Temperature Control in Academy City

"Only Kuroko can appreciate Onee-sama's charm. After all, Kuroko is a mature adult."

It seems like some meaningless words have been inserted, so just ignore them gracefully.

"But Phibrey seems to like Saten-san very much."

Misaka-senpai said with emotion, doubting her own charm for the first time. Could it be that she was really not popular with children?

"It's getting late, so I'll take care of Phibbery tonight."

Saten carried Phoebe on her shoulders and soon fell into a deep sleep.

"There's nothing we can do. I'll have to ask Saten-san for help today." Shirai-san nodded.

Under the dim yellow light of the street lamps, the two groups began to separate, and today Saten had to temporarily take care of the lost Phoebe.

Because of the strict dormitory management, the Tokiwadai trio was not in a position to bring Phoebe to the Tokiwadai student dormitory.

On the way back, Misaka-senpai suddenly remembered something and looked a little excited as she held up a bottle of drink that Natsume-senpai had just bought.

"Natsume-san, did you win any prizes? There are promotions for these drinks recently, and you can win a limited edition Quata fingertip doll." Senior Misaka said in a loud voice.

Senior Misaka has an obsession with Quata that is far beyond that of ordinary people, and Natsume Sonoko has long been accustomed to it.

Speaking of gifts for buying drinks, some small things did fall out of the vending machine just now.

“Is this it?”

Natsume Sonoko took out a small object tightly wrapped in plastic from her pocket and handed it to Senior Misaka.

"What a pity! I got the green quack with a 1 in 15 chance of winning instead of the pink quack with a 24 in 10 chance of winning."

Senior Misaka's enthusiasm and excitement immediately dissipated, and she put Kwata away with some disappointment. It seemed that the green Kwata had been collected by Senior Misaka.

Back in the student dormitory, Natsume Sonoko brushed her teeth and washed her face as usual, and then helped Reiko brush her teeth and wash her face.

Although I haven't been to Misaka Apartment, I'm pretty sure the situation there is clear. The Misaka sisters' cell adjustments have been going on for a while, and no unexpected situations have occurred.

The only thing that worries Natsume Sonoko is Misaka-chan, but Misaka No. 9982 said that Misaka-chan regularly backs up her memory in the Misaka network, and is getting along pretty well with the white-haired guy, and will also monitor the progress of Misaka-chan's cell adjustments.

However, the accommodation conditions at Accelerator's place were somewhat unsatisfactory.

With her eyes closed, Natsume Sonoko lay motionless on the sofa.

Part of his thoughts went to Lingzi and began his daily accelerated research, and he fell into a deep sleep after an hour or two.

Up to now, Natsume has focused his research on thermal-kinetic conversion.

The topic of thermal-dynamic conversion is too complicated, and Natsume is still at the stage of optimizing the existing formulas.

Natsume is not planning to continue studying other elements for the time being. Just figuring out the two elements of copper and iron is a very large project.

In particular, Natsume Sonoko was still thinking about how to extract energy from these two substances. Her ability seemed to come from this subtle level.

Chapter 197 Wanting to Be Popular

Summer has been over for many days, and the climate in Academy City has begun to cool down. The high temperature has finally left here.

However, the school uniform change season is probably in the last few days of September, and now everyone is still wearing summer school uniforms.

This doesn't have any effect on Natsume. She can still go out in her summer school uniform even in sub-zero temperatures.

At daybreak, the alarm beside my ear began to vibrate wildly, and someone had frozen the striker of the alarm clock.

Natsume Sonoko's head was buried in the bear pillow, and there were more and more things in the pillow, almost catching up with the 'killer bear' on Misaka-senpai's side, but there was definitely no contraband.

A hand took out a candy and put it into the mouth. The guy with the ball head opened his eyes with a confused look. The taste seemed a bit strange.

Due to the intermittent deterioration of his sense of taste in the morning, Natsume quickly closed his eyes dully and went back to sleep.

