Really?

Well, I need to go. Let's stop here.

Catch you later.

Five more days, huh?

No... I need to stay positive.

He wouldn't want me to mope around when I should be having fun.

Snow?

I'll snap out of it at the count of three.

Hey!

One...

Snow Black!

Two...

Three!

What the—

M-Megumi?!

What's the matter with you?!

Well, you were completely spacing out.

It's just about time for the kayak tour, y'know?

Oh, right.

Sorry, but I'm going to have to cancel.

I'm really not feeling well right now.

In that case, I'll stick around with you.

Megumi?

Those kayak things are flimsy as hell anyway.

Did you drown in a past life or something?

So good!

Everyone is the star of their own life story.

I'm the star of mine, Taku's the star of his...

Chiyu is, too. Even my mother is the star of her own story.

Naturally, Snow Black is no different.

Her story is definitely more exciting than mine.

The following took place in April of 2047.

While Taku, Chiyu, and I were in Tokyo at the mercy of Dusk Taker, Nomi Seiji,

Snow Black was on her own adventure in Okinawa, on a field trip.

A story featuring Snow Black, that I knew nothing about.

I haven't seen you look that way in forever!

Which way?

Yeah. Back when we first met you always had this lost look on your face.

Happened all the time 'til you met that kid last autumn.

It almost looks like you're a little homesick.

Not necessarily home to Tokyo, but to some entirely other world.

Megumi?

You've been to another world that people like me can't see, right?

Maybe your real self is back in that place.

Or maybe not.

The real me?

You really want to know?

What're you doing?

Come now, don't struggle!

But— What the hell are you—

I'm going to teach you!

I'll show you worlds even you don't know about yet.

Through an endless sky we fly

guided by invisible wings

Far in the distance the future awaits us

though as yet we cannot see it

Why have I already awoken?

Day and night pass by too fast

We live our lives engulfed by hazy darkness and knowing it

The day I found you a wind blew that changed it all

A trembling passion

Everything was part of a process that led me to you

Slowly opening up my eyes within the blackness

I can feel how the future will be from far away

and want it to send my heart racing

It's unlimited

It's unlimited

If I can believe in myself again

I will awaken to the light

because you believed in me and now you are here

Never let me go

I'll never lose my way

Here we make a new world

and I'll be proud of the wounds it took

So we smash gravity

I'm sorry, Snow Black.

I just couldn't resist.

Please forgive me.

I know we're on a field trip, but that was pushing it, Megumi.

But you always seem so busy lately...

I figured you'd chill out on a field trip, at the very least.

I figured I could have you all to myself...

Fine, I forgive you. Just don't do it again.

Good! I'll do my best.

Spouting all that nonsense about other worlds and the real me...

Insinuating such things...

But that stuff about the other world is true!

Even someone like me knows about stuff like that.

What?

I remember falling in love with a book when I was very young.

It felt like there was always someone new to meet, adventures to be had...

I read it every day, over and over, never growing tired of it.

But one day, it disappeared.

And now I can't remember what it was called or even what it was about.

On the first page, there was a spell you had to read to get it started.

I'm sure that until I remember the spell,

I'll never make it back to the book's world.

I see. It's like a fairy tale from your childhood.

That's your other world?

Sure is.

I bet I chose to join the literature club

because I wanted to recreate the story myself.

How goes it?

Not well at all.

What's wrong, Snow?

No, it's just, y'know...

Didn't you want to buy some souvenirs, Megumi?

Nah. I don't have anybody waiting for me back in Tokyo.

Ah, right.

I know! How about this?

Why don't we buy each other something during the trip,

and exchange the gifts when we're back at school?

A surprise present, you mean?

That's awfully creative of you!

You think so?

Yeah! But that means we can't go shopping together.

So let's split up for a bit, and meet up at the hotel in about half an hour.

S-Sure then. Let's do that.

I'm gonna find something that'll be the biggest surprise you'll get all year!

A surprise, huh?

Might be fun.

A duel?! In Okinawa?

The old castle stage?

Looks a bit different...

Maybe Okinawa has its own?

It's not the normal old castle!

This is the Okinawan castle stage!

W-Wait Ruka!

You're with the field trip group staying at the hotel, right?

Do you two Burst Linkers live in this area?

Damn strai—er, I mean, of course!

My family has been here for generations!

S-Same here, actually.

Color me surprised. Local Burst Linkers...

Two, even. How interesting!

Right, now then!

Okay, you and me, let's get it on!

B-Be careful though, Ruka! She's Level 9!

That's nothin'!

Only two levels higher than our master!

Unreal!

You were able to make a crater!

That's enough, Ruka! Let's ask her!

Not yet!

An Okinawan warrior won't lose to a mainland samurai!

Tidal Wave!

Death by...

Barraging!

Damn it!

Nice fight though.

You have a great feint and kick ability,

but the transition can afford to be a bit more smooth.

Thanks! I'll work on it for sure!

W-Wait Ruka!

We haven't done what we came here for!

Oh! I almost forgot!

Hey Sis, we need a favor from someone of your caliber.

Can you hear us out?

Well, I'll hear what you have to say at least.

Thank you!

See, there's this coffee shop called Savannah at the end of the street we're on.

Can we meet at one of the tables there in a

minute, when we get back to the real world?

Just a second!

A real world meeting?

Accel World

I'm pretty sure it was you two who invited me here.

Sorry! You're just a total babe, Sis.

She means you're really pretty!

I'm Asato Ruka from Class 2-2 over at Kube Junior High.

And I'm Itosu Mana from Class 1-3.

Nice to meet you!

Wait, wait, wait a second!

Did you just give me your real names?

Of course!

Oh, my. When you said you wanted to meet in

person, I figured you had some ulterior motive.

What's the matter?

Well...

