"Roswaal...actually protected that Beast Tamer?"

That's what Accelerator wanted to say.

His ability is not only to manipulate the direction of energy, but also to observe the direction and fluctuation of energy. In this way, relying on Accelerator's powerful calculation ability, he can even analyze the identity of the opponent through the moves.

The fire magic that just saved the monster user Meli was almost identical in power to the magic used in the sparring session with Accelerator that day.

In other words, Roswaal's magic.

"This...this can't be possible, right?!"

Upon hearing this conclusion, Emilia gasped in astonishment.

"How could Roswaal possibly protect that Beastmaster? Besides, wasn't he at the mansion the whole time until just now?"

"That kind of thing is none of my business."

Accelerator gave a cold, smirking smile.

He whispered in the most somber tone.

"Everything depends on your answer, you makeup bastard. It's up to you whether you live or die."

He means it.

Emilia and Hatsune Miku immediately understood this, and Accelerator's tone was filled with ruthless killing intent.

If Roswaal were to admit now that he was indeed the one who sheltered that Beast Tamer, then the number one monster would show him no mercy in a true massacre.

He will not hesitate at all.

Even so, Roswaal's expression remained relaxed throughout.

"So actually, there's no problem at all, right?"

He chuckled and picked up a finger.

"Yifang-kun, you may not know much about magic yet, but I'll explain it to you in this way so you can understand."

"Although I am the strongest court magician in this kingdom, that doesn't mean there aren't other powerful magicians, you know?"

"In the country of Lugnica, there are quite a few mages who have cultivated other attributes to their extremes. Although they can cultivate all three attributes to their extremes like I can, I think there are quite a few who have simply cultivated the fire attribute to its extremes, right?"

"Besides, even if you kill me, you won't gain anything. I don't know what that monster wielder's purpose is, but if you kill me like this, there might be even more enemies attacking this area in the future."

"So, what I'm trying to say, you should understand completely, right?"

If we just take down Roswaal like this, some other trouble might break out.

Moreover, even if Roswaal really was the one who saved Merry, he hasn't shown any other threatening behavior yet, at least not in the short term.

More importantly, almost all of the system's task prompts are now located within this house.

If Roswaal were killed like this, it might paralyze the entire estate.

Accelerator had no idea what changes would occur to the system's mission at that time, and he had no intention of trying anything like that.

In any case, he must complete his mission in this world as soon as possible, and then return to Academy City to see Last Order.

So he needs to calm down now.

"...It was agreed upon beforehand."

He lowered the dark muzzle of his gun.

Accelerator stared intently into Roswaal's eyes and spoke in a threatening tone.

"If I find out any more bullshit related to you, you'd better watch your head."

"I don't care if you're a king's magician or a court magician or anything like that, none of that matters to me."

"You better remember this—unless you really want to be beaten into a pile of unwanted trash."

He made no further move.

Accelerator put away his black pistol, casually placed his hands at his sides, and left the room under the watchful eyes of the two girls.

Only Roswaal still had a smiling expression on his face.

"This is quite an interesting situation."

——————————————————————————————————————————

It's already the morning of the second day.

After that, Ram and Subaru Natsuki returned to their residence and heard that the residents of Aram Village wanted to hold a banquet to celebrate everything and had deliberately invited Accelerator to attend, but the first-ranked Level 5 esper directly refused the invitation.

He was now casually sitting in the living room, drinking canned coffee.

"You're being too reckless."

"So what? If you don't press that clown bastard like this, what do you expect him to say?"

"However, the reality is that even when you pressed him, he wouldn't say anything..."

Hatsune Miku and Accelerator sat together in the living room, drinking beverages.

On one side is bottled black coffee, and on the other is lime juice.

Hatsune Miku shook her head and continued drinking her juice, while her legs, clad in white stockings, swayed back and forth under the table.

"But speaking of which, wasn't that monster user a girl named Melly? Why would such a young child do something like this, killing someone..."

