Temperature Control in Academy City

Really, why does everyone like to drag me along to run?

Reluctantly, he let go of the cart in his hand and asked the clerk beside him to keep it for him, then he trotted after Index.

But at this time, Natsume looked at Feng Zhan Binghua not far away with some confusion.

What a strange person! Although this Feng Zhan Binghua is constantly releasing body temperature, Natsume has a very weird feeling in his heart, as if a bald head suddenly stood out in the crowd.

Her body temperature changes were too regular, as if a fixed process was set by humans, unlike a normal human body which would change differently all the time.

"Is she also a heat-related esper?"

While thinking about something in his head, Natsume was soon pulled by Index to run to the side of Kazezan Hyouka and Kamijou Touma.

"Ah, long time no see."

Kamijou Touma wanted to act more familiar, but he couldn't remember the other person's name for a moment, so he could only wave and say hello.

She goes to the same school as Bilibili and is good friends with Index. Last time, she gave herself and Index a few cakes. Kamijou Touma unexpectedly has a good impression of her.

"Hello, Kamijou-senpai."

She just nodded politely and ignored this unremarkable actor.

She is a very polite person, without any bad habits of a young lady. Kamijou Touma couldn't help but compare her with a certain Bilibili in his mind.

Natsume turned his gaze to Feng Zhan Binghua beside him, and his eyes stared at each other unconsciously.

"There's something wrong with this person."

But when I think about it carefully, it seems that this has nothing to do with me. On the contrary, it is wrong for me to investigate others at will.

She quickly withdrew her gaze and Natsume Sonoko met Feng Zhan Binghua through Index's introduction.

My first impression of Feng Zhan Bing Hua was similar to what I had imagined, a very shy and timid girl. If you compare her to others, even Natsume can be considered an extrovert.

After just a brief chat with Feng Zhan Binghua, Natsume Sonoko subconsciously touched her pocket. According to her habit of making friends, she should give a gift at this time.

Natsume's mind turned and it seemed that his shopping cart was still in the supermarket, and there seemed to be nothing around him except the discipline committee member's armband.

"In that case, this is for you, Feng Zhan-san."

When he opened his palm, a crystal clear ice sculpture appeared in Natsume's hand. It was a smaller version of Fengzhan Binghua.

As the accuracy of her abilities improves, Natsume Sonoko becomes more and more adept at carving ice sculptures. She might even be able to sign up for the Academy City Art Exhibition or something.

"Yuanzi Yuanzi, I want this too."

Index on the side blinked hard, then jumped up anxiously, pulling Natsume's arm and shaking it.

"Too hard, Index."

Although she was somewhat unwilling, Natsume was indeed not as strong as Index, and the ice sculpture in her hand was almost thrown off.

"Is this for me? Thank you."

With his mouth slightly opened, Feng Zhan Binghua timidly took the ice sculpture. He held it in both hands and walked under the sunlight, looking it up and down with a curious look.

Index on the side also got one. At this time, she held up her ice sculpture and excitedly showed it in front of Kamijou Touma.

"It's amazing. Even the hair feels so fine."

Kamijou Touma said with some emotion. He now looked up to this short Tokiwadai girl. It turned out that she had such ability.

"Sonoko, we're going to the underground mall soon, do you want to come with us?"

Index asked somewhat excitedly.

According to their plan, after picking up Index, they went to the nearby underground shopping mall to play.

"I won't go to the underground street nearby. I just bought a lot of things and now I have to go back to the student dormitory."

After thinking for a while, Natsume shook his head and said.

Index returned to the supermarket to punch in after get off work. She didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse to be living the life of a salaryman at such a young age.

But the people in the supermarket were really nice to Index. Maybe this is what true love is like in the world.

Natsume, on the other hand, was carrying a bunch of bags and stopped a passing white cylinder on the road.

Stepping on the white cylinder, Natsume Sonoko turned on the acceleration mode and headed towards her own student dormitory. Along the way, she also performed her duties as a discipline committee member and kept an eye on the safety of the Academy City.