Didn't your master teach you any sort of rules regarding Brain Burst?

Oh, yeah!

First rule! Don't accelerate for evil purposes!

Second! Don't talk about accelerating to just anyone!

That's it!

That's it?

Yup! That's it!

Guess I'll need to have a word with your so-called master.

You will?!

That's great! We couldn't think of how to ask!

W-What?

We wanted you to meet our master!

So Ruka is the protégé of a Burst Linker who moved here from Tokyo,

and Mana is Ruka's protégé.

Right. There's only three of us now,

but we want to increase our contacts and have

the biggest Accel community in Japan some day.

That's right!

But recently, something's been getting in the way of our dream.

At first, our master was trying his best along with us,

but now he's just given up completely.

What happened?

Well to be honest, we don't really understand it ourselves.

Our master said that a monster had appeared.

So that's why we went looking for your help.

We're begging you!

Begging isn't going to get me to give you an answer,

especially since I don't know much about the monster.

I'll need to get more details, so let's go talk to your master at least.

Awesome!

You picked a good one, Mana!

A good one?

Come over to my house!

Whoa, wait.

We shouldn't do this in the real world.

If he's from Tokyo, I've probably

encountered him in Accel World at some point.

Oh, you think so?

I really dunno what our master's gonna do when he sees how pretty you are!

Oh, no!

Snow!

I'm so sorry.

It's okay! I just got here myself.

I couldn't figure out what to get you and I was just so happy knowing you spent

that much time finding something for me, time just flew by!

I'm sorry, Megumi.

I wasn't able to get you anything.

That's okay, Snow. We've still got plenty of time left.

I'm sure you'll find me something!

I promised you though...

It's okay, really. I just...

Oh?

What's wrong with me? I really didn't mean to...

Sorry, I don't know why...

Megumi?

I'll head back to the room.

Just relax and take your time then.

Wait, Megumi!

I'm sorry, Megumi. I messed up.

It's not your fault.

I just got over-excited and made a damn fool of myself.

Please, Snow...

Just let me be for half an hour,

and I'll be right back to my old self.

Megumi, listen.

What you said earlier on the beach was true.

There's a second world for me, where time runs differently.

Since visiting for the first time seven years ago, I've spent a lot of time there.

So much time, in fact, that I forget which is the real thing.

I guess I'm not sure which world I really belong in.

It makes me question who I really am.

But you've always been there to save me from forgetting who I really am.

Ever since you invited me to lunch that first day after the entrance ceremony,

you've been the anchor that keeps me here in the real world.

I've lost many ties to the other world,

though I've begun to build them again recently.

The only tie in this world though is you, my one and only friend.

Snow...

Megumi.

Thank you, Snow.

You've made me so happy by saying that. I'm sorry though...

You have nothing to apologize for.

I was the one who lost track of time.

It's not about that.

I should have apologized to you a long time ago.

The truth is... At that time...

Regular Meeting Umesato Middle Shool: Class Trip Executive Committee

Huh? Is that mine?

Snow?! Sorry!

I completely forgot about the committee meeting!

Please wait here. I'll get ready quick.

Come again!

Welcome!

Cheapest in Okinawa!

While I told you not to get too caught up in Accel World

and that you can't forget that the real world exists,

that sad look on Megumi reminded me that I've

got an awfully long way to go myself, Haruyuki.

I have no doubt that you've found yourself in some sort of terrible predicament.

But until you have the courage to ask, I can't assist you.

Do your best, Haruyuki. I'll do all I can as a Burst Linker here.

Hey!

Sis!

Wow, is this really necessary?

The Savannah is fine—

Stupid! You can't just dive without a safety breaker.

What would you do if you couldn't get to a portal?!

Don't worry, be happy!

Yeah, it would all work out.

The waitress would totally unplug our neuro-linkers.

Just do as I say. Understand?!

I'll meet your master as promised,

but no promises after that.

We might even fight it out.

Okay!

Right then, let's dive on five.

Five, four, three—

Wait up!

What's wrong?

Possession...

The shaman's blood has surfaced!

The shaman? An Okinawan shaman?

Mana is a seer.

I need one more.

One more what?

Another cable.

Oh, where do I plug it in?

You can just leave it there.

Huh?

Just do as she says.

All right, this time we're really going.

Unlimited Burst!

The weathered stage? Where's your master?

This way!

There's a bar here?

Aloha, Master!

O-Oh, aloha.

Really?! You're trashed this early in the day?

Typical old man from Okinawa.

Old man?

I'm still a freshman in high school.

Hey man, can I get more of the vintage liquor?

Now is not the time!

We were able to find someone who could help us!

What? You want a street fight or somethin'?

It's waste of time.

Hopeless, hopeless, hopeless...

One or two against that beast ain't gonna make a difference!

Hey, you.

I'm Level 7 and I can't even touch 'im.

I don't even think a Level 8 would do it. Not a chance.

Why don't you go back out there and get me a King or somethin'?

Why don't you look this way?

Nah, even a King'd have trouble.

Maybe a physics specialist like Vanquish or World End could do it.

Pay attention!

Enough already!

I would have to have the Black King brought here before I moved from this spot—

I figured it was you. Long time no see, Crikin.

No way, no how, time out.

Those legs, that body, calling me Crikin...

It can't be! In the flesh? The one and only...

Black King? Black Lotus?!

I held out my hands, yet my dreams were farther

as I looked up to the Heavens and understood nothing

I was looking, yearning for an answer

yet pretended I'd given up caring about it

I used to be alone and had what my future meant down wrong

There's no denying it

All you have is so warm

since all of it is true love and true tenderness

All you think fascinates me

since all of it are true feelings and true strength

I want to tell you of my love

Next time, "Revolution."

An innocent prayer gives rise to revolution,

reviving a long-lost tale.
