Temperature Control in Academy City

Having said that, Tokiwadai Junior High School finally won the first place in the total score of this Daihasei Festival competition, surpassing its competitor, Nagadenjoki Academy, by only a slight margin. Natsume's hard work and sweat were definitely indispensable in this.

Due to this great and positive news, the students of Tokiwadai Junior High School seem to be keeping their eager smiles and cheerful spirits these days.

This is true even for Natsume-san, which means that next year during the Daihasei Festival, he will most likely not have to go through a week-long physical training.

As soon as he arrived at the school, Natsume discovered that there was a sense of panic among the crowd.

It seems to be related to the prank that happened in the school yesterday. The white "ghost" who committed the crime has not been caught yet, and more and more people are being attacked.

It is said that the suspect likes to stick small notes on the victim's back, with blatant words such as "Get away from my sister" and "My sister only belongs to me". I only learned a little from my classmates in class, and a familiar smell came to me.

If "onee-sama" wasn't just a catchphrase of Shirai-san, and if she hadn't been working outside with him yesterday, Natsume would have taken the initiative to work overtime to arrest his teammates and launch a just action to maintain social morality.

The light of righteousness shines on the earth...

"Since this is a school job, Makuami and the others will take care of it."

"But this time, most of the people who were attacked were members of the Shokuhou faction. Could it be that senior from the Miaouin Academy?"

Natsume lowered her head, recalling something. The senior from Yaouin left a deep impression on her.

However, she rarely had the consciousness of a discipline committee member, so she put the idea aside in an instant. Pranks and ghosts were too childish, and she didn't want to get involved at all.

Chapter 429: The Gifted Dream Road

Perhaps due to considerations of the Queen's own physical condition, the Shokuhou faction's headquarters is always located on the first floor of the faction's activity building.

In this ordinary building with only three floors, the Shokuhou faction has divided up an entire floor for its territory.

Even when these classrooms are occasionally vacant, no students from other factions will apply to the school for their use, which fully demonstrates the majesty and strength of the so-called largest faction.

Today, the largest faction seemed to have encountered some unexpected problems, causing the second-in-command of the faction, Senior Sister Fanfeng Runzi, to be in a state of panic.

"So far, we have not caught the perpetrator of this prank, but it is not completely fruitless."

"With the help of the Discipline Committee, we were able to use some of the high-speed cameras on campus, and were able to accurately capture the white ghost yesterday."

In the resident classroom, third-year student Kuchihashiko, one of the important members of the Shokuhou faction, pointed at the picture on the holographic projection and reported carefully word by word.

The white ghost on the projection began to gradually materialize from a shadow that was almost invisible, becoming clearer little by little, and finally became a strange object with a barely visible outline.

"Is this a doll?!"

Makugami Komaki, a member of the Discipline Committee and the Shokuhou faction, shouted in surprise.

"Yes, it is almost certain now that this doll has a great resemblance to Fanfeng. Especially the hairstyle uses purple princess curls, and even the distribution of the bangs uses the style of Fanfeng three months ago."

"And based on this simple information, combined with the fact that Fanfeng was present when everyone was attacked yesterday, the culprit who manipulated the dolls to play a prank must be related to Fanfeng."

The tone gradually became strange, and this senior from Kuchibashi seemed to be hesitant to speak.

As expected of Fanfeng, he actually has such a crazy admirer in school.

But why did they choose the time period after the Daihasei Festival to carry out their concentrated pranks?

"Should we tell the Queen about this?" a girl asked.

"No, we'll handle this ourselves."

Senior Fanfeng's face showed a hint of annoyance. Was it because of herself?

Although there had been such a hunch a long time ago, no one had actually confirmed it before.

In fact, matters concerning the Shokuhou faction were basically handled by Senior Fanfeng, and it was very rare to have to trouble the Queen, so no one raised any objections.

"Makigami, please conduct an investigation in the library first and identify those who can remotely control objects in Tokiwadai. Then, we can gradually investigate their alibis."

The decision was made immediately, and Senior Fanfeng remained calm and spoke.

