The Legend of Level 0 in Academy City

"Huh? What?"

Clearly out of sorts, Inoue Hideka groggily got up from the ground and looked at Saten Ruiko, who was fully dressed but hadn't changed into her pajamas yet... with a card-like piece of paper in her hand.

The beeping sound kept coming from Misaka Mikoto on the side of the room; she, like Saten Ruiko, hadn't changed out of her pajamas yet.

Saten Ruiko's face showed an expression of dissatisfaction, anger, and reproach.

Under immense pressure, Inoue Hideka took the note from Saten Ruiko's hand and looked at it with confusion.

The note read as follows:

Big sister here... I've actually gotten lost without even realizing it!

It's all the little brother's fault. He needs to take responsibility!

Well then, I'll take the things without hesitation. Big sister will come to visit little brother again when she has the chance.

However, the older sister hopes that the place where she can reunite with her younger brother will not be a battlefield... Perhaps, a hotel would be a good place!

Wow~~ Big sister is kind of looking forward to it!

Looking at the few lines of tiny writing on the note, barely legible without careful reading, Inoue Hideka broke out in a cold sweat.

Does this woman... die if she doesn't say erotic things?

I carefully glanced at the desk, and sure enough, the shorthand manual that I had casually placed on the desk before leaving was gone.

Although I don't really care, but...

If you're going to take it, then take it! Why are you leaving a message?

There's nothing wrong with leaving a message, so why make it so ambiguous?

Most importantly, Saten Ruiko and Misaka Mikoto saw it!

What should we do now?

Inoue Hideka knew Oriana's personality; she was just being flirtatious and didn't really intend to have any impure relationship with him.

But would Saten Ruiko and Misaka Mikoto believe the explanation?

It's obvious that a normal woman would never say something like "see you at the hotel."

But what can you do when Oriana isn't a normal person?

Inoue Hidekazu's face was extremely grim as he racked his brains, trying to think of a solution.

"Oh~~ It seems there's no way to explain it! Well then, is your body ready? Come on, hehe! Take my 100,000-volt electric shock!"

While Inoue Hideka was still deep in thought, Misaka Mikoto was already close to her breaking point!

He roared as he was about to unleash the electric current surrounding his body onto Inoue Eika.

Upon seeing this, Inoue Hideka made a decisive decision and immediately abandoned her pride.

He fell to the ground with a thud, raised his hands high, and pleaded pitifully:

"I'm sorry! I was wrong! Please give me a chance to explain! Please believe my explanation! If Lady Mikoto and Lady Ruiko are willing to believe me, I am willing to kneel on a washboard to prove my innocence!"

Regardless, we should admit our mistake first.

Even if you feel you've done nothing wrong, when a woman is angry, regardless of the cause, apologizing is the quickest and easiest way to calm her down.

Whether this statement is correct or not is not up for consideration, but it is indeed the only effective way that Inoue Hidekazu knows to deal with the current situation.

"Forehead……"

"what……"

The two were momentarily stunned by Inoue Hideka's actions.

I never expected that Inoue Hideka would do something so shameless.

The two of them would never understand Inoue Hideka's feelings; he was now traumatized by Misaka Mikoto's electric shocks.

He was previously electrocuted to the point of being unable to move, which caused him to lose his dignity as a man in front of Misaki Shokuhou and Kuroko Shirai.

Today, I was almost electrocuted by Misaka Mikoto when she went berserk.

If it weren't for Saten Ruiko's timely intervention, who knows what would have happened!

I should have known that today's punishment would have been to forbid me from flirting with myself.

As Inoue Hideka lay on the ground awaiting punishment, he secretly regretted his hasty decision that day.

"Hmph! In that case, Lady Mikoto, let's hear what kind of nonsense you have to spout!"

Misaka Mikoto snorted coldly, withdrew the electric current from her body, and was the first to express her opinion.

"Hmm... Since Misaka-senpai said so, I don't mind listening."

……

After ten minutes of eloquent and persuasive explanation, with his mouth dry from speaking, Inoue Eika explained Oriana as an extremely neurotic person, Saten Ruiko and Misaka Mikoto finally managed to believe him.

call……

Inoue Hideka secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finally resolving this farcical incident.

but……

"Alright! The matter has been explained!"

