Temperature Control in Academy City

"Another case has happened. The teachers are so hard-working."

I can't help but sigh. Natsume is a lazy person, so he likes these security teachers who protect the Academy City.

I heard that the salaries of the security guards have been decreasing recently, and Natsume even wanted to write a letter of advice to the security guard headquarters, firmly opposing this.

Speaking of letters of advice, Natsume-san also found a time to send out the letter he wrote for senior Minghu last time.

The names of three people with super powers, including Natsume, were signed on the letter, but no reply has been received so far. The efficiency of the Daihastari Festival operation committee is too low.

However, it is now the eve of the Daiha Sei Festival, and it is a question whether the operation committee members have time to read the letter. And even if they read it, it is impossible to temporarily change the process of the opening ceremony of the Daiha Sei Festival.

The method that Natsume thought of, sending a letter, was too late in terms of time, and seemed to be doomed to failure.

Besides, does anyone really care about suggestions and beliefs? Only Natsume-san takes it seriously.

Then let's ask Senior Narugo to be the future spokesperson for the Daidoji Group. When the group develops in the future, we will organize a magical girl-themed concert for Senior Narugo.

After some deep thinking, a certain girl with a bun on her head came up with some weird idea.

Before the lights went out, Natsume finally returned to the student dormitory with his big head.

He took out his ID from his pocket and verified his identity in front of the machine somewhat absentmindedly.

With his head lowered, Natsume walked past the dorm supervisor with a thoughtful look on his face, attracting the supervisor's enthusiastic gaze.

If it were the usual Natsume-san, he would have walked past her politely with a smile on his face at this moment.

As expected, the Daiba Star Festival had arrived, and everyone's minds were wandering. A certain dormitory supervisor held his head in thought.

"I remembered that I forgot to bring the gift back."

As soon as she went upstairs, Natsume's face suddenly became clear. On the way back, she felt that she had forgotten something.

My new gift, the teddy bear doll, and the comic books I bought in the afternoon, also ended up at my mother's place.

After knocking on the door of Room 208, Natsume, who was passing by, wanted to check on Misaka-senpai, only to find that she had not returned yet.

I can't help but feel a little disappointed. Everyone seems to be very busy today.

...

When I opened my eyes, the sky had already slightly brightened. Light shone through the window onto the floor, but it did not form any bright path.

Because Natsume cleans the room very well, there is not much dust in the air or on the floor. He even thoroughly disinfects the room with high temperature every few days.

On the one hand, he has a mild obsession with cleanliness, and on the other hand, he can train the accuracy of his abilities. This is Natsume's exclusive secret recipe for training his abilities.

There was a hint of morning dew in the air; Natsume had forgotten to close the window again last night.

The black cat hasn't been seen by the window for a long time, and the canned fish specially prepared for the black cat is still stuffed in the box.

I glanced at the time and there was still an hour before I had to wake up, but the alarm clocks that Natsume had lined up next to him had not yet gone to work.

Natsume silently changed her position and prepared to take another nap. She had finally fallen asleep yesterday because she was really too excited.

But before I could close my eyes, Natsume-san suddenly sat up from the sofa.

She remembered that she couldn't waste time sleeping these days. She had a lot of things to do and time waits for no one.

It seemed as if he had returned to the time when he went jogging in the morning, and Natsume once again saw the closed door of the student dormitory.

Is this the Tokiwadai student dormitory at five in the morning? Natsume couldn't help but feel dazed.

"I'll go to the hotel to see my mom first, have breakfast together, and then bring back the gifts and comics. I'll go to the Seventh District to attend the opening ceremony of the Daihaxing Festival at 8 o'clock, and the first competition will be around 10 o'clock..."

Natsume couldn't help but count his activities today on his fingers, feeling a little bit of toothache.

Although Natsume has experienced busier times, today's schedule is still nerve-wracking, especially since someone is planning to be a time management master.

"And we can't let our guard down over there, Misaka-senpai. But the content of the second-year's game is a little different from ours, so I'll have to ask Reiko to keep an eye on them today."

Thinking of something again, Natsume's brows suddenly relaxed a little, and he felt that it was really good to have Lingzi around.

