On that night, I once said this to the people around me.

"When everything is over, let's watch the stars together."

It was right to say so.

Lies, jokes, and evasions have spewed out like this—it is true.

At that time, I didn't say these words sincerely.

For fear of breaking my promise.Fear that I will die before that day comes.

However, it wasn't him who broke the oath.but—

-

"Damn it!!! Why don't you stop! It's enough! What's the point of such an approach?!"

Touma Kamijou knelt on the bone-chilling concrete floor.

Burying his head deeply between his arms, his clenched right hand beat hard on the hard ground.

——In this way, how is it different from the incompetent self who didn't prevent Accelerator from writing the order file into his mind on the 20th! !

pain.

sad.

All the emotions that Kamijou had deliberately buried in his heart finally burst out at this moment.Like a wound that never stops bleeding, sad blood gushes out all the time.

Then, he asked himself.

"How many times... have I been frustrated because I didn't save Accelerator?"

On the 20th, he watched helplessly as the first person entered the command file into his brain.

On the 24th, let Accelerator, who had lost his sense of autonomy, escape.

On the 26th, Accelerator almost died under the attack of Ni Gu and his men.

And now, I let this superpower go away without a word.

"Ha ha……"

Kamijou stood up unsteadily.

That thin and lonely figure swaying in the night wind seemed to fall into the darkness below and disappear the next moment.

Kamijou muttered to himself.

"It can't go on like this anymore."

He started to walk slowly in a daze.

It was a very narrow aisle, and Kamijou's crooked and disorganized walking posture would inevitably bump into the walls on both sides.

His head hit the wall hard.

The still bleeding arm scraped against the rough concrete.

However, even the pain-receiving organs seem to have lost their proper functions.

Finally, he stopped in front of the blocked passage.

His godless eyes looked up at the countless broken stones and twisted steel bars in front of him. In the depths of the thick darkness, nothing could be seen.

suddenly.

Kamijou Touma let out a heart-piercing roar.

"--What are you kidding!! No, it's just nonsense!! Accelerator won? No, how could that guy win!!"

Kamijou lowered his head after yelling such angry words.

"I... definitely want to wake that guy up from this ridiculous fantasy. Only this time—"

"—Only this time, absolutely must win."

-

First, Misaka Mikoto's number was dialed at an almost crazy speed.

After several busy tones, the girl sounded a little flustered.It might be due to Kamijou's unexpected behavior, she stammered.

"...Eh? What? Didn't you say that I contacted you in the next day..."

"Forget about Misaka!!" Kamijou suddenly yelled. "Where are you now? Since you are in the ninth school district..."

Then, he was interrupted calmly.

"Okay... I understand. This time, you want me to do something again."

Misaka Mikoto said.

she said quietly.

"...However, if you make the request impulsively——I won't obey obediently."

Kamijou froze for a moment.

I was indeed dazzled by anger and despair, if Mikoto hadn't woken me up, I'm afraid I would still be acting like this.

He took a deep breath to calm down the restless emotion in his chest.But just when he was about to speak, the brown-haired girl seized the opportunity.

"Ladder Tower, District Seven, are you there?"

"Huh? Why did you..."

Why did she learn of such a thing? This question was immediately answered by Misaka Mikoto.

"I met my sisters, and I used the information network to locate your positions a little bit. And the observation deck on the top of the tower was damaged so exaggeratedly... No one except the first one can do such a thing."

While talking, Mikoto walked forward quickly.

——In front of her is the place of this fierce battle, the spire of District Seven.

Facing Kamijou on the other end of the phone, Misaka Mikoto showed a triumphant smile.

Then, he stretched hard and stirred the game coins in his pocket with his fingers.

——"Okay~ la~ I won't let you escape this time, before I pay off my tram fare, there is still a large debt waiting for you to pay!!"

……

The vertical distance is 332m.

Range 50m.

"Well...it's not enough at all, this distance."

Misaka Mikoto said after visually observing.

"The super electromagnetic gun can't reach the top at all. With the material of the game currency, it will be melted by high temperature as long as it flies 50m away. Considering the factors of gravity and air resistance-it seems really not feasible."

