Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki

In a corner, a frail-looking boy with a strange device on his head raised his hand.

His name was Yobi Bouman, also a Level 4 esper with the ability "Telekinesis." The device on his head was an enhancement tool for his ability.

Metal rings extending from his head were connected to a device at his waist, and his goggles acted as a switch for his powers, allowing him to perform abilities derived from telekinesis such as pyrokinesis, silencing, invisibility, and electronic manipulation.

"Whatever," Kakine Teitoku waved dismissively, not caring in the slightest, and signaled to Gokuhari Ayami to bring in the person from "Block."

"Hello."

A man who looked like a bear, exuding an aura of iron and blood, wearing camouflage gear, and looking like a mercenary, burst through the door.

"I am Sakuhiko Tatsumi, the leader of 'Block.'"

"Nice to meet you, 'Dark Matter'."

The man walked straight in and stood there, his gaze impolitely fixed on Kakine Teitoku.

Kakine Teitoku completely ignored the impudent gaze, instead wearing a wicked, almost villainous smile on his face.

"Speak, what do you want from me?"

"If it's nothing that interests me, get out."

Sakuhiko Tatsumi nodded, his eyes finally scanning the room before settling on the only sofa, where he went and sat down.

"I'm not here for anything else."

"Let's work together to destroy the Artificial Intelligence Factory and remove Aleister from the position of Chairman."

"Oh?"

Kakine Teitoku deliberately drawled out the word.

It sounded utterly mocking.

But a closer look would reveal that Kakine Teitoku's feet were no longer on the desk.

"As far as I know, your organization is just a bunch of mercenaries."

"What makes you think you're qualified to cooperate with me?"

Kakine Teitoku didn't hide his own ambition for the highest position in Academy City.

Or rather, from the beginning, his goal had always been to gain the ability to talk to Aleister.

Many of his actions were efforts towards this goal.

Attacking the Artificial Intelligence Factory was indeed part of his plan, after all, the factory contained something he anticipated needing in order to converse with Aleister.

However, he didn't think this man before him was qualified to cooperate with him.

"How arrogant," Sakuhiko Tatsumi said in a low voice, but he didn't get angry because of it, instead curling the corner of his mouth.

"I know, espers look down on ordinary people."

"But we have prepared over 5,000 mercenaries, as well as all kinds of modern weapons and devices to interfere with espers."

"It's more than enough to conquer the Artificial Intelligence Factory."

Sakuhiko Tatsumi said confidently, he really seemed to believe he could break through the Artificial Intelligence Factory.

"Heh."

Whether it was a mockery or something else.

Kakine Teitoku laughed out loud, his eyes also turning gloomy.

"It seems you're very confident, if you're already confident you can do it, what are you doing here?"

"We need your power."

Clicking his tongue, Sakuhiko Tatsumi spat impolitely.

He seemed like he really didn't want to cooperate, but was forced to come here.

"Although we have prepared very thoroughly, that Number Four, his ability is very troublesome."

"This man is likely to disrupt our original plan."

"And Number Five, as well."

"To be honest, we only have perfect measures in place against Number Six."

"I see."

The smile on Kakine Teitoku's face became even more unrestrained.

"So you've come to me to cooperate, wanting me to contain Number Four and Number Five?"

"You've got quite the plan."

Sakuhiko Tatsumi didn't back down an inch.

"I heard that Number One's power far surpasses other espers."

"Then Number Two shouldn't be much weaker than him."

"Hahahaha—!"

Kakine Teitoku laughed even louder, even standing up.

"Interesting, I'll agree to your request."

Chapter 360: Trouble Magnet

"Not bad."

The moon and stars were sparse, and night had already fallen. Haramura Sei had been wandering outside for half a day and had now arrived at one of Misaka Mikoto's many properties.

Yes, the property that was promised to Haramura Sei.

The house located in the 18th District.

The 18th District.

