Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki.

"Of course, my guidance to her was only to help her find the person behind Indian Poker, Ryoko Misaki."

"That's all."

In Academy City, Misaki Shokuhou is definitely the easiest person to find information besides Aleister.

No matter who you are, as long as you stand in front of her, she will see through everything about you.

"I originally wanted to handle this matter myself, but unfortunately, I've been very busy lately."

"It's not something an ordinary person can handle, so I made a small use of that brainless guy."

At this point, her anger, which had subsided, flared up again, and Misaki Shokuhou tightened her grip on Makoto Haramura's arm.

"Originally, I just wanted to make sure that Misaka-san could really solve this problem, but the person I was controlling discovered your existence."

"That's why I rushed over."

Upon hearing this, Makoto Haramura immediately raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.

"Believe me, I didn't know it was her at first either."

"It's just because this place is very close to the 18th school district, and we just heard a loud explosion."

"That's why I came to take a look, but I didn't expect that it was Misaka Mikoto here."

"But since I saw it, I just helped out. I didn't have any other thoughts about it."

Although from his perspective, he had no intention of provoking Misaka Mikoto, it is true that he did develop some intermittent bonds with her. If he said that this had nothing to do with him, then he would be too shameless.

"I know you definitely don't have that thought."

Misaki Shokuhou did not refute Makoto Haramura; instead, she nodded in agreement.

She is still willing to trust her boyfriend on this issue.

"But, regardless of what you think, in terms of the outcome, you have undoubtedly attracted Misaka Mikoto..."

“I don’t know if you’re aware of what you’re doing, but as a woman, I know very well how attractive you are to people like us.”

Misaki Shokuhou sighed softly.

Living in Academy City, no matter how ivory tower-like or naive one's daily life may seem, every ability user has suffered some form of harm in their childhood.

In more serious cases, they are sent to research institutes and treated as experimental subjects, where they may never see the sun again in their entire lives.

Less serious incidents, such as mockery and bullying, also occur from time to time.

Women are inherently more vulnerable than men and are more prone to being emotionally sensitive when faced with many things.

If at this moment, a member of the opposite sex were to descend from the sky, like a prince on a white horse, and save them from their predicament.

It's hard for a girl not to be attracted.

Even someone as outstanding as her fell head over heels for the man in front of her after that incident.

She dared to say that without Makoto Haramura, her heart would never beat again for any man in the world.

"I understand, I promise I won't do it again."

"Okay!"

Misaki Shokuhou released her grip on Makoto Haramura's hand, took two quick steps, came to face Makoto Haramura, reached out her soft hand, grasped Makoto Haramura's collar, stood on tiptoe, and gently kissed the corner of Makoto Haramura's mouth.

"I know I went a little too far."

"Just like you said, the reason I targeted Misaka-san so much before was indeed because of my own lack of strength."

"My mindset will not change, but for now, I can coexist peacefully with Misaka-san."

Just as Makoto Haramura said, she cannot trust anyone because of her lack of personal strength.

As long as a person is not under her control, even an ordinary person can easily subdue her.

Therefore, for her own safety, she must be wary of everyone.

Only by maintaining such vigilance can she stay safe.

Now that she has the power, she no longer needs to do this, and it doesn't matter if she is betrayed.

"but."

At this point, Misaki Shokuhou suddenly changed the subject, her large eyes narrowing as she stared at Makoto Haramura.

Even if my relationship with Misaka can improve, you should still be careful to keep a certain distance from her.

"Misaka-san, that's absolutely not going to happen."

"Do you understand?"

……

The moon was now in its central position, and it was already late at night.

Exhausted, Makoto Haramura returned to Koki's villa in the 18th school district.

That's right, it was with a completely exhausted body.

"I have a feeling that Xiao Qi has discovered something. Should I tell her or not?"

It had been about half an hour since he separated from Xiao Qi, and he was still sweating profusely because of what Xiao Qi had just said.

That's right, it's that line from earlier, "Misaka-san, absolutely not."

At first glance, there seems to be nothing wrong with what she said, but the problem lies in the look in Xiao Qi's eyes when she said it.

That meaningful look made him feel that Xiao Qi had already guessed something about his harem in other worlds.

