Capítulo 42: Assistance
---21st September 10:30a.m.---
"..."
"..."
"..."
There were two girls inside of a certain ward that a boy with white hair was being taken care at. That boy had not woken up yet, but the two other girls were sitting on his left and right. On his left was a small little girl that looked like she was 10 years old. She had shoulder-length brown
hair and brown eyes. She wore a light blue camisole with an unbuttoned men's dress
shirt worn over it. Her name was Last Order.
While the girl on his right was wearing a Tokiwadai uniform and she had purple curls ending from her hair. That girl was Hokaze Junko. But beside her, she had another companion floating around. Last Order could not see that ghost girl however.
"Misaka cannot believe that it has only been one day since we returned from a vacation and he has already found another girlfriend!!!! Laments Misaka as Misaka cannot believe the atrocity of a man he has become!!!"
"Ummm haha...you must be his little sister, I suppose?"
Last Order held onto the cot side as she got up in a position where it looked like she was about to climb over it.
"L-Little sister?!?!?! Misaka will let you know that despite Misaka's little size, Misaka is actually his older sister!!! Says Misaka as Misaka is outraged at the audacity of this woman!!"
"Haha..."
Hokaze gave a small laugh but caught one word that Last Order was saying.
"Did you say MIsaka? Are you Misaka-san's little sister then?"
"Heh heh, of course I am Misaka's little sister! Says Misaka as Misaka proudly declares who her blood is from!"
"Wow that must be impressive! So you also possess the ability to create and manipulate electricity?"
"Gah?! Uhhh...well, Misaka's electricity voltage might not be as strong as Misaka onee-chan's electricity, but...but it's still pretty good, argues Misaka as Misaka tries to hide the fact that she is actually very weak..."
Hokaze immediately shut her lips as Last Order said that. She could tell that Last Order wasn't very strong compared to the Level 5 Misaka.
And then, there was silence as the both of them looked at each other until a ruffling sound could be heard coming from the bed.
The white haired boy had finally woken up. Accelerator opened his eyes slowly and he was greeted by the familiar scenery. Or rather, scene.
Girls by his bed side, and the white ceiling after a battle. But this time he didn't fight, he just passed out.
"Ho! You're finally awake!! says Misaka as Misaka comes up to your line of vision to greet you!"
"Ah, you're awake now."
Accelerator face palmed himself as his eyes rolled backwards. The troublesome woman and her ghost friend was still there.
"Urghhh...why are you still here?"
"Misaka is here because Misaka has to take care of you and also to watch what this girl wants from you says Misaka as Misaka suspects that you are cheating on her again!!"
Last Order pushed her face directly in front of Accelerator's but he used his hand to push her face away.
"Not you, them." Accelerator laments as he glared at them.
"Them? Misaka doesn't see anyone but her, says Misaka as Misaka thinks you hit your head against the wall."
Accelerator then remembered that Hokaze's friend was a ghost so he played it off by scratching his eyes then glaring again.
"Ah, you're right. There's only one person. Anyway, here take my credit card and help me buy some coffee. My head is still dizzy from just now."
Accelerator went into his drawer and pulled out his bank card and passed it to Last Order.
"Heh, Misaka knows you want Misaka to go away so you can cheat on her, but Misaka will let this slide this time, says Misaka as Misaka actually wants to buy some sweets for herself as well."
"Whatever, just shut up and go."
Last Order took the card and placed it close to her flat chest as she runs away but not before giving Hokaze a look that made her feel uncomfortable.
"Don't try anything funny, says Misaka as Misaka judges you but knows you don't have what the assets that will please a man."
Hokaze just smiled and laughed nervously as Last Order left the room while closing the door as hard as she could.
Then Hokaze looked at Accelerator with a pleasing smile. She stood up and bowed 90° to him.
"I'm sorry about what happened earlier. I misjudged you for an old man and also bumped into you, so I'm sorry."
However, her ghost friend had something else to add on.
"You know, because of you, Junko-chan missed half of her school lessons?!"
The ghost girl started to wag her finger at him as she shook her head disapprovingly. But Hokaze's face turned beet red the moment she mentioned it.
"D-Don't tell him that!! This is supposed to be an apology you're not supposed to make him feel bad!!"
"But school is important, Junko-chan! This boy made you miss out on lessons! That old hag in your dorm is going to nag at you when you get back."
The ghost girl looked at her with pleading eyes but Hokaze simply shrugged her off and looked at Accelerator who had a bored expression on his face.
"That's it? You took the time to sit here and wait till I wake up just to apologize? Is this how it works now? You knock someone out and bring them to a hospital just to wait for them to wake up and apologize?"
"Hey!! Don't talk badly about Junko-chan! She is good hearted and--."
However, before the ghost girl could say anything else, Hokaze held her arm out as if she was holding back the ghost girl.
"In that case, can I request something from you?"
That was when Accelerator realized he fucked up.
"No."
"Can you help me find the identity of this girl?"
"I already said no!"
"But if I didn't come and apologize, then what should I have done?"
"..."
Accelerator clicked his tongue when she said that. And then he turned his choker on.
"Then you should have just ignored me!!"
He reached his hand out to grab her neck, but then her eyes glowed as electric currents traveled along her skin as she dodged his grasp.
"What?"
"Oh! I-I'm sorry!! I didn't mean to..."
"Shut up and get out!"
Accelerator then threw a gust of wind that would blow anyone back, but would not cause too much damage to the walls, but Hokaze stood her ground with no intention of being pushed back. And it shook Accelerator.
"(Electric currents that run through her body, giving her additional strength? But usually, even if someone does do that, it doesn't give them enough strength to withstand what I just did. So she must be level 4 or something...)"
At this point, Accelerator had pretty much went through all of the level 5's. Dark matter, Mental out, Meltdowner, Sogiita Gunha's random power bullshit. All that was left was the 6th ranked level 5 esper. But, he could also classify her ability to be that of a Level 5, maybe even having the potential to be ranked 4 or 6. He did not know whether Mental out could affect her or not, but if she's a level 4, high chance that it could.
"That's right! You show him, Junko-chan! Now beat him up!!!!!!!"
"Tch, your friend here is really goddamn annoying!!"
"I can't attack him. He's only a patient..."
Then she went closer to him.
"Please! I beg you, you're the only person who can see her, and I don't know how else I am supposed to continue from here..."
Hokaze then bent her body down again.
"...Tch. If you want help, why don't you go find Judgement or Anti-Skill? Or have her possess someone else so they can see her as well?"
"Well..."
She could not think of any reason for him to help her.
