"Eh eh eh eh—!!!"

Ruined.

Completely petrified, Hatsune Miku was unable to utter a single word and collapsed to the spot.

"I... I choose the dare..."

"Let's run the 1000 meters!"

One thousand meters... Thinking back to when she participated in activities before, she found it difficult to even run 800 meters, so Hatsune Miku completely gave up on this idea.

If I were to use my abilities, traveling several kilometers wouldn't be a problem, but how could I possibly unleash that kind of power in front of everyone?

I can only accept my fate.

"I... I can't even answer the question..."

"That's good. Don't worry, Miku-nee, I won't mention any problems that would make things difficult for you."

Despite what he said, Kagamine Len's smile was clearly malicious, and it was impossible for Hatsune Miku to feel at ease.

“Then…Miku-nee.”

With that, he voiced the question that had been lingering in his heart.

What are your thoughts on the person you care about most?

The person you care about most in your heart...?

This, this kind of problem...!

"It's okay if you don't say his name, just share your thoughts on him."

Can I just share my opinion without mentioning names...?

Hatsune Miku sat there, looking at the gazes of those around her. Although she was shy, she couldn't possibly break the rules of the game.

That's all I can say.

"As for my opinion..."

And so, she slowly revealed her true feelings to the depths of her heart.

Speaking of which, who is the person you care about the most?

I'm not sure.

However, I always feel that when I think about this kind of topic, the words just slip out unconsciously.

"I suppose he's a very contradictory person."

"Oh?"

Led by Len Kagamine, everyone couldn't help but look at her.

"What does 'contradiction' mean?"

"Hmm... that person, he seems to have a very good personality, but... I always feel like he's deliberately avoiding his true feelings."

With a blink, Hatsune Miku couldn't help but reminisce.

I recalled everything that had happened so far.

"Although he has always been doing very kind things, he always sees them as things only bad people do, and he always views his identity as something completely different, but it also feels like his heart isn't as it appears on the surface..."

"So, that's why he's such a contradictory person...?"

Because one cannot distinguish whether one is good or evil... If this is the case, it is not an exaggeration to call it a contradiction.

Kagamine Len and Kagamine Rin blinked together, unable to help but show expressions of astonishment.

"I never expected that Miku-nee would know someone like this..."

"And it's about whether it's a boy or a girl that matters?"

"Ah... if that's the case, then..."

Hatsune Miku quickly waved her hand, trying to avoid these questions, and Kagamine Len also realized this.

He cleared his throat and then had Hatsune Miku walk to the gashapon machine.

"Alright, I'll continue."

The game of Truth or Dare continued in this way.

However, all of this was being watched closely by someone.

"A contradictory person, huh?"

The person sitting in the chair, murmuring softly, is Kaito.

He showed no outward expression, but it was clear that he was deep in thought.

He remembered all of this.

————————————————————————————————————

Accelerator stood on the top floor of the building.

He picked up the coffee can again, but it was completely empty.

"This is so boring."

Five days of rest, it would be so boring to spend every day like this.

Let's just all lie on the sofa and sleep from now on.

With that thought in mind, he turned around.

The sound exploded in his ears.

Bang——! ! !

A terrifying sound, like a pistol bullet blasting through the air, whistled in his ears. He could feel something shooting towards him, straight at his right arm.

At the same instant, the object that was shot at them returned the way it came.

The same explosion was heard from the buildings in the distance.

Reflection has been activated.

"…ah?"

Accelerator lazily turned around, casting his uninteresting gaze toward the distant building.

There seems to be something on it.

He pursed his lips, glanced at the coffee can in his hand, and took the next step without any hesitation.

Throw the empty coffee cans, which are empty, onto the roof of the building across the street.

Crack! Like flying sand and stones, a cloud of smoke instantly rose from the opposite building, the coffee can that burst out like an arrow directly causing this situation.

The effect wasn't significant, but it was enough to impact the entire rooftop.

but.

"You don't need to play hide-and-seek with me."

Accelerator turned around and looked at the rooftop behind him.

"From the moment you appeared, you could no longer escape my sight, understand?"

He simply stepped on the ground.

An invisible shockwave instantly reached a certain location, followed by a hurricane that shot into the sky.

A shadow was swept up, but the opponent was not immediately knocked away.

Even though the shadow was blown away by the hurricane, it still managed to land on the ground in a normal posture, right in front of the pedestrian crossing.

Only then did he get a clear look at the other person.

"female?"

She was a black-haired girl dressed in a gorgeous kimono.

She was probably around fifteen years old, with long black hair and golden eyes that shone like lights in the darkness.

Accelerator could see that she seemed to have a katana at her waist, a weapon that was much longer than her height.

"who are you?"

She didn't speak.

He simply gripped the hilt of the knife at his waist, letting it protrude slightly.

Bang——! ! !

The white figure opposite her stirred up a whirlwind and flew past her cheek in an instant.

Fresh blood dripped onto the ground.

"I said, who the hell do you think you are? You want to die?"

Since the other party intended to attack me from the beginning, there is no need to hold back.

He admitted that he had indeed become more tactful, but that didn't mean he would show mercy to those who deliberately courted death.

Accelerator remains the number one figure in Academy City, a monster who kills without blinking an eye, as is his due.

"This courage and this strength, there's no mistake, there's definitely no problem."

"You think you're too long to live? I wouldn't mind turning you into a pig to be slaughtered right now."

Accelerator moved his fingers; if he wanted, he could tear his opponent's body apart at any time with a tornado with wind speeds exceeding 728 kilometers per hour.

But the girl shook her head.

"If a massacre were to occur here now, many serious consequences would follow. Even if it affected the people below, would you be willing to accept that?"

"You'd better listen to me clearly first."

She looked at Accelerator, who was standing directly opposite her, and Accelerator was also looking at her.

Although he could kill his opponent at any time, Accelerator is still a human being and will eventually think things through.

He wanted to figure out what the other party planned to do.

Because such a guy is just too strange; such a bizarre guy shouldn't exist in this ordinary world.

"Stay away from Hatsune Miku."

"what?"

This made him frown.

Do you know who you're talking to?

Even so, the girl remained unmoved in the slightest.

She ignored Accelerator's threat and continued speaking.

"By being with Hatsune Miku, your actions will cause strange mutations between worlds, and then..."

"The thousand cherry blossoms will eventually bloom in full glory."

What the hell?

Accelerator couldn't understand what the other person was saying. He could understand at first, but the more he talked, the less he understood.

"If Hatsune Miku continues in this state, Senbonzakura will eventually bloom directly, and then the most dangerous thing will happen."

So... what exactly are you going to say?

The first person asked in a somewhat cold tone.

"Yes... what I'm trying to say is very simple."

The girl blinked and continued.

"If the goal is to ensure the safety of both worlds, the best approach is to allow the divine spirit to return to the heavens."

"To completely eradicate Hatsune Miku's life, and then... send her straight to the guillotine and kill her forever."

"Only in this way can we protect all the other worlds forever."

The girl blinked, only to find that the person in front of her was no longer there.
