At first, Fang Li was also puzzled as to why Misaka Misuzu would approach him.
In fact, the reason was very simple, almost too simple.
"Excuse me, where is the venue for Tokiwadai's next match?"
That was the reason Misaka Misuzu sought out Fang Li. Even though she had a guidebook, Misaka Misuzu still couldn't find the place, so she planned to ask someone nearby for help.
At that moment, Fang Li just happened to be passing by.
"Because I saw a famous figure who's been featured in the newspapers."
So Misaka Misuzu simply approached Fang Li and asked him to guide her.
'How should one put it?'
This "Okaa-sama" really didn't sweat the small stuff.
To put it nicely, she was easygoing; to put it bluntly, she was rather careless.
She hadn't even considered that Fang Li, precisely because he had become famous, found it particularly troublesome when people approached him for such reasons. If it weren't for the fact that Misaka Misuzu was Misaka Mikoto's mother, Fang Li would have already refused back then.
After all, guiding someone was something anyone could do, right?
He was still in the middle of searching for that gluttonous nun who had run off somewhere to eat and drink.
However, since he had recognized Misaka Misuzu, Fang Li had no choice but to get involved.
"Well, whatever, it's just giving directions anyway."
Thus, Fang Li prepared to lead Misaka Misuzu to Tokiwadai's next competition venue. Unexpectedly, halfway there, they ran into Misaka Mikoto, whom he had met not long ago under rather awkward circumstances.
That's why Fang Li called it an ill-fated encounter.
And Misaka Mikoto seemed to think the same.
"…Why?" Misaka Mikoto covered her face as if she couldn't bear to look, muttering, "Why would you even end up asking this person for directions?"
The reason was actually quite simple, wasn't it?
It was just that this Onee-sama's mother had too much of a playful spirit.
"Mom is actually very glad, you know?" Misaka Misuzu said happily. "I didn't expect my Mikoto-chan to meet such an interesting boy in Academy City. I was worried for a long time that my daughter wasn't the type who could open up and hang out with boys."
"Y-You shut up!" Misaka Mikoto shouted again in embarrassment. "Stop saying such shameful things! And I'm not hanging out with this guy! Our relationship isn't that good!"
"Really?" Misaka Misuzu blinked and asked, "Then does that mean you haven't even exchanged phone numbers?"
As soon as she said that, Misaka Mikoto's expression froze.
Not just Misaka Mikoto, even Shirai Kuroko, who was lying there completely charred, trembled.
Seeing this, Misaka Misuzu immediately understood something and snickered.
"Oh my, if you've already exchanged phone numbers, doesn't that count as being close?"
"T-That's not it!" Misaka Mikoto hurriedly explained. "It was more like a coincidence… or some kind of incomprehensible situation! Anyway, it's not what you think!"
"It's fine, it's fine," Misaka Misuzu said with a smile. "Didn't Mom say? I'm very open-minded. At your age, it's perfectly normal to want a boyfriend. Mom fully supports it!"
"B-Boyfriend?!" Misaka Mikoto reacted intensely, freezing on the spot as her pretty face turned bright red.
And if even Misaka Mikoto reacted like that, there was no need to mention Shirai Kuroko.
"Please forgive my bluntness, Okaa-sama!" Shirai Kuroko suddenly raised her head and shouted at Misaka Misuzu. "Onee-sama getting a boyfriend is absolutely impossible! Rather, it's completely unimaginable! Someone like Onee-sama, who lacks any girlish charm and is instead as straightforward and cool as a boy, should step into a new era! A boyfriend? Getting a girlfriend is the proper path, puwah!"
"Kuroko…" Misaka Mikoto closed her eyes and firmly pressed Shirai Kuroko's head down onto the table. With a strained smile, as if suppressing her anger, she said, "Just what kind of person am I in your mind, huh?"
Not only Misaka Mikoto, even Misaka Misuzu let out a wry smile.
"It seems my Mikoto-chan's life in Academy City is quite lively," Misaka Misuzu said. Then she put on a smile again and turned to the bored-looking Fang Li beside her. "What do you think, Fang-san?"
"Me?" Fang Li was slightly taken aback.
"W-Why are you asking this guy?!" Misaka Mikoto glared at Fang Li and said to Misaka Misuzu, "If you want to ask something about me, just ask me directly! How could this guy possibly know?"
As soon as those words left Misaka Mikoto's mouth, Fang Li spoke up.
"That's not necessarily true," Fang Li said casually. "There are some things I do know. For example, although Tokiwadai Middle School basically forbids makeup, you still use a kind of light makeup that others can hardly notice. You apply lip balm every day, and you hide things like perfume, items that violate school rules, inside stuffed toys in your dorm to avoid being discovered by the dorm supervisor. Also, you don't like overly hot baths, so you rarely soak and prefer showers. Your taste in food is relatively light, you never touch greasy food. Am I wrong?"
"Oooh!" Misaka Misuzu immediately let out a pleasantly surprised sound.
"Y-y-y-y-you…!" Misaka Mikoto's pretty face flushed bright red. She pointed at Fang Li with a trembling finger, looking utterly incredulous.
"H-How is that possible?!" Shirai Kuroko also seemed deeply shaken, her whole body trembling as she shouted, "Why does a scoundrel like you know so much of Onee-sama's personal information?!"
"Is that a lot?" Fang Li took a sip of his drink and continued as if amused, "There's more. Although your Onee-sama looks like a tomboy, she unexpectedly likes cute things. Her favorite is frog-themed character merchandise; its name seems to be Gekota. Also, her preferences tend toward younger tastes, her pajamas are rather childish, and even her underwear is, "
"That's enough!" Misaka Mikoto finally couldn't take it anymore. Covering her burning red face, as if on the verge of tears, she trembled as she said, "Why do you even know all this?!"
"Y-you bastard!" Shirai Kuroko shouted as well. "To think you possess such detailed intelligence, so you really had designs on Onee-sama from the very beginning! I truly underestimated you for not noticing this sooner!"
"At this point, as her mother, I can't oppose it anymore," Misaka Misuzu sighed, though she looked clearly delighted. Smiling at Fang Li, she said, "Since you already understand my Mikoto-chan to this extent, it seems she won't be able to marry anyone but you. Could I trouble you to take her in?"
Hearing this, Fang Li suddenly smiled and replied:
"Too bad her development is a bit lacking; otherwise, I might consider it."
That single sentence made Misaka Mikoto explode once more.
"Biri...… !"
The sound of electricity crackled throughout the surroundings.
