Temperature Control in Academy City

Shokuhou Misaki held her forehead with her hand helplessly and glanced at Shigefuku Shoho with a scrutinizing look.

In fact, today's outing to the aquarium can also be regarded as a collective activity for this small experimental team to relax.

Hokaze Junko and Keisaku Kanto are the candidates for the deputy brains for support purposes, and Mitsuari Ayu is also a member of the team as a consultant. Since she did not avoid Dolly when discussing the experiment with Keisaku Kanto, she is currently one of the insiders.

Among the group of people, only Shigefuku Shoho has nothing to do with the experiment, and the only one who trusts each other may be Natsume Sonoko.

"Eh, it doesn't matter."

"Shigefuku-san will definitely keep it a secret."

Standing between the two of them somewhat awkwardly, Natsume Sonoko spoke again with a headache.

She had no idea what had happened between the two of them. The atmosphere had seemed a little off since they met in the afternoon.

Fortunately, the situation did not develop to the same extent as Shokuhou-senpai and Misaka-senpai, which can be considered a blessing in disguise. It may be the added bonus that I once read Shigefuku-san's memories.

"You can't do this, Xiao Caoqi, don't bully the little sailboat."

Dolly, who was standing by, reached out and put her arms around Shokuhou Misaki's waist, blinked at Shigefuku Shoho, and then spoke seriously.

Dolly seemed to like the girl with pickled cucumber eyebrows and always thought she looked delicious.

"There's really nothing I can do about you."

"Anyway, if she doesn't cause me trouble, I won't bother with her."

After a while, she said something submissive, and Shokuhou Misaki's expression changed slightly. She sighed and spoke.

Apparently, Dolly and Shokuhou Misaki had discussed similar topics before, and it ended with Shokuhou Misaki's complete defeat.

"Tomorrow's experiment?"

In the crowd, Junko Hokaze looked worriedly at the ghost lady floating above her head, and her troubled thoughts finally reached a climax.

Today is coming to an end, but will tomorrow's experiment go as smoothly as they hope?

If the experiment fails, Miss Ghost might disappear completely.

"I totally understand Xiaorun's feelings. It turns out that I am so important to Xiaorun."

As if she had no sense of urgency about the approaching experiment, Miss Ghost happily gathered next to Fanfeng Runzi, smiling and making circles around her.

Chapter 787: Making a Fuss

The sniper equipment is hidden in the lining of the tights that fits the arms, and temporary assembly and shooting can be completed by just slightly twisting the joints.

His footsteps always maintained a distance of about three meters from the figure in front, and the route he had taken was imprinted in his mind in every detail. As long as there was anything wrong, the archer tiger hunter with rich combat experience could react quickly.

"He followed me anyway."

I tried hard to suppress my wildly beating heart and tried to face what had just happened with a normal mind.

The Archer Tiger Hunter, feeling a little dizzy, clutched her violin case tightly, trying to maintain her ladylike posture while looking around her attentively at the somewhat unsettling environment.

It's too quiet, so quiet that it makes people uncomfortable.

Even if it was a newly opened agency, it wouldn't be so outrageous to open it in such an empty building. If this building wasn't located in the core area of ​​the 15th school district, she would have suspected that it had been abandoned long ago.

Moreover, compared to the deserted and empty building in front of her, she actually cared more about the office worker who claimed to be a scout.

Although the other party's behavior is very similar to that of a female office worker engaged in business activities, judging from small details such as breathing rate and muscle contraction, the other party is undoubtedly a well-trained troublemaker.

She obviously didn't seem very experienced in wearing high heels, and there were some abrasions around her ankles, and her center of gravity was still on her toes.

This is a problem that novices will encounter when wearing high heels. In addition to choosing shoes that are not suitable for their height, it is also related to the arch of the sole of the foot. It is said that girls who often wear high heels are prone to flat feet. As long as you pay attention to this point, you can see the gold content of this business woman.

However, even though there are so many things that can be called doubtful, as soon as he hears the tempting words of being able to stand on the glittering stage and become an idol that everyone is paying attention to, Archer Hunter's rationality quickly disappears, and he is suddenly in a state of anxiety.

He's a talent scout, so it's okay to follow him and take a look.

Even if it turns out he's just a liar, she doesn't need to be afraid.

"The group has not officially opened for business yet, so it still looks like what you see."

"But don't worry, as long as we give us some time, both a normal office building and a sparkling stage will be no problem."

"Uh, Archery-san, are you listening?"

