Temperature Control in Academy City

Even the annoying Accelerator might be able to be pulled into their team.

There are always many ideas in his head, but Natsume will only pick some of them and keep the rest as backup plans at any time. This is valuable knowledge taught by a senior in space movement.

"I don't really want to watch the Daiha Star Festival game. Staying in the room might be a good choice. Misaka No. 10032 raised the kitten to try to attract attention and secretly revealed a lost look."

"Today is Academy City's sports day. Just watching the broadcast quietly on TV gives me a sense of participation. Misaka 14530 thought about it and decided to adopt the optimistic mode."

"Hey, what's so interesting about sports games? Those things are the most meaningless..."

Lingzi's breathing quickened slightly, and his mind began to work.

I thought of something and my whole body reacted immediately, and I almost said something I shouldn't have said.

Can’t the sisters participate in the Daiba Star Festival?

Yes, even though the sisters were wearing Tokiwadai's school uniform, they did not belong to any school, so they naturally could not participate in the Daihasesei Festival.

Because of their identity as clones, the sisters are destined to not be able to go to school or live a normal life like ordinary people, and they will even be labeled as Academy City assets for the rest of their lives.

However, as a right that everyone has worked hard to gain, the sisters can live freely in the Academy City and be protected by the rules.

"Actually, the Daihastar Festival isn't exactly boring, but it's not that interesting either."

Taking back what he had just said, Lingzi lowered his head and muttered quietly, attracting the curious looks of his sisters.

It's so strange, why is Lingzi suddenly speaking so quietly?

But what exactly does the Daihasei Festival feel like? Thinking of this, Misaka No. 10032, who was holding the black cat, was a little dazed.

Chapter 327: Holographic Projection and Sisters

Natsume's reaction nerves are always so sensitive, which means that the conduction speed of the nerve endings is very fast, but in many places he is a little slow to realize.

The Daibaxing Festival that a certain bun-head hates is something that the younger sisters desire but cannot reach.

He lives his so-called daily life peacefully day after day, but this city is also a hell where many people are struggling. Everyone's joys and sorrows are not shared, and Natsume often only thinks about himself.

Come to think of it, Natsume-san isn't interested in anything outside of his sight.

Even though he wanted to help Archery-senpai who had fallen into the dark side of the city, he never thought of interfering with others who were in the same situation.

She doesn't want to be involved in too many things, and she is just muddling through her duties as a discipline committee member. She hopes that the security teachers will maintain the rules of Academy City. Natsume can only be considered an ordinary person with super powers.

"Did Reiko participate in the Daihastar Festival? Obviously, Reiko doesn't go out to school like the rest of us. Misaka 10032 turned her head forty-five degrees and showed a strange expression."

The speech just now seemed to have aroused some curiosity among the sisters, and Misaka No. 10032, the negotiating representative, spoke first.

"That's not important."

"In short, everyone should listen to the dormitory supervisor and stay in the dormitory."

Natsume's emotions are easily affected by the external environment and he cares a lot about his sisters' feelings, but in his head he is still determined to carry out his own little plan.

The sisters need to stay in the room until Natsume and the others find and deal with the mastermind behind the incident.

Since the sisters are connected to each other through the Misaka Network, usually important information can be shared with the entire group by just communicating with one of the sisters.

But this also has great disadvantages. Through the authority of a single sister, it is still possible to influence the entire Misaka network to a certain extent, such as uploading some special viruses that can be disguised as memories.

Therefore, the next action is very important. We can’t let the sisters stay in their rooms all the time.

However, Natsume is not the leader of this operation, and it is still unknown whether the mastermind behind the operation can be lucky enough to enter the security building.

She wasn't quite sure how Shokuhou-senpai handled these incidents, but she presumed it had something to do with her ability to control the mind, probably brainwashing or something like that.

Having made up his mind silently, Natsume's brain started working rapidly, and he soon came up with an idea that seemed to have the best of both worlds.

"As a reward for everyone staying in their rooms, the dorm supervisor is also going to provide everyone with a set of Academy City's latest technological products."

With a thoughtful look on his face, Lingzi took a while to continue.

In fact, you don’t necessarily have to go out to participate in the Daiba Star Festival. Isn’t it always said that technology changes our lives?

