She even had a headache about what she was doing.

"Waaah... He hasn't even finished one of the tasks I was given. What about that child called Last Order? No, I have to find her!"

The more Hatsune Miku thought about the safety of the final work, the more anxious she became.

Then, just as she was about to rush to the Seventh School District.

"—Waaaaaa!!"

Two figures suddenly ran towards us.

Huh? Before she could even react, one of the figures had already bumped into her.

"Ah ah--!"

The three of them then piled on top of each other like a human pyramid.

"The escape plan has failed miserably!" Misaka sighed, lamenting her failed scheme.

This, this voice...?

Hatsune Miku couldn't help but get up from the ground, only to find that there was another person in front of her.

"Well, that..."

A figure in a blue school uniform rose from the ground to the side.

He had dark hair, and seemed to be wearing a flower wreath on his head, and there were also things like tags on his shoulders.

"Excuse me! I'm a disciplinary committee member. Just now, this child..."

"Eh…?"

Hatsune Miku quickly got up and then saw the petite figure lying on the ground with the flower crown girl in front of her.

She couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"His final work?!"

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

Accelerator is walking on its way back to the Seventh School District.

Now that the Dark Division's mission is over, there's no need for them to wander around aimlessly.

The four of them then parted ways. Tsuchimikado Motoharu was in charge of cleaning up the aftermath of the incident, Kihara Awaki went to the logistics department for treatment, and Kaihara Mitsuki escorted the magician girl to the hospital, probably still visiting her.

I don't have anything important to say, but first I need to make sure that kid is safe.

"...Tsk, quite a few troublesome things happened today."

At the entrance of a convenience store, Accelerator couldn't help but smack his lips as he pulled open a can of coffee and poured the bitter, cold liquid into his mouth.

The coffee in Academy City is still better.

But just then, he felt a slight vibration in his pocket.

"... "

Accelerator frowned, pulling out his phone with one hand. The number displayed on the screen made his frown even more pronounced.

Even so, he still answered the phone.

"Thanks to you all, the Dark Side 'Group'."

Every covert organization has a contact person responsible for rotating missions. This contact person generally does not appear in person, but instead communicates with these members by telephone.

The man on the phone is their contact person for the "Group".

"It's thanks to your help that we were able to successfully resolve this riot... I'm so glad I have such a great group of subordinates."

"Let me give you a piece of advice: if you spout a few more of that kind of nonsense, I won't mind sending you a few bullets."

"Oh dear, those are truly terrifying words."

The man's tone on the phone remained unchanged.

"Now you no longer need the collar to use your abilities, right? If that's the case, then we can't control how you use your abilities."

"..."

"Although I don't know exactly what cured your brain, I can't say whether it's a benefit or a drawback for us."

"So, you called me just for this ridiculous, trivial stuff?"

Accelerator showed no mercy in his tone when speaking to the man on the phone.

"Speak to me quickly if you have something to say."

"Okay... that's exactly why I made that call to tell you."

then.

"—I'll tell you now, the next piece of information concerning the Misaka Network Command Tower, specimen number 20001—Last Order's life."

And just like that, a photo appeared in Accelerator's phone.

It was a picture of three girls sitting together in an open-air cafe.

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

It's in an open-air cafe nearby.

Three beautiful young women, enough to attract the attention of passersby, sat here, enjoying a large ice cream sundae on the table in front of them.

"So delicious!"

After leaning out of his chair to take a bite of his sundae, Last Order, with a broad smile on his face, exclaimed in astonishment.

"The aroma of strawberry and vanilla blends together perfectly, it's amazing! Misaka Misaka is so delighted by the deliciousness of the ice cream sundae that she can't help but want to sing a song!"

"That's absolutely true~"

The girl with the flower crown next to her also showed a joyful expression, enjoying every bite of the ice cream she took.

Hatsune Miku simply blinked at this.

"Miss Haru seems to really like sundaes too."

"Huh? No, it's just that I'm really happy to eat something sweet once in a while!"

"The girl with a flower crown on her head," said Uiharu Kazari.

Her role is that of a disciplinary committee member who maintains order in the city. For Haru Shiori, helping the people is something she should do.

That's why she's with Last Order at this moment.

"And I really didn't expect that Miss Hatsune would actually know this child..."

"I only just met this child, we're not that familiar yet..."

Even so, the final work is really pleasing.

Putting aside her adorable appearance, her personality and tone alone are enough to win over most of Hatsune Miku's favorability; she simply couldn't resist wanting to pick her up.

"I was supposed to come and pick up the child, but it's been delayed until now. I'm really sorry!"

"No, no, taking care of this child is a great experience too."

"Whoa!"

Just as the two girls were talking, a single hair on Last Order's head suddenly stood up.

"felt it!"

"What did you feel...?"

"It's a limited edition Gekota pendant!" Misaka Misaka couldn't help but exclaim loudly.

If you look in the direction of the last creation's eyes, you'll find that the crepe cart next to it seems to be having a promotion—buy it and you'll make a profit, with a limited edition Gekota phone charm as a free gift.

It's probably an activity designed to encourage customers to spend money.

"Misaka wants that! Misaka couldn't contain the anticipation in her eyes and tried to beg Hatsune Miku and Haru-nee beside her!"

"Ah ha ha…"

Both Haruhi and Hatsune Miku couldn't help but smile wryly.

"Then, let me do it."

"Oh! Misaka Misaka can't help but feel very grateful for Hatsune Miku's generous behavior!"

"It's okay, it's just a phone charm. You can buy it anytime if you really like it."

"That's great!"

Watching Last Order happily, even skipping and jumping behind Hatsune Miku, Uiharu Kazari couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"So…"

Taking advantage of the two leaving, the girl with the flower crown turned her attention to the sundae in front of her.

"Let them enjoy it during this time!"

The girl's eyes seemed to turn into starlight, and an undisguised anticipation shone through them.

then.

"Excuse me, young lady."

A man came over.

Shiori Haru couldn't help but look up; the other person seemed taller than her even when she stood up from her chair.

He was a young man with brown hair and wearing a fancy top.

The young man had a calm smile on his face. He was holding a photo in his hand, and his eyes were fixed on Haruharu Shiori.

"I'm looking for someone. Have you seen this child in the photo?"

That was the last photograph I took.

I don't know how the other party obtained it, but in any case, they seem to be looking for the final piece.

"This child runs around everywhere and we can't find him properly. It's really hopeless. I wonder if you, Miss, have seen him?"

"Um…"

Shiori Haruhiko said, resting one hand on her chin.

"no."

"...Oh, I see. I'm sorry to have bothered you."

"It's okay, it's okay! Besides, if you really can't find it, you can report it to the disciplinary committee members and security guards."

"um. Thank you."

The young man smiled gently, then turned around.

“Oh…right, little girl, I almost forgot something important.”

"Um…?"

Chu Chun Shiri, biting her spoon, couldn't help but turn around.

Bang——! ! !

The young man kicked Chu Chun Shili away with one kick.

"I know you're with Last Order, you self-righteous idiot."

Chapter 199 You've Completely Fumed Me

The young man who appeared here knocked down Hatsuharu Kazari with a single blow.

The ice cream sundae that was originally on the table was blown away by the shockwave, and the girl fell to the ground.

The excessive force caused her face to sting, and she tried to get up.

The person in front of her suddenly stepped on her right shoulder.

"Ugh——!"

"Of course I know you're with Last Order. You think playing dumb will work? Really."

The brown-haired youth, Kakine Teitoku, pressed his foot down hard without any mercy.
