Lost Narrative Poetry

The waiting process is always painful.

Four little girls were lurking in this alley eagerly. Although there were shadows, it was still extremely hot and sweaty.

As time passed, the sun hanging high in the sky slowly changed its position, following its trajectory from east to west, indicating the change of time... However, they looked through the autumn water and did not wait for what they expected to see. The appearance of that figure.

This residential area is not particularly remote, but it is still far inferior to those areas where people come and go, and the number of pedestrians on the road is also sparse.

This is easy to understand. First of all, this is not a commercial district shopping street. It is just a residential area with low rent as its only advantage. Naturally, the flow of people cannot be that big... Especially in such a hot summer, if people go to play If so, I definitely wouldn’t come to this place.

And people who originally live in this place also go to other places to play. Even if they don't go to play, they will definitely squat at home instead of going out to bask in the sun.

Therefore, this situation is not surprising, it can only be said to be the most normal.

But it was exactly this that made them appear particularly suspicious. After all, in the dark and remote alley, the four of them poked their heads out one after another, sneaking around as if they were thieves, sizing up the passers-by on the street outside.

Such a scene will inevitably make people think too much, but fortunately it was four lovely girls, otherwise, the already sparse pedestrians would have been even fewer.

After all, who is not afraid of being caught in an alley accidentally, being treated inhumanely, doing all kinds of things, and ultimately losing both people and money?

Academy City has never been known for its good security.

I don’t know how long it took, when the fierce and vicious sun gradually lost its scorching heat and became gentle, and when the breeze blowing on the hot streets began to have a hint of coolness, it was no longer as vicious and threatening as before. .

Time has come unknowingly when school is over, and the blades of the power-generating windmill are also shining in the sunset.

"Misaka-senpai, do we have to wait any longer?"

The girl with long black hair and straight hair, who had been tortured by the hot summer heat all afternoon, probably felt that it was really not an option to continue like this, so she raised her hand and weakly asked the question.

"I..." Misaka Mikoto opened her mouth, just looking at the mental state of the three friends around her, and finally lowered her shoulders dejectedly, not persisting anymore, "Maybe she really ran away, I'm sorry, I let you all go in vain A whole day wasted..."

Her shoulder-length brown hair shined red as if burning in the setting sun.

The girl's cheeks were also stained red. I don't know whether it was because of the sweltering heat, anger, or shame.

Maybe, after all, Misaka Mikoto really felt confident and confident at the beginning. She even felt a little bit because of her flash of inspiration, connecting the clues she had, and confirming the general direction of the investigation. Excitement and pride.

This is understandable and human nature, just like many people do not check the guide, but rely on their keen insight and reasoning ability to solve certain difficult puzzles in the game, and they will feel a sense of accomplishment and pride.

What's more, she is just a little girl, so it is not surprising that she would behave like this.

But now it seems that the plot did not develop as she imagined. Maybe the person ran away immediately after committing the crime. Although Misaka Mikoto had clues, they were all outdated information, but they were still stupidly squatting here. A whole afternoon!

If we were to get more conspiracy-minded, maybe even last night's "accidental encounter" might have been deliberately planned. That neurotic guy was using her to create suspicion after today's crime. A cover to distract the disciplinary committee’s attention...

Anyway, the more I think about it, the angrier she becomes. Misaka Mikoto is just glad now——

Fortunately, I couldn't confirm it before, so I didn't leak this information to the security guards and others, and just acted with Heizi and the others. Otherwise, it would be really embarrassing.

"Okay, let's go. I'm sorry that the first day of your vacation was wasted like this..." However, the brown-haired girl still felt very sorry. She looked at her friends around her and said, "Let's go, I invite you. drink……"

"Don't say that, Misaka-senpai, in fact, today's experience...well, that, I mean, it was also very, very interesting..."

Saten Ruiko waved her hands repeatedly and comforted Misaka Mikoto. However, although she was very gentle and considerate, her words became more and more stuttering. It seemed that even she herself did not believe what she said. .

Misaka Mikoto couldn't help but laugh a few times, feeling more and more embarrassed, and her face was a little uneasy, but she also knew that Ruizi meant well and was not sarcastic.

She looked around at the expressions and mental states of her friends, and decisively waved to change the topic:

"Let's go, I remember there was a vending machine on the way here..."