Yesterday's state of not wanting to care about anything has subsided a lot, and Natsume has started to think about some troubles around him again.

There has been no news about Shokuhou-senpai recently, and no sneaky people have been seen on Misaka's side in the past few days. Natsume-san, who is short of information, even feels that everything has become calm.

But a peaceful life is often as fragile as glass, and Natsume has experienced the feeling of peace being shattered in an instant many times.

But the biggest problem now is to wait for the warden to open the door.

Really, why is the dorm supervisor so lazy? It’s almost six o’clock and he hasn’t gotten up yet.

Chapter 321 Communication with Lingzi

Scattered rays of sunlight are scattered on the white wool, which is a unique scenery in the early morning.

In an apartment in Misaka Apartment Building 1, a member was disturbed by someone several kilometers away, ending his comfortable sleep time.

"Hey, Lingzi, you're hungry so early."

Tilting his head, a certain bun-head was in contact with Lingzi's consciousness.

Zero's consciousness has been born for more than a month. Every day, it is mixed with Natsume's thoughts. With the collision and exchange of various information, its growth rate exceeds that of ordinary children.

Communication in consciousness is very different from communication in language. It is completely a very sci-fi thing, but it is realized in their brains.

Natsume can make Zero's brain generate some information, and use the fantasy hand to borrow Zero's brain to perform calculations, but Natsume can keep the calculation process in Zero's brain.

The content of the calculation can be some ability formulas or some communication dialogues, and then the communication of consciousness is achieved.

As the owner of this body, Lingzi can naturally read these things.

Natsume can also read the information left by Zero in his brain, and the two happen almost at the same time.

These days, there are no secrets at all in the communication between the two people.

Natsume can know all kinds of situations about Reiko, and Reiko can also access all kinds of knowledge and common sense left by Natsume, and can even feel some of Natsume's joys, sorrows, anger and happiness through his brain.

The relationship between Natsume and Reiko also becomes more complicated because of the exchange of consciousness.

From the very beginning, Reiko was neither a clone of Natsume Sonoko nor a relative of the same blood.

Instead, it was the fantasy hand that connected the minds of the two people, and because of the characteristics of the stone, the connection between the two people at the genetic fragment could not be severed.

However, the problem of consciousness communication still exists.

Even though many things were left behind, Lingzi still did not have the ability to read information normally, and could not even understand what reading was, so he could only live by instinct.

The growth of consciousness requires a process, and the understanding of the world is also step-by-step.

The reason why Misaka sisters can quickly form consciousness is, on the one hand, because of the existence of the Misaka Network, and on the other hand, because of the existence of some kind of learning device that matures consciousness with a strong artificial flavor.

Even so, what awakens at the beginning is still the consciousness of a tool, not self-awareness.

Therefore, in the current communication with Reiko, Natsume is trying to understand Reiko's ideas by guessing, and it seems that there have been some results.

With his arms resting on the wall, a head slowly appeared in a non-existent shot.

Miss Lingzi slowly got up from the Green Grassland brand wool blanket, turned her head, and looked with a dull expression at the Misaka sisters lying on the ground beside her.

It was another normal morning, and my roommates were all staying on the wool blankets in their rooms.

By the way, Natsume didn't have any roommates in the Tokiwadai dormitory, but he did have one in the Misaka Apartment.

I don’t know who I learned this from, but my roommates are lazy all day long. They don’t get up until seven or eight o’clock, and their attitude towards life is not positive at all.

Stepping on the blanket, Lingzi opened the door quietly and breathed in the fresh air of the new day. Lingzi had a mission today, to help look after Misaka-senpai.

These Qingqingcaoyuan brand wool blankets are very soft and you can step on them without feeling any pain on your feet.

The first Misakas who moved into Misaka Apartment all loved these wool blankets.

Later, it seemed to have influenced the rest of the sisters, and even the Last Work was planning to buy a large wool carpet.

"Zero, you got up so early today," Misaka asked with an effort to raise her head with a puzzled look.

A head was raised with difficulty in the room. The right half of the face was a little red due to long-term compression. It seemed that it was Misaka No. 9982 who liked to sleep on his back.

