"Ah, it's Mr. Kamijou. Long time no see." Yoshino came to Misaka Mikoto's side and greeted Kamijou Touma.
It had been a few days since the incident of finding an H-magazine under the bed. It seemed Mr. Kamijou was still alive and well.
Now she was even more convinced of how powerful Kamijou Touma's cockroach-like vitality was.
"Ah… Hello. Classmate Shikino and Miss Toujou." Kamijou Touma, who originally thought it was only Misaka Mikoto, still clearly remembered the incident where Teacher Tsukuyomi Moon-Meng had given him a good lecture because of Yoshino's sudden visit.
Fortunately, Teacher Tsukuyomi Moon-Meng hadn't told the classmates about this, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to hold his head up in class anymore.
"Was everything alright after what happened last time? Teacher Komoe seemed to have said she was going to give you a good education, Mr. Kamijou. Were there any problems?"
Yoshino, with three parts concern and seven parts curiosity, asked Kamijou Touma. She didn't know what had happened between Kamijou Touma and Teacher Tsukuyomi Moon-Meng before.
How exactly would Teacher Tsukuyomi Moon-Meng punish the unlucky Mr. Kamijou?
"Actually, Teacher Komoe didn't give Mr. Kamijou a hard time. She just lectured Mr. Kamijou for a few hours," Kamijou Touma said with a wry smile, scratching his head.
That day, she was invited by Teacher Komoe to listen to a lecture while performing a dogeza, which lasted for several hours. Although she was already used to listening to lectures while performing a dogeza.
But at that time, Tsukuyomi Moon-Meng was sitting in a chair, crossing her legs, and lecturing Kamijou Touma. After it ended, she felt like her legs were numb.
"But Mr. Kamijou, why are you here now? This is a women's exclusive store. As a man coming here, what exactly are you trying to do? You wouldn't be accompanying a girlfriend here, would you, Mr. Kamijou?" Toujou Nozomi, who had been stroking her chin, stepped forward. This situation was quite inexplicable.
A man coming to a women's exclusive store without a good explanation would be taken away by a Disciplinary Committee Member, then picked up by Tsukuyomi Moon-Meng for more lecturing.
"Oh my, oh my~ Mr. Kamijou must no longer be able to satisfy his adolescent urges with 'H' magazines, so he came to this place with the most beautiful young girls to watch them enter changing rooms and catch glimpses of their youthful skin as they change clothes. Ah! Ah! How perverted! Unlucky Mr. Kamijou, you can't do this! Disciplinary Committee Member! There's a pervert here!!!"
Shiina shouted exaggeratedly, deliberately letting the surrounding girls who were still shopping hear its voice. Everyone looked at Kamijou Touma as if he were a pervert.
Misaka Mikoto stood in front of Yoshino, looking at Kamijou Touma with a wary expression. She extended her right hand, and static electricity flickered on her palm and forehead.
She originally thought Kamijou Touma was just a busybody, but she didn't expect him to be such a hentai. People really can't be judged by their appearance.
"Wait! Wait, it's not what you imagine. Can you please listen to my explanation? Mr. Kamijou has a reason for this."
Seeing all the surrounding girls looking at him with disdain, if he didn't explain clearly, then Mr. Kamijou would have no face left to stay in Academy City.
"Big brother, I want to go over there and look at dresses," a cute Little Loli came up to Kamijou Touma, tugging on his pant leg, and said excitedly.
"Uh, look, I brought this child here to Seventh Mist today because I saw her on the street wanting to buy a dress. You have to believe me!"
He pushed the Little Loli in front of everyone. She was his witness. Stop looking at him like that; it's really dazzling.
"Hello! Is this the Security Officer? There's a gentleman here kidnapping a Little Loli, right here at Seventh Mist..." Seeing the Little Loli, Toujou Nozomi decisively picked up her phone to call for an arrest.
"Stop! Miss Toujou, it's really not what you imagine! Please stop ruining Mr. Kamijou's image, okay?"
Kamijou Touma immediately knelt on the ground, offering his utmost respect, begging Toujou Nozomi to let him off the hook.
"Hehehe~ I was just joking with you. You go play with that Little Girl for now." Toujou Nozomi covered her mouth and smiled elegantly, waving her hand as if the previous incident wasn't caused by her. Kamijou Touma quickly pulled the girl and hurried away from there.
This woman named Toujou Nozomi was truly terrifying, several times more exhausting than being chased by a dozen delinquents. This wasn't physical exhaustion; it was mental exhaustion.
"Yoshino, how did you get to know that guy?" Misaka Mikoto asked, lowering her guard. How did Yoshino get to know this strange and rude guy?
"We met when I went to the supermarket to buy ingredients. Yoshino accidentally bumped into Mr. Kamijou, causing the eggs Mr. Kamijou bought to fall and break on the ground. So Yoshino compensated Mr. Kamijou for the ingredients, and that's how we met." Unlucky Mr. Kamijou, is it considered lucky to meet such a kind Yoshino when he's down on his luck?
"But Yoshino kindly compensated him with so many ingredients. Yoshino only broke one carton of his eggs, so why compensate so much?"
If it weren't for Suzuya Yuriko giving enough pocket money, Yoshino would have been at a huge disadvantage!
"N-no, don't say that, Shiina. Mr. Kamijou is already very unlucky. Yoshino just wanted to help Mr. Kamijou have a good meal this way. It's nothing."
She just wanted to help out, after all, in the original work, after Index appeared, Mr. Kamijou's suffering began. Either he was bitten on the head or got involved in strange incidents and ended up in the hospital. It could be said to be a tale of sorrow.
"Is that so? That's very much like Yoshino, giving more to others after bumping into them."
'How kind, Yoshino. It seems that the song that could be called a hymn earlier must have been sung by Yoshino.'
That feeling of inner peace since just now was indeed because Yoshino was by her side.
Meanwhile, Saten Ruiko and Uiharu Kazari, who were helping Misaka Mikoto pick out clothes, suddenly received a call from Shirai Kuroko.
"Uiharu, where are you right now?! 'Graviton' is about to happen again! Academy City has detected an explosive acceleration of gravitons. I've already dispatched nearby Security Officers to the scene immediately."
"Where is the observation point?"
"Seventh Mist, the dress shop in District 7! Where are you, Uiharu!?"
