At this moment, such a voice seemed to appear directly in the mind of the person in first place.

You have nothing to do with this town... You have nothing to do with this world, and they should be completely unrelated. Even if such a small town is destroyed, it should be completely irrelevant to him, right?

That was the dragon's thought; it seemed to have directly used some kind of ability to convey these words into Accelerator's mind.

The only thing I want to express is that this town of Itomori has absolutely nothing to do with Accelerator.

He has absolutely no reason to care about any of this.

"…yes."

The monster, spewing black wings from its back, responded in a calmer tone.

"This town really has nothing to do with me, if we're talking about the past."

"—?!"

Dragons are difficult to understand.

However, Accelerator will never give it a chance to understand.

"You could never understand all of this."

He slowly stretched out his hand and placed his five fingers directly in front of the dragon's head.

"If, in any case, the future of those two people is destined to be a dead end."

—Bang! !

He instantly gripped all five fingers, plunging them completely deep into the dragon's head.

"Then I, your humble servant, will forcibly carve out a way out, a one-way...way out."

Followed by.

Under the dragon's utterly terrified gaze.

Blackwing Lair erupted.

boom! ! ! !

With a speed far exceeding dozens of times the speed of sound, an even greater force was unleashed upon the entire body of the dragon.

However, this time, it did not fly out of the atmosphere.

Accelerator's hand remained firmly gripping the guy's head.

Boom—!!! An unparalleled force struck it mercilessly from the front, and the dragon was completely unable to struggle, forced to bear the full force of the attack.

It took less than ten seconds.

All that remained in his hands was a wisp of dust slowly drifting toward the ground.

Above the sky, only the two dividing lines that are usually seen on comets remained.

Then there is no problem.

The first one flapped its black wings, allowing its body to slowly descend towards the ground.

He could see the residents of Itomori Town, near Lake Itomori, staring at him in disbelief at the scene unfolding before them.

He could also use his computational power to directly see Miyamizu Mitsuha, who was staring at him in shock.

no matter what.

Their own destiny and future were thus perfectly preserved.

——Swish.

The moment this conclusion is reached.

Accelerator's body vanished into thin air.

————————————————————————————

"--Well?"

When I came to my senses, I found myself in a completely unknown area.

No.

It shouldn't be that they never came at all.

"I remember...where was this place again?"

He immediately began to recall everything he had in his memory.

That's right.

Shortly before I arrived in this world... during that period of time.

Just over two thousand years ago, after that dragon was defeated.

And so I came into this space.

It was at that moment that I saw it.

"...Have you finally figured it out?"

The sound came from a direction not far away.

He turned his head and saw a figure vaguely emerging from the void.

The girl was dressed in blue and white, with long white hair and beautiful azure eyes.

The girl stood in stark contrast to the first one, who exuded an aura of tyranny.

"You've finally realized what you should really be doing in this world."

She was a girl back then.

Accelerator narrowed his eyes and immediately looked at her.

"What on earth do you want to say?"

She told me about "Musubi," but if that's the case... then why did she make me investigate all of this?

And the other party said that they were in this world.

Doesn't that mean she knows that she comes from another world?

"Who are you?"

“I am Musubi… the one that the dragon has been searching for, and the one truly enshrined at Miyamizu Shrine.”

Jie... that wasn't just a concept, but a real person.

The girl in front of me is named Jie.

"Everything will intertwine and connect, and sometimes break apart, but in the end, they will always be able to come together again."

The girl slightly raised her hand, and a faint glow slowly emerged from her palm.

That's... the bracelet that Taki always wears on his wrist, and it's also the hair tie that Mitsuha wears in her hair.

"By repeating this concept without limit, I essentially possess power equivalent to infinity."

"That dragon is a god. It is trying to take away the power I possess and the concept of 'Musubi'. That's why it spared no effort to travel beyond space and time, using a comet as a medium to intervene in Earth, all in order to completely destroy everything here and take away the power that belongs to me."

"...So, you called me here so I could stop that guy?"

Faced with the question of whether one side could pass, Jie nodded naturally.

"When I found you, you were just a fragment, but... the moment I touched your soul, the power I possessed naturally merged with yours, forming what you are now."

"Ha, so the reason I'm still able to maintain this human appearance is all thanks to you, right?"

They are constantly intertwined and connected, and sometimes they break, but after breaking, they become even stronger.

This is the 'Musubi'.

And the power derived from this concept would be an infinite loop, which is truly... an infinitely vast power.

That dragon relentlessly attacks Itomori Town, which worships this concept, in order to seize this power and claim it for itself.

And in order to fight against the dragon's invasion.

The girl, who was like a god and was embodied in the concept of knot, borrowed the power of Accelerator.

"So, now your task is complete."

The girl gazed at him calmly, and then created a space between them.

"Soon I will create a new body for you. You just need to let your soul enter into it, and then you can leave this world and head towards your original world."

"...Wait a moment."

Just as the girl was about to let him leave, Accelerator suddenly stopped her.

"If you do that, what about those two guys?"

"…who?"

"Taki Tachibana, and Mitsuha Miyamizu... what will happen to those two?"

The girl stared at Accelerator's expression and remained silent for a moment.

"You were never meant to exist in this world."

"So, if you just disappear like this, all memories of you will vanish in an instant, and then all their memories of all of this will be erased, and all the injustices in the world will disappear as a result."

"...Originally, the two of them were people from three years ago and three years later, existing on completely different timelines, and their encounter should never have happened under any circumstances."

How can this be?

If Accelerator leaves this place, then... Mitsuha and Taki will completely forget each other.

And forget about yourself too.

"What a joke."

No sooner had this topic been mentioned than the first person stared wide-eyed at Liaojie.

"You think I'd let something like this happen?"

"This is not a problem that can be solved by force."

Jie responded to him naturally.

"Even if you can destroy the universe with pure power, even if you can do something even stronger... once you leave this world, you will definitely be forgotten by them."

"…Varied…"

"Moreover, because of your departure, your original influence on them will also disappear. They will not only forget you, but also completely forget each other's experiences and names."

In other words.

The only way to solve this problem is for Accelerator to remain in this world.

But that's obviously impossible.

"What good is your power? Can't you use your power to change all of this?"

"...I cannot interfere with other people's fate."

He said in a sorrowful tone.

"The world changes on its own, and all I can do is subtly influence these changes, so..."

"So you're saying you can't personally intervene to change all of this?"

The sound suddenly came from right in front of me.

Just at this time.

Accelerator had already grabbed the knot by the collar with his hand.

"Listen up, I don't care if you're some kind of 'knot' or 'god' or anything, but I just want to say one thing to you."

An invisible aura of oppression slowly emanated from the monster's entire body.

He means it.

"Since I did the work for you, you have to give me a corresponding reward. That's the fairest answer, understand?"

"...I have already agreed to help you restore your body."

Did I ask you to do that kind of thing for me?