"This latest product is actually a holographic projection machine. Not only can it simulate the real competition environment of the Daiba Star Festival, it also has a good olfactory system, and can even adjust various weather and temperatures. Even the touch of the scene can be 30% of that in a normal state."

"And when it is deployed normally, it can create a holographic environment with a radius of about 20 meters. The yard here plus the nearby lawn and flower beds can barely accommodate it, but it needs to be cleaned up beforehand."

Natsume recalled the projection device he had taken a fancy to, and looked at the courtyard of Building 1 of Misaka Apartment, and said seriously.

The more obvious shortcomings are the touch and the level of detail of the scenery. However, if you want to improve it to the almost 5% level of the lv assessment, you can't buy it on the market. It's completely a sample in the laboratory.

I heard that when Misaka-senpai went to help shoot a commercial, the device that looked like a real scene could even fill up an entire shooting hall. It would probably increase Natsume-san's budget by dozens of times and it would not be enough. It was a machine for purely commercial use.

"Misaka 11530 just said on the Internet that if it is just one set of equipment, the sisters living in the dormitory building will not be able to use it. Misaka 14530 promptly reported the latest information to Commander Zero."

"Eh, is that so?"

"One set does seem a little too little, so let's buy two. There shouldn't be any problem with the dorm supervisor."

After fully listening to the opinions of the sisters, the two bodies of a girl with a bun head nodded at the same time.

There are quite a lot of my sisters left in Academy City, and they are scattered in two places, so I really need to consider the feelings of everyone.

If I add in my scholarship for next month and the subsidy for the discipline committee member, I can almost buy two holographic projection devices with olfactory systems.

The use of the scholarship has already been planned before I even receive it. Although it is a bit painful, it is also a necessary expense.

Natsume said that the Tokiwadai student dormitory provides food and drinks as well as free transportation.

If you order now, it will be delivered to your door tomorrow or so. There is no problem in delaying payment for a few days.

And if it is a holographic projection device, placing it in the Misaka Apartment can also reduce the probability of others witnessing the sisters. At least no one can observe the sisters who like to daydream on the balcony, and holographic projection can be used to create another scene.

Thinking of some things, Natsume suddenly felt that the money was worth it. He considered buying two more, a total of four for the two Misaka apartments and two dormitory buildings.

The energy consumption of these devices is not low, but the energy price in Academy City is ridiculously low, and since the sisters can generate electricity themselves, it seems that it is indeed feasible.

As for the one that Natsume-san was planning to buy for himself, that will have to be further delayed, but it will be the same for Reiko to play with.

Someone immediately made up his mind and decided to buy two first, and the rest could be dealt with later.

"Really? Actually, as long as it's the request of the dorm supervisor, we have no reason to object. These requests have just been transmitted through the Misaka network. Most of the Misakas who remain in Academy City have confirmed the news and are preparing to return to their rooms. Do, Misaka No. 10032 felt a little sore in her hands and put the kitten back on her head."

In fact, from the very beginning, the sisters were willing to believe Reiko, and Natsume's concerns did not exist at all.

It's just that the girl with the bun ignored her influence on her sisters, and of course, the level of trust her sisters had in Lingzi.

"Of course it's true. Keeping her word is the dorm matron's life motto."

Lingzi spoke somewhat to himself, with a look of certainty on his face.

That’s right, I, Natsume Sonoko, am such an excellent girl. Money is nothing to me, although I won’t be able to buy comics or go to the supermarket next month.

Chapter 328 Lost Contact

Some things may seem important, but they pale in comparison to the people or things to which they have an emotional connection.

After communicating with her sisters, Reiko decided to stay in the Misaka Apartment together and keep an eye on their situation.

On the other side, the picnic in the Citizens Park finally came to an end.

Sitting quietly on the grass, a girl with a bun hesitated for a few seconds and pressed the purchase button of the holographic projection device.

Although the balance in the bank card was not enough, Natsume pulled down the payment interface and selected the option of delayed payment.

As the green pass button lights up, the two holographic projection devices are immediately in the shipping state.

Academy City has a complete ID system and credit system, and everyone's basic information is almost transparent.

Business models such as delayed payment or installment payment are also common in Academy City.

However, compared to the external system that is based on personal credit, the companies in Academy City basically use scholarship levels as a reference.

These commercial companies will decide whether to offer these payment methods based on the student's scholarship level and the value of the goods.