"That's something only someone who's always lived in a greenhouse would say."

"What? Why are you saying such things about people again..."

With a slightly dissatisfied murmur, Hatsune Miku continued.

"However, if that's the case, and both attacks were aimed at Miss Emilia, wouldn't that mean there might be a third one...?"

"Who knows? Even if they come back, so what? We'll just smash them all to pieces."

"It takes a really strong personality to say something like that..."

Accelerator pursed his lips and continued drinking his coffee.

However, he soon discovered that he had finished all the coffee.

"The coffee I brought is almost gone... Ugh, what a hassle."

"Drinking canned coffee all the time isn't good for your health. Wouldn't it be better to drink more healthy fruit juice?"

"You're so long-winded, you don't need to say it."

Accelerator simply placed his right foot on his left leg and rested his chin on his right hand as he pondered.

Then, at times like this.

Footsteps sounded beside him.

"Lord Yifang, please enjoy your meal."

Immediately afterwards, a steaming hot drink was placed in front of him.

It's coffee.

"…What?"

He couldn't help but frown and look at the person next to him.

She is a demon girl with blue hair.

"Rem?"

"Yes, Hatsune Miku-sama, Accelerator-sama, it's Rem."

"No, that's not what I meant!"

Hatsune Miku stood up with some surprise and looked at the maid girl in front of her.

The changes are too great.

Logically speaking, Rem should have been very repressed towards them before, so why is she suddenly acting like this now?

and--

"Isn't there no coffee in this world?"

"Yes, although Rem didn't know exactly what coffee was, she studied the liquid in the jars that Accelerator threw away each time and eventually found a fruit with a similar taste in the nearby forest, and that's how she made this drink."

"Wow, that's amazing! And they actually went through so much trouble just to make coffee...!"

"As long as the leader is satisfied in the end, that's enough."

Despite what the maid girl in front of him said, Accelerator's face showed an expression of utter astonishment.

He couldn't understand why this girl had suddenly changed her attitude so drastically.

Or is this guy just having a mental breakdown because of the curse?

"There is no need to be puzzled by this, Lord Yifang."

Seemingly sensing Accelerator's doubts, Rem chuckled.

She said this.

"Rem's life was saved by Lord Accelerator himself, and it was also Lord Accelerator who defeated the monster user who had cast a curse on Rem."

"Therefore, Rem is truly grateful to Lord Accelerator. Please accept Rem's thanks. From now on, Rem will serve you in the same way she treated Lord Roswaal."

"Wait, wait a minute! This sudden change in attitude is too fast!"

Accelerator's expression didn't change much.

"I didn't go to that monster tamer to save you. We already have a score to settle, don't you understand that?"

"Even so, Rem's life was ultimately saved by Accelerator himself. In any case, Accelerator will always be Rem's savior."

The blue-haired girl bowed deeply with utmost sincerity.

"Please be sure to accept Rem's thanks."

"...Tsk, what a troublesome guy."

For some reason, after seeing this scene...

Hatsune Miku, standing to the side, felt a slight pang of sadness in her heart.

She subconsciously pouted, but said nothing, because she knew Rem was a good girl and was only saying that to repay a debt of gratitude.

But why…

I have this strange feeling inside...

"Then please excuse me, Lord Accelerator."

Rem nodded and continued.

"Because we need to prepare the resources needed to take Emilia to Lugnica in advance, Rem needs to get everything organized."

"In order to ensure that Lady Emilia can successfully participate in the royal selection."

—?!

In that instant, a sense of astonishment overwhelmed me.

Both Accelerator and Hatsune Miku showed expressions of astonishment.

This scene even startled Rem.

"Hatsune Miku! Accelerator! What are you doing?!"

"No, nothing's wrong, Rem."

Hatsune Miku quickly shook her head and smiled, but both of them understood one thing in their hearts.

They knew all too well what that feeling was like.

It's a hint given by the soul system.

Moreover, it focuses on the term 'Wang Xuan'.
