Her beauty is almost indescribable; it has reached a whole new level.

It's impossible for anyone to refuse her because of this.

and so.

"So, you're just a boring jerk hiding in the back playing hide-and-seek?"

—The number one in Academy City, he didn't even notice this kind of beauty, and bluntly said it in vulgar language.

"After all this fuss, he's still just a brat... Enough already, stop this now, you bastard."

He curled his lip in utter displeasure, his eyes revealing a powerful gaze that was both calm and extremely oppressive.

Even the girl in front of him couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

She blinked and checked the person in front of her again.

"Don't you feel anything about this atmosphere at all...?"

"Huh? Are you out of your mind?"

Accelerator once again ignored the beautiful atmosphere.

"I don't care if you're a woman or a brat, don't even think about trying to seduce me with that kind of boring bullshit. What meaning would that stuff have for me?"

In other words.

Regardless of whether the woman he is facing is as beautiful as an angel or as stunning as a woman who could topple kingdoms.

This white-haired, red-eyed guy, from the very beginning.

There wouldn't be the slightest reaction whatsoever.

All he cares about are the concepts of being able to fight and not being able to fight.

No matter what kind of girl or beauty she is, she holds absolutely no allure for Accelerator.

In other words, it's roughly like this:

Women will only slow me down in a fight.

Rather than things like whether or not he's attracted to women, this guy cares more about how to make moves and how to fight...

"You human..."

Even the elegant and dignified young woman was speechless and trembled with disbelief.

"He's really someone you can't like at all..."

That's just how it is.

No matter how stunningly beautiful the girl in front of him was, it was utterly meaningless to Accelerator.

He looked at the other person calmly and spoke his mind directly.

"That ridiculous fake moon in the sky, you're the one who made it, aren't you, you bastard?"

"Oh dear, you didn't even say your name before jumping straight into the conversation...?"

"Who cares? I have no interest in following those boring, bullshit arguments. Anyway, sooner or later we'll just have to fight to solve the problem."

This is a way of speaking that I changed after I had been in Gensokyo for a while and realized that normal communication with the people here would not work no matter what.

In other words, we'll stop with the useless chatter and get straight to the point.

The girl in front of him didn't seem to intend to hide the answer to this question.

“That’s right.”

She showed no fear and looked easily at the humans in front of her.

"This moon is indeed an illusion we created... to be precise, it's a scene created by Eirin's secret technique."

Accelerator caught the information in the words.

The woman also mentioned a name called 'Yonglin'.

"It also implies accomplices, doesn't it?"

"Rather than being accomplices, it would be more accurate to say that this entire plan was prepared by Eirin herself... However, the main purpose of this plan was, as expected, to be implemented for my benefit."

Accelerator narrowed his eyes slightly, pondering the meaning behind the woman's words.

But he soon stopped thinking about it.

"Is that so? These words are what you're referring to regarding your reasons for taking action, aren't they?"

"Do you want to hear it? Do you want to know about the backgrounds of me and Eirin, and everyone else in this Eientei?"

She spoke in a manner that sounded like an invitation.

But the first person clicked their tongue in disbelief.

"When did I ever say I wanted to ask you such boring questions?"

"…Huh?"

"I have absolutely no interest in you or the past of this place. What exactly caused this anomaly? What reason do you have for doing all this? Do you really think I care about these utterly boring things? What do you have to do with me?"

These words surprised the girl in front of him slightly.

Accelerator straightened up and pulled his hands out of his pockets.

A cold, ruthless smile appeared on that pale face.

"I don't care what your reasons are for taking action. Anyway, as long as we resolve this issue, everything will be fine, right?"

Get straight to the point, without any unnecessary delays.

Accelerator doesn't care about the enemy's background or the intelligence situation. Once he has confirmed his objective, he won't engage in any unnecessary small talk or greetings.

Any obstacle in my way will be crushed to dust.

What he was practicing was simply this easy-to-understand principle.

"It's incredible."

The woman in front of him was not frightened by this.

Although she was initially surprised by Accelerator's actions, after carefully observing him, she smiled knowingly.

"Whether it's your style and methods or your aura, you human are quite remarkable."

"what?"

"What? Can't you notice? The chaos and the divine aura that's gradually becoming more and more intense within you are..."

…What kind of bullshit divine aura is this?

Accelerator, who had heard this assessment countless times before, was not surprised by it; however, he began to ponder it deeply.

Because she just said that the divine aura surrounding her was gradually becoming stronger and stronger.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing for him?

"However, no matter what the situation is, your ultimate goal in coming here is to sabotage our plans, isn't it?"

Suddenly, the atmosphere changed.

Accelerator noticed the change in atmosphere, but he didn't become nervous.

"Ha, so the fight's about to start?"

He has followed this mindset from the very beginning.

Compared to tedious and complicated conversations, the purest form of power struggle is indeed the best way to resolve the problems between these people.

However, just as Accelerator was about to take the first step...

The scene before them then became distorted.

"The one who will fight you is not me, by the way."

For an instant.

The scene, like dust settling, shattered the entire picture.

Bang!! Right before his eyes, a dark blue arrow of light shot out in his direction.

Accelerator's body was struck by the attack in an instant.

"Princess!"

The bedroom that once belonged to the girl was shattered into pieces.

Instead, a space that resembles an illusion was created.

Space itself is like the beautiful space that is like a galaxy winding around you, on the way between the ground and the moon.

And standing in that space is a towering figure.

The robe was red and blue, resembling a Taoist robe, but above her long silver hair stood a tall figure wearing a red and white nurse's cap.

She held a bow and arrows in her hands, and there was no doubt that the attack just now was launched by her.

Her priority was to ensure the girl's safety.

"Are you alright? I'm truly unqualified... Please forgive me, Tei, Reisen, and the others for failing to keep a close watch on outsiders, allowing some to slip into Your Highness's room—"

"It's okay, Eirin. I knew you would come here."

The two women looked at each other, their eyes revealing a deep and tender affection.

It's like a bond that has lasted for thousands of years.

Snap! But immediately, this wonderful atmosphere was shattered.

"Hey, don't just ignore the people who are still here."

The dust and smoke that was stirred up then dispersed.

Also standing above that star-like space is an extreme white that seems to make all the surrounding scenery fade away.

His scarlet eyes stared intently in their direction.

In that pale palm, the arrow of light that had just been shot was held in his hand.

He casually crushed the arrow.

The arrow fragments, those eerie blue light particles, scattered in all directions like shards of glass.

"It seems there's no way to solve this so easily."

“…Princess, please leave it to me.”

The nurse woman, holding a bow and arrow, walked directly to the front. She then raised her hand, causing the girl behind her to disappear into the void.

"Please retreat to your room for now. For a character like this, the princess's power is not yet needed!"

"Okay, I understand. I'll leave this to you then."

Only after confirming that the other person had left did the woman look directly at the person in front of her.

A white figure, a blue and red figure.

The two figures faced off against each other in the vast starry sky.

"So, according to that guy's story, you must be the so-called 'Eirin'?"

Eirin Yagokoro.

Naturally, that was the name that belonged to this woman.

She calmly looked at the human before her, a hint of confusion appearing in her deep blue eyes.

"May I ask who you are?"

"It's nothing, just a bored guy who happened to be passing by and wanted to take care of some business. Just call me Accelerator."

"Accelerator... It doesn't sound like an Eastern name, but it doesn't sound like a Western name either."

"Is it okay to do that kind of thing either way?"

He opened his arms wide, as if to embrace the starry sky.

"I imagine you came here not just to see your master off, but also because you wanted to."
