Accelerator raised an eyebrow. According to what that system said, all he had to do was subconsciously think about it…

In an instant, the electrode he was holding disappeared from his hand. Then Accelerator also grabbed his cane, which was also put away.

He looked again at the equipment section of the system menu, where there were now two smaller versions of the electrode and cane icons.

It works quite well.

"Huh? Where did that electrode you were holding go?"

Hatsune Miku returned to the living room and was somewhat surprised to see that there were no electrodes or cane around Accelerator.

"It's nothing, I just put it away."

He took a light breath.

"More than that, I think we need to talk about what's next."

Accelerator leaned down slightly and looked at Hatsune Miku in front of him with a serious gaze.

The girl was startled for a moment, her heart racing slightly as she looked into those crystal-clear eyes, as red as pigeon blood.

"W-what?... "

"It was this thing called the Soul System that assigned us the so-called world mission."

The current time is 12:15 PM.

A very rich fragrance wafted out from the living room of Hatsune Miku's house.

"Hehe~ Come on, Yifang! Try my cooking!"

A girl with pigtails, dressed in casual clothes and wearing an apron, lightly brought out some prepared dishes.

Fried vegetable rolls made with very fresh vegetables, small sushi with glistening fish roe placed on rice and seaweed, steamed with matsutake mushrooms and eggs, and served with fresh shrimp, and even the miso soup is made with a unique and carefully prepared method.

And, the largest portion of spicy fried chicken.

"The preparations are truly lavish."

"Of course! After all, this is your first time visiting my home, so I'm definitely going to prepare a delicious meal for you!"

She even figured out that she likes spicy fried chicken... She must have overheard what Takibayashi said before.

However, it's worth noting that even though I've arrived in Hatsune Miku's world, Takibayashi hasn't come.

I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to see him again in the future.

"Hey! Are you even listening to what I'm saying? Honestly!"

Hatsune Miku waved her hand at Accelerator with some dissatisfaction, which brought him back to his senses.

If this scene were seen by almost everyone in the world today, they would probably all go crazy. This is a dish made by a world-class idol, and it's even made by a princess who is extremely important to them.

Accelerator simply gave a casual reply.

"It's amazing you still have the energy to cook in this situation."

"What kind of talk is that... No matter what, the principle that food is as essential as iron will never change. Alright, hurry up and try the food they made!"

It was almost as if they were forced into it.

Looking at the girl's expression that said, "If you don't eat, I'll rush up and bite you," even the number one person at the pinnacle, who was above 2.3 million people, couldn't help but tremble.

He had no choice but to pick up his chopsticks and gently take a piece of fried food that he would never give up: spicy fried chicken.

"How is it? How does it taste?"

"It's not bad...it tastes good."

Accelerator didn't want to say anything, but almost subconsciously, after taking a bite of the fried chicken, he unconsciously uttered the words "delicious".

It was much better than any fried chicken he had ever eaten at any fast food restaurant, and even someone as taciturn as him couldn't help but give it a good review.

Hatsune Miku's expression immediately lit up with surprise.

"Really?! This is the first time I've tried this flavor, so I wasn't very confident. I didn't know I had such a talent for it!"

The girl excitedly picked up a piece of fried chicken and stuffed it into her mouth.

"It's so hot!!!"

"Are you an idiot? Didn't you just make this? You actually put it in your mouth without even blowing on it?"

"But, but I clearly saw you stuff it into your mouth in one gulp..."

"I do have a reflex, but you don't actually think that freshly baked food is completely safe, do you?"

Having regained his strongest abilities in Academy City, he no longer needed to worry about the danger of burning his mouth.

Accelerator's power not only gives him an unparalleled advantage in terms of destructive force, but it also helps him in other aspects of life.

When sleeping, he can reflect sound to achieve the best sleep effect because the reflection can bounce off all the dust. So he doesn't even need to take a bath. He can easily control himself from gaining weight, no matter how high the calorie food is. He doesn't need to care about the climate change in summer and winter. Naturally, the food he eats, whether it is scalding hot or icy cold, will not overstimulate his tongue.

He was unable to activate his reflexes 24/7 due to damage to his prefrontal cortex, but now that he has regained his abilities, he no longer needs to care about such minor details.

Upon realizing this, Hatsune Miku immediately showed a very dissatisfied expression.

"That's outrageous! This is practically cheating! And maintaining one's weight is just too much of a cheat! It's practically the enemy of girls!"

"You really have a very fulfilling life."

The first person ate a few more bites of the dish and then ate a mouthful of rice.

"Let me make this clear beforehand: you and I are currently in a bound relationship, similar to being system friends. We only have three days left. If you want to do anything else, that's fine with you, but I advise you to resolve this as soon as possible."

"Yes, you're right! What would happen to this world if we left it? What if we were gone for a month, or even a year...!"

