Temperature Control in Academy City

But once she is happy, her true colors will easily show. How deep can a little girl have any thoughts?

"By the way, isn't Shirai-san here?"

Looking around, Natsume realized that someone seemed to be missing. No wonder the atmosphere around him was a little dull.

"Heizi went to the hospital for a follow-up visit."

"One more thing, I met my sisters today."

Misaka-senpai lowered her head and said thoughtfully.

"So that's how it is. What's the problem, sisters?"

After a moment of hesitation, a guy with different thoughts asked tentatively.

As one of the people in the know, Misaka-senpai almost only talks about her sisters with Natsume-san.

Although Shirai knew a little bit, she just didn't say it out loud. Both of them had too many things on their minds and chose to keep them to themselves.

The last wreckage incident was a similar situation, so communication is very important.

Even Natsume, who thought he saw through everything, seemed to be caught in this strange vicious circle.

Because we care a lot about it, we tend to think too much when considering the problem, and then a vicious circle emerges.

"No, the doctor said they are recovering well and will be able to finish the treatment in a week or two. From now on, they will be fine as long as they have regular checkups."

With her attention diverted, Misaka-senpai seemed to have forgotten that her parents were being interviewed, and a smile appeared on her face.

Among the Misaka sisters, Natsume seems to have become more popular than herself. Thinking about it this way, Misaka senior is actually quite shocked.

By the way, I also talked about Natsume with Misaka sisters. What impressed them most was the scene where a girl with a bun-like hair knocked out a member of Misaka team without any hesitation.

He was so polite one second, and the next second he knocked everyone out and took them away. He was simply like a devil.

The Misaka sisters also seem to have been influenced by a certain bun-haired girl's weird theory, that the meaning of life is meaningless, and some of the Misaka sisters have become lazy and slack.

"That's good."

Tilting her head, Natsume-san thought that Misaka-san had discovered something wrong.

Even though she promised Shokuhou-senpai not to tell anyone, there was nothing she could do since Misaka-senpai had discovered it herself.

Moreover, Natsume still feels a little pressured about hiding some things from Misaka-senpai, because he feels that she should know the situation that Misaka-san is facing.

A few days have passed since the wreckage incident, and Shirai's injuries have begun to slowly recover.

Misaka-senpai is no longer as depressed as she was during that period, and has come out of her self-doubt.

It shouldn't be too hard for her to accept if I tell her this now, but there's another problem with Shokuhou-senpai, which is really a headache.

And what makes Natsume-san most uncomfortable is the bad relationship between Misaka-senpai and Shokuhou-senpai.

I don’t know why, but Shokuhou-senpai is the only one who is not nice to Misaka-senpai, even though both of them have good personalities and many friends.

Then I can put aside the matter of looking for Letilie and investigating a certain bad website. It would be better to find time to talk to Shokuhou-senpai first.

Having said so much, in fact, Natsume’s mind is not on these things at all now. She is just waiting for the phone in her hand to ring.

The first priority right now is just to pick up a lady whom I often see on video calls but haven't actually met in years.

Other very important things also become less important.

From this, it can be seen that it is easy to go wrong if you give some important things to a person with a small head, or at least there is a possibility that the priority will be squeezed out. Fortunately, everything has been going well so far.

“My phone is ringing.”

Suddenly, she cried out in surprise and Natsume hurriedly picked up her cell phone.

He suddenly opened his eyes wide, looked at the incoming call message very carefully, and suddenly became excited.

"Misaka-senpai, I have something to do and I'm leaving now. See you tonight."

His mind was completely distracted, and he didn't even look closely at his senior's surprised expression.

A reckless classmate named Natsume soared into the sky, and took off directly while standing.

However, the skirt was still firmly pressed against the thighs, and the figure disappeared in a second of flying.

Okay, the ace pilot officially appears.

As one of the most powerful weapons in Academy City, Natsume-san quickly reached high subsonic speed and stabilized.

Due to some reasons, Natsume is unable to use supersonic speeds, that is, speeds above Mach 1, on a regular basis.

Natsume's current formula is not able to provide continuous propulsion to keep the speed above supersonic.

If you want to accelerate to supersonic speed in a short period of time, you can do it if you give it your all, but Natsume will also encounter big problems.

The speed that the human body can withstand is actually infinite, because no matter how fast you go, the relative speed of the various organs in the body is still zero.

The same principle applies to taking an airplane, a train, or a space shuttle.

What the human body cannot withstand is actually acceleration, of course this is under the condition of gravity.

Once Natsume speeds up too fast, his body will be the first to be unable to bear it.

Even if the acceleration is restricted, it will still be a heavy burden on Natsume's body.

Because he is facing these undeveloped areas, Natsume is unable to accurately control the changes in his own acceleration, which can easily cause irreversible damage to his body.

"That one over there, is that the cutest Miss Sonoko in the world?"

With some lighthearted laughter, a pleasant female voice came from the other end of the phone that Natsume picked up.

It's somewhat similar to Natsume's voice, both of which are soft and powerless, although a certain bun-haired girl has recently learned to intimidate her enemies with words without mercy.

"Although it's not the cutest in the world as you said, it's almost there."

