Single room salon,It's one of the service industries unique to the school city.。 If you want to describe it, it is similar to a luxuriously renovated karaoke room. Guests can rent it for as long as they want, and they can play freely and have parties in it, which is called a private room salon.

Eighty percent of the students living in the school city are students.,Most of them live in student dormitories and accept some degree of management.。 Therefore, whether it is during class or after school, the fact that they are "constantly watched by teachers or security guards" is to a certain extent a huge pressure on them. Therefore, it is only fitting that a studio salon can be used as a "secret base that can be bought with money".

However, because it also has the potential to become a breeding ground for mistakes and sexual crimes, this hands-off approach is not well evaluated. However,The fact that you can get a market by selling "free space" in itself,It's not an exaggeration to say that it symbolizes the social psychology of the school city.。

The building is a huge building with numbered rooms that are rented and sold as merchandise.

Such a building, with special floors that cannot be reached by ordinary elevators, is larger than other rooms, has more luxurious decoration and facilities, and is not something that can be used with money.

A small meeting is taking place in a "room specially prepared for special VIPs".

"Now, the 'Incapacitated Hunt' incident is now over......"

A young girl who put on a medical white robe over her Tokiwadai winter uniform has a wide sofa to herself at the moment.

In comparison, the three people sitting on the same sofa opposite her were very crowded.

In fact, according to the specifications of a normal person, four people sitting on the sofa may not be too short, but the man in the middle of the three people is as huge as a strong mountain orangutan, so the young man with a white face and a nose ring and a young man wrapped in a turban next to him have to sit sideways on the edge of the sofa.

Even so, Hamamen Shishang didn't have the slightest idea of wanting to change to sit next to the girl opposite.

While holding her arms, she kicked out Erlang's leg unscrupulously - the aura exuded by the white-robed girl silently expressed the meaning of "stay away from me".

However, there are other reasons for not wanting to sit down.

Due to the fact that the skirt of the Tokiwadai winter uniform is too short......

"This angle...... It's not good, it's not good, it's not good, it seems to be like it...... Ahh ”

In contrast to the hamami in the little chaos, the orangutan-like strong man Komaba Ride meticulously put his hands on the knees in front of him, shrunk in the middle of the sofa, his eyes stared straight at his toes, and listened carefully to the white-robed girl like a schoolboy.

"Hey, when did you give up your original ism?"

Hanzo leaned his back back on the couch and whispered to the chaotic Hamame through the huge Komaba Ride:

"Aren't you only interested in D and above? In the face of this airport, there is still the heart to peep? ”

"Woo! I didn't peek at this poor breasts bottoms! ”

Suddenly, the blue-faced and white-faced boy who was exposed let out a scream of unknown meaning, so the eyes of the orangutan man next to him and the white-robed girl opposite converged on him in an instant, and Hanzo on the other side couldn't stand it and held his forehead.

"I think I've heard something strange......

Unexpectedly, the white-robed girl opposite didn't have the reaction that ordinary girls should have. She just rolled her eyes, then gouged her ears with her little finger, and then continued to say to Komaba Lead:

“…… The institute that was tracked down is now closed, and the personnel dispatch directly responsible for the 'incapacitated hunt' will probably stay in prison for about 300 years......"

In the face of the girl who is not moving like a mountain, even Hamamian has a huge sense of loss.

"At the very least, give it to me! - 'Scream'......"

"And there are overseas gambling institutions involved, but because it is foreign, it seems to be difficult to trace......

"I didn't react at all, is this guy really a girl?"

“…… If you're in the school city, you also need your source of information.,I'll think of a way to go abroad.,Anyway, it's OK to uproot the relevant institutions.,I also hate cutting grass without roots.。 ”

"Is it possible that a woman with poor breasts is another creature......"

"......., that's it for now...... That's right, Komaba. ”

"Huh?"

The orangutan man, who had been silent, looked up, and then saw that the girl opposite was covered with green tendons like cantaloupe on her forehead.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing...... But since just now, the white-faced bastard next to you has been saying something inexplicable...... Can I beat him? ”

"No, he's just ......"

"Ahh ――”

Komaba Rider was about to say something, but the white-robed girl started to act before that.

Looking at Hama, who was slowly falling to the ground with shoe prints on his face, Komaba Ride shook his head, then closed his mouth.

"Whew-"

With a refreshed breath, Misaka sat back on the sofa, and then took a sip of the cup in front of her:

"So, that's how I handled this matter, what is your opinion?"

