Temperature Control in Academy City

No wonder he felt familiar, the other party seemed to be the captain of the Black Crow Unit under the Star Track Gate Society.

At that time, the space elevator had just been completed, and there were some conflicts between the two sides, and they did not get along very well.

And with the capture of Letili by the security teachers, the members of the Black Crow Force seemed to have disbanded.

However, due to their previous record of organizing people to stop the security forces, these members of the Black Crow Force were also detained and investigated. Fortunately, most of the responsibility belonged to the Gothic Lolita Letili who issued the order, and they were not released until recently.

"Little Shatora is so pitiful. Not only was she expelled from school, but even the company she worked for went bankrupt. She almost ended up in a juvenile detention center before."

"Recently, I can't even pay the rent, and I don't have any friends around me who can help me, so I had to look for a job. Now you are my personal secretary, helping me understand some things in Academy City."

Handing the briefcase in her hand to the other party, Miss Chise said with some emotion, with her usual gentle smile on her face.

"Well, if that's the case, then we shouldn't hire him."

Natsume Sonoko was slightly stunned, feeling that something was not right.

Having said that, it seems that my mother's ideas are a little different from those of ordinary people.

"But little Shatora is very honest."

"Although he always looks cold, he has a passion that ordinary people don't have. He has also been working very hard these days and has been a great help."

Ms. Tomoyo held her chin with one hand and spoke while thinking seriously.

She always seemed to see the good side.

And thanks to the other party who sorted out the recent changes in land prices in Academy City and collected a large amount of information related to the war, Miss Tomoyo was able to accurately grasp the changes in Academy City.

"Chairman, are we going to the company's temporary location next?"

The girl named Shatora Sekhwenziya stood there with a blank expression on her face, not even looking at the girl with a bun who was looking suspicious, and just spoke seriously.

"No need. I've already booked a hotel I often go to. I'll leave the rest to you."

Ms. Tomoyo responded politely with a faint smile on her face.

It seems that Sonoko and little Sateora have a bad relationship.

But Xiao Yuanzi's overly cautious look is also very cute.

The leader of the "Black Crow Unit" under the Stargate Society, a girl with long black hair and wearing a tights.

One of the passengers on the Orion in the "Miracle of 88" three years ago. When the accident happened, she wished for a miracle, and was affected by the spell of Letilie Tanglod, and accidentally separated the entity of Naruto Arisa. Since then, she has lost the ability to appreciate music, and music is just ordinary noise in her ears.

His father was the captain of the "Orion" and the only victim of the accident, so he was extremely disgusted by the word "miracle".

The rare ability of level 4 is Rare Earth Expansion. It can store and release energy using rare earth metals as a medium. It can carry small pieces of rare earth metals with it for combat and is good at driving drive armor.

Chapter 721: Inseparable and Parent-Child Communication

The sky was gray and even the moon was completely covered by clouds. Only sparse starlight shone through the gaps and fell on the ground.

The head with the bun unconsciously looked out of the car window, and the fast-moving street scenes kept appearing in the pupils like illusory light and shadow. The whole person felt like sitting on pins and needles, and moved back and forth in a child seat that was deliberately covered with soft cushions and equipped with thickened seat belts.

Although I really wanted to maintain some ladylike demeanor in front of my mother and strangers, my body just felt very awkward.

"I'm still a little uncomfortable with this. Both the guy in the driver's seat and the over-the-top safety measures."

"I'm already twelve years old, so I can't be considered a child anymore."

After finally settling down, Natsume Sonoko couldn't help but complain in her heart.

The senior girls in my school have started dating, and students in the same grade have also learned to use cosmetics, but in the eyes of my mother, I am still a child who needs a safety seat.

Well, this is acceptable for the time being. After all, the cushion is still very soft, and the thickened seat belt does not pinch people.

But it was unacceptable to let a guy with a bad criminal record be my mother's personal secretary.

Although she had not yet asked the golden senior to help read the other party's memory, Natsume Sonoko was not as suspicious as her own senior who did not trust others at all, but she also felt that it was necessary to investigate some things, such as the other party's experience after leaving the security building.

Moreover, Natsume Sonoko remembered that the other party should be a user of a fairly high level of ability, but she was not sure about his specific abilities.

