Second update, continuing to write the third.

075 What's the reason for the late-night singing?

"Pat, pat."

However, shortly afterward, a strange sound of footsteps came, as if someone was deliberately making a sound by stepping on the steel floor so that others could hear it.

Exhausted, Misaka Mikoto heard the sound and instinctively looked in the direction of the sound. Her eyes widened suddenly, her body tensed, and she almost fell from the height.

She was already sitting on the edge, with her legs dangling and swinging in the air. Now, with such a sudden reaction, if it weren't for her excellent physical condition and the fact that she quickly braced herself with her hands, she might have become the first LV5 in history to fall to her death.

What exactly surprised Misaka Mikoto so much?

There's really only one possibility left: Momo.

Mo Mo walked across the bridge by stepping on the handrails without any protective gear. If she were not careful, she would fall into the water. In this respect, she was very similar to Misaka Mikoto.

Misaka Mikoto was overwhelmed with excitement upon seeing Momo's arrival and the dangerous things he was doing.

Misaka Mikoto instinctively wanted to warn Mo Mo that such an action was very dangerous. If she fell into the water, it would be a fall from a height of twenty meters, which would be enough to hurt an ordinary person.

Especially since Momo had only recently recovered...

However, as soon as such a thought arose, Misaka Mikoto covered her mouth and suppressed it.

What does all this have to do with her? Mo Mo has already rejected her, so why should she say anything more?

Misaka Mikoto bit her lip, her emotions gradually calming down, but she continued to feel cold, as if her body was getting colder.

However, although she no longer expressed concern for Mo Mo, her eyes still couldn't help but glance at Mo Mo to see what he was doing.

Why was he walking on the bridge's auxiliary hand, doing such a dangerous thing?

Why did Momo suddenly come here? And where is Best?

Having left Best, penniless and without any identification, what should he do next, or rather, how should he spend the night?

Questions arose in her mind, and Misaka Mikoto quietly and secretly watched Mo Mo as he approached and stopped directly below her.

For a moment, Misaka Mikoto thought she had been discovered. She held her breath, her face tense, and her brain was frantically trying to figure out how to deal with Mo Mo.

After all, it's really unseemly for a girl to be out on top of a bridge pillar in the middle of the night... no matter how you look at it!

However, Misaka Mikoto soon realized that she was just being presumptuous, because Momo hadn't noticed her at all. He was simply standing directly below her, admiring the view of the river.

"This is... right in the middle of the bridge. So you came here to see the scenery. That's the simple reason."

Misaka Mikoto looked at Mo Mo, her face showing even more disappointment. The other party had already rejected her and was even having a great time with Best. Perhaps she didn't even care where Misaka Mikoto was or where she had gone. So why would she come all the way to find her?

It's just... a coincidence.

What a coincidence...

Misaka Mikoto didn't want to think about it, but for some reason she had to. Beneath her was Mo Mo's figure in a white coat, and she couldn't help but look at him.

However, as Misaka Mikoto watched Mo Mo's retreating figure, she gradually heard a singing voice. The dynamic singing voice was sung by a male voice that Misaka Mikoto was familiar with, which instantly attracted Misaka Mikoto's attention.

This is... Mo Mo's voice. Is Mo Mo singing?

He still seems to be in the mood to sing...

Misaka Mikoto pouted, her gaze towards Mo Mo's retreating figure filled with anger. She was still angry here, while Mo Mo was singing.

Sure enough, he doesn't care about me at all, does he?

Thinking of this, Misaka Mikoto even considered leaving directly, not caring if Mo Mo found out, since he didn't care about her at all, and they were just strangers.

Without hesitation, Misaka Mikoto retracted one leg and placed it on the edge of the pillar.

But at this moment, Mo Mo's singing grew louder and louder, and the lyrics became clearer and clearer. A couple of lines of lyrics drifted past Misaka Mikoto's ears, causing her to suddenly open her eyes wide.

She...did she hear that right? These lyrics...

"...The shiny lights awake true desire, Only my RAILGUN can shoot it..."

Although the lyrics were in English, Misaka Mikoto's English was naturally not a problem, and she easily understood the meaning.

"Awaken the true light within your heart; only my railgun can pierce through everything."

These lyrics struck Misaka Mikoto like a heavy drumbeat, leaving her barely able to breathe.

Because it's obvious that the person Railgun and A Certain Scientific Railgun know is none other than her.

Is Misaka Mikoto the only person in the entire world known as "A Certain Scientific Railgun"?

This song was clearly written for her, praising her. Moreover, Misaka Mikoto was quite certain that she had never heard of this song before, nor had anyone ever mentioned it.

In other words, this song must be a new creation, or it simply didn't become popular for some reason, and Misaka Mikoto could only think of one reason why it didn't become popular...

It's already shameful enough to sing a song you wrote for someone else, how could you possibly have the nerve to share it with others? Besides, you should naturally sing the songs you wrote yourself, and it's perfectly normal to treasure them as precious possessions and not share them with others.

Misaka Mikoto looked at Mo Mo, the dynamic melody echoing in her ears. Her cold heart was melted by the song, and then it began to beat vigorously again, even the rhythm of the beating was completely chaotic, faster than the rhythm of the song.

It felt as if my entire heart was on fire.

Mo Mo... wrote a song for her and sang it himself... This was beyond Misaka Mikoto's imagination once again.

At this moment, Misaka Mikoto felt that her previous guess was correct.

