Academy City Temperature Control

Just as Saten-san ran to check out, Natsume-san heard a sound similar to a heavy object slamming onto the table, which seemed to be mixed with some exclamations from the crowd.

Looking back, I realized that Uiharu-san had already hurried over to check on the situation.

He is really a hard-working and responsible disciplinary committee member. He is much more diligent than... many people.

Although she didn't know what happened, Natsume Sonoko still followed to see the situation. Shirai-san was not around, and Uiharu would be in trouble if she was in danger.

"Please cheer up." Uiharu's anxious voice reached Natsume Sonoko's ears.

Natsume Sonoko came to a corner of the Sukiyaki shop, and in a blink of an eye she saw a man dressed a little strangely.

Her head hit the table. The one with quite long hair must be a girl.

Food poisoning?Natsume Sonoko suddenly became a little nervous. Could it be that there was something wrong with the food in this store? Something was wrong. She needed to contact the ghost-hunting doctor immediately.

When someone was thinking wildly, the girl in strange clothes made a difficult sound.

"It doesn't matter, I just ate...to fullness."

After hearing this girl's words, Uiharu-san was obviously relieved. But how much can he eat before he collapses on his seat?

After silently looking at the pile of plates next to this girl, Natsume Sonoko suddenly realized that it was really amazing and left people speechless.

Uiharu's classmate patted the girl's back, trying to help her relieve the pain.

"Each plate looks like a little bit of meat, so I bought a lot of plates."

The girl's voice was very calm, like boiled water. She raised her head slightly and glanced this way, and then continued to lie down on the seat.

"Actually, you can return it if you don't finish it."

Uiharu said cautiously. After hearing this, the girl's figure visibly stiffened for a while.

At this time, Natsume Sonoko also saw clearly that the girl was wearing a rare miko uniform and she looked about sixteen or seventeen years old.

The look in her eyes reminded Natsume Sonoko of Mr. Kiyama. Her bleary eyes looked like she hadn't slept well, and with her expressionless look on her face, she already had the potential of a three-no girl.

"Since it's okay, we won't bother you."

Taking Uiharu's classmate, Natsume Sonoko said.

There are all kinds of weirdos in Academy City, so it's just a trivial matter to overstuff yourself.

"Natsume-san, is it okay to leave her alone?" Uiharu-san said, still a little worried.

"What could possibly happen? Uiharu-san, you are too sensitive." Natsume Sonoko looked at Uiharu-san and said with a headache.

"Saten-kun, we are here."

Outside the store, I found Ruiko Saten who had finished paying, and Uiharu-san waved her hand.

"Where did you go? I'm a little worried." Saten Ruiko put her hands on her hips a little angrily.

"Help take care of the overfed miko." Natsume Sonoko said honestly.

"Miko? It must be cosplay or something." Saten Ruiko nodded and added something.

"By the way, what are you holding in your hand?" Uiharu-san said, pointing to some notes in Saten-san's hand.

"Oh, these are discount coupons. They can be used in many nearby stores. The boss gave them to me when I checked out."

Natsume Sonoko took the discount coupon and looked at it. It was a joint discount coupon for this sukiyaki restaurant, several burger restaurants, fried chicken restaurants, and sushi restaurants. Each store had designated discount products.

"There are thirty in total, exactly ten for each person." Saten said with a smile.

[Since the attack by tree men in the Sixth School District, many attacks have also begun to occur in the Third School District and No. 18 School District. Moreover, after these tree men were destroyed, they immediately lost water and quickly withered, turning into dead branches and leaves. 】

[The tree man incident was a suspected case of a person with abilities, and thirteen trees over 20 years old were destroyed]

【...】

Not having visited this urban legend website in the past few days, Natsume Sonoko felt like she was out of touch with the trend of the times.

In the forum within the website, many familiar posts have disappeared, and some new events have begun to surface, occupying people's attention.

Chapter 69 Compression Device

It was another ordinary morning in the student dormitory in Tokiwadai. Natsume Sonoko woke up early and couldn't sleep, closed the web page and put her mobile phone into her schoolbag.

I washed up and dressed up in the bathroom, and meticulously combed my buns. I didn't look tired at all. It seemed that I had fully adapted to the daily life of Tokiwadai. It was better than when I first entered school, when I always didn't get enough sleep. a lot of.

Opening the curtains, Natsume Sonoko looked out the window. Only half of the sun's outline was revealed, releasing a faint glow.

Is this the sun at five o'clock in Tokiwadai Seto's House?

A few days ago, I said that I would work hard to exercise and change my current weak physical condition.

