I Am Honkai

"The sender's name is revealed. What should we do?"

Hearing this, Misaka Mikoto's face darkened, "Kuroko! Why would you need an aphrodisiac for a little celebration... It seems like I'll need to use some serious methods to cure your perversion."

"Just like your name suggests, I'll burn you to a crisp!!!" Misaka Mikoto, overwhelmed by anger, completely forgot about the dormitory's rule prohibiting the use of abilities.

With a loud bang, the poor dorm room door was blown off its hinges.

"Ahahaha! Forgetting about my abilities will cause me a lot of trouble." Shirai Kuroko, already in a do-or-die mood, evaded the electric shock with her teleportation ability and retaliated. "If that's the case, let's see who's the predator and who's the prey. If you can't handle Kuroko's love, then just fight me, Kuroko!"

Hearing this, Selene suddenly thought that Shirai Kuroko might have a yandere potential.

"Fight? You better explain what's going on here." As the two were at a standoff in the hallway, a knowledgeable female voice suddenly appeared, making both of their hairs stand on end and cold sweat dripped down.

Hearing this familiar voice, Shirai Kuroko turned mechanically to see the dorm supervisor standing behind her, seething with anger, and she was instantly petrified.

"Explain to me what happened to your dorm room door. You should know, according to dormitory rule number nine, using abilities is strictly forbidden inside the dormitory. You wouldn't have forgotten, would you, Shirai?" The supervisor pushed up her black-framed glasses slightly, her eyes gleaming dangerously.

"Th-this is such a coincidence, Dorm Supervisor..." Turning around, Shirai Kuroko stood straight with fear, stammering, "We weren't using abilities for fun; there's a deep reason... This was just Kuroko and Onee-sama playing around..."

"Oh... Playing around? So that's your excuse for violating the rule about using abilities... Then... are you ready to face the consequences?" The supervisor, seeing through Shirai Kuroko's small tricks, didn't bother listening to her excuses, grabbed Shirai Kuroko's head, and twisted it!

Crack!

"Eh?!"

"Pfft?!"

A noticeable crack came from Shirai Kuroko's neck, causing the other two girls present, who hadn't seen this before, to cry out in shock.

I have to say, this scene was quite shocking, even making Selene involuntarily shiver.

Then, in front of everyone, the supervisor casually tossed Shirai Kuroko aside like she was throwing away garbage.

In Misaka Mikoto's horrified gaze, the supervisor slowly approached her, "If you try to clarify everything one by one, it undermines the authority of dormitory rules..."

"...Where there's a crime, there must be punishment! Don't you think so, Misaka?"

Misaka Mikoto, knowing the supervisor's temper well, naturally wouldn't try to explain like Shirai Kuroko did. Now, obediently admitting her mistake was key, so she stood up straight like a compliant middle school girl.

Because Misaka Mikoto made the right decision first, she wasn't treated the same as Shirai Kuroko.

"Y-yes!" Gone was her usual confidence; Misaka Mikoto trembled slightly, her voice trembling with a hint of tears, forcing a smile, and replied stiffly.

No wonder she was nearly thirty and still single, thought Selene, unable to help but think.

The supervisor's gaze then shifted to the three girls in the dormitory. Based on their uniforms, two were probably students from Sakugawa Middle School. The tall white-haired, red-eyed girl looked familiar; she should be from the School Garden dormitory. Was this a gathering of Misaka's friends?

"Hmm? You three over there look unfamiliar. You shouldn't be students residing in this dormitory, correct?" As a diligent supervisor, she was familiar with every student living in her dormitory.

Noticing the supervisor's attention on them, Selene was fine, but Uiharu Kazari and Saten Ruiko were scared out of their wits; Shirai Kuroko's 'corpse' was lying right there.

"Let me explain. We are..." Seeing the two trembling and unable to speak clearly, Selene sighed helplessly and stepped forward to explain.

"...That's the situation."

"Oh, well-reasoned. I understand..." The supervisor pushed the bridge of her glasses with a single finger, then turned to look at the prostrate Shirai Kuroko, "As expected, you're the root of the problem, Shirai. You sure know how to cause trouble."

The result was that Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko both accepted punishment from the supervisor—to clean the swimming pool.

Selene could guarantee that her explanation was unbiased and without exaggeration or evasion.

At noon, by the pool...

"Darn it! It's all your fault, Kuroko! Why are only the two of us punished? Even if Uiharu and Saten don't have to, shouldn't Selene, as a Tokiwadai student, share the responsibility?!"

"Hehehe... Onee-sama, I think it's wonderful..."

"Huh? What did you say?" Misaka Mikoto glared.

"Uh... Selene-senpai did help us by covering the dormitory damage fee."

"Che... I'd gladly pay ten times that to have Selene clean with me." Recalling Selene's provocative look during lunch, Misaka Mikoto clenched her fists in frustration.

"Darn it! I should have dragged her down with me!"

Misaka Mikoto's mood was definitely not good, while Shirai Kuroko's feelings were harder to determine. She was likely enjoying the time alone with her beloved.

What specifically happened at the pool afterward, Selene didn't know.

After leaving a note about dinner plans, Selene quickly left with Uiharu Kazari and Saten Ruiko.

Thus, as they complained, the two headed towards the pool they had to clean, taking off their shoes and socks, grabbing tools, and stepping inside.

"This pool is huge..." Stepping into the pool, Misaka Mikoto's eyes widened, nearly kneeling down if not for Shirai Kuroko's support.

"Onee-sama, are you alright?"

"This pool is ridiculously large." Misaka Mikoto was tearful, the pool's area surpassing even the one used for her ability tests!

Seeing this, Shirai Kuroko sighed lightly. While she enjoyed the undisturbed alone time with Onee-sama, the pool's size was excessive.

Hearing the noise, Misaka Mikoto glared at Shirai Kuroko, holding her head: "Kuroko, I say you... Sigh..."

"Uh... Onee-sama, let's hurry and finish cleaning this pool." Knowing that Onee-sama was about to scold her, Shirai Kuroko quickly put her bag down and jumped into the pool, efficiently starting to clean.

The cleaning lasted until the afternoon...

"Honestly, why am I doing this? Although I went too far, the punishment... Cleaning a pool this big!! It's unreasonable."

Misaka Mikoto sighed, resting on her brush: "Half a day has passed, and we're not even halfway done. Who knows if we can finish today."

"Thinking back, it feels unfair. I should have dragged Selene down! With her abilities, she could finish in no time."

"Onee-sama, Kuroko is quite capable too..." Hearing her beloved mention another woman during such a significant moment made Shirai Kuroko a bit jealous. Tears in her eyes, she lunged forward.

Misaka Mikoto instinctively dodged.

Bang!

"Kuroko, you..." Seeing Kuroko's pratfall, Misaka Mikoto sighed helplessly.

"Shirai-san!" Suddenly, a voice called out.

"Huh?" Shirai Kuroko got up, turned around, and saw two girls approaching.

"We heard a commotion next door and came to check. It really is Shirai-san, what are you doing here?"

"As you can see, cleaning the pool," Shirai Kuroko replied helplessly.

"But why?"

"Even in early summer, it's hard to escape the world's harshness... By the way, what are you doing here?" Shirai Kuroko approached them.

"We're members of the swim club..."

"Kuroko's classmates?" Misaka Mikoto glanced at their development, then at herself, sighing, "I'm already surpassed by those two; now even younger ones surpass me."

"Sigh..."
