Editing Toaru Majutsu no Index:Mental Out SS (section)

===Part 1===

Their eyes met in that moment.

“…”

“…”

They were in a fairly large park in Academy City’s District 7.

Shokuhou Misaki made an effort to remain calm and graceful no matter the circumstances, but she knew she had carelessly frozen for three full seconds here.

Although he only paused in surprise because he nearly bumped into someone.

“Oops. Um, are you alright?”

Kamijou Touma.

She knew all too well that pointy-haired boy ''could not remember her name or what she looked like''. The thought irked the Queen so much she felt like her immediate surroundings had been cut away from the peaceful Sunday afternoon.

<Go ahead, Queen.>

“(I know, I know.)”

She was urged on by her aide Kobayashi Satori who was telepathically linked to her from a short distance away.

As if she wasn’t a part of all this.

“Huh? Isn’t that a Tokiwadai uniform? Y’know, that electric girl’s school.”

“Kh… Ah ha ha. You’ll have to be more specific than that.”

The honey blonde girl laughed it off with her long hair blowing in the wind.

Shokuhou realized it would seem unnatural for her to know who he meant by “electric girl”.

She was pretending to have only just met him, after all.

The honey girl, who wore a winter blazer uniform with a brand-name bag worn over her shoulder, continued a mental conversation while making sure none of it showed on her face.

<You need to make a decision. This is a valuable action that will help you continue to reign as Tokiwadai’s Queen.>

“(Again, I know.)”

Shokuhou didn’t like how the emotion in Kobayashi’s telepathic voice hinted that she was mainly doing this out of curiosity, but letting it show on her face would only confuse him.

Shokuhou made up her mind.

She chose what she should say with a smile.

And the honey blonde girl carried it out splendidly.

“''Good day to you. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance. I am Shokuhou Misaki''☆”
