Although Kaito really wanted to refuse immediately, he saw Hatsune Miku pouting, looking like she was really about to cry.

He couldn't help but think of the times when his little sister would cry and cry, and he, as a boy, had no idea how to comfort her.

Moreover, for Haidou, even if the sky were to fall, it wouldn't be such a terrible thing.

His only fear was that his sister would get hurt or be sad.

"That's right, Kaito-nii! Accelerator saved us, how can you treat him like this!"

"I completely agree."

Lian and Ling took turns comforting Kaito.

Faced with these words from his younger siblings, even Kaito, the head of the family, couldn't help but waver.

"...Let him stay is fine."

"real?!"

"However, someone must observe him every day, and his daily movements must be kept clear. In the worst case, he cannot even enter or leave the mansion at will."

"That's fine, I'll take charge of observing him."

"No way! Let the servants keep an eye on him, how can you be the one doing this in the future!"

Hatsune Miku sighed softly, sounding somewhat resentful.

In this day and age, my older brother is really worried about me.

"Let's leave it at that for now. I'll have a proper talk with him later to get a better understanding of the situation."

"Then... can we go to the Milk Cafe to find Sister Liu Ge?"

"There's still training to do after that, you know what to do, right?"

"No way! I don't want to do that military training anymore—!!"

In conclusion, Accelerator's management of the Aon family has come to an end.

Accelerator himself doesn't care at all.

He stood outside, too lazy to listen to what the people inside were saying.

And that was the first thing he did.

That is, to observe the world accurately.

'...The energy in the northern region seems a bit off.'

With his current level of ability, it's not difficult for him to observe the energy direction and structure of almost the entire world in an instant.

As he said, there does seem to be some kind of chaotic flow of energy to the north of this city called the Imperial Capital.

That is an extremely irregular thing.

Visually, it is close to black or purple. Even without any special perception, Accelerator could tell the true nature of this power just by looking at it.

Pure evil.

However, that power seemed to be enveloped by something much larger.

It is an incredibly warm light, almost like cherry blossom color.

Its nature inevitably evokes comparisons to other things.

Just like someone...

"Hey~"

But at that moment, my thoughts were interrupted.

Accelerator snapped out of his daze and found a familiar face standing beside him.

Hatsune Miku wearing a military uniform.

"I've already talked to my older brother, and you'll be staying in our Aon family's mansion from now on."

"Really? Well, you're something else."

The girl, with her hands behind her back, couldn't help but move closer to him.

"Do you think this is really the era I lived in in my previous life?"

"You think you can figure out your own problems by asking me?"

"Ugh... honestly, there's absolutely no romance!"

Hatsune Miku looked at him with displeasure, but of course, the first person remained unmoved.

"What are your plans next?"

"I should ask you first, what are you planning to do? I didn't come to this boring place for any particular purpose, except for a vacation. I only came here because you said there was something to do."

"Um…"

Hatsune Miku thought for a moment and decided to try to find something from the deepest memories of her soul.

"Miku-nee! We should go now~!"

"Eh?"

Just then, Kagamine Len and Kagamine Rin also came out of the mansion.

They greeted Hatsune Miku.

"It's 2:30 in the afternoon now. According to Haidou, we need to go to the army for training first, and then return to the school in an hour."

"School…?"

Hatsune Miku blinked, then suddenly realized.

"Ah—right! It seems I still have to go to school in this era..."

"...What did you say?"

"Sorry, I'll think about what will happen next, but I'm in a bit of a rush right now, so I'll have to go now!"

So, in front of Accelerator, Hatsune Miku hurriedly followed Kagamine and her brother, leaving Aone's house together.

…Was that a horse-drawn carriage?

"My sister seems to care a lot about you."

At that moment, the voices of others came from behind.

"Can you guys please stop talking behind other people's backs?"

Accelerator pursed his lips, turned around, and saw Aon Kaito standing in front of him.

His expression seemed a little better than before.

However, it's only a little bit.

According to your sister, it seems that you and she are friends.

"Ah, I met her by chance, and we've maintained this relationship ever since."

Was it a coincidence...?

It seems she's considering whether what she said is true or false.

"I still have many questions about your affairs."

"However... the top priority is still your own affairs."

Then, Haidou looked towards the front yard.

"If you could, would you like to come with me?"

"Let's have a little sparring."

--------------------------

Just as he said, the two of them came to the front yard.

The backyard seems large, but it hasn't been cleaned yet, and it will only get messier if you start cleaning there.

So the two of them went ahead to the more spacious front yard.

"What do you mean by 'exchanging martial arts skills'?"

Accelerator stood on the left, while Aon Kaito stood on the right.

"According to my brother, you seem to possess the ability to even defeat a shadow puppet."

"Interpret it however you like."

"If that power truly exists... I'd like to test it out a little."

then.

Under Accelerator's watchful gaze, Kaito raised his hand.

The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped sharply.

"...Xue Qing".

Click.

Click click click click click—!!

Countless pieces of ice were frozen in the other person's hand.

When the ice shards shattered, Aone Kaito found himself holding a Japanese sword.

The scabbard was entirely blue, and the moment he drew the blade, a dark, icy hue shimmered from the blade.

It was a bright, sunny day.

It's summer, even though.

Yet, one could still feel an unparalleled chill condensing in the air.

One-way remained completely still.

"As a divine vessel, as a soldier of the empire, this is my divine artifact, Snow Cleansing, a weapon capable of defeating the power of a shadow vessel."

He pointed the sword blade diagonally at the ground while gripping the scabbard.

"If you truly possess the power to defeat even a shadow puppet, would you be so kind as to demonstrate it to me here?"

"This is merely a friendly spar, and I will deliberately limit my strength so as not to do anything that could harm your life."

Kaito slightly pointed the blade, and even just that, one could feel an unparalleled sharpness emanating from it.

Accelerator didn't say anything.

He simply kept his hands in his pockets and remained motionless.

"...Could it be that this is the state in which you are fully prepared?"

"I went too far, so you can do it yourself."

…What arrogance!

That one sentence alone was enough to convey an unimaginable level of arrogance, and Haidou couldn't help but frown slightly.

Such behavior is really disrespectful.

"...Then please forgive me."

For an instant.

Kaito raised his blade and charged at his opponent with an extreme movement.

The deathly, icy aura swept over us once more.

The number one in Academy City didn't even lift a finger.

because.

He doesn't need it at all.

The head of the Qingyin family, Qingyin Kaito.

To test whether Accelerator truly possessed the strength to defeat even a shadow puppet, as his younger brother Kagamine had claimed, he directly put Accelerator to the test.
