The Legend of Level 0 in Academy City

Trust, dependence.

This feeling, which she only had for those close to her, existed in her without any reason.

Yet it seems that no reason is needed.

Feeling the inexplicably harmonious atmosphere, Inoue Hideka followed Shokuhou Misaki as they walked outside.

On the first floor, just as they were about to exit the workshop, a somewhat strange woman walking towards them suddenly caught Inoue Hideka's attention.

Chapter 187 So-called stray dogs

It was said to be strange, but Inoue Hideka couldn't quite put her finger on what was so strange about it.

Perhaps it's his height?

To be honest, Kanzaki's height of 175cm is already quite tall, and the woman in front of her is over 180cm.

No, it's not just about height.

Even the body's skeleton looks very strange.

Having been influenced by the various cross-dressing trends of her past life, Inoue Hideka looked at this woman with long white hair and wearing a uniform, as if she were seeing those cross-dressing masters from her past life.

Although her face looks exactly like a woman's, her body's frame and curves cannot be changed.

Once she was far enough away from the woman, Inoue Eika did not withdraw her curious gaze and asked Shokuhou Misaki with a puzzled look.

"Senior, was that woman... one of your subordinates?"

"Yes, they're a recent addition, and their research abilities are quite impressive!"

"Hmm...don't you think she's a little strange?"

"Judging by appearances is wrong! However, everyone under me is only qualified to enter after I have personally verified that they are all in order. In the face of my abilities, those with ill intentions will have nowhere to hide."

"Okay, since you say so, I'm relieved. I'll go get a taxi first, you can walk slowly."

After Inoue finished speaking, he jogged to the road and stood on the side of the road watching the passing vehicles.

Hehe~~

Misao Shokuhou chuckled softly, a hint of relief flashing in her eyes as she looked at Eika Inoue.

Regardless of whether he has amnesia or not, his thoughtfulness has never changed.

Students in Academy City mostly travel by bus, and during the school term, they usually eat lunch at their respective school cafeterias or bring their own lunchboxes.

As expected, Inoue Hideka hailed a taxi very easily.

Sitting in the back row with Misaki Shokuhou, Inoue Eika suddenly remembered her empty wallet and felt a little embarrassed.

Are women supposed to pay for the bus fare?

What's even more appalling is that women are expected to treat others to meals?

Oops!

He even promised to treat Index to a big meal that night!

Just think of her astonishing appetite...

Although it was difficult to say and she felt a sense of humiliation from being a kept woman, Inoue Hideka still stammered as she spoke to Shokuhou Misaki:

"Um... senior? I... I don't think I have any money..."

"Pfft! Hehe, junior, your comedic timing seems to have improved since then!"

"Um... there's also... I... I promised to treat Index to a hamburger... Anyway, it's the same food for two people, so you... you see..."

brazen!

That's absolutely shameless!

Even Inoue Hideka himself couldn't believe that he could say such shameless things, not only asking the girl to treat him to a meal, but also asking her to treat other people to meals on his behalf!

Isn't this blatant leeching off a woman?

But he really didn't have any money!

If Inoue Hideka were to break her promise and not invite Index to dinner, not only would Inoue Hideka feel bad for her looking so aggrieved, but she couldn't bear to be looked down upon by the big-eater nun for being untrustworthy!

Utterly ashamed to utter such words that threw her self-esteem into the trash, Inoue Hideka's face turned extremely red, her eyes darting around, unable to look directly at Shokuhou Misaki.

"Never mind, driver, let's change our route and go to Pingtai Apartment."

The Heitai Apartments in the 7th School District are the apartment buildings where Inoue Eika's family lives, and also the address of Kamijou Touma's family.

------

"Wow! Hamburgers! This is my first time in such a high-class restaurant! That idiot Touma never takes me to such luxurious places to eat, hmph!"

After picking up Index from home, Inoue Hideka went to the fourth school district and visited a restaurant called 'Paris, Fennel'. Having been tormented by her own feelings of being a lost dog the whole way, Inoue Hideka finally felt a little better after seeing Index's excited appearance.

Misaki Shokuhou naturally knew Index's appetite, so she ordered ten hamburgers for her. Then she sat down in a chair, propped her chin up on the table, and looked at the extremely excited Index with a smile.

Touma Kamijou brought his own prepared lunchbox and ate it at school for lunch.