In fact, he never thought that he could keep this a secret from Xiao Qi for a lifetime.

However, he was so afraid of disappointing Xiao Qi that he never dared to tell her the truth.

Now that Xiao Qi has guessed what happened, should he confess as soon as possible?

After all, there's a saying: "Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely."

Perhaps he can get lenient treatment if he turns himself in now?

On the way back, this was the only thing he was struggling with.

"Master Haramura?"

Just then, Itsuki, who was waiting for Haramura Makoto to return from inside the room, noticed Haramura Makoto pacing back and forth at the door and made a sound.

Aren't you going inside?

"Ah."

Makoto Haramura responded absentmindedly, but his eyes lit up again when he saw Itsuki.

"Wuhe, I have something I'd like to ask you. Could you keep me company for a while?"

Wu was momentarily stunned, but she still nodded.

"I don't know if there's anything you need me for, but I'll do my best."

The location was moved to the living room.

Makoto Haramura and Itsuki sat at opposite ends of the sofa, each with a cup of black tea in front of them.

There was even a plate of freshly baked cookies as a tea snack, which Itaru had just baked during the time that Haramura Makoto was away.

The cookies were baked very well, and the tea was brewed very well.

Even before you put it in your mouth, you can smell its sweet aroma just by sitting here.

Even so, neither of them made a move.

Makoto Haramura was obviously struggling with how to phrase his words and had no appetite for the food.

As for Itsuki, that's simple. She's very flustered right now, afraid that she won't be able to answer Haramura Makoto's question and will disappoint him.

"Well, it's like this."

After a long silence, Makoto Haramura finally spoke.

"There was a boy who really liked his girlfriend, but for some special reason, he also had several other female confidantes."

"His girlfriend seems to have guessed what happened, and he's torn about whether to just come out honestly."

"Do you think it's better for him to just confess directly, or to drag it out?"

"what--!"

Wu was stunned.

Her brain completely shut down; she really hadn't expected this.

She initially thought it would be some difficult question, perhaps about information on the magical side, the Anglican Church, or even the saints' combat abilities.

After all, the threat from the water behind them was imminent.

But she never expected it to be this problem.

It turns out it's an emotional issue, but...

"Your friend is undoubtedly a scumbag."

Wuhe nodded, making his judgment without any hesitation.

The question was indeed beyond her expectations, but she still had to answer it.

Upon hearing Go's answer, Makoto Haramura's lips twitched involuntarily.

“I know, so he wants to ask for an opinion now.”

He knew he had a problem, but to have it pointed out so bluntly by Wuhe was truly...

"Isn't this problem very simple?"

"He himself has already realized it."

Wu He sighed softly.

"The sooner the problem is solved, the better. The longer it drags on, the more serious it will become."

"If you confess now, there will be room for maneuver in many things."

"By the time the conflict escalates further, it will be too late to do anything."

After saying this, Gohe pushed the biscuit forward, towards Haramura Makoto, and a bright smile appeared on her face again.

“I see you’re quite tired. Why don’t you take these to your room? You can then tell your friends what I’ve said.”

Wuhe stood up and picked up his cup of black tea from the table.

"I'll go back to my room now, so I won't disturb you any longer."

Chapter 363 You should thank me.

"I never expected that Makoto Haramura-senpai would be this kind of person."

Holding her teacup, Wuhe returned to her room. Instead of going straight to bed as she had said, she sat on the balcony and looked at the moon outside the window.

Her expression at that moment was quite interesting.

He looked like he was trying to appear calm, but couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"However, if that's the case for Haramura-senpai, then I guess I should be able to... do it too?"

The girl gazed at the bright moonlight and murmured softly to herself.

The girl's secrets, which should have been kept hidden.

Given the circumstances and the reasons from before, the flame was rekindled.

……

Similarly, Makoto Haramura, upon returning to his room, naturally couldn't just rest immediately.

Like Wuhe, he placed tea and snacks on the table on the balcony and gazed up at the moonlight.

"Xiao Qi is also the stubborn type."

Don't be fooled by Misaki Shokuhou's usual appearance of being weak and out of breath after just a few steps.

This has nothing to do with her personality.

You should know that this person is a ruthless individual who dared to format his own brain in order to find meaning in his existence.
