In Academy City, the Paradise Project begins.

She lowered her voice, her eyes filled with inquiry: "Fanfeng, are you... following them?"

She gestured forward with her lips.

Junko Homikaze, clutching her phone, nodded hastily, but secretly felt relieved.

If Mikoto were to suddenly ask, "What did you and Higashino do in the infirmary just now?", she would probably be so frightened that she would immediately kneel down and beg for forgiveness.

Although it was obvious that the girl was at a disadvantage in that situation, Runzi just felt that it was all her fault.

If she hadn't deliberately feigned illness to lure Higashino there, and then accidentally fallen down, inadvertently seizing Higashino's future, things would never have turned out that way.

"Um...I...I'm just worried...um, I'm worried about Her Majesty..."

Her eyes darted away, avoiding Mikoto's sharp gaze, her face flushed with embarrassment.

Mikoto didn't think Junko's reaction was abnormal, and was about to ask "What are you worried about?" when suddenly...

"Big Sister~~~!!!"

A familiar voice, tinged with a perverse undertone, rang out behind her.

Mikoto felt a jolt run through her body, her scalp tingling! That familiar voice, that special way of addressing her!

Before she could even think, her body's instincts kicked in faster than her brain. *Zzzzt!* A blue-white arc of electricity erupted from her body, striking with pinpoint accuracy the pink-haired figure behind her who was spreading her arms, ready to pounce and embrace her.

"Uhhhhh-!"

Shirai Kuroko felt a tremendous electric current surge through her body, freezing her in place and causing her to let out a muffled groan of pain or perhaps pleasure, her attack abruptly halted.

"Ugh... Ugh!"

Junko Hokkaido reacted extremely quickly. Before Kuroko's screams could attract more attention, she stepped forward and covered Kuroko's mouth, silencing any potentially louder or more grotesque sounds she might make.

Mikoto suddenly turned around and looked at Kuroko, who was frozen in shock from her electric shock, had her mouth tightly covered by Hohatsu, and was rolling her eyes with an expression that said, "Why is my sister so cruel?" Mikoto was both angry and embarrassed.

"Hei Zi! How come you always appear and disappear like a ghost!"

Mikoto lowered her voice and said angrily, "If Junko hadn't reacted quickly, the two people in the distance would definitely have heard the sound that Kuroko made just now."

When they find out that she was actually following them, Mikoto can already imagine herself awkwardly digging a three-bedroom apartment out of the ground.

"You almost got us exposed!"

Junko Hokaze also released her grip with lingering fear. Kuroko collapsed to the ground with a thud, wisps of smoke rising from her body. She muttered resentfully, "Sister... Sister... the electric shock of love... Kuroko... felt it..."

Mikoto's forehead bulged with a tic-tac-toe expression as she clenched her fist: "You bastard..."

Kuroko shook her still-numb head, struggled to her feet, ignoring her disheveled appearance, her eyes instantly locking onto Higashino Yu's retreating figure in the distance. She immediately adopted a gritted-teeth, bitter-hatred expression: "Onee-sama! You've really been blinded by that womanizing, shameless, lecherous doctor who's seducing other girls! Get rid of him! Only I, Kuroko, am yours..."

"boom!"

A merciless, face-breaking punch landed precisely on Kuroko's head, punctuating her impassioned "perverted declaration." Kuroko's eyes rolled back, and she slumped to the ground again, this time falling completely silent.

"call……"

Mikoto shook her hand and let out a long sigh. Being around this guy always made her blood pressure spike.

Only then did she notice that Junko Hokaze was looking at her with an "I knew it" expression.

"Misaka...classmate?"

Runzi moved a little closer, her eyes serious.

"You...you just said...'dump'? So you really are...Dr. Higashino's...girlfriend, just like the rumors say?"

boom--!

Mikoto's face instantly turned as red as a ripe tomato! Kuroko's words just now revealed some information! Although she was indeed dating Higashino Yu, only a few people who knew her well knew this; others were unaware.

