One-way traffic

"……what?"

There was one person, no, two people standing here.

The streets looked messy, like those medieval cobblestone streets.

From here, you can see the massive city gate and magnificent castle standing in the distance. At the same time, rivers, alleys, and cities—representative elements often seen in modern society—are also presented within this city.

However, there is one difference.

All the buildings here are built in a medieval style.

"That's it? Boring. Is that all?"

A demonic shadow stood on the street.

Manic, tyrannical, and overwhelmingly domineering—this was his presence, a figure who looked no more than sixteen years old, nearly 1.7 meters tall, and whose gender was indistinguishable.

White hair, pigeon-blood red eyes, grayish-white clothes that seemed out of place in his surroundings, and—

An unimaginably tyrannical aura.

Accelerator is ranked number one among Level 5 espers in Academy City, the strongest esper at the pinnacle.

An upright and righteous monster has descended upon this place.

then.

"Um, are we done yet?"

A soft, sweet voice came from beside him.

Her clothes were completely different from his; she was a young girl, very lively and charming, with an elegant and refined air like a young lady, and she was also sixteen years old.

She wore a white lily-like top and a black and red short skirt with a white background. The edges of her white stockings were slightly black and red. Her long, azure hair with a hint of emerald green was tied into two sides with black and red hair clips. Her equally azure eyes were even more captivating.

Hatsune Miku, a world-class idol, possesses a princess-like aura that creates a distinct separation between her and the strongest monsters around her.

Although the two were standing in the same spot, they somehow managed to create the feeling of being separated by dimensions.

These are not the most important things.

"It seems to be over."

The first person looked around, his eyes wide with astonishment.

"So, what kind of godforsaken place is this anyway?"

It is clear that the creatures are not human.

People with rabbit ears or other creatures, resembling subhumans, walked past them. There were also carriages not far away, indicating that the technological level of this world was definitely not modern; they couldn't even find the most basic streetlights.

The environment on both sides was extremely noisy, resembling a street stall.

On the other side of the stone bridge, you can see knights wearing silver armor, just like the medieval knights in display cases in Edinburgh, England, except those are real people.

This is the world where Accelerator and Hatsune Miku have descended.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived here without even realizing it.

The first person turned on his phone as usual, and naturally there was no signal, but he was already used to it.

Fortunately, he no longer needs the electricity from the electrodes to sustain himself; otherwise, in a world with no technological advancements like this, there would be no charging outlets, and he would have no way to survive here.

"So, it's what they call another world?"

This is truly fantastical.

Accelerator felt as if he had stepped into the world of the fairy tale books that the brat used to read every day, even though it was all real.

Unlike this villain, the world-class princess was more concerned with other things.

"Wow! Yifang, look! Is that a cat? Or a girl with cat ears? She's so cute!!"

"...You really have a lot of free time."

The first one sighed.

There's nothing I can do but accept my fate.

He walked over to the street stalls in front, which looked like a fruit shop.

However, he couldn't understand the signs on the shops at all; they weren't written in any language.

"Hey young man, how about it? These berries are freshly picked, won't you have one? They're so red and big!"

Standing behind the stall was a middle-aged man with a scar on his face and green hair wrapped in a black headband, who looked quite intimidating.

But Accelerator couldn't help but frown.

Rikka? What is that? It's just a regular apple.

"Where did you learn Japanese? It's not even close to being good."

"Huh? What's Japanese? And what else could it be called but Rikka?"

So, that's what it's all about?

Although the languages ​​are completely different, the pronunciations are basically similar, so normal communication shouldn't be a big problem.

What an interesting world.

"Speaking of which, what exactly are you planning to do, buddy? Ah—you wouldn't happen to be a penniless guy just like that kid from before, only here to cause trouble?!"

"No, I do have some self-awareness."

Accelerator said casually, then turned and left.

The shop owner sighed in displeasure.

"Seriously, what's wrong with all these young men lately? They're all acting like lunatics... By the way, is he a man or a woman again?"

