Even Accelerator, who never changes his expression, couldn't help but frown.

The third person is on this island.

This is really troublesome... It would be fine if we tried to avoid it, but according to what Budwei said, it seems that the bastards called "Gremlin" are also here.

Since battle-related events are going to occur, it's inevitable that the two will see each other quite often.

If possible, Accelerator hopes he will never see that guy again for the rest of his life.

However, now...

"So you're saying you didn't do anything wrong at all, and that I just ended up at the destination you already chose by mistake?"

"Hmm~ Is it really just a coincidence? I suggest you try to recall your memories of Academy City, it'll take a lot of effort."

Yes.

If it weren't for Budwei's early arrival in the Hawaiian Islands after overhearing Accelerator's intelligence—

Therefore, the only explanation is that it was part of the arrangements for this idol live event itself.

Who exactly are these so-called "high-ranking officials" of Academy City?

It's not hard to imagine people like that.

"For example, if it were the chairman of the board of directors of Academy City, it wouldn't be difficult for him to simply issue an order to arrange the venue for the Live event in another country, right?"

“...that bastard.”

We can basically guess the specifics of the situation.

Accelerator, gritting his teeth in utter displeasure, even wanted to flip the table over. That bastard Aleister… he orchestrated all of this.

If I could, I would really like to kick that bastard's egg right now.

"Don't be angry, Yifang."

Hatsune Miku, sitting next to him, waved her hand with a wry smile and handed him the iced coffee on the table.

"Come on, being angry all the time isn't good for your health. Have some iced drinks to cool down. Besides, it's a rare and romantic trip to Hawaii."

"Tsk... I just didn't want that bastard to take advantage of me for nothing."

Although the two never confronted each other directly, Accelerator always knew how Aleister was regarded in his heart.

If that guy hadn't interfered, Last Order and Hatsune Miku wouldn't have ended up like that.

"So, according to you, the 'Gremlin' are on this island?"

"Well, they've probably already started taking action by now."

In just a short while, Budwei had already finished the entire ice cream topping of his drink.

"How do you plan to determine their actions? The Hawaiian Islands should have many areas, right? Or are you just certain that those guys will definitely appear here?"

Regardless of whether Accelerator intends to help Badway or not, the fact remains that the enemy they are referring to is located on this island.

If such a situation could threaten himself or those around him, he would absolutely not leave it unattended.

However, even in the face of such arguments, Budwei remained unmoved.

The blonde magical girl casually sipped her drink.

"You don't need to worry about that at all, and neither do I."

"…What?"

Accelerator hadn't yet figured out what the other person was saying.

He casually picked up his cup, took a sip of the not-too-bitter iced coffee, and then—

The next second, the first person frowned.

"..."

Similarly, Hatsune Miku is the same.

The two put down their cups and shifted their gazes in another direction.

The area located outside this cafe.

An alarm then sounded.

"They've finally arrived."

"So fast... Is it an enemy?"

"No, he's probably just playing a minor role."

Budweiser put down her unfinished drink and stood up.

She spoke very casually.

"But no matter what, he's still a magician."

Bang! ! !

The next instant, smoke and dust covered the coffee shop in front of us.

The three were sitting on seats in the outer area. At this moment, without the shelter of the shop's glass windows, the dust and smoke, like a sandstorm, directly engulfed their bodies.

Under normal circumstances, this mysterious smoke would definitely cause everyone to scatter.

However, the strongest in Academy City is not afraid of this at all.

Boom——! !

He gently placed his foot on the floor.

In an instant, an unbelievable storm blew everything away.

Manipulating the atmosphere from scratch to create a raging storm—that's the power to control the direction of all energy.

“Wu——?!”

"They are...!"

What was exposed to the three of them was Liu Ming's strangely dressed woman.

They were all roughly the same age, around eighteen, but they all wore unique masks and dressed in a uniform, bizarre style.

Budwei smiled as he looked at the group of people.

"Is this little bastard already getting impatient?"

"—!!"

Realizing that this was the enemy leader, the mages immediately sprang into action.

Buzz! Their footwork changed into a unique gait, almost like a dance, instantly closing the distance between the three of them.

but.

"—Stop."

Cannot be violated.

The control force that directly impacted the mental realm instantly froze all the mages, causing their movements to waver for a moment that lasted less than a second.

Followed by.

What Accelerator did was still lightly tap the floor with his feet.

The soil was blown up and flew into the air.

The supersonic shockwave instantly rose from the depths of the earth to the feet of the mages. They were unable to mount a proper resistance and were instantly knocked to the ground by the strongest attack.

But it's not over yet.

The last mage lying on the ground raised her hands, and then, shimmering, butterfly-like creatures flowed from her fingertips.

It hurtled straight at Hatsune Miku with the speed of a crossbow bolt.

Bang——! !

In that instant, Accelerator used his right arm to block the butterfly.

Reflection has been activated.

Even so, the butterfly of light, which was directly manipulated by the energy direction, did not immediately dissipate. After a stalemate of about half a second, it exploded in the direction of the mage's body, and then turned into a sky full of golden lightning.

"Waaaaahh ...

The lightning struck the mage's body, causing her to become completely dizzy.

'...It really isn't for me, so-called magic.'

Accelerator can use his superpowers to resist the enemy's magic and thus achieve maximum refraction. Even so, he doesn't know what will happen after the refraction.

If it were a water gun, it might defy the laws of physics and transform into light.

This time, the butterfly of light was reflected and transformed directly into lightning.

With completely different systems of laws, if it were Accelerator using his original power, it shouldn't be too difficult to reverse-analyze the essence of things.

However, in this world where magic and science intertwine, there is something he cannot understand that interferes with the connection between ability users and magic, which is why he finds it difficult to comprehend it directly.

But no matter what, the strongest will always be the strongest.

The strange insects might be able to injure the lion's body directly, but they would also be fatally wounded by the lion's attack.

The three of them glanced around briefly and found that no other ordinary people had been implicated.

"Is that all?"

"Don't rush, the main course is right in front of you."

Budwei looked straight ahead again.

In the hall at the far end, there was a figure that was sure to attract attention.

There stood a young girl.

A radiant, princess-like girl in a blonde dress, seemingly straight out of a fairy tale.

The girl was surrounded by countless men in black, and Budwei narrowed his eyes slightly upon seeing this.

"This is what that woman did."

"what?"

"That guy used some kind of unique magic, which caused my bodyguards to be knocked down... Although I want to kill her outright, I'm not quite sure what she used yet."

Accelerator then turned his attention to the girl.

At the same time, he also noticed two familiar faces hiding behind a nearby pillar.

Kamijou Touma, and the chestnut-haired girl hiding behind him.

The girl's name is Misaka Mikoto. It might not be very noticeable if you just say it, but she has a name that is famous throughout Academy City.

Railgun.

"...The third one is here too."

"What, is it that you can't act because you know someone? Or is there some unique grudge between you two?"

"You talk too much."

Accelerator also clung to the wall, not immediately leaving.

then.

"Thank you, grandma."

The girl spoke.

Her eyes were fixed in a certain direction, and then she began to act.

"—Thank you for giving me the opportunity to dance with His Highness the Prince. Please support me with these beautiful gifts, such as your sparkling dress and crystal shoes, and let me be the elegant and perfect princess this night."

Cinderella.

Accelerator's mind instinctively conjured up these words, and then—

The girl, who was still in the hall, moved with lightning speed.

And so, they headed towards Touma Kamijou.
