This kind of place that can be used as a synonym for leisure is everywhere in Academy City. Desserts and sundaes are a must-have to bring people closer together, so they are always popular with couples and girls.
Although the best-selling products in each school district will be biased depending on the type and preferences of students, in general, the taste will not disappoint anyone.
The time I made an appointment with my senior is two o'clock in the afternoon.
The weather conditions were as good as the satellite forecast, with warm sunshine and pleasant wind speed. No matter how you looked at it, it was a good day for traveling together.
But the result is——
(Huh... In this case... that's almost it.)
Although she sat on the open-air seats as scheduled, Uiharu Shiori, who had her head buried, did not look relaxed at all.
The tangled cables and machines at my feet were working hard without affecting the work of the computer. Let alone enjoying afternoon tea leisurely, the shop assistants and other customers had long been evacuated, and even the shopping malls in several nearby areas had been evacuated.
A cordon was set up around the building.
The aroma of coffee has dissipated.
The excitement when we first met has subsided.
The event was forced to be suspended, and the plans I made on the notepad in my pocket for consulting my friends today could only be wasted.
But having said that.
Now.
This is not the time to be distracted.
The girl who was the supporter reminded herself like this.
"...The search for area A has been completed and no abnormalities were found."
"Received, please continue to area B."
The report coming from the walkie-talkie made Uiharu's scattered thoughts refocus on the keyboard.
Although nothing has happened yet, just a few dozen minutes ago, due to the continuous bomb explosions caused by external forces, this place was used as a deployment area and was requisitioned by the police as a temporary countermeasures headquarters.
And she can still sit in it now because of the armband she wears on her arm and her extraordinary intelligence processing skills.
Uiharu Shiri is a member of the team that maintains public security in Academy City.
At this moment, it was time for her to take action.
Like.
Just like ‘that person’ once did.
…
…
The faint smell of gunpowder smoke has not faded from someone's body.
He must have just come from some 'scene'.
someone thought.
"Anyway, it may take a long time to explain the details, so let's forget it."
The tall female security guard held her special helmet in her right hand and looked at the blond girl next to her who was a head shorter than herself.
"Although the prisoner was caught, he didn't seem to be cooperating. Fortunately, the building was the only suspicious location after the investigation, and all the people nearby were evacuated. I just don't know where the bastard hid the bomb.
Corner, it would be nice if there were more clues."
Aiho Yomikawa, who had a headache, frowned and had helplessness on her face.
"Isn't there anything a person with psychological abilities can do?"
"It's useless. The area that can be determined in a short time is already the limit. No matter the time or location, the other party is using random crimes."
Huang Quanchuan's answer made Flanda stop her plan to continue asking.
After all, similar attacks have happened not once or twice in this city.
If the prisoner was nearby, she wouldn't mind helping to 'order' him, but now there was obviously no time to bring him.
What's more, Frenda has given up 'that identity' now.
I will stay here only as a relative of her junior.
Therefore, the blond girl, who is adapting to her 'new identity' recently, can only stare at the computer screen with the dialog box in front of her constantly jumping, and occasionally look at the progress of Uiharu.
I have to say that their luck is really bad.
She originally planned to take a good rest during this rare holiday.
The girl sighed softly.
Just like that, the two people who had only met a few times gradually became silent, and the only sounds left around them were the voices of staff reporting on the situation.
The reason why I say I have met several times is because when Frenda was still serving as the "Disciplinary Committee", she supported the operations of the "Security Officer" under the mobilization of the headquarters.
According to Academy City's regulations, although the Disciplinary Committee focuses on campus security and generally does not directly participate in the actions of security guards, in critical or special situations, members with outstanding logistical capabilities will be allowed to perform various tasks such as intelligence processing.
assistance.
Because of this, Huang Quanchuan, who had both been affiliated with the security agency of the "Seventh School District", didn't know anything about the girl beside her who had left a deep impression on her.
"anyway."
As if looking for a chance to talk, the security guard lady with long black hair tried her best to speak in a tone that sounded like a chat after dinner.
"You really don't want to be a disciplinary committee member anymore."
After looking at it twice, Huang Quanchuan sighed and looked at Frenda's arm with certainty.
Although I heard an explanation when we first met, basically, disciplinary committee members rarely quit the job on their own initiative.
This can't help but make Huangquan Chuan, who has been active in ANBU, think of some "inside information".
"Well, as you can see."
Flanda closed her eyes lightly, her voice as calm as ever.
"There is actually no complicated reason here."
"It's just that compared to me now, the work of the disciplinary committee is a bit too 'pure'."
"Even if you have influence, can it improve Academy City's security effect by 10% or 20% if it is placed in the Disciplinary Committee system?"
The security guard girl smiled seriously.
Obviously.
Yomikawa Aiho also already knew about that.
A "Level 5" disciplinary committee member can definitely make many bad organizations "reform their evil ways".
I believe many people think so.
But sometimes, the seemingly perfect decision may not be the best choice.
"Okay! Let's stop this topic for the time being. Although I don't know what you have been through during this time, but if you encounter any difficulties, just come to me."
"Providing help to students is not only the job of guards, but also the responsibility of teachers."
The incident has not been resolved after all, and now is not the time to talk about this.
Patting Flanda on the shoulder, the cheerful guard sister gave full play to her style as a sports teacher.
Afterwards, after receiving the report, she put her hands on the table and communicated with her subordinates again.
"..."
As for the girl who stayed where she was, she was chanting carefully.
Although this Academy City is full of dirty and dark corners, there are also people who are working hard to radiate residual heat in bright places.
Aiho Yomikawa is just one of them.
It is this weak but never disappearing goodwill that keeps this city from 'dead'.
In that case——
Let’s use today’s event as a ‘meeting gift’ for my ‘debut’.
