me, the protagonist

"...Don't worry about it," Sakura Yamabuki laughed dryly, comforting against her will: "This kind of situation is very common, and I sometimes, will encounter it."

The male high school student did not show a comforted expression.

Even if you know that the probability of bad luck happening every day is half and half, but if you fall to "bad" three times in a row, the probability is very small.

Yamabuki Sakura carefully suggested: "May I wait with you for a while? The next elevator should come up soon."

Because the exhibition hall only has 5 floors, the frequency of elevators going up and down is still very high.Choosing to climb the stairs across the entire second floor will reduce efficiency.

The heating here is fully turned on, maybe after climbing two floors out of breath, the ice cream will start to transform into sticky sugar water.

"No no no, you've already helped me a lot, I'm sorry to waste your time." To Yamabuki Sakura's proposal, the young man hurriedly said: "I can just wait by myself."

To be able to meet this kind of thing in private with a popular idol, it is absolutely wishful to be replaced by other male high school students.But Kamijou hopes to separate from his idol Sakura as soon as possible.

"Fortune" sounds illusory, but as long as there is a little "evidence", people are very inclined to believe it.Kamijou, who is often unlucky, was once called the "Plague God" by the people around him, thinking that getting close to him would bring misfortune.

Kamijou still doesn't understand what is going on with his bad luck, he doesn't want the girl to suffer from this kind of bad luck because of her good intentions.If so, he would be extremely sorry.

"It's okay, I have nothing to do next, let me... Please let me wait with you!"

Strangers who meet by chance will usually give up and leave here, but idol Sakura, who has no idea that her identity has been exposed, makes a request even more enthusiastically.

There is an old saying that "a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall".But for those who have never seen the dangerous wall, even if they know this proverb, it is difficult to restrain their curiosity.

In other words, Yamabuki Sakura, who has never encountered a "dangerous wall" since she was born, is now more curious than ever.

In the end, the two of them waited for the elevator together.

There were not so many people in the second elevator, only four or five people stood here and there.

Sakura Yamabuki breathed a sigh of relief for Kamijou while regretting: "Go, or the ice cream will melt?"

Kamijou nodded, took the ice cream and walked into the elevator with more than enough space.

beep

The moment Kamijou stepped into the elevator with both feet, a sharp siren sounded immediately, filling the entire elevator car.

"Is this... overloaded?"

The people in the elevator were the first to react, looking at the elevator that was still not full even with Kamijou added, with doubts on their faces.

No matter how many people looked at it, Kamijou tried to re-enter the elevator, but the overload alarm sounded again the moment he entered.

"Then there is no other way." The man who pressed the elevator button shook his head, "Young man, you'd better wait for the next trip."

Other people who got on from the first floor are of course impossible to go down, and the elevator door cannot be closed under overload conditions.Kamijou could only hold the ice cream that was starting to soften, and exit the elevator:

"……Excuse me."

If you can't go up after several shifts, is there a chance of survival if you take the stairs?

When Kamijou began to hesitate about this matter, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of someone walking into the elevator beside him.

"? Then the elevator will be overloaded—"

Kamijou had no time to stop, Sakura Yamabuki was already standing firmly in the elevator, but the siren did not sound.

"Sure enough, the elevator malfunctioned just now. Kamijou-kun, come in and try again."

After Yamabuki Sakura exited, Kamijou entered instead.

Di-

"Thank you, but let's forget it," Kamijou said with a wry smile, "Probably because of my weight."

Sakura Yamabuki outside the elevator pursed her lower lip, and pushed Kamijou who was about to get out back into the elevator.Amidst the incessant sirens, she herself walked into the elevator car.

Kamijou alone can't do it, plus Yamabuki Sakura, isn't it obvious that it will be overloaded?

The alarm sound stopped abruptly, and the stainless steel elevator door slowly closed and started to operate normally.

The matter was settled, and the other people in the elevator stopped talking.Yamabuki Sakura smiled: "It is really impossible for this number to be overloaded. It must be something wrong with the elevator."

Kamijou felt a little guilty: "Compared to this... I'm really sorry for causing you to make a trip."

"It just so happens that I have nothing else to do," Yamabuki Sakura smiled, "Speaking of which, did you buy this cone for someone else? Girlfriend?"

"I also really hope that it will be such a wonderful development as "I will accompany my girlfriend to Sapporo to play on the rest day", but," Kamijou covered his forehead with one hand, showing a tired and headache expression: "Unfortunately, things are more complicated and troublesome than this a little. "

He asked, "Aren't you on this floor?"

The rest of the people got off the elevator on the 3rd floor of the main stadium, Sakura Yamabuki pressed the door close button: "I also want to go to the [-]th floor, do you mind if I follow?"

She seemed to understand the rules of Kamijou Touma's fortune. If she just got off the elevator like this, maybe the overload alarm would sound in the elevator car with Kamijou alone.

What kind of horror story development is that, Yamabuki Sakurako feels hairy just thinking about it.

For the mental health of two people, it is better not to have this kind of thing happen.

Of course Kamijou would not refuse, and took the elevator with her to the fourth floor.

"There are still 3 minutes. If he doesn't come back within the agreed time, Misaka will take measures to achieve his goal. Misaka made a threatening statement."

