"What? Shopping for clothes? Why do such superfluous things? If you need to, just ask, I'll be ready!"

"Mainly with friends, and I don't need to buy any clothes myself."

"Whatever is fine, it just so happens that I have been free lately......"

"That's not what it means. You see, I can't just wear clothes to go out, at least I have to buy my own pajamas or something, right? ”

"Sleep, pajamas? yes, why didn't I think of that? And this aspect! Is our little princess free? I came up with some new ideas......"

"Ah, hey? Miss Tachiki, did you hear that? The signal seems to have deteriorated, and I can't hear it clearly. Well, let's get to it first. ”

Dome cut off the call and stared straight at her phone. After a moment, he shivered coldly, as if he had even reacted a beat slower.

Limu's last words made her feel like she had accidentally dug her own grave.

No, it's not a matter of feeling, it's really digging your own grave. It can be distinguished from the words of the standing tree.

"Hey...... Haha......"

Dome let out a feeble laugh. Now, it is estimated that I can only accept my fate. After all, a contract was signed, and there was no way to refuse anything.

"How...... What's wrong? ...... Umihara"

"No, it's nothing. It's just that I've run into some trouble......"

Qiong Nai hurriedly shook his head, it's better not to be known about this kind of thing.

"Speaking of which, Shirai-san didn't come."

Indeed it is. Even though it had been planned in advance, Shirai Kuroko was not able to come. Although it is not that this situation was not expected......

It's okay, with Shirai's taste, I'm afraid that if I come, I'm going to make some trouble.

"Here, here."

Saten Tears looked quite happy, and even ran up without waiting for the escalator to arrive.

"Is there anything you'd like to see in the early spring?"

"Hmm...... Nothing particular to see......"

"So, do you want to see the simplest?" Dome tapped her fingers on her cheek and chuckled. "According to Ms. Tateki, the most important thing is to use the simplest clothes to match the most suitable effect for me."

"Huh? Is it okay for me to do this? ”

"Of course. This is different from the requirements of the models on the catwalk, where the models on the catwalk are for the garments, and our requirements are for the garments to serve us. The tendencies of the two are not the same, so they should not be confused. ”

"Oh! I know I know, that's it, right? This is the way to show the charm of not compromising with the world in a way that suits you best. ”

Saten tears clenched his fists.

"Don't take this kind of self-satisfied slogan of Miss Tachiki seriously." Dome shook her hand, "Actually, I asked her not to make some over-the-top costumes, and to be as ordinary as possible." So she came up with something like this as a propaganda slogan. ”

"What? Is that the truth? I've been studying for a long time! ”

"But it's true that the simplest outfit is the most insightful. Isn't it true that the design of our Tokiwadai school uniform is also very simple? The more common it is, the more unaware it is, and this is often the case. ”

As she spoke, the four girls looked left and right in the mall. Suddenly, Saten seemed to have discovered something.

"Early spring, come here!"

"How...... What's wrong? ”

"Boom! How about something like this? ”

"No, no, no, how can you wear such a thing!"

"Even if I lift my skirt when I wear this, I can show the people around me in a dignified manner, right?"

"Please don't let anyone else see it! Please don't lift it up! ”

The conversation made Dome press his forehead slightly. By now, she could somewhat understand the interaction between Hatsuharu and Saten.

"Oops, what a pity. Ah, Misaka-senpai, is there anything you'd like to see? ”

"Huh? That's right, I'd like to take a look at pajamas and stuff. ”

"Well, this is it."

The pajama counter was actually right next to them, quite close to them. However, Dome had no intention of choosing pajamas with them. Speaking of which, she would like to buy a pair of shoes. Due to the weight she exerts on her body on weekdays, her shoes are more seriously damaged.

Turning around, she saw an unexpected person.

(Ah, it was a fight with Misaka-san...... ）

Dome tilted her head slightly. This is the women's clothing section, why is he here?

"Oh, you're the ...... that Bilibili is with"

Just as he was puzzled, the young man saw her first and said hello as if it were natural. In this case, Dome also bowed politely.

"Well, you're still so serious. How? Coming to buy something? ”

They had only met once, but the boy's attitude seemed to be unfamiliar at all. Indeed, there are such people, and no matter who they are, they can communicate with each other relatively easily.

"Well, sort of. This time, I'm here to accompany Misaka-san to buy something. ”

As she spoke, Qiongno turned her head and happened to see Mikoto Misaka gesturing in front of the mirror with a pink toddler pajamas.

"What are you doing? Bilibili. ”

"Huh? For why you're here! ”

Although this question was a little strange, the boy just asked casually, and it was really surprising that Mikoto's reaction was so big.

