The Legend of Level 0 in Academy City

She looks so cute, I just want to keep teasing her!

But... no!

Now is not the time!

Silently admonishing herself, Inoue Hideka took two steps forward, walked to Misaka Mikoto's side, placed her hand on Misaka Mikoto's hair, and gently rubbed her soft hair.

A tiny electric current tingled in his wrist; it was very weak and didn't hurt.

It wasn't numb, just itchy, and a little comfortable.

"Alright, Mikoto. Let's talk about this later. I need to find out first: are you angry because of that playing card?"

Although there were some speculations, Inoue Hideka believed that even if Misaka Mikoto had seen the contents of the Indian Poker game, she would at most feel ashamed and indignant.

Moreover, the object of his shame and indignation would certainly only be himself; he would not vent his anger on irrelevant people, much less indiscriminately.

Therefore, there may be other contributing factors.

"This is very important, otherwise it will be difficult for me to defend you in front of my subordinates! Tell me what exactly happened, okay?"

"kindness……"

Misaka Mikoto snorted, and the electric current on her forehead gradually faded under Inoue Eika's touch.

Without running away or hiding, Misaka Mikoto simply enjoyed Inoue Hideka's comforting words.

She knew it was her fault, and she also knew that Inoue Hideka was protecting her, protecting this little girl who had done something wrong out of impulse.

She was more embarrassed than angry about the Indian poker incident.

Looking back, the reason that idiot would have those Indian poker cards was because he liked her, wasn't it?

It's probably because of her proud and reserved personality that she expresses her anger in an amplified way.

Therefore, even though it was difficult to say and she was extremely shy, she tried her best to think of words to describe the cause of the misunderstanding clearly.

Can……

After pondering for a long time, her face turned bright red, but she still couldn't figure out how to express herself.

"Well……"

Ahhhhh!

Misaka Mikoto, you're supposed to be a Railgun! How can you be so useless!

I just don't want to see that idiot getting involved with other girls, why can't I just say it!

Chapter 305 How can we celebrate a holiday without giving out candy?

"Mikoto..."

Looking at the excessively flustered Misaka Mikoto, Inoue Eika called out with heartache.

When will her arrogant personality soften a bit?

"kindness."

Unwilling to accept it, yet feeling utterly helpless about her own personality, Misaka Mikoto, who was already starting to get nervous, heard Inoue Eika's call and weakly responded with her head down.

"Mikoto..."

Inoue Eika called out softly again, and when Misaka Mikoto looked up in confusion, he slowly lowered his head and, under Misaka Mikoto's surprised gaze, kissed her luscious red lips.

"How……"

Misaka Mikoto looked terrified and tried to speak.

However, she only managed to utter one byte before Inoue Eika silenced her with a kiss.

"kindness……"

Her mouth was pried open by a gentle force, followed by the sensation of being licked by a soft, foreign object. Misaka Mikoto couldn't help but moan.

However, Inoue Hideka was not affected by the voice emitted by Misaka Mikoto.

From the initial light kiss, to supporting the back of Misaka Mikoto's head when she instinctively struggled, holding her still to prevent her from struggling, and enduring the tiny electric currents that ran through Misaka Mikoto's forehead due to shyness and unease, he gradually deepened the kiss.

Then, he used his tongue to capture Misaka Mikoto's unruly tongue tip, intertwining and licking it.

Gradually, Misaka Mikoto's struggling body quieted down.

My mind went blank, and I could only feel strange sensations that started in my mouth and gradually spread throughout my body.

Immersed, lost.

All her thoughts slowly drifted into this unexpected kiss.

After Misaka Mikoto stopped struggling, Inoue Hideka slowly moved her hand down from the back of Misaka Mikoto's head to her slender waist and gently tied it up.

He lifted Misaka Mikoto's entire body into his arms.

Then, he held her waist tightly, almost wanting to melt her delicate body into his own.

Their lips, pressed together, pressed even harder, drawing ever closer.

They sucked, entangled, and fused together.

During this time, some grassroots staff members came out of the office to go to the toilet, but after seeing the minister passionately kissing the 'invading' girl in the corridor, they timidly retreated.

