"I'll wait and see."

The sound completely disappeared.

At this point, the interior of the windowless building was completely silent, as if the silence that had lasted for hundreds of years had once again enveloped the entire room.

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

A relatively peaceful day.

Yoshikawa Kikyo, who had been idling around since waking up in the morning, yawned and went back to sleep until almost noon.

With a click, the door was casually pulled open by her.

Good morning...yo.

"What a load of rubbish! Look at the clock before you speak."

In the living room, someone was lying on the sofa casually watching TV.

Accelerator, the number one player in Academy City, is now lying in what looks like a small apartment, which seems incredibly incongruous.

"Hmm...don't you need to do anything over there?"

"As I said before, we're basically on leave right now, and even if we wanted to work, we couldn't find anything."

"Oh, that's quite a good development!"

The Accelerator of the past would never have done such a thing. Even on his day off, he would have made a decision to completely separate himself from these people. He had to constantly monitor whether the people of Academy City would harm those around him. Therefore, Accelerator would not allow himself to involve them.

But things seem different now.

Driven by a change in his heart, Accelerator has become much more tactful than before. Even the strongest monster in Academy City has learned to cherish the warmth of being with the people around him.

If those enemies he had defeated in the past knew this, their souls would surely be restless in hell.

It's like a monster dinosaur that could shatter an infinite number of parallel universes with a single slap, suddenly appearing in a child's kindergarten, wearing a bow on its head and playing happily with the children—a truly incongruous scene.

Kikyo Yoshikawa, still in her pajamas, walked into the living room rubbing her eyes.

There was no one else in the house except Accelerator, who was lying on the sofa watching TV.

There was also a half-empty can of coffee on the table.

"Where is Aiho...?"

"That guy said he was going on patrol because some strange unrest had broken out in District 22, and he had to be transferred there to search for it."

When he said this, Accelerator's expression changed slightly.

The report from District 22 says there were no casualties. It seems that the guys who used magic last night defeated that bastard called Rear Water.

Hmph, whatever.

"Oh, I see. Then... where is Hatsune Miku?"

"He went out with that brat."

Even when Hatsune Miku and Last Order were mentioned, he still maintained a nonchalant expression.

"What do you mean? There's a children's amusement park expo opening today, and that guy went with that brat... How boring, how can a grown man act like a kid?"

"Well, she's still a sixteen-year-old girl, she'd probably enjoy being with kids, right?"

Kikyo Yoshikawa walked to the table with a smile.

She glanced at the coffee, picked it up, and drank it all without a care in the world.

"…Hello."

"I'm very sleepy, so I need to perk myself up."

"What kind of bullshit are you talking about? I drank that!"

"Hmm, so what's wrong?"

Seeing Yoshikawa Kikyo completely unconcerned that he had drunk from the coffee, and continuing to swallow the bitter liquid in one gulp, Accelerator decided to stop talking altogether.

This woman is insane.

"By the way, how long do you think your vacation will last?"

"Who knows?"

Accelerator turned to the side, deciding not to go for any more coffee.

"However, it certainly won't be fixed. It could be an endless holiday, or you could have to leave after just one hour."

That's how the underground team works.

Sometimes they don't even have time to eat, and their lives are constantly in unprecedented danger. This is the level of danger on the battlefield, no less than that of fighting on the military battlefield.

Even so, Accelerator remained unfazed.

"Ha... he really is a very busy person."

Kikyo Yoshikawa no longer seemed sleepy and casually sat down in a chair.

The two of them stared at the television screen in front of them, but neither paid any attention to the content.

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

Just as said before.

Under a bright, sunny blue sky that brought joy to everyone, children gathered happily.

"Sister! I want that one!"

"Wait, wait a minute! Don't run around!"

"Oh dear... what a tiring scene."

"Hehe~! Big brother, big brother! That restaurant over there looks really good, let's go eat together!"

A variety of sounds mingled nearby.

This is School District 7, but it's not a district specifically designated for amusement parks.

But today, an event related to an amusement park was held.

Directly ahead, you can see amusement facilities that were built overnight, making it hard to imagine how such efficiency was achieved. However, considering that this is Academy City, an incredible technological metropolis, it doesn't seem like a difficult task.

then.

