Temperature Control in Academy City

Even if there is a tiny possibility of restarting, she will destroy all those possibilities.

In order to hinder the progress of the experiment, Misaka-senpai destroyed more than a dozen research institutes in a row and even risked her life to fight with Accelerator.

"OK then."

Natsume Sonoko nodded dully, as if she was an emotionless nodding machine.

"But Misaka-senpai, I remember you were shopping with Shirai-san before, right?"

As they walked, Natsume asked with some concern.

I still felt something was not right, but I reluctantly accepted the suggestion made by Misaka-senpai.

The girl with the bun on her head actually cares a lot about that guy named Shirai, after all, he is her useful tool.

When I injured my calf, Shirai would take me to and from school almost every day, and I also liked to ask her for help when I had something to do.

"Heizi she?"

Misaka-senpai was suddenly dazed.

"We were shopping in the store earlier, and Kuroko suddenly received a call from Uiharu, and then she said she had work to do with the Discipline Committee and left in a hurry."

As she spoke, Misaka-senpai's face became inexplicably irritated.

The work of the Discipline Committee? Could it be the robbery case just now?

It's impossible. How could such a coincidence happen?

And while tracking the user of spatial abilities, Senior Misaka also called Shirai Kuroko, and it seemed that everything was going well with her work.

As she was thinking, Misaka-senpai's pace suddenly quickened, which made Natsume Sonoko beside her even more confused.

Misaka-senpai was really weird today.

Chapter 238 Alyssa

I feel weak all over, and my few muscles are still sore. I have been struggling these days relying on clumsy massage techniques.

Unable to help but twist her ankle, Natsume Sonoko's body relaxed slightly, and a small stream of air attached to her body, reducing her weight and the pressure on her feet.

Walking on the way back to the student dormitory, Natsume Sonoko couldn't help but turn her head to Senior Misaka beside her, and she couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Did something happen to Shirai-san?

However, Shirai is a discipline committee member and also has the ability to move through space, so even if Maruko-hair wants to take down that annoying guy, it would be a bit tricky.

"Heizi, where are you now?"

The call finally got through, and both of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that nothing was wrong with Shirai.

Misaka-senpai, who was already very worried, hurriedly asked the person on the other side of the microphone, her face full of nervousness.

"Onee-sama, Kuroko is working right now. I don't know the exact location."

Shirai-san paused at this point.

"Although the work is almost finished, there are still some things to be tidied up here, so I won't chat with Onee-sama for the time being."

From the other side came the voice of Shirai-san, still with that familiar young lady-like tone, but she was usually more intimate when facing Misaka-san.

"So that's it, I know."

"Then Yuanzi, let's go back to the student dormitory first."

After hanging up the phone, Misaka-senpai waited for several seconds before turning around and looking at Natsume Sonoko.

"Ok."

There was a dazed expression on her face. Natsume rarely heard Misaka-senpai call her "Sonoko". She usually used a more formal name.

Natsume can be very serious sometimes, but she actually doesn't reject this kind of intimate name. Index and Phoebe both call her that, and Banri also calls her Sonoko-sister.

Speaking of Banri, she and Harukami have both transferred to the first year of Kagawa Junior High School.

However, due to being in a coma for several years, his grades are worse than those of ordinary students. But with the help of Hatsuharu and Harukami, he has now caught up.

As for Harukami, he is currently attending the discipline training camp. He had just moved out of Hatsuharu's dormitory and was living in the same dormitory with Banri.

A strong wind blew up from the ground, stirring up the fallen leaves. There seemed to be a faint singing voice in the wind.

The strong wind was enough to blow up the girls' skirts, causing damage to several girls not far away. However, they suffered an immediate defeat when facing the Tokiwadai Psychic Combination, and not even the corners of their clothes were blown away.

Natsume-san floated above the ground like a ghost, with his feet suspended a millimeter in the air to avoid stepping on ants or something.

"I seemed to hear someone singing."

Natsume had always had very sensitive ears, so he looked around in some surprise.

On this road that leads straight to the 'building without doors and windows', walk two blocks ahead to the outer dormitory of Tokiwadai Junior High School in the seventh district.

I heard that the chairman of Academy City lives in that strange building, but no one has ever seen this person in any occasion, as if he does not exist.

Under the shade of a tree on the roadside stood a girl wearing a casual long dress and jeans, with a skullcap with a bird logo on her head.

The distance was too far to see his face clearly, but he should be around fifteen or sixteen years old.

In front of her are microphones and speakers commonly used in street performances. The electronic keyboard she uses is equipped with a computer, which can not only load the sounds of various musical instruments, but also record the playing sounds in real time.

In front of these equipment, there are some neatly arranged CD disks and a notice board with the name 'ARISA'.

CD disks are no longer popular in Academy City, but there are always enthusiastic music lovers who buy them, just like Natsume likes to collect various comics.

Even if I have read it online before, I can't help but buy it when I see a single volume. Then I put it in a box and don't know when I will take it out and read it again.

Originally, Natsume planned to eat a snack in the park and then go to the convenience store or underground shopping mall to take a look.

Although the scholarship after reaching level 5 has not yet arrived, there is still a sufficient amount of deposit in my bank card.

"Alyssa, that sounds great."

As they walked, Natsume Sonoko began to mutter to herself.

Compared to the most popular "Yi Yi Yi" songs on the Internet, this song by Alyssa is surprisingly worth listening to.

"Is Natsume-san interested in Alisa?" Senior Misaka asked absentmindedly.

"Not really, I just heard Hua Kaiyuan mention it before."