Saten Ruiko looked at Inoue Hideka with a sly smile: "Kneel on the washboard!"

???

Inoue Hideka felt like she wanted to die, looking at Saten Ruiko, who was like a little devil, with a mournful face.

"No way...didn't we already explain everything? It wasn't my fault! Why do I still have to kneel on a washboard?"

"kindness??"

Saten Ruiko drew out the sound, looking at Inoue Eika with a puzzled expression.

"What are you talking about, Eika? Even if Misaka-senpai and I believe what you're saying, kneeling on a washboard isn't a punishment! It's a condition for listening to your rambling!"

Misaka Mikoto sat on the edge of the bed with her arms crossed, saying nothing. Judging from her attitude, she clearly did not object to Saten Ruiko's opinion.

Ha... it really isn't that simple after all?

Inoue Hideka sighed pessimistically, and as he walked out, he said dejectedly:

"I understand, I'll go buy a washboard right away..."

"puff!"

"puff!"

"Just kidding! Eika, go to sleep! It's late, Misaka-senpai and I need to go to sleep too!"

After her initial sneer, Saten Ruiko finally broke into a smile and urged Inoue Hideka onwards with a gentle tone.

Upon hearing this, Inoue Hideka felt relieved and finally remembered his original purpose.

Under the astonished gazes of Saten Ruiko and Misaka Mikoto, she walked to the desk, picked up a piece of toilet paper, tore off a piece, crumpled it into a ball, and lay down on the bed to plug that hateful hole.

Both Saten Ruiko and Misaka Mikoto blushed upon seeing this.

This idiot can be considerate sometimes!

Afterwards, Inoue Hideka, finally relieved to leave her own room, took a shower.

When Inoue Hideka saw the clothes neatly folded in the bathroom, she smiled gently.

Lying on the sofa, reflecting on the day's events, Inoue Hideka felt a little tired.

Since she was sleeping in the living room, Inoue Hideka did not take off her clothes to avoid any trouble.

He rested his head on the armrest of the sofa and fell asleep in no time.

……

Snapped!

It hurt; a burning sensation came from my face.

Inoue Hideka opened her eyes in surprise.

"Shh!"

Upon hearing the sound, Inoue Hideka felt pressure coming from her abdomen.

A girl with pigtails, dressed in purple pajamas, straddled Inoue Hideka's waist, her finger to her lips, whispering a warning:

"You pervert! If you dare wake up my sister and mother, I'll immediately move you 80 meters underground! Don't think you can escape in this state!"

Looking at Shirai Kuroko riding on her back, completely lacking any ladylike demeanor, Inoue Hideka forgot the pain on her face and ignored the reason for this situation.

At that moment, all he wanted to do was shout:

Where did this sister come from?!

Chapter 265 Shirai Kuroko's Mood

"So... what prompted a young girl like you to commit such a degrading and perverse act..."

After silently ranting in his mind, Inoue Hideka, suppressing a strong sense of déjà vu with his younger sister, asked Shirai Kuroko, who was still riding on top of him, with a helpless expression.

Perhaps it was because I had experienced it before, or perhaps it was because it was dark and I couldn't see clearly.

In short, Inoue Hideka was relieved that her body did not produce any embarrassing reactions.

"Humph!"

Shirai Kuroko snorted coldly, filtering out the unpleasant words in Inoue Hideka's words, and went straight to the point.

"I asked Mother, and there's no such thing as a cousin who looks exactly like my sister! She doesn't even have any recollection of Last Order. So, what's the deal with Last Order and Misaka Dori whom I met today? Don't try to fool me! Even an idiot wouldn't believe you if you said you didn't know!"

"Hmm... sneaking up to my bed in the middle of the night... no, my sofa? Cough cough! Anyway, is this the reason for doing something so shameless in such a roundabout way?"

Looking up at Shirai Kuroko, whose expression was so intense that even though she couldn't see clearly, Inoue Hideka cleverly steered the conversation elsewhere.

Inoue Hideka really didn't know how to answer Shirai Kuroko's question.

After all, her younger sisters are Misaka Mikoto's Achilles' heel, and in her opinion, the fewer people who know about them, the better.
