One-way traffic

Seeing Origami Tobiichi lying in front of him, Accelerator turned around again.

it's not finished yet.

The elven girl hovering in mid-air behind him was beginning to show signs of displeasure.

"…What are you doing."

Cold and heartless.

That voice seemed to have completely abandoned everything; she stared at him mercilessly, yet without a trace of emotion.

No.

If one side can pass through, it will still be able to see some of the traffic.

The girl's eyes held an endless killing intent and rage.

"Is that all?"

"That's it...? You mean that's it?"

"To go completely berserk because of a moment of anger, to try to destroy everything around you, and even to reject the whole world... how naive of you to do that."

Just because the person in front of him was in dire straits, he went into an unimaginable rage, attempting to unleash his fury on the entire world.

If it were Accelerator from the past, he would definitely have done this.

That's why he has the right to say such things.

"Blindly fooling around is meaningless."

He glanced at Origami Tobiichi lying on the ground, then turned away.

Even if you kill this guy here, destroy everything around you, and wipe out everyone in the city, you won't change anything in the end.

"Shut up…"

"The facts cannot be changed. Even if you lack common sense, I think you should be very clear about this, right?"

"Shut up!!!"

The girl gritted her teeth and swung the giant sword down.

But Accelerator didn't even move a finger.

He watched helplessly as the massive blade, many times his own height, fell, and the white figure simply stood there calmly, without making any other reaction.

Is it because he places his hopes on his own abilities?

Perhaps that's true.

But actually, it was mostly because he was very confident.

The opponent will absolutely not be able to successfully cut off the blade.

"Tohka ahh ...

"Huh? What...?"

And so, the girl's sword came to a sudden halt.

It is located about a few centimeters in front of the forehead of one of the people.

"That voice...is that Shido?!"

"Tohka! Look up, look at the sky over here!!"

The girl looked up in astonishment, and indeed she saw this scene.

Falling straight down from the sky was Itsuka Shido, like a free-falling object.

He had no equipment at all; he had neither a parachute nor any armor.

Even Tohka herself, who lacked common sense, knew that if she fell in this state, she would definitely die.

"Shidou!"

However, she was experiencing a different kind of emotion at the moment.

That was an emotion called surprise.

The girl arrived there quickly and caught Itsuka Shido in her arms.

"Shido! Is this...is this Shido? Is this really Shido?!"

"It's me... No, don't hug me so tightly, I just fell from a height of several hundred meters!"

Even as the aftershocks of the sword damaged the ground around him, Accelerator remained unmoved, standing still with his hands in his pockets.

The girl on the other side flew directly to his side.

"how is it?"

"I'm too lazy to check trivial things, just look for yourself."

Hatsune Miku blinked, and after confirming the situation in mid-air, she fully understood the current predicament.

She couldn't help but smile with delight.

"That's wonderful. Now the child's heart has finally recovered."

"To go completely berserk just because of this level of severity is just too inadequate no matter how you look at it."

"Huh, is that so?"

Hatsune Miku looked at him with even greater surprise.

"I thought that if you were in my shoes, you would have ended up in the same situation."

"…ah?"

"If it were me, I would probably feel the same way. Hmm... When the people around me are completely in unimaginable danger, what I would think of would be absolute panic and despair."

Seeing Hatsune Miku say such things, Accelerator fell silent again.

That's because he couldn't find any words to refute it.

"Oh no, this is terrible!"

"Tohka?"

"The sword now gathered in my hand has accumulated unimaginable power, and if it is not released in time—!"

It's too early to be happy now.

The giant sword that Tohka was holding tightly was constantly spewing out purplish-black lightning from its tip. A single bolt of lightning was enough to tear the ground apart, and Tohka's hand holding the sword was trembling violently.

She could no longer control the immense power gathered by the sword.

If it doesn't find a place to release itself, it will probably go completely berserk.

"Release them? You, where do you want to release them?!"

"If it were thrown to the ground, this entire area would be blown to smithereens...!"

The girl looked anxiously at the ground, and at the same time, she caught sight of the white figure below.

Although he is indeed very powerful, can he really handle the power that is about to go berserk?

Just as Tohka was feeling confused about this.

"Tohka... and... and me..."

"what?"

She turned her head in surprise.

But Itsuka Shido in front of him wore an expression that said he didn't know what to do.

"Shido, what...are you going to do with me?"

"Kiss me...!! A kiss will solve all the problems!"

"...Kissing? What is kissing?"

"ah…?"

Even the two people below both wore expressions of deep thought.

"That's unbelievable. That girl doesn't even know what kissing is?"

While it may be a lack of common sense, it shouldn't be to such a terrifying extent, right?

However, it seems that this is not what Accelerator cares about.

"Well, well, how should I put it... our lips, touching each other or something—"

Before Itsuka Shido could finish speaking, the girl in front of him had already taken the next step and performed the action.

The two embraced tightly in mid-air.

"Waaaaah...!!"

Hatsune Miku, standing to one side, seemed to have suffered an unimaginable and fatal blow as a result.

The girl quickly covered her eyes with her hands, her cheeks flushed red.

After all, although she has considerable social experience, she is still just a sixteen-year-old girl.

Let alone kissing, this must be the first time in Hatsune Miku's life that she has ever seen someone actually kiss her in front of her.

This is what kissing is...

For example, what would it be like if it were me...?

Upon realizing this, Hatsune Miku instinctively turned her head to the other side.

but.

Standing next to him was Accelerator... who was actually watching intently?

"…I see."

The first person squinted, staring intently at the scene of the two kissing.

"It seems that's the case."

Ziga—

In an instant, the roaring thunder dissipated.

In Itsuka Shido's own perception, it seemed as if something unseen had flowed into his body.

Then, the enormous sword blade high in the sky shattered like glass.

"what?!"

"Fa, what happened?"

With both of them looking astonished, Accelerator raised his hand instead.

He then took off the white winter coat he was wearing and threw it into the air.

"Tohka! Your clothes—"

"Waaaaah! My clothes are gone!"

Just as they said, the spiritual armor that covered the girl's entire body, made of spiritual energy, completely vanished.

But what happened after that was not seen by anyone.

A gust of wind swept in, and the coat that Accelerator had thrown out beforehand floated directly onto Tohka, covering her up.

Just as this series of events came to an end.

A certain feeling deep within Accelerator and Hatsune Miku caused them to slightly raise their heads.

"The system notification...has disappeared?"

"No, feel it more carefully and take a look."

After Accelerator said that, Hatsune Miku immediately did as he was told.

She focused her spiritual energy on Itsuka Shido in front of her.

And so, the system notification, which should have disappeared completely, reappeared on the boy.

"What, what's going on...?"
