After Lin Wuming woke up from his coma, just as Heaven Canceller said, his injuries had mostly healed, reaching the standard for immediate discharge from the Hospital.
Therefore, Lin Wuming, who was already tired of the Hospital, decisively chose to go home.
Then, at the party celebrating his recovery and discharge, Lin Wuming found an opportunity to announce his upcoming date with Shokuhou Misaki.
Somewhat unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, the room was silent for a moment, and then, as if nothing had happened, it immediately resumed its previous lively atmosphere.
Everyone continued their previous conversations, chatting animatedly with each other; no one objected to the "date," nor did they even offer a single comment.
This made Lin Wuming suspect that Shokuhou Misaki might have already told everyone in advance.
However, for Lin Wuming, quietly turning this page was clearly the best option.
Otherwise, if it really caused a commotion... he had no confidence or means to appease the rampaging girls.
It was better to do it sooner rather than later; Shokuhou Misaki also seemed worried that delaying it might lead to special circumstances, so she decided the "date" would be tomorrow.
Back at the dormitory, all the important members of the Shokuhou Faction, except for Hu Feng Toumi, gathered together and, led by Kazakiri Hyouka, brainstormed ideas for Her Majesty's date tomorrow.
But honestly, the most valuable advice such a group of young ladies from a noble girls' school could offer was merely about clothing and makeup.
As for the specific content and arrangements of the "date"... unfortunately, even they could only refer to movie plots or romance novels.
After all, these young ladies' experience with dating boys... was basically zero.
It wasn't that Tokiwadai Middle School had no students with dating experience, it was just that there were none within the Shokuhou Faction.
So, this "strategy meeting" quickly went off-topic and turned into a dress-up session with Her Majesty as the model.
They were all at an age where they cared about beauty, and they had no shortage of money or channels to acquire the clothing and jewelry they desired.
However, due to the strict school rules of Tokiwadai Middle School, these beautiful clothes and accessories could only remain as decorations in their wardrobes.
Now, with Shokuhou Misaki, a nearly perfect model who wasn't afraid of school rules, everyone brought out their cherished outfits.
Shokuhou Misaki initially didn't think much of it; in her opinion, going on the date in her Tokiwadai Middle School uniform, as usual, would be fine.
After all, this was the most classic and memorable outfit in Lin Wuming's memory.
However, her idea was unanimously opposed by the Sadan Faction members.
In the girls' view, for an important "first date," one should naturally show a new side to leave a deep impression on the other person.
Finally, it was Kazakiri Hyouka who convinced Shokuhou Misaki.
Because both Lin Wuming and Shokuhou Misaki were "celebrities," there was a high possibility of them being recognized in public.
In the past, when they acted together, they didn't care about this. But tomorrow was different; tomorrow was an important "date"...
"Your Majesty wouldn't want to be disturbed during a pleasant date, would she?" Kazakiri Hyouka said, "So, it would be best if both you and Lin Wuming slightly changed your appearances, that way you can reduce a lot of unnecessary attention!"
Although, if Shokuhou Misaki wanted to, she could completely achieve the same effect using "Mental Out."
But based on Kazakiri Hyouka's understanding of her, when it came to something as important as a "date," Her Majesty would absolutely not be willing to cheat using esper ability.
"Runzi-jie, you're right!" Shokuhou Misaki responded with a serious nod, "Alright, then I'll slightly change my appearance!"
...
"Onee-sama? Are you... alright?" Shirai Kuroko asked cautiously, "You seem... not quite like your usual style."
"Huh? What's wrong with me?" Misaka Mikoto looked up from her game console screen. "Even I play games sometimes, you know. And you just saw, as an Electromaster, I actually lost to Hu Feng Tong Xue in gaming... I guess I really need to practice."
"That's probably because Hu Feng Senior was full of murderous intent..." Shirai Kuroko mumbled softly, then said seriously, "You know I don't mean that, Onee-sama—Shokuhou Senpai is going on a date with Lin Wuming tomorrow! Tomorrow!"
"Oh, that, I heard it too." Misaka Mikoto waved her hand indifferently, but she also put down her handheld console and picked up the "Injured Bear" doll on the bed.
"So... Onee-sama, are you okay?" Shirai Kuroko asked tentatively, "Emotions like sadness or anger... keeping them bottled up will cause problems."
"Kuroko, you worry too much." Misaka Mikoto rolled her eyes and said listlessly, "Indeed, I'm a bit depressed, but it's not to the point of sadness or even anger."
Her calm demeanor, on the contrary, surprised Shirai Kuroko: "Eh? Is Onee-sama really not bothered? Shokuhou Misaki and Lin Wuming's date tomorrow..."
"Stop!" Misaka Mikoto made a stopping gesture. "I know what's happening tomorrow, so stop emphasizing it over and over again! And didn't I say I'm also very depressed?"
Otherwise, Misaka Mikoto wouldn't have acted so uncharacteristically, burying herself in video games as soon as she returned to the dormitory.
"Tsk, she clearly cares a lot!" Shirai Kuroko secretly clicked her tongue—she had thought Onee-sama had given up, judging by her behavior today!
Lin Wuming is truly a sinful man...
"Well, after all, it's just a da... da... date, it doesn't mean anything." Misaka Mikoto said, "And it must have been Shokuhou who instigated Lin Wuming; her esper ability is very advantageous, she must have arranged it while Lin Wuming was still unconscious."
"So!" Misaka Mikoto patted the teddy bear, "This doesn't mean anything! With Lin Wuming's personality and behavior patterns, if I invited him, I would also succeed."
In a sense, Misaka Mikoto was actually right. But at this moment, to Shirai Kuroko, it sounded more and more like a "self-deceiving" excuse.
Shirai Kuroko remained calm and continued to ask, "So, Onee-sama, what are your plans for tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow..." Misaka Mikoto stared blankly into the void again, then after a moment, she continued, "Tomorrow, let's go to the arcade. It's a good chance to practice my gaming skills and replenish my ammo reserves..."
"Onee-sama!" Shirai Kuroko appeared in front of Misaka Mikoto with a Space Movement, gripping her shoulders tightly. "Pull yourself together, Onee-sama! Don't run away!"
