*Bzztt Bzzt* The vibrant sound of a mobile device awoken the once slumbered 'ojou sama'. She lazily tried searching for her phone, her arm moving in random places. As her hand touched the cold moving device, she grabbed it and her eyes struggled to open from the sudden light of the device and clicked through the envelope icon.

Time:7:26

Misaka san, are you going to be busy today?

If you're free, let's hang out in Seventh Mist! \(^▽^)/

I'll be waiting at 9 sharp!

Okay, see you there! Message me back! ヾ(^∇^)

❀Saten Ruiko❀

A smile adorned her face as her eyes glanced through the message. Her fingers moved swiftly as she replied to it and closed her phone in content, getting through the peaceful morning with her daily duties without a certain pervert bothering her. 'Wonder where she went, maybe early Judgement duties. Surely it's so peaceful without her sexual antics to bother the rare tranquility.'


Wearing her must wear at all times Tokiwadai uniform, she walked down the stairs to the vacant dining room, settling on the grand window with the early shine glamouring towards her.

"MISAKA MISAKA!" a small girl who is clearly younger than the latter adorns a navy blue maid outfit with a frilly apron, a typical maid you'll imagine approaches the chestnut haired middle schooler.

Misaka glances at the bustling and festive maid as she prances in front of her while the latter takes her seat near by the grand window where the warm sunlight penetrates the pure white silk curtains.

"Tsuchimikado, the usual please," Misaka said casually to the Ryouran student as she laid back on the royally carved wooden chair.

"Roger!" Maika replied enthusiastically, in the span of a few seconds, holding a tray of eggs, sausages, bread, cereal, accompanying with a teacup and a pot full of tea.

As the maid poured the cup of tea, she started her conversation inquiring the Level 5, "So for you to wake up early, do you finally have plans on doing something other than your everyday unladylike routines?"

"You sure know how to insult me in one comment..." Misaka glared at her as she grinned in response. She sighed as she responded, "I have plans to shop with Saten-san in Seventh Mist."

Maika's excitement grew as she raised her voice a bit higher,"Oh oh! Then can you buy me a new apron?! This apron is getting really dirty to the point that washing it won't help much," she touched the hem of her dress, lifting it up to show the stains on her frilly apron.

"You don't have any spares in your closet?" Misaka questioned.

"Yeah but having the same one is too tiring," Maika puffed her cheeks a little,"I want to be unique from the other maids, showing off my new apron."

Misaka let out a smile,"Though you have those lacy cuffs."

"It seems someone bought a better one than mine.."

The ojou sama finally gave up as she let out a sigh,"Fine, if I ever find an apron, I'll make sure to buy it."

Maika's eyes sparkled with tears,"Thank youu! I'll be counting on you then Misaka~" she delightfully skipped to the kitchen with the empty tray. She suddenly stopped her step midway as she turned to the latter. "Misaka, are you only shopping with Saten?"

Misaka puzzled at her question, arched her eyebrows in confusion,"Yeah..." she answered carefully.

Maika lamented back,"I see.. I feel bad for you Misaka." she shook her head in sympathy, "You're in that age where boyfriends are almost a necessity. Don't you have one yet?"

The electromaster's face started to heat up as an image of a certain misfortunate teenager threatened to appear in her mind. She tried shaking her thoughts away and prevented to show her flushed face.

Her expression didn't go unnoticed however as the smirk that plastered on her face grew even wider. "Ale~ Does Misaka have a love interest then?~" she used her free hand to cover her lips from the uncontrollable giggles that she might let out.

Misaka tried denying as much as she can while backing away towards the door.

"Misaka, your words are contradicting your expressions.~ You're really bad at lying but I guess that's a good thing in this case~"

The beet red faced girl pouted from this sentence,"What do you mean by that Tsuchimikado?!"

"Haha, anyways you should hurry! You're going to have to buy the apron fast before someone takes it!" Maika glanced at her watch, naturally changing the subject before it gets more complicated and hotter than it already is.

Misaka tried retorting but instead let out a sigh,"Fine.. that's if I can find any.." she stood up, wiping her lips with tints of oil with a clean white handkerchief.

As Misaka walked towards the door, Maika added, risking her life to tease the Level 5, "Good luck in finding a boyfriend!"

"Tsuchimikadoo!" the maid smiled innocently and brightly and her red flushed face.


"Seriously, Tsuchimikado.. I think I should have another maid bring my breakfast.. I've been hanging around her too much..." Misaka muttered as the trivial events were playing around in her head as the young maid teased the adolescent ojou sama.

