Temperature Control in Academy City

Back in the hall, Misaka-senpai's work was almost done.

Misaka-senpai's job is similar to Natsume Sonoko's, except that the location is now the student dormitory hall.

I looked around and was surprised to see no sign of Shirai-san. It seemed that she had been dragged to the restaurant by Tsuchimikado-san to help out. I still remembered that Shirai-san had promised to help prepare meals.

"Finally, there's no one here." Senior Misaka breathed a sigh of relief and leaned slightly against the railing at the edge of the hall with a bit of boredom.

She was wearing a proper maid outfit, and it seemed that Shirai-san had prepared a normal style.

"Natsume-san, are you done over there too?" After discovering the trace of Natsume Sonoko, Senior Misaka greeted her from afar, with an absent-minded look on her face, as if she had something on her mind.

She made an OK gesture and Natsume Sonoko nodded from a distance. She planned to find a place to rest first.

"Natsume-san."

After sitting on the chair for a while, Natsume Sonoko heard someone calling her.

"Shigefuku-san, didn't you go on the tour?"

Natsume Sonoko turned her head slightly and saw Shigefuku Shoho wearing the Sekisho Junior High School uniform.

Shigefuku Shoho blinked his curious eyes and stared at Natsume Sonoko with his bright eyes.

"Well, I don't know what to visit." His tone became a little vague and Shigefuku said embarrassedly.

"I see. I'll take you to see the handmade cakes later. There are all kinds of cakes."

Natsume Sonoko thought of a good place, which was the exhibition hall set up by the senior students in the culinary club.

As for Natsume Sonoko's urban legend investigation agency, there are only four people in total, three of whom do not live here, so naturally there is no so-called exhibition hall.

By the way, the Urban Legend Investigation Club is still very active during the holidays, but Natsume Sonoko is a little lazy, mainly because there are no mandatory investigation tasks during the holidays.

Are you a salted fish member of the Salted Fish Club?

Shaking her head, Natsume Sonoko felt that she was actually working quite hard.

"Natsume-san, are you okay?" Shigefuku said with some concern. The two were chatting when Natsume Sonoko suddenly shook her head.

"It's just that my neck is a little sore from standing at the door for so long."

In the handmade cake showroom.

Natsume Sonoko curiously touched the relief in the exhibition hall with her fingers, and was surprised to find that the entire relief was made of cake.

Suddenly she wanted to try the relief, but Natsume Sonoko held back, after all, these were the works of her senior classmates.

"Hey, is this okay?"

Shigefuku-san's voice came from the side. Natsume Sonoko looked in the direction of the voice and saw, in addition to Shigefuku-san, a girl in a nun's uniform standing in front of the cake, with cake cream all over her face.

"Can all these cakes be tasted?" Shigefuku, who was talking to Index, said hesitantly.

"Of course, it's called a food tasting."

Index nodded imposingly and spoke seriously with her hands on her hips.

She just saw someone trying the food here. The saleswomen in the supermarket said that as long as you line up, you can get the food. She also lined up for a long time at the door.

"Index?" Natsume Sonoko walked over.

"Ah, it's Sonoko." Index seemed very surprised and pounced on her, causing a layer of cream to be smeared on Natsume Sonoko's maid uniform.

"Index, why are you here?" Natsume Sonoko glanced at the cream on her clothes, with a helpless look on her face.

"Maika gave me this." Index took out an invitation letter with a smug look on her face.

"Okay, but it's better not to try the cakes here now. After the Midsummer Festival is over, I can talk to the seniors and ask them to give you some cakes." Natsume Sonoko said seriously.

Now I remember, Tsuchimikado's brother seemed to be a classmate of Kamijou Touma, so it's not surprising that Index and Tsuchimikado know each other.

"Really?" Index's eyes lit up.

"Of course it's true, and the restaurant offers unlimited meals. Look at the time, it will start in about ten minutes." Natsume Sonoko checked the time and continued.

"I want to go!" Index said happily.

"Natsume-san, what's the cream on your clothes?" Shigefuku pointed at the stains on Natsume Sonoko's clothes with some concern.

