Temperature Control 27

Chapter 27

This month’s scholarship will be in my account

A river bank that is mysteriously frozen and controlled by a weather machine according to a rumor.

As the water in the river flows, the outer edge of the irregular circular ice layer has a tendency to fall off continuously, but even if the outer ice layer continues to break, it will re-condense into ice on the water surface.

“Saten-san, Natsume-san, let’s go quickly, I always feel that this place is weird, don’t look for that machine anymore.”

Uiharu-san felt uncomfortable all over, as if she was stared at by some evil eyes hidden in the dark, and said in a somewhat anxious tone.

“What’s strange, Uiharu-san, I am actually the weather machine, codenamed Natsume9527.”

Natsume Enako stood there with a dull look on her face, and spoke in the flat tone without any emotion in the classic robot movie.

She spoke word by word, very slowly, sounded muffled, and waved her hands mechanically, Like an old machine with slow movements, he pointed the flashlight at his dull and rigid face.

“Really, Natsume-san, don’t scare me.”

Uiharu-san was caught off guard and saw Natsume Enako’s face, which was surprisingly white under the flashlight. She immediately took a few steps back in fear, her eyes wide open and she was a little overwhelmed, and she bumped into Saten Ruiko-san.

“Uiharu, you are too timid, it’s just an old model.”

Saten Ruiko-san turned around and looked at Uiharu-san, patted Uiharu-san’s shoulder gently, and when Uiharu-san turned her face around, she also raised the flashlight to her face.

“Actually, I am also a robot, codenamed Saten Ruiko first generation.” Saten-san suddenly laughed gloomily, like an extremely intelligent evil robot.

“Ahhh.” The scream from Uiharu-san.

Without the time to find the trace of the weather machine, Natsume Enako and Saten Ruiko-san encountered a big crisis after playing a joke.

“Uiharu-san, don’t be angry, I was just joking.” Natsume Enako put her hands together apologetically, looking at Uiharu-san standing in the snow and feeling a little bit at a loss.

“Sorry, sorry, as compensation, how about I treat you to croquettes?” Saten-san stood aside, her face full of apology, and hurriedly made remedial measures.

“Me too. Since Saten-san treated us to croquettes, I’ll treat you to takoyaki. Uiharu-san, don’t be angry.” Natsume Enako didn’t have much talent in comforting people, but she immediately got the essence of Saten-san.

Uiharu-san also turned around at this time, pouting her mouth, with a hint of anger on her face.

“If you don’t forgive me, I’ll be angry for a while.” Uiharu-san still said angrily.

Three minutes later, the two finally got Uiharu-san’s forgiveness. In addition to the two conditions of croquettes and takoyaki, Natsume Enako also agreed to let the two of her visit her dormitory as an additional condition.

Recalling her dormitory, Natsume Enako remembered that her bed was so tidy that it looked like it had never been used, and the things under the bed had been neatly arranged in categories.

Except for the need to sort out the things that were previously scattered around and forgotten to be packed, there was nothing that she dared not let others see.

But Natsume Enako also found that Uiharu-san seemed to be particularly longing for Tokiwadai Middle School, and she longed for the life of a young lady. Of course, according to Saten-san, this was just a longing for the upper class.

“There is so little snow, and the ice looks so crudely made. It can’t be just a machine that failed to be developed in Academy City.” An unknown passerby said a little unhappy, and Natsume Enako looked at her meaningfully.

People came to check the situation one after another, but as time went by, the snowflakes became fewer and fewer.

The lake on the side gradually thawed, and the water flow washed away the large pieces of ice. Soon, the culprit that blocked the flow of the river disappeared completely.

Natsume Enako took back her ability, and looked at the people around her who were constantly sighing with satisfaction. Very good, as a director, she am undoubtedly very successful. She am looking for a few places to hang out, and then she will wait for the website to include it.

….Ordinary dividing line….

It’s a brand new day again, Natsume Enako felt refreshed after getting up from the sofa in the student dormitory.

Today is an ordinary day, but it is a little different.

Today is the first day of scholarship distribution since entering Tokiwadai Middle School.

By the way, the amount of scholarship this time must have doubled. Regarding the financial issue, Natsume Enako is as concerned as the development of ability.