She took out her childish green shaded frog Gekota phone, checking the time while ambling on the vacant sidewalk and streets.

'8:27.. Still have some time before our appointed meeting," she thought as she looked at the azure morning sky with the small floating clouds surrounding the holy luminous sun,"guess I'll have my morning stroll before going.. I still have to read Aotsuki no Ao's latest chapter.. Ao is so cute in there! Who wouldn't love that little guy?!" Misaka smiled gleefully as she was lost in her thoughts. Her destination was the usual convenience store she always stops by, reading the magazines on the rack. She was lucky that the store managers was nice and disregarded her actions as she didn't have to buy all of the ones she reads, which would just take up her space in the dorm which was unnecessary after she reads it.


In another residence, a girl with long raven hair with a lone opalescent lily bundling her locks on the left side of her hair. She sported a frilly blouse with a simple navy blue dress over it. She donned beige pants that reached down to her ankle with the finish of clean pale white sandals that had the appearance of a recently bought item. She tied her strands of hair while holding it with her hand, staring in front of the reflecting mirror. She tilted her head side to side as she tested out her temporary ponytail. She had a look of dissatisfaction, bringing her hands down as she removed her hands from her hair.

'I guess I'll leave my hair down. It feels most comfortable like this anyways' Ruiko thought as she glanced back at the mirror before grabbing her phone with her special red charm that hung as a strap from it. She couldn't separate from it no matter where she goes. Though she wasn't the type in relying on superstition, given that she was in a city where science explains every aspect and creating the impossible, her mother has given it to her personally for her well being. She couldn't abandon such kindness from her. Also, it didn't hurt not to at least just hold onto it with her; it sometimes did give her fortune that she sometimes needed, especially having friends that she never knew she would have.

She took out her lone key from her pocket as she locked her apartment door and walked out. She shielded her face from the gleaming sun that permeated through the gaps of her fingers. As she roamed with her eyes covered, her face crashed into a chest of another being.

"I-I-I-I'm sorry!" Ruiko immediately backed away as she apologized profusingly as her face flushed in embarrassment,"I wasn't paying attention where I was walking and-"

"It's okay. I wasn't looking where I wasn't watching where I was walking either," the person smiled gently as he didn't mind much of her clumsiness,"the feeling's mutual."

After bowing repeatedly, she lifted her head a bit and peeked at him, and her eyes widened a bit as she recognized this man.

"Ahh! The cool guy that was following Misaka san!" she pointed an accusing finger at him as he stared at her with bewilderment at the sudden accusation.

Realizing her mistake on her comment, she covered her mouth immediately and again, started bowing, "I'm sorry!"

"It's okay, it's okay! I'm actually flattered from your compliment on calling me cool.." he scratched his head from the praise. "Though judging from your phrase, I presume you know Misaka san?"

"H-hai.. I'm Saten Ruiko." the girl stuttered as she introduced herself, blushing from her past mistake in embarrassment.

"I'm Unabara Mitsuki, nice to meet you," 'Mitsuki' extended his hand for greetings. Ruiko shook it in response.

"U-um.. I saw you with Misaka san once, w-what is your relationship with her? Are you really stalking her?..." Ruiko started questioning the male before noticing the last question she asked,"A-ah! W-well, Misaka san said that you were s-stalking her so..!"

"Yes, I am," 'Unabara Mitsuki' answered bluntly without hesitation.

'..That.. easily..?' Ruiko stared at him in shock.

"Misaka san is really an amazing person. Even without her status as Tokiwdai's Ace, her radiance is sparkling and brilliant to my eyes. It makes me have this feeling of wanting to protect that luster she emits."

Ruiko smiled in his statement,"I know how you feel.. Unabara san. Misaka san is that type of person."

He nodded in response, though his eyes suddenly drooped,"But as you can see, Misaka san has come to dislike me.. I can't even get her to notice me, much less than being able to protect her.." his eyes was downcasted, staring the floor with his hands clenching together.

Ruiko wanted to at least try comforting a bit, though she was a stranger but he spoke ahead before being able to take action,"But I'm sure 'he' would be able to keep our promise. He probably is the best choice in becoming Misaka san's knight and I'm sure Misaka san accepts him as such." Unabara's eyes changed from sadness to tenderness and Ruiko felt relieved from his change in expression.

"Um.. who's 'he'?" Ruiko asked out of curiosity from the unspecific male he's explaining.

