'Dinglingling...'

'Ding ring ring ring...'
??????????
"..."
(ー`??ー)
At night, on a bench in this brightly lit street park, a little girl was frowning as her phone vibrated and beeped. She just stared at the display on the phone interface. She looked at the caller information and looked at the screen of 'Shirai Kuroko is calling you...' and did not move. She did not answer the call or hang up on her own initiative, even though many pedestrians and students passing by gave her strange looks. Even if those people looked at her strangely, she didn't seem to mind at all.
Because, she knows that only by asking the other party to hang up directly or automatically hang up after the call time reaches the upper limit, can the person who calls her feel that she is not deliberately not answering, but is doing something else. As a result, she didn't hear the ringtone, or maybe she thought she didn't have her mobile phone with her to avoid listening to certain people's calls?
'Beep~! '
Sure enough, after a while, when little Annie, who was frowning and half-squinting her eyes, was getting a little impatient, the incoming call display on the mobile phone finally hung up on its own, and the call interface on her own mobile phone changed to Returned to the standby screen, and an eye-catching reminder of missed calls appeared above it.
"Aha!!"
??(????????????)????
"Tibbers, look? I just told you that as long as you don't answer the phone and pretend that you don't have the phone on you or that you haven't heard it, that black sister will call herself two or three times at most. Give up!"
????(*????`*)????
"She has given up now and can finally enjoy our dessert happily!!"
??*????(ˊ??ˋ*)????*??
After seeing that the mobile phone in her hand finally stopped, little Annie cheered, threw the annoying mobile phone directly to the chair next to her, and then hugged the large cup she just bought and exuded Sweet and creamy popcorn, ready to enjoy your own snack time.
Click!
"Uh-huh..."
(???????????????)
Click~!
"Ha~!!"
ε=(??????*)))??It’s delicious…
Today was a school holiday, and she spent the whole day playing with the girls in the morning and afternoon. Finally, she finally found an excuse to 'escape' by herself, and was able to wander outside until now. She didn't want to do that. I should have gone back to that dormitory a long time ago!
Besides, it's still early, and it's far from the time when the dormitory door will be closed and entry and exit will be strictly prohibited. Therefore, Anne is not in a hurry at the moment. She has plenty of time to slowly enjoy the big cup in her arms. It’s not too late to go back after eating the sweet and buttery popcorn?
(Little Master, don’t you think about it, what if your classmate Shirai Kuroko really needs to call you for something important and important? Can’t you answer the phone first? Anyway, answer the phone Phone calls don't waste much time...
(●￣(??)￣●)
——Even Tibbers couldn't stand the bad behavior of his bad little master who refused to answer calls from others three times... After all, Kuroko Shirai called her three times in a row so persistently. Phone, then there must be something slightly more important! But it's a pity that even if Tibbers had just vaguely 'reminded' the other party, how could a guy who only cares about his own fun and waiting to enjoy snacks listen to his advice? )
"I do not want it!!"
o(??^｀)oHmph!
After ruthlessly rejecting a certain bear's suggestion, Annie continued to chew her delicious snacks.
The school was on holiday for various reasons today, and the dormitory aunt's labor punishment was solved once and for all by her ingenious means. In addition, it was still early, so little Annie didn't think it would be anything important. If the matter requires you to call me before you go back, you have to trouble yourself!
In her opinion, it must be the two guys who had their scholarships forfeited who pretended to have 'accidentally' forgotten and asked her to bring some late-night snacks or snacks back to each other. Such a troublesome thing, she I won’t be fooled again!
After all, although she herself doesn't care about the little things like the other party never giving her money to buy things, she, Queen Anne, is not a courier or a takeaway boy, so she doesn't have time to give money to the people in the dormitory every day. Those three guys brought food and supplies! !
Not to mention that those hateful guys never give money, even if they give money!
Because, she won't neglect doing things that are super meaningful to her like eating, drinking, and having fun. Then other guys should stop trying to boss her around, even if they have a good relationship. That's a matter of principle. , there is no room for compromise.
"Uh-huh……"
(??????)
"Unless they continue to call, proving that there is indeed something else very important, otherwise, I will not pay attention to those bad guys at this point!!"
??(????????)??
However, Anne herself also knew that the black girl had called three times just now. According to the usual situation, the impatient guy would definitely not call again. If he called again, maybe Is there really something important? !
??????
'Ding ring ring ring...'
"!!"
!? (??''????)??
However, just as the whispers between Little Annie and her little bear stopped, she was soon shocked to discover: The cell phone that she originally thought would never ring again tonight vibrated and rang next to her again?
