“Saten-san! You…” Misaka Mikoto looked at the room with only a single bed and a sleepy Saten Ruiko, her face full of bewilderment: “You’re sleeping here?”
“I… I… I!” Saten Ruiko was still worried about exposing the existence of Wind Silver,
She looked around for a moment before noticing that all the instruments were gone, quickly fabricating an excuse.
“Ah, I was supposed to move some things today, but it was too hot, so I waited here.
I didn’t know it was so cool here, and I fell asleep for a while!”
“This… Saten-san, you really have a big heart! Let’s go!
Don’t come here anymore, I’ll find a safer place!”
Misaka Mikoto was afraid that Wind Silver would pose a danger to Saten Ruiko, and she suggested finding a different place for her.
Saten Ruiko wiggled her hips and nimbly jumped off the bed, coming to Misaka Mikoto’s side and asking: “Safe? Is there any danger here?”
Saten Ruiko was also afraid of exposing Wind Silver.
“Not really. It’s just that there are too few people here, it’s not good for you to be here alone.” Misaka Mikoto mumbled, not intending to tell her about Wind Silver.
As the two of them went downstairs, the stairs, due to the recent electromagnetic tremors, suddenly loosened.
“Saten-san…” Misaka Mikoto was still reminiscing about Wind Silver and didn’t pay attention, unable to catch Saten Ruiko. Just as she wanted to use her electromagnetic powers to control the reinforced concrete slab to catch Saten Ruiko.
Unexpectedly, Saten Ruiko deftly kicked off the ground, landing steadily on the floor.
Misaka Mikoto blinked in astonishment, and then followed suit, jumping down to Saten Ruiko’s side, surprised to ask: “Saten-san, you… you have such amazing physical skills?”
Saten Ruiko was also shocked by her own agility: Has the gene modification taken effect? Wow! Wow! Wow! Am I a Level 5 now?
But even though she was excited, she didn’t want to reveal herself too quickly to Misaka Mikoto, so she just made up a few words.
When the two of them walked out of the building, Saten Ruiko saw the scene of destruction from Wind Silver and Misaka Mikoto’s brief exchange, and was stunned again: “What is this?”
“I told you this place was dangerous! Don’t come back here again, I’ll find another place for you!” Misaka Mikoto hurriedly pulled Saten Ruiko away from the dangerous building.
After parting ways with Misaka Mikoto, Saten Ruiko opened the chat group and prepared to reply to Wind Silver.
【Saten Ruiko: Wind Silver, have you gone back already?】
【Wind Silver: Yeah, I’m in my lab right now!】
【Saten Ruiko: That’s great, I was worried about you running into Misaka-senpai!】
【Wind Silver: I did run into Misaka Mikoto, but don’t worry, she doesn’t know about our relationship yet!】
【Saten Ruiko: Ah? You and Misaka-senpai… Oh! Was the scene of destruction outside the hallway caused by your fight with Misaka-senpai?】
【Wind Silver: We had a sparring match! Nothing major!】
【Saten Ruiko: OMG, Wind Silver, you were only controlling electromagnetic forces in your projection state, and you could go up against the ace of Tokiwadai?】
Saten Ruiko’s exclamation aroused the curiosity of the other group members.
【Amamiya: What, projections can also fight?】
【Wind Silver: It’s just a bit of electromagnetic reaction from the chat group! It has range limitations!】
【Liuying: Are you okay? Wind Silver, it’s very dangerous to fight other world’s aces!】
Liuying’s first concern was for Wind Silver’s safety.
【Wind Silver: I’m fine, I just used up a little more energy!】
【Saten Ruiko: Wind Silver, you’re so awesome, so does that mean I can become a Level 5 esper too?】
【Wind Silver: Of course, you’ve already broken the limits of your lifespan, slowly as your physical strength stabilizes, you can load the esper genes! Level 6 is even possible!】
【Saten Ruiko: Awesome, awesome, Wind Silver, I’ll find a way to send you all the Level 5 genes!】
Saten Ruiko, with her improved physique, excitedly jumped around the room.
【NICO: ·?))（Ah, Wind Silver, I’m back, I… I succeeded, we defeated the Dead End Butcher, and I also broke a big conspiracy!
I… I’m so excited! The laser eyes you gave me are so useful! Those 5,000 points were worth it!）】
NICO came back and sent a short voice message in a burst, then slammed the door shut, starting to take off her tight denim jeans, again only in her underwear, slumped back in the chair.
“Hey? NICO, doesn’t she even take a bath before coming in?” The new member of the Rabbit House, Neko, curiously asked Anbi.
“She must be going to play with toys, she’s been on this mission for too long, she needs some excitement to relax! Or maybe she has a boyfriend and needs to report back!” Anbi calmly explained nonsense to Neko.
Neko looked surprised: “Meow? This… NICO is so unrestrained at home? But NICO is really childish! She even hides in the house to play with toys!”
Anbi immediately pressed Neko’s little head: “Little kid, don’t pry!
NICO is a grown woman, she needs to let loose, otherwise she’ll be prone to bad temper if she holds it in for too long! Come on, let’s go take a bath! Neko!”
“Meow! I’m not a little kid! Why don’t you say she’s a little kid when NICO plays with toys? Meow!” Neko followed Anbi’s steps in a huff.
