Hatsune Miku, sweating profusely and with a pale face, waved her hand.

The first one is indeed the strongest superpowered person.

However… in terms of idols, I suppose they are 'the strongest'.

Chapter 249: There have been too many changes, haven't there?

After that, I was busy for the entire day.

With the 'enthusiastic' help of Junba Shogi, Teitoku Kakine, and Shizuri Mugino, the rehearsal preparations, which should have only taken a short time, took a whole day. It was almost evening when Hatsune Miku and Accelerator finally left VOCALOID's Japanese branch.

It was incredibly difficult.

"Remember this, first one."

Before leaving, Kakine Teitoku didn't forget to say this to him.

"While my primordial matter may not be as good as yours in terms of ability... it's a different story when it comes to idol rankings."

"The number one throne and the hearts of my lovely audience will both be mine, don't forget that! Hahaha!"

Has this kid been kicked in the head by a donkey?

"What should we do?! That second person's statement is practically a declaration of war! Should we fight back?!"

"I'd be crazy to actually take something like this seriously."

With a sigh, Accelerator walked back onto the street.

Now that the world has merged, the news that seven superpowered individuals have become idols has spread throughout Academy City, and may even have spread throughout the entire world.

No matter what Accelerator does, he can't escape this kind of development.

However, being an idol is something I can tolerate to some extent, but it's really tasteless to be foolish with this bunch of idiots.

"It seems that the road ahead will be very difficult."

"Hmm...? Would the strongest ability user say something like that?"

"Even the strongest has its limits... By the way, why have you been talking so much lately? Are you in a good mood?"

"Hehe~ I naturally got happy when I heard that Accelerator was also going to become an idol~!"

The first person to walk harmoniously down the street with a world-class idol singer, Hatsune Miku, is someone whose status is enough to influence the world, but a simple change of clothes will solve the problem.

How long has it been since we've experienced such a harmonious daily life?

Since returning to this world, he has been venturing into the dark side of Academy City. After being mercilessly dismantled by the monster named Aiwass in the deepest part of the darkness, he traveled all the way to Russia, desperately trying to save those girls.

After regaining everything, he finally began the life he had been longing for.

In the past, he would have felt that he could never fit into this bright world, but things are different now.

Standing at the intersection, he gazed silently at the night sky.

Early November in Academy City was enveloped in a quiet chill, with the atmosphere of approaching winter surrounding it.

It really is unbelievable.

After traveling through countless worlds, I returned to this world where I was born and raised, and then... lived harmoniously with the people I had met in other worlds in a wonderful daily life.

Compared to the past, he has experienced unprecedented and tremendous changes.

"One side~!"

When I came to my senses, the voice was calling to me.

The girl was already standing across the street from the intersection, waving and calling out to him with a joyful smile.

"...This isn't bad, is it?"

That's enough.

The person who used to immerse themselves in darkness is no longer needed.

For Accelerator, all he needs to do is protect the people around him that he wants to protect.

Whether it's good or evil, there's no need to dwell on such a simple question anymore.

Unbeknownst to him, a slight smile appeared on Accelerator's lips.

"Don't you dare leave so fast, you idiot young lady."

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

There is no longer any need to consider anything related to the Dark Side.

Accelerator personally communicated with Academy City, and all the Dark Sides were dismantled. The original "Group" no longer exists.

Even so.

"You haven't called me in ages. I thought you'd died in World War III, meow~"

"Isn't that the same annoying tone you always use?"

On the other end of the phone was Tsuchimikado Motoharu.

Although Accelerator has broken free from the darkness and has no intention of getting involved with the darkness of Academy City again, he still left his phone number with people he knew before, so that he could use it as an intelligence network.

"Also, how did you get the information that I went to World War III?"

"Do you think anyone doesn't know the information that 'Academy City's first person appeared in World War III'? It's already common knowledge."

"Tsk, those bastards up there really dare to do that."

Tsuchimikado Motoharu and Accelerator are the same; they both escaped the darkness.

I heard he has a foster sister, so he must be living a peaceful and harmonious life with his only relative right now.

"So what brings you to me then?"

"...It's nothing serious, just a simple confirmation."

