Chapter 1058

"Now, send him back!"

Su Han said inwardly.

A brilliant light enveloped Kameda Hiroji's body, and then Kameda Hiroji vanished into thin air.

"Mission… completed."

Kaichou Uta had yet to fully return to reality.

"I thought this mission might be interesting! Turns out, it was just a walk in the park."

Accelerator's voice carried a hint of complexity.

"... Then let's head back directly."

After Kayaba Akihiko scanned the entire room, he spoke bluntly, and the moment those words came out, the scene immediately fell silent.

Accelerator and Bai Jing Heizi had no time to waste.

"Going back now isn't a big problem!"

Su Han glanced at Wugeng Liuli and Luo Cuilian, understood their thoughts, and chuckled, "Don't we see each other every day in the guild? And if you really miss me, you can visit my world later."

Wugeng Liuli's expression froze, then she gripped Su Han's cheek, disbelief in her eyes.

She instinctively stood up.

"Demon Lord, you just said… we can visit your world?"

Not just Wugeng Liuli and Luo Cuilian—even Accelerator, Bai Jing Heizi, Kaya Kyouya, and Kaichou Uta—all turned their gazes toward him.

With a hint of shock and uncertainty.

"... I already said! Once the crisis in our world was resolved, you could go freely."

Su Han spread his hands and said, "And the crisis in our world was resolved not long ago! Didn't I tell you?"

"I can say with absolute certainty—you never told us!"

Accelerator's lip twitched—what the hell are you talking about? You never once mentioned your world before.

Now you say this—doesn't your conscience hurt? "Maybe I was just careless before. But it's not too late to say it now."

Su Han smiled, then turned toward Kaichou Uta, "Then, Miss Xia Shizi, goodbye!"

"President… at least stay and finish your coffee."

Kaichou Uta sighed, but said nothing more.

Having spent so long in the guild, she had a very clear understanding of Su Han's way of doing things.

"... Actually, what I meant was, we've already finished the coffee."

Luo Cuilian pointed to the empty coffee cup.

Kaichou Uta: "..."

Then Luo Cuilian clicked her tongue, feeling nostalgic, "But compared to this Western coffee, I still prefer Huangyan tea."

"I'll remember. Next time, I'll prepare tea specially for you."

Su Han nodded.

"Thank you, Righteous Brother Lord!"

Seeing Su Han and the others preparing to leave, Eri finally couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked, "... Um… are you really characters from A Certain Magical Index?"

Eri, who had been observing quietly, had learned much from their conversation.

For example, that man who suddenly appeared earlier… was Kameda Hiroji, the author of A Certain Magical Index.

And when that man saw Accelerator and Bai Jing Heizi and the others, his first reaction was panic—not surprise.

That clearly wasn't the emotional response a writer should have upon seeing his own characters.

So Eri now had doubts.

Had Kameda Hiroji once traveled to the A Certain Magical Index world, then slipped into our everyday world, and written down everything he heard and saw there as a book? If everything was as he imagined, perhaps this situation could be explained.

"."

"Indeed!"

Bai Jing Heizi smiled and nodded at Eri.

"... Um… could I go to Academy City to study?"

Eri swallowed hard, looking at Bai Jing Heizi and Accelerator with hopeful eyes.

Although the world revealed by A Certain Magical Index was dark, Academy City's cool esper powers were truly appealing to Eri.

"That's not your world—it's another world entirely."

"And don't treat other worlds like some simple work of fiction! It's a cruel world where you can get hurt and die! Naive girl."

Accelerator glanced at Eri and sneered.

Accelerator always despised others' naivety.

It wasn't out of malice—he believed excessive naivety led to injury.

This was Accelerator's own kind of tenderness.

Eri shrank back, snapping out of her daze—these people were no gentle souls, especially after seeing Su Han wave his hand and Kameda Hiroji collapse in agony.

Eri, who had no idea Su Han was extracting a system, had nearly mistaken his action for some kind of eerie curse.

Realizing this, she immediately lowered her head, suppressing her presence as much as possible, saying nothing.

"Then, everyone, goodbye!"

Su Han nodded to the group and clicked "Submit Mission."

The next moment, a brilliant light enveloped everyone present; when the light faded, the group vanished.

Eri stood frozen for a long time, suddenly feeling as if she had awoken from another lifetime.

Suddenly, she turned to Kaichou Uta, her expression serious.

Yingleili first felt that her… friend, had become strange to her.