The answer he gave was just his usual pleasant smile with silence. Ruiko became confused on his message and he finally walked passed Ruiko after a few moments.

"It was good talking to you, Saten san." he said,"It's a pity that we can't talk a bit longer.. It seems I have some errands to attend."

Ruiko shook her head and smiled,"It's fine.~ It was fun talking to you, Unabara san. If you have errands, then please go immediately. I don't want to be the reason to hold you back for your tardiness."

Unabara nodded,"Then have a nice day." (AN:wanted to make him sound polite like goukigen yo)

"You too, Unabara san." and his figure left the scene leaving Ruiko to wander the sidewalks alone again. 'Hmm.. I wonder if the person Unabara san was mentioning is the person that Misaka san wanted to give the cookies to,"Ruiko wondered as her finger was placed on her chin in thought. 'It can't be...though...it'd be so cute if it was!' she giggled inside her thoughts, feeling all giddy and enthusiastic. 'Maybe if it's Kamijou san!' her thoughts were travelling really far that barely had any evidence but her imagination has surpassed reasoning, without knowing that the possibility of it being reality is there, and very high. Finally noticing she was kept inside her fantasy, she finally checked the time on her black phone, her screensaver reading 8:46.

"Shoot! Only 15 minutes until the appointed meeting! I have to hurry!" Ruiko pocketed her phone and started a sprint to Seventh Mist. "Don't want to be late when I was the one who planned the appointment!"


The Tokiwadai middle schooler sat under the branches of a single tree that was full of healthy vibes. She sat with tranquility, reminiscing on the latest chapter she read on the magazine rack. She was really excited on the next arc, since they just concluded the current arc. She just loved the main protagonist with all her heart.

'Ah.. I wish I had a pet like Ao... he's so cute..' although Misaka looks placid on the outside, she was actually squealing in her heart from the cuteness of the little squirrel.

'Though Yuna is really strong willed. Her character development is really fast and steady. I like her courage.' Misaka nodded in agreement to her own thoughts.

The small beams of sunlight that the plant couldn't block poured their shine onto the Ace. She closed her eyes in content from feeling the peaceful bliss for a few seconds before opening them after hearing a feminine voice calling out to her.

"Misaka san!" a bright and cheerful young girl who is a year younger than Mikoto, called out to her from a few meters away. The said girl has turned facing the girl who in a few seconds, have arrived just at her shaded spot. Ruiko panted, as she apologized between her breathes, "I'm sorry I'm late Misaka san.."

Misaka smiled as she offered Ruiko a seat next to her, as her exasperated figure was obvious from her panting and sweat. Ruiko accepted the offer, settling down next to her friend, receiving bliss as her legs gave rest from it. Misaka stood up and went to the nearest vending machine, getting drinks for herself and the fatigued girl. She offered her Condensed Milk Cider while Misaka sat, drinking her favorite Coconut Cider. Truthfully, those two drinks were one of the normal drinks out of the many that the vending machines offered. They both felt relaxed as they took in the cooling flavors of the refreshments as the numbness came in like a wave to their whole body.

Both sighed in content of their cooler on a warm day that stimulated their body, almost forgetting they both made plans to hang out. Misaka though mentioned out their schedule and thus they walked out of the reinvigorating shadows of the tree and was going to their destination.


Touma walked throughout town, stretching his aching muscles from last night.

"Yesterday, I had to battle a guts loving freak and today I had to deal with a monstrous black hole nun from his tardiness yesterday... Such misfortune." the poor high schooler felt bags under his eyes from the stress of his violent young roommate and his fight that he was forced to accept from a prestigious level 5 that he acquainted with along the way of his new life.

As Touma trudged along the road with obvious lack of sleep, he spoke his thoughts out loud,"I hope I don't meet him anyti-"

"Kamijou!" a rambunctious voice resounded throughout the whole street that anyone within a 5 km vicinity can hear it, especially the unfortunate teenager within close proximity of it, resonating through his ears loud and clear.

'Speaking of the devil...' Of course when the Kamijou has wished for something, the gods become evil and reverse his wishes, even to the point of enforcing it and making deplorable events that feed on his list of innumerable shames. With the uncalled and vociferous voice without a warning, he suddenly covered his poor eardrums a second too late which can cost a life.

The owner of the voice, of course belonged to one of the few Level 5's out in the world and seemingly mysterious, especially in terms of power.

However though, his status does not reflect his personality one bit. Sogiita Gunha ran straight towards the pitiful guy, Kamijou Touma, with a grin plastered on his face that looked impossible to remove with normal means or any means.

