The Legend of Level 0 in Academy City

"Oh? Haha! I'm so sorry! To make amends, I specially bought the ladies some fine French red wine, Marguerite!"

With an apologetic smile, Inoue Hideka raised the two bottles of red wine in her hand.

He had truly forgotten about Saten Ruiko's request for him; buying the sake was merely to make it easier for Shokuhou Misaki to use her abilities.

"Oh? Really? I've been wanting to try wine for ages! In that case, I'll forgive you!"

"Oh~~ How wonderful it is to drink with my sister under the romantic moonlight! Ah~~ Sister, please give Kuroko this opportunity so that I can serve you well!"

Shirai Kuroko, with a suggestive blush on her face, leaned close to Misaka Mikoto and talked animatedly.

"Big sister?"

Instead of receiving the expected electric shock, Shirai Kuroko called out to Misaka Mikoto in confusion.

"Huh? Oh! Kuroko, what's wrong?"

"No...it's nothing."

Seeing Misaka Mikoto's absent-minded appearance, Shirai Kuroko recalled Kihara Ayaki's words, and her high spirits suddenly plummeted.

Hey hey~~ what's going on?

Inoue Hideka also noticed that something was wrong with Misaka Mikoto. Wasn't the wreckage incident supposed to be resolved? Why is she still like this?

Looking at Misaki Shokuhou with an inquiring gaze, Inoue Hideka felt that something must have happened when the two of them went out alone just now.

Misaki Shokuhou blinked innocently, indicating that it had nothing to do with her.

Saten Ruiko and Uiharu Kazari looked at Misaka Mikoto with some concern, not understanding what had happened.

"Alright! Now that everyone's here, let's start eating! I'll pour the drinks; we're going to have a great time tonight!"

Seeing the atmosphere growing increasingly somber, Inoue Hideka had no choice but to step in and smooth things over.

He opened the red wine bottle, then swirled it around, pouring a small glass for everyone, including the two men, Touma and Accelerator, who also received red wine.

Although Accelerator didn't like alcohol after what happened last time, he still allowed Inoue Hideka to pour him a drink at Last Order's urging.

"Come on! Cheers!"

Before they even started eating, Inoue Hideka eagerly raised his glass and addressed the group.

Misaka Mikoto's behavior was strange, and Inoue Eika was very worried.

But given the current situation, restoring memory is the most important thing.

You have no right to speak before you understand the whole picture.

Even if she regains her memories, there won't be any moments alone with Misaka Mikoto, but it's still better than having only memories of Shokuhou Misaki and Saten Ruiko.

Perhaps we can find the reason why Misaka Mikoto became like this.

Chapter 215 Inoue's Return!

"Huh? This tastes... not as good as I imagined! What do you think, Misaka-senpai?"

Saten Ruiko took a sip of red wine, smacked her lips, savored it carefully, and then expressed her feelings.

Then she saw Misaka Mikoto holding a wine glass and staring blankly, and asked her with concern.

"..."

"Big sister, Saten is talking to you..."

Shirai Kuroko helplessly waved her hand in front of Misaka Mikoto's eyes as a reminder.

"Huh? Oh! Sorry, Saten! I was just thinking about something. What did you say?"

"Haha, really? So, Misaka-senpai, how does the sake taste?"

"Hmm... this thing? I'll try it..."

He then tilted his head back and gulped down a large mouthful.

Glug~ Glug~

Like drinking a beverage.

"Ha~~ It's nothing! The taste is a little weird!"

"Hmph! You're such clueless kids when it comes to wine! You're too young to understand now! This is something that shows an adult's charm; you'll get addicted when you grow up!"

Inoue Hideka scoffed with a hint of disdain, his sharp tongue back in full force.

However, he only hoped that his venomous snake would liven up the atmosphere.

After all, that silent atmosphere just now was not pleasant at all.

"Wow! Yinghua, aren't you a child yourself? Besides, your birthday is in December. Everyone here, except for Last Order, is older than you! What's so great about you?!"

"Huh? Is Inoue-kun's birthday in December?"

When Haruharu Kazari first heard about this, she asked Saten Ruiko out of curiosity.

"Yes! That's what it says on his student ID."

"Wow! Yinghua is really young! You're not allowed to call yourself 'brother' anymore!"

Index slowly stuffed her mouth, swallowed the food in one gulp, and said to Inoue Hideka with dissatisfaction.