Normally, Natsume would not accept such blatant compliments, and would usually respond with something like "it's not that good", but there are exceptions to everything.

Chapter 314: Reunion

A seemingly ordinary girl with a bun actually has a heart that aspires to be an idol.

But because he is so outstanding, he is currently a well-deserved powerful person, ranking eighth among the student representatives of Academy City.

Natsume was overwhelmed by the sudden praise and felt a little flattered. He had no resistance to praise from his own mother.

However, Natsume still possesses excellent flying skills. He accurately avoids obstacles around him and maintains a stable high subsonic speed.

One of Natsume's character traits is that his state is greatly affected by his mood, but at the same time he remains quite rational.

However, if he gets injured, according to Natsume's endurance, there will be an immediate risk of a plane crash, of course, except for nosebleeds.

As they flew, a building without doors or windows began to appear in their sight. Natsume took a closer look out of curiosity.

The building is all white and over 100 meters high. The upper edges of the building tilt inward to form a prism-shaped top.

Come to think of it, Natsume is actually a little scared of this building.

As the residence of the chairman of Academy City, there is no telling how many secret weapons of Academy City are hidden inside. It is the most mysterious place in the Seventh School District and even in the entire Academy City.

If combined with the various bizarre rumors on the Internet, its deterrent level will soar to a higher level.

Sure enough, it’s better to fly farther.

The most powerful weapon in Academy City made the decisive decision to stay away from them.

Natsume felt that there might be a way to break his invisibility in this building, and he might be being monitored by something.

So Natsume chose to be polite, even if the other person was just a building.

We must always maintain a certain level of awe and vigilance towards entities that we have no intelligence about or that we have sufficient intelligence about but cannot defeat.

"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly silent?"

There was something strange on the other end of the phone.

"I just saw a big obstacle and it took me a while to get around it."

Natsume-san replied with some concern, a hint of seriousness on his face.

"So that's it."

"Xiao Yuanzi, on the way here today, I specially picked out a gift for you. It's your favorite teddy bear doll."

The female voice on the other end of the phone seemed to have thought of something and immediately became happy, as if she was very proud of the gift she had chosen.

In order to choose a suitable gift for her daughter, she had to separate from her new friends and go to a nearby toy store to choose for a long time.

"Hey, I remember the last gift was also a teddy bear. And I started liking teddy bears a long time ago, probably when I was in fifth grade. Now I'm in junior high school."

Natsume was slightly stunned, feeling that this gift was somewhat familiar, and couldn't help muttering to himself.

Although that’s what she said, a certain girl with a bun on her head was actually quite happy.

Anyway, Natsume himself has an interest in collecting, although he hasn't developed it to the point where he buys two copies of everything.

Speaking of the last gift, it is still placed on his sofa as usual, and the belly of the teddy bear is filled with all kinds of little secrets of Natsume.

As a good friend of Natsume's in the dormitory, Natsume sometimes says hello to it.

"Don't you like Xiao Yuanzi? That's really a headache." The female voice on the other side sounded a little troubled.

"There is absolutely no such thing."

A guy with a meatball head answered righteously.

Actually, gifts don’t matter. Natsume doesn’t care about such things at all.

"Are you the only one coming this time, Mom?"

After hesitating for a moment, Natsume-san asked.

"Not really. Dad has come to Academy City in advance. Didn't Sonoko see him?"

"No."

Shaking his head in confusion, Natsume indicated that he had no idea about this.

"Maybe he went to deal with some urgent matters."

The female voice on the other end hesitated for a moment before explaining.

"That's it."

Natsume nodded slightly, not too surprised.

As for her father, Natsume's impression of him is that he is a workaholic and a clingy person, and a severe one at that.

I don't know where he goes all day when he is at work, and I can't contact him no matter what.

Whenever he has time, he stays by my side and is inseparable, and he is suspicious of me all the time.

This happened a long time ago, before entering Academy City.

And to deal with some important matters, are you referring to the cold light incident a few days ago?

However, Natsume had no interest in the adult world. He just thought about it for a while and then put it behind him. Anyway, after dealing with the matter, the man would definitely show up.

...

The area of ​​Academy City is about one-third of Tokyo, and the entire city is surrounded by tall and solid walls.

As soon as you arrive at the edge of the school district in Academy City, you can see the huge barrier that blocks the outside world from a distance.

The security teachers in these marginal school districts, in addition to being responsible for the security issues of their own school districts, are also responsible for guarding the safety of these walls and blocking foreign invaders.

District 11 is also such a marginal school district.

Due to its proximity to Tokyo, it has become a huge logistics operation center.

Similarly, a large portion of tourists coming to Academy City from Tokyo also enter through the entrance and exit stations of this school district.

Unlike the usual deserted state with almost no one to be seen, now it has become a bustling scene with people coming and going.

Cars driving from outside cannot enter the Academy City, but are parked in parking lots near the Academy City, so outside visitors basically enter on foot.

As if sensing such a business opportunity, a large number of taxis have parked here. Today is an important day for the drivers to make money, and this good opportunity only comes once a year.

After all, even the maids are working hard to make bento boxes in preparation for entering the catering industry.
