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

"Of course, of course, it's been a long time since I've had such a happy occasion, even though it's just an engagement and not a wedding yet."

Huang Quanchuan Aihui nodded.

Such things are indeed rare in Academy City, because most of the people here are students.

The rest are either busy researchers or teachers responsible for various tasks, leaving little time for dating, let alone engagement or marriage.

Even if they do, they'll just go home.

Most of the people in Academy City came from outside, and many of their families live elsewhere.

Let's leave that aside for now.

"How about Tie Zhuang and I pack Xiao Meng up and give her to you as an engagement gift?"

"Huh?"

"I don't mind at all, anyway, Xiaomeng is an adorable creature."

"Hey? Don't treat me like a gift!"

Tsukuyomi Komoe quickly spoke up in protest.

Although it was just a joke.

Aiho Yomikawa seemed to be somewhat sentimental.

He took a sip of wine and then shook his head.

"I didn't expect you to get engaged, Qi Ye. I always thought you would end up with Xiao Meng. You two are such a good match."

"..."

This time, Tsukuyomi Komoe didn't say anything.

Qi Ye didn't say anything.

A long silence followed.

He simply raised the cup in his hand.

"Whatever, that's just how the world is. Let's still fight for this cruel yet beautiful world..."

"cheers!"

……

Regardless.

As long as you're alive, life goes on.

In life, it's impossible for everything to go smoothly, nor is it possible to live a peaceful life all the time. Unexpected events will always occur, forcing you to face them.

For example, Misaka Mikoto.

Misaka Mikoto's life was originally very peaceful, but in just one month since summer vacation, she has encountered so many things.

Now we've encountered it again.

"Even though it's something that concerns him, that guy really knows how to delegate things to others."

Misaka Mikoto felt somewhat helpless.

This mainly refers to the matter of Febri, which is clearly related to Shichiya, but Shichiya basically didn't care and left it to them to handle.

However, even with Haru Kazari's intervention, she was unable to find any information related to Febri.

Perhaps it wasn't even entered at all?

Or perhaps the relevant information is hidden too deeply to be found so easily?

Either way, things are a bit tricky.

They couldn't keep taking care of a little girl forever, even though they could send her to an orphanage or have the security guards handle it.

But faced with such a cute little girl, he still couldn't bring himself to send her away.

And it may also be related to Shichiya.

More importantly, there might be some conspiracy behind this.

Chapter 281: Lollipop...

a new day.

For Misaka Mikoto and the others, summer vacation is for playing; nothing else matters.

However, others don't think so.

Sometimes, you don't want to cause trouble, but someone else does.

Misaka Mikoto and her friends were attacked.

It's still unclear who this attack was targeting, but Misaka Mikoto increasingly feels that things are not as simple as they seem.

Philip fainted.

He was taken to the hospital, where the frog-faced doctor, Mingtu Zhuihun, helped with the examination and treatment.

This is Misaka Mikoto's request.

On the surface, there doesn't seem to be any major problem.

But Misaka Mikoto was pulled aside by the frog-faced doctor, who then raised the most crucial question.

"That little girl is not human."

That's what the frog-faced doctor said.

Of course, this isn't an insult. No one would insult a girl they've never wronged, unless she's a pervert, an even more perverted pervert than Qi Ye.

He's the kind of hentai who'd get struck by lightning if he went out.

Let's leave that aside for now.

"To be precise, she is a cyborg."

The frog-faced doctor continued to explain.

Misaka Mikoto understands this; after all, they are essentially clones.

When she talks about clones, she thinks of the Misaka Sisters.

Although she had only met Last Order, she knew that the Misaka Sisters had been sent to various research institutions by Nanaya and were living well in this world.

I also know that the frog-faced doctor helped a lot in this process.

But let's leave that aside for now.

"Her body secretes a toxin. She probably eats lollipops all the time, right? The ingredients in lollipops can neutralize that toxin, allowing her to live a normal life. Without lollipops, she would die."

The frog-faced doctor said this.

He was still frowning, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"The problem now is that we still don't know the composition of this lollipop, so we can't manufacture it, which means..."

"In other words, if no way to save her is found before she finishes the remaining lollipop, she will die."

"Yes."

The frog-faced doctor nodded.

Although it might seem like he was ruining his own reputation, he really had no other choice.

Thinking about it, I can't help but sigh.

It seems he's been encountering things that leave him helpless lately, like the memories of a certain womanizer or the students of Kiyama Harumi.

Those were all resolved by Shichiya.

"You're so familiar with Qiye-kun, why don't you go find him? Maybe he can help."

"Ah."

Misaka Mikoto nodded.

There was nothing she could do about it; if she didn't turn to Qi Ye, she didn't know who else to turn to.

Of course, if the person who created Febrile is found, then there is no problem, and life can be sustained by lollipops.

But I always feel like there's a conspiracy behind this.

Moreover, it's better to address the root cause of the problem rather than relying on lollipops all the time.

"However, let's go tomorrow."

The frog-faced doctor continued speaking.

"She needs to rest now."

"Alright."

……

then.

a new day.

Around 9 a.m., Misaka Mikoto and the others brought Febri to the shrine.

They discovered that Mitsuko and the others were also there after their marriage.

It's nothing.

I explained the situation to Shichiya in the simplest terms possible, and asked Shichiya to help solve Febri's health problem.

Qi Ye, on the other hand, seemed to be deep in thought.

"Oh, you can't live without lollipops!"

Biting your nails.

Then he stood up, walked over to Febri, who was playing with Fremia and Last Order, and looked at her.
