I genuinely wanted to include a real Accelerator in this book as much as possible.

This is not just for everyone to see; it's also for me to see. I am not only the author of this book, but I will also be a reader of it.

I really, really want to finish writing this book, I want to finish writing Accelerator.

So, I'm really grateful to all the readers who have supported me until now.

It will be available tomorrow, so there's no point in saying anything more.

It's definitely going to be a hit. Moreover, this book has only been written for twenty-eight days. In just half a month, it has already reached 300,000 words. Perhaps a casual reader might think that the author has only achieved so much with 300,000 words, but in reality, this is only the result of twenty-eight days. This is enough to prove that the author will never abandon the book no matter what.

If there were to be a TJ (a term used to describe a situation where someone is seriously injured or killed), I think it would probably only happen if something really bad happened to me.

After saying all that, I think the last sentence is indeed the author's professional line.

—After the book is released, I hope you will all be generous with your votes! Please recommend it! Please tip it! Even a knife is appreciated!

Most importantly, please subscribe! I hope you can support the author, because your support is my motivation to keep writing this book!

Thank you all so much.

From now on——

Ahead lies a one-way street.

Chapter 81 Sloth Returns

The punitive expedition is over.

The beluga whale has been completely wiped out, leaving no so-called clones behind. All of them, including the remaining two clones and the main body of the third whale, have been killed.

Accelerator's objective has been achieved.

The unease he felt about the beluga whale had completely disappeared, so the mission should now be considered to have come to a complete end.

…No.

Actually, I still have some feelings.

"Witch Cultist."

The final system notification still revolves around the term "witch cultist."

It means it's not over yet.

However, he had more or less guessed this.

Therefore, his decision was quite simple.

That would be the most suitable course of action for him.

——————————————————————————————————————

As mentioned before, it is still nighttime.

After the white whale was killed, all the fatigue from the battle would turn into exhaustion and erode everyone's spirits.

Therefore, Crusch decided to set up camp here temporarily, rest for one night, and then deal with the beluga whale's carcass.

Just leave it there; the corpse won't grow legs and run away on its own.

How are the wounded doing?

"Reporting to Lord Crusch, apart from the dozen or so who were swallowed by the white whale's mist, all the other soldiers are unharmed."

Although the beluga whale itself has been killed, the people killed or injured by it will not be resurrected, not to mention that those people were humans who were wiped out by that conceptual-level fog.

Although they couldn't remember exactly who these people were, they at least remembered how many people had died in total.

Just remember that, and that's enough.

"Thank you for your hard work, go and get some rest."

"Understood!"

After watching the soldiers leave her tent, Crusch, having removed her armor, sat down directly on the carpet that had been laid out.

It's finally over.

Despite the casualties, it was already a miracle that they were able to kill the white whale, one of the three great magical beasts.

Even Crusch couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at this moment.

In this way, the main objective can be considered achieved.

The beluga whale itself is an incredibly powerful being. Just imagine, without the help of these people today, what could he have accomplished with only the people he brought?

Without Hatsune Miku to help them overcome mental pollution, their efficiency would be even lower.

Without Puck's support by Emilia's side, their strength would be even lower.

If Accelerator hadn't come, they absolutely wouldn't have been able to defeat the White Whale so easily.

All of this is not solely their doing.

"Is it Accelerator...?"

Although Emilia and Hatsune Miku also made significant contributions to their battles, if we were to say who made the greatest contribution...

As expected, it still has to be the number one.

Thinking of this, a smile unconsciously appeared on Crusch's face.

"That person is truly an incredible existence."

On the other hand, since setting up camp here was a temporary measure, the number of tents seemed to be insufficient.

So the two of them had to camp in one tent.

Fortunately, they were both girls.

"Ugh... I'm so sleepy."

In a place like this, pajamas were out of the question. Emilia, still dressed in her usual clothes, walked outside the convertible.

Following behind her was the giant elf Puck, who was yawning along with her.

