Today Misaka Mikoto felt things were a little odd.
It went without saying that her relations with the other students at Tokiwadai were pretty good, but today, she could feel weird gazes from her surroundings constantly landing on herself, and for some reason, some of the gazes even seemed to contain a few traces of pity.
Misaka Mikoto: ? ? ? ? ?
Arriving at the cafeteria, she continued to feel gazes directed at her from every direction. This caused question marks to unwittingly pop into existence above her head. ......What is happening ?
The maid student who was exchanging a few words with Misaka saw her at-a-loss expression. She mistakenly believed Misaka had been dealt an overly serious mental blow, so she quickly offered up some words of comfort: “Misaka-sama, you don’t have to be so worried, it’s likely just a misunderstanding.” Hearing these words, Mikoto just became even more confused. What misunderstanding?
“Is something going on?” Misaka furrowed her brow, looking at the maid student with some puzzlement. The maid student’s face became instantly full of shock: “Mi… Misaka-sama, you don’t know?” Misaka Mikoto nodded in response, then seeing how the maid student’s face flashed through with a flurry of hesitation, she also pursed her lips.
“It’s okay, just tell me directly.”
“...So basically…”
“...So basically, Shirai-san and Hokaze-san today were seen together walking around campus very closely and very intimately… they were all smiles and laughter with one another…”
“......?” Above Misaka Mikoto’s head appeared countless more question marks.
Hokaze Junko?? Wasn’t that the student who also liked Gekota, Shokuhou Misaki’s confidante, her clique’s second in command?????
Why was Kuroko…
Instantly, Misaka Mikoto’s expression darkened a tad.

“So exactly how intimate did you say they were being again?” Misaka Mikoto smiled as she looked at the maid student, her voice very gentle, but at the same time, her smile did not at all reach her eyes.
The maid student fearfully took out her phone, clicked into the latest hottest forum, clicked open a few images—
Misaka Mikoto: ......
Misaka Mikoto’s gaze moved upwards 3CM—
“Shocking! The Queen and Misaka-sama’s second in commands are actually having an affair! Could this be—[omitted, not shown]”
Misaka Mikoto nodded. “Thank you.” Then, with a still darkened face, she left without looking back once.

Returning to the dorm, as usual the first thing she had to field was an extremely enthusiastic pounce: “Onee-sama is back~!” After the pounce’s success, Shirai Kuroko carefully braced herself for Misaka Mikoto’s electrical attack, but 5s later, nothing happened .
? Shirai Kuroko looked up with some puzzlement, and the expression that she saw on Misaka Mikoto’s darkened face was not one of disgust or annoyance, but genuine anger.
...Shirai Kuroko very wisely backed up a couple steps. Cautiously, she asked, “Is Onee-sama not in a good mood today?”
Misaka Mikoto did not answer and walked further into the dormitory.
Oh crap, it’s probably because of me.
Shirai Kuroko racked her brain to try to figure out exactly how she had offended Misaka Mikoto this time around, but completely did not think in the direction of jealousy—after all, how could Onee-sama be jealous because of her……. (humble.jpg)
Misaka Mikoto knew that she had no good reason to be angry, even if Kuroko was close to other students, even if she was so intimate with them, she had no right to be angry. So what if the other party was one of Shokuhou Misaki’s people, so what, she had also talked to Hokaze Junko before in the past, and on the whole, she thought that Hokaze was still much better than Shokuhou. [Shokuhou Misaki:?????]
...But why was she so angry.
Misaka Mikoto did not want herself to be this unreasonable, but the simple matter was she also just did not want to talk to Shirai Kuroko.
Shirai Kuroko carefully approached her. “Onee-sama… What’s wrong… Did Kuroko I… Did I recently do something to make you upset…”
When Misaka Mikoto heard this, her heart softened the greater half a part, but she still looked at the person opposing her with incredible resentment.
Shirai Kuroko became more scared.
“Onee-sama, Kuroko is not someone who can't admit when she’s made a mistake, so if there’s something that I did to make you unhappy, please just say it!"
Misaka Mikoto raised her head, the color of her expression improving a little. She closed her eyes and pursed her lips, as if stewing in what to say, then spat out the words—
“What... exactly is your relationship with that Hokaze Junko?”
Shirai Kuroko froze for a good moment, then hurriedly explained the “ghost” happening from beginning to end.
“......”
Misaka Mikoto, who now understood the context of the situation, felt so guilty that she reached out and patted Kuroko's shoulder. "Ahem, I’m sorry Kuroko! I shouldn't have treated you with such a poor attitude.”
But she didn’t expect Kuroko’s mood to change in a split second, twin flashes of light beaming from her eyes, ready to attack—the very next second she was pouncing—
"Onee-sama was actually...... jealous because of Kuroko......! What a wonderful surprise......! Tonight, let Kuroko serve ♀ Onee-sama well as a comfort! ! !”
five seconds later
An arc of electric blue light cut through the night’s darkness.
That night, those two’s thoughts before sleeping:
Misaka Mikoto: I-I-I-I-I was definitely not jealous! ! !
Shirai Kuroko: [Wild dancing] [Intense♀fantasy] [Crazy joy]