When bored Index was at Touma Kamijou's school, she would usually stay at Inoue Eika's house playing with Last Order or watching anime together.

At this point, the noise is so intense that one person has to activate sound reflection to calm their agitated emotions.

However, ever since the incident involving Tenjou Ao, even when Accelerator activates his Reflection ability, he keeps a close eye on Last Order's playful figure wherever his gaze falls.

Sometimes, when the two girls weren't looking, he would secretly reveal a gentle smile. If he was discovered, he would snort coldly in annoyance, turn his head away with a red face and disdain.

"Well~~ Index, eat slowly! This lady is very generous and will definitely let you eat your fill. Eat slowly and be careful not to choke."

"Yinghua! Blonde hair doesn't make me a sister, don't underestimate me! Humph!"

Upon hearing Inoue Eika's words, Index actually put down the hamburger she was eating and retorted angrily.

They seem quite fixated on the age-related controversy.

"Yes, yes! Index is right. Wow! Your cheeks are so adorable with your mouth full of food! I can't take it anymore, you're so cute!"

Inoue Hideka sat next to Index, turned his head to watch Index eat, and squinted his eyes to suppress a laugh as he spoke.

"Yinghua! You...you bullied me! Humph! I don't care, Yinghua has to treat me to steak, or I'm ignoring you!"

"Uh... really?"

I was just joking, was it really that serious?

I can't even support myself, why would I treat you to a meal?

"Humph!"

Index snorted coldly, ignoring Inoue Hideka, and continued to fight the stack of hamburgers on the tray in front of her, as if to say, "You figure it out yourself."

"This……"

You reap what you sow; no zuo no die?

She looked for help at Misaki Shokuhou, who was sitting opposite her with a smile on her face, seemingly watching the two clowns.

Index's burger was served first; Inoue Eika's chicken wrap and Shokuhou Misaki's pasta were not yet ready.

Therefore, only Index is currently devouring the sea swallows, while Inoue Hideka and Shokuhou Misaki are watching Index eat with admiration.

Ring ring ring~~ Ring ring ring~~

Inoue Hideka, who was hoping for Misaki Shokuhou's rescue, heard her phone ring in her pocket and took it out to look at it in confusion.

Who was looking for me at that moment?

"Hello? Editor Sawada?"

"Mr. Inoue! The music for the anime adaptation that I mentioned to you before, is it still not ready? I've been delaying the Naruto anime adaptation for a whole week because of waiting for your score. Also, when are you going to send over this week's artwork?"

"what?"

Is Naruto getting an anime adaptation?

Sheet music?

By the way, in the video I watched yesterday, Misaka sang "Only My Railgun," which means the sheet music should have been transmitted from her.

Could it be that I have some talent in music?

Write out the sheet music for "Only My Railgun" yourself, and then have Misaka sing it?

Do they also want to add original music to the Naruto anime?

Thinking to himself, Inoue Hideka said to Editor Sawada:

"Um... tomorrow! Can you send someone to my house to pick it up tomorrow night? I don't seem to be able to come very often lately."

It wasn't that it was inconvenient, but rather that Inoue Hideka had no idea where to send the items.

"Alright, since it's Mr. Kocha's request, there's no problem with it. So, the address is..."

While silently criticizing the name 'Red Tea House' in his mind, Inoue Hideka said without pausing:

"Pingtai Apartment, 5th floor, 5302. Then I'll trouble you to edit it, Sawada."

"Well, it's okay. Goodbye then."

When Inoue Hideka made the call, the food she ordered had already been delivered.

Since Index is here, it's not appropriate to ask Misaki Shokuhou about her past before she lost her memory.

After hanging up the phone, Inoue Hideka ate a chicken wrap while thinking about the manga, anime adaptation, and music, pondering how to make some more money.

This can't go on!

He can't even afford to treat Index to a meal, yet he expects a girl to pay for his transportation and treat him to dinner. It's really embarrassing.

Chapter 188 Why are arrogant people so troublesome?

"What are your plans for this afternoon, Senior Misaki?"

After finishing the two chicken wraps she had ordered, Inoue Hideka took a light sip of her cola through the straw and asked Misaki Shokuhou, who was very politely eating her spaghetti, a question.

"Although there's nothing special going on, let's go back to class. I wouldn't have skipped class if it weren't for the investigation into your matter."
