The Invisible World (7)
"It's so slow, Zuo Tian and Chu Chun. The collection is here, right? ”
"My sister too, why are you so enthusiastic."
"That's why I said it, it was Kaihara-san who asked me. Who made Hoshikawa-san sick? Moreover, Kaihara-san will only be a little late. ”
"Cut, it's obviously an invitation made by yourself, but I'm late."
"Okay, don't complain, they're your friends too, right? Even if it wasn't for Kaihara-san's invitation, you would have been there, right? ”
Mikoto Misaka gently patted Kuroko Shirai on the back of the head.
"Hmm! Sure enough, my sister and Kuroko are of the same heart! Woo...... Why did my sister hit me? ”
"Too much trouble to explain. In short, it is to nip the trouble in the bud. ”
Mai Koto said with her fists clenched hard.
It's a little weird, but that's how they interact with each other on a daily basis.
They are now waiting for the arrival of Saten Tears and Hatsuharu Mori at the gate of Tokiwadai School.
Having said that, this was actually an invitation made by Umihara Dono, and she was supposed to be there herself. But unexpectedly, her roommate was hospitalized for the past two days, so she had to go to the hospital once a day after school. This caused her to be unable to catch up in time, so she asked Mikoto Misaka.
But in fact, Mikoto and them are also good friends, even if there is no dome of the dome, she will be there.
This is also true for Kuroko Shirai.
"Ah, here it is."
Fortunately, almost at the same time, the voice of Zuotian's tears came.
"Sorry, we're late."
"It's slow. Ay? What's going on? ”
"Ahaha, I had a little accident and stepped into a puddle."
Zuo Tian said as he pinched the corners of his soaked skirt.
_
"Even if you suddenly say you want to change your clothes, you can only prepare to this extent."
"No, no, that's enough."
"How's the size? Is it appropriate? ”
"It's just right, but the skirt is a little short and cool."
"Hey ......"
Mikoto looked up and down at Saten, who had changed into a Tokiwadai school uniform, and this school uniform was indeed unexpectedly suitable for her.
"Saten-san is so cunning. By the way, swap my uniform! That's it! ”
Hatsuharu, who has a certain eccentric tendency, put his face on Saten, who has changed into a Tokiwadai school uniform, and begins to rub hard.
"It's too small!"
"Then I'll tread puddles too!"
"Stop!"
Watching the two interact rather interestingly, Mikoto and Shirai looked at each other and smiled.
"Ah, yes. I don't think I saw Kaihara-san. ”
Zuotian, who pushed away the early spring with one hand, asked.
"Kaihara-san will arrive a little late. It's okay, I'll let her know the meeting place when the time comes. ”
Mai Trin said.
"Huh? Can I help you? ”
"There was some small accident, her roommate suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized."
"Kaihara-san's ...... Roommates? Saten thought for a moment, "That's what I mentioned last time, Hoshikawa-san?" ”
"Well, let's go ahead with the plan first."
Anyway, it seems that I've been running into something related to Hoshikawa-san lately? It's as if there was some kind of coincidence.
Even though she had left Tokiwadai, Mikoto Misaka still felt that something was not right.
"I've already washed my soiled uniform, so remember to take it when you come back."
"If you find it troublesome, you can also send it directly to your dormitory."
"Wow, Tokiwadai is worthy of it, what a great feeling!"
Is it really just some kind of coincidence?
Although I know that I am afraid that I am over-interpreting, but Hoshikawa, a classmate, has always made Mai Tamin a little difficult to understand recently.
Was she such a complicated child before?
To be honest, before the Tokiwadai Gymnasium incident, Mikoto was completely unfamiliar with her. This kid who always likes to hide behind Kaihara-san's seems to be trying to avoid attracting attention as much as possible, which is very rare in Tokiwadai, which is generally more like to be in the limelight. It is precisely because of this that before the gymnasium incident, no one had ever thought that she would be such a powerful person. (Note: Mai Trin was not aware of the circumstances that preceded the Stadium incident.) Unintentional sudden ability improvement is a confidential topic of Tokiwadai research, and it is confidential to ordinary students.)
In this respect, it is very similar to Kaihara's classmates. Obviously a very good person, but he doesn't like to show himself very much.
It seems that this type of girl is more popular with boys? Naturally, Kaihara-san doesn't need to mention it, listening to the senior sister, Hoshikawa-san seems to have a lot of invisible fans. In comparison, he seems to be just a guy who is more attracted to the sunspot. Sure enough, girls are still more reserved and more likable?
It's a pity that even she knows it herself, and she will never learn that way. She's not without that kind of personality.
The bee-eater said that she was just abusing her ability because she was strong, and she naturally didn't think so. But then again, I've recently started to think that I'm not using my abilities too recklessly on weekdays.
Although she didn't want to admit it, the bee-eating words still made her mind a little.
Are you really the kind of person who likes to abuse power?
Isn't it possible that annoying guy has been avoiding himself because of this? Think you're the kind of person who abuses violence......
Wrong wrong! Why did you think of this!
Mikoto Misaka, who came back to her senses, shook her head desperately.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Tokiwadai hunter?"
Although he knew that Mitsuki Umihara was worried about himself, Dono had always been curious about his source of information. It seems that he can always be the first to get information that many people involved may not know.
"Well, yes. Although the ability is unknown, but judging from the current information, it should be a figure who will not be seen. ”
From there came the sound of flipping through the papers. Could it be that in such a short period of time, he had already collected such detailed things? It's incredible.
