Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki.

After all, he had just been the center of attention, like a joke, with no idea how much the woman who had been mocking and picking on him had heard.

"There's nothing surprising about me being here."

"She's planning to go out for dinner with her boyfriend next."

Upon hearing Misaka Mikoto's words, Misaki Shokuhou's already arrogant attitude became even more haughty.

What is that attitude like?

It was as if Misaki Shokuhou was showing off in front of her.

Misaka Mikoto only then belatedly looked at the person standing next to Shokuhou Misaki.

A stormy sea suddenly surged within me.

"Shokuhou, you're saying this is your boyfriend?"

She couldn't believe what she was seeing.

The superpowered queen who had many admirers at school and reigned over the entire Tokiwadai Middle School like a queen was now acting like a little bird, happily clinging to a man's arm.

More importantly, she actually has no interest in the opposite sex or handsome men.

She never chases after male celebrities or anything like that.

But even she had to admit that the man next to Misaki Shokuhou was really handsome.

It's a kind of ethereal handsomeness that makes people unconsciously focus their attention on him.

"Yes."

Misaki Shokuhou tightened her grip on Makoto Haramura's arm, almost pressing all her softness against it.

She now looked even more smug.

You should know that a woman is most sensitive to that kind of gaze.

How could she possibly miss the moment when Misaka Mikoto looked at her boyfriend and momentarily lost in thought?

However, she wouldn't get angry about such a thing.

After all, the more attention her boyfriend attracts from other women, the more it proves that she has excellent taste.

With such an outstanding man as her boyfriend, who else would be proud but her?

"Xiao Qi, I think you should introduce this classmate to me."

Feeling that ultimate softness, Makoto Haramura cleared his throat and said softly.

Although he had deduced the girl's true identity from the few words she had just spoken, he still needed to confirm it carefully, didn't he?

"Oh."

"I almost forgot about that."

Misaki Shokuhou cutely tapped her head and stuck out her tongue.

"This is my classmate Misaka from the same school. She is the third-ranked 'Railgun'."

“Mikasaka-san and I are ‘very’ good friends.”

As Misaki Shokuhou spoke, she emphasized the word "very" while glancing at Misaka Mikoto out of the corner of her eye.

"Who says I'm your friend? You're always picking on me."

Misaka Mikoto's lips twitched involuntarily; she had no idea how Shokuhou Misaki had the audacity to say they were friends.

"Hey, that was clearly a symbol of my friendliness towards Misaka-san."

Misaki Shokuhou blinked, still trying to look cute.

Although she does look very cute now.

"Anyway, Misaka-san, nice to meet you. My name is Haramura Makoto."

Makoto Haramura gave a slight bow and greeted Misaka Mikoto.

Normally, he should have reached out and greeted Misaka Mikoto, but Shokuhou Misaki had her arm firmly locked.

Therefore, this is the only way.

"oh oh--"

"Hello, I am Misaka Mikoto."

Misaka Mikoto still looked a little dazed.

She hadn't expected that Misaki Shokuhou's boyfriend would greet her in such a friendly tone.

This was truly beyond her expectations.

"And who is this young lady?"

Makoto Haramura's gaze shifted to the short girl who was still lying on the table, convulsing, and he asked with some curiosity.

Indeed, compared to Misaka Mikoto, whose identity he had already discovered, he was clearly more interested in this pervert lying on the table.

After all, he had never seen what a lily looked like in his entire life.

Judging from Misaka Mikoto's self-narration, this girl named Kuroko clearly has special feelings for her.

Isn't this a scene of lilies in full bloom?

"Kuroko."

Misaka Mikoto sent another electric current that pierced directly into her body, instantly waking her up.

"what……"

The petite girl seemed to be manipulated, launching herself from the chair and landing upright in one fluid motion.

Judging from her slightly white eyes, it seemed that she had not fully regained consciousness.

"This is Shirai Kuroko, a junior who just enrolled in school."

Misaka Mikoto replaced Shirai Kuroko in the introduction.

However, no explanation of Shirai Kuroko's abilities was provided.

That's actually the case; almost no one mentions their skill level when introducing themselves.

"Yes, Shirai-san is a member of the Misaka faction."

