The girl said softly as she pointed at the vending machine. After a while, Inticus came back to his senses. He looked in the direction the girl was pointing at and saw the LCD screen connected to the vending machine by an arm.
"Button? But there's no button on the vending machine, "Inticus said as he looked back at the girl with an expression as if he was about to cry.
"Uh … I mean, you can just press the screen. Don't you know that?" the girl said with a look of bewilderment. Then, she looked at Inticus and pleaded, "Ah, sob, please don't look like you're about to cry."
"You're lying! I know that there won't be any changes even if I touch the people on the TV, "Inticus said angrily as his expression changed. She had come to this conclusion after watching a food show on TV at home, but the tricolor cat Sphinx couldn't get the food on the TV out no matter how hard it tried.
"…" The girl was speechless at Inticus's knowledge. Then, she silently walked to the vending machine and pressed the [Cancel] button at the bottom of the screen.
In an instant, the vending machine's motor turned and spat out the two thousand yuan note that it had just swallowed. Inticus was dumbfounded by what he saw.
"How, how could this be?" Inticus said in disbelief.
"So, so, you just have to touch the screen with your finger," the girl said as she retreated behind Inticus.
"So, so amazing. Is this TV connected to the inside?" Inticus said as his gaze fell on the LCD screen. To a scientifically illiterate like Inticus, anything that could display images was called a "TV."
"Uh, this isn't a TV," the girl explained again as she had already sensed Inticus's unusual knowledge.
"Amazing. Amazing! Again! Do it again! " Inticus, who was completely immersed in the excitement of exploring the unknown, completely ignored the girl's explanation and asked excitedly. Then, he inserted the two thousand dollar bill that he had just spat out into the slot of the vending machine.
The girl, who didn't know what to do, could only press the [Cancel] button again at Inticus's request. Following which, the two thousand dollar bill that was swallowed was once again spat out by the engine.
Although ordinary people were used to such things, Inticus still looked at the girl with respect.
"What about this one? Next, Inticus pointed at a set of words on the screen and asked, "Search Excluding Criteria" button.
"Uh. As long as you enter a keyword here, it will list all the products that don't contain that keyword … For example, if someone is allergic to eggs, as long as you enter [egg], it will list all the products that don't contain eggs. "The girl explained softly.
"What about this? What about [Information Search]? "Inticus pointed at another button and asked.
"Literally. You can use numbers to search for nutrients such as vitamin C or iron … For example, if you search for less than 150 calories, only the diet meal will appear," the girl explained patiently.
Inticus asked. The girl explained everything until she finished explaining all the functions of the buttons.
"Thank you, what's your name?" Inticus, who finally understood how to operate the vending machine, turned to look at the girl beside him and thanked her.
"… Hmm, Windslash Ice Flower." The girl hesitated for a moment before answering.
In the end, Inticus and the girl named Windslash Ice Flower didn't order anything. They just sat at a table in the cafeteria and started chatting. The main content of their conversation was Inticus's complaints. She was so focused on talking that she completely forgot about her raging appetite. This situation continued until Sei Itō returned to the cafeteria and came to Inticus's side.
"Looks like you've made a new friend." Sei Itō turned to look at Windslash Ice Flower, who was sitting opposite Inticus. She was the core of the Virtual Mathematics School District and the carrier of the future artificial angel.
"Speaking of the Virtual Mathematics School District, it seems that the unknown space outside the Absolute Pitiful World used to hold souls is also called the Virtual Space," Sei Itō thought to himself.
"Her name is [Ice Flower]. She's a new friend of mine, "Inticus happily introduced her to Sei Itō after hearing Sei Itō's words.
"My name is [Windslash Ice Flower]. What about you?" Windslash Ice Flower's tone was weak as she spoke cautiously.
"My name is Sei Itō," Sei Itō replied with a smile on his face.
Sei Itō wasn't a pushover. He wouldn't let Windslash Ice Flower feel fear in her heart. Therefore, after getting to know each other, the three of them quickly became familiar with each other and started chatting casually.
However, the three of them didn't chat for long before they were interrupted by Yueyong Xiao Meng. Knowing that the Start-of-Term Ceremony wasn't over yet, Sei Itō had no choice but to help Inticus and Windslash Ice Flower settle down. Then, he followed Yueyong Xiao Meng back to the auditorium. They continued to attend the Start-of-Term Ceremony.