"System prompt: The host does not need to worry about related matters. After the host leaves this world, time in this world will be offered to the host with two options: flowing at an extremely slow speed or stopping completely."

"Phew... I guess that's alright."

The girl immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said.

"This way, I won't need to keep asking for leave from the firm. Otherwise, I'd have a mountain of work waiting for me to handle..."

The first one didn't bother to pay attention to the girl's incessant wailing.

He simply ignored the sound and started eating the food on the table.

"What?! You actually reflected the sound too! How did you get such cheating power?"

No matter how much Hatsune Miku questioned him, the psychic in front of her just kept eating the food in front of him.

Once the girl with twin ponytails understood this, she immediately pouted and looked at the first person.

What a peaceful life!

Chapter Twenty-Six: The Villains of a Peaceful World

The simple lunch break has passed.

Although it was quite exciting and nerve-wracking for Hatsune Miku to invite a complete stranger to her home for the first time..., this person held a special place in her heart, so she didn't feel overly tired.

She sat down on the sofa with Accelerator.

"Huh? What are you up to now?"

"...Your life seems so boring. Shouldn't you be playing on your phone, watching TV, or playing games at a time like this?"

As Hatsune Miku said this, she couldn't help but glance at the phone that Accelerator was holding... it was a flip phone.

She couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

"Um, I remember the place you're in, Accelerator, is called Academy City, right?"

"so what?"

"I remember Mr. Takibayashi saying that the place should be decades ahead of modern technology... but why are even cell phones just flip phones?"

"Oh, you mean that?"

Accelerator casually turned on his phone and pointed the camera at the floor in front of him.

Buzz—! A beam of light, like infrared rays, shone directly into the living room, just like that.

A 3D scene, resembling a Rubik's Cube, instantly overlaid the real world.

"Huh? What, what is this?!"

"It's just a very simple holographic projection technology. This kind of thing is usually just a boring game for kids. In Academy City, which can even master the technology of jumping between three-dimensional spaces, this kind of thing is even installed in toy phones that come as free gifts when you buy them from street stalls."

"Isn't that amazing technology? It far surpasses the technology of this generation of mobile phones!"

The first person, thoroughly bored, moved his neck with his hand, causing a cracking sound to be heard from his neck, and then turned off his phone.

"So, you don't have anything else to do next?"

"Um... well, I actually had the whole day off today."

"Tsk."

Accelerator gave a helpless shrug.

To be honest, he didn't want to stay in this kind of place any longer, and ultimately, he didn't need to stay in someone else's house any longer.

But there's no way around it; Hatsune Miku is now forcibly bound to Accelerator by the system, and they will be partners embarking on world missions together from now on.

My friend.

The strongest one just stared blankly at the ceiling, making it impossible to know what he was thinking.

"I'm going out for a short walk."

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

This place just looks like an ordinary world.

The first one was still wearing the same gray and white outfit and dark pants he had worn when he arrived. With his white hair and red eyes, he still looked quite trendy and handsome.

He certainly attracted a lot of attention from passersby along the way.

“I said, although I meant I wanted to go out for a walk.”

As they walked, the person in the first position developed a strange expression and turned their head away.

"But why have you been following me all this way?"

Turning around, Hatsune Miku, who had also changed her clothes, was also following closely beside Accelerator.

Unlike his more conspicuous attire, Hatsune Miku covered herself up quite thoroughly, making it impossible to discern her appearance at a glance. Even so, her unique charm was still very captivating.

These two, destined for greatness, certainly became a captivating presence on the street.

"This is a completely unfamiliar city for you, or are you really so sure you won't get lost?"

"cut."

While one person was annoyed, the first one relaxed indifferently.

He walked side by side with the girl beside him, his hands in his pockets.

"You're clearly an idol, yet you live in such a chaotic place. I really don't know what you're thinking."

"Keep your voice down! Even though they're idols, can't they just enjoy experiencing the vibrant social life?"

The two of them walked along the street, and at the same time, they saw some unique and strange sights in the distance.

For example, there are sports cars decorated with posters of Hatsune Miku in her official outfit, shops that specialize in selling Hatsune Miku-related merchandise, and even television screens on distant buildings that continuously play clips of her singing.

Judging from this, this young lady idol is indeed an extremely popular type.

"So, what are you planning to do next?"

While following Accelerator, Hatsune Miku also seemed a little excited.

"Would you like me to take you to the amusement park nearby? Or how about we visit a park? Oh, by the way! The cherry blossom trees there are really beautiful, and there's a nice clothing store there too!"

"I think it's you who wants to go to those places, isn't it?"

The first person ignored the girl beside him and slowly walked into a shop that could be seen everywhere.

No, it shouldn't be called a shop.

It's just an ordinary supermarket.

"Huh?! It's just going to the supermarket?"