"No, there is no need to use the railgun to deal with Accelerator. Since that guy is using his ability, the railgun will be 'reflected' back. Then, let the electrodes stop Accelerator..." Kamijou said .

Mikoto sighed.

"That doesn't work at all. Since the electromagnetic guns will be 'reflected', there is no reason for the first person not to eliminate the interference waves, right? And that guy seems to be doing something dangerous now..."

"...It seems like the Big Bang or something."

Kamijou said shyly, this sentence was met with a strong reaction from Mikoto immediately.

"What?! Liar?! That's something humans can't do... No, it's possible if he is the first, but does that guy really want to blow up the entire solar system?!"

"At present, it seems that they just want to blow up the steeple." Kamijou said helplessly, and then said to Mikoto in a solemn tone.

"Hey, Misaka. Is it possible to stop Accelerator?"

"impossible."

Mikoto answered firmly.

"Regardless of whether the first person can reflect the interference wave or not, if he interferes with the calculation rashly - not only Academy City, but the entire Japanese island will be destroyed. I still have self-knowledge on this point."

Faced with Mikoto's negative words, Kamijou laughed.

Not the slightest annoyance, not the slightest discouragement.

Rather, he was smiling happily.

"--Very good."

He gave such an unexpected answer.

"If that's the case, then there's no need to start from Accelerator's side, right? That guy's purpose is to destroy the entire detonation device and prevent Academy City from recycling it, so as long as the guy destroys the device before that guy and the first person That's it."

"But... the best way to destroy the device is indeed a large-scale explosion..." Miqin murmured in a low voice.

"No, you can do it, Misaka."

Kamijou spoke with the firmest voice.

Even though there is a vertical distance of 60 meters between the two and they haven't met each other, Mikoto believes that this young man with a hedgehog must have an admirably determined look on his face.

Kamijou said confidently.

Then she said the words that meant the most to her.

"—Because you are Misaka Mikoto."

Mikoto smiled.

She tossed her hair a little casually, and then said.

"Ah~ that's true."

The electromagnetic force emitted from the fingertips pulled the body, and Mikoto kept jumping in the air.Like a light bird, it flies through the night with magnetic force.

"—I'm that Tokiwadai Middle School ace, Misaka Mikoto!"

So, there is nothing impossible.

Therefore, it must be successful.

This is a fact that both Kamijou and Mikoto firmly believe in.

-

Mikoto finally landed on a huge steel bar, and said in a somewhat frustrated tone after looking around the terrain.

"No, I can only go up to here at most, and it's about 281m away from the top of the tower."

Kamijou gritted his teeth.

"That really doesn't work, does it?"

He still couldn't reach Accelerator.

Although a large part of the reason is the difference in strength between the two, the difference in the most critical concept is the culprit that caused all this.

While Kamijou was turning his mind negatively like this, he suddenly heard Mikoto say this.

"—No, it can be done."

Mikoto tapped the small shaft-shaped piece fixed on the outer edge of the steel bar with her fingers.

"BTR material, have you heard of it?"

Kamijou muttered to himself. "It seems to be something that was very popular on the Internet a while ago? It seems that some of them have been auctioned for tens of thousands of yuan..."

"Yes, that's the one. To put it simply, the thermal motion of molecules can be treated as an absolute zero condition at room temperature, so that the resistance is zero, just like a superconductor."

Ignoring Kamijou's complaint that "this thing seriously violates the principles of physics", Mikoto continued.

"Then, if it can be connected to form a high-voltage current leading to the top of the tower, the insulation layer can be broken down with a current higher than the electric strength, destroying that device."

——However, there is a difficulty.

Mikoto held the phone between her shoulders and carefully looked towards the outer edge of the steel bar.

"I couldn't see the junction, and if that were the case, I wouldn't be able to precisely control the direction of the current."

Mikoto is still 281 meters away from the top of the tower, it would be too hasty to just use visual inspection, but there seems to be no other good way——

"... Guard the robot."

Kamijou, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke out.

"Huh?" Meiqin asked in a daze.