As the saying goes, everything is always difficult at the beginning. Although I couldn't think of my grand ambitions yesterday and the day before yesterday, I must make a good start today.

Silently cheering herself up, Natsume Sonoko resolutely walked out of the door of 210. At this time, the corridor was still quiet, and the doors of the other dormitories were still tightly closed.

Closing the door softly, trying not to make any noise, Natsume Sonoko quickly arrived downstairs.

But unexpectedly, I met the dormitory master at a corner.

However, the dormitory master at this time was very different from his usual majestic appearance. His hair was still a little messy, he was only wearing casual clothes, and he had not yet entered working condition.

She was still holding a freshly laundered women's suit in her hand, and her whole person was both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time.

"Natsume-san, what are you doing standing there sneaking around?"

Even the dormitory master who had just woken up was keenly aware of the strangeness around him, and his sharp eyes were like a knife cutting into Natsume's dull face.

"Good morning, Housemaster."

Natsume Sonoko showed an awkward smile, maintaining a [-]% sense of awe for all dormitory masters. Her whole body suddenly became a little tense and fell into an unpredictable state of stiffness.

"Actually, I was just passing by here and was planning to go out for morning exercise. Sir, the weather outside is really nice today."

Natsume-san said in as calm a tone as possible, and tried to do a few exercise poses.

Being able to chat with the dormitory master smoothly is a great thing in itself.

"Natsume-san, I don't object to you going to exercise, but it's not yet time for the dormitory to open, so you should do your morning exercises in the hall first."

The dormitory master glanced at Natsume in surprise, pushed up his glasses slightly, and narrowed his eyes as if to examine.

"By the way, if you don't do morning exercises, just go back to the dormitory and sleep."

The memory of the familiar voice of the warden made someone suddenly feel embarrassed.

Under the gaze of the dormitory master, Natsume Sonoko bravely ran to the hall, and then performed a set of warm-up exercises in a decent manner.

I have made up my mind, so I have to work hard.

"It really looks good." The dormitory master looked at it for a while, then left holding the lady's suit.

The door to the dormitory finally opened on time. Facing the six o'clock sun, Natsume Sonoko felt a little like doing morning exercises. Before, she was just doing indoor gymnastics.

"Remember to come back on time for breakfast, take a shower and change clothes before going to school, and don't get dirty." Before Natsume Sonoko had gone far, the dormitory master's voice came from behind Natsume Sonoko.

"understood."

"I've finished the warm-up exercises, and now it's time for jogging." Natsume Sonoko recalled the exercise plan she had made. In fact, it consisted of gymnastics and running, and at most she just followed some self-defense techniques she learned online.

In fact, it doesn't matter if he has the ability to learn self-defense or not, but because of the influence of Shirai-san, someone has become very interested in fighting and the like. He even found a fake secret book on a street stall before.

Not long after leaving the Tokiwadai dormitory, even though she had only run a few hundred meters, Natsume-san was already so tired that she could only rest in a waiting seat at the bus stop.

Tokiwadai's school uniforms are actually not suitable for sports, but the school has regulations that students must wear them regardless of holidays or going to and from school. As for Tokiwadai gymnastics uniforms that are suitable for sports, they can only be worn in school.

Therefore, Natsume Sonoko will now imitate Misaka-senpai and wear safety pants whenever she exercises out of the ordinary.

The sweat on my face keeps falling on my school uniform, and my body is also sweaty. The wet feeling makes people very uncomfortable.

After recovering a little strength, Natsume continued to stand up. After all, she was also someone who could run two kilometers in physical education class.

But as the movement continued, the nostalgia for school uniforms became more and more intense. I was really unhappy, and someone had already thought of writing a letter to the school council.

After persisting for about half an hour, the speed had already changed from jogging to walking. Only then did someone appear at the door of Shengtu's dormitory, panting.

Natsume Sonoko was obviously a little depressed in the restaurant of Tokiwadai Seto's House.

"What? Natsume, you went to do your morning exercise! You won't be dropped, will you?"

Shirai-san dropped the baguette in his hand and looked at Natsume Sonoko with an incredulous look.

This feeling is like a classmate who always sleeps in class on weekdays. Not only did he not sleep today, but he also actively raised his hand to answer questions.

"Heizi! No matter who you are, there will be times when you want to work hard to change yourself. Don't speak in such a strange tone."

Misaka-senpai patted Natsume Sonoko on the shoulder and said encouragingly, while also looking at Shirai-san on the side with some annoyance.

