Lost Narrative Poetry

"Then I really have to thank you for your appreciation..."

Kanzaki Kaori was so angry that he started to speak indiscriminately. Is this guy really embarrassed to say that this is how he makes friends?

"It seems like you must have many friends and be very happy!"

"Thank you, I hope you can understand." Xia Ran smiled at the girl, showing an unusually sunny smile, "You can actually think of this, I have a hunch that we will definitely become very good friends and have a tacit understanding. friend……"

"No! Don't even think about it!"

The capable girl with the temperament of a royal sister denied it almost as a conditioned reflex, with an undisguised resistance on her face. Just thinking about this kind of thing made her feel completely unacceptable, okay, with this nasty guy. Become friends, have a tacit understanding and so on...

Are you kidding me? !

If these were the harsh words the other party said to deliberately disgust him, then it can only be said that he succeeded. Kanzaki Kaori felt that he could not accept this statement at all.

"..."

"..."

"oh?"

The magician's expression changed slightly, and his eyes suddenly changed from gentle to extremely oppressive, making everyone around him feel a heavy pressure invisibly.

"You don't want to be friends with me, and you look down on me, is that what you mean?" His voice was low, and his eyes were staring at Kanzaki Kaori. There was no special action or performance, nor was there any concentration and dissemination of power or accumulation of magic power. potential behavior.

But it just made Steele feel like he was suffocated. This fourteen-year-old delinquent priest with a fiery personality had just wanted to say something, but now his mind went blank and he couldn't say anything, and he couldn't. think.

Kanzaki Kaori was not much better either. The terrifying pressure, as if even her thoughts were stagnant and frozen, made every cell in her body tremble. Her instinct told her that she was absolutely unable to compete and was far superior to humans. great violence above.

This is simply the most direct threat!

Words like "I just want to be friends with you, nothing else" are clearly lies. If she really believed it, it would be funny...

However, now the situation is simply stronger than the person, and it doesn't matter if she doesn't believe it.

Because this person's meaning is too clear, that is - you must make friends with me, otherwise you will look down on me, and I will get angry...

Kanzaki Kaori is not willing to compromise. If she is alone, then no matter how scared and trembling she is, she can force herself to muster the courage to face such a threat head-on. After all, there are less than twenty "saints" in the world, and the top ten magicians in London——

This honor is not just an empty title, and this qualification cannot be obtained by sitting at home.

It was not the first time that she encountered the seemingly unparalleled threat and oppression. She had tried it many times before, and it was not necessarily "people versus people", sometimes it was "people versus the beast king" , or even "people versus weapons."

However, she is not alone now...

After comparing the unpredictable psychic powers that the other party had just displayed, the female "saint" even found out that she was frustrated that even now, she could not confirm whether everything in front of her was completely real.

Maybe the other party is still using illusion to talk to her remotely, and the real body is somewhere else, or maybe the misplaced and distorted illusion makes the person in front of her actually still Steele. If she takes action brazenly, there may not be anything at all. effect, or may only have the opposite effect.

And there is Index. If both of them were here, Index would be in danger. This dangerous person would have discovered her traces long ago...

The thoughts in his mind were spinning rapidly, and he didn't know how many factors were weighed in an instant. Kanzaki Kaori tried to take deep breaths for countless times, and managed to squeeze out a smile: "No, I just said ...just...just joking..."

She was probably someone who really couldn't lie, so the element of reluctance was very obvious. The girl's face was filled with a look of unwilling grievance, and even such a simple sentence was awkward when she said it.

"Ah, it turned out to be a joke, I just said..." Xia Ran didn't care, because what he wanted was this superficial form, so he suddenly started to smile, "Then we are friends now, come on. Come on, exchange your mobile phone numbers, QQ, WeChat, etc..."

He took out his cell phone, raised it, and said this to Kanzaki Kaori, who was a little dazed.

Is this necessary? Of course it is necessary, but it is not because of the need to do a full set for the show, it is simply because Xia Ran feels that he needs to establish his own "persona", whether in front of these two magicians or in front of Misaka Mikoto and others.

Also, in Aleister's "sight".

Whether it's using smoke bombs or finding a suitable reason for his behavioral logic, he just wants to establish a distinct personality characteristic, that is, he is the kind of guy who will take actions purely for fun...

He sounds like a very troublesome person, but he is troublesome now to avoid trouble in the future. Firstly, it makes it easier for him to appear reasonable when he is causing trouble for others. Secondly, it also allows others to think twice before making trouble for him.

For example, Aleister might still want to take advantage of him, but he also has to consider whether such an unscrupulous guy who only acts based on his own mood can be controlled. If he is unhappy, he might just expose him. Turn over the chessboard.

Therefore, we can only carefully make Xia Ran interested in certain things, but there is no way to do anything in other aspects. It is said to be used, but in fact it is tantamount to cooperating with each other...

This is what the magician thinks. He plans to start from Aleister's territory and naturally become a player on this chessboard... If he can't succeed, then he will switch to London, in the magical world. Just start your business.

Anyway, he is a professional counterpart and can take advantage of both sides, and now he has successfully expanded his connections on the magic side through Kanzaki Kaori and Steele.

Well, everything is going well, which is gratifying.

"..."

"..."

As for Kanzaki Kaori and Steele, who had successfully become friends with Xia Ran, their hands were shaking and they almost didn't hold their phones tightly when they took out their phones. They successfully exchanged contact information, but at the same time they were also disturbed by this abominable person. The guy is so disgusting.

"I don't know what QQ and WeChat you are talking about. I usually only make phone calls..." Seeing the other party's eyes, Kanzaki Kaori suppressed her anger and resentment and explained seriously that she didn't mean to just give Mobile phone number, but only mobile phone number.

