Academy City Temperature Control

“Is there any necessary connection between mackerel and Norway?”

After being slightly startled, Natsume, who came back to his senses, keenly discovered something wrong.

The main source of mackerel should be close to Northern Europe, but there are five countries there.

"Because in Academy City or Neon in general, the most popular thing is Atlantic mackerel, and Atlantic mackerel is also called Norwegian mackerel."

Saten-san added.

What she just gave to this foreign senior student wearing a beret was a can of common Atlantic mackerel.

4Chapter 16 Dinner

If the mackerel on the other side of the ocean wags its tail, the price of canned food in Academy City risks rising or falling.

When Academy City's popular show broadcasts beauty recipes, a blond girl from a distant land cannot buy canned mackerel.

The blond-haired and blue-eyed Severen senior from Norway glanced back and forth at the two people across from her with a scrutinizing gaze, feeling a little dazed in her heart.

I didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary girl could have such keen intelligence-gathering abilities.It's really an unexpected talent to be able to deduce his approximate origin just by relying on the place of origin of a few cans.

As for a certain superpower who suddenly became enlightened, Senior Sister Severen felt that she had lowered her expectations several times. She felt that the other person was just the kind of person who made up the numbers and was strictly speaking the most suitable person to be a tool.

Has the top level of Academy City's superpowers fallen to this level?

"That's it."

Holding her chin in one hand, Flanda was a little unsure about the conclusion that her hometown was Norway through canned mackerel.

Although Norway is adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean and is a place frequented by schools of mackerel, because Sweden is actually closely adjacent to Norway, there is no obvious obstacle to the flow of mackerel, and it cannot be used as conclusive evidence at all.

However, the chance of guessing right is only about one in two. Flanda is obviously very cooperative with her new friend.

It doesn't matter whether it's Norway, Sweden, or Denmark, which has a similar language to both. In fact, everything about my hometown is unimportant.

After arriving in Academy City, unless this Severon-senpai took the initiative to risk being purged by the Overarching Council, it would be difficult for her to leave here.

Even those with super powers may not be able to escape the city's sphere of influence under the constant pressure of purging and recovering troops.

Therefore, for Frenda, the idea of ​​returning to her hometown was unrealistic, and she could only rely on the smell of canned mackerel to recall that place.

“When I talk about mackerel, I end up getting a little hungry.”

"As long as I don't eat mackerel for a long time, I will have severe heart palpitations, trembling hands and feet, and even hallucinations. Although one of my senior students said this is a mental illness, I feel that mackerel is the only thing I can't live up to."

Raising the canned mackerel in her hand high, Flanda did not clearly answer Saten-san's guess. Instead, she looked at the canned mackerel in her hand expectantly.

The affection for her hometown gradually evolved into a heartfelt love for a certain kind of food. To a certain extent, she is really a very simple girl.

This can that I got from Saten Ruiko has not yet been harmed by her unique can opening technique, so the tragic fate of the can being blown into two halves has not happened.

Under the sight of a certain famous superpower, after ensuring that she was basically safe, the ANBU girl finally relaxed a little and prepared to throw the ice cream aside and taste the trophy she had worked so hard to obtain.

It's a pity that I only have such a can in my hand and cannot achieve my intended goal.However, before this body collapses due to hallucinations due to lack of mackerel, it is enough that Academy City can restore its normal supply of mackerel.

Judging from the current scope of the popular program, it should be out of stock in the past few days.

"If it's mackerel, I've got a few cans over there."

Recalling something, Natsume-san felt the almost fanatical attitude of the girl in front of him towards canned mackerel, and said subconsciously.

"really?"

Flanda stood up suddenly and held the girl who was only slightly shorter than herself with one hand. The eagerness in her eyes could not be concealed.

Before his Anbu identity was exposed, there would be no problem in normal communication with No. [-].And if Mugino and the others find out, it might trigger a not-so-nice round of accountability.

But compared with canned mackerel, the small risk is nothing to mention.

At the most, his identity was exposed and he was escorted to the guard building by the eighth person in front of him. He then pulled on his green armband and said something like a disciplinary committee member, looking down at him with condescending eyes.