"so annoying……"
(lll￢ω￢)
Little Annie, who never expected that she was wrong, had to stop what she was doing, and her little mouth that had been chewing delicious popcorn couldn't help but pout.
(…)
(●￣(??)￣●)
"Damn it, if there's nothing important..."
(ー`??ー)
After she stopped eating popcorn in her hand, which made her feel happy, she found that her phone still had no intention of stopping. Little Annie had to angrily put the big bucket of sweet snacks on her body. On the other side, he impatiently picked up the broken mobile phone with a primitive and unpleasant ringtone, and brought the glowing screen in front of him.
In this situation, she might have to accept it even if she doesn't want to...
"Hi?"
Hello! ~ o(*￣▽￣*)ブ
"Is this Miss Heizi? Do you have anything important to do? If not, I have to hang up, because they are going back soon, they are on their way back, and the battery of the mobile phone does not seem to be too much. …”
??(?????????)
Opening his eyes and talking nonsense, he glanced at the 90% battery indicator on the screen of his mobile phone. He saw that it was enough to last for more than half a month. Even with regular use, it could last for several days before needing to be charged. After the phone's battery was discharged, little Annie pouted a little boredly, pressed the speaker, and then dropped it on the knees of her short legs.
"Uh-huh..."
o(*??????*)o
"The signal here seems to be a little bad... Sister Kuroko, maybe we can talk about it after we go back. Do I really want to hang up?!"
(??????▽??????)
Picking up her own popcorn again, little Annie said impatiently while eating without waiting for the other party to speak.
She can't actually be lying, because compared to the communicator she used in the Bear Shield Bureau and the communication equipment she used in the Koprulu Sector, the battery of this backward mobile phone is indeed insufficient. It was too much, and besides, she had a reason for saying that.
Because, if it is a matter of bringing something with you, then it is absolutely impossible! Of course, other things don't work either. She won't let those guys keep bossing her around! She must resolutely resist and resolutely correct the bad habits of those guys! !
For example, next time you deliberately go out without your mobile phone, just leave it in the dormitory?
'please wait a while! ! '
'Annie! Well, we want to know, that Index guy, is she with you now? ! '
Unfortunately, before Anne could reach out and hang up the phone, the voice of a certain Miss Kuroko Shirai, who finally got through after calling several times, came out from the speaker of the phone in a hurry.
"Eh?!"
(????_??`)?
"It seems they are not together... What's wrong? I remember she was hanging out with the four of you guys today?!"
o(*°▽°*)o?
I was startled subconsciously, and turned my head to look at the places around me and around me that seemed to be hiding people, and found that there was no such scary thing as someone like a starving ghost reincarnated suddenly running over to snatch food from me. After it happened, little Annie took a breath of relief and said with certainty.
If Miss Index was by her side, she would have pounced on her and destroyed the popcorn in her hand in a very short time. How could she have the chance to feel comfortable like this? Sitting comfortably on the bench, dangling your two little feet and slowly enjoying it one by one?
'ah? ! '
'Are you sure she's not with you? It's over, this is terrible...'
'Sister, Anne said that Index was not with her! ! '
'What? '
'Then where would she go? '
'How would I know? ! '
'...'
Suddenly, a certain Kuroko girl stopped paying attention to little Annie, and began to talk anxiously with Mikoto-senpai on the other end of the phone. That nervous atmosphere even affected little Annie. arrive.
"!!"
'(°ー°〃)
"Hello? What's wrong, Sister Kuroko? What's going on? Did something terrible happen to Miss Index?!"
(????ω??`)? ?
Listening to the other party's voice and urgent tone coming from the speaker of the mobile phone, it seemed that something was really wrong. Little Annie frowned and thought about it, her heart skipped a beat, and she finally suppressed the impatience she felt at the beginning. , and then asked in confusion.
Because she heard that something happened to Index again? Could it be that the other party broke out the small universe again and razed the school dormitory to the ground? But logically speaking, that kind of thing should be impossible to happen again, because Anne is very sure that she has destroyed the opponent's certain restrictions that can harm life and memory and explode the small universe with a single shot. Yes, and it’s painless! Therefore, she expressed that she was really curious about the reaction of a certain black girl on the other end of the phone.
'Annie! '
'The five of us walked around for a while in the afternoon before going back to change clothes... Then, Index said there was nothing to eat with us, so she ran to find you...'
"oh……"
(lll￢ω￢)
I knew it would be like this. Obviously, that hateful guy who claims to have memorized 43,000 magic books and is so proud that he seems to have regarded Queen Anne as a free meal ticket.
