Temperature Control in Academy City

"I'm sorry to have made you worried, Index."

"And this Kihara-san, thank you for taking care of me during this period."

There was an embarrassed smile on her face. Although the girl with a bun kept saying that she was leaving herself to Index's care, she actually fell to the ground suddenly. Index must have been scared during this period.

And just now, she was watching the Quata projection after Misaka-senpai debugged it with great interest with the Misaka sisters, so she actually came back a little late.

At the same time, while watching the holographic projection of Guatai, another thought popped into her mind. It seemed that the body of classmate Fengzhan Binghua was really no different from the holographic projection.

She remembered that Academy City already had holographic projection equipment that could relatively perfectly imitate real touch and optical images, and the ones she bought for her sisters were only very simplified and castrated versions, and the Quata images produced only maintained the level of ordinary optical images.

That kind of high-level holographic projection equipment might be using technology similar to that of Feng Zhan Bing Hua, utilizing the so-called abnormal technology composed of the energy of ability users and aim force fields.

"It's nothing. As long as the garden is fine, that's enough."

With her eyes wide open, she stared at the garden in front of her, and a smile finally appeared on Index's face, which had originally looked a little aggrieved and worried.

"Great, I thought it would be necessary to send you to a specialized ability trauma center."

"But a superpower like you must be careful to maintain balance and moderation in your abilities. If your abilities get out of control and cause a rampage, causing resonance with other superpowers of the same system, although you won't be able to cause an earthquake that affects the entire Academy City, you might still mess up the 18th school district."

Kihara Nayuta packed up her medical supplies and carefully put them back into her schoolbag, her serious tone tinged with a rare sense of nervousness.

"Hey, I get it."

"It was just an accident. I will be more careful next time."

Staring seriously at the discipline committee girl who seemed to know her background, Natsume Sonoko answered word by word.

In fact, much of her basic information should be semi-public among the discipline committee members, so it is normal for her to be recognized.

"It's almost time. I should go on patrol."

Kihara Nayuta gritted her teeth silently, turned around and walked away.

Although she had mentally rehearsed similar situations with the eighth person and had gotten used to his previous motionless appearance, when she actually started chatting with him, the abnormal emotions in her heart became more and more intense.

This feeling was really awkward, and she was somewhat unable to face the existence of the eighth person. In any case, the other party was too special in her heart.

However, her footsteps suddenly stopped ten meters away, and then she took two steps at a time and returned to Natsume Sonoko, causing the two girls to look back frequently.

"I'm Kihara Nayuta, a friend of Banri's sister."

Kihara Nayuta took a deep breath, hiding the coldness and rationality of the Kihara clan deep in her heart, and radiating the kindness and enthusiasm of a normal human being.

What's wrong for an incompetent Kihara like her to have the same feelings as everyone else in Academy City?

"Thank you for your generous assistance to the 'retained essence and abandoned coarse' members of the Advanced Education Bureau. It is of great significance to me to be able to make the 'defective products' of Academy City wake up with a smile!"

Kihara Nayuta closed her eyes, then suddenly opened them with scorching flames bursting out, and spoke almost as if she was shouting. The red backpack shook slightly with the change of the breath in her chest, and even her golden twin ponytails fluttered a little messily.

"Eh. It's nothing. It's been a while. And Banri and the others are all my friends."

"There were other people helping out, and I didn't do anything."

After taking a few steps back, a girl with a bun on her head said hurriedly that she was not quite used to the current atmosphere.

She seemed to have seen a similar look somewhere, and the other person also had twin ponytails. Oh, and the identity of the discipline committee member seemed to be the same.

"Different."

"You can fight against powerful enemies for someone you don't know well, and you never back down even when facing an opponent you can't defeat. I know everything about Natsume-san."

There was a gleam in Kihara Nayuta's eyes. She walked a few steps towards Natsume-san and continued speaking very seriously.

"That's amazing, Sonoko."

Index tilted her head, not quite sure what was going on. She just felt that her garden seemed to have done a lot of good things.

"Well, actually... everything about Banri and the others was my own free will, so there's no need to thank me."

