Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki.

Misaka Mikoto's face also froze completely. After hearing Makoto Haramura's words, she was completely stiff from head to toe.

Her lips twitched uncontrollably a few times, and her eyelids twitched wildly.

After a long while, she slowly spoke.

"Are you serious?"

For the first time in her life, Misaka Mikoto, who has always been courageous and decisive, regretted what she had just said.

How to coexist peacefully with Misaki Shokuhou?

No, just imagining the scene in her mind almost made her vomit.

That vile, nonsensical woman who manipulates other people's thoughts with her abilities every day—she's an evil woman, and it's absolutely impossible for her to live peacefully with me.

And, in the end...

She never provoked that woman. It was clearly that woman who treated her like an enemy every day and was always picking on her. How could she possibly get along with that woman peacefully? What a joke.

"Don't be like that. There's a reason why Xiao Qi is like this."

"She is kind at heart."

With just a glance, Makoto Haramura already knew what was going on in Misaka Mikoto's head.

"Your mother visited Academy City some time ago."

"It was Xiao Qi who helped resolve your mother's crisis that time."

Although it was unnecessary, he suddenly felt that he still needed to ease Xiao Qi's reputation.

Let's start by improving Xiaoqi's reputation with Misaka Mikoto.

"Speaking of which, when she learned that your mother was in danger, although she was not very willing, she immediately sent her strongest men to rescue your mother and bring her to a safe place."

When Makoto Haramura said those words, Misaka Mikoto was completely stunned.

She knew about this.

After all, this incident hasn't been long, only about a week or so.

She didn't know at first that her mother was in danger, but she happened to be out running errands that night.

Suddenly, his mother appeared in front of him.

You could tell from her appearance that her mother must have gone through something. She had asked her about it, but her mother hadn't told her anything.

Only now did she realize that her mother was in mortal danger.

This life-threatening danger was resolved with the help of the woman who hated him the most.

How could she not be shocked?

“Xiao Qi experienced severe psychological trauma at a very young age.”

"Even though she is now an adult, such psychological trauma has only been slightly alleviated."

"She harbors a deep sense of wariness towards those whose thoughts she cannot directly discern."

"That's why she acted that way towards you before."

After hearing what Makoto Haramura said, Misaka Mikoto finally understood why Misaki Shokuhou always targeted her for no apparent reason.

Its own electromagnetic barrier can be said to be a natural psychological restraint on Misaki Shokuhou.

If there aren't many other ability users around Misaki Shokuhou, she could kill Misaki Shokuhou countless times in an instant.

After all, that woman is a complete idiot when it comes to sports.

He was the most restrained towards this woman, but theoretically, any Level 3 ability user, when conscious, should be able to defend against Misaki Shokuhou's control.

This is probably why there isn't a single electric user in that woman's team.

She had wondered about it before.

Throughout Academy City, it feels like a kind of law that abilities are indeed incredibly diverse. However, the most numerous abilities are those of elemental users, such as those who can generate electricity, fire, manipulate water, and control wind.

Tokiwadai Middle School, which is known for its development capabilities, has an even larger number of high-level power generators.

At first, she thought it was because of hatred towards the house and its inhabitants, but now it seems that it was a physiological rejection.

"But even if I could agree, it's always your girlfriend who's causing trouble, and I've been avoiding her most of the time."

Misaka Mikoto was also quite helpless.

She did know the reason, and she was willing to forgive Misaki Shokuhou, who had a mental illness.

They already have a mental illness, what else can we do?

But this is not something she can control.

"I know, I know."

"But this shouldn't happen again in the future."

Makoto Haramura yawned.

He wasn't the type to force anyone; he always knew that his girlfriend was just picking a fight for no reason.

There's no point in saying something that's impossible.

But that was in the past, not now.

The situation has now changed.

Xiaoqi's condition can indeed be described as a psychological illness, but in Haramura Makoto's view, it can also be categorized as a fear of one's own inadequacy.

Many people might find it strange that Misaki Shokuhou is already one of the eight strongest people in the academy on the surface.

She was even afraid because of her own lack of strength.

But isn't that the truth?

Her abilities are indeed at the level of a superhuman; if she wanted, she could control and manipulate the minds of more than a thousand people in an instant.

But no matter what, it doesn't change the fact that she is still a person who is completely powerless.

As long as she wears a device that can block her abilities, she can easily kill anyone, even someone smaller than her.

Therefore, she absolutely does not trust anyone.

Only when she can confirm with her own abilities that this person poses no threat to her can she feel at ease.

However, that was all in the past.

Xiao Qi has now undergone a complete transformation. Having merged with Gabriel's power, there are few in this world who can rival her.

