However, due to some unexpected reasons, they were forced to end up in such a place.

then.

"Senior...please, no matter what, don't leave my side!"

With cherry blossom-pink hair, the girl stood in front, holding a shield larger than her body.

Following behind her was another girl with golden eyes, dressed in contrasting colors, wearing a scarf around her neck, and with her long red hair tied up.

Countless monsters surrounded them.

This is not a mere wild beast, but a magical beast with pure magical power concentrated within its body.

Bang! The shield, which had been swung countless times, once again sent the monster flying.

But this behavior can't last much longer.

"Ha...woo..."

"Matthew!"

"I'm alright... Senior... Please, please don't leave my side...!"

The girl, known as Matthew, was nearly exhausted even after swinging her shield with all her might and sending all the monsters flying.

However, the number of monsters did not decrease.

The girl tried her best to hold the shield in front of her, and her back and hair were covered in sweat.

They had very little stamina left to continue fighting like this.

Most importantly, if I were to collapse like this...

What will happen to the predecessors behind us? That's an obvious outcome.

Bang! !

In that instant, the horde of monsters seemed to realize that their prey had almost no strength left.

They roared and swarmed forward mercilessly.

"Oh no—!!"

"Matthew...!!"

Faced with this absolute despair, the two girls were completely unable to escape it. Not only was death-like despair filling their hearts, but they were also overwhelmed by a tremendous sense of powerlessness.

Followed by.

How many times must these moments overlap to barely reach one second?

boom----! ! ! !

A natural disaster struck.

Like a direct bombardment from a satellite, it fell straight down from the sky, landing like a meteorite in the very center of the monster horde—a devastating natural disaster.

White, a color that cannot be stained even slightly by any bloodshed around it.

Under the watchful eyes of the two girls, a person dressed in modern clothes, with hands in pockets, white hair and red eyes, landed in the very center of the arena.

"what…!"

"Someone's here... Senior, hide!"

Matthew quickly shielded the girl behind him, who was both his Master and his senior, and just then—

Another figure also descended from the sky.

"Hatsune, protect them with a defensive barrier."

"Roger that!"

A beautiful and adorable girl with bright blue twin tails, as dazzling as a princess.

Under their astonished gazes, she waved her wand and chanted a few words that sounded like lyrics. Then, a blue and white transparent cube completely enveloped the three of them.

Only that white-haired, red-eyed figure remained outside.

The number of monsters reached dozens or more... a horde of monsters that seemed poised to engulf the entire town.

Faced with such a terrifying situation.

That human—didn't even take his hand out of his pocket.

He simply and casually placed his right foot on the ground.

—And so, the devastating blow came.

The devastating impact, with a radius of several kilometers, mercilessly tore everything in its path.

In less than a fraction of a second after the attack, the bodies of those monsters were torn to shreds like dust, and the ground collapsed and churned up due to the excessive impact, causing the shockwaves generated around them to mercilessly envelop the surrounding area.

However, the three girls behind them were all protected by the blue and white cube-shaped barrier.

After everything was over, only the white-haired figure stood alone in the center of the devastated scene.

"That's so boring."

Standing atop the monster, now reduced to a single head, he spoke calmly.

"Compared to quantity, quality should be the focus. This level is not even up to the standard of practice."

"This is unbearable, you bastard."

Compared to these magical beasts, this being—is more like a real monster.

"Ooh...ha..."

"Senior—! Are you alright?!"

The girl with the shield quickly called out to the girl behind her.

"It's alright. The defensive barrier just now completely blocked that impact."

"Ah...that's true, but as expected..."

The girl with long red hair shook her head, looking ahead with a hint of lingering fear.

—An area with a radius of several kilometers was almost entirely destroyed.

However, it cannot be said that it was completely destroyed; at least the original landscape can still be discerned.

Standing on that land that resembled a true ruin was the white-haired figure who had descended directly from before.