"Whoa~! So many people!" Misaka Misaka shouted loudly with a cheerful and excited heart!

Walking at the very front, dressed in a white and blue dress, was a petite figure with chestnut-colored hair that resembled a cowlick on top of her head.

My final work.

Behind this person, who is the Commander-in-Chief of the Misaka Network, is a gorgeous figure dressed in a sailor-like uniform with cherry blossom-colored edges.

Hatsune Miku, just by walking here, exudes an eye-catching idol aura—no, in fact, that's exactly who she is, a genuine idol.

However, unlike in her original world, here she can freely choose her clothes and walk freely on the street.

"Don't walk so fast, this is the last one! Be careful!"

"Hehe! Hatsune-neechan is too worried about Misaka's safety! Misaka Misaka happily raised her head and assured Hatsune-neechan that she was safe!"

Ah... what a heartwarming scene.

Hatsune Miku wore a happy smile as she looked at the children and teenagers all around her, and she couldn't help but wear the same expression on her face.

"It seems that all the residents of Academy City are minors. Has everyone always lived like this?"

"Yes, Misaka only heard what that person said, but she's still right about that. Misaka Misaka explained everything very clearly to Hatsune Miku."

The two quickly got back together.

Last Order stayed by Hatsune Miku's side. It was almost noon, and they needed to find a place to have lunch.

"However, it's such a rare and wonderful day, it would be such a shame if that person didn't come!" Misaka Misaka couldn't help but complain!

"Eh... I guess I wasn't going to come after all..."

After looking around at the children everywhere, Hatsune Miku couldn't help but start imagining things.

—Accelerator stands alone among so many children, wanting to get angry but not daring to hurt them. In the end, he can only reluctantly let them tease him, not even daring to react.

"Pfft..."

"Huh? Why is Hatsune Miku laughing?" Misaka asked, puzzled.

"No...no, it's just that something interesting happened!"

Thinking this, Hatsune Miku quickly wiped her eyes, stopping her adorable thoughts.

"So, for the last meal, what would you like to eat today? Anything is welcome!"

"Really?! Misaka wants hamburger steak!" Misaka Misaka happily declared her favorite food!

Um... it seems like you eat hamburger patties every day. Do you really need to eat them again since you're finally out and about?

Although it was somewhat absurd, Hatsune Miku ultimately took her final work to a Western restaurant.

Well, before that.

"…Huh?"

The final work, which was originally holding hands with Hatsune Miku, suddenly came to a standstill.

"What's wrong? Did you find any attractions you'd like to try?"

Hatsune Miku blinked and smiled as she looked in the direction Last Order was looking.

It looks like a takoyaki cart... Does she want some takoyaki?

"No! That's not what Misaka meant!"

However, Last Order seemed to have seen through her thoughts and quickly waved his hand and said...

"It's that child over there!" Misaka Misaka quickly pointed out to Hatsune Miku!

That child...?

"Huh? It really is..."

It was only then that Hatsune Miku noticed a child standing next to the takoyaki cart—

He appeared to be a child, around ten years old, standing in front of the stall owner.

Hatsune Miku and Last Order exchanged a glance, then walked towards him.

"Oh dear, little one..."

The stall owner seemed to be in a bit of a predicament, wanting to say something, but unfortunately, the child was too young to speak.

"Although I wanted you to register with the security guards... I guess you really don't know how."

"...There's nothing I can do."

The boy stood there, his face full of excitement.

"My sister is missing! I have to find her no matter what!"

"So you could just go and register with the disciplinary committee members or security guards..."

The stall owner shook his head in distress.

However, after that...

"Um... excuse me for interrupting."

When he looked up again, two figures were already walking towards him.

She is a strikingly beautiful girl with twin ponytails.

"Excuse me, what's wrong with this child...?"

Chapter 214 My Cousin from Afar?

The Seventh School District launched an amusement park that was built overnight.

Among them, countless young men and women come for simple dates, while others are just children playing here.

However, that doesn't preclude the fact that some people genuinely want to come here simply to shop.

"Ah... but this is really an unexpected situation."
