The Invisible World (1)
When I arrived at the Tokiwadai dormitory, it was about half an hour later. This is because the place where the four of them met was close to the Tokiwadai dormitory, and the dormitory in Tokiwadai was deliberately chosen in a place with developed transportation.
After entering the main entrance, the wide courtyard is immediately revealed.
Since it was already summer, the courtyard of the Tokiwadai dormitory was bathed in the summer sun.
The grassy courtyard glistens in the sunlight against the backdrop of the red faΓ§ade of the Tokiwadai dormitory.
The neat and level lawn stretches out like a carpet, and there are some trees planted at the edge of the lawn. I don't know the variety, but it's neat and beautiful. Although it is not too tall and stout, it has a tall and pretty posture. Especially when you stand on the ground and look up, it looks even more elegant against the red wall and the blue sky, and it can indeed remind people of a beautiful and strong girl.
This is a courtyard that does not have many ingenuity, but it is bright and quiet. It doesn't seem lonely, but it can't say anything more than nothing.
This is not something that ordinary student dormitories can have, and this alone shows the positioning of Tokiwadai.
A hallway extends from the main entrance of the dormitory building to the main entrance, dividing the courtyard into two. The white aisle looks like it was cut out of a single boulder. The texture looks like a rock, but if you touch it, you will have the illusion that it is covered with a layer of gray. However, the students who live here know that the stone path is absolutely not covered with anything, and it does not become slippery even when it rains. This is because it is not made of materials such as rocks, but is made of nanofibers and then cast in one go using building materials developed by Tokiwadai's research institute.
This is also a reflection of the other side of Tokiwadai as one of the world's top universities.
Unlike the rest of the school city, Tokiwadai's dormitory seems quiet. There was no sound except the murmuring of cicadas. In such a simple arrangement, it expresses its own unique charm.
"Wow! It's beautiful!"
"It's really a student dormitory in Tokiwadai, and even the garden is so beautiful."
"Sure enough, it's the school of the eldest ladies, and it looks so tasteful."
Faced with the exaggerated reaction of Hatsuharu and Saten (especially Hatsuharu), Mikoto and Dono could only look at each other and smile bitterly.
It can only be said that Tokiwadai's name is so great that it has been exaggerated in many ways.
For example, since Tokiwadai prohibits students from wearing makeup, most of Tokiwadai's students have learned to use makeup that is so light that it is almost impossible to see with health-care products, so that even if they are discovered, there is an excuse to find.
Really, it's all about self-comforting. After all, what's the point of makeup that can't be seen? But even so, Tokiwadai's students insisted on their own opinions, and the element of showing their rebellious side was far more effective than it actually was. After all, girls at this age are so tightly restricted that they will always find ways to resist - even if it is completely meaningless.
Of course, there are many reasons for this school rule itself. Superpower development courses need to avoid being disturbed by uncertain factors, and drugs are naturally one of them. The ingredients of the cosmetics are so cluttered that no one can tell what's inside. There was a time when health care products were also mixed into cosmetics and were openly used in the name of various medicinal cosmetics, and this regulation was formulated when it was really impossible to prevent it.
As far as Qiong Nai knows, in fact, most of the teachers know about this matter, but they just deliberately turn a blind eye. In such an innocuous place, it's also a good thing to let students release their emotions a little. In fact, the school and students are quite helpless.
However, it was the product of this helplessness that a small trend was formed in the area around Tokiwadai Junior High School, and everyone gave this makeup technique a subtle name: "Lady's Gift".
People will always unconsciously think that what they want is too beautiful, and it is completely wrong.
Walk through the gate, and behind the gate is a wide hall. Unlike the elegance of the courtyard, the interior is decorated like a mansion.
"It's really nice on the outside, but it's always a bit cheesy inside this dormitory, and the style is too different."
"Misaka-san, in fact, this dormitory was commissioned to be built by a company outside the school building. Although the exterior and courtyard were similar to the one in the garden of the school, it seems that they misunderstood the style needed for the interior design at that time, and as a result, this situation occurred. β
"Is that so? I've always thought it was strange that such a bright color scheme felt like an explosive household. β
"I can't say that, at least it's good for spotting infiltrators."