Chapter 189 Reaching a consensus with Misaka-senpai

With the huge weight pressing on the body, all obstacles blocking the way become a thing of the past.

Someone driving Academy City's high-tech vehicle passed through familiar streets and climbed the steep slope nimbly with a satisfied smile on his face.

But the ground suddenly shook violently. Natsume Sonoko looked up and saw a dazzling beam of light from a super-electromagnetic cannon streaking across the sky.

"Is that Misaka-senpai?"

Natsume frowned as he looked at the orange light.

Without much hesitation, he jumped off the white cylinder. Before being pulled back to the ground by gravity, a pair of transparent wings carried Natsume into the sky.

Although he was holding a bunch of packages in his hands, it did not affect his performance. Natsume quickly found the place where the incident happened in mid-air.

When they landed, there was a ten-meter-deep pit on the ground at the scene of the accident. There were deep cracks near the pit, and a pile of scattered soil and rocks was piled on the ground not far away.

Near this pile of dirt, Shirai-san, who I just met, was sitting on the ground panting. On the other side was Misaka-san, who had just released a certain railgun with her arms raised.

His feet were placed on the ground, right between Misaka-senpai and the other two.

Natsume Sonoko glanced at the dozen or so steel needles nailed to the ground. That was Shirai's means of attack.

There were remnants of torn clothes on these steel needles, but the guy who was originally restrained by the steel needles had disappeared.

The prisoner appears to have escaped.

"He actually defeated Shirai-san and managed to escape from Misaka-san's hands."

Natsume Sonoko was a little surprised, but she quickly figured out what had happened.

Although Shirai's abilities are relatively simple, she is a space-based ability user after all. Ordinary people are no match for Shirai, and it is not an ordinary event that can make her suffer.

"Sister, you finally came to save Heizi. Heizi is so happy."

Shirai slowly stood up, her face full of emotion. She had some minor scratches on her body, but luckily they were not serious.

Shirai-san had just regained her balance when she began to accelerate towards Misaka-senpai who was not far away, as if she wanted to throw herself into Misaka-senpai's arms, but ended up bumping into a girl with a bun who happened to be caught in the middle.

“It hurts, it hurts, it hurts.”

Shirai suddenly squatted on the ground with his head in his hands. A bump of a medium size immediately appeared on his head, and he couldn't help but gasp.

It really hurts, but why did a wall appear in front of onee-sama? Shirai suddenly became confused.

"Shirai-san, it's not nice to attack someone suddenly. It will be very disturbing."

The familiar voice immediately reached the ears of Misaka-senpai and Shirai-san. The two of them were suddenly stunned, but they didn't notice anything in their sight.

"Is that you, Natsume-san?" Senior Misaka asked tentatively.

Misaka-senpai reacted immediately. She was able to observe the nearby area through the weak current in the air. Just like Natsume-san could sense heat, she could also find hidden enemies in the dark in time.

The weak electric current in some areas of the air became too stable, and the location of this part happened to form a human-shaped area with relatively short stature.

With one hand stretched forward, he quickly raised a wind shield, which blew away Shirai-san who was speeding up.

Since the rebound force is not strong, it cannot cause critical damage.

At this time, her other hand was still tightly holding her trophy. As soon as Natsume Sonoko finished speaking, she was ready to cancel her optical invisibility.

Natsume's optical invisibility has reached a very perfect level. Just through the refraction of light in air of different temperatures, he can derive a lot of good skills. Shirai and the others all know this, so they are not very surprised.

With the invisibility lifted, Natsume Sonoko makes a stunning appearance.

"You bastard, why are you standing between Onee-sama and Kuroko for no reason!"

As she spoke, Shirai became more and more dissatisfied.

Not only is he invisible, but this guy also used his ability to bounce himself away, causing himself to hit a bump on the head. Couldn't you just give me some time to cushion the blow?

