The Legend of Level 0 in Academy City

As for the rest...

He's actually the head of the secret organization 'Group'?

This is rather intriguing.

I remember the group only had four people: Yifang, Aizali, Tsuchimikado, and Kihara.

So this boy named Inoue Hideka is a variable in the original storyline.

It seems we can only discover how much has changed gradually.

I don't know how much of my familiarity with the plot will be able to leverage.

Ring ring ring~~ Ring ring ring~~

Inoue Hideka, who was deep in thought, was suddenly interrupted by the ringing of her phone. She took her phone out of her pocket and looked at it with displeasure.

Tears?

Is that such an intimate way of addressing each other?

Could it be that these two people actually have a close relationship?

However, when we called her "Saten" in the hospital, we didn't notice any unusual reaction from her.

Or is it that this guy has always had a crush on Lei Ye, but Lei Ye only sees him as a friend, so he only dares to fantasize about it on his phone?

In short, just in case, let's continue to refer to her by the name 'Saten'.

With a soft exhale, Inoue Hideka placed her finger on the answer button.

"Hello? Saten?"

"Yinghua, where are you? I went to the hospital, but the doctor said they didn't know when you left."

"Oh, I feel fine, so I went straight back to my dorm."

"..."

For some reason, Inoue Eika noticed that Saten Ruiko across from her had suddenly fallen silent.

Inside an apartment in the 7th school district.

Saten Ruiko was in Inoue Eika's room, making his bed and wardrobe while talking to him on her phone.

Upon hearing Inoue Hideka's words, the hand folding clothes suddenly paused, and the phone tucked around her neck almost fell to the ground.

A look of sadness flashed in his eyes, and his once bright and lively eyes became blurred as if veiled by a layer of mist.

Stopping what she was doing, Saten Ruiko leaned against the edge of the bed and sat on the floor, forcing a smile, as she spoke into her phone:

“If Yinghua doesn’t want to live with me, I can move out. After all, this house was bought with your money, so if someone has to move out, that person… should be me.”

As she said these words, Saten Ruiko seemed to hear Inoue Eika's words before they were bought the house.

'Make sure to write both of our names on the form! And don't forget to have your ID card ready, Ruizi.'

'Ruizi will eventually become another owner of this house, so what's so surprising about having your name on it? Or does Ruizi not plan to marry me in the future?'

Although the speaker meant no harm, Saten Ruiko kept these words firmly in her heart.

At the time, I was just secretly moved and overjoyed. Now, are all of that just empty talk?

after?

marry?

Is there really a future?

Those happy times... those wonderful moments... are they fading away?

Eika... is your final choice Misaka-senpai?

Thinking back to the first time we met, I cooked for him but found his dorm room to be incredibly messy.

This was my first time visiting the 21st school district to see the most beautiful scenery.

We ate lunch together on the school rooftop.

They secretly texted and argued during class, behind the teacher's back.

My classmates misunderstood my blushing and heart-pounding during our relationship.

When did the brilliance that once belonged only to me begin to drift further and further away from me?

With many images flashing through her mind, Saten Ruiko leaned back against the edge of Inoue Eika's bed, her head tilted back, and two glistening tears unconsciously streamed down her face as she looked at the ceiling.

Chapter 180 A willful girl is adorable!

"Huh? What?"

Hearing Saten Ruiko's words, Inoue Hideka was quite shocked.

Living with Grandpa Tears?

Living together? Couple?

However, in addition to the shock, Inoue Hideka also felt a pain in his chest for no apparent reason.

Why does my heart ache?

I don't know, I can't explain it.

But for some reason, I just didn't want to hear her sad words.

After the initial shock, Inoue Hideka hurriedly and frantically explained:

"No, no! Saten, listen to me, I didn't mean to move out, I just came here to pick up some things. Oh, right! There's so much stuff, I don't think I can carry it all by myself, could you come and help me?"

"..."

Another silence followed.

Inoue Hideka waited anxiously for Saten Ruiko's response.

He had no idea that this body had actually bought a house, let alone the address. If Saten Ruiko didn't come to pick him up, he wouldn't be able to find the place even if he wanted to go back.

"Really?"

Not long after, Saten Ruiko's slightly trembling voice came through the phone again.

Inoue Hideka felt that there seemed to be a lot of things in that voice.

Anticipation, trepidation, worry, confusion, and even a hint of humble pleading.

"Of course it's true! When have I ever lied to you!"

While he spoke confidently on the surface, Inoue Hideka was actually a little worried inside.

Who knows if his predecessor ever lied to Tearful Master, but in reality, he's never been in a relationship before, and that's all he can say to comfort a girl.

"Pfft! Yinghua, you...you're saying that again! You've said that so many times already!"

Inoue Hideka could imagine that Saten Ruiko on the other side had just been amused by his words. While feeling relieved, she also felt quite embarrassed.

"Haha! Really? The past doesn't count, this time it's for real!"

"Yinghua, wait for me a moment, I'll be right there."

"Okay!"

After hanging up the phone, Inoue Hideka sat on the bed and looked around the room anxiously.

What should I take?

I already said that if one person can't take it all, at least make an appearance, right?

Sitting up, Inoue Hideka scurried around the room like an ant on a hot plate, rummaging through things here and there.

The kitchen is well-equipped, but I probably won't need any of it.

Otherwise, they would have moved there long ago.

Inside the drawer...

There doesn't seem to be anything special.

These three large sandbags can't be unloaded all at once!

Wardrobe……

Click!

Inoue Hideka, who was rummaging through the wardrobe, suddenly heard the door open and froze on the spot.

So fast?

So close?

"Ying...Hua? What are you doing?"

"Hahaha! It's nothing... Actually... um... I originally wanted to bring these sandbags with me, but I couldn't get them down no matter how hard I tried..."

Taking his head out of the closet, Inoue Hideka awkwardly scratched the back of his head and looked at Saten Ruiko with a sheepish grin.

"Yinghua! Your body has just recovered, you are not allowed to do this kind of training that will leave you covered in injuries... Huh? Your shoulder..."

Saten Ruiko spoke to Inoue Eika with some anger, then suddenly noticed the abrasion on Inoue Eika's shoulder. She walked over nervously and examined it with concern.

"This... I bumped into it by accident, it's okay. Let's not take it, let's go!"

Inoue Hideka felt a little uncomfortable with Saten Ruiko's intimate actions and hurriedly walked towards the door first.

He understood that even if the two were a couple, he wasn't the male lead in the story.

The heartache I felt before must have come from the obsession of my past life, right?

"Forehead……"

When Inoue Hideka reached the door, she realized that she didn't know the way.

Reluctantly stopping, he turned around to look at Saten Ruiko who had followed him. To avoid awkwardness, he casually started a conversation:

"What did Saten do this afternoon?"

"It's nothing...it's not a big deal."