As a master of time management, the guy with a bun estimated that he could still stay in bed for about 20 minutes, as long as he left before the warden came to check on him.

Twenty minutes passed in a flash. She got up on time as usual, went to the cafeteria to have breakfast when there were fewer people around, said goodbye to her classmate Shigefuku who was about to leave on the school bus at the school gate, and then Natsume Sonoko set out on her way to school.

After a few unpleasant experiences, Natsume has given up the idea of ​​taking the school bus to and from school.

She didn't have the habit of drinking coffee or eating dessert on the school bus. She usually just looked at the scenery through the window.

But after reaching level 5, Natsume Sonoko could no longer enjoy the scenery quietly, so she thought it would be better to go to and from school alone.

Natsume Sonoko got off the white cylindrical vehicle at the gate of the school garden, cancelled her invisibility and returned to normal, took out her ID card and swiped it at the entrance.

Processes such as swiping the card are indispensable and will be directly recorded in Natsume's attendance record.

"Good morning, Natsume-san."

A girl from Tokiwadai who was passing by greeted Natsume Sonoko.

"Good morning." Natsume Sonoko didn't know the girl, but still answered politely.

They have already entered the school garden. There are people coming and going and there are surveillance cameras everywhere, so it is not easy for Natsume Sonoko to hide in public.

Fortunately, Tokiwadai Junior High School is not far from the intersection of Gakusha-no-en. Although it attracts a lot of attention along the way and there are occasional girls who come up to say hello, it is within a tolerable range.

The troubles of becoming famous are sometimes quite frustrating. People are afraid of becoming famous just like pigs are afraid of getting fat, which is a true portrayal of someone's current situation.

Before she knew it, Natsume Sonoko had joined the ranks of Tokiwadai's senior sisters.

Speaking of the impact of level 5 on Natsume, apart from the increase in scholarships, the only thing is the various troubles brought about by the increased influence.

"Is it her? I almost forgot that she is also a student in the School Garden."

While walking on the road, Natsume Sonoko's eyes narrowed slightly and she found a not-so-familiar acquaintance.

A girl with her head lowered and a violin case in her hand was walking alone behind a group of girls from the private Shidaezakura Academy. Her bangs covered her beautiful eyes, and the ponytail on her head kept rising and falling as she walked.

The girls from the Shidaezakura Academy in front were all talking and laughing, but this girl was the only one who seemed like a lone bird away from the flock.

However, judging from the vague look in that girl's eyes, she seemed eager to join the group of weeping cherry girls and leave.

But he was too hesitant to speak. He caught up with the team several times and wanted to join but gave up every time.

"Look, isn't that person Tokiwadai's temperature control? He's just as short as the legend says, and he has a bun on his head."

A group of girls wearing the school uniform of the private Shidare Sakura Academy were talking in low voices, observing Natsume Sonoko not far away as they walked.

"Really? Maybe she started school at a very early age. I heard she's only twelve years old, and she's a real lady from a famous family."

"The eighth person with superpowers, and he is the third level 5 in Tokiwadai. If I had known this, I would have applied for Tokiwadai as well."

“Although he is a superpower, he looks really small.”

Several girls from the Weeping Sakura Garden were whispering to each other, and their companions beside them nodded in agreement.

Because of the appearance of the third person with super powers, the reputation of Tokiwa Private Junior High School almost surpassed all other famous schools, and even various information about Natsume began to circulate in the Academy City.

"Hey, she seems to be coming towards us."

As they were talking, the girls from Shidaezakura Academy suddenly became nervous and noticed that a girl with a bun was walking towards them.

Although Natsume Sonoko looks unimpressive, weak and lacks movement, the bonus of lv5 itself makes up for it.

Several girls from the weeping cherry trees thought that their conversation might have been overheard by the other party. For a moment, they were at a loss and inexplicably felt guilty.

According to rumors, most of the level 5s in Academy City have strange personalities and are difficult to communicate with. I don’t know if this new psychic has similar problems.

It’s so scary. What should I do if I’m targeted by someone with super powers?

