Academy City Temperature Control

Of course, there are people who can develop formulas on the spot. Anyway, Natsume Sonoko feels that she has great potential in this area.

Closer to home, Natsume Sonoko’s ability can control the air and moisture below the ground.

If you don't deliberately avoid the underground every time you use your ability on a large scale, it will always cause underground water vapor to rise up, and it will be out of control when encountering underground water. Of course, the transpiration of plants will also provide some water.

Therefore, in many places, Natsume Sonoko's ability can cause some weather changes.

There is no need for water vapor to rise into the clouds. As long as the temperature in Natsume Sonoko changes sharply and the hot and cold air flows meet, rainfall can occur in a small area.

If the water mist can be sprayed to a certain height and the small water droplets solidify into ice crystals before falling to the ground, it can even form a small area of ​​snowfall, which is similar to artificial snowmaking.

"Well, I can really change a lot of weather, so the mysterious machine that controls the weather also has a certain basis."

Natsume Sonoko felt that her title was very appropriate. After explaining some of her speculations and conjectures in the post, Natsume Sonoko felt that she was almost ready to write a script.

After publishing the post, Natsume Sonoko silently closed the website. Now, with this post as proof, who can say that they have nothing to do after eating every day, and club activities are just fishing.

Natsume Sonoko plans to take some staged pictures as evidence in the next few days. At that time, she will directly ask the president and others to contact the website and directly change the post into a topic page. From then on, monthly club activities can rely on staged pictures. Getting by.

It seems that witnesses are still needed. It seems that Natsume Sonoko has to find a few more witnesses.

Moreover, people have to find traces of themselves that cannot be found. If they can find themselves in areas with abnormal temperatures every time, wouldn’t it be embarrassing to be captured on surveillance videos that can be seen everywhere?

Thinking of this, you can't go to a place like the Academy Garden where there are dense cameras.

Natsume Sonoko was walking on the road when suddenly there was a roar in her ears, as if there was the sound of something exploding.

More and more people began to gather in front of them. Just taking a look from a distance, Natsume Sonoko didn't want to join in the fun, but she was still pushed forward by the crowd behind her.

"Another bombing, are they becoming more and more frequent now?" A student next to Natsume Sonoko looked panicked.

"I heard that someone was injured in an explosion a few days ago."

"Did the trash can explode? I won't dare to go near the trash can anymore."

Natsume Sonoko squeezed out of the crowd silently, which was easy because she was relatively small.

Natsume Sonoko sighed helplessly, this Academy City is really not boring at all.

After observing the surroundings for a while, no suspicious persons were found. Natsume Sonoko, who was planning to deal with the prisoners and eliminate the trouble, gave up this plan.

Beside a river in the [-]th School District, scattered flashlights shined on the river, like searchlights.

"This is the lake that mysteriously freezes over at seven o'clock every night? It's better not to look at it. It's already very late now. Let's go back quickly." Uiharu-san said worriedly, holding Saten-san's arm.

"Not only that, I heard from the post that as soon as the time reaches seven o'clock, the temperature in a certain area nearby will change bizarrely. Not only will a large lake surface freeze, but sometimes snowflakes will fall. , there are rumors that there is a legendary ice dragon living under the water, and of course there are also rumors that this is a testing ground for a certain Academy City."

Saten Ruiko said with bared teeth. Uiharu-san seemed to be startled and her whole body was a little nervous.

"Uiharu! There is nothing to be afraid of. There are many people nearby who are watching the fun like us, and Natsume-san is also here with us, isn't he?" Saten-san comforted, looking to the side. Natsume Sonoko, who was sitting blankly, said.

"Natsume Sonoko-san, do you also believe this urban legend?" Uiharu classmate couldn't help but ask Natsume Sonoko-san on the side.

"I don't really believe it, but it doesn't matter if you take a look. But it doesn't seem to be an ice dragon. It's a weather machine made in Academy City, and it seems to have the ability to move around."

Natsume Sonoko had a curious and solemn look on her face, and at the same time she corrected the mistake in Saten-san's words just now, like an avid urban legend enthusiast.

To be honest, she didn't expect to meet Saten-san and Uiharu-san here.