"It's ok."

Natsume Sonoko quietly placed her hand on the cream stain, and then the cream solidified and fell off, falling onto Natsume Sonoko's hand.

He breathed a sigh of relief. Although his actions were very secretive, considering that he was still in the student dormitory, he could not be too careful. After all, the warden could show up at any time.

"It's delicious. Another plate please." There was already a pile of plates in front of Index.

In the restaurant, Natsume Sonoko sat opposite Index, with Shigefuku-san beside her, and Kamijou Touma sitting in the corner of the four-person seat.

I had originally planned to have lunch with Hatsuharu and her friends, but plans never keep up with changes, so I can only go and apologize later.

"Hello, I'm Kamijou Touma." Kamijou Touma sat in the corner a little awkwardly. He didn't know when Index had made so many friends.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Chongfu Shengfan." Chongfu classmate next to him responded politely.

"Kamijou-kun, no, I should say senior, why are you pretending not to know me!" Natsume Sonoko was eating four-happiness meatballs and looked at Kamijou Touma with some dissatisfaction on her face.

"Sorry, I've been busy lately and I didn't remember it for a moment." Kamijou Touma said awkwardly, but he kept complaining in his heart, was she also an acquaintance of his before he lost his memory?

In order to save Index and break the magic collar that imprisoned Index, Kamijou Touma lost his original memory.

“What an arrogant statement. Kamijou-senpai, did you find your bicycle last time?”

Natsume Sonoko recalled the bicycle she had placed near the student dormitory. Since she had Xiaobai, she rarely rode it recently. But Natsume Sonoko was not a person who was easily bored. In her heart, her bicycle still had a significant place.

"bicycle?"

Kamijou Touma was thinking about it, and was suddenly dumbfounded. It turned out that he also had a bicycle.

“I found it.” Kamijou Touma said with difficulty.

"That's good."

Chapter 107: Popular Misaka-senpai

Kamijou Touma's expression was a little strange. His frown began to relax, and the helplessness in the corners of his eyes gradually faded. He finally stopped worrying about the bicycle.

Just forget it. My luck has always been bad anyway.

"Maika, please give me another plate of fried noodles and sashimi." Index raised her hand high, with a chicken leg stuffed in her mouth and her hands covered with greasy marks, and said to Tsuchimikado who was walking towards her.

"I want one too. Please give me a plate of fried chicken nuggets." Kamijou Touma raised his hand silently with an expectant look on his face.

Natsume Sonoko did not raise her hand. There were seven or eight plates stacked in front of her. This was her maximum combat power. Even Shigefuku's combat power was a little higher than hers.

But compared to the pile of empty plates in front of Index that was nearly half a meter high, both of them could only feel inferior.

He looks so thin and slender, and looks so fragile, but why can his stomach hold so many things? Is this the legendary magic side? His stomach actually displays magic that can connect to some space.

It's unexpectedly difficult to support them.

A little absent-minded, Natsume Sonoko finished the meatballs in her hand, collected the long skewers that skewered the meatballs and placed them on the plate, then leaned back on the stool comfortably.

"Then we'll go first. Index is causing you trouble."

Lunch time was over, and Kamijou Touma held Index's hand and spoke very politely.

"I'm not causing any trouble."

Index pouted, looking a little angry, and then bit Kamijou Touma's head.

Even at a young age, Kamijou Touma seems to be facing the risk of hair loss during high school.

"No, Index is actually quite good." Natsume Sonoko said.

As soon as Natsume Sonoko finished speaking, a smug look appeared on Index's face.

"Index gets along well with us." Shigefuku also smiled.

It was already afternoon and the sun was beginning to set.

When Natsume Sonoko wasn't paying attention, the auction in the student dormitory began silently.

At this time, someone was busy cleaning up the plates and food scraps in the restaurant, pushing a food cart in his hand.

Due to lack of manpower, or because a certain space mobile mysteriously disappeared and some classmates were sent to maintain order at the auction, Natsume Sonoko was conscripted by Tsuchimikado, a classmate who was wandering around.