Even if he was expelled from his original school and had some bad records, he was able to quickly find a new school willing to accept him due to his status as a person with high-level abilities. For example, the high school department's main school, Jikao Academy, was happy to accept him.

As the head of the Academy City's ability development department, Dianji Academy has been slow to develop its own super-powered people, and the adults there have long been a little hysterical.

In this case, it would be strange for this guy to look for a job instead of looking for a school willing to accept him first.

From this point of view, they are two completely different types of people from Natsume Sonoko.

"We can only stay in Academy City for one day this time. After all, it's just a temporary pass."

"Then before I leave, Little Sonoko and Little Shateora should at least get to know each other."

"By the way, the first step to making friends is to exchange phone numbers. How about going to a restaurant together for dinner?"

With her hands clasped together and a faint smile on her face, Ms. Tomoyo suddenly turned her head to look at the two silent people in the car.

From the very beginning, the atmosphere in the car was a little off.

It seemed that a stranger she didn't like had appeared. Natsume Sonoko, who had a lot to say, sat in the back seat sullenly looking at the scenery.

As for Shatora, she sat in the driver's seat with an indifferent look on her face, not caring at all whether her new chairman had a daughter by his side.

Her eyes were fixed blankly on the action figure of the magical girl Kanami placed at the front of the car, and her attention was obviously diverted.

By the way, Academy City has already achieved a certain degree of driverless driving capabilities, which is also reflected in the car driven by Natsume and his friends.

Even though Shatora was not allowed to drive a car due to her underage status, she did not have to worry about that under computer control.

"Eh."

Natsume Sonoko said "eh" a little unhappily.

"I understand, Chairman."

Listening to something silently, Shatora, who was sitting in the driver's seat, responded indifferently.

"In addition to collecting some business information, Xiao Shatora is also helping to plan the preparations for establishing a research institute. If we don't communicate well, we won't be able to accurately identify the instruments and equipment that best suit Xiao Yuanzi's abilities."

"So, Xiao Yuanzi's willful reaction is not okay."

Miss Tomoyo held her chin with some annoyance and spoke in a gentle tone, then reached out and rubbed Natsume Sonoko's head.

My daughter doesn't seem to trust Shateora, which is very troublesome.

However, Ms. Tomoyo is not a naive person who would easily believe others.

If you want to judge a person, the most reasonable way is to understand each other. Ms. Chise is also trying to understand her new employee through various means.

"The next time I come to Academy City, I will probably have to wait until the day when the building and factory transfer contract is officially signed. By then, I will be able to get Academy City's long-term residence certificate. The specific time may change, but it will be about ten days at most. So during this time, Xiao Yuanzi and Sateora must get along well."

"Besides, some terrible things have happened in this city recently. It's always better for two people to help each other than to face it alone."

Miss Chise suddenly smiled and said.

She was well aware of Academy City's current situation and knew that the war was approaching, but she did not plan to take her own children outside like Misaka Misuzu.

On the one hand, there are enemies outside Academy City who are looking for Sonoko, but they suddenly disappeared following the previous Academy City invasion incident. However, the real information cannot be confirmed except by the parties involved.

On the other hand, there is probably a certain girl with a bun-like hair who is a staunch supporter of Academy City. Her head is full of thoughts about living happily with everyone in Academy City, and she is firmly against people with special abilities leaving Academy City and going outside.

Having lived in Academy City for so long, Natsume Sonoko has long been inseparable from this city.

If Academy City existed on a conceptual level, then she had been deeply trapped in it.

There were few people on the streets at night, and even the oncoming cars seemed extremely rare. Natsume Sonoko and the others quickly arrived at their destination smoothly.

When she got off the car, Natsume Sonoko had saved another number in her phone, and added a tag of "weird woman" to the notes.

She still doesn't like to have too much communication with people who give her a bad first impression.

The hotel that Miss Tomoyo had booked earlier was nearby. After getting off the car, Natsume Sonoko decisively did not mention that she wanted to go back to the student dormitory. She followed her mother to the hotel with a happy face.

Thank God, I finally got rid of that guy who appeared out of nowhere.

Now is the parent-child interaction session that Natsume Sonoko is most looking forward to.

...

The parent-child communication in reality is much simpler than imagined.

