Chapter 415: A Light in Infinite Darkness

"Miss Misaka's boyfriend?!"

Unfortunately for Yuki, no matter how much he tried to hide and evade gazes, in the end, a girl managed to see him walking hand in hand with Railgun. This made the girl open her mouth and quickly pull out her phone to take a photo...

[Misaka-sama seen with a man!]

Needless to say, the picture of Mikoto being led by a handsome boy spread throughout Tokiwadai and was heavily commented on by the Ojou-samas.

In less than 10 minutes, everyone in Tokiwadai knew that Mikoto had a boyfriend, including a certain starry-eyed girl, who, upon seeing this photo, shadow covered her eyes...

"I found you~✨"

There was a cold smile on the girl's face, and her aura exuded a thirst for blood.

Of course, Yuki and Mikoto were unaware that they had already been seen and were now the talk of all the girls in Tokiwadai.

Holding hands, the young couple walked down a fairly large street. As they walked, people turned to look at them, and in their eyes, various emotions could be observed—admiration, jealousy, and, of course, envy.

After all, for the girls to see Mikoto walking hand in hand with a handsome boy who could rival any professional model made them blush. Some girls thought it was a pity, acknowledging Mikoto's cuteness, but her figure wasn't very feminine. A few girls even pushed out their chests as if to flaunt their charms to Yuki.

On the other hand, the boys averted their gaze, with tiny tears in their eyes—there was no justice in the world.

Seeing Yuki, a handsome boy, hand in hand with an equally beautiful girl, pierced their hearts. As always, girls preferred handsome boys.

Those burning eyes made Mikoto unconsciously lower her head so much that she could almost touch her chest, if she had one to touch.

(TN: Holyyy fuck that was burn calm down author)

Her shy appearance made Yuki smile. Mikoto was so innocent that just holding her hand made her die of embarrassment. However, this pit was one she had dug herself.

Who would have thought that this girl had unconsciously invited him on a date?

Yuki acted according to the circumstances.

Yuki was also curious. If Mikoto acted like this just by holding hands in public... what would happen if he kissed her now?

It was possible that the entire district would be without electricity for a few hours due to electrical shocks...

There was still a long way to go if he wanted this to become a reality, but for now, Yuki was enjoying the feeling of holding Mikoto's hand.

Many people had already identified Mikoto as one of the Level 5 espers in the city. It must be said that they were quite surprised by this; however, this was also one of the objectives of this date.

"Yuki Uchiha (Champion): In summary, the sisters are fine..."

"Mikoto Misaka:..."

With Yuki explaining the situation through the chat, the atmosphere between them was silent.

Mikoto had, of course, read all the information, or at least it seemed so, as she was too embarrassed to respond.

"Are you okay?"

"..."

Mikoto didn't even bother to respond. Seeing this, Yuki smiled and decided to play a prank on this girl who dared not lift her head.

He quickly found a clothing store, and Yuki walked towards it. Mikoto didn't know where they were going; she simply let Yuki lead the way while her thoughts were a mess...

Upon entering, the eyes of the employees lit up when they saw this young couple, and they approached them like bees to honey.

"Thank you, miss~"

Once inside, Yuki quickly selected a sexy bikini and thanked the employee as he handed it to Mikoto, who unconsciously accepted it...

"...."

It wasn't until seconds later, with something in her hands other than Yuki's, that Mikoto woke up.

"Huh?! What is this?!"

She opened her mouth in shock, and her face turned so red that steam seemed to come out of her head as she looked around. Seeing such sensual swimsuits and many daring clothes, similar to those Kuroko kept in her closet.

"Let's finally see you lift your head... Come on, try it on..."

Pushing the stunned Mikoto, Yuki narrowed his eyes and murmured in her ear...

"Come on~, my dear girlfriend~"

"Who would try this?! Idiot!!"

And of course, Mikoto couldn't handle this...

Half an hour later, they were having a milkshake in a restaurant. Mikoto refused to look at him; needless to say, she was quite angry and embarrassed.

"It's your fault for ignoring me all this time."

Yuki shrugged and looked at her with one eye.

"Besides, you really liked those cute swimsuits. I know you've secretly tried them on~"

Although Mikoto was quite angry about Yuki's prank, her eyes lit up when she saw the slightly childish swimsuits. They were cute with their frills and everything. Yuki turned a blind eye and didn't bother Mikoto anymore, giving her some personal space.

Or so it seemed. After all, with the Sharingan in his possession, nothing escaped his eyes.

"You!! Did you see me?!"

Pointing a trembling finger, Mikoto blushed bright red. After all, when Yuki went to the bathroom, she took advantage of the moment and tried on these cute swimsuits, even bought some secretly. Unfortunately, everything was seen...

"Yes, I saw it. And if I give my honest opinion, they look very good on you, especially the green one with Gekota's face. It's very cute~"

Smiling, Yuki closed his eyes, making Mikoto unconsciously step back a little embarrassed. Honestly, she couldn't keep up with Yuki's jokes.

This, for some strange reason, reminded her of a certain starry-eyed girl who also liked to play pranks.But unlike that girl, Mikoto didn't mind Yuki's jokes. On the contrary, in a way, it was fun and a bit embarrassing.

"This is for you..."

After chatting for a few minutes, Yuki handed Mikoto a small box, who tilted her head in confusion and threw a suspicious look at Yuki, who just shrugged...

"I hope it's not something weird..."

"It depends on you, whether to open it or not..."

With no other choice, Mikoto reluctantly opened the small box, and what appeared inside made Mikoto's eyes light up.

It was a beautiful necklace with small pink diamonds in its structure, along with a thunder insignia that seemed to be sparking.

Needless to say, Mikoto was delighted...

What woman wouldn't like jewelry and pretty things?

"Thunder Soul... that's its name."

Before Mikoto realized it, Yuki was already by her side. He took one of her hands and, at the same time, used the other to push her hair away from her neck.

"!!"

Mikoto's heart began to beat strongly. Yuki took the necklace from her hands and gently placed it around her neck.

"I made it using my own ability, so you'll always have a part of me with you..."

As if Yuki's words had an effect, Mikoto could see it. Everything around her was dark, but there was something...

There was a ray of light. This light didn't belong to the sun or electricity; it was warm and comforting.

This ray of light penetrated through the infinite darkness, protecting everyone with its light. Mikoto looked at it from a distance. The light seemed so far away that it seemed unattainable.

"!!"

Then Mikoto saw it. A pink-haired girl passed by her, running and trying to reach that ray of light, regardless of being surrounded by infinite darkness. This girl ran and used that ray of light as a guide. However, that wasn't all; behind the pink-haired girl, a silver-haired loli also ran, and behind her, several other women ran toward that ray of light.

The figures of the women were blurry but familiar. Mikoto didn't know what this light was for these women to run after it, trying to reach it and enter the infinite darkness.

For some strange reason, Mikoto also wanted to run after that ray of light. However, she couldn't do it. Darkness is scary; it's so lonely and cold that it consumes the soul in eternal chaos.

Then it happened. Just as Mikoto stepped back in fear, another woman passed by her running. This woman had beautiful long golden hair. Mikoto opened her eyes in shock at this figure because this woman was someone she would never forget. She had beautiful starry eyes.

"Misaki... Shokuhou."
