Temperature Control in Academy City

There are several shelves of comic magazines and books at the entrance of the convenience store, and occasionally some people come to read free comics.

Natsume Sonoko was holding two boxes of shaved ice in one hand and reading a newly released comic magazine attentively in the other.

Rather than reading the latest issue of a serialized comic, Natsume Sonoko prefers to buy the single volume of the comic directly.

Next to her was Misaka-senpai, who was also concentrating, holding a copy of "Weekly Shonen Magazine" in her hand. When it comes to reading free comic books in convenience stores or other stores, Misaka-senpai is very experienced.

"Haha."

While reading the comics, Misaka-senpai couldn't help but laugh, as if she was attracted by the content of the comics.

Natsume Sonoko glanced at the contents of the magazine and saw that Senior Misaka was reading a comic called "Locked Room x Locked Room Detective".

Misaka-senpai seems to have shown great enthusiasm for detective mystery and locked room murder comics, which can also explain why Misaka-senpai sometimes pays special attention to various cases.

"It's almost time. Saten-san and the others will be here soon, right?" Misaka-senpai finished reading the latest issue of the "Locked Room x Locked Room Detective" comic strip with satisfaction, put the comic back in its place and said this.

"It's almost time. According to the time, they will soon reach the Communication Plaza."

Natsume Sonoko also closed the comic book in her hand, picked up a few comic magazines of interest from the bookshelf, and took them to the cashier to pay.

Even if life is hard, you should face it with a smile. It would be even better if there are comics and games.

After refusing the plastic bag from the convenience store owner, Natsume Sonoko stuffed the comics she had just bought into her schoolbag and followed Misaka-senpai out of the convenience store door.

"Sonoko, do you have a hobby of collecting comics?" asked Senior Misaka in surprise.

"No, I just want to buy it and read it slowly in my dorm."

Natsume Sonoko looked up at Misaka-senpai and answered with a somewhat confused look on her face.

In the center of the communication square, Natsume Sonoko waved from afar at the duo from Zhachuan Middle School who were traveling together.

"Hatsuharu-san, Saten-san." Natsume Sonoko called out softly, but the two people who were far away didn't hear her.

On a nearby bench, the four people finally met up.

"Here's some shaved ice for you." Natsume Sonoko smiled and took out two boxes of shaved ice and handed them to Hatsuharu and Saten.

"Wow, thank you very much." Ms. Ruiko Saotome, who had just walked a long way and was now sweating profusely, hurriedly expressed her gratitude.

"Thank you, Natsume-san." Hatsuharu took the shaved ice a little embarrassedly and said sweetly.

Sitting on a bench in the communication plaza, Uiharu-san and Saten-san took a short break.

"Do you want to continue resting? Otherwise, we will go directly to the student dormitory." Senior Misaka asked with concern.

"No problem, let's get going." Hatsuharu answered seriously.

The sun is always so dazzling that several people put their palms in front of their foreheads to block the scorching sunlight.

"Hmm, does that mean Maeda-senpai agrees to help find the criminal?"

Natsume Sonoko narrowed her eyes slightly, and finally she could see the road ahead clearly, and chatted with her classmate Hatsuharu in a casual manner.

"Yes, this senior is really easy to talk to. She agreed when I just asked her." Hatsuharu replied. With the help of this senior, the case has already had a lot of clues.

"That's good. With the senior here, this incident should be resolved quickly." Natsume Sonoko nodded and said, having great confidence in the ability of this senior.

"Misaka-senpai, Natsume-san, do you know what Shirai-san is busy with recently? The discipline committee members have been leaving in a hurry after the activities and have been acting mysterious the whole day." Hatsuharu-san asked curiously.

"I don't know about that. By the way, this guy has been acting weird lately." Senior Misaka put her schoolbag on her shoulder and said thoughtfully.

"I'm not sure, but last time I saw Shirai-san secretly browsing a cosmetics store."

Natsume Sonoko recalled that she could still vividly remember the scene of Shirai carrying large and small bags and moving through space with Natsume Sonoko. When Natsume Sonoko asked Shirai what he had bought, Shirai hesitated and refused to tell her.

"This guy actually went to a cosmetics store secretly." Senior Misaka showed an angry look on her face. You know, even as a second-year senior, she wouldn't dare to buy cosmetics so blatantly.

Finally, we arrived at the student dormitory of the seventh school district of Tokiwadai. At this time, the warden was out for something and was no longer in the dormitory. Most of the students of Tokiwadai had not returned yet.

Senior Misaka and Natsume Sonoko first took the two of them to visit the restaurant and small garden of the student dormitory, and then walked around the student dormitory.

After walking around, Natsume Sonoko led the Zhachuan duo to their dormitory on the second floor, while Senior Misaka had to go back to her own dormitory to put down her schoolbag.

After opening the door, Natsume Sonoko warmly invited Hatsuharu and Saten to come into her dormitory 210.

"Wow, this is the young lady's dormitory. The dormitory in Tokiwadai is really beautiful. I'm so envious." Hatsuharu looked solemn and seemed a little excited.

