The Legend of Level 0 in Academy City

"Ha! Okay then!"

Inoue Hideka sighed helplessly, took out his bank card from his pocket and handed it to Ueno Rei.

"Bring Akiyama and Yuki along too. They're not comfortable eating with me anyway, so they might as well come with you."

With the matter settled, all that's left is to wait for news from Chao'an. Inoue Eika can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

This is a good opportunity to get together with my closest friends and family, such as Misaka Mikoto, Saten Ruiko, and Kamijou Touma.

If Aleister doesn't agree when news actually arrives from Chao'an, that's fine. But if Aleister does agree, Inoue Hideka won't just sit idly by.

At that point, the only options left are to fight to the death or seek help from other council members to jointly bring down Chao'an.

Chapter 311 What kind of sexual orientation is normal?

The midday sun shone through the window into the ward.

Misaka Hakukoto leaned against the hospital bed, her expressionless face revealing a pair of slightly worried eyes that blinked as she stared at Shirai Kuroko, who was excitedly packing her things.

Shirai Kuroko's injuries were relatively minor compared to hers, so she will be discharged from the hospital before noon today.

Misaka Hakukoto can still vividly recall the scene of Shirai Kuroko waking up early this morning, excitedly shouting, "Onee-sama, Kuroko, I'm coming back right away!" and rushing out of the ward to complete the discharge procedures.

Of course, Shirai Kuroko did not leave immediately after completing the discharge procedures.

When she returned, she also brought breakfast for Misaka Hakukoto. After the two finished eating breakfast together, Shirai Kuroko packed her things while contacting a colleague who seemed to be a member of the Disciplinary Committee, apparently investigating something.

Due to procrastination, it has dragged on until now.

Misaka Hakukoto could probably guess some of this.

Originally, Shirai Kuroko had no intention of being hospitalized; she planned to investigate the events of that day directly.

However, Misaka Mikoto stopped her, and Inoue Eika also seemed to have said something to Shirai Kuroko, which dispelled Shirai Kuroko's impulse to immediately go out and investigate.

She probably wants to find out the truth as soon as she is discharged from the hospital, which is why she asked her colleagues to send her some information in advance.

Misaka Hakukoto guessed this, but didn't ask any questions. She just stared blankly at Shirai Kuroko.

After finishing breakfast, Misaka Hakukoto didn't speak again, not uttering a single word.

Of course, Shirai Kuroko didn't ask her anything either.

However, Misaka Hakuko's silence was not because she didn't want to talk to Shirai Kuroko, nor was it because she was sulking because she had a disagreement with Shirai Kuroko.

At the same time, it wasn't because she was willing to part ways with Shirai Kuroko.

On the contrary, it is precisely because of reluctance.

Because she was reluctant to part with him, and because she wasn't good at expressing her feelings, she didn't know what to say.

So she just sat there, leaning back on the hospital bed, watching expressionlessly as Shirai Kuroko slowly packed her things, getting closer and closer to the time when she would leave.

She was powerless to stop it, had no way to stop it, and had no reason to stop it.

Originally, she was a lost girl who was saved by Shirai Kuroko.

Originally, she had no connection with Shirai Kuroko.

From the beginning, the two were not very close.

The only connection they share is probably their older sister.

So, now that Shirai Kuroko wants to return to her sister's side, what grounds does she have to stop her?

"Phew! Finally all done!"

Shirai Kuroko stayed here for almost two days. Although she didn't have many daily necessities, they filled the backpack she kept on the bed.

In high spirits, Shirai Kuroko even carefully folded the blankets on the hospital bed.

After doing all this, she looked at Misaka Hakukoto with some concern and asked:

"Do you need me to buy you some lunch?"

After saying that, she muttered to herself, still dissatisfied, "Honestly! You have so many younger sisters, don't you? Why hasn't a single one come to visit you?"

Hearing Shirai Kuroko's muttered words, Misaka Hakuko felt a little guilty and shifted her gaze to the side, no longer daring to stare directly at Shirai Kuroko.

It wasn't that her younger sister didn't come to visit, but rather that Misaka Hakukoto had specifically instructed online that no one was allowed to disturb her and Shirai Kuroko's time alone together.

Of course, she wouldn't tell Shirai Kuroko about this.

Misaka Hakukoto glanced cautiously at Shirai Kuroko, who seemed oblivious to her unusual behavior, and said calmly:

“If Shirai is willing to stay and have lunch with Misaka, Misaka would really like Shirai to bring her a lunch.” Misaka insisted, even though she knew Shirai was eager to go back to see her sister.

"Hmm...I see."

