The Legend of Level 0 in Academy City

"You're smart to know your place!"

"..."

Inoue Hideka didn't bother with her and simply didn't reply.

Sitting on the bench as well, he asked while eating a hamburger:

"Now can you tell me why you called me here so early in the morning...?"

"Don't sit so close, you idiot!"

Despite her complaints, Misaka Mikoto neither got up to move away nor pushed Inoue Eika away.

"There's only so much space on the bench, how can I sit any closer to it?"

"Well, in that case, there's nothing I can do. You'll be allowed to sit here..."

Misaka Mikoto blushed and stammered.

"I said... can you still tell me your purpose...?"

Inoue Hideka was speechless with exasperation at this arrogant and smug person who was always trying to take advantage of others.

"Ahhh! Actually, I... I have something I want to get rid of you!"

………………

"So, because the Tokiwadai chairman's grandson has been bothering you lately, and you're too embarrassed to refuse him, you want me to pretend to be your boyfriend so you can get rid of him?"

"Yes, that's right!"

Inoue Hideka turned her head to look at Misaka Mikoto, whose face had been flushed since the beginning, and was a little worried that she might get heatstroke if she continued like this.

Although it's almost September, there's still a risk of heatstroke if your body stays in a high temperature under the blazing sun.

"Even if you say that, Misaka-senpai, it's still not a very good idea, is it?"

Pretending to be Misaki Shokuhou's boyfriend is already a huge disservice to Ruiko.

Furthermore, Misaki Shokuhou has absolutely no romantic feelings for him, so if he were to pretend to be Misaka Mikoto's boyfriend...

Perhaps with her personality, she might take the role too seriously?

I don't have the courage to be honest with the person I like, but the thought that 'it's okay if I just pretend' will definitely pop into the mind of this arrogant person in front of me.

"Huh? What? Is it that difficult to pretend to be Mikoto-sama's boyfriend?"

Misaka Mikoto had already gone all out by making such a shameful request with a coy demeanor, and now she was going to be rejected by this useless jerk?

Electric sparks crackled in Misaka Mikoto's hair, as if she were about to transform into a violent woman. Inoue Hideka felt a chill run down her spine and quickly surrendered.

"No, no! We'll do whatever Misaka-senpai says."

"Humph!"

Misaka Mikoto proudly tossed her hair, snorted coldly, and ignored Inoue Eika, continuing to eat her hamburger.

"By the way, Misaka-senpai should have Shirai's contact information, right? Could you tell me? I have something I want to ask her."

What exactly happened yesterday?

This question has been troubling Inoue Hideka. As a member of the Disciplinary Committee, Shirai Kuroko should know the cause and effect of the matter better than Misaka Mikoto, who was directly involved.

"Oh? Oh, then write it down, I'll look for it."

Misaka Mikoto placed the hamburger on the bench and took out her phone to search for something.

"Ah, I've got it! xxxxxxxxxx"

Seeing that Misaka Mikoto had already started reading out Shirai Kuroko's contact information, Inoue Hideka quickly took out her phone, tapped the screen repeatedly, and wrote down a series of numbers.

Since I don't have anything else to do right now, why don't I just call and ask?

Will I be rejected by a crazy, jealous pervert?

Just as Inoue Eika was thinking this, she saw Misaka Mikoto looking at the two hamburgers from left to right, looking like she was about to go crazy.

"Ugh! Which one is mine?! You idiot! Can't you be a little more careful?"

"Hey?"

It seems that I was in such a hurry to memorize a phone number that I accidentally put the hamburger and Misaka Mikoto's hamburger together.

"Let me see……"

Inoue Eika took the hamburgers and examined them carefully. One of the hamburgers had more than half of the chicken leg meat eaten, which must be because she liked to eat meat.

"This is mine, here you go!"

Having clearly identified the hamburger, Inoue Hideka handed another hamburger in her left hand to Misaka Mikoto, but Misaka Mikoto did not take it.

How do you know it's yours? Why does it look like mine to me?

"No, it is indeed mine!"

"its mine!"

"It really is mine! The meat in this burger..."

"mine!"

Before she could finish explaining, Misaka Mikoto snatched the hamburger from Inoue Eika's right hand and took a bite with a "Ah~m~".

"..."

