The Legend of Level 0 in Academy City

One minute later.

The time was neither long nor short.

Inoue Hideka didn't know how she ended up in this state.

Saten Ruiko lay flat on the ground, her kimono somewhat disheveled, and the white undergarment beneath it could be seen through the open neckline.

Inoue Hideka, lost in passion, groped Saten Ruiko's body.

The September nights were already a bit chilly. When Inoue Hideka's hand slipped along the collar of her kimono and touched the slightly cool skin exposed to the air, she suddenly woke up.

At this time... no!

Now is not the right time.

If I really do it here, putting aside the disrespect towards Ruiko, how am I going to get past Mikoto?

Thinking of this, Inoue Hideka helped Saten Ruiko straighten her clothes, pulled her up from the ground, and said apologetically:

"I'm sorry, Ruiko, I'm not only a scumbag, but also..."

Suddenly, Saten Ruiko's fingers pressed against his lips, and Inoue Eika looked at Saten Ruiko in confusion.

"Whether she's scum or a beast, if Eika dares to abandon either me or Misaka-senpai, I will definitely not forgive her!"

"Tears..."

Faced with Saten Ruiko's demeanor, Inoue Eika was at a loss for words.

"Alright! I've been wanting to say this for a while now, Yinghua, when did you become so sentimental! Hurry up and sit over there, I want to enjoy the night view!"

Saten Ruiko, her face slightly flushed, didn't mention Inoue Eika's previous loss of control. She simply pushed Inoue Eika forcefully under the tree and then slammed her to the ground.

While spreading the clothes that Inoue Eika had previously placed on the ground back in front of him, she glared at Inoue Eika with displeasure.

"And another thing! If Yinghua dares to say anything weird again and ruin my mood for enjoying the night view, I'll make you pay! Humph!"

And so, he casually sat in Inoue Hideka's lap, looking at the Academy City with its towering buildings illuminated by neon lights in the distance, and the fireworks that occasionally bloomed in the sky, without saying a word.

Inoue Eika simply yielded to Saten Ruiko's strength and let her do as she pleased, without struggling.

His face showed a mixture of amusement and exasperation, and he shook his head helplessly.

Why do I always feel like it's not me trying to win over Ruiko, but rather Ruiko trying to win me over?

He always felt that he was being led by the nose by Saten Ruiko.

The saying goes that everything has its counter, but Saten Ruiko doesn't seem to fit that rule.

She must have reached the point where she can subdue everything, right?

Thinking this, Inoue Eika put aside the guilt and self-blame that had flashed through her mind earlier, hugged Saten Ruiko in her arms again, and whispered something in her ear—

"Thank you... Tear."

Saten Ruiko didn't speak, and Inoue Eika didn't know if she hadn't heard her, but it wasn't important.

As before, he rested his head on Saten Ruiko's shoulder and looked at Academy City under the night sky with her.

The surroundings were very quiet, without any noise, except for one or two unpleasant but not disturbing insect chirps from time to time.

A warm feeling gradually enveloped them, and neither of them spoke.

Just like the first time I came here, I quietly admired the scenery.

However, the two were back to back at the time.

Now, our hearts are touching.

------

When Inoue Hideka and Saten Ruiko returned home, the others had already arrived.

With Saten Ruiko, the head of the household responsible for the bed, no longer around, Accelerator and Last Order are clearly unable to handle this situation.

Therefore, Misaka Mikoto and the others sat in the living room watching TV out of boredom.

As for how he got in without a key?

Please do not overestimate Shirai Kuroko's integrity in this regard.

When Saten Ruiko saw the people in the living room, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

After all, in a sense, it was a neglect of the guests.

I frantically began to deal with this important matter of sleep.

Inoue Hideka looked at Saten Ruiko with a black line on her forehead, and it seemed that she didn't plan to give herself a pillow.

With a heavy sigh, Inoue Hideka turned and left, intending to go to Kamijou Touma's house for some comfort.

Of course, the main reason was that my best friend's parents were here, but it didn't seem appropriate for me to show up.

In the evening, while the ladies were changing clothes, Inoue Hideka called Kamijou Touma.

Only after confirming that he was not injured and resolving the incident did Inoue Hideka feel relieved.

First, I went to the convenience store downstairs and bought some gifts.

One should not visit elders empty-handed, and as a Chinese, Inoue Hideka has well inherited this fine tradition.