"Index and I have some things to do, so I'll be leaving now. If you have a chance, you're welcome to visit me at the Tokiwadai Student Dormitory."

An anxious look suddenly appeared on her face, and regardless of her still weak body, Natsume Sonoko pulled Index towards the distant road.

She did not forget her current mission, which was to find a way to help Feng Zhan break free from his control.

However, at this moment, the daily lives of Misaka-senpai and Shirai-san came to her mind again, and an unnatural expression immediately appeared on her face.

Although she was very sorry to associate this Kihara Nayuta-san with Shirai-san, which was extremely impolite and offensive, she had no choice but to accept that the impression her own student had made on her by teleportation was too deep.

Given the similarities between the two, Natsume immediately backed down, and it was probably all Shirai's fault.

"I see."

Although she didn't quite understand the eighth person's unusual behavior, Kihara Nayuta just stood there and nodded in response.

"Shall I go to the Tokiwadai Student Dormitory to play with you?"

"There's no need to go through so much trouble. I'll just transfer to Tokiwadai next year."

Kihara Nayuta looked at the back of a girl with a bun who was leaving in a hurry, and seemed to be thinking about something.

She is twelve years old and in the sixth grade of elementary school. It will be time for her to transfer to junior high school next year.

Becoming the eighth-ranked junior schoolmate? That sounds like a good idea.

"Speaking of which, the discipline committee training is almost over this year. Has Banri been selected as a discipline committee member?"

Kihara Nayuta muttered to herself as she remembered something, planning to visit Banri and the others today or tomorrow.

Chapter 499: Feeding

The sun shines on my shoulders, making me feel like a free man.

Passing through the gaps in the shade of the trees and avoiding the food truck on the corner, Natsume Sonoko walked unsteadily with Index for a long distance, and only stopped when they could no longer see their classmate Kihara Nayuta.

It was the first time for her to feel such passionate emotions from someone else, and it made her feel a little overwhelmed.

Although I knew that classmate should be thanking me for helping Banri and the others, my mind was a little confused for a moment. Now I think about it, I seem to have done something very stupid.

It would be a foolish thing for Natsume to deliberately avoid someone who has good intentions towards him.

"It's all because Shirai-san is so perverted."

"Besides, my mind has just returned to my body, and with all the unfavorable factors, my head is a little unclear."

Carefully recalling what she had just said, Natsume Sonoko wondered if she had done anything impolite, but fortunately she didn't find any problems.

"Let's treat Kihara-san well next time."

"But I didn't expect that someone would still remember something that happened so long ago. Although I don't care about others' thanks, I'm still a little happy."

A smile suddenly appeared on Natsume's face again, but it was obvious that he was not sincere.

When being praised and thanked, Natsume actually feels very happy.

"Yuanzi, you were really worrying just now. Is there something wrong?"

With her hands on her knees and breathing slightly, she raised her head to look at a girl with a bun. Index finally had time to ask Sonoko about her abnormality just now.

"Index, I think I have found a way to help Feng Zhan-san live a normal life."

"Although I'm not 100% sure, I want to give it a try."

His expression changed, and Natsume-san thought for a moment before responding.

She didn't answer Index's question directly because that period was really difficult and there was no need to make her friends worry too much.

As long as he deduces the 'formula' data in his head to the most primitive level, Natsume will be able to understand how the guy behind the scenes uses the aim field energy.

Even a tiny part of it represents a new possibility.

Unfortunately, she couldn't record more data for the time being. Although the pain in her head had subsided, it would take a long time for the messy feeling to return to normal.

And with just the data that Natsume has collected now, as long as he gives the sorted formula to Feng Zhan when the time comes, Feng Zhan's situation should be much better.

Even if the other party only regards Feng Zhan as a platform for releasing his abilities, since Feng Zhan has the ability to think, he must have the ability to calculate.

As long as he calculates the formula like a person with special abilities, Feng Zhan might be able to stay in the real universe for a long time.

However, there is still a very serious problem, that is, Natsume doesn't know how the other party brought Fuzan out of the imaginary number area, which is also a problem that needs to be solved.

