A certain scientific Saten Ruiko

After successfully sending Misaka Mikoto away safely, Kamijou Touma breathed a sigh of relief. A myriad of thoughts ran through his mind, and finally, for some unknown reason, Kamijou Touma sat down on a nearby bench without a backrest.

Fortunately, the God of Fate did not play a joke on him by breaking the legs of the bench, so Kamijou Touma breathed a sigh of relief again. All he had to do next was to enter the stone statue mode here to kill time.

“Youth is like a wild beast that may strike at any time!!”

The sudden voice of the girl startled Kamijou Touma. Before he could react, someone grabbed his collar and dragged him backwards forcefully.

Then, Kamijou Touma was dragged out of the range of all surveillance cameras in the store by this devil's hand and completely disappeared from the cameras.

“What? There’s a wall behind me. Even if I was attacked, I still don’t understand what kind of logic could lead to this result!! Could it be that… could it be that the other party has the power to freely control space!?”

"Okay, okay, if you keep making noise, everyone will notice you hiding behind the decorative curtains~"

It turned out to be Lessa. For some reason, she was hiding behind the curtain, looking down at Kamijou Touma, who was sitting on the ground and muttering to himself, with the eyes of a cat playing with its prey.

“No, I don’t understand the purpose behind this action. What do you want to do by dragging Kamijou-san into this place!?”

"Nothing? If we use a normal offensive against a battle-hardened person like you, someone will surely interrupt us along the way. We are the ones who can effectively use a scarce talent like you, the New Light. How could we sit back and watch the likes of Dawn take action before the end of the campaign to win you over?"

"Huh? What?"

"More importantly, there seems to be a group of guys here who will get in the way. Since the fitting room is heavily guarded, I have no choice but to use a surprise attack!!!"

“Hey, hey, hey, what does [battle-hardened] mean? This strange development gives me a bad feeling that there will be a huge trouble later!!”

"Le...Lesa, at this point we should let both parties calmly discuss their thoughts and then sort out the information, right?"

Kamijou Touma tried to delay time in this way so that he could find a way to escape from this bad development.

"Stop talking nonsense! If you don't listen to me, I will take off my clothes first and then strip you naked!!"

"What...what!? How could you come up with such an idea that both sides would suffer losses?"

However, Lessa looked down at Kamijou Touma with her hands on her hips and disdain: "Hahahahahahaha, when you see a petite girl naked outside a fitting room, how will the world's six billion people judge the situation in front of them?"

Kamijou Touma was sweating profusely. If that was true, he would definitely become the most famous person of this century!!

"You...what do you want?"

"Hehehe, of course I want you to choose a swimsuit for me."

As she spoke, Resa took out a hanger with swimsuit samples in each of her hands and handed out two swimsuits that were beyond description.

"Come on, Kamijou Touma, which one did you lose? This sexy black suspender bikini? Or this sexy white skull one-piece swimsuit?"

"Your choice of words is too professional, and I feel that no matter which one I choose, it will not end well!!!"

"Oh, yes, there is also a third option, 'Give a beautiful gift to an honest person'~"

"It sounds like this is just a time-limited declaration!!"

Looking at the timid Kamijou Touma, Lessar couldn't help but sigh in disappointment, and then began to take the initiative to introduce the two swimsuits.

"The so-called lace-up bikini is like what you see here. It's basically a bikini with only laces, and even the triangle area has only the lace-up outer frame. However, if it is like this, the parts that cannot be seen will be exposed, so an inverted triangle fabric is used to cover the key point."

"Haha, this is already a formidable murder weapon..."

"Then there's this skeleton one-piece swimsuit. It's just like what it says. It's basically a very ordinary one-piece swimsuit, no different from the swimsuits used by female students in schools."

"Huh... there is a relatively decent option, let's take this one." Kamijou Touma finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Fortunately, this guy was not so crazy as to make him choose such weird clothes.

However, Lessa added: "Once it gets wet, it becomes completely transparent."

"It's meaningless!! It makes absolutely no sense at all!!!" Kamijou Touma yelled, regretting his naive thoughts just now.

"Well... of course there are other cloths covering certain parts, but the area is about the same as a band-aid. It looks more like bubbles have seeped in there so it's not so much covered by cloth as it is not close to the skin. Maybe that's what other people would think."

Kamijou Touma's face twitched. Is this really something a human could come up with?

The more he thought about it, the more desperate he became. Kamijou Touma couldn't help but kneel down and face the ground, hiding his face behind his knees. He felt that the world had changed, and he was expressing his true feelings like an old man.

"You know what, Reisa? Living in this small island nation, sometimes you lose sight of the so-called [common sense of the world]."

Lessa blinked and asked in confusion, "Is this a technical term? You need to live in the world's leading Academy City to understand it, right?"

As she spoke, Resa pinched her chin and analyzed carefully: "Well, I think if you search for this word on the general Internet outside, you probably won't find anything, right?"

"Forget it, forget it. I don't understand Academy City's policy at all. Oh, by the way, if I equip a bikini over the skeleton one-piece swimsuit, it will have a completely different style."

“…Is this the price of time?”

In her right hand was a black suspender bikini, and in her left hand was a white skull one-piece swimsuit, which Reisa pushed in front of Kamijou Touma.

"Come on, what will you decide?"

"Choose now!"

Resha was smiling like a little devil, with an arrow-shaped tail sticking out from her miniskirt.

No matter which one you choose, it's absolutely no different from being naked, and the development speed is too fast.

Moreover, Kamijou Touma thought that if he left this guy alone, he would definitely start changing his clothes right in front of him, and after all, it seemed that Lesser would not let him go.