"Ah~ that's really kind of you to go to all this trouble. First one, I heard you're going to become an idol soon? Oh wow! Is it the kind of role where you sing loudly to cute female fans on stage? That sounds amazing, meow! If you could, I hope you could be kind enough to find me a few really cute female fans. Maybe we could even become a couple at first glance—"

One-way unilaterally hung up the phone.

This guy, aside from work-related matters, is a complete psychopath.

"Okay, it's decided!"

Inside the living room, the energetic voice of Last Order came from behind.

"To celebrate Accelerator becoming an idol, let's all go out for hot pot today!!"

"Hey~ that sounds pretty good."

"Although I prepared hamburger patties, it's definitely a good choice to go out for a meal together once in a while."

While Accelerator was making phone calls to confirm the situation, the women behind him had already begun deciding what to eat for dinner that night.

"that…"

While Last Order, Yomikawa Aiho, and Yoshikawa Kikyo were indeed fine, and the extra characters seemed to have gone off to do something else, Hatsune Miku raised her hand in a somewhat awkward situation.

"Although I really want to go with everyone, but... given my status..."

The three blinked, and then they realized something.

"Oh right, Hatsune Miku is a world-class idol singer. If she just goes out with us like this..."

"There's bound to be a riot... Misaka Misaka briefly imagined the scene of Hatsune Miku appearing in the restaurant..."

"Hmm, wouldn't it be better to just dress up?"

"Well... it's fine if it's just on the street, but what if it's in a place with so many people..."

If someone is recognized in the restaurant, the entire restaurant will instantly become an extremely popular interview area, with a huge crowd completely covering the area.

"Huh? You could have easily solved that kind of small thing, couldn't you?"

Click. The sound of the door opening came from behind me.

The extra character, dressed in a pink and white cheongsam, walked towards them.

"Extra...?"

"I remember you should have quite a few people on your phone who can handle these kinds of things, right?"

"Huh? Is that so...?"

"What, you told me this yourself before, have you forgotten?"

It's not that I forgot, but rather that I never had any related memories in the first place.

Because of the merging of the worlds, it seems that everyone except Accelerator and Hatsune Miku has had their memories forcibly modified and inserted with various fictional ones.

However, this is not just a matter of memory modification; in reality, this is indeed the case.

"It really exists!"

After turning on the phone, Hatsune Miku discovered that there was indeed such content inside.

On the contact side there's an endless list, and then... at the very top there's a contact you're particularly interested in.

Before Hatsune Miku could even make a call, the same number had already dialed her number.

Hatsune Miku blinked in surprise, and after answering the call, she put the phone to her ear.

"Excuse me, is this...?"

"Future Miss? Don't you recognize me?"

It was the voice of an unfamiliar young girl, and because the volume was turned up very high, everyone present could hear it clearly.

"Um... excuse me, who are you...?"

"It seems you've really forgotten my name... It's Yuka Kamishiro, my name is Yuka Kamishiro, remember it well."

A name I don't recognize at all.

The result of global integration seems to have had a significant impact, such as suddenly finding a bunch of friends you don't know at all...

"Yes, we've figured out the details, so don't worry, Miss Future."

"Huh? W-what? How did you figure that out?"

"That's all for now, someone will come to help you soon."

Click, the other end of the phone has already hung up.

Hatsune Miku blinked in astonishment, completely bewildered.

"What did they say?"

"She said she's figured it out and there's nothing to worry about...?"

Before Hatsune Miku could finish speaking, a series of knocks came from outside the door.

Huang Quanchuan Aihui looked over in confusion and slowly opened the door.

Outside the door was a group of people wearing sunglasses and dressed in black.

"You are…?"

"Hello, we are here on the orders of Miss Shindai, and we have specially invited a few people to a designated location."

"Kamishiro? Oh, is that the person from the phone call just now?"

"Yes, please follow us to the designated location as soon as possible."

What are you doing?

Accelerator, who had been sitting by the window drinking coffee, looked over in surprise. These guys had been doing some incomprehensible things since earlier, and what were they doing now?

Is this also a problem caused by global integration?

"Um, Yifang..."

"Tsk, there's no other way but to follow them for now."

Although he didn't know what the other party intended to do, Accelerator couldn't sense any malice from the dark side of these people.

Let's go and see for now.

As mentioned before, the group followed the men in black to a location not far away.
