The lobsters were already on the grill, on a plate with tin foil on top. Soon they were done, and everyone started peeling and eating them.

Finally, the roasted eggplant and roasted gluten are ready.

The barbecue is also good.

Everyone was eating and drinking by the lake. Darkness and Huihui were a little hesitant and wary of this place before, but after eating and drinking, the wariness almost disappeared. Although they were still very curious about this place, because it was totally inconsistent with their common sense, the people here were indeed good people, so the wariness in their hearts disappeared unconsciously, and they became friends with everyone while eating and drinking.

I really felt full and satisfied.

In the end, I ate so much that I didn’t want to move anymore, my stomach was so bloated.

Li Qing smiled and said, “It seems like you all enjoyed your meal. Please give me some comments on my cooking skills!”

I gave it a thumbs up straight away.

Li Qing burst into laughter.

Everyone was digesting their food by the lake. They had come out at noon, and now the sky was getting dark. They had been out playing for the entire afternoon.

No, I ate it all afternoon.

I don’t know where these guys’ stomachs get so big. They clearly had lunch, but now they eat so much. They’re really bottomless pits. But there’s a saying that goes, “This little brat is eating me to death.” Kids of this age really eat a lot.

“Okay, let’s go back!” Li Qing said again.

Everyone nodded.

So they sent people back one by one, and in the end only Lee Sin, Darkness, and Huihui were left.

“Let’s go back too.” Li Qing said.

Darkness and Megumin both nodded.

At this time, Darkness couldn’t help but ask, “Where is this place?”

“Countryside!” Li Qing said with a smile.

Then he took the two of them and turned a corner. The next moment, the two of them found themselves back on a familiar street. In front of them was the place where they had lived for a long time. They could see the gate clearly now. The two of them were stunned again. How did they suddenly come back?

They quickly looked behind them and saw that it was still a familiar street, not a pastoral road.

So their expressions became even more confused.

When they suddenly appeared there before, they were not prepared. One of them was supporting someone and the other was dazed. It was normal that they did not notice anything unusual at that time. But now they were in good spirits. Under such circumstances, they did not notice anything unusual, so they were even more shocked. This kind of thing is too incredible? How did it happen?

Was that place real or imaginary? Why did it suddenly appear and then disappear?

What’s going on.

The two couldn’t help but ask Li Qing: “What’s going on?”

Li Qing smiled and said, “Guess what you think.”

The two shook their heads: “I can’t guess.”

Li Qing laughed and didn’t hide anything. He smiled and said, “Well, that’s another world.”

“Another world?” The two were surprised.

Li Qing nodded: “That is a world without magic, so Xia Hai and the others think you are weird, because they fundamentally believe that magic is fictional and does not exist, and you know magic, so many of your actions are very incredible to them.”

“…”

Darkness and Huihui looked at each other and shook their heads, indicating that they did not believe what Li Qing said at all.

What another world? That’s ridiculous.

Li Qing shrugged: “If you don’t believe it, forget it.”

Then he walked straight forward, opened the door and walked into the big villa. Darkness and Huihui hurriedly followed.

“Were those all your illusions just now?” Darkness asked.

Li Qing glanced at her: “Illusion?”

Then he smiled and shook his head: “Is the illusion so powerful?”

“Not necessarily. Maybe your illusion is just that powerful.” Darkness said.

Li Qing laughed: “You think so highly of me.”

“Because you are too mysterious.” Darkness said, “You suddenly appeared and disappeared, and now you suddenly brought us to a place that seemed so real, and then suddenly brought us back. So you must have a lot of secrets. Maybe what happened just now was really an illusion.”

Li Qing laughed out loud: “Really? I’m so awesome!”

“But the food in your stomach shouldn’t be an illusion, right?” Li Qing said with a smile.

Darkness: “Maybe.”

Li Qing couldn’t help laughing, then shook his head with amusement: “That’s the real world!”

Academy City.

Because of Huihui’s incident, Li Qing thought carefully about what happened last time before coming here.

