This is the time①
"Misaka-san, is that Saten-san over there?"
Dome stopped humming a song.
"Well, yes. Saten-san! ”
Mikoto Misaka waved in the direction she was pointing.
It was indeed their friend Satian Tears who had only recently become acquainted. However, it's a little strange that she should be with Chu Chun on weekdays. I don't know why, today she is just one person.
(But speaking of which, Misaka-san is too.,Most of the time on weekdays I act with Shirai-san.") )
Dome spun his head slightly, and it was generally easy to guess what was going on. Shirai and Hatsuharu, these two people have the same identity.
(Sure enough, it's because of the Void Blast incident.) )
Recently, the members of the Discipline Commission have been extremely busy, and she is naturally aware of this. The reason for this is obviously related to the incident in which she was once involved.
It is said that she herself appears to be the first victim of the Void Blast incident.
There are some clues to this incident. But......
If something happened, she could immediately feel the anomaly. However, it is only at the time of the event. Like all gravitational detectors, she can't detect problems before they happen, a limitation that can't be overcome.
And, even if she wanted to help, she couldn't do it now. After the last incident, although she herself was cleared of suspicion, the Discipline Inspector even went so far as to directly ask her not to be present no matter what she perceived.
Objectively speaking, the fact that he was listed as a suspect because he was once curious about this did cause a lot of trouble to the members of the Discipline Inspection Commission.

"Like Kuroko, the early spring classmates are also very hard, right?"
The three girls sat at a table and chair in the open air, each buying a drink to beat the summer heat. Naturally, too, this topic was raised.
"It seems so. I also asked her to come shopping with me today, but she was refused. ”
"Well, there's no way around it until you catch the bomb maniac. Is that guy really that hard to find? ”
Mikoto Misaka said, naturally looking at the dome. If anyone knows anything about this, she's the only one.
"Hmm...... How to say that? The field of gravity has always been difficult to detect. Although it is very ordinary, so ordinary that all of us are accustomed to it, there is still no 100% reliable way to detect it accurately. Moreover, the accuracy of the detection is limited by the uncertainty principle, and even if the Blaginsky limit is broken with a non-destructive sensor, it is still not ideal enough. As for discovering something in advance, it's almost fantastical, so ......"
She didn't finish her words, but Mikoto Misaka naturally understood the meaning of her words.
"In other words, it's going to be passive, right?"
"Hmm. Therefore, it is better to be able to catch the current. ”
"Current ...... It's a real stump. If it was so easy to bump into the incident, it wouldn't be so bothering. ”
"However, it can't be said that there is no way to do it. Should ......"
"Oh?"
Hearing her say this, Mikoto Misaka suddenly came to her senses.
"It depends on whether the prisoner uses his abilities by preset or remotely. If it is the former, then it is necessary to go back in time to see what was happening before the explosion point; If the latter is the case, then the culprit must be quickly identified from everyone in the vicinity at the same time as the explosion occurs. I think I can do both. ”
"Wouldn't that be the case?"
"Misaka-san, don't you understand what I mean?"
"What?"
"I don't know how the prisoner uses his power, so the two have to be considered together. The result is ......"
"Ahh
Mikoto Misaka reacted. If both are taken into account, isn't it the same as now?
"Well, I always feel a little confused."
Listening to Mikoto and Dono's words, Saten suddenly sighed and said. This part was not something she could understand, so her attention was not here from the beginning.
"Huh?"
"No, how can you say it? Hatsuharu and Shirai-san have been working hard as members of the Discipline Committee, and Misaka-senpai and Kaihara-san are also very powerful people, so I have thoughts like 'I'm completely useless, ......'......"
Probably, this is also an idea that many people don't have on their own. Sometimes, it feels like you can't do anything.
The dome was silent. In her memory, she really had a deep understanding of this feeling.
"That...... Sorry, it's not that heavy. However, if I had the ability, would my daily life have changed? ”
In this way, I think that flying that I have long been accustomed to can also fall into this category.
Gently stirring the straw, the ice cubes in the cup make a crashing sound. Before I knew it, Dome remembered something.
Those things that may be considered "in the past" and are not intended to be forgotten, but they are not deliberately remembered. These parts have begun to lose their sense of reality. Although from the outset, it was difficult to say whether this was true or not.
When you think about it, it's really a bit subtle.
"Ah, if there is a fantasy master, it won't be a dream to call it LV.5......"
Zuo Tian's tears suddenly came out of such a sentence.
"Fantasy Mite?"
Mai Koto and Dome were stunned at the same time. It's a bit of a name.
"It's an urban legend that I talked about before, and it's a tool that can easily increase the level of ability."
"Hey......"
Mikoto Misaka sighed softly, but Qiongno sat there quietly, thinking for nearly two minutes or so.
