The difference is that it is pure white, symbolizing protective wings.

"I'm going in, hero! With these hands that can only destroy, you'd better do everything in your power to save the people you want to save!"

"Shut up—!!"

Liancha, who could barely maintain an upright posture, sprinted straight ahead.

However, Touma Kamijou caught a glimpse of something in that instant.

Originally, as a cyborg, Rencha was able to subtly control her facial expressions, so she wouldn't be caught on camera for various details.

But this time, his own collapse exposed his true colors.

and so--

'...Sensing premonitions, right?'

Accelerator looked at Touma Kamijou, watching him dodge Rensha's supersonic pursuit head-on.

then.

The spiky-haired high school student, swinging his right fist, knocked the cyborg girl away head-on.

--thump.

The sound of it landing followed.

Only Touma Kamijou stood there, panting heavily, staring at the spot.

"why."

Meanwhile, Kakine Teitoku couldn't help but ask a question.

"Why aren't you going to help him? If you help, it should be resolved quickly, right?"

"There's no need for that. This isn't my home turf anyway."

And—the first one also turned his head in the same way.

"Besides, if you're going to say you didn't help, weren't you just standing there watching the whole time?"

"…snort."

Kakine Teitoku gave a disdainful laugh and turned around.

"I was just engrossed in watching."

"You're just making this up, damn it."

The cyborg Liancha collapsed completely onto the ground before him.

The only ones still standing here are these three people in front of us.

Chapter 543 The Idol's Job is an Interview

ended.

The rampage that occurred inside this building has finally come to an end.

The cyborg named Rencha has been completely defeated by Touma Kamijou. Her body seems to have reached its limit and was destroyed. At the same time, it was also discovered that the mechanical heart inside exploded in an instant.

The specifics are unclear, but at least one thing is certain: the investigation won't end like this.

Liancha's entire body is a modified mechanical body composed of various high-precision parts. The only part that can be considered human is the hypothalamus.

As long as the hypothalamus is preserved, Liancha's consciousness can also be preserved, so she cannot be considered dead.

However, that super mechanical body, created with a small portion of Academy City's funds, is probably very difficult to recreate.

Someone will clean up the mess afterwards. After all, it's a body that Academy City spent a lot of money to create, and it can't just be wasted like this.

But all of that has nothing to do with Accelerator anymore.

After leaving the high-rise building called "Encyclopedia of the World," the group went directly to a deserted street nearby.

"How's the situation with Fremia?"

"She's been sent to where she's supposed to go, and that guy named Liancha has been destroyed, so there shouldn't be anything that can hurt her anymore."

"I see..."

Kamijou Touma patted his dusty clothes.

Even though he was already injured like that, he was still thinking about the safety of others.

"I really don't know what your body is made of."

"Huh? It's okay, don't let my appearance fool you, I'm not actually seriously injured!"

"After fighting a monster that can use the power of a level 5 superpower user, all you say is this? I don't know whether to say you're carefree or what."

Kakine Teitoku sighed.

"However, there's no need to deal with the rest of the matter; it's no longer my domain."

"Don't worry, this kind of thing happens every day."

On ordinary days… Kakine Teitoku looked at him meaningfully.

That means this guy usually spends a lot of time on things like this.

It's practically a miracle that I've lived this long and healthy.

"Oh, right, speaking of which..."

"what happened?"

"Where did Accelerator go...? Do you know?"

Kamijou Touma looked around, but still couldn't find the person in first place.

In fact, this is how it was after leaving the encyclopedia. Although Kakine Teitoku had been following him all the way, Accelerator seemed to have disappeared since then.

"That guy doesn't need to be worried about."

"what?"

Kamijou Touma was taken aback, but Kakine Teitoku simply spoke calmly.

"According to him, this incident is not his home turf, so there is no need for him to stay here."

"Besides... that bastard's personality has always been like this."

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

The 13th School District quickly deployed security personnel to conduct various investigations inside the building.

Kakine Teitoku and that spiky-haired guy have already left that area, and the kid who said he would escort them is now completely safe.

In that case, none of this has anything to do with Accelerator.

And now, he is sitting alone in Nateus, traveling in a certain direction.

