“Hey, Yotsuya, don’t be a busybody!”
Upon hearing Yotsuya Miko seemingly wanting to say something inappropriate to her Big Sister, Shirai Kuroko immediately tensed up, glaring at Yotsuya Miko.
But at that moment, Yotsuya Miko merely turned her head to glance at her, a faint smile playing on her lips, before looking back at the somewhat solitary Misaka Mikoto.
“Although Miss Misaka, you don’t have much contact with Mr. Su Rui now, with the passage of time, you will naturally grow closer to him.”
“I, I know! Isn’t that how friendships are cultivated?”
‘But I’m not just talking about friendship.’
A hint of amusement flickered in Yotsuya Miko’s eyes. It didn’t matter; Miss Misaka would eventually understand her own feelings. She didn’t need to say anything more; she just needed to watch things slowly unfold.
“Alright, Big Sister, we’re almost going back. Didn’t you still want to have a fight with Su Rui? It’ll be soon, you know.”
“That’s right!”
Shirai Kuroko’s words immediately excited Misaka Mikoto. The maiden’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Su Rui, full of anticipation:
“Let me witness your strength properly. Don’t go easy on me just because I’m a maiden~”
While Misaka Mikoto was telling Su Rui not to hold back, Shirai Kuroko, sitting in Su Rui’s arms, reached out and tugged at his clothes, whispering a warning:
“Big Sister is just like that; she gets excited like a boy whenever fighting is mentioned and loses her sense of propriety. You need to be careful. It’s best not to hurt Big Sister, otherwise, I’ll…”
“Otherwise, what?”
Su Rui, somewhat amused, leaned close to Shirai Kuroko’s cheek, feigning a desire to hear clearly what Kuroko was saying.
“If you dare to mess around, I’ll give you a good lesson.”
Seeing Su Rui lean so close, Shirai Kuroko gritted her teeth, secretly pinched the soft flesh at Su Rui’s waist, then let out a cold snort and turned her head to lean into Su Rui’s arms, ignoring him.
In the end, she only made a threat, without any actual demonstration.
Soon, back in his castle, Su Rui led Misaka Mikoto to the training ground:
“This is where we usually train. There might be a few people you’re not familiar with, but don’t worry, most of them are very friendly.”
“Except for a white-haired, golden-eyed Vampire, that arrogant tsundere who says unpleasant things and thinks she’s so great, I really don’t know what’s so good about her.”
Shirai Kuroko snorted coldly. Just as Misaka Mikoto felt her words were a bit excessive and hoped her junior would be a little more polite, Su Rui’s familiar arrogant voice rang out from above them.
“Is that so? Do you think your words are pleasant to hear? You were just a Kazari Uiharu for a while, what’s there to be so impressive about?”
Su Rui looked up and saw Kagarino Kirieda floating in the air, arms crossed over her chest, looking down at them from above.
The maiden’s golden eyes flickered with flowing light, and behind her were a pair of blood-red bat wings.
Upon noticing Su Rui’s gaze, Kagarino Kirieda immediately swooped down and then plunged into Su Rui’s embrace.
The impact force of the maiden’s body accelerating from a high altitude did not harm Su Rui, but to prevent Kagarino Kirieda from crashing into his arms like hitting a wall.
When catching Kagarino Kirieda, Su Rui still instinctively took two steps back, dispersing the impact force to prevent Kagarino Kirieda from getting hurt.
“You should learn to slow down when landing. If I hadn’t stepped back, you would have been like being slapped against a wall just now.”
“I know, I’ll be careful next time.”
Kagarino Kirieda, already feeling some pain from the collision, responded to Su Rui’s words somewhat uncomfortably, then nodded, committing the matter to memory.
She had originally thought that as a Vampire, a little pain shouldn’t be anything, but this kind of pain was still a bit hard for her to accept.
“Pfft~”
The laughter from the side immediately angered Kagarino Kirieda, who turned her head irritably, her golden eyes glaring at Shirai Kuroko, who was laughing:
“What’s so funny?”
“If Su Rui hadn’t been worried about you just now, you would have been like a bat flattened against a wall, turned into a squashed puddle, wouldn’t you?”
Shirai Kuroko was not afraid of Kagarino Kirieda’s threat. With hands on her hips, she puffed out her chest and met her gaze defiantly.
“Tch, meager.”
Kagarino Kirieda’s golden eyes swept over Shirai Kuroko’s chest, and she deliberately said this with a disdainful tone, instantly making Shirai Kuroko bristle like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on.
“What did you say? You’re the one with flat chest! I can still grow, but you, a Vampire, are already set and have no room for growth, do you?”
“Heh heh, do you still hold hope for your tragic future? In my opinion, you have no possibility of further development.”
Kagarino Kirieda sneered, her golden eyes sweeping over Shirai Kuroko, revealing an expression of disdain.
“You arrogant flat-chested Vampire!”
“Are you any better than me? You perverted Kazari Uiharu!”
Just as Kagarino Kirieda and Shirai Kuroko were arguing, Misaka Mikoto, who was inexplicably caught in the crossfire, subconsciously reached out and gestured at her own chest. Like Kuroko, she didn’t have much, even though she was already an adult…
Suddenly realizing she was in a public place, Misaka Mikoto immediately blushed, then turned to look at Yotsuya Miko, her gaze involuntarily moving downwards, seeing the maiden’s full chest, and she was immediately struck.
“It’s okay, Miss Misaka, you still have a chance to develop further later.”
Yotsuya Miko immediately noticed Misaka Mikoto’s sadness and somewhat flustered, came to her to comfort her.
“I know, I just feel a little sad.”
Misaka Mikoto accepted Yotsuya Miko’s comfort and chatted with her about school topics, such as what kind of place Shuchiin Academy, which was about to enroll, was, and if anything interesting had happened recently.
She might have already forgotten about wanting to spar with Su Rui next.
Su Rui glanced at the maidens who were chatting happily, thinking it was fine to wait a bit. He then went directly to the edge of the arena and found a spot to sit down. Just as he was about to take out his phone, he heard footsteps behind him.
Turning his head, he saw Kaguya Shinomiya approaching.
“I heard from the maidens that you were back, so I thought I’d come and take a look. Am I not disturbing you?”
Kaguya Shinomiya was clearly a bit nervous, but Su Rui casually pulled her into his arms, gently rubbing her cheek:
“Of course not.”
