Chapter 204 Preparations before a Picnic
Chapter 204 Preparations before a Picnic
Just when Misaka Mikoto was in shock and didn't know what to say, she suddenly noticed Shangguan Yuzuru holding a barbecue grill, and noticed what Krul and Accelerator were holding, and asked curiously, "Are you three going to have a picnic?"
Shangguan Yuhe smiled and nodded.
"Yes, we are going to buy ingredients next."
Misaka Mikoto hurriedly bowed slightly, embarrassed.
"Oh, sorry, you guys go ahead and do your thing. Have fun!"
Krul thought about it and raised the corners of his mouth.
"Do you want to come along? It's boring just the three of us."
After just a moment's thought, Misaka Mikoto was about to refuse. After all, this was the first time she met them, and it wouldn't be a good idea to go camping right away.
But before Misaka Mikoto could speak, Shirai Kuroko responded.
"May I?"
Krul nodded and looked at the two people behind him. Shangguan Yuhe naturally would not refute Krul. Although Accelerator looked like he was in real trouble, he did not refuse.
Shirai Kuroko bowed slightly, gave a polite and bright smile, and responded softly.
"Oh, this is a really good suggestion, yes. What do you think, onee-sama? If possible, I would also be happy to go with you. After all, such an opportunity is rare, yes."
There was a hint of excitement and anticipation in her tone, but at the same time she remained polite and humble, which was consistent with her usual ladylike demeanor and completely different from her attitude towards Misaka Mikoto just now.
"Hey, Heizi!"
Misaka Mikoto was still a little embarrassed.
At this time, Krululu said: "It's okay. In fact, if there are only three of us, I doubt whether the food we make will be edible. You will be responsible for cooking and we will help you."
Seeing that Krul had invited her like this and that she was actually free today, Misaka Mikoto agreed.
At this time, Shirai Kuroko asked again: "Excuse me, can two of my friends come with us? Don't worry, we will bring food too!"
Shangguan Yuhe readily agreed. It went without saying that Shirai Kuroko's two friends must be Hatsuharu Shikiri and Saten Ruiko.
Shirai Kuroko thanked him politely and edited a message on her cell phone and sent it.
As the eldest daughter, she knew how important connections were. Of course, she had to make friends with the three superpowered people, but she would not curry favor with them.
Misaka Mikoto then interrupted and said, "In that case, let's go buy ingredients with you."
Crowley nodded.
The five of them walked towards the shop selling food ingredients.
On the way, Misaka Mikoto observed Crowley and the other two for a moment, but then she looked away, as it would be impolite to keep staring at them.
It took them nearly eleven o'clock to buy all the ingredients.
Shangguan Yuhe took a look at what everyone bought. Krululu still had an exploratory spirit towards human cuisine, so he bought a little bit of everything, which was quite balanced.
Misaka Mikoto mostly eats vegetables, cabbage, mushrooms and the like.
As a young lady, Kuroko Shirai always buys high-end seafood.
"Hey, why did you buy all the seasonings?"
Accelerator noticed the bottles and jars in Shangguan Yuhe's handbag.
Shangguan Yuhe said very proudly.
"Hehe, seasoning is the soul of barbecue! But you, the whole bag is full of meat."
Accelerator's bag was full of meat products, and he seemed to be a carnivore, so he answered as expected.
"Eating meat and dying is also a kind of happiness."
Misaka Mikoto smiled and said, "We bought everything without any discussion. We really have a tacit understanding!"
Shirai Kuroko nodded and agreed with some surprise: "Yes, they are obviously strangers."
Shangguan Yuhe shrugged.
"It seems we are indeed destined to be together."
At the same time, he was thinking, now that I know Misaka, I wonder what her reaction will be when she sees Misaka when she participates in the Absolute Ability Evolution Plan.
Shangguan Yuhe picked up the barbecue grill and placed the other bags on it, preparing to carry them to the picnic site.
Misaka Mikoto saw Shangguan Yuzuru's posture and asked in confusion: "Eh? Are you going to move it yourself? Don't you need the robot to help?"
Shangguan Yuhe didn't understand and looked at Misaka Mikoto with the same confusion.
"What robot?"
Also casting a glance was Crowley, who didn't know what a robot was.
