A Scientific Urban Detective

At the tea party, in addition to the various teas and snacks provided by the school cafeteria, students also brewed their own tea and coffee, and even brought their own homemade snacks to share and taste.

As the actual manager of the Shokuhou Faction, Runko Kaizumi was unexpectedly popular among the students, especially the first and second years, many of whom were her fans.

Not only members of the Shokuhou Faction, but in fact, many students from outside the faction, and even members of other factions, would come to admire her, bringing their own homemade snacks, tea, or coffee during afternoon tea to ask Runko Kaizumi to taste.

It could be said that if Runko Kaizumi was willing to go solo and form her own "Kaizumi Faction", the number of people she could attract would probably be much larger than the current Shokuhou Faction.

Today was naturally no exception, as Runko Kaizumi was immediately surrounded by a group of girls as soon as she appeared.

Runko Kaizumi was already used to such scenes and skillfully dealt with the students.

"Kaizumi-sama! My family sent some good coffee beans, please be sure to try them…"

A short-haired second-year girl walked over with freshly brewed coffee.

"It seems like I've had a bit too much coffee today…" Runko Kaizumi was a little troubled, but she didn't refuse the girl's invitation, and instead took the initiative to stand up to greet her.

Perhaps because of excitement or nervousness, the short-haired girl seemed dazed for a moment, tripped, and fell forward!

Runko Kaizumi reacted quickly and rushed forward to support her.

Although the girl didn't fall, much of the coffee in her hand inevitably spilled, and almost all of it splashed towards Runko Kaizumi.

Her clothes were fine, as Runko Kaizumi had excellent athletic reflexes and actively avoided the coffee liquid, but her gorgeous long hair was beyond the control of her athletic reflexes—her left braid and the hair tie that held it together were hit directly.

Although Runko Kaizumi had accepted the "classic hairstyle" of spiral curls at Shokuhou Misaki's recommendation, she hadn't given up her original double braids.

Iruka Yumiya had specially given her beautiful hair ties, and Runko Kaizumi didn't want to waste them, so she often switched between the two hairstyles.

Today it was double braids…

The short-haired girl came back to her senses and realized that she had made a big mistake, and hurriedly bowed and apologized, looking very remorseful.

"Don't worry about it," Runko Kaizumi didn't blame her, but instead asked with concern, "Are you okay? Did you fall just now? Did you get burned? Are you feeling unwell?"

Runko Kaizumi's gentleness made the other girl even more guilty.

"Kaizumi-sama! I'm very sorry for getting your hair and hair tie dirty, please let me make it up to you!"

The girl took the initiative to propose a plan to clean the hair tie and compensate Runko Kaizumi with a new pair of hair ties.

Not wanting the other girl to feel too guilty, Runko Kaizumi very considerately agreed to the "compensation measure."

After untying the dirty hair tie and giving it to her, Runko Kaizumi hurried to the washroom to clean the coffee stains from her hair.

The short-haired girl also hurried away with the hair tie.

Then, in an empty classroom not far away, she handed the hair tie to Saten Ruiko.

Saten Ruiko then gave her a replacement hair tie of the same style and said, "Go ahead, after washing it, just return this one to Runko Kaizumi."

The short-haired girl turned and walked out of the classroom, then suddenly seemed to come to her senses, tilted her head, and looked puzzled, not knowing why she had come here, and not even realizing what had just happened.

Putting away the mobile phone camera from Mii Aiyu, Saten Ruiko picked up the newly acquired hair tie, carefully folded it, and stuffed it into the panda doll.

"The most important piece of the puzzle is now in my hands…"

Then, Riri Wulili sent a mini flashlight—this was Iruka Yumiya's "symbol."

"Saten-sama, I've checked it, this is just an ordinary flashlight, a mass-produced product that can be bought at any supermarket," Riri Wulili said.

Iruka Yumiya's "wave operation" wasn't a particularly critical or important ability, so Saten Ruiko didn't take action herself, but instead handed it over to her subordinates.

Of course, the excuse was—she was somewhat concerned about Iruka Yumiya's ability and wanted to investigate whether there were any secrets hidden in her usual props.

Although the "theft" wasn't very honorable, if it was for the purpose of investigating "intelligence about the abilities of members of enemy factions"—in the brutal factional struggle, this level of action wasn't considered too excessive.

At the same time, one of Iruka Yumiya's classmates was apologizing to her.

"I'm sorry, I lost your flashlight! I'll compensate you with a new flashlight!"

This wasn't a conspiracy, it was just simply lost—she had indeed borrowed the flashlight from Iruka Yumiya to find something that had fallen into a dark place.

Unexpectedly, she was pickpocketed by a member of the Saten Faction…

However, it was indeed just an ordinary flashlight, so Iruka Yumiya wasn't very concerned and immediately forgave her classmate's mistake.

Then, during physical education class in the afternoon, Keisaku Kankitsu suddenly exclaimed.

"What's wrong? Keep it down, it won't be good if the teacher finds out!" Shokuhou Misaki quickly said.

Shokuhou Misaki, who wasn't good at sports, was reducing her presence, hiding at the edge of the pool, paddling and loafing around. If the teacher noticed her, she would definitely be asked to swim desperately, right?

With the remote control not by her side, it wasn't very convenient to activate her ability, which caused Shokuhou Misaki a lot of trouble.

Keisaku Kankitsu was quite good at sports and didn't dislike swimming, but she still chose to stay and play in the water with Shokuhou Misaki.

Also because of physical education class, Keisaku Kankitsu's "Little Shadow" couldn't be brought in, so she had to leave it outside the swimming pool.

Keisaku Kankitsu was controlling it remotely from inside.

As long as she used the high-performance portable camera equipped on Little Shadow, Keisaku Kankitsu could control her "liquefied human shadow" beyond visual range, which was very convenient and easy to use.

And the swimming goggles she was wearing on her face at this time were actually a high-tech device that had been modified into a portable display screen.

Unlike the machine idiot Shokuhou Misaki, Keisaku Kankitsu was very good at using various instruments and equipment, and was taking the opportunity to debug these new equipment at this time.

But just now, the image on the display screen suddenly went out.

"Signal lost…" Keisaku Kankitsu frowned, "It shouldn't be, it hasn't exceeded the communication distance yet, could it be that it encountered electromagnetic interference?"

"Electromagnetic interference…" Shokuhou Misaki looked at the other side of the pool, "Misaka doesn't seem to be discharging either."

"Of course, Misaka-san isn't the only source of interference in reality," Keisaku Kankitsu retorted, "Well, it seems that the new equipment is still not very stable."

Just as she was sighing, Keisaku Kankitsu exclaimed again: "No, this reaction… Little Shadow has been attacked!"
