Toaru Kagaku no Accelerator Manga Chapter 015

The fifteenth chapter of the Toaru Kagaku no Accelerator manga was released on April 27, 2015.

Synopsis
Hasami the Huotou is unable to take on Naru's attacks head on and is forced to dodge them every time, angering Naru. Seeing that Hasami is able to dodge Naru easily, Esther believes that it is because Naru is unable to create complex components easily, leading to her to believe that they can dodge her. The girl in the flu mask however, somehow being able to read what Esther is thinking, says that she is not correct and as such orders Naru to attack Esther. Naru complies and Esther is unable to dodge. However, at the last moment Hasami arrives and bears the attack for her. The girl in the flu mask orders Naru to let up, and as such continues to press her attack on Hasami. Hasami on the other hand tells her master to escape but Esther refuses, as she wants Hasami to escape as well. As Hasami's body breaks apart, she tells Esther that she is unable to comply with that command and that her safety takes priority.

Finally, the gauntlet that Esther conjured up for her breaks apart, and Hasami is forced to use her bare hands to block Naru's drill. As Hasami is torn into pieces, Esther begins tearing, begging the Scavengers to stop but it falls on deaf ears. Naru continues her assault once last time as they mock Esther. Naru's papers disperse again but this time turning into a giant maw like that of a lamprey. However, before they are engulfed but it, Accelerator finally arrives and with a single touch hurtles Naru away.
