A Scientific Urban Detective

“I’m so envious, Senior Munou has such a good teacher…” Back home, Sazuchi Charyou, having shed her disguise, couldn't help but exclaim loudly.

“What is it now?” As usual, Shirakinu Takibi, who liked to stand by the window watching the scenery below, casually responded, “Is school life not going well?”

“I lost track of Senior Munou again today,” Charyou complained, “because our homeroom teacher wouldn't approve my leave.”

“That's because you've been asking for too much leave, right?” Takibi retorted, “Even I, who doesn't go to school, think you've been taking too much leave lately.”

“It's all because of Lin Munou—” Charyou said, “I'm trying to grasp Senior Munou's whereabouts, so of course, I have to find a way to follow and observe him.”

“But…” Agito Raiha poked her head out from the sofa, “Didn't Charyou say that the 'Clone Army' incident was over, and Hero-sama wouldn't be running around anymore, so you could approach him more naturally and normally?”

“Who knows? Maybe there's a new incident,” Charyou shrugged, “After all, he's 'Hero-sama,' isn't it normal for him to encounter all sorts of incidents?”

“Never mind, it happened suddenly today,” Charyou clenched her fist, “Next time, as long as I prepare in advance, there won't be any problems.”

“Oh, that sounds interesting,” Takibi said, “Charyou, your school life.”

“Indeed,” Charyou nodded, “Although my life isn't a normal student life, going to school is indeed a good experience.”

Putting down her school bag, Charyou sat in her favorite spot and looked at her two companions.

“How about it, why don't you come to school too?” Charyou persuaded once again, “You are students after all, you should go to school; otherwise, without student status, it won't be easy to get the monthly scholarship.”

They had discussed the issue of going to school several times before, and both Shirakinu Takibi and Agito Raiha were somewhat tempted.

However, due to some concerns, they had been unable to make a decision.

After all, the three of them had grown up in orphanages and laboratories since they were young, and had never attended school properly.

They were not very comfortable with the school and the teachers there.

One must know that in the “Exploring Frontier” research institute, the researchers in white coats were also called “teachers.”

And what did those so-called “teachers” do?

In order to develop her abilities, Agito Raiha once suffered from mental abnormalities, and it was only recently that she had recovered somewhat; Shirakinu Takibi's original ability was directly removed, and thanks to that skillful doctor, she finally managed to restore her esper ability to level 2 last month.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the two of them had concerns.

In the end, Shirakinu Takibi was the first to make a decision.

The somewhat boisterous and unruly girl scratched her head and said, “What Charyou said is true, we really don't understand many things, and it's necessary to find a school to study properly… Honestly, staying at home all day makes me feel like I'm wasting time.”

Moreover, they couldn't continue to trouble Suzuran-nee anymore.

In the orphanage, Shirakinu Takibi was the leader among them, and beneath her rough exterior, her mind was actually more mature than the others, and even Charyou would listen to her in daily life.

However, after participating in the experiment, her ability level regressed, which greatly affected Shirakinu Takibi, and she became depressed. Then, the role of “boss” fell to Haruaki Urami, who had always competed with her.

And now, Haruaki Urami is hiding in a juvenile detention center for refuge, and Shirakinu Takibi's ability has recovered, regaining her confidence, so her thinking is also more comprehensive and mature.

At least, Agito Raiha unconditionally obeyed Shirakinu Takibi's decision.

Hearing that they were going to school, Agito Raiha raised her hand and asked, “I want to go to school too, but what about Haruaki? It's a pity we can't go to school together…”

Shirakinu Takibi pinched her chin and thought, “Suzuran-nee said that the juvenile detention center is also an educational institution, and they should have classes there, right?”

Sounds not bad...

But then, Aoboshi Suzuran pushed the door open and entered, and she said in a serious tone, “No, Haruaki Urami can't continue to stay in there! We must find a way to rescue her as soon as possible!”

Seeing Aoboshi Suzuran's anxious expression, the three girls all looked surprised.

——Aoboshi Suzuran has a very good temper and personality, and it is rare to see her so excited.

“What's wrong?” Charyou asked quickly, “Is Haruaki in danger?”

“Not yet.” Aoboshi Suzuran shook her head, “But it's hard to say in the future!”

The young woman who was acting as the “parent” of the girls said, “We have verified that those urban legends are actually true!”

“Urban legends?” The girls looked at each other in confusion.

It seemed that only Agito Raiha liked to inquire about such information.

“Wahahaha, I know!” Agito Raiha raised her hand to speak, “It's about the urban legends about the juvenile detention center!”

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ is ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

“Yes, the urban legends about the juvenile detention center.” Aoboshi Suzuran took a deep breath to calm herself down, “What I said just now was not accurate, those urban legends are not all true, but the accuracy rate is also about 70 to 80 percent.”

But to be honest, this did not have a comforting effect at all.

Almost all the dark histories about the juvenile detention center had been verified!

Including but not limited to secret corporal punishment, collusion with illegal experimental institutions, providing human experimental “materials,” and “lending” detainees to carry out secret missions…

As a staff member of the juvenile detention center, Aoboshi Suzuran had actually heard about these “rumors” for a long time.

However, she had been working there for so long and had never personally witnessed the illegal acts mentioned in the above rumors, so she regarded these rumors as urban legends and did not take them to heart.

Many staff members held the same view and position as her—or rather, they were the vast majority of the juvenile detention center.

Of course, there were occasional feelings of disharmony.

For example, most of the staff at the juvenile detention center were newcomers who had joined the company within the last three years.

As for the older employees with longer tenure, they were either middle and high-level leaders or senior staff responsible for managing the “heavy offender” area, and they rarely had the opportunity to meet them.

In the eyes of these “newcomers” like Aoboshi Suzuran, there seemed to be another area in this juvenile detention center that they could not usually access.

Therefore, despite superficially ignoring those urban legends, everyone subconsciously retained a hint of doubt in their hearts.

Until the “Lin Munou broke into the juvenile detention center incident” happened two days ago.
