A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 186 Flanda's Meeting Gift

"Don't worry," Takitsubo Rihou seemed to see Kinuhata's concerns and comforted her, "It's our tradition at 'Douyi' to change clothes for newlyweds. You don't have to spend any money on this shopping, so feel free to choose boldly, otherwise..."

"No, no, no, newcomers don't have the right to choose for themselves!" Frenda said quickly, "In the end, it's still up to the people who pay for it. Takitsubo, you can't favor newcomers. You know, when I first joined, I went through your 'sportswear hell'!"

Kinuhata probably also heard that this shopping trip should be paid by Flanda. Although it is not clear why she is so happy to spend money, one thing is certain - his first good set of clothes will probably depend on the girl's opinion.

Kinuhata was a little uneasy, but looking at Flanda's outfit, she seemed very fashionable and cute, so she thought her taste was pretty good.

"Oh, by the way, this is for you." Franda took out a furry doll from somewhere and handed it to Kinuhata's favorite.

"Huh?" Although she was a little confused, Juanqi Zuiai quickly reached out to take it, "Thank you!"

——Come to think of it, this is the first time someone gave me a toy since I entered the research institute.

Kinuhata was a little touched and held the doll in her arms with great care. Although the doll's shape was a little strange, between cute and scary, making it difficult to evaluate, since it was a gift given to her with kindness, there was no need to be picky.

"This is a doll I made myself. I hope you can use it well." said Franda.

"Yes, I will cherish it very much..." Kinuhata's favorite nodded quickly, then noticed something strange in the girl's words, "Huh? To use it?"

"Yes, make good use of it." Flanda nodded.

Kinuhata Sukai was confused, so she turned her gaze to Takitsubo Rikou.

But he saw Takitsubo Riko quietly retreating, and had already put a subtle distance between them.

"Please be careful, it's a bomb." said Takitsubo Rikou.

"Huh?" Juanqi Zuiai was stunned.

"Yes," Takitsubo Rikou said seriously, "a bomb."

After the previous contact, Kinuhata Sukai also knew that Takitsubo Rikou was a serious person and didn't seem like the type to play pranks, so she probably wouldn't joke at a time like this.

—Well, it's not surprising. After all, they're an ANBU organization, so giving a bomb as a gift is normal, right? No, it's still super weird, isn't it? Is this girl really okay? Why would she give me a bomb?
Out of basic courtesy and vigilance, Kinuhata Zuiai did not throw the doll away rashly, but immediately wrapped it in a thick layer of nitrogen armor.

Looking forward to it.

"Ah, don't be so nervous. Trust my skills," Franda said confidently. "I've hidden a non-lethal bomb inside. It won't pose a life-threatening risk."

"No, this explanation is already extremely bad, isn't it?"

"There's a booming bomb inside the doll. Its characteristic is that it can make a loud noise, but its lethality is very weak..." After thinking for a moment, Frenda added, "Well, it can still cause quite a lot of damage to the eardrum."

"Uh...so what's your purpose in giving me this bomb?" Kinuhata asked cautiously.

If Franda's description was accurate and she was not lying to me, this bomb would not actually cause any substantial harm to me.

The "nitrogen armor" can physically block any damage caused by air vibrations. "It's an alarm," Takitsubo Rikou explained. "It can be considered an emergency measure in the event of an emergency."

"Put it in the room and use it to scare the enemy?"

Kinuhata likes to imagine the scene: if an enemy sneaks into this apartment and encounters this "scare toy" while searching the room...

"Although the actual damage isn't significant, it looks incredibly interesting," Kinuhata commented, trying to be as objective as possible. "Even better, a non-lethal bomb can prevent serious damage to the room, which makes it even more suitable."

She still remembered Takitsubo Riko's warning just now - if she damaged the apartment room, it would incur the anger of Mugino Shiori.

"Well, I'm afraid this can't be considered a benefit, right?" Frenda shook her head and said, "In the end, the house will definitely be destroyed anyway."

According to Franda's conception, the greatest effect of this boom bomb is actually to summon Mugino Senri, and in a furious state. At that time, no matter what kind of invader it is, it will inevitably be blasted into dust by her "atomic collapse".

After hearing her explanation, Kinuhata Saiai and Takitsubo Rikou looked at each other, but they felt that compared to the invader, the furious Maizono Shiori was more terrifying.

Franda, who was keen on dancing in the minefield, was completely unaware and was still enthusiastically introducing how to activate the doll bomb.

"Just like this..." She reached out and pressed one of the doll's glass eyes. "Press here three times in a row to activate the bomb. From then on, any slight vibration will trigger an explosion."

Seeing the bomb in his hand that had already been activated, Juanqi Zuiai didn't dare to move, but just looked at Franda in front of him silently.

Franda reached out and pressed the doll's eyes three times in succession. "Okay, that's it. Don't worry, it won't explode even if you squish it now."

Kinuhata patted the doll carefully and found that it was indeed stable and there was no sign of explosion, so she felt a little relieved.

She decided to place the doll in the most conspicuous place in the room to remind herself not to touch it accidentally... and then find an open space to dispose of it after a while.

Fortunately, Franda had no ill intentions - Kinuhata could tell that - she sent the bomb doll just to give herself an additional means of protecting herself.

And it seems that Franda has already promoted this "alarm device" among "props".

"No, I didn't accept that kind of doll." Takitsubo Rikou shook her head in denial. "Although I'm also a Level 4 esper, my body isn't that strong. I can't use such a violent alarm device."

Apart from the bomb maker himself, I'm afraid only Kinuhata, who has top-level defense, can control this kind of doll?

Franda herself knew this very well, so she was so excited to give the doll to Kinuhata's favorite.

"So, be sure to use it well and tell me how you feel about it when the time comes." Franda said with a smile.

"...If I have the chance, I will use it." Kinuhata loves to be in an awkward situation, but as a newcomer, it is not easy to directly offend his seniors, so he had to agree temporarily.

"Don't worry, with your Level 4 abilities, there won't be any problems," Frenda said, then casually asked, "By the way, Kinuhata, there should be another nitrogen manipulation expert among your companions, right?"
