"He's actually using this girl's body to speak...?"

Budwei raised an eyebrow and charged towards Cinderella without hesitation.

A scepter appeared in her hand.

However, Cinderella did not try to avoid it; instead, she opened her mouth wide.

Bang! !

The tip of Baderwei's scepter was embedded deep into the girl's mouth.

The gums pressed against each other, resulting in teeth flying everywhere and blood gushing out.

But even so, it still didn't stop Cinderella.

"As long as it's remote control, it's possible to make Hai-chan do things that are completely beyond the limits of the human body, things that she can't do at all. Well, although it would be very painful for her personally, it's all for the sake of protecting the information."

"Wow...Wow..."

"Hehe, poor thing, Grey, but you really did preserve our 'Gremlin' information very well."

But, in an instant.

The pale figure suddenly appeared beside the other person.

Squeak——!!

"Goo-ga?!"

"Idiot, you don't really think I'm just going to stand here and watch you like an idiot, do you?"

The one who takes action is the one who gets through.

His scythe mercilessly pierced Cinderella's shoulder, its tip flashing with a blood-red light.

The monster spoke in a merciless tone.

"Get this straight, mage, I didn't come here for your childish games."

Anyone who comes into direct contact with the scythe called Nathos will have their mind directly controlled.

Regardless of who is controlling Cinderella's body, she has now been touched by Accelerator's scythe.

"--That's all there is to it. My goal is simply to gather intelligence. There's no need to listen to the enemy's nonsense, you idiot."

Completely ignoring the magician who was controlling Cinderella's body, Accelerator instantly extracted the memories from the other's mind.

but.

"Hey hey hey."

In an instant, he realized something was wrong.

Although they did indeed read all sorts of information from Cinderella's mind, but...

Her own hands, however, were completely beyond Accelerator's control.

"Your weapon should be able to 'directly control the other person's mind,' right?"

"you…?"

"While you can indeed control the mind of an individual, it's just that individual. Unfortunately, the one controlling Gray's body right now is me, not you."

In other words, while Accelerator controlled Cinderella's mind, he couldn't control the wizard's mind.

"Fully invested in Red Twenty-Five."

"Hehehe, the result of the match is Black Eleven, confirmed."

Bang! !

A cracking sound came from inside Cinderella's body.

When they came to their senses, the blonde girl had already collapsed to the ground like a doll.

Blood gushed from her eyes and other parts of her body, and her life force began to wane.

Both Budweiser and Hatsune Miku couldn't help but blink.

"She, what is this—?!"

"It's a remote communication magic spell, isn't it? This guy, in order to completely preserve the information on his side, is actually willing to abandon the people here?"

Accelerator put away his scythe, and Cinderella was now dizzy. If that was the case, even if he tried to read her mind again, he wouldn't get any useful information.

"Oh dear, this is troublesome. It seems to be a hemorrhage inside the brain. Hmm, this will make it very difficult to continue gathering information."

"No need. I've got the basics figured out. All I need to do is find those bastards hiding in the shadows."

"That's true, but the other side will definitely guess that you have solid intelligence, and then they'll move their hiding place, right?"

"Then let's kill them all before they do."

"Hey, that really sounds like something the strongest person in the number one position would say."

Accelerator and Buddy share the same opinion.

Now that we have information about the enemy's base, there's no reason not to take decisive action.

however.

"...Is it really okay to leave this child unattended?"

The only one that remained in the same place was Hatsune Miku.

She gazed intently at Cinderella, who lay motionless on the ground. The girl's life force was rapidly declining, and she would probably die here soon.

however.

Hatsune Miku transformed her clothes into a certain pose, a pose called Magical Mirai 2018.

An excellent posture for both treatment and support.

"Hey, what do you want to do?"

Budwei raised his eyebrows slightly and said to Hatsune Miku.

"That guy is an enemy, you know? Even so, you still want to save her?"

"We can't just watch her die like this..."

"Even if you heal him, this guy might just jump up and attack you again."

