Chapter 5 There are double ponytails everywhere
"Trouble for a newspaper."
On the way to the train station the next day, the front page of every newspaper was full of cute girls with two ponytails wearing utopian armor.
"Welcome to Radio London, I'm your friend Charlie..."
When I got in the car and turned on the radio, the radio was full of utopian news. Compared to yesterday's simple press conference, the information was much more specific, and there were a lot of comments from "professionals".
Of course, there are no real combat parameters, no matter which newspaper or radio station, even if there is really a channel to get the relevant top-secret news, it will not dare to broadcast it, otherwise it will directly work in Scotland Yard to drink coffee.
For example, Charlie, who calls himself a "friend to the audience".
"According to reliable sources from well-informed sources, the designer of the utopian armor was an Anglo-Japanese half-breed with a close relationship to Buckingham Palace..."
Then the broadcast was cut off.
There was silence on the loudspeaker for a while, another voice appeared, the radio apologized to the audience, and everyone's "good friend" Charlie had a heart attack and was taken to the hospital. The new announcer then continued to broadcast the news, but the question of the designer's identity was never mentioned again.
"Very suspicious."
It's more likely that the designer is an older sister.
At the same time, as Misaka and King Arthur, isn't it a mixture of English and Japanese? Xana even thought of her sister's money-saving tradition, "every time I go to Buckingham Palace, I go to Buckingham Palace to eat and drink with relatives and borrow some pocket money", which has been the case since very early times. And for Buckingham Palace, unless the etiquette teachers and female officials are mobilized to preach and besiege, Sister Kotomi will not leave until she eats her cheap relatives.
Really, how did you forget this. It is useless to go through the trouble of checking the military files, and it is faster than anything to visit Buckingham Palace at night. It's a pity that school starts today, and the investigation activities can only be a few days away, and on the day of school, I skipped school at night, and the risk of being discovered by the teacher is a bit big.
Flip to the next page, there is no news in the newspaper but a full propaganda poster, the content?
"Recruitment ads?"
The second page of the newspaper devoted a full page to advertisements for the recruitment of utopian armored drivers. The best of them will become double ponytail warriors and join the United Nations special security forces to defend the planet against the Decepticons.
"It's all girls (ignoring the fact that Hideyoshi is also written in it) and it's limited to junior high school to high school? It's a crime! β
Hermione, who came over, was surprised by the age requirement in the recruitment conditions, which was a crime. Yesterday's show can barely be said to have hired students as models, and today is a proper crime.
Note: Under the Optional Protocol to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child on the involvement of children in armed conflict, the recruitment or recruitment of children under the age of 15, or the use of them to participate actively in hostilities in both international and non-international armed conflicts, is defined as a war crime.
"I'm sorry, but we don't have a choice..."
At the end of the advertisement, there is a signed apology from the Secretary-General of the United Nations. The current fantasy armor can only be activated by double ponytails, and the best synchronization situation is from the second year of junior high school to the second year of high school (including Hideyoshi), and this world is destined to be saved only by the second sister of middle school (including Hideyoshi).
Seeing this, Xana and the Granger family were overwhelmed.
"It's more suspicious."
Such a strange limit may have to fight with the off-line rabbit of the bundle of the sparkle. However, this seems to confirm my guess even more, and the designer is Sister Kotomi. That's why my sister will agree with the fact that off-line rabbits only allow girls (Hideyoshi is not included here) to drive IS, and add more bizarre restrictions.
However, this setting is not clear even to Xia Na, and it is naturally more difficult for ordinary people to accept.
Even though the United Nations said that these girls (including Hideyoshi) would study in a specialized school for several years after enlisting in the army, and only after they became adults would they officially join the war, there was still a lot of opposition, and Mr. Granger adjusted the channel just in time to hear a heated debate about the driver's requirements.
The debate also revealed another piece of information: the girl (including Hideyoshi) is not really a necessary condition, there is actually only one necessary condition, that is, a double ponytail. It's so strange that it has to break through the sky, and the girl is just a girl, and it can be said that it is a chromosomal problem (what chromosome is Hideyoshi?) But why is hairstyle the only restriction?
"War makes women go away! Men can also have double ponytails! β
The opposing side of the radio station is completely unacceptable to the cute girl saving the earth. Since the second sister (including Hideyoshi) is not a necessary condition, all that is really required is a double ponytail. There are more than two billion men in the world who can always choose a few suitable ones (this one also excludes Hideyoshi from men).
"Really? So are you going to turn into a cute girl or just tie a double ponytail and go to the battlefield? β
One sentence from the positive side silences the opposite side, and a man really can't do it.
