When it comes to morning, three things come to mind.

Drowsiness due to low blood sugar.

The exhaustion of having to get up to start the day.

And there's-

Kamijou's head felt a sharp pain that had not been felt for a long time.

The teeth are in close contact with the skull, and the intense pain seems to be crushing the bones.Ah, what should I say?It was so kind that it almost brought tears to his eyes.

There is no need to guess what is going on, because this unfortunate situation is already one of the daily dramas.

"Morning~ good~ Touma! Wake up, Touma! Index, I have been waiting devoutly for breakfast time since 5 o'clock! Even if the world is going to be destroyed today, please leave breakfast first!! Touma ! Breakfast! Touma! Breakfast!"

That's right, if he opened his eyes now, a hungry silver-haired nun with a blood-filled mouth would appear in front of him.

Index was shaking Kamijou's body desperately, yelling for food rhythmically.

Even if he covered his head under the blanket, he couldn't resist Index's sharp teeth, so Kamijou finally sat up helplessly, and reluctantly walked towards the kitchen while yawning.

"Yes~ yes, then Miss Index, let Kamijou-san continue to catch up on sleep after breakfast is ready......Ah......I can't keep my eyes open at all, where is the frying pan......?"

"Could it be that I was looking at that thing called a computer last night? Touma's recent schedule is really strange... But as long as it can fill my stomach, it will be fine, Long live Touma!!"

Index raised her hands and cheered.

While squinting, Kamijou took out two eggs from the refrigerator, smashed the shells in a daze, and at the same time answered Index's words vaguely.

"I'm really sleepy... I can't make up the homework I left behind a while ago... and the subject assigned by Teacher Xiaomeng... Hulu..."

"Touma!! The egg white is leaking out! Touma...? Eh? Asleep?"

……

— 7:00am —

This is the day of the unfortunate boy named Kamijou Touma.

……

"Are you going out again?"

Index saw Kamijou taking off his apron, putting on his coat, and standing in front of the electronic clock for a while, as if confirming the itinerary, so she asked.

Kamijou said while buttoning his coat.

"Ah, yes. There are still many things to do today..."

"That kind of thing is fine! The point is... you must come back at lunch time! I don't know how to use that thing called Microwave Index... and I want to eat three-eyed dinosaur shrimp at noon today! "

"Isn't that a living fossil?! Don't put things from the animal introduction channel in the recipe!!"

Facing the big-stomach nun with bright eyes, who was clearly looking forward to the next meal, Kamijou scratched his head in distress.In the end, he sighed and said as if he was at a loss for Index.

"...Anyway, I ordered a home delivery service last night, and someone will deliver it around noon. Stay at home, Index."

"Woo~~ As expected of Dangma!!"

Index screamed happily while holding the Sphinx, rolling around in front of the TV.Kamijou held back even though he really wanted to remind her that she had completely lost her demeanor as a nun.

Glancing at his watch, he sighed and walked towards the door.

(Unfortunately... this morning when Index was entangled...Although it has become a norm, Mr. Kamijou should have adapted to this situation long ago, but I still have to sigh...)

"...Dang Ma."

"Hay?!"

Kamijou shuddered violently, and he looked at Index tremblingly.Just as he was wondering whether the broken thoughts in his heart had been noticed by the other party, an umbrella had already been handed over.

Index said seriously.

"It's snowing outside."

"Ah... oh, it's true after looking at it this way... No wonder I always feel a little cold this morning..."

While muttering, he took the umbrella from Index, and Kamijou looked out the window.Pure white snow hangs on the neatly trimmed bushes, and even the road is covered with a layer of white snow.Only when he saw this scene did he realize that winter had come.

"Winter...?"

Kamijou looked at the electronic clock again without realizing it.

——As if to remind him, a slowly rotating snowflake pattern appeared on the corner of the electronic clock, announcing the coming of winter.

------

— 11:30am —

……

"Excuse me, I'm coming in."