"On the way you came here, you should have seen a lot of guard robots. Because the spire shook so strongly, the robots would also gather here. If I remember correctly—"

As Kamijou spoke, he recalled the first time he and Accelerator had covered his face when he and Accelerator were out on the 15th, as well as the tragedy when he was forced to cover his head with a plastic bag without a scarf or hat.

That's right, the facial recognition device on the security robot is actually equivalent to a camera.

"...If you use the camera of the security robot, you can get the image of the connection point!!"

Kamijou shouted eagerly.

This is the last way to save Academy City and Accelerator.

Therefore, even he, who never believed in gods, prayed deeply at this moment——

- to be successful no matter what.

"OK, give me 40, no, 30 seconds."

The brown-haired girl took out her PDA and snapped her fingers confidently.

"Invading the video monitoring center and obtaining the location, 30 seconds is enough—!"

at that moment.

at that moment.

Blue and white sparks burst from Misaka Mikoto's fingers.

This is the manifestation of Academy City's third person's full ability.

Smash all electronic barriers.Block all keys from breaking.

Mikoto's pupils reflected the huge and complicated data, which is a difficult number arrangement that ordinary people can't understand its meaning at all.After a while, the images of the entire Academy City were listed without reservation——

"All right."

Kamijou heard Misaka Mikoto say this.

Subconsciously looking at the screen of the portable terminal, Kamijou was really surprised.

— not even 30 seconds.

The girl used force to break through Academy City's multiple security systems, and this monster-like strength showed its shocking side.

"……Already done?"

Because it was too fast, I didn't even dare to confirm it.

Kamijou asked timidly.

"Ah, it's done."

Meiqin said.

The upturned corners of her mouth revealed a high-spirited smile.

"Then next——it's my debut time!!"

——At that moment, the high-voltage current was released.

----

Kamijou stood up unsteadily.

How should I put it, the feeling of wrapping my whole body is amazing.

It's like being covered with a huge black cloth over your head, or the fuzzy feeling of falling asleep in the mother's womb.But it wasn't gentle at all, on the contrary, there was a sense of coldness and pain from all over the body.

Then Kamijou finally found Ni Duan.

—The sky is black.

It is not the kind of dark blue black that belongs to the night, nor is it a black that is dotted with stars and is still pleasing to the eye.

But the chilling blackness of nothingness.

No, something is wrong.

He did let Misaka Mikoto pass electricity to the top of the tower, thereby destroying the detonating device and preventing Accelerator.But after that the memory is completely cut off.

"…………Misaka?"

Can't hear an answer.

Kamijou shifted his gaze to the phone screen.

Is it because of being busy?Kamijou couldn't dial Mikoto's number no matter what, only a cold reminder echoed in his ears.

"……One way?"

did not return.

The surroundings were as silent as death, under the black sky, only the desolate night wind brushed against his cheeks.

Darkness enveloped the city save for a few emergency lights in the distance.It seemed that even the car horn that could be vaguely heard just now was silent, and no sound could be heard.

It seems that Kamijou Touma is the only one left in this world.

——As if the world had already been destroyed.

……

"wrong."

Kamijou muttered to himself.He staggered forward.

"This place is completely wrong."

Where is Misaka Mikoto?

Where did Accelerator go?

Where did the 230 million people of Academy City go?

can not explain.

can not understand.

"So, this is an illusion."

Kamijou stretched out his hand, and touched the boundary of the space like a barrier.The power called "Fantasy Killer" came into play at that moment.

at the moment of touch.

——"Reflection", lifted.

Overwhelming heat waves scrambled to the top, blazing flames, intense glare, and violent explosions that shook the internal organs.

Kamijou's vision was burned by the terrible temperature and heat, he took a step back in horror, and then remembered.

—— Misaka Mikoto did not succeed in stopping Accelerator.

After destroying the device, the first person did not stop the calculation, and the explosion still happened.

However, at the moment before the explosion, Accelerator seemed to intentionally "reflect" the heat conduction, light and vibration. The black sky he saw just now was also caused by the strong light reflected by the first person.

