Thank you for reading a Certain Scientific Counter. And Thank you to everyone who commented it honestly helps me get more ideas for future ideas and Plotlines. I'd also like to thank my Beta reader Graesok for helping me edit the Chapter. Now without further ado Q&A
Aminadab Brulle- I'm glad you liked the chapter. t was fun to write lines for Junko since she's always been a sweet person so I thought, The best way to solve it would be to have her interact with someone like Yuki. And Deep blood not yet.
Anti-Mage 29- Big Spider and JoJo's what's not to love. And I'm glad you're getting excited about the Deep Blood Arc. And they would be good friends if they just looked past their differences and saw the other for who they really were.
Fortitude501- Well what did you expect? Misaki wasn't gonna let her prince sleep in a room that he complained about. And maybe, hopefully, he won't have to be hospitalized so much that all the staff know him as that guy who always comes here. And Index would be good at card games since she never forgets and can count cards. She sucks at magic because she can't use it except for that one song and Spell Intercept. And Accelerator's new name...Oh and Junko lost him like this, 5 minutes walking away 2 minutes in meeting Yuki and 3 minutes until she gets distracted by Gekota and they get on the bus without her. Jojo, enough said. Add another one to the infected list! And yeah when I watched that arc I was like Touma could solve this in like a day. I mean think about a some of the light novels most of them literally take place in a day. This guy's month is insane. Accomplice by inaction indeed. And now he knows the truth. World Boss.
D. -Read and find out. And yeah they do have a good dynamic when they're together. Those guys never stood a chance.
Nazarioneo- Step aside Giorno this unlucky kid also has a Dream.
tsun- Thank you for the compliment and yeah I always thought they'd be good friends.

I really liked this comment thanks.
Rajarshi Sakar- I really liked that skit and even thought about adding something like that in my first draft but decided against it at the last moment. Still though really funny. Thank you.
Nameless- Thank you those were some of my favorite parts to write. And what!?
Nameless-Perhaps.
Chris- As always I like your recap. Sad to say that wouldn't work as Accelerator is the only one that can safely reach Level 6. ANd Index is OP in Memory games like poker! She's counting cards! She's rain man! Touma the rebel I like it! Junko's the unsung hero of this chapter for babysitting Touma. ANd yeah Touma's got that secondary Stand KILLER OF QUEENS! And they never really stood a chance Kurozuma was confident that he could've soloed them in the anime so adding these was like trying to put out a small match with a tanker of gasoline. Thank you for the review.
Ryder- Well now you do. And thank you for the compliment.
Yakutsu Zaishiro-True and now you get to binge read this story again. Yay!
One Punch Touman- I do. It's like Ojou's just love him.
One punch Touman- Yep get ready to run Touma or not it's your choice really.
Nguyen Thanh Long- They weren't there during the anime so I'm guessing at a swim meet. Touma stop raising flags!? That's like asking a fish not to swim it just comes naturally. A New Flag has been raised Kongo Mitsuko.
No-one-Thank you! I always knew they'd be good friends.
Savior555- I'm glad you do. Yeah Nobody can beat the girl with a perfect memory *Cough* she's counting cards. And don't worry you'll see them interact some more. And Touma questioning his sense of self. Yuki never had anybody growing up so yeah accepting something like that is gonna be hard but Touma can shatter that illusion! And yeah the reason I only put it in a paragraph was that I was gonna reveal what really happened later. You can probably figure it out now but you'd have to read over the last couple of chapters to figure it out. And Junko is 1 maybe 2 years younger at most. She's a 3rd year in middle school and Touma is a first year in Highschool cannoticlty she's older than Misaki, maybe? And yeah Yuki really likes pushing peoples buttons. And side story more like a side quest. The entire segment took only a couple of hours to resolve. Yeah, Misaka is in one. The reason she has a picture of him is because of Misaki and group photos. OP doesn't even begin to describe that fight. It's like a Level 100 taking on hordes of Level 1s never gonna happen man never. And You'll see. The first steps are important but the most important thing is to keep going forward. And Misaki the WORLD BOSS. And Thank you for the review. Don't worry I like big reviews.
DATONEGUY-Saame And thank you for the compliment.
Summertime Blues
August 1
Early Morning
It was the day that Touma had been waiting for ever since he got admitted to the hospital. It was time to go home.
As he began to wake up from his bed he reflected over the past few days for a bit, there were bad times, but there were also good times and because of that, he wouldn't change a damn thing about it.
As he stepped out of his hospital room he grabbed his bag and began to his walk back to his apartment, but he had one more stop to make on his way home.
Accelerator's Room
Accelerator's eyes shot open as he heard knocking on his door.
There weren't many people who even dared to try to wake him up, so he knew it had to be…
"Hey Yuki, how ya doing?"
"Tch! What the hell do you want? It's way too early in the morning to deal with you again." Accelerator moaned.
The Misfortunate boy simply rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, "Hehe, I just wanted to say goodbye is all, today's the day I get let out."
"Good for you. Now if you don't mind I'm going back to sleep."
"Sorry if I woke you, I was just wondering if you wanted to hang out later today, you know since you're allowed to leave the hospital and all. I just gotta take care of a few things first."
Not even lifting his head off the pillow Accelerator responded, "Yeah sure, whatever just let me go to sleep already."
Touma smiled as he headed out the door, "See ya later Yuki."
"Tch!"
Touma's Dorm
Touma breathed in the fresh air his dorm room had to offer and immediately started to cough.
Turns out leaving your dorm unattended for multiple consecutive days was a recipe to gather dust.
Though this surprised him a lot since he wasn't even gone three days and yet there was so much dust in the air how was this possible.
His questions were finally answered when he looked on the floor of his kitchen. It turns out that the day he left his apartment was the same day he made those English style pancakes that Index wanted and he didn't properly put away the flour so as a result the bag toppled over and spilled all the flour on the ground.
Touma couldn't help but smile a little.
"Such Misfortune"
Saten's Dorm
Once the arduous task of cleaning his dorm was taken care of, he decided to pay a visit to Saten's dorm. He knew taking care of Index was a big responsibility and it didn't really sit right with him that he was forcing her to take care of Index, so he wanted to help out.
Touma had to call Mikoto to ask her Saten's address, something which she wasn't too pleased to give. Maybe he caught her at a bad time since it was so early in the morning.
Touma knocked twice before the sound of someone turning the locks open could be heard from the other side.
The door opened to a tired looking Index. It seemed he had woken her from her slumber as she still had her pink regular style pajamas on.
"*Yawn* Who is it?...Touma!? What're you doing here?! The last thing I heard was that you joined a gang and…." Index began to glare at him as she bared her teeth at him.
It had seemed that Mikoto hadn't informed Index that he didn't actually join a gang.
"N-No, wait Index, you got it all wrong…..SUCH MISFORTUNE!"