Index appeared and the collar was broken, but it was him, not Kamijou Touma, who broke it. Also, Index was not with Kamijou Touma, but with Misaka Mikoto, and was living in the room that Misaka Mikoto found. The other changes were not that big.

Li Qing nodded: “It should be correct.”

Then he went to Index’s house. As mentioned before, Index lived in the house that Misaka Mikoto had found. Li Qing remembered the address, so he went straight to the house. However, there was no one in the house. So Li Qing knew that Index had gone out for a stroll. Most likely, she went to the shopping street downstairs. There were many delicious foods there, and Index, a big foodie, couldn’t resist.

So Li Qing decided to go down and look for it.

But at this moment, the door suddenly opened. Li Qing looked towards the door and heard a voice calling: “Index?”

It was Misaka Mikoto who walked in.

Li Qing looked towards Misaka Mikoto, who also noticed him at this time. She was stunned for a moment and then became surprised: “It’s you! You’re here!”

He quickly came over and asked: “Where have you been these days? Why can’t I find you?”

“Sorry, sorry, I have something to do.” Li Qing said with a smile.

Misaka Mikoto asked quickly, “What’s the matter? Academy City may be big, but it’s not that big. Why can’t I find you?”

“Because I’m no longer in Academy City.” Li Qing said.

Misaka Mikoto was surprised: “You left Academy City?”

“Yes.” Li Qing nodded.

Misaka Mikoto was very surprised: “Why did you leave Academy City?”

“Something happened.” Li Qing said.

Misaka Mikoto nodded and didn’t ask any more questions. Instead, she looked behind Li Qing and asked, “Where’s Index?”

“I just arrived too and didn’t see Index.” Li Qing said.

Misaka Mikoto nodded: “She probably went to the shopping street downstairs to eat. Every time I came to see her, she was eating downstairs, and she ate a lot.”

“If you hadn’t given her so much money, she would have run out of money to eat long ago.” Li Qing also said with a smile.

Misaka Mikoto nodded helplessly, then said with a strange look on her face: “I don’t know where all the food she eats goes. Every time she eats, she eats one-third of her body weight. It’s impossible for her stomach to hold so much food. This is not scientific at all.”

“But this is magic.” Li Qing said with a smile.

Misaka Mikoto was curious: “Magic?”

She knew that Index was a magician, but she was still a little curious about magic, so she asked again: “I know that Index is a magician, but is it because of magic that she is so late? Can magic also turn people into foodies?”

Li Qing said: “There is indeed magic that can turn people into foodies, but that’s not the case with Index.”

“What’s going on?” Misaka Mikoto asked curiously.

The two walked out of the door and headed towards the shopping street not far downstairs. Li Qing explained to Misaka Mikoto: “Index has 13,000 magic books in her mind. These magic books are not ordinary memories, but memories that contain magic. Therefore, it takes a huge amount of magic to maintain them. That’s why the agency that gave Index this task also gave her a magic called automatic secretary, which is the magic that appeared when Index’s collar was removed.”

Misaka Mikoto listened very carefully.

Then Li Qing continued, “That magic maintains the existence of 103,000 magic books. All the magic power generated in Index’s body is drained away, so Index herself cannot use magic because she has no magic power to use. And this is not all the side effects. Because of the existence of 103,000 magic books in her mind, her energy is greatly depleted, so she needs to keep eating to replenish it, so she becomes a glutton.”

Misaka Mikoto nodded in realization: “So that’s how it is.”

“I thought Index just loved eating,” she added.

Li Qing laughed: “She does like to eat. Didn’t you see how happy she is even when she’s not eating?”

Misaka Mikoto was speechless.

Index was indeed very happy when she ate.

The two went downstairs and came to the shopping street. Not long after, they heard someone saying that the big eater was here again. The two looked at each other and went in the direction of the big eater. Sure enough, they saw Index eating heartily there. The plates were piled as high as a person. Although Index often appeared here, she would always attract the attention of many people. After all, it was really surprising that she could eat so much.

