Temperature Control in Academy City

Chapter 780: Hard to Serve

Shokuhou Misaki does have some interest in Shigefuku Shoho, but compared to the former interest in Mitsuari Ayumu and Keisaku Kandou, these little fights that only stay at the school level at most seem boring.

As long as the girl with twin buns in front of her can maintain basic restraint and not cause an incident like a factional war in school, Shokuhou Misaki actually has extremely strong patience.

After all, she is not the kind of unreasonable girl, and Shokuhou Misaki can fully understand what is going on in her head.

She has read his memory since the first day he entered the school. She may know more about Shigefuku Shoho than a certain girl with a bun.

"Playing with other people's brains while setting some insurmountable bottom lines, as long as you hold on to this kind of self-contradictory idea, similar troubles will surely increase."

Shokuhou Misaki was thinking about something with a hint of self-mockery, and she shook her head and no longer paid attention to the little episode with Shigefuku Shoho.

As long as she is around, this classmate Chongfu will never be able to cause any trouble.

Especially after the Indian Poker attack, her control over the school increased again. This was also the reason why many of the guys she had pushed into a corner started to form a group and even started to join Natsume's club.

"Eh, is that so?"

Natsume Sonoko continued speaking with some concern.

She suddenly thought that it might be due to Shigefuku's bad reputation.

The dark history of the attack on Tokiwadai is not so easy to erase, and Shokuhou-senpai might be acting strangely because of this.

Fortunately, this embarrassing atmosphere did not escalate further, as if the music suddenly stopped at its climax, and some of the pressure that was gradually increasing quickly dissipated.

It seems that several parties involved have not forgotten the main reason for coming here.

"Natsume-san is still so slow."

Chongfu Shengfan muttered softly and sighed silently in his heart.

Although she knew that this tit-for-tat approach was completely useless, she couldn't help but get impulsive when she saw Shokuhou Misaki.

This is probably another case of dreaming at night about what you think about during the day.

Because there are too many things in your head that you want to achieve, if your execution is too strong, you will lose control if you are not careful.

Tickets for the Celestial Water Ball are much more expensive than one might imagine, and are considered extremely expensive in Academy City.

Fortunately, because there are so many rich women around her, even the penniless Natsume Sonoko can walk through the door of the aquarium with her head held high.

Moreover, since Senior Jingce used the anonymous bank card of an Anbu "personnel" to pay for the ticket money this time, it can actually be considered as a treat from Academy City.

"Can I call you Xiaofan? It sounds like a sailing ship on the sea, giving people a very dynamic feeling."

Dolly passed through the ticket gate and skipped to the front of the crowd.

After a while, she took the initiative to come to Shigefuku Shoho who had just entered the room. She suddenly became curious about this girl who had a similar hairstyle to Xiao Yuanzi.

"Hey, this... is okay."

Shigefuku Shoho's eyes were immediately attracted by the beautiful aquarium in front of him. He was slightly stunned when he heard Dolly's words, and it took him a while to speak.

"So, little sail... hehe, little sailboat."

"Xiao Caoqi is the type who speaks tough but is soft on the inside. In fact, Xiaofan is very welcome to come play with her. Don't be fooled by her stubborn appearance."

“I have real experience with this.”

With her hands hanging comfortably on her small schoolbag, Dolly looked up happily at the large transparent aquarium above her head and said with a grin.

Xiao Caoqi is often not so honest, and she is always thinking about some self-righteous things in her heart.

However, many things can't be deceived if you get to know them for a long time. As for Xiao Yuanzi's friends, Xiao Caoqi also tried hard to treat them as her own friends.

"how is this possible?"

Shigefu Shengfan widened his eyes in disbelief.

Can the idiom "hard on the outside but soft on the inside" really be used to describe Shokuhou Misaki? Shigefuku Shoho expressed his doubts.

Although Shokuhou-san seemed very enthusiastic, she also felt a strong sense of pressure at the same time. This did not seem like a welcome at all.

It can even be said that Shigefuku Shoho felt that he was almost on the blacklist of Shokuhou-classmate, and this was definitely closely related to the enthusiast club.

As long as Natsume's club officially appears in Tokiwadai Junior High School, it will definitely have a huge impact on the Shokuhou faction.

However, Chong Fushengfan did not expect that the club she had just formed would develop so quickly. She had expected that the current number of people would grow by the end of this semester.