Inoue Hideka was speechless, feeling like Misaka Mikoto knew it wasn't hers but still insisted on eating it.

Exhausted, he turned away, no longer in the mood to call Shirai Kuroko after all the commotion, and silently ate the hamburger in his hand that was clearly bitten by Misaka Mikoto.

As a grown man, he certainly wouldn't mind boring games like indirect kissing, as long as he could eat.

"Hey……"

When Misaka Mikoto saw that Inoue Eika had actually eaten the hamburger, her face turned red instantly, and her eyes even filled with tears. It was as if the arrogance in her tsundere persona had suddenly been swallowed up with Inoue Eika's bite.

"Huh? Misaka-senpai, why are you being so complicated! You just ate the burger I ate without a care in the world! Do you want to switch it now?"

Chapter 136 Aizali

"Ah...I...I..."

Looking at Misaka Mikoto's delicate, tearful appearance, Inoue Eika felt a little sorry for her.

She reached out her bandaged hand, patted Misaka Mikoto's head, and comforted her:

"Alright, alright! Don't worry about it. Didn't we eat from the same plate together? Come to think of it, it's the same, isn't it?"

"Mmm, mmm..."

With her head down, Misaka Mikoto was humming like a mosquito, seemingly enjoying Inoue Eika's caresses.

Inoue Hideka suddenly felt as if her worldview had been shattered. Was this the end of the world?

How can it be!

How could the proud and aloof Misaka Mikoto suddenly appear as such a delicate and timid wife?

Sensing the increasingly eerie atmosphere, Inoue Hideka stood up tremblingly and said in a trembling voice:

"Um, Misaka-senpai, I'm going to buy a drink, wait for me a minute..."

Then, with a whoosh, it accelerated to full speed and fled in panic.

huh... huh...

Panting, Inoue Eika stopped in front of the vending machine, throwing away the hamburger that was almost empty, still feeling bewildered.

He braced his hands on his knees, panting heavily, his mind filled with confusion.

what happened?

Is that really Misaka Mikoto?

Could it be a fake?

"kindness?"

Suddenly sensing a fluctuation moving towards her from afar, Inoue Hideka stopped speculating about Misaka Mikoto's unusual behavior and turned to look in the direction from which the fluctuation appeared.

Is it Aizali?

"Hey! Isn't this Misaka-san's friend? Hello! I'm Mitsuki Kaihara, nice to meet you!"

With his refreshing face resembling that of Mitsuki Kaihara and a sunny smile, Aizali greeted Eika Inoue.

"Put away that fake smile. As a magician, you should know everything about me, right?"

"Oh?"

A fleeting look of surprise crossed Aizali's face, followed by a playful smile.

"Heh! So, the information that Inoue-kun is possessed by the angel Michael is indeed true, isn't it? Although I don't know how my identity was exposed, as one of Kamijou's forces, you must be eliminated, that much is certain!"

As Aizali spoke, he assumed a fighting stance, pulled out a black dagger from behind his back, and swiftly attacked Inoue Hideka with light emanating from it.

Aztec priests possessed the technique of peeling the skin off living human sacrifices and wearing it on their own bodies; Aizali's magic, which allowed him to impersonate Kaihara Mitsuki, was developed from this technique.

By cutting about 15 centimeters of skin from the wrist of the person you want to impersonate and making it into an amulet, and then wearing it, you can transform into that person's appearance.

As their appearance changes, even their voice, physique, and gender will become exactly the same as that person's.

Therefore, Izali was somewhat curious about why Inoue Hideka had seen through his identity.

However, I didn't pay too much attention to it.

"Wait! I don't think we need to fight..."

Seeing the light gleaming on the obsidian dagger, Inoue Hideka immediately dodged the incoming beam and tried to persuade Aizali.

I remember that because Izari liked Misaka Mikoto and wanted to protect her, she later defected to the science side and joined the dark organization 'Group'.

For this reason, Inoue Hideka believed there was no reason to fight at all.

However, Aizali clearly had no intention of listening to Inoue Hidekazu's words. The dagger once again gleamed, pointing at Inoue Hidekazu.

"Hmph! There's no need to fight? That's just an excuse for your incompetence to run away, isn't it? Even if you were possessed by Michael, what can you do to me as an ordinary person?"

"Tsk!"