"When I encountered a bottleneck before, I would use up all my computing power every day just to get closer to that goal. After all, I am the kind of person who sees that the goal is there and will never give up until I achieve it." Misaka-senpai said seriously, seeming to think of those years when she was reaching level 5.

"Actually, I just do it to exercise."

"Misaka-senpai, how is your investigation going? It's about the recent very popular tree attack case." Natsume Sonoko asked curiously after finishing the sandwich in her hand.

"The culprit has been caught, but the superiors asked us not to continue the investigation. They said that it would be handed over to a specialized person." Sighing, Shirai said with some reluctance.

"The prisoner used a device that could sense the biological force field of trees of a certain age, and compressed that force field into a special crystal. Although the value of this crystal is unknown, there are already people on the black market. Start acquiring at extremely high prices.”

"As for the tree attack itself, it was the result of the criminals using nanorobots to cover up the dehydration and death of the trees after the crystals were taken out. The purpose was to allow the security guards to destroy the trees." Shirai-san was a little depressed. said.

"A device that can sense and compress biological force fields? What if the target is a human being?" Natsume Sonoko sounded a little hairy. It is really too dangerous to capture biological force fields.

"Humans are much more complex than plants, and the device is not captured but compressed. If it is not taken out for a period of time, it will return to its original state." Shirai-san explained.

"But what is the use of someone designing such a thing? Is it just to investigate the information of a tree?" Misaka-senpai frowned and thought, and she didn't have any good ideas for a while.

"Onee-sama, do you still remember the monster that was formed from the fantasy hand?"

"The monster has a core that fixes the aim diffusion field. When the core is shattered by atomic collapse, the monster is completely annihilated. If in the original design of this device, the life force field is just a by-product, the main purpose is to compress the aim diffusion As for the force field, can we get a similar core?"

"And the prisoner just doesn't know where he obtained the device or even one of its components."

Shirai Kuroko's mind was very bright, and in the blink of an eye he thought of a possibility that looked very strange.

"How is this possible?" Misaka-senpai was a little surprised, but it did seem possible.

"And based on the unclear attitude of the superiors, this device obviously has an inexplicable relationship with the superiors." Shirai-san said affirmatively.

Chapter 70 Shokuhou Misaki-senpai’s gift

The heated discussion between Misaka-senpai and Shirai-san could be heard in her ears. Natsume Sonoko listened quietly and her thoughts were a little wandering.

"The holiday will be in two weeks. What are everyone's plans during the holiday?" Misaka-senpai finally no longer focused on that incident, but was very interested in talking about it. After the holiday.

Students in Academy City usually have three vacations, namely spring vacation, summer vacation and winter vacation, with some small vacations mixed in between.

The specific times of these holidays are different from those in Neon Country outside, and the start of school and make-up classes also vary depending on the schools in Academy City.

It was now the end of summer, and the holidays would soon come. Including exams and tutoring, it would take nearly a month.

Although Tokiwadai Middle School has arranged the examination time in the first few days of the holiday, the only comfort is that there is basically no such thing as tutoring in our school, and it will not take up more of students' holiday time.

"Based on this, it's indeed time for the holidays." Natsume Sonoko nodded in agreement.

It is very different from when I was in school in my previous life. Holidays in Academy City always come and go very quickly.

Spring break may be longer, but other holidays are only about 20 days at most, and the holidays also exclude things like exam cramming, which makes it even shorter.

"When it comes to holidays, I will be even busier. On weekdays, I only have to work for a few hours after class, but during holidays, I have to work all day." Shirai-san sighed and said, maybe this is the fate of the disciplinary committee member.

"If possible, I would choose to go home." Natsume Sonoko frowned and said in thought. Calculating carefully, it was three years ago since the last time she left Academy City to go home.

"Hey, but will the academy approve it?" Misaka-senpai said with a hint of uncertainty in her tone.

"As far as I know, if you want to get permission to leave Academy City, you not only need to apply to the school, the security guard, and the council at the same time, but you also need to implant a traceable transmitter in your body." Shirai-san thought for a moment, and then Explain the necessary conditions in detail.

"Almost, but what Shirai-san said is not complete. In fact, a guarantor is needed." Natsume Sonoko added to Shirai-san's content.

"Sounds troublesome. Has Natsume Sonoko ever gone out before?" Misaka-senpai asked curiously. Since entering Academy City until now, Misaka-senpai has not gone out once.

"There was one time three years ago, but the applications in the previous two years were rejected. In fact, I don't have much confidence that I can pass this year." Natsume Sonoko said looking a little discouraged. Filling out the application form is easy, but the difficulty is the above. The so-called big shot on the council.