"Let's fight!" Gunha said bluntly.

Touma had a displeased look on his straightforward request,"Didn't you just battle me yesterday? Are you unsatisfied with the results?"

"Because Kamijou didn't use his full guts yesterday that I want you to fight with all of your guts today!"

He sulked in defeat. He had absolutely no energy to battle against the teenager, much less than use his full 'guts'. He wanted to slump down and have at least a relaxing morning since having a placid day for a full 24 hours seemed like a miracle that would be unattainable for a boy that's labelled misfortunate.

"The loser has to do a single thing requested for the winner!" the guts lover exclaimed with satisfaction in his prize, hoping to raise the hopes and motivation for Touma. When he had Touma perked his interests, he strained his ears and Touma indeed look satisfied. However this satisfaction had did another effect than what Gunha had expected.

"Yes I lost! What shall you want me to buy, o noble extraordinary Level 5?" Touma bent down to his knees and bowed courteously to the puzzled teenager.

"What are you doing Kamijou..?"the hyper teenager was perplexed by his actions.

Touma looked up to Gunha like a faithful servant following a king's orders,"I lost so please state your request, Gunha sama."

The latter still was befuddled but smiled,"then have a rematch with me!" he exclaimed.

Touma had the urge to facepalm,'I gave up so I wouldn't have to let him battle me! What's with this request he's making?!'

*Ahem!* Touma let out anything that was in his throat in order to try communicating with the dense 'king', "Is there any point in using up your request like that? I mean you can battle me anytime," Touma blurted without any intention until he rephrased his sentence in head.. 'What the heck did I just say?!'

The Level 5 was comprehending in his thick skull for a few minutes, though he shrugged it off,"That's true. Yoshhh!" he exclaimed with confidence. It shows that he's truly an idiot when it comes to things other than guts, guts, and fighting. Reminds people of an another certain idiot right?

Touma felt a sudden chill from his spine, 'I have a bad feeling about this..'


"Misaka san! How's this outfit?" the first year middle schooler wore a snowy white blouse with puffed short sleeves that had a large ribbon tied under the collar. This outfit was accompanied by a long navy blue dress that was worn from under her stomach to her knees. It created a mature yet relaxed aura around her and Misaka smiled once Ruiko revealed her outfit that she chose from the many that rowed in front of them as they walked in the aisle a while before.

It looks great on you Saten san," the second year commented,"It fits your style well too."

Ruiko stepped forward a few steps as she checked on her friend. "Did Misaka san choose her outfit too?"

Misaka glanced at the many clothings that were in hangers and she contemplated on which to choose. Ruiko smiled as she her eyes moved to the side and gleamed, picking up the large piece of fabric from the hanger and walked towards the latter.

She pushed her to the fitting room as her left hand held the hanger that the clothing hung from. "W-Wait Saten san-" the girl was bewildered on her actions but Ruiko just gave a silent smile and walked to the pale yellow curtain. Ruiko immediately gave her the dress as she winked playfully, "Just wear it! I'm sure it'll look really nice on you." and closed the curtains without hearing any comments nor retorts from the confused middle schooler.

Ruiko propped leaned next to the wall near the fitting room that Misaka is currently trying on the clothing that she was given. She waited for a few minutes after twirling her hair from her impatience.

"S-Saten san..." A head popped out of the curtains that covered the rest of her body.

Ruiko glimpsed at her, as she stood from her position,"Finished?"


"Oi Gunha," the spikey teenager called out as they walked to the streets to who knows where. Well, Touma focused more on Gunha than his surroundings.

Gunha showed his teeth as he cocked his head behind while walking at the same constant pace,"You'll see!"

Letting out a sigh for the umpteenth time, he finally checked his surroundings and recognized the familiar place,"Seventh Mist?"

"Yeah," Gunha nodded.

"You...and.. Seventh Mist?" Touma asked incredulously, baffled on his destination.

"Yup! Is there a problem?" Gunha smiled, even though it seemed like he was being mocked, "There's this nice cafe that I wanted to visit though I never had the chance to. Kamijou became my chance to come." he let out a beamed smile that showed innocence to the violent guy.

Touma slumped as they walked forward,'Such misfortune..' but let out a warm smile of his own, 'Though this wouldn't be bad once in a while.'

As he was closing in on the female adolescence's clothing section, he heard some voices, some he recognized faintly and others that he remembered so clearly sometimes he could unconsciously hear it at times when he walk in the streets.