Shaking his head, Natsume-san said honestly.

A student dormitory in Tokiwadai School District 7.

Perhaps as the Daihastar Festival approaches, the dormitory supervisor has become more strict in his management of the dormitory.

Although there is no need for facial recognition to enter and exit the student dormitory, you still need to confirm your identity with your ID or fingerprint every time you enter and exit. Then the list of people returning to their rooms will be displayed on the screen in the lobby near the warden's office.

This situation of having to punch in and out every time you enter or leave might continue until the end of the Daihaxing Festival, or maybe it will be noticed by the warden and implemented all year round. There is really a sense of tension as if a storm is about to come.

Not to mention the suddenly strict student dormitory, the Academy City also began to increase the number of guards on daily patrols due to the Daihasei Festival.

Especially near the school garden, the number of autonomous security robots has almost doubled, and even the number of security robots in the dormitory has begun to increase.

"Shirai-san hasn't come back yet."

Following Misaka-senpai to the dormitory supervisor's office, Natsume and Sonoko carefully checked the list of students who had returned to the student dormitory and found that Shirai's name was not on the list.

There is a path leading directly to the restaurant from the lobby of Tokiwadai.

Just like what Misaka-senpai said, a large three-layer cake was prepared in the restaurant today, but because we arrived a little late, the top layer of the cake was already empty.

"Sorry, Natsume-san. I suddenly remembered something important."

Natsume took out the portion for two people from the big cake and placed it full on the dining table.

But before they had started eating for long, Misaka-senpai spoke apologetically.

Chapter 239 Serious Injury

There is some cream along the lips and a sweet and smooth touch around the teeth. The cake named Mrs. Martha contains the most exquisite cooking skills of the maids.

After swallowing a piece of delicious cake, Natsume Sonoko suddenly became a little absent-minded. Even the sweet taste couldn't make her concentrate again.

"Natsume-san, is today's cake not tasty?"

Tsuchimika came quietly to his side, holding the empty coffee pot in her hand.

Unlike the usual happy smile she always put on when eating, Natsume-san seemed quite distracted today and didn't even notice that there was some cake on her face.

As a little maid who came to Tokiwadai Junior High School for field study, Tsuchimikado always looks carefree.

This student dormitory located in the seventh school district is not their only study place. Tsuchimika Tsuchika and her classmates usually travel between Tokiwadai Junior High School and the two subordinate student dormitories, so it is not every time that they can see this little maid here.

"Tsuchimikado-san, could you keep these cakes for me? I'll come back later."

Putting down the cake knife in his hand, Natsume's head suddenly turned half a circle mechanically, staring at the little maid.

"Why did you suddenly ask me to keep something?"

Tsuchimika noticed the serious gaze coming towards her and hesitated for a second. Although she didn't know what was going on, she nodded in agreement.

If it was the Natsume classmate I knew, she should have encountered something that made her unable to eat.

"Thank you very much."

With a grateful look on her face, Natsume Sonoko pulled Tsuchimikado's hand and then hurriedly chased in the direction where Senior Misaka had left.

"Misaka-senpai, Shirai-san, are you there?"

I ran up to the second floor and arrived at dormitory 208 in a blink of an eye.

Natsume Sonoko knocked gently on the door, but there was no echo from inside.

However, Natsume picked up a fallen game coin at the door of dormitory 208.

I looked at the pattern on it and it was from the game hall that Misaka-senpai often went to.

The Tokiwadai student dormitory is often cleaned, and the garbage left in the morning would not remain until now. It should be that Senior Misaka came back to the dormitory and took away some game coins.

Although Natsume-san is not as good at reasoning as Shirai-san, this is something she can figure out with just a little bit of thinking.

Just when she was about to call senior Misaka, Natsume Sonoko suddenly heard a sound of someone falling from the dormitory, followed by a muffled gasp.

"Is that Shirai-san? Are you okay?"

Hearing some noise, Natsume Sonoko hurriedly knocked on the door again.

"What's the matter with you? I'm taking a shower now! You fell down and it hurts so much."

Shirai-san's suppressed voice could be heard from the room, as if she was enduring some pain.

"I'm sorry, but was Misaka-senpai back just now?"

There was a hint of apology on his face, but even the slow-witted Natsume could hear something was wrong.

"Onee-sama took some things and went out. Okay, you guys should stop bothering me if you have nothing to do."

Shirai-san's temper was no different from usual, but he seemed to be a little more irritable than usual.

"If you need any help, you can always come to me."

After lingering at the door for a while, Natsume finally put down his arm that was knocking on the door.

At this time, images began to gather in Natsume's head, covering the area around him like invisible ripples.

Not wanting to intrude on other people's privacy is a matter of basic courtesy, so Natsume rarely uses the thermal sensor outside of his dormitory 210.

With the ability to sense heat, Shirai-san in the room has nowhere to hide.

Based on the various data fed back from his head, Natsume began to construct a rather vague image of the room in his head.

Not only the human body, but even the placement of various furniture can be observed by Natsume.

It’s just that these objects or buildings are relatively close to the ambient temperature, so Natsume generally doesn’t spend extra computing power to restore them.

I met a penguin man before. He used some materials to wrap his body to keep it at about the same temperature as the ambient temperature.

As long as the skin is in tight contact with this material, coupled with its excellent thermal insulation properties, it is enough to squeeze the heat that the human body involuntarily emits back into the body, and even sweat cannot be discharged smoothly. This is how it avoided Natsume's observation for a while.

"The temperature on the forehead was about 0.8 degrees Celsius lower than usual, and the body seemed to have been bandaged."