Normal men wouldn't be willing to turn into girls in order to save the world (it's too hard to find a two-ponytail fool like Kanshu Soji in the world.) If it weren't for the double ponytail stupid, I'm afraid there would be no man who didn't care about being willing to become a girl, but instead touched himself in the bathroom), and the technology is also a big problem (APTX9684 is not within the scope of the transfer), and traditional surgery cannot meet the requirements and is inhumane.
And not a girl, directly tie a double ponytail into battle - not to mention whether there can be a qualified person, just brain-make up for the double ponytail brother wearing fantasy armor......
Vomit... No, I'm going to vomit. The impact of the three views is too great, and as soon as they enter the battlefield, the friendly forces will probably lose their combat effectiveness first. Just thinking about it, Xana and Hermione said that their SAN values had dropped to negative numbers, and even Mr. Granger, who was driving, almost hit a tree.
A disgusted carload of people arrives at the train station in a trance, and Xana and Hermione check in to the platform after saying goodbye to the Grangers.
"It was renovated so fast."
There was no trace of gunsmoke from a few months ago at the London train station, and if it weren't for the many more police officers and too strict, there would be no difference between it and the first time I went to Hogwarts a year ago.
At the back of the New Hogwarts train (the old one was packed and sliced by the Ministry of Magic due to its cybersteinization), Xana and Hermione found an empty car that was not yet empty, and after packing their luggage, Xana and Hermione chatted while waiting for Harry and Ron.
Hermione took out her textbook and began to prepare, so that she could get into the learning mode when school started. And Shana is noncommittal about this, and the light novel textbook and the novelist's new teacher have greatly reduced Shana's desire to learn. Seeing that Xana seemed absent-minded, Hermione asked a few more questions, only to hear something even more terrifying.
"Xana, can't you think something normal!"
Hermione tried her best to dispel Xana's dangerous thoughts.
Go to Buckingham Palace to find my sister!
Hermione definitely didn't think that Xana would just be visiting the open area like a regular tourist, and that she would be able to find the mysterious sister, unless Xana's sister was working as a docent at Buckingham Palace.
Sneaking into the closed areas of Buckingham Palace at night would be considered a thief if you weren't considered an assassin.
Hermione never thought that Xana would have such intentions. Tapping the air defense network had already frightened her before, for fear that agents from Scotland Yard would call them to assist in the investigation that day. Now Xana is even more daring and preparing to invade the Queen's residence! The reason is simply because Xana suspects that the fantasy armor was made by her sister, who may be eating and drinking in Buckingham Palace.
Especially when I heard Xana say "eat and drink", Hermione is Spartan, does your sister take the British royal family as your free canteen (which is true)?
"Xana, please!"
Hermione seems to have seen a large number of 007s burst into the house and arrest her along with Xana.
"Don't worry, stupid agents can't find me, and they just can't be caught."
"If you can't catch it, you can't do it, it's a matter of principle!"
Hermione was very glad that they had found a box with no one at the end in order to wait for Harry and Ron, otherwise their classmates might have caused something to happen when they heard Shana's terrifying speech.
However, Harry and Ron did not show up until the train departed, and the two of them rummaged through the entire train without seeing them.
"What about Harry and Ron?"
"Did anyone see them?"
The Weasley twins, who had not yet caught their breath, shook their heads blankly along with their little sister. Theoretically, the two big living people who followed behind were actually lost, which is really speechless. And now that the train has departed, even Prefect Percy can't ask it to stop.
"I must learn divination well next year."
Hermione felt that these bad things should have been avoided if she had the ability to predict. However, if Hermione had consulted with her senior classmates, she would most likely change her mind. Professor Trelawney, who teaches divination, you know.
At this time, Harry and Ron were outside the platform, looking at the train station clock in a trance. At the last moment, when they tried to enter the platform of Nine and Three-Quarters, the passage was closed, and the two were trapped outside.
"Drove away." Ron said with a look on his face, "The train has already left." What if Mom and Dad don't come back to pick us up? Do you have any Muggle money? β
"The Desiree haven't given me pocket money for six years."
Harry only smiled wryly.
"What are we going to do? I don't know when Mom and Dad will come back and pick us up. β
There are already a lot of people around who have already looked over, and if you don't think of a way quickly, I'm afraid that the police and gentlemen will also pay attention to it in a while. You must know that because the train station was attacked by the Decepticons at the end of last semester, the security level here has been improved a lot after the reconstruction, and once they are considered suspicious, they are likely to attract the police, and there will be a lot of unpacking and inspection (in fact, they should already be happy, because it is the Decepticons and not terrorists to guard against, otherwise they would have been on the X-ray machine security check a long time ago).