However, Natsume Sonoko stopped a few meters away from them and looked at the weeping sakura girls with strange expressions with some confusion.

Why is everyone looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?

Natsume Sonoko touched her face, but there was clearly nothing.

Without paying attention to these inexplicable things, a girl with a bun on her head has already caught up with the archery tiger hunter senior in front.

"Archer-senpai, what a coincidence."

Natsume Sonoko reached out and patted the somewhat absent-minded bow and arrow hunter.

Even though this senior belonged to the Anbu and had inexplicably shot him, she had helped him a lot last time after all, so he had to at least say hello when he met her.

And Natsume Sonoko also discovered that Archer Tiger had some social problems, and perhaps she could help her a little.

I really wanted to join in the conversation with those weeping cherry girls, but I was very hesitant.

At this moment, the Archer Hunter trembled all over, her bangs slightly spread out to reveal a pair of extremely happy eyes, and her face became tense.

Great, someone took the initiative to talk to me.

As expected, I have become popular, and I am one step closer to becoming a school idol.

How should I answer? You are also a little cooler.

Who is behind this?

Would I be too informal in my attire today?

"What a coincidence! I know there is a poem that describes a chance encounter..."

Archery Tiger Hunter turned around, thinking about the rest of the conversation as he spoke, and then he saw Natsume Sonoko's dazed face.

The originally joyful expression immediately disappeared, and Archer Tiger Hunter tried hard not to say the following words.

The joy was immediately dispersed by a chill, and the bow and arrow hunter's head became a mess.

Although he was very happy that someone took the initiative to talk to him, it would be a different situation if the person who spoke knew his identity as an Anbu.

What will she do? Tell me and get expelled from school?

Bow and Arrow Tiger Hunter was thinking about some bad things in her mind. Her experiences always made her like to associate things with the bad side.

"What verse?"

Natsume Sonoko was immediately drawn to Bow and Arrow Tiger Hunter's words, and asked with her head tilted.

"Nothing." Archer Tiger Hunter shook his head hurriedly.

"I see. Thank you so much for the last time, Senior. I really didn't notice that penguin man."

"By the way, if you are free after school today, we can go out for dinner together. It's my treat."

After hesitating for a while, Natsume Sonoko spoke to the archery senior with a somewhat sincere tone.

"Dinner, invite me?"

The bow and arrow hunter's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at someone in surprise, and a different emotion appeared on his face again.

It turns out that he was not planning to report me, but to invite me to dinner. Did I become popular?

"Well, it's the family restaurant on Queen's Road, how about 4:30."

"Ok."

His mind became even more confused, and Archer Tiger Hunter nodded after a while.

"Then it's settled."

And shortly after Natsume Sonoko left, Archer Hunter followed the girls from the private Shidarezakura Academy in a daze.

"Mr. Gongjian, it turns out that you know the eighth person, and you have such a good relationship with him."

At this time, a girl from Shidarezakura Academy came over curiously.

"Well, actually, I'm not familiar with her..." Archer Hunter Tiger was about to explain when he suddenly realized that another classmate seemed to be talking to him.

Chapter 198: Unpalatable Candy

The gate of Tokiwadai Junior High School was quite lively, with some girls wearing armbands with the word "preparation" gathered there.

There were some unused banners piled up nearby, and a large wooden billboard leaning against the wall of the teaching building.

Several posters have been posted on the bulletin board at the school gate, and an event called the Daiba Star Festival has officially entered the preparation stage.

In the second semester of every school year, Academy City holds a large-scale sports festival.

All students must compete as a school unit in an environment where they can use low-intensity abilities.

During the festival, Academy City will be open to the public for a rare time. Television stations will also broadcast the events, and parents of students, various media, and some unrelated people will be able to enter Academy City without any obstacles.

A girl with a bun walked past the busy school gate, and her originally good mood became chaotic and complicated.

Natsume Sonoko sighed secretly in her heart. Has the time come again? It really makes her unhappy.