Um... what's going on?

While it's good to be lively and energetic, why bring up my age all of a sudden?

Even if I can't say it out loud, I'm older than every single one of you!

"Haha! Maturity can't be judged by age, can it?"

With an awkward laugh, Inoue Hideka looked to Shokuhou Misaki for help.

Misaki Shokuhou, who was initially laughing at Inoue Hidekazu, sighed helplessly after receiving Inoue Hidekazu's gaze.

"Um... I feel a little unwell, Saten-chan. May I borrow your room to rest for a while?"

"Hey? What's wrong, Shokuhou-senpai? Are you alright? It's all Eika's fault for making us drink! Humph!"

Looking at Misaki Shokuhou with concern, Saten Ruiko then turned and glared angrily at Inoue Hideka.

"It's okay, you'll be fine after a short rest."

"Okay, then! I'll help you to rest."

Saten Ruiko got up and walked over to Shokuhou Misaki, taking her arm as she walked towards her room.

Inoue Hideka looked speechlessly at Saten Ruiko, who had entered the room with Shokuhou Misaki. "Didn't you agree to let us drink? Is this my fault?"

"Hey Yinghua, aren't you going to introduce that blonde girl to me?"

Kamijou Touma sat down next to Inoue Hidekazu, nudged her arm, and whispered something.

Upon hearing this, a hint of sadness flashed in Inoue Hideka's gaze as she looked towards Saten Ruiko's room.

Ugh!

No matter how many times you experience this kind of sadness, you can never get used to it.

"Touma..."

With a helpless pat on Touma Kamijou's shoulder, Inoue Eika didn't know what to say.

Even if you say it a thousand times, he'll just turn around and forget it. Is there really any need to introduce it?

Each time she was forgotten, it was like rubbing salt into the girl's heart. What were her feelings as she repeated her name over and over again?

"Come on! Touma, let's drink until we drop today, or whoever backs down is a dog!"

"Oh! You said it yourself!"

Kamijou Touma's attention was indeed diverted, and he shouted excitedly.

"Hey! You two, if you dare to get completely drunk, I absolutely won't help you!"

As Saten Ruiko stepped out of the room, she saw two chuunibyou (delusional) teenagers about to have a drinking contest, and angrily shouted.

"Tsk! How boring!"

One-man clicked his tongue in disdain.

Shirai Kuroko looked at Misaka Mikoto thoughtfully, while Misaka Mikoto looked at Inoue Eika with a complicated expression. Uiharu Kazari, on the other hand, was worried that the middle school and high school students might get sick from drinking too much.

Index and Last Order continued to enjoy the food on the table, occasionally taking an excited sip of red wine, their faces showing longing.

"Ah... never mind her, Touma, cheers!"

"Oh! No problem!"

boom!

The two glasses clinked together with a clear, crisp sound, glug~~

Drinking a whole glass of beer like it's beer, Inoue Hideka and Kamijou Touma had no idea about the tastes of those high-class people.

No matter how high-end the wine is, it's just a drink to enhance the experience for them, so they drink it however they like!

Well……

Before she could even take a bite of food to calm her nerves, Inoue Eika received a large amount of information from Shokuhou Misaki.

My first encounter with Touma Kamijou was by chance at a supermarket, followed by drinking together, going to his house for meals every day, and the Index incident...

At the start of the school year at Sakukawa Middle School, I met Uiharu Kazari, and later I met Shirai Kuroko, and we went shopping together...

On a physical examination day, through Shirai Kuroko, along with Hatsuharu and Saten, she officially met Misaka Mikoto. Then recently, while in the training city, she was tackled by Shirai Kuroko, who was wearing incredibly alluring lingerie, and embarrassingly, she had a sexual encounter…

and many more.

Many images flashed through Inoue Hidekazu's mind.

However, there are only the memories of these three people.

Needless to say, Accelerator's abilities are completely ineffective against him, especially since Misaki Shokuhou's abilities are no match for Accelerator's.

Misaka Mikoto and Last Order both possess electrical abilities, and their bodies are protected by an electromagnetic barrier that makes it impossible for her abilities to break through.

Just as the kitten dislikes the electromagnetic waves emitted by Misaka Mikoto and her sisters, their electromagnetic barrier is also passive, released unconsciously by their bodies.