Suddenly, the door slid open again and Last Order ran in with a can of black coffee.
"Here you go, Misaka definitely did not buy her sweets or anything with your money, says Misaka as Misaka nervously gives you your drink and your money card back."
But Hokaze continued talking as Accelerator slot his card back inside his wallet and he placed the black coffee on his table.
"So...you're not going to help me?"
Then Last Order looked at her and Accelerator with eyes that resemble that of a cat.
"Hm? Ask for what help? asks Misaka as Misaka pokes her to find out what's happening here."
"Tch, none of your---"
"To find a friend."
Hokaze interrupted him as she leaked their mission to Last Order.
"Oh!! Finding a friend? Is she like Misaka? Asks Misaka as Misaka wants to find new friends to play with!!"
Hokaze then looked at the air next to her then back to Last Order.
"Uh-Uhmmm yes? By the way which Misaka are you talking about? Are you Misaka-san as well?"
"No, Misaka is..."
However, before she could explain herself, Accelerator cut in.
"Okay, I'll help you. Let's just get out of here right now."
Accelerator didn't want to let others know about the Sisters. They were supposed to be a secret to the world that's why they have been in the hospital the whole time.
"R-Really?!"
Hokaze said as she had sparkling stars in her eyes as she looked at him with her hands clasped onto each other.
Accelerator snarled at her as he turned off his battery and got out of bed.
"Ah! Misaka wants to help as well! Says Misaka as Misaka pleads to come with you."
"Tch, help the doctor with the patients or something, go talk to them. You can help them more."
He grabbed his cane as he limped out but before he could go, Last Order grabbed his shirt and looked up at him.
"You're going to be all okay, right? Asks Misaka as Misaka is concerned for your health."
Accelerator's face lightened up a bit, but he quickly placed his 'mask' back on.
"Of course. How difficult is it going to be just to find one person?"
He glared at Hokaze and her ghost friend.
"That's good to hear. Have a safe trip out there!! Says MIsaka as Misaka wishes you well!"
"...Tch."
Accelerator clicked his tongue as they went out. Hokaze caught up with the handicapped boy with her hands behind her back as she started to annoy him with questions.
"So who was that girl?"
"None of your business."
"Why did she call herself Misaka?"
"Because she is."
"Heheh, the two of you are adorable."
"Tch."
Accelerator was definitely annoyed, but he didn't want to cause a scene in the hospital or even outside, and even if he did, he didn't know the potential of her ability.
"Anyway, my name's Hokaze Junko. What is yours?"
"...People call me Accelerator."
Hokaze gasped when she realized she had met the right person. Someone who could tick out one of her objectives of lifetime.
"Accelerator? You mean you're the top ranked Level 5?! THAT Accelerator?!?!"
"Ha? Are there any other Accelerators?"
"Hey!! Don't insult Junko-chan's intelligence. She may be clueless at times, but she's really smart, okay?!" The ghost girl interrupted their conversation midway.
"H-Hey!! Don't--"
Hokaze tried to regain control of the situation, but it was too late as the both of them were talking right beside each other.
"There's only one 1st ranked Level 5, how does she not know who I am?!"
"H-Hey..."
"Hey, who would expect the strongest level 5 to be in a hospital?!"
"Heh, does she not look at the news? It's been going around for the past few weeks already."
"Hey!! She has no time to look at the news, okay? She's been so obsessed with gekota that she has no time to look at the news!!"
"Heh, what is she? A kid?"
"G-Guys..."
"I know right!! She's so obsessed with it that she even wears a gekota patterned panties and bra!!"
"What?! Do they even have sizes for middle schoolers?!"
Hokaze's face immediately turned beet red as she waved her arms around in panic.
"Guys stop please!!!"
"I don't even know, but all I know is that her bra is constraining her true size!!"
"Hngh....That's enough!!!!"
Hokaze shouted just as they reached the exit of the hospital. Finally the verbal abuse had stopped and her tension slowly faded away. But then come the next thing.
"So, where do you want to go?"
"Hmmm...I think it would be easier for us to continue the investigation if you were to come to Tokiwadai. Anyway, I want you to meet a special someone."
"Hm?"
Hokaze wanted to carry him, but he didn't allow her as he pushed her away.
"Oi oi!! If we're going to go Tokiwadai, I'm not going to let you carry me there. I still need something to get back."
"Oh but I can carry you back."
"Tch, I don't need your help to get back."
"Then what do you suggest?"
Accelerator didn't reply her using words, instead he just pointed to a nearby black motorcycle.
"We'll use that."
"Hm? W-Wait, is that yours?"
"Nope. But I know how to handle it."
"Oh that's nice."
Then she thought about it even more and she realized one crucial thing that almost slipped her mind.
"Wait...Doesn't that mean we're basically s-stealing?!!!?!?!?!??!"
"Tch, you don't have to put it that way. Sure I've crashed about two of these already, but I'll just be borrowing it."
"Wait!!! THIS IS WRONG!!! No matter how you look at it, we're clearly stealing!!!"
"Tch, just shut up and get on."
Accelerator turned his battery on and opened up the lock with force and he rewired the motorcycle to get it kickstarted.
When it was up and running, he simply got on as he put on a black helmet.
"Hop in."
"Ah...why...please don't turn me in to Anti-Skill. The principal is going to question me non-stop about this..."
"..."
Accelerator then took off his helmet and then passed it to her without saying anything.
"I-Is this for me?"
"Take it or leave it."
"U-Ummm thanks! Do you need me to hold your cane?"
Hokaze awkwardly placed the helmet on her head as she filled the helmet up with her hair to hide any signs of her lavender hair from the public.
"No. I can carry it while riding."
"O-Okay...(Is it really safe though...)"
Then the ghost girl had something to add on to what he did.
"Ooooo being a gentleman, are we? Unfortunately your attempts to woo her heart will be thwarted by me!!"
"Do you ever shut up?"
"No! Do YOU ever shut up?"
"Guys...Stop fighting..."
Accelerator clicked his tongue as he started the engine. The roar of the motorcycle kicked in as he slowly got out of the parking lot. Once he started driving, the ghost girl kept up with them easily.
"Accelerator-san, I'm so happy that you could help me."
"...I don't need your thanks."
"B-But must you always be so cold towards me?"
"..."
"Yeah, must you always be so cruel towards Junko-chan?!"
"I am this close to causing a car accident if you don't shut up."
"..."
And then the whole ride was just peace and quiet.
---21st September 12:06a.m.---
The moment they reached the school garden, Accelerator managed to park the bike safely this time, and luckily, they didn't get into any car accidents on the way for once.
