Academy City Temperature Control

If nothing else goes wrong, the first batch of cell adjustments will begin soon, and Natsume Sonoko needs to tell the Misaka sisters this news.

...

It was the morning of the next day when Tokiwadai was born in Tuliao.

The weather today is a bit bad. There are dark clouds outside the window. According to the weather forecast, there seems to be widespread rainfall today.

In the corridor of the student dormitory, all the Tokiwadai students who were about to go out were carrying umbrellas or rain gear, except for a certain maverick guy.

Since he was carrying too many things in his hands and even some things hanging around his neck, a certain ball head resolutely gave up the idea of ​​carrying an umbrella with him.

When she came back from Misaka's apartment yesterday, Natsume Sonoko also brought back some staple food from Misaka's sister, such as noodles, steamed buns and the like, which caused her weight to increase again.

At the same time, there was a medium-sized barbecue grill hanging around Natsume-san’s neck.

Someone seemed a little dissatisfied with the hot pot party, so he immediately took out the barbecue grill he had hidden in the box, and brought various seasonings with him.

However, Natsume Sonoko does not have the fuel needed to use the barbecue grill, such as charcoal or the like. Fortunately, someone's ability can make up for this extremely well.

In this way, in this event, which was actually called a book club, a certain participant brought everything but no book.

After walking out of the gate, Natsume Sonoko happily rushed to the student dormitory of Sagawa Middle School.

The gathering place for the hot pot party this time is Saten's dormitory. Looking at the time, everyone is still buying their own ingredients to prepare hot pot.

Originally, I was going to meet Misaka-senpai and the others at the family restaurant they often go to, but since Natsume Sonoko had prepared the food in advance, I had to go alone first.

Thinking about it this way, Natsume-san who bought the things in advance should be the first to arrive.

Not long after leaving the student dormitory, Natsume Sonoko's figure and bags disappeared, her whole person was hidden in the light, and she also stopped a cleaning robot.

Because she carried too many things with her, Natsume Sonoko couldn't sit as usual and could only stand on the white cylinder.

Chapter 166: Open the door, home delivery

Feng Xu flies in the wind, fluttering like a fairy.

The disposable plastic bags on hand were flying lightly, and even the barbecue grill around his neck was shaking due to the high-speed movement of the robot.

The white cylindrical roller under his feet made a constant creaking sound, as if he was under pressure that should not be endured at this age.

With calm eyes and dull expression, Natsume Sonoko is like a king patrolling his territory, crossing the streets and alleys to patrol his territory in a time and space invisible to others.

"Is anyone home? This is home delivery."

Knocking gently on the door of Saten-san's dormitory, Natsume Sonoko coughed deliberately and said, with an imperceptible smile flashing across her face.

"It's coming, it's coming. Strange, I remember not ordering home delivery."

Saten-san's voice came immediately from behind the door, muttering something.

"Excuse me, is it possible that your home delivery service sent you to the wrong address? This is Building [-], not Building [-], of the dormitory for students of Zhachuan Middle School."

Opening the door, Saten-san stuck his head out and said with some suspicion.

"That's right, that's wrong, it's Saten-san's dormitory."

"Ah, it turns out to be Natsume-san." Saten-san pouted slightly, opened the door and put his hands on his hips.

"What a tragedy, Natsume-san, you came too early, and my dormitory has not been packed yet."

Saten-san suddenly remembered something, a trace of panic flashed across his face, and he spoke hurriedly.

"It's okay, I can come along and help."

Nodding vigorously, Natsume's eyes became bright and clear, as if she couldn't wait to start the hot pot party.

Saten-san's dormitory is not big, but it has the feeling of being small but well-equipped. The bedrooms, kitchen, and bathrooms are all complete, and there is a not-so-narrow corridor in the middle.

There is a three-layer shoe cabinet at the entrance, and looking from the shoe cabinet toward the bedroom, a built-in large wardrobe is very eye-catching.

At this time, the large wardrobe has not been closed, and you can see the dazzling variety of clothes inside. Several sets of regular clothes have not been packed away and are piled on the nearby bed.

"Sorry, as I said just now, there is still some chaos in the dormitory."

