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

He just didn't expect to be found out so quickly; he originally thought he could at least keep it a secret for several years or even a decade.

It seems his little niece is quite remarkable.

Knowing the truth is one thing, but why did he have to come and fight him...?

Okay, let's just say it's given her a chance to vent.

Stand up and dust yourself off.

"Little niece, is she still awake?"

He called out.

There was no response.

So he squatted down and poked her cheek with his finger.

"My little niece?"

Still no response.

So he could only shrug and use spatial teleportation to move her to appear behind him.

He hooked his arms around her legs and carried her on his back.

Last night I was carrying Last Order on my back, and now I'm carrying Misaka Mikoto on my back.

Thinking about it this way, I suddenly have a feeling that time flies by.

Has he really gotten old?

Well, at least he still looks young. I guess the day he gets old and frail won't come to him anytime soon.

"Come on, I'll take you back."

With that said, they prepared to use spatial teleportation.

Misaka Mikoto had her arms wrapped around his neck, so she seemed to be awake.

Take a look back.

"Don't you want to go back?"

"..."

"It seems so. Then let's carry you around. I don't care what rumors spread if people see us."

"..."

Still no response.

With a sigh, I lifted my foot and walked forward, until I reached the dilapidated bridge and walked to the other side.

Keep walking forward, it seems there's no need to say anything.

However, Misaka Mikoto had already opened her eyes and was looking at Nanaya, who was standing right in front of her.

After a long while, she hugged herself tightly.

"Sorry……"

"Ok?"

"sorry!"

"Huh? What nonsense are you talking about?"

Qi Ye shook his head.

He carried her on his back and walked forward step by step.

But he was saying it.

"Remember, you have done nothing wrong to anyone in this world, and no one has wronged you, so you don't need to apologize to me."

After saying that, he raised his head and looked up at the sky.

"Ah, what a beautiful day!"

Chapter 228: Mikoto and Nanaya

Omnipotent Cultivation Supreme

Very reassuring.

Being carried on Qiye's back made me feel very safe.

Like a father?

No, it was different from the feeling her father gave her; it was a different feeling, a feeling that was equally reassuring but seemed to have something more to it.

what is it then?

Misaka Mikoto isn't very clear on this.

I simply enjoy this peace of mind; only in this way can my heart find peace.

She did know the truth.

Seven Nights destroyed all the research institutions and their data, but since some things have happened, it's impossible to leave no trace.

Moreover, there are many people who know about this plan, although many of those who were left behind are not entirely clear about the full picture.

But as each person learns a little, and these bits and pieces add up, the truth gradually comes to light.

She had no idea such a crazy plan would happen.

Now that she knows, she doesn't need to do anything, because Qi Ye has already taken care of everything.

But Qi Ye didn't tell her anything.

"why?"

She spoke softly.

The sound was very soft; if it weren't right next to Qiye's ear, he might not have heard it at all.

But Shichiya heard it clearly.

"Why what?"

"Why didn't you tell me? It's all because of me that this happened..."

"So that's why."

Qi Ye shook his head.

That's why we can't say it's not just a blow, but something that could almost crush her.

"There's no need to take all the blame on yourself; it's not your fault."

So the world is wrong again?

Well, this time it has nothing to do with the world, it's mainly about those people.

They'd do anything for the sake of so-called Level 6.

And then there's the real mastermind, Aleister, who's willing to do anything for his own purposes.

"In short, even if you made a mistake, it wasn't just your fault. You should bear the responsibility you're supposed to bear, and not bear the responsibility you shouldn't bear. Besides, the matter has been resolved, and we won't let the sisters sacrifice themselves anymore."

That's what Qiye said.

Misaka Mikoto did not answer; she remained silent.

I carried her on my back as we walked along the road. There were hardly any people around, so it was quite quiet.

Quiet is very nice, quiet.

Even so…

Misaka Mikoto spoke again, and Nanaya listened intently.

"Even so, why didn't you tell me after you saved them? Could it be because..."

"Don't overthink it, I just didn't tell you."

Qi Ye shook his head.

So it's really troublesome to talk to someone. They don't have the legendary "talking magic" to get things done with just a few words.

"So why?"

"Why? Hmm, why..."

Think it over carefully.

After a long time, no answer was found.

Misaka Mikoto's eyes darted around, looking at his profile.

No one spoke.

I kept walking forward, and I didn't know how far I had gone, but there were more and more buildings and pedestrians around me.

Many people looked at the two of them with suspicion, but didn't pay much attention.

We stopped when we reached the traffic light.

"Maybe it was because of that thing."

"what?"

"Yes, that's right. I don't want you to have that kind of expression, I don't want you to cry, and I don't want you to be exposed to this darkness. Your world doesn't need these things."

"..."

Silence again.

After a long while, when the red light turned green, Qi Ye lifted his foot and walked forward.

Only then did he speak.

"You're not me, so don't act like everything you do is for my own good."