After leaving the vendors, Accelerator finally found the world-class idol, Miss, who was still looking around in the same spot.

"Did you find any useful intelligence?"

"Yeah, well, this world doesn't just have cat-eared girls, there are even dog-eared, wolf-eared, and elf-eared girls too!"

It would be a mistake to place your hopes on this idol princess.

The first person decisively gave up on asking Hatsune Miku for information and subconsciously opened the Soul System interface, which only the two of them could see.

Current location: Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World-

World Free Mission: Please follow your deepest intuition. The Soul System will provide relevant prompts to the host at certain corresponding points.

The system content is structured as described above. We hope you have a pleasant experience using it.

"World Free Missions, that's really quite a lot of freedom."

They don't give them even the slightest hint; they have to rely entirely on their own intuition to trigger the mission.

—So, there are no decent task prompts at all, and they have to rely on themselves for everything?

The first ability user was immediately speechless.

"This is really troublesome."

They were unfamiliar with the place and didn't even have the most basic currency.

Although the two had saved some food and clothes they had prepared at home in their inventory before coming, various problems still affected them enough.

"Um, is this okay?"

Hatsune Miku noticed the displeasure on Accelerator's face and walked over with some concern.

"As expected, the tasks this system has given us are quite difficult...?"

"Not at all. Besides, even with a clear goal, we still have things to prioritize."

"What is that...?"

"Scouting ahead is crucial; if we don't understand the terrain around here, we could suffer a great loss."

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

As the strongest evil party said, they embarked on what they called a pioneering journey.

To put it simply, it was just shopping.

but.

"What are you doing?"

Accelerator walked on the inside of the street, while the girl on his outside was doing the same thing the whole time.

He held up his blue and white smartphone and took pictures everywhere.

"As you can see, beautiful scenery should always be captured and recorded!"

"Hey, do you even understand our current position? You don't actually think this godforsaken place is a tourist attraction, do you?"

"Hmm...that's true, but taking a few photos as a memento shouldn't be a big problem, right?"

"Tsk."

The first person pursed his lips helplessly and continued walking on the same street as her.

However, something rather unique soon happened.

Bang——! !

Under Accelerator's watchful gaze, a shadow suddenly appeared on the street.

It was a young girl with golden hair and the same red eyes as him.

"Excuse me! I'm in a bit of a hurry, so please make way!"

The girl slipped out from the crowd and flashed past them in a flash.

"Huh? Is that a girl?"

Hatsune Miku looked over in surprise. Although it was a petite girl, she had just jumped down from the roof.

She brushed past Accelerator and Hatsune Miku, then leaped away again.

To fly to the roof of another house in an instant is something that normal humans cannot achieve.

"Wow, wow, that's amazing! How can you jump that high in one go...?"

Accelerator glanced casually at the spot where the other person had left, sensing a unique aura lingering in the air.

It wasn't a tangible smell, but something that only he could perceive.

"Is this some kind of show of force as soon as you walk in?"

However, this is not the point.

"That one, Yifang."

"Ah? What's wrong?"

The first person felt the girl next to him call out to him like that, so he turned around immediately.

Hatsune Miku led him to the other side and pointed inside with some surprise.

"Look over there..."

The first person looked inside and found a rather interesting scene.

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

This is a very dark alley.

"Again? Kid, do you even know how stupid you are?"

"What is that person over there talking to himself about? In the end, he's just playing dumb with us?"

"Ha, so you still cowered like a pig when you saw my knife? What a spineless piece of trash!"

"Ugh, you guys are so annoying! You bastards, don't kick my face! Pfft—!"

There were three people surrounding and beating one person; to be precise, it should be described as a complete and utter beating.

This is a seventeen-year-old high school student, who is naturally male.

With black hair and brown eyes, his hair was also very messy because of the beating. He looked like an ordinary high school student. The clothes he was wearing did not look like the clothes of this generation. Instead, they looked like sportswear with black, orange and white stripes.

But saying all this is pointless.
