Temperature Control in Academy City

A guy with a bun on his head sighed suddenly. Those days were already very busy.

She also seemed to see Misaka-senpai and Shokuhou-senpai confronting each other, but then the two of them started to act together.

This time, the memory was not as useless as he had imagined. Instead, it made Natsume suddenly stunned.

If things went according to Shokuhou-senpai's current plan, this kind of tit-for-tat situation shouldn't have occurred. Something must have happened in between that Natsume-san didn't know about.

The scene where they acted together might be the time to deal with the mastermind, because she seemed to have vaguely seen some enemies.

Natsume tried hard to recall, as if trying to extract more information from his soul's memory, but the picture suddenly stopped.

"What a shame! It would be nice if we could see the person behind this."

Although he was almost certain that Shokuhou-senpai could find the ultimate mastermind, Natsume-san felt that it would be more proactive if he knew it earlier.

Perhaps only when Natsume sees the so-called mastermind with his own eyes will he be able to remember him.

Even if you heard the other person's name or something, you might not have any impression of it at all.

"Right, if that's the case."

At this time, Natsume threw away all the worries in his head, and his mind became active. He opened his mouth slightly and seemed to suddenly realize something.

Shokuhou-senpai can have her plans, and so can Bun-hair, who is also at level 5. As long as it doesn’t affect Shokuhou-senpai’s plans, it’s fine.

Natsume feels that she can either serve as Shokuhou-senpai's secret weapon or conduct the investigation secretly on her own since no one else can discover her anyway.

It seems that I have figured out something. Natsume is just too honest. Girls like this will suffer in Academy City.

"The primary goal of the plan is to ensure the safety of Misaka-senpai and the Misaka sisters, so that it doesn't matter even if Misaka-senpai doesn't know."

It seemed that a compromise had been found, and Natsume showed a wise smile on his face.

"The second goal is to find the mastermind, and the third is to defeat the mastermind."

After a little thought, Natsume divided his plan into three parts, which seemed reasonable and convincing.

However, the plan only developed to the goal stage, and new problems arose when we really wanted to formulate it.

The first step is easy to solve, that is, you and Lingzi keep an eye on them separately, which is no different from the original.

As for the subsequent problems, they are difficult to deal with. Natsume's talent for making plans seems to be stuck.

After thinking for a long time, I only came up with one idea, which is to wander around Academy City more often, but this conflicts with the first step.

I still suffered from the lack of ability.

Natsume is far inferior to Shokuhou Misaki in terms of obtaining information. She can obtain any information under psychological control, and she is not like Misaka who can easily get information from the Internet.

It can be said that the channels through which a certain bun-head can obtain information are very narrow, and this time there is no one to help collect information together.

You can't expect to make your computer or your head explode with the heat.

"Maybe we can just sit back and wait."

Natsume-san seemed to have thought of something again, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

Since we can't find the other party's trace, just wait for them to come to us.

But this doesn't seem to be any different from Shokuhou-senpai's previous suggestion of just carrying on with business as usual and not doing anything for the time being.

.....

"I did receive that email. It was delivered by the Daihaxing Festival Operation Committee."

Sitting upright with his hands folded obediently on the long table, a girl with a bun on her head looked a little nervous.

It finally came. I received this ambiguous email early this morning, inviting me to be the oath-taker in the Daibaxing Festival.

In the academic office of Tokiwadai Junior High School, Mr. Nagasawa, who was affectionately called the principal by the students, was sitting across the long table with a kind smile on his face, talking about something.

Natsume-san had a strong premonition that Misaka-senpai had been called here before, and sure enough, it would be his turn soon.

Although it was not the first time I entered the office, the atmosphere inside was still more or less depressing.

Instead of chatting with the teacher here, Natsume would rather go to the playground to sweat out his youth. Perhaps this is a manifestation of his love for sports.

Speaking of sports, Natsume doesn't hate it anymore.

"Do you have this intention, Natsume-san? I personally highly recommend you to go. After all, you have not demonstrated your abilities to the public yet, and everyone should be very curious."

This school supervisor had a stronger aura than his own dormitory supervisor, but he was not as fierce as the dormitory supervisor and always had a gentle smile on his face.

Chapter 254: Clingy

I received an email from the operation committee early in the morning, inviting two superpower people to take the oath at the opening ceremony of the Daiba Star Festival. Then I was called into the school to be asked some inexplicable questions.

According to Natsume Sonoko's original idea, she should now fill the vacancy left by Shirai's injury and conduct all-round and full-time close observation of Misaka-senpai, instead of sitting here and discussing issues such as the oath-taker's wishes with the teacher.

Really, there are so many people in Academy City, why do we have to find someone with super powers?

A certain girl with a ball-shaped hairdo has no idea that a person with super powers is a representative of the middle school students in Academy City. Instead, she feels that there are more and more troubles. Only the scholarship can comfort Natsume's fragile heart.

Natsume hates the feeling of being the center of attention. He feels uncomfortable all over, as if he has lost his sense of security in an instant. Fortunately, this situation is only limited to the school garden.

It has been a while since he became level 5, but Natsume has not gotten used to it as he thought. Instead, he feels more and more stressed.

As the oath-taker at the opening ceremony of the Daihasei Festival, not only would one have to face everyone in Academy City, but the event would also be broadcast live to the whole world. This was simply a nightmare for a certain bun-haired girl.

"Thank you very much for the teacher's recommendation, but I still want to refuse."

After thinking for a short while, Natsume Sonoko's face suddenly became determined, and she looked at the teacher opposite with sharp eyes.

This is the look on Natsume's face when he has made up his mind. It is basically difficult to change his decision in this state.

