Temperature Control in Academy City

"Can you help me then?"

Natsume Sonoko hesitated for a moment, then her expression became determined.

"Okay." With his brows relaxed, Sogiita Gunba nodded and said.

"It's actually not a big deal."

"Since there are speeches by student representatives at the opening ceremony, it is normal for singers to perform..."

Natsume organized his words carefully and said something a little fanciful.

She plans to write a proposal letter to the operating committee of the Daihasesi Festival, suggesting that Senior Minghuo perform at the opening ceremony of the Daihasesi Festival. Natsume-san is an expert in this area.

It's an opening ceremony anyway, so it should be the same if you think about it.

But the problem now is how to get the operational committee members to agree, and the best way is to bring in these student representatives.

"The Daihastar Festival is a sports event, so the format of the opening ceremony is different from the space elevator, garden party, etc."

Senior Misaka said in surprise that her junior schoolmate seemed to have come up with some new idea.

Is it really okay to hold a concert at the opening ceremony of a sports meeting?

"Sign your name on the letter of recommendation? I see. No problem."

With his hands folded in front of his chest, Sogiita Gunba thought for a few seconds.

Although he was just wondering whether he had seen the Tokiwadai girl before, but when he heard that it was to help his friend realize his dream, he agreed without hesitation.

Sitting in a seat close to the stage in the broadcasting room, Natsume Sonoko was thinking about the contents of the letter of advice, staring absentmindedly at the security team that took Letili away.

Through satellite phone, several people on the magic side had a series of mysterious negotiations with the top management of Academy City.

Although Letilie is technically a member of the magic side, in the end, it was handed over to Academy City.

As a price, Academy City seemed to have paid something as well.

Taking his eyes away from Letili, Natsume-san was not very concerned about the prisoner's condition.

Even though I knew her in my previous life, that person was not me. Natsume Sonoko was just doing what she thought was right.

No matter what kind of punishment Letili will receive later, Natsume thinks it is normal. After all, if you do something wrong, you must be punished.

Speaking of which, Natsume has always been using his own values ​​to judge whether things are right or wrong.

Fortunately, this value is in line with everyone, especially a certain discipline committee member who has a strong sense of justice.

Time passed, the sky began to darken, and it was dinner time at Tokiwadai Junior High School.

However, due to the strange changes in the sky that had just occurred, the maids did not have time to prepare dinner.

As a result, Natsume-san and Misaka-senpai both received email reminders on their mobile phones to postpone their meal time.

It was a little different from when we came up. When we went down in the space elevator, it was very stable and Natsume was in the mood to enjoy the scenery outside.

Because of what Letili had done, the opening of this unprecedented spectacle would be postponed indefinitely until all parties had fully processed the space elevator.

In other words, Natsume's sightseeing trip on the space elevator was ruined, but fortunately he had just been up there once.

As the core figure in solving most problems, the guy with a meatball head did not encounter the various inquiries and investigations as imagined.

On the one hand, the security officers handling the case did not know where the magic was, nor did they know the specific events that happened on the space elevator. On the other hand, their task was only to control the space elevator and the Star Track Gate Society, and to capture the person in charge, Letili.

As for the cold light that suddenly appeared in the northern hemisphere, no specific explanation has been given within Academy City, and it is still an unknown event.

Going down along the space elevator, Natsume once again leaned on the glass, looking at the darkening sky outside.

The train, which was originally capable of carrying hundreds of people at a time, still only had the two of them as passengers.

In fact, Natsume is quite curious about how Academy City will explain this incident.

Aurora or something?

But don’t auroras only occur in the South Pole or the North Pole?

"I'm so tired. Luckily tomorrow is Saturday."

Without thinking too much about the problems facing Academy City, Natsume couldn't help but sigh. Today was really tiring.

When leaving the space elevator, they met Kamijou-senpai and Index who had arrived late. The electric car with a speed of 25 kilometers per hour finally completed its mission.

Kamijou-senpai looked a little embarrassed, as if he had been bitten by some ferocious creature. His head was wrapped in gauze, and some faint tooth marks could be seen.

"It's over now, great."

Looking at the sky returning to normal and the guards everywhere, Kamijou Touma couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"By the way, about what happened yesterday, why did Stiyl attack Alyssa?"

Remembering something again, Kamijou Touma hurriedly explained to a certain bun-haired guy that he had promised yesterday to find out the reason for the attack.

“Well, but I already knew that.”

Tilting his head, Natsume-san said honestly.

Chapter 299 The Existence of Barriers

The impact of this incident is unprecedentedly huge. Order has not yet been restored on the streets. Vehicles are parked randomly along the way, blocking traffic and causing public transportation to be paralyzed.

There was no bus back to District 7, and even the tram had stopped running.

Apart from pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles, which are less affected by traffic, there are no other means of transportation that exceed 25 kilometers per hour.

After saying goodbye to Kamijou-senpai and the others, Natsume-san, who had just solved this serious incident, was looking around carefully.

Finally, they found a few cleaning robots wandering around on the roadside, and Natsume pulled his senior sister onto this convenient means of transportation.

No matter how harsh the situation is, the cleaning robot will not disappoint you as long as it is used in conjunction with light refraction.

"Great, everyone is okay."

"Is this true? It turns out there is such a large underground facility under the school garden."

The electromagnetic waves transmitted the sound, and a smile from the heart appeared on Natsume's face.

Sitting on a white cylinder, Natsume, who was as transparent as a ghost, was busy calling everyone she knew.