It was his first bike that survived without even so much as a scratch.
Hokaze took off the helmet as she nervously put the helmet on the bike which the engine had not been switched off because he was too lazy to even switch the wires.
"Alright, from here I'll bring you in."
"Ahn?"
Hokaze picked Accelerator up like a bride and she expected him to be heavy but it turns out it was the other way round.
"Wow, you're surprisingly pretty light for a boy."
"And you're surprisingly fucking fat for a girl."
"Gah?!"
Hokaze was attacked by her own weight as Accelerator was almost dropped to the ground had not been for the fact that he was really really lightweight even while carrying his 5kg metal cane.
"Hey, you big meanie!! Stop insulting Junko-chan, okay? Even if she is fat, she is still adorable!!"
"W-Why am I being bullied so much today!!!!"
Hokaze sent electrical currents to her entire body as she jumped past the gate separating the School Garden and Academy City. She made sure to jump above the ceilings of high-rise buildings and shops to ensure no one spots a different 'ghost' in the School Garden.
"Anyway, even if I were to enter your goddamn school, what can I even do there?"
"Ah...ummm...actually...I don't know..."
"Ha?! You don't even know what you want me to do, but you still brought me here either way?!"
"S-Sorry!!! I just wanted you to meet someone special."
"And who is that?!"
"The Queen!"
"Ahn? Are we in the medieval days? Why is there something like a queen in Tokiwadai?!"
"I-It's a form of appreciation, and a ruling of Tokiwadai. In Tokiwadai, we have different cliques that students can choose, and it can either be a form of support or a form of spending your free time."
Accelerator raised one eyebrow as he felt weirded out by what she was saying.
"Are all rich girls that bored that they have to serve this one queen?"
"I-It's a form of lifestyle!! Anyway, we're here."
In front of Accelerator there was a gate that had the symbol of Tokiwadai Middle School, and past that gate was the school that he despises the most, where most of his troubles stem from.
The electromaster, Misaka as his 'child', Shokuhou Misaki as the annoying girl that can read people's mind, the teleporter Kuroko Shirai who doesn't stop trying to budge into his business and can't keep her nose away from his business, main point is he has been related to the school one way or another and has probably changed the dynamics of the school somehow.
When they landed, Hokaze didn't put him down, as she looked left and right for anyone looking at them. The building where they arrived at was just next to the school but slightly further up from the gate.
The building was a three story building with red brick walls, arched windows, white parapets and corbels that round its top, white columns that supported it and complemented the white balustrades and metal railed terrace, along with westernized-design of the main doors, wherein glass covered the sides and top of the fan light for maximum lighting.
It seemed like they also had a security check that requires a face recognition and Hokaze simply stepped in front of the camera and it recognized her face and the door had a 'chnk' sound right after.
"Can you help me open the door?"
Accelerator did as he was told and he opened it up just to be greeted by a large reception hall. But no one was around, it was as if everyone was too busy with classes or what not that they left it open for any intruders to pass by. Furthermore, mailboxes and an intercom was present in the main hall.
The interior features marble flagstones with square tessellations. Its walls painted white with marble bottom panels and the lighting featured a chandelier befitting that of a royal household.
However, just as they thought no one was around, there was actually someone there, but the woman at the desk was just asleep and Hokaze snuck in while still carrying Accelerator around as if he was a maiden.
She got up a flight of wooden stairs quietly as she slowly climbed up. If Accelerator was average weight, she would probably have woken up the young lady by now, but since he wasn't she didn't have to exert too much strength to carry him up.
Once she got up the flight of wooden stairs, she used her ability and quickly ran up a few more flight of stairs until she was all the way at the top floor.
The hallways had brown wooden paneling covering the bottom with simple moldings. The walls were often covered with simple and tasteful paintings, and the entrances to the hallways had Roman archways, instead of the much more pointed archways of Gothic architecture that is used on the windows for the outside. The hallways showed a warmth of yellow, as the white walls reflected the incandescent lighting that hung atop the wooden ceilings.
It was simply too lavish for someone of his status. But his status didn't mean much anyway.
Former strongest, monster, #1, lolicon, playboy, sadist.
Thinking about it made him feel down as his hair covered his eyes by looking down. Sure he had money, he could probably pay some Skill-Outs to work for him, but it wouldn't get him anything else. In fact, it would just add on to his status as 'boss'. If he was lucky maybe there might even be an adjective added inside.
She stopped just in front of a certain door and she placed him down nicely.
"Come, I'll have you wait inside here for a while."
She opened the door to what was supposed to be her room, and when Accelerator peeped in, it was definitely her room.
"Huh? What for?" Accelerator casually asked as he walked in, and saw a bunch of Gekota-related magazines and posters.
"I-I have to go for the clique meeting now, that's why... I'm so sorry!!! Should I have picked you up later? I'm sorry, I got so excited having another Level 5 come that I didn't think rationally enough..."
Accelerator clicked his tongue as he continued looking around her room.
Her room was pretty spacious, in fact too spacious for one person. It could probably fit about 2 more beds and maybe have five or six more people living here. The floors were made of the same wood that was used for the hallways and the walls were made out of marble with the whole room being lit up by one single ceiling light. Then there was one more room which he assumed was the bathroom, which he was correct. Everything in her room had a very strong aroma, and it smelled pleasant compared to the shit that he was leaving with.
"Do help yourself with whatever you need. I have a mini fridge right over there if you need something, oh yeah would you like to trade numbers? If you need anything from outside you can always call me. I'd be happy to help."
"...Why are you being so nice to me?"
That question caught Hokaze by surprised as her mouth became somewhat of a crooked smile as if she had difficulty in trying to figure out whether she was happy or not but just stopped right in the middle.
"E-Eh? W-Why, you ask? I-I mean if you invited someone over, you should take good care of your guests right? A-Am I wrong?"
"..."
It took Accelerator a while to get used to her hospitality, in fact he had never been to someone's house before and lie on their bed, let alone even sit on the floor. The Tobio sisters only had the shop as their house and he only had his dorm from when he was still studying.
This was his first time being in someone's house just to relax.
"S-So do you want to trade numbers?"
"Fine."
Accelerator passed his phone to her as she dialed her number in and saved her name inside.
"Alright, I'll be going now! See you later, Accelerator-san!"
"..."
He waved his hand goodbye as the door closed and it was just him inside her room.
But fortunately or unfortunately for him, the ghost girl was around, although she did not reveal herself, he could sense her eyes on him.
"Come out. I know you're still hiding."
