"You're a Shinigami?!" Metsuma was shocked at this information, he didn't expect himself to find a Shinigami so quickly, "Yep and I see you're looking at Shinigami Masters, are you trying one?" she asked him, intrigued and smiling, "Yeah I am, why do you ask?" Metsuma, being slow, doesn't understand the clear "invite".
Metsuma gets back on the chair while she responds.
"I'm gonna be honest, you can't be a Shinigami Master, no matter what."
she says with a serious and mocking tone, "What would you know?" he says, a bit annoyed at her claim.
"Shinigami, while yes, you can defeat them, they won't join you because, one, your mana levels are far lower than an average person with the Mana Disease that even if you defeat a Shinigami, somehow, they wouldn't accept you."
She explains this to him in a cocky manner, clearly mocking him for his weakness.
"W-what, SO ALL MY EFFORTS WERE WASTED, SURELY YOU'RE JOKING."
He says this shocked and upset and this information.
"DAMN IT, SO ALL THIS INFORMATION IS USEFUL AT ALL."
"Well, not really, some Shinigami are malevolent and attack humans for fun, so if you happen to come across one, you'll have the information needed to beat or at least avoid them," the girl says, attempting to comfort him a bit.
Metsuma can only dig his hands in his face in sorrow, realizing that he cannot get stronger.
"But you have something else, something, Powerful."
Metsuma looks at her in confusion, wondering what she is talking about.
"What do you mean?"
Metsuma waited for an answer for what she meant, watching as she acted childish and ignorant for a bit before she responded.
"Your right arm, it has something inside it, not magical nor scientific nor a blessing or a curse, something abnormal, not from this world."
After saying this, Metsuma could only be confused, wondering what she meant, pondering her explanation while looking at his left hand.
"Don't ask me what it is, I don't know what it is either"
She said this right as Metsuma was thinking about asking her what she meant.
"「Excuse me child, Need your help. 」"
The young woman behind him says while chewing gum, Metsuma turned his whole body around, only to see breasts in front of him, extremely close to his face, while the woman looked down at him while he was sitting in the chair.
"Wow!"
He says this while proceeding to look up at her face and leaning back.
"「Are you okay, you're leaning back, please no back up, you could fall. 」"
The woman says this while grabbing the top of his head and putting it back to where it was before Metsuma leaned up but put his head a little too close, Metsuma's face now slightly submerged in her boobs, the woman still holding his head, she introduces herself.
"「My name is Cyra Ines, a pleasure to meet you, young boy」"
Cyra, seemingly having a lack of awareness, keeps his head submerged. Metsuma, confused and slightly blushes at this stranger, sees her face is seemingly lifeless, expressing no emotion when speaking nor reacting to the fact where she put his head. Metsuma puts his hands on her stomach to make sure he doesn't fall off his chair.
"Um, you said you needed help ma'am" he feels awkward in this position and really wants to move from it, but the Shinigami just looks in amusement and giggles under her breath.
"「Yes, please come with me. 」"
Cyra picks him up, which causes his full face to be submerged in her breast, Metsuma blushes and his face turns reddish pink at this and feels weird with what's happening, not expecting this after what happened to him, Cyra now holding him tight, carries him to a section of the library and then puts him down.
"「You know what this is? 」"
She shows him a book, black and having some mechanical pieces at its corners and front, with some large sphere at its center resembling an eye,
"Um…no, what is it?"
Metsuma looks at the book confused and inspects it.
"「It is known as the World Index, it gives you vague information about anything you want but the more mana imbedded into it when asking it a question, the more specific and clear the answer.」"
Cya explains with no expressions on her face as if these are pre-recorded lines, completely inhuman.
"Um…that's nice and all but why are you telling me this exactly?"
Metsuma is unable to look straight at her in the face, his eyes constantly drifting back to her breast, he tries to keep his mind out of the gutter but doesn't know why he is being so perverted.
"Stop being a pervert dammit."
Thinking to himself, remembering his mother telling him to have some self-decency, he briefly dives into his memories remembering when before, he always touched the breasts of older women and while they didn't do anything, he knew they always tried ignoring it.
"「You want to know about your right arm, right? 」"
Metsuma is shocked by this response, he gets suspicious but doesn't bring up how she knows about his right arm, suspecting that she'll just make up some excuse.
