka Mikoto sighed.

next to.

"Oh, right."

Nanaya seemed to suddenly remember something.

Misaka Mikoto turned her head to look at him, thinking that Nanaya had something he wanted to say to her.

However, that's not the case.

Nana didn't look at her, but at Tsukuyomi Komoe, who was holding a skewer of grilled squid in her hand.

Misaka Mikoto merely hummed in response, but her voice was so low that even she couldn't hear it.

Ignoring Qiye, he continued eating.

But their ears seemed to be perked up, perhaps wanting to eavesdrop on a few words.

"Xiao Meng, is that little nun still with you?"

Yes, that's right.

Tsukuyomi Komoe nodded.

The "little nun" naturally refers to Index, who has been staying with her for the past few days.

The main issue is that Touma Kamijou's dorm was completely destroyed by the magician's flames that night, and it's currently under renovation. It's estimated that it will be a few more days before he can move back.

So until then, Tsukuyomi Komoe temporarily took them in.

"Kamijou-chan and the nun are staying at my place, and I've been staying at Aiho-chan's house for the past few days."

"Oh."

Qi Ye nodded.

The little nun's matter doesn't seem to be resolved yet. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that a week has passed from when I met the little nun to when the matter was resolved.

It will probably take another two or three days.

This matter is complicated to explain and complicated to do.

So I didn't dwell on it too much.

Just as I was about to change the subject, Tsukuyomi Komoe asked a question.

"Seven Nights, aren't you going to help them?"

"Help with what?"

"Index seems to be in some trouble. I'm worried that Kamijou-chan can't handle it."

"Ah, no problem."

Qi Ye shook his head.

It's best not to get involved in these things if possible, otherwise who knows what Aleister will think.

Now the two of them keep to themselves, with Shichiya doing her own thing and Aleister doing his. Although they have never met or spoken to each other, they seem to have a good understanding.

Tsukuyomi Komoe wanted to say something, but Misaka Mikoto suddenly asked out of curiosity.

"What nun?"

"A nun is a nun, the kind in a church."

"I do remember you having someone dressed as a shrine maiden with you. How come there's a nun here now?"

The one wearing the shrine maiden's outfit naturally refers to Himegami Akisa.

I met him once before on Seventh.Mist and we introduced ourselves, so we know each other.

"As the white-robed archbishop of the shrine, what's so strange about me knowing a nun?"

Qi Ye shrugged.

There must be a priestess in the shrine, and the white-robed archbishop must be followed by one or more nuns.

This is normal.

"whispering sound!"

Misaka Mikoto pursed her lips, not believing Nanaya's nonsense.

But thinking about it, Qiye seems to be quite popular with women.

Well, I'd say it's quite popular with young girls.

She was accompanied by a shrine maiden and a little girl. At school, it was said that she often spent time with Mitsuko, a first-year student named Kinuho Wannai, and Manbin Awafuki, secretly doing something together.

It's said to be for conducting experiments or something.

He also knows Saten Ruiko and Uiharu Kazari, though it seems their relationship is limited to just acquaintances.

Next up is Shirai Kuroko.

Between Nanaya and Shirai Kuroko...

Well, how should I put it?

Although Shirai Kuroko dislikes Nanaya, to outsiders they seem to have a good relationship, like "enemies are destined to meet".

Thinking about it this way, I feel inexplicably annoyed again.

"I'm not going to talk about calculations anymore, hmph."

He gave a soft hum and continued drinking his juice and eating.

Nana ignored her and instead explained to Tsukuyomi Komoe.

"Xiao Meng, it's not that I'm not willing to help, it's just that I suddenly remembered there's something that needs to be resolved, and it's a troublesome thing."

"Oh? Is there anything I can help you with?"

"No need. Although it's troublesome, I can handle it myself. I don't need any help."

"That's good. But if you need anything, just let me know."

"Um……"

"Xiao Meng, Qi Ye, you two stop whispering. Come on, let's drink... Uncle, another bottle of wine."

"okay."

Another bottle of wine was placed in front of Yomikawa Aiho.

Qi Ye also picked up the wine that was placed aside and filled his own glass.

Then raise your glass.

"Come, come, let us celebrate this cruel yet beautiful world..."

"cheers!"

"..."

……

Late at night.

After a satisfying meal, the music ended and everyone dispersed.

Tsukuyomi and the others said goodbye and left, leaving only Nanaya and Misaka Mikoto.

However, Qiye also stood up and stretched.

"Uncle, you're leaving now. You should hurry home and be with your queen too."

"Queen and stuff... actually, older men and younger girls are the standard match, hehehehe..."

"..."

Misaka Mikoto remained expressionless.

Ignoring the distinctive laughter, he followed Qiye away.

Even after walking a little further away, I still can't help but turn around and look at that late-night food stall.

Then he looked at Qiye.

"He has everything! That uncle is amazing; he has all kinds of ingredients."
