Comprehensive: Beginning with the Killer Queen

"A passing hero?"

Accelerator's voice came again, but this time it was no longer hoarse like before, but full of mockery and coldness.

Although it was a soliloquy intended to affirm oneself, it instead carried with it a subtle sense of doubt.

However, it may be precisely because this kind of emotion does not appear often that Accelerator now has a rare bit of humanity.

"So he's just an idiot who doesn't understand the situation..."

The frantic expression on his face also lessened a little.

Anyone who comes into contact with the truth about this city will not expect a hero to emerge.

To bear this word, in addition to shining courage and unyielding will, one must also have the strength to ignore all shackles.

"So, are you here to stop this evil party of mine?"

Seeing that things were becoming interesting, Accelerator did not move forward, but looked at Roland with interest.

He planned to wait until this guy made a weak and childish declaration like Misaka Mikoto did, then crush him with his absolute strength and then laugh at him from a superior position.

At that time, this fool who calls himself a hero will reveal...

"maybe."

Roland blinked.

"what?"

The smile on Accelerator's face suddenly froze, and his expression changed slightly, revealing a cruel and cold look.

"Don't be so surprised. Didn't I say from the beginning that I'm a hero out of interest?"

Roland shrugged and replied calmly.

"Although the identity is genuine, the specific situation must be treated specifically. I still need to consult the person concerned before deciding whether to intervene. Can you wait for me for a minute or two?"

After making this declaration, Roland turned around, as if he was not worried about the enemy in front of him at all.

And just as he thought, perhaps because he had never expected such a development, the white-haired boy standing there did not make any move.

So, under Accelerator's murderous gaze that was like a poisonous snake wrapped around his body, Roland, holding Misaka Mikoto in his arms, calmly walked up to Misaka Mikoto.

This strange development gave Misaka Mikoto a bad feeling.

Because at this moment, she suddenly remembered the meaningful second half of what Shokuhou Misaki said to her that day.

——When you are rescued from a desperate situation, you often have to pay a heavy price.

"Misaka-san, are you ready?"

"Prepare?"

"Of course, if there weren't enough benefits, I wouldn't bother getting involved in this kind of thing. I just stopped by to take a look because I'm close by."

This is a lie.

The reason why Accelerator failed to receive follow-up orders from the researcher was because when Roland went to inject the virus, he sent all those guys into the rebirth pool.

Roland, who has been coveting Misaka Network for a long time, has been keeping a close eye on the direction of the Absolute Ability User Plan after its restart. Even if Misaka Mikoto completely fails, he will not sit idly by and watch Accelerator continue.

But since there was an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone by using useful information, Roland didn't intend to pretend to be a gentleman.

"Nothing is that simple in this world, you know? Misaka-san can move forward with courage, but as the leader of Blue Dream Company, I have to consider a lot more."

Roland sighed in mock distress.

"You're interfering with Academy City's plans without permission, and you have to be the enemy of the first one. Then you have to be responsible for the treatment and care of Misaka Sister. This is a huge and time-consuming project."

"I just saved this child. This is my reward for our friendship. But even if you're a hero, you can't keep working for nothing, right?"

"If I do this for free every day, I will be bankrupt in another 600 years."

Doesn't this have absolutely no impact?
Misaka Mikoto's expression was a little stiff.

But she also knew that although Roland's words sounded like coaxing a child, they were the reality she had to face.

After all, fairy tales are just fairy tales.

When a disaster that destroys the world comes, the hero appointed by the king himself needs to run around the kingdom, fight monsters and level up along the way, help villagers solve incidents to get rewards and improve themselves, and finally destroy the devil.

This is really unbelievable. As a chosen hero, he still needs to worry about food, clothing, housing, transportation and even money like ordinary adventurers.

And knowing that the hero's defeat would mean destruction, the king and the nobles just stood by and watched without giving a penny.

Is it really necessary to save a country controlled by such a corrupt upper class? Logically speaking, it would be more practical to directly join the Demon King's army.

