Temperature Control in Academy City

"Hello."

She rarely sits with such dangerous people, but it would be different if Shokuhou-senpai was around.

The main reason is that I don’t know the specific identity of the other party, otherwise I wouldn’t be as polite as I am now.

Putting down the tea in her hand, Natsume sat up straight, trying to maintain her good ladylike demeanor, but the cream residue at the corners of her mouth looked particularly eye-catching.

This dessert is really delicious, but is it okay for Shokuhou-senpai to eat such a high-calorie food? She already has a belly full of fat...

I silently rejected the following thought. Even though Shokuhou-senpai wasn't holding the remote and couldn't read my mind, it was still rude to think that way in front of her.

"Natsume-san, you seem to be thinking about something rude?"

Noticing that Natsume-san was glancing at her belly intentionally or unintentionally, Shokuhou-senpai couldn't help but look thoughtful.

"Nothing."

Her face turned red instantly, and Natsume Sonoko quickly shook her head and said.

The tea is over thirty years old and tastes somewhat similar to the one I drank at my senior sister's place after marriage. They should both be very good black teas.

However, Natsume's tongue is an exception. It can only distinguish between low sugar and high sugar. It is a pity for her to drink this kind of black tea.

"So, Shokuhou-senpai discovered that the ANBU called 'personnel' was investigating the sisters, and she tried to stop them while trying to find the mastermind who gave the 'personnel' the mission."

There is also a strong sweetness in the mouth. Sweetness represents sugar, and sugar represents energy.

A certain girl with a bun-like haircut listened carefully to the advice from Shokuhou-senpai and made an appropriate summary based on her own understanding.

"That's about it. Natsume-san is really smart." Shokuhou-senpai had a gentle, ladylike smile on her face.

"As far as I know, the intermediary of 'Personnel' issued a commission from the 'Academy City Council'. I found out through some special methods that this commission does not exist, but was forged by someone."

"And judging from the information that has been obtained so far, it seems that the other party has the intention of 'obtaining' the sisters."

Having said that, a rare look of seriousness appeared on Shokuhou Misaki's face.

"oh, I understand now."

Natsume nodded. She almost understood Shokuhou-senpai's plan, but she was still a little surprised.

In her memory, the contact between Shokuhou-senpai and the Misaka sisters still remains on that night when she asked Shokuhou-senpai to modify the sisters' memories.

However, Natsume became quiet again at this time, because the memories from the indescribable place began to become coherent.

These are the last piece of her soul's memory about the world of Magical Index, the incomplete memories of A Certain Scientific Railgun T.

Natsume only remembered that he did not finish watching the entire plot when he traveled through time.

Of course, these were also told to her by her soul memory, and all the information about her past life came from it.

He did not read those memories in front of Shokuhou-senpai, and he didn't even have the mind to read them because he knew that they would be fragmented and useless pieces again.

Chapter 252 The World of Senior Grades

This time the conversation finally developed into a tea party. Shokuhou-senpai smiled and picked up the teapot to fill the cups in front of the three people again.

The hot black tea began to steam again, and the crystal clear ripples swayed before my eyes.

Having just finished dinner in the student dormitory, Natsume began to stare at the cup of tea in front of him in a daze. After a while, he began to sip it in small sips, imitating Shokuhou-senpai.

At this moment, Natsume's head was filled with Shokuhou-senpai's words.

Although he cannot confirm their authenticity, Natsume-san is willing to believe it.

Maybe there is a connection between Shokuhou-senpai and Misaka-chan that I'm not aware of.

Just like myself, wasn't I also involved in that plan for some illusory soul memories?

"And what Natsume-san is most concerned about is Misaka-san's problem."

Shokuhou-senpai reached out her hand and brushed back the long hair that covered her eyes. The star-shaped lines in her eyes sparkled.

"Just like we said before, in addition to interfering with the judgment of the 'personnel' and the mastermind, there is actually a plan to divert the other party's attention to Misaka-san."

