"what?"

"I just thought there was something else I needed to do here, so I came back to take care of it."

"You mean... you just did it on a whim? It's just that simple... idea?"

Yukari Yakumo seemed a little surprised, but Accelerator was too lazy to pay attention to her.

He turned around directly, not caring what Yakumo Yukari was thinking.

"...Is this a good idea?"

"What's the matter?"

"I remember a little girl who lives in this forest seemed to care about you. Aren't you going to go see her?"

"What does that have to do with you?"

Although Accelerator asked that question, he still heard a playful voice coming from Yukari Yakumo's side.

What an annoying guy.

The first one stopped considering anything else, took a step, and disappeared from the spot.

——————————————————————————————

Today is a bright and clear morning at Hakurei Shrine.

The shrine maiden also got up very early, tidied up the shrine and swept the floor.

Although probably no one will come to worship... I'll just stay at the shrine for now.

"Marisa said she went to get popsicles, but where did she go...?"

Reimu Hakurei sat alone in front of the shrine, the scorching heat making the shrine maiden feel slightly uncomfortable.

She sighed softly, then turned around and prepared to go inside for a cup of tea.

Then they saw a person standing directly inside the shrine.

"What?! You! What's wrong with you?!"

Because she was startled for a moment, Reimu didn't even consider whether the person was a guest or not, and immediately shouted as if questioning someone.

However, after taking a closer look at the other person's appearance, Reimu was even more surprised.

That should be someone else who no longer exists in Gensokyo.

It's...that guy!

"Ah! It's you!!"

Accelerator stood in the room with his hands in his pockets, while Reimu swiftly walked up behind him.

"When did you return to Gensokyo, you white-haired guy? And! Before you enter my shrine, at least say hello to me first!"

"..."

"Hey! Don't ignore me! What are you planning to do here?!"

Reimu still looked at him with displeasure, hoping to get some response, but Accelerator simply ignored her.

"How long has it been since your shrine made any offerings to the gods?"

"Well, it seems like it's been a long time... Wait, why are you asking this? And shouldn't I be the one asking you this now?"

"Judging from your appearance, you've probably forgotten even what kind of god you're worshipping... Ha, what a dutiful and good priestess."

"Watch your mouth, okay? It's really infuriating."

Reimu's dissatisfaction has begun to grow stronger.

However, just as she was about to take out the imperial coin and kick people out on the spot...

But a very strange scene unfolded before them.

"Eh?"

Reimu blinked, thinking she was hallucinating.

Because it houses the altar of a certain god within the Hakurei Shrine.

It began to slowly emit a golden light.

"This is?"

Golden light emanated directly from inside the altar and shot out of the shrine in one breath.

The earth trembled.

Just as Reimu was wondering if an earthquake had occurred, she suddenly felt a wave of dizziness wash over her.

Accelerator then walked out of the shrine.

The priestess behind him had fallen asleep, while he stared straight up at the sky.

--There.

Emerging from the lightning-streaked clouds was a colossal figure.

The mere movement of its enormous body was enough to shake the entire earth, rivers, and clouds.

It arrived above the shrine in an instant with overwhelming speed.

A dragon.

It is over 100 meters long, with blue skin and dragon scales all over its body, and even carries a dazzling golden light.

The enormous dragon exuded an unparalleled aura of oppression.

But it then made a move that was completely inconsistent with this aura.

That is.

Like a pet, it knelt upright before Accelerator.

"...Supreme and unique existence."

Only by engaging with a particular field can one gain an understanding of something.

The supreme god of Gensokyo, the creator god, the dragon god, is currently in such a realm.

The moment the being before him arrived in this world, the Dragon God understood his identity and the true meaning of his existence.

Even if you combined all your own strengths, which are as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, you could never match even a fraction of its power.

In terms of both rank and the purity of his aura, he far surpasses me.

and so.

"I wonder what brings you from such a distant realm to this small world?"

