A Scientific Urban Detective

Just as she was complaining loudly in her heart, Shokuhou Misaki suddenly realized something and carefully reviewed Lin Wuming's memories of her future image, only to discover that her attire was indeed a bit special.

Perhaps it was because she became the "Queen", unlike Misaka Mikoto, who took the energetic route, her future self had an elegant and gorgeous style; although it was also the uniform of Tokiwadai Middle School, she additionally equipped herself with snow-white long gloves, and snow-white over-knee stockings, with an overall exposure level much lower than other students.

If Hachisuka Mitsumi also referred to this style of dressing, perhaps she wouldn't have to be so troubled.

"Hmm... in that case, Wuming-senpai's reaction is understandable," Shokuhou Misaki thought, stroking her chin.

Then, she looked at Hachisuka Mitsumi opposite her, projecting the attire in her mind onto her.

"Huh? Why is there a strange sense of disharmony..." Then she couldn't help but complain, "It doesn't feel elegant at all!"

"Hey, are you provoking me!" Hachisuka Mitsumi glared over.

"No, don't mind me, let me change your style a little..." Shokuhou Misaki wasn't afraid of her at all, as if she was playing a dress-up game, adjusting the outfit in her mind for the girl in front of her, "Hmm... white doesn't seem to suit you, and light silk doesn't suit you either, perhaps leather material would be good..."

After finishing the adjustments, Shokuhou Misaki clapped her hands and nodded in satisfaction. Then, she pressed the remote control and projected the image she imagined into Hachisuka Mitsumi's mind.

"What are you..." Feeling some information suddenly appearing in her mind, Hachisuka Mitsumi immediately became alert, then immediately froze, "This is... me?"

"How is it? It suits you very well, it matches Hachisuka-san's style~" Shokuhou Misaki looked at Lin Wuming with a smile.

The same image was, of course, shared with Lin Wuming.

In the image, Hachisuka Mitsumi, wearing the Tokiwadai Middle School uniform, had a pair of over-knee high boots on her lower body, leaving less than a palm's width of absolute territory between the uniform skirt and the boots.

On her hands were a pair of punk-style faux leather long fingerless gloves, decorated with some brass-textured metal pieces and rings, giving a "workwear" feel.

Similarly, only less than five centimeters of skin was exposed at the short sleeve cuffs.

Covered to this extent, even if a few scars were exposed, it wouldn't seem abrupt, but rather fit the style of this outfit.

"No!" Hachisuka Mitsumi decisively refused again, "This outfit is too stupid, meaningless, and unfavorable for movement."

"Well, I think it's very charming. Don't you think so, Wuming-senpai?" Shokuhou Misaki asked.

"It does have a lot of steampunk charm, but it does seem inconvenient to move around in," Lin Wuming commented.

In this regard, his and Hachisuka Mitsumi's brainwaves were inexplicably in sync.

Because of their previous experiences, they both had the awareness to engage in combat at any time; or rather, a sense of crisis, worried about encountering sudden situations, so they had to be ready to respond at any time.

Therefore, in their minds, whether or not it is easy to move around is a very important element of clothing.

"You two..." Shokuhou Misaki had a speechless expression, deeply feeling that she was in a completely different world from them in this regard.

She never considered whether clothing was easy to move around in.

"Okay, this kind of thing doesn't need to be cared about," Shokuhou Misaki waved her hand to switch the topic, "Even if you don't use extra decorations, it doesn't matter, there is still a long time before we enroll, before that, Dr. Sakurai will recover and help you complete the plastic surgery, more than enough."

"Sakurai-sensei!" Hearing this name, Hachisuka Mitsumi perked up, "How is the teacher's condition?"

Because she had been participating in all-day disciplinary committee activities for the past two days, Hachisuka Mitsumi had not visited Dr. Sakurai in the hospital every day as she used to.

"Dr. Sakurai has fully regained consciousness and can communicate normally, as of this afternoon," Shokuhou Misaki said, "Of course, I put in a little effort~"

"Thank you!" Hachisuka Mitsumi widened her eyes, looking at Shokuhou Misaki with a complex expression, while holding her hand and shaking it vigorously, "Thank you very much!"

"But... there's no need to be so... polite... it hurts!" Finally breaking free from Hachisuka's enthusiastic thanks, Shokuhou Misaki quickly took a few steps back, using Lin Wuming's body to block this excited girl with lingering fear.

Hachisuka Mitsumi really didn't have any malicious intent, she was just emotionally excited.

Therefore, Shokuhou Misaki couldn't criticize her, so she could only keep her distance.

"Also," poking her head out from behind Lin Wuming, looking at Hachisuka Mitsumi, "I also discussed it with Dr. Sakurai, and she really hopes that Hachisuka-san can enter Tokiwadai Middle School."

"In that case... if it's Sakurai-sensei's wish..." This time, Hachisuka Mitsumi didn't hesitate much and quickly nodded in agreement.

"Great, welcome, welcome..." Shokuhou Misaki smiled happily, subconsciously wanting to go over and shake her hand, but immediately remembered the painful experience just now, and stopped, quickly retreating back.

Lin Wuming, of course, guessed Shokuhou Misaki's plan. The Level 4 Hachisuka Mitsumi was undoubtedly a very powerful esper. In terms of destructive power alone, Kazakiri Hyouka couldn't compare to her.

Shokuhou Misaki was now so actively preparing to form her "Shokuhou Faction", how could she easily let go of such excellent talent as Hachisuka Mitsumi?

Of course, for Hachisuka Mitsumi, entering Tokiwadai Middle School and joining the Shokuhou Faction was not bad at all.

Therefore, Lin Wuming had no reason to object.

Lin Wuming turned his head, just in time to meet Shokuhou Misaki's gaze.

The girl's starry eyes twinkled, revealing a sweet smile; Shokuhou Misaki held up a finger and placed it in front of her lips.

--See through but don't say through, you have to help me keep it a secret, Wuming-senpai~

Lin Wuming nodded lightly, because he knew that Shokuhou Misaki had principles, so he didn't worry that she would use "Mental Out" to do anything excessive to the faction members.

"Tsk, Wuming-senpai's unconditional trust is really inexplicable," Shokuhou Misaki couldn't help but complain in her heart with a complicated mood, "The current me is not the innocent girl in your memory information..."

"But..." Then, Shokuhou Misaki thought helplessly, "Wuming-senpai's judgment is indeed very accurate. After all, my 'setting' is like this."

Of course, there was another reason that Lin Wuming didn't guess - Tokiwadai Middle School was a school that required boarding.

All students must live in the dormitories designated by the school, and are not allowed to live alone outside.

The Family Side apartment was not spacious - Shokuhou Misaki looked around the inside of the apartment - a small 4LDK, it would be a bit too cramped to live in three people!

Although, the density of people in the apartment where Shokuhou Misaki and the others were temporarily staying upstairs was even greater.
