[Magic Forbidden Last Fantasy Access] Disorder

34m away, the penultimate 12th steel bar.

Like a tattered flag fluttering in the wind, Kamijou's rucksack was hanging there pitifully.Moreover, it is supported by only one strap, and it will fall down with just a slight push.

(It turned out that Accelerator was telling the truth... I was relieved.)

Kamijou carefully pulled the backpack over to his side, and sighed with a wry smile.

To be honest, Fang Accelerator is a vile companion who doesn't change his face when he lies, even if it's a hypocritical lie, he can tell it in a very upright manner.That's why Kamijou was so worried about the veracity of what the first person said.

Kamijou was well aware of Accelerator's intention to drive him away.

However, I don't understand why the first person would do this.

But as long as you find the "portable terminal", you may be able to understand what happened.This crucial clue in Accelerator's words was firmly grasped by Kamijou.

From the meeting on the 14th until now, the first person has attached great importance to the existence of the "portable terminal". Although Kamijou has not asked the reason for it, he probably understands that it is a very critical device for the whole incident.

Feeling the cool touch of the display screen with his fingertips, Kamijou took the portable terminal out of his backpack.

The screen was cracked due to falling from a high altitude, but it still looks usable.

Kamijou held the portable terminal tightly in his palm, tracing it with his eyes as if trying to crush it.The eyes staring at the screen wavered slightly, but finally he made up his mind and clenched his teeth.

Accelerator's secrets probably all lie in this small device.

Among the information left, I don't know how many of them were the first ones who wanted Kamijou to know.Perhaps, there is still the most important information left because it was too late to clear it.

What Kamijou was going to do next was no different from cutting open the abdomen and messing with the bloody contents.It is both an investigation of the truth and an unquestionable blasphemy.

So, can I really check the contents of this terminal?

(Haah... what am I worrying about.)

Kamijou shook his head lightly.

(To be honest, although I am very sorry for Accelerator's right to privacy, it is something he is forced to do, right? Besides, according to the personality of the first person who is bored in his heart even when encountering difficult things, if he wants to know the whole picture, he only has to You can rely on your own strength.)

Finally stretching his sore neck, Kamijou turned his eyes to the screen again.

Then, click on the inbox.

Since it is an investigation, let's start with the emails that are most likely to hide information.If you're lucky, you might be able to see some of the first person's private emails... such as couple text messages and the like.

I don't know why there is some inexplicable tension in my heart, and Kamijou's mood at this time is like an adventurer who is exploring treasure, both excited and worried.Trying to calm down his pounding heart, he began to check the content of the email.

What he didn't expect was how hopeless and irreparable the consequences of his actions would be to the current situation.

……

——Kamijou Touma, for the next 21 seconds, saw something that should never be seen.

……

------

What is the meaning of living for?

If the only meaning of existence is to meet the final demise.

Then.

What are you living for——

This question has been thought over and over again by countless thinkers and philosophers in the past thousands of years.If we want to integrate these points of view, I am afraid that a hundred thick books in the district cannot fully explain them.

So, it's better not to think about it.

Since it is a journey with no results, it is better to give up starting from the beginning.

However, Accelerator has now started such meaningless thinking.

It's not for the future life, nor for the clear benefit of oneself, but simply thinking like this.

In the chaotic consciousness, in the flickering world, the first one was thinking hard about the meaning of his existence till now.This kind of approach is just to relieve the severe tearing pain from the body that can almost make people faint.

—was being beaten.

This is the status quo of Accelerator, and it is a cruel reality without mercy.

I was lying on the edge of the round table in a state of embarrassment, and the hypoxic symptoms caused by the open wound on the abdomen and the bleeding on the back came in waves.And this weak, dying body is being kicked mercilessly by Zanzaki. The reason why the first person has not fallen to death at this time is because he is holding on to the edge of the platform—it is just such a final struggle. .

a few minutes ago.

Accelerator pointed his gun at Zizaki and pulled the trigger, but that did nothing to delay time.The man with the iron body grinned and took a big step forward, jumping in front of Accelerator in an instant!

The arm was knocked away in an instant, even so, the first one adjusted the angle of the wrist joint in an attempt to shoot at extremely close range.

However, it can't be done.

In this tiny gap, Zakizaki grabbed Accelerator's arm violently, and then easily——

——Removed the shoulder joint of this superpower user.

"Cough...!!"

Accelerator's nerves were instantly crushed by an overwhelming dull pain, and a misty white light appeared in front of his eyes.The sensory world seemed to be soaked in turbid cold water, and only the pain seemed extraordinarily real in that numb coldness.

Accelerator didn't even have time to catch his breath, and Zanzaki's elbow hit the first person's abdomen that was still oozing blood with great force.

If he was hit by that metal arm, his internal organs would probably be crushed.Even using the superb medical skills of Netherland Chasing Soul may not be able to recover, so this blow was fatal to Accelerator at this time.

(How could I let you bastard...)

Accelerator reluctantly arched his body backwards. Although this involved wounds all over his body and caused unpleasant pain, he couldn't care less in this life-and-death situation.

(...Successful ah ah ah!!)

The first person gritted his teeth and shifted his body's center of gravity by a large margin. At the same time, he moved a few steps away from the steel pillar by his side with one hand.Although he narrowly escaped Zanzaki's attack, this series of actions placed a considerable burden on Accelerator.

