Accel World Vol 3 Chapter 3 (2/2)
”Certainly, as Takumu-kun said, this needs to be handled with care After the news of the 3rd «Healer»'s appearance in the accelerated world is spread, different poill be sche after Kurashi+ma-kun”
After hearing that, Haruyuki also felt unease
He did not think that Chiyuri would easily accept other legion's invitation, however what's said and done, «Nega Nebulas»'s leader is Kuroyukihime who is in no way on friendly terht, and Chiyuri being iion on ht be fished up by the eneh—
”It could happen, that”
After , a treh
”Here, I really need to open up and have a discussion with her”
”Th-That's right”
When they have that discussion, he definitely would not want to be there, and also he felt uneasy about so that exists but couldn't be seen At least before that he need Takumu to find ways to deal with all kinds of developood resolution
—Let's work hard Maximum work hard
With that decision, he held his right fist that was below the table tightly, and at thatunexpected
”Well, anyway, it's a topic that's ten days too early to approach”
”Huh? Te-Ten days? Why wait that long?”
”Why, you say?”
With a slightly dumbfounded expression, the black clothed upperclassman readily answered
”School field trip”
”What!?”
”It should be written in the yearly schedule file distributed during today's homeroom From the Sunday four days later, the new 3rd year students will be going on a one week school field trip The destination is Okinawa, so think about what you want for a gift”
—Okinawa!?
In his brain, Rafute — Mia — Sokisoba[1], those and other words scrolled one after another, but you can't bring those things all the way to Tokyo, so it must be that, that donut like, that is, Sata
”Andagi[2]? But if that is not freshly fried, it's not tasty”
Somehow he had said it out loud, and after Kuroyukihime replied, he snapped back to normal, and hurriedly shook his head
”Wa-Wait a minute please One week!? Then Chiyu's matter can wait no, before that, what about the next weekend's territory battle!?”
«Official Territory Battle», or normally called Territory Battle, occurs every Saturday evening, it is a teaion's area of control
The Black legion, «Nega Nebulas» that Haruyuki belonged to, currently controls Suginainami, but to maintain that control, they have to keep 50 wins of opponent challenges that co territory battle
Team battle's win or loss is determined by either side's total destruction, or if ti number of people, and furthere Recently, Haruyuki was no longer completely shot down like before even if the opponent was a sniper, but that was because he had his leader Kuroyukihi attack power for an attacker there, so he felt at ease
No, even before that, the reason they could er's team in numbers was only when they have three or o out for defense, so this would mean that—
”Wha? You mean, just Taku and I have to handle three enemy opponents?”
”Fumu, well, that is what it means”
After a nonchalant nod, Kuroyukihime swelled the milk tea in her cup
”The ideal way is, if Kurashi+ht overco into a territory battletooteam, you can outdo those three person team”
”YeYeah”
He definitely did not dislike being told that, so Haruyuki showed a subtle smile
”I will put in the effort, but th-then, if that could not happen it could not be helped right We can take it back the week after right”
”No, that's no good”
She turned her head to the side
”This Sugina on it Since it's like this, Haruyuki-kun Defend it till death”
”Defend it till death!?”
Looking at Haruyuki as going to be in tears, Kuroyukihiave an 'Oh dear!' kind of smile
And then, suddenly said an incredible line
”Let's see Then, let's do this If next week's defense is successful, as a reward I will grant you one wish It can be anything How about that?”
”Reward!?”
Suddenly, Kuroyukihime's words that could only be like a physical attack hit him directly between his eyes, and Haruyuki leaned back on his chair He dangerously recovered his balance, and returned to the front with a Clank, with both of his hands shaking
Anything? What is anything!? All I can eat of school meals? No, that is possible for shops outside school too?
Nono, it's not li out soetting direct connection Furtherth of one meter, no, 50cm, no, 30cm is also possible? Is it possible!?
”Ah, let me warn you, a wish beyond h the nose”
”WhWho could do that!!”
With his pink fantasy fully wiped, Haruyuki slid down on his chair
After shaking his head lightly hts returned to normal
”AnAnyway, I will put out ive Chiyu the basic lectures”
”Good After that, I will give her joining request for the legion”
At that point, Kuroyukihie of her view
”So, I should return to the student council roo you want to talk about?”
”Ah, I had”
After nodding, Haruyuki quickly continued
”No, it's not soh The new first year students, there doesn't seem to be a Burst Linker in it, just that”
”You also checked huh I also looked at the h the school's Local Net earlier, indeed the addition was Kurashi+ma-kun «Lime Bell» only”
As she said that, there see mixed in her tone, and Haruyuki suddenly remembered Kuroyukihi school entrance ceremony So he timidly asked about that
”Ah Senpai, after you finished your speech, did you notice someone in the first years?”
Then Kuroyukihime made a ”Fu” wry smile, and shook her head
”YouTo say it strongly I felt a presence, so like that”
”P-Presence?”
”You should also have experienced it In the «Duel Field», so the scope at you, like that”
That was the highest rank unpleasant feeling for Haruyuki in the accelerated world, so his face involuntarily stiffened, but soon after Kuroyukihiesture
”In the end, there were no new Burst Linkers in the first year students, so it's my hallucination Well then, I will excuse myself here”
”Ah I a home as well”
Haruyuki had already becoe to use the lounge, but he did not have the guts to remain in this fancy space by himself He stood up after Kuroyukihi bin, then an incoherent thought crossed his mind
—That earlier «Anything reward», could that also apply to Taku?
No, no way, he wanted to deny it like that, but to Kuroyukihime for Brain Burst related matters, she treated Haruyuki and Taku hard during territory battle, then it would not be strange to be for both of them
—But, even so, for Taku who is singlefar out of senpai
—But that guy also hardcore worshi+ps senpai He used «Master» to call her too For a knight, Taku is way more appropriate Senpai would also not be dissatisfied with it
Following to the left behind of Kuroyukihi towards the cafeteria entrance, with his brain giving out stea, Haruyuki involuntarily said
”Ah That is, senpai”
”Nn?”
Looking at the profile of the white face that turned around with glossy hair swaying, after he opened and closed his mouth a few times, Haruyuki fearfully inquired
”Earlier, the talk about two princes and one princess That, hoould senpai decide?”
Then, Kuroyukihime put up a fearless smile and instantly replied
”I don't even have to think about it Fight with me, I will pick the winner”
And then, while walking, she extended her left hand index and ht at Haruyuki's heart
Hiii'
His back cowered, and after stubbing his toes on the leg of the cafeteria long table, Haruyuki again realized
Having strange suspicions of this person is absolutely less
