Although it was an ordinary sports festival with standard competitive events, the recommended use of Espers had turned it into a spectacular battle of superpowers. Nearly every event revolved around competition between Espers.
"Speaking of which, Shokuhou Misaki, you don't seem to have much stamina. Now that you've got that system, your stamina should be far better than before, right...? Let me see how well you perform at the Daiha Seisai Festival. Or are you still too scared to show up even with a system, only using your power to cancel your own events? My, my, then I'd really have to look at you in a new light, Sho--kou--hou--Mi--sa--ki."
In an instant, Mikoto seemed to recall something. That mocking expression, paired with her distinctive tone, made Shokuhou Misaki's cheeks twitch nonstop. Her whole body nearly twisted out of shape.
Even Chu Chen could not help taking several steps back in the face of that thick smell of gunpowder, quickly retreating from the battlefield.
Come to think of it, Mikoto, that mocking tone really didn't fit your character!
Weren't you supposed to be the one Shokuhou Misaki always kept under her thumb? Why were you starting to fight back now?
Patchy, Go on a Date with Me!
"Why are you still here?"
When Chu Chen returned to his room and saw Patchouli, he froze slightly.
His instinctive words made Patchouli furrow her brow, a trace of displeasure appearing between her brows.
"What do you mean by that? Are you not welcoming me here?"
"No, no! That's not what I meant. You know, I'm just surprised Remilia didn't call you back."
"I've simply gotten used to this place. If I'm not welcome, I can leave whenever I want."
"That's not what I mean. It's better if you haven't gone back..."
"..."