"And the restaurant in the student dormitory is very big, and the garden is also in Western style." Student Ruiko Saten said with deep sympathy.

On the other hand, the situation in dormitory 208 is terrible.

In the private bathroom of dormitory 208, I finally met the guy who had been acting mysterious recently.

Shirai had just finished taking a shower and was combing her hair meticulously, taking care of every split end. The scent of the carefully selected shampoo lingered around her.

Shirai carefully took out the prohibited item she had purchased at the cosmetics store, a light pink lipstick.

After applying a thin layer of foundation on her lips to cover up the minor blemishes on her face, Shirai looked at her radiant self in the mirror with satisfaction.

"Today is the anniversary of Onee-sama and Kuroko, the full moon anniversary of them being united by the red thread of fate." There was an inexplicable blush on Shirai's face, and as she thought of Onee-sama's appearance, she became intoxicated unconsciously.

After leaving the bathroom, Shirai took out the specially prepared highball glass, poured two glasses of lemon-flavored soda that she bought from the vending machine, and added a small cherry on top.

Great, Shirai Kuroko’s special date drink is ready.

"It's a bit of a shame that the item didn't arrive, but there's no turning back for me now, Heizi. I must succeed this time."

A determined look appeared on Shirai's face, and he secretly encouraged himself. He had gone to that company a few days ago to order the product, but it has not been delivered yet.

"The full moon date operation between Shirai Kuroko and Onee-sama officially begins now." Shirai silently chanted the slogan in his heart. He had made almost all the preparations and was just waiting for Onee-sama to come back.

Shirai-san sat on the bed, having changed into a purple combat uniform that was hard to describe. An indescribable atmosphere filled the entire room. In order to carry out the perversion to the end, Shirai-san took great pains.

"I just like Onee-sama as a person, not the so-called A Certain Scientific Railgun. Kuroko's feelings are very pure." Shirai thought secretly. It has nothing to do with the halo of Misaka-senpai. Shirai just simply likes Misaka-senpai as a person.

“This matter itself is very strange.”

In the dormitory 210 next door, Hatsuharu said hesitantly.

"What's so strange about that? Why must there be quilts and bedding in the young lady's room? It's normal for her to sleep on the sofa."

Natsume Sonoko said with some doubt. In response to Hatsuharu's question, Natsume Sonoko said that everything exists for a reason and we should not look at everything with a worldly perspective.

"I also think that a young lady shouldn't sleep on the sofa. It sounds strange, doesn't it?" Saten agreed.

"Yeah, and the young lady's bed should also have imported pure velvet sheets, and pillows and quilts filled with white velvet." Hatsuharu added, as if she remembered the content of a certain girls' novel.

"Where did you hear this weird saying?"

Natsume Sonoko felt a little overwhelmed and touched her forehead helplessly. It seemed that Hatsuharu knew a lot of strange things about the eldest lady.

"Okay, I'll treat everyone to some snacks. We have everything." Natsume Sonoko squatted down, took out a large box from under the bed, opened the box to reveal a box full of snacks.

Very good, Natsume Sonoko successfully changed the topic and silently gave herself a thumbs up in her heart.

"Is this what we bought at the supermarket last time?" asked Saten as she picked up a bag of strange-tasting candy.

"That's right, do you still want to read comics? I have enough here, all kinds of them are available." Natsume Sonoko said somewhat proudly, squatting down again to look for other boxes.

"That's amazing! Are there so many boxes under the young lady's bed?" said Chuchun in surprise.

"Maybe, maybe Natsume is the only one like this." Saten answered casually, looking at the various layouts of Natsume Sonoko's dormitory with some curiosity.

Chapter 35: Correct Use of Space Movement

In dormitory 210 of a certain student dormitory, Natsume Sonoko warmly welcomes Hatsuharu and Saten who are visiting for the first time.

Hatsuharu sat in front of a large box, her eyes involuntarily looking at the box that Natsume Sonoko dragged out from under the bed. The size was somewhat different from the previous boxes.

"Natsume-san, how many boxes do you have hidden under your bed?" Hatsuharu-san asked with interest.

The classmate Natsume in front of me was dragging out box after box from under the bed like a magician, as if the supply was endless.

"About ten, but recently the boxes are starting to run out, and I'm considering buying new boxes. By the way, it seems like the space under the bed is almost full." Natsume Sonoko scratched her head in embarrassment and accidentally messed up her bun.

What if there is no more space in the boxes? The things in these boxes are all her treasures. If she throws them away, she will be heartbroken.

If you leave them anywhere, the dorm supervisor's authority will not allow you to challenge it.

This is so difficult. Why not discuss with Misaka-senpai and the others and put one or two boxes that are not often used under their beds? Or give some things away.

"That's amazing! Are all young ladies so good at space management?" An expression of amazement appeared on Hatsuharu's face.

"Indeed, being able to buy so many boxes of different sizes that don't exceed the storage limit under the bed does take some skill." Saten-san nodded in approval, agreeing deeply with what Utsuharu-san said.

