One-way traffic

One is Arcueid, and the other is Izayoi Sakuya.

Accelerator cracked Arcueid's ability, while Vergil cracked Sakuya Izayoi's ability.

At least, both sides have been cracked.

The white figure on the other side posed no threat at all. Even if his shadow could reproduce Accelerator's abilities, it couldn't materialize those black wings. He could simply use a power he couldn't comprehend to crush him in one fell swoop.

What's left are the rest of the Black Team.

"We still don't know if there are any other members in the Black Team, and even if there are, we have no idea how strong they are."

If we include the robot from that day, the opposing side has at least four main combat forces.

It was unclear how strong the guy standing on the robot was, or whether he was the leader of all this.

In this way, the opposing side would have at least five combatants, while our side would have...

…Although there are indeed five people in total, only three of them are truly capable.

Even if Melina is included, she herself doesn't possess any great power at all. If she were really strong, she wouldn't have ended up being chased by such a group of demons.

In reality, only Accelerator, Virgil, and Hatsune Miku are capable of making a move.

When Miku activated her amplification spell, her attack power was only enough to protect herself.

The main damage dealers are Virgil and Accelerator.

Not enough, not nearly enough.

While it's true that two people alone wouldn't be enough to defeat the opposing team, there are simply too many unknowns. Are there only five people on the other side? Or are there more? If so, just how strong are they?

They were still inside the city of Camelot, and they still held the immortal scabbard in their hands, capable of summoning countless demons.

The gap is quite noticeable.

"Who cares?"

The first one in Academy City clenched his right hand freely.

Are they afraid because of the number of combatants and therefore not planning to advance?

joke.

"Regardless of the actual combat strength, the things that need to be done will never change. This is not a crybaby who can't cope with a little setback."

Just like Academy City on September 30th back then.

At that time, he was alone facing Kihara Kazuta and all the hounds, with only a shotgun with limited ammunition and about fifteen minutes of combat time available. The gap was enormous.

Even so, it won't change what he's going to do.

Accelerator is that kind of person. No matter what he faces, once he has identified his goal, he will embark on a completely one-way path.

"Then... what should we do?"

"Is there even a need to ask?"

He immediately turned his gaze to Melina, who was standing to the side.

"Are you sure that holy sword is really in that castle?"

"Huh? Yes, yes..."

"We can't fight normally unless we find a way to get rid of the power of the immortals. The original plan remains unchanged."

The destination remained completely unchanged.

"boarding."

Accelerator looked directly at Nathos to the side and waved to Virgil.

"You don't need to worry about the seating. The exterior of this car was chosen based on my ideas. We just need to add one more seat."

"…Yeah."

He looked over with a rather peculiar expression.

"You and I share some similar qualities."

"almost."

One-way answered casually.

"No...maybe that's not necessarily the case."

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

Camelot.

A magnificent and imposing castle.

At this moment, a significant spatial change occurred directly within it.

"Well…!"

It seems they couldn't handle the feeling of being teleported.

Upon arriving inside the castle, Bai Ying collapsed to the ground, unable to hold back her retching.

Sakuya Izayoi glanced at the other person briefly without saying anything more.

Arcueid, on the other hand, remained expressionless, probably because her status as a true progenitor of vampires ensured her safety.

"It's very embarrassing."

The sound came from the front of the room.

He wore a black and red robe and had white and red hair.

Demon.

Just like its name suggests, it exudes a unique charm that shines forth without any restraint.

"Is that white-haired person very strong?"

"If that's all there is to it, then it's alright."

Sakuya Izayoi shook her head, which made the demon feel a little strange.

“There’s another guy…”

A few seconds later, the white figure lying on the ground slowly got up.

He took a deep breath, letting his face regain its color.

"A blue-clad man wielding a knife and using strange powers was also there. That guy was quite strong; at least, a simple demon couldn't possibly stand against him."

"Izayoi, is there nothing you can do?"

"...My abilities have no effect on him."

The silver-haired girl shook her head and said without changing her expression.

"His knife seems to be able to cut through space and time, but the power to manipulate space and time has no effect on him."

"is it?"

The demon god did not pursue the matter further.

Unlike villains in typical novels who would simply berate their subordinates without consequence, he slowly walked up to Bai Ying and raised his hand.

The scabbard flew directly from beside him and returned to his hand.

"So, how many people are on the other side right now?"

"Six people, not counting the native NPC, there are only five. Two of them are useless and can't do anything, and the other one is a support type. In other words, only two people can be responsible for dealing damage."

"...You talk like you're playing a video game."

The girl with pink hair, standing to one side, spoke up for the first time, making a sarcastic remark.

"Knowing the intelligence makes things easier. Continuing to play tricks will only drag things out for a long time, so we need to make a clean break."

The Black Team has a total of six members, or seven if you include the giant robot named Asmodeus.

The White Team has a total of six people, or five if you don't count the so-called court magician.

The only ones capable of fighting on the white team are the one with the knife and the white-haired guy. The woman responsible for support doesn't seem to have much offensive power while casting magic, and the other two are just useless newcomers to team battles.

Nine out of ten.

Therefore, it is already clear what decisions need to be made.

"A direct attack is the most appropriate approach than to resort to various useless schemes."

Now that we've basically figured out the actual situation, there's no need to resort to any more useless schemes or cover-ups.

"Break through them head-on."

Now that the actual situation is completely clear, there is no need to worry anymore.

While it's possible that the opposing team still has hidden trump cards, no matter how many they've concealed, it doesn't change the fact that their team has many unnecessary burdens, and their only real fighting force consists of two individuals.

In this way, the result is already clear.

"So, you mean to just blast them to pieces?"

Bai Ying couldn't help but laugh.

"Great, that's fantastic! Let's end this awful team fight quickly...!"

“——Ahh.”

pat.

It was at that moment.

Several people heard footsteps.

"That's true, but isn't it a bit suspicious to be so certain about the other side's situation?"

A man's voice came from the other side.

Bai Ying and everyone else turned their gaze in that direction. Footsteps continued to be heard, and the true form of the shadow was thus revealed.

It was a man, a man wearing a black overcoat.

Black hair, red eyes.

With a large, silver-red sword strapped to his back, he looks just like the protagonist of an adventure RPG game.

The demon slowly turned his gaze towards them.

"Are they from the White Team?"

"My guess is pretty accurate."

That person, the man with the greatsword on his back, smiled simply.

"However, it's more accurate to say that we've 'intervened' rather than participated in this team battle."

"Is there a difference?"

"Ha, you're right, you guys wouldn't understand."

The young man smiled and glanced around at everyone.

"So, that means everyone here is a member of Team Black...?"

"So you're saying you're here to die...?"

Bai Ying narrowed her eyes.

"Whether you're using stealth or some other trick, showing up right in front of us, who do you think you are?"

"...You make it sound so easy."

He waved his hand and continued.

"Just as you said, I am the last member of the White Team. There's no need to speculate about anything else. I just arrived in this world, and I'm a newbie who's playing team battles for the first time. The people on the White Team don't even know who I am yet."

The young man straightened up and looked at everyone in the black team with a half-smile.

"My name is Waiter."

“You may not know what this name means, but that’s okay.”

"You will understand now."
