A Scientific Urban Detective

Kiyama Haruue recounted her experiences and her determination to save her students. In exchange, Saidan O扇 also spoke a little about herself, but she revealed much less information, only mentioning that she was looking for her sister who had disappeared four years ago.

As expected, Kiyama Haruue cared a lot about her students. After hearing about Saidan O扇's troubles, she immediately asked, "What's your sister's name? What are her characteristics? Perhaps I can help you find her too."

The atmosphere was good, and she had already used "Mental Stinger" to check, Kiyama Haruue was not lying, she could be trusted. So Saidan O扇 felt that she could reveal more information to her.

Saidan O扇 grabbed the panda plush and took out a pendant from its belly.

Opening the pendant, inside was a treasured photo of Wu Lin Ye Xiao.

"This is my sister, Wu Lin Ye Xiao." Saidan O扇 rarely showed a gentle expression, "But this is a photo from before she disappeared. Four years have passed, and I'm not sure what my sister looks like now."

Kiyama Haruue took off her strangely shaped "Ability Amplifier" helmet and leaned over to look at the photo.

She suddenly froze, then grabbed the pendant from Saidan O扇's hand.

"Excuse me, I'll borrow this for a moment." Then she grabbed the pendant and ran back to the computer.

Saidan O扇's heart fluttered, but she did not stop Kiyama Haruue from snatching the pendant, but followed her to the computer.

Her heart inexplicably tensed—Kiyama Haruue-sensei's reaction, could it be...

Kiyama Haruue used the equipment to enlarge the thumb-sized photo in the pendant and project it onto the big screen.

Then, she took a step back and carefully examined the enlarged photo.

Because she was already very familiar with this photo, Saidan O扇 focused her attention on Kiyama Haruue-sensei.

Sure enough, she saw Kiyama Haruue nodding very confidently and saying, "I've seen this girl before!"

In order to treat her comatose students, Kiyama Haruue had been seeking medical treatment everywhere, searching for various materials, and investigating information on similar cases during this time...

During this period, she had visited almost all the hospitals in Academy City, and had personally investigated many patients who were comatose due to various intractable diseases.

Among those patients in a "vegetative state," there was this girl in the photo.

"I remember seeing her in a ward of a social welfare institution," Kiyama Haruue recalled, "The cause of her illness is unknown, and even her identity is unclear—her identity information was not found in the Library, suspected of being an illegally smuggled person."

Thanks to the fact that it was a social welfare institution, it took in the girl out of humanitarianism and had been providing her with basic recuperation and maintenance for many years.

"Because her symptoms are most similar to those of my students," Kiyama Haruue said, "I have a very deep impression, I won't be wrong!"

"Where is she? Take me there quickly!" Saidan O扇 said excitedly.

She didn't even bother to use "Mental Stinger" to judge whether Kiyama Haruue was telling the truth.

Kiyama Haruue didn't delay either, and drove Saidan O扇 to the nursing home overnight.

Saidan O扇 never expected that, by chance, her goal would suddenly be achieved in this way! It really caught her off guard.

After arriving at the scene, Saidan O扇 recognized at a glance that the girl immersed in the treatment pod was her sister, Wu Lin Ye Xiao, whom she had been thinking about day and night!

Wu Lin Ye Xiao closed her eyes tightly, as if she was fast asleep, quietly floating in the liquid.

Perhaps due to the long-term coma, Wu Lin Ye Xiao's body growth rate was also very slow. From the outside, there was almost no difference from four years ago.

Even Shokuhou Misaki's "Mental Stinger" could not wake her up.

"Her brain activity has almost stopped, and her AIM diffusion field as an esper is also so weak that it is almost zero, so it's no wonder she fell into a coma," Kiyama Haruue explained, "Moreover, her... symptoms are very similar to those of my students."

Kiyama Haruue continued, "Originally, I was just suspicious, but since Saidan-san has also come to my door..."

Saidan O扇 nodded: "As expected, it's Kihara Gensei!"

Similar symptoms, both in a long-term coma.

Saidan O扇 also found Kihara Gensei through other channels and clues... This already explained a lot.

"Don't worry, Saidan-san," Kiyama Haruue-sensei said, "I will take care of your sister here as well, as long as I can find a treatment method..."

Saidan O扇 nodded, regardless of whether Kiyama Haruue could find a way to save her students and Ye Xiao-nee, but at least, she had found her person.

Saidan O扇 felt very relieved.

The heart that had been burned by the fire of revenge for many years was finally a little calmer.

Since they had a common goal, Saidan O扇 and Kiyama Haruue naturally joined hands to work together to save the people they cared about.

It was also because of exchanging information with Kiyama Haruue and making plans for the next course of action together that Saidan O扇 simply stayed overnight in Kiyama Haruue's "laboratory" and left this morning, returning to school...

The various details during this period, of course, could not be told to others, so Saidan O扇 only explained her disappearance and overnight absence with the reason that "she fainted on the side of the road due to hypoglycemia and was rescued by a kind teacher."

All morning, Saidan O扇 was busy apologizing to the teachers and writing leave slips, as well as appeasing her faction members.

After lunch, she specially visited the Shokuhou faction and the Mizukagami faction to thank them for helping her find herself this morning.

It wasn't until close to afternoon tea time that she took the time to secretly meet with Seizai Yukari in the infirmary to share the good news that "I found Ye Xiao-nee."

Seizai Yukari was also the only person Wu Lin Ye Xiao truly trusted and could share her joy with.

Discovering that her dream had come true—Ye Xiao-nee was really still alive, and her sister was also very likely to give up her plan to retaliate against the school and Academy City, Seizai Yukari was so happy that she almost wanted to fly.

"Okay, calm down." Smiling and touching Seizai Yukari's head, Saidan O扇 said, "Be patient, I'll take you to visit Ye Xiao-nee when I have the chance."

"Yes, yes, that's great!"

"As for now..." Saidan O扇 put on her glasses and said with a smile, "It's time to meet my good ally."

Although things had taken a turn for the better, out of caution and habit, Seizai Yukari waited a few more minutes after her sister Saidan O扇 left before quietly leaving the infirmary.

"Yo, Seizai, why are you here?"

As a result, she ran into Misaka Mikoto as soon as she went out.
