One more time.

Start!

I have to get faster and stronger.

For her...

To continue being her partner.

Territories are the areas that legions control.

We have a battle every Saturday to determine who owns them.

Regardless of level, everyone's expected to participate,

and must maintain a 50 percent win rate.

We'll take care of this.

I'm counting on you, Haru! Win for us, like always!

Leave it to me!

First, you have to crush them on the ground,

then swoop down from the sky!

Damn!

Stop using the same tricks over and over.

Once people get used to it, you're an easy target.

What's going on in here?!

Are you all right?

All my eyes will ever behold is you, in all your radiance

I will awaken and tread

through this world

Accel World Accel World

I wallow in self-pity and insignificance

and all that I look out on

is a lie, a fabrication

I realize that, looking from where I stand, practically alone

The future ahead of myself, so much brighter, promises me beauty

We ask for a place where we can all be ourselves, develop as we want

All my eyes will ever behold is you, in all your radiance

Now for the first time I can go faster than the others

and will go farther and higher than I used to

I want to tell you my feelings

I will awaken, walk through this world

and chase it

So that's why you downloaded such an extreme training app?

Flying used to make me unstoppable,

but I've been in such a rut since hitting Level 4.

We haven't been able to expand the Nega Nebulous territory at all.

Even then though, getting a blacklisted app

just to push your pain tolerance to the limit is nuts.

But if you take away my flying ability, I'm just a weak melee fighter!

I have to find a way to avoid being hit from the ground.

Well, take your time and figure it out.

I bet that's what the master would say.

How boring.

We all get to walk home together like this

and all you talk about is that stupid game.

Aw, I'm sorry, Chiyu.

I think some Enjiya ice cream would make up for it.

This time we can try every single parfait flavor!

Come on, really?

Plus some tiramisu, too.

Fine, whatever.

Still though...

I still...

I still need to be stronger!

Welcome home.

Thanks.

Huh?

An angel?

A heavenly illusion...

Hang on just a minute! I'm making cookies.

She's far too realistic for this to be an illusion.

Which means that

someone must have tampered with my

neuro-linker, and this is some kind of trap.

Because there's no way my little sister would be this cute!

Ow! What're you doing?!

Sh-She even feels like the real thing!

Damn it!

You're still here?

Why wouldn't I be?!

Do you not remember me? I'm Saito Tomoko, from Nakano.

Saito from Nakano?

I'm currently in the fifth grade.

I'm pretty sure we're second cousins.

Sorry for just barging in here, but it's nice meeting you!

Arita Saya One of your relatives will be staying for a couple days

and I'm off to Shanghai on a sudden business trip,

Arita Saya so please take care of her for me.

Arita Saya Arita Saya Arita Saya Arita Saya Arita Saya Arita Saya

I'm really sorry for using your kitchen without asking,

but I figured you'd be hungry.

Thanks.

I'll try one.

How did you get in here?

Your mom issued me an instant key.

These are great!

Really? I'm so glad.

Oh!

Don't move.

Um, uh,

what do you want to do?

Play a game maybe?

I don't really play games.

I don't like the neuro-linker a whole lot.

How about an old-fashioned 2-D movie?

Let's just talk instead.

Tell me about your school and stuff!

You're really cute, y'know?

Is this what having a little sister is like?

We're going to be alone for three whole days while Mom's gone.

Whoa, wait!

This is just way too convenient.

Is she really my second cousin?

Saito from Nakano...

No good.

No photos anywhere.

How about this?

Hey there.

Can I get in with you?

Um, uh, no?

But you're taking forever in here

and I'm sick of waiting.

S-Sorry! I'll get out right now! One minute!

It's fine. We're related anyway.

Whoa, not fine. Not fine at all!

Oh, come on. Please don't stare at me!

Tomoko...

What's up?

You're a new Burst Linker, aren't you?

Huh?

You've got tan lines on your neck.

And there's some pictures on Grandpa's home page.

I hate to say it,

but you're ten times cuter now.

You really dug up that much? So untrusting.

You forged the e-mail from my mother, too, huh?

What, were you planning on using me to hack my legion master?

Huh? What are you on about?

I can understand why you'd think that you could never beat Black Lotus,

the Black King, in a fair fight.

But this was just foolish.

Who do you think you're talking to?!

Who says I couldn't win in a fair fight?!

Well, I'm just saying...

Enough of this crap!

It's in your best interest to listen carefully!

You dared to insult the great Scarlet Rain,

and I'm gonna make you pay in full. Just wait!

Watch out!

I'll murder you.

