Temperature Control in Academy City

"That's because Harukami can gain abilities beyond his level limit under specific wavelengths. Maybe Harukami was chatting with that person." Hatsuharu helped Harukami Kimi comb her hair like an older sister and said with a thoughtful look on her face.

"It's Banri. I told her about everyone's situation. She also wants to make friends with everyone, but she is still in the hospital and can't be discharged until she recovers." Harukami Kimi bit her lip and smiled faintly.

"Banri? This is the first time I hear Harukami-san mention his friends." Hatsuharu was a little surprised and gathered a strand of Harukami's hair and braided it into a small braid.

Chapter 118 was discovered

By the time Hatsuharu-san had tied her hair band, Harukami-san had finished combing her hair.

Harukami Jinyi was sitting at the small low table in Hatsuharu's dormitory. Her mouth was filled with crepes without her knowing. Her cheeks were puffed up, which looked very funny.

The crepes were just bought by classmate Chuchun, who also bought a lot of rice.

Ever since classmate Chun Shang moved here, Chu Chun has to go out every now and then to replenish food. She even bought a new rice cooker because the rice cooked in the old one is not enough for two people.

But life is still bearable. Chuchun is at level 1 and Chunshang is at level 2. The scholarships for both of them are enough to cover food expenses.

After all, not all schools provide food and accommodation like Tokiwadai Junior High School, and many people's scholarships are barely enough to make ends meet.

"Banri said that she now lives in a big white house, where she has a teacher she trusts the most, a doctor who is a little fierce but cares about them, and an older sister who is a very nice person and cooks delicious meals. She feels very happy." Harukami Kimi said while biting a crepe and tilting her head.

A fierce ghost-chasing doctor? Shouldn't it be Mr. Kiyama? Natsume Sonoko complained.

"Moreover, she also told me that the sister who cooks and eats delicious food is called Natsume Sonoko, which seems to be the same name as Natsume-san." Harukami Jinyi hesitated for a moment before continuing.

"---Hey, what a coincidence." Hatsuharu said with some surprise.

"That's possible. After all, there are so many people in Academy City, there might be someone with the same name." Senior Misaka was also a little surprised, but then gave an explanation that seemed to make sense.

"Onee-sama, Hatsuharu, you two are a little too slow." Shirai almost fell down, looking at the two people beside her helplessly.

"Natsume-san, this person must be you." Shirai-san narrowed his eyes slightly and bent down to look at Natsume Sonoko's face. This was his intuition as a discipline committee member.

"Could it really be Natsume-san? But how come Natsume-san knows Harukami's friends?" Hatsuharu-san said in confusion.

Since you ask sincerely, I will tell you out of compassion.

Getting off topic, Natsume Sonoko had no intention of hiding this matter at all. The more people care about Banri and the others, the safer they will be.

"That's right, that nice Natsume Sonoko is me, and I cook really well too."

Feeling a little embarrassed by the stares from Misaka-senpai and the others, Natsume Sonoko surrendered immediately and said with a solemn vow.

"I suddenly feel something is wrong again. The only flaw is that your cooking is delicious. Natsume, are you sure you can cook?" This time, Misaka-senpai and Hatsuharu-san began to believe it, but Shirai-san became unconvinced.

"Of course, Shirai-san, don't underestimate others." Natsume Sonoko said somewhat dissatisfiedly.

"Anyway, Natsume-san, how did you get to know Harukami's friends?"

Hatsuharu-san said with a curious look on her face, bringing a plate of fruit to the low table.

Natsume Sonoko took an apple from the fruit plate, took a bite, and then continued, "It's a long story. It all started with the Fantasy Hand incident. We all know that the instigator of the Fantasy Hand was a woman named Kiyama Haruo. She..."

"Natsume-san, there are some things I still don't quite understand," said Hatsuharu-san a little sheepishly.

"It's normal not to understand. After all, there are some things you haven't been exposed to in Hatsuharu." Natsume Sonoko paused and said.

"That is to say, the chaotic development incident that suddenly disappeared before was actually caused by this Kimura Haruo in an attempt to wake up her students." Before Natsume Sonoko mentioned the chaotic development, Shirai-san connected everything together.

"If Harukami-san can already communicate with Banri, then it means the awakening has been successful." Misaka-senpai suddenly said. She also understood a little and turned to look at Natsume Sonoko.

"Well, it's a success."

Natsume Sonoko nodded. In fact, she was only half successful. If she waited until she gave the information to Teacher Kiyama and the others, the awakening would be truly successful.

However, Natsume Sonoko also had some concerns, wondering if the information she had obtained was missing anything.

"Well, Natsume-san, can you take me to the big house that Banri mentioned? I really want to meet Banri."