It turns out his screams of pain had also woken up Saten who helped him wrestle Index off of him.
After a few curious looks from Saten and glares from Index about his involvement in gangs, he explained what really happened and they both sighed in relief.
Turns out they were both told by Kuroko that he had joined a gang and got in a gang war against Big Spider. Which while partly true was far from what actually happened. It was also apparent that neither of them knew where he was yesterday as he wasn't in his Hospital Room and when Index went to visit she got worried.
After hearing a long-winded lecture from Index about how gangs were immoral he could taste the righteousness in the air as she spoke.
Eventually, he coaxed her down by making everyone breakfast.
"Wow, you're a really good cook," Saten commented as she continued to eat her eggs benedict.
She was a lively girl with black hair that went just past her shoulders and that had a single flower decoration in it.
Index nodded as she continued to scarf down her own breakfast.
"Mmm-hmm, Touma's a chef! Touma, show her the golden lighter!"
"Heh, you see…...I kinda lost it."
Both of the girl's eyes widened, "You lost a solid golden lighter?"
Her voice wasn't judgmental, though it was one full of pity as she saw him nod his head
"Ouch."
"Tell me about…..By the way, I'm not one for interior decorating or anything but what's with all the Magical Powered Kanamin merch. Your room looks like you robbed their gift shop."
Saten dryly chuckled, "W-Well you see, I took Index to the store and one thing led to another and now she has all this stuff, we even had to search 15 different stores to find her a purse that had an Anglican Church design, in the end, I just sewed a patch on for her."
Index then proudly presented her new purse. It wasn't anything fancy it was colored white and gold just like her robes and had a small hand sewn the patch on the center of the purse.
"I-I'm sorry."
Saten quickly waved him off, "It's no problem really"
"No, I mean this stuff must have cost a fortune."
"Ohh, that's another thing I wanted to talk about, Index has a bank account now."
"What?"
"Yeah, I didn't feel comfortable carrying all that cash on me, so we went to a bank and I helped Index get her own account."
"How? I mean she doesn't even have her own ID. How'd you manage that?"
"I just got her a Cash Card and put the money in that. Academy Cities Laws on Cash Cards are pretty loose. Anyone can get one."
"Okay, but where did she get the money?"
"Misaka told me that Kanzaki gave her a bunch before she left."
(THANK YOU KAORI!)
"Anyways I wanted to thank you for letting Index stay with you, I know she can be a handful."
"Nah don't worry about it besides it was fun hanging out with Index, especially with all she knows about.." Saten looked side to side and whispered. "Magic."
"Why are you whispering in your dorm?"
"Ummm, didn't Misaka say we weren't supposed to talk about it?"
"I think she meant in public, besides if you go out there saying magic is real, 9 out of 10 times people are gonna call you crazy."
Saten went to rebuttal put quickly realized that he was right.
"So how are you guys taking the whole 'Magic is real' revelation?"
"Hmmm…..well me and Uiharu believe it, Shirai, on the other hand, l think the only reason she even took it seriously in the first place was that Misaka told her that it was true."
"So you're saying she doesn't buy it?"
Saten nodded.
"I can see that, I didn't believe it at first either, so why did the two of you believe it."
"Well I can't speak for Uiharu but for me, I always believed in far-fetched things like Urban Legends."
"Ohh, if you like Urban Legends there's this website online that's full of them."
Saten gasped, "You know about that website too!"
Touma nodded, "I found it when I first met my homeroom teacher. Tell me, did you ever hear of the 7 wonders of Academy City?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Well my teacher's one of them, Although looking like a twelve-year-old child, she's actually a full-grown adult, she even drinks and smokes, heck I even saw her drive a car one time."
"No way! How'd she reach the pedals?"
"She has her own custom car that allows her to drive it through the use of buttons and a joystick."
"That's so cool! Index did you see her too!?"
Index tilted her head, "What are you talking about?"
"Komoe-sensei."
"Ohh yeah! I met her before, she was really nice, even after we blew the roof off her house."
Trying to avoid that topic Saten quickly changed the topic.
"A-Anyways, did you hear the Urban Legend about the Floating House?"
"Floating House?"
"Yeah, supposedly there's this house in District 19 that floats everything that's around it. They even say that if you walk to the house you'll be able to float. Except here's the weirdest thing the forum mentioned that it wasn't as though anything was levitating like someone who had telekinesis could do, it was as if it was falling upside down."
"!? Wait did you say falling upside down? I think I saw something like that!"
Saten shrieked with joy.
"Really where!?"
"Well it wasn't in District 19 it was actually here in District 7 when I was finished fighting Kanzaki the road to the hospital was blocked by a giant piece of rubble so I couldn't go through, right as I was about to give up the giant piece of rubble started to fall upside down and the path was clear."
Saten took a moment to think as she turned to Index.
"Hey Index, do you think Magic was the reason why that happened?"
Index stopped eating for a moment to answer her, "Maybe, there are some spells that can do what you two are describing but they all take preparation to accomplish and I doubt Kaori would be able to do it since she was heavily injured at that time."
"So do you think there's another magician in Academy City?"
Touma rubbed the back of his head, " I hope not, though even if that was the case whoever did do that sure helped me out so I don't think they'd be all bad, ya know?"
Saten nodded, "Yeah I see where you're coming from, so what'd you plan on doing today?"
Touma laid back on his chair, "I was thinking I'd volunteer over at Asunaro Park again for a little while before heading out again."
Saten raised her eyebrows, "You volunteer?"
"Mm-hm. It was a class assignment a couple of months ago. We all had to volunteer so I opted to go there, at first I thought it was gonna be a hassle but after a couple of days there it was actually kinda fun being able to play with the kids, so every now and again I'd volunteer over there."
Saten smiled.
"Well it just so happens that I also have to go over there to volunteer, hehe my test scores last year were…...anyways the school's making me and Uiharu volunteer there too, I was gonna ask Misaka to watch Index but, since you're coming there shouldn't be any real problem."
Touam smiled, "Index finish eating, we're heading over to Asunaro Park!"
Asunaro Park
Once Touma arrived with Saten and Index, he called Yuki to ask if he wanted to come over, he declined saying he was around enough children as it is. After that, they went inside and began getting to work.
Since Touma was already familiar with the place he showed her everything that was important.
Naturally, Touma bribed Index with Cookies to keep her from bothering them while they worked.
"Kamijou was it such a good idea to bribe Index?"
"Hmm, yeah, besides look at her now."
Saten turned around and watched Index get surrounded by 5 or so small children all staring at the bag of Homemade cookies that Touma gave her.
"Uhh, your plan was to get Index swarmed?"
Touma rolled his eyes, "No look again."
She did and saw Index actually share some of her Cookies with the rest of the kids.
Touma smiled, "She's a sweet person, a little bratty sure but that's just because she lacks any real-world experience. So I wanted to let her mingle with the kids to get a sense of what it's really like."