It is not appropriate to let faction members intervene in investigating cases. At most, they can help collect evidence. However, it is appropriate to let members with the status of discipline committee members intervene.

"Who could it be?"

Then he sighed secretly again. Senior Fanfeng's bitter face seemed particularly cute.

I carefully recalled the people I knew, but in the end I still couldn't come to any conclusion.

But no matter what, she has to be responsible for all the people who have been pranked because of her.

"I was originally planning to invite Misaka-san and the Queen to have afternoon tea together."

The sad expression on her face became more and more obvious, and Senior Fanfeng thought with some embarrassment.

After experiencing the day when the queen disappeared for no reason and even had a broken arm when she came back, she deeply realized that the power to protect the queen was far from enough.

Although Natsume-san is an important support, it would be even better if we could also win over Misaka-san.

In order to bridge the deep rift between the two people that is visible to the naked eye, Junko Fanfeng has been busy planning her own matchmaking campaign recently.

The first step is to use Indian Poker to simulate the wonderful time of swimming in the Quata Ocean while serving the Queen. She is looking forward to the feeling of having used it like Misaka-san. It would be even better if she could awaken the attribute of serving the Queen.

"I am already in my third year, and I will graduate next year. The Queen needs more powerful guardians."

This is the self-pity from a senior school girl.

After confirming that the ghost did not exist, the Shokuhou faction's actions only lasted for one afternoon.

Under the leadership of senior sister Junko Fanfeng, they quickly forced the doll pretending to be a white ghost and the person with special abilities into a desperate situation.

On the unwilling face of a certain round-faced girl, she was drowned in the human wave tactics by the powerful Shokuhou faction, leaving only a whimpering sound, and faint words like "I love onee-sama the most" could be heard.

I really hope that Shirai-san could see this scene. Love that is too perverted will not have a good outcome.

This way, Misaka-senpai's pressure can be reduced a little.

However, just when Senior Fanfeng caught the prankster, an invisible white light came out of the doll and attached itself to Senior Fanfeng.

Unbeknownst to almost anyone, a genuine ghost girl actually appeared.

On the other hand, Natsume did not join in the fun.

Not only was she busy asking for advice from Misaka-senpai, she also had to go to Shokuhou-senpai to ask about Indian Poker, and she also had to stake out various places after school in the afternoon.

The short twelve years of life were filled with work.

By the way, Natsume took the initiative to get in touch with this kind of Indian poker just because of curiosity.

However, the number of people around me who use this kind of card is increasing, and combined with Shokuhou-senpai's confident words earlier, it has triggered a sense of crisis.

According to various information obtained from browsing the forum yesterday, Indian Poker can be roughly divided into C, B, A and S levels. Because of her limited money, a certain ball-head only bought a C-level card, but a C-level card made her hesitate.

Even a C-level card can record a complete dream, and the difference in levels is only related to the quality and function of the dream provided by the card. If you buy a card that carries some real skills, you can even achieve an effect similar to initiation.

The usage is also very simple. Just stick it on your forehead. These Indian playing cards will produce a hypnotic or brainwashing effect on the human brain through the weak electric current and aromatic essential oils stored inside the cards.

The most critical step is the person who provides dreams. The person who can stably provide dreams and create this type of cards is the so-called gifted dream path.

Natsume is a little confused about what this gifted dream path means, but there is a popular saying that these gifted dream paths are given by God to people, which allow them to realize their wishes through dreams.

Wish fulfillment, what an attractive thing.

Chapter 430: Forgery

There is everything in dreams.

This may be the best summary of Indian Poker and Talented Dream Road. Maybe such things can really give people a false sense of satisfaction.

Props that can make everyone smile and escape the boring student life day after day are really a blessing in some ways.

Everyone is capable of having dreams that are full of wonder and joy.

It’s just that most students gradually lose this ability as they grow older and are affected by the changing environment, turning them into boring half-adults. This may be the true value of the gifted dreamers.

"We need to understand Indian Poker as soon as possible."

"If there are no serious problems..."

I don’t know where this belief comes from, but Natsume always has a strong desire to learn about such interesting things.

