One-way traffic

It remains a common occurrence.

Then, the two of them appeared directly in the original living room.

"Whoa...! That was close..."

After several attempts, Hatsune Miku finally managed to avoid immediately putting pressure on Accelerator.

Even so, she still looked a little unsteady.

Accelerator ignored her and sat down on the sofa to relax for a while.

He had already mentally accepted this place as a place where he could rest directly.

Just like a habit, once a person does something many times, they will eventually get used to it.

However, Hatsune Miku sees it in a way that's not so simple.

'One side... he... he can already consider this place his home...?'

Looking at Accelerator sitting casually on the sofa, Hatsune Miku couldn't help but clasp her hands together, and all sorts of strange thoughts began to run through her mind.

'Come to think of it, he called me Miku there before, oh, could it really be... No, no, no! No way! Don't have such fangirl thoughts, Miku! You're not a fangirl! Cheer up, you idiot!'

After managing to suppress her girlish thoughts by spouting all sorts of strange things, her face still turned bright red.

"...What's wrong with you?"

"What? There's nothing there!"

The girl quickly waved her hand, ultimately unable to express what was on her mind.

Accelerator scoffed, already used to this kind of thing.

So let's do what we've always done.

He casually opened the system menu, thinking that this time, he would receive the reward he would get after completing the mission, just like before.

"…Huh?"

He couldn't help but voice his doubt.

Hatsune Miku, who was standing nearby, blinked and walked over to him.

"What's wrong...?"

The girls who looked over showed surprised expressions when they saw what was on the screen in front of him.

As always, the soul system sent them rewards.

Then, below that, there were other things.

"In the first team battle, the host and his friend won the challenge mission together."

"For this performance, the system has sent corresponding special rewards to the spaces of both users. Please check them as soon as possible."

"The system content is structured as above. We hope you have a pleasant time using it."

Special reward... Ah, I think there really is such a thing.

Accelerator and Hatsune Miku exchanged a glance, then both looked directly at their menus.

…He silently glanced at the so-called special reward.

Click.

With a crisp sound, something was opened.

boom--! ! !

What was revealed was a deep purple stream of light.

"Ah ah--!"

Hatsune Miku behind him was somewhat dazzled by the light and couldn't help but step back, while Accelerator showed no fear whatsoever.

He gently slipped his hand inside.

—And just like that, something substantial came into his life.

"This is…?"

Under his gaze, something reached the deepest part of his soul.

There lay his Level 5 superpower, beneath which lay the symbol of jet-black wings, above which lay a silver pistol and a fiery red, infernal scythe.

Now, something entirely new has emerged above that.

Those were six purplish-black objects.

It looks like a floating cannon.

It was marked with a word that could only be clearly seen by one side.

Doombringer

Particle Generator mode.

Chapter 164 Why do we always rely on changing clothes?

Doombringer.

A floating cannon-type attack weapon capable of drawing out the user's own powerful strength in the most extreme way.

There are six units in total. They possess extremely high defensive resistance. Even if they are thrown into the deepest strait on Earth, they will not be damaged. Their temperature resistance can even withstand the temperature of the sun's core multiplied by ten. They can also be used in outer space.

It can switch between three modes, and the current mode that can be switched to is: Particle Generator.

When Accelerator saw these words, he knew that this was indeed a brand new weapon.

Doomsday Destroyer... that really does fit his personality.

As he did these things, his consciousness detached directly from the deepest part of his mind, bringing him back to the present reality.

Click.

Under these circumstances, six floating cannon-like objects hovered directly beside him.

The surface of the floating cannon is black and purple, making it look like some kind of unique metal. It flies permanently by relying on an unknown force, and there are also switch symbols on its surface like power sources.

"Flying, flying in mid-air...!"

The sudden appearance of something startled Hatsune Miku.

However, ignoring the astonished girl beside him, Accelerator looked at the six floating cannons around him with some surprise.

Let's set aside the issues of usage and attack.

"This... it doesn't mean it will stay like this forever, does it?"

If this weapon is meant to float around him forever, then forget it.

Accelerator couldn't bear the thought of having to carry those six enormous iron lumps around his head forever. While the increase in strength was certainly a good thing, it didn't mean he had to give up a normal life.

It would be nice if it could be a little smaller.

—Just as this idea emerged, reality changed.

Under the watchful eyes of the two people, the floating cannons in front of them underwent a visible change.

It began to shrink from there.

"Eh? What what?"

"ah…?"

Even Accelerator was taken aback.

The six floating cannons instantly transformed into a condensed form, merging into one and attaching themselves to Accelerator's neck, losing their brilliance.

No, that's not the case.

The object transformed into a necklace, its front end shimmering with a faint purple light, like a power switch.

Hatsune Miku and Accelerator both stared at the object in surprise.

It turned into a necklace...?

"Really...?"

Despite her incredulous expression, Hatsune Miku was still staring at the necklace around Accelerator's neck.

How could something so huge shrink to such a small size in an instant?

Accelerator touched the thing on his neck thoughtfully. Could this thing... have heard his inner thoughts?

Then, following that idea, it became a necklace, something easy to carry. In a way, Nathos was the same; after making the choice in his mind, he transformed into that kind of sports car.

This is my new strength.

Although I haven't actually used it yet, and haven't even looked at its internal specifications, well, how should I put it...

There's a feeling...

Accelerator believed from the bottom of his heart that this weapon would have a huge impact on his future.

If we exclude the special rewards obtained from team battle missions, what remains are the rewards obtained from normal missions.

With a touch of curiosity, he clicked on the rewards section on the interface again, and then, the same brilliance shone before him.

However, what appeared before them was no longer a new weapon.

Instead, it was a piece of mineral, a purplish-black mineral crystal with an unusual shimmering light, about the size of a palm.

It quietly drifted into his hand and turned into an ordinary gemstone.

"…ah?"

Is that all?

Accelerator blinked in surprise. He opened the system menu, intending to see the gem's description, but there wasn't even the most basic information.

It was as if the system had malfunctioned and simply gave him a very ordinary gem.

How is this possible…?

"So beautiful...!"

Hatsune Miku, standing to the side, couldn't help but stare at the gem in front of her, her eyes widening in surprise.

Although Accelerator sees it as nothing more than a useless crystal, Hatsune Miku sees it as a beautiful gem she has never seen before.

Of course, it's hard to describe how Accelerator feels about this.

After unlocking the mission rewards, all I got was this incredibly ordinary crystal... What's the use of it?

He sighed and put the crystal back to his side.

then.

The faint light instantly became dazzling.

The moment Accelerator took the crystal to his side.

"Wow, what a bright light!"

The light is emitted from inside the crystal.

The crystal, which should have been considered a waste rock, actually emitted a dazzling light.

The reason is quite simple.

It was because he had pressed the gemstone onto the necklace near his chest.

That necklace was directly transformed from the Doomsday Destroyer.

"Could these two things be related?"

Such thoughts kept drifting through his mind.

If there really is a connection, then the fact that this crystal glows when it encounters the necklace transformed from the Doomsday Destroyer isn't really a problem.

but why?

What is the reason for this?

Accelerator tried to understand these things, but the materials were limited and not enough for him to analyze enough intelligence.

He could only hold the dimly glowing stone in his hand.
