夜の学園都市に潜入したとある少女が『警備員(アンチスキル)』に追われていた。生物の死体を操る力を持つその逃亡者は、なぜかアクセラレータの病室へと侵入する。格闘の末、『警備員』に確保された少女が残した写真には、ラストオーダーの姿が写っていた。それを見たアクセラレータは、裏側にある事情を探るべく、『警備員』に拘束した少女の引き渡しを要求する。『警備員』たちはそれを拒み、疑念を抱いたアクセラレータへと銃を向ける。『警備員』たちの異様なまでに執拗な攻撃はエスカレートを続け、ついには新型の機動兵器を投入するまでに。そしてその機動兵器には、とある秘密が隠されていた。 その夜。逃亡者の少女が、アクセラレータの病室を再び訪れて――。

Synopsis

This section requires expansion

Adapted From

Major Events

  • Necromancer Esther Rosenthal is pursued by members of DA into Heaven Canceller's Hospital. Ending up in Accelerator's room, she tries to attract his attention without success and is captured by her pursuers. Having reflected sound away while reading, Accelerator initially pays them no heed but goes for answers after seeing that Esther had a photograph of Last Order and gets into a fight with the DA members.
  • Accelerator fights and destroys DA's Prototype Coffin, which is revealed to hold the corpse of Hitokawa Hasami who attempted suicide three days earlier (failing but then being murdered by DA) and used her Pyrokinesis, strengthened from Level 2 to Level 4.
  • After encountering Last Order in the corridor, Accelerator meets the escaped Esther in his room and partially chokes her while trying to get answers. Meanwhile, DA member Nishio is disposed of for his failure.