After a moment's thought, Shirai Kuroko said something to Misaka Hakuko and then vanished from the hospital room in a flash.

Misaka Hakukoto did not try to stop her, because she keenly noticed that Shirai Kuroko's backpack on the bed was still there.

About five minutes later, Shirai Kuroko reappeared in the ward with a bento box in her hand.

Yes, one serving.

Placing the bento box on the bedside table next to Misaka Shiroko's bed, Shirai Kuroko touched the backpack on the bed and said apologetically:

"I'm so sorry, I have other things to do and can't have lunch with you. Well then, goodbye, Baiqin!"

"……etc"

whoosh-

Misaka Hakukoto reached out halfway, but Shirai Kuroko had already disappeared from the room. This time, her backpack, which she had packed earlier, also vanished along with her.

The already dull eyes instantly dimmed.

His outstretched arm slowly drooped down and lay limply on the hospital bed.

What are the feelings in my heart?

This time, Misaka Hakukonojo learned on her own, but it was a bitter and disappointing experience.

Experiencing the flavor firsthand, she understood it almost instantly.

After a long silence, the girl's clear voice rang out again in the small ward.

"This is Misaka Hakukoto, this is Misaka Hakukoto. Is Dolly here? Do," Misaka called out urgently.

"Dolly, Misaka... Misaka wants to join the Disciplinary Committee. Can Dolly... help Misaka overcome the obstacles? Dolly, Misaka knows it will be difficult, but she still stubbornly makes this request."

------

After leaving the ward, Shirai Kuroko did not teleport very far.

She simply went to the corridor outside the ward.

Clutching his backpack, he leaned against the wall.

She learned a lot during the two days she spent with Misaka Hakukoto.

Misaka Hakukoto told her about her sister's current situation.

This includes how many of the younger sisters survived, how they survived, and everything that Misaka Mikoto, Inoue Hideka, Shokuhou Misaki, and Accelerator did and everything they knew.

Perhaps the impact of the experiment was too great, or perhaps Misaka Hakuko has changed my temperament these past two days.

Shirai Kuroko was somewhat confused.

She used to admire Misaka Mikoto, but she never really stopped to seriously consider what kind of feelings she had for Misaka Mikoto.

However, I felt that the figure exuded a strange attraction, and I couldn't help but move closer to her whenever I saw her.

Now, at this point in time, Shirai Kuroko is trying for the first time to figure out how she feels about Misaka Mikoto.

She wanted to figure out if it was love, and whether her sexual orientation was normal or abnormal.

However, although she was confused, she wasn't so confused that she went crazy.

She could vaguely sense that Misaka Hakukoto seemed to have different feelings for her.

At least, it didn't seem like the kind of relationship between girls, nor did it seem like the kind of feeling a rescued person should have towards their benefactor.

She couldn't explain it clearly yet.

After all, she's only 13 years old, a first-year junior high school student. How could she possibly know everything?

------

While pondering the necessary preparations to deal with Shiogishi, Inoue Eika led Kamijou Touma, Misaka Mikoto, and Saten Ruiko out of the Moqing Building.

If possible, Inoue Hideka really doesn't want to confront Shiogishi right now.

But if things really escalate to the point where war is inevitable, Inoue Eika will definitely not back down. At worst, she will fight the council to the death, and then take Misaka Mikoto and Saten Ruiko to find a secluded paradise to hide in.

However, these are all far-fetched statements.

Inoue Hideka, who was the first to emerge from the Moqing Building, is now facing a new crisis.

A familiar figure suddenly appears before your eyes with a powerful presence—

Under the midday sun, reflecting a golden light, the petite figure waiting at the bus stop not far from the Moqing Building seemed to be... Misaki Shokuhou?

Chapter 312 Please Give Her Another Complete Memory

"Huh???"

Immediately after Inoue Eika, Misaka Mikoto, who was exceptionally sensitive to the scent of her 'prey', also spotted her nemesis's familiar figure and looked in surprise toward the bus stop not far away.

"Oh, isn't that... Shokuhou-senpai?"

Saten Ruiko followed their gaze and said with delight.

Perhaps sensing that Misaki Shokuhou hadn't noticed them, Ruiko Saten waved happily and shouted into the distance:

"Shokuhou-senpai! Over here!!"

"Uh... Tears..."

Just moments ago, Misaka Mikoto mentioned her relationship with Shokuhou Misaki, and now another person involved has appeared. Inoue Eika was anxiously thinking about how to smoothly cover it up when Saten Ruiko actually called her over.

Inoue Hideka was speechless at his lively prospective girlfriend.
