"Hey."

He looked directly at the girl in front of him.

"Since you know about the Nightmare, can you also know about the other guy?"

"another…?"

"Yes, a shadow that is so small that you can't even see its face clearly, like a phantom."

phantom…?

Kotori Itsuka and Reine Murasame both stared in disbelief.

"You, you mean..."

“There should be CCTV footage near my residence. If you check the footage, you should be able to find the records from that time.”

The two exchanged a glance, and then quickly ordered the people inside the spaceship to take control.

Soon after, the content of that day appeared on the screen.

It's a record of Accelerator's battle with that pixelated figure.

"This is…!"

"Hmph... The footage from back then is still there? It'll be troublesome if the maintenance crew sees it. You'll have to deal with the footage yourselves afterward."

Almost all of the content was seen by Kotori Itsuka and Reine Murasame, except for the part about the mysterious girl that Accelerator saw at the end, which seemed to be a scene that only he could see at that time.

However, he did not reveal this information.

"If it's an elf, you should have heard of it, right? Is there any record of this guy?"

"No...not at all. I've never seen such a spirit in either the information records or my memories."

"...Is this a new type that has appeared for the first time?"

Kotori Itsuka frowned, staring intently at the screen.

"What's wrong, Commander?"

"No... it's just that I always feel like that pixelated guy is a little bit bothering me..."

"Of course, it's not just you, all of us are very interested in this mysterious existence."

Murasame Reine responded to her, while also looking at Accelerator and Hatsune Miku.

"As for the two of you, I hope you will pay more attention to your surroundings in the future. Based on what you just said, I don't think Nightmare will be completely destroyed. As for that mosaic-like existence... let's just call it Phantom for now."

"In short, both the Phantom and the Nightmare seem to be paying special attention to you. Even though you possess superhuman strength, you must still be careful about your safety in your daily lives."

"Um...we'll keep an eye on it. Thank you, Ms. Reine."

With Hatsune Miku's final thank you, the intelligence gathering on the Fraxinus was finally over.

In this way, both of them had a complete understanding of the information, whether clear or unclear, and had established a good relationship with the organization called Ratatoskr.

After figuring everything out, Hatsune Miku felt much more relaxed.

"Wow... I never imagined this world was so complicated."

"..."

While Hatsune Miku seemed very relaxed, the person standing next to her did not.

Accelerator raised an eyebrow slightly.

He stood there, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Huh? What's wrong with you, Yifang...?"

"…No."

The first one scanned the entire room again with his eyes.

In the end, that's all I said.

"It's nothing serious."

He turned around and left without saying a word.

Even Hatsune Miku stood there in surprise, as did Kotori Itsuka and the other staff members around her.

No.

Murasame Reine turned her gaze to him.

As she gazed at his receding figure, a unique charm flashed in her eyes.

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

7:15 p.m.

Two people emerged from the alleyways of the street, having arrived directly on the ground using the Fraxinus teleportation device.

"I never imagined that this world would contain so much content."

"Just so-so."

"Huh? Is that so? I think it will take quite a while to understand it."

Accelerator turned his head away indifferently, and the two walked together on the street.

It's already so late.

"Ah...it seems we're out of food. Shall we go buy some?"

"If you want to go, you can go by yourself. I have things to take care of."

"I knew you'd say that... Okay, okay, I'll go by myself."

And so Hatsune Miku walked straight towards the supermarket.

After watching her leave completely, Accelerator also headed back to the house.

Meanwhile, he kept thinking about what had just happened.

There's not much to say about that intelligence; it's basically exactly what he guessed.

There was just one thing that bothered him.

"What exactly is that Phantom?"

It would be rather strange to call him an elf.

Moreover, what exactly was that white crystal that it intended to give Hatsune Miku back then?

I should have seized the opportunity to study it back then.

"What a hassle... I'll just buy a can of coffee on the way back."

He scratched his head and walked straight to the vending machine not far away.

But at the same time.

A few specks appeared on the ground at his feet.

"…What?"

Accelerator looked up in surprise.

At the same time, the people around started shouting and running, and the sky became even more gloomy.

It's raining.

And it was heavy rain.

He couldn't help but click his tongue.

The rain didn't bother him much with his reflection activated, but it still made him even more irritable.

Hatsune Miku's side should also have a way to solve this problem.

Thinking he could buy a cup of coffee as soon as possible, he took another step forward.

pat.

Strange noises came from not far away.

But when he turned his head to look, he saw an even stranger scene.

On the left side of the road that Accelerator is walking on is a shrine.

In front of that shrine, there was a figure lying on the ground.

A petite girl dressed in a green, rabbit-like outfit.

"What is that thing? A lost brat?"

But just as he was thinking this, the sensation he felt from the other person made him give up the idea.

It felt out of place.

A sense of familiarity in terms of energy.

It's the same feeling as that elf wielding a giant sword.

Chapter 347 The Two Sides' Strange Encounters

It suddenly started raining.

The weather forecast made no mention of this, causing almost everyone on the street to flee in panic, rushing to nearby convenience stores to buy umbrellas, while a small number of people chose to wait in nearby shops until the rain stopped.

This was a completely unexpected phenomenon for everyone.

But that's not something Accelerator cares about.

The sudden appearance of this petite girl was even more unexpected than anything else.

What exactly happened?

Looking at the girl in front of him, whose face seemed to be pressed against the ground, Accelerator slumped his shoulders helplessly.

Could it be that one of the kids from the neighborhood who was out playing tripped and fell on the roadside?

This is really troublesome; this scene actually reminded him of what happened with that brat back then.

After recalling the things about the Last Order that were relevant to him, Accelerator shook his head and prepared to walk towards the girl.

It's only the first step.

An unusual sense of déjà vu arose directly from the depths of his heart.

"This feeling...?"

It was a slight, heavy feeling in my chest, as if it were being pressed down.

This is an additional effect of the black wings on Accelerator; it seems that they produce such a peculiar reaction when encountering mysterious forces that do not belong to the realm of science.

He also relied on this to determine whether the person in front of him was an ordinary person.

So the current outcome can be considered quite clear.

In other words, the little devil lying in front of him was not an ordinary person at all.

No.

Judging from the flamboyant clothes and hat, and the energy fluctuations similar to those of the sword-wielding girl we encountered before.

'This guy... too?'

He slowly turned his gaze to the girl in front of him.

Like the girl in purple from before... they are both beings called elves?

In that case.

If we confront her directly, we might be able to uncover some other things.

Accelerator thought to himself.

At the same time, he did indeed walk towards the girl.

At that moment, the green figure lying on the ground finally reacted.

thump.

She quickly sat up straight from the ground, only to see Accelerator slowly walking towards her.