After a casual greeting, Kamijou stepped into the teacher's room.

Since it was lunch break, and he was still resting, Kamijou dared to walk around the school with such peace of mind.

It seemed that no one was there, and the teacher's room seemed a little deserted.Several stacks of handouts and some professional books used by class instructors were neatly placed on the table.After that, a small figure suddenly poked its head out.

"Kamijo-chan! Are you finally willing to come to school? The teacher thought you had encountered some difficulties recently, and was thinking about whether to make another home visit... or something like that!"

Teacher Xiaomeng waved the teachings in her hand vigorously, and turned around on the office chair.

Because of being blocked by the tall book mountain, Kamijou hadn't noticed the existence of this petite mentor before.So he screamed at this moment, and the stack of books in his hand fell to the ground, scattered all over the ground.

"Really... Teacher Moe, don't scare me like this." Kamijou complained while squatting down to tidy up.

"Scared Kamijou-chan? I'm sorry, the teacher didn't mean it~ But I've been waiting here for Kamijo-chan, didn't the phone call already agreed?"

Teacher Xiaomeng tapped his shoulder with the lesson plan and said with a smile.

"Ah... that's why the teacher put away the ashtray? The one that's always been kept here..."

As soon as Kamijou gestured with his hands in doubt, he was met with a fierce reaction from Moe-sensei.

"Don't, don't, don't say it, Kamijou!! Even as a teacher, I want to make a good impression on my students! Why do you want to puncture it!"

Probably because the students were very concerned about the students seeing him slovenly, drinking and smoking like a middle-aged uncle, Mr. Moe's face flushed red, and he pushed Kamijou's shoulder desperately.

"Huh? Eh? Sorry!"

Kamijou, who realized that he had poked the teacher's sore spot, hurriedly raised his hand to cover his mouth, and then whispered.

"Speaking of which, Teacher Xiaomeng..."

"Yes?"

Teacher Moe looked at Kamijou with tears in his eyes, even he couldn't bear to see that innocent look, so Kamijou looked away embarrassingly.

"...I have read all the psychological counseling books that the teacher asked me to read. I have written the thesis, and I have completed the homework and handed it in to the teacher."

"so what?"

Kamijou carefully shifted his gaze back to Komoe-sensei's face, and then quickly bounced it away like an electric shock.He said in a stammering voice.

"...Can you... take a leave of absence today?"

Teacher Xiaomeng puffed up her cheeks.

Not good!This expression is really not good!

Kamijou screamed in his heart, and at the same time forced a smile, carefully observing the change of Moe-sensei's expression.

Teacher Xiaomeng stared at him for a while, then asked with a smile.

"What's the reason?"

"Limited...Limited time sale!! It's Apple's limited time sale!!"

Kamijou replied immediately, with a tragic look on his face.Even though he had rehearsed it countless times beforehand, it still made his face burn when he actually spit out this stupid reason.

(...Speaking of the reasons why I choose to buy Apple! How can an educator agree to such a completely unreliable thing...)

A drop of cold sweat slid down Kamijou's forehead, he made a smirk while maintaining a bowing posture.

"……sure."

"Eh?"

After receiving the unexpected answer, Kamijou raised his head in bewilderment.Teacher Xiaomeng smiled and shook the pen holder, and said gently.

"What's wrong? Don't you think the teacher won't approve? Kamijou-chan must be very busy recently, with dark circles appearing under her eyes... It would be too unfair not to give a chance to rest to Kamijo-chan who is working so hard."

Although the dark circles under the eyes are the product of the pressure of the psychological counseling paper assigned by Teacher Xiaomoe, Kamijou still wants to roll his hands on the ground twice and shout: "Teacher Xiaomoe is the tallest!!"

Assaulted by this overjoyed feeling, Kamijou's whole body was full of energy, and he bowed sincerely again, full of vitality.

"Then, thank you teacher."

Teacher Xiaomeng crossed her arms and closed her eyes thoughtfully.

