Temperature Control in Academy City

In addition, since she owed Xiao Caoqi such a big favor this time, she would not be able to justify snatching Xiao Run away in the future.

And if her memory fails to return, she will never see Xiaorun again, but Xiaorun is still thinking about being with Xiaocaoqi.

Although she might have disappeared long ago if Xiao Caoqi and the others hadn't insisted, it's still different after all.

"Don't be angry. I am also looking forward to meeting Miss Ghost after she wakes up. It can be said that this is the most important thing I look forward to more than anything else."

"The Queen must think so too. Everyone is working hard for this."

Hofeng Junko turned around, with a look of helplessness and doting on her face, and spoke in a doting tone.

"really?"

The invisible ghost lady floated to Hokaze Junko's ear and spoke cautiously to confirm.

"of course."

"No matter what, Miss Ghost, who is full of energy now, has become an important treasure that I cannot give up."

Hokaze Junko's expression gradually became serious, and she spoke word by word.

While Hokaze Junko was speaking, Natsume, who was lying on the hospital bed, nodded in cooperation. Although he could not hear what Miss Ghost said, the only thing he had to do at this time was to nod.

It looks like Senior Fanfeng is having a conflict with Miss Ghost again. They have such a good relationship.

"Ah, my goodness, Hokaze is also an important treasure that I cannot give up."

"Even if someone wants to steal it, they will fail again and again. However, in order to experience the joy of victory again and again, even the opponent who wants to steal the treasure is worth helping with all your strength."

With gorgeous dance steps, every move exudes a strong sense of nobility.

The girl, blinking her beautiful starry eyes, came up to the girls and interrupted their conversation with dignity.

"Shokuhou-senpai, you're exaggerating."

Natsume Sonoko subconsciously got up from the hospital bed and carefully moved Miss Ghost's sleeping body back to a position near the middle of the bed.

I have to say that Senior Fanfeng's massage techniques are really effective. The back pain all over my body has basically disappeared.

"Queen.."

Senior Fanfeng's face became redder and she spoke shyly.

"The data collection results are very good. It seems that the success of the experiment is more likely. As long as the safety measures are completed, we can conduct the formal experiment."

"But there is a one-day break in between, and we can't help Mr. Kiyama with the safety of the experiment. So in order to adjust everyone's mood, let's go to the aquarium together in the afternoon."

"I have a child here too, and I've been wanting to go for a long time."

Shokuhou Misaki forced a playful smile and prepared to skip work for a day tomorrow.

Oh, there are still many things to do.

But none of them is as important as making the people around you happy.

She had no way of guaranteeing that the final experiment would be successful, so at least before failing, she should keep some good memories. Even if she cried, she had to have a reason to cry.

Chapter 745: Successor to a wealthy toy industry family

Put down your work and go on a spontaneous trip with the people you care about.

Although the scope was limited to the more than 20 school districts in Academy City and the destination was the aquarium that had been decided long ago, it was still a rare experience for Shokuhou Misaki.

It seemed like she hadn't done something that seemed like a normal junior high school girl should do for a long time.

Speaking of which, what should a normal junior high school girl look like?

Shokuhou-senpai thinks that she is probably the kind of girl who likes to spend her time on various social activities, is full of curiosity about the outside world, and exudes the scent of youth from her pores.

It seems that my little garden may not be normal. At least it seriously lacks the youthfulness it should have and is lazy all day long.

"Hey...hey, hey, did the Queen just say she wanted to go to the aquarium?"

Her brain paused for three or four seconds, and then suddenly she reacted and widened her eyes in surprise.

Although she had been with the Queen for so long, she had rarely heard the name of a place that was simply used as an amusement facility from her mouth.

It’s not that there are no entertainment activities on weekdays, but the Queen basically will not take the initiative to enter those off-campus occasions with dense crowds and complex environments.

A fragile mage like the Queen might be killed instantly in that environment.

"Hehe, I think Xiaorun should be more concerned about the 'child over there' that Xiaocaoqi mentioned?"

"Xiao Run should understand after hearing this. Xiao Caoqi has someone else in her heart! There is already Xiao Run in school."

An expression of "as expected" immediately appeared on Miss Ghost's face, and then she started to make a fuss as if she was having fun, circling around Senior Fanfeng's head.