This incident not only covers Academy City, but also covers the entire Neon, so Natsume also contacted everyone outside Academy City one by one.

The same thing goes for Misaka-senpai, whose entire body is transparent and she is busy contacting other people, and now they have become the Tokiwadai Ghost Girls duo.

Accompanied by the sudden laughter in the air and the faint voices of girls communicating.

After leaving the nearby shelter, several students passing by suddenly got goose bumps. They thought of some urban legends they had heard before and couldn't help but quicken their pace.

Today's Academy City is still not boring.

"Oh, and there's also Senior Archer."

Natsume couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and suddenly realized that he didn't have the contact information of that senior.

Natsume doesn't know how to get along with the senior who works in the Anbu.

For two people from different worlds, perhaps the best way is to keep distance.

After returning to the familiar place from the 23rd School District, Natsume and his partner found Shirai and the others near the underground shopping mall.

As soon as I stepped off the white cylinder, the first thing I saw was Senior Minghu, who was surrounded by a crowd and singing a new song.

With singer Alisha back on the streets, life seems to be returning to normal again.

...

There is a speed called Academy City's reaction speed.

Less than an hour had passed since the incident was settled, and dinner at the Tokiwadai student dormitory had not even been prepared yet.

Various news websites have come up with different explanations for the strange light that suddenly appeared in the sky.

However, these explanations are generally similar and should all be instructions from the higher-ups in Academy City.

The more mainstream one is that the staff of Star Track Gate Society conducted an antimatter experiment in the space elevator without official authorization, which led to an unpredictable experimental accident.

Letil, the actual controller of the Stargate Society, has been officially arrested by Academy City, and the space elevator will be reopened to the public after all safety hazards have been completely eliminated.

Natsume, a student who loves to stay at his phone, took out his ID card while looking at his phone.

I don’t know when it started, but Natsume-san rarely uses his eyes to see the road.

Putting his cell phone in his pocket, Natsume, who had already returned to his dormitory 210, did not want to comment on these statements.

Because as one of the insiders, I know that there is no antimatter experiment at all.

Although photons and gamma rays are indeed produced when matter and antimatter annihilate each other, they are somewhat different from what just happened, and there would not be such a neat halo.

It is too difficult to explain magical matters with science, which is why Academy City did not release the news through its official media.

However, there is another theory that the unnatural substance extracted from the second person mutated during the experiment.

This even more outrageous statement has received support from many people.

"I am back."

Waving at the teddy bear on the sofa, Natsume-san planned to bury his head in the sofa and have a good sleep as soon as he came back.

But he hasn't taken a shower yet and it's time to eat soon. After going through a lot of things today, Natsume still managed to cheer himself up.

After closing the door and blocking out all the troubles and problems outside, Natsume finally felt relieved.

Just find a plastic box in the box and put your white stone trophy in it. This is Natsume's new collection.

As for the spoils seized from the magical girls, they are now kept by the Discipline Committee 177th Branch.

Stuff your summer school uniforms into the last unused public washing machine.

Natsume changed into his new school uniform, half-crouched beside the washing machine, and stared at the clothes rolling inside in a daze.

Although he was busy outside all day, Natsume's clothes were still very clean. It's just that someone with a slight obsession with cleanliness has to change his clothes every day.

On the contrary, it was Misaka-senpai's school uniform that could not be worn at all. The uniform was yellowed by the flames. If she wore it outside, she would be called to the office by the dorm supervisor the next day.

"Speaking of which, what exactly is that perception?"

Once he had some free time, Natsume finally had time to think about the strange state he had entered in the space station.

Only things that are closely related to oneself will make a girl with a bun so concerned.

In fact, as long as he can enter that microscopic world, Natsume will have more room to exert his abilities, and his combat effectiveness will increase exponentially.

This improvement is a revolutionary thing for Natsume. He no longer needs to collect various experimental data miserably and then develop deeper abilities through trial and error.

Just like the atomic collapse data collected from the dark department of 'study' before, as long as it enters the microscopic world, the difficulty of development will be reduced by more than half.

She has the perception that can detect the microscopic world around her, which is much more powerful than Kamisaki Kaori's eyesight that can easily see the scenery six hundred meters away.

“Maybe it has something to do with the soul.”

After coming up with an answer that seemed almost reliable, Natsume felt that it was necessary to re-examine his own soul.

Natsume is different from everyone else, she can sense the existence of souls.

Perhaps this is what makes Natsume-san special from the very beginning.

But it seems that there is a vague gap between the soul and Natsume, because under normal circumstances, a person should not be able to sense her soul.

Because of this barrier, although consciousness can move back and forth between the brain and the soul, the two are clearly separated.

The biggest evidence is that the memories on both sides do not affect each other, but can flow into each other. Natsume has been extracting memories from the soul to the brain, but has never tried the reverse.

If it's just because of her identity as a time traveler, such differential treatment is too disgusting.

"Because this soul does not belong to me alone, or my soul does not belong to this world."

There was a brief silence, and Natsume was puzzled by these seemingly plausible things.

And the strange sense of familiarity that suddenly appeared seemed to indicate such a problem.

She didn't know whether she had encountered such a problem in her previous life, but Natsume was somewhat concerned about it.

Does that special perception come from one's own soul, or is it the power inherited from one's previous life?

Thinking of this, Natsume felt that she needed to contact that Letili again. She suddenly wanted to know more about the past.

"Natsume-san, you are doing laundry too."

The sound of footsteps rang out on the smooth marble floor, and a girl with wet hair draped over her shoulders and bangs sticking to her forehead squeezed over.