But there are actually quite a few ways to gather the aim force field in reality. Natsume knows that the simplest way is to gather everyone's force field and allow quantitative change to achieve qualitative change.

Simply put, it requires the anchoring of a large number of people with special abilities in order to materialize the AIM force field energy in the real universe.

"So if the target is Feng Zhan-san, who would she need as an anchor?"

With mixed thoughts in his mind, Natsume couldn't help but feel confused, but he couldn't find the answer.

In short, let's take it one step at a time. A good plan should be adapted to local conditions.

Perhaps when the mastermind sends Feng Zhan back to the Imaginary Number District, she will be able to observe it clearly.

...

Classmate Feng Zhan was still under the observation of Natsume Sonoko, and time began to move from morning to noon.

I did not choose to reunite with Feng Zhan immediately because Natsume and the others' plan was still being implemented.

Although data cannot be recorded in the short term, it is still very important to find out what the mastermind behind the scenes wants to do.

In fact, Natsume was unconscious for a full hour and a half. No wonder Index was so anxious at the time.

But seeing Index holding a bun-head lunch box with a happy look on her face, you can tell that she has fully recovered.

"Tsuchimikado-san, thank you for your help."

Looking somewhat embarrassedly at the little maid who had come all the way to District 18, Natsume Sonoko said with a blushing face.

"What can I do? I can't let the seriously injured soldiers who sneaked away go without food."

"I knocked on the door of 210 for five minutes, but I didn't even see Natsume. No one would have thought that a temporarily blind person would run to another school district more than ten kilometers away."

"By the way, Natsume-san is really lucky today. It seems that your dorm supervisor has to stay in Tokiwadai for the whole day due to some trivial matters. I heard that he is discussing the promulgation of new dorm rules in the external student dormitories. Otherwise, he would have rushed over to arrest Natsume-san after seeing his condition."

Sitting on the local cleaning robot of the 18th school district, a little maid was sitting upright with her hands on her hips and saying something. A serious look appeared on her face, but her tone was still leisurely.

Anyway, someone made her very angry today, and she finally made a phone call to catch the girl with the bun who went against the wishes of the dormitory supervisor.

And how come Natsume-san is hanging out with Index?

According to the time, Index should be working in the supermarket now.

"Really delicious."

"As long as I eat Wuxia's lunch box, I feel like I'm coming back to life. It turns out that there's no way I can leave Wuxia."

Index said with a happy face, the lunch box in her hands was already empty.

She hadn't replenished her energy for more than an hour. If she delayed any longer, she might collapse from hunger on the street.

Fortunately, Sonoko didn't have a big appetite. She only ate one-third of the whole box of nutritious lunch and gave the rest to Index herself.

This is also because Tsuchimikado specially used an extra-large lunch box. Maybe it was because he saw that a certain girl with a bun was getting thinner and thinner recently, so he wanted her to eat more.

Unfortunately, Natsume's stomach is only so big that he can't eat much, plus he has eaten a lot of snacks before.

"How shameless you are, Index."

The small cleaning robot was carrying Tuyuanmen Wuxia and spinning in circles, and the pouting little mouth on its face looked particularly conspicuous.

In fact, she was already very familiar with Index.

The Index in front of him was not only a resident near his brother Motoharu Tsuchimikado's house, and was staying at Kamijou Touma's house, but she also seemed to have memorized his route, and he could always meet this pitiful little nun who was always hungry at some intersections.

Perhaps because of the soft-hearted Maixia who always feeds Index, the relationship between the two has long heated up to a level that attracts attention.

Chapter 500: The Crumpled Armband

There was no dust on the blue and white maid outfit, and the Katyusha on her head combed her hair tightly together, leaving a wide, smooth and shiny forehead.

Having said that, Wuxia’s forehead is really hard to look away from.

Index couldn't help but think as she secretly glanced at Tsuchimikado's forehead.

And even such a fresh and capable maid, after scolding a certain psychic and the magical girl next to her for several minutes, her sharp words finally softened.

There's really nothing you can do about them. This is probably the fate of being an excellent maid.

Worrying about the friends around you can probably be considered a kind of happiness.

"Great! If the dorm supervisor finds out, I'll be screwed."
