A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 571 Wishes and Idols

"So it's really so valuable..." Riri Saten was frightened by Misaka Mikoto's generosity and couldn't help but mutter to herself.

Saten Ruiko isn't a fan of the "Kuatai" series. The reason she got this precious capsule toy was simply because of good luck...

Around this time last year, all sorts of talk about the "Sports Meeting Quata Series" suddenly started circulating on the anonymous forums I frequent. Rumors were circulating that some people were paying exorbitant prices on the dark web for rare models—among them, the "Archery Quata."

At that time, Riri Saten was also out of curiosity, and on a whim, she wanted to make a small fortune. So for a period of time after that, whenever she saw a gashapon machine on the way home from school, she would try one.

This "Archery Guatai" was the harvest at that time.

However, by the time Riri Saten drew the "Archery Quata", the hype on the forum had already passed, and no one was willing to pay a high price to purchase this treasure from her.

Riri Saotome was unwilling to sell it at a low price, so she simply kept it and put it in a drawer and forgot about it.

Because at that time, Ryoko Saten specifically complained about this matter to Sakurai Hatsuharu and Kuroko Shirai, so Kuroko Shirai remembered it.

Later, it was not until she became Misaka Mikoto's roommate that Shirai Kuroko realized that there really were such fanatical fans!
"No need to pay anything." Saten Ruiko waved her hands repeatedly. She was not willing to accept money from her friends. "It's not something particularly precious to me. As long as Misaka-san likes it, I'll give it to you."

"Really? Thank you so much!" Misaka Mikoto was overjoyed. She immediately bowed deeply and banged her head on the table.

"But I can't accept such a precious treasure for nothing!" Misaka Mikoto added, "If Saten-san has any wishes, as long as I can fulfill them, just tell me!"

"Wow, so generous, worthy of being the eldest daughter of Tokiwadai Junior High School..." Hatsuharu Shikiri beside her showed an expression of admiration.

"Actually, there's no need to be so exaggerated. Wishes and such..." Saten Ruiko scratched her head and laughed, "I don't have any... No, maybe I actually have one wish that I want to fulfill."

As she said this, she turned to look at Hatsuharu Shiori beside her.

The latter immediately responded, "Does Saten-san have any wishes? Could it be... to visit the school garden?"

"That's your wish, isn't it..." Saten Ruiko bluntly pointed out, "Well, it does have something to do with Uiharu-san."

After that, Saten Ruiko solemnly said to Misaka Mikoto: "We—Hatsuharu Shikiri and I want to meet with Mumei-senpai!"

"Huh? Wuming...senior?" This answer obviously exceeded Misaka Mikoto's expectations. She really couldn't understand why this topic was brought up with Lin Wuming.

"Yes," Saten Ruiko explained seriously, "After all, Misaka-san and Mumei-senpai have a very good relationship, so I can only ask you for this kind of thing!"

"Well, it's not like we have a very close relationship, is it?" The Super Electric Shocker scratched his head, a bright smile on his face, "We're just ordinary friends. Between me and Wuming Senior...hahaha..."

"Misaka-senpai... please calm down." Shirai Kuroko reminded from the side.

"Yeah," Misaka Mikoto nodded repeatedly, as if she had just come to her senses. "I see, Wuming-senpai... er, can I ask what you guys want from Wuming-senpai?"

"How should I put it," Ruiko Saten said with a wry smile, "Let's just say I'm going to complain to Wuming Senior, right?"

This year, Hatsuharu Shikiri and Saten Ruiko were admitted to Kagawa Junior High School.

That’s right, because it is Lin Wuming’s alma mater, the originally ordinary Zhachuan Middle School also has to pass a rigorous entrance examination before being admitted.

Otherwise, there would be too many students wanting to attend this school, and according to previous years' conventions, it would be impossible to accommodate them all. Hatsuharu Shikiri was a member of the Discipline Committee, and she was admitted as an exceptional talent because of her outstanding performance in the "Underground Arena" case handled by Lin Wuming.

So she always regarded Lin Wuming as her role model and idol.

And Riri Saten once served as Lin Wuming's "urban legend consultant", so they had some friendship.

Therefore, the two of them specifically entered Zhachuan Middle School. The main reason was that this was the school Lin Wuming attended, and they wanted to become his junior...

However, until a month ago, they were still elementary school students, so they overlooked one thing - junior high school is only three years.

When they were admitted to Zhachuan Middle School as they wished this year, they discovered that Lin Wuming had actually been promoted to a high school student!

The two people who missed their idol completely were of course full of resentment.

In addition, Lin Wuming is no longer the same person he used to be. In fact, he is already in a "high position" and rarely acts with ordinary discipline committee members.

This made it difficult for Hatsuharu Shikiri to meet Lin Wuming even during disciplinary committee activities. Since their relationship with Lin Wuming wasn't close enough to allow for a casual visit, they could only accept reality.

Now, it just so happened that Misaka Mikoto, who "has a good relationship with Wuming senior", took the initiative to make a promise, so Saten Ruiko thought of this matter first.

——I want to meet my idol.

"Is that so? No problem!" Misaka Mikoto nodded and agreed without hesitation, "Leave it to me, I'll arrange it!"

——Anyway, the two of them have known Senior Wuming for a long time, so this is a good reason to ask Senior Wuming out to play.

As she spoke, Misaka Mikoto took out her cell phone and prepared to call Lin Wuming.

But he immediately stopped and said, "I'm afraid it won't be possible these days... Senior Wuming just got promoted to Level 5, and he's been very busy lately."

After all, Lin Wuming is not just an ordinary level 5, he is also the recognized "hero" and "Wuming Director" of Academy City.

The additional influence generated by the improvement of Lin Wuming's personal strength is not limited to himself.

You know, in the past two days, Lin Wuming's cell phone has never stopped ringing because of various business contacts.

Originally, Kumokawa Maria, who was only in charge of accounting for the Misaka Foundation, was brought over to help with these chores.

Now is obviously not a good time to ask Lin Wuming out to play.

"Ah, it's okay, we can wait!" Hatsuharu Shikiri said quickly, "We just need to choose a time when Wuming-senpai is free."

"Well, let's do it this weekend." Misaka Mikoto said immediately.

"Huh? So fast?" Riri Saten said in surprise. She thought she would have to wait longer.

"Because there's a celebration party this weekend," Misaka Mikoto said, "it was decided two days ago—a party to celebrate Wuming-senpai's becoming a level 5, so we should all be free then. You guys can come along too."