She seemed to have completely underestimated the appeal of people with esper powers and the power of opponents of the Shokuhou faction.

......

I heard that the Celestial Water Sphere was originally built as an academic venue to study the habits of aquatic life, but now no matter how you look at it, it looks like a leisurely attraction designed for tourists.

In every aspect, they focused on something called immersion. The empty hall was already filled with the shimmering feeling of the ocean. There were also a large number of fish statues carved out of stone. When some light shone on these statues, they actually felt vaguely alive.

The beautiful scenery makes people feel like they are in the sea for a moment. They can feel the sea breeze blowing by stretching out their hands. Even their noses are involuntarily filled with the salty and refreshing smell of sea water.

Near the middle of the hall, there is a sightseeing elevator that goes directly to the upper aquarium. Dolly, with a serious face, pulled Xiaocaoqi and Xiaoqu beside her to the front, and only pressed the switch excitedly after everyone was there.

As the elevator door opened, a glass tube that could accommodate four people abreast appeared in front of the girls.

“It feels almost like a holographic projection.”

Natsume Sonoko commented in a somewhat nonsensical manner. She was probably less interested in looking at the fish than in the weapons exhibition.

She doesn't even care about the deliberately created feeling of floating in the sea. She can simulate it almost anywhere and anytime. This picky girl is so hard to please.

However, unlike people like Natsume Sonoko who had completely different train of thought, even the follower Mitsuari Ayu, who had originally looked indifferent, showed a stunned expression, and seemed to have no resistance to this deliberately created atmosphere.

Looking out through a layer of sightseeing glass whose thickness was unclear, they saw hundreds of groupers swimming in schools on both sides of the glass passage where they were.

In just a moment, most of the light in the field of vision was blocked, leaving only fragmented light and shadows that were deeply imprinted in everyone's pupils.

"Now I remember, this seems to be the fish that was cooked in the cafeteria a few days ago."

Natsume Sonoko pondered for a while, then muttered something as if she suddenly realized something.

Chapter 781 Fun

Fish always tastes very good, whether it is braised or steamed.

In Academy City, sashimi and other dishes are quite popular. When paired with some strange seasonings that make people addicted, they have a unique flavor if eaten occasionally.

In short, there are thousands of different ways to eat fish.

However, the aquarium definitely does not provide barbecue and cooking services, and even bringing your own tableware is prohibited. Natsume Sonoko wandered around in place, looking at the many fish in front of her with regret, which she had seen for the first time in her life. It took her a while to pretend to be calm and retract all her strange thoughts.

Although I really want to taste it, I have a deep-seated fear of fish bones.

So if the maid had not carefully picked out the fish bones and made the delicious fish stew that would make people's mouths water, Natsume Sonoko would immediately fall into a terrible vortex of dilemma.

If she lost her maids in the future, her future would definitely become bleak.

This is totally the kind of pretentiousness that only a rich girl can have. She thinks she is an ordinary girl, but in fact she has long been out of touch and has become a useless character with nothing to do except her abilities and studies.

Just like what a certain scoundrelly boy said, they are simply living in two completely different worlds.

"Ah, fish."

A few steps away, Dolly's somewhat excited voice had reached the ears of Natsume Sonoko, who was still hushing and sighing.

His hands and face were pressed against the transparent glass wall like a gecko covered with suction cups. His bright eyes were fixed on the schools of fish swimming by, and he jumped up and down as if he had discovered a new continent.

Dory saw the ocean for the first time, or at least a substitute that looked similar.

The guardian, Jing Cekan, folded his arms and looked a little dazed, his attention seemed to be attracted by the school of fish.

However, her eyes would fall on Dolly from time to time, and her doting mood would even suppress the romantic atmosphere around her. As long as she saw Dolly happy, she felt a deep sense of satisfaction.

Dolly, who was trapped in the research institute and never took a step out until the end of her life, can finally see what she wants to see.

Although the Dolly in front of him was just a younger sister who inherited the real Dolly's memories and emotions, like two similar flowers, Jingce could see that she had undoubtedly obtained something called redemption.

Dolly is Dolly, there is no difference between real and fake.

Jingce Kanqu's mind had completely fallen into a vortex called Dolly, and he could no longer extricate himself or escape from it.

"There's really nothing we can do about Dolly. Her saliva and snot are sticking to the glass."