With her own strength, she no longer needed to worry about betrayal from those around her.

So what if she's betrayed? Her strength is enough to sweep away all dangers.

Now, Xiaoqi probably wouldn't be so hostile towards Misaka Mikoto anymore.

He thought, "That must be it."

Yes, that's probably right.

"Really."

Misaka Mikoto sighed softly, her shoulders slumping limply.

"Since you've already put it that way, I'll make the first concession."

"The rest depends on your girlfriend."

Chapter 362 Have I had enough of my boyfriend?

"Excuse me, Misaka-san—"

A familiar voice sounded behind them. Turning around, they saw Misaki Shokuhou standing behind them with a smile on her face.

"Excuse me, has my boyfriend almost finished using it?"

"Huh? Ah, um..."

Misaka Mikoto was taken aback at first, then nodded somewhat bewilderedly.

"That would be rude."

Misaki Shokuhou smiled slightly, took Haramura Makoto's hand, and at the same time, her eyes shone with a star-like light as she looked at the brown-haired girl.

"By the way, Misaka-san, while it's not surprising to develop feelings for someone after being saved by them, I still hope you can be mindful of the time, place, and person involved..."

Especially regarding the word "object," Misaki Shokuhou seemed to emphasize it with a deeper meaning.

As soon as she finished speaking, Misaki Shokuhou immediately pulled Makoto Haramura away from the embankment, leaving Misaka Mikoto alone on the grass, slightly stunned.

It was already evening, and Misaki Shokuhou's physique was quite different from before. In just a short while, she had moved a very, very far distance away.

"I never imagined that my boyfriend would get involved with Misaka-san in just a short time I was away!"

With her hands behind her back, Misaki Shokuhou's starry eyes gleamed faintly as she stared at Makoto Haramura with an unfriendly tone.

"And you even took it upon yourself to help ease the tension between me and Misaka-san?"

"What, is my boyfriend planning to build a harem and now trying to create a harmonious relationship within it?"

"what!"

Suddenly, Makoto Haramura felt as if cold sweat had broken out on his back.

It's obvious that Xiao Qi is angry now.

The reason for his anger was obvious—the few words he had said earlier that he shouldn't have been angry.

Misaka Mikoto is her enemy, and now that her boyfriend is with her, it would be strange if she weren't angry.

However, the reason why Makoto Haramura was sweating had nothing to do with this matter.

He broke out in a cold sweat simply because of the word "harem" that Misaki Shokuhou had just mentioned. He definitely had no interest in Misaka Mikoto, but the harem thing was indeed true.

He's feeling guilty, and when you feel guilty, you're bound to be scared.

Otherwise, given his current physical condition, how could he possibly still be excreting bodily fluids like sweat?

"What are you saying? How is that possible?"

He quickly denied it twice, without any hesitation from Haramura Seiren.

Or rather, he was genuinely afraid that if he hesitated even slightly, Misaki Shokuhou would notice something amiss, and his secret, which he had kept hidden for so long, would be exposed.

"Speaking of which, Xiao Qi, how did you find out about what's going on here?"

"It's quite far from the Seventh School District."

Let's change the subject. Without a doubt, changing the subject is the best course of action at this point.

Makoto Haramura clearly understands the saying, "The more you say, the more mistakes you make."

"Humph!"

Misaki Shokuhou snorted and rolled her eyes at Makoto Haramura.

With such a clever mind, how could she not understand what Makoto Haramura was thinking at this moment?

Ultimately, however, she was still willing to consider her boyfriend's feelings. She knew that her boyfriend was indeed doing it for her own good, so she let out a long sigh of relief, twitched her nose, and decided not to pursue the matter any further.

"Of course I know. In fact, I was the one who brought this on in the first place."

Misaki Shokuhou's temper flared up quickly, but also disappeared just as quickly.

After she had released her frustration, she took the initiative to straddle Haramura Makoto's arm.

"Do you really think that without my help, Misaka Mikoto could have found out the truth about Indian Poker so quickly?"

Misaki Shokuhou curled her lip, the corners of her mouth turning up in an arrogant tone.

This was a blatant disregard for Misaka Mikoto's intelligence, a naked contempt for her intellect. Haramura Makoto's lips twitched.

It's fortunate that Misaka Mikoto wasn't here. If she were, based on that sarcastic remark alone, there would be absolutely no possibility of the two of them getting along peacefully.

After all, no one can accept being mocked for having a low IQ.

Ultimately, the brains of those who possess superpowers are capable of calculations comparable to those of supercomputers.

How could they possibly be really stupid?

Therefore, Misaki Shokuhou's description is purely sarcastic.
