Academy City Temperature Control

"This armed group actually wants to deal with the prisoners who attack the incompetent. Since we are doing it for them, some things must be explained clearly to them."

Shirai Kuroko added something in a low voice.

...

The girl's negotiation ability is only at the level of an ordinary junior high school student. She can only laugh and chat with others about non-nutritious things. The girl whose speech dodge level is currently only level 0 is sitting quietly on a small bench on the side of the abandoned warehouse.

The symbolic meaning of staying here is greater than the actual meaning. The superpower and mascot lady tried hard to maintain a ladylike sitting posture, pressing the hem of her skirt with both hands to prevent it from being exposed, and then looked at her classmates with a dull look on her face.

This time it seemed a little bolder, instead of adopting conventional stealth tactics, it just deployed heat sensing of more than 200 meters.However, he seemed to feel that Shirai-san was too slow in negotiating, so he casually found a seat and started to rest.

"That classmate, thank you for the strawberry drink last time."

The waiting time was always boring, but Natsume's eyes suddenly lit up and he tried to strike up a conversation with a familiar girl from an armed group not far away.

Unfortunately, Natsume-san's charm was obviously not full, and the other party was very hesitant.

"Ah, um... you're welcome."

After a while, Natsume-san received an unconfident response.

Natsume-san smiled awkwardly. She could understand this feeling of embarrassment, but this time she became the one who made others nervous.

Although she doesn't care about the various auras surrounding herself, many people do, and it can even be a reason for both parties to sit down and negotiate.

After once again realizing the huge influence brought by this name, Natsume-san felt that using it in this way was not bad, at least it was a power that could gather people's hearts.

"The eighth...sir."

There was a sound like a mosquito in her ears, and Natsume-san realized that the person speaking was still the slightly embarrassed girl just now, and this time she even used the honorific title "sama".

"If the armed group announces that it will no longer protect the incompetent, and Brother Komaba and the others will no longer protect us, then will you, the eighth master, take the place of Brother Komaba?"

The volume of the voice gradually increased, and the girl finally plucked up the courage to speak seriously, feeling some anxiety welling up in her heart.

Not far away, Shirai-san was negotiating with several important members of the armed group. In addition to Hamazura Shiage and Komaba Toshiyoshi whom he met last time, there was also a young man named Hattori Hanzo.

The contents of their exchanges were not kept secret. Anyway, from time to time, Natsume-san could hear comments such as disbanding some personnel and coordinating actions.

"Shall I take the place of Komaba-senpai?"

Frowning slightly, Natsume-san suddenly came back to his senses and looked at the girl who was not much taller than him with some surprise.

Of course, she was not asked to be the leader of the armed incompetent people. There was no way she, a super-powered person, could become the leader of the armed group.It's just that the pressure of the attackers, which was originally borne by the armed group, has now been borne by Natsume-san and the others.

"There's no need for this. This time we plan to deal with all the attackers who appear and then send them to the security guard building. That way, no one will be attacked by them."

"So don't worry, this incident will be resolved smoothly."

Sensing something strange about the other party, a certain ball head's expression became serious.

"What's different is that those attackers will not disappear. They will come out again after the juvenile court punishment is over."

The girl who was called Yazawa by others tried hard to resist the intense pressure brought by the title of eighth. She gritted her teeth before continuing to speak, obviously not trusting that the attackers would completely change their minds due to official punishment.

The targets chosen by those attackers are random, but not all the people who pass through the gray zone are random.

Some of the gray areas are deserted and abandoned corners, but there are also many gray areas that have gradually formed due to various reasons.Broken surveillance equipment, back streets, narrow alleys between multiple buildings are all part of the so-called gray zone.

There are even places where some students must pass by to get to and from school, unless they take a long detour. They don't have bulletproof school buses to pick them up every day.

"Hey, let it out?"

"At that time, it would be enough to catch them again."

Some natural thoughts came to mind, and Natsume Sonoko vaguely grasped the other party's concerns.

"Is that so? I understand. Can I tell everyone this?"

The other party's expression instantly relaxed, and he even said with some expectancy.

Great, that's the promise of number eight.

And No. [-] seems to be much easier to communicate with than rumored.

Chapter 424 Prevention

Warm cheers came from around me, and Natsume-san's unfailing promise spread.