As the creator of an urban legend, Natsume Sonoko naturally needs someone to witness all of this. As a result, she uploaded the photos to the Internet just the day before yesterday, and today it attracted such a large number of people.

After a little estimation of the number of people nearby, there were fifteen or six people who came to watch the fun and act as extras.

"Watch carefully, it's time to witness the miracle." Among the crowd, Natsume Sonoko was still sitting blankly. Seeing that the time was almost up, she silently began to use her abilities.

She obviously didn't do anything, just sitting in the crowd, no matter what happened, it can't be blamed on her.

In order to allow enough witnesses, Director Natsume can be said to have thought hard for a long time before deciding to find a place to invite everyone to see the winter scenery.

The surrounding temperature began to drop, and the change in temperature was particularly eye-catching in the hot summer atmosphere, especially on the lake not far away, which already had some shallow ice.

These ice layers continued to expand, and finally turned into a huge irregular semi-circular object.

There was enough water vapor nearby, and when it met the strong cold air in the sky, it condensed into ice crystals, which slowly fell down to form snowflakes, which happened to fall on the heads of Saten Ruiko and others.

"It's true, this legend is true." Saten Ruiko's eyes showed excitement, she touched the snowflakes on her head, and pulled Uiharu's classmate to dance a little.

"We seem to be in the middle of the snowflakes. It seems that we are very close to this machine. Do you think this machine is near us?"

Natsume Sonoko looked solemn, looked around exaggeratedly, put one finger in front of her mouth to make a hissing gesture, and then pointed to the ground with one finger.

"Natsume-san, are you saying that the machine is right next to us, or at our feet?" Uiharu-san said hesitantly, looking around worriedly.

But Saten-san was still looking around curiously, as if he wanted to find traces of the machine.

Chapter 27 This month’s scholarship is about to arrive.

A river that is rumored to be controlled by a weather machine and mysteriously freezes.

As the river water swims in the river, the periphery of the irregularly circular ice layer has a tendency to continue to fall off. However, even if the peripheral ice layer does not break, it will re-condensate into ice on the water surface.

"Saten-san, Natsume-san, let's leave quickly. I always feel like it's weird here. Stop looking for that machine."

Uiharu classmate felt uncomfortable all over, as if he was being stared at by some evil eyes hidden in the dark, and said with a somewhat anxious tone.

"What's weird, Uiharu-san, I am actually the weather machine, codenamed Natsume 9527."

Natsume Sonoko stood there with a dull look on her face and spoke in the same tone as in classic robot movies without any emotion.

He spoke one word at a time, speaking very slowly, sounding like a roar, and waving his hands mechanically, like an old, slow-moving machine. After speaking, he pointed a flashlight at his somewhat dull and rigid face.

"Really, Natsume-kun, don't be scary."

Uiharu, who was caught off guard, saw Natsume Sonoko's face that was surprisingly white under the flashlight. He was immediately frightened and took a few steps back. His eyes were wide open and he was a little overwhelmed, and he bumped into Saten Ruiko's body.

"Uharu, you are too timid. It's just an old model."

Saten Ruiko didn't know when she turned around and looked at Uiharu-san, and patted Uiharu-san on the shoulder. When Uiharu-san turned her face around, she also held up a flashlight to shine on her face.

"Actually, I am also a robot, codenamed Saten Ruiko First Generation Machine." Saten-san suddenly smiled gloomily, like a highly intelligent evil robot.

"Ahhhh." A scream came from Uiharu's classmate.

Without bothering to find traces of the weather machine, after making a certain joke, Natsume Sonoko and Saten Ruiko encountered a big crisis.

"Uiharu-san, don't be angry. I was just joking." Natsume Sonoko clasped her hands apologetically, looking at Uiharu-san who was standing under the snow and sulking, feeling a bit at a loss.

"Sorry, sorry, as compensation, how about I treat you to a croquette?" Saten stood aside, his face full of apology, and he hurriedly made remedial measures.

"The same goes for me. Since Saten-san has treated you to croquettes, I will treat you to takoyaki. Uiharu-san, don't be angry." Natsume Sonoko doesn't have much talent in comforting people, but she immediately got the essence of Saten-san.

