Academy City Temperature Control

Smiling and saying hello, Natsume Sonoko was not someone who cared about everything. She usually just ignored the problem of moving in a certain space.

"By the way, both Kizuri and Harukami will come to the branch today to help. Harukami said she would also come to bring cakes she made."

Misaka-senpai pushed Shirai-san to leave. Then she remembered something and turned back to Natsume-san.

"Hey, Harunami and the others are coming too."

After sighing for a moment, Natsume-san seemed a little happy on his face.

Came to the 177th branch of the Discipline Committee.

As long as you stand on the road not far away, you can see the conspicuous big hole in the back wall of the Discipline Committee Branch 177 at a glance.

Natsume-san remained calm as always, raising the corners of his mouth at a 45-degree angle, as if to prevent others from seeing that these big holes were made by himself.

A truck loaded with building materials parked on the side of the road, buckets of paint were neatly stacked on the ground, some wires and internal pipes for replacement, stacks of brand new bricks and marble floors...

The quantity of these materials far exceeds the actual needs of the Disciplinary Committee branch, because various problems in the corridor on the second floor still need to be dealt with.

The compensation provided by Miss Kanzaki and the others also included these losses.

In addition to these materials, you can also see some common construction tools.

As more and more building materials pile up, the deep sense of uncertainty becomes clearer.

Looking at Misaka-senpai who was searching for how to build a house on her cell phone, Natsume Sonoko felt that the problem seemed bigger than she thought.

It seems that Sister Gufa is really serious, even the tools and materials are ready.

Originally, Natsume-san thought it was just a matter of painting and moving things around, and at most helping to patch up holes in the walls.

It's a little tricky.

Natsume-san couldn't help but pick up her phone, and together with Misaka-senpai, they searched for the process of building a house.

On the other side, Chun Shang, a classmate, was holding the cake box carefully, looking blankly at the people around him who suddenly became serious.

"These tools were finally borrowed from my senior who went to architecture university, and thanks to his connections, all the materials are on sale."

With a paper hat on her head and a big shovel as tall as a person in her hand, Senior Sister Gufameiwei clenched her empty fist vigorously, seeming very confident.

Chapter 3 The new director of Zhachuan Middle School

Black iron sand suspended in the air.

Just like flexible hands, mixed building materials are driven into the gaps in the wall, and the internal wire network is replaced along the way.

It's great that Misaka-senpai solved most of the problems by herself.

As an esper with an astonishing amount of knowledge and powerful actions, this railgun lady is so reliable no matter where she is.

From wall repairs to pipe replacement to floor tile re-laying, everything was done with ease and professionalism.

It seemed that he had come up with some novel decoration plan on a whim.

The contractor, Senior Sister Gufa, held the construction drawings in her hands and kept wandering around the branch, squinting her eyes and making gestures back and forth.

While gesticulating, he and a certain crappy amateur construction engineer Kuroko Shirai were discussing whether to build a small balcony along the gap in the wall inside the branch.

The small balcony in the drawing extends about 1.5 meters along the wall, which can accommodate five or six people to enjoy the scenery at the same time. There is also a specially designed area for placing potted plants, which looks very good.

However, they also encountered some problems. First, they had to solve the problem of the support points of the small balcony so that it could not affect the overall load-bearing capacity of the house.

Yesterday's sudden attack by a magician criminal gang seemed to be an opportunity for the Discipline Committee Branch 177 to change the decoration style. Some of the Discipline Committee members and a few enthusiastic citizens present were very happy about it.

Everyone today is really full of energy. Planet Six just wants to sweat it out.

Natsume, who wore a crooked paper hat on his head and a simple newspaper shirt on his body, passed by with a paint bucket and looked at the other people who were having sex with concern.

It seems that considering the principle of doing things according to individual conditions, even if the difficulty of decoration has become much more complicated, Natsume-san's job is still painting as expected.

It was as unchallenging as I imagined. Painting quietly by myself is quite suitable for Natsume-san's quiet personality.