After Natsume-san joined the Discipline Committee, due to the frequent absence of work and lack of exposure, the changes brought about were limited to various rumors and gossip. This was probably the first time that someone had openly displayed his identity as a Discipline Committee member and a person with super powers. appeared in the sight of so many people.

In fact, even she herself is not sure what impact her casual words will have.Just seeing how happy everyone suddenly became, it was difficult to take back what I had said before as a matter of course, so I had to keep a ladylike smile and smile indifferently.

But pretending to be a lady is really hard.

Ever since she entered Tokiwadai Middle School, she has been burdened with the inexplicable burden of being a eldest lady. Recently, it seems that she has gained the burden of an idol. Natsume-san works hard to remain elegant in front of strangers.

And when the punishment of the attackers was completed, it would be three or four months later. Things in the future were obviously not taken into consideration by a young lady who focused on the present.

"There are about a dozen attackers. It seems there is no hope of resolving the incident in a day or two."

Gently looking up at the ceiling, Natsume-san was lost in thought about something regardless of the noisy environment around her.

I want to spend a relaxing afternoon leisurely and enjoy a cup of black tea bought in early spring. Why is it so difficult to live such a simple life?

"Hey, you guy, it's time to get up and work."

His thoughts were interrupted momentarily, and the outline of a girl with twin tails appeared in Natsume's sight.Under the dim light, the outline looked a little more blurry.

Before she could escape from the blurry perspective, one of her hands was firmly grasped by the other party, and then she disappeared from the area without any resistance.

A warm touch came from the held hand, and the brown hair exuded the smell of the same shampoo. The two disciplinary committee girls broke through the limitations of space and appeared side by side in the empty atmosphere.

"Negotiations with armed groups have yielded results."

"It was a wise decision of yours to take Natsume-kun with you."

Before anyone could ask a question, Shirai-san had already mentioned the important point, and along the way, he praised Natsume Sonoko, who was already in a state of dissatisfaction.

"They agreed?"

After a pause, Natsume-san looked a little surprised.

Although I had already guessed that the other party was unlikely to refuse, in addition to the disciplinary committee being too strong, there was also the reason why the other party saw hope of resolving the incident.

But Natsume-san and the others also know that if the other party agrees, it will only be harmful to the armed group itself.

A normal leader probably wouldn't be able to make such a decision, but standing up for an irrelevant incompetent person is an abnormal thing in itself.

"Half agreed."

Facing the strong wind blowing in his face, Shirai slowly landed on the rooftop of a building, looking at the endless buildings to the limit of his sight.

"If the guards and discipline committee members cannot do their jobs well, then they will do it their own way. But before that, they are willing to do it our way."

Shirai-san said, with a more serious look on his face.

Isn't it normal in this city for guys with power to bully guys without power?If you can't count on the belated disciplinary committee members and security guards, you might as well protect yourself.

"Actually, I think the discipline committee can definitely do more, but the adults don't want us to interfere in matters outside the scope of the school."

"When faced with danger, there are so many differences between inside and outside school."

With a hint of complaint in his tone, Shirai-san spoke.

Although she initially took up writing letters of repentance as a daily hobby, it didn't mean that she liked writing this kind of thing.If the surrounding discipline committee members had joined in before, even patrolling nearby would reduce many victims.

To successfully become a disciplinary committee member, you basically need to sign 9 agreements, then pass 12 adaptability tests and 4 months of training.

Even though Natsume-san went through the back door like this, he honestly signed nine agreements and knew clearly the dangers he would face when becoming a member of the Disciplinary Committee.

But as ordinary students, they cannot resist the will of the security teacher, or the official will of Academy City.

"I don't agree with that."

"Shirai-san, your idea is very dangerous. The Disciplinary Committee already has a lot of work to do, so we shouldn't add any more burden to everyone."

"Not everyone is as energetic as you, Shirai-san. Everyone hopes to have a less busy afternoon."

Natsume-san shook her head solemnly, as if speaking her mind. This time she was clearly on Academy City's side.

She believes that solving gray areas and expanding the security guard team are the keys to dealing with such incidents, and asking the discipline committee members to work overtime is definitely not the answer.

We conducted some discussions on whether the disciplinary committee members should bear more responsibilities, but in the end no useful conclusions were reached.

However, Natsume-san objected firmly with her mouth, but she was very honest with her body, and she honestly accompanied Shirai-san to solve the incident in front of her.

