"Biri-biri you suddenly grabbed my arm and forced me to pretend to be your boyfriend so you could get the gekota accessory you wanted?" Asked Touma with a sigh. "Don't you feel ashamed doing this kind of thing to me?"
Right now Touma and Mikoto were right in front of the accessory shop, filling out a form stating that the two of them were a couple.
"S-shut up you idiot!" Mikoto replied with a slightly red face because Touma was so close to her. "I'll do whatever it takes to get the Gekota accessory I want, even if I have to do something a bit embarrassing!"
Mikoto actually, has given up on getting the Gekota accessories she wants, because she has never had close relationships with boys since she has attended an all-girls school since she was in the elementary school.
But when she accidentally saw Touma, her hope was revived. Because Touma is arguably the man who has the closest relationship with her.
She knew that Touma disliked her a bit.
But Mikoto is sure that Touma will not reject her if she asks Touma for help, because she knows that even though Touma is a lazy person, Touma is a person who will help other people who need help as long as the help needed does not harm other people.
After the two of them finished filling out the forms, Touma and Mikoto wanted to take a selfie together so that the conditions needed to get Gekota accessories could be fulfilled. But unfortunately before the two of them had time to take selfies because there was a sudden disturbance.
"Hmm, I didn't expect that Misaka Mikoto, the third strongest Esper in Academy City, would dare to have an affair with a boy who already has a girlfriend, don't you feel the least bit ashamed of what you're doing right now?"
Shizuri Mugino, who couldn't accept that Mikoto could be making out and taking selfies with the boy she liked, consciously and deliberately interfered before the selfie could be taken. Because she didn't want to be preceded by Mikoto, whom she considered as one of her rivals.

"Shizuri Mugino!" Mikoto shouted with tick mark showing on her forehead because she was angry. "What are you doing, purposely disturbing me while I'm taking an important selfie that will determine whether or not I'll be able to get the Gekota accessory that I want! And don't tell me I'm having an affair! Because me and this idiot Touma are only pretending to be a couple because that's a necessary condition for me to get the Gekota accessory!"
"Ooh I'm sorry if I bothered you to get the cheap accessory you wanted," Mugino said in a condescending tone to Mikoto. "But I can't possibly allow you to take a selfie with the guy I like, before I do it!"
Mikoto becomes even more angry, because Mugino insulted her, and she wants to protest against Mugino and say that Gekota is not a cheap accessory. But before she could do that, Frenda one of Mugino's friend at ITEM shouted first and said;
"Mugino-san! Gekota brand is not a cheap brand, even though it looks a bit childish. Because some rare items from these brands can be worth up to tens of millions of yen when auctioned on the internet. I personally collect Gekota brands secretly, and some items from Gekota brands that I collect cost millions of yen, you know."
Mugino's mouth dropped open when she heard Frenda's words. Little did Mugino know that the brand she thought was childish was not a cheap brand.
Mikoto was happy when she heard that Frenda was also a Gekota brand fan like herself, in Tokiwadai a Gekota brand fan besides herself was one of the followers of Shokuhou, in fact the two of them often talked about Gekota when they both had free time.
While Touma and also Asagi who didn't want to get involved in the fight between Mugino and Mikoto could only sigh in relief. Touma wanted to quickly take a selfie with Mikoto so he could be reunited with Kotori, Shizuka, Ukyo and Kasumi. While Asagi wanted to hurry back to her apartment so she could watch blue ray of the anime she liked.

"I-I don't care if Gekota brand is of good or not! But what is most important to me is that you don't take selfies with Kamijou Touma!" Mugino said who had looked calmer. "There's no way I'm going to let you who has usurped my position as the Academy's number three strongest Esper take anything else I desire!"
"Y-You're bothering me because you don't want me to take selfies with Touma!" Shouted Mikoto who became even angrier after she heard Mugino's reason for interrupting her. "Come on! Don't tell me you like Touma too!"
"If I like Kamijou Touma so what?" Mugino said casually. "Is it wrong for a beautiful woman like me who is rich and powerful to fall in love with a man who is as strong, dashing and powerful as him. Isn't that a natural thing! I know that Kamijou Touma already has a girlfriend. But polygamy is permitted in Japan, due to the very low birth rate. I'm sure that Kamijou Touma won't refuse if I become one of his wives after all."
Mugino's words made Touma slap his forehead, he had never expected Mugino to say such a bold thing in front of so many people, even though he had heard Mugino say it to himself many times. Whereas Mugino's words clearly irritated Mikoto, Frenda and also Asagi. Mugino, who had high self-confidence, was able to freely confess her feelings to Touma. Meanwhile, the three of them still didn't have the courage to confess the feelings they had to Touma.
"Stop Mugino, please don't speak anymore," Touma said. "Because what you say will only add to the problem, I know that you like me. But you don't need to say it so openly in a public place like this. If you want to take a selfie with me, you just say, then I'll be happy to take a selfie with you."
***
"Is that's true!" Mugino shouted, immediately touching Touma's palms with both of her hands because she felt happy. "Are you really willing to take a selfie with me Kamijou Touma?"
"Yes-yes, have I ever lied to you, about something like this, Mugino?" Asked Touma with a sigh.
"Yeah, you never lied to me, at all," Mugino replied. "Then let's do a selfie right now!"
Reluctantly, Touma finally took a selfie with Mugino so she wouldn't bother Mikoto again.
Mugino looked happy after she took a selfie with Touma. Mugino looks at the results of the selfie she took using her smartphone camera. The results of her selfies were pretty good, and finally she was able to have a photo of herself with Touma that she had wanted for a long time.
After Touma took a selfie with Mugino, both Frenda and Asagi forced him to take a selfie together, so he was forced to postpone taking selfies with Mikoto three times.
After the three ITEM members looked satisfied, they finally left so he could finally take a selfie with Mikoto.
"Geez!" Mikoto shouted after she finished taking selfies with Touma. "Why it's really hard for me to get Gekota accessories, There's always a problem that hindering me!"
"Well, it can't be helped," Touma said with a smile. "The important thing is that now you can get the accessories you want right?"