"I wonder who did you learn this carefree personality from?"

Subconsciously lifting up her long hair, Shokuhou Misaki, whose whole body was shining, sighed slightly and couldn't help but speak, but the joy in her eyes could not be concealed no matter what.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Dolly has been looking forward to this for a long time."

His face was full of doting. Jing Ce looked at him without turning back, but just responded softly.

"Here, here, Xiaotori, Xiaosouki. Look here, it's a shark."

After a while, Dolly suddenly opened her mouth and looked at a great white shark passing over everyone's heads in shock.

The giant carnivorous shark, which was over six meters long, was grinding its teeth and circling along the outside of the passage without looking away. Its snow-white belly was exposed to everyone's sight without reservation, and if you looked closely, you would find that it seemed to be much whiter than the girls present.

If we compare it just from the perspective of skin color, probably only some white hair wandering around somewhere can firmly suppress it.

"I lost."

Shokuhou Misaki thought unwillingly, not knowing when she started to pay attention to the quality of her skin.

Maybe because it was almost evening, there were not many people in the celestial water ball at this time. I walked along the glass passage for a long time without seeing anyone else.

As the walking speed became inconsistent, the girls' team soon became a little loose, and the straight-line distance between the two ends of the team could even reach fifty meters.

The last ones to fall behind were naturally Dolly and her group. The follower Mitsuari Aiyu crowded around Dolly and her group like a light bulb, following a battle plan of "I am not embarrassed, but others are embarrassed".

The one walking in front is Senior Fanfeng. Considering that there is Miss Ghost next to Senior Fanfeng, they can be seen as two people.

It’s just that most people can’t see the existence of Miss Ghost. At this moment, Senior Fanfeng looks a bit like a socially anxious character who is ignored by everyone and walks around the aquarium alone.

As for the guy with a bun and Shigefuku Shohan, they were undoubtedly in the middle of the team.

The two girls walked slowly in the narrow tunnel. It was more like a simple chat between friends than a tour.

"Don't you like the feeling of the ocean, Natsume-san? I think it's nice to try this feeling once in a while."

"Huh? That looks like a longnose fish and a scorpionfish..."

She tried hard to maintain the appearance of a dignified lady, but the nervousness in her expression betrayed Shigefuku Shoho's mood. She pointed a hand at a corner of the school of fish and said hesitantly.

Shigefuku Shoho really likes this romantic atmosphere, and he also likes the fish. I heard that the moonlight at night will increase the romance by half, so I am looking forward to it even more.

But compared to this deliberate romantic atmosphere, she still prefers to be with her own classmate Natsume.

Although my own Natsume Sonoko doesn't look very smart and is pursing her lips as if she is worried about something, this is her true appearance.

He doesn't know how to hide his thoughts, and he can't keep up his expressionless face, making him look stupid.

"I can't really say whether I like it or not. I just feel like it's so ordinary that it's meaningless."

"It feels like the ocean is everywhere, just like the sky and the earth. It feels like a big sale at a roadside supermarket. The half-price potato chips are good, but they are just potato chips."

Natsume Sonoko was slightly stunned and thought for a while before answering.

She had actually seen the ocean many times, the most recent time being when she sneaked out of Academy City and tried to throw that God into the sea.

Since I can go to the sea whenever I want, I don’t have too many feelings about it.

"Is that right?"

Shigefuku Shoho blinked and said in surprise.

I guess people in Academy City don’t usually see the ocean, and using potato chips as a metaphor doesn’t seem quite appropriate.

"But, I still like it when I'm with everyone."

"For example, going to a park you've been to many times always feels different when you have friends around you."

After hesitating for a while, Natsume Sonoko continued.

She lacks sufficient interest in many things, but she can find some fun occasionally.

Chapter 782: Full of energy

The sky gradually became overcast, and the thick clouds covering the sky above the aquarium added a gloomy feeling.

The light in the sea is undoubtedly bluer and quieter than that in the sky. When you are in it, it seems that even your sensitivity to light is sharply reduced.

Even though I could clearly feel the existence of the glass passage under my feet, and every step I took reminded me that I was actually a mammal with upright legs, my perception of the building entity was still disappearing quickly, and the strong sense of immersion was invading my vision and hearing unscrupulously.

After a while, it felt like I was really in the ocean. Even my brain was deceived and I felt refreshed from the inside out.