Scarlet? Must be one of the Red Legion's Burst Linkers.

Accel World

It's me.

What's up? Calling at this hour...

I know it's late, sorry. Quick question for you.

What is it?

Have you heard of a Burst Linker named Scarlet Rain?

What's the matter?

Oh, right. I only told you their nicknames and not their real names.

You need to study more.

Scarlet Rain is the second Red King.

Really...

Y-You're the Red King?

Burst Link!

Are you seriously the Red King?

No way...

No, I can't run.

Long range combat is their specialty.

Running away would be a huge mistake!

Not gonna run?

How brave!

Have you forgotten?

About what?

I told you I was going to kill you!

You pervert!

That was an unavoidable accident!

And you were the one who wanted to take a bath with me!

In most games, there's usually a way to capture a giant mecha like this.

Nice! I got behind it!

I'll aim at the joints where the armor is the most thin!

Hot!

Oh, right.

Silver Crow is metal, so flames are useless against me!

Got you now!

In your dreams, kid!

W-Wait up!

The stage is my apartment building! No way!

She destroyed herself...

Guess it doesn't matter how much your avatar looks like a fortress...

Heat Blast Saturation!

Unreal!

Oh, go on, fly! Fly!

I've always wanted to try out my anti-air missiles.

I should warn you. The little robot always wins against the giant battleship!

Not when that little robot's a huge pervert, you idiot!

Hailstorm Domination!

Come on!

I think I can see them.

Silver Crow's All or Nothing Kick!

Take this!

Looks like I win, my dear cousin.

So it would seem.

Will you listen to my request, then?

Request?

Take me to your legion master,

in person.

Both of us, in the flesh.

Morning, Haruyuki.

Good morning, Snow Black. As always...

As always, you're here early.

But of course.

My classes are closer than yours.

That's true.

That and I'd rather not make you wait for me.

This way I can memorize and cherish everything

the moment you appear in the doorway.

By the way, what happened last night?

You were saying something about the Red King.

Oh, well...

About that, actually...

So, that's what happened.

What can I say?

I really want to say that you should have realized it the moment you saw her.

But it's true that it would be hard to imagine that the Red King herself would

do something so reckless.

Exactly.

But why does she want to meet me?

What's her plan?

She said she'd tell you when you meet her.

It moved.

Well, you should think of it as good experience.

Yeah, it was certainly a good thing in a lot of ways.

A fight with one of the kings is something you

can't buy, no matter how many points you have.

So, what was she like?

Crazy, absolutely wild!

She blew away half of City Hall in one blast and reduced my building to rubble.

Scarlet Rain... I heard she poured her bonus points into

improving her long distance fire power.

Did she move at all during your fight?

Yes.

But only about 50 cm.

That's pretty impressive.

The stationary garrison, Immobile Fortress.

She wasn't given the nickname for her lack

of movement. There's just no need for her to.

If I had known that, I'd have given up at the beginning.

I figured the Red King would have "Red" in their name somewhere.

As I said when you called, you really need to study more.

In Accel World, the only person who used "Red" in their name was the Red Rider...

Snow Black?

I beheaded the anti-war Red King.

Was the previous Red King someone important to you?

I'm sorry for being so thoughtless.

Between the call last night and all the personal questions...

I'm sorry, I really am.

It's fine.

Don't worry.

I just thought I'd gotten over it already.

I'd decided back then that every Burst Linker was my enemy.

So feeling like this all of a sudden...

It's completely ridiculous.

I...

I'll never fight against you. I'll never be your enemy.

You're my guardian and I'm your protégé.

That's more important than just being fighters.

Right?

Snow Black...

Maybe she thinks differently.

Maybe she's seen guardians and protégés fight before.

Even if so, I'll...

I'll never fight her!

we are tossed by waves of pain and tears

I'm tossed into the fray, tossed by various fortune

wake up your brain, flashed in the sky

it's a burst of sensation

I found peace once I gave up in this stagnant world

When did it become like that?

Without warning I was thrust into importance

All I seek is some permanence

among these troubled times for us

I will be honest and tell you what I feel

so that my words of truth and the dreams

I couldn't tell you echo in the sky

With more determination than before

I will wipe away the tears in my eyes

and with my new-found strength

I will whisper to myself, "Now is the time!"

and put my wounds to some use at last

Faster, ever faster, towards you

Even if my wings should be torn to pieces

I will make it through this twisted world on foot

and where my feelings lead me

I will accelerate with the truth

Next time, "Escalation."

The history of an armor revealed.

Haruyuki and friends get caught up in a situation escalating out of control.