Hearing the conversation between Hatsuharu-san and Saten-san, Natsume Sonoko's face turned red. I didn't know I was so powerful.

Well, let’s ignore that guy’s unrealistic self-indulgence and return our attention to a certain student dormitory.

"Strange, why has Misaka-senpai been gone for so long?" Saten-san suddenly asked.

"Maybe something delayed us. It's better for us to wait here." Natsume Sonoko answered seriously.

Senior Misaka was indeed delayed by something, and it was something that made her extremely furious, and she was almost on the verge of going berserk.

If we had to add a time limit to this kind of rampage, it would probably be the time period before the gravitational potential energy of the fist just enters the range above someone's head.

In the neighboring dormitory 208, senior Misaka, who came to drop off the bag, inevitably encountered a special incident.

As usual, Shirai-san, who has brought too much unnecessary pressure to Misaka-senpai, is trying to bring Misaka-senpai a new experience of pressure.

Shirai, wearing a purple combat uniform, demonstrated excellent military qualities. He emphasized the combat strategy of not moving if the enemy does not move, and moving madly if the enemy moves.

Before Misaka-senpai appeared, she fully demonstrated the image of a well-disciplined young lady, sitting quietly on the bed, shaking a highball glass in her hand.

Once the target person appears, he immediately turns into a special soldier who is experienced in battle and good at jumping and running.

Use a method that is difficult to detect with the naked eye, and may even be accompanied by high-end techniques such as spatial movement to launch a brutal close-range attack on the enemy.

There is no doubt that this is the correct way to use space movement, get close to the enemy, and then hit him with one strike.

Shirai-san can be described in one sentence: she is as quiet as a virgin and as mad as a rabbit.

"I am back."

A familiar voice was heard outside the door of dormitory 208, followed by the sound of a key being inserted into the door. The door opened, revealing a cheerful and handsome face.

"Kuroko, Hatsuharu-san and Saten-san are in the dormitory next door, and they will come to our place soon..." Misaka-senpai was still talking to herself, but when she looked up, she saw Shirai-san wearing a purple combat uniform, and she was instantly unable to say the next words.

Perhaps due to the harsh conditions, Shirai adopted a simple production technique for the fabric of her combat uniform, presenting a super modern and wonderful style, which directly stunned Misaka-senpai.

"Onee-sama!" With a hint of excitement in her tone, Shirai, wearing this sure-win combat uniform, ran towards Misaka-senpai with joy.

Shirai-san strode forward barefoot, his eyes slightly narrowed, an unnatural red glow on his face, and his purple combat uniform was blown up by the wind as he walked, dancing slightly in the air.

"What are you doing, come down quickly."

Senior Misaka is still too young. Although she silently clenched her fists to guard against the front, just when Shirai was about to approach, an invisible space wave suddenly appeared, and Senior Misaka felt a heavy weight coming from behind.

Shirai Kuroko once again violated the dormitory rules and used her spatial ability to move behind Misaka-senpai. However, the dormitory supervisor was not present at the time, otherwise she would have been punished for using cosmetics and would have been forced to clean the cafeteria for a week.

In fact, a certain temperature control has been putting something on itself for many years, which can be regarded as using its ability in the dormitory to some extent. (crossed out)

Let's get back to the topic. The situation in Dormitory 208 is very tense now, and both players have already used all their strength.

Shirai-san locked up Misaka-san. No, it was Misaka-san who locked up Shirai-san.

Senior Misaka, who is an expert at shoulder throws, grabbed Shirai's head with her backhand, with a look of gritted teeth and almost out of control on her face. She bent her body slightly and pushed her waist muscles back violently.

Shirai immediately lost the initiative, and her body involuntarily tilted forward until she was thrown out from behind Misaka-senpai, drawing a beautiful arc in the air.

Just as Shirai's body was thrown into the air, space fluctuations appeared again beside Shirai, and her trace disappeared again.

Senior Misaka looked around with some annoyance, and saw a goblet filled with liquid fell steadily into Misaka's hand, with a small cherry in the goblet.

"Onee-sama, please enjoy this drink, Kuroko made it specially for you." Shirai leaned against the door frame, holding the same goblet in her hand.

Although the combat uniform on her body was a little wrinkled, it did not affect Shirai's performance at all. She took a sip of the drink in her hand and let out a meaningful exhalation.

"Sister, today Kuroko and I will live in a world that belongs only to us two." A strange smile suddenly appeared on Shirai's face.

............

"Excuse me------"

"I'm sorry."

"It's very fashionable. I think purple is very suitable."

There was a sound of footsteps behind Shirai, and when he turned around, he saw Natsume En and the Zhachuan duo unexpectedly arriving at the door of dormitory 208.

"I just said that you shouldn't come at this time. You should give Senior Misaka more time." Natsume Sonoko said in a low voice, with a hint of helplessness in her tone.

The two dormitories were not far apart, separated only by Dormitory 209, so it was only a few steps away that I saw Shirai-san leaning against the door, making a strange pose.
