The fourth chapter of the Toaru Kagaku no Accelerator manga was released on March 26, 2014. It deals with Accelerator and Estelle confronting the killers of Hitokawa Hasami.

Synopsis
Resting after Accelerator's little episode, Estelle is amazed on how Accelerator suddenly touched Hasami's memories. Suddenly there is a flash, and the charm that was rested on Hasami's bosom floats up. Estelle says that it has worked and that once the Huotou is attached, she can close the circuit. As Estelle tries to do so, Accelerator contemplates what just happened, and compares seeing Hasami's memories as a mind-reading type esper ability that only works on corpses. He then remembers the face of Hasami's killer.

Then the door opens to which two Anti-Skill appear, the same ones that Accelerator noticed before in the halls. The two orders Accelerator and Estelle to get out, saying that it isn't a date spot. Knowing who they are, Accelerator tries to confront them, but Estelle stays his wrath. There, the two begin to check for anything left behind.

After shutting the door of the morgue, Accelerator remarks that the situation is strange. Then Estelle speaks up that things aren't good. She says that since her Huotou has already attached to Hasami, she might begin to move in from of the men. Accelerator then hushes, saying that the two guards have let their guard down.

Meanwhile, the two guards have laid down Hasami's naked body to the floor and being to pour a protein solvent on her body. Suddenly Accelerator kicks the door down with his powers. Noticing Hasami's body, Accelerator mocks them for playing around with a corpse. One of them says that they'd rather have them not see what they're doing. He then says that the #1 can only protect himself, and that they destroy the corpse and the girl (Estelle), they can cut all ties to them. He then says that they have plenty of chemicals to destroy corpses. The other agrees and activates his backpack. Out comes out a bladed weapon equipped on his right arm. He calls it a Random Number Ultrasonic Blade and it cuts through the metal bed and the floor tiles. As he approaches, the other one notices something, as too Accelerator and Estelle. It is Hasami's body rising unnaturally from the floor. In a robotic-like speech, Hasami declares herself to be a Huotou of Estelle. Seeing that her master (Estelle) to under threat, she begins to move, quickly closing the gap between her and the man with the blade. With a kick, she destroys much of the floor tiles of the room and the man's weapon. As the man cries out in pain, Hasami turns her sights towards. In fear, the man steps back and tries to get his gun, calling her a monster.

Seeing that the man is gonna try to fire on Hasami, Estelle tries to go to her. Hasami tries to defend the charm that keeps her moving, allowing for her to be damaged by the bullets. But then Accelerator swiftly goes in front of her, reflecting the bullets with his power.
