Temperature Control in Academy City

"Even if I can only stay in the research institute, it will be good for Banri and the others."

"Hey, you're welcome. You also helped me last time, Mr. Kiyama." Natsume Sonoko responded hurriedly, referring to the time when Kiyama Haruo taught her how to master the tornado wings.

"Teacher Kiyama, don't worry. We will find the original sample soon, and Banri and the others will be able to live a normal life."

Natsume Sonoko encouraged Teacher Kiyama and thought that the original sample should be in the hands of the woman with the word "Kihara" in her name.

The car drove onto the street near the student dormitory in Tokiwadai and stopped in the shadows where no lights could reach.

After opening the car door, Natsume Sonoko was about to get out when she felt a pain on her head. A strand of her hair was pulled out and her bun was shaking.

"Teacher Kiyama, what are you doing!" Natsume Sonoko raised her eyebrows and looked at Teacher Kiyama, who had an expressionless face in the car seat, with some dissatisfaction.

"It's okay, I just noticed that there was some dirt on your head, Sonoko." Kimiya Haruo said slowly and calmly.

"Really?" Natsume Sonoko hesitated, as if she was still considering the truthfulness of Kiyama Haruo's words.

"Goodnight then, Natsume-san."

The car door closed automatically, and with the roar of the car's engine, the blue Lamborghini gradually disappeared from Natsume Sonoko's sight.

Standing on the street, a certain Natsume Sonoko put an ID card in her pocket.

When I was at the research institute, Mingtu Zhuihun gave me an ID card of an intern assistant researcher at the institute, and the information on it was also Natsume Sonoko's.

Although I only use this ID card to enter and exit the research institute, I have become an employee of that research institute to a certain extent, at least it is recorded in the computer system.

This feeling was a bit strange. Was she a researcher now? The only difference was that she was not paid as a researcher. She was considered an intern.

[Name: Natsume Sonoko]

【Position: Internship Assistant Researcher】

[Affiliated unit: Independent research institution of the seventh school district]

When Natsume Sonoko walked out of the shadows, she found that the dorm supervisor was already waiting at the gate of the student dormitory.

Natsume Sonoko happened to meet the eyes of the dorm supervisor and felt inexplicably flustered, but it didn't matter, she was not late and the dorm supervisor was still very principled.

Walking into the dormitory facing the gaze of the dorm supervisor, Natsume Sonoko finally breathed a sigh of relief, but there was still that familiar feeling of oppression.

The hall was brightly lit, and all preparations for the Midsummer Festival had been completed. Tokiwadai students gathered in the hall in groups of three or four, discussing matters concerning the Midsummer Festival, with bursts of laughter audible from time to time.

Chapter 105: Don't be distracted while working

"Hey~hey~hey, come and try on this maid outfit that Kuroko specially customized for you, Onee-sama."

Walking up the stairs to the second floor of the student dormitory, Natsume Sonoko could hear Shirai's unique rhythmic voice from afar.

The door of dormitory 208 suddenly opened, and Misaka-senpai ran out of the dormitory in some embarrassment, followed by Shirai-san holding up a maid outfit.

Shirai-san had a barely perceptible odd smile on her face, her twin ponytails swaying as she circled around Misaka-san and Qin Wang.

"Kuroko, I will never wear this maid outfit."

Misaka-senpai had a hint of reluctance on her face, and tried to keep a distance of more than three meters from Shirai-san.

"Sister, everyone has worked so hard for the Midsummer Festival. Please don't let down the expectations of all the students. Please wear this set of clothes that are the result of everyone's hard work. This way, everyone will be happy."

Shirai-san took a deep breath and became serious, like a selfless and upright person.

"Kuroko, why would I disappoint all the students if I don't wear it? Can you tell me?"

Senior Misaka's pace suddenly slowed down, as if she had some opinions about Shirai's solemn words, and she stood there with a dissatisfied expression.

"And I've been wanting to ask why everyone's maid outfit is different from mine. Only my maid outfit has such a short skirt, and the hem of this maid outfit is actually hollow. The so-called whole student body actually refers to you, just to satisfy your perverted ideas."

Misaka-senpai became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and seemed to have a problem with her maid outfit.

Shirai-san took a few steps back, and his momentum suddenly dropped.

"That's why I say it's specially made. Of course it's different from the normal styles. After all, you are the trump card of Tokiwadai. How can you be the same as ordinary people? Only these beautiful hollow patterns can match your status as a sister."

Shirai-san continued to speak despite herself, and it seems that she has not given up the idea of ​​persuading Misaka-senpai.