"Where did you learn that?"
"One of the electives for Home Ec is Child Psychology, comes in pretty handy when I'm dealing with unruly people."
Just then he felt a tug on his shirt and saw Index with a small squad of children behind her.
"Hey Touma, I'm hungry. Can you make us some more cookies?"
Before he could even answer he saw all the children behind her look at him.
"*Sigh* Alright."
Right before as he entered the kitchen he was stopped by Mr. Diago.
He was a kind and cheerful tall man with dark-bluish hair who also wears glasses and as such was much beloved by his students.
"Kamijou-san could you possible make lunch for the students, they always loved it when you cooked for them."
Touma looked over to see Saten smirking at him as she cleaned up the play area.
"Sure it's fine."
It was gonna be a long day.
After cooking a large pot of Fried rice for lunch for all of the students Touma heading out to clean the playground with Saten and Uiharu who finally arrived.
Index, on the other hand, had fully assimilated with the children here. Apparently in the short amount of time that he was in the Kitchen she had managed put herself on the top of the hierarchy of the classroom and was now one of the most popular ones there.
"How the heck did that even happen?" Uiharu asked.
Saten shrugged, "Don't know really, I was putting away stuff in the play area when it happened."
Uiharu then looked over a Touma "By the way Kamijou-san, are you okay? I mean you just came out of the hospital and after your run in with Big Spider I thought you'd want a break."
Touma shrugged, "I'm fine, besides I'm happy that things are going back to normal, or at least as normal as they can be."
Uiharu smiled, "By the way Kamijou-san, do you know who that woman is, I feel as though I've seen her somewhere before."
Saten squinted, "Yeah, now that you mention it she does seem familiar. Kamijou you've been here the longest, so you should have her name somewhere in your memory."
Touma turned around to see the woman in question.
She was a tall and slender woman who had shoulder-length brown hair who also wore glasses.
"Hehe, I gotta be honest, I've seen her around here before but…..I don't remember learning her name and even if I did, I've been here for too long to ask her now."
Saten then nervously rubbed her head, "Y-Yeah, s-sorry for bringing that up, Index told us how you lost your memories."
Touma fell silent.
Uiharu then turned to Saten and gave her a look of disapproval, "Saten….."
"..I-It's fine really, besides I didn't even lose that much, just 3 months."
"I-If you say so."
Just as they spoke the woman in question headed left Asunaro Park grounds.
"I wonder where she's going?"
Joseph's Coffee and Restaurant
"*Sigh* Honestly Onee-sama I don't know why Konori-senpai is giving me the cold shoulder, after what happened in District 10 when we helped take down Big Spider I thought she'd be happy."
Mikoto simply sipped her drink, "I don't know Kuroko maybe it's because of how you tried to blare Touma's name across the Judgement radio to try to find him after he took down Big Spider. Or maybe it was because everyone who was involved kept their mouths shut about Touma and his friend."
Kuroko clicked her tongue, "He had absolutely no right to get involved in the first place! Besides I heard he was responsible for destroying an entire building in The Strange."
Mikoto rolled her eyes, "Now you're just grasping at straws."
"*Sniff**Sniff* That's cruel Onee-sama, how could you just take his side after everything he put us through."
"What're you talking about?"
"*Sniff* Nevermind."
Mikoto rolled her eyes. "Whatever, besides I bet what really upset you was when the head resident caught you using your ability."
Kuroko rubbed her neck, "I can still hear the cracking, Tch! Every time she opens her mouth it's rules, rules, rules! She's practically Inhuman."
"Well that's her job isn't it?"
"She doesn't have to go that far! I was just teasing you yesterday Onee-sama, and because of that she cracked my neck!"
Kuroko narrowed her eyes, "She's probably just upset because she's past her marriageable prime."
Mikoto then looked over towards the window and saw the Head resident walking down the street.
Kuroko felt a cold shiver run down her spine as she turned her head.
"Speak of the devil and she shall come."
"Why is she dressed up like that? She usually wears her uniform when she's at the dorm."
Kuroko then slammed her hands on the table.
"It's a man!"
"Huh?"
"Come Onee-sama! We mustn't waste even a second to get leverage on that woman!"
"K-Kuroko, what're you talking about!?"
"Does Shokuhou-san always call you, Kamijou-san?" Uiharu asked as they continued to clean the playground.
"Pretty much, though I did kinda leave the hospital without telling her."
They both stared at him.
"Hey don't look at me like I'm the bad guy! I only left early so I could get a head start on the day. Besides Misaki has a tendency to sleep in and I didn't wanna wake her."
"..."
Trying to steer the topic somewhere else Touma shifted the conversation to them.
"S-So you guys know Mr. Daigo?"
Uiharu nodded, "He's our teacher, he's the one who suggested we do this in the first place."
(It worked!)
"Anyways, Kamijou tell Uiharu what happened with Big Spider yesterday."
Touma then proceeded to tell them how he Yuki and Kurozuma took down Big Spider.
"So, you got a new leather jacket outta the whole ordeal," Saten asked.
Touma nodded, "Yep"
"Is that your big takeaway from the story Saten?" Uiharu asked.
She was ignored.
"So, where's the Jacket?" Saten asked.
"Oh, I'm actually picking it up later today, Misaki was cool with letting me keep it but she said I had to get it dry cleaned. So that's what I'm gonna do later today."
"I also heard from Index that you're a Gemstone. What's that all about?"
Touma slouched, "No idea, honestly, it's more of a hassle than you'd think. They actually make you do welfare checks every other week so I have to go all the way over to the facility in person."
Saten gave off a weak smile, "It's better than being a level 0."
Touma raised his eyebrow, "And what's wrong with being a Level 0?"
"Huh?"
"I was a level 0 ever since I came to Academy City. And even if they give me some new title it's not gonna change the fact that I'll never be able to be more than what I am."
He then pointed at Saten, "You, on the other hand, can grow, you're a Level 0, so what? It doesn't mean you have to stay that way for the rest of your life. Besides if it bothers you that much then just own up to it, wear that title like armor and it won't be able to hurt you anymore."
Saten smiled, "You sound just like-"
Uiharu then turned over towards the fence and saw Mikoto who was with Kuroko impatiently waving to them, "Shirai!?"
They all then walked over towards the entrance to great them.
Kuroko then looked at her two friends, "What a coincidence seeing you too here, huh?"
"What're you doing here?" Touma asked.
He was ignored.
"Are you guys here volunteering too?" Saten asked.
Mikoto then rubbed the back of her head nervously, "Oh, uh, well ...we were actually-"
"We just wanted to see what kind of man had captured the heart of our head resident" Kuroko declared.
Uiharu then snapped her fingers "That's where I recognized her from. She looks very different now than she did before."
They all then walked towards the window to see The Head resident playing with the children.
"I have never seen the head resident act like that before," Mikoto commented.