Looking at it this way, when facing the eighth position, my safety factor is still quite high. At least there is no danger to my life, which is much safer than most ANBU activities.

These Tokiwadai hothouse ladies may have never even killed small animals, let alone human beings. The law of the jungle of the jungle of the weak and the strong does not exist for them.

The word "greenhouse" is completely deserved, and this has nothing to do with strength.

"of course it's true."

"There used to be a black cat near the dormitory, and I always fed it canned mackerel. But then it was adopted by a friend, so the cans at the bottom of the box were completely useless."

Nodding seriously, Natsume-san was deeply impressed by the black cat that always bothered her at night.

But after all, she was not the kind of person who dared to blatantly violate school rules, or who was patient enough to take care of small animals, so she got nothing in the end.

And she was not the kind of person who was keen on eating fish, so some cans she bought at special prices were packed in the box.

Just the thought of spitting out the spines while eating fish dampened her enthusiasm.But if all the fish bones are picked out, then the situation is different. Obviously the canned supplier did not take into account the opinions of Natsume-san, a picky guy.

"I actually fed canned mackerel to the cat..."

"Even a guy with dozens of dangerous stars cannot be forgiven."

She couldn't help but look dazed, Flanda couldn't help mumbling to herself, and when she looked at a certain temperature control, she suddenly became more dissatisfied.

If she couldn't defeat the seemingly non-threatening girl, she would definitely make the other party apologize to the canned mackerel industry until the other party could appreciate the charm of mackerel.

However, considering that the opponent's fist was a bit big and the complicated Tokiwadai forces were involved behind it, Frenda had to calm down.

"Do not want?"

Natsume Sonoko asked with some concern. She is the kind of person who likes to give gifts to friends.

Even if she meets someone for the first time, she will try to give them a little gift.

Of course, this seems to be limited to girls of about the same age. When she first met senior Kamijou Touma and senior Loli Komoe teacher, she didn't have such a good habit.

"want!"

Putting aside her previous thoughts in an instant, Senior Sister Severen nodded vigorously.

Forget it, as long as you have canned mackerel, you don't have to worry about any minor problems.

"Since we have extra cans, we can make a few more beauty recipes. Natsume-san and Severen-senpai, please come together."

“Not just curry mackerel, but soy sauce mackerel, steamed mackerel, and braised mackerel are all good.”

Suddenly thinking of something, Saten Ruiko said excitedly.

Great, now that Natsume-san has a surplus of canned mackerel reserves, Kuoko Sosou’s beauty dishes can evolve into a rich mackerel dinner.

Speaking of which, Saten Ruiko also has enough confidence in her cooking skills.

Unlike a certain meatball head who records heat and recipes, and cooks in formulas, Saten Ruiko's cooking skills have been developed after a long period of training and living alone in a self-sufficient dormitory.

4Chapter 16 half ask

For humans, the most important thing is energy intake.

Natsume-san, who worked hard to implement this point, finally left Saten-san's dormitory, having finally solved part of the canned inventory problem.

Including the part he stuffed into the Disciplinary Committee branch, the storage space in the dormitory finally returned to normal levels.

It has to be said that as long as there is food, Natsume-san will accept everyone who comes.Unless it really doesn't suit your taste, indirect factors like weight are basically not considered.

Speaking of which, Natsume-san has become a little thinner now.

The cheeks that originally had some flesh gradually became thinner, and the bones could almost be touched directly.

Coupled with her short stature, she looked a little malnourished. Not long ago, Index said that something was not right about her condition.

Natsume-san cannot notice this small change, but it is somewhat conspicuous in the eyes of others.

"Have you really lost weight? I don't think there has been any change."

The steps stopped, and Natsume-san stood blankly in front of the shop window on the street, looking at each other with the person inside the glass.

Just now, Saten-san once again mentioned whether he was losing weight. A certain ball head who never considered such a thing naturally rejected it outright.

But the more you eat, the thinner you become, it actually happens.

"Is it because of ability development?"

For a moment, Natsume-san thought of her own situation.

She uses her brain almost all the time, which results in her brain being in a state of development.

Even when he fell asleep at night, part of his thoughts were still maintaining the aim force field network with Zero, and even unconsciously maintaining the thermostatic layer on the body surface and part of the radar system used for early warning.

