Chapter 16: Authenticity and Fake
Mikoto Misaka doesn't have the eldest lady's shelf, it's really good.
With this thought, Zuotian tears carefully tasted the crepe in his mouth, the slippery cream crossed the tongue, and the sweet taste that bloomed~~ The taste of happiness! Legend has it that the sweet taste causes the brain to secrete more enkephalins, which are said to be able to soothe the spirit.
"Give."
Just when Saten's tears were seriously tasting the food in his hand, Mikoto Misaka suddenly turned around, wearing the school uniform of Tokiwadai, but there was no eldest lady's shelf, a slightly boyish girl, showing a bright expression, and handed her the crepe in her hand. Shoulder-length brown hair flutters with this simple movement.
"Taste it, just like a thank you gift! Let's take a bite and taste it! β
What she said was that Saten Tears transferred the qua pendant to her, which was an inconsequential little thing for Saten Tear, but for Mikoto Misaka, an avid fan of Qua Tai, the meaning was different! I'm sure all fans are like that, right? Keen to collect all kinds of peripherals.,I don't know if I should be thankful or not.,Qua Tai is a mascot mainly for children.,Naturally, the price of all kinds of peripherals is very kind.,It's quite easy to collect.γ
But before Saten's tears could react, behind Mikoto Misaka, Shirai Kuroko took the lead in letting out a dissatisfied exclamation, and Kuroko's pink-brown double ponytail shook rapidly as she shook her head wildly in disbelief!
"Sister-sama!! You obviously have sunspots! I actually want to go to Zuotian's classmates where to mess with flowers and grass!! β
This unique couple-only toneβand it's a rape-only toneβgave Mikoto Misaka an indescribably troubled expression on her face, as did Saten's tears and Hatsuharu's ornament, who didn't know how to react.
"I said you, don't say that in public! Don't you have a sense of shame! β
Mikoto Misaka is also helpless against this schoolgirl, and she herself doesn't know why this schoolgirl has such a high opinion of herself, and why she has to stick to herself.
You know, she is one grade younger than Mikoto Misaka, and she can be in the same dormitory as Mikoto Misaka, thanks to her efforts...... In retrospect, it was really a disaster......
In the sweet bickering time of the four girls......
Rumble!
The strong roar attracted everyone's attention at once, because it came out of nowhere, Saten and Hatsuharu were startled, and the two girls shrank their necks cutely. Mikoto Misaka and Kuroko Shirai, who were still playing with Shirai Kuroko just now, entered a battle state in an instant.
Shirai Kuroko took the crepe in her mouth in her hand, reached into the pocket of her skirt with her right hand, and grabbed the armband of the Discipline Officer, and according to the situation, she was ready to wear the armband at any time and change from [Tokiwadai Student] to [Discipline Member].
Mikoto Misaka is the same.,Just listening to the explosion at such a distance.,You can deduce that the person who does things is not simple.,She's a LV5 ability.,Although she won't say anything like punishing evil and promoting good on weekdays.,But,Since it's encountered.,It's not okay not to help the handle.γ
After all, she had been attacked by someone in Tokiwadai before, and then she used herself as bait to lure those bad teenagers to attack her. It can be understood as venting one's own dissatisfaction, and it can also be understood as the kindness of wanting to find out the culprit.
"Enchantment, da-uh (sister-sama)."
Because he couldn't speak clearly because he was holding something in his mouth, Kuroko Shirai put on an armband while stuffing the crepe into it, trying to take a bite, and swallowing it without tasting it carefully.
"Sister, don't think about anything and rush out. Maintain the law and order of the school city,This is the job of our Discipline Inspection Commission.,The general public, please don't interfere.γ β
Seeing her decisiveness, although it was a little unpleasant for her to call it an ordinary person, Mikoto Misaka still smiled at her: Don't look at Kuroko like that on weekdays, when it comes to such a critical time, he will not drop the chain.
"In the early spring, contact the security guard...... Ah, it looks like it's not used anymore? β
As soon as Shirai Kuroko's words fell, he noticed that on both sides of the street, the guards' vehicles quickly approached. From the vehicle, adults with blast shields and rifles quickly blocked the scene, although the arrival of the guards once caused chaos at the scene, but the people at the scene were very obedient and honestly hid behind the guards to pull up the defensive line.
Mikoto Misaka looked at the place where the explosion was coming from.
