"Man...I knew this would happen...I knew it, but still..."

It was July 20th, the first day of summer vacation. Touma Kamijou was at a loss for words. His dorm room in Academy City was sweltering because his air conditioner was broken. Lightning had apparently struck in the middle of the night and blown out 80 percent of his appliances.

That included his refrigerator, the food in which was now all spoiled. When he went to open his emergency rations—a cup of yakisoba—he accidentally dumped all the noodles down the sink. Then, having no alternative but to go out to eat, he stepped on his credit card while searching for his wallet, crushing it. After that, he decided to sulk back into bed and cry himself to sleep before being woken up by a crash.

"Holy! What was that!?"

He dashed into the spare room he had which had been occupied most of the time, and found he occupant rubbing his head on the floor.

"Arghh, damn that hurt. Oi Touma, why is it so hot?"

"The A.C. and seven other basic appliances like the refrigerator were short-circuited in the lighting last night...."

A look of realization spread across the boy's face, known as Kotarou Nozomi. He stood up proudly and walked to the A.C.

"Erm, Kotarou? What are you doi-"

Touma was cut off by shock as he saw Kotarou repairing the A.C before feeling a wave of coolness flow over him.

"I wouldn't let you fix it Touma as you'd probably get electrocuted knowing your lack of luck".

The boy was laughing smugly at Touma who just shook his head.

"Yeah yeah, I know. Can you fix the fridge?"

"No, I have no clue what type of fridge that is, but I've never seen it before, sorry".

Touma then sighed and muttered 'It's fine' before he fell asleep on the bed only to be awakened by his ringing phone.

It was his homeroom teacher conveying a heartfelt message: "Good morning, Kamijou! You're dumb, so you need to come and take your makeup classes."

The horoscopes on TV were being broadcast like a weather report. He'd known they'd sound like this, but they were so far off it wasn't even funny.

"Oi Touma, I'm going, for a bit to explore the city. See you later!"

The door then clicked as Kotarou walked out the door wearing the same pair of clothes, but still clean?

'Oh well, won't question it...'

I was currently walking about the city, exploring the area when I heard some call to me.

"Oh, there you are. Hey, yo, you! Hang on a min— Hey! You, I'm talking to you! Stop already!"

As I, fried from the summer heat, gazed at the slow-moving police robot, I didn't initially register that the voice was directed at me. I was busy thinking, I wonder what Touma would be doing. I was also building up a mental map in my head of the city.
