King's Landing

"Wow!! Sister-sama! Tell me, do you have a boyfriend!?"

"Wh----!?"

Mikoto, who had finally adjusted her mentality on the way back, heard this unbelievable thing as soon as she entered the room. She sluggishly let Kuroko rush to hug her thigh with tears and nose. Frozen there.

Then after a thousandth of a second, a hateful smiling face appeared in Mikoto's mind.

With a bang, a cloud of white smoke rose from the head, and the delicate face started from the base of the neck to the base of the crystal ears, completely congested and red.

But he didn't realize that he had stepped on the landmine, and he was still crying there.

Zizi!Zi Zi Zi!

Mikoto, who could bleed on her face, squeezed her fists, her shoulders trembled lightly, and blue and white electric currents jumped between her bangs.

"Sister, do you really have a boyfriend!? You sneak out so late and ask Senior Ye Zi to cover up for you, you say! Do you want to celebrate a birthday with a male creature!? That male creature is I'm not dating my sister!?"

"You...you--"

"Wh, what? Sister-sama, what did you say!? Ah?! Difficult, sister-sir, you really—"

Heizi looked up at Mikoto with a desperate look, but what she saw was a face that turned into anger, hard to see the extreme.

"Sure enough, you big-headed ghost! You fool!! Give me a little more sober!!!"

"Uh!?"

He has realized that he wants to use Teleporter's ability to flee, but the next moment, the blue and white current instantly swallowed her whole, and in exchange, there was a shocking sound, more than killing a pig. To cry miserably.

Leizi and Chuchun, who were standing on the opposite side, were so scared that they stepped back several steps. When they saw the guy lying on the ground, covered in black and smoke, the two of them felt a sense of awe for her. Of course , More sympathy and silence.

As for self-blame, it is not at all. On the contrary, there is a trace of gloating after the success of the prank, especially in the early spring when she is often bullied by the sunspots. Despite her being so natural, there is a dark part in her heart, but this is bullying. Come out black.

"Then, that, Misaka-san, are you okay?"

"Huh~!"

Spit out a long sulking breath, and being so disturbed, the troubles in my mind were dispelled a lot, but that nasty smiling face, the figure of that bastard, and the message on the letter paper, they haunted her like a nightmare. .

"Well, it's okay, sorry, something happened on the way, so I was late."

Despite being a little impetuous, Mikoto forced herself to calm down and explained with an apologetic smile.

Hearing Mikoto's explanation, Chuchun was about to ask something, and Leizi quickly interrupted her.

"Ah! That's right, I knew Misaka-san would be fine. Yes, yes, it was exactly when Misaka-san came back. We just made apple pie, and there are cookies there. At this point in time, It just happens to be a midnight snack!"

"Apple pie and cookies?"

Mikoto, who was looking for the steps, immediately showed expectation when he heard the tears.

"Did you guys Saten make it? Great, I also bought some hot canned oden on the way here. I originally wanted to buy some snacks, but now this time... Ah? By the way, Ye Zi What? She should have come back early? Just now when she came in from the entrance, only Xuequan was sitting there. Why didn't she see her?

"Eh? Senior Ye Zi is not there? Didn't Saten classmate say that she has returned?"

Chuchun tilted his head and looked at the tears beside him.

"Ah! Yes, I'm back!"

Being stared at by Mikoto and Chuchun at the same time, tears couldn't help but see a trace of cold sweat on the palms of her hands. To be honest, she didn't even know what she was doing after returning, as if she didn't come out after entering the bathroom.

After that, it’s been so long. Generally speaking, it doesn’t take such a long time to take a bath, right?

When Tears was entangled in how to find excuses to explain, the soft sunspot lying on the ground turned his head and spoke.

"Senior Ye Zi, I seem to have gone out again after coming back, but I don’t know what happened. I was staying in the kitchen with Chuchun and the others. Student Xuequan mentioned it. She said that Senior Ye Zi received some call, and then Left in a hurry."

"What call?"

Heizi’s words obviously relieved the tears, which made the tears greatly relieved, and he secretly felt the generality. Sure enough, "sister sister", no, it should be the cousin, I will certainly not be unprepared, but at the same time of generality, She was also curious, what the hell did that cousin do again at this late hour?

But compared to the tears who knew part of Ye's truth, Mikoto and the others were truly surprised.

"Leaving in a hurry, without even having time to tell you, what phone call did Ye Zi get?"

"I don’t know. After that, I asked Xuequan, and she said she didn’t know. For this reason, I made a call. Not only Senior Ye Zi, but also my sister, I also made a lot of calls, but both of you are the same. , The phone has been turned off."

As he said, Kuroko raised his head to look at Mikoto in a grieving manner.

"Huh? Me, my phone is turned off?"

Mikoto, who had a guilty conscience, used crappy reasons to cover up, but everyone could see that her was unnatural, but no one broke it.

"Anyway, I don't care about it in advance, now we have to figure out about Ye Zi! A person rushed out so late, and apart from us and that guy, she didn't know many people in this city. ."

"Yes, will it be the kidnapping of classmate Saten last time..."

I don't know who made such a mention. Now, the hearts of everyone present, including the tears, were raised.

But at this moment, a beautiful purple figure suddenly appeared at the door of the kitchen.

"Ah? Mikoto, are you back?"
