The rescue worker seemed a bit flustered.
However, no matter how much he thought about it, there was only one thing he could do.
One path would likely save neither and the other would certainly save one.
As a professional, he knew which one he had to choose.
“...Let me use this. If I don’t, the mother will die, too!!”
“But...!!”
As they once again reached their stalemate, they both heard the sound of a cane striking
the ground.
It was Accelerator.
“Out of the way.”

“Hah...? W-wait a second! Outsiders shouldn’t do anythi—!!”
Accelerator knocked the rescue worker aside without even waiting for him to finish
speaking and moved to the spot the man had previously been in. He leaned over and
reached a hand up to the switch of his choker electrode. He then lightly reached a hand
towards the pregnant woman’s belly.
He had once calculated back from the electrical signals on the surface of the skin in
order to completely rewrite the structure of a small girl’s brain so he could save her.
It was not difficult for him to gather accurate information on the fetus by touching the
pregnant woman’s belly.
(...Gender: Female. Weight: 244 grams. Nutrition Supply Level: 3825. Consciousness
Operation Rate: 3.8. Heart Rate: 60. Stimulus Reaction Rate: 5.52. Cell Division: 88...)
After only a few seconds with his eyes shut, Accelerator returned the electrode’s switch
to normal.
He spoke to the rescue worker who had fallen to the ground.
“Give her the drug. Give her 2.5 grams of ectrin. Put a surface chip over her carotid
artery and inject it inside her over five 10 second periods with 20 second breaks in
between. That will do it.”
“Wait!!” The one objecting was the high school boy not the rescue worker. “What will
happen to the fetus!?”
“That’s what I was fucking calculating, you piece of shit!!” Accelerator yelled back and
the boy fell silent.
The #1 continued on.
“If you truly don’t want them to die, then do as I say. If you do that, it won’t have any
negative effects on the mother or the fetus. You don’t want them both to die while you
argue, do you?”
Having said what he had to say, Accelerator turned towards the rescue worker without
waiting for the boy to respond.
“If you’re gonna do it, you only have five minutes to decide. You want to save both if you
can, right? Then try my way. You’ll still be using the same drug. Do you really have any
reason not to do it?”

The rescue worker shook his head and pulled a chip that looked like a stick of gum out of
his kit. As Accelerator told him, he put the chip on her neck for a short time, pulled it off,
and then continued to repeat the action.
And once he had done it five times like Accelerator had said...
“...Uuh...”
At first, the high school boy did not know who had made that small groan.
When the woman who had been unconscious up until that point opened her eyes, it
truly looked like the boy was going to collapse to the ground.
“...It had no effect on the fetus. Doesn’t look like there was any change to its cell division
rate. Just take her to the hospital like this,” Accelerator said to the rescue worker after
having briefly flipped on the electrode and used his fingertips to check.