It was a bank, and it was obviously broad daylight, but it was sealed with a roller shutter door, and there was a problem at first glance.
And now, there was a big hole in the roller shutter door, as if something powerful had pierced it.
(Huh?) It's the same attack mode as my super electromagnetic gun, and it focuses on a high-powered hit with a single point of breakthrough. οΌ
Mikoto Misaka judged so.
Although it looks like a junior high school student,But,After all, she's also a superpower person standing at the apex of 2.3 million people in the school city.,As a superpower,Seeing this behavior that seems to be a superpower attack,,I will still subconsciously compare the other party with myself.γ
(When I was in LV3, I was just thinking about the Super Electromagnetic Cannon ability, so that's probably how it felt.) οΌ
Mikoto Misaka suddenly had a feeling that she was already old.
(Sure enough, I'm now a member of the sect!) οΌ
She thought so.
Saten's tears and Hatsuharu's remarks are facing away from the bank, so it is not difficult to speculate that Mikoto Misaka, who handed the crepe to Saten, was facing the bank, and she clearly saw that the orange-red light left an afterimage in her retina, although it looked a little similar to her own super electromagnetic cannon, but it was much worse in terms of power and expression.
You must know Misaka Mikoto's super electromagnetic cannon, which is a coin cannonball with an initial velocity of more than Mach 3, and after launching, it will continue to accelerate under Misaka Mikoto's ability to correct the attack trajectory, whether it is attack power or anything else, it is stronger than this blow.
(Still, it's okay.) Who is it? Could it be that he is also capable of electromagnetism? οΌ
Suddenly, something shiny caught Mikoto Misaka's attention.
It was a coin that rolled rapidly in the afterimage of the orange light. The attention of the guards was on the bank where the shutter had been broken, and no one noticed that the poor little round creature was falling to the ground, gurgling and rolling.
Coins?
Mikoto Misaka narrowed her eyes and looked closely, it was a 500 yen coin, and it seemed that the surface was no longer clear because of the friction, and it rolled like a round metal plate, and finally fell to the ground.
(Even the use of coins is the same as mine?) οΌ
This makes Mikoto Misaka very curious.,I thought that in this school city.,It's yourself who uses coins as weapons! Originally, I wanted to be a signboard - but did anyone think of the same thing as me?
She couldn't help but feel a little curious in her heart, and looked at the bank.
"Oops, did you report it to the guards when you were robbed? What a decisive response. It looks like we won't have a chance to be active this time. β
Kuroko Shirai smiled and took off the armband on her arm. Chu Chun Ornament Li laughed twice and said, "If the guards come early, it means that the situation is easier to control, and the damage will naturally be reduced!" That's a good thing, Shirai-san! β
"Uh-huh, I know!"
The guard is the official [defender] of the school city.,For example,The discipline inspector of the school city is equal to the police of the outside world.,And the guard,Equal to the army of the outside world.γ The military and police systems are different, and there is no doubt which of the two is more professional.
Discipline inspectors are essentially students.,Although responsible for the maintenance of discipline in the school city,But in general,It's all about maintaining the atmosphere around the school.,And the guards are the real armed forces of the school city-although the guards basically have the identity of teachers.,But when there's no class,,Everyone will receive the right military education.,Combat training for the capable, etc.,In other words,They're experts in dealing with riots.γ
The dispatch of the guards generally means that there is no need for the discipline committee members to play, anyway, it is vacation time, and Shirai Kuroko is happy to give full authority to the guards.
"Huh? Sister-sama? How, curious? β
Mikoto Misaka, who noticed that she was paying attention, stared at the robbed bank with interest at this time, looking very concerned.
"Well, if you want to say that you care, you can be considered caring. Now, Kuroko, can you see it? This blow is a bit like me, right? I don't know what kind of person it is. β
Based on curiosity, Mikoto Misaka looked at the other side, Shirai Kuroko smiled, and said in her heart: This is also a cute point of my sister. Isn't it because you've seen abilities similar to yourself and are interested?
Ask yourself, if one day Shirai Kuroko sees someone with the same spatial ability, she will also be curious.
But......
"Huh?"
Saten, who was sitting opposite Mikoto Misaka, clearly saw Mikoto's expression change...... It made a sound that didn't feel good.
I saw Mikoto Misaka's youthful expression, and gradually stiffened. In Mikoto Misaka's eyes, she had already seen someone's red goggles through the broken shutter door.
"Actually...... Is that the guy? β