Natsume-san doesn’t have much knowledge about architecture, but he is very good at demolishing houses.

If Natsume-san is tasked with demolishing houses, he might be able to demolish a street in one day.

The cute strawberry pattern is particularly eye-catching as the skirt dances.

Not far away was Uiharu, who was screaming, and Saten-san who was squatting on the ground, holding his chin and thinking about something with a curious face.

She couldn't help but take a step back. Senior Narugo, who helped reclassify the Discipline Committee's documents, couldn't help but open her mouth wide and her pupils dilated a little, as if she had received a great visual impact.

Gathered together to select cheap and good-looking new furniture, Edasen Tanori and Harukami Jinyi were trying to balance the budget and actual prices. Inadvertently, they passed by Natsume-san carrying a paint bucket.

"Harunami, I want the table with the small bookshelf and the movable backsplash."

Suddenly coming over, Natsume-san put aside her work and joined the discussion enthusiastically.

"But the price of this is high."

Harukami opened the purchase interface and said hesitantly.

"It doesn't matter, it's normal to go a little over the budget."

Today, a guy with no haircut looked very serious, using his fingers to draw the approximate amount of excess in the air.

Although the division of labor is different, everyone works hard.

Even the lazy Natsume-san was very careful and evenly applied the paint to the corridor wall after cleaning the burnt wall.

Although it is applied directly by using the power, it is not much different from the roller brush.

The joint decoration team of Tokiwadai Middle School and Sagawa Middle School entered the next stage after Misaka-senpai did most of the work alone.

Gufameiwei, the contractor, walked along the corridor to the disciplinary committee branch and inspected everyone's results in a formal manner.

The entire branch has almost restored its original appearance, except for the hole in the wall of the room, which is because a small balcony needs to be built here, and the specific construction still needs to be discussed.

"Chun Shang, have you decided on the furniture you want to buy?"

Turning his head, Gufa Meiwei caught a glimpse of Harunami and the others who were still calculating the amount, and a questioning look appeared on his face.

"Senior, it's been confirmed, but it's a little over the budget."

With some hesitation, Harugami Jinyi stretched out two fingers and pinched a small ball of air. He remembered that Natsume made the same gesture just now.

But everything went smoothly, and the purchase application was successfully approved by Senior Sister Gufa. It seems that this time the funds are more abundant than expected.

He held a fruit knife in his hand, stabbed it hard from the middle, and then cut the cake in half.

Natsume-san didn't pay much attention to evenness when dividing the cake. Anyway, the cake was big and everyone could eat it.

As the Sonoko sister whom Kizuna respected the most, Natsume-san changed her past style and generously gave the biggest piece to Kizuna.

"Sonoko-sister, it's a bit too much." This was Kizuri's voice.

With her smooth forehead exposed and her hair firmly fixed to one side with a hairband, the girl named Eda Sentori is still so neat and tidy.

It seems that Kizumi has been discharged from the hospital for almost a month.

Since transferring to Sagawa Middle School, his body has become much stronger, and now he looks very much like a qualified junior high school student. This made Natsume-san happily pat Kizuri's shoulder.

"It's okay, eat more."

Natsume-san said with a smile.

"Speaking of which, Tsunri, do you know how Mr. Kiyama is doing now?"

Putting the fruit knife aside, Natsume-san came to Tizuri's side and asked with some concern.

Ever since Teacher Kiyama was discharged from the hospital last time, and because she has been busy with a lot of things recently, Natsume-san hasn’t had much contact with her.

"Teacher Mushan, she originally planned to apply for the ability development class teacher at Zhachuan Middle School, but she failed without even passing the resume."

There was a trace of disappointment on Kizuri's face, and she seemed to be looking forward to Haruo Kiyama becoming her teacher again.

However, due to a series of extremely dangerous incidents such as Fantasy Controller, even if the wanted order was canceled due to the intervention of the Underworld Soul Chaser, there are not many opportunities to become a teacher. Perhaps he can return to some laboratories to continue research.