"There's no need to thank you, but on the other hand..." She smiled and waved her hand, making a farewell gesture to Kamijou.

"—Remember to leave an apple for the teacher, put on the sauce."

Kamijou gave a wry smile, and quickly walked away from the teacher's room.

...Really, has my petty thoughts been seen through again?

------

……

— 11:22am —

……

"Yo, isn't this Ah Shang? Long time no see meow~"

As soon as he heard the familiar voice and the very iconic mouth habit, Kamijou's body shook violently.Originally, I wandered around the school twice to finish the formalities and preparations before leaving, but I didn't expect to meet my bad friends here.

Kamijou said sullenly as he could accurately identify who it was without turning his head.

"... Tsuchimikado."

The boy with blond hair and sunglasses patted Kamijou on the back carelessly, and said in the same voice as usual.

"What's the matter, Shang? This frowning expression, could it be that Teacher Xiaomeng asked to write a psychological counseling paper, and since three days ago, he has been rushing homework day and night, and this morning he has to get up early to make breakfast—— —Ah Shang's expression is simply telling 'unfortunate'... such a feeling meow."

"Why did you guess everything right?!"

Facing the astonished Kamijou, Tsuchimikado proudly pushed his sunglasses.

"Not only that, is Ah Shang planning to cook three-eyed dinosaur shrimp for lunch?"

"Why do you even know the conversation between me and Index?!! And can you stop mentioning the three-eyed dinosaur shrimp?!"

Just as Kamijou was complaining violently, an arm naturally wrapped around his neck and rested on his shoulder.A face that made Kamijou most annoyed approached.

"Take leave for two weeks, but when you come back, you have already forgotten our two brothers? How was the honeymoon trip? Why did you say that you got dark circles under your eyes because of rushing homework? In fact, it was triggered by the H incident with my sister last night, so I stayed all night Sleepless...?"

That's right, the person who said that was none other than Kamijou's bad friend, Blue Hair Earrings, one of the Big Three idiots.

In stark contrast to the hippie smiling face with blue hair and earrings, Kamijou's face was getting darker and darker.As if finally unable to bear this atmosphere anymore, Kamijou said in a low voice.

"Hey, Blue Hair Earrings, as you said just now, we are brothers, right...?"

The blue-haired earring whistled and snapped his fingers at the same time. "Of course! We are brothers recognized by the whole school, no, the whole city!"

brush! !

Kamijou pointed at Aifa Earring sharply with unquestionable momentum, due to the sudden incident and his terrifying aura, Tsuchimikado and Aifa Earring unconsciously took a small step back.

Kamijou looked at the blue-haired earring with a broken heart.

"—In this case, why did you lie to me that the winter triangle is the winter hexagon!! You deceive me who is ignorant and ignorant with lies, can this be called a real brother?!"

Fine beads of sweat appeared on the forehead of the blue-haired earring.

Even so, he forced his chest out calmly and replied.

"You don't understand this, a little mistake in a love story sometimes won't lower your favorability, but it will make the other party get closer to you!! Now the perfect blond man is no longer popular! No matter what triangle he is It's still a hexagon, as long as it can catch the girl

The heart is done, isn't it? ! "

Both sides are menacing.

After a long time, Kamijou sighed, put down his hand pointing at the blue-haired earring, and said helplessly.

"... Forget it, if this continues, it will turn into exchanging love experiences with Lanfa Earring... Should I go back before the limited-time special price starts?"

Under the astonished eyes of the blue-haired earrings, Kamijou picked up his bag and walked towards the school gate.

The blue-haired earrings who were still maintaining the posture with their hands on their hips pointed at Kamijou's back in surprise, and asked Tsuchimikado next to him as if confirming.

"...Huh? Huh? Is this the end of the matter?"

Kamijou, who looked particularly dull today, even showed a sense of heaviness from his back.This made him and Tsuchimikado sympathize with Kamijou while being puzzled.

