“Neenee~! Come to {{Furigana|Uchina|Okinawa}} again ‘kay~!!”

“Onee-sama~, take care<nowiki>~~~</nowiki>!!”

At the main entrance of the resort hotel, the two girls wearing sailor uniform who almost shred off their waving hands, took a deep breath, prepared their timing, <!--Leave that comma alone-->

“{{Furigana|Njichabira|Farewell}}<nowiki>~~~</nowiki>!!”

And shouted.

Kuroyukihime, who was waving her hands from the bus’ window, returned to her seat as the two’s figure disappeared into the cock spur bushes, ‘Fuuuh’ and she let out a long breath. Perhaps, the young man with the shīkuwasā(probably) juice can that looked like a high schooler leaning on the bench a little far away from the two of them was the real Crikin, I think, I’ll stop the in depth investigation here.

“Even in this place you’ve made some cute fans out there, that’s just like you, Hime.”

As the smiling Megumi said that on the seat beside her, *ehem* she cleared her throat in refute.

“T-They are not like fans or sort but......it’s something like, a school cultural exchange......”

“Okay fine, I’ll write it on the Student Council Log then.”

<!--PG263-->
“Uh, no, that’s a bit......”

Thursday, April 18th, 10 o’clock in the morning.

The 61 students of Umesato Middle School was on two large {{Furigana|EV|Electronic Vehicle}} busses separately riding from Henoko heading to Yorontou. Though going back to Tokyo was scheduled for saturday evening, the school trip is finally at the latter half. The other students were feeling more excited toward the climax of the journey however, for Kuroyukihime, who was dead tired, she felt like resting only for today at least. Anyhow, the battle with the legend class enemy at the land of Henoko wasn’t something expected to be experienced as an optional tour.

That was also supposed to be for Wakamiya Megumi who was sitting at the left-side but, she was completely at her usual smiling face while flipping through the Yorontou virtual guide. It seems like that Megumi, let alone the incident on the Unlimited Neutral Field, it is like she cannot even remember visiting the dive booth of Kuroyukihime, Ruka and Mana.


Yesterday evening, Kuroyukihime, bursting out after accomplishing her goal, discovered Megumi with her eyes closed beside her on the sofa instead of Ruka and Mana who has left. She shook her for the time being and the girl soon opened her eyes, with a puzzled face she curiously said ‘Why am I here?’.

After that, they went back to their room, changed clothes to eat dinner, went into the bath and till they were about to sleep, Megumi didn’t mention anything about Accel world even once, Kuroyukihime felt that she appeared to have modestly changed.

<!--PG264-->
After dinner, upon returning to their room, Kuroyukihime directly connected to Megumi for the so titled ‘Student Council related important files synchronization’ and secretly confirmed if she have it on her local memory. However the BB program did not exist there. After all, this girl was once a Burst Linker and with a some kind of logic, she once again opened the door to Accel World that I still don’t understand how even now.

However Kuroyukihime feels that it is okay. Surely that meeting given by this mysterious island of Okinawa is a moment of pure miracle.......


Those thoughts were broken by the blinking incoming text mail icon at the upper part of her vision. Kuroyukihime opening it, the sender was Crikin and its contents are information about the discovery of a deserted dive cafe at the town’s outskirts.

Illegally remodeled Neuro Linker with unequipped startup and global net connection function. Sulfur Pot confessed that during his visit in Henoko on January for a School trip, he hid it on the sofa of the dive cafe which was from the higher-ups of their «Organization». Perhaps that Neuro Linker was a custom «Backdoor Program» device. The program should now be disabled after using the BB center server patch but, in the case that patch somehow examines the existence of BB program inside the Neuro Linker, there is a possibility that it has a way to bypass it.

<!--PG265-->
In that Neuro Linker, not just the back door but the real brain burst installation will be cleared.

For such an unreasonable boldness, it is a chilling terrible way. It’s because in order to prepare on putting the BB program in a Neuro Linker, there would be a real attack extortion...... also, a «Child» would be made without any explanation because there is no way to have a Neuro Linker immediately accept it.

Sulfur Pot also talked about the remote diving plot, but in relation with their «Organization», he didn’t even try to crack his mouth. Furthermore, the moment Kuroyukihime was thinking of killing him continuously, the automatic disconnection safety activated, that’s where he got away.

According to Crikin’s mail, by the time he found the ownerless Neuro Linker, the power was cut off with the memory and even physically went to self-destruction. They’re truly a very bold and cautious «Organization». Either way, there will be a time where I’ll be able to hit them from the front.

—Well, I’ll mercilessly crush them at that time.

Muttering in her thoughts, Kuroyukihime closed the mailer and a cup with rising steam was held out beside her. From the its aroma, it was black tea with citrus flavor additive. She gratefully accepted it and said her thanks.

“Thank you, Megumi.”

“Your welcome.”

<!--PG266-->
Her close friend softly smiled, slightly changed her facial expression and continued with a low voice.

“Hey, Hime.”

“N?”

“I think, I’ll write a story with Okinawa as its setting when we get back to Tokyo. A story about the sea, a dragon, mermaids...... and a swordsman wearing a black Kimono. You know yesterday, I dreamed about that.”

“......I see.”

Kuroyukihime smiled, Megumi softly placed her right hand over her own left hand.

“Of course, I’ll be the first reader right?”

“Fufu, then you should be prepared. ‘Cause it will be quite long.”

“Yeah, I’m looking forward to it. Also, I’m looking forward for the souvenir Megumi bought for me. What could it be......uumu, my cosmic intuition says......”

“Ah, you can’t do that Hime! What will you d if you really got it right?”

“Mmmm......I see it! It is......!”

“No, I said you can’t! If you say any more, I’ll give you a rub!”


Above the heads of the two girls who were having fun, two carry bag were lined up at the luggage shelves above their head.

<!--PG267-->
Inside Kuroyukihime’s bag, there was a Sakuragai<!--sea shells--> in a cherry blossom flower form handicraft necklace.

And in Megumi’s bag, a black Choukai<!--sea shells--> in a black swallowtail butterfly handicraft necklace was inside.

The two of them presented it at the student council room, there was a big surprise to their magnificent agreement, followed by lots of smiles on their faces with stories about the several days that passed.
