Misaka Mikoto's words were a huge blow to Kushina. It wasn't because she was Mayo's friend, but because of her last sentence. She was temporarily staying at Mayo's house, which was quite a big deal. Misaka Mikoto's surname wasn't Thousand-Hand, and she wasn't from the same family, yet she was living under the same roof as Mayo. This was nothing more than a situation where she was either married or dating. Regardless of which, it was enough to cause a huge blow to Kushina.
" You…stop lying. Mayo is only five years old. You're at least ten years old. You're already so old, how could you…" Very soon, Koshina noticed Misaka Mikoto's age and immediately felt that she had been deceived. No matter how she looked at it, Misaka Mikoto was more than ten years old, while Mayo was only five years old. How could they have that kind of relationship? She was almost fooled by this guy.
"Old…? Ten years old…?" Misaka Mikoto's mouth twitched when she heard what Koshina said. She really didn't know how to answer. In the eyes of this little brat, ten years old was already considered old. Moreover, Misaka Mikoto was already fourteen years old. Why was she treated as ten years old? Was it because she was a pauper? But what could she say? If she refuted that she was fourteen years old, wouldn't that indirectly admit that she was an old woman?
Koshina wasn't someone to be trifled with either. She immediately made Misaka Mikoto fall into a speechless state. For a moment, the two of them stared at each other, neither of them willing to give in.
"What are you two doing here?”
At this moment, Mayo appeared behind Misaka Mikoto with a sleepy look on her face. After resting for a few hours, she had almost replenished her energy. Ninjas did not need much sleep, so she had not seen Misaka Mikoto since she arrived. After searching many places, she found two life electromagnetic waves in front of the door, so she came over to take a look. She did not expect to see Misaka Mikoto and Kushina staring at each other.
"Ah!"
When they saw that it was Mayo, both Kushina and Misaka Mikoto were shocked. Their faces turned slightly red. Kushina was afraid that Mayo would misunderstand, while Misaka Mikoto was afraid that Mayo would find out that she wanted to sneak out to play. After all, Mayo had already instructed her not to run around. This made her unable to help but secretly look up at Mayo. As expected, Mayo's eyes revealed a dangerous signal.
"It's…it's like this, Mayo. You haven't been to school for so many days, and the teachers are already starting to worry about you. Your sister seems to be out on a mission again, so I decided to come over to see if anything happened to you!”Kushina cheered herself up, then put her hands on her hips and said casually.
"School?" Mayo was slightly stunned when she heard what Kushina said. Speaking of which, ever since he went to school on the first day, he had not gone to school for the following week. She was probably starting to get angry. She said that she was worried, but in reality, that teacher was worried about Tsunete, so she tactfully said that she was worried.
"I understand. I'll go to school in two days. I'm sorry to trouble you to come personally!”Mayo looked at Kushina and said calmly after she regained her senses.
"It's nothing. I'm just passing on a message!”Koshina shook her head and looked at Mayo shyly. However, she realized that Mayo's eyes were fixed on Misaka Mikoto and had no intention of inviting her in. This made her a little angry, but she was too embarrassed to say it out loud. She could only say," If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first!"”
"Okay, I'll see you at school tomorrow!" Mayo nodded. Although he knew that it would be impolite not to invite Koshina in for a cup of tea, he had no choice. Misaka Mikoto's summoning time was almost up, so he could not let Koshina see him. He could only harden his heart and let her leave.
Upon hearing Mayo's words, Kushina nodded sadly and turned to leave. When Mayo saw this, she grabbed Misaka Mikoto and pulled her in. She then closed the door and pressed her against the wall while staring at her.
"You…what do you want? Let me tell you, don't be rough, or I'll electrocute you!”Misaka Mikoto felt uncomfortable being stared at by Mayo, so she quickly averted her eyes. Her words, which were originally quite imposing, were spoken in a very low voice, giving off a feeling of reluctance.
"Did you ignore my words? You only have half an hour left before the summoning time. If someone outside saw you suddenly disappear, do you know how big of a problem it would cause? Moreover, if the higher-ups of the village know that you, an outsider, are in the village, they will definitely treat you as a spy. At that time, do you know what kind of danger you will encounter without me knowing?”Mayo was really a little angry this time.
Although Misaka Mikoto was very strong, as mentioned earlier, her physical fitness and combat experience were her shortcomings. Her physical fitness naturally consisted of both physical skills and stamina. With her stamina, killing a hundred ninjas was probably her limit. If someone were to kite her, Misaka Mikoto would probably be exhausted to death. In addition to sneak attacks, her physical skills were almost zero. With her weak combat experience, she would not be able to withstand many attacks.
"Dangerous? Don't forget, I'm an esper, one of the only seven espers in the academy city. What kind of danger do you think I'll encounter? Hmph, if anyone dares to find trouble with me, I'll definitely beat them up!”Misaka Mikoto placed her hands on her hips as she spoke in a nonchalant tone. However, she did not dare to look at Mayo as her eyes darted around. It was obvious that she was extremely uneasy and shaken.
There was no doubt that Mayo was worried about her. Misaka Mikoto could feel it, and this made her extremely happy. At the same time, she also felt strange. There were many people who liked her in the academy city, and there were also many people who were worried about her. However, she did not waver as she did now. Why was that? Could it be because she was the first member of the opposite sex to worry about him? However, this was too strange. Mayo was only a five-year-old kid.
"Forget it. From the looks of it, you should be a little regretful. I won't say anything more. The time for this summoning is almost up, but I can promise you now that the next time I summon you, I will bring you out to play. So, don't think about sneaking out to play in the future, understand?”Seeing Misaka Mikoto's expression, he knew that she was just being arrogant. Although she was regretful, she still spoke stubbornly, which made Mayo lose her temper.
This was the tsundere cannon that he used to like. If he didn't have this attribute, he might not have liked her so much back then.