But she didn't come out probably because she thought he was only trying his luck. Then he sighed as he walked to a brown wall and tapped the wall with his right hand.
"Oi, I know you're here, stop hiding!!"
Then she peeked her little head with an angry face.
"How did you know I was here?"
"Just a guess."
"H-HUH?!?!? That was too lucky to even be a guess!!"
"...Whatever, why are you still here?"
"Junko-chan is mine, you hear me!? SHE IS MINE!!!!"
The ghost girl got up in his ear as she shouted that, and he had to cover his ear with one hand.
"Whatever! I don't care about her anyway. She's just like all the other Tokiwadai girls somehow she'll just be a nuisance to me."
"You're wrong!!! Junko-chan is just a nice girl that likes helping people!!"
"Yeah, to you. She's trying to help you, isn't she? Anyway, how the hell did you find her?"
"I don't know actually...I just woke up and I remembered how amazing she was. So I went ahead and found her. She was really cool, do you know that!"
"...Right." Accelerator sarcastically said as he sat down on her bed.
"(She said help myself right?)"
Accelerator had to get that point straight as he didn't want to cause so much trouble for himself if she were to complain about him.
"HEY!!! Get off that bed!! That's Junko-chan's bed!!"
"..."
Accelerator ignored her words as he tried to get some shut eye. There was nothing he could do as well. He had no information to start with and the victim doesn't even know what happened to her.
The ghost girl tried to hit him but she couldn't even touch him, and when she tried to possess him, she couldn't. Accelerator had already fortified his mind from that already.
"Why don't you let me enter your body?!?!?!"
"Why the hell do you even want to go inside my body!??!?!"
"Because I want to ride that bike too! It looked so cool!!"
"...Is that so?"
Accelerator picked the bike on purpose as well. It was faster and it could get past traffic easily, and to add on, he also knew it was cool.
"Maybe when you find yourself then you might be able to ride it."
"But I don't even know myself!!"
"Then that is not my problem!! Now shut up!!!"
All that shouting from upstairs done by Accelerator only(because the ghost girl is not actually there in the real world) drew the attention of someone as they slowly walked up the stairs.
Accelerator heard it as he turned his head to the door in horror.
"(Shit! I can't be found here, otherwise it might stir up more trouble for me.)"
Accelerator looked around the room for a place to hide. The bed? No, there will be a huge bump. Beneath the bed? No, her blanket wasn't long enough to cover the bottom part. On the ceiling? No, he would be wasting his battery life. Underneath the study table? No, he'll easily be seen if they choose to survey the room. The bathroom? No, then they'll walk in and see him immediately. Then he looked at her massive closet that probably had clothes that could last her 30-40 days if she changed 3 times everyday.
"(Fuck it, there's no other choice.)"
Accelerator opened the closet and quickly jumped in just as the creaking from the wooden stairs reached his level. And then it got closer.
The creaking slowly got louder.
And then footsteps were now clear as day.
And then...they stopped.
"(What the fuck is this?! Is this some sort of horror film?!)"
The door slammed open.
It was the woman from the main lobby just now. She surveyed the room as she looked up, down, left and right as she slowly entered the spacious room.
She checked below the bed. No one.
She checked underneath the study table. No one.
Next, she went to the bathroom, no one.
Then, she heard a bit of sound coming from the closet.
She slowly approached it and then with both of her hands, she held the handles on both sides and swung them open.
But no one was there.
Accelerator was held his breath as the sheets of clothes covered him.
"Huh, I guess I was hearing things."
Then he heard the doors closed. Then he slowly took in small breaths of air. As he heard the footsteps walk away. But that was only his imagination as the sheets of clothes covering him started to show a bit of light. Until.....
"Ha!! I found you this time!!"
"..."
"Hahaha!! You should've seen the look on your face!!"
"..."
Accelerator still had not processed what in the world just happened to him. The woman was laughing as she found him. Does he know her?
Well, technically he did but did not at the same time.
"You thought you only had the right guesses. Well I too happen to have the right guesses!"
"Tch, you're possessing her?"
"Heh heh, you bet I am. Otherwise, she would have found you by now. This woman had all the right places to check. But I'll just lead her into another room later. But you should have seen your face!! Oooohahahahahaha!!"
"...Since you're possessing her..."
Accelerator then turned his battery on as he looked at the ghost girl inside that woman's body.
"Eh?"
"THEN THAT MUST MEAN YOU FEEL PAIN AS WELL, DOESN'T IT?!!?"
Accelerator used both of his hands to strangle her. His two hands grasped her neck tightly as he started to shake her around.
"Ahughuhghguhgugh...stopgh itgh!!!!"
The shaking was so intense that the ghost girl came out of the woman's body.
The ghost girl came out of the woman's body.
Out of the woman's body.
The woman is free...
"A-AHHHHHHHHHH!!!! A GHOST!!!! IT-IT'S A GHOSTT!!!! HEEEEEEELLPPPP!!!!!!!!!"
Accelerator reflected all the light around him the moment the ghost girl got out of her body, so what she was essentially seeing was a hand on her neck, and when he released her, she saw a hand floating in the air.
She screamed the whole way down as she loudly slammed the door on him.
Accelerator turned his battery back into 'normal' mode as he looked at the ghost girl with a crooked face.
The ghost girl only looked at the air as she whistled as if nothing had happened just now.
"D-Don't look at me. I didn't do anything wrong..."
"You damn brat!!"
"Wh-What?! Me? A brat?!?!!?!? You were the one shaking too much!!!"
"Ahh fuck!!" Accelerator cursed as he stomped the floor, but that just made the woman downstairs yelp a little more.
"Well, at least we know she's not coming back here anytime soon."
Accelerator took sighed as he laid down on the bed yet again.
"Going to bed so early?"
"What does it matter to you?"
"Hmph! I thought we could play a bit more."
"...Tch, there are kids in this school who would be so willing to play with you."
"But none of them can see me! And they're all so busy with school as well..."
The ghost girl pouted as she looked away from him.
He felt just a bit annoyed as he looked at her. And to add insult to injury, she got up close in his face with puppy eyes.
He rolled his eyes as he faced the other way but then there she was yet again with those puppy eyes.
And he covered his face into the pillow, but she would keep making a fuss.
"Heyyy!!! Come on, pretty please!!"
"Ugghhhh AHHHHHHH...FINE FINE!! What do you want to play?!"
"Actually I don't know as well."
She lightly knocked her head as she rolled her tongue out teasingly. Even though there was no impact to her head, she just wanted to act cute and adorable to gain sympathy points from him. But that didn't seem to work as his face looked dead just by staring at her.