"I-Is this okay.. Saten san?" he heard a bashful voice that was very faint but clear to Touma's ear with the background sound of curtains opening.

"Misaka san! You look perfect! Cute, stylish, I'm sure Misaka san can get any guy once you show this dress!" the second voice sounded exuberant on her response. It was during this time that the males passed along the section was when he got a glimpse on the girls.

The chestnut haired girl wore a blue, sleeveless, one piece dress with a plain design on it. A black ribbon was tied around the collar and was finished with plain black stockings. The teenager blushed instinctively though it was dim from the sight of the Tokiwadai student who he usually sees in her uniform, wearing something casual. Even if it was casual wear, it looked stunning on her and Touma stared at her for a few seconds before their eyes met.

"Y-Youu!" the girl yelled out, pointing at the 'culprit'. "What are you doing here?!'

"Ah! Kamijou san! Nice timing!" the younger girl beamed at the newcomers.

Touma became displeased by the electromaster's words,"What?.. Are you saying I'm forbidden to be here?"

Misaka sharpened her eyes, glaring at the guy who had the guts to retort the prestigious ojou sama, though it was a normal occurrence for the two.

As the silence lengthened, the tension did not lessen. It looked like a staring contest with a feisty tiger slowly aiming for a cautious agile deer.

"MISAKA SAN!" the accompanied girl interrupted the one sided glaring contest, holding the many colorful dresses attained from the store, "Try on this dress!"

"S-Saten..san?..." Misaka glanced at the raven haired changing her voice from an untamed rage to timid awkwardness.

"Don't waste our day on your breath and let's keep moving!" Ruiko enthusiastically pranced on the chestnut haired and forced her into the changing room once more. When she shoved her upperclassman the bundle of dresses, she closed the curtains for some privacy and faced towards the male duo.

She grinned, showing her clean white teeth towards them. "Would you two offer being the judges for our most loved Railgun?" She asked with the upmost politeness.

"Uh.. Well.. we're kinda busy so-" Touma tried to press run for the escape route but unfortunately, a bug has intercepted before doing such.

"Sure! We're pretty much free anyways!" the prestigious spikey hair replied,"Right Kamijou?"

Compared to the bright expressions that the two were having, Touma however, had put on a grim expression, in fear of getting electrocuted by just taking another glance at the girl currently in the fitting room.

"S-Saten san..." a head delicately popped out from the sheets of curtain.

"Oh Misaka san!" the said girl radiated the usual jubilant tone,"Why don't you show our critics on their thoughts of this fashion?"

"C-Critics?"

"Now, we don't want to delay any further yes?" Ruiko grasped on the silk curtains, ready to make the movement at any second.

"W-Wait.. Saten sa-" Misaka tried to prevent her abrupt actions to no avail.

"One two go! (Ii se no! [in romaji])" Without willing to hear any objections, she opened the curtains in milliseconds, with the alluring sight of the girl to behold, Touma unconsciously blushed at her with a black strapped dress that was less than knee length, a black ribbon with the same color as the strap tied on the top in the center, with a strap under the chest area. A pink sweater accompanied the dress which it look between casual and formal.

"Yup! The dress has lots of guts in it!" the second male nodded in approval.

"Right?~ Isn't it just perfect on her?" Ruiko brought her thumb and index fingers up from both hands to create a rectangle that looked like a photo on the one with attention. "Especially with the right body size, especially on the chest area." Her fingers descended under the neck area. The brunette reflexively covered that part in embarrassment.

"S-Saten san!" the girl in topic exclaimed with a flushed face from embarrassment.

While ignoring her insults, the raven hair then scooted towards the other male that was silent throughout the conversation, "How about our other main critic?"

The latter turned the away, looking elsewhere but the subject at hand.

"Ohoo~ Speechless I see?~" Ruiko put her fingers on her chin, her tone sly and teasing.

"I-It's okay.. I guess?" he tried speaking but he couldn't avoid the stutter that came out that matched his facial expression, even if it was faint.

Misaka played around with the hem of her dress, whether she was embarrassed or ashamed of his phrase, which it's most likely, no wait, almost definitely assumed that she wore this for the sight of a certain spikey haired hero, well the one she knew more.

"T-Thanks I guess?..."

Ruiko felt a big of pang in her chest, wondering whether or not if this was jealousy or not. She swiftly and quickly hid it away in the depths of her heart, grinning at the scene. "Since we're all here, let's all hang out!" she suddenly proclaimed with two of three of them in astonishment.