Protecting everyone's dream world and spreading love and happiness is also the job of the discipline committee member.

Today, we are all discipline committee members.

Something seems not quite right.

...

The Seventh District of Academy City, a corner of this ordinary steel forest.

It is located in an ordinary apartment on the third floor, only two buildings away from Misaka Apartment, about eighty meters away in a straight line.

Wearing the school uniform of Kirigaoka Affiliated Middle School and with a smile on his face, Keisaku Kandou is teaching Dolly how to use the latest scroll phone.

Just lightly touch the edge of the scroll to generate a screen through gesture commands.

Due to the limitations of the mobile phone itself, it is not yet able to achieve the level of stereoscopic 3D holographic projection, so its usage does not go beyond the scope of a normal mobile phone.

After finding Dolly again, the girl who liked to cosplay as a nurse seemed to have really become a nurse, and she happily took care of the girl in front of her who was curious about everything.

He forgot all about his work in the Anbu and his studies, and only had eyes for this lost and found friend.

Originally, she was planning to live in Misaka Building or Misaka Apartment, but Dolly didn't like living with too many people, even if they were her younger sisters.

Dolly is different from most of her sisters. She has sound emotions and memories and does not need to have an emotional module implanted again. She is a complete person.

Because he had his own ideas and plans, he and Jingce Kanqu found a clean and spacious apartment nearby to live in.

"Did Xiao Caoqi bring any friends?"

Dolly turned around and saw two pretty girls from Tokiwadai standing in front of the open door.

"Ah, it's the little garden from last time."

Her face immediately showed a look of joy, and Dolly said with surprise, and she and Jingce looked on to welcome the girl group who came together.

Moreover, today was only their second meeting, but Natsume Sonoko had left a deep impression on Dolly.

In the maintenance organization, the girl with a bun on her head stood alone in the corner, just quietly looking at her senior sister crying silently, and then left quietly.

You must be Xiao Caoqi’s friend, that’s great, Xiao Caoqi has made a lot of friends.

"Good afternoon, Dolly. And of course, there's the police watching over there."

After waving her hand, Shokuhou-senpai naturally sat down next to Dolly, just like she did in the workshop before.

"Hello."

The slightly reserved girl with a ball head then followed in. It must be said that Natsume is always very restrained in other people's homes.

As soon as I came in, I found that this was where Dolly and her friends lived.

Is this the place Shokuhou-senpai said she was going to be busy this afternoon?

By the way, since she wanted to ask about Indian Poker, Natsume took the initiative to find Shokuhou-senpai, but in the end she was invited to come to this apartment together.

Although they had only met once, Dolly in front of him seemed to have not forgotten him.

Could it be because Dolly has already connected to the Misaka network?

However, this was the first time she heard the name "Kozonoko". She actually felt nothing wrong at first, after all, Shokuhou-senpai and Keisaku-senpai were both Kosuke and Kotori.

Everyone in Academy City is a caged guinea pig. Even those with super powers or ordinary students seem unable to escape this. This is determined by the students' natural disadvantages.

Even though there is no clear basis for this statement, it can be seen from the fact that some scientists are recklessly conducting dangerous experiments.

Fortunately, after going through the cruel experiment, Dolly's sister, who inherited her memory, can see this bright world again.

Maybe the current Dolly is not the real Dolly, but for Keisaku Kantor and Shokuhou-senpai, it is also a very important redemption.

"Hey, what a great relationship."

"But it's really an extravagance that doesn't match your status. How can a guy like you afford to buy such an expensive thing for Dolly?"

"I remember that because Kihara Gensei issued you a death certificate, Kirigaoka has stopped giving you scholarships, which means your income should be zero now. And for illegal immigrants like you, it's best not to go out on the streets casually."

Shokuhou-senpai held her chin with one hand, her starry eyes narrowed slightly, as if she was thinking about the other party's unknown property.

The property issue is actually secondary. If the identity issue cannot be resolved, it will be a big trouble.

It is easy to fabricate a non-existent student identity out of thin air. The easiest way is to make a fake certificate.