This is the district in Academy City with a high concentration of esper development schools.

It has a strong competitive relationship with the School Garden of the 7th District.

This also represents another thing.

That is, land here is extremely expensive.

Being able to have a large private plot of land with each villa in this kind of place, those who can buy here are some truly top-tier rich second generations.

"That?"

Itsuwa was a little nervous.

The pink-haired girl standing next to Haramura Sei looked at the European-style manor in front of her, which was so spacious that it could almost be compared to two soccer fields. Itsuwa could almost swallow an egg whole.

There was no way around it.

The Amakusa-style Cross Rite sect is essentially a poor sect.

Because there are very few people in this sect.

Even during its peak period, this sect did not exceed one hundred people.

Naturally, it is impossible to receive any so-called offerings from believers.

Moreover, the Amakusa-style Cross Rite sect is essentially a wandering sect.

They adhere to the principle of taking the four seas as their home, wandering around, and healing the wounded and rescuing the dying.

It would be strange if such a sect had money.

When Itsuwa joined this sect, the sect had never been rich.

Although she has gained some experience in the past month or two since joining the Anglican Church.

Of course, the Imperial Palace is much more magnificent than this building.

But that's the Imperial Palace, this is private land, how can it be the same.

"Alright, don't just stand there."

"Let's go in first."

Haramura Sei chuckled and directly unlocked the gate, walking into the courtyard.

Itsuwa's proactive arrival was unexpected for Haramura Sei.

Originally, he wanted to come here by himself tonight, and he even directly rejected Misaka Mikoto's request.

However, he didn't know how Itsuwa found out and was waiting for him nearby.

There was no way around it, Haramura Sei brought Itsuwa along.

"When will your companions arrive approximately?"

"They probably wouldn't feel comfortable letting you be my bodyguard alone, right?"

As if returning to his own home, Haramura Sei skillfully found the door leading to the hall and sat down on the sofa.

"Yes."

"The Acting Pope has already sent me a message, saying that they will arrive in Academy City in two days and sneak in."

Itsuwa also followed Haramura Sei into the room, her ochre-colored pupils constantly scanning the room like cameras.

Itsuwa's tone was very firm when answering this question.

Without any hesitation.

This time, it is truly a battle with a Saint. The Amakusa-style Cross Rite sect needs to use all of their strength and deploy their true trump card, which they have been developing for many years to catch up with their female Pope.

"Alright."

"Although it's not necessary, I still can't let your kind intentions go to waste."

Haramura Sei narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.

"When they arrive, arrange for them to stay here."

"If there aren't enough rooms, they'll have to sleep on the floor or set up tents."

He really didn't take Fiamma of the Right into consideration.

But after all, it was the kind intention of the entire Amakusa-style Cross Rite sect, and it would be too cruel to waste such intentions. Moreover, he also had a high degree of goodwill towards this sect through Itsuwa.

He was still willing to give this sect a chance.

"This is already very good, we are not picky about where we stay."

"However, if we can stay here with you, we can prepare more thoroughly."

Itsuwa was obviously very excited because of Haramura Sei's words.

The trump card they prepared against the Saint needed to have many things arranged in advance. Being able to prepare directly at the initial battlefield was undoubtedly the best.

As for sleeping in tents?

"Um, would you like something to drink?"

"Don't look at me like this, I'm actually quite good at cooking."

For the Amakusa-style Cross Rite sect, who take the four seas as their home, it's not even a problem, okay!

In her excitement, Itsuwa's gaze fell on the bar in the same space as the living room.

Her hands were already a little eager to try.

"Is that so, please make me a cup of coffee."

Haramura Sei blinked his eyes, looking at Itsuwa, who was already acting like a virtuous wife and good mother, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Frankly speaking, there aren't many girls like this anymore.

Even if he already has so many confidantes around him.

But the only ones similar to Itsuwa are Liliana, Kiyuuin Ena, and Toudou-sensei, right?