'Then……'
'We just went to your dormitory, and we haven't seen her come back until now. There is no one in your dormitory, and she didn't come back for dinner...'
'...'
'I called you several times and you didn't answer, so we thought she was with you! ! '
'Now, maybe she was really captured by the red-haired 'lecher' magician, and maybe she is suffering some inhumane torture! ! '
'Hello? Hello? ! '
'Annie, are you still listening? Hello? ! '
After finally explaining the matter clearly, Miss Kuroko's irritable voice from the speaker of the mobile phone started shouting loudly again. That kind of voice made many passers-by think again that it was too late for someone. The 'eldest' girl from Tokiwadai Middle School who returned to school once again cast that curious look.
'Hello? ! '
'Annie? Are you listening? ! '
Obviously, a certain Taotie who had three meals a day on time suddenly disappeared, which made Shirai Kuroko very nervous and couldn't help but worry about whether something unfortunate had happened to him.
"I'm listening..."
(lll￢ω￢)
In fact, just after the Kuroko lady said that a certain greedy guy was missing, little Annie immediately used her spiritual consciousness to quickly scan the Academy City and accurately figured out the location of that greedy guy. Tix's whereabouts!
However, she didn't explain it to Miss Kuroko...
Because, Miss Index was indeed kidnapped, but it was not the red-haired magician, but someone else! However, she is just a LV5 flame control superpower now. She doesn't want anyone to know that she has powers other than LV5 flame control ability, so she doesn't tell the other party so much.
However, it would be impossible for Miss Index not to 'find' her back as soon as possible. She was urgently thinking of a way to get the best of both worlds. A good way to perfectly round off the behavior?
'hateful! You guy, please be a little more serious about this kind of thing! '
'ah! Sister, please don't grab it...'
'...'
'Hello? Annie? '
"Yes! Mikoto-senpai, I'm listening. What do you want to do?"
(,,??????,,)
After hearing the frolic on the other end of the phone for a while, and then Miss Kuroko Shirai's voice changing to someone else's, little Annie didn't need to think too much to know who was snatching the phone away and talking to her.
'! ! '
'As long as you're listening, what I want to ask is: Do you know where Index goes where she usually goes or is likely to go? '
'If you know it, go find it quickly! It's getting late now, you have to hurry! Also, please don’t answer our calls! ! '
'correct! '
'The dormitory master will come to check the dormitory soon. Heizi and I will go to your dormitory to help you make some disguises. If you really can't find it, remember to call us. I will talk to Heizi. Let's use our space movement ability to sneak out and help you! ! '
'Hello! sister……'
'Don't grab it! '
'Hello? Annie, did you understand what I just said? ! '
A certain gluttonous guy suddenly disappeared and didn't come back to eat. That kind of thing must be very abnormal for Shirai Kuroko and Misaka Mikoto! What's more, there was just a big battle yesterday, and they both knew that someone wanted to harm the other party?
Therefore, after seeing off Uiharu Shili and Saten Ruiko, they kept calling and took a long time to get through to Annie's cell phone, and finally confirmed that something might be very bad for them. things.
"Uh-huh……"
????(?????????????)???????
"Okay, I understand, I'm going now! Uh-huh... I'll hang up first then?!"
Beep~! ??(°ー°〃)
How verbose! !
As soon as she reached out, without giving the other person a chance to continue nagging, she directly pressed the red button on the phone screen that ended the fairy tale. Little Annie stuffed the annoying phone into her pocket, and then started again He picked up his large cup of paper tube popcorn, which was like a small bucket, and began to eat them one by one with relish.
(…)
(●￣(??)￣●)
(Great little master, you just scanned it with your spiritual consciousness. Wasn’t that Index captured by the bad guys? Why, you are not worried at all now, and you are still in the mood to eat here. thing?!
(???????????)
——For a certain miserable little master is still in the mood to stay here, eating popcorn one by one in a hurry, and swinging his legs proudly, as if he has no idea of rushing to save people. Tibbers expressed his confusion about this kind of behavior. )
"Shut up! Tibbers!!"
(??╭╮??)
"I'm not eating right now!"
(￣～￣)Chew!
"I'm turning my grief and anger into appetite, and trying to replenish my brain with nutrients, so that I can think of good ideas!!"
ε=(??????*)))??It’s delicious…
"Furthermore, think about it, Kuroko-san and Mikoto-senpai just called to tell them that Index-san was missing, and then they directly knocked on the door, and they found and rescued them right away. I rescued that greedy guy from the clutches of the Great Demon King... wouldn't it be weird if someone accidentally found out about that kind of thing?!"
s(??｀ヘ????;)ゞ
"so!"