However, Kamijou used "Fantasy Killer" to release "Reflection", and saw the miserable scene after the explosion.

Particles in space are disintegrated and collapsed.The top of the minaret is so miserable that nothing is left. At a certain point, the knotted steel bars seem to have been twisted abruptly, and there is a palpitating hollow on it.

Under such circumstances, Accelerator cannot survive.

That guy's calculation field can support the reflection of strong light and sound is already the limit.In order to make full use of the calculation space, Accelerator may even give up the ability to walk and speak, and in the end he can't even do simple actions such as standing.

"Failed, huh...?"

Kamijou muttered in despair.

The aftermath of the explosion still persisted, and the scalding steel bars made him itch unbearably.As long as it slightly touches other objects, it will be burned immediately.

However, Kamijou staggered towards the pile of rubble.

He frantically pushed aside the scorching stones with his completely uninsulated, scarred hands.

Knowing it is futile.

Knowing it is useless.

While throwing away the gravel piece by piece with all his strength, he whimpered helplessly.

Even though they were cold tears, Kamijou still felt pain far beyond the burn when it dripped down the back of his hand.

Just want to protect the precious things.

I just want Accelerator to survive——

"—Why can't it be done!!"

He grabbed the stone hard.

The rough sand and sharp edges scratched the palm, and thick and bright red blood flowed down.

Even with such desperate efforts to extract stones, the blocked road still has no sense of dredging.

——There wasn’t even a gap where a cat could crawl through.

Kamijou violently pushed away the pile of rubble with a force that seemed to crush his molars. This action, this process lasted for an unknown amount of time, repeated hundreds or thousands of times, but he still couldn't move forward at all.

Finally, he knelt down on the gravel and looked at the pile of stones in front of him.

trembling.

As if about to cry.

Beating hard with both hands, scratching the head, the body arched slowly, and finally knelt down on the ground.

I can't feel anything anymore.

sad.sorrow.pain.

Everything is numb and I can't feel it at all.

Fang Chuan said to him.

"Come back alive and be a hero."

However, he broke his promise.

Teacher Xiaomeng said to him.

"You can discuss any painful and sad things with the teacher."

However, he concealed it.

Misaka Mikoto said.

"Don't hide things in your heart and say nothing!"

However, I regretted it.

If hard work is meaningless, what is the purpose of struggling?

If living is doomed to suffer excruciating pain, then what is the purpose of surviving?

Kamijou frantically shook his head, trying to get rid of the negative thoughts that had swirled in his mind for a moment.

However, it can't be done.

Even if you feel nothing.

Even if nothing can be seen.

Even if you can't touch anything.

"I want to...see you."

From Kamijou's throat, such a small and weak choked sob came out.

Towards the front that has been buried by heavy gravel, towards the dusty dark depths.Kamijou smiled helplessly and sadly.

Although it won't be heard by the other party, although it is such a sad awareness from the beginning.

Kamijou repeated this over and over again, as if he wanted to redeem something pointlessly.

"I want to see you... Accelerator."

"——I don't want to see your stupid face at all."

At that moment, the words that had no response were continued.

A voice that was too far away to be touched, yet so close, sounded from behind Kamijou.

Kamijou turned his head stiffly, and could even feel the bones in his neck making dangerous sounds.

Shortness of breath.The heart rate exploded.Vision begins to blur and spin.

I had already made up my mind not to listen to any voice.But only that guy's voice still came so clearly.

Can't refuse at all, can't give up at all.

——The white monster is there.

With the raging flames as the background, he still smiled arrogantly and carelessly.Under the dark sky, in the lonely night wind, the pure white looks especially pure and dazzling.

Accelerator said this casually in a bored voice, in the arrogant tone most familiar to the above.

"—Yo, long time no see, what a mess."

"Fang Accelerator...can I punch you?"

Kamijou said with a gloomy face.

Even Kamijou couldn't stand being forced into this kind of situation. To be honest, the moment he saw the first figure, his heart was not touched by reunion after a long absence—it was stronger than ever. of anger.

