Academy City's Puppet Master

However, it seems to be troublesome to explain now.Kanzaki is a magician, but she also knows that in today's society, things like "magic" are no longer the mainstream, but false things associated with words like superstition and fantasy.

Especially in this science-side base camp, the mention of magic may only remind people of things in novels, comics or games.

Moreover, Kanzaki's identity and the purpose of this trip are relatively confidential, and Ling Xingye's battle may also be an undisclosed secret operation... In this way, there is no way to explain anything!

Hitomi Shiranui took out a drink from the refrigerator that had stopped operating due to a power outage, as if preparing to entertain guests.

"You should be an outsider, right?" Hitomi Shiranui's tone was soft but firm, and he handed the cup filled with milk to the other party, "What's the relationship with Xingye?"

This girl is an insider!Kanzaki immediately realized that what she asked was not about "relationship" in an ambiguous sense, but whether she and Xingye were "enemies or friends"!

But another girl who was younger... Kanzaki looked at Misaka Mikoto and confirmed that she was completely unaware.

Ordinary people?So how to explain it better?

Kanzaki considered the words.

"Don't worry too much, just explain it directly. Just leave the explanation to me." Hitomi Shiranui said, and handed another glass of milk to Misaka Mikoto.

What, just like the hostess... Misaka Mikoto complained in her heart.More importantly, she felt like she was left out on related topics!

There is a feeling of "this person does not match our style of painting, let us isolate her".

"Okay." Kanzaki sighed, and placed the Seven Heavens Seven Swords against the wall, freeing his hands to show that he was harmless, "I am indeed a magician, but Xingye and Xingye are neither enemies nor friends, so I can only say..."

She tilted her head and thought about it: "Although there have been some misunderstandings, I am still a relatively relaxed acquaintance."

"What's the matter with this vague definition!" Misaka Mikoto couldn't accept it. Listening to her explanation, she always felt that she had missed many wonderful stories.

Kanzaki said: "We have noticed Starry Night for a few days, but it was only yesterday that we really met each other, so we are not familiar with each other. We came to Academy City for our own purpose, which has nothing to do with Starry Night, but because of some Misunderstandings lead to entanglements. But the misunderstanding has been resolved, and there is no more dissatisfaction and hatred between the two sides... So, it can be regarded as a peaceful coexistence relationship."

While Kanzaki was speaking, Hitomi Shiranui kept watching her seriously.

Then he closed his eyes, nodded after thinking for a moment, and said, "I roughly understand. On July 7th, the fire in this apartment building was caused by you, right? You just kept saying 'we', so you are not a People, at least one companion. You don't seem to use fire magic, so it should be your companion."

"And last night, you and Xingye should have had a fight." Hitomi Shiranui paced around, stopped at the kitchen door and sniffled, "I noticed just now that the room smelled of blood, and you were not injured. So it can only be Starry Night..."

"Are you a detective?" Misaka Mikoto asked in surprise, "No, you mean Xingye was injured!"

"It's not me..." Kanzaki quickly explained.

"I know," Hitomi Shiranui just looked at the door, his gaze seemed to penetrate the door panel, "There should be another battle after that, and that is Xingye's real enemy—the opportunity for you to resolve the misunderstanding should also be that enemy, right?"

"That's right... Can you guess this?" Kanzaki couldn't hide his surprised expression, "Could it be that this is your super power!"

"It's just basic reasoning, plus proper deduction and imagination." Hitomi Shiranui waved his hand, "Most of Starry Night's enemies have some weird characteristics, so even Starry Night is hard to avoid getting injured."

She turned to look at Kanzaki again: "And you, the reason for appearing here is to help Xingye, or to monitor because you are worried? No, in the end, it should be both."

Kanzaki thought for a moment in silence, and found that he no longer needed to bother explaining anything.

Hell, are all students in Academy City so smart?

At this time, Shiranuo Tong suddenly lost his calmness before, with an unconcealable worry on his face: "Xingye...was he seriously injured?"

It was only then that Kanzaki noticed that the hands of this calm reasoning and analyzing girl were trembling slightly all the time, pinching the hem of the clothes behind her uneasily.

Only she didn't serve the milk herself, probably because her trembling hands couldn't hold the cup steadily, right?

Kanzaki thought for a while: "It's hard to say, it depends on how you define a serious injury. When I came back last night, Xingye was in a state of bleeding too much. It was indeed a bit dangerous, but it was just bleeding too much. Other than that There are no other more troublesome injuries."

"Isn't this serious!" Misaka Mikoto couldn't help but yelled, "And he lost so much blood that he didn't go to the hospital, but came back here?"

"Don't worry, I've already had treatment." Kanzaki said, "As you can see just now, Xingye has almost recovered—of course, she will still be weak for a while in the near future."

"It's unscientific..." Misaka Mikoto couldn't accept it.

"I used magic means."

===Chapter 39 A way to attack the electromagnetic gun===

That is to say... Misaka Mikoto concluded while listening, Xingye met the enemy last night, was injured in the battle, and then this mysterious woman with a knife healed him with magic.

Ok……

"So, what is the magic that you keep talking about? Is there really such a magical power in this world?" The clicker of Academy City No.1 finally couldn't help it.

In Misaka Mikoto's impression, magic and magicians are elements that only appear in comics and games, how could they really exist in the real world?

"But in my opinion," Kanzaki shrugged, "the superpowers of this Academy City are the most incomprehensible things..."

"Okay, okay, if you don't agree with the world, don't force yourself to accept it." Hitomi Shiranui seemed to have cheered up, "Then, let's introduce ourselves well now. How about it, Ms. Magician?"

……

After confirming that there was no hostility, the relationship between the three girls quickly eased...at least on the surface.Then start trying to chat like a new friend.

Of course, the topic of conversation can only be the only part of their intersection - Ling Xingye.

Compared to Shiranui Hitomi's natural and generous, Kanzaki Kaori's feeling is that the whole conversation is awkward.As a magician, she and the other two ordinary female students are people from two worlds. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to have an intersection in this life, so she doesn't know what to say.

And at this time, she still has tasks to do, so she really doesn't have the time and energy to have a tea party between girls here.

Fortunately, at this moment, Ling Xingye pushed open the kitchen door: "How long are you going to stay in there?"

Kanzaki's own old push-button phone also rang, and it was Stiyl's phone.

Looking at the sky, it was time for the two to change shifts.