"Okay, okay, I'll think of something just give me time."
Accelerator sighed as he laid back down, but then he heard a rumbling sound. Was it a monster? Was there a battle happening right now?
No, it was just his stomach crying for something to eat.
"(Come to think of it, I haven't eaten anything in the morning and all this crap has made me even hungrier...)"
Accelerator looked at the mini fridge with a tinge of guilt in his gut, but he just told himself 'make yourself at home' is what she said, right?
"Well, don't mind if I do-- What the hell?"
When he opened the mini fridge on the floor, he was shocked to see that she only had milk, fruit juices, bread, and a packet of sweets.
"O-Only a child would ever eat like this..."
"Her diet is pretty bad if you ask me, but she's still able to maintain such a nice body!! It makes me so jealous!!!!!"
"I don't care..."
"Did you know that her breasts are actually bigger than what you would expect them to be?!?!?!"
"I said I don't care and I'm not interested to find out what she has! In the end, it's just stacks of fat right?!"
"G-GAH?!?! I-I've never heard of such response from a guy before!! Usually they'd be like 'Ohhhh I wish I could see it' or 'Ohhhh I want to feel it just listening about it' But you?!?!?! Perhaps, are you homosexual by any chance?!?!!"
"Why you little brat!! I swear when I find your real body, I'm gonna fuckin kill you!!"
"Heh heh, that's your motivation right there! But wait, you're only joking about the k-killing part right?"
He glared at her without saying anything.
"Right?"
Then he turned his back towards her as he grabbed a can of grape flavored fruit juice.
"Please say something!!"
"..."
He simply popped open the can and drank it calmly. That drink had plenty of vitamin C and other important nutrients that helps the body grow, and it was also simply refreshing. It wasn't those types that could have been easily bought from vending machines.
"HEY!! DON'T IGNORE MEEEE!!!!!"
"So this is what a rich girl's drink tastes like."
"...Let's play truth or dare."
"Ha?"
"Well, I mean do you have any other suggestions?"
"...Haaaaaaa...alright, we'll play this game and then no more, got it?"
"Yes!!! Alright, I'll go first. Truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"Okay, do you like Junko-chan?"
"No."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Are you really REALLY sure?"
"Yes."
"Not even a teeny weeny bit?"
"No."
"Even when she gave you freedom to roam around and go through her privacy?"
"Tch, you talk too much. Isn't my turn now?"
"Heh, fine, you can run away with this one. Alright, now you ask me."
"Truth or dare?"
"DARE!!"
The ghost girl put both hands around her waist as she proudly declared the name of the game that she wanted to play. But Accelerator narrowed his eyes as he looked at her intensely.
"Wait a minute...how the hell can I dare you to do anything at all when you can't even touch anything?!"
"Heh heh, so you found out."
"Now I really am motivated to find your real body."
"You've been talking about my real body for so long now. Why are you so confident that I have a real body?"
Accelerator leaned back on the bed as she drew her face closer to him.
"Because, I don't believe in such shit as ghosts. Only esper abilities, and your ability should be your astral form right now. Everything in this world happens for a reason. There's no such thing as ghosts or spirits in Academy City. And even if there is, it was probably the work of some weird organization."
"Organization?"
"...Nevermind. It's nothing. Anyway, seeing as how I don't have anything to ask from you and you can't even do anything, I guess that's the end of the game. Goodnight."
Accelerator turned his back on her as he placed his head on the pillow.
"Mmm hmph! I'm going to find Junko-chan, you're no fun!"
And finally he got the peace he wanted. As he laid on the bed, he slowly drifted away into the darkness.
---21st September 9:48p.m.---
Accelerator had woken up a long time ago and now he was sitting on the ground in seiza style with bruises all over his body and two face slap marks could be seen on both sides of his face. How did that happen you might wonder.
Well, a while back...
Accelerator had awoken from his bed and he looked at his phone, to find 9+ missing phone calls from Yomikawa, of course there were more, but due to the restrictions of notifications on his phone, it could only show 9+ and she had called him just one minute ago.
"Tch, is she not back yet?"
Accelerator scanned the room, to find no one. It seemed like Hokaze was still not back from her meeting. So he called her back.
But before he could call back, it seemed like she was faster to call him instead. When he picked up, he couldn't even say a single word before being bombarded with a loud voice and a small girl at the end of the line.
"ARE YOU NOT COMING BACK?!?! ASKS MISAKA AS MISAKA SUSPECTS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN KIDNAPPED OR IS CHEATING ON HER RIGHT NOW!!!!"
"Tch, don't yell at the phone. I can hear you clearly even if you talk softly."
"But Misaka is worried!! Says Misaka as Misaka wants to know where you are right now..."
"I'm safe. I'm in somewhere secluded. I'll be back by tomorrow. So just wait for me."
Accelerator felt the need to go to the toilet now to empty his bladder since the drink had just taken it's toll on his bladder. He picked up the cane in one hand as he held his phone to his ear on the other.
"But why won't you come back tonight? Asks Misaka as Misaka really feels like you are cheating on her..."
"Aren't you still young to be thinking about things like this?"
Accelerator twisted the door knob to the bathroom and he opened it lightly.
"B-But Misaka is worried about you..."
"You don't have to..."
Before Accelerator could finish his sentence, he saw it. He saw Hokaze and the ghost girl together in the shower and they looked back at him. Hokaze had a perfect body, that's what he understood. A body that every girl in society would want. The perfect size, the perfect hair, the perfect shape. She had it all bare in front of him.
"But Misaka thinks that you are outside playing with a bunch of girls right now, suspects Misaka as Misaka still cannot trust what you are saying."
Hokaze's face flushed red as she her purple eyes had a show of fear in it.
"A-Accelerator-s-san? W-WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!?!?!"
She threw a bottle of soap at his head and it was a direct hit. He almost fell unconscious, if not for the fact that he had been punched by something around that caliber before. But wait, that was just a soap bottle. A small one in fact. Those that can only be found in hotels.
"WHAT?! Misaka heard that voice, says Misaka as Misaka knows now that you are really cheating on Misaka!!"
Accelerator couldn't respond to her as his phone dropped out of his hand after the oncoming impact, he held on to the door knob as he tried to close the door to avoid any further altercations, but it broke.
It broke.
The fucking door knob broke.
And he looked at the door knob and back at her, and then he did it again.
"Wait, I can--"
But the ghost girl interrupted him.
"You broke the door knob so you can see even more?!?!?! I knew you were that type of guy who likes to peep at girls, but I didn't know you were THIS desperate!!"
"D-Don't look at me!!!"