Tsuchimikado patted Lanfa Earring's shoulder, and then quickly followed Kamijou's back who was gradually moving away.

"Shang, where are you going now, meow?"

Shouting to Kamijou while trotting, Kamijou stopped when he heard Tsuchimikado's shout.

He glanced at Tsuchimikado and said.

"Limited time sale."

Kamijou maintained his posture of turning his head slightly, still facing away from Tsuchimikado.His voice was indifferent without any emotional fluctuations, as if he was just stating a basic fact.

Tsuchimikado has already sensitively noticed that Kamijou seems to be gradually building a barrier in his heart, wanting to separate others from himself, wanting to completely separate reality from his heart.

But the blond spy didn't say anything, just with his usual hearty smile on his face, he waved his hand and said.

"Then, don't bother me, meow~"

If this is Kamijou Touma's determination and belief, then no one will be able to convince him.

Tsuchimikado stood where he was, until Kamijou's figure completely disappeared from his field of vision, then he slowly lowered his hand.

Although there is still a bright smile on his face, the eyes behind the sunglasses are already shining with a sharp light.Like a falcon circling in the air looking for food, Tsuchimikado whistled.

Then, took out the phone.

"So so~ Before Ah Shang goes to the 'Limited Time Sale', as a close friend, I seem to have to do something~"

——In this chilling winter with dark tides, a cold storm is quietly brewing.

-----

……

— 4:07pm —

-

"PPK pistol/gun, portable terminal, and the expenses for the little nun of your family's board and lodging at our house - a total of 132.7 million yuan, and there is no need to pay a fraction."

Fang Chuan tapped on the paper with a ballpoint pen, and then added another sentence as if he remembered something.

"By the way, the pen you took away that day is a precious metal pen with a 21k gold nib carved by Master Yamashita. Because it is a limited edition, the market price can be auctioned for 2 yuan—and add it to the account? "

"Cheat, lie?! Mr. Kamijou is already in debt?! And that pen... 2 yen...Damn it! Why did it become like this!!"

The one who cried bitterly on the ground with his head in his arms was an unfortunate boy named Kamijou Touma.The fact that he had incurred huge expenses for keeping Index at Huang Quanchuan's house for two weeks made him miserable.

Kamijou rummaged through the coins in his pocket pitifully, but there was nothing left except the meager 1 yen he carried with him.

Fang Chuan looked at him and took a sip of coffee leisurely.

"Although Aiho insists that you don't have to pay back the money, how should I put it--recently, money has become a little tight recently in order to collect weight loss equipment, and it's not good to make you feel owed to us."

"In short, do you want me to pay back the money?!"

Kamijou scratched his head in pain, lowered his head and said dejectedly.

"Ah... It is indeed my fault that I owe the fees, but Mr. Kamijou has no other source of income other than the monthly student allowance..."

"Kamijo-kun, do you think I look like a loan shark?"

Fang Chuan showed an amiable smile.

"Oh oh oh oh oh, Miss Yoshikawa is of course much more kind than loan sharks! Although it is true that I owe a huge amount of debt, the interest and deadline can be slightly relaxed...?" Kamijou's eyes flashed brightly .

Fang Chuan nodded with a smile, then nodded.

"So, you can return it anytime. Not only that, but I also provided several plans for repaying the money and raising funds. Are you interested in listening to it?"

"Eh? Is there a solution?" Kamijou raised his head in surprise.

At this moment, Fang Chuan waved his hand and said to the door.

"come in."

The one who opened the door and entered was Miss Misaka, the individual known as No. 10032.

She held a list in her hand, and after looking blankly at Kamijou, she turned her gaze back to the paper.

"Then, Misaka began to talk about how to pay back the money in a short time—the following options. This is the most detailed and feasible plan discussed by Misaka, Misaka said."

"Oh~ I'm so touched, Miss Misaka!! You are all good people!!"

