A certain Chairman of Academy City in Danmachi

Become an adventurer

Accelerator was walking through the thick fog that enveloped the surroundings. When he reached a small, dilapidated wooden door, he stopped. A rundown two-story wooden house appeared before him. With a light wave of his hand, a sword cane materialized in his hand.

"The fog covers knowledge and truth. Disperse and reveal the hidden to your master. Noc Hdadh gu Soilleir."

The door gradually revealed a straight path. He walked through as the door slowly closed behind him. Darkness enveloped the path. Accelerator tapped his staff lightly, and light burst forth in a blinding flash. Before him stood a typical modern mansion, and he quietly entered.

"Welcome, Master."

"Qliphap, how is the kid?"

"Currently, she's sleeping soundly in her room. Hehe, nothing happened while you were out."

"Sorry about that, Qliphap. The gods can see through lies, and some can even see through meticulous disguises. It's not that I doubt your magic, but caution is better. Next time, I'll take you with me."

Accelerator replied to Qliphap.

"..."

"What's wrong, Qliphap?"

"Nehehe... It's just that I'm still not used to your apologies. You've changed so much over the past eight years. You seem more pleasant and adorable. "

Accelerator tightly grasped her wagging tail.

"Ahhh, Master. This is the Master I know."

"Tch, don't talk about that. Take these." He said, handing her two bags.

"What is it, Master?"

"Jagamarukun and fruit juice. I thought you'd prefer them over my coffee."

"Nehehe... I like anything you give me. Thank you, Master." Qliphap took the items and happily consumed them.

His house wasn't too modern; it resembled Yomikawa's old apartment more. It gave him a sense of familiarity that he had left behind when he went to prison. Accelerator gently opened the bedroom door, filled with plants and children's toys. A little girl with silver hair was gently breathing in her sleep.

"Ayla, wake up."

Accelerator sat beside the bed and gently shook the girl. He wasn't the best at waking others, as he usually woke up later than everyone else in his old house. Fortunately, the girl woke up after a long yawn.

"Uwu, hello Accelerator."

The girl, about eight years old, had long hair falling over her shoulders, eyes as blue as the sea, and an adorable face.

"What's the matter?"

"You've been sleeping since we returned to the city, so I brought some food for you. Chloe prepared it carefully."

"Um, thank you... Chloe? Is that mom? Did you meet mom?"

"Yes, I did. From tomorrow, I'll be going out, so you'll stay at her place, okay?"

"Okay. Is mom alright?"

"She's fine. You'll know more after visiting her tomorrow. Now eat up. And remember to take a bath before going to bed."

"Uhmm," she replied, filling her mouth with mushroom soup and bread.

Accelerator wasn't the best caregiver. In fact, he was quite bad at it, but fortunately, the children he knew were somewhat self-reliant. Moreover, he had Qliphap's help in this matter.

Leaving the room, Accelerator went to the living room. In this world, there were no TVs or many other entertainment tools, so in his spare time, he often researched technologies he could create with magic stones. This mini military headset was one of his research projects, designed to make communication in dungeons easier, regardless of distance. It didn't use waves or magic but operated through quantum entanglement.
