Temperature Control in Academy City

"What are you thinking about suddenly?"

Misaka-senpai asked with some concern.

"Nothing, I just felt like I've seen that person somewhere."

Natsume-san said in a rather pedantic manner, his eyes still fixed on the beautiful gothic girl on the screen.

Back at the Tokiwadai dormitory, Natsume-san pulled out his ID card for his daily sign-in, while Misaka-san used his fingerprint and iris for verification.

I'm not used to this rigid feeling, although it wasn't much better to begin with.

Natsume-san can only hope that the dorm supervisor will cancel this annoying rule after the Daihasei Festival is over.

Chapter 267 Soul

The sky was full of stars again, and the heavy footsteps of the matron's ladies' leather shoes came from far away, making a clattering sound as if some terrible creature was gradually approaching.

The footsteps seemed to stop in front of the door of dormitory 208 next door, and after a while, the sound of knocking on the door was heard from the other end.

Ever since Misaka-senpai was caught hiding various prohibited items last time, and since she has not returned home overnight many times, the dormitory supervisor has stepped up the intensity of dormitory inspections in Dormitory 208.

Although my own dormitory 210 is not as strict as that of Senior Misaka, I have recently been listed as a key observation target by the dormitory supervisor.

A guy with a bun-haired head who heard the noise swallowed his saliva, and with a slightly nervous expression, quietly waited for the footsteps of the dorm supervisor to gradually fade away.

"That's great. The dorm supervisor didn't come today."

A happy expression immediately appeared on her face, and Natsume Sonoko couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Having already changed into pajamas, Natsume couldn't help but stretch himself, and his entire body felt numb.

Even without what happened at night, a whole day of physical education would be exhausting.

Following some massage techniques he found on his phone, Natsume rubbed his calves diligently, trying to relieve his body's fatigue and warm himself up for a new day's battle.

All he had to do was hold on for a few more days, and when the teacher allowed him to use his abilities or the Daihasei Festival came, Natsume decided to float around in the competition and secretly amaze everyone.

"But what exactly is that feeling?"

Natsume-san didn't use any question marks, he just muttered.

He took out his phone and looked up some information about the president of the Star Track Gate Society.

She was wearing Gothic-style clothing, long blond hair, and a small top hat on her head.

Moreover, he is only ten years old and only about 1.35 meters tall.

She is much shorter than Natsume, rounded off to almost 1.5 meters tall.

By the way, if students at Tokiwadai Middle School were allowed to wear whatever they wanted, Natsume-san would also like to try out clothes like this.

After stuffing the phone into the teddy bear's belly, Natsume spread his arms and lay back, sinking deeply into the sofa.

The sides of the sofa are made of metal, and lying in it gives you a mysterious sense of security. As long as you cover it with a blanket, you can't tell that there is someone lying in it.

His two big eyes were wide open, staring at the ceiling motionlessly, and after a while he revealed a sleepy look.

I don’t want to think about it anymore. Maybe I can find an opportunity to meet with the president.

Natsume turned over with her arms under her head. The place that had been pinched red by Kamijou Touma not long ago had long since returned to its original whiteness.

Looking at his arms, Natsume rubbed his eyes and seemed to have thought of something.

Is there such a thing as a soul in this world, or is it unique to me?

And if the soul is something like an illusion, then my soul might have been shattered the moment I came into contact with Kamijou-senpai.

Or is it a relationship where the soul cannot be touched through the body?

Still couldn't figure it out, so he just put it all aside. Natsume felt that he already had a lot of worries and there was no need to add more.

Although nothing bad happened, Natsume still decided to keep a safe distance from this senior to prevent any unexpected situations.

.....

"Have you heard that Alyssa has been invited to perform at the opening ceremony of the Space Elevator? A press conference will be held today."

"Is there such a thing? I remember he was just an ordinary street singer."

Passersby could be heard whispering in his ears. Natsume-san was on his way to pick up Shirai-san from the hospital. To be more precise, he had just walked out of the gate of the school garden.

