Toaru Kagaku no Accelerator Manga Chapter 005

The fifth chapter of the Toaru Kagaku no Accelerator manga was released on April 26, 2014. It continues with Accelerator and Esther confronting the killers of Hitokawa Hasami.

Synopsis
Continuing from last time, Accelerator tells the DA agent that it's over for him. He tells him that he wanted to question him but doesn't care anymore. Accelerator says that Esther at least have some respect for the dead while he just wants to dissolve or chop them up. With that he charges towards the man and smashes his body to the wall. Accelerator says he was thinking about his bloodflow and bioelectricity to make him into a nice piece of art, but says that he'd be dead and couldn't see it. As Accelerator pushes him further, the man faints out of fear and Accelerator remaks that he is a disgrace to villainy for doing so.

With that, Accelerator looks upon the other one with the Random Number Ultrasonic Blade. In terror, the man tries to run but slips. Accelerator continues to smile as he tries to approach the man, but suddenly something happens: his senses have become blurred and he can't even properly stand, making him fall on the floor. Esther is shocked as well, leading to Accelerator to discover that his forehead is bleeding. Accelerator recalls that it is because Amai Ao shooting him was still recent, hence the reason for his bleeding. Regardless, a little bleeding won't stop him. However, the man does not want to wait, and as Accelerator is still preoccupied, takes his chance and destroys a wall in order to escape. Esther notices this and tries to charge toward the man. Seeing her, he throws the blade and it is enough to crack the ceiling. It then collapses on top of Esther. Seeing her master in danger, Hasami goes toward her and tries to protect her.

While they're busy, the man quickly escapes through the hole he made. Meanwhile, Hasami manages to lift a slab of concrete so that the two of them are freed from the pile. However, the hole has been blocked, and Esther wonders if there is path they can take. Hasami notices the hole on the ceiling, to which she calls to her master, asking for her hand. Noticing what she wants to do, Esther takes off her cloak as she doesn't want Hasami to go out naked.

As the DA agent runs around trying to escape, a crack on the wall appears above him. It is Esther being carried by a cloaked Hasami looking towards him. As they land, the man decides that he needs a hostage. Looking around he finds a mother and her child. As he approaches them, a certain clone throws a box at him. The clone comes between them and the man, saying that what had happened was a type of unacceptable violence. The clone is of course a Sisters.
