Blood.

Bright red blood.

Only blood.

At this moment, all that filled the eyes was the bewitching blood red!

It's so striking that it can't even hold anything else!

Mikoto Misaka's eyes were reflected in a bloody ...... that came out of someone's back. Palm.

In the palm of his hand, he held a red object the size of a fist that seemed to be still beating - it was the heart!

The heart of man!

A man named Inoue Hideka's, heart!

Unbelievable.

or

Can't believe it?

No!

I can't believe it, right?

Yes, I can't believe it!

At this moment, Mikoto Misaka didn't even plan to believe her eyes anymore.

That's not true, how can it be?

While the brown-haired boy clenched his palm, blood splattered!

She understood what that meant.

That guy, that stupid, that scum called Inoue Hideka - will die!

This is not true, how is this possible!

So, how could this be true!

How is this possible!!

Mikoto Misaka's mind flashed back to the scene that happened last night.

At that time, the young man in front of him who was pinched and burst his heart was still alive.

At that time, I had just made an appointment for the future!

At that time, didn't he still have the leisure to laugh at himself——————

The living room of Eika Inoue in the evening.

Today is the last day of the Daiba Star Festival, and, for the first time, with Inoue Hideka's normal participation, Mikoto Misaka won the punishment game.

So, she couldn't wait to come back.

Mikoto Misaka, the punishment game on the sixth day, lost, although even if she didn't lose, Misaka Mikoto, who knew that Inoue Hideka liked long-haired girls, would probably start to grow her hair, but losing the game really made her feel very unhappy.

So, she was quite happy to win the punishment game head-on today.

Looking at Inoue Yinghua who was sitting in the living room boringly flipping the remote control, Mikoto Misaka raised her eyebrows and said proudly:

"I said, how about I won the punishment game today? Convincing or not? ”

"Ah...... Is it? So what is Mai Trin's punishment, have you thought about it? ”

To be honest, Mikoto Misaka's punishment is like that, and slowly Inoue Hideka doesn't care so much.

Still pressing the remote control indiscriminately, he said lazily to Mikoto Misaka.

"Tsk! What an attitude you have, you bastard! In that case, I must punish you severely! ”

Angered by Hideka Inoue's casual attitude, Mikoto Misaka pouted and said angrily.

"By the way, I promised to meet my senior sister before, and I already told her that the time is set for tomorrow at noon, do you hear it, stupid!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Whatever you say is what it is......"

"Humph! In this case, the day after tomorrow, there is an event in the mall over there in the 13th school district, you guy, go grab the limited edition Gua Tai jewelry for me! And then, and then, and then you have to follow me, help, help me get things! Mai Trin-sama is going shopping! ”

"Hey ......"

Hearing Mikoto Misaka's words, Inoue Yinghua put down the remote control and turned his head to look at Mikoto Misaka speechlessly.

Isn't it just to accompany you shopping?

Frankly saying this sentence will make you die or what?

"By the way, I remember one thing. Remember that there is a rule in the punishment game, saying that the overall winner of the game has the right to refuse the punishment for the last day, right? Now we're 3-3, tie! So, there should be an extra test to determine who is the overall winner, right? ”

"Huh? Yes, is there such a thing? ”

Inoue Yinghua's words made Mikoto Misaka, who was very confident, nervous all of a sudden.

It's not that you don't lack self-confidence, but if you lose......

Thinking of this, Mikoto Misaka couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

"Oh? Didn't you? ”

Inoue Yinghua looked proudly at Mikoto Misaka with a look of disappointment on her face, and asked with a smile.

Then, without waiting for Mikoto Misaka to answer, she put away the smugness on her face and said with relief:

"Well, maybe I'm mistaken. So be it, I'll go shopping with you the day after tomorrow! Hey! ”

"Huh? W-what! Who, who needs you bastard! ”

was debunked in person, Mikoto Misaka retorted with a flushed face.

However, she also reacted immediately, Inoue Yinghua was obviously teasing her just now.

Thinking of this, he shouted angrily:

"Bastard! You just did it on purpose, right? ”

"It's not."

"Damn! Or say no? I understood my words at once, absolutely deliberately! ”

"No, no, if you want to call me, just come. Anyway, I'm not afraid of being kissed~~"

Crunch crunch...... Gritting teeth.

——————

Familiar slapstick, familiar teasing.

Day in and day out, the ordinary things that are carried out every day are called daily routines.

But now, this daily routine, which seemed not boring to her, seemed to be over.

Can a person live without a heart?

Why is that guy going to die?

Shouldn't you be the one who died?

The long-awaited time after nearly a month of absence, after this guy experienced amnesia, the time he spent alone with himself again is obviously tomorrow.

Why, is this happening at this time?

Why

Why is this happening?

If, at that time,

I didn't buy that card of Indian poker at the time......

If, at that time,

Didn't listen to him and left......

If

At that time————

Rewind to half an hour ago.

Mikoto Misaka walked on the way to the predetermined place as agreed.

I said it before.,I'm going to introduce the schoolgirl to a certain stupid guy at noon today.。

Even if she is reluctant, what she promises is what she promises, and she is not such a stingy girl - except when she is emotionally out of control, of course.

On the side of the street was a vendor selling Indian poker, a rather rounded vendor with round sunglasses.

It's not the first time Mikoto Misaka has seen him.

Because of what the fool said to Saten before that he was collecting interesting Indian poker, Mikoto Misaka has also been paying attention to the matter of Indian poker 'slightly' recently.

It's just that all she saw before was poker that she didn't think was new, so she didn't buy it from him.

With the attitude of giving it a try, Mikoto Misaka asked the vendor again.

This time it was very unexpected, the poker Mikoto Misaka, which was highly recommended by the hawker, was also a little interested, so she simply bought it.

It is said to be a technique that allows even small objects to be picked up with chopsticks.

After paying, Mikoto Misaka took out her phone, intending to ask if some idiot had gone to the meeting as promised, and by the way, it was really just by the way, announcing his results to him.

However, what he was waiting for was not his surprise and unexpected compliment, but after asking her address-

"Mai Trin, don't ask. Stay where you are, you know? Don't move! Wait for me...... I'm going to look for you right now! ”

The voice is serious and anxious...... There was even a hint of panic that I had never heard in the mouth of that idiot!

Although Mikoto Misaka didn't know what was going on, she didn't even think about it, but out of trust in someone, she still stayed where she was and didn't leave.

As the minutes passed, Mikoto Misaka, who was already impatient, began to get agitated.

Even so, she waited patiently.

Her instincts told her that the idiot wasn't the one to joke about it.

However, she rarely showed patience, and what she was waiting for was not the familiar figure.

Rather, a strange, slender and tall brown-haired teenager!

The young man with an unusually frivolous attitude opened his mouth to reveal her identity......

"I don't want to fight you if I can. But your identity, it can't be an unrelated person, the third place, the super electromagnetic cannon - Mikoto Misaka? Of course, if you're willing to give that thing to me, I can make your death easier! ”