After setting up so many flags, he finally came back swaggeringly as if nothing had happened at all, and played around with himself-if this was a novel, Kamijou felt that he could give the screenwriter a punch.

"Okay." Accelerator was unexpectedly straightforward.

It’s tricky!

Even with his own consent, Kamijou began to hesitate. After experiencing Accelerator's style of "killing first and playing later", he has become sensitive to the actions of this superhuman.

Sure enough, as expected in the previous article, Accelerator immediately added additional conditions.

"Use your left hand."

Saying this, the first person immediately turned on the electrode, and his ulterior motives were clear at a glance.

——You let me slap my hair! !

Facing Accelerator like this, Kamijou also felt helpless.

However, this is the first person he is familiar with, the real Accelerator he has always wanted to find.

Kamijou cautiously approached Accelerator, but just as he was about to put his hand on the shoulder of the first person, he was said so mercilessly.

"Go away, didn't I say I don't want to see your goddam face?"

"Mr. Kamijou, I'm just about to start the lyrical part! Normally, isn't that the case? The most important branch of the strategy at the end of light novels and Galgames!"

"—Who cares about you!!"

It's unfortunate that he was brutally suppressed with violent complaints as soon as they met... Kamijou thought with a mournful face.

After trying to pat the dust off the ground, he sat down against the other end of the stone.

"...then I sit here...you don't mind?"

There happened to be Accelerator at the back. Although this way the face of the first person could not be seen at all, the voice could still be heard.

Accelerator was silent for a while, and then reluctantly opened his mouth.

"It's annoying...You can roll as far as you like, you bastard."

Meaning, acquiescence.

After getting the correct translation in his mind, Kamijou smiled and sat down.He tried to lean his back against the slate, and tried to move backwards a bit.But even if he did this, it didn't seem to bring the distance between him and Accelerator any closer.

"Hey, Accelerator, how... did you escape?" Kamijou tried to speak.

Fang Chuan had already told him the fact that Accelerator's calculation field was limited. Even if the big bang was successfully simulated, the first person probably would not have the most basic power to "reflect".

As a result, every part of the body is disintegrated and exploded.

However, since Accelerator can still be here and talk to himself, it means that the experiment was successful.

Accelerator sighed, and then said in a forced tone.

"The fragments of the A-level password were cleared a few seconds before the explosion. But since this happened...it was probably discovered by that brat...The Last Work."

The last work used the computing power of [-] sisters of the Misaka Network to liberate the computing field and allow Accelerator to "reflect" at the last moment, so that he survived.

The best explanation I can think of right now is this.

"Haha... how should I put it? It's really a close call."

Kamijou scratched his head and smiled wryly.

In fact, another reason is Misaka Mikoto's assistance.It is impossible to solve it in such a short period of time with the computing power of the Misaka Network alone. Accelerator also understands this, but he just doesn't want to say it out loud.

Exhaling the turbid breath in his chest, Kamijou suddenly felt a sense of relief enveloping his whole body.It seemed as if the boulder that had been stuck in his heart had been removed, and even the night wind that had been feeling bitingly cold became refreshing.

As if feeling his mood, Accelerator on the other side of the slate said calmly.

"...you don't mean to say 'it's over', do you?"

"Why do you know... But, it is indeed the feeling." Kamijou narrowed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and being bathed in this gentle night brought him an unprecedented wonderful feeling.

"Although I have thought about it many times, but this time the feeling is the strongest... Accelerator, I think this world is beautiful. Even though there are so many pains and setbacks standing in the way, I still have to live here Go on—the place we have lived in is the most beautiful world."

Kamijou looked at the city under the pitch-black sky.

The warm lights gradually turned on, dispelling the darkness and haze that had enveloped the street.Street lamps, bridge lamps, neon lights, countless small lights that emerged reflected this silent night.

Behind Kamijou, Accelerator laughed.

Probably there is no objection, or maybe he agrees with his words.

"Let's just agree with what you guys said."

Kamijou quietly stretched his hand aside, and then held Accelerator's slightly cold palm.

Across a damaged stone wall, the two back to back finally reconnected.