Harukami Jinyi had been silent just now, and after waiting for a long time, she finally spoke.

"Of course, but I need to ask Mr. Kiyama's opinion first." Natsume Sonoko threw the apple core into the trash can, thought for a while and said.

It was already noon, and Chuchun went to prepare lunch, filling a large rice cooker with rice. There were plenty of ingredients in the dormitory, so there was no need to worry about not having enough to eat.

During this period of time, Natsume Sonoko also contacted Kiyama Haruo and others.

"Okay, since they are friends of Sonoko and Banri, I can trust them too."

Kiyama Haruo was also cooking lunch at this time. Natsume Sonoko had not yet invited the maid, so she had to cook lunch.

"Failed again. Let's just order takeout." Kimura Haruo silently put his phone back into his pocket, looked at the half-burnt steak expressionlessly, and sighed.

"Everyone is here for dinner."

At this time, in the dormitory of Zhachuan Middle School on the other side, Chuchun had already put four dishes and a soup on the table, calling everyone to come and eat.

"Coming, coming." Natsume Sonoko showed a shy smile on her face and sat down at the small low table with an expectant look on her face.

"Oh, we have braised pork today."

"I'm gonna start now."

...

After eating and drinking, Natsume Sonoko sat comfortably on the floor with a satisfied smile on her face.

"Natsume-san, when are we going to Banri's place?" Harukami Kimi pulled Natsume Sonoko's arm and asked with concern after finishing her meal.

"Well, how about it now?" Natsume Sonoko twisted her waist and moved her body, saying with a smile.

Get on the tram from the Zhachuan Middle School stop and after four or five stops you will arrive at the Seventh District Independent Research Institute.

Natsume Sonoko took out her ID card and opened the door, then led everyone to the third floor.

"When did you become a researcher?" Shirai asked with a strange look on his face, looking at Natsume Sonoko's ID card.

"Banri." As the elevator door opened, Harukami Kimie suddenly spoke.

A little girl in a hospital gown was lying on the railing. She turned around and immediately showed a look of joy when she saw Harukami Jinyi.

"Harukami, Sonoko-sister." Edasaki Banri said happily.

"You are friends of Sonoko and Banri. I welcome you here, but it's best to keep quiet." Wearing a white coat, Haruo Kiyama walked slowly over with a bunch of empty lunch boxes in his hands.

Chapter 119: Volunteering

When Haruo Kimura came back after throwing away the lunch box, he found that the temporary ward had become lively.

"Sister Sonoko, are they all your friends?"

Edaseki Banri, who had just reunited with Harukami, had been helped to the hospital bed. There was still a trace of happiness on his face. His face was rosy and he looked very healthy.

"That's right, Banri. Misaka-senpai and the others are all my friends." Natsume Sonoko touched Banri's long hair and nodded.

"Then can you become my friend too?" Edaseki Banri said expectantly, eyes wide open.

"Of course, Misaka-san and the others are all very nice people." Harukami Kimie, who was accompanying Edasaki Banri, also said seriously.

"Teacher, you are back."

When he saw Kiyama Haruo coming back from afar, Edasaki Banri immediately broke into a bright smile.

Standing in the corridor, Senior Misaka looked at the child in the temporary ward with some anxiety, and there was some worry on her face.

"Natsume-san, if they can't find the thing called the 'initial sample', will they continue to fall into a deep sleep in half a year?" Senior Misaka learned some information from Mr. Kiyama and said with a serious face.

"That's true, but don't worry, Misaka-senpai. Everything will be fine."

Natsume Sonoko stared blankly at the ceiling, and pinched Misaka-senpai's shoulders with her hands that had nowhere to go.

Senior Misaka is also a person who is easily influenced by the outside world. Sometimes she really doesn't seem like a person with super powers, and many things are done out of emotion rather than rationality.

"It's really impressive. If Harukami hadn't discovered it, we wouldn't have known that Natsume-san had done so many things."

There were beads of sweat on Shirai's face. He had just helped clean up the garbage in the temporary ward and said this with some concern.

"Don't say that. I just happened to meet Mr. Kiyama and learned about Banri and the others' story, so I wanted to do something for them." Natsume Sonoko shook her head. She didn't do this for everyone's praise.

A certain Natsume Sonoko was somewhat idle. She was not as diligent as Misaka and the others, who also helped to tidy up the ward. She usually just sat in her seat and watched anime and played with her phone.

However, Natsume Sonoko did not forget her business. She took some time to organize the information she got yesterday. She used her ability to control several pens to draw on a pile of white paper, so it didn't take much time.

In order to prevent errors in the information, Natsume Sonoko carefully sorted it out several times. She was satisfied only when she found that it was exactly the same as her memory. Then she handed the information to Mr. Kiyama Haruo.

