Chapter 180: Something Bound Inside

"You've been waiting for a long time!"

With two cakes in hand, the waiter walked over with a professional smile.

Why am I here...?

This is the question in Zhu Xingfeng's heart at this time, staring at the Misaka sister who has picked up the fork and eaten the cake as if nothing happened, Zhu Xingfeng couldn't help but fall into memory.

The time went back fifteen minutes ago.

"I think I see my sister?" said Misaka, looking up at the powerful electricity surging in the distance. 」

While Shirai Kuroko was in pain and happy, Misaka No. 9892, not far away, stopped and looked back.

"Ah, this king knows. 」

Zhu Xingfeng, who also stopped, did not have any doubts, but looked like he was in control, and smiled confidently.

"Huh?"

"But now if I meet the eldest lady head-on, I'm afraid it will become very troublesome, I don't have that kind of leisure..."

"Zhu Xingfeng, what is your relationship with your sister?" Misaka asked, tilting his head a little curiously. 」

"Huh, relationships, it's just that we know each other to this extent. 」

Unlike Misaka Mei, who was full of curiosity, Zhu Xingfeng replied with a lack of interest. Hearing this, although Misaka Mei's expression still did not change, her tone still revealed some doubts.

"Your answer is a little different from the information, according to the information, Zhu Xingfeng and my sister should be friends. Misaka suspects that your words are colloquial, and corrects him. 」

"Friend, it's a new word, but then again, what does intelligence mean?"

Accurately grasped the key words in Misaka Mei's words, and asked rhetorically. And this time, Misaka Mei did not read out the long string of passwords, nor did she remain silent and pretend to be dead, and answered Zhu Xingfeng's question very refreshingly.

"It's not classified information, it's just something I've heard from the researchers at the institute. Anyway, Misaka felt a little hungry. Misaka thought about the delicious cream cake and touched his stomach and pointed to the restaurant in front of him to ask for a treat. 」

「…… Hey!"

"By the way, Misaka wants to drink milk tea!"

「……」

Looking at Misaka Mei who was waving to herself while walking, Zhu Xingfeng sighed a little tiredly. If it was the previous Hero King, I'm afraid he would just turn around and leave, and in fact, Zhu Xingfeng really wanted to do this now, but in the end he still walked over with a ghost.

"Speaking of which, why did you appear in the testing grounds?" Misaka asked, puzzled. 」

In the restaurant, eating a delicious cream cake, Misaka asked as if she had suddenly thought of something. And Zhu Xingfeng, who was also eating cream cake, raised his head and said after hearing this question.

"Fool, do you think that no one has noticed the recent air scene?"

"Regardless of whether the composition of the air has changed, but the air quality has not changed significantly in recent times, what is wrong?" Misaka analyzed. 」

"No, that's not what I mean ......."

Zhu Xingfeng, who was sweating so much in his heart, stopped going around the bend.

"The eldest lady said that this is a city that does not make people bored. And the reason for this is because in this city, an ugly farce is being played out all the time. 」

After a pause, seeing that Misaka Mei didn't seem to have anything to say, just sitting there obediently as an audience, Zhu Xingfeng continued without bothering.

"School City,There is a technological power beyond this world for thirty or forty years.,And behind this gorgeous surface,It's the ugly desires of human beings.,That's the evil of human beings.。 」

Turning his head to look out the window, the blood-red snake pupils seemed to have insight into everything behind the scenes, tearing through layers of camouflage.

"The city itself, formed by the countless desires of human beings, is the embodiment of the evil nature of human beings......?"

As he spoke, Zhu Xingfeng felt a sense of disobedience.

"Hey, bastard, are you listening?"

"Listening, aren't you going to eat it? Your cream cake has barely touched. Misaka replied and reminded you. 」

Regarding Misaka Mei's reminder, Zhu Xingfeng was unimpressed for a while. He glanced at the cream cake that he had only eaten one bite and snorted lightly.

"That's the end of the joke, it's enough to eat just one bite of this cheap product, it's better to be proud of just getting into the mouth of this king. 」

"Ah~ yes, then Misaka is welcome!"

"Huh?"

While Zhu Xingfeng was stunned, he saw Misaka Mei unceremoniously fork the cream cake in front of Zhu Xingfeng's table, and then before he could react, he stuffed the whole cream cake into his mouth.

「…… Hey!"

"What's wrong? Because you said that you were going to waste food, and Misaka solved the problem for you out of kindness, Misaka felt that you should thank me. Misaka racked his brains to make up reasons and tried to obscure the past. 」

Looking at Misaka Mei with a natural face, Zhu Xingfeng couldn't help but think. Could it be that the eldest lady is also a foodie?

"Oh yes, I want milk tea. 」

"Do it yourself. 」

"By the way, I'm very good at milk tea~ Misaka said expectantly. 」

「……」

Time passed minute by minute, and in the end, Zhu Xingfeng accompanied Misaka No. 9892 to drink milk tea and eat cake, and inexplicably played for a few hours. But Zhu Xingfeng didn't hate this in his heart, after all, he was singing the praises of modern times.

"Then leave it at that. 」

At the door of the family restaurant, Zhu Xingfeng, who was about to go back, said goodbye to Misaka Mei. But Misaka Mei was expressionless from beginning to end, and I don't know if it was an illusion, there seemed to be a little loneliness in her eyes.

"What an uncute guy. 」

Zhu Xingfeng, who couldn't stand it anymore, showed a hearty smile.

"A girl should look like a girl, you just have to smile from the heart. 」

"Girls?"

Hearing Misaka Mei's murmur, Zhu Xingfeng smiled with satisfaction.

"Yes, human life is always limited, and when it is time to enjoy it, we can sing the praises of the beauty of life. 」

"Acura... Life?"

Maybe it touched the depths of her heart, Misaka Mei muttered in a daze, chewing on the meaning of Zhuxingfeng's words.

"You woman seems to be bound by something, not physically but inwardly. 」

Zhu Xingfeng's eyes narrowed slightly.

"It's, impossible. Misaka corrected your mistakes. Because the unit price of Misaka is only 180,000 yen, using learning equipment and ......."

"No, you're in bondage. 」

Zhu Xingfeng interrupted Misaka Mei's words, and cut the nails into the iron tunnel.

"It is precisely because we have nothing, as simple as a baby, that we are misled and constrained by the first instructions that are instilled in the brain. If you want to sing the praises of life to the fullest, you must first learn to be happy. 」

"Pleasant?"

Zhu Xingfeng did not answer Misaka Mei's question directly, but turned his head to look at the family restaurant next to him and asked.

"I ask you, how did you feel during your time in this restaurant?"

"Misaka, I feel very warm inside, I have a very special feeling, but I don't hate it, if I can, I really hope that I can feel this warmth again. Misaka touched his chest and felt his inner way. 」

"That's what is called happiness, and it's the embodiment of pleasure. 」

After speaking, Zhu Xingfeng turned around and left slowly.

"You can keep this feeling deep in your heart and enjoy it. Goodbye, goodbye!"

「…… Goodbye...... Kaede..."

The girl felt the feeling in her heart, as if she wanted to hold the first affection called happiness, and clenched the little white hand standing on her chest.

……
