A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 1001 The Beauty with Ulterior Motives

Just as Touma was reflecting and trying to comfort himself, his father, Touya Kamijou, and mother, Shina Kamijou, arrived. For some reason, the young woman whom Touya had accidentally bumped into earlier also came over.

Whether it was some kind of talent or not, it seemed that Kamijou Touya had already become familiar with that girl in just a few words.

Incidentally, the mother, Shina Kamijou, also had a rather dangerous look in her eyes; however, Touya Kamijou seemed completely unaware of it.

Watching this scene unfold before him, Touma Kamijou felt a headache coming on and had an urge to sigh and rub his forehead again. Then he couldn't help but glance at Index beside him.

Could it be that Index sees him as someone like his father?

Kamijou Touma suddenly realized something in his mind.

—If that's really the case, it's not hard to understand why Index would be angry...

"This is..."

The young woman—to be more precise, a very voluptuous older sister—looked at him, and Touma Kamijou couldn't help but gasp, feeling somewhat intimidated.

She's truly exceptional! Putting aside her size, what's most special is the mature charm she exudes.

Simply put, this is a type that Touma Kamijou, who is still in school life, rarely encounters, so it is quite impactful.

“My son, Touma Kamijou,” Touya Kamijou proudly introduced.

"Hey~ Touma Kamijou... hello." The older sister smiled, openly sizing up the boy in front of her.

—It came so easily, the legendary "Imagine Killer," the true target of Bishop Piagogi...

The "deliveryman," Oriana, observed carefully—he looked quite ordinary, but the strange nun beside him... could she be the legendary "Index to Forbidden Books"?
Oriana became slightly more vigilant. Her magic and the "Index" were not very compatible, and if a fight broke out, this little nun might be a problem.

As she pondered, Oriana reached out, seemingly wanting to touch Touma Kamijou's cheek.

Kamijou Touma stood motionless, seemingly unable to move or unwilling to move.

Just as Index was about to lose her temper, someone unexpectedly appeared.

Sakura and Ryoko, two stunningly beautiful women with model-like figures, stood in front of Touma Kamijou and slapped away Oriana's outstretched right hand.

"Please have some self-respect, miss."

Oriana was stunned.

Seeing the undisguised provocation in the eyes of the two people opposite her, Oriana narrowed her eyes slightly, then regained her composure as if nothing had happened, and decisively took her leave without any hesitation or lingering.

"What's going on now?" Index immediately grabbed Touma Kamijou and questioned him.

"This... I don't know either!" Kamijou Touma exclaimed.

While arguing, Touma Kamijou couldn't help but feel a little guilty, because he realized that he did indeed know the two girls who had stood up for him.

Touma Kamijou had met them more than once, and could even be considered "acquaintances." When he said that the mature older woman was "a type he rarely encountered," he really meant that although she was rare, he had had some contact with her.

However, seeing such an unexpected turn of events, Touma Kamijou's brain almost shut down, and he was completely unable to understand what had happened.

"See? I knew it would turn out like this!" Index rolled her eyes and said.

Mother Shina Kamijou smiled and said, "Oh my, it seems Touma has grown up quite a bit."

His expression was completely different from the sinister look he had given Touya Kamijou just moments before. ...

Not long after Oriana left, Sakura and Ryoko also quietly left, returning to the background.

"Is it really okay to just let that woman go like that?" Ryoko asked. "She's from 'over there,' isn't she?"

It was precisely because they knew that woman was dangerous and harbored ill intentions that Sakura and Ryoko decisively stepped forward to stop Oriana.

“No need,” Sakura shook her head. “That was an emergency, which is why we had to make special arrangements. Don’t forget, there’s a clause in the Chairman’s orders that says we can retreat immediately if Touma Kamijou is involved in any magical incidents.”

In other words, if Orianna had attacked directly instead of making those ambiguous gestures, neither of them would have made a move.

……

After hastily leaving Touma Kamijou, Oriana moved while keeping an eye on what was behind her.

As a professional, she could sense that the two women who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere were "abnormal."

To be precise, the two graceful and beautiful women gave her a feeling of being "fellow travelers".

Therefore, Orianna decisively chose to retreat.

“That Lin Wuming was like that, and now this Kamijou Touma is like that too. No matter what those two women’s identities are, the facts are there…” Oriana muttered to herself, “Are male high school students really that popular these days?”

However, Oriana didn't dwell on it too much, since her mission objective didn't include Touma Kamijou—Bishop Piaget had other plans for him.

Aside from transporting the spirit weapon "Thrusting Hang Sword", Oriana's only target is Lin Wuming.

Arriving at the pre-arranged changing room in the mall, Oriana quickly changed her clothes, transforming from a tourist into a student volunteer, a common sight on the street.

A few minutes later, a brand-new female volunteer walked out of the mall.

“Next…” Oriana looked around, “where should we look for Lin Wuming?”

……

Lin Wuming was still busy at this moment.

As the competitions began, the girls who had been surrounding her dispersed to different venues to participate in the events.

As for Lin Wuming, he only had one project to attend this morning, so he was relatively free.

However, this so-called "free time" is a conclusion drawn without taking into account other work.

In fact, the work of the disciplinary committee members and the "anonymous directors" has become even busier.

Of course, according to the girls like Misaki Shokuhou and Misaka Mikoto, all this busyness was Lin Wuming's own doing, and he really couldn't blame anyone else.

Lin Wuming did not deny such evaluations. Whether it was a sense of responsibility or a habit he had developed over a long period as a "hero," Lin Wuming had never thought of shirking these responsibilities.

Of course, more importantly, during the Daihasei Festival, the AIM diffusion field throughout Academy City is highly active, making it arguably the time when the Imaginary Number District is closest to the real world.

In other words, this was the most opportune time for Lin Wuming to experiment with "psychic clones".

Besides, he was indeed very busy right now, so Lin Wuming certainly wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone!
After learning about Lin Wuming's "clone verification experiment" plan, Misaka Mikoto specifically asked him for a task - "Help him keep an eye on his mother, Misaka Misuzu".