"The reason why I chose Misaka-san is simply because she is the most suitable person. A personality like Misaka-san is really easy to attract other people's attention, which is very helpful for my plan."

Shokuhou-senpai blinked her big eyes, and there seemed to be a hint of sincerity between her brows.

"Actually, it's because the relationship between Shokuhou-senpai and Misaka-senpai is not so good."

She silently complained in her heart. Natsume Sonoko also heard about the bad relationship between the two of them, and even the two parties involved expressed their disapproval of it.

Natsume sometimes wants to make their relationship a little better, but everyone has a strong ego and opinions, and it's not easy for them to change their views, which is really a headache.

Closer to home.

Under the current circumstances, sooner or later, Misaka-senpai will run into some trouble, which makes people have to pay attention.

Although I should strongly condemn this inappropriate behavior, I can't get angry when I see Shokuhou-senpai's slightly sincere face.

Natsume-san had a look of dilemma on his face, like the ham caught in a sandwich.

Sure enough, once faced with these troublesome seniors, Natsume-san became a little overwhelmed.

Is this a struggle between girls? The world of seniors is really complicated.

Although Senior Misaka is at level 5 and has strong combat power, people with super powers only belong to that realm when they activate their abilities, and the gap between them and ordinary people is not that big at other times.

Once the brain is damaged or paralyzed, even superpowers are powerless, except for a certain hot-blooded guy who is included in the ranks of superpowers but is actually different from ordinary people.

Thinking of this, Natsume-san was still a little worried.

"And it's best not to tell Misaka-san about this until you find the person behind it."

Shokuhou-senpai stretched out her hands in a negative gesture, and immediately revealed a serious expression.

Based on a very simple logic, Shokuhou-senpai does not trust Misaka Mikoto as much as she trusts a certain bun-haired girl.

This trust does not mean that he thinks Misaka-senpai will do something like leak information, but simply believes that a certain railgun will ruin his plan because of his recklessness, alerting the mastermind behind the scenes in advance.

In Shokuhou-senpai's mind, this Certain Railgun of Tokiwadai is almost synonymous with being simple-minded. It's really a simplistic and rough evaluation.

Although they are both at level 5, Shokuhou-senpai cannot read the memory of a certain railgun, but can read that of a certain bun-head.

Natsume-san looks very powerful, but he doesn't have much resistance in front of a psychic system ability user. The ones mentioned here must be psychics with the same level of computing power.

However, the users with psychological abilities are almost the same in front of Natsume. The battle can often end in the first time. It just depends on who moves faster.

"Well, actually..."

A certain girl with a bun seemed to want to defend Misaka-senpai.

Although Misaka-senpai has a carefree personality and often does shocking things, and even has childish tastes in underwear, and can be happy all day for the rare Quata finger gloves, she is indeed a person who can be trusted.

"It's already an exception to tell Natsume-san about these plans so early. Before everything is investigated thoroughly, the fewer people who know about these things, the better."

Shokuhou-senpai shook her head and took a sip of her tea elegantly.

"I understand."

Natsume was inexplicably frustrated when he found that he couldn't change Shokuhou-senpai's mind at all.

"If we eventually find out the whereabouts of the mastermind, we can bring Misaka-san in, but I still feel a little uneasy about working with that guy."

However, at this time, Shokuhou Misaki was muttering something to herself, and from the beginning she unceremoniously placed a certain railgun in the position of a tool.

The tea party ended with the discussion between the two girls, with the blond foreigner acting as a background.

Natsume was surprised to discover this sneaky foreigner, and then found the place in front of him which was Shokuhou-senpai's temporary base.

After Shokuhou-senpai revealed her plan, a certain bun-haired girl took the initiative to request and gloriously became Shokuhou-senpai's new partner.

When it comes to things related to Misaka sisters, Natsume is always very enthusiastic.

However, as a partner, she didn't need to do anything. Shokuhou-senpai told her to attend the Daihasei Festival honestly. In short, everything remained the same.