…

…

At the same time, on the street not far from the four people.

"After so much effort, you just let her go? What are you planning on?" Jie Biao Danxi held the documents in her arms and weakly followed the magician in front of her. "Are you preparing to play hard to get and play a long game to catch the big fish?"

She recalled the scene not long ago and stared at Xia Ran's back with some suspicion, her eyes becoming more alert.

The main reason was that Index still resolutely chose to leave alone. She was unwilling to continue to act with Xia Ran and refused to tell them what was going on with her. Her attitude was very resolute——

She was really determined. Even when Xia Ran said that she would take care of her and treat her to a big meal, the little silver-haired nun took less than half a minute to make a firm choice. He said that he owed this meal for now, and she would come back to eat later.

The magician didn't force himself, pretending not to know anything or having any doubts, he said goodbye to the little nun with a smile and watched her leave.

Index knew that she was not out of danger yet and did not want to implicate anyone.

Xia Ran felt that the level of interference was enough. At least Index would not encounter any problems today. After all, Steele was sent to the hospital by himself. Kanzaki Kaori should be suspicious now and would not leave his teammates rashly. action.

So there is really no need for him to keep an eye on Index. If the little nun insists, he will not persist. In that case, he will appear suspicious... Although the character is broken, it will fall apart, but he I still want to maintain it as much as possible.

Both of them had their own reasons, but Jiebiao Danxi didn't know it, so from her perspective, it was really impossible to understand what this person was thinking.

Naturally, this twin-tailed man couldn't help but make up his own mind. From the perspective of having a prejudice against a certain person, he thought that this should be another one of this scumbag's... tricks for this person to deceive girls.

"No, what are you thinking? How is this possible?" Xia Ran shook his head without looking back, decisively denying such a thing.

"No?" The girl with twin ponytails was still full of doubts. She didn't really believe that the other party really had no idea. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to explain this guy's series of behaviors.

"Yes, it didn't take a lot of effort." The magician turned around and repeated seriously.

"..."

"..."

You really can't have a deep friendship with this kind of person.

Jiebiao Danxi was silent for a moment: "I think it is necessary to remind you that she is not yet an adult. Although Academy City is equivalent to a small independent country, the laws in this area are also very complete."

Three years to start? The maximum death penalty?

"The law can no longer stop me..."

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Xia Ran continued to move forward very disapprovingly. He actually had no idea about Index's little silver-haired nun, and the purpose of intervening was mainly to interfere with the plot and try to arouse certain changes to find the opportunities you need.

He is not someone else's chess piece, he is also qualified to be a chess player.

However, these things are not suitable to talk to this girl. Not to mention that there are loops of air everywhere in the air, Aleister must have part of his attention always paying attention to himself, even if it is him and Yu. Biao Danxi said it, but the other party couldn't understand or believe it.

Of course, there is no need to just say it, so he just has to endure the humiliation and bear the slander.

It’s not painful or itchy anyway…

"Is this a declaration of crime?"

Jiebiao Danxi took a deep breath. She didn't know how many times she had done this subconsciously today. Only in this way could she barely suppress the pressure in her head.

She was already considering calling the police, but unfortunately it would be of no use.

"No... By the way, after such a long time, have you thought about it clearly?"

The magician looked at the drink vending machine on the roadside not far away, and the four exhausted and listless girls gathered in front of the vending machine. As he walked over there, he said in a very casual tone:

"You can recover in one course of treatment, and you can start right now if you want."

"No."

The girl with twin tails responded very coldly.

"Huh? Haven't you decided yet?"

Standing in line behind the four girls in front, Xia Ran frowned and turned to look at her.

"Could it be that psychological shadows and mental trauma can lead to feelings after being together for many years? It's been so long, so you're not willing to throw it away?"

Jiebiao Danxi rolled her eyes and no longer wanted to answer this person's question.

"No, if you think about it again, you can recover in one course of treatment. In just a blink of an eye, you can become the eighth person!" Xia Ran worked very hard to sell his conscientious treatment course, "Become a CEO and become white Rich and beautiful, reaching the pinnacle of life is not a dream!”

"puff……"

A girl with long black hair and straight hair in the front couldn't help laughing. Her laughter seemed hearty and energetic. Then, the girl and her friend beside her subconsciously turned around and looked at the queue behind them. of two people.