"Nor have I, who would've guessed that she volunteers here. I had not the slightest idea that the Great Head Resident was such a kind-hearted lady."
Mikoto then whipped her head towards Kuroko, "Great?"
"*Sniff* Compared to her we're such.."
Touma then raised his hand "Uhh, we volunteered here too you know?"
He was further ignored.
Kuroko started shaking her fist, "I'm so ashamed that we called her inhuman Onee-sama!"
"Don't wrap me in it too! You were the one who called her that."
They all then leaned in closer to the window to hear what they were saying.
The head resident was blushing as she spoke with Mr. Daigo.
"I have some of my students here with me today, if they happen to do anything careless please don't hesitate to call them out on it."
The Head Resident blushed even more, "M-M-Mr. Diago, I'm sure none of your students needs calling out…..I-I never even scolded any of my dorm students."
"LIAR!"
Touma looked at Kuroko with skepticism, "What're you guys talking about? She seems like a nice lady."
Kuroko was trying to not speak to him.
But after that.
She was not silent anymore.
"Listen closely" The aura she gave off was one of a serious nature, "That woman is the reason why everyone in the Tokiwadai dorms always rushes to get back before curfew."
"So, what? Isn't that her job?"
"That's what I said!"
Kuroko's eye twitched, "I don't think you understand…..you've must've heard of her from Shokuhou-san."
"I don't think so. And why are you talking about her like she's the incarnation of evil or something?"
The reason why Misaki never spoke about the Head Resident was quite clear as she hadn't had any run-ins with her since she started dating Touma.
This was mostly because she didn't want to be on her radar.
Mikoto sighed, "It doesn't even matter anyway."
"It matters to me One-sama!"
Mikoto then looked closer in the building, "Is that Index?"
"Yeah, apparently she became their leader or something, heh"
Uiharu then chuckled, "Yeah it's like she's their Queen."
Mikoto turned pale.
Before anyone could see what happened Mikoto had brought Index outside far enough from everyone else so that they wouldn't be able to hear what they said.
"Mikoto when did you get here?" Index asked.
"I-Index, what's going on with all the kids?"
"Hmm...oh Touma said I should play with them, so first I had him make our cookies and I gave them out everyone. After that, more and more people wanted to be around me and I eventually became popular, there are still some kids that aren't friends with me but they'll come around, Misaki was right it's easier than it looks."
Her worst fears had just come into fruition.
She was corrupted.
"L-Listen Index you can't just buy people's friendship."
Index tilted her head, "I'm not though, I'm listening to all their problems and I help them out in solving them after that-"
"Listen Index I know it doesn't seem like you're doing a bad thing but you are."
Index then hesitantly held out the envelope that looked as pristine as if all the wrinkles had been ironed out.
"I'm sorry."
Mikoto raised her eyebrows, "What's this?"
"Money."
"GAHH! If you start shoving money toward me, it makes me look like a bad guy!"
"Touma said you can pay people to make up for problems."
"EHHHH! And where did he get that from!?"
"Misaki."
Mikoto then turned around and scowled at Touma who didn't know what was going on.
Though as she got closer he was quick on the uptake.
"W-What's wrong?"
Her gaze intensified, "What have you been teaching her!?"
Touma gulped, "L-Look I'm sorry it's just that if I didn't tell her about the 5-second rule she would've..."
"Ugh! Not that!"
She then turned around to Index and explained why the 5-second rule was a myth.
Seeing the atmosphere intensify around them the others made the wise decision in backing up a good distance away.
Uiharu then turned to Kuroko, "Shirai why are you ignoring Kamijou?"
Kuroko rolled her eyes, "Because if I don't I might hit him, and I rather like having my mind intact thank you."
"What're you talking about?"
"Shokuhou-san is a Level 5 Telepath and though I have no idea why she would go for someone like him the fact that she did means that if I did anything to him it'll cause a bigger problem than I wanted. For example, I hit him and Shokuhou-san makes me think that I like hitting myself in the face."
"S-She wouldn't do that."
Kuroko turned to Uiharu, "What color is the sky in your world?"
After getting a lecture from Mikoto in teaching Index the wrong things they all discussed what they were going to do about the Head Resident.
Kuroko opted to help carry out the fruition of the Head Residents love which everyone but Touma agreed to.
"What'd you mean you won't help us?"
"It means what it means, I'm not helping, besides it's not gonna be that simple."
Uiharu then raised her hand "Forcing things like this into place is one of Shirai's terrible talents."
*Thwack*
"Do you want to get slugged," Kuroko asked
"Please don't wait until after you've done it to ask Shirai" Uiharu whimpered.
"See people are already getting hurt!"
Kuroko rolled her eyes, "Suit yourself, in any case, make yourself useful and take Index with you, we're gonna hold a strategy meeting."
"But I wanna help too!"
Simultaneously Mikoto and Touma said.
"NO!"
A Certain Park
Accelerator wanted to stay in bed after a hectic day of gang warfare he stirred up yesterday but the idiot wouldn't stop bombarding his phone with messages. So eventually he caved in and agreed to meet him at the park. Apparently, he brought the Nun with him and wanted to show her around.
When he got there he could hear the all too familiar sounds of that Nun's whining as she ran in the field.
"AHH! Why'd you throw a ball at me, Touma! What did I ever do to you!?"
"*Sigh* Index were playing catch. The whole point of the game is to catch the ball."
"What kind of sick game is that!? I don't wanna play, it just gives you a chance to stone me with a baseball!"
They both then noticed Yuki walking towards them begrudgingly.
"YUKI HELP TOUMA IS TRYING TO KILL ME!"
"I AM NOT!"
Accelerator rolled his eyes, "If it gets you shut up I'm all for it. Is this really why you flooded my Inbox."
Touma nodded.
"Goddamn it"
"Cheer up Yuki, if we work together, surely we can catch this elusive ball!"
Accelerator facepalmed after hearing the Nun's version of a pep talk.
"Hey, you do know how to play catch right?" Touma's eyes were hesitant.
"WHAT!? Of course, I know how to play catch, what's not to goddamn understand!?"
"The catching part."
"Just throw the fucking the ball."
As gently as a kitten Touma tossed the baseball to Yuki and he caught it.
"*CLAP**CLAP**CLAP**CLAP* Wow! You did it! Yuki good job!"
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TWO SO SURPRISED ABOUT!?"
"You caught it on your first try."
"I hate you so much."
Index then grabbed the baseball out of Yuki's hand and took out a marker and wrote on it.
"Here this way no one can steal it."
"Thanks, Index"
(Even if it's only 500 ¥ every little bit helps)
Touma and Index continued to throw the ball at each other as Touma continued to talk to Accelerator.
"So how did your day go Yuki?"
"Fine, I guess, though I remember hearing a certain witch yelling on the phone about a missing Poverty Prince."
Touma missed the catch on Index's throw.
"...Poverty Prince?"
