Crystal droplets of water kept dripping onto Chen Xiaofeng's cheeks.

Warm teardrops, as gentle as spring rain.

Great—Chen Xiaofeng opened his mouth to speak, but he couldn't make any sound. However, he showed a happy expression and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I thought about it."

Chen Xiaofeng, who fell to the ground, said.

But Mikoto Misaka did not answer. In the silence of the night, only the sound of fingers rubbing the corners of his eyes could be heard.

“…… I thought of a way that wouldn't be sacrificed by anyone. ”

Mikoto Misaka's throat made a surprised sound.

"If you think about it, it's actually quite simple."

Let's put aside the purpose of the other party's need for Mikoto Misaka. The other party is an enemy who is completely prepared for the super electromagnetic cannon, but what if the person who goes is not the super electromagnetic cannon?

Those complete preparations are completely useless, right?

"So, if they want you to go, you can't go."

"Not me...... Are you going to go on your own? Don't be kidding, it's clear that you're stopping me with such righteous words, but you have such a plan. ”

"Huh...... Listen to me. ”

That's right. All of the opponent's defensive preparations are aimed at Mikoto Misaka's super electromagnetic cannon, so if it is not her, it can be very difficult to make these defensive measures useless.

Such a surprise will make the other party feel unprepared, right?

Just like Chen Xiaofeng's feeling when he heard that Minato was missing.

"That's impossible......"

However, Mikoto Misaka said lightly.

"That's how the other party does it...... Even if the facilities that are going to be used against me are useless because of the change of opponents, who knows if they don't have the facilities to prepare? To be able to do something like that with such fanfare in such a busy mall, I don't think they would have been prepared like that. Mikoto Misaka said plaintively.

Biting his lip hard, it felt like he was about to bleed.

"And do you think I'm going to leave you alone in that danger?" Mikoto Misaka smiled a little effortlessly, and then said, "I think you should know my mood, right?"

In a way, these two are really a match.

"En......"

Chen Xiaofeng knew that Mikoto Misaka's words would also stop herself as if she were stopping her.

Mikoto Misaka's psychology is very similar to Chen Xiaofeng, and she doesn't want the people around her to be in danger. Suffering, suffering, injuries – you will take care of it.

Chen Xiaofeng is very clear about Mikoto Misaka's thoughts.

"That said, but it's a little different when I go."

Chen Xiaofeng's words surprised Mikoto Misaka from the bottom of her heart, and she couldn't help but hold her breath.

However, this is the only way to go.

I don't want anyone to sacrifice ...... This is what Mikoto Misaka and Chen Xiaofeng think together - but "sacrifice" is for people who are alive, and for people who "will die".

In this case, as long as there is "no life", as long as Chen Xiaofeng, who "will not die", does it.

Chen Xiaofeng has decided to tell Mikoto Misaka about his own affairs.

This is the first time that Chen Xiaofeng has told others about the "zombie" in person.

Chen Xiaofeng wanted to take his head off Mikoto Misaka's thigh and stood up. But the body doesn't listen.

Chen Xiaofeng's head slipped off Mikoto Misaka's thigh and fell on the hard ground.

It hurts.

However, he still clenched his teeth, and his fingers wriggled like maggots, slowly, slowly, with all his strength, to prop his body up from the ground.

Mikoto Misaka looked at Chen Xiaofeng who worked so hard in disbelief.

Just maintaining a kneeling posture, Chen Xiaofeng's tired body made him feel like he was about to die.

Looking at the gritted teeth and stubborn Kamijo, Mikoto Misaka said in a trembling voice, "Do you want to ...... What for?" Mikoto Misaka's expression was as if she had seen something unbelievable: "You shouldn't say that you are invincible, right?" If you're the same as one party, I don't believe it either, but ...... It's just that now you, if you go, won't it be ......"

Chen Xiaofeng did not answer immediately. He just silently poured his strength into his feet, trying to get up from a kneeling position.

Mikoto Misaka didn't know what to say.

Chen Xiaofeng still silently poured all his strength into his trembling knees, trembling and trying to stand up.

"Now you ......"

Mikoto Misaka's tears that had been stopped fell again, and her tearful eyes seemed to be begging Chen Xiaofeng: Don't stand up again.

Chen Xiaofeng still didn't answer. Move your body that will fall down if you touch it slightly, and stand up slowly, slowly.

"Why?" Mai Trin asked in a lost childish voice, "Reason ......"

The reason, Chen Xiaofeng is also unsure.

He only knows how beautiful it would be if he could use his own ability to rescue his sister and rescue Mikoto Misaka, who had fallen into the darkness of self-blame.

So, Chen Xiaofeng stood up.

Relying on his own feet, he did not use any ability, and stepped on the earth steadily, and that posture was like swearing his determination.

"Misaka, you probably don't know yet, do you? I'm actually ......."

Chen Xiaofeng looked at Meiqin's face.

It felt like it had been a long time since I saw Mikoto Misaka's face again. But her eyes were already red with tears.

Chen Xiaofeng's lips were closed one by one, like a goldfish in a bathtub.

Slowly telling, slowly explaining, the whole world is silent as if the mute button has been pressed.

Mikoto Misaka's eyes revealed a huge surprise, and tears slipped down again.

……

"Do you understand that?"

Chen Xiaofeng looked at Mikoto Misaka with a smile.

Mikoto Misaka turned her head in a daze, dazed—or at least unsure of how to describe her expression.

"So...... Those who are not qualified to be saved should have deceived you for so long. ”

Mikoto Misaka remained motionless as if she had been hit by petrification magic.

Chen Xiaofeng didn't care about such a reaction, but who had no way to accept it, and took out the note from Mikoto Misaka's pocket.

After taking a look at Mikoto Misaka, Chen Xiaofeng turned around and left...... However, the sleeve of her shirt was pulled by her.

Mikoto Misaka didn't speak, it should be said that she couldn't speak, she was choked up and couldn't speak, even so, she shook her head vigorously.

Chen Xiaofeng smiled.

"If you forgive me, then just talk to me when I get back."

Chen Xiaofeng gently stroked the top of Misaka Mikoto's head, and the hand pulling the sleeve gradually loosened.

Chen Xiaofeng finally disappeared into the dark night.

……

"Oops, oops...... Perverted people really like to be in the limelight. ”

Not far away, Aini said with a smile.
