Kamijou Touma of a Stand-in Messenger

Chapter 13 The Caged Girl

Academy City, located in the west of Tokyo, was established more than half a century ago. Today, its population has reached 230 million, [-]% of whom are students, and it has technology decades ahead of the outside world.

Among them, the most eye-catching, and also Academy City's business card to the outside world, is the superpower that makes people infinitely reverie.

This city with the main purpose of developing and researching superpowers, relying on unparalleled science and technology, has possessed national power in just half a century. Even if the area is only at the city level, no country dares to underestimate it.

Schools are open and closed. For ordinary people, it is typical that it is easy to get in and difficult to get out. 230 million people are performing to their heart's content on such a big stage, which is undoubtedly a new world for outsiders.

Xuedu attracts countless students from the outside world every year, and the average age of the population is an exaggerated 19 years old. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most dynamic city in the world.

Here, for outsiders, it is undoubtedly a dreamlike different world.

Touma thought so before coming here.

But now, because of reality, he had to look for road signs, but no matter which direction he looked around, he could only see a gray-black horizon made of asphalt roads and cement, and there were no other things he could see occasionally. The unexpected is the tall fence and runway.

No.20 Three School District, this is a special school district established entirely for aerospace and space development.

Even if Touma joins Academy City, there is a high probability that there will be no intersection of school districts.

But he is walking here now.

"Unfortunate."

There were no shops around, let alone places to buy things, and even after walking for such a long time, he didn't see a single person.

For ordinary people, it can be called a gorgeous personal panel, but at this time it can't help Touma in the slightest.

Hunger has found him, but so far he has not been able to find a way out of here.

"No, you have to find someone."

This school district is like a dark forest of steel and concrete, making it impossible for Toma to find a way out.

After making up his mind, Touma aimed at the nearest building.

This building is also protected by a tall wall. Various cameras flashing red lights are everywhere, and from time to time, armed personnel on patrol can be seen.

If you just go forward and ask, there will definitely be conflicts, right?

Leaning against the corner, Touma was making calculations.

Let's go in and see.

After calculating the opponent's behavior pattern and avoiding all the cameras, Touma quietly entered the gate with a speed far exceeding ordinary people.

"It's amazing, like a scene from a future science fiction movie."

Touma is curious about the structure of the building, but now is obviously not the time to do it.

Trying to lower his voice, Touma quickly looked for the target.

Finally, he saw a bald man heading for a room.

With a dodge, Touma followed the opponent into the room.

When the other party saw Touma, the brain circuit obviously couldn't keep up.

"Well, I'm a student who just came to Academy City to report today. I got lost for some reason. Uncle, can you tell me the way to the seventh school district?"

The handsome boy asked with a smile, it was easy to win the favor of others.

"Who are you!! A rescuer from the Kihara clan? Or someone from an incompetent armed group? What do the guards do?"

The bald man roared.

"Hush! Shh! I'm really just lost. Uncle, can you tell me the way to District [-]?"

The yelling of the other party can easily attract the attention of others.

"Huh? What are you kidding?"

The uncle didn't talk nonsense, his slightly fat body rushed aside, and smashed his fist on the siren.

"Ding Ding Ding Ding!!"

The dazzling red light and rapid ringing told Touma that she was in trouble.

"... bothered uncle."

Reluctantly, Touma ran out of the room, and immediately saw armed men with live ammunition.

"Spot the intruder! Fire freely!"

The precursory perception issued a strong warning, Dang Ma broke out at the fastest speed, and hid behind the bunker.

The tongues of fire from the firearms in their hands told Touma that the other party was playing for real.

"Is there a mistake? I just came to ask for directions. Is it too much to kill me? Where is the safest city?"

It's the first time I've seen it in a place other than movies.

Firearms are not a threat to Touma, and his precursory perception and super mobility allow him to do a job with ease in the hail of bullets.

Get out of here first.

But he got lost again.

"Unfortunate."

Finding himself in a dead end, Touma saw the ventilation duct in the corner.

Squeezing in hard, Touma found that the end of the ventilation duct was a dim room with various daily necessities.

"Anyway, wait for a while."

Squatting in the corner, Touma thought it was a disaster.

It is of course easy to kill these people, but it is obvious that I am the one who is in the wrong.

Suddenly, Touma, who had amazing hearing, heard a second heartbeat besides her own.

There are people here.

Leaning down, Touma quickly found the target.

"child?!"

It was a little girl about ten years old, with two balls of hair on her head. She was slender and cute, but her face was expressionless and her eyes were dull.

She spotted Touma and looked up at him.

"Uh, hello, my name is Kamijou Touma, can you tell me how to get to District [-]?"

This girl looks like a good talker.

The little girl didn't answer, but picked up the camera on her chest and clicked on Toma.

A photo was born immediately, and the little girl handed it to Touma.

After receiving the photo, it was me who was still handsome despite having a prickly hair.

"...Thank you, can't you talk?"

The girl shook her head.

When Ma felt that the child was a little abnormal, he asked again.

"My name is Kamijou Touma, a junior high school student who just entered Academy City today, what's your name, little sister?"

The little girl looked at Toma, and then spoke after a while.

"Kihara."

"what?"

"Kihara Yuzuru."

The girl's voice is small.

"Is your name? It sounds nice. Why are you here alone, where are your parents?"

The little girl was silent.

At this time, Touma saw the graffiti on the surrounding walls, all kinds of unfamiliar symbols, and couldn't understand them at all.

"How long have you been here?".

"do not know."

A terrible conjecture grew in Toma's heart.

"Is it those people in this place? You were kidnapped?"

Just as Touma's words fell, there were hurried footsteps outside the door.

It was the group of people who came.

The sound of footsteps became more and more obvious. At this moment, Yuzuki Kihara stood up, took Touma with her slender hands, and led him to a pile of boxes.

"Hide."

She opened a box, and a boy like Touma was the limit it could hold.