"I am now thinking of a better way. Not only must I be able to rescue Miss Index in time, but I must also try not to attract other people's attention and prevent others from thinking too much..."
(????????-)??
Yes, if little Annie knocked on the door now, it would be a bit too abrupt... That would indeed easily make some people who have been secretly monitoring and paying attention to her every move suspicious, Therefore, she had to think of a good way not to make people feel so strange, and she had to make her behavior logical.
(Really, it’s so troublesome... Then when will you come up with a good solution? You just heard it, it’s getting late now, if you keep waiting, you’ll be punished tomorrow.
??????~??????
——If it were Tibbers himself, whoever dared to touch his own people would have been knocked directly to the door a long time ago! Then, just twist off the opponent's head and eat it in one bite. How could he be as careless as he is now?
Sure enough, it is really difficult to be a human being, but it is easier to be a bear... In short, Tibbers doesn't have to think too much about anything when he does something. If the little master is not in charge of it, he can do whatever he wants. You can do whatever you want, bite whoever you want, eat whoever you want! ! )
"I didn't think about it..."
(ー`??ー)
"Anyway, I haven't finished eating the popcorn yet, so just let me think about it slowly..."
(,,????????????,,)
Little Annie said that she is now thinking hard and using her spiritual consciousness to scan the city, and is constructing a reasonable plan in her mind...
In short, thinking about that kind of thing consumes a lot of sugar and energy. However, she feels that when her popcorn is eaten, she will definitely be able to think of a better and logically reasonable solution!
so,
Now she just needs to work hard to finish this big bucket of sweet and delicious popcorn! After she's had her fill and drink, she's ready to pat her tummy and go!
As for Index...
That's not important, because the bad guy who captured Index hasn't made any dangerous moves until now, and he doesn't seem to have done any weird things to a greedy guy. Therefore, she is not anxious at all~!
(…)
(lll￢??￢)
——————————
"..."
"call!!"
Looking at the four connected high-rise buildings in the distance under the night sky, Steele Magnus, with a cigarette in his mouth, couldn't help but sigh softly.
Today, he had to meet with a guy he hadn't seen for more than three years, and he didn't know what the outcome would be... However, he had to go, because he had a commission, and he valued it most and swore to it. The person you want to protect is inside! Although he also knew that the guy inside probably wouldn't do such dangerous things, he still felt a little uneasy after all!
Besides...
"Tsk!!"
"It's getting late now. Didn't that Kanzaki guy say that he was going to bring the person who the client said could deal with magic? Why is it now and he hasn't come yet?!"
Looking at the sky and the trajectory of the moon in the sky, Steele, knowing that it was already getting late, muttered impatiently, and directly put the cigarette in his mouth that was almost burning to the filter. Vomited on the ground.
"Hello!"
(??_??)
"A bad guy with red hair and earrings, spitting out cigarette butts everywhere, and smoking in public places is wrong!!"
(???????????????)
Suddenly, at this moment, the extremely familiar and cute voice of a little girl sounded behind Steele, which really shocked him! !
"?!"
"You! Is it you?!"
He found that the person he was waiting for didn't come, and what he was waiting for was a certain powerful LV5 flame control superpower that he never wanted to see again. When he saw the little guy wearing the Tokiwadai Middle School uniform, he was After he spun out from under the streetlight behind him and winked at him mischievously, Steele took several steps back in shock.
Yesterday, even though he and Kanzaki shamefully ran away at the critical moment, he could see clearly that Index, who had erupted with terrifying magical power for no apparent reason, was something that even the three of them could not defeat together. The guy was finally defeated by the little girl in front of him and transformed back!
Therefore, if he could, he really didn't want to be bothered by the other party again at this critical time tonight when he still had important tasks.
"ha!"
|??˙??˙)! !
"Are you afraid of me?"
(????ω????)
She had just turned out from behind the street light and found that the guy had vague thoughts of running away. Little Annie couldn't help but feel a little proud.
"..."
Steele didn't speak. Only after hearing the little girl's words and the mocking look in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and stood still calmly. He did not continue to retreat and temporarily turned off his escape. idea.
"Hello!!"
(??????▽??????)
"Uncle Wei, my Index was kidnapped by bad guys. I felt she was nearby, and you were here like a thief... So, tell me, did you kidnap her? !”
s (????ˇεˇ????)ゞ
Anne knew that the other party was not the one who captured Index. However, since the other party was here now and since the other party looked nervous, she did not say that the other party must know something, and she definitely needed to tease her first. Look at the other person, and then, even if you just pretend to ask the other person about the situation, it’s good!
"Well……"
"No! I didn't do it. I didn't capture Index..."