Then he was tackled to the ground by Hokaze as she got on top of him and started to slap him on the face with her ability active, making him feel every ounce of pain. But he persevered as he tried explaining to her.
He used both of his hands to try and push her off of him, but instead, he miscalculated where he wanted to touch. His hands reached underneath her breasts as his thumb was poking something not sharp, but pointy and he twisted his thumbs around curiously. And that was when her whole body went red.
"W-Where do you think you're touching!!!!"
Hokaze picked him up from the ground, slammed her knee into his stomach, followed by punches to his sides, then to his ribcage, a kick to his leg and then to end the combo, a straight punch to the face. The punch was fast and hard, so he didn't fly back this time, but he did drop to his knees and then his face was supported by something soft and plump.
"Oooooh...someone is very daring tonight..." The ghost girl taunted as she flew right next to his face.
Before he could comprehend what she said, he only gave a 'ha?' and then he tried to grab her just to support himself up, but instead he ended up molesting her butt. And that was the final straw.
She let out a tiny moan as she grabbed his head, but she didn't want him to continue, she wanted him to let go. But, there was a misunderstanding between their actions.
"L-Let go of me!!!"
"F-Fhen getch tchyour handsh off my head!!!"
As he said every word, he was biting into her forbidden fruit which made her even weaker and then she went down to her knees as well. Because they both had their hands on each other, with Hokaze's grip being tighter, he hugged her shoulders with an 'X' forming at the back as he hugged one end of her shoulder blade to the other end. And she held his head tight.
Her body was dripping with water and soap, so he had forced his eyes closed in order not to get any soap inside his eye, and it was a habit thanks to a certain little girl at A Certain Hospital.
And she had her hands on his head tightly, and with the sudden motion and coincidental circumstance, they both shared a kiss. On accident.
He felt her luscious lips touch his and their tongues intertwined and they held that position for approximately 5 seconds because the both of them needed time to process everything that had just happened in a single minute.
"..."
"T-The both of you did it..."
"..."
Hokaze's face turned even redder this time, and it probably could be redder than a 1000°C blade. It was getting hotter as well. Her blood was indeed rushing all the way to her usual fair-toned skin.
Accelerator opened his eyes just to see her eyes twirling around in either shock or confusion. Either way, it was a terrible situation for them as they heard footsteps coming up the stairs.
At that moment, Hokaze couldn't move so Accelerator had to do something. He let her go, and at that instant, she fell to the floor on her back, almost lifeless as she pondered her choices in life up till now.
Accelerator turned his battery to 'esper' mode as he grabbed her like a princess and dashed in at the speed of light. There was no point in him holding back as he had to protect himself from anymore troubles being caused. He went back out, grabbed his phone, which still had a line to Yomikawa, and then his cane.
He brought it all to the bathroom at the speed of light. His heart was racing. It had never raced like this before. Maybe it was due to the pressure of being found out, or maybe it was because he was running like his life depended on it. Or maybe both. But when someone came in, they walked all the way towards the bathroom door.
"Junko-chan, are you okay in there? I heard a lot of commotion from downstairs."
Then Accelerator looked behind him, it seems like the ghost girl wasn't playing any pranks on him this time. Hokaze was still dazed from that whole thing so she could barely even let out a sound.
"Junko-chan?"
At that moment, the ghost quickly took over her body and she quickly played the part of Hokaze Junko.
"A-Ah um yes, I'm alright~ Why, did something happen?"
"O-Oh no, I just thought something might have happened in your room, so I came to check if you're okay."
"Oh I'm fine, but really there's nothing to worry about here~!"
"U-Um okay, if you say so."
Then the footsteps got softer, and softer and when the door closed, the ghost girl glared at Accelerator using her body.
"You just traumatized poor Junko-chan. What do you have to say for yourself, huh? Mr 'I don't like her one bit'."
"Tch, it was all an accident."
"Yeah right! I'll handle you myself in honor of Junko-chan!"
Immediately, the water around her was pushed away and electricity flowed through her entire body and in a single instant, 'Hokaze' landed one good hit on his body. The ghost girl made sure to push him up then support him from the back so he wouldn't fly away, but the main problem was the pressure that amounted from the punch was so great that it shot through his body and destroyed the bathroom door, after that it left the windows with cracks.
"O-Oh no...I thought I used as minimal strength as possible..."
"Gaahhhhhhhhh..."
Accelerator had a bit of saliva drooling from his mouth as he was still lifted up in the air. At that moment, the ghost girl quickly left Hokaze's body as she looked away from what was about to happen to Accelerator.
When she came to, her ability had stopped functioning and she looked straight at the door that was blasted open but she didn't react much to it yet, but she just gave a sigh of relief.
"Woooo...it was just a dream..."
But when she looked at who was in her arms, she saw the white haired boy staring at the ground probably from shock caused by that attack earlier. His redirection was working, it was just that he didn't want to use it.
Why?
Because he didn't want to hurt her. But she was okay with hurting him. Her face blushed with redness again as she put him down calmly.
Then she hit him even harder this time.
But instead of taking it again, he quickly grabbed her wrist as he looked at her eyes, desperate to get away from this situation that he was in.
"W-WAIT!! If you do anymore things, that bitch will come in again, this time with nothing blocking us!"
"B-But you've seen my entirety already!! Y-You e-even e-e-e-even t-t-t-t-touched me there..." Hokaze said timidly, as she looked at the ground with one arm in between her chest as she crossed her legs while standing as well as covering the one part that all non-married man should not see.
Accelerator gave a sigh of relief as he lets her hand go and ended the call with Yomikawa.
"Listen here, it was an accident, and plus...WHY DIDN'T YOU LOCK THE DAMN DOOR?!?!?"
"B-Because I'm too used to living with girls and...and I forgot you were there, b-but I thought you would hear the shower head running as well..."
"Haaaa......fine it's my bad that I didn't--"
Accelerator took one step back but he slipped on the slippery ground and when he tried to recover, he readjusted his other leg but that made him fall frontwards instead, bringing Hokaze to the floor with him as she slipped as well.
A loud thud was heard in the bathroom, and Accelerator was on top of Hokaze this time with one hand touching her stomach while the other hand was above her shoulder.
"Someone is really daring today!"
Instead of reacting like just now, Hokaze instead spread her arms out even more, the signal for all guys to go and let loose as she declared her loss.
"I-I'm not going to hold back anymore. S-Since we have come this f-far...y-you better take responsibility!!"
"HA?!"
Accelerator and the ghost girl cried in unison.