"What was that...? The level of attack just now was simply too extraordinary!"

Even though the girl had seen countless situations before, she still couldn't let go of what had just happened.

"He actually wiped out so many magical beasts with just one strike?!"

—This time it's other people's voices.

It wasn't the voices of young girls, but the voices of men.

"Are you kidding me...?! Monsters of that size, one by one, or taking them out quickly would be fine, but in an instant... an area of ​​several kilometers being destroyed or something...?"

The other person's voice was filled with disbelief, but... that wasn't all that Accelerator cared about.

He turned around and looked at the two women behind Hatsune Miku.

Then, they slowly approached.

"Well--!"

"Matthew, Fujimaru! Watch out! The person who caused all this... is approaching you!"

"Even if the doctor didn't say it, we've already seen it—!!"

The two stood close together, and no matter how you looked at them, their expressions and actions showed that they were extremely wary of Yifang Tongxing.

"Um, please don't be too afraid, you two..."

Seeing that this might lead to misunderstandings, Hatsune Miku quickly stood between them.

"We are not your enemies! Um, the attack just now did seem to have a wider range, but that was only done by this person to eliminate those monsters and ensure your safety. It really wasn't an act of malice!"

"..."

"Please believe us, both of you. Although we do possess such power, we truly have no ill intentions towards you. We simply wanted to help because we saw injustice on the road!"

After hearing what the cute girl in front of them said, the two of them finally relaxed their stiff posture.

However, it seems that Hatsune Miku's explanations are better than Accelerator speaking up himself.

"My name is Hatsune Miku, and this guy over here... just call him Accelerator."

After a few seconds of silence, Hatsune Miku, seeing that they were in a calm state, continued to explain.

"The two of us, well... we just happened to witness that scene while passing by this place."

"So...they really don't seem to have any ill intentions, senior?"

"Ah... I think that makes sense..."

The two girls blinked.

At least, there was absolutely no trace of malice emanating from the girl in front of me who called herself Hatsune Miku.

Another person... seems to be called Accelerator?

What a strange name… no, it doesn’t even sound like a person’s name, it’s more like… a code name…

Of course, no one said such a thing out loud. Putting aside the fact that such words are impolite, just considering what the other party just showed—that a single stomp was enough to instantly kill all the magical beasts around and even affect the land within a radius of several kilometers—it was absolutely not advisable to provoke the other party.

…but.

Although this person looks aggressive and intimidating, he doesn't seem to have any hostile intentions.

Thinking of this, they gradually relaxed and let go of their inhibitions.

"that…"

After rethinking things, the girls finally realized the inappropriateness of their actions.

"I'm sorry, but even though you two saved us from the monster attack just now, we've been treating you with such hostility..."

"It's okay... We understand your reasons to some extent, so don't worry about it too much~"

Hatsune Miku smiled gently, her hands behind her back, her light tiptoeing and smile further endearing her to the two men.

I have a feeling that this girl is really gentle and cute.

"I apologize again for what happened earlier. Um, my name is Matthew, and this gentleman..."

"I am Fujimaru Ritsuka. I share the same opinion as Matthew. I am truly sorry for showing such hostility towards you just now!"

Both girls responded to them with apologies.

Hatsune Miku, of course, smiled and told them to stand up straight, while Accelerator remained completely silent.

His words were merely an observation of something.

"Besides the two of you, there should be other guys here, right?"

"—Huh?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Matthew were both stunned for a moment.

"Um... are you talking about Dr. Roman...?"

The two couldn't help but be surprised. It was probably on Fujimaru Ritsuka's wrist; there was indeed something like a bracelet there.

It is a device used for communication.

On the other end of the communication device was the very Dr. Roman she had mentioned.

but.

"I'm not referring to the kind of guy who monitors everything from behind the scenes."

"—Huh?"

Not... Dr. Roman?

For a moment, the two of them were momentarily dazed, and then—
