Illimitable Until Death

Chapter 1099: IUD-Chapter 1094 Really Hoping She Can Get Married

“Mom?!”

Hearing that cry, Fang Li, who had been walking ahead, stopped once again.

As if troubled, he muttered under his breath:

“What a cursed coincidence…”

It had always been like this.

Ever since, he would run into the Tokiwadai’s Electric Princess at the most unnecessary times, which led to months of chasing each other around.

Could it be… this really was some kind of ill-fated connection?

While Fang Li was feeling a headache coming on, beside him, Misaka Misuzu instead lit up with excitement.

She waved energetically at the stunned Misaka Mikoto standing in the distance.

“Mikoto! Over here, over here!”

Seeing her mother standing there, waving energetically like a young girl, while Fang Li beside her didn’t even glance over and only rubbed his forehead as if in pain, Misaka Mikoto suddenly felt a surge of irritation.

“Why…”

At that moment, unable to hold it in any longer, Misaka Mikoto shouted at Fang Li:

“Why are you chatting and laughing together with my mom?!”

Her loud shout echoed all around, instantly drawing the attention of the surrounding passersby, whose faces were filled with confusion and surprise.

“I say, Mikoto-chan, that’s very rude,” Misaka Misuzu scolded.

“Shouting like that in the street will cause trouble for others.”

“Ugh…” Misaka Mikoto finally came back to her senses.

Seeing the puzzled and surprised looks of the people around her, she lowered her head, her face turning red.

Meanwhile, Shirai Kuroko only snapped back to reality at this point.

“M-Mom?” Shirai Kuroko looked at Misaka Misuzu, her youthful and charming face filled with shock.

After a moment of hesitation, she still said in astonishment, “Th-this young lady… is Onee-sama’s mother?”

You couldn’t blame Shirai Kuroko for reacting like that.

Misaka Misuzu looked like a woman in her twenties, in the prime of her youth, she didn’t look like someone who had a teenage daughter at all.

If her appearance truly reflected her real age, then just how old was she when she got married?

And how old was she when she got pregnant?

Thinking that, anyone would probably feel the urge to “eliminate” Misaka Mikoto’s father on humanitarian grounds.

As for Misaka Misuzu, it seemed she had seen reactions like this many times before.

She simply smiled, unconcerned.

“Um…” Tilting her head, Misaka Misuzu curiously asked Shirai Kuroko, “Are you a friend of my Mikoto?”

Faced with Misaka Misuzu tilting her head and asking in such an innocent manner, Shirai Kuroko lowered her head.

However, it was only for a moment.

One second later, Shirai Kuroko raised her head again, now wearing an unprecedentedly bright and cute smile.

“Please allow me to introduce myself, madam!”

With a whoosh, Shirai Kuroko appeared right in front of Misaka Misuzu.

Ignoring the fact that she startled her, she reached out and tightly grabbed the woman’s hand.

“My name is Shirai Kuroko. My relationship with your beloved daughter is not merely that of friends, we have already pledged our lives to each other, so I sincerely ask that you…”

Before Shirai Kuroko could continue her long-winded declaration, a hand chop came down.

Smack!

“Guh…?!”

The powerful blow exploded against Shirai Kuroko’s head, making her clutch it and crouch down.

“Are you an idiot?!” Misaka Mikoto shouted, looking utterly offended.

“Don’t say such weird things to my mom!”

Under Misaka Mikoto’s scolding, Misaka Misuzu, who had momentarily frozen, forced a stiff smile onto her face.

“Um, Mikoto…” Misaka Misuzu said with a slightly troubled expression, “Although your mother is very open-minded, and I’ll accept whoever Mikoto-chan likes… if possible, I still hope you can marry as a normal girl…”

“Th-that’s obvious, isn’t it?!

Idiot!” Misaka Mikoto was instantly provoked, her voice rising again as she shouted, “I also really want to get married!”

At that very moment, the entire scene fell silent.

The surrounding pedestrians all turned their strange gazes toward Misaka Mikoto.

Then, sympathy and pity began to appear in their eyes.

It was as if they were looking at a child heading down the wrong path, or a girl with no prospects, desperately trying to get married.

“N-no… that’s not what I meant…”

Only then did Misaka Mikoto realize just how embarrassing what she had said was.

Her face turned completely red like a volcanic eruption, and she waved her hands frantically, trying to explain, yet not knowing how.

“Onee-sama…” murmured Shirai Kuroko.

“Mikoto-chan…” added Misaka Misuzu.

Both of them looked at Misaka Mikoto with sympathy, at a loss for words.

In the end, only Fang Li reacted as if he had just watched an entertaining comedy.

Narrowing his eyes slightly, he spoke with a smile:

“Don’t worry, you’re only fourteen. If you’re in such a hurry to get married, just wait a few more years and it’ll be fine. Until then, try to be patient.”

That remark became the final straw.

“Ha… hahaha…”

Misaka Mikoto let out an abnormal laugh, as if something inside her had snapped.

*Biri-biri…*

A sharp crackling sound of electricity burst forth as intense lightning currents erupted from her body.

“W-wait! Onee-sama?!”

“Mikoto-chan…?!”

Both Shirai Kuroko and Misaka Misuzu sensed the danger, their expressions changing drastically.

As for Fang Li, he calmly stepped several paces back.

Then came the judgment.

“Just all of you, go die!”

Along with Misaka Mikoto’s shout, thunder-like bolts of electricity exploded across the area.

In an instant, the surrounding onlookers who had been watching the spectacle were all shocked to the ground.

Passing security robots and cleaning robots malfunctioned, emitting black smoke as they turned into scrap.

…

Ten minutes later, the group finally calmed down and sat inside a café.

“Ugh…”

Misaka Mikoto looked completely drained, as if burned out.

Holding a drink, she absentmindedly sipped through a straw, appearing utterly dejected.

Beside her, a charred Shirai Kuroko lay slumped over.

Fang Li, on the other hand, sat unharmed across from them, leisurely drinking his own beverage as if none of it concerned him.

“Ara, ara…”

For some reason, Misaka Misuzu, who had also escaped unharmed, laughed awkwardly.

“Looks like I went a bit too far.”

At that moment, both Fang Li and Shirai Kuroko came to the same conclusion:

This unbelievably youthful mother definitely enjoyed teasing her daughter on a regular basis.

Life must be quite difficult for Misaka Mikoto.

Having calmed down, Misaka Mikoto suddenly slammed her drink onto the table and glared at Fang Li and Misaka Misuzu, who were sitting side by side across from her.

“Seriously, how did you two end up together anyway?!”

After going in a full circle, the topic had returned to the original question.

Which made the earlier chaos feel completely inexplicable.