Previously, Misaka Miling semi-coercively reached some kind of agreement with Komaba Ride, roughly that Misaka Mirei would deal with the "Incapacitated Hunt" incident, and SKILLOUT was unable to carry out the original "Revenge on the Able" plan due to financial problems.

"But there's no guarantee that this will happen in the future."

Komaba Ride's deep voice was like a repeater, and he slowly spit out word by word:

"It's not just this incident, it's the case of 'the incapacitated being persecuted by the capable'."

The status and influence of the incapacitated in this city are the lowest.

People with great abilities do not necessarily have mature minds. In the end, superpowers have nothing to do with the nobility of personality, and it is not uncommon for people to have powerful abilities and evil thoughts at the same time.

There's nothing happier than risk-free violence.

That's what Komaba Leader was worried about, the essence of the problem.

"Oh? Do you really think so? ”

Mirei Misaka was stunned for a moment, then put the teacup back on the table, stared at Komaba Ride's face with interest and said:

"But what I often see on the message boards on the Internet is that the capable people are attacked by you 'skillout' messages, and they are all bullied by more and less...... The online call for 'skillout' is also known as a 'call for justice'. ”

Komaba Rider tightened his lips.

In a sense, the girl's words are right.

In fact, the reason why the incapacitated were attacked was within the skillout.

That's because they were the ones who shot at the capable ones in the first place.

That being said, there was no actual fight. It's like a minor quarrel. Because there are many people in skillout, it is rare for the bad boys to win.

But......

"What a joke! We, the powerless and weak, are treated as fools wherever we go, and even if we get our own nests, we are all ruined in the name of beautifying the landscape."

The shore, which had been lying on the ground, slowly moved.

“…… Even if that wasn't enough, those who were able to justify their violence ......"

Hamamian stared at the girl in white robe with wide eyes:

"If you hadn't taken advantage of the chaos to steal our activity funds, our plan would have made those who could afford it pay the price."

"And then give the Ables a better excuse to launch a new attack?"

Mirei Misaka was dismissive of Hama's words.

"Ah, yes, if you want to say that, that's it." Hamame gritted his teeth and said, "If there is no way out but revenge, we will continue to do it." This city of the jungle has reached the point where there is no place for us who are weak! ”

Hearing what seemed to be a monologue, the corners of Mirei Misaka's mouth curled up slightly.

"Huh? As far as I can tell, it's not what you say. ”

“？”

"I also know a lot of incapable people, all of them go to school normally, make friends normally, and live an ordinary life...... Everywhere you go, you're treated like a fool? A weak person who has no place to stay? Thinking this way, you yourself are the one who regards the incompetent as stupid and weak the most, right? ”

"This ......"

"Let me ask you: whether you are capable or incapable, if someone asks you for help, will you lend a hand?"

“……”

"Can't answer...... It's so boring, who will help someone who doesn't want to help! Who cares about a person who only takes his own happiness for granted, but does not think about the happiness of others at all! At the end of the day, it's all your own problem! ”

The current Hamamen Shishang is too weak.

Misaka sighed in her heart.

"So, that's where the gap between you and Komaba is."

Ignoring Hamami, who bowed his head and was silent, Mirei Misaka turned her head to look at Komaba Ritoku, who had not said a word since just now.

"Come on, then, let me hear your thoughts, and I'll use this as a reference to start the next step."

Hearing the girl's words, Komaba Ride didn't speak immediately.

Slowly stand up, walk to the huge floor-to-ceiling glass window, and pull the curtain open all in one go.

Sunlight instantly illuminates the large room.

Komaba Leader didn't look back, and just said to himself as if talking to himself outside the window:

"The calls for legitimate revenge on the Internet that you mentioned have a lot of half-joking responses. However, due to the actions of many powerful people, the incident continued to escalate. In this escalating state of affairs, it doesn't matter if the person concerned is or not, they just want to make a big fuss, they want to fight with people, they just want to release the pressure with zero risk and no guilt......"

Komaba's voice suddenly changed subtly:

But this revenge is not limited to skillout. As long as you are incapable, as long as you walk too far on the street and show off a little, you will be pointed at. It wasn't the armed Skillout members who were killed. These are the incapable who have no sin in the truest sense of the word...... Originally, those who were able only had the idea that it would be unforgivable to be tricked by the incapable once. I'm afraid that even the spear bearers themselves don't know where their spearheads are directed......"

Komaba Leader turned from the sunlight and said slowly:

"Therefore, the 'incapacitated are attacked' must be stopped."

