Academy City Temperature Control

The first time Dr. Natsume performed surgery, he received a super generous operating fee and so on.

Suddenly, Natsume's thoughts became divergent. The more he thought about it, the more it seemed possible.

His past life was somewhat entangled with Leitili, and coupled with the wooden bow that had long been broken into atoms, all the truth became a secret known only to the person involved.

But the biggest problem is that if Retili has been arrested, how did she contact the outside world?

"It's really weird, isn't it, Natsume-san."

Uiharu was a little confused and continued to look up the information, but Natsume's classmate beside him suddenly became enlightened.

"Ah."

Natsume-san nodded absently. Although he almost had an idea, they were just guesses after all.

"Ui Chun, how is Leitili doing now?"

Natsume-san asked with some concern after thinking of something.

Natsume-san doesn't have any feelings for this friend who may be his friend in the past life, but only out of an attitude of seeking verification.

It is very important that Natsume-san who has lost the memory of his past life is only Natsume-san himself and not anyone else.

She won't be overflowing with sympathy for someone she doesn't know, and the other person is a bad person she hates.

Even the pre-travel memories in the soul did not have much impact on Natsume-san. She still went her own way and became the Natsume Sonoko she is today.

"Natsume-san, didn't you read yesterday's news? The president of the Star Orbit Gate Society was sentenced to life imprisonment by the board of directors because of a private experiment, which caused an extremely harmful experimental accident."

"To be honest, I originally thought she would be sent to a juvenile reformatory, but I didn't expect it to be a special prison in the First School District."

Uiharu said with some emotion.

Uiharu already knew about the existence of magic, and could also imagine the fact that the little girl who looked only about ten years old was secretly an old lolita who had lived for hundreds of years.

But Leitili's physical age could only be considered ten years old. According to Academy City's rules, she should actually be sent to a juvenile reformatory.

However, in addition to the juvenile reformatory that officially provides disciplinary education to students, Academy City also has adult prisons under the indirect jurisdiction of the Neon Kingdom government, as well as some special prisons directly under the council.

"And because of this cold light incident, Academy City is also facing serious external pressure."

"Although I don't know the specific situation, I heard that envoys from many countries will be visiting soon."

Uiharu turned around and continued to add.

The impact on ordinary students like Natsume is almost over, but it has just begun for a huge city. How to deal with various subsequent impacts is the top priority.

An elderly loli who sought death due to mental disorder still left a huge mess even if she was caught.

"Was he sentenced to life imprisonment? It's pretty much what I thought."

Natsume-san nodded slightly, not having any objections to this punishment, but rather approving of it.As for the serious diplomatic problems Academy City is currently facing, Natsume-san doesn't care at all.

This city is disappointing enough, and only the existence of rules can make most people feel safe.

If we were to divide Natsume-san into some kind of camp, she would be a lawful good guy.

I believe that order is essential, but this order needs to make most people's lives better.

Although some Anbu are not bound by these Academy City rules because they are in another jungle law of the jungle, they still include most people in the city.

This city, where the two laws are intertwined and overlapping, maintains the youthful vitality on the surface and the viciousness secretly, and certain forces maintain their balance.

Chapter 3 The taste of half black tea

If there is a balanced scale that measures the city's bottom line, Natsume-san feels that she is also placed at one end of it and has become a somewhat important little weight.

Natsume has a very clear understanding of himself. Before he crosses the threshold of the microscopic world, he is at best a new student representative in this city.

A certain meathead's inflated self-confidence is also based on the intelligence analysis of the enemy and ourselves, coupled with his proud stealth ability, and he will not really be confused about his position.

Even though there are people like Natsume-san, there are eight of them on the surface of Academy City, but there are monsters inside that make Natsume-san have to take a detour.

As for the detour thing, I got used to it and regarded it as exercise.

Relying on the power of his own superpower, he is unable to fight against the unbearable being buried in the dark abyss. At best, he can only barely protect everything around him.

Even so, Natsume-san's thirst for power has not reached a perverted level, and he still lives a step-by-step life every day. This may be related to his relatively quiet temperament.

But he is constantly exercising his abilities every day, developing all kinds of strange formulas, and his own strength is steadily improving.

"Okay, I finally figured out the donation issue a little bit."

Using her arms to support her body, Natsume-san weakly sat up from her desk, with a small amount of her cheeks turning red due to the weight of her head.

"Huh? Natsume-kun figured it out."

Uiharu asked in surprise, completely unaware of what the certain meatball head understood.

"That's almost it. It should be the thank you money from Retili."

After thinking for a moment, Natsume-san answered honestly.

"Ok?"

"The situation on the space elevator was very complicated at that time. To be honest, I was also confused, but I probably did a big favor to Leitili."

Natsume-san doesn’t want to mention the matter of Bokugumi because it would be troublesome to explain.

"But didn't Natsume-san knock Rediri unconscious?"

Chuchun suddenly became curious.

Uiharu also knew a little bit about the situation at that time, because a certain meathead also mentioned this in the disciplinary committee.

Could it be that if you knock someone unconscious and still get gratitude from others, is this the legendary repaying kindness with kindness?

"That's what happened later. It happened a little before what I said."

