A Scientific Urban Detective

"To deal with certain dangerous experimental creatures? That... is a plausible reason." Aiho Yomikawa and the other teachers around her nodded.

Academy City has no shortage of experiments, especially "biological experiments"—if the concept of "biological" is broadened, in fact, the espers in this city are also so-called "experimental creatures."

In fact, most of the tasks accepted by "Bio-Era" are of this type—experimental subjects going berserk or trying to escape.

They are similar to the dark side organization "Hound" that Lin Wuming encountered before.

However, "Bio-Era" is a mercenary organization, not a dark side organization. They are not affiliated and are not regulated, so they act even more unscrupulously.

"They deserve to die, those guys!" Aiho Yomikawa snorted.

"But the problem is, the company that hired them to come to Academy City has not contacted them again," the security guard who introduced the situation continued, "So they can only make a living on their own and take on those tasks."

"Then, who hired them in the first place?" Aiho Yomikawa grasped the key point.

"L.S.S, a well-known biological research and animal protection organization."

...

"Wait, that's Junko-nee's phone call." Misaki Shokuhou suddenly stopped and took out her phone from her bag.

She recently learned a new skill: setting different ringtones for different caller IDs, so she can identify who is calling by the ringtone.

"We sneaked out to play without calling Fūka-san. She will definitely be angry when she finds out," Mitsuari Ayu said from the side.

"Junko-nee wouldn't get angry over such a thing," Misaki Shokuhou said, "Besides... we're not out here to play."

It was already nine o'clock at night, which was far beyond the permitted curfew time, no matter how you looked at it.

Although the place they live now doesn't have a so-called "curfew time," there is a whole building of teachers living with them. If they get caught by anyone, they will probably be lectured!

It's only because "Mental Out" Misaki Shokuhou is leading the team that they dare to go out so unscrupulously.

Because Misaki Shokuhou found a clue about Shunsen Kudou.

That man is ostensibly the biggest culprit of "Artificial Atelier," so Misaki Shokuhou and the others must find and catch him no matter what.

Moreover, the attack that Lin Wuming encountered not long ago was also blamed on Shunsen Kudou, so they can't let him go even more!

However, the news they found this time was very ambiguous and couldn't be completely confirmed, so Misaki Shokuhou decided to check the situation first and then make further plans after confirming it.

—This couldn't be helped. Tōmi Kohachi and Lin Wuming were both not at home today. They said they were participating in a Judgment's training camp and needed to spend the entire weekend there.

So, Misaki Shokuhou, Mitsuari Ayu, Dolly, and the Tolly sisters, a total of four people, quietly sneaked out of the apartment.

One Level 5, one Level 4, and two Level 3s, this configuration is no worse than the dark side "ITEM" and "SCHOOL," so there is no need to worry too much about safety.

However, although they said they came out to verify information, it eventually turned into a team outing and shopping spree.

The Academy City at night has a unique flavor, especially in the areas where college students and adults are often active, truly showcasing the "sleepless city" characteristics of a modern metropolis.

For various reasons, the four girls, including Misaki Shokuhou, rarely have the opportunity to stroll through the night market like this, so they inevitably become addicted and linger.

As for the whereabouts of Shunsen Kudou... that information has been proven to be false, so there is no need to spend extra effort on it.

Just then, Junko Hokaze called.

Because her faction activities were delayed for some time, Junko Hokaze realized that it was past curfew time when she came back to her senses, and she didn't have time to leave the School Garden.

So she had to call back to explain the situation to Misaki Shokuhou.

Today is Friday. According to the custom of the previous two weeks, Junko Hokaze would return to Family Side after school on Friday to reunite with Misaki Shokuhou and the others.

But this time, it can only be delayed until tomorrow.

"Don't worry about such a small matter." Hearing Junko Hokaze's constant apologies, Misaki Shokuhou said, "Junko-nee, don't be too tired, remember to rest well!"

"...Don't worry, there won't be any danger. I'm Level 5 'Mental Out,' no one can hurt me," Misaki Shokuhou said confidently, "And Ayu-chan and Dolly and Tolly are here. Even if there are delinquents approaching, they can be driven away in a few hits."

Hearing that the Queen was out for a night tour, Junko Hokaze's first reaction was indeed worry, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that the possibility of them encountering danger was small, so she felt relieved.

"Then, please, Queen, be moderate and don't play too late," Junko Hokaze patiently advised.

At the same time, she also felt a little regret in her heart—I wish I could take a walk and play with the Queen too.

"Don't worry, Junko-nee." The Queen's gentle voice came from the phone, "We found a lot of interesting places today. After Junko-nee comes back tomorrow, let's go together again!"

Junko Hokaze immediately smiled happily and was about to agree when she suddenly heard a commotion and exclamations from the phone—

"Look, no, get out of the way! It's a dragon!"

"What what? This is a dragon? This is just a monster!"

Two voices of the same tone, probably the Dolly and Tolly sisters.

Then came Mitsuari Ayu's shout: "You two take Shokuhou and leave, I'll find a way to hold it back!"

"Dinosaurs are one thing, but what's with the flying dragon that only appears in myths? Why not make it even more outrageous!" Misaki Shokuhou's voice also revealed a hint of panic.

—Dragon? Flying dragon? The Queen and the others encountered a flying dragon?

Junko Hokaze outlined the image of a "flying dragon" in her mind.

Because it was Misaki Shokuhou who said it, she didn't doubt its authenticity at all.

If a dragon really attacks the Queen...

Junko Hokaze looked at the window next to the corridor. The night sky outside the window was peaceful and serene, and the huge commotion coming from the other side of the phone seemed like two different worlds.

"Queen! I'm coming over right away, please be sure to protect yourself!" Unable to think too much, Junko Hokaze opened the window and prepared to jump out.

"Hokaze-san." Someone suddenly called out to her from behind.

"Sachikura-sama!" Seeing the person clearly, Junko Hokaze was shocked.

"It seems that Shokuhou-san is in trouble?" Sachikura Reiri asked, "Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation, but your voice was a little loud just now, so..."

"Ah, it was rude of me!" Junko Hokaze quickly bowed, "Please forgive my continued rudeness next, I'm going to violate the school rules and leave the School Garden!"

Junko Hokaze said with a determined face.

"No, don't be so nervous," Sachikura Reiri said with a smile, "What I mean is that the security measures around the dormitory area are very strict. You will definitely be discovered if you go out from here."

"But..."

"Hear me out," Sachikura Reiri raised her palm to stop her, "Go directly to the main gate, I can take you out."

"Eh? Really!" Junko Hokaze said in surprise.

"Of course, after all, I am also the leader of Tokiwadai's largest faction... although it is the former largest faction." Shaking her head self-deprecatingly, Sachikura Reiri said, "But, it's okay to be a little willful occasionally."

"Tha...thank you very much, Sachikura-sama!" Junko Hokaze ran up to her and shook the faction leader's hand vigorously.