"I think we'd better get back in the car and wait." Harry said, "We're so eye-catching"
"'Harry!'
Ron suddenly exclaimed, his eyes sparkling.
"The car!"
"So what?"
"We can fly back to school in the car!"
"But I thinkβ"
"We're desperate now, aren't we? We've got to find a way to get back to school! In case of emergency, even wizards who are not old enough can use magic, as if mentioned in Chapter 19 of the Restriction Statute......"
It was possible to drive a flying car to study, and Harry's horror turned into excitement. I have to say that both guys are Gryffindor bear children who are afraid of the world.
"Will you fly that car?"
"No problem!" Ron's chest thumped, and he pushed the cart and ran towards the station, "Come on, let's go together." If we hurry, we can catch up with the Hogwarts Express. β
Passing through the curious crowd and crossing the street, the two soon came to the old Ford that Mr. Weasley had driven today. Although the car looks old, it has been modified by Mr. Weasley to fly in the sky and become invisible.
Ron quickly opened the car with his wand, and when he was about to leave with his luggage, he suddenly had a pain in his abdomen.
"Oh, no, I'm going to go to the bathroom first."
Ron went to fix his physiology, leaving Harry alone in the car.
Knock knock! Suddenly, there was a knock on the car window.
"Woo meow, illegal parking, posted a ticket."
Harry was startled and stared out blankly.
A cute girl in a strange costume (shrine maiden costume) was standing outside the car window, and to Harry's surprise, there were two large furry ears on top of their heads. Harry had never seen or heard of a man with animal ears on his head, and this was also a wizard?
"You... Hello, are you also a wizard? β
Harry was a little incoherent. He was about to sneak Mr. Weasley's car away with Ron, and now that he was discovered, he felt like he had been caught as a thief.
"The answer is incorrect. Misaka isn't a wizard, he's a god. You seem to be in crisis, do you feel weak and useless? Boy, in fact, it's very simple to solve this, just sign a contract with Misaka. So, are you going to be a horse monkey shochu? β
God? Harry's embarrassment. And what is horse monkey soju, Harry swears he has never heard of this word, and it doesn't seem to be an English word, and he doesn't know why he feels a strong malice when he hears this.
A few minutes later, Harry, who was standing next to the car, stared blankly at the bracelet on his right wrist. When did you bring this thing? I always feel as if I forgot something just now, I remember that I was sitting in the car, why did I come out?
"Hey, man, hurry up and get in the car. We're going to leave quickly, and it's been a long time to go to the bathroom just now. β
Ron, who returned, gave him a push.
"Oh."
A dazed Harry quickly shoved himself into the car. After confirming that there was no one around, the two started a stealth takeoff to chase the Hogwarts train.
"Finally sold."
Looking at the car that flew away, a certain meow who was suspected of QB turned to leave.
Dinner time......
"Harry, are they alright? Did they really steal the car? Hopefully, they will find their way to school. β
Xana and Hermione watched as the last classmate was sorted into the house, and Harry and Ron still didn't show up. Everyone was worried, and the food in front of them became tasteless.
After discovering that the two did not catch the car, Hermione quickly approached Percy to explain the situation, and borrowed a classmate's owl to ask the teachers for help. Percy also sent a letter to the other side of the platform, asking if the parents had seen Harry and Ron.
"Oh no! Dad said they didn't see Harry and Ron either, and the bad news was that the car was missing. β
Mr. Weasley was quick to reply. The strange closure of the entrance and exit caused the Weasleys to get stuck inside, and when they came out, they didn't find Harry, and when they got to the parking place, they found that the old Ford was gone.
"Oh, our little brother is so good! He flew to school by his own car! βΓ2
Then each of them was given a popping chestnut by Xana.
"We're in trouble. Radar scans didn't show any cars in the air, I'm afraid they didn't follow our train. β
Xana's goofy fur turned around a few times, but she found nothing.
Although it is not convenient to use the full power scanning of dimensional ships, ordinary radar scanning also covers a small half of England, and there is not a single Ford sedan flying in the sky in this area.
The traditional invisibility magic of the wizarding world is meaningless to Xana's radar, and this is not yet available, which can only be said to be worse news - they got lost in the sky in the car, and it is not ordinary (Xana has no idea, the car's invisibility is broken, and Harry activates the newly acquired bracelet in order not to be seen).