However, as a student representative, Natsume naturally meets the company's requirements for delayed payment.

"Xiao Yuanzi, I found that this Minghu Alisa is very suitable to be the spokesperson for our Kanami."

With some interest on her face, Ms. Chise couldn't help but hold her chin up and spoke thoughtfully.

She has pink hair and a cute round face. She is a first-year high school student about the same age as most people in Academy City, and she is very famous.

"Of course, Naruto-senpai is the most popular star in Academy City."

Putting down the phone, Natsume-san focused a little and said in agreement.

As one of the fans of Senior Minghu, Natsume decisively recommended her to his mother.

Thanks to Shirai and the others, Naruto-senpai's singing voice has spread throughout the Academy City, and she is now a well-deserved superstar.

Due to some special reasons, many large companies have not extended an olive branch to her. This senior student is currently performing on the streets and on the Internet.

Come to think of it, I just saw her in the square formation at Hope's Peak.

"Then it's settled. When the company officially opens for business in Academy City, I'll invite this Alisa to attend the Daidoji Group's product launch."

Ms. Chishi nodded with some certainty and said with a faint smile.

The work of the Daidoji Group in Academy City is basically centered around a certain bun-head. As long as Natsume-san asks for something, a certain lady is ready to satisfy it.

"Great."

While still thinking about other things, Natsume immediately showed a happy expression. This was the first good news of the day.

But from the very beginning, Natsume has always been concerned about it.

It has been almost two hours since the last game of the morning ended.

Although Shokuhou-senpai's movement speed is worrying, as long as she doesn't walk, this period of time is more than enough for a round trip to the juvenile reformatory.

According to that senior's personality, her means of transportation should at least be a car or something like that.

But until now, Natsume has not received any news from that senior.

Although the speed of information transmission from Shokuhou-senpai was a little delayed, Natsume Sonoko still maintained strong confidence in that senior.

I took out my cell phone, organized my words, and sent an email in just over ten seconds.

Natsume is waiting for the blonde girl to bring news of success, so that she can defeat certain forces hiding in the dark in one fell swoop.

Speaking of which, Natsume suddenly thought of the attack on himself not long ago.

Because the number of participants in the Absolute Ability Plan had reached a terrifying level, I was completely unable to identify the guy behind the attacker at that time.

But the fact that he is still obsessed with his sisters makes him more suspicious.

A certain guy with a bun-like hair who was silently preparing to solve these two problems at the same time suddenly had a little doubt on his face.

The Absolute Ability Project has undoubtedly come to an end. The designer of the tree diagram and its remains have vanished, and related research institutions have been abolished or disbanded. Accelerator, as the subject of the experiment, has clearly expressed his withdrawal.

Although the path to reorganize this experiment is still there, the possibilities are basically blocked.

Under this premise, what exactly does the other party intend to do to obtain Misaka Network?

Unable to figure out the other party's true purpose, Natsume couldn't recall those so-called soul memories, and couldn't help feeling confused.

...

This afternoon's competition started on time, and the students of Tokiwadai began to run around in every corner of Academy City again.

Compared to the senior students, the first-year students have it easier.

The competition at this time has nothing to do with Natsume, so she can take some time to watch other people's competitions.

There was no response to the emails I sent, and the phone calls were unavailable, so contact was interrupted.

Natsume gave up the idea of ​​watching Misaka-senpai's Balloon Hunter competition and instead came to the Suzuran High School Stadium in District 7.

Naturally, a certain lady came along as well, and before Natsume-san even found a seat to sit down, he was surrounded by some girls from Tokiwadai.

Natsume knows almost all of these girls. They are all members of the Queen faction in the school.

"Didn't Shokuhou-senpai come to participate in the relay race?"

After looking around and not finding Shokuhou-senpai, Natsume Sonoko asked tentatively.

"No. And since the Queen left the main venue this morning, we haven't received any news from her."

Having realized the seriousness of the problem, senior sister Fanfeng, who knew nothing about it, became a little anxious.

In Senior Fanfeng's memory, there was no sign of the Queen's disappearance, but the feeling of uneasiness would continue to accumulate over time.

Especially when the relay race that Shokuhou-senpai participated in started, there was no sign of that person, and the competition had to be taken over by the idle members of the Queen's Faction.
