A Certain Scientific Bee-eater

If Shokuhou Misaki uses [Psychological Mastery] to issue [Order] to Junko Hoafeng, the other party will definitely not be able to refuse, and he will be able to travel more calmly.

However, she didn't want to do that.

Because it is obvious that the enemy is only here for her, and she has her own set of moral power rules in her heart, and she doesn't want to drag others into the water.

Naturally you have to deal with your own affairs.

When Shokuhou Misaki was thinking about it and was about to leave,

"That... Shokuhou-sama, please, please wait...!"

Fanfeng Junzi suddenly called out to her, then took a few deep breaths as if to cheer herself up, then raised her head and looked at her with a worried look on her face,

"Excuse me, did something happen?"

...!

At this moment, Shokuhou Misaki's pupils shrank unnaturally, and he put his hand on the shoulder bag on his chest like a conditioned reflex, and almost took out the remote control to use the power on the girl in front of him.

Did Junko Fanfeng know something?

Even more maliciously guess, maybe the other party has something to do with the 'sight' that has tormented her these days?

This thought flashed through his mind for a while, just when Shokuhou Caoqi was determined to "would rather kill by mistake than let it go" to check the memory of Junko Hoafeng,

"I'm sorry if I guessed wrong, but Shokuhou-sama, your face has been tired and gloomy recently, which makes me a little worried..."

Maybe Junko Fanfeng who noticed something hurriedly explained, and then said seriously,

"So if you really run into any trouble, please don't let Shokuhou-sama see you outside, but come and tell me."

"..."

Shokuhou Caoqi couldn't help being a little stunned when he heard the words, and slowly let go of the hand on the satchel, with a confused expression on his face,

"why……?"

In the end, her relationship with Junko Hooka is not that close. Although she once helped each other when there was a 'disturbance' in the 'talent room', it was only out of her inner moral strength and 'expectation'. It's just one person's selfish desire to share the pressure.

As for the several 'cooperation' that followed, it was more about using each other.

After the disintegration of the 'talent room', they have completely lost contact. Although they have been a little closer due to going out for dessert together not long ago, the relationship between them now is probably only the level of ordinary classmates.

Why is the other party...

"Because Lord Bee Eater once redeemed me, whether it's my soul or life, if it wasn't for Lord Bee Eater, I would definitely look different now, and it would definitely not be better than I am now."

A gentle smile appeared on Junko's face,

"I want to repay the kindness of Shokuhou-sama, so no matter what it is or what it is, please give it to me."

The other party knew about her abilities, so she deliberately mentioned the word 'order', probably to express to her that it's okay to use her abilities, right?

However, even if it does not exclude being 'ordered', there are really all kinds of strange people in this world...

Although I think so, I have to say that it is quite a good feeling to be expressed by others without false and frank sincerity.

Shouldn't she also try to give a little sincerity to others?

In this way, will it be possible to harvest something happier?

The mood that was heavy not long ago has now become a lot easier, Shokuhou Caoqi smiled slightly at Junko Hobaze in front of him,

"Thank you☆~ I won't be polite to you if necessary."

But not now.

ps: Fanfeng Junzi (watching Shokuhou Caoqi leaving): When you need it... Yes, I'm only level 4. Even if I want to help Shokuhou-sama, I can only handle some trivial matters on my behalf. Well... the only one who can stand beside Shokuhou-sama is the one who is also level 5 like her...

Junko Hookaze: I still feel a little worried, but if you follow up, you might make Shokuhou-sama angry... By the way, tell Misaka-san about it, she will definitely not stand by...

20. One Man's Battle

Walking out of the dormitory, leaving the school garden, and walking along the street in a random direction.

Sure enough, not long after, Shokuhou Misaki immediately felt the 'eyes' that made him look on his back.

Resisting the strangeness of her body and the desire to turn around and unleash an indiscriminate 'attack', she pretended not to notice the strangeness and deliberately walked towards a place where there was no human energy.

Different from the flash of sight before, this time the feeling of being watched by someone has been looming.

It seems that the other party is really just 'tracking and monitoring' himself.

So after being noticed by her the first few times, in order to avoid exposure, she would run away immediately?

Although it can be concluded that 'my own vitality does not seem to be threatened at the moment', but this goes against the purpose of her trip.

Shokuhou Misaki uses herself as bait in order to draw out enemies that are targeting her and eliminate them as much as possible.

But if the order received by the other party is only 'tracking and monitoring', it means that even if he deliberately creates a scene of being alone, the enemy may not show up.

"In that case..."

You can only take the initiative to find the other party.

The reason why she couldn't find the other party's traces a few times ago, apart from her lack of exercise power, might be because she could hide at will because of the intricate streets around her.

