A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 766 Unique Combinations

The restaurant was unusually quiet, which caught the girls' attention.

Today is the "Midsummer Festival," and unlike usual, the people dining here are all young ladies from Tokiwadai Middle School, so they need to observe proper dining etiquette.

Today is a day for entertaining guests, so it's impossible to apply the same rules to visitors.

"Could it be that there's no one here?" Misaki Shokuhou said. "It's still early, there shouldn't be too many people going to the restaurant..."

With that, the three of them walked into the restaurant together.

Contrary to Misaki Shokuhou's guess, there were people in the restaurant, quite a few of them. There were dozens of people, including the maids from Tokiwadai and visiting tourists.

However, all the people present remained silent, gathered together and staring at a certain spot in the corner.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Misaka Mikoto muttered as she walked forward.

Not only visitors, but even the "maid" students in charge of the restaurant joined in the spectacle, which was quite unusual.

After all, just this morning the "head maid" repeatedly emphasized that everyone should fulfill their duties.

Misaka Mikoto patted the nearest classmate on the shoulder: "What happened here?"

"Ah, it's Misaka-san!" The maid was startled to see Misaka Mikoto, but then immediately became overjoyed. "Great, Misaka-san is here!"

"Not only Misaka-san, Shokuhou-san is here too!" "Great, it's Level 5!" "Misaka-sama, she's finally here..."

More and more people are noticing them.

Suddenly, the previously quiet environment seemed to come alive, and people resumed talking.

At the same time, the crowd spontaneously made way, allowing Misaka Mikoto and the others to finally see the scene being watched from the very back.

"Oh dear, my head hurts..." Misaka Mikoto sighed, rubbing her forehead, and groaned softly.

A pale figure, scarlet eyes—a distinctive presence that makes him instantly recognizable even in a crowd…

Accelerator is currently confronting three guys who look like delinquents.

No wonder the atmosphere was so tense just now. On one side was the most powerful superpowered person, who was famous and looked very fierce, and on the other side was a typical group of "delinquents".

Even if the two parties involved did not intend to fight here, the scene itself makes it hard not to make connections.

"How on earth did they get in?" Misaka Mikoto muttered.

Accelerator is one thing, even though he doesn't seem like a good person, he's still a disciplinary committee member, so he shouldn't be barred from entering.

As for the other three—Misaka Mikoto still remembers two of them, having seen them in the underground arena.

Hamazura Shiage and Hattori Hanzo are minor leaders of the armed group SKILL OUT, which consists of people with no ability.

These are genuine delinquents! How did the students in charge of the gate let them in?

Of course, that's all. After all, they're just delinquents. Since they're an armed group of "powerless" people, they probably can't even beat a maid in this dormitory area where everyone is level 3 or above.

So there's no need to worry about it.

What really gave Misaka Mikoto a headache was the trio at the table behind her, engrossed in their meal as if no one else was around.

A mini version of yourself—the final signal is inside!
—No wonder the dorm supervisor mentioned her "little sister" earlier; it turns out she really is a smaller version of herself!
I initially thought they were mass-produced Misaka Sisters. "How did this girl end up with Accelerator?" Misaka Mikoto muttered.

Although Misaka Mikoto already knew about the "Level 5 Evolution Project," the experiment was never actually carried out, so she didn't have any particular feelings towards Accelerator.

The reason I mentioned this is simply because I have some feelings about it—I feel that Accelerator does have some strange connection with his clones.

To the "maids" present, this cute girl, who was suspected to be "Misaka-san's sister," was a more noteworthy presence than Accelerator.

After Misaka Mikoto appeared, many people began to observe and compare the two of them.

On the other side of the final signal is a doll-like, exquisitely cute blonde girl. Just by being "cute," she is enough to rival the final signal, which has received the "Misaka-san blessing," and garner the same attention.

As for the other girl at the same table with them, she was Index, the silver-haired nun from Touma Kamijou's family.

For some reason, there was no sign of Touma Kamijou around; only the nun was there, enjoying her meal.

Although Index is a very cute girl, and even has a unique nun's uniform, it is clear that Index, who has entered her gluttonous mode, can hardly show her charm as a "beautiful girl".

"How did they even manage to assemble such a group?" Seeing this, Misaki Shokuhou couldn't help but complain, "It feels like something's not normal unless something happens."

"Misaka-senpai, Shokuhou-senpai, please go and mediate this," a maid classmate pleaded.

The sudden tense standoff between the two sides seems to have caused trouble for the maid classmate who manages the restaurant.

"Ah, I see..." Misaki Shokuhou seemed to have suddenly realized something. She shook her head gently and said reassuringly, "Don't worry, leave this to us. Everyone can continue with their activities as usual."

Tokiwadai Middle School is different now than it was a year ago. With the graduation of third-year students Hashikura Reiri and Mizukami Nagisa, and the withdrawal of second-year student Satan Sen, the original three major factions have successively disbanded. The era of faction wars has come to a complete end.

Therefore, this year's freshmen rarely possess the fighting spirit and combative qualities of their senior female classmates.

Let alone the legendary "vector manipulation" Accelerator, even the three "ordinary delinquents" from SKILL OUT, these real young ladies dared not easily approach them.

Therefore, Misaka Mikoto and Shokuhou Misaki, who were also Level 5, became their lifeline.

"Ah, it's just a misunderstanding!" Noticing that two more Level 5s were approaching, Hamazura Shiage stepped forward as their representative to negotiate.

Accelerator snorted coldly and turned his head away, which was also a way of making his stance clear.

—It seems it really was just a misunderstanding.

only……

"So how exactly did this happen?" Misaka Mikoto asked.

"Actually, it's like this..." Seeing that Accelerator didn't seem inclined to speak, Hamazura Shiage raised his hand again to speak.

Simply put, the SKILL OUT trio came today specifically to accompany Fremia to the "Summer Festival".

Therefore, all their actions were based entirely on Fremia's opinions.

As she passed by the restaurant, Fremia was easily drawn to the desserts inside and went in...

Shortly afterward, the final signal was also brought to the restaurant by several maids.