"Heh. Yeah, apparently you ran off without saying a word. And because of that, she threw a hissy fit"
"...Really, you wanna go there, hikikomori"
{A hikikomori is someone who rarely, if ever, leaves their home or room. They have withdrawn from society and have few friends.}
Accelerator's eye twitched.
"Hey Nun, let me see that ball for a second. I wanna try."
Touma narrowed his eyes, "You really think you got what it takes snowball?"
Index passed the ball to Yuki as he got into position.
They were 10 meters away from each other.
Yuki readied his throwing arm as he took aim at Touma.
Like any good villain, Accelerator smirked as he said a famous line.
"Any Last Words?"
Touma smirked "Yeah two."
"..."
"I'm gonna enjoy this."
*DING* *THWOOSH!*
Tokiwadai Dorms
"Okay, Onee-sama the plan is we ambush the Great Head Resident about Mr. Daigo when she gets here."
"Is that such a good idea I mean-"
*THWOOSH!*
"What the heck was that!?"
District 4
As Tobio Yumi a member of Judgement continued her regularly scheduled patrol she thought over the events of today.
It was a fairly ordinary day nothing out of the usual, although she did hear from a colleague that someone that matches Kamijou's description was involved in a gang war.
Though Tobio brushed this off, after all even if he was a little rough around the edges, he was still a good person who save over 10,000 students.
Just as she was about to head back to her Judgement Office she noticed an expensive looking luxury car parked in the streets.
It was a rare occurrence to see a car like that parked on the street since something that looked that expensive was usually kept in a garage somewhere.
Though since the car was only a block away from the Judgment office she guessed that the owner was confident in their ability to keep it safe or they were just too rich to care.
Whatever the reason Yumi continued to walk towards her office.
*SHATTER!*
Her blood ran cold as she turned around and saw that the car was pegged by a baseball that completely shattered the car's windshield and dented some of its hood.
She slowly picked up the ball and was surprised when she found out someone had written on it.
Who could've been so brazen to write their own name?
The words were written in English so it took her a moment to translate but when she did an annoyed look began to grow on her face
TOUMA'S BALL
"KAMIJOU!"
Dry Cleaners
"HAHAHA! I can't believe you missed."
"SHUT UP THE SUN WAS IN MY EYES!"
After Yuki's incredible throw missed both Index and Touma began laughing.
The look on his face the moment he realized he missed was priceless to them.
So much so that they both wished they brought a camera.
Since they lost the only form of entertainment they had, they all decided to pick up Touma's new jacket from the dry cleaners.
"How could the sun be in your eyes when it was cloudy?" Index asked.
"Shut up!"
"Pfft. Yuki is just upset that his ability missed that's all Index."
Accelerator then narrowed his eyes at Touma, "And what's your ability supposed to be anyway?"
Touma then pointed to himself "I can tell the difference between salt and sugar without even having to taste it."
"Truly you are the missing Level 5." Accelerator said sarcastically.
Index's eyes began to sparkle "Really! That's so cool!"
He then turned to Index, "The voice of our generation in a nutshell."
Touma then paid the employee and got his brand new leather Jacket.
True Gang Leader's Leather Jacket - Quality: Super Rare-
+70% in [Charisma] with the members of the opposite sex.
+40% in [Charisma] with everyone else.
If the wearer already has a high stat in Charisma with Women they are able to gain the Title [Mega-Playboy] where their charm is increased exponentially towards women.
Index's eyes sparkled "Wow Touma you look so cool!"
Touma smiled as he patted her on the head, "Thanks Index."
She blushed, "N-No problem."
Even Accelerator had to admit that Touma looked cooler than he used to.
Inside the Dry Cleaners, all the women's eyes were glued to him as they blushed.
Touma then handed Yuki his phone, "Hey Yuki, can you take a picture of me?"
Yuki rolled his eyes as he compiled in his request.
"Thanks, I was gonna show Misaki later but a photo's good too."
Touma then fiddled with his phone as he sent her the photo.
As they all walked out of the dry cleaners Yuki turned around and saw Touma put the Leather Jacket in the bag the Dry Cleaners gave him to put it in.
"Huh? You're not gonna wear it?"
"What? Of course not, it's the middle of summer! Didn't you ever wonder why Kurozuma-senpai always took off his jacket every time he fought? It's because this thing is like a sauna he had to take it off so he wouldn't overheat! I'll wear it once it starts to get colder out."
Index sighed.
"Anyways why don't we head out to eat"
Local Kaiten Sushi Bar
When they all arrived, Accelerator threw his wallet at Index and uttered the magic words.
"Order what you want."
The reason for this was simple it was pride, through some sheer miracle he missed Touma's face so this was his punishment.
Touma offered to split the bill but Accelerator simply shot him a look that said if he did then he'd rip him piece by piece.
"Touma why is there a conveyor belt over there carrying food?" Index asked.
"Oh, that's because that's how they circulate food. See the conveyor belt is full of food from the menu so whenever you want to eat something you just take the plate and eat it. It's a lot more convenient than having to wait for an order.
Index mouth watered, "Where does all this food come from?"
"The Sushi Chefs in the back make them and put them on the belt. See the conveyor goes into the kitchen."
Within a second Index began grabbing plate after plate devouring everything in sight.
"I want to eat this and that...I want to eat everything here!" That was how they had ended up in this ridiculous situation.
In Between, her bites Index would talk.
"Soo Yuki do *Munch**Munch**Munch*." (So Yuki do you have a special power like Touma?)
It wasn't very effective.
Accelerator watched the scene of gluttony before him and muttered, "Eat or speak pick one…...how is she even eating all of that?"
"*Gulp*.Okay"
Accelerator gently shook his head. He wished better luck in the next life for the people who had to deal with her day in and day out.
In addition to all the food, she also had bought large-size drinks. The bottles piled up as she downed the small amount of liquid from each one in 5 seconds each.
"Can you even taste that?"
Index nodded, "I asked if you have you have special powers like Touma?"
"I do and how the heck can you eat all of-"
"What is it?"
"Ugh, I can control Vectors"
"That's nice."
"You don't know what that means do you?"
"I never said I did. I just said it was nice."
Just then a plate of Salmon Roe was carried away by the conveyor belt.
"No wait I want that!"
Accelerator rolled his eyes as he touched the conveyor.
*Ding*
Suddenly the direction the conveyor was headed was reversed carrying the plate right back to Index.
"Huh? How did that happen?"
"That's my ability Nun. I can change Direction and Magnitude, so all I did was change the direction of the conveyor so it went in reverse."
*Ding*
"And now it's going forward."
Index tilted her head. "I think I get. Thanks for the food."
Leaving Index in the hands of whatever poor chef had to cook for her Yuki turned to Touma.
"So what happened to Kurozuma?"