Shatora pressed the elevator button to the top floor and smiled as she looked at the self-abased girl who was standing in front of the elevator door.

The other party was obviously not so stupid as to not see the abnormality, but like many adolescent high school girls, she was easily confused by things like becoming an idol.

So the girls in Academy City are much easier to deceive than you think. As long as you find the right person's connection, even the daughter of a wealthy family can be successfully lured home.

"Yes, yes, it's me. I'm sorry. I was a little distracted."

A look of panic appeared on the little face covered by long bangs. The muscles in the Archer Tiger's shoulders tightened slightly and he responded very nervously.

"It's normal to be nervous at first, after all, you have to face a completely unfamiliar idol world. But as long as you get through the rookie stage, it will be fine. Many popular idols have gone through this."

Shatora said with a smile, and began to give examples of popular idols that she knew nothing about.

Since any music would turn into painful noise in her ears, Sateora was actually not interested in idols. However, for the sake of her current job, she still had to learn a little about the current popular elements in Academy City.

It is undoubtedly very difficult for her to complete a complete movie. Fortunately, she doesn't need to actually produce the movie. It is enough to find the right people.

"I see."

After being comforted by this inexplicable scout girl, the archer tiger hunter, who was originally a little nervous, nodded and said.

She was indeed too nervous, and the random thoughts in her head were about to reach the sky.

After hesitating for only a few seconds, the Archer Tiger Hunter lowered his head and followed Shateora's footsteps.

The overly narrow environment of the elevator was not suitable for her to perform at all. If the opponent chose to attack in the elevator, her combat capability would inevitably be greatly limited. This was why she subconsciously stopped in front of the elevator door before.

However, out of his desire to become an idol, after quickly detecting the environment inside the elevator, Archer Hunter made up his mind.

As the elevator climbed upwards, the Archer Tiger Hunter's attention never left Shatora.

The girl finally breathed a sigh of relief when the elevator stopped without any possible attack, but she was immediately excited.

It seemed like she was really discovered by a scout on the street.

"Ms. Scout, am I so suitable for this character called Kanami?"

The top floor of the building finally had some simple furniture and was not as bare as the other floors. Archer Hunter Tiger, feeling a little relieved, spoke uncertainly.

Although the scout initially only praised her figure for being suitable for being an idol, after a little interaction she found out that she was looking for a heroine for a movie called "Magical Girl Kanami".

Seeing the other party being so confident, Archer Hunter Tiger felt that this was very different from her impression of the selection of heroines. At least there should be a large-scale audition.

"You don't have to worry about this one thing. You are the most suitable person."

The corners of her mouth curled up a little, and Shatora actually wanted to tell the other party that she was chosen by a girl with a bun.

But it seems that it is not the right time yet. At least before making this archer tiger hunter willingly become the heroine, it is better to downplay the presence of our eldest daughter a little.

"By the way, if you want to know if you are suitable for a role, using your mouth is ineffective. The simplest and quickest way is to try on the makeup directly."

"Although there is no makeup artist here for the time being, the original look is more in line with Kanami's usual identity as a high school girl. Just changing into a few sets of Kanami's clothes will be enough."

An idea flashed through her mind, and Shatora spoke with interest.

It so happened that the chairman had already mailed over several sets of costumes designed according to the sizes of bow and arrow tiger hunting this morning, so I could try them out first.

Although it might take a long time, seeing that Archer Tiger Hunter was eager to try, Shatora decided to coax him into signing the contract for the female lead role first.

"Natsume-san, what's wrong with you?"

Not long after walking out of the barbecue restaurant, Shigefuku Shoho looked at Natsume, who had become a little quiet since the beginning, with some surprise.

"Um... this... it's nothing."

Natsume Sonoko held the phone tightly in both hands and it took her a while to react, but her cheeks had turned red without her knowing when, and even her ears had turned red.

How could this be possible? What on earth did my mother's secretary do to Senior Sister Gongjian?

[It's just a swimsuit try-on. Kanami's story also includes a scene by the school swimming pool. 】

【Details are the key to determining the success or failure of a movie. 】

On the other end of the phone, Shatora sent a blurry photo of Senior Archer in a swimsuit, and then replied with a tone of "Miss, don't make a fuss."

Chapter 788: 'Tweezers'

In order to attract popularity, anime broadcasted in Academy City often insert bonus segments in the middle of the broadcast to save the declining ratings.

