Seeing as how a thick cloud of dust welcomed him the moment he opened the door, Shirone frowned and was not looking forward to seeing the rest of the space.

The room was about 534 square feet. The desk had a broken leg and was filled with bread and crumpled papers.

�And he told me they renovated the warehouse��

As a matter of fact, it seemed that only the sign had been renovated.

�Hahaha! A little dirty, isn�t it? You�ll get used to it after a while. Don�t just stand there, come in, come in.�

Shirone did not understand why he had to get used to it.

��Why not just clean the place up.�

However, even those questionable things disappeared the moment he saw the board hanging in front of him.

There was a boy who was writing mathematical formulas at an insane speed.

As Shirone approached, he noticed it was a familiar figure. Shirone�s eyes widened as he made a noise of recognition.

�Eh?�

The boy was Yiruki, who was under probation for a week.

Shirone was speechless. Nade gave a sheepish smile and explained the situation.

�Sorry. Actually, our research group has a bit of notoriety. It�s a bit difficult to reveal our members.�

Now Shirone understood why Yiruki was close to Nade, but aside from that, his confusion stemmed from the fact that Yiruki was in the Supernatural Psychic Science.

Considering that Yiruki followed and praised logic, him being in an unscientific group was extremely surprising for Shirone.

�You mean Yiruki is interested in stuff like this?�

Nade shook his head.

�No, it�s actually the opposite. He�s approaching it from the opposite side. He believes that there�s nothing illogical in this world. So what better group could there be to join than this one?�

Even amidst Nade�s and Shirone�s conversation, Yiurki murmured something as if he hadn�t noticed anything.

Then after looking Nade�s way, he noticed Shirone. His face brightened.

�Shirone!�

He approached without even giving Shirone time to say hello and shook his shoulders.

�You came just in time. I just came up with something great! That great thing is� Splitting the smallest matter! You might think how splitting the smallest is possible. That�s exactly what I�m saying. If you split the smallest matter, it�s no longer a substance! So then, what the hell is it? I�ve been doing the math for three days, and to my surprise, my god! It contains tremendous energy! What if this whole thing is possible? Hm? What do you think will happen? Quickly, tell me.�

Yiruki spoke so fast Shirone couldn�t clearly understand, but seeing as how Yiruki�s eyes were burning with passion, he felt like he had to say something.

�U-Um, well? The energy will be released?�

�An enormous explosion! An unimaginable explosion! An explosion that can blow up an entire city! Can you imagine it? Huh? If it�s you, you might be able to imagine it!�

Shirone was dumbfounded.

Of course, he could imagine, but it was terrifying to even think about.

�If that happens, a lot of people will die.� JrNovels.com