"Hmm...Uiharu said that he got arrested by Anti Skill along with everyone else there. And apparently, our names weren't brought up by anyone there so I think we're in the clear. Oh and by the way Kurozuma might be getting out early due to good behavior I hear he's having an interview with someone from Uiharu's office."
"Huh, in the end, he really did go down with his ship ...that reminds me, how'd it go with yours."
"Tch! I bet you thought you were really funny huh Yuki."
Yuki rolled his eyes, "I've never seen another Level 5 before or at least a real one ...are they all that exotic looking?"
"Hmmm ...maybe I know Sogiita stands out like a sore thumb in a crowd with his uniform on. Have you've seen his Youtube Channel recently he's got like 2.3 million subscribers can you believe it?"
"Yeah, I can. The world has billions of people in it. I'm not surprised that 2.3 million of that population are complete idiots too."
"In any case, I think we should get going soon unless you want Index to drain your account dry."
The two of them then noticed all the other customers leaving as they never got any food since Index took it all.
They both then witnessed as the sushi chef came out of the kitchen. He had a defeated look on his face as he saw the monster that ate everything and drove all his other customers away.
"We should go now."
Tokiwadai Dorms Garden
Misaki looked at her phone and saw that she had a message from Touma and opened it.
"..."
"My Queen are you alright?"
"...Huh!? Yeah, I'm fine."
"But you turned red all of the sudden, are feeling ill?"
*Click*
Stars appeared in all of their eyes as they stopped moving.
(Best not let them remember this)
"Still though nice picture."
Saten's Dorm
"Bye, Touma! Bye Yuki Thanks for the food!"
As the silver-haired nun waved goodbye she entered the Saten's dorm with the key that Saten gave her.
"Okay now that that's over with what'd you say we hit the arcade and-"
Touma then felt a cold shiver run down his spine.
He turned around and saw the same Judgement officer that looked like a rabbit.
She was standing in their path blocking them.
"Heh, see ya." Yuki waved him off as he headed for the direction towards the hospital.
"Are you serious!? Is that like your thing!"
Accelerator smiled as he walked away sealing Kamijou's fate
Now alone Tobio Yumi approached him.
"H-Hey what's up Doc. Heh heh heh"
Touma chuckled nervously as he slowly backed up.
"Hey there Kamijou I was wondering if you were playing baseball today."
"Hmm well yeah, why?"
"Well have you've been to District 4 at all recently?"
"!? What of course not. The last time I went there was for a class a couple of months ago."
"Oh really. Well, the weirdest thing happened today Kamijou."
She stepped closer.
"I was doing my patrol around District 4 and I looked up at the sky to check the weather and I was like 'the weather report lied to me' It said it was supposed to be sunny, but it wasn't it was cloudy with a chance of Baseball."
She then presented him the baseball in question.
"And this Baseball landed and destroyed the windshield of a car."
Touma began to sweat.
"I-I told you I never went to District 4 its gotta be someone else."
The look on her face said she was not convinced in the slightest "Hmmm are you sure it wasn't you?"
"..."
"Because it has Touma's Ball written on it."
"*Gulp* Come on! Academy City is a big place, there are over 2.3 million people here, so there's bound to be more than one Touma enrolled here, right? I'm being framed!"
"Framed? Well, frame that excuse cause I'm not buying it!"
She stepped even closer, "You just admitted that you were playing baseball today and I have a ball that has your name written on it. Don't you think those two things are related, Kamijou?"
"I-I'm telling you I was framed."
Yumi then snapped her fingers sarcastically, "Well damn the trail's gone cold. How am I gonna solve this case now? Of whose ball this is."
It was at that moment that the universe decided Kamijou Touma needed to be punished some more.
"Touma!"
He turned around and saw Index run up to him with another baseball.
Touma's blood ran cold as she put the baseball in his hand.
"Hey, I remembered that you lost your ball today so I asked Ruiko if I could have this one to give to you."
Index then looked over at the girl's hands and saw the baseball that they lost.
"*Gasp* You found it! See Touma writing your name on it did work. This nice lady brought it back to you." She then took the new baseball out of his hand. "I guess you won't be needing this, Bye Touma have a good night!"
She waved him off as she ran back to Saten's dorm.
"She's nice" Yumi commented.
"Yeah, she is, thanks for waiting until she left."
"No problem. *CLINK* You're under arrest if that wasn't clear enough."
"*Sigh* I know…...Such Misfortune."
Tokiwadai Gym Athletic Grounds
*Crackle**Crackle*
"Now just try to send the energy through your body from your guts to your fingertips"
While using Rampage Dress Junko helped Mikoto position her body.
"L-Like this?"
"Yeah, you're a natural Misaka-san."
"R-Really?"
After seeing how Junko used her esper ability Rampage Dress yesterday, Misaka got curious about how to use it. This was due to the fact that they were both fell under the same spectrum of Electromaster, with Mikoto being a Level 5 and Junko being a Level 4.
Theoretically speaking any ability that a lower level uses can be copied by someone with a higher level who also fell under the same category.
At first, Misaka only asked her how she was able to do it. However, Junko insisted on teaching Mikoto herself so she brought here.
"Okay, I'm letting go now."
Mikoto could feel the energy flow through her body.
It was like her limbs were constricting themselves, though there was no pain. In fact, she felt as though her body was nimbler now.
"So how was it?"
"Uhh it was weird, from what I can tell it takes really fine control to handle, but I was wondering, can I just strengthen certain parts of my body like my legs?"
Junko nodded. "Yes, you can. And I'll teach you." She then leaned in close to Misaka with a smile, "In exchange, make sure to visit me when I leave for the other dorms."
"S-Sure."
(I have a feeling that Shokuhou would hate that)
As they continued practicing a strange dark aura loomed in the distance.
"Onee-sama, how could you."
Kuroko teleported closer to see Junko massaging her Onee-sama's calves.
Horror and rage-filled Kuroko's soul as she saw Junko's hand move up.
"Hmm. Your fast twitching muscles look strong, so I think we should try to strengthen your leg triceps first."
"Really? Okay."
"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!"
(THAT'S UNFORGIVABLE! RUBBING ONEE-SAMA'S LOVELY LEGS IN PRIVATE IS TOO MUCH! I SHOULD JOIN IN …NO WAIT NO! I MUST ELIMINATE THIS LEWD ANIMAL BEFORE SHE REACHES ONEE-SAMA'S SECRET GARDEN!)
Kuroko then Teleported Above Junko and was about to deal her own version of justice.
(NO ONE TOUCHES ONEE-SAMA BUT ME!)
Suddenly Kuroko felt as someone grabbed her from mid-air.
"Shirai-san?"
"K-Kuroko?"
Within a fraction of a second Junko tossed Kuroko to Mikoto who caught her in her arms while she was still using her rudimentary version of Junko's Rampage Dress.
"Eh?"
Kuroko blushed as she could feel a slight tingle cover her entire body.
"Hawawawa!"
