A certain scientific Saten Ruiko

"We haven't been in touch since then..."

On the hospital bed, Chun Shang Jinyi looked at the photos in his hand with mist in his eyes and told his past stories. The girls were all there quietly listening.

Misaka Mikoto clenched her fists and walked to Terestina who was standing by the window.

"Can I take a step to talk?"

"sister?"

Terestina nodded, and the two quietly walked out of the ward. Only Shirai Kuroko noticed this. Ever since her elder sister showed that shocked expression, she had been paying part of her attention to each other. On his body, he saw the two people leaving the ward. He glanced at Uiharu, who was comforting Harugami Jinyi, and Saten Ruiko, who was also looking at him. He nodded slightly to Saten Ruiko and quietly left the ward.

"early……"

Saten Ruiko opened her mouth, but when she saw that the other party didn't seem to care about her, she sighed helplessly and followed him out of the ward.

"Kihara Gensei?"

Hearing the name as soon as he came out, Saten Ruiko asked aloud, "Who is that?"

The three of them turned their eyes and saw Saten Ruiko nodded slightly, Terestina explained.

"That's a mad scientist who does whatever it takes for experiments. If it were him, it wouldn't be surprising if he could do such a thing..."

Terestina put her chin on her head in thought, "If that experiment is true, maybe the children of the test subjects are the reason for the chaos and openness?"

"Oh."

Saten Ruiko said oh, it turned out that this old man was involved when Haruso Kiyama was born, but now that things have come to this, the rest of the matter will be easier to handle. Those children are probably thought of by Haruso Kiyama now. The solution is gone, all we need to do is get the original sample from Terestina.

But before that, we still have to establish it after meeting Harusi Kiyama. Otherwise, how can she explain that she inexplicably knows the existence of the original sample? How to explain why she knew this thing was on Terestina's body?

It's really troublesome. Sometimes she can't help complaining about this guy Aleister. It's really annoying to have so many monitors when there is nothing to do. But this is just complaining. After all, this is their territory and they just install more monitors. There is nothing wrong with checking the monitor...

That's weird, I really want to demolish that building and take some peeping tom out of the equipment and beat him up~

After learning some things about Kihara Gensei from Terestina, they also got on the bus back to the Seventh School District, but Harugami Jinyi stayed behind.

At dusk, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the bodies of the four girls.

In order to prevent a sudden attack by a certain pervert, Misaka Mikoto put Saten Ruiko between herself and Shirai Kuroko. This made Saten Ruiko a little embarrassed because she had already felt Shirai Kuroko's full resentment. , even if the other party behaves normally and is still thinking about other things, the resentment is real.

"In other words, Zhixian is a student of Mushan, and it was Zhixian and the others who caused the Chaotic Opening?"

Really unable to stand Shirai Kuroko's mental attack on her, Saten Ruiko simply started a topic to divert this guy's attention.

"Well, it's just a hypothesis." Shirai Kuroko's attention was diverted, and Saten Ruiko also escaped from this resentment.

"But we can't make a conclusion until we find those children." Misaka Mikoto, who was sitting beside her with her arms folded, also said aloud at this time.

"Then just let Uiharu type on the keyboard a few times, right ~ Uiharu?" Saten Ruiko slightly poked her head and looked at Uiharu, who was sitting a little far away, feeling angry alone and smiled.

"...I know, I will go early." Uiharu responded to Saten Ruiko after being silent for a while, but she still looked a little angry.

"Although I will look for her, do you want to doubt Chun's friends after she goes to school?"

The three of them were stunned. Shirai Kuroko lowered his head and pursed his lips. Misaka Mikoto closed her eyes and turned her head away without speaking.

"That's enough Uiharu!!! Are you done yet?"

"Forehead……"

Saten Ruiko's scolding sounded like a heavy hammer hitting her heart. She turned her head in shock, only to see Saten Ruiko, who had always taken care of her like a gentle sister, looking angry. looked at her.

"Tears... Leizi..."

Looking at the other party's astonished eyes, Saten Ruizi sighed and tried to keep his tone calmer.

"Don't forget your responsibility as a disciplinary committee member. It's useless just to be angry. Do what you should do. If you want to help Harugami-san and the others get rid of suspicion, then go and prove their innocence. What’s the use of being angry with Shirai-san here?”

"..."

Uiharu lowered her head, her bangs covered her expression, and her shoulders trembled slightly. Every word Saten Ruiko said was as deafening as a bell in her ears.

"Tick, tick..."

"I'm sorry...I...I just...just..."

Tears fell on the floor of the bus, accompanied by Chuchun's slightly trembling voice. She just didn't want her friends to be wronged. It was that simple. Why did it develop to this point? Does even Ruiko hate herself?

"Ah~"

A slight sigh sounded, and then she felt herself being suddenly hugged into someone's arms. She raised her head slightly and met the gentle gazes with her eyes full of moisture.

Saten Ruiko stretched out her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of the other party's eyes and said softly, "I can understand the mood before early spring. It feels uncomfortable to be caught between friends and responsibilities, but your approach is a bit childish. In fact, Shirai-san is also I don’t want to doubt Harukami’s classmate. After all, how could such an honest and lovely child do such a thing?

I believe Shirai-san feels very uncomfortable too, right? "

Hearing this, Shirai Kuroko, who was still looking at the two of them, turned his head arrogantly, which made Misaka Mikoto and Saten Ruiko look at each other funny.

"Anyway, Uiharu, if you want to prove that this matter has nothing to do with Harugami-san and her friends, then use your true skills to find evidence to prove their innocence."

"I...I know." Uiharu Shiri got out of Saten Ruiko's arms, stood up, came to Shirai Kuroko and bowed

"I'm sorry, Shirai-san. I went too far before. I shouldn't have been angry with Shirai-san, who is responsible for traveling."

"No...it's nothing. I can understand your mood..." Shirai Kuroko smiled and shook his head, stood up and helped Uiharu up. However, before he could finish speaking, the bus suddenly stopped, causing Uiharu to stumble and fall in. In the arms of Saten Ruiko who was standing aside.

Seeing this scene, Shirai Kuroko seemed to be inspired. He thought that he could still be like this. At the same time, he poured it towards Misaka Mikoto who was sitting aside and shouted in an exaggerated way.

"Ouch~ I accidentally didn't stand firm~"

"Hey, what are you doing?" Misaka Mikoto swooped aside like a rabbit when she saw this. She looked speechlessly at Kuroko, who was clearly performing a touching drama just a moment ago. The next moment, he used his exaggerated acting skills to pounce on Kuroko. To myself.

"Boom~"

Shirai Kuroko jumped into the air, and his head came into close contact with the place where Misaka Mikoto had just been sitting. However, this guy did not continue to attack as he imagined, but lay there and breathed fiercely.

"Hang bang bang~ It's onee-sama's breath, hehehe (o﹃o)"

The corners of Misaka Mikoto's mouth twitched slightly, a few weak electric currents flashed across her forehead, and she clenched her right hand into a fist.

"duang!"

"Uh... Well, Saten-san, Uiharu-san, we're leaving first." Misaka Mikoto said goodbye to the two of them, holding Shirai Kuroko's back collar, and then dragged Shirai Kuroko, who was still wearing a perverted smile, off the bus. .

"No...as expected of Shirai-san..." Uiharu Shiri also expressed shock and couldn't help but complain.

"Ah."

Saten Ruiko also nodded in sympathy.
