Temperature Control in Academy City

Seeing familiar classmates in the parade, Natsume Sonoko became even more enthusiastic.

District 23 is affiliated with the experimental airport of Post-Marriage Aviation.

"Hmm, cough, cough"

Natsume Sonoko cleared her throat, her vocal cords a little hoarse. She gulped down the throat soothing tea beside her, but still felt a little uncomfortable.

"Sonoko, are you catching a cold?"

Phibrey tilted her head, a hint of confusion in her big eyes.

"It's not a cold. Phibbery, you must listen to Senior Butsuki outside. The same goes for Jenny. If you encounter bad guys, use your abilities to protect yourself and your sister."

With a reluctant expression on her face, Natsume Sonoko touched Phoebe and Jenny's heads with both hands at the same time.

Instead, Natsume didn't feel too sad. He felt that this was already a very good result.

Today is the day that Jenny and Phibre are leaving Academy City. Except for Shirai who is in the hospital and can't come, Saten and the married seniors are all here.

Originally, Butsu-senpai and the others were going to leave yesterday, but Academy City temporarily sent someone to accompany them, so the departure was postponed until now.

According to Academy City's internal requirements, this fellow staff member will not interfere with the examination and treatment, but only needs to transmit the treatment data of Phoebe and others back to Academy City in real time.

"Are all your things ready? Be sure to take good care of yourself outside and take care of yourself."

Saten Ruiko gave careful instructions and couldn't help rubbing her eyes, tears already falling from them.

Classmate Hatsuharu stood behind them with a somewhat sad look on her face, holding a bunch of snacks prepared for Phibre and the others.

Phibbery had been living with Saten and the others, and their relationship was much deeper.

"Tear, stop crying."

Phibbery had a lollipop in her mouth, holding her sister Jenny with one hand, and placing the other hand on Saten's arm as if to comfort her.

"Saten-san, Jenny and Phoebe will be back once they are cured."

Uiharu walked up to Saten-san, her voice a little low, but before she could finish her words, tears welled up in her eyes.

"It's almost time for us to leave. Thank you very much for Miss Married's help this time. Academy City's treatment is so lenient that it's unbelievable."

On the other side, Butsuka Toshin was still wearing the maid-like dress and nodded politely to the married senior.

"Phibre is my friend, so this is nothing. Besides, Natsume's father also helped."

The folding fan covered her cheeks, and the face of the married senior sister was slightly red.

"After you get married, don't be so modest. Say goodbye to Phoebe and the others properly."

Senior Misaka at the side couldn't help but smile and gently patted Mitsuko's shoulder.

Chapter 247 Obtaining a New Vehicle

In my ears was the roar of the passenger plane taking off, and the strong air pressure made it impossible to open my eyes.

A few dozen meters away from the plane, Riri Saotome waved high in the direction of the plane until the plane disappeared into the thick clouds.

"I hope everything goes well for Phibry and the others."

Saten-san wiped her eyes and finally regained her composure.

"Don't be sad, Saten-san. By the way, this is Alisa's autograph. Shirai-san asked me to do this."

Natsume Sonoko let out an "oh" and her throat felt a little better. She trotted to find her schoolbag that was placed next to the airport fence.

"Alyssa's autographed CD and a limited edition poster. The CD was prepared by Shirai, and the poster was given to me by Alyssa later."

Spreading these things in front of her, Natsume Sonoko nodded seriously.

Her job was to find Alyssa and ask for her autograph.

"Saten-san, cheer up."

After stuffing it into Saten's hand, Natsume Sonoko stretched out her arm and made a gesture of encouragement.

"Thank you, everyone is the best."

With a hint of tears still on her face, Riri Saotome opened her arms and hugged a girl with a bun, and the emotions in her heart began to be released again.

"Not so good."

Natsume Sonoko touched her nose and smiled shyly, but her eyes couldn't help but look in the direction where Phoebe and the others left.

The world outside is not that safe.

I said goodbye to my married senior at the airport, and then boarded the automatic bus back to the seventh school district.

As the Daiha Sei Festival approaches, in addition to regular buses, many autonomous buses are being added for trial operation.

"By the way, let's go to the hospital to visit Shirai-san."

Hatsuharu, who always spoke softly, suggested this, with an inexplicably strange expression on her face.

Hatsuharu seemed to blame herself for Shirai's injury.

Sitting in the last row of the automatic bus, Natsume Sonoko sat upright in the middle, Misaka-senpai was leaning against the window looking at the scenery outside, and Saten-san was flipping through a signed CD in her hand.

The invisible aura seemed to suppress the entire automatic bus. No passengers got on the bus at the five or six stops. Only the comforting music was playing inside the bus.

"Come to think of it, Hatsuharu should be the first one to know about Shirai-san's injury."

Turning her head, Natsume Sonoko said with some concern.

Shirai-san's actions are usually assisted and backed up by Uiharu.

"I'm so sorry. If I hadn't told Shirai-san about the robbery, she wouldn't have been hurt so badly."

Chuchun lowered her head silently and said with some self-blame.

"Hey, Uiharu, don't think that way. Shirai-san's injury has nothing to do with you."

It seemed that an unexpected situation had occurred. Natsume Sonoko waved her hands in panic, and her slow look made people feel distressed.

