Friends of the Lantern (Part I)
Foggy Hills Girls' College, located in the 18th School District. In the field of superpower development, it is a girls' school with the same reputation as Tokiwadai Junior High School.
Unlike Tokiwadai, which only has a junior high school, Kirigaoka is a high school. At first glance, it seems that Kirigaoka should have a lot of students who graduated from Tokiwata. But this is not the case, and there are very few graduates of Tokiwadai in the entire fog hill.
The reason for this is that Kirigaoka's evaluation of students is completely different from Tokiwadai's.
In Fog Hill, the strength of ability is not an indicator of the student, but the rarity of ability.
Understanding those rare abilities, tracing their origins, looking ahead to their prospects, discovering their origins and meanings, is the purpose of the Fog Hill.
Therefore, it is conceivable that the students of the foggy hill must be the holders of extremely rare abilities. In fact, the ranking of students in Fog Hill is not based on student grades and ability levels, but on the rarity of ability.
In some respects, because the rankings are based on a way that ordinary people are not familiar with, they also avoid the possibility of discrimination to a considerable extent.
Now, the second-ranked student in the fog hill, Ji Yanbi, is hurrying to the bottom.
She is a member of the Kirigaoka Student Council, and because of the meeting, she will remain at the school at this time when school is already over. At this time, she went to meet a classmate who was not a member of the student council, but who was still in school after school like her.
Passing by the classroom where she was the class leader, she heard the sound of someone making a phone call.
"Sorry, I waited."
Walking around the corner of the classroom aisle in a greeting, the girl who was using her mobile phone put her index finger to her lips and made a silent gesture to her.
This girl, like Ji Yanbi, is dressed in the summer uniform of the Fog Hill. There are only two differences, one is that she is loosely tied with a metal belt that is almost close to the width of the corset, made of dense small lattices; The second is that she is surrounded by all kinds of birds, and it seems that she is very close to her.
"So, do you want to make a bet? If you do, I'll show you the benefits, what do you think? ”
The girl quickly removed the phone from her ear. Immediately after, from the earpiece of the headphones, there came the almost frantic screams of the boy who could hear even Yanbi clearly.
"I'm not interested in your perverted woman's bunny girl outfit at all!!"
This...... What kind of mess is this?
Although it's different from himself, how can I say that the girl with a double twist braid over the shoulder in front of me is also a character who is the first grade president of the foggy hill like herself, why would she have a relationship with this kind of boy?
And it seems, it's still the appearance of taking the initiative to tease the other party?
"Huh? It's weird, when did I say I was offering my own benefits? And, Why do you think of bunny girl outfits? Could it be ...... I see, you're the real pervert if you have this reaction. ”
"You...... You're calculating me?!You're digging a pit for me to jump!!"
"Wow, it's scary, it's scary! A weak girl like me, for the sake of her own safety, might as well report it to the guards right away? ”
"Damn!"
Words like this continued, but Yanbi wasn't worried. Because she could see that the girl was really happy.
"Well, no more ado. My friend is waiting for me, bye-bye. ”
The girl hung up the phone and exhaled slightly, looking refreshed, obviously in a good mood.
Suddenly, some mischievous thoughts popped up with him.
"Boyfriend?"
"Well, yes - I'd love to say that, but unfortunately, no. It's just a friend who always makes me feel a little at ease. The girl didn't care about Ji Yanbi's reaction and said, she even glanced at Ji Yanbi meaningfully, "Then again, my criteria for choosing a boyfriend should be the same age, but it's okay to be a little older than me." Unlike you, I'm not too interested in the boys who are younger than me. ”
"Ahem~~~"
"Oh, that's right?"
The girl smiled evilly.
"Let's get down to business, Chitsuko. What's going on? Texted me over. ”
"There are really important things." Girl-the fourth place in the Kirigaoka Women's Academy, picking flowers Chitsuko put away her smile and said, "Set the file reception on your phone to open, and I'll send you something." ”
As she said, she opened her phone to receive the file. When she opened the transferred file, her eyes widened.
"Where did you get it?"
"The positioning system is on the next page."
"Positioning...... Wait, is this instantaneous? ”
"Of course, it's definitely live."
Yan Bi immediately straightened up and bowed to the plucked flowers in thanks.
"Thanks, that's a great help, Chitsuko."
She immediately took a screenshot of the video being played and sent the image file out.