Shigefuku originally wanted to wait for her here, but was rejected by Natsume Sonoko, who asked her to go around and look around first.

"Shirai-san must have gone to the auction, but that's normal."

Natsume Sonoko's hands were sticky and greasy, and she unhappily loaded a stack of plates onto the food cart. According to insider information, Misaka-senpai donated a set of bear stationery at the auction, and a certain black fan who had learned the news in advance had already gone to stake out.

However, considering that Shirai had helped her so many times without complaint, Natsume Sonoko still chose to forgive her.

There are so many plates. How come there is so much food at this table?

Natsume Sonoko pushed the cart to the next table, but ended up filling the cart to the brim and still couldn't fit some more.

I looked at the seat carefully, and coincidentally, this was exactly the seat where I had just sat.

"Ten thousand yen. Congratulations to this student for winning the bear stationery set."

"The next auction item is a set of comic books called "Hikaru no Go". There are fifteen books in total. The starting price is 2,000 yen."

The restaurant is not far from the auction. If you prick up your ears, you can hear the noisy sounds over there. The host’s microphone is so loud that it hurts your ears.

It seemed that it was finally her turn to auction her item. Natsume Sonoko stopped and listened to the bids outside with some concern.

"This set of comics is rare in Academy City. It should be very popular." Natsume Sonoko became inexplicably nervous and listened carefully to the noise over there.

"I repeat, the starting price is 2,000 yen. Bidding begins now."

Apart from the host's voice, the voices of other people's bids were too weak, so Natsume Sonoko could only wait for the final result.

However, the quotation from there seemed a bit cold, which made Natsume Sonoko a little unsure of the situation.

"Five thousand three hundred yen, congratulations to this student for buying this set of comic books. Okay. Next is..."

The final result was finally out. Natsume Sonoko's face showed no sadness or joy, and her expression was a little dull, probably because she was shocked.

"I don't feel bad at all, it's all about helping others."

Natsume Sonoko forced a smile on her face. This price was quite different from what she had in mind. According to someone's estimate, it could be sold for at least 20,000 yen.

"Natsume-san, have you finished collecting the plates over there?" This was the voice of Tsuchimikado-san.

"It's almost there." Natsume Sonoko hurriedly speeded up her hands.

Really, why do I have to work so hard?

After being busy for half an hour, Natsume Sonoko finally ended her time as a conscripted soldier. She felt sore all over her back and waist, and felt weak.

Not long after leaving the restaurant, Natsume Sonoko met Shirai and her classmates.

Not only Shirai-san, but also Uiharu-san and Saten-san are there.

"Natsume-san, you're so slow. The auction is already over."

Holding the teddy bear stationery in her hand, Shirai-san showed a regretful look.

"What a coincidence, I just happened to buy onee-sama's stationery." Shirai said proudly while holding up the stationery.

Natsume Sonoko looked at Shirai Kuroko helplessly. What should she say? Shirai-san is really rich.

"Congratulations, Shirai-san."

Natsume Sonoko said weakly, she really didn't want to say anything more about these things.

"Natsume, you're here at the right time. We're just about to go watch Misaka-senpai's performance." There was some excitement on Saten's face, and she couldn't help but clench her fists.

"Is it already this time?" Natsume Sonoko was a little surprised. She only remembered this matter now.

"Yeah, I'm really looking forward to Misaka-senpai's performance." Hatsuharu said seriously.

"Oh no, there's no time to waste here. We have to hurry and get a good spot to take pictures of Onee-sama's wonderful performance."

Shirai suddenly became anxious, and he didn't know when a camera appeared in his hand.

After sending a message to Shigefuku, Natsume Sonoko followed the group to the venue.

The place has been properly decorated and the venue looks very clean. There is a built stage in the middle, and the stage is surrounded by dark blue curtains.

There was still quite some time before the performance and there were basically no people sitting in the seats. After finding a spot with a good angle, Natsume Sonoko and her group sat down.

Classmate Shigefuku was arriving soon. Natsume Sonoko also saw her senior classmate, Wanai, and the others. Even the dorm supervisor was leaning against the window looking at the place. Soon, all the hundreds of seats were filled.