Kamijou was lying on the ground with tears in his eyes, if he could (if it wouldn't be regarded as sexual harassment), he wanted to get up and hug Misaka sister's thigh right now.

Misaka-san calmly read out the items on the list.

"Option 30, withdraw 224.5% from Kamijou Touma's monthly subsidy, and it will take about 18.7 months, or [-] years, to pay it off. Misaka made a suggestion."

"Mr. Kamijou has turned into a weird uncle, okay?! And 6000 yen a month... I will be struggling too!!"

Miss Misaka glanced at Kamijou who was drenched in cold sweat, and continued reading.

"Since 18.7 years is too long, Misaka suggested to implement the second plan. The market price of a pint (437ml) of blood in the United States is 337 US dollars, and you can earn back about 15700 yen. The illegal price of the liver is 262900 US dollars, and the kidney is [-] dollars. For $[-]…”

"Stop! Stoppppp! Stop talking! Mr. Kamijou's whole body will be filled with absorbent cotton, and there will be no internal organs left!!"

Kamijou's wailing filled the room, and he repeatedly hit his head on the ground, almost crying out in distress.

Yes, he was wrong.

Yoshikawa and Misaka sister are not some angels who want to pull him out of hell, but——

"Demons, you demons who tried every means to push me into the magma!" Kamijou gritted his teeth.

Miss Misaka tilted her head a little at a loss, stopped reading, and looked at Fang Chuan as if asking for advice.Fang Chuan shrugged, and then spoke.

"That, Kamijou-kun? Making money is not as easy as you think. If you underestimate this point, you can only say that you are an idiot who dreams of getting rich. Nopains, nogains. Should have heard of it?"

Kamijou turned his head and said unwillingly.

"I know... I know this too. But! The price is too high!! Isn't there a third way? That one can raise funds quickly without replacing all internal organs The way...!!"

Fang Chuan laughed.

She stretched out three fingers and waved them in front of Kamijou's eyes.

"Of course there is."

"Eh?"

"For a part-time job of 800 yuan an hour, let me do it for the time being." Fang Chuan knocked on the rather thick documents piled aside, and said after taking a sip of coffee. "It's just a job to fill out an application form, even if you only have a high school degree, you can do it."

Indeed, this is a much gentler method than drawing blood from the whole body and emptying out organs to exchange for money, and it doesn't sound like there will be any harm.

Kamijou blurted out almost immediately without thinking. "I do!!"

Due to being too excited, Kamijou was momentarily dazzled by the sudden sense of relaxation, he smiled cheerfully, but didn't notice the movements of Yoshikawa and Misaka sister beside him.

Fang Chuan and sister Misaka looked at each other, clapped their hands lightly, and at that moment, the two smiled triumphantly.

Then, said in a low voice.

"—Plan planning."

------

……

— 6:10pm —

……

Since it was winter, the sky darkened very quickly.

It was only 10:[-], and it was already dark everywhere.The light of a lone star flickered faintly in the deep blue sky, and a cold air current hovered over the city.

Warm yellow lights gradually flooded the street, accompanied by melodious English songs played in the shopping street, pedestrians walked slowly among the fluttering white snow.

Kamijou walked in the snow step by step, as if aimlessly, staring blankly at the colorful shop signs.

Then, he stopped helplessly.

The white mist exhaled from his mouth, and the chilly air was poured into his lungs. He stood alone on the street like this.The steps that I wanted to take stopped in the middle of the way, and then retracted hesitantly.

At this time, a familiar voice rang in my ears.

"...You bastard, what are you doing here?"

Kamijou didn't turn his head, but just said something troubled.

"Limited time sale...it's over."

He rubbed his hands and looked at the empty shop with regret.As if he didn't know where to put his hands, he breathed warmly into his palms.

"I planned to rush out to buy items in the morning, but I didn't expect it to be delayed by Yoshikawa and Misaka sister for so long... When I came here, the sale had already ended, what a pity..."