Upon hearing these respectful words, Accelerator finally looked at it.

"Completely remove the lifespan limit of the barrier in this area."

“…Waaah—”

"In exchange, I will raise the level of worship for the gods from the outside world again... Don't worry, I will send a portion of the faith that humans outside provide when worshipping the gods inside to you."

"Thank you so much... Well, may I ask..."

"You can leave now."

Before the Dragon God could say anything more, Accelerator's words immediately dispelled the other's thoughts.

Tianlong remained silent for several seconds, and finally, he could only turn into a wisp of dust and disappear once again from this land of fantasy.

Accelerator glanced at the unconscious shrine maiden in the shrine; she would probably wake up in a little while.

In this way, the world's problems can be considered solved.

In the blink of an eye, the first one arrived at a distant mountain and used his power to completely rewrite the relationship between monsters and humans, ensuring that no human village would ever again be attacked by monsters.

Yukari Yakumo did not reappear by his side, but she was probably still watching all of this from some dark corner.

In any case, everything that belongs to this world has come to a complete end.

"almost."

A massive dimensional rift shattered before him.

The first one calmly walked in, and then went... back to where he came from.

"It's time to go back to Academy City."

"After all, there's still a problem over there that I need to solve."

Chapter 860 A Secret Invitation

Everything should end here.

Academy City brought this farce to an end, and the evacuated people returned to this scientific city.

In other words, students can once again be active on various campuses.

Although many significant things happened during this period, for most students, it all seemed to be of little importance.

There are already very few talented individuals at the Level 4 level, and if the events that happened don't even involve people like them, then naturally they have no connection whatsoever with students at lower levels.

Of course, even so, there will still be some people in high-end fields who can perceive the subtle details.

For example.

"...Using a city blackout as an excuse to send all the students out of Academy City?"

Imperial Governor Kakine.

He is the second-ranked young man among the only seven Level 5 espers in Academy City. Moreover, he is the only Level 5 Holistic Theory esper in the world.

Although he did reach a level that no one had ever surpassed in history, Kakine Teitoku was not the kind of person who liked trouble.

Although the idol industry in Academy City has been largely inactive for a long time due to various events, the second-ranked idol in Academy City has suddenly become the world's only Level 5 Holistic Ability User—

Needless to say, trouble will naturally come crashing down on you like a tidal wave.

This is equivalent to the biggest problem in the world for Kakine Teitoku at present.

He did not ask Aleister to make his rankings public, although the chairman himself in the UK should have done something, but he had no interest in worrying about that.

After all, that guy was one of the people who went with them.

With him around, there's nothing to worry about. That's right... Right now, in any world, there's probably no one who can beat that guy.

The second person thought to himself.

Just as he was pondering these thoughts, the door to the room was opened.

click-

The person who entered the living room was a stunningly beautiful young woman.

The girl was wearing a gorgeous light pink dress and had long, golden hair.

She walked up to me while holding some documents and threw them onto the table.

"I don't think I've told you where I live now."

"Oh dear, you don't know? No matter which idol in Academy City you are, you can't escape being monitored. Not to mention I'm your manager. I even know what you bought with your bank card today."

"What a hassle. I should have just converted all the money in my card into cash."

While saying this, Kakine Teitoku looked at the other person impatiently.

He was currently in a luxury apartment in the Seventh School District, which he had just bought this morning.

Relying on his astronomical bank account balance, the second person came alone to this villa-like apartment. He neither enjoyed life nor did he intend to do anything; he simply sat alone on the sofa.

There was a bottle of orange soda on the table, fresh from the refrigerator, but he didn't touch it.

His manager, Yuzai Haimi, also sat down next to him after seeing this.

He then drank the soda directly from the table.

"Hey."

"What does it matter? You haven't even had a sip. It's a waste to just leave it like this, and wasting food is bad!"

The girl winked at him playfully, but Kakine Teitoku ignored this heart-fluttering gesture as if nothing had happened.