"She's also a Level 4 'Spatial Teleportation' ability user."

Misaka Mikoto didn't give a complete introduction, but Shokuhou Misaki came over and filled in the gaps for her.

"You really know a lot about me."

"However, Kuroko is not a member of any of my factions, and I have no interest in building my own power in the school like you do."

Chapter 165 Dating

The targeting has become more and more frequent in recent months. Normally, even if the two of them don't get along, it would only happen when they happen to run into each other.

However, in the past few months, Misaki Shokuhou has clearly been deliberately picking a fight.

Sometimes, even when it's not a class that Misaki Shokuhou should be in, she'll still see her.

But she wasn't unaware of the reason.

Misaki Shokuhou had already explained the reason.

She believed that Misaka Mikoto wanted to develop her own influence at Tokiwadai Middle School.

The problem is that she didn't mean it that way at all.

It was clearly this junior who clung to her of her own accord, so she couldn't possibly ignore the junior's good intentions just because Misaki Shokuhou minded.

If people say this, wouldn't it make it seem like Misaka Mikoto is afraid of Shokuhou Misaki?

She doesn't usually want to have conflicts just because she finds them boring, but that doesn't mean Misaki Shokuhou can rub her face in the ground.

"O...saka...student!"

Misaki Shokuhou extended her finger and gently shook it.

"Regardless of the process, the result is that Shirai-kun, this powerful ability user, has followed you."

"That has already become a fact."

"And Tokiwadai Middle School is my territory."

Misaki Shokuhou spoke each word clearly, her voice not harsh, but full of imposing presence.

If she had to describe it, she felt like a tiger ruling the mountain.

Tokiwadai Middle School is the territory she carved out; as a psychic, she is the queen of this mountain.

But what should have been her territory was now occupied by another tiger.

But she endured it.

Because this tiger did not show any aggression, although she had a good relationship with her classmates, she did not have any intention of developing her own group.

That's why she was able to spend a year peacefully with the other tiger at the beginning.

However, this year, the tiger began recruiting its own subordinates.

This was undoubtedly something that touched a nerve with her.

In particular, the one who accepted Misaka Mikoto's recruitment was a Level 4 esper.

This made it even harder for her to accept.

Let me briefly explain the rarity of highly capable individuals.

First of all, there are only eight Level 5s in the entire Academy City, which gives a glimpse into just how many high-level ability users there are.

Therefore, the number of Level 4 Abilities has never been large; statistically, the total number in the entire Academy City is only around seven hundred.

These 700 individuals must be evenly distributed among numerous schools and graduates.

Therefore, even at Tokiwadai Academy, a prestigious girls' academy that requires at least Level 3 espers to enroll, there are no more than fifty Level 4 espers.

This alone is enough to show how precious individuals with great abilities are.

"So, what kind of breed are you? You have such a strong sense of territory."

Misaka Mikoto muttered helplessly.

"sister."

As the two were exchanging barbs and hurling insults at each other, Shirai Kuroko slowly opened her dazed eyes.

First, she called out to Misaka Mikoto in a still weak voice.

Then she saw it, saw Shokuhou Misaki sitting opposite her with a smile, and was just as stunned as Misaka Mikoto.

"Shokuhou Misaki, what are you doing here?"

"We were just passing by. Anyway, we've said most of what we needed to say. Misaka-san, we have other scheduled activities to attend to."

"And so we said goodbye."

Misaki Shokuhou gracefully bid farewell to Misaka Mikoto.

It wasn't that she didn't want to continue arguing with Misaka Mikoto, but she had already seen from the watch on Haramura Makoto's wrist that it was almost time.

How could she possibly waste her time on Misaka Mikoto and interfere with her alone time with her boyfriend?

Misaka Mikoto nodded slightly.

Today, Misaki Shokuhou and she didn't go too far; she didn't mind maintaining a semblance of politeness.

"Goodbye."

The two turned and left immediately, but Shirai Kuroko's eyes almost popped out of their sockets as soon as she woke up.

"Who is that man? How come he's so close to Misaki Shokuhou?"

The fact that the two are holding hands like that clearly indicates they have more than just a normal relationship.