"Yeah, I do."
Metsuma takes the book from Cya and tries opening it but it doesn't open, no matter how hard he attempts to pull the cover apart.
"I can't open it for some reason"
He looks at Cyra hoping for an answer, she stands still for a moment before responding.
"「You have to ask the book a question for it to open and reveal the answer. 」"
Metsuma looks at her for a moment and really eyes her down, getting a proper look at her other than her face and breasts.
She has short warm white hair curly hair, her eyes are yellow with a reticle design, she wears a short-sleeved school woman shirt with a light-yellow vest sweater, light blue school skirt, white baggy loose knee-high wool socks and black heeled shoes and a VR headset looking device on her head.
He looks away from her and asks the book his question.
"Is there something special about my right arm?"
He waits for a bit before the book swings open and pages flip inside before stopping and showing him an answer in text that looks like writing but appears like a phone text onto the paper, he reads it and it says [The Power to Deny the World], Metsuma confused can only ponder on these word before the books snaps itself shut.
"「So, what does it say? 」"
Cyra asks, still standing to the side like an android, staring at him, "It said The Power to Deny the World, whatever that means" Cyra looks at Metsuma for a good two minutes staring before responding.
"「Alright, I will be with you for a couple of days」"
Metsuma at first is confused by what she means at first but he thinks of a theory after.
"Is it possible that she knows something about my arm?"
Suspecting she wanted to stick with him because she knew something about the arm decided to go along with it in hopes of gaining more information about it. Metsuma then gets reeled in by Cyra herself, his face once again being put on her side boob, she then walks with him to a Sleep Zone, since Nighttime is approaching.
The perspective switches to Accelerant as he is now wearing a slightly oversized long-sleeved white shirt with gray diamond pattern designs across the front and sleeves, now wearing the earrings he obtained and slightly baggy pants.
He opens the door to the house with Bal following him from behind, Bal carries a large backpack with her.
"Hmm, time to explore this world."
Accelerant jumps in excitement to finally start exploring but he falls down after landing on his feet, forgetting that he cannot stand on his legs that well.
"Don't jump honey."
Bal picks him up from his arm and helps him stand, Accelerant extends the crutch from his gauntlet and starts walking with Bal as they intend to go to a city.
"So what was that city called again?"
Accelerant asked while walking with Bal. Bal takes out a map and points to where they are heading.
"It's called Kira City, a city filled with lots of sweets and famous for its legends of Jack the Ripper."
Accelerant looks at her puzzled at who this Jack the Ripper is. He tries thinking back to his previous life but he is unable to recall anything about this person from his previous world.
"Whose Jack the Ripper?"
Bal is a little bit confused as to why he doesn't know.
"That's strange, he's extremely famous to all the locals and nearby cities know about him as well, are you from a distant land Acel?"
Acel is what she calls Accelerant now because she has no intention of calling him Accelerant every time.
"No…I'm just, very uneducated."
The two find a walking path and follow it, seeing that it leads to Kira City. Accelerant gets better at walking on his own, not able to walk normally with the crutch keeping him up straight.
The two manage to come across 3 large wolves with horns.
'Monsters huh, I'll take care of them."
Accelerant says this while getting ready to fight these monsters. Using his earrings, he stimulates his brain, allowing him to instantly use to Acceldecelerator and move 5x faster than when he used it against Hyi, Accelerant strikes one of the wolves in the head to the ground, which causes its head to be slightly crushed, he attacks another one of the wolves and kicks it multiple times in the nose, which causes it nose to be broken, and he attacks the last wolf by actively killing it through repeated attacks to different parts of it body, attacking its face, stomach, legs and eyes. The other 2 wolves run away, and he lets them.
"I've gotten better, it's so much easier to use my skill now, I keep this up and I'll be able to go faster."
Accelerant thinks this to himself while smiling happily at his new growth.
"Good job, you have gotten better with your skill, keep it up and you'll be able to defeat people with no difficulty"
Bal claps at Acel's growth, proud at what he has achieved in so little time, he seems like a prodigy in her eyes, his quick growth and adaptation to his situation made her believe that he could be one of the strongest people in the current generation.