"Queen, who is your child over there?"

Fanfeng Runzi was prodded by the ghost lady in her ear and said this a little embarrassedly.

"This one? It's Dolly."

"He's a friend I met during the external brain replacement project."

Shokuhou-senpai said with a smile, an inexplicable emotion in her expression.

The real Dolly had been destroyed in past experiments, and the current Dolly is just a younger sister who inherited the real Dolly's emotions and memories.

Memories and emotions are components that determine personality, but what truly constitutes a person is the body and even the more mysterious soul.

Strictly speaking, Dolly is now just a familiar stranger.

But there is no point in discussing such things now. For Shokuhou Misaki, Dolly is Dolly, the redemption she has finally obtained.

“Shokuhou-senpai, is it really okay for so many people to go together?”

Natsume Sonoko raised her eyebrows slightly and said uncertainly.

Although Dolly is not a shy girl, Natsume Sonoko doubts whether Dolly can adapt to the transition from family trip to group outing.

She would definitely not be happy about it. The more strangers who travel together, the more trouble it would cause.

"That's fine, right? Dolly has already tried to make new friends, so she should be willing to meet more people."

Shokuhou Misaki thought for a moment and continued.

"A new friend? Could it be the Last Work who lives next door?"

"That's right."

“…”

"By the way, I don't think she would like to look at fish."

Natsume Sonoko tilted her head and couldn't help but mutter with some concern.

Last Order is probably the most lively of all the sisters, and also the most emotional. Natsume Sonoko still clearly remembers that she rejected her and ran off with a gray-haired guy.

This made Natsume Sonoko depressed for several days, and she even began to doubt whether she was liked by other children.

The last thing that Last Order likes to do is to vent his energy, which is commonly known as having fun. I heard that the sisters living in Misaka Apartment have started to lock the door now, just to prevent a stupid Misaka from running in and having an adventure.

Every time something was lost in the apartment, it was easy to pin the blame on Last Order.

However, since there was a big white-haired devil in Last Order's room, the sisters could only wait outside the room and confront Last Order.

Speaking of which...Natsume Sonoko suddenly frowned.

If Last Order also insisted on going together, then she might have to visit the aquarium with that white-haired guy.

"Probably not."

Natsume Sonoko forced a smile, thinking that it would surely not get that bad.

.....

The aquarium we plan to visit tomorrow is located in the 15th school district, and the new building that Natsume Sonoko’s family just bought is also located in the 15th school district.

It’s just that the aquarium named Celestial Water Sphere is located in the prime location of the core commercial area of ​​the 15th school district, and the land price is comparable to the outer area of ​​the school garden. The new building of Natsume Garden is just a marginal corner of the core area and is an ordinary commercial building.

Although it is unclear why a mere aquarium was built in such an expensive place, as a well-known building similar to the surrounding landmark building "Diamond-like", it may have some unknown special functions.

Leaving the abandoned building of the talent workshop, the tool man Natsume Sonoko gloriously completed her research work, even though she was being researched by others.

It seemed that he finally remembered what was happening with his mother, and that Miss Tomoyo's stay was about to expire. She was still chatting leisurely, but the next second a girl with a bun hurriedly said goodbye to her senior and went to the building that had been named Daidoji Commercial Building.

In order to save time, Natsume Sonoko deliberately gave up the option of taking a car, and quickly rushed towards her own building with two balls of manic air.

I forget everything before I know it and it seems like I’m already too late.

"Is it too late already?"

Natsume Sonoko stood in front of the tightly closed door of the building, biting her lip and speaking somewhat unwillingly.

Although her mother will be able to obtain a permit to reside in Academy City soon and can stay in Academy City for a long time, Natsume Sonoko still wants to stay with her mother for a while longer.

At this time, her attention was focused on the building in front of her, and a strange feeling arose in her heart again.

This fifteen-story building is where she will live in the future. She really wants to graduate from high school quickly and move in.

But the embarrassing thing is that Natsume Sonoko doesn't seem to be qualified to enter the building yet, as her mother has already asked a girl named Sateora to manage the building.

"Moshimoshi, is this Miss Natsume?"

After standing in front of the gate for a while, Natsume Sonoko reluctantly dialed the number she had just saved. After a while, Sateola's voice came from the other end of the phone, and she emphasized the word "young lady".