What happened in the leisure corridor eventually became just gossip on the urban legend website, while the more popular news was still about the space elevator and the Daihastar Festival, which incidentally increased the popularity of senior sister Minghu.

But today, we can no longer see the high school girl singing and bringing happiness to others on the streets.

She casually stopped a white and free vehicle. Natsume Sonoko seemed to have something on her mind. Her body gradually became transparent and she sat upright on the vehicle.

Originally, I should be carrying out my waiting plan and staying close to my target, but things have changed.

Senior Ming Hu just received an invitation from the "Star Track Gate Society" yesterday. Today she needs to go to the company's residence to sign the contract, do her makeup, and hold a formal press conference, and then perform on stage the day after tomorrow.

Although I don't quite understand why the schedule has to be so tight, I can't say that other people's efficiency is a bad thing.

I heard that Mr. Yomikawa was supposed to accompany us today, but she was urgently transferred to the Security Headquarters to report on the elimination of the "Science Society", so she had to temporarily ask her good friends Tesso Juuri and Tsukuyomi Komoe to help.

And he has always been worried about a certain railgun of Senior Naruto.

As soon as I learned that there was a press conference today, I made a phone call to inquire, and then hurried to meet up with Senior Minghu and the others.

Although she said she was going to be a cheerleader for Naruto-senpai, she was actually still worried that this senior would be attacked again.

Before leaving, I asked Natsume-san to have Natsume Sonoko pick up Shirai-san from the hospital first, and then meet at the headquarters of the "Star Track Gate Society".

However, Natsume thought of the familiar feeling he had yesterday and felt that he really needed to go to that company and see the beautiful Gothic-style girl president with his own eyes.

Sitting on the fast-moving white cylinder, Natsume couldn't help but tilt his head, almost imagining Shirai's disappointed face.

I had been expecting my elder sister to smile like a gentleman, to lead me out of the hospital hand in hand, and for the two of us to bask in the warm sunshine together, but in the end, my elder sister threw herself into the arms of another man.

Based on Natsume-san's understanding of movement in a certain space, he would most likely think so.

When they arrived at the hospital, Natsume Sonoko explained why Misaka-senpai was not there, and Shirai-san's actions and reactions were exactly as she had imagined.

A hint of dullness appeared on Shirai's elegant face at the right moment, and the whole person seemed to have been emptied of his soul, with his head drooping weakly.

"The doctor said that Shirai-san can be discharged from the hospital now, but he will need to use a wheelchair instead of walking for about half a month."

As soon as he arrived at the hospital, Chuchun repeated what the doctor said, which was basically not much different from the initial diagnosis.

"I understand." Natsume nodded.

"Natsume-san, can we go to Alyssa's signing ceremony as well?"

Saten-san, who was standing beside her, had a look of anticipation on her face and said with her hands clenched.

"Of course. Misaka-senpai has already called and asked, and she said that everyone is welcome to come." Natsume Sonoko recalled and said affirmatively.

Chapter 268 Doll

Falling last among everyone, the guy with a bun-like hair slowed down his pace slightly.

Natsume Sonoko raised her hand unconsciously and combed her bangs. Her eyes were wide open, looking at Shirai-san who was five steps away with great concern.

Shirai-san's wheelchair has been making a creaking sound since twenty seconds ago, as if some parts were loose. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that it was Shirai-san's teeth rubbing against each other.

I don’t know when she developed this problem. It’s really a headache.

'Stargate' is a company that produces various aerospace equipment. The 'Orion' that crashed three years ago was the work of this company.

Because of that incident, the company faced bankruptcy, and was later acquired by the current president of the Pretty Girl Company.

If it was three years ago, the president would have been only seven years old.

Before I knew it, I had arrived at the 23rd school district, only a few kilometers away from the building of the aviation company, which was home to a famous aviation family.

