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

"My little niece..."

With the help of Toshinobu Fubuki, Nanaya patted his white coat and was about to say something.

However, Misaka Mikoto spoke up faster than him.

"Hey you, I have something to ask you."

"Huh? What?"

"..."

Misaka Mikoto didn't speak, but just looked at Fubuki Toshinobu standing next to Nanaya.

There was still a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Those eyes, and that face, seem familiar... I've seen them somewhere before.

illusion?

Nanaya glanced at Misaka Mikoto, then at Toshinobu Fubuki.

"Oh, this..."

I was just about to start introducing myself.

But this time he was interrupted again, but this time it was Toshinobu Fubuki who spoke.

"Sorry, Senior Seven Nights, I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

"Oh? Then go ahead and get busy."

Qi Ye nodded.

Fubuki Toshinobu didn't say much, nodded to Nanaya and Misaka Mikoto, and then turned and left.

Misaka Mikoto still looked at her back with some confusion.

After a long while, he finally spoke up to ask a question.

Who is she?

“Bundle and sturdiness”.

"A bundle of cloth?"

Misaka Mikoto muttered to herself.

I think I've heard of it, but I also think I haven't; I can't quite recall it right now.

Qi Ye did offer an explanation.

“He studied under me for a period of time when I was doing research before, so he could be considered my half-student.”

"Is that so?"

Take one last look at the figure that has blended into the crowd and is gradually disappearing.

Then I shook my head, too lazy to think about it anymore.

He turned to look at Qiye.

"You bastard..."

"Little niece, be polite, you need to be polite. Don't keep calling me 'guy' or 'bastard' like that. I'm still your husband, after all!"

"My good man, my foot!"

Misaka Mikoto retorted, looking somewhat annoyed.

Her face was also a little red.

He must have been exhausted, running around outside for so long. It's summer now, and even though it's still morning, the temperature is quite high. He was covered in sweat.

So he grabbed the sleeve of the white coat and helped wipe the sweat from her face.

"So why are you running in such a hurry?"

"It's just a little sweat..."

Misaka Mikoto pushed away Nanaya's hand.

Such intimate gestures made her uncomfortable, and besides, she hadn't sought out Qi Ye for such trivial matters.

Qi Ye withdrew his hand.

"Let's talk as we walk. What's the rush to see me?"

He walked forward while talking.

Misaka Mikoto took out her handkerchief to quickly wipe away the sweat, then quickly put it away and chased after him.

Stay by Qiye's side.

What happened last night?

"Last night? Could there have been something last night..."

"Don't lie to me, you know you can't fool me."

"..."

Nanaya tilted her head and looked at Misaka Mikoto.

He remained silent for a long time.

This made Misaka Mikoto feel a little uncomfortable; her shoulders unconsciously twitched, and she glared at Nanaya again.

What are you looking at me for?

"Because you're beautiful, I never get tired of looking at you."

"What nonsense are you spouting?!"

That's why Qiye always says that this kind of thing makes people feel...

If it feels strange.

She felt something was off, and there seemed to be a strange feeling in her heart.

But this is not the point.

"Tell me quickly, what exactly happened last night?"

"How would I know what the pangolin said!"

"what?"

"I don't know what happened at the garden tea party that day."

"What nonsense! Don't change the subject."

Misaka Mikoto raised her hand, and streaks of electricity flashed.

Qi Ye remained silent.

As he walked forward, his right thumb unconsciously went to his mouth, and he bit his nail.

Seeing this, Misaka Mikoto glared at him again.

Don't try to fool me!

"what?"

"You're definitely trying to lie to me, aren't you? Don't deny it, you bite your nails every time you're thinking."

Anyone familiar with Shichiya will know this.

Misaka Mikoto naturally knew.

So she felt that Qiye was trying to come up with some excuse to lie to her. Why not just say it directly? Why change the subject? And why was he thinking about it?

Seven Nights looked at her.

He smiled and reached out to pat her head.

"I knew I couldn't fool my little niece."

"Humph!"

She gave a soft snort and slapped away Qi Ye's hand that was touching her head.

He's always biting his nails or touching people's heads. What kind of weird habits are these?

Qi Ye didn't pay any attention and continued walking forward.

His eyes seemed to be looking at the sky.

Today is another beautiful day, with blue skies and white clouds.

It's just a bit hot.

Pedestrians on the street were also carrying handkerchiefs or similar items, wiping their sweat as they walked.

Summer has truly arrived.

"Hey, little niece."

"what?"

"Don't worry about what happened last night. Just know that it wasn't a bad thing."

"You went and bombed someone's house, causing such a huge commotion. Isn't that a bad thing?"

"Hmm... then let's just say I did something bad. Anyway, I'm not a good person to begin with, and I don't know how many bad things I've done."

He shook his head with a hint of self-deprecation, seemingly not intending to say anything more.

This made Misaka Mikoto a little unhappy.

Although Qi Ye wasn't exactly lying to her, he didn't tell her anything...

Hmm, it seems like I'm a little too concerned about Qiye's situation.

Is it just an illusion?

Misaka Mikoto frowned as she pondered.

Qi Ye glanced at her.