As a typical mechanical idiot, being able to use a mobile phone is already a sign of her hard work, okay!

"That's it, then I'll just believe you." Xia Ran looked at her thoughtfully, then laughed heartily, turned over his hand and put away the mobile phone he just bought. At the same time, it seemed as if Like some kind of signal——

The advertising screens of various high-rise buildings in the distance and the TV sets of surrounding residents were once again accompanied by white snow specks and a brief sizzling sound, and then returned to normal. The distorted radio waves and the inserted content disappeared and were replaced again. It has become the original normal program or advertising content.

This makes many pedestrians and those who stay at home watching TV and computers, preparing to spend a happy summer vacation at home, feel very confused.

What happened just now? Is there a problem with signal transmission? But there doesn’t seem to be a strange show like the one just now in Academy City. Is it some kind of funny drama that was just launched recently? However, there are no subtitles or text descriptions, so I don’t even know what the show is.

Regarding this situation, Misaka Mikoto, who had just been watching the drama in front of her, looked at the figure of the magician in front of her, and her eyes suddenly became completely wrong. .

Isn't it said that he is a person with spiritual abilities?

So what happened just now? Why can this person leverage the electromagnetic force so lightly, take one of the basic forces into his hands casually and easily, and manipulate it with his arms and fingers, like a sharp scalpel in the hands of a top surgeon? Dancing like that.

She can't even play around like this...

What exactly is going on? The brown-haired girl felt that her mind was getting more and more confusing. She received too much information in a short period of time, which she couldn't handle for a while, and she couldn't sort it out with her own understanding and knowledge reserves. , give a reasonable explanation that can convince you.

"Okay, we are already friends. In this way, let's just forget about the past. The past is in the past. I don't want to argue with you anymore..."

Xia Ran laughed heartily, feeling very happy that she had made a new friend again. She stretched out her hand and patted Kanzaki Kaori's shoulder.

The latter had to hold back to not show a look of disgust, nor did he avoid it subconsciously, but his body was indeed trembling slightly, as if he was trying to suppress something. He must have been too happy, just out of girlishness. Maybe that’s why I didn’t show my reserve.

"Thank you so much for not caring about it anymore. Let's just forget about the past..." The words seemed to be squeezed out from between the teeth, and Kanzaki Kaori felt extremely tired.

But so be it, this result is barely good. At least it can temporarily resolve a potentially very tragic conflict in this way without ending in blood. Although it is ridiculous and funny, at least it is the concept she has always adhered to, isn't it? ?

The girl tried her best to convince herself, but couldn't help but look at a square in the distance. The huge advertising screen of the building returned to normal playback content, and she felt a little psychological comfort.

At the same time, she also remembered something and felt that she should take this opportunity to fight for it. After all, what problem did the two of them come to solve today? She has not forgotten this.

"Um, um, we... we are friends, right..." Kaori Kanzaki clenched her fists tightly, and with great difficulty, she managed to say such opening remarks, and an unnatural blush appeared on her cheeks. , I don’t know if it’s because of anger or shame.

Just forget it if you can't beat it...

Forget it if you compromise...

These are all things that can't be helped, but now she has to swallow her anger and take the initiative to use the other person's bad taste to establish friendship. If she wants to use this to negotiate, it will really make her angry and ashamed. This is definitely a life experience. Big stain!

"Yes, we are friends now. What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Xia Ran nodded with interest, looked at the stuttering look of this young "saint", raised the digital camera in her hand, and took another photo with a click.

Nice CG, I bought another one.

"..."

"..."

The corners of Kanzaki Kaori's mouth twitched slightly, but he still tried to warn himself that this was not the first one. There was no need to worry about it with him now. It was better to focus on solving Index's matter first. This was the most important thing. of.

She tried to stay calm and carefully considered her words: "That's it, about Index...well, you should also know Index. We came here because of her matter."

Misaka Mikoto's eyes narrowed slightly while she was thinking wildly. She quietly pricked up her ears. This seemed to be a good opportunity to collect information about this person.

Even the black-haired girl next to her was curious and focused, maybe out of some girl's nature.

"Yes, I know her..."

The magician nodded, but the answer was that he knew Index, not that he knew her in the first place.

This made Stil, who had been silent all this time, a little excited. After all, this person was not Index's friend. He went against himself and others to protect her. Instead, he knew Index's identity and coveted her value. Here comes the jackal!

But before he had time to say or do anything, he was stopped by Kanzaki Kaori's eyes.

"In this case, I will tell you directly. We will... have some things to deal with with her later. Can you please stay out of this matter?" The girl took a deep breath and said this very seriously, while staring at the magician closely. eyes.

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Xia Ran tilted her head in surprise.

"..."

"..."

"No...we, aren't we friends?"

Kanzaki Kaori had mixed feelings in her heart, but she still tried hard to suppress some manic impulses and forced herself to say such words——

"I am... I am caring about you. After all, we are all friends. If you are caught between her and us, it may... be very difficult..."

"Is that so... it seems to make sense." The magician blinked and asked in a natural tone. "But since we are friends, I still want to ask with concern, what exactly are you planning to do to Index?"

"We...we have to erase her memory. We don't have time."

The girl replied extremely tiredly, with a tone that sounded like she was mentally and physically exhausted.

"What?!"×2

The ones who spoke in shock were Misaka Mikoto and Saten Ruiko.

Without looking at the two of them, Kanzaki Kaori stared at Xia Ran, bit her lip and said: "You know Index, you should also know what's special about her. If I don't do this, she won't be able to continue living. … She’s going to die.”