Natsume was determined to stick to his guns and didn't give any ambiguous answers like "think about it" but firmly rejected the invitation this time.

When Natsume thought about himself standing on the podium, his determination became stronger.

"That's such a shame."

Teacher Nagasawa shook his head and looked a little disappointed.

"So which one do you recommend between Misaka-san and Shokuhou-san? Then you have to choose between the two of them."

Mr. Nagasawa's tone became softer at this time, and changed from a discussion-like tone to a normal conversation, as if he wanted to hear Natsume's opinion.

Tokiwadai Junior High School has three level 5s, but the two oath-takers needed this time cannot both be selected from Tokiwadai Junior High School, so one has to be chosen from three.

"This one? I recommend Misaka-senpai."

After thinking for a moment, Natsume-san answered seriously.

Both Shokuhou-senpai and Misaka-senpai are very nice, but Natsume Sonoko feels that Shokuhou-senpai is not someone who would be willing to participate in this kind of activity. She doesn't even attend physical education classes.

On the contrary, Misaka-senpai is not only versatile in sports and excellent in all aspects, but also has a carefree personality, which is very suitable.

"Misaka-san? Speaking of which, the people from the Daihasei Festival have already approached her, and she didn't express a clear rejection."

The school supervisor nodded, accepting Natsume's suggestion.

After leaving the office, Natsume Sonoko silently closed the door and an expression of relief immediately appeared on her face.

"Misaka-san, even though it's just a one-time cooperation, I will definitely do my best."

Rarely without a fan in her hand, the married senior stood on the track in the playground with a red face, a leg wrap tied on her right foot, while Misaka senior was turning around to warm up on the other side.

"After the marriage, I'll leave everything else up to you."

After finishing the warm-up exercises, Misaka-senpai turned around and said encouragingly.

"No problem, just leave it to me. I won't let down Shirai-san's request."

Nodding vigorously, the married senior sister is still full of energy today.

By the way, ever since Shirai-san was hospitalized, there has been no one to partner with Misaka-san in the three-legged race, but now we have the help of the married senior.

"Natsume-san, I'm here."

A female voice was heard from a distance. It was the voice of Hanakaiin, the partner of a girl with a bun. They were also registered for the three-legged race by the school.

"Sorry, I'm late. The teacher just called me for something."

With a more or less apologetic look on his face, the guy with a bun explained something and then took out the leggings from his pocket.

...

"Speaking of which, Natsume-san seems to be a little off today."

Putting her schoolbag on her shoulders, Misaka-senpai stared at the slightly strange junior schoolmate beside her with some concern, thinking something in her mind.

Today is the first day for the students to leave the school, and there are hardly any other students around.

The staff in charge of the entrance and exit management of the school garden were also somewhat used to it. These two Tokiwadai superpower users were always much more idle than other students, and would run outside as soon as school was over every day.

The taller one always likes to go to the game hall to play video games in his free time, while the shorter one either goes shopping or goes to the convenience store underground to buy comics.

Although they seem to be doing nothing, they are all good girls.

"Dip, verification passed."

She skillfully opened her schoolbag and took out her ID, skillfully swiped her card, skillfully greeted the administrator, and walked out with brisk steps.

Although there are some things on my mind, I should be happy after school, and my mood value will increase by five at this time.

As soon as I walked out of the school garden, a security robot passed by with a whistling sound. The built-in camera turned several arcs and was checking the information of the people.

"Misaka-senpai, where are we going next?"

Natsume-san has a dull look on his face, and it's hard to tell whether he's in a good or bad mood.

A certain girl with a bun-like haircut is meticulously carrying out her plan, staying by Misaka-senpai's side, and waiting for the enemy hiding in the dark to appear.

Sit back and wait, Misaka-senpai is the one in the plan.

As the two of them moved forward, the heat radar in Natsume's head was working at full capacity, observing the activities of the people around them.

If that Anbu "personnel" or the mastermind behind the scenes really wants to do something bad to Misaka-senpai, Natsume Sonoko will be able to discover it first.

Even Reiko is the same, always following the Misaka sisters.

During this period, I can only reduce Lingzi's free time a little bit, and buy some more snacks to reward him next time.

"Zero, how is the situation over there?"

"Everything is normal. Misaka 9982 is making new dishes. Report completed."

It seemed as if Natsume was talking to himself, as he was always aware of the situation on both sides.

"Don't you have any plans for today, Natsume-san?"

Slowing down her pace a bit, Misaka-senpai asked curiously.

I have an inexplicable feeling that Natsume-san seems to be particularly clingy today.

Chapter 255 Forum

Maybe it was just my illusion. The person next to me was obviously Natsume, and Kuroko was still under observation in the hospital.

As soon as she finished speaking, Misaka-senpai showed a slight hesitation on her face, wondering if she had been too nervous and sensitive recently.

A lot of things have happened recently, and my nerves are indeed a little tense.

The days that were once ordinary now seem particularly precious.

"What are your plans for today?"

Natsume Sonoko floated by with a thoughtful voice, answering the questions of the people around her seriously.

It took her a while to figure out what to do, because she really had no plans.

If I wasn't taking care of Misaka-senpai's affairs, I would usually either stay at home in the dormitory or look for things of interest everywhere.

By the way, maybe I can go visit Shirai-san again, even though that guy will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow.

"Today's plan is to follow Misaka-senpai."

Natsume used his brain and combined it with reality, and finally came to a more reliable conclusion in his head, but it seemed inappropriate to say it out loud.

“Actually, I’m quite free today.”

Although I thought of a lot of things, my answer was simple. Natsume Sonoko is a concise person.

Before I knew it, I had walked more than 200 meters away from the entrance and exit of the school garden, but I could still see fully armed security personnel and security robots around me.