Hamame stared blankly at Komaba Ridder in the bright light.

He had always believed that Komaba Ride's plan was to take revenge on the mighty, and he was proud of the many actions he had carried out with this purpose.

But now that I think about it, how ...... I am

Stingy?

That's right, it's stingy, the amount of gas is small, and the family is angry.

Although he has been doing the same thing all along, why this orangutan-like man can become the leader of everyone, Hamame finally has a real understanding at this time.

He has what he doesn't have.

This man called Komaba has a world much wider than his own.

So he never said anything "weak", because in his eyes, the incompetent are "companions".

Such a foala deserves the respect of his peers.

Komaba Ride stared at the white-robed girl's eyes and said:

"I don't believe you can use a salon like this, and you don't have any background. And you deliberately set the meeting place here, which is also what you mean by trying to show me what you are capable of. ”

The girl who was so touched seemed to be a little embarrassed to scratch her short brown hair, and replied with a "hey, hey, hey" laugh:

"Well, that's a little bit of a thing. More importantly, I want you to know that you are not alone. Although it can't be put on the bright side.,But in the school city, from council members to ordinary guards and teachers,There are people who are paying close attention to the survival of the incapable.,Now this situation will soon change.,Give students the right to vote or something, and some council members have begun to put it forward.,Things have been developing in a good place after all...... However, "

Misaka Meiling paused, and said:

"But,The status and image of the incompetent in the school city,It's not something that can be solved by adults.,If you want to find a way,,I'm ......"

"That's why we have a sense of existence."

Komaba Rido interrupted Mirei Misaka's words.

"Thank you very much. If we had to rely on others to do this kind of thing, we Skillout would really be an organization that started a riot to blackmail girls. ”

Misaka nodded at him.

There was no need to say anything more, his meaning had been fully conveyed to the man, and he knew what he had to do. This guy named Komaba Raider is not at all as rough as he looks, but surprisingly cautious, and he is capable, conscious, and knows how to judge the situation, and he is really a great person.

As if to indicate that the meeting has come to an end, it means that the doorbell of the service rings at the right time. The salon, like the karaoke room, can be ordered through the internal phone. In addition, there is a refrigerator in this large room.

The white-robed girl happily sent the waiter away, and then pushed the dining cart in.

"Why is it all fruit? Isn't there anything decent to eat? ”

Looking at the food truck full of tropical fruits that were so bright that people wondered if they were poisonous, Hamamian couldn't help but scream:

"Ah, I'm glad there's a fried fish ......"

Before he could reach for the charred fried fish, someone rushed to the target.

"I'm sorry, but the fried fish is mine."

The white-robed girl held the plate in one hand and began to throw the fried fish into her mouth with the other:

"I haven't eaten lunch yet, and I still have a job in the evening...... It's really hard to get paid overtime for all kinds of overtime. ”

"Don't ignore me, you guy! You did it on purpose, right? Definitely, right? Isn't eating fruit as a meal something that only women who are losing weight do? ”

"Huh? This is the most appropriate food I have prepared for you! Orangutans and monkeys must like fruits, right? I heard that the orangutan was on the verge of extinction in Rwanda due to the civil war, but it's surprising that it now inhabits the school city......

Facing the girl who spewed out fierce poison unscrupulously, Hamamian Shishang felt that the image of the boss in his heart was tarnished, so he turned back angrily-

"Boss! Hanzo! ”

Komaba Ridder, who had just peeled a banana, and Hanzo, who was tapping a coconut, looked up blankly at the same time:

"Huh?" X2

“……”

It shouldn't be like this.

Hamamian was half-kneeling on the floor and trying desperately to calm himself down.

As if to comfort the lost Hama, a hand was placed on his shoulder.

When I looked back, what greeted my pupils was the healing smile of the white-robed girl like an angel:

"Now, it was rude, sorry."

Hama, who was confused because of the big gap in the other party's attitude, got up stupidly, and then, immediately found that the other party handed over a plate-

"Here, as compensation, this is for you."

It's filled with peeled pineapples cut into small pieces, and they're carefully tied with toothpicks to make it easier to eat.

“…… Thank you. ”

This guy is not bad......

Thinking about it as he threw the pineapple chunks into his mouth, the unique sweetness of the ripe pineapple made Hamame feel that the other party seemed to be less hateful.

When he turned his head to look at the white-robed girl, he found that the other party was slamming the floor desperately while letting out a silent wild laugh.

"I've been tricked, ahh