"That's true. Although we successfully solved the beluga whale problem, I still really don't feel comfortable fighting at night~"

"Thank you for your hard work, Parker. Now you can get some rest."

"Okay, Lia, if anything happens, be sure to call me out."

Regardless of the circumstances, Puck was there to protect Emilia, and there's no mistake about that.

As a result, its body flew directly into the gem on Emilia's chest.

Emilia breathed a sigh of relief and stepped inside the tent.

The decorations here weren't particularly luxurious. Although the two of them had come together as Crusch's honored guests, it was, after all, a temporary tent, so there couldn't be anything too extravagant.

And the girl who would be sleeping in the same tent as Emilia was naturally another lovely girl.

Gently pull back the tent curtain and you'll see a princess-like girl with turquoise twin ponytails sitting casually on the carpet inside the tent.

"Have you finished dealing with things on your end, Leah?"

"Yes, the honor issues related to the beluga whale have been resolved, and now we can finally get some rest."

Emilia walked directly to the inside of the tent and sat down next to Hatsune Miku.

The two girls sat together like that.

"This way, Wang Xuan should gain some popularity too..."

"Of course it can."

Hatsune Miku smiled and continued speaking in a gentle tone.

"If it's you, Lia, I believe everyone will believe in you sooner or later."

"Eh... I'm a half-elf, and I have silver hair at that..."

"That's not true at all! So what if you're a half-elf and have silver hair? Aren't you beautiful and pretty right now?"

Emilia blinked as she looked at Hatsune Miku in front of her.

"Miku, do you really think I look good like this?"

"To be honest, even among all the girls I've ever met, Lia, your looks are top-tier. I'm even a little jealous. The whiteness and smoothness of your skin..."

"I'm considered a half-demon... Is it really okay to see me like this?"

"I don't care about any of that. All I need to know is that you're a very cute and beautiful girl, Lia. That's enough for me!"

"but…"

"Alright, alright, shouldn't we take a break?"

With Hatsune Miku's words, the two lay down together on the prepared bed.

They covered themselves with the blanket, and the two girls turned to face each other, their eyes locked.

"...Pfft! This feels so weird!"

"That's true."

Both of them turned their heads away somewhat awkwardly, casually looking up at the ceiling.

"However, I meant it all. Lia is a really cute and beautiful girl."

"I don't think I have that much to say, but... it's really incredible."

"Eh?"

Hatsune Miku paused for a moment, then uttered a questioning sound.

Emilia couldn't help but chuckle.

"Because, it's really incredible that someone like Miku, with her personality, could meet someone like Accelerator."

"Ah...now that you put it that way, it's true."

No matter how you look at it, Hatsune Miku's personality should be gentle, while in the eyes of others, Accelerator is the representative of absolute power.

It's like a page from a horror manga featuring a gruesome Grim Reaper suddenly appearing in a shoujo manga.

It's truly an incredible sight to see two people with such different art styles working together.

Looking back on it all now, even Hatsune Miku herself finds it incredible.

Two people who should never have met are now able to act together to this extent.

This is simply like a fantasy.

However, all of this is true, and Hatsune Miku is well aware of it.

Upon realizing this, she couldn't help but unconsciously curl the corners of her mouth into a smile.

"If our meeting is incredible, then I hope that this incredible thing can continue to last."

——————————————————————————————————————

It's quiet at night.

The members of the expedition team went to prepare for rest, so no one should be out outside anymore.

No.

There are exceptions, though.

On the desolate hills, a pure white figure walked.

He stood alone on the grass, gazing at the night sky, casually sipping a can of coffee that had materialized from his inventory.

By now, we've almost finished our coffee.

Quite some time has passed since I came into this world.

For Accelerator, everything that happened here was like a dream.

But he knew very well that this was definitely not a dream.

He did indeed travel to other worlds, and he is still striving to return to his original world.

anyway.

"We must hurry up and get back to that brat's side."
