A Scientific Urban Detective

Not intentional? Kimiho Awasuki doubted that—if he really wasn't good at sweet talk, how did Lin Wuming manage to win the favor of so many girls?

"Forget it, let me ask you." But Lin Wuming was already a big shot, so Kimiho Awasuki didn't want to dwell on the topic. She stroked the small massager on her neck and asked, "Did you meet a magician this time?"

"Yes," Lin Wuming nodded. "A real magician—he said he came to see Chairman Aleister, so…"

"That's right," Kimiho Awasuki nodded as well. "I've seen him too—that strange priest."

Seeming to have her attention diverted by the new topic, Kimiho Awasuki's expression improved a lot. She chuckled and looked at Lin Wuming. "I understand now. So-called magicians are completely different from us espers. Your ability applications are indeed diverse, but that's not magic."

"Yeah," Lin Wuming patted the tablet in his arms. "Espers and magicians have completely different worldviews at their foundations… I wonder if I can understand any of this…"

"I wanted to remind you that it's best for us espers not to get too deeply involved with magic," Kimiho Awasuki shook her head. "But Lin Wuming, you are someone Chairman Aleister values, so there's no need for me to say more."

With that, Kimiho Awasuki turned and left. Although it wasn't obvious, a careful observer could tell that she was walking with a slight limp.

"Hey, do you want me to take you back?" Lin Wuming asked.

"My injury doesn't affect my walking," Kimiho Awasuki waved her hand. "It's just psychological. And, I told you not to bring up that topic!"

"Alright, I wish you a speedy recovery," Lin Wuming said softly.

Seeing Kimiho Awasuki "repeat her mistake" and being unable to do anything to change it, Lin Wuming felt somewhat guilty.

As a transmigrator who knew the original plot, Lin Wuming theoretically had the opportunity to avoid Kimiho Awasuki's tragedy.

However, Kimiho Awasuki couldn't really be considered a member of the "main character group," so Lin Wuming paid much less attention to her.

In addition, Lin Wuming thought he was already too late—Kimiho Awasuki had already experienced the ability accident and developed a psychological shadow—so he didn't remind her to be careful of ability accidents.

"What a pity, she originally had the chance to become a Level 5 spatial ability user," Lin Wuming lamented.

Without becoming enemies, Lin Wuming also really wanted to see just how powerful a Level 5 spatial ability user could be!

"A Level 5 spatial ability user?" Someone suddenly chimed in beside him. "Are you referring to Kimiho-senpai from earlier?"

"…Shirai Kuroko," Lin Wuming turned his head helplessly. "Don't suddenly appear next to me, it's scary."

Lin Wuming was very worried that his startle reflex would send this girl flying.

"Sorry," Shirai Kuroko quickly took half a step back, revealing another girl beside her. "It was Misaka-senpai's designated position."

"Eh, me?" Misaka Mikoto pointed at herself. "Well, I did say I wanted to teleport directly next to Wuming-senpai."

A little while later, Shokuhou Misaki and Kohou Toumi also arrived and joined Lin Wuming.

"How was it? Did the Chairman give a diagnosis?" Misaka Mikoto asked, brushing a strand of white hair from Lin Wuming's forehead.

"Unfortunately…" Lin Wuming shook his head. "Chairman Aleister couldn't figure it out either."

"What are we going to do?"

"We can only leave it for now," Lin Wuming said nonchalantly. "At least, it doesn't seem to be harmful at the moment."

"Wuming…" Kohou Toumi came behind the wheelchair, reaching out her arms as if to hug him, and pulled Lin Wuming's head into her chest. "It's always like this—you get caught up in all sorts of strange battles when I'm not around.

—We promised, you can't leave me behind, we have to fight side-by-side!

Kohou Toumi murmured, gently stroking Lin Wuming's forehead.

Despite the very soft sensation on the back of his head, Lin Wuming didn't have time to appreciate it. Instead, he felt a chill run down his spine.

From his personal experience, Kohou Toumi's actions were less like a "hug" and more like a "strangulation" preparation pose.

"Kohou, let go of him!" Not only did Lin Wuming think so, but Misaka Mikoto, as an observer, also came to the same conclusion.

And—boldly hugging Lin Wuming in broad daylight, or trying to strangle him.

Which of these two things did she care more about? Misaka Mikoto was confused.

"Alright, stop messing around," Shokuhou Misaki couldn't stand it anymore and stepped in to stop this farce.

Misaka Mikoto would short-circuit and react strangely when she was emotional or embarrassed; as for Kohou Toumi… she was just purely mentally unstable, a madwoman.

—To be targeted by these two women, Wuming-senpai is really unlucky.

Shokuhou Misaki silently felt sorry for Lin Wuming—it seemed that in the end, she would have to personally take charge of the situation.

Seeming to feel that her warning had indeed been conveyed to Lin Wuming, Kohou Toumi finally let go, naturally transitioning to pushing the wheelchair and walking back.

…

"Misaka-senpai…" Shirai Kuroko softly reminded, "Wuming-senpai and the others have already gone far away."

"Eh?" Misaka Mikoto suddenly came back to her senses. "We should hurry up and catch up…"

Shirai Kuroko didn't move. She smiled at Misaka Mikoto. "It's not convenient for me to continue participating, right? So, I'll go back first."

"Eh?" Misaka Mikoto was stunned.

"You're going to Wuming-senpai's house next, right?" Shirai Kuroko revealed a hint of helplessness. "Cheer up, Misaka-senpai! If you're always spacing out like this, you really might not be able to win against the other two senpais!"

"Eh! Kuroko, you…"

—How do you know that I'm competing with Shokuhou Misaki and Kohou Toumi?

Although she didn't have telepathy, Shirai Kuroko could see through her roommate's thoughts at a glance.

"It's not a secret at all," Shirai Kuroko said. "Everyone at school knows."

—Everyone knows that the Queen of the Shokuhou Faction and the Electromaster Princess are fighting over a man…

"Damn it! Didn't you say you'd block the information and keep it a secret!" Misaka Mikoto cursed Shokuhou Misaki in her heart for being unreliable.

"I was just concerned about the aftermath of the special incident last night and Wuming-senpai's condition, so I shamelessly asked Misaka-senpai to bring me here," Shirai Kuroko said. "Now that I've investigated enough, I should say goodbye and not continue to bother you."

Shirai Kuroko lifted her skirt and gave a slight curtsy.