Although she had told her this morning not to use honorifics like "Miss," it seemed that Sateora really respected Natsume Sonoko, the future successor to the toy industry giant.

Chapter 746: I Don’t Want Second-Hand Equipment

As a model of re-employment for Anbu personnel, a high school dropout named Shatora successfully found a well-paid job in Natsume Sonoko's home.

Assassination raids, escorting important personnel, cleaning up traitors, leading teams, transporting goods... these Anbu business skills are no longer useful now. As long as she can use the basic intelligence gathering capabilities of the Anbu, Shatora can perfectly handle the secretary work of this company. Now her life is so leisurely that she feels like she has retired.

She pressed her palms down along the sides of her body and slightly straightened the wrinkled hem of her suit skirt.

Shatora leaned against a translucent glass wall and took off her black high heels with a frown.

This standard product bought from a roadside store does not hurt the feet, and the size is just right. However, for the former Anbu personnel, it is still a very novel experience to change from combat flat shoes to business high heels.

Fortunately, the dark forces also have the need to wear makeup and infiltrate, and Shatora is very adaptable to this change.

"My new life?"

“I don’t know whether this choice is right or wrong.”

Shatora was holding her high-heeled shoes in one hand and her cell phone in the other. The voice of a girl with a bun on her head kept coming from the microphone.

He is obviously a person with super powers but he is so petty. She has a basic understanding of some of the bad qualities of the Eighth.

In fact, Shatora did not have a bad impression of the chairman's daughter, and her previous hostile behavior in the Star Track Gate Society was only in the employ of the Gothic Lolita Leti.

Moreover, she thought that there was nothing wrong with the eighth person's malice towards her. She was indeed not a good person and was capable of taking out her anger on innocent people. However, she also felt that when dealing with malicious words, she should respond with a corresponding attitude.

Unfortunately, the eighth one seems to be the daughter of her employer. So in order to avoid losing her job, Shatora chooses to adopt a cold and emotional approach, calmly handling the kind of junior high school girl who has not seen much of the world.

"I see. It turns out that Miss Natsume wants to open the access control permission for the Daidoji Building."

"Then in order to save Miss's time as much as possible, I will temporarily adopt the simplest method for Miss. See, in the waiting room open to the public on the right side of the main gate of the building, there are several face scanning machines, which can temporarily produce ID cards with different time limits according to the different permissions of visitors. I have entered Miss's permissions into the computer, which is equivalent to the permissions of the directors of the Daidoji Group. Although the machine in the waiting room can only produce temporary IDs, there is no difference between the temporary card of the director and the official ID card."

"Eh? I almost forgot something very important. Miss is too tall to reach the camera of the machine, so unfortunately we can only collect it manually. But there is a remedy. I remember there should be a foldable child seat in the corner of the waiting room. Miss can step on it..."

There was no emotion in Shatora's tone, and her face was somewhat serious, but the slight curve at the corner of her mouth seemed to say something.

Obviously, the easiest way would be for her, as the secretary, to make an ID card and then take a taxi to deliver it to Miss Natsume, but it was obvious that Ms. Sateora didn't even mention it.

The one who paid me was the chairman, not the eighth person. And the chairman asking me to help take care of her children was already extra work.

"You don't need to worry about this."

Natsume Sonoko hung up the phone with a dissatisfied look on her face, her tone full of unhappiness.

Although the woman said a lot of things seriously and sounded like she was considering her, Natsume Sonoko always felt that there was something else going on in her words.

Stepping on a ball of soft air, the girl, who had temporarily grown 15 centimeters taller, finally allowed her entire face to be within the camera's shooting range. After a black ID access card was spit out from the machine, Natsume Sonoko finally revealed a relaxed smile.

The Daidoji Building still uses the common ID card swiping management mechanism, which is also the most common way to identify people in Academy City.

However, verification methods such as face, pupil, and fingerprint are not as popular as ID cards at present. The main reason is probably that the ID cards of Academy City are still used to record students' personal information, which is the so-called student card.

The Daidoji Building has fifteen floors. Except for the lobby on the first floor which has some heavy sculptures and plant landscapes, the entire building looks a bit empty.

Most of the employees who originally worked here have left, leaving only the security personnel hired by the three nearby buildings and some logistics staff responsible for the building itself.
