One-way traffic

"Just as we expected, no... it will exceed that intensity even further."

After saying that, Yi threw all the black residue in her hand onto the table.

The red-haired girl instinctively frowned.

"You broke it after only using it a few times?"

"This thing is not handy at all. In fact, using it to fight is more like limiting my power. I can achieve a strength that is many times greater than this thing with just one finger."

"Well, in the end, they're all just temporary items that were just grabbed at random, so we can't really pursue that much quality level."

Since the other party had said so, Yi stopped looking at the black object in front of her.

The purple-haired girl in a formal dress, sitting at the end of the corridor, turned her gaze to him.

"What's the situation?"

"He has become very strong."

However, Yi kept shaking her head.

"But it's still not ruthless enough."

"With just this much information, it's impossible to look directly at that kind of existence."

"...Does that mean we still need to continue training?"

"No, I think we don't have much time left to wait."

The purple-haired girl, chuckling softly, sat up from the chair.

"After that, we should take concrete action."

"Huh? So fast?"

"Things are not quite as planned. It seems that something unpredictable is starting to interfere with us... Just in case, we must act quickly."

Several people looked at each other.

"...Then it will come soon."

"That was the most crucial day for Accelerator."

Chapter 324 The Reason for Taking the Road

And so, everything came to a complete end.

While Accelerator and the young man named Yi were fighting each other for a while, Touma and the others had already resolved all the issues.

The Hawaiian Islands were still the same "Gremlin" girl known as Salonia, who was ultimately defeated by the attack of that mysterious right hand.

The process may have been incredibly arduous for that spiky-haired young man, but in the end, he still achieved a positive result.

The US president, Robert Kaccher, also seemed to want to issue a statement thanking them, but regardless of what others thought, Accelerator himself absolutely did not want to get involved.

After that, the group met up directly on the front street of the Hawaiian Islands area.

However, one thing surprised him greatly.

"…ah?"

There was only one figure in front of them.

That's Hatsune Miku, who you can tell at a glance has been standing there for a long time.

Accelerator looked around but couldn't see anyone else. Neither Buddy, Touma Kamijou, nor Misaka Mikoto, except for Hatsune Miku, were there.

He gradually sensed something was amiss.

"What exactly happened?"

"About this... actually, I'm not too sure either."

"Weren't you always by those guys' side? You should be able to get the relevant information from that brat named Budwei, right?"

"No... In fact, the child named Badwe left a long time ago."

Hatsune Miku, equally surprised, could only recount her preconceived notions.

"Although this is just my personal speculation, I'm afraid something very important must have happened to that boy named Budwei."

So it seems that Accelerator was also somewhat aware of a similar situation.

The first issue is intelligence.

Why is it that Budwei, as the opposing side, is always able to obtain information about the "Gremlin" guys in the shortest amount of time?

Then, after this incident was completely over, why did they suddenly disappear without a trace?

Thinking this, Accelerator looked down at his waist and took out his phone.

There was no phone number for Budweiser, but there was another person's number on it.

It belongs to that spiky-haired high school student who once defeated him.

After a few seconds of silence, he placed his hand on the call button.

"…reject?"

The message coming from the other end was a rejected communication message.

Accelerator couldn't help but frown. It wasn't a problem with the communication signal; the other party had hung up the phone on their own initiative.

Kamijou Touma was also avoiding him.

Everything started to become incomprehensible, and even where these people were headed was completely unclear.

"What should we do... Yifang, should we continue the investigation?"

"It's none of my business."

The first one clicked his tongue and said it.

"No matter what happens next, it's no longer our responsibility. Otherwise, these guys wouldn't be deliberately avoiding us."

"Furthermore, although we don't know the specifics, that Level 0 is clearly avoiding us. But when it comes to him, it's definitely a sign that he's once again choosing to handle this matter on his own."

I'm afraid that's how they've always been.

After resolving one crisis, a completely new one arises, and this cycle repeats itself endlessly, much like a savior machine.

Accelerator seemed slightly annoyed, but didn't continue speaking.

"What happened after that is none of our business."

"Is this... really okay...?"

"Tsk, instead of worrying about this stuff, we should be more concerned about tonight's problems."

It's probably around 5 p.m. now.

When his manager informed him that he needed to hold his second concert in the Hawaiian Islands during that period, it had only been almost a full day, or even half a day, since then.

Under such circumstances, it would be extremely difficult to organize a proper live performance.

Even the number one idol in Academy City would probably have a headache because of this.

"Why would Aleister deliberately schedule a concert on such a horrible day? Is he trying to mess with me...?"

As Accelerator pondered all of this, he failed to notice Hatsune Miku quietly gazing at him from beside him.

The other person had a look of great surprise on their face.

"This is really unexpected..."

"what?"

Upon hearing Hatsune Miku's questioning voice beside him, Accelerator turned around.

But the girl simply looked at him with a pure smile.

With a deeply moved smile.

"It's nothing... it's just that, right now, the changes on one side are really huge..."

"Stop spouting nonsense... Think more about the important things. I don't want to get involved in this absurd stuff anymore."

Perhaps even Accelerator himself didn't notice.

He initially disliked this situation with idols, but now he is slowly beginning to accept it.

Upon realizing this, Hatsune Miku revealed a genuine smile of joy.

————————————————————————————————————

His second live performance has come to an end.

The overall situation was quite good, especially for a new idol like Accelerator. The success of his first concert could be attributed to the popularity of Hatsune Miku at the time, but this time, he was able to achieve such a high level of popularity on his own, indicating that his future is very bright.

Even so, the first one didn't seem to care much about it.

The next day, the two completed the procedures to leave the Hawaiian Islands and did not stay there for long. Since they could not contact Budweiser and Touma Kamijou, there was no need to keep trying to go inside.

Ultimately, it was all their own business. In such an event, they were the only ones in control.

After returning to Academy City, the two spent the next two days in a very calm state. During these two days, there were instances where Last Order repeatedly begged Accelerator to go to the Hawaiian Islands again, and there were also instances where the extra character couldn't help but mock Accelerator after watching his second live performance, saying that he was "becoming more and more like an ambassador".

In any case, they have now embarked on a completely new path.

"That's almost it."

"Hmm, three more minutes."

The time is when there are only three minutes left until midnight.

A girl with light blue twin tails quietly entered someone's room.

At this point, whether it's Last Order or Yomikawa Aiho, they've basically all fallen asleep. Even the extra characters only act after being confirmed.

Of course, this series of actions was not for any shady business that could only be done late at night.

Hatsune Miku, dressed in normal attire, stands in the room.

What appeared in front of the two was a transparent screen.

That's the system's countdown.

The time to travel to the next world is fast approaching.

"If you're ready, hurry up."

She was still wearing that same white winter coat with gray and white striped inner lining.

Accelerator shrugged indifferently; he was basically used to this kind of life.

but.

"...one side."

Suddenly, the girl standing in front of him spoke.

Her tone seemed somewhat different from usual.

"How long are we going to keep doing this...?"

"..."

"You see, it's always been like this..."

The girl looked at the other person who was standing silently in place and couldn't help but speak.

"We are always moving towards new worlds, and then... the level of danger in each world becomes more and more different."

"How long will this kind of life continue...?"

From the very beginning.

At that time, Accelerator simply wanted to return to his original world and to be with Last Order.

Then, in that kind of life, he gradually encountered the girl in front of him and experienced all sorts of things that he himself found very fantastical.

But now, will this kind of life ever end?

Will it always be like this, forever moving towards an infinitely vast new world?

Or.

—He will encounter unimaginable dangers in a world that even he cannot predict.