A plastic bag containing apples was stretched out in front of his eyes, making Kamijou stunned for a moment.He turned his head to look at the brown-haired girl beside him, Misaka Mikoto stared at him with some displeasure, and then complained.

"I knew you idiot would say that, take it!"

Kamijou took the plastic bag in a daze. The apples looked very fresh. When he opened the bag, a fresh and sweet fragrance came over his face, and there were tiny snow powders still remaining on the fruit.

Looking at Mikoto, a thin layer of snow has already accumulated on the shoulders of this brown-haired girl, probably because she has been waiting here for quite a while without an umbrella.

——In order to wait for the self who will appear at an unknown time, Mikoto has been standing here.

……

"I, I just passed by, I didn't stand here just to wait for you!"

I don't know if it was because of the cold, but Mikoto's face turned a faint red.She shoved the plastic bag roughly into Kamijou's arms, and was about to turn around and leave angrily.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, Mikoto turned her head angrily and shouted to Kamijou.

"Ah, you bastard - the tram fare, the money to buy apples, and the compensation for abandoning me without authorization, you have to pay it off in another day!!"

——It’s not that Kamijou really wants to pay off these debts, but it’s just an excuse to help out with confidence.

Even if this feeling cannot be answered.

Even if that guy can't understand his own mind at all.

Mikoto turned her back and hid her crying face deeply.The complicated and sad feelings were resolutely erased by her in the next second, and she returned to the original Misaka Mikoto.

However, I still want to cry.

Because that incomprehensible guy named Kamijou Touma gently tugged on her sleeve at that moment.

"Misaka, you... are really an idiot."

Kamijou said with a smile.

"I don't want...to be said that by a real idiot."

Mikoto choked up and lowered her head.

Then, in the next second, Kamijou's palm covered her head and stroked it lightly a few times.

Behind Misaka, he said.

"Thank you. And—"

"I am leaving."

The last sentence was swept away by the sudden cold air current, and the ending disappeared in the confused night wind.

Miqin turned her head in a jerk, the temperature on her head had disappeared without a trace, and there was no one behind her.

Among the bustling crowd, no one stopped.

The boy named Kamijou Touma disappeared abruptly without leaving any trace as if he had evaporated in the air.

——As if, never existed.

------

……

After passing by the bus station, I did not choose to get on the bus.

Even though the snow was getting heavier, I didn't give up my intention of hiking.

Gradually, away from the street surrounded by warm lights, I moved my two legs that had been frozen and unconscious, and walked non-stop.

As if he had suddenly stepped into the darkness of the night, his whole body was shrouded in misty blackness.I can't see anything, but I don't want to confirm or identify something with my eyes.

The snow fell on the body and accumulated a thick layer.The coldness and numbness gradually coiled around his body like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, and he even had the illusion that his body no longer belonged to him.

After passing by the guardhouse countless times, the dim lights did not bring him the slightest warmth.

Lifting his stiff neck, he looked up at the building.Then, he took out a piece of crumpled letter paper soaked in snow water from his pocket.

[Respectfully, Your Excellency Kamijou Touma. 】

Slowly moving forward with heavy steps, he came around the corner.In front of him was a small promenade where bicycles and motorcycles were parked, and he squeezed through it with difficulty, helping the crooked vehicle to rest.

[I don’t know when you will see this letter, it may be several weeks or months after you open the envelope, but I still hope you can understand the meaning of this letter I wrote. 】

He entered the dimly lit lobby, where modernist oil paintings hung on one wall and a dusty Mount Fuji on the other.In the empty room, only the sound of his footsteps was particularly clear.

[The ranking floating plan, this is an extremely bad activity planned by some high-level officials of Academy City.In this plan, the residents of the original Academy City were divided into six levels from Lv0 to 5, and as long as the challenge to the high-ranking person was successful, the original level order would be adjusted accordingly. 】

He pressed the three elevator buttons and waited for the opportunity to go upstairs.