"Wasn't she being manipulated and used as a pawn by her comrades all along? No matter what, I just can't bear to watch her die here..."

"Tsk tsk, what kind of young lady is this? This is a battlefield, not a kindergarten."

Budwei gently tapped his forehead with his hand.

Accelerator, witnessing this scene, simply remained silent.

"...Get out of the way."

He went straight to Hatsune Miku's side.

He placed his hand on Cinderella's forehead, and the bleeding stopped.

"This guy pioneered the use of the inner side of the brain, which is where ordinary external treatment magic is ineffective against brain hemorrhage."

"Hey."

This time, Budweiser really frowned.

"What exactly are you trying to do? Is this doing charity a bit too much? Or are you saying you don't care if this guy actually jumps up and attacks you?"

"Aren't you the one who doesn't understand anything?"

"What did you say…"

This time, it was Budwei who was surprised.

With a grin, Accelerator placed his hand on Cinderella's head.

"I will definitely save her."

"But once she gets back on her feet, she won't pose any threat to us."

"Don't worry, she will never be our enemy again."

Upon hearing this, Budwei couldn't help but furrow his brow.

What exactly does he mean...?

Chapter 316 You're Not Qualified to Be a Villain

Then, the group basically split up completely.

Considering that gathering together would lead to a situation where everyone is caught in one fell swoop, as before, and it would not be suitable for investigating the situation, Budweiser suggested that everyone disperse to different areas of the Hawaiian Islands to search for useful intelligence on their own.

Right now, Accelerator is right behind Buddy.

Oahu, Coral Boulevard Shopping Street.

"What happened to that guy just now?"

"I called the local emergency services and also called the police."

"Is that kind of guy something the police can handle?"

"Of course not, but I've already told you that guy won't attack us again."

Now, Accelerator, Hatsune Miku, and Buddy are gathered in the shopping district.

Although the three of them were there to investigate information, Accelerator still had to deal with the priority issue of arriving on the island first.

That was his second live performance as an idol.

He had just received a notification from his manager that the live performance was tonight, so he had to finish everything between today and tonight.

More importantly, if he doesn't deal with these guys, he might even see dead people appearing at his own concert.

"So, you said you were here to gather intelligence, right?"

"Yes, that was indeed said."

"Then what are you doing coming to this godforsaken place?"

Upon closer inspection, the three were located in the area to the right of the shopping street... which is the clothing street.

The surrounding area was filled with very fashionable and gorgeous women's clothing, not to mention skirts and Hawaiian-style swimwear, there were also quite a few hats of local specialties.

But that's the real reason why Accelerator was so furious.

"This has absolutely nothing to do with intelligence gathering, right? Or are you the kind of person who pretends to search for study materials but then starts playing video games within three minutes of going online?"

"Boss, a coconut-flavored drink, please. Hatsune-chan, what would you like?"

"Huh? I... I'd like the cantaloupe flavor..."

"...Don't just agree to other people's requests without their consent."

Before him stood two people buying fruit and drinks directly from a local shop, and Accelerator felt he had nothing to say about it.

But Budwei waved his finger again.

"Don't say that. First of all, according to the intelligence you've obtained, you've basically figured out what those guys' target is, right?"

"so?"

"Before taking any concrete action, I need to confirm one more formal matter."

After taking the drink from the boss, Budwei smiled and looked at him.

"You said that the information extracted from that magician's mind indicated that most of the people on this island had been manipulated by one of the magicians, right?"

Previously, Accelerator had extracted the corresponding information from the mind of the wizard named Cinderella.

Regardless of the veracity of this information, at least we now have a baseline target.

The magicians of the "Gremlin" are on this island, and one of them even possesses a magical technique that can manipulate the minds of ordinary people.

Theoretically speaking, after obtaining information about the enemy's location, their most pressing task should be to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. However, Budwei did not choose this approach.

"Well, because right now, I need to make sure I've confirmed something very basic."

"confirm…?"

Hatsune Miku couldn't help but tilt her head.
