"Hey, who came up with 'Misaka Airport' for a name? What kind of idiot?"
"He said it was fine!"
"If he told you to die, would you?"
"He didn't!"
Nunotaba Shinobu was rallying the researchers to assign names. Experiments were easy for them, but naming? That was a challenge.
Hence, bizarre names like Misaka Airport…
Boom~
The lab's ceiling was ripped open, a ferocious gust pouring through the breach, turning the room into chaos in an instant.
When the blinding hurricane subsided, a white-haired girl stood in the lab.
"Accelerator? Why are you…?"
Nunotaba's expression shifted from disbelief to realization. This was no friendly visit.
"Oh~ You're the new person in charge? Huh? That's… Number One?"
Accelerator's gaze swept the lab, locking onto Misaka Kyoko with intense focus.
The worn clothes, the faint scratches—they matched her memory perfectly.
"She's not Number One… She's Kyoko, Misaka Kyoko!"
Nunotaba argued loudly, her fear of Accelerator turning to resolve in her eyes.
"Kyoko? Hah… Hahaha, you gave a toy a name? What are you, a grade-schooler? Hahaha…"
Accelerator laughed mockingly, pointing at Misaka Kyoko, who sat lifelessly like a doll.
Her eyes dripped with derision.
From their earlier fight, she'd confirmed these things had human bodies but were mere puppets.
"Shut up! They can become human. I won't let you insult them anymore…"
Nunotaba's legs trembled. She knew provoking Accelerator could paint the lab red with her blood.
Yet she stood her ground.
"…Hmph. Where's the guy who brought her? The experiment's halt has to do with him, right? Tell me… and I'll let you off!"
Accelerator had come to wreck the lab, but seeing Misaka Kyoko, she decided to go straight for Samuel.
"I don't know!"
Whoosh~
A gust erupted from Accelerator's casual wave, slamming Nunotaba against a large glass wall.
"Cough, cough~"
"One more chance!"
"I really don't know!"
Another hurricane swept through, knocking researchers to the floor.
"Speak!"
Accelerator appeared inches from Nunotaba's face, her blood-red eyes reflecting a hellish scene, inducing hallucinations.
Terror gripped Nunotaba, invisible forces seeming to tear at her flesh.
"I really don't know!"
Her words froze time itself under Accelerator's overwhelming presence, every cell in her body screaming under the pressure.
"…Tch, small fry!"
Accelerator retracted her aura, confirming Nunotaba truly didn't know.
Killing her would just be pointless rage.
"Misaka Kyoko, huh? I'm taking her. Tell that bastard to come get her!"
Accelerator sauntered toward Misaka Kyoko.
"Stop!"
Nunotaba struggled to rise, but her body, battered by the earlier impact, had no strength left.
"Hey, kid…"
Samuel's voice echoed through the lab.
"You were watching me, you bastard!"
From the moment she entered, Accelerator felt eyes on her, so she'd tried to force Samuel out.
"You're overthinking it. I don't have time to stalk you—it's just a coincidence… Accelerator! No need to hassle these folks or the kids. If you're not afraid to die, come find me! Kihara Gensei sent you an address, right? I'm right here!"
"Hmph… Hahahaha, challenging me?"
"You've got it backward—you're challenging me! If you've got the guts, come! I can make you a true Level 6. Of course, there's a price—nothing compared to Level 6's value, but you might not like it!"
Boom~
A gust from Accelerator's hand shattered the speaker Samuel's voice came from, her expression wild and unrestrained.
"Who do you think you're talking to? I'm Accelerator! This… is a one-way street now~"
Vectors wrapped in a hurricane formed wings of wind, and Accelerator blasted another hole in the ceiling.
…
"Hah… She'll come, no doubt!"
A virtual screen formed before Samuel, locked onto Accelerator soaring at high speed.
Light coalesced behind him into a feminine figure, wings of light illuminating the lab.
"Thanks, Aiwass. Saved me some charging fees!"
"Cut the jokes. How will you handle Accelerator? She's a key part of Aleister's plan."
Aiwass's ethereal, chaotic voice rang in Samuel's mind.
"Hah~ Hey, Aiwass, aren't you Aleister's partner? Spilling his plans like that—is that okay?"
"Aleister's plan is intriguing, but smooth progress is dull, and so is he. You, though—you're interesting. I'm investing in you."
Aiwass's gaze settled on the beautiful figure in Samuel's arms and the… adorable pervert at his feet.
"Don't expect dividends~ If you're not satisfied, I'll have to pay you in flesh."
Samuel kissed the docile Tiamat beside him, then pressed Nyarlathotep harder into the ground with his foot.
"Hah… Two Material Worlds? Where'd you get them?"
The Mother Goddess of Creation, an ancient deity of the earth, akin to the "Earth Material" in Kabbalistic lore.
"Know how Zeus got his throne in Greek myth?"
"…Accelerator's coming. How will you deal with her?"
Samuel answered a question with a question. Aiwass glanced at the screen, where Accelerator had reached the rooftop.
"Go, Nyaruko-chan… Grab her for me. Next time, I might get rougher~"
Samuel lifted his foot, smiling at Nyarlathotep.
"Mm~"
