He turned his head and saw it.

A petite, familiar figure ran up to her.

"you--?"

"Hmm? Why do you look so puzzled? Misaka Misaka is suspicious of your attitude... And what exactly do you smell like?"

The girl, twitching her little nose, approached Accelerator.

"It smells like another woman?! Misaka Misaka is astonished by this fact. You actually do such a thing as flirting?!"

He recognized it.

Of course he recognized the girl; in fact, it was impossible for him not to.

My final work.

In the past, she was like a pillar of support for me, the most important girl.

"Oh, you're back? Aiho has already made dinner. It looks like it's hamburger patties today?"

"That's true, but it's just a simple dish made in a rice cooker."

Two women came out of a room on the side.

"It seems there's nothing good at the supermarket today. That guy is a carnivore, so I guess I'll just have to buy some meat that the kids and he both like to eat."

"I'm not a child anymore! Besides, Misaka actually prefers ice cream and sweet snacks to hamburger patties!" Misaka Misaka said in a cute tone as she ran to Yomikawa's side.

The three people gathered together.

They were exactly the same three people I remembered.

"Yomigawa River... Yoshikawa... The Last Work..."

He subconsciously touched his neck.

Even without electrodes, he could still think normally, meaning that all of this was not a dream.

He did indeed leave his original world, encounter all the stories up to this point, and then—he returned here.

"What's wrong? Accelerator, your expression is really strange."

Kikyo Yoshikawa, who used to be one of the researchers in the Absolute Ability Project, looked over with a light smile.

"Come and eat quickly. It's just a simple hamburger patty, but it's still meat, right? It's irresistible for someone who loves meat like you."

"That's right! And if you don't come soon, Misaka is going to eat yours too! Misaka Misaka mischievously tiptoed, trying to steal a bite of Accelerator's hamburger patty!"

"Hey, it's still very hot. Don't eat it so quickly, or the children will get burned."

The three of them were happily chatting and invited him to come over.

"you…"

Accelerator couldn't help but mutter to himself.

He took a step.

Bang-!

The world was shattered.

Before him, the beautiful living room and the three of them were reduced to fragments, which swept away into the distant sky in one breath.

what?

Even as he was still thinking this, a shadow had already shot over.

Boom——! !

He was completely dumbfounded in this situation, and had no idea that someone had quietly approached him.

"Who do you think you are, kid?"

A blond man with tattoos on his face stood in front of him and punched him hard in the face.

There are many logs.

The surrounding scenery had also turned into a ground mixed with rain and blood.

"You don't actually think you can handle everything, do you? Or is it that after simply spending time with those brats, even a monster like you has started to feel qualified to come into contact with that world of light?"

Accelerator touched his face, feeling the pain as real as if it were real.

"Who do you think you are? Tell me, Accelerator, who do you think you are?!"

"Hahahaha! You bastard, you'll never amount to anything! Let me tell you, Accelerator, you're only fit to live a life more miserable than mud. What right does a piece of trash like you have to protect and save others!"

The more he listened, the more his hands trembled.

asshole.

"You bastard—!!"

Bang! He also manipulated the vector and shot forward.

He tore Kihara's body apart, and then...

What unfolded before my eyes was a completely different world.

A night filled with shipping containers, exposed to the cold wind.

“Could it be?!”

"Misaka's number is 10032. Her identity has been confirmed. Let's begin preparing for the experiment." Misaka briefly reviewed the details of the experiment.

pat.

Footsteps came from behind him.

Before he knew it, his clothes had all turned into familiar colors.

The colors are black and white.

"you--!"

"From this moment forward, the 10,032nd phase of the Absolute Ability User Project officially begins."

He was stunned.

Sister Misaka, No. 10032.

The other party was holding some kind of firearm and began shooting at him without any mercy.

Bang——! !

Gunshots rang out, and bullets pierced through Yifang Tongxing's shoulder.

"Pfft—Gurgle!"

"...Unbelievable. Your ability should have been able to deflect all of Misaka's attacks before. Misaka looked at Accelerator with some confusion. Why didn't you continue to deflect them like before?"

What a joke.

How could this be possible—how could this possibly be turned on!

Even though he could adjust his reflection, he was still afraid that he might hurt Misaka Mikoto. He didn't even dare to activate his reflection or use his ability anymore.

Accelerator knelt on one knee, clutching his blood-soaked arm.

The pain was intense.

However, I am mostly confused.

"...Why does it still appear?"

"Hmm? Misaka seems puzzled by your question."

"Why are you still showing up in a place like this?!"

He is indeed the strongest esper in Academy City.

But not now.

Accelerator has now completely given up all resistance.

He could easily charm the girl in front of him with a single strand of his hair, but he couldn't do it, and he would never do such a thing again.

"I don't understand why Accelerator would suddenly stop using the methods he's employed so far?" Misaka asked, somewhat puzzled.

"do not talk…"

"One minute into the experiment, Misaka intends to continue this situation."

"Stop talking..."

"Misaka——"

"I told you to shut up!!"

Boom—!! He stepped on the ground and launched himself into the air.

The world is falling apart once again.

Accelerator lay on the unknown ground, the pain in his arm long gone.

However, he was too weak to stand up again.

The ground and surrounding area were filled with corpses.

These are the corpses of over ten thousand Misaka Sisters whom he slaughtered.

They all have the same face.

"Guwaaa—"

Even though he had always been a cold-blooded monster who could kill any enemy with ease, he felt nauseous because of these corpses.

Accelerator leaned on the ground with one hand, panting heavily... He finally managed to calm himself down.

It was like a nightmare.

This place is probably a reflection of my inner world.

Is it the influence of Witch's Night?

If you want to, you can manipulate vectors to tear apart places like this.

but.

He realized that he had lost the strength to tear everything apart.

It should be as simple as moving a finger, so why is it like this?

"...Ugh, what stupid thing am I thinking?"

That's right.

Right now, I'm still thinking about saving other people in other worlds, believing that I can start over if I go to another world—

These more than 10,000 corpses are the greatest bloody proof of his own actions.

Did you think that you could start over in another world?

These sins are countless, and he can never repay them.

Accelerator lay sprawled on the ground, powerless, his hands flailing out.

There is no hope.

A bastard like myself will never have any hope of being touched by the light in my life, and I will never be able to do anything upright or honorable.

How can someone who has incurred such a blood debt still think about repaying it? Seriously, how childish!

I really want to kill myself a million and a half million times.

And so, little by little, he raised his head.

--ah.

Beyond the sea of ​​blood, there were other things.

"What?"

Accelerator noticed.

That was a radiance unlike any of the others.