Since there wasn't enough time, and Inoue Eika couldn't carefully select the fruit, she simply bought a lot of fruit and knocked on Kamijou Touma's door with bags of them.

Knock knock knock!

Click...

"Oh, Yinghua! Come in quickly!"

It was Touma Kamijou who opened the door.

Inoue Hideka slipped inside and handed the fruit to Kamijou Touma.

It wasn't late, and the Kamijou family was still awake, sitting cozy in the living room watching TV.

Upon seeing Inoue Eika enter, Kamijou Touya spoke first:

"Long time no see, Yinghua!"

"What do you mean 'long time no see'? It was only last month! Mr. Daoye, that's rather rude of you to say that! By the way, Yinghua, how are you feeling? It seemed like you had some problems when we parted last time..."

Kamijou Shina glanced at Kamijou Touya with displeasure, then turned to look at Inoue Hideka with concern.

"Thank you for your concern, Auntie. As you can see, I am much better now."

Inoue Hideka spoke to Kamijou Shina with unusual politeness, but in reality, she was thinking the following:

Saying it was last month isn't entirely accurate; it should be said that this was our first meeting.

According to Touma Kamijou's memories, Eika Inoue knows that when she last met the Kamijou couple, it wasn't her own personality that occupied the body, but rather Michael's.

"As expected, Yinghua only acts like a junior at times like this..."

Touma Kamijou's resentment is probably quite strong; he's already voiced his inner thoughts, though he doesn't seem to realize it yet.

Upon hearing this, Inoue Hideka remained expressionless, but in her heart, she marked Kamijou Touma.

A gentleman takes his revenge even after ten years. Hmph~~ Kamijou, we'll see.

Index was focused on watching TV and didn't react at all to Inoue Eika's arrival. It was safe to say that she hadn't yet noticed the fruit Inoue Eika had brought.

Of course, Shina Kamijou heard her son's complaints. She glanced at Touma Kamijou with displeasure before beckoning Eika Inoue to sit down and then got up to go to the kitchen to make tea.

……

After sitting for half an hour, Inoue Hideka and the Kamijou couple had a very pleasant chat.

The couple also liked this polite, respectful, and respectful young man very much, and were very kind to Inoue Hideka.

Upon hearing that the house was purchased for his son by the young man in front of him, he hurriedly tried to return the money to Inoue Hideka.

However, after Inoue Eika explained his financial situation and repeatedly refused, the couple finally compromised.

However, he became even more affectionate towards Inoue Hidekazu, as if he were treating Inoue Hidekazu like another son.

Finally, after being warmly seen off by the Kamijou couple, Inoue Eika returned to her own home. Looking at the situation in the living room, she suddenly thought of accepting the Kamijou couple's earlier suggestion to stay overnight.

But it was just a thought. Touma's house had three bedrooms and a living room. Touma and his wife lived in one room, and Index lived in another. Was he going to have to share a bed with Touma?

Ugh……

After sighing, Inoue Eika slumped onto the sofa in despair.

The sounds of Misaka Mikoto and Saten Ruiko's laughter came from her room.

It seems that Mikoto's mother and Shirai are staying in Ruiko's room.

As Inoue Hideka pondered this, she overheard Saten Ruiko and Misaka Mikoto talking about changing into pajamas, and suddenly remembered something terrifying.

That is--

My room is connected to Accelerator's room, and there is a hole in the wall between us that Accelerator made with his ability!

Chapter 264 Where did my sister come from?!

Of course, Inoue Hideka wouldn't think that Accelerator would spy on girls changing clothes.

The key issue is that both of their beds are against the wall, separated only by a wall.

There's also a hole at the head of the bed that's bigger than a finger. If Accelerator lies on his side facing the wall, he can accidentally see into the next room without even trying.

Feeling increasingly alarmed by the situation, Inoue Hideka suddenly jumped up from the sofa and rushed to her room.

only……

I rushed to the door, and before I could even knock with all my might, the door suddenly opened.

Instantly, Inoue Hideka fell face-first to the ground.

boom!

At the critical moment, Inoue Hideka's reflexes kicked in, and he braced himself with his palms on the ground, preventing his nose from kissing the earth.

Embarrassed, Inoue Hideka lay on the ground in fear when Saten Ruiko's angry roar reached her ears.

"Yinghua!! You better explain to me who this so-called 'big sister' is! And what's this 'reunion at the hotel' thing?!"
