A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 450 Sha Danshan's Gamble
Jiezai Xuezi found Misaka Mikoto in front of the "Casino", an amusement hall in the school garden.

Because they were stopped by the teacher on the way, they were delayed for a while, so when Jie Zhai Xue Zi arrived, the "gambling game" was over.

Of course, what Misaka Mikoto and Sadamoto called "gambling" were actually "experiences"—like other arcades in Academy City, while they offered various activities directly related to the gambling industry, they didn't actually engage in gambling. Instead, they were offered to students as "social experiences" or "math extracurricular activities."

However, since it is essentially gambling, it is difficult to avoid people actually using these games to gamble on something.

And not long ago, the game that Sadamo and Misaka Mikoto were playing had indeed placed a high stakes on it...

More than ten minutes ago, after coming out of the infirmary, Sha Danshan went straight to the first-grade classroom to find Misaka Mikoto.

Then he directly invited Misaka Mikoto.

"I've received intelligence that Misaka-san hasn't actually joined the Shokuhou faction, and the reason you're working with them is because there's something that requires your cooperation." Shadanshan gave her reason. "According to the intelligence I have, that incident has been resolved—so there's no need for Misaka-san to continue to be tied to the Shokuhou faction. In that case..."

As a free man who has not joined any faction, of course I can accept the invitation of any faction.

Misaka Mikoto was caught off guard by the direct invitation of her senior, and subconsciously rubbed a game coin in her hand - this was the shell of her "A Certain Scientific Railgun". In order to familiarize herself with the feel and properties of the shell, she often took out a coin and rubbed it in her hand recently.

Now it has become a subconscious little action.

Because Sadafusa made the invitation in public at the classroom door, Misaka Mikoto was also having a headache about how to refuse appropriately.

Just as she was organizing her words in her mind, Sha Danshan suddenly looked apologetic.

"Ah, I was inconsiderate," Shadanshan said, bowing and apologizing hastily, as if she had just realized her surroundings. "I should have made this invitation in a more formal and private setting. Please don't mind, Misaka-san. I don't mean to use my status as a senior to force you into making a decision. I'm sincerely inviting you, and I hope you'll consider it carefully."

"Huh?" Misaka Mikoto felt a little out of place. "I'm glad you understand, Senior. I really don't..."

"Wait!" Shadanshan held out the panda doll again to stop Misaka Mikoto from speaking, "Let's go somewhere else and have a good chat, Misaka-san!"

——You are really persistent. Is this the kind of personality that senior Shadanshan has?
Misaka Mikoto complained in her heart, but the other party was her senior and the leader of a faction, and she had no ill intentions at all, so she had no reason to refuse the other party's active invitation.

There were members of the Sap Faction in the class, and their envious and eager eyes made Misaka Mikoto feel uneasy - she felt that if she refused the invitation, it would be these classmates who would be the most sorry...

In desperation, Misaka Mikoto had to accept the invitation and asked her classmates to ask for leave for her before she walked out of the teaching building with Sadayama.

While walking on the road, Sha Danshan kept staring at the coin in Misaka Mikoto's hand.

Noticing her gaze, Misaka Mikoto quickly explained, "This is the tool I'll use when I activate my ability, so I'm getting familiar with it."

"Yeah," Shadanshan nodded, "So, Misaka-san likes playing games, right?"

"Uh... I don't hate it."

"How about this, let's decide the winner through a game!" Sha Danshan clapped his hands and said, as if he had come up with a good idea.

"Win or lose?" The competitive Misaka Mikoto caught the key word, "But it seems that there is no reason for us to fight?"

"Yes, if Misaka loses, how about joining my faction?"

"Gambling is prohibited in all aspects!" Suddenly, a third person's voice came from behind.

Turning back, I saw the person speaking was a strangely beautiful girl who wore her Tokiwadai Junior High School uniform with a bad-girl vibe. Her naturally dark skin and thick eyelashes gave her the "dark-skinned hottie" vibe without even needing to wear makeup.

The light-colored hair was tied into two small buns on the top of the head, decorated with shiny patches, which at first glance looked like the two eyes of a frog...

"Quatai!" Misaka Mikoto's eyes lit up and she called out subconsciously.

Then he came to his senses and said, "Sorry, I'm so rude! Liuli-senpai!"

Shin-en-koji Ruri-kyuu-chao is a third-year student at Tokiwadai Junior High School and a free man who has not joined any faction.

Although she dresses in an unrefined "bad girl" style, she is currently the only discipline committee member of Tokiwadai Junior High School.

She is also Misaka Mikoto's close friend and the senior whom she respects the most.

Maybe he heard that Misaka Mikoto was "picked on by her senior", so he rushed over to rescue her?
Although Senior Liuli immediately knew that the rumor was false after seeing the actual situation, she also happened to hear the topic about "gambling".

As a discipline committee member, I cannot tolerate such things happening.

"Good morning, Senior Liuli." Sha Danshan said with a smile, "I was just joking just now, please don't take it seriously."

"Oh? Are you kidding?"

"Yeah, after all, it's impossible for Misaka-san to join my faction just because of the outcome of a game, right?" said Shadanshan.

"Of course not!" Misaka Mikoto complained.

"However, since we are already here, why not have a game?" Sha Danshan turned sideways and raised his hand as an invitation.

At this moment, a group of three people had actually arrived at the gate of the amusement hall.

"Hey, you really did have this planned, didn't you?" Senior Liuli looked over with a stern face.

"Haha, don't take it too seriously. I just wanted to invite Misaka-san to play a game to bring us closer." Shadanshan explained.

Since they were already there, and with Sadayama's cordial invitation, Misaka Mikoto and Kamienkoji Rurixuanchao looked at each other and walked in together.

"It's just a regular blackjack game," Sha Danshan said, coming to the gambling table and pulling out four brand new boxes of playing cards. "It just so happens that none of us have clairvoyant abilities, so it won't affect the fairness of the game. Let Senior Liuli deal the cards."

Completely dominated by Sadaman, Misaka Mikoto was pressed into a seat beside the gambling table.

"By the way," Sha Danshan said, looking very excited, "Even though you don't have to join my faction, it's still better to put a little pressure on it to increase the tension, right?"

"Hey, this is against school rules." Senior Liuli warned.

"Don't worry, it's just symbolic," Shadanshan pointed at Misaka Mikoto's hand and said, "Just use Misaka-san's coin. I remember you have a lot of coins, right?"