"Don't be so polite. In this way, I am halfway done what you asked me to do. ”
----------------------------------------------------
"Really? It worked. ”
"Well, it's the credit of the classmates themselves after marriage."
It's incredible, I can't remember exactly how many times, it seems that as long as it's related to her, she can always get benefits unconsciously. And when you think about it, it seems to be achieved entirely through self-supervision.
After getting along with her for a long time, Haiyuan has also become accustomed to the difference between his sister.
However, simulating atmospheric motion with a lattice gas automaton was probably something that only she could imagine.
Perhaps, she is a good fit to be a teacher. Like the kind of scholar who conducts research and leads students, like Landau or Wheeler?
If it had been a few years ago, I would never have had this thought. Now, though, it seems to have become a matter of course.
The academic conference in Russia at the beginning of this month was nothing of concern for the average person, but not for him. The repercussions at the Moscow academic conference were even greater than she had thought. While gravitational waves in binary systems have been a hot topic in their own right, and are nothing too special in their own right, Donier's paper seems to have received considerable praise from the academic community.
"The depth and rigor of this paper is such that anyone with even a modicum of knowledge of physics can not believe that it was written by a girl who is only 14 years old."
Academic journals use this sentence as an evaluation of Dome Nai's paper.
According to Umihara's inquiry, many well-known physicists even believe that the only thing that may limit the future achievements of the Dome is the physical intuition that is still unknown at this time.
This is an extremely high rating.
It's still a little hard to believe that such an outstanding girl could become her sister......
Haiyuan looked at her side face and was unconsciously stunned.
"Brother?"
"Huh? What's up? ”
"Is there anything on my face?"
Dome reached out and touched his cheek.
"No, there is no such thing. It's just that I feel like you've been favored by God too much. ”
Inadvertently, he said what Salt Bi used to describe him.
When Haihara said this, Dome couldn't help blushing a little.
Of course, that's what Haiwon is all about. He likes to see Qiongno being shy and helpless, so sometimes, he will even deliberately tease her, because it will make her look even more cute.
Of course, for this, the dome is not unaware. This kind of interaction between brothers and sisters has even become a warm tacit understanding.
For Haiyuan, after getting used to the years of being accompanied by the dome, it is a little hard to believe how he spent his time.
Maybe that's the same for Dome.
He wanted to say that, but at least so far, he couldn't know what Dome thought.
Rumble!
Just as the tram arrived, suddenly, a roar sounded in the distance.
The two looked out the window and noticed a puff of black smoke rising from a corner.
They just glanced at each other and immediately reached a tacit understanding.
They didn't arrive at the station and walked out of the carriage with the flow of people who got off the train, paid at the exit as fast as possible, and then ......
"Do you want to be together?"
"Hmm. No way, if I go separately, I'll be slower. ”
After a brief discussion, the brother and sister took to the skies together.
Mitsuki Umihara doesn't have any ability to fly, which is the result of the ability of the dome. That is, to completely surrender one's own security to the other party.
Their target was exactly where the explosion sounded.
It's still like that, and although they don't plan to intervene in such a sudden event, it doesn't mean that they will stand idly by and watch such a thing.
However, when they flew through the sky, they saw Mikoto Misaka standing in a narrow alleyway.
"Misaka-san?"
"Ah, Hai...... Kaihara-san? You ......"
"Did you hear the loud noise?"
"Huh? Aha, nothing, nothing. ”
It's just like the phone scammer who was debunked on the spot, it's really a very clumsy cover-up.
"You did it, didn't you?"
Mitsuki Umihara said bluntly, so Mikoto was stiff at the beginning.
"Aha, how is this possible, hahaha......"
Dome didn't speak, just looked at her quietly with her beautiful two-colored eyes without saying a word.
"I'm sorry, I did it. I was so angry that I accidentally overdid it......"
Mai Koto bowed her head.
"Misaka-san, your abilities are different from ours, and you have too much destructive power. So you have to be cautious when you're outside of school, and the teacher said that, right? ”
Qiongno didn't use too much reproachful tone, but such a faint word made Mikoto's head lower lower.
She is not a person who can't tell the difference between right and wrong, so she naturally knows that Dome is right. It's just that guy...... Damn, I can't help but be angry when I think about it!
"It doesn't look like much damage, though."
Mitsuki Haihara pointed to the alley and said.
Looking in the direction of his finger, the scene in the alley can be said to be very strange.
