Date Acceleration (Complete)

Slow Progress

"Hahahaha, you are really a one-of-a-kind youngster. DEM is really lucky to have you and you made the right choice by denying Ratatoskr." Westcott laughed proudly at the unamused and irritated Accelerator, who had started to ignore him by reading his newly bought manga.

Westcott smiled while Mathers and Ashcroft had nervous and awkward expressions.

"What is going on?" Lilith wondered, confused, and turned to her teammates.

"Waaa, first he had this cool personality and power, now he is like a super genius," Manami said as her cheeks got redder watching Accelerator tinker in awe.

"Okay, he is definitely Westcott's son. Just look at the similarities, so it is true Mathers is his mistress," Mikari added with amusement and a perverted grin.

"I see, based on the genetic gene pool, if Mathers and Westcott were to reproduce, he would be the exact result. I wonder who has the dominant genes inside of him." Nisha continued monotonically with a slow, cute tilt of her head, giving the people around her a dead look.

"Well, I know something that might get your interest. There is an upcoming major mission that requires your presence," Westcott added with a predatory look as Accelerator slowly lowered his book and looked at him.

"Go on." Accelerator slowly said with anticipation making Westcott amused.

"Aah, when you complete this mission, we can really start working on your unique requests," Westcott said, with his finger rising up.

"This one will be a major operation. Please prepare yourself. The briefing starts tomorrow," Westcott said as he stood up, to which Accelerator glared at his back.

"Ellen, Artemisia, you may leave now. I have certain matters to attend to alone." He said as he walked towards the two females accompanying them. He entered the hallway with a playful and mischievous smile on his face.

Ellen Mathers left, leaving the area, and Artemisia Ashcroft sat next to him. Accelerator responded by reading his manga and taking a sip of his coffee, ignoring her, hoping she would go away.

"I never thought you would be the tinkerer," Artemisia said with amused curiosity as she looked at the machine parts lying around with amazement.

Accelerator did not even bother talking back as he was starting to get engrossed in the story of the new novel and she was starting to get annoying. The members of the Gremlin Unit then joined his table and started to have breakfast with him, which made him more irritated. The members assisted him by moving his stuff to the space in front of him, making room for their food.

"Tch, life is so damn unfair when you want people to approach you and they don't. When you don't want people to approach you, they do. It makes me want to think that the universe really hates me." Accelerator commented mentally as he took a peek at the people sitting around him. One by one, they noticed him and each gave him a kind and cheerful smile that irritated him.

Breakfast continued with Accelerator ignoring the girls trying to force him to socialize.

"Why should I open my eyes and become? I think, does it mean I am?"

In her slumber, the girl said. She desires something she does not know. Her emotions are conflicted between having energy and having no energy.

The girl slowly and weakly attempted to open her eyes, excited and scared to see what was around her.

"TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT"

Sounds coming from various contraptions filled the area.

In front of a wide and long monitor in portrait mode, displaying various types of different programming languages and codes. Something like white and blue glowing prisms manifested in space. The prisms morphed into the shape of a female body, specifically a girl.