Under this high-intensity development, her computing power is also increasing in an orderly manner, and until now she has not been able to touch the so-called period of stagnation of abilities.

Even among the group of superpowers, there are many people whose abilities have stagnated. To be precise, my own Shokuhou-senpai is also in this state.

It's just that Shokuhou-senpai couldn't control her own abilities because the upper limit she reached at the beginning was too high. Now she must focus on refining branches and improving accuracy.

As for how far it can be developed in the future, the external substitute brain cut out from Shokuhou-senpai's brain probably illustrates the problem, but it is definitely still far from the level of an absolute ability user.

Having said that, the rumor that people with abilities will consume fat violently when they overuse their brains seems to be proven by her.

People with abilities consume much more energy to maintain their brains than ordinary people. This is one of the reasons why Tokiwadai Middle School's school rules prohibit weight loss.

As the level of the ability user increases, this energy consumption naturally becomes more intense.

But compared to a certain fat man who often uses his brain for mental control, this reason seems to be somewhat untenable, and the energy consumption at the level of a superpower seems not to be much.

"Then I must not have eaten enough."

"Yes, I am currently in the period of physical development. It is the time to supplement my nutrition properly. I will ask Shokuhou-senpai for advice some other time."

Thinking of this, Natsume-san felt relaxed.

4Chapter Losing patience after 16

The subtle changes in her body were worrying, but an overly optimistic girl didn't care.

In her inherent concept, she rarely devotes extra energy to unimportant things, and will even deliberately avoid some troublesome but avoidable problems.

I don’t know how this concept was developed. Anyway, Natsume-san is somewhat at ease living this kind of life.This also caused her inner true will to be often affected by this kind of self, until the uneasiness in her heart kept her from sleeping.

But what makes Natsume-san unable to sleep is probably that the environment she relies on for survival is destroyed or simply affected by what happened to her friends.

"Speaking of which, that Severon senior is too exaggerated."

"You can actually eat mackerel dishes until you cry, and you still have that moved expression on your face. It seems like you and Saten-san really get along well."

She raised her eyebrows. Miss Meathead, who was good at finding and spreading gossip news, thought of something, and there was a more thoughtful expression on her face.

Although I apologize for casually commenting on Saten-san's work, it may be that Natsume-san is used to the exquisite lunches prepared by the maid lady, and also has no great interest in mackerel, so she thought it was just an ordinary meal.

But the more this happens, the more people care about the exaggerated behavior of the senior. It seems that Senior Severon really loves her hometown.

The lights in Tokiwadai's dormitory were brightly lit, and a girl was sitting quietly at the desk.

The open notes were filled with incomprehensible Martian script, and a bank card with insufficient balance was placed randomly on the corner of the table, as if it was telling something sad.

By the way, there is also an Indian poker card held by Natsume Sonoko.

I've been hearing a lot of news about Indian Poker lately, both good and bad.

After returning to the dormitory in the evening, I asked Shirai-san about the status of the afternoon attack case, which almost confirmed Saten-san's rumors.

And it seems that there is not only one similar case, but it has turned into a high-incidence state.

According to a disciplinary committee member who happened to have passed by the site where the case occurred more than a dozen times, Indian Poker seemed to have finally attracted the attention of the Seventh School District's security system.

It is not yet known what measures the guards will take against Indian Poker, but it is simply impossible to solve the spread of Indian Poker with one or two school district guard branches.

To solve the problem of the circulation of such products, only the order of the governing council is most effective.

Having said that, this card seems to really have the ability to interfere with other people's thoughts.

It can encourage weak-willed users to act, and can even give people the courage to violate Academy City's rules.

Thinking of this, a girl with curiosity blinked and studied this card again.

But it was still the same as before, she couldn't find the abnormality inside, and the sentence that there was a specialization in the art was also true for people with abilities.

Even when she turned her thoughts to the aim phase perspective, she couldn't find any useful information.

"According to Shokuhou-senpai, the Indian Poker is probably used to develop abilities, but no trace of the force field can be found."

Wei Wei is a little puzzled, and Natsume-san has exhausted her patience again.