"Come then, I-I won't deny this any longer! I was planning to save this special moment for the Queen, but you've already taken it, so why not go all in?"
Accelerator, still stunned by what she's doing was pulled into her embraces as she closed her eyes, ready to embrace her fate.
But Accelerator was having none of that as he pulled himself away.
"Oi, are you fucking crazy?! Like I said, this was all a misunderstanding and an accident! I didn't mean to do all that to you!"
"So then, that kiss..."
"Geh?! That was nothing, just erase it from your mind. Tell your Queen to erase it for you!"
Hokaze gasped as he said that, to him a kiss meant nothing, but to her, it was her first kiss and from a guy even. She could never forget it no matter how hard she were to try. So her heart was essentially broken.
She was a pure hearted maiden. How can something like that be brushed off so easily.
She activated her esper ability once more, and this time, she shoved him off as she landed a straight kick right at him, kicking him away from the bathroom.
He was pushed away at a good distance, but if he had not stopped himself voluntarily while using his powers, he was sure that he could have flown right out of the building.
Hokaze quickly took a towel and wrapped herself up while still dripping water from her hair and body.
"Get on your knees right now!!"
"(So this is how people see me...)"
It had been quite a while since Accelerator feared something. He didn't even fear death no matter how many times he had to face it over the past few weeks. He didn't fear the Level 5's. He doesn't even fear a god. But this person right in front of him...
This was definitely someone else.
Her presence was scary as her eyebrows shot downwards as her rage carried her forward.
He quickly sat down in seiza position as he turned his powers off.
"You can't just say that to a woman!! Do you understand?! It was my first kiss, and you took it as if it was nothing?! I can't believe you!!"
"I'm sorry..."
The first time someone made the Accelerator apologize other than the people at the hospital. It was a genuine apology as well. He was not being sarcastic.
"Do you know how memorable I wanted my first kiss to be?!" Hokaze said as tears started welling up in her eyes. But all Accelerator could say was...
"I'm sorry..."
And so the lecturing continued until....
---21st September 10:30p.m.---
The lecturing was finally over and he finally got out of the room as the ghost girl tried to calm Hokaze down.
"Fuckin hell...This is why I don't like to deal with Tokiwadai girls...what is this luck..."
Accelerator escaped the room through the window that was already broken since Hokaze opened it in a fit of rage which caused it to break apart.
His body was already very weak from the beating, and he was mentally drained from the lecture. He just wanted to get out and get some fresh air.
But he also had another objective in mind when getting out of the room.
"(It's time to hack the system...)"
Was what Accelerator thought of, but he didn't know where to begin. Right now, he was confident of walking outside the dormitory as Hokaze had told him that all the students should be back and in their dorms since it's already past their curfew time.
But he knew one thing.
The principal's office is the only place where they would keep students' private documents. So, he only had to slowly walk around the school. Hokaze also informed him that there would probably be no one guarding the place as there are only students here. If the school was in danger or attacked, the students were more than capable of fighting back, or they would just contact Anti-Skill.
"(Go figures. This school is prestigious for it's high leveled students.)"
Accelerator took out a hairpin that Hokaze gave him and lockpicked the door. It only took him about 2-3 minutes to get the door open and then he was in.
The main lobby of the school was massive and if he had to guess, the principal's office would be all the way at the top. Away from the ruckus, caused by the students downstairs.
The main lobby of the school almost looked like the dormitory lobby, but instead it was blue instead of white. There was no reception desk and the passageway was long and far. Probably because there were other rooms by the side maybe for first-aid or some other typical class. The moment he found the stairs, he slowly limped all the way up in the darkness. However, there was one thing that he did not pay attention to.
The cameras.
Someone could be operating the cameras right now but he didn't know or rather he would save that troublesome work for later on as finding out the information about that ghost girl and finally solving this whole thing took priority.
"(Why do I do this to myself...)" Accelerator questioned himself as he looked at the dark ceiling.
Was it because he wanted to impress Hokaze? Was it because he felt like a hero? Was it because he just wanted to look cool? Or was it because he didn't want to give himself a reason not to save someone?
That line had been said a few times already...
"Do I really need a reason to save someone? Or was it because I could not accept myself as a hero."
Other people were looking at him as if he was a hero, but he didn't think he deserved that title despite all that he has done.
There were many things running through his mind right now, but one thing was clear, he felt like a fool.
The moment he finished the long and tedious climb up the stairs, he was gasping for air.
"Goddamn it...climbing up the stairs with a cane is really fucking difficult."
But it was well worth it as he looked ahead, the walls were a dead end, but there were doors leading to somewhere by the side of the hallways.
And he checked the left side first. There were no signs of the label 'Principal's Office'.
But when he checked the other side, it was bingo.
On the door at the end, the bolded words that read 'PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE' was there, but the door was locked.
He took out the pin and started to lockpick it. He didn't learn this skill, he only watched how they did it in the shows and movies on television, but he didn't learn the specifics. All he saw were them using the pin and twisting and turning it to find a way in. But it seemed about right. In the first place, which student would want to go into the principal's office just to look at other students' documents?
And why would anyone want to go back into their school after they were dismissed?
That's probably why they're locks were easy to pick through.
Once he broke in, he entered a room where it was like any typical top level administrator room. By the side of the room was a stack of books on a bookshelf. The interior was made of wood, and at the very back was a desk and a monitor.
It was decorated with potted plants and there was a window all the way at the back that oversees everyone in the garden at the back of the school. The school was massive with a separate building that probably conducted the classes of all the students here. He sat down in the principal's chair as he turned his ability to 'power' mode.
He then pressed his hand on the top of the monitor and manipulated the electrical systems to bypass the security system and it was successful.
However, before he started pressing any buttons, he heard a voice at the entrance of the doorway which he had broken into.
He immediately stood up to see who it was before he attacked them, but to his relief it was just the 5th ranked Level 5, Shokuhou Misaki.
"You won't find anything there."
"Tch, it's just you."
"As unhappy as you are to see me, I'll just tell you the situation that's going on now since I want to help that girl as well."
"You can see her as well?"
"I couldn't at first, but after reading into Hokaze's mind, I found out."
"Then you have an idea on who it is then?"
"Of course, how can I forget my roots?"
"?"
Misaki slowly walked in as she sat on the desk with her legs crossed over each other.
"You know that I was part of Project Dolly right?"
"Yeah, what about it?"
"In that building where Project Dolly was being held, there was a third laboratory where another experiment was held. It was called Project Ideal. I don't know much of the details from here, but I heard that it was a plan to replicate the powers of us Level 5, and to create as many espers just like us."
"..."
