The Legend of Level 0 in Academy City

"I have something for you," Inoue Hideka said immediately upon seeing this.

Misaki Shokuhou did not linger because of Inoue Hideka's words, and continued to walk slowly forward.

"It's something I wanted to give you six years ago. Don't you want to take a look?" Inoue Hideka pleaded again.

This time, Misaki Shokuhou finally responded.

She stopped, but didn't turn around: "What is that?"

Seeing that Misaki Shokuhou had finally given him a chance to speak, Inoue Hideka secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He took a few steps toward Misaki Shokuhou and took out a letter from his pocket.

This is a letter written by Inoue Hideka six years ago, before her emotions were altered by the external brain and before she fell in love with Shokuhou Misaki.

After discovering Misaki Shokuhou's unfriendly attitude towards her, Inoue Hideka kept this letter with her at all times, always ready to find an opportunity to talk to Misaki Shokuhou.

After six years, today, Inoue Hideka and Shokuhou Misaki finally had a chance to be alone together.

He walked up to Misaki Shokuhou, handed her the letter, took a deep breath, and explained, "This is a letter I wrote to you before, but I never had the chance to give it to you. Everything I wanted to say is written in here."

Misaki Shokuhou lowered her head, stared at the letter for a long while, then tremblingly reached out, took the envelope, opened it in front of Eika Inoue, and quickly read it.

Then, I slowed down and read it again... Then, I read it carefully, word by word.

Time passed gradually.

Inoue Hideka waited quietly for Shokuhou Misaki's reply, and about ten minutes passed.

Finally, Misaki Shokuhou put down the letter.

No, it can't be said that she put it down... Her hand holding the letter slowly fell, and the letter drifted to the ground with the wind.

Just as Inoue Hideka was about to pick it up, she suddenly stopped.

Because he saw it.

The ground in front of Misaki Shokuhou was wet with water droplets.

Misaki Shokuhou, with her head bowed, is... crying?

"Sorry……"

Before Inoue Eika could even ask "What's wrong?", Shokuhou Misaki choked up and spoke first.

"Why? What did I do wrong?" Inoue Eika asked Shokuhou Misaki in a low voice.

"To like someone, yet choose to give up on liking her because of that... Inoue, you must have been in so much pain back then, right? I'm sorry... I'm so sorry!"

No one has a smooth journey; Eika Inoue understood this principle in her previous life.

Life is always accompanied by helplessness, which is why smooth sailing seems all the more precious.

Inoue Hideka likes Misaki Shokuhou, but if this affection will bring trouble to her, Inoue Hideka will have no choice but to give up this affection and let go of this inappropriate feeling.

Isn't Misaki Shokuhou the same?

Six years ago, because Touma Kamijou suffered brain damage when he saved her, she lived with the regret that Touma Kamijou had given her.

After Inoue Eika asked the demon to repair Kamijou Touma's brain, Shokuhou Misaki lived with guilt towards Inoue Eika again, and has been living with it ever since.

However, even so, no one has the right to deprive someone of the right to happiness.

Happiness is something you have to fight for; it doesn't fall from the sky automatically. If Misaki Shokuhou continues to live in the cage she has created for herself, she will never be happy.

Inoue Hideka didn't want the girl he once liked to spend the rest of her life in darkness.

He raised his hand and patted Misaki Shokuhou's head, gently stroking her long blonde hair, trying to comfort her:

"Shokuhou, as the strongest psychic in Academy City, you shouldn't be so foolish, right? Life is full of helplessness. For things we can't change, we should try to accept them. Happiness is a luxury; it can only be granted if you reach out and accept it. Only when it sees your sincerity will it be willing to come to you. All we can do is hope that we won't encounter such helplessness in the next life, while doing our best to live this life happily, right?"

After saying this, Inoue Hideka ran a few steps to pick up the letter and handed it back to Shokuhou Misaki.

"Shokuhou, can we make a promise? Let this letter be the end of our emotional entanglement in this life?"

Misaki Shokuhou looked up at Eika Inoue's increasingly mature face, staring blankly at her.

a long time.

Seemingly having come to a decision, Misaki Shokuhou took the letter from Inoue Hidekazu's hand and, with a resolute expression, faced Inoue Hidekazu and said:

"Okay! I agree to your promise..."

