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

Shirai Kuroko glanced out the window, then looked at Misaka Mikoto.

She always felt that these weather changes were related to Misaka Mikoto. Whenever Misaka Mikoto was in a bad mood, similar changes would occur, as if she were manipulating the weather.

Or rather, manipulating lightning, like a thunder god in charge of lightning.

It's all thunder but no rain.

Perhaps we're missing a rain god?

It does not matter.

The important thing is that she knows what kind of feelings Misaka Mikoto has for Nanaya, but now she has received news that Nanaya is getting engaged to Mitsuko.

"Big sister..."

I wanted to offer some words of advice.

But in the end, they had to give up, and could only sigh softly.

Seven Nights, a man burdened with sin.

……

Tokiwadai.

Outdoor swimming pool.

The swimming team gathered here for practice today.

Wan Neijinbo and Pao Fuwanbin are both members of the swimming club, so naturally they are here as well.

When Pao Fu Wanbin came out of the water, he found Wan Nei Juan Bao sitting on it, staring blankly at his phone.

I'm a little curious.

"what happened?"

"Um……"

Wan Neijuanbo's gaze shifted from her phone to Bu Fuwanbin, who was still submerged in the water.

I stared at her for a moment.

Then answer.

"A phone call from a classmate after my marriage."

"Oh."

"She said she wanted to get engaged to Teacher Qiye."

"...Huh?"

……

Engagement is not marriage.

Even when she gets married, she doesn't invite just anyone. After marriage, Mitsuko doesn't have many friends. Perhaps it's because she's often with Nanaya, but she hasn't been able to make many friends growing up.

She notified Shirai Kuroko and the others, Wanai Kinuho and Awafuki Manbin, and also some friends she had known since childhood.

And then that was it.

"Where's Brother Qiye? Have you already notified him?"

Still at the research institute, still on the bench at the corner, Mitsuko asked after her marriage.

The time is all set, it's at the end of the month.

Of course, because they didn't want to be too flashy, and knew that Qiye didn't like complicated things, they kept everything simple, just inviting some people they knew to announce the matter.

Just treat it as a party and have fun.

As for the conglomerate's partners after the marriage...

That would naturally be handled by Mitsuko's father after the marriage; she and Nanaya wouldn't need to worry about it.

"The people you invited are basically the same people I was going to invite, so don't worry about it."

Qi Ye shook his head.

He has no parents or relatives, and the people he knows are mostly those that Mitsuko met after their marriage, so it would be enough for Mitsuko to invite him after their marriage.

However, there are still some that require his personal attention.

For example, Tsukuyomi Komoe and the others; although Mitsuko knew them after marriage, they weren't very close.

In addition, there are Misaka Mikoto's parents.

He knew Misaka Tabikatsu, and given his connection with Misaka Mikoto, he felt he had to invite them, even though he doubted they could come.

They are very busy too.

One is busy traveling all over the world, while the other is busy going to university.

Let's leave that aside for now.

It's just a matter of calling to let them know, no rush.

Even after getting married, Guangzi wasn't in a hurry.

Just looking at Qiye, she couldn't help but speak up.

"Brother Qiye, is the research not finished yet?"

Recently, Qiye has been busy with research here day and night. Although she doesn't quite understand what kind of research it is, she noticed that Qiye seems to have become somewhat haggard.

Distressed.

If it weren't for her lack of understanding, she would have wanted to take over the research from Qiye.

However, Qiye wouldn't let her do those things.

"The research has made progress, but it won't be completed anytime soon."

Qi Ye shook his head.

The research these days has indeed made considerable progress.

Kaguya is a very powerful person. Nanaya's mental manipulation was useless against her, perhaps because her soul was too strong, so she easily broke free from Nanaya's skill.

This was a reminder from Qi Ye, because if mind manipulation was ineffective on her, it might be ineffective on others as well.

Of course, the premise is that the other party's mental strength is also strong enough to ignore Qiye's mental manipulation, otherwise they would still have to obediently become a sex slave or something.

There are very few people whose mental strength reaches this level.

However, if you want to use mind manipulation again in the future, you need to be more careful. Otherwise, if it doesn't work on the other party and they pretend to be controlled by you, and then attack you from behind when you're not paying attention, that would be troublesome.

Let's leave that aside for now.

Mental strength is something that you have to grow slowly on your own, and then become stronger and stronger.

But for other things, you can develop them yourself.

For example, spatial capabilities.

Kaguya also possesses spatial abilities; she can even create those strange spaces. Nanaya was able to trap her in her eyes by imitating that space, creating a small space.

It's so small that people can't get in; it can only trap the soul.

The main reason was that the battle was still ongoing at the time, and they took the opportunity to study the simulated area, so the development was not very complete.

It is different now.

Although mental energy was useless against Kaguya, she didn't seem to mind talking to Nanaya about these things.

Perhaps they want to learn from each other's strengths and make up for each other's weaknesses.

She didn't care, and neither did Qi Ye, since some safety measures had been taken on her, so there was no need to worry too much.

Once perfected, I too can create a space like hers.

However, unlike her, the space that Qiye created was empty, unlike hers which had gravity, magma, or something similar, and was divided into several spatial areas.

take it easy.

"Alright, I'll continue my research. You should also go and make your own preparations. Come find me if anything comes up."

"Ah."

Chapter 274: What's Wrong?

night.

A magical night market stall.

After a rare day of research, Qi Ye came here to have a late-night snack with Yueyong Xiaomeng and the others.

I also invited them to the engagement ceremony.

"got engaged?"

"And Mitsuko after marriage?"

"Is that the little girl from Tokiwadai who always came here with a folding fan and whose forehead was showing?"

Tsukuyomi Komoe, Yomikawa Aiho, and Tetsuya Tsuri were all a little surprised.

This is so sudden.

That's just too unbelievable.

Why the sudden talk of an engagement...?

That girl is only fourteen years old, right? And still a student, isn't she? Qi Ye is actually engaged to a student?

Although I don't understand, Qiye's age is definitely not what it seems on the surface. She might be younger than them, or she might be older.

He's getting engaged to a fourteen-year-old girl like this? And they're going to get married later?

And then again...

"Aren't you already married, kid?"