Picked up a common student notebook from the desk in the dormitory, and the first few pages were recorded with some unclear Martian words.

During a period of youth in elementary school, because of too many jumps in thinking, Natsume Enako devoted herself to studying Martian characters for a period of time.

By splitting traditional Chinese characters, Japanese characters, and adding various symbols and emoticons, these strange characters on the notebook are formed together. Natsume Enako thinks that this can be used as her password book.

Opening Natsume Enako’s password book and turning it to the middle pages, there is Natsume Enako’s bank card.

Because she is a little worried that the bank card will be lost or damaged when she carries it with her, Natsume Enako hides her bank card in the gap between the books that can be seen everywhere in the dormitory.

The most dangerous place is the safest place. Natsume Enako feels that she has a talent for hiding private money.

However, today is the day to issue scholarships, and the bank card has its place.

Natsume Enako can check the increasing balance at the ATM comfortably, While taking out some cash for daily expenses for the next month.

The only thing that makes Natsume Enako unhappy is that Academy City, although its technology is very advanced, still does not support mobile payment. The possible reason is that there are too many hackers in this place, and the network security environment is worrying.

Natsume Enako put the bank card in her pocket, hurriedly brushed her teeth and washed her face in the bathroom, and tidied her appearance. A radiant Tokiwadai Middle School student appeared in front of the mirror.

Looking closely at the mirror, Natsume Enako found that her dark circles were gradually fading. It seems that her sleep has improved recently, and it may also be caused by adapting to Tokiwadai’s schedule.

“Good morning, Senior Misaka, Shirai-san.” Just after walking out of the door, Natsume Enako met Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko who were also going out.

“What’s wrong with you today? Normally you should still be lying in your room sleeping at this time!” Shirai Kuroko’s face immediately showed a vigilant look, and she kept looking at Natsume Enako.

“Ah, it’s true that I rarely meet you guys, Senior Misaka, in the morning.” Natsume Enako thought carefully, subconsciously looked at the current time, and recalled her usual self.

Today she woke up about 30 minutes earlier than usual, and it was not even the scheduled time to get up.

“So you are acting strange today, are you paying attention to my sister again?” Shirai Kuroko stretched out her arms and nervously stood in front of Senior Misaka, attracting a lot of attention.

she, Shirai Kuroko, once swore that she would always protect her sister and be her strongest support. Anything that threatens her sister must be ruthlessly blocked, especially an irrelevant person with bad intentions who attempts to occupy her position.

“You, you not only took away my sister’s spare time, but now you are going to take away the morning that belongs only to my sister and Kuroko? It’s simply unforgivable!”

Just when Shirai Kuroko was immersed in her own world and confronted a bun-headed guy with an honest face in a tough tone.

Senior Misaka’s hands turned into steel knives. She swung her high to gather huge gravitational potential energy, It landed in the middle of Kuroko-san’s twin ponytails like a meteorite.

“Don’t say such misleading words again!” Senior Misaka narrowed her eyes and said emotionally.

Ignoring Shirai Kuroko who was crouching with her head in her hands, judging from the muscle twitching at the foot of her eyebrows when Senior Misaka took action, it seems that the pressure has increased recently. Although it should not be all blamed on Shirai-san, 70% to 80% of it should be well deserved.

Natsume Enako silently recalled the recent posts about vending machines. After counting the days since Shirai-san moved to Senior Misaka’s room, the number of posts seemed to be increasing with the momentum of a tornado destroying a parking lot.

The scene became inexplicably harmonious. Natsume Enako was standing there thinking about what words to use to ease this embarrassing scene, and there was a sound of footsteps behind her.

Natsume Enako suddenly felt someone pat her on the back, When she turned around, she saw a little maid with a calm smile.

“It’s Tsuchimikado-san, long time no see.” Natsume Enako broke away from the harmonious atmosphere just now, and said to Tsuchimikado Maika who appeared behind her at some point.

“Natsume-san, it’s not long since we last met, I just saw you in the restaurant yesterday.” Tsuchimikado Maika said with a leisurely tone, raising a finger, and just after she finished speaking, she slightly pinched her maid skirt with both hands and made a standard maid salute to everyone.
