There was nothing Misaka Mikoto could do about Hoshikatsu's sweet words or crazy words.

The time dimension, concepts of common sense and understanding of human principles between the two are very different.

It’s not like Misaka Mikoto has never encountered immortals or the immortal race. She has dealt with many so-called elves, gods, vampires or quantum life beings.

However, most of these so-called long-lived life forms have the mission and meaning to survive for a long time.

You will not be confused because of your long life, nor will you fall asleep forever because you have lost the meaning of life.

They will not have too much contact with short-lived races like humans, after all, the common sense of the two sides is really different.

There are only a few cases like C.C., and they don't live a very unrestrained life.

Therefore, in contact with those immortals who often lived for thousands or tens of thousands of years, Misaka Mikoto did not get much useful inspiration for getting along with beings outside the standard like Hoshikaki.

There is too much difference, and it has no reference value at all. It is not as useful as the experience I summed up in my brief contact with Xingke.

Misaka Mikoto believed that other people in Hongjie Ark would definitely get similar answers. After a short period of confusion and groping, everyone finally chose their attitude towards Xingke based on their own intuition——

Mo Meixiang was very naive and brave and regarded Xingke as a kind elder with whom she could communicate, and she respected and loved him very much.

Alistria always fears and awes the stars, so she keeps away from them, which is the opposite of Mo Meixiang.

Uncle Blitz simply regarded the Stars as a new species, "evil gods" that could be traded and exploited by each other - eternal hidden hunting targets, natural disasters such as active volcanoes that would never erupt.

Suzaku Shumu simply regarded Xingke as being of the same kind as the witch and the devil, a type of person that he could not understand. Then he gave up thinking and entrusted this kind of matter that required brain thinking to the "wise man" he trusted.

...Everyone is different, but Misaka Mikoto understands that everyone is trying to explain things they cannot understand into things they can understand.

Use this to maintain your ideals, so that you can face the stars directly.

Just like Misaka Mikoto herself has always used "scientific" methods to describe "magic", all in order to prevent herself from exploding with blood when using magic.

——Harmful knowledge is really terrible.

Therefore, Hoshikatsu is a "pest" to Misaka Mikoto!~

It is a "poison" that is sweet and can restore blood but will definitely reduce the San value.

It is also a "magic book" that can gain great power just by reading it, but it will also destroy itself.

——In the end, Misaka Mikoto also used the knowledge she understood to explain the existence of [Star Knife] and defined his status.

For this reason, she didn't want to face Xingke directly. Even when she heard that Xingke was back, she didn't take the time to pay a visit.

After all, it is true that she is very busy.

However, the theorem that things will always develop in directions you do not want is still alive and well.

Now that the natural disaster has arrived at the door of the house, and the knocking method is still very rude, Misaka Mikoto has no intention of being polite to Hoshikatsu.

After all, Hoshikatsu, as the benefactor who changed the trajectory of her destiny, pointed out the path of life for her directly or indirectly. In her mind, she has a status similar to that of a teacher of reconstruction. Misaka Mikoto still knows the most basic gratitude.

…

"Tell me, are you looking for death?! How do you want to die..."

Misaka Mikoto tried her best to sound amiable, so as to cover up the fact that she was really angry at Hoshikatsu——

Not only did he start off with a royal accent, but he also teased her about having a harem, and dismissed other people's sincere words as jokes. Who cares about attacking him!——

Moreover, by now, he was almost fooled for playing with his own trumpet, and he didn't even get an apology.

It’s really unbearable…

"No, Misaka, you have to believe me. If I say I'm here to play with you, I can't lie."

Xing Ke had a serious face and tried his best to show his harmless side.

"But to be honest, your proposal is very attractive. If you have the ability to kill me, I will definitely give it a try.

Being able to die in the hands of a spirited junior like you may be a compliment to me."

"..."

Misaka Mikoto fell silent for a moment. She really had no choice. The will to die that Hoshikatsu exuded from her body at that moment suppressed her soul, preventing her from doubting Hoshikatsu at all.

Determined to die.

But then the trend of star portrayal changed, and she was almost mad to death again——

"It's a pity that you can't do it. I look down on you."

"Damn it, you-"

Misaka Mikoto really had no choice but to turn to Illya and plead:

"Illya, can you take him back? I feel like I'm going crazy."

If there is anyone who is an exception in her attitude towards Hoshikatsu, Misaka Mikoto thinks that it is none other than Illya.

While everyone else instinctively wants to protect their own sanity in front of Xing Ke, Ilia is the only one who wants to get closer to Xing Ke without any plan, and arrogantly wants to pull Xing Ke down from the sky to the same dimension as herself.

.

She has an obsession to know more about the stars no matter how much she is destroyed, which is almost crazy and foolish.

This is also true. She is learning more and more from Xingke——

"Mikoto, this is your fault." Illya said confidently:

"You and Keith are so tit-for-tat every time you meet. The more intense your reaction, the more he wants to mock you maliciously.

You should have remembered this lesson long ago."

"Is it my fault?!~"

Then, as if they had agreed upon it, Xingke and Illya put one hand on Misaka's shoulders and comforted her softly at the same time:

""Relax and become gentle, Misaka (little Mikoto)~"

"I don't want it! You two, please stop it~"

………

…

In the end, this quarrel was like a greeting after a long time. Because Misaka Mikoto didn't want to change herself because of such boring things, she had to accept the status quo.

The collision ended with a complete victory for Xingke and Ilia's side.

"...Well, in the final analysis, because of my slight obsessive-compulsive disorder, everyone else saw you without you, which really made me feel uncomfortable.

So we really just came here to see you, don’t pay attention.”

Maybe he was tired from standing, so he leaned on the fence of the rooftop.

Illya lowered her body and apologized to comfort Misaka Mikoto who had been "played" by Hoshikatsu.

"Then I heard Aleister say that the original Kamijou force became Misaka's force, so I wanted to tease you, but I didn't expect you to react so strongly."
