Chapter 431: How Do I Catch Him?
"What do I want? Now? Wasn't I clear enough? Misaka-san, I like your necklace~✨"
"I already told you not to play with me! Why do you want it?!"
*Biri~biri~*
The electricity around Mikoto didn't stop, and Misaki narrowed her eyes in doubt.
"Misaka-san... Could it be that you still don't know? Misaka-san... Can't you see it?"
"See what? Speak!"
Maybe it was Mikoto's sincerity, but this response eased Misaki quite a bit...
(Hehehe~... Misaka-san can't see it~)
A refreshing smile formed on her face, and she closed her beautiful starry eyes. However, Misaki could still see it – a small crown rotating around Mikoto, protecting her.
Misaki cared little about what kind of accessories Mikoto wore or what happened in her life, but she definitely wouldn't overlook that crown – that eternal and comforting light guiding her path, a light she pursued fervently to this day.
Misaki really wanted that necklace. As someone who had one some time ago, she knew what it meant to wear it.
So, she was relieved to know that Mikoto didn't understand its value, yet jealous that someone like her had it around her neck...
At first, she thought that as the girl Yuki protects, Mikoto might see the light, but it seems she overestimated Mikoto.
"Misaka-san, if you really can't see it, then it doesn't matter~✨"
"You!!"
Mikoto felt increasingly irritated; Misaki was playing with her.
"What is its name~?"
"Huh?"
"The name of the necklace?"
''..."
The sudden question left Mikoto a bit stunned, but seeing Misaki's eyes with a warm light, she decided to answer the question...
"Thunder Soul... What? Any comments?"
"No~ It's really a fantastic name ~✨"
With a hand to her lips, Misaki laughed. She then pressed the button on her controller, releasing everyone from her control before putting it in her bag.
"Huh?"
"What's happening?"
"Ha! It's Misaka-sama and Shokohuo-sama."
The girls woke up bewildered, looking around in confusion until their gaze fell on Mikoto and Misaki.
"Misaka-san, I heard that you have a boyfriend now~✨"
"Don't change the subject! And what does this have to do with you?!"
As Misaki didn't want to continue talking, she decided to change the topic, and of course, Mikoto wasn't happy.
Her face reddened, especially when the topic of her 'boyfriend' came up again...
Kongou and the other girls, now free from mental control, couldn't help but be interested.
"But I'm very curious~✨... I heard he's a very handsome guy and also the Eighth Level 5~"
Putting a finger to her head, Misaki smiled and leaned in. The playful smile on her face continued.
"Misaka-san must share the secret with all of us... How do I catch him~✨?"
"Yes, we want to know too!"
"Misaka-sama!"
But as if Misaki's words were a stimulus, the other Ojou-samas couldn't help but comment, causing a chain reaction – everyone wanted to know.
''..."
Mikoto gritted her teeth; she really hated this woman. As always, being the target of everyone for years, Mikoto was at her limit.
"You!!"
"Misaka-san, please don't get angry; we're just curious~✨"
Maybe because the joke went too far, the other Ojou-samas started to step back. However, Misaki didn't. She clapped as if a great idea had come to her mind.
"If Misaka-san doesn't want to tell us, that's fine~... But, Misaka-san, maybe you can bring your boyfriend? We want to meet him! We can't let any random guy be with our Electric Princess, right, girls~?"
"Yes!"
"Queen is right; we need to know if he's suitable for Misaka-sama!"
Again using the support of the Ojou-samas, Mikoto was left dumbfounded. This woman was excellent at controlling people, even without using her ability. But this time, Mikoto had the answer to this question.
"No, I'll never let someone like you meet him."
Mikoto didn't know if Misaki's mental control worked on Yuki, but she wasn't going to take the risk. Yuki is her friend and has many secrets in his head. This woman is too troublesome for Mikoto to take her seriously, so she didn't hesitate and made a promise to herself...
(Over my dead body will I let this woman see him!)
Having said this, Mikoto's anger disappeared. She looked around and silently left the library. She had nothing more to discuss with that woman. She also thought about warning Yuki not to approach Tokiwadai; he needed to stay away, the farther, the better.
"Umm~"
Mikoto's firm response left the Ojou-samas wondering; they didn't know what to think. Apparently, they touched Mikoto's reverse scale, but for Misaki, it was the opposite.
"We'll see about that, Misaka-san~✨"
Misaki's smile deepened. She had many tricks up her sleeve, knew Joker's true identity, and wasn't going to let him escape. At the same time, she would also mess with Mikoto – two birds with one stone.
"Queen... This isn't good!"
"Huh?"
Suddenly, one of her subordinates entered the library, quite nervous. She whispered to Misaki, who, upon hearing it, couldn't help but change her expression.
---
Hokaze Junko, a third-year student at Tokiwadai School, is quite beautiful with a slim body and a well-proportioned bust. Her long lavender hair is curly, and she has purple eyes.
This girl is also a powerful Level 4 esper, Rampage Dress. She can not only strengthen her body, making her stronger, faster, more agile, but also regenerate, turning her into a full-fledged superhuman.
Her ability could even compete with the Apocalypse Virus, of course, in the early stages of evolution.
"Queen..."
Sighing lightly, Junko recalled Misaki's dark expression from yesterday. As a loyal follower of the Queen, Junko spent most of her time with Misaki.
Everything was rosy until an incident caught Misaki's attention and her faction.
Mikoto Misaka, going on a date with her boyfriend.
At first, Misaki only showed surprise. After all, it was astonishing for someone like Mikoto to have a boyfriend, but that was the most Misaki could express. After all, she lost interest quite quickly.
Until a certain photo was seen...
"If I hadn't shown it to her..."
"If I hadn't shown it to her..."
Junko was quite regretful. She was calmly drinking tea until a post on social media appeared on her phone – a photo of Mikoto holding hands with her boyfriend.
As a good follower and someone who enjoys gossip, Junko showed it to Misaki. After seeing it, Misaki's expression changed from happiness to darkness.
Misaki was angry, so angry that it was the first time for Junko to see her in such a state.
Junko didn't have the chance to ask when Misaki left Tokiwadai without saying a word. She tried to follow her, but Misaki used her power on her, preventing her from moving.
Later, Misaki returned to Tokiwadai, still angry. Unable to calm down, she unleashed her anger on the delinquents in the nearby area. She also controlled Anti-skill agents, causing a small fight in the area, resulting in several arrests.
Junko had a headache. She didn't know why Misaki acted this way, all because of a photo of Mikoto.
"A pink one for the lady..."
"Eekk!"
Lost in her thoughts, Junko didn't realize when a clown approached her. Junko almost hit him for scaring her, but fortunately, she managed to control herself, avoiding bloodshed.
"Hm? Joker-sama?"
Half-closing her eyes, Junko hesitated. As a loyal follower of Misaki, Junko was quite familiar with Joker. Part of the same experiment where Misaki and she met, the same place where Joker first appeared, Junko, like Misaki, had been chasing Joker, following orders from Misaki and her own will, although not with as much obsession as Misaki.
But unlike Misaki, who could identify him instantly, Junko encountered many impersonators. With Joker becoming more and more famous in Academy City, it wasn't a surprise to see clowns wearing the same mask. Unfortunately, no one could make a good imitation of Joker, so they were easily discovered.
"Miss Hokaze, it's been a while."
Making a bow like a gentleman, Yuki handed her the flower and put the hat back on his head.
"It's you, Joker-sama!"
Perhaps due to the clown's behavior, small tears gathered in Junko's eyes.
It had been a long time since she last saw him, as well as the last time she heard his voice.
