“Um…
so are there really no buildings around here that count as landmarks?” A somewhat familiar voice rang out, catching Mikoto Misaka’s attention.
When she looked over, she saw a spiky-haired boy asking a grown woman for directions.
“Landmarks, huh?
Well, there’s a crosswalk right in front of us.
Something like that,” the woman replied in a lazy voice.
“A crosswalk doesn’t count as a landmark at all.” The spiky-haired boy rubbed the back of his head with a troubled look.
He seemed to have a headache over the whole situation.
After all, he still had the important mission of buying discount eggs.
“Do you need help?” Faced with that scene, Uiharu Kazari stepped forward as a member of Judgment.
“Ah, that’s a huge help.
I’ll leave it to you then, Miss Judgment.” Touma Kamijou let out a sigh of relief.
He gave everyone a quick explanation, then ran off toward the supermarket.
Mikoto Misaka stared at Touma Kamijou’s back for a while.
Then a thought hit her.
“Ah!
It’s that guy.” “What!?
Does Onee-sama know that ape!?” Kuroko Shirai pulled out a handkerchief from nowhere and started biting it with teary eyes.
That left Mikoto Misaka flustered, and she hurried to explain.
“It’s not like that!
He tried to help me before, even though he didn’t really manage to help.
He’s just the kind of person who sticks his nose into everything.” “Whew~ That’s good.
Otherwise, if you add him on top of that old bastard, Kuroko’s love rivals would be too…
sob, sob, sob…” Kuroko Shirai let out a long breath of relief, still sounding shaken.
Mikoto Misaka’s face went red, and she quickly covered Kuroko’s mouth.
“Kuroko!
Stop talking nonsense!?” “Ahaha~” Ruiko Saten could only laugh helplessly as the two of them started fooling around again.
“So, are there any landmark buildings near where you parked your car?” Uiharu Kazari asked.
Hearing that, the other three froze for a second.
Then the same thought appeared in all their minds.
‘She’s an airhead.’ ‘She really is an airhead.’ ‘No doubt about it.’ “Hmm~ There’s a crosswalk in front of where I parked,” the woman answered in the same lazy tone as before.
“Eh!?” Uiharu Kazari suddenly realized she had just heard almost the exact same answer a moment ago.
Once she understood what she had done, she turned to look at the other three.
The trio were all holding their breath, their faces red as they covered their mouths to keep from laughing.
Uiharu Kazari’s face immediately turned red as well.
“Don’t laugh, Saten!” “Eh?
Why am I the only one getting blamed!?” Ruiko Saten wasn’t convinced at all.
She started messing around with Uiharu, puffed out her cheeks, and grabbed the hem of Uiharu’s skirt as if she were about to lift it.
That made Uiharu panic and blush at the same time.
“Ah!?” The first person Uiharu noticed was Tsukasa, who was passing by while eating a candied apple.
She quickly shoved Ruiko Saten away and pressed down her skirt.
Still blushing, she nodded at Tsukasa in greeting.
“Hello, Tsukasa.” “Old man, you really are free all day,” Mikoto Misaka said with her arms crossed.
She felt like every time she ran into Tsukasa, he was just wandering around the streets.
“Ohohoho~ I take it Tsukasa doesn’t have a job?
If you want, a company under my family can hire you.” Kuroko Shirai put on the air of a rich young lady.
Her plan was written all over her face.
Tsukasa didn’t bother responding.
He didn’t even look at Kuroko Shirai.
Instead, he looked past everyone and let out a soft whistle.
For some reason, all four girls thought the whistle sounded a little too casual.
They looked at each other, then turned around together.
What they saw left them stunned.
At some point, the grown woman had taken off her white shirt and draped it over her arm.
She was standing there in broad daylight in nothing but her brown underwear.
“It’s so hot~” The woman muttered in a low voice as she wiped the sweat from her forehead with her arm.
Her calm attitude left the four girls frozen in place.
“The…
the Stripping Woman!?” Ruiko Saten’s eyes lit up as she realized what was happening, and she shouted on the spot.
That shout immediately drew the attention of the people around them.
The moment Mikoto Misaka realized that, she shouted at once.
“Formation B!” The other three reacted right away.
Together with Mikoto, they formed a human wall around the woman so passersby couldn’t see inside.
“Judgment is handling a case!
Everyone not involved, please leave at once!” Kuroko Shirai shouted.
The pedestrians quickly backed off, leaving only Tsukasa standing there as he popped the last bite of the candied apple into his mouth.
“Old man, turn around right now!” Mikoto Misaka noticed Tsukasa still looking over there and puffed out her cheeks at him.
“Yes, yes~” Tsukasa waved a hand and turned around.
“Quick, put your clothes back on!” Uiharu Kazari said in a flustered voice.
Just from her tone alone, anyone could tell how embarrassed she was.
“Eh?
But with a body as flat as mine, nobody should care,” the woman said as if it didn’t matter.
“People’s tastes can get really weird!
Anyway, put your clothes on first!?” Kuroko Shirai shouted.
“The urban legends really were true!?” Ruiko Saten’s voice rang out from the side, full of delight.
“You’re focusing on that!?” Mikoto Misaka shot back, completely speechless.
In the end, after all four girls worked together, they managed to get the woman’s shirt back on.
At a stone table by the roadside, the woman rested her chin on one hand and asked with a straight face, “So why is a swimsuit fine, but underwear isn’t?” “Yeah, why is that?” Ruiko Saten jumped in right away, making things even worse.
“Saten!
You idiot!?” Uiharu Kazari grabbed Ruiko Saten, who was sticking out her tongue with a playful look.
“In any case, if you keep refusing to cooperate, I’ll have to arrest you for disturbing public order!?” Kuroko Shirai said, glaring at the woman.
“Yes, I understand.” The woman stopped arguing and nodded.
After a brief introduction, they learned that this woman, known as the “Stripping Woman,” was named Harumi Kiyama.
She was a brain physiology expert and a researcher who specialized in AIM diffusion fields.