Uiharu's classmate also turned his head at this time, pouting with a hint of sullenness on his face.

"If you don't forgive me, I will still be angry for a while." Uiharu said, still a little angry.

Three minutes later, the two finally got forgiveness from Uiharu-san. In addition to the two conditions of croquettes and takoyaki, Natsume Sonoko also agreed to let the two of them visit her dormitory as an additional condition.

After recalling her dormitory, Natsume Sonoko remembered that her bed was as neat as if it had never been used, and the things under the bed had been neatly arranged in categories.

Apart from the need to tidy up the things I had left lying around and forgotten to put away, there is nothing I dare not let others see.

However, Natsume Sonoko also discovered that Uiharu-san seemed to have a special admiration for Tokiwadai Middle School and yearned for the life of a young lady. Of course, according to Saten-san, this was just yearning for the upper class society.

"There is so little snow, and the ice layer looks so crude. It can't be just a machine that failed to be developed in Academy City." An unknown passerby said a little unhappy, and Natsume Sonoko on the side said something thoughtful. Glanced at him.

People came around to check on the situation one after another, but as time went by, the snowflakes became less and less.

The lake surface on the side also gradually thawed, and the water flow broke away large pieces of ice. Soon the culprit that hindered the flow of the river completely disappeared.

Natsume Sonoko took back her power and couldn't help but feel satisfied when she looked at the crowd of people around her who were sighing with emotion.Very good. As a director, I am undoubtedly very successful. I am looking for a few places to hang out, and then I will wait for it to be included on the website.

....Ordinary dividing lines....

It was another brand new day. When she got up from the sofa in the student dormitory, Natsume Sonoko felt refreshed all over.

Today is an ordinary day, but there is something different about it.

Today is the day when I receive a scholarship for the first time since I entered Tokiwadai Middle School.

By the way, the number of scholarships this time has definitely doubled. Regarding economic issues, Natsume Sonoko is as concerned as developing her abilities.

I picked up a common student notebook from the desk in the dormitory. The first few pages contained some unexplained Martian words.

During a certain period of time in elementary school, Natsume Sonoko devoted herself to studying the Martian characters for a period of time because her thinking was too much.

By splitting traditional Chinese characters, Japanese characters, and adding various symbols and emoticons to form these strange words on the notebook, Natsume Sonoko felt that this could be used as her own password pad.

I opened Natsume Sonoko's code book and flipped it to the middle pages. There was Natsume Sonoko's bank card sandwiched there.

Because she was a little worried that carrying her bank card with her would cause it to be lost or damaged, Natsume Sonoko hid her bank card in the crevices of notebooks that could be seen everywhere in the dormitory.

The most dangerous place is the safest place. Natsume Sonoko feels that she has a talent for hiding private money.

But today happens to be the day when scholarships are distributed, and bank cards also come in handy.

Natsume Sonoko can comfortably check the increasing balance at the cash machine while withdrawing some cash for daily expenses in the next month.

The only thing that makes Natsume Sonoko unhappy is that although Academy City's technology is already very advanced, it does not yet support mobile payment. The possible reason is that there are too many hackers in this city and the network security environment is worrying.

Natsume Sonoko put her bank card in her pocket, hurriedly brushed her teeth, washed her face, and put her appearance in order in the bathroom. A radiant Tokiwadai Middle School student appeared in front of the mirror.

Looking closely at the mirror, Natsume Sonoko found that the dark circles under her eyes were gradually fading. It seemed that her sleep had improved recently, which may have been caused by adapting to Tokiwadai's work and rest schedule.

"Good morning, Misaka-senpai, Shirai-san." Just after walking out of the door, Natsume Sonoko met Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko who were also going out.

"What happened to you today? Normally you should be lying in your room sleeping at this time!" Shirai Kuroko's face immediately showed a vigilant look, and he kept looking at Natsume Sonoko.

"Well, it's true that I rarely meet Misaka-senpai in the morning." Natsume Sonoko thought about it carefully, subconsciously looked at the time, and recalled her usual self.

Today I woke up about 10 minutes earlier than usual, even before the prescribed time to get up.

