Academy City's Puppet Master

Hearing this, Misaka Mikoto also quietly touched her stomach.

Speaking of which, I only ate one crepe this afternoon...

I was also planning to have dinner at a public restaurant, but was interrupted.

The familiar sigh sounded again.

Ling Xingye drew out two 2 yuan bills: "Today I have an extra [-] yuan in income—the rules of the world, everyone who sees it has a share. I will use it to treat you to dinner."

is this okay?Misaka Mikoto still hesitated.

But Kamijou Touma has already rushed forward as if seeing a savior.

"Thank you so much! Generous Master Xingye!"

"In this case... I don't mind..." Misaka Mikoto also said.

Ling Xingye nodded: "Then it's such a happy decision. Is there any recommended shop? Let me tell you first, the budget is only 2 yuan, and the cuisine is too high-end."

He mainly said it to Misaka Mikoto, because she is a student of a noble girls' school, and her consumption concept may be a little different from ordinary people.

"Don't think of people as extravagant! I'm also used to going to ordinary restaurants!"

Saying that, Misaka Mikoto took the lead.

The two boys behind hurriedly followed.

"With my luck, if I go back and look for it, I will definitely not find the wallet. So let's grab the dinner that is right in front of us first." Kamijou Touma said, "Thank you so much, Xingye!"

Ling Xingye shook his head: "You're welcome, strictly speaking, the 2 yuan is considered ill-gotten wealth, so it's better to spend it as soon as possible."

"Hey, do you also believe in such things?" Misaka Mikoto, who was walking in front, turned her head and said, "According to your logic, shouldn't those gangsters who robbed money should have been punished long ago?"

Ling Xingye replied: "Have they received enough punishment tonight?"

"It's true..." Misaka Miqin slowed down and stood side by side with Ling Xingye, "You are really a strange person. Even though you have such a strong ability, do you still believe in these things? Reincarnation of cause and effect?"

"It's better to believe what you have than to believe what you don't have. It's not so much a superstition, it's better to say something like an outlook on life."

"Really?" Misaka Mikoto didn't intend to continue to delve into this topic, and changed the subject naturally, "By the way, what is Xingye's ability? It can't really be a puppet operation, right? You blocked my way just now. The railgun definitely doesn’t use puppets!”

"You call Hitomi Shiranui senior, but you call me by my first name... Isn't it inappropriate? I'm also two grades higher than you."

"Because I have a good relationship with Senior Shiranui, and I respect her very much, but I'm not familiar with you at all."

Ling Xingye looked at her suspiciously: "You...you said it the wrong way?"

"Don't worry about these details, boys should be more generous! It's just a title, whatever is fine?" Misaka Mikoto walked forward quickly, "That nosy idiot is also a high school student, I always call him an idiot, and he has no problem Well."

"No, I think Kamijou Touma must have an opinion." Ling Xingye turned around and said, "Yes, Kamijou..."

That unfortunate boy with the hedgehog head is gone.

===Chapter 7 Thunder Fury===

"Ah... I'm so unlucky!" Kamijou Touma couldn't even wail very far in the crowd, "Before I knew it, I even lost my dinner... Could it be that I can only be hungry today? Is your stomach asleep yet?"

And on the other side...

Suddenly it became a scene of two people.Misaka Mikoto looked at the boys beside her: "Yes, do you want to continue?"

Ling Xingye, who was thinking about whether to try to find Kamijou Touma, asked, "What?"

Misaka Mikoto pointed to a restaurant not far ahead: "Do you still have dinner?"

Since it's so close, let's give up looking for Kamijou Touma.Ling Xingye made a decisive decision.

"It just happened that he got lost, there is really no way." After taking a seat on the chair in the restaurant, Ling Xingye said, "We just met today, so I don't even have a phone number."

Misaka Mikoto said dissatisfied: "What do you mean it was him? Could it be that I was the one who got separated?"

"Or, Xingye has my number?" The girl looked over with questioning eyes.

"No," Ling Xingye shook his head, "but I think Hitomi should have your number, so it's no problem."

"No, I haven't changed numbers with Shiranui-senpai." Misaka Mikoto took out a frog-shaped mobile phone, "To avoid this situation, let's exchange numbers."

After exchanging phone numbers, Misaka Mikoto looked at her phone screen with satisfaction.

"Then, back to the topic just now. What exactly is Xingye's ability?"

Ling Xingye didn't answer directly, but stretched out one hand, and easily lifted the huge travel bag containing the sprite.

"The weight of this bag at the moment is about ninety kilograms."

This is a weight that is absolutely impossible for normal people to lift with one hand.

Then he let go of his hand suddenly, but the travel bag didn't land.Instead, it seemed to be lifted up by some force and stayed in mid-air.

"Silk thread?" Misaka Mikoto guessed, recalling the scene where Ling Xingye used metal wire to conduct electricity during the confrontation not long ago.

One side reached out and approached the past.

"That's right... Be careful, it's made of carbon nanotubes. It's very thin, so it's hard to detect with the naked eye, and it's very sharp!"

"This is just a high-tech material, not a super power?" Misaka Mikoto lightly touched the existence of the silk thread, "Could it be that you are a material creation type."

"No," Ling Xingye shook his head, "My ability is the phase fulcrum of level 3, and the silk thread is just a prop. Because my ability can only be observed by myself, and it is only meaningful to me; so in order to apply it to reality , need the help of external objects.”