"Misaka, I'm going out now. I won't be back for lunch."

He waved casually, and Lingzi turned around and greeted him while tiptoeing to put on his shoes.

With the sound of the door closing, the small apartment fell into silence again.

...

The warden is always late.

After waiting in the student dormitory for twenty minutes, Natsume's expression changed from anxious to calm, and then from calm to confusion.

Accompanied by a series of powerful clanging sounds on the ground, the adult finally came out wearing a pair of pink bunny slippers.

He was wearing a casual suit, his head was a mess like a chicken coop, and he was holding some clothes for changing in his hands.

While walking, the dorm supervisor also made close eye contact with a girl with a bun-like hairstyle.

The matron is a very loving and gentle person. Even though her initial love affair failed, she still insisted on going to the Garden of Hope to take care of the children.

The same goes for his own students. He insists on educating them with love, and Shirai feels that he has gained a lot every time after educating them.

"It's Natsume. You've come just in time. Come and help rub my shoulders. I didn't sleep well last night."

They stopped halfway, and the dorm supervisor twisted his shoulders uncomfortably, stretched out his hand and greeted them.

"Sorry, I refuse."

The expression on his face immediately fell, and Natsume looked cold, like the Terminator in a science fiction movie.

Back to the normal timeline, a pair of small hands pounded hard on the dorm supervisor's shoulders. In Natsume's mind, he had just imagined himself bravely and fearlessly rejecting the dorm supervisor.

"Natsume, move a little further below the shoulders and continue to increase the force."

"Okay. Mr. Dormitory Supervisor, is this okay?" A girl with a bun-like haircut answered obediently.

"It's OK, but Natsume, your strength is a little weak. You need to pay more attention to your physical training."

Sitting on the sofa in front of the washing machine with narrowed eyes, the dorm supervisor commented.

The dormitory supervisor's shoulders were very stiff, and it was obvious that he often worked at his desk and never took a break.

In order to relieve this symptom, a masseur first used the White Crane Spreads Its Wings, followed by the Black Tiger Ripping Out the Heart, and finally the legendary Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.

Anyway, by the time Natsume-san successfully walked out of the door, both of his palms were trembling slightly.

After only a few minutes of massage, Natsume's arms began to cramp. It seemed that Natsume was still seriously lacking in exercise.

Fortunately, the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms was not completed in the end, and the warden was busy taking care of his own affairs. By the way, he was considerate enough to open the door of the student dormitory.

As the gate of the student dormitory slowly rose, several fully armed security robots dispersed from near the gate, making way for normal entry and exit.

This special garrison mode looks like the newly launched position defense type security robot.

It's really a bit exaggerated. There seem to be more security robots near the student dormitory, and the security force has become particularly abundant.

Chapter 322: Opening Ceremony of the Daibaxing Festival

The robot's wheels rub against the ground, retreating like the tide. When necessary, they also have the ability to patrol.

The young ladies living in the Tokiwadai student dormitory are like princesses in a castle, and are closely guarded by knights in the form of robots.

However, the hard work was rewarded with ruthless treatment from a certain young lady, who pulled a round white tube out from the pile of robots and then whizzed off to her destination.

The wind is gentle today and the weather is good, which is very suitable for holding a sports meeting full of passion and sweat.

The white cylinder passed through a narrow path, and several floating camera devices installed by some unknown media flew over Natsume's head, and then flew away to who knows where.

These small spheres that look like UFOs are equipped with cameras that can rotate in all directions. They will become frequent visitors to Academy City in the coming days.

Academy City's television broadcasts rely on these flying cameras instead of bulky shoulder-mounted cameras.

Most TV stations and media from all over the world will stay in the Academy City base, controlling these machines to shoot. Only media allowed by Academy City can interview the student group.

However, these flying balls will be restricted to a certain area and can only be used for shooting opening ceremonies or competition events.

For example, their Tokiwadai student dormitory has installed corresponding sensor radars and repelling measures nearby to prevent these machines from approaching.

We followed the path all the way to the central square area. Although it was still early in the morning, there were already a lot of foreign tourists here.

I finally met my mother in a nearby hotel. She was wearing a light white sportswear and looked particularly energetic today.