Misaka Mikoto realized that these two had just arrived and might not have a complete understanding of Academy City's facilities. She pointed to a small window next to the mall exit and explained, "After buying something, you can ask the mall staff to send a machine to the designated location."
Shirai Kuroko held up five fingers and added, "Only 500 yen."
Shangguan Yuhe turned around and looked at Accelerator. From Accelerator's reaction, he could tell that he didn't know either. Shangguan Yuhe felt better immediately. Even the natives of Academy City didn't know. It was normal that we didn't know since we just arrived!
Accelerator snorted quietly. He could tell what Shangguan Yuhe was thinking when he looked at him just now, but he didn't explain it because he usually went to the nearest convenience store to buy bento and didn't buy daily necessities in his life, so he really didn't know about this delivery service.
The five of them left the mall together. Apart from the fact that Accelerator looked a little malnourished, the five of them were all very outstanding in appearance and temperament, which attracted many people's attention along the way.
Some passers-by even whispered about it.
"Wow, these five people are so good-looking! I want to take a picture and share it with Yuichi."
The classmates who were traveling with me couldn't help but frown.
"That's not very polite. Look at that boy in the gray and white striped shirt. He looks like someone you don't want to mess with. We'll be in trouble if we're discovered."
"You're right, but they're really good-looking, especially the pink-haired foreign student girl. She's so cute. Eh? Why do I feel like she's glaring at me? She's also so pretty! Ah Shan, what do you think?"
The boy called Ashan sighed.
"Alas, it still doesn't surprise me."
Some of the people who asked the question were surprised and some did not believe it.
"You're not surprised by such beauty?"
Ashan pretended to be mature and used a teaching tone.
"Young man, you still haven't practiced enough. When you reach my level, you will know that only breasts are the truth! Although these three girls are pretty, they can't even reach the level of a C together! If I had the looks of these two handsome guys, I would go...Huh? Why are you backing away? Is there something behind me?"
Ashan looked at his companions retreating in fear and was suddenly confused. As soon as he turned around, he was met with three murderous eyes.
If you don't run, you will die!
This was the first thought that popped into the old gentleman Ashan's mind, but his body felt like it was filled with lead. Feeling the pressure of those three gazes, his back was already soaked with cold sweat.
Ashan's companions swallowed hard and felt the same pressure.
The three girls looked at the three men as if they were trash.
"sorry!"
Unable to bear the pressure, the three of them bowed 90 degrees and then fled.
Sparks were flying all over Misaka Mikoto's body, and she obviously couldn't stand people talking about her bust size, but as a person with super powers, she could not take action just because of verbal provocation.
"Kuroko!"
At this time, a shout was heard. Several people turned around and saw two girls waving and running towards them.
The two girls were both wearing casual clothes. The girl with short hair wore a headdress with various flower shapes such as roses, hibiscus, cosmos, hibiscus, etc. The other girl with long black hair also had a headdress on her head, which was in the shape of a five-petal white plum.
The people who came were naturally Shirai Kuroko's good friends, Hatsuharu Shikiri and Saten Ruiko, who were studying at Zhachuan Junior High School.
After receiving the message from Shirai Kuroko, the two thought she was joking until she swore that her elder sister would ignore her for a week. Only then did they believe it and went out excitedly.
Of course, they couldn't come empty-handed, so each of them brought some desserts and drinks as afternoon tea snacks.
If you go camping at this time, you will naturally have lunch and dinner outside, so you have to be fully prepared!
Shirai Kuroko was just about to introduce Hatsuharu Shiri and Saten Ruiko to the four people, but they spoke first.
Hatsuharu Shikiri was a little nervous. She bowed as soon as she came up, and her chubby face was slightly flushed.
"Hello everyone, my name is Hatsuharu Shikiri. I'm a student at Kagawa Junior High School. I'm a person with low abilities. My ability is..."
Misaka Mikoto noticed that Hatsuharu Shikiri was a little nervous, and interrupted her interview-like self-introduction with a smile.
"Don't be nervous. I heard Heizi talk about you. Thank you for taking care of Heizi."
After hearing Misaka Mikoto's caring comfort, Hatsuharu Shiki felt much better and nodded.
"Ok!"
