Right now, there's no basis whatsoever for researching any magical formulas, since we don't even know who the enemy is.

so.

How exactly do I plan to spend this time?

They've basically thought it all out.

"So you two are using this as an excuse to come to my house and freeload, is that it?!"

Kamijou Touma looked at the two jerks in front of him with an expression that suggested he was about to lose control.

Orelus and the Fire on the Right.

Without any warning, the two of them rushed here before Touma Kamijou finished buying groceries and went home.

"Don't look so annoyed. We were your comrades who helped you a lot during the Othinus incident..."

"That only applies to that time! I've suffered enough misery these past few days, including but not limited to being chased around by the old demon mummy!"

"Waaah, he's the man who helped you so many times, and he won't even give us a bite to eat?"

"You at least know you're the man who almost became a demon god! So stop using that smug, adorable expression to act all cute!!!"

"...Don't try to confuse my personality with yours."

In short, due to various circumstances, there were two more guests visiting Kamijou's dorm tonight.

The man who was just one step away from becoming a demon god, Eulerus.

The man who once sparked a world war, Fire on the Right.

Fortunately, because of his spell, the girl Index sitting at the same table did not immediately notice him, which somewhat avoided the chance of a conflict.

However, the opponent is nonetheless a forbidden book catalog with knowledge of 103,000 books of demonic arts stored in his mind, so he cannot be underestimated.

In any case, food is the most important thing for people.

Even a man who almost became a demon god still has to think about eating.

"I'm starting to eat—!!"

"Oh, Japanese customs are really interesting... Are we eating croquettes today?"

"Shut up and eat properly. You two came over and I had to make two more dishes. You'd better eat them before I lose my temper so I don't have to relive this memory!"

Touma Kamijou turned on the TV and ate with Ollers, Right Fire, and Index while watching the news.

This is the way the person most qualified to face off against the two demon gods has chosen to kill time tonight.

…which means going to a high school student's house to freeload a meal.

Xiangliu above.

He was covered in blood, and even his arm ached as he collapsed at the doorway.

"Are you alright, bro?! How did you get hurt like this?!"

"...I should be glad that I was only injured like this."

Kamisato Shōrū opened his eyes, which had been tightly closed.

Even his eyes were filled with blood.

"That guy, well, he's not the demon god we know at all."

"What do you mean?"

"So there's this guy who pretends to be a demon god... but he's not a demon god at all. My ideal banishment doesn't work on him either. I don't know if it's because his mindset is completely unaffected, or simply because the power difference is too great to be effective... In short, I can't beat him. No matter what, I can't do it even if I use all my strength."

This boy is the Grim Reaper who has easily annihilated even countless demons.

However, even so, they still could not defeat the being known as the God of the Demon Realm.

…No.

Or rather, if the opponent hadn't held back, from the very first move, he would have been reduced to a state of insignificance, smaller than any particle in the universe.

That was a power far beyond anything one could imagine a demon god could possess.

"Fortunately, their target isn't me at all... and mine isn't him either, so no matter what, we won't end up clashing head-on."

"Take care of your wound before you say such things! I'll go get someone!"

"Hmm... I really don't know why such a monster would appear in a place like this."

After his younger sister, the strongest fighter in the Kamisato faction—"Extinction Criminal"—left.

Before long, Kamisato Shōryū was carried into the house by the people who came.

The group of people who arrived were a string of young girls.

Inside the house, there were countless young girls.

"Tsk tsk, what kind of bullshit demon god is this! Isn't it time for our Shangli forces to show their might?"

"Hey, get your eyes open! If even Shangli can't defeat this enemy, how could we possibly win?"

"That's true... but I'm really not happy about it!"

"There's no other way, come on, Kosato, ah~"

"...Even if you pretend to be an older sister and try to feed me medicine, I won't feel a thing, Ruka."

Wherever the girl went, she could only see countless other girls.

They huddled around a room, worried about Kamisato Shoryu's condition and acting solely for his sake.

This is the "Uesato faction".

All their actions were based on the premise of Kamisato Shōrū.

"Well, the bandaging is pretty much done. The right hand itself is fine, and there's no particular danger."

"We should thank them for showing mercy."

Kamisato Shōryū tested his five fingers and, finding no problems, stood up.

The girls immediately smiled and looked at him.

"Great! Now that my precious brother is alright, it's time for me, his little sister, to get down to business!"

What are your plans now?

"Hmm~ I'll just go check out the third-ranked girl in Academy City, Misaka Mikoto."

"...People from Kamijou's faction?"

After Qu Ming said these words, the girls around her looked at her with some confusion.

Qu Ming, on the other hand, smiled broadly.

"Yes! That girl, she's said to be a close associate of Touma Kamijou, and quite famous within Touma's faction!"

"It's only famous in Academy City, right? I, a magician, have never heard of anything like 'third place in Academy City'."

"That's true. Anyway, I'm going to meet her. Hmm, in the worst-case scenario, I might tear her apart, which would be a bit embarrassing~"

"You really are... a guy with a really bad sense of humor."

Even Kamisato Shōrū himself couldn't help but sigh.

"And then what? You're not just planning to do these useless things, are you?"

"Also, if the third person gets ruined too quickly, then we can simply shift the target to the next Kamijou faction!"

Which side is it?

"Um, let me check... Hey~☆Found it!!"

Akira flipped through his notebook, which he had just written, titled "Complete Collection of Kamijou's Factional Figures!!!", and immediately found his next target.

She spoke slowly.

"Hmm~ It's him! The number one in Academy City, Accelerator-chan~"

"Huh~ No way, it's another name I've never heard of before."

What are your plans regarding this person?

"Need I say more?"

Qu Ming replied to Shang Li Xiangliu with a grin.

"Of course we should find a way to kill him!"

Boom-! ! ! !

In just a moment.

The entrance to the main gate of the Shangli faction was instantly blown away.

Everyone froze in place at that moment.

"W-what happened?! What's going on?!"

pat.

And so, under the watchful eyes of all the girls.

A figure slowly walked in.

The mere act of the other person entering the room caused an instant chill to fill the entire space, a chill that seemed capable of freezing everything.

"What's going on... this... sense of oppression...?!"

Swish——! !

The girls from the Shangli faction immediately drew their weapons, abilities, and magic.

But the visitor remained unmoved.

"You really intend to do something to that person with that name, right?"

pat.

A dark blue trench coat.

White hair.

as well as.

The Yama's Blade, capable of cleaving through everything in this world in an instant, is invincible.

"That's good."

Son of Sparta, the Azure Demon—

Virgil.

He coldly gazed at all the girls before him, and with a slight movement, picked up the Yama Blade with his finger.

"Now I don't have to worry about killing enemies anymore."

"...!!!"

That's no joke.

The joyful atmosphere that had filled the room instantly transformed into an atmosphere of death, nothingness, and impending doom.

Just one glance.

Qu Ming understood one thing.

That is, the Shangli faction has nearly several hundred mages and ability users, including herself…

Even if everyone swarmed forward and attacked the man in an instant.

Even if you bring the strongest "extermination criminal" to Ming.

They will be instantly killed in less than a nanosecond without any suspense.

This man of unknown origin, whom they had never even met, possessed an overwhelming power that, without even making a move, was enough to convince them that they had absolutely no chance of winning.

What the other person said completely caught their attention.

—The other party is targeting the name Accelerator.