"A infiltrator of a Tokiwadai institution with the ability to run into armed teeth would be bored enough to infiltrate the girls' dormitory? What a terrible pervert this is. β
"Yike...... If you say that, I'll lose. β
Of course, these words of Mikoto and Dono, Hatsuharu and Saten couldn't understand them. In their opinion, this is already quite impressive.
"Wait a minute, I'll go to the cafeteria."
"Now?"
Dome was a little surprised, judging from the time period, it shouldn't be dinner time.
"Well, it's not. Just go buy a few cans of drinks. β
In Mai Trin's usual style, she is more accustomed to going to a certain drink machine to get a free drink. Today, because I was bumped into by my classmates, it is naturally inconvenient to do this again. In fact, it's fine if it's Shirai Kuroko, but in front of Dome No, even she has to be careful not to let her behavior be too outrageous.
Because the so-called free drink is actually made by knocking on the malfunctioning vending machine to make the drink fall out. Obviously, this is a form of theft. But the reason why this is so is because she was once eaten by that machine for 10,000 yuan.
By the way, Mikoto is not the only one who will do this, but there are many students in Tokiwadai who are used to doing this. Of course, these ladies naturally don't lack these little money, and most of their reasons for doing this are the same as Mai Trina.
From this detail, it can be seen that among these eldest ladies of Tokiwadai, there are not a few who are cautious.
"So, can we go together too?"
"Huh? Early spring classmates? This one...... Don't bother, I'll be back soon. β
Hatsuharu ornament shook his head desperately.
"No trouble, no trouble, no trouble at all! Right? Saten-san. β
Although he said that, the early spring of his hands on the shoulders of Saten, who was taller than himself, simply wrote the words "no refusal" on his face at this time. (That being said, none of the four people present were shorter than her.) οΌ
Seeing them like this, Dome smiled knowingly. She turned to Mai Trin and said.
"Speaking of which, won't Misaka-san take Saten-san and Hatsuharu-san to visit the dormitory?"
"Is that so? Of course you can. β
Although I don't really understand the intention of the dome, of course Mikoto will not refuse something like this.
With the Tokiwadai dormitory as the base color of white as the background, the four of them wander around the dormitory under the guidance of Mikoto. It is estimated that due to the fact that the school uniforms of Hatsuharu and Saten are more conspicuous here, some students will keep their eyes on them from time to time.
Of course, there is a large part of the reason......
"Misaka-sama, are you with Umihara-sama today?"
"Just inviting them to come along." Mai Trin waved her hand. "It's not a big deal."
Or......
"Huh? Umihara-sama? Lost lost faux pas!!"
"Gui'an." Dome bowed softly, "Please don't be too restrained. β
Etcetera.
In the face of the classmates they meet from time to time, Mikoto and Dome respond in their own ways.
Mikoto just greeted her classmates casually but unobtrusively, while Qiongno returned the salute with a formal attitude. Such a contrast makes the two celebrities of Tokiwadai even more distinct in terms of personality and way of dealing with the world.
From this point of view, it can be seen that there is indeed a difference between the way Mai Koto and the Qiongno look at the problem.
This can be seen even by Zuotian and Hatsuharu.
"Don't you think Misaka-san and Umihara-san seem to be very popular?"
Saten whispered to Hatsuharu.
"Because they're all famous? It doesn't seem quite right. β
"Saten-san? Early spring classmates? What's wrong? β
The earnest whispers between the two seemed to be noticed by the dome.
"No, nothing. We were just thinking that Misaka-san and Kaihara-san live in such a place on weekdays......"
Zoten sighed.
"No, it's not." Before Dome could answer, Mai Koto denied it, "Kuroko and I do live here, but Kaihara-san is in the garden of the schoolhouse. β
"Well, I'm from another dorm."
"Is this a dormitory just one of them?"
As students at an ordinary middle school, Hatsuharu and Saten obviously don't know much about Tokiwadai's unimaginable way of doing things. I always feel that this level of dormitory, one school actually has two, which is really an exaggeration.