With a crisp ding-dong sound, the elevator door slowly opened.He walked into the elevator and pressed the button for the sixth floor with a very familiar movement.

The sixth floor of the general hospital is the inpatient department.

[Once the plan is implemented, it is estimated that the original order and system of Academy City will completely collapse.Although my personal emotion is to expect to see the birth of this scene, but as expected——I still cannot forgive this plan, the implementation of the evil plan to take away my mother. 】

【I don't expect you to do anything, and I don't object to something you're about to do.Just giving you the facts, that's all. 】

His hand holding the letter was drooping, because most of the handwriting was soaked in it and could not be read clearly.But on the last line of the letter, the name of the sender was clearly signed.

【—Zenzaki. 】

Kamijou Touma was once his greatest enemy.

In his letter, he explained the situation of the "rank floating plan", from which Kamijou understood a fact: there will be an unprecedented riot in Academy City.

Probably almost everyone in Academy City will be deceived by this plan, and desperately want to raise their level.The incompetent will challenge lv1, and lv1 will challenge lv2, such vicious events will eventually bring them together to the highest level of Academy City - lv5.

Then, the biggest target, the one that the entire Academy City wants to kill——

"You don't even need to think about this kind of thing."

He got out of the elevator, and the sixth floor was already there.

In the quiet corridor with only a few small lights on, the small blackboard hanging on the side of the corridor seems to be written on the precautions for winter health care in order to cater to the season, and a few big snowflakes are drawn on it.Next to the blackboard is a row of wheelchairs neatly arranged.

All in all, the familiarity has gotten to the extreme.Nothing has changed, it's still the same.

He walked down the corridor, taking a deliberately light step this time.The apple he was carrying was bouncing restlessly in the plastic bag, as if he was disturbed and restless.

He stopped in front of an unnumbered ward and walked in.

……

black.black.black.

In the ward with no lights on, the dull and depressing colors surged like a sweeping wave.

Even though there was a little neon light outside, the darkness that could not be illuminated still filled the room.

His hand stopped on the switch, and he didn't press it for a long time.

Then he spoke.

"I...have thought about it for a long time."

Facing the silent darkness, he seemed to be talking to himself.

"I'm thinking—is it a wrong choice to meet you? From the 14th to the 27th. To be honest, this kind of development has become too unreasonable, and I don't want to watch it anymore."

He leaned against the wall.

"Is this really good? What are the consequences of doing this? When I realized it, I was already thinking about such issues unconsciously. Maybe I was regretting that the person who was walking with me was you, but...it's already too late. You This guy is undoubtedly a definite existence, really, an existence that can disturb people's minds."

He smiled slightly, then tilted his head.

"The ranking floating plan is an opportunity to let the low-ranking ones challenge the high-ranking ones. If you think about it normally, everyone in Academy City will think about how to improve their ranks and try to climb up? Then, the ultimate goal is—to learn The garden city is the strongest, and one side can pass."

He locked the door with his backhand, and his tone suddenly became tough.

"However, this time there is a random number."

"The purpose of Academy City is to take back Accelerator, so as to play the role of the ultimate weapon to suppress the situation. As long as Accelerator is not defeated, the dominant position of Academy City will not change. The strips are hemp."

There seemed to be subtle breath fluctuations in the darkness in front of him, and he was keenly aware of this, but he just sighed and continued speaking lightly.

"That is to say."

"As long as it is announced that Kamijou Touma was the strongest in Academy City, all the hatred can be concentrated on Kamijou Touma. In this way, Accelerator does not have to leave."

"—Replacing Accelerator and becoming a victim."

This time, the air in the room suddenly twisted, and the black clumps began to distort, disintegrate, and reunite unevenly. Some strong emotional fluctuations were transmitted through the air.

Then, he flipped the light switch.

To the dark side, he said.

With a vicious tone, with the most angry emotions in my life.

"—Do you think I will let you do this? Incompetent."