Then--

"Huh?"

Saten Ruiko blinked her eyes, her expression seemed to be a little confused. Why did she always feel that the young man behind her who was queuing up and talking strange words to his companions seemed to be familiar. Have you seen him somewhere? With?

Instinctively, she turned her head slightly and looked at her friend next to her. She found that Shiri Uiharu also had a puzzled expression on her face, as if he was hesitant. She felt that this person looked familiar but couldn't remember what was going on for a while.

It can only be said that after squatting under the fierce sun for so long in the hot summer, their current mental state and thinking ability seem a bit sluggish, and their state is depressed to a certain extent. Although they have not suffered from heat stroke, they are still different. Not far away.

Therefore, they were all a little confused, and their minds couldn't turn around at all for a while.

Misaka Mikoto was in the same state at this time, and she was competing with the vending machine. She punched the area near the coin slot with her fist in annoyance: "What's wrong with you! Give me a reaction!"

It seems that the vending machines in Academy City, whose overall technology is 20 to 30 years more advanced than the outside world, have once again appeared to only accept money and do nothing. No matter how much the tea-haired girl hammers and beats, the heavy and huge machine will just say nothing. Hang Di Pestle stood there motionless, as if laughing at her useless childish behavior.

She was already in a bad mood because of what just happened, and now she was even more eager to buy her friends a drink to make up for her guilt. Misaka Mikoto was so angry and anxious that she could hardly help but shake her angrily. Flying kick vending machine.

However, Shirai Kuroko held his waist tightly and stopped him: "Onee-sama, don't do this... don't do this, onee-sama..."

This is basically the situation.

What is the daily life of a female junior high school student?

Xia Ran thought this and nodded politely to Saten Ruiko and Uiharu Shiri who turned around: "Hello."

"Hello...Hello..."

The two little girls who were still confused had no time to recall the key memory, and were interrupted by his sudden friendly greeting. They could only nod with blushing faces, and responded somewhat unaccustomedly.

After all, if we only look at appearance, Xia Ran is indeed worthy of the evaluation of "he is as jade-like as a jade, and the empty carriage throws fruit into the car", with a detached and distorted temperament.

It is normal for a girl who is not familiar with the world to have ups and downs in her heart.

"Well, I mainly don't believe in people with abilities like yours. Who knows what you will do to my memory in the process..." Jie Biao Danxi interrupted impatiently, "Instead of saying I, it is better to finish your work as soon as possible, I have been delayed for most of the day today..."

As she spoke, she gestured to the document she was holding in her arms.

"You can't rush this kind of thing, you have to think about it carefully..." The magician waved his hand and continued to talk perfunctorily.

"What are you thinking about? You don't even know how to fill in your own information?" The twin-tails lowered their heads weakly.

"The main reason is that I don't know how to fill in my abilities. Aleister's method of collecting information is really too direct and crude, with no technical content at all." The magician put his hand on his chin and said thoughtfully, " Even though he told me not to be a student, he still wanted to identify me as an ability user, and I still had to think of my own nickname..."

"Since you're so disgusted with it, why don't you just deal with it yourself and fill in something?"

Jiebiao Danxi glanced ahead and found that the girl with long black hair and the girl with a flower plate on her head were listening to their conversation with some curiosity.

She originally wanted to stop him, but she felt that since this person didn't intend to keep it a secret, there was no need for her to do anything extra.

"That's not okay. I'm the kind of person who is very particular about names in the game. I can't get along with you guys who don't even want to dress like someone else in the cutscenes." Xia Ran shook his head repeatedly, "Also Nicknames and the like must also be impressive, so that everyone will know that they can never mess with me..."

"Then what do you plan to give your nickname?"

Jie Biao Danxi curled her lips, but the nicknames of those with super powers quickly flashed through her mind.

Accelerator, Atom Breaking, Psychological Mastery...these are all good expressions of their abilities and their power. What kind of nickname would this person give himself?

"How about calling it "Wind Spirit Moon Shadow"? "

"..."

"..."

"Is this a title that everyone will know immediately they must not mess with?" the girl with twin tails asked in confusion.

"Isn't it?" The magician opposite seemed more confused than she was.