As a result, there has been no news until now, and I heard that Mr. Weasley was still looking around outside, and he called a lot of people to help.
"Hey, Snape is out."
"It's as if he's talking to someone."
Following Shana's gaze, Hermione also saw the big bat walk to the door and stop someone, and then take the two figures away.
"Looking at the back, it's a little familiar......"
"Of course, that's Harry and Ron. They're finally at school, but it looks like the aftermath isn't small. β
"Sequelae? Oh no! β
Hermione finally realized that Harry and Ron had stolen the car to the school and had been caught by Snape.
"We'll know the result before going to bed at the latest, and now at least they don't miss arms or legs, so it's no big deal, let's eat."
Soon, Xana saw that the Headmaster and Professor McGonagall had been called away by Snape, and the judge was about to take his place, so the verdict was about to be announced.
When it was time for dessert, Dumbledore returned to the hall.
Professor McGonagall returns and announces that Harry and Ron will be punished for violating school rules. In addition, because there was no school year at the time of the incident, Gryffindor would not be deducted points.
"Hooray!"
"Professor, we love you!"
The Gryffindors erupted in cheers, and the Weasley twins screamed loudest inside. Snape and Slydrin looked like they were a pity, Potter and Weasley were expelled and sent home, and it was definitely a mistake to just serve in labor.
After dinner, Harry and Ron, who had returned to Gryffindorta, were warmly welcomed and overwhelmed by thunderous applause, before they were asked to tell a good story about their adventures along the way. Except for Percy, who angrily reasoned with the first-year freshmen that this was not a role model, everyone was elated.
"How smart!" Lee Jordan yelled, "Be creative! Driving a flying car to land on a beating willow, this incident is enough for everyone to talk about for a few years. β
"This kid is good!"
A fifth-grader who had never spoken to Harry tapped him on the shoulder as if he had won the "marathon" for the house.
Fred and George squeezed forward and asked, "Why don't you call us too?" β
"Harry, come here."
Xana and Hermione called Harry, who was surrounded by everyone, and left Ron, whose face was redder than his hair, to continue to brag about his driving skills, and he was talking about how calmly he turned the tide and used the smashing willow to reduce the impact of the landing on the way to the crash at the end.
"You say you've been flying with the train?"
"Yes."
Harry said that he and Ron had been following the train, mostly hiding in the clouds, but that was weird.
"How did you get past my radar?"
"Radar?"
"That's right. Along the way, I repeatedly scanned the entire airspace, and there were no of your cars for hundreds of kilometers around the train. Confess, how did you evade detection? I don't think you can cover the whole car with an invisibility cloak. β
Aside from Harry's invisibility cloak, Xana has yet to discover any magic or magical items in this world that can evade the dimensional ship's radar scanning. Also, when Harry and Ron recounted the journey, they mentioned several times that the invisibility device had been up and down not long after activation, and that each time they had fixed it quickly.
Xana is skeptical.
If this stealth device is so simple that two super noobs who have not even been exposed to ancient magic literature can tinker with it, then this device is either rudimentary to the extreme, or a cross-era super self-discipline device.
And the former certainly can't escape the radar, and if the latter is true, then Mr. Weasley is not a government clerk with no oil and water, but an alchemist comparable to Nicol Mailer, who has long been out of poverty and rich. Although you can say that Einstein also worked in the patent office, it is not that Xana belittles that Mr. Weasley, the two are really not comparable.
"It's what we repaired, don't think that only you can learn well."
Harry was sure that they didn't use anything special, that they had fixed it themselves.
"Forget it. So let's talk about the next thing, I want to stop the cold war between us. β
Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Xana was not ready to continue to investigate, and there will always be a day when things will be clarified. With a cough, Xana said something else, and that was to end the cold war with Harry.
Hermione had been persuading her for many days for this, and it wasn't until just now that Xana finally nodded in agreement. After all, I don't want to continue to be troubled by this kind of thing, but the most unhappy thing is that I take the initiative to give in.
"Sister Xana..."
Harry burst into tears.
"Stop! I didn't say I would admit to being your sister, and don't think I'm giving in. Don't you think this has been bothering Hermione and Ron too much lately? That's why I want a truce, not what you think. β
"Listen, until you find conclusive evidence, I will never admit that I am your sister. Until then, let's maintain the relationship between ordinary friends and classmates. If you agree, then there will be a truce from tomorrow, and if you don't, then I will see you fight again and again until you are no longer like an annoying fly. β
"Okay, Sister Xana. No problem, Sister Xana. β
Harry burst into tears +1, it seemed to him that Xana had softened and was now nothing more than tsundere.