Saten-san rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment and closed the door to the dormitory.

"Natsume-san, please sit down for a while. I'm going to borrow a ceramic casserole for hot pot from a friend later, so I won't be able to entertain you for the time being."

Saten-san said apologetically that although he got up very early today as usual, the preparations for the book club unexpectedly took some time.

Saten-san said as he sorted out his clothes, folded them neatly and put them in the closet.

After everything was tidied up and even the dust in the corner was swept away, Saten-san found an induction cooker from somewhere and placed it on a low table in the bedroom.

"Dang--dang--, this is the hot pot tool I specially prepared. It's pretty good."

Saten-san said with a smile that although it is just an ordinary induction cooker, it can achieve ultra-fast cooking speed of boiling hot water in 40 seconds.

"But I've been paying more attention to it since just now. The thing Natsume-san was hanging around his neck before was probably a barbecue grill."

As if she was a little confused about what Natsume-san had brought, Saten Ruiko squatted slightly and looked at the pile of things that a certain ball had placed on the ground.

"Yes, wouldn't it be very interesting to have hot pot and barbecue at the same time? It's like summer camp."

Natsume Sonoko nodded and said, the expression on her face immediately became proud.

"I see, you are indeed Natsume-san."

Saten-san opened his mouth slightly, thought for a moment, and then nodded in agreement.

In many ways, Saten-san and Natsume Sonoko seem to have something in common.

"But Natsume-san, you should buy a gas grill or electric grill. Charcoal grills are not suitable indoors." Saten-san seemed to have thought of something and said with some worry.

"Don't worry, my barbecue grill is guaranteed to be new energy and green and pollution-free." Natsume Sonoko assured.

Someone was lying on Saten-san's bed, and Saten-san had already set off to borrow a casserole.

Natsume-san was a little uncomfortable with the rather hard bed, and it felt like she was back in the long-lost time sleeping on the floor at Uncle Mouri Kogoro's house.

"Time flies so slowly, when can the hot pot party start?"

Natsume Sonoko was a little bored, her face was slightly slumped, and she was looking out blankly through the glass of the window.

There are too many worrying things recently, such as the start of school and so on. Under such circumstances, it would be best to have an event like a hot pot party.

Moreover, after being targeted by a mad scientist for some inexplicable reasons, Natsume Sonoko's daily travel has also been greatly affected, at least she will not let herself be exposed to the public at will.

In order to prevent more troubles, Natsume Sonoko has temporarily decided to become a Tokiwadai ghost wandering the streets, just like the rumors on the Internet, until she becomes lv5.

Don't let me know which bad guys are targeting me, otherwise I will make them look good sooner or later, Natsume Sonoko was thinking something angrily in her heart.

While Natsume-san was waiting anxiously, a confrontation about level 5 had just happened in a certain unlucky family restaurant, and there was even a hint of anxiety in the air.

"You know clearly that onee-sama is Tokiwadai's railgun, but you still dare to say such things?"

"Our Mugino's actual combat experience is not comparable to that of a little girl. In the end, we Mugino will definitely win."

"..."

"Although onee-sama's underwear is a cute mascot, even the daily necessities are childishly tasteful, and she queues up to buy frog toys every month, her strength can not be overstated even if she is called Tokiwadai's ace."

"Mugino is the same, even though he secretly wears underwear..."

"How can that kind of washboard be compared with Mugino? Let's give it a few more years to develop. Mugino's figure is super good."

"It's too vulgar to only focus on body shape. Considering the future development, onee-sama is the undoubted number one."

The situation seemed to be getting out of hand. The two lv5 supporters refused to give in to each other, and the topic continued to escalate. In the end, it even reached the point where they were tampering with their respective lv5 companions.

Two somewhat embarrassed lv5s rushed out of the restaurant door, looked at each other fiercely, and then looked away for a moment, with an indescribable tacit understanding.

The two lv5s didn't seem to want to stay in this family restaurant any longer. They each held a guy who had stopped eating and his whole body had turned into black and white, and left in their respective directions without stopping.

"Frenda, there will be no next time. I will never dare to go to that store again."

"Heizi, you are really infuriating, accept the punishment."

