CHAPTER 46 The definite announcement that no one has heard
The hot breath awakens the tired spirit, and the winter sunshine spreads its warm grace in the sky blue clouds.
Waiting for the green signal light to light up, the girl wearing a wreath on her head held her cheeks with her gloved hands in exchange for the same warmth.
Academy City in mid-December has not yet entered the real cold winter, and at this time, the streets are decorated with trinkets mainly in red, green and white.
Although it is a festival that has no direct connection with this place, people's enthusiasm for "Christmas" is not the same.
The sales promotions and seasonal jewelry on the surrounding billboards were indeed very tempting, and a certain volunteer student suppressed the urge to shop and drove these things out of sight.
It took a lot of effort to get admitted by exception because of my excellent information processing ability, so I have to work hard.
With this in mind, he pushed open the office door of the 177th branch of the Discipline Committee, and the energetic Chuchun Shili greeted him with a smile.
"Good morning! Kobo-senpai!...Ah! Shirai-san?"
There was a pause in the voice. After walking into the room, Chuchun looked around and found that the senior she admired did not seem to be here. Instead, another trainee of the same age as her was holding a stack of information in his hand.
Kuroko Shirai, a volunteer student in the autumn training class of the Disciplinary Committee, and the mentor of Gufa Miwei.
The two people who were supposed to get to know each other during the training accidentally missed each other and finally met unexpectedly at the summary report meeting of the Daihasei Festival.
"Good morning, Uiharu-san, I'm sorry, but I need you to come over and help me on my day off."
Picking up the report he had compiled next to him, Gufameiwei raised his head and breathed a sigh of relief.
Recently, it is Christmas and the end of the semester. Many schools have begun to have holidays, and their work has become more intense.
"I have something else to do now. Please sit in Frenda's seat for a while. I will send you the data that needs to be processed later."
After saying that, the serious senior lowered her head again and devoted herself to the intense work.
This state was also 'inherited' by Shirai Kuroko. The two simply said hello and continued to sort out the documents around them.
"OK……"
After sitting in the back for a while, Uiharu Shili still couldn't hold it back and stuck out her little head and asked.
"...Um, Senior Gufa, Senior Severen, are you taking a day off today?"
Today was not a day off. She remembered that this senior rarely asked for leave.
"Huh? Don't you know?"
Without looking away from his screen, Gufa Meiwei asked strangely.
After thinking for a moment, she added.
"Now, she should check in at the airport in School District 23, right?"
I even asked for half a month's leave. I really can't help it.
Gufameiwei smiled bitterly.
"Eh?!"
After a slight hesitation, Shiri Uiharu was obviously surprised by this answer.
"School District 23" is a special school district that focuses on the aviation and space development industries. Academy City's international airport is located there.
With such a reminder, she quickly thought of something and looked through the chat history on her mobile phone.
The last message was that they talked about the upcoming exam a few days ago.
Not here.
In early spring, it continues to pull upward.
It was only when she arrived at the location about a month ago that she saw the thing mentioned.
correct.
Suddenly in early spring.
Senior is handling documents to return to China.
She is going back to her hometown to celebrate the New Year...
…
***********
Although Academy City implements closed management, the control over ordinary students is not strict enough to restrict the freedom of life.
But if you want to go out, there are still some necessary applications and measures.
These days, Flanda adheres to the concept of keeping a low profile and does not take any actions that would alarm the upper management.
After all, the gains she had made in the past period were enough for her to digest for a while.
In addition to letting Yui continue to collect data in the "Imaginary Math District", the most she can do is go out in the field with Uiharu Kouri to let this future junior adapt to the work environment.
I also met Shirai Kuroko, who was brought by Kobo Miwei, several times, and left a rough impression on him.
I just don’t know if this somewhat precocious and conceited elementary school student will become ‘fascinated’ by Misaka Mikoto under the ‘butterfly effect’.
Apart from this, Flanders has been preparing for this trip.
I have obtained all the key 'props', and I must use them.
Don't look at the future where a certain unfortunate hedgehog-headed boy can run around the world at will. How can ordinary Academy City students receive such treatment?
You need to know that staying in other countries for a long time not only requires filling out several forms and submitting them layer by layer, but also requires a guarantor and many other tedious procedures.
Fortunately, the relationship network that Frenda had been brewing came into use again. With her accumulated achievements as a disciplinary committee member, her status as a top student in the school, and Kumokawa Seria's behind-the-scenes operations, she easily got it done.
Passport and verification issues.
Besides, her reasons and the timing of her choice are really hard to fault.
Two months have passed by in a blink of an eye, and today is the day when Flanda and Fremia leave Academy City and return to their hometown.
There was a small episode during this period. Before leaving the country, both of them needed to be injected with a travel transmitter.
Of course, even if the above notice promotes that it is harmless, or even if this thing is really harmless, Frenda will not accept this kind of thing that monitors herself.
Using some 'little tricks', she easily solved the problem.
The engine began to roar, and the scenery on the ground slowly became smaller in the field of vision, which meant that they had really left this 'bottomless' city for the time being.
…
**********
It was night when we arrived.
At this time, there were few people in the departure hall, making this already spacious place even more empty.
The bulging feeling in the eardrum still hasn't completely subsided.
Fremia hugged her sister's arm with a grimace and made a soft "meow" sound.
They are currently going through the formalities at the immigration control office at the airport.
Although the place where the two studied has world-leading technology, the development of civil aviation seems to be the same, and the nearly ten-hour journey coupled with the jet lag has not improved much.
I have heard that there is a 'special' plane in Academy City that can fly directly to all parts of the world in a short time, but it is obviously not prepared for 'ordinary people'.
Nodding to the guard on duty with a familiar complexion, Flanda took her luggage under the other person's friendly smile and walked towards the airport gate with Fremia.
The nostalgic city scenery has a winter feel, and the nights in Sweden are still so long.
Same as before.
Unknowingly, she had been away for so long, and she returned to this strange and friendly country where she had lived for more than ten years.
The quaint bell rang on time, and the cool wind accompanied the stars and blew to the distant earth.
The girl with a calm face slightly raised her confident smile, as if she was telling the whole world.