"So you are acting strange today. Are you paying attention to onee-sama again?" Stretching out his arms, Kuroko Shirai nervously stopped in front of Misaka-senpai, immediately attracting a lot of attention.

I, Shirai Kuroko, once swore that I would always protect onee-sama and be her staunchest backing. Anything that threatens onee-sama will be blocked ruthlessly, especially someone with evil intentions who tries to occupy me. status irrelevant personnel.

"You guy, you not only took away onee-sama's spare time, but now you want to take away the morning that only belongs to onee-sama and Kuroko? It's simply unforgivable!"

Just when Kuroko Shirai was immersed in his own world, speaking forcefully and confronting a certain honest-looking man with a tit-for-tat tone.

Misaka-senpai's hands turned into steel swords.Swinging it high, it gathered huge gravitational potential energy and landed in the middle of Kuroko-san's twin tails like a falling meteorite.

"Don't say such misleading words!" Misaka-senpai narrowed her eyes and said emotionally.

Ignoring for the moment Kuroko Shirai, who is squatting with his head in his hands, judging from the twitching of the muscles in Misaka-senpai's eyebrows and feet when she strikes, it seems that the pressure has increased recently. Although Shirai-san should not bear all the blame, But [-]% to [-]% of it should be well deserved.

Natsume Sonoko silently recalled the recent posts about vending machines. After counting the days after Shirai-san moved to Misaka-senpai's room, the number of posts seemed to be increasing with the momentum of a tornado destroying the parking lot.

The scene became inexplicably harmonious. As Natsume Sonoko stood thinking about what words to use to ease this rather embarrassing scene, there was a sound of footsteps behind her.

Natsume Sonoko suddenly felt someone pat her back. When she turned around, she saw a little maid with a calm smile.

"It's Tsuchimikado-san, long time no see." Natsume Sonoko broke away from the harmonious atmosphere just now, and then said to Tsuchimikado Maika-san who appeared behind her at some point.

"Natsume-san, we haven't seen each other for a long time. We saw each other in the restaurant yesterday." Tsuchimikado Maixia-san said in a leisurely tone, raising a finger. After finishing speaking, she slightly held up the maid's skirt with both hands and faced it. Everyone performed a standard maid ceremony.

Chapter 28 Tsuchimikado-kun wants to borrow comics

Although Maika Tsuchimikado is still just a trainee maid, she is an outstanding student that Danglan Home Economics School is proud of in every aspect.

She is outstanding in some aspects, especially the dishes she makes by herself, which makes her stand out among the trainee maids.

"Hello, Tsuchimikado-san." Misaka-senpai pulled Kuroko Shirai, who was squatting on the ground and holding her head, and then said.

"Good morning, Tsuchimikado-san." Shirai Kuroko rubbed his head and stood up. As he said this, he looked at Natsume Sonoko with a vague gaze.

Natsume Sonoko felt the resentful gaze of classmate Shirai, and looked back at someone with some dissatisfaction.

"Tsuchimikado-san, are you also helping to repair the circuits in the afterlife today?"

Misaka-san remembered that a few days ago, Tsuchimikado-san was helping to repair the circuit in the dormitory with a multimeter, and couldn't help but ask.

"No, my work has come to an end. Now it's my private walking time. You must know that the maid is not a robot."

Her tone was carefree, as free as if she were camping in the wild. A dimple appeared at the corner of Tsuchimikado's mouth, which seemed to indicate that she was a unique and unique maid.

Tsuchimikado slightly adjusted the cuffs and neckline of the maid skirt, and tied a small bow tie with a unique technique on the neckline. He looked full of energy.

This is fundamentally different from the awakening achieved by stimulating capillaries with low temperature. This is full of motivation from the inside out.

"Tsuchimikado-san has finished his work so early?!"

Natsume Sonoko showed a look of shock from the bottom of her heart, as if the teacher had just handed out the holiday homework yesterday, and before she had written her name, the good student next door had already finished it.

Originally, Natsume Sonoko was still complacent about getting up early, but there are mountains outside the people, and Natsume Sonoko found that she still had too little knowledge.