After the two parties moved away, the restaurant staff finally poked their heads out, and their initially frightened expressions finally relaxed a little.

The clouds were thick, but the rain had not fallen yet. As time passed slowly, the temperature of the day reached its highest point again.

It was almost noon, the time originally agreed upon.

"excuse me."

Misaka-senpai's voice, accompanied by a knock on the door, brought Natsume-san, who was lying in bed in a daze, back to his senses.

Opening the dormitory door, Natsume Sonoko saw Misaka-senpai with a smile on her face, and Shirai-san who looked very embarrassed with wounds all over his body.

"Saten-kun went outside to borrow something. Check the time. She should be back soon."

Natsume Sonoko said absently, her eyes unconsciously focused on Shirai-san.

"Did Shirai-san just come back from a mission? Why are your whole body covered with injuries?"

Natsume Sonoko asked with concern, but Shirai-san seemed to be on rotation today, and only Uiharu was on duty in the 177th branch of the Discipline Committee.

"I'm fine, please don't mind."

Shirai-san forced a ladylike smile on his face and shook his head, not wanting to mention his injury.

On the contrary, Misaka-senpai's expression on the side was a little strange, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, holding back the strong emotions that were about to burst out from her heart.

"Ok."

Natsume Sonoko looked at Misaka-senpai and the two of them strangely, and she almost knew what was going on.

Shirai-san can always make Misaka-senpai so angry, which must be said to be a very powerful talent.

"I am back."

At this time, the figure of Saten-san appeared at the gate, holding a ceramic casserole the size of a basin in his hand.

Chapter 167 The generous Misaka-senpai

In Saten-san's dormitory, the members participating in the reading club are already in place.

On one side is the Sagawa Middle School team represented by Saten-san, and on the other side is the Tokiwadai group headed by Misaka Mikoto.

The two parties looked at each other around a rectangular low table. Due to the large number of people, everyone was leaning together, filling the surrounding space.

"Sorry, we were just late."

Harukami, who was the last one to arrive, said a little embarrassedly. Next to her was Eda Senri, who was wearing regular clothes and had been moved out of the hospital.

"It's okay, Haru Shang, you guys came just in time." Hatsuharu classmate shook his head and said.

"Everyone is here, so let's officially start the hot pot party this time. Great, we are the only ones having a hot pot party in the hot summer."

Sitting opposite the bedroom door, a certain electromagnetic gun stood up slightly and took the initiative to put the casserole on the induction cooker.

"Has it started yet? Hotpot parties are the best."

Natsume Sonoko was shocked, took out the kettle that had been prepared from behind, and poured the water into the casserole, almost filling one third of the casserole.

"Enough, enough, otherwise the taste of the hot pot soup will become bland."

Saten-san hurriedly stopped Natsume Sonoko, and in the blink of an eye, the water covered half of the casserole.

"Although I don't know what you think, first of all, let me state that today is not a hot pot party. This event is always a book club."

Sighing slightly, Shirai-san looked at the two people beside him helplessly.

Compared with the hot pot party, the book club to complete holiday homework is the focus of this time. It was obviously a formal event when it was proposed.

Shirai-san took out a notebook and two classics from the school bag he carried with him, and piled them on the table.

The bulk of the holiday homework is some reading notes on designated books.

Tokiwadai's requirements are higher than those of ordinary schools, but the only difference from other schools is that there are more designated books. This is the main reason why this event is called a reading club.

"Shirai-san, the current atmosphere is not suitable for studying. You should have a big meal at noon. Put aside your reading notes and so on. Now is the time for the hot pot party."

Saten-san came up behind Shirai-san and confiscated Shirai-san's notebook in a serious manner, which attracted the attention of two hot pot party supporters.

The earthenware casserole was heated by the induction cooker. The boiling hot soup kept rolling and bursts of steam came out. Only then did Saten put the hot pot base ingredients in.

It didn't take long for the soup to become hot and dyed a festive light red color, and a light spicy taste invaded the nasal cavity.

"Today's soup is slightly spicy, a little pungent, so Kizuri and Harunami will be fine."

Saten-san turned his head slightly and looked at the two of them.