Riri Saotome was relaxed and not at all stage-frightened.
"My name is Saten Ruiko, I am a person without special abilities, and I also attend Kagawa Middle School."
Shangguan Yuhe knew that Krul and Accelerator were not very good at socializing, so he smiled and helped introduce them.
"Hello, I'm Shangguan Yuhe, and these two are Krulu and Yifang Turtle."
"Hey, asshole, you wanna fight?"
Shangguan Yuhe smiled teasingly and introduced them again.
"Just kidding, don't you have a sense of humor? He is Accelerator."
Misaka Mikoto also introduced herself with a smile.
"My name is Misaka Mikoto, you can just call me Mikoto."
Hatsuharu Shikiri and Saten Ruiko nodded. They had known Misaka Mikoto for a long time, not only because Misaka Mikoto was famous, but mainly because they had been with Kuroko for a long time and had learned a lot about him.
Among the other three people with super powers, Shangguan Yuhe seems to be easy to get along with, while the other two don't seem to be very talkative.
After the self-introductions, the seven of them headed towards the designated picnic site.
Academy City is a highly modernized metropolis, so most people choose Tama Central Park for their picnics, where the environment is good and there is not too much noise.
……
School District 7, inside the landmark windowless building.
"What? Four people with super powers got together?! Which four?"
The General Council was a little out of control when it received the information from its subordinates.
The people below quickly gave their answers.
"Except for the Unreal Matter, the first five are all here."
After hearing this, the council members couldn't help but breathe heavily, and then they started to discuss.
"Are they planning something?"
"Will there be other super-powered people joining them?"
"We still don't know the capabilities of the two newcomers. If they start a riot and we can't counter them in a short period of time, the losses will be huge! How about using a tree diagram to deduce their next move?"
Being in such a high position, they are always worried that the people below will rebel against them, so they have set up laboratories for each super-powered person to specifically study countermeasures. The Council does not know about the abilities of Shangguan Yuhe and Krul, but the laboratories below have already established the project.
At this time, a small voice sounded in the conference room.
"Could it be that they are just having a normal party?"
A council member spoke up weakly, but was quickly rejected by the other members.
"There are 1.8 million students in Academy City, but four people with super powers gathered together for a party. And they had not had much contact before. How could it be such a coincidence?"
Just as the members of the council began to guess that Accelerator and his group were preparing to destroy the world, the electronic screen in the conference room lit up, and a face hanging upside down in an unknown liquid appeared on the screen. The members of the council hurriedly greeted them.
"Chairman!"
This man's name is Aleister Crowley, he is the builder of Academy City and the chairman of the Board of Directors.
"Don't panic. According to the information sent by the hovering line, they just happened to meet by chance and were planning to have a picnic."
Aleister's voice entered the conference room, but strangely, Aleister on the screen did not make any move to speak.
When the members of the General Council heard Aleister say this, their worries finally subsided.
Aleister looked at their relieved expressions and felt helpless. These guys were indeed capable and worked with him to manage Academy City in an orderly manner. However, they were too keen on power and were now too sensitive.
Aleister continued to give orders.
"They are heading to Tama Central Park next. Just send a few more people and don't make too much noise."
"understand!"
After explaining this, the electronic screen went out.
The conference room fell into an eerie silence. Their discussion just now was so intense, and now it was so awkward after knowing the truth.
After adding some people to Tama Central Park, the members of the council began to busy themselves with their own things.
However, just because people with super powers don't cause trouble doesn't mean that others aren't planning to cause trouble.
"On June 6, three employees and a barrel of dangerous chemicals from the Second District Chemical Plant went missing. The police are currently conducting a full investigation. The three missing persons..."
Above Academy City, a huge airship was broadcasting the latest news. There was a large screen on it, which displayed photos and information of three missing persons.
Saten Ruiko noticed the news.
"June 6th, wasn't it just a few days ago? Haven't they found it yet?"
Hatsuharu thought about it and expressed his opinion.
"Maybe it's for those who are capable to participate."
As Shangguan Yuhe walked, a scarlet bird-shaped pattern flashed in his eyes. This was the characteristic of the Future Eye being activated.
After a pause, he looked at the airship in the sky, with a smile on his face. It seemed that this picnic would not be boring.
