Clip exposure, the savior Kamijou Touma

As for whether March 7 could understand after hearing such a clear and straightforward answer, everyone stopped worrying about it.

They all turned their eyes to the video again.

At the same time, in Academy City itself.

"I..won?"

Kamijou Touma was in a daze.

This answer surprised him.

This is the third time.

In the editing screen.

He defeated Accelerator for the third time.

But to be honest.

Saw this scene.

He was calmer than he thought.

The scene that echoed in my mind was the last time I fought a fierce battle with another side in the snow in Russia.

That showdown.

This was the time when Kamijou Touma felt closest to actually touching Accelerator.

A once bloodthirsty and crazy thug was willing to plead to save the girl he had been protecting with all his heart.

Maybe...Kamijo Touma thought to himself that maybe, Accelerator had found the life he wanted since then.

Just like him who lost his memory and met Index.

"Is there something you want to protect that you are standing on the opposite side of..."

Take a closer look at the words Accelerator said in the edited video, which were in conflict with himself.

Kamijou Touma didn't think that this outspoken and powerful enemy was just trying to find an answer for the sake of the situation.

There is no doubt that this is Accelerator's realization.

Furthermore.

If the number one attacker in the pursuit team was not Accelerator, with whom he had a close relationship.

If it is someone else with super powers who I don’t know and have no connection with.

In that case...

"No matter what, defeating Accelerator is only the beginning of this journey of rebelling against the entire world."

There is absolutely no way to shake this crystal-clear reality.

What will happen in the subsequent plot?

It's almost obvious.

Kamijou Touma silently glanced around the room at everyone who was patiently watching the edited footage.

His expression was more solemn than ever before.

At this moment, these people gathered in his room.

And at this moment, those esper powers who are regarded as the top force are running around in Academy City.

Even at this moment, in the magical area outside the Academy City, everyone is focused in front of the video, watching the scenes.

For a while.

The young man woke up as if from a dream.

Chills creeping up the back.

From a bystander's perspective.

Mr. Kamijou, who has become an enemy of the world, has many thoughts in his mind.

Including how to ensure Othinus's survival if it comes to this.

Light from frame to frame of video.

Can I be considered to have understood the concept of "understander" that Othinus was thinking of?

But what frightened Kamijou the most was not anything else.

It was a possibility he envisioned.

And this possibility is gradually becoming a reality with the appearance of Accelerator.

Just ask.

Even the appearance of Accelerator, who he was not very familiar with, in this scene made him think so much.

So...what if it's someone else who appears on the screen and fights against you?

It's Index, it's Kamijou Kaori, it's Misaka Mikoto, it's Tsuchimikado... Oh, I'm used to fighting this one. Another example is Stiyl... It's also easy to beat this one.

Well, that's all just talk and jokes.

but--

If the acquaintances really stood in front of me one by one and wanted to escape with Othinus.

Could she really shake her fist at these companions and try to protect the demon god who had nearly messed up everything for them?

Kamijou Touma couldn't come up with the right answer the first time.

I could only stare at myself talking to Othinus on the screen.

He didn't even notice that Tsuchimikado Motoharu next to him was talking to himself as he opened the refrigerator and put a can of ice cola against his cheek.

hiss--!

"I say, hey! What are you doing?" Kamijou Touma, who was attacked, quickly threw the can of ice drink aside amid Tsuchimikado's exaggerated laughter at the success of his prank, and stared at his best friend in submission and helplessness.

The latter laughed heartily as always.

But when the laughter ended, Tsuchimikado Motoharu returned to his usual attitude. Looking at Kamijou Touma who was obviously confused, the edges of his sunglasses glowed with a gleam.

Kamijou Touma's expression and thoughts.

He couldn't say it was certain.

But he was still able to interpret some of the content.

Kamijou Touma has never been the kind of person who would have the heart to lay hands on his friends.

Even in critical moments, this guy had several situations where he had to attack his companions, and he regretted it very much afterwards.

But it is precisely because of this kindness.