After closing the door, Miss Tomoyo sat under the desk lamp and began to organize the documents and tomorrow's itinerary in her briefcase.

Since the day is too tight, it is necessary to shorten the time of various meetings as much as possible.

"Mom, do you still remember the archery senior we met before?"

The first thing she chose was the sofa in the room. While Natsume Sonoko was carefully checking the softness of the sofa, she was unconsciously disturbing her mother's work.

By the way, if it comes to making Yuya-senpai an idol, it seems that his own Daidoji Group can also help.

Chapter 722: Virtual-On and Kanami Live-Action Movie

Although the main business of Daidoji Group is toy manufacturing, it is a comprehensive toy company that integrates a series of peripheral industries such as animation production, copyright operation, and character packaging.

To put it simply, it is the type of animation that is made for the purpose of selling toys, and it has a relatively complete distribution and publicity department.

However, since the Daidoji Group has not yet started specific business in Academy City, these departments are still blank in Academy City.

Fortunately, there are professionals who are familiar with the framework and channels, so it is not difficult to set it up.

At that time, as long as we can make some use of these resources, it will be more reliable than Natsume Sonoko coming up with some inexplicable methods on her own.

"It's the little hunting tiger. Is she in any trouble?"

Miss Tomoyo, who was sorting documents, turned around and said gently, not feeling that her daughter was noisy at all.

She had a deep impression of bow and arrow tiger hunting, probably because she rarely saw a child who was both self-abased and sincere.

Although I wanted to help him with his emotions, since it was our first meeting, I only did it briefly.

After a while, Ms. Chiyo picked up the pencil and made some corrections on a document, chatting with her daughter while distracting herself from her work.

Seemingly worried about something, Miss Chise randomly spread out the documents on the desk, her eyes moving back and forth between several documents.

It’s really hard to choose the future development path of the company in Academy City.

Opening a group branch in Academy City is a very challenging task because the market size and operating costs are not proportional.

The cost of purchasing buildings and factories alone is difficult to recoup through normal market activities in Academy City. Even after the price reduction, the land price is still the highest in the world, which is a fatal problem for a toy company.

Fortunately, Miss Tomoyo is open-minded and has good ideas. Unlike ordinary toy companies, she does not ignore the technological advantages in Academy City.

In fact, she is ready to use Academy City's greatest advantage, high technology, and the current falling land prices to quickly get out of the downturn. She already has a series of plans in mind, such as developing super-intelligent magical girl football and holographic stage toys.

Or, with the help of Academy City's existing data and information materialization technology, a magical girl online game that can be played in the real world could be developed.

I heard that a company in Academy City that used this technology had recently encountered serious internal turmoil, and a game project it developed, which was said to be a next-generation game project called "Virtual-On," had come to a standstill.

Ms. Tomoyo is currently considering contacting the other company and is planning to change the robot fighting part into real magical girl fighting with a dress-up element, and perhaps also add content about defeating demons and saving the world.

Although this technology and the games developed subsequently cannot be easily popularized in the outside world due to the restrictions of Academy City,

But as long as they have the determination to drain the scholarships of the girls in Academy City, work hard to get the young ladies with huge pocket money to spend money, and adopt operational plans such as paid unlocking of related characters and costumes, they may be able to develop into a first-class group.

In this way, the currently very popular magical girl Kanami is Miss Tomoyo's main force in conquering Academy City, and she already has a group of staunch supporters in Academy City.

Although its current audience is still smaller than that of Guatai, the future where everyone waves magic wands and shouts love kicks seems to be coming soon.

"It's a very, very, very big trouble."

Natsume Sonoko walked barefoot to the desk in the guest room, and looked at the various documents and plans scribbled on the desk with some curiosity. Then she clenched her fists and spoke seriously.

"Senior Archer is a very good person. I hope she can have a normal life."

"So I'm now trying to figure out how to make Archery-senpai debut as an idol."

"Of course, I'm not saying that it's a problem to let Yujian-senpai become an idol, but it would be a huge problem if Yujian-senpai didn't become an idol!!"

After organizing her words for a while, Natsume Sonoko blushed slightly and spoke in a rather formal tone.

Then he found a small stool nearby and sat down next to the desk, then pulled Miss Tomoyo's sleeve affectionately.

Natsume is very serious about seeking help from her mother.