Accelerator trembled slightly at that moment, but he still seemed to acquiesce in Kamijou's actions, and just quietly let him hold his hand.

Although such a move was done once a few hours ago, this time it was of great significance to both of them.

"Welcome back."

Kamijou said.

A gentle voice, as if coaxing a child to sleep.

"The corresponding line... I don't know how to say it."

Accelerator said that, and turned his head to the side awkwardly.

However, at that moment, Kamijou still keenly caught the few syllables that leaked from the mouth of the first person.

Those were secret words spoken with a rather reluctant tone.

"--I am back."

-

Gazing at the illuminated urban area in the distance with soft eyes, Kamijou thought of Index who might still be yelling hungry at home, Yoshikawa Kikyo who might be angry with him and Accelerator, and thought of the possible Misaka Mikoto would be upset with him for not answering the phone all the time.

My home is there.

And in order to protect that favorite home, this time he also went all out to fight.

"Ah, I really want to go home."

After saying that, Kamijou burst out laughing.This kind of joke that can be said casually on weekdays is very precious at this time.

"...Call Fang Chuan, I told her to come and meet her before." Yifang Accelerator suggested.

After hearing Accelerator's words, Kamijou began to look up Yoshikawa's number in the address book, and said casually at the same time.

"What do you want to do when you get home? It feels like Mr. Kamijou made a lot of wishes before he died... For example, to be able to buy special products every day, to be able to memorize a few English words...ah, there is one more... "

Kamijou said to himself, and then showed a somewhat shy and expectant expression.

"...Let's go to see the stars together, Accelerator?"

"turn down."

"Eh? Eh...? Wait, wait, did you listen to me carefully—"

Faced with Accelerator who categorically denied his dream plan all along, Kamijou began to wave his hands in a panic.

Then, Accelerator sneered.

"Who wants to do that kind of boring thing with you. Speaking of which, you guy did say this ridiculous joke that night in the third district of Arakawa... But, I don't feel relieved."

"At least give me a reason to be denied! I'm not reconciled! This feeling of being told by the patrolling teacher before the test paper is finished, 'Your answer is too bad, so you don't need to hand in the paper'... Can you understand?!" Kamijou was still struggling with a sliver of hope.

The first one pondered for a moment, then said.

"...'Winter Triangle'."

"what?"

Accelerator said angrily.

"You were referring to the 'Winter Triangle' that night, not the 'Winter Hexagon'!"

The hedgehog-headed boy was completely stunned. "...so... that's the reason?"

"Yeah, that's it. Regardless of the meaning of this utterly boring activity, I don't want to have a club with a layman who thinks he has learned thoroughly, squatting on the lawn like an idiot and using an astronomical telescope." Activities... not to mention that the object is you bastard... Ha, that kind of scene is really disgusting."

The first said in an extremely disappointed tone, looking like a member of the troublemaker club who didn't want to do club activities.However, if there were such a troublesome club member, Kamijou thought he would immediately tear up the club application form and shout "Are you kidding me?"...something like that

So Kamijou, this is how he feels right now.

"Wow... This is obviously impossible! The blue-haired earrings kindly and carefully taught me how to identify the constellations...!"

Kamijou scratched his head and cheeks anxiously, unable to figure out where the mistake came from.Seeing this situation, Accelerator sighed and said.

"Okay, then where do you say Rigel is?"

"... Taurus?"

After answering cautiously, Kamijou heard Accelerator's gasping in surprise, and then the first person coughed as if trying to cover up something.

"Very well, you don't have to come tomorrow."

"Has Mr. Kamijou been fired unknowingly?!"

Kamijou slumped his shoulders in frustration as he kept complaining like this.

"I always feel...the future is dark."

"what do you mean."

"Lucky in love. Because every year when I go to apply for a lottery, I always have a bad habit, so I wanted to find Lanfa Earrings to take a little love tutoring class, but the result was...failed~ completely unqualified."

Accelerator tilted his head, then looked up at the sky.Since the two turned their backs, Kamijou didn't know what the first person was looking up at.

suddenly.

broke the silence.

"Then, how about continuing with tutoring?"