"Invisible...... Is the ability of the Department of Optics? ”
"Probably. But not necessarily, because the ability of the optical department usually has a limit when hiding themselves, you should know, right? ”
"Well, because of the difference in the environment, it's easy to see the flaws, right?"
Of course Dome knows this. The way in which the optical ability hides itself is, to put it bluntly, to refract the light around him. The principle is the same as optical camouflage, which is very easy to understand. However, its limitation is also close to that of optical camouflage, that is, it is easy to reveal flaws by changing the refractive angle of the surrounding light in real time according to complex environmental changes. It would be nice to stand still, but since an attack is going to be carried out, it is obviously impossible to stand still.
After all, people can't pay attention to every detail around them all the time.
"Yes. At least for now, no one has noticed an anomaly. ”
"It's really weird. If it's a common optical ability, then at the level of Tokiwadai students, it shouldn't be overlooked. ”
It's not that Dome is biased towards his classmates at school, but it's that Tokiwadai's students can't make such a mistake. You know, Tokiwadai itself even has an optical ability of up to LV.4. Coupled with the fact that Tokiwadai often conducts coordination training sessions, it is easy to identify such a common and simple ability.
In fact, due to Tokiwadai's coordinated curriculum, it is difficult to hide common abilities from Tokiwadai students. Some people may be negligent, but it is impossible for so many people to make the same mistakes.
"Dome Nai, it's best to fly for the latest contacts. I know you don't like to be eye-catching, but this time it's for security reasons. ”
Mitsuki Haihara's suggestion is indeed appropriate at this stage when the situation is unclear. At least, he didn't believe that the Tokiwadai hunter had the ability to fly like the Dome.
"But...... I made an appointment with my friends today ......"
Although she understood her brother's thoughts, at least today, it was difficult for her to do so.
She could hear the voice of Mitsuki Haihara on the other side of the phone sighing slightly.
"I'd love to persuade you to say no once, but you probably won't listen."
For what has been promised, the Dome will never break it. Mitsuki Umihara knows this best.
"I'm sorry, brother......"
She said guiltily. It always makes her feel bad to let her loved ones worry about such things.
"I'll figure out what I can do about it."
Mitsuki Umihara seemed to have said something very strange, could it be that he was planning something?
Before he could inquire in detail, another call came in from Dono's mobile phone. She had to temporarily let go of the doubts in her heart, and simply said goodbye to Mitsuki Haihara and switched routes.
This call was from a friend who met not long ago after marriage.
Habitually reaching out to pull her hair behind her ear, she switched her phone to her right hand and pushed open the side door of the hospital with her left hand.
"Haiyuan, where are you now?"
On the phone, it was the voice of Mitsuko who seemed to be a little anxious after marriage.
"Still in the hospital. But the visit is over, so I'll go to the dim sum shop later, and I'll make an appointment with someone today. ”
"Is there an appointment? Can you wait a minute? There are some troubles, but I would like to hear Hoshikawa's opinion. Ah, I know Hoshikawa-san may not be convenient now, but if it doesn't work, it's okay. ”
"What's wrong? Married classmates. ”
"I think I might have been attacked before."
Dome Nai's movements suddenly stopped.
Naturally, she immediately thought of the Tokiwadai hunter she had just told her brother.
"Please wait a minute, classmate. If I'm not mistaken, is it someone who can't be seen? ”
"So you already know? Also, Tokiwadai is in a lot of trouble right now, so someone should tell you. ”
There may seem to be some minor misunderstandings, but that's okay, that's not the point right now.
"After marriage, there is one thing I am more concerned about." Dome looked at the time, "Can you tell me how you found out?" Also, how long ago and where did it happen? ”
"Did you think of something?"
"Well, I have some guesses here. If so, maybe we can help. Until then, I'd like to ask, is the bee-eater student in school now? ”
She was referring to another LV.5 in Tokiwadai.
"Wait a minute." The marriage queen on the other end of the phone seemed to turn her head and ask who it was, and about a minute later, she continued to reply to Doni, "It should be absent, it seems to say that there is an appointment." ”
Dome frowned slightly, this answer was not what she wanted to hear now.
She now somewhat guessed what kind of ability that "Tokiwadai Hunter" had, so she didn't ask the LV.4 optical ability of Tokiwadai, but asked about Tokiwadai's strongest psychic ability.
This is a very simple inference. As Mitsuki Umihara said, although it is not impossible for those with optical abilities to hide their figures, it is actually very difficult not to reveal flaws. But if you don't consider the ability of the Department of Optics, such a thing will seem to be taken for granted in the eyes of many capable people.
For example, the bee-eating prayer of Tokiwadai. If she wants to, it is very common for others to lose sight of herself, as long as she manipulates the other party and makes the other party ignore her.
However, she didn't think that "Tokiwadai Hunter" would be able to do this. The reason is very simple, she can roughly guess how Photon found each other after marriage. If the other party can be like the bee-eating exercise, it is obvious that he can also ignore the abnormality of the wind caused by himself after marriage. Obviously, the "Tokiwadai hunter" can't do this.
In other words, what the other party can interfere with should only be the visual recognition of others. Although it cannot be said that there is no other possibility......
Thinking of this, she suddenly realized a problem.
"I'm sorry, marital classmate. Give me a few minutes. ”
She hung up and dialed another number.