"Well, the other one is in the Garden of the Academy. It's a little smaller than here, but it also feels better than here. It doesn't look as ostentatious as it looks like here, but the taste is much better than here. β
Although Mai Trito just said it casually, her eyes were already shining in the early spring.
"The Garden of the Academy...... It's the ...... where Tokiwadai is."
"That being said, there are a lot of troublesome things in the Academy, after all, there are a lot of confidentiality agreements involved."
Dome interjected. She doesn't want to describe one thing too pretty, because things often have two sides. Even though she has a close relationship with Tokiwadai, she doesn't intend to make a one-sided description to others.
In fact, Tokiwadai itself is just one part of a vast system driven by demand, not an idealized school as many people imagine. Dono's father had said this for a long time, and she was able to agree with it.
However, she has no intention of elaborating on this. Because she really didn't have the confidence to be able to explain the concepts of this field of sociology and economics clearly, which was not her field of expertise.
"But it's still a great feeling?"
Of course, judging from Chu Chun's reaction, she may not be able to understand it even more.
"So, Chuchun, Zuotian, do you want to come to the garden of the school house to have a look?"
Dome smiled and made an invitation.
"Huh? May I? Can it really be? Is it okay for the common people like us? β
Hatsuharu had a surprised expression, as if he couldn't believe that he would receive such an invitation.
What kind of existence did Tokiwadai and the Garden of Gakusha look like in her mind? Dome couldn't help but think so.
I had heard about it when Ms. Tateki invited me to be a student model, but I didn't expect it to be misinterpreted like this.
The eldest lady of Tokiwadai Junior High School is the object of yearning for all the girls in the school city.,It's very natural.γ However, most people don't know exactly what kind of life the students of Tokiwadai Junior High School live, so some fanatics who yearn too much for an aristocratic girls' school delve into a strange direction, and finally it becomes an inexplicable situation.
In fact, the reason why Tokiwadai asks students to have more contact with society is not only to prevent students from becoming ignorant of the world, but also to dispel such misunderstandings for schools. Of course, this reason is not something that students can know.
"Absolutely. However, there is a non-disclosure agreement and visitors are required to apply in advance. Let me do this, Chu Chun and Zuo Tian just need to prepare for the visit. β
Dome said with a smile.
"Is that so? That's great! Right? Satian, we can also go to the garden of the school! That's the garden of the ladies!"
Hatsuharu jerked his head up, his hands clenched as if he were in a victory pose.
"This ...... Hatsuchun, calm down......" Now, Saten in turn pressed his hands on Hatsuharu's shoulders. After looking at Mikoto and Qiongno who were walking in front, and confirming that they hadn't noticed this side while they were discussing the time schedule at that time, she whispered, "However, if Misaka-san doesn't look like an eldest lady, then Kaihara-san is the kind of idealized eldest lady, right?" β
"That's right, yes, both of them are so kind, I really didn't expect it at all."
Hatsuharu immediately agreed.
"Well, but Kaihara-san...... I don't know why, but I seem to have a sense of dΓ©jΓ vu. What's going on? β
Saten frowned and began to think about it.
During this time, the four of them passed through the hall again, from the central staircase to the dormitory on the second floor of the dormitory. The entire dormitory is covered with a red carpet, even the second floor, which looks quite luxurious. However, it is said that the rug is made of high-grip and soft artificial cushioning material for safety reasons. I don't know if it has any effect, but it is true that there have been no cases of students slipping and falling in Tokiwadai dormitory.
Climb the stairs and walk to the left, where Mai Trin's bedroom is located.
Even in the relatively narrow hallway of the bedroom, it is unbelievably quiet. This is partly due to the high-tech soundproofing materials, but also due to the fact that Tokiwadai students are generally well-educated.
"Alright, here we are. Please come in, and you're welcome. β
"We bothered."
Mai Trin opened the door and prepared to lead the three of them into her bedroom.
"Sister-sama~~~~~~"
At this moment, Shirai Kuroko, dressed in a speechless burgundy nightgown, shouted and flew over.