This behavior is also called the "78 Rule" and has been sought after by a large number of energetic young people. Even movies have followed the trend and added swimsuit segments, the purpose of which is naturally to increase box office and popularity.

With such an overly utilitarian or realistic perspective, the reliable minor who serves as the producer of the Kanami project is looking up and down at the bow and arrow hunting tiger that looks like a dressing doll with his chin in his hand.

Just gather up the girl's bangs and change into a cute and lively outfit, and you will get this youthful look that will make your eyes shine.

She felt that the future box office of the movie might be able to sprint towards the top 30 of Academy City's annual box office. Plus, it could also be released outside Academy City, so for the time being, the box office target would be set at three times the investment. Sateora once again raised her expectations.

Hmm? That's about 30 million yen.

After deducting the box office share of theaters and publicity investment, perhaps we can get 100% net income.

In addition, in today's era, the income of a movie is not just as simple as box office. If the copyright is managed a little, the income of the movie may be even higher. This does not include the blessing effect of the live-action movie on the IP of Kanami.

So that's how it is. Is the Daidoji Group's first successful investment in Academy City about to appear? Sateora frowned subconsciously, and she seemed to have become optimistic unconsciously.

But the main reason is that the heroine is too outstanding. Can such an outrageous effect be achieved by just dressing up a little bit as a passerby seen everywhere in the school garden?

"Miss scout, is this all right?"

Archer Tiger Hunter spoke awkwardly, his cheeks turning red.

She was still a little uncomfortable with the glittering look, especially since she had tried on so many beautiful and eye-catching clothes under the arrangement of the other party. Of course, there seemed to be several swimsuits among them.

When hunting, he always disguises himself as a passerby, subconsciously trying not to make himself conspicuous.

Although this is a requirement for Anbu work, it also has a lot to do with her inner inferiority complex.

No matter how much you envy those dazzling existences in your heart, it is difficult to change your inner status quo. This has probably become a kind of inertia.

"No, how can the heroine give up halfway?"

"I have to try all the clothes. Only by fully understanding how Yujian-san looks in different clothes can I find the best sense of shots and atmosphere for future filming."

Shatora shook her head somewhat dissatisfiedly and spoke in a very serious tone.

Even though it was her first time interviewing a female lead, Shatora was surprisingly adept at it, and she looked more and more professional.

She can do everything well, has an ability to adapt to the environment beyond ordinary people, and is meticulous in doing things. This secretary girl is simply too unfair.

I have to say that Natsume's mother did find a treasure, but Natsume himself seemed a little unhappy.

This professional feeling finally dispelled some of the doubts in the bow and arrow tiger hunter's heart. Instead, she became calmer at this time and nodded reluctantly, agreeing with the other party's opinion.

At least she had confirmed that the other party was not a scam company or an attacker. Those scam companies would definitely not prepare so many expensive clothes in advance.

Just from the perspective of bow and arrow tiger hunting, every piece of clothing here is worth a lot of money, and they are basically all handmade fine products.

Whether it is the selected fabrics or the exquisite sewing techniques, they are all eye-catching, and it makes one wonder whether the tailors who sewed these clothes have been practicing since childhood.

However, Archery Hunter Tiger also keenly sensed something unusual. These clothes seemed to be specially prepared for her and they did not get in the way at all when she wore them.

More importantly, these clothes seem to have been made some time ago, and there are traces of temporary modifications in many places.

These traces were well concealed due to ingenious craftsmanship, but they could not be hidden from the bow and arrow tiger hunters who used detection as their main means of combat.

The waist and neckline are both made of the same color but with newer sewing lines. The length of the skirt has also been deliberately adjusted, and even the area near the chest has been made wider, as if to match her more conspicuous figure.

Is this a coincidence?

She was a little unsure.

"I see."

The Archer Tiger Hunter stood there for a while before nodding in response.

Now that she was here, she had to work hard. She was also somewhat thankful that the Anbu 'school' had not assigned her any tasks on short notice.

In fact, the Anbu "school" is now in a state of formal mobilization. However, it is not because of the war incident that is making a lot of noise now, but because of the personal affairs of their leader.

Suction-type manipulators for interference with ultrafine particles are also called 'tweezers'.

The Anbu 'school' is trying to obtain information about this machine in various ways. It has been found that it is the research result of the Subatomic Particle Engineering Research Institute near the Eighteenth School District, and some of the information may have been spread to the outside world through the dream function of Indian Poker.

While this ANBU organization founded by Academy City undoubtedly has ideas of its own, it makes no difference to the Bow Hunter.