Lee Sin and Misaka Mikoto walked over. Index was very surprised to see them, her eyes lit up.

“Wuwu! Wuwuwu!” Index whimpered.

She wanted to say hello, but because there was too much food in her mouth, Li Qing and Misaka Mikoto didn’t know what she was saying.

“Eat first, and talk after you’re done.” Li Qing said with a smile.

Index nodded quickly and swallowed the food in her mouth. Li Qing thought she was going to speak, but she picked up the plate full of food next to her and poured it into her mouth again.

After finishing one plate, there is another. The stomach is like a bottomless pit, eating non-stop.

Li Qing and Misaka Mikoto looked at each other and didn’t bother her.

Let’s talk about it after she finishes eating.

In this way, the two of them waited here and ate a little. Index finally finished eating, and after paying the bill, the three of them came out.

Index asked Li Qing excitedly: “Where have you been? I haven’t been able to find you for a long time!”

Li Qing told Index what he had said to Misaka Mikoto. Index nodded continuously and then smiled and said, “Many things are not fun after you left. Besides, I miss you too. Mikoto misses you too. She has told me this many times.”

“No!” Misaka Mikoto said loudly, her face turning red.

Li Qing laughed loudly and glanced at Misaka Mikoto, who yelled at him: “What are you looking at! That was just something Index said!!”

“I’m not saying that.” Index said, “Mikoto, you just miss Lee Sin so much!”

“No way!” Misaka Mikoto said loudly again, trying to cover Index’s mouth, but she also knew that she was trying to cover up her mistake.

So she quickly changed the subject: “Index, you only know how to eat every day. Don’t you have any other goals? Do you have any dreams? Is there anything you want to accomplish? Is it just eating? Don’t you have anything else to pursue?”

Index was stunned for a moment. She looked at Misaka Mikoto: “Mikoto, what are you talking about?”

Misaka Mikoto looked at her and said, “What am I talking about? I’m saying that you have no ambition and all you do is eat and eat!”

Index: “…”

She looked at Li Qing and muttered, “Li Qing, Mikoto bullied me.”

Li Qing burst into laughter again. He rubbed Index’s head and said, “Don’t listen to her. She’s just shy and trying to change the subject. And her way of changing the subject is terrible. Just pretend you didn’t hear it!”

“I didn’t change the subject!” Misaka Mikoto’s face turned red again.

Li Qing laughed loudly, and suddenly his expression became serious. He asked Misaka Mikoto, “Mikoto, has anything of note happened in Academy City recently?”

His sudden change in expression made Misaka Mikoto stunned for a moment, and then Misaka Mikoto subconsciously said: “Nothing, very calm.”

Li Qing asked again: “It’s really nothing? Didn’t you overlook something?”

“Really not.” Misaka Mikoto shook her head and began to think, wondering if she really had overlooked something.

Then she heard Li Qing say to Index: “See? This is the most effective way to change the subject. First, make a serious expression, then question her words, and lead her to think involuntarily. Only then will her attention be diverted and the topic will be successfully diverted. Of course, the most important thing is that the things you say must be closely related to her and something she cares about. Otherwise, the topic change will not be successful.”

“I understand.” Index said loudly, “What Mikoto just said is what I don’t care about, so she didn’t succeed.”

“That’s the truth.” Li Qing said with a smile.

Misaka Mikoto: “…”

Her face darkened, and she looked at Liangre expressionlessly: “Do you think I’m easy to bully?”

Li Qing laughed: “No, no!”

Then he said to Index, “Mikoto is angry, let’s walk faster.”

Index nodded quickly, and the two of them hurriedly ran forward. Misaka Mikoto quickly caught up with them: “Stop right there!”

They were noisy all the way and finally calmed down. Then the three of them sat down in a cafe. This cafe was an open-air cafe. As it was located on the roadside, the environment was very quiet. It was just right to sit down and take a rest at ordinary times. The desserts here tasted very good, so many people stayed here. They were basically high school girls, and it was very lively.
