And then there's Hatsune Miku, who also looks completely bewildered and unsure of what to say.

What kind of relationship do these three people have with that guy?

"Hatsune."

"Ah, yes, I am."

"I've changed my clothes and am ready to leave."

After saying that in front of everyone, Hatsune Miku went straight back to her room to change.

But such a statement also attracted the attention of others.

"...Are you planning to leave?"

The petite figure no longer cared about the game console in her hand.

The final work, a petite girl with an antenna-like ahoge (cowlick) on her head, slowly approached Accelerator.

His face was full of worry.

"No need to worry, it's just taking this guy along to handle some things."

"So, are those girls around you... also going with us?" Misaka asked somewhat cautiously.

Why use the word "be wary"?

Accelerator suppressed his urge to complain, but continued to fabricate various lies.

"They were just colleagues who went with me; they were probably just temporary workers in this situation."

"Oh? So these days, temporary workers are all cute girls. Speaking of which, Misaka just noticed that these people's clothes are the legendary cosplay, right? Is this their own idea, or did you force them...?"

Before the extra character could say a few words, he flicked an orange off the table and shoved it into her mouth.

That's true... The extra chapters also caught Yoshikawa's attention.

She began to thoughtfully examine the three girls in front of her.

"...Is he/she your friend?"

"That's it for now."

"This is quite a rare sight. I also want to ask, why are they all cute girls?"

"Then you'd better ask fewer questions."

"Oh dear, she's shy."

"I'm too lazy to deal with you anymore..."

After a series of conversations, Yoshikawa seemed to have come to understand something.

She then exchanged glances with the three girls in front of her who had already introduced themselves.

"oops…?"

Then they discovered something unusual.

For example—Alice, who was reluctant to look at herself, but who was secretly staring at Accelerator when no one was paying attention.

Realizing this, Yoshikawa couldn't help but blink.

Then he whispered something to Alice in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"You... really like this person?"

"—Huh?!"

The blonde doll terrified the girl instantly.

On the other hand, the door to the back room was also opened, and Hatsune Miku, who had changed her clothes, walked out directly.

"It's about time we left."

If Accelerator were to leave as soon as possible, this boring riot would probably come to a complete end.

"Be careful, and come back as soon as possible, no matter what you're doing!" Misaka Misaka said to Accelerator with a worried tone.

"Yes... I will."

After calming Last Order down, Accelerator walked straight out the door.

It was at the very moment that it was confirmed that One-Way Pass had left.

Swah——

The extra character, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly rolled over to someone's side.

"Speak."

The extra character couldn't help but look at the girl beside him.

Blonde hair, and a face that looks as delicate as a doll.

"You seem to care a bit about that guy from the Misaka family?"

"…no…"

"Oh, let's leave the lying aside for now. Although Misaka isn't a psychoanalyst, she can see through this kind of thing at a glance. Your face is practically screaming unease, isn't it?"

The two spoke very quietly, and because of the other people talking to each other, no one could hear them.

Alice covered her mouth slightly with her hand, her expression dazed, and nodded slightly.

"Any ideas?"

"What...idea?"

"You've fallen to this point, and you don't even have a plan? No way, really?"

The extra character spoke with a mocking expression.

"Do you want to seize the opportunity and take that guy down in one fell swoop?"

"Eh…"

"Isn't that blue-haired girl cute? Misaka isn't entirely clear on their relationship, but... that girl seems to have a rather unusual connection with that first guy?"

"How... could it be..."

"That's how it is. You're getting fewer and fewer opportunities to seize, aren't you?"

That's it.

The extra character also deduced from her clothing that she was probably not from Academy City, and so—

He took a spare cell phone that no one was using from a storage basket on the side and handed it to Alice.

"Use this to contact them later. Misaka will teach you how to get closer to that guy, how about that?"

"..."

The girl stared speechlessly at the object in her hands.

Despite feeling confused and conflicted, she ultimately accepted it.

Gritting his teeth, he bowed slightly to the extra character in front of him, as if in one breath.

"Thank you."

After everyone had left, Yoshikawa returned to the living room, exhausted.

"What a tiring day... huh?"

As soon as she looked up, she saw the extra character with a mischievous grin on his face.

They even laughed so hard they couldn't help but slap the table.

"Oh dear... Extra Chapter Individual, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with your emotional processing function?"

"No...it's not that kind of thing...Puhahahahaha!!!"

Even if Yoshikawa racked his brains, he would never be able to figure out why the extra character was laughing so hard.

anyway.

For the next period of time, it will definitely be fun for the individuals in the side stories...

"Oh my... really, Misaka has searched for fun for most of her life, but none of it has been as fun as today's!"

--------------------------------

Bringing Hatsune Miku along was just a side trip.

The group walked together down the street, and this time, they also included a beautiful girl with blue hair.

"What's going on with these girls?"

"How was I supposed to know? These guys just jumped out of another world and came here on their own. I was wondering why they were in this godforsaken place."

Hatsune Miku leaned closer, looking somewhat displeased. Accelerator, of course, tried his best to avoid the topic.

"But the way they look at you seems a bit off."

"Where did you get such an absurd conclusion?"

"...Are you sure there's nothing else going on?"

"Stop talking nonsense, or do you want me to slap your ass in front of all these people?"

"Waaah! No violence!!"

Although the two were talking very quietly, the fact that Hatsune Miku was constantly around Accelerator made it clear what was going on.

Of course, Takibayashi didn't dare to say much throughout, sitting alone on the side.

Fortunately, Accelerator remained completely unconcerned.

After all, even Hatsune Miku doesn't have the slightest thought of being in a relationship.

In the mind of the first monster in Academy City, every day, 24 hours a day, he thinks about either how to fight, the process of fighting, or how to collect the corpses after the fight.

That's precisely because it revealed this point.

The Gensokyo trio behind them also realized this completely.

"Alice."

Marisa gently nudged the blonde girl next to her with her shoulder.

"The situation is dangerous! What are you going to do? No, no, I shouldn't ask that directly... I should say you need to pull yourself together!"

"I...but, that girl is already..."

From Alice's perspective, there must be a very deep bond between Hatsune Miku and Accelerator.

As a mage who has lived for a long time, I can see this kind of thing even without deliberately trying to understand it.

"That kind of thing is okay!"

Marisa, however, tore up all these preconditions without hesitation.

“Listen carefully, uh… although I saw this in Patchouli’s book, well! It says that as long as the man hasn’t officially entered into a relationship with another woman… uh, he can’t be said to have completely lost, right?”

This means Alice still has a chance.

Alice still has a chance as long as the relationship with the other person hasn't progressed to the point of complete intimacy.

Just like in a race, someone may take the lead and overtake you along the way, but that doesn't mean the other person will definitely win.

The final result is what matters most.

"But what should I do..."

Alice still couldn't figure out how to launch an attack.

The girl clenched her hands in front of her chest. What else could she do besides making dolls?

"Your cooking is very good, isn't it?"

"Hmm... but that girl might be just as good."

"Uh, you must be pretty good at housework too!"

"...Isn't it a bit too early to talk about housework now?"

"You can use magic! At least your knowledge of magic far surpasses that girl's, right?!"