"That's a really infuriating statement. It seems I've been too gentle these days. I'm going to treat you well."

"Moreover, you signed me up for the Midsummer Festival performance without my knowledge, and I was unanimously accepted." Veins finally appeared on Misaka-senpai's forehead.

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a few faint laughs beside her, and Misaka-senpai looked around as if she had just woken up from a dream.

Only then did she realize that there were already quite a few people in the corridor, and even Natsume-san was looking over here with curious eyes, which made Misaka-san blush.

"Well, actually we were just joking, just a little joke between friends, don't take it seriously."

Senior Misaka touched the back of her head and revealed an awkward smile, then accurately grabbed Shirai's collar with one hand, and was dragged into dormitory 208 under Shirai's desperate gaze.

"As expected of Misaka-sama."

Several Tokiwadai students whispered, with a hint of inexplicable admiration in their eyes.

In Tokiwadai Dormitory, Misaka-senpai is an undisputed celebrity, and no matter what she does, she seems to be surrounded by a halo.

Natsume Sonoko hesitated and stood at the door of 208 for a while. She seemed to hear the painful and happy voice of Shirai-san, and finally decided not to disturb them.

After returning to her dormitory, Natsume Sonoko washed up and dived into the sofa. She didn't sleep well last night and she had to make up for it today.

....Dividing line....

She was wearing a black dress with a white apron, and a pure white maid's headdress called Katyusha, which looked like a small hat.

Because the bun and the Katyusha did not match at all, Natsume Sonoko was forced to let her hair down and turn it into shoulder-length hair at the kind suggestion of the dormitory supervisor.

Natsume Sonoko was a little unhappy. Her hair kept touching her ears, which made her feel itchy and uncomfortable. However, she could not overcome the dorm supervisor's authority, so she could only make a strategic compromise.

"Be patient, be patient. It's only for one day. Everyone can do it. There's no reason why I should be an exception."

Silently cheering herself up, Natsume Sonoko's eyes were filled with confidence. She was with Tsuchimikado-san day and night, it was impossible for her to not be able to be a good maid for even a day.

After a hurried breakfast, a group of people gathered in the hall of the Tokiwadai student dormitory.

"Did everyone hear it? There's no need for me to repeat everyone's tasks again." Pushing his glasses, the dorm supervisor stood in the middle of the hall.

"Tokiwadai Middle School is never open to the outside world on normal days, and only the Midsummer Festival is special. All of the distinguished guests you have invited will come today, so you must show your awareness as Tokiwadai students and must not have any problems with your words or actions. You must entertain every distinguished guest perfectly."

"In addition, the security guards will also be on site to maintain order. Everyone must cooperate with their work. Do you hear me?"

"I heard it."

Suddenly, she felt a little uncomfortable in her throat and rubbed her throat. It might be because she shouted the slogan too loudly just now.

Today really started off badly.

Standing at the gate of the student dormitory, Natsume Sonoko's face flushed a little, and she tried her best not to look at the people who came to participate in the Midsummer Festival one after another.

Today, Natsume Sonoko's job is to be a doorman and brochure distributor at the Tokiwadai student dormitory.

Not only do I have to stand at the gate, but I also have to distribute the stack of things in my hand. It's a boring job as expected. Maybe I even have to work as a tour guide part-time.

I have to stay in the dark or I will die.

Okay, that's a bit exaggerated.

Natsume Sonoko, who was used to hiding in the dark and being a happy invisible person, suddenly felt uncomfortable being stared at in public, especially when she was wearing a maid outfit. This feeling was really a bit awkward.

"Now I am Tsuchimikado-san. Think about what Tsuchimikado-san would usually do." Natsume Sonoko hypnotized herself secretly, and the whole person became a little abnormal.

The first security guards to arrive to maintain order were Ms. Yomikawa and Ms. Tesso, and there was no one else because Tokiwadai is a girls' school.

"Natsume-san, so you live here." Teacher Tetsuzo had a deep impression of Natsume Sonoko and recognized her standing guard at the gate at a glance.

I remember that someone guided an armored vehicle to avoid the monster's attack, which seemed to have caused a water outage in the seventh school district, although the blame was put on that giant tentacle monster.

At this time, Natsume Sonoko's iconic bun had disappeared, and she had changed into a simple maid outfit, but Natsume Sonoko was still as eye-catching as a light source in the dark night, and was easily recognized.

"Hey, it's Teacher Tetsuzo and Teacher Yomikawa." Natsume Sonoko was stunned for a moment and handed the manual to them habitually.