Fifteen minutes later, Sei Itō, who had finally survived the boring Start-of-Term Ceremony, quickly returned to the cafeteria. He brought Inticus and Windslash Ice Flower out of the school and strolled around the nearby business district.
However, Windslash Ice Flower's actions were similar to Inticus'. She didn't seem to have any common sense when it came to certain details. She always needed Sei Itō to remind her so that she wouldn't cause any trouble and would be able to stroll around peacefully.
At this moment, a loud "boom" suddenly sounded. A blinding flash of light spread out rapidly from the metal not far away from where Sei Itō, Inticus, and Windslash Ice Flower were. All the people around them were so frightened by the sudden large amount of light that they covered their eyes with their hands, unable to move.
However, after this moment, all the people who came back to their senses moved quickly. They screamed and yelled as they ran into the surrounding buildings. Even the university students and teachers who were driving abandoned their cars and ran into the buildings.
"It's a evacuation order!" Sei Itō, who was holding Inticus in one hand and Windslash Ice Flower in the other, also ran into the building. He looked at the flashing object with a slightly surprised expression.
The flashing light just now was the evacuation order signal mentioned in the emergency lecture in Academy City. As long as the flashing light appeared, it meant that a battle was about to break out in the vicinity. At the same time, it also reminded the ordinary people to take cover and avoid being hit by stray bullets.
Under the flashing light of the evacuation order, the originally dense crowd on the street disappeared in just a short 30 seconds. Only the staff member who fired the signal flare and the target not far away were left.
The target was a woman. She wore a black dress with white laces and bows decorating it everywhere. The style of the dress was very gothic. If it was worn by a petite and cute girl, it might be more suitable. Her long blonde hair was messy and messy, like a wig that hadn't been properly tidied up. Her skin was rough, and the color of her skin was the dark brown of a mixed-blood. She looked to be around 25 years old. However, her appearance was completely incompatible with the dress she wore. She looked as strange as a beggar who had just walked out of a refugee camp.
"Sure enough, it's her, Shirley Cromwell." Ito Sei looked at the target through the crowd in front of him and thought to himself.
Opposite Shirley Cromwell was Misaka Mikoto's exclusive mount, her junior, roommate, and also the Disciplinary Committee member who had a perverted love for Misaka Mikoto – Shirai Kuroko.
"Please don't move. I'm the person in charge of maintaining public order in the city. My name is Shirai Kuroko. I believe I don't need to repeat the reason for your arrest." Shirai Kuroko raised her hand and pulled the Disciplinary Committee's armband on her other arm. She looked at Shirley Cromwell and said loudly.
Shirley Cromwell, who only wanted to provoke a war between science and magic, completely ignored Shirai Kuroko's words. She turned her head to look at something. It wasn't until a few seconds later that her eyes fell on Shirai Kuroko.
"Stop the exploration … You really know how to give me trouble." Shirley Cromwell looked at Shirai Kuroko in a contemptuous tone.
Shirai Kuroko frowned when she heard that. Her body appeared in front of Shirley Cromwell in the next moment. When Shirley Cromwell looked surprised, Shirai Kuroko reached out and grabbed her wrist. She activated her teleportation ability to change Shirley Cromwell's position in space and pressed her to the ground. "Bang, bang, bang, bang …" With a few muffled sounds, more than a dozen slender iron nails pierced into Shirley Cromwell's cuffs, side, waist, and skirt, temporarily imprisoning her body on the ground.
Of course, if Shirley Cromwell didn't care about her appearance, she could also get rid of Shirai Kuroko's imprisonment if she got up naked.
"I said, don't move. Don't you understand Japanese?" Only then did Shirai Kuroko speak to Shirley Cromwell, who had been captured by her in a real sense.
But Shirley Cromwell, who was captured by her, didn't pay attention to her words, but a strange smile suddenly appeared on her face. Then there was a loud bang. The asphalt road behind Shirai Kuroko bulged and sent her flying. It was not until a moment later that she fell heavily to the ground. It was also at this time that Shirai Kuroko turned her head and looked behind her.
In an instant, a group of large arms made entirely of rocks protruded from the asphalt road and came into Shirai Kuroko's sight.
"What is this? Superpower? "Shirai Kuroko's heart was full of doubts.