Then just let the other party have nowhere to hide.

Thinking so, Shokuhou Miu followed the memory in her mind and came to a suitable place.

The 'U'-shaped alley was an alley that she had mistakenly thought to be a short cut that she could pass through, but the other side was actually a dead end.

As long as the passers-by controlled by her ability are placed at the two entrances of the alley as her 'eyes' in advance, and she enters one of the entrances, then as long as the enemy follows her into the alley, there is no way to escape.

It's better to say that she didn't think of this idea until now, it's really not in line with her IQ.

Could it be that because of the incident that I thought was resolved not long ago, I was a little panicked and not calm enough?

Well, this time, let her end all the incidents.

After simulating the process in his mind, Shokuhou Caoqi secretly instructed two passers-by who were controlled by his ability to hide in the dark and stare at the two entrances of the alley, and then walked in.

That 'sight' really didn't give up.

Until she came to the corner of the 'U' word, there was always a feeling of 'like a man on the back' behind her.

If you turn around now, you might be able to catch the other party's figure, but the other party may be able to escape before they can react to their practical abilities.

After all, the passers-by she arranged at the entrance of the alley were only responsible for her 'eyes' and had no fighting ability, and Shokuhou Misaki didn't want to involve innocent people in danger.

So, wait a minute.

Turning around the corner, he walked along the road toward the alley on the other side, and when he was about to step out of the alley, Shokuhou Misaki, who had been prepared, immediately took out the remote control from his satchel and pointed it back, but— —

"……Nothing at all?"

In the alley in front of her, there was not even a half-person figure,

"Is it on the other side?"

Shokuhou Caoqi hurriedly ran to another alley and looked in, but still saw no one.

Unwilling to give up, she immediately pointed the remote control at the passerby who had previously been manipulated by her ability to act as an 'eye', and carefully read through all the memories from the time she entered the alley until just now.

But in their memory pictures, she was the only one in the alley from beginning to end.

"How can there be such a supernatural power..."

Shokuhou exercises pray for chills down the spine.

That 'sight' is undoubtedly real, but its source cannot be observed?Could it be that the other party has a stealth ability like 'optical camouflage' or 'distorted cognition'?

Or maybe the other party is not a 'human', but some kind of mechanical device that can be remotely controlled like a drone?

Either way, it's a very bad situation for her.

Because her abilities are ineffective against machines, and due to the self-restraint rules of weakening power in order to refine her abilities, she must aim the remote control at the target in order to activate the ability accurately.

"Want to use 'that'..."

Shokuhou Caoqi hesitated in his heart.

By lifting the restriction of 'that', the huge increase in computing power brought to her allows her to easily control thousands of people within a few kilometers, but even 'that' was originally a part of her body, but now she wants to Using it would bring a considerable burden to her.

The specific performance is the severe pain as if the head is about to burst.

Under such circumstances, she could hardly control her abilities like she is now, in other words, she was on the verge of running out of abilities at any time.

A little carelessness can cause permanent mental damage to yourself and the people around you for a few kilometers.

But right now, to find out the true body of the enemy, there is no better way than to use 'that' to indiscriminately 'attack' the surroundings.

And she doesn't really want to control thousands of people, she just wants to see the memories from when she felt the 'sight' to the present.

If the opponent is a human, it will never escape the coverage of its own ability.

If the other party is some kind of machine, maybe they can find some clues from it.

Yes, just a moment is enough.

Shokuhou, who persuaded herself in her heart, was about to press the remote control in her hand, but suddenly there was a harsh wind sound above her head, her body's foreknowledge of danger made her conditioned reflex to roll to the side, and then——

Bang-!

With such a loud noise, a puff of smoke appeared where she had just stood.

"Cough cough..."

Shokuhou Misaki, who was choked by the smoke, stepped back a few steps and waved his hand, and then he was able to see what was in the smoke:

It was a young man with a bright red knight uniform and a full-face helmet on his head. Judging from his body shape, he looked like he was about the same age as him.

This person's whole body... From the soles of the feet to the knees, from the elbows to the shoulders, the wrists, waist, back, chest, at least fifty places are equipped with small wheels like inline skates.

Not only that, there were two ultra-small jet engines about twenty centimeters in diameter and half a meter long on the other side's back.

what is the problem?

Shokuhou Caoqi couldn't help but be a little stunned.

The other party seemed to have jumped down from the roof towards her position just now, as if he was going to kill himself.

Could it be that he is the 'line of sight' that he has always felt?

Shokuhou Caoqi suddenly noticed the blind spot that she had fallen into before. Because of the 'line of sight', she took it for granted that the other party was following her somewhere behind her, but the enemy was not necessarily on the ground.
