A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 763 Clothing Modification

After arriving at Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko's dormitory, Lin Wuming stood up, pushed the wheelchair to the corner, and then transferred essential items such as diamond powder and small steel balls from the storage compartment to his body.

Noticing this, Misaka Mikoto couldn't help but say, "Actually, there's no need to be so vigilant. We probably won't encounter any situations requiring combat today."

"Don't worry about it, it's just a habit. It's better to be safe than sorry," Lin Wuming said. "Misaka, you probably carry coins with you too, right?"

"Well, that's right..."

Before Misaka Mikoto could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door.

"Shh!" Misaka Mikoto immediately gestured for everyone to be quiet.

If Shirai Kuroko were to return with clothes, she wouldn't knock; she would simply teleport in.

First, Misaka Mikoto turned on the video doorbell to check the situation at the door. She breathed a sigh of relief at first, but then looked annoyed by the trouble.

Upon opening the door, Misaki Shokuhou, Toumi Torabe, and Junko Hokaze were standing in the doorway.

"It's amazing you guys were able to find this place," Misaka Mikoto said with a stern face.

“Because someone saw you and the nameless senior coming in this direction,” Misaki Shokuhou said. “A little inquiry would tell us, so it’s not hard to guess that it’s in your dorm.”

"Huh? We were discovered? We thought we were being careful enough..." Misaka Mikoto said in surprise.

"Don't worry, they've already cleaned up the mess for you." Misaki Shokuhou waved the remote control in her hand, then narrowed her eyes. "So... what do you want to do by bringing the nameless senior here?"

Having heard that Misaka Mikoto had taken Lin Wuming to her dormitory room, Shokuhou Misaki and Tohmi Tomi naturally wanted to come and find out what was going on.

After realizing that this was a disguise operation to allow Lin Wuming to tour in a "low-key" manner, Misaki Shokuhou breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why go through all that trouble?" Misaki Shokuhou pulled out the remote and gestured. "It only takes a little setup..."

"Please, don't do anything reckless at a time like this!" Misaka Mikoto said helplessly. "At least let Mumei-senpai be able to participate in the event normally."

Everyone present had witnessed Misaki Shokuhou's psychological invisibility technique; it was both incredibly amazing and extremely bizarre.

After using that technology, Lin Wuming would be easily overlooked, thus achieving the goal of "operating discreetly".

However, to others—especially Misaka Mikoto—that such methods were nothing short of crooked and evil, and would affect the sense of participation in today's summer festival.

Misaki Shokuhou didn't insist: "Okay, it's nice to change your look once in a while."

As she spoke, Misaki Shokuhou looked Lin Wuming up and down: "Upon closer inspection, Wuming-senpai is actually a very good model~ However, I wonder if the drama club has any men's clothing in the right size."

Misaki Shokuhou's concerns were not unfounded. The reason why the drama club had men's clothing was mainly so that members could dress up as men during performances.

However, Tokiwadai Junior High School is an all-girls school and a junior high school, which means that there are unlikely to be any particularly tall students among the students.

At 1.7 meters tall, Misaki Shokuhou already stands out from the crowd, but when she stands next to Lin Wuming, she is still at least one head shorter.

Moreover, Lin Wuming also pays great attention to physical training—in order to better withstand the burden brought by "psychic acceleration", a strong and healthy body is indispensable.

However, his usual wheelchair-bound lifestyle gives people the misconception that Lin Wuming is physically weak. But in fact, once he gets out of the wheelchair and stands up, it becomes clear that Lin Wuming is quite well-built.

Of course, he can't compare to a muscle monster like Komaba Toshitoku, who is born with superhuman strength, but he's not much different from Kurozuma Watari.

Misaki Shokuhou was very worried that the drama club's men's clothing might burst from Lin Wuming's strain.

As they were talking, Shirai Kuroko returned to her dorm with a huge suitcase.

Shirai Kuroko was slightly surprised to see so many people crammed into her room.

Then he coughed lightly: "Anyway, I managed to borrow the men's clothing. In return, the drama club members found out that it was lent to the nameless senior. But they promised to keep it a secret."

"It's okay, just don't tell anyone," Misaka Mikoto said. "Thank you for your hard work, Kuroko."

“It’s nothing.” Shirai Kuroko shook her head. “Try it quickly. Since it doesn’t fit Mumei-senpai’s size perfectly, I also brought fabric and a sewing kit so we can make some emergency modifications.”

No wonder Shirai Kuroko brought back a huge bag of things.

The largest size men's costume in the drama club is the banquet dress of a "noble gentleman". Because it is necessary to show an effect of "being pot-bellied", the costume is more than wide. When performing, the members of the drama club usually stuff their abdomens with cushions or other stuffing to disguise it.

Now, it would be perfect to apply it to Lin Wuming.

However, the hands and feet are noticeably shorter.

Fortunately, Tokiwadai Middle School has a very rich curriculum, which includes sewing and needlework.

Apart from Misaki Shokuhou's slightly lacking manual dexterity, almost everyone present was proficient in using needles and thread.

Even Saten Ruiko, who wasn't a student at Tokiwadai Middle School, was very good at sewing.

If we don't aim for perfection, but only use the same material to lengthen the arms and legs of the garment as a temporary measure, multiple people can work together and it won't take too long.

"No need for such trouble," Lin Wuming said, rejecting the girls' modification plan.

After all, he was already wearing the clothes—otherwise it would be difficult to determine how long the parts that needed to be patched were—Lin Wuming was still not used to being surrounded by a group of people touching him all over.

“I have a faster way, and it won’t damage the clothes,” Lin Wuming said.

After saying that, Lin Wuming observed himself in the mirror for a while, and then, driven by his Nen ability, the fabric next to him was neatly cut into the right size and finally stuck directly onto the cuffs and trouser legs.

Without using needles, thread, or any other adhesives, the fabric was simply spliced ​​together using pure telekinesis.

Lin Wuming's Nen ability has now reached an extraordinary level, so adjusting his clothes is a trivial matter that poses no difficulty for him.

Unless it encounters Touma Kamijou's "Imagine Breaker", it will not crack even if it is violently torn.

Seeing this, the girls who had just been discussing the division of labor all showed complicated expressions.

“Nameless senior, this won’t do.” Misaki Shokuhou, who had been watching the whole thing, couldn’t help but shake her head and complain, “We have to give the girls a chance to show themselves.”