Misaka Mikoto had a similar thought before: although she didn't know Mo Mo, Mo Mo should know her, and might even be very familiar with her.

The fact that Misaka Mikoto was saved by Mo Mo that day is one piece of evidence, and the detailed sand sculpture of herself that Mo Mo saw in her consciousness is another piece of evidence.

Now, listening to Mo Mo's singing, Misaka Mikoto has taken this as the third piece of evidence.

Ironclad evidence.

If Mo Mo wasn't very familiar with her and had feelings for her, why would he do something like writing and singing songs?

Although Misaka Mikoto still doesn't know why Momo rejected her or was so cold to her, listening to the song Momo wrote for her now, she feels that none of that matters anymore. She has gotten the answer she wanted, and that's enough.

Her face gradually warmed, and a faint smile appeared on her cheeks. After listening to Mo Mo sing it twice, Misaka Mikoto gradually became familiar with the melody and couldn't help but softly sing along.

With her eyes half-closed, enjoying the cool night breeze, Misaka Mikoto hummed the lyrics softly. At this moment, her unhappiness had almost disappeared, leaving only a touch of girlish ease.

However, after humming a few lines, Misaka Mikoto suddenly realized something was wrong.

What's wrong?

Because Momo's voice... disappeared.

Misaka Mikoto suddenly opened her eyes and looked down at Mo Mo directly below. Mo Mo was also smiling at her and even waved to greet her.

We've been...discovered!

And they were caught red-handed!

"Ah, I...you...wow!"

Misaka Mikoto panicked and hurriedly tried to explain, but she was sitting on the edge of a steel pillar. She had almost fallen off when Mo Mo arrived, and now that she was in such a flustered state, how far was she from falling off?

As expected, Misaka Mikoto cried out in surprise, her body losing its balance and sliding off the edge of the pillar. As she fell, she quickly used her ability, her body crackling with electricity, trying to stop her fall.

Unfortunately, Misaka Mikoto reacted too slowly. All she could do was slow her fall before crashing into Mo Mo.

Mo Mo naturally noticed Misaka Mikoto's fall and immediately stretched out his arms to catch her. Upon seeing this, Misaka Mikoto instinctively shouted, "Get out of the way!"

Misaka Mikoto knew that if she fell on the bridge, she would be completely disoriented and possibly even break a bone, but even so, she instinctively told Momo to get out of the way.

The reason is simple: Momo is now in a crucial position on the bridge; if he suffers any impact, then…

Misaka Mikoto's shout came too late again; she still bumped into Mo Mo's arm, and then, with the force of Mo Mo's arm, she was pulled into Mo Mo's arms.

However, that wasn't the end of it. A person falling more than ten meters already had a lot of force. Mo Mo was able to maintain his balance by standing on the handrail, but suddenly a girl with electric powers fell from the sky and crashed into his arms. No matter what, Mo Mo could not maintain his balance.

As Mo Mo fell off the handrail, the two began to plummet towards the water. Watching the water rapidly approaching, Misaka Mikoto, startled, instinctively clung to whatever offered her warmth and closed her eyes tightly.

However, the expected drowning didn't happen. Misaka Mikoto waited for a long time but didn't hear the sound of water. So, she secretly opened her eyes in confusion and found Mo Mo's smiling face right in front of her.

At such close range, Misaka Mikoto could see almost every inch of Mo Mo's skin.

Blinking and glancing at her and Mo Mo's state, Misaka Mikoto realized what she had just done. At this moment, she was being carried in Mo Mo's arms in a princess carry, and her arms, still tense from the previous moment, instinctively wrapped around Mo Mo's neck, almost as if she were shrinking into Mo Mo's embrace.

Upon realizing her predicament, Misaka Mikoto's face instantly flushed red from her neck upwards.

"put……"

"put?"

"Let me go!"

Misaka Mikoto, her face flushed, remained silent for a second before finally exploding. She released Mo Mo's neck and tried to struggle to get off him, but Mo Mo held on tightly, showing no intention of letting go.

"You, you, you won't let go... I, I'm going to shock you... I, I mean it!"

Misaka Mikoto's voice became incoherent, and a spark of electricity began to appear on her forehead. Seeing this, Mo Mo quickly said, "Before you shock me, check your footing first."

What's under your feet?

Misaka Mikoto was taken aback, then glanced at Mo Mo's feet, and was completely stunned by what she saw.

Because at this moment, Momo was actually standing on the water.

Author's Note:

Third update...

076 The principle is so simple.

This peculiar behavior naturally caught Misaka Mikoto's attention. She stared wide-eyed at the water's surface and then saw the white light emanating from Momo's feet and legs.

These rays of light enveloped Mo Mo's legs, seemingly giving him buoyancy, allowing him to stand on the water's surface.

No, to be precise, it should be said that Momo was made to float on the water's surface, because Momo's feet were made of cotton slippers, which would definitely get wet if they actually touched water.

"This is...your ability. What exactly is your ability? I find your consciousness very strange. I initially thought you were a physical enhancement type, but your consciousness is so odd, and then there's this..."

Misaka Mikoto asked Mo Mo curiously. She had calmed down a bit because she was focused on Mo Mo's abilities, but when she subconsciously brought up the matter in Mo Mo's consciousness space, she seemed to freeze and swallowed what she was about to say.

Misaka Mikoto had clearly thought of something, and it was obviously something she could never forget.

"Oh, those days... I really miss them."