Likewise, there is only a street between us and the headquarters building of the "Star Trails Gate Club", and we can see Misaka-senpai and her group from afar.

It seemed that he had witnessed Misaka-senpai chatting happily with someone else, and the more they talked, the more excited they became. The sound of grinding teeth in Natsume's ears became clearer and harsher.

The wheelchair that was originally pushed by Saten disappeared, and along with it, a certain spatial movement also disappeared, attracting the attention of the people around.

"Shirai-san is so cunning that he actually went there alone."

There was a hint of joy on Saten's face as she was about to meet her idol, but when she noticed that the girl with the brown twin tails suddenly disappeared, she began to get excited.

Although Saten-san and Shirai-san have different goals, they all seem to be very anxious.

"Natsume-san, what kind of person is Alisa?"

Hatsuharu looked at Saten's anxious back, turned around and asked the girl with the ball-head, with a hint of curiosity on her face.

"How should I put it? I think she's an optimistic girl who likes singing. Oh, and she works hard too."

Natsume-san thought for a moment and said.

She and Alyssa had only known each other for a short time, but she thought that she sang very well and had a likable personality, so Natsume was willing to be friends with her.

"Really? You're indeed someone who can sing like that." Hatsuharu nodded, seeming satisfied with Natsume's answer.

In front of the Star Track Gate building, some reporters who came to interview also poured into the square in the main hall of the building and were busy setting up various filming equipment.

Suddenly a wheelchair fell from the sky with a whistling momentum, rolling up the fallen leaves around it.

The wheelchair staggered a few times before finally landing next to Senior Misaka.

At this time, a girl with brown twin ponytails had already pounced on Misaka-senpai and tightly hugged the railgun's neck.

"My elder sister didn't come to pick me up from the hospital. Heizi is so sad."

With a hint of grievance in her tone, Shirai-san said unwillingly.

When turning to look at Senior Sister Minghu, Shirai Kuroko began to look her up and down, then glared at her menacingly.

"Okay, Heizi, this time it is indeed my fault. I apologize to you."

Senior Misaka looked a little embarrassed, then struggled to break free from Shirai's arms and pressed her down into the wheelchair.

Senior Misaka doesn't have any good way to deal with some of her junior's actions.

Although these can be considered as some ways of expressing friendship, being too enthusiastic can be overwhelming.

"Misaka-senpai."

I heard some noises in the distance, and when I turned around I saw that Natsume and a few others had come over.

After a meeting that was like a celebrity meeting, Misaka-senpai introduced Saten-san and others to Naruto Arisa.

At this time, next to Senior Minghu, Teacher Tetsuzo, who was wearing a security vest, also looked a little excited and seemed to be a fan of the singer Alisa.

On the contrary, the accompanying teacher Xiao Meng looked very businesslike, but was almost ignored due to her height.

"Natsume-san, long time no see."

Teacher Xiao Meng had a happy look on her face, and it seemed that she liked this little student quite a lot.

"By the way, Mr. Xiaomeng, how is Senior Himegami doing recently?"

Natsume-san remembered something and asked with some concern.

She still remembered the senior schoolmate she had met before, and she even gave her a few boxes of meatballs.

"Since Ji Shen transferred to our class, I have taught her well. Now she is my good helper in the class."

Speaking of this, a happy expression appeared on Teacher Xiao Meng's face.

Go up along the sightseeing elevator and you can see the magnificent space elevator from afar through the glass.

"Miraculous Senior, aren't you nervous at all?"

Saten Ruiko took a deep breath and looked at Naruto Arisa who looked calm beside her.

Although I am not the protagonist today, I seem to be more nervous than the protagonist.

"Of course I'm nervous. It's embarrassing to say this, but if you guys hadn't come with me, I might still be wandering outside for a while."

Senior Minghu spoke softly with an embarrassed smile on her face, and looked no different from an ordinary girl.

“It turns out singers get nervous too.”

"Of course, singers are ordinary people too."