The whole alley was darkened, which was understandable. On the contrary, with the sound just now, it is incredible that these effects are just caused.
The problem is that directly in front of the charred black, there is a large area that seems to be isolated. It's like a reef splitting the torrent, leaving not the slightest trace of damage.
The Kaihara siblings glanced at each other.
I see, no wonder Mikoto Misaka behaves so strangely.
"Misaka-san......" Mitsuki Umihara said, "did you lose?" ”
"How is that possible! That kind of guy wanted to win me 100,000 years earlier!"
"So, won?"
"Goo......
Although it is true that he did not lose, it is obvious that he cannot say that he won at all.
"However, since he can resist Misaka-san's attack, he seems to be a very strong person."
"Hmm." Dome looked at Mikoto on the side. With her character of not admitting defeat, it is indeed very likely that someone with this level of ability will have a conflict, "But brother, what kind of ability is it, and what kind of ability can be used to cause this effect?" Is it okay to have telekinesis? ”
"No, something like that might be done. But like simply neutralizing the front like this, there is hardly any residue, at least not in the way I can't. ”
Mitsuki Haihara said as he reached out and touched the edge of the charred black dividing line.
"It's weird......"
The Kaihara siblings are both curious people, and both of them keep their eyes on Mikoto.
"Total ...... In short, it's a very nasty guy. I'm so strong that I always refuse to fight a good duel, and I run when I see me all day long, every time I do this, it's really hateful......"
To be honest, from her words, the Kaihara brothers and sisters only felt that it was the unknown capable person who was unlucky. And it's the kind that is entangled by the disaster star for no reason.
But......
Maybe Mai Trin didn't notice it herself. Although she was full of complaints (the unreasonable kind), when talking about the capable person, she was not as she said, but with a relaxed and happy face.
Regardless of what Qiongno thinks, Mitsuki Umihara has become somewhat interested in the guy Mikoto is talking about.
Because,Even if you don't get angry in the face of unreasonable entanglements with LV.5 superpowers, don't you think you're a pretty good person?
"Misaka-san? Ah, is Kaihara-san too? ”
Two approaching girls interrupted Mikoto's chatter of various complaints.
"Chuchun, Zuotian, good afternoon."
The dome bowed politely.
"Just now, there was such a loud explosion."
"Huh? Not...... There's nothing over here. Right? ”
Mikoto explained in a panic as she gave Dome a "help me hide it" look.
"Yes, Saten-san. It's not a big deal here. ”
Naturally, Qiongno will deliberately dismantle Mikoto. What's more, it's not a lie, and in terms of the results, it really didn't make a big deal.
"yes, yes? Well, it's rare to get together, so why don't you just hang out together? ”
"Huh? May I? ”
"Of course. Kaihara-san, do you want to be together? ”
"Me? Hmmm......"
Dome turned his head and looked at Mitsuki Haihara. At times like these, she usually leaves the decision to her brother.
"Go ahead, it's okay. I'll just go back myself. ”
"Huh? Isn't that right? I'm still ......."
"Activities between girls, it's embarrassing when I'm here, isn't it?" Mitsuki Umihara smiled and said, "Moreover, a message has just been sent, and I also happen to have some things to do." ”
He held up his phone in motion.
Indeed, his phone's instructions are showing a new message notification.

Brief introduction:
A friend of the young age of the Yanbi.,But entering the school city is relatively early for the Yanbi.。 However, when she was in middle school, she was not able to enter the same school as Yanbi, which has always been a regret for her. When he was in high school, he entered the Fog Hill with Salt Bi, but received an invitation from Fog Hill later than Salt Bi.
Unlike Yanbi, she has an outgoing and bright personality, and sometimes even seems noisy. Although not as good at comforting people as Yanbi, it is easier to mingle with others. The fourth place in the foggy hill is the class leader next door to the class where Yanbi is the class leader, and together with Yanbi, he is also called the first-grade class leader of the fog hill.
Life sciences are even better than Yanbi, but sometimes they often come up with some inexplicable funny papers. It is estimated that it is more likely to be a deliberate prank.
In his spare time outside of school, he often participates in e-sports as a part-time job and serves as the captain of a team. But other than that, it seems that I do other jobs on weekdays. After the Daba Star Festival, the Italian Travel Award was presented to Kamijo Dangma. It doesn't seem like the first time she's done this kind of thing, though.
Relatively speaking, the deviation is more serious. Medicine was her best subject.
