Inside the Western clothing store "Seventh Mist" in District 7, Yoshino, Misaka Mikoto, and others were browsing the shop.
"Eh~ I didn't expect Shirai-san to refuse Senior Misaka's invitation. I thought Shirai-san would be so excited after hearing Senior Misaka's invitation that she would forget everything else and just agree. I didn't expect her to refuse because of her Disciplinary Committee Member duties. It's quite unexpected."
She originally thought that Misaka Mikoto would just tell Shirai Kuroko, and she would happily follow along without caring about anything else.
"I didn't expect such a pervert to have some good points; she knows not to let her personal feelings interfere with her work. Shiina, I've decided that from today onwards, Shirai Kuroko is no longer a pervert in Shiina's heart. Now she's a diligent pervert."
Has anything changed about this? Everyone looked at Shiina, who was laughing heartily, with black lines on their faces. She seemed very satisfied with her decision.
"So, besides her personality needing some correction, Kuroko is actually a very good person. She was such a kind junior when we first met; when did she become like that?"
Misaka Mikoto reached out her right hand and pressed her slightly aching temple. She trained her tolerance for electric shocks every day by zapping Shirai Kuroko. The intensity of her shocks was gradually increasing, and she wondered if there would ever be a day when her electricity would have no effect on her.
She was clearly a Spatial Ability User, and she looked like such a fragile girl, so why was her resistance to electricity so strong?
Misaka Mikoto, who was inwardly complaining about Shirai Kuroko, turned around and saw Yoshino, who had been behind her all along. A few days ago, when she was wandering the streets, she heard that singing voice. If she remembered correctly, it should have been Yoshino's voice, right?
After all, for Misaka Mikoto, who had known her for a while, that gentle and adorable voice was still recognizable.
At that time, when she was reading manga at the convenience store, everyone on the entire street was attracted by the singing. Even the cars on the street stopped to listen to the beautiful music.
Now, it seems there are quite a few hidden fans of Yoshino in Academy City.
"Yoshino, what's wrong with you? Why has your face been so red since earlier? And you seem to be completely out of sorts? You almost ran into the wall just now."
As Yoshino was about to hit the wall, Misaka Mikoto grabbed her.
Yoshino's appearance was indeed very cute. Although this casual outfit was common on the streets, it had a different feeling on Yoshino.
"N-nothing, Senior Misaka. I-it's just that Yoshino isn't very used to crowded places. D-don't worry about Yoshino."
Yoshino thought of the morning scene at Misaka Mikoto's words, and her face became even redder. She waved her small hands in a panic and answered in a fluster.
She couldn't possibly say that the morning's events were too stimulating for Yoshino, which is why she was still in such a daze, could she? No way, this matter absolutely couldn't be revealed.
But you're really bad at lying, Classmate Shikino. Your panicked expression completely shows that you have something to hide.
Even if you're not used to crowded places, what does that have to do with your blushing and staring blankly until you hit a wall? However, Misaka Mikoto wasn't someone who would make things difficult for others, so she just said, "Is that so?" and didn't say anything more.
And after Yoshino entered the women's specialty store, she saw beautiful young girls everywhere.
The sight of all sorts of fancy underwear displayed everywhere made Yoshino, who still wore plain white underwear, somewhat flustered. She held Toujou Nozomi in front of her, trying not to look at those embarrassingly revealing undergarments.
"Oh, you're shy, Yoshino. Just seeing underwear makes you blush like this? Well, yes, after all, Yoshino is also pure white. This kind of underwear is still too stimulating for Yoshino." Toujou Nozomi chuckled, remembering the scene when Yoshino blushed upon seeing her underwear when they first bathed together. It was still fresh in her memory.
"Wuwuwu~" Yoshino buried her head in Toujou Nozomi's hair, letting out a cute whimper.
"Hey! Uiharu, look! Ta-da! How about this?" Saten Ruiko held up a pink lace thong for Uiharu Kazari to see. She was really looking forward to seeing Uiharu Kazari in this underwear~
"No! No! Impossible! How can I wear something like this~"
Just one glance made Uiharu Kazari's face flush with shy crimson. She waved her hands in front of her. How could she possibly wear such embarrassing clothes?
"If you wear this, even if I lift your skirt, everyone around will be able to see it openly, won't they?"
Saten Ruiko spoke her wicked plan without hesitation, looking at the shy Uiharu Kazari with a radiant smile.
"Please don't let anyone see it! Please don't lift it!" She shook her head and complained loudly. Why does she always have to lift her skirt? Don't always make her embarrassed!
However, for Saten Ruiko, lifting Uiharu Kazari's skirt was one of her daily routines. There was no room for negotiation on this matter.
"Oh, what a pity. Oh, Senior Misaka, is there anything you'd like to see?" Saten Ruiko, having finished teasing Uiharu Kazari, was now in a good mood. Indeed, teasing Uiharu was the most interesting thing.
"Eh? You're right. I'd like to look at pajamas or something." Misaka Mikoto said, lightly tapping her chin with her index finger. She happened to want to get new pajamas now.
"Ah~ Now it's that place, isn't it? Children's pajamas, right, Yoshino?"
The three of them, who had been watching the show, saw that Misaka Mikoto was going to buy pajamas now. Thinking of the children's style clothing Misaka Mikoto was eyeing, they looked at Yoshino with smiles.
"Yes, after all, although she usually acts very cool, deep down, Senior Misaka actually really likes children's items." She really is someone who never grows up, Misaka Mikoto.
"Is that so? You really found her cute side. She's a bit like Eri-ri. Do you know? Eri-ri once ate a chocolate model, thinking it was real chocolate. Although she looks cool on the outside, she's actually very childish inside."
Toujou Nozomi looked at Misaka Mikoto, who was excitedly looking at children's style pajamas but was pretending to be uninterested because of Saten Ruiko and the others nearby, and found it amusing. The similarity to Ayase Eli also included being a tsundere.
When Misaka Mikoto saw Saten Ruiko pulling Uiharu Kazari to look at underwear elsewhere, she quickly picked up the pajamas and went to the fitting mirror to compare them to herself. However, there was not only herself in the mirror but also an unexpected person.
"What are you doing, Biri-biri?" Kamijou Touma, with his hands on his hips, asked Misaka Mikoto, who looked excited. Was she shoplifting?
"It's a small world, Yoshino. They even managed to meet."
"Yes, it's a small world."
"Rather, these two have quite a fate."
Let's just enjoy the show now.
