I Am Honkai

Chapter 62: Taste



In the Seventh Mist clothing mall.

Looking at the girl beside the mirror, holding a pink pajama against herself, with a faint blush on her face, Selene smiled mischievously and turned to make a gesture of silence toward Sebastian.

With a helpless look from Sebastian, Selene quietly sneaked up and suddenly slapped Mikoto Misaka heavily on the shoulder, loudly saying, "Misaka-san?!"

"Ah? Ah!!" The girl, startled by the voice, turned around quickly, her face flushed, and the pink pajamas in her hand still not put down.

"You... why are you here!" Looking at Selene and her private butler behind her, Mikoto Misaka's face turned crimson, and she hurriedly hid the pajamas behind her, stammering.

"Why can't I be here?" Selene said with a delighted smile, "Oh my, oh my, what style of pajamas is Misaka-san buying? Let me see."

Every step Selene took forward made Mikoto Misaka take a step back, and with her flushed cheeks, it seemed as if Selene was teasing a "good girl."

Just as Selene wanted to continue teasing the "good girl," a male voice came, not Sebastian's, but somewhat familiar.

"What are you doing, Selene-sama and crackle."

Seeing the unlucky Kamijou Touma, Selene remained calm, smoothing her clothes, while Mikoto Misaka turned into "Steam Princess" from embarrassment.

"Why... why are you here too?"

"Can't I be here?" Kamijou Touma, with his hands on his hips, looked around suspiciously, "Uh... it does seem a bit strange for me to be here alone."

"Oh my, oh my, isn't this Unlucky Kamijou? You wouldn't be here to..." Selene wouldn't be at a loss like Misaka, giving a strange look at Kamijou Touma and then at the lingerie shop, her gaze moving back and forth.

"You don't have some special hobby, do you?"

"What do you mean by Unlucky Kamijou? My name is Kamijou Touma." Hearing this, Kamijou Touma's face darkened a bit, pointing to the little girl behind him.

"I heard this child say she wanted to find a dress shop, and I just brought her here."

"Ah haha... hey, do you have a sister?" Seeing Selene teasing Kamijou Touma again, Mikoto Misaka hurriedly laughed it off, pretending to be cheerful, and when she saw the little girl beside Kamijou, she was stunned.

"Ah! It's the big sister from Tokiwadai!" The little girl exclaimed excitedly when she saw Mikoto Misaka.

"You're... the little girl who lost her bag yesterday?" Mikoto Misaka also smiled at the adorable little girl, "What are you planning to do here?"

"Uh, I wanted to come here myself. My brother brought me because I also wanted to dress like the people on TV."

Gently rubbing the little girl's head, Mikoto Misaka said softly, "I see, but you look pretty cute in this outfit too."

"Yes, she's indeed cute, unlike someone who wears safety pants." Looking at Selene, Kamijou Touma nodded, then glanced at Mikoto Misaka and turned his head with a hint of disdain.

Unlike Mikoto Misaka, Selene didn't wear safety pants. Her past life influence made her uncomfortable with skirts, always feeling a draft underneath. So, the clever Selene came up with an idea: why not wear tights like before? That way, it's just like wearing long pants, and it also solves the problem of exposed skin.

Such a perfect solution made Selene give herself a thumbs-up.

"What do you mean by that, do you want to fight?" Seeing such obvious preferential treatment, Mikoto Misaka suddenly flew into a rage.

"Ah?! Is fighting the only thing on your mind? Can't you learn from your classmates? Both are Tokiwadai ladies, why is there such a gap?" Saying this, Kamijou Touma glanced at Mikoto Misaka's chest and sighed deeply.

"You, you, what do you mean!" Instantly, sparks flew from Mikoto Misaka's forehead, and it looked like she was about to "explode."

"Hey, hey! Are you planning to fight in such a crowded place?" Kamijou Touma said helplessly seeing the situation.

"Big brother, I want to go over there." Seeing the situation developing in the wrong direction, and just having the excuse that the little girl wanted him to take her elsewhere, Kamijou Touma decided to slip away.

"Goodbye, two big sisters from Tokiwadai."

After waving goodbye to the cute little girl, Selene asked, "When did you help that little girl?"

"Oh, it was yesterday, specifically..." Mikoto Misaka replied.

"So, you worked as a volunteer for Judgment for a whole day?" After understanding the situation, Selene looked at Mikoto Misaka suspiciously, "Did you think the work of Judgment was thrilling and specially went to experience it for a day?"

"Don't talk about it! How could I know Judgment handled such trivial matters!!" Mikoto Misaka blushed and shouted, "And! Why did he only talk about me! Does he have a problem with me?!"

"I refuse to accept this!"

"Maybe it's because you're, uh, flat..."

"Flat, flat..." Selene's words were a heavy blow to Mikoto Misaka. She glanced at her own chest, then at Selene's, and then squatted on the ground, exuding a feeling of depression. It was obvious that Mikoto Misaka was in a slump.

When Uiharu Kazari and Saten Ruiko arrived, they couldn't help but chuckle at the scene they saw.

"Selene-senpai, you're here too? And..." Saten Ruiko said, trying to suppress a smile, "Misaka-senpai, what's with you?"

"I invited Selene-senpai. Huh? Misaka-senpai?" Uiharu Kazari was stunned, seeing Misaka crouched on the ground in self-defeat.

"Thanks to a certain black silk fat woman." Hearing the commotion, Mikoto Misaka sighed, giving the two a glance.

"Geez, you're the one with no taste wearing safety pants!" Upon hearing this, Selene was not pleased.

"What do you mean by no taste? Aren't safety pants practical for sports and keeping warm?"

"Don't I have those qualities? And using special materials makes it more comfortable and sturdy? Plus, no worries about exposure?"

"Wow! Is this the world of ladies?"

Uiharu Kazari, who had been a little embarrassed, suddenly took out her notebook after hearing Selene and Misaka's conversation, muttering, "Ladies' etiquette: the dressing guide. One, becoming a..."

"Uiharu? Uiharu?!" Seeing Uiharu Kazari caught in a trance, Saten Ruiko immediately decided to wake her close friend.

Then, Saten Ruiko mischievously lifted Uiharu Kazari's skirt, "Uiharu~, ah! This time it's a blue cartoon bear pattern, how cute."

Undoubtedly, Uiharu Kazari snapped back, throwing a flurry of small punches at Ruiko's chest.

"Ah!!! Saten-san, what are you doing..."

At this moment, in a distant corner, a young man wearing headphones was staring darkly at the badge on Uiharu Kazari's arm.