"Then work hard."

Teacher Huang Quanchuan took the manual, patted Natsume Sonoko on the shoulder, and the two of them walked into the door of Tokiwadai dormitory.

"If everything went well, Kiyama-sensei's work should have been completed, and Banri and the others might have woken up by now."

Time passed slowly, and Natsume Sonoko stood at the gate. She suddenly remembered what happened to Teacher Kiyama, but she was distracted for just a few seconds before she suffered a critical hit.

"It's wrong to slack off during work."

"it hurts."

Natsume Sonoko was hit hard on the head. She originally thought it was the dorm supervisor, so she raised her head... Actually, she didn't need to raise her head. Natsume Sonoko just lowered her head slightly and saw a girl in pink clothes.

"Teacher Xiaomeng, you are so strong." Natsume Sonoko said helplessly, covering her head.

"Natsume, thank you very much for inviting me." Teacher Xiao Meng also smiled sweetly.

In addition to Shigefuku Shoho, Natsume Sonoko also invited many people, such as Teacher Komeng, Senior Sister Married, Wannai-san, Puff-san and others, but many people actually already had invitation letters.

There are two student dormitories in Tokiwadai Junior High School. After marriage, the seniors all live in the dormitory inside the school garden. This time, the midsummer festival is only an event for Natsume Sonoko and her students in the student dormitory.

Originally, I wanted to invite Mr. Kiyama and the others yesterday, but Mr. Kiyama was busy with Banri's affairs, so Natsume Sonoko didn't say it.

As for Hatsuharu and the others, they were invited by Misaka-senpai, and Shirai-san also invited their senior, Miwei Gufa, who is also a member of the Discipline Committee. In short, everyone invited a lot of people.

"Um, Natsume, do you know if there is a parking lot nearby? I walked around your dormitory several times but couldn't find any." Teacher Xiao Meng also spoke at this time, pointing with one hand at a special model car parked on the side of the road.

Chapter 106 Midsummer Festival

"There's no parking lot nearby, but there's an empty spot in the flower bed behind. Teacher Xiao Meng, you can park there."

Natsume Sonoko thought about it and realized that there was indeed no parking lot near the student dormitory, but fortunately an area was temporarily allocated nearby.

"The flower bed behind?" Teacher Xiao Meng had some doubts.

"Then I'll take Teacher Xiao Meng with me. After all, guiding VIPs is also our job."

Natsume Sonoko put a stack of manuals on the ground, as if she had found a reason not to continue standing guard, and volunteered.

The vehicle started, and Natsume Sonoko sat in Teacher Xiaomeng's car, looking at the configuration of the car with some curiosity.

Since Teacher Xiao Meng's feet can't reach the foot brake, the brake is actually installed on the steering wheel, and it seems that an electronic parking device is also installed.

In addition, the gear lever and throttle have also changed. The gear lever has become smaller and the throttle is installed where Teacher Xiao Meng can reach it.

It’s a really nice car, Natsume Sonoko thought.

"Hehe, Natsume-san, how should we go next?" Teacher Xiao Meng gripped the steering wheel, leaning forward and looking ahead, her feet dangling on the seat.

"Drive to the back, there's a small road there that can get through faster."

"Okay, I'll speed up then."

"Eh."

When they arrived at the flower bed at the back, Natsume Sonoko had a conversation with the Tokiwadai student who was responsible for arranging parking spaces, and then guided Teacher Xiaomeng to drive to the designated location.

"Back up, back up, stop, we're here." Natsume Sonoko directed Teacher Xiao Meng to reverse the car to avoid hitting anything.

Teacher Xiao Meng parked the car and then looked around the dormitory environment of Tokiwadai with some interest.

"It's really nice. Even the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers." Teacher Xiao Meng said happily.

The weather is very good and the warm sunshine shines on us.

I heard that proper sun exposure is beneficial to calcium absorption and can also promote the body's metabolic circulation.

The hardworking Natsume Sonoko stood in the sun and worked hard for more than an hour before finally distributing all the thick stack of manuals in her hand.

At this time, the number of people coming to the Midsummer Festival gradually decreased, and it seemed that most of the guests who were supposed to come had already arrived.

According to Natsume Sonoko's observation, during the time when she returned to her post, a total of 482 people entered the gate of Tokiwadai, of which the majority were girls.

As expected, most of our friends are girls.

"Get to work."

Natsume Sonoko looked at the sun and thought it was time to finish her job as a doorman and handing out brochures.