"What I mean is, next time you encounter a situation like this, Utsuharu, don't listen to Shirai-san and hide the matter. You should inform everyone immediately."

Natsume Sonoko hurriedly explained.

It is normal for the discipline committee to be injured, but it is too much of a stretch to enforce justice while injured.

Although we don’t know what the final result will be, Shirai’s injuries will definitely be more serious than they are now.

"I understand."

With a dazed look on her face, Miss Constant Temperature Death paused for a few seconds, her cheeks suddenly turned red, and then she nodded vigorously.

"In fact, the security department has sent a notice today that Shirai-san is no longer allowed to continue to participate in such dangerous cases." Utsuharu-san added.

Shirai-san could no longer hide the fact that he was injured in the case when he entered the hospital.

However, a notification is just a notification. Based on everyone's understanding of Shirai-san, getting that guy to stop meddling in other people's business would be as difficult as getting Misaka-senpai to willingly give away the Quata toy.

People with a strong sense of justice always have much tougher nerves than ordinary people.

The automatic bus slowly left the 23rd School District, and what came into view was the towering space elevator, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The elevator in front of us has been mentioned on many web pages and TV shows recently, and even the most uninformed people have heard about it.

The origin of the name of the cosmic elevator Endymion is related to an ancient Greek myth.

No one cared much about the story behind the name, but just looked at this dreamy and magical building with some curiosity.

Being able to reach space directly from the ground is really something that people yearn for.

"That being said, the opening ceremony of the space elevator happens to be three days before the Daihastar Festival."

Saten-san's eyes widened slightly, and she suddenly spoke with great interest.

"Then let's go visit together then." Senior Misaka seemed to be very interested in this elevator as well.

Along the way, I bought some gifts to visit the patients, including fruits and flowers, plus a large box of Musashino milk.

On the way, I met senior Gufa who was also visiting Shirai, as well as several classmates from Tokiwadai Junior High School, most of whom were members of the Discipline Committee 003 branch.

From this perspective, Shirai-san is surprisingly popular.

"Misaka-sama, Natsume-san, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Xiaomei Makugami, who is in the same grade as her, was coming out of Kuroko Shirai's ward with a schoolbag in her hand.

I closed the door very quietly, and when I turned around, I saw Natsume Sonoko and her group.

There are cute braids on both sides of her hair, and neat side bangs just cover above the eyebrows.

There was a barely perceptible hint of nervousness on her round face, and her thick eyelashes made her eyes look bigger.

"Good afternoon, Makigami."

Senior Misaka waved and greeted her, appearing very enthusiastic and generous.

"Hello, Makigami-san."

As for the girl with a bun, she just nodded politely.

Although we often meet in school, we are not very familiar with each other.

In the first grade, she was a well-deserved celebrity, and everyone knew her.

Last time, I heard from Senior Amakusa You that there have been more than ten applications to join the Urban Legend Investigation Club recently.

It’s just that Natsume is not very good at dealing with these things, so he subconsciously doesn’t care.

"Nice to meet you again. I'm Makugami Komaki from Tokiwadai."

Looking at Saten-san and the others, Makuami Komaki nodded slightly, but her eyes were drawn to the wreath on Hatsuharu's head.

I met Saten and the others at the last meeting of the Research Society, so this wasn't the first time we met.

"Hello, I'm Hatsuharu Kuri from Kagawa Junior High School!"

Classmate Hatsuharu's expression suddenly turned serious, and she spoke in a loud and clear voice as if she was performing a musical. The girl in front of her fits her beautiful fantasy of young ladies very well.

"Please don't mind her, that's just how she is. And I'm Saten Ruiko from Kagawa Junior High School."

Riri Saotome couldn't help but rub her head and explained awkwardly.

Looking at Makigami-san's receding back, Misaka-senpai opened the door of the ward and walked in.

There is an extra futon in the corner of Shirai-san's ward. It was the one that Misaka-san used yesterday. As for Natsume-san, he can do whatever he wants and it's acceptable for him to squeeze in with Misaka-san.

A brand new wheelchair was placed near the bed. This was Shirai's new means of transportation.

It uses electric drive and automatic navigation. I heard that it can also change speeds into three gears and take off by catapult. It is much more advanced than the crutches that Natsume used at that time.

But it is still inferior to the cleaning robot.

"sister."

Following Shirai-san's sharp cry, the crazy discipline girl landed accurately in front of Misaka-senpai in a princess-carrying posture, forcing a certain railgun to use all its strength to catch the huge thing.

"So heavy, Kuroko, have you gained weight recently?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Misaka-senpai's face, and she suddenly asked with some concern.

"Sister, you are too much!"

Shirai's cheeks suddenly puffed up, and he seemed a little unhappy.

"Phibre and the others have already left."

"It's really unfortunate that the time is today."

After putting Shirai-san back on the bed, Misaka-senpai said with regret.

Chapter 248: Unknown Watcher

After placing the gifts on the cabinet, Shirai sat up straight and leaned against the head of the bed.

In less than a day, Shirai recovered and looked very energetic.

This vitality also made everyone feel relieved, and it seemed that Shirai-san was recovering very well.

Senior Misaka has also brought over Shirai's health card. The photo of Shirai on the health card looks very small, and it can be seen that the photo was taken when she was in elementary school.