Natsume-san hurriedly explained that she didn’t just idle around every day, and sometimes she would do good things.

Speaking of a certain meatball head's glorious deeds, it can be said that there are many records in the guard building of the Seventh School District.

For example, last night, she sent some people with bad abilities to sit in the guard building.

This kind of thing is a piece of cake, and Natsume-san is such a warm-hearted person.

"So it is."

There was some realization on Uiharu's face.

As expected of Natsume-san, he can even get thanks from the prisoner.

"But Natsume-san, why didn't you come here with Misaka-senpai and the others today?"

Chuchun gently picked up the teapot and refilled the tea cup in front of her. The smell of black tea floated in the branch room again.

"I woke up late today, and they had already gone out as soon as I woke up. I called and said that I was taking Shirai-san out to relax, which would be good for the injury."

Thinking of this, Natsume Sonoko whispered.

Chapter 3: Potion that produces mutation

It's quite normal to take the wounded out to relax, but leaving early in the morning and avoiding Natsume Sonoko's wake-up time must be another idea of ​​​​moving to a certain space.

Speaking of which, since Shirai-san was injured, Misaka-senpai's tolerance has improved a lot, and her whole person seems to have become much gentler.

This also caused a huge flaw in a certain meatball head's plan to wait for the rabbit, which did not take into account the issue of work and rest time.

"I am back."

The new door of the 177th branch of the Discipline Committee slowly opened. A mature girl with a sun-visible straw hat on her head waved to several people in the room and hung the hat on the new coat rack at the door.

Everything in the Disciplinary Committee branch has been brand new, except for the small balcony where the construction plan has been drawn up but has not officially started yet. Someone's new desk is now used to block the gap.

Under the frameless round lenses, the dark pupils glowed with a steady light, and the senior member of the Discipline Committee named Gu Famewei entered the door with something in his hand.

"Sister Gufa."*2

Chuchun sat slumped on a chair with a backrest that could be freely bent and retracted, with her whole body facing up to the sky, looking at Gufamiwei who had just entered the door with a strange posture.

"Natsume-san is here too."

"And that's not how new chairs work, Uiharu."

A smile flashed across Gufamiwei's face and he put six bottles of Musashino milk in the locker.

"I see."

Uiharu straightened up and said a little embarrassedly.

"Senior Gufa, you are injured."

A certain observant ball leader noticed the bandage wrapped around Senior Sister Gufa's arm and said with some surprise.

"I was slightly injured accidentally, but it's not serious."

There was no change in her expression, as if she was telling a normal thing, Senior Sister Gufa waved her hand and said.

If it were a certain meatball head, he would definitely not be able to help complaining everywhere.

"Is it true? What happened to Senior Sister Gufa?" Chuchun was also surprised and asked hurriedly.

"After I separated from everyone last night, I encountered a case on my way back."

Senior Sister Gufa recalled yesterday and said while pacing.

Although ability is not a perspective suitable for fighting, when it comes to fighting ability, this senior is not inferior to Shirai Kuroko.

If it can injure Senior Sister Solid Law, it means that the prisoner is not weak.

"Is this a case of assault on an incompetent person?"

Natsume-san asked with some concern. She also encountered a similar case yesterday.

"No, it was a robbery at an unmanned bank. The prisoner was very difficult. Fortunately, he met the security guards who were performing their tasks."

Senior Sister Gufa said with some seriousness that every now and then a bank robbery case would be dealt with. The security of this city was really worrying.

Security measures in Academy City have been increased recently, but crime incidents continue to increase unabated.

These security measures can only increase the costs for criminals, but cannot eliminate the darkness in people's hearts.

"However, there are things that are very concerning in this bank robbery. These are some things that were taken from the prisoner."

Thinking of something, Senior Sister Gufa took out her mobile phone and opened the photo album.

The photo showed a light green irregular crystal and a used needle.

Natsume couldn't help but put her eyes on the crystal. Its interior was a little turbid, and it was dotted with stars like the night sky, as if there were a lot of impurities inside.

"This is not like last time."

As a competent disciplinary committee member, Uiharu immediately thought of something, and a trace of surprise appeared on his face.

"What about last time?"

A certain lady from the Disciplinary Committee, who had no sense of existence, leaned over and asked.

"It was probably some time before the summer vacation. There were many cases of tree attacks in Academy City."

Chuchun turned her head, with a hint of seriousness on her face.

"Treant? I think I heard Shirai-san say that."

Thinking of some past events, Natsume bit her lip thoughtfully.

What was the situation like at that time?

Natsume-san thought for a moment and realized that she had no involvement in this incident. It was all done by the security guards, Shirai-san and the others.

"And this crystal is exactly the same as the life force crystal seized in the tree attack."

Senior Sister Gufa nodded, agreeing with Uiharu's view.

"But I haven't heard of any school districts having precious trees destroyed recently."

Uiharu thought for a while and said hesitantly.

Although many buildings have collapsed these days, and substations or water pipelines have been damaged from time to time, Academy City's environmental protection is still developing well.

"Then it's very possible that these crystals were actually made outside Academy City."

"But the most important thing is that these crystals can mutate people's bodies, and it seems that people have found a controllable way to use them, and they have flowed into Academy City."
