- “What are you? Why are you hidden behind the codename Dragon?”
- “Do I have to explain it from there?” the blonde being said in a tone that seemed to be
- saying it was surprised at how unintelligent Accelerator was. “My identity is nothing
- much. I am just a mere hboieEXISTENCEab, so—”
- Aiwass’s words blurred.
- Accelerator frowned, but Aiwass itself seemed puzzled and brought its hand up to its
- throat to check on its voice.
- “...Hmm. So I cannot even express that level of meaning in this world. There are not
- enough headers. This will make the explanation difficult. You do not mind if I do so in a
- rather roundabout way, do you? It would be simple enough to express this directly, but
- then that wgbudDESTRUCTIONwsrui will occur.”
- Aiwass did not seem to be joking.
- The way its voice sounded was odd. When the being’s voice blurred like that, the source
- of the sound seemed to shift. That made it sound very odd. It was a bit like wearing
- stereo headphones with the right and left switched.
- “Are you familiar with the term Fuse Kazakiri?”
- “...?”
- Shiokishi had mentioned that name, but Accelerator had no idea to what it referred.
- However, when Aiwass saw his face, it sighed.
- “It really is a pain to have to explain everything from the very beginning. Remember
- what I say and look into it on your own later. At any rate, that is a being that can be
- referred to as an artificial angel. Given her properties, that is not incorrect, but that does
- not actually reach what Fuse Kazakiri truly is. She is actually something like a
- production line used to form me, Aiwass.”
- Accelerator had not understood most of what the being said, but the word “angel” stuck
- with him.
- When Kihara Amata had injected Last Order with that virus, wings of light had appeared.
- Apparently, the true purpose of that had been part of a plan prepared for this Aiwass.
- “Let us compare it to a crystal. And a familiar substance would be...water or salt. Yes, let
- us go with salt. Think of an AIM diffusion field as extremely concentrated salt water.
- However, that alone will not cause crystallization. To effectively proceed, it is better to
- add a foreign material to the salt water. That foreign material could be a single stick or it
- could be something like small dust. It could even be an nsrioANGELgau like Fuse
- Kazakiri. ...Well, the crystallization is simple, but when you want it to be a particular
- shape and size, the qualities of the core must be carefully prepared.”
- “...Are you saying you’re a being made based on this Fuse Kazakiri thing?”
- “Technically, it is more accurate to say Fuse Kazakiri is a factory production line fine-
- tuned in order to create me. I will not deny that I was born following the pattern of Fuse
- Kazakiri. Although, born is not quite the right word. It would be more correct to say
- uyAPPEARidvif...damn, the language cannot keep up. Rather than ‘born’, let us say
- ‘appeared’. That is not technically correct, but I cannot express it any better than that.”
- Aiwass moved its own index finger slowly down along its chest to its abdomen.
- “Aleister seems to like roundabout methods, but I am not something that can be dealt
- with using clone technology.”
- If that being was a mass of AIM diffusion fields, then it was not human.

- And then what felt to Aiwass like a tiny crack appeared in the center of its body.
- An error had occurred in the aggregation of AIM diffusion fields that controlled Aiwass’s
- existence. Thinking about what could have caused it, Aiwass turned around. Aiwass
- began to disintegrate starting with the ends of its golden hair, but its expression did not
- change.
- “You said...” came a cracking voice.
- It was Accelerator’s voice, but it was no longer in the indecipherable language that
- Aiwass had also been using. He was now speaking in proper human words.
- “...You said that...you appeared by using...the AIM diffusion fields...throughout
- Academy City... And that kid was...given a virus to create...something called
- Fuse...Kazakiri...in order to control...your appearance...”
- “So you have thought about it.”
- Aiwass smiled. As it did, its fingertips started to lose form.
- Its eyes looked down at Accelerator’s cane.
- “So you took the jamming device used to cut off the signal for the remote control for
- your choker and set it to the entire Misaka Network. That network guides the mass of all
- of Academy City’s AIM diffusion fields. It is true that blocking the Misaka Network from
- this area will locally remove the crystal’s core and return it to the original salt water.”
- [...]
- “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law,” Aiwass muttered as if it were singing.
- Its arms had already disintegrated up to the elbows and the pale platinum wings with a
- white core were not moving as if their gears had been removed. The being’s body had
- turned almost transparent and something like a triangular prism could be seen hidden
- in the center of its head. The object’s surface was continually moving around making a
- clicking noise like a keyboard.
- Realizing that Accelerator’s gun was aimed squarely at it, Aiwass spread out its half-
- gone arms and smiled as if to welcome the bullet.
- “I see. Then show me what your Law is.”
- A gunshot rang out.
- It was followed by a sound like a crystal being shattered and the dull sound of a human
- body collapsing.
