Even if I transform, I will never be captured.

Give me back the original Satella!

"Aren't you going to school?" Satella, now in her homebody mode, stared intently at the 100-inch projector, not even glancing at Misaki Shokuhou, and said, "Go on, I'll be fine on my own."

"...Then I'll go to school first. I'll just show up in class and come right back. Don't wander around on your own."

Misaki Shokuhou finally decided to compromise for the time being and settle accounts with Satella later when she returned.

Page 43

After all, Tokiwadai Middle School, where she currently attends, is a very strict school. Even if she has a level 5 Mental Control, she would have to brainwash her classmates and teachers before she could skip class.

"Lunch and dinner will be delivered on time. If you have any requests, you can call the internal phone number and someone will take care of it for you. So please don't run around, understand?"

Before leaving, Misaki Shokuhou still remembered to give this advice.

The reason she was so cautious was because she had seen Satella's memories before and knew that Satella was extremely bad with directions and would definitely get lost if she went out alone!

"What's with that tone? I'm not your pet!" Satella pouted, waving her hand dismissively. "But don't worry, I definitely won't go out."

If you can stay home comfortably, who would go out!

Hearing Satella say that, and seeing how useless she looked now, Misaki Shokuhou felt relieved and went to school without worry.

The time is 8 a.m. on the second day after Satella travels to the world of A Certain Magical Index, only 12 hours after the battle with the Dead Knot.

Satella fainted earlier because of the side effects of the wind-up bandage.

While the clockwork bandage is very effective, it is ultimately a defective product derived from the drive armor. For someone like Satella, whose physical abilities are not particularly good, using it can cause certain damage to her body.

However, after Misaki Shokuhou took her to receive treatment, Satella is now full of energy and has no health problems at all!

"This time we really hitched a great deal of help!"

It has to be said that Misaki Shokuhou's ability is incredibly useful. She made a trip to the police station and got Satella her identity documents, solving her biggest problem at the moment.

Moreover, she herself is a rich and beautiful woman, incredibly wealthy, and could easily support Satella!

Although this would certainly attract the attention of some people with ulterior motives, Satella knew very well that the people in the shadows of Academy City were all politicians who liked to play dirty tricks in the dark. They would never reveal their true intentions until it came to a complete confrontation.

So all I have to do is stay home for seven days straight!

This couldn't be easier for Satella, who could stay home for a month!

Satella tore open a bag of potato chips on the coffee table, grabbed a handful with her little paws, and popped it into her mouth. The perfect saltiness of the chips, along with the refreshing taste of cucumber, immediately filled her mouth.

—Feeling great!

Watching the latest anime series, eating delicious potato chips, and drinking the newest flavor of cola.

"This is the life I want!"

Going out is impossible; I will never go out in my entire life.

"That Misaki Shokuhou guy is just worrying for nothing."

Satella lay on her side on the sofa in a "buried-in" position, rubbing her belly—and then rubbing it again—

but……

It seems like I've forgotten something?

"That's it!" Satella jumped up from the sofa: "Buy a cell phone!"

My original phone got broken in RE0, so I might as well buy a new one in Academy City!

Satella's first thought was online shopping, but after she opened the shopping page on her computer, she realized that she had forgotten to ask Misaki Shokuhou to help her activate online banking.

faint!

What a huge mistake!

There was no other way but to go out and buy it myself.

Satella couldn't sit still any longer at the thought that there might be newer and more fun mobile games in the world.

She searched through the dozens of clothes that Misaki Shokuhou had bought for her, and finally found a simple white casual outfit with a hood. She put it on and went out.

Outside the door was a bottomless abyss, but Satella didn't care at all and walked up to it quite naturally.

"Om-"

The technologically advanced particles quickly formed beneath Satella's feet, coalescing into a path that vanished as she walked over them.

This thing is called the "Heavy Particle Parasite Board," and currently it can only be sensed by the two people with the highest authority in the entire research institute.

"crunch-"

Satella placed her palm on the device with the fingerprint sensor, and the automatic door opened. Stepping outside, the refreshing morning breeze caressed Satella's face, making her feel extremely comfortable.

"Actually, it's not bad to come out for a walk once in a while."

Satella muttered to herself, "That Misaki Shokuhou, don't think I don't know what you're trying to say just because you didn't say it outright—you're just worried I'll get lost, aren't you? Heh, how could that be!"

Satella felt that Misaki Shokuhou was seriously underestimating her.

She admitted that she did have a slight lack of direction, but there are taxis in this world, aren't there?

Satella glanced back at her.

It was a super-large research institute with a futuristic exterior, covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters and nearly 100 meters high, equipped with all kinds of advanced technological facilities.

It's hard to imagine that such a research institute, which houses hundreds of top scientists, is actually the private property of Misaki Shokuhou.

"I think it's called 'Talent Workshop'... right?"

Satella pointed to her lips with her index finger, tilted her head, and smiled smugly: "Such a big research institute must be very famous. When the time comes, as long as we tell the taxi driver this name, we won't have to worry about not being able to get back."

"Satella, you really are the smartest and most clever!"

Chapter 30 Kamijou Touma·Unfortunate

Satella hailed a taxi at the entrance of the research institute and sped off to the most bustling seventh school district in Academy City.

They found a large electronics store and went inside. Amidst the stunned looks of the shop assistants, Satella announced:

"I've got all the phones and tablets here!"

A few hours later...

Satella, carrying a sack full of cell phones and tablets, walked out of the large electronics store like a notorious thief, becoming a sight to behold on the street.

Page 44

The reason she bought so many was that the phone's battery life is limited; it only lasts for a day or two at most before running out of power, and the battery can't be replaced. So Satella had no choice but to buy a lot of spares.

"I hope I can bring them all back..."

Satella prayed in her heart.

Then she went to the roadside, hailed a taxi, and told the driver where she wanted to go.

"A workshop? I don't know."

"what?"

"Talented Personnel Workshop? Does such a place exist in Academy City?"

"Huh?"

"I've been driving in Academy City for years and I still don't know this place. Could you please tell me the exact address, Miss?"

"Huh?"

"..."

After more than a dozen drivers said they didn't know about [Cai Ren Fang], Satella sadly realized that she couldn't go back!

However, Satella was a clever and beautiful girl, and in an instant she thought of another good idea.

—Isn't Misaki Shokuhou a student of Tokiwadai?

Moreover, he's definitely a well-known level 5 on campus. If I just go to the school to find him, how could I not find him?

With that thought in mind, Satella decided to hail a taxi to the Gakusha-no-Gen (Garden of Schools) where Tokiwadai Middle School was located.

But at that moment, a commotion suddenly broke out in a shop by the roadside, and in the commotion came a name that Satella cared about very much.

"Kamijo, stop it!"

"Stop smoking, meow!"

Why won't you admit that you are African?

"..."

Kamijou...

Kamijou Touma? ! !

Satella's eyes lit up as her slightly pointed, elf-like ears twitched slightly, and she followed the sound.

……

……

"Don't stop me, I want to smoke again!"

At this moment, Kamijou Touma's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like he had gone mad, as he roared at his two best friends.

The boy named Kamijou Touma is an unfortunate person.

Instant noodles come without seasoning packets, toilets clog the toilet, cans come without pull tabs, you'll run into delinquents whenever you walk down alleyways, your phone breaks every now and then, and vending machines always swallow your money...

The misfortunes that befell him were too numerous to count.

His misfortune is a fact that even the high technology of Academy City cannot explain or deny.