"Hey, long-winded!"

Mikoto abruptly turned her head away, avoiding Junko's probing gaze. Her voice rose with extreme embarrassment and anger, then she forced it down again, "Who...who is his girlfriend! You idiot Kuroko's nonsense and you actually believed it! That kind of guy..."

She spoke softer and softer, her eyes darting around.

Seeing Misaka Mikoto's arrogant reaction that seemed to be trying too hard to hide something, and recalling the intimate gestures between her queen and Higashino Yu, as well as Misaka Mikoto's jealous behavior of following him...

Both Level 5 dungeons in Tokiwadai have fallen into the hands of Higashino Yu...

Just as Mikoto felt uncomfortable being stared at, she caught a glimpse out of the corner of her eye that the target ahead seemed to have quickened their pace.

"Oh no! This is terrible!"

Mikoto whispered.

"They're turning! Hurry up and follow!"

She immediately found a perfect excuse to escape, and, disregarding her embarrassment, pointed ahead and urged him on.

Junko Hokaze was also startled awake and quickly nodded, "Yes!"

"sister……"

The black mole on the ground stubbornly began to wriggle again, struggling to raise one hand, its eyes burning with fierce fire.

"Wait, Kuroko! Since Onee-sama has made up her mind (referring to stalking), then as your most loyal knight, Kuroko proposes that we go and ruin their wicked date!!"

Kuroko has been really annoyed with Higashino lately. One by one, her friends have become Higashino's girlfriends. That's fine, she has no right to interfere in her friends' love lives, but a few days ago she even made a move on her sister and succeeded. That's unforgivable!

Of course, there's another point, which is the punishment at the pool. Although it's only right to be punished for losing, that guy Higashino actually did that kind of thing to her, which made her dreams at night have fewer intimate scenes with her older sister and more of his hateful smile.

This is something that haters absolutely cannot accept!

Mikoto was speechless at Kuroko's seemingly trouble-seeking attitude.

She didn't want to ruin someone else's date.

But looking at the blonde figure in front of him, arm in arm with Higashino Yu, and knowing that he was Higashino's girlfriend...

A mischievous impulse and the thought that "they shouldn't be left alone" overwhelmed everything else.

Mikoto said cautiously, "Then let's give it a try."

Junko hesitated for a moment, but then she thought that the Queen might be bullied during the date, and that her physical strength was not as good as hers. If Higashino couldn't help himself, she could rush out and stop him.

Some strange scenarios popped into Junko Hokkaido's mind, and she nodded almost unconsciously: "...Yeah!"

"Alright! Target confirmed! Operation commence!"

Kuroko instantly revived, pointing with high spirits at the street corner where Higashino and Shokuhou were about to disappear.

Three Tokiwadai girls, each with their own agenda but having formed a temporary alliance to "sabotage the date," quickly composed themselves, rejoined the crowd, and quietly followed along with their respective resolve.

Chapter 151 Dating Interference? No, This is Intimacy Assistance!

As expected, Misaki Shokuhou appeared at the entrance of Tokiwadai School. She saw Yu Higashino and walked over with light steps.

Shortly after Junko Hokaze left, Higashino received a text message from Shokuhou.

To put it simply, she needs a second treatment, and the pressure has increased recently. If you don't come, she might do something irrational if she's in a bad mood.

When Higashino saw the series of messages from Shokuhou, he knew that although she hadn't actually seen what happened between him and Junko in the room, she was still somewhat concerned and jealous.

Giving a toy as a gift seems a bit too intimate, and Shokuhou should have met Junko Hokkaido. Given Junko's personality, which makes her not very good at lying, even if she doesn't tell Shokuhou what the two of them really did, her inability to hide her feelings will definitely arouse Shokuhou's suspicion.

"Dr. Higashino, it's been a long time."

Misaki naturally reached out and took his arm. Actually, it hadn't been many days since they last met, but as the old Chinese saying goes, "A day apart feels like three autumns."