When the elevator door opened, the conversation outside happened to reach Yamabuki Sakura's ears.Before she had time to think about whether she had heard the name "Misaka" before, she was fully focused by the scene in front of her.

How should I put it, it's a little weirder than I imagined.

There was a nun here.

About the age of a middle school student like Kageyama-kun, with silver hair and blue eyes, looks like a foreigner, wearing a loose white monastic uniform.

Different from the common black and white monastic uniform, the one on the silver-haired girl was made of pure white silk, and it was covered with golden embroidery everywhere.Looks like a gold-leaf European teacup that nouveau riche would love.

"Touma! You're finally back... who is she?"

The little nun saw that Kamijou's eyes lit up, and then her eyes moved to Yamabuki Sakura who was tightly wrapped: "How do I feel that I have seen you before, on that big, big screen..."

"Can you see it this way?" Yamabuki Sakura was stunned for a moment: "Then Kamijo-kun...?"

"Index," Kamijou called her name helplessly, apologizing to Sakura Yamabuki: "I'm sorry, Sakura."

To put it bluntly, the reason why Yamabuki Sakura can walk on the street without incident after disguising is not because of how clever her disguise is.It's because of "fortunately avoiding everyone's eyes", as long as someone pays attention to her, she will recognize her real body without much effort.

"I thought this outfit was perfect," Sakura Yamabuki took off her mask, hat and glasses in frustration, and she has been enduring under the warm air of the central air conditioner.

Now she could see more clearly that the reason why Sister Index didn't wrap her hair up was because her nun's hat embroidered with gold thread was being held by another person.

"As long as you hand over what you have, Misaka will release the "hostage" as promised.Misaka, who was attracted by the ice cream, couldn't help urging. "

Ten minutes ago, Index's expensive nun's hat was taken as a "hostage" by a girl who called herself Misaka, and asked Kamijou to exchange it for limited joint ice cream, and the following series of things happened.

Sakura Yamabuki recalled the surname: "Misaka... Mikoto? "

The girl in front of her did indeed have the same appearance as the third person in Academy City LV.5 — "Railgun" Misaka Mikoto.Even the beige suit and dark blue fine-check pleated skirt are exactly the same as Misaka Mikoto who came to Yokohama in winter.

But the girl's eyes are different from ordinary people, staring at the entire space as if she has no focus of sight.She replied Sakura Yamabuki: "I am my younger sister, and Misaka answered immediately."

"Is Mikoto's younger sister?" This is still not enough to explain the confusion in Yamabuki Sakura's heart: "Isn't Academy City going through a very complicated application? Why is my sister here... Mikoto is also here?"

"Misaka came here to participate in the outdoor experiment. I don't know if my sister has gone there. Misaka used her words as a cover and approached the real target quietly."

Misaka-san returned the nun's hat to Kamijou Touma, and at the same time took the purple ice cream from him.The tip of the ice cream has softened, and it looks like it will flow down the cone in a few seconds.With an amazing appetite, Misaka quickly finished the ice cream.

"The vanilla ice cream tastes refreshing, rich and not greasy. The combination of the outer layer of taro and chocolate sauce is also perfect. It is worthy of queuing up to buy ice cream. After the tasting, Misaka spared no effort to praise it."

"You're not the one in line, okay?" Kamijou Touma said nothing more, hastily put the nun's hat on Index.

"Outdoor experiment? Is it going to be in a collaborative research institution in Sapporo?" Yamabuki Sakura asked, "It's completely opposite to this exhibition hall. When did your experiment start?"

"A problem related to the experiment is detected, and Misaka will perform password confirmation. ZC74ASD852QWE963, Misaka will test you."

Yamabuki Sakura: "...I'm just afraid you'll be late, so I just asked for a time."

She didn't think it was necessary to be so rigorous, but she still chose to respect the traditions of Academy City, and took out her mobile phone to ask her relatives: "Let me ask your sister... It's amazing to be able to memorize such a long code."

Sakura Yamabuki found Misaka Mikoto's contact information, and was about to dial it, but the phone received a call from someone else first.

"Senior Jiang Gu?"

Didn't he go to the Institute of Cooperation?Why did you happen to call at this time?

"Hey, senior—"

"Sakura," the other party interrupted her before finishing speaking, "I met Misaka Mikoto here."

"What a coincidence, I also ran into Meiqin's younger sister in the hall."

"That's not what I'm going to say," Jiang Gu Ling was supposed to be outside, and the sound of wheels rolling over the snow and the whistling wind could be heard on the phone.The voice of Jianggu seemed a little weak, but the anxiety in xvzl was hard to ignore:

"Sakura, why doesn't Misaka remember her coming to Yokohama this year?"

Furutani Rei is Misaka Mikoto seen in the alley near the research facility.

When Misaka Mikoto came to Yokohama for an exchange, he had already entered the port mafia and was responsible for some of the work in the exchange activities.In such a head-on collision, Jiang Gu could only choose to greet each other.

But unexpectedly, Misaka Mikoto showed a strange and guarded look, and she had no impression of him at all.

Furutani Rei himself is engaged in espionage work, and can easily distinguish between "pretend not to know" and "really know nothing".The bewilderment in Misaka Mikoto's expression didn't seem fake at all, she even said:

""Yokohama Exchange"? "

"The school seems to be discussing with people outside, but that's still in the planning stage, right?"
