Duang!!!
A crisp and loud iron fist of love landed on Kuroko's head. As the saying goes, while violence doesn't solve problems, it can solve the person creating them.
Mikoto, Chinatsu, and Kuroko hurriedly walked out of the family restaurant, standing face-to-face with Uiharu and Saten with a hint of embarrassment.
"Ahem! Let me introduce you first. This is Uiharu Kazari, a first-year student at Sakugawa Middle School," Kuroko said, reaching out to rub her slightly swollen forehead.
Hearing Kuroko introduce her, Uiharu nervously lowered her head and stammered through her own introduction again.
When Kuroko's gaze fell on Saten next to Uiharu, before Kuroko could even ask, Saten opened her mouth in a carefree manner and introduced herself in her own style.
"Hello, I'm Saten Ruiko, Uiharu's classmate. I ended up following along without realizing it. By the way, I'm a Level 0 Powerless, you know."
"Sa... Saten-san!!!"
As soon as she said this, Uiharu's eyes widened beside her. She turned to look at Saten in a panic, as if saying there was no need to emphasize her status as a Level 0.
In Saten Ruiko's heart, she felt that someone like a Level 5 Esper would probably look down on others because of their superior abilities, especially since she was a young lady from Tokiwadai.
This prejudice came partly from public opinion and partly from her own inferiority complex; in her dreams, she had imagined awakening an ability countless times.
It wasn't about having a powerful ability; mostly, she just fantasized about awakening as a Level 1 Ability User like Uiharu.
If that were the case, she could also hear the teachers' complaints and encouragement when her ability didn't improve much.
If that were the case, she could sincerely smile while going to ability enhancement training classes with Uiharu.
If that were the case, she wouldn't need to force an indifferent expression whenever the topic of abilities came up, or quickly change the subject after a few casual remarks.
"Uiharu-san... Saten-san... right? I'm Misaka Mikoto. Please take care of me from now on."
Mikoto looked at the two of them with a smile. Contrary to the expected look of contempt, she even spoke humble words like 'please take care of me'.
Both Uiharu and Saten showed shocked expressions upon hearing this. Uiharu was marveling at the elegant grace of a high-class lady, while Saten could hardly believe her ears.
"Please... take care of us..."
The two of them stammered their response to Mikoto. Then, their gazes drifted toward Chinatsu beside Mikoto, only to see Chinatsu suddenly walking straight toward Saten.
"Wha... what is it?"
"Shh... stay calm."
Chinatsu approached Saten and gently placed a hand on the back of her head. Then, with a bit of pressure, she pressed her forehead against Saten's.
Seeing this, Uiharu's mouth immediately formed a wide 'O' shape. Although her cheeks flushed, it was nothing compared to Saten, the person involved.
The blush on Saten's face even spread to the tips of her ears. Her heart beat rapidly, and her thoughts were a chaotic mess.