The first one to make such a completely ignorant proposal.

"What?"

Just when Kamijou was in a daze, Accelerator stretched out his hand and gestured in the sky.

"There are three stars in the belt over there. There are two brighter stars at both ends of the vertical line, which are the α and β stars of Rigel, so Rigel belongs to Orion, not the ghost Taurus you mentioned just now. "

"Eh?...Ah, that's true...haha."

Kamijou's voice sounded a bit stuttering, as if he didn't know how to respond.

"Then there is Aldebaran, the main star of Taurus, the main sequence star... No, it is already a red giant star. This guy is also one of the bright stars, so it is easy to identify." Accelerator said self-consciously.

wrong.

What is wrong.

Kamijou answered Accelerator with an affirmative voice, and took out his cell phone.

Fang Chuan's number has been dialed since just now, but it is completely unavailable.When a large-scale disaster broke out, he couldn't make calls because the line was busy. Such a terrible incident happened to Kamijou at this time.

(——Dial me instead!!)

Kamijou couldn't help roaring in his heart, and tapped his fingers on the screen quickly, sending help messages over and over again.

"—Sirius in Canis Minor, Procyon, and Betelgeuse in Orion, these three bright stars form the winter triangle. By the way, these are all bright stars belonging to the ten bright bodies. It’s quite easy to recognize in shape.”

"Ah, what about the one over there?"

Kamijou felt that his voice was visibly trembling.

Totally unreachable.

No matter how many times I try, I still can't make a call.So Kamijou smashed the phone aside dejectedly, trembling while holding his head.

Accelerator paused for a moment.

Then speak in a calm, thoughtful voice.

"Capella. It's the Capella of Auriga."

This time Kamijou finally couldn't take it anymore.

He bent over, banging his forehead hard on his knees.Like crazy, he continued this self-harming action silently and forcefully.

Warm tears flowed from the sockets of the eyes, flowing non-stop as if a switch had been turned on.

However, he still insisted on asking.

He asked with a teary-eyed look on his face.

"Where's that star over there? The one that looks bright."

Kamijou's hand pointed to the pitch-black sky.With a cry, he asked.

"Polocast. Just skip over the Gemini's Castor." Yifang Accelerator replied.

However, Kamijou's finger did not point to Pollux.Rather, it doesn't point to any stars.

Accelerator made one of the most fatal mistakes, which was not considered in the original plan of the first one.

—Tonight is a starless night.

In the pitch-black sky, there was no light at all.

In other words, what the first person just said is all lies.

Accelerator couldn't see anything anymore.

In order to conceal all this, the white monster is so desperately trying to tell all this.

Even though he couldn't see Kamijou's fingers, he still uttered such a gentle, yet cruel lie.

At this time, Kamijou wiped his tears with the back of his hand vigorously, choked the painful sobs in his throat, and asked Accelerator a question.

And Accelerator also answered him one by one, telling about the constellations that do not exist in the dark sky.

The two bonded by lies, just sat under the dim night sky.

The false words they are telling each other are the only connecting thread at this moment——

Suddenly, both of them fell silent.

In this empty ruins, the two people leaning on each other held hands tightly.As if being rejected by this world, they were tiny and sat quietly alone.

The dusty night wind blew up the strands of hair and swept across the barren place.

"go home."

Kamijou choked up and said.

"Although there is a glutton named Index at home, I will still make breakfast well. Teacher Xiaomeng may come to the door occasionally, it is probably for psychological counseling and the like, and I will have to make up for the missed courses. superior."

As if he remembered something, Kamijou began to rummage through the items in his backpack.

"...By the way, because the PPK pistol/gun was accidentally lost, I have to apologize to Fang Chuan. Go back and repair the mobile phone that is about to be scrapped-the screen of this thing has cracks. Ah, by the way, let the last work Come to my house to play, as a thank you gift for Index staying at your house these days..."

Kamijou, stop.

He stopped talking and gritted his teeth.

I can't go on talking anymore, I can't comfort myself like this anymore.

Because, he clearly felt that the temperature of the number one hand that he was holding tightly was dropping significantly.