Just thinking about the decision made by the armed group just now made her feel more elusive.

This little time is not enough to even get to know each other, let alone gain the extravagant trust of each other. In this way, Natsume-san and the others seem to have shouldered a burden of expectations and hopes.

When Shirai-san chose to pretend to be someone with super powers to negotiate with the armed group and succeeded, no matter how big-hearted Natsume-san was, he knew that he needed to take responsibility for those emotions.

More and more people are looking forward to the ghost girl walking in the urban forest.

"Having said that, 'skill out' promised to give up patrols in the gray area and withdraw all manpower, so the next work will be completely left to us."

"There's no problem with me here. You guys don't want to desert."

With a raised eyebrow, Shirai Kuroko skillfully took out the armband from his pocket and handed a spare headset to Natsume Sonoko.

Of course, negotiation is not about one side having the final say.

According to the conditions finally negotiated, Komaba Reed, the leader, will be admitted to the hospital on the grounds that the clockwork bandage caused serious side effects. Most members will stop activities because there is no leader, creating a vacuum in the Seventh School District. of gray area.

As long as the game continues, most of the attackers will appear one after another.Maybe a few people with strong vigilance will be missed in the end, but as long as this trend is stopped, it will be the greatest success.

The main purpose of law enforcement is to punish criminals, but ultimately it is to prevent new crimes.

Chapter 425 Indian Poker

Satellites swivel in orbit to capture light and microwaves coming from specific directions.

In conjunction with multi-angle surveillance cameras, more than a dozen specially marked figures appeared on the large display screen of the 177th branch of the Discipline Committee.

Having said that, because they had received a generous compensation after being attacked by a magician, this humble branch finally had the money to replace a batch of new equipment for Uiharu.

And these suspects found through various means have been added with functions similar to face recognition.As long as you use some basic positioning and position comparison, you can accurately grasp the movements in the normal world.

Anyone who approaches or attempts to enter the key surveillance area will notify the girl in front of the computer with warnings of different strengths according to the degree of proximity, making it easier to allocate the few poor manpower in the branch.

"Natsume-san, didn't you say that all the scholarships were used up before?"

"I knew all the young ladies must have private money."

Taking a sip of the steaming black tea, Chuchun leaned comfortably on the seat and enjoyed a fulfilling and busy afternoon life.

With the help of automatically executed computer programs, you don't need to stare at the computer all the time.In early spring, her main job was to keep in touch with a few girls who were working outside, and by the way, chat with a certain meathead who really had no motivation.

It's a pity that for some reason only the last bit of the high-end black tea I bought last time is left.

This made Uiharu a little worried. At this terrible rate of consumption, her scholarship and disciplinary committee allowance combined might not be able to sustain this kind of expenditure.

"This is not important."

"But this is definitely my last scholarship."

I bought some oden and croquettes from a street food stall. Detective Natsume, who was lurking in the predetermined area, was asking the stall owner to add more seasonings for himself.

Although she looked carefree, she was very serious about completing her part of the work.And work should also pay attention to the balance between work and rest.

"Hehe, I understand everything."

Uiharu's gentle laughter came from the headset, and it seemed to match the plot of some girls' comics.

Even though it was an important operation that affected a large number of people with bad abilities, none of the discipline committee girls seemed to show much nervousness.

Compared with various situations encountered before, although this type of incident is complicated, the danger involved is not great.Under the premise of mastering a large amount of information and trends of the opponent's abilities, there is basically no possibility of missing a target.

"The target has arrived."

Natsume-san paused, not even looking at the guy who was getting closer and closer, but just using the radar map to lock on to the opponent's movements.

By the way, he put the freshly baked croquettes into his mouth, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face at the right moment, perfectly playing the role of an ordinary passerby.

This guy is completely uninspiring, I just hope that his movements can be a little faster, so that Natsume-san might be more merciful when he strikes.If you are so lazy even attacking others, you really have no merit at all.

"It's ready here too, the flying camera is ready."

"The other party is about to leave the surveillance area. It seems that this time it is likely to be a real attack."

Uiharu's affirmative answer came immediately from the headset, and then a certain temperature-controlled girl slowly disappeared in a deserted corner of the street.

At this time, a handsome boy who had just entered the gray area suddenly felt a cold feeling on his back, but when he took a closer look, he found nothing.
