I heard that a huge banquet was held throughout the capital city.

To celebrate the nation's narrow escape from such a devastating disaster, the government organized a ball open to all citizens, including nobles and celebrities.

"What a magnificent scene."

Accelerator, the number one in Academy City.

He was still wearing his usual clothes as he walked down the street.

However, the people following him were not dressed as casually as he was.

"Accelerator brother? Why don't you change into the same formal attire as everyone else?"

"Perhaps they're the 'dancing without formal attire' group?"

"No...it's just his personality, don't worry about it."

When asked by Ren and Rin, Hatsune Miku gave a very calm answer.

Everyone was dressed in formal attire and heading to the banquet venue.

Hatsune Miku is wearing a beautiful white and blue dress, Rin is wearing a yellow, white and black outfit, and Len is wearing a white and black suit.

That is why Accidental's clothing is so distinctive.

"Oh my... is that Hatsune Miku?"

"what?"

It looked like a socialite or a wealthy young lady was passing by.

She seemed to be a classmate of Hatsune Miku. When she saw Accelerator dressed so strangely next to her, she couldn't help but sneer.

"Oh my, I really didn't expect that Hatsune Miku, who is usually so elegant, would be with someone who doesn't even change his dress."

"Eh…?"

"What a surprising situation. How can someone who is still a member of the military be able to hang out with people like that? Ha, the Qingyin family is really losing face."

"Young Miss...!"

Right after the female student finished speaking, the servant beside her anxiously gave her instructions.

It was only then that she noticed.

The strangely dressed white-haired man who was being insulted by him.

His scarlet eyes seemed...

The gaze was like that of the Grim Reaper, as if he would kill them all, leaving not even a trace of their corpses, in the next second.

"…ah…"

Just one glance.

The female student couldn't take it and collapsed to the ground in shock.

"Waaaaaah, this is so scary!!!"

"..."

Everyone watched with expressions of utter disbelief as the noble lady was scared away by Accelerator.

"Yifang, what...did you do to that child?"

Do you think I'd have the time to bother with something like a pig's snout?

"Waaah... Is she... is she really alright?"

"That's none of my business."

In other words, Accelerator really just glanced at her casually, and that's enough to terrify her to this extent.

"never mind…"

Hatsune Miku shook her head, then looked at the first person next to her.

"After that, you absolutely must dance with them!"

"...Do as you please."

During the Taisho era, about a hundred years ago, all the critical issues that should have been of concern were resolved.

For Accelerator and for Hatsune Miku, all that's left is to enjoy moments of peace.

The night passed beautifully.

As for the affairs of this world, it's about time to bring them to a close.

Chapter 853 Another World Life That Doesn't Start from Zero

And so, the matter concerning this world came to an end.

Let's just say we've resolved one issue.

As Accelerator gazed at the night sky, he realized that the mystery of Hatsune Miku's past had been solved. She herself had also made peace with her past, using her own hands to officially end everything that had remained unresolved in the past.

"There is still a lot to be done."

At least, that's the case within the scope of my own thinking.

Standing at the entrance to the capital, the first person looks into the distance.

Hatsune Miku, dressed in gorgeous attire, is walking slowly towards us.

"too slow."

He stood there with one hand on his hip, urging the girl on, but he didn't actually mean to urge her on.

"Have you finished taking care of everything on your end?"

"Yes, I've already explained it to everyone."

Hatsune Miku nodded directly when she arrived in front of Accelerator.

"My explanation to them was that I would travel with you to other countries later, and we would leave this capital city temporarily."

"The timing is fine. All the worlds are interconnected. When the time comes, this world will also connect with our world. Let's tentatively set the entrance and exit in Academy City."

According to Aleister, with Accelerator as the center connecting all worlds, Academy City is defined as a station that serves as the entrance and exit point for all worlds.

In this way, Academy City, which was organized on a global scale, was formed.

At that time, even Aone Kaito and others who exist in this Taisho era world will still be able to come to their world.

However, this presents a problem.

“…That one, Yifang.”

After thinking about it for a moment, Hatsune Miku's expression became somewhat awkward.

"What would happen if Kaito from this world met Kaito from our modern time...?"

"…Well."

Even the top student in Academy City was stunned.

This is indeed... a question I've never thought about before.

While there have been theories that seeing one's doppelganger will lead to death, these two should essentially belong to different parallel worlds, so even if they encounter each other…

"Nothing should happen."

perhaps?

"Alright, that's all for now. Let's hurry up and get to the next world we need to deal with."

"I would do it without you telling me."

The first person raised their hand, and the portals connecting to different worlds opened.

The two stepped inside together, and before leaving, they took one last look at this world from the Taisho era.

The portal in mid-air then vanished.

The inhabitants of the empire were still sleeping peacefully under the night sky.

Neither the Qingyin family nor anyone else knew about this.

Two people left this world and went to other worlds.

————————————————————————————

Which world should we choose to go to next?

The outcome of Accelerator has already been decided.

A purplish-black portal opened in the other world, and then the two of them walked out of it.

"here it is…?"

"A place I've been before."

Hatsune Miku couldn't help but look around; it was a dense forest area.

It looks like an undeveloped primeval forest.

However, the place where the two were standing was clearly a path that had been cleared by someone.

"To be precise, it's the second world we've ever been to."

"what…"

After hearing his explanation, Hatsune Miku knew where she was.

"Is this the world that Rem and Ram live in?"

The first one did not respond, but Hatsune Miku could tell from his eyes that this was the result.

"That's great! I haven't seen them in so long, I really miss them!"

Hatsune Miku's face immediately lit up with a joyful smile.

For the first time in a long time, even Accelerator couldn't help but show a nostalgic expression.

He didn't recognize the name "Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World-", but he had seen it in the system back then.

This must be the name that belongs to this world.

This is the second world they have arrived in after the system identified it as a zombie apocalypse world.

Generally speaking, this is the kind of world similar to that in light novels, like a world of swords and magic.

There are orcs, who are different from humans, as well as various powerful beings. The countries are also finely divided, with royal families and nobles.

Thinking back to the time traveler I met back then—Subaru Natsuki, as well as Roswaal, Emilia, Rem, Ram, and Beatrice who lived in that mansion, I couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia.

It really has been a long time.

Back then, I was just a novice, and regardless of how strong I was, even my knowledge and experience were unimaginably vastly different from what I am now.

of course.

This also applies to mindset and personality.

"Come this way!"

When I came to my senses, Hatsune Miku in front of me had already walked quite a distance.

She waved to me from a distance, signaling me to hurry up and catch up. Judging from the expression on the girl's face, she must be very happy right now.

It's a rare treat to be back in this world.

Accelerator shook his head, putting all his thoughts aside, and followed Hatsune Miku directly onto the road ahead.

"Are you sure this is the way?"

"Yes, yes, back when we lived in the mansion, I often went out with Miss Emilia!"

"I don't remember anything like that. It seems like I didn't come out more than a few times when I was in that godforsaken place."

"No way, you've clearly misremembered!"

Clearly, a Level 6 brain would never make a memory error, but Accelerator simply waved his hand, not intending to argue with her about the matter.

Before long, the two saw the familiar road.

It seems she was right. Accelerator thought to himself, while Hatsune Miku excitedly walked towards the mansion.