"Could it be that simple?" She is not so much asking questions as she is denying, "Ability is a thing that is limited by one's ability to think and calculate." Is it possible to do such a thing as directly improving ability so easily? ”
Yes, Xingchuan did have a sudden increase in ability, but before that, she already had good math skills.
If you want to improve your ability with a tool, it must make a direct change in your thinking and even the brain itself. I don't know, but it doesn't sound like a good thing.
"Since even strippers exist, I wonder if they do. Well, how can it exist? Hahaha. ”
"Stripper?"
"Ah, this is the weirdo I saw a few days ago."
Mai Trin interjected and explained.
“?”
Dome tilted her head.
"There's a weirdo who takes off his clothes in public...... Anyway, there's not much to say, it's just a weirdo. Mai Trin obviously didn't want to say too much on this topic, "By the way, when it comes to clothes, let's go together." ”
"What?"
It's getting more and more confusing.
"Clothes, let's go shopping for clothes together."
"Ha ......"
"Why this reaction?"
"No, it's just that I suddenly realized that I didn't seem to have bought a private service for a long time."
I just replied with a deduction, but I didn't expect Mikoto and Saten's reaction to be unexpectedly big.
"Huh?"
"How is this possible? Don't make such an impossible joke, Kaihara-san. ”
"Uh...... Excuse me, is this something incredible? ”
Both Mikoto and Saten fixed their eyes on Qiongno, and she was a little hairy.
"As a girl, how can there be such a thing as not buying clothes for a long time! Kaihara-san, how much do you not have the consciousness of a girl! ”
"Why, why is this involved?" Dome was a little flinched by their reaction, "Miss Tachiki is sending new clothes at every turn, and my clothes are almost too late to wear." Besides, Tokiwadai requires me to wear a school uniform most of the time, so naturally I don't have much time to wear private clothes......"
Suddenly, Mai Trin's shoulders collapsed.
"It turns out that there are benefits for models...... I was thinking how it could be. ”
That's right, there's nothing too strange about this team. As she said, Kaoru Tachiki always sent clothes for her to try on, and the most exaggerated one was to send four sets in a week. I don't know what the other readers are like, but her clothes really don't fit in. In fact, how to pack more and more clothes has been giving her a headache lately. What she said to Mikoto before, "Please don't say that, even if that's true, it's nothing" is really a feeling, because long before the bee-eating exercise, she was already used as a paper doll by Kaoru Tachiki to try on various clothes (beautiful name: "professionalism").
"Ah, I'm so envious!"
"Zuotian, if you are interested, I can send you a few sets."
"Huh? May I? Can it really be? The clothes worn by the models should be trendy and expensive, right? ”
"It's not that exaggerated, I'm just a reader model, and I'm a student, so I don't want to wear too avant-garde clothes, and Miss Tachiki still knows this. There are a lot of them that I haven't worn at all. I guess we're about the same size, right? ”
"Oh! Lucky! ”
"But, Kaihara-san, let's come here if you can. At the very least, you should have a better vision than us as a model. ”
"If that's the case......"
_
"And that's what it is?"
"Well, I'm sorry, brother. There may be no way back. ”
"Don't apologize for not being a big deal." Mitsuki Kaihara said as he helped Qiongno untie the bandage.
In the explosion that day, the surface tissue of the skin of the Dona's left hand was somewhat severely torn. Even now, even though it has healed, the wound marks like dead branches can be seen very clearly.
In this respect, it was unthinkable that the doctor, who looked like a frog at the time, would be able to guarantee that no harm would be left. However, when their father heard about it, he clearly told Mitsuki Umihara that the doctor's words were absolutely credible.
Judging by the actual results, this is probably true. With the use of a special medical bandage, the recovery speed of Domino's injuries can be confirmed with the naked eye almost every day.
"To put it simply, it's a product of nanoengineering. The bandage is only an attachment, and the nanomachines on it are the key, they will be responsible for repairing the body tissue at a tiny level, just like the principle of the current artificial organs, which is far more direct and effective than the current plant tissue repair technology. Normally, this is not needed for injuries of this magnitude. It seems that he has given me a lot of face. ”
This explanation surprised Mitsuki Umihara. What kind of character is that doctor? Judging from his father's description, it seems that they are still familiar with each other.
"But in that case, Shirai-san and Hatsuharu-san have been busy lately?"
Mitsuki Umihara put aside his thoughts in this regard for a while and asked other questions.
"I guess so."
"That's weird......"
Mitsuki Umihara muttered to himself meaninglessly.
“?”
"Nothing, that's just some personal problems for me."
Dome frowned slightly. Recently, it seems that I always feel that Mitsuki Haihara has something to hide from him. Of course, she didn't interfere with the other party's thoughts, but she ......
I always feel as if something beyond my imagination is happening.