"Natsume-san is my secret weapon. If it's a secret weapon, then it must be a surprise. Everything as usual is the best cover-up."

Shokuhou-senpai had a smile on her face and reached out to rub the balls on Natsume-san's head.

"Secret weapon?"

Natsume Sonoko nodded, not quite understanding.

Even though Shokuhou-senpai had modified all the evidence, it was not foolproof.

Now that it is known that people with the ability to modify memories exist in Academy City, many eyewitness evidences are not % credible, and even ubiquitous surveillance and satellite positioning are factors worth guarding against.

With all the unfavorable factors stacking up against each other, it is unpredictable what reaction the other party will make.

The sky had already darkened, and before I knew it, it was already very late.

Natsume finished his cup of black tea and then hurried to the student dormitory.

Since they sneaked out, they had to sneak back in. Natsume already had a lot of experience in this regard.

"You seem to treat your junior schoolmate very differently. I thought the relationships between people with super powers were all bad."

The blond foreigner who had been sitting upright without even taking a sip of the tea in front of him suddenly asked.

"Have it?"

Her face regained its dignified look as she adjusted the white gloves on her hands, which were stained with tea at some point.

"Maybe it's because we all love sweets?"

Shokuhou-senpai blinked her eyes in a playful manner, and the stars in her pupils became brighter and brighter.

...

Windows and doors are both passages to the outside world, and Natsume never favors one over the other.

With one hand on the edge of the glass window and the other hand holding the windowsill, Natsume climbed in from the window skillfully, brushing off the non-existent dust.

I looked at the time and there was still more than an hour before lights out, so I came back just in time.

Reiko had also returned to the Misaka Apartment a long time ago. While Natsume was eating French pancakes and drinking black tea, Reiko was busy trying the food of Misaka No. 9982.

It doesn't reach the extreme level of being called dark cuisine, and the charcoal-grilled tenderloin doesn't turn into charcoal. It is just so-so for beginners.

"Come to think of it, Misaka 9982 hasn't watched any cooking shows lately."

Natsume sighed a little and thought that it must be the contribution of other Misaka sisters. The Misaka network is really very convenient.

Chapter 253 Plan Pass

Lying comfortably on the sofa, his body seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, Natsume was thinking about something with his eyes open.

Even though I had just promised Shokuhou-senpai, I still felt awkward no matter how I thought about it.

This dilemma made Natsume Sonoko toss and turn. She didn't know what to do. Her brain was not as adept at handling these things as the operating ability formula.

Shokuhou-senpai's reasons were very convincing, and even Natsume-san found it difficult to refute them. In fact, even she herself had the idea of ​​not telling Misaka-senpai.

The wreckage incident happened just yesterday and Shirai was seriously injured as a result, but today Misaka-senpai is involved in a new incident again. Natsume thinks Misaka-senpai may not be able to accept it.

But if I don't tell her, Misaka-senpai might be in danger.

When Natsume-san starts to grumble, it's even worse than Shirai-san, and he seems to have lost all his energy.

But he suddenly sat up from the sofa, and Natsume thought of the soul memory that had gradually recovered.

I didn't read it immediately at that time, but now it seems to have become a tool for Natsume-san to divert his attention.

Some scattered memories seemed to be connected into a straight line, and Natsume seemed to see himself sitting in front of the computer.

But at that time, my image was too blurry, even my back could not be seen clearly, it was much blurrier than the silent films of ancient times.

Natsume is very open-minded about that illusory past life.

Anyway, I can’t remember anything anymore, so just live my new life peacefully.

Memory is the source of pain. It is a blessing not to remember.

In addition to that back view, Natsume's memory of A Certain Scientific Railgun T also came into view.

It seems that the memories were connected together because of Shokuhou-senpai's plan, so the memories that appeared were also related to these plans.

Intermittent, disorganized, but interconnected.

"So the plot of A Certain Scientific Railgun T takes place during the Daihasei Festival."