"However, that project failed as they were lacking the finances to do anything, I suspect maybe the Board Of Directors probably didn't support this idea that's why it wasn't funded. But, because of that project, I managed to get to where I am now."
"What do you mean?"
"There was someone else who held the candidate for Level 5. She had the same powers as me, affecting the mind and all, but they chose me instead. They had also planned for Hokaze to ascend to Level 5, but the problem was. Her ability, Rampage Dress, it takes a toll on her mind if she uses her power too much and if she were to push herself to the brink, she would get a very bad headache."
"..."
"That's almost everything I know. I don't know about that ghost friend of hers, but I suspect that the past is coming back to haunt her now. That's why I am worried about her right now."
"..."
"She trusted you to help her, Accelerator. So please, take good care of her."
For the first time since he had met her, she finally bowed down to him, asking him for his help and he clicked his tongue as he sat there almost like he was a mafia boss. Only thing he was missing was a suit and a cigar, those that can only be found from Cuba.
"Don't just push your problems to me."
Accelerator switched the monitor off and he does the same to his battery as he got up. Misaki looked at him with a confused expression.
Was he going to help or not?
"You're supposed to be her 'Queen' right?"
"...Wait, how do you know about that?"
However, Accelerator ignored her question.
"If you truly did care about her, you wouldn't be asking me for help. Besides, she asked me and me only."
"..."
Accelerator limped out of the room slowly, but just then he heard her giggle at him.
"What?! What's so fucking funny?"
"Haha, sorry, I can't help but think that you're trying to be some sort of hero."
"...You're out of your fucking mind."
There were some things that Accelerator had stopped doing already. Right now, he should have grabbed her throat and threatened her that she was taking him too lightly. But, things have changed and so has he. He's lightened up the burden in his heart and although he could not forgive himself for killing over 10,000 humans, at least it was something off his back. The restraints that he had set upon himself were off.
"Let's go. I need to disable the cameras now."
"Heheh, I knew you were coming so I switched off the cameras and replaced the footage with a different night☆ Amazing, aren't I~?"
"...Yeah yeah, let's get back now."
Accelerator and Misaki had a moment of silence as they walked out of the building, the locks everything in place as if nothing had happened. But then, Misaki stopped him as he was walking back to the dorms.
"Are you not going back to the hospital?"
"None of your business."
"But that way is towards the dorms...for girls..."
Then it had just occurred to her what he might just be planning.
"Wait, you're not possibly telling me you're sleeping with one of the girls, are you?"
"How is that any of your business."
"I-IT IS!! Wait, are you going to sleepover at Hokaze's place?"
"..."
"Please tell me you're joking..."
"...She told me she wanted me to meet a special someone so she told me to stay. Anyway, if she had to go back to the hospital to fetch me, it would be even more troublesome."
"...That person must be me, right?"
"Probably."
"WAIT, THEN THERE'S NO NEED FOR YOU TO GO THERE!!"
"Tch, my battery is running low. Gotta go now, see you tomorrow."
"Wait!!"
Accelerator turned his battery on as he jumped away to the dorms of Tokiwadai.
"This...ACCELERATORRRRR!!!! REMEMBER SHE'S MINE AND MINE ONLY!!!!"
After shouting that loudly, Misaki immediately ran out of breath as she tried her best to inhale and exhale. She was really unfit.
---------------------------
Accelerator jumped through the window of Hokaze's room, and he quickly switched off his power. It was not a lie to say that his battery was actually running low. Even though he didn't use much of it, it was already blinking red.
"(This battery is really useless...)"
When he entered the room, he saw Hokaze flipping through a book, but it was not any ordinary book, when he went closer he saw pictures of her past self with the other girls of Tokiwadai.
"Welcome back, Accelerator-san."
Her eyes were slightly swollen from all the crying just now but it seemed like she had gotten over it.
"Yeah, I'm back."
"So, what did you find out?"
"Nothing interesting."
"R-Really? But I feel like that search was a bit too fast..."
"You want a handicap person to keep walking? How cruel."
"A-Ah...ummm do you want to sleep on the bed tonight?"
Hokaze got out of the bed as she used her hands like a tour guide to lead Accelerator into the bed.
"Tch, I don't need it. Sleep in it yourself, it's yours anyway. If I were to somehow break the bed, I don't want to be held responsible. Besides, the door and the window wasn't my fault either."
Accelerator then glared at the ghost girl beside Hokaze and she just gave him a small cheeky smile.
"I-I'm sorry. I did not really plan this out now, did I? I should have gotten a futon on the way back."
"It's whatever, I'll just sleep on the floor."
Accelerator sat down on the floor as he leaned his back against the wall.
"B-But I think you should have it. Aren't your legs tired?"
"Ahn? Are you looking down on me now?"
"N-NO! Not at all! But I feel bad that I have to make you sleep on the floor..."
"Hey hey...you know what you should do?"
The ghost girl then got up into his ear as she whispered something while giggling.
"Tch, go away. Your ideas are unbelievable coming from a small child."
"Hm?"
Hokaze looked at them with an innocent but confused face as she stood up straight.
"Anyway, I found a clue that might bring us closer to her."
"You did?! Can you share it with us now?"
Hokaze kneeled down in front of him as she looked at him with those big puppy eyes again.
"(Tch, what's with everyone and their puppy eyes today?!) No, I'll share it tomorrow. Just close the lights already. I'm tired as hell."
"(E-Even though he slept for so long today?!) S-Sure..."
Hokaze turned the lights off and everything went dark. The only thing that illuminated her room was the moonlight in the sky and Hokaze took the spotlight by standing in the middle of the room.
"U-Ummm...Accelerator-san...if you're u-uncomfortable with it, you don't have to say yes, but uhhh..."
"Ha?"
"Well, I-I'm not forcing you to...but uhhh i-if you uhhh..."
"If you have something to say, spit it out already. I wanna get some shut eye."
"W-Well...how do I put this...w-would you like to s-sleep in the bed w-with me!!" She clenched her fists as the words came out of her mouth.
PENSAMENTOS DOS CRIADORES 
dontouchme
dontouchme Hello fellow readers. I have came out with another chapter again. This time its pretty long winded because of a lot of character building and a bit of fun. I enjoyed writing this personally. Not because I'm a pervert but because I like Hokaze Junko's character, I think there's a certain purity to her throughout the Toaru series with her, it was just unfortunate Kamachi couldn't utilize her as much as he could. You could call it bias, but I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter yet again, hope to hear your thoughts. I'm pretty excited to be pushing this right now. I hope you guys will stay for the ride.