In front of Accelerator who turned on the light switch, Kamijou sat on the edge of the hospital bed with a look of astonishment on his face.

The white light shone from above, shining on the two people in the room.

The white-haired and red-eyed psychic who just entered the room a few seconds ago maintained the position of turning on the light.

And the hedgehog-headed boy who has been listening to Accelerator's words in the dark.

Kamijou lowered his eyes. "It seems that you...know it?"

"Ha... Who do you think I am?" Yifang Accelerator responded bluntly.

Just a few days ago, Kamijou had already made up his mind to leave in place of Accelerator.

After going through the school leaving procedures at school today, I said goodbye to Misaka Mikoto. When I passed the general hospital on the way, I was worried about Accelerator, who was still in a coma, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect that the other party left for me. Empty beds.

Kamijou quietly looked at the first one.

Although his whole body was still covered with bandages, and he looked very weak, his sharp eyes and ferocious expression all released an invisible sense of coercion.

"I thought you were gone," Kamijou said.

"That's why I came back to beat you bastard."

Accelerator approached with a cane, and then spoke dissatisfiedly.

"Grit your teeth."

"what?"

Before Kamijou could react, Accelerator held onto the edge of the hospital bed with one hand, and——

Raising his crutches, he mercilessly hit Shangtiao on the head.

Kamijou let out a dull yelp after being stunned for a moment in pain from the sudden impact of a heavy object.But because he was in the hospital, he could only roll on the ground with his head in his arms and howl a few times in a low voice.

"It will really kill people!! If you really want to hit, please wrap the crutches with a quilt before you start!!"

Was kicked by Accelerator. "Whoever cares about you."

To be honest, the first striker didn't seem to be too ruthless, although on the surface it seemed that he was really angry to the extreme, but he would restrain his strength intentionally or unintentionally.But—for a patient who has not even recovered from a serious illness, even if the intensity is not reduced, it will not cause any actual harm.

After a long time, seeming to be bored, Fang Accelerator stood up, walked to the hospital bed and sat down with a still unhappy expression.

Kamijou breathed a sigh of relief and sat up slowly.He rubbed the place where he was kicked and beaten just now. Fortunately, there were only bruises, and there was nothing serious about it.

suddenly.

In the silent ward, the first one spoke.

"...There are still 11 days left."

Kamijou's expression gradually became serious, and he replied.

"Ah, only 11 days left."

11 days, the remaining days until the real start of the ranking floating plan, and also - the decisive countdown to the remaining life.

I'm afraid that with this plan, there will be an all-out war with the magic side—— maybe that's the case.No matter how you settle, you can't avoid the most dangerous situation.

Originally wanted to bear all this on behalf of the first person, but since the intention has been discovered by the other party, there is no other way.Kamijou gave a troubled sigh when he heard Accelerator say.

"I'm getting out of here."

Suddenly, Accelerator said.

"Where are you going?" Kamijou asked reflexively.

The first person hesitated for a while, as if hesitating whether to speak or not.

"A place far away."

Said and not said is the same.

But as long as you get an answer, it is a very meaningful thing.

"That place," Kamijou asked again, "do I know?"

At this time, Accelerator had already stood up from the edge of the bed and walked to the door leaning on his crutches.

No luggage, nothing to bring, any passenger will not be as casual as the first one.But Kamijou didn't find it strange, because Accelerator's white figure was extremely thin, as if he would be lost in the darkness in the next second.

The first one stared at him with red pupils, said.

"do not know."

After saying this, he took a step forward.

There was no hesitation.

As if there would be no turning back.

Kamijou stared blankly at the gradually disappearing figure at the door.

To his surprise—the moment before leaving, that flat voice sounded again.

"However, if you follow along, you will know."

Hearing this sentence, the hedgehog-haired boy hurriedly got off the bed, stood up, and ran to the door with big strides.

It's a pity that there is no one in the dark hospital corridor, only the light of the elevator flickers lonely.

It should have left, Accelerator.