Even if the hero is truly of noble character and cares about the safety of the people, in such an environment, considering that there are good and bad people among the people, it is impossible for him to selflessly donate his property.

Therefore, in order to obtain the holy sword and even the necessary materials for upgrading equipment, the hero may inevitably need to do such overbearing things as casually entering other people's homes and rummaging through boxes. Otherwise, from a practical point of view, the world will be destroyed before he can grow up.

However, this kind of terrible plot is often hidden in the stories that are passed down.

But when it becomes real, these are inescapable questions.

"I understand," Misaka Mikoto took a deep breath, "Whether it means installing a Dream Maker, becoming a test subject, or even working for Blue Dream Company for the rest of my life, I will agree to it. Please save those children..."

"You're exaggerating. Although the nature of what you said is somewhat similar, I only have one request."

Roland shook his head and said with a smile.

"...What is it?"

"You don't have to sell yourself, you just need to repay with your body, Misaka-san."

"?"

Because the words had similar meanings, Misaka Mikoto was stunned for a moment, but she quickly understood what Roland meant.

In fact, he had already spoken out the inner meaning without any care.

"Don't you understand? To put it in more common terms, you just need to come with me..."

"I totally understand!"

The frightened Misaka Mikoto's pale face was once again covered with a blush like rouge.

Fortunately, her psychological threshold had been greatly lowered due to her previous despair, otherwise, the girl would not be sure whether she could react.

"So, you're also interested in a flat-chested girl like me? Obviously, a big-breasted youkai like Shokuhou Misaki would be more to your liking, right?"

Because her brain was a little paralyzed by the shock of this request, Misaka Mikoto's tone was a little subtle.

She used a tactful tone to change the subject, trying to make Roland change his mind.

"You just made a false judgment because you don't understand me. I've always been the kind of person who wants it all."

Roland raised his chin, looking proud.

"Also, you don't have to feel inferior about the size of your breasts. Although it's a bit regrettable, in other aspects, Misaka-san is a very attractive girl."

This kind of praise doesn't make me happy at all...

Thinking about it this way, it seems even worse that I would be happy about such praise in such an occasion.

Misaka Mikoto sighed softly.

Completely defeated by Roland.

Of course, she could also gamble that the other party was just taking advantage of her. As far as she, Shokuhou Misaki, and her past impression of Roland were concerned, it would be unbelievable if he wasn't there, but if he didn't take action and just sat back and watched her get killed, it would be unbelievable.

But the question is, what about the Misaka sisters besides herself?
It is an obvious fact that it is indeed very difficult to save them.

And if Roland hadn't been in danger herself, the girl wouldn't have been able to blame the other party for having no mercy in this matter.

After experiencing the despair of powerlessness and the pain of destruction and collapse.

Even if the plan was stopped under such harsh conditions as making herself a tool, Misaka Mikoto would agree decisively.

Misaka Mikoto glared at Roland, but quickly turned her head away in response to Roland's unyielding gaze, so that he wouldn't see the panic and evasion in her eyes.

"Woo..."

Although she really wanted to pounce on this philandering scum and bite him to death, Misaka Mikoto suppressed her emotions when she saw Accelerator who was already getting impatient not far away.

Considering the worst-case scenario, it would be better to find another opportunity later to teach this overly aggressive bastard a lesson.

and so.

Misaka Mikoto took a deep breath.

"I promise you."

"So, the deal is done?"

Roland lowered his head slightly, bent down, placed the Misaka sister in his arms on Misaka Mikoto's body, and leaned close to her ear.

The warm breath blowing on her earlobe made Misaka Mikoto lower her head unnaturally. She bit her lip and responded with a cold attitude that was different from her usual one.

But not answering itself is also an answer.

Roland nodded in satisfaction, strode forward, and soon came to the position where he was confronting the already impatient Accelerator.

"Is the cheap sentimentality over?"

Nowadays, Accelerator always feels that there are some things that are beyond his expectations.

For example, what exactly does this guy named Roland want to do?
He seems to know everything, but still calls himself a hero.

