One-way traffic

"I'll be fine living on the third floor."

"But, but, the rooms in the other buildings are plentiful, and there are plenty of empty rooms on the first and second floors..."

"I just need a place where I can be completely alone, and it won't disturb you from doing anything else, that's all."

Although the waiter wanted to say something more, he couldn't help but swallow hard when he saw the stack of banknotes on the table that the other party had no intention of taking back.

"Okay... Here's your key."

"You're quite eloquent."

Under the strange gaze of the waiter, Accelerator went straight up the elevator and arrived at the hotel on the third floor.

This hotel has a very good reputation and is comparable to large-scale hotels.

Accelerator glanced around and found that his room number was 304, which was relatively close to the inside. He did see rooms marked "under maintenance" along the way.

He did this not simply because he was going it alone.

Click.

After confirming the surrounding situation, he entered the room.

It wasn't very big, but it was equipped with a bed, a bathroom, a TV, and even a computer.

Accelerator sat down at the table.

I had just turned on my phone when a series of messages came through.

"Hey there! Have you eaten yet?"

"You're not staying at a hotel nearby, are you? I can see your signal here, it seems like you're in the city."

"Ugh... I'm so bored. I'd really like to go shopping with you if I could..."

"Please reply to me..."

What happened to this woman this time?

Accelerator smirked and typed a few simple words.

"Are they just bored and have nothing better to do?"

"What kind of talk is that! It's so rare for me to see you again, and you say this to me like that... That's too much! You're such a bad person!"

This guy seems to have a lot of free time.

Hatsune Miku replied to him almost the instant Accelerator sent the message, which made Accelerator, who was originally planning to go and sort out the information, sigh again.

If I just ignore her reply and keep doing my work, she'll definitely come looking for me with a big dissatisfaction the next day, right?

If you close your eyes and think about it, you can even picture Hatsune Miku looking sullen right now.

...What an oddball.

"You still have time to talk nonsense? I remember, your so-called Valkyrie exam is about to begin soon, isn't it?"

Let's just start by talking about any topic and that's it.

However, in just a moment, the other party responded directly.

"That kind of thing is fine."

"what?"

"Because, after all, she is an S-rank Valkyrie. For me, even if those exam contents were laid out, it would only be one-sided. So, Principal Theresa would naturally not use that level of assessment!"

"...So you're just taking advantage of the situation?"

"No, that's not it! Instead, I will be responsible for a brief sparring test with those Valkyries during the final assessment, which will serve as the ultimate test for them."

"That brat Theresa, how could she come up with such a method, making you exert so much effort to test her? Aren't you afraid that you might accidentally use too much force and kill one or two of the little girls?"

"No way!!! I would never do something so rude, you big idiot!!!"

Boring chatter can be nice sometimes.

"What an idiot."

Unable to resist chuckling, Accelerator immediately closed the chat window.

Next.

On the left and right sides of the phone screen, he displayed two sets of intelligence data.

The left side represents destiny, and the right side represents entropy reversal.

Although it was information from two years ago, according to Hatsune Miku's words, those three so-called gems should have been found fourteen years ago, so they don't affect his close range.

"...Is this the thing?"

A desire for gems.

A sharp, emerald-green gemstone, resembling jade, with its current location marked below it.

Located in the Oceania branch of Destiny, in the region of New Zealand.

"New Zealand, another sea crossing?"

Could it be that in the future he will need to travel across different regions of the Earth every day, like the sun?

This troubling thought was quickly dispelled by Accelerator.

Let's do it one at a time.

"Well, we can just investigate them one by one, right? First, there's this thing called the Desire Gem. It's located in New Zealand, so we'll have to go to Oceania first..."

At least for now, the objectives of the operation have been determined.

Accelerator then looked through the other content again.

...Something definitely wasn't right.

Why would the internal documents of Anti-Entropy mention a guy named Bronya?

Why did her content appear in the database of Entropy?

Considering things like Bronya's rampage today, it seems there's more to it than meets the eye.

We also need to be careful about the reverse entropy aspect.

"And then...this guy?"

That should be considered the most crucial thing.

The man with long blond hair and green eyes is in the picture.

Otto Apocalypse.

As the bishop of Schicksal, he also seems to have transformed Schicksal into an organization specifically targeting the Honkai.

It can be said that the entire organization operates around him.

Accelerator had never met this man named Otto, but he could tell from just one photo that this guy had a very special aura.

It always felt like that look of someone scrutinizing something.

"…Um?"

Then, he noticed something even stranger.

The page immediately following Otto's is Theresa's page.

Theresa Apokalis.

"what?"

In an instant, even Accelerator was stunned.

Please wait a moment—

"These two people... have the exact same surname?!"

then.

—Something exploded directly in his room's window.

boom! ! !

That seemed to be a direct collapse.

Accelerator turned around, and the lights in the room shattered. A dark figure ran out from the outside.

That must be a robot.

The robot, which wasn't large, only about the size of a soccer ball, flew out of the building in one breath and landed on the roof.

however.

"Chaser!"

That's a move from the Doomsday Destroyer's "Psionic Generator" mode.

Six crystal-like generators instantly transformed into particle cannons with white tips, appearing out of thin air on the robot's screen, and then—

They circled above the robot, and six red and white streaks of light instantly locked onto it.

Bang! !

By the time Accelerator arrived, the robot had already completely exploded.

He frowned. He had controlled the force of that attack within a limited range; he was absolutely not going to destroy it.

In other words, the robot terminated its function on its own.

"Is it to prevent me from investigating all the way there? Interesting, they've even completely erased the circuit program."

Even Accelerator's Nathos can investigate the memory of electronic circuits, but if there is no record at all, even he is powerless.

But this situation actually illustrates one point even more.

The bastard who sent this robot must know about Nateus's abilities.

In this world, there is basically only one organization that knows about this ability.

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

"…oops."

The huge screen in front of the woman suddenly went black.

However, she was not troubled at all; instead, she smiled.

"Data collection was successful."

Cocolia.

She was once a member of Anti-Entropy headquarters, and now she is the leader of the Anti-Entropy reform faction.

"No matter how much you destroy the small mechs I send out, I still hear the actual intelligence with these ears."

Oceania, New Zealand.

And, a desire for gems.

"And I've also confirmed one thing completely."

Looking at the photos transmitted by the small mecha at the last moment on the screen.

—A monster with white hair and red eyes.

Cocolia couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth into a smile.

"Long time no see."

"So should I say, 'It's just a small world,' huh? Hehe."

Chapter 276 The Girl in the Wheelchair

To get to the Oceania branch of Destiny, you need to plan your entire itinerary carefully.

However, none of this is necessary for Accelerator.

He doesn't need to take a car because he already has one, and he doesn't need to fly a plane because he can run faster than a plane.

In conclusion, Accelerator made no preparations whatsoever and swaggered off to Oceania, a place that is very far away.

only.