Mikoto looked at Kuroko, "What are you doing?"
Kuroko's entire body felt raptured as the tingling continued.
"ONE-SAMA❣❣❣"
"Kuroko what are you doing!?"
"HOKAZE-SAN!"
"Y-Yes?"
"I MISJUDGED YOU! YOU ARE TRULY AN ANGEL SENT FROM HEAVEN. IF YOU EVER NEED ANYTHING JUST ASK. I'LL REPAY YOU WITH MY LIFE!"
"KUROKO LET GO OF ME!"
*BIRI BIRI*
"SO STIMULATING!"
As Junko watched Mikoto wrestle Kuroko off her she thought.
(They're such good friends)
Anti Skill Holding Cell
"Well, this is my life now."
Yumi rolled her eyes, "Don't be so dramatic, you're just in a holding cell, you aren't actually going to jail."
"Really?"
"Hmm…..maybe…...probably…...most likely."
"WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN!?"
"I mean you have a clean record for the most part, well except your grades there…..how do you get a 50% in a SYSTEM scan?"
"Hey stop reading that!"
"Nah"
"Nah?"
Yumi then stepped out and came back in a few minutes later with an envelope.
"You're free to go."
"Really!?"
"Yeah apparently the owner of the car doesn't wanna press charges so your record will become clean again after you pay for having their Windshield fixed"
"Oh thank god. So what do I owe like 100,000 Yen?"
Yumi laughed as she opened the door and handed him the envelope, "You wish."
Touma began to shutter as he opened the letter.
Bill ¥ 1,000,000 Yen
Touma could feel his soul slowly fading away.
"SUCH MISFORTUNE!"
Touma's Dorm
After the day he had Touma was glad that it finally came to an end.
There was no way his day was gonna turn out worse if he just got home right?
When he entered his Dorm he was happy to find that the check for his allowance had finally come in.
From what people had been telling him he would start getting a bigger allowance.
Normally Touma would've started to have a panic attack if he had gotten a bill like that in the past but he was confident in his ability to save money.
If he just kept a good budget, he would be debt free in no time.
When he opened the letter he found out how much his allowance was now.
Allowance Total: ¥ 0 Yen
"..."
(╯°□°）╯︵ ~ɐpnoʞnɟ
"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!"
Apparently in Academy City, if you were a student and owed an outstanding debt for a public service it would automatically deduct it from your Allowance.
"SUCH MISFORTUNE!"
"KAMI-YAN SHUT THE HELL UP SOME OF US ARE TRYING TO SLEEP!"
"SORRY!...such misfortune."
It was gonna be a long summer for Kamijou.
August 2
Asunaro Park
"Operation Matchmaker is now underway." Kuroko declared as she marched inside alongside the rest of the girls.
"Copy."
Mikoto then looked around the facility and couldn't find Touma.
"Where'd that idiot run off to?"
District 4
A Certain Terrace Cafe
'Yep, it's come to this. I was offered a part-time summer job here a couple of months ago when I came here with my class but I turned it down because I wanted to enjoy my summer. But I think I rather enjoy not being in debt anymore so I decided to take them up on their offer. The only thing is because I took so long I'm not helping out in the kitchen I've been reduced to a Busboy/Waiter.'
"*Sigh*"
'It's not all bad though. The tips are good and they said if I stick it out for a week I'll be able to work in the kitchen…...yay.'
Touma had done the math in his stupor yesterday and calculated that he'd be able to pay his debt off in a month.
Touma mumbled, "…goodbye summer."
"Hey, waiter!"
Touma turned around and saw a pair of customers who had just recently come in.
One of the customers was a boy who Touma would consider handsome. He had shoulder-length dirty blond hair He wore a dark maroon colored suit with a white collared shirt, both unbuttoned, revealing a red v-neck under them.
He was with was a beautiful girl in a showy dress that one would expect a woman from a hostess club would wear. She had light blonde colored wavy hair and wore elegant jewelry. She looked to be about 14 years old.
Touma sighed as they reminded him of what his summer was supposed to be.
Touma noted that while they came in together and looked to be a couple they seemed to have a professional relationship of some sort. Though this didn't make how they treated Touma any better. He was practically ignored by the boy as he took his order and the girl was just kind of an airhead who asked him ridiculous questions like 'Is cereal soup?'
Honest to god, those two had a full-blown conversation about that. The only reason it ended was that the boy told him to get lost.
Among all of his customers today she took the cake. Even the little blonde girl who wore a beret was more professional than her and she was like 8!
However, due to some earthquake that happened in District 7, the chef in charge of desserts was late.
Suffice to say they didn't take kindly to this.
In the end, the manager let him work in the kitchen since he knew that he could cook desserts.
"Sorry for the wait. Here you go a Dorayaki for the gentlemen and a Lemon curd Italiano Semifreddo for you Miss."
The boy rolled his eyes and just continued to eat.
The girl was nicer as she gave him a thumbs up.
Once they were both finished eating they left like everybody else the boy never even paid him any mind, it was like he was so unimportant to him was invisible or something. The girl simply said, 'Good job spiky black haired boy' and left.
Seriously he had a name tag and everything and yet she just called him as she saw him.
All in all, they did leave a good tip so Touma really couldn't complain.
However bad those two might have been was nothing compared to the pair of customers he had next.
The man wasn't so much as bad as he was just observing the whole thing as it unfolded.
He was a man with a slim build, fairly sharp features and had dark brown hair. He wore clothes that you would expect someone at a fancy party to wear a suit and tie something that Touma would have thought crazy since it was summer out but, remembered that they were inside with air conditioning.
Imagine the most entitled person you ever known and multiply that by two and make them into the form of a little girl and you still wouldn't understand the levels of hardship Touma went through.
The little girl had her hair is tied in two curly pigtails by two blue ribbons. She wore fancy frilly clothes that merit her rich girl status that was dark pink and with bright gold trimmings.
It was so bad Touma even considered quitting when she purposely pushed her ice tea onto the ground because the lemon wasn't bright enough.
Then she made him run back and forth to the kitchen because the mushrooms in her orders were cut into strips instead of cubed like she wanted but forgot to mention when she gave her long-winded order.
The chefs in the kitchen practically threw food at him for the number of times he had to come back for the same order.
Eventually, Touma decided to make it himself since he knew everybody in the kitchen hated this kid by now.
"H-Have a good day" Touma waved the two of them off as they headed for the exit of the restaurant.
He could practically hear the sighs of relief come from the restaurant as the two of them got up.
Touma then looked over on the table the two of them had been sitting in and notice something that blew his mind.
They had left a stack of Yen on the table that totaled to be.
¥ 1,000,000 Yen!
Touma knew that they were rich given the fact that whenever they changed there order they just ordered something new instead but this was just crazy!
Was this his tip for keeping his cool?
No…...it wasn't.
"Hey excuse me!"
The little girl turned around and her eyes told him that she was annoyed.
