In a corner of Academy City's Seventh School District, inside the dormitory where high school student Kamijou Touma lives.

Although it is a boys' dormitory, there is one room that is an exception among exceptions. There lives a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl with silver hair and blue eyes, wearing a pure white monk's uniform.

At this time, the girl was occupying the seat in front of the TV. The owner of the house, Kamijou Touma, was hard at work frying chicken nuggets in the kitchen.

"Touma...why can you tell tomorrow's weather just by looking at these circles?"

"Index... you should stay away when watching TV. There are also circles like growth rings called isobars. As long as you know the ups and downs of air pressure, you can roughly judge whether there will be rainy clouds.

.Looking at how serious you are, I’ll let the calico cat taste the chicken nuggets first.”

"What! Touma, didn't you get angry every time I ate it secretly in the past, Touma?"

"That's because you eat all the food every time without leaving any for me! Wait a minute, that one is still raw!"

The girl Index, who couldn't get the fried chicken nuggets and turned to chewing the back of Kamijou's head, suddenly tilted her head and asked:

"But why does the weather forecaster often report errors? Is the lack of tendons also a selling point?"

"Being called a weak person by a person with weak tendons, the big sister of the weather forecast is really pitiful... It hurts! Index, don't bite! Because the weather forecast is not 100% correct! Even though it was 100% correct in the past,

But the calculation device seems to be broken recently...it hurts! Didn't I tell you, why are you still biting? Ah, unfortunately——"

As for how the calculation device "Tree Diagram Designer" broke, it must also be attributed to the "Dragon King's Sigh" that shot into the sky when the "Automatic Script" in Index's body went berserk. However, this incident

Except for a few insiders such as Mikoto and Black Fire, no one else knew about it. It must be that the information was blocked.

In a super luxurious villa not far away.

"Xiao, Xiao Ai, listen to me..."

"It's useless to talk more!" Then there was a "ding-dong" sound of flesh hitting the ground.

At this time, Kuroko Shirai, member of the 177th branch of the Discipline Committee, rushed back in a hurry.

Looking at Uiharu who was leisurely inside the branch, Kuroko's eyes began to turn evil: "Where's Senior Sister Gufa?"

"Eh? Senior Sister Gufa? You just went out on duty..." The naive Uiharu didn't realize how dangerous the sunspot in front of him was.

"What on earth is going on? There are so many disciplinary committee members, why does it have to be me?"

"Hmm... Thinking about it carefully, it really doesn't have to be Shirai-san."

A big cross appeared on Heizi's head: "You know clearly that I am shopping with my sister, but since you insist on calling me over, should you say something?"

"Long live!"

"Is it the opposite? Why are you cheering with your hands in the air!" Angrily Kuroko used space to move to both sides of Uiharu in an instant, and pushed her temples with his fists (why did he feel like Crayon Shin-chan was intruding)?

Since Chuchun was in front of the computer screen, the torturer Heizi naturally saw the computer screen. It seemed to be a map of the GPS satellite positioning system. There were several big red x marks on it. It seemed that something had happened.

kind of event. Several other places on the map have also been marked, and it seems that information similar to photos can be seen in other windows.

"Huh? This didn't happen in school, right?" Heizi just took a few glances and saw something was wrong.

The relieved Uiharu instantly resurrected on the spot with full health: "I have followed the procedure and notified the guard. But the situation is really not quite right. The guard may immediately ask us to provide detailed information. I think Shirai-san should know better than me.

How should you answer?"

The reason why I say this is because Shirai Kuroko often violated his authority and went outside the school to hunt down criminals, and wrote letters of repentance no less than ten times, but it seemed to have no effect.

"Uiharu, do you still want to taste what you just felt?" Kuroko gestured with his fists twice in a demonstration. Just this small movement made Uiharu shiver all over.

Having achieved his goal, Kuroko no longer scares Uiharu, but turns to look at the computer screen. The map of the seventh school district is displayed on it. A corner of the main road in front of the station is marked with an x ​​mark, and the nearby roads have some colors.

The bright arrows seem to be predicting the escape direction of the criminals.

"We shouldn't be able to handle this kind of incident, right?"

"But there are some doubts about this robbery. According to the testimony of eyewitnesses, the thing that was stolen was a suitcase with a delivery note attached to it."

After saying that, Uiharu pressed a few buttons and a new window appeared. The destination on it read: Calculation Support Facility Affiliated to Tokiwadai Junior High School.

"Calculation Support Facility Affiliated to Tokiwadai Middle School? I've never heard of this unit."

"Not only that, I also checked the number of the delivery order, and there seems to be something wrong. Although it is true that there is a delivery item with this number, the content is a large-scale cooling device for heat dissipation of the main computer of the parallel computing instrument. No matter how you think about it

, it’s impossible for that thing to fit into a suitcase, right?”

"Impossible," Heizi replied clearly, "No machines will ever be brought into the 'School Garden' from the outside."

"In addition, there is another suspicious point in this case, that is, the person involved disappeared after that. It seemed that he wanted to rely on his own strength to hunt down the prisoner. This is the video data from that time."

As he said that, Uiharu clicked a few buttons, and a new window appeared on the screen. "Wait... this is it," Uiharu pointed at a place and said, "Is this a gun?"

"So it turns out that the person involved didn't report the crime. Instead, he made a phone call to an unknown person and then chased ten gangsters by himself. The stolen items were unknown, and there might have been a shootout... It seemed like

Another troublesome case." Heizi said with a headache.

"Shirai-san, should the focus of our investigation be on the side of the gangster or the side of the victim?"

"Normally, both parties should chase together, but this is likely to disperse the force, so let's focus on the gangster side first. Anyway, as long as the suitcase is recaptured, the victim will automatically contact us, right? Having said that,

It has already taken me thirty minutes to get here, so that group of people should have disappeared long ago, right?"

"That's not necessarily true," Uiharu said lightly. "It seems that in order to avoid surveillance, they did not escape in a car, but fled into a nearby underground street. Moreover, the nearby traffic lights were out of order for some reason, so they must have escaped through the underground street.

It will be much faster than taking a car.”

"Oh, it looks like I have to make a trip."

"Eh? Shirai-san, are you leaving? Don't I have to face the guard's questioning alone? That would be too troublesome..."

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon. Speaking of which, why does the last sentence feel so familiar to me?"