At the time, most of Kiyama Harusheng's students, including Tanori, entered Sagawa Middle School.

"Oh, what a shame."

"But now he is one of the trustees of our school."

"Eh!"

Tilting her head, Natsume-san felt a little weird.

Is this the legendary penetration of the enemy?

"You mean that woman is now your director?"

Suddenly hearing the extremely impactful conversation, a certain discipline committee member in a wheelchair couldn't help but cough a few times.

For a period of time, Shirai-san was very concerned about that woman.

It was because of her relationship that bad things happened to Saten-san, and even Academy City fell into chaos during that period.

It wasn't until later that I realized that Kiyama Harusei's purpose was actually to save her students.

"Yeah." Kizuri nodded.

"I also have the impression that a very wealthy woman has recently become a director of Zhachuan Middle School."

Thinking of something, Saten-san said with some enlightenment.

Chapter 3: Really a big star

Except for child care facilities such as nurseries and kindergartens, most of Academy City's schools are private, including Tokiwadai Middle School.

Under such a premise, it is not too difficult to pay to become a trustee of a certain school.

Even Tokiwadai Middle School, where Natsume-san attends, is said to have some big figures on the governing council behind it.

Part of the reason why Natsume-san was able to successfully become a superpower has to do with the power behind Tokiwadai Middle School.

However, Natsume-san didn't care much about the intricate network of people behind her school. She always felt that it had nothing to do with her. As long as the school subsidized enough scholarships, she would be fine.

"If it's Mr. Kiyama, it makes sense if he has so much money."

He nodded somewhat naturally. Natsume-san had ridden in that teacher's car several times, and he seemed to have his own private property.

Although the teacher often ate instant noodles habitually and looked a little malnourished, that was all superficial.

When it comes to Mr. Kiyama, Natsume-san thinks of her own zero.

With the help of Mr. Kiyama, Natsume's genes were used to repair the genes that Reizi lacked. The two were also connected to each other because of the relationship between the imaginary hand and the biological computer.

However, Natsume-san has also encountered some new situations now, and the relationship between Reiko and herself is getting closer and closer.

With the brainwave connection brought about by the spread of aim, the consciousnesses of Natsume-san and Reiko are constantly communicating. Although Reiko has only been born for nearly a month, her growth rate is much faster than that of ordinary children.

Now it has developed from the budding stage of consciousness to the time of ignorant exploration of the outside world.

Moreover, as soon as Natsume-san's consciousness leaves, Reiko will burst into tears, which also causes Reiko's roommates to be woken up on time every night.

Sometimes, when Natsume-san takes Zero to eat and brush her teeth early in the morning, she can see Misaka No. 9982 and the others with light dark circles under her eyes.

Therefore, children are the most difficult to take care of.

There are more and more things that need to be concerned about. Physical education classes in school are also a big problem. The upcoming Daihasei Festival also needs ideas. Natsume-san has been under a lot of pressure recently.

But since she has used the computing power in Reiko's body, Natsume-san will take good care of Reiko seriously. This is also the promise she made to Teacher Kiyama.

After all, Lingzi is no longer the synthetic creature with no humanity in his body.

"By the way, Narugo-senpai, are you going to perform on the street today?"

Putting down the cake in his hand, Natsume asked with concern as he looked at the electronic keyboard case placed by Narugo-senpai.

After the opening ceremony of the cosmic elevator was postponed indefinitely, the senior had no choice but to return to the streets.

It is indeed a pity to say that, Natsume-san can understand the feeling of loss.

And there is one thing that Natsume-san is a little concerned about.

The recent series of events are almost over, but the existence of Narugo-senpai is still a mystery to everyone.

The girl who suddenly appeared on the Orion three years ago had an unknown origin, but she brought miraculous luck.

But these boring things are not important at all, just like Misaka-senpai, she did not ask Natsume-san why she can afford a wooden bow.

"Well, Mr. Huang Quanchuan said that I can start to resume street performances."
