A Scientific Urban Detective

Seemingly finally realizing there was a member of the opposite sex in the house, Aiho Yomikawa finally remembered to go back to her room to get dressed.

Because she usually liked to wear loose-fitting sportswear, Aiho Yomikawa's exaggeratedly good figure was well hidden, so much so that it was often overlooked.

Only now, because she had just come out of the bath, could a glimpse of the truth be seen—it was really difficult to cover everything with just a thin bath towel; in order to cover her lower body, most of her northern hemisphere was almost completely exposed to the air.

Of course, it was also because there were only girls at home before, so Aiho Yomikawa didn't care much.

But after Lin Wuming came home and suddenly saw this scene, he had a feeling of not knowing where to put his eyes.

Fortunately, Aiho Yomikawa was also aware of the situation and immediately turned around and went back to her room to get dressed.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Lin Wuming breathed a sigh of relief, turned his gaze back, and looked into the room.

"Speaking of... where's Misaki Shokuhou?" Lin Wuming couldn't find the other girl's figure.

"She's taking a bath in the bathroom." Mikoto Misaka pointed back to the room filled with water vapor.

"Eh? Why is she taking a bath here?" Lin Wuming was stunned and asked almost the same question as Mikoto Misaka just now.

"Well, it's complicated to explain... In short, it's because Shokuhou is an athletic idiot, right?" Mikoto Misaka said, subconsciously turning her head to look at the washroom, "Huh? Why isn't the door closed!"

She even saw a beautiful figure at the entrance of the washroom...

Realizing that something was wrong, Mikoto Misaka quickly pounced forward and reached out to block Lin Wuming's sight: "Ah, you're not allowed to look there!"

For the same reason, because there were only girls at home just now, Aiho Yomikawa didn't close the door of the washroom, and Mikoto Misaka even greeted Misaki Shokuhou in the bathtub.

As a result, after Lin Wuming came back, she was still unprepared.

Moreover, that idiot Misaki Shokuhou even ran to the door to peek out, not knowing what she wanted to see!

It seemed that she was still a step too late, and accidentally met Lin Wuming's eyes. Misaki Shokuhou exclaimed and hurriedly ran back.

As expected, she fell on the slippery ground.

The sound effect of "plop" was very vivid, and Mikoto Misaka couldn't help but get goosebumps.

"Wow, that sounds painful..."

Lin Wuming smiled wryly and said, "What are you doing? Are you hurt?"

Amidst Misaki Shokuhou's suppressed sobs, Lin Wuming used his telekinesis to move her back into the bathtub water.

"What happened just now? Did Shokuhou fall?" Aiho Yomikawa, who had just put on her underwear, heard the noise and ran out quickly.

The house was in chaos again...

Finally, after the girls busied themselves for a long time, they helped Misaki Shokuhou dry her body, put on her clothes, put an ice pack on her forehead, and returned to the living room to sit down.

"It's just a little bruise," Aiho Yomikawa made a diagnosis, "It just so happened that she had just taken a bath, and her blood circulation is accelerated, so the swelling will go down quickly, don't worry."

After saying that, she took the beer and snacks prepared by Lin Wuming and went out to find Tsuzuri Tetsuun.

"By the way, Wuming, several of us teachers are going to a cocktail party tonight, so we won't be back for dinner, please help yourselves!" Before going out, Aiho Yomikawa turned her head and said again.

"Hey, you're bringing beer to a cocktail party?"

"This is afternoon tea!"

"This alcoholic is hopeless..." Lin Wuming shook his head and sighed.

"Hmph, alcoholic... you really don't know a good heart when you see one." After closing the door, Aiho Yomikawa couldn't help but mutter, "I'm kindly leaving you time and space!"

The close relationship between Lin Wuming and those girls was no longer a secret. Anyone who knew them could see it at a glance.

Lin Wuming's personality was too mature, so he couldn't see anything, but the attitudes of Misaki Shokuhou, Mikoto Misaka, and Toumi Kohachi were very obvious.

As a "parent" and guardian, Aiho Yomikawa would of course create opportunities for them.

"Ugh... really... it's really speechless..." Misaki Shokuhou withdrew her gaze from the door,捂着额头上的冰袋, and muttered weakly.

"You really cause trouble for people," Mikoto Misaka complained from the side, "As expected, you can't do without Kazari Uiharu taking care of you."

At this time, the miniature Misaka Worst walked over with a tray.

"Our afternoon tea is also ready. Misaka Misaka is enthusiastically acting as a waiter."

"Shokuhou, this is for you." Lin Wuming walked out with a large plate of freshly baked cookies and took a cup of hot cocoa from Misaka Worst's tray and handed it to Misaki Shokuhou.

"I added a lot of sugar, so it should be okay," Lin Wuming said, "It is said that eating sweets can relieve pain."

"Um... thank you." Misaki Shokuhou took the drink and took a small sip.

"By the way, why did you run to the door just now?" Mikoto Misaka asked.

"I went to close the door, is there a problem?" Misaki Shokuhou rolled her eyes.

"Okay, let's leave it at that." Lin Wuming clapped his hands and announced that he would skip the somewhat embarrassing scene just now, "Since you are all here, there is something I can announce."

"Is it about Chairman Aleister calling you just now?" Mikoto Misaka asked, as if she had thought of something.

"Eh? Chairman Aleister, he called Wuming-senpai again today?" Misaki Shokuhou quickly looked over.

"Yes, that's why I asked Mikoto to send Little Misaka back." Lin Wuming nodded, "But please rest assured, this time I wasn't assigned any tasks, and there was nothing special. It's just that... the chairman seems to suggest that I enroll in a certain high school next year."

"Just for this matter?" Mikoto Misaka said in surprise, "With Wuming-senpai's ability and grades, it shouldn't be a problem to go to any school you want, let alone just an ordinary high school."

But seeing Lin Wuming and Misaki Shokuhou exchange glances and reveal that familiar inscrutable expression, Mikoto Misaka rolled her eyes greatly—okay, it seems that there are "secrets" among them that only they know.

For the uninformed Mikoto Misaka, it was a bit inexplicable that Chairman Aleister specifically called Lin Wuming over just to allow him to enroll in a certain high school.

But Misaki Shokuhou knew that this meant that Chairman Aleister's attitude towards Lin Wuming had changed further.

He actually allowed Lin Wuming, the biggest "unstable factor" in recent times, to approach Touma Kamijou! It was really unusual.

Or, as Lin Wuming guessed—Chairman Aleister was preparing to let Lin Wuming "protect" Touma Kamijou.

At least, he was using Lin Wuming's characteristic of "attracting incidents" to attract some firepower for Touma Kamijou.