Frowning, Steele thought for a while, and finally looked at the little girl with dangerous LV5 flame control powers with his innocent and calm eyes, and used his body language to express his innocence.
"no?"
(ー`??ー)
"If it wasn't you who did the bad thing and you didn't capture Index, then what are you trying to do here?!"
s(??｀ヘ????;)ゞ
After discovering that the other party also knew about Index being taken away, little Annie felt that things had become more interesting, so she simply did not rush to find someone in the four conjoined high-rise buildings, but planned to go there first. Take a closer look at the guy in front of you who doesn't look like a good person.
"Ah……"
"Index should be in the 'Misawa School' over there right now... But, little girl, I don't understand, how did you find me here and then feel that Index is nearby?! "
Yes, this is what Steele is most curious about now!
You know, if he hadn't happened to take on a mission and needed to come to Misawa School to investigate, and if he and Kanzaki hadn't been keeping an eye on Index, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been easy for them to find it. ! Therefore, he is now very curious about the little girl in front of him, about this little girl with special powers who obviously does not know magic or magic tracking, but can still successfully find this place.
"It's very simple!"
(??????▽??????)
"Because, anyone who has fought with me or been burned by me with flames, I can easily find them based on the flames and aura that remain on your body!"
<(￣︶￣)↗Yeah!
Yes, even without using her own consciousness to scan, little Annie could only rely on her LV5 flame control ability to find the badass magician and the gluttonous Index in front of her!
(…)
(●￣(??)￣●)
"snort!"
"So that's it..."
Nodding, Steele understood this statement...
After all, as far as he knew, those LV4 or LV5 ability users could be said to have almost the same power as magic. Therefore, as for the way the little girl playing with fire in front of him would find people based on the residual breath of flames, he I don't think it's too difficult to accept, because it seems to be the same way he used the magical aura of the 'Mobile Church' on Index to track?
"Hello!"
(??╭╮??)
"You haven't said it yet. What bad thing are you trying to do here? Are you with the bad guy who captured Index? Hurry up and tell the truth, or I will set you on fire!!"
??(??????~????)╭??
"..."
"I have completed a commission and need to come here to investigate the situation of the 'Misawa School'..."
After thinking for a while, Steele recalled what he saw and heard in that windowless building full of pipes and circuits, and finally briefly stated the reason why he was here.
If it weren't for the need to wait here for Kanzaki to arrive with someone who is said to be helpful to their actions tonight, I'm afraid he would have used the rune magic of 'Mirage' to run away, and how could he be like the one in front of him? The little girl who played with fire said so much?
"..."
(lll￢ω￢)
"But I think it was probably you who did it!!"
??(????????????)??
Even though she knew that the other party seemed to have nothing to do with Index's arrest, little Annie still pretended to ask after discovering that the place was being watched.
After all, there are some rules of the game that you must abide by. Since others have not made things difficult for you, revealed your identity and allowed you to continue playing in this city, then Queen Anne must definitely abide by that kind of mutual respect. With a tacit understanding, she pretended that she didn't know anything, just pretended that she was a LV5 flame superpower, and continued to let some guys keep staring at her?
"Index is inside..."
"Later, when one of our helpers arrives, you can go in with us. By then, I think you will know that we have nothing to do with Index's arrest."
Steele did not explain further, but simply pointed to the four connected buildings and pointed to the Misawa School.
"Huh?!"
∑(??△｀)? !
"Does it really have nothing to do with you?!"
(ー`??ー)
"Really do not have……"
Steele sighed inwardly, feeling that the other party might act unreasonably, and felt that he should change places, although doing so would make the things he and Kanzaki agreed to become troublesome...
However, he didn't know if the little girl in front of him was really as the other party said. As long as she had fought with the other party or been burned, as long as she was contaminated with the other party's flame breath, she would be easily found by the other party. Come to your door?
"..."
??(??????~????)o
"Forget it! If you didn't do it, then you can't. I'm going in to save Index, so I don't have to go with you!!"
o(｀^??)oHmph!
After saying that, little Annie finally stopped trying to make things difficult for the bad red-haired mage in front of her. Instead, she stretched out her short legs, carried her little bear Tibbers, and walked towards the conjoined building in the distance. .
"!!"
"Wait! There is a magic barrier there, it won't work if you go in directly like this!!"
Originally, Steele didn't intend to get involved with that LV5 little girl who was playing with fire. However, thinking about the uncertainties of tonight's mission, thinking about the fact that the other party is already here, and thinking about it since We have already found another student with special powers to help, so now it seems that adding a powerful little girl is not impossible?
