A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 775 Kinuhata's Favorite Request
"What a hassle... Seriously, I really lost out today." Misaki Shokuhou complained loudly as she paced back and forth, seemingly trying to express her dissatisfaction. "Not only did I not get a chance to tour with the nameless senior, but I was also dragged into helping out—don't you think that's unreasonable, Tiger Bee? We should be guests too!"

Tiger Bee Honey said calmly, without any expression on her face, "At least Misaka didn't have the chance to act with Nameless—isn't that enough for you?"

“It’s ‘for us’,” Misaki Shokuhou corrected, then asked, “By the way, was last year’s ‘Midsummer Festival’ this lively?”

“I don’t know,” Hu Feng Toumi shook his head. “At this time last year, I was basically staying at home.”

“That makes sense,” Misaki Shokuhou nodded. She hadn’t paid any attention to last year’s summer festival, nor had she come to visit.

If Lin Wuming hadn't come to visit today, Misaki Shokuhou wouldn't have come here.

"I wonder if it's some kind of nameless senior..." Misaki Shokuhou muttered to herself.

She wondered if Lin Wuming's actions had triggered a butterfly effect, which made this year's "Midsummer Festival" so "lively" and prone to problems.

Misaka Mikoto did not travel with the other two because she had a performance to prepare for.

Instead of disturbing her, Misaka Mikoto did her best to help her adjust her state and eliminate the influence of the external environment...

"Oh dear, just what I feared has come true..." Suddenly, Misaki Shokuhou couldn't help but facepalm.

A group of five people, consisting of one man and four women, were walking towards them.

Misaki Shokuhou knows them—the "Gadgets" quartet, and their unofficial member, Shiage Hamazura.

"This is troublesome..."

Behind Misaki Shokuhou and Toumi the Tiger Bee is an area of ​​the dormitory that is not open to the public.

Misaka Mikoto and the other students who needed to perform on stage were there changing clothes, putting on makeup, and making various preparations.

You could say that's where the backstage is.

It's well known that Mugino Shizuri and Misaka Mikoto don't get along, so if the two of them were to get together... it's really hard to imagine what kind of sparks would fly.

Perhaps because they are both Level 5, Mugino Shizuri and Shokuhou Misaki's relationship can't be considered good; at most, it's not as tense as Misaka Mikoto's.

"Leave this to me, you go and handle the other matters first," said Tomiko Hoshino. "Junko Hoshino is already here, she will protect you from now on."

“Then I’ll leave this place to you,” Misaki Shokuhou nodded readily. “You also need to be careful.”

"Don't worry, they won't suddenly start fighting for no reason," Tiger Bee said.

"..." Misaki Shokuhou rolled her eyes. "Anyway, I'm counting on you."

After saying that, she turned and walked up the stairs leading to the second floor.

Tiger Bee, after reaching out to the honeybee, took the initiative to approach the group of "props".

"It's Senior Tiger Bee!" Kinuhata Saiai greeted first.

“Tiger Bees Piercing Honey.” Mugino Shizuri stopped and carefully examined the girl in front of him.

The tiger wasp, not to be outdone, glared back.

“I just saw ‘Mental Control’,” Mugino Shizuri asked. “How did she escape?”

“Because there are many other things to deal with,” Hu Feng Toumi said, “we have to get there as soon as possible.”

As he spoke, Tiger Bee, with his honey-penetrating hand, reached out to block the path of the "props" group.

"This is a closed area for visitors. Please stop here." Surprisingly, Mugino Shizuri actually stopped walking forward and turned around.

"Then forget it," Mugino Shizuri said. "We've seen enough of the sights and are getting bored, let's go back."

Takitsubo Riko and Frenda had no objections, only Kinuhata Saiai hesitated slightly before saying, "I have something to do and would like to have a brief chat with Tora-senpai, so..."

"Let's chat then." Mugino Shizuri nodded, then walked to the side, leaving space for her and Tobi-bi to talk.

"Huh?" Kinuhata Saiai was taken aback.

Mugino Shizuri leaned against the windowsill, running her hand through her hair, then seemed to suddenly realize something: "Or... should we leave first, leaving you with all the time and space?"

"No, I don't need to!" Kinuhata Saiai quickly shook her head.

After spending so much time together, Kinuhata Saiai had figured out her leader's temperament and personality. Since she had already pointed it out, she couldn't really keep it from her anymore.

"Well, actually I don't really care that much," Mugino Shizuri said, but he didn't move an inch.

Because Tomiko is on Lin Wuming's side, and the two of them were the heroes who saved Kinuhata's beloved hero in the "Dark May" plan.

Even now, Kinuhata Saiai still feels grateful to Lin Wuming.

Therefore, Mugino Shizuri felt it was necessary to keep a close eye on things to prevent his colleagues, with whom he had worked for more than two years, from leaving without explanation.

Kinuhata Saiai certainly had no intention of switching jobs, so she didn't care about Mugino Shizuri's observation.

“It’s like this, Tiger Bee Senior,” Kinuhata Saiai said, “I would like to ask you to help me with an experiment.”

"experiment?"

“Yes, I want to test the strength of my nitrogen armor.” With that, Kinuhata Saiai took a bottle cap out of her pocket and held it between two fingers. “I will use the nitrogen armor to apply super protection to this bottle cap, and then I will ask Tiger Bee to attack it.”

Just as Kinuhata Saiai said, she wanted to test the limits of her "nitrogen armor's" defensive capabilities.

Mugino Shizuri's "Atomic Collapse" goes without saying, and his mere "Nitrogen Armor" certainly couldn't stop it.

The other Level 5s—except for Mental Mastery, who isn’t good at direct combat—are the same; it’s obvious without even testing that they can’t be stopped!

Otherwise, there would be no need to categorize superpowers into different levels.

Therefore, Kinuhata prefers to focus her attention on Level 4 Ability Users. As far as she knows, among Level 4 Ability Users, the most lethal in terms of attack power is undoubtedly the "Absolute Penetration" Tiger Bee Honey.

"Huh? Why do something like this?" Franda couldn't help but ask. "In the end, it seems to be meaningless, doesn't it?"

"Perhaps it's because of the recent missions that Kinuhata felt challenged?" Takitsubo Riko said, "That's why she wants to seek a breakthrough and become stronger."

Tiger Bee didn't think too much about it. She nodded readily and took out a ribbon from her pocket: "Let me know when you're ready."

“It’s ready.” Kinuhata Saiai nodded.

Before he could finish speaking, a bolt of black lightning shot out from the hand of the tiger bee, Toumi.

Almost simultaneously, Kinuhata Ai felt her nitrogen armor being penetrated.

When I looked at the bottle cap in my hand, I realized that it had been pierced, leaving a thin, long cut.