"Are these the details of the initial samples?"

Haruo Kiyama grabbed the document in his hand, looking through the contents, with a strange expression on his face.

"The content above is very detailed, ranging from experimental data to the structure of the crystallization of abilities, but can I know the source of this information?" Kimiya Haruo frowned as he flipped through the pages.

"This document comes from the MAR affiliated research institute. According to my investigation, Miss Therese Tina Kihara Levrein is actually the original experimental subject of the ability user crystallization experiment." Natsume Sonoko said, pointing to the experimental record at the beginning of the document, which recorded the information of the original experimental subject.

Someone seemed to be under some psychological pressure from sneaking into the research institute and refused to talk about what happened yesterday.

"In that case, I will develop a complete version of the suppression program based on this information." Kimiya Haruo took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

"If there is any problem, I will stop using the suppression program immediately."

After handing the information to Haruo Kiyama, Natsume Sonoko then remembered that she had to help find a maid.

"Don't worry, someone is taking care of the children's meals." Kimiya Haruo glanced at his classmate Hatsuharu not far away.

"Early spring?"

"Well, she's a very kind child, and she offered to come over every day to look after the children. If your information is accurate, then she doesn't actually need to look after them for many days, and they can go to school like normal students."

"If it's early spring, it would be normal, but early spring has other work, maybe she will be too busy." Natsume Sonoko said with some concern.

We stayed there until the evening, and Hatsuharu cooked for us, and we had dinner at the institute. During the dinner, we also met the owner of the institute, Doctor Ghost Chaser.

The doctor had a kind smile on his face and welcomed Misaka-senpai and the others. He also gave Hatsuharu an ID card from the research institute. Her position was the same as Natsume Sonoko's, and she was also an intern at the research institute.

"Goodbye, Sonoko-san, goodbye Banri, goodbye Uiharu-san..."

Waving at Natsume Sonoko and the others from afar, Edasaki Banri called out with some reluctance.

"I'm a little confused, why does Banri only call Natsume-san sister? Natsume-san is obviously one year younger than Banri." Hatsuharu walked in front on the street and said curiously.

"Eh, I don't know either." Natsume Sonoko was stunned for a moment, and everyone who noticed was looking at her with strange eyes.

"Did you lie about your age and deceive ignorant girls?" Shirai opened his eyes wide and looked up and down at a certain temperature control.

"No, Shirai-san, if you say that, I'm going to sue you for defamation." Natsume Sonoko glared at Shirai Kuroko and clenched her fists slightly. How could I lie about my age?

"Kuroko, stop making trouble." Senior Misaka sighed.

"But can you handle your duties as the Discipline Committee member, Hatsuharu? After all, you have to take care of Banri and the others, and also take care of the Discipline Committee activities." Misaka-senpai suddenly said with concern. This is also something that someone is quite concerned about.

"I can do it, and even if I'm too busy, there's Shirai-san here. And Shirai-san's ability is spatial movement, so it's very convenient for me to travel between the two places." Hatsuharu-san said with a smile, with a hint of stubbornness on her face.

Mr. Shirai's tool is really versatile. It can be said to be a must-have tool for home, travel, murder and arson. Everyone who has used it says it is good.

Natsume Sonoko thought silently and couldn't help but glance at Shirai.

"Well, if possible, let me take over Hatsuharu's class as the discipline committee member." Natsume Sonoko suddenly volunteered.

Everyone was surprised, especially Shirai, whose suspicious eyes were almost touching Natsume's nose.

"Shirai-san, please stay a little away from me." Natsume Sonoko looked at Shirai Kuroko who was so close to her and glared back at him without giving an inch.

"I'm so familiar with the Discipline Committee of Branch 177, so helping Hatsuharu for a few days is no big deal. When it comes to computer skills, I'm not bad either." Natsume Sonoko said seriously, thinking about something else in her head.

The Discipline Committee has the authority to manage the surveillance equipment in its area, and can not only help Hatsuharu, but also look for the trace of Misaka-senpai's clone, that is, Misaka-san.

Chapter 120 Discipline Committee Member Experience Card

"Natsume-san, are you serious?"

Hatsuharu-san seemed a little overwhelmed. It was really surprising that Natsume-san was the class discipline committee member.

"Well, it's a holiday anyway. Instead of wasting time in the dormitory, we might as well make some contributions to the security of Academy City." Natsume Sonoko said righteously, her face full of a sense of justice and vicissitudes.

"If that's the case..." Hatsuharu hesitated and fell into deep thought.

"Of course not. Do you think that anyone can be qualified for the position of Discipline Committee? Not only do they have to sign nine agreements, but they also have to pass 12 aptitude tests and four months of training. It's not an easy job that some ignorant civilian students imagine they can easily fill."
