"Huh?"

Mikoto Misaka looked at Hideka Inoue's serious expression, a little dazed, and didn't understand what he had important things to say at this time.

"Misaka-senpai...... You like me, don't you? ”

"Huh? Oops, hey, hey! You, you, you, what are you talking about! Who, who, who's going to like you! A sucker! ”

Mikoto Misaka was like an electric shock, and when she heard Inoue Yinghua's words, she was stunned for a moment, followed by a shy roar like a storm, her face was red, and her hands were waving wildly at Inoue Yinghua.

"Hoo ......"

Inoue Hideka exhaled, leaned against the wall a little tiredly, and looked up at the dark night.

The September night was already a little cold for Hideka Inoue, who was wearing only a short-sleeved shirt.

"I know, Misaka-senpai likes me."

"You—Don't talk nonsense! I don't like a fool like you! ”

"But...... I'm a complete scumbag. ”

Inoue Yinghua ignored Mikoto Misaka's shy yell, just raised his head and looked at the night above the alley, as if he was saying to Mikoto Misaka, and seemed to be talking to himself.

"Of course, I also like Misaka-sensa very much, although I don't know if it's love. But I don't want to see you sad, I don't want to see you cry, I don't want to see you sad. Because of this, I concealed the fact that I was dating Tears! ”

"Ah...... Yes! That's right! I'm a scumbag! I'm dating tears, and I've cheated on my senpai. What Misaka-senpai likes is a scumbag like me! ”

"At this point, maybe it doesn't make sense for me to say anything more...... But, if you can, you want to hit me, scold me, kill me, it doesn't matter. As long as you can vent your anger and let you be happy. ”

Inoue Hideka kept his head up, and he couldn't see the tears that were rolling in Mikoto Misaka's eyes when he started to say the words "dating tears".

It's better to say, don't dare to look at it...... More appropriate.

He could imagine how much of a wave his words would set off in Mikoto Misaka's heart.

He could imagine what kind of expression Mikoto Misaka would have on her face after he said this.

Because of this, he didn't dare to look at it.

He didn't dare to bow his head.

Even though his whole body was in pain and caused by excessive bleeding, he was extremely tired physically and mentally at this time.

He was so tired that his high head had to lean against the wall to support it.

He still didn't dare to look at Mikoto Misaka's face, and he didn't dare to comfort her.

After all, even if he realizes that he actually likes Mikoto Misaka.

It's only because of the feelings that have been precipitated in my heart in my previous life, and I release all the impulses in my heart when I see her for the first time, that I will call out the untimely title of 'Sister Cannon', and I will not have the excitement I should have in the future.

will make him feel that his feelings for her are actually different from his feelings for Zuotian Tears.

Even so, he knew how a girl like Mikoto Misaka could accept to share her love with others.

Inoue Hideka didn't feel that he had that much charm to make Mikoto Misaka make such a sacrifice, but it was impossible for him to give up Saten Tears.

The answer is obvious.

Inoue Yinghua chose to explain everything, whether Mikoto Misaka will go or stay, and leave the opportunity to choose to her.

"And then...... What is your purpose in saying these words to a girl who has just made up her mind to protect you? ”

Mikoto Misaka's voice was surprisingly calm, and Inoue Hideka couldn't see her face, but just listening to the voice, she could tell that she was suppressing her mood that was about to explode.

Inoue Hideka didn't speak, quietly waiting for Mikoto Misaka's outburst.

The firewood knife is a good boat or something, he has long been mentally prepared.

In Inoue Yinghua's view, no matter what kind of storm it is, it is not too much for himself to act like a scumbag.

"Why...... Why not speak! Bastard! Inoue Eika, you big idiot! ”

Da Da ...... Da Da ......

The sound of hurried footsteps sounded after Mikoto Misaka's roar.

"Shh......h

After feeling that Mikoto Misaka had run away, Inoue Hideka let out a long breath as if he had collapsed.

The body supported by the wall also slowly slipped and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

Inoue Yinghua, who was leaning against the wall, had an extremely tired expression on his face.

If it's just the hard work of fighting, it won't make him what he is now.

It was mainly due to excessive blood loss and the mental fatigue after talking to Mikoto Misaka that caused him to be drowsy now.

As night fell, the temperature became colder and colder, and his already weak body became colder and colder.

It's just that the coldness on the surface of the body is never as heart-warming as the coldness in the heart.

Mikoto Misaka finally left, maybe she won't even be able to be friends in the future, right?

Yes...... Don't meet in the future...... That would only make it more awkward for both parties......

It's just that the tears of Satian sandwiched in the middle will be very hard, right?

What is causing all this?

It's really your fault, right?

If, I didn't know Mikoto Misaka from the beginning, and didn't let her know that she saved Misaka Mei, would there still be these things?

obviously dated Tears, but he didn't deliberately open his relationship with Mikoto Misaka.

It's selfish, right?

Sure enough, people are selfish.

Because I like it, I deliberately ignore her feelings and my feelings for her.

Even if you don't have an absolute ability plan, even before you save Misaka Mei, you should have noticed it, right?

The relationship with her has long been not as simple as friendship......

Just because I like her, because I have the girlfriend of Saten tears, can I ignore this?

Me! What a complete scumbag!

Inoue Yinghua thought like this in his heart, only to feel that his body was getting colder and colder, and his consciousness was getting weaker and weaker.

At the end of his coma, perhaps it was an illusion, and he seemed to see Mikoto Misaka running back, crying and saying something to himself.

————————

Mikoto Misaka didn't go far after running out of the alley, squatting on the edge of the wall outside the alley, holding her head, crying silently.

Why, why?

Why does my chest hurt so much?

Isn't that stupid guy dating Saten?

What does this have to do with me?

Why should I care so much?

But...... Still so sad...... It's so uncomfortable......

Why...... Is that stupid really that important to me?

Bastard!

How dare you deceive me!

I've just made up my mind to protect you!

This idiot!

It should be pierced with a super electromagnetic cannon to let you taste the fate of deceiving me!

Wrong......

Oops!

Mikoto Misaka, who didn't know what to think, suddenly stood up, and without wiping her tears, she hurriedly ran to where Inoue Yinghua was.

When I returned to the alley, I saw Inoue Yinghua who was dying, sitting on the ground against the wall in embarrassment.

"Stupid! Don't be reckless if you're so badly injured! Bastard! When you wake up, you'll be dismantled! ”

Mikoto Misaka complained unhappily as she picked up Inoue's heavy body and walked towards the side of the road.