Kamijou Touma would feel guilty and hesitate...even though he would not slack off, he would still be held back by these unnecessary thoughts.

so--

At this time, as an imaginary enemy who may appear at any time in the video, he is also a true friend of Kamijou Touma.

Tsuchimikado Motoharu must tell this idiot the most true thing.

That is... don't completely put yourself in the video.

Any unnecessary consolation or meaningless words like "it's not your fault" are far less effective than this sentence.

"You don't need to dwell too much on these past events. Just treat it as watching a movie and concentrate on enjoying the unique skills that your partner in the video will show you when he or she is on the opposite side of you. If you think in reverse this way, will the pressure in your heart be relieved to some extent, Ah Shang!~"

Then——

Index also responded at the same time.

“Me…Me too, Touma! No matter what the outcome is, for now, Index, who sees this part of the video, will definitely not get angry because Touma left her alone… So, Touma, you also need to stay calm and not get emotionally aroused by the scenes in the video!”

Just like in the live broadcast room right now.

There was a message with very conspicuous handwriting, and the words were contained in a nice colorful dialog box.

That is a text box that only appears for people who have many appearances in the editing screen in the world being edited and played.

[I say, you bastard, are you an idiot? You said it so nicely before, and you were so persistent in your awareness and performance, but in the end... you have already tried your best to shake the demon god, and we are about to end this great war, but you actually betrayed... Kamijou Touma, even though I have never really met you in reality, I really want to ask you - why did you do this... Sometimes, unwarranted kindness will only bring suffering to those around you who have a good relationship with you. Have you ever thought about this problem! ! ]

The person who made this statement was none other than Peter Powell.

To be honest, in the real world, the interaction between Kamijou Touma and Bertholdt is almost zero.

From the beginning to the end, he had only come into contact with this magician in the world of editing... In his opinion, this was not a bad little girl, a child who never trusted anyone but gradually changed to be able to accept others.

But finally, the situation has changed.

In the video, the camps that originally shared the same hatred for the enemy became opposing sides.

It's no wonder that Bai Dewei, who is also watching these contents on the other end of the video, is upset...

Maybe the other party already regarded me as a partner...

In this situation, it's only natural that if I do this, it will be considered a betrayal, right?

Kamijou Touma didn't know how to respond to the questioning made by the other party through the video screen.

At the same time, in Accelerator's apartment, the strongest psychic who watched the whole thing was really feeling depressed.

Under that increasingly crazy mask.

Today's Accelerator is no longer the executioner who can coldly carry out the Academy City Plan and persist in becoming stronger regardless of right or wrong.

Memories of death assaulted Accelerator.

"This... Tsk..."

Just two words are enough to express one's true feelings.

Throwing the coffee can aside in annoyance, the half-angel, half-demon superpower felt a headache.

"Are you kidding me? Why am I the one who suffers every time?"

one way or another.

Kamijou Touma once again defeated the strongest esoteric user, Accelerator.

The battle of beliefs between the two, the duel on opposite sides, came to an end again.

It is true that Kamijou Touma won a pyrrhic victory.

But, did Accelerator hold back?

Different people have different opinions on this point.

"Heh... How interesting. The first person to appear is me, who usually just passes by him without any intersection. So the next person to appear is probably..."

Accompanied by Accelerator's whisper.

Video content continues to advance.

After Touma discovered that Othinus had signs of frostbite.

They have quickened their pace.

There were bickering, farces and laughter along the way, just like friends going out for a picnic together.

Supporting each other and moving towards one place.

Until a new powerful enemy arrived at the city.

The loud "clang clang" sound mixed with noise spread throughout the streets of Aalborg.

The sound came from disaster prevention loudspeakers installed throughout the street.

"what happened?"

"woo woo woo woo……"

Othinus, who was giving his partner a lesson in front of the clothing store, stopped and looked up. By the way, Kamijou, who was being ridden by the charming girl, was running at full speed towards the direction of becoming a pig head.

"We solemnly warn Kamijou Touma and Demon God Othinus. We already know that you are hiding in the city. Please disarm within ten minutes and surrender to the Ansgar Church in the city."

The reason for the two people's surprise was not the sensational broadcast content.

The warning was in Japanese.
