"Working on another crime-fighting invention?" Natsumi asked Miyuki.

"Yes." Miyuki held up a pair of boots with metal coils attached to the soles. "These compression springs could propel us over walls and bushes while pursuing suspects on foot."

Natsumi giggled. "You can't be serious! That's like something out of a cartoon!"

Miyuki frowned at her roommate. "These springs could also be concealed in an office chair, or under a tatami floor," Miyuki said dangerously, "to fling 'someone' several meters into the air. And they can be triggered by remote control."

Natsumi suddenly realized that she would never be safe again.