"Hey, just now at the Discipline Committee 177, Shirai-san, you didn't treat me like this."

Shaking her head slightly, Natsume Sonoko looked as if she saw through you.

Under normal circumstances, even if it was unintentional, you should apologize. But if the other person is Shirai, it's different, because most people won't rush at someone at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.

"Forget it this time. Natsume-san, you didn't mean it."

Shirai rubbed his head and said in a depressed tone, as if he had thought of something.

Before long, security guards appeared on the street to maintain order, and the panic of the crowd subsided.

Although the attacker had disappeared, Shirai had not given up the pursuit. He retrieved the steel needle he had shot from the ground and saw two other people whispering.

"Natsume-san, you just came back from the supermarket."

Misaka-senpai said with some concern as she looked at the bags in someone's hands.

"Well, I was just about to go back to the student dormitory, but I saw your railgun beam, Misaka-senpai. I was worried about what might have happened, so I hurried over to check it out."

Natsume-san nodded and replied.

But judging from the situation, Misaka-senpai has already taken care of the matter and she doesn't need me anymore.

"Are you going back to the student dormitory? Then let's go back together, Natsume-san. I heard from Tsuchimikado-san that the cafeteria will make tiramisu cake tonight."

Misaka-senpai spoke at this time, with some anticipation on her face.

"Tiramisu cake, sounds delicious."

Saliva unconsciously secreted from the corner of his mouth, and a guy with a bun-like hair nodded with interest.

"Onee-sama, this won't do. Natsume-san still has to work with me to track down the illegal intruder, so please go back alone."

"As the defenders of Academy City, we must strictly stand on the front line. Enjoying this kind of thing is not suitable for us."

Shirai opened his hands wide and used his ability to instantly stand between the two of them, speaking with great determination.

"Illegal intruders?" Natsume Sonoko asked, tilting her head.

Um, seems I asked the wrong question.

Why did Shirai-san drag me along? There must be some ulterior motive behind it.

"Yes, he is a person who can control the soil."

Unsure of the other person's abilities, Shirai-san answered hesitantly.

"Onee-sama, you may not know that Natsume-san has agreed to become a member of the Discipline Committee today, and we will start taking action next. Onee-sama, you are a civilian and should not get involved in such matters."

As if noticing the dissatisfaction on Misaka-senpai's face, Shirai-san immediately explained.

An evil hand began to move, and was about to teleport away with a girl with a bun, but was unexpectedly dodged by someone swiftly.

Humph, you want to use the same trick on me twice, Shirai-san, you are still too naive.

He immediately took a step back. Due to his recent experience, Natsume had already formed a certain conditioned reflex towards Shirai's evil hands.

"Shirai-san."

"Strictly speaking, I can only be considered a member of the Discipline Committee after completing various procedures in two days. And according to the agreement between us, I don't need to do these things."

Natsume said righteously that even though she was known for being helpful, she would not be drafted into the army so easily.

According to the agreement signed between the Discipline Committee and myself, I only need to deal with the criminal incidents I encounter. If it exceeds my ability limit, I can choose to give up or call for support. I don't need to conduct patrols and searches.

Of course, apart from the agreement, it depends on whether Natsume is willing or not.

When Shirai left, her face was full of anger, and she once again experienced how difficult it was to deal with a certain girl with a bun.

Although he was very reluctant to see onee-sama and Natsume-san go back together, his sense of justice and his duty as a discipline committee member suppressed this feeling, and he moved away in a hurry.

On the way back to the student dormitory, Misaka-senpai helped carry some of Natsume-san's spoils, but there was a look of worry on her face.

"Misaka-senpai, are you worried about Shirai-san?"

As they walked, Natsume Sonoko looked at the expression on Misaka-senpai's face with concern.

"Well, the enemy that Kuroko is hunting now is very strong. He can create giants with bodies of earth and stone. Although giants can be easily penetrated by the railgun, I still have a bad feeling." Senior Misaka said with some concern.