"This is incredibly troublesome."

Having just resolved the human resources issue, I've suddenly received new information.

Earlier, Hatsune Miku was about to tell him something, but she didn't have time to finish.

After learning about this over the phone, he became even less inclined to go.

"The higher-ups want you to go directly to VOCALOID Company as a representative of the Level 5 esper idol group to discuss matters with the relevant members."

"Why does it have to be me? Can't someone else handle this kind of mess?"

"Because you are the first one, it is most appropriate to choose you as the person to hand over the reins... Although I know this is not very appealing to you, this is, after all, an important meeting for both places. It is not only about Academy City, but also about VOCALOID Corporation and the reputation of that songstress."

After being informed of these troubles by his agent, Accelerator had no choice but to embark on a journey to Valve.

"A meeting... The people above must be out of their minds to send someone like me to a meeting with others?"

It's like asking a fierce-looking assassin to do business with someone. Although he is an idol, it's already a miracle if a stranger doesn't faint from fright when they meet him, given his appearance.

Before long, he arrived at the company's entrance.

Through the front window, you can see a massive building, almost taller than all the surrounding skyscrapers, standing right in front of you.

As a branch of a world-class idol company in Japan, it naturally attracts many visitors.

The visit is basically limited to a specific day each year, and apart from that, no one who has any connection with the idol is allowed to enter the club.

Of course, in reality, this is simply the idol building from Hatsune Miku's original world being directly moved to Academy City.

He transformed the car back into a scythe and put it away where no one could see him, then walked directly into the building.

"Please show your identification! Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to approach the clubhouse building."

"Can't you tell from my face?"

When the gatekeeper in charge of guarding the area finally saw Yifang Tongxing's face clearly, he was immediately startled.

"Ah... I'm so sorry! Of course you can come in, Mr. Accelerator. Please come this way!"

After the first person left, the two gatekeepers finally came to their senses and even involuntarily shivered.

Although I had heard that all seven Level 5 superpowered individuals had become idols, this was the first time I had ever seen the first one of them.

Although I had seen that face on the posters many times, seeing it in person was a completely different experience.

'That incredibly imposing expression…is that really the expression of an idol…?'

Of course, no one would dare say such a thing to his face.

When he entered the building, the staff around him looked at him with shocked expressions.

In terms of the history of this world, I probably haven't been here more than a few times.

For these people, this was probably the first time they had actually seen their idol, the number one Level 5 esper, come to this company building.

"That... is Mr. Accelerator, right?"

"Where's the guy who wanted me to come for talks?"

The staff member in front of him froze upon hearing Accelerator speak like that.

'How terrifying…! This tone of voice is truly something else; if I were facing that person, the pressure would be overwhelming!'

"Well, actually... the person you're going to meet next isn't from our VOCALOID company."

"what?"

Seeing Accelerator's confused expression, the staff immediately gave him directions.

Under the incredibly shocked gazes of those around them, the two walked directly into the elevator next to them.

just.

No one noticed a certain point.

Just as the building's automatic doors were about to close, a tiny shadow flew in unnoticed.

It was a deep red paper airplane.

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

"I apologize for keeping you waiting. The person you will be meeting next is actually the head of an overseas company."

The elevator is still a short distance from reaching the top floor.

During this time, the staff first began to explain various situations to the driver.

"That person in charge has always been a difficult figure for our company, and this time, because of the relationship between VOCALOID Club and Academy City, his attitude towards us... seems to have become even worse."

"That guy's target is Academy City, right?"

Before the staff could react, Accelerator had already announced the result.

"Yes... that person in charge seems to harbor deep hostility towards Academy City, which could very well cause even greater trouble for our talks..."

"How boring. You called me here for something so trivial? Such a big, world-class company, couldn't you have considered having someone else in charge before we talked?"

"Then... there are even more hidden stories about the company itself."

Upon hearing that there was more to it, Accelerator decided not to dwell on it any longer.

"I have no interest in getting involved in the messy world of idols. This kind of childish confrontation is ridiculously laughable. I'm only responsible for this one meeting with that guy."

"Okay... thank you so much for your help!"