……

"Ha ha ha idiot, you moron~~"

For a long time, the lips are divided.

Misaka Mikoto leaned against Inoue Eika's chest, her face flushed, breathing heavily.

The word "idiot" that came out of her mouth was less of a sign of disdain than a sign of coquetry.

Her body, like her weak and powerless voice, leaned against Inoue Eika, supported entirely by Inoue Eika's hands around her waist.

"What are you doing? Hah! You bastard! Don't you even know what shame is?"

"hey-hey!"

Inoue Eika leaned against the corridor wall, her arms wrapped around Misaka Mikoto, her chin resting on her shoulder, and she whispered with a wicked smile in her ear:

"What are you doing? Mikoto, I'm trying to help you! Today... I'm going to cure your tsundere tendencies!"

"W-What?! You bastard!"

Upon hearing Inoue Hideka's words, Misaka Mikoto suddenly nudged Inoue Hideka with her elbow in anger, making a move to struggle out of Inoue Hideka's arms.

"Mikoto, stop fooling around."

He pulled Misaka Mikoto back into his arms with increased force, and spoke gently to her:

"Hey, Mikoto, I think if I didn't know your personality, I might have yelled at you today, don't you think?"

"Well……"

Misaka Mikoto was forcefully pulled back by Inoue Eika. After struggling for a while without success, she gave up with a red face.

Upon hearing Inoue Eika's words, she only stammered, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Knowing that Misaka Mikoto's lack of objection meant her consent, Inoue Eika continued:

"If I get angry at Mikoto, even if she doesn't say it, she'll definitely feel terrible inside. She can probably guess that she'll think I don't care about her, right?"

"Hmph! So what?"

Misaka Mikoto gave a dismissive snort.

"And then what? Did Mikoto and I start misunderstanding each other? Given Mikoto's personality, can you guarantee there won't be any more misunderstandings in the future?"

"I……"

Before Misaka Mikoto could finish speaking, Inoue Eika interrupted her and continued:

　"In that case, misunderstandings will slowly accumulate and build up until one day, one of them can no longer bear it and explodes completely. In the end, Mikoto and I will definitely be unable to get along anymore, right?"

Inoue Hideka paused here, waiting for Misaka Mikoto's response.

"..."

But Misaka Mikoto fell silent and did not speak.

Although she is young and inexperienced, it doesn't mean she can't understand what Inoue Hideka meant.

She knew that if she followed Inoue Hideka's advice and didn't change her personality, and since Inoue Hideka didn't understand her situation, things would most likely develop as Inoue Hideka suggested.

Ultimately, it escalated to the point where the two could no longer get along.

That wasn't the outcome she wanted, but she couldn't argue with it, so she could only remain silent.

“Since Mikoto isn’t saying anything, I’ll take that as her agreement. So, Mikoto, in front of other people… could you perhaps tone down your personality a little? Of course, when it’s just the two of us, anything goes! I’m willing to indulge Mikoto however I want! But…”

"Fool!"

Misaka Mikoto suddenly interrupted Inoue Hideka, saying impatiently:

"I know, I know! Stop nagging like an old woman! It's utterly stupid!"

"kindness!"

Inoue Hideka nodded happily and continued to patiently guide him:

"In that case, Misaka, can you tell me why you were angry before?"

"Well!"

Returning to the question, Misaka Mikoto still felt her heart skip a beat.

Thinking of the promise he had just made, he struggled to suppress the strange feeling in his heart and stammered:

"It's all your fault, you bastard! You didn't tell me anything! I suspected this place wasn't legitimate last time, and then you saw those disgusting playing cards again, and then you inexplicably showed up in this suspicious place. Of course I'm angry! Who knows if you're doing the same thing as in those playing cards! Bastard!!"

While speaking angrily, Misaka Mikoto punched Inoue Hideka's abdomen again.

"Oh!"

Inoue Hideka feigned a cry of pain before suddenly realizing what was happening and said:

"So that's how it is! Okay, it was definitely my fault. I was too thirsty, too eager for Mikoto, too impatient... Ah!!"