If there is an afterlife, if we can meet again, I... Misaki Shokuhou, am willing to dedicate my entire life to repay your love in this life.

This relationship, which had been put on hold for six years, finally came to an end here.

Beneath the cherry blossom trees on campus, bathed in the soft light of warm spring, Inoue Hideka and Shokuhou Misaki exchanged a smile, remaining silent.

In this life, they are destined to be apart from love.

Next life...

Inoue Eika would choose never to encounter Shokuhou Misaki again.

He would probably only silently wish that Misaki Shokuhou would have a happy and fulfilling life in her next life before he died in this life, and at the same time, he would hope that no one would ever interfere with her happiness again, including Inoue Hideka herself.

As for Misaki Shokuhou's next life, perhaps she would hope to have a prince charming who only loves her?

And what does all of this have to do with Inoue Hidekazu?

Perhaps there is. Or perhaps not... [The End]

Finish this testimonial

Level 0 is finished, it's finished... (I'm saying it twice because it's important)

Overall, I still feel a bit melancholy. It's probably like a daughter getting married (metaphorically speaking), a mix of joy and loneliness, as if something is missing.

However, no matter what, I have finally lived up to everyone's expectations. It took a year and a half, with many ups and downs. During that time, I was sad, disappointed, stopped updating, and also updated a lot (although very little). But none of this can cover up the fact that lv0 brought me many happy moments.

During the new book ranking period, it reached as high as fourth place on the list of newly signed new books by lv0 authors. It is also the Toaru Majutsu no Index fanfiction that has received the most recommendation slots so far. It is also one of the few Toaru Majutsu no Index fanfictions that persisted until the end after writing the New Testament.

Level 0 has brought me a lot of pride.

Some people became fans of Qidian because of my books, some people came to like Leizi because of my books, and some people became fans of A Certain Magical Index because of my books.

as well as.

Some people were moved to tears while watching the sister arc, while others felt inexplicably saddened by the death of Ruiko.

I am very happy that I have written an article that has been recognized and moved by everyone, and I am also very proud of it.

But all of the above is inseparable from everyone's support.

Without you all, my book wouldn't have achieved success. Without your support, I wouldn't have been able to write such beautiful words, let alone persevere to the end. Thank you all for your support, and thank you for not giving up on me.

My first book wasn't abandoned, and neither will my future books. No matter how it performs, I will keep writing.

My new book, "A Certain Scientific Dessert Shop Owner," has been blacklisted by the editor because it was previously featured on the recommendation list. It will no longer receive any recommendation slots. I sincerely hope that everyone can support my new book. It has been updated to 16 words so far, and it's probably ready to be read.

After all, this is the end of my first book, so I can't help but feel a bit sentimental. I hope you won't find me too long-winded. That's all for now. If fate allows, let's meet again in "Dessert Shop".

Finally, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the readers who have made outstanding contributions to this book.

Thanks to [Midnight One Second] for popularizing and correcting many issues regarding the settings of A Certain Magical Index.

Thank you to [Sailor Mori] for your encouragement and guidance when I was confused and depressed by the plot.

Thanks to [Railgun x Pikachu] and [Misaka Saka Shiroko] for standing at the forefront and managing our two former reader groups.

Thank you to [The Brilliance of Dawn], [Yuanxi], [Lonely Stars], [Dimensional Reduction Attack Is Approaching], and [Super NPC2014] for their thoughtful and lengthy reviews. (If any have been missed, please leave a message before this book is submitted for completion, and we will add them.)

Thanks to [l82612l] as the leader, [Uesugi Yifeng] as the protector, [Misaka Saka Shiroko], [Hanabi Ryuen], [Yuanxi], and [Longxia] as the hall masters, and [Yuansheng], [Zhizai Shenzhou], [Sandei], [Chunxiaoxiaoxiao], [Nice Doctor 777], and [Lanhai 123456789] as the helmsmen.

And 30 deacons, more than 500 disciples, and countless readers who, whether they abandoned the book or not, had at least come here.

Of course, there is also the support of many book list creators, too many to list here.

In conclusion, thank you all for your support. (bows)

The bonus content will be posted in the group. The group number is in the description. If you're interested, you can join the group.

Then.

The story is over, that's all...