"What can't I do?"

That's not wrong, but it's not a decent answer. Obviously, the teenager was just casually perfunctory.

"Big brother!" At this moment, a little girl ran over and stood still in front of Mai Trito. Then, "Ah, it's Tokiwadai's big sister!" ”

There were only two Tokiwadai students here, but Qiongno didn't remember ever seeing this girl. So, she should be referring to Mikoto Misaka. Having said that, first called the young big brother, and then called the big sister Mai Trin, I really don't know how to calculate this confused account.

"Hmm...... It's the one who lost the bag...... Wait, do you have a sister? ”

"No, no. The kid said she wanted to find a dress shop, so I just brought her here. ”

(I see.) In this way, he is really a kind person. ）

Increasingly, Dono felt that it was very unfortunate for him to meet Mai Trito. If it were anyone else, I am afraid that there would be no conflict with him. Unfortunately, Mikoto Misaka is an exception.

That said, though, it's a bit of a faux pas for Mikoto.

"Well, my big brother brought me here. That way, I can dress up like I did on TV. ”

The little girl spun around in a circle as she spoke.

"That's right, so how about my sister pick one for you?"

In this part, the dome lacks some realism. As a reader model, she naturally wears dresses. Although she has never been keen on dresses, there are not many people who can compare to her vision for choosing dresses.

"That's right, it's beautiful and cute now."

Mai Trin also reached out and gently touched the little girl's head. But at this time, the boy came up with a completely superfluous sentence.

"It's different from someone wearing shorts."

“！”

Mai Tamin and Dome were shocked at the same time. Dome even reached out and pressed her skirt before realizing that the other party was not talking about herself.

"What? Want to fight? Then the duel that hung in the air before is here......"

"Is that all you have on your mind?!"

"Misaka-san! Wait, it's ...... store."

Seeing that they were really going to have a conflict, Dome quickly interjected.

"yes, are you going to fight in a crowded place like this?"

Sure enough, when these two people got together, they naturally made some noise. That's a ......

"That's right, speaking of last time......" She coughed softly, changing the subject. Most of those items you forgot to pick up last time can't be stored for long, so I'll take them home. This is the payment for the goods. ”

Dome took out a few banknotes from a small wallet and handed them over. It's just that it seems to be much higher than the price of those goods at the time.

"Uh-oh! I've almost forgotten about it! That's right, that's right, I've been so embarrassed lately, I've been saved...... Ahhhh!!h ”

Before the boy could take the banknote, Mikoto reached out and took the money directly from Dono's hand.

"Less wordy!"

It looks like the two are going to quarrel again. However, it is probably impossible to do it in the store. At least this is a little bit of proportion, and Dome believes that Mikoto Misaka still has it.

He nodded his forehead slightly, trying to find a reason to ask for such a nourishing quarrel. Just then, Donino's cell phone rang. She took out her phone and looked at the caller.

(Huh?) Is it an older brother? ）

Signaling to the boy and Mikoto with an apologetic look, Dome stepped aside to answer the phone.

No sound.

It's not that there's no answer, it's that the phone seems to be completely ineffective.

“？”

As a city that has been ahead of the outside world in technology for decades, the technology of communication is no exception. Therefore, it is almost impossible for this kind of mobile phone to suddenly fail to talk.

However, it's unlikely that Mitsuki Umihara would do such a thing, right?

Hanging up the phone, Dome switched to a text message asking for it. Soon, a reply was sent. But seeing this reply, Dome was even more confused.

It was a completely garbled text message.

What's going on?

After a moment's thought, she turned to Mikoto and the boy, who were still arguing. The bills that Mai Trin was holding looked like they were about to fly as her hands swayed up and down.

"Misaka-san." "I went out to answer a phone call, and there seemed to be something wrong with the signal here," she said. ”

_

Even when I walked out of the store, nothing seemed to have changed. Still unable to get in touch with Haiyuan Guanggui, the phone is silent, and the text messages are all garbled.

I really don't understand what it's all about. After several attempts in a row, Dome had to give up his efforts. She wondered who was available at this point, and she wanted to try to call someone else to see if it was normal.

That's when ......

Airplanes~~~

There was a burst of "voices" that no one heard, and no one perceived, that was not a voice.

Except for Dome himself, he couldn't notice it at all. In this way, for most people, the sound is indistinguishable from not existing.

But at this moment, the blood in Qiongna's whole body seemed to be about to freeze.

Because this sound "sounded" to her like the resonance of some kind of string vibration.

It's like an indescribable, special string tone.