"What?"
"Umm...I think you forgot this?" Touma then handed her the stack of money.
She looked even more annoyed as she rolled her eyes, "Thanks."
Without another word, she continued towards the exit.
Even though Touma didn't the money or a tip, at least he got a thank you.
That's a win, right?
"*Sigh*"
The pair continued to walk until they got to their car. The little girl sat in the back as her attendant took his seat and turned on the car.
"Did you really have to put him through all that miss? Didn't your father tell you just to give him the money and let bygones be bygones?"
The little girl rolled her eyes, "He inconvenienced me so I inconvenienced him."
"But Miss it was only for 5 minutes and wasn't it you who insisted on-street parking because it was faster than going to a garage?"
"T-That doesn't matter! Besides what does it matter anyway he's getting his debt paid off one way or the other, why shouldn't I have a little fun?"
The attended sighed as he pulled out his phone and transferred the money necessary to pay off the boy's debt.
"Still he is strange isn't he Miss? He didn't even hesitate to return that money to you."
"...Just drive."
"Of course Miss."
Now that his shift was over Touma began to walk back to District 7. He wouldn't dare use a bus since that would only increase his debt even more than it already was.
"So you got a summer job huh?"
Touma looked up and saw that same Judgement agent that put him here in the first place.
"Yeah, that debts not gonna pay itself."
"What're you talking about, that debt was already paid off earlier today."
Touma began to step closer towards her.
"Say what?"
"Uhh ...T-The debt was already paid off. Apparently, the owner realized it was a student and decided to pay off the debt fully. He said something about kids being kids."
"..."
"Are you-"
Touma practically squeezed her to death as he hugged her.
"THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I DIDN'T KNOW THIS WORLD WAS FILLED WITH SUCH KIND PEOPLE. YOU WOULDN'T IMAGINE THE KIND OF DAY I JUST HAD! THANK YOU!"
Yumi blushed as she struggled to get free, "P-Please let me go."
Touma complied and he ran off into the distance.
All the while cheering.
"What a weird guy."
August 3
Saten's Dorm
Touma celebrated after yesterday's amazing news by actually being able to afford his groceries. Though he was still on a budget due to the fact that he had no idea when he would be able to get his allowance again, he was still grateful for the things he had.
He even stopped by the hospital to see Yuki and proceeded to bug him for an apology until he wanted to jump out the window.
He eventually won and got, "Sorry for missing your head"
Still a victory in his book.
Though he did eventually have to explain to Misaki about the fact that he had gotten himself arrested since she immediately knew something was wrong when he got a job. She lectured him about taking responsibility for something he didn't do since Yuki was the one that threw the ball.
But that was all in the past and he was looking forward to the future.
He knocked on the door to the dorm and waited for Index to come out.
Apparently, the girls were sure that Mr. Daigo was going to propose so he wanted to come to watch.
The door slammed open and Index rushed out.
"Touma come on let's go!"
Asunaro Park
The group hid behind a bush as they listened in to the conversation between the Dorm manager and Mr. Daigo.
The Dorm manager had undergone a makeover from the girls.
"I can't put my finger on it but there's something different about you today."
The dorm manager fumbled for a second before regaining her composure, "Um about what we discussed yesterday."
Mr. Daigo nodded, "Yes, I really appreciated that I finally have all the courage I need and it's all thanks to you."
He then took out a small jewelry box which made her heart skip a beat. "W-What this?"
Mr. Daigo smiled, "I'm going to propose to my Girlfriend" He then looked over at Shigenomori Kazuko his Girlfriend.
"Y-Your girlfriend?"
"Yes, I was nervous but then you said that age didn't matter as long as you respect the person and you were right, Thank you."
The heartbroken woman smiled masking her disappointment, "It's no problem, I'm glad I could be of help. I wish you happiness, Mr. Daigo."
"Awww, I was sure it would work out. " Groaned Uiharu.
"What a shame who would've thought he had a Girlfriend" added Saten.
"I did"
Immediately all the girls turned to the poor foolish boy.
"What's wrong? Why are you guys surrounding me!? And what's with this dark aura I'm feeling?"
Kuroko was the first to speak as she narrowed her eyes at him, "So you knew the whole time."
"What? Yeah, that's why I said 'it's not gonna be that simple.' He had a girlfriend wasn't it obvious?"
Mikoto shoved Kuroko aside and glared at him, "Was it funny getting her hopes up like that? Letting her believe that she actually had a chance."
"What? No! In fact, I was kinda rooting for her too."
"What!?"
"I'm not blind! It's obvious she likes him and love isn't a thing that can go away just because the other person is in a relationship. But think of it like this now she has some sort of closure and can move on. If she never tried then she always would've wondered 'what if'. That's something I don't want on anyone."
Touma then pointed to the Dorm manager who was now playing with the children.
Mikoto stood in place thinking over the words he just said.
"Look I'm sorry I didn't say it earlier really. I honestly didn't know you guys weren't aware of that, I'm sorry."
"..."
Index then puffed out her chest proudly, "Apology accepted, but your gonna have to treat us all to lunch Touma."
Touma sighed, "Fine but we can't go back to the sushi bar."
Index tilted her head "Why?"
Omake
Is Cereal a Soup
"Hey Spiky black haired boy, is cereal a cold soup?"
"Hmm? You know now that you mention it maybe. I mean porridge is usually served cold so maybe. Why don't you look it up on your phone."
"I didn't bring it with me. What about you?"
"We're not allowed to have our phones on us here."
They both then eyed the tablet that the boy was holding.
"..."
He didn't budge so the two of the continued to talk.
"Tsk! Get lost already your annoying me."
Touma complied and said goodbye to the girl. When he turned around he saw that the boy was adding something to his coffee.
"Um, sir that's actually salt!"
The boy rolled his eyes there was no way the waiter could tell that it was salt all the way from there.
So he proceeded to pour it in and took a sip.
"..."
"Um….sir is everything alright?"
"Just get me another coffee."
Homerun
The moment Yuki missed the air was filled with silence.
"HAHAHA!
"HAHAHA!"
As the two of them laughed at him Yuki was about to smack them when some random school gym teacher approached him.
"Excuse me boy were you the one who threw that ball?"
Accelerator rolled his eyes, "Don't remind me."
"I think you have what it takes to be a real pro."
Touma then chimed in, "I wouldn't be so sure, he was aiming at me."
"Oh, nevermind then…...though how'd you miss him when you were that close?"
"THE SUN WAS IN MY EYES!"
They all looked up and saw it was cloudy.
"..."
"HAHAHA!"
"HAHAHA!"
"GOD DAMN IT!"
Author's Notes
The Leather jacket isn't magic, it's just a joke that I got from watching the Big Spider episode
I mean when he mentioned both Kuroko's and Mikoto's chest size and neither of them were offended I was like he must have maxed out his charisma stat or something!