In this short distance, the two returned to the confrontation.

Accelerator leaned weakly against the steel pillar and panted heavily, his red eyes half-opened due to confusion were full of exhaustion, and even the white hair on his forehead was stained with blood, sticking messily to his forehead.One arm hangs limply due to a dislocated joint, and even the only weapon was knocked down by Zanzaki.

In contrast, Zanzaki is still calm and calm.Accelerator's attack hardly hurt him at all, and it was clear at a glance who won and who lost.

Even so, the first person still stubbornly maintained his standing posture, always guarding Zanzaki's next move with a vigilant look, clinging to the last chance of survival and refusing to let go.

Facing Accelerator like this, Zanzaki finally spoke.

"—What do you think is the meaning of life?"

This is an extremely inappropriate question for the battlefield and for the enemy.

Even Academy City's strongest brain couldn't understand the intention of the beret man, Accelerator tilted his head in confusion, and then uttered a monosyllable of surprise.

"what?"

"It seems that there is no answer, or—never thought about it?"

From a distance of only a few meters, the hideous scar on Zakizaki's face was pulled along with the movement of his lips, making him look extremely frightened.

"The meaning of my life is to destroy this disgustingly hypocritical city!! Even though the surface is covered with a shallow fake shell, the rotten nature of this land is still completely unchanged! This kind of fake The best ending is the one that disappears with the explosion, and as the number one in Academy City, you who are used to seeing this kind of filth—you should understand this very well, right?!"

Veins twitched violently, and his veins swelled, Zanzaki roared in a deep and angry voice.This should be the idea he has always had, and it is precisely this idea that led to the occurrence of this series of actions.

But this will to destroy Academy City is absolutely unshakable, as firm as a rock.

So, Accelerator murmured.

"Ah, I thought the same thing."

He said so with a bored expression.

"Academy City, missions, etc., honestly bored me to the core. When I was free, I used to curse how this shit-like story unfolded, and even wanted to disturb this shabby place. In a sense, maybe I get along better with you than that incompetent person.”

Accelerator shook his head lightly and sighed.

"But...it really doesn't work, it doesn't work at all."

Zanzaki looked at the first person who seemed to be talking to himself with a stern look, and then said.

"Another prevarication with the excuse of different goals? This kind of old-fashioned preaching..."

However it was interrupted.

Accelerator interrupted.

"That's why you don't understand anything, Zakizaki-kun. My purpose is indeed the same as yours, but since it's you, you should be aware of it—the unwillingness to be robbed by others."

The white-haired and red-eyed psychic glanced at him indifferently, with a usual look of contempt.

"Destroying Academy City—as expected, I still can't tolerate people other than me doing this. It's neither an instruction nor a rational thing. It's just that I'm very unhappy with you bastard. "

So it's impossible to go down the same path.

Accelerator's attitude is like this, even though he hates Academy City terribly, even if he holds hatred, he is still unwilling to join hands with Zanzaki.

"In the end, I still didn't want to fight back. It seems that my position is quite firm. But...do you really think that you are completely against our side?"

"You bastard...what are you talking about..."

Zanzaki was silent for a few seconds and then chuckled a few times, an ugly smile appeared on that terrifying face.

Facing Accelerator whose face was gradually fading, he said the most decisive sentence.

"—Mission number XM73, this is an order you received from Academy City, right? You kid... You are a complete traitor who never stood on the side of Imagine Breaker!!"

……

"How come... this is impossible...!!"

What appeared in front of his eyes was the truth of the fact that made Kamijou dumbfounded and his heart felt as if he was on ice.

After seeing "that thing" in Accelerator's inbox, a chill hit him like never before.

"No... there must be a mistake somewhere, one, Accelerator is a traitor or something... this kind of thing...!"

But, that's what it is.

Kamijou's anxious murmurs became weaker and weaker, and he looked at the numbered email in the portable terminal helplessly.

"Impossible..."

Due to the unprecedented impact, Kamijou could only spit out such simple words that wanted to deceive himself.

He grabbed his hair in distress, and then punched the steel bar heavily.Although there was a faint pain in his hand, Kamijou didn't feel it at all.

Finally, he glanced at the screen of the portable terminal in despair.

What is written there is that Academy City is number one, and Accelerator has received instructions and tasks from Academy City since the 14th.

Mission number XM73, monitor Kamijou Touma and act together with him, eliminate him at the end of the battle and before the start of the ranking floating plan.

——And on the 26th, that is, today, Kamijou Touma was killed.

Accelerator, whom he has always believed in, and Accelerator, who walked with him and gave him great support, are just a temporary appearance for the purpose of carrying out the task.

The first one was actually looking for a chance to kill Kamijou and treated him with the coldest attitude.Kamijou Touma is just an accessory to the mission, a goal that needs to be solved at the end.

Even the peaceful but warm life they spent together was just a product of Accelerator's disguise.

Kamijou trembled and rested his hands on his forehead, his body trembling with anxiety was crumbling in the icy air of nothingness.A painful gasp escaped his clenched teeth.

——From the very beginning, Accelerator was not on Kamijou Touma's side.

From the very beginning, he was his enemy.
