A Certain Scientific Bee-eater

The sound of sparks rumbled.

"Go in!"

Misaka Mikoto, who came back to her senses first, shouted, and at the same time, accompanied by the bluish-white arcs shot from her bangs, what looked like metal security doors to the left and right of them instantly splashed a lot of sparks like summer fireworks.

bang——

Shokuhou Misaki dashed open the metal door almost as if it was thrown out, and rushed into the room, followed by Mitsuya Ayu who was also thrown in.

"Misaka-san, hurry up!"

"Don't stand at the door!"

Misaka Mikoto sternly embraced Shokuhou Kasuki and Mitsuya Ayu, who had not had time to stand firm. With the blue and white electric light on her forehead, all the metal objects in the room swarmed to block the metal behind them. Door.

then,

boom--

The terrifying breath of fire rushed down from above with the momentum of melting the ground.

Ps:

I would love to try this game.jpg

Hope this is the last time

Feet hurt.

I found out that this year could be my Mercury retrograde.I injured my back more than two months ago, and it took me two months to feel better. As a result, my foot was injured again today.

It hurts a lot, and I am a little worried about whether it is a broken bone or whether it needs surgery. I plan to go to the hospital tomorrow to have a look.

Speaking of which, I've been to the hospital more than a dozen times in the last three months, more than I've been to the hospital in the entire four years of college.The medical insurance in the social security card was spent the last time I saw a doctor. It's good, and I don't waste it at all.

After working for a year, the harvest is a stack of case lists.In the morning, I talked with my boss, because everyone around me has raised their wages except me. ? ?Am I not standing high enough? ?I kind of want to quit my job and go home, but finding a job again is troublesome.

Live, live.

Hope my body gets better soon.

Hopefully this will be the last notification for something bad.

(Forgive my whining. Update time to be determined, I'll try to write when I'm not so sad, everyone, sorry.)

Attack and Reverse.jpg

36. I...I don't know anything

There was a loud noise, followed by a heat wave like a summer stove.

The metal objects blocking the door were burning red like smelted steel, something was burning in the gaps, and even the black substance that had melted into a fluid could be seen cooling down on the ground below.

Bang, bang.

Misaka Mikoto, who had released the two, used the electromagnetic force to put out the flames by using the movable objects around her, and by the way, blocked the door again.

After doing this, Misaka Mikoto turned around and raised her head, with a few bluish-white arcs flashing across her forehead.

On the ceiling of the room, which had been darkened by the extinguishing of the flames, the still intact incandescent lamps flickered a few times like butterflies about to take off, and then illuminated the surroundings.

"It looks like there's no one else here, which is great."

Misaka Mikoto said with a sigh of relief while looking around.

It appears to be a multi-tenant building crowded with a few different types of stores, more like a direct-to-customer store than a transactional office.

There is a certain aroma in the air, and a glance at the floor plan next to the only small lift reveals a cake shop on the second floor of the building.

However, as Misaka Mikoto said, there is no one here.

Probably because of being ordered to furlough?

After all, the neighborhood is sparsely populated and far away from the downtown area. During the Daba Star Festival, patrolling an unimportant place can free up manpower to focus on those places that are more prone to accidents.

So I'm afraid that the neighborhood may have been barricaded to prevent entry and exit.

But the three of them did not encounter any obstacles along the way, which had to be reminiscent of something.

"Really, you still have the heart to care about others. How far do you want to be a good person? Misaka-san, let's think about what we should do now."

Shokuhou Misaki rubbed the elbow that was forced to collide with the metal door just now, and couldn't help saying angrily.

——She didn't know what she was angry about, maybe it was because she couldn't do anything in the face of the current situation, or maybe it was because of Misaka Mikoto who didn't care about her attitude.

The dragon must still be walking on the roof, because every now and then a small piece of the ceiling falls with a slight vibration.

It's a lot like hiding in a dugout during a bombing, and the reinforced concrete is like a symbol of buildings in the adult world.

But hiding here does not mean they are safe. In addition to the flames spewing from its mouth, the monster has limbs that are thicker than elephants. It is easy to see the power contained in it from the appearance alone. , might break through the wall with those sharp claws and fangs at some point.

Only fools and gamblers would give their lives to luck.

But if they can't think of a way to deal with that monster, they can only stay here and give their lives to God.

"What should I, what should we do? I... we have to call the guards!! And the firemen!!"

Miyant Ayu didn't seem to have calmed down from the panic.

"Should they be sent to die? You should have seen how terrifying the monster outside is? Or are you planning to use their sacrifice to give yourself a chance to escape, Miyant?"