Moreover, she vividly remembered the punishment that day. She had never been treated like that before, especially in front of so many people.

This incident is enough for her to remember for a lifetime. Even if it was a deserved punishment, things that should be remembered can never be forgotten.

"Yes, I'm relieved to see that you're as cheerful as ever today."

That familiar soft touch came through the fabric, carrying a slightly cool body temperature.

It seems that the previous psychotherapy was very successful. Judging from her behavior at home last time and today, she should be in a good mood recently.

Perhaps feeling a slight deformation from the close contact between a certain part of her body and Higashino, Shokuhou seemed to suddenly realize that the intimacy was too obvious. She coughed lightly and subtly withdrew her arm.

In private, she can be very open, even to the point of taking the initiative to lightly kiss Higashino, but she is still a little hesitant in places like the school gate where acquaintances may appear at any time.

Misaki glanced around discreetly, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she realized that no one was passing by.

She doesn't actually mind people knowing she's in a relationship, but at least they should confirm it first, right?

Otherwise, what would I say if the factions asked? And if Misaka found out, she would definitely laugh at me for seducing Higashino.

However, as long as I get Higashino to confess his feelings to me first, none of these problems will be a problem!

"Well, of course I'm in a good mood, after all, the weather is really nice today."

She tilted her head slightly, looked at the gray sky, and realized she had said the wrong thing.

Higashino chuckled inwardly.

The weather's nice? It's clearly a gloomy, overcast day. It seems Her Majesty is in a really good mood, to have made such a mistake, and her expression after realizing her error was rather adorable.

"Yes, the air is very fresh."

Higashino continued, following her lead.

"How about we go for a walk in the park first? There are fewer people in the park now, and the air is humid, which is perfect for relaxing and relieving stress."

He specifically emphasized "relieving stress".

After all, the reason the two came out was 'treatment,' so they had to put on an act and give some plausible explanation.

Whether it was truly treatment or not, does it really matter to Misaki now? In any case, after the first treatment, Higashino noticed that the inexplicable oppressive atmosphere emanating from her had long since disappeared.

Misaki glanced at him, seemingly surprised by the ordinariness of his suggestion. She had assumed that Higashino would take her to another exciting place, or a more romantic one, just like before.

However, it's nice to take a walk like this once in a while.

“Good idea, doctor.”

She nodded slightly, and the two walked side by side along the sidewalk toward the nearest park.

"Speaking of..."

Misaki Shokuhou spoke as she walked, her voice regaining its usual composure.

"I saw the news yesterday. Congratulations! You're the new 'number one' in Academy City."

She turned her head to the side, a hint of teasing in her eyes.

"Thanks to you, I've naturally fallen to 'sixth place'."

"Old Six is ​​pretty good too."

Higashino subconsciously replied.

"Lao Liu?"

Misaki Shokuhou's delicate eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"what is that?"

"Uh..."

Then he realized that this meme didn't exist in this world, and he helplessly touched his nose.

It's quite embarrassing when you make a joke but others don't understand it.

"It's nothing, I just think the sixth one sounds pretty good."

Misaki Shokuhou glanced at him suspiciously, but didn't delve into it, and instead got to the point: "That position... you got it by defeating Accelerator, right?"

Although Misaki had already confirmed it in the news, the exaggerated descriptions by the editor still gave her a sense of unreality, and she hoped to get the answer from the person involved.

"Ah."

Higashino nodded. Anyway, the news clearly stated that he had defeated Accelerator, even if the process wasn't quite right.

"really."

Misaki Shokuhou's lips curled into a knowing smile.

"Actually, when I saw Misaka wearing strange goggles and the little Misaka who called you 'brother-in-law' at your housewarming party that day, I had a vague idea."

At that time, although there was no news of Higashino defeating Accelerator and becoming number one, two Misaka Sisters appeared at the same time, one of whom was a very special individual.

At the time, she felt that it was possible that Higashino had done something, such as attacking the laboratory or defeating Accelerator and ending the experiment.