He pretended not to interfere, but changed his mind after whispering something in the third person's ear...

To be honest, he didn't quite understand this development.

Also, why did the third one look so depressed?

No matter how you look at it, it seems like he has got help. What's wrong with him?

"Of course, the deal is done. Since Misaka-san has already paid the basic points required for the hero to come, then I have no reason to refuse to participate, so..."

Roland smiled slightly, his face full of confidence, which made his already handsome appearance even more radiant.

He slowly clenched his five fingers.

"——Accelerator, I'm going to correct you next."

"Ahahahaha!"

Accelerator sneered, his eyes filled with anger.

Originally, he had no interest in attacking unrelated passers-by, and if the other party just let go of the third person and ran away, he would not bother to chase him.

But since the other party is seeking death, it’s not his fault.

He is Accelerator! The strongest esper in this Academy City! From the moment he became an esper, he represented the pinnacle of science!

Even if he does not have complete malice in his heart, his crazy and rebellious character has been engraved in his bones due to his past experiences.

He had planned to become invincible by trampling on absolute malice, but this man and woman who broke in without permission inexplicably wanted to destroy his actions.

Even in a situation where he had shown rare mercy, he not only wasted the opportunity to escape, but also continued to choose death.

How could he endure this?
It is because this only exaggerates the fact that there are too many idiots eyeing the strongest throne that so many unnecessary deaths are caused.

But this fear can only stop them temporarily. Within two days, they will swarm back again. Therefore, one must become an invincible evil.

"Since you want to die so much, I will do as you wish!"

Accelerator showed a ferocious smile, and imitated Roland, clenched his fist, and swung it towards him fiercely.

“——Boom!”

The dull sound of flesh colliding suddenly rang out.

Half of Accelerator's face twitched unnaturally, and then he fell directly to the ground, creating a ball of flying ash.

"Eh?"

Just like a replay of Misaka Mikoto's stunned expression from before, Accelerator slumped to the ground, touching his cheek subconsciously.

Blood continued to flow out of the already deformed nasal cavity, and there was a twisted fist mark on the face.

It felt like being punched in the face.

After realizing this fact, the pain he had never felt before and the strong taste of blood in his mouth made Accelerator laugh nervously again.

"I was knocked away? Impossible!"

"I was so focused that I shut down my body's reflexes. No...it should be the same as the third one, using some weird technique to find a loophole in my reflexes."

"Don't be so happy about this kind of boring trick!"

Yes, there is no way I can be defeated.

These weaklings have no chance of succeeding unless they are caught off guard.

After finding an excuse that could convince himself, Accelerator only had Roland in his eyes.

He focused on Roland's every move and memorized the enemy's data model thoroughly in his mind. His angry brain was operating at a power far beyond normal under the influence of hormones, calculating every change of the opponent.

Then, in Accelerator's eyes full of murderous intent and anger, his fist had already rolled up a whistling wind and was about to touch Roland's face.
——But the next second, he couldn't control himself and let out a scream of pain.

"Ahhhh!"

The unbearable pain coming from his abdomen made Accelerator unconsciously hunch his body like a cooked shrimp.

Because of the intense pain, Accelerator's mind went blank, his knees went weak, and he knelt directly in front of Roland.

Even the screams were distorted by the increasingly intense pain, blocking the throat and turning into faint wails.

He even couldn't help shedding tears and looked extremely embarrassed.

"No way, such a boring trick..."

"A boring trick?"

Roland sneered and looked down at Accelerator, allowing him to look directly into his eyes.

The gentle expression on his face had completely disappeared, or rather, was distorted by a chilling malice.

Now there is only madness and contempt in these eyes.

"You are clearly a weakling who only relies on your abilities and has no skills at all, yet you dare to speak so arrogantly."

Then, when Accelerator was struggling to stand up, Roland raised his leg again, easily overcame his full-strength reflexes, and delivered another heavy blow to his abdomen, kicking him away like a piece of garbage.

"——Do you understand the value of the perfect realm?" (End of this chapter)