Shokuhou Caoqi said with a sneer.

She wasn't targeting Mitsuya Aiyu, she just thought that the other party might really have such an idea, because she and the other party were the same kind of person to some extent.

Moreover, she couldn't think of a reason why she and Misaka Mikoto would be hunted down by that kind of monster.

Now that Shokuhou Caoqi would not simply think that it was just an accident.Such monsters appeared out of nowhere in Academy City, and they happened to be on the road they had to pass, and they were still chasing after them.

The enemy's target must be one of the three of them.

Shokuhou Misaki's enemy has been eliminated during the summer vacation.Although she didn't see the enemy's death with her own eyes, she learned from reliable intelligence sources that the 'experimental accident' where no one survived was apparently caused by someone in the council.

Those sly and cunning characters will definitely not let any of them slip through the net.

As for Misaka Mikoto, it is even more impossible.

Eliminate all the wrong options, and the remaining one is naturally correct.It is very likely that the dragon came for the Mi Ant Aiyu, but looking at the current Mi Ant Aiyu's performance, the other party seems to be unaware of it?

"Student Mi Ant, do you know what that thing is outside?"

Although she had already guessed the result, she still stared at Mitsuya Ayu with cold eyes and asked as if questioning.

The shaggy girl hugged her little bag like a pillow and shook her head.

"I...I don't know, and I don't know where it came from."

Mitsuya Ayu wasn't lying.

There is no need to use abilities at all. The ability of the two people to have the same origin allows Shokuhou Caoqi to easily perceive each other's emotional fluctuations and determine whether the other party is telling the truth or pretending.

However, this time it's a little more troublesome.

If the parties themselves don't know, the only way to investigate is to start with the monster outside, then they must first defeat it, and the way to defeat the other party...

"Wait a minute, Shokuhou, don't you suspect that the dragon was recruited by Mi Ant's classmates?"

While Shokuhou Misaki was using human wisdom, Misaka Mikoto, who seemed to have made some preparations, interrupted her thinking.

ps: Misaka Mikoto: There is a lot of iron sand in the soil around here, so you can try that.

37. Love needs reciprocity

"Calm down, Misaka-san, they're just gathering information to find a way to get us out safely."

Shokuhou Misaki sighed and explained.

"But Mi Ant-san also looks scared, doesn't it? And you don't need to think about a safe way to escape. That's Long Ye, as long as you defeat it, don't you?"

Misaka Mikoto looked at the honey ant Ayu next to her, and then said eagerly,

"I never thought I could actually see a dragon in reality."

"Are you too confident in your own abilities, Misaka-san?"

Shokuhou Caoqi couldn't help frowning when he heard the words.

Maybe it was due to the nature of her ability, or maybe it was due to the different past experiences of the two people, or maybe it was the education she had received.

For Shokuhou Misaki, she prefers to plan everything and deal with all possible situations before it starts. She likes and enjoys the feeling of being in control, and hates changes that exceed her expectations.

"I don't know what switch your monster's shape triggered, but its destructive power can be seen from the flames just now. If you don't know the enemy's details, you fight rashly, in case—"

"Don't worry, you two can hide in a safe place later, and leave that dragon to me to deal with."

Before she could finish speaking, Misaka Mikoto interrupted her.

"That's why..."

(That's why I'm worried!)

Shokuhou Caoqi felt a little aggrieved.

Of course she never thought about rushing out to fight the monster outside like Misaka Mikoto did, but she also never thought about hiding in a safe place and watching Misaka Mikoto fight alone.Although she enjoys the feeling of being protected, she does not want to see the person who protects her hurt.

She is a mind, and the reason why humans can defeat all races on earth depends not on size but on wisdom.

The unintelligent beast outside must have weaknesses. As long as they are found and utilized, the losses can be minimized.

But Misaka Mikoto is different from her. Rather than spending a lot of time and energy planning ahead, the other party is more inclined to 'do it first and then talk about it'.

Perhaps the past experience was too smooth, Misaka Mikoto is very confident, and may even have reached the point of conceit.

If the other party is someone who has nothing to do with her at all, she is too lazy to pay attention.If the relationship between the other party and herself is still in the state before the summer vacation, she may still encourage her behind her back and gloat at seeing the other party slumped.

Yes, no if.

The fact that Shokuhou Caoqi is reluctant to admit is that she doesn't want to see Misaka Mikoto get hurt, and she doesn't want the other person's injury to protect herself.

However, it is absolutely impossible for her to say 'I am very worried about you'.

Therefore,
